Many scholars whose research might take them to Cuba have cheered the Obama administration's moves to loosen the rules on travel to the country. But professors at public universities in Florida will have to keep waiting. A Florida law bars public university professors or students from travel to any country in the Western hemisphere that is on the U.S. government's list of nations supporting terrorism. Even though President Obama has now removed Cuba from that list, The Miami Herald reported, the board that oversees Florida's universities has asserted that the ban remains in place until there are full diplomatic relations with Cuba. But the Herald reviewed the law and found no such provision. Some faculty members say that the state board is simply trying to block their travel to Cuba.
Do prestigious law degrees really matter? Yes, according to a new study from Chris Rider, assistant professor of business strategy at Georgetown University, and Giacomo Negro, associate professor of organization and management at Emory University. The authors studied the career paths of 224 law firm partners after their prominent firm failed and found that while as a group the partners were likely to accept new positions of lower status elsewhere, their individual success largely depended on where they'd earned their law degrees.
According to the study, published in Organizational Science, law partners who graduated from the most prestigious law schools were least likely to lose professional status as a result of the collapse of their firm -- likely because they were able to draw on a strong professional network and appeal more to clients to find new work. Quality and productivity, at least as measured by the graduates' precollapse compensation, wasn't a factor, the authors say. That's because the graduates of the most prestigious schools were not necessarily the highest paid. An abstract is available here.

Once the rockets are up
Who cares where they come down.
"That's not my department,"
Says Werner Von Braun
-- Tom Lehrer
This is not the best of times for faculty members. Many of the problems they face are beyond their control. And yet there are some they can address, especially if they are fortunate enough not to belong to the growing numbers of non-tenure-track, part-time, contingent faculty, but to those who can reasonably expect a secure future in the academy.
First and foremost is how they can transcend the barriers dividing them in finding the best way to serve their students, coming together not just as scholars in the same field and comrades in arms against administrators they perceive as soulless, but as a community of teachers. How can they achieve this by expanding their concept of what is, in fact, "their department"?
For one thing, how might they expand their thinking about the goals of their disciplinary departments themselves? For another, how can they go beyond a focus on their respective departments to contribute to the mission of the wider institution of which they are a part (and which, by the way, pays their salaries)?
We might begin by asking: Are faculty members taking an overly provincial approach, both intellectually and professionally, to their respective departmental programs? Insofar as an undergraduate major is focused on what a student will need to enter a graduate program, it is more properly seen as vocational training than as an integral part of a liberal arts education. Majors with relatively heavy requirements lead to a level of specialization that may be desirable for some students, but unnecessary and premature for others, many of whom will never seek a graduate degree in the field of their major. It is always possible to serve the interests of those heading to graduate school in the field by providing special curricular enhancements.
Faculty members should also consider how undergraduate departmental majors can connect more organically with one another and with the wider curriculum of the institution. This interest is not served simply by creating new interdisciplinary programs, since too often these have simply resulted in a proliferation of departmentlike entities and have failed to create greater intellectual coherence in the undergraduate experience as a whole. So, for example, in the place of separate ethnic studies programs and departments, one might instead see greater multicultural sophistication in the United States history curriculum, not to mention stronger collegial ties among faculty -- and hence students -- in the departments of history, anthropology, sociology and literature. The outcome might also yield a course or courses deemed desirable for all undergraduates.
If, in the spirit of John Donne, we wish to believe that no department is an island entire of itself, that every department is a piece of the main, we are no longer in a position to follow Donne's next move and argue that if a single program be washed away (presumably, by the administration), the institution is less. As an institution continues to add programs without ever subtracting any, the curriculum comes to take on the aspect of a zombie movie in which the living cohabit with the undead and much frantic bumping into one another ensues.
On occasions when faculty come together for the lengthy, intensive process of an institution-wide "curriculum review," the outcome too rarely justifies the time and energy expended. (I believe comparative research would show that, in general, the more elite the institution, the more modest the results.) Aside from their ritual dimension, such processes commonly involve the kind of logrolling especially familiar to political scientists, in which faculty members approach "general" or "distributional" requirements in terms of how their respective departmental interests are being served.
And yet, there have been some curriculum reviews that actually aim to make the student experience intellectually coherent, providing room for varying interests and passions while creating a student community that reflects the mission and identity of the institution. And apparently succeed in doing so. Some of us in the foundation world have been in a position to encourage this process, supporting those who are doing the real work.
How might graduate programs also better serve their students' interests? Leaving aside the question of preparing graduate students for careers outside the academy altogether, graduate programs need to consider preparing them for the range of institutions within the universe of higher education in which they may find themselves. This means focusing on preparing students as teachers and not just as researchers, especially since their students' chances of getting positions in research universities are clearly shrinking (though, even in such universities, better preparation as teachers would stand them in good stead).
Given that teaching assistantships are an important way of financially supporting graduate students, departmental faculty must decide whether they are viewing those students as junior colleagues or as cheap labor. This choice clearly influences how graduate students see themselves, as well as how well equipped they are for their working lives after graduation. Is responsibility for helping them develop as teachers being farmed out to teaching and learning "centers," which are all too often teaching and learning "peripheries"? Or are there the strong collaborative ties between such centers and departmental faculty that are essential to the professional development of graduate students?
Some graduate programs are stepping up to this particular plate; more need to do so. Perhaps one way of getting their attention is to present them with the following choice: either (1) broaden the graduate program to properly prepare admitted students for a wider range of careers in higher education and beyond, or (2) limit the number of admitted students to those who are either likely to find jobs in research universities or who are interested in graduate education for its own sake and harbor no expectations about how the program will advance their future careers. Departments choosing the second option would have to find other ways for senior faculty members to occupy their time, which might possibly involve teaching undergraduates.
To put these two options in terms of reproductive biology, some species follow what is termed the R-selection strategy, in which a large number of offspring are produced and few are expected to survive. On the other hand, species that pursue the K-selection strategy produce fewer offspring but invest in them heavily, which results in their relatively high survival rate. Graduate departments, being (generally) composed of human beings, should presumably follow the strategy characteristic of our species.
And if, to continue the biological metaphor, we take note that evolutionary theory in general has come to emphasize cooperation as well as competition, we want to be sure that academics, as a population, are not so focused on departmental rivalries and individual career ambitions that they fail to have a sufficient regard for the common good.
A final point: the case for tenure is most commonly made in terms of academic freedom, which is certainly important. But the argument for tenure would be further strengthened if tenure were seen to reflect a deep mutual commitment between a faculty member and an institution -- a mutual commitment that truly serves them both.

