By Siddharth Cavale and Devika Krishna Kumar
May 29 (Reuters) - Dazzled for two-and-a-half years, WallStreet finally blinked when Michael Kors Holdings Ltd warned that its margins might suffer from the cost of openingstores in Europe.
A pullback in the stock on Wednesday lasted only a fewhours, investor confidence quickly restored by a revenueforecast that reinforced Michael Kors (Frankfurt: MKO.F - news) as the pre-eminent brandin affordable luxury.
But for a stock that has quadrupled since its New York (Frankfurt: HX6.F - news) listing in December 2011, the hiccup betrayed investors'uneasiness about a valuation that towers above that of itspeers. How, they ask, can breakneck growth be sustained?
"It's going to get a little bit harder from here," saidWells Fargo Securities analyst Paul Lejuez, who has a pricetarget range of $86 to $90 on a stock which closed on Wednesdayat $97.01.
Kors's shares were down about 5.5 percent at $91.68 inafternoon trading on Thursday.
There is plenty of room to usurp luxury brands in Europe inthe same way that Michael Kors has eclipsed rivals such as Coach (Frankfurt: COY.F - news)Inc in the United States. At home, brand loyalty,e-commerce and a shift into department stores also promisegrowth.
For investors, the biggest risk lies in the valuation. Korstrades at 23.69 times forward earnings, higher than an industrymedian of 17.27 times, according to Thomson Reuters (Frankfurt: TOC.F - news) data. Coachtrades at 14.64 times forward earnings.
Kors's stock should be trading at $58.41, according toStarMine's intrinsic valuation model, which takes analysts'five-year estimates and models the growth trajectory over alonger period of time.
"Top (Taiwan OTC: 8419.TWO - news) -line momentum can't be denied, but with marginspotentially peaking, there are fewer ways to win going forward," Sterne Agee retail analyst Ike Boruchow wrote in a note. He hasa "neutral" rating and a price target of $100 on the stock.
With a market capitalization of $19.8 billion, the companyfounded by fashion designer Michael Kors has already grownbigger than Coach (NYSE: COH - news) , which is valued at about $11.2 billion.
Marketing savvy has secured a loyal following online.Michael Kors' Facebook (NasdaqGS: FB - news) page has 13.8 million likes; Coach, abrand that has been around for much longer, has 5.3 million.
One false step, though, and the stock has a long way tofall. Jefferies & Co analyst Randal Konik bumped his pricetarget up to $95 on Thursday, but has a "hold" recommendation.
"History reminds us that Coach was once the 'it' brand inaccessible luxury, as KORS is today," he said.
Revenue up 39 percent or more every quarter since goingpublic. Sixteen straight quarters, stretching back to before theIPO, of same-store sales growth in excess of 20 percent. Grossmargins consistently above 57 percent.
Every statistic thrown up by the company points to thepopularity of its clutches and wristlets, which can cost aslittle as $100, of its watches that retail at between $150 and$550, and of snakeskin handbags that carry a $3,000 price tag.
Wednesday's warning that gross margins are expected to fallin the next few quarters was unusual enough to precipitate asudden 4 percent drop in the stock, which had been up 8 percentbefore the bell. The shares recovered to close up 1.3 percent.
The short-term margin pressure, however, is part of anexpansion into Europe that could be the next pillar of growth.Kors will open 55 stores in Europe in its financial year toMarch 2015, adding to the 80 already open.
"Rather than 'overearning' in the near term and deferringlarge investments and expenses, management is choosing tore-invest some of that margin," said Janney Capital Marketsanalyst Adrienne Tennant, who has a "buy" rating.
The plan, eventually, is to have as many as 200 stores inEurope, a region where fourth-quarter sales more than doubled.
Sam Rines, equity analyst at Chilton Capital Management,said he believed Michael Kors could create a niche of its own.
"Europe has a deeply ingrained fashion mentality with noshortage of well-known, high-end luxury retailers," he said."But aside from possibly Burberry, there are few accessibleluxury brands."
The company is also reaching more customers back home.Familiarity helps: Kors himself, who retains a small stake inthe company, is a well-known face after a long run as a judge onTV show "Project Runway."
The company has also been upping its presence in bigdepartment stores such as Macy's and Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN - news) , convertingits own stores into branded shop-in-shops that sell only some ofits products, but reach a bigger audience.
At least five brokerages, including Wedbush Securities andGoldman Sachs (NYSE: GS-PB - news) , raised their price targets on Thursday by as muchas $14 to within a range of $110-$134. Each maintained a "buy"or similar rating on the stock.
"With its international growth story still in its nascentstages," said Janney Capital's Tennant, "we believe the positivemomentum, driven by increasing brand awareness and customerloyalty, will continue for many quarters to come." (Editing by Robin Paxton)

Why Does Los Angeles Keep Rewriting Its Own Script?
Finding What's Worth Preserving in a City Known for Constant Change and Flux
There's a classic scene in the 1991 comedy L.A. Story, where "wacky weekend weatherman" Harris Telemacher, played by Steve Martin, is giving a tour around the city of Los Angeles. "Some of these buildings are over 20 years old," he says excitedly.
Angelenos get the joke. They know that for a breed of Southern Californians, it's all about "out with the old and in with the new."
But that's not the whole picture. L.A. is also a metropolis well known for its distinctive neighborhoods, diverse influences, and quirky landmarks. Even …

It is almost a truism that marketing has become highly technology-intensive. A nearly ubiquitous component of any marketing technology portfolio is email marketing. In fact, there is a high probability your company is already using some form of it, even though you might not be aware of it. A related component is marketing automation. Customers often talk of these in the same breath. In this article, we will look at this distinction in some detail and also summarize what marketers should know when evaluating these technologies.

