HIV/AIDS information portal in OK
CHAIN: Oklahoma's Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Information Network. A prototype web portal, designed to provide one-stop access to AIDS information for a state with a lower HIV infection rate.

Web designers and MetaFiltrans - does the concept work? Seen anything similar in your community?
"The Web, left to its own devices, would be the exact opposite of that: It's like a giant city with no neighborhoods; it needs these kind of meta-filters, these second-level kind of things, whether it is Yahoo or Google or Slashdot, to rein in that chaos and turn it to something more organized."

Record 5th Inning Sparks Lafayette Central Catholic To Record Fourth Straight Championship
June 16, 2012INDIANA SPORTS PAGE
Lafayette Central Catholic compiled 17 hits and 12 runs including a nine run fifth inning to beat the Shakamak Lakers 12-2. Lafayette Central Catholic becomes the first school in Indiana high school history to win four straight baseball state titles. The win also marked the Knights' 26th straight win in the IHSAA tournament series over the last four seasons.
The 17 hits and nine runs in the fifth inning were both Class A game records.
Lafayette Central Catholic started the top of the first off with a single by senior pitcher Austin Munn. Munn would later score on a sacrifice fly to center field by sophomore Evan Kennedy to put the Knights up 1-0 in the top of the first.
Lafayette Central Catholic would load the bases in the top of the second, but failed to capitalize on the situation and the Lakers would seize the opportunity. In the bottom half of the inning, the Lakers would hit a single and draw a walk with one out to set the stage for Lakers sophomore Christian Burris to hit a two RBI double and a 2-1 Shakamak lead.
The Knights answered right back in the top half of the third to tie up the game 2-2 after junior Jake Churchill hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score senior outfielder Nick Stone.
The Lakers came out in the bottom of the third and looked poised to score after loading the bases with no outs. However, Knights pitcher Austin Munn was able to get a strikeout and then get the following batter to hit into an inning-ending double play to preserve to tie.
Lafayette Central Catholic then blew the game wide open sending 13 batters to the plate in the top of the fifth inning scoring nine runs for a 11-2 lead. The first 10 batters of the inning reached base including a walk, 4 singles, 3 doubles, a triple, and an error.
The Knights would add another run in the top half of the sixth inning on a single to center field by senior catcher Wiley Lodde to make the final score 12-2.
Head coach Chip Sweet and the Lakers made the school's fifth appearance in the baseball championship game, and finished the season with a 27-7 record.
Head coach Tim Bordenet's Knights finished the 2012 season with a 31-4 record. Their sixth state championship moves them into second place in state history behind only LaPorte's eight championships.
Shakamak's Brock Dowell named Mental Attitude Award winner
Dowell finished his high school career ranked ninth academically in his senior class. He holds the school's single season record with 48 base hits, is a U.S. Army Scholar Athlete and earned the Louie Romine Scholarship as Shakamak's Best Male Athlete.

By FAZLEENA AZIZ email@example.com
IN ORDER to ensure that the delivery of the Klang Valley MY Rapid Transit (KVMRT) is on time, a Project Delivery Partner (PDP) has been brought on board to work closely with the government.
This will the first time the PDP model is applied here with the appointment of MMC-Gamuda Sdn Bhd. Its role and responsibility is to encapsulate the engineering design, procurement and system work.
The PDP concept will enable the MRT project to be rolled out efficiently in phases, attending to the delivery obligations and ensuring performance of all other contractors.
Projects such as Crossrail (Europe's largest construction project) and London Olympic Park are successful testaments of the efficiency and effectiveness of having a PDP on board.
Crossrail's PDP was responsible for procuring design, construction and railway systems, meeting the requirements defined by Crossrail Ltd. All contracts with designers, contractors and system suppliers were entered by Crossrail Ltd with the PDP as project managers. The PDP contracts included performance measures and incentives to deliver on time.
The man behind this huge task here is PDP engineering director Glenn Gittoes, who has 39 years of building railways to this credit including the Crossrail, Baltimore Metro, Bangkok MRT, Copenhagen Metro, Hong Kong MTR, the Kuala Lumpur LRT Line 2 and Singapore MRT.
Gittoes said the key words were "delivery" and "partner" to ensure the project benefited the people.
He said by partnering with MRT Corp they would complement each other, ensuring accountability and responsibility in terms of technical skills, experience and resources.
MRT Corp is in charge and sets the strategy and requirements the PDP must deliver.
"It is not an easy contract because we will be working on time and budget, so we have to maximise Malaysia's involvement. There are 11 system contracts with 90 packages altogether," Gittoes said.
"We don't want a duplication of roles like with Crossrail, which led to slow decision-making and inefficiency. Our incentive is to succeed with more responsibility and we have penalties here.
"We know how to get to the end on time from experience as what has been processed will be implemented to reduce risk and control cost. For us this is a better partnership and we are excited about seeing results, otherwise we wouldn't do it," he said.
He added that an independent checking engineer (ICE) appointed by MRT Corp would be providing independent reviews at key stages of the project.
Speaking more about the socio- economic impact of the MRT, Gittoes said Malaysia was experiencing 5% to 6% growth with the quality of life going up.
"But people cannot keep buying cars nor can more highways be built. Kuala Lumpur's people are comfortable using cars but the transition to public transportation will happen because no one wants to spend their weekends stuck in a traffic jam.
"The social side of it will gradually change because the stations will spur development. Good planning such as having stops at shopping malls will increase ridership. We will have more usage at the same cost.
"We do expect a lot of people to drop off as well as park and ride. Buses need to feed in and increase their frequency. At the end, you will see the environmental benefit with the same amount of energy used carrying more people around," he said.
He added that projects like this were not financially covered by the cost fare but its economical aspect would be worth the money.
The Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) Line is 51km long with seven underground stations.
The first half of the alignment is scheduled to open by the end of 2016, while the second half including all underground stations by mid-2017.

