Story highlights
- Civil war reached center of Syria's second city one month before photo festival due to start
- Organizer Issa Touma's own home was destroyed in gun fighting
- 11th annual photo festival continued on smaller scale despite fighting
These pictures were taken within one week of each other in the center of Aleppo and show the incredible resilience of some of its residents in the face of Syria's bloody civil war.
Photographer Issa Touma's home in the historic area of Aleppo has been badly damaged by gunfire. Yet, amid the crossfire between opposition and government forces, Touma is still organizing the international photography festival he holds every year.
Touma, who owns a gallery in Aleppo, has been running the exhibition for 11 years and was determined that the show would continue despite fighting reaching the center of the city on August 19. The festival was due to open on September 15.
"Before that time we were continuing preparations for the festival in the normal way because we didn't think the middle of the city would be affected by the war," said Touma.
"But life changed quickly. Shooting started to come from every direction," he added.
Syria's largest city, in the north of the country, has become a key battleground between the rebel Free Syrian Army, which controls parts of the city, and forces loyal to President Bashar Al-Assad aiming to drive them out.
Until August, the fighting was confined to the countryside surrounding the city, but has since moved closer and closer to the center.
On August 27, Touma's home in a historic area of the city was badly damaged by gunfire and he says he was trapped inside for nine days while fighting raged outside.
"The Free Syrian Army's lines were in front of my house," he said. "Those nine days were so terrible."
"After nine days both sides stopped firing for a short moment to let the civilians out.
"There was no food in my fridge by then. I will never forget those nine days in all my life."
Amnesty International said in a report on August 23 that civilians had borne the brunt of air strikes, mortar and artillery attacks on residential areas, with scores of people not involved in the conflict killed and injured.
The United Nations estimates that 19,000 people have been killed across Syria since the uprising began 18 months ago and that 1.2 million people -- half of them children -- have left their homes and become refugees in their own country.
Touma is now living with his parents in the center of Aleppo and considers himself lucky.
He said: "Many people are living in the street or in the entrance of buildings, in schools, in churches, in gardens, many families are living together without much space.
"All night we can't sleep because most of the war happens at night. Sometimes the water cuts out for two or three days, sometimes electricity cuts if they are shooting the cables."
Many practical problems made organizing a photography festival a near impossibility, he added: There was no communication or internet connection in the city for almost a month, the building where the festival was due to take place was inaccessible and artworks that had been sent by artists around the world had not arrived.
"It's almost an impossible situation but we wanted to go on because if we don't go on people will lose hope," said Touma.
So he organized a smaller scale exhibition in his own gallery -- which had not been damaged -- and 60 people attended the symbolic opening.
The 870 photographs he has from 48 artists around the world will be shown gradually in a changing display in Touma's gallery, rather than all together in a large building as planned. A few other galleries in the city have also offered to show parts of the exhibition.
"People were really happy at the opening," said Touma. "It's been really important for everybody."
"It all has to change depending on the situation, nothing is certain. It all depends on which direction they are shooting in, whether we can get in touch with people to advertise."
Touma said that many of his traditional audience had fled Syria, and instead many of the people coming to the festival had never been to a gallery or been interested in photography before.
In March, he also launched a peace project called Art Camping in response to the war, which has been dividing the country since protests against Al-Assad began in March 2011.
It is a series of art, music and photography workshops, often aimed at refugees or people who have never been interested in art before.
"People talk about the refugees in Jordan or Lebanon, but most refugees are inside the city," said Touma. "All around Aleppo is war and more and more people are coming to the center."
"The center is so crowded, you can't imagine how many people are living in the city."
"When people do programs for refugees, they give them food and medicine, but not culture or anything to keep them busy.
"It's very important to everybody that there's heart in society still alive and that they still have some hope.
"These are people who have had to leave their homes, who have never been to a gallery before and now they are turning up to do art and see art.
"Now about 500 people have taken part in Art Camping. Not altogether, but different people have done different workshops."

