Senior Advocate: Planning for retirement is topic of discussion
Q: I, like many others, have not thought about planning for retirement since it is in the distant future. But now with the economy the way it is, I'm beginning to have some questions. Do you have any referrals as to where to begin my research?
A: You certainly are not alone, and there is no time like the present to start making plans.
Even when the economy has improved, you will need to have a plan in place so you can look forward to retirement.
To get a good basic look at how to start planning for retirement, you might want to mark your calendar for the next Solving the Aging Puzzle seminar offered by Senior Concerns.
The presentation "Financial Planning — Plan Today for Tomorrow" is scheduled for April 14, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., at Senior Concerns Adult Day Center, 401 Hodencamp Road in Thousand Oaks.
This presentation will be facilitated by Adrianne Lowe, who is associated with The Wealth Consulting Group
Lowe will discuss calculating the cost of retirement and how much life insurance a person needs. She also will talk about "the Latte Habit" and inappropriate investments and will address the seven roadblocks to financial success.
For reservations and information, call Terry at 497-0189. Reservations are strongly suggested and should be made by April 13. However, walk-in attendees are always welcome.
If you are a caregiver for a special-needs senior and require respite care while attending the presentation, it is available at the center and must be arranged in advance, when you make your reservations.
This presentation will conclude the 2008-09 Solving the Aging Puzzle series. Planning is under way for the 2009-10 series, which begins in October. There are no fees for informational discussions and at each presentation there is time for questions from the audience.
Q: I don't know if it is because I'm a senior, but I'm tired of receiving poor responses to problems I try to resolve. Can you make any suggestions on how to "get what you pay for"?
A: I'm sure your frustrations are shared by the general public and are not limited to senior citizens. When you find that service or merchandise is less then acceptable, you have a right to complain. But to be effective, you need to be brief and to the point and, above all else, polite.
Keep your focus on the facts. Find a clerk or customer service representative and calmly explain what went wrong. If at all possible, offer a solution to the problem.
If the person gets defensive, try to speak to a manager.
Remember you need to locate only one reasonable person to effectively resolve the problem.
If your purchase was paid for by a credit card, you can present the problem to the credit card company. The credit card company, in turn, will follow up on your complaint and if it is valid may remove the charge from your account.
Many times, the establishment with which you have the problem turns out to be a franchise.
If this is the case and you have not made any headway at the local level, make an appeal to the corporate office.
If the existing problem is a government service or program, you may want to contact the office of the appropriate county, state or federal representative.
While a telephone call may be the most expedient way to make your problem known, I suggest putting the complaint in writing. If you choose to use the telephone, then I suggest you follow up with a letter confirming that contact.
In all cases, make sure you keep receipts, correspondence and warranties. This will help to prove that you did not receive what was promised.
Don't make idle threats. It will just make you look foolish and you won't be taken seriously.
Above all else, be courteous. The old expression that "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" still rings true.
April 8: Seminar: "Volunteering: A Win-Win Situation," facilitated by the Senior Advocate; Westlake Village Civic Center, 31200 E. Oak Crest Drive, Westlake Village. For details, call 495-6250.
— Betty Berry is a senior advocate for Senior Concerns. The advocates are at the Goebel Senior Adult Center, 1385 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks 91362; or call 495-6250. You are invited to submit questions on senior issues.

This buffet is awesome but I like lunch better than dinner.mmmmmm I lover the dinner loafs.its nit a lot of money so I do recommend this place.

My family and I had a great dinner at Kings Court Buffet. The food was fresh & tasty. Our waitress was very pleasant. I would recommend to anyone. We will be back...
Posted by Anonymous on 06/26/2012
Several of the food items were cold and appeared to of been sitting for long periods of time. When asked to change the food out they caught an attitude and let me know it was fine. I guess customre opinion or concern does not reign supreme at this buffet. I will not be returning.

As a vegetarian it's hard to find someplace with so many choices outside of center city or south philly (I live in Germantown) King's Court has nice friendly feel to it, the staff is polite and the food is very good. Lots of choices for me beyond just salad. Everytime we go otu to the movies King's court is the place ot eat afterards.

The woman who complained must have been having a really bad day! I go to King's Court buffet every so often on weekends or evenings to over-eat their wonderful steamed clams! They are perfect, tasty, and you can also pick up drawn butter and lemon. The waitress will furnish a shell-cracker, usually without asking. The atmosphere is private, with low-light, but it's a fine family restaurant. The other food besides the clams is very good, too, especially the seafood, but also the sushi choices and many Chinese noodle-plus-meat dishes with broccoli, which is never overcooked. This is a superior buffet--MUCH better than the Old Country down the street. I like it even better than King Buffet at the Plymouth Meeting Mall, which is pretty good but too open and bright to be comfortable. I have waited TWENTY minutes for the seafoods to be refreshed from the King Buffet kitchen! That would never happen at King's Court. Both serve similar food, but King's Court food is tastier and the service is faster.

My family and I attended this restuarant yesterday and this had to be my worst experience ever. I am not a person of high expectation, but really people don't waste your time. Some of the food on the buffet looked and taste like it had been sitting there for a long time. The crab legs were over cooked and cold. This is my second visit to this place and it was empty again. I guess that was my key to leave but we stayed. We waited a long time to be seated in a empty restaurant and we had poor service from the waitress. Also they charge for children under 2. Don't waste your time or money. There is an Old Country Buffet up the street on Cheltenham Avenue- go there, get your moneys worth and spend less!

Dear editor,
This is a soldier's flag and not the official flag of the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK's official flag is the stars and stripes. So why not direct (criticism) to the stars and stripes?
Leave the flag to fly over a soldier's monument and let a soldier rest in peace, for he fought for this nation, as did all who came before and after him.