It was 250 years ago this year that the British decided to raze the Indian settlement, Black Town, that they had encouraged to develop just north of the Fort's walls on what is today the High Court campus. And, as the settlement was cleared, the New Black Town, today's George Town, began to develop beyond the boundary of the Esplanade that replaced the levelled old town to provide the Fort's guns a clear field of fire.
To the northwest of Old Black Town, in what is now the Law College campus, was the first British cemetery in South India. Lockyer, who c. l703 saw the old burial ground, wrote, "(It is) adorn'd with many stately Tombs…Some with lofty Spires carved with different Fancies, after the Indian manner; others in a lower Sphere gravely express the Merits of the Person for whose sake they were erected; and all in general have the most curious Workmanship in India bestow'd on them." When the creation of the Esplanade started in 1760, the cemetery too was flattened. Only two monuments, considered non-threatening, were spared and they still survive behind the Law College hostel, the Hynmer's Obelisk, where the child David Yale is also interred, and the Powney vault. The two monuments had, in the 19th Century, been considered isolated memorials. It was only in the 1890s that it was discovered that they were part of a burial ground; when excavation work began for the Henry Irwin-designed, Namberumal Chetty-built Law College, and large quantities of bones were unearthed!
The tombstones that survived the clearing operation were moved in 1763 to St. Mary's Church in the Fort, where they were used to pave the courtyard. But even these suffered further damage when they were dug out and used to serve as gun-platforms on the ramparts when Hyder Ali threatened the Fort. Today, after having been replaced in the yard haphazardly, only 104 survive.
The oldest British tombstone in South India, perhaps even in India — I don't know whether Surat or Machilipatnam have anything to say about that. It is now part of the St. Mary's courtyard, pieced together after fragments of it — collaterally damaged during the French 1758-59 siege — were found in the old burial ground. The inscription identifies it as the tombstone of Elizabeth Baker, wife of President Aaron Baker. She died at sea on their voyage from the Bantam settlement in Java, from where Baker was coming to Madras in 1752 to take charge of what had been named as the chief settlement of the British in the East. It was a position Madras was to enjoy till it was decided to transfer power to Calcutta in 1774. Elizabeth Baker died during childbirth shortly after leaving Bantam, and it was three weeks later than she was buried in Madras.
A new St. Mary's cemetery was established on The Island c.1761, next to what is now the Metropolitan Transport's headquarters.

* My reference to Blackbird fountain pens made in India by P. Orr's (Miscellany, December 21) has had V. Theetharappan recalling that P.A. Sanjeevi started the Pilot Pen Company sometime before World War II with Japanese inputs. When the Pilot Pen Company closed, Sanjeevi opened the Pilot Theatre in Royapettah.
* Say something about the demolishing of the Binny's headquarters building on Armenian Street, "a beautiful heritage building," says reader Rajesh Malhotra. What more can I say than what I said in July 2005, and I quote: "A landmark in George Town, the headquarters of Binny's, has passed into the hands of the Indian Bank… I only hope the 37,000 grounds…will not meet the same fate as so many other heritage properties owned by Government and units in the public sector. Most of these owners have the wherewithal to restore these properties, preserve a bit of our heritage and still earn something from them. But, the tendency has long been to pull down such properties and replace them with high-rises that earn already rich organisations substantially more. I hope that the Indian Bank will ensure that does not happen to a significant bit of Madras commercial history that it now owns…I hope…it will take its cue from Parry's where restoration has made an old landmark a striking monument to heritage."

This is crazy.
My first introduction to Lola was when I was a mere babe and my parents had this monster cabinet. Inside the cabinet was an 8-Track Tape Player, yeah, my parents are obviously old and stuff, and a record player. On an old 45 (those are what smaller records were called way back in the time of dinosaurs) was Lola. She was a Show Girl.
No, but seriously, my first introduction to anything Lola was a Show Girl that Barry Manilow sung his little lungs out about. These things stick with you well into adulthood when you're exposed to them as such a young age so now anytime I hear Lola I simply think of that tune and my foot starts tapping and I have a sudden urge to burst into song.
Now Marc Jacobs Lola has that Show Girl vibe with a big giant flower decking its bottle topper and I can't help but thing of super fabulous Show Girls (not the washed up variety, promise!).

Please let that be fan interference.
Please let that be fan interference.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
8th inning pitching has become a real problem for this team that's a homerun. another blown game by the bullpen
Eighth inning becoming an issue.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
What a remarkably horrific location for a hitter of Tulo's magnitude. Christ. That was Broxton/Ondrusekesque.
Rounding third and heading for home...
That's a HR. Well, our "LeCure Party" was just crashed by Tulo. I maintain LeCure is still WAY better than Broxton.
Just maddening. SOme terrible calls then he grooves one. No way they overturn it
"You're drunk again. No, I'm just exhausted 'cause I've been up all night drinking."
Peter Griffin
That idiot fan should be tossed.
Our bullpen is vastly overrated.
Yes that was a very impressive infield single. I thought for a second it was leaving the yard. - texasdave 10/13/12
It was going to go out, even though the fan was reaching out over the fence. I think any reasonable person would agree.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Looks like a home run.
Really hope it's interference. That fan may actually save the game.
"I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn't. And that's what makes it great." - Joe Posnanski
How many strikes do Gonzalez and Tulowitzki get? Is there a bylaw I'm not familiar with? Because Cargo got five and Tulo at least four.
Aw man. It's my fault, guys. I jinxed him. Sorry.

Small Business Tax
Section 179 vehicles should be a key part of your small business tax deduction strategies. Can Section 179 property fit in with your business tax strategies?
Let Business Management Daily help you get each and every rental property depreciation credit and business tax deduction you're entitled to.
The recent Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) will have wide-ranging federal tax implications. Significantly, same-sex married couples will generally be eligible to file joint returns.
Usually, a small business owner works long hours at his or her trade. But you might own a significant interest in another business operation, or perhaps your main business, where you mostly sit on the sidelines. Strategy: Turn your "passive" business interest into an "active" one.
The tax law says that you can deduct the cost of traveling between two business locations. But no deduction is generally allowed for "commuting" between your home and workplace. Accordingly, in a new case, the Tax Court denied a deduction to a taxpayer, even though he traveled a great distance to work each day.
In response to the scandal involving tax-exempt applications by conservative groups, acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel has released a new report outlining several ways the IRS can correct its flaws.
An article in the June 2013 issue of Forbes magazine certainly raised a few eyebrows in tax circles. According to the writer, William Baldwin, affluent retirees earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year may actually pay zero federal income tax this year.
The IRS is giving some business entities more time to apply for a tax refund involving severance pay. Alert: The IRS says it will sign Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, for certain taxpayers who had a FICA tax refund claim disallowed based on a controversial 6th Circuit court ruling.
The IRS has reported that as of May 10 more than 43.6 million people e-filed returns from their homes in 2013, an increase of more than 4% at the same point in 2012 when 41.7 million taxpayers self-prepared e-filings.
Estate planning has been muddled for the past decade or so as professionals and taxpayers alike grappled with an ever-changing tax environment. At long last, the fog has lifted, thanks to the American Taxpayer Relief Act.
Generally, the amount received in a lawsuit settlement is taxable, unless a specific tax law exclusion applies.
A new revenue-raising proposal on Capitol Hill bears watching. It would require emptying out many inherited IRAs within five years under a provision that Senate Democrats added to a student loan relief measure.

