Employees without sick days are more likely to go to work with a contagious illness, send an ill child to school or day care and use hospital emergency rooms for care, according to a 2010 survey by the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center. A 2011 study in the American Journal of Public Health estimated that a lack of sick time helped spread 5 million cases of flu-like illness during the 2009 swine flu outbreak.
To be sure, many employees entitled to sick time go to work ill anyway, out of dedication or at least a desire to project it. But the work-through-it ethic is shifting somewhat amid growing awareness about spreading sickness.
"Right now, where companies' incentives lie is butting right up against this concern over people coming into the workplace, infecting others and bringing productivity of a whole company down," said John A. Challenger, CEO of employer consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Paid sick day requirements are often popular in polls, but only four places have them: San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and the state of Connecticut. The specific provisions vary.
Milwaukee voters approved a sick time requirement in 2008, but the state Legislature passed a law blocking it. Philadelphia's mayor vetoed a sick leave measure in 2011; lawmakers have since instituted a sick time requirement for businesses with city contracts. Voters rejected a paid sick day measure in Denver in 2011.
In New York, City Councilwoman Gale Brewer's proposal would require up to five paid sick days a year at businesses with at least five employees. It wouldn't include independent contractors, such as Zavala, who supports the idea nonetheless.
The idea boasts such supporters as feminist Gloria Steinem and "Sex and the City" actress Cynthia Nixon, as well as a majority of City Council members and a coalition of unions, women's groups and public health advocates. But it also faces influential opponents, including business groups, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has virtually complete control over what matters come to a vote.
Quinn, who is expected to run for mayor, said she considers paid sick leave a worthy goal but doesn't think it would be wise to implement it in a sluggish economy. Two of her likely opponents, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Comptroller John Liu, have reiterated calls for paid sick leave in light of the flu season.
While the debate plays out, Emilio Palaguachi is recovering from the flu and looking for a job. The father of four was abruptly fired without explanation earlier this month from his job at a deli after taking a day off to go to a doctor, he said. His former employer couldn't be reached by telephone.
"I needed work," Palaguachi said after Friday's City Hall rally, but "I needed to see the doctor because I'm sick."

The number of commercial airline passengers using Aberdeen Regional Airport this year was down slightly through August, Airport Manager Mike Wilson told the Aberdeen Airport Board Thursday.
Enplanements totaled 15,498 this year, compared to 15,526 the first eight months of 2011. That's a drop of 0.18 percent.
The change was minimal, Wilson said, adding that the airport actually has a greater percentage of seats occupied this year.
Aberdeen has 100 seats a day. For the first three months of 2011, the number of seats was 114. Until August 2011, the seat count was 132.
In August 2011, the number of daily flights serving Aberdeen dropped from three to two.
SkyWest Airlines has said it would consider adding a third flight if Aberdeen's boarding percentage is in the mid-70s. Right now the rate is 65 to 70 percent, Wilson said.
Board member Steve Kaiser said he had hoped SkyWest's lower rates would have more of an impact on airport usage.
But Wilson said he and SkyWest are prohibited from publicizing fare amounts because Aberdeen is an essential air service facility.
Wilson also talked about the upcoming remodeling of the airport terminal. If work on the baggage claim area starts in October, he hopes that it will be complete in November. Wilson hopes the remodeling project will be done in April.
Wilson said he is awaiting a decision on an environmental impact assessment from the Bismarck, N.D., office of the Federal Aviation Administration. The Aberdeen airport needs a finding of no significant impact/record of decision before beginning the design of wetland and drainage improvements.
Personnel changes have slowed the decision. Wilson hopes that wetland mitigation will be done next year, with the airport's runway decoupling in 2014.
Wilson also reported on the annual certification and safety inspection conducted by the FAA. That two-day inspection, which is under Title 14, Part 139 of the Code of Federal Regulations, allows an airport to be used for commercial flights.
Wilson also told the board that employees are successfully doing a lot of concrete repairs at the airport.

