OGDENSBURG A fan of the Twilight and Harry Potter books series, author Sierra D. Sellers, 20, decided to look outside the mythical genre to inspire young people to read.
She will introduce her work to readers today at the Frederic Remington Art Museums Wild West Barbecue.
I wanted something different from whats out there, Ms. Sellers, 20, said. I grew up with Twilight and Harry Potter, and one day I wanted to read something that was different something that wasnt vampires, wizards and fallen angels.
Instead, Ms. Sellerss first self-published book, The Family Ladro, centers on an organized crime family.
Ive always liked the idea of thieves and crime, Ms. Sellers said. Writing-wise, youre able to cover a lot of different genres in one with that subject matter.
An Ogdensburg native, Ms. Sellers is majoring in creative writing and minoring in art history at Wells College, Aurora.
As part of completing the requirements of her art history minor, she is interning at the Frederic Remington Art Museum this summer.
With support from staff, Ms. Sellers will be holding a book signing during the museums Wild West Barbecue from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday or until sold out.
Laura A. Foster, the museums interim executive director and curator, said the barbecue will take place after the museums 90th anniversary.
We did it last year, and were doing it much bigger and better this year, Ms. Foster said. There will be a fanfare of fun. Weve got a little bit of everything.
The barbecue will be catered by Parker Piercy of PCP BBQ and is $12 for adults and $6 for children. Each ticket purchase includes a meal, nonalcoholic beverage and live entertainment.
The barbecue is presented by Pepsi-Cola Ogdensburg Bottlers. Music will be provided by Carrie Woodcock-Montgomery and Friends, Carl Perkins and Amy Rivera.
There will be art for children at Kids Place and a sale in the museum gift shop.
We will have a very awesome line of tooled leather handbags with a Southwestern flair and new jewelry. Each new jewelry piece is unique and inspired as an artistic response to individual works by Frederic Remington, Ms. Foster said.
Its no surprise the barbecue was inspired by Remington himself, whose works reflect a passion for the Old West.
His passions for his subjects were romantic and exciting, Ms. Foster said. He made Americas West a faraway place for many magical.
All proceeds from the event will support the museum.
We will debut our new line of Ogdensburg souvenirs, including T-shirts and hats, Ms. Foster said. We welcome friends old and new to come out and check them out.

Comments about Osprey Kestrel 38 Backpack:
This is a great do it all pack. Great if you have a ton of stuff to carry to the crag, a night out on the trail with friends, or jet setting to another part of the world. It has a minimalistic amount of space for weekend/weeklong travel which I really like. It keeps me from carrying too much stuff in my pack. Normally I would suggest for people to carry 1/4 to a 1/3 of their weight max. Do not overload this pack -- it's not meant for a super heavy load. I would look at it's "comfort carrying zone" and try not to max it out.
You get a lot for the price compared to other brands.

text: Emergency fire-fighting crews from Wellington and Price battle a blaze last Thursday afternoon in Miller Creek. The billowing column of smoke could be viewed from locations across the county. The July 10 fire reportedly started in a trailer used for storage and spread to a work area filled with wood outside the trailer. The flames threatened a large band saw and woodworking equipment as fire fighters struggled to control the blaze in the 100 degree plus heat of the midday sun. It appeared the trailer, its contents and much of the equipment were a complete loss.

The 6th smallest state in the US is also one of its most beautiful. Vermont, located in New England and flanked by Lake Champlain, is a top spot to visit in every season. You like maple syrup? Vermont has it! It is the #1 producer of maple syrup in the country. The state capital, Montpelier is the smallest capital in the United States with a population of under 8000. A major attraction in Vermont are the Green Mountains, with plenty of hiking and biking trails for all skill levels.
Some very famous brands are also based in Vermont like the Ben & Jerry's Factory (take a tour and try their flavor of the month, you won't be disappointed!) Burton snowboards, and Cabot Creamery.
For those looking to visit the beautiful state of Vermont, why not try out these popular vacation areas:
Stowe: Spend the winter in Stowe on Mount Marshfield (the highest point in Vermont) skiing, snowshoeing, curling up next to a roaring fire, and enjoying beautiful views.
Killington: There are 71 miles of ski trails in Killington powdered by 250 inches of natural snowfall per year. Skiing not your thing? 180,000 bottles of Long Trail beer are consumed yearly in the town.
Manchester: Travelers looking for nightlife in Vermont could do well visiting Manchester where the nightlife is buoyed by nearby St. Anselm's college.
Montpelier: The Capital of Vermont The adventurous traveler should raft down the challenging Winooski River. For the more artistic, Montpelier also offers a number of cultural pursuits, from numerous galleries and museums to the gold-domed State House. Fun fact: it is the only state capital that does not have a McDonalds located in it.
Experience Vermont like a local by staying in a vacation rental instead of a hotel or motel. With amenities and privacy of home, plus a cheaper rate on average, you can stay right on the mountain for a fraction of the price.