SDSU's Sampson makes most of Combine
INDIANAPOLIS DeMarco Sampson woke up to snow on Friday morning, just the second time he'd ever seen the white stuff.
DeMarco Sampson was a standout wide receiver at Castle Park High who eventually starred at San Diego State. Now he is preparing almost around the clock for the NFL Draft, working to chase his dream of playing professional football. The Union-Tribune will periodically chronicle that process, which will result in Sampson being selected by an NFL team any time in the draft's final two days or not taken at all. The series begins with Sampson readying for the NFL Scouting Combine and will continue through the draft, which is April 28-30.
Later that day, walking around downtown, his agent told him he looked like a kid.
Sampson was kicking the snow, picking it up.
"I was tempted to throw a snowball," he would say later.
To say Sampson was like a kid in a candy store at times this week would be apt on a couple levels.
After packing up his four bags of free shoes, sweats, gloves and various other sundries, standing downstairs at the Crowne Plaza hotel before boarding a shuttle to the airport Sunday night, Sampson reflected on the nearly five days here for the NFL Scouting Combine.
It started with an early-morning flight from Orange County on Wednesday, where the former San Diego State wide receiver is staying while training in preparation for the NFL Draft.
After a layover in Chicago, he arrived in Indianapolis around 4 p.m. that afternoon. Awaiting a shuttle with other players, he slumped in a chair at the bottom of the escalator near baggage claim.
"Long flight," he said.
At 25 years old, this had been the longest stay of his life away from Southern California. The last time he saw the sun was when he took off Wednesday from John Wayne Airport. He didn't get a single individual interview with a team here, which he acknowledged "devastated" him. Due to his ongoing recovery from knee surgery, he did not run the 40-yard dash or run routes, the marquee events for receivers here. He did do the bench press, 14 reps of 225 pounds, two reps more than he expected. He had X-rays, was poked and prodded and asked 100 questions a dozen times. Admittedly "terrified" of needles, Sampson also had blood drawn.
And he "loved everything about" the Combine, he said.
With what is commonly and ominously called the ultimate job interview behind him, Sampson could acknowledge that he arrived here a little overwhelmed and under-confident. He left having learned something about the other receivers here and, in the process, something about himself.
"Don't ever limit yourself," he said. "Once you limit yourself, you let other people dictate how far you can go. I was kind of limiting myself. I was thinking, 'This is what I can run' and 'This is where I fit' instead of saying, 'I'm going to beat everyone out in every drill.' "

Some more hiking below snow zone, UNESCO heritage
We hiked up to Ivan Rila's tomb. Had some time on our own with the ward who introduced us to the tame robins that flew on my hand.
Many Bulgarians come up to this place for religious reasons, leave whishes in the wall, fetch source's water. Interesting to see where the Orthodox Church leaves room for connectedness with nature. I however don't believe that Ivan slept in this cave for 7 years without even preparing himself a mattress.
Snow and Crocuses
We tried to venture over from the lift station to Ivan Vazov Hut. We knew that the hut is open and we had food for self-supply with us. There was quite some new snow lately unfortunately after a snow-meagre winter. Later the day bad weather came in that was forecasted to sustain for the following days. All in all reasons for us to buy a ticket on the lift down again and postpone the Rila mountain crossing to a later date.
Hot swimming
... Intense vegetables, well bbq-ed but generally the dishes are heavy on meat.
I imagine the Rila forests take long to grow. They have quite some misty microclimate that sometimes allows huge algae-like moss to grow from the branches. Hiker's trails are badly signed though, somteimes it's not easy to navigate.

... No discount when staying many nights though. For booking we needed a native speaker to call (e-mail not found).
Nice walk down to Sapareva Banya, takes a little more than 2 hrs. Walking up to the lift station that brings you to the seven lakes takes 1h20.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Stan Zipser, MD, JD (University of Colorado Health Sciences Center)
Description: This is a book on legal issues involved in the practice of radiology.
Purpose: The purpose of this book is to educate the radiologist on legal issues encountered in the practice of radiology. More specifically, the author seeks to make radiologists aware of how they can "become enmeshed in the legal system" and offers suggestions on risk reduction. These are worthy objectives as almost every radiologist frequently considers the legal implications involved in practicing radiology. The book is moderately successful at introducing the reader to many legal issues surrounding the practice of radiology, and in particular, educating the reader at how they may encounter the legal system and practice risk reduction strategies.
Audience: The book is intended for the practicing radiologist and would be instructive for the radiology resident and fellow as well. Because it is a broad, easy to reference introduction to many legal issues surrounding the practice of radiology, this book fulfills the needs of the radiologist. The author is a well known diagnostic radiologist, but is less prominent in the legal arena.
Features: This book introduces many legal topics that a practicing radiologist may encounter. The book begins with legal theories behind a malpractice action, and then covers such topics as the anatomy of a malpractice lawsuit, professional liability insurance, the missed diagnosis, informed consent, subspecialty areas such as breast imaging, PACS and email issues. The book's strengths lie in its breadth of areas covered and its detailed table of contents making the subject matter easily referable. It is a good introductory book and starting place for the radiologist looking for a quick explanation of a legal topic; that is, it is most useful as a reference when a specific legal question arises. I see only the very interested radiologist reading the book cover to cover. It is not an authoritative text on legal medicine. The book has weaknesses. First, the writing is at times incoherent. For example, the section dealing with vicarious liability issues of technologists - an important topic - is muddled and impossible to understand as written. Secondly, the book is sometimes incomplete from a legal point of view. For example, when discussing defenses against a claim of the missed radiographic diagnosis, the author does not mention one of the basic defenses against such a claim: namely, did the missed diagnosis cause an injury to the plaintiff patient? While the book does not purport to be a definitive text on medical malpractice, it sometimes even fails to provide the basic background of the topics the author chooses to address. Finally, the author at times relies too much on the work of Dr. Leonard Berlin. Some chapters are only a recapitulation of what Dr. Berlin has written in previous articles.
Assessment: This is a well organized and practical introduction to legal issues a radiologist encounters. It is a good book to refer to for a quick review of many legal topics. It falls short at times, however, in articulating even basic legal theories behind the topics introduced. It is better organized and slightly more authoritative but a little less engaging than Dr. Berlin's articles and books addressing radiologists' legal issues. There are countless articles and books on medical malpractice in both the medical and legal literature that cover the legal topics of this book better and more thoroughly, but this book is somewhat unique in that it is geared toward the radiologist.

