The horses are in there, with tales of Secretariat and War Emblem, horses carrying soldiers to war, hobby-horses, and the bond between humans and horses. But not in the way you expect.
This is a story about a sportswriter father, written by his son. But it's more than that. It's about being at the Keeneland yearling sale on September 10 and 11th 2001. It's about hearing his father's story of the 1973 Triple Crown races and the man as a boy sitting in the press box after a baseball game watching his father interact with his fellow newspapermen. It's about that moment in your life when you first see the human being, not the parent, and coming to terms with it. And a lot of other stuff that is hard to explain but makes perfect sense as you read it. It roams from Woodstock, to 1830's Germany, to the 1800's journal of a Kentucky itinerate well-digger, to the 2003 Belmont Stakes and ends in a way that is a perfect tribute in so many ways you have to have read it for me to explain it.
The last time I was so taken by a book was John Irving's The World According to Garp. But this is real life, and it tastes of it. Buy it if you are interested in horses - or in humans. Or in both.

text: 4. Popular, Inc. Shares of Popular, Inc. ( BPOP) of Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, closed at $1.46 Wednesday, down 54% year-to-date. The company had $39 billion in total assets as of June 30, with a nonperforming assets ratio of 6.50%, declining from 6.52% the previous quarter and 6.62% in June 2010, according to SNL Financial. Popular was included among TheStreet's 10 Banks on Solid Financial Footing, because the company's Tier 1 common equity ratio was a strong 11.53% as of June 30, according to SNL. The company owes $935 million in TARP money. Second-quarter net income applicable to common stock was $109.8 million, or 11 cents a share, compared to $9.2 million, or a penny a share, in the first quarter, and a net loss of $236.2 million, or 28 cents a share, for the second quarter of 2010. The Second-quarter return on average assets was 1.14%, according to SNL, for, by far, the strongest earnings performance among this group of 10 banks and thrifts. . The results for the second quarter of 2010 reflected a capital raise that was initially a preferred issue, later converted to common shares after shareholder approval to increase the common share count. Upon conversion, the company recorded one-time $192 million dividend on preferred shares during the second quarter. Second-quarter 2011 results were boosted by "a tax benefit of $59.6 million related to the timing of loan charge-offs for tax purposes." Popular had agreed with Puerto Rico's Department of the Treasury to defer tax deductions related to loan charge-offs that occurred in 2009 and 2010 to 2013 through 2016. The company said that "as a result of the agreement, the Corporation made a payment of $89.4 million to the P.R. Treasury and recorded a tax benefit on its financial statements of $143 million, or $53.6 net of the payment made" to the Puerto Rico Treasury." Popular's second-quarter net interest income totaled $374.5 million, increasing by $31.2 million from the previous quarter, reflecting improved yields on loans acquired when the company purchased the failed Westernbank Puerto Rico from the FDIC. Popular's quarterly financial reports tend to contain many adjustments, as the company continues to work through April 2010 acquisition of the failed Westernbank, and handles Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. loss-share accounting and tax issues. The shares trade for less than five times the consensus 2012 earnings estimate of 33 cents a share, among analysts polled by FactSet. The stock trades for less than half the company's June 30 tangible book value of $3.14, according to SNL. Following "another messy quarter due to a tax benefit and loss share accounting noise," Derek Hewitt of KBW in July reiterated his "Outperform" rating for Popular, with a $4.50 price target, saying that the company's "higher accretable yield, lower funding costs and some opportunistic portfolio purchases drove higher spread revenue," and that its capital continued to grow. The shares trade for four times the consensus 2012 EPS estimate of 33 cents, among analysts polled by FactSet, and less than half their June 30 tangible book value of $3.14, according to SNL. Four out of five analysts covering Popular rate the shares a buy, while the remaining analyst has a neutral rating. Prev 7 of 11 Next

This invention relates, in general, to monitoring the oxygenation of personnel carried aboard a moving craft for purposes of early detection of hypoxia approaching loss of consciousness and thereupon enabling appropriate craft control intervention to avert harm to personnell or property. The invention has particular application under conditions when the craft is undergoing high gravational force stress (referred to as high-G stresses) and the pilot loses his control capabilities or consciousness and "blacks out".
In the case of a craft, such as high performance aircraft, control personnel such as the pilot or crew member are a limiting factor during flight. If cerebral dysfunction of such personnel were to occur and go undetected, the result could be catastrophic loss of life and/or property--not only involving the craft itself, but the surrounding environment should the craft go out of proper control. The extremely rapid performance characteristics of modern, high speed aircraft calls for almost instantaneous corrective control action to avert tragedy. Where a craft encounters hostile forces, temporary evasive action may be required of a degree accompanied by high-G stress where the pilot blacks out--temporarily. Here again almost instantaneous control action is required to conduct the desired evasive action. It may be desirable to have control either returned to the pilot following recovery from the black out, or the aircraft maneuvered to a desired status or destination.
