Nice hotel right on a beautiful beachPosted Oct 25, 2014
Hotel restaurants are nice especially sea food but a bit on the expensive side. Typical of the area though.

Nice beachPosted Oct 15, 2014
Pros: The beach
Location: Is just around the corner of "Museo Maya"
Family oriented. Very comfortable beds. They have a children area really close to the pool. My room was a little too small but considering the price I paid I couldn't ask for more.

Nice place on the beachPosted Oct 8, 2014
Pros: It is on the beach
Cons: Rooms and suites should be separated. Period!!!
Location: Great location for my wife and me. Very nice, not crowded in October. Good part of the beach.
We were presently suprised with whole set up. Beach is 2 minutes from the room. Take a breakfast buffet. It's a good start of the day

Would stay again if travelling on businessPosted Oct 7, 2014
Pros: Large apartments with full kitchens. Comfy beds and clean.
Cons: Its old and the area carpets needs changing, urgently. NO WI-FI IN THE ROOMS!!
Location: Great location at one end of the hotel strip but very accessible. Great, wide beach.
Stayed here because its located in the hotel strip and close to many restaurants and sport activities. The beach right behind he hotel is amazing! My wife and I paid US$85.00 including taxes and for that price per night, this hotel is a great deal. Would not pay a cent more... Hotel restaurants are brutally expensive so eat out in one of the many restaurants around.

Very bad, Terrible staff called Angelica, very rude, the very good staff was Nelson he was awesome
by A verified traveler from CA, USA
It was a worst experience.Posted Oct 7, 2014
Pros: Nothing
Cons: They should have better customer service. When we asked for refund for 4 nights, they refused. Which they could have done.
Location: You have to rent a taxi to go where you want to go.
This hotel is not family friendly at all. If you have little kids please don't stay at this hotel. It was our second night at this hotel and we saw very inappropriate behavior in the lobby of this hotel when we were returning from the swimming pool. We checked out next day from this hotel. This hotel still charged us for 6 nights even though we stayed only for 2 nights. We had to rent a different hotel for rest of our stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone for staying in Cancun.

Nice hotel and locationPosted Oct 1, 2014
Pros: The staff for sure, the location and service.
Cons: I wish that they could clean the rooms early in the day and not wait until 4-5pm. They failed to properly clean my room during my stay.
Location: The malls and water parks are near by and easy to get to.
The staff were nice and helpful. The breakfast buffet had a little something for everyone. Easy access to the beach and the mall.

Love the GalePosted Oct 7, 2014
Pros: - The design - Dolce (the Italian restaurant) - The staff was very helpful and friendly - Great amenities (beach, pool, gym, etc) - No noise
Cons: To have a general shower available for guests in case they check out but have a late flight.
Location: Right in the heart of South Beach. Great restaurants, beaches, etc right at your doorstep.
My boyfriend and I just stayed at the Gale Hotel for 4 nights and absolutely loved the Gale. The hotel has a great look and feel to it—very new and modern space that still gives you the fun feeling of old/classic Miami. The location was perfect—right in the center of all the action in South Beach. And even though we were in a room facing Collins Avenue we never heard a peep from outside which was great. The room we stayed in was very comfortable. A bit small to be honest but considering we didn't spend a ton of time in the room it was totally fine. The bathroom is updated with a shower that has a rainfall head (which was amazing). Again, a little small but beautiful and definitely functional. One of my favorite things about the hotel was the beach access. Guests walk one block up and access the beach right behind the Shelborne Hotel. There, guests of the Gale receive two lounge chairs (which were super comfortable) and two beach towels + lounge chair towel covers. If guests would like, they can rent an umbrella, cabana, etc and there is waiter service for food and drinks. So essentially we received all of the amenities that the big hotels offer but for a few hundred dollars less. And if you want to switch things up there is a pool on the roof of the hotel. Also, you HAVE to try the Italian restaurant, Dolce, on the ground floor. Believe it or not, the best meal we had in Miami. I would definitely recommend the Gale to my friends and for sure would stay there again.

Nice hotel but noisy...Posted Oct 6, 2014
Positive: Close to the beach and Ocean Drive as well as all other main entertainment venues. Good food and drinks in the restaurant and bar. Standard rooms are quite small but clean and well equipped. Negative: Our room on the 2nd floor seemed to be next to the hotel's aircon system and was therefore really noisy. On top of that we could here the music from the in-house club. Not the ideal place for a good night's sleep... However, this might be different on other floors.

