President Michel Sleiman pledged over the weekend to push forward salary increases for civil servants and teachers within a three-week deadline as private school teachers agreed to resume classes in the meantime.
"The president [2] intervened with Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and they agreed that the salary hike would be referred to Parliament during the first Cabinet session after March 21," head of the Private School Teachers association Nehme Mahfoud told a news conference Sunday.
The resumption of classes at private schools did not mean the group was suspending its membership in the Union Coordination Committee, Mahfoud said, adding that teachers would continue to participate in UCC-led demonstrations. There are no disagreements within the UCC ranks, he added.
"Instead of shutting private schools as we did on several days last week, teachers will organize demonstrations after working hours and step up local protests across Lebanon," he said after a meeting of private school teachers.
"We will change our protesting style and adopt other methods that do not harm students. We can still teach the students and protest in the afternoon."
"But if for some reason the salary scale is not referred to Parliament, we will go back to strike," he said.
Mahfoud said that private school teachers, whose salaries are benchmarked against the wages of public school teachers, have not received a raise in years. Most private schools failed to even heed a minimum wage increase passed by the government for both public and private sector employees in February 2012, he said.
Mahfoud warned that official grade 12 exams and the upcoming parliamentary elections, both scheduled for the summer, would not take place if the UCC demands were not met.
"Teachers are key staff in polling stations and official exams correction and monitoring. We have several cards to play," he said.
There has been almost complete participation from public school teachers in the strike, which began about two weeks ago [3]. However, the majority of private schools have remained open.
Hanna Gharib, head of the UCC, told The Daily Star that the move by the private schools did not concern public school teachers, who would push on with their open-ended strike [4].
Describing a meeting with Mikati Saturday as a failure, he said the UCC would continue to step up protests this week, particularly Wednesday, when a general strike is scheduled [5].
"The UCC considers the position of Prime Minister Mikati shockingly negative," a statement following the meeting said. "[Mikati's position] shows that there is continuous procrastination."
The prime minister said after the meeting that the government needed more time to look into the economic impact of the wage hikes, which are expected to cost at least $1.2 billion.
"When we studied the salary scale GDP growth was 5 percent. Today growth is 1.5 percent. The conditions are completely different," Mikati said. "Even if the Parliament had passed the new salary scale, we would have restudied it."

Since 2007, Ald. Pat Dowell has represented the 3rd Ward, which encompasses the South Loop, Bronzeville, Douglas, Oakland, Kenwood and Hyde Park. One of the most independent aldermen, Dowell voted against Mayor Rahm Emanuel's speed camera ordinance, and was critical of his Infrastructure Trust, although she ultimately supported it. In 2010, Dowell received the Best Aldermanic Voting Record from the IVI-IPO. Highlights of the historic 3rd Ward include Columbia College, the Illinois Institute of Technology, South Side Community Art Center, the Chicago Bee Library, and the well-known soul food restaurant Pearl's Place.
1. What has been your most significant achievement as an alderman?
Passage of the Vacant Property Ordinance which holds banks accountable for their abandoned properties, creating and maintaining an open and accessible office with an excellent staff to serve my constituents and investing in the ward's parks and infrastructure.
2. Why and when did you decide to run for the City Council?
I had been involved in the community for some time in my role as the director of a non-profit organization and could see that many of the concerns of the residents were not being addressed and that my investment in my home was at risk. I thought my previous experiences would be a benefit to the ward. I ran for the office in 2003, lost that race and won in a run off election in 2007.
3. Do you have a political mentor? Why do you admire this person, and how did he or she influence you?
I have always looked up to former New York City Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress. I grew up in New York and followed her career closely. She was serious, effective and always in the community. In Chicago, I admired greatly Mayor Harold Washington. As a member of his staff, I found him to be bright, confident and a hard worker who loved Chicago.
4. What project is your ward most in need of?
Although we have added a new grocery store in the South Loop, we still need additional stores in the parts of the ward that remain food deserts. I am continuing to work aggressively towards that goal.
5. Has crime increased in your ward this year? What do you think are the causes of, and the solutions, for the citywide increase in violence?
There has been an overall decrease in crime in the ward, but we have seen an uptick in burglaries. There are multiple causes for the increase in violence. Chief among those causes is the loss of family stability and a lack of employment options. The solutions must be multifaceted too. We need an increase in moral values which for many can come from a stronger belief in Jesus Christ. We need to make education in our schools more relevant to today's students. We also need the political will to create jobs in the US and not outsource them overseas.
6. Have the installation of parking meters affected traffic or commerce in your ward? What could Chicago Parking LLC do to make things easier for business in your ward?
No. In parts of the ward I have worked with them to have reduced rates in areas where businesses have struggled.
7. What feature is your ward best known for?
We have a number of buildings and churches that have been important landmarks in the history of Chicago as well as its black community. Every year the Bud Billiken parade, the largest in the country, takes place in the 3rd ward. 2012 marks the 83rd year of the parade. We also have access to great transportation with the Dan Ryan expressway, CTA Red Line and Green Line and Metra trains all running through the ward. We have great educational institutions such as the Illinois Institute of Technology, Vandercook School of Music, Illinois College of Optometry, Northeastern University and Columbia College where great research and education is taking place everyday.
8. How do you feel about transferring street sweeping and garbage pickup to a grid system, rather than leaving them under the control of the alderman?
If the grid system improves the collection of garbage, provides better service to our citizens, and saves the taxpayers money, then it's a good thing to do. As Aldermen, however, we need to have the resources readily available to handle issues unique to our particular wards at a moment's notice.
9. How would you spend an ideal Saturday afternoon in your ward?
Riding my bicycle through the ward, stopping at various community events, enjoying its rich diversity and talking to the people I serve.
10. What is your favorite book, television show and meal?
I have many favorite books. Currently, I am reading No Higher Honor, a memoir by Condoleezza Rice. My favorite television show is Chopped on the Food Network. A good medium rare steak, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus and sweet tomatoes sautéed in olive oil and corn bread.
11. Do you have a tattoo?
12. What are your thoughts on social media?
Social media is a good way to get and share information, but it's really hard to control when used maliciously or when information is shared without regard to whether its correct or not.
13. How do you feel about food trucks?
I will support them in limited quantities and in designated areas.
14. Will you vote for Obama or Romney?
15. Have you ever bought a Groupon, and what was it?
Yes, for a spa.
This month, Ward Room blogger Edward McClelland's Young Mr. Obama: Chicago and the Making of a Black President will be available on Kindle for $2.99. Tracing Obama's career in Chicago from his arrival as a community organizer to his election to the U.S. Senate, Young Mr. Obama tells the story of how a callow, presumptuous young man became a master politician, and of why only Chicago could have produced our first black president.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I desperately needed a radio and MP3 player for our new kitchen, so the first thing I did was got on the net and had a good look around. I must say I probably spent a good few days doing so. I found the Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus for a good price and thought it was worth a punt. Not only is it a radio/MP3 player, but it's a handy docking station that would serve my iPhone and my sons iPod well.
