Location: Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Determine the influence of dietary factors on growth, physiological, psychological and cognitive development and functioning in children (from infancy through childhood). The overall goals of this study are to: 1) evaluate the effects of infant diet (breast-milk, dairy- and soy-based formulas, and monosaccharide supplemented formula) on physiological, behavioral, and cognitive development in infants and children; 2) determine the effects of diet composition, meal patterns, and meal frequency on brain function and behavioral dynamics that are important for learning and school performance in well-characterized normal and overweight school children; and 3) characterize neurocognitive function that contributes to or is a consequence of obesity in children, including brain-function correlates of food-seeking behavior.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Children (infants, toddlers, and school-aged youths) will be studied longitudinally to evaluate the effects of infant diet (specifically, breast-milk, dairy- and soy-based formulas, and monosaccharide supplemented formula) on physiological, behavioral and cognitive development in infants and children. Nutritional status assessments, anthropometric measurements, urine and blood analysis, and measures of psychological, neuropsychological, and cognitive measures will be obtained and analyzed. The effects of diet composition, meal patterns, and meal frequency on brain function and behavioral dynamics that are important for learning and school performance in normal and overweight school children will be assessed using validated survey instruments and state-of-the-art research equipment. Neurocognitive function will be characterized that contributes to or is a consequence of obesity in children, including brain-function correlates of food-seeking behavior.
3. Progress Report:
Significant progress was made on all objectives of this project through the established Specific Cooperative Agreement. Please see 6251-51000-006-03S for the detailed FY12 Progress Report.
4. Accomplishments
1. Diet influences the rate at which speech sound information is communicated within the brain. The integration of speech sound information across brain regions is fundamental to language comprehension. The brain first processes syllables in the speech perception area (Wernicke's Area), and this area then communicates (via neural impulses) with other brain regions, such as the speech production area (Broca's area). Just how infant diet may influence the development of these interacting brain networks is not known. Scientists at the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, studied this question by comparing the speed with which neural impulses reach these regions areas (Wernicke's and Broca's areas) in 3-month-old infants who were breastfed or formula-fed (milk-based or soy-based). We found earlier activation in Wernicke's region than Broca's region across diet groups, but with shorter activation times (i.e., greater processing speed) between these sites in milk-fed than breastfed and soy-fed infants, which suggests that infant diets can differentially modify the development of timing relationships in communication between these important brain regions. Although the significance of these effects is not clear, our data showing breast-fed infants score better on standardized measures of language development might suggest a disadvantage in language development for 3-month-old infants fed milk formula.
2. Do differences in postnatal diet affect behavioral and language development during infancy? Behavioral development during infancy establishes the foundation for later development, but there are no studies comparing the influence of the three major infant diets (breast-milk, milk-based formula, and soy formula) on this development. Scientists at the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, are addressing these issues in a longitudinal investigation of healthy infants fed these diets. Findings in 391 infants during the first year of life showed that all groups scored within the normal range on standardized developmental tests of mental, psychomotor, and language development. Analyses with adjustments for differences in potentially confounding background and environmental factors showed no differences between formula-fed groups on these measures, but a slight advantage was seen in cognitive development for breastfed compared with formula-fed infants. These findings provide new comparative information regarding the influence of infant diet on early mental, behavioral, and language development to parents and physicians and should help reduce the concerns of parents and industry regarding the use of soy formula.
3. Breakfast improves memory needed for solving math problems. Memory is critical for learning, but how brain processes regulating memory function are influenced by morning nutrition in school-aged children has not been determined. Scientists at the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, have recorded brain electrical activity during the performance of a complex mental function (mental arithmetic) in children (8 to 10 years old) who ate breakfast compared to those who skipped this meal. Researchers found that for those who ate breakfast, working memory during the tasks of solving math problems was made more efficient by increasing brain activity that prevents task-irrelevant information from gaining access to, and interfering with, working memory function. Brain activity measured in children who skipped breakfast showed they required greater mental effort to do the same mathematical processing. These results are important in identifying specific brain processes involved in information processing that are sensitive to a short-term variation in morning nutrition in well-nourished preadolescents, and provide evidence of beneficial effects of consuming breakfast on processes important in learning.

Always sharp and direct, invariably witty, often ironic, frequently hostile and invariably personal, Frossard's articles were, somehow inevitably, described as "typically French", a description that he disliked, in spite of having written a book called Excusez-moi d'etre francais (1992). Also he liked to single out quotations from French authors which he thought explained France. Thus, in one of his last pieces, he wrote of Anatole de Monzie, a largely forgotten politician of the Third Republic whom he surprisingly described as talented, erudite and a great orator, and quoted him as saying, "One must never forget that if the French adore revolutions, they are horrified by change." Why quote this in January 1995? Is it true? One remembers Frossard's fewsentences for much longer than the important and well- informed articles that surrounded them.
