Are Dads the Key to Get Boys to Read?
A new report from publisher Scholastic affirms what many parents and teachers already know viscerally: As kids grow, they read less and spend more time going online and texting.
But the report also has some interesting details about the environment and actions that most encourage reading. Letting kids pick which books they read, having a range of books in the house and limiting access to technology all lead to more reading, according to the 2010 Kids & Family Reading Report. Nine out of ten kids, for example, say they are more likely to finish books they choose themselves.
The drop off in reading as kids grow is particularly pronounced for boys. At ages 6 to 8, 52% of boys and 59% of girls read books for fun five to seven days a week. By ages 15 to 17, only 17% of boys and 31% of girls do so. Meanwhile, technology use skyrockets. At ages 15 to 17, 49% of kids visit social networking sites five to seven days a week.
There has been much hand wringing over how to get boys to read more, with publishers releasing books with gross-out humor and video-game components. The study points to another potential tactic: Getting dads to read more. Not surprisingly, parents who read a lot have kids who do so, too. But 42% of dads surveyed read books less than one day a week, compared with only 22% of moms who read so little. "We need to get more role models of men reading," said Francie Alexander, Scholastic's chief academic officer. "Dads like gadgets, too, so maybe we can get them involved around an e-reader." (Publishers have been developing new interactive digital children's books that allow kids to, say, tickle a character, record their own voices reading or complete mazes.)
One fairly alarming finding was how a large chunk of children blindly believe whatever they read online. Among 9 to 11-year-olds, 47% said they "totally agree" with the statement, "The information I find online is always correct." Among 15 to 17-year-olds, 37% "totally agree." "All of us have more work to do on establishing critical thinking," said Alexander. "When kids pop up with a fact and piece of information that doesn't sound quite right, we need to say 'Where did you read that. Let's check it out.'"
The report was based on online surveys conducted in the spring from 1,045 children ages six to 17; a parent of each child was also surveyed. This is Scholastic's third report studying the reading behaviors of kids.
Fellow Jugglers, what strategies are you employing to encourage your kids to read more? How are you helping them make sense of what they read online? In your household, do the male members of your family read less than the female members?

United States to Host U.S.-Moroccan Business Development Conference
The U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement, implemented in 2006, is one of the United States' most comprehensive free trade agreements; it eliminated tariffs on 95 percent of traded goods. The FTA has bolstered trade and investment between our two countries, resulting in two-way trade valued at $3.79 billion in 2011. Currently, there are more than 120 American businesses operating in Morocco, which have invested $2.2 billion and have created more than 100,000 direct and indirect jobs. However, in order to achieve the FTA's full potential, the United States is providing $1.5 million in assistance designed to attract foreign investors to Morocco, to foster local economic development, and strengthen the legal and regulatory framework. Secretary of State Clinton has set a goal of increasing trade from Morocco to the United States, and the Morocco Business Development Conference aims to do just that by raising awareness among U.S. businesses of opportunities to trade with, and invest in Morocco.
The Opening Plenary of the U.S.-Morocco Business Development Conference will take place on Tuesday, December 4, in the Department of State's Loy Henderson Auditorium from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. This session is open to credentialed members of the media.
Pre-set time for cameras: 8:10 a.m. from the 23rd Street entrance
Final access time for journalists and still photographers: 8:45 a.m. from the 23rd Street entrance.
Media representatives may attend this event upon presentation of one of the following: (1) A U.S. Government-issued identification card (Department of State, White House, Congress, Department of Defense, or Foreign Press Center), (2) a media-issued photo identification card, or (3) a letter from their employer on letterhead verifying their employment as a journalist, accompanied by an official photo identification card (drivers license, passport).

SEBRING - The U.S. Census estimates Highlands County and its three municipalities have lost population since the 2010 head count.
County Commissioner Greg Harris guesses that's true, Avon Park City Manager Julian Deleon produces a 2012 figure from the University of Florida which adds 250 to the city.
UF estimates Avon Park had 9,086 residents in 2012; the 2013 Census showed 8,792, a loss of 86 residents.
"I know that we have added close to 600 more residential units in 2013/2014," Deleon said, because the City of Charm has annexed several subdivisions in the past two years.
Highlands County's 2013 estimate is 97,616, a loss of 289 residents last year, and 1,170 since 2010, the Census said.
"That's probably right," said county commission chair Greg Harris, who lives in Country Club Estates subdivision. "I know in my community, they're passing away at a pretty good clip."
There's an upside of riding the cusp of 100,000. "We get a great benefit being under 100,000 that we would not if we were over 100,000," Harris said. "There's a whole different set of rules. Once we go over that, we're going to have to step up and do some things we haven't been doing. Right now, we're a Rural Area of Economic Concern. Because of that, we get a lot of different grants and breaks."
Sebring's population was 10,413 in 2010, the Census said. By 2012, the city had shed 73 residents, according to the 2013 Census estimate.
The Census counted 2,223 in Lake Placid on April 1, 2010. The 2012 Census estimate is 2,126 men, women and children.
Highlands County is not the only net loser, the 2013 population estimate said: DeSoto, population 34,517 also lost 345; Hardee, population 27,519, lost 212; and Okeechobee, population 39,330, lost 666. Glades, population 13,345, gained 467; Polk, population 623,009, gained 20,914 - 6,926 in the past year alone.
During those same three years, Florida almost gained a congressional district. Florida, population 19,320,749, picked up 518,059 from 2010 to 2013. The average congressional district contained about 700,000 people in 2010.
The Sun-Sentinel reported South Florida's population surged 4.4 percent between 2010 and 2013. Broward County has an estimated 1.84 million residents, compared with 1.75 million in 2010. The biggest driver was international immigration, which accounted for 39,565 new residents. Domestic migration added 25,965 while natural population increase (births minus deaths) boosted 20,026.
Palm Beach County grew to 1.37 million people, and Miami-Dade County had 2.62 million residents.
That growth pushed Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach-Miami to 5.8 million, just above Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Ga.

Get to Know the Authentic Moving Box
Published on Tuesday, 29 March 2011
For most people, moving boxes are just any type of box that they find around their house. Any old box that is packed with their belongings is a moving box. This misconception is further reinforced by retail stores which call the ordinary type of box as moving box. As long as it is used to move and transport stuff, then it is a moving box. Unfortunately, this wrong idea has caused a lot of damage in furniture and valuables of a lot of people.
The real moving box is actually a special type of box that is manufactured and designed to serve a purpose- to contain and protect things to be moved and transported. These boxes are used by moving companies and retails stores are unlikely to have them. Before these boxes are sold, they must be stamped as a certification that they can protect your valuables during the move. However, due to the prevailing misconception, it is ironic that most people spend a lot of money to hire moving companies when they themselves hastily pack their stuff in their old boxes. The use of high quality and certified moving boxes is the best way to protect and secure your belongings.

