What is the broken windows theory?
The broken windows theory refers to an idea set forth by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in a 1982 Atlantic Monthly article that keeping urban environments orderly and fixing small discretions will prevent further vandalism and escalation into more serious crimes. The theory advises the police force to fix problems when they are minor and claims that further low-level offenses will be avoided and major crime will therefore be prevented.
What's the significance?
The theory has led to many reforms in criminal policy and been implemented in a some cities, including New York City. But critics say that it confuses correlation with causality. Some social scientists have revisited the studies that support the theory and found that there is a low relationship between disorder and serious crime. Some fear that giving police broad discretion in low-level intervention would be harmful in minority communities and people could be arrested simply for being undesirable. It also turns minor offenses into harmful acts and leads some to think that serious crime is always preceded by small offenses. This leads to the idea that by policing the minor acts, a city can prevent the more serious ones. The theory also relies on separating people into "law abiders" and "disorderly people" and delineating "order" and "disorder", but these distinctions may not be easy to make or have an intrinsic reality.
Who's talking about it?
Mike Konczal points out that the theory is behind an increase in the US prison population...Bernard E. Harcourt has written about the theory's false promise and challenges the data behind it...The high number of vacant houses due to the foreclosure crisis has led to a resurgence of the theory for a Milwaukee lawmaker and other officials in other cities...Conservative Daniel Henninger says, "Earmarks, pork, corporate carve-outs and all that are Congress's broken windows."

Insider Guide: Best of Hong Kong
Hong Kong has a loud personality. Kind of like its locals.
No matter if it's food, culture or architectural heritage, Hong Kong (population just more than 7 million) is the world leader in East-meets-West personality.
Now riding the waves of renminbi coming in from its mainland Chinese siblings, the post-colonial city is in the throes of a political and cultural coming of age.
There has never been a more exciting time to visit.
The oldest neighborhoods are gentrifying with hipster hangouts, top notch eateries and meticulously curated boutiques -- conversations over milk tea revolve around the property bubble, politics and Hong Kong's democratic struggle.
For those planning to make a trip, the best of Hong Kong is easy to find.
Print and go -- Our traveler-friendly one-page guide here: Best of Hong Kong
The Peninsula
An icon of Hong Kong hospitality, the Peninsula is the place to stay for a definitive "old Hong Kong" experience.
This best of Hong Kong hotel has been a prestigious address since 1928. It retains its old world glamour today, down to the white-gloved doormen and fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms.
A recent revamp of its Peninsula Tower rooms has brought a contemporary elegance to the decor, with high tech gimmicks throughout, such as touch-screen tablets that control all room functions.
Reservations are a must at fine dining staples Gaddi's and Spring Moon, while Felix has a strict dress code (no flip flops) and the city's best harbor-view men's room.
Although the lobby's high tea is famous, it's also touristy. A traditional colonial-style tea with finger sandwiches and scones, it's worth braving the long queue to try once. Reservations aren't taken.
For that ultimate touch of decadence, the Peninsula's helicopter sightseeing tour is unbeatable.
The Peninsula, Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon; +852 2928 2888; from HK$5,180 ($668)
The Peninsula Hong Kong, Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon, Hong Kong China; +852 2928 2888; from HK$5,180 ($668).
The Upper House
Hong Kong's coolest hotel, the Upper House is where stylish celebs sleep when they visit.
It's one of those effortlessly hip places, with paperless check in and check out, seamless connectivity, a maxi-bar (where everything is already included in the room price) and an aesthetic that's contemporary and sexy without being intimidating.
Rooms are located on Level 38 and above, which means each one has a stunning panoramic view of the city and harbor. Room sizes start at 68 square meters and feel much bigger.
The top floor of The Upper House is the setting for Cafe Gray Deluxe by chef Gray Kunz. It's one of the best places to watch Hong Kong's nightly Symphony of Lights.

Hotel ICON
You'll never notice that Hotel ICON is a teaching and research hotel for the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It looks sleek and is run professionals.
A team of celebrity designers dreamed up the dramatic interior touches that can be found throughout the building.
A lush vertical garden by celebrity botanist Patrick Blanc unfurls across the walls of the lobby. Next to it is Green, the café by local designer William Lim who used folding metal shop gates typical of old Hong Kong in the interior design.
Starting at 36 square meters, guest rooms at Hotel ICON are spacious. Bathrooms are hidden behind a movable wall of dark wood.
The only shortcoming is the location, which is a little far from public transport. But the hotel offers a shuttle bus service to remedy this.
Hotel ICON, 17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon; +852 3400 1000; from HK$2,200 ($283)
Hotel ICON, No.17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong China; +852 3400 1000; from HK$2,200 ($283)
Mira Moon
If a Chinese moon goddess teamed up with Lady Gaga to build a hotel, the result might look like the Miramar Group's second Hong Kong property, Mira Moon.
Marcel Wanders (dubbed the Lady Gaga of the design world by the New York Times) and international property design firm yoo are the masterminds behind the hotel's whimsical design.
Brimming with Chinese culture and tradition, Mira Moon was inspired by the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival's fairy tale about the immortal Moon Goddess.
Guests are surrounded by antique Chinese fabrics and prints, peony flower wall details and staff wearing "Moon's fashion collection" -- the hotel's version of a uniform.
Mira Moon has 91 rooms ranging from 221 square feet to a 1,247-square-feet penthouse suite on the 36th floor.
Mira Moon, 388 Jaffe Road, Wanchai; +852 2643 8888; from HK$2,600 ($335)
Mira Moon Hotel, No 388 Jaffe Road Causeway Bay, Hong Kong China; +852 2643 8888; from HK$2,600 ($335)
Tai O Heritage Hotel
One of Hong Kong's newest and best examples of architectural conservation, the Tai O Heritage Hotel was formerly a marine police station dating to 1902.
It's located in Tai O, a fishing village on the western tip of Lantau Island that hasn't changed much in the last century. The stilt houses and worn wooden boats are like a backdrop to a movie about prewar Hong Kong.
The hotel operates as a non-profit social enterprise that supports the Tai O community. Vestiges of its past are everywhere, from strategically placed cannons to guard towers and holding cells.
This best of Hong Kong boutique hotel has just nine rooms and one rooftop restaurant. Ground floor rooms open onto a sea-facing veranda.
The hotel is close to sights on Lantau Island, including Disneyland and the Big Buddha. Tai O village itself is a popular attraction that draws crowds during the weekends.
Tai O Heritage Hotel, Shek Tsai Po Street, Tai O, Lantau Island; +852 2985 8383; from HK$1,380 ($178)

