Our C-Pulse System targets Class III and ambulatory Class IV patients as defined by the NYHA. It is estimated that approximately 1.5 million heart failure patients in the United States fall into this classification range, and we believe approximately 3.7 million patients in Europe are similarly affected. In addition to the symptoms described above, patients with Class III and ambulatory Class IV heart failure typically experience dizziness, low blood pressure and fluid retention.
Treatment alternatives currently available for Class III heart failure patients in the United States consist primarily of pharmacological therapies and pacing devices that are designed to address heart rhythm issues. Although these treatments may provide symptomatic relief and prolong the life of patients, they do not often halt the progression of congestive heart failure. Circulatory assist devices, specifically left ventricular assist devices, or LVADs, have been used to treat Class IV patients in the United States, and one product received FDA approval in the United States for Class IIIb patients although the device is not reimbursed by CMS for Class IIIb patients. These devices are designed to take over some or all of the pumping function of the heart by mechanically pumping blood into the aorta. Although such products are effective in increasing blood flow, these devices are implanted in the patient's body and by design are in contact with the patient's bloodstream, increasing the risk of adverse events, including thrombosis, bleeding and neurologic events. The FDA recently rejected a proposed clinical trial that would evaluate the safety and performance of an LVAD technology for Class III heart failure patients because they did not believe the technology risks outweighed the potential rewards for these patients.
Our Strategy
Our goal is to become a market leader in the treatment of heart failure patients through the commercialization of our C-Pulse System, and to continue the development of the system to make it safer and more convenient for patients and physicians. We believe that our technology will provide us with a competitive advantage in the market for treating specific segments of heart failure patients. To achieve our objectives, we intend to:
Table of Contents
· Conduct a Pivotal Trial in the United States— We completed enrollment of the North American feasibility clinical trial in the first half of 2011. In November 2011, we obtained the preliminary results of the six-month follow-up period for our North American feasibility clinical trial. In March 2012, the FDA notified us that it completed its review of the C-Pulse System feasibility trial data, concluded we met the applicable agency requirements, and indicated that we can move forward with an IDE application. In November 2012, the FDA provided us with unconditional approval to initiate a pivotal trial. We currently anticipate that enrollment of our pivotal trial will begin during the first half of 2013. We expect to complete enrollment of our pivotal trial by the end of 2015.
· Conduct Post-Market Trial in Europe to Support Reimbursement of the C-Pulse System —We have retained consultants to analyze the conditions in various European countries for potential reimbursement for our system and the capabilities of existing hospitals and clinics to implant the C-Pulse System properly and understand the potential benefits of our system. We are targeting the leading LVAD/transplant centers to gain support, promote our technology, and conduct a non-randomized post-market trial that will evaluate endpoints similar to those for our U.S. pivotal trial to aid our reimbursement efforts and gain additional clinical data. We expect to be able to complete this trial in 2014 in our initial target markets.
· Prepare for the Commercial Launch of the C-Pulse System in Europe—We obtained CE Mark approval for the C-Pulse System in July 2012 and have taken initial steps to evaluate the market potential for our system in targeted countries in Europe in anticipation of commencing commercial sales. We initially plan to sell the C-Pulse System in Europe through experienced distributors in countries where our system is approved for reimbursement or where we otherwise believe there might be a potentially profitable market for our system. We expect our initial sales efforts in Europe will focus on Germany and Italy, which we believe are the largest potential markets for the C-Pulse System in Europe and have supported reimbursement for heart failure technologies in the past.
· Continue to Enhance the C-Pulse System—We believe it will be important to continue refining the C-Pulse System to make it more appealing for both patients and physicians. Since completing our 20 patient North American feasibility trial, we have made several improvements to the C-Pulse System based on the feasibility trial outcomes and feedback we received from surgeons and patients during the trial. These changes include enhancements to our driver, cuff, Percutaneous Interface Leads, or PIL, and our C-Patch, among others. We have also completed an initial animal study of a next-generation, fully-implantable C-Pulse System, which would eliminate the risk of exit-site infections.

MON's deadline deal delight
by Stuart Vose
Boss aiming to lighten load on Fletcher.
Martin O'Neill has spoken of his delight at securing the signature of Danny Graham.
The Sunderland boss made a deadline-day swoop to snare the striker, with the Black Cats paying Swansea a £5m fee to acquire his services.
Graham finished as City top scorer with 14 goals last season and added a further seven under Michael Laudrup during the current campaign.
I think Danny can fit in and score a few goals for us
- Martin O'Neill
"Danny will work hard for the team and did very well at Swansea, where he had a good season last year," O'Neill told safc.com.
"We're delighted to have Danny and I genuinely think he'll do well for us. He has a real desire to do well.
"I saw him from afar last season when he played very well in a system which seemed to suit him."
O'Neill targeted a striker as a priority and says his new signing has a vital role to play in taking the scoring load off 10-goal leading marksman Steven Fletcher.
"I think Danny can fit in and score a few goals for us," he said.
"We want to be less reliant on Steven Fletcher scoring the goals. I think Danny will alleviate the load; that's my expectation and I think he feels the same."
And O'Neill has dropped a hint that Fletcher and Graham may combine, although the Sunderland chief was keeping his cards close to his chest.
"I've got a fairly decent idea in my head about how we'll use Danny," he revealed.
"As the players get to know him and he gets to know them, there'll be a number of formations we'll be able to use."

