POINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J. — A week after Superstorm Sandy pummeled the East Coast, wiping out entire communities, residents were bracing for yet another potentially damaging storm.
A nor'easter taking shape Monday in the Gulf of Mexico was expected to begin its march up the coast, eventually passing within 50 to 100 miles of the wounded New Jersey coastline on Wednesday. The storm was expected to bring winds of up to 55 mph, coastal flooding, up to 2 inches of rain along the shore, and several inches of snow to Pennsylvania and New York.
One of the biggest fears was that the storm could bring renewed flooding to parts of the shore where Sandy wiped out natural beach defenses and protective dunes.
"It's going to impact areas many areas that were devastated by Sandy. It will not be good," said Bruce Terry, the lead forecaster for the National Weather Service.
Some communities were considering again evacuating neighborhoods that were hard hit by Sandy and where residents had only recently been allowed to return. No town had made a final decision to do so as of mid-afternoon Monday.
In Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., Laura DiPasquale was frantically going through dozens of black plastic trash bags that volunteers had stuffed full of her household belongings and brought to the curb, trying to make sure nothing she intended to keep had gotten tossed out with debris like waterlogged drywall. Already, she had found treasured Christmas ornaments amid the detritus.
"I don't know where anything is; I can't even find my checkbook," she said. "I have no idea what's in any of these bags. And now another storm is coming and I feel enormous pressure. I don't know if I can do this again. It is so overwhelming."
People were advising DiPasquale to just let go of most of the stuff in the bags.
"I found an ornament that says 'Baby's First Christmas.' People said, 'Laura, you don't need that,'" she said. "Yes, I do need that. I'll wash it, or I'll sanitize it, or I'll boil it if I have to. Money means nothing to me. Sentimental stuff is everything."
The new storm was expected to move up the coast Tuesday, past Georgia and South Carolina. By Wednesday morning, it was expected to be off Virginia or Cape Hatteras, N.C.
Terry said the storm could slow down somewhat once it gets off the New Jersey coast, meaning its effects could linger. They include rain, high winds and tidal surges, although less than those that accompanied Sandy.
Marilyn Skillender was picking through the pile of her belongings at the curb of her home about two blocks from the ocean in Point Pleasant Beach, worrying about the next storm. She instantly flashed back to a December 1992 nor'easter that pummeled the Jersey shore over two days with widespread flooding and property damage. Her house was inundated in that storm, too.
"Our defenses are down now," she said. "As bad as last week was, if we get new damage, where are they gonna put all the new stuff that's wrecked? If this debris starts floating around, how will we be able to move? All that sand they plowed away, if it comes back again, I don't even want to think about it."
Jim Mauro was one of the few professing not to be overly concerned about the impending nor'easter. A house he owned in Mantoloking was literally wiped off the map by Sandy last week. It wound up in Barnegat Bay.
"What more can it do?" he asked. "I mean, the house is literally gone, right down to the bare sand where it used to be."

