Wyoming defeats Cal State Bakersfield 63-49

— Wyoming's offense hasn't exactly been on fire this season, but the defense has been strong enough to keep the Cowboys unbeaten. Wyoming held Cal State Bakersfield to less than 28 percent shooting, blocked eight shots and forced 18 turnovers en route to a 63-49 victory Saturday.

Leonard Washington scored 13 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had four blocks to lead Wyoming (6-0), while Luke Martinez and Riley Grabau added 11 points each.

So does it feel good to be 6-0?

"I don't think it means anything, to be honest," Washington said. "We're just trying to take it day by day, practice by practice, and when it comes game day, just try to focus in on the scouting report and things that we need to do in order to win on that night."

Brandon Barnes scored 13, and Erik Kinney 10 to lead Cal State Bakersfield (1-5).

Stephon Carter, the sixth-leading scorer in Cal State Bakersfield history with 1,218 points, fouled out with 6:52 remaining and finished with just four points.

Nathan Sobey's 20-foot jumper with 9:11 remaining put Wyoming up 43-28, and the Roadrunners drew no closer than 13 the rest of the way. The Cowboys' largest lead was 57-35 after two free throws by Martinez at the 4:41 mark.

In the second half, Cal State Bakersfield hit only 5 of 20 shots and finished at 27.5 percent.

"When I see our team stay the course, and we're steady from the very start to the very end defensively, I feel like we can manufacture enough down at the other end," Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt said.

He said the key was getting quality minutes from several reserves "and I never felt one time that when those guys were in that we lost any passion or any energy on defense."

One of those subs, Derek Cooke Jr., only in his second year of organized basketball, contributed nine points and six rebounds, along with two blocks.

"I can see the game more now," Cooke said. "When I first started, I can remember just being lost on the floor. And now the more reps I get on the court, I know where I've gotta be in certain areas, know when certain things are coming and just getting a feel for the game."

Wyoming never trailed, jumping out to an 18-6 lead after hitting four 3s in the first 5 minutes, including two from Martinez. The Cowboys shot 46 percent in a very physical contest, with tempers flaring and players having to be separated at times. Three technical fouls were called, two on the Roadrunners.

"I thought they were better prepared to fight that kind of fight," Bakersfield coach Rod Barnes said. "That's the nature of our team. We're a physical team. We like to make contact with people. We don't mind about taking bumps and bruises. Tonight I think they surprised us because usually we're the ones that are the aggressors and tonight they were the aggressors."

Chargers rookie promoted to roster

Chargers rookie cornerback Greg Gatson hopes to be signed from the practice squad prior to Sunday's game against the Titans.
Chargers rookie cornerback Greg Gatson hopes to be signed from the practice squad prior to Sunday's game against the Titans. — Charlie Neuman / UT San Diego

The Chargers ended Friday's practice with three cornerbacks on their active roster.

Hours later, they signed a fourth.

Greg Gatson, an undrafted free agent from Arkansas, joined the 53-man roster. The corresponding roster move is expected to be announced Saturday.

Gatson saw some first-team reps this week as veteran cornerback Quentin Jammer worked his way back from Tuesday surgery to repair a broken hand.

Jammer will start Sunday while wearing a cast. He suffered the injury early in Monday's game against the Raiders, defensive coordinator John Pagano said, and was able to play through it.

Shareece Wright, however, is out with a sprained right ankle.

His absence leaves the team light in depth at the position. Antoine Cason is expected to start opposite Jammer, and Marcus Gilchrist will serve as the nickel corner.

Gatson was unaware the move was coming.

"I'm just waiting on them to let me know if I'm going to be moved up or not," Gatson said. "I guess it's how I perform this week, so I'm just going out there every day, trying to compete hard and let them know I'm ready to play and ready to move up, ready for the challenge to help my team out in any way possible.

"Hopefully I can gain the confidence from the coaches and the players to let them know that I can get on the field and get the job done."

Wright was set to start the season as the Chargers' top nickel corner.

Before he could play a defensive snap, his ankle got caught up in the Coliseum grass while he made a tackle Monday on the season-opening kickoff.

The ankle turned the "wrong way," the defensive back said.

"I don't know if it was the field or what, but whatever it was, it got the job done," Wright said. "There's nothing I can do. It's a bummer."

This week, he received a second medical opinion. It confirmed the injury is not a high ankle sprain, which generally comes with a longer timetable.

Wright is a 2011 third-round pick from USC. He had a strong preseason, totaling eight tackles, a sack, forced fumble and an interception returned 73 yards. He missed the final two exhibition games with a minor hamstring injury but entered the year healthy.

He called the diagnosis "good news."

"But still, it's an ankle as a DB," Wright said. "I need my ankles to be strong, coming out of my breaks and stuff like that. It could have been a lot worse. That's the way I look at it. It's a long season. Hopefully I'll get back sooner rather than later."

Coach Norv Turner has not released a timetable for Wright. He's said Wright will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.

Before the signing, Gatson expressed confidence he can step in at corner, be it in the outside or the slot.

