A murder is committed in Dark Hollow and the proprietor of a neighboring inn is convicted and hanged. Twelve years later events take a turn, and the judge who convicted the man confesses that he himself was the murderer. Meanwhile the man who was hanged was proved to have been a murderer before that time, and for a crowning touch his daughter and the son of the judge are happily united. Shades of Eugenics! The mystery is well sustained and readable.

Governor signs bill demanding Utah federal lands
Friday , March 23, 2012 - 4:31 PM
SALT LAKE CITY-- Gov. Gary Herbert is signing a bill challenging the federal control of public lands in Utah despite legal warnings about significant constitutional issues.
Herbert said during a ceremony at the state Capitol on Friday that House Bill 148 is an important step in a long-standing dispute over public lands.
The bill demands the federal government to relinquish approximately 28 million acres of land within Utah by 2014. National parks, wilderness areas, military installations and Indian reservations are exempted.
Legislative attorneys warn the bill is probably unconstitutional.
Photo Galleries
Herbert says he is willing to challenge the federal government in court if a political solution cannot be found.
The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance says the bill could eliminate important protections from development for wildlife refuges, forests and other sensitive areas.

A Super-Powerful Omoplata Finish
If you grapple then you have to use the omoplata. After all, it's one of the 'big five' attacks from the guard (armbar, kimura, triangle, guillotine and omoplata). Much of the time the omoplata ends up functioning as a sweep - your opponent rolls out of it to escape, you follow him, and get to the top. That's not a problem - you're now on top after all - but wouldn't it have been nice to get … [Read more...]