I wont bore you by telling you how well it was packaged and that it comes with the usual instructions, so I'll get onto the nitty gritty. You have the choice whether you want it to run off the mains with an AC adapter or 6 x AA batteries. One thing that I didn't realise it had was a super grab handle making it really easy to carry from one place to another. It has a brightly lit clock (which you can't dim) with alarm feature and a great wireless remote that I can get to work from the other end of my 7 meter room.
I popped my iPhone into the top slot which holds it in very securely and stuck a Def Leopard track on to give it a real resting out. Needless to say it lets you have a fiddle about with the EQ settings to gain maximum performance out of it. I was overjoyed to hear that it carried the sound perfectly. The bass was amazing for such a small system, and the sound was overall rich and pretty detailed. We've used it outside on several occasions and it's eaten through my supply of batteries very quickly indeed - so I'd advise to either use it on the mains or invest in some rechargeable batteries. One thing that I've never seen before on a product was that you can actually store the remote control tidily in an integrated section of the docking station.
I would recommend this docking station to those wanting to use it as an occasional player, or to take camping. Not so great if you want to use it in the bedroom as the docking units display is very bright.
Purchased from Comet for £68.99 4 years ago
I was given this as a gift at Christmas of 2009, and I always use it with my iPod touch, I love it, my music plays clearly, it is made of high quality material, it looks good, and it even has an alarm clock!
I like the look of this docking station as it is nice, modern and stylish within the home. There is a big knob on the main screen which you use to turn the volume up and down on.
Screen -
The screen on the Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus is pretty basic stuff, at the moment when I am looking at it, all I seen on the screen is the display which says 12:26.
Sound -
The sound quality of this docking station is great. Very loud, and very clear. You can listen to your music, while doing the house work, ironing, cleaning etc etc and you don't notice a difference when you turn it up, still stays clear at a louder volume.
Durability -
As this just sits in the same position and I leave my iPod in it, there are no scratches or marks visible on it. The knob on it is still in very good condition especially with the amount of use it has had. I leave my iPod in the dock all the time because I have another one which I keep on my person.
Price -
As this was a gift I wasn't really sure of the price although at the time I think this was around £70 or £80 which in my opinion is a very good price for what you get, also as it is such a good, well known and trusted brand.
Recommend -
I would recommend this docking station to anyway, as it is so good and can be used for many things in the house, cleaning, tiding, dusting, ironing, sitting about, surfing the net etc.
Thanks for reading! I hope this has been of interest to you and has helped assist you in your decision.
I brought this unit after a previous cheaper speaker dock broke.I spent a while looking for a dock that i liked the look of as i feel that the look of a product is very import. I also wanted to make sure that the speaker had a good bass to them.
Look: The logitech pure-fi is a great looking bit of tech it has mesh over the speakers the side and top of the product has a flat black colour to them, the middle of the product is a high black gloss finish extending to the top of the product, in the middle of the dock there is a wheel that is used to control volume and is used to set the time and the alarm. under the wheel is a screen that shows the time and also show if the alarm is set. you have buttons to the side and under the screen these buttons are to set the music to shuffle and to set the alarm set the clock and to turn the alarm on and off, at the back of the dock there is a cut out where you can store the remote to ensure it doesn't get lost.
Sound: These little speakers let out a big sound i did not realise how tinny my macbook speakers where until i heard these they have a great base to them that vibrates though the house. The sound can fill a room very well as it has a simulated 3D sound which actually works.
Ease of Use: This dock is very simple to use this is the first clock that i have had where i do not worry when the clocks go back as all you have to do is to hold the time set button and instead of going all the way round the clock and then worrying about missing the right hour you just spin the wheel anti-clockwise and the hour goes backwards. Once you start the music playing the light around the wheel turns on and the lcd clocks becomes a bit lighter. the remote is simple to use it has the feel of the apple remote. although if you loose the remote there is no song control on the unit the only control from the unit is volume.
Disadvantages: It is not possible to set the alarm to play your music you have to use the standard beep that most clock radios have.
If you are looking for an inexpensive impressive iphone speaker dock, and don't mind not being able to use your own music as an alarm then buy this product you will not be disappointed
After looking for a bedside clock/dock for a while, I decided to purchase this Logitech one. The main reason being that it was on offer at a cheap price being ex-display at my local currys (about £30 if I remember rightly). The boxing was damaged but the speaker itself seemed brand new. I bought this about 2 years ago now and I still use it frequently.
Every night I dock my iPhone 4 to charge and also run my alarm clock, this is very handy as every morning it wakes me up with any song I choose and is at full battery. I was very impressed when I found out that it charged my iPhone 4, seeing as I bought it a couple years ago when the iPhone 3G was the newest iPhone out.
The remote control comes in handy when listening to music, allowing you to skip track, rewind, pause, play, shuffle, repeat etc. In terms of sound quality, I think it is top notch (talking in terms of price). It goes fairly loud while still maintaining sound quality.
Those who are looking for a cheap and cheerful iPod/iPhone dock, I would certainly recommend this. It will suffice for those who like music but are not mad on sound quality.
This machine works with both the iPhone aswell as the iPod and charges them both which is a brilliant feature, considering how few it has you dont miss them when using the Pure-Fi Express. Even with this being a cheaper version (being £40-ish) of many of the MP3 docking stations it manages to keep up with the big boys pumping out enough sound to shake your shelves and most things on it, off them! One of the few features it has is an alarm clock which you can either use on its own or if you have your iPod/iPhone plugged in you can use your iPhones alarm sounds, unfortunately you CAN'T wake up to music, just keep the small remote (no bigger than an index finger) close to hand and you can turn the choons on whenever you wake up and wake the rest of the street up with you! You can stick some batteries underneath for a reserve memory which will keep the clock time correct, otherwise if you unplug it you have to reset the time
Firstly....Arrived today having purchased from Amazon for under £40 as a birthday present for my hubby and I have to say we are both very impressed with this smart little system. Excellent clear quality sound, that doesn't distort and is not tinny at all, easily fills the house with crystal clear sounds. What it lacks for in features is makes up for in sound quality. Will also play 'Radio' from my iphone through the system.
This simple compact unit not only looks very smart and stylish with it black gloss coating and large silver central button that lights up orange when on, it's durable and robust feel gives the impression of quality for the cheap price. My iPhone 3GS fits in perfectly and snugly even with its silicone case on. Yes, It's a little bulky and although has the portable factor with use of batteries if required I wouldn't personally use it for that reason, fits perfectly in our lounge on a small unit.
No problems with the remote control although very small and I'm sure my 3 year will try and hide it if given the chance. Cannot fault this product for how much I paid, would happily recommend it and I might even get another one for upstairs in the bedroom as the alarm feature works very well too.
Oooooh, the logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus!
First up is the sound. Logitech says it has omnidirectional speaker technology, providing quality sound throughout the room. Which it does. The volume controls are strong and sensitive enough to cater for a party or for when I'm drifting off to sleep. What's so great is that even when I turn it up loud there is no sound distortion.