In coining the word utopia, Thomas More was making a pun. The villain of Wolf Hall was, in real life, a learned man who wrote for people who could recognize a joke in Greek when he made one. The island republic of social perfection depicted in his most famous book was a good place (eu-topia), obviously. But it existed only in the imagination: it was also, literally, no place (ou-topia).
Alternating currents of optimism and skepticism crackle in the space between syllables. The ambivalence vanishes with "dystopia," which, like dysentery ("bad bowels"), has nothing to recommend it. But there is more to dystopia than has been encoded in its etymology. The word usually implies utopia's evil twin: a social order of perfect oppression, designed to bring the greatest misery to the greatest number.
The places Kate Brown writes about in Dispatches From Dystopia: Histories of Places Not Yet Forgotten (University of Chicago Press) are not all examples of hell on earth, by any means, but each bears the scars of some catastrophe that the visitor is bound to know about before arriving: the ghost town of Chernobyl, for example, or the basement of a hotel in Seattle full of the belongings of Japanese-American residents relocated to internment camps during World War II. The author introduces herself as "a professional disaster tourist," though her day job is as a professor of history at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her two previous books grew out of research on Russia and Ukraine during the Soviet era. Dispatches From Dystopia pursues many of the same interests while also working reflexively to consider the genres available for writing about place and memory: professional historiography, of course, but also personal narrative and travel writing.
"Many writers presume that the site of action is a given," she notes, "as if places were neutral containers of human interaction rather than dynamic places in their own right." At the same time, scholarly prose is often written from the vantage point of the proverbial "man from nowhere." Make that "person from nowhere," rather -- anyway, a voice that, while not omniscient, remains as rigorous and impersonal as possible.
"In their quest to explore the human condition," Brown writes, "historians can hide behind their subjects, using them as a scrim on which to project their own sentiments and feelings. Let me put that another way: in my quest to explore the human condition, I have hidden behind my subjects, using them as a scrim on which to project my own sentiments and feelings. The third-person voice is a very comfortable one in which to reside. Permanently. The intimacy of the first person takes down borders between the author and the subject, borders that are considered by many to be healthy in a profession that is situated between the social sciences and the humanities."
Such intimacy brings the potential for extreme embarrassment. Brown prefaces the lines just quoted by saying that her hands are sweating as writes them. Her early ventures into first-person scholarship met with resistance, expressed in well-meant warnings such as, "You won't get a job with that dissertation" and "Other scholars will assign you, but not cite you." Which is understandable, because other risks besides personal and professional awkwardness can follow from experimentation of the kind Brown undertakes. The existence of "borders between the author and the subject" at least reduce the dangers of twee memoir -- and also of prolonged metaepistemic inquiry (how can the knower know the knower, much less the known?) that scorches the earth with tedium.
So for the first several pages of Dispatches From Dystopia I braced myself, only to find that Brown is the rare case of someone who can incorporate a number of registers of narrative and reflection within the same piece of writing, shifting among them with grace and quiet confidence. Her essays might be called position papers: topographical surveys of historical sites, with the mapmaker's own itinerary sketched in.
The trips to erstwhile Soviet republics are not, she makes clear, a search for roots. A product of "the industrial heartland of the United States at a time when it was the world's most prosperous and powerful country," she is unaware of any German, Jewish or Slavic branches to her family tree: "I could hardly have been born farther from rural, famished, collectivized, heavily politicized, bombed and terrorized Right Bank Ukraine" -- the subject of her first book -- "a place that stands in my mind as the epicenter of 20th-century misery."
But another essay suggests the advantages of this presumed naïveté. People she met granted the author a place in post-Soviet society "as an honorary child…. If I accepted this role passively, relinquishing my status as an autonomous adult and the critical rationality of a researcher, they often let me in, if fleetingly, for a closer look. By becoming childlike -- susceptible, disabled and dependent -- I became a temporary member of their community, which in the Soviet Union was defined by an understanding of biological vulnerability, mutual interdependence and obligation."
Other expeditions require different personae. Her trip to what's left of the city of Chernobyl elicits another kind of identification with people who have been there. Expecting a scene from opening days of the Gorbachev era -- irradiated but frozen in time -- she finds that everything that can be sold has been hauled off to market: "Even the knobs on the kitchen cabinets were gone. Even the time capsule schoolchildren buried in the 1970s had been looted. (I know because I was hoping to dig it up and loot it myself.)"
Brown's first-person reflections are embedded in narratives and place descriptions that are more intricate and varied than a reviewer can even begin to suggest, and certain issues and motifs link the essays in ways that would probably reward a second reading. Each piece, like the volume as a whole, is an example of nonfiction that uses the first person, rather than just indulges it. The learned essay and the personal essay are different creatures and attempts to create a hybrid are often problematic at best. But Dispatches From Dystopia proves it can be done.

