I know a lot about surviving harsh winter weather. I grew up near a small town in upstate New York. Winter there can be devastating. You are prepared for the worst, which is pretty much always what you get. The locals used to joke about our region by calling it Alaska. I remember a blizzard that covered our two story house, a Christmas when the thermometer read minus 55 and countless ice storms from winds off Lake Ontario. It was cold but it was also a lot of fun. There were snowball fights, snow forts, sledding, ice skating on frozen ponds and for the ones who could afford it, snowmobiling.
We were all taught at an early age how to survive severe winter weather. It was a fact of our lives several months out of the year. We all knew that going outside meant boots, hats, long johns, layers, warm coats, scarves, hoods, and snow suits. (Sometimes you were still cold.) We all knew not to drive if at all avoidable. If you did drive, you'd better be prepared for the worst.
Driving in winter weather requires a certain amount of skill and knowledge. It isn't just the driving that determines your survival, it's what you bring with you as well. It isn't the length of the trip but what you run into on the journey that makes a difference. If you live in a cold weather area there are a few items that should always be in your vehicle in the winter months.
Essential items for winter travel :
*Bottled water and non-perishable food
*Extra warm, dry clothing and outerwear.
*Sand and rugs for traction, if stuck.
*A small snow shovel
*Matches or lighter in a watertight container
*Cell phone
*Full tank of gas
*Red cloth to tie to antenna (makes your vehicle visible even when buried in snow)
*Windshield scraper
*Spare tire and tools to change it.
Before you leave :
*Check weather reports
*Check your vehicle for low fluids or other issues.
*Inform someone of your route and destination
Driving Tips :
*Accelerate slowly.
*Drive at a safe speed.
*Apply brakes slowly.
*If you lose traction, turn the wheel slowly into the slide
*Use headlights, even in the daytime.
If you are stuck in bad weather :
*Call for help when you first break down or become stuck (before the battery on your phone runs out or you become too disoriented to know your location).
*Stay in and with your car
*Run engine occasionally for warmth (do not run constantly due to possible carbon monoxide poisoning).
*Keep hydrated.
*Display a help sign such as a red cloth tied to your antenna.
*Try to keep snow from the covering vehicle so you will be seen.
*Move around to avoid circulation problems.
*Huddle together for warmth.
*Take turns sleeping, so as not to go into hypothermia.
*Avoid strenuous exercise (if you must shovel or push take breaks in between work.
Once the storm has stopped:
*Check your surroundings.
*If help is not in sight, stay with your vehicle.
*If help is in your sight, dress warmly and bring water and a small snack with you before leaving your vehicle.
*If you have small children, do not leave them alone while you go for help. Remain in your vehicle and wait for rescue.

John Podesta, een topadviseur van de Amerikaanse president Barack Obama, gaat vanaf februari Hillary Clinton bijstaan.
Dat hebben bronnen in Washington gemeld aan de zakenkrant The Wall Street Journal.
In februari zou Podesta stoppen met zijn werk voor de regering-Obama. Volgens ingewijden wordt Podesta mogelijk campagneleider van Clinton als die besluit een gooi naar het presidentschap te doen.
Hillary Clinton was minister van Buitenlandse Zaken onder Obama van 2009 tot 2013. Ze is de absolute favoriet als Democratische kandidaat voor de presidentsverkiezingen in 2016. Ze heeft zich nog niet uitgesproken over een kandidatuur.

De Amerikaanse recherchedienst FBI heeft woensdag een 20-jarige man in de staat Ohio opgepakt. Hij wordt verdacht van het voorbereiden van een aanslag op het Capitool in Washington.
De man had onder meer een semi-automatisch geweer, een grote hoeveelheid munitie en explosieven aangeschaft en was van plan naar Washington te reizen.
Het gaat om Christopher Cornell uit Cincinnati, zo blijkt uit documenten van justitie. Hij zocht uit hoe je bommen kan maken, meldde de FBI. De man verklaarde dat hij niet gesteund wordt door een terroristische groepering.
Hij verwees wel naar de in de VS geboren geestelijke Anwar al-Awlaki. Die werd door de Verenigde Staten in 2011 in Jemen gedood door een raket die werd afgevuurd door een drone. Hij was een van de prominentste leden van al-Qaeda op het Arabisch Schiereiland (AQAP).
Tijdens een ontmoeting met een informant van de FBI in november zei Cornell dat hij leden van het Congres als zijn vijanden beschouwt en vertelde hij over zijn plannen om in of bij het Capitool bommen te laten ontploffen
Ook wilde hij het vuur openen op werknemers en volksvertegenwoordigers.
Op Twitter was Cornell actief onder de naam Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah en zei daar dat hij het jihadisme en de terreurgroep Islamitische Staat (IS) steunt.
Cornell is aangeklaagd voor een poging tot moord op een functionaris van de Amerikaanse regering en voor het bezit van een wapen om een geweldsmisdrijf mee te plegen.

