text: Rock and roll icon Buddy Holly is the honoree for the eighth annual American Music Masters series. Buddy Holly was in the spotlight of American popular music for only two short years, but the wealth of material he recorded in that time had a major and lasting impact on popular music. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums. In his final months, he even began experimenting with orchestration. Holly's catalog of songs includes such standards of the rock and roll canon as "Rave On," "Peggy Sue," "That'll Be the Day," "Oh Boy!" and "Maybe Baby." Tribute Concert Performers: John Mellencamp, Marshall Chrenshaw, Bill Pinkey and the Drifters, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Nanci Griffith, Wanda Jackson, Lenny Kaye, Kevin Montgomery, John Mueller and Tommy Allsup.

Dresden, your treasures
The capital of the German state of Saxony is currently experiencing a cultural revival that is not solely attributable to the city's centuries-old collection of art treasures. A younger, unconventional cultural scene is sprouting up among the ruins and the old masters.
Back to the overview
Frauenkirche, Old Masters and Young Artists
The Church of Our Lady:
Dresden's Frauenkirche was totally destroyed by Allied air bombardment in February 1945. It remained a ruin until after German reunification. Reconstruction of the magnificent Baroque edifice started in 1994 and was completed in 2005 at a cost of 182 million euros. Even though critics object that it is only a copy of the original building and not a genuine restoration, the Frauenkirche is perhaps the most important symbol of Dresden's rediscovered splendor.
Neumarkt, Tel.: +49-(0)351/656 06 100, normally open daily Mon-Fri 10am-12 noon and 1pm-6pm, but religious events can lead to temporary closure, especially Saturdays and Sundays; admission is free, but donations for maintenance of the church are welcomed; www.frauenkirche-dresden.de
Alte Meister Gallery:
This houses one of the world's leading art collections, comprising some 750 works from the period between the 15th and 18th centuries. Located in the Semper Building on the famous Zwinger, the collection contains numerous examples of Italian Baroque and Renaissance art and 17th century Flemish and Dutch works, and includes paintings by old masters like Raphael, Rembrandt and Titian. In contrast to most museums, the pictures are hung very close to each other and this dense concentration of great art makes the visit a very special experience.
Theaterplatz 1, Tel.: +49-(0)351/49 14 66 79, open Tue-Sun 10am-6pm; Admission €10, €7.50 for people qualifying for reduced rates; www.skd.museum
Kunsthaus Dresden:
The idea behind the Kunsthaus Dresden can be described very simply – young masters instead of old ones. This gallery is dedicated to contemporary art and holds regularly changing exhibitions of current regional and international trends in the art world. It aims to attract not only the genuine art connoisseurs. With a program of conducted tours, lectures and film screenings it seeks to promote an understanding of art to the general public.
Rähnitzgasse 8, Tel.: +49-(0)351/804 14 56, open Tue-Fri 12 noon-7pm, Sat+Sun 12 noon-8pm; Admission: €3, €2 for people qualifying for reduced rates, Fri free; www.kunsthausdresden.de
Courageous musicians and young theatre performers
ensemble courage:
Dresden's music scene has a lot more to offer than its old-established, internationally famous opera house and concert halls The ensemble courage is an orchestra of young, but accomplished instrumentalists specializing in works by 20th century and contemporary composers. It enjoys a high reputation with both fans and experts. It is self-managed and has given more than 40 premieres and more than 30 first performances in Germany since its foundation in 1997.
Young Generation Theater:
Even the tiniest culture vultures can get something for their money in Dresden. The Theater Junge Generation (TJG) stages fairytales and classic and contemporary pieces for children and young people. It also has a puppet theater. Founded in1949, it is now Germany's second oldest children's theater. The 2008/2009 season also saw the opening of the TJG's Theater Academy, where children and young people can now audition their own acting talent.
Meissner Landstrasse 4, Tel.: +49-(0)351/42 91 20, www.tjg-dresden.de
Erich Kästner Museum:
Even today, no German can envision a childhood without the Dresden-born author Erich Kästner and his classic stories like The Flying Classroom, Emil And The Detectives and The Parent Trap that have entranced generations of children. Remakes of films of his stories are constantly appearing. A lovingly designed "micro-museum" dedicated to Kästner has now been opened at the Villa Augustin, where one of his uncles used to live.