Technology exists for monitoring selected characteristics of the human body in vivo. U.S. Pat. No. 4,281,645 describes embodiments of a device capable of "in vivo, in situ, non-invasive, atraumatic and continuous monitoring of three parameters of crucial significance related to organ metabolism' where "information on the state of circulatory adequacy and oxygen sufficiency are needed". Columns 11-14 of this patent describe details of the measurements of these metabolic parameters. Measurement of any one or any combination of these is useful in detecting pilot blackout and recovery from blackout. U.S. Pat. No. 4,380,240 issued to Frans F. Jobsis et al, there is described a spectrophotometric method directed to non-invasive, continuous, atraumatic, in vivo, in situ monitoring of metabolism in a body organ. It is generally known that metabolism and more particularly oxygen sufficiency and adequacy of utilization are parameters of fundamental importance in accessing the function of any body organ. This is made self-evident when one considers that the energy provision for tissue function is underwritten for better than 94 percent by oxidative reactions involving the reduction of O2 to H2 O. In the absence of sufficient oxygen, this process becomes impaired with a corresponding impairment in organ function. In instances of extensive oxygen deprivation, over a period of time the organ loses viability and as a result the individual often has the same fate.
Although all organs are adversely affected by oxygen insufficiency, perhaps the problem is most acute in the case of the brain because of its exquisite sensitivity with respect to oxygen demand and its complete dependence on oxidative metabolism for proper function and viability. For example, an absence of adequate oxygen delivery by blood to the brain for more than a dozen seconds produces dysfunction and an absence for longer than a few minutes spells irreversible damage. A less acute impairment of oxygen availiability leads to a gradual loss in brain function, expecially with respect to the higher centers of the cerebral cortex.
The NIROscope is a known monitoring device which has been shown to provide accurate and immediate feedback with regard to the adequacy of cellular oxygention in the cerebral cortex. This device employs a solid-state laser, in the near-infrared spectrum and demonstrates on a heart beat to heart beat basis the level of cerebral functions as measured by oxygenation of the cytachrome c-oxidase. This enzyme system is the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and catalyzes greater than 95% of cellular oxygen consumption. Monitoring this enzyme provides early and accurate detection of oxygen delivery dysfunction on a cellular level, and has been shown to provide remarkable capabilities to detect brain dysfunction.
This enzyme system exhibits an absorption band betwee 800 and 900 nm, which is in the near infra-red spectrum. This band disappears when the enzyme system becomes reduced. Skin and bone are relatively transparent in this spectral region, and therefor monochromatic, or dichromatic laser radiation can be directed through intact skin and bone, and reflectance as well as absorbance can be calculated. Light from the laser is captured at the transmitting apparatus, located away from the subject. The light is delivered to the subject in two or more transmitting "optrodes" applied to the base of the skull, temporal region or frontal region. A receiving optrode is placed 4 to 6 cm lateral to the transmitting optrode. Absorbance of light in this wavelength is attributable to the cytochrome c-oxidase system. These calculations are accomplished using the Beer-Lambert Law. Corrections can be made electronically for absorbance due to hemoglobin. In view of the fact that this prior art has been discussed extensively in the patent literature and publications, for example (see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,223,680, 4,281,645, 4,321,930, 4,380,240 and 4,510,938) such discussion will not be repeated here but the subject matter thereof is incorporated herein by reference. It is sufficient to state that a near infra-red oxygen sufficiency scope (NIRO-scope) exists and is employed to monitor the adequacy of oxygen delivery to brain tissue. Means are provided for securing to the brain, a light source housing and light detector housing used for monitoring metabolism.
In a preferred embodiment this apparatus is mounted on the pilots head under his helmet and the input and output signals are coupled by means of fiber optic cables to a light source and processing circuitry. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,510,938 issued to Frans F. Jobsis for a more detailed discussion of the considerations involved. It is sufficient for our purposes to state that this system or other similar sensing systems provide rapid detection of G-induced cerebral hypoxia, oxygen delivery hypoxia, or other pilot failure that would otherwise go undetected resulting in pilot/aircraft loss. Other less common problems such as pilot death, stroke, or injury due to foreign object damage would be detected. Non-high performance applications might include detection of hypoxia in high altitude transport due to oxygen failure or decompression.
Aircraft may be controlled manually or control may be transferred to an automatic control system in response to appropriate signals. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,337,163 describes an arrangement where control is immediately restored to the automatic flight control system whenever the pilot removes his hands from the manual control. Autopilots for maneuvering aircraft which can be locally or remotely engaged and disengaged for operation are known in the art.
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of this invention, there is provided a method and apparatus for controlling an aircraft piloted in a first manner by a human being and undergoing high gravitational forces comprising the steps of monitoring said human being to detect the appearance of a given level of intolerable level of cerebral hypoxia or blackout due to such forces,responding to said detected given level to replace controlling said aircraft piloted in said first manner by said human being to controlling said aircraft in a second manner without piloting by said human being, and returning control of said aircraft for piloting by said human being in response to the return of a given tolerable level of cerebral hypoxia or recovery from blackout due to such forces.
Accordingly, an object of this invention is to enable desirable aircraft maneuvering following pilot blackout due to high-G forces.
Another object of this invention is to override human pilot control of an aircraft during pilot blackout and to enable resumption of pilot control following blackout disappearance.
Another object of this invention is to replace human pilot control of an aircraft which is limited above a first level of gravitational forces to automatic control which is limited by a higher level of gravitational forces, and returning to human pilot control following return to below said first level of gravitational forces.
