Before revision:  In this work we improve the latter result by devising a simple deterministic algorithm for a +(6+\varepsilon)W spanner for weighted graphs with size O(n^{4/3}) (for any constant \varepsilon>0), thus nearly matching the classical +6 spanner of size O(n^{4/3}) for unweighted graphs.  ]  We also show a simple randomized algorithm for a +4W emulator of size O(n^{4/3})  \cdot W) spanner, and we also obtain a tradeoff between size and stretch.