Four mirrors are arranged to diverge outwardly away from the image on a television screen and have their reflective surfaces facing inwardly. The illusion of a solid object having a spherical, polyhedral or other three-dimensional shape is created having a surface of adjoining, multifaceted duplicates and reversed duplicates of the image on the screen.
1. A visual display apparatus comprising:
(a) a primary image display surface;
(b) means for varying the display on said surface; and
(c) an array of four mirrors diverging outwardly away from said display surface, each mirror intersecting its adjacent mirrors at a right angle and having its reflective side facing toward the other mirrors;
wherein an image is generated of an object having a surface composed of adjoining repetitions of the image of the primary display surface.
2. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein each of said mirrors are planar and each intersects said image display surface at substantially the same angle to provide an apparent image of a polyhedron or sphere.
3. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 2 wherein said display surface is planar and said display apparatus creates an image of a polygon each face repeating the image of said display surface.
4. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 2 wherein said display surface is a portion of a spherical surface and said mirrors are aligned substantially along radials of said spherical surface whereby said display apparatus creates an image of a sphere having segments of its surface repeating the image of said display surface.
5. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 4 wherein said display surface is the screen of a cathode ray tube and said display varying means comprises video means for generating time changing, moving images on said screen.
6. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 5 wherein computer image generating means is connected to said television means for generating said images.
7. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 5 wherein said mirrors comprise four symmetrically positioned substantially trapezoidally shaped mirrors.
8. A display apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein each of said mirrors is a front surface mirror.
9. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein a projection lense is positioned in front of said display surface for focusing an image of said object.
10. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein a one way mirror is positioned forwardly of said display surface with its reflective side facing said display surface.
11. A visual display apparatus comprising a plurality of visual display apparatuses in accordance with claim 2 having their image display surfaces arranged in a central, outwardly facing orientation with their arrays or mirrors disposed adjacent each other.
This invention relates generally to the creation and display of visual or graphical images having a unique appearance and more particularly relates to the creation of an illusion for purposes of architectural design, entertainment, education and attracting attention.
Historically, there have been a variety of visual displays for commercial, esthetic, entertainment and educational purposes. These vary from the simple two dimensional images of paintings and simple commercial signs through lighted and moving displays such as neon signs, flashing light boards and movies and cathode ray tube images such as used in television and computer displays to three dimensional displays such as sculptures and holograms. They display esthetically pleasing images, information and data and are used for amusement, for entertainment, for appealing to human curiosity, decoration and for transmitting information.
Mirrors have previously been used to create visual image displays. For example, multiple mirrors have been placed side by side in amusement houses or carnivals which create multiple images receding to infinity. Parallel mirrors have also been positioned at 60� angles with a variable image at their end to construct a kaleidoscope.
The present invention takes a simple, two-dimensional primary image, such as that displayed on a backlighted movie screen or a cathode ray tube display, and generates the illusion of a solid object with a spherical, polyhedral or other such three-dimensional shape having a surface of adjoining multifaceted duplicates and reversed duplicates of the primary image. Thus, for example, a display on a cathode ray tube is multiplied to appear as adjacent duplicate displays covering the surface of a sphere.
The visual display apparatus of the present invention has an array of mirrors which diverge outwardly away from a primary image display surface, each mirror intersecting its adjacent mirrors and having its reflective side facing toward the other mirrors to generate an image of an object having a surface composed of adjoining repetitions of the image of the primary display surface.
The illusion created is greatly enhanced and particularly striking when the primary image display surface is a portion of a spherical surface and the mirrors are aligned perpendicularly to each other and along radii of the spherical surface. The angle of the mirrors is precisely related to the compound curvature of the primary image screen in such a way as to create 13 images of primary graphic importance labelled a-m. The 12 very exterior images have high level importance because of the three dimensionality given to the sphere by these images which appear to continue as far as the eye can see around the sphere (FIG. 6). The contour and the surface pattern of the display surface is duplicated to create the image of a continuous surface which smoothly blends together the contour of the duplicate images, without contour discontinuities, so that it gives the esthetically pleasing appearance that the primary surface is extended to complete the sphere.
Preferably, the primary image is moving and changing so that the entire surface of the image of the sphere is reflecting that motion. Also preferably, the reflectivity coeficient of the mirrors is slightly less than that of the primary image screen (82%/75%) to create a proper shading of the sphere and enhance its three dimensionality.
Such a device has a variety of uses. It may, for example be used for entertainment in the form of video or arcade games, video music enhancement, entertainment or education, the display of images for esthetic purposes such as in interior decoration in an office reception room to gain and hold the curiosity and interest of visitors or as a display which will attract the attention of passersby such as at a store or at a trade show booth. The displays of the present invention may be computer or camera generated or created by combinations of the two and lends itself to both artisitic creativity and the display of information.
FIG. 1 is a front view in perspective of an embodiment of the invention showing the primary image display surface and the apparent reflected image.
FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of the structure of the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 and broken away from a wall surface.
FIG. 3 is a view in vertical section of the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the multiple image illusion obtained in the operation of an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a top, plan view of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 6 is a view in front elevation of the embodiment of FIG. 5.
In describing the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology will be resorted to for the sake of clarity. However, it is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected and it is to be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.
FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the construction of the preferred embodiment of the invention. The invention has a primary image display surface 10 which may, for example, be the screen of a cathode ray tube 12 but alternatively might be a backlighted movie screen or even a frontlighted movie screen. Preferably this screen is a compound curve being a section of a sphere. It includes a means 13 for varying the display preferably as a continually moving graphic display which is presented on the primary image display surface 10. This means 13 may include the cathode ray tube 12 and its associated electronic equipment for generating a display on the surface of the cathode ray tube 12 or alternately the means may include other equipment for generating a motion picture or other changeable or fixed primary image.
An array of mirrors 14 extends divergingly and outwardly away from the primary image display surface 10. In the preferred embodiment there are four mirrors 16, 18, 20 and 22. Each mirror has its reflective side facing centrally inwardly toward the other mirrors. The term "mirror" is used to refer to a reflective surface including those made of polished stainless steel, coated plastics and other mirror surfaces.
Preferably, the mirrors are four, generally trapezoidally shaped, symmetrical mirrors which are of identical shape and size. They lie in planes which perpendicularly intersect each other at their edges and all intersect the image display surface at the same angle. Most preferably the display surface, instead of being planar, is a portion of a spherical surface and the mirrors are aligned substantially along radii of the spherical surface. This causes the apparatus to create an image of a sphere having segments of its surface repeating the primary image.
The mirrors may be supported in a wooden frame 24 having vertical legs 26. Mounted within the frame 24 are a plurality of supporting, planar sheets 28 to which the mirrors themselves are adhered or otherwise supported. Construction means may vary and include metal or plastic fasteners.
Although the device may be a simple free standing display apparatus, advantageously it may be mounted behind a wall 30 provided with a suitable opening surrounded by an attractive frame 32 in the manner of a window or picture.
Referring now to FIG. 4, in an embodiment having the mirrors aligned along planes intersecting the center 34 of a spherically contoured primary image display surface, the eye sees not only the primary image but also sees primary reflected images 35A and 36B and secondary reflected images 36C and 35D. All these images appear to lie upon the surface of a sphere indicated generally as 38. The result of the reflections, which are diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 4, is the presentation of an illusion to a viewer's eye 40 that a sphere 38 exists in the position illustrated. The sphere appears multifacted, as also illustrated in FIG. 1, because the primary image is repeated in adjoining repetitions and each repetition is a facet which appears to lie on the surface of the sphere.
If the primary image surface is planar, then the apparatus creates the image of a polygon having each face repeating the image of the primary display surface. If the primary image surface is curved but the mirrors are not aligned along the radii of curvature then the apparent object will neither be spherical nor be a polygon with flat surfaces but will appear to be a polygon-like object with surfaces having adjoining repetitions of the primary surface curvature with the image of the primary surface upon them. If the primary image surface is rectangular an eliptical image may be formed or an irregularly faceted sphere.
The mirrors 14 are preferably all front surface mirrors so that they present only a single reflective surface. Conventional glass mirrors which are silvered on the back are reflective not only at their primary, mirrored surface at the back of the glass but also are somewhat reflective along their front surface. This creates a ghost or double image effect which is undesirable.
It is additionally desirable that the mirrors have a high reflectivity so that the images are not significantly attenuated from the multiple reflections which occur to provide some of the segment repetitions on the apparent spherical surface. It is additionally desirable that the edges 42 of the mirrors which abut the primary image surface 10 be chamfered and curved so that their mirrored surfaces will be immediately adjacent rather than spaced from the primary image surface 10. Any space between the primary image and the edge of the reflective surface produces a corresponding gap or line between the images on the surface of the apparent sphere 38.
Although a variety of equipment is available for generating primary images on a surface, a television system is preferred in which the images are generated by camera and television image generating means as well as computer systems for generating graphics. Combinations of these techniques are available and particularly useful for resourceful and creative persons.
There are a variety of alternative and enhancing modifications which can be made to the present invention.
For example, a one way reflecting mirror 44 may be positioned, as shown in phantom, at the forward end of the diverging array of mirrors 14 with its reflective side facing the primary display surface 10 so that it too will cause reflections of the apparent image, such as the sphere 38. Because of its one way reflecting characteristics a viewer can still view these images.
Additionally, a projection lense 46, illustrated in FIG. 4, may be utilized to project the apparent image onto a screen 48.
Although a single display apparatus as described above gives the illusion of a solid object, that solid object is only visible to a person looking into the array of mirrors 14. However, a plurality of such display units may be combined in the manner illustrated in FIG. 5 so that an individual may walk part way or completely around the combination of display apparatuses and view the sphere from multiple directions.
The embodiment of FIG. 5 consists of a plurality of visual display apparatuses of the type described above. Their primary image display surfaces, such as image display surfaces 60 and 62, are positioned centrally and arranged and oriented to face outwardly. The mirror array for each is disposed adjacent its neighbor so that they combine to form a circular arrangement of contiguous arrays as illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. With the use of cathode ray tubes, the identical image may be displayed on each primary image surface so that identical spheres are apparent from each viewing angle. Alternatively, different images may be used on each primary display surface but they may be coordinated so that the polygon image may appear to have different surface images on its different apparent surfaces.
Although the same type of mirror as used in the other illustrated embodiment can be used, alternatively double reflective surface mirrors can be used. As another alternative to the use of a different video screen for each primary image surface, a mirror and prism system can be used to display a single image on each primary display surface simultaneously.
While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described in detail, it will be understood that various modifications in details of construction and design may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the following claims.