Live Nation's New Site Wants You to Go to the Show, Then Come Back Again
Up until yesterday, if you visited Live Nation's Web site, you were only there to do one thing — buy a ticket for a concert or event.
And if you end up at LiveNation.com today, you'll probably end up doing the same thing. But the live events giant is hoping that you'll start doing more there, as a result of a site overhaul. It's supposed to give you a reason to stay longer, and maybe even pay a visit when you're not going to pay for a show.
As always, it's a lot easier for you to visit the site than for me to try to explain what it looks like.
That said, there are a couple of things you'll want to pay attention to when you're there: There's a lot more video and other material produced by Live Nation itself, in cooperation with the performers it is doing business with. And there's a lot of stuff produced by fans themselves, who are now generating content for the site without knowing it.
That second feature is what Live Nation is calling "Showbook," and it's quite clever. It harvests photos that fans have taken of a particular event, then posted to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., collects them in one place, and sorts them by date and show. It works as a preview for the show you're going to see, and a reason to come back after, because you can see your pictures, and lots of pictures from people just like you.
This seems straightforward to an ignoramus like me, but Eric Garland, who heads up Live Nation's digital team, assures me that it's not.
Head over to the listing for Justin Bieber's upcoming show in New York for a good example.
The idea, says Garland, who came aboard last year when Live Nation bought his BigChampagne entertainment data company, is that while all of that stuff might be of interest to your Facebook friends, Twitter pals, etc., most of them probably don't care about it at all.
Meanwhile, there are lots of people who don't know you, but who do love Bieber, and they'd like to see your snapshots: "We're bringing all of those moments together in the right rooms, for the right people."
The challenge for Garland and his group will be convincing people that they should be checking out LiveNation.com more than a couple times a year, when they want to buy a ticket. Right now the site gets around three million visitors a month.
One of the reasons music sites have struggled to get scale on the Web in general is that unlike "TV" or "sports," most people aren't fans of "music" — they like specific bands and specific genres.
So if they're Bieber believers or crusty Neil Young fans or whatever, they end up on sites that cater to that narrow band. But Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino figures there's still an open space for him to create a consumer brand that people associate with "live entertainment," and the site overhaul is supposed to be a first step toward that.
We'll be talking with Rapino in February at our Dive Into Media conference, so we can check up on the strategy then.

- TPMS (TURE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM): As its name implies, the standard TPMS monitors tyre pressure (visible in the display) and warns the rider in the event of pressure loss, for example due to tyre damage.
- C-ABS (COMBINED ABS) AND OFFROAD MODE: The ultimate in safe deceleration: One component of the comprehensive Bosch MSC assistance package is the world's first lean-sensitive cornering ABS. Based on the high-quality 9ME modulator, it unites the talents of combined braking and lightning-quick, efficient pressure modulation with the high quality Brembo hardware to make the most advanced braking system on the market - no-one brakes more progressively or safely. Benefits and properties of MTC-ABS: Safest and most effective deceleration on the market - even at extreme angles; Extremely short braking distances; When the front brake lever is actuated, the rear brake is always applied purposefully in parallel in order to optimise ride stability when braking; If required, not only can it be switched off, but also placed in offroad mode; Complex computation algorithms contribute to the prevention of endos. Offroad mode: Offroad mode allows the rider to block the rear wheel as and when required - a prerequisite for committed offroad riding and deliberately executed slides. The ABS function remains active on the front wheel, even in offroad mode.
