Huge glass pavilion set to transform London's Southbank Centre (but where will the famous skateboarders go?)
- A £120 million transformation of cultural venue has been announced
- The building will be closed for three years while work takes place
It is one of London's cultural centres, attracting millions of visitors performers and artists every year.
But despite its popularity, London's Southbank Centre, with its harsh-looking concrete buildings, is ever so slightly dated.
But that is all about to change after a radical £120 million transformation was announced today.
Radical: A £120 million transformation of London's Southbank Centre was announced today. This is an artist's impression of the plans
Plans: The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Hayward Gallery are to be re-named the Festival Wing and closed for up to three years while renovation work takes place
The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Hayward Gallery are to be re-named the Festival Wing and closed for up to three years while renovation work takes place.
The project will see a new glass pavilion on top of the centre.
Following completion of the ambitious project, there will be a new space for performances, exhibitions and socialising.
The new space will be carved out of reclaimed and forgotten corridors and plant works on the 21-acre site.
However, there will be concerns over where the skateboarders who are seen practicing daily at the site will go. The plans include more shops and
restaurants being developed at ground level.
Those behind the project have said the skateboarders and graffiti artists will be offered an alternative home, although further details of this are not yet known.
Improvements: Following completion of the ambitious project, there will be a new space for performances, exhibitions and socialising. The Royal Festival Hall is pictured
Moving: The Southbank is popular with skateboarders and graffiti artists. Under the plans, a new location will be found for them
Speaking to the Evening Standard, Jude Kelly, the Southbank Centre's
artistic director, said she wanted to turn the Festival Wing from a
neglected 'Cinderella space' into a third pavilion between the National
Theatre and the Royal Festival Hall.
She said the site was 'tired and
under-nourished' but there was a swell of support to capitalise on the
buzz that followed the Festival Hall re-development. 'It would be
unforgivable if we didn't seize the moment. London deserves for the site
not to carry on being neglected.
Changes: There will be concerns over where the skateboarders who are seen practicing daily at the site will go
'We're going to raise the money because to just refurbish would leave another generation of people having to pick up the baton for the changes that need to be made,' she said.
The project will bring the Sixties buildings up to the standard of the slightly older Royal Festival Hall which underwent a renovation at similar cost six years ago.
The aim is to make a world-class cultural centre fit for the 21st century and more capable of welcoming the 25 million who now pour into the South Bank every year, including eight million attending events.
The QEH and gallery will be united with a new glazed foyer on the roof of which will 'float' the glass pavilion designed to achieve the first-class acoustics that critics claim the Festival Hall lacks.
The overhaul will also include new roof gardens, undercroft venues for gigs and cabaret and a building alongside Waterloo Bridge — echoing the offices and restaurants on the neighbouring Hungerford Bridge — which will house a new national literature centre and the poetry library.
The plans, by architect Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, will go out for consultation with the aim of seeking planning permission in late spring and starting work in the autumn of next year. The vision has broad cross-party support from Boris Johnson, Kate Hoey, Labour MP for Vauxhall, and councillors.
The Southbank Centre has secured £20 million support from the Arts Council for the upgrading of the auditoria and to address problems such as poor access and backstage areas.
The Southbank Centre comprises a number of venues for the performing arts.
Its name comes from its location on the South Bank of the River Thames, close to Westminster.
Its three main buildings are the Royal Festival Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Hayward Gallery.
Bleak: This picture shows the Hayward Gallery shortly after its opening in 1968
However, despite being Europe's largest centre for the arts, the location is now looking tired and dated.
With the majority of the centre having being built in the 60s, it looks harsh and bleak.
The history of the centre began with the Festival of Britain held in 1951 - the Royal Festival Hall is the only surviving building from the event.
During the early years of the 60s, the Royal Festival hall was extended towards the river and Waterloo station.
In 1967, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the linked Purcell Room opened to the public. The following year, the Hayward Gallery opened.
But with the buildings very much representing the architecture of the 60s, a revamp is much needed.