Hotel Indigo's glass-bottom infinity pool on the 29th floor has attracted a lot of attention since opening in May. Next time you're in Wanchai, look up and you might see a person seemingly swimming in mid-air.
Hotel Indigo was awarded the Best Hotel Architecture Hong Kong prize at the 2013 Asia Pacific Hotel Awards.
The facade of this newbie -- located next to the Star Street Precinct, one of Hong Kong's hippest districts -- resembles a dragon wrapping itself around the building, with a glowing pearl (the pool) in its mouth.
Interiors and furniture were inspired by the neighborhood.
Hotel Indigo Hong Kong, 242 To 246 Queen's Road East, Wanchai; +852 3926 3888; from HK$2,300 ($297)
Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island, No.246 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong China; +852 3926 3888; from HK$2,300 ($297)
Bishop Lei International House
This sweet little Hong Kong hotel on swanky Robinson Road is a one-minute walk from the Central to Mid-Levels escalators. It's a great location for business travelers with offices and meetings in Central, or for anyone who wants to be close to the nightlife hubs of Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo.
Request a room with a view and you'll have the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens in your window frame, a spread of greenery among the high-rises of Central.
There's an outdoor swimming pool and a shuttle bus service from the hotel to Central, Admiralty and Wanchai.
Drawbacks: rooms are small (typical Hong Kong) and the staff aren't as polished as we'd expect from such an upscale address.
Bishop Lei International House, 4 Robinson Road, Mid-Levels; +852 268 0828; as low as HK$550 ($71), plus 10 percent per night during low season from May to June
Bishop Lei International House, No.4 Robinson Road, Mid-Levels Central, Hong Kong China; +852 268 0828; as low as HK$550 ($71), plus 10 percent per night during low season from May to June
Lung King Heen
Authentic Cantonese cuisine is updated at Lung King Heen so that the most traditional dishes taste light, fresh and just right.
This swanky spot was the first Chinese restaurant to earn three Michelin stars in Hong Kong. It has all the trappings of fine dining: harbor views, spotless linens, well-rehearsed service.
The food is excellent.
Dim sum lunch is a great way to sample the skills of chef Chan Yak Tak without overdoing things. There's the signature lobster and scallop dumpling served in individual bamboo baskets. Also good are the baked scallop puffs with avocado and onions, as well as the garoupa dumplings with shrimps and jasmine.
Lung King Heen, 4/F, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, 8 Finance St., Central; +852 3196 8888; expensive

Amber is one of Hong Kong's most celebrated contemporary French restaurants. Chef Richard Ekkebus creates modern twists on French cooking, inspired by the fresh ingredients he sources from around Asia.
This is a place that serves foie gras lollipops made to look like Chupa Chups for amuse-bouche. Foams, molecular caviar and gelatins are all over the menu.
Hokkaido sea urchin is served in a lobster Jell-O with cauliflower, caviar and a crispy seaweed waffle. The gold flakes were inspired by the Japanese belief that a little ingested gold is good for your health. It's a great gimmick that moves a lot of urchin.

Art meets food at Duddell's, a two-story venue that is part traditional Chinese restaurant, part fashionable lounge and art gallery.
This is where diners can indulge in a lobster soup dumpling or bulldoze through a plate of stir-fried noodles slick with soy sauce, all while oggling the impeccable collection of Chinese ink paintings culled from the MK Lau Collection in Duddell's first-floor dining room.
It gets particularly busy when dim sum is served (daily, noon to 2:30 p.m.) and the lunch crowd descends for steamed baskets of goodies and the famous mandarin orange pastries.
The second floor contains a rotating exhibition of art work by contemporary artists and a competent cocktail bar adjacent to a large terrace decadently filled with greenery.

Under the Bridge Spicy Crab
This place is named after its original location and signature dish -- a fried crab smothered in a small mountain of fried garlic and spices.
The addictive crab dish originated in Hong Kong's typhoon shelters where a community of boat people who made their homes on sampans cooked freshly caught seafood served with plenty of spices and "wok hei" (good wok-wielding skills). Little remains of Hong Kong's boat people today, but their excellent food culture remains popular.
Sure the crab is great, but it's the deep-fried garlic that truly enslaves. It goes great with everything and diners usually find themselves uncontrollably shoveling the stuff into their mouths, just mixed with plain rice.