- MTC (MOTORCYCLE TRACTION CONTROL): As an integral part of the MSC package, MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) also regulates subject to the angle of lean. It guarantees sporty yet completely controllable propulsion on all surfaces. Its intervention is indicated with a flashing LED in the completely new VDO multi-function display. For different levels of permissible rear-wheel slip, the disengageable MTC system provides four different modes, selected in connection with the engine modes using the multifunctional switch on the left handlebar grip. Developed in close collaboration with Bosch, it reacts in a matter of milliseconds if the rear wheel begins to rotate too rapidly for the riding conditions. It also makes use of the quick intervention time of the ride-by-wire system to reduce propulsion to a safe level, subject to the angle of lean. Depending on the MTC mode, the EMS (Engine Management System) also makes available a suitable level of power – for example, "only" 100 instead of 150 hp in rain mode. Four different MTC modes are activated by changing the engine modes: Sport: Something for the courageous to try: Allows a respectable and perceptible amount of slippage - drift-feeling all-inclusive!; Street: Smooth control for comfortable, undisturbed riding with full engine power.; Rain: Early intervention and minimum slippage in the wet, with engine power reduced to a maximum of 100 hp.; Offroad: Up to 100 per cent slippage - i.e. double wheel speed - for ambitious offroad use. Have a go at controlled offroad drifts, with engine power reduced to a maximum of 100 hp.; Off: Those who know better than the MTC can enjoy maximum propulsion at all times, completely to their individual tastes, without electronic assistance.
- PRICE/PERFORMANCE: The KTM 1190 Adventure R is not only lighter, more powerful and more dependable than ever; thanks to low fuel consumption, a 23-litre fuel tank and long service intervals of 15,000 km, it also hardly ever needs to take a break.
- OUTSTANDING PACKAGE PRICE: Work it out for yourself: Just like its sister, the KTM 1190 Adventure R is not only the lightest, most powerful and versatile travel enduro, but also the one with the best equipment package. As a result, you get - at an already very affordable entry-level price - so much more for your money than from any of its esteemed competitors.
- LONG SERVICE INTERVALS: A unique mix of the highest quality components combined with a fully developed and reliable engine allows extremely long service intervals of 15,000 km.
- INCREASED FUEL ECONOMY: Although extremely powerful and comprehensively equipped, the 1190 Adventure R consumes about 20 per cent less fuel than its equally heavy (230 kg fully fuelled) predecessor with a smaller tank. Together with an impressive 23-litre tank capacity, the range is suitable for desert use.
- VERSATILE AND ERGONOMIC: The KTM 1190 Adventure R sets standards for the whole travel segment: 150 hp with a weight of only 230 kg fully tanked combine to produce a power-to-weight ratio previously unheard of in this class and therefore delivering unrivalled ride dynamics. At the same time, the powerful, economical and cultivated engine enables either particularly relaxed and comfortable riding or, if required, super-sporty propulsion – with every conceivable level in between. The chassis combines lightness with outstanding geometry and fantastic suspension, which, together with perfectly adapted travel enduro tyres, allow undreamed of riding pleasure in all conditions and whatever speed you desire, from very relaxed to very, very fast. For MY 2015, the exhaust gets a newly designed shield for better heat protection of the rider´s and passenger´s feet.
- SEAT: The single-piece seat is perfectly suited to the need for freedom of movement when riding offroad. Thanks to its state-of-the-art 3D foam padding, it also provides more comfort over longer periods and a better feeling for what's happening at the wheels than a softer seat cushion - an orthopaedic benefit from tourers for tourers, from sportsmen for sportsmen. From MY 2015 on, KTM uses new foam that feels softer but offers much more consistency. So, no matter if the ride was short or very long, the rider and passenger reach destination in comfort. Due to new luggage case mounting from the side, the passenger handles are placed lower and provide more generous space and comfort.
- ADJUSTABLE WINDSHIELD: The height of the windshield can be varied individually as desired or to suit the rider's stature in next to no time with the easily operated champing mechanism (+25 mm).
- ERGONOMICS: Not only are the top-notch ergonomics of the 1190 Adventure R suitable for all riding situations from comfortable outings - alone or two-up - to lively acceleration on asphalt and furious offroad shredding - whatever the surface or location. The ergonomics can also be adjusted in many ways to suit individualists and riders of any stature: Two handlebar clamping positions: horizontal +/- 10 mm; Two footrest positions: diagonal 10 mm high and back; Plus hand levers with 5 reach settings
- FIELDS OF USE: The field of use of the 1190 Adventure R extends progressively from pleasurable touring comfort to uncompromising acceleration. This extremely wide application range is made possible not least by the first ever deployment of the ground-breaking electronics package featuring Bosch MSC. What's particularly impressive is that the bike's different characters lead to virtually no perceptible compromises. Those who use the Adventure R for relaxed locomotion don't feel any of the sportiness at their disposal (for example, due to sharp responsiveness or a taut chassis set-up). Those who ride more sportily don't have to put up with a rocking horse. The many riding modes naturally support the user's tastes as well. Whether it be alpine pass or coastal road, motorway or bone-shaking track, winding curves or urban jungle, the new 1190 Adventure R is the ultimate travel enduro for adventures on all the world's roads.
