The Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy provides a comprehensive overview of public diplomacy and national image and perception management, from the efforts to foster pro-West sentiment during the Cold War to the post-9/11 campaign to "win the hearts and minds" of the Muslim world. Editors Nancy Snow and Philip Taylor present materials on public diplomacy trends in public opinion and cultural diplomacy as well as topical policy issues. The latest research in public relations, credibility, soft power, advertising, and marketing is included and institutional processes and players are identified and analyzed. While the field is dominated by American and British research and developments, the book also includes international research and comparative perspectives from other countries.
Published in association with the USC Center on Public Diplomacy at the Annenberg School based at the University of Southern California.
"Snow, Taylor and a distinguished group of scholars have produced the definitive sourcebook on one of the most important subjects of our time. This collection offers a highly readable and comprehensive look at how the U.S. has veered off course in the battle for the hearts and minds of much of the world. This is a must read for students and scholars, and should be placed in the hands of the policymakers who inherit the challenge of restoring the public image and credibility of this wayward superpower."
--Lance Bennett, Professor of Political Science & Ruddick C. Lawrence Professor of Communication, Director, Center for Communication and Civic Engagement, University of Washington
"Since 9/11 public diplomacy has emerged as a critical, but little understood, component of foreign policy. This Handbook explains what it is, what it isn't, who does it well, and who doesn't. In short, it is essential to understanding how countries present themselves to the world."
--Ambassador Cynthia P. Schneider, PhD, Distinguished Fellow in the Practice of Diplomacy, Georgetown University, Senior Non Resident Fellow, Brookings Institution
"Snow and Taylor's Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy offers valuable and timely advice about China as it struggles to tell its story of Tibet and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The editors take a global perspective to address the public diplomacy issue in a well-admired effort to build a global dialogue between the East and the West."
--Li Xiguang, Dean, International Center for Communication Studies, Tsinghua University
Vice-Chairman, Journalism Education Committee of Chinese Ministry of Education
"A nation's success in global politics of the 21st century will depend in large part on the management of national image and reputation. Soft power has become a necessary rather than optional complement to hard power. With its breadth and depth of analysis, the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy is required reading for those who care about how countries can use the tools of communication to create a competitive advantage in the Information Age."
--Evan H. Potter, Department of Communication, University of Ottawa

Do not be alarmed if you are driving through Palm Springs and you see a 26-foot-tall Marilyn Monroe off in the distance. It is not a mirage but in fact a tribute statue of the American icon.
A free concert will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, near the âForever Marilynâ sculpture to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the starâs passing. Monroe was born 86 years ago, on June 1, 1926, and died Aug. 5, 1962.
The statue is on the northwest corner of Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Canyon Way, on the site of a Bank of America branch that stood vacant for years before being demolished.
The Monroe sculpture arrived in May, just in time for and will reside in Palm Springs until June 2013. The Sculpture Foundation, run by âForever Marilynâ sculptor J. Seward Johnson, is hosting the statueâs stay.
âThe Sculpture Foundation knew this was going to a be a hit for our downtown, but the support from our Coachella Valley citizens plus everyone from the Inland Empire and Southern California have far exceeded our expectations,â chairman of PS Resorts Aftab Dada said.
PS Resorts is a non-profit organization that promotes Palm Springs tourism through events and attractions. This Friday, Aug, 3, the organization will present a free showing of Monroeâs movie âThe Seven Year Itchâ on an outdoor screen by the sculpture.
The statue depicts a scene from that 1955 comedy in which breeze from a subway grate lifts Monroeâs skirt.
âWe are blown away to have âForever Marilynâ in downtown Palm Springs. It has boosted tourism and helped out our local merchants, especially the restaurants and stores. It has been thrilling,â Dada said.
The 34,000-pound statue made its debut in downtown Chicago in July 2011, before being transported to Palm Springs, a city that is used to honoring celebrities with bronze statues on Palm Canyon.
A statue of Lucille Ball in âI Love Lucyâ sits across the street of âForever Marilyn,â and there is a statue of former Mayor Sonny Bono down the block.
Located at the epicenter of Palm Springs tourism, âForever Marilynâ has been a hit with visitors even in the desertâs hottest months. Desert hotels have been enticing guests with Marilyn packages. They reference her movies with names such as âSome Like it Hotâ and include perks such as cocktails and âTropical Heat Waveâ massages.
Friday movie screening and Sundayâs concert and movie screening are family-friendly with all ages welcome. Guests are permitted to bring low lawn chairs or blankets for the concert, as well as food and drinks.
The tribute concert will feature entertainer Jeffrey Allen, a well-known Sir Elton John impersonator. Allen has performed throughout the world, including Las Vegasâ âLegends in Concert.â
PS Resorts found Allenâs performance to be fitting for Monroeâs commemorative concert; particularly because Sir Elton Johnâs single âCandle in the Windâ is a tribute song to Monroe.