Antonstrasse 1, Tel.: +49-(0)351/804 50 86, open Sun-Wed 10am-6pm; Admission: €4, €3 for people qualifying for reduced rates; www.erich-kaestner-museum.de

Spanish Art Microcosm: from Goya to Guernica
It's well worth staying on in Madrid a day or two longer just for the Prado, which is one of the most notable museums in the world. But genuine art fans don't just come here to see the Spanish equivalent of the Louvre: The impressive palace of art has become the centerpiece of a veritable art district, which boasts other renowned museums, some ambitious cultural centers, exciting smaller galleries and buildings designed by contemporary star architects.
Famous, oppressive – and magnificent. To visit the Goya rooms of the Prado is to enter the world of one of the most astonishing and most important artists of all time. Francisco de Goya was considered the last of the Old Masters but at the same time the trailblazer for styles such as Expressionism and Surrealism, and has thus greatly influenced entire generations of artists. His 140 paintings exhibited here alone would establish the worldwide prestige of any museum. At Museo del Prado, they compete with numerous works of other artists, such as Bosch, Botticelli, Dürer, Rembrandt and Velázquez. The museum's collection comprises altogether 5000 drawings, 3000 paintings and 2000 prints.
Prado: Calle Ruiz de Alarcón 23, Tel.: +34-913 302 800. Open: Tue-Sun 9am-8pm (varies on some public holidays). Admission: €8 for the collection (reduced €4), extra for exhibitions. Tickets cost less if bought in advance. www.museodelprado.es
Museo Reina Sofía:
Museo Reina Sofía picks up where Prado leaves off – in the 20th century. Many world-famous works of the Spanish Avant-garde – Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró to name just three – are exhibited here. The best-known piece in the entire collection is probably Picasso's monumental "Guernica," a painting measuring almost 3.5 x 8 meters. Sketches, studies and drafts take the visitor through the various stages of the painting's creation. The museum building – once a hospital – dates from the 18th century and has a new wing that was added a few years ago by star architect Jean Nouvel. Along with the Prado and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Reina Sofiá forms an "art triangle" (triangulo del arte) set amid a host of neighboring museums, galleries and cultural centers.
Museo Reina Sofía: Calle Santa Isabel 52 (main building), Ronda de Atocha (new building), Parque de El Retiro (various buildings), Tel.: +34-917 741 000. Open, main building: Mon, Wed-Sat 10am-2:30pm, Sun 10am-2:30pm. Admission: €3 exhibitions, €6 collection and exhibitions (students, retirees and others entitled to concessions, free). www.museoreinasofia.es (English, Spanish)
Spectacular newcomer in the art district: CaixaForum stages fascinating exhibitions on architecture, photography and the fine arts, plus a full program of discussions, music events and workshops. The cultural center building designed by star architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron opened in 2008 – and already rates as an attraction in its own right.
One of the adjoining walls even serves as a vertical garden, which was created by botanist and horticultural artist Patrick Blanc with 15,000 plants of 250 different species.
CaixaForum: Paseo del Prado 36, +34-913 307 300. Open: daily 10am-8pm, 25.12., 1.-6.1. closed. Admission: free. http://obrasocial.lacaixa.es/nuestroscentros/caixaforummadrid/caixaforummadrid_es.html (Spanish)

Township of Montville
Health Department
West Nile Virus
August 1, 2012
Now that summer
is here, so is the mosquito breeding season and concerns about West Nile Virus.
During the week of July 23, 2012, the Township of Montville Health Department was
notified of the first Mosquito pool found to be positive for West Nile Virus for
the 2012 season. This would indicate
that West Nile Virus is again present in our area and we must continue to take
precautions. Since West Nile Virus is
transmitted primarily by the bite of an infective mosquito, residents are
advised to continue to take precautions to reduce the risk of mosquito bites.
To date, one human
case of West Nile Virus (WNV) has been reported in New
Jersey from Monmouth
County. West Nile Virus infection generally causes no
symptoms or mild flu-like symptoms. About one in 150 people infected with WNV,
or less than one percent, will develop a more severe form of the disease.
Symptoms of the more severe disease can include severe headache, high fever,
neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle
weakness and paralysis. The elderly are at higher risk of the more severe disease.