NEW YORK (AP) � After a speeding Metro-North Railroad commuter train barreled into a curve and derailed in New York City on Dec. 1, safety advocates said similar deadly accidents might soon be avoided. Railroads across the country are preparing to deploy high-tech control systems that will let computers automatically slow trains that are moving too fast or headed for a collision.
Yet there is already low-tech equipment, widely available since the Great Depression, that could have prevented the crash, and every Metro-North train already has it.
For many years, the trains have been outfitted with control systems that will sound an alarm if an engineer exceeds a designated speed or blows through a red light, then robotically slam on the brakes if the driver doesn�t respond.
Historically, though, the system has been used on Metro-North mainly to keep trains from colliding, not to enforce speed limits on curves, hills or bridges.
That meant that no alarm sounded when engineer William Rockefeller failed to slow as he approached a tight curve in the Bronx. Federal investigators said the train was moving at 82 mph, well above the curve�s 30 mph speed limit. Four people died in the wreck. Rockefeller said he became dazed or nodded at the controls, according to federal investigators, his lawyer and a union official.
A week after the derailment, Metro-North adjusted its signaling system so trains approaching the bend too fast will trigger the alarm and automatic braking system.
Similar upgrades are planned over the next few months to enforce speed limits at eight other curves and bridges in Metro-North�s 384-mile system.
The relatively quick fix for the deadly section of track raises a question: Why wasn�t it done sooner?
The simplest answer seems to be that on most U.S. rail systems, engineers have been seen as capable of handling routine speed adjustments on curves and bridges without mechanical backup.
�We operated trains for 30 years and 11 months without a fatality,� said Marjorie Anders, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which oversees Metro-North operations. She added, though, that since the accident, the agency was rethinking its safety operations from top to bottom. Anders said the MTA hasn�t yet calculated the cost of installing the safety equipment.
Accidents involving engineers rounding curves too quickly aren�t common, but they can be catastrophic.
Last July, 79 people died in Spain when a passenger train hit a curve at 121 mph. The Spanish rail system had sophisticated automatic braking systems, similar to the new �positive train control� systems being deployed in the U.S., but the equipment hadn�t yet been installed on that section of track.
In 2005, a passenger train hit a building in Amagasaki, Japan, when an engineer took a curve too fast. That wreck killed 107 people. The train was also equipped with an automatic braking system, but it hadn�t yet been set up to check speeds in the spot where the crash happened.
Page 2 of 2 - Speed enforcement systems on U.S. passenger trains vary widely. Generally, systems that do have automatic braking are set up to make sure engineers don�t accidentally overtake trains operating in front of them or speed through crossovers where trains shift from one set of rails to another.
On Chicago�s Metra system, just a few lines have equipment that will automatically stop a train moving faster than a signal allows. Like Metro-North�s system, though, those protections are set up to make sure drivers pay attention to signal lights, not enforce speed limits on open track.
�It is the engineer�s job to know his territory and know the proper speeds along his route,� said Metra spokesman Michael Gillis.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, which provides rail service around Philadelphia, has automatic train control on most of its system but doesn�t typically use it to enforce speed limits on curves.
Amtrak said it has automatic braking technology on the sharpest curves in its busy Northeast Corridor between Washington, D.C., and Boston.
The Long Island Rail Road, which is also overseen by the MTA, has a system that automatically enforces track speed limits at nine locations, in addition to its more routine job of maintaining space between trains.
Some passenger rail lines lack automatic brakes entirely, even to enforce stop signals.
There was no automatic braking in place on a Metrolink train that ran a red light and struck a freight train in Chatsworth, Calif., in 2008.
That crash, which killed 25 people, prompted Congress to order big rail systems to install positive train control. Those systems monitor the location of every moving train and provide automatic, emergency breaking anywhere.
Many railroads have indicated they expect to have trouble meeting the 2015 installation deadline. Some railways have reported difficulties acquiring technical components or radio bandwidth required to operate the system. The MTA plans to spend $900 million to fully quip Metro-North and the LIRR.
Railroads also have until 2017 to install alarms designed to keep engineers awake. Right now, some trains have those alerts. Others don�t. Rockefeller�s train had one but not in the control compartment he used the morning of the crash.
Robert Paaswell, a civil engineering professor at the City College of New York and former director of the University Transportation Research Center, said he didn�t think Metro-North�s failure to expand its existing automatic braking system earlier was negligent.
�The history along that curve was that for many, many decades and thousands of runs, nothing had happened,� he said. �This poor unfortunate guy had the tragedy of his life.�
Positive train control should help prevent future speed-related crashes, said Ross Capon, president of the National Association of Railroad Passengers. But he said railways shouldn�t delay making temporary improvements.

As I mentioned in a question a while ago, I want to spread around some live disks of a Linux distro. All the big distros' live CDs require a full sized disk, but I only want to use 8cm ones, so I've had an idea.
I want to remaster the hundreds-of-megabytes CD ISO so that I can burn it to an 8cm DVD. Any info is welcome!
Also, if you'd care to opine on the commonality of DVD-ROM drives, feel free.
I didn't think it'd work just burning a CD ISO to a DVD, it's a good option if it will.
To answer, I want 8cm disks for two reasons. One is to carry one around in my pocket (how many times have I wished I had one!) and the other is to put them into a threefold leaflet to give to customers.

