"We are determined and on track to meet the Oct. 1 deadline," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told the House Ways and Means... View Enlarged Image
Since the beginning of this year, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius insisted that the ObamaCare exchanges would be ready next Tuesday, when they officially open their virtual doors to those wanting to buy insurance.
"We are determined and on track to meet the Oct. 1 deadline," she said back in April.
Given the incredible IT requirements involved in getting the exchanges ready, the bureaucratic delays, and the government's dubious track record in managing big technology projects, it always looked like a long shot.
And with the deadline just days away, IT problems appear to be mounting, leaving what Sebelius will count as being "ready" an open question.
The Obama administration has already admitted ObamaCare's myriad IT requirements were too much to handle.
Over the summer, for example, it put off a key feature of the small-business exchanges that was supposed to let workers choose from a variety of plans. That proved too complicated to finish in time. So for the next year, at least, small-business employees in the 36 states with federally run exchanges will have to take whatever plan their bosses pick.
The administration also had to delay rules regarding ObamaCare insurance surcharges started producing wildly incorrect information about benefits and costs. The site claimed, for example, that a Florida insurer was providing some medical services at no charge, without noting that the deductible had to be met first.
Data transfers not ready. Utah officials told the Salt Lake Tribune last week that an ObamaCare data transfer system won't be ready on time. Applicants who apply for ObamaCare coverage through a federally run exchange are supposed to be automatically routed to the appropriate state Medicaid offices if they qualify for that coverage.
"What we are hearing from (federal officials) is the functionality ... will not be ready by Oct. 1," Kevin Burt of the state's Department of Workforce Services told the paper. The result could be confusion and delay in benefits.
Data hub security not verified. Also last week, Government Executive reported that administration claims about the security of the data hub hadn't been independently verified by the HHS inspector general. That led Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., to complain to the Washington Free Beacon that "all we have are the statements that they're ready. It's all internal, and it's not checked by the inspector general or by anybody else."
Premium prices faulty. With just days to go before the federal exchanges are set to open, the computer system was still miscalculating the prices people would have to pay for ObamaCare plans, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Nearly half a million ObamaCare enrollees were able to claim more than $235 million in excess subsidies that they will never have to pay back, a recent IRS audit showed, thanks to a quirk in the law that leaves the program vulnerable to potentially billions in excess subsidy payments. Because ...
Have employers cut work hours to avoid ObamaCare penalties? There's no clearer test than the one put forth by the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The Affordable Care Act employer mandate applies to workers who clock at least 30 hours per week. So if companies were seeking to minimize ...
It's now clear that the actual impact of ObamaCare's individual mandate tax penalty will be far worse than the benign intent that the Obama administration claimed. "What we're talking about is a penalty for the few people who will refuse to buy health insurance — even though they can afford ...
The Justice Department on Friday urged a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel to lift a lower-court injunction and let it start granting temporary legal presence to up to 5 million illegal immigrants. The Obama administration is expected to lose this round because two Republican-appointed judges on ...
ObamaCare exchanges have just met a target of 2.8 million young-adult enrollees. The bad news: That target was for last year. By now, there were supposed to have been roughly 5 million paying customers between the ages of 18 and 34. Lagging young-adult enrollment is among the reasons why so many ...