Another object of this invention is to sense the oxygenation level in a human pilots brain during aircraft flight and shifting between pilot control and automated, non pilot control as a function of said sensed oxygenation levels and a desired flight maneuver.
A further object of this invention is to provide for improved craft maneuvering in response to a sensing of an undesirable metabolic condition of the craft operator.
These as well as other objects and advantages of this invention will be better understood by careful study of the following detailed description of the presently preferred exemplary embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of one manner of attaching a metabolism monitor to a selected portion of the human body, e.g. the brain, and providing input and output coupling between the brain and signal processing circuitry for providing a control signal indicative of substantially continuous and rapid measure of local metabolic oxygen dependent activity;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the invention wherein a pilot may elect to enable an airborne automatic pilot to take over control of the plane in response to a sensed predetermined metabolic condition of the pilot. Alternatively the controller can alert a remote station (ground or other craft) to enable the automatic pilot. The autopilot issues control signals to cause the plane to execute an automatic preprogrammed or remote station controlled flight maneuver or pattern. The pilot is given the option of resuming control os the plane's flight upon returning from blackout.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a further embodiment of the invention wherein control of the aircraft is removed from the pilot in response to local or remote detection of hostile activity against the aircraft in order to execute evasion maneuvers accomplished at high-G stress where pilot black-out may or does occur. Control of the aircraft is returned to the pilot once the sensors detect cerebral oxygenation when G-induced hypoxia is over.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram useful in explaining the invention as shown in FIG. 2.
An exemplary embodiment of the metabolic sensor included in a pilot's helmet 1 is shown in FIG. 1. Here transmitting and receiving optrodes 2 are attached to the base of the skull of pilot 3 under his helmet 1. Fiberoptics cable 4 provides at least one measuring and one reference wavelengthof near infra red light from source 5 for application via an optrode 2 to the brain of the pilot. As mentioned in the previously referenced patents the frequency and coupling points to the brain are selected to indicate the absorption of the incident light, the extent of which is dependent upon a specific state of the metabolic, oxygen dependent activity of the selected brain portion. Light reflected directly back essentially from theselected point as well as light reflected and scattered from a point near the selected point to a second optrode are detected and returned by selected bundle of fibers in 4 to processor 5. The body mounted elements of FIG. 1 are used in association with near infra-red sources, timing, detecting and processing circuiting as well as measuring techniques described in the aforementioned patents, particularly U.S. Pat. No. 4,223,680. The output of processor 5 is a signal providing a substantiallycontinuous and rapid measure of metabolic activity of pilot 3, such as the level of cerebral oxygenation.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown one exemplary embodiment utilizing the control signals from 5 in the case where the pilot blacks out, as for example, because of high-G manuevers. Here, a blood oxygen delivery monitoring device, such as Niroscope 5, supplies a signal to black-out threshold detector 6. Detector 6 establishes a threshold signal level which when exceeded (indicating pilot black-out or serious or intolerable hypoxia) causes controller 8 via switch position 7a to engage automatic pilot 9. Automatic pilot 9 responds to controller 8 to issue control signals to the planes control mechanism 10 to cause the plane to execute an automatic programmed control of the planes flight. The particular programmed flight control can be selected by means of a selector depicted by arrow 8A. This could involve automatically taking the pilot to a safer altitude and/or attitute or other remedial course. Autopilots exist which can control an airplanes movements through a series of programmable, executed maneuevers with time. The programming is indicated by the arrow 8A. If it is necessary that the pilot avoid piloting the craft while fighing for consciousness on the threshold of blackout, controller 8 supplies a signal to Gate 11 which prohibits pilot control of control mechanism 10 until pilot consciousness is detected by controller 8. In this event, controller 8 signals the pilot by means of 12 that he has undergone a blackout. A blackout could have occurred without the pilots awareness. Device 12 may comprise a light or audible sound or other sensory indication to the pilot. To further insure that the pilot is fullycapable of operating the aircraft, a psychomotor test circuit 13 is provided. This could simply involve pilot pressing of a series of buttons in the proper sequence to acknowledge pilot capability to controller 8. Controller 8 responds to a signal from 7 indicating that the pilot has recovered from serious hypoxia or blackout and an acceptability check by pilot operated psychomotor check 13 to open or unblock gate 11 permitting the pilot to resume aircraft flight control and to terminate control by autopilot 9.
If switch 7 is closed to the 7b position the blackout or non-blackout output signals are fed directly via controller 8 to Telemetry Device 14 (such as radio) for relaying to a remote location control 15 such as an aircraft ground controlled station or a second aircraft. Control 15 can then elect to send signals via Telemetry 14 back to controller 8 to disable pilot control by blocking gate 11 and controlling autopilot 9 to enable the execution of a predetermined or desired maneuver as previously described. Telemetry device 14 can select or modify the flight controllingsignals in accordance with instructions from 15 as indicated by the dashed connection 16 to control 8A. Where in flight myocardial infarcation, coma or death occurs, a ground based operator is notified through telemetry andthe aircraft may be controlled to an area where landing or destruction of the aircraft can be accomplished with minimum risk to other humans or property.