Excellent hotelPosted Aug 16, 2014
Pros: Great atmosphere
Cons: More closet space A trash can in the room An ice bucket in the room
Location: 2 mins from the beach, shopping and restaurants
Hotel was awesome with super friendly and helpful staff. The beds were very comfortable. There was definitely a lack of closet or drawer space And I thought the $25 resort fee a rip off... For that they should have included an umbrella at the beach. The hotel is close to everywhere... Great restaurants and just 2 minutes walk from the beautiful beach Just remember South Beach is a VERY expensive place to vacation. If I ever return I would absolutely stay at The Gale

At Ruashi mine, in the Eastern province of Katanga, almost 800 children dig for copper and cobalt. At eight years of age, Decu has never owned a football, or played a video game. He has no computer, and no TV. He's never been to school, though he passes young pupils in uniform every morning, as he sets off for work. Read more about Congo's child miner shame

Pakistan to reopen Afghanistan routes after U.S. apology
Pakistan agreed Tuesday to reopen supply routes to the U.S.-led NATO force in Afghanistan after the United States apologized for the first...
McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Pakistan agreed Tuesday to reopen supply routes to the U.S.-led NATO force in Afghanistan after the United States apologized for the first time for inadvertently killing 24 Pakistani troops who were manning two border posts last November.
The Obama administration also agreed to ask Congress to reimburse Pakistan $1 billion for the costs of operations against al-Qaida and other terrorist groups, said a U.S. official, who requested anonymity.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced the reopening of the supply routes from the Pakistani port of Karachi to the Afghan border in a statement in which she also disclosed that she had apologized by telephone to Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar for the mistaken killing of the Pakistani troops in a U.S. airstrike Nov. 26.
"I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives," Clinton said. "Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of the Pakistani military lives. We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military."
Pakistan said the reopening of the routes showed it was "a responsible global partner in stabilizing the region."
Several Pakistani extremist groups vowed to block the move. Hafiz Saeed, the leader of a militant group on whose head Washington, D.C., has placed a $10 million bounty, said: "We will lay siege to Parliament. We won't allow the supply routes to reopen."
The developments came after months of negotiations between diplomatic and military officials in what was already a poisonous atmosphere after the arrest of a CIA contractor who fatally shot two Pakistanis, the launching of the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden without Pakistan's permission and U.S. charges that some elements of Pakistan's security establishment are supporting the Afghan Taliban and their allies.
During the talks, Pakistan demanded that President Obama personally apologize for the deaths of its soldiers, sought a transit fee as high as $5,000 per container and requested as much as $2 billion in reimbursement for the costs of its counterterrorism operations.
The U.S. proposed a far lower fee and it refused to apologize, in part because a U.S. investigation had found the Pakistani military shared some responsibility for the inadvertent exchange of fire that led to the U.S. airstrike.
Moreover, the administration felt apologizing would open it up to Republican criticism after an Afghan extremist group that the U.S. has linked to Pakistan's most powerful spy agency staged high-profile attacks in Kabul and other Afghan cities, U.S. officials said.
In addition, the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force in Kabul was able to ship fuel, ammunition and other supplies by air and via routes that lead through Russia to northern Afghanistan, albeit at an estimated $100 million per month more than the costs of using the Pakistan routes.

Works by mixed-media artist Hyedee Foreman will be on display
Before and after the Krewe of Rio rolls down Vermilion Street and crosses Jefferson Saturday evening, the Second Saturday ArtWalk will thrive as the downtown cultural district's galleries, cafés and restaurants open their doors to some of the finest visual art in South Louisiana — all of it exempt from the 4 percent state sales tax. Several of the galleries and exhibit spaces will be showing work with Mardi Gras themes, including an intriguing display of costumes at the Alexandre Mouton House on nearby Lafayette Street.
Acadiana Center for the Arts
101 W. Vermilion St. / 233-7060
Main Gallery
Lost and Found: Louisiana's Landscapes Revisited
This show includes works by Philip Gould, Fonville Winons, Robert Polidori, Aubrey Edwards, Lee Deigaard, David Weber, Courtney Egan, David Sullivan, Jessica Bizer, Ralph Bourque, Stephen Frederick, Alexander J. Drysdale, Reggie Rodrigue, Hannah Chalew, Thomas Deaton, Jonathan Ryan, Meghan Fleming, Brandon Ballengée, Rachel Jones, Kathy Reed and Steve Breaux and Luis Cruz Azaceta.
AcA Side Gallery
Paintings by Gloria Fiero
Fiero taught history, art history and humanities at the University of Louisiana for 27 years, encouraging students to pursue careers in the visual arts and in art history. Since retirement, Fiero divides the year between West New York and New Orleans, with painting studios in both cities.
Her paintings are a response to the visual complexity of the Mardi Gras as it is celebrated in south Louisiana. "I see the event from the perspective of one who did not grow up in the culture of the Mardi Gras — as a phenomenon that combines the lavish, colorful aspects of street entertainment and the darker, Dionysian aspects of religious ritual. Arms raised in the traditional orans (prayer or worship) position frequently seen in ancient and medieval art become, in today's Mardi Gras celebrations (and in my paintings), a gesture of supplication for beads and trinkets: the commercialized trivia of contemporary culture. There is between float-riders and street-folks a call-and-response dynamic that is basic to the spirit of these images."

