Family Fun: Touring Key West | Hotels In Key West

Key West is the most southern city in the U.S. and goes out of it?s way to offer family friendly fun, attractions and food. ?Here are a few family fun things to do while touring Key West:

The Key West Marine Park is located on the southwest side of the Key West running from White Street to Duval. The reef is cordoned off with bouys, free of boats and jet skis, making it a safe place to swim and snorkel. It?s a protected habitat for fish and you?ll find coral reefs and tropical fish in abundance. Bring your goggles, snorkel and fins, you?ll want to stay and play for hours here.

Enjoy the Sunset Celebration daily at Mallory Square on Front Street. Open air performers including jugglers, sword swallowing, bagpipers, calypso tumblers, vaudeville acts, balloon artists, tight-rope walkers, musicians and many more who will entice your children into helping their act. You?ll also find food vendors offering tasty treats like hot dogs, lemonade, conch fritters, cotton candy and more. The arts and crafts exhibitors will be there hawking jewelry, blown glass, paintings and so much more. Be here two hours before sunset to enjoy the carnival-like fun.

The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary runs the Eco-Discovery Center at the Truman Annex Waterfront. Children will love interacting with the many touch screen displays to learn about the reef and mangroves indigenous to Key West. Learn about the area?s native plants and animals, in the ocean and on land. Their mission is to bring awareness to the need to conserve the eco-system of South Florida. According to one review on Yelp, ?The Best thing going for kids in Key West?hands down!?

The Conch Tour Train has been entertaining families since 1958. Touring through Key West you?ll get to know local legends like Earnest Hemingway, Harry S. Truman, Jimmy Buffet, and Tennessee Williams to name a few. It?s a great place to kick-off your Key West trip to get as familiar with the island as the local Key Westers or ?Conch?s? as they are called here, and know where all the attractions you don?t want to miss are.

Look for the history at the Key West Aquarium which opened as the first open-air aquarium in 1935 helping locals make it through the depression. A hurricane hit the Keys hard just seven months later ripping out the Overseas Railroad, which at the time was the only way to get to Key West other than by boat. It was re-opened in 1946 a a roof added during the 1960s to prevent algae from forming in the tanks. the best part of this small aquarium is the shark feedings and Sting Ray Bay where you can pet and feed Cow nose rays. In the Touch Tank they?ll get to touch hermit crabs, starfish and sea cucumbers.

Salute! On the Beach located on Higgs Beach near the White Street Pier is a great place for kids. They offer, not your typical kid-friendly restaurant with crayons or clowns, but offer instead simple foods that children won?t turn their nose up at. Some of the under 5 foot fare includes the fresh-catch-of-the-day Sandwich and many different types of pasta including lasagna. The reviews on Yelp rave about their Key Lime Pie, saying it?s the best on the island. After the kids enjoy a great meal let them burn off the calories by running barefoot around the beach while you continue to relax and enjoy one of their infamous Mojitos.

The laid back Caribbean lifestyle mixed with good ole? southern charm of Key West is what makes it the perfect vacation destination for families who want to have fun.

Cisco acquires WiFi data firm ThinkSmart Technologies

DNP Cisco acquires WiFi data analyst firm ThinkSmart Technologies

Networking kingpin Cisco announced on Wednesday that it had acquired ThinkSmart Technologies, a company that analyzes location data by using WiFi technology. ThinkSmart's tech reviews a network's infrastructure by evaluating the movement of its users, traffic patterns and hours of operation. The firm then uses these analytics to help companies optimize network and staffing configurations for business operations -- a long way of saying that it's smart enough to tell a company how to better manage information flows through a network. The terms of this deal have yet to be released, but Cisco seems to think this was a smart pick up.