Vegan desserts. Just another culinary oxymoron like white chocolate or healthy junk food?
Technically it is possible to make all kinds of sweet treats from donuts to red velvet cupcakes without animal products. While many debate what it means to be a vegetarian, the definition of vegan is crystal clear: no animal-sourced ingredients, period. But when I think of vegan cuisine, I think of fresh, natural, healthy whole foods which only happen to be, by the way, animal-free.
Raw agave syrup and organic cane juice certainly have more syllables than sugar. Unfortunately, more syllables does not equal healthy or natural. Try sweetening your treats with a natural, delicious, healthy whole food such as dates. (While dates do have fewer syllables than sugar, that's not what makes them so healthy. ;-))
Dates are my all-time favorite natural sweetener. They add a rich, complex sweetness to desserts and are delicious in savory dishes too. They are a good source of potassium and other minerals. I have never personally had a blood sugar problem or carb intolerance with dates, but if blood sugar or food intolerance are issues for you, it's always a good idea to consult your health care provider first.
What makes dates a healthy sweetener is that they are a whole food: the fiber and nutrients have not been removed. Beets and sugar cane were also healthy whole foods once upon a time before they were processed into sparkly white powder. While honey and maple syrup are certainly natural, to your body they are primarily sugar with traces of nutrients. I prefer to use maple syrup and honey as sweet flavorings rather than as a sweetener. Think spoonfuls, not cupfuls.
I usually soak dates in water or some other liquid and blend them into a smooth date butter for use in desserts. A high-powered blender like a Blend-Tec or VitaMix is perfect for this. (but not absolutely necessary if you don't have one.) Use more or less liquid depending on the consistency you're looking for. To try date-sweetened desserts, you can start with my easy California Chocolate Pudding recipe below, but don't be afraid to experiment with dates in your favorite recipes.
Some people like to use date sugar, which is simply finely ground dried dates (still a whole food, nothing's been removed but the water, which dates don't have much of to begin with). I've never tried date sugar myself, but I've heard it's a good substitute for regular sugar in recipes. If you have experience with date sugar, I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
recipe makeover
Here's a classic vegan recipe: Chocolate Avocado Mousse.
Chocolate. Avocado. What's not to love? How about those unhealthy (and unnecessary) sweeteners? I've replaced them with, surprise, dates! Healthy and delicious. And of course, still gluten and dairy free. I'm new to paleo and therefore, still learning, but I think we can call this recipe paleo-friendly as well. I'm not going to call it mousse, though. Mousse means foam in French, and although it certainly is creamy (thanks to our good friend, avocado), foamy it is not. Pudding is just right. And I'm calling it California pudding because, well, here in sunny southern California, I'm fortunate to be surrounded by avocado and date trees!
It's pudding, not chiffon cake. The recipe's not going to fall flat or explode if you change a thing or two, so feel free to experiment and add your own special touch. If you're a chocolate aficionado, see how different cocoa powders taste in the pudding. A mix of half regular cocoa and half raw cacao powder is divine! 1/2 teaspoon almond extract in place of the 1 teaspoon vanilla is a good variation. Another is: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. If I hadn't tossed out all my coffee, I would give espresso a try in the pudding, either brewed in place of the water or add a spoonful of instant. Please come back and share the results of your variations with me!
This is perfectly sweet if you're used to the mild sweetness of real dark chocolate or if you generally avoid refined sugar in your diet. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, replace some of the water with maple syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener. Or simply pour the maple syrup over the top like a chocolate-maple sundae.
My favorite way to serve California Chocolate Pudding is with sliced bananas. Fresh berries are great, too. Macadamia nuts are a super paleo topping. Trader Joe's sells dry toasted, chopped macadamias now, which are as fantastic on salads as they are on chocolate pudding. But I digress, let's get on to the recipe, shall we?
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1-1/2 cups mashed avocado (about 2 medium)
- Soak chopped dates in water. For a high-powered blender cutting the dates into fourths is enough. For a regular blender or food processor cut into smaller pieces and use hot water. (The easiest way to measure is by volume: Use a clear liquid measuring container and add the water to the 8 ounce line first. Add chopped dates until the mixture reaches the 12 ounce line.) Let them soak for 1/2 hour.
- Blend dates and water until smooth. In a Blend-Tec use the "Whole Juice" button. In a food processor, start out with just the dates and add the soaking water gradually to avoid leakage. Push mixture down with a spatula as necessary.
- Add the vanilla, salt, and cocoa powder and pulse to combine. Push mixture down with a spatula as necessary.
- Add the mashed avocado and pulse to combine until smooth. (Mashed avocado is both easier to measure accurately and easier to blend smoothly into the chocolate mixture. The final mixture will be somewhat thick and you will not be using your machine to smash the avocado, just to combine it with the other ingredients.)
- If necessary, add extra water a tablespoon or two at a time to help the ingredients combine smoothly. (Avocado is a natural ingredient, after all, and sometimes they vary in their moisture content. Adding more water can also make the pudding less thick if you prefer a lighter consistency.)
- Chill before serving.

This Is Officially Lady Gaga's Greatest Look EVER
5/18/2014 6:30 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
At this point in her ridiculous career, it's becoming real, real hard for Lady Gaga to shock us with something new, but gosh darn it, guys, she did it. In this new photo of Lady Gaga, out in the woods in a camouflage vehicle, wearing overalls and little to no makeup, and drinking beer, she has shocked us all. And to be honest, it's pretty darn wonderful.
So maybe this lady should focus on doing things like this instead of searching out the latest fashions, right? Like maybe instead of finding another bizarre hat, she should take of selfie while milking a cow. Instead of finding some way to gross us all out with some form of bodily fluid, she should put on her best square dancing petticoat and get on down to a hoedown. It works, doesn't it? Because goodness knows whatever she's been doing doesn't.

BEVERLY - As far as the annual Waterford Invitational is concerned, not much has changed in the past year.
For the second year in a row, the Waterford Wildcats claimed first place at their home invite in their respective division (White). Also for the second consecutive year, Marietta golfer Nick Thieman claimed medalist honors, shooting the only under-par score of the afternoon (2 under, 68). However, the Tigers were unable to duplicate their first place performance from last year, finishing third in the Green Division this time around.
"Two points separated first and third place," Marietta head coach John Doughty noted. "It's nice to have a score of 308 this early in the season. We've still got a lot of things to work on, but all in all, a good score today."

JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Marietta High's Heath Hill putts on the 18th green at Lakeside Wednesday. The Tigers finished third in their division.
Marietta's 308 was two strokes behind Green Division champion Logan and one stroke behind runner-up New Lexington. Warren turned in a team score of 312, good for fourth place which was fine with head coach Nathan Evans.
"That's our best score of the year," Evans said. "I keep telling them that we're a very young team and we're getting better each day."
Waterford shot 318 as a team to edge second place Belpre (320). The Wildcats' team score was 26 strokes better than their score of 344 at last year's invite.

All tournament: First team: Thieman (Marietta), Hensler (Marietta), Dennis (Warren), Alex Harley (New Lexington), Jake Barstow (Logan); Second team: Logan Holbrook (Logan), Bosner (Waterford), Brayden Metzger (New Lexington), Elliot Start (Rosecrans), Luke Engle (Maysville).
"The team played real solid golf," said Waterford head coach Josh Arnold.
"I think we're starting to find a little groove. The kids are relaxed. A couple of them still didn't have the type of day they wanted, so if we ever get all six scores thrown in there, it's scary how good this team can be."
Even though the Tigers' official home course is Marietta Country Club, Thieman feels right at home at Lakeside.
"I play here a lot in the summer and get a lot of practice here," Thieman said. "It's just a good course. I like it. It fits my game well. I've always played well here."
Thieman shot a 73 at last year's Waterford Invitational to earn co-medalist honors, but cleaned his score up a bit this year to come away with easily the best performance of the outing.
"I got up and down every time," Thieman said. "Never had a bogey. Had 16 pars and two birdies."
On top of being the medalist, Thieman was also named to the all-tournament team along with teammate Jeff Hensler, Warren's Kyler Dennis, New Lexington's Alex Harley and Logan's Jake Barstow.
Hensler's 72 was second behind only Thieman for Marietta while Dennis turned in the same score to lead the Warriors.
"Dennis had an outstanding day," Evans said. "Overall, I'm happy with how everybody played today."
Max Hapney shot a 79, Nick Ward an 80 and Drew Simms an 81 to contribute to Warren's overall score.
Adding to Thieman's and Hensler's scores for Marietta was Garrett Bertram (80) and Max Fitzgerald (85).
For Waterford, Bosner's 74 led the way, while Jordan Welch (81), Josh Stewart (81) and Brent Ginther (82) all hovered around 80 to keep Waterford's score fairly low.
"Everyone came in low 80s," said Bosner, who was named to the all-tournament second team along with Logan's Logan Holbrook, New Lexington's Brandon Metzger, Rosecrans' Elliot Start and Maysville's Luke Engle.
"It was good. We did good as a team. Could be better, but it was good for our second tournament."
After a sketchy start, Bosner's day could have went in a completely different direction, but he kept griding and found some rhythm and gained confidence.
"I had few bad holes. I had a double (bogey) and a triple on the front, but after that came back with a few birdies and kept it going."
Bosner's strength Wednesday was his "putting, for the most part," he said. "I missed a few birdie putts around the edge, but other than that, I kept it pretty close with two-putts."
Waterford was able to hold off a scrappy Belpre team, led by Sam Petty's 77 and Alex Perry's 78. Jackie Cunningham added an 82 and Brice Ferrell shot an 83 to come in at 320, two strokes behind the Wildcats.
"They're a solid team," Arnold said of the Golden Eagles. "They really handed it to us the other day at Oxbow (Golf and Country Club).
"Any round of golf where we can keep up with Belpre and be right there, win or lose, means we're playing good golf."