WAITING FOR CHINA: God and Mao in Hong Kong
Anxiety in Hong Kong Over Religious Liberty
Published: April 5, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
For the Catholic Church, though, the continuing official persecution of Catholics in China has created special concerns. Indeed, in early March, the police in Shanghai ransacked the apartment of Bishop Joseph Fan Zhongliang, the pastoral head of that city's ''underground,'' or illegal, Catholics.
While there are no firm figures, it is estimated that there are more than four million parishioners in underground Catholic churches, some of whom have fled to Hong Kong. Another four million belong to the official Patriotic Association.
''If underground church members come to Hong Kong, we will certainly receive them warmly as our brothers and sisters,'' said Bishop John Tong, one of two recently appointed auxiliary bishops. Still, Bishop Tong is aware that formal contacts with China's underground Catholics could present difficulties for the church here.
''Since last year, 50 to 60 priests and some bishops of the underground were arrested,'' he said. ''The whole climate has seen more tightening.''
''We say we will maintain contact with both sides,'' he explained. ''They are all our brothers and sisters. But our parishioners are worried. We try to tell them about the Basic Law, but this is not a basis for optimism. We have to have optimism based on the point of view of faith.''
More worried are many of the Christian social activists, the proliferation of groups involved in issues from bad housing conditions to labor rights and free expression.
''Our goal is to link the various non-governmental groups together so that Hong Kong's voice will be heard,'' said Rose Wu, the general secretary of the Hong Kong Women Christian Council. ''We want to make sure Hong Kong is on the international agenda, to make sure that human rights issues cross national boundaries.
''China is very successful in promoting a culture of silence, to teach people how to obey the Government, that the only thing that matters is money. If people's voices cannot be heard, how can we be represented? How can our problems be solved?''
Mr. Kwok of the Hong Kong Christian Institute, a group that publishes a variety of religious materials, including a journal called ''Think,'' agreed.
''Religious freedom also means fighting for social justice,'' he said, ''to speak up when there is a public policy that does not look after people. That being the case, religious freedom does not look too good.''
Not everyone shares such a gloomy view of the future. At the Po Lin Monastery, the 86-foot-high bronze Buddha was paid for in part by China and crafted by workmen in Nanjing. The project was pushed aggressively by New China News Agency. Mr. Sik, the monk who organized the two-decade-long effort to erect the Buddha, remains convinced that Buddhism will thrive under Chinese rule.
''After the Gang of Four fell,'' he said, referring to the four Communist Party leaders blamed for instigating the decadelong Cultural Revolution in 1966, ''I was the first monk to go to China. I went to China to save fellow monks and to revive Buddhism. I felt that if I didn't go, Buddhism wouldn't come back in China.''
Yet despite the destruction of Buddhist sites and the imprisonment of thousands of monks, Mr. Sik shrinks from blaming Chinese Communism. ''Of course, a lot of things relating to Buddhism were destroyed,'' he said. ''But it was not because of Communism. It was because of historical events.'
In part, his reticence seems to stem from his appointment by Beijing as a China adviser, a role that ended his involvement with Buddhists in Taiwan.
And he retreats from any discussion of the Dalai Lama, the patriarch of Tibetan Buddhism.
''I don't want to talk about politics,'' he said, waving his hand back and forth vigorously. ''I can't get involved with the Dalai Lama since I became an adviser to China.''
He paused in mid-thought and hitched his robe over his shoulder.
''As Hong Kongers,'' he said, ''we believe in freedom. If you're a Christian, you go to your church. If you're Buddhist, you go to temple. As long as we do what we should, Hong Kong will be fine.''

DEFINITION of 'Value'
The monetary, material or assessed worth of an asset, good or service. In accounting, value describes what something is worth in terms of something else. For example, the value of a loaf of bread might be $3; the $3 for the loaf of bread would represent the generally accepted worth of the bread.
In economics, value describes the merit of the benefits of ownership. The benefits of ownership include utility, the pleasure or satisfaction gained by consumption of a particular good or service; and power, the ability of a good or service to be exchanged for other goods, services or money.
BREAKING DOWN 'Value'
Value is used to quantify the worth of something, and different types of value can be applied to explain various situations. For example, the value of a company can be described in terms of its intrinsic value, book value, actual cash value or market value.
Value can be perceived, as in the way consumers perceive the ability of a good or service to meet their needs and their willingness to pay for the good or service.
The value of an asset, good or service can change over time. For example, the price of a security fluctuates.
Value can also relate to how people feel about something, describing how something is regarded and its importance to the individual. For example, a memento may have very little monetary value but have significant sentimental value.

We went to this restaurant on a Saturday evening and were delighted with the ambience, the engagement of the hosts and the food was simple yet finished excellently.
Last week we dined here and had a wonderful experience. We made reservations in advance for two at 630 on a Monday night and ended up being the first patrons. The food was very good and tasty but what impressed me most was the welcoming atmosphere and cordiality extended to us. You could walk by the spot and not notice it but if you do not enter you will be missing a charming dining experience. My favorite dinner of the week that we spent in Amsterdam.
We had the pleasure of dining in this restaurant 2 weeks ago. Wonderful service, very friendly staff and terrific food. The limoncello was fantastic and the tasting appetizer for 2 was amazing. Our waitress was kind enough to tell us that the sides were big enough to share and that we'd ordered too much! It was a 40 minute walk along the canal and worth every step!
I can not even try to provide a review that will give this place the credit it deserves. It is not a beautiful place and one would easily walk by - but ignore that and make a reservation! We had a very friendly waitress who was extremely efficient and very good. We started off with smoked salmon and then moved onto the steak and seabass. The steak was so tender that my husband honestly cut it with his fork. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. My seabass was also perfectly cooked and packed with an incredible flavour. Our wine was beautiful and complemented our dishes perfectly. We also had a side order of green beans and peas that were crisp tender. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better we were brought out the sticky toffee pie which melted our hearts and has left us craving for it ever since. A beautiful mix of sweetness and warmth that I have never experienced. Espresso was also great and finished the meal off perfectly. Absolutely must visit this place when you are in Amsterdam!
Wonderful food, excellent friendly service, great atmosphere. We had a fantastic time would thoroughly recommend this place