It was clear, as the lone cornerback on the practice squad with just three able options on the 53-man roster, the possibility existed.

"I've never played nickel before, but I can play it," said Gatson, who joined the team in April. "Whatever they need me to do, I can do it. Whatever they need me to do to help the team win, I'm willing to do it.

"I'm waiting for my opportunity. I'm just hoping and praying for the best."

Teen boy's body found buried in Fresno backyard

— Authorities are trying to determine if a body uncovered in a Fresno backyard is that of a teenage boy who disappeared four years ago.

The body was found buried behind a home after police served a search warrant Tuesday, Lt. Mark Salazar said. The body was uncovered about 4 p.m. several feet underground, he said.

Investigators received a tip last week that the body might be buried in the yard, Salazar said. Police did not identify the missing boy and have not said whether it might be that of the teen reported missing in 2009.

But Randy Essman told the Fresno Bee ( http://bit.ly/17oIpTh ) that his nephew, 16-year-old Steven Humphrey, was last seen on Jan. 26, 2009, and lived in the neighborhood when he vanished. Essman said relatives believe the body uncovered Tuesday afternoon is Steven's.

Steven was featured on Comcast's Missing Kids On Demand through March 2012 and was identified as an endangered runaway. He was described as white, with brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet, 1 inch tall and 100 pounds.

Salazar said detectives have several leads, but no one is in custody.

Police said the body will be taken to the Coroner's Office for identification.

Padres at D-backs

Today: Padres RHP Tyson Ross (1-4, 3.35 ERA) at D-backs LHP Patrick Corbin (12-1, 2.31 ERA), 1:10 p.m.

On the air: FSSD; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)

— Andrew Cashner liked half his performance Saturday night at Chase Field.

“I think I did a very bad job tonight ... I wasn’t very good,” said Cashner the pitcher after allowing three runs on four hits and five walks over six innings in a game where his offense turned a contest into a cruise.

Speaking of offense, the right-handed pitcher showed he can do more than bunt for base hits as he hit his first homer since high school to put an exclamation point on the Padres’ 12-3 win at Chase Field.

“I’ve been dreaming about that (homer) my whole life,” said Cashner, who is now 7-5 with a 3.88 earned-run average as a pitcher and .300 as a hitter with a homer and three RBIs.

Cashner, however, had plenty of run support before he homered as the Padres continued their assault on left-handed pitching — taking advantage of the wildness of starter Tyler Skaggs for seven runs on just three hits.

The Padres’ first eight runs — off Skaggs and left-handed reliever Tony Sipp — were scored with two out as San Diego built leads of 5-1 and 8-1.

Though the Padres had three homers — Chris Denorfia and Chase Headley delivered the Padres’ fourth set of back-to-back homers in the fourth — the big hit of the night was supplied by first baseman Yonder Alonso.

With the Padres just having taken a 2-1 lead on a bases-loaded walk drawn by Jesus Guzman in the third, Alonso drove a two-strike hanging curve from Skaggs for a double inside the first-base bag — three runs scoring as the drive shot into the right-field corner.

“Because (Skaggs) had just thrown eight straight balls, I had to take the first pitch and he threw a strike,” said Alonso. “With the count 0-and-2, I tried to stay back as long as I could.”

Alonso finished the game with three hits and four RBIs while Denorfia and Carlos Quentin drove in two runs apiece. But the key stat for the Padres was the eight walks they earned.

“I thought we had good at-bats,” said Padres manager Bud Black. “We knew Skaggs would be variable with his control. He wobbled and our guys took advantage.

“We won because we let the other guy falter. Yonder is a good hitter. He hung in there against a left-hander.”

Black agreed with Cashner’s assessment. With the Padres up 8-1 after 3½ innings, Black wanted Cashner to work some quick innings and perhaps pitch into the seventh and eighth and give the bullpen a rest. Instead, Cashner was done after six innings and 103 pitches.

“Cash wasn’t at the top of his game,” said Black. “I don’t want to say that negatively. He could have pitched better. I can’t stress enough that Cashner is in a learning situation. I have high expectations with Cash. Maybe that is a little bit unfair. He’s still building the foundation.”

Quiet appeal of 'Circle' gives one pause

New Village Arts stages compelling production of Annie Baker play

Tom Stephenson, Sophia Richards, Rhianna Basore, Eddie Yaroch and Dana Case (clockwise from bottom left) in New Village Arts Theatre's "Circle MIrror Transformation."
Tom Stephenson, Sophia Richards, Rhianna Basore, Eddie Yaroch and Dana Case (clockwise from bottom left) in New Village Arts Theatre's "Circle MIrror Transformation." — Daren Scott

Just think of the potential fun factor if every trade were learned the way acting is sometimes taught: You could become an accountant by mastering eeny, meeny, miny, moe, or a politician via the hokey-pokey. (Or is that already how it works?)

Annie Baker’s play “Circle Mirror Transformation” takes its name from a goofy-looking drama exercise that has students grunting and huffing and pawing at the air as if someone has smuggled hallucinogens into a football huddle.