Aquafadas, developer of digital publishing solutions, announced it has added two new features--Progressive Downloads and ImageMagick support--to its Aquafadas Digital Publishing System version 3.0.
The Aquafadas Digital Publishing System lets publishers add interactive enrichments to content. However, some of these enrichments call for larger file sizes that cause longer downloads. With the new Progressive Downloads feature, consumers can select and begin reading their favorite section while the download goes on in the background.
Aquafadas v3 now leverages ImageMagick technology to automatically resize graphics, eliminating the need to edit images in external programs such as Adobe Photoshop. Users simply insert images into the layout, and the Aquafadas Digital Publishing engine resizes the graphics to display on any given smartphone, tablet, or desktop system.

This letter formally transmits the briefing slides in response to section 1119 of Pub. L. No. 110-315, the Higher Education Opportunity Act. This act mandated GAO study the financial and compliance audits and reviews required or conducted for the Federal Family Education Loan and Federal Direct Loan Programs. On August 6 and 7, 2009, we briefed the staff of congressional committees on the types of audits, reviews, agreed-upon procedures, and reconciliations that are required or conducted for these programs. At congressional request, we have incorporated additional information on the agreed-upon procedures engagements required by the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act and the reconciliations performed by the Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid. In a forthcoming report, we will provide an assessment of whether these audits and reviews as designed provide comparable coverage of the two loan programs. That report will also discuss how the Department of Education ensures that these audits and reviews comply with statutory and regulatory requirements and how the Department uses them to oversee these loan programs.

It's the holidays and there is virtually no one left in the dorms. Young studs JD and Kyle have rooms next to one another, and one sunny Saturday morning they see each other shirtless out on the balcony. JD seizes his opportunity, inviting Kyle inside to watch some television - but as soon as the guys are alone on the sofa, they both make a move, feeling each other all over and kissing on the lips and neck. After some blow job fun, the guys hit the bedroom, where they have plenty of room to stretch out into all kinds of exciting anal positions! Kyle really takes it deep in his tight little shit hole - he's going to feel it tomorrow!

I made this for the cookathon for kittencal. I love all of her recices and this one did not dissapoint!! It is very good.
Made this for kitten's cookathon to show support. This is a wonderful recipe if you want a orange julius. Kittencal you have the most wonderful recipe's. Highly recommended. *hugs*
I've never had one from the chain, but this is tasty. Instead of adding sugar, I used a large spoonful of Light Cool Whip to add a bit of extra sweetness and frothiness.
Delicious! I used 2 cups almond milk and left out the water. Great drink! Thanks Kitten!
This brought me back to my childhood! It is just how we used to make it...Thanks
I don't use a whole can of the concentrate, I just use one cup of the reconstituted juice, but if you like a stronger taste, this is good too! It's my favorite orange julius recipe out there. I also use a bit more ice, but my ice maker makes quite small ice cubes. Yum....perfect for summer!
I've made this recipe with different variations. I've added bananas, & strawberries. I even put some vanilla ice cream in it once.. lol The last time I made it, I used limeade (instead of oj) with some sparkling cherry drink in place of the water. It is so good! I'm not sure if everyone uses powdered sugar but I tried it with that the first time I made it & I didn't think it was too good.. So I've used granulated sugar since and I like that so much better. You still get a nice froth.
This is VERY close to the orange julius I drank as a child. I think I'll add just a pinch of sugar next time, but we enjoyed the entire blender-full!
This was tasty and refreshing! I did add just a little sugar. A quick and easy breakfast pick-me-up!
Seriously- did you use to work for them or something? This tastes carbon copy to theirs.. Minus the 5 bucks you would have to pay for one glass.. :) Keeper 4 Sure..

Just started taking it: Prostate and urinary issues. This could also have negative side effects, so i follow the 'law of three rule': i take one every other day, then see how body reacts; then take another the day after a pause. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, then skip taking it over the weekend, giving liver and kidneys ample time to process and cleanse. Always exercise caution. VERY IMPORTANT TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER, especially for seniors. Kidney function can be impaired: Taking supplements and medications puts extra demands on the kidneys and liver, you need to give them lots of fluid for processing. The human body consists of 70% water for a reason. Better extra visits to the bathroom than to the hospital. Supplements are not to be taken lightly (no pun intended). Everything has an effect. Pay attention to what your body tells you: Lower back pain (Not to be confused with a 'bad back') is the first signal from the kidneys that something is up. Immediately stop taking all supplements until all signs of pain subside. GENTLY Increase fluids. Then GRADUALLY -after five days hiatus- resume your regimen with GREAT CARE.

