"Must stay when at Volcano National Park"
Outstanding accommodation well worth every penny and location is fantastic. If looking for a calm, clean and gorgeous place to rest when coming from a day of hiking and enjoyment of the Volcano National Park this is the place to stay. Also with the room came all yummy treats and drinks included with the room. Love it :):)Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Charming and Romantic"
Ok so first thing you need to know is that Crater's Edge is not located in some resort area with tourists running about. If that's what your looking for this is not the place for you. If you were like us, looking to get away & stay in place that was romantic & charming, Craters's Edge is it. When we arrived Jay was there to greet us. He was very courteous […] & we found him to be very helpful & knowledgeable about some of the places we wanted to visit on the island. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that they provide umbrellas, flashlights & hiking sticks for guest use. Conservation is very important to them & we're happy to hear that water usage on the property is actually recaptured rain water & they have recycling bins on-site. While there is dense forest around the property, my girlfriend was delighted that bug were almost non existent, not to mention it was nice to wake up in morning to the sounds of birds singing instead of honking cars & sirens we were used to. Our busy schedule did not allow us to use the outdoor hot tub, but definitely check it out. The only thing I would say is that when it rained at night the drops can be noisy on the roof. Also you need to be aware that restaurants & cafe close in the village close around 8-9 pm, there are other places to go to but they might be a drive. Overall we had a great time & really enjoyed our stay. We hope to return with more time. Uzziniet vairākPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Excellent room but substandard breakfast"
The location was good, very close to the volcano national park. Room was excellent however, the emergency flashlight and sauna did not work. One arrival there was a note left asking us to ring a number to get a key code to get access to the room. This was not very helpful as we did not have a mobile phone that worked however the biggest disappointment […] was the "continental breakfast". This consisted of some fresh fruit which was okay, but a number of creals bars, pot noddles, a small amount of milk and packet food. The quality was poor, there was not enough for our 3 day visit and it was not renewed. Uzziniet vairākPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

"The Crater's Edge in Volcano Village, Big Island"
This is a fabulous getaway spot. The 'Edge' has just two rooms connected by a large, covered deck to the owner's quarters. Our room was surrounded on three sides by floor to ceiling windows and a private lanai. Curtains are provided but are not needed as the rain forest surrounds you. The hotel is a bit hard to find if you arrive at night, as we did, […] as the streets are not lit and the rainforest makes it very dark. The privacy and quiet are wonderful. A tad expensive, but the room had a fireplace and all the amenities and was glorious and restful and only about 2 miles from the Volcanoes National Park.

At the Crater's Edge was the most serene, lovely, enjoyable place we stayed on our trip to Hawaii. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

"The Craters Edge B & B"
The room is beautiful, warm and relaxing and very welcoming after a good hike around the nearby volcano's. We were provided with very tasty homemade cake and fresh fruit for breakfast. The only slightly negative comment is that it's a 20-30 mins walk to the nearer restaurants. However, because streetlights are not permitted the night sky is awesome […] to look at (when it's not raining). Uzziniet vairākPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
We stayed here for 2 nights and found it to be relaxing and quiet. This B and B is located out of the way on the other side of the highway to the village. Make sure you have GPS to find it especially at night as the streets are very dark without street lights. We arrived to fresh baked banana bread in our room. It was also stocked with fresh fruit, […] drinks and snacks. The room had plenty of space a a lovely bathroom with a shower and spa bath. There is also an outdoor spa on the site. The only downside was our room overlooked the driveway and we had to shut the curtains for privacy. It is in a good location only 5 minutes from the Volcanoes National Park and a few minutes from the village. Uzziniet vairākPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

"Not a bed and breakfast"
The room was beatiful but this is not a bed and breakfast. There was a voucher for food at a cafe on the other side of town and no daily maid service.

Dirty Projectors
David Longstreth on writing personal songs and moving away from abstraction.
By Brandon Stosuy , July 2, 2012
Pitchfork: When "Gun Has No Trigger" first came out, you mentioned to me that you thought it was the best song you'd written. What made you think that?
