Historical Traveler Reviews Thistle Cheltenham Hotel
Absolutely Diabolical
We stayed at this hotel back in August as we got a great deal on Late Rooms (or so I thought). Although
we only paid �70 for the night (the going rate was �150) it was absolutely diabolical.
The 5 star rating must have been applied when the hotel
was built 20/30 years ago, it was tired and dirty
and the service appalling.
I actually contacted The English Tourist Board as I felt mislead due to its superior star rating only to be told that the hotel had declined an inspection and was under review.
On my return I promptly wrote to the Hotel and advised them of my disappointing stay. They wrote back and
agreed with the points I had raised and thanked me for my feedback. Unbelievable they did not even offer
any apology or any renumeration. Eventually I contacted the Chief Executive of Thistle and a complimentary weekend was offered at the Thistle Charing Cross which I must say was very nice.
But defintely give this hotel a wide berth.
Not as bad as fearec after reviews!
Having booked a weekend and then reading the reviews we were a bit apprehensive about our forthcoming stay, however, for �50 a night we were pleasantly surprised. Rooms were large, well furnished and quiet. The only aspect we were disappointed with was breakfast - not best quality in world, but as we only paid �50 we weren't that bothered. �5 taxi into Cheltenham, made it in a good location. Would go again if got rooms at that price
Good location - easy to find
After reading the reviews below I was pleasantly surprised, we booked three rooms all were very clean and spacious. I admit that the hotel does not look very appealing from the outside but located centrally for Cheltenham (we left our car in the hotel car park and caught the bus right outside, 10 mins were in the centre) We ate dinner in the hotel the first night and could not fault it at all (if you order the sticky toffee pudding it is enough for two!!!) Breakfast was great and plenty of choice. For the money it was OK, this was certainly not the worst hotel we have stayed in.
The most awful experience I have ever had to endure
What a difference to customer service there is prior to taking you booking and then on arrival.
The building is awful from the outside - however inside is not too bad
Large party staying over two nights. Room wasn't ready for over an hour. Not a bad room to be honest however Phone was ringing in the background of reception and was not being been answered "I am on my break", I heard been called. I should have known. For my thick-skinned (not in body!) girlfriend to comment on this there must be something wrong. .
The first night was spent in Cheltenham town so the level of service was noticed.
Breakfast was awful, the serving staff rude and the reception even worse than the day before (I Wont go into the ins and outs of the events we booked that day because we are having to take legal action about this) with an attitude and lack of professionalism you would not expect of such a hotel.
Saturday night. After a meal in town the group of 25 comes back to the hotel in high spirits. However a group of travellers have descended upon the venue. They are asked to leave by a timid waiter. Nothing happens. They become loud and unbearable and intimidate the guests. The answer -close the bar early and make everyone go to bed. Well managed! No apology to the residents. No answers.
The attitude of the managers since (of all levels) has been nothing short of condescending and patronising.
I for one will never stay in a Thistle hotel again. Awful
Dreadful, simply dreadful
I booked this hotel on the day I was due to arrive, on arrival my booking could not be located. However they did book me in and charged my credit card again. My credit card was also had charged against �50.00 in case I used room service...never before has this happened to me, it gives a real clue as to this hotels professionalism, there isn't any!
I was given a double bedded room as requested accept it was a single disabled room with a double bed moved in, this was easy to work out as the single headboard had been left in place, which meant my head leant against the light switches! No towels of any description in the room, these were requested and brought to the room and thrown on the chair closest to the door.
The next day I requested a move to a double room, which was acted on promptly. I was moved to the room next door, which was already empty. Why was I not given this room on the day I booked in? As it was plainly a double room which I had requested.
Breakfast was a little heavy going as not many hotel staff spoke English. The toast was stone cold on two out of three of the mornings I stayed; the third morning it was warm as they had forgot to make any and produced it on demand!
The lounge areas were full up with business people having meetings from dawn to dusk. There is a notice on the bar offering this at so much per hour to the business community, which is fine if you the guest using the hotels rooms don't mind sitting in your room all day, as there certainly is no room to sit in the lounge areas. I am sure this problem only occurs if you are unlucky enough to stay at this hotel on a week day.
I was due to and had paid up front to stay for five nights at this hotel. I left after three nights and booked myself into a FOUR star hotel using the Thistles internet link (�4.00 for 20 mins usage). Never again will I stay at this Thistle or any other hotel in the Thistle group.
Good value for money
After all the negative comments written about this hotel we weren't expecting much especially as we managed to get a great last minute deal. The rooms were clean and bright, the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast during the week was excellent with loads of choice and all nicely cooked. It was in a handy location for us as we did not want to go through cheltenham town every time we went out and had easy access to all the main roads. The hotel itself was really quiet and i wasnt once disturbed during the night and the pool/leisure centre was also nice (although the changing rooms could have done with up-dating).
All in all we were very happy with our bargain break and would recommend it to friends if they wanted a cheap, convenient, clean and friendly place to stay whilst exploring the cotswolds.
Business hotel - miles from centre, next to GCHQ!
Exterior is fairly dated so puts you off before you get in. However, once inside it was nicely decorated. Room was ok - typical business hotel fare.
Worst thing for me was fact that it was a 10 min drive to the centre of Cheltenham. Not ideal for those wishing to site see in the City.
Not bad at all
I stayed there as part of a group . The room was large and very clean.
No complaints at all in that regard.
I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful throughout our 2 day stay from the front desk to the restaurant to the bar staff. All very nice.
The breakfast was fantastic. It had everything you wanted. We also ate in the restaurant one night and again absolutely no complaints at all.
The hotel could do with some new carpets and maybe a bit of paint while the bar is located in the corrider so everyone walks by you while you try to relax with a drink.
One small complaint was the lack of room service late one night when we got back from a sporting event nearby. Despite advertising it in our room when we rang down there was none availiable and we were directed to the KFC across the road as we were starving.
If passing through this area I think for the price you couldn't do much worse. Just make sure you eat on time!
Nice room shame about rest of hotel
stayed the night here for a works party. Large room very nice overlooking tennis court. Staff let the hotel down very rude no manners. Breakfast buffet was terrible limited choice and cold. Receptionist didn't bother asking if stay was ok when checking out otherwise would have told her no. Wouldn't stay here again.
Ok, but noisy June 2004
The hotel is air conditioned, which is a big plus.
The rooms are larger than average in the UK.
Stayed June 16-17, 2004.
Unusually loud fire door started slamming early and ended late.
Construction on the floor above also woke us up.
My complaint to managment was ignored.