This is the third bottle I've had and to be honest the biggest result so far is to gain some of my Manhood back. I was more than pleased with the results of this product and will continue to use it for as long as I feel the benifits. I would also like to congratulate iHerb on a wonderful and timely service they provide across the globe (always quicker than my local suppliers from around the corner)Cheaper by far too.

Both my husband and I have been using this product. My husband has regained energy and stamina, and his "man boobs" have significantly reduced in size. He is 66 years old. I haven't taken it as regularly as him, but I notice an increase in energy when I do.

transport and technical infrastructure A reliably functioning city Prague wishes to modernize, develop and run the transport and technical infrastructure so that it supports the proper functioning of the city and its economy. It should also support the city's ambitions and development as a whole. It should be on a par with the current technical advances and operate reliably, efficiently and be kind to the environment. In an effort to realize this strategic vision the city administration (elected bodies, authorities and city organizations) in co-operation with the public and private sectors and the people of Prague are pledged to do the following: • Develop an integrated public transport system; raise its standards and competitiveness in comparison with individual car transport. • Influence the level and style of car use in Prague to dramatically reduce the negative effects they have on the city's environment. • Pave the way for rail, road, air and water integration into the European network and for the attainment of European norms of other developed European countries regarding the standards of the infrastructure. • Raise the efficiency of the technical infrastructure, its reliability and share in the city's safety, reduce losses within the system and environ- mental pollution, which is the result of a poor functioning and faulty infrastructure. • Optimize the use of the existing systems and capacity of the transport and technical infrastructure, complete their modernization and put the development of new city centres and new housing localities first. 54 The key to a well-functioning city The key to a well-functioning city lies in reaching a balance between the high internal and external demands on capacity, reliability and quality of the transport and technical infrastructure of the city and the state of the environment. Within the city limits there is a concentration of activities that have interregional importance and also a lot of services provided for the high numbers of people present on a daily basis – commuters, students from out of city, patients and visitors to the city. The demands on the infrastructure sys- tems will be directed to the needs of between 1.5 and 1.8 million people, the interests of the city and the future trends in development requirements. For example, there is al- ready a significant rise in the demand for completion and modernization of the infra- structure in commercially attractive localities. Prague must also sensitively market its function as an intersection on the important transit routes. Prague, in most areas of its infrastructure is linked sources of regional, national and Euro- pean importance. The city does not have in its territory the necessary resources for the linking of its systems and is unable to cover the substantial transport and technical infra- structure investment costs from its own budget. Main external links of the Prague infrastructure Chomutov Teplice Děčín Ústí n. L.

L. Bratislava, Vienna Putting people first The rapid growth of car use in Prague and surroundings since the start of the 1990's greatly exceeds national and European levels. This development caught Prague at a time when its roads were in no state to cope with the much lower demand of the 1980's let alone that of the 1990's. In the 1990's a communication concept – a main road system, was put together. The number of established parameters on the routes of the individual parts of the system were faced with consequential effects on the surrounding areas and therefore, a mutu- ally acceptable solution was sought. The system was based on two ring roads – inner and outer. In the knowledge that post dimentionalized communication, on a capacity level, which is closely linked to the city, throw up the urgent problem of the need to offer the most attractive and competitive public transport. In the last few years Prague has gradually introduced regulation of transport through very strict parking policies, learnt from the experience of foreign cities. Thanks to 55 Car traffic in Prague marked measures between 1995 and 1999 on freight traffic; the share of private vehicles (%'s from 1990) used to transport goods was stabilized at around 40%. 400 The city therefore, decided to seek the optimal vehicle use limits by contributing to mak- 350 ing public transport more attractive, unifying Prague and substantial parts of the Central Bohemian Region into an integrated system. This stance, apart from anything else, will 300 improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. The risk of this chosen way forward is, that is it inconsistent in its implementation measures, which could weaken the position 250 of public transport and result in an increase in car use on the roads. The slow pace of im- 200 plementation of transport policy is currently leading to a transport breakdown in Prague, despite there not being a liberal transport policy in the past either. 150 Lasting public interest in the public transport system (Prague wants pubic transport to reach a 65% share in the overall transportation of people) has favourable side effects on 100 the environment, trickles through to economic prosperity and also raises speed, fluency and safety on the roads.