And yet while such moments offer comic relief, there’s nothing frivolous about this sneak-up-on-you piece, now receiving a remarkably well-acted and involving local premiere under Annie Hinton’s intuitive direction at New Village Arts.

The “transformation” in the name of the improv game also gets at the changes we see the characters go through over the course of this quietly unfolding show. But then, presenting characters who evolve is the least any play should be expected to do.

Baker’s real art here is the way she manages to subvert our expectations of just how these five people will progress and reveal themselves. And to do so in such a subtle and honest way that it feels as if the signs were there all along.

The entire play takes place in a single room of a community center in a small Vermont town (Brian Redfern’s set captures the place’s drab, utilitarian familiarity.)

In a performance that goes from gently comic to (eventually) wrenching, Dana Case brings a motherly but no-nonsense touch to Marty, the inexperienced (though enthusiastic) teacher of a six-week acting class.

Her husband, James (Tom Stephenson) is one of the students — although we don’t realize it right away because in the slightly disorienting first scene, he is speaking as Marty, as part of another exercise (and a sly hint of the shifts among the characters to come.)

Stephenson, often tapped to play blustery figures, is excellent as this more human-scaled character, seemingly uncomplicated and immediately likable.

A frequently scene-stealing Rhianna Basore plays Theresa, a newcomer to town who throws herself into the course with gusto. While Basore has been impressive in other shows around town, this one’s a breakout; blazing a path of bright, sexy energy, she’s ideal for the part of the passionate urban refugee.

Romantic sparks quickly ignite between Theresa and Schultz (whose first name we never learn), a divorced carpenter played by NVA regular Eddie Yaroch with a wonderfully funny, wistful and wounded touch.

And as the youngest member, Lauren, Sophia Richards makes an auspicious debut on a major local stage. Her character, a sullen and exasperated 16-year-old who just wants to learn enough to land the high-school lead in “West Side Story,” becomes something like the play’s emotional fulcrum, and Richards handles the transformation with real skill.

Week by week, as the five get deeper into the work, those seemingly dippy acting games wind up both exposing secret agonies and forging unexpected connections.

You could contest how likely it is the participants would leave themselves so perilously, even self-destructively unguarded at times. (The play also is a long sit at two intermission-less hours.)

But down to the last long pause and halt in its dialogue — and there are many — “Circle Mirror” feels about as authentic as theater gets.

“Circle Mirror Transformation”

When: 8 p.m. Thursdays-Fridays; 3 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Through March 2.

Where: New Village Arts Theatre, 2787 State St., Carlsbad

No. 22, Darrell Stuckey: Ranking 2013 Bolts

 San Diego Chargers Darrell Stuckey.
San Diego Chargers Darrell Stuckey. — Sean M. Haffey

Counting down the 2013 Chargers' All-22 performers, we begin with a special teams standout who also assisted the defense.

Player: Darrell Stuckey

Age: 26

Positions: special teams gunner and safety

What went right: Stuckey, the special teams captain, stopped return men, downed punts with rare aplomb and helped direct coverage units. He gave new special teams coach Kevin Spencer a consistent gunner around which to build. Despite the roster's depth issues, neither the punt nor the kickoff coverage teams allowed a touchdown (9th in punt, 23rd in kick). Stuckey played all 18 games. His previous high was 14.

New dimension: Stuckey started at safety for Kansas but saw only 11 career snaps there in three NFL seasons. In training camp last July, his work in pass coverage drew some praise from ex-Cowboys talent man Gil Brandt and Chargers Blogger. Over the final five games, Stuckey took part in 161 plays as a safety. He looked comfortable for the most part. His expanded role was part of shuffling within the pass defense, coming after nickel back Johnny Patrick's season-ending injury.

What went wrong: A concussion made him questionable entering Game 12. In the playoff loss, Wes Welker exploited his loose coverage to catch a 3-yard touchdown pass with the score 7-0.

Pass defender: The Chargers, seeking their first playoff victory in five years, led 20-10 midway through the fourth quarter when Bengals receiver A.J. Green ran down the sideline uncovered. Stuckey punished Green's passive reaction to the deep pass by closing fast and knocking the ball away at San Diego's 10. Against Denver in Round 2, Stuckey's tight coverage on Eric Decker led to Donald Butler's interception in the end zone. A TD would've stretch Denver's 14-0 lead entering halftime.

All-22 explainer

2014: Stuckey, a fourth-round draft pick of A.J. Smith's in 2010, is eligible for free agency.

Did you know?: Stuckey runs football clinics in the offseason, using equipment provided by the Chargers. He say it is gratifying to teach children about football. His former Kansas secondary mates included starting NFL cornerbacks Chris Harris (Broncos) and Aqib Talib (Patriots).

Read more: Andrew Gachkar and Seyi Ajirotutu, two other standouts on special teams, say Stuckey sets the standard in kick coverage.

Project 3

FA1 and FA2
Estimation of FA1 and FA2 of two crossing fiber components at different SNR and separation angles (30, 40, 50 and 80 degrees). (a), (b) and (c) represent different combination of ground truth FA1, FA2 and volume fraction. Dashed lines are true FA values. Green arrows indicate the SNR above which the fitting is accurate and stable.