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 759 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Luisa6743 Review Liberty Hotel I would not return. Way too noisy, more a bar/club than a hotel, cannot recommend it to any business traveller that is working long hours. Service needs serious improvement, they lost my laundry and I had to run after them for 2 days. Gym below exptectations, very small and old machinery. December 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by OldJoe Very nice but TOO crowded Hotel is very nice and in a good location, convenient to the subway and downtown sights. They have done a great job of preserving and using the elements of the old Jail. We even bumped into an old inmate who was visiting for first time since renovation who gave us an interesting history lesson. However, if you want a quiet place to stay, this is not it! We stayed 5 nights; 4 of them were so slammed with people partying in the lobby area that you had to fight your way through. If you want to enjoy a nice quiet drink in the evening or a nice quite dinner, this is not the place. They don't have separate party areas so all the "public" areas are "over-the-top public." Seems to be the place to be in Boston for the "in-crowd." December 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by LJ1123 Beds need to be more comfortable I had higher expectations for comfort since this was a higher level spg hotel. December 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by meaxling Great hotel, great location The Liberty is a great hotel with a great location. The location is great. It is easy to get to when driving there and once you are there you are in Beacon Hill, a wonderful neighborhood. The rooms are comfortable, modern, well appointed and clean. December 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by muskokagal Amazing Staff, Glamourous Hotel We had a sad reason for being at the hotel: our son was in the ICU at Mass General Hospital next door. However, the Liberty Hotel was a lovely place to find respite from the long days. Although we weren't in the party mood, there was a seriously fun vibe happening in the lobby, which also happens to be the hub of the dining options. There is a great mixture of local people and hotel guests, all enjoying the atmosphere. There is champagne freely flowing at the reception desk and I must admit I took up a couple of glasses to our room to celebrate our son's discharge from the hospital. We stayed in one of the tower rooms, which was very quiet for a hotel next to a hospital. The bed, sheets, and the whole room have an air of understated luxury. I ordered a burger and fries from room service one night, the meal came in lightning speed and was delicious. I can't speak about the restaurants because we were too busy at the hospital to avail ourselves, but they all looked full and vibrant. The Liberty Hotel is in a perfect location to walk anywhere in Boston, particularly Beacon Hill and Faneuil Hall area. I would highly recommend this hotel, you will not be disappointed. Special shout out to K at the front desk for his kindness. December 3, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by LSFT Cleaniness was a BIG problem This hotel is modern, trendy, and comfortable... Unfortunately I had an unacceptable experience with cleanliness in the bathroom (specifically the bath tub). I never would expect this issue from a luxury Starwood hotel. Hopefully it was an outlier, but I can't give shoddy cleaning a good rating. November 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by maggie146 disappointed stay The accoustics in the rooms (2 different stays) are limited and the noise on both our stays woke us up. Several staff we encountered were arrogant. Rooms were clean, hotel has an interesting theme but too many basic negatives. November 28, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jen343 Hotel was nice, but I don't think we'll be back. The Hotel and staff were really nice and accomodating. Our room was nice, but average. The carpet was very wet in multiple areas from being washed. I had to keep jumping around not to get my feet wet. In the middle of the night we were awakend by the bathroom whose plumbing decided to go haywire at 2am. After 20 mins or so the toilet stopped gurling and the tub stopped making noise, but at that point we were awake. Not sure this was the relaxing evening we had in mind. For the money, I expected more. November 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TM060449 Excellent Location and Fantastic Hotel Environment The Liberty Hotel is a unique experience. It is located strategically in the heart of Boston with direct access to Cambridge, Beacon Hill and the South End. The environment in the hotel is very warm and friendly. The staff is excellent and very responsive to any inquiries and requests. The environment is dynamic with many friendly faces throughout the public areas all day and night. The rooms are totally soundproof and enable one to get a great night's rest. The Liberty Hotel is the place to stay in downtown Boston. November 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BnCne Luxury Hotel This hotel was luxury from check in to check out. Everything from being accomodated for an early check in to a short lesson from the doorman over taxis in Boston while we waited for our ride to the train station at 4:45 am. Beautiful hotel and beautiful views of the surrounding area! November 27, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by ceh555 My stay at your hotel I am a SPG platinum and on an MIT board so I stay at your hotel because it is close to MIT and the rooms are excellent. The issue is the customer service is deplorable. The people at the front desk make promises and do not follow thru. On my recent stay last week, the front desk was to move me to another room. I returned to the hotel at 8pm that night and had the same room. To make matters worse, my room had not been cleaned. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me during a stay at your hotel. I will not stay again. November 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JamesNC Liberty Good Hotel in Great location. Nice rooms. Only complaint was there was some hairball in the shower and our room view looked at the side of a building. Despite this, service was excellent and the location can't be beat. I would stay there again. November 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SallyP Not just a another hotel If you are looking for something a little different in Boston this is rather unique being a former jail but comes with all the qualities one expects of a luxury collection hotel. November 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Feather Fun experience Really unique hotel!! This was our 4th stay. We are always amused by the night life scene in the Lobby. There was a bouncer at the entrance to the Hotel. When we got back from a Concert he checked us us to be sure we were worthy to enter! A little intense for a Hotel guest, but understandable since there were hundreds of drinking people milling about. The dining serving staff is a little uninformed and not too willing to ask the chef about the menu regarding specific allergens and ingredients, that was surprising that I had to insist!