The individual systems do not have, for the time being, equal conditions to be able to make optimal influence on the city and to varying extent, problem solving is this area is dependent on nation-wide solutions. The supply if drinking water can be considered as sufficient in the day-to-day running. Water consumption has fallen; the amount of water produced and distributed today is a third lower than the maximum levels reached in the eighties. The main interest today is Number of repaired breakdowns in the water network the unsuitable state of the water network as the cause of regular breaks in supply and (columns on average 80 to 1 600 mm) high levels of drinking water leakage and the loss of quality on its way from production 6,000 to consumer. This new approach to the drainage problem stems from consideration for the environ- 5,000 ment and the latest scientific knowledge. This requires changes to be made in the water drainage and wastewater disposal system. The biggest problems are with the single 4,000 sewer system where during rainfall there is leakage of wastewater through overflow chambers, which poses a threat to the natural waterways. 3,000 The poor functioning and misuse of the sewer system means that much domestic waste- 2,000 water is cleaned together with ballast water, which indirectly takes up drain, and water re- cycling and purification centre capacity and disturbs the water cleaning process. On the other hand little pollution actually makes it to the water plants because it falls as sediment 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 within the system and is flushed out into the waterways during heavy rainfall. Polluted Source: PVK, a. s. rainwater is not thorough purified, despite being required by both Czech and EU regula- tions. The Prague waterworks are poorly equipped to process rainwater to meet the high demands of current legislation. In meeting these requirements it is going to be necessary to come from original and not redirected wastewater sources. It is vital that the long-term problems with water management infrastructure and recycling are resolved. The supply of energy has improved the state of the infrastructure. Until now, all forms of fuel have been used including solid fuel of uncertain quality. The city is encouraging the change over to better fuels by offering subsidies and following development of the cen- Fuel consumption (in terajoules) tral heating supply and increase in the efficiency of production, distribution and con- 60,000 sumption of energy. 50,000 The information transfer system is developing dynamically in order to satisfy the overall 40,000 demands of the market rather than the city alone. It is vital that Prague secures a reliable 30,000 system of communication for crisis management with preference given to the linking of 20,000 Prague telecommunications networks and integration into the regional and nation-wide security systems and services. The city leadership supports the development and use of 10,000 information systems and databases for the public authorities and general public, alike. 1985 1992 1994 1996 1997 1998 Regular engineering interference into the city's framework disturbs the people and en- coke other solid fuels liquid fuel vironment.

The city has set up a special organization to meet these demands – ROPID (Regional Organizer for Prague Integrated Transport). Various minor public transport operators were enabled to enter onto the transport market within the framework of an integrated system. The tradi- tionally popular and ecologically friendly tram system gives public transport the chance to improve its position in the competition with other forms of transport. That is why the integrated system will count on the tram system in the future as its backbone. 57 Selected activities and policies Total number of km Transport work I 1.1 Active pro public transport policy in running, fares and investments travelled in 1999 distribution • Cover all-important routes by comprehensive connection system and reduce car use 100% on such routes. Pay special attention to the localities of new city centres, new residential 5 300 mil. area and the importance of their transport connection. 80% carkm/year i.e. 97.2% 42% • The "Optimizing Prague's integrated Transport System" program: Ensure reliability, convenient intervals between services and attractive prices of integrated transport.