The West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an
infective mosquito that has picked up the virus while feeding on an infected
bird. In a very small number of cases,
West Nile Virus also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ
transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby. There is no evidence that would indicate that
West Nile Virus is transmitted directly from an infected bird to humans. West Nile Virus can also seriously affect
horses. Please contact your local
veterinarian or New Jersey Department of Agriculture for more information on West Nile
Virus's effect on horses.
Local mosquito
commissions are working hard with local health departments to monitor and
control the spread of West Nile Virus in the mosquito population. Local Health Departments in the area will
continue to participate in the State-Wide West Nile Virus Surveillance Program
by collecting dead corvids (including crows and blue-jays), raptors (hawks) and
thrushes (robins). Residents should contact their local health department to
report dead crows, blue-jays, hawks and robins.
Dead birds in fresh condition may be picked up and sent to the state

Full SubmissionINTOSAI Contribution to the Rio + 20 Conference of the United Nations on Sustainable Development Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) are cornerstones of good governance and play with their audits of government operations - including the economic, environmental and social sphere - a vital role in the area of sustainable development. SAIs provide independent and reliable information on government spending and operations which facilitates transparency and accountability and contributes to the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To be able to contribute to sustainable development effectively, SAIs must be independent of the governmental agencies they audit, and be protected from any form of outside influence. The Declarations of Lima (1977) and Mexico (2007) delineated the basic principles of independence of public sector auditing by SAIs. On 26 April 2011, ECOSOC recognized the important role of INTOSAI and the Declarations of Lima and Mexico by adopting resolution 2011/2, which states in its OP 2: ?Takes note with appreciation of the work of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions in promoting greater transparency, accountability and efficient and effective receipt and use of public resources for the benefit of citizens and of the Lima Declaration of Guidelines on Auditing Precepts of 1977 and the Mexico Declaration of Supreme Audit Institutions Independence of 2007, which set out the principles of independence in government auditing, and encourages the wide dissemination of these principles;? On the occasion of the 21 st UN-INTOSAI Symposium on ?Effective practices of cooperation between supreme audit institutions and citizens to enhance public accountability? the United Nations invited INTOSAI to contribute to the Rio + 20 UN-Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012. INTOSAI warmly welcomes the invitation, especially in the light of the fact that sustainable development has emerged as a relevant issue in the work of the audit institutions worldwide: ?Environmental Auditing and Sustainable Development? was one main theme of INTOSAI?s last triennial congress of Supreme Audit Institutions, INCOSAI XX, held in Johannesburg in November 2010. In that congress, all SAIs committed to prioritizing environmental and sustainable development issues in their audit work while multilateral environmental agreements and coordinated audits between SAIs were underlined as key focus areas. INTOSAI aims to further improve the use of audit instruments in the field of environmental protection policies through its Working Group on Environmental Auditing (WGEA), chaired by the Auditor General of the National Audit Office of Estonia. The WGEA has already started to prepare for the Rio+20 event with its special project team working on a document compiling the experiences of SAIs on sustainable development related issues. We would appreciate it if you considered involving INTOSAI to the preparatory process as early on as possible. The INTOSAI WGEA will additionally take part of the UNEP World Congress on Justice, Governance and Law for Environmental Sustainability, which will be held prior to Rio+20. Following the Rio+20 invitation the Governing Board of INTOSAI suggests to include a reference to the work of SAIs in the area of sustainable development and the therefore necessary preconditions in the final document of the Conference as follows: - Recalling the UN Millennium Declaration; - recalling the ECOSOC resolution 2011/2; - emphasizing that efficient, accountable, effective and transparent public administration has a key role to play in the implementation of the internationally-agreed development goals, including the MDGs and multilateral environmental agreements; - emphasizing the need to improve the efficiency, transparency and accountability of public administration in order to contribute more effectively to the implementation of the MDG and sustainable development; - recognizing SAIs role in the improvement of efficiency, transparency and accountability of public administration, which is conducive to achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including the MDGs and multilateral environmental agreements; - emphasizing the importance of SAIs? independence from the agencies they audit; - recognizing the crucial role SAIs can play in achieving the international goals of identifying and addressing the gaps and building accountability in the implementation process of the global sustainable development agenda; - taking note with appreciation of the work of INTOSAI and the Declarations of Lima and Mexico as well as the recommendations of the XX INCOSAI; - calling upon UN member states to implement and apply the principles set out