It was only a 10-minute walk from the train station (Interlaken West) . The reception was very friendly and attentive. Lift was provided despite the very old age of the hotel (1890); so it was very convenient to carry our luggage and baby stroller. Our room has a verandah and the view from there was superb. But I noticed that not all rooms had verandah. Breakfast was good and the staff pre-arranged your seating. For an expensive tourist city, this hotel would be considered as affordable with good value.

We had a wonderful stay at the Harder-Minerva. The breakfast was mainly bread, cheese and coffee, but it was ample and excellent!!! Our room was quite spacious (by European standards), plenty of room for 2 adults and a large dog with room to move about. We had a double bed with washbasin and a shared shower/toilet. The only drawback was the noise until 2am-we had to keep the window open because it was quite warm. Next time we'll bring a fan with us. We will definitely be staying here again next year!

I liked very much the hotel. The hotel does not have a particular car parking, but it is cheap and easy to park the car very near the hotel and in all the city in a general way. The location of the hotel is very good. And Interlaken is a "must see" small city, with a lot of activities to do in the city and visities to do, like the Jungfraujoch and others. People at the hotel was very friendly.

Good hotel right in the centre of Interlaken, I made the mistake of booking trains to/from Interlaken OST when Interlaken West would have been better.

A level walk from the Interlaken West station, and on a side street. The elevator only goes to the 3rd floor, so if you´re on the 4th you have to lug your baggage up the extra flight. A nice clean room with space to put luggage out of the way. Only gripe were the bed lights, which were hanging by the cord or taped into place and could´t be directed properly. Breakfast quite basic, but decent coffee.

Well, I bit the bullet and installed it - felt a bit selfish announcing that I was waiting for someone else to take risks on my behalf! Anyway, am posting this from IE7 and have two tabs open. Pleasant, but hardly earth shattering. I haven't used it much other than to post this note, so am not in a position to give a considered review yet. My first impression, though, is that the menus and toolbars are a dog's breakfast... I had RC1 installed and find this much more frustrating.
I WILL say this, though, I had a helluva time installing it. I had to turn off my firewall and antispyware AND I had to run the installer from C: drive - running it from F:, which is where My Documents reside, and with anti-spyware and firewall enabled crashed my computer three times.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
You've got to accent-uate the positive
I was having a business conversation with a woman I did not know from Eve recently. We had been talking for a few minutes when she said: "I love the sound of your voice and could listen to you all day."
I like to think it was the content of my conversation of which she was enamoured. But I know from long experience that often it is not what I say that people hear, but rather how I say it.
I immigrated to Canada at age 26 from Scotland in 1986 and have now lived an equal amount of time in both countries. What brought me to Canada was a job offer. I never had to struggle to find the elusive job without English proficiency. I quickly was made aware that I have a Scottish accent and frequently was told to "say that again" or asked "what did you say?"
As time passes, you either realize it is best to slow down your pace of speech or live with puzzled comments and blank looks.
Being understood in a different country takes effort. Those who have come from countries where English is not spoken have my sympathy and respect for how hard they must work and think just to make everyday tasks possible.
Thankfully, I came from a country where the mother tongue is English, although given the great range of accents in the U.K., some might dispute that.
When I was a teenager, for example, the BBC was interviewing a fisherman on a pier in Aberdeen, where North Sea oil was to be piped. To everyone in Scotland's amusement, when the fisherman started talking, subtitles came up on the screen.
It was clear to us that he was speaking English, but obviously the BBC thought otherwise. We thought the English must be slow if they could not understand the language without subtitles.
There is much more to Scottish accents than the "lilt" or "burr." To a trained ear, or to someone who has lived with accents for a good part of their life, how you say what you say conveys a wealth of information.
For example, there is a distinct Glasgow accent -- think Mike Myers in So I Married an Axe Murderer. Coatbridge, the town I was born and grew up in, is 15 kilometres east of Glasgow, and therefore my accent is different from the Glasgow version that people know well.
Living in Scotland, it is relatively easy to pinpoint, to within 15 kilometres, where someone comes from by their accent. If you say "ye ken" (you know) at the end of a sentence, chances are you're from Kilmarnock.
In 2001, on a trip to Scotland, my daughters and I were walking home when we noticed a wee boy, who was no more than eight years old, throw his wrapper onto the ground.
Doing the right thing, I told him to pick it up.
He basically told me where to get off the bus. As he walked away from us he shouted: "Hey, big man, shut it!"
Now we all burst into laughter, except him. He was serious. What struck us was that having left Scotland, we forget how real and raw it is.
Growing up we spent our summers in Lamlash on the island of Arran. There we played golf every day -- sometimes two rounds -- fished, hill-walked or spent days on the beach forming a dam at the end of a stream.
Great times and friends galore.
What does that have to do with accents? Absolutely nothing. A country does not define a person, nor does an accent, but life within the country does. It is all about memories.
People say Scotland is great. Of course it is. But so is Canada. It is what you make it.
I would say it is positive having a Scottish accent. It has been an icebreaker that has led to great conversations with those who have visited or who would want to visit Scotland.
Although I notice accents here from all over the world, my daughters don't have one that I hear. They were born in Toronto and they both say bagel funny or tomato or garage. Weird!
My sisters live in the U.K. One in Bearsden, near Glasgow, has two children with non-Glasgow accents, and the other has two children in London with London accents. Very funny when we all get together.
My children don't hear my accent, which I find strange. Some of their friends consider the accent cool, which is the only way I will ever hear my grown children actually put dad and cool in the same sentence.
I am a Canadian citizen and I love Scotland and am proud of the country, its accomplishments and so many inventions. But I am also proud of Canada and being a Canadian and will be rooting for Canada during the Olympics.
Ian Scott is a Winnipeg small-business owner.