via:->> http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morn ... im-for-it/This 88-year-old doctor treats the poor out of his Toyota Camry. Mississippi wants to punish him for it.
In small-town Mississippi, where poverty is endemic, transportation is limited and a trip to the emergency room can lead to financial ruin, an alternative exists for those in the know.
His name is Dr. Landrum — Carrol Frazier Landrum — and, even if your pockets are empty, the 88-year-old physician from Edwards, Miss., will schedule you for an appointment.
Carrol Frazier Landrum stands beside his rolling doctor's office, a 2007 Toyota Camry. (Courtesy of WLBT-Mississippi News Now)
For the last two years, Landrum has been working without an office, but he's happy to meet his patients wherever they are. Sometimes, the meetings occur in a home; sometimes they take place in a parking lot. Other patients meet the doctor on the side of a quiet country road — or inside his 2007 Toyota Camry.
The location doesn't matter because Landrum, a World War II veteran who has been in private practice for more than 55 years, believes it's his duty to help anyone who calls on him.
"I've always had a heart for the poor," Landrum told The Washington Post this week, struggling to hold back tears. "I grew up poor, and when the doctor would come to us, and he was happy to see us, I pictured myself doing that some day. I try not to ever turn people away — money or no money – because that's where the need is."
But his work may soon come to an end.
Landrum said he's being asked by the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure to surrender his medical license, which he's carried in his pocket with pride since Dwight D. Eisenhower was president. The reason for the request, according to Landrum, is that the board balked several months ago upon learning that he was operating his practice out of a car.
At a recent hearing, Landrum said, he was labeled "incompetent" by the board. He said the charge is a catchall, one designed to avoid citing a specific occupational violation, and he maintains he's done nothing wrong. He said he doesn't recruit patients and only responds to those who have nowhere else to turn.
"If you're gong down a highway and somebody is hurt in a car accident, you stop and attend to them," he told The Post. "And if you're in a shopping center and somebody is having a heart attack, you stop and help. It's your duty as a physician, and this is no different."
A Board of Medical Licensure investigation is now underway, according to NBC affiliate WLBT. The board's executive director, H. Vann Craig, declined to confirm to The Post that an investigation has begun. In a brief telephone conversation this week, Craig said he could not publicly address "complaints" until and unless "action is taken by the board."
"The mission of the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure," he said, "is to protect the public."
Landrum's many supporters — who can be found throughout Edwards and "for 50 miles in every direction," according to the doctor — say that's exactly what he's doing. Last week, supporters – some of whom are third-generation patients — began circulating a petition calling on the state board to allow Landrum to keep his medical license.
Karen Holt, an Edwards resident, told WLBT that she loves knowing the doctor is available.
"There's a lot of poverty in Edwards," she said. "There are many, many people here who do not have transportation to Vicksburg, Clinton, Jackson, and he truly serves a purpose. And there are people who come to him who would not get medical treatment otherwise."
Cornelius Moriley agreed, telling the station: "He's saved a lot of people, you know what I'm saying? I think he should be left alone and steadily serve the people."
Responding to the WLBT story, Margie Williams Divinity, a former registered nurse who said she has worked alongside Landrum in the past, wrote:
I beg the state board of medicine to allow Dr Landrum to continue practicing medicine. He is one of the smartest physicians still practicing. His knowledge base is vast. His diagnosis are always on point and he refers patients and always follow up with his patients. He cares about people, about treating them. He doesn't care about all of the billing insurances and Medicare and all of the politics associated with medicine. He just wants to help people. He is still very sharp mentally at 88 probably because he did not let all of this political monopoly on healthcare stress him out by not continuing to partake. He is 88 y/o. Let him do what he enjoys and at the same time continue to serve his community…
Before moving his office to his car two years ago, Landrum operated his practice out of an apartment in a low-income housing complex, where he found himself surrounded by patients, according to WLBT. Increasing gang violence, including two shootings that occurred just outside his clinic door, led him to fear for his safety and eventually convinced him to close shop, he said.
"My patients kept saying, 'Don't leave, don't leave,' and I started working out of my automobile," he told WLBT.
Landrum said he planned to find a new office but never secured one. Still, the phone calls kept coming in. These days, he estimates, he sees three or four patients each week, many of them old friends he's been treating for years.
A visitation starts with a phone call in which Landrum tries to get as much information about the patient's condition and medical history as possible. Next, a meeting is arranged, with the doctor driving as far as 50 miles to reach patients who can't come to him. Appointments might occur while he leans his head inside the cab of a pickup truck as it idles in a vacant parking lot.
"We're not in an office, so we're dealing with just the immediate problem," he said, noting that many of his patients are on Medicaid. "It's not a general physical examination, but things like sore throats, flu symptoms or skin rashes. I always told them, 'If you're not better from day to day, call me,' and then I give them my phone number."
Asked why he doesn't just retire, Landrum, who doesn't have children, isn't married and considers his patients the closest thing he has to family, offered his life story as an explanation.
He grew up on a rural farm picking cotton during the Great Depression. After high school, he said, he was drafted into the Navy, where he worked as a sonar operator on a destroyer in the South Pacific. A stint in the Air Force during the Korean War followed, and then medical school at Tulane University came next. By the mid-1950s, he'd launched a private practice that has lasted for decades.
"After all these years, I still want to be like the small-town doctor who cared for us growing up — Dr. Coursey," Landrum said. "He was good and always happy. There was never a time when he treated anyone like they were not someone."

Demonstratie in Ferguson Videobeelden recentelijk vrijgegeven.
Amerikaanse media hebben een video in handen gekregen waarop te zien is hoe de politie een zwarte man doodschiet, terwijl hij zijn handen omhoog houdt.
Het incident had vorige maand plaats in Bridgeton, New Jersey, maar de videobeelden zijn recentelijk pas vrijgegeven.
Op de video is te zien hoe twee agenten een auto stilzetten die door was gereden bij een stopbord. De agenten stappen uit en lopen naar de auto, waar het in de eerste instantie nog rustig verloopt. Op het moment dat één van de agenten een pistool in het dashboardkastje ziet, ontstaat er paniek. Vervolgens wordt er iets zilverkleurigs - vermoedelijk een wapen - uit de auto verwijderd. "You're going to be fucking dead. If you reach for something, you're going to be fucking dead", wordt er geroepen door één van de agenten. Op het moment dat de aangehouden man de auto uitstapt, opent de agent het vuur.
De doodgeschoten man is de 36-jarige Jerame Reid, die het jaar ervoor nog werd gearresteerd vanwege een drugsovertreding, weet CBS. Ook zat hij ooit een gevangenisstraf uit van dertien jaar vanwege geweld tegen de politie.
Het is niet de eerste keer dat er een zwarte (ongewapende) man wordt doodgeschoten door de Amerikaanse politie de afgelopen maanden. Soortgelijke incidenten leidden de afgelopen tijd tot massademonstraties in de VS.
via:-> http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/27 ... withdrawalDid Plymouth man take his dead mom into bank to make cash withdrawal?
PLYMOUTH, Minn. (KMSP) -
County social workers have investigated David Vanzo for elderly neglect and financial exploitation of his mother, and now, so are Plymouth police.
Detectives wonder if he brought his mother to the bank to make a withdrawal -- after she was already dead.
Vanzo denies the allegation.
"My mother and I had an agreement," he tells Fox 9. "I took care of my mom for years, I'm the good guy here, not the bad guy."
Caryl Vanzo died two weeks ago, just days before she turned 91.
But when Plymouth police arrived at the home, they were overwhelmed by the stench of urine and feces. They found the woman in bed, wearing a robe and fur coat, her boots covered in feces.
Police arrested David for elderly neglect.
"My mother, she wouldn't eat in the end," David says.
David did, however, take his mother to the bank that day. They rode there together in a taxi, seven hours before he reported her dead.
He took out $850 in her name. But bank employees said Caryl's feet were dragging under her wheelchair. A search warrant citing those employees says she "did not move" and employees "couldn't tell if she was breathing."
A neighbor who saw them leave in the taxi also wonders if she was dead.
"I don't know if she was unconscious, or not alive," the neighbor says.
The Plymouth police chief says Hennepin County Adult Protection Services made an in-home visit in 2012. But authorities found Caryl lucid and able-bodied, and she told them she wanted to stay with her son. The question is if the situation deteriorated between then and two weeks ago.
"If it was such a big deal why didn't they take her out of here?" David says.
But authorities investigated David for financial exploitation on at least two occasions. There was a reverse mortgage his mother couldn't explain to the tune of $118,000, cash withdrawals of $47,500, and another for $25,600.
David says the money came from a joint bank account, and that everything he did, he did for his mother.
"I love my mother very much," he says. "I gave my life to keep my mother alive. Look at my eyes."
Last year, there were 9,853 calls in Hennepin County reporting vulnerable adult maltreatment, and 4,409 of those cases involved non-licensed facilities, such as home care.
Those calls led to about 714 active field investigations.

