Debenhams said the biggest change to floor space in its history had given it greater control over its "own destiny", after it forecast a rise in annual profits.
The department store, which has 154 shops in the UK and Republic of Ireland, has moved 530,000 square feet of trading space away from concessions to its more profitable own-bought ranges – particularly Designers at Debenhams – over its fourth quarter to 29 August, although this disruption has dragged down its underlying sales.
Michael Sharp, Debenhams' deputy chief executive, said: "We moved that space because we have seen a strengthening of our sales and profit performance on own-bought and a weakening of concessions." For instance, Debenhams management were distracted sorting out problems related to the concessions backed by Icelandic banks, such as Principles, which collapsed into administration earlier this year.
While he did not refer to any brands, Mr Sharp said: "It gives us more control over our own destiny. We are less reliant on people running their businesses badly and it increases the exclusivity of Debenhams and improves margins, although the sales densities are lower [on own-bought]."
The department store said its Designer at Debenhams ranges, which include John Rocha and Jasper Conran, had continued to deliver "double digit" sales over the year, which helped to drive a gross margin uplift of 70 basis points.
The department store – which also has 52 international franchise stores, including in India, the Czech Republic and Saudi Arabia – yesterday confirmed it had added the designer Henry Holland to its stable of Designers at Debenhams. The H! by Henry Holland collection is aimed at shoppers aged between 17 and 25 years and will go into 60 stores and on its website next spring.
Own-bought ranges now make up about 80 per cent of Debenhams' products, but the disruptioncut its like-for-like sales – which strip out the impact of new space – by 3.8 per cent over the half-year, compared with adrop of 3.6 per cent for theyear. Tony Shiret, of Credit Suisse, said the 3.8 per cent fall in sales implied that like-for-likes were down by about 7 per cent in the fourth-quarter. But gross transaction value was up by 0.2 per cent for the year.
While Debenhams did not provide a figure, the City expects it to increase pre-tax profits to between £122m and £124m over the year to 29 August, a rise of as much as 13 per cent on last year's £110.1m. Mr Sharp said: "We think it is a very creditable set of results, particularly given that Debenhams' financial year coincided with the credit crunch, Lehman Brothers and everything else that has happened over the last year."
Debenhams – which in June raised £323m in a placing and open offer to take its debt pile off the agenda – said it had repurchased £61.4m of its debt at an average discount of 5.6 per cent at the year end. Matthew McEachran, an analyst at Singer Capital Markets, forecast that the department store's net debt was £596.6mon 29 August.
Looking ahead, Mr Sharp said Debenhams will be as promotional as last year in the run up to, andduring, the Christmas period,after a series of high-profile sales events last year. He added that these promotions tend to be planned six months in advance.
On the outlook for the sector, Mr Sharp said: "We are working on the basis that trading going forward will be as difficult as the last 12 months," adding that fear of unemployment was the factor most affecting consumer sentiment.
Sales counter: Waitrose powers ahead of rivals
Waitrose has again delivered the best sales in the grocery sector for the 12 weeks to 7 September, while Tesco continues to lag behind its rivals, according to TNS Worldpanel. The John Lewis Partnership-owned grocer posted barnstorming sales up by 11.2 per cent, driven by the launch of its Essential Waitrose value range in March.
The discounters Aldi and Lidl posted sales up by 8 per cent and 5.2 per cent respectively, much slower than their booming sales last year, said TNS.
Tesco's sales growth slowed to 4.6 per cent – behind the market growth of 5.2 per cent – despite a relaunch of its Clubcard loyalty scheme in August. The sales growth at the UK's biggest retailer is now less than half of Morrisons' 9.3 per cent, and also trails Asda's 7.8 per cent and Sainsbury's 7 per cent.
However, separate data from Nielsen for the same period indicated that Tesco's Clubcard 2 had boosted shoppers' spend per visit by up to 5 per cent.

Nolan enjoys Platt comparison
West Ham captain Kevin Nolan is revelling in his new tag of a modern-day David Platt as he looks to fire the Hammers towards a top-10 finish on their Barclays Premier League return.
- Related Content
|West Ham
|1 - 0
|A Villa
Nolan was compared to the former England midfielder by manager Sam Allardyce following his decisive goal in West Ham's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.
The 30-year-old was presented with a simple finish by Ricardo Vaz Te but what impressed Allardyce was his ability to "ghost into the box", to be in the right place at the right time.
"I have never heard the gaffer say that about me before but it is a compliment obviously as David was a great goalscorer throughout his career," Nolan said.
"I haven't modelled myself on him I must admit but I wouldn't mind his record of goalscoring when I eventually finish.
"I like the fact that it (goalscoring) has always been a big part of my game. Hopefully I can continue to pop up in the box, keep getting these little goals."
Nolan's goal came with a hint of controversy, with the Aston Villa players convinced Vaz Te had been offside when Mark Noble's free-kick fell to him.