It is somehow fitting that Republicans are holding this year's convention in Tampa, the city where the Chicago Cubs held their first spring training way back in 1913. Like the annual warm-ups, when minor leaguers vie for scarce and coveted spots in "the big show," speakers addressing the assembled delegates are competing to become major players in the next generation of the Republican Party.
But while baseball teams take years to turn over as veterans retire and rookies take their places, the metamorphosis of the Republican Party is happening almost before our eyes. The real attractions aren't party leaders John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and Mitt Romney (ages 62, 70, and 65, respectively). They are rising stars like Marco Rubio (age 41), Ted Cruz (41), and most notably, vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan (42).
In every Republican power center, the younger generation is already exerting its influence on the party's agenda, while putting the old guard under pressure. The younger generation wants to represent a clean break with the last Republican administration, which ended so badly it cost the party their House and Senate majorities.
"Look at the experience we had after the Contract With America and how we lost our way, frankly. We had good reforms coming through for a few years, and particularly in the early years of the Bush administration, 43, we lost that healthy tension between the executive and the legislature," said Keith Rothfus, a top Republican recruit running against Pennsylvania's Democratic Rep. Mark Critz. "I think partly it was the wartime thing, and unfortunately the Republican Party lost its way. I think what you're seeing is revival and renewal."
The rookies, in other words, are threatening to take the veterans' jobs. And the Romney-Ryan ticket, and the convention at which the two are being formally nominated, are evidence.
Republican activists have never been thrilled with Romney. Despite his massive financial lead, they auditioned virtually every other significant candidate during the GOP primary, vaulting Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann into the top tier over the course of 2011 before deciding each was an unsuitable alternative. They eventually settled on — or for — Romney as the only viable challenger to an incumbent. Even today, polling shows the majority of Romney's voters are casting ballots against President Obama rather than for Romney.
Those activists see Romney as a bridge between two generations of Republican leaders. He is certainly of the old school, the business wing of the party; he is certainly not a transformational figure in the mold of Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan. Instead, he is more in the mold of George H.W. Bush, an establishment figure who stands in as the party searches for another Reagan.
Ryan, on the other hand, fired up the activist base precisely because he is of that next generation, and because he has the potential to radically transform a "Party of No" into a party of serious policy.
The presidential ticket is far from the only venue in which a younger generation is moving into position to supersede an older one. The same thing is happening in the House, where Ryan, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and whip Kevin McCarthy, along with 89 freshmen and a growing conservative contingent, have been asserting their agenda. Boehner, the House speaker, has bent over backward to accomodate the sometimes rowdy freshmen, even when it has cost him the possibility of working out deals on major legislation with the White House.
A similar dynamic is unfolding in the Senate, where McConnell, the minority leader, has increasingly had to deal with a contingent on his right flank. That group began with Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn, and grew when Mike Lee, Rand Paul and Ron Johnson won election in 2010. The cantankerous caucus should grow again next year, if Cruz takes his seat in the Senate as expected. Other conservative hard-liners like Indiana's Richard Mourdock and Arizona's Jeff Flake could swell the ranks even further.
As the younger conservative caucuses grow in number and influence, the tipping point at which the older generation loses what remains of its grip on the party creeps closer. The convention in Tampa hints that the next time Republicans gather to pick a presidential nominee, the torch will have been passed.

