Displayed in a glittering brass-and-glass case in the north transept, the shrivelled head of St Oliver Plunkett (1629–81) is this church's main draw (the rest of the martyr was separated at his hanging in 1681). Actually it's two churches in one: the first, a classical style, designed by Francis Johnston in 1791, and the newer late 19th-century Neogothic addition.

"We Need Help": Battered by Sandy, Desperate Residents of New York's Far Rockaways Plead for Aid
Power has returned to most of Manhattan, but well over one million residents of New York City's outer boroughs and New Jersey remain in the dark. We begin our coverage of Superstorm Sandy's hardest hit areas with the Rockaways, a peninsula located in the southeast section of New York City. Democracy Now! senior producer Mike Burke and videographer Elizabeth Press traveled to the Rockaways on Friday and filed this report. [includes rush transcript]
After Sandy, Occupy Movement Re-Emerges as Relief Hub for Residents in Need
In addition to the National Guard and FEMA, one of the more active relief efforts in New York City has been a volunteer effort organized by alumni of Occupy Wall Street called Occupy Sandy Relief. Along with groups like 350.org and Recovers.org, Occupy activists quickly mobilized hundreds, and then thousands, of people to help affected areas of New York City. Democracy Now! senior producer Mike Burke speaks with Occupy organizer Catherine Yeager in the Rockaways about Occupy Wall Street's transformation into Occupy Sandy Relief. [includes rush transcript]
Starting Line of Canceled Marathon, New York's Staten Island Overcome by Post-Sandy Desperation
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says up to 40,000 displaced residents are now in need of shelter in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. That's the same number of runners who would have ran the New York City Marathon that, up until Friday night, Bloomberg had insisted would go on. Bloomberg had for days resisted calls to cancel the marathon, saying he wanted New York City to show it could get past the storm. But Bloomberg's critics say the people of New York wanted to do the same — and use the city's resources toward the recovery effort, not staging a giant marathon. Amy Goodman files a report from the devastated borough of Staten Island, which would have been the marathon's starting point had it gone forward. [includes rush transcript]
Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro Denounces Red Cross Response to Superstorm Sandy
Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro angrily denounced the Red Cross response to Superstorm Sandy. "I have not seen the American Red Cross at a shelter. I have not seen them down south shore, where people are buried in their own homes, have nothing to drink, have nothing to eat. ... My advice to the people of Staten Island is: do not donate to the American Red Cross. Let them get their money elsewhere." [includes rush transcript]

In Tight Race, 11th-Hour Voter ID Laws, Suppression Could Decide Ohio and Other Swing States
With the presidential election just one day away, 11th-hour Republican voter suppression could swing the critical battleground state of Ohio for GOP nominee Mitt Romney. On Friday, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted issued a last-minute directive which could invalidate a large number of legal provisional ballots by placing the burden on the voter to correctly record the form of identification provided to election officials. Over the weekend, long lines were reported across the state as voters braved cold weather to line up for hours at the polls. Even longer lines were reported in Florida, where early voters waited for up to six hours to cast their ballot. We're joined from Cleveland by Ari Berman, contributing writer for The Nation magazine and author of "Herding Donkeys: The Fight to Rebuild the Democratic Party and Reshape American Politics."