Blizzard Hills remains closed BUT Old Airport Disc Golf Course in AuGres, Michigan has ordered 18 Chainstar baskets and expect to have them cemented in before the snow flies. Along with baskets replacing the aluminum poles, a few holes will get redesigned to add some extra distance to this course that was started and maintained by one guy since 1999. His efforts paid off and the city is behind the efforts that provided the opportunity for the course to develop.
Ed Carpus August 7, 2012 at 12:17pm
Is this course still closed? Any update from anyone in the area?
Craig Prime October 29, 2010 at 2:48pm

stolen basket at Blizzard Hills
darn, darn, double darn. The #7 basket was stolen sometime between Monday night July19th. at 9:30pm and Wednesday morning. The report is that there are no tracks, so it was either yanked and carried to the parking lot or obtained from a small boat coming to hole 7 by way of the Pinconning River. And since this is a course that receives NO FUNDS from anywhere other than donations and club events, we have no money to replace it. There may be a slight chance that ou ...

How, exactly, are we to know what town that is or what tools the shops in it have available if we don't live there? Call Browning customer service (1-800-322-4626) and ask about the model shotgun you have and what tool you need? Call the shops in your town to see who has one? If none, use the web. Enco, or MSC.

This is another one of those "if it ain't broke" issues. I am not sure I see any need to remove that stock unless it needs replacement.
But anyway, if the stock bolt uses a standard slotted screw head (most Brownings do) you can buy a long (12" blade) screwdriver at Home Depot. In an emergency you might be able to use the lug wrench off your car; the screwdriver end (for removing the wheel disc) works fine for many stock bolts. If using a screwdriver you might have to use a small wrench on the square shaft as those screws are tight. Just be careful and be sure the screwdriver is seated in the slot before turning it. If it is between the bolt and the side of the hole, turning it will break the stock. Jim

Summer Quandaries #17
Aug 17—44 Days to camp
Let's Talk Camp
There have been enough new rotation players, and new rotation strengths and weaknesses, added to warrant playing expected combinations together enough to familiarize and work out the kinks. When they hit camp almost half will never have checked in at the scorer's table wearing Celtics' green. Four will never have logged a single minute in an NBA game. On the other hand when they roll the ball out on October 26, the non-Rondo starters will be 32, 33, 34, and 35 years old. A key substitute will clock in at 38. With a roster constructed almost entirely of high-mileage vets and wide-eyed youngsters, camp will necessarily be operating somewhat at cross purposes. Incorporate and integrate the veterans without exhausting their ever-dwindling reservoirs while pushing as much knowledge, action, and experience as possible into the rookies.
So what do you do when the starters need to be limited to an hour; the second unit (except Shaq) need two hours; and the new youngsters need three hours twice a day? Compounding the problem is the fact that each group needs an opposing five against which to sharpen their skills and test their mettle. We'll be here all week (hashing this out) but I'll give you a hint at where I'm going by posing this question: What other players would you invite to camp? With limited, perhaps no, roster room and with-regrets RSVP's from Janning and Sims already, this is no trivial problem.