Excerpts From Debate Between Vice President Gore and Jack Kemp
Published: October 10, 1996
(Page 9 of 9)
KEMP -- Civility, responsibility, racial reconciliation, healing the wounds of our country, has to be one of the greatest and most singularly important goals for this country here on the edge of the 21st century.
How in the name of American democracy can we say to Eastern Union, a democratic capitalism will work there if we can't make it work in East LA, or East Harlem or east Palo Alto, California?
How can we tell South Africa and the new Mandela government that democracy and private property and limited government and the rule of law and civility will work there if it is not working in our own backyard here at home or in the South Bronx?
USA Today just a few weeks ago did a study. They said the affluent are doing very well in America, the ''haves.'' But the ''have- nots'' and the poor are being left behind.
It's a giant, in my opinion, zero-sum game, kind of like musical chairs when we were young boys and girls growing up and it seemed like when the music stopped, the big guy elbowed out the little guy from that last chair.
That's not America, folks. We need more chairs. We need a bigger table. We need a greater banquet. We need to create more wealth. We need to create more jobs and more access to credit and capital and educational choice, and opportunity for any man or woman and child to be what God meant them to be, not what Washington, D.C., wants them to be.
GORE -- I think, Mr. Lehrer, that throughout much of his career, Jack Kemp has been a powerful and needed voice against the kind of coarseness and incivility that you referred to in the question.
I think it's an extremely valuable service to have a voice within the Republican Party who says we ought to be one nation. We ought to cross all of the racial and ethnic and cultural barriers. I think that is a very important message to deliver.
And we ought to speak out against these violations of civility when they do occur.
You asked about the incident involving Roberto Alomar. I won't hesitate to tell you what I think. I think he should have been severely disciplined, suspended perhaps, immediately. I don't understand why that action was not taken.
But the same could be said of so many incidents in all kinds of institutions in our society. But I compliment Mr. Kemp for the leadership he has shown in moving us away from that kind of attitude.
KEMP -- Well I thank you, Al. I mean that very, very sincerely.
But I'm trying to make a bigger point, that civility cannot return to our country unless every person feels that they have an equal shot at the American Dream -- that if you're born in this country to be a mezzo-soprano or a master carpenter or a school teacher, like my daughter, or a professional football quarterback, nothing should be in your way.
And removing those barriers is what Bob Dole is all about -- moving our country forward and leaving no one behind.
MODERATOR -- Mr. Vice President, do you agree with that thesis, that in order to solve the problem of civility, the problems of the American soul, you have to -- it's an economic problem more than it is something else?
GORE -- I think that economics is one of the single most important parts of this problem. That's why we're focusing on tax credits to hire one million more people coming off welfare in the inner city.
That's why we're focusing on an economic policy that has already created 10.5 million new jobs and is going to create millions more, within the context, again, of a balanced budget that protects important programs. We have focused especially on the most distressed areas because we cannot leave anyone behind.
Our empowerment zones and enterprise communities, the tax credits that will encourage the formation of new businesses, the new approach by the Small Business Administration to get more loans out to individuals that have not had equal access to capital in the past -- these are parts of the plan.
Another part of it is the community development financial institutions and the law that says deposits that are made in a community, in the inner cities, say, should be kept in the community -- not entirely, but some percentage of them should be kept there.
That prevents that money being taken from the community and invested in some go-go investment on the other side of the world. And when they invest in the community, they find that there's a better payback rate, more small businesses are created and the community improves.
That's happening in America today -- not fast enough, but faster than before. And we think we can accelerate it with our plan.
KEMP -- There really is no separation between a strong community and a strong economy. And you can't have a strong economy without strong communities and strong families.
The word ''economics'' in Greek came from the word ''family'' or law or custom of the family.
A family without a job, where both bread winners are away from home and they cannot spend time with their children, or can't send the child to the school of their choice, rather than just the choice of the Federal bureaucracy, cannot possibly be as strong as a family that has the nurture, the love, the dignity and the justice that goes along with one bread winner, a strong job. And if that man or woman wants to work, it's their choice, not just to pay taxes.
So we need both. We need strong community -- we need strong schools. We need schools that nurture the type of discipline and respect from teachers and parents. And Bob Dole wants to empower the public school districts and the teachers, not the Federal bureaucracy at the Department of Education.
GORE -- Well, Senator Dole has said that he wants to abolish the Department of Education. He voted against the creation of Head Start. He vigorously opposed the Family and Medical Leave Act which was the first law that President Clinton signed as President.
Now Senator Dole has suggested that he would repeal the Family and Medical Leave Act if he had the chance if he was elected President.
We believe in more educational opportunity and measures to strengthen families, not restrict their access to education.

Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life.
In his internationally bestselling, now classic volume, The Selfish Gene, Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk.
This 30th anniversary edition of Dawkins' fascinating book retains all original material, including the two enlightening chapters added in the second edition. In a new Introduction the author presents his thoughts thirty years after the publication of his first and most famous book, while the inclusion of the two-page original Foreword by brilliant American scientist Robert Trivers shows the enthusiastic reaction of the scientific community at that time. This edition is a celebration of a remarkable exposition of evolutionary thought, a work that has been widely hailed for its stylistic brilliance and deep scientific insights, and that continues to stimulate whole new areas of research today.

I thought this necessary to balance out the religious fundamentalist who 'reviewed' this book before me. I'd like to point out that I've actually read this book, as well as creationist and intelligent design books. In 1976, Richard Dawkins revolutionized biology not only by providing a compelling argument for gene-centered evolution (evolution being the only other choice other than us being magically made of dust a few thousand years ago) but by introducing the concept of memes. Whether you agree with him or not, Dawkins' book is well written and deserves to at least be read in its entirety before being baselessly based by Bible-thumping, fundamentalist, reason and logic lacking creationists.
I must acknowledge that this is perhaps one of the finest books I have encountered and read. The structure was very well thought out and written in terms that even an average individual without prior exposure to these studies can understand. As for the poor reviews that 'Christians' are always giving Dawkins and other like minded authors and theorist. Stop wasting everyones time with your babbling reviews of repentence and redemtion and persecution. No one has asked for you to agree with our opinions/theorizations on the evolution of life and frankly we do not waste our time in attempting to persuade you to accept our opinions. A word to the Christian. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. Stop being selective in your Biblical scriptures and finding ways to twist what your Bible says. If you are going to defend your beliefs, stick with your guidelines in your Bible, NOT what you misconstrue.
Dawkins is genious. clear as day.
Very good book. It was not exactly what I expected but like all Dawkins books it is very well written. He presents a well argued case.
In this classic sociobiology text, Dawkins shows how mathematical analyses can help us understand the evolution of social behaviors in humans and other animals. Dawkins uses game theory to show how differing strategies can come to coexist in populations. He does this with strategies of physical aggression, mating and infant-care strategies. He writes about the evolution of altruistic behaviors—i.e., behaviors that promote the survival of others while reducing the chances of survival of the altruistic individual. Here the analysis is based on the understanding that natural selection operates at the level of genes rather than organisms. In the process of natural selection, random mutations create alleles (versions) of genes that create different varieties of a feature (e.g. different eye colors, or different levels of aggression). The alleles that endow the organism with characteristics that best serve to reproduce that allele become increasingly common in the population. By reducing the likelihood of survival, altruism reduces the likelihood of reproduction of individual organisms. However, an allele that creates an altruistic behavior could become common if that behavior benefited enough other individuals who also carried that allele. Altruistic acts toward closer relatives are more likely to be of benefit to an allele because closer relatives are more likely to also have that allele. All of this makes for fascinating reading. However, Dawkins takes three shortcuts that can lead the reader to misunderstand the process of natural selection. He refers to gene alleles as "genes." Secondly, for much of the book he writes at the level of the individual organism rather than the allele. Finally, in order to make it easier to evaluate how specific strategies impact the allele's frequency, he writes as if genes—and animals—are beings that consciously strategize with self-reproducing goals in mind. These shortcuts don't compromise his analyses of specific strategies. However, he almost never restates his arguments in scientifically objective, allele-centered terms. As a result, the reader may create an incorrect mental model of natural selection in which human-like genes—and the individuals they control—are locked in a dog eat dog competition for dominance. Dawkins himself seems to have succumbed to this misconception. On page 2 he writes: "I shall argue that the predominant quality to be expected in a successful gene is ruthless selfishness. This gene selfishness will usually give rise to selfish behavior." Gene alleles don't have attitudes to other alleles of the same gene, they simply code for characteristics—only a fraction of which have anything to do with social behavior. Is an allele for light hair in Northern Europe "selfish"? The alleles that become frequent in a population are the ones that code for characteristics that enhance their reproduction. Most mutations produce alleles that reduce the viability of the organism and hence of the allele. If one wanted to attribute a quality to alleles that become prevalent it would be "lucky," or "effective," not "selfish." That said, reading "The Selfish Gene" was a pleasurable, at times even enlightening, experience for this reviewer. I strongly recommend this book, especially if you don't already have a background in game theory or in the theory of kin selection. Just be careful to step around the pitfalls that Dawkins falls into.
"The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, like "Death by Black Hole" by Neil Degrasse Tyson, is another example of fine scholarship. Although these 2 insightful books cover different subject matter, I found something astutely interesting illustrated in each book. On page 23 of the paperback version of "The Selfish Gene," Dr. Dawkins writes, "...when you were first conceived you were just a single cell, ... This cell divided into two, ... Successive divisions took the number of cells up to 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on into the billions." On page 284 of the paperback version of "Death by Black Hole," Dr. Tyson writes regarding being devoured by a black hole, "That's the gory moment when you body snaps into two segments, breaking apart at your midsection. Upon falling further, ... so forth, bifurcating your body into an ever-increasing number of parts: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc." The point of these 2 references is to illustrate how science, revealed through sound scholarship, presents cogent patterns in the architect's esoteric fabric of our existence to those who seek a higher understanding of life. These revelations are esoteric only because there are relatively few who "seek" this higher understanding when considering the whole of humanity. "The Selfish Gene" is filled with insightful, scientific, and relevant information. Therefore, I highly recommend the book to the general public, and especially to the intellectual.