Optimize investment into the public transport framework but not at the expense of 153 mil. carkm/year quality levels. i.e. 2.8% 58% • The "Public transport is modern" program: Renew and modernize vehicle parks and car transport public transport tracks. Improve the technical level of the tracks and routes and vehicles public transport Source: ÚDI Praha, 1999 themselves with the aim of improving reliability, safety and fluent running, reduce en- ergy demands and effects on the environment (including the use of ecological types of fuel and new fuel systems), simplify traveller orientation and the movement of older or physically challenged people. • The "Green light for trams" and "Green light for buses" programs: Speed up laying the foundations for making surface public transport preferable to private car use on the cur- rent road networks (express public transport lanes, priority at crossroads and protection of tracks/routes in the centre). • Opening of an integrated transport information centre using modern management and information technologies. Ensure its integration into the comprehensive visitor informa- tion system. I 1.2 Decisive role and importance of rail transport in an integrated system and strengthen interest in its use • The "Development of all types of rail transport" program: to develop the tram and metro rail systems. Continue in the "open end" policy allowing further extension of lines and where suitable, surface expansion of underground metro system. Make use of the terminal stations on the underground to resolve suburban transport problems by build- ing further transport terminals and stations. By raising the attraction of the tram network there will be a return to its function of being an impulse for city development. Priority development of the public transport network underground extension to the Northern City Nádraží Holešovice Černý Most Dejvická C B A continue tramline to Malešice Zličín Skalka A B link up Smíchov - expand the tram - Pankrác by tram C Háje system into the Barrandov area develop the underground network into the Krč - Lhotka, Libuš - Písnice areas current underground routes current tramline 58 • Complete the tram and metro system in the city centre at selected stations build a sec- ond vestibule and extend the tram network. Where appropriate the tramlines could be extended into pedestrian zones. • Within the "Optimizing the Prague Integrated Transport System" program motivate and direct the suburban railways to become competitive in certain corridors, when com- pared to car or bus transport. Provide convenient intervals on transport routes to raise the railways share in overall public transport usage, improve the travel culture and tech- nical standards. Periodical updating of regional bus system to keep Prague public trans- port integrated. I 2 Road management and reduction of car use Private car use has become the main cause of pollution and noise in the city. While there has been a steady reduction in the flow of traffic, these cars take up valuable space origi- nally set aside for the townspeople (on the streets and in parking) and are a real physical threat to the people. In order to put a halt on this situation taking measures and against the existing system and regulating transport is unavoidable. In regulating transport, lay the groundwork for optimal levels for the movement of cars by securing, on the one hand, the city's needs and prosperity and, the standard of the city's environment on the other. Selected activities and policies I 2.1 Coherent and comprehensive main road network with priority given to the ring roads • The "Ring Roads Serve and Protect" program: Primarily secure temporary bypasses around Prague, part of which will include the existing system and the rest new construc- tions of inner and outer ring roads, the Vysočanská and Štěrboholská radial roads. Con- tinue the teamwork with the State to build up a ring road that will act as a Prague bypass to protect local roads and routes in city. Secure a step-by-step project for constructing to inner ring road in co-ordination with the former, as the key element in the main road net- work and in redirecting traffic out of the centre. Due to the limited available land in the outer city parts it isn't possible to include demands and capacity as the only decision- making factor in expanding and developing the ring road. Priority development of the main road networks D8 I/9 II/243 II/242 II/241 II/240 II/610 I/7 I/10 industrial by-pass D11 I/6 year 2001 outer MO ring-road SAT D5 outer ring-road inner ring-road I/12 the ring-road sections existing under construction under preparation other main vehicle routes existing II/102 II/603 D1 I/2 under preparation the Prague by-pass II/115 (to be phased in) I/4 59 I 2.2 Reduce car use on the city streets with controls becoming stricter the nearer to the centre you get • No increase in road capacity leading to the city centre. Reduce through traffic in the centre as part of the "Ring Roads Serve and Protect" program. • Optimize traffic use on existing roads, future measures to favour public transport ex- pansion using new technology and knowledge (including information and management technology). • The "Parking Zones" program: to build up a basic network of garages to match the needs and means of residents and to reduce surface parking at the same time. Regulate the capacity, time and economic possibilities of parking in the centre. I 2.3 Reduction of negative ecological effects caused by lorries in city • Encourage greater use of other forms of combined transportation regarding inner city freight traffic: through strengthening rail, water and air services that will lead to a reduc- tion in road freight traffic. Support projects to link up and integrate the transport sys- tems, formulate and initiate the securing of the economic foundations that will support combined transportation and where suitable, demand it. • As part of the "Ring Roads Support and Protect" program limit heavy freight traffic in city (for the outer ring road that means, transit lorries and the inner ring road; all kinds of heavy freight). Demand that all necessary supplies and loading to selected parts of the centre be car- ried out at certain times of the day only and by ecological friendly vehicles. I 3 Integration into the European transport networks Prague lies on along the IV multimodal corridor; Berlin–Prague–Bratislava, with branches connecting with the IV A Prague–Nuremberg route. There are ten railway lines leading into Prague and seven roads of motorway type. Five internationally important roads go through (by pass) Prague, and international express trains to about 20 Euro- pean destinations either stop or terminate in Prague. Air travel is based at Ruzyně Air- port and provides direct flights to all major cities within and without Europe. The stand- ard of long distance and international travel should contribute to making Prague an attractive and pleasant destination or transit centre for visitors. Selected activities and policies I 3.1 Speedy, comfortable and reliable connections and transfers on inter city and international links • Encourage a comprehensive solution that will allow inter city and international traffic interchange and transfer at acceptable distances. • Secure a high quality and comprehensive visitor and traveller information system. I 3.2 Completion of construction and appropriate measures for integration into the European networks • Constructions and rebuild the rail transit corridors for Czech Republic and its connec- tion to Prague Central station (the New connections and Modernization of Prague Cen- tral Station project, east wing). • Construction of ring road to link up all motorways and roads that currently bombard Prague (as part of the "Ring roads Serve and Protect" program). • Develop Ruzyně Airport to appropriate capacity levels. I 3.3 Ensure a lasting harmony between the existence of airports in Prague and their capacity, local environmental restrictions, along the approach roads and air corridors • Secure attractive connections from the city centre to Ruzyně airport (that means; low waiting times, speed transfer, reliability and comfort of service) by means of a new line integrated into the Prague transport network. • Demand adherence to maintaining ecological regulations and limits during investment into increasing the airport's capacity. 60 I 4 Favourable conditions for pedestrians and cyclists Pedestrian movement is concentrated in areas where there are; crossroads, transport ter- minals, a high concentration of workplaces, public facilities and historic sights. Despite this, there are very few pedestrian zones and residential streets being set aside, which would allow convenient and full use of the whole area. Similarly there is a negligible amount cycle routes in Prague, which could be the answer to solving journeys to school and work in mainly residential areas and would also en- courage recreational cycling. It is possible to make marked improvement in the condi- tions for cyclists and pedestrians by fulfilling the aims of "Management and reduction of car use" section. Selected activities and policies I 4.1 Safe and comfortable pedestrian movement in city • Separate the main pedestrian routes from the heavy road traffic and create pleasant pe- destrian and residential zones. Make these areas more attractive (greenery, seating areas and movables, etc.). • Insist on high quality direct access for pedestrians (disabled friendly access), where possible avoid steep gradients. At the same time pay attention to access and entrances into public transport stations and stops. • Reduce the number of man-made and natural barriers to free pedestrian movement be- tween individual parts of the city (transport lines and river Vltava) by building subways, walkways, bridges and passages. I 4.2 Gradual improvement of the conditions for cyclists • Improve the cycle routes to link up residential areas with selected public transport sta- tions and areas designated for recreation, sport or entertainment. • With the co-operation of the Central Bohemian Region, improve the standard of marked cycle routes that link up with long distance routes. I 5 Reliable and effective supply of quality drinking water The supply system connects the resources at Želivka, Jizera/Káraný and Vltava/Podolí. It covers practically the whole of the Prague territory and is almost surrounded by water and therefore, has a reserve capacity. Its main reserves are replenished, but until now it Drinking water supply feeder source Káraný source Podolí Želivka Podolí main Káraný reservoir Želivka + Káraný Želivka + Podolí + Káraný Source: PVK, a. s. feeder source Želivka 61 The age of the waterwork system Water network built during the years 1874–1930 1931–1940 1941–1960 post 1960 Source: PVS, a.s. hasn't been possible to allow for representation (co-operation) with resources from within the whole supply area. If the Želivka plant should breakdown it is not possible to cover Prague's needs through using the Káraný or Podolí resources, either via the main water pipe system or from the out of city reservoirs. An equal problem that affects the whole of Prague is the need to update and modernize the whole water system. It is im- perative due to the losses of drinking water in the system and still unresolved problem of protecting and conserving the water pipes.