- ENGINE: The potent V2 engine with 1195 cc displacement supplies everything that a top-class travel enduro could ever need: powerful acceleration for offroad use, a powerful punch for tours fully loaded up, and 150 hp peak power when the chips are down. Fully developed after five years in a superbike, not only does the extremely light, high-performance, four-valve engine consume considerably less fuel than its predecessor, it also extends the service intervals of the 1190 Adventure R to a wallet-friendly 15,000 km. The most advanced technology helps in adapting the superbike twin to use in the Adventure R: Twin ignition sinks both consumption and emissions and ensures smooth running and superior power from the very bottom up.; Ride-by-wire ensures perfect application of the readily available and plentiful torque.; MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) guarantees sporty yet completely controllable propulsion on every surface and in all situations.; The new slipper clutch prevents rear wheel chatter and reduces the hand force required for shifting gear.
- RIDE-BY-WIRE: The guarantee for smooth throttle response, not just no throttle control cable: The ride-by-wire system on the 1190 Adventure R ensures perfect application of the readily available and plentiful torque. It also electronically translates the throttle commands of the rider into throttle valve positions perfectly suited to the riding conditions. The DBW system is fully compliant with the strict DIN 26262 safety standard from the automobile sector.
- SLIPPER CLUTCH: Not only does the new slipper clutch open when the engine back-torque becomes too high, it also assists when you open up the throttle. The former prevents annoying rear wheel chatter when braking sharply or decelerating; the latter reduces the hand force required for changing gear, hence allowing the clutch to be controlled with the little finger - which saves energy when riding.
- CYLINDER HEADS: The main reasons for the outstanding performance of the V-twin with its 75° cylinder angle are the state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads with twin plug ignition, flow-optimised ducts and cam follower drive via DLC-coated cam followers, each with two overhead camshafts.
- PISTONS: The forged piston structure borrowed from Formula 1 results in a high loading capacity, despite an extremely short and lightweight design. In this way, the reciprocating weight can be minimised and the responsiveness and free-revving nature of the engine maximised. The top piston ring grooves have a state-of-the-art, hard-anodised finish. Not only is this particularly hard-wearing, it also minimises friction and guarantees optimal sealing for the whole engine life.
- TWIN IGNITION: The twin plug ignition system controls the two differently sized spark plugs in each cylinder head independently of each other in such a way that more efficient combustion and a smoother, optimally controlled combustion sequence are achieved at all times. The result: even more and even better controlled power, lower fuel consumption, and less emissions.
- CRANKSHAFT: The smooth shape of the crank webs results in low-loss running of the crank drive; the modified weight distribution of the crankshaft and alternator rotor improve the ride quality. Together they optimise the load change behaviour of the engine.
- DLC COATING: DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) stands for an extremely hard, durable and tribologically (i.e. in terms of sliding behaviour) particularly well-suited coating, that KTM uses in many engine parts (cam followers, piston pins, etc.).
- MODE SWITCH: Different modes for the various assistance systems can be selected using a mode switch on the left side of the handlebar. It's very simple and intuitive: "up" and "down" through the menu selection, select the desired menu item with the left button, confirm it with the right, job done!