DL: One thing I wanted to do with these songs was to figure out how to make the feeling of the melody and the feeling of the words match. When you make a melody that doesn't come with words from the get-go, sometimes you're just thinking about random vowel sounds that go with it-- and it's really, really hard to write lyrics that actually obey the vowel sounds. Though it sounds silly to say I thought it was the best song I've written because I successfully obeyed the vowel sounds. [laughs] But I feel like there's a lock there between the words and the melody on that song. And that song gets at something that I've been trying to do for a while as a songwriter, which is to take it to the most basic core of whatever the song's about, and not really dress it up with lots of unnecessary ornamentation.
Dirty Projectors: "Gun Has No Trigger" (via SoundCloud)
Pitchfork: At another point, you had said to me that you put more of yourself out there in this album. Do you still think that's true?
DL: I don't know. All the music that I've written comes out of the shit that I'm obsessed with at the time, but maybe this one is more like: This is who I am. They say Sonic Youth was the first band that was less about who they are than what's in their record collections, but this one is less like a carefully curated collection of interests and tastes.
Pitchfork: Keyboardist and singer Angel Deradoorian is currently on hiatus from the band? Did you have any songs written for her that you had to change around?
DL: No, I had already written all the songs by then. Basically, I started writing songs on Amber's birthday, in June of last year, so we had everybody come up and it was the first time we'd seen each other in a couple months. It had been the longest time we'd been apart from one another as a band for years. So we all hung out for a week. It's like that line: "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
Angel is in the midst of the first big relationship of her life, and that's super important. Being in a band can be really toxic to being in a relationship, considering all the touring and everything. Sometimes when you're on tour, it feels like you're living the same day over and over again. She joined the band when she was around 19 and she had been in it for five years. It's important to grow. The energy was just like: Is this the best thing right now? It wasn't. We were both feeling it. It was difficult to start the conversation, but once it started, it felt clear that it was the right thing. She's got to figure out her steez as a songwriter, too.
Pitchfork: Outside your records, you guys do a lot of collaborations with people like Björk and David Byrne, but there aren't any guest spots on your proper albums, which is sort of refreshing. Nowadays, on the indie level, it seems like every song gets seven remixes or covers with different featured guests. It can feel cluttered after awhile.
DL: Do you feel that music is imitating social networking?
Pitchfork: To a degree.
DL: Yeah, sometimes I feel that way. It's depressing. Clearly, things are definitely changing in big ways as far as the way we consume music, listen to music, and what we expect from music. You think about, like, [20th-century classical composers] Alban Berg, Schoenberg, and Webern sitting around in some living room in Vienna and being like, "We are the end of music. We are the end of this tradition. Music is done." But then in New Orleans, people were playing jazz. And it becomes a different thing. The energy goes somewhere else. So I hesitate to include something pessimistic about that stuff. But maybe it has something to do with that idea that all other media goes through whatever the dominant media of an era is, like how painting imitated music in the Romantic Era. Maybe that's happening. I think certain people would be moved to be nostalgic about America's glory days, when the music set the tone for the cultural conversation and popular musicians had this absurd level of authority. But that's not this period.
Pitchfork: You're playing Jay-Z's Made In America festival in September, how did that gig come about?
DL: We got this handwritten-note PDF from Jay-Z inviting us to do it. It was just: "I'm holding a festival. I want you to be there." It seemed pretty classy. His handwriting is interesting. It's more rounded than I thought it would be. It's gonna be a fucking awesome show.
Pitchfork: I remember when you did "Stillness Is the Move", you were saying how you wanted it to be on New York rap/R&B station Hot 97. So, in a way, this is your moment to play Jay-Z's festival.
DL: Yeah, totally. With "Stillness", I don't think I appreciated how very codified all the different genres were in radio formats and the various constituencies of the culture. But music is music too.
Pitchfork: I think Nicki Minaj is someone who's doing pretty weird music in several different styles, and breaking down these rigid formats a bit.
DL: Yeah, she was always trying to be the full deal. I like Nicki. We've been obsessed with that video for "Stupid Hoe"-- that's the best video I've ever seen in my life. I like that song, too. It's so crazy. I remember when that Kelis song "Milkshake" came out, and just how extreme it seemed in terms of that really high triangle part and then the really low subs and then her voice in the middle. It's that idea of the disco smile, where there's lots of high frequencies and then lots of low and not much muddy, shitty, rocky middle-- and then just making that into this digital cavern where it's just noises. I remember thinking, "Where can you go from 'Milkshake'?" But then you listen to "Stupid Hoe" and you're like, "That's where you can go."