The assistant referee Simon Long initially raised his flag but then changed his mind and Villa manager Paul Lambert accepted it was the right decision in the end.

Allardyce felt West Ham could have won by more. Carlton Cole had a penalty claim turned down and substitute Modibo Maiga saw a late shot cleared off the line.
At the back, West Ham contained Villa well. Darren Bent was never a threat as Hammers centre-back James Collins shone against the club he left just a fortnight ago.
"It's been a very, very good day for us because we won our first game of the season and kept a clean sheet as well," Allardyce said.
"A good start is so important to a team such as us because it helps secure your Premier position as early as possible.
"It takes the pressure off the players and the fans, and it makes everyone enjoy their football."
Nolan recognises this is just a start and he is realistic - next week West Ham travel across the River Severn to take on a Swansea side that scored five against QPR - but not unambitious.
"I think if we were given 17th place now, we would take it," Nolan said.
"But that is not taking anything away from what we think we can do this season.
"This year is about consolidating ourselves in the Premier League but you have to aim high and we want to aim high, to get close to 10th place as quickly as possible.
"If we get to safety as soon as is possible, then who knows where we can finish, how high we can finish?
"It is a big season for us. This is just the start.
"Hopefully we can go to Swansea and give a good account of ourselves there and come away with three points."
While Nolan and Allardyce were more than satisfied with their start, Lambert was understandably left frustrated from his first game in charge.
Villa enjoyed the better of the opening quarter but for all their possession they could not test Jussi Jaaskelainen in the West Ham net.
Lambert bemoaned the absence of Gabriel Agbonlahor as Bent lacked service, with Allardyce's statistics suggesting the England striker touched the ball only three times.
"We started well but it's all very well having lots of ball but not if you don't score," Lambert said.
"We need to be able to service Darren Bent. Losing Gaby (Agbonlahor) was a big blow to us before this game.
"You've got about three and a half milliseconds to hit the ground running in the Premiership."

wow great story, did he ever wake up from the nightmare? or did his family like try to help him but everything seemed murderous to him? i could really picture this!
Very vivid descriptions. You captured the paranoia after the nightmare. And you added a panic attack after that. It would be even more interesting if you put Connor in a mental ward, flashing images of black hooded wardens. But that's just my twisted mind talking.
psychotic! This was amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Write on!
I've started off every comment with wow because your writing is amazing.
This story is so descriptive, it's just crazy! Good writing on it, it is absolutely amazing.
Astounding piece of writing. The dream is described so well, and it actually had a nice surreal feeling to it.
the description after waking up is very vivid too. I loved love loved this. It's awesome!
(Sorry for my English) I would've used spoons... Or knives in combination with torches, but that's just me. Damn, that guy has got some paranoia issues XD Sucks that he almost broke every bone in his body, though. Did he think his family was taken over by those men in black? Because else there wasn't a reason to be afraid of his family. Men in black, yes, family, no. Anyway. The first part started off pretty weird. It seemed like some of the sentences were sort of double, and they repeated a lot. I kept thinking: That family should've died right now. So much blood. The insanity was done amazingly. All I could think was F*ck... That's a serious panic attack right there. Some grammar mistake here and there, but that was it. Sorry for commenting on all your old stuff... Cheers :3
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it a lot! This piece is so old I don't even remember why or what I wrote it for, so I'm sorry it was kind of wacky and wild - I was obviously trying to get something exciting and scary out but I didn't have the grace or skill to do so very well :P

Recently, there have been many reports about the plight of Syrian refugees and of the 12,000 refugees who will be arriving on our shores. If you have been wondering what you can do as an individual, family, parish or school to identify and respond to the needs of humanitarian migrants, then read below for a list of suggestions. If you would like to donate money or provide accommodation for a Syrian family, please visit the main Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP Syrian Refugee Appeal page on the CatholicCare website. Whatever you choose to do, remember to talk to your local priest, friends, teachers and fellow Catholics about your plans – they might like to work with you.
Let's join together to welcome the strangers amongst us!
A sincere, generous welcome
Catholic parishes are keenly placed to welcome the stranger in our midst. Our principles and values give rise to our shared interest in providing a warm, welcoming space for others, particularly the vulnerable, those in need and those who are on the periphery of our communities. These principles include: the inherent dignity of the individual person; the importance of standing in solidarity with those in need; the care of God's creation; and the common good. Moreover, practicing hospitality to guests, whether they be strangers or fellow parishioners is a key element of a thriving parish. Over time, the consideration shown is reciprocated and we all grow and learn from the experience of supporting one another. As Pope Francis recently stated:
Each of us is responsible for his or her neighbour: we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, wherever they live. Concern for fostering good relationships with others and the ability to overcome prejudice and fear are essential ingredients for promoting the culture of encounter, in which we are not only prepared to give, but also to receive from others. Hospitality, in fact, grows from both giving and receiving.