AAUP report on Steven Salaita case at U of Illinois says the institution summarily dismissed him for protected, extramural speech. University could face formal vote of censure.
Mehmet Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon and vice chair of the Department of Surgery at Columbia University Medical Center has attracted some attention recently because he has a TV show, The Dr. Oz Show, on which he spouts some incredibly stupid ideas about phony weight-loss cures and how psychics make you feel better.
But the recent debate about Oz centers on a question of academic freedom, after a group of 10 physicians wrote to Columbia University calling for him to be dismissed from his faculty position unless he stopped his dubious televised pronouncements.
In their letter, these doctors write:
We are surprised and dismayed that Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons would permit Dr. Mehmet Oz to occupy a faculty appointment, let alone a senior administrative position in the Department of Surgery.
As described here and here, as well as in other publications, Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops. Worst of all, he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.
Thus, Dr. Oz is guilty of either outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgments about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments, or both. Whatever the nature of his pathology, members of the public are being misled and endangered, which makes Dr. Oz's presence on the faculty of a prestigious medical institution unacceptable.
One of the 10 letter writers, Gilbert Ross of the American Council on Science and Health, described Oz as "a true asset to Columbia -- as a surgeon" and called for him to "return to the operating theater, where he can do much real good." This makes it clear that the opposition to Oz being on Columbia's faculty has nothing to do with his professional abilities. Instead, these writers want to punish Oz for his extramural utterances, because they fear that Oz's position at Columbia adds credibility to the dubious medical claims on his show.
It's doubtful that many of Oz's viewers know anything about his job at Columbia or would care if they did know. They find him credible because of his personality and because he has "Doctor" in front of his name, not because he works at Columbia.
So the real reason these writers are seeking to fire Oz from Columbia is as a form of public shaming. The numerous condemnations of Oz's show haven't changed his behavior, and they want to turn up the heat. But they are wrong: academic positions should never be threatened as a tool to argue with people who are in error.
Michael Specter wrote in The New Yorker, "Free speech must be defended vigorously. But to invoke those principles in order to protect the right of one of America's most powerful doctors to mislead millions of people seems a bit excessive."
There's nothing excessive about academic freedom or free speech, even when you apply those principles to famous and powerful people. The point of academic freedom isn't just to protect the little guy. It's to protect everyone, celebrity academics included. When Bertrand Russell was banned from teaching at City College of New York in 1940 for not being sufficiently homophobic in the eyes of a New York judge, he was one of the most famous academics in the world. But his banishment was both a violation of Russell's individual academic freedom and a threat to everyone else less prominent than Russell, since attacks on academic freedom create a chilling effect on everyone.
Oz might not "need" academic freedom to remain America's most famous doctor, but what about all the other academics who make controversial statements? The letter demanding Oz's firing linked to a Salon article about Oz's support for labeling genetically modified organisms (GMO) in foods, even though there's no scientific evidence that GMO products are harmful to consume. But it's also true that there's no scientific proof of GMO safety required before a new product is introduced, and that GMOs may contribute to negative consequences for the environment and for human health, such as possible increases in certain kinds of pesticide use and the overuse of antibiotics in cows given recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH). And truthful labeling is required for food products even when those ingredients are safe.
If Oz can be fired, in part, because of his views on GMOs, what might happen to the scientists who find evidence about GMOs harmful to the bottom lines of powerful corporations, or who dare to join the overwhelming majority of Americans in expressing support for labeling?
Columbia University responded to the controversy with a simple statement: "As I am sure you understand and appreciate, Columbia is committed to the principle of academic freedom and to upholding faculty members' freedom of expression for statements they make in public discussion."
A group of medical faculty peers at Columbia wrote an article criticizing the information on Oz's show, but noted, "Unless these foibles can be shown to render Dr. Oz inadequate or ineffective at Columbia, there is no justification for forcing him to resign from a well-earned position in academic medicine."
Jennifer Gunter, a physician, argued, "The uproar from health professionals about Dr. Oz is has nothing to do with academic freedom -- it's about false claims, bad information, ethics and conflicts of interest. Academic freedom is meant to support thoughtful ideas and research, not charlatans and liver cleanses."
But academic freedom protects thoughtful ideas and research by limiting the reach of punishment for bad ideas -- especially when those bad ideas take place in a realm outside of one's professional work. The fact that Oz talks about medical issues on his show makes him no different from Steven Salaita, whose tweets (which led him to lose a job at the University of Illinois) were extramural utterances even though the subject matter had some connection to his academic work on Israel.
An extramural utterance is defined by whether or not a university is paying a professor to speak, as they do with teaching and research. But if we say that extramural utterances should be judged by academic criteria, then we will chill the speech of academics in precisely the areas where they can benefit the public most with their knowledge. It's tempting to imagine that we can force Oz to bring sound medical advice to daytime television by threatening his job. What will happen instead is that academic experts will keep silent on public controversies lest they endanger their academic positions, and we will be left with more charlatans to guide important debates.
The best response to Oz's errors is counterspeech, not the removal of his academic freedom and dismissal from his academic position. There's nothing wrong with criticizing Oz for having a show that dispenses dubious and often scientifically wrong advice to a gullible public, or even encouraging him to resign. But when people call for those who views they dislike to be fired even when they are fully qualified academically, it undermines academic freedom.
The University of Illinois initially responded to the Salaita controversy with the same principled defense of academic freedom that Columbia University invoked for Oz, before changing positions. But Columbia's principles are sound: a true university should have academics judged by other academics based on their academic work, and should give them the freedom to speak -- on Twitter, in public speeches and letters, and on television -- without fear of censorship. We cannot count on the truth prevailing on daytime television, but we should not be afraid to allow an open debate of ideas in the public sphere.