MTTA: Multi-Tensor Tract based Analysis for clinical diffusion MRI

The diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical research indicates the diffusion imaging of b value at 1000-1500s/mm2 and 25 to 60 diffusion orientations with imaging time less than 10 minutes. It is well known that almost half of brain voxels of the human brain contain crossing fibers which make current FA values of single tensor significantly underestimated and cause biased conclusions in clinical applications.

Previous investigations of crossing fibers have been mainly related to correctly revealing the fiber orientations in the voxels of crossing fibers for improvement of tractography. Only recently, several other metrics have been proposed to be an alternate scalar measure at these voxels. In addition, technologies of tract analyses including ours have become important due to great clinical significance of the tracts. However, most of existing metrics for crossing-fiber problem were not designed for tract analysis in that in a single voxel there are no delineation of multi-FA values which are assigned to crossed multi-tracts.

In addition, most of these studies for improving tractography and metrics were performed at the cost of high b, high angular resolution and long scanning time which are not suitable for clinical studies. Due to extensive applications of the FA in neurological and psychiatric studies such as phenotype characterization, drug testing and therapy monitoring, biased conclusions from the underestimated FA in tract analysis could have significantly negative impacts on these studies.

Hence it is critical to develop methods which can correct the underestimated FA in these clinical studies and are designed for tract analysis. With input of diffusion weighted images, MTTA identifies crossing fiber regions first, fully characterizes multiple tensors (a step further than just multiple primary eigenvectors for tractography) at the voxels of crossing fibers and detaches the crossed fibers for tract analysis.

Winning Africa Nations Cup not negotiable, Jonathan tells NFA

on   /   in Sports 1:49 pm   /   Comments

Abuja – President Goodluck Jonathan has charged the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) to win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) according to Chief Patrick Ekeji, Director General, National Sports Commission (NSC).

In an interview  in Abuja on Friday Ekeji said, “I’d like to drop a message from Mr President. It is that the Super Eagles go to South Africa and win the Nations Cup.

“How they want to do it is not known, but they should just go and do it,’’ he said.

The DG urged the NFA and the Super Eagles technical team to see the assignment as a call to national duty.

“Pressure is part of life. Is it achievable? The answer is yes; so why shouldn’t we aim for the highest prize.

“I think they can bring home the trophy if they get their act together. They have to know that we want to get back the interest of Nigerians to particularly our football.

“The Eagles of our time used to have a lot of followership, I don’t know if I can say that much now.

“Nigerians appreciate when you put in your best and when it doesn’t work out, they appreciate that too, but of course, it will gladden our hearts if they win the cup,’’ Ekeji added.

The 2013 AFCON tournament is scheduled to take place in South Africa from Jan. 19 to Feb. 10. (NAN)

Oxnard man's death after report of assault was unrelated to attack

A man taken to a hospital after an assault reported in Oxnard died at a hospital Monday, officials said.

However, an autopsy showed the man was not an assault victim, Oxnard police said Thursday. The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office is awaiting toxicology reports before making an official ruling on the death.

Police responded to a report of an assault about 2 a.m. Sunday in the 400 block of West Hueneme Road, authorities said.

Officers found a man who said he had been punched in the face by a man who had run away, officials said.

Officers then noticed another man at the scene who was unconscious and needed medical attention. It was unclear whether the man, later identified as Miguel Hernandez-Gomez, 26, of Oxnard, had been assaulted.

He was taken to St. John’s Regional Medical Center and then to Ventura County Medical Center, where he was placed in the intensive care unit.

Hernandez-Gomez died about 10:30 p.m. Monday.

Help needed with Haunted Maze

Got gore?

Dozens of volunteers are needed to help build and staff the scary scenes for this year’s Haunted Maze, taking place Friday, Oct. 26, next to the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme Seabreeze Aquatics Center.

The aquatics staff of Morale, Welfare and Recreation needs 10 to 12 volunteers for each scene, and they’re looking to create seven scenes for the maze.

Areas that need to be built — and then staffed the night of the event — include a Frankenstein area, a graveyard, a mining cave, a haunted forest, a werewolf scene, a bayou and a witch scene.

Help is also needed with the carnival.

For information, call Aquatics Manager Gerry Legaspi at 982-4753 or email him at

Interim President Waheed of the Maldives responds to my Open Letter to him

Interim President Waheed of the Maldives resp

Yesterday I had a call from President Waheed of the Maldives. He was good enough to answer a number of questions I put to him.

He says - and I believe him - that the incidents that lead to President Nasheed resigning had nothing to do with him. He watched the situation unfolding on television.

The Speaker of Parliament asked him as Vice President to become President since that is part of The Constitution if the President steps down.

As President he says that his first priority was to bring stability and basic confidence once again to the country. He pointed out that he had been very much part of the struggle towards democracy in the past and was 100% committed to returning the country to a true democracy. He pledged that there would be fresh elections within 18 months.

