Disney's Perpetual Florida Summer to Frost Over with New 'Frozen' Attractions
Because Disney World is in Florida, there's extremely little chance of it being hit with a White Christmas. Come 2016 however, Micky's digs will enjoy a constant winter cozies thanks to new attractions themed after the hit animated feature, 'Frozen'.
Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf will call Epcot home with "Frozen-world" in where else but the Norway pavilion at Epcot. The area will feature a new Frozen ride set in a glimmering castle, plus an adventure through Arendelle, the fictional Scandinavian village in which the movie is set.

Why Billions and Billions of Disney Dollars are Bound for Japan
In the wild world of theme parks the offerings by Disney over in Japan are often considered to be the best of the best. Sure Disneyland and Walt Disney World here at home are great spots to visit, but it seems like over in Japan they have all the best rides, newest attractions, and the biggest budgets—they spare no expense.
Now things are going to get even better, as it sounds like the folks behind the parks in partnership with Disney are spending around $4.6 billion to upgrade, improve, and expand the parks in Tokyo. Both Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are set to receive the influx of cash and construction, as the renovations are expected to take place over the next ten years.

Will Harry Potter Move to China? Universal Studios Announces Beijing Park
Pack your best roller coaster riding pants, as China is all set to welcome the thrills and chills of a major new attraction. The folks over at Universal Studios have been running the numbers, preparing the PowerPoint presentations, and now it's time to start about building a new park over in Beijing.
The opening date of the park hasn't been announced, but you can bet on it being a few years from now; the bulldozers haven't even arrived on scene yet. The planned park will take up around 1,000 acres, and will likely feature all kinds of superheroes and movie favorites from Spider-Man to Transformers.

What's Old is New Again at Disney's Epcot
Even if you're not too familiar with the movies that Disney has been releasing into theatres there's a pretty good chance you know about Frozen. That's especially the case if you have turned on the radio at all this year, as that Let It Go tune has been pretty much everywhere.
Of course there's plenty of money to be had in the marketing and promotion surround the movie, and now Disney is bringing its cash cow even further into the theme parks.

Will Drones Soon Be Buzzing Overhead at Disney Theme Parks?
It sounds like Disney is hard at work thinking of the latest and greatest in theme park technology, but this time things aren't exactly related to new rides, attractions, or roller coasters.
Disney recently filed a few patent applications for some of their new ideas, and they have a lot to do with drones. Specifically, the plans sound like the theme parks are planning to put unmanned flying devices to work in the name of sharing a little more entertainment with visitors.

Will a Legoland for New York Become Reality?
File this one under "wait and see," but there's some evidence that a new theme park could be coming to the greater New York City area. It's not another Six Flags or even a roller coaster kingdom, but something more interactive and imaginative. That's rightthe Hudson Valley may welcome its very own Legoland.
The plan is to utilize the site of the former Letchworth Village in Thiells within the town of Haverstraw. Recently the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council met to chat about stuff like economic development—ha—and the plans for the theme park received a positive reception.

All the Ways Six Flags is Celebrating National Roller Coaster Day This Saturday
Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey
Regardless of whether it's a made-up holiday, Six Flags' celebration of "National Roller Coaster Day" this Saturday, August 16th, should make for a better day at the park as each of its North American locations pay tribute with special roller coaster events and social media contests. Below, we highlight some fun facts and the majoring happenings at the different parks, which, in total, feature about 130 coasters. Links are provided for more information about each specific park.
• Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, California: This park in the valley boasts more coasters than any other on the planet. Saturday marks the last day of operation for the 36-year-old Colossus wooden coaster, and anyone who rides it will receive a farewell button.

Halloween Theme Park Preview: Universal Hollywood's Werewolf Maze
We're halfway through August, and before you know it the cooler temperatures and spooky stuff of fall will be here. That means that Halloween marketing is starting to arrive. The candy might not be at the store just yet, but the theme parks are getting ready to celebrate the season—like Universal Studios Hollywood and Halloween Horror Nights.
The park over in California is taking a few pages out of their own film library, as they're calling on An American Werewolf in London for inspiration on their latest seasonal selection.
The maze opens up for the season on September 19, and it sounds like they're taking plenty of cues from the original film. Organizers promise totally convincing props, authentic music, and special effects that will scare you silly—especially when it comes to all things werewolf.

That's the question being exclaimed by visitors to Universal Studios Orlando, as the theme park has announced that their newest ridethe Hogwarts Express within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alleyjust surpassed 1 million riders.
This train, a ride experience we heralded as "the most attractive ride at Universal Orlando" and which became our favorite of all at the park, only opened to the public on July 8, 2014. On August 7, the Universal Orlando Facebook page announced they'd reached the million riders, conveniently one day short of the ride's one month anniversary.