Sony announces "division two" VAIO laptops
In an exclusive interview with PC Pro, Sony explains its company's aggressive new strategy to grow laptop sales
Sony is to launch a "division two" of VAIO laptops that are made and designed by other manufacturers.
In an exclusive interview with PC Pro, the deputy president of Sony VAIO's Business Group announced a two-tier strategy for the company's laptop division, with "division one" for the VAIO laptops designed and built by Sony, and a "division two" for VAIO models built by its partners.
We need a certain market share. And if we don't have a certain market share, it's tough to survive
Even though these "division two" laptops won't be built by Sony, Ryosuke Akahane claimed that they would have a "taste of VAIO, the style of VAIO". The laptops will still bear Sony's name, and the company will put the models through the same quality assurance tests as "division one" VAIOs before approving any third-party designs.
They will also include many of the features to be included in new models of Sony-made VAIOs, such as the Assist button – press this and a recovery centre will launch to help customers save and rescue data.
Akahane insists the new products will be of the same quality as existing VAIOs. "The quality criteria itself is no different between division number one and division number two."
Instead the difference will be in the technology. "We will include new technology [such as the latest processors] in division number one first, and then we can learn and we can get the know-how, then we can transfer [the technology] to the products coming from division two."
Two brands?
We asked Akahane if Sony had considered setting up a different brand in a similar way to Dell with its Studio and Inspiron lines, but he was definitive in his answer. "No. We had a discussion for that, but the conclusion is no. Making a new brand is an investment, it's not efficient, and also for the customer we wanted to enhance the identity of VAIO more and more and for that having a different brand is not good."
Akahane has set an informal target of ten million sales of VAIO laptops in 2010, rising from around 6.8 million in 2009. Explaining the need for this dramatic rise now, he explained: "We need a certain market share. And if we don't have a certain market share, it's tough to survive." However, he ruled out buying a rival to boost Sony's sales in the immediate future.
So who is Sony targeting with its new strategy? "It's more HP and Apple [than Acer]. We have been launching new technology and new products, and we believe we've made lots of innovation. We'll continue with those challenges, and at the same time the network service is very important."
The network service Akahane refers to is based on the PlayStation Network, Sony's rival to Xbox Live. "In our case, we have more devices [than Apple] – such as TVs and PlayStation, and also we have to realise the synergy among those products."
The example cited by Akahane was watching a movie: you download it on a TV but need to leave your home for work, and with a synched network service you could watch the rest of the movie from the exact point you stopped watching on your Sony Ericsson phone or VAIO laptop.
Akahane wouldn't confirm when this service would become available, but we expect it to arrive late in 2010.

World's Most Beautiful Subway Stations
Vienna: Karlsplatz Station
In 1898, Vienna was filled with new ideas from luminaries like Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, and
Otto Wagner. It was the height of the Viennese Secession, and Wagner's Jugendstil
("young style") stations—made from steel and marble—caused quite a stir.
Wagner's Court Pavilion in Hietzing was intended as the royal family's personal subway
station, with royal trimmings to match (today it's a popular wedding destination). Meanwhile,
regular citizens were treated to works like the Karlsplatz station, a classic example of
Wagner's vision.
Don't Miss: The station acts as a museum for the great architect's
work, displaying original blueprints, master plans, and precious details of stations now gone.

John Friedmann argues that poverty should be seen not merely in material terms, but as social, political and psychological powerlessness. He presents the case for an alternative development committed to empowering the poor in their own communities, and to mobilizing them for political participation on a wider scale. In contrast to centralized development policies devised and implemented at the national and international level, alternative development restores the initiative to those in need, on the grounds that unless people have an active role in directing their own destinies long-term progress will not be achieved.
The author takes the household as the strategic starting-point - stressing its moral, political and economic potential - as a source of continuity and as a location for production. From this basis he propounds a politics of emancipation that would enable the disempowered poor to assert their rights.
"Empowerment" provides a morally-informed theoretical framework for a development policy that meets the needs of its recipients rather than of its makers.

The National Health Council's 27th Annual Voluntary Health Leadership Conference
Date: 03/13/2014
The 27th Annual Voluntary Health Leadership Conference, held February 12-14, in Tucson, Arizona, brought together nearly 80 senior staff and volunteer leaders from 32 of the National Health Council's (NHC) member patient advocacy organizations – the highest attendance in the history of the conference in spite of the snow storm that hit the Midwest and East Coast states. FIRST Executive Director, Jean Pickford, was among the many advocacy leaders in attendance.
Topics explored during the three day conference included:
- Change for Cha-Ching: Leading in a Fluid Environment & Guides for Innovation
- Innovative Strategies for Translational Research and Patient Engagement
- Implementing Patient Centered Care and Cultural Transformation
- Making Sense of the State Health Insurance Exchanges by Putting Patients First®
- Innovative Strategies to Generate New Revenue
- Unwinding to Free the Canaries
- Organization Structures for Relevance and Currency
- Transforming a Century-Old Organization
- Getting to Mission Through Innovative Business Ventures
Jean enthusiastically reported that she was inspired by ideas both presented and generated at the conference, in many critical areas including best practices for sustainability and growth for patient advocacy organizations. Here is a brief look at her key takeaways from the event:
|Jean Pickford with Myrl Weinberg, Chief Executive Officer NHC
What topics did you find particularly relevant to the FIRST organization?
Many of the member organizations have much larger budgets and staff compared to FIRST. It was a privilege to sit amongst the leaders of these well-respected national patient advocacy groups and learn their tricks of the trade. Three main topics emerged from the meeting: innovation, commercialization, and best practices for navigating the new healthcare marketplace. We must constantly be looking for ways to connect with our constituents and provide them with the best and most accurate information. Investing in physician-scientists who are paving the way for translational medicine is a major priority for most organizations. I was proud to say that FIRST is doing all of this, plus more!
Was there something you learned that you will be able to implement at FIRST in the near future?
I learned some new tactics to evaluate our infrastructure to accelerate our mission. Non-profit sustainability is a mix of fulfilling your mission and financial stability. When looking at our most significant programs, I need to make sure that I can confidently tie it back to our mission. If not, it must be re-evaluated and/or eliminated.
What was your biggest "take away" from the conference?
It was refreshing to see that no matter the size of your organization and disease prevalence, every organization faces the same challenges and triumphs. One CEO stated that we should not call our constituents "patients," but refer to them as "impatients," because they are the people who are our biggest motivators to make things happen. Nonprofit leaders are a unique group of professionals; we are all striving to make the lives of our constituents better, while trying to run a business so we can make it a reality.
Has your membership to the NHC influenced your perception of possibility, with regard to the growth of FIRST, research, and/or patient advocacy, for the future?
No, because I already knew the future has so much potential. Science is constantly emerging. New discoveries are being revealed at a rapid pace. Technology is allowing organizations like FIRST to connect with patients, physicians, and scientists all over the world. Science and technology are changing the study of diseases in profound ways and FIRST will continue to support whatever it can do to make a difference.