Campus jobs are in high demand. To provide the greatest number of students with an opportunity to work on campus, all employed students—Federal Work Study (FWS) and regular pay—will be eligible to earn up to $1,150 per term, which averages out to approximately nine hours per week for the full term. Positions on campus are for one term only. Below, find out how to apply for available on-campus positions or what to do if you'd like to work off campus. Still have questions? Contact the Field Work Term and Career Development Office (FWT & CDO) in Barn 112, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or at 802-440-4321 (x4321 on campus).
Available campus positions will start to be posted on WorkLink just prior to or at the start of each term. New students entering in the fall who are Federal Work Study (FWS) recipients or international students with campus employment as part of their financial-aid package will be emailed WorkLink account information in early August to allow priority in the application process. New students without campus employment as part of their financial aid package and/or who enter in the spring term will be emailed WorkLink account information at the start of each term. Students who wait to apply to a job or who only apply to one are less likely to secure a position. Log in and from the homepage go to the "Job Listings" shortcut and select "Campus Jobs." Just click on the title of any job you are interested in to learn more about an available position.
Go to the Document Library of WorkLink and complete the "Student Employment Application." You will need to complete a new application each academic year even if you worked on campus in the past. Also, be sure to review the Terms and Conditions of Employment, as you'll sign off on these terms a bit further along in the process.
Upload the completed application to the "Your Documents" section of WorkLink and use this to apply online to any campus jobs listed on WorkLink. Note that most position applications require other information, such as a résumé, to assess your skills and experience. In the "Your Documents" section, upload your resume as a "Résumé" and your application as a "Student Employment Application." Need help with this? Stop by or call the FWT & CDO at x4321 (off campus 802-440-4321).
An employment coordinator or supervisor in the department to which you are applying will be in touch with you and may want to set up an interview if interested in your application. It's a good idea to follow up with individual offices after you have applied, to inquire about your application status if you do not hear from someone within a week.
If you are hired, congratulations! Now, you'll need to complete two federal forms before you can start work. Students can go to the Financial Aid Office (Barn 104) to process this paperwork. New students entering in the fall can also bring your paperwork to the Financial Aid/Student Employment table at Orientation. International students who have additional questions can check in with Kate Child in Academic Advising who is the Primary Designated Official for International Students.
Successful processing of your I9 and W4 will allow you to submit your timesheets online and collect wages. The first time you log in, you will be prompted to agree to the College's Terms and Conditions of Employment before you are able to complete your timesheet. You can record your hours throughout the week and save the form each time, but note that timesheets will not be processed for payment until you submit them. Those of you interested in direct deposit can fill out the Direct Deposit Form and submit this directly to the Business Office.
Consider applying for more than one job. You may not be hired for the position that's your first choice, particularly in your first term at Bennington. A portion of fall on-campus positions are reserved for first-year students with priority given to Federal Work Study (FWS) recipients and international students with campus employment aid allotment. However, any of these jobs that go unfilled by the end of the first week of term due to a lack of first-year applicants will be made available to all students. First-year students are encouraged to apply for on-campus jobs as soon as you receive your WorkLink account information. Check WorkLink regularly as a job you want may open up later or in another term. Please note that due to an undetermined number of campus positions, you are not guaranteed a job, even if you have been awarded Federal Work Study. Additionally, fewer student positions are available in the spring and as such, a fall term positions does not guarantee a spring term job.
Yes, however, students may not earn more than $1,150 per term from all campus jobs combined. For each separate job you take, your supervisor or employment coordinator must complete a digital Payroll Authorization Form, which establishes that you've been hired by that department.
All students will be paid at an hourly rate of $9.60.
Some jobs require an equal number of hours each week; others may be short term, or vary according to the workload. Students work an average of 5–6 hours per week in a term; however you may work up to an average of nine hours per week and cannot earn more than $1,150 per term for on-campus work. Students can never exceed 20 hours in a single week during the academic terms; however, during summer and over Field Work Term, students may work up to 40 hours per week in on-campus jobs.
As you work during the term, complete your online timesheets showing the hours you have worked during the current (usually two-week) pay period. Make sure to click submit on your timesheet(s) by the payroll deadline. A payroll schedule is sent to student mailboxes at the beginning of term.
Your paycheck is sent to your College mailbox or you may have your check direct deposited in your bank account.
Yes, however, only students with FWS in their financial aid awards are eligible for jobs paid on the FWS payroll. Job postings may clarify if a position is restricted to FWS recipients. All other students can be paid through the non-FWS payroll known as "regular pay."
FWS funds are not available during FWT. FWS students can work on campus over FWT, but you will be paid as a regular-pay employee. The money you make over FWT in an on-campus job will not count towards your FWS allotment.
Yes. Student earnings, including FWS earnings, are considered earned income and are therefore subject to all applicable taxes.
Students who wish to supplement their campus earnings or who are not working on campus but wish to have a job are welcome to seek employment in and around Bennington. (International students see International Student Advisor Kate Child in Academic Services to discuss your specific situation.) Local businesses that have posted a position with the College can be found on WorkLink under the "Off campus-Local to Bennington" shortcut. Additionally, The FWT & CDO has a list of local businesses and their contact information in the Document Library of WorkLink under "Bennington Businesses" for those students who wish to proactively reach out to local employers and inquire about potential employment opportunities. There are also a few local off campus organizations that do offer FWS-eligible positions. Because they are FWS-eligible, they will be listed on WorkLink under "Campus Jobs" even though they are off site.
The Bennington Card is the official identification card of Bennington College. Issued to all members of the College community, it is required for identification, access to essential campus services and residential houses, and offers a convenient prepaid spending account for making cashless purchases around campus. To access your account or add funds, go to the cardholder account center.
There are no costs to add value to or use the Bennington Card account. Account balances on your card roll over from term to term and year to year, and can be refunded when you leave the College. If your Bennington Card is lost or stolen, your account can be immediately suspended and any balances are automatically transferred to your replacement card. You have 24/7 access to a secure online account center to add value, review transactions, and more.
To add funds to your declining balance or to create an online account go to bennington.campuscardcenter.com (you will need the account numbers printed on your ID card). As a student you can establish a guest user account for your parents. Anyone can add value with a debit or credit card by using our "Quick Add Value" option; all that is needed is your five-digit student ID number and last name.
If you prefer to add funds by check, send a check made payable to Bennington College to:
Bennington College
ATTN: Bookstore
One College Drive
Bennington, VT 05201
Please write "Bennington Card" and your five-digit Student ID number in the memo line, and mail as soon as possible to ensure funds will be ready for the start of the term.
Questions? Contact a Bennington Card Service Center representative at 877-505-3007.

