Syntagma Square (Constitution Square), is located in central Athens, Greece. The Square is named after the Constitution that King Otto was forced to grant the people after a popular and military uprising, on September 3, 1843.

Syntagma Square entrance.The square proper is bordered by Vassileos Georgiou A' Street to the north, Othonos Street to the south, Filellinon Street to the west and Amalias Avenue to the east. The eastern side of the square is higher than the western, and dominated by a set of marble steps leading to Amalias Avenue; beneath these lies the Syntagma metro station. The stairs emerge below between a pair of outdoor cafes, and are a popular city-centre gathering place. Syntagma also includes two green areas to the north and south, planted with shade trees, while in the center of the square a large water fountain traditionally hosts the occasionally sighted Syntagma pigeons, along with heat-tormented Athenians during the summer.

Syntagma Square is also the frequent site of political demonstrations. The Greek Parliament is immediately across Amalias Avenue to the east, and surrounded by the extensive National Gardens, which are open to the public. Every hour, the changing of the guard ceremony, performed by the Presidential Guard, is conducted in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the area between the square and parliament. On Sundays and official holidays, the ceremonial changing of the guard takes place with an army band and the majority of the 120 Evzones present at 11am.

Location Information:

The American Airlines Center (commonly AAC) is a multi-purpose arena, located in the Victory Park neighborhood, neardowntown Dallas, Texas. It is home to the Dallas Mavericks, of the NBA, the Dallas Stars, of the NHL, and the Dallas Vigilantes, of the AFL. The arena is also used for concerts and other live entertainment.

Principal design work was carried out by David M. Schwarz Architectural Services of Washington D.C. The American Airlines Center was designed to be the heart of a new urban, commercial area designed to reinvigorate the city of Dallas called Victory Park. The facility itself features a conservative, traditional design with sweeping brick façades and smooth arches, and has been graced with a number of awards (below). The interior includes retractable seating, public art and a state-of-the-art technological arena. Because of the Quonset hut-like appearance of its roof and the fact that American Airlines holds the naming-rights some fans have come to refer to it as "The Hangar."

On the south side of the arena AT&T Plaza (also called Victory Plaza)serves as the principal entrance into the facility, designed by artist Athena Tacha in 2000. The plaza provides an open space with fountains flanked by retail and office buildings. With several high-definition video displays from Daktronics mounted on the side of the arena and office buildings, the plaza is often used for outdoor events and movie showings.

BP Oil Spill Live Feed - Pressure Tests Underway

Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill - Live Feed

As the Gulf of Mexico oil spill continues, optimism is growing that the latest capping attempt may prove successful, finally bringing an end to the flow of oil into the ocean.

Preparations are now well underway for a pressure test of the damaged oil well BP has said.

The test began late on Wednesday and is expected to last up to 48 hours. BP has said that valves were being positioned ready to gradually close the cap so that pressure could build up so the well's strength can be tested.

This live feed has a view directly over the leaking well, and will be one of the first to show whether the latest attempts are successful.