De ouders waren in Nigeria.
Een Amerikaans stel heeft zijn twee zoontjes, een tweeling van negen jaar oud, maanden lang aan hun lot overgelaten.
De ouders waren op reis naar Nigeria. Ze hadden een oom van de jongens gevraagd om op ze te passen. Deze kwam echter alleen eens in de zoveel dagen wat te eten langsbrengen, zo schrijft FoxNews.
Toen politieagenten lucht van de zaak kregen en bij het huis langsgingen, troffen ze de tweelingbroertjes aan. Er werd nauwelijks eten ontdekt, enkel wat noedels. De oom van de jongens is opgepakt wegens verwaarlozing. De kids zijn ondergebracht bij een pleeggezin.

"In dog we trust".
Een fout bij de productie van een vloerkleed van een sheriff uit de Amerikaanse staat Florida, heeft duizenden dollars opgeleverd.
Enkele maanden geleden werd het nieuwe vloerkleed in het kantoor van de Sheriff gelegd. Onlangs ontdekte een medewerker dat er een fout in de tekst op het tapijt staat. In plaats van "In God we trust" staat er "In dog we trust" op het tapijt. Dat schrijft NY Daily News.
Het vloerkleed werd vervangen en het foute tapijt werd geveild. Een anonieme bieder heeft er 9.500 dollar voor betaald. De opbrengst van de veiling gaat naar een opvangcentrum voor gewonde honden.

De oudjes tuigden elkaar af, maar weten niet meer waarom.
Een hoogbejaard stel uit de Amerikaanse staat Florida heeft elkaar het ziekenhuis ingeslagen. Het stel is al 64 jaar getrouwd.
De vrouw (83) meldde zich bij een artsenpost met haar man. Ze waren beide gewond, al was de man (89) er erger aan toe.
Een zuster schakelde de politie in, waarop de vrouw beschuldigd werd van het mishandelen van haar man, zo schrijft Metro. De man gaf echter aan dat ze beiden gevochten hadden. Gevraagd naar de reden van hun knokpartij zei het stel zich dat niet meer te kunnen herinneren.

Hij had tegen een vriend gezegd dat hij Netflix ging kijken met zijn familie.
Zaterdagochtend (lokale tijd) heeft een vader zijn twee dochters, zijn vriendin en haar moeder door het hoofd geschoten in een woning in New York. Zijn levenloze lichaam werd later op de dag elders aangetroffen. Zijn oudste dochter is de enige die het drama heeft overleefd.
Ondanks dat er een kogel door haar hoofd ging, was ze in staat om het alarmnummer te bellen. Ze is in kritieke toestand in het ziekenhuis opgenomen.
De 34-jarige Jonathan Walker (een voormalig professioneel basketbalspeler) zou van kamer naar kamer zijn gelopen om zijn familie te doden. Zijn vrienden hebben geen idee wat hem bezielde. Hij zou tegen een vriend hebben gezegd dat hij Netflix ging kijken met zijn familie.
Walker zou rond vijf uur 's ochtends het huis uit zijn gevlucht, schrijft Fox News. Hij werd later die dag met een kogel in zijn hoofd dood aangetroffen in zijn auto.
Tja, dat soort dingen blijf je dus houden in een land waar 90 van de 100 mensen een vuurwapen hebben...

Published time: January 26, 2015 17:00
Edited time: January 27, 2015 02:33
A man shot himself in the chest outside the News Corporation building in midtown Manhattan. The former employee of the company had been protesting Fox News before he killed himself, according to reports.
News Corporation Headquarters building in New York (Reuters / Lucas Jackson)
The man, identified as Phillip Perea, was handing out fliers, saying his former employer had "ended my career" and that the news channel had ruined his life, a police official told the Wall Street Journal. The 41-year-old had previously worked at a Fox News affiliate in Austin, Texas. The Journal, also owned by News Corp., is in the same building.
Security guards asked the man to leave and when they turned around to walk back inside, they heard a gunshot, a source told the New York Post.
A suicide note was found in Parea's pocket and a small-caliber pistol was next to him, police said.
Kris Lew was preparing to open a coffee-and-food cart, the Cinnamon Snail, nearby around 7:45 am when she "heard two shots—'Pop. Pop.'—really quick," she told the Journal. "I know what gunshots sound like…It was a thing where I thought to myself, 'Those sound exactly like gunshots, but it can't be, because we're in Rockefeller Center'."
Videos uncovered by AOL News titled 'The American Workplace Bully: How FOX News Ended My Career', "paint the picture of a disgruntled former employee who he believes was outed as part of a master plot against him," the online news organization reported.
About an hour before his death, Perea tweeted more criticisms of his former employer, and linking to one of his 35 YouTube videos railing against Fox News. The eight-minute video laid out his complaints against the channel.
He was found unresponsive outside News Corp. headquarters, and was rushed to Bellevue Hospital Center. He was pronounced dead an hour later, police said.
The suicide comes only a day after a murder-suicide involving coworkers at a Home Depot just 23 blocks south of Monday morning's incident.
Perea was a promotion producer at Fox affiliate KTBC, and teased a story on Facebook in February that showed a crying jaywalker being arrested next to a picture of Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo reacting to the viral video.
Perea's bosses at the station thought the photo of Acevedo was "more sensational than informative" ‒ in part because the police chief didn't like the image, the Austin Chronicle reported.
The producer was set to be suspended three months later due to the incident, as well as alleged inappropriate behavior and an alleged general inability to follow directions, according to the Chronicle. Perea was subsequently fired.

Het diertje mocht niet mee aan boord van een vliegtuig.
De politie in de Amerikaanse staat Nebraska heeft een vrouw aangehouden omdat ze een puppy zou hebben verdronken in de wc op een vliegveld.
De vrouw mocht het diertje niet mee aan boord nemen omdat de pup pas geboren was, en de vrouw hem niet fatsoenlijk vervoerde. Volgens FoxNews was het beestje nog zo jong dat het zijn ogen nog dicht had.
De vrouw besloot zich van de puppy te ontdoen door deze te verdrinken in de wc. Nadat het lijk werd ontdekt werd de vrouw aangehouden. Ze zit vast op verdenking van dierenmishandeling.