Very Vanilla Banana Bread
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 50 mins
This recipe was adopted from an old cookbook called "Texas Cookin" and is unlike any banana bread recipe I have ever tried. It is hands down the best banana bread and I wouldn't think of making another recipe. Just try it and you will see. The bread comes out in a perfect loaf, with a streusel like top and bottom that is so scrumptious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup chopped pecans
- 1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the initial 2 tablespoons of butter and next three ingredients; mix with fork until crumbly. Set aside.
- Cream the 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar in bowl until light and fluffy (about 8-10 minutes).
- In separate bowl blend eggs with bananas sour cream and 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
- Gradually add this mixture to creamed butter and sugar and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Stir into banana mixture until just blended.
- Sprinkle half of the pecan mixture over bottom of greased loaf pan.
- Add batter; sprinkle remaining pecan mixture over top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
- Remove to wire rack to cool.
Most Helpful
So I had good luck with this delicious banana bread. From reading the other review I sprinkled the top layer of streusel in a neat line down the center of the loaf-It looked and worked fabulously. I really appreciate you posting this recipe-I will be making it again(and again...and again...lol).
This was a very nice moist banana bread. I followed the recipe exactly. I'm wondering if the topping should have included a bit of flour because mine sunk into the middle of the bread. I used an insulated 9x5x3 pan and I baked it for 65 minutes. I like the fact that it makes one loaf. I plan on making this again with a different streusel to see if it stays where it should be. Thanks for a tasty recipe!

Neglected Ice Sheets Water Down IPCC Report
The report hasn't even been released yet, but one of the big stories around this Friday's release by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the conservative edge to the final product, which does not fully account for the melting of the Greenland nor Antarctic ice sheets.
The report is consensus-based and as such, carefully written and meticulously reviewed. The process is heavily bureacratic, a maze of international political and scientific red tape, which is both its strength and weakness.
While its level of international cooperation attests to its conclusions, scientists have struggled with how to model variables like melting ice sheets. Taking into consideration the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet is likely to move measurements of the sea level rise from inches to feet or meters within this century.
Uncertainties in the science need to be addressed with more research, certainly not the proposed cutback in funding for climate studies. And for as cautious as the IPCC report is in its creation, it needs to consider and calculate the potential consequences of climate change even more cautiously.
That means at least two things need to accompany the report's release: a public awareness campaign of the missing pieces and future IPCC reports that include models of disintegrating ice sheets.
4 Responses to Neglected Ice Sheets Water Down IPCC Report
[…] the IPCC models leave out significant melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, as ClimateProgress has noted and RealClimate also observed. As Drew Shindell, from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space […]