Luk Yu Teahouse
Luk Yu Teahouse is a retro gourmet fix. Opened in 1933, the three-story restaurant is dripping in nostalgia, with its art deco embellishments, stubbornly old fashioned menu and urban legends (something noir about the mafia, revenge and murder).
The food served here is rare in the Hong Kong restaurant scene these days. Items like liver siu mai for the dim sum service and deep-fried dumplings in soup were a la mode five decades ago.
The Cantonese-style soups are particularly famous, such as the pork liver and almond soup. It's outstanding for including almond puree, which results in an extra rich and fragrant soup.
Service can be slow for non-regulars.
Luk Yu Teahouse, G/F-3/F, 24 Stanley St.; +852 2523 5464; moderate
Luk Yu Tea House, No.24-26 Stanley Street, Central, Hong Kong China; +852 2523 5464; moderate
Tai Ping Koon
When our parents were young and dating in Hong Kong, they didn't have tiny French bistros or swanky supperclubs to choose from. Back in the day, a special night out was all about the soy sauce Western restaurant.
Tai Ping Koon is representative of this sub-genre of Hong Kong cuisine. The food is old school Western reimagined with Hong Kong nuances. There's the Swiss-style chicken wings, which aren't Swiss at all. Wings are braised in soy sauce and sugar, resulting in a sticky, honeyed wing.
There's also an oversized souffle, bigger than your head, which every table orders.
Tai Ping Koon, 6 Pak Sha Rd., Causeway Bay; +852 2576 9161; moderate
Tai Ping Koon Restaurant, 6 Pak Sha Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong China; +852 2576 9161; moderate
Tim Ho Wan
This is what dim sum is meant to be.
Former Lung King Heen chef Pui Gor opened his first Tim Ho Wan, a hole-in-the-wall joint in Mong Kok, a few years ago. It became a dim sum institution seemingly overnight.
Top quality Hong Kong dim sum can be had at rock-bottom prices here. Most dishes cost between HK$10 and $30 ($1.50-$4), but flavors are pronounced and authentic because the ingredients are fresh.
The restaurant got its first Michelin star in 2010 and Tim Ho Wan soon expanded to several branches. The restaurant in Central is the most convenient, while the original branch is about to be relocated to a yet undisclosed site.
The cha siu pineapple buns are a signature. They are widely imitated but never matched.

Also on CNN: The best Hong Kong dim sum
This more than 700-square-meter-large establishment is the place to head when you've got tapas cravings.
Catalunya's out-of-way location makes it a celebrity magnet, while the consistently excellent dishes attract local foodies. With former elBulli chef Alain Devahive Tolosa in the kitchen, there are unexpectedly few foams, jellies and powders on the menu here.
Instead, the menu is filled with hearty dishes such as a roast suckling pig with crackling skin and meat so tender it can be cut with a plate. A moan-inducing Tortilla de Trampo transforms simple potatoes and egg into a luscious dish.
A few dishes typical of menus by elBulli alumni are also thrown in, such as the "spherical" olive, a bubble of olive juice, and the lethal Bikini sandwich -- the Catalonian version of a ham and cheese sandwich made from Iberico ham and black truffles.

Tai Wing Wah
We may live in a weight-loss obsessed world, but in Yuen Long, Tai Wing Wah is making a killing off of hearty "walled village cuisine." This type of food features lard, prominently.
Punti and Hakka villages that were settled in Hong Kong during the Ming and Qing dynasties were protected by high village walls. The food originating from these walled villages is the focus of Tai Wing Wah's menu.
Hugo "To To" Leung is the culinary brains behind the restaurant and he's adamant about maintaining authenticity. His restaurant is one of the few places in Hong Kong where you can still order white rice mixed with lard and soy sauce -- pure addiction. It's a rustic representative of local cuisine.

The Globe
With its British colonial past, Hong Kong does a great pub. The best one to go to for beer selection is The Globe.
Hong Kong's leading beer bar and sports pub has a huge variety of British and Belgian in bottles and on tap.
The city's only hand-pumped cask ale, the Lantau-brewed Typhoon T8 English bitter, is available here. It sells out quickly, so call ahead to see if it's available.
The selection of roughly 75 bottled brews stands out. Some worth trying include the rich and chocolaty Fullers London Porter, the crisp, hoppy Thornbridge Jaipur IPA and Theakston Old Peculier, a bittersweet old ale with hints of dried fruit.
Prices are reasonable given the quality and lack of service charge, with pints between HK$60 to $80 during regular hours.
The Brit pub food is pretty decent, too.

The last thing we would expect to find smack in the center of prime nightlife real estate in Hong Kong is a taqueria.
Yet, Socialito's taco truck-inspired kiosk on the Wyndham Street bar strip fits right in, attracting beautiful crowds each night. It's secret isn't just in morish tacos and a rich horchata.
Clubbers head towards a set of kitchen doors off to the side of Socialito that leads into a back room where the real action takes place. There, in an ornate room looking like a formal dining hall on a hacienda, patrons can eat Mexican classics until 11 p.m. when the whole place turns into a disco with the help of some of Hong Kong's better known DJs such as Eve Speciall.

The Wanch
When it comes to live music in Hong Kong, The Wanch is a true institution.
Set among the weary girlie bars of Wanchai, this tiny live stage is the last thing you'd expect.
It's a total dive, if we're honest, and the sound system really isn't the best, but The Wanch is passionate about showcasing local indie musicians and its intimate setting is perfect for getting to know new talent.
Also on CNN: Best Hong Kong live music venues
Many nights, you'll find standard cover bands churning out rock classics, which also makes for a fun, unpretentious night out. San Miguel beer in a plastic cup is the drink here, preferably enjoyed while standing up with feet tapping.