- COCKPIT: State-of-the-art instrument cluster from automotive supplier VDO: central permanent LCD for displaying all riding conditions (plus speedo and rev counter with adjustable gearshift light), another LCD on the left for displaying the adjustable features: Favourites page; MSC ride modes; Riding conditions page for additional info, e.g. outside/oil temperature, on-board voltage, various trips, average speed, average and current fuel consumption, range, distance to next service
- POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO: The outstanding combination of lightweight engineering in the chassis and likewise very light and extremely powerful engines make the KTM 1190 Adventure R top of its class in terms of power-to-weight ratio and ride dynamics. Its weight of only 235 kg – fully tanked with a substantial 23 litres of fuel – makes the 1190 Adventure R, in typical KTM manner, one of the lightest motorcycles in its segment. Further reasons for the fantastic ride dynamics are the outstanding geometry, the very well-balanced stiffness distribution and the high quality of suspension components used. These ingredients not only result in nimble handling, but also in a boost to safety, since it is far easier to guide a lightweight motorcycle around a source of danger than a heavy one.
- SUSPENSION COMPONENTS: Thanks to multiple setting options, the stable upside-down telescopic fork with 48 mm internal tube diameter and the shock absorber from WP Suspension allow optimum adjustment of the chassis to suit the individual operational use of the versatile 1190 Adventure R. For 2014, they offer even greater reserves in tough offroad use - with unaltered versatility! Fully adjustable suspension components; Suspension travel: 220/220 mm
- BRAKES: Precise application, powerful and free from fading: More than adequate deceleration is ensured on the 1190 Adventure R by Brembo brakes with the very finest components, such as 320 mm brake discs, radially mounted, four-piston brake callipers and a radial hand pump. At the rear, the braking energy flows into a generously dimensioned 268 mm disc. And not to forget: Everything supported by MSC with Bosch 9ME C-ABS.
- TUBELESS SPOKED WHEELS: Wire-spoked wheels for tubeless tyres featuring airtight rim beds patented by KTM - appropriately for the offroad aspirations of the Adventure R in 21" and 18" diameters. The rims on the 1190 Adventure R combine all the benefits of a tubeless tyre (easy fitting and dynamic advantages due to no inner tube) with the stability and robustness of a wire-spoked wheel. This set-up makes the Adventure R's rims substantially more resilient than all the competition's cast and spoked wheels – an added bonus, especially in hard offroad riding.
- STEERING DAMPER: With so much propulsive power, the front wheel can become very light, which can quickly lead to unpleasant kick-back on uneven roads or following a slight stimulus at the handlebar. The Adventure R prevents this safely with a reliable and sensitive WP steering damper.
- CHASSIS: The KTM 1190 Adventure R is the only choice for those who want to make no compromises when riding offroad with a travel enduro. Larger wheels – 21-inch up front, 18-inch at the rear – a whole 220 millimetres of suspension travel front and back, along with a fully adjustable chassis with great reserves for tough offroad use, optimise its offroad ability. If desired, the 21-inch (front) and 18-inch (rear) wheels can be fitted with deep-tread knobbly tyres, thereby extending the field of use dramatically. Desert perhaps? No problem! The following features distinguish the 1190 Adventure R: Complete MSC as standard; Wider aluminium handlebar with "ball-burnished" finish; Single-piece/full-length seat for offroad use; Longer suspension travel for improved offroad ability; 21" and 18" wheel diameters for improved offroad ability; Standard tyres (90/90 ZR (260) 21 and 150/70 ZR (260) 18); Smaller windshield; Steel crash bars as standard; Centre stand as standard; TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) as standard
- FRAME: Chrome-molybdenum steel tubular space frame made from chrome-molybdenum stainless steel. The frame contributes to an excellent chassis geometry, it's extremely stable and weighs only 9.8 kg. Consistent lightweight construction that contributes to the low overall weight of just 217 kg (ready to ride, without fuel) and 235 kg fully tanked. Features: Highest welding standards; Precisely manufactured tubes (laser-cut for perfect clearances, robot-welded, minimal welding stresses, etc.); High quality surface finish
- SWINGARM: The die-cast, open-lattice swingarm is not only particularly light and stable, it's also very precisely manufactured, with a design optimised in terms of flexural behaviour and stiffness.