Location just off San Marco Square Quiet Polite and helpful staff Value
Breakfast was amazing.Staff was amazing gave us Directions places to go etc. they Let me take breakfast up to my girlfriend after our long night.
Room was very small but I supposed it's hard to find a big one in Venice . A bit noisy and we were on the 3rd floor. Elevator only in main build not it's other 2 so that was difficult.
Easy access, pleasant rooms, long breakfast times. Overall good - we would come again - what more can you say.
No drawer space for clothes, no coffee facilities, no toast for breakfast (I am English!!)
Excellent location. Convenient for Grand Canal, St Marks Square and shopping. Easy walking distance for most of Venice's sights. Gondola station just outside the front door! Quite a busy location but once inside the hotel all was quiet and charming.
There was everything to like about this hotel, but the memory that will always last will be looking out from our window to see the gondolas below as they loaded excited tourists and headed off on their canal tour. We loved hearing the happy banter of the gondoliers, even though we didn't understand a word, yet at night everything was quiet and we were able to sleep well. We appreciated the very friendly and helpful staff, our room was large and comfy and a very enjoyable breakfast was included. And did I mention location? - it was perfect!
Nothing to not like.
Excellent location, the staff was very attentive, nice continential breakfast, and large room
The staff was very helpful with making reservations or anything we needed. Our room looked out on the canal and the gondolas so there was always something to see. Wished we had a channel guide for the TV in the room. Just a few minutes walk to the Vaporetto and Piazza San Marco.
This is a gem of a hotel right by a gondular loading station in the busy area near San Marco Piazza. By ferry it is once stop passed the Piazza and just a 5 minute walk to the hotel. The rooms are spacious, many with good views of the canals. They provide an excellent breakfast and we were allowed ours a little earlier on our day of departure. The staff here were extremely helpful. Loved the place.
Nothing springs to mind.
Location.. Staff spoke great English and we're extremely helpful and friendly...I will recommend this hotel to all my friends when they visit Venice...
An excellent buffet breakfast, including bacon and eggs and even prosecco if you fancied a Buck's Fizz!
Location was good.
Wifi was terrible.
Perfect Location . Easy to get to from San Marco boat stop . Gondolas out front . Lots of nice Resturants , shopping . Rialto Bridge 5 min easy walk to Grande Canal and transport
good location,staff helpfull,quiet room
Superb location and breakfast was excellent, quiet room
Everything about Violino d' Oro was good. Very nice reception staff, good size very clean room. Excellent breakfast especially the honey straight from the hive. Have no problem highly recommending this hotel & will definitely stay there when we return to Venice.
Absolutely nothing
Excellent location. The staff vere very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great.
The wifi in our room was non existent and we had to go outside to use it. The shower was too small, we are only slim people and we could barely fit in it!
Excellent location, friendly and efficient staff, clean and pleasant, enjoyed my stay
Location is perfect new San Marco square. Staff was very helpful and polite and of course spoke perfect English. AC was great!. Breakfast was served at a good time between 7:30 and 10:30 and was extensive in choice and good quality.
Wi-Fi frequently got quite slow. Pillows were not the most comfortable and bathroom shower was a little sad.
Location is great! Only two bridges from the vaporetto. Room was very clean. Bathroom sink was leaking. When brought to their attention, it was fixed promptly with profuse apologies for the bother. Would stay there again.
Wifi could be better
The location was excellent being close to all the best shops and sights! Couldn't beat the view from our bedroom overlooking the gondolas going down the canal from one window and the beautiful arched bridge from the other window.
Location ,staff , and a fab breakfast .
So close to ferry terminal, great for us with big lugguages. Safe location if stay out late. Small clean room but its ok as we are out all day. Good Breakfast.
Great location, friendly and extremely helpful staff. Pleasant room and comfortable beds. Nice atmosphere and excellent breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely be going again.
The staff and location were great.
Our room was the size of a large walk-in closet with a nice bathroom. The bed wasn't even a queen size because it wouldn't fit. We were a bit shocked when we walked in. It was not what we expected at all.

Susan Powers & Rawmazing.com: The Recipe for a Profitable Web-Based Business
in Entrepreneur
Steve and Dana will be talking with Rawmazing.com founder, Susan Powers, who has combined her talents as a raw food recipe artist and professional photographer to build a thriving and profitable online business. They will talk about why Susan started this particular business, what she did differently to make a name for herself quickly, and some of the pivots she's had to make along the way.
A Minnesota native now living in San Francisco, Susan was involved with food and wine for years as a trained sommelier. Gourmet food and wines were a part of her every day lifestyle, and meeting and working with top chefs and studying classical french cooking along with many other cuisines, inspired Susan's passion and creativity for food. It also led her down a path to excess weight, general fatigue and other symptoms that she knew were associated with her diet. Susan's body was seriously rebelling and she decided to do something about it.
When Susan found raw, she was energized by this whole new way to prepare and eat food, and learning this way of life was fun. She tried some of her own recipes and experienced a lot of failure, so instead, she learned how to prepare raw food using every cookbook she could get her hands on. Reading about raw, the health benefits, and the principles behind this way of eating became an obsession. And she decided to turn what she was learning into a business that would make money while helping others improve their lives through healthier eating.
Rawmazing.com is filled with mouth-watering recipes and gorgeous photographs, along with in-depth articles and an online store where you can buy Susan's cookbooks and the same products she uses every day in her kitchen.