About this location
The Valenciana region
Middle of Vinalopó and only 20km from Alicante City, Monforte del Cid offers its visitors the chance to enjoy nature in one of the most traditional pilgrims' spots on the Costa Blanca, the hermitage of Saint Pascual Bailón. Different alternatives to rural, residential and golf tourism are emerging vigorously around it. The population of Montforte del Cid is about 5,500 inhabitants. Its situation helps to create an excellent micro climate in order to grow dessert grapes and rural tourism in the future.
In its district there are the remains of ancient civilizations, standing out the Iberian Bull displayed in the museum together with other objects and remains of a big Roman. The medieval old part of the city stands out. It is formed by an ancient Moslem quarter (14th Century), and the Christian area. Both areas have on their facades the tradition of Manises school's religious tile industry, with pieces from 17th to 20th century. The Gothic parish church (15th century), where was christened the famous and wise mathematician born in Monforte Jorge Juan y Santacilia who was a member of the London Royal Society (1713-1773).

The interior of the caves boasts one of the highest vaults in Spain, which looks very similar to a cathedral's. During your visit you can admire the varied and whimsical forms that the rocks have created: candelabra, animals and many other spectacular shapes. On certain occasions the unsurpassed acoustic and atmospheric conditions of the caves are used to provide musical entertainment. Busot also offers its visitors hiking routes to enjoy the natural and unique views over the whole region. And what better to get your strength back than to visit the local cafes and restaurants of Busot offering an exquisite range of cuisine.

The parks species includes; Parrots, Flamingos, Penguins, Turtles, Sea Lions, Seals, Dolphins, Bats, etc.
Algar Falls & Pola Park
It would be difficult to find waterfalls in a beauty spot as un spoilt as this unless they were in some specially protected area. This being the case, it was decided to carry out an extensive program for the preservation of the unique natural setting of the Algar Falls. With a view to reversing damage already done and to guaranteeing the rehabilitation and conservation of the area, all installation work and services are carried out fully respecting the environment. The Algar is a kind of natural water park with authentic swimming pools in which to enjoy the crystal clear waters.