Pitchfork: Yeah, that idea of taking things further. I mean, Lady Gaga almost feels like collage at times, all of these different musical parts coming together. It feels very cut and paste.
DL: Yeah, I find that digital cut and paste aspect shocking when it happens in country music. When you think about crazy textural juxtapositions and pushing things to the edge of the medium-- about how the internet creates this a-historical archive of sound that an artist will draw from at will-- contemporary country isn't necessarily the first thing that's going to come to your mind. But then you listen to a song like Eric Church's "Homeboy", which I love, or Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem", and the recordings are insane. That might have been an inspiration for a song like "Offspring Are Blank" on our new album.
Pitchfork: You guys made a film, Hi Custodian, to go along with the new album, how did that come about?
DP: I'm super interested in visual, and I love that being in a band can be as much about making an image as it is about making a sound. Sometimes you get really bitter about how the prettiest images don't typically end up attached to the most interesting music. But I just take that as a challenge to try to do something cool.
The movie is not like Graffiti Bridge or Purple Rain or Hard Day's Night where the album and the film were conceived as one thing. The album is definitely very much it's own thing, and this little movie that we made comes after the fact. In a way, it's a little ironic that this is the Dirty Projectors album that has a little thing attached to it because it doesn't all proceed from one overarching concept. But actually, that fact that each of the songs are so different-- lyrically and production-wise-- opened up a lot of opportunity to think about making weird pictures. My brother is a painter and, to an extent, I am who I am only because I was just trying to copy him; I used to be way more interested in drawing and painting and shit than I was into music.
I'm definitely like a Philistine when it comes to movies. When I was first meeting the director of photography, the brilliant Bobby Bukowski, he was like, "What's your favorite film?" I was like, "Probably Die Hard." His face just went blank. In the movie, stuff happens but it happens at a pretty glacial pace. It's more about the interaction of this constellation of images, if that doesn't sound too grand.
Watch the trailer for Hi Custodian:
Pitchfork: Were you at all inspired by Kanye West's "Runaway"?
DL: It would be hard to deny. I love that, for Kanye, there's no difference between the epic and the personal. That makes him sound like a really grandiose douche-- which, I don't think anyone, himself included, could contest-- but at the same time, it's really amazing. I love the scope of his perfectionism.
So yeah, I loved the "Runaway" movie. I loved how in-between it was. I loved how you got the sense that Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was never over, because the movie had different versions of the same songs that were on the album. The mixing was different, the mastering wasn't as hot. At one point, I talked to one of the guys who mixed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to potentially mix this album, and I was like, "I love that album so much, I love the production, and I love the way it feels-- but does it have to be so hot?" It literally sounds lower-fi than it probably did when they were working on it because it's mastered so fucking hot. I was like, "Why did you do that?" And he was like, "That's just what Kanye wants. He just wants it to be louder than Jay's album." I love that.
Pitchfork: Do you feel an affinity for Kanye as a songwriter, or composer, or musician?
DL: Well, yeah, obviously. There's something immoderate about Kanye; for someone who's so intensely popular, he seems like a process-based artist. Fuck it-- I don't know what to say about him that really sounds new, but I do admire how hard he tries.

QB James Franklin will not play
Missouri quarterback James Franklin will not play for the Tigers against Arizona State on Saturday, coach Gary Pinkel told ESPN's Shelley Smith.
SEC blog
ESPN.com's Chris Low and Edward Aschoff write about all things SEC football in the conference blog.
Pinkel had indicated he expected Franklin to play, but told Smith on the television broadcast that Franklin "can't play."
Redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser started for Franklin.
Franklin, who underwent shoulder surgery this spring, was injured last Saturday in Missouri's 41-20 loss to Georgia when Bulldogs linebacker Jarvis Jones hit his arm as it was going forward on a pass attempt.
One source said Franklin didn't throw much this week because his arm was sore, but the injury isn't expected to be serious.
On the season, Franklin has passed for 400 yards with three touchdowns and one interception on 38 of 62 passing. He has also carried the ball 26 times for 64 yards.
Berkstresser made his first career start. In two games this season, he has passed for 60 yards and a touchdown on 5 of 5 passing.