SPRINGVILLE, Utah — Jan 27, 2015, 11:37 PM ET
By LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press
A Utah couple and their three children who were found dead in their home last fall overdosed on drugs after the parents told friends and family they were worried about the apocalypse, authorities said Tuesday.
Police also found old letters written by the mother to a Utah inmate serving time for killing family members in the name of God, slayings chronicled in the 2003 Jon Krakauer book "Under the Banner of Heaven."
Benjamin and Kristi Strack and three of their four children — ages 11, 12 and 14 — were found dead in September in a locked bedroom of their Springville home. All five were tucked into covers in and around their parents' bed.
At a news conference Tuesday, Springville Police Chief J. Scott Finlayson said investigators have concluded their probe and determined the family members died from drug toxicity from either methadone, heroin or a combination of drugs, including those found in cold medicine.
Authorities determined the parents committed suicide. The younger two children's deaths were ruled homicides, although Finlayson said there were no signs of a struggle.
The manner of death for the 14-year-old, Benson Strack, was undetermined.
Police said Benson wrote a goodbye letter, leaving some of his belongings to his best friend. The only other recent writing the family left behind was a notebook containing handwritten to-do lists about feeding the pets and other chores.
Finlayson said interviews with people who knew the Stracks indicated the parents were worried about evil in the world and wanted to escape from "impending doom."
"There seemed to be a concern about a pending apocalypse that the parents bought into," Finlayson said. "While some friends though that suicide may have been, or could have been, included in their plans, others believed they were going to move somewhere and live off the grid."
During their investigation, police found years-old letters between Kristi Strack and Dan Lafferty, who is serving a life sentence after being convicted of committing a double-murder with his brother Ron.
"Under the Banner of Heaven" is about members of an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told through the true story of the Laffertys' crimes. The two killed their brother's wife and 15-month old daughter.
Ron Lafferty is on death row after his conviction in the July 1984 slayings of his sister-in-law, Brenda Lafferty, and her baby in American Fork. He claimed to have had a religious revelation sanctioning the slayings because of the victim's resistance to his beliefs in polygamy.
Investigators said Kristi Strack was deeply interested in the case and struck up a friendship with Dan Lafferty.
"It was almost like he talked to her like one of his children," Lt. David Caron said. She and her husband both became close to him, and he had directed his remains to go to them after his death. They hadn't talked to him since 2008 and investigators do not believe the couple's beliefs came from Dan Lafferty, police Cpl. Greg Turnbow said.
"He felt really sad they had committed suicide," Caron said.
Benjamin Strack's brother Jacob said the final report from investigators wasn't surprising to relatives still mourning the family's deaths.
Looking back, the connection to Dan Lafferty was a troubling sign about the couple's mental state, he said.
The Stracks' older son and the children's grandmother found the bodies Sept. 27, according to search warrants. The older son was Kristi Strack's child from a previous marriage.
Police found cups with liquid inside next to each of the bodies and a child's sand bucket behind a door with traces of the same combination of methadone and cold medication that was found in their systems.
Police believe that Benjamin Strack died last because he was the only member of the family who wasn't underneath bed covers.
In a recording of the 911 call released Tuesday, family friend Maureen Ledbetter tells the dispatcher about the deaths as grandmother Valerie Sudweeks screams in the background.
The methadone used in the deaths was prescribed to Kristi Strack, police said.
Court records show Benjamin and Kristi Strack had a history of legal and financial problems and had gone through court-ordered drug treatment several years ago. Investigators said they weren't aware of any contact with state child services workers.
Benjamin Strack's boss, bricklaying company owner Alex Short, has said it appeared those troubles were behind them.

Cop Opens Fire With AR-15 While Driving During High Speed Chase [RAW VIDEO]
The following video shows an Albuquerque police officer using his patrol rifle to open fire on a suspect during a high speed pursuit back in October of 2013.
The incident started when Christopher Chase, armed with an AK-47 style rifle, walked up to an passerby, ordering him to call 911 and tell the police he was waiting for them.
When police arrived, Chase fired several gunshots and stole an Albuquerque police car from an officer who was seeking cover.
The ensuing pursuit led to a rolling, high speed shootout between Chase and law enforcement officers. Three police officers and a sheriff's deputy were wounded in the minutes-long encounter.
Police were able to ram the stolen police vehicle into a gas station and opened fire again on Chase, killing him.
While serving a warrant at Chase's home that night, police found what appeared to be IED's.
"He had what was fishing line, what appeared to be fake artillery shells, with wires coming out of them, and he had the windows boarded up," Albuquerque Police Department Chief Allen Banks said.
"The subject called and waited for police. I call it a senseless act, a coward's act," Banks said when asked if the shooting was an ambush.
Here is the full video of the incident:

Running Businesses − Where Does The Shoe Pinch?
Getting easy credit and registering property without glitches and harassment are two other factors keeping India away from its target.
Photo Credit : Reuters
The World Bank has been bringing out a yearly report on 'Doing Business' for the last 17 years. Of the 190 countries in the world, only 115 are tracked for 'ease of doing business'.
In New Zealand, you can start your business on the same day. No wonder it has topped the World Bank list in the last four years, closely followed by Singapore and Hong Kong. Other high ranking countries in the list are Denmark, South Korea, the USA, Georgia, UK, Norway and Sweden.
Only two African countries make it to the list of 115 countries − Rwanda and Mauritius. In fact, Latin America is the worst continent, where no country is in the World Bank's reckoning for this purpose.
What factors does the World Bank take into consideration in assessing where the shoe pinches? A dozen parameters are evaluated, of which the most important are employing workers, getting construction permits, accessing power, obtaining credit, paying taxes and enforcing contracts. In the Indian context, three factors are more relevant, registering property, trading across borders and resolving insolvency.
Over the years, which countries have taken this report seriously and made amends? Visual Capitalist observes that Saudi Arabia at 62nd position has jumped several notches. Bahrain has also catapulted itself to the 43rd rank. China has inclined upwards progressively and reached the 31st place. India too is improving every year and has scaled up to the 63rd slot recently, still 13 short of the target.
Niti Aayog monitors India's performance regularly and exhorts state governments to reform their systems. Enormous progress has been made by the Delhi and Mumbai municipalities from the totally porous and corrupt system of the past, by allowing online construction permits. Online tax payments have seen large reforms, enabling India to jump up every year. Many state governments have started single-window clearances to expedite starting of businesses.
Then where and why does the shoe pinch? Being in the government for 35 years and now on the other side as a consultant, I clearly find five obstructions hindering our progress. First, the income tax department is the biggest offender. If the number of tax appeals alone are an indication, the figure runs into several lakhs, involving small and medium businesses. Tax rates and tax collection methods need to drop undue complexities. Tax staff need to upgrade the capacity building in tune with digital processing. Tax laws need coherent simplification and huge reconciliation because each day's delay in getting out of the cobwebs, adds to the interest and penalty burden.
Secondly, a plethora of laws confuses the wisest. As a board member of a sugar-producing company, I found that it was cornered by more than 50 laws in Uttar Pradesh, some dating back to the British period. The law ministry needs to seriously take feedback from industry and trash most of its old, archaic laws.
The third big bottleneck is the court and the engulfment of cases there for eternity. Each high court judge needs to spend a day a fortnight in inspecting lower courts, rewarding good judges and punishing the black sheep. The carrot and stick treatment alone can dilute the coagulated chaos here.
Getting easy credit and registering property without glitches and harassment are two other factors keeping India away from its target. Let the Niti Aayog concentrate on these five issues and I'm sure we will reach the target of the top 50. Otherwise, the danger of sliding back looms large.