Columbia Families in Nature (CFIN) provides free, fun, friendly opportunities for families to spend time together in nature. On two to three Sunday afternoons a month CFIN outings take place at natural areas in and around Columbia, Maryland. These outings emphasize play time in nature and also include hands-on environmental education and conservation activities.
By connecting families with nearby nature, the goals of CFIN are to: foster greater connection with nature and the community; increase environmental awareness and action; support the well-being of participants; and help strengthen family relationships.
"The family nature club outings help us get connected with the people of our community, but mostly it is the time that we set aside to enjoy the benefits of nature together as a family. A simple idea with definite results."

More examples from 'The League' in our 90 Day Basketball Improvement Plan…
Day 53 – Bouncing Back
What do you do when you have a bad game?
How about a bad practice?
Do you whine and complain?
Do you start to place blame on others?
Well no, of course not; you do like New York Knicks guard Toney Douglas and you bounce back.
The New York Daily News on Douglas and the Knicks win over the Wizards.
Against the Wizards, Douglas scored a game-high 23 points, including the game-winning free throws with 1.1 seconds left. Douglas made nine of 17 shots from the floor.
"I just keep shooting, I don't let it bother me," Douglas said. "It's the preseason. I'm confident enough to know I'll be in the gym working. If I miss five, I'll still take the next one."
This coming after Douglas had shot 0-5 from the field the previous game against the Celtics.

