We stayed at Edith's Place in Budapest during our June 2013 travels. The apartment is amazing and spacious, with all amenities promised. Our host Laszlo is very knowledgable and helped us with our stay with recommendations and information. He would come over in the mornings to make breakfast and chat with us about our plans, giving tips on the bus schedules and how to get around (very much needed, as we are not skilled navigators). I highly recommend taking him up on his offer to be a tour guide, as it was one of the more informative and delightful trips we went on while in Budapest. We started out at the history museum in Buda castle for an overview of Hungarian history and then he took us around to the main sights in Budapest. We were a group of two adults and a teenager and had more than enough room. Our teenager got a room and a bathroom (with his own couch and tv area) to himself, and there was a second bathroom and bedroom, plus space in the living area for a third bed. Laszlo was waiting for us at the train station when we got in and took us right up to the apartment. The apartment waswell stocked with the little things when we showed up - shampoo and conditioner, some food in the fridge, some alcohol on the shelf. :) Little surprise extras that added to the warmth and welcome of our stay. Overall, our stay here was definitely one of the best of our trip so far, and when we come back, we'll definitely be booking a repeat visit! The apartment is very close to bus, train and tram pick up points. There is a little grocery store right around the corner with most items you may need. Shopping malls within walking or a couple stops on a tram away. Easy access to the Pest side of the city while enjoying the quieter aspects of the Buda side. We certainly feel very fortunate for having met our host and picking this apartment for our stay. collapseDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Edith and Laszlo.....I often remember my wonderful stay in Budapest. I wish to thank you again for your hospitality! I hope to see you again. Back here in the States, I've told many people how much I enjoyed Budapest. What a wonderful city! I met a Canadian professor working here at our university. She used to travel around the world providing technical support for concerts. Her favorite cities are Paris, New York and Budapest. I'm not surprised. Again, thank you for wonderful stay.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 teens stayed here for 5 nights. Everything about our time in Budapest was amazing! To start with, Laszlo met us at the train station and taught us how to navigate the public transportation system back to the appt. We hired him for a city tour on our first day there and that was the best decision ever! He took us to many of the major attractions, all the while teaching us how to get around. By the end of that day, we were in love with Budapest! We spent the next several days on foot and using all means of public transportation exploring this amazing city. Of course, Laszlo played a large role in making our time so memorable: what a friendly, knowledgable, and interesting man! (And none of us had ever met an Olympian before!) His morning breakfasts were healthy, tasty and filling for the long days of sight-seeing. We enjoyed staying in a residential neighborhood with the market and bakeries nearby. The pictures and descriptions are accurate and the appt was clean and spacious. Appreciated having the small kitchen and washing machine. The AC was a godsend (and plenty cool), as it was a blistering hot week during our stay. Some of our favorite activities in Budapest: Szechni baths, Labyrinth, Central Market, Fisherman's Bastian, Hungarian Folk Dancing Show, Heroes Square, Gellert Hills.....When we return to Budapest, which I hope is sooner than later, we definitely want to stay here again! Laszlo: thank you so much for your warm hospitality and wealth of information. Our tour of Budapest would have been lacking without it.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

We spent a week at this apartment in Budapest with our three young children. It was just what we needed: Three bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us space to spread out and not be on top of one another. The kitchen, while quite small, was more than functional; we cooked at ate most meals there, from food we got at the convenience store (next door), bakery (also next door), or supermarket (a 5-8 minute walk). Bus and tram service are very close and very frequent, taking very little time to get into town (on the Pest side), to the metro, or anywhere else. Our only complaints were that the wifi was a bit flaky, and the air conditioning could have been a bit stronger, but I believe that Laszlo is working to improve these, and we were in Budapest for an unusually hot period. Bottom line: If you're a family looking to stay in Budapest, then we strongly recommend this apartment as a great base for your travels.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you so much for the honest opinion and complement of your stay - as well as the time spend to write a review - that helps other guests to choose the right place. We appreciate it and hope you and your friends will be back soon. Best regards, Laszlo and Ms.Edith

Our time in Budapest was too short - but we enjoyed very much the dance-performance with the great dinner on the Danube - it was the highlight of our trip to see the lit beautiful city. We must return for a longer stay in your comfortable B&B on the Buda hills. Thank you Laszlo, Linda and JonathanDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We stayed in Budapest for several days in Sept. The accommodations were great and the location was excellent. Llazso greeted us at the airport and gave us a tour of the city the next day. He was very helpful in learning how to use the local transportation system, location of money exchange and even booked a lovely evening cruise for us. My only complaint was that we did not stay longer in this enchanting city. Staying in the Buda side allowed us a flavor of being a local but yet good access to the tourist areas. Will definitely return with more friends and family to visit. Where will we stay...no question...at this bed and breakfast.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Dear Ms.Brenda, I'm real happy that you enjoyed staying in our B&B on the prestigious Buda side of the Danube. Most travelers think; it is too far from the attractions, not knowing, that Budavar,the Roman ruins, Gellert, Rudas thermal-baths, Margaret island and many more sites are all right there - in minutes you may get to Pest - to see the rest. Thank you for taking time and share your positive experience. Best regards from Laszlo's mother, Ms.Edith

We had a wonderful stay at this bed and breakfast this Summer. Lazlo, our host, could not have been any nicer. With his vast knowledge of Hugarian history, we hired him as a tour guide one day, which was fabulous. We have a large family and the place suited us nicely. It's located on the Buda side, but is within walking distance of many places, and very close to a bus stop. We spent over a month traveling throughout Europe, and I must say this was one of our favorite stops.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Dear Laszlo / Edith B.M., Hello Edith, I just wanted to thank you so much for everything. I and my friend recently stayed in your apartment in Budpest, and wanted to let you know how wonderful it was. Laszlo was such a great host to us. He treated us so nicely, and made the most wonderful breakfasts for us. Now I know why he is famous for making delicious coffee!! :-) I wrote a review, and I hope it did justice to your great apartment. We had a wonderful experience there. I will be coming back to Budapest to have some dental work done, and hope to rent your apartment again, when I return. I will be in touch. Thanks again ~ Jenny C.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children.