FIG. 3 illustrates a further embodiment in which switch 20 in the position "a" shown permits an airborne surface missile detector 21 to enable controller 8 to initiate an evasive maneuver. For example, should an aircraft encounter a hostile force, the detector 14 aboard the aircraft orat an airborne AWAC control would, for example, detect the launching of surface to air missiles and initiate the evasive action. Alternatively, with the switch 20 in position b, the detector 14 would alert the pilot over coupling 22 to initiate the evasive maneuver. Also, in position 20c, detector 23 at a remote location, such as an AWACS aircraft or a ground station--upon detecting hostile action--could initiate evasive action through telemetry 24, such as radio, via controller 8. The selection of which mode of operation is desired can be established by a programmed priority selector 25 mounted on the aircraft which establishes priority among control by 21, 3 or 23 in accordance with a pilot control 26. If theaircraft is involved in a low altitude ground support mission, surface to air missile detection by 21 may be selected as first priority for controlling the evasive action, pilot control second and AWACS control third. If the aircraft is in reconnaissance mode, 23 may be selected to befirst priority and 3 or 24 the second or third priority. If air to air combat is involved with the pilot being attacked by multiple sources, then3 may become first priority and 23 the second priority. The maneuver or automatic evasion program triggered by 21, 3 or 23 enables the autopilot to respond to the selected program to take over control and accomplish evasion at high G-stress where the pilot may black out. Where a hostile force is not so equipped or capable, it is therefore unable to pursue or can be destroyed. In response to pilot blackout, controller 8 responds to the blackout signal from 6, as previously described, to block gate 11. After the evasive maneuver is executed, control of the aircraft may be returned to the pilot once the NIROSCOPE 5 signals cerebral oxygenation when serious G-induced hypoxia is over. Thus, following the execution of the maneuver or automatic evasion at high G-stress, and pilot monitoring by 5 indicates recovery from serious hypoxia or blackout, and an acceptability check by pilot operated device 13, controller 8 unblocks gate 11 permitting the pilot to resume aircraft flight control and terminates autopilot control.
The controller 8 which controls the operation of the Electronic Autopilot is in the exemplary embodiment a microprocessor based device. Insofar as the present invention is concerned, the microprocessor may be of conventional design except for the programmable flight control function which may be embodied in a suitable computer program of the type depicted in the flow chart of FIG. 4. As will be appreciated the controller 8 may be embodied as a separate sub-routine or embodied directly within other automatic pilot control program routines. Entry to the controller functionoccurs as a result of an interrupt signal or the like which may occur upon the receipt of a blackout signal from 6. In the absence of a blackout signal from 6, the controller 8 is in a first state. The sensory blackout signal device 12, which may be a colored light, is normally turned off, and the Gate 11 is in a first or unblocked state permitting pilot 3 to operate the plane flight control mechanism 10 manually. Upon receipt of a blackout signal from 6, controller 8 is activated to a second state, signal device 12 is set or turned on and gate 11 is set to a second state or blocked, thereby preventing the pilot 3 from operating the plane. In this second state, controller 8 controls Autopilot 9 in accordance with the preprogrammed flight pattern the pilot previously selected by 8A. Thiscould involve automatically taking the pilot to a safer altitude and/or attitude, etc.
Upon recovery from blackout, a non-blackout signal causes controller 8 to return to its first state. In this state, controller 8 verifies the pilotsmetabolic condition by checking his passing the psychomotor test. If passed, controller 8 unblocks gate 11 permitting pilot manual control of the aircraft and terminates the autopilot control. The pilot resets the blackout signal manually upon resuming control.
The flow diagram for the embodiment of FIG. 3 would be similar to that shown in FIG. 4 except for controller 8 having additional inputs corresponding to the different scenarios represented by switch positions of 20 selected by selector 26 to execute selective preprogrammed or remotecontrolled programmed, evasive action drive of the auto pilot. Upon completion of the evasive action, the pilot could resume control of the craft provided he was free of serious hypoxia or blackout as demonstrated by the signal from 6 and verified by the signal from 13.
Although only one exemplary embodiment of the invention has been described in detail, those skilled in the art will recognize that many modificationsand variations may be made in this embodiment while yet retaining many of the novel features and advantages of this invention. For example, while the exemplary embodiment of the invention has been described in terms of aircraft application--the invention may be applied to other situations such as decompression induced hypoxia, oxygen delivered failure induced hypoxia, etc. involving diving craft, fire fighting equipment, etc. Accordingly, all such variations and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

CustomerThink: Should #CX Professionals Care About the Four Moments of Truth?
By Annette Franz Gleneicki, CustomerThink (Excerpt) Last year, I wrote about moments of truth, defining them as: that make or break moment in the customer journey, that moment when, if all goes well, the customer will continue the journey and complete the task or interaction; he will do (or continue to do) business with you. If things go awry, he will not complete the interaction and will go elsewhere. I recently read Brian Solis' latest book, X: The Experience When Business Meets Design….

Historical Traveler Reviews Villas Marlin Cancun
Bait and Switch !