He said that he had appointed a respected person to examine the truth of what caused President Nasheed to resign. He also said that the police used excessive force on the demonstrators on February 8th and that needed examining. And he also said that demonstrators should not have burnt down buildings and that that also needed looking into.

He says that he didnt know who issued an arrest warrant for President Nasheed after he left office but that it had been rescinded within 48 hours.

He pointed out that in forming a Cabinet that he had not put anybody in the Cabinet from his own party. He is determined to be an honest broker, to be seen to be one, and to get everyones confidence. He said that he offered to bring in people from President Nasheeds party but they refused to join. He also pointed out that President Nasheeds party had been a minority party and had only been in power due to the support of others. It would be for those others, and the electorate to decide who rules in the future. He ended by pledging elections in July of next year (in line with the constitution) once confidence has been restored.

Based on his personal reputation I believe hes sincere in wanting to do whats right for the country and return it to a true and lasting democracy.

Hes also right in examining very carefully the facts that lead to the resignation of President Nasheed. If they prove he was forced out - and if President Nasheed can still show he has the support from the majority of parliament - President Waheed should consider stepping down and letting him back in as President prior to the elections.

Hotel Santa Eduviges: Pretty somber

The most famous hotel in town is the hotel Elvir, but it looked too "businessy" to me, so I went to the hotel Sta. Eduviges, one block away. The heavy front door was locked, but someone hurried to unlock it from the inside, and I had the impression I was interrupting a solemn family council. The common areas were quite grand for a $14 a night hotel.

The room was fine and quiet, with no air conditioning (none needed, truly), but with an elliptical fan. The bathroom was somewhat gross, with that certain "look" that bathrooms get when they are repainted more often than deeply scrubbed down. The shower was feeble.

Hospedaje Calle Real: Cheap hostel

I stayed here 2 nights. It is a very basic place with shared bathrooms. The rooms are ok, but my bed was very very soft and the bathrooms weren't that clean.

But still, it was very cheap, I only paid 35 limpira for a single room, and to that price I think it is ok.

help with direct bus to Tallinn

by cucaron

We are a group of 6 trying to arrive to Tallinn from St Petersburg in August 2009.
Searching the internet I found this information:
1. The overnight train is no longer in service
2. Many reviews from other travelers talk about direct bus service, about 8 hours of travel.
3. The Russian web site of eurolines bus, is only in Russian
4. In the Estonian eurolines page they show 6 buses daily, but when I try to book a ticket they show only two options to reach Tallinn via Riga and around 20hours of travel.

My questions are:
Do the direct buses be available by august?
Should I have to book in advance this trip by internet and where?
Or is easy to find and buy the tickets 1 or 2 days in advance in St Petersburg and where?

Re: help with direct bus to Tallinn

by Sunny_cat
price is 1000 RUB (30$)
bus station adress in S-P: Naberezhnaya Obvodnogo kanala 36

by cucaron

Thanks for your advice, I will go two days before to the bus station to buy the tickets, Is there any ticket counter with someone speaking english?

Re: help with direct bus to Tallinn

by montalais

I took a bus from Petersburg to Tallinn in June 2006. It's an agreeable trip and takes around 4-5 hours. I took a taxi to the bus terminal (avtovoksal) in the afternoon the day before the trip. At such a late time there was only one bus with space: the one at 9AM. I suppose if I came 2 or 3 days in advance the more convenient schedules would have been available. I inquired where the office was and it turned out to be in a different building some 100m away. I don't know if they speak English but probably not. It would be useful to write "Таллинн" and relevant information on a paper. The office might not be open after 4PM. At the time of departure the bus would be standing somewhere outside the terminal. It may be necessary to ask which bus is the correct one.

Tallinn is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It can be seen in one full day if the weather is good. Without luggage it's possible to walk from the bus terminal to the center. With luggage a taxi should be taken.

Travel Tips for Saint Petersburg

Beach in the heart of the city

by Soili

The cobbled stones in the front of the Petropavloskaya krepost (the fort, the ex-prison..) made me feel relaxed. People on the beach at that time were not at all interested in their appearance on the beach. They were just having a day off.
Never before or after have I seen anyone sunbathing whie standing. Yet it makes sense: your entire body will be tanned.
The marines were out at the end of July. Lots of them. Lots of drunk marines. The fireworks, the people...
Sometimes the same thought of people drove you crazy as you couldn't feel alone anywhere. It helped a lot to stay in one of the many beautiful parks in St Petersburg.
DId you know that during the WWII the marble statues in Letnyj Sad were buried under the ground? And that there was a potato field next to the Isaakievskiy Sobor - that's what three old ladies sitting on a bench told me.
They also advised me to marry either a professor, a doctor or a general and my worries would be over for the rest of my life. Note that this was still the Soviet Union times... The man who was swimming and singing at the same time. He had a good voice. It happened on a pond in Vyborgskaya storona; a warm summer evening, people gathered to enjoy the evening, lovers sitting hand in had on the benches...
And the man siniging, to all of us and to himself. I recognised the song as it had been a hit when my mother was a young woman. We all cheered him when the song ended. He didn't sing anything else but it was enough.
A groom sleeping in the front of the hotel. Stone drunk. The bride crying next to him, the mothers comforting her : "ne nado, ne nado plakat.." (No need to cry..) Life...!

by bugulma

It is the first Russian public museum (1718-1734 by Mattarnovi, Herbel, Chiaveri and Zemtsov). The museum is far-famed now with collection of anatomy (including the collection of freak of nature), now it is museum of anthropology and ethnography. The ticket is RUR 100 (EUR 3 around) but it is prohibited to make photo in the famous rooms of freaks. Besides here is an interesting collection of mode of life of different nations of Asia, Africa and Southern America.

