Sydney Pokorny
Sydney Pokorny is a lesbian-American writer and activist based in New York. She graduated from Vassar College in 1988 with a degree in art history. She has published numerous articles on topics ranging from "Madonna Studies" to art criticism and the AIDS epidemic. In addition to articles, she co-published a humor book called So You Want to be a Lesbian? (St. Martin's/Griffin). The book was nominated for a Lamba Literary Award
In 1989, she joined the newly formed Women's Caucus of ACT-UP after nearly a year in the group protesting housing issues, governmental policy, and lack of action by city and state agencies. As part of the Women's Caucus of ACT-UP she and other Caucus members put together a "teach-in" on the politics and problems faced by women with AIDS. This was the first public forum to specifically address the spectrum of issues faced by women living with AIDS. Her contribution, an essay on the epidemiological differences observed by researchers studying the presenting symptoms and progression of AIDS in men and women was included in the Women and AIDS Handbook that documented the teach-in. The Handbook was, until the early 90s, the only document to focus on all the issues faced by the growing number of women infected with HIV and living with AIDS. The Handbook was translated into nearly 90 different languages. Later published in a revised and expanded form as Women, Aids & Activism by South End Press in 1990, Pokorny's essay provided the impetus for a lengthier treatise on the subject of epidemiological issues and her essay, while not appearing in the book provided the research for the expanded and revised essay on the issue that did appear. She was given credit in the book's introduction.
Pokorny published numerous articles in Boston's Gay Community News. One of her contributions, cultural criticism on Madonna and "the lesbian gaze" called "Obsess Yourself" was published in the Gay Community News in 1989. It became an oft-cited work in the then growing field of "Madonna Studies." "Obsess Yourself" attempted to blend autobiography, cultural studies, minority cultures, issues of identity and Madonna. Quotations from "Obsess Yourself" may be found in essay collections as diverse as: AIDS and the National Body by Thomas E. Yingling and Robyn Wiegman, Acting Out: Lesbian Performances by Lynda Hart and Peggy Phelan, The Madonna Connection: Representational Politics, Subcultural Identities, and Cultural Theory, edited by Cathy Schwichtenberg and I Dream of Madonaa, edited by Kay Turner.
Following her contributions to the Gay Community News, Pokorny began contributing articles on gay and lesbian culture to the fledling publication, Outweek. There she wrote humorous articles about everything from her passion for Coco Chanel to her admiration for drag queens. Eventually, she teamed up with writer Liz Tracey to contribute a weekly nightlife column called "Out on the Town."
Pokorny worked as a production assistant on the film "Paris is Burning" and is credited as "Sidney Porknoy." Through her work on the film, she became interested in some of the ideas raised in the film and attempted to work them out in her writing. When Outweek ceased publication, Tracey and Pokorny continued their writing collaboration and produced a self-published zine called "Dead Jackie Susann Quarterly" which was heavily influenced by the house balls and the way that fame and celebrity was lived out in the ball rituals. Two issues of the zine were produced by Pokorny and Tracey in 1992-93. One issue of the zine is also in New York Univerity's Fales Collection of Papers by Contemporary writers. The issue is contained in a collection of papers donated by Dennis Cooper. The zine gathered press attention, for its humor and wit which was aimed at everything from pop culture to the election of Bill Clinton. The zine was mentioned in the Village Voice, was selected as an editor's choice in the 'zine guide Factsheet Five, and written up in People magazine.
She has contributed art reviews, topical essays, film reviews and record reviews for numerous publications such as the British art journal Frieze, the Boston Phoenix, Artforum, Bookforum, Time Out, LGNY, and Rockrgrl. Pokorny also worked for Artforum. She started as an editorial intern in 1990 and by the time she left the magazine she held two titles: Associate Editor in charge of coordinating book reviews and Editorial Coordinator of the magazine's spin-off publication, a quarterly review of books related to art and culture, called Bookforum.