Honi Honi Tiki Lounge
A tiki bar is great antidote to the cookie-cutter chrome-and-neon nightlife scene in Hong Kong.
Honi Honi cures that after-dark ennui with its fruity, spirit-lifting cocktails, and dramatic-yet-soothing bamboo interior design.
It's impossible to take life seriously when confronted with the "Honi Honi All The Way," a huge hollowed-out watermelon holding spiced rum, passion fruit purree, Cointreau and watermelon and orange juice meant to be shared.
Or try the energizing effects of the Aztec Breakfast, a made with coffee, Aztec chocolate bitters and tequilas by Jose Cuervo as well as Patron.
Honi Honi Tiki Lounge, 3F, 52 Wellington St., Central; +852 2353 0885; moderate
The Pawn
Architecture conservation done right, The Pawn is a pre-war tenement building transformed into one of the most popular lounges in the city.
Artist Stanley Wong revamped the former pawn shop without sacrificing the main characteristics of its turn-of-the-century Chinese-style architecture.
There is a rooftop garden, and a third-floor formal dining room, but the main attraction is the second-floor lounge. The Chesterfield sofas are occupied daily by the after-work happy hour crowd sipping vintage whiskies, pints of beer and munching on Brit classics like fish and chips and streaky bacon sarnies.
The best seats in the house are on the terrace, overlooking the tram tracks that run through the Wanchai neighborhood.

Dragon-i is a clubbing landmark in Hong Kong. A mix of locals, expats, models, celebrities -- all sharing an affinity for posing -- congregate on a nightly basis.
It's crowded and dance-y on the inside, but lounge-y on the outside terrace where aggressive networking takes place. The bouncers at the velvet rope add a sense of exclusivity, although you can get in by paying the cover, usually HK$300 ($39).
During the day, the club serves a dim sum buffet that's somewhat of a cult classic dining choice in Hong Kong. For HK$188 ($24) each person gets an unlimited flow of dim sum morsels and great people watching.

A really big Buddha
Sitting on a hilltop on Lantau Island, the 34-meter-tall Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) can been seen from afar. The bronze sitting Buddha took 12 years to complete and is the biggest outdoor sitting bronze Buddha in the world.
There's no easy way to visit the Buddha. You just have to walk 268 steps uphill and down afterward. The view of the Buddha as well as the surrounding view from above are worth the climb.
Big Buddha, Lantau Island, Hong Kong China;
Po Lin Monastery is a stone's throw away. The monastery is a colorful Buddhist sanctum that includes a vegetarian restaurant.

Tai O, Hong Kong China;
To get to the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery take the MTR to Tung Chung station, then take the bus or Ngong Ping 360 cable car to Ngon Ping market. Afterward, you can take a taxi (about HK$50) to Tai O. There are buses that will take you back to Tung Chung from Tai O.

The Star Ferry and the tram are two old modes of transport still used everyday in Hong Kong. They're also the best ways to explore the city.
Operating since 1888, the ferry was the main way to get between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon peninsula. Today, there are faster ways to get across (MTR and cars both tunnel beneath the harbor), but rocking on a ferry at night is the most relaxing, and brings you close to Hong Kong's gorgeous skyline.
The slow-crawling tram was founded in 1904 and runs only on Hong Kong Island. Avoid peak hour to secure a seat on the upper deck of the tram. The whole route, from Shau Kei Wan to Kennedy Town, may take more than an hour to complete, traversing the oldest neighborhoods of Hong Kong.
The route along North Point passes through the middle of an outdoor wet market (Chun Yeung Street market).

Temple Street
Temple Street presents a perfect exotic fantasy of Hong Kong. Everything here looks old, filthy and somewhat threatening.
There's the trinkets market, the cheap sex toy vendors, the rows and rows of stalls offering fortune telling.
Street food -- hot, fresh, of questionable hygiene and totally irresistible -- beckons.
Neighboring the eateries are old school karaoke parlors where HK$100 ($13) gets you access to center stage, a live band and an audience of geriatric regulars who have been attending nightly for decades.
Take the MTR to Jordan and take exit A. Turn right onto Jordan Road and walk three blocks to Temple Street. The market is open from around 4 p.m. till midnight.

Mong Kok
Brace yourself for one of the most overwhelming examples of population density.
Mong Kok is where everyone goes to buy stuff.
There seems to be a market for everything.
Ladies' Market on Tung Choi Street, east of Nathan Road, sells cheap fashion, knock-offs and souvenirs.
The Mongkok Computer Centre, Sneakers Street on Fa Yuen Street and Goldfish market on Tung Choi Street and Bute Street, satisfy all other retail impulses.
For trendy junk food, there's Dundas Street.

Natural Hong Kong
Many visitors are taken aback at Hong Kong's natural scenery. Few outsiders know that three-quarters of Hong Kong's 1,104 square kilometers of land, is actually rural and nearly pristine. Here's the best of Hong Kong outdoors:
Hong Kong National Geopark
Erosion never looked better: Hong Kong's mineral marvels are showcased in this gorgeous series of sites at the Hong Kong National Geopark.
Spanning 5,000 hectares in the New Territories, the national park covers Hong Kong's wildly beautiful geological forms, a result of erosion from incoming waves.
The park is conserved through three levels of protection and managed public accessibility. It takes more than an hour to get near the sites from Central and many are accessible only by privately hired boats.
Booking a guided tour makes visiting easier.
Hong Kong has more than 100 beaches and nearly half are maintained by the government, meaning there are lifeguards, shark nets, changing rooms and other convenient amenities.
Also a lot of rules. Dogs and smoking aren't usually allowed, resulting in relatively clean beaches.
While the tourists go to Repulse Bay, locals head east to Shek O main beach. That doesn't mean there are less people though -- quite the opposite. On a clear summer day, it's hard to find a a square meter of sand that isn't occupied by an oiled up body.
There's also Tai Long Wan on the coast of the Sai Kung Country Park. It's inaccessible except by foot or boat. The hike to the beach takes about 90-minutes over scrubby hills with incredible views of sharp peaks, turquoise water and good surf.