GRAPEVINE CREEK (Tarrant County). Grapevine Creek rises just east of the city limits of Grapevine in northeastern Tarrant County (at 32°55' N, 97°03' W) and runs northeast for eight miles to its mouth on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, two miles west of Farmers Branch near Carrollton in Dallas County (at 32°56' N, 96°56' W). It traverses low-rolling to flat terrain, surfaced by sandy and clay loams that support scrub brush, cacti, and grasses. The Grapevine Creek area has been used as crop and range land. In 2015 most of the stream was surrounded by the buildings of Grapevine and Irving.

BASEBALL; Starting Pitching A Concern For Mets
By JASON DIAMOS
Published: May 14, 1999
''The standings only mean something when the season's over,'' Manager Bobby Valentine remarked after the Mets halted a three-game losing streak in Colorado on Wednesday afternoon.
That was Valentine's way of saying that he is not concerned that the Mets trail the Atlanta Braves, as expected, but also Philadelphia going into a three-game series with the surprising Phillies this weekend at Veterans Stadium.
After dropping six of their last eight games, the Mets (19-15) have fallen one-half game behind the second-place Phillies, who have won 8 of 10.
The Mets, who will send Masato Yoshii (2-3) to the mound against Chad Ogea (2-2) tonight, will not have to face Curt Schilling, the Philadelphia ace, this weekend. Schilling is 6-1 and leads the major leagues with three complete games, three more than the entire Mets staff.
And the way the Mets' starters are throwing, the Phillies might not need Schilling anyway.
Aside from Yoshii, who has not allowed a run over 12 innings in his last two outings, the Mets' starters have been brutal this month. The staff's earned run average is 6.44 for May. Over the last six games -- in which the Mets lost two of three in both Arizona and Colorado -- the starters allowed 37 earned runs in 29 1/3 innings, an e.r.a of 11.35. Toss out Yoshii's six scoreless innings in Phoenix on Saturday, and the Mets' starters' e.r.a. on this trip is 14.27.
Yoshii was in danger of losing his starting spot before he tossed six scoreless innings on May 2. But for the moment, he is at the forefront of a rotation whose 5.35 e.r.a. is 15th in the 16-team National League.
The only team with a worse e.r.a. is Colorado, whose starters have a 6.04 mark, but who play home games in the most hitter-friendly park in the league, Coors Field.
Steve Phillips, the Mets' general manager, took steps to improve his team offensively during the off season. And, with the acquisition of Armando Benitez, who hit 100 miles an hour on the radar gun on Wednesday, the Mets possess perhaps the strongest bullpen in the league.
But their starting rotation, so steady last season, is something to worry about.
Last year, the Mets' starters had a 3.74 earned run average, fourth best in the league, as the team won 88 games for the second season in a row.
But Al Leiter has gone from 17-6 with a 2.47 e.r.a. last year to 1-4 with a 5.55 e.r.a. Rick Reed was 16-11 last year with a 3.43 e.r.a. After allowing four runs in five innings Wednesday -- in the second-best outing from a starter on this trip -- Reed is 3-1 but has a 7.48 e.r.a.
Teams are batting .274 against the Mets' starters.
Leiter, Reed and Bobby Jones have all either tied or equaled career highs in earned runs allowed, each having allowed eight in one game on this trip. And Orel Hershiser began the trip by allowing nine runs in Phoenix, only the fourth time in 17 major league seasons Hershiser has allowed nine or more runs in a start.
Valentine said Wednesday that the 40-year-old Hershiser, who was prescribed new contact lenses in Arizona, will start against the Phillies on Sunday in place of Jones, who has a tender right elbow.
''My elbow's been sore the last week or so,'' Jones said Wednesday. He said he first felt something while throwing on the side on May 3.
''And it was tender again today,'' Jones added. ''The extra day of rest may help it. I don't think it's anything serious. I'll throw Friday on the side and see how it reacts. If it's still a problem, it's more than likely I'll get it checked out.''
And if it turns out to be something serious, the Mets may recall Jason Isringhausen from Class AAA Norfolk.
The plan had been to leave Isringhausen and Octavio Dotel, who has been on the disabled list because of a blister on his pitching hand, in the minor leagues until at least June 1. But after tossing six scoreless innings of three-hit ball in a 5-0 victory over Scranton Wilkes-Barre in Norfolk on Wednesday, Isringhausen is 3-0 in seven starts with a 2.23 earned run average. In 40 1/3 innings, Isringhausen has 43 strikeouts.
The Mets optioned outfielder TERRENCE LONG to Norfolk yesterday, and they will likely recall either PAT MAHOMES or DEREK WALLACE. . . . JAE WEONG SEO, one of the Mets' top pitching prospects who was set to be promoted to Class AA Binghamton, instead has been shut down with a sore right elbow. The Mets are strongly recommending that Seo have surgery.