More About Samurai Game by Christine FeehanOverviewIn a world so dark and seductive, expect nothing less than a triple-cross in the explosive all-new Ghostwalker novel by #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Christine Feehan...
In an underground club, a high-ranking public official spends his secret nights indulging in fantasies as exciting as they are depraved. For a seductive employee of the Dungeon, it's her job to fulfill them. But she's playing a far more dangerous game--one of blackmail, politics, and murder that reaches into the shadow world of the Ghostwalkers, and the creation of a spectacular, one-of-a-kind new weapon of defense.
But when a dictator makes his own catastrophic moves, the Ghostwalkers have no choice but to bring in two major players--a man and woman both driven by passion and revenge. Both expendable. Both with nothing left to lose.

Feehan's 10th GhostWalker novel (after Ruthless Game) is a suspenseful psychic romance burdened by an opening section that lacks plausibility. Azami Yoshiie and Ghostwalker Sam Johnson meet and fall in love during a lengthy attack on the GhostWalker compound. Their lust-filled introduction while in mortal danger doesn't wash, even though both were psychically enhanced by an evil genius. Dr. Whitney used his brilliance to help create a secret military force. On the side he experimented with little girls, many of whom, like Azami, he tortured and then threw away. Now Azami is a successful software expert and Mission Impossible–level assassin, and she vows to thwart Whitney's nefarious manipulations, which currently involve sacrificing Sam to an assault on a corrupt Congolese general. Sam doubts Azami's loyalties, but she soon proves her worth to the team. Strongly intertwined thriller and romantic elements tip the balance in favor of the romance, which quickly turns poignant, but that initial credibility issue looms large. Agent: Steven Axelrod, the Axelrod Agency. (July)
BookPage ReviewsFinding love on Dare Island
Set on the fictional Dare Island, Carolina Home by Virginia Kantra is a thoroughly wonderful read. Family comes first for fishing boat captain and single father Matt Fletcher, but his son's teacher—newcomer Allison Carter—causes him to steer off course. After a bad marriage, Matt is wary of commitment, but the beautiful blonde is making him reconsider his stance. Can he find room for romance between taking care of his business, his teenage son and the unexpected appearance of a young niece? While Allison is drawn to Matt and his family, she is aware of his reputation and tells herself she'll accept what they have without insisting on more. But as their feelings for each other grow, she knows she wants to be an integral part of his life. Will Matt open his heart and let her in? Readers will root for the pair's happy ending and look forward to the next visit to Dare Island.
Action, villains and heroic men and women pack Christine Feehan's Samurai Game. The GhostWalkers are impeccably trained and genetically enhanced soldiers, committed to protecting themselves and their children from the evil man who made them: Dr. Peter Whitney. Determined to put a stop to him herself, Azami Yoshiie visits the GhostWalker compound. Ostensibly on business, she wants to discover the whereabouts of Dr. Whitney, who experimented on her as a child and then abandoned her, broken and bruised. Now with samurai skills, she's eager to take on the doctor. Azami is thrown into a fight for her life with Sam Johnson—one of the GhostWalkers—at her side. Not only is Sam at her side, but he's in her mind; they share a telepathic connection and the unshakeable sense that they belong together. But Azami and Sam must fight inner and outer battles before being able to commit fully to their love. This is a thrilling ride with a heroine whose strength will capture readers' hearts.TOP PICK IN ROMANCE
A sophisticated widow and a younger man with a dangerous secret clash in Thief of Shadows, part of Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series. Winter Makepeace runs an orphanage in a crime-infested neighborhood of London called St. Giles. Lady Isabel Beckinhall is a new benefactor of the orphanage, and her acquaintance with Winter reveals that he is a man of hidden depths . . . and perhaps a clandestine double life. There is an avenger at work in the neighborhood—the infamous Ghost of St. Giles—and Isabel begins to wonder if she might know the person behind the mask. For his part, Winter tries to distance himself from the sensual lady. Not only is he beneath her socially, he's determined to remain celibate to devote his energies elsewhere. But Isabel proves impossible to resist, even as she discovers his secret—one that threatens their safety. Scorching love scenes, a hero and heroine with deep wells of emotion and a delightful twist at the end make this a memorable, remarkable romance.DISCUSSION