Russia Rocks!

by sophiebeans

All over St. Petersburg, you can see billboard signs advertising various concerts and performances to go to. The first day in St. Petersburg, I saw this poster for Dio, which is one of my husband's favorite heavy metal bands. It made me feel at home to see it!

Peter's legacy

by TheWanderingCamel

Although the impressive building that houses St Petersburg's Central Naval Museum and the curious red pillars ( Rostral Columns - they celebrate naval victories) bedecked with ship's prows that flank it feature in many a tourist's photo of the city, judging by the number of people who had actually ventured inside on the day we were there, I'd say the museum's exhibition halls are definitely an Off the Beaten Path activity for most visitors. Which is a pity because it is a fascinating museum with a wonderful collection illustrating Russia's 300 years of naval history. Founded in 1709 by command of Peter the Great, the museum is one of the oldest in Europe.

Starting with the grand building itself - inspired by Classical architecture, it was built in on Vasilyevsky Island in 1805, when this area of the island was still a seaport. The pre-revolutionary city's Stock Exchange, the importance of the sea to the city's wealth was acknowledged by the fine sculpture of Neptune that still adorns the pediment over the main door. Quite fitting therefore that it now houses the country's main naval museum.

As with all good maritime museums, there are superb models of ships of all sorts and sizes. The walls are hung with maps and naval paintings, naval colours and banners hang from the ceilings and wall brackets and everywhere there are displays of maritime artifacts, weapons and naval memorabilia.

The ground floor is devoted to the pre-Revolutionary period. Standout pieces include the boat in which Peter the Great learnt to sail - setting in motion his lifetime's love of the sea, he called it "The Grandfather of the Russian Navy" - and a 19th century submarine.

Figureheads line the staircase to the upper floor where you'll find an equally fascinating array of Soviet-era displays including WWII fighter planes and enough hammer and sickle banners to start a revolution.

Whether you're a ship-lover, a naval-history-buff or simply an interested tourist, this is a museum not to be missed. Personally, if my time in St Petersburg was short, I'd forgo a couple of hours of the time most people devote to the Hermitage to fit in a visit to this excellent museum.

Closed Monday, Tuesday and the last Thursday of the month, opening hours are 1030-1730 (last admission 1645),
Address: Birzhevaya Ploschad 4
Metro: Vasileostrovskaya or Nevsky Prospekt and walk over the bridge)
You can't miss it, directly across the water from the Winter Palace,

Petrodvorets is only an hour...

by K1W1

Petrodvorets is only an hour or so out of town and makes for a very pleasant day trip. The grounds can be reached by either bus or directly across the water by hydrofoil. The Palace, fountains and parks aren't exactly off the beaten path, in fact, they're very popular. Mondays are quieter as the palace is closed, so for those who have had their fill of royal palaces, Monday is the day to go. The golden statues/fountains were all destroyed by the Nazis but have been replaced with exact replicas, and look stunning.

    Close to the airport

    The rooms are clean but fairly basic, with inexpensive furniture. The bed was very comfortable though, with down pillows and a comforter. The people at the desk are pleasant and helpful. There is no on-site restaurant, but they have menus for places that will deliver.

    Breakfast (included in the rates) is available from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. It includes omelets and sausage as well as the usual fruit, muffins, etc.

    They run a 24-hour airport shuttle (on the hour from the hotel.) You have to pick it up at the Federal Circle airtrain stop, but it takes you to your terminal when you return to the airport.

    I would recommend this hotel for its convenience. I have stayed in it several times when I've had an overnight en route, and I'll stay there again as needed. I paid $86 + tax.

    Unique Quality: It only takes minutes to get back to the airport, which I appreciate, and the reception staff printed my boarding pass on their computer to speed up check-in.

Great experience

by TripAdvisor Member ccosmos

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express JFK for on a Saturday night last weekend and had a wonderful experience. The hotel shuttle to and from the airport is complimentary and very convenient. The shuttle arrived about 10 minutes after I called them from the airport train terminal. They provided complimentary water and snacks in the shuttle as well as in the room.

The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and allowed me to check in early because my flight arrived in the morning. He even told me to help myself to the complimentary breakfast that morning even though I really should have had it only the next morning, after my night’s stay. In terms of amenities of course I didn’t expect anything luxurious, but I was happy the room was clean and comfortable.