You can register on-site starting on Sunday, 4:00 PM, at the foyer.
Salon A. Closed Session.
Republic of Turkey Ambassador's Residence: 1606 23rd Street, NW Washington, DC 20036
Continental Breakfast
Opening Ceremony and Welcoming Remarks
The opening plenary of this year's conference will center on the restoration of political and business relations between the United States and Turkey, focusing on the ways in which the refurbishment of industry-to-industry relations may function as a gateway for mutual understanding and cooperation across sectors. Panelists will address the major issues affecting both countries while simultaneously depicting how collaboration may serve as the ultimate tool of engendering success, as individuals from either side are encouraged to develop mutually-beneficial solutions to common problems. This panel will underscore the historical value of the U.S.-Turkey alliance as well as demonstrate its prevailing significance, noting that hardship provides a unique opportunity for growth and the evocation of even more formidable relations going forward.
Morning Networking Break
This panel will provide an update on the Turkish government's domestic defense industrial advancement program and discuss how it will impact US-Turkey relations, in addition to Turkey's relations with other NATO allies. The Turkish government's new program aims to modernize Turkey's military forces and help balance its trade deficit, which provides a unique opportunity to improve cooperative endeavors between American and Turkish defense industry firms while increasing the vitality of the overarching relationship. Our expert defense industry panelists from both Turkey and the United States will provide valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for future cooperation presented by the shift in Ankara's defense industrial policy.
Despite resurgent support for protectionist trade policies, ongoing diplomatic uncertainty, and the obstacles created by new tariffs, one of the world's best destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI) continues to be the United States. This trend holds true with U.S.-Turkish trade, as bilateral trade and the number of Turkish firms investing in the United States have both increased tremendously within the last five years, demonstrating the benefits of a robust, productive partnership. This panel will discuss viable markets for investment in the United States with the help of recent FDI patterns along with the impacts of the recent steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration on trade relations between the two countries.
Preserving our natural resources and implementing sustainable waste management programs has become a focal point for government programs and private industries all around the world. The Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation, along with its private sector partners, has been actively working to implement Zero Waste programs by 2023. The 2023 vision targets minimization and prevention of waste production, changing consumption habits to minimize waste output, and separation of waste types at their sources. This panel will focus on Turkey's 2023 goals and discuss the current status of regulations, programs and opportunities in environmental technologies. The panel will also discuss planned projects and share best practice examples from zero waste programs in Turkey and the U.S.
Luncheon with Keynote Speaker
Both the United States and Turkey stand at the intersection between the past and future of infrastructure. As Turkey's middle class grows, so does its demand for energy and access to amenities like personal vehicles, making the development of Turkey's energy and transportation infrastructure integral to its economic growth for the immediate future. The United States, meanwhile, stands in desperate need of an infrastructure overhaul, both to maintain existing systems and to create new methods of meeting the demands created by new technologies. This panel will discuss how countries can benefit from mutual investment as well as business-to-business and business-to-government partnerships.
Cloud computing is a scalable platform that uses servers pooled together to provide modern-day assets, such as virtual computing, storage, and additional services in order to meet the needs of every type of organization, from small-to-medium enterprises to multinational corporations and governments. However, the transition into the Cloud is often clouded by many unknown variables pertaining to security, privacy, reliability, and performance. For example, a security breach through one organization has the potential to affect everyone operating over the cloud, making it more important than ever for allies to work together to guarantee each other's security online. Our expert panelists from Turkey and the United States from both the public and private sectors will discuss the benefits and challenges of cloud computing, the best practices for cloud security, and the most effective methods of enhancing protection through the implementation of cloud-based services.
Afternoon Networking Break
The majority of global energy investment is now going to renewable energy production, while almost two thirds of net power capacity around the world in 2017 was generated by renewable technologies. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that, within the next five years, growth in renewable energy generation will be twice as large as that of gas and coal combined. This prodigious growth has prompted the American private sector to push for investment in renewable energy production, while Turkey has diversified its energy portfolio and made renewable energy production capacity the centerpiece of its new national energy strategy. This panel will explore the future outlook of renewable energy capacity and its impact on the electricity market as well as potential partnership and investment opportunities between the U.S. and Turkey.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly invisible and assimilated into our daily lives as it quietly penetrates almost every major industry, from healthcare and finance to transportation and education. AI has many benefits, but brings with it myriad potential challenges and questions that will affect the future of work, privacy, and public policy. Understanding the models used to design new AI technology is essential to maintaining public safety. AI's potential impact on innovation and its inherent risks require us to identify the role that policy and institutions play in promoting effective incentives for safety. This panel will discuss AI's potential of delivering benefits to society, increasing efficiency, improving quality of life, and the policies required to minimize risks.
Networking Reception
H.E. Berat Albayrak, Minister of Treasury and Finance of Turkey | | Jared Kushner, Senior Advisor to the President (invited)
Continental Breakfast
Opening Remarks
Turkey remains the 19th largest economy on Earth and the second largest destination for Foreign Direct Investment in West Asia, attracting myriad international investors from around the world. Even during times of economic turbulence, many companies have chosen to invest their time and capital in Turkey. Private sector investors and companies concurrently act as a bridge between the United States and Turkey, helping to maintain a durable relationship in difficult times. Join us as we ask high level executives from leading companies why they chose to invest in Turkey in particular, how recent financial turbulence has affected their investment strategies, and what advice they have for other companies seeking to follow in their footsteps.
Morning Networking Break
5G technology will impact almost every industry and enable the creation of a wide array of new services and revenue streams. Moreover, this new and emerging technology will serve as the cornerstone of a new digital environment and become the focal point for a new competitive age, a decade where intellectual property, standards, and patents will play an integral role in the technological marketplace. Though full of potential, 5G networks will require different and novel security measures that vary based on sector-specific needs. This panel will discuss potential security challenges and explore the innovative initiatives working to secure the networks of the new decade.
H.E. Ruhsar Pekcan, Minister of Trade | Honorable Wilbur Ross, Secretary of Trade
Please schedule your meetings through the Conference App
Hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
See what our participants say about the conference:
The United States and Turkey need each other. Ours is not a partnership of convenience or of temporary interests. It is one of conviction. A time tested alliance built on the enduring foundation of common interests, mutual respect, and shared values.
… the U.S.-Turkey relationship has long made both countries safer, more innovative, and more prosperous.
Those of us who want to live in freedom, those of us who want to live in prosperity and those of us who want to live in safety, have to find ways to work together, particularly in times of political turmoil.
For over 6 decades, Turkey and the United States have been staunch allies and strong partners, bound by common values and mutual interests.