As opposed to a small car made better, Cars.com reviewer Aaron D. Bragman says the 2015 Audi A3 is a better car made small. The entry-level luxury sedan is aimed at hooking Gen Y while they're young, but anyone who appreciates "surprisingly strong" acceleration and "astonishing ride quality" would do well to give this "remarkable little car" due consideration. Bragman was less impressed with the A3's "joyless" steering feel, but overall this is a car that makes its nearly $31,000 starting price seem like a bargain. Read Bragman's review below.

PARIS Buccellati, the Italian fine jewelry house favored by monarchs and movie stars, is feeling the pinch from the U.S. economic downturn but demand for high-end items remains strong.
"We have seen a drop in sales for less expensive jewelry in the United States but our long-standing well-heeled customers do not seem to be affected by the crisis at all," Maria Cristina Buccellati, head of communication, told Reuters in an interview.
"The crisis has been going on for more than eight months but we are only now starting to feel the difference and mainly in the United States," she said.
The Milan jeweler, one the last family-owned in Europe, is the latest luxury goods company to warn of tough trading in the United States, echoing similar comments from Italy's Bulgari BULG.MI and Switzerland's Richemont (CFR.VX).
But the luxury goods sector, which had remained largely unaffected by the global consumer spending crisis until this spring, continues to enjoy stellar growth in countries such as Russia, China and India.
Buccellati said sales of rings and necklaces priced between 10,000 euros ($15,880) and 30,000 euros had slowed in the United States but jewelry items priced above 100,000 euros continued to fly off their velvet displays at the usual pace.
Buccellati's remarks come after Richemont said this spring it expected weaker sales in the United States and low-end products to be more affected than high-end items.
Buccellati, whose cascades of gems can fetch more than $1 million, will show a retrospective of its work in the 16th-Century Assumption Belfry in Moscow's Kremlin from September 25 to January 10.
The jeweler's long-standing customers include actresses Brooke Shields and Rita Wilson as well as monarchs across Europe and the Middle East. Top buyers, Maria Cristina said, usually come from the United States, France, Russia and Japan.
Buccellati is one of the only high-end jewelers who does not routinely lend necklaces and broaches to actresses strutting the red carpets at the Cannes film festival or Oscar ceremony in Hollywood.
"Sometimes, I think, you have to be a snob," said Gianmaria Buccellati, Maria Cristina's father, who heads the business and took over from his father Mario who founded it in 1919.
"In Cannes for example, there are many kinds of stars and starlets, I don't want to be mixed with all of them," he told Reuters in their plush Place Vendome shop.
Sometimes necklaces come back damaged by careless stars, Maria Cristina added.
Gianmaria, 81, manages jewelry production with his son Andrea, 50, while his eldest son Gino, 52, runs the company's silver items production in Bologna. Gianmaria's wife Rosie looks after the company's commercial development.
Buccellati is known for its signature lace rings and necklaces, gold and silver engraved bracelets adorned with precious stones and for its neo-classical style table silverware and ornaments.
Items are handmade using centuries-old goldsmith and silversmith techniques. Some can take several years to complete.
Buccellati makes only about 3,000 jewelry pieces a year, "of which about 500 are one of a kind," said Maria Cristina.
However, Gianmaria said he also took special orders from clients such as Princess Lea of Belgium, who had called this week to discuss a possible ring for her daughter.
The jeweler started making watches in 2000 priced between $10,000 to $150,000, but as opposed to many pricey watches, none of them are embossed with its trademark name.
It says it has tried to preserve the same classical style over the decades.
"We hate flashy jewelry," said Gianmaria. "Many jewelers always try to invent something new but us, we never changed our style, and our customers love that."