This Indiana Theme Park is Spending $22 Million on Their Next Roller Coaster
We're right in the middle of theme park season, so it seems a little unusual for a park to start building excitement over some future rides and attractions. We'd think they would still be focusing on this year. However, we'll just assume that the folks over at Holiday World know what they're doing, as they just announced that they will be spending $22 million to construct a new roller coaster.
It will be the country's first launched winged coaster, and it will be known as Thunderbird once the final bits and pieces are assembled in 2015. The details are still coming out, and we'll know more as the construction progresses; however, we do know that the ride will hit 60 miles per hour in just over three seconds—hang on. There's the usual twists, turns, and whatnot as well as 14-story version of something called an Immelmann loop.

It'll Take $3.5 Billion to Build Asia's Newest Theme Park by 2018
It seems like Asia is the hotspot when it comes to theme park construction and expansion, and now there's news that the continent will be adding yet another place to hop on some rides and enjoy some attractions.
The company behind the new plans is 20th Century Fox, and they're ready to build something brand new over in South Korea. Details like rides and attractions are limited at this point—as in non-existent. Alas, we do know that the new park will take up around 75 acres and be a key feature of the Ungdong Entertainment Complex in Changwon City.

Travel to Nepal/Tibet & to Everest base camp has been #1 on my bucket list since I was a child. Now at 60 ish I can afford it. I went to Tanzania a few years ago in February, and due to air quality/pollution, allergies went into hyper-drive caused mostly by lots of smoke and traffic congestion in populated areas in and nearby Arusha. Surprisingly the Hospital there was very nice & helpful. (Yeah, it was that bad) I was good in the Serengeti. This was an issue I never seen addressed on the forum on either of these places - Africa or Asia (except for cities in China) . "Dusty" is expected and manageable.
FYI - The only other place I cannot go is inside any of the "Las Vegas" casinos for the same reason. Otherwise, life is good everywhere else.
In general, I do not expect the greatest of air quality in Asia. But, this is a costly trip to go on and really don't want to end up being sick like before. Can anyone who has been to Nepal &Tibet provide any insight on this issue? How bad is it - or do I have to settle on Nat Geo on the TV

I've spent a total of almost 4 weeks in the Kathmandu Valley over two trips. When I was there the first time in 1994, there were lots of particulates in the air (due to the tuk-tuks). We couldn't see the mountains from the city. When I returned in 2008, the air was much better. We could see the mountains easily. Yes, there is air pollution, but at least when we were there (Nov) it was ok. The Kathmandu Valley is really a worthwhile destination. There are something like 10 world heritage sites in the valley, every one of them worth a visit.
Let me suggest you choose a trek to somewhere other than the EBC. There are many gorgeous treks/walks in Nepal, EBC is not one of them. Since you are also going to Tibet, I expect you plan to drive to the base camp from the Tibet side.
To be honest with you, while I have not been to Tibet, I would not go. The things I am most interested (Buddhist sites) in were destroyed by the Chinese during the cultural revolution. Instead, we visited Sikkim, which is now part of India. It has many Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, some have been there for centuries, some were established after the Chinese invasion of Tibet.
Sikkim is lovely. You are in the Himalayas and you have the gorgeous mountain scenery. The locals have done a lot to preserve the environment. Nepal was mostly clear-cut due to the demands for firewood. While some forests have been replanted. it is still a pretty degraded environment, though less so than in 1994. Sikkim is different.
I have trip reports here on both trips: http://www.fodors.com/community/asia/kathie-returns-to-katmandu-2008.cfm

Both times I have been to Tibet, last being two years ago, the weather was perfect with blue skies. Altitude was a bit of a problem but no pollution at those times, once being in October and the other in November.

There is no or little air pollution in Tibet. If you have a very sensitive respiratory system, caution should still be taken as there are particulates in the air - mainly from dust from dirt roads, as well as soot from domestic burning of yak dung as fuel for heat and cooking.
Tibet is still an extremely interesting place. Chinese rule/occupation cannot and will not destroy all their culture. Also, the destruction of some of their sites and artifacts is unrelated to the Cultural Revolution. Instead it was and is deliberate policy from the highest level in Beijing. Very different from what happened in the rest of China in the 60's to early 70's.

tibet's air condition is very good, no pollution, but as it is plateau section, you better take care of your self

If you're concerned about air quality, spend as little time in Kathmandu as possible and get out hiking in the countryside in Nepal. Lhasa is one of very few cities in China with decent air quality. But it can get dusty in the dry season and there are a few factories now just outside Lhasa that do generate some pollution. Despite the heavy Chinese security presence, the Potala and Jonang temple are still worth seeing but it's best if you can go in December when the old city is full of Tibetan pilgrims from the countryside and not tourists. In the summer the city is crowded with traffic and tourists (99% Chinese). Temples and monasteries around have been reconstructed (to be cynical this is more for the benefit tourist $$ than Tibetan Buddhists). You can see some original art work in the Gyantse Kumbum and in temples outside Shigatse (Zhalu and Jonang).
But for the best air quality and a more relaxed Tibetan Buddhist experience, visit Bhutan (or the grasslands and mountain areas of Kham and Amdo) instead of either Nepal or central Tibet.

i dont think it is much safe airplane in nepal, cos they use many old planes fly to tibet, you better choose take the bus

We're in Nepal now. I thought there was a lot of pollution in the Kathmandu area, and we say many, many people with protective masks. Outside of the capital it is much better.
However, my husband did start using his super strength allergy medicine shortly after we got to Nepal. I do not know if it is the pollution or the fact that it is spring here, and he typically has the worst time at home with the spring pollens.

