Bulgaria's NEK at Record Loss in 2013
State-owned National Electricity Company (NEK) registered a record loss of BGN 338 M (EUR 169 M) last year, sources in the Ministry of Economy and Energy say.
The latest reports by the Bulgarian daily Trud, which cites the sources, comes after reiterated comments by Economy Minister Dragomir Stoynev that a loss of BGN 500 M (EUR 250 M) was expected at NEK for 2013.
NEK is yet to publish its report for 2013 and Q1 of 2014, claiming it has until end-July for that purpose.
It bases its stance on the Accountancy Act, but other legislation, such as a decree by the Council of Ministers, says that state-owned companies are to hand their reports before April 25.
Over the past few months rumors have circulated that NEK is in a state of technical default and that precisely is financial problems triggered a dispute with electricity distribution companies (EDCs) over hundreds of millions of BGN it is allegedly to receive from them.
The EDCs, the heating utilities and thermal power stations are among those who claim millions from NEK, the debts of which were estimated at BGN 628 M (EUR 314 M) as of April this year.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what was expected
I have had a lot of discomfort with this product due to there being no cusioning on the part of the headphone that rests on my head and the product is made of a very cheap feeling plastic however sound quality is up to standard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up from an audio enthusiast,
Alan J. Young (Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony MDR-ZX100 Outdoor Headband Headphones - Black (Electronics)
I purchased the Sony headphones for watching YouTube and TV etc on my laptop so wasn't expecting much.
I tried them first on my phone and was immediately impressed. However after connecting them to the more powerful output of my laptop the headphones really came to life. They produce a slamming bass when called for and a relaxed treble which makes for easy listening especially on albums like disclosure settle. I then compared them to my sennheiser MX500 in-ear headphones and the difference was like night and day. I've always liked the Sennheiser but to my surprize they sounded awful (no bass, piecing treble)against the cheaper Sony's.
You would have to pay substantially more to get even a marginal improvement in sound quality. The only area that perhaps needs more refinement is the treble which is not quite as sweet as it could be. I owned a website selling Sennheiser and Beyer headphones a couple of years back so I've had the opportunity to listen to many different headphones from �10 to over �200. The Sony's compare to headphones costing closer to �50 so a real bargain.
I simply can't stand ear piecing treble and tinny, thin sound which just ends up being fatiguing. Luckily the Sony's have none of this and instead offer a relaxed sound delivery with a meaty bass and full midrange. This does mean they are not as informative as higher end headphones but it is a good compromise. The MDRZX100B delivers with some short falls however at this price point it would be unfair to expect more!
They are comfortable, light weight, well made and sound superb. For �10 this is ridiculously good value for money. It's worth buying 2 just to have a spare, you never know when the price will go up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing headphones,
This review is from: Sony MDR-ZX100 Outdoor Headband Headphones - Black (Electronics)
These headphones are shockingly good for the price. As a music producer i've began to notice when headphones colour sound, when there is too much bass (a problem with so many cheap headphones) etc but these are almost flat and translate onto my HD650's almost the same, they're obviously not as clear but i've listened to �100 headphones which there is little between them. I honestly can't give any more love for these headphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Value For Money,
I bought these headphones as in ear-ones irritate me. You honestly cannot fault the value for money. Its now a year on and I've noticed they haven't done that awful crackling thing or lost any sound quality. The sound quality is really decent, there are obviously headphones out there that have much better sound quality and noise cancelation but you will pay a lot of money for the privilege. I am currently looking for some with a more luxurious sound to use at home when studying but have no intentions of getting rid of these beauties. The best thing about them is that because they are inexpensive you are not afraid to fling them around, shove them in a bag or go running (they have never fallen off once). I'm not great at looking after things, these headphones have been through a years worth of battering and getting sweaty in the gym and they are still going strong. Great Buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap but brilliant headphones,
These headphones really stand up to a lot of the praise they are getting in the previous reviews listed. When you take them out of the box for the first time and switch on some music you aren't going to get the crisp sound quality that a lot of people praise them for. The so called 'burn in' is an issue for these phones that you need to take this into consideration. On first listen these headphones sound quite veiled (by that I mean that it sounds like the audio is coming through a wall or blanket), and a little bit muddy. However, please do not stop reading because there is a brighter side.
After using these headphones for about 10 days I have noticed a marked improvement in the sound. They sound a lot less veiled and the clarity has definitely increased for sure. The bass, which is a big factor for a lot of people has noticeably fattened up but become a lot more controlled too. Eleven british pounds is not going to get you Bowers and Wilkins quality and anybody who says that you can will eventually be disappointed. Do they give the listener a pleasing experience? Yes, they do that very well.
Build quality is something which had a more sizeable impact on my scoring. The plastic construction of these headphones is a little creaky and noisy which could potentially pose a problem when thinking in terms of longevity. Do I think they are going to fall apart in my hands? No, not in the slightest but I think you have to mindful and take care.
The ear cups of the headphone swivel outwards so the padding faces away from you. This is a nice touch but why they don't go both ways is something of mystery to me. The headband has no padding whatsoever which isn't a problem necessarily but I would advise people with very SHORT HAIR OR BALD PEOPLE to avoid this headphone and get the HD201 Sennheisers which having padding on the headband but are a little more money but similar in sound. It might irritate you if you listen for extended period. I have short hair and I only experienced this irritation once after 3 hours. Ear cups on the other hand are surprisingly pleasing in terms of comfort as long as you take the time to angle the cups so they sit properly on your ears.
The cord is a big selling point or a pain depending on your usage of these headphones. If you want to do anything other than sit at your laptop or walk down the street with your music playing you may experience problems. The cord is 1.2m which isn't a lot if you want to sit on the sofa with the tv on across the room...but I guess you can buy a cheap extender cable. The cable itself is chunkiest I have EVER seen on a pair of headphones and the L-shaped jack at the end of it is something to be very proud of indeed.
I would definitely recommend these headphones to anybody who was looking to buy in this price range. The HD201 by Sennheiser were the headphones that I owned previous to these and they were good, solid well rounded headphones. Unfortunately one ear stopped functioning because of a breakage in the cable at the jack plug end. I don't foresee this problem happening with the SONY MDRZX100W. VERY VERY NICE HEADPHONES.