The federal government mandates that a certain amount of ethanol be blended with gasoline. The price of corn-based ethanol hasn't been affected by the same anchor-drop in price as petroleum fuel, however, and along with that, the complicated mechanics of its pricing and trade are said to be what is keeping the price of gas from falling even further.

In late 2013, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed – for the first time ever – a slight slacking of the 2014 renewable fuel standard. The reason was that the US is coming up on the 'blend wall,' the overall level of ethanol in the national gasoline supply where adding any more biofuel would push the average blend in 'normal' gas above 10 percent. As we know, this is a contentious issue. So contentious that, as the EPA collects comments about the rule change, almost 1

Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) could be a fantastic deal for investors – if the 2013 trend continues.

That's a wee bit higher than the price last December, when it dropped down to one cent a gallon. That means there's been a 2,000 percent price increase in prices since the beginning of the year!

This review is from: SAMSUNG D3 Station 2TB USB 3.0 3.5" Desktop External Hard Drive STSHX-D201TDB Black
Pros: I bought this external drive in Sept of 2013 and use it for backups with SyncBackSE and AOMEI both I recommend highly. I installed Win10 all the way to making a disk image. I shut down to reboot and test the whole thing and the memory stick in slot one failed trashing the boot loader and the bios. Had to replace the mother board. Restored the image off of this 2 year old Seagate Barracuda drive in this Samsung box and everything was back up. I am going to buy another of these drives. I don't know what the MTBF is on these drives they are not high end NAS drives but certainly good enough for the everyday user. And it saved my rear end!
Cons: None. If the drive failed now it would be worth every penny I paid.
Other Thoughts: Some people have had a hard time with these but my experience has been excellent. And I will buy another one.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: NETGEAR WNDR3400-100NAS N600 Wireless Router Simultaneous Dual Band IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4
Pros: Lasted less than 18 months. Had continual problems with wireless connectivity on all PC's. Ultimately woke up one Sunday morning to find wireless was dead but PC's had good wireless signal! PC's could not connect through wireless so ran Cat5 to bypass temporarily. Lan ports and DHCP in unit was still working. Working on RMA with Netgear will see how that goes and follow up. Will just use replacement for guest access.
I have come to believe all this consumer grade stuff is built on low levels of reliability.
Cons: Nothing special. Not reliable. Short range
Other Thoughts: This unit is dated and only has a 100m lan port. I would not recommend purchasing this.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Never had a problem with WD drives but I understand others have. Luck of the draw because there is a small failure rate with all hardware. I used this drive to clone and backup an XP hard drive that hiccuped informing me I better change it out. This drive is up and running 27-7. I used AOMEI free imaging and partition software to do the image and it is working perfectly. I could not have asked for a better and easier solution. I highly recommend the drive and AOMEI software. Acronis was offered free from WD but the download was huge and I have a slow connection so I went with AOMEI and it has more features and is very simple to use.READ FULL REVIEW

I'll start by saying that my becoming an audiophile happened overnight more or less when i decided to build a new PC. I've never listened to a high end set of speakers or phones and as such have never felt that i was missing anything. That is what made it strange that, while browsing newegg, out of the blue i just suddenly knew that anything like the z5500 speakers i have now would be unacceptable.
The headphones i would buy need to cover a wide range of activities and this is where my problem comes in as they all seem tailored to one task or another. I want to use them for games as much as music, and probably a movie now and then on netflix.
The games would of course have explosions, guns shots, environmental soundsect. The music range would go from just about any range.. classical to hard rock or some light metal, skipping over rap but some R&B .
In other words i more or less want it all. Clarity, good bass (doesent have to be overpowering, just there so as not to feel flat or empty in situations where nice bass would be expected), ect that can be used for most applications. I'm not the type that can sit down and compare two headphones for nit picky details (at least not yet) so it doesent HAVE to be absolute highend either.
The concept of soundstage is new to me which as what gets me as it would seem to be counter to a good gaming or movie experience. unless i am not understanding the concept, the idea of a headphone placing sounds in different places would seem like a terrible artificial surround sound. From what i've read though, it seems all the high end phones have soundstaging as a feature.
ive also noticed that some phones like the HD-800 seem to be very picky with the amp. I'm going to use the new Asus xonar essence external amp which has been getting great reviews but as it has alot of silicon i imagine it needs something that is forgiving when paired with modern technology.
1,000 dollars would be the idela max i would spend but if i needed to spend 1500 so be it.
i went to guitar center hoping to try out headphones to get a better idea but they dident have in over 250 dollars and did not even have a setup to test them out. i dont know of any stores in the phoenix area set up for walk in testing either.
also open ear/closed doesent matter as these wont be used in public.
I hope someone out there has some ideas for me. Also, glad to join these forums!.