This show was pure musical theatre. Rihanna cavorted on stage with dancers and trapeze artists, she had several costume changes, she sat on a tank, disappeared through the stage and was constantly on the move. She started with Russian Roulette and finished with Umbrella. In between she sang all her… (cont'd) John from Chislehurst

Maintenance Outages – Plan On It
If you receive notice of a maintenance outage, it usually means important upgrades are coming to your neighborhood. We isolate the smallest possible area and provide advance notice so you can plan and enjoy your day.
Prep Work: How to Plan
You'll usually be provided with at least 3 days advance notice before a maintenance outage, and we'll update you with changes whenever possible. Please contact us beforehand at 1-800-655-4555 if you plan to use a backup generator, so we can arrange to protect our crews from the danger of electrical backfeed. Want more ways to minimize interruption and inconvenience?More Less
Preparation Checklist
- Make sure food stays as cold as possible by keeping refrigerator and freezer doors closed and placing blocks of ice inside. Learn More
- Learn how to manually open security gates and garage doors.
- Notify any security companies that monitor your home or business.
- Protect computers, televisions and other sensitive equipment by unplugging them.
- If your business has no backup power supply, consider renting one.
Life Support Equipment
If you or anyone who lives with you full-time has a medical condition that requires electricity-powered life support equipment, be sure your back-up power system is in place, or make other plans for health and welfare during an outage.
Outage Day: What to Expect
A maintenance outage may not begin or end at the precise times indicated on your notice, and don't be surprised if your power is turned off and on more than once during the outage period — this is normal. For your convenience, we isolate the area where work is needed and complete it as safely and quickly as possible, so we can get your power back on.Outage Day: What to Expect Learn More

The cooling is extremely gentle on your yeast, changing wort temperatures at about a degree an hour. It can get to and hold your ale fermentation temperatures of 65-72 Fahrenheit all the way up to ambient temps of 100 Fahrenheit. In addition, it can get to and hold lager fermentation temperatures of 48-52 Fahrenheit all the way up to ambient temperatures of 80 Fahrenheit.
The Leg Extension Option (CONP769) is needed if you wish to gravity feed into a keg. If you would like to use CO2 to push your beer into a keg, you will need the CO2 Adapter Package (CONP775).
The domed lid has it's own cover, made from our heavy-duty foam insulation, for better temperature control.
Cooling is made to work with 20 to 22 gallon batches. Please note that when dropping temperature, your fermenting wort will contract and may pull liquid from your blowoff bucket into the fermenter. This may also occur when dumping trub from the bottom port, or when racking from the racking arm.

Being able to consume information when and where you want is one of the many advantages of the mobile world. Earlier in the week we talked about mobile information transfer and how it could work with Tag. Here's an actual Tag implementation that is doing just that.
A platform within Microsoft's Corporate Citizenship is using Tag to share its message. The corporate responsibility program focuses on promoting social good and economic opportunity through technology, people, partnerships and business. One of the features on its website is the Local Impact Map application, which is a global storytelling platform that shares Corporate Citizenship's vast community investments. It contains more than 1,700 stories from 100 plus countries, so there's a lot of information.
One of the unique aspects of the application is that if users are reading a story and want to "take it with them" to read later on, they can select the "View on Mobile" tab and it generates a Tag. Each story in the app is also replicated as an HTML page so readers can quickly pull it up on their smartphone after they've scanned the Tag.
The Local Impact Map app is a great use of Tag to create connected experiences across platforms.
What do you think about using Tag to transfer information among various devices? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

Electromagnetic Induction
Is there a physics hall of fame? If not, then what the heck is electromagnetic induction? Find out in this BrainPOP movie, in which Tim and Moby teach you all about this phunky physical phenomenon! You'll learn how magnetic fields can create — or induce — an electric current in a wire, and how current running through wires can also create a magnetic field. The discovery of electromagnetic induction was one of the most important advances in the history of science, and Tim and Moby will also tell you how it's responsible for the widespread use of electricity in the world today. Maybe induction does deserve an award!

In the 1600's, British physicist Isaac Newton published his now-famous work on the physics of moving objects. More than 300 years later, Tim and Moby tackle the same topic in this BrainPOP movie on forces! They use bumper cars to illustrate how forces can cause objects to speed up, slow down, or change direction, and they'll teach you about the concepts of friction and the gravitational constant. You'll also learn how to calculate force with a special equation. May the force be with you!

