	Athens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Athens (Greek: Αθήνα Athína, IPA /a'θina/) is the capital of Greece, and of the Attica prefecture of Greece.
		Athens sprawls across the central plain of Attica, which is bound by Mount Aegaleo on the west, Mount Parnitha on the north, Mount Penteli to the northeast, Mount Hymettus on the east, and the Saronic Gulf on the southwest.
		Athens was awarded the 2004 Summer Olympics on September 5, 1997 in Lausanne, Switzerland, after surprisingly having lost the bid to organize the 1996 Summer Olympics, the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games.

	System Size and Cost Structure of Transit Industry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Knowledge of the cost and production structure of transit systems can be instrumental in uncovering an array of important information regarding their operation.
		Research on the cost structure of mass transit systems using panel data frequently shows conflicting results with respect to issues such as economies of scale and density, and factor substitution elasticities.
		Based on panel data for fixed route public transit systems, the results indicate that transit services are characterized by a nonhomothetic production function, exhibiting returns to density and scale that depend on the size of the transit firm.

	EU shares Greece's Olympic triumph - (United Press International) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The success of the Athens Games, thanks to their EU subsidies, however, has transformed the economic and organizational dynamic of the Games as nothing has since they started to go "mega" in Rome in 1960.
		The Athens Games established the precedent that the EU could and did provide massive financial and organizational support for one of its smaller nation states that almost certainly would have lacked the resources to organize and host the Summer Games all on its own.
		Indeed, the success of the Athens Olympics offers a possible solution for the out-of-control gigantism and even commercialism that has infected the Summer Games for more than 40 years, and the corrective it suggests is an obvious one to the problems that have proliferated.

		Public transit's chief lobbyist said its members need $6 billion to upgrade security, and Congress is expected to increase funding in the coming weeks.
		The very nature of mass transportation makes it impossible to install metal detectors and take the other security measures that aim to protect the flying public.
		Nonetheless, the system needs about $5 billion in radio communications improvements, and the industry is also keen to deploy more cameras to surveil tunnels and stations, he said.