Please do not stay at these condos. We booked what seemed a great condo on the internet, even saw beautiful photos of condo. Once we got ton Villas marlin, we got the SHAFT.... The supposed condo we wanted was not available as the the owner was sick and was selling her condo. JUve attempted to give us something else...well let me tell you this other condo was garbage. He said nothing else was available nothing he could do.. I guesss this would explain why he was not answering my emails for 2 weeks. Needless to say we had to go around Cancun searching for other condos, with 2 children and luggage.
Therefore, don't even bother with this condo complex, not worth the headaches
A wonderful place to stay
Villas Marlin is wonderful. I was very skeptical about staying there because of the horror stories that I had heard about Mexico in general. I am only 19 but loved the stay. I didn't find it to be a party hotel. We did our partying elsewhere. Everyone that worked at the hotel was very friendly. The only people that I ran into that I had a hard time communicating with were the housekeepers and the security guards. That was my fault though, I didn't speak spanish in a country where that is their language. The beaches behind the hotel are beautiful. The pool with the swim up bar was the only one we went to and we all enjoyed it. No toys are allowed in the pool so it made for it so be very quiet and relaxing. NO ONE is allowed on the premisses unless they are staying at the hotel, which is very comforting. A group of people we were there with were staying over at a different place. When they came to visit us the guards had told them that they could not come in because "the girls had left." Two of us had, and two of us were still there but it was reassuring to know they weren't letting them in.
The condo itself was great. There were only four of us and we were in a two bedroom condo. It was perfect. Bottled water was brought to our room whenever we needed it.
We went to the main office whenever we needed anything. One of the people working there ordered a pizza for us because we didn't speak spanish.
I would reccommend Villas Marlin to anyone. This includes Grandparents, and parents. This is a great place to stay for people of all ages.
Be warned!
Be careful when considering a stay at the Villas Marlin Condos. They ask for 100 percent payment in advance! When I asked the agent to guarantee that we would be staying in the exact condo as shown in the listing, she advised me to book somewhere else! This does not sound like an honest way to do business, so be careful.
Some owners ask you payment in advance
if you take to much time to decide some one else may book the condo and these was not your case. this person was not happy because we did not accept the way they wanted to pay us. thats all about.
Stay somewhere else....
Unless you are traveling with a larger group, I wouldn`t recommend staying at Villas Marlin. The condo we stayed in was in ok shape. We rented through an individual owner and they had taken very good care of their property. My only real complaint was the "ocean front view" which was very much blocked by a large air conditioning unit on the roof. We could see the ocean, which is better than nothing.
The facility was a real problem. Somewhat run-down and basically deserted. October in Cancun is the extreme off-season (no one had really mentioned to us before we went exactly how empty Cancun would be). Businesses were not closed down or anything, but it did not bode well for Villas Marlin. There was no one around, we never found any type of front desk and the pool bar was a joke- closed and didn't look like it was opening up any time soon. We found the place to be sort of depressing and not vacation-like at all.
We moved to the Le Meridien 3 days later. After experiencing 2 different housing options in Cancun, and being someone who stays in hotels all the time, in no way can I recommend Villas Marlin. I would strongly urge anyone looking for accomodations in Cancun to look at something else.
P.S. It was not much more expensive to stay in a wonderful, luxury hotel in Cancun- at least in October.
Just came back from a one week stay (10/01)
two bedroom with a beautiful ocean view. Villas Marlin was very centralized within the hotel zone.
We had one of the swimming pools all to our selves for three days.The ocean is just in front with a private lifegard. We also saw security guards 24hrs walking around the gated premises.
We did not use their services for any of our tours.
Overall this is a great condo resort to stay in.
P.S. go to Walmart to stock up on your groceries.
Villas Marlin ROCKS!!
I just returned last week from an amazing vacation in Cancun (10/04). Villa's Marlin was a great condo for my group of 10 friends. We had a large, 2 story, 4 bedroom, 3 bath condo with a great deck and view of the ocean. The location was awesome and the condo was very roomy, even with our large party. There are 2 pools located right next to the ocean and the beaches were BEAUTIFUL. We went in the low season and basically had the place and beach to ourselves and loved it!!
Campers only
If you like the outdoor rustic life and enjoy camping in tents than this is the place for you. Otherwise it is, very disappointing, the place is small, run down, tired, noisy without hot water and air conditioning.
A 2 bedroom unit has a bed in the kitchen, very misleading. Two baths means 2 doors for the same bathroom, again very misleading.
Book at your own risk...stay away from this one.
Beautiful Condo, Great Service
The penthouse we rented was all that was stated in add on (---). When we walked in the view was breathtaking, and the furnishings were not your "typical" rental garbage. We also found having the onsite agent, a real plus, when we needed help booking an excursion. They went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. I can't wait to go back next year! Because there are a lot of questionable properties, here's the one we rented. (---)
We Booked Our Stay At VILLAS MARLIN Through OWNERS DIRECT Back in SEPT 03 The Condo We Booked Was Supposed To Be A 2 Bedroom Penthouse CONDO With 4 DoubleBeds and 2 Single Beds, Nicely Decorated With all the Comforts Of Home.. Sounds Great Huh.. Well when we arrived Thats Not What We Got.. After Receiving Our Condo Key, And Left To find it On Our Own, Which Took About 45 min .We Opened The Door And Guess What We got A Run Down 2 Bedroom ( 1 Kingbed 2 Twin Beds).. HUMM..( How Do You Sleep 6 PEOPLE ?) I Went Back To The Office And Said There Must be A Mistake With My Reservation, That The Condo They Gave Me Was Not what I had Booked Way Back In SEPT. And Of Course The Manager was no where to be found.. And no Other Condos Where Available.. The Final Resolution after one hour of discussion Was To Get Two Extra Mattresses And Place Them on the already Overcrowed Floor.. CANCUN Is A Great Place To Visit, and We Had A Great Time, But We Will stay somewhere else next time..