Shopping for a canoe or kayak? Watch Rock/Creek paddling expert Sara Horne's boating intro!
"Getting into paddling can be pretty confusing. There are a zillion different boat options, and it can be pretty tough to decide what kind of canoe or kayak is best for what you'd like to do. Do you need a sea kayak, a recreational kayak or a touring kayak? Do you want to run creeks with multiple whitewater rapids, or load up your boat with a weekend's camping gear and paddle from island to island?"

Comments about Wilderness Systems Tempest 170 Expedition Kayak:
My son pushed me to buy Tempest from Rock Creek rather than Tsunami. I have loved the handling and speed on Tn River and Lake Ocoee, but have used on smaller rivers like the Flint. For the speed you give up some stability, but it is worth it. Great adjustable seat and adjustable foot supports have allowed long periods between stops. I transport on Pathfinder and load and unload by myself. It is not light, but is managable out of water with cart wheels.

Shogun Front Axle Sliders Honda CBR600RR
The makers of Shogun frame sliders up the ante with Shogun axle sliders.
Shogun axle sliders are manufactured to the same precision and quality control standards as Shogun frame sliders. Axle sliders help protect expensive suspension components in the event of a crash and may significantly reduce the cost of repair. Each slider is made of the same proprietary plastics blend as Shogun frame sliders. Each UV resistant puck is shaped to accommodate a spool lift stand, in addition to other types of stands. Several Shogun Axle slider kits like Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha units come with a CNC machined stainless steel axle nut. Some other manufacturers of axle sliders do not let the rider know that there is a lot of unnecessary effort involved in the installation of their kits. No need to drill through your stock axle nut – Shogun provides one for you that is the same grade or better than OEM. Rod component is machined, not an all-thread piece. A machined rod has fewer stress risers than all thread and therefore greater structural integrity during a crash. Well written instructions with color photos make installing each unit fast and easy, with minimal modification necessary to your motorcycle.
Sold as a pair.
Have a functionality, fit, or otherwise product-specific question about the Shogun Front Axle Sliders Honda CBR600RR 2013-2015? Ask it here! If you have a customer service or shipping question, please direct it to our Customer Service department.

The Jewish Independent was an English-language weekly newspaper
published in Cleveland from 1906 to 1964.
When he died in 1917, he was succeeded by his brother, Leo, who managed the paper for nearly 50 years.
This database is mainly composed of extracts of vital information from obituaries.
Pre 1906 information mostly comes from the Jewish Review & Observer, another weekly, which began publication in 1899. Post 1964 information was extracted from The Cleveland Jewish News.
This database covers about 1898-1982. It evolved as it grew - therefore not every single entry coincides with an obituary.
The Western Reserve Historical Society's Cleveland Jewish Archives also has an index of the Jewish Independent and Jewish Review and Observer, and an index of the J. D. Deutsch Funeral Home and Crematory Records, 1909-1960, both of which are accessible online.

I know I'm an issue behind, but a friend and I spent this afternoon with our gelatin plates, paint and fabric and had a wonderful time playing. What we want to know is how Frances Holliday Alford made the star burst patterns on her plates. We tried to duplicate it but weren't very successful.
Glad you had a great time trying. I have the issue but have not had the time lately to do it. Maybe someone else can help you with that pattern.
Belinda aka crazyartgirl
Blog: http://alteredbelly.blogspot.com/
I tried the painting ,and gelatin monoprint, and then tried to free motion quilt on top
the paint was thick and hard feeling, not soft to the touch,did I use the wrong kind of paint?
The directions don't say what kind of paint is used. Anyone has an idea?
We started out using Golden fluid acrylics and they dried stiff. When we switched to Pebeo Setacolor paints the fabrics stayed soft. We learned a lot and are eager to try it again.
I can answer that. I put paint on the gelatin plate and lay the fabric on top. Starting from the center, I pushed the paint outward in all directions. When the fabric was lifted, the paint had formed the starburst pattern. I further enhanced this with more paint and with quilting threads. I am glad you like this.
Frances Holliday Alford
If your paint was too thick, try using it more watered down. I used a combination of paints, including lumieres, and other fabric paints. I also used glitter glue from Michaels. The images were emphasized later with fabric markers and other paint on brushes. Seta Color and Tusinko Inks are also good choices.