Service Lines, Integration, and Population Health
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
"The quality and the financial pieces are very hospital-centric," she says, "because that is what hospitals are used to focusing on. We think that the industry has to become different by offering different access points—meaning convenience—and providing service that is second to none. At Centura, we are working to have all four—cost, outcome effectiveness, service, and convenience—at a high level."
Physician alignment and matters of leadership
Achieving alignment with physicians is critical for success, but presents challenges, survey respondents report. Alignment with specialty physicians is included as a top challenge to service line adoption or expansion by 66% of respondents, and is called a critical success factor by 61%.
According to Nicholson, "You want to work with your providers to have them help drive toward the best clinical pathways. How do we coordinate care? How do we make sure we are transitioning correctly? The key is that you have the right specialists that the primary care wants to use. You can hire physicians for alignment, but you must also make sure to partner with the full continuum of primary care specialists and agree on how you are going to work together and build together, trying to optimize healthcare value."
For the majority of respondents (56%), service lines are administration-led, although that structure is more common in hospitals (62%) than health systems (46%). Only 22% of respondents report that dyads lead their service lines, a number that seems bound to increase.
Says Allison Rogers, vice president of strategic planning for Mountain States Health Alliance, a not-for-profit health system based in Johnson City, Tenn., that operates 13 hospitals in four states, "You've got to have the outcomes, but you've also got to keep your eye on costs, so you are really going to need a management team that can focus on both of those perspectives. I think just having administration-led service lines only leads to challenges in getting physician buy-in and physician engagement. With physician leadership only, you may achieve quality, but at what cost? I would anticipate dyad-led going up over time."

Let's run down the list of why Medicaid should not be expanded in Virginia:
1. The $1 trillion and growing program known as Obamacare was meant to provide coverage to everyone. Medicaid expansion should be a moot point.
2. The government does not know exactly how many people would join the Medicaid rolls, thereby increasing the cost. History has shown that the cost is always greater than what is sold to the public.
3. There are already a myriad of organizations that assist the poor with medical attention.
4. Anyone can go to the emergency room and receive attention.
5. The focus should be on lifting people out of poverty. Providing Medicaid has not empowered the poor and moved them out of poverty.
6. Government reimbursement rates are decreasing. You will pick up the tab.
7. Virginia recently dropped from fifth to 11th in terms of job creation due to taxes. If you want to help people, let them keep more of their hard-earned money.
8. We cannot trust the government to provide the promised levels of funding considering the fiscal state of our country.
9. Beware when politicians tout a number of people to be helped but offer no price tag projection.
10. The majority of jobs created in the "recovery" are low paying. How much will they be hurt by incurring an additional cost?
11. Where has it been stated what expansion means? Expanded from what to what? What are these people doing today for coverage? Why were they not part of Medicaid yesterday? This is expansion just to expand.
12. Aren't reasons 1 through 11 enough?

This is a terrible table. The Duplo blocks don't work on it which was the entire reason we bought it. Not sure if smaller legos would be okay. You can get one or two on the base but if you try and add one another next it they pop off which is very frustrating for a 2 year old. I also should have realized the sliding tops wouldn't be great. You basically can't have it up against a wall if you want your little one to be able to get the things inside the bin. Total junk. very disappointing.

WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE IT BACK? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King—who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer—takes readers on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it. It begins with Jake Epping, a thirty-five-year-old English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching GED classes. He asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one essay blows him away—a gruesome, harrowing story about the night more than fifty years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life—like Harry's, like America's in 1963—turning on a dime. Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake's new life as George Amberson, in a different world of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of big American cars and sock hops and cigarette smoke everywhere. From the dank little city of Derry, Maine (where there's Dunning business to conduct), to the warmhearted small town of Jodie, Texas, where Jake falls dangerously in love, every turn is leading eventually, of course, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, where the past becomes heart-stoppingly suspenseful, and where history might not be history anymore. Time-travel has never been so believable. Or so terrifying. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