GM Pushes Around Gov. Money, Earns First Profit Since 2007
General Motors reported a Q1 2010 profit of $865 million, its first profit in three years, today. GM paid back $8.2 billion in loans from the US and Canadian governments last month. The automaker is still 61% owned by the US Treasury, but expects to buy it out later this year when it goes public again. The New York Times has more:
G.M. has been able to improve its performance even as industry sales remain weak largely because it shed a significant amount of its debt during the six weeks it spent in bankruptcy protection starting in June 2009.
From July to December, G.M. lost $4.3 billion, mostly because of the cost of settling with the United Automobile Workers union over retiree health benefits, but it had positive cash flow of $1 billion. Prior to bankruptcy, G.M. was rapidly depleting its cash reserves and could have run out of money within months had the government not stepped in.
G.M. said revenue was up 40 percent, to $31.5 billion, and it had positive cash flow of $1 billion.
The results show that G.M. is on track to become a public company again as soon as the fourth quarter, allowing the government to recover more of the billions of dollars it spent preventing G.M.'s collapse.
BusinessWeek has a good overview of GM's loan repayment:
…the majority of the government's $50 billion investment is tied up in the Treasury's 61% ownership in the company…GM won't be able to pay the remaining $40 billion of the government's investment until the company launches its planned initial public stock offering, which could happen in the fourth quarter. The $8.4 billion was just the debt portion.
The other critical point is that the $50 billion investment in GM was, in retrospect, more than the company needed. The Treasury Department gave GM a big slug of cash in case there was a double dip in the recession or if wary consumers really fled the company's brands. As the car market got a boost and some of GM's new models sold well, it was clear that GM didn't need all of that cash. So GM just paid back the $8.4 billion in debt with government money.
In GM's case, profit equates to cleverly pushing money around. GM, it seems, is once again gaining traction in the public mind. If that happens, GM has a better chance of basing its profits on more traditional means gaining even more sales–once it goes public again later this year.
May 17, 2010 at 1:06 pm
The key point that the government forced on GM was to force it to eliminate excess capacity so that it could be profitable in the US in a year when auto and light truck sales were around 10 to 12 million. Previously, GM needed domestic auto sales to be on the order of 15 to 16 million for it to sell enough cars to turn a domestic profit. This is why GM is now profitable.
Ford had already done the restructuring to bring its overhead into line with the smaller market but Chrysler was in a position similar to GM.
May 17, 2010 at 2:26 pm
"If that happens, GM has a better chance of basing its profits on more traditional means–sales"
Could you please explain this? – the only thing GM does now is make cars and trucks, All of it's revenue comes from the sale of cars and trucks to dealers. Please explain the implied "less traditional" method that generated the profits and cashflow.
May 17, 2010 at 2:59 pm
It was the right thing to do||||||||save those 3+ million people's jobs! Go American OWNED GM! Please buy from American OWNED companies! Why send your hard earned bottom line dollars to Japan?
May 18, 2010 at 9:42 am
"In GM's case, profit equates to cleverly pushing money around"…..ever read their balance sheet lately? Profit for GM here(800+ million) = operating profit from selling cars…not from cash infusion from the govt. They did push money around to pay the loans back, but that does not factor into profit or loss. Please be objective and precise when reporting.
May 18, 2010 at 12:18 pm
They pushed money around to pay the loans back???? – How is this any different from borrowing money from the bank because you think you might need it, later discovering that you don't need it.. so you pay the loan off plus interest. Did you pay the loan back with the banks money? I don't get the big fuss on either side of issue. GM pays back loan with the governments money???? – that's what loans are – you borrow, you pay back BFD
May 19, 2010 at 12:43 pm
The point here is that the government gave GM too much money at the beginning. So when GM paid off around $8 billion of its loan, it was doing so with the excess the gov. had initially given it. That money, that loan repayment, had nothing to do with selling cars. Without this, GM would have had more debt (and interest fees). This is what is meant by pushing gov. money around.
May 19, 2010 at 1:25 pm
DREA – The reason they didn't need all the money is because they are selling cars and trucks at a profit to dealers. There is sufficient cashflow from the sale of vehicles to fund operations so they didn't need the additional cash on hand. In addition, I'm not sure you understand how Balance Sheets and Income Statements differ. Suppose GM did not repay the debt early. The balance sheet would have showed 8b in debt on the liability side offset by 8b in cash on the asset side which would have zero effect on net worth. The income statement for the quarter would have shown 3 months interest expense which would only reduce profit by the amount of the interest payment. The only thing that debt has to do with profit and loss is the expense incurred in servicing the debt. In short, the profit of 865 million is profit, whether they payoff the loan or not.
May 19, 2010 at 1:31 pm
To put this on a simple scale – You have a good job making $5000 per month. You have $10,000 in your savings account. You have a $5000 balance on your master card. You can payoff the mastercard from savings and have no debt, but you also no longer have 10K in cash in case of emergencies. No big deal so long as you continue your employment and your 5K per month is sufficient to cover your expenses.
May 19, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Also, there is much said about the 50 Billion. 8 billion is a loan which has already been paid back. The remaining 42 Billion is the purchase of 61% of the stock of a privately held company. Whether or not the stock purchase turns out to be a good investment remains to be seen. If GM can continue making 1 billion + per quarter, when the company goes public, it should bring nearly a 100 billion for 100%. Making the government's share worth 61 billion. So the only people who end up with the short end of the stick are the previous stockholders who lost everything and the previous bondholders who may end up with 40 cents on the dollar. The government may actually win this one. Chrysler, is another story.
May 19, 2010 at 1:46 pm
By the way, the remaining 39% is owned by the Bondholders, The UAW Health Insurance Fund, and the Canadian Government
May 19, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Andrew: Ah, facepalm. You're absolutely right. I wasn't conceptualizing the balance sheet correctly, which led me to infer what I did. Thanks for explaining that in more detail. My multitasking got the better of me this week, it seems. When I finally took time to read what I'd written again, after reading your comment, I saw where I'd erred. I corrected the article. Interesting to know, also, about that other 39% of ownership.