"Beautiful villa, fabulous holiday!"
This a beautiful villa, it has recently been refurbished to a high standard and comfortably accomodated 10 of us; 5 adults and 5 children (2 of which were teenagers). Karen the property manager I have to say went out of her way to offer a great service, way above expectation. We didn't hire a car and although we managed (with lots of help from Karen, chauffeuring us about, delivering bikes, supermarket runs and more) you do really need one - its a long long walk to the shop! Our only disappointment was no wiifii for the teenagers but hey it did them good.
We had a fabulous holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the villa or Karen Grundeken, the property manager.
it is good to hear you had a great time. i will pass on the comment about wi fi. it is something that a lot of holiday makers are asking for as the children do not want to be without it. Hope you to see you all again soon

"Very relaxing"
This was the first time we had booked via this site and i was pleasently surprised at how easy it was. This was helped in dealing with Karen who made the whole process easy. When we arrived karen met us at the airport and took us to the house, speant time showing us around and made us feel welcome. She gave us directions to the nearest supermarkets and explained what we could do locally. The house was a good size and the kids, all 5 of them, enjoyed the pool and the good size rooms. The decor was good, but could do with a little tidying up but nothing to complain about. From the kids point of view a larger TV so they could watch their DVD's would have helped, but again it did not stop them. We would recommend making the house a little more homely and having a 'to do' folder for guests. But this would be being a little picky.
A short trip into Alicante will keep you supplied with all that you need and for those who like to shop or eat out there is a lot to do. The beachs are nice especially if you try the ones just outside Alicante as they tend to be less busy.
We can't thank Karen enough for her support. When we called about a faulty fridge on the first day, she was on the case straight away and had someone around the next day to fix it. She also helped find the daughter's iPod when it was left behind and made sure it was sent back to us after the holiday.
Overall a very nice place to stay and certainly large enough for the eight of us. The whole family enjoyed the experience and had a great 2 weeks
thanks for the positive feed back. The owner has now fully refurbished this villa with new furniture throughout to make it more comfortable and relaxing for you to enjoy a fabulous holiday. I also endevour to make the holiday process as easy as possible for all visitors.

Andrea Fishman | March 23, 2011 | Comments
A look at a few opportunities to begin bridging the gap towards a more comprehensive picture of customer need and intent.
Seeking new ways to enhance predictions of user action and intent, marketers are forging new ground in finding ways to tie together online and offline data to build more comprehensive engagement models. Once, the collection and analysis of online activities and offline interactions were separate pillars of data managed by disparate internal teams – and often done by comparing stacks of reports and spreadsheets with different indicators. However, advances in tracking technologies are offering new opportunities for organizations to develop a more comprehensive view of a user's behavior across multiple touchpoints. The new challenge often lies in establishing new collaborative relationships with offline, non-marketing counterparts within the organization – and then developing programs to optimize across these channels.
A few central opportunities exist to begin bridging the gap towards a more comprehensive picture of customer need and intent:
Call Center Data
With appropriate scripts and planning, the call center can provide deep insight into how the Web is performing as a sales and service channel. From identifying what users are seeking to do online, where they are going, and more specifically, what troubles or roadblocks they encounter on your site, the call center can provide more than just anecdotal feedback, but specific recommendations and direction to improve relevancy. In fact, by using unique "Web-only" phone numbers, call centers are even able to isolate specific pages, microsites, or offers that cause challenges or concern for Web users. This identification is a natural starting point for an optimization and targeting program.
Several things critical to understanding the needs of customers who end up making a call due to challenges with your site:
With this type of insight, marketers can make enhancements to the content and presentation to increase relevancy and optimize onsite conversions.
Offline Sales Insights
For more complex, expensive, and enterprise purchases, the website is just one of many stops along the decision-making path. And although customers may never purchase an item or register in your service portal, the onsite experience still contributes greatly to their research and decision-making process. The key is connecting the onsite experience with the offline sales process. Collaborating with sales to more effectively understand the buying process, and how a user uses information to make decisions, the site can become a more effective, relevant sales tool. Key questions that sales can help answer to fine-tune the site experience include:
Knowing this type of information can greatly inform the sales team for future sales, and can also shape the Web experience. Specific opportunities to increase relevance include:
While the integration of this offline data may be a multi-phase process, and will often require the creation of new reporting streams, having a more unified view of how a customer engages with your brand is definitely a positive step.