Island hopping
Lantau Island, Lamma Island, Cheung Chau and Peng Chau are the four major outlying islands that surround Hong Kong. Visiting one makes for a relaxing day trip away from the claustrophobic city.
All have a real "islandness" about them. Lantau is the biggest island, almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island, and where you'll find tourist hot spots Disneyland, the Big Buddha and Tai O.
But taking a ferry to its pier at Mui Wo, you'll find a quiet, semi-rural community, with hidden waterfalls, beaches and bicycles.
The other islands don't allow cars. They're small enough to walk across in a day, and this constitutes the main activity for visitors, apart from beachcombing and eating.
For the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival held each May, contestants climb to the top of bamboo towers, which are covered in Chinese buns.

Trail walks
Hiking is Hong Kong's most popular hidden activity. Many locals hike religiously.
Hong Kong has about 300 kilometers of maintained trails, which traverse the territory and vary in length and difficulty.
These four major hiking trails are best for getting a taste of Hong Kong's natural colors: MacLehose Trail, Wilson Trail, Hong Kong Trail or Lantau Trail.

The current Eurozone debt crisis has left Spain with crippling economic problems. Mounting debts, record unemployment figures and the recent credit rating downgrade is leaving the country facing further economic stagnation.

As the 10th Mountain Division this morning marks the 12th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, it will be joined by an Army National Guardsman who marched more than 80 miles to observe the ceremony.
Sgt. Glenn A. Follett, who serves full time maintaining unmanned aerial vehicles with Detachment 1, Bravo Company, 27th Brigade Support Battalion, 27th Infantry Brigade, has walked since Saturday morning from Hancock Field Air National Guard Base to raise awareness of the day and to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project.
As of Tuesday afternoon, he had raised $975 of his $1,000 goal.
I dont want no fireworks; I dont want no band, he said.
During his first deployment to Afghanistan last year, Sgt. Follett, 44, spent Sept. 11 launching an RQ-7 Shadow drone in Pasab, Afghanistan.
I just did what I was training for, he said. It was kind of overwhelming.
When he returned to the States in December, Sgt. Follett said, he wanted to find a way to make the day memorable again. He got the idea for the march from the Wounded Walk, in which two Marines are traveling from Camp Pendleton, Calif., to Washington, D.C., over the course of four months with a targeted finish of Oct. 1.
To get to the post, the sergeant traveled primarily on routes 11 and 3, camping along the way. He said he had many people offer him help along the walk, including a free night and laundry at the Aspinwall Motel, Henderson Harbor.
The farther north I go, the nicer people got, Sgt. Follett said.
The only portion of the trip not done on foot was a short car ride on Route 3 to Henderson on Sunday after heavy fatigue set in while he was walking near a stretch of private property he was told he could not camp on.
He walked into Watertown on Monday afternoon.
Sgt. Follett spoke to the Times on Tuesday at the home of his friend Steven C. Wood, where he was recuperating in advance of walking about 10 miles to the post early this morning. He said his feet had some blisters, and his legs were sore from the walk.
He originally was supposed to make the trip with his son Sean, 15, but school commitments prevented the teen from going.
Sgt. Follett first joined the Army in the late 1980s, and has served in the military for about 15 years between active-duty and National Guard roles, including time in the 10th Mountain Division when its soldiers deployed to Somalia. The Afghanistan deployment last year was the fourth of his career.
He said he was working as a public safety officer at Syracuse University when the attacks happened in New York City.
You just want to get down there and do something, he recalled.
In addition to marking the anniversary, Sgt. Follett said, more attention needs to be focused on supporting service members through their transition home from deployments overseas. He said soldiers who appear unaffected in the weeks after returning from deployment started to exhibit signs of stress months later.
It doesnt hit people right away, he said.
Despite visiting Clark Hall and the posts memorial to fallen soldiers in the past, Sgt. Follett said, he was not sure how he would react when he arrived on post today.
I think I might get bent out of shape, he said. Ive never done anything like this before.
More information about the walk can be found at http://wdt.me/9YgzyS. Those interested in donating to Sgt. Follett can do so at http://wdt.me/MrHZBT.

POTSDAM School boards in Canton and Potsdam voted unanimously Tuesday to pursue a feasibility study that will look at merging the two districts.
Potsdam Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said the study is expected to cost around $50,000.
To cover its half of the costs, should it not be successful in obtaining an efficiency grant from the Department of State, Potsdam has received $25,000 in member-item aid from Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome. Canton is also seeking a state grant to help fund the study.
Mr. Brady said that both he and Canton Superintendent William Gregory were optimistic that state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, would come through with a similar grant for Canton, but Mr. Brady said its his understanding she is not providing Canton with funding for its share of the grant.
It appears thats not going to be the case, he said.
Should the districts receive an efficiency grant, Mr. Brady said the local share for each district would drop from approximately $25,000 to roughly $12,500.
The $12,500 would be the districts share and I see the Griffo money being used for that, he said.
Should the study end up not costing more than $25,000, Mr. Brady said, the $12,500 remaining could be used for overages or extra costs.
Mr. Brady said the next steps will be to apply for the efficiency grant, create a request for proposals and then hold a joint board meeting, this time likely in Canton.
He said that meeting would probably happen next month and include the formation of a steering committee to help move us through the process, as well as interviews with firms that have submitted proposals for the study.