It's gorgeous, compact and extremely light which is why I found the sound quality so surprising. at the back there is a grip so you can cart it about if you want and can eiher be plugged into the wall or will run on batteries. When I first bought it, the system came with several different plastic plugs that you put in the dock depending on whichever iproduct you happen to have.
The alarm clock is a bit weedy unfortunately so I normally end up setting my iphone alarm which, if plugged in alerts me through the main speakers. My only beef with this system is with the alarm clock. What I want is for the alarm to be music from my iphone playlists but there is no way of setting this. I've seen it done on other speaker systems and it's a shame this one doesn't include that particular functionality.
The remote control is great, very dinky and has play, skip, pause, shuffle, repeat and volume functions as well as a little compartment at the pack of the machine to keep it in so it doesn't get lost.
There is a lot to recommend this system, for a low price you get an excellent quality, multi-use, aesthetically pleasing sound system which is eminently portable. For under £50.00 you are definitely getting your moneys worth and will likely be very pleased with this product.

City's Verizon FiOS Contract Falling Short, Says Bill de Blasio
NEW YORK—Public Advocate Bill de Blasio is concerned that certain neighborhoods are being deprived of access to Verizon's FiOS fiber optic network, under a city contract. The city, meanwhile, disputes de Blasio's calculations, arguing the city is on target in meeting contract milestones.
De Blasio, who is also a Democratic mayoral candidate, sent a letter this week to the City's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) arguing that the city is only at 51 percent of its goal. Neighborhoods such as Washington Heights, High Bridge, Astoria, Woodside, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick have largely been excluded from FiOS service, according to de Blasio.
While speaking at a mayoral forum on Friday on the topic of city technology issues, de Blasio demanded greater transparency for one of the biggest franchise agreements in the city's history. He called on the city to make its data public so that the public can better track it.
"Verizon was supposed to have provided affordable high speed internet access through fiber to almost 80 percent of city by now," de Blasio said. "Their [Verizon] feet are not being held to the fire." It is understood that Verizon has reported meeting a target of 80 percent, but the city is still in the process of verifying that information.
DoITT is disputing the claims made by de Blasio, saying the city has met its goal to date, as required by the contract.
"Virtually all New York City households have access to broadband connectivity today, and the ongoing, on-schedule deployment of Verizon fiber (known as FiOS), now estimated at 80% across the five boroughs, will bring additional competition to the broadband market," stated DoITT.
In 2008 Verizon signed an agreement with the city to provide access to its FiOS network to all New Yorkers by June 30, 2014.
"Through its franchise with the City, Verizon must build FiOS past every New York City residence by mid-2014, and we've ensured – and will continue to ensure – it does so," said DoITT.
At issue in the differing opinions appears to be a discrepancy between how the city defines "access," and how de Blasio and perhaps New Yorkers at large view it.
The city's terminology agreed upon with Verizon is "prems passed" (premises passes) not "houses connected." Theoretically, if the wiring passes by a building, the residents can access the service, but that is not how it works. The wiring must be brought into the building for an apartment or home resident to hook it up, and in many cases the wiring stops short.
The term "passed" is not defined in the contract, however, according to the Fiber to the Home Council Americas website, "The number of 'Homes Passed' is the potential number of premises to which an operator has capability to connect in a service area, but the premises may or may not be connected to the network."
The DoITT has audited the work completed for 2011, finding 66 percent of homes have fiber passing them, as required by the contract. The city has not audited Verizon's data from 2012, it is understood.
Whether or not the service is connected is up to a building's landlord, and not up to the city or Verizon, DoITT said.
According to New York State law, the landlord must let FiOS into the building if a tenant requests it, and landlords can make reasonable requests as to how it will be brought in, such as to protect the appearance, safety and functioning of the building. The law also compels the cable company, the tenant, or a combination thereof, to pay for the cost of installation and removal of the service.
Using a chart of the city and data from the state, De Blasio showed only 51 percent of New Yorkers actually have access to fiber–but it is not clear what role the term "passed" plays in the data. A call to the New York State Broadband Program Office to clarify how it defined "access" in its numbers was not returned by press time.
Multiple requests for comment to Verizon to clear up the definitions and terms in their contract were not returned by press time.
The contract has an anti "cherry-picking" provision which states, "Franchisee agrees that it shall not discriminate between or among any individuals in the availability of Cable Service or based upon the income in a local area."
"The excuse that landlords are the hold-up here just doesn't hold water," said Wiley Norvell, spokesperson for de Blasio. "In block after block in low-income areas, not a solitary building has been connected to the network. Is Verizon suggesting that these landlords are engaged in some kind of mass lockout?"
Data cited in de Blasio's letter to DoITT from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey suggests that 46 percent of the city's households cannot afford Internet access.

Experience authentic Georgian elegance is this unique large OVAL studio apartment, overlooking park. Accommodates two in cosy sleeping loft. Light a fire, cook dinner in the designer kitchen, and then head out to enjoy the attractions of the city.
Come stay in one of Dublin's unique Georgian apartments, a perfect oval room, situated on Mountjoy Square, in the heart of Dublin's North Georgian core, and just minutes from O'Connell Street.
This large studio apartment is on the ground floor of a beautiful redbrick townhouse, built in 1792. Both house and apartment retain all their original features, combined with modern comforts.
The apartment has a fantastic 10ft window and overlooks a quiet side street, with an oblique view of the park. It has a working black Kilkenny marble fireplace with a spectacular gilt over-mantle mirror. The log basket is fully stocked with fuel- we charge cost price on an 'honour system'. The fully equipped kitchen has a granite worktop, a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher and microwave.
The rest of the apartment is comfortably furnished with period furniture including a Georgian oval 'hunt' dining table and four matching chairs, a comfortable 6 ft., sofa, TV & DVD player along with an iPod/iPhone dock for music. A small library of Irish books, and DVD's is available.
The bedroom is upstairs and overlooks the apartment. It has a comfortable contract-quality double bed, Siberian white goose down duvet and pillows and pure Pima/Egyptian cotton sheets.

Airport bus (41) passes door, 8 min. walk to LUAS Red line, DART, (Connolly and Tara) and city busses. Dublin Bikes stand opposite house.
In general, shopping hours are 9.30-6pm, with late-night shopping till 8pm on Thursdays. Sunday opening is from noon.
The Old Music Store on North Frederick Street, a few blocks NW of us, does a good Irish breakfast in comfortable surroundings. The Kingfisher Café, a no-frills 'caff' on the corner of Parnell Square and Parnell Street West is good for breakfast, with friendly and efficient service. Good value, and good fish and chips later in the day.
Tops in Pops, just down the street to the right, for fresh local produce and basic groceries, 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. They are a fourth-generation local business, who have been trading on the site since 1931. The Londis corner store next door opens 8am to 10pm, but charge for privilege. There is an ATM machine at the back, right hand side of the store.