Frossard's delight was to surprise. And he was well-placed to do this. His grandmother was Jewish, his mother a Lutheran Protestant, his father, Ludovic-Oscar Frossard, an official atheist who was first secretary of the Communist Party and later a socialist minister.
The young Frossard discovered religion when he entered a chapel to look for a friend in July 1935. This experience has often been compared to Claudel's vision, much earlier, in Notre Dame. But Claudel turned his work and himself into a cathedral. Frossard never forgot that his chapel, now invisible, was in the Rue d'Ulm, a street dominated by the Ecole Normale Superieure.
His conversion was always individual, allowing him to adopt different attitudes, even to see matters as a joke. "I was as surprised," he wrote, "to find myself a Catholic when I left the chapel as I would have been to find myself a giraffe when I left the zoo." There is an apostle who has been named "doubting"; Frossard would have been called "comic".
It is tempting to suggest that his wartime experience was as important for him as was his religious conversion. Joining the Resistance early, he was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 and put under the control of Klaus Barbie in the fort of Montluc, near Lyons. He was one of only seven who survived. He described what it was to be tortured and to visualise himself and his companions as being already dead. He was a witness at the long-delayed trial of Barbie and explained how he had come to understand what was a crime against humanity. He was a Catholic who believed in the rights of man and this applied to the Algerians who were tortured in the 1950s, a torture that he denounced in the right-wing paper L'Aurore.
A Gaullist, Frossard wrote an ironic article on de Gaulle entitled "Napoleon the Other" in 1946. This brought him into personal contact with the General, whom he claimed had brought a spiritual element into French life. When de Gaulle died Frossard claimed that the French had given to him the only possible response to such a great man: ingratitude.
A more direct acquaintance was with Pope John Paul II, who helped Frossard to write a book by answering questions. They became friends who telephoned each other frequently, which did not prevent Frossard from telling the Pope that there were times when he was too Papist.
Although he affected to despise honours, he was determined to be a member of the Academie Francaise, which he did with difficulty, at his second try in 1987. There he looked with amusement at the preparations for the election of the Primate of Gaul, Cardinal Decourtray. "I suppose that at least he believes in God," he commented.
A journalist since before the Second World War, Frossard worked for several papers before joining Le Figaro in June 1962. He was a prolific writer. God exists: I know because I've met him (1969) was a best-seller. He surveyed the literary scene with amusement. His constant surprise was in his appearance. As comics are supposed to look glum when the camera is not on them, so Frossard looked bad-tempered until one spoke to him. Then one encountered wit and humour.
When he learnt of Frossard's death, the Pope dedicated his daily mass to him. Doubtless for him, and for many others, there will be much missing of those tiny articles on the front page.

This is exam week at Hartpury College, Gloucester's training base near the Severn, and the irony is not lost on Dean Ryan. Agriculture students have been sweating on their first semester papers, and the examination of Ryan's young squad, their confidence and their powers of recovery, starts tonight.
After losing their first two Heineken Cup pool matches Gloucester are back in Europe with no room to manoeuvre. There are no resits. Win against Agen tonight and Leinster next weekend and a remarkable story continues. Fail and potentially the brightest crop of young players in England will be ejected from Europe's top class. Worse still is the damage another heavy defeat could do to a side who, according to their head coach, have only just recovered from those October beatings. Ryan says it wasn't until the narrow defeat at Sale last weekend that he felt the scars had finally healed, which presumably is why all but one of that starting XV play in France.
But to understand how such a team could become that unhinged you have to go back to last season, when Ryan looked at his side and decided that radical change was necessary. "The group we had before had hit its ceiling," he said this week. "All we were trying to do was keep it at that ceiling." He responded by playing a bunch of kids not long out of school. In came Anthony Allen, Ryan Lamb, Olly Morgan, Jack Adams and a 19-year-old prop, Jack Forster.
"I had to pick them for my own sanity," said the coach, "because I had come to the conclusion with Bryan [Redpath, his deputy] that the group we were working with wasn't going to win. And when that happens I have to move."