OCT 24 You gotta love it when they start eating their young, right? In this post in Politico, BP mouthpiece Geoff Morrell denies that his company's oil spill "ruined the Gulf." Instead, he says, it was Bobby Jindal's decision to divert fresh water into the salt water environment that caused massive losses to shrimp and oyster industries. The evidence doesn't back up any claims that the spill caused that harm, he says. Nothing to see here, move along.
OCT 24 The former mayor of Sorrento was arrested on dozens of child pornography charges, a post on The Creole reports here. Wilson Longanecker Jr. was arrested in his Ascension Parish mansion, the blog reports.
OCT 24 As Bobby Jindal's tenure as governor winds down, blogger Tom Aswell tells us to expect to see more and more of his appointees jumping ship. Some might get shown the door (or the federal indictment, as the case may be) and others are just going to want to avoid standing in "the inevitable unemployment line," he says.
OCT 24 Jim Brown is blogging about elections in this post. There's no one more recognizable when it comes to elections than he is, and yet he still had to show his ID, you know. He gives some easy-to-remember advice on the Amendments: vote against them all. This stuff needs to be handled by legislators, not added to the Constitution, he says.
OCT 24 Bobby Jindal's recent "magical" budget touch - you know, the one that turned a $140 million deficit into a $170 million surplus - is just imaginary, columnist James Gill tells us in this post. It's about as real as that story he tells about the "gold standard" of ethics, Gill says.
OCT 24 George Carter III, a teenage member of the group Kids Rethink New Orleans Schools, died this week, the Picayune reports here. Educators who knew him called him a "visionary." He certainly had some highly-developed ideas for his age, but despite his ability to provide positive ideas for helping kids in the city, in the end he wasn't able to escape NOLA's problems, either.
OCT 24 John Dickerson posts this slice-of-campaign-life look at Mary Landrieu on the trail in Louisiana. Republicans are playing to a runoff, he opines, meaning our state will become "a zoo" if it turns out this race will decide control of the Senate.
OCT 24 Bike lanes have been quite the topic of convo over in NOLA recently, what with streetspace, already at a premium downtown, being sacrified for them. In this post on the Uptown Messenger blog, Owen Courreges opines that the lanes are not really being constructed for people who ride bikes, but instead because developers seeking to make money downtown feel they are needed. He's also predicting that they will increase already nightmarish levels of traffic to new heights. Nah -- that couldn't happen!
OCT 23 Blogger Tom Aswell posts the photo that started making the rounds of the Facebook this week; it shows our governor and his lovely bride, all bright and smiley and holding big guns. The Jindals look a little posed, down to their carefully and properly placed index fingers. They're both grinning wide, displaying how comfortable they are with weaponry. Whee!
OCT 23 This fascinating post on The Lens opens the discussion of New Orleans as subject. C. W. Cannon talks about the concept of dual consciousness and how New Orleanians, especially, have experienced this condition post-Katrina. Cannon attended a recent conference about the issue at Tulane, where the discussion focused on how the romanticization of the city by outsiders masks real social problems.
OCT 23 Bayou Buzz is taking Gov. Bobby Jindal and the GOP to task here for the Ebola shrieking. The so-called "travel ban" makes no sense, and these politicians should have done their homework before coming up with this stunt, Stephen Sabludowsky writes.