Fall 2014
The past academic year has been a watershed for the Center for Latin American & Latino Studies at AU. As we mark four years of operation, numerous scholarly initiatives are coming to fruition. We are especially proud of the growing portfolio of publications resulting from Center-sponsored work. Our Hemisphere in Flux project on regional dynamics in the Americas generated two significant special journal issues, published in Brazil and Argentina; the Religion and Violence initiative is resulting in an ambitious collaborative volume, to be published by prestigious presses in 2015 in both the U.S. and in Mexico; and our collaboration with CIEPLAN on challenges confronting Latin American economies has produced a manuscript that will be published in Chile during the fall. Meanwhile, the Center's Ford Foundation-funded work on Central American elites is resulting in five volumes that will be published in Costa Rica and Guatemala by the end of 2014, with plans in the works for an English language volume or two to be published by an academic press in the U.S., and our collaborative research with FLACSO-Costa Rica and FLACSO-El Salvador is yielding important findings on the linkages between social exclusion and urban violence. A study of Brazil's role in the international system has been accepted for publication by Palgrave-MacMillan, which also published our 2012 study of new institutions for participatory democracy in Latin America, a second edition of which will be released later this year. CLALS has since its inception been committed to generating research that will be circulated through top quality presses throughout the Americas, and we making good on that aspiration.
The Center has also launched a Working Paper Series that is available on the web and, in most instances, in hard copy form. We are gratified to see that those products, like our work circulated on the web through the AULA Blog, InSight Crime and Latin Pulse, are attracting a substantial and growing readership. We continue as well to share the results of our state-of-the-art research with stakeholders beyond academe. Studies of Latin voting behavior, police corruption in Central America, productivity and inclusion in Latin American economies, and the integration of Cuba into the OAS and the broader inter-American system have been the focus of well-attended public events on the AU campus, think tanks in Washington, UN headquarters in New York City and numerous capital cities in Latin America.
As a number of projects launched since the Center's inauguration in 2010 wind down, we have launched several new initiatives. Research on the structure of Latino gangs is well underway, and a new Luce Foundation-funded project, on Religion and Democratic Contestation in Latin America, held its first workshop last February. A dozen studies have been commissioned for that initiative, and preliminary versions of papers will be debated at a workshop at AU in November, around which we will also convene a series of public events. Activities focused on the impact of cultural industries on Latin American economies and on U.S. communities with substantial Latino populations are thriving, most recently through a workshop that CLALS organized for economic development agencies in Broward County, Florida. Meanwhile, studies of Latino entrepreneurs in the Washington DC metropolitan area and on the health of U.S. children of deportees are proceeding apace, and we are exploring possibilities for developing new investigations of the impacts of the Great Recession on Latino household savings and retirement prospects; the empowerment of LGBT communities in Colombia; conflict over extractive industries in Andean countries, and comparative analyses of efforts to enhance access to safe water supplies in vulnerable urban communities in Brazil and Washington DC. There is no shortage of pressing topics around which new knowledge is needed, and we aim to provide it through work and through strategic partnerships - both new and ongoing - with other organizations in the U.S. and abroad.
Fall 2013
The Center for Latin American and Latino Studies enjoyed a very productive summer. Three and a half years since our inauguration in 2010, the Center has consolidated a portfolio of innovative programs of funded research, and these are now beginning to have a clear impact in a variety of ways. I am pleased to report our receipt over the summer of grants and contracts totaling over $1.2 million that will enable us to launch new initiatives on top of roughly two dozen that are already well underway. These include investigations into economic ties between Asia and Latin America, the internal structure of Latino gangs, and linkages between social exclusion and violence in Central America. In each case, new funding will mobilize expertise from across the AU campus and beyond. And more is on the way, as we are optimistic about the prospects for several pending proposals for additional projects engaging themes of gender and sexuality, security, environmental change and the impact of Latin American culture industries.
Newly funded research supplements an array of ongoing projects addressing such questions as: religious agency in combatting violence; the changing roles of Central American elites; the dynamics of inter-American relations; the fortunes of Latino entrepreneurs; and the health effects of the mass deportation of Latino immigrants. These projects are now resulting in tangible products. During 2013 the Center will have completed manuscripts for seven edited volumes and one single-authored book, published multiple white papers and a special journal issue, and produced four documentary films. We look forward to sustaining this productivity throughout 2014.
Through effective use of the web and social media, our impact on public understanding of pressing contemporary issues continue to grow. The InSight Crime website is attracting over 100,000 views per month. Latin Pulse, our weekly podcast and radio show, is also reaching more than 100,000 listeners. Now carried by the Christian Science Monitor and La Prensa Gráfica, our AULA Blog -to which numerous AU faculty, Center staff and experts from throughout the Americas have contributed- is making waves in D.C. and beyond, with an average monthly viewership nearing 2,000. We now have around 4,000 Facebook followers. In addition to our free and searchable visual archive, we recently supported the launch of Election Passport, an on-line database supplying comprehensive election results from Latin America and the Caribbean.
A majority of our 78 faculty affiliates have taken prominent roles in one or more CLALS-sponsored projects. At the same time, the Center continues to host a growing roster of Research Fellows, with the current cohort hailing from Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua and Spain as well as numerous U.S. institutions. Their research has become integral to the Center's programming, as has that of AU graduate students supported through the Tinker Field Research Grant Program. As we work to bring Latin America and Latino affairs to the forefront of the intellectual and policy agenda, and to translate research into concrete results accessible to scholars and practitioners alike, we will continue to draw on expertise from across the AU community and beyond.
Spring 2013
The AU Center for Latin American and Latino Studies had a busy fall semester and a productive spring is well underway. As we approached the three-year point since our inauguration in 2010, we reached a milestone with publication of the first Center-sponsored scholarly volume, New Institutions of Participatory Democracy: Voice and Consequence, which was released simultaneously in English by Palgrave MacMillan and in Spanish by FLACSO-Mexico in November 2012. We expect an additional four books to emerge as a result of CLALS projects during 2013.
Our current research portfolio encompasses nearly two dozen projects, and planning is underway for new investigations of several important topics, including the health impacts of mass deportations of Latinos from the U.S.; the role of religious institutions in rights advocacy for U.S. Latinos; and mangrove conservation efforts undertaken by Afro-Ecuadoran communities. During the first two months of 2013 numerous grant proposals, seeking well over $1 million in support for these projects, were submitted to federal and private funding agencies. This builds on the Center's receipt of roughly $1 million in grants during the previous academic year.
Our efforts to incorporate innovative multimedia and social media into our research and dissemination activities are beginning to bear fruit. High-quality content continues to attract large audiences to InSight Crime, with over 100,000 views per month, and to our weekly podcast and radio show, Latin Pulse, with over 30,000 weekly listeners. The CLALS Facebook page is gaining visibility, with over 2,000 likes, and the AU Latin America blog is building a dedicated audience as it enters its second semester of provoking debate on U.S.-Latin America relations.
It is especially gratifying to report that more than half of our 75 affiliated faculty are playing leadership roles in CLALS-sponsored projects, and many others are involved in one or another of our activities. In addition, the Center's expansion continues to benefit from the efforts of a growing roster of Research Fellows, whose scholarly, journalistic and public policy expertise contribute to the production and dissemination of high quality and valuable knowledge. As CLALS continues to establish itself as a world-class research center that brings Latino affairs and the study of Latin America to the forefront of the intellectual agenda in the U.S. and beyond, we look forward to continued engagement from the communities of researchers and practitioners who are making this work happen.
We extend our best wishes for a productive spring semester.
Summer 2012
A number of important developments have taken place at CLALS in recent months, and will shape much of our work during the coming academic year. Several scholars and practitioners have joined us as Research Fellows, working on their own projects and shaping Center-sponsored initiatives funded extra-murally. An additional cohort of Fellows will come on board in August. To accommodate this welcome influx of talent, we have again expanded our space, incorporating an additional suite of offices at 4545 42nd Street, a block from the Tenleytown metro station.
The Center's growing success in attracting major grants from an array of different agencies is a second noteworthy advance. Thanks to diligent efforts of faculty and staff, a dozen awards received over the past year have generated more than $1 million in support of a variety of Center-sponsored programs that are generating new knowledge and circulating the findings of research in innovative ways.
This relates to a third aspect of our work: the diversification of channels for disseminating information. In addition to our use of social media – we recently ventured into the worlds of both Facebook and Twitter (@AU_CLALS) – the Center has launched a public affairs blog and is continuing to support Latin Pulse, a weekly radio show and podcast undertaken by AU's School of Communication (SOC) and Link TV. As evident in our increasingly robust website, we are also making greater use of video, again drawing on the talents of our colleagues in SOC.