In a press release today, the French American Foundation and Florence Gould Foundation announced the finalists for their 27th annual translation prize for one work of fiction and one work of non-fiction.
According to the release, the foundations received 84 submissions to the Translation Prize, from over 40 publishers. This year, the list of finalists saw a massive increase in number. The 2012 list consisted of only three titles and translators—one in the fiction category, and two in the non-fiction category. In fact, with 10 titles in total, 2013 saw the highest number of winners in the history of the award. (The full list of past winners is here.) Hopefully, the foundations' ability to award multiple translators will keep thriving, thus creating opportunities for a continued and healthy mix (and rotation) of well-known translators, and translators who are slowly working up their repertoire or are only just emerging.
From the release:
One Fiction and one Non-Fiction prize will be presented at the annual Awards Ceremony on May 22 in New York. Each winning translator will receive a $10,000 prize funded by the Florence Gould Foundation.
The jury, which includes Linda Asher, David Bellos, Linda Coverdale, Emmanuelle Ertel and Lorin Stein, has selected the best English translations of French works published in 2013. The 10 finalists form a prestigious and diverse group that includes books by award-winning authors and important French works available in English and in the United States for the first time.
Though every press would, obviously, love to see their title on the docket, this year's list of translators and titles really is a good one, and even includes one of our newest author-friends, Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès, who was at the University of Rochester last fall to kick off our Reading the World Conversation Series, and is a fantastic person and amazing writer.
More info on the Translation Prize can be found at the French-American Foundation's website.
The full list of fiction finalists is:

I never thought I would not only review a hotel that is currently closed, but recommend it when it reopens. The Royal Court Apartments is owned by the best budget hotel chain in London – the RCA group. Started by 2 brothers, sadly one has passed away. When I stayed here it had not been upgraded to the standard of their other hotels I have stayed at, but they are remodelling it now. The rooms are more like an apartment. My 'room' had a separate bedroom, bathroom and a large kitchen/living room. I had nice living room furniture, kitchen table and a working kitchen had I wished to cook. Oddly I had 3 beds, but they were all comfortable. Combined with a relatively quiet room (ask for the back or high floor) and the excellent staff – I had a good stay. Now some of the odd things. The building is old. When I stayed here the first thing I noticed was the loud sound of crickets in the elevator shafts. The bathroom had a definite drain smell. The living room slightly musty. For the price, location and comfort, it was still a good hotel. The funny thing was that all the rooms had brass plaques with the names of movie stars. Mine was someone like Marilyn Monroe.
When this hotel reopens, have a look at their prices and offers. If you don't like the price, telephone them and see if they can do a discount. What I like about RCA Hotels is that they always seem to have some bargain prices with a bit of comfort. It is always nice to sit in your living room and have a cold beer out of your fridge while you watch TV.
They will reopen soon!
Unique Quality:
• Good beds, location and service
• Full kitchens, living room and separate bedrooms/bathrooms
• Good prices
• Quiet rooms at the back – request when you reserve your room
Directions:
TUBE & TRAIN:
• Paddington Station/Heathrow Express
(Bakerloo, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, First Great Western)
• Lancaster Gate (Central line)
clean, basic accomodations
Located next to Hyde Park, it's a block to the Lancaster Gate tube station and a few blocks to Paddington station. There is a guest lounge with a large TV and a pop machine. Our room was on the 2nd floor so we were happy that there was a lift. The room was small but tidy, with a double bed, table, 2 chairs, armoire, and a TV. We had a private bathroom, which is hard to find at this price in London. It had a bathtub too, not just a stand-up shower. The hot water worked fine. There was also a kitchenette along one wall, consisting of a fridge, microwave, range, and sink. Plates, utensils and cookware were in the cabinet over the sink. So, you really can cook in your room if you like!
Our room was a studio; there are also 1 and 2 bedroom apartments if you need something larger.
The floor was uneven and creaky, and the walls were thin. My husband was awakened one night by the snoring of our neighbor. But if you're a deep sleeper (like me) this shouldn't bother you. The window opened, letting in some cool air (a good thing, since there is no air conditioning).
The staff was helpful. For example, when we realized we'd lost our hotel address for the next leg of our trip, they let us use their computer to retrieve the information.
There's no restaurant on the premises, but there are a few nearby. There are 2 convenience stores if you walk north up Gloucester Terrace one block and turn left.
If you want to lounge around your room all day and order room service, stay somewhere else. The TV only gets 4 channels. But you're not in London to watch TV! Royal Court Apartments are clean, relatively cheap, and a nice place to lay your head at night after you've been out exploring.
Worst London Appartment
Just a single night stay. One of the worst hotells I've ever seen. The guy in front desk was unable to speak english! The rooms was like on the serial The Young Ones, old, dirty, poor, bad smell... 75 € was a steal!!
A great place if you have kids!
Most of the staff were less than helpful and when they finally did do something, they made it clear they were doing it grudgingly. However, we did have an EXTREMELY helpful and friendly bell hop/jack of all trades named John. He made the hotel much more homey for us and he was nice to the kids. We also loved the location. Within a very short walk of Hyde Park. This offers lots of ways for kids of all ages to expend pent up energy! The hotel is also close to 2 Tube stations, one being the huge Paddington station, and a stop for The Big Bus tour. The hotel is not on a main road so we didn't have a problem with noise. Overall we were very happy we found this hotel as it made our entire vacation more enjoyable.
Unique Quality: You can get rooms with a kitchenette and separate sitting room so little ones can sleep while older ones play and watch tv.