Colorama returns home to Grand Central
I had the thrill of attending a press preview in New York City earlier this week for the exhibition Colorama. I happily stood amongst a vivid selection of 36 Coloramas from the Eastman House collection, on view to the public beginning Saturday at the Transit Museum at Grand Central.
One could say this is a homecoming for the Coloramas, the gigantic panoramic images that dominated Grand Central Terminal for 40 years, from 1950 to 1990.
Over time, a total of 565 Coloramas were displayed, changing out every three weeks. These towering backlit transparencies often received ovation from New Yorkers and travelers whenever a new photo was unveiled. The ad campaign ended when the terminal was restored in 1990.
The images in the new exhibition are a few feet in width yet still subtly suggest you buy film so you, too, can take a beautiful color photo. This subtly in advertising dates back to company founder George Eastman, who sold the experience and emotion rather than just the camera and roll of film.
I've talked with and befriended at least a dozen of the Colorama photographers and have heard several dramatic backstories. I shared many of these stories at the press preview, and doubt I will ever tire of talking about the wonder of Colorama.
For the millions passing through busy Grand Central for almost half of the terminal's existence, these scenes were a moment of escapism, as New Yorkers and tourists longed for these Kodak moments to unfold in their own worlds. I had that experience, once again, yesterday. And I'm still smiling.

Anansi was designed on safari, but perfected in the forests and deserts of North America and refined in the studio. Precision handcrafted materials and careful attention to detail make Anansi the premium multi-purpose sack capable of stabilizing a lens, a tripod, or giving your light stand or boom some weight. The hourglass shape reduces the amount of fill required without sacrificing the surface area you need for stability. A velcro divider on the inside allows you to control exactly how much fill is on either side. Anansi uses top-quality components. The bottom of the sack is made of high-quality Cordura for maximum durability and features a convenient non-slip coating on each edge.
Use your Anansi on safari flat on the roof of your vehicle or clip the buckles for a V-shaped that is perfect for a little extra lift. For those who need stability when using a tripod, light stand, or boom, Anansi can also be used as a ballast bag.
Anansi is handmade in the USA of heavy-duty, PU-coated CORDURA® fabrics and reinforced with double stitching. Anansi will hold up to abuse. Anansi's quality construction features a concealed zipper with a leak-stop tab to keep the fill where it belongs, in the bag.
Anansi ships empty, ready for the fill of your choice. We recommend sustainable fills like birdseed, beans, rice, buckwheat hulls or other easily sourced local fill.

How could social psychologists think about the recent, sad and tragic death of Michael Jackson? An obvious example would be to focus on public mourning and perhaps the psychological distress experienced from loosing a superstar icon. A less obvious, yet equally interesting means of viewing Michael Jackson's death, is to consider the media categorizations of him during his lifetime and how this may influence the way people remember him.
Categories comprise part of the central machinery of social organization and focusing on their deployment can provide a valuable insight into the management of people's categorizations of themselves and others. For example Michael Jackson was categorised as a 'superstar entertainer' with its particular (and his personal) category-bound activities (actions) e.g. dancing 'backward-gliding moonwalk', singing 'high-pitched singing' and fashion sense 'white glove, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses'. These category-bound activities are conventional expectations about what constitute normative behaviour for a 'superstar entertainer'.
When the link between a category and appropriate normative behaviour is broken, a disjuncture occurs and that person may be seen as different, morally accountable for their actions and re-categorised. Michael Jackson wearing a 'germ mask', 'keeping a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions' and 'surrounding himself with children at his Neverland ranch' provide us with an interesting example of this moral accountability and re-categorisation e.g. from 'normal' to 'crazy' (The Sun, 2009).

This recipe is from
YIELD: Makes 36 cookies
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 6 tablespoons homemade applesauce or store-bought unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups evaporated cane juice
- 2 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
- ¼ cup flax meal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Preheat the oven the 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, applesauce, salt, vanilla, and evaporated cane juice. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, flax meal, baking soda and xanthan gum. Using a rubber spatula, carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a grainy dough is formed. Gently fold in the chocolate chips just until they are evenly distributed through the dough.
Using a melon baller, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the portions 1 inch apart. Gently press each with the heel of your hand to help them spread. Bake the cookies on the center rack for 15 minutes, rotating the sheets 180 degrees after 9 minutes. The finished cookies will be crisp on the edges and soft in the center.
Let the cookies stand on the sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and cool completely before covering. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

More than 2,000 highly trained technical workers are in the area to support Braidwood Generating Station's Unit 1 refueling outage that began shortly after midnight last night.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. – More than 2,000 highly trained technical workers are in the area to support Braidwood Generating Station's Unit 1 refueling outage that began shortly after midnight last night. Scheduled outages allow workers to perform detailed inspections, equipment upgrades and maintenance work that cannot be completed while the units are operating.
The majority of the temporary workforce supports the station for approximately six weeks at a payroll of $24 million. These good paying jobs and the influx of people to the area temporarily boost the local economy.
"Our businesses see a positive boost from Braidwood Station's refueling outages," said Braidwood Chamber of Commerce President Angie Hutton. "The local business community benefits from the additional workers who need local accommodations and purchase goods, services and meals throughout the area." Braidwood has two reactors, each of which is refueled once every 18 months. One-third of the unit's fuel will be replaced and comprehensive maintenance and testing activities will be performed.
"The safe and reliable operation of Braidwood Generating Station is always our top priority," said Braidwood Generating Station Site Vice President Mark Kanavos. "Refueling outages are critical to assuring plant safety and long-term equipment reliability." Braidwood Unit 2 will continue to generate electricity during the Unit 1 outage. Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts of carbon free electricity – enough to power more than 2 million typical homes.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2012 revenues of approximately $23.5 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