5.0 out of 5 stars best headphones,
Maya "Maya" (Finland) - See all my reviews
After trying so many headphones that will be comfortable and not hurt my ears after long time listening music I found these.
Very lightweight , soft on the ears, and sound is just amazing. I like the white color as well they look cool and clean.
Bass is great and very loud and that is what I wanted.
They are very cheap but good quality. Don't think about it, just buy them.
The only down side I must point is that they don't have volume control on them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect,
I was a little skeptical about purchasing these headphones as in the past I have only ever used ear-phones as such. I thought it may be a little dodgy paying as little as �12 but thought it would be worth a go and my word was I blown away by these things!
How can anybody consider paying up to �150 for those dre beats when a pair of headphones like these are sitting on the market for as little as �12?! The sound quality is beautiful and you cannot hear anything from the outside world once these our firmly placed over your head. They are smart and fashionable too leaving me no problem with wearing these around the house or on the train either. They are super comfortable compared to those horrible ear-phones, fitting perfectly round my head with an adjustable length too.
Overall, these headphones do their job perfectly, for just �12 you get beautiful sound quality in a neat pair of comfortable headphones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product for tbhe price!,
What a great pair of headphones, They came the next day i ordered them. They are plug in a go, no setup required and very sleek design. Sound quality is great for the price, much better than most products of the same price. The bass is a TINY bit too low for my liking, but all around a fantastic product, definitely a bargain!

5.0 out of 5 stars Few things potential customers need to know,
MASTER SK SELVARAJ (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
These headphones need to be used for several hours before they 'burn in'
You also need to wear these quite loosely on your head. Or they become very uncomfortable and hurt the ears
I managed to find the perfect fit for my ears after fiddling around with angles and sizes. And now its very very comfortable.
Once you get past these initial issues, you will be amazed at the fantastic sound quality of these headphones in relation to the money you pay for it. On ear headphones like this Sony has its draw backs and advantages over in ear headphones. You get more bass and surround sound effect with these headphones. With inside ear headphones you get more volume. But inside ear headphones also give you serious headache in a shorter period of time than on ear headphones. This is why i decided it was time to get some on ear headphones like this Sony.
Volume freaks need to be weary of this product. On my mobile phone this headphone is not loud at all. Does not bother me because i dont listen to music loud. But when i connect it to my laptop it is much louder.
So i think 4 1/2 stars is my verdict for these Sony headphones. But Amazon does not allow that. So ill mark it as 5 stars. Not quite 5 stars but almost. Very good value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!,
If anyone is wondering if this are worth the money..they ARE! the sound quality i amazing ! forget your skullcandies for this price its amazing! and the design on them if really nice to!
I listen to songs with alot of heavy bass, like drum & bass etc...it handles it very well.
got nothing to complain about really! I would recomend these to anyone, and if your hesitating whether to buy them just do it! Im a boy and i dont think at all they look to "girly". I think any boy or girl would love to open a present and see these!