During the coming year we will continue to expand the Fellows program, our portfolio of funded research and our use of diverse media. I am confident that we will also formalize evolving partnerships with other organizations, including universities, governments and advocacy organizations. In so doing, we aim to contribute meaningfully to AU's institution-wide efforts to raise the profile of what we do beyond the boundaries of the campus, to bring cutting-edge ideas from outside AU into our classrooms and research units, and to see our work have a growing impact on the broader world around us. Contemporary societies have much to gain from deeper understanding of Latino experiences and of Latin America, and with your continued support CLALS will play an ever more important role in supplying this valuable knowledge.
Fall 2011
On the heels of a very productive summer, CLALS is poised to advance an array of projects during the coming academic year. In September, the Center will launch a two-year program of research and publications on elites and political power in Central America. This program is supported by a generous grant from the Ford Foundation, and will engage scholars throughout the region. We will also inaugurate the research project "Hemisphere in Flux" with a major conference at AU in October. Exploring the shifting contours of international relations in the Americas, the project is a collaboration with a consortium of Brazilian universities and the Buenos Aires-based Coordinadora Regional de Investigaciones Económicas y Sociales (CRIES).
Additionally, we are excited about several new initiatives that are currently under development, and for which we hope to secure funding this academic year. These include studies of environmental law and regulation in extractive industries, the impact of countercyclical economic policies on Latin America's experience of the global financial crisis, and religious institutions and violence under dictatorship and democracy.
The Center's ambitious efforts focused on concerns of Latinos in the United States have been especially productive. Within the Washington, D.C. region, our ongoing partnership with CentroNia, the Columbia Heights-based charter school and social service organization, is generating valuable insights into the nature and impact of after-school programs that target Latino youth. Similarly, together with the Latino Economic Development Council we are designing a project that will aim to better understand the time horizons that shape how Latino immigrant entrepreneurs conduct their businesses. Also, working with staff at Nueva Vida, a health services provider, we are planning to assess the efficacy of different strategies for motivating Latina women to seek breast cancer screening.
While much of our work in Latino Studies is focused on the local metropolitan area, we are engaging national level institutions as well, for example through an upcoming workshop, co-sponsored with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), devoted to exploring how emerging currents of research on discrimination might inform strategies for reducing discrimination against Latinos.
Although the Center is still just over 18 months old, we are pleased that scholars from around the world are increasingly seeking to join us as they carry out research in Washington. During the coming semester we will host doctoral and faculty fellows from Brazil, Canada and the U.S., investigating topics such as Latino identities, climate change policy and organized crime. We expect to welcome additional fellows beginning soon after the new year.
Most of what CLALS does will continue to take place on the main AU campus, but we have just moved to new quarters, a newly renovated suite of offices on 42nd Street, conveniently located by the Tenleytown Metro stop. Our phones, fax and mailing address remain unchanged, as is our core mission of advancing the frontiers of research in Latin American and Latino Studies, and connecting the findings of our work to users of knowledge from a wide range of institutions and walks of life.
Summer 2011
The spring semester of 2011 is well underway, and CLALS is as busy as ever. We have convened workshops on contemporary political, economic and security issues in Mexico, on basic needs provision in Cuba, and on organized crime in the Americas, and we will host leading experts from throughout the Hemisphere at an April planning meeting for a project with the Washington College of Law focused on environmental law and regulation in Latin America. Each of these events exhibits our commitment to bringing state of the art research to AU, and to engaging our faculty and students in cutting edge debates about Latin America.
The Center has partnered with the School of Education, Teaching and Health to launch an ambitious research project measuring the quality and impact of after-school programs serving Latino kids in Washington, DC, and we have begun an initiative with the School of Communication to develop a series of multi-media documentaries on the challenges facing Latino populations in distinct settings across the U.S. Caribbean issues have also been at the forefront of our work in recent months: a Center-sponsored report on challenges for reconstruction in Haiti was recently released, and we are looking forward to a panel discussion on Cuban cinema.
We are also preparing to evaluate proposals in the first Tinker Field Research Grants competition that will support graduate student research in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition, we are working with the Kogod School of Business to launch research on Latino enterprises and, in collaboration with a consortium of Brazilian universities and with NGOs from across the Hemisphere, we are developing a research project on the shifting contours of foreign policies throughout the Americas. That initiative has already begun to engage diplomatic missions of several countries, and promises to impact debates in academe and beyond.
Meanwhile, the roster of Center affiliates continues to expand, with more than 70 AU faculty and research staff now involved in our work. That number will grow during the coming year, as we welcome at least three new members of the faculty who have been hired to work in Latin American and Latino Studies, as well as a fresh cohort of visiting fellows. As we prepare to close the Latin American and Latino Studies exhibit at the Bender library, we are confirming details of a major photography exhibition at the Katzen Arts Center, featuring remarkable work on Puerto Rico by the acclaimed photographer Louise Rokham.
One indicator of the dynamism of an academic unit is the career trajectory of the students and junior staff who work within it. In that regard, I am delighted that two of our M.A. students working as graduate assistants—Catalina Esguerra and Mathias Poertner--have accepted offers for five years of full funding to carry on their studies at top ten doctoral programs, and that another member of our staff is weighing similar offers. We now have eight graduate students working in the Center, and I am confident that this number will expand over the course of 2011. These promising young intellectuals are critical in advancing our work, and I am committed to increasing both their numbers and their substantive roles during the coming academic year.
We remain eager to involve students, faculty and stakeholders from throughout Washington and beyond in our efforts to advance Latin American and Latino Studies here and elsewhere. Your ideas and engagement are as welcome as ever, and I hope that you will share advice as we continue to build the program at AU.
Spring 2011
The AU Center for Latin American and Latino Studies enters its second semester having accomplished a lot, but with much work ahead of us. CLALS has launched a dozen or so projects, organized around five thematic clusters, and a similar number of initiatives are in the works. These are evolving in partnership with Schools and Colleges across the University, as well as with individuals and institutions beyond AU. What unites these disparate efforts is a common commitment to generating new knowledge and deploying that knowledge to address challenges faced by Latino communities in the United States and by societies throughout Latin America. Exploration of our website will introduce visitors to the range of issues that we are addressing, and to the sorts of activities that we hope to carry out during the months and years to come.
We are developing ideas, and building relationships that I am confident will endure over time. This is an exciting moment for the Center, and for the University. AU faculty, staff and students decided through a planning process that spanned 2008 and 2009 that we wanted to bring this about, and it is now happening: Latino Studies and Latin American Studies have a significant and institutionalized presence at this University, and we are reaching out beyond the boundaries of the campus to ensure that our work has impact.
Aside from the workshop on Latina/o politics that took place at AU at the end of September, with participation of leading experts from throughout the country, we are sponsoring nearly a dozen lectures, films and other events over the course of the fall semester. We also look forward to the research workshop on participation and representation in Latin America, to be held in December at the Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires, and to plenary meetings with faculty, graduate students and alumni over the course of the next few months. During the spring semester of 2011 we will host a number of activities related to contemporary Cuba, as well as a plethora of events devoted to Latino and Latin American Studies debates. At the same time, we are working with the Department of Language and Foreign Studies to highlight the potential of their MA program in Latin American Studies, and to get the word out to prospective students regarding what AU has to offer.
As we continue to generate new work and highlight the dynamism of activities already in place at the University, we encourage you to consult our website, sign on to our electronic mail list, and contact us to propose ways in which we can advance research on Latin America and on Latino communities throughout the United States. Our endeavor is both collective and collaborative, and we remain eager to recruit new partners as we strive to fulfill our potential.
Fall 2010
The Center for Latin American and Latino Studies (CLALS) at American University was established in January 2010 to promote cutting-edge research, innovative teaching and productive outreach activities designed to enrich understanding of Latin America and of Latino communities in the United States. The new Center will supply state of the art expertise on a wide range of topics, and aspires to set the standard for a dynamic University-based program equipped to grapple with the challenges of the 21st century. Drawing on expertise of faculty, students and staff at AU, as well as from other institutions in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and beyond, our programs will encompass the study of cultural, economic, political and social affairs, as well as pressing themes of health, education and environment. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with stakeholders both on campus and off, and we encourage visitors to our website to participate in our expanding portfolio of activities.