"Great for just a place to sleep"
The place is small and minimally staffed. The people were great and very accommodating. Located near throughway exit and food but not right in the middle of busy area so rest was peaceful. Convenient. I would highly recommend to anyone just looking for a place to sleep ... not really a good option if you mean to "vacation" in your hotel room.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Motel room was fairly clean, but had odor of mold. The bed was comfortable, but the motel room was very old, very worn , very small and very cluttered.....not for more than one person. We would have left w/in the first few minutes if we could have found another motel, but the surrounding motels were booked and we didn't know the area!!!!. What was really […] irratating was spending the amount of money we did for such a horrible room. I would never recommend this motel to anyone!!!!! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The room was clean and there was wifi and basic TV. It stank of stale cigarettes though which to me was nauseating and interfered with my thoughts about the cleanliness of the room. Fine for one night I guess.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Royal Inn in Victor"
This hotel was on the property adjacent to another hotel I've frequently stayed in - very convenient to the Thruway and expressway. The room was okay: comfortable, but small, and in need of updating. It was labeled as non-smoking, but it was obvious that it used to be a smoking room. At check-in, the owner/operator was gone, and the desk clerk could […] not operate the credit card machine, so I had to pay cash. It was about half the cost of the other hotel, so I guess I got what I paid for. It will do in a pinch, but don't expect the quality of a reputable chain. If you're nostalgic for an older motel at a low rate, this is it. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"An awesome little retro budget motel"
This motel feels like a trip back in time to my childhood when we drove across the country in 1976 in my parents' Dodge Dart. We stayed at a lot of ones just like this. Nothing fancy, but clean and friendly. You actually get a real key for your room door -- haven't seen that in years. The location is good, right off the Thruway, and it's also set back […] from the highway and surrounding roads a bit, so it's quiet. You can walk to Wendy's, Burger King, and Denny's easily. If you are looking for upscale, look elsewhere, but I think this motel is a little gem. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Very comfortable"
If you are looking for a inexpensive, and clean motel, consider the Royal Inn.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Cheap but very clean"
We stayed at Royal Inn in Victor for the first time as we could not find any convenient upscale hotels in the area. Very pleasantly surprised to see how well maintained and clean this hotel was for the price. Would not hesitate staying there again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Royal Inn Victor"
For any travelers on the NYS Thruway seeking a true bargain place to rest up for the night or longer, Royal Inn Victor is it! The rates are low, but the service is of the highest, with clean, warm rooms and friendly, hard-working management. The location is right off the Thruway exit nearest to Eastview Mall, to Rochester, to Canandaigua...and cannot […] be beat for ease on and off the major East-West highway in Western NYS. Sure, there is no swimming pool, but in the Finger Lakes Region there are many options for places to swim. You do get a microwave and little frig in your room, plus tasteful decor. And for clean, warm, comfortable lodgings, you simply cannot beat the discount rates! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Fact or fiction, an event management company has many plate's full of options to consider when pondering how to choose proactive marketing companies to manage their SEO and traffic generation. Shysters run the mean streets of the many internet marketing websites in existence, and although it's an unfortunate occurrence for the honest man to run into these scams, the list of ultimately beneficial internet marketing companies can drastically be reduced through some skillful searching, phone calling, and BBB findings.

Discover best results for website with directories
The internet is a vast ocean of unlimited resources. Locating the right information at the right time is an even trickier prospect. It is like the lock and key mechanism where only the perfect key will open the right lock to reveal a treasure trove of information. Search engines help a lot in finding the desired information on the internet. This is done through the use of specific and relevant keywords. Search engines first look up through the list of web directories, then specific web directories of the search topic selected through the keywords and then moves on to check and comb through the website themselves. This is the process through which internet users locate the information required for by them online with the help of websites submitted by web masters and subsequently listed on web directories.

As the House of Representatives nears a landmark vote on green economy legislation this Friday, some environmental organizations are staking hard positions — both for and against its passage. Although most national environmental groups are calling on Congress to "strengthen and pass" the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454), a few groups are going farther. Most notably, the League of Conservation Voters announced Tuesday it would withhold its influential endorsements from any member who votes against the "historic" Waxman-Markey clean energy legislation:
In light of the tremendous importance of this legislation, LCV has made the unprecedented decision that we will not endorse any member of the House of Representatives in the 2010 election cycle who votes against final passage of this historic bill.