"Jamie Dixon, you just led your USA basketball team to the world championship. What are you going to do next?"
"I'm going to Georgia, recruiting!"
OK, so maybe it isn't a Disney moment. But you know what? That's Dixon. The man takes his best shot at a challenge -- any challenge -- then moves on to the next. That's why he's in Augusta, Ga. -- "No golf for me," he said, fairly snickering -- looking at high school players at the Peach Jam, the best summer tournament in the country. The gold medal his USA under-19 team won Sunday night at the FIBA world championship in Auckland, New Zealand, is so old news. Now, it's all about keeping the pipeline of athletes flowing to Pitt, where he has won more games in his first six seasons than any coach in college basketball history.
"What else would I be doing?" Dixon asked when it was suggested to him that it seems a little extreme to fly Monday from New Zealand to Atlanta and then to Pittsburgh late this afternoon to watch more games tonight in the Pittsburgh Basketball Club Pro-Am Summer League.
Really, what else?
And you wonder why Dixon is one of the top coaches in America?
Correct that.
One of the top coaches in the world?
Dixon, making his international coaching debut, added to his burgeoning resume with the win at the FIBA tournament. His team used balanced scoring, stifling defense and powerful rebounding -- sound familiar? -- to go 9-0 and win the first gold medal by a USA Under-19 team since 1991. That didn't exactly ease the sting from Pitt's hurtful, two-point loss to Villanova, just one step short of the Final Four last season -- "I haven't forgotten any of our losses in my 10 years at Pitt, so I'm sure I'll never forget that one," Dixon said -- but it still felt mighty satisfying.
"Just being able to represent your country is a great thing," he said. "You don't realize what that's like until you actually do it."
No one could have anticipated the way the USA team blew through the competition, winning its games by an average of 22.2 points. Dixon took over as head coach just six weeks before the tournament when Davidson coach Bob McKillop had to pull out. Dixon didn't take long to establish himself with the players, running what the USA Basketball people said was the toughest training camp they had seen and stressing -- what else? -- teamwork, defense and rebounding. It reminded Pitt's Ashton Gibbs, the USA team's top point guard and best perimeter defender, of the Panthers' grueling practices at the Petersen Events Center.
"We went hard right from the jump, the very first practice," Gibbs said. "I was used to it, but you could see the other guys weren't. They were telling me, 'No more. We're finished with coach Dixon's practices.' But they got used to it, and it helped us in the end."
"We charted everything in those practices and kept track of what team won each drill and each game," Dixon said. "Everything was about winning. We wanted the players to get excited about winning and not just the all-star part of it. ...
"We half-joked with them that they could be playing pickup games with their buddies and not having to worry about playing defense. But they made the decision to play for their country, so that meant they had to make a commitment to playing defense. They were great about it. They all were unselfish and all sacrificed. Every guy said, 'Let's do this.' "
The USA team held its opponents to 66 points per game and 38.2 percent shooting and outrebounded them by more than seven rebounds a game. All 12 players played at least 13 minutes a game.
"We didn't have the best player in the tournament or maybe even the best 1-through-5 players," Dixon said. "But we definitely had the best 1-through-12. We were going to win with our depth."
It would have been nice to have more time to celebrate the gold medal, especially in New Zealand, where Dixon played professionally in the late 1980s and got his first taste of coaching by leading a team made up of players from the indigenous Maori people. But there were those recruits to see in Georgia. And Dixon already is thinking about his Pitt team next season. That could be his biggest challenge. He must replace four starters, including stars DeJuan Blair, Sam Young and Levance Fields, from the team that went 31-5 last season and made it to the NCAA tournament's round of eight.
Dixon isn't blinking.
"I remember the year we lost Brandin Knight, Donatas Zavackas and Ontario Lett and people thought it was the end of the world," he said. "Just two years ago, we lost three starters [Aaron Gray, Antonio Graves, Levon Kendall] and had two others [Mike Cook, Fields] go down with serious injuries early in the season. We had to replace five starters that year.
"We can replace players."
It's hard to doubt Dixon after his many Pitt accomplishments: the 163 wins, the six consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament at a school that went just once between 1992 and 2001, the Big East Conference regular-season title in '04 and the league tournament championship in '08.
"I'm smart enough to realize the importance of putting myself around good people," he said. "You do that, good things are going to happen."
It's nice to think Pitt will be able to keep Dixon, just 43, for the long haul. This latest feat will make him an even more attractive candidate every time one of college basketball's big jobs opens up. What's refreshing is that he seems to know he already has one of the sport's big jobs. It's instructive that he showed no apparent interest in the openings at Arizona and Southern California after last season despite being raised on the West Coast and fully knowing there are plenty more great players there, especially in Los Angeles, than in Western Pennsylvania.
"Obviously, there's a sense of loyalty I have to Pitt," Dixon said. "But I don't want that to take away from the fact that I recognize what a terrific place I'm at. I'm in a city that I love and my family loves. And I'm a part of a university that continues to grow and ascend in reputation."
The basketball team's success plays a big role.
Dixon's success.
Now, on top of everything, the man is a world champion.
Talk about ascending in reputation.

- This report evaluates the European Commission's (EC) proposal to calculate Member States' targets for emissions not included in the Emission Trading System (ETS). It is concluded that, for the Netherlands, the non-ETS emission caps as proposed by the EC would result in an emission cap of 105 Mt CO2 equivalent by 2020. Emission caps have also been calculated for the years between 2013 and 2020. Non-ETS emission levels by 2020 would be around the calculated ESD cap for 2020. Policies of the current Dutch Government have not been included in this update.

Hey guys, I have been wanting to build a DIY amp for a while. I am pretty skilled in soldering, but, I have never read a schematic before. If I had an actual parts list, and a step by step instruction manual, I could do it.
The Beta22 looks very complex, and very costly. I don't really want to spend too much on it.
I don't really know many DIY projects that I could do, that have a relatively easy to follow guide, so if you guys could help me out picking one, it would be fantastic! Thanks!