A very happy 50th birthday to the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge! Ten facts you may not know about the bridge's origins
The new span in 1964, photographed by the Wurts Brothers (MCNY)
The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge -- the first land crossing between Staten Island and the rest of New York City -- officially opened for traffic fifty years ago today. It is one of America's greatest bridges and a graceful monumental presence in New York Harbor. Below is a list of ten things you may not have known about the bridge. In addition, I'm also including our podcast on the bridge's history via SoundCloud. (You can also download it from iTunes -- it's episode #119 -- or from here.)
1) The Tunnel to Staten Island
People have been dreaming of spanning the Narrows for several decades before the bridge was finally constructed. In New York's subway fervor of the early 1920s, Mayor John Hylan authorized a tunnel be built to connect Staten Island to Brooklyn, ostensibly to link it to the city's expanding subway network. Due to massive cost, however, the project was cancelled. For many years, the remnants of the aborted tunnels on either side of the Narrows were referred to as "Hylan's Holes."
2) Verrazzano-on-Hudson
Giovanni da Verrazzano, who explored the shores of the North American continent in 1524, might have lent his name to the bridge which became the George Washington Bridge, a few decades before the Narrows Bridge was completed. The suggestion was made by a Newark resident and was at least passingly considered that the New York Times ran an article about it: "WOULD NAME NEW SPAN VERRAZANO BRIDGE." The article casts aspersions upon the notion that the explorer would ever be seriously considered enough to warrant his own bridge.
3) What's In A Name? Tanto!
The Florentine explorer had much symbolic value to Italian New Yorkers, and in 1960, the Italian Historical Society of America managed to convince Governor Nelson Rockefeller to apply the name to the brand new bridge about to go under construction.
Some were not pleased with what many considered mere political appeasement. "I wouldn't be surprised if the next move is to rename the Hudson River," grumbled the vice president of the Staten Island chamber of commerce. [source] Gripes over the name continued well up to its opening and beyond. A couple weeks before its opening, one naysayer wrote the Times to propose alternate names: "Let's call it Freedom Gate or Liberty Gate." [source]
4) Spell Check
Even then, there was some debate about the proper spelling of the explorer's last name -- Verrazzano or Verrazano. (There was even a small, if vocal, group for Verazzano.) Official construction signs did say Verrazzano, in keeping with the traditional Italian spelling. However, despite strong support for the double Z version, the shorter spelling eventually won out.
5) The Grand Builders
Although this would be one of the final great projects overseen by Robert Moses, it's also the final project of New York's great bridge and tunnel builder Ottmar Ammann. He died on September 22, 1965, less than a year after the bridge's opening.
Milton Brumer is sometimes overshadowed by those two great icons of city building, but the chief engineer of the Verrazano-Narrows had worked with Ammann on almost every one of his projects and was probably more involved in the day-to-day operations than his boss. In total, there were 200 engineers employed on building the bridge, on top of the hundreds of construction workers employed to bridge the Narrows.

6) Curvature of the Earth
When it opened on November 21, 1962, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world, so long, in fact, that bridge engineers had to take the curvature of the planet into account in its design. As a result the tops of the towers are slightly farther apart than the bases. Or to put it another way, if the Narrows were drained, the towers would appear to slightly lean away from each other.
7) A Big Boy, and Loud Too
The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge weighs 1,265,000 tons -- the longest suspension bridge in the world at its completion, surpassing the Golden Gate Bridge -- but was not the most welcomed neighbor to the areas of Bay Ridge and western Staten Island when ground was broken in August 1959. Many residents railed against its necessity, the displacement of businesses, even the constant noise assault. "That bridge -- who needs it?" [source] Once construction began, however, many business owners benefited from the influx of hundreds of workers entering the area.
Three workers were killed during the construction of the bridge, including young Gerard McKee who fell to his death in an accident which could have been prevented. His death sparked an improvement in safety procedures at the bridge. He's memorably commemorated by Gay Talese, who closely documented the construction of the span in his classic book The Bridge.
8) Goodbye Fort Lafayette
In building the Brooklyn anchorage, crews swept away the remainder of old Fort Lafayette, an entrenchment built during the War of 1812. During the Civil War, Confederates were held prisoner here, including Robert Cobb Kennedy, who attempted to burn down New York during the Great Conspiracy of 1864. During the two World Wars, it held reserve ammunition. Moses personally fought an effort to turn the fort into a night club and now had a hand in dismantling it entirely.
Not only was the fort destroyed, the entire island on which it sat was virtually erased. In addition, areas near Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth were cleared away to make way for the bridge's approaches. Perhaps to nobody's surprise, the construction company tasked with clearing away the old fort employed the son-in-law of Robert Moses.
9) First Class Reception
The U.S. government did something a little different to honor the opening of the bridge -- it issued a postage stamp featuring the bridge, to be sold on opening day. For its 50 year anniversary this year, the Postal Service replicated the honor with an anniversary stamp. The original stamp was for five cents. The commemorative stamp is for $5.60 priority mail. (Times change.)
10) Opening Day, First Traffic Jam
The opening of the bridge not only brought great pride to New York City, although a small number of protesters noted that the span did not have pedestrian walkways or bike paths (and it still doesn't). Among the dignitaries as the ribbon cutting ceremony were Governor Rockefeller, the Archbishop of New York Cardinal Spellman, Robert Moses and Mayor Robert Wagner. They were all transported over the bridge in a somber 52-limousine procession. The press of vehicles was poorly handled for it resulted in "a traffic jam ... a half-mile beyond the point where the ribbon-cutting ceremony had been held."
The first 'regular' toll-paying person over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was a carload of young men in rented tuxedos (pictured above), "driving a pale blue Cadillac convertible with flags flapping from the fenders," who had parked behind the toll gate for an entire week to earn the special privilege."