House Members continue to plan meet-and-greets in the wake of an alleged assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that left six dead on Saturday, The Hill reports. Mike Illis writes that "a number of lawmakers in both chambers are pushing ahead defiantly with public gatherings designed to demonstrate that the attempted assassination of a colleague will be no deterrent from public interaction with voters."
Giffords was shot on Saturday outside a grocery store near Tucson, Ariz. 13 were wounded in addition to the six fatalities.
Meanwhile, the youngest victim from Saturday's deadly rampage, nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, was laid to rest on Thursday in Tucson.
Some 2,000 mourners packed a Catholic church to honor her, while hundreds more lined streets outside in a show of unity and support.
Christina's was the first of half-a-dozen funerals in the coming days, and was to be followed Friday with a service for U.S. District Judge John Roll at the same church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Security was expected to be tight at the ceremony, with many federal judges among the mourners.
Roll and Christina were among six people killed Saturday when a gunman opened fire on a meet-and-greet for Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a Tucson supermarket parking lot. Thirteen others were wounded, including Giffords, who was shot in the head and gravely injured.
Roll, who served nearly 40 years, had stopped by the event after attending Mass to say hello to the congresswoman.
On Thursday, though, the focus was on Christina as the mourners said goodbye to the joyful, patriotic and athletic girl whose life began on Sept. 11, 2001, and ended on what has become another day of national tragedy.
Eight-year-old Dante Williams had only one thing on his mind: he wanted to leave a giant teddy bear, Brownie, for his slain friend.
The third-grader who attended school with the dark-haired girl recalled chasing her at recess and having dance contests with her in the schoolyard - mostly break-dancing, he said. He bought the stuffed animal, a toy nearly as tall as himself, to leave by Christina's casket because she loved animals, but there was no room.

Shooting Victim Recounts Judge's Heroism
AP reports on one victim's memories of Judge John Roll's heroic actions the day the tragic shootings rocked Tucson:
Ron Barber can remember the small details of the Tucson rampage: The gunman, the crackle of gunfire, lying on the ground, wounded, and the weight of a body on him.
A week and a half later, Barber found out that it was his good friend John Roll.
Then he learned the federal judge may have helped save his life.
Full story here.
Statement From Judge Roll's Widow
Judge John Roll's wife, Maureen, has issued a statement in response to her husband's tragic death and the events that unfolded in Tucson, AZ Central reports:
There are no words to describe how my world was shattered on Saturday morning, Jan. 8, 2011. Not only did I lose John Roll, my husband and best friend of more than 40 years, but our three sons lost a wonderful father and our grandchildren their beloved papa. But something else happened that day and in the days that have followed.
Read the full statement here.
PHOTO: Giffords Goes Outside
Giffords' family reported that she felt the sunshine on her face today for the first time since she was shot. Her office released the below photograph of the congresswoman's bed on a hospital deck, with husband Mark Kelly by her side.
Giffords Transferring To Houston Friday
Arizona's KFDA reports that Congresswoman Giffords will be transferred to Houston's TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital at 9am local time tomorrow:
Officials at University Medical Center in Tucson say the congresswoman is expected to leave shortly after 9 a.m. local time and travel by ambulance to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base for a medical flight to Texas.
A group of motorcycle riders from a Veterans of Foreign Wars post will escort the ambulance.
Once in Houston, she will be taken by helicopter to TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital.
Traveling with Giffords will be her husband, Mark Kelly; her mother, Gloria Giffords; trauma surgeon Dr. Peter Rhee and an intensive care unit nurse.

Death Penalty For Loughner?
AZ Central reports on the terms of Loughner's indictments, and what would constitute the death penalty:
Superseding indictments could come as early as 60 days in the murders of U.S. District Judge John Roll and Giffords' aide Gabe Zimmerman. Sources indicated that the indictments would be done piecemeal in order to meet constitutional requirements.
The federal criminal code allows penalties of up to life in prison for an attempted assassination of a member of Congress. When federal murder charges follow, prosecutors could seek the death penalty.
Full story here.
Surveillance Video Shows Gunman Shooting Giffords
The AP reports on a video that has surfaced of the shooting rampage:
John Roll was called a fair federal judge and a loving family man at his funeral. Now, some are also calling him a hero.
Surveillance footage of the Jan. 8 shooting rampage in Tucson showed that he used his body as a shield to cover an injured man. Roll then took a bullet to the back, and lost his life in the process.
Full story here.
Giffords Family Weighs Rehabilitation Course
The AP reports:
Giffords' family hopes to move the Arizona congresswoman on Friday to TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital in Houston, where her husband lives and works as an astronaut. The exact day of the move will depend on her health.
"I am extremely hopeful at the signs of recovery that my wife has made since the shooting," Mark Kelly said in a statement released by Giffords' congressional office. The staff at University Medical Center in Tucson "has stabilized her to the point of being ready to move to the rehabilitation phase."