Room was dirty. Booked room 2 months in advance but request for a ground floor room was not approved. Eggs were inedible by family members who tried them. Pastries were stale on a Saturday morning. Jeremy, the dining room aid, talked at you in a loud voice, knows it all and was obnoxious. Not again!
Decided to stay here based on price plus previous experience in the past couple of years with Best Western Plus. Would never have gone to a Best Western in the 70s thru 90s as they were getting dated and old. They seem to have come out with the next generation of motels and we have been very pleased with the ones we have stayed out recently (especially in Canada). This one in MacAlester was very clean and had great a/c with a remote. Just a stopover from our trip from Missouri back to Texas. Did not want to spend a lot for just a place to sleep and leave. It exceeded my expectations and was very very good price. The King sized bed was very firm and comfortable and the TV was a large flat screen - something that I find essential. Nothing fancy but very nice, considering we are used to Marriott Courtyards and Hampton Inns. Best bang for the buck. Quiet, with no road noise. Nice casino a mile down the road as well. Breakfast was great - eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, fruit, cereal, pastry, etc.. We will stop there again on our next trip!.
It was a descent hotel. Did not agree with their rating process but what can you do?. The breakfast guy was great and cared about his customer pleasing. The rooms were clean and it basically suited our needs.
We were extremely pleased with the grounds, location, personnel, breakfast, rooms and we travel quite a bit. This was perfect for us and now we have a new favorite destination. You will love it and all of the fun things to do here. We are looking forward to coming back in 5 days. Thank you Owners for taking such pride in your Best Western Inn and Staff. Donna & Jim McGregor,TX
We did not know that McAlester was in middle of a fall festival and most rooms within 100 miles were already booked. Luckily we called Best Western Inn and talked to Lisa. She had a room upstairs. So we hoofed it to the Best Western. and in the meantime, Lisa found us a downstairs room. When we registered, splitting the room costs, etc., Lisa made everything easy. After driving many hours, being tired, cranky, etc., this was such a relief! We walked into our room and gave a big happy sigh. Room was spotless and welcoming! It was such a relief after spending 3 days at War Eagle Festival (which was great) but in less than acceptable accommodations! The next morning had a good, tasty breakfast. All breakfast items were hot, available, no waiting for refills. Best Western caused our fall festival tour to end on a rested and comfortable note! Thank you.
Great Motel, clean and quiet. Love the breakfast and easy check-in and out. The staff is very polite and friendly. You can beat the value for your money. Can't wait to return next year! Thank you to all the staff and help that make our stay wonderful.
This Best Western property is older, but very clean and everything was in working order. The bed was comfortable, and the HVAC worked properly. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful. This was a stay of one night on our way to another destination. It was a perfect room for this type of stay.
Everything about this hotel was great: from accessibility to accommodations. Lisa, the desk manager, was extremely professional, personable and polite. Thank you for a great experience! Did I mention this was a great experience?
Great place to stay while visiting the town. Lots of places to eat around the area and easy to get too. It was very easy to check in and she was very friendly. I asked for a first floor room and one close to the office when I made my reservations and that is what they gave me. The hotel is 2 floors. The first floor has exterior doors and the second floor has exterior corridor. The room was clean. Beds were very comfortable. Big flat TV. We stayed 2 nights. The hot breakfast is the normal items, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy, etc. The person running the breakfast made sure the food was full and hot. There is a place to park big trucks and campers. If I am in this town again I will stay here for sure.
Before booking, you should know that this hotel has exterior corridors. Although the rooms appear to be renovated, my room did not seem clean, including some stray hairs on the sheets. It's also on the outskirts of town, near a truck stop. I would not choose this hotel again.
Group vacation on motorcycles. We stayed at several Best Westerns. This was the best of them all. The staff was kind and very helpful! Loved having warm cookies on arrival :) The rooms were very clean and comfortable! I thought I was at a Best Western Plus, to my surprise it was a regular Best Western. I highly recommend this Best Western. It is very apparent that they care about their visitors! Thank you for a Wonderful Stay!!
We arrived at the hotel late so I did not have time to make a reservation. The room was right on time. The room was none smoking very comfortable. We were passing through. It was a very good stay and a 12 p.m. check-out which was good.
This is my halfway point heading to and from Texas. I look forward to my stay. Staff is always so friendly. Rooms are clean . I can count on a much needed rest. Beds are very comfortable. Pets are welcome at no additional cost and Murphy can run around by the fenced in pool while my granddaughter takes a dip to wind down. Food is centrally located. There is a diner right across the parking lot. Breakfast is included in your stay. Thank you Lisa for always adding my BW rewards for me before I even arrive so I know I get my points. You and your staff are amazing. See you nest week.
We were on our way home from visiting family in Illinois and needed a good night's sleep. I was reading reviews of the hotels and this Best Western had a good rating. We hadn't stayed in a Best Western in a long time, and were pleasantly surprised. This hotel had all new furniture and was very clean. We slept good and enjoyed breakfast the next morning. The front desk was very friendly too. We will stay there again.
Our room was small and clean -had everything you wanted, almost. If you have to dry your hair bring your own hair dryer, theirs was a dud. We were disappointed the pool is closed, nobody mentioned that - actually packed swimsuits. Breakfast is filling and coffee is hot. Maid does a great job.Our TV was possessed, it came on every morning at 6am and it was only static. We restarted it 3-4 times and couldn't get it to stop, weirdness. We had a busy week, and it is centrally located, so OK if you don't want fancy and just want sleep.
Room was clean, nice and the bed was comfortable. Nice amenities and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this Inn without any hesitation. The desk recommended a small restaurant/coffee shop across the parking lot and that was good as well.
Very clean rooms, amazing staff, especially Lisa at the check-in desk. Epitome of southern hospitality and military friendly! Needed a room on short notice and had no problems here! Very nice place to stay, will come again. Highly recommended!!!
Just stayed in this hotel one night but was surprised by the king room and how nice it was. Lobby of the hotel was very nice and the staff were very friendly and welcoming! This room was awesome and the price was right!!. Didn't get a chance to take advantage of the breakfast so I can't help you there, but they do have a warm breakfast from what I heard. I stayed in room 224 and was very happy with the accommodations. Modern and very pleasant!!
If you are going through Mcalister and are looking for somewhere to stay, look no further. The rooms are clean, decent facilities and staff pleasant. The breakfasts are pleasant and there is also free wifi.
Great staff always friendly and helpful, newly remodled and they keep it very clean. Its my go to place in Mcalester best rates and quality in town. I have been coming here for years and I will keep coming. Great for families recreation or business.
My wife and I stayed here for 2 days. It was was really nice and cozy. We enjoyed the fact there were several restaurants around to choose from. .The receptionist, Diana, was extremely helpful and very kind. We will definitely return to this location.
If you are in the area and want a motel this is a good one. Staff is friendly and rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast is an adequate one provided plus there is a restaurant on site. Beds are comfortable.
Great place to stay! Lady at the desk was super awesome! Nice and clean room as well with everything I could possibly need. The lady upfront even offered to match my rates with another hotel I had checked out. So she then said $69.99 I took the deal!
Great clean room and breakfast! I would be sure to stop here on the way to Texas anytime! Biscuits and gravy and waffles were a big hit! Eggs were not as good. Coffee bold as it should be for travelers hitting the road.
A pleasant stay in McAlester. We stayed here over a year ago & it still is a good stay.. Rooms are comfortable, beds good. Nice well maintained breakfast room. As a note, we were here during huge all night thunderstorms & the room was very quiet. Would not have known it was pouring outside. Had no problems here. Would stay here again.
we have used this facility many times enroute to and from austin, texas, and always been satisfied. we prefer the old fashioned motel style where we can park right outside our room without having o traipse through a lobby. also, i can sit on the tailgate of my van and smoke a post drive cigar. now-adays i also am seeking out handicap accessible rooms (use of a walker). this inn fails a bit in that category: the room is pretty crowded with a walker in use and the bathroom is not fully ada-ready; that is no walk in shower. but the staff is always friendly.