Villas Marlin a catch and release!
We arrived on a late flight to Cancun. We had phoned to condo earlier to inform then and were told that someone would be there to let us in. Well, no one was there and finally (the cab driver) was able to get a phone number of someone to contact. We got into our room at 1:00am. There were 8 people in our party. The condo had only 4 towels, no washclothes, no soap and as for the gourmet kitchen...it didn't exist. We were lucky enough to have 5 spoons and 4 bowls for some cereal in the morning. Thank God there was a Wal-mart within a 15 minute bus ride for needed supplies!The condo boasts a swimup bar and on site restaurant. The first two days, neither existed. The bar did open up on day 3 for 2 hours and we took advantage of that. The restaurant was not in operation...ever!Also, the tour service at the condo is not recommended. We paid $200 US for an all day excursion to the ruins and Xeh ha. The ride was over 8 hours and we got lost 3 times. It was a disaster!I can not recommend this facility to anyone. We will not be back!
nobody could not make it, unless you rent a private air plane.

Obama Announces Plan to Ease Student Debt Burden
The College Board today released its annual reports, Trends in College Pricing and Trends in Student Aid, which found tuition and fees continuing to rise on campuses around the country, most significantly at public institutions dealing with sharp declines in state funding.
For the fifth consecutive year, the percentage increase in average tuition and fees at public four-year institutions was higher than the percentage increase at private, nonprofit institutions.
California's 2011-12 tuition and fee increases of 21 percent at public four-year universities and 37 percent at public two-year colleges raised the national averages markedly, the report's authors point out. The increase for the public four-year sector was 7.0 percent excluding California, and 8.3 percent including it. (See The Los Angeles Times for more on this point.)
"To see increases of 20 percent, as we saw in California, to see gains of 15 percent in other states, is simply unprecedented," ACE Senior Vice President Terry Hartle told the Associated Press. "Tuition is simply being used as a revenue substitute in many states."
In a statement released this morning, ACE President Molly Corbett Broad highlighted the roll of both state and federal policy in setting tuition.
"It is particularly troubling to see that over the past decade, state funding at colleges and universities has fallen 23 percent per student after inflation," said Broad. "That number shows it has become all too common for state legislatures to dip into the pockets of students and families to balance state budgets, leaving public institutions between a rock and a hard place when setting tuition rates."
However, she continued, "It is equally clear that federal student aid and tax benefits are of paramount importance. This year, 46 percent of all grant aid for millions of students across the country came from the federal government, which clearly illustrates how serious congressional cuts to these programs would be."
Also in the news is President Obama's proposal to ease student loan repayments for some students, which he announced today at the University of Colorado's downtown Denver campus.
Under the plan, federal student loan repayments for some borrowers would be capped at 10 percent of discretionary income starting in January 2012, two years before the cap was due to take effect under federal law. All remaining debt on their federal loans would be forgiven after 20 years, five years earlier than under current law.
In addition, some borrowers would be able to consolidate loans taken out under the old Federal Family Education Loan Program, when banks issued federal student loans and collected government subsidies, with loans from the government's Direct Loan Program. The consolidated Direct Loan would give students a half-a-percentage point interest rate reduction.
A negotiated rulemaking session will be required to make these changes, an announcement of which is expected on Friday. As Inside Higher Ed points out this morning, Republicans are already questioning the administration's authority to enact the plan.

Thirty teams, 30 burning fantasy questions. Throughout the preseason, we put one of these questions to an ESPN.com analyst for an in-depth look at the most interesting, perplexing or dumbfounding fantasy facet of each major league team.
What, exactly, can we make of Joba Chamberlain?
Not in a very long time have we been presented with a pitcher like this, who spawns so much buzz, so much controversy and so many questions:
• What should Joba's role be this year?
• What about the year after that, and the year after that, etc.?
• Will and should Joba have his innings capped in 2009?
• What about a strict, per-start pitch count?
• Will Joba stay healthy regardless of restrictions?
• Which Pepsi does Joba prefer, Diet, Max, Vanilla, Wild Cherry, Lemon, Lime or just plain ol' well plain?
Unfortunately -- and as a person who has witnessed almost every inning ever logged in Joba Chamberlain's big league career I can attest this statement's truth -- the answer to every one of those questions is absolutely fantasy-relevant.
The problem is that in addressing every one of those questions, you're only feeding into the frenzy that is the grand, overall Joba Chamberlain question.
So let me try to answer the Joba Chamberlain question with some broad, general statements, before we get into specifics: He's a very special pitcher. He's going to be a very special pitcher for a long, long time. I prefer to see him groomed for a career in relief work. But he will be groomed as a starter.