When I have permalink structure off, my custom RewriteRules in .htaccess work fine. But when I turn it on (to one of the standard by date and postname ones), I can't seem to get my custom rules to work, even though the WP ones do. I've tried turning verbose mode on, no effect, and adding the rules to the function mod_rewrite_rules in classes.php doesn't work. I've also tried adding the rules after the #BEGIN and #END WordPress bits in .htaccess, but still to no effect.
Nothing is working, and it's driving me crazy! Does anyone have any ideas that could help me?
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Heres my .htaccess file so you can see what I've got:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^kubrick/?$ /index.php?page_id=110 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^k2/?$ /index.php?page_id=126 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(articles|digressions)/(.*)/?$ /index.php?name=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress

NAGPUR: Suspecting his wife to be having an extra marital affair, a 45-year-old man killed his wife and later committed suicide. Unread newspapers at the door step and foul smell from the couple's residence at WCL quarters in Chankapur, 4km from Khaparkheda, brought to fore the matter on Thursday morning.
After being alerted by the residents, Khaparkheda police broke open the door and found decomposed bodies of the couple. Neelam Kushwah (35) was found dead on the bed while husband Ramayan was found hanging from the ceiling hook with dupatta in the kitchen.
"Both the bodies were decomposed. Neelam's tongue was out which seems that Kushwah might have strangulated her," said PSI Vijay Naik, who had been to Mayo mortuary with the bodies for post mortem.
Cops suspect that the incident took place three days ago. "Newspapers from November 5 are at the door step. It means that the incident might have taken place on November 4," said police. Kushwah worked as an electrician while Neelam was a housewife.
According to the cops, it was the couple's second marriage. The couple hails from Uttar Pradesh. Kushwah's had divorced his first wife, who stays in UP. Neelam had also separated from her first husband.
The couple got married six years ago. Neelam's relatives said that after separating from her husband, Neelam would stay at her sister's house at WCL quarters in Khaparkheda. They came to know about Kushwah interested in marriage.
"First Kushwah and Neelam take time to know each other and then took the decision to get marry," said a relative.
On Thursday morning, the newspaper boy saw newspapers lying at the door step. "He called Kushwah but as there was no response, he opened the window and saw Neelam. He alerted neighbours and cops," said police.
No suicide note was found by police. It was learnt that Kushwah had gone to work on November 4.
Relatives informed that Kushwah would doubt Neelam having an illicit affair. "The couple would often have argument over this," said a relative.