A US teenager accused of gunning down five family members over the weekend ambushed his father as he returned home from an overnight shift at a rescue mission, then reloaded his rifles and planned to go to a Wal-Mart and randomly shoot people, authorities said Tuesday.
Instead, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego texted a picture of his dead mother to his 12-year-old girlfriend, then spent much of Saturday with the girl and her family, authorities said. That evening, he went to church where Griego's father had been a pastor, and Griego eventually confessed to killing his parents and three younger siblings.
"The motive, as articulated by the suspect, was purely that he was frustrated with his mother," Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said. "He did not give any further explanation."
Houston said Griego had planned the shootings for at least a week, but it's unclear if he ever actually went to a Wal-Mart or why he changed his mind about continuing the attack, which occurred on the same day thousands of gun advocates gathered peacefully at state capitals around the country to rally against stricter limits on firearms. The "Guns Across America" events were being held just after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping package of federal gun-control proposals.
A series of mass shootings especially an elementary school attack in Connecticut last month that left 20 young children and six adults dead have fired up the debate over gun control in the U.S. While many Americans support stricter gun legislation, many others are fiercely opposed, considering it an assault on the Second Amendment of the Constitution that guarantees the right of citizens to bear arms. Obama's proposals include a ban on assault weapons of the sort used both in the New Mexico and Connecticut shootings, but the idea is expected to face stiff support from congressional Republicans, who control the House of Representatives. Griego told detectives he also contemplated killing his girlfriend's parents, Houston said.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Lloret Ramblas Barcelona
Rude staff ruined last night in Barcelona.
This is a basically nice little hotel, no frills, but pleasant and in a great location. But one rude clerk really put a black eye on the place for me.
Our past night there, I bought a Cuban cigar and a nice Rioja and planned to spend some time before bed on the balcony over the Rambla, people watching and reflecting on my trip.
The night clerk (this was about midnite) denied me access to the balcony, even though there were already people out there. He was super rude about it. He said he had to close it so that guests of the hotel would not be disturbed by noise (this is rediculous, worrying about a little noise on the Ramblas). I had to have my wine and cigar on the street, surrounded by homeless people and almost getting knocked over by a fight that broke out. When I returned to the Lloret, the balcony was still open and there were even more people out there. When I asked the clerk what the deal was, he smiled and put up his hands and said "Sorry" in a really condescending way. When I tried to press on, he pretended not to understand English, even though I know he did (everyone speaks good English at this hotel).
This may not sould like a big deal, but I had been planning this balcony thing all day. And if he had been nice about it, probably I would have let it go. But he was a total ------. My money will go somewhere else next time.
BTW, the rest of the staff was great, especially the British guy Alex, and if not for this -------, maybe 4/5 instead of 2/5.
Best budget hotel in barcelona
Best budget hotel i have been to, spotless, clean towels every day[only there 3 nights] reception daytime staff speak excellent english but were very obliging when we practiced our spanish on them. Close to everything you need for a great weekend and no complaints from staff when we got in at 4am in the morning[ we were celebrating a friends 50th birthday]. Good contienental breakfast for 4 euros each per day, we will definitly be going back.
Great location, no frills
The main thing to recommend this hotel is the location, which is at the head of La Rambla very close to Placa Catalunya, making it very accessible. It is also extremely noisy and we were awakened every night by drunken revellers. Ask for a high floor in the back of the building, off the main street. The bathrooms were newly remodeled, very nice.
Bedroom was bare-bones, no dresser or armoire, tile floor, and (ick!) only overhead fluorescent lighting. "Balcony" was hardly big enough for one person to stand on, more for looks than utility. The worst thing was the paper-thin walls, we heard everything (yes, everything) our neighbors were doing.
This hotel is great!!
We have just returned from our second weekend away at the Hotel Lloret. Had room 102 this time, at the front, first floor, balcony looking down on Las Ramblas. The room was spotless, linen crisp, radiators worked. For the price, we were amazed to have a daily maid come in a clear up and make the bed. Plenty of noise well into the night from the street below, but that is why we go to Barcelona, for the excellent buzzy atmosphere. Eat all you like breakfast for only ?4 extra - bargain. Staff friendly. Stay in this hotel, and go and spend the money you have saved in the tapas bars!
Location is everything, as long as it's clean.
Stayed in this cheap, basic but very clean and no-nonsense hotel at the top of the Ramblas......couldn't be more central and if you want a comfy, cheap and clean bed for a short stay, lok no further.
Great location
This Hotel has very good price quality. especially the location is perfect, in the middle of the city, the ramblas. The rooms are basic but ok, beds are good. Our room had very little daylicht but was very quiet. The light in the room was too bright but for us this was the only major thing.
A disappointment, rude staff, go elsewhere!
We stayed at the Rivoli Ramblas for 3 nights and the Lloret for 3 nights. What a drastic difference! The Lloret rooms were tiny and the elevator was ancient. The worst part was that you have to leave your room key with the rude staff every morning before you take off for the day. That might not be a problem except they don't even check ID when you return to get your key. Your stuff could be stolen from right under your nose! The A/C was also old and the place was just plain run down. Granted, the Rivoli cost more but it was well worth it. THIS PLACE WAS A DUMP. But, if you are super low maintenance and trusting, then it might be your place because it is, afterall, on the Ramblas (which is a great area to visit).
Good Hotel, Great Location
I picked Hotel Lloret for a weekend stay based on the strength of other TripAdvisor recommendations, and I was not disappointed. Situated directly on Las Ramblas, only a stone's throw from the bustling Placa de Catalunya, I was very pleased with Hotel Lloret's central location.
The staff were friendly and spoke English, and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, even featuring a small television and air conditioning. For the price (approximately 80 Euros per night for a double), it was perfect.
Good family hotel
Hotel Lloret is a good family hotel. We stayed in May 2003 (my husband and I and our 2-year old son). The rooms are small (3mx3m) but very clean. It is thoroughly cleaned every day, with new towels.The staff is extremely friendly. We payed 75 euro for a double room and an extra cot for our son (no charge). Breakfast is not included, but you pay only 4 Euro for an all you can eat good breakfast. The hotel is as centrally located as it can get near de metro station and bus stops at Placa de Catalunya. We first stayed at the 3rd floor, where the rooms are a bit more cramped than at the 1st floor where we stayed the rest of our holidays. By the way, it was the only hotel that still had rooms available a few days in advance, all the others were fully booked! It is to be adviced to book in advance in Barcelona.
A few days in Barcelona .....
Ideal hotel at the top of The Ramblas if you're into the laid-back approach. Clean, tidy, basic but excellent value for money. Breakfasts were a little plain and repetitive but would stay there again. Not for anyone looking for creature comforts.