Source: PVS, a. s., PVK, a. s. • Avoid and respect the protected band of water pipes used by Prague. I 6 Ecological acceptable water drainage from the city – a com- plex sewer and recycling and purification system, water flow and underground water sources A perspective approach to water drainage and disposal based on separate drainage of polluted and non-polluted water followed by purification of the polluted waters and eco- logically appropriate use of the non-polluted waters in the boroughs. Today's water sys- tem does not allow for this, which is one of the reservations the EU has about the Czech Republic. The way to put this situation right lies in completing the sewer system and re- placement of the deficiencies of the contingency program. It will be a demanding project in both the water flow network and the purification of wastewater. When com- pletion is made of locating the main and local purification plants at ČOV sectors, which were chosen on the grounds of assessment of its waterways, the Czech system will be on a working par with comparable foreign cities. ;; ;; The water drainage situation Categorized according to the possibilities available and difficulties of improvement complicated favourable good potential for full scale works in co-operation with the region The Vltava – Labe river basin boundaries 63 Selected activities and policies I 6.1 Basic improvement in the state and level of sewer system management including water recycling and purification in accordance with EU and Czech legislation • Update the concept and complete the overall water drainage system of the capitol city. • Equip the system with state of the art technology; including anti flood facilities. • The "System Renewal and Development of Waterways" program (including equipment to follow water flow and levels, rebuilding of back up overflow chambers and comple- tion of sewer system). Co-ordinated approach to the updating of the communications, waterways and other civil engineering networks. • Accident prevention (systematic research of the state of the sewers and surrounding banks of the main sewers). • Extend permanent monitoring of rainfall in the city's region.

At times of possible energy crisis it is the state policies and authorities on energy and economy that are relied upon. The city authorities will aim to conserve as much energy and fuel as possible and to make use of existing sources more effective and bring in use of alternative sources, too. In case of limited supply, or even demand, the substitution of natural gas for heating would present the city with a serious problem. The heating supply range of central heating supply (CZT) sources of CZT system housing estates development of city centres main heating lines areas of worse climate conditions Source: IMIP, ÚRM Selected activities and policies I 7.1 Effective and rational use of energy sources and fuels • The "Energy Efficient" program (encouragement of energy efficiency and conservation in heating buildings with emphasis on high rise flats). • Raise the output of the centralized heating supply by using the existing facilities to their full capacity. • Formulate a contingency plan for the Prague energy supply (electricity, gas and heat). • Further give preference to appropriate technology to efficiently reuse waste (the "Waste Management" program). I 7.2 Stop the use of solid fuels of lesser quality, gradual removal of fixed sources of pollution from endangered parts of the city • Lay the groundwork for the use of an island heating system. • The "Clean Energy" program (support of centralized heating supply, introduction of co- generational heating and electrical energy production in suitable localities, the use of solid fuels and air quality monitoring to EU standards). • Secure operation at the Malešice incineration plant to EU regulations. 65 I 8 Information exchange concerning the city and its security to be brought up to European standards Information exchange is the weak link in the securing the safety and interest of Prague in the wider sense despite their development being absolutely vital to the current and fu- ture functioning and safety of the city. The basis for a well functioning information system is its integration and teamwork in its day to day running, as well as during crisis situations. In order to deal with this; it is vital to ensure their compatibility with other higher level/grade systems that encroach into Prague's neighbouring territory. To secure high standards and quality of service; provid- ing adequate levels of openness and accessibility to public and private sectors, residents and visitors alike, is decisive. Selected activities and policies I 8.1 Reliable information exchange for securing public interest in the city • Finish work on the Unified Security System (JBS) for Prague, link it up with higher sys- tems and secure their compatibility, running side by side and operating levels that live up to the demands of crisis management. Create a specialized system of information back up support for the JBS. • The "Deep Conduit Tunnels" program – use of deep conduit tunnels for transfer and civil engineering networks. • Contribute to the completion of a citywide concept in information available for city work and co-ordinate its implementation. • Pave the legislative and technical way for functional transfer of information. I 8.2 Access to quality information services • Lay the groundwork for building up a high capacity Prague telecommunications net- work. • Implement the "INFOnet" program as the technical basis for the realization of the "De- velopment of the Information Society Program" project. 66