- TIRES: Offroad standards demand suitable tools: The 1190 Adventure R rolls on wheels with 21" and 18" diameters - those who really want to ride off into the desert will find a wide selection of genuine offroad tyres in these dimensions. Ultra-grippy and durable Continental Trail Attack II are fitted as standard in sizes 90/90 ZR (260) 21 and 150/70 ZR (260) 18 - extremely versatile and incidentally also incredibly suitable for offroad use.

Three years ago, when I received a copy of Jack LaLanne's book, "Live Young Forever," I noticed the foreword was written by a man named Robert Kennedy. This was not the former attorney general, brother of President John F. Kennedy and presidential candidate, mind you. This Robert Kennedy, a Canadian and native of Great Britain, was the publisher of what would be LaLanne's final book. He also was one of the leading publishers of books and magazines in the fitness industry.
Sadly, Robert Kennedy passed away last Thursday, succumbing to cancer at the age of 73. He died at his home in Caledon Hills, Ontario, north of Toronto, surrounded by his wife, Tosca Reno, herself a best-selling author of fitness books, and his four daughters. Kennedy's only son, Braden, died in March 2011 at the age of 23.
Elaine LaLanne, Jack's widow, said in an email that Kennedy spoke at Jack's memorial last year. Kennedy ended up knowing more about Jack than Jack knew about himself, Elaine said.
"It's so sad his son passed away last year and now him," Elaine wrote. "He was a wonderful man. A true pioneer and icon in the fitness business. My heart goes out to his wife, Tosca, and family."
In 1972, Kennedy began to sell courses on nutrition, bodybuilding and fitness by mail. In 1974, he started his first magazine, MuscleMag International, with an initial print run of 110,000 copies. The magazine is still published today as part of the RKP/Robert Kennedy Publishing company, which also produces Oxygen, American Curves and Clean Eating. Kennedy, who wrote the New York Times best-seller "Hardcore Bodybuilding," as well as more than 55 other books, continued to maintain regular hours both at the office and the gym in his 70s. He still reviewed every page of each publication in the chain, the company said in a statement.
Silvie Bordeaux, Kennedy's publicist, attended his funeral on Tuesday in Ontario. Mourners also gathered on Monday during visitation.
"The funeral parlor was filled with so many people who came to pay their respects," Bordeaux wrote in an email. "The line went out the door and across the street! He made a difference in so many lives, and we are all grieving his loss."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a longtime friend, paid Kennedy a surprise visit on Easter Sunday, just weeks before his passing. Besides their association in fitness and bodybuilding, the two share Austrian roots. Kennedy was the son of an Austrian father and an English mother.
"Bob was a great friend and a true fitness icon," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "He spread the gospel of health around the globe, and his impact can't be measured. I will miss Bob, but there is no question that his legacy of a fitter and healthier world will live on."

Obama: 'Our hearts are broken' over shooting
President Barack Obama denounced the "heinous crime" that left at least 26 dead Friday in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., as he vowed "meaningful action" to prevent future tragedies.
"We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years, and each time I hear the news, I react not as a president but as everybody else would, as a parent," Obama said, wiping tears from his reddened eyes as he spoke at the White House. "And that is especially true today. I know there's not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Obama's emotional presser)
Occasionally, during his brief statement, the president got so choked that up he paused for several seconds before returning to his remarks.
The longest pause came as Obama spoke of young lives whose futures were destroyed by bullets. Eventually, he choked out, "They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own," and then paused again before continuing.
"Our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children and for the families of the adults who were lost," he said. "Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children's innocence has been torn away from them too early and there is no way to ease their pain."
( Also on POLITICO: Full text, video of Obama's statement)
Obama focused on the emotions of the moment, but did pledge "meaningful action to prevent tragedies like this regardless of the politics." But as has been the case after other mass shootings, he stayed away from the details of what that action might be.
Just before he spoke, the president issued a proclamation ordering flags to lowered to half-staff through next Tuesday in honor of the victims of the "senseless acts of violence" at the school.
The president said he spoke with Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy about the shooting and shared his "condolences on behalf of the nation."