Getting That Justin Vernon Body With Trainer Jeff Rogers | MTV Hive

Jeff Rogers

Of the top ten words people associate with Bon Iver, ?fitness? is not one of them. Justin Vernon exists as a cuddly-but-melancholic beard creature too preoccupied with creating a fragile world of sounds and feelings to engage in anything so prosaic as exercising his physical husk. And yet, as it turns out, Vernon not only takes a trainer on the road with him, but he participated ? along with his entire band ? in a workout DVD from said trainer titled ROGCITY Fitness With Jeff Rogers: On The Road To A Healthy Mind, Body, And Spirit. This actually makes a certain kind of sense. After all, Bon Iver is a major figurehead of that widely ridiculed class of nice (a.k.a. ?twee?) young bohemians that will engage in sincere activities like expressing emotions, talking about their ?process,? and maybe even working on their quads. Not everyone fits into skinny jeans naturally, okay? Bon Iver was in New York City for their series of shows at Radio City Music Hall, and so too was the band?s fitness guru Jeff Rogers, who was kind enough to hold two installments of his signature workout event ?Pack the Park? in downtown Manhattan?s Hudson Square for free. Curious as to whether working out the Bon Iver way would suck any less than the regular way (and whether it would give me strong crying muscles), I slapped on a sports bra and went.

I arrived to find that the park was indeed packed with friendly, tattoo-free Bon Iver fans eager for a taste of the serenity-based workout, or maybe just a hug from Jeff Rogers. He?s a solid, Chris Traeger-mass of good muscle tone and positivity, with a cute midwestern accent and baby blues a person could drown in. If I wasn?t in a happy relationship, I cannot say that I would have been able to look Rogers directly in the eyes.

We started off gently with some squats and arm raises, and I quickly realized ?boot camp? was a misnomer. I don?t know much about the military, but I?m pretty sure actual boot camp does not involve performing low impact warm-up exercises to the Arcade Fire while a chiseled indie dreamboat affirms repeatedly that you?re ?killin? it.? As we moved on to more challenging activities like jumping jacks and planking (which is not just a meme), Rogers reminded us that we should go at our own pace and drink the provided water if we felt we needed to. He didn?t need to tell me twice. I?m pretty sure this workout was supposed to be chill, but my beer-and-brunch-bloated corpus was huffing and puffing by the fifth jumping jack. ?Who?s all going to that Bon Iver concert tonight???Rogers asked at one point, pronouncing it the American way, and I could find no extra air to tell him that I would instead be taking in Thee Oh Sees and Ty Segall.

Jamie Peck

That said, it was the first exercise class I?ve ever been to that didn?t make me want to just give up and go straight to Chipotle. Whether due to its beginner-friendly nature or Rogers? encouraging smile, I made it all the way to the end, and was able to perform everything but the complicated mountain climbers we were supposed to do in between jogging in place. Maybe next time. After the class, I asked Rogers if exercise made Justin Vernon any happier, because he seems like he?s sad a lot. ?I think it?s definitely helped him and made him happier and healthier as a whole,? he said. I asked if he?s noticed that most hipster guys treat their bodies like garbage cans. ?That?s how the whole country has become,? he said. But, to get a little personal, how do the ladies on the indie scene react to those strange bumps on his arms called ?muscles?? ?I?m usually covered, I like to wear hoodies,? he said bashfully. ?I don?t know, I think it helps to have a good physical frame so people can see that ? I?m not, like, super big and bulky, but I like to be healthy and mobile, and for me it?s all moderation.? No need to hide your light under a bushel, Jeff Rogers!

I stuck out my hand to shake goodbye, and received both a hug and a high five in return. It?s too bad that his class normally takes place in Wisconsin, as going there multiple times a week might help me meet my fitness goals of 1.) not getting super fat, and 2.) not being totally decrepit. ?You killed it today, you should do it every day,? he said, handing me a copy of his DVD. I promised to try. Back in Brooklyn, I got off the L train with a pile of steamed vegetables on the brain, only to really notice Bon Iver?s Bushmills ad in the subway for the first time. It?s hard to see under all that flannel, but I?m pretty sure all Bon Iver tickets now come with complimentary admission to the gun show.