Lovely photos of the horrible New York garbage strike of 1911
New York street cleaners and garbage workers (sometimes referred to as 'ashcart men') went on strike on November 8, 1911, over 2,000 men walking off their jobs in protest over staffing and work conditions.
More importantly, that April, the city relegated garbage pickup to nighttime shifts only, and cleaners often worked solo. This may have been acceptable in warmer weather, but winter was approaching. At a union rally that evening, a union representative proclaimed, "A 200-pound can was a mighty big load for one man to lift into a garbage wagon ....... [Our] men are already falling ill with pneumonia and rheumatism and ... they demanded the right to work in the sunlight and the warmer weather of the daytime."
In total, almost over 2,000 workers left their jobs in retaliation, "because they didn't like to work in the dark," said the New York Sun, derisively. [source]
By Nov. 11, garbage was heaped along street corners, and coal ash swirled into the street, creating a blackened, smelly stew along the cobblestones. The city brought in temporary workers to carry off the more egregious piles of filth away, but harangues and violence by union protesters --"mobs assaulting and stoning drivers" -- required they be protected by police.
New Yorkers had lived through such a strike before, as recently as 1907, but strikers found little public support this time around. Newspapers, little sympathetic to the strikers, highlighted the growing threat of disease and the perceived selfishness of the workers. "The right to strike of public employees, who enjoy the advantage of being listed in the civil service, is more than doubtful," said the New York Times.
During bouts between strikebreakers and police, over two dozen people were injured and one man was even killed by a falling chimney. Meanwhile, Mayor William Jay Gaynor was resolute in rejecting the cleaners demands. The efforts of the workers failed, and many went back to their jobs the next week, some heavily penalized for their participation in the strike.
Here are a few images from those foul-smelling days. These photographs are far more pleasant to look at than they must have been to shoot!

Meanwhile, a boiler company took advantage of the strike to run this grim advertisement for their garbage burners in the New York Sun.

More signs of 'A Most Violent Year': New movie tie-in column
Looking over the East River at Brooklyn and Queens, 1981, where much of the film's action takes place. (Photo courtesy GeorgeLouis at English Wikipedia)
A few weeks ago I posted the trailer to the new film by JC Chandor called A Most Violent Year, set in New York City in 1981.
As support for the film (which releases in late December), they've asked me to do a few columns each Monday about New York City history for the film's tie-in site about the year 1981. The year is a turning point in the city's struggle with crime, deteriorating infrastructure and urban decay. It's the year The Clash caused a riot in midtown, the year the New York Times first reported on a "rare cancer" killing gay men, the year Ed Koch ran both as a Democrat and a Republican. Robbery and murder rates in the city would reach their highest peak. But it would also be the year where things begin turning around in New York.
My first column is on a particular incident which occurred two minutes before midnight on December 31, 1980, and how that incident reflected upon the grim state of affairs in the city. Check out the full story here.

Ruins of the World's Fair: The New York State Pavilion, or how Philip Johnson's futuristic architecture was almost forgotten
PODCAST The ruins of the New York State Pavilion, highlight of the 1964-65 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, have become a kind of unofficial Statue of Liberty of Queens, greeting people as they head to and from LaGuardia and JFK airports. Its abandoned saucer-like observation decks and steel arena have inspired generations of New Yorkers who have grown up with this oddity on the horizon.
For the first part of this very special episode of the Bowery Boys, I take you through the pavilion's presence in the World's Fair, a kaleidoscopic attraction that extolled the greatness of the state of New York. In its first year, however, a battle over controversial artwork was waged, pitting Robert Moses and Nelson Rockefeller against the hottest artist of the day -- Andy Warhol. Other controversies at the Fair threatened to derail the message behind its slogan 'Peace Through Understanding'.
In the show's second half, I head out to record at the Queens Theater -- the only part of the New York State Pavilion that's been rehabilitated -- to explore the venue's 'lonely years' with filmmaker Matthew Silva, a co-founder of People For The Pavilion, an organization that's successfully bringing attention to this weird little treasure. Matthew gives us the scoop of the pavilion's later years, culled from some of his interviews in the film Modern Ruin: A World's Fair Pavilion.
This is crucial time in the history of this spectacular relic. With public attention at an all time high, we may now be at the right time to re-purpose the Pavilion into a new destination for New Yorkers. What do you think should be done with the New York State Pavilion?