Weekday tolls to rise on 895
Weekend prices remain unchanged
The new year will bring a weekday toll increase to the Pocahontas Parkway, effective Thursday, Jan. 3.
Two-axle vehicles such as cars, SUVs and pickup trucks passing through the Pocahontas 895 main plaza will pay an extra quarter for weekday travel, although tolls will remain the same for two-axle vehicles passing through the Main Plaza on weekends.
On weekends, the main toll plaza rate for two-axle vehicles will be continue to be $2.75, which is the current rate. During the week, two toll prices will be charged at the main plaza – a commuting rate of $3.25 from 6 and 9 a.m. and again from 3 to 6 p.m. – and a rate of $3 at all other times Monday through Friday.
Tolls also will go up a quarter, to $1.50, for customers traveling between Interstate 295 and Pocahontas 895's two ramps – the Laburnum Avenue exit and the Airport Connector exit -- who do not pass through the Main Toll Plaza.
Tractor-trailers and other large vehicles passing through the Main Toll Plaza will pay $1.00 for each axle over two, at all times. For example, a 3-axle vehicle paying at the Main Plaza will pay $4.25 and a 4-axle vehicle will pay $5.25, at all times. This large-vehicle rate is an increase of 25 cents over the 2012 price.
The scheduled increase will fall short of the maximum permitted by an agreement with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), said a spokesperson for Transurban, the company that manages Pocahontas 895. Funds for operation and maintenance of the road – including support road operations such as a micro-surfacing program to preserve and extend pavement life, security cameras along the roadway and in the Main Plaza area, and sensors on the bridge to detect wind, temperature and precipitation – come solely from user fees in the form of tolls, and not from federal or state taxes.

Brews and bites done right
Urban Tavern's big, bold themes impress
The Urban Tavern opened in August, replacing the former Shackelford's space at 10498 Ridgefield Parkway in Short Pump. Because of local and longtime devotion to Shackleford's, Urban Tavern has some big shoes to fill.
Without any background information, I headed to the restaurant for dinner on a Wednesday night, two months after its opening.
On a perfect fall evening, four out of eight outdoor tables were taken, giving the impression that the restaurant was busier than it was. On the inside, a couple tables were taken, and a few folks were seated at the bar. > Read more.
A terrible, horrible movie. . . that's actually pretty good
'Alexander' provides uncomplicated family fun
It's not surprising in the least that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day doesn't much resemble the book it's based upon.
Judith Viorst's 1972 picture book isn't exactly overflowing with movie-worthy material. Boy has bad day. Boy is informed that everyone has bad days sometimes. Then, the back cover.
In the film, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad-ness is blown up to more extreme size. Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a bum day every day, while the rest of his family (Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey) exist in a constant bubble of perfection and cheery optimism – to the point that the family is so wrapped up in their own success that Alexander's being ignored.
So on the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander makes a wish: just once, he'd like his family to see things from his perspective; to experience the crushing disappointment of one of those no good, very bad days. Once he has blown out the candle on his pre-birthday ice cream sundae, his family's fate is sealed: one full day of crippling disasters for all of them. > Read more.

Progress towards achieving millennium development goals slowBack
Johannesburg|Africa|Education|Environment|Eskom|Resources|Africa|South Africa|Building|Energy|Energy Access|Barbara Thompson|Laura Cozzi|Steve Lennon|Sub-Saharan Africa
© Reuse this
Speaking at a seminar focusing on meeting the MDGs and financing energy access, Thompson said that the progress towards achieving the MDGs, which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/Aids and providing universal primary education, "did not paint a good picture".
"It has taken us almost ten years to make a decision on how to move forward and today we are talking about the same issues we discussed those many years ago. It is now time to start implementing decisions," Thompson said referring to the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development, also known as Earth Summit II or Rio +10, which took place in Johannesburg, in 2002.
She added that most countries were "far away" from providing for the basic needs of its people as prescribed through the MDGs.
Finance remained a key mechanism in ensuring that MDG goals were achieved, and Thompson added that governments could not close this gap by themselves and needed support from the private sector.
This was further emphasised by deputy head in the office of the chief economist at the International Energy Agency (IEA) Laura Cozzi, who said that modern energy was critical to social and economic development goals.
Eskom MD for resources and strategy Dr Steve Lennon concurred. He said that many have been discussing energy access for a long time, but now was the "time to act".
He said that in moving forward in creating energy access for all it was necessary to ensure that such a plan was specific to the needs of a nation, 'powered' economies through creating universal access and create opportunities for localisation and skills development in South Africa.
"Its just not about providing electricity, it is also about the way you do it," Lennon believed.
To make affordable and reliable modern energy available for all by 2030, the adoption of a clear statement that modern energy access is a political priority, and mobilising additional public and private investment toward universal access, including climate finance, would be required, Cozzi explained.
Further, she said national governments needed to adopt strong governance and regulatory frameworks, invest in internal capacity building and provide improved cooking stoves, which cost very little but bring significant health and environment cobenefits.
In sub-Saharan Africa only 30% of the population has access to electricity, with only 14% in rural areas, according to the IEA's 'World Energy Outlook 2011'.
In addressing energy poverty globally, investment needed to grow by more than five times to $48-billion a year, half of which would be in sub-Saharan Africa. Average yearly investments of $3.5-billion would be required to provide access to clean cooking facilities, while $30.5-billion was needed to provide electricity access.