From this perspective, it is important to view migrants not only on the basis of their status as regular or irregular, but above all as people whose dignity is to be protected and who are capable of contributing to progress and the general welfare. This is especially the case when they responsibly assume their obligations towards those who receive them, gratefully respecting the material and spiritual heritage of the host country, obeying its laws and helping with its needs….
At the heart of the Gospel of mercy the encounter and acceptance by others are intertwined with the encounter and acceptance of God himself. Welcoming others means welcoming God in person! Do not let yourselves be robbed of the hope and joy of life born of your experience of God's mercy, as manifested in the people you meet on your journey!
– quote from the Message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2016
Learn & Reflect
Our first step in welcoming others to our parishes is to learn more about them, their needs and the circumstances in which they have come to our shores. Click on the links below to read information from reputable organisations.
- Australian Catholic Social Justice Council, particularly the 2015 – 2016 Social Justice Statement, entitled 'For Those Who've Come Across the Seas'
- Refugee Council of Australia
- Edmund Rice Centre Asylum Seekers & Refugees Education Resource: Activities for Students
- Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office
- United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)
- Jesuit Refugee Service Australia
- Australian Churches Refugee Task Force
- Amnesty International Australia
- Research on the Economic, social and civic contributions of first and second generation humanitarian entrants from the National Centre for Social Applications of Geographical Information Systems, University of Adelaide
It is also worthwhile seeking out the personal stories of people who have fled their homelands and found refuge in Australia, whether this is in documentaries, podcasts, web articles or at an event where people are speaking about their own lived experience as a refugee. These generally provide rich and fruitful opportunities to learn about their journey and understand how we might better receive those who resettle in our communities. You can find written stories about the experience of refugees & asylum seekers online from the following websites.
- 'Stories' from the House of Welcome
- 'Success Stories' from Settlement Services International
- Various stories from the Jesuit Refugee Service Australia website
- UNHCR document 'Refugees: Telling Their Stories 2005'
- 'Refugee Stories' from Researchers for Asylum Seekers (affiliated with the School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne)
- 'Personal Stories' from the Refugee Council of Australia
Having learned more about the journeys of refugees, it is important to take the time to pray, reflect and develop a compassionate, tender heart. As Pope Francis suggested, we all need the ability to weep and to grieve for the souls who never made it to shore and the trauma experienced in the journeys of those seeking refuge. In prayer we can also seek guidance and give thanks for the safe arrival of those who have travelled a perilous journey to our shores. Below is a list of online prayer resources you might find helpful.
- A Prayer for Justice for Refugees & Asylum Seekers from the ACSJC
- Prayer for One Human Family from the Australian Catholic Migrant & Refugee Office
- A Movement of the Heart – A Novena of Prayer for 9 Days from the Catholic Justice & Peace Commission of the Archdiocese of Brisbane
- 'A theological reflection on the situation of refugees and asylum seekers: Justin Glynn SJ' from the Conference of Leaders of Religious Institutes NSW
- Prayers for Migrants, Refugees & Asylum-Seekers from Ignatian Solidarity
- The Rosary of Migrants and Itinerant People from Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People
- ACSJC Social Justice Sunday Liturgy Notes 2015-16
Vigil for Those Who've Come Across the Seas: The Justice & Peace Office invite you to attend the upcoming evening on 2 December 2015. The Vigil will include lived-experience stories, along with prayer, scripture, discussion and time for reflection.
Consult, Collaborate & Prepare
It is important to talk to others about the issues that matter to you. You might like to ask others about their views on what kind of community they would like to live in and be part of. What role does acceptance, leadership and generosity play in your vision—and theirs? Now is the time to start thinking how those characteristics could best be demonstrated in your parish.
You can always contact your local parish priest, not only to seek help in your spiritual life, but to discuss your interest in welcoming others to the parish. Do you know whether your parish has a social justice group or something similar? If so, consider contacting the group and introducing yourself. They might already be working on these issues. If your parish hasn't already established a social justice group, then discuss the possibility of setting one up with your parish priest and fellow parishioners. We have resources to help you set up a group, which can be found on the Justice & Peace Office website. These include: a booklet entitled 'Toward A Social Justice Group' and online resources for social justice groups.
One way to encourage a broader conversation within the parish is to create an event to discuss how best to welcome refugees. Such an event could be:
- An informal chat at a morning tea or evening barbeque;
- An organised table-talk or round-table discussion; or
- A meeting of a pre-existing society or group (such as a social justice group) within the parish.
These events could be held immediately after Mass. You might also like to invite a speaker to talk at the gathering. Please contact the Justice & Peace Office for ideas and contacts – we are here to support your efforts!
Building relationships is an important aspect of life within a parish. There are many ways you might choose to do this. For example, by joining networks of people who are already active in this area & working to support their efforts through fundraising or volunteering. Some organisations working in the area already include:Catholic Alliance for
- People Seeking Asylum (CAPSA)
- House of Welcome (Sydney)
- Jesuit Refugee Service Australia
- Sisters of Mercy
- Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education
- St Vincent de Paul Society
- Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart
- Franciscan Missionaries of Mary Refugee & Pastoral Care
When people walk or drive past your parish grounds, what do they see? Look around your parish and decide if you and your fellow parishioners could contribute to creating a welcoming place for others. Ideas some parishes have implemented include:
- Placing a banner on the outside of the parish gates, as the Social Justice Group did at St Benedicts in Broadway for Social Justice Sunday recently.