4.0 out of 5 stars Spot on for the price,
This review is from: Sony MDR-ZX100 Outdoor Headband Headphones - Black (Electronics)
Comfortable to wear, quality reasonable, sound could be louder, but for the price hard to argue. At just over a tenner couldn't be much satisfied.

After complaints, group to address Charlotte's panhandling problem
Reports of overly aggressive panhandling in uptown have prompted Charlotte Center City Partners to create a task force to find solutions.
Organizers say the group of experts will meet quarterly, and members will include police and charity representatives. A review of city panhandling ordinances is one of its goal, as well as finding money for outreach programs for people living on the streets.
A recently completed survey of Charlotte's frequent panhandlers found that 90 percent of them are not among the most vulnerable clients charitable agencies work with on a regular basis. In fact, the study found many were not homeless and were earning up to $150 a day by panhandling, officials said.
Aggressive begging, night-time panhandling and panhandling people waiting in line are illegal in Charlotte. Mark Price

What federal applicants should know about polygraph tests
More and more Americans reported last year to having to submit to a polygraph examination in the quest of a coveted security clearance for federal employment or to keep a federal job.

Yube Cube 14" Office Tower
About the ManufacturerThe Yube will grow on you in every way. Stack them up to build the structure you need, or tear it apart and do it again somewhere else; it's that simple. And it's fun to personalize with your own customized doors and accessories that are unique to you. Four sides snap together with a slide-in back; steel frame locks and corner clips push into place to make a rigid structure. Easy and quick - that's Yube simplicity. Being almost edible, the Yube outer panels you see are made from Sugarcane, only someone got there first to extract the sweet juice. Rather than burn the remaining fiber as waste, it's pulped for reuse and pressed into Yube panels. As with many natural materials, each panel displays it's own unique pattern. The frames of the Yube are made from Woodlite, a proprietary compound of non-toxic moldable plastic mixed with Bamboo, the planet's fastest growing renewable wood resource. Woodlite utilizes 20%-30% less non-renewable resources than similarly molded products. It even smells good unlike regular plastic, there is a pleasing light sweet aroma to remind you this is no ordinary material.

Customer Reviews
Fairly Easy Assembly
Mark P from Midwest
Nice modern look. Assembly is fairly straight forward but some basic tools are needed. The metal pins wouldn't insert without a few taps from a hammer. Clear shelves could be thicker as they tend to bow when loaded. This was fixed by putting lighter items on them. I recommend ordering the bamboo sides option as the stock side material is a recycled paper board and would stain or ruin easily if it gets wet or say a drink was placed on it. In short, about as involved as an Ikea piece with a cool modern lookfeel.

The pieces of Xuan Alyfe arrive from a variety of influences rarely found in street art. His work is largely abstract, but peppered with figures and other recognizable objects. The murals seems to subtly reference minimalist, surrealist, and even graphic design styles. Aylfe's art even seems to piece together various influences of other street artists into his own distinct style. Perhaps appropriately, then, he has exhibited and painted murals worldwide.