Ascertainment Corrections Based on Smaller Family Units The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 63, Issue 4, 1 October 1998, Pages 1202-1215 George Ebow Bonney Abstract Summary Ascertainment concerns the manner by which families are selected for genetic analysis and how to correct for it in likelihood models. Because such families are often neither drawn at random nor selected according to well-defined rules, the problem of ascertainment correction in the genetic analysis of family data has proved durable. This paper undertakes a systematic study of ascertainment corrections in terms of smaller distinct units, which will usually be sibships, nuclear families, or small pedigrees. Three principal results are presented. The first is that ascertainment corrections in likelihood models for family data can be made in terms of smaller units, without breaking up the pedigree. The second is that the appropriate correction for single ascertainment in a unit is the reciprocal of the sum of the marginal probabilities of all the persons relevant to its ascertainment, as if affected. The third result is a generalization of the single ascertainment-correction formula to k-plex ascertainment, in which each unit has k or more affecteds. The correction is the reciprocal of the sum of the joint probabilities of all distinct sets of k persons in the unit, as if they were all affected. In extended families, two additional ascertainment schemes will be considered and explicit formulas will be presented. One of these schemes is "uniform-proband-status ascertainment," in which nonmembers of a given unit have the same chance as members to become probands if they are affected; the other scheme is the "inverse law of ascertainment," in which the chance that nonmembers of a unit will become probands for that unit decreases with degree of relationship. Several specific recommendations are made for further study. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (463 kb) |
Ascertainment-Adjusted Parameter Estimates Revisited The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 70, Issue 4, 1 April 2002, Pages 886-895 Michael P. Epstein, Xihong Lin and Michael Boehnke Abstract Ascertainment-adjusted parameter estimates from a genetic analysis are typically assumed to reflect the parameter values in the original population from which the ascertained data were collected. Burton et al. (2000) recently showed that, given unmodeled parameter heterogeneity, the standard ascertainment adjustment leads to biased parameter estimates of the population-based values. This finding has important implications in complex genetic studies, because of the potential existence of unmodeled genetic parameter heterogeneity. The authors further stated the important point that, given unmodeled heterogeneity, the ascertainment-adjusted parameter estimates reflect the true parameter values in the ascertained subpopulation. They illustrated these statements with two examples. By revisiting these examples, we demonstrate that if the ascertainment scheme and the nature of the data can be correctly modeled, then an ascertainment-adjusted analysis returns population-based parameter estimates. We further demonstrate that if the ascertainment scheme and data cannot be modeled properly, then the resulting ascertainment-adjusted analysis produces parameter estimates that generally do not reflect the true values in either the original population or the ascertained subpopulation.

Likelihood Formulation of Parent-of-Origin Effects on Segregation Analysis, Including Ascertainment The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 70, Issue 1, 1 January 2002, Pages 142-156 Fatemeh Haghighi and Susan E. Hodge Abstract We developed a likelihood-based method for testing for parent-of-origin effect in complex diseases. The likelihood formulations model parent-of-origin effect and allow for incorporation of ascertainment, as well as differential male and female ascertainment probabilities. The results based on simulated data indicated that the estimates of parental effect (either maternal or paternal) were biased when ascertainment was ignored or when the wrong ascertainment model was used. The exception was single ascertainment, in which we proved that ignoring ascertainment does not bias the estimation of parental effect, in a simple parent-of-origin model. These results underscore the importance of considering ascertainment models when testing for parent-of-origin effect in complex diseases. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (156 kb) |