The only complaint I have is that even though I had placed the “Do not disturb” sign on my door knob, the housekeeper still knocked at my door the next morning and asked me what time I was leaving! Well it was about 11:45am already but hey, checkout time is supposed to be noon. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to stay there again next time.

A good bet for a stopover

by TripAdvisor Member libdem

We stayed here for one night before we flew back to the UK.

The place was very clean and the staff were really helpful. We found that the rooms were pretty much what you would expect from an airport hotel...not huge but comfortable enough. The main thing was that it felt safe, which is important when you are staying in this part on New York. We felt quite happy about leaving the car parked there overnight.

The only real criticism I would have is that after a long drive from Boston all we wanted was a cold drink. Although there were plenty of vending machines in the hotel none of them were working and there isn't really anywhere nearby that you would want to walk to at night.

On the whole though, if you are looking for a stopover before or after a flight, it is well worth choosing this hotel.

Mixed feelings

by TripAdvisor Member poodleone

We wanted a decent hotel near JFK (turn in rental car, early orning flight) so read the reviews on this site and took our chance. It was OK for location (the van drivers are total maniacs) and so-so for breakfast and cleanliness. The bathroom towels had some very weird smell- almost like vomit and the shower curtain needs cleaning- smelled sour. The rest of the room was OK. Not too noisy despite facing the highway. Had to walk three blocks to the gas station to buy a Sunday paper. The desk staff varied from disinterested to borderline hostile. The business center is a joke- $3 for 20 minutes of Internet access! Wouldn't stay again but it served the purpose this time.

Great hotel, terrible location

by A TripAdvisor Member

The hotel is great for a layover, being conviniently located near JFK and connected by a free shuttle. Excellent rooms, large, clean linen, super ACs, great bathrooms with excellent shower pressure and coffee machines in the bathroom (??). You must stay here if you land up late in JFK. In the city you will not find this luxury at this price (sub $160). I went out for a walk, but it is not for the faint hearted, specially at night!! Avoid being adventurous.

Understand the shuttle

by TripAdvisor Member DougYWG

I arrived at T4 at JFK, collected my baggage and headed outside following the signs for ground transport. I passed a cab despatcher and asked him where the hotel shuttles stopped. Right here he said. So I waited a few minutes and began to think it was odd that not one hotel shuttle had gone by. I found a phone and called the Holiday Inn. We pick up at station C she said. What's that? I said. Don't know, but we pick up at station C.

The cab despatcher had never heard of it so I headed back inside the terminal, dragging the baggage. Aha! They must mean the Airtrain. My first time on the train, right enough, I got off at Station C and within two minutes the shuttle came around.

Next day, the shuttle will take you to any terminal you want, none of the station C nonsense. Other than that, previous comments apply. Front desk was efficient and friendly.

Excellent for 1 night stopover

by A TripAdvisor Member

5th overnight stopover hotel I've stayed at for JFK and this is by a mile the best. Good value, very friendly staff, clean/tidy rooms and excellent breakfast. Just book this hotel if your staying at JFK and forget the others.

The shuttle could be better and bear in mind that you'll need to get the Airtrain to station C to get the shuttle to the hotel (the freephone is there). Not the hotel's fault, just a change of the policy of JFK. All on-terminal hotels are equally affected.

by TripAdvisor Member ScottUK

I agree that this hotel is clean, efficient and the shuttle is reliable (as long as you are aware to pick it up at Station C at JFK).

What i cannot believe is that no-one has commented on the rooms at the front of the hotel facing a highway. Unless you are a heavy sleeper the noise of the traffic was constant and disturbed me all night. The rooms at the back may be quieter but when i asked to be moved I was told that the hotel was fully booked. I would only stay here again if I was guaranteed a room that is not at the front - or the hotel upgraded its windows with secondary glazing - as thats all it would need to block out the noise.

hotel fine, allow time to & from JFK

by TripAdvisor Member travelamalia

Stayed last night prior to flight later this morning. I had read all the reviews and agree that the shuttle is the challenging element but if you are patient and allow time, it works out. Getting to hotel from JFK, follow the signs inside the terminal for the Airtrain and make sure to ask which side to board to avoid looping around the airport. You get off at C then phone for the shuttle, which is shared with Comfort Inn, Best Western and Days Inn I think. Some places have their own shuttles and that can make a difference in choices.

The hotel was clean, staff friendly, nice touches like bottled water and cookie pack in room, etc. Stay in the back as front rooms face a noisy highway (thanks to those who mentuioned that before).

For the price, it is definitely a reasonable choice. I'd stay there again given that the others hotels don't seem that wonderful given thier reviews.

Step-Saver Sized

by TripAdvisor Member HouseFairy

For the money, this is an excellent value. If the room were even a little larger, I would have given this property a 4* rating. It offers a free - if loosely scheduled - shuttle to JFK. The shuttle is shared by Days Inn, Comfort Inn, and another Holiday Inn; and you have to wait for it outdoors at JFK (Federal Circle station on the AirTrain).
The expanded continental breakfast includes toaster waffles, muffins, warm cinnamon rolls, yogurt, bananas, hard boiled eggs ...
The bathroom is not one inch larger than it could possibly be, but with the curved shower curtain bar and the NICE shower heads, the shower doesn't feel cramped.
There is HDTV in the breakfast room, and the friendly staff allowed us to watch football there while we ate Italian food delivered from a nearby pasta restaurant. The restaurant, by the way, gets 5 stars - outstanding.