This apartment was our favorite that we stayed in during our 2 week vacation through Eastern Europe (Sorry Edith - we enjoyed Vienna as well). The apartment is large, the beds are comfy, the breakfast (prepared by the owner) was delicious. But the best part of the stay was the owner, Laszlo. He made us feel so welcome. His city tour was informative without being touristy, all of his recommendations were fantastic. He knows the city so well and made sure we were comfortable with our surroundings during our stay. The apartment is in a great location, in a residential apartment area so it is quiet, yet close to everything by walking, bus or subway. My 2 teenage boys are already asking when they can go back to Budapest and especially they want to see Laszlo. We will definitely be back and feel as though we have made a friend for life!!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children.

Mayer's `Rigoletto,' set in Vegas, opens at Met
NEW YORK (AP) - For all the bright lights and razzle-dazzle of the Las Vegas locale, the most illuminating stretches in Michael Mayer's showy new production of "Rigoletto" at the Metropolitan Opera occurred when the three commanding singers were left alone at the front of the stage and the splashy scenery receded into the background.
The opening-act fan dancers were distracting and the third-act topless stripper/hooker was gratuitous. Countess Ceprano resembled Marilyn Monroe and the Count of Monterone was an Arab sheik. Gilda was carried off in a sarcophagus when she was kidnapped, then died in the trunk of a Cadillac Coupe Deville.
Clearly this wasn't the "Rigoletto" that played at the Met 841 previous times over 129 years.
Overall, Mayer's transfer of Verdi's first great middle-period opera from 16th-century Mantua to a 1960 hotel and casino on the Strip resulted in straightforward storytelling. The gamble with regietheater was largely successful, an entertaining, bold rendition that some will conclude lacks new insight and others will find frenetic and fun. The notoriously conservative Met audience mostly cheered the Tony-winning director following Monday night's production premiere, with only a few boos scattered in.
In her first performance since giving birth to her second child in October, Diana Damrau gave a searing, loving portrayal of Gilda, a total melding of her silvery soprano with the persona of a vulnerable, confused young girl, unsure how to deal with her overprotective father and sexual awakening amid the bawdy decadence of Sin City.
Zeljko Lucic let loose a fierce and pained baritone as Rigoletto, combining with Damrau for an unforgettable second-act duet filled with emotion, inflection and even tears. Piotr Beczala as the Duke was a breezy, sleazy leader of the Rat Pack, a Frank Sinatra-type lurching from bender to hookup. His arias were winning and convincing, his tenor perhaps underpowered by the slightest tad.
Even before opening night, there was sharp disagreement among aficionados over Mayer's switch from the Renaissance Palazzo Ducale to a casino floor filled with slot machines, gambling tables and faux neon. The photos and videos posted on the Met's Facebook page inflamed factions pro and con that contemptuously regard each other as Luddites and Jacobins.
The locale of "Rigoletto" changed even before its first performance in 1851- Francesco Maria Piave adapted the libretto from an 1832 Victor Hugo play set in France, but objections by censors led to the shift to Italy. In recent decades, Jonathan Miller's controversial 1982 English National Opera production, filled with Mafioso in New York's Little Italy circa 1950, has been followed by concepts as goofy as relocating the action to "The Planet of the Apes" in a 2005 staging in Munich, Germany.
Rigoletto, the Duke's court jester in Piave's libretto, is transformed by Mayer into a hanger-on and comic along the lines of Don Rickles and Joey Bishop. Monterone's curse created what some may perceive as an anti-Semitic overtone.
Like Franco Zeffirelli with his hyper-realistic sets for the Met's productions of "La Boheme," "Tosca" and "Turandot" in the 1980s, Mayer, set designer Christine Jones and lighting designer Kevin Adams go for spectacle, sometimes at the expense of clarity.
The Duke's opening "Questa o quella (This or that)" is delivered while clothed in a white tuxedo jacket. He waves an arm and croons into a microphone- no worries, amplification is not used- as eight dancers shake large yellow-and-orange feathers. Rigoletto's biting humor is lost in the extravaganza, to some extent evaporating that plotline and the reason for the anger of the Duke's toadies.