Everythink about the hotel is top knotch from the staff to the rooms to the food. i can only thank you for making my wife's celebration a huge success. November 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JBoat Halloween Bash Ended up staying at the Liberty on the weekend prior to Halloween to attend their Halloween Bash. The design of the hotel is perfect for these huge parties (I've been to their New Years Eve bash two years in a row and it's a not too miss event). I actually started up the street at another party, but booked a room as soon as I remembered that the Liberty was having their event the same night. The rooms are always immaculate and comfortable, and the Molton Brown bath products are fantastic. I stayed in the re-imagined prison portion of the hotel, which has possibly the best soundproofing ever. With hundreds of guests in the lobby and a different DJ on every floor, I could barely hear a thing in the room. I always make it a point to stay at the Liberty when in Boston, and they have always hit it out of the park. November 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pcle Fun, relaxing and romantic stay This was my first stay at The Liberty Hotel and it was very impressive. The hotel maintains a good balance between serene during the day and vibrant in their lobby, bars and restaurants at night. The rooms are quiet, clean and designed and decorated to feel spacious. The hotel staff was very welcoming and accommodating, but also discreet and professional. I would recommend to family and definitely return again. November 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael62 Great Buzz The hotel had a great deal of energy to it. Staff very friendly and attentive. Rooms were nicely appointed. Bathroom was spacious. Nice meal in the restaurant. Only downside was "Business Center." Printers would not work. November 6, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Help in the storm We lost power in Hurricane Sandy and after two days, needed an alternative place to stay. I work in downtown Boston and found the LIberty could accomodate me and my 65 pound lab. Not only did they help me structure my reservation so I wouldn't get penalized if I regained power, but they greeted my pup like a proper guest with treats and affection. By the second night, he never wanted to leave! November 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by msmcwil Liberty Hotel TV/Video service is Unacceptable I stayed two nights during Hurricane Sandy. TV satellite service out the whole time. Further, the movie DVD service kicked off 6 times, and I could never watch the movie. I don't accept the satellite/bad weather excuse. Replace with cable or something else. A luxury hotel, w/o TV service is unacceptable. November 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by mtdt would stay here again Hotel is trendy and hip. Parking valets are friendly and helpful. Upon check-in I was never offered the Champagne welcome although I saw the bottles sitting there. Restaurant Clink was disappointing. Portions very small and wait staff not very attentive. I will stay here again while in Boston although I will try the other restaurant. And if I am not offered my champagne I will ask why this time. November 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GMCALJO Perfect shelter from Hurricane Sandy we were stranded in Boston due to hurricane. The staff accommodated our every need, upgraded our room without request, kept abreast of airport conditions, arranged transportation to and from airport, made us feel not only safe from the storm, but welcome and at home.

Rated 4 out of 5 by cazman85 My favorite place to Stay in Boston The Liberty remains a favorite in downtown Boston, despite inconsistencies now that the hotel is part of Starwood system October 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nisky1 Liberty Hotel good for a Business meeting? Absolutly yes. Food was awesome (really awesome), the facilities were everything we needed, staff attentive, rooms were great and the charm of this hotel as it maintains the essence of what the building used to be is awesome. Easy-on, Easy-off from the Pike and in the city so everything is close. Only complaint is that parking, even for hotel guests is outrageous. At least give us a few bucks off if we are staying at the hotel. October 29, 2012

Local construction companies, subcontractors help ready blitz
Five houses for low-income families are scheduled to be constructed in 10 days by hundreds of volunteers next month .
But before Habitat for Humanity West Hawaii's dream can become reality, plenty of preparation work must be done at the Villages at Lai Opua, a Department of Hawaiian Home Lands subdivision near Kealakehe High School.
Thanks to four local construction companies and numerous subcontractors, it almost is. Since July, home builders, electricians, plumbers, suppliers and others have been lending time, materials, equipment and skills preparing the site for Habitat for Humanity of West Hawaii's much-anticipated Lai Opua Blitz Build.
Between Sept. 12 and 22, five prepackaged, but modified, homes will be built in an effort to increase affordable housing in Kona. This build is also in celebration of the organization's 10th anniversary in West Hawaii. The homes are being constructed on parcels available to five approved Native Hawaiian beneficiaries on a 99-year, $1 annual site lease.
The estimated value of work being donated by construction companies and subcontractors is approximately $156,250 per home, said Steve Machesky of Kokua Contracting and Project Management, who is serving as the project manager.
"There's been a giant outpouring from more than 50 local businesses," he said. "It's been incredible coordinating the work and being a part of the whole thing."
These partnerships with local builders, subcontractors and suppliers are helping keep the construction cost as low as possible to Habitat for Humanity West Hawaii, a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Such generosity can only be described as awesome, said Patrick Hurney, Habitat for Humanity West Hawaii executive director.
The first of two foundations were poured Friday and the remaining three are scheduled to be poured this week, Machesky said.
Clearing, grading, utility, forming and other site work was done. The five partner families, who will live in the homes and must complete "sweat-equity" hours before moving in, have also helped with the removal of litter and weeds during the weekends, Hurney said.
Machesky said his company was introduced to this project through Laiopua 2020 Executive Director Bo Kahui and really appreciates "the good habitat is doing for the Hawaiian community and the under-served folks of West Hawaii." Kokua Contracting and Project Management got involved because "we want to do real and permanent good."
Over the past four years, Lahela Kulana Corp. owner Kaleo Perreira and his 18 employees have participated in Habitat for Humanity West Hawaii projects, helping speed the construction process and move partner families into their homes sooner than anticipated. The organization has built homes in Ocean View, Waimea, Captain Cook and Kawaihae.
For Perreira, the assistant project manager, helping construct five homes in 10 days will again be a labor of love, a testament of hope, a moving display of community power, as well as an exercise in perseverance, hard work and family values. He also hopes the blitz build serves as an inspiration to others that they do not have to accept the status quo: Things can change for the better and there's different ways to affect positively other people's lives and make a real difference.
Help is still needed, Hurney said. Tents, tools and other supplies need to be gathered for the build. Donations of food and beverages are needed to keep approximately 300 volunteers going daily. Volunteers are also needed, especially during the weekdays, to perform a variety of tasks, including cleaning, construction, safety, medical aid, registration, parking, securing and hospitality.