in the Lima and Mexico declarations in order to improve the position of SAIs to contribute to sustainable development. WGEA Rio+20 Project ? Report Summary Environmental auditing supports better governance Good governance, the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented or in turn not implemented, is essential to ensuring that environmental protection and sustainable development promises produce credible results. Governance is one of the key themes to be addressed at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (or Rio+20) to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 4-6 June 2012. National auditors and their audits play a critical role in supporting good governance by advancing accountability, and providing practical, objective and rigorous examinations of how environmental and sustainability programs, regulations, targets and laws are managed and implemented at the national and international level. Some countries have regional auditors or evaluators that play a similar role. This paper summarizes some key observations from two decades of work by supreme audit institutions, which play a major role in auditing government accounts and operations. Supreme audit organizations (SAIs) go by different names ? sometimes National Audit Office, Court of Audit, Audit Board, and Office of the Auditor General ? and have different mandates but similar responsibilities to provide legislatures and society with the information they need to hold governments accountable. SAIs audit governments? financial management, compliance with domestic laws and international agreements, domestic and international policy implementation and performance. SAIs are independent, non-political, and fact-based in their work. Between 1993 and 2011, National audit offices in 107 countries have conducted over 3200 environmentally related financial, compliance and performance audits. Environmental audits have resulted in governments taking action to improve water quality in rivers, strengthen protection of flora and fauna, and reduce pollution. Benefits to environmental governance include the development of new legislation and regulations and stronger compliance with those that already exist. The implementation of multilateral environmental agreements has been improved through elements such as improving the designs of linked programs and better results reporting mechanisms. The vast majority of SAIs? environmental audits have examined national and sub-national programs such as climate change, acid raid, toxic substances, biodiversity, protected areas and natural parks, environmental assessment, green economy ? sustainable energy, sustainable development, environment and human Health, forestry, fisheries, mining, waste, water, and multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). With regards to MEAs, around 80 audits were conducted between 2003 and 2011 on agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, UN Convention on Biodiversity, UN Convention to Combat Desertification, Montreal Protocol, and Basel Convention. A comprehensive database of these audits can be found at www.environmental-auditing.org. Since 1992 the International Organization for Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), the professional association for SAIs, has had an active Working Group on Environmental Auditing. The Working Group has assisted SAIs in acquiring a better understanding of the specific issues involved in environmental auditing; facilitating the exchange of information and experience among SAIs; and publishing guidelines and other informative material for their use. Joint auditing by SAIs of cross border environmental issues and policies, and the audit of international environmental accords, has had the Working Group?s special attention. The Working Group has worked with the United Nations Environment Programme to develop a Guide on Auditing the Implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements. The objective of the Guide is to serve as a useful resource for auditors worldwide who evaluate the implementation of those agreements by their national governments and whether the policy tools that their governments use to manage and protect the environment and implement MEAs have produced the intended results. The guide can also be useful in improving future MEAs as it identifies key aspects that we look for in our audits that are important to good governance and accountability. The Working Group has also produced a number of other guidance documents to aid auditors in auditing a variety of issues including climate change, waste management, water, forestry, and sustainable development. An important upcoming guidance document in 2012 will be on environmental data. Under the auspices of the Working Group and its regional groups, a number of cooperative audits between different SAIs have been undertaken. The Coordinated International Audit on Climate Change: Key Implications for Governments and their Auditors (2010) involved fourteen supreme audit institutions (Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Republic of Indonesia, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, South Africa, United Kingdom, and United States of America) from six continents who worked cooperatively to design and undertake performance audits of their national governments? implementation of commitments and programs related to the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change. The SAIs involved included those from both developing and developed countries and the results from 33 audits. Amongst the six regional groups of the Working Group on Environmental Auditing, over 50 cooperative audits have been conducted since 1995. Important ones have included: ? Pacific Association of SAIs ? Solid Waste Management Audit (2011, ten SAIs) ? Organization of Latin American and Caribbean SAIs ? Compliance against United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Commitments