The staging settles down after that, with a few silhouetted palm trees in green and gold, enabling the basic story to come through: the kidnapping of Gilda by an entourage mistaking her for Rigoletto's mistress, the lecherous Duke's rape of Gilda, her unwavering crush and her father's quest for revenge. In the calamitous conclusion, she disguises herself in a trench coat and hat, allowing herself to be killed by the hit man her father hired to murder the Duke.
The Duke sings "Possente amor (A great love)" while swilling Scotch from a bottle (one verse only) and "La donna e mobile (Women are fickle)" while swinging around the stripper pole.
Monterone is shot in the head at the Duke's apartment- which has three chandeliers that are replicas of the ones hanging from the Met's ceiling. Sparafucile's inn becomes a seedy strip club out in the desert.
Mayer, making his opera debut, has a keen eye for detail. Gilda dabs tears from her father's eyes and with an embarrassed look buttons the top of her dress as she speaks with her father. She clutches and smells the white coat the Duke leaves on his apartment floor. While nearly all the Duke's buddies watch stone-faced as Rigoletto pleads, Marullo alone is disgusted, turns away and hangs his head.
Susan Hilferty's costumes had the Duke looking dashing, Rigoletto frumpy and Gilda girlish. The supporting cast was top-notch, with Stefan Kocan a vocally and visually imposing Sparafucile and Maria Zifchak a spineless Giovanna. In their Met debuts, Robert Pomakov was a booming Monterone and Oksana Volkova a seductive Maddalena. Emalie Savoy, in a floor-length gown, was a standard for glamour as Countess Ceprano.
Conductor Michele Mariotti impressed, drawing color, energy and dynamics from the orchestra.
Mayer's interjection of a half-naked stripper at the start of the third act was greeted with cheers- and then countered quickly by a few loud boos. His decision to have the sycophant group remain in the back of the Duke's apartment in the shadows during Gilda's confessional "Tutte le feste (Each holy day)" was jarring, and there the chorus remained through Damrau's chilling high note that ended the "Si, vendetta" duet.
Marring the evening were gimmicky updated Met Titles by Michael Panayos and Paul Cremo. Mayer's direction spoke for itself. No need for the chorus' "Vittoria!" to become "Jackpot!" and Sparafucile's "further on the stream is deeper" to be replaced by "it's a long drive to the river. Make sure you have enough gas!" Some in the audience giggled.
There are seven more performances with this cast through Feb. 23, with the Feb. 16 matinee telecast to theaters around the world. It returns for six nights in April and May with different principal singers. It will be interesting to see how Mayer's vision comes across with other casts.

Consulting Anthropologist
Governors Commission for a Sustainable South Florida
SfAA/EPA Environmental Anthropology Project
Year One Final Report
I. Introduction
This document serves as my Final Report and the completion of my Year 1 deliverables under my contract as Consulting Anthropologist to the Governors Commission for a Sustainable South Florida. This Final Report summarizes my activities which have been documented in my bi-weekly project updates to Barbara Johnston, SfAA/EPA Environmental Anthropology Project Director (attachment 1).
A joint agreement between the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agencys Office of Sustainable Ecosystems and Communities (EPA) provided, in part, the services of an Environmental Anthropology consultant to the Governors Commission for a Sustainable South Florida (GCSSF). As the consultant, I worked with the GCSSFs Executive Director, Dr. Bonnie Kranzer, on initiatives designed to help strengthen the ties between environmental quality and social, cultural, and economic conditions as they relate to ecosystem restoration activities in South Florida.
II. Project Description
Ecosystem restoration spans a number of overlapping South Florida landscapes&endash;from sawgrass marshes, mangrove swamps, and coral reefs to acres of agricultural lands and rural towns, all of which are bounded by a sprawling urban corridor, culminating in the pastelled urban metropolis of Miami. The scale of the greater South Florida restoration effort is vast&endash;for instance, the region spans more than 18,000 square miles with a population of about 6 million. The boundaries of this system include the Kissimmee River and floodplain, Lake Okeechobee, and the freshwater marshes south of Lake Okeechobee. These marshes interconnect with the Big Cypress Swamp (a national preserve) and ultimately flow through the mangrove and salt marsh estuaries into Florida Bay. The multiple federal, state, tribal, and local agencies coordinating South Florida restoration efforts are attempting to balance the often competing water and land requirements of the regions wilderness and developed areas.
The emphasis of ecosystem restoration initiatives in South Florida has been the expansion of the entire regions water resources. This emphasis on water reflects the way agencies have conceptualized restoration here&endash;which has primarily meant "natural" system restoration. And funding for restoration research has followed this directive, such as exotic plant species eradication programs, ecological and hydrologic modeling of the Everglades, etc.
There are two organizations coordinating local restoration efforts in South Florida: the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force "Working Group" and the Governors Commission for a Sustainable South Florida. In the past year (from July 1997 to July 1998), I have worked with both groups to develop avenues for integrating social, economic, and cultural goals into land management and environmental restoration decision-making, as well as adaptive management strategies. Brief descriptions of both of these groups follow within this section.