    The view across the lake

    We usually go here if we have something to celebrate or when i had to leave. It is quite a bit out of our normal pricerange with dishes between $4 and $14 (unlike our normal $1 or less). But the location is absolutely magnificent. It is in Kandawgyi park and you take the entrance that leads to Karaweik restaurant. You have to pay 200 ks entrance fee (the restaurant will reimburse you this). After entering the park you'll see a japanese restaurant on your right side. It is an outdoor restaurant and the tables are distributed over a nice little area. If you come during sunset (or later) you'll have a perfect view of Shwedagon Pagoda across the lake. The restaurant serves japanese & singaporean dishes. All quite tasty.

    Gourmet burgers on the beach: El Jefe Hamburger Shack

    by dlandt Written Mar 30, 2010

    Just off of PR-3 facing Luquillo beach is a row of kiosks with all sorts of food. At number 12 is El Jefe's. This is a laid back little burger shack founded by renegade gourmet chefs. The place sort of stands out because its sign is in good repair. Needless to say, two highly educated chefs have given the burger and its trimmings its own spin, though there are things on the menu that are very standard fare. In some cases they use Caribbean style ingredients and sometimes not. Case in point was their chicken wings (Puerto Rican chicken tends to have more flavor than mainland chicken for some reason) where you can get the standard Buffalo sauce or a Caribbean BBQ, which is a variation on jerk seasoning. Service is slow, but this is typical for Puerto Rico and there is a bar to keep you company while you wait.

    Favorite Dish: El jefe is known for its three signature stuffed burgers. Each is stuffed with either Spanish style chorizo, beef short rib meat (the one I had) or a green chili and jalapeno blend. Those three orders are a bit more expensive, but everything else on the menu is quite reasonable and competitive. The food is well cooked and the service is friendly and English-speaking.

    Of all the places I ate on the island, this restaurant is by far the best. The staff is extremely friendly, and it is one of the sit-down restaurants that is more locals than tourists.

    Favorite Dish: Some things not to miss are the house red, and the pizza regina Margherita (made with fresh buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes). And the filetto al pepe verde is absolutely perfect!

Isola Maddalena Transportation

    Isola Maddalena is accessible only by boat or ferry.
    The closest airport is Olbia, Sardinia. ( Olbia is a 50 minute flight from Rome Fumicino Airport. )
    From Olbia Airport, travel north on SS125 near Arzachena take a right on SP123 to Palau. This is about a one hour trip. In Palau take a ferry across to Isola Maddalena. The ferry ride for pedestrians is .50 - 1.20 Euro // for cars 3.50 - 6.00 Euro depending on the size of the car. Ferries run every 15 minutes. The ride is 15 - 20 minutes.

    You can get all of the local varieties of cheese, wine, meat, etc here. All of the vendors are set up in a row in the town hall and you can get great food. Cheese and TORRONE (a local nougat- delicious). very little like 1 euro to more expensive meats like 20 euros.

    We were stranded during the winter in the piazza in terrible weather and happened upon this great little shop towards the far end of the area, near the hotels away from the piazza, past the american cafe. I can't remember the name but it is across the street from some tourist shops a few streets off of the water. I hope you can find it, it's...

Isola Maddalena Local Customs

    Created in 1968 this two block area in downtown San Luis Obispo provides open space, walking trails, seating areas, fountains, historical buildings, and museums. Besides the Mission, other attractions include the Arts Center, Historical Museum, Children’s Museum, and an old adobe.

    We stopped here twice, once at night and once during the day. Our night visit was quiet and peaceful except for a few local hoodlums hanging out down along the creek. Our daytime visit showed us a better view of the historic architecture, and the area was much busier, mostly with people visiting the mission. Also in the daytime there were some kids playing in the creek and a guy with a guitar just strumming away.

Information about Group Practices

What is a Group Practice?

According to The Medical Group Management Association, a group practice is any relationship between three or more physicians who share facilities, expenses, profits and other resources like support staff and equipment.

Group practices tend to fall into two categories: those that organize around a particular medical specialty, like Yakima Ear Nose & Throat Clini. who specializes in otolaryngology (ear, nose, throat), allergy & immunology, and those that encompass several specialties.

Why Group Practice?

As medicine became more complex in the twentieth century, the need for group practices made more sense. Physicians found it impossible to know everything about the emerging drugs and technologies on the medical landscape. In addition, the cost of providing a full range of diagnostic services, such as tests and X-rays, in one location became prohibitive to the individual practitioner. Hence, doctors from various disciplines began to team together in order to provide more comprehensive care to their community of patients.

Benefits of Group Practice:

  • Access to doctors from various disciplines for referrals and advice
  • Better coverage on weekends and off-hours
  • One-stop clinics for comprehensive care and testing