Stanford Court Hotel Plans 2014 Transformation
Thursday December 19th, 2013 - 9:35AM GDCKMA
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
SAN FRANCISCO—Stanford Court, formerly the Renaissance San Francisco Stanford Court Hotel, which has recently come under new, independent management, plans to undergo a cultural transformation in 2014.
The 393-room hotel, located atop Nob Hill, launched a locally sourced beverage program earlier this month. Other property enhancements will include a new aesthetic for the hotel lobby, high-tech amenities to enhance guests' stays and partnerships that provide access to the city's cultural attractions.
The new technology-minded, contemporary design concept is already evident in the Stanford Court lobby, where a live-feed video installation relays real-time views from the hotel's rooftop camera. An 80-in., flat-screen TV depicts scenes of the bay and the Nob Hill neighborhood, as well as the Financial District and Telegraph Hill. Stanford Court will also feature a curated display of artwork by up-and-coming Bay Area artists.
Complimentary WiFi is available propertywide and can be accessed via the lobby's courtesy iMac and iPad kiosks. Zipcars are accessible in the front courtyard, and electric car charging stations are soon to be installed. Also arriving in early 2014 will be a state-of-the-art Tech Bar.
A new beverage program, which launched in early December, enables guests to sample a variety of local beers, wines and spirits on tap at Stanford Court's Aurea Lounge within the lobby. Craft brews from San Francisco-based Speakeasy Ales & Lagers and regionally sourced wines will rotate often. The hotel also offers Hangar 1 Vodka and St. George Spirits on tap, in addition to hand-crafted specialty cocktails. Gourmet snacks available include local eats such as 479˚ Popcorn, KRAVE Jerky, TCHO chocolate and Equator Coffees & Teas.
Stanford Court will remain open during its transformation with ongoing enhancements unveiled throughout 2014. A revamped website, reflecting the new branding of the hotel, will launch this winter.

It's been a nice ride for the lodging industry for the past few years, as solid fundamentals have produced steady improvement in both performance and profitability. And just about every one you talk to remains bullish about the prospects for the future.

The semi-autobiographical series, which premieres on Thursday at 9/8c on NBC and is already a hit (and renewed!) in Sweden, is based on Poehler's experiences leaving his high-powered job in New York and moving to Stockholm to be with the love of his life.

After the Games, the deluge. Now that Sochi's Closing Ceremony is but a glittery, shimmering memory, time for TV to get back to normal — which means everything new is finally new again. And for NBC, it signifies another big week, as it tries to keep the momentum going, using a new season of The Voice (8/7c) and its irresistible Blind Auditions to fuel ratings on Mondays and Tuesdays, with a visceral assist from The Blacklist (10/9c). Red's latest target: a woman from his shadowy past played by Jennifer Ehle, who'll always be my favorite Elizabeth Bennet (from the 1995 Pride and Prejudice).
Josh Henderson, Julie Gonzalo
A philandering husband with the initials J.R. A drunk Sue Ellen. A major revenge plan involving Cliff Barnes. TNT's Dallas reboot is looking more than ever the way the show did in its '80s heyday. After securely establishing its own roots over the past two seasons by introducing a compelling new generation of Ewings, producers are now freely embracing the soap's rich history.

NBC has acquired the U.S. broadcast rights to Welcome to Sweden, a sitcom from Amy Poehler and her brother Greg, Deadline reports.
The semi-autobiographical comedy will star creator Greg as Bruce, a New York accountant, who falls for a Swedish girl Emmy (Josephine Bornebusch) and follows her to Sweden.

Over the summer, Priscilla Presley got her Facebook friends excited by posting, "For all of those who mentioned that you would like to see me on Dallas, thank you very much for that support! We will see what happens..."
But are the writers of TNT's reboot really considering bringing back Jenna Wade, whom Presley played from 1983 to '88?