September 24, 2007
AIKEN, S.C.---The Aiken County courthouse is packed today for the latest hearing on the James Brown estate, and new allegations of fraud were raised.
First, the estate's special administrators now accuse former trustee David Cannon of taking up to $7 million of assets from the estate.
Their allegations of fraud that Mr. Brown's children and wife have claimed for quite some time. And Judge Jack Early made no secret that Cannon has a lot of money to account for, and he has to do it, fast--or else.
It's the day in court that Tomi Rae Hynie Brown and some of Brown's recognized children have waited for; David Cannon squirming. This after receiving findings from the court appointed Special Administrators to Brown's estate, alleging Cannon has mishandled more than seven million dollars.
"This thing has gone exactly the way we predicted it would." says Mrs. Brown's attorney Robert Rosen.
"That's what happens when you tell the truth. You don't have anything to worry about. " adds Mrs. Brown.
Some may call it vindication for Brown's widow, who Cannon has verbally attacked in the past. Now, he is the one under the microscope after allegations the Judge calls troubling are made public in court.
Gardner asked Louis Levenson, attorney for some of Brown's recognized children, "have you been appalled by what you have found?"
Levenson, " I am. I'd like to think it's well concealed but maybe it's not."
Louis Levenson and Mrs. Brown's attorney as well as the Special Administrators say they worked with trustees Buddy Dallas and Alford Bradley to uncover the new allegations against Cannon.
But Mr. Brown's grandson Forlando Brown says he supports David Cannon. "I differ because in my life I have spent so much time with this man. He's a very courageous and honest person."
Forlando's father Terry Brown says he doesn't agree. He told news 12 off camera he can't support someone accused of stealing from James Brown.
They are allegations Judge Early is taking seriously, freezing Cannon's assets for now and ordering him to testify in November.
"David Cannon's day of judgment is coming up on November 15 when he'll have to answer questions under oath." adds Rosen.
Forlando though, is more hopeful that the truth as he sees it--will prevail. "Eventually it will. And we'll find the one who is guilty and we'll move forward like i think this judge is going to do and it will all work out in the end."
Both David Cannon and his attorneys declined to comment. For now, Judge Early says he will retain jurisdiction over Cannon, even though he resigned in August. The allegations also call for Cannon to pay a music royalty company in New York back royalties to the tune of $370,000. Cannon has ten days to pay that. He has 20 days to provide deeds for every property he and his wife own. His assets are frozen unless real estate needs to be sold to cover the $370,000 Cannon also must pay the estate $30,000 in attorney fees for not meeting court ordered deadlines. Cannon is scheduled to be in court to testify on November 15.
In court for the first time was one of Mr. Brown's newly confirmed children, daughter LaRhonda Pettit appeared in court.
45 year old LaRhonda Pettit says DNA test confirmed James Brown is her father. That was in April. Today (September 24) she took her seat in court and met some of her siblings for the first time.
LaRhonda Pettit sits down in an Aiken County courtroom for the first time, not far from where her new siblings have held their perch for nearly a year. But, Mr. Brown's recognized six children had something else LaRhonda never had until now, James Brown, the father.
"The DNA came back in April." says Pettit.
Gardner asks, "What was your reaction to that?"
"I cried. I cried from the beginning. I knew it was but it's like someone was listening to me now." answered Pettit.
The 45-year-old retired flight attendant and school teacher came from Houston to put her hand in the pot for money from her father's estate, not only for herself but also for her two daughters. "My plea is for whatever rights for me as far as my back support he should have done and for me and my kids educational fund."
But the day was far more than a court appearance for Pettit. It was also the chance to see her siblings, including those she'd never met before. "This is my first time meeting Venisha. We look just alike."
Gardner asks, "How did it feel?"
"it was emotional. It was emotional because my mom didn't have any girls and my dad has a ton of sisters for me." expressed Pettit.
Sisters and brothers that Pettit also believes should be required to take a DNA test, just like she had to do. But that ruling has yet to be handed down by Judge Jack Early.
In the meantime, Pettit says she will focus on the positives of her newly confirmed status-a rightful member of the James Brown family.
"This is a ground for us to mold an have my daddy's legend live on." says Pettit.
Gardner, "but you also hope to get what you're do?"
"Yes, of course. Of course."
Meanwhile, Rev. Larry Fryer and his attorney want to make sure the "I Feel Good" Trust that benefits needy children in Georgia and South Carolina is not forgotten. Judge Early ruled that Georgia's attorney general and South Carolina's attorney general can intervene on behalf of the charity. South Carolina's representative from their attorney general's office told News 12 that if Cannon is found to have mishandled money that would have directly benefited the trust's beneficiary's, possible action would be taken against Cannon by the attorney general's office in both states.
It has been a long road to this point since the Godfather of Soul's death last Christmas day.
It began on January 11th, when Brown's will was read, naming the trustees to his estate and his six adult children his heirs. But the will was written and signed before the birth of Tomi Rae Hynie Brown's son James Brown, Jr.
Later that month Levenson, the attorney for the adult children, filed a petition to have the trustees removed and an inventory done of the estate.
In February, Tomi Rae filed her own petition disputing the will, stating that as his wife, she is entitled to half of the estate.
Later that month, the family was back in court to request DNA samples from Brown's body to check the paternity of James Brown, Jr. and others who claimed to be his children. The samples were taken in early March.
Aiken County Judge Jack Early agreed with Brown's children and appointed two special administrators to oversee the trustees, also in March.
In April, Early appointed a guardian ad litem to represent James Brown, Jr. in court.
In June, Levenson was granted permission from the court to look into $20 million that was said to be missing from the estate. At that time, everyone involved was given access to documents involving the estate.
In August, DNA samples proved Brown fathered at least two other children.
And most recently, in August, one of the trustees, David Cannon, resigned as trustee and co-executor of the will and turned over a check to the estate for $350,000.
So far, no paternity test has been ordered for James Brown, Jr., and no ruling has been made on whether Tomi Rae's marriage to Brown was legal.