A method of historical inference that accounts for ascertainment bias is developed and applied to single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in humans. The data consist of 84 short fragments of the genome that were selected, from three recent SNP surveys, to contain at least two polymorphisms in their respective ascertainment samples and that were then fully resequenced in 47 globally distributed individuals. Ascertainment bias is the deviation, from what would be observed in a random sample, caused either by discovery of polymorphisms in small samples or by locus selection based on levels or patterns of polymorphism. The three SNP surveys from which the present data were derived differ both in their protocols for ascertainment and in the size of the samples used for discovery. We implemented a Monte Carlo maximum-likelihood method to fit a subdivided-population model that includes a possible change in effective size at some time in the past. Incorrectly assuming that ascertainment bias does not exist causes errors in inference, affecting both estimates of migration rates and historical changes in size. Migration rates are overestimated when ascertainment bias is ignored. However, the direction of error in inferences about changes in effective population size (whether the population is inferred to be shrinking or growing) depends on whether either the numbers of SNPs per fragment or the SNP-allele frequencies are analyzed. We use the abbreviation "SDL," for "SNP-discovered locus," in recognition of the genomic-discovery context of SNPs. When ascertainment bias is modeled fully, both the number of SNPs per SDL and their allele frequencies support a scenario of growth in effective size in the context of a subdivided population. If subdivision is ignored, however, the hypothesis of constant effective population size cannot be rejected. An important conclusion of this work is that, in demographic or other studies, SNP data are useful only to the extent that their ascertainment can be modeled.

Chinese Death Bus Kills You, Pilfers Organs
Wow. The bus seen here is one of forty in China used as a mobile execution chamber for criminals sentenced to death. And no, it doesn't run over you.
The buses provide a setup for lethal injections, and the acts are carried out on streaming video so local authorities can observe and ensure that everything is done legally.
Critics say that the buses help the government secretly harvest organs to sell to the west, as there's already a doctor on hand to administer the injection and they never show the bodies between execution and cremation.
The government is secretly harvesting criminal's organs for sale to the west? Wow, that is freaking wrong. China, get with the program, that shit ain't right.

"What I like about James is that he is very humble. He's not shy, but he's humble. And that is how he takes his leadership, very seriously. I can ask him to take over and keep order in class, and James will do just that."
"James Brien is a senior this year. He's been a starter every since I've been here. This is my third year at Allen Academy. He's been a starting quarterback for at least two years now, and his leadership is invaluable on the field and off the field. He's our leading tackler,,,and as a starting quarterback you always gotta be a vocal leader on the 'field…And he does that for us.
"Well, I know I have to set a good example on the football field, so I always try to give my best. And that really helps out in the classroom and everywhere else. You have to always give your best, give a hundred percent and it just helps me to know I have to focus and work hard."
"It's pretty easy….There has to be somebody to help rally the troops and get us prepared and focused and help us stay on task…So it's pretty natural….Sometimes I have to try and be more vocal with our team, and help lead a little more, but it's usually pretty easy."
James plans on attending Texas A&M University to further his education.
Congratulations to James Brien of Allen Academy. This week's News 3 Sports Classroom Champion!

Here is a five minute mini mix from Jamie XX of the band of the moment, The XX. This mix originally ran on BBC1's Annie Mac show. The XX seem to have blown up overnight with their remix of Florence & The Machine's "You've Got the Love" (a cover of the hit dance track from Jamie Principle and Candi Stanton). Rumors are swirling that The XX may be working on a new remix album. For now, you can catch one of the hottest bands of the moment on tour with Hot Chip and JJ

The only thing I can say that the problem might be godaddy DNS recent problems. but I do not have their hosting...
How do you think, can godaddy DNS problems may have made problems with Google for my website?