Question: I just read that Mike Kelley, the creator of Revenge, is leaving the show after this season. I will admit that this season isn't as good as the first, but it's OK. There are reports that Mike Kelley wanted shorter seasons, like on cable, with 13 episodes instead of the regular 22 moving forward. Since that wasn't going to happen, he left. What do you think? Do you think the show would work better with a shorter episode order? Also, if Kelley knew the show wouldn't work with longer seasons, why didn't he speak up the first season? Do you think someone else stepping in will freshen the show a bit? I will admit the time I started to take a step back and realize the writers were going too far was when they revealed Victoria had yet another child. Really?! Did you think the writers went overboard with that storyline in particular too? I also don't agree with the assertion that Scandal has replaced Revenge.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Do you know the history of your street name?
There are streets in Winnipeg named after certain themes. For example one area of Fort Garry has used the names of planets — Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Mars.
There is an area just off Selkirk Avenue and Keewatin Street, running west, in which the street names are in alphabetical order. — Arrow, Brazil, Code, Dingle, Ellington, Featherstone, Gainsborough, Huber and Inglis.
In The Maples, there are several streets beginning with the letters "Ma" — Massena, Majorca, Madera, Mannerly, Magenta, Manford, Madrill, Maberly, Manorview, Mandalay and more. Confusing or what?
In Waverley Heights, there's an area with a lake theme — Lake Glen, Lake Crest, Lake Island, Lake Grove, Lake Fall, Lake Village, Lake Lindero, Lake Albrin, Lakedale, Lake Side, and Lake Pointe. There are at least another six streets with "Lake" in them.
I think my favourite street names are these named after people. For the most part, these streets use people's surnames.
In Elmwood, Nairn Avenue was named for Stephen Nairn, who was director of Winnipeg's Grain Exchange, Winnipeg Board of Trade, director of the Winnipeg General Hospital and commissioner of Winnipeg Parks Board.
East Kildonan has Grey Street, named for Lord Grey, Governor General of Canada from 1904 to 1911 and after whom the Grey Cup, emblematic of the Canadian Football League championship, was named.
Devonshire Drive in Transcona was named for Victor Christian Cavendish, ninth Duke of Devonshire who served as Governor General from 1916 to 1921.
Perhaps it's because of the age of the area that North Kildonan doesn't have a great deal of history reflected in street names.
We do have Jim Smith Drive, named after the youngest of eight children (born in 1911), who had too many accomplishments to list all of them in this column. However, he was a school trustee, city councillor, and a Court of Queen's Bench Justice.
We also have Cindy Klassen Way, named for our Olympic speed skating champion, who won five medals at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
I have searched extensively, but it looks like no one has recorded the history behind the naming of these North Kildonan streets — Wynyard Bay, Tomkins Bay, Strongberg Drive, Hanson Street, Manthorne Avenue, Hovingham Street, Popko Crescent, Drobot Place, Middlehurst Crescent, Strood Avenue and Alberhill Crescent.
I have researched "City of Winnipeg Street history" via Google and consulted the book Mosaic of Winnipeg Street Names, by J.B. Rudnykyj, but it looks as if there haven't been any updates for a number of years.

A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has developed a new method for significantly increasing the heat transfer rate across two different materials. Results of the team's study, published in the journal Nature Materials, could enable new advances in cooling computer chips and lighting-emitting diode (LED) devices, collecting solar power, harvesting waste heat, and other applications.
By sandwiching a layer of ultrathin "nanoglue" between copper and silica, the research team demonstrated a four-fold increase in thermal conductance at the interface between the two materials. Less than a nanometer—or one billionth of a meter—thick, the nanoglue is a layer of molecules that form strong links with the copper (a metal) and the silica (a ceramic), which otherwise would not stick together well. This kind of nanomolecular locking improves adhesion, and also helps to sync up the vibrations of atoms that make up the two materials which, in turn, facilitates more efficient transport of heat particles called phonons. Beyond copper and silica, the research team has demonstrated their approach works with other metal-ceramic interfaces.
Heat transfer is a critical aspect of many different technologies. As computer chips grow smaller and more complex, manufacturers are constantly in search of new and better means for removing excess heat from semiconductor devices to boost reliability and performance. With photovoltaic devices, for example, better heat transfer leads to more efficient conversion of sunlight to electrical power. LED makers are also looking for ways to increase efficiency by reducing the percentage of input power lost as heat. Ganapati Ramanath, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rensselaer, who led the new study, said the ability to enhance and optimize interfacial thermal conductance should lead to new innovations in these and other applications.
"Interfaces between different materials are often heat-flow bottlenecks due to stifled phonon transport. Inserting a third material usually only makes things worse because of an additional interface created," Ramanath said. "However, our method of introducing an ultrathin nanolayer of organic molecules that strongly bond with both the materials at the interface gives rise to multi-fold increases in interfacial thermal conductance, contrary to poor heat conduction seen at inorganic-organic interfaces. This method to tune thermal conductance by controlling adhesion using an organic nanolayer works for multiple materials systems, and offers a new means for atomic- and molecular-level manipulation of multiple properties at different types of materials interfaces. Also, it's cool to be able to do this rather unobtrusively by the simple method of self-assembly of a single layer of molecules."
Results of the new study, titled "Bonding-induced thermal conductance enhancement at inorganic heterointerfaces using nanomolecular monolayers," were published online recently by Nature Materials, and will appear in an upcoming print edition of the journal. The study may be viewed online at: http://go.nature.com/3LLeYP
The research team used a combination of experiments and theory to validate their findings.
"Our study establishes the correlation between interfacial bond strength and thermal conductance, which serves to underpin new theoretical descriptions and open up new ways to control interfacial heat transfer," said co-author Pawel Keblinski, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rensselaer.
"It is truly remarkable that a single molecular layer can bring about such a large improvement in the thermal properties of interfaces by forming strong interfacial bonds. This would be useful for controlling heat transport for many applications in electronics, lighting, and energy generation," said co-author Masashi Yamaguchi, associate professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy at Rensselaer.
This study was funded with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
"The overarching goal of Professor Ramanath's NSF-sponsored research is to elucidate, using first-principles-based models, the effects of molecular chemistry, chemical environment, interface topography, and thermo-mechanical cycling on the thermal conductance of metal-ceramic interfaces modified with molecular nanolayers," said Clark V. Cooper, senior advisor for science at the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, who formerly held the post of program director for Materials and Surface Engineering. "Consistent with NSF's mission, the focus of his research is to advance fundamental science, but the potential societal benefits of the research are enormous."
"This is a fascinating example of the interplay between the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties working in unison at the nanoscale to determine the heat transport characteristics at dissimilar metal-ceramic interfaces," said Anupama B. Kaul, a program director for the Division of Electrical, Communications, and Cyber Systems at the NSF Directorate for Engineering. "The fact that the organic nanomolecular layer is just a monolayer in thickness and yet has such an important influence on the thermal characteristics is truly remarkable. Dr. Ramanath's results should be particularly valuable in nanoelectronics where heat management due to shrinking device dimensions continues to be an area of active research."