SDSU Falls to No. 16 Santa Clara, 5-0
Oct. 2, 2011
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -
San Diego State-No. 16 Santa Clara Final BoxThe San Diego State women's soccer team dropped a 5-0 decision at No. 16 Santa Clara Sunday afternoon at Buck Shaw Stadium. The loss puts the Aztecs at 5-5-3 on the season, while the Broncos improve to 7-1-4.
SCU struck first in the seventh minute as Cate Parchinski notched her second goal of the season. The goal came 49 second after her first shot was saved by Aztec goalkeeper Rachel Boaz. Sophia Huerta picked up the assist on the scoring play.
Just 10 seconds later, the score was 2-0 in favor of the home side as Huerta put one on goal from the top of the box. Her attempt, which was assisted by Julie Johnston, got past Boaz to put San Diego State in an early hole.
Santa Clara continued its scoring spree in the 18th minute when Johnston matched Huerta's effort with her eighth goal of the season. Meleana Shim had her shot saved by Boaz, but the rebound went to Johnston, who rattled the back of the net.
As for SDSU, it went more than 30 minutes between its first and second shot attempts. Carli Johnson recorded the Aztecs' first shot in the 8th minute and did not attempt another until the 38th minute when Sarah Halverson's shot sailed high. Haley Locker logged San Diego State's third shot in the 43rd minute, but it finished high.
In the second half, San Diego State enjoyed more scoring chances, but could not convert. Jensen Skinner posted the first shot of the second period in the 49th minute, but was stopped by Bronco goalkeeper Molly Mettler. A minute later off a Sophie Metz corner kick, Cat Walker had her header go high.
Later in the 59th minute, the Aztecs had another corner kick where Metz found Rachael McGlinchy. The junior's blast, however, went wide.
Santa Clara increased its lead to 4-0 in the 64th minute when the ball was played over the Aztec defense. Huerta found herself with a one-on-one situation and she put her shot past Megan Allaire, who entered the game at the start of the second half.
The Broncos struck just 20 seconds later as Huerta was at it again. Parchinski passed the ball from the center to the right where the forward found herself one-on-one with the Allaire again. As she did just moments earlier, Huerta deposited her shot into the net to give SCU a five-goal cushion.
Despite the deficit, San Diego State kept attacking; starting with Walker's shot in the 68th minute. Tiffany Hurst tried getting the Aztecs on the board in the 71st minute, but her attempt was high. Locker put a quality shot on goal in the 74th minute, but was stopped by Mettler.
SDSU earned a corner kick in the 76th minute and Mariah Helmer attempted to score, but her shot was blocked. Moments later, Locker tried to get one past Mettler, but she denied the visitors once again.
Walker had one more opportunity to prevent the shutout, but her shot in the 83rd minute was saved as the Broncos handed the Aztecs their fifth loss of the campaign.
San Diego State rebounded from a rough first half to outshoot Santa Clara, 12-8. The Aztecs also enjoyed a 7-2 advantage in corner kicks for the game with all seven coming in the final 45 minutes.
SDSU returns to action on Friday, Oct. 7, when it plays at TCU. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m. CT.

LeAp, A View from the Lunch Table: Students Bringing Issues to the Table
June 1, 2015 to September 13, 2015
Various Locations
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Students from ten New York City public middle schools, with two schools representing each borough, have transformed school lunchroom tables into personalized canvases and created colorful works of public art that touch upon critical social issues in their community and across the globe. The tables, which have been installed in ten community parks across the five boroughs, are a way of giving young teens the chance to voice their opinions and reach out to the public in hopes of inspiring social change through their art. This exhibition was created by LeAp's Public Art Program in cooperation with NYC Parks and marks the largest student exhibition in the history of NYC Parks and the first to span five boroughs. The program has included visits with distinguished artists such as Jenny Holzer, Crash, Kehinde Wiley, Emma Amos, Christo, and Lorna Simpson among many others. For 34 years, LeAp (Learning through an Expanded Art Program) has provided arts–based education to over two million students K-12 throughout New York City.
Artworks can be found through September in Seward Park and Morningside Park in Manhattan, Fort Four Playground and Crotona Park in the Bronx, Washington Park and Tiger Playground in Brooklyn, Juniper Valley Park, Forest Park (Dry Harbor Playground), in Queens, and Silver Lake Park and Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island.
This exhibition is presented by LeAp.
Sing for Hope, Pop-Up Pianos
June 5, 2015 to June 21, 2015
Various Locations
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
This summer, from June 5th through June 21st, the Sing for Hope Pianos return to our city streets. In one of New York City's most vibrant public art installations, 50 artist-designed pianos are placed in parks and public spaces throughout the 5 boroughs for anyone and everyone to enjoy.
Once on the streets, neighborhood associations and community organizations serve as "piano buddies" and supervise each piano throughout the duration of the project, making sure they are protected from inclement weather. The Sing for Hope Pianos unite our city, as artists from all walks of life create daily spontaneous concerts and neighborhoods come together around the shared gift of music and art.
For more information and a list of locations visit Sing for Hope's Pop-Up Pianos website.
Chat Travieso, Boogie Down Booth
June 25, 2015 to June 24, 2016
Seabury Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Boogie Down Booth, a colorful new public installation bringing Bronx music, solar–powered lights, seating, and community art to the area under the elevated tracks is on view at Seabury park on Southern Boulevard and 174th Street in the Bronx. The second Boogie Down Booth follows last year's temporary pop–up at Southern Boulevard and Freeman Street, under the 2/5 line.
This new rendition features an updated, linear design from Chat Travieso, designer of the first Booth. Like the previous installation, the Booth provides seating, solar–powered LED lighting, and speakers streaming music from Bronx artists. The playlist, curated by the Bronx Music Heritage Center, covers a variety of genres born in or inspired by the Bronx, including salsa, jazz, Afro–Caribbean, hip–hop, Garifuna, and blues.
New to this booth are interactive elements like a community bulletin board to learn about local events, and a mural wall painted by middle and high school students from East Bronx Academy for the Future and youth from the Children's Aid Society, who will host community events at the Booth. The installation, which recycles much of the material from the previous Booth, will be open until July 2016.
This exhibition is presented by WHEDco and the Bronx Music Heritage Center.
The Art Students League of New York, Water, Gift of life
June 11, 2015 to June 10, 2016
Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
The Art Students League of New York, one of America's premier art schools, presents the Model to Monument Program (M2M), a collaboration with NYC Parks that has culminated in the installation the sculpture, Water, Gift of Life, at Van Cortlandt Park.
In response to this year's theme of Patterns in Nature, the artists created a sinuous steel twisted sculpture. The fluke of a tail runs down like a rolling wave and culminates to form the head of a water drop. The downward flow of the fish-wave form echoes the landscape of the hill of the Van Cortlandt House Museum, which drops quickly down a Southward hill, and the south-running Tibbett's Brook through Van Cortlandt Park down to the City.
The shiny stainless-steel sculpture reflects the park in a similar way that water's surface reflects the surrounding trees. Additionally the sculpture is a nod to the water sources that surrounds the piece–the Nature Center to the North which provides an exploratory, scientific perspective of the parks ecosystems. To the West, the Pool is run with engineered water systems. By contrast, Van Cortland Lake is located to the east and wetlands to the south.
This collaborative installation was created by artists Lee Apt, Caroline Bergonzi, Kate Jansyn, Sukyung Kim, Donat King, Paola Morales, and Ken Shih. The group also has works concurrently on view in Riverside South Park in Manhattan.
This exhibition is presented with the Art Students League.
Gaston Lachaise, Long-Tailed Peacock and Short-Tailed Peacock
May 7, 2015 to May 7, 2016
Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum
Pelham Bay Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
These elegant and graceful peacocks designed in 1920 were intended for a formal garden such as that on the grounds of the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum. The garden was conceived and constructed circa 1916 by the prominent architectural firm of Delano & Aldrich and recently restored in 2013.
Animals were a theme to which Lachaise returned throughout his artistic career. He sculpted peacocks, seagulls; swans, dolphins. The animals he chose to represent were generally peaceful animals. The commissions for his animal works came through his employer, the artist, Paul Manship (1885-1956) or architects with whom he worked, including Welles Bosworth (1868-1966) and Philip Goodwin (1885-1958).
In the case of the short-tailed peacock, John Deering commissioned Lachaise in 1920 to make two sculptural peacocks in stone to sit atop eight decorative spiral columns in the Marine Garden of the home he was building outside of Miami, called Vizcaya. Philip Goodwin commissioned the long-tailed peacock for a fountain on the wall of his mansion on Long Island. In a poetic twist, Goodwin worked for Delano & Aldrich between 1914-1916.
This exhibition is presented by the Lachaise Foundation, the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and the Historic House Trust.
Art Students League, Tree of Life
June 12, 2014 to June 1, 2015
Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
The Art Students League of New York, one of America's premier art schools, presents the Model to Monument Program (M2M), a collaboration with NYC Parks that has culminated in the installation of the monumental sculpture, Tree of Life, at Van Cortlandt Park.
The sculpture was created by an international team of seven selected League students during a nine-month program. In its fourth year, ASL created worked closely with the naturalists from Van Cortlandt Park to identify specific invertibre that are native to the area. The information they discovered was used by the artists to recreate artistic interpretations of the specimens. These interpretations are attached to a 12 foot tree-like structure. Tree of Life will be an educational experience for park visitors. The artists are: Laura Barmack, Janet Fekete-Bolton, Ana Sofìa Martì, Lindsay McCosh, Phyllis Sanfiorenzo, Natsuki Takauji, and Minako Yoshino.
A collaborative installation created by the team is also on concurrently on view in Riverside South Park in Manhattan. This exhibition is presented with the Art Students League.
Ruth Hofheimer, Lenape Variations
November 15, 2015 to November 15, 2016
Washington Park, Brooklyn
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Ruth Hofheimer's design contains imagery of the Lenape tribe that once inhabited the Brooklyn area, as well as native plant life and abstract forms. These elements are rendered in a flat style to evoke Native American art and pattern which was typically flat and symbolic.
This project is presented by Arts Gowanus and the Old Stone House & Washington Park
Deborah Kass, OY/YO
November 11, 2015 to August, 2016
Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Walking the line between respectful homage and brazen appropriation, Brooklyn-based artist Deborah Kass mimics and reworks the signature styles of iconic 20th century male artists —including Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Ed Ruscha, and Robert Indiana – often with a feminist twist. OY/YO is sourced from urban and Brooklyn slang, the statement "I am" in Spanish, and the popular Yiddish expression, as a riff on Ruscha's iconic word paintings.
OY/YO has been a significant and reoccurring motif in Kass' work since its first appearance in 2011, taking form in paintings, prints, and tabletop sculptures. Set alongside the iconic bridges of Brooklyn's waterfront and visible to viewers from Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge Park's Main Street lawn is an apt location for a monumental installation of OY/YO. Similar to the City of New York's "Leaving Brooklyn: Oy Vey!" sign at the Williamsburg Bridge and the "Leaving Brooklyn: Fuhgeddaboudit" sign on the BQE, OY/YO references Brooklyn's ethnic communities with whimsy and warmth.
Commissioned by Two Trees and presented in partnership with Brooklyn Bridge Park, the work will be on view through August 2016 and is presented on the occasion of the artist's exhibition No Kidding opening at Paul Kasmin Gallery in Chelsea December 9, 2015. For more information about this artwork, please visit the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy's website.
Michael Clyde Johnson, Untitled Benches, Patios, Planters in Arrangement (Parklet for Ennis Playground)
August 31, 2015 to August 30, 2016
Ennis Playground, Brooklyn
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
As a parklet within a park, the goal of Untitled Benches, Patios, Planters in Arrangement (Parklet for Ennis Playground) is to provide additional public amenities to Ennis Playground, and by extension to the wider Gowanus neighborhood. These amenities are multi-faceted: the project includes three modular components – patios, benches, and planters – which, when combined, serve to create additional distinct lounge and play areas within the park. By extending the idea of a parklet – generally conceived as an extension of sidewalk space into the street to provide additional seating and green space – to encompass the extension of these same functions within an existing public space, Parklet for Ennis Playground serves to augment existing facilities.
This project was made possible with funding from Councilmember Brad Lander, in partnership with Arts Gowanus and the Old Stone House & Washington Park
Beka Goedde, Fictitious Force
April 20, 2015 to April 19, 2016
Washington Park, Brooklyn
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Constructed from nearly 1,000 colorfully dyed concrete tiles, Fictitious Force is a temporary public art installation by artist Beka Goedde embedded in the lawn of the Old Stone House & Washington Park. The piece is arranged in concentric circles to resemble an early American hooked or braided rug, and intended to be trod upon like paving stones. This historic site of the American Revolution is particularly suited to host a work that references traditional American craft. While meditative and still, the pattern of the piece conveys a sense of movement that echoes the energy of the nearly 3,000 people attracted to the park daily.
Fictitious Force is presented with The Old Stone House & Washington Park. This exhibit is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).