Dear Editor,
In regard to the three major projects in B.C., the Coastal Gas Link pipeline, the Trans Mountain expansion project, and the Site C dam project, the most important statement in this article, and the only one that really matters, is the statement, "Despite the protests, delays and court challenges, work is proceeding on all three of these projects."
The rest is a political side show, of sound and fury, signifying nothing. It will soon pass.

UPDATE: AG Talauega officially steps down to run for Lt Gov
Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — At the conclusion of a Senate committee hearing last Friday, Talauega Eleasalo Va'alele Ale officially announced publicly that he was stepping down as Attorney General, but he did elaborate on his future plans.
(But senators have known that Talauega planned to be Lt. Gov. Lemanu Palepoi Sialega Mauga's running mate in the Nov. 3rd election).
During a cabinet meeting early last month, Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga announced that Talauega would be stepping down from his post after he argues ASG's case at a federal appeals court in early February.
"As we have discussed, this letter formally confirms my intent to resign from the Office of Attorney General, effective Feb. 15, 2020," Talauega wrote in a letter dated Feb 7th to the governor with copies sent to Fono leadership, and Chief Justice Michael Kruse. "It has been a great honor and privilege to serve the people of American Samoa and your administration these past six years as Attorney General," he continued. "Thank you for the opportunity and trust in me."
Lolo accepted the resignation on Feb. 10th.
Before leaving office, Talauega had one last official duty, when he appeared last Friday morning to testify on an Administration bill. At the conclusion of the hearing, Talauega informed senators that it was his last official duty, as he was leaving the office that day.
He expressed sincere appreciation and thanked the Senate and its leadership for their trust and confidence in him, by twice-confirming him to the AG post.
He apologized if his service in the past years was not in accordance with their views. But, he added, the son of Alataua County, who has roots going back to Manu'a, now returns home to his county.
Committee chairman Nuanuaolefeagaiga Saoluaga Nua informed Talauega that it's the wish of senators that he remain the AG. However, he wished Talauega the best in his future plans.
There was no mention during this exchange, of Talauega running for public office.
At the Lemanu and Talauega gubernatorial team campaign rally last Saturday, Lemanu informed the audience that Talauega stepped down as AG, as of last Friday.

Such a fun day for the first group training session. Weather was cool, sun was out. The key focus early in training is to strengthen connective tissue, build muscle, and do some aerobic conditioning.
The aerobic system can be developed fundamentally by time on your feet. This can be done very effectively at 60% of HR Max. To maintain & develop your aerobic engine, the bulk of your training plan should be relatively easy in effort. In addition, at easy levels of effort, the strain on your connectivity tissue is reduced and recovery is substantially easier, which reduces overall injury risk.
Squats, lunges, planks & bridges introduce load to the musculature and connective tissue. Over a course of 4-6 weeks, consistent body weight strength work will make you a stronger and injury resistant athlete.
Combine 4 short, 10-min runs with multiple sets of strength work and now you have a formidable, time-efficient workout that works everything you need to begin to set your running base and improve your durability as an athlete.
Be efficient with your time, stay out of the gym at least for now, and enjoy the fall weather. Bask in the glory of being outside during the changing seasons with your friends.
It's happening – 4 days to go. Get your shoes on and laces tied for the off season run/strength program. The team will meet at Connecticut Muffin on the corner of Prospect Park West & 15 St. in Brooklyn. On site registration is at 7:30 am or register now so you can sleep in a bit more.
Workout begins at 8:00 am! First work out is 30-40 mins of EZ running interspersed with body weight strength exercises. Come and have some fun in the park!

Tennis elbow is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes sore and tender. It is commonly associated with playing tennis and other racquet sports, though the injury is not unique to racquet sports.
The condition is more formally known as lateral epicondylitis ("inflammation to the outside elbow bone") , lateral epicondylosis, or simply lateral elbow pain.
And with the pain comes weakness and decreased function of the affected arm. When it's bad, you can forget about holding a suitcase or playing tennis or even shaking hands.
In a nutshell, it's a real pain in the….lateral epicondyle.
Current treatments include:
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin
- Heat or ice
- A counter-force brace or "tennis elbow strap" to reduce strain at the elbow epicondyle, to limit pain provocation and to protect against further damage.
- Rest
- Acupuncture
- Blood injection (possibly augmented by plateletpheresis)
- Botulinum toxin
- Extra-corporeal shock wave therapy (lithotriptor)
- Heat therapy
- Immobilization of the forearm and elbow using a splint for two to three weeks
- Local injection of cortisone and a numbing medicine
- Low level laser therapy
- Occupational therapy, primarily for stretching and strengthening of the wrist extensor musculature.
- Physical therapy
- Platelet-rich plasma[9]
- Pulsed ultrasound to break up scar tissue, promote healing, and increase blood flow in the area
- Sclerotherapy
- Trigger point therapy
- Electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture
- Soft-tissue physical therapy
- Massage
- Cortisone injections
- And a variety of resistance exercises and stretches
And sadly, up until this point, there has been little evidence to support the value of any of these interventions for prevention, treatment, or avoidance of recurrence of lateral epicondylosis.
That is, up until researchers (Timothy Tyler, Stephen Nicholas, Gregory Thomas & Malachy McHugh) from the Nicholas Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma/Pro Sports Physical Therapy created a brand spanking new wrist extensor exercise that they hoped would provide an effective and inexpensive treatment for chronic lateral epicondylitis.
The new exercise is a low cost/high creativity variation on a $50,000 isokinetic exercise machine found in high end physical therapy clinics.
And to test their new isolated eccentric wrist-extensor strengthening exercise, they designed this study.
- They separated 21 patients with tennis elbow, into two groups.
- Both groups received wrist-extensor muscle stretching, ultrasound, massage, heat and ice for treatment.
- Group 1 performed the isolated eccentric wrist-extensor strengthening exercise using a rubber FlexBar from Thera-Band.
- Group 2 did standard isotonic strengthening exercises.
The FlexBar group had significantly better results.
- 76% improvement compared to 12% improvement.
In fact, given the disparity in results, the researchers terminated the randomization of the study and put everyone onto their new isolated eccentric strength training exercise.
So, for all of those people out there suffering from tennis elbow, here's what you need to do:
But first, we need to come up with a new name.
Isolated eccentric strength training exercise for the treatment of Tennis Elbow isn't going to work. We need something snappy.
How about The Tyler Twist™?