Initial results were impressive. Not only were Gloucester winning but the kids were fashioning outrageous tries. Allen, Lamb and Morgan were even being talked of as Test prospects. That success rolled on into this season and when Gloucester went to Dublin for the most eagerly awaited match of the first Heineken weekend they were riding high at the top of the Premiership. But four of the backs were making their Heineken Cup debuts and how would two centres who had barely celebrated their 20th birthdays cope with Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy?
The answer came in the fourth minute when D'Arcy ripped Gloucester open to score the first of four Leinster tries. A week later Gloucester were anchored to the bottom of Pool Two after suffering another four-try defeat - at home to Agen, a side not previously noted for taking Europe seriously.
"I think we invited them [Agen] to play that well," said Ryan. "There was a hangover from Leinster. We rolled into the game probably still hurting from the previous weekend. A lot of these young guys are still fragile in terms of confidence and however bullish they might seem they had just had a very public punch on the nose, probably spent the week mulling that around and then, bang, they got hit again.
"As a group of coaches we knew that at some stage it was going to happen and it happened when we were probably at our youngest and least experienced as well. We were missing Alex Brown, Mike Tindall and Andy Hazell around that period and that added to the mix."
Gloucester recovered with back-to-back bonus-point wins against Edinburgh and are now second in the pool, four points behind Leinster and two ahead of Agen, but those early defeats left their mark. "Over Christmas we went into our shells a bit and some of the younger guys, like Allen and Lamb, had to think, probably too much, about what they had to do and it made everything a bit dull. We are trying to come out of that and give them the confidence, albeit with the armoury of the experiences we have had. It's a difficult balance because how do you tell a group to be pragmatic when it's based about them being fuelled with ambition?
"Post those two defeats, we did go too far towards the pragmatic stuff and I don't think this side is built for that. I honestly believe that playing the game with a lot of movement and a lot of ambition is the way to win. We have just got to set some parameters around it when we move up levels because you can't go at Leinster playing from anywhere on the park."
But Ryan is convinced of one thing: "A year on, I think we have confirmation that we are working with the right people."

to believe UTG not good bet to make 3 with aq .But when a call mp if you can do squeeze because you got blockers.
It is a complicated board, I think you can go never value 3 bets on that board. I think better check back the flop even.
I think when mp villain makes call to ugt and then makes call your 3 bet on there hands range as pockets or some hand style kq suit kj t maybe tk suit j t suit
Agree with Nicolas we need to check a street because this isn't a great board for top pair and an even worse turn. I'm playing this hand pretty passively post on this flop. We only have a PSB on turn but the only worse hand calling is KQ so I go for some pot control.
re: Poker & $10 NLHE 6-max: AQoff from the button
I would rather bet small on the turn and check back the river. There is still KQ/KJ/99 that might call as well as FD's.
AA, KK 4 bet. TT-QQ raise the flop as do most two pairs and AK.
We are almost always ahead here until the ten peels. If he has a ten he will get value from us on the river most of the time anyway so let's get value from his mid strength hands on the turn then check back the river.
Bet like $2.80 imo.
Pre-flop: I probably flat most of the time (raise it about 30%) because UTG should have a strong range here, and he looks like a LAGtard. The way to play these guys is to be pretty passive and allow them to bluff, by keeping their range wide. I don't hate the squeeze, but I probably flat here.
When MP calls the UTG raise, we don't think he's getting out of line here, seems like a reasonably solid player. His range is probably something like 99-JJ, AJs, AQs, 65s. Very small and strong but not premium. He's probably folding any SCs and maybe 99,TT at a push here. He could occasionally have some other stuff but his range going to the flop is primarily going to be strong suited Ax and medium pairs.
Flop: Think your bet sizing is fine. Your opponent isn't going to have a draw too often here, despite how wet it looks. The board blocks most flush draws he could have and I'm not sure how much Kx is in his range. I'm pretty happy when he calls because I believe he raises a set here, seeing as there's a lot of turn cards that are bad for a set (either by outdrawing it or killing the action). He probably has a hand like 99, AJ or maybe even AQ here. He could be slow-playing AK, but he often 4-bets it pre-flop.
Turn: It's a decent card for us. The T rarely improves him. I'm betting small-ish on the turn, $3.00-$3.20 to get value from some random stuff he could have called with pre-flop like KQ, AJ, 99. I would plan to check back the river unless we hit a Q or T though.

House in Gharb, Island of Gozo, Malta-Gozo - Ideal Location On The Edge Of Village But Still In Walking Distance To Foodshops And Restaurants
This 400 year old farmhouse has been in the family for 16 years. Originally converted in the 70's by the head designer of Dartington Glass, the present owner has taken great care to restore the house over the years by retaining its original simplicity and rustic charm while adding the modern conveniences.