Swarm Of Eating Flies Used To Create Abstract Paintings
With the help of a huge swarm of flies, John Knuth transforms decay into creation. Flies have long symbolized death and rot in art as well as popular culture. In medieval times, for example, it was popularly believed flies were born out of carcasses rather than eggs as larvae. Knuth, though, emphasizes the flies productive role in the larger cycle of life and death. He creates his work by first feeding the flies water mixed with sugar and paint. The flies largely digest their food outside of their body, Knuth's flies doing this directly on the canvas. While digesting, each fly leaves a small mark of pigment, a small piece of the larger record or the swarm. Check out the video to see Knuth's process and more of his finished paintings.
Mike Carr's Abstracted Realist Paintings
Mike Carr, aka China Mike, has previously been known for his photorealistic paintings, but has since ventured into the realm of abstraction. Using a variety of media such as spray paint, acrylics, oil pastels, and charcoal, Carr's work captures a particular lack of constraint and fluidity that seems to spill out of the canvas, evoking a whimsical energy. Carr started out as a graphic designer, but embraced the medium of paint to escape the limitations of digital based media. "Process is as important as the end result. I don't really feel a pressure to create realistically defined images these days. I want there to be a playfulness in my work, to not get bogged down in mechanical routines". Carr is based in Bristol, England.
Abstract "Paintings" Created By Computer Algorithms
Perhaps in the strictest sense, these abstract pieces by artist Siebren Versteeg aren't paintings (or maybe in any sense they are not really paintings). However, they do say quite a bit about painting and creativity. Versteeg created code that utilizes a complex set of algorithms to create these pieces. The work is then often printed on to paper or canvas. Versteeg observes patterns, tendencies, styles in abstract expressionist painting and uses these as the basis for the code that create these "paintings". His programmed algorithms work with variable qualities such as viscosity, color, drips, and so on. The program then "decides" how to use and combine these variable in several layers to create a complete composition. In a way, the art is in the code Versteeg creates – the paintings merely a visual manifestation of that code.
Documenting Ephemeral Underwater Ink Sculptures
Alberto Seveso's high speed photographs of ink mixing with water are hypnotic and fascinating. Each shot depicts pushes of color twisting and bending with an emotive cadence, lulling itself into an ephemeral sculpture, detailed with sharp visceral attention.
Although such imagery is not new, per se, this specific collection feels intrinsically magnetic due to the captive nature of submerged color naturally bonding or relating before diluting. It's more about documenting the ease of abstraction than pushing a forced abstract agenda.
Photographs Of Transitory Spaces
Boston born and Brooklyn based, Leah Oates, examines how wires cross between elapsed worlds, over time, abstracting the most mundane views into beautifully muddled masses of illuminated energy.
Comparable to dust settling, each seemingly frenetic thread of line and light eventually condenses and glides into an artful circadian rhythm, conceptually, awaking a reaction or need to absorb the shock of our own projected velocities.
Of her work, Oates states, "Transitory spaces have a messy human energy that is always in the present yet constantly changing. I find them endlessly interesting, alive places where there is a great deal of beauty and fragility. They are temporary monuments to the ephemeral nature of existence."
Paintings That Depict Emotionality And Restraint
Margaret Nomentana's nonrepresentational art demonstrates a fascinating balance between emotionality and restraint. Often working in a spontaneous manner, and sometimes working on several paintings simultaneously, her imagery reflects moments of clarity, caught in the act of vision and revision. Whether it's collage or acrylic painting, her gestures evoke "abstract landscapes of the mind" or terse conversations with color and movement.
Of her own artistic desires, Nomentana states, "My strong minimalist impulse is tempered with a dry sense of humor, irony, and in spite of everything, a powerful sense of hope. Alma Thomas is my hero."
Portraits And Abstract Paintings Inspired By Glitter Bombed Lindsay Lohan
Jason Willome uses a diverse array of materials: acrylic, glitter, rayon flocking, archival pigment transfers, and cement, to expose ephemeral palpitations we, as humans, emote from personal experience, art history, or popular culture.
His portraits, for instance, take inspiration from a tabloid shot of glitter bombed Lindsay Lohan. Willome explains, "It was really beautiful because there was this atmosphere of glitter all around the space of the image, and there were these great cast shadows being projected through the glitter onto Lindsay Lohan, by paparazzi flash bulbs. I thought this would be a wonderful way to create a connection between an image and the surface, to kind of soften the painted illusion, but play into it at the same time."
Likewise, on a similar note, his "Technology Series" (second, above) further investigates "the atmosphere of the glitter bomb and interpreting atmosphere as paint material."
For both, what emerges is an airy quote lifted from mainstream media, translated with imagery that avoids the weight of celebrity by embracing another more elusive aura: how everyday abstraction beautifully haunts these spaces we build or share together.

Autopsy: N.Y. Firefighter Gunman Shot Himself
This 2006 image provided by the Monroe County Sheriff''s Department shows William H.

Scardino was wounded when William Spengler, 62, who served 17 years in prison for the 1980 hammer killing of his grandmother, armed himself with a revolver, a shotgun and a semiautomatic rifle before he set his house on fire to lure first responders into a death trap before dawn Monday, Dec. 24, 2012.