Audit (2011, 7 SAIs) and Environmental Protection and Conservation of Natural Resources of the Amazon Region Audit (2010, 5 SAIs) ? African Organization of SAIs ? Lake Victoria Basin Audit (2002, 5 SAIs) ? European Organization of SAIs ? Convention on the Protection of the Black Sea Against Pollution Audit (2011, 6 SAIs) Putting Our Audits to Work In 2011, a survey of the members of the INTOSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing was conducted for this paper to identify the key observations that SAIs around the world are consistently finding when conducting their environmental audits. The ten top issues identified by 37 countries are listed below along with examples of the type of issues identified. ? Unclear/overlapping of responsibilities ? In some audits the institutional framework for sustainable development is cross-governmental and requires more work from governments in order to integrate economic, social, and environmental aspects. Governments have adapted to this new reality by creating more integration among ministries, departments and agencies, and among programs and projects. However, there is a lack of clarity regarding the specific role each one of those entities plays and what they are responsible for, resulting in overlapping of responsibilities across agencies and departments that compromise the effectiveness of policy coordination and generate duplication of efforts. ? Lack of coordination between sub-national levels and the national level ? Through the audits conducted, it has been noted that environmental problems occur at all levels from local to global, and involve municipal, regional and national governments. There is a need to improve integration and coordination between governance institutions at different levels. When local entities are involved in implementing national policies and in the interest of transparency and accountability for national funds and results, it is essential that some credible and verifiable means exist for reporting on how these funds were spent and what results were achieved. ? Absent or deficient policy or strategy ? According to some audits some governments have not yet created effective policy tools and systems to govern environment and sustainable development or have not improved public policy tools and process as demanded. With regards to some policies, targets, objectives, or commitments may be in place but they are not always supported by comprehensive and specific national, regional or sectoral strategies and plans. Without the involvement by all affected levels of government an overall policy or strategy cannot hope to achieve the desired national results. ? Insufficient assessment of environmental impacts of governmental policies and programs ? Audits have noted that governments are not using policy tools to ensure more timely consideration of environmental aspects before large sums are committed to a policy, program or project. High-level regulatory impact assessment or strategic environmental assessment is not a concern for many governments. ? Lack of analysis (economic, social, and environmental) supporting decisions ? In some audits the findings have noted that policy makers are not taking into account the three pillars of sustainable development ? economic, social, and environmental aspects - when making decisions. Sustainable development governance requires better ?integration? of economic, social and environmental policies, particularly within the broader development planning frameworks. ? Lack of long-term planning to implement environmental policies and programs ? Audits have noted that issues requiring long-term planning to resolve, such as climate change adaptation, do not have corresponding planning processes or plans in place. ? Inadequate financial management of environmental policies and programs ? Audits have noted financial management problems can be caused by: insufficient planning resulting in the costs of delivering environmental policies and programs not being anticipated and programmes then requiring an extensive amount of unanticipated funds; lack of appropriate financial management framework to support the implementation of environmental policies and programs; and lack of financial management skills and misuse of funds. ? Lack of enforcement of domestic environmental legislation ? National audits have indicated that environmental laws are not self-executing and governments must ensure compliance with domestic environmental legislation, by taking appropriate, effective and proportionate policy measures. It requires administrative capacities and strong government commitments to implement and enforce the regulatory framework. ? Deficient monitoring and reporting systems ? Through the audits it was noted that high-quality accountability and reporting systems are often lacking. Evaluation of key policy choices and instruments is not always in place. In the absence of good evaluation it is difficult for governments to report and measure their progress towards sustainable development and identify where further policy action is required. ? Lack of environmental data for decision-making ? Audits have noted that government bodies do not have sufficient and robust environmental data to support their decisions and to evaluate their performance. There are problems in data availability, timeliness, quality, and accuracy. Overall, there is a lack of knowledge and information about various aspects of ecosystems and a failure to adequately use the existing information to support management decision. Independent environmental audits can collect and report information for decision-makers where information is lacking. For the participating national governments at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 4-6 June 2012, the lessons are twofold. First, national governments can use the survey results and national audit reports, findings