And for a different (fictional) film take on the Pavilion, try out these appearances from The Wiz, Men In Black and Iron Man 2:
And thank you to commenter Signed D.C. who points out that the venue was featured in an music video by They Might Be Giants who, generally speaking, who a bit obsessed with the World's Fair. (It pops up in several of their songs, including a lyric to their song "Ana Ng.") At one point, the lead singer floats over the Texaco map.

The Federal Pavilion -- "the square donut on stilts" -- was designed by Charles Luckman, who also designed the current Madison Square Garden.
The photographer Marco Catini has taken some recent images of the Pavilion. You can find much more of his work here. Thanks Marco for letting me use your work here!
Here are a few of my photos taken on the afternoon of recording. The New York State Pavilion Paint Project is responsible for keeping the place is festive shape. The candy stripes are similar to the look of the 1964 pavilion.
MY THANKS AND GRATITUDE to the Queens Theatre in The Park for allowing us to record in the cabaret room! I know we went on and on about the observation desks and the Tent of Tomorrow, but you should really check out a show within the greatly renovated theater. Coming in December: Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol!
Visit the People For The Pavilion website for more information on upcoming events, news and fund-raisers. And a shout-out to the organization's co-founder Salmaan Khan!
The New York Daily News just yesterday published an article about People For the Pavilion and its co-founder Christian Doran who passed away in February. There's a fund-raiser tomorrow in his honor. [More info here]
ALSO: I didn't get to plug this on the show, but historian Christian Kellberg has just released a book of photography of the New York State Pavilion, part of the Images of America series. Most of the pictures are exclusive to this book including some extraordinary shots of the pavilion construction.
And of course there's Joseph Tirella's terrific book Tomorrow-Land: The 1964-65 World's Fair and the Transformation of America, putting the entire fair within context of the rapidly changing America of the 1960s.
And since I mentioned it on the show, here's a link for Robert Caro's The Power Broker as well!

Robert Moses rejected this terrifying Margaret Keane painting from hanging at the 1964-65 World's Fair
The World's Fair of 1964-65 at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park was a major American event forward-looking in its intent and, in many ways, backwards in its practice. In particular, Robert Moses did not care for cheap carnival amusements, nor did he care for music or art that was particular edgy or controversial. Moses' tastes ruled supreme over the Fair as he held veto power over any works that were in "extreme bad taste or low standard."
There was no pavilion dedicated to art although several independent partners funded their own art displays. The New York State Pavilion presented the work of brand-new pop artists; an objectionable piece by Andy Warhol entitled Thirteen Wanted Men was eventually painted over (although it was the governor Nelson Rockefeller who objected in this case).
Moses did eventually throw out one surprising piece of artwork -- Tomorrow Forever by Margaret Keane.
The Keane painting was to have been displayed in this building at the fair.**
Keane was known for her bizarre and haunting images of children and animals with large empty eyes. During the 1960s, her husband Walter Keane claimed to be the creator of her paintings. It was he who was announced as the painter of this macabre work, chosen in February 1964 to grace the Fair's Hall of Education. The venue devoted to the future of schools would feature a scale model of an elementary school from the year 2000, a playground with "futuristic climbing structures," and from the entrance way, the terrifying painting you see above.
The New York Times' art critic John Canaday could barely conceal his disgust at this "grotesque announcement," adding, "Mr. Keane is the painter who enjoys international celebration for grinding out formula pictures of wide‐eyed children of such appalling sentimentality that his product has become synonymous among critics with the very definition of tasteless hack work." [source]
To be fair, Canaday had only seen a photograph of the painting, which depicts an endless sea of soul-crushing zombie children, rising out of a morose and barren wasteland. "That's true," he confessed to a Life Magazine reporter. "It's normally a principle of mine never to judge just by a photograph, but in this case it didn't matter."
Moses seemed to agree with Canaday, demanding the Hall of Education cancel the planned installation before it was even mounted. Thanks to Canaday's protest, Moses' office was inundated with letters from angry intellectuals and aesthetes. "[T]he perpetrators of this art burlesque," wrote Joseph James Akston, "expose us to veritable scandal sure to incur ridicule and laughter of the whole civilized world with possible exception of Russians." [source]
Keane, who of course didn't paint the artwork attributed to him, nonetheless seemed to revel in the critical potshots. The following year, he issued a press releases from San Francisco and Tahiti, declaring himself "the American Gauguin." Canaday would continue to take aim at Keane's kitschy work. Imagine how Canaday felt when he discovered that Walter hadn't even painted the works he so deliciously despised?
Margaret eventually left her husband and sued for rightful ownership of her artwork.
Below: From a Life Magazine profile in August 1965:
NOTE: I'm being a little irreverent in calling the painting "terrifying" as the artist clearly intended the subjects to be starving, sad children. However, the passage of time has been a little strange to Keane's legacy. She is perhaps more beloved than ever -- there's a new Tim Burton film coming out this year -- but the flagrant sentimentality of the work has given way to their spectacular kitsch value.