Historical Traveler Reviews Topaz, a Kimpton Hotel Washington DC
This hotel was just wonderful. The room was huge with a great big comfy bed, fluffy pillows, funky decor, an armchair, a couch and a desk! The staff was very nice and helpful. The location was also fabulous--tons of restaurants and bars around dupont circle. It is also a 3 minute walk to the subway and about 15-20 minute walk to the monuments/museums. Overall, this hotel helped make a great weekend getaway to dc even better (and for the price--109/night!)
Off the beaten path and well worth it
in dc for a quick weekend and wanted something a little different...i am the queen of internet research on hotel rooms and after careful deliberation decided to choose Topaz because it was a little different than the norm'... all i can say is WOW! Yes good karma is flowing here and you're likely to have it too if you stay here....From the spacious room and the whimsical and hip deco..to the aveda products and herbal tea selections they provided, the concept/theme of this hotel was carried out beautifully...i'll definately be back!
Much Better than Expected!
We stayed at this Boutique Hotel during April 2003. It is a very cozy place, and it's personnel get out of their way to make you feel at home. Location is great!!I highly recommend it.
Stay here
We stayed at the Topaz 4/24-4/28/03 along with another couple. The rooms were great, service was very good, the people at the front desk were very helpful. Be sure to stay a couple floors above the bar/restaurant as it is very noisy and smells of cigarettes. We were on the 4th floor, it was fine. We had breakfast at the little hotel a couple of doors down, which was fun. We would definately stay here again. If you prefer coffee in the morning rather than tea, ask for a French press, they'll even deliver it with the coffee. We got a great rate, well worth the money.
Californian finds a Great hotel
My favorite place to stay in DC...the rooms are so clever and comfortable with all the necessary comforts for a business traveler...the staff is exceptionally nice, and they absolutely "get" customer service.
Alice in Wonderland rooms
We just returned from a lovely stay at Topaz hotel near Dupont circle. WE'll be back. Loved all the little touches and it's proximity to the cafe Teasim and the bookstore/cafe Kramer Books. But we have a few concerns: For a hotel aspiring to be zen-like and an oasis, the pervasive smell of cigarettes in the lobby hinders those aims. I don't know HOW the front desk staff or the doorman can handle the 2nd-hand smoke. (It is quite bad.) Where are the air filters? An opened window? Piped in scents of mint and jasmine? Furthermore, the nonsmoking floor was on floor 2, right above the bar. Soon enough at 10:30pm, smoke was coming through our bathroom vent and we could hear the bass from the bar music. We were given another room on the 7th floor and were quite pleased. So if you want non-smoking, request a higher level floor. You'll be satisifed. The sheets, the duvet, the choice of in-room tea, the shampoo and the robe make for a comfortable, if not luxurious, stay. The breakfast was lacking--no toast just fattening danishes, muffins and croissants--but the dinner menu looked extensive. And they have great happy hour specials.
Nice place but make sure they give you what you ask for!
The hotel is lovely, but when they say there is a data port, they mean you can use the phone line in the hotel room and pay for the long distance call or use the computers in their office. And make sure you reiterate that you want a non smoking room when you check in. That info didn't seem to get to the hotel from reservations. Other than that its a great location and the rooms are very nice and comfortable and the people are very friendly.
Excellent! will stay there again.
i chose the Topaz for a two night stay with my girlfriend after looking through several reviews.
* stayed Dec 2002.