December 27, 2006 -- The daily newspaper "Izvestiya Kazakhstan" reports today that the country's security service has broken up the Stepnogorsk zhamaat terrorist group that was active in the northern part of the country.
December 27, 2006
The newspaper alleged that the group was preparing to stage a number of robberies to fund plots to murder officials. The newspaper said security officials confiscated a number of weapons and some banned religious literature from the suspects.

July 04, 2014
Ukraine's parliament has approved a draft law that would give the government more control over the energy sector.
Parliament also approved, in a first reading, a bill that would allow consortiums with European and American companies to operate and modernize Ukraine's ageing gas transportation system and storage facilities.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told parliament on July 4 that Russia was "trying to tighten as many screws as possible."
"You all know that the energy market today is in a super critical situation," he said. "This is the part of the war launched by Russia against Ukraine."
Yatsenyuk added that adoption of the law would directly benefit the country's energy sector.
"Adoption of this law is clearing the way for Ukraine to build the new energy system, where Ukraine is becoming a player," he said.
He also urged parliament to give Kyiv the right to declare a "state of emergency" in the energy sector.
That would give the government the right to dictate to gas companies to whom they should supply gas and for how much, regardless of supply requirements under current contracts.
Andriy Kobolev, the head of Ukraine's state energy company Naftogaz, told reporters on July 4 that the legislation could help Ukraine get through the winter without Russian gas by reducing consumption by around 20 percent.
Kobolev said Naftogaz would advise the government to sell gas domestically at a fixed price and force Ukrainian energy companies producing gas domestically to send half of their supplies into the country's own storage facilities.
After the winter, the companies would have access to the gas and would be free to sell whoever they wanted.
Parliament initially rejected the government's energy proposals, but restarted discussion and took a vote on the two draft laws on July 4 after speaker Oleksander Turchynov warned that without them many Ukrainians could be left without heating during the upcoming winter.
Russia -- Kyiv's main supplier of gas and natural gas for Europe via Ukraine -- halted supplies to Ukraine in June in a dispute over unpaid bills.
Moscow has hinted it will take retaliatory trade measures against Ukraine over its signature last month of a free trade deal with the EU.