Fashion Fails: A Night At The Oscars And Bonus Bieber
March 3rd, 2013 6:07pm EST
It's Fashion Fail Time! That means we take a break from letting you know how good all of your favorite stars look to show the other side of fashion: the fails! Today we get to review the fails from the Oscars red carpet, where we were treated to some of the best styles of the year... and some of the worst.
Anne Hathaway's dress was beautiful in many ways, especially considering she had to swap out her first choice at the last minute. However, it was all overshadowed by the darts in her top, something she felt she had to apologize for after the show.
We understand in Salma Hayek felt the need to prove she could look good without showing off her cleavage, but that huge gold collar takes away from the rest of the beautiful black dress hugging her figure.
The extra amounts of fabric wrinkling up Melissa McCarthy's dress makes it even more unflattering. Look how much extra length the arms have.
Fan Bingbing's dress looks more like an attempt at cubism than a dress. We got a hint at her figure, but the frozen shape is just too much for us.
Catherine Zeta-Jones looked great, but for some reason she decided to let her dress take all the attention away with a shiny, metallic bodice.
Kristen Stewart was hobbled by a leg injury, but so was her choice of a dress that looked like it was right off the rack and in the wrong size. Not to mention it appears she forgot to comb her hair for a few days.
We applaud Helen Hunt for going mainstream with an H&M gown, but it would have been nice if she got it in her size and bothered to iron it.
Sunrise Coigney had something going with the bottom half of her dress, but unfortunately it was paired with a boring black bodice that droops around the waist. She then paired it with odd shoes, a blue purse, and a high-style necklace. It was all out of place.
Here is your bonus Justin Bieber. What the hell is going on here? Maybe he's striving for Oddjob's position with his weaponized hat. Even then, we're not sure why he needs two watches, and we don't think a leopard would last long in the wild with purple fur. Finally, it must be difficult to use glasses with the brand's sticker still on the lens.

A major road is open again in Sylvania after weeks of construction. Work began on Erie Street, between Little Farms Court and Little Street in July.
As construction wraps up and the road reopens, residents in the area say they're relieved. Those who live in Centennial Farms say their neighborhood was used as a quick detour for motorists during construction.
Ed Kaser has lived in the neighborhood for almost 20 years and says he's never seen that much traffic.
"We have maybe two or three cars go down the street," he said. "[During construction, it was] a couple hundred, so it was hard to back out of your driveway sometimes."
Kaser says the bridge was in bad shape and needed fixed, but he's glad it's done. Shoulder work is still being completed on the bridge, but both lanes of the road are open. Construction on Monroe Street is expected to wrap up at the end of the month.

Here, in an extraordinary place is an extraordinary collection of art. From the Rubens' Galleries to the Turrell Skyspace, view the permanent collection's treasures, the fascinating exhibitions from around the world and the classical sculptures that fill the grand courtyard. The State Art Museum of Florida, this awe-inspiring palace was originally built by famed circus impresario John Ringling as a legacy to the citizens of Florida. This is a place of beauty and wonder.
Museum of Art
What's On
Optical Impulses presents the art of pivotal artists who explore both the phenomenal and psychological aspects of visual perception. The prints and sculpture multiples in this exhibition introduce viewers to some of the challenging modes of abstraction en vogue during the heady days of the late 1960s and early 70s.
Special Exhibition, Unfamiliar Realities provides an opportunity for viewers to explore the ways in which photographers have exploited the particular characteristics of the medium to reframe, manipulate, or reimagine the world as captured by the lens.
The Museum of Art Courtyard will swing with the big band sound during Art After 5. Come soak up the jazz vibe and listen to contemporary sounds in the beautiful Museum of Art Courtyard. Food and beverage will be available for purchase.
In this Gallery Performance, Violinist Todd Reynolds performs Moments of Inertia, R. Luke DuBois' piece for amplified violin and video, as well as repertoire from Reynolds and Dubois' 10+ years of collaborating.
Inuksuit – the Inuit word meaning "in the capacity of the human" – is an immersive musical work for "nine to ninety-nine percussionists" that will transform The Ringling's Museum of Art Courtyard as it heightens our awareness of the sights and sounds that surround us on the Vernal Equinox.