PROVIDENCE – In the end, Bryce Cotton suited up for the Providence Friars. The real surprise came in the role he played Thursday night against intrastate rival Rhode Island.
The Big East's leading scorer did not light up the scoreboard as often been the case this season, finishing with 11 points on just 3-of-9 shooting while logging 39 minutes. PC head coach Ed Cooley pulled Cotton with 1:18 remaining but soon reported back in after Kadeem Batts joined Brice Kofane in the "foul out" club. Cotton's re-entry gave him another shot to reach double figures, which he did courtesy of a layup with five seconds remaining.
On a night where Cotton was clearly hindered by a sore right knee, one that required a brace, the junior was at his absolute best when it came to waving the conductor's wand. He ended up dishing out a career-best seven assists, several of which came during a second-half stretch that saw PC pull away in an eventual 72-57 triumph against Rhody.
"Cotton dealt with a lot of pain today," Cooley made perfectly clear. "He was basically playing on one leg so I really appreciate him persevering through a knee injury."
He also seemed more than content in letting his teammates pick up the scoring slack. Sophomore LaDontae Henton torched the Rams for 21 points and 17 points while Batts registered a game-best 23 points. Even freshman Josh Fortune got into the act on his way to posting 17 points on 10-of-11 from the foul line.
Cotton's ailment occurred last Saturday against Mississippi State as the do-everything guard limped off the court late in the first half. Had he sat out Thursday, it would have marked his second DNP of the season.
"He said 'Coach, I'll give whatever I can today. We've got to try and get us a win to get to the finish line,'" said Cooley, referencing that Thursday was PC's last game before the exam break.
Cotton capped off the Friars' 9-0 run early in the second half with a pass to Henton in the corner. Henton calmly buried the short jumper to pin Rhody in a 40-33 hole. A short time later, Cotton fed Batts down low, which resulted in a URI foul and a trip to the foul line for Batts.
Cotton's giving mood continued when he saw Fortune filling the lane for an eventual one-handed dunk that gave Providence a 46-39 lead with less than nine minutes remaining. He didn't completely abandon his scoring touch as Cotton drew a foul while attempting a wing jumper with exactly one second remaining on the shot clock. That led to two made free throws on a night the Friars didn't need their top point producer to live up to his moniker.
"Whether he was going to play or not, coach prepared us to play hard and be mentally tough. That said, we were happy Bryce was able to play," said Henton. "We know he can score the basketball, but he just that he wanted to get everyone else involved and he did a great job."

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators has thrown its unanimous support behind a plan for community control of some of the surplus land at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg.
A big part of developing all of these properties is local control, Ogdensburg Planning and Development Director Andrea L. Smith told legislators Monday in a presentation about the plan.
The plan for the state to turn over 160 mostly vacant acres at the psychiatric center to the city so it could be developed was initiated by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton. Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa and Mrs. Ritchie will work together to introduce sister bills for the Senate and Assembly, Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, said.
The psychiatric center campus covers more than 400 acres, including extensive frontage on the St. Lawrence River, but its primary services have been consolidated in just a few buildings and much of the land is unused.
The state has offered land at the psychiatric center for sale twice, but has not had any takers. The state also had a study done that said the land was not valuable, City Manager John M. Pinkerton said.
If the state retains possession, community leaders fear the property will remain idle.
The plan for the psychiatric center could not come at a better time, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said, because the director of the states Empire State Development Corp. told her six months ago he has been charged by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to get rid of excess state land.
What youre proposing, I think the timing is perfect, she said.
The city is interested in 45 acres prime for industry on Route 37, which includes four buildings it would take and two it would not; 50 acres of uncontaminated waterfront, which includes several homes; 45 acres of timberland adjacent to the Ogdensburg Correctional Facility which has no buildings, and 25 acres that includes a cogeneration plant that provides steam to heat the psychiatric center and Ogdensburg Correctional Facility.
The co-gen plants contract ends in 2019 and the city could put in a biomass facility at that point. The plan also includes creation of a revolving fund that would be used as part of a long-term strategy to deal with the vacant buildings and under-used properties.
The main focus of this is to get this back on the tax rolls, Mr. Pinkerton said.
The city wants to partner in the endeavor with Empire State Development, the St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency, the county Industrial Development Agency and the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority. The OBPA is interested in some of the property eyed by the city, but Mr. Pinkerton said he did not see that as a stumbling block.
Either its going to be done by legislation or well negotiate, he said. We have to present a united front.
Mr. Burns said the concept is excellent.
This is a great idea, he said. It all fits together well.