CORRECTS NAME ON SECOND REFERENCE - This undated image provided by the West Webster fire department shows firefighter Joseph Hofstetter. Hofstetter was wounded when William Spengler, 62, who served 17 years in prison for the 1980 hammer killing of his grandmother, armed himself with a revolver, a shotgun and a semiautomatic rifle before he set his house on fire to lure first responders into a death trap before dawn Monday, Dec. 24, 2012. (AP Photo/West Webster Fire Department)

The gunman who lured two firefighters to their deaths died of a self-inflicted shot to the head and wasn't hit by return fire from a police officer, New York State Police said Thursday.
But investigators still hadn't made a positive identification of the body found in William Spengler's burned house. They have said they believe the remains are those of his 67-year-old sister, Cheryl Spengler, who also lived in the house near Rochester.
Autopsies showed that West Webster volunteer firefighter Michael Chiapperini died of a single gunshot and Tomasz Kaczowka was killed by two, police said.
Spengler set a car on fire and touched off an "inferno" in his Webster home on a strip of land along the Lake Ontario shore, took up a sniper's position and opened fire on the first firefighters to arrive at about 5:30 a.m. on Christmas Eve, authorities said. He wounded two other firefighters and an off-duty police officer who was on his way to work.
A Webster police officer who had accompanied the firefighters shot back at Spengler with a rifle in a brief exchange of gunfire before the gunman killed himself.
Trooper Mark O'Donnell said investigators weren't releasing information about how Spengler got the military-style Bushmaster .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle, 12-gauge shotgun and .38-caliber revolver found with his body. He said they're still tracing the history of the guns. Spengler spent 17 years in prison for killing his grandmother in 1980 and was barred from possessing weapons as a convicted felon.
Police have said they believe Spengler used the rifle to attack the firefighters because of the distances involved, but O'Donnell said that hadn't been confirmed by ballistics tests. The rifle, which had a combat-style flash suppressor, is similar to the one used by the gunman who massacred 20 children and six women in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school earlier this month.
The wounded firefighters, Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino, were upgraded Wednesday to satisfactory condition at Rochester's Strong Memorial Hospital.
The hospital released a statement from them saying they were "humbled and a bit overwhelmed by the outpouring of well wishes for us and our families."
The Spengler siblings had lived in the home with their mother, Arline Spengler, who died in October. In all, seven houses were destroyed by the flames.
Investigators found a rambling, typed letter laying out Spengler's intention to destroy his neighborhood and "do what I like doing best, killing people."
He had been released from parole in 2006 on the manslaughter conviction and authorities said they had had no encounters with him since.
Police Chief Gerald Pickering said police may never know Spengler's motive.
Chiapperini, who also was a police lieutenant, was driving a pumper with Scardino on board when bullets blasted the windshield. He and Kaczowka died at the scene. Hofstetter was hit in the pelvis, and Scardino was shot in the shoulder and knee.
The passing off-duty officer from the neighboring town of Greece was treated for shrapnel wounds from gunfire that hit his car.
Calling hours for Chiapperini and Kaczowka will be at Webster Schroeder High School on Friday and Saturday. A funeral for Chiapperini is scheduled for Sunday at the school, with burial in West Webster Cemetery.
A funeral Mass for Kaczowka, who worked as a Monroe County emergency dispatcher, will be held Monday in Rochester at St. Stanislaus Church, with burial at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

Does anybody know why a tactic timed at ~1:00 gives me 22 points and a tactic at ~7:30 0nly gave me 8 points?
Depends. Probably because either the tactic timed at 7:30 was easier or it took you longer to answer it.

Vacation Planning Counselor Interview
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Marriott Vacation Club in January 2010.
STAR interview - situation task action result. Be detailed on specific situations, focus on positive customer service situations. Tell them how you helped the customer. First you get to apply online and take a ridiculous personality test that will probably keep you from even getting a call. Answer these questions with mostly 1's and 5's, don't put more than $15 per hour as your desired wage. Also don't put school schedule desired. If you get a call you'll get a short pre interview from hr, then a long difficult one from a manager.