Re: Travis Barker
i agree with what you wrote totally. i just want to hold some people up on the fact that travis can be someones favorite drummer, even though you know the fact hes not the best, and you dont claim he is, but you still choose him as a fav b/c he is what you looked up to when you started, which is the case for me b/c i like his style alot, his chops are pretty good, and hes creative for his genre. maybe its just me and im reading posts wrong, but people seem to be posting some what (not straigt up insulting) demening posts. im hating the word "kids" to discribe fans of barker (which im not a kid but a big fan of barker).. while many fans are kids, the conotation attacthed to the word seems degrading. im not tring to strike up a frenzy of defending posts but just a warning that some people, besides me, im sure are interpreting your posts that way...again maybe its just that i have an aversion to the word but.... yea...

Centrelink payments can be a bit of a controversial topic and benefit with some people looking down on those who are receiving Centrelink Payments with the commonly used term "dole bludgers". But for those who are in genuine need, Centrelink Payments can be a fortnightly God send!
"What ever the reason some one is being paid Centrelink Payments…"
Like all things, there are going to be those who abuse certain privileges which is unfortunate but Centrelink Payments are entitled to those who have been made redundant, lost their employment or for those who have left their jobs, but in the later case, there is a certain term one must wait until they are able to obtain Centrelink Payments.
A common question for many on Centrelink payments is if there is such a thing as credit cards centrelink to which the short answer to that is "no", however Centrelink does offer some types of cash advance facilities and other varied assistance with such things like Centrelink debt assistance and money assistance for studying.
However, Centrelink does offer a number of centrelink personal loans such as:
• Advance centrelink payments for pensioners, which can assist with overdue expenses.
• Austudy centrelink loan for students (*note: which is not a cash advance)
• Student financial supplement scheme loans – which are unfortunately no longer available.
If you are still paying off an existing loan, please be aware of the repayment structure and that there will of course be interest on the existing loan.
"someone is being paid Centrelink Payments…"
What ever the reason someone is being paid Centrelink Payments, Centrelink pays them on a fortnightly basis and because of what is mentioned above, Centrelink requests a log book to be filled out of what job interviews that person who is receiving Centrelink Payments to prove they are genuinely looking for employment.
"centrelink payments forever!…"
However, there are many people who feel their efforts are somewhat "relaxed" for lack of better terminology. But for those who are more ambitious, yet are feeling like they are fighting an up hill battle trying to get another job, why don't you give running your own business a try and get out of the 9 – 5 rat race? You could possibly say goodbye to family assistance payout and centrelink payments forever!

Dining Guide: Sports pubs prep for football, hockey seasonWritten by Amy Biolchini | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Beer, food and TVs: Sports bars know exactly how to draw crowds in for football and hockey season. With the NFL season starting Sept. 9 and Walleye Hockey beginning the second week of October, pubs in Toledo have a busy schedule ahead of them.
For Toledo Players Sports Bar on Jefferson Avenue, which opened March 4, this is its first football and hockey season. Elicka Zieroff, owner of Players, can't wait.
"Once the Downtown closes, it seems like it's dead, at least Monday through Thursday," Zieroff said. "With the Huntington Center across the street, I can't wait for the sports arena to start up."
Players will offer bucket specials and $2 domestic bottles during Walleye game nights. The first week of September Players will offer buy-one-get-one starters, Zieroff said.
Zieroff said she has been paying attention to the NFL Sunday Ticket to anticipate the big games. Jim Manley, marketing director for Fricker's USA, also mentioned this tactic. Fricker's is celebrating its 25th year of business.
"We've got the NFL Sunday Ticket — there are no blackouts. We're able to carry every game," Manley said.
With a minimum of 20 TVs in each restaurant, Fricker's has invested a lot of money in its hardware. Manley said several Fricker's locations recently upgraded its TVs, using a starting budget of $300,000.
"Football is extraordinarily popular in our stores with all of the TVs," Manley said. "We are the place for football."
In addition to making sure Fricker's shows professional and college games, Fricker's offers a different food special every day, according to Manley. Fricker's has three locations in Toledo.
"We've worked very, very hard to keep our bottom line low. With back to school time, people don't have the monetary ends to pay high prices," Manley said. "Maumee has had dollar domestic beer for years."
Parkway Sports Bar in Maumee is gearing up for the football crowd with new daily deals on beer and food. Specials include dollar margaritas on taco nights, pitcher discounts and $10 steak dinners on Thursdays, according to General Manager Zee Lewis.
"This is definitely a football bar," Lewis said. "The previous owner's son played for OSU, Dane Sanzenbacher. So there are a lot of big Ohio State fans in this place."
Besides a loyal Ohio State fan base, Parkway has a strong Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns following.
"We usually have a lot of the same customers, but a lot of new people come in once they get to know the specials," Lewis said.
Parkway has a big screen TV, as well as six other TVs throughout the bar. Its biggest event of the year is the OSU-Michigan game, when it has a large buffet potluck of hot dogs and hamburgers, Lewis said.

Air Force Heads to MWC Swimming & Diving Championships
Feb. 22, 2010
The Air Force men's and women's swimming and diving teams travel to Oklahoma City, Okla., this week, Feb. 24-27, for the 2010 Mountain West Conference Championships.
Scouting the Falcon Men...
Senior Sean O'Keefe is the second-fastest in the MWC in the 500 free, 1000 free and 1650 free, while holding the fifth-fastest mark in the 200 free. Sophomore Corydon Butler ranks third in both the 500 and 1650 freestyle events, while freshman Jon Jones is third in the 200 free. Junior Josh Hammervold ranks among the top five in three different events, the 200 IM (third), 200 breast (fourth) and 100 breast (fifth), while also ranking among the league's top five are freshman Mark Hansen in the 400 IM (third) and junior Eric Robinson in the 200 fly (fifth).
For the divers, senior Kyle Van Valkenburg is ranked second in the MWC on the platform and is tied for fifth on the 1-meter board, while senior David Arlington and sophomore Cheyne Clark rank third and fifth in the league, respectively, on the platform.
The Falcons return a total of five individual all-conference performers from the 2009 season, including a pair of MWC champions (Van Valkenburg, platform; Gunn, 200 IM). Gunn also received all-conference accolades in the 100 butterfly, 200 butterfly and as a member of the 400 free, 800 free and 400 medley relays, while Van Valkenburg was an All-MWC honoree on the 3-meter board. Other all-conference performers include O'Keefe (200 free, 500 free, 1650 free, 400 free relay, 800 free relay), Tom Hansen (500 free, 200 back, 800 free relay) and Arlington (1-meter). Meanwhile, Robert Dawson (400 free relay, 200 medley relay, 400 medley relay), Chris Morin (400 free relay) and Robinson (800 free relay) swam on All-MWC relays for the Falcons.
Scouting the Falcon Women...
Meanwhile, three women's swimmers rank in the top 25 in the Mountain West Conference in their respective events, led by freshman Katrina Castellanos, who is 20th in the 200 breaststroke. Freshman Rachel Roberts is ranked 23rd in the 1650 free, while sophomore Cassie Fletcher holds the league's 24th-fastest time in the 100 free.
Last Year at the MWC Championships...
On the women's side, Air Force placed ninth overall, led by all-conference performers Jane Hwang and Chelsea Tompkins. Hwang, a senior who set three individual school records (100 free, 200 free, 200 IM) and anchored the school record-setting 400 freestyle relay team, earned All-MWC recognition in both the 100 and 200 freestyle events for the second-straight year. Meanwhile, Tompkins placed sixth in the platform dive to earn all-conference honors for the first time in her career.