My husband, our dog and I arrived on a cold, rainy night - very late at night. Lisa, the front desk clerk, was incredibly accommodating and took care of us right away. The room was AMAZING! Very comfortable bed, fabulous pillows, clean, clean, clean - everything was clean! This is the place to stay when traveling through the area. THANKS to Lisa for her attention and kindness.
I would recommend this to everyone who is passing through and looking for a place to stay! The breakfast was very good with all kinds of treats and such. Also they had biscuits and gravy one of my very favorite meals. The rooms are very nice and you should stay here.
Had an amazing visit! Everything was tidy and clean, the bathroom was very nice, and the over all a great room to stay in. Our host, Lisa, was warm, sweet and welcoming. The breakfast in the morning was also very good... A lovely hotel to stay in, would definitely come again.
1st let me say that if you do not give this place a try you are missing out. I have a construction company which leads me to travel and stay in many Cities and Towns across all of Texas and some in New Mexico and some in Oklahoma. My wife and I took a trip to Mcalester to look around Lake Eufaula. We booked a night at the Candlewood Suites. I am not saying that they were not nice but if the manager couldn't realize which of the employees were not on Meth then they need a visit from their owner. We were going to leave the next evening, however we did not get to visit all that we wanted and so we decided to stay another night. My wife said "ok" but not at Candlewood again. So I pulled into Best Western to check them out. I always ask to see a room before I do anything. This is an older style hotel but you can easily tell they have kept it up to date and it looked really clean. Let me set this up by saying 1st of all I was impressed by the lobby. 2nd Lisa was amazing at accomodating me after asking about the rooms and wanting to see one before I booked one(my wife is handicapped I should add). From there on I was hooked the room was extremely nice and updated to the best of rooms I have stayed, no way I would have went back to Candlewood. Not to mention the rates are very reasonable. We booked and Lisa again made everything so great that we are going back for just a weekend getaway again. The Serta perfect sleeper beds were fantastic and tons of channels. I give everyone my word that if you are travelling thru Mcalester Oklahoma, the Best Western is "THE" place to stay. Not sure who the owners are but if they are smart they will keep Lisa on board because she was awesome and I have stayed and dealt with a great many personnel at Hotels and she is in the tops. Ps. Nice tip the best breakfast in town is right in the parking lot "Marilyns" old time dining experience and home cooking. Was Great too.
This motel was everything the reviews said. We had no problems and stay was quite comfortable in every way. We paid at the beginning of the stay so didn't even have to check out. Internet was good enough to watch Netflix which was not true at many other motels. Very good value.
Excellent stay. The staff working the evening and early morning shifts were very pleasant and professional; Lisa was especially helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The lobby was very attractive and the breakfast area was large, clean and offered a nice selection of hot and cold items. Oklahomans have always seemed a friendly bunch to me, and they can be proud of this example of their hospitality.
The Best Western Inn of McAlester can be seen from and easily accessed from the intersection of US-69 and the George Nigh Expressway. Charli gave us a friendly greeting and told us how to find our room. We had a first floor room accessed directly from the parking lot. It was a pleasant room, clean with complimentary earth tone colors and wall hangings. There was a large closet pole and shelf. A sink counter and mirror were outside of a bathroom that contained the shower and toilet. Furnishings included a TV on top of a large chest, two beds, desk, plenty of lighting. The beds were comfortable and not too high off the floor. The pillows were comfortable. The clock didn't display any numbers, so we asked for a wake-up call and got it promptly. We mentioned the clock when checking out. Breakfast included eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, cereal, waffles, juice, coffee, milk. The breakfast attendant was a very gracious lady.
Lisa graciously found us a room when we arrived w no reservation. Squeaky clean, confortable bed, quiet, and a great diner next door. HIghly recommend this top notch hotel with and accomodating staff.
We enjoyed our stay very much. We came in late but our room was there waiting. Staff was very nice and helpful. We have stayed there for the last four years to attend a car event in the area. Brought four other couples with us this year. Will stay again next year, I'm sure.
Our son attends school in Arkansas, and McAlester is a natural stopping point on for us on the way to Fayetteville. We first stayed at this hotel on a very cold February night. Since the car heater wasn't working very well, we were cold and tired and stopped at the first place we could find. When we checked in though, we found Lisa behind the counter--very professional, friendly, and helpful. That first experience was so pleasant that we plan to stay at this hotel on a regular basis. We've stayed there a few times since that first night and found the service consistent with all the employees, not just Lisa. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, the internet works well, and the breakfast is good. If, like us, you are tired of cheap motels that leave the light on for you or have lobbies that reek of incense, then this is the place for you.
I organize a weekend getaway for a regional car club annually to see the National Scenic Byway, and we have enjoyed staying at the Best Western for four years straight now. The management is wonderful and accommodating, the grounds are always well kept, the rooms are always clean, comfortable, and an excellent value. The Saab Club of Oklahoma has found a home away from home and we will continue to visit this establishment every time we come to the area.
Great staff, Great rooms and breakfast. Easy check-in and out. The Best over all Motel in Oklahoma! Plenty of restaurants near by and shopping. Easy to find. Very quite stay. I love the beds. The rooms were very clean.
If you are looking for a place to stop for the night and you are passing McAlester, OK, this is a wonderful option. I make a point of stopping here every trip between IL and TX. The proprietor, Lisa, is a treat to interact with. She is always pleasant and makes sure you know she is available to make your stay a good one. Something that is important to me is that they have compostable heavy duty paper plates, bowls, and beverage cups.
We've stayed in a lot of hotels in this price range, this was by far the best for the value! Room was updated with nice tile work throughout the bath. Breakfast was good. Lisa at the desk was very helpful and accommodating, even helped us book a room in another Best Western in another town. We will come back.
Older motel, very clean. Nice decor, most importantly, comfy bed. Didn't get complimentary shampoo, lotion daily. Which I needed. Helpful staff. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Fair prices. Road to get there is terrible. Some restaurants in area.
We were traveling with elderly parents and stopped to check on rooms at the Best Western Inn of McAlester, OK. Lisa was extremely helpful in getting us two rooms together, on the ground floor, and by the ice machine. She also suggested Marilyn's Restaurant located next to the hotel, which had home cooking at good prices and was open until 10 pm. She also let us know that the pool was still open and didn't close until 1100 pm. The rooms were clean and quiet. It was a great place for us to stay and her suggestion for dinner was much appreciated.
Great service, great rooms, great hotel! You will be so happy you stopped, the service was truly amazing. She was caring and helpful. The room was ultra-clean, renovated, large screen tv, and the bed was amazing! So thankful I stopped...
A quaint, clean motel with doors facing the outdoors. Plenty of truck parking. The lobby and staff are great!. The HOT breakfast was good too. But the eggs were the usual powdered eggs like most hotels are. The rooms were roomy and clean. The cable TV was ok. Too many channels to choose from and you couldn't tell which ones worked and which ones didn't. Coffee, microwave, fridge in room. The internet was not good. It did work but I was only a couple rooms away from the lobby and I could only get 1 bar. Very slow. Marilyn's Restaurant was right next door and was excellent down home cooking, great wait staff and the prices were very affordable. There was also a Shell convenience store gas station just on the other side of that. Ice machine and vending machines available too. There was no Bible in my room but I am pretty sure it was because someone took it with them. When I told the front desk about it they were surprised and said they would have to get it replaced and hoped it was a blessing to whoever took it.
Depuis : toutes les directions. Le Best Western Inn of McAlester est situé sur l'US 69 South Bypass, à 4 kilomètres au sud-ouest de l'US 270 et à 8 kilomètres au nord-est de la sortie 63A de l'Indian Nation Turnpike.