Robert Morgenthau: The Death of Peter Wielunski

During the Civil War, they called it "soldier's heart." In World War I, doctors called it "shell shock." In World War II, the war I served in, we called it "battle fatigue." Now we know it as post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. The name may have changed, but one thing is clear: It is reaching epidemic proportions among our soldiers and veterans.
According to a Veterans Administration report released this March, current or former military personnel represent an estimated 20% of all known suicides in the United States?that's more than 7,000 veterans and service members each year. For every soldier killed in combat, 25 veterans are dying by suicide.

Peter Wielunski was one of those veterans. His story is tragically typical of what is happening at VA facilities across the country. In May, the 63-year-old Vietnam veteran hanged himself with a cord from a window shade in front of the doors of the psychology department of the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System's St. Albans Community Living Center in Queens, N.Y.
According to VA documents I obtained from the Wielunski family, on his admission to St. Albans a year earlier, the psychiatric inpatient consultation noted that he had PTSD and a history of suicidal thoughts in relation to his deployment in Vietnam. The referral notes from his prior treatment at the Manhattan VA Hospital reported him "as being at chronic elevated risk."

On Nov. 22, 2011, Wielunski told another patient at St. Albans that he wanted to kill himself. The comment was reported to the staff. He was placed on watch and received a psychiatric evaluation. The next day, the watch was lifted. The evaluation concluded that he was "considered minimal risk."
Less than two months later, Wielunski screamed at several St. Albans staff that he was going to kill himself. Again he was put on watch, and again within days the watch was released when psychiatric assessments concluded that he was at "minimal risk."
On May 20, Peter Wielunski went missing from his ward. He was found just before midnight with a curtain cord wrapped around his neck, his body cold to the touch.
Incredibly, medical reports show that during Wielunski's year at St. Albans he received no continuing course of psychiatric treatment for his PTSD and suicidal tendencies. The VA has issued no public statements concerning his death or any investigation into the treatment he received. Nor has the VA announced any changes in procedure to prevent a similar tragedy at its other hospitals and clinics across the country. The public should be asking, how many more Peter Wielunskis are out there?
His death raises questions of whether the VA has the resources and know-how to deal with veterans who have suicidal tendencies. The VA's own Performance and Accountability assessment reported that in the first seven months of 2011 alone, there were more than 5,500 rescues of actively suicidal veterans through the VA's Veterans Crisis Line. Yet the number of suicides keeps climbing.
Veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts are particularly at risk. A report commissioned by the Department of Defense and released earlier this year by the Institute of Medicine called PTSD "one of the signature injuries of the U.S. engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan." The report estimated that 13% to 20% of veterans of Iraq or Afghanistan have, or may develop, PTSD. That's 338,000 to 520,000 men and women. And the report cautions that these figures actually may be an underestimation.
The VA has taken admirable steps to care for veterans suffering from PTSD. It has increased its mental-health budget 39% since 2009?to $6.2 billion from $4.5 billion?and has increased its mental-health staff 41% since 2007. But it is still unable to provide timely care to every veteran seeking treatment or to reach out to many of those who are most at risk.
According to the Institute of Medicine report: "Of the U.S. service members and veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and have screened positive for PTSD, only slightly more than half of those have received treatment."
And many veterans have to wait far too long to receive the care they need. In May of last year, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit determined that delay in providing PTSD treatment to veterans violated their rights to receive care for harm and injuries they sustained in the service of our country.
Just this April, the Office of Inspector General released a report showing that the VA was not meeting its own policies for providing patients timely access to mental-health services. Fewer than half of the veterans applying to the VA for mental-health services received a full mental-health evaluation within the 14-day window mandated by VA policy. The rest had to wait on average 50 days. As the Ninth Circuit panel observed, delays in treatment "may make the difference between life and death."
The VA has announced that it will hire an additional 1,600 mental-health clinicians. This is a welcome initiative, but the VA is having trouble filling even existing psychiatric positions. The Inspector General's review noted that VA staff report that their "greatest challenge has been to hire and retain psychiatrists."
Public-private partnerships with hospitals and universities should be expanded to meet this challenge. If the government dedicated even a small portion?perhaps 5%?of its nearly $6 billion budget for veterans' mental-health care to the formation of such partnerships, it could make hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of care available to veterans who might otherwise not seek or receive it.
By tapping the resources of private-sector hospitals and universities, the VA would leverage its investment by making use of private infrastructure and trained mental-health clinicians already in place. Importantly, this would also open up treatment avenues to veterans?many of whom work as police officers, firefighters and other first responders?who fear the stigma of seeking treatment in a government facility. With the VA's own reports indicating that fewer than one in three veterans dying by suicide had made contact with the VA in the prior year, it is critical that such concerns not prevent veterans from seeking treatment.
Continuing to allow large numbers of veterans with PTSD to go untreated is not an option. The effects are socially and economically disastrous. Moreover, we have a clear moral duty to our fighting men and women to ensure that they get care for the injuries they sustained while serving our nation. Peter Wielunski's death should not be in vain.
Mr. Morgenthau, Manhattan district attorney from 1975 to 2009, is of counsel with the law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.