and recommendations to improve the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of a range of domestic environmental and sustainable development programs, policies and tools. The results of twenty years of national auditing work can also be used to better design and implement national policies and programs moving forward. Second, at the international level, the results of this survey and the audits conducted by SAIs can provide national governments as well as MEA secretariats with important feedback for evaluating the implementation of international comments. They also show national governments and MEA secretariats the key features of good governance that should be built in from the start against which compliance can be monitored. The full report will be published in time for the conference in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012. Background on INTOSAI The International Organization for Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI, www.intosai.org), as a non-governmental organization, is the professional association of SAIs in countries that belong to the United Nations or its specialized agencies. INTOSAI provides a forum in which government auditors from around the world can discuss issues of mutual concern and keep abreast of the latest developments in auditing and other applicable professional standards and best practices. INTOSAI has increasingly recognized over the past two decades that the environment and sustainable development is an important issue that requires attention by the auditing community. The relevance of this topic was recognized by INTOSAI through the establishment of an active Working Group on Environmental Auditing (www.environmental-auditing.org) in 1992, the same year that the United Nations Earth Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro. At INTOSAI?s most recent triennial International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions (INCOSAI XX) held in 2010 in Johannesburg, South Africa, the resulting Johannesburg Accords noted that ?environmental protection and sustainable development is one of the most topical issues that face governments in the new millennium.? In addition, ?the expectation that sustainable development and environmental protection should be subject to independent audit by SAIs has grown in the last decades. By exercising the highest values of professionalism, independence, objectivity and transparency, and through effective cooperation with fellow SAIs on environmental issues of common interest, SAIs can make significant contributions toward addressing sustainable developments issues that are becoming increasingly regional, and even global, in nature.?

24 hours in Athens: a day spent between antiquity and the present
Art, science, politics, philosophy – no other city has influenced the western world like Athens. It's not just the oldest, it's also one of the most exciting cities in Europe. The Acropolis, the Theatre of Dionysus, the Roman Agora and many other ancient sites vie for visitors' attention in the busy metropolis of four million with modern architecture, hospitable hosts, trendy in-scene districts and top-notch cultural offerings plus shopping galore. Athens is the perfect place for a daytrip into the past - and back again.
Back to the overview
Modernity meets tradition
The Fresh Hotel is a design hotel right near the famous Plaka (old town) and close to trendy Psiri district. The rooms have been done out in tasteful, minimalist style and the Greek cult cosmetic label Korres awaits you in the bathroom. The view of the Acropolis from the balconies is magnificent and gets better the higher up you go. So make sure you don't miss the Air Lounge on the 9th floor (which also has a pool and restaurant). At night, the roof terrace turns into a bar where a well-heeled in-crowd meets for a sundowner in the cool evening breeze.
Fresh Hotel, 26 Sofokleous Street, Downtown Athens. Rooms: between €90 and €240, Tel.: +30-210/524 85 11
When you leave your hotel to explore Athens' vibrant street life, head for the city's biggest and most popular marketplace – the agora. An important meeting place for the Ancient Greeks, agoras were the center of political and social life and market places back then, too. Millennia later, the Greeks still buy and sell, barter and chat in the agora. Being your day among the fish and spices and exotic fruit - ideally clutching a bag of red pistachios from the island of Aegina. If you tire of the tumult why not order a cool frappé in one of the cafés in Psiri - after ouzo, it's probably the most popular drink in Greece.
Central Market, Evripidou Stret, Psiri district
Tavernas, artisan workshops and traditional shops give Psiri district its charm. The Elixir, on Evripidou Street, is a perfect example of a traditional shop. It's a real insiders' tip for all visitors to Athens, too. The interior is simply furnished, old-fashioned and just plain charming, with spices, herbs, teas, soaps and oils stacked right up to the ceiling. Once you step inside this shop infused with pepper, curry and aniseed, you probably won't be able to leave again without buying a small, pungent souvenir.
Elixir, 41 Evripidou Street, Psiri district, Tel.: +30-210/321 51 41 www.elixir.com.gr
From the Akropolis Museum to the new cool district of Gazi
The Acropolis Museum, which just opened last summer, is without doubt the most spectacular piece of modern architecture in the city. A must for all fans of Ancient Greek history, too. The unusual architecture and the unique collection of archeological treasures are just waiting to be discovered and admired! The ingenious exhibition concept developed by Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi affords visitors an unforgettable glimpse of old Athens. And the sight of the columns of the Parthenon on the Acropolis rising right above the museum will take visitors even further back into the past.