Triple-Testing Philosophy™
"Bringing you the latest in natural healing advances from around the world is at the heart of what matters to me. So when I partnered with Healthy Directions, it was important to know they valued the integrity and potency of each supplement's ingredients just as much as I do. Their commitment to quality is what reassures me they're truly invested in what matters most—the health of customers just like you. "
Our Triple-Testing Philosophy™
When it comes to quality, we don't just talk the talk…we walk the walk. Every product receives our three-step approach to testing with our Triple-Testing Philosophy™:
Step 1: Rigorous Screening of Raw Materials
Step 2: 100% Finished Goods Batch Testing
Step 3: Independent Laboratory Testing
We start with a full-time team dedicated to Quality Control…
We don't farm out Quality Control (QC)—we have a dedicated, passionate group of employees who spend their days checking and double checking paperwork to make sure every "I" is dotted and every "T" is crossed, ensuring that vendor qualifications and certifications are up to date and accurate. They also make sure all our bottles are safe, tamper-proof, and easy to open.
Why it matters: We're not cutting corners to save on cost when it comes to quality. Our QC team members are personally invested in their work—and ultimately making sure you receive the highest quality supplements that are 100% safe and effective.
Every product goes through our Triple-Testing Philosophy™
Our Triple-Testing Philosophy™ goes well beyond industry standards (including what the FDA requires) to help us maintain our spotless safety record and our reputation for having exceptionally effective products. Here's how it works…
Step 1:
Rigorous Screening of Raw Materials
Every product's raw materials are checked for identity, quality, purity, and potency. And we mean every product—long before it is ever packaged and delivered to your doorstep. In fact, all potential suppliers of raw materials must provide a Certificate of Independent Laboratory Analysis showing their material meets at least 15 detailed items on our checklist. This certificate is provided with EVERY shipment of raw materials we receive and ensures our manufacturers are receiving only the highest quality ingredients from reputable suppliers.
Why it matters: Our rigorous screening helps ensure you're putting only the most pure and clean ingredients into your body. Plus, our doctors take the time to search out the most natural, potent, and safe ingredients to formulate their supplements—it's our duty to make sure these ingredients are the highest of quality before they even make it into production.
Step 2:
100% Finished Goods Batch Testing
Label claims and purity specifications are checked using strict inspections throughout the production process—for EVERY batch. This means that at multiple steps throughout production, we're checking that the product contains exactly what is promised on the label, and the purity of each product is exactly what it should be.
Why it matters: What you need is what you get. This step ensures that what's on the label is exactly what's in the bottle, every time—with full potency all the way through the product's well-marked expiration date.
Step 3:
Independent Laboratory Testing
Each supplement is sent off to a third-party lab to make sure it meets purity and potency specifications for optimal efficacy. Yes, this means men and women in white lab coats, who have no association with Healthy Directions, are checking every supplement to make sure it meets our exacting standards. This isn't required by the FDA—it's just an extra step we take to ensure you're getting the best possible quality in every dose.
Why it matters: Our QC team does an amazing job. But when it comes to your health and safety, we leave absolutely nothing to chance. That's why we take this extra step of sending our supplements off to an independent lab for verification. It's just one more way we're committed to delivering on our Quality Promise.
When You're Healthy, We're Happy…
We insist on all of this (which exceeds FDA standards) to bring you the best quality supplements, at the best value, for an overall healthier, happier you.

I figured that because it was so early - that if I left ~ 6:30 am I should be able to get a spot.

On Wednesday, we provided you with our worst five Pac-12 BCS moments.
Here's what we wrote (our polls can only included five choices, so if you think Oregon losing the Rose Bowl to Ohio State after the 2009 season, go with "other").
1. Just one BCS national title, lots of frustration: No conference has more legitimate gripes with the BCS system than the Pac-12. Multiple seasons saw the conference have teams skipped over, most notably Oregon in 2001 and USC in 2003 and 2008. And ask California fans about how Texas coach Mack Brown gamed the system in 2004, preventing the Bears from playing in the Rose Bowl.
2. USC's three-peat gets Vince Younged: It's difficult to look at Texas' epic 41-38 win over USC as anything but great college football art -- perhaps the all-time greatest game -- but Trojans fans don't feel that way. The loss prevented USC from claiming three consecutive national titles and, of course, a second BCS crown for the Pac-10/12.
3. Oregon falls short versus Auburn: Oregon looked like a great team and Auburn a team with two great players before the BCS title game after the 2010 season. The Ducks chose a bad time to play one of their worst games of the season, but they still nearly prevailed before being undone by a dramatic game-winning drive from the Tigers.
4. Make a field goal, Stanford: Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson missed three field goals, including a certain game winner from 35 yards on the last play of regulation, in the Cardinal's 41-38 loss to No. 3 Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl after the 2011 season. Williamson also missed from 43 yards in overtime, which set the Cowboys up for the win. Stanford dominated the game, outgaining the Cowboys 590 yards to 412, with a 243-13 edge in rushing.
So what's your take?

False. While the taiga may have a thick layer of humus, it is acidic and not very fertile.

I lay on the beach in the sand and the sun
Playing around and having some fun
Squealing away as I begin to run
I discreetly pull out a water-filled gun
And continue on to spray my hun
And when the day is finally done
I know that I had some fun in the sun