- Holding a gardening day, where parishioners joined in to make the landscape more inviting, as Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP is in the picture below, at a recent day at St Fiacre's in Leichardt.
- Making a regular contribution in some way to existing efforts to support those in need.
Consider, too, what music and prayers you include in your Mass. Is it possible to include: hymns familiar to refugee Christians attending Mass; the concerns and prayers of refugees in the Prayers of the Faithful?
Also, how might you consider celebrating or raising awareness on particular occasions in 2016 such as the World Day of Migrants and Refugees this coming January 17, 2016. Pope Francis has already prepared and made available his Message the World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2016, which you can read. In an article about the upcoming Day, the the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Travelers was quoted as stating: "The theme's reference to "the Gospel of mercy," the council said, aims "explicitly to tie the phenomenon of migration to the response of the world and, especially, of the church. In this context, the Holy Father invites the Christian people to reflect during the jubilee year on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, which includes welcoming the stranger." You might also like to create an event to celebrate the feast days of St Francis Xavier Cabrini or St John Baptist Scalabrini.
Welcome & care for others
Consider creating an event within your parish or by joining with a nearby parish to welcome individuals and families who have newly arrived. For example, Joining the Dots, a non-profit organisation runs the Welcome Dinner Project, in which interested parishioners can hold a facilitated pot-luck dinner with those who have newly arrived in their area.
Look for opportunities to celebrate the contribution of migrants and the gift of diversity within your parish. Your parish could also hold a fundraising event. For example:
- A music concert
- A sponsored walk
- A sporting event
- A cake stall or barbeque after Mass.
It is worthwhile reassessing already existing events for opportunities to bring together those who are resettling with those who are already well-established in your area. You could extend invitations to parish picnics, barbeques or school fetes and other events that are already planned.
Attending events at other parishes, too (check the Justice & Peace Office website for upcoming events) can also be very enjoyable. Don't forget to introduce yourself at these events and ask for advice from the organisers of the event, if needed. Welcoming meals are held by other organisations, such as Settlement Services International's Community Kitchen and you might be able to join these events.
Many refugees have experienced trauma and severe hardship and face particular challenges once they arrive. Perhaps you can create a welcoming space for them to feel at home by: establishing a friendship group; a class to learn new skills; or inviting people to outings or other events normally enjoyed by parishioners. Good examples are the SPARK programs run by the St Vincent de Paul Society. Holding introductory tours of your local suburb can help those newly arrived to orient themselves in their new life. They might also like to join existing groups in your parish, such as sporting, music, prayer or play groups for young children.
Part of making people who have newly settled in your parish welcome is letting them know their contribution would be valued & encouraging them to contribute. You can invite them to working bees and to become an active part of existing projects in the parish. People resettling in your area will have skills and experience that are valuable. Starting out, however, adults resettling may not have up-to-date resumes or a list of referees who can speak for them. Instead of donating, might your business or employer (or one you have ties to) be able to offer work to someone if they are unemployed and help to give them a good start in your community?
Finally, contributing to the public discussion about issues affecting refugees might suit you, too. One way to work on issues is through Sydney Alliance, which is a coalition of faith-based, union and community interest groups working together for the common good. The Alliance recently lobbied the NSW Government for transport concessions for asylum seekers. You can read about the success here and here.
You might also choose to write letters to or make appointments with political representatives and share your views with them. Alternatively, you might choose to invite your local politician to an event at your parish or school.
There are many different ways you can welcome and include humanitarian migrants with sincerity and generosity. Depending on your own personal circumstances and those of your parish and school, some choices might be more practical than others. Whatever you choose, the Justice and Peace Office is just a phone call or click away on your journey to prepare for and welcome the stranger amongst us!