Frankfurt: RQM
VANCOUVER, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSXV: GGI) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to report that recent reconnaissance work carried out over western portions of its Grizzly Property in the Sheslay Valley, northwest British Columbia, has identified a new zone of porphyry copper mineralization 3 km south of its Grizzly West porphyry target and 3 km west-southwest of Prosper Gold Corp.'s Pyrrhotite Creek prospect in an area referred to as West Kaketsa. Garibaldi is the largest landholder among juniors in the Sheslay district and controls approximately 26,200 hectares in claims. The results of this program suggests potential to significantly broaden a NW/SE trending corridor of porphyry targets that extends for over 30 km through the Sheslay Valley from the western end of the Grizzly Property through Grizzly Central to the recently announced Grizzly East expansion claims.
Given highly encouraging results in the western and central parts of the Grizzly Property, Garibaldi is accelerating its 2014 plans at the Grizzly by launching an aggressive Phase 1 exploration program to include detailed mapping, geochemistry, IP surveys and drilling. The initial stages of this work will commence in the next few weeks and the results will determine the scale of a planned Phase 2 program. Garibaldi is in a strong working capital position and is looking forward to advancing the Grizzly Project concurrently with its assets in Mexico.
"The importance of the discoveries recently announced by Prosper Gold and Doubleview Capital Corp., located approximately 10 km apart on properties within the Sheslay corridor, is the scale of mineralization over such wide distances. Confirmation of another significant porphyry target area several km south of Grizzly West underscores the world class potential of this growing mineralized Cu-Au porphyry corridor in the Sheslay Valley," explained Steve Regoci, Garibaldi President and CEO. "Garibaldi has captured more than 50% of this very prospective corridor with multiple targets already identified from Grizzly West to Grizzly Central through geophysical and geochemical surveys. We're very excited about advancing the Grizzly to a first-ever drilling stage."
West Kaketsa Mineralization Similar To Grizzly West, Pyrrhotite Creek
The extent of the newly discovered mineralized area at West Kaketsa is yet to be determined but it's located approximately 1 km north of the historic West Kaketsa prospect (B.C. Minfile # 104J-024) and appears to be related to a fault that extends at least 3 km to Pyrrhotite Creek on the eastern flank of Mount Kaketsa. Garibaldi's upcoming program at the Grizzly Property includes plans to further define this new zone with IP surveys and identify potential drill targets.
Petrographic analysis of mineralization from both the West Kaketsa and Grizzly West prospects has confirmed that both areas exhibit classic porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization including hydraulic brecciation, disseminated chalcopyrite and intense alteration within a hydrothermal environment. Garibaldi's reconnaissance work identified the new mineralized zone while following up on an encouraging airborne magnetic and radiometric survey completed last fall over western portions of the Grizzly Property.
The airborne survey confirmed that West Kaketsa, like Grizzly West, is in a region of strong magnetic activity and structure, the latter indicating faults and fractures in the intrusive bodies favorable for mineralizing fluids along the contact zones of the Mount Kaketsa monzonite granodiorite stock. Historic technical reports describe porphyry mineralization at West Kaketsa as being similar to mineralization observed at Pyrrhotite Creek. Prosper Gold has reported that Pyrrhotite Creek is a large mineralized zone with multiple porphyry targets located 3 km southwest of the Star porphyries in the SW corner of its Sheslay Property adjoining the Grizzly.
Grizzly West
Last fall's airborne survey shows that Grizzly West is on the periphery of a large magnetic anomaly, in a similar setting to targets on the adjoining Sheslay Property. A soil geochemical survey has defined several strong copper anomalies open in multiple directions at Grizzly West with the grid covering an area approximately 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Fieldwork at this target has confirmed historical reports (Corona Resources) of mineralization with reported grades ranging from 0.20% Cu to 6.7% Cu in rock chip samples.