Acropolis Museum, 15 Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, Plaka, Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 8am-8pm, Friday -10pm, Admission: €5, Tel.: +30-210/900 09 00 www.theacropolismuseum.gr
The former gasworks in Gazi attract locals and visitors to what is now the latest trendy venue in Athens. After the giant complex of factory buildings and gasometers closed, it was transformed into an industrial museum and cultural center hosting art and photography shows as well as readings, concerts, theater performances and festivals. In the evenings, partygoers head straight for the numerous galleries, bars and restaurants in Gazi.
Technopolis, 100 Pireos Street, Gazi district.
Tel.: +30-210/346 09 81
Mamacas is a gem of a restaurant in Gazi. The name refers to the mothers of both owners, Costas Iliopoulos and Vasilis Tsekouras, who serve traditional Greek food in a stylishly furnished modern Greek taverna. The mezes, small portions of hot and cold appetizers, are particularly delicious. They can consist of feta cheese, eggplant, deep-fried fish and octopus salad. No meal should begin without them and they do their job well, whetting the appetite for fish, meat and local wines. Dinner is eaten quite late in Athens, so if you want to dine when everybody else does, don't reserve a table for any earlier than 9pm.
Mamacas, 41 Persephone Street, Gazi district,
Hours: daily 2pm-2am,
Tel.: +30-210/346 49 84 www.mamacas.gr

A 37-year-old Middletown woman is facing drug charges after police allegedly found her with 445 bags of heroin during a traffic stop last week.
Police reportedly stopped Kenwauna Garrett's Chevrolet Malibu at the intersection of Cedar Lane Road and Betsy Rawls Drive at about 3 p.m. on May 9 because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
During the traffic stop, Officer Thomas Lancaster recovered the heroin, which weighed about 11.5 grams in total, according to Middletown Police Chief Henry Tobin.
Garrett, a resident of the 500 block of New Street, is charged with possession of a controlled substance in a Tier 5 quantity, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
She also was cited for failing to wear a seatbelt, Tobin said.
Garrett is being held at the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution in Wilmington on an $85,001 cash bail, he said.

Smoke rises following an explosion on the Syrian side near the Quneitra border crossing between the Golan Heights and Syria, August 29, 2014..
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Al-Nusra Front fighters are unlikely to target Israel soon, a senior army officer said on Tuesday.Members of the Al-Nusra Front, who account for a third of the 2,000 rebels who took control of the Quneitra region in Syria last week, poured into the Syrian part of the Golan Heights recently after being pushed away from eastern Syria by rivals from Islamic State, thereby upsetting the balance of rebel groups that had dominated the Quneitra region and Deraa."Now we see them deployed along the Israeli border, but we don't think they're about to target Israel," the officer said. "I don't see the Al-Nusra Front having an interest in attacking us now. But to say that I understand their minds – I can't say that."

Pomp and Circumstance in Petersburg
The "capital that rose from nothing" is how Russia's national poet Alexander Pushkin described St. Petersburg. In the early 18th century, the entire Russian aristocracy moved their place of residence to the city that had been nothing but a vast expanse of marshland just years before. The magnificent buildings that sprang up virtually overnight would inform the face of what is the world's northernmost city of millions today
Back to the overview
The Venice of the north
St. Peter and Paul Fortress:
Where it all began: In 1703, Tsar Peter the Great captured the region of present-day St. Petersburg from Sweden – and immediately began to turn an island in the Neva Estuary into a fortress. Once the Scandinavians were defeated, the stronghold served mainly as a barracks and a prison for – in some cases famous – political prisoners, such as Mikhail Bakunin, Fyodor Dostoevsky und Maxim Gorky. Today the St. Peter and Paul Fortress is one of the city's main attractions and houses a variety of exhibitions and museums.