Dunne's Stores, is the indigenous supermarket and department store chain, and has branches in every sizeable town throughout the country. There are two local branches. In North Earl Street, opposite O'Connell Street's Spire, the Off-Licence (liquor store) is in a separate premises, a few doors apart - look for the James Joyce statue. You will find a bigger branch in the ILAC Shopping Centre, flanked by Henry Street, Moore Street and Parnell Street West (Moore Street entrance is opposite Paris Bakery).
There is Metro Tesco on Parnell Street West, just past the Rotunda Hospital. A main branch is to be found in the basement of the Jervis Centre, off Henry Street.
Carney's Butchers, is another multi-generational local family business, which prides itself on the quality of its meat. In keeping with local tradition, they sell fresh fish on Friday's.
F.X. Buckley's Butchers have two local branches; Moore Street and Talbot Street. This is a very old Dublin business and they have everything; free-range pork, beef and lamb from their own herds, poultry, game in season and fish, and, in the Moore Street branch, a deli counter for cooked meats next door. They are very obliging, and the lads have a great line in smart (sassy) chat.
Foley's Pharmacy on Parnell Street East is a 100+ year-old family business; they are very helpful. Opening hours: Monday-Saturday 9am 6pm.
There is a late-night pharmacy, Hickey's at 55 Lower O'Connell Street, (west side, within the block closest to the river). Opening hours: 8am -10pm M-F, 8.30am-10pm Saturday. 10am 10pm Sunday. Web: (EMAIL HIDDEN)
Nearest Post Office is Parnell Street East, at corner of Marlborough Street, but much nicer is the GPO, O'Connell Street. 1828 façade, but badly damaged in the 1916 Rising, and largely rebuilt in 1928. The main hall is beautiful, with its entire original, 1928, fittings intact. It also contains the iconic statue, by Oliver Shepherd, The Dying Cuchullin. You will find a booklet with postal rates in the black folder.
Allied Irish Bank has a branch on O'Connell Street, at the SW junction with Parnell Street, opposite the Rotunda Hospital. ATM in the wall.
Bank of Ireland has a branch at Lower O'Connell Street, on the east side of the street, between Middle Abbey Street and Ashton Quay. ATM inside, opens

Tel:(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN).
My favourite local is W. J. Kavanagh's on Dorset Street, just two blocks north of us, on the main road to the airport. It's an old Dublin pub, which has undergone a gentle transformation - a huge selection of craft beers, and a small, artisan-based seasonal menu. very laid back and no tourists.
'The Cobalt Cafe', in a beautiful Georgian house on North Great Georges Street, which doubles as a gallery, is great for lunch. Parnell Street, Dublin's emerging 'Chinatown' is just a half a block to the south. Newly opened, on Parnell Square West is 'The Hot Stove', serving modern Irish food in a smart and comfortable setting.
Across O'Connell Street, on Moore Street, you will find the Paris Bakery, and (new) Deli. They serve all day, until 10 pm; superb pastries and great coffee from 8am, as well as excellent bistro-style meals, and fantastic bread.
Nearer the river, 'Le Bon Crubeen' (crubeen=pig's trotter- it's a modern Franco-Irish restaurant) is on Talbot Street, as is the venerable and immensely popular 'Talbot 101'. It is packed to the gunnels with locals between 5.54 and 7.15, enjoying their pre-theatre supper before the Abbey curtains rise at 7.30, when they relinquish their seats for the rest of us!
On the riverfront, I love Panem, facing the Millennium Bridge, for a quick coffee and a delicious Sicilian almond biscuit, baked on the premises. A few doors down, you'll find a cluster of Italian bars, cafes and restaurants serving good quality food. Half a block to the east is the trendy 'Winding Stairs' restaurant, with its book-lined walls (relics of a former second-hand bookshop-cum-cafe of the same name), while The Woollen Mills, opposite the Halfpenny Bridge, has a sophisticated casual menu, based on 'plates' for sharing.Back on Capel Street, locals rave about Brother Hubbard for lunch.
LOCAL PUBS include the 'Hill 16' just opposite the house, on Gardiner Street - very popular with the GAA crowd on match days (the Gaelic Athletic Association Stadium, Croke Park, is just 3 blocks to the east), they pull a superb 'pint'. 'The Heritage Parnell', on Parnell Street West, just around the corner from O'Connell Street 'The Flowing Tide', on the corner of Marlborough Street, opposite the Abbey Theatre, is one of my favorites - after the curtain goes down in the Abbey, half the cast are likely to be at the bar. A few doors closer to O'Connell Street is Mulligan's, another very nice pub, dating from the Edwardian era. 'The Church' on Mary Street, in a converted 1720's church, is another fine place for a drink; the former owner won many accolades for the high quality of the restoration. Capel Street has many typical local pubs, which have the added benefit of serving a largely local population. They include Mc'Neill's' which is good for traditional music, and Slattery's . 'The Black Sheep' has the local craft beers covered, and does good bar food, (as does its sister pub, 'The Brew Dock', on Store Street, at the bottom of Gardiner Street. The north side traditional music 'musician's' bar is 'The Cobblestone', at the top of Smithfield, and is suitably grungy.
Henry Street, off O'Connell Street, at the SPIRE, is the premier shopping street on the north side of the river. Here you will find Arnott's the local department store, which highlights Irish fashion and design, throughout the store, and has several nice cafes. Henry Street also contains large branches of Debenhams and Marks&Spencers, as well as branches of most of the high street fashion chains. There are two large shopping centres, the Jervis, with a large branch of Tesco's in the Basement, and the ILAC, which has a Dunnes Department Store, with a Food Hall in the basement. (You can shop for fresh produce on adjacent Moore Street, Dublin's oldest street market, now also home to a thriving cluster of ethnic food markets and restaurants.) Clery's Department Store is on O'Connell Street- have a look at the elegant 1940's neo-classical façade, a mini version of Selfridges's in London.
The North side of Parnell Square is home to the city's Hugh Lane Gallery of Modern Art; we share a significant collection of Impressionist painting with the Tate Gallery in London, part of the Hugh Lane Bequest, which is rotated in seven-year cycles. Next door is the Writer's Centre, and next door again, is the Writer's Museum, with a Michelin-starred restaurant in the basement, the amazing Chapter One. Down on the East side of Parnell Square is the beautiful jewel-box that is the Gate Theatre - part of the 18th-century entertainment complex established by the entrepreneurial Dr. Bartholomew, to help support his new Rotunda Maternity Hospital (the oldest purpose-built such hospital in the world, and still delivering babies on a daily basis, 270 years later (9000 is 2012).
You could be seated in either the Abbey or Gate Theatres within 10 minutes of leaving the house, and the James Joyce Cultural Centre is even closer, on North Great Georges Street (don't forget to check out the Cobalt Cafe, opposite).
Hop on the Luas Red Line, going west, in Abbey Street, halfway between Mountjoy Square and the river, and you will be dropped at the 'Museum'. The National Museum, Collins Barracks, housed in an old military barracks, dating from 1702, contains the Decorative Arts Collections, (basically, everything post 1700). Descend at the next stop, 'Heuston' for IMMA, Ireland's National Museum of Modern Art, housed in the old Kilmainham Hospital, built in the1660's. It pre-dates the more famous Chelsea Hospital in London by several years.