As many of you who follow me on twitter already know, we recently adopted a beautiful 4 year old tabby named Darren. He has quickly become a member of the family, while making it clear that he sets the rules of engagement …LOLZ Katz. Being the pest that I am, I sent PeTA a tweet announcing the adoption and asked what good they had done for the day other than dehumanizing people at every opportunity. Yeah, you could call me a shit disturber.
Well of course we ended up going at it once again. Out of all their privilege denial though the following tweets I think speaks the loudest.
Does this argument remind you of anything? It sure struck a chord with me. Does it not seem stunningly similar to the "I have black friends and therefore I could not be a racist argument?" Yeah, I'm thinking it sounds just like that.
Hello PeTA officials, you could employ 50 thousand marginalized bodies and that still would not make your racist/sexist/homophobic activities okay. As an organization that is run by white people you do not get to tell a WOC what is and isn't racist. You have neither the experience or the right. Follow me down the yellow brick road and learn some anti-racism 101. What matters is how your activities are perceived by the people that you are addressing. That's right, racism is about those it impacts and not those that perpetuate it to present an ideology. So, when you decided it was a good idea to dress up like the KKK needlessly triggering POC who have a history of being terrorized by this organization, your intent was meaningless in comparison to how it affected the viewer. Did you apologize for triggering people, hell no. You defended your right to dress up a white man and woman in white sheets and have them hand out fliers. It was also a nice touch to have a woman of color defend your hatred. White people do the crime and then have a minority try to justify it cause hey hearing it from one of "ours" is supposed to legitimate it. Then to make sure that I was aware of their right to oppress and exploit at will, PeTA ended with the following: Basically despite the fact that they have been repeatedly informed that their methods of engagement are offensive, their ideology takes preference over anyone that might have a legitimate right to be offended. It is far easier to put your fingers in your ears and deny the hurt that you have done (tactic of privileged bodies) than to own the fact that you play a role in making sure our society continues to be divided by race. sexuality and gender. What they cannot comprehend is the fact that people do not have a problem with their message, it is the method. You cannot fight for the rights of anything while employing the Master's Tools, you only perpetuate the same kind of thinking that you claim to be fighting against.