Welcome to Spirit Steps
We are coming to the climax of the Day of Pentecost....Peter has finished his sermon . What happens next is amazing.. it is awesome and it can and will happen today.. amen. I hope you are enjoying these studies.
Please click on the links at the bottom to view the featured page on the website and also pass on this message to all your friends and contacts.
God bless you
Acts 2
38And Peter answered them, Repent (change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, [even] to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.
40And [Peter] [i]solemnly and earnestly witnessed (testified) and admonished (exhorted) with much more continuous speaking and warned (reproved, advised, encouraged) them, saying, Be saved from this crooked (perverse, wicked, unjust) generation.
41Therefore those who accepted and welcomed his message were baptized, and there were added that day about 3,000 souls.
In verse 37 of this chapter, we observed that the people, who were listening to Peter's sermon, were cut to the heart and asked what should they do.
We noticed that when the gospel is preached in power and authority and Jesus is the One lifted up, that the Holy Spirit works IN POWER.
It reminds me of the words in Hebrews 4:
12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
We are going to look at Peter's response to the question asked in Verse 37.
The first word, he utters in answering their question is.. REPENT. not even in those days was it popular to say this word and although it is not popular today, we must preach repentance! Amen. Paul says to Timothy.. to Preach the Gospel.. in and out of season..2 Timothy 4:2.
Whether it is popular or not to preach repentance, we must preach it. This is one word that that the world doesn't want to hear, because it comes with the implication, that we have something to turn from .. Amen.
To repent.. means to turn from sin and head in the opposite direction. It means you literally reject the way of sin and that it becomes something that you hate.
If to repent was a personal and heart thing, then to be BAPTISED was and is a very public thing. Now I realise that there are many of you who do not believe in it.
Well Jesus practised it and here, right at the start of the Church's existence, we have it embedded into the church fabric so to speak.
Baptism by full immersion is biblical my friend, it is a sign to the world, that you are identified with Christ - Romans chapter 6. I would encourage you to seek the Lord on this matter.
Aren't verses 38-39 amazing... all through Old Testament, the Holy Spirit was on the Mighty men of God.. now it was being promised to the Jews.. to live inside of them.. and that promise still stands today....Amen
Peter stated that this world was perverse and corrupt, strong words. He had great boldness and was only interested in one thing and that was saving souls.. he was not interested in bowing down to political correctness or to the the world's standards. He and the apostles were not politically correct.. instead that sought to stand against the authorities, who were corrupt. Amen! If it was corrupt and perverse in the days of the apostles, I wonder what words they would use , if they were around today?
We must always be obedient to Governments, but if they break God's law, we must never be afraid to stand up for our Lord and say that what they are doing is not right and is wrong in the eyes of the Lord. Remember that we are the Lord's voice on the earth.
Three thousands souls were converted.. wow.. now that's amazing and that they were all baptised on the same day.. it would have gone on all night.. oh! for that to happen in today's world. It can still happen.. has the Lord changed?. Do you or your church believe it can still happen today?
The First church was so strong, because of the first sermon.. they knew.. each and every one of them, what they were saved from.. the power and penalty of sin, through the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus. They produced mighty men and women of God, because these were people who had turned and repented of their sins and were walking in God's way.
Church, we need to preach repentance. God saves and gives us so much.. but He demands repentance from us.. probably the KEY attribute of the Christian.. is that he/she has a repentant heart. Even if they do sin.. it is not long before their heart cry is like David's ...
Psalm 51:
1HAVE MERCY upon me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to the multitude of Your tender mercy and loving-kindness blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly] from my iniquity and guilt and cleanse me and make me wholly pure from my sin!
3For I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them; my sin is ever before me.
4Against You, You only, have I sinned and done that which is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified in Your sentence and faultless in Your judgment.
May God Bless you

And The Webby Winner Is: Picturing Science
by AMNH on
The Museum's video featuring the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies has been selected as the winner of a 2012 Webby Award in the Technology category. The Webby Awards recognize Internet excellence, and members of The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences choose the winners in each category.
New Research on Dinosaur Decline

Were dinosaurs already undergoing a long-term decline before an asteroid hit at the end of the Cretaceous about 65.5 million years ago? A new study led by Museum scientists gives a multifaceted answer.
A Taste of Tequila and Chili Peppers
by AMNH on
Chili peppers, a spicy fruit featured in cuisines around the world, were used in Mexico long before going global, as was the agave-derived distilled drink tequila. This week, the Museum's Adventures in the Global Kitchen series presents Tequila and Chilies, which will include a conversation with Juan Carlos Aguirre, the executive director of Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders. Aguirre, who will be providing samplings of chili-based dishes from across Mexico alongside tequila from Richard Sandoval Restaurants, recently offered a quick history lesson about the ubiquitous chili pepper.
The Evolution of Skin
by AMNH on
Skin is the body's largest organ, and one with a complex cultural and evolutionary past. At the upcoming SciCafe on Wednesday, May 2, biological anthropologist Nina Jablonski will discuss how human skin evolved, particularly as an adaptation to ultraviolet radiation. She recently answered a few questions about skin and its role in our lives.
When did you decide to study the history of human skin?
Nina Jablonski: By accident. About 23 years ago, a colleague asked me to give a lecture to his class about skin because he was going to be out of town for a conference. I obliged. In preparing for the lecture, I realized just how little had been written about the evolution and meaning of human skin.
Curator John Sparks on Fieldwork in Extreme Environments
by AMNH on
Ichthyologist John Sparks, curator of Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, recalls two challenging expeditions in Madagascar in search of new species of blind cavefishes. Read an excerpt of the interview below.
We were in Ankarana Reserve in far northern Madagascar, a surreal landscape of exposed karst formations. These are one-of-a-kind formations of permeable rocks, with rivers and streams in between. It's kind of like Swiss cheese, with water running through it. We were looking for a species of blind cavefish endemic to this region.
But first, we had to make our way through the piles of bat guano [dung]. The cavefishes, which lack pigment and have no eyes, eat some of the invertebrates that are in the water, but a lot of them survive mainly on guano. There are enormous piles of it in these caves, 20- to 30-foot mounds. When you get closer, the mounds seem to come alive, with millions of clicking, rustling cockroaches that run over your feet and up your legs. It's just like a scene out of an Indiana Jones movie.