Tracking NYC's Traffic Deaths
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
It's the year of "Vision Zero" but in 2014 there have already been 46 traffic deaths, from bikers to pedestrians to drivers and passengers. WNYC reporters Jim O'Grady and Kat Aaron talk about the new Transportation Nation database, tracking these deaths, and Jim's reporting on one victim -- four-year-old Allison Liao, struck by a car in Flushing, Queens.
Guests:Kat Aaron and Jim O'Grady
Comments [38]
Why don't we have better traffic light systems that don't rely on drivers to decide whether to drive through people. This is how Allison Liao died. The car had a green light and so did Allison and her grandma. Pedestrians have the right of way, but people are idiots. Rather then rely on them, lets change the traffic lights so this doesn't happen. It might slow down traffic in some places but Id rather people like Allison be alive.
Thankfully with advances in car safety features we will eventually look back on these days as the dark ages of driving when thousands of teenagers killed themselves every year because their cars weren't smart enough to stop them and urban drivers could kill people daily without recourse.
Also our laws are created by people who care more about their next campaign then doing what's right even if they think they are being altruistic you can't escape the political system we have.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might find info on how fast cars were travelling in accidents where deaths occurred? I'm very interested in the current push to lower the speed limit to 25 mph but I wonder how much of a difference this will make in the long run if the speed limit is not enforced.
Thank you WNYC for covering this issue.
Lives are worth more than negligible inconvenience for a small minority of our city.
Please slow down. Please be aware.
Reads please sign.
This blaming of pedestrians is BULL.
A plurality, if not a majority, of pedestrians who are hit by cars are NOT jaywalking. In fact I think most of them are in the crosswalk with the light. (Or perhaps that's the majority of those who are killed.) To the contrary of what selfish drivers and low-self-esteem pedestrians think, the ubiquitousness of jaywalking and "jaywaiting" in NYC is one of the best traffic calming factors NYC has. Jaywalking and "jaywaitng" SAVE pedestrian lives by slowing the psychopaths down.
Compelling vehicles to go slower--by various (and, make no mistake--POSSIBLE) means would make these "blame pedestrian" voices irrelevant and rightly silent. There should be no right to go fast on city streets. There's no reason for it, and it does more harm than good.
Very regrettably, everything about how NYC governs its roads--from how they are laid out to how its users' behavior is treated under the legal system--says that car occupants are more important than non-car occupants.
Of course it's not true that they actually are more important, anywhere in the world. But if there's any place it's especially untrue, it's New York City. Time to stop groveling before the city-destroying Moloch of fast driving on city streets.
Cars cause lung cancer, great mouthfuls of soot smog and asthma. They make my life uNbearable, ban them.
Such a complex issue. Our infrastructure is lagging, enforcement is sporadic at best, the law forgives recklessness, and citizens are ignorant to basic safe streets etiquette. I applaud vision zero for addressing engineering, enforcement, and educational aspects of our shared streets. Thank you WNYC for keeping the light shining on this issue.
Re: victim blaming. I would like to believe that if every pedestrian crossed at the crosswalk, and every bicyclist stopped at red lights, their reformed behavior would somehow teach motorists how to share the road safely with the rest of us. I fear this is delusional. Motorists must be the engine of reform and take responsibility for the recklessness of commonplace activities like operating a multi-ton vehicle in hurry through residential streets. Safety first principles must guide our engineering, enforcement, and education of motorists.
Is the driver from New Haven ignoring the rule that when she makes a turn she needs to YELD to pedestrians who have the green light? Most of the close calls I've seen in New York involve vehicles making turns when the light is GREEN for pedestrians, and not when people are jaywalking. My experience is that pedestrians don't bang on cars for fun, or when they are jaywalking, but when they feel their rights have been violated.
Many countries believe that your fate is "In the Cards" (or as the Chinese say, up to Joss.) This is a cultural mindset and I blame it for myopic, selfish and of course dangerous behavior. It absolves the individual from responsibility.
Second generation immigrants seem to be immune from this particular affliction, in my observation.
Well said Art: Sorry to hear that. I got whacked by a cyclist, riding the wrong way on a one way street. He fell off and even though I got hit, I reactivity apologized, he yelled at me "that I should watch where I was going" and of course - I then let him have it.
I drive 3 days a week for a major rent-a-car company. We move cars and trucks between the 5 boroughs of NYC and the tri-state area. I do agree with the truck driver that NYC pedestrians walk with reckless abandon when crossing the city streets and to top it off some are plugged into to their audio device of looking at their cell phone texting or talking etc.. While J-walking or stepping off the curb while waiting for the light to change They need to be ticked for doing these things. In CA cars come to a stop when a pedestrian steps on to the street, how can we start changing the culture on New Yorkers to try and get to that point. I have worked in NY, NJ, CT, MA, CO, CA. And I think NY has the most aggressive but best drivers. I just think we all need to slow down; drivers, bicycles & pedestrians and enjoy the city.
I have been following this story for a while. I am a commercial drive for 40 years. I believe there is no way to prevent accidents between vehicles and peds unless NYC institutes 4 way red light intersections. No mention has been made. Pedestrians should not have to compete with vehicles making right or left turns through a crosswalk they have the right of way to ealk through. This conflict causes the accidents. A clear four way red light gives pedestrians a clear path in any direction
I'm with you Sheldon. Yes bikers are less likely to kill someone although there were a number of cases where bikers put pedestrains in the hospital a couple of summers ago. I wonder if those bikers faced any charges. I don't think so. But bikers are the most cavalier in ignoring traffic laws. At least once a day a biker flies by me as I am crossing with the light. I have lived in New York for 35 years and I have to say that in the last few years I have felt a diminishment in the quality of life when you constantly have to keep swiveling your head to watch for errant bikers. I had one the other day who appeared at my shoulder brushing against me as he weaved through a crowd of pedestrians crossing with the light. He rode in their direction rather than across them and veered in and out of the crowd like a salmon swimming upstream. The other day a young woman rode the wrong way down one way Court street and right through the crosswalk as we had the light. I yelled at her and her response was -of course- "What is your problem"? My problem is you. And your arrogance. And sense of self entitlement.
Some misc. comments:
-Bring back Mayor Koch's "don't block the box!" - it's very scary for pedestrians to have to walk into traffic to cross the street because the crosswalk is blocked by cars.
-The city needs to clarify the law re. whether cars have the right to drive when they are waiting at the median between two roads (for ex, upper Broadway) and have a red light. I don't know what the law is, but clearly some drivers believe it's okay to drive through the red light. If okay, it shouldn't be. I was almost hit last week by a driver going through the red light while I was crossing with a green light.