storage server
Last week we expanded our enterprise storage coverage with flash arrays and today the coverage continues with Tegile's announcement of the T3600 and T3700. To bring everyone up to the speed, let's start with a brief introduction of the company. Tegile was founded in 2009 by Rohit Kshetrapal, Rajesh Nair, Justin Cheen and Alok Agrawal and operated in stealth mode until 2012. The founders share a history at Perfigo, which was a developer of packaged network access control solutions that was acquired by Cisco in 2004. As a result Tegile's expertise lies in the networking and connectivity aspect of the array, and hence Tegile provides both hybrid and all-flash arrays. SanDisk and Western Digital (i.e. HGST) are strategic investors in the company, which guarantees Tegile...

Call for PapersSymbolic computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects (terms, formulae, programs, algebraic objects, geometrical objects, etc). Powerful symbolic algorithms have been developed during the past decades and have played an influential role in theorem proving, automated reasoning, software verification, model checking, rewriting, formalisation of mathematics, network security, Groebner bases, characteristic sets, etc.
The international Symposium on "Symbolic Computation in Software Science" is the fourth in the SCSS workshop series. SCSS 2008 and 2010took place at the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC), Hagenberg, Austria, and, SCSS 2009 took place in Gammarth, Tunisia. These symposium grew out of internal workshops that bring together researchers from
These workshops have been successful and in this new edition, we would like to extend the range of symbolic computation methods in their applications. In this symposium, we solicit papers on all aspects of symbolic computations and their applications. The topics of the symposium include, but are not limited to the following:
SOFTWARE DEMO SCSS 2012 will provide an opportunity for developers of software related to symbolic computation, to promote their software systems. SCSS 2012 will have a special session for software systems descriptions where authors can present their projects and demonstrate their software. Submission in this category of software demo should have a link to project pages and ideally a downloadable software.
Paper submission Submissions for full papers must not exceed 10 pages (in font 10 or higher), with up to 5 additional pages for references and technical appendices. Shorter papers, associated with system descriptions are welcome. The paper's main results must not be published or submitted for publication in refereed venues, including journals and other scientific meetings. It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at the meeting by one of its authors.
Papers will be reviewed and evaluated with respect to relevance, clarity, quality, originality, and impact. Proposed contributions should be in English, and consist of a scholarly exposition accessible to the non-specialist, including motivation, background, and comparison with related works. All papers should be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the requirements of Springer's LNCS series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers must be submitted electronically at the relevant area for SCSS12 on easyChair.
A title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by August 23, and the full paper by August 30 (firm date). Notifications are expected by October 30, and final papers for the proceedings will be due by November 30 (firm date).

I´m a guitar player from Argentina and I´m going to Toronto on vacation from 8/13 through 8/23. I´d really love to play there at that time. I play alone and my repertoire includes some jazz, tango and argentine folklore. You can listen to me at www.myspace.com/rickywolanski
Here is my bio.
Ricky Wolanski

At age 16 he goes to a concert of the great british classical guitar player Julian Bream and he decides to begin studying classical music. At the same time he meets Guillermo Arrom who leads him into jazz world studying Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, etc.
He graduated with honors at the National Conservatory of Music with a Guitar Teacher major in 1987 and at the National Universitary Institute of Arts with a Universitary Teacher in Arts in 2002. He took private guitar (classical and electric) and composition lessons with some of the best local teachers and with some important visitors such as Pat Metheny, Gary Barton, Pat Brown, Miguel Angel Girollet, etc.
He played as a solo classical guitar player for some important official institutions in places like the National Conservatory of Music, San Martín Cultural Center, Ramos Mejía Conservatory, Argentine Library for the blind, etc. Several compositions of his own where first played at the San Martín Cultural Center. Since 1981 he plays in rock, jazz and fusion bands. He played sessions with several artists such as Marcelo Di Campli, Project, Los Primos del Trópico, Daniel Bazán Lazarte, etc. Nowadays he is playing with the funk-jazz-noise band Virgen A Go Go, with his own jazz quartet and as a solo jazz player.
Since 1982 he has a strong relationship with teaching. He is now a guitar teacher at the Alberto Ginastera Conservatory where he also teaches Harmony for the Guitar. He formerly teached Music History and Music Appreciation and was an Area Chief. He works as an arranger, MIDI programmer, recording engineer, sound reinforcement engineer and private guitar teacher. He has edited a CD of his own called "Al fin" with great guest musicians such as Marcela Pietrokovsky (from Musica Ficta), Leandro Bulacio (from Vicentico, David Lebón, etc.), Facundo Ferreyra (from Celia Cruz, Soledad, Natalia Oreiro, Memphis la Blusera, etc.) and others. He is now preparing a solo guitar CD. He is also the sound engineer for the National Symphonic Orchestra.

Delicious food, great music and overall superb ambience. I've been here several times and never disappointed! Definitely try out the bruschetta and the blackened chicken.
Went here this past Saturday for the first time and really loved it. Not crazy crowded or loud, great service and fuss free location. Looking forward to returning soon and trying their food.