Maps showing location, sampling areas and full results from recent work completed at West Kaketsa and Grizzly West are available on the Garibaldi web site at www.GaribaldiResources.com.

Once the decision has been made to move part or all of a workload to the cloud, a methodology for selecting that workload needs to be established. How do you move to the cloud? What does the discovery, assessment and planning look like? What workloads make sense? Which cloud model makes sense for each workload? What are the considerations for how to select the right cloud model? And how does that fit in with the overall IT tranformation? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, John Hatem, head of V...

Outside of their 1965-1970 heyday, Michael Nesmith had rarely returned to the Monkees — beyond the odd concert appearance here and there. That is, until bandmate Davy Jones' death in 2012.
Suddenly, the thought of losing this musical bond thrust the remaining threesome back together. Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork have been touring together ever since, making several tandem tours even as Nesmith continues a solo career that began almost immediately after the end of the Monkees' TV show with the First National Band.
"I went out with the guys two or three times," Nesmith recently told a group of fans, "because they had a very active career performing as the Monkees. But I was busy too. I was making movies, and doing stuff — we constantly had schedule conflicts. Then, towards the end just before Davy died, we started talking again. Then, of course, we lost Davy, so Micky, Peter and I thought: 'Well, you know, we should probably do this now — and really get out there. You know, who knows where this is going?'"
Before their tours in 2012-13, Nesmith had been mostly absent from the Monkees, appearing only during an LA encore when the other three reunited for a 20th anniversary tour in 1986. He contributed to their 1996 studio effort Justus, and took part in a brief UK tour that followed. Otherwise, the world mostly saw the Monkees as a trio without Nesmith.
Still, Nesmith argues: "Never did my love for the Monkees, and my love for Micky and Peter and Davy, diminish. It was fun, it was great. I had it as part of my life."

free 7-day trial for their successful Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. The offer is available for North America, Australia and New Zealand. The press release finally gives us some numbers for LoTRO and says there are "4 million characters calling Middle-earth their home." That's a pretty slick way of avoiding how many actual accounts there are, but we'll totally believe them that it's the "second largest MMORPG" behind the unfathomably successful World of Warcraft. In that race, second place is a perfectly respectable place to be.
LoTRO recently had their second content update which continues to drive the MMO in a good direction. The game seems to be doing well enough that it's been mentioned as being part of Midway's increasing fiscal fortitude. The first full expansion for LoTRO, which will cover the events in The Two Towers and its peripheral story lines, is expected to be announced early next year.

Short-Term Ceasefire Needed to Accomplish Disarmament, Says UAE Paper
Att.Editors: The following item is from the Emirates News Agency (WAM)
ABU DHABI,Oct 15 (WAM) - A United Arab Emirates (UAE) daily commented that the call from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) should be heeded. The body responsible for destroying chemical weapons in Syria says that fighting is preventing access to the rebel-held areas and the need of the hour is an instant ceasefire.
Ahmet Uzumcu, the OPCW's director-general, in an SOS to all concerned said that short-term ceasefires could help accomplish the task of disarmament, and in the long run further the prospects of peace and stability. His concern over the rebel-held areas on Monday coincided with Damascus officially joining the Chemical Weapons Convention.
The OPCW says that the authorities have cooperated with the disarmament experts, and it has been able to mop up five of the 20 facilities capable of producing chemical weapons.
"But the point is, until and unless the toxic storage sites in the rebel-held areas are cleansed, the job would be half-done. It is here that the international community, especially the West and the Arab League, has a role to play. Convincing the rebels to open up their areas and provide access to the inspectors is essential," said the English language local daily Khaleej Times in its editorial on Tuesday.
It has to be acknowledged that the OPCW is working under challenging circumstances, especially in the warzone, and the work is a first of its kind. If the rebel-held zones continue to act as no-go areas for the inspectors then Damascus could also come up with excuses, and the process of destroying toxics hits snags. That shouldn't happen.
The United Nations has to ensure that the rebels are convinced and the process of ridding Syria of toxics is accomplished in time. It may be mentioned that Syria has one of the largest stockpiles in the region.
It added that the political accord reached in Geneva between the United States and Russia is duty-bound to oversee the execution of the disarmament process, and Washington has no choice but to prevail over the Syrian Opposition to get the task accomplished. But signs of defiance from the Opposition and gun-toting rebels paint a dismal picture for the West and its allies in the region.
In a statement, the largest group in Syria's opposition said it will not take part in the proposed peace talks in Geneva next month as the international environment is too supportive of the regime in Damascus. This is like putting the cart before the horse. It's time to kick start a result-oriented dialogue process with an unconditional ceasefire. (WAM) (END/2013)