St. Peter and Paul Fortress: Troitskaya Ploshchad, +7-812/230 64 31. Opening times: fortress daily, museums and prison, Tue 10am-5pm, Thu-Mon 10am-6pm. Admission: Visitors are welcome to make an admission-free tour of the fortress itself, but tickets must be purchased for a variety of attractions on the island. www.spbmuseum.ru (Russisch)
Winter Palace/Hermitage:
In 1711 Tsar Peter commissioned the building of his first winter palace and pushed ahead with his drive to establish St. Petersburg as the Russian capital, recruiting every stonemason in the land to the project and prohibiting the construction of stone buildings anywhere else in Russia. Ten thousands of forced laborers and serfs died of disease and exhaustion there. The Imperial Winter Palace was later demolished and rebuilt repeatedly – each time emerging more splendid and sumptuous than before. Today it is the main building in the Hermitage ensemble, one of the foremost art museums in the world.
The Hermitage: Dvortsovaya Ploshchad 2, +7-812/710 90 79. Opening times Hermitage: Tue-Sat 10:30am-6pm, Sun 10:30am-5pm (the Winter Palace always closes an hour earlier than the Hermitage). Admission: 400 roubles (for international visitors, 100 roubles for Russian citizens, schoolchildren and students free). www.hermitagemuseum.org (English and Russian)
Egyptian Bridge:
Peter the Great envisioned his new capital as the Amsterdam or Venice of the North, where citizens would in summertime travel by boat along artificial waterways that in winter would be covered in ice thick enough to support sleighs. It soon became clear that road traffic was the more practicable solution so that bridges had to be built at hundreds of spots along the newly created canals – and later also across the broad Neva River. One of the most extraordinary of these is the sphinx-guarded Egyptian Bridge over the Fontanka River
Steeped in history
Grand Hotel Europe:
Tschaikovsky, Stravinsky, Debussy – just three of a host of illustrious guests who have enjoyed imperial luxury at this hotel, which first opened its doors in 1875. Art Nouveau elements adorn the building, which is located close to Nevsky Prospect, where most Russian aristocrats resided at the time. Following the October Revolution of 1917, the hotel was nationalized and for a time also used as a military hospital. It was not until 1991 that it reopened as a 5-star hotel once more frequented by international superstars and state visitors: The simplest rooms can be had for around 300 euros, the
most exclusive suites for a little less than 4000 euros.
Grand Hotel Europe: Mikhailovskaya Ulitsa 1/7, +7-812/329 60 00. www.grandhoteleurope.com.
Dostoevsky Museum:
By the 19th century, St. Petersburg was undeniably a flourishing cultural center. A number of Russia's best-known writers also lived there, although more than a few were persecuted by the tsarist regime for their liberal views. Indeed, Fyodor Dostoevsky (The Demons, The Idiot, The Gambler) was even sentenced to death. Tsar Nicholas I only granted his reprieve after a mock execution, sending him into exile in Siberia instead, where he remained for many years. The apartment in St. Petersburg where he lived out his final years (1878-81) was extensively reconstructed in the 1970s and now houses the Dostoevsky Museum.
Dostoevsky Museum: Kuznechny Pereulok 5/2, +7-812/571 40 31. Opening times: Tue-Sun 11am-6pm. Admission: 160 roubles, reduced, 80 roubles (rates for international visitors) http://eng.md.spb.ru (English and Russian)
Cruiser Aurora:
Where it all ended: The October Revolution put an end to an era. The significance of the imperial Russian city rapidly waned as Moscow replaced St. Petersburg as the new (and old) center of power in the Russian-dominated Soviet Union declared in 1922. Yet it was right here in St. Petersburg that the Bolshevik revolution had begun, when, on the evening of October 25, 1917, the cruiser Aurora fired a blank shot from its bow cannon, giving the signal to storm the Winter Palace. Today, the former warship is open to visitors.
Cruiser Aurora: Petrogradskaya Naberezhnaya 4, +7/812/230 84 40.
Opening times: Tue-Thu, Sat+Sun 10:30am-4pm. Admission: 300 roubles, reduced 100 roubles. http://www.aurora.org.ru

Travel report Sofia
Travel writers describe Sofia as not just the political centre of Bulgaria, but also its cultural capital. The over 5,000-year history of this city is reflected in the large variety of places of interest. Many of these have been converted to museums. The Archaeological Museum, which is located in an old mosque, and the National Art Gallery, which is housed in the former royal palace, are especially worth a visit. No one should miss a visit to Boyana Church, which, with its largely immaculately maintained medieval frescoes, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. But buildings are not the only attractions on offer in Sofia; the travel guides also recommend walking in the numerous parks of the city.