text: Snow The Harsh Winter Was Costly for Kentucky Road Crews By Associated Press • Apr 22, 2014 This past winter was a costly one for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The agency says it spent more than $68 million on snow and ice removal. That's about 1 1/2 times the cost of a typical Kentucky winter. The Cabinet's nearly 2,000 maintenance crew employees worked to keep more than 60,000 lane miles of roads open during 31 separate snow and ice events. To keep the roads clear, the Cabinet spread more than 438,000 tons of salt, compared with 194,000 tons state crews put down on roads during a mild winter the year before. On average, crews spread 200,000 to 250,000 tons of salt in a year. This past winter fell short of being a record-setter. The Cabinet says the winter of 2010-2011 cost $74 million and 450,000 tons of salt. Snow on St. Patrick's Day? More Winter Weather Coming to Kentucky By Associated Press • Mar 16, 2014 Kentuckians are about to get reminded that spring isn't here just yet. A cold front moving through the commonwealth Sunday could drop up to 3 inches of snow across the Bluegrass before dusting the mountains. Forecasters say the front also will bring 20-mph wind with gusts up to 35 mph. The National Weather Service office in Louisville has nearly three dozen Kentucky counties under weather advisories starting Sunday afternoon into the Monday morning rush hour. Even places where the snow doesn't stick for long could have a tricky commute since temperatures are expected to fall throughout the day Sunday and remain below freezing well into Monday. Winter Storm Brings Multi-inch Snowfall, But 'Could've Been Much Worse' By Emil Moffatt • Mar 3, 2014 Most of Kentucky received between 2-3 inches snow Sunday night into Monday morning. Mike Callahan with the National Weather Service office in Louisville says that snow was preceded by quite a bit of freezing rain and sleet "Then, the cold air aloft came in and changed the freezing rain over to sleet, and it sleeted for quite a while," said Callahan. "In the Bowling Green area, we had reports of as much as two inches of sleet. And finally, after midnight in changed into snow." Callahan says the storm "could have been much worse" had there been more freezing rain Sunday night. He says temperatures should climb above freezing Tuesday and we should see a warming trend for the rest of the week. But will this mark the final winter storm of the season? "Unfortunately, it is too early to tell," said Callahan. "However, our long-range patterns are starting to show perhaps a break in this cold pattern, maybe starting in mid-March." Snow, Ice Stressing Salt Supply in Elizabethtown Area By WKU Public Radio News • Feb 7, 2014 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet This week's snowfall and ice across parts of Kentucky are taking a toll on the Transportation Cabinet's salt supply. Spokesman Chris Jessie says District 4 – which includes Hardin, Hart, Larue and eight other surrounding counties, has had to order reinforcements and borrow from the reserve stock in Louisville. "We're keeping close watch on the forecast through this upcoming week," said Jessie. "So while we have salt on hand in our District 4 counties, if we continue to get these rounds of snow and ice as we've had over the past week, our situation will become more critical." He says crews are currently using salt "wisely", but if supplies continue to diminish they may have to resort to conservation efforts. He says that means treating only main routes and those roadways with the highest volume of traffic. "We want to be sure motorists understand this potential conservation method before we have to implement it," said Jessie. As of last week, the Transportation Cabinet said that crews had spread more than 220,000 tons of salt across the state this winter. More Snow Expected in Kentucky Saturday By Associated Press • Jan 24, 2014 More snow is headed for Kentucky. The National Weather Service is forecasting up to 4 inches of accumulation on Saturday for a portion of the state. The weather service says up a system is expected to hit the state early Saturday and could bring up to 4 inches of snow in central and eastern Kentucky. Northern Kentucky is expected to see up to three inches of accumulation and south-central parts of the state could see up to an inch of snow. It comes on the heels of another system that dropped 3-5 inches of snow over a large section of the state earlier in the week. The weather service is also warning of high winds and frigid temperatures. Wind chill readings could have some areas seeing subzero temperatures. Thousands Still without Power By Dan Modlin • Mar 5, 2012 Officials with the Kentucky Public Service Commission say there are about 93 hundred power outages in storm damaged areas of Kentucky, as of mid-morning Monday. That number does not include outages in areas served by municipal utilties or by rural electric cooperatives in the Tennessee Valley system. Wintry Mix Predicted for Tonight and Early Tuesday By Joe Corcoran • Feb 13, 2012 The National Weather Service predicts a mix of wintry weather is on the way tonight into tomorrow morning. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews have started pre-treating highways in western and northern Kentucky in anticipation of possible sleet or snow tonight.

About MarginProbe
The MarginProbe system comprises a single-use probe and a portable console. During breast cancer surgery, the surgeon utilizes the probe to apply radio frequency signals to excised tissue specimens. The reflections of these signals are captured by the probe, compared to a pre-defined criteria, and characterized as positive or negative for cancer at the tissue margins. With simple operation and instantaneous results, the procedure easily integrates into existing surgical workflow.
In October 2008, American Journal of Surgery published results of a 300-patient, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to study the benefit of MarginProbe in intraoperative margin assessment for BCS and the associated reduction in second surgeries. In the treatment group, surgeons applied the MarginProbe to excised tissue specimens and re-excised additional tissue according to the device's readings. The second surgery rate was significantly reduced by 56 percent with use of MarginProbe.