A. South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force "Working Group"The South Florida Ecosystem Restoration project consists of nearly 200 environmental restoration, growth management, agricultural, and urban revitalization projects, programs, and initiatives that are designed to make South Florida more sustainable in the future. Restoration activities are generally guided and coordinated by the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, its Florida-based Working Group, various advisory boards (e.g., the Governor's Commission for a Sustainable South Florida), and other technical working groups (e.g., the Science Coordination Team, Public Outreach Steering and Support Team, and project coordination teams).
The federal Water Resources Development Act of 1996 enabled the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force to establish a Florida-based working group. The Working Group supports the Task Force in its efforts to achieve, in cooperation with all interested parties, the restoration, preservation and protection of the ecosystem while promoting a sustainable South Florida. Working Group members include representatives from federal, state, and tribal agencies involved in ecosystem restoration in South Florida.
My involvement with the Working Group has been two-fold. I have attended Working Group meetings throughout the year and have provided staff support to Bonnie Kranzer, who is a member of the Working Group, on relevant socioeconomic issues. In addition, I have helped develop funding requests for social science research and programs as part of Working Group funding procedures.
1. Science Coordination TeamA Science Coordination Team (SCT) was established by the Working Group to assist both the Working Group and Task Force in meeting their obligations under the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 by ensuring the highest level of communication, coordination, and cooperation in the application of the various scientific disciplines to the ecological and socioeconomic problems of South Florida. Serving as the senior science advisory group to the Working Group and Task Force, the SCT is responsible for recommending research plans and priorities; and facilitating the integration, synthesis, and application of the best scientific information available for the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration effort.
The SCTs charter includes the coordination of social science research relevant to ecosystem restoration in South Florida. To help garner the SCTs support for social science research initiatives, I made a presentation to the SCT entitled "The Social Sciences and Ecosystem Restoration" (Attachment 2). As all SCT members, except Bonnie Kranzer, are physical and biological scientists, this presentation helped to brief the SCT on the relevance of social science research in regional ecosystem restoration projects. The support of the SCT later helped ensure funding for the Social Science Symposium (as discussed in Section III).
B. Governors Commission (GCSSF)
In 1994, Florida Governor Lawton Chiles created the Governor's Commission for a Sustainable South Florida through an Executive Order. This commission was created to explore and develop recommendations for balancing the needs of a healthy Everglades ecosystem with a dynamic and sustainable South Florida economy.
The Executive Order further recognizes that the results of rapid population growth, including land development, water management activities, and land conversion, have negatively impacted the Everglades ecosystem and that its water quality has been degraded and the associated natural systems no longer adequately accomplish the functions they once performed. With population expected to triple in the South Florida region in the next half century, it is increasingly critical that decisions are made which will curb the deleterious effects of growth and development and that recommendations are offered on how to ensure ecological health and a sustainable economy for South Florida over the long run.
To make these decisions, Governor Lawton Chiles appointed a 42 member standing Commission representing the South Florida business and economic community; public interest and environmental organizations; county and city officials; the regional planning councils; relevant state agencies; the Seminole Tribe; and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians.
The GCSSF offers a unique opportunity to observe the diverse interest groups involved in the region. My involvement in the activities of the GCSSF have included attending GCSSF monthly meetings and related sub-committee meetings, particularly the Public Outreach Committee and the Livable Communities Committee. When appropriate, I participate in the committee meetings and review committee products. For instance, I provided extensive comments on the Public Outreach Committees "Public Outreach Strategy," and their Request for Proposal for developing an educational video on sustainability.
Though generally, the majority of the projects I have been working on for the past year have been Working Group products. While the GCSSF has been supportive of the greater social science effort underway in South Florida, their support has been more benign than progressive or active. As the GCSSF serves as an advisory body to the Working Group, it is important for us to garner their support for social science initiatives to ensure future funding success. Moreover, the GCSSF already conceptualizes the issue of ecosystem restoration in a holistic manner&endash;linking urban issues to natural system restoration goals. Our mistake was assuming that the GCSSF understood what social scientists do, particularly as it relates to environmental issues. It would probably be beneficial for us to make an "informational" presentation to the GCSSF which outlines the role social science research plays in ecosystem restoration projects (similar to the presentation I made to the Science Coordination Team).
In the course of the past year, I have coordinated responses to two EPA Request for Proposals for the GCSSF. The GCSSFs mandatory consensus building role grants the group the ability to facilitate projects between governmental and non-governmental agencies, communities, and the private sector. Both proposed projects advocate the involvement of communities in environmental restoration and preservation initiatives. As the Consulting Anthropologist, I wrote and coordinated the development of the first proposal and oversaw the development and writing of the second proposal by GCSSF staff (Attachments 3 and 4).