On this Veteran's Day, a salute to the Harlem Hellfighters!
New York's 369th Infantry Regiment was America's first African-American regiment engaged in World War I. While many white American soldiers would have been happy to serve next to trained regiments of any color, intense racial prejudice in the United States forced many who signed up to fight for their country to instead be assigned to the French army.
They returned to New York in February 1919 and marched through the streets of Manhattan on February 17 -- from Greenwich Village to Harlem, in triumph.
From the New York Times the following day:
"New York's negro soldiers, bringing with them from France one of the bravest records achieved by any organization in the war, marched amidst waving flags and cheering crowds yesterday from Twenty-third Street and Fifth Avenue to 145th Street and Lenox Avenue."
"At Thirty-Fourth Street the men marched under a shower of cigarettes and candy, and such tokens were pitched at them at other points in the line, but the files did not waver for an instant."
The men of the 369th photographed as they arrive back in New York City, 1919
From original caption (courtesy US National Archies): "[The] 369th New York City Infantry (old 15th) [African American] troops and some of the 370th Infantry, Illinois [African American] troops, one of the most decorated regiments in the United States Army return to New York City. They saw [the] longest service of any American regiment as part of a foreign army, and had less training than any before going into action. They were never in an American division or brigade always being with the French."

Man With 132-Pound Scrotum Lands TLC Seriesby Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Congratulations, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
You are now the second most nauseating series on TLC.
TLC has given the green light to a special titled The Man With the 132 lb. Scrotum. It will center around Wesley Warren Jr., a 49-year old Las Vegas resident… with a 132-pound scrotum.
Hey, at least you can't pretend you didn't know what you were signing up for!
Warren suffers from s condition known as "scrotal lymphedema," which makes simple tasks such as walking, cooking and going to the bathroom far more challenging for him than they are for most.
This one-hour program airs Monday, August 19.
Here is the official TLC synopsis:
The Man With the 132 lb. Scrotum, which highlights the difficulties of living with this bizarre situation, also reveals Wes's many attempts to find appropriate medical care and raise money for the surgery he desperately needs.
Will you be tuning in?
United and Delta also elevated fares later on the day, with United climbing roundtrip price levels $20 to $40 and Delta growing fares $20 to $30.

Tim Stauffer and Tyson Ross mixed for 7 remarkable innings in reduction of Richard. Stauffer (10) relieved Richard and earned his number one gain given that Sept. 16, 2011, by letting a person run in four innings. Ross followed that with three shutout innings.

Shame on the comedians for making a big joke of this . . . I used to have more belief in human kind
I feel very sorry for this man, good to see him not suffer with all that weight in such an area of the body.
I pray this guy gets help but shame on TLC. There is no reason this needs to be tv. Don't we have taste anymore?
Some of the comments on this site is soooooo sad. What happen to have compassion for another human being. I pray he get the help he need so he can have a normal life.
What is so disgusting? The man is sick!!!!! OMG What should he do put a gun to his head?????? You people would rather watch some rich person fight over which purse to buy than see a man figure out how to get money to live a normal life:(
This is disgusting! Not only on TLC's part, but on his part too! The things people will do to make a buck!! Disgusting!!!!
No, what is disgusting is people like you and your comments.This is why God says vengeance belongith to me.Because if I had the power he knows exactly what I would do with you.First,you don't know the first thing about this man.You have no idea what living hell this man has had to go through.I would not imagine someone like you would even begin to think what embarrassment,humilitation,ben made fun of by idiotes like you.And those of you who run your big blab mouths about something you know nothing about and stop the contributions from coming in.There's nothing that could be worse than to be in a condition as this man has and he has to go on tv in order for him to be able to get any help.Would you want to do it?No I didn't think so.It was either that or die.What would you do?I'll just bet your sitting there mumbling to me just exactly what you would do different.And did you hear the doctor say he was going to do the surgery free.The man has no insurance.Do you have any idea what that is like?It's people like you that has probably had everything handed to them all their life that has no idea what desperation is like.No God would not let me have vengeance because you know what I would do to people like you and your big blab mouth and all the others who caused this man the problems he had with the first contributations running their big blab mouths,?I would make sure you had a 132 lb scroutom and put you exactly in the same shoes this man has had to walk in,but I would make sure you and all the others would never find a doctor kind enough to do the surgery free.I would make sure before anything would be done you would have to have every penny to pay for every service you received.Now just how long do you think it would take for you to be able to put that kind of money together drawing disability..Is there anything else you or any of the other idiotes that made fun or critized this man would like to say?And what is such a shame is that as rich as this country is,it is sinful that anyone would have to beg for help and put himself on display in order to get the medical help he so desperately needed.No I don't think the gov or anyone else should have to take care of this man because all he was wanting was the help so he could get well and take care of himself.But if you have not learned yet,we all need some kind of help in one way or another sometimes during life.People just don't go through life and not have some kind of serious problems in one way or another.Thank God for the doctor that did help him.That doctor has helped many people before this man because I have seen him on other programs.I pray God's blessings be on him and I'm sure they are.Its really a shame there are not more people in the world like him.That's what's wrong with the world today.There are to many self absorbed people in the world today.The only thing they think about is me,me,me,.I have lived in the greatest time period I believe ever has been.I was born in 1952.Every person that was born from 1948 until now has been especially chosen to live in this time period.I can hardly believe how things have changed so much in just 60 yrs.People use to care about other people.They use to care about their neighbor.And most of all growing up everybody LOVED GOD and raised their children to know The one and only God and what was expected of you..People have done every thing they can to kick God totally out of the United States and have managed almost to do it.And at the same time The harder they kick the closer this great nation falls a little bit closer to falling flat on its sinful face and collapsing.If you don't think so,Where is our great government sitting at tonight.