PRICE/SALT LAKE CITY - Chris Himonas was surrounded by her loving family as she left this world for the next on Dec. 15, 2011.
Born Nov. 22, 1934, in Gavalohori, Crete, Greece, to Alexander and Koula Papathakis Proestakis, she left Greece in 1956 and immigrated first to Canada and then to the United States. She married George Himonas in the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price on Nov. 25, 1962.
Chris was an independent, strong-willed woman who set her own course. She was a hairdresser by training and opened her own beauty shop in the early 1970s. She followed this path until 2008, when she and George moved to Salt Lake City to be nearer to their son Deno, daughter-in-law Lisa, and granddaughters Alexa and Kate. There is much more to her amazing story, but Chris insisted we keep this short-we are honoring her wishes.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Alexandra Peperakis, Andigoni Zografakis, Maria Kanakakis, brother Mike Proestakis, brothers-in-law Mike Himonas, Angelo Peperakis, Manoli Zografakis, Pavlo Kanakakis, and Haralambos Daskalogiani, sister-in-law Stacy Himonas, mother-in-law Athena Kontas, and father in-law, Gust Himonas.
She is survived by her husband, George Himonas; son, Deno (Lisa) Himonas; granddaughters, Alexa and Kate; sisters, Zoe Peperakis, Tasia Peperakis (Mihali), and Vasiliki Daskalogiani; brothers, Nick Proestakis (Athena) and Paris Proestakis (Kaliope); in-laws, Gust Himonas (Vale), Nick Kontas (Joyce), Frank Kontas (BoAnn), Marika Proestakis, and many loving nieces and nephews.
A viewing was held Dec. 17, 2011, at Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 E. Main Street, Price, with the Trisagion Service immediately following. Funeral service, was Dec. 17, 2011 at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price. Interment was at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends may share memories of Chris at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.
The family requests donations to the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 61 South, 200 East, Price, Utah 84501.

It's not very often that something I read makes me want to jack in my lovely job at Plus and return to study and research. But that is just what happened when reading Sync by Steven Strogatz.
If the quest for a physical theory of everything, and some of the strange concepts that have sprung from it, strikes you as somewhat mystical, then this is just the book you need to explore the idea further.
When Number story first landed on my desk I was struck by its prettiness. With its tasteful and slightly old-fashioned cover design, the unusually compact format for a hardback, and the unassuming title, this book clearly isn't desperate for attention. So I was intrigued to find out whether this quiet confidence is justified by its content, and I'm glad to report that it is.
The Magic Numbers of the Professor revolves around a fictional professor and a huge range of magical numbers. Written in a narrative style, the book documents a series of visits the Professor makes from America to Ireland to visit Owen O'Shea, the author of both this book and a fictional column within the story.
It's not often I get misty-eyed reading a book about mathematics, but that was just what happened when I read this, and several other poems, in the poetry collection Strange Attractors: Poems of love and mathematics.
We've all been there. You're in a bar with a group of friends. The night draws in. The empties pile up. The conversation turns to sublime speculation and ridiculous argument. How many golf balls would you need to circle the Earth? What's the risk of being killed by a shark? How efficient is wind power? How far does your average Premiership footballer run in a game? How can we put an end to all these questions and go home?