1. Societal Indicators of Everglades Restoration ProjectThe GCSSF has ranked thirty-four projects proposed by the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Working Group as "critical" to the restoration of South Floridas Everglades ecosystem and for meeting the regions future economic and social needs. The scope of these Critical Projects is great. For instance, the Army Corps of Engineers has been allocated $75,000,000 to pay the federal share (representing a cost-share of 50%) of these Critical Restoration Projects, funded under the 1996 federal Water Resources Development Act. The Societal Indicators of Everglades Restoration Project is designed to help communities affected by these projects develop their own set of indicators for judging each projects long-term success. These indicators will then be incorporated into each projects planning and evaluation stages. The project partners [South Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the GCSSF, the Florida Department of Community Affairs, and the South Florida Regional Planning Council] have designed the project to include two goals: 1) facilitate the incorporation of local community standards and goals into the planning of these critical projects and 2) use the planning focus group sessions as a forum for discussing with community stakeholder groups the Critical Projects role in the broader context of South Florida sustainability.
2. Coral Reef Classroom Environmental Education Grant
The proposed Coral Reef Classroom (CRC) project is designed to expand an existing environmental education program managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Project partners include the National Audubon Society, the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Dade County School Board, the GCSSF, and representatives from the local dive boat industry. The CRC encourages students to think critically about the complexities of the coral reef ecology, concepts of habitat (human and non-built) interdependence, the costs and benefits of habitat protection, and how personal choice and decision-making affects the health of South Floridas diverse ecosystem. Project partners propose expanding the CRC, which has been successfully working with Monroe County school children for the past five years, to include Dade County schools. Specifically, project partners will work with the Dade County school board to target 10 schools in under-served areas, seeking out communities and neighborhoods whose populations are less traditionally involved in environmental issues.
III. South Florida Social Science Initiative
As a first step toward integrating social and economic goals into restoration planning, monitoring, and adaptive management strategies, the Working Group asked its Science Coordination Team (SCT) to develop a plan for social science input into the restoration process. Social scientists participating in the SCTs Ad Hoc Social Science Committee decided that holding a symposium to address social science input into South Florida ecosystem restoration would be the best method for developing such a plan.
While the social science research plan has been the major focus of the Ad Hoc Social Science Committee, the committee has initiated other concurrent projects to underscore the utility of social science research to agencies involved in restoration projects. My involvement in these activities include attending relevant stakeholder meetings throughout the region (such as sponsored by the Army Corps of Engineers); attending public outreach forums sponsored by the Working Group; seeking funding for "pilot" social science research projects; and helping to develop a socioeconomic monitoring plan for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
A. Pre-Symposium PresentationsTo garner support for the Social Science Initiative and symposium, I have made three presentations on the topic: 1) to the Working Groups Science Coordination Team (Nov. 3, 1997); 2) to the Army Corps of Engineers, Socio-Economics Branch (Jan. 6, 1998); and 3) to the members of the Biscayne Lands Trust Group&endash;a regional stakeholder working group (Jan. 27, 1998).
B. Social Science Symposium Planning
The focus of my work has been to help develop a directed symposium process designed to produce an "Action Plan for South Florida Social Science Research" as its endpoint. NOAAs Strategic Environmental Assessment Division provided us with a model for the symposium process (Attachment 5), which we adapted for the Social Science Initiative. I also helped design a "mock-up" or template for the Action Plan (Attachment 6). Having this mock-up during the planning stage of the symposium helped us stay focused throughout the process. To fund the symposium process, I wrote a project proposal and helped develop a project budget with Karyn Ferro of Everglades National Park (Attachment 7 and 8). This proposal was funded through the Department of Interiors Critical Ecosystem Science Initiative funding and we received $60,000.
An advisory body of key social scientists involved in environmental issues, called the "Core Group," was formed to oversee all significant symposium planning decisions. The Core Group includes:
1. Ms. Barbara DeMeo-Anderson, Seminole Tribe of Florida2. Dr. Margriet Caswell, USDA
3. Mr. Tom Culliton, NOAA
4. Dr. Miki Crespi, NPS
5. Dr. Shirley Fiske, NOAA
6. Ms. Karyn Ferro, ENP
7. Dr. Bonnie Kranzer, GCSSF
8. Dr. Bob Leeworthy, NOAA
9. Ms. Betsy LaRoe, EPA
10. Dr. Gary Machlis, NPS
11. Ms. Laura Ogden, GCSSF
12. Ms. Theresa Trainor, EPA
13. Dr. Robbin Shoemaker, USDA.
SfAA Environmental Anthropology Director, Dr. Barbara Johnston, helped ensure that two prominent anthropologists were included in this Core Planning Group (Dr. Miki Crespi and Dr. Shirley Fiske). Their participation was critical to shaping the direction of the symposium&endash;by making sure that the symposium process was applicable to the development of research strategies linked to the discipline and by identifying (and inviting) anthropologists from agencies and universities.
We held four "Core Group" meetings prior to the symposium, as well as numerous conference calls. I participated in each Core Group meeting and helped to develop agendas for each meeting.
Major pre-symposium planning tasks included choosing projects for evaluation in symposium break-out groups; coordinating the invitation process; and the development of pre-symposium information packets for all participants. Karyn Ferro, at Everglades National Park, and I orchestrated all three of these tasks. We designed the break-out groups to include restoration projects that are currently a part of the South Florida effort&endash;as a way of developing a model for applying social science to restoration projects. To choose the projects considered in the break-out groups (out of the hundreds of projects currently linked to ecosystem restoration in South Florida), the Core Group developed selection criteria. The Environmental Anthropology project helped to ensure that selection criteria included social and cultural variables (such as picking projects that represented a range of cultural groups&endash;from projects impacting agricultural labor to urban poor).