Not to be missed is the Old Jameson Distillery, in Smithfield. Jameson was distilled here until 1971, when three historic distilleries amalgamated, and centralized distilling in Midleton, Co. Cork. The Museum is very well presented; one is guided around the distilling floor, among the huge old pot stills before retiring to the Bar to sample the goods.
Nearby is one of the oldest churches in Dublin, St.Michan's, on Church Street, dating from the mid-11thc. There are several mummified bodies in the basement, thought to be Crusaders. When I was a child, one was allowed to shake their hands…..
In the south city centre, the RESTAURANT HUB is in the pedestrian streets to either side of Grafton Street, and in Temple Bar. Particular favourites of mine include:
* Nede, Temple Bar Square
* Eden Bar and Grill, South William Street
* The Green Hen, Wicklow Street
* Fallon and Byrne, Exchequer Street, basement wine-bar, full service restaurant first- floor, and coffee bar within the food-hall on the ground floor.
* Fade Street Social, Fade Street, tapas bar and full-service restaurant.
* The Rustic Stone, Exchequer Street, upmarket, sophisticated and healthy 'fast food'.
* Cornucopia, Wicklow Street- vegetarian café day, full service by evening.
* The Port House, South William Street, wine bar and tapas.
* Pinxto, Crowe Street, Temple Bar, as above, same management.
Southside city-centre TRADITIONAL PUBS we like are:
* Mulligan's, Poolbeg Street
* Neary's, Chatham Street
* Grogan's, South William Street
* International Bar, Wicklow Street
* O'Neill's, Suffolk Street
* The Dawson Lounge, Dawson Street
* The Stag's Head, Connaught Court
* The Long Hall, South Great Georges Street
* Doheny and Nesbitt's, Merrion Row
* Kehoe's, South Anne Street
* The Duke, Duke Street
Fronting the river, TEMPLE BAR, with its vibrant mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, markets and cultural institutions occupies an area three blocks deep and ten blocks long. At the western end, look out for the two branches of the Queen of Tarts- a wonderful teas shop that offers really good home baking and teas and coffees, all served on mismatched antique china (Lord Edward Street and Cow's Lane).
TEMPLE BAR FARMERS MARKET, is held every Saturday in Meeting House Square, 9-4.30, now has a smart new tensile roof for wet days, and is a good place to rub shoulders with the locals, whilst sampling local food culture. Don't miss the Oyster Stall, Hick's Pork Butchers, or David Llewyllan's fantastic 'Double L' local cider- 100% apple (not even water), and the two local cheese stalls, among others. Don't' forget to check out the overflow stalls on Curved Street, where Rossa Crowe's fantastic bread is on offer- Rossa took himself off to France for two years to train, and now produces slow fermented breads, made with the very best organic flours.
TRINITY COLLEGE is a good orientation point; from here it is easy to find the mediaeval core, the cultural/political hub of the country around Kildare Street, and the Grafton Street fashion hub.
The campus occupies a 40-acre (16ha.) site, and is over 400 years old, though what one sees today are mainly beautiful eighteenth-century buildings. It is worth a wander around, after a visit to spectacular Long Library, to see the Book of Kells and other illustrated Celtic manuscripts.
From Front Gate, look south to Grafton Street or west up College Green and Dame Street, which lead to the mediaeval core. At the brow of the hill you will find:
* Dublin Castle (visit the State Apartments, the Chester Beatty Library and the lovely garden in front (which is actually the helicopter-landing pad for the Castle).
* The City Hall with its 'Museum of the Capital' in the basement is worth a look- the Hall is free, and there is a nominal charge for the Museum.
* Christchurch Cathedral
* Dublinia-in the Christchurch Chapterhouse (Viking Exhibition).
* Old Saint Audeon's Church, built almost into the city wall.
* St Patrick's Cathedral, and historic park beside.
* Marshe's Library-the oldest public library in these islands, 1701.
* Francis Street- the Antiques Quarter.
* Thomas Street/Meath Street, for a touch of 'Old Dublin'.
* The Guinness Storehouse.
* Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, (IMMA) Ireland's National Gallery of Modern Art, with its wonderful, recently restored formal garden.
KILMINHAM GAOL is worth a visit, and tells the story of Irish Nationalism. It can be reached via the grounds of IMMA, passing Bully's Acre, and old graveyard, where Brian Boru was reputedly rested on his way to his final burial place in Armagh.
Alternatively, exit onto Nassau Street, with its cluster of high-quality shops showcasing the best of Irish crafts - fashion, knitwear, weaving, glassware, ceramics and contemporary jewellery - the Kilkenny Shop has a great cafe upstairs, with views over College Park.
Continue along the College Park railings till you reach Kildare Street, the cultural-institutional hub of the country. All of our national cultural institutions have free admission. Here you will find the National Library, and the National Museum, facing each other over the forecourt of Leinster House, home to the Oireachtas, our National Parliament. The National Library has a lovely exhibit on the poet, W.B. Yeats, and the Treasury, in the National Museum houses both the Bronze Age and Early Christian collections.
On the opposite side of the block, on Merrion Street/Merrion Square, you will find the National Gallery, and the Natural History Museum (known to Dubliner's of my father's generation, as 'The Dead Zoo'. This is a very refreshing look to the past, with absolutely no interpretation, and nothing, not even a postcard, to buy).
The National Gallery is halfway through a four-year renovation programme; in the meantime, the Millennium Wing, on Clare Street, has a 'highlights of' exhibition, and the Café and Gift Shop are also accessed via the Clare Street Entrance.
Two operators offer Hop-On/Hop-Off tours:
They both offer a 2-day ticket, and cost roughly the same price - check them out online before you make up your mind.
One can buy an integrated LEAP card in most newsagents, at train stations, and in the Dublin Bus Head Office at 42 O'Connell Street (on the west side of the street, just north of the Spire). This can be used on the LUAS, DART, some suburban mainline trains, and on Dublin Bus routes.
There is also a 3-day tourist pass, the Freedom Ticket, which provides good value. €28 will give you 72 hours transport, starting at the Airport; Airlink from the airport, the Hop-On-Hop –Off tourist bus and all local bus routes. Web: (URL HIDDEN)
•The DART, the local electric commuter train, runs north/south along the coast. The northside city centre station is Connolly, on Amiens Street, facing Talbot Street, but I usually suggest people use Tara Street, as Connolly is also a mainline station, and is very big, and a bit confusing. Tara is purely a commuter station, and is about the same distance. It is on George's Quay, just south of the Custom House. The other south-side city centre station is Pearse, on Westland Row, at the south end of the Trinity campus.
•The LUAS Red Line runs east-west through the north side of the city, as far east as the docks, and serves both Connolly and Heuston mainline stations. The nearest stop to Mountjoy Square is Abbey, on Middle Abbey Street, opposite the Abbey Theatre. The LUAS Green Line serves the south suburbs; Ranelagh, Dundrum, Leopardstown Racecourse, and on out to Cherrywood, on the county boundary with Wicklow.