-I'm alive today only because I look sideways/behind me to check for drivers when I cross the street and can run. Many years ago when crossing CPW and 77th street I saw a cab slowly driving into a turn toward me. Assuming his slow speed indicated he saw me and was waiting for me I kept crossing. But he kept on driving right into me. I had to run across the street to avoid being run over. The cab clipped me but I was okay. Had I been walking and looking ahead or unable to run I would be dead.
Friend hit by car walking in crosswalk, with light, on March 11, about 3:00 PM.
She is one lucky person in that all tests showed nothing broken and she didn't have skull
fracture. Car apparently was trying to make light. Presenttly she is in a lot of
pain and would like to follow up with orthopedist. No Fault insurance
is making this very difficult because doctors do not accept this. In how many
ways must she be a victim?
And while I am writing, what about the scooters, bikes and skateboards that will
soon be visiting our city streets withg full parental permission when it's a chile.
Walking is becoming quite scary.
As long as there are no clearly and solely designated times and places for pedestrians to cross safely there will be jay walkers. I will be one. Currently every time the crosswalk is designated for pedestrians, the pedestrians and the turning traffic have to jockey for position. This is dangerous and frustrating for both drivers and pedestrians. I am both a driver and a pedestrian. NYC is a a walking city first and that fact is not respected or accounted for like it is in all European cities. Pedestrians need more leeway, longer lights, and designated time when its only pedestrians and no turning vehicles to stare down as you try to dodge between them. Because of this problem I usually prefer to cross in the middle of a block between lights when I can see that the road is clear. That's not good either.
I'm a trauma surgeon, and I trained in NYC.
I agree with the callers about pedestrians being at fault. Anecdotally, the vast majority of "pedestrian struck" accidents we saw while I was training in NYC were due to jaywalking. Particularly Queens. For some reason, the people in Queens just have no respect for crosswalks, and the amount of jaywalking is staggering.
Bikers are no better. They disregard the traffic laws unless it benefits them. They run lights, weave through traffic, and get hit. We saw it constantly. So I think education programs for citizens regarding jaywalking and inappropriate biking is in order.
Disclaimer: I am not a driver, never have been, wouldn't know how to start a vehicle, no license and don't ride bikes so I am strictly pedestrian. But pedestrians AND drivers including bikers ALL have to get on the ball and work on this. I am also no angel, I cross against lights and in the middle of streets when I know and see there is no traffic or traffic so far away enough for me to make it across as slowly as I walk. I don't head into traffic and if I see only one biker coming who has the light I wait for the biker to pass me and always stop for traffic. But the "challengers" really should think twice for their own sake and that of others before the charge into traffic.
Cab drivers used to be employees, with all the usual circumstances--guaranteed wages, benefits etc. If they didn't have to worry about their daily contract fees, and gas rates on top of it, the pressure to make a decent living would be considerably reduced. Years ago I did research on the cab industry and found an article in a taxi industry magazine that said that making drivers independent contractors (as in the dominant current situation) is the best way to avoid a union.
I live on the corner where the 9 year old boy was killed by a taxi in January. No one has spoken about all of the changes that the DOT made to make traffic move faster in the city prior to this. In my neighborhood alone lights have changed, left turn lanes have been added, etc.
The problem here is that New York has a corrupt and incompetent law making body. Where are the traffic laws that need to cover an ever growing NYC population? Divers kill people and get way with it?
Again the problem is this corrupt, Tammany Hall Hall bunch of looser in Albany.
West 72nd St. between Columbus & CPW cars *constantly* make illegal u-turns, on a block full of bikers heading for Central Park. A disaster waiting to happen, I have never seen a single ticket handed out.
West 77th St. between Columbus & CPW - both bike lanes routinely used as double-parking lanes. I have never seen a single ticket handed out.
Enforcement will only have a marginal effect on pedestrian deaths. Drivers cannot be counted to drive well. Most don't.
However, one way that might have a big effect is to re-set lights. Instead of a two-cycle progression of red, green to green, red. There should be a three-cycle progression of red, green to red, red to green, red. The red, red would be obviously for the pedestrians.
Also, pedestrians must stay on the sidewalks. Once in the street, it is the pedestrian's responsibility to look 360 degrees continuously.
WHen there's an accident involving an injury, do the police check drivers' cell phone records to see if they were talking on the phone when it happened?
Pedestrians always have the right of way but the truck driver has a point. Many NYC pedestrians are rather cavalier about safety, assuming that they can always sue - flesh vs metal will always have one winner.
As a pedestrian and bike rider, it has been my observation that nights on NYC streets are ruled by reckless taxi and limo drivers. There is absolutely NO enforcement at night--I'm sure this makes a huge difference.
The fault is on all sides, frankly. I see pedestrians cross into heavy traffic arrogantly as if drivers should just stop on a dime. We all need to be educated. Bikers on the sidewalk at high speeds must be stopped and respect for drivers, bikers and pedestrians. I've seen pedestrians cross when I bike is coming thinking "oh, s/he'll go around me!"
Yeah it's everybody's fault here.
I would like to see minor traffic violation enforcement supplant stop and frisk practices as a means of reducing criminal behavior in the city. People who feel they are above the law show it with how they drive and endanger the rest of us.
I agree with the caller about the high beams allover the city. so many drivers also use blinding fog lights when there is no need. They should only be used on country roads and when fog is present, but I have never seen the NYPD cracking down on that.
I am a driver, a bicyclists and a pedestrian.
High beams in my rear view mirror or in my windshield are really an hazard.
There seems to be a general tendency at the city and community board levels that emphasizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. There was a huge battle in the NE Bronx over the last few years over the reversal of a street which now allows traffic coming off a parkway to enter a residential street at full speed instead of the adjacent service road with much fewer houses with no parking on one side of the street. We lost and the community board members were swayed by people that wanted the convenience of cutting through a residenital street instead of the street of the more traffic controlled service road. We lost that battle even though we showed the number of accidents now are increasing. I wish we had the talk of vision zero then. Until this mindset chsnges and pedestrians are put ahread of drivers, there are going to be instances of this all the time.
The corner street signs are terrible. They're badly faded and they're on every 2nd or 3rd corner which makes looking for an address while driving extremely difficult and dangerous. In addition apartment buildings and other commercial establishments do not have readable building numbers that a driver could see from the street while driving.
I believe you're incorrect, Brian. There are drivers who are that cavalier. They may not be trying to hit people, but I believe they knowingly make turns into crossing pedestrians in such a way, they know there's a chance they can hit someone, just because they believe they are above pedestrians.