I just want to comment on this year's Cardboard Classic. I would suppose this event should be held for everyone in this community. I am truly disgusted by the behavior that went on there. Most of the people who participated were extremely drunk. People were totally out of control throwing beer at the crowd and ice balls. I saw at least two people who were bleeding. My daughter was nailed in the face with a snowball, or should we say, an ice ball. The behavior at this event is obviously for the party crowd of Steamboat and not for families. It amazes me how the law can be broken on the slopes. If this went on anywhere else in town, people would be arrested.

2:00 amNature [#2814H] Bears of the Last Frontier: The Road North Part 2 of 3: The Road North - This hour explores the world of black bears caught in the crossroads of urban development in Anchorage and the wilderness. This is a new normal for bears and for their human neighbors. Some bears are so comfortable living in urban surroundings that their primary habitat is a golf course. In residential areas, bears frequently raid garbage bins and birdfeeders for easy snacks. But these behaviors are less than ideal for bears and residents alike. Morgan heads north out of Anchorage to Denali National Park, where the mountains loom over treeless plains and bears get by on a diet of thousands of berries a day. The grizzlies share the enormous park with foxes, wolves, and moose - and with one intrepid bear biologist and his team. Morgan continues his journey north on a bone-shaking 610-mile motorcycle journey from Denali to Prudhoe Bay along the only Alaskan Highway to reach the Arctic.

Strings are truly tiny - smaller than an atomby the same factor that a tree is smaller than the entire universe.