Most tourist sites are within the city centre, which is easy to get around on foot; however, there is an extensive public transport network consisting of buses, trolley buses, minibuses and a fast three-line underground metro service. The metro is especially useful to get to Piraeus to catch a boat to the islands. Transport is cheap, but often overcrowded, especially during the siesta rush hour (1-3pm), and operates until midnight. A limited night bus service operates along major routes. Bus and metro tickets are not transferable, but a daily pass can be used on both. Although taxis are plentiful it may be difficult to get one during the siesta rush hour, and it is not unusual to share the ride with other passengers. It is often easier to phone ahead for a cab. Taxis are inexpensive, but always check that the meter is on and set to the minimum fare as drivers often attempt to overcharge tourists. Legitimate surcharges can increase the final bill, but these should be displayed on the dashboard. Driving in Athens is not recommended; cars are banned from the commercial centre, and parking anywhere is near impossible.
GMT +2 (GMT +3 between last Sunday in March and last Sunday in October).
Electrical current is 220 volts and 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin and the round three-pin.
The official currency is the Euro (EUR), which is divided into 100 cents. Banks and bureaux de change are widely available and major credit cards are accepted. ATMs are widespread and are generally the cheapest and most convenient method of obtaining euros.
The international access code for Greece is +30. There are often surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use OTE (Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation) offices for local and international calls. Calls can also be made from public card phone booths and cards can be bought from kiosks or OTE offices. Local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts, and are cheaper than accessing the internet from hotels.

Athens is one of the sunniest cities in Europe, with a semi-arid climate and little rainfall, although short, heavy showers do fall during the cooler months (mid-October to mid-April). Summers are very hot and smoggy, and heat waves are common during July and August when the mercury can soar to over 104°F (40ºC). Winters are mild and sunny although frost can occur and nights can be cold. The best time to travel to Athens is during the cooler, fine weather of spring and early summer, between late April and early June. Autumn (September and October) can also be a pleasant time. Although summer can be oppressively hot it is still peak tourist season and the period when the beaches and attractions are most crowded.
Metro Line 3 connects the airport with central Athens. The airport is also served by four public bus routes, which connect to destinations in the greater area of Athens and Piraeus, with buses running frequently day and night. Athens International is also connected to Athens Central Railway Station (Larissis Station) by the Suburban Rail line.
Avis, Hertz, National, Budget, Europcar and Sixt are all represented at the airport.
A taxi to the centre of the Athens costs about €35 during the day, but substantially more at night. The journey takes roughly half an hour to an hour depending on the traffic. Taxis can be found at the designated taxi waiting area located at Exit 3 of the main Arrivals level.
The two terminals are connected by a walkway.
The airport features banks and ATMs, currency exchange services, a tax refund desk, travel agencies, conference facilities, a business centre, a tourist information desk, numerous shops and restaurants, a food court, and an archaeological museum.
There is short and long-term parking available in the airport; short-term parking is on the arrivals level and costs €3.80 for the first hour (up to 20 minutes are free), while long-term parking is found across the access road in P3 and costs €13 for the first day and €39 for a week. Long-term parking is connected to the terminal by a free shuttle.
Wifi is free for the first 60 minutes, and additional browsing time can be purchased.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock futures gained Monday after equipment-maker Caterpillar Inc. reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit and orders for durable goods jumped in December.
Caterpillar CAT, -0.28% shares climbed 2.1% in premarket trade after the blue-chip company reported fourth-quarter profit that beat expectations. Read: Caterpillar's fourth-quarter profit drops 55%.
Stock-index futures added to modest gains after the Commerce Department reported orders for big-ticket U.S. goods rose 4.6% last month.
S&P 500 Index futures US:SPH3 rose 2.5 points, or 0.2%, to 1,498.20, while futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJH3 gained 30 points, or 0.2%, to 13,842. Nasdaq 100 futures US:NDH3 US:NDH3 rose 3.25 points, or 0.1%, to 2,731.25.
Wall Street rose Friday, with the S&P 500 SPX, -0.33% closing above the 1,500 level for the first time since 2007.
Cohen's contrarian view on deficits
Abby Joseph Cohen, senior investment strategist for Goldman Sachs, puts an optimistic spin on the federal budget deficit, explains why stocks are inexpensive and makes the case for investing in Bristol-Myers Squibb.
"Stocks are strong. The next point that needs to be addressed is that stocks are very extended in the short term and a light-volume pullback would do wonders to restore the health of this rally," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of New York-based Sarhan Capital, in a note.
Data points and the Fed
A stream of top-tier economic data, culminating Friday with the release of U.S. nonfarm payrolls and other employment figures for January, is on tap this week. The Federal Reserve concludes its first policy meeting of 2013 on Wednesday. See: Wall Street's 'Super Bowl' set to kick off.
Budget concerns may also be in the mix after Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee and the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, said he expects steep automatic cuts in federal spending to take place March 1. Read about Ryan's comments.
No policy changes are expected from the Fed this week, but investors will be on the lookout for further clues to policy makers' assessment of the economic recovery. The U.S. central bank last year said it was committed to holding interest rates near zero as long as unemployment remained above 6.5% and inflation remained below 2.5%.
It's less clear, however, what it would take to get the Fed to end its open-ended third round of quantitative easing, widely known as QE3, according to Philip Marey, senior U.S. strategist at Rabobank International.
Minutes of previous Fed meetings have highlighted a wide divergence of opinion over the potential time frame for the program. The liquidity boost provided by the Fed's QE program has been credited with helping to lift stocks, commodities and other so-called risk assets in recent years.