UNITED NATIONS —United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton today marked the 15th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) by announcing her government's renewed commitment to reaching the ICPD goals and other related United Nations agreements, including the Millennium Development Goals, by 2015.
Secretary Clinton made her remarks just a few months after the announcement by the United State to restore funding for UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund—the lead international organization entrusted with implementing the ICPD Programme of Action.
"UNFPA welcomes and commends the strong support of the United States and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the agreement reached at the 1994 ICPD," said UNFPA Executive Director Thoraya Ahmed Obaid. "UNFPA also applauds the commitment of the United States to advance universal access to reproductive health to protect the well-being of men, women and youth worldwide and reduce poverty."
At the 1994 ICPD held in Cairo, 179 nations reached consensus on actions needed to achieve universal access to education, especially for girls; reductions in infant, child and maternal mortality; and universal access to reproductive health over the next 20 years.
"With the support of the United States and other nations," said Ms. Obaid, "we can double current investments in reproductive health, which would reduce maternal death by 70 per cent and cut infant death nearly in half."
A transcript of Secretary Clinton's speech is available on www.icpd2015.org.

kenda juggernaut pro 4.0 The fat tires are great for dealing juggefnaut poorly maintained pavement, and a BBSHD gives it a good turn of speed and the ability to easily carry a load or pull a trailer.
I would love to see review on the more budget friendly Kenda Juggernaut Sport.
My fatbike has kenda krusader sports 4. This lets you run lower tire pressure with less fear of pinch flats and without the added weight of a tube.
Lower kenda juggernaut pro 4.0 pressure has many benefits, including greater traction and lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces. The tire can also be used with a tube if you mount it on a standard, non-tubeless-ready rim.

Hike Reviews
March 04, 2012
In response to sfratini
You are right- the hike is very interesting. But enter at your own risk at the moment. The maps have yet to be updated at the entrance, there are currently 2 red trails, yet one is NOT marked on the map. Neither have the Green, Orange, Yellow and Red #2 trails been added to the map. If you stick to the White trail to Blue Trail- that is a 1 hour hike that takes you up to and through the Quarry. The park is in Yorktown, NY at the end of Morris Lane, off of Lexington Avenue. As for bringing your dogs, the rules posted at the entrance are somewhat confusing. One sign says "No Dogs", while another is asking you to "leash your pets." This is a great place to bring your dog and many, many people do. Please be a responsible dog owner though and clean up after your dog, otherwise it will ruin it for those who enjoy being able to explore the woods with our favorite four-legged companions.

Where is it?
Very hard to figure out where this is based on the driving directions ... "Sylvan Glen Park" does not show up when doing a Google Maps search. It would help to provide the name of the town where this is located with an intersection close to the park. Don't mean to sound negative. The hike itself looks very interesting.

Wildlife Diary 11th July
The Thread:
Keen Osprey webcam watchers will have noticed that our osprey chicks Blue 44 has a slender sewing thread currently hanging down from the Satellite tracking harness on his chest. This thread seems to have worked loose from the sewing where the four slender harness straps meet at the front , possibly as a result of either the chick his mum pecking at the area.
We are aware of this and are speaking to Roy Denis, the expert who places the harness and tag on our chick, about whether or not it is an impediment or risk to the bird- we will let you know asap what his expert advice is. Meanwhile the thread seems more of an annoyance than anything and the chick is still able to move, preen and eat properly so is in no immediate danger.
Other of you have noticed that the chick seems to rest standing on one leg- this is completely normal and is just his way of roosting- all birds do this, and you will have noticed that his mum has a 'favorite' leg to stand on too. When Blue 44 moves about, he is sound and moves normally on both legs so there is nothing wrong with his feet or legs.
In fact he has been doing some great wing stretches and flaps today, and these are getting ever more vigorous, which is a really good sign- fledging may still be a few days off but he needs all the practice he can get to ensure those wing muscles are in good condition . My guess is that the first flight could be around next weekend- but I've learnt over the years with Ospreys that they always surprise you!