'Twitter terrorists' freed in Mexico, charges dropped

?Tuiteros1

Two people jailed in Mexico's Veracruz state and charged with terrorism because of a series of alarmist tweets were freed Wednesday. Authorities dropped the charges, and the pair walked out of prison to cheering supporters.

"Thank God that freedom of expression won," Maria de Jesus Bravo, a local journalist and radio commentator, said to the crowd (link in Spanish). She and Gilberto Martinez Vera, a math teacher, spent nearly four weeks in jail after they sent out Twitter messages?about a?supposed attack on a primary school by drug gangs.?

Authorities contended their messages sowed panic among frantic parents. The pair was arrested and charged with terrorism and sabotage, crimes that carried a penalty of up to 30 years in jail.

The case outraged human rights and free-speech advocates and?cast a spotlight on Mexicans' increasing reliance on social media networks for information about violence in their hometowns?-- and its potential for abuse. With traditional journalists and other sources of information often silenced by intimidation or bribes, microblogging sites sometimes fill the void. But they also often spread false rumor.

The lawyer for Martinez and Bravo, Fidel Ordonez, confirmed the decision of state authorities to drop all charges.

"We hope that this case serves as a watershed in opening the debate, in political, social and academic circles, over the reach of the right to free expression in current times, and with the technological tools that modernity offers," the lawyer said in a statement provided to La Plaza.

The case became?something of an embarrassment for Veracruz Gov. Javier Duarte. On Tuesday, he?pushed through a new law?that would allow prosecution of rumormongers on the lesser charge of disturbing the peace. This seemed to open the door to releasing Bravo and Martinez.

Early Wednesday, Duarte, dealing with a new crisis of 35?slain men and women dumped in Veracruz city, announced?that the charges against the two tweeters?would be dropped. Although there was the chance that they might face prosecution under the new law, Veracruz Interior Secretary Gerardo Buganza said that would not be the case.

STUDY: Human-Influenced Warming Affecting Weather

By John Ostapkovich

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Fall begins today, sounding the final note on a summer that had us by the throat for a while.

This wasn?t the hottest summer of all despite daily records in many spots and in large stretches of the country the heat and drought played off one another.

National Geographic?s September cover story looks at What?s Up with the Weather and concludes human-influenced warming is part of it.

Bob Deans of the Natural Resources Defense Council is also in that camp.

?We?re looking at the correlation between carbon pollution in our atmosphere, and those temperature increase. We?re seeing that carbon pollution increases unless we take steps to abate that,? says Deans.

His leading suggestions are renewable energy and more efficient cars and appliances.

Accuweather says extremes that eased in August will not reappear in fall although they see a lot of snow here in mid-to-late winter.