Samsung Galaxy S4 enjoys record-breaking sales in Russia
Since its official release on 26 April, Samsung's new smartphone, Galaxy S4, has been enjoying record-breaking sales in Russia. According to Mobile Research Group, in the first three days, over 15,000 handsets have been sold. "This is a record for a device in this price range. iPhone 5 did considerably worse in the first days of its launch. Yet, we shall wait till the end of the first week to come to any conclusions," a senior analyst at Mobile Research Group, Eldar Murtazin, said. In Russia, Galaxy S4 prices range from 30,000 roubles (for a 16GB model) to 37,000 roubles (for a 64GB model).
Golden age of Korean-Russian shuttle trading
Gazprom stock: It's buy-up time
Samsung's previous model, Galaxy S3, became the first South Korean smartphone to outperform iPhone in worldwide sales. In the first week since Galaxy S4 became available to pre-order, advance orders for it were four times that for its predecessor, Samsung has announced. Last year, there were 9 million pre-orders for the Galaxy S3 worldwide.
Galaxy S4's record-breaking sales in Russia come as a result of some inspired preparatory work Samsung has done with its partners, mobile phone operators and retailers that have direct access to consumers. For instance, Samsung made a deal with a leading operator, MTS, whereby buyers of the new smartphone will not have to pay for their calls for a year. This is not a typical offer in Russia, where phones are rarely sold with a contract. Yet, MTS does not stand to lose anything, the company's spokesperson Irina Agarkova is convinced: owners of modern smartphones spend four times as much on their mobile phone bills than owners of ordinary phones and it pays off to win them over and retain them.
Russia is a key market for mobile phone manufacturers, Samsung representatives in the country say. "The number of handsets sold here in three days is the same that it would take a week to sell in the USA," an informed source has said, explaining why the new Galaxy smartphone was released in Russia first. The Russian smartphone market is growing all the time. According to a major mobile phone retailer, Euroset, in the first quarter of 2013, smartphones made up 40.6 percent of the whole of the Russian phone market in terms of the number of handsets sold, and 78.2 percent in terms of sales. Compared with the same period in 2012, the number of handsets sold rose by 34.1 percent.
Last year the list of the world's leading smartphone manufacturers expanded to include China's Huawei and ZTE: their Android smartphones, together with Сoolpad and Lenovo models, managed to attract new users in the relevant target group, says research manager with IDC Ramon Llamas. In the first quarter of 2013, they joined the top five smartphone vendors, jointly accounting for 8.8 percent of the market (the top seller, Samsung, makes up 32.7 percent and Apple, 17.3 percent of the market). Chinese manufacturers are interested in the Russian market too, but it would be wrong to compare their success with that of Samsung. "Lenovo, Huawei and ZTE have just emerged, so it would be premature to speak of a considerable market share or large sales figures. Whereas, for instance, the well-known Taiwanese company HTC, which belongs in the same segment of the market as Samsung, during the release of its latest model sold only 1,500–2,000 handsets," Eldar Murtazin pointed out.

Head Coach Joan Bonvicini Quotes:
"It was a tale of two halves. The first half they really chomped on us, we retreated and we were not aggressive, and we didn't rebound. How the heck does a team that shoots 75% from the line shoot 57%?"
On the second half:
"We put pressure on them, made tough decisions and I am proud of how we were aggressive and came back."
"It's tough, a lot of it is confidence and getting through tough games. We still need to play a lot better."
"We played, well it's not that we didn't play hard at times, we just didn't put up a fight. We stopped fighting. We didn't compete."
"They were playing and we weren't making adjustments. We had to go out and be aggressive because they were pushing us around. It is hard to come back because it takes so much energy."
On the second half comeback:
"I've seen about everything I could see."
"I'm really proud we made that run. I thought we were going to throw it in. It's tough, and I am tired of losing."
"We have to take the good things out of this and get ready to play ASU."
Arizona Player Quotes
Freshman Guard Dee-Dee Wheeler
"I think we were playing kind of scared in the first half. We had open shots, but we just weren't taking them. When they went on runs, we didn't fight back. The fight wasn't there in the first half."
"In high school, I was a shooting guard. I've been telling Coach Bonvicini that I can shoot the ball. I got the team hyped up when I had my little 20-second spurt at the end of the second half. We were on the same page at that point. My shots just happened to fall at that time."
"We are going to focus on the second half in order to rebound from this loss. USC is really good, and we can't only play one half against them."
"We knew what was on the line, but the fight in our team wasn't there. USC wasn't just going to lay down for us. We tried to rely on the referees to bail us out. Now this makes the ASU game a must-win situation."
USC Head Coach Chris Gobrecht:
"The critical thing in this game was not so much the huge momentum swing, but instead was that we didn't come out ready to play in the second half. We should have come out and put them away after the half, but we didn't and that was very critical."
"I thought that (sophomore forward Ebony) Hoffman was huge for us defensively. She was great on the boards and did a good job guarding (senior forward Elizabeth) Pickney."
"Arizona is a real streaky team and we knew that coming in here today. I fully expected something like this to happen (referring to the comeback at the end of the game), but not with three minutes to go in the game. We were fortunate that it didn't happen earlier in the game."