"Evil visited this community today and it's too early to speak of recovery," Malloy said at a press conference just after sundown. "But each parent, each sibling, each member of the family has to understand that Connecticut, we're all in this together, we'll do whatever we can to overcome this event. We will get through it."
The president's call to the Democratic governor came as he continued to get updates on the shooting. At least 26 people were killed there, including 20 children, Connecticut police said. The killer committed suicide at the school, and another person was found dead at a second scene, bringing the toll to 28, the Associated Press reported.
( DOCUMENT: Obama proclamation on school shootings)
Obama used the call to "express his condolences and concern for those who have lost loved ones, as well as those who were injured," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters during his daily briefing.
Vice President Joe Biden called Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), whose district neighbors Newtown, to offer "sympathy, condolences and help," the congressman wrote on Twitter.

USW Election Day Outcome Statement
Nov 07, 2012, 04:18 ET
President Obama Re-elected; Democrats, Independents Win Seats
USW trains 7,000 activists who distribute two-million worksite flyers for votes
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Leo W. Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers (USW) said today's Election Day outcome was defined by America's union workers in the heartland, casting their votes to move America forward to re-elect U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080131/DC12982LOGO)
USW President Gerard said, "Most American workers chose Obama for turning the economy around, passing the Affordable Care Act, rebuilding the auto industry, enforcing our trade laws and adding 5.5 million jobs in the last 32 months." Gerard adds: "We have more to do, but we're on the right track with this President.
"Going into this, I wanted to prove three things: The best man would win based on his character, not his skin color; you can't buy an election, and I wanted to prove that they couldn't intimidate our people at the polls. And we did it."
"Our union members fought Super PACs by millionaires and billionaires with boots on the ground, worker-to-worker. It's an historic triumph for the commitment we made together with other unions and progressive allies to fight back against the corporate influence in elections and the efforts to suppress voting."
"The USW organized a formidable army of volunteer union activists, retirees and poll watchers, who focused on eight battleground states and engaged in some 63 key congressional contests." The states were: CO, FL, IA, NH, NC, NV, OH, and WI.
In the past two weeks, the USW amassed 4,100 trained volunteers, plus another 2,900 worksite union members to pass out 2.1 million candidate handbills. Election Day reports filed show 18,315 shifts of USW volunteers and retirees in the battleground states doing block walks and door knocking. During the past two weeks in those states, USW members knocked on 173,800 doors. Another 376,790 direct campaign mailers were sent to USW active and retired members who resided in the battleground states.
State campaigns and ballot issues were set up separately within USW district structures to deal with propositions that threatened the rights of workers to join unions and limiting their rights to engage in the political process.
Among the USW field volunteers in battleground states were Jessica Schiessl, 30, a Local 482 materials handler for a paper mill in Oshkosh, WI. She was door knocking and a poll watcher on Election Day. "The experience has changed my life," Schiessl said. "I've only got a few years work time, but I'm also fighting for the 20-year mill workers who don't want candidates who have a record of shipping jobs offshore."
Joe Sterling, 48, of Ohio USW Local 3610 at a maker of rollers for steel mills in Canton, led dozens of union volunteers while on union-paid leave from his job for the past five months to mobilize for candidate rallies, coordinate phone banks, and to distribute handbills at worksites starting at 5:30 am. "What kept me motivated was the threat by those severely conservative candidates who promised to shutdown workers' rights to a union."
In Nevada, Local 5282 Vice President John Martinez, 45, took a leave from his chlorine operator's job at Olin Clor-Alkali Corp., in Henderson, starting after Labor Day. "During the past week I had 25 union volunteers doing block walks and helping with GOTV for early voter participation that included my three sons wearing Steelworkers for Obama-Biden T-shirts."
A USW Local 710 paper worker Rodney Crow in Colorado, another battleground state, has been working fulltime on leave from his corrugator operator's job since June to recruit campaign volunteers among USW-represented plants in the Denver area for worksite flyers and neighborhood block walks. "I worked early morning until late night with hope we would re-elect President Obama and deliver votes for at least two Democratic congressional seats," he said.