WentAfrica2005 GETS GOING IN UGANDA
http://wentafrica.blogspot.com/ is an electronic reflection of the Women's Electronic Networking Training, which began in early December at Uganda. Women from Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Uganda, Cameroon, Zambia, Sudan, Cameroon, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Senegal are participating in the second such workshop being hosted by APC-Africa-Women. This year, the focus of WENT Africa 2005 is Free and Open Source Software Solutions (FOSS) in women's organisations in Africa. Melissa's screen began by talking gobledeegook!
Open Forum of Cambodia, government train teachers OpenOffice in Khmer
APC-member Open Forum and the National ICT Development Authority of the Cambodian government (NiDA) submitted a proposal for teacher training to InWent (International Capacity Building, Germany) and received support for training 300 computer end-user teachers, as well as for training 30 Linux administrators (for which Open Forum is developing training materials in Khmer). If the present rhythm of training is maintained, more than 350 teachers will be trained in Phnom Penh and at least six other provinces (in teacher training centres and NGOs) before the end of the year.
Battleground of ideas: FLOSS debate raises tempers at BytesForAll
APC member BytesForAll's mailing list recently played host to a strong, and at times polemical, debate on proprietary-versus-FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software). It threw up a range of issues about the role of FLOSS in the 'developing' countries, its role in localisation, how it competes with proprietorial software, why its benefits haven't yet reached regions like Africa, and how diverse approaches to software could actually make a difference in the real world. BytesForAll is a South Asian voluntary network, founded along the free software principles of volunteering, but focussing on information — and how information and communication technologies could be more relevant to the common(wo)man, specially in South Asia.
Different technology multinationals, one destination: Tunis
Big companies on the technology business have known for long that the dissemination of information and communication technologies can promote democracy, but that it can also be a very profitable business. Seeking new potential markets, they send their best lobbyists to pressure governments and international agencies into using their products. Paulo Lima of APC's brazilian member group RITS has something to say about some of these participants in the upcoming multistakeholder summit.
Lessons from Siem Reap...software is not just a tech issue
BytesForAll co-founder Frederick Noronha, an active Free Software evangelist, went to Cambodia's small town of Siem Reap. But his goal wasn't to reach out to the splendoured Ankor Wat temple structures nearby. Rather, it was to take part in FOSSAP-II, the Free and Open Source Software Asia-Pacific Consultation 2005. FN, as he is known in the GNU/Linux circuit, brings home lessons picked up in the longish essay below and stresses the need to build links between two sets of natural allies — Free Software and not-for-profit organisations.
Bridge-building, Philippines-style: linking Free Software and non-profits
The Philippines is moving fast ahead in the task of building bridges between non-profits and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). LinuxWorld Philippines, is the biggest and only nationwide Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) event in that country.
Africa initiative on free software options for non-profits
Africa Source II, an attempt to enhance Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) skills of those working with non-profits in the region will be held in early January 2006, at Kalangala Island on Lake Victoria, Uganda. This eight day hands-on workshop is aimed at helping those working with NGOs on the continent to acquire technical skills.
Behind the mumbo-jumbo of "Intellectual Property"
Why do intellectual property issues matter to civil society? Because they affect the public's access to knowledge in the public domain and to copyrighted work, and infiltrated into the domain of food and medicine, threatening the sustainability of indigenous knowledge and biodiversity. What can be done to protect the global commons, and culture and life forms in the public domain that are the heritage of humankind? What can civil society do locally to ensure that IP legislation responds to social and cultural needs rather to the needs of international capital? These questions are looked at in the latest edition of "Chakula", the APC Africa ICT policy newsletter.
Update: When cyberspace goes to Amazonia...
What happens when wireless, Free Software and the internet reaches the Amazon? APC's member in Brazil, RITS, gives an update of their project in Pará, a territory covered mostly by jungle, and the Amazon Rainforest.
From India, hackers look at another freedom... to collaborate
Free software offers various 'freedoms'. But in India, enthusiasts are working on a new one — the freedom to build bridges to potential partners from half-way across the globe, and facing similar developmental concerns or challenges.

Turkey's deputy central bank governor tells Emerging Markets how policymakers plan to reconcile inflation and growth objectives
Turkey is determined to curb inflation and trim a yawning
current account deficit that widened in the first months of the
year, Turalay Kenc, deputy governor at the Central Bank of the
Republic of Turkey, told Emerging Markets.
Kenc said fighting inflation was one of our two core
Our objective is to bring [Turkeys] CPI down to
around 5.3% by the end of the year. We are confident we can hit
that target, he said. Consumer prices rose by 6.13%
year-on-year in April, down from 7.29% the previous month, but
analysts said they are likely to increase further.
The more pressing concern is the current account deficit.
Turkeys 5-5-5 plan a long-term effort
to cut inflation and the deficit to 5% while boosting gross
domestic product (GDP) by the same percentage is only
partially working. The current account deficit widened to 6.2%
of GDP at end-February 2013, from 5.9% at the end of last
Kenc voiced concern, noting that while it would be
very nice to bring [the deficit] down to 5%, that sort of
target doesnt look likely in the
Turkeys deficit disorder stems largely from the cost
of securing oil and gas: the country imports 97% of its energy,
mostly from Russia.
Timothy Ash, head of emerging market research ex-Africa at
Standard Bank, said that Turkey spent $55 billion on energy
imports in 2012, or 5% of GDP. Achieving energy sustainability,
in other words, would also balance the budget.
To offset that burden, Turkey signed a $22 billion deal last
Friday with a Franco-Japanese consortium to build the
countrys second nuclear power plant. A third plant is
likely to given the green light in the coming months.
There is one [plant] still pending, said Kenc.
These are important deals, necessary to create a
sustainably balanced economy, he added.
Last November Fitch, the rating agency, upgraded Turkey to
investment grade. Senior financial figures in Istanbul
contacted this week by Emerging Markets said
Moodys was likely to raise Turkeys credit rating to
investment grade before the year is out, with S&P following
On Wednesday Hans Blommestein, head of the OECDs bond
market and public debt management unit, said he could see
[no] reason that would block more rating upgrades
in Turkey.
Underlying economic growth is also on the rise again. GDP
grew by just 2.2% in 2012, down from 8.5% the previous year,
though the European Commission recently raised its 2013 growth
forecast on the economy to 3.2% from 3%, and its 2014 forecast
to 4% from 3.8%.
Kenc said the economy was likely to grow by at least 3% this
year. Structural issues remain, the deputy central bank
governor admitted, but he said that Turkey was well on
the way to addressing them. We have a good population dynamics
and good productivity prospects. We have done a lot to get a
solid legal and financial infrastructure in place and ready for
the future.
Standard Banks Ash added: This is a very vibrant
long-term economic growth story, with good demographics, strong
public finances, good banks and a stable