The site for the new wind mill facility in Bruni has been selected and will be behind Bruni Middle School.
LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - The windmill farms in the quad city area are what make those small towns stand out. Webb County hopes to give these people more opportunities at jobs in their hometown by building a new training facility. The majority of the workers on the windmill farms are from out of town. The county hopes this training facility will give quad city residents a reason to stay.
The new facility will be by Bruni Middle School. High school students will be able to take classes to get their certification to work on a windmill farm. The county is now looking for a contractor to build the new training facility. But the basic classes could start as early as July.
"Jobs are limited. Lately, we have been losing community members to go forward and they are going north. Other than oil and gas, we needed to have something else."
"I think it will offer a lot of opportunities for our students graduating to work here and stay close to home. It might also bring people to the quad city area, which I think is a good thing."
Bruni goes to school year-round. So introductory classes could start as early as July. Once the facility is up and running, they will also offer certification classes to community members in the quad city area.

Officers reportedly found Rhoades in possession of a total of 321 bags of heroin and a "small amount" of marijuana.
He is charged with possession of a controlled substance in a Tier 5 quantity, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Rhoades is being held at the Howard R. Young Correctional Facility in Wilmington on an $11,000 secured bond, police said.
The driver of the vehicle, who was not identified in the release, reportedly was charged with driving on a suspended or revoked license.