The continuing debate over the current financial crisis aside the dash for the latest government gold rush appears to be in full swing. Government policy started the crisis, not the so-called free market. Now, the government seeks to make matters worse while appearing to make life better. At least for those that have the ability to contribute the millions that it takes to stay in elected office.
When governments attempt to "fix" economies by meddling with the free markets that power them, these would-be market-driven economies become political footballs. Economic decisions that would have been fairly and justly arbitrated by unbiased, natural laws of economics become decided on purely political grounds. Markets lose stability in direct proportion to the extent of such meddling. This is certainly the case with the government "fix" known as TARP, or Troubled Asset Relief Program. The bailout package was originally crafted to relieve banks so that they would remain solvent, preventing further meltdown of the U.S. economy. But with $700 billion up for grabs, TARP's original purpose was thrown under the bus in the gold rush that ensued. Now everyone wants in on the government's largess, and markets have reacted accordingly. And why not? Why shouldn't we all line up to "get ours" if the government is giving away "free" money? Sadly, this seems to be the new American corporate mindset.
Insurance giant AIG, for instance, is now slated to receive more than $150 billion in the largest single bailout allotment from TARP thus far. The government effectively nationalized AIG in the process, establishing a $40 billion stake in the world's largest insurer. Eager to get in on the TARP lottery, American Express — that's right, the credit card company — is apparently also now a "bank," having been so blessed by the Federal Reserve. Evidently unaware of AMEX's subtle approach, one draping the hat-in-hand recipient in "bank-like" trappings, U.S. automakers are pursuing more blunt-instrument strategies. Their game plan? Simply demand funds from Washington on the basis that, well, they need the cash, and everyone else seems to be getting an awful lot of it lately. Perfect.
The government has committed $290 billion so far without any oversight because Congress has yet to fill the positions it created. Somewhere in all of this thrash for cash is a lesson about the proper role of government in a free market economy. We just hope that this lesson hits home before The Great Depression, Part II does.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to
save a search once you have done a good search and are happy with it. I will also show you how to set up a search
alert if you should so choose to use one. The first step, anytime that you are doing
a saving of a search is first, you need to create a good search. The next thing is you need to make sure that
you're logged in your My NCBI account, which remember up here in this top right corner,
if you're not signed in, it'll ask you to sign in. Put in your username and password, and then
you'll see something like what you see over here in the top right – where as you can see I'm
logged in to My NCBI account. The next step is to go back in to your search
history which you get to by clicking on Advanced. Once here, you'll notice that you have your
search history and everything that you've searched for. And in order to save a search, all you need
to do is come over here to the number or the line of the search history you're interested
in saving and clicking on it. When you do, you'll notice that you have a
couple choices. The choice that's important when it comes
to saving a search is the one at the very bottom: Save in My NCBI. When you click on that, you'll then come to
this screen which will show you your search strategy as you can see here. But then you'll also see a name for the search. The default name for the search is actually
the search strategy itself. You can change this just by highlighting it
and erasing it – which can always take a minute depending on how long it is – and typing something
else in and then clicking Save. Once you do this, you'll see that I have an
invalid e-mail, but once you've done this you'll notice that you have a couple choices. One choice you have is that you can go in
and here at the bottom, create what is called a search alert. A search alert is something that if you have
a really good search and you're interested in a particular topic in wanting to stay up-to-date
on it, that you can use in order to do that. What it does is it runs your search – the
search that we're saving, while you're not logged in and sends you the results whenever
you should designate you want it done. Like in this case, if I wanted it done once
a month I could say, "Yes, once a month," and then designate when during that month
I would like it sent to me. You can do it for once a week, and you can
do it everyday if you would like. It just depends. You'll notice that once you select one you
can also have a report format such as abstract so that you know exactly what the article
is about and not just depending on the title. It just depends on what you want, as well
as how many items would you like it to send you in an e-mail. It's a really nice option, and you'll notice
that you can add any text you want to be added to your e-mail. There are all kinds of other options that
you can have. Now, at the same time that you're doing this,
if you don't want it to do that, you could keep it at No Thanks, come down towards the
bottom, click Save. And it'll tell you that your search has been
saved. Then, anytime you would like to rerun that
search, all you have to do is come back to your My NCBI, sign in, and then once you're
signed in, click on the top right corner. And you'll notice that your saved search shows
up here. One of the really nice things about having
these saved searches is that, if you leave them for several days, PubMed is constantly
updated. And what will happen when you look here is,
you'll see this What's New column. This What's New column will designate any
new articles that have come about as a result of your search since you last ran it, and
if you wanted to see them you could click here. Since I just did this search there are no
new articles, but when there are, I can click here and just see those articles. Now if I would like to run the search again
all I have to do is come over here and click on Sample. And when I click on Sample, what you'll notice
that happens is that the search is rerun, and I come back out to PubMed. And that is how you save a search in PubMed.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro wins competition to design artificial island complex in China
New York firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) has trumped nine other studios in a competition to masterplan a man-made island in Haikou Bay, China. In doing so, DS+R beat off Foster + Partners, UN Studio, and fellow New York practice Morphosis Architects to design 250-acre plot of land.
The crescent-shaped island is officially known as the South Sea Pearl Artificial Island and is located in China's Hainan province. It will be joined to Hainan—itself a large island off the south Chinese coast—by a bridge. Chinese developer HNA Group, the group funding the project, wants to create an eco-tourism hub complete with a hotel complex, theme park, yacht harbor, and cruise ship port. The total price tag will be $1.25 billion."Our studio worked for a couple of months to imagine how to take this amount of land and how to consolidate all the building program in the smallest footprint possible, but also in a very natural land form," said Elizabeth Diller, a partner at DS+R, in an interview with Chinese news service CCTV. "It's a stitching of nature and culture together, so we're very excited about that," she added. Meanwhile, Ni Qiang, the mayor of Haikou, spoke of the economic implications and what the project will mean to the island in a general sense. "This island will not only help boost local economic growth and create more jobs but also bring some of the world's most advanced concepts in urban development to China," he said. Construction is expected to begin in 2017 and take approximately a decade, wrapping up in 2027. The other offices that competed were: Office of Architecture in Barcelona; Seoul-based Iroje Architects & Planners; Rotterdam-based KuiperCompagnons; Los Angeles-based The Jerde Partnership, Beijing-based CCDI, and internationally-based Boston International Design Group.
See Iwan Baan's photos of DS+R's Vagelos Education Center
This 100,000-square-foot, 14-story tower—the tallest realized by DS+R and one of the rare medical school facilities designed as an integral vertical structure—inevitably raises the question of how successfully DS+R has negotiated the jump to the larger scale and challenge of a Manhattan high-rise. Happily, nothing in the Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center, except perhaps the somewhat perfunctory lobby, misses a beat, from the circulation and separation of complex programs to the small footplate that eliminates long, alienating corridors and the soundproofing that admits city sounds while maintaining a welcome silence. The "study cascade" side of the tower evokes the "folded noodle" of DS+R's unrealized Eyebeam design. But here, it is subject to a rigorous logic that is likely to establish the Vagelos Center as a textbook example of a much discussed design strategy, in the late 1990s and early twenty-first century, but not often realized in an effective and definitive form.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro unveils their new University of Chicago project
The University of Chicago has announced the approval of the preliminary designs for a new 90,000-square-foot complex designed by New York–based Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The David M. Rubenstein Forum is described by the university as "a place of intellectual, institutional, and educational exchange." The building will contain meeting and presentation spaces, as well as a Lake View Room at the top of a 165-foot tower. With the largest space able to accommodate up to 600 people, the Forum will be able to host large conferences.
A 285-seat auditorium will facilitate more formal lectures and presentations, along with film screenings and performances, and more intimate academic symposia will be held in its many smaller meeting spaces. David M. Rubenstein Forum will add to the university's already impressive list of buildings by notable architects, including Walter Netsch, Ricardo Legorreta, Eero Saarinen, and, more recently, Helmut Jahn and Jeanne Gang.

Liz Diller awarded 2016 ACADIA Lifetime Achievement Award
Mario Carpo and Elizabeth Diller Confirmed as Keynote Speakers for ACADIA 2016
The conference will focus on design work and research carried out in the fields of practice and academia that relate to "procedural design, designed environments and autonomous machines". More specifically, ACADIA 2016 will concentrate on contemporary trends in computational design that has been used to develop "quasi-cognitive machines" and "integration of software, information, fabrication and sensing to generate mechanisms for interfacing with the physical realm." Papers that touch on relative disciplines such as material science, biology, art, computer graphics, civil engineering, and human-computer interaction have been called to contribute to the discussion.
"Every year the ACADIA conferences bring together a world-class group of designers, architects, engineers, fabricators and thinkers exploring the intersection of computation, digital technologies and architecture," said Johnson. "In North America it has become the event to present, explore and debate emerging ideas in the field."This years event will be held at the University of Michigan Taubman College in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the conference itself will run from October 27 - 29, 2016.