Fabio Pammolli
E-mail: email@example.com ; firstname.lastname@example.com
Mobile +39-348-8120691+39-348-8120691
Fabio served (2004-2012) as Director and President of the Executive Council of IMT Institute for Advanced Studies (www.imtlucca.it).
As the Founding Director of the Institute, he presided over its establishment as an international research university, which integrates education and research in the multidisciplinary analysis of a variety of socio-economic, cyber-physical, and technological systems.
Unique within the Italian system, the Institute represents a remarkable innovation in terms of organization of research, and selection and hiring procedures for faculty and students:
He's now Professor of Economics and Management at IMT, where he has set up the Ph.D in Economics and serves as the Director of the research unit Axes (Analysis of compleX Economic Systems).
In 2014 Fabio was a visiting research fellow at Harvard University, Dept. of Economics, and at LIDS, the Laboratory of Information and Decision Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He serves as an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on NEtwork Science and Engineering, a new IEEE multidisciplinary journal that focuses on the theory and applications of network science, aiming at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities, and the behavior of networks. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tnse/About-TNSE;jsessionid=972db51b4d8c00948f1960060055).
Fabio graduated in economics from the University of Pisa and he did his doctoral studies in economics and management at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies. From 1991 to 2001 he was at the University of Siena, while from 2001 to 2004 he was a professor of economics and management at the University of Florence. Over the years, he was a visiting research fellow at several institutions including Northeastern University, MIT, the London School of Economics (Sticerd), Sciences Po (OFCE), Stanford University (Scancor).
Since 2005, he is a Research Associate at Boston University, Dept. of Physics (http://polymer.bu.edu/staff.html), Center for Polymer Studies, where he collaborates with Gene H. Stanley (http://polymer.bu.edu/hes/) on the analysis of processes of growth at different levels of aggregation.
Since 2012, together with Luciano Pietronero at ISC-CNR in Rome, he is the scientific coordinator of Crisis Lab, a multi year research effort to analyse the structure and evolution of a variety of economic processes (http://www.crisislab.it/people)
Fabio combines different methodologies to cover a variety of topics in economics of science and innovation, industrial economics, the economics of health and pensions, and the analysis of large socio-economic systems. He is a leading expert in the economic analysis of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. He is currently writing a book on growth, innovation, and instability in economic systems.
He has published in journals such as: Science, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (cover article, Dec. 27, 2005, vol. 102, n. 52), Nature Reviews, The Journal of the European Economics Association, Nature Sc. Reports, The International Journal of Industrial Organization, Management Science, European Management Review, Physical Review E, Physica-A, Revue d'Economie Industrielle, Research Policy, Small Business Economics, Health Affairs, R&D Management, E. Journal of Health Economics, Europhysics Letters, Economics Letters.
Fabio is the President of the CERM Foundatio, an independent research institute specialised in analysing the sustainability of public finances and the economics of welfare, healthcare and pharmaceuticals (http://www.cermlab.it/cerm/)
He is the Coordinator of The SWITCH Project (http://www.theswitchproject.eu/who-we-are). SWITCH specifically aims at setting up a set of observatories, big data repositories, and analytical platforms on the economics and policy of life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and health systems in Europe.
He served as a member of the Commission on Intellectual Property Rights, Innovation and Public Health (CIPIH), World Health Organization, coauthoring the report on Public Health, Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights (2006).
He is a columnist for the Corriere della Sera (2010-onwards), while in the past his editorials were published on Il Sole 24 Ore (2008-9).
Fabio served as member of several Government expert committees in Italy: the Committee on Pricing and Reimbursement for Pharmaceutical Products (1998-2006); the Scientific Committee, National Institutes of Health (2001 -2006); the Pension Expenditure Assessment Board, Ministry of Labor and Social Policies and Ministry of Economy and Finance (2011 – 2012); the Expert Committee for the Assessment of Labor Market Reforms (2012-onwards).
He has authored several reports for the European Commission, on the structure and competitiveness of European high-tech industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices.
He was the co-founder of a start up company specialized on analytics, network analysis, and competitive intelligence. A great experience, from which he learned a lot about entrepreneurship, as well as about some fundamental differences between Italy and the US.
He has coordinated several research projects funded by national and international agencies, associations, companies, and foundations.
He was the originator and the principal investigator of EPRIS (European Pharmaceutical Regulation and Innovation Systems), for which he was awarded a multi year unrestricted competitive grant by the Merck and Co. Foundation in the US (US $ 200,000 per year: total US $ 1,800,000). The grant played a key role in supporting his research activities over more than 12 years. Thanks to it, in 2005/6 he promoted the birth of a charity in the US, to support collaborative research projects with Italy, particularly to support research projects and scholars at the Institute in Lucca. Potentially a good idea, to attract resources from abroad, but one which never took off and that came to an end.
Starting from February, 2014, Fabio is the President of the Fondazione MSD (Merck Sharp&Dohme), in Italy.
He has given talks and invited lectures at, among the others: The Council of Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, World Economic Forum, NBER, London School of Economics, MIT, Stanford University, Columbia University, Boston University, UC Berkeley, the OECD, École des Mines, École Polytechnique, The John's Hopkins University, the AAAS.

Yugoslavia 1970: The Writing on the Wall
From time to time while working in the records, NARA staff find documents that provide new perspectives on events through which they lived. I recently had that experience. I remember well the terrible humanitarian disaster that befell local populations as Yugoslavia ripped itself apart during the 1990s. I remember, too, how many commentators expressed surprise […]

BUZZ: Marc Staal Will Start Light Physical Activity
Update: 11:19AM: Strang says that she can confirm that Staal has been cleared for this.
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/KatieStrangESPN/status/137203272283992064″%5D
Original Post: In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that after seeing Dr. Cantu in Boston, Marc Staal will begin light physical activity after being shut down for the last month.
Brooks writes that the Rangers will not be issuing updates on Staal during his recovery process and that "it remains unclear whether Staal will be able to play this season."
While the approval to begin light activity implies that Staal was symptom-free while sedentary, there is obviously no guarantee he will remain so as he exercises.
There is no timetable whatsoever attached to this recovery period.
It is all about baby steps with Staal. I want to believe that he will be back this season, but it seems like it will be a while if at all. At least this is some progress though.