As one of the leading self catering resorts in the Lake District, Windermere Marina Village is also one of the leading dog friendly self catering operators too. Location, luxury and the facilities are all perfect for dog owners and their four legged friends.
New for 2015 is the redecoration and refresh of luxury Windward town house number 5. It has undergone redecoration throughout and new coordinating soft furnishings and bed linen. The property sleeps 6 humans and very handily, 2 dogs. As mentioned in a previous post and no doubt as many dog owners have come across, despite the ever growing choice of dog friendly self catering units and serviced accommodation available now, all too often only 1 dog is allowed. The 3 bedroom town house is set over 3 floors and an added bonus for humans and canines is the large, ground floor balcony with views over the marina, nosy dogs will be in their element!
For quick walkies first thing in the morning then either walk around the extensive resort or go next door to the park. The location means an extensive choice of walks can be done without the need for a car or a short drive opens up a huge area of the Lake District National Park.
Across the marina is The Boathouse Bar & Restaurant which is also dog friendly. Dogs are allowed downstairs in the bar and on the terrace.
This self catering property will not disappoint either humans or dogs. For more details visit, https://www.windermeremarinavillage.co.uk/holiday-apartments/windward-apartment-5.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
I loved this tour! It was raining in the morning, but we still had a great time. Our tour guide was fun, upbeat and so knowledgeable! We even made an extra stop at an olive oil mill for tasting. The lavender museum as well as the beautiful towns of St Remy, Gordes, Roussillon, Les Baux and the Roman aqueduct, Pont du Gard, were all fascinating. It couldn't have been more perfect - just the right mixture of free time and guided tour!
We had a very good time. Wish we had more time in Roussillon and Gordes...
Very enjoyable - guide was excellent and very informative .
the day trip was fantastic. The tour guide was very nice, friendly and very informative.
it was such a great memorable day. I really recommend it.
So much of Provence was packed into this sensational tour. Our guide was full of invaluable insights as she drove us from town to town.
We were especially amazed by Pont Du Gard, and also the individual character of each town we visited.
A great way to fit in the wonders of Provence in a short time
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was a perfect day with ample time at the sights visited, a well informed and pleasant tour guide as well as pick up and drop off at our BandB.

Very interesting trip with a good guide in a small group. Well worthwhile
Whirlwind tour! You do and see a lot in one long day. But so worth it! If you are staying in the area for just a couple of nights, then this is the tour for you! Hits all the beautiful sights in the Region!
Excellent tour guide who also allowed some flexibility in times spent at each stop along the way. For those who don't want to rent a vehicle, it is a great way to explore some of Provence.
A great tour, Marie our guide arrived on time ,and was very knowledgeable about not only the towns we visited but the area in general. When there was an unforseen problem getting into one of the sites we were to visit she made some phone calls and found a way to get us in which was much appreciated as it was one of the things we really wanted to see.
Provence does not need much help in being jaw dropping. However, our tour guide, Mary added much to the trip. Charming, knowledgeable, in unfailing good humor and enthusiasm, she made our trip indelible. and her enthusiasm for the region was a joy. Would highly recommend this experience.
Tour quite perfect. Tour guide very good and it was great to have time in each special place visited
The tour was a highlight for us and the day was well planned. Would however have been nice to have more more time in the picturesque villages and perhaps a little less at the lavender museum or an earlier pick up. Vanessa, our guide, was great.
If you only have a day to spend in en Provence this tour would be the best way to see main attractions! Marie our guide was lovely and did her best to answer all our questions. It was an amazing and memorable trip for myself and my partner. 5 stars !:)
Our guide Mary was excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable. It was a long day and we had plenty of time at each of the stops and saw more than we had expected. Would recommend this tour.