Stay at this hotel!
We absolutely thought this hotel was the best - the decor was interesting and fun - the service was excellent - everyone from the manager to the maids were pleasant and friendly - the location was great - right in the middle of everything -
This was a really great place to come back to after a long day of sightseeing and walking...
When we come to DC again, we'll definitely stay here!
Canterbury Hotel
I stayed here with my fiancee 2 years ago. We had had a terrible time trying to find a hotel in DC, and stayed at a Best Western somewhere in the city with a nice lobby and the most disgusting room ever! Well, I vowed not to stay there another night, and checked my AAA book the next morning to find a new place. I found the Canterbury, we wound up staying there and I have such fond memories of that place! We got a HUGE room at the end of the hall, the place was SO quaint and CUTE and it is in a GREAT part of the city. VERY safe (and this is important in DC!) and we wound up walking to a nice Italian restaurant 2 blocks up for dinner. The next morning we took a trolley from a nearby hotel (easy walk) to see all of the sights. The location of the hotel is terrific too - if you were to keep heading up the street, you would get to the Smithsonian Zoo. Anyway, I do know that it underwent renovations last summer (don't know why, the place was as charming as it could be before!) but we always vow to stay at The Canterbury any time we are in D.C! Loved it!

Three-week trial scheduled for Thomas Lee Johnson
There you go with that "progressive" left again. Sorry, but I'm about as left as you can get yet I support the death penalty for definitive "monsters" with no appeals. (that or an island and a hand full of seeds to grow food) I don't support lawyers that twist the truth and/or split hairs to gain a verdict and I defintiely don't support our prison system. (privatization). Is it possible you confuse Democrats with Progressives? Both the left and the right have equal responsibility for our current legal system.

Actually we are almost to the point where fetal tissue is not needed….almost. PP did nothing illegal as has been shown in multiple investigations. Nothing private entities don't also do. Is it disgusting, yes, immoral, maybe, illegal, no. For some reason, for you, when a government agency does something it's wrong, but when a private entitiy does the same thing for profit it's okay.
james Patterson 2 weeks ago on Ken Collins: GOP puzzles resident
Ken Collins: GOP puzzles resident
I've never quite understood your definition of a "progressive", but by the standard def, I am definitely one and I believe in accountability for all, including corporations and governments. You didn't address holding private corps that are in the fetal tissue business and the treatments that the research has brought. Do you hold them accountable to the same level as PP? Do you reject any of the treatments developed by this research for you and yours? BTW-do you include corps on "government assistance" in your drug testing program? Those holding office? If you treat ALL receiving government money, then I have no problem with drug testing. If it's just the poor, no. What they get is a drop in the bucket.
james Patterson 2 weeks ago on Ken Collins: GOP puzzles resident
Ken Collins: GOP puzzles resident
I assume all those that want to shut down PP also want to shut down the corporations that buy their fetal tissue, the private companies that sell fetal tissue, and all the research facilities that use the tissue. I also assume that you will decline any treatment that fetal tissue reseach resulted in for yourself and your families.
I do have a question. In all the talk, all the debates about abortion, I never see the responsiblity of the male involved discused. Want to drastically reduce abortions? Hold the male 100% accountable for the financial well being of the baby and mother. With DNA testing it should be no problem identifying the father. As long as men get a free pass on preventing pregnancy and/or prividing financial support for the results of their actions, nothing, absolutely nothing, will change in the debate.

I can't believe I'm responding to any of your "fact based" post, but…… Trophy hunting is not a large part of Zimbabwi's tourist dollars, est is 3.2%. As it is not sustainable (there are only so many trophies) this is actually a losing propostion for the long run. Second, trophy hunting is never desirable for herd management as it "culls" the most desirable genes (the survivors/trophies ) and allows less desirable genes to reproduce resulting in weaker genes strains for the herd. Lastly, often times trophy hunting is done using drugs, traps, baiting, etc which is anything but hunting. I know of one such operation (now out of business) in Colorado personally. I am (was) a big game hunter for many years so I'm not anti-hunting. That being said, any hunter worth their salt never takes the prize of the herd. Only shoot the stupid ones was my motto.