Howard Carl Ratzman
A memorial celebration will be held 4-6 p.m. Saturday, July 10, at the Red Lion Inn Hotel, 221 N. Lincoln St., Port Angeles, for Sequim resident Howard Carl Ratzman, who died June 30, 2010, at the age of 89.
Born May 30, 1921, in Chilliwack, British Columbia, he moved to Seattle after graduating from high school in Chilliwack.
He worked briefly for the post office, then joined the Army, stationed in Skagway, Alaska, as a radio code technician during World War II.
He married his wife, Erline in 1942, while serving in Alaska. They moved to Sequim after his service and he joined in a partnership with a friend to start an appliance business in Sequim. He later had several business ventures in Sequim and Port Angeles before moving his family to Port Angeles in 1960. He owned Howard's Honda at 933 E. First St., Port Angeles, before retiring in 1986.
The Ratzmans moved to Umpqua, Ore., in 1992, returning to the Olympic Peninsula in 2006.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Erline Ratzman; son and daughter-in-law Dean and Valli Ratzman of San Diego, Calif.; daughter and son-in-law Georgeanne and Denny Nichols of Leavenworth; daughter-in-law Cynthia Ratzman of Bend, Ore.; sister Dode Oakes of Chilliwack; three grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and several nephews and nieces.
He was preceded in death by his son, Terry Ratzman, sister, Helen Blair, and a granddaughter.
Floyd L. Griesinger
No services were reported for former Sequim resident Floyd L. Griesinger, who died June 24, 2010, at the age of 88 in Colorado Springs, Colo.
He was born Feb. 9, 1922, in Elgin, Iowa, to Fred and Ida Griesinger.
The family moved to Independence, Iowa, in 1939.
He worked for the REA and James Davis Electric as an electrician.
He joined the Army Air Corps in March 1942. Selected for aviation training, he completed pre-flight in Santa Ana, Calif., and trained in A-20s, B-25s, B-17s and B-24s.
As pilot of the B-24 Henry's Pride attached to the 446th Bomb Group and stationed at Bungay near Flixton, England, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, two oak clusters, and Air Medal with three oak clusters, while flying 30 missions against the Third Reich.
He married Jeanette Sink of Carlsbad, N.M., in 1945 in Walla Walla.
He worked as an accountant for a potash mine near Carlsbad and returned to the Air Force in 1951. After several assignments in the United States and the Far East, he retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1970.
An avid fisherman, he spent many years living in an Air Stream trailer following the fishing seasons between Alaska and Mexico. He settled in Sequim in 1977 and relocated to Colorado Springs to be closer to family.
He is survived by his son William, daughter-in-law Dolora and two grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his sister Francis Gates.

Nike Toki Mid – Full Grain Leather – Size? Exclusives
October 22nd, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 10 comments
With Nike Sportswear's constantly expanding range of casually-oriented sneakers pushing their way into all corners of the sneakerhead culture, a few models are bound to be overshadowed and perhaps even forgotten. It hasn't been too terribly long since the Nike Toki released in a new colorway, but it would indeed take something special from this vulc-soled chukka midtop sneaker to get it back atop the Swoosh lifestyle rankings. These two new Size?-exclusive Toki Mids might be just what the doctor ordered, then, their 500-pair limited run for white and black full grain leather pairs among the nicest we've seen since the model launched. Look more closely at both pairs after the jump and hit up Size? to get yours before it's too late.