Currently, Gardner's passer reating is 190.2 according to ESPN. Obviously he has played against some assy mc-ass defenses, but extrapolated over an entire season, that would be the second best all time passer rating for an NCAA quarterback. Not bad for a guy who played wide receiver all year.

We stayed overnight in one of the second-floor rooms that is original to the house. The bed, dressed in IRONED sheets, was quite comfortable. Our room was spacious with a large closet and an adequate bathroom with a shower. There are no televisions or phones in the rooms, but there is a tv in the library. There is Internet access, but it is very slow.
This B & B is for you if you like:
a. a lovely rural setting
b. a historic property
c. a B & B where the owners live on the property
d. peace and quiet
e. a very reasonable price
This B & B may not be for you if the following bother you:
a. creaky floors (fortunately, the living room was under our room)
b. a long gravel driveway
c. breakfast at a very specific time (8:30 a.m.)
d. no tv, slow Internet
e. stairs

I don't really think I should give this a rating with stars because I changed it too much so I'm going to choose to just leave a comment. To be fair I made this exactly as the recipe states and it wasn't too bad but I just felt it was a bit too tart for me and it just seemed to be missing something. So I added a few small scoops of vanilla ice cream and a little milk and then it was perfect and the ice cream helped sweeten it up a bit. So, after I made the changes I really thought this was delicious. I would definately make this again but as the recipe states it just wasn't for me, with the addition of ice cream and milk I loved it. Thank You!
Easy and delicious. And super healthy too. Serve it ice cold in a pineapple for a fancy presentation. The lime juice add just enough tart and fresh notes to control the sweetness of the banana. And the banan makes this smoothies so soft. I love such smoothies throughout the day. In the morning this will give you power for the day, in the afternoon this is right on for a wonderful refreshment. And in the evening it is a great start for a summeryl dinner. Thanks for sharing.