Michigan State competed against Wisconsin at home this past Sunday. Welcome to B1G Ten Soccer Weekly, your one source for the best news, analysis, predictions, and passion for the beautiful collegiate game. Let your voice be heard as we create the most exciting and informative place for collegiate soccer fans. Indiana: After a surprising home loss to Michigan, the Hoosiers bounced back on Wednesday evening cruising to a 2-0 victory versus Evansville. The 16th ranked Indiana squad will travel to East Lansing for their final road match of the season. (Latest Result vs Evansville W 2-0, Next at Michigan State 10/28) Penn State: Beginning with their home victory against Michigan State on October 14th, the Nittany Lions have won three straight including a statement victory against defending champion Northwestern in double overtime. At 3-1-1 Penn State now stand alone atop of the Big Ten with 10 points. (Latest Result at Northwestern W 1-0 (2OT), Next versus Ohio State 10/28) Northwestern: The Wildcats lost their first Big Ten contest in two seasons in double overtime versus Penn State. Northwestern dropped to third place in the conference, tied with Indiana at 9 points. On Wednesday they lost in overtime again in a 1-0 differential to Northern Illinois. (Latest Result versus Northern Illinois L 1-0 (OT), Next at Wisconsin 10/28) Wisconsin: The Badgers also bounced back after a Big Ten loss defeating UMKC 2-0 at home at the McClimon Complex. Wisconsin is out of the regular season title race, but their next result against Northwestern will have impact on who the eventual winner is. (Latest Result versus UMKC W 2-0, Next versus Northwestern 10/28) Ohio State: The Buckeyes hope to finish their season on a positive note as they will also have a significant impact on the Big Ten title race. After a 2-1 home victory versus Wright State, Ohio State was unable to score against in-state rival Akron in a 1-0 defeat. (Latest Results versus Akron L 1-0, Next at Penn State 10/28) Michigan: After battling Akron tough, Michigan finally defeated a ranked opponent on October 19th at Indiana in a 2-1 result. Unfortunately the Wolverines were unable to cap on their good form and fell 2-0 at home to Bowling Green in mid week. Michigan is still in the title run but will need help from rivals Ohio State to defeat Penn State. (Latest Result vs Bowling Green L 2-0, Next versus Valparaiso 10/27) Michigan State: The Spartans seem to be coming into form at the most crucial time of the year winning four out of their past five games. If Michigan State wants to make a title run they will need to take care of business against Indiana and Michigan to close the conference season. (Latest Result versus Wisconsin W 2-0, Next versus Indiana 10/28) Aired on Big Ten Network: Northwestern at Wisconsin (10/28 1pm) Game of the Week (Indiana at Michigan State 10/28 @ 1pm) With the Big Ten season coming to a close each result is crucial for three points. Five teams are still mathematically in the running and the Spartans will need to win their final two Big Ten matches to even compete for first place. The Hoosiers sit in second place, a point behind Penn State, and will look to claim their 12th Big Ten Championship beginning with a road win in East Lansing. A victory for Indiana will set up a tantalizing season ending fixture on November 1st versus defending champion Northwestern.

Parish schools meeting digital goals
MORGAN CITY, La. -- The St. Mary Parish school system is making strides toward being technology ready for the 2014-15 school year, when all state assessments will be moving online.
St. Mary Parish is one of 38 districts meeting the 7:1 student-to-computer requirement and one of 13 districts meeting the increased Internet bandwidth minimum technology standards required by the state before the 2014-15 school year.
The Louisiana Department of Education recently released the third Louisiana Believes: Louisiana's Technology Footprint for St. Mary Parish. The footprint was created in conjunction with the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers Consortium and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
These organizations were contracted by the Louisiana Department of Education to develop online assessments that will be given to students in grades three to 12 beginning in the 2014-15 school year. The footprint documents the district's baseline technology readiness for this project and provides technology targets to meet readiness goals for devices, network infrastructure and Internet bandwidth.
The report warns that although St. Mary Parish has met minimum technology specifications and a 7:1 student-to-computer ratio, this ratio and device technical specification is neither sufficient for state End of Course testing in 2013-14 nor PARCC testing after that. The district needs to work toward upgrading and procuring devices that meet the recommended device specifications and that meet the 5:1 student-to-computer ratio for testing at all of its schools sites. To achieve the 5:1 ratio, St. Mary Parish will need to acquire an additional 457 recommended computers.
The school system will be asking for the release of $400,000 in technology reserve funds for the purchase of the computers.
Superintendent Donald Aguillard said that for St. Mary Parish's footprint, the technology department reported only computers that would be available for testing groups of students at each school. Computers located in classrooms for teacher and student use were not included. The footprint report, released every six months, shows that St. Mary Parish schools required an additional 179 computers to meet the minimum 7:1 students-to-computer requirement earlier this year.
As part of its preparations for the increased technology demands of the online assessments, the St. Mary Parish School Board installed a new wide-area network and increased its Internet bandwidth during the summer months, Aguillard said. By leveraging E-rate funding, the district was able to provide this increased Internet bandwidth at a reduced cost, he added.
However, these steps are only a start, Aguillard said, adding "preparing for online assessments requires more than computers and network connectivity. Additional facility resources — including classroom space, furniture, wiring and electrical power capacity — will be needed at district schools."
A greater concern reported in the footprint, Aguillard said, relates to staff readiness in technology support. Recent additions of desktop computers, laptops and tablets already are straining the limited Help Desk technicians who provide hardware support, he said.
Even more dramatic is the increased need for instructional technology assistance for classrooms teachers at each school site. Teachers will need support and training in order to provide students with technology-rich classroom tasks and assessments, as well as troubleshooting hardware, software and network issues, the superintendent said.