Recipe by SIMZGIRL
"A perfect dressing to pour over a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, toasted almonds and crumbled blue cheese! Mmm!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup olive oil
1/2 pint fresh strawberries, halved
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon white sugar
I followed recipe,but didn't have tarragon and i omitted salt because i am on a low salt diet.This still came out fabulous my family loved. Next ime will try with tarragon
I honestly have to say this was the worst recipe for a vinagrette i've ever seen....the balance of oil to vinegar is completely! i tried it just for the hell of it and as i thought...... you need at least 1/4-1/3 cup vinegar.
56 Ratings
This vinaigrette came out tasting VERY olive-oily: nothing like a vinaigrette. It was thick like a ranch dressing, but without any flavor other than olive oil.
Very good! I pureed frozen strawberries and added much more balsamic (too much olive oil taste) and omitted the spices with the exception of black pepper. Delicious!
Very nice ! Great on our spinach salad. We skipped the blue cheese. But really enjoyed this dressing. very 'Springy'. THANKS!
Excellent and simple. I adjusted the recipe to make it even easier. I chopped a pint of strawberries, added 2 packets of sweet and low and a little water. Let it soak over night and served it on a bed of baby leaf spinach. It was delicious. My non-vegetable eating boyfriend even loved it!
This was a little thick for a vin. i added my own stuff to it to make it more like salad dressing and less like a puree.
This is the first dressing I've ever made. Tried it last night to pour over a salad with candied almonds, oranges and strawberry flavored dried cranberries. After reading some of the reviews, I altered the recipe a bit. I made the ratio of oil to vinegar 3:1 (Joy of Cooking) and added 2 TB of honey to delay the separation of the emulsified ingredients. It did not turn out very liquid; more like a dressing than a vinaigrette, but man was it delicious. It got 12 thumbs up among our party of 6. Five stars with the corrected ratios.

Representatives from 30 Latin American Countries to prepare World Heritage Action Plan
Cette page n'est pas intégralement disponible en français, vous pouvez la consulter en anglais.
The final meeting in the Second Cycle of the Periodic Report on the State of World Heritage in Latin America and the Caribbean will take place from 3 to 5 December in Santiago, Chile. The objective of the meeting is to draw up a World Heritage Action Plan (2013-2020) for this region.
The activity is in compliance with Decision 36 COM 10C, approved by the World Heritage Committee at its 36th Session that took place in St Petersburg, Russia, in July this year. The head of the Latin American and Caribbean Unit, UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Nuria Sanz, will attend the meeting.
The head of the Latin American and Caribbean Unit UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Nuria Sanz, will be at the meeting. "This will be the first time that the World Heritage community in Latin America and the Caribbean meet in Chile. More than thirty countries will discuss the future of Regional World Heritage in Santiago, so we expect a rich debate about the ways in which the World Heritage can contribute to the development of programmes that the international community is preparing for after 2015, where the sites will be the stage for collaboration with social policies that contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. We hope that this meeting will confirm the goal of creating cooperation platforms between the 130 sites on the list so far".
The organization of this high-level event is the result of a joint effort between diverse national public institutions: the Government of Chile; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Ministry of Education; the National Monuments Board; the National Council for Culture and the Arts (CNCA); and the Department of Libraries, Archives and Museums (Dibam). In addition, the Latin American and Caribbean Unit, UNESCO World Heritage Centre will be there in close cooperation with the Regional Bureau of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC/UNESCO Santiago) in close collaboration with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
The meeting will be held in the Lo Contador University Campus, in the World Heritage Centre of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
All the information related to the event can be found at its official site.

© 2014 Bixby's Restaurant, Missouri History Museum |
AboutThe Missouri History Museum reflects the fundamental obligation of every generation to leave this community, region and world in better condition for those who will next inherit them. Bixby's was created in support of this core value of Stewardship adopted by the Missouri History Museum in 2001. From the selection of a leading cultural philanthropist, William K. Bixby, as the naming inspiration at the restaurant to the development of our guiding culinary theme of "Dining with Local Influence", Bixby's seeks to create another vehicle to make a difference in our community. Chef Greg Ziegenfuss created the Bixby's menu not only by modifying ingredients and looking at culinary selections from a slightly different angle, but by utilizing and imaginatively combining local products. A chef can make an established or even unadventurous dish seem new and refreshing using this simple strategy; one that often results in food that is familiar enough to be broadly appealing but different enough to excite. At Bixby's "Dining with Local Influence" embraces artfully crafted regional ingredients developed into seasonal lunch menus. |