BALTIMORE -- Alex Rodriguez's eyes darted to the television screen as reporters gathered around his locker in the New York Yankees' clubhouse.
Instead of fielding a question, he asked one.
"What inning is it?" he inquired.
Moments after the Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 Wednesday night, Rodriguez and his teammates rushed off the field to find out if the victory thrust New York into sole possession of first place in the AL East, one game ahead of Boston.
After Manny Ramirez made the final out for the Red Sox in a 7-2 loss to Toronto, there was no commotion in the New York clubhouse. Just a feeling of satisfaction that will last at least until Thursday night's game against Baltimore.
"It doesn't mean anything unless you come in and play well tomorrow," Rodriguez said. "It's obviously better to have a one-game lead than a tie, but we still have to come out here and play an important game tomorrow night."
Rodriguez hit a milestone homer, Derek Jeter singled in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning and the Yankees used a fine pitching performance by Shawn Chacon to get past the Orioles.
Boston and New York meet in a three-game series beginning Friday night. The Yankees' victory Wednesday means New York will need no more than two wins at Fenway Park to capture the division crown.
"There's no comfort. We know what the Boston Red Sox are all about. We saw what they did last year. That's very clear in our minds," Rodriguez said, referring to Boston's comeback against New York in the ALCS last October on the way to a World Series title.
One night after the Yankees and Orioles combined for 26 runs and 26 hits, the teams locked up in a tense pitching duel that turned in New York's favor in the latter innings.
First, Rodriguez hit his 47th homer off Daniel Cabrera (10-13) to tie it at 1 in the sixth. The shot broke Joe DiMaggio's single-season club record for home runs by a right-handed batter, set in 1937.
New York went up 2-1 in the seventh. After Jorge Posada hit a leadoff single and Cabrera hit Bernie Williams with a pitch, Robinson Cano moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt against Tim Byrdak. Jeter then hit an opposite-field single to right off Todd Williams.
"Any way you can get it done now," Jeter said. "Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year."
Rodriguez followed with a fly ball to right. Bernie Williams tagged from third, but was thrown out on a precise throw by Jay Gibbons in a close play at the plate.
Chacon (7-3) allowed one run and four hits in 6 2/3 innings. Tom Gordon held the lead for Mariano Rivera, who got three quick outs for his 43rd save.
Baltimore has lost 10 of 11, and this one really stung interim manager Sam Perlozzo.
"I'm not happy about this loss, OK? For multiple reasons. You can guess yourself," he said, tersely.
Although he didn't say it, much of his anger was directed at the strike zone of plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.
"There were a few pitches, in my opinion, the umpire missed," catcher Javy Lopez said. "That's when the rally really started. Instead of getting a strikeout, there was a base hit. There were a few like that."
Lopez put the Orioles ahead 1-0 in the second inning by driving a 2-0 fastball into the left-field seats. It was his 14th homer, and second in two games.
Lopez doubled in the fourth to put runners on second and third with two outs, but Chacon retired Luis Matos on a popup.
Cabrera breezed through the first five innings, giving up two hits and two walks without allowing a runner past first base. All that changed in the sixth, when Rodriguez connected on an 0-1 pitch to tie it and break DiMaggio's long-standing record.
"The win, obviously, is the most important thing right now," Rodriguez said. "The record is certainly something I'll think about once this whole thing is over. The home run was at a huge point in the game; Cabrera had us dazzled there for five or six innings. It was good to tie it up and get some momentum."
In the bottom half, Melvin Mora drew a leadoff walk and reached third with two outs before B.J. Surhoff bounced out to third.
- Rodriguez's homer was New York's 223rd, tying the 2002 club for fourth-most in Yankees history. The club record is 242, set last year.
- Lopez has at least one hit in 40 of 55 games since coming off the disabled list (broken hand) on July 25.

Pictured is the windowed wall in the great room of an abandoned synagogue that had been in Saginaw, Michigan. This is were wedding and bar/bas mitzvahs receptions would have been held. Where klezmer would have been played with gusto, where people danced, celebrated a hopeful future, and engaged in community functions. It was a a truly beautiful space I was able to capture just months before the structure was razed.

Medicinal tablets retrieved from a 2,000-year-old shipwreck suggest that classical Mediterranean civilizations had sophisticated drugs.
Around 130 B.C.E., a merchant ship sank just off the coast of Italy's Tuscany region. The wreck was spotted in 1974 and dubbed the Relitto del Pozzino after the beach near where it was found. Archaeological excavations in 1989 and 1990 yielded glass bowls, amphoras for carrying wine, lamps, and tin and bronze vessels all likely to have come from the eastern Mediterranean.
There were also artifacts presumably contained in a wooden chest that had rotted away: wooden vials, a cup possibly used for blood-letting, and other objects likely to have been found in an ancient physician's medical bag. Among them was a small tin cylinder known at the time as a "pyxis," that contained five tablets that were about 4 cm in diameter and had been preserved from the elements by a tight-fitting lid. Italian scientists recently analyzed fragments from one tablet and found primarily two zinc-rich materials (hydrozincite and smithsonite), as well as various animal and plant residues, pollen grains, beeswax, and pine resin.
In a paper appearing online Jan. 7 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists argue that the writings of Pliny the Elder, a Roman, and Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek, both recognized by classicists for their writings on medicinal materials, claim these zinc compounds were once thought beneficial for the eyes and the skin. And they note that the Latin word for eyewash, collyrium, derives from a Greek word meaning "small round loaves."
"This is a fascinating paper on a very interesting set of new finds," says Richard Evershed, a chemist at University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. He adds that the chemical and microscopic analyses "seem robust, although there are aspects I would have pursued in further detail." He is less sure that the materials were really used to treat the eyes, though he agrees the case is strengthened by the links to the classical literature.
The tablets were originally thought to be vitamin pills sailors might take while on long voyages. But the researchers have concluded that "the tablets were directly applied on the top of the eyes," says Erika Ribechini, a chemist at the University of Pisa and a co-author of the report.
Despite lingering questions about the use of the tablets, the study "provides a further example of the high level of knowledge our ancestors possessed concerning the properties of natural materials and technologies required to refine and manipulate them to provide improved products," Evershed says.