The Louisiana Technology Footprint provides a roadmap for the St. Mary Parish School Board and its efforts to meet the state requirements for online assessments by 2014.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 168 reviews
It was conveniet, but the beds wasn't fixed, we ask for double bed but we get a twin bed that move each time you move
We booked this hotel specifically because it boasted of a fitness center. There is NO FITNESS CENTER! There are a few broken exercise machines in a large mirrored room off of the lobby. You cannot workout with any of the equipment. We ended up going to a gym a mile down the road to work out at.
This hotel was delightful and the staff were super friendly. It is in a nice safe and quiet neighborhood that is more residential than tourist. There are a few local bars and basic restaurants nearby. Breakfast was excellent, but you need to take a cab or bus to downtown. I would still consider staying again as the employees were so nice and they upgraded us to a jr suite at no charge.
Very friendly staff and responsive front desk; good breakfast for 8 euros which we bought when we booked the room with lots of fresh fruit; however wifi failed on the last day and lots of guests were milling around the lobby unable to work
A great place to stay near the airport for late arrival or early departure. It is located near highway to Granada or Cadiz/Malaga. We had late arrival and Isabel at front desk was exceptionally helpful with our arrival after midnight with a jet lagged toddler! The breakfast buffet was an excellent value and highly recommended before a full day of site seeing or driving...

Dec. 23. At the Daily Kos, Vet 4 Dean reacts to discussion at Blog For America, the Dean campaign's main gig:
Earlier today on DFA, there was a good bit of discussion of the latest piece of "journalism" committed by Ms. Jodi Wilgoren in the NY Times.
Well, I decided it was time to lose my blogging virginity and created The Wilgoren Watch.
Dec. 23. And he does. The Wilgoren Watch: "Dedicated to deconstructing the New York Times coverage of Howard Dean's campaign for the White House." (The inaugural post.)
Dec. 28. At Steve Gilliard's News Blog, Gilliard says he has had enough: Time to Take the Gloves Off:
The media in America lives in a dual world, one where they want to hold people accountable, yet flip out when people do the same to them…
I think it would be a really, really good idea to track reporters, word for word, broadcast for broadcast, and print the results online. Not just for any one campaign or cause, but to track people's reporting the way we track other services….
Keeping score of who's right and wrong, how many times they repeat cannards like Al Gore invented the Internet and make obvious errors. Not accusations of ideology, but actual data and facts.
Dec. 30. Reacting to Gilliard's idea, Atrios gives it a second. Hardball: "We should have an 'adopt a journalist' program. As Steve suggets, people should choose a journalist, follow everything they write, archive all their work, and critique and contextualize it where appropriate."
Dec. 30. Atrios returns to the subject, noting that the Wilgoren Watch already exists: "I'm not going to organize this but feel free to forward on links. I'll set up a special blogroll section." But he cautions:
…ideally whoever does this shouldn't just be doing instant reaction. I'm thinking of archiving all of their work (on your hard drive – copyright and all), and really tracing through and providing context for all their work. This includes talking heads appearances, too.
Dec. 30. Ex Lion Tamer: "Gilliard's Modest Proposal."
Dec. 30. See Why? "Eschaton has a cool idea."
Dec. 31. At Liberal Pride, an Adopt-a-Journalist Forum is created, "to facilitate the project that was conceived at Eschaton."
Jan. 1. Shadow of the Hegemon: "I'd like to see two versions of it."
The first is that it should be per-journalist. I think that makes sense, and will provide a real impetus to change when the journo figures out that the only way to get this guy off his back is to stop pandering to the right.
The other idea is a per-issue focus, where specific falsehoods like "Al Gore created the internet" are targeted.
I don't think these two are incompatible. What would be most useful is if those who were focusing on specific falsehoods create "falsehood FAQs…"
Jan 3. PressThink on horse race journalism: "Meanwhile, the weblog world is starting to stir a bit with the idea of monitoring individual campaign reporters. (But for what?)…"
Jan. 5. Halley of Halley's Comment in the comments at PressThink: "I especially liked the idea of bloggers tracking reporters (per Steve Gilliard) and anticipating what they will say. Their no-story reporting style is lamentably obsolete."
Jan. 6. Pipeline: "Look for the way they use various labels for unnamed sources to insert their own ideas and biases into stories. David Brooks isn't really a reporter, but I feel like I'm covering his columns every day they come out, so maybe I'll adopt him."
Jan 6. Reporter Alan Judd of the Atlanta Constitution emails PressThink: "The idea of 'tracking' individual campaign reporters–as on Wilgoren Watch–is absurd. The people behind such efforts would be satisified with nothing other than stories effusively praising Howard Dean and blasting Bush as the great satan. What they advocate isn't press criticism, it's stalking."
Jan. 9. Wilogren Watch, "Welcome Ms. Wilogren: "…my little blog has attracted 16 'regulars' who have signed up for the Yahoo Group! e-mail list to be notified of new posts. Including, it seems, one Ms. Jodi Wilgoren from the NYTimes. Welcome, Ms. Wilgoren."