Peter Pan Goes Wrong Mischief Theatre Company review
Dermot Hoare reviews Mischief Theatre Company's production of Peter Pan Goes Wrong, showing at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford until 27th Nov
Following hard on the heels of their sell out success 'The Play that goes Wrong', Mischief Theatre now embark at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre on a National tour with 'Peter Pan goes Wrong'.
You know you're in for an evening of fun even as you read your programme. With satirical articles on the possibility of ever reaching Neverland and descriptions of the Cornley Youth Theatre, bogus interviews and spoof resumes clearly this is to be no ordinary play. J.M.Barrie will be turning in his grave as the antics on the stage send up every aspect of his traditional story.
So, we start in the Darling children's nursery. Here we come across the first of the problems since, due to an accident, Michael's part now has to be taken by the elderly bearded co-director. Nana, the dog gets stuck in the dog-flap of the nursery door and has to be cut out by the stage hands, the children's bunk bed almost collapses and we catch a glimpse of Mrs Darling, who doubles as Lisa the maid, doing her swift costume change just outside the room.
From then on everything goes wrong that could possibly do so. Only Wendy stoically soldiers on as if nothing untoward is happening. Peter Pan himself flies in to find his shadow and breaks the window, turns upside down and eventually crash-lands with a bump.
The journey to Neverland, the meeting with the lost children and the arrival of Captain Hook, who never quite masters his hook, and the Pirates all share the same fate of disastrous mishaps. When Tinkerbell's jealousy of Wendy prompts her to get the children to shoot her down, the arrows hit poor Peter instead.
The scenery and the set don't help either with pieces falling down and a pirate ship that won't keep still. Even Peter's flying apparatus fails and he crashes to the ground requiring a hapless member of the audience to take his place.
Fortunately all ends well – even Tinkerbell is revived from death by the audience's participation – and we go home knowing that the Peter Pan story is safe once more.
Who does one praise? Well, it's not easy to do everything wrong night after night so everyone played their part but look out for Naomi Sheldon, who apart from Mrs Darling plays no less than four other characters, Alex Bartram as Peter Pan and Leonie Hill as the indomitable Wendy. But, as I said, they're all good so go and have a good laugh.

Tony Pulis admits he is more likely to give Martin O'Neill one of his trademark baseball caps than a £300 bottle of claret when his team visit Aston Villa in a top-versus-bottom encounter today. Yet the Stoke City manager's admiration for the man he believes should succeed Fabio Capello with England is every bit as strong as the respect between Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson.
Stoke gained their opening Premier League victory at Villa's expense in August and Pulis, heartened by James Beattie's scoring form and the return of the muscular target-man Mamady Sidibe, now hopes for a first away success against the same opponents. Although O'Neill's decision to leave eight first-choice players in the Midlands for Thursday's Uefa Cup defeat at CSKA Moscow lessened the chances of it happening, it drew an impish smile from Pulis.
"I was ringing the local radio stations saying he must take his first team," the Welshman quipped. "Given the choice, I'd have preferred them to have travelled to Russia. But seriously, Martin runs Aston Villa, not me. I think he's a top, top manager and was very unfortunate to get overlooked for the England job last time round. Villa won't thank me for saying this, but if he keeps doing what he's been doing, he should be the next England manager – if he wants it.
"What I admire is that he had the balls to start in non-League football with Shepshed and Grantham. That says something," Pulis reflected. "Martin is very passionate, and it will be nice to be up against a manager wearing a tracksuit. There are loads drifting away to wearing suits. He's old-fashioned in that sense, but you can't say that about his team.
"Villa have pace and power in the right areas, though the real strength is their balance. The players are in the right positions and know exactly what their jobs are. Martin is like Brian Clough, who got people to play to their strengths. The football they play is very attractive. They are good at counterattacking and set-plays, but he also has players with great ability."
Pulis's opinion of his only rival in the touchline histrionics stakes is informed by gratitude for O'Neill's unwitting part in Stoke's return to the English elite after a 23-year absence. "Letting me have Lee Hendrie and Pat-rik Berger on loan was a big influence on the club," he said. "It showed we could attract bigger players and took us to a different level. Martin is very straight. There's no ifs, buts or maybes. If he says he'll do a deal, he will."
This afternoon, however, Villa and Stoke will suspend goodwill for 90 minutes, with O'Neill's team keen to maintain their pursuit of a Champions' League place and the visitors desperate to kick-start their fight against relegation. Beattie's four goals in five outings since Pulis paid Sheffield United £2.5 million for the striker has given the Potteries club renewed optimism, as has Sidibe's fitness after the 6ft 5in Malian spent two months out with a knee problem.
"James has given us goals, but everything about him – the way he trains, his great enthusiasm – has livened up the place," Pulis said. "The opportunity to play in the Premier League again is a big spur for him. With Mama injured, we had missed having a focal point to our attack, so his coming back as well is a massive plus for us. Those two together will be a handful."
Villa have cause to be wary of both. Four years ago, during David O'Leary's tenure, they were found guilty by the Football Association of making an illegal approach to Beattie – then with Southampton – while Sidibe settled the last meeting in stoppage time.
Stoke, with one victory in 14 League and cup fixtures and without an away victory in the top flight since 1984, urgently need a repeat performance.
Manchester United v Tottenham hotspur (3pm, Sky Sports 1) United using half-a-dozen reserves should even the game up nicely. The outcome may depend on how soon they send for reinforcements.
Aston Villa v Stoke city (3pm) Villa clearly feel they are exciting enough to pull a crowd while the Wembley game is live on TV. Stoke (three points from 13 away games) are not part of the attraction.
Bolton wanderers v Newcastle Utd (1pm, Setanta Sports 1) What a lot of water under the Tyne Bridge since Sam Allardyce took Newcastle to Bolton on the first day of last season and won easily.
Hull City v Blackburn Rovers (12.30pm)
Allardyce goes to Humberside instead today, six points behind Hull but with a game in hand. A key match in both teams' season.
West Ham Utd v Manchester City (12.30pm) Craig Bellamy will be on a high visiting another of his old clubs, but West Ham are having a flat patch: two goals and no win in five games.