Minnesota mom sues air traffic controller over crash that killed her ex-husband and three sons
The mother of three Minnesota boys who died with their father in a horrific 2010 plane crash in western Wyoming is suing a company that provides air traffic control services at the Jackson Hole Airport.
Michelle Bucklin's ex husband, Luke Bucklin, who piloted the doomed plane with the couple's three sons on board, was given clearance to fly despite bad weather and lost control of the aircraft over the Wind River Range.
Mrs Bucklin sued Virginia-based Serco Inc. in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne this week, claiming that the air traffic controller's negligence had caused the crash.
Tragedy: Michelle Bucklin (not pictured) is suing the air traffic control company she says caused the plane crash that killed ex-husband Luke Bucklin (pictured with second wife Ginger) and the couple's three sons in Wyoming in 2010
She brought the suit as personal representative of the estates of her three sons who died in the crash.
Luke Bucklin, 41 of Minneapolis, 14-year-old twins Nate and Nick, and 12-year-old Noah all died when their small plane went down Oct. 25, 2010, in Wyoming's rugged Wind River Range.
Michelle Bucklin was living in Minnesota at the time of the crash, but her lawsuit says she now lives in Arizona.
Luke Bucklin was Michelle Bucklin's ex-husband and had subsequently remarried. He was president and co-founder of the Bloomington, Minn.-based Web development company Sierra Bravo Corp.
What's left: Fremont County sheriff's deputies document the site of the single-engine plane crash in western Wyoming's Wind River Range in November in 2010
Bucklin had flown to Jackson in his single-engine, 1977 Mooney propeller plane to attend a family function. He had tried to book a commercial flight home when a snowstorm hit the area but decided to fly his own plane when the commercial flight was cancelled.
A voice recording of Bucklin's doomed flight shows he was struggling to gain elevation over the extremely rugged Wind River Range in bad weather immediately before the crash.
'Descending rapidly,' Bucklin says on the recording. The Associated Press obtained the recording in 2011 through a Freedom of Information Act request to the Federal Aviation Administration.
'Reporting severe mountain waves,' Bucklin said about a minute later, referring to wind currents over the peaks. 'Probably going to (garble).'
Gone: The terrible accident killed twin 14-year-olds Nick and Nate and their 12-year-old brother Noah (centre) who were traveling from Jackson Hole back to Minnesota with their father in his 1977 Mooney propeller plane despite severe weather reports
Mountaineers found the wreckage of Bucklin's plane and the bodies of the four victims after a weeklong search.
Rock Springs lawyer Frederick J. Harrison represents Michelle Bucklin. He declined comment on Thursday.
The lawsuit states, 'the airplane that Mr. Bucklin was piloting at too low an altitude, as allowed by Serco, was sucked from the sky and violently collided with a mountain.'
Attempts to reach Serco officials for comment at the company headquarters in Reston, Va., were unsuccessful.
Pilot: Luke Bucklin decided to risk the weather after being given clearance and was last heard reporting problems across his radio as the plane went down
The National Transportation Safety Board adopted its report on the cause of Bucklin's accident last October. It states that Bucklin had phoned flight services at the Jackson Hole Airport twice to get weather briefings the day of his flight. Both reports warned of 'mountain obscuration,' turbulence and icing.
The NTSB concluded Bucklin's decision to fly his heavily loaded plane over mountains in snowy weather probably caused the accident.
However, the NTSB also noted that an
air traffic controller had given Bucklin an improper flight clearance,
spelling out a path that would take him over some of Wyoming's highest
mountain peaks at too low an altitude. The agency said that the improper
clearance, and Bucklin's acceptance of it, contributed to the accident.
assigned altitude was lower than and counter to FAA published
requirements for the area in which the pilot was flying,' the report
states, 'but neither the pilot nor the controller questioned the
altitude assignment.'
The NTSB said that Bucklin's plane was at or near its maximum certified weight at takeoff. 'Although the information was available to him, the pilot was either unaware of or discounted the fact that the clearance route that he was issued and accepted required a minimum altitude near the performance limits of the airplane, and that altitude was significantly higher than the altitude he had requested,' the report stated.
Family: Ginger Bucklin (right) reaches for the hands of Mary Ann Bucklin, Luke's mother and the boys' grandmother (seated), and Luke's father Larry Bucklin, (standing) at a press conference following the crash
The report states that Bucklin
appeared intent on returning home that day. 'This self-imposed time
pressure, coupled with his lack of recent (instrument flight rules)
experience, likely resulted in his acceptance of the non-conforming
clearance,' the NTSB concluded.
separate NTSB report released last August stated that Bucklin's private
flight instructor, Walter Nindl, had warned Bucklin about the hazards
of flying in mountainous northwestern Wyoming.
'The (instructor) reported that he specifically cautioned the pilot that since the airplane was not turbocharged or pressurized, and was not equipped for flight into known icing, there was a consequent need for the pilot to plan and operate any flights accordingly, in order to provide sufficient safety margins and escape options,' the NTSB report stated.
Under fire: Michelle Bucklin claims the company that controls air traffic at Jackson Hole Airport was negligent in giving her ex-husband clearance to fly in such bad weather and so low over a mountain range
The report states that Bucklin told the instructor that he had flown into Jackson several times and knew the risks. 'The (instructor) reported that the pilot gave him the impression that the pilot would conduct the upcoming flight in compliance with the (instructor's) suggestions,' it stated.
While the search was still ongoing for Bucklin's missing plane, Ray Bishop, director of the Jackson airport, said Bucklin had taken off while it was snowing heavily. Despite the weather, Bishop said in late October 2010 that the decision to fly was up to the pilot.
'The pilot in command is the pilot in command,' Bishop said. He was not available for comment Thursday on the lawsuit, a receptionist at the airport said.