Downtown Moms Support Group
The Moms Groups
Monday, April 15, 2013 at 11:30 AM (EDT)
Downtown Moms
Babies 0 - 4 Months and 4 - 12 Months
Mondays, Wendesdays younger babies, Thursdays older babies:)
Babybites is excited to continue our moms group program that we launched in 2008 to Chelsea and Union Square! We are delighted to have connected over 1700 moms through our support group program this year, and excited to bring it to the Downtown moms community!
Offered at two convenient locations - West 20th Street or East 15th Street
Each week, we will come together with a small, supportive group of women to share experiences, ask questions and humorously and compassionately approach motherhood! Led by parent coach, fellow mom and creator of the babybites support group program, Renee Sullivan.
GROUP #1: Mondays 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
GROUP #2: Wednesdays 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
GROUP #3: Thursdays 2:00PM - 3:00 PM
Our new moms groups fill quickly, and typically close out 1-2 weeks before the first gathering. Priority is given to moms currently on the March waitlist.
Do I bring my baby to the group?
Certainly. That being said, if you decide you'd rather leave your baby at home so you can take a break, that's okay too. Do what works best for you each week.
How accesible for strollers is the space? Are there any stairs?
Our location is very mom friendly, no stairs or tight spaces to navigate. Feel free to bring your stroller, or if you are more comfortable with a baby carrier, that's okay too. Whatever works best for you and your baby.
What if I have to miss a session?
Life happens (especially as a new mom!) Do what you can to make it each week, but know that the program is valuable even if you have to miss some sessions. It's more about you getting 6 weeks of support (vs. 6 sessions). Much of the support is what happens between the sessions. One of the best parts? Developing friendships with so many supportive moms.
Do you prorate for missed sessions?
We don't prorate our support groups for missed sessions as it's really about getting 6 weeks of support, resources, and friendships (vs 6 sessions). The group's facilitator often does email follow-up between sessions so you can get clued in to what you missed.
About Babybites Moms Groups:
Becoming a new mom was the most exhilarating, exhausting, and intense journey I'd ever experienced. What I found I needed most was a sense of community, which is what this group offers. Meeting up, learning from, and laughing with other new mothers helps turn an uncertain and potentially scary time into a shared adventure. Renee makes everyone comfortable, and is a reassuring and knowledgeable guide for new moms. - Ellie, mom to Ben
The New Mom's Support Group for babies is a fun and easy way to bond with other moms. The focus is really on the mom, which is so unique in the vast universe of mommy and me classes in NYC. Renee is an excellent facilitator, creating a comfortable, supportive atmosphere in which we were able to gain each other's perspectives and share in the wonderful world of new motherhood. New moms in NYC shouldn't miss the opportunity to be a part of one of these groups! - Hallie, mom to Ana
I enjoyed taking part in the support group. It is great to be with moms and their little ones born around the same time as my daughter Jools. We shared and learned a lot from each other, but the best thing is that we made friends! - Denise, mom to Jools
Welcome to babybites! We are an educational and social group for moms and moms-to-be. Our mission is to provide support, education, and resources to new moms via our groups. Our mom support community offers moms a place to exchange ideas, receive guidance, discuss hot parenting topics and share mom experiences. We look forward to you becoming part of the community!