'Pirates': Not shipshape
Aside from a couple of stirring old-school pirate battles and that same mugging monkey, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is dismally, deathly dull.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
Starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Bill Nighy. Written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. Directed by Gore Verbinski. 168 minutes. At major theatres. PG
Ever been to sea, Billy?
I mean really out to sea, on the actual ocean, as opposed to the shallow animatronics approximation that is the basis of the lucrative Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise – now hopefully (but by no means certainly) concluding with a third instalment, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which jumps the gun (even as it walks the plank) with across-the-continent public showings tonight in advance of tomorrow's "opening."
Oh, how we scoffed back in 2003 at the very notion of a feature film based on a creaky old theme-park attraction – wasn't that supposed to work the other way around?
Not this time, anyway, thanks to the courageous comedic commitment of two actor's actors, Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, a digitally desiccated horde of boneyard buccaneers (and their undead monkey mascot) and perhaps somewhat also to the doe-eyed charms of chemistry-challenged love interests Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.
The original Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, was a well-deserved and largely unexpected hit. The second, Dead Man's Chest, while sporadically entertaining, was a confused and overlong mish-mash. The third, At World's End, shot immediately thereafter, is even longer – a butt-barnacling 2 hours and 48 minutes – and even more confusing.
Worse yet, aside from a couple of stirring old-school pirate battles and that same mugging monkey, the movie is dismally, deathly dull.
Which brings us back to that real-life ocean voyage, the best metaphor I can come up with for the essential arc of the entire Pirates trilogy (again, we can only hope – there is reason to suspect otherwise).
Like an actual ocean voyage, the first leg of the Pirates trip was a giddy, somewhat disorienting experience, heightened by our anticipatory excitement and the thrill of the unknown.
Then came the middle part, through becalmed, deeper, murkier waters, which initially made you feel a bit queasy, then flattened out into an endless, featureless vista of not very much of anything at all.
The second movie tossed the old horde overboard to make room for new decaying pirates made of bits and pieces of fish and ships.
It also gave us a new actor's actor, the usually admirably understated Bill Nighy, managing to emote even through layers of wriggling digital tentacles as the doomed Davy Jones. And there was still Depp, and his undeniably entertaining prancing sot of a sea captain.
And now we find ourselves nearing the end of our voyage, increasingly bored and listless and anxious to get the hell off this damned boat, feeling all parched and dehydrated inside, and sodden and damp and mildewed outside in places that are very hard to reach.
It's not all bad. This time out, we get Nighy (his squidly tentacles even more agitated), Rush (no longer quite dead) and Depp, which almost makes up for the fact that the writers, having so ridiculously padded out Dead Man's Chest, suddenly have no idea whatsoever to do with the two attractive young people, let alone the other new characters they have introduced.
And that includes the wasted and pointless Keith Richards cameo you've heard so much about (hidden behind a prosthetic nose large enough for him to have inhaled his father before he was cremated).
Their combined efforts notwithstanding, the movie is relentlessly dense and unfathomable; Depp, the heart and soul of the series, doesn't even show up till several reels in (and then, ad nauseum) and would now seem to be in another movie entirely, his reeling, riotous Capt. Jack now sadly somehow out of his depth (or rather, Depp-th).
This is not your father's pirate movie. Hard to believe it's even Uncle Walt's. The film opens with the public hanging of a scruffy young singing street urchin with the face and voice of an angel, sentenced to die just for consorting with pirate types.
Now you tell me, what kid in his right mind is ever going to want to get on that Disneyland Pirates ride with this image burned into his impressionable young brain?