In contrast, Friends of the Earth has announced its opposition to the bill, arguing that the support it has received from companies like Duke Energy and Shell Oil has come at too great a price to the environment and the American people:
There's a simple reason polluting and irresponsible corporations support the Waxman-Markey bill: It showers them with hundreds of billions of dollars, but doesn't require them to reduce pollution fast enough to avoid devastating climate change impacts. Worse, the bill guts the EPA's preexisting authority to use the Clean Air Act to reduce this pollution. That means the bill is actually counterproductive — enacting it into law would be a step backward. What we need from Congress is much stronger legislation that puts us on a path to the clean energy future President Obama talked about during his campaign.
At Open Left, progressive blogger Chris Bowers argues that LCV drew its line in the sand in the wrong place. "LCV could have made the strengthening amendments the line in the sand," Bowers explains, but its position "could put the LCV in a position where it works against members of Congress who voted to strengthen the bill" and voted against final passage if they "feel it is too weak."
Center for American Progress John Podesta indirectly responded to Friends of the Earth — which is running ads on progressive and environmental websites — when he called on progressives to support this "imperfect" bill, which he believes still represents a dramatic improvement from the status quo.

Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson announced a proposal Wednesday to pull the work of all water-related federal agencies together into a new National Institute for Fresh Water Science and Technology in Milwaukee.
Based on the National Institutes for Health model, of which Thompson ran as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Service, the new institute would be located in Milwaukee, further affirming the leadership of the Milwaukee Water Council.
Thompson said his plan would create jobs and long-term economic growth by further establishing Milwaukee as the international leader in fresh water science and technology.
"We have an opportunity now to open the floodgates of long-term, sustainable economic growth in the Milwaukee region," said Thompson, a candidate for the U.S. Senate. "Water can be more than just our brand, it can become our economic edge and a spark for an economic and cultural resurgence."
Thompson made his announcement with the Milwaukee Water Council along the shore of Lake Michigan.
"This proposal continues to put Milwaukee on the path to being the place to live, work and invest if you're serious about water," said Thompson. "I share The Milwaukee Water CounciI's dream that Milwaukee can be the Silicon Valley for water, providing long-term economic and job development for the region-and believe this plan is yet another step in the right direction."
The proposed institute would neither be a regulatory agency, nor require additional taxpayer money, rather combining available resources for more efficient use, Thompson said.
"Thanks to the Milwaukee Water Council, we have a clear competitive advantage. No other city is even close to creating an identity around water or building the level of expertise and public-private collaboration that already exists in Milwaukee," Thompson said.
Thompson is a Republican candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in Wisconsin.

Bellagio's Andy Warhol exhibit helps put the pop-art icon into perspective
Wed, Feb 6, 2013 (5:34 p.m.)
Photo: Leila Navidi
- Warhol Out West
- February 8-October 27; daily; 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; $11-$16 ($8 for locals on Wednesday, 5-7:30 p.m.)
- Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, 693-7871
There's Art Before Warhol and Art After Warhol. For a few decades in between, a skinny guy in a white wig went around shaking up absolutely everything—and he's still doing it 26 years after his death.
Warhol Out West—curated by Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art Executive Director Tarissa Tiberti—showcases 59 works on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum. The iconic paintings, photographs, sculptures, prints and wallpaper seem even brighter, shinier and more weirdly provocative because they're here, on the Strip.
Andy Warhol was always headed for Las Vegas. He was one of the first artists to understand the irrepressible appeal of popular culture. The Bellagio exhibit includes key works from the 1960s, including Heinz Tomato Ketchup box sculptures and Campbell's soup can paintings. At a time when top international artists were struggling to express inner thoughts and feelings through abstract paintings, Warhol caused an uproar by serving straight-up Americana.
He got the glam, too. Warhol was fascinated by celebrity faces; he drew, painted, photographed and filmed the famous from the late '50s until his death in 1987. Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Mick Jagger are among those on display at the Bellagio. And surely, the "Double Elvis" series has found its rightful home in Las Vegas (one of its prints recently sold for more than $37 million). Elvis, playing a cowboy and aiming a gun at the viewer, can be read as a defense of celebrity itself.
Warhol came to understand celebrities by turning himself into one. His DIY rise to stardom worked; he is the rare artist whose own face is as recognizable as his art. The 20-some self-portraits included in the Bellagio show flaunt Warhol doing Warhol. Instead of striving for the single portrait that captures the sitter's identity, Warhol focused on the many faces each of us has. Postmodernist long before the word was current, Warhol roved among fine art, performance, film and TV, repeatedly using the same beautiful people as his subject, often in a single work.