How many pedestrian accidents involve city buses? I've had a couple of near-death experiences while standing on a corner next to a bus stop.
An NYC cyclist complaining about "violating traffic laws" - oh the irony!!!
The problem is that our leadership, in NYC and other cities, do not walk or bike. I live in DC and not a single council member or the mayor walk or bike. They all drive. They think to themselves "if we prosecute drivers for negligence then it might happen to me" so driving collisions that lead to a death are a de facto legal homicide, unless drinking is involved. It is disgusting that the driver could kill a 4-year old and just get two summonses. I hope that driver has nightmares for the rest of his/her life.
Some of these traffic deaths seem to be unpreventable due to health problems like driver heart attacks. Is there any correlation to traffic accidents and how long a victim or driver has lived in the city?
This sounds a bit crazy. In law school about 5 years ago, we were discussing some of the theories behind the excessively lenient car accident laws and drunk driving laws in New York state, and there was some discussion that perhaps Albany law makers hesitate to make these laws stricter as they and more importantly their children would also be subject to these laws. Any credence to this theory. The leniency of these laws are just ridiculous.

We can't decide which we like better, but here are two color choices for some awesome summer jeans by ESP No. 1 paired with my very favorite indie-spirit "Declare Independence" tee by Mini & Maximus and a cool necklace by our friends at Atsuyo et Akiko. Kids' style at its coolest. . . Which do you prefer?
It was a gorgeous weekend for TOAST of Tribeca this month, and I scooped up the kids and decided to make the artwalk our Sunday event. Both of my girls love art and I thought it would be fun for them (and me) to see how many artists and how much creative talent is all around us. The work we saw was amazingly diverse and it was really a kick getting into all of these studio spaces that dotted around the area. We do see a lot of spaces of course when doing local deliveries, but many of these were in buildings that I've never been in, with hallways dedicated to artists and their work.
Although I loved many of the artists, a couple stood out to me from a "Babesta" point of view. The first is Elizabeth Pantirer, who's unique shoe-art featured running shoes morphed with creatures of the sea and land. Very cool stuff and I thought something that would be awesome for a kids' room (something sweet for a newborn crafted from a first pair of shoes? Or something super cool for a tween/teen room with a fave pair of kicks as a conversation piece). I reached out to Elizabeth to hear a little bit more about her funky creations. –JC
We're all about cool kicks at Babesta – What inspired you work with sneakers?
I was first inspired in the summer of 2009 when I wore my running shoes out. They were just about to have holes when I decided to retire them. I experienced some amazing runs in those shoes and I wanted to turn them into an art project in which I could portray the determination and ferocity I felt when running in these shoes. I then developed my first sneaker monster.
How long have you been doing this? What's your background?
I've been making sneakers for almost 4 years now. I am a student at the New School and although I am not a fine arts major I do take advantage of the amazing fine arts and crafting classes they offer.
What sort of materials do you use to build your sneaker-art? How's it done?
I like to mold the shoe from the inside out into the shape that I desire. I cut into the shoe to shape the mouth and then mold the inside to keep the mouth opened. I then use a very lightweight clay to mold what the outside will look like. Once I've done this I can paint it and adhere it to the shoe. I use different types of adhesives based on the size of the clay being adhered, the effect and the weight. I have also used Halloween props (a fake finger for a shark) and gardening props (fake grass for elephants).
How was TOAST this year? Have you done it in the past?
TOAST this year was absolutely phenomenal. The studio I showed in had a lot of traffic over the weekend and a lot of people took interest in my shoes. This is the 4th year that I have been involved with TOAST. After my first year in the show a hip-hop sneaker organization contacted me about my sneaker monster and invited me into one of their shows.
You said you have done baby shoes too (what animal?) -that's pretty cool – any other standout custom requests you've had?
Last year I was commissioned to make baby shoes for a newborn baby. I took 2 sneakers and turned them into elephants and aligned them one behind the other. One elephant (the one in the back) was slightly smaller than the other and had its trunk wrapped around the tail of the bigger elephant. After this TOAST event I have been asked to make custom sneakers for a newborn boy. The couple come from Japan and Italy and I have been working on making one sneaker a koi fish and the other a stallion.
Custom shoes range about $200+. For more info, email Elizabeth Pantirer at firstname.lastname@example.com.