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly
stated that Turkey's inflation target for the end of the year
is 6.2%. It is in fact 5.3%. This version also corrects the
2011 economic growth rate to 8.5%.

Have you ever been thirsty, but just too lazy to walk over to the refrigerator to get a drink? Well, here is the solution. Build your own personal soda fountain that will refill your drink from across the room.
View the project on Instructables: instructables.com/id/Mini-Fridge-Soda-Fountain/
Here is how the system works: A small air pump is connected to an AC power switch that is plugged into a nearby outlet. When the switch is activated, the pump begins to push air through a tube and into a soda bottle. As the pressure inside the bottle builds up, soda is forced out through a second tube. This tube takes the soda and pours it out into your glass. To keep the soda cold, you can put it inside a small refrigerator and run the air tubes through the wall of the refrigerator. This setup gives you a really basic soda fountain.
Plug the AC power switch into a nearby outlet. Then plug the air pump into the power switch. Lastly, take the output hose and set it up where you want the soda to be dispensed. The distance from the refrigerator doesn't matter. However, the strength of the pump will limit how high you can pump the liquid. Mounting the end of the output hose can be as simple as attaching the hose to a nearby wall or table. Or you could make an elaborate 3D printed nozzle with sensors and flashing lights; the choice is up to you.

Very neat hotel. This is an old bank building that has been converted to a boutique hotel. Lobby is beautiful and uniquely done. It is also a "green" hotel. They recycle in each room and the thermostats in the room have an "eco friendly" setting that conserves energy. My busines was in the Nicollet Mall area and it was a close walk to where I needed to be AND the train.
The room I had was very small and decorated in a trendy style but the colors were the brown and orange of the 70s. Not my taste but if it's yours, the decor is fine (chrome & dark wood). Something I found odd was the placement of the flat screen TV. You had to be in bed to watch it, as it was mounted on the wall right next to the bed. As I mentioned the room was small so I guess that was the only place to put it. Now for the part all you tall people are waiting for....in the bathroom, no tub shower combo, just a shower. The head on the shower was one of those rain style ones and was mounted WAY up the wall. Great shower for basketball players. If your someone who is vertically challenged, you might drown. Also, the toilet was high. I'm not a short women at almost 5'8 and my feet barely touched the floor. My view wasn't much to speak of so I kept the curtains pulled the whole time. My room looked over the roof of a lower building with an office building beyond. Bed was VERY comfortable. The maid service the best I've had at any hotel I've stayed at to date.
My room included access to the Concierge Lounge and it was WELL worth it. Relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of my own living room and breakfast was served each morning at no extra cost. It was a buffet w/ hot and cold items, a good selection and an attendent to keep fresh food out and to pick up. Great place to wind down at the end of the day with the happy hour they offer or start the day with a full stomach and good coffee HIGHLY recommend it.
Food in the hotel's resteraunt is good but room service has a better selection and the pricing more reasonable. I wished I had ordered from there instead once I got to my room and actually looked over the menu.
Overall, I will stay here again the next time I'm in Minneapolis.