Scots Get No Kick From Football
A decline in the quality of the game has fans calling for a revival at the grassroots level
The problems afflicting Scottish football are well documented: The national team is in a tailspin, its two biggest club teams are also-rans in European terms, and many of its league clubs are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Now, the game in Scotland is facing a more esoteric concern: boredom.
Football supporters in Scotland are fed up of watching their clubs play against each other four times a season and want an overhaul of the 10-team league structure, according to a survey of supporters' trusts.
The poll—undertaken by Supporters Direct, the collective voice of football supporters' trusts in the U.K.—sought views of 1,300 fans on a range of issues concerning the structure and administration of the sport. Its findings paint an alarming picture of a repetitive, boring, low-quality and divided game.
James Proctor, the development manager of Supporters Direct in Scotland, says the survey is the "biggest thumbs down to the product the fans are currently seeing.… Fans feel disenchanted and disempowered by the current set-up."
Against this backdrop of unrest, the Scottish Football Association (SFA) published Friday the first part of a—wholly separate—major review of the Scottish game conducted by Henry McLeish, the country's former first minister.
The 74-page document (Scottish Football Review) commissioned last May by SFA President George Peat, makes a series of recommendations aimed at improving the diminishing standards in Scotland and halting the decline of Scottish football. Among them is a call for £500 million to be spent on solving the "crisis" that has left the country among the also-rans of the world game.
Scotland is ranked 41st in the world and has failed to qualify for the last six major international competitions. A generation ago, Scotland was a global powerhouse, regularly churning out players and managers who were a match for any in the world. In 1985, Liverpool's starting line-up in the European Cup final featured three Scottish players.
Two years ago, Glasgow Rangers made it to a European final, yet the decline in Scottish football since has been so steep, it is difficult to imagine a Scottish team achieving such a feat again. Belgium leapfrogged Scotland in UEFA's co-efficient rankings table this year, meaning from 2012, Scottish champions will no longer gain automatic entry in the Champions League.
The report has called for half a billion pounds to be spent on facilities for youth and talent development in the next 10 years to boost the grassroots game in Scotland
"We have a crisis on our hands in terms of facilities and infrastructure—I thought long and hard about using the word crisis, and I decided to say it is a crisis," said Mr. McLeish, adding that the game in Scotland is "underachieving, underperforming and underfunded."
Mr. McLeish canvassed opinion from across the Scottish game as well as visiting other European countries. "There is a gap—a huge gap—between our ambitions and expectations as a nation and our achievements," he said, pointing to a disparity in talent between Scotland and similar-size countries.
"You can watch the [UEFA Champions League] game between Barcelona and Inter Milan [last week]. You may argue that's a different level, but why should it be? Why shouldn't the same skills and talent we saw there not be replicated among our young footballers as they come through the system?
"Why can Norway, why can Denmark, why can Finland—with the same size of population—why can Iceland...have better facilities than a nation that supposedly wants to be a world-class football country?"
Last year's collapse of the pay-TV network Setanta Sports Holdings Ltd, which held the broadcasting rights for the Scottish Premier League (SPL), seems to have damaged a number of clubs.
The SPL's contract with Setanta would have brought an increase of £60 million on the league's previous TV deal, covering four years from 2010. Even though Setanta's demise occurred 12 months before the extra funding was due, several clubs had budgeted in expectation of money that wasn't forthcoming—an annual sum of about £1.25 million per team.
In such a climate, Mr. McLeish said his recommendations are "ambitious," although he has urged local and national government, Scottish football and the private sector to come together to create a "unique and powerful investment vehicle" to make them a reality.
The second and third parts of McLeish's review, which will make specific recommendations for the professional game, will be published later this year. For supporters who say they're losing interest in the SPL, the hope is that his report calls for radical changes to reinvigorate the sport, with 90% of fans in the Supporters Direct survey calling for a change to the league structure.
"The message to football's hierarchy is that fans are passionate and committed to the game but want to see significant improvement in how it is organized and run," Mr. Proctor said. "They have also stated powerfully that they want to be involved in those discussions and hope…the McLeish report, can provide the momentum to bring about positive improvement in the game in Scotland."

Laura Seitz, Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — An eight-year goal to increase the number of adults in the state with a postsecondary education was officially adopted Tuesday by the Utah Legislature.
Lawmakers join Gov. Gary Herbert, the Governor's Education Excellence Commission, public and higher education officials and members of Prosperity 2020 — a public-private education advocacy group — in supporting the goal, which seeks to have 66 percent of Utah's adult workforce holding a postsecondary degree or certificate by the year 2020.
Roughly 43 percent of adults in Utah currently hold a postsecondary degree or certificate.
SCR5, sponsored by Sen. Jerry Stevenson, R-Layton, was substituted Tuesday morning in the House by Brad Last, R-Hurricane, to include the goal that 90 percent of students score proficiently in reading by the end of the third grade.
The substitute also changes the title of the resolution to more clearly reflect the state's intent to have 66 percent of Utah's adults educated beyond high school by the year 2020. Later that day, Senators approved the new version of the resolution in a unanimous vote.
"This is a vision statement. That's really all that it is," Last said. "It indicates that we all want to get together and pull together and get two-thirds of our adults educated so they can be well-employed by 2020."
The "66 by 2020" goal has been a key component of Herbert's educational initiatives. In his proposed budget, the governor called for a series of targeted investments toward the initiative, as well as science, technology, mathematics and engineering, or STEM.
The latest budget proposals include funding for several of the governor's proposals, such as ACT testing for all students, early intervention technologies and a STEM action center, as well as flexible funding in the form of a weighted pupil unit increase for public education and mission-based funding for higher education that could be used toward increases college preparation and degree attainment.
While not all of his budget requests were funded in the latest budget proposals, Herbert said Tuesday he is grateful and pleased by the efforts of lawmakers to prioritize education. He said that between public and higher education, the Legislature will appropriate roughly $20 million toward STEM education.
"I feel very good about what they've done and how they've done it," Herbert said.
The substitute bill by Last received three votes in opposition in the House.
Rep. Jim Nielson, R-Bountiful, described the resolution as an instance of "watch what I say, not what I do." He said the idea of educating Utah's adults is a nice one, but the resolution does little in the form of quantifiable action toward that goal.
"Let's be serious and do things," Nielson said. "Not saying we're going to do things, but just do them."
But Last said the resolution helps establish a long-term vision that lawmakers and educators could work toward in partnership.
"I think all of us have heard the statement that you need to begin with the end in mind," he said. "That's what this is about."