Focusing on the family of Tevye, a Jewish Russian milkman in the town of Anatevka, the 1971 film, Fiddler on the Roof, tells a humorous, poignant story about small town life, tradition, and the ups and downs between parents and children. The music, notably, "Tradition", "Matchmaker", "If I Were a Rich Man", and "Sunrise, Sunset", gives the movie a festive, yet melancholy atmosphere—a unique blend of hopefulness and sadness.
1. Plot summary
The film starts on a lighthearted note, but the tone becomes increasingly somber as the film progresses. Much of the humor revolves around Tevye (portrayed by Chaim Topol) and his wife, Golde (portrayed by Norma Crane), trying to find suitable husbands for their five daughters. When it appears that Tzeitel, the eldest daughter (portrayed by Rosalind Harris), is going to be matched up with Lazar Wolf, the middle-aged town butcher (portrayed by Paul Mann), she persuades her father to bless her to marry her actual love, Motel, the town tailor (portrayed by Leonard Frey). Though it goes against custom for the betrothed couple to choose each other, Tevye gives in, wanting his daughter to be happy.
Hodel, the second oldest daughter, falls in love with Perchik, a young radical wanting to fight against the oppression of the turn-of-the-century Russian government. Departing even further from custom, Hodel and Perchik don't ask Tevye permission to marry; they simply inform him of their plans and he, not without some difficulty, gives in and agrees to bless their plans.
Chava, the third oldest, defies custom the most when she falls in love with Fyedka, a non-Jewish man in the village. Marrying outside the faith is unthinkable to Tevye and, though he forbids her to have any further contact with Fyedka, Chava runs away and elopes. In the most heartbreaking scene of the film, Tevye renounces Chava and declares that his daughter is dead.
2. Exploring some of the film's key themes
Unlike so many films that portray the young up against the old, Fiddler on the Roof does not pose a simple "Progressive=good, Traditionalist=bad" dichotomy. Even when Tevye disowns his daughter, he is still a sympathetic character. Viewers see him wrestling with his decision, trying to somehow reconcile his love for his daughter with his disapproval of her decision, which goes against everything he believes in. In a monologue to himself, he says he can't "bend", as he had with his two older daughters—"If I bend that far, I will break." The film winks at the occasional irrationality of being bogged down in tradition, but it doesn't mock tradition itself.
Tevye is a good man, trying to do what is right, just as Chava is, at heart, a good daughter, wanting to honor her parents. In the final scene when all of Anatevka's Jews are being deported, Chava once again finds Tevye, attempting to reconcile. He won't look at her, but, as she leaves, he prompts Tzeitel to say, "May God be with you" to her, indicating that his heart is still warm toward Chava, even if he can't, at that moment, figure out how to have a relationship with her.
Tevye is portrayed as a sincerely God-fearing man. He speaks to God throughout the film as if talking to a familiar friend. He jokes with God about his crippled horse, nags God about giving his son-in-law the tailor a new sewing machine, and frequently questions why God hasn't yet made him rich. He quotes the "Good Book" to all he meets, once even doing so in a prayer, before catching himself—"Why should I tell you what the Good Book says?"
Tevye's Jewish faith is not something peripheral to his life, a separate compartment he acknowledges on the Sabbath. It is the center of his identity. His entire being revolves around his Judaism. The townspeople of Anatevka are refreshingly portrayed as sincere in their faith. The line between their Jewish faith and their cultural traditions sometimes gets blurred, but they are not portrayed as people who unthinkingly follow their faith out of some obligation to dead tradition. They follow their faith because it brings life to their community. They are shown to be fallible, flawed people, but not hypocrites.
Their faith hasn't made them sour, humorless people, which is so often the caricature one gets from Hollywood. Once when the Rabbi is asked if there is a prayer appropriate to pray for the Tzar, he wryly replies, "May God bless and keep the Tzar… far away from us."
The film showcases Jewish persecution in Europe arguably as well as its ever been portrayed on film. Fiddler on the Roof humanizes the Jews of Anatevka, making a culture which will no doubt feel very foreign to contemporary Americans, seem a little less distant. In humanizing the Jews, the Russian government's inhuman expulsion of them stands out as all the more de-humanizing. The saddest thing to bring to mind is that Russia's government in 1905 (the setting of the film) was at least nominally Christian. How could a Christian government behave in such an unchristian manner to its Jewish citizens?
3. Wrestling with the film's unresolved questions
The film leaves many questions unresolved and, though this is one of the most frustrating elements of the movie, it is also one that, upon further reflection, is very artistically satisfying. We don't know for sure if Yente, the town matchmaker, successfully makes it to the Holy Land where she wants to go, or if Lazar Wolf makes it to Chicago. We don't know if Tevye's family makes it to New York. We don't know if Tevye's youngest daughters grow up and marry the boys Yente has picked out for them. Most importantly, we don't know how Chava's and Fyedka's marriage turns out. Leaving these questions unresolved forces viewers to grapple with the uncertainties raised by the film.
Christian viewers must grapple with Tevye's understandable concerns about his daughter's inter-religious marriage. On one hand, one could hope that Chava, in marrying Fyedka, becomes a follower of Christ herself. The film implies that the couple eloped at the local Orthodox Christian church, as Golde must go there to consult the Rector to confirm her fear that her daughter has in fact married Fyedka. On the other hand, evangelicals regularly decry "missionary dating", and even if his bride becomes a follower of Christ, it doesn't alter the fact that Fyedka was on shaky moral ground when courting a girl who, at least at that stage, didn't share his faith.
Because the film doesn't resolve all that we might ask about the newly married couple, we don't know if Chava became a Christian or if Fyedka eventually became a Jew, and we don't know how the groom's family responded to their marriage. If the film elaborated more on this, it might make for a neater story. On the other hand, leaving it unresolved forces viewers, if they haven't already, to deal with the fact that the inter-religious marriages raise questions without easy answers.
One of the most important questions the film raises is how a father, in Tevye's situation, should respond if his daughter has married outside the faith. As well intentioned as he was, viewers can easily see that Tevye's heavy-handed approach is likely to alienate his daughter, not bring her to any different viewpoint. But what would an appropriate, more diplomatic approach look like? It's a hard question.
4. Conclusion
The saddest element is that the Jews and Christians of Anatevka were so separate. What Christ taught, and what the apostles preached, was not a "new" religion, distinct from the faith of the Jewish patriarchs. That a Jewish/Christian marriage is an "inter-faith" marriage at all is a sad testament to the division between the two belief systems—a divide that should never have occurred.
The division did occur, though, and as it stands, traditional Christians can sympathize with Tevye's concerns about his daughter. Agreement on who Jesus is or isn't is so foundational that marrying someone who believes differently about him is rightly a boundary that can't feasibly be crossed. Christians and Jews should certainly be friendly to each other (Tevye demonstrates such friendliness himself), but intermarriage is a different spectrum.
When Chava, trying to justify her wanting to marry Fyedka, tells her father, "The world is changing," Tevye replies, "Some things never change." On that point, he is very much right. The importance of the question of whether or not Jesus is the Messiah never changes. If the question was ever important, it will always be important.