Takeo Yasuda (1889-1964) was a Japanese military officer who, while serving as director of the Aviation Technology Research Institute during World War II, was a key figure in scientific and technological development for the Imperial Japanese Army, most notably his involvement in the early development of the Japanese atom bomb during the early stages of the war.
Biography
A graduate of Tokyo University, he enlisted in the Japanese army and became a chief signal officer in the Kwangtung Army and was later appointed Director of Research Department of the Army Signal School between 1932 and 1934. While assigned to the Ministry of War, he served as Chief of Fortifications Section for Military Affairs and Military Administration Bureau until 1937 when he became attached to Army Aeronautical Technical Research Institute. Initially heading the 2nd Bureau, he was also Head of Field Aviation Ordnance at the Japanese Imperial Headquarters before returning to the Institute as director of Army Aeronautical Technical Research by the end of the year. [1]
During the late-1930s, he became interested in nuclear physics specifically the potential for large energy releases through nuclear fission. In April 1940, by then a young army officer rising through the ranks, Lieutenant General Yasuda ordered Lieutenant Colonel Tatsusaburo Suzuki to prepare a report on the possibilities of developing an atomic weapon. Recieving a favorible report in December, Yasuda passed on this information to the Japanese Physical and Chemical Research Institute who in turn assigned the project to nuclear physicist Yoshio Nishina. [2] [3] [4]
Between 1942 and 1944, he was commander of the Tokyo-based IJN 1st Air Army, head of the Army Aeronautical Department and inspector-general of Army Aviation before being relieved of duty in April 1944. Serving as a member of the Supreme War Council during the final years of the war, Yasuda also returned to command of the IJN 1st Air Army however he retired shortly before the war's end. [1]

Palermo Metro
The Palermo rapid transit system is handled by the Italian State Railways and comprises of two subway lines.
History
The first part of the Palermo metro is the actual Line B, opened in 1990 one month before the Italy 90 world soccer championships. The line had 6 stations: Centrale, Vespri-Policlinico, Notarbartolo, Imperatore Federico-Stadio, Fiera, and Giachery.
The first two stations of the second line (today renamed Line A) opened in May 1993: San Lorenzo-Colli and Tommaso Natale, and two further stops were opened in 1994: Francia and Cardillo-Zen. In 2001 the line was electrified and extended to Punta Raisi airport, and the new stop Palazzo Reale-Orléans was opened.
The old trains were replaced with new "Minuetto" trains in 2004.
Existing tracks
Lineas A and B are actually operational, and extensions of both lines are under construction. Plans for lines C and D are in the process of being defined.
Travel tickets cost EUR 1 for a single ride and last 120 minutes.
Line A has 14 stations: Stazione Centrale, Vespri-Policlinico, Palazzo Reale-Orleans, Stazione Notarbartolo, Francia, San Lorenzo-Colli, Cardillo-Zen, Tommaso Natale, Isola delle Femmine, Capaci, Capaci-Torre Ciachea, Carini, Piraineto, and Aeroporto Falcone-Borsellino.
Trains run from 4:45 AM until 10:00 PM towards the airport, and from 5,30 AM until 11:00 PM towards Palermo's central train station, 7 days a week.
Line B has 4 stations: Stazione Notarbartolo, Imperatore Federico-Stadio, Fiera, Giachery. Trains run from 6:40 AM until 8:40 PM, on working days only.
Future Plans
Work is already in progress for the extension of Line A by adding 9 new stops: Roccella, Brancaccio residenziale, Guadagna, Palazzo di Giustizia, Lolli, Lazio-Restivo, Belgio, La Malfa, Sferracavallo. The rail tracks will be doubled, in order to increase train frequency between Orleans and Carini where actually trains run on a single railway track. Railway crossings will be replaced with underground tunnels and bridges.
Work is partially in progress to extend also Line B by building 4 new stops: Porto, Politeama, Malaspina-Catania, Lazio-Libertà.
Plans for Lines C and D include driver-less trains connecting Notarbartolo station to Oreto and Mondello respectively.