C. Symposium
Out of the seventy invited symposium participants, eleven anthropologists participated in the break-out group sessions. In addition, two anthropologists served as facilitators (myself and Theresa Trainor) for different break-out group sessions. Symposium participants recommended a total of fifty-one social science recommendations. Anthropologists worked on fourteen of these recommendations, in most instances in teams with other non-anthropologist symposium participants.
The involvement of the SfAA Environmental Anthropology Project in this process ensured a "critical mass" of anthropologists participating at the symposium. This critical mass may account for the overwhelming number of highly ranked recommendations which were clearly "anthropological" in scope and method. Of the three or four highest ranked social science recommendations for each group, over 1/3 of these recommendations employed traditional anthropological methods.
In addition, as Barbara Johnston suggested, the symposium provided a rare forum for applied anthropologists to interact with project managers involved in ecosystem restoration. These "technical experts" were typically senior level engineers or hydrologists working for the Army Corps of Engineers or natural resource managers. Although unanticipated, these technical experts teamed up with participating anthropologists to craft research recommendations. From the responses I received after the symposium, these technical experts were extremely enthusiastic about their experience at the symposium and the recommendations which it produced. For the anthropologists, and other participants, these personal contacts may help to garner support within agencies for social science research projects.
D. Post-Symposium
Since the symposium, I have coordinated the production of the symposium summary document (Attachment 9). This process involved following-up with all the symposium participants on their recommendations, and overseeing the input of all symposium materials into databases. Symposium summary documents were then sent to all participants and interested parties.
To gain funding for symposium recommendations, I have written a funding request for Year 2000 Department of the Interior, Critical Ecosystem Science Initiative funds (Attachment 10).
In addition, I presented an overview of the South Florida SfAA/EPA Environmental Anthropology project at the 1998 SfAA meetings in Puerto Rico (Attachment 11).
To help us translate the symposium recommendations into the "Action Plan," the US EPA is sponsoring a project intern to work out of the GCSSF office. As the intern will be working closely with me, I wrote the positions job description (Attachment 12) and coordinated the hiring process.
E. Literature Review
As part of the South Florida Social Science Initiative, we have been developing an annotated bibliography of relevant social science literature related to South Florida ecosystem restoration. I coordinated this effort by overseeing the work of project interns who developed a questionnaire which was sent to university departments throughout the state; helped to design a database for inputting the material; and helped the interns to write abstracts for the annotated bibliography. We were able to have this bibliography available to symposium participants prior to the meeting. The literature review was critical to the symposiums success, as it provided us a snapshot of past, current, and needed social science research related to ecosystem restoration in South Florida.
F. Social and Economic Monitoring for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
As the Consulting Anthropologist to the GCSSF, I was asked to help design a meeting for developing s Socioeconomic Monitoring Plan for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. This conference was sponsored by NOAAs SEA Division and was held in January of 1998. The majority of the participants at this conference were economists. In fact, I was the only anthropologist at either the planning meeting or the conference. Though my affiliation with the GCSSF (due to the SfAA/EPA joint agreement), I may have been able to affect the tenor of some of the recommendations which came out of this conference.

David Byrne Tour Documentary Comes to DVD
By Tom Breihan on May 23, 2011 at 04:25 p.m.
In 2008 and 2009, former Talking Heads frontman and all-around indie godfather David Byrne hit the road to tour behind Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, his great collaborative album with Brian Eno. Byrne called the tour "The Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno", as it celebrated the pair's long and massively productive collaborative partnership. Eno wasn't on the tour, but a troupe of modern dancers was.
As previously reported, director David Hillman Curtis used that tour as the basis for a documentary film called Ride, Rise, Roar. On May 31, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release the film on DVD and Blu-Ray.
Ride, Rise, Roar includes behind-the-scenes footage and stage performances. Below, watch a clip from the movie featuring the Everything That Happens track "I Feel My Stuff" as well as the making of the performance. We've also got the DVD tracklist:
David Byrne Settles Suit Against Florida Governor
By Tom Breihan on April 12, 2011 at 11:05 a.m.
When most of us think of David Byrne and suits, we think of the gigantic white thing Byrne wore in Stop Making Sense. But last year, Byrne got himself tangled in a different kind of suit: A lawsuit against former Florida governor Charlie Crist. When Crist was running for Senate, he used the Talking Heads song "Road to Nowhere" in an online campaign ad without permission or licenses. Crist promptly removed the ad, but Byrne still sought a million dollars from him. And now, Byrne points out on his website that he and Crist have settled the lawsuit.
The terms of the settlement have not been revealed. But the video you'll see below might be part of the settlement. In the clip, Crist, looking chastened, apologizes for using Byrne's song, noting that "Mr. Byrne has never permitted his songs to be used for advertising of any kind, a position I respect deeply."
David Byrne Sues Florida Governor
By Tom Breihan on May 24, 2010 at 04:35 p.m.