Movie Avatar reviews and audiences response
After 15 years, Terminator, Aliens, True Lies and Titanic fame director James Cameron has now come out with eco-minded epic Avatar that cost $500 million. The movie Avatar delivers a good message. It is all about an evil corporation using USA military to exploit the natural resources of a foreign planet.
The graphics work is awesome. Especially, the 10 feet tall creatures and the beauty of Pandora are just stunning. Avatar is an entertaining movie with the essence of love, family, relationship, humanity, action, and adventure. It can be recommended to those who love movies like Bridge to Terabithia, Jurasic Park, War of the worlds and 2012.
Besides graphics, the actors are also phenomenal in this movie Avatar. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang are truly a magnificent actor. They have delivered brilliant performance.

How to Protect Yourself: Prevention
Learn how to protect yourself from H1N1 Influenza A and other viral infection.
What can you do to reduce your chances of becoming ill?
The CDC Web site includes the following information about measures to take to help avoid infection:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Wash with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner (60% alcohol based or higher). CDC recommends that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. Singing "Happy Birthday" to yourself as you wash your hands can help you remember how long to wash them. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Avoid kissing or close contact (a distance of 6 feet or more is recommended at all times) with people who are sick or if you are experiencing flu symptoms.
- Avoid sharing drinks or food with other people. This includes sharing drinking cups, as is commonly done in some drinking games.
- Sorority and Fraternity Recruitment: Encourage hand washing, make hand sanitizer available, clean common areas often, and limit hugging and other close contact.
What is the best way to keep from spreading the virus through coughing or sneezing?
Sick students, faculty and staff should stay at home or in their residence until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). This should be determined without the use of fever reducing medicine (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).
Keep away from others as much as possible. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Then, clean your hands and do so every time you cough or sneeze.
What steps can students, faculty, and staff take to stay healthy and keep from spreading the flu?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends four main ways you may keep from getting sick with the flu:
- Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder; not into your hands.
- If you are sick, stay home or at your place of residence for at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medications (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen). Staying away from others while sick can prevent others from getting sick too. Ask a roommate, friend, or family member to check up on you and to bring you food and supplies if needed.
- Talk to your health care provider to find out if you should be vaccinated for seasonal flu and/or 2009 H1N1 flu. Information about 2009 H1N1 flu vaccination can be found at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination. Information about seasonal flu vaccine can be found at www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm.
Is there a vaccine for H1N1?
Seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccine will be made available for Ohio University benefits-eligible staff and faculty members at Hudson Health Center on Wednesday, Jan. 20, and Thursday, Jan. 28. The shots will be given from 8 a.m. until noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. in Hudson Health Center 101.
There is no preregistration and there are no health or age restrictions for receiving the vaccine.
When should I wash my hands?
- After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing
- Before preparing or eating food
- After going to the bathroom
- After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has gone to the bathroom
- Before and after tending to someone who is sick
- After handling an animal or animal waste
- After handling garbage
- Before and after treating a cut or wound
When washing hands with soap and water:
- Wet your hands with clean running water and apply soap. Use warm water if it is available.
- Rub hands together to make a lather and scrub all surfaces.
- Continue rubbing hands for 20 seconds. Need a timer? Imagine singing "Happy Birthday" twice through to a friend.
- Rinse hands well under running water
- Dry your hands using a paper towel or air dryer. If possible, use your paper towel to turn off the faucet
Remember: If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based gel to clean hands.
When using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer:
- Use a product that has at least 60% alcohol as the active ingredient.
- Apply product to the palm of one hand
- Rub hands together
- Rub the product over all surfaces of hands and fingers until hands are dry.
For a video on effective hand washing tips, click here.
What actions should pregnant students, faculty or staff take to protect themselves from the flu?
Pregnant women should follow the same guidance as the general public related to staying home when sick, hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette and routine cleaning.
Pregnant women are at higher risk of complications from flu and, like all people at higher risk, should speak with their health care provider as soon as possible if they develop flu-like symptoms. Early treatment with antiviral flu medicines is recommended for pregnant women who have the flu; these medicines are most effective when started within the first 48 hours of feeling sick.
Pregnant women should know that they are part of the first priority group to receive the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine when it becomes available. Seasonal flu vaccine is also recommended for pregnant women and can be given at any time during pregnancy.

VAN2101 Release Date: 28.04.2014 Buy on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/vandit-remixed-spring-ep/1287225 Spring's breaking out all over, and nowhere more so than in Berlin, it seems. Fully in the spirit, VANDIT HQ have singled out five of their recent crop for some seasonal remix love! They've handpicked some of the brightest remix talent out there to create a spring-celebrating EP extravaganza. Standby for a daisy-fresh delivery of musical revisions of Las Salinas, Ben Nicky, Eranga Chris Bekker & Chris Montana and Paul Trainer's latest. 'Springing' into action are remixers Bryan Kearney, Sebastian Krieg, Johan Malmgren, Cesar Lugo and Niels von Ahorn! First off the blocks, Bryan Kearney takes the beauty of Las Salinas' epic production and Sue McLaren's searing 'Break This Spell' vocal and gives the track a seismic shift into peak-time trance. Mexico's Cesar Lugo meanwhile takes the deep house of Eranga & Trisha McTeague's 'Welcome' and sets it against a pumping-yet-atmospheric trance-progressive soundscape. The front end of March saw Chris Bekker & Chris Montana 'Telling Tales' (and stealing more than a few DJ's hearts & minds) with their inventive classic house/trance/progressive cut. Passed into the ever-dependable remix hands of Sebastian Krieg, the track assumes even greater uplift still, with the man from München re-cultivating 'Tales' as cultured progressive house. Further into the spring, 'Brave Heart' was the sublime latest from Ben Nicky and now receives a lush remake from Sweden's Johan Malmgren. Having displayed his strategic remixing skills on Paul van Dyk's 'If You Want My Love' last year, Niels von Ahorn puts hands to Paul Trainer's recent 'Receptor'. A more darkly dug, driving take, he recalibrates it with hypnotizing linearism, short drops and equally quick, effective bring-backs. You've heard the tracks, but you've not heard em like this! VANDIT's Spring Remixed EP is out on April 28th. - As one of the most cutting-edge and enduringly innovative labels of the electronic music generation, VANDIT Records stays true to its philosophy 'No Art Without Artists'. At the start of the 2000s VANDIT made immediate waves releasing a string of now established club classics like Nu-NRG's 'Dreamland', The Thrillseekers' 'Synaesthesia' and Jose Amnesia's 'The Eternal' to name just a few. With an artist talent pool of established names, such as Judge Jules, Alex M.O.R.P.H and founder Paul van Dyk himself as well as lots of gifted younger blood names they keep on bringing high-quality electronic music into the scene.

Bid proposals will be opened today for a new system that will allow voice-page alerts to go out simultaneously to all of Monroe County's firefighters and ambulance personnel.
The proposals will be opened and read aloud by Gary Hoffman, director of communications for Monroe County Control Center, at 1 p.m. at the county Public Safety Center in Snydersville.
"The current (voice-page alert) system is 18 years old and is beginning to be problematic at times," Hoffman said. "The vendor no longer supports the product, so we no longer can obtain parts. We hope to settle on a bid, order the system and have it up and running within 90 to 120 days or so from the date we order it."