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- LSU forward Matt Derenbecker, who
started 16 games as a freshman last season, is withdrawing from
His father, John Derenbecker, says his son is academically eligible to continue playing for the Tigers, but has struggled to perform as well in the class room as he or his family expected.
John Derenbecker says his son received his release from LSU on
Monday and now hopes to transfer to another school as soon as
possible, but will take a year off from playing before resuming his
college basketball career.
The 6-foot-7 Derenbecker averaged 6.5 points in 32 games, with a
season-high 19 points against Mississippi. LSU coach Trent Johnson says he appreciates that Derenbecker is going through a "tough time" and that basketball is not his priority right now.

Intesa Subordinated Bonds Gain on Offer to Exchange for New Debt
Intesa Sanpaolo SpA's subordinated bonds gained after Italy's second-biggest lender offered to swap the securities for new notes that will meet toughened regulatory requirements.
The European Union is phasing in new rules on regulatory capital meaning that existing junior notes will gradually be disqualified from January 2014, the bank said in a statement. To act as Tier 2 capital, a layer of debt that helps protect senior obligations from loss, bonds must in future be structured so they can absorb losses if the issuer needs to be propped up.
"The usefulness of the existing bonds as capital will start to taper off from next year," said Roger Francis, a credit analyst at Mizuho International Plc. "It's a question of cost-effectiveness."
Turin-based Intesa Sanpaolo's 1.13 billion euros ($1.5 billion) of 6.625 percent bonds due May 2018, which the issuer is offering to buy back at 107.75 cents, gained 2 cents on the euro to 107.18, according to Bloomberg prices. The lender's 1.45 billion euros of 5 percent notes maturing in May 2019 gained 2.5 cents to 102.5, the price at which the bank said it will buy them back.
"The exchange offer is aimed at allowing Intesa Sanpaolo to optimize the composition of its regulatory capital," the bank said in the statement.
The new notes will pay 4.5 percentage points more than the benchmark 10-year mid-swap rate, the bank said in the statement. They will be denominated in euros and will have the same aggregate amount as the notes accepted in the exchange. Intesa Sanpaolo said it will accept all the bonds in the series that are covered by the offer.

Errant TV Satellite Drifts, but Risks Are Few
An out-of-control television communications satellite is drifting dangerously close to another satellite, but officials played down the risk of a collision or potential disruption to U.S. programming.
Intelsat Ltd. said last month that it had lost control of one of its satellites, Galaxy 15, resulting in an eastward drift that threatened to interfere with other satellites along its path. One such satellite is AMC 11, run by rival SES World Skies, which operates a satellite that serves a number of U.S. cable providers.
Because Intelsat's Galaxy 15 is still broadcasting its signal, the potential for a conflict exists when it nears AMC 11 on May 23; however, officials at Intelsat and SES World Skies, which is owned by Luxembourg-based SES SA, say they are taking steps to avoid any interference.
"Given the number of technical alternatives that can be executed from the Earth, we are confident that potential disruptions to television programming will be minimal or even avoided entirely," Intelsat spokeswoman Dianne VanBeber said.
Satellites generally last at least 15 years. While highly unusual, it isn't unheard of for a company to lose control of a satellite, said a spokesman for SES World Skies, Yves Feltes. He added that SES hasn't encountered such a problem.
Galaxy 15, which was launched in 2005 and cost $200 million, is moving at a steady pace, so there is still plenty of time to take action, Mr. Feltes said.
"We're confident that we can get through this unfortunate situation," he said, adding that a number of ways are available to avoid a potential disruption. These include adjusting the position of AMC 11 and switching some of its customer traffic to larger uplink antennas, which would eliminate the interference. Another option is to move some of the traffic onto one of the company's other satellites. SES operates a fleet of 43 satellites.
Mr. Feltes declined to name any of the cable customers or channels that potentially could be affected. He said that there was "absolutely no risk" of a collision.
Discovery Communications Inc. and Comcast Corp. are among the customers listed on SES's website. "There's no impact at this time, and we continue to monitor the situation closely," said a Comcast spokesman. Discovery said it has made contingency plans to guard against a service disruption.
Intelsat and SES World Skies are in frequent communications. While Intelsat no longer has control over Galaxy 15, the company is aware of its position and provides updates on its status to other satellite companies.
Intelsat said it will continue to work with other companies to deal with the drifting satellite until it loses its orbit and power, expected during late August. Ms. VanBeber said there is no risk the satellite will crash to Earth.
Last month, the company said its customers were moved to another satellite when it lost control of Galaxy 15. Ms. VanBeber said there was virtually no disruption to service.