"I brought these for my wife's baby shower and I got to say I'm impressed with the quality of the cards plus the RSVP service that comes with it."
"I am one very happy customer. I ordered these invitations from Australia and they were delivered much quicker than the estimated delivery date. Card is nice and thick and the rounded edges are cut neatly. Colour is bright and good quality. Had a photo of bub's 20 week scan printed on the back of the invite along with some writing about gift ideas and this side also printed perfectly. Very happy with these invitations and would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"Over all i loved how it turned out! i do wish you could fit more writing in the spaces. i liked how you could put a picture on the back as well!"
"this card was easy to put together, easy to find on internet, easy to decide script, and most important of all it came to my front door in just a few days. Much faster than they promised. Thank you --we love the cards. Nannie"
"Overall I'm really happy with this purchase. The quality of the invite is great. It's heavy cardstock. I was also pleased that the envelopes weren't flimsy, thin pieces of paper. I used this as a gender neutral invitation. I wanted to use an invite that allowed me to include a photo, but that didn't require several photo's on the front of the invite. This was one of the few invites that allowed me to do that. I was able to upload a sonogram picture on the front and I used a phote of my bump on the back of the invite. I appreciated that I was able to include information on the back of the invite because there isn't a lot of room for additional info on the front. The price was relatively inexpensive compared to several other sites/invites I looked at. I needed to expedite the shipping. I received the invites 3 days after placing my order, so I was very pleased."

Help Center
Local Navigation
Best practice: Creating effective resources
In the BlackBerry® device UI, images are often layered upon one another. For example, the Home screen icons overlay a background image, and the application menus and dialog boxes overlay the application backgrounds. You should consider how images interact with one another in the UI so that they do not hinder the BlackBerry device user's ability to navigate around the UI and use the device.
- Limit the number of colors on a screen: Too many colors on a screen can result in visual overload for a user, or negatively affect a user's ability to read text or identify icons, and can hinder navigation.
- Background images should be fairly uniform in color and patterns should be subtle so that they do not overpower the text on controls such as menus, buttons, or dialog boxes.
- On the Home screen, the background should not detract from the icons and text. Limit the use of bolder colors to the icon and text elements, and make sure that the background has a lower color saturation.
- Use complementing colors: A simple color palette that contains colors that complement each other enhances the users ability to read and navigate the BlackBerry UI.
- Define borders for control elements: Borders around control elements separate them from the screen content that they overlay.

Office of Newborn Screening
Transit Time Project
News - How Newborn Screening was Revamped in Arizona
Sending samples timely around the holidays can be tricky; follow the schedule to be prepared. Click here to see the 2015 Holiday Schedule for courier pickups.
Learn how Arizona is participating in a national CoIIN initiative to improve timeliness of bloodspot samples delivered to the State Lab. What is that you ask? Click here to learn more.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently accessed de-identified information for Newborn Screening Programs nationwide through an open-records request. The Sentinel published their findings on delays in newborn screening testing due to delayed bloodspot delivery to the laboratory for testing (transit time). These findings revealed many opportunities for improvement.
In an effort to improve services to newborns and families, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) developed an internal taskforce to lead newborn screening transit time initiatives, effective January 2014. ADHS is committed to transparency, accountability, and increased partnership as stakeholder's progress towards meeting this new statewide goal.
CoIIN stands for Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network. Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Networks are technology-enabled teams that tackle a common problem. The originator of the term describes a CoIIN as a "cyberteam of self-motivated people with a collective vision, that innovatively collaborate by sharing ideas, information, and work enabled by technology."
What does the Newborn Screening Transit Time Project offer?
- Information about the Newborn Screening Transit Time Project and new statewide goal
- Monthly performance reports for Arizona birth hospitals
- Answers to frequently asked questions about transit time
- Links to valuable resources
- Ability to request a site visit
What is the new goal for Arizona birth hospitals?
By July 1, 2014, 95% of all newborn screening bloodspots (initial screens) will be received at the Arizona State Laboratory within three (3) days of collection.
How is progress towards the transit time goal measured?
The ultimate goal is to ensure timely testing and early detection of rare congenital disorders in all newborns, therefore measures of success have been developed. A critical result that can be measured is referred to as transit time. Transit time is defined as the number of days between the date of blood collection and date of receiving the bloodspot in the Arizona State Laboratory. Transit time includes a series of chronological steps (i.e., drying and shipping via courier) that must occur within three days of collection from the time of bloodspot specimen collection to be considered acceptable.
Hospitals will have access to two transit time performance reports; mean days and acceptance rate. These two performance reports should be used in combination to help determine progress towards the goal.
- The mean day performance report provides hospitals with the average transit time for all initial screens sent to the Arizona State Laboratory. Initial screens that arrive at the Arizona State Laboratory after three days negatively impacts the hospital's acceptance rate. Hospitals are required to have a "mean day" of less than or equal to three days.
- The initial screens received within 3 days performance report provides hospitals with the percentage of the initial screens that were received at the Arizona State Laboratory within three days of bloodspot collection. Initial bloodspots that have a transit time exceeding three days negatively impact the hospital's performance and can result in the delayed detection of a congenital disorder. Ideally hospitals should strive to achieve (target) a 95% or greater to meet the statewide goal.
Hospitals that have achieved a mean day transit time of three days or less but have an acceptance rate of less that 95% are encouraged to review internal protocols to eliminate the outliers that are negatively impacting their performance.
What are the results for July 2015 data?
In July 2015, 99% of the initial screens arrived to the Arizona State Laboratory within three days of collection*. July 2015 statistics reveal a 32% improvement in bloodspot specimen transit time for Arizona birth hospitals when compared to the baseline (2013) data of 67%.
*The transit time is the measurement (days) between the point of collection at the hospital to point of receipt at the laboratory. The statistics are inclusive of one day.