Blog: Esprit plans to get back on track
Leonie Barrie | 19 September 2011
Fashion brand Esprit last week outlined steps to get its business back on track by exiting its North American operations, disposing of its retail businesses in Spain, Denmark and Sweden, and closing certain under-performing stores worldwide. Its plans were outlined as it booked a 98% drop in full-year profit, but analysts have told just-style they believe the company still has a long way to go before it regains a steady footing.
In contrast, Fast Retailing, operator of the Uniqlo casual clothing chain, has outlined ambitious expansion plans to help it become the world's leading manufacturer and retailer by 2020 - including new factories to ramp up production to 5bn items a year. The company hopes to open some 200-300 Uniqlo stores a year as part of the moves, to reach an annual revenue rise of JPY500bn.
It is also eyeing new production bases outside of China, including Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, and will also launch fully-fledged production in India.
But as the eighth round of the talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) concluded in Chicago, stakeholders from the textile, apparel and footwear industry all pitched in on how they believe the best interests of their sectors should be treated in any resulting trade deal. The yarn forward rule of origin has emerged as one of the most divisive issues, with the US and its regional trade partners all calling for strong textile and apparel rules in the pact.
Meanwhile, more than 60 of the world's best known apparel companies and brands, including Adidas, Burberry, C&A, Levi Strauss, Li & Fung, Liz Claiborne and Wal-Mart Stores, have vowed not to source Uzbek cotton harvested using forced child labour. The American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA), representing more than 800 brands, has also signed the pledge.
The Indian government has also decided not to impose any restrictions on cotton exports in the new season, which begins on 1 October. But heavy monsoon rains and devastating floods across the cotton producing areas of Pakistan have damaged more than 1m cotton bales worth around PKR34bn (US$387m).
UK-based fashion retailer Next Plc said it had managed to navigate a "perfect storm" of rising costs to post an 8.5% rise in first-half pre-tax profit, and offered reassurances that prices will not rise any further in the first half of next year. The high street clothing chain said selling prices rose by 7% in the six months to the end of July - but without steps to mitigate a tightening of capacity in the Far East and soaring cotton and oil costs, price rises would have been nearer 18%.

Jim Leftwich to leave DDC for Ohio post
Send this to a friend
- Joe Cogliano, DBJ Staff reporter
Dayton Development Coalition leader Jim Leftwich has been tapped by Ohio Gov. John Kasich to serve as director of the Ohio Department of Development.
In a news release Friday, the coalition said Leftwich will leave March 25.
Jeff Hoagland, who recently joined the coalition as executive vice president for operations, and David Harrision, chief financial officer, will lead the organization until a permanent replacement is named.
"I will certainly miss leading this great organization, but the opportunity to expand our work at the state level is a great honor and a positive reflection of the outstanding work we do here in the Dayton Region," Leftwich said in a news release.
Bruce Langos, chairman of the coalition's Board of Trustees, said during Leftwich's tenure as president and CEO, the region has worked closely with the Air Force to ensure the successful transition of BRAC missions, added more than 7,000 new jobs and nearly $400 million in capital investment.
Kasich also has found a new job for Mark Kvamme, the state development director whose status as a cabinet member has been challenged because he does not live in Ohio.
The news release said Kvamme, a venture capitalist who lives in California, will serve as director of job creation in Kasich's office and step down as the director of the Department of Development.
Kvamme will help oversee job-creation policy statewide, work with regional economic development partners on job-creation strategies and help state agencies maximize the economic benefit of their operations, the releasesaid.