The USW is a North American union representing 850,000 workers in the manufacturing, energy and service sectors. For more: www.usw.org.

A few days ago, former DNC Chairman Don Fowler was caught making some sad comments by a blogger seated behind him on a flight from Denver to Charlotte:
"The hurricane's going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. The timing is — at least it appears now that it'll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God's on our side. [Laughter] Everything's cool."
Funny stuff! Fowler later apologized and added: "One doesn't anticipate that one's private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase. But that's the nature of what we're dealing with."
Sounds more like Fowler is sorry he got caught.
I contend the nutcase is the person, who, for political benefit, believes that "everything's cool" when a massive hurricane is about slam into New Orleans (echoing Michael Moore).
But I suspect that all decent people, of all parties, hope that FEMA and local officials have got their act together this time.

Probing Question: Why do we waste so much food?
Chalk it up to one of the many contradictions of modern life in developed nations: we cajole our kids into eating all the food on their plates "because children in poorer countries are starving" at the same time as we face a growing obesity epidemic worldwide. Is there really not enough food on the planet, or are we just wasting the food we have? Bryan McDonald, a Penn State assistant professor of history and author of the book Food Security, offers his perspective.

Registration is now open for Kannapolis City Schools' new Before School Care program at each of our elementary schools. Families may register their children by completing an online form or printing one and returning it to their child's elementary school. Applications can be accessed by clicking here and are also available at each of the elementary schools.
Early drop off will run from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. each school day. The cost for each child will be $50 a month. Families will not be charged for teacher work days or holidays. However, they will have to pay if their child is enrolled in the program and absent from school. Here are the due dates for payments:
There is a registration fee of $10, but Kannapolis City Schools will waive the registration fee for any family that signs up by Friday, August 17th. If payments are late, Kannapolis City Schools will charge a fee of $10.
Families may pay by cash, check, or credit card. Anyone wishing to pay by credit card may click here or go to the website of their child's elementary school to find a payment link.
The bell schedule for elementary schools is 8:45 a.m. to 3:40 p.m. The regular car-rider drop off time for elementary schools begins at 8:15 a.m. If elementary families need to drop off students before 8:15 a.m., they may use the before school care that will be offered at each school.
Families that need before school care prior to 7:30 a.m. may use other child care providers in the area. For families that need financial assistance, the YMCA offers scholarships for its before school care program.
On inclement weather days when school is cancelled or delayed, Kannapolis City Schools will also cancel or delay its before school care service.

There are buses that operate on a somewhat lackadaisical schedule around St Maarten; they charge for every town you pass through (in US$), which include Philipsburg, Mullet Bay, Simpson Bay, Marigot, and Grand Case. It is much faster to travel by taxi, which can be arranged by phone. Hiring a car for a day or two is also a good way to maximise a holiday in St Maarten, as the road system basically consists of a ring skirting the coastline, with smaller roads to link the interior. Driving is fairly stress-free; St Maarten's road users have an extremely polite reputation, and mostly use their car horns to greet other drivers.
110/220 volts, 60Hz. Standard, flat, two- and three-pronged plugs, as found in the United States, are used.
On the Dutch side the currency is the Netherlands Antilles Guilder or Florin (ANG), where one guilder is divided into 100 cents, but US Dollars are also widely accepted and prices are usually quoted in Dollars as well as Guilders. On the French side of the island the Euro (EUR) is the local currency, although establishments will also accept US Dollars. There are numerous bureaux de change and banks throughout the island and ATMs in the main towns in both national sectors; major credit cards are widely accepted.
The country code for St Maarten is +1 721. The code for French St Martin is +590. Phoning from one side of the island to the other is considered to be an international call. The outgoing code for both sectors is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). City/area codes are not in use. GSM 900 and 1800 mobile network coverage extends across both parts of the island. Internet access is available at internet cafes, and in most resorts.
Emergencies: 911.

Car hire desks can be found in the arrivals area. Among those represented are Avis, Hertz and Alamo.