At the core of Warhol Out West is the 1986 "Cowboys and Indians" series. Despite the presence of vintage-Vegas colors and neon-like contour lines, poignancy reigns, particularly in the portraits of Native Americans. Here, as elsewhere, the ultimate artist of cheerful surface actually has a deeper message about the myths of American identity for us to consider.
Inspired by the beautiful villages of Europe, the AAA Five Diamond Bellagio overlooks a Mediterranean-blue, 8 ½-acre lake, where fountains perform a magnificent aquatic ballet choreographed to music and lights.
Within Bellagio are award-winning dining experiences including two AAA Five Diamond restaurants, Julian Serrano's Picasso and Le Cirque from the renowned Maccioni family.
Bellagio is home to an impressive collection of luxury retailers including Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Breguet, Prada, Fred Leighton, Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Hermès and OMEGA.
A world-class art gallery, the exquisite Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, the stunning "O" by Cirque du Soleil, a luxurious spa and salon, dynamic nightlife at The Bank, Hyde Bellagio and Lily Bar & Lounge and an elegant casino all add to the extraordinary Bellagio experience.

Keller laments Schalke's tame first half display
Schalke manager Jens Keller believes a tame first half performance against Galatasaray cost his team a place in the last eight of the Champions League.
By FOX SPORTS staff
The Bundesliga club got the proceedings underway with a 17th minute strike from Roman Neustadter, but subsequently took their feet off the pedal to allow Turkish duo Hamit Altintop and Burak Yilmaz to strike back before the break.
Going on an all-out attack in the second period, Schalke managed to level the game through Michel Batos. However, their vulnerabilities at the back ultimately cost them when Umut Bulut fired home an injury-time winner to secure Galatasaray a place in the last eight of the Champions League.
Keller was at a loss for words after the game, but he admitted that his team should have done better in the first period.
"I have no explanation for the first-half performance. We played like we were doing a couple of weeks ago, without the necessary aggression, and everyone put in maybe 10% less than what was needed. We were not proactive and focused enough – we allowed them too much space," Keller explained to uefa.com
"In the second half we dealt with them much better. They played with a diamond in midfield and that had surprised us. We then coped with the challenge much better."
Star striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was forced to sit out of the second leg after picking up a knee injury over the weekend. His manager conceded that Schalke could have done with the services of Huntelaar and his fellow forward Ciprian Marica.
"You must not forget that some of our players were sidelined today [Tuesday]," Keller pointed out.
"The second half was really strong and there is no reason to be depressed now."
Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler admitted his side were gutted to have exited the competition.
"It's very bitter because we were very unlucky to lose," said Draxler.
"I think the second half still confirmed the good progress we have been making in recent weeks and the team believed in it to the end."
Altintop, who previously played for Schalke, insisted his passionate celebration after scoring was not meant to be an affront to his former club but rather a duty towards his new club's supporters, who made up a large proportion of the crowd inside the Arena AufSchalke.
"Of course I am still a Schalke fan, even if nobody wants to believe me," he said.
"I now play for another club and the Galatasaray fans deserve my celebration and my passion, which I showed.
"I hope that doesn't mean the Schalke fans will be angry with me."
Schalke return to domestic action with a league fixture against Nuremberg on Saturday.

"The Googlization of Everything": Has Google turned evil?
As the digital behemoth grows, it's venturing into increasingly sketchy ethical territory. Has it gone too far?
By A. C. GraylingTopics: Google, Nonfiction, Books, Entertainment News
Our enthusiastic embrace of the electronic resources that give us information, communication and community, all at lightning speed and with press-button ease, has changed the world. It changes governments too, as the contemporary Middle East shows. The rising curve of developments in this electronic wizardry has grown breathtakingly steeper in the last two decades, showing no sign of leveling out.
At the forefront of some of these vertiginous developments is Google, a name so iconic that it has become a verb. If you google "Google" you get over 6 billion results (Yahoo gets 4 billion, Microsoft's Bing 250 million, Lycos 25 million, Altavista 16 million. You get the point: Google is way out ahead.) The question is: Is the googlization of everything a uniformly good thing, or should we worry? The answer, according to media expert and professor Siva Vaidhyanathan in his "The Googlization of Everything (and Why We Should Worry)": Yes, we should worry.