Billboard reports that David Byrne is suing Florida governor and senatorial candidate Charlie Crist for using the Talking Heads song "Road to Nowhere" in a campaign ad without permission or appropriate licenses. Crist, currently running for Senate as an independent, started out his campaign as a Republican, and he used "Road to Nowhere" in an ad attacking Republican primary opponent Marco Rubio. Byrne told Billboard that he was "pretty upset" over the ad, and he wants one million dollars in compensation.
Watch TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone Cover the Talking Heads
By Tom Breihan on May 21, 2010 at 10:40 a.m.
"Our Show With Elliot Aronow" is a sort of live variety internet show that explores the downtown New York art world. Recently, TV on the Radio/Rain Machine man Kyp Malone, whose beard has only gotten fuller and more awe-inspiring since TVOTR went on a break, stopped by to cover the Talking Heads' immortal, longing hymn "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)", with the band Harsh Toke backing him up. Malone's take is pretty faithful to the original, though it's interesting to hear a singer with a voice as muscular as Malone's interpreting David Byrne's freaked-out bleat.
Watch video of Malone singing the song below. And just for shits and giggles, you can also check out the Talking Heads playing the song in Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense-- the performance that includes Byrne's famous lamp-dance.
Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense Concert Film Hits Blu-ray
By Ryan Dombal on August 13, 2009 at 02:15 p.m.
The Talking Heads' 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense is one of those rock movies every self-respecting music fan should watch at least once. Longtime fans and newbies alike will get a chance to reignite their love of big suits, boomboxes, and some of the finest art-rock songs of all time when the Jonathan Demme-directed flick comes out on the crisp Blu-ray format October 13, courtesy of Palm Pictures.

Jefferson researchers led by Roger J. Pomerantz, MD, chief, medicine's infectious diseases, and director, Center for Human Retrovirology, are breaking new ground in research efforts to fight AIDS by pioneering gene therapy approaches.
By using gene therapy rather than traditional medication treatments, the researchers' goal is to turn AIDS into a chronic disease that can be treated and managed much the same as diabetes and heart disease.
The proposal to begin using gene therapy to treat HIV-1-infected patients has been approved by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has given approval to move forward with the project.
The proposed treatment, called "intracellular immunization," builds upon earlier Jefferson research. It would become part of clinical trials to introduce to humans a genetically constructed antibody that laboratory studies show can inhibit HIV-1 virus growth within their cells.
Jefferson's studies are among a very few in the world to take a gene therapy approach to AIDS treatment, says Dr. Pomerantz.
"This will be only the second or third gene therapy for HIV worldwide. We're especially proud of the undertaking because it was entirely developed at Jefferson," he explains.
"This is all a homegrown technique, involving a number of Jefferson departments, laboratories and staff. We are cautiously optimistic of its success."
Research Leads to Treatment
The decision to take a gene therapy approach to treating HIV disease or AIDS resulted from encouraging basic research studies done at Jefferson a few years ago.
What is called "intracellular immunization" would provide an alternative to administering medication to patients. Instead, patients' cells would be treated with a molecular construct making the cells resistant p; in effect, "immune" p; to HIV replication.
Results of the previous laboratory studies were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Human Gene Therapy and the Journal of Virology. The proposal to the FDA calls for clinical trials to begin in human patients within the next year.
Patients would be reinfused with HIV-resistant cells at Jefferson's Clinical Research Center. If production of gene therapy constructs goes smoothly, Dr. Pomerantz hopes these treatments could begin this year.
New Treatment Takes Innovative Approach to HIV
The Jefferson researchers are among the few in the world to view HIV more as a disease of DNA than as an infectious disease, Dr. Pomerantz explains. "One way to approach diseases of DNA is through gene therapeutic means," he adds.
Such an approach is "not easy," the infectious diseases chief stresses.
"It means you can't be good at just one thing. You have to be able to do both the basic and translational research, and also have a clinical center. Lots of places have a good clinical center, and lots do good basic research, but Jefferson is one of the very few to try to put all the pieces together in one location."
The interdepartmental approach draws on researchers and resources from the department of medicine as well as the Kimmel Cancer Institute and the newly established Center for Human Retrovirology.
While Not a Cure, Gene Therapy Could Extend Life Span
He emphasizes that gene therapy is not a "cure" for AIDS. Rather it offers a chance to turn AIDS into a "chronic disease," one that can be treated and managed much like other diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
"This is not to say gene therapy would not be analogous to a cure. It would be great if we could keep viral replication to almost zero. That would give people a normal life span while the disease is treated and better managed. Wouldn't it be something to change a disease that now claims fatalities within an average of 7 years to, say, 50 years? That's our long-range goal," Dr. Pomerantz concludes.

Flight Options' Jet Membership Club Signs 100th Member
Private-aviation firm Flight Options, LLC, reports that it has reached the 100-member milestone in its Jet Membership Club program within a year of its launch. The company also announced the addition of a Nextant 400XT business jet to its program, which already includes the Embraer Phenom 300, giving members of the club more to choose from.
"The Jet Membership Club's rapid growth in a very short period of time, and our clients' positive reception to the program's flexibility and value, has prompted us to expand the offering beyond the Phenom 300 to another equally revolutionary aircraft, the Nextant 400XT," said Michael J. Silvestro, CEO of Flight Options.