Long Island Q&A: Dr. Ethel S. Person
The Good and Bad of Indulging in Fantasy and Daydreaming
By THOMAS CLAVIN
Published: July 28, 1996
IN ''By Force of Fantasy: How We Make Our Lives'' (Basic Books)Dr. Ethel S. Person discusses how and why people fantasize, the advantages of daydreams, how one's fantasy life affects their personal and professional goals, the ways that fantasies enrich lives and how fantasies influence relationships.
Dr. Person is a professor of clinical psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University, and she has a private psychiatric practice in Manhattan. She is a graduate of the New York University College of Medicine, and from 1981 to 1991 she was the director of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.
She and her husband, Stanley Diamond, have a home in Amagansett.
Q. Is there a difference between fantasies and daydreams?
A. The terms are often used synonymously, but there are differences. Daydreams are building castles in the air, taking time out for a reverie. They are idiosyncratic and repeating, you concoct a daydream that becomes a favorite and at will you can call it up again. Most daydreams are self-soothing and for sexual arousal.
In addition to some of these aspects, fantasies have to do with future goals and dreams. They could be romantic, professional, even physical, like transforming yourself into an athlete or changing your appearance. That is why fantasy is so crucial to how we lead our lives. We are really infused by our fantasies, they can help establish goals and provide motivation to strive for them.
Q. Why do people feel guilty about daydreaming?
A. One reason is that we live in a culture that is so committed to rationality that we tend to downgrade anything that is non-scientific. That is combined with the longstanding work ethic to be productive, and time spent daydreaming is not viewed as productive, it can be considered shirking. We're not getting something visible done when we daydream.
Also, because we don't tell each other our daydreams, we keep them secret, we tend to underestimate their importance. There is no external validation; they're not worth anything to others and by not sharing them there is no opportunity for approval. And individually, we don't look too closely at our own daydreams. We have them, usually for a short period of time, they go unexamined and then it's on to something else.
Q. You write in your book, ''Fantasies deepen our connection with other people.'' If we rarely share fantasies, isn't that a contradiction?
A. No, because fantasies influence interpersonal relationships and how relationships are formed and with whom. When we form intimate relationships, we're often responding to subliminal cues tied to our fantasies. For example, if a man fantasizes himself as a rescuer, he may not recognize that the woman he will seek out is one who requires, to some extent, rescuing, and a woman who fantasizes about being rescued in some fashion is more likely to respond to a man who in subtle ways indicates a willingness or ability to play that role. Many men and women have formed deep relationships because of reciprocal fantasies and may never discuss or even be aware of this subliminal connection.
Q. Do people begin to repress their fantasies during childhood, and if so, why?
A. There is a developmental sequence to fantasies. For very young children, they are an important and necessary part of the way they relate to and absorb life. Then as children develop the ability to reason, they become slightly ashamed and are less likely to share daydreams and fantasies. They will express them more through play. Fantasies become more internalized, and there is less time devoted to daydreaming. Some of this is suppression, on their part or outside influences, like parents or teachers or peers. But the nature of daydreaming is that it will change over time. It's just part of the developmental process.
Q. Are all people born with the same capacity for fantasy?
A. All of us have the capacity to fantasize, yet there can be major differences in fantasy lives. Some people are great visualizers, their daydreams and fantasies are vivid, as if watching movies or painting pictures in their minds. Others have imaginary dialogues, whole and intricate conversations in their heads.
Some people don't feel that they fantasize at all, that they don't originate interesting daydreams and fantasies. If we're not as good as others in doing that, many still tend to have a vicarious fantasy life through movies, books and TV. If you know what a person's favorite book or movie is, that's an indication of their fantasy life whatever the apparent extent of it is.
Q. How do male and female fantasies differ?
A. There are significant differences in sexual fantasies because men and women have different sexual feelings, needs and sometimes views. But fantasies based on gender are not just what you want to do in bed. Females are more likely to have fantasies involving body parts. Universal feelings like anger and love may be expressed using body imagery in a way a man can't. A fantasy that your breasts are filling up with milk can be a joyful one that will never be part of a man's experience even in fantasy.

Hipsters on food stamps — They're young, they're broke, and they pay for organic salmon with government subsidies. Got a problem with that?
Obama ended the work requirement for welfare — now they don't even need to show up. After 99 weeks of unemployment, they go on permanent disability so the checks keep coming. The hard-earned work of others stolen for these bratty moochers and looters. This is what liberals tell their kids. Not work hard, stay late, get ahead. No, tell them to get on the welfare and food stamp line.
Each month, cash is loaded onto electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards. In Indiana WISH-TV got a digital dump of thousands of transactions showing where the money was spent. Vast sums were traced to bars, clubs, liquor stores, Las Vegas casinos, horse racing tracks, where the it's supposed to be illegal to use — but it's just a debt card that can't be controlled. "But Indiana does not monitor where cash is actually used." Also, they can use it in ATMs and get cash-back to buy their cigarettes. Most states are moving to EBT dispensing of welfare.

The Kelleys invited then-Florida Gov. Charlie Crist to their home, but he never accepted. Instead, he had dinner with the Kelleys at a steakhouse in Tampa with Petraeus.

Yeah, and as people start running out of money on their food stamps early because they're blowing it on organic this and 'fair trade' that, then they'll demand increases in what they get from those of us who actually produce something every month to pay for it.
@ mfhorn:
Here in Ontario there used to be a "Special Diet" supplement for welfare recipients. We don't have EBT cards or food stamps here. Anyway, this was being used and abused by all sorts of people on welfare. Encouraged by such idiots as the Coalition Against Poverty (one of those anarchist/communist front groups). Well, this system was so abused and draining the welfare coffers so badly the government of Ontario changed the rules and cut the supplement.
Mind you it was needed for those people that couldn't subsist properly on normal cheap food. Now they are being punished even more because of some entitlist dimwits that wanted "their fair share".
Ammunition is always a wise purchase as are guns. You can never have too much ammunition or too many guns.