State Representative Joe Straus (R-San Antonio) was elected Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives as the first order of business in the 2013 legislative session. He fended off a challenge by Representative David Simpson (R-Longview), the state representative who made national news last session with his TSA Anti-Groping bill. The Speaker of the House vote was by acclamation rather than a roll-call vote. Representative David Simpson (R-Longview) had earlier indicated he would stay in the race up to a roll call vote, but changed his mind at the request of a number of his supporters. In his withdrawal speech, Simpson said:
If fear of retribution were not so very real, conscientious support for an alternative choice for Speaker would not cause such trepidation. But since it is, and absent a certainty of winning this contest, at the request of my colleagues, I withdraw my candidacy.
Alice Linahan, Director of Women on the Wall (WOW), said she spoke with a number of state representatives who indicated fear of retribution if they voted for Simpson. The speaker's office in Texas has become a powerful position appointing 72 percent of the committee chairmen. Many people consider the choice of speaker to be one of the most important votes in a legislative session. In the Texas Legislature, a chairman of a substantive committee can keep a bill from passing by never holding a hearing on it. If a bill has a hearing and is favorably voted by the substantive committee, it's then forwarded to the Calendars Committee which decides if and when to schedule it for consideration on the floor.

LEWISTON Freshman Steve Perry made a memorable debut in goal for the Clarkson University hockey team on Sunday afternoon, backstopping the Golden Knights to a 2-0 victory on the road over 20th-ranked Niagara University.
Making his first collegiate appearance, Perry was composed throughout the game, posting 10 saves in the opening 20 minutes, nine more in the second period and 11 third-period stops for a total of 30 saves.
He became the first rookie netminder for the Golden Knights to record a shutout in his opening game in 27 years.
Jason Poirier, who blanked Rochester Institute of Technology 3-0 on Oct. 25, 1986, also with 30 saves, was the last Golden Knight goalie to begin his career with a shutout.
Perry kept the Niagara power play off the scoreboard with 12 saves in shutting down all five of the Purple Eagles man-advantage opportunities.
Clarkson defeated Niagara 2-1 in the season-opener on Saturday, snapping the Purple Eagles 22-game home unbeaten streak at Dwyer Arena.
After a scoreless opening 20 minutes on Sunday, Clarkson took control in the middle frame with a pair of goals.
Working on its second man-advantage opportunity, the Knights converted when junior Joe Zarbo finished an odd-man rush with senior Allan McPherson.
Zarbo, who led Clarkson in goals last season, took a pass at the top of the circles from McPherson and fired off a quick shot from the slot for his 17th career tally at 8 minutes, 3 seconds. Sophomore Pat Megannety also assisted.
Strong all game on faceoffs, Clarkson made it 2-0 after winning an offensive-zone draw. Senior Matt Zarbo won a face off back to the point to Paul Geiger, who ripped in a shot up and under the crossbar for his third career goal.
Niagara, with two power-play chances in the final frame, outshot the Knights 11-8 over the final 20 minutes, but Perry kept the Purple Eagles off the scoreboard.
The Knights went 1-of-3 on the power play and won 40-of-69 faceoffs.
Clarkson travels out to the Midwest this coming weekend to play in the Ice Breaker Tournament at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis. The Knights play the University of New Hampshire in the first round on Friday at 5 p.m. The University of Minnesota and Mercyhurst College round out the tournament field.