Dave Alvin
Dave Alvin
Dave Alvin helped to kick-start the American roots rock scene in the early '80s with the band the Blasters, and has since gone on to a career as a solo performer, songwriter, producer, and sideman that's been as well respected as it is eclectic. Born in Downey, California in 1955, Alvin was raised by a family of music fans, and as teenagers Dave and his older brother Phil immersed themselves in blues, rockabilly, and vintage country sounds, collecting rare records and attending nightclub performances by the likes of T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, and Lee Allen. Like many fans, the Alvin brothers wanted to play music influenced by the sounds they loved, and in 1979 they formed the Blasters with fellow Downey residents Bill Bateman and John Bazz. Combining the revved-up energy of punk rock with an enthusiastic embrace of classic American sounds, the Blasters became a sensation in Los Angeles and won an enthusiastic cult following across the United States and Europe. However, the Blasters were unable to translate their critical respect and enthusiastic fan base into mainstream success, and in 1986 Dave left the band. Phil Alvin continued to front various lineups of the Blasters, and in 2002 Dave joined forces with Phil, Bill Bateman, and John Bazz for a short series of Blasters reunion shows.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014 5:13pmPresident Obama asks the Labor department to toughen up rules on overtime pay, especially for jobs like store managers and supervisors. We look at why wages haven't really increased in the last 20 years, and what tools employers use to keep wages where they are. Also: Starbucks has now, in effect, put a tip jar in your smartphone by adding a tipping feature to its app. So many people and businesses are now soliciting tips that know when to tip is more confusing than ever. And we continue to learn new things about the business of fracking. The latest: fracking in North Dakota produces 27 tons a day of radioactive dirty socks – cloth devices used to filter fracking liquids coming out of the ground. And North Dakota doesn't want them.
Tuesday, March 11, 2014 2:15pmWe figure out what comprises the stolen passport business, from point of theft to point of sale, by looking at the players, the costs and the business of dealing in stolen passport papers. Also: Senate Banking Committee leaders came out with plans to wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The bipartisan plan calls for a private reinsurer to step in, and be on the hook for at least 10 percent of any losses on mortgate debt. And since it's TV pilot season, we look at the practice of the "pilot pre-nup" -- agreements between stars and studios. They do one episode, and if it's not picked up, the developer and the star are paid off.
Monday, March 10, 2014 11:53amUnited Fruit has come a long way. The fruit distributor now known as Chiquita Brands is merging with Fyffe's of Dublin. We look at the banana biz and the fruit biz – both companies are into other fruits, too. Plus: We examine what is wrong with Ukraine's economy and what it needs to do to repair it and get out from under Russian economic dominance. How much aid does it need. Finally: After a string of deaths, Sigma Alpha Epsilon eliminates all together. This is a survival move by SAE. We look at the frat as an economic entity—because Frats are big business, and have all the trappings, from lobbyists.
Friday, March 7, 2014 5:40pmNo, it's not like everybody's opening up their fallout shelters. But c'mon, there has been a certain Cold War quality to the past week. This time, though, it's international trade and not tactical nukes that's the real weapon. So today, a Marketplace special: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Global Economy." We get the perspective on the ground in Ukraine, and give a breakdown of exactly which parts of Ukraine's economy have the most impact in the world. And in this global economy, we look at what the idea of a global superpower really means.
Thursday, March 6, 2014 3:25pmWe look at how the natural gas boom in this country could be used a weapon in geopolitics -- by undercutting Vladimir Putin and Russia's dominance of Europe's fuel. And, though there are so many wonderful uses for them, bananas are doomed. At least according to one writer with Quartz. Meanwhile, we're following up on the news of yet another delay in the Affordable Care Act. People enrolled in plans that don't meet the law's stricter coverage standards can keep them for another two years. That potentially buys Democrats some political cover in the coming mid-term elections. The question, though, is who picks up the tab?