So I was just chatting with my daughter about what she was planning to make for her science project (she's studying inventors & inventions). She was describing a personalized weather machine she was seriously considering (biting off a bigger meatball than I would do!) and I asked her who would choose rain? She countered: think of the pairings – I want sun, you want rain, together: Rainbow! Touché: it's "you've got your chocolate in my peanut butter" thinking. Better together.
Pondering how we would create such a thing, I stumbled upon the MOMA's new exhibit Rain Room that begins May 12. While I doubt we will be busy at home tinkering with some GPS based weather contraption, (what I wouldn't give today for some yesterday-like weather), we will definitely wait in line to check it out next week at the MOMA.
The room is designed by Random International, and it's taking place in a lot next to the museum. Basically it's pouring, but when it detects you, the rain opens up to let you by, giving you the feeling of 'controlling the weather'. Sounds super fun!
So last night I went to the Passing it On event, the annual show by Rosie's Theater Kids. I am so blown away by these folks–making such a huge difference in the lives of kids in the city. Even more blown away by the kids themselves–amazing. One group sang "You Gotta Have Heart" with Rosie herself, and other amazing numbers were choreographed and directed by people like BD Wong ("M. Butterfly/Law & Order SVU") and John Tartaglia (Avenue Q).
It was a wonderful event by an organization that addresses a big problem: anyone with a kid in the public school system knows, when money's tight, the Arts are always the first in line to be cut. Enter this organization which provides free regular classes in performing to some of the most in-need public schools and then offer after school and summer programs to kids who audition and get chosen. Participation is based on passion and need over talent. Not only giving access to a talented panel of teachers and mentors, the organization helps them academically with tutoring programs and helps to get them into performing arts high schools as well.
Thanks for the show. Inspiring! Big Shoutout from your pals at Babesta! Pass it on…
Honored to be interviewed by one of my favorite bloggers in kids' fashion! Here's the link :

i personally didn't think the avengers was great, it was average, pretty good at most. it didn't have amazing visuals or action, it was kinda cluttered all together, the characters felt forced onto each other, and the movie feel and theme just felt off to me. the chitari and loki weren't the choice to me . plus read the comic they felt like a team a huge cluster of awesome marvel heroes the avengers, in the movie i saw five individual characters taking care of business.
interaction was awesome and the fact that they were all together in one movie was awesome though and i think thats why it got so much hype. that movie could have been so much better.
ok now think about it the dark knight rises deals with one hero the avengers had 5 shouldnt it have been 5 times as good. but thats not fair tdkr was the best. how bout the amazing spider-man, it wasnt the best and id still rather watch that, more constant sense of direction and better visual fun.
sorry for kinda slandering the movie like that. i bet you could plan better action sequences and better character intros. really, really, think about it! now what are your views, what do you think, was it really that good?

Bill Gross, in an investment outlook in April entitled "Man in the Mirror," questioned whether he was truly a great investor as he pondered his legacy in a new era of shrinking bond returns.
Almost a year later, his largest fund, the $236 billion Pimco Total Return, is trailing rivals, prompting clients to pull money for 10 straight months. On top of that, the 69-year-old is entangled in an ugly split from his former heir apparent Mohamed El-Erian, 55, with allegations of phone surveillance and public humiliations, that has painted a picture of Gross as an autocratic leader struggling to maintain his composure.
The departure of El-Erian and other top executives in the past year has become a distraction at a critical time for Pacific Investment Management Co., the Newport Beach firm Gross co-founded in 1971 and built into the world's largest fixed-income manager amid a three-decade rally in bonds. As rising interest rates worldwide have prompted investors to flee bond strategies over the past year, Gross's ability to improve returns is crucial for Pimco to reverse client redemptions.
"This clearly has the potential for being distracting," said Michael Rosen, chief investment officer at Angeles Investment Advisors LLC, a Santa Monica-based consultant to institutions. "We prefer our portfolio managers to simply manage portfolios and not spend time thinking about what's being said in the media."
Gross's Pimco Total Return Fund has declined 0.6 percent in the past year, trailing 76 percent of rivals and underperforming the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. This year, the fund has advanced 1.45 percent, ahead of 56 percent of peers.
"No distractions here – just long-term performance satisfaction – working hard as always for clients," Gross wrote Monday in a message on Twitter.
Gross in April wrote an investment outlook where he examined his legacy as an investor, and said his returns and those of investors such as Warren Buffett, Dan Fuss and George Soros were helped by investing in an era of expanding credit that started in the early 1970s, when gold was de-linked from the dollar.
"Perhaps, however, it was the epoch that made the man as opposed to the man that made the epoch," he wrote.
The billionaire's introspection came just as bond markets entered a period of turmoil after former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled in May that the central bank would start unwinding its unprecedented asset purchases. Investors responded by pulling a record $9.6 billion from Pimco Total Return in June, according to Morningstar.
Tensions between Gross and El-Erian mounted around that time as performance stumbled and withdrawals continued, according to two people familiar with the firm who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. During an investment committee meeting in June to set guidelines for funds, Gross lashed out at El-Erian, the people said.
In front of more than a dozen of the firm's top investment executives, Gross said he had a 41-year track record of investing excellence, then turned to El-Erian and asked what he could point to, the people said.
El-Erian on Jan. 21 announced his resignation from Pimco. He declined to comment on the meeting.
"Well, I think Mohamed's investment record stands for itself as does mine and I would invite any reader to draw their own individual comparisons through publicly released performance numbers," Gross said in an e-mailed statement March 2. "Collectively, however, we are world class, winners of more Morningstar Manager of the Year awards than any other firm by far. Pimco stands alone in my opinion and in the opinion of millions of other investors."
Gross later told Reuters that he had evidence El-Erian is trying to "undermine" him by talking to the media about conflicts at Pimco, according to a March 6 story published on the news organization's website. Gross "indicated" he had been monitoring El-Erian's phone calls, Reuters reported.
A spokesman for Pimco told Reuters that Gross didn't make the statements attributed to him, and that he "categorically denies" that his firm listened in on El-Erian's phone calls. Mark Porterfield, a spokesman for Pimco, declined to comment on the Reuters story when contacted by Bloomberg News.