Afghanistan must root out corruption and bolster its institutions or risk falling prey to the resource curse, a top economist has said
Afghanistan was yesterday urged to avoid repeating the
mistakes made by resource-cursed countries that
have failed to reap wider social benefits from the profits.
Its a matter of spending the money transparently
on things that benefit ordinary people, in the here and
now, said Paul Collier, professor at Oxford University.
He called for natural resources to be viewed as an
opportunity for countries to transform themselves with their
own money.
Collier was speaking at a World Bank seminar about the
Natural Resource Charter, a rulebook for governments grappling
with natural resource management. It urges transparent tenders,
greater accountability and measures to ensure that societies
see obvious benefits.
Afghan officials have this year claimed that the country has
abundant reserves of metals, minerals and rare earths worth up
to $1 trillion. Afghanistan has begun a tender process to
foreign companies to submit bids for the extraction of iron-ore
deposits in some of the most dangerous parts of the country.
After three months a shortlist of candidates will be selected
to visit the site and conduct due diligence; a winner would be
disclosed in mid 2011.
Omar Zakhilwal, the Afghan finance minister, told
Emerging Markets that the government was aware of the
need to be alert to mistakes made by other resource-rich
countries in the past.
We certainly want to repeat the success. As for the
failures, you have to be vigilant, Zakhilwal said. A key
focus is to build capacity within the government for oversight
of contracts and monitoring of corruption, he added.
Not only is it important to us to negotiate a good
deal for Afghanistan, but also we have to make sure that
contracts are delivered on, Zakhilwal said.
The finance ministry had managed to double revenue
collection from $60 million to more than $130 million per month
within the past year and a half.
The government says it will try to include locals in
resource extraction by recruiting them into a security force
protecting the mines. The technique would also be employed for
a proposed $3.3 billion gas pipeline that could one day run
through Taliban heartland, from Turkmenistan through to
Pakistan and India.
A big question is how costs, and then revenue, would be
split between Afghanistan and foreign investors. One possible
approach is a version of the model developed for the oil
industry in Iraq, as it emerged from conflict.
The Iraqi approach was unusual because oil remains in the
Iraqi states hands, in contrast to the US
governments plans for an Oil Law which would have handed
reserves to foreign companies. The Baghdad government awarded
companies service contracts, and agreed to pay them a fee to
pump oil for a set price per barrel.

CAIRO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Egyptian protesters angry at a film they say insults Prophet Mohammad hurled stones on Friday at a line of police in Cairo blocking their way to the U.S. embassy, which was attacked earlier this week.
Police in riot gear fired tear gas and threw stones back at the demonstrators. A burnt-out car was overturned in the middle of the street which leads to the fortified embassy from Tahrir Square.
Police had tried to clear the Square on Friday ahead of a nationwide protest called by the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's most influential group that propelled President Mohamed Mursi to power following popular protests that toppled president Hosni Mubarak and ushered in the first democratic elections in decades. But shortly after they cleared Tahrir, demonstrators returned.
The Egyptian authorities had erected large concrete blocks to block the route to the embassy.
"Before the police, we were attacked by Obama," shouted one demonstrator, blaming U.S. President Barack Obama and the U.S. government for insulting the Prophet.
One banner held aloft by demonstrators read: "It is the duty of all Muslims and Christians to kill Morris Sadek and Sam Bacile and everyone who participated in the film."
Several demonstrators waved green and black flags with Koranic verses on them.
The crowd was a mixed collection of people - some were bearded Islamists wearing traditional gallabiya robes, but most were youths and young men in T-shirts and jeans.

NetHack is probably the most played and famous roguelike currently played, featuring an extremely complex item system: "the dev team thinks of everything." Version 3.6.0 was released in December of 2015.
NetHack is a open source roguelike game originally published in 1987. One of the most distinctive features is its extensive item system; items can behave differently based on the character's status, the item's blessed/uncursed/cursed (BUC) status, the player's form or the surroundings. It is often said that the dev team thinks of everything.
The latest version, 3.6.0, was released in December, 2015; the open license has triggered a number of forks, the most notable being SLASH'EM (slashem) and Unnethack.