Dual US-Israeli citizen Ilan Grapel is scheduled to fly from Cairo to Israel
Thursday afternoon in exchange for 25 Egyptian prisoners, after the High Court
of Justice refused two petitions against the deal late Wednesday
evening.The High Court debated the two petitions on Wednesday afternoon
against the deal, but – as it did last week in the Gilad Schalit swap – denied
them on the grounds that these types of exchanges are within the government's
purview. Grapel was arrested in Cairo on June 12 for allegedly spying for
Israel, a charge later lowered to incitement.RELATED:MK Hasson: Ilan Grapel treated fairly in Egyptian prison'Cairo
wary of Egyptian public's response to Grapel deal' 'Egypt
charges Grapel with setting fire to police stations'
The two Israelis who
negotiated Grapel's release with the Egyptians – Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu's envoy Yitzhak Molcho and Kadima MK and former deputy Shin Bet
(Israel Security Agency) head Yisrael Hasson – are scheduled to fly Thursday
afternoon to Cairo with Grapel's mother to retrieve him.Grapel is
expected to land at Ben-Gurion Airport at about 5 p.m., and then drive to
Jerusalem for a brief meeting with Netanyahu.A spokesman for the Prisons
Service said the Egyptian prisoners, who were gathered together at the Beersheba
prison on Wednesday, will be taken to the Taba border crossing with Egypt most
likely Thursday afternoon.All of the Egyptian prisoners, according to
information supplied by the Prisons Service, are serving time for criminal –
rather than terrorist-related – offenses. The group of prisoners also includes
three minors.While Schalit was met upon his release in a
government-organized ceremony at the Tel Nof Air Force Base – by his family,
Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen.
Benny Gantz – no official ceremony was planned for Grapel's return.One government source, explaining the difference in
the reception, said Grapel was not a soldier, but rather a civilian
unjustifiably accused of being a spy.The official said it was not clear
whether Grapel, who was born in the US, but immigrated to Israel and served in
the Paratroopers Brigade, would remain here or return to the US. At the time of
his arrest in June he was a law student at Emory University in
Atlanta.The first petition to the High Court against the deal on
Wednesday was filed by MK Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) and far-right
religious party Eretz Israel Shelanu (Our Land of Israel), and the second was
filed by the Almagor Terror Victims Association.A panel of three
justices, Miriam Naor, Esther Hayut and Isaac Amit, heard the
petitions.Ben-Ari's main argument was that the decision to release the
prisoners was problematic because it was made by Netanyahu's 14- man security
cabinet, not by the government itself.The National Union MK also dubbed
the prisoner release agreement "disproportionate and unreasonable," and said it
differed from the Schalit deal because Grapel "went to Egypt of his own free
will to participate in various activities of extremist
movements."However, Naor pointed out in response that the reasons Grapel
went to Egypt are unknown. In its response to the petition, the state
said the 10 security prisoners included in the deal had been convicted mostly of
weaponstrading offenses, and in one case of belonging to an illegal
organization."None of the prisoners has been convicted of perpetrating
acts of terror or acts to harm human life," the state emphasized.Another
11 prisoners had been mostly convicted of drug-trafficking offenses and the
remaining four had served their prison sentences in full, the state
noted.However, in Wednesday's court hearing Ben-Ari argued that drug
trafficking was a serious offense and suggested that the state could have used
other means to free Grapel, including funding a lawyer to represent
him.The petitioners also argued the state had not given the public
enough time to respond to the prisoner releases.However, Naor pointed
out during the hearing that the list of prisoners and their full details had
been published on the Prisons Service website on Tuesday, 48 hours before their
scheduled release on Thursday.The state had also emphasized that
Israel's relationship with Egypt was important, and the Grapel deal involved
"political considerations regarding our relationship with Egypt."In the
final ruling, the justices noted the state's position that it was important to
carry out the agreement between Israel and Egypt as scheduled, as any delay
could prevent Grapel's release."This court has debated the issue of time
lines in the past, as we do not find that the time lines as set forth in this
case justify our intervention," the justices said in the ruling.

Pirates v London Welsh: Teams
At Mennaye Field, Wednesday May 23, kick-off 7.45pm
Last Updated: 22/05/12 1:18pm
The Cornish Pirates will look to prove a point when they take on London Welsh in the first leg of the RFU Championship play-off, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
The Pirates were beaten finalists 12 months ago when they went down to Worcester - and they are determined to go one better against the Exiles.
The club are also looking to increase the pressure on Cornwall Council, whose decision to vote against assisting with the funding of a new stadium means that the Pirates will be unable to win promotion to the Aviva Premiership for the foreseeable future.
The Pirates have already caused an upset by beating the highly-fancied Bristol in the semi-final - coming out 63-53 winners on aggregate.
Coach Ian Davies has made just the one change to his line-up, with Dave Ewers coming into the back row after Chris Morgan suffered a broken arm against Bristol.
London Welsh will make the trip to Penzance determined to break into the top-flight.
The Exiles insist they will meet the criteria set out for promotion - including playing games at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford - however first they will have end their losing run at the Mennaye.
Welsh have lost on their last three visits to the ground - including 18-10 in last season's play-off semi-final.
However former Scotland international Gordon Ross returns to the line-up following the narrow semi-final success over Bedford Blues.
Ross replaces the benched Seb Jewell in the No.10 jersey, with Simon Whatling dropping out of the squad.
Cornish Pirates: 15 R Cook, 14 G Pointer, 13 S Hill, 12 A Suniula, 11 D Doherty, 10 C Thomas, G 9 Cattle (capt), 8 K Marriott, 7 P Burgess, 6 D Ewers, 5 I Nimmo, 4 L McGlone, 3 A Paver, 2 D Ward, 1C Rimmer.
Replacements: 16 R Storer, 17 R Elloway, 18 R Brits, 19 M Smith, 20 B Maidment, 21 T Kessell, 22 M Evans.
London Welsh: 15 Alex Davies, 14 Nick Scott, 13 James Lewis, 12 Hudson Tonga'uiha*, 11 Joe Ajuwa, 10 Gordon Ross, 9 Jack Moates, 1 Billy Moss, 2 Dan George, 3 James Tideswell, 4 Adam Brown, 5 Matt Corker, 6 Jon Mills (capt), 7 Mike Denbee, 8 Ed Jackson.
Replacements: 16 Vili Ma'asi, 17 Shawn Pittman, 18 Greg Bateman, 19 Gary Johnson, 20 Lee Beach, 21 Rob Lewis, 22 Seb Jewell.