•Main cross-city bus routes run north-south through O'Connell Street. The No.7 terminates on Mountjoy Square North, and there is a 'shopper's fare' of 50c, to Grafton Street- alight at Trinity. On the return journey it skirts the Trinity campus and comes along Pearse, to the east of the campus - catch it on Clare Street, at the Millennium wing of the National Gallery.
•DUBLIN BIKES are free to use for the first half hour, and have a stand on Mountjoy Square West, but one needs to go to the Princes Street stand (to the right hand side of the General Post Office (GPO)), to purchase a short term card. It costs €2, and is only available to credit card holders.

•Murphy and Sheehy, Castle Market, stock Irish tweed, Irish linen and a quirky selection of designer fabrics. Look out for their 'Linen Union (linen/cotton blend) Glass Cloths- the best ever for polishing glassware, they make a super, useful, inexpensive and lightweight traditional gift!
•The Cloth Shop, St. William Street, for interesting designer fabric, including a good selection of Irish Linen, and Liberty of London
INDEPENDENT BOOKSHOPS and MUSIC STORES
Eason's, O'Connell Street, is a Dublin institution for over 100 years. It encompasses a large stationery department, a branch of Tower Records on the top floor, academic books in the basement, a nice café and two floors of general books. It is a good place to browse books of Irish interest, and they have a really good Information Desk.
Chapters, Parnell Street West is my 'local'. John Gannon is one of the best booksellers in the business, and his staff are hand-picked enthusiastic bibliophiles, one and all. Stock is a mixture of the latest releases, and carefully chosen remaindered books. Their ordering service is superlative, and they ALWAYS know exactly what one is talking about, even with just the vaguest, half-remembered clues from a newspaper review. Very strong on contemporary fiction, natural history, non-fiction and books of Irish interest. Extensive second-hand section upstairs.
The Secret Bookstore, Wicklow Street is another favourite. It's tucked away down a passage, near the L'Occitane shop and often throws up gems among its large second-hand stock. An eclectic music store occupies the rear of the shop.
Cathach Rare Books, Duke Street, specializes in Irish first editions, and have an interesting selection of Irish maps and prints.
Stokes Books is another interesting antiquarian/secondhand shop, specializing in books of Irish interest. You'll find it in Georges Street Arcade.
Claddagh Records, Cecelia Street, Temple Bar, is primarily a music publisher, but they have a retail outlet in Temple Bar, which is the oldest independent music shop in Dublin, and specializes in traditional Irish music, with some interesting World Music additions.
The Celtic Note, on Nassau Street, beside the Kilkenny Shop is another good bet.
Roman Catholic:
Many Catholic churches have Mass on Saturday evening, in addition to morning Masses.
•St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, Upper Gardiner Street. Gospel Mass, 7.30pm Sundays, September to mid June.

Moore Street, Dublin 1.
Catch the No.46A bus, (heading north on O'Connell Street to the Phoenix Park- the largest enclosed urban park in the world, 1750 acres behind a seven-mile-long stone wall. Ashtown Castle Interpretive Centre, with its wonderful walled garden and café is a good place to orient oneself. From here, on Saturdays, it is possible to visit Aras an Uachtarian, the official residence of our President. One can also visit Farmliegh, the Official State Guesthouse, a former Guinness mansion. Among it's attractions are an art gallery, café, occasional free concerts, and regular weekend Farmer's Markets. The Park also houses the Dublin Zoo, (1827, the second-oldest Zoo in the world, after London's Regent Park Zoo). Several herd of Fallow Deer roam at liberty.
Many sports are catered for; there is Polo ground, a cricket club, and lots soccer pitches. The Duke of Wellington is commemorated by a marvelous granite obelisk, which can be seen for miles. The area know as the Forty Acres affords superb views over the city, with the Royal Hospital and Guinness in the foreground, along the south side of the River Liffey. Phoenix Park can also be reached via the LUAS Red Line, direction Tallagh, heading west. Alight at 'Museum' and take a detour into the National Museum-Collins Barracks, which houses the Decorative Arts, post-1700, wonderful collections of silver, furniture, glass and other artifacts.
Just up the road, in Glasnevin there are three worthwhile attractions: Glasnevin Cemetary, was founded by Daniel O'Connell as one of his first initiatives, post Catholic Emancipation in 1829, to provide a dignified place for Catholic burial. The Glasnevin Musuem is new, and has superlative displays of Nationalist history. They also have a very good Geneology Department.
The National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, date from the end of 18thC. Though relatively small, they contain an internationally-aclaimed collection of plants and three iconic Glasshouses, by Turner of Dublin, which have all been restored in the recent past. There is a nice café in the Gardens, and entry is free. The Gravedigger's Pub, over-looking a Green, is not to be missed. It got its name from the fact that there used to be a hatch in the rear wall, through which the gravediggers were served. They do nice simple pub food, and one can sit outside on sunny days. Walk back into town, and stop at either the The Botanic Bar at Harte's Corner or the Brian Borus, typicl local bars. The Porter House, at Cross Guns Bridge, which is a micro-brewery, with nice food, is on the corner of the Royal Canal. Take a stroll east down the canal bank, and you will see swans, and moor-hens going about their business. At the next bridge, at Dorset Street look out for the lifesize bronze statue of Brendan Behan, a local author. From here is just a few minute's stroll up Belvidere Place, with its charming stepped terraces of tall Georgian houses, to Mountjoy Square.
Another favorite is the Marino Casino, in Fairview/Clontarf, an early 18th century pleasure house, built to the design of Sir William Chambers, for Lord Charlemont, purely for entertaining, also just a few miles by bus, north of the city centre.
Catch the DART, the coastal commuter train, heading north, at Tara Street Station, on the South Liffey quays, at Butt Bridge, and take a short ride. You have the choice of Howth (a working fishing village) or Malahide.
Howth Demesne or Howth Head, behind the village will both afford walks with great views; the Harbour has a dozen restaurants along the quay- ranging from take-out fish and chips to the very upmarket. Book an early-evening window table at Aqua, and be astonished by the sunset over the coast, looking north-west. Another favourite of mine is Deep, midway along the quay (and do watch out for the local tame and greedy Harbour Seal, who begs shamelessly from the trawler men, who tie up alongside).
Malahide is a charming village, with some of the most expensive urban residential properties in the country. Good food and good shopping are to be had here. On the edge of the village you will find Malahide Castle and Demesne, open to the public, which includes a renowned private Arboretum, as Milo de Malahide, the last of his family, (who had occupied the castle continuously since Norman times, in the 10th-12th centuries) was a significant plants-man. The Castle contains the National Portrait Collection, as was as magnificent furniture and other contents. There is a smart new branch of the AVOCA Shop and Café in the Courtyard.
South of the city you will find Rathfarnham Castle, and its Berkeley Costume and Toy Collection. Marley Park is a little further, just at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. It has wonderful parkland with easy walks, and a magnificent walled garden with a nice cafe. The No.16 bus, from O'Connell Street will leave you close by.