What should Joba's role be this year?
Again, there's a clear deviation between what I -- and others -- think Joba's 2009 role should be. I think he should be a reliever. Those who don't reside on that bandwagon with me think it's a foolish proposition to pigeonhole a talent like this into a 60-inning window each year, as opposed to maximizing his potential with 200 frames.
To those critics, I point out that we have no concrete evidence that Chamberlain could hold up to pitching 200-plus innings per year consistently. He might be another Kerry Wood or Rich Harden in that role. Who's to assume he's the next Roger Clemens? In addition, there's nothing to say we have to limit Joba the reliever to 60 frames. He could pitch 75 per year, and could be deployed at any point in any game for any length outing, maximizing his impact out of the bullpen. As a starter, he'd throw once every five nights, without much freedom to tinker with his role and put him into high-leverage contests.
The Yankees have the rotation depth to afford to keep Chamberlain in the bullpen, at least for this season. Phil Hughes, who once was considered the top pitching prospect in all of baseball, is now sixth on the team's starting-pitching depth chart (and was recently sent back to the minors) despite a 2.19 spring ERA. That's when you know you're deep. And that doesn't even address alternative options like Alfredo Aceves or Ian Kennedy, or even swingman Brett Tomko.
Nevertheless, no matter what you think Chamberlain's role should be in 2009, the answer is that it is going to be starting pitcher. The Yankees have made their intentions crystal clear, and that he has made all four of his spring appearances as a starter cements that.
What about future years?
My personal stance on Chamberlain's future role remains unchanged, and in fact, probably becomes increasingly stilted toward having him be a reliever, what with current Yankees closer Mariano Rivera set to turn 40 years old next November. Not that I'd suggest the Yankees could ever literally "replace" Rivera's production, but who from their current bullpen could one day serve as his successor, Jose Veras? Puh-leeeeze.
That's why it's curious that the Yankees, according to a recent report in the New York Post, regard Chamberlain as their fallback option at closer should anything happen to Rivera this season. In other words, if you're a Rivera owner who feels a need for a handcuff, neither Veras, nor Damaso Marte, nor any other Yankees reliever should be your choice your pick should actually be Chamberlain himself!
Will and should Joba have his innings capped?
There have been numerous studies of the impact of a significant innings boost from season to season on a pitcher's arm, and that Chamberlain battled some health problems that limited him to 100 1/3 frames in 2008 means that, yes, he probably should be capped. The Yankees have suggested privately that cap will come at 150 innings in 2009, a somewhat conservative number but one that probably isn't significantly off what it should be.
The problem, though, is that if what manager Joe Girardi told The New York Times is true -- that Chamberlain will make 30 starts in 2009 and will not be skipped on off days for so long as he is healthy -- there's no conceivable way the Yankees will be able to limit Joba to 150 innings. For one thing, baseball history is not on their side:
• In 2008, the MLB average was 5.81 innings pitched per start, which would project to more than 174 innings over a 30-start season.
• No pitcher has made 30 starts in a season and thrown fewer than the 154 innings that Tony Armas Jr. did in 2006. Only 76 pitchers all-time have made 30 or more starts in a season and thrown fewer than 175 innings.
• The most starts any pitcher has ever made in a season without surpassing 150 innings was 28, by Kyle Davies (2007), Bob Wolcott (1996), Sean Bergman (1995), Preston Hanna (1978) and Pete Redfern (1977). They all had losing records and five-plus ERAs.
In no way does Joba Chamberlain belong in the same sentence as Kyle Davies, not to mention his Yankees are far more likely to advance to the postseason than Davies' Royals. The prospect of October baseball puts his workload even more under the microscope, and the fact he's one of the talents most critical toward getting them to October makes him someone the team isn't going to want to put a leash on late in the year.
More likely, the Yankees will give Chamberlain -- health willing -- his 30 turns, and look the other direction when he breezes past the 150-inning limit, perhaps approaching or exceeding 180. Then, probably only depending upon the team's standing, will they consider shutting him down for 2009.
What about a strict pitch count?
Ah, an easy one (relatively speaking, of course).
If the Yankees are serious about that 30-start, 150-inning cap for Chamberlain in 2009, then without a doubt they'll have to have him on a strict pitch count. For his career he has averaged 16.6 pitches per inning, and if you extract only his average in games started, it's 17.4. If he is to pitch 150 innings over 30 starts, he'd have to average five frames per turn, and multiplying that by his pitch efficiency puts him at a pitch count of about 87.
That's yet another reason why I see no chance that, given 30 starts, Chamberlain will be limited to only 150 innings pitched. Even if he's on a strict pitch count of 100 per start, by his career performance to date he'd average 5.75 innings per turn, which equates to more than 172 innings spread over 30 starts.
Will Joba stay healthy?
Here's the area I see being most likely to rein in his number of innings pitched. It can't be glazed over that he spent nearly a month on the disabled list late last season with a rotator-cuff strain, not at all the kind of thing you want to see in a pitcher. Chamberlain also dealt with triceps tendinitis in college in 2006, and many scouts were troubled by his weight at the time, factors that need be considered in evaluating the overall package.