Working Life of Christina McKelvie MSP
4th January 2008
Getting on
with work
I hope everyone had a lovely festive season. We�re
back to Parliament this week and straight into work. On the
Education Committee we�ll be looking at Stage 2 of the Graduate
Endowment Bill, that�s when we go through it line by line and make
any amendments necessary as we go.
This is my first Bill in committee � we did the
pre-legislative report for Stage 1 � and I�m told that it will be
hard work but very interesting. I look forward to seeing how the
system works and how much the other parties will try to change the
Being a minority Government, the SNP cannot force
legislation through; we have to negotiate to get support from other
parties, as we did for the abolition of tolls on the Forth and Tay
bridges, and as we�ve had to do for every vote in Parliament. We
have to find consensus for each and every policy we try to get
through, so that will be an interesting four years ahead then!
In the constituency, the Forestry Commission offered
us each a Christmas tree for a charity of our choice, and I was
pleased to be able to take them up on that and send a tree to the
Haven in Blantyre which Linda Fabiani and I visited earlier in the
The Haven does incredible work in easing the
suffering of people with life-shortening illnesses, and it�s a
pleasure to be able to help them just a bit.
I attended the funeral of South Lanarkshire
councillor John Higgins on Saturday. It was, as any funeral is, a
sombre occasion, and my thoughts are with his wife and two sons.
John was elected for the first time in May and threw himself into
working for the people in his ward, and it�s up to the local party
now to keep the seat that he won.
It�s always sad to lose nationalists, but we have to
keep going and keep fighting Scotland�s corner.
Just one thing before I go for now � I hope that in
this year ahead Scottish politics will get back to debating policy
and making Scotland a better place. The distractions we saw in the
last months of last year weren�t good for any of us, politician or
not, and I hope they will be resolved quickly to allow us to get
back to making Scotland a better place.

How Ray Ban is Using Music, Architecture and the Human Experience to Sell Sunglasses
I love when I come across a utilitarian brand like Ray Ban who, despite selling a product that doesn't naturally lend itself to content creation (who wants to read dozens of articles about sunglasses?), has a content marketing strategy that is engaging, memorable, and, more or less, killing it.
Ray Ban LogoThe trick? Excellent storytelling that aligns the brand with the target market's deeper interests. Or — in Ray Ban's case — using music, architecture and the human experience to sell sunglasses.

Dozens were injured and at least one killed in a highway pileup in snowy Denver that involved 104 vehicles.
The name and age of the killed individual was not released.
The weekend wreck on Interstate 25 spanned about two miles, The Associated Press reported. Northbound lanes closed down for hours, while the 30 who were injured were flown to area hospitals.
Meanwhile, the drivers who weren't injured were sent on city buses to speak to accident investigators, AP said.
Snow was largely to blame for the wreck, and weather forecasters say the system is slowly moving from the region.
"We're on the front leading edge of it, so there's some moisture coming up," National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina said, in the AP report.