I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Marriott Vacation Club in February 2008.Interview Details
Very easy. After completing the application, the HR manager will review your personality test results then set you up to speak with an Assistant Sales Manager. Your meeting with the ASM is very relaxing and he or she will ask that you give a pitch or read from a scripted to determine your tone. The interview may last 20 mins. They'll go over the your hourly wage and that's about it. Later that day, the HR manager will give you a call or send you an email letting you know if you're hired and the date of the training class.Interview Questions

New device could make tracheotomies quicker and easier
By Ben Coxworth
January 27, 2014
When a patient can't breathe through their mouth or nose, often the only way of getting air to their lungs is to perform a tracheotomy. This involves making an incision in the trachea, and inserting a breathing tube through it. Now, scientists are creating a device to streamline the process.
Developed by researchers at Spain's Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, the cylindrical-bodied tool has a sheathed breathing tube running through it, at the front of which is a spring-loaded cannula and the lens of a fiber optic camera. That sharp-ended combo is lined up with the patient's trachea and held in place using a curved brace that is pressed against their neck and collar bone.
The cannula is then inserted by the user, who first adjusts the preload of the spring based on the particular situation. Once it's within the patient's airway, the tube can be guided into place by viewing real-time video from the camera, on a smartphone-like device mounted on top.
The gadget is intended for use both in planned tracheotomies taking place in operating rooms, and in emergency tracheotomies carried out on location – most of us are probably more familiar with the latter, from movies and TV shows. Besides their being carried along by ambulance crews, the devices could also be installed in public spaces for emergency use, like defibrillators already are.

Lights out for incandescent bulbs at Ikea
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Traditional incandescent light bulbs are destined for the scrap heap in a few years, but Ikea is getting an early start at flipping the switch.
The furniture retailer, which has a store near Portland International Airport, said Tuesday that it wouldn't stock or sell incandescent bulbs any longer. It said it was acting early on the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act, which phase out incandescent lights bulbs by 2014.
Ikea will still sell other bulbs, such as florescent, LED and halogen lights, all of which are more efficient than incandescent ones. LED lights, especially, have seen a lot of development recently — LT Solutions Inc., of Brooklyn Park, is working to patent its own design of LED bulbs

SAN RAMON -- Chevron posted the successful conclusion of the initial exploration phase by its Canadian subsidiary, Chevron Canada Limited, in the Kaybob area of the Duvernay play, located in west-central Alberta, Canada.
Chevron Canada successfully concluded the initial twelve well exploration drilling program in the liquids-rich portion of the Duvernay shale play. Five wells have been completed and are tied into production facilities, and an additional four wells are waiting on completion and tie-in.
The company's acreage is well positioned in the condensate-rich and volatile-oil portion of the play. Liquids yield for the completed wells range from 30 to 70 % with initial production rates up to 7.5 MMcfpd of natural gas and 1,300 bpd of condensate.
"Early results of our Duvernay exploration program are encouraging," said George Kirkland, vice chairman of Chevron Corporation. "This discovery creates a foundation for future growth in Canada."
"Well performance and condensate yields exceeded our expectation and strengthen our plans going forward. Near term plans include transitioning to a two-rig drilling program to optimize well and completion design, and full field spacing requirements," said Jeff Shellebarger, president of Chevron North America Exploration and Production Company.
With the acquisition of Alta Energy Luxembourg and affiliates' acreage announced earlier this year, Chevron now has approximately 325,000 net acres in the Kaybob area of the Duvernay play.

Union father inspires priest's stand with miners

The rain-soaked labor rally held July 9 at Fairmont State University in Fairmont, W.Va., had just concluded as police arrested him and 29 others sitting in the street adjacent to a football practice field that hosted more than 5,000 miners and supporters from eight states.

text: Just where is the February 5, 2003, 8:34 PM EST Just where is the administration getting all that new money to prevent and treat AIDS in Africa? There's certainly some new money. But a closer examination seems to show that there's also a lot of robbing from Peter to pay Paul. There's a new policy analysis up on the Brookings website and it seems to show that a substantial amount of the new money is coming out of money we're already spending to wipe out other diseases in Africa. Here's a key passage (see the italicized section) which comes toward the end of the paper ... Table 1 clarifies that for the combined total of the Global AIDs Initiative and the Child Survival and Health account (which includes the bulk of HIV/AIDs assistance in H.J.RES.2), the Administrationâs request for fiscal 2004 shows no net increase relative to the fiscal 2003 funding in H.J.RES.2. This is because the Administrationâs increase of $450 million for the Global AIDs initiative is offset by a $470 million shortfall in its Child Survival and Health request relative to the fiscal 2003 appropriations bill. What's going on here? I give the administration its due. As the rest of the paper makes clear, there is some new money. But a lot of it seems to be coming out of money we're using to fight malaria, malnutrition and various diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. Why isn't more being made out of this?