Powerscourt is at the edge of Enniskerry, its associated estate village, at the end of the No.44 bus route, which winds its way through the south side suburbs, into Wicklow, through the Scalp, a deep and picturesque glacial valley. The 19th century gardens are fabulous, and make great use of the 'borrowed landscape' beyond. The terrace and Nepture fountain are centred on the Sugarloaf mountain, which marks the beginning of the Wicklow Mountains. The Powerscourt Waterfall, part of the same estate, is a few miles further on, and there are beautiful, way-marked, woodland and moorland walks in the hills nearby. Do be mindful; these 'mountains' can be deceptive- while not high, they can be treacherous, as weather conditions can change in minutes. Stick to the way-marked paths, and do keep an eye on the weather.
Take the DART south to Bray and Greystones - via Dun Loughaire, Dalkey and Killiney - all interesting villages, with many cafes and restaurants.
Killiney Hill, with its eighteenth century obelisk at the summit, is a short climb that results in amazing views over Dublin Bay, and down into the Wicklow Mountains beyond. There is a nice pub in in the 'village'- 'The Druid's Chair'.
Dalkey is a charming village with old-fashioned shops and lots of nice pubs, cafes and restaurants. The local Dalkey Castle Heritage Centre, is worth checking out, and in the summer run a theatre programme, and walking tours.
Bray Esplanade is a classic Victorian seaside amenity, sturdily built from local granite - the perfect place to enjoy an ice-cream. Campo di Fiori, either the Restaurant or the Café, both near the train station and the north end of the Promenade, are particular favourites of mine.
If one is feeling energetic, one could contemplate the Cliff Walk from Bray to Greystones - 4miles/6km along the rough cliff path. Lots of nice pubs for a pint of Guinness at the other end, The Hungry Pear is my favourite café, among many. The DART will take you straight back into the city. But.. make sure to do it in the morning, as by mid-day the path is in shade, and it can be windy and cold.
Travelling into the rich plains of Kildare, by the No. 67 bus route, you will come to the historic village of Celbridge, just twelve miles from the city centre. Castletown House is Ireland's finest Palladian mansion, and was saved from destruction by Desmond Guinness, in the early 1960's. He purchased it from the construction company who had acquired it. They intended to demolish it, to make way for a vast suburban housing estate. The Irish Georgian Society, founded by Desmond Guinness, restored the house and furnished it with the help of many volunteers and sponsors, and opened it to the public, a heroic task for a small membership conservation society. Today, it is in State ownership, and it is the flagship Georgian heritage property of Ireland. It is beautifully presented, and the parklands are undergoing restoration.
A local bus, or the commuter train from Connolly Station in Amiens Street, will take one to Maynooth, a charming University town, with another magnificent Palladian mansion, Carton House, now operating as a very upmarket hotel and golf club.
Lots of companies offer day-long coach tours. Some involve very long days, i.e, Cliffs of Moher in Clare and the Giant's Causeway on the Antrim coast. Two more local, and very worthwhile ones are either:
The Boyne Valley Tour (Newgrange Neolithic ( 5000 yr old World Heritage Site) / Mellifont Cistercian ruins- (12thC.)/ Monasterboice Early Christian (6th-8thC.)
The Wicklow-Glendalough Tour (Powerscourt / Wicklow Mountains National Park and Glendalough (Glen of the Two Lakes) a 6thC. Early Christian site, in beautiful wooded valley.
Details of both of these trips, and others, are available in the big black folder in the apartment.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep all correspondence in the string on the site. I cannot guarantee that I will even see, let alone respond to, emails sent to my private email address.
PLEASE NOTE- there is restricted ceiling height in the sleeping loft, and the bed is LOW. Please study the photographs, and read the descriptions carefully.
THE APARTMENT IS PRESENTED AS A DOUBLE UNIT. I will assume that is what is required, unless told otherwise. A 90cm contract quality foldaway bed is available for an extra guest. If the apartment is required as a TWIN- there is an additional charge of €10 per rental period, to cover the cost of the extra laundry.
I regret that I can no longer offer parking on-site.
I have negotiated a discount rate with the local QPark multi storey car park, which is two blocks South and two blocks West of us on Cathal Brugha Street, at the junction with Marlborough St. It's €5 overnight 5pm- 10am, or €12.50 per single entry/exit 24 hr lay-over.
My advice would be to return the car early- I can't imagine that you will need it in Dublin....We have a labyrinthine one-way system, designed in part to discourage private motorists from cluttering up the city centre, AND, at the moment, half the city streets are dug up, to facilitate track-laying for the new cross city tram line, due to come into service in December 2017.
I will leave some discount coupons on the table in the apartment.
LATE ARRIVALS ( after 8pm) need to be signalled well in advanced.
EARLY MORNING ARRIVALS are also by prior arrangement. We can take in luggage AFTER 9am, and can give you keys to come back at your leisure, after 2pm. I REGRET THAT WE CANNOT ACCEPT LUGGAGE PRIOR TO 9AM.
The house has been painstakingly restored, with wooden floors in the common areas, and cork flooring in the apartment, so NO STILETTOES, please.
NO FOOD OR DRINK, apart from water, to be taken upstairs. Tea/coffee/wine and expensive white sheets are a disaster waiting to happen.
Please be mindful of security, and remember to DOUBLE LOCK THE FRONT DOOR, as you enter and leave. The top lock is a night latch, but the bottom one is a deadbolt, which needs to be locked, when both coming and going from the building.
Please DO NOT OPEN THE CENTRE SASHES OF THE WINDOW- they are curved and the tolerance is very tight, a design issue that is not easily resolved. The side sashes are on spring balances, and are very easy to operate, though you will have to unlock them (key is hanging over the sink). Please keep them locked when they are closed.
Your consideration of other guests is much appreciated: please be quiet between the hours of 10pm and 9am.
When you are leaving, it is very helpful if you would strip the bed and leave the sheets and towels in two separate piles outside the door.
PLEASE TURN OFF THE HEATING, by turning the dial on the boiler all the way to the right. In summer, the electric water heater, controls located in the wardrobe, on the left hand side, needs to be turned off as you leave, by flicking up the double switches on the control panel in the wardrobe.
If I am not around when you are ready to leave, please separate the keys, and leave the apartment keys in the top lock, and the door open. Please lock the door and 'post' the front door keys in the letterbox.
Otherwise, please treat the house as you would your own home.
I wish you a very enjoyable stay in Dublin!

I've not come across a worse broadband than sky's. It takes me forever to do work, watch youtube clips and much worse. Forget about connecting your xbox 360 or any other devices to watch videos: sky can't even supply enough speed to watch sky go! I've researched a few problems and they know what issues they have but do no more than acknowledge this. But don't take my word for it...read the reviews on sky's own website! they can't even get good reviews on that! VERDICT: terrible service, don't buy :)

This is kind of hard to believe but Rihanna is apparently suing her accountant for making her broke. According to TMZ, he mishandled her money, leaving her "effectively bankrupt" several years ago.