Silvestro added, "We set our sights on becoming the world's largest Phenom 300 operator, which is exactly what we are today. Like the Phenom 300, the 400XT offers our members one of the industry's most capable and efficient aircraft, resulting in an unrivaled value proposition. In a very short period, the 400XT has become an important differentiator for us."
The success of the Jet Membership Club's contributed significantly to Flight Options' operating income in 2012. Sales increased by more than 30 percent compared to last year's reported sales. The firm has more than 100 aircraft in its fleet, making it the second largest private-aviation company worldwide with more than 1,300 owners and clients.
"The Jet Membership Club is the perfect solution for our needs," said Jerry and Kathy Mohr, who are existing members of the Jet Membership Club. "The program is the only one that offers us access to the Phenom 300, an aircraft that meets our short and longer-range flights, for a three-year period, without having to own one outright or purchase an actual ownership share in the plane. The Jet Membership Club not only makes sense financially but also provides us with flexibility, predictability and simplicity. It's the perfect mix of programs for our needs."

Bearing assemblies
Metallized Carbon Corporation
Date Submitted:
Jun 18, 2010
Bearing assemblies
The 100 Series and 300 Series Bearing Assemblies are designed for use in gypsum board and ceiling tile continuous dryers. These self-aligning, bearing assemblies with carbon-graphite replaceable bearing cartridges are used to hold the powered rollers in large continuous dryers that are used for curing gypsum board and ceiling tile. The 100 Series and the 300 Series bearing assemblies are designed to permit the bearing cartridge to be replaced quickly and easily even after years of exposure to the high temperatures inside the dryer. Fast and easy bearing cartridge replacement is required in these dryers because of the short down time allowed for these large, high production dryers. The Metcar 100 Series bearing assemblies are designed to enable fast bearing cartridge replacement from the axial direction (that is when the bearing cartridge can slid over the end of the shaft). The 100 Series Bearing Cartridge slides onto the end of shaft, ears on the bearing cartridge flange slide into slots in the housing, the cartridge is rotated ninety degrees, and a circular clip lock is used to block the slots so the cartridge is secured in the housing The Metcar 300 Series bearing assemblies are designed to enable fast bearing cartridge replacement from the radial direction. This is necessary when the bearing assembly is located behind the roller drive sprocket or behind locking collars so it is not possible to slide the bearing cartridge over the shaft. The bottom half of the 300 Series Split Bearing Cartridge slides under the shaft and a slot on the bearing cartridge flange engages with a stud in the housing. The top half of the 300 Series split bearing cartridge is placed over the shaft and an easy clip wire spring is used to hold both halves of the split cartridge in place.ISA Partner Spotlight

A History of Japan: From Stone Age to Superpower (Google eBook)Japan's impact on the modern world has been enormous. It occupies just one 300th of the planet's land area, yet came to wield one sixth of the world's economic power. Just 150 years ago it was an obscure land of paddy fields and feudal despots. Within 50 years it became a major imperial power � it's so-called 'First Miracle'. After defeat in the Second World War, when Japan came close to annihilation, within 25 years it recovered remarkably to become the world's third biggest economy � it's 'Second Miracle'. It is now not only an economic superpower, but also a technological and cultural superpower. True miracles have no explanation: Japan's 'miracles' do. The nation's success lies in deeply ingrained historical values, such as a pragmatic determination to succeed. The world can learn much from Japan, and its story is told in these pages. |

The Clustering of FDI in India: The Importance of Peer Effects
We assess the location choices of 6,020 foreign and non-resident Indian investors at the level of Indian districts. Employing conditional logit models, we find that clustering of FDI is driven strongly by herding among investors from both, the same and other countries of origin. However, the behaviour of non-resident Indians and German investors is strikingly different from the general patternDownload Info

Some empirical tests on the integration of economic activity between the euro area and the accession countries
This note looks at the correlation of short-term business cycles in the euro area and the EU accession countries. The issue is assessed with the help of vector autoregressive models. There are clear differences in the degree of correlation between accession countries. For Hungary and Slovenia, euro area shocks can explain a large share of variation in industrial production, while for some countries this influence is much smaller. For the latter countries, the results imply that joining the monetary union could entail reasonably large costs, unless their business cycles converge closer to the euro area cycle. Generally, for smaller countries the relative influence of the euro area business cycle is larger. Also, it is found that the most advanced accession countries are at least as integrated with the euro area business cycle as some small present member countries of the monetary union.

BKB Ceramics
One of our favorite booths at Dwell on Design 2012 was BKB Ceramics, a company—well, an artisan really—based in Joshua Tree, California. From his home studio, Brian Bosworth crafts planters for cacti and succulents using rock or Styrofoam casts, a potter's wheel, and hand-construction techniques.
Bosworth trained as a sculptor at Claremont Graduate University but found himself drawn to ceramics about six years ago and began making his planter line as an extension of his sculpture practice. He started by casing molds of rocks and styrofoam, which then evolved into more abstract geometric and architectural forms, he says.