Another post-season game-winning hit? Shrug. In the Cubs' world, there's a heavy focus on corporate partnerships right now. Interesting stuff.
So very much to discuss. Wild and crazy rumors from wild and crazy guys. That's a reference!
They look awesome, and they're nearing completion.
Chicago needs revenue, and it's looking increasingly possible that it'll come from you and the Cubs.
And is Rick Renteria now the favorite for the Cubs' managerial job?
Dave Kaplan asked, and Greg Maddux said he's just not that into it.
Tunney sounds frustrated that the Cubs have not begun the renovation process now that the offseason is here.
The AFL team to whom the Cubs send players scored 13 runs yesterday. Cubs prospects drove in 11 of 'em.
He gets a four-year deal, which suggests his waiting game paid off.
Baseball America ranked the top prospects in each minor league. No surprise: the Cubs were well-represented.
All were removed from the 40-man roster.
Are the Yankees really as willing to wait on Girardi as they say they are?
If the Cubs reached out to him, Sosa would be open to a return.
It's OK to pine for a particular manager, even if you can't articulate why he's the right guy. But guard your heart and be patient.
Sweeney gets $3.5 million guaranteed, with a $2.5 million option in 2016.
Let's take a look at the Cubs prospects who will be participating this year.
At least one source thinks word is coming today, and the Cubs will know whether they'll get a shot to talk to Girardi.
More excitement than you could handle yesterday.
If the Yankees steadfastly intend on taking this thing right up to the end of October, how long can the Cubs wait?
As the Cubs wait on Girardi, they're getting the ball rolling on other fronts.

Hello. I took some photos of a friend of a friend. She is really into fashion and wanted that to be portrayed in her photos. Please let me know what you think. I did use some flora bella actions. Thanks. Pics in next post.
CC Please
Cute! I don't really love the first one b/c her face looks so dark. It's hard for me to see all the detail. I don't like the last one either but I love the others!
Hoping for another massage over summer ;)

I'm not super technical yet but I like the look. She is obviously into dressing cute and I think she will love the shots. Her belly is so compact and cute! I would only CC that I can see stretch marks on her bare belly shot. Maybe they can be smoothed out. Great job!
Mommy to two boys! Working on #3!
^^ not everyone wants their stretchmarks edited out, be careful some people can get offended,
looks like a really fun shoot though. I think she is a little soft and oof in some. I like the poses
@ Kate...Good to know. Is there a diplomatic way that you ask the pregnant women you shoot? I would hate to offend anyone I guess I am just thinking of what I would want.
Mommy to two boys! Working on #3!
Thanks for the feedback everyone : ) Kate: she was not soft or oof SOOC, its the flora bella actions that I used, it gives it that kind of look. I hesitated using them because of this, but I kindo of like the look.
I actually dig all of them. I think the pictures are a little different than the typical maternity shoot, and her personality really shows through. I say great job!
Jolie, Mom to Olivia Noelle 12/16/2009
and Meredith Quinn 1/4/2013
He has like the littlest, round belly ever!! My only CC is the 5th one I would have liked to see her feet...I love bare feet pics with pregnant women because when I was pregnant mine were soooooooo swelled up. I think I took like 100 pics of them LOL.
are these the new florabellas? where the B&W florabella actions too? I like the conversion either way. I have the old sets and have been wanting to try the new stuff.

With This Robotics Program Thriving In Public Schools, It's 'Cool To Make Mistakes Again'

Bonjour, France!
Joe Dixon is Chief Learning Officer of Teq, a professional development company for teachers that aims to "champion the continued evolution of the modern classroom." Lately that means getting lots of robots into the hands of schoolkids.
Specifically, Teq is bring the NAO robot, a small humanoid from Aldebaran Robotics, into the classroom for educational applications. The bot is already in widespread use as a development platform for roboticists, and Teq leads weeklong school programs geared for students of all ages in getting the robot to do interesting things.
"NAO represents the ability to bring error back into the classroom," said Dixon. "In the 1930s, educational reformer John Dewey said, 'Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.' Robots make it cool to make mistakes again."
Teq's program has students using the NAO robot's various sensors for navigation, face and voice recognition, and pre-programming specific movements. Despite having sensors and electronics that are about as sophisticated as you can get right now, Dixon says it's "amazingly simple at its base level."
Students are not writing lines and lines of intimidating computer code, but are instead building programs from a "block" language. This enables them to make the robot do useful things without the students' needing to learn super-specific computer syntax. These prewritten "blocks" can be modified and arranged so that NAO can dance, participate in a class' story time, and even help kids with autism interact with other people. But above all, learning elementary robotics teaches kids to think in terms of order and process.
"The robots provide instant feedback and the students don't get upset when something goes wrong, but they instead say, 'What happened?' This gives them the opportunity to make hundreds of mistakes in minutes," Dixon said.
Younger children are encouraged to think about what they'd like their robots to do. They often answer that it should make their bed or help their moms around the house.