His chief reason is that Google is an advertising business, which uses its information services as a way of getting salable information in return. It offers free access to information so that it can profile the people searching for that information, and then auction space to advertisers targeted at those people's profiles.
It is an ingenious business model, but, among other consequences, it raises for searchers the question of whether Google's ranking of information is an accurate reflection of the information's reliability and utility. As Vaidhyanathan points out, Google has convinced us that we should trust it implicitly; most people rarely click past the first three results it offers. "This means," he writes, "that Google, the most flexible yet powerful information filter we use regularly, could come to exercise inordinate influence over our decisions and values." Control knowledge, and you control people: Google would not be the first to realize the significance of that truth.
Moreover, the localization of advertising means that Google does not pass on information about the world at large but about what interests locally, the kind nearby advertisers would prefer us to have so that we can shop with them. Thus Google becomes, says Vaidhyanathan, "more about shopping than learning."
Vaidhyanathan was prompted to examine "googlization" — having our information processed through Google's systems and algorithms before we get it — because when Google began scanning millions of books in 2004 to create a vast digitized library, he saw two problems: that the aim of Google Books and its eBooks platform was in fact not to create a library but a bookstore, and secondly that it was interested in accumulating a vast body of text that it could mine for the development of search techniques.
Vaidhyanathan admires the innovations promised by the latter aim, but what he is not so sure about is the increased hold it gives Google over how its users view the world.
The most recent development in lawsuits initiated by publishers and authors against Google's books digitization plan was a decision this month (March 2011) by a court in New York, applauded by the U.S. Department of Justice, that the settlement Google offered to publishers and authors "would," in the words of Judge Denny Chin, "give Google a significant advantage over competitors, rewarding it for engaging in wholesale copying of copyrighted works without permission." It would also gain Google the profits from "orphan works" whose copyright holders cannot be located. For now, anyway, the googlization of our access to books has been hampered. But although this issue is what got Vaidhyanathan started, it is not his only concern.
Note first that Vaidhyanathan has not written a diatribe against Google itself, a company he admires for many reasons despite also having questions about it. Instead the book is about "googlization," that is, the development of reliance by Internet users on major search service providers — Google being the most major — who, because of their control of the process, have an influence over information that could be distorting or even, potentially and if it fell into the wrong hands, malign.
Vaidhyanathan's anxieties are being exacerbated by the increasing pressure Google is itself feeling from competitors in certain sectors, principally Facebook and Apple, with consumer attention switching to mobile devices that are locked-down to their providers. This is very different from the radically open Web model that Google took its start from. Every minute you spend on iPhone away from the Web means that Google can't harvest the information you are giving away about yourself on it. Facebook competes directly with Google for advertising and is making huge strides. Of course, Google is changing in response: going mobile, and at the same time, in reaction to Facebook, seeking to be more current and relevant by privileging recent information over older information — and thus again distorting the value of the information it ranks.
Note the concern here: that because information runs through the decision algorithms of the Google system we cannot regard its handling of information as ideal or even merely neutral, but only as a product of the algorithm's workings. And because it is profiling our identities and interests, our prejudices and desires, it is tailoring information to us, just as it is auctioning space to advertisers with something specific to sell us because of our profiles.
One big thing someone could say on Google's behalf is that it stepped into a void and provided an invaluable service to the world. There was no really effective way of finding information on the Internet until Google created it, remedying a market failure and reaping the just reward for doing so. Should we not clap our hands instead of wringing them?
Vaidhyanathan's reply is that Google is filling too much of a gap, a gap that state institutions should fill. It would, he says — and surely rightly — be a fabulous investment for the world and its future if governments got together and financed the building of a global digital library open to all. Only imagine if there were a truly public, independent and neutral search engine for all information, ranking it purely on reliability and usefulness. That would be a resource for mankind worthy of the name.
Google has used its "sterling reputation" to argue that it can provide this and associated services faster, cheaper and better than public bodies can.