A Reference Point. The Charen Watch has been in existence since Jan. 17, 2003. Mission statement:
Powered by Sidelines
Mona Charen is a Media Whore.
What exactly is a media whore? A "journalist" in name only, perfectly willing without any hesitation to distort, obfuscate, exaggerate, skew, or hide the Truth to advance their personal views or agendas….
Charen Watch is a site devoted solely to critiquing Ms. Charen as her work is posted bi-weekly from the Creators Syndicate site.

Earth Day Stories April 21, 2016
Tomorrow is officially Earth Day and while it has already revealed some of its efforts, Apple this evening has uploaded a new video to its YouTube channel highlighting its green initiatives. The ad, entitled "iMessage – Renewable Energy," highlights the company's renewable energy efforts and encourages every one to "show some love for the earth."
Earth Day Stories April 18, 2016
Earth Day Stories April 15, 2016
Yesterday Apple kicked off two campaigns to promote Earth Day next week, and today Apple Stores around the world are going green to signal support. The leaf portion of the Apple logo that hovers above the entrance of each Apple Store shifts from white to green around Earth Day each year, and this year we're seeing those leaflets illuminate green a full week in advance. Apple Stores are observing Earth Day in other ways this year too…
Earth Day Stories April 22, 2015
As part of Apple's push for a greener environment, the company has changed up its physical signage outside Apple Stores around the world to celebrate Earth Day. The updated logos are mostly the same but the leaf section is tinted green. The celebration can be seen at Apple Stores worldwide.
Apple has also put the Apple logo with the green adornments in some places online, such as on its YouTube account. Apple's homepage is currently dominated by its environmental initiatives for the occasion, with the launch of Apple Watch relegated to one of the smaller summary panels.

I don't know if anybody's
staying here.
I took a shower here, man.
They have the hottest water I've
ever experienced.
I mean, I like a hot shower, but
this is ridiculous.
I'm all lathered up, you know,
in my shower, and I hear the
scariest sound you can hear in a
hot shower.
I hear my next door neighbor's
toilet flush.
( laughter )
Oh, you know that feeling,
You're all lathered up.
( imitating toilet flushing )
( laughter )
And I remember I looked down and
my hootie-hoo looked up at me.
( laughter )
And my hootie-hoo went,
( screams )
I didn't even know my hootie-hoo
could make a noise.
( laughter )
He just stood there screaming.
( screams )
And I'm thinking, "Oh, my God,
I've got less than a millisecond
before lava comes out of there."
( laughter )
And there's no room to run in
the shower.
You're just...
( imitating shower )
You're just trying to make sure
you don't get any hot water on
your hootie-hoo.
( laughter )
Because you can't blow on that.
You can't.
Because if you could none of us
would be at work the next

Turn to Prats Box, Page 9 New Braunfels-MacArthur game one for the ages Two days after the fact, last Saturday's triple-overtime game between the Unicorns and Brahmas looks just as impressive as it was just after it ended. You remember, right? How MacArthur quarterback Mike Perkins gave it one last shot on fourth-down and goal from the 7-yard line. How Unicom senior Chad Wehe covered Joey Johnson, who scored Mac Arthur's first touchdown on a 55-yard pass from Perkins nearly three hours earlier. Tom Erickson How Johnson briefly made contact with the ball, then collapsed to the ground. How Wehe leaped into the arms of fellow senior Justin Vogt and the Unicorns went into a frenzy, dancing and leaping all over the plastic grass at Alamo Stadium. But what stands out stronger that the pass, the near catch or the celebration was what happened next. Both teams lined up and shook hands, as the Unicorns put their celebration on hold for several minutes. This wasn't your average monotone repetition of "good game," though. It was quite different. MacArthur senior J.J. Budd looked New' Braunfels quarterback square in the eyes and said, "Congratulations an^good luck." Kingsbury looked right back at Budd and offered a similar message. Not bad for two teams that really don't like each other. After all, it was MacArthur that handed the Unicorns their only loss of the regular season and it was New Braunfels which won the District 26-5A title the Brahmas coveted all year long. Still, something happened between the first and third overtime periods that gave the game a classic twist and put it at the top of the list of all-time great contests in this region. New Braunfels coach Tim Kingsbury had a similar observation on Monday. "We were very fortunate to win," he said. "It was a great effort from both teams, and to me, that's what high school football is all about — both teams giving it their all and leaving it on the field." And while the Unicorns were happy to walk away from the game with a victory, that didn't .Seem to matter when both teams met at midfield and exchanged greetings. Both teams knew they had been a part of something special. Something they could remember long after the season ends and the years roll on. Something the could recall and smile about at reunions IO, 20 or 30 years from now. Something that was unforgettable.