Prudential Names Paul Manduca to Succeed McGrath as Chairman
Prudential Plc, the U.K.'s biggest insurer by market value, named Paul Manduca as chairman to replace Harvey McGrath, who oversaw the company's failed $35.5 billion bid for AIA Group Ltd. two years ago.
Manduca, 60, who was chief executive officer of Deutsche Bank AG's European asset management unit from 2002 to 2005, will start on July 2, the London-based insurer said in a statement today. As Prudential's senior independent director, he had been leading the search for a chairman until he was asked to become a candidate, the company said.
McGrath, 60, had been pressed to step down by investors including Schroders Plc and Jupiter Fund Management Plc after the failure of the bid for AIA, American International Group Inc.'s Asian business. About 22 percent of shareholders opposed his re-election or abstained at a vote last year after the bid cost Prudential 377 million pounds ($591 million) in fees to lawyers and advisers.
Manduca will step down as chairman of Aon Corp.'s U.K. division to make Prudential his main focus, the firm said. The company will appoint a replacement senior independent director in due course.
Manduca, who was founding CEO of Threadneedle Asset Management Ltd., will be paid 600,000 pounds a year, 20 percent more than McGrath received in salary last year. The appointment has been approved by the Financial Services Authority, Prudential said.
Prudential Plc has no relation to Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential Financial Inc.

Novozymes Sees DuPont's Enzyme Entry Opening Up Lagging U.S.
Novozymes A/S, the Copenhagen-based supplier of enzymes, said DuPont Co.'s $7.1 billion purchase of crosstown Danish rival Danisco is opening up a U.S. market that has lagged behind Europe in enzyme use.
Only 30 percent to 40 percent of detergents in the U.S. contain enzymes, which replace oil-based chemicals and act as catalysts to allow washing machines to run at a lower temperature, Chief Financial Officer Benny Loft said in an interview. By contrast, they are ubiquitous in Europe, he said.
Western chemical makers, including BASF SE and Royal DSM NV, are turning to the science of modifying proteins and enzymes for industrial use to help remodel portfolios and replace cyclical commodity products. DuPont Chief Executive Officer Ellen Kullman orchestrated the takeover of Danisco and its Genencor enzyme unit, and her role advising President Barack Obama on competitiveness is helping push the technology.
"It's moving in the right direction," Loft said in the Nov. 16 interview. "Before DuPont entered this space with the acquisition of Genencor, there wasn't really anybody of size who was favoring the industry from a lobbying point of view."
The better connections to the political system is helping the large oil companies embrace the use of enzymes in developing and converting crop stalks into biofuels.
Vestar Capital Partners's purchase of Unilever's branded laundry business for $1.45 billion, renamed Sun Products, is also driving enzymes use in the U.S. as it includes them in brands, Loft said. China is another market with very low and growing usage, and Novozymes is investing to expand its products' penetration there, according to the finance chief.
"Sun Products is very focused on including enzymes," he said. "They're taking the market to a new level where a broader use of enzymes is taking place in the u.s. Hopefully we'll see a U.S. market that's more equal to the European one."

I don't believe for one minute that the owners of Wal-Mart build more stores solely to create more jobs. They do it to make more profit. Wal-Mart can sell their goods at a lower price because they are so big and can buy in such huge quantities. I find it disturbing that a family as wealthy as the Waltons would not install safety features that might have saved the lives of 112 people. That's just not right.....PERIOD. This argument of "if they don't like working there, they can go somewhere else" misses the point. With all the money that the Wal-Mart family has, why can't they improve the benefits for the people that show up to work at their stores every day to keep them wealthy? It's the old, "Let them eat cake" attitude of the very rich that disgusts me. "We got ours, SCREW the rest of you." I've stopped shopping at Wal-Mart.

I guess I'll start this journal with the pregnancy that ended on 11/17/2006.
I found out I was pregnant on October 6th. I was only 8 dpo. I had just gotten home from $tree with my monthly supply of pregnancy tests. Even though it was only 8dpo and not even fmu, I just couldn't resist taking one. The whole time that I was in the bathroom, I was laughing at myself for being so ridiculous. Until, that is, I saw a faint, faint line.
I tested again in the morning and the line was a lot more visible. So it was official. I was pregnant! I remember how excited I was. Me and dh decided to tell the kids right away since we're so rotten at keeping secrets. My daughter was thrilled, my son couldn't be bothered. He said it was too far away to bother thinking about it.
I went for my first appointment at 5 weeks and the dr confirmed I was pregnant.

i have reporting layout problem in Crystal Report. the user have required that the two sections be in one page, and those two sections should have enough space in between them. so i put a new section in between them, around half inch. the problem is when the first section occupied the whole space of first page, then the second section will have that in-between section(the one that facilitates the half inch spacing) before it. they don't want the extra space on top of second page
my idea is to create a suppress formula for that in-between section:
pagenumber(first_section) <> pagenumber(second_section)
is there a function which could aid this conditional suppression?