Maharashtra, which contributed the second largest number of seats to the NDA's kitty (42) after Uttar Pradesh (73) secured six berths in the Narendra Modi-led Union council of ministers with Rajya Sabha MP Piyush Goyal representing the country's financial capital in the cabinet.
Others include Maharashtra BJP's strongman Gopinath Munde, whose chief ministerial ambitions are no secret; RSS swayamsewak and former BJP national president Nitin Gadkari, who notched up his maiden Lok Sabha victory from Nagpur; Shiv Sena leader Anant Geete who trounced NCP minister Sunil Tatkare from Raigad in a close fight; Raosaheb Danve Patil, a four-term MP from Jalna, Marathwada, who has an RSS background, and former Rajya Sabha MP and party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar.
Here's a profile of Maharashtra's leaders in the cabinet.
Piyush Goyal, 49
A good deal of the credit for the BJP's massive success could be attributed to him because he masterminded the party's social media and mass media campaign. As party treasurer, he also played a crucial role in raising funds. Highly educated (all-India second rank holder in CA exam and second rank in law in Mumbai University), he is liked by the corporate bigwigs of Mumbai. Piyush belongs to a family with strong roots in the RSS. His late father Vedprakash was national treasurer of the BJP and a Union minister in the erstwhile Vajpayee cabinet whereas his mother Chandrakanta was BJP MLA from Matunga.
Piyush has taken part in leadership programmes conducted at Yale (2011), Oxford (2012) and Princeton (2013) universities and is presently doing a management programme at Harvard Business School. He was on the board of directors of leading banks, including the State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda. A well-known investment banker, he has advised top corporates on management strategy and growth.
Gopinath Munde, 64
Elected from Beed, Munde is expected to lead the campaign of the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in the forthcoming assembly elections. The BJP's deputy leader in the Lok Sabha even managed to get his aide Raosaheb Danve into the Modi cabinet.
Known for his tenacity, Munde is widely credited for his campaign against NCP chief Sharad Pawar and the Congress and for ensuring the saffron alliance's victory in the state. In 1995, he was deputy CM and home minister under CM Manohar Joshi.
The BJP managed to spread its base among OBCs in the state, shedding its upper caste image with able help from Munde which resulted in his stock rising in the party. Munde belongs to the Vanjari community, which has significant numbers in Marathwada and parts of Western Maharashtra, and this helped the party spread its base among his community and other OBCs.
His political career began with the ABVP in his college days and was later initiated into the RSS by the late Pramod Mahajan.
Munde was elected to the state legislative assembly five times and held the post of the leader of opposition in the Vidhan Sabha from 1992 to 1995. In 2009, he managed to retain his Lok Sabha seat despite the NCP pulling all stops to defeat him. He managed to stitch a five-party alliance, leading to the wipe out of the Congress-NCP in the state.
Nitin Gadkari, 56
Former BJP president Nitin Gadkari's stars are on the ascendancy again with his inclusion in the cabinet. After being denied a second term as BJP president after the Purti group controversy, Gadkari managed to resurrect himself following a clean chit by the income tax department and a successful election.
Gadkari, who hails from Nagpur - the headquarters of RSS – began his political career with the ABVP. He is widely credited for the roads and flyovers in the state when he was PWD minister in the Sena-BJP government. The former BJP president is expected to have a larger say nationally and in the state after getting a clean chit, forcing Congress leader Manish Tewari to apologise for making corruption allegations against him and sending Arvind Kejriwal to jail.
He was always criticised for not being a mass leader. But with his massive win from Nagpur, Gadkari has managed to announce his arrival as a mass politician. He runs a successful industrial enterprise and prides himself as an entrepreneur.
Anant Geete, 62
Few eyebrows were raised in the Shiv Sena when the party nominated the Raigad MP to be its sole representative to be sworn-in on Monday. Geete, a six-term MP who is close to the Thackeray family, has earned the reputation of being a giant killer of sorts after defeating water resources minister Sunil Tatkare (NCP) with a slender margin in what was seen as a lost battle for him.
In 2004, Geete, who hails from Ratnagiri and began his electoral career as a BMC corporator, trounced former CM and then Union minister AR Antulay. The resident of Andheri is a good orator in Marathi and Hindi. He made his Lok Sabha debut in 1996, defeating then Congress MP and local education baron Govindrao Nikam from Ratnagiri. In 2002, Geete, who enjoys a formidable base in Konkan's Kunbi community, became minister of state for finance for a few weeks and was later elevated as power minister in the AB Vajpayee government.
However, the low-profile and soft-spoken Geete is said to have engineered the defeat of then leader of opposition Ramdas Kadam from Guhagar constituency in 2009 against former Shiv Sainik Bhaskar Jadhav, who is now the state NCP chief. The Peasants and Workers Party, which has support in the Agri and Kolis in Raigad, and had supported Geete in 2009, snapped ties with the Sena and fielded former NCP MLA Ramesh Kadam, a Tatkare loyalist, from Raigad.
However, despite the fight being skewed in favour of Tatkare, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray deployed party cadre and resources in the constituency to ensure that Geete was not defeated. Geete sailed through in a close contest.
Prakash Javadekar, 63
Despite being denied a Rajya Sabha seat recently, he managed to get himself into the Union cabinet. Pune-based Javadekar, who has never won a direct election, was member of the state legislative council from 1990 to 2002. He was first elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2008 and is credited with writing several books on economy and farmer issues. He also played a role in spreading the party in Western Maharashtra among the middle class.
Javadekar also began his political career with the ABVP. He took part in the agitation against emergency and was imprisoned for 16 months. He has been the BJP's state secretary and campaign chief of BJP, Maharashtra. Javadekar was appointed national spokesperson of the party in 2005 and has managed to do justice to his role.
Raosaheb Danve Patil, 59
Raosaheb Danve Patil's appointment does not come as a surprise as he is among the senior-most MPs of the BJP in the state and has been elected to the Lok Sabha four successive times. He has also been elected to the state legislative assembly twice. Danve Patil from Jalna has been representing a district which does not have a single BJP MLA. His family has been closely connected to the RSS; his father Dadarao Patil, who was member of the Jan Sangh, initiated him into politics. Danve Patil has risen from the grassroots and has played a crucial role in increasing the BJP's influence in the region. He belongs to the Maratha community and is an important leader in Marathwada.

Aquino: Growth must be inclusive
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III on Thursday opened the 14th annual conference of the Global Development Network (GDN) with the statement that economic growth must be "inclusive."
"We can't have a society where a few flourish, and the rest must make do with crumbs. We must have inclusive growth," said Mr. Aquino, citing the conditional cash transfer (CCT) program as one of the administration's flagship projects that could allow the poor to benefit from a strong economy.
Mr. Aquino vowed that the next phase of "continued interventions" for the "poorest of the poor" over the next three years would include mass housing, job creation, tourism and agriculture.
"The next three years will see continued interventions on the poorest of the poor but also a focus on the vulnerable but emerging sectors of society, all made possible by prudent public finance policies and honesty in public administration; by continuing efforts to build mass housing on site and not in far-flung areas; by creating durable jobs in industry, tourism and agriculture," the President said.
The GDN is an international organization that builds research capacity and supports researchers in developing and transitioning countries to generate and share high-quality applied social science research. The GDN's goal is to inform policymakers in advancing social and economic development.
The conference is being held at the Asian Development Bank headquarters in Mandaluyong City.