But that didn t keep Sew Braunfels from feeling gi>*»d about what it accomplished after being shut down by MacArthur in the first half C oach Tim Kingsbury said while he didn't push the panic button atter being down 14-0 at halftime, he felt like the Unicom offense could do much better than the 36 yards and two first down*, it had after 24 minutes "It takes us a while to get adjusted, and I wasn't totally surprised with that," he said "I was disappointed that we couldn't move the hall better The defense staved on the field longer, so we had to make most of our adjustments there." Kingsbury said those changes included moving away from the draw and screen packages and shirting to a no-huddle offense on the first of the second half, which produced a touchdown pass from quarterback kilt! Kingsbury to Joel Tienda. "There wasn't anything major we changed on offense," he said "It was just a matter of adjusting to what they were doing We added one or two new wrinkles and just adjusted to the tempo of the game and their offense." Bul perhaps w hat nude the difference in the second half was the play of the Swarm, which held Mac Arthur's offense to 113 yards and five first downs in the final 24 minutes and the overtime pernxis. "We wouldn't be where we .ire without a good defense," Tim Kingsburv said. "They came out in the second halt and basically shut MacArthur out and got a turnover that gave us the possibility to win it in regulation" C had Wehe's interception, hie Unicorns' second of the game, set up a 42-yard field goal attempt by kliff' Kingsbury which missed to the right Yet the Unicorns (13-1) scored two touchdowns in the three overtime periods for the 29-21 victory and a date in the state semifinals wuh Aliet" Hastings (13-1) " This game was a lot of fun to be a part of and watch," Tim Kingsbury said.

The deal, one of the first multi-year contracts awarded at SWT, will replace the current two-year contract DeBesse signed wt.cn he was hired in Dec. 1996 The new contract will go into effect Jan. I. "This is extremely flattering to he given a new contract arter one season. DeBesse said. "The fact is our record is not what we hat! hoped for, but it was clear to everyone inured that tin: team is heading in the right directum and looking to continue to build Bobcat Pride throughout the program." Southwest Texas finished the 1997 season at 5-6 overall and 2-4 in the Southland Football League. Five of the six losses carn* to nationally-ranked teams, three of which advanced to the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs. In addition, the Bobcats played in front of more Sports Briefs fans in 1997 than any year since 1984. SWT averaged 10,041 fans over a six-game home schedule "With the approval of our Board of Regents, this is a monumental step in the Southwest Texas Department of Athletics," Alden said. "Before we offered a two-year contract to our football coach last December, multi-year contracts had not been a reality at Southwest Texas.

He will begin his appointment next Turn to Britts, Page 9 NFL Panthers rough up Cowboys IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Carolina Panthers unceremoniously ended the Dallas Cowboys' five-year reign as NFC East champion. Kerry Collins threw two touchdown passes, and Fred Lane rushed for 138 yards Monday night as the Panthers stayed alive in the NFC wild-card race and all but eliminated the Cowboys with a 23-13 victory. Carolina evened its record at 7-7 while Dallas dropped to 6-8. With two games left, the Cowboys have only an outside chance of making the playoffs for a seventh consecutive year. The New York Giants have an 8-5-1 record in the NFC East, and Dallas can't catch them. The Panthers have ended the Cowboys' hopes twice in the last year. Carolina knocked Dallas out of the NFL title contention with a 26-17 victory on Jan. 5 in the NFC divisional playoffs. Collins, who suffered a concussion last week, hit key passes while Lane kept Dallas oft'balance with his hard runs despite the presence of tackle Leon Lett, w ho made tome spectacular plays in his first game back after a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Collins, who threw a 15-yard TD pass to Rae Carruth in the second quarter, guided Carolina on a 69-yard drive to open the second half. Thai put the Panthers ahead 17-6. He completed passes of 13 yards to Anthony Johnson. 18 yards to Muhsin Muhammad, and finally found Scott Greene on a I-yard touchdown pass. John Kasay then hit a 40-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter, making it 20-6. He also had an 18-yarder with 53 seconds left to finish oft" the Cowboys Troy Aikman hit Michael Irvin with a 52-yard touchdown to put Dallas within seven points with 6:33 left. However, with a four-and-1 on the Carolina 45, Aikman was trapped for a 25-yard loss by safety Chad Cota with 3:27 left. The Panthers dominated the first half to take a 10-6 lead over the Cowboys, who lost running back Emmitt Smith after he reinjured his left shoulder trying to make a block. Tight end Enc Bjomson also fractured his left shin. Collins, who fractured a jaw in the preseason and suffered a concussion last week, hit Carruth for the TD after Kasay had kicked a 34-yard field goal. The only Dallas points in the first half came on field goals of 45 and 32 yards by Richie Cunningham, his 32rul and 33rd of the season to break the club record of 32 by Chm Bemol in 19%. It was the first time Dallas coach Barry Switzer had ever been part of a three-game losing streak in college or the paw, a span of 259. Dallas hadn't lost three games in a row since 1990. Carolina lost cornerback Erie Davis late in the fourth quarter when his helmet hit the knee of running back Sherman Williams. Davis left on a stretcher, and his injuries were not immediately determined ;