The legal docs reportedly claim that Ri-Ri had $11 million in early 2009 and by the end of the year, only had roughly $2 million remaining. Which means that Rihanna effectively spent about $9 million less than 12 months … what would you do with $9 million?? Oh and TMZ reports that the singer's net worth is now an estimated $43 million so she's not "bankrupt" with only $2 million anymore…THANK GOD.
Reports are saying that Khloe Kardashian and The Game hit up Club Tru in Hollywood on Monday night. (Um, who goes clubbing on a Monday?!) A video was captured of Khloe just twerking away all over his…lap…? Now you're probably thinking…Gillian, give her a break, that's what happens when you go to the bar with your friends…ok well how about this: Khloe's 58-year-old mother Kris Jenner was there to watch and chaperone and even joined in at one point. This family dude…to check out that disturbing video from TMZ you can CLICK HERE.

Social psychology has much to offer real world problems, especially in industrial and organizational settings. Originally published in 1995, in Social Psychology at Work leading researchers in their respective fields discuss recent findings and their implications for the commercial world of work.
All the contributors have been greatly influenced by the late Michael Argyle, to whom this book is dedicated. They examine aspects of the workplace from the perspectives of personality and individual difference, social psychology and organizational psychology. Subjects covered include the effects of age on work, leadership, productivity, how we are socialized for work, stress and anxiety, and the effect of the physical environment on working behaviour.

The Interrelation of Stock and Options Market Trading‐Volume Data
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): JOSEPH H. ANTHONY
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 949-964
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1988.tb02614.x
This research empirically investigates the relation between common stock and call option trading volumes. The paper hyothesizes and tests a sequential flow of information between the stock and option markets. If information trading for CBOE‐listed firms is predominantly accomplished through option trading, then existing research methodologies may be biased against finding any significant economic consequences in those instances where option listing is an important variable. Results indicate that trading in call options leads trading in the underlying shares, with a one‐day lag.

Less Than Half of 17-year-olds in Israel Qualify for Matriculation
Statistics released by Education Ministry show that 81.8 percent of 17-year-olds reach 12th grade.
Less than half of 17-year-olds are eligible to receive a matriculation certificate, according to statistics released by the Education Ministry yesterday.
Out of the 115,100 17-year-olds, the percentage of those entitled to a matriculation certificate merely inched up in 2006/07 from the previous school year to 46.3 percent, the Education Ministry said.
The statistics show that 81.8 percent in that age group had reached the 12th grade. In 2006/07, 74.4 percent of 12th graders sat for the matriculation exams.
According to Education Minister Yuli Tamir, "principals must be backed up who have chosen to uphold the educational goal of completing 12 years of schooling over a different and popular goal - to have more and more students eligible for matriculation."
An analysis of the numbers by population subgroup reveals that in the Jewish sector (both the secular and Orthodox systems, and for the first time, the ultra-Orthodox sector) the rate of eligibility rose to 51.8 percent, around 1 percent higher than the previous year.
In the Arab and Druze sector the figures remained stable from the previous year, at 35.6 percent and 43.7 percent respectively. The rate of eligibility among Bedouin students was 31 percent, a slight improvement over the previous year.
The statistics also show that while some 2,800 more students reached the 12th grade in 2006/07 compared with the previous year, almost every fifth student drops out before this time. The differences between sectors in this regard is notable. Some 13.5 percent of Jewish 17-year-olds dropped out before they reached the 12th grade, as opposed to 18 percent in the non-Jewish sector.
During the last school year the Education Ministry changed the method for calculating eligibility for matriculation certificates to include the results of the winter exam, which gives students another chance to improve their grades and raises the general rate of eligibility.
In the Orthodox public school system, 64.3 percent of students were eligible for matriculation, compared with 62.3 percent in the non-Orthodox system.
In the ultra-Orthodox system, where relatively few students sit for the matriculation exams, the rate of eligibility was 21.7 percent.
In the college track, 62 percent of students passed matriculation, compared with 47.2 percent in the vocational track.
Among 12th-grade girls, 64.4 percent were eligible for matriculation, compared with 51.3 percent of boys. This gap has been explained by the fact that more boys drop out of school than girls.
Regarding the higher level of matriculation requirements for university entrance (at least four units of English and three units of math), some 13 percent of students who attained matriculation certificates did not do so at university-entrance level. Of all Israeli 12th graders, 40.3 percent passed the matriculation exam at a level meeting university-entrance requirements.

When Derry schoolteacher Brian McGilloway decided to turn his hand to writing he never dreamed that he would one day be able to announce one of his books was resting comfortably in the New York Times bestseller list.
But seven years after his debut novel, Borderlands, was publishing Brian McGilloway's novel 'Little Girl Lost' has spent three weeks in the most prestigious book chart in world - outselling John Grisham and Lee Child.
"I can't say it's a dream come true because it's beyond anything I ever dreamed of.
"Any author just wants to be read - and hopes maybe to sell internationally. But to hit the New York Times bestseller list? I would never have thought that would happen."
The book at the centre of the selling frenzy is 'Little Girl Lost' - the first of the DS Lucy Black series of novels- and the first of the books McGilloway set in his native Derry.
It tells the story of a young girl, found wandering in Prehen Woods. She is covered in blood which is not her own and it is up to DS Lucy Black to get to the bottom of the mystery.
"I'm particularly proud of this book," McGilloway, who has written a total of seven novels, said "because it was the first one set in Derry and in particular in Prehen - where I grew up. It's set around the woods and the quarry - places that were very much central to my childhood."
And while the novel has a very Derry setting, it has not stopped it selling internationally. McGilloway is published in 12 countries. Little Girl Lost sold in excess of 300,000 copies on Kindle in the UK last year alone - and having only been released stateside in February, it looks as though it could mirror that success in the US this year.
McGilloway continues to work on writing. The second of tyhe 'Lucy' books 'Hurt' will be released in the US, with the new title of 'Someone You know' in May and he is putting the finishing touches to the third book in the series which will be released by C&R Crime in the UK.

Now that people have outed Curt and Lori Drew as the likely adult perpetrators of a vile MySpace hoax that led a depressed 13-year-old girl named Megan Meier to hang herself in her closet, we thought we might as well alert you to another inept parent named Lori Drew! This Lori is the leader of a Rhode Island high school's boycott of a book called When I Was A Loser: True Stories Of Barely Surviving High School, in particular a story by Will Clarke called "How to Kill a Boy That Nobody Likes."
Lori objects to the book on grounds of its "profanity," naturally. So if only to uncover this weird and awesome coincidence and the existence of this weird and awesome-sounding book, we're really happy we posted her name. Because, like, maybe if Megan Meier had read a book like the one the Rhode Island Lori Drew is banning, she wouldn't have hung herself over the Missouri Lori Drew's sick scheme. And maybe if the Rhode Island Lori Drew knew the real story of Missouri Lori Drew, who "killed a girl that no one liked," she'd understand the point of, you know, free speech... although, you're right, probs a stretch.