The former contestant on the first season of Bravo's Top Chef and Top Chef All-Stars is a 2001 CIA graduate.Asprinio told 88 recipients of associate degrees in culinary arts and baking and pastry arts that their CIA degree gives them a huge advantage in a competitive job market."You'll be going into a water gun fight with a bazooka," said Asprinio. "You are members of the most powerful and elite—but not elitist—alumni group in the world. You hold the future of the hospitality business."But with that leg up comes a warning: "Put your head down and work," Asprinio reminded graduates. "Show and lead by example, but not by flaunting."Asprinio, 31, has already accomplished much in his career. He was the youngest person ever to pass the United States Sommelier Association certification exam, at age 19. By 22, he was sommelier at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, then wine director for fellow CIA alumnus Michael Mina at Nob Hill in Las Vegas.His first restaurant, Forté di Asprinio in West Palm Beach, FL, received numerous awards and accolades after its opening in 2008. Asprinio's latest concept, Pizza Vinoteca, launches later this year in New York City and Arlington, VA. His first book is scheduled for publication this year as well.After earning his CIA degree, Asprinio completed his bachelor's degree in hotel administration at Cornell University, and he has served as emcee of the CIA-Cornell Golf Classic that raises scholarship funds for both colleges. He has been named one of the Top 100 Power Players by Florida International magazine for his contributions to the hospitality industry.