See full report for investment allocation. How confident are you in your local economy, the overall U.S. economy and the global economy? What has been your company's productivity over the last year? Industry representation of the 1,000 firms polled in the most recent Middle Market Indicator. Sectors are based on industry codes from the U.S. Census Bureau. All Others includes: Mining, Utilities, Agriculture, Transportation and Communications. Download Current Indicator Download Current Infographic Performance Benchmarking Tool Key Insights Following a year of fluctuations, revenue growth appears to be stabilizing at a strong but sustainable level. Nearly seven in 10 middle market firms report year-over-year increases in revenue with a mean total revenue growth rate of 6.3% for Q1 2016, up slightly since the end of last year. Employment growth rates remain consistent Around four in 10 firms across all middle market revenue segments continue to say employment has increased over the past 12 months. Just over one-third (34%) of businesses expect to add to the payroll in the year ahead. Confidence rebounds across the board For Q1 2016, confidence returned to the higher levels seen in mid 2015. A majority of companies are confident in the global state of affairs, while almost three-quarters have a positive perspective of the national situation, and more than eight in 10 report confidence in their economies closest to home. Most firms will invest The proportion of firms planning to invest appears stable at 63%. Plans for expansion, however, remain relatively muted with about a third of firms planning to introduce a new product or service or expand into new domestic markets over the next 12 months.

Effective resource management for distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems is hard due to their unique characteristics, including (1) constraints in multiple resources and (2) highly fluctuating resource availability and input workload. DRE systems can benefit from a middleware framework that enables adaptive resource management algorithms to ensure application QoS requirements are met. This paper identifies key challenges in designing and extending resource allocation algorithms for DRE systems. We present an empirical study of bin-packing algorithms enhanced to meet these challenges. Our analysis identifies input application patterns that help generate appropriate heuristics for using these algorithms effectively in DRE systems.

By Mr. Barry D Vorse (USACE)April 29, 2010
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Taking advantage of one of the most important international conferences on ports and dredging being held literally across the river from its offices, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District made great strides in letting the industry know of its involvement.
The American Society of Civil Engineers "Ports 2010" conference in April was attended by approximately 2,000 ports representatives from around the globe. The Jacksonville District team played a key role in the program.
In addition to the Jacksonville District's participation, Maj. Gen. Merdith W.B. (Bo) Temple, USACE deputy commanding general for civil and emergency operations, addressed the opening-day crowd and spoke of the Corps' cooperative efforts with the commercial world.
"We have a big program scattered all over the Atlantic, literally," Temple told the crowd. "We have a vision to become a great engineering organization. More can and will be done if we put our heads together and develop more integrated water solutions at the state, local and federal levels."
Jackie Keiser, chief of the dredging section of the Coastal, Navigation and Antilles Branch Project Management Division, said, "We had moderators and presenters involved on the first day of the conference. Jacksonville District had a strong presence at the conference and we were noticed by the other participants."
The district's participation at the conference was noted by the Jacksonville, Fla., Times-Union's environmental writer, Steve Patterson, in an in-depth story, which quoted district presenters on the Jacksonville Harbor project.
"New technology and lessons from old mistakes will help forecast environmental and financial costs of dredging Jacksonville's harbor before work begins," Patterson wrote after listening to three Corps seminar presenters.
Samantha Borer, Planning Division, served as moderator for a navigation and waterways seminar. Engineering Division's Tracey Leeser and Kelly Legault gave presentations on costs of deepening Jacksonville Harbor and modeling the Jacksonville Harbor project respectively. Dick Powell, Planning Division, presented planning options for the same project. Operations Division was also involved on the first day of the conference, as they offered tours and demonstrated the newly-installed hydrographic survey system on the district's survey vessel Florida, docked near the hotel. Giving the on-board tours and demonstrations were Rob Jenkins, civil engineering technician Lisa Holland, and boat captain Tony Maze.
"We stood out at the conference," Keiser said. "We are the lead in navigation in Florida and I believe we showed that during the event."
Other participants were equally as positive about the experience.
"The ports conference was vital to us because it brought worldwide success stories to our backyard," said Tim Murphy, Project Management Division. "We learned from the best on the planet."
"The ports conference allowed us a great opportunity to network and interact with the private sector in a way we seldom can," said Shelley Trulock, Project Management Division. "Our experiences in the conference gave us a better understanding of the wide variety of issues facing this industry and how they affect commerce."
"We in the Operations Division were really glad to take part in the conference with our survey vessel," said Lisa Holland. "It was a great chance to present the Corps' latest hydrographic survey capabilities right here where we operate on the St. Johns River."
Messages delivered by presenters also stressed the importance to the Jacksonville District of using the latest technical advances available.
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' mission in the Jacksonville Harbor project includes the latest cost estimating tool for each different type of dredge," said Tracy Leeser.
"We were asked for out-of-the-box thinking on this project and we responded accordingly."
Kelly Legault addressed an audience of about 70 in her seminar about designing the Jacksonville Harbor project.
"We are using the latest project design tools for the Jacksonville Harbor project," shesaid. "We need to fully understand the impacts of salinity on the project. That's where our modeling system will come into play and help us reach accurate conclusions."