Normandy Hotel good for value abd location
Overall the Hotel was a good value and the staff were excellent especially when we had a problem with the room AC. They solved the problem.
The only negative aspect about the hotel was, the breakfast was not included and it was not very
When we checked in the hotel clerk should of informed us that the breakfast was not included.
After informing managment about this they took the charge off the bill.
If you choose this hotel take the bus to the Metro System, Dupont Circle is half mile away.
Worth a return (to the scene of the crime)
A boutique hotel is always cozy, but the amenities at the Normandy were really great: in-room espresso machine (but stocked with too many decaf pods and not enough creamers and sweeteners), free WiFi, in-room DVD player, in-room refrigerator,
raindrop showerhead, daily (even on weekends) social hour with wine and cheese-and-cracker plates (not replenished enough), and coffee/latte/espresso/hot chocolate/tea available all day in the sunroom and lobby living room area. So this place definitely felt like a nice respite from weary travels and a gem of a find in Washington DC's Embassy Row neighborhood. Parking is awful, so rental car users beware: because of the diplomat neighbors, there is almost no unrestricted parking for many blocks around.
Also, I returned to the hotel one morning after brunch and found the entire street corner marked off with police tape. The lobby, elevator, third floor, and my sixth floor all had signs of some kind of domestic dispute gone badly in one of the rooms that caused some people to go running through the halls in a mad rage, contaminating what looked like the entire building. I don't need the gory details, and my stay was already pre-paid which was still a great deal, and I'm familiar enough with the area to know that it was an isolated incident in a safe neighborhood. But the management of the hotel never explained what happened to me (or the other guests, apparently), which made the whole incident feel more dubious than perhaps it was. Some kind of accurate report would have been appreciated; a gesture of goodwill (like a return visit credit or a bottle of wine or something) would have been even better. To return to your hotel room twice and be told by housekeeping staff "be careful of the mess" when walking on carpet or moving through a hallway is unsettling to say the least.
Walk north on Connecticut to Woodley Park or south on Connecticut to Dupont Circle for lots of dining and drinking options. A longer walk or short cab ride to Logan Circle will bring you even more choices.
Girls Night Out
We stayed at the Normandy for one Saturday night to visit a club in D.C! The room was so nice, service was great! They gave us complimentary wine, chocolate and cheese...staff was very friendly and hotel a block from Connecticut Ave which has
everything you need!! LOVED MY STAY
Wonderful getaway
The Hotel was beautiful, centrally located, close to subways, restaurants, grocery stores, post office, malls, markets. The staff were very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable. Loved the wine and cheese each evening; loved the cold water with
lemon and cucumber. Very refreshing each evening after our walks. Loved the warm Chocolate Chip cookies in the mornings. If The Normandie had a pool and hot tub, I would have been in 7th heaven. Because it was hot and humid during our visit, a pool would have hit the spot after our long days of walking. A pool was available two blocks away, but that just didn't work for us. Everything else was A+.
The subways worked incredibly well for us and centrally located to The Normandie Hotel. It took us to every part of Washington, D.C. so we didn't need a car or taxi. We got to and from airports and all our shopping and dining and sightseeing. If you are staying at least 6 days, buy the unlimited pass. Subways were very safe.
FABULOUS...note: Rooms ending in "10"
FABULOUS place, FABULOUS Staff!!!, Only problem....rooms ending in "10" do NOT have
the micro fridges...due to the layout of specific rooms; yet the staff was so willing to "keep anything
down here"...We really didn't need to :)
OH and the BOOK
COLLECTION they provide
in their lounge rooms down stairs is exquisite! That
matches the decor of all public areas to browse and enjoy!!! DEFINATELY!!! will return! SO Tasteful,
and intimate.....truely a "Botuique Hotel" at it's best!
Very European feel. Appreciate the wine tasting and the espresso made in the room or the hotel's lounge area. Room was small but clean and modern. Breakfast is available but they don't advertise the $16 price.
Would not recommend
not a good choice
Had high hopes as the hotel is lovely - but numerous flaws overshaddows the beautiful lobby. Very long uphill walk from Metro stop, rooms are beyond tiny and have NO bureaus - so other than a tiny clost you have no way to unpack. Bathroom is
lovely, but tiny, and no where to hang the bath towels. Continental b'fast at $17 is Horrible Value - some salami, fruit slices, hard boiled eggs, and not yet thawed English muffins, and a broken coffee machine. Each day we found that they had not replenished our in room coffee supplies and completely ran out of caffinated coffee. For some reason they never gave us face cloths. Calls to the front desk resulted in NOTHING happening. Cocktail hour is lovely though - though one night they ran out of some foods and said the order did not show up. Management clearly needs to be better - the entire staff looked overwhelmed just trying to keep up with having and serving food and cleaning the rooms and keeping up with the laundry. AC is poor - suggest some ceiling fans as rooms get warm at night. Hotel had so much potential, but they need to do a way better job with b'fast (as there is no where else to go nearby) and management needs to greatly improvemd so that basic services can be handled. It is a pretty little place, and charming....but we obviously can not recommend this hotel.
Have b'fast at the nearby Hikton - amazing b'fast and wait staff!!
Wonderful hotel to stay at in Washington, DC
We stayed for seven nights at the Normandy. The staff was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome. We were unfamiliar with the city and asked many questions. They were courteous and friendly. Our room was very clean and housekeeping was
thorough. The room was small but the hotel has an inviting lobby. It is in a beautiful neighborhood and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and public transportation. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Normandy.
Pretty good
I went to D.C. on a business trip with my husband. We upgraded . The hotel is a small, cute very well decorated and very clean place. Is more an European style hotel. Elevator is pretty small. We both really like the hotel for the price.I saw my
friend's room hotel at the Hilton and it was not much bigger, she payed $100 extra per night!
If we are back to D.C. we are planing to stay here again. It is true that it can get little noisy but during our 4 nights there, it was quiet during the night.