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram hasn't exactly been known as a pass-catching running back in his time in the NFL.
This especially rings true when Ingram has only caught 27 passes for 160 yards - and zero touchdowns - in 39 career games (37 regular season, two playoffs).
But a look at the record books, as Ingram attested to on Monday after practice, shows that Ingram has been capable of being an asset out of the backfield in his younger days.
Rivals.com listed Ingram as an athlete coming out of Southwestern Academy in Flint, Mich. after his senior season after Ingram played running back, cornerback and a little receiver in high school.
Entering his fourth season with the Saints, Ingram is ready to show off some of that versatility on a new stage.
"I want to do everything," Ingram said. "I want to be involved in the passing game, the running game, picking up pass (protection). I want to be the most versatile player I can be."
Ingram looks to have a much more active role in the Saints' passing game this season as evident by his preseason workload. He caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Griffin in the Saints' 31-24 preseason victory over the Tennessee Titans last Friday.
It could be a throwback to his time at Alabama where Ingram caught 60 passes for 670 yards and four touchdowns in his three seasons with the Crimson Tide.
"I've run the screen a lot when I was in college so I'm real comfortable running the screen," Ingram acknowledged, while also commenting about how much he has learned from Saints screen play extraordinaire Pierre Thomas.
Ingram alluded to the fact that the reason he hasn't caught as many passes with the Saints is because simply, there haven't been many chances to do so because of the style of play the Saints run and the opportunities given to Thomas and Darren Sproles over the last three seasons.
"People can say what they want, think what they want, but sometimes you're just given a role going into a game and sometimes that's not part of it," Ingram said. "You just grow and learn. When you have the opportunity to show you can do it, you take advantage of it."

Astellas Pharma announced it has received FDA approval for Astragraf XL™ (tacrolimus extended-release capsules) for the prophylaxis of kidney rejection in patients receiving a transplant with mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids, with or without basiliximab induction.
The firm said its Astragraf XL is the first once-daily oral tacrolimus formulation available to kidney transplant recipients in the U.S. As part of an immunosuppressive regimen for the prophylaxis of organ rejection, "Astragraf XL offers a potentially promising treatment option for appropriate kidney transplant recipients," Astellas said.
FDA's approval stemmed from a review of results of two primary, randomized, comparative Phase III studied involving more than 1,000 patients in the U.S., Europe, Canada, South America, Australia, and South Africa. Astellas added that its drug earned marketing approval under the name Advagraf® in Europe in 2007, and a year later in Japan, under the name Graceptor®.
"Each transplant recipient is different and requires a personalized treatment approach. The approval of ASTAGRAF XL marks an important milestone in post-transplant care as it provides physicians with a new treatment option for kidney transplant recipients," Astellas Pharma CMO Sef Kurstjens, M.D., PhD., said in a statement.

Sept. 20, 2000
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona State swimmer Attila Czene of Hungary will challenge for repeat Olympic gold in the 200 individual medley Thursday, Sept. 21 in Sydney, Australia.
Wednesday, after swimming the tenth fastest heat time of 2:02.66, Czene swam the seventh-fastest semi-final time of 2:01.56. Among others, the United States' Tom Dolan poses to contend with Czene. Dolan swam the fastest semi-final time in 2:00.38.
Czene, from Budapest, Hungary, captured bronze in the 200 IM in 1992 and gold in 1996, when he set an Olympic record in 1:59.91. In March, he earned the NCAA 200 IM title for ASU when he tied the short-course (25-meter) world record in 1:54.65, a mark originally set by Finland's Jani Sievenen in 1994.
Earlier in the week, Czene swam the opening leg of Hungary's 800 freestyle relay team in 1:52.66. Hungary finished fifth in the first of two heats in 7:24.48. It was the tenth-fastest time, just short of qualifying for finals.
In one season at ASU, Czene put his name on five ASU top-ten lists. He has school records in the 200 butterfly (1:44.49) and 200 IM (1:42.72). He is second in the 200 free (1:35.20) and third in the 100 free (43.48) and 100 fly (47.67).
Other Sun Devils in the Olympics:
Abal, Pablo (Argentina) -- Abal has yet to compete. Abal swam at ASU from 1997-2000, receiving NCAA All-American honors all but his first year. He is the ASU record holder in the 100 back (47.85), and ranks fourth in the 50 free (19.93), seventh in the 200 back (1:48.77) and ninth in the 100 fly (48.48).
Adel, Carolyn (Suriname) -- Placed seventh in the third of four heats of the 400 IM in 4:57.90. (Did Not Qualify for finals). Placed third in the second of five heats of the 200 IM in 2:19.17. (DNQ for semi-finals). Adel swam at ASU from 1997-2000, receiving NCAA All-American honors all four years. She has ASU top-10 times in seven different events, including records in the 200 IM (2:00.29) and the 400 IM (4:13.05).
Delgado, Felipe (Ecuador) -- Placed seventh in the fifth of 10 heats of the 100 free in 52.78. (DNQ for semi-finals). Delgado swam at ASU from 1994-1997, receiving NCAA All-American honors all four years. He ranks third all-time in the 50 free (19.75) and fifth in the 100 free (43.75).
Delgado, Robert (Ecuador) -- Placed third in the first of six heats of the 200 fly in 2:08.18. (DNQ for semi-finals). Delgado swam at ASU from 1996-1999. His collegiate best 200 fly time of 1:47.70 ranks seventh in the ASU record books.
Mesa-Rodriuez, Ivan (Panama) -- Placed sixth in the fifth of nine heats of the 100 breaststroke 1:04.68. (DNQ for semi-finals).
Sanchez, Francisco (Venezuela) -- Placed eighth in the sixth of 10 heats of the 100 freestyle in 52.43. (DNQ for semi-finals). Sanchez swam at ASU from 1996-1999, receiving NCAA All-American honors all four years. In 1996, he became the first male Sun Devil swimmer to capture an NCAA title since 1983 (Mike Orn, 200 free) when he won the 50 free. Sanchez was named the Pac-10's Swimmer of the Year the same year. The ASU records in the 50 free (19.32), 100 free (42.82) and 100 fly (46.96) still bear his name.