Of course, that Chamberlain began 2008 as a reliever before being ramped up into a starter's role over a one-month period in May might not have done him any favors in the health department. As a result he fell short of the Yankees' expectations for his innings total, which is the very reason they're suggesting a conservative approach to it this season.
It might also portend future health issues for Chamberlain, who will be hailed a prime DL candidate until such point he proves himself capable of a full, uninterrupted 200-inning season at the big league level. Count me among one of the many who believe that if Joba is to start all year yet be capped at 150 innings, the only reason it'll happen is because he made another trip to the disabled list.
Which Pepsi does Joba prefer?
What they do care about, however, is the upshot of all this, how it pertains to his 2009 fantasy value. Chamberlain is currently being selected 25th, on average, among starting pitchers, right behind the aforementioned Harden, a fairly comparable risk/reward candidate.
But there's a difference between the two: We know Harden is injury-prone. Since Chamberlain has yet to complete a full season in a big league rotation, do we have any right to label him as such? He has, after all, made just one trip to the DL in his two professional seasons, and has thrown 100-plus innings in each of them, not bad for a 23-year-old. Harden, by comparison, has thrown 100 innings in only one of the past three years.
Chamberlain has a 2.76 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and an 11.71 strikeouts-per-nine innings ratio in his 12 career starts. Harden has a 3.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and an 8.95 K/9 ratio in his 101. Harden might be the riskiest member of the top 25 starters. But he probably belongs there, accounting for his performance thus far and future potential.
I'm not saying Chamberlain is any guarantee to stay healthy all year, or that if he does, that it might not jeopardize his chances at avoiding a Harden- or Kerry Wood-like future career. But I like that the Yankees made a firm commitment to his role at the onset of spring training, and to this date appear ready to stand by it by hell or high water.
It's that commitment, and the upside it presents, that actually has me pretty confident in Chamberlain in 2009. Again, he's a special talent, and at 23, if he can just be lucky enough to stay on the mound all year, Chamberlain has the potential to put forth a very special season. Think top-10 starter potential at a No. 25 overall starter's price.

Re: Alarm Clock is no longer dependable.
Sorry to bump an older thread but I have this same problem. I'm running a custom ROM, but this problem persists over several ROMs. The stock android alarm will stop responding. I'll wake up with the phone quiet and screen turned off. I'll turn it on and have a window that says "Alarm is not responding. Wait or close" then when I close it, the alarm goes off. After that, even the snooze works. It will go off 10 minutes later. I also have tried Alarm Clock Plus, and the same thing is happening.
With ACP I have the little alarm clock figure in the task bar. It's the last thing I do with my phone before bed, so the JB task killer doesn't affect it. I've tried using a standard alarm and just turning it on every night, as well as having a repeating alarm (M-F @ 730am). Both do the same thing. But the weird thing is if I set another alarm to test it, and set it for maybe 5 minutes later, it will work. I've tried clearing data from ACP as well as the stock app, manually removing my alarms and recreating them, etc. Nothing seems to work!

Pikkas Peruvian Cuisine & Pisco Bar
Three-Course Dinner for Two People with One Appetizer, Two Soups or Salads, and Two Entrées
91% recommendedin LivingSocial customer ratings
You'd think that the sister restaurant to Taita in Capitol Hill would be envious of its sibling's Best New Restaurant nod from Westword, but with 5280's in-the-know editors simply saying, "go now," of Pikkas, that's far from the case:
• $39 ($86 value) for a three-course dinner for two people
• Start with an appetizer like the fresh, lime-infused ceviche classico
• Then, enjoy two soups or salads, and any two entrées on the menu
"Our first experience with Peruvian cuisine and it was great! It was our 36th anniversary and my wife loved it. The chef's dressing and marinades were unique, light and tasteful. If they offered them for sale, we would have bought several bottles." - OpenTable Reviewer
South American Flavor in Cherry Creek North
Chef Joseph "Pepito" Aparicio's penchant for fresh, seasonal ingredients is on full display at this warmly decorated restaurant. Seafood -- a staple of a country with around 1,500 miles of coastline -- logically plays a central role on this menu, which you'll discover as you browse shared appetizers of grilled octopus, delicate ceviche, flavorful scallops, or one of the other eye-catching options. Your choice of two soups -- like the lentil or seafood consommé -- or house salads with chef Pepito's secret dressing follows your appetizer, and precedes your main courses, which cover both land and sea. Go for the hearty lomo saltado -- a spice-rubbed filet mignon that is the national dish of Peru -- or try ravioli stuffed with chopped shrimp, ricotta portobellos, called "luxurious" by Zagat.

Customer Reviews
Nice "expensive" Concept
This app is useful. it is basically a reminder with a 21 day tracker. for the capability to add additional reminders the developer is charging an additional $20 and that is just insane! No one in their right mind will pay $20 dollars for that.
You have to pay and pay again
It's a nice tracker but after you purchase it you can only start 1 habit. Then have to upgrade to pro for unlimited restarts, to start a new habit, to add more habits so it's just not worth it. The pro is outrageously expensive.
Pricing is absurd
$22 for full version? For a habit streak app.