Vaidhyanathan disagrees, arguing that Google's preeminence in the market has undermined what should be genuinely public responsibilities to provide public goods. This is not, Vaidhyanathan is careful to insist, to say that Google is evil — far from it; but it is also not the white knight of popular imagination either. It is a business, seeking a profit, driven by the profit motive; it is not a public service institution. The perception of it as an altruistic and benevolent organization was created by its users, not itself. The motto "Don't be evil" has never been part of its public face, Vaidhyanathan says; it was we the users who wished it to succeed because we applauded those aspects of it that were genuinely applaudable — the commitment to openness, fraternity, little or no control or censorship, open code, the democratic process of lots of people building amazing facilities for the Web. Google opposed the world domination of Microsoft, which never pretended to be anything but a for-profit institution, opposing open-source and code-making anarchy. Google was the good guy, and it succeeded: David contested Goliath, and became another Goliath by doing so.
Google both spread and benefited from goodwill in this way. The company's founders say that they began with principles and are not going to violate them. But, says Vaidhyanathan, the sheer scope of Google and its proliferation into many new areas has produced frictions and contradictions. He gives the example of the run on United Airlines stock that resulted from a trifling error, the absence of metadata on a Web page giving the date of a report. Someone saw on Google an old report that UA was seeking bankruptcy protection, and thought it was new information. An alert flashed out, holders of UA stock began selling it as quickly as possible, and the share price tanked. So did that of other airlines, because (typically for the stock markets) panic selling spread like an infection before the mistake was detected. When Bloomberg issued a correction the stock prices rallied, but not before a lot of money was lost. Trust in Google, Vaidhyanathan says, prevented people from checking the facts before the damage was done — and the example is illustrative of the potential for damage.
One of the most interesting points Vaidhyanathan makes concerns the levels of responsibility that Google bears for the content it offers us, from lowest to highest across three types of function: scanning and linking, hosting and serving, and scanning and serving. To understand this, remember that there is content that not everyone wishes to have accessed, such as pornography, copyright infringements and privacy invasions. If Google keeps such content available beyond a certain tolerance limit, it opens itself to backlash or even prosecution.
Its lowest level of responsibility relates to content that other people create, which it simply copies and posts for its own index. It neither solicits nor prohibits it, neither buys nor profits from it. It makes no editorial input, it just indexes it and makes it available. Google is not responsible for what other people put on the Net.
The next level of Google's responsibility is for what it "hosts and serves." Here Google makes other people's content available on its facilities, obviously enough benefiting from the profiles it harvests and the advertising space it can accordingly sell on its facilities.
In "scanning and serving" Google has the greatest responsibility. It digitizes things that were not hitherto digitized, and makes them available. Examples are Google Maps, Google Street View and Google Books. Google here makes the decision about what is worthwhile to scan and serve. People can complain — for example, about what appears on Google's street view service — but it can take weeks for content to be removed, and by then it will probably have been copied and disseminated many times over. As Vaidhyanathan puts it, this involves a bad assumption on Google's part to the effect that everything is up for grabs and can only be challenged and removed post facto. This wrongly sets the default at the lowest possible standard.
This naturally leads Vaidhyanathan to ask whether there should be regulation. On this he is agnostic, pointing out that there is already some degree of regulation in the form of copyright laws, but that matters would be improved if we did not have to trust that a company like Google will not abuse its position, but will allow users to search in a fair and uncorrupted way. Now, Google does not (though many think it does otherwise) take money to put links high in Web searches. Search providers might one day not be so ethical. But in making editorial decisions about what is worthwhile, and in now claiming to prefer "high quality sites" over "low quality sites" (are they always able to tell which is which?) they are taking sole responsibility for value decisions of considerable moment.
A problem here is that Google's search algorithms are a commercial secret, so the chance of a transparent audit of how they make those decisions is slim. What standards does Google use? If it only follows my previously manifested desires, it is not going to give me the information that would most be of use to me.
I am with Vaidhyanathan in wishing to see a Human Knowledge Project set up, a 50-year goal to create a global digital library and information resource that every child anywhere in the world can tap into. The technology exists, but not the political will, says Vaidhyanathan, even though the advantage of a nonprofit humanitarian resource has so much going for it that it is surprising that such a project is not already well under way.
Perhaps the lack of political will has something to do with how many governments do not want their people to know too much or be able to find out too much. Here is a chicken and egg situation: Do we have to wait for the world to be civilized enough for a Human Knowledge Project to become feasible, or would it only become civilized enough if such a project existed? I suspect the latter: and therefore think that all those who are interested should put their shoulders to the wheel and create it. That would be a true search for knowledge, and the most liberating thing we could ever do.