The house is perfectly positioned on a small square on the outskirts of the village overlooking the countryside and San Dimitri chapel and with seaviews in the distance. On a clear day you can see Sicily in the distance.
It is only a 5 minute walk to the food stores and restaurants and if feeling particularly lazy the breadman, veg man, fish man and drinks man visit the square in their vans.
The house enjoys a beautiful swimming pool designed by the owner and inspired by her travels to Thailand. The mature garden provides a perfect natural umbrella with its 7 mature palm trees allowing for a respite from the sun and lovely entertainment space with a large old cable table seating 12 and another Indian marble table seating 6 and a barbecue. This pool area is cordoned off very tastefully and practically with a wooden fence that runs along one side of the pool area making it safe for children and a blessing for parents who can relax while eating their lunch in the garden and not having to look up every minute to check on the children.
There is a housekeeper, pool man and gardener who look after the house. The housekeeper can also provide additional cleaning during your holiday and there is also babysitting if required.
The owner is English/Maltese and is happy to advise on any additional holiday requirements. She writes a local restaurant guide - The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo -www.restaurantsmalta.com and the Malta Baby & Kids Directory - www.maltababyandkids.com and organises local Artisan Markets on the islands - www.maltaartisanmarkets.com and so is the perfect person to ask advise on dining out and anything to do with children in Malta and Gozo or arts and crafts.
This unique house has been featured in two design magazines.

Wonderful, relaxing holiday.
About the Owner
About Lisa
I am English/Maltese having been brought up in Malta and attended boarding school in the UK and University in Malta. I have travelled extensively and lived abroad and I presently live in Malta. I have two children aged 4 and 10 so I understand what is required in the house to make life as comfortable and simple as possible. We as a family love staying at our house in Gozo finding it relaxing while also enjoyable and great fun.
I am the publisher of Malta's foremost restaurant guide - The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo www.restaurantsmalta.com and the Malta Baby & Kids Directory www.maltababyandkids.com as well as the founder and organiser of Malta Artisan Markets www.maltaartisanmarkets.com
Why Lisa chose Island of Gozo
When I was young we would always visit Gozo from Malta and so I have lots of fond memories of time spent there at the various locations including Ramla, Xlendi and Victoria.
The sea is divine and the life relaxed. Our house is perfectly positioned away from the core area of Gharb but easily accessible to the amenities and restaurants.
We can escape to our house with our children and friends and enjoy the pool area and entertaining in the garden.
We love to go for long walks from the house and bike rides and will organise picnics in the countryside as well as days on the beach.

"Mediterranean Memories
Romantic inner courtyard with white against blue skies, flowering vines, colourful glass tiles.
Flagstone paved farmhouse courtyard inviting you outside for breakfast. The children's laughter lingers around the crystal clear saltwater pool. Evening drinks by the pool or overlooking flashing lighthouse and rustic rural scenes in the changing hues of sunset.
A white stone staircase inviting you to rest in the cool secluded bedrooms. Master bedroom has you sleeping under wide stone arches with gentle breezes wafting the generous expanses of space. There is a private balcony with outdoor shower overlooking the sea and capturing the many bird calls of Gozo. We wish we had more time to stay longer.
Wonderful, relaxing holiday.
This is delightful house that was the perfect getaway for our family. There were 6 of us and we thought we might get on top of each other but there was so much space that that never happened. The house is conducive to maximum chill out. This could be by the pool or living room. The house is tasteful in decor throughout and has every amenity one could wish for. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone wanting a break.
Wonderful Mamma Mia House!
As soon as we walked in we knew we had made the right decision. A real life Mamma Mia house; blue doors, white washed walls, beautiful tiled courtyard, amazing outside area and pool (very deep). The bedrooms all had floor standing fans as they are very hot at night. The master bedroom is massive and a lot cooler than the other bedrooms. The lounge is beautiful with an area to lie down and rest in the middle which is the size of a double bed. The house has a utility room with washing machine upstairs and clothes line. There are great views from the roof. The kitchen has everything you need with a large gas stove, microwave, 2 fridges and dishwasher. The garden has a gas bbq and lots of seating. Each night we put the pool lights on and sat outside and enjoyed the heat and peace and quiet.
Lidl and Waitrose are only a few minutes' drive away in Victoria. You pass both on the way to Gharb.
We took the owners good restaurant guide book out in the car with us each day and found some amazing restaurants around the Island. As the Island is only 8/9 miles long it didn't take long to get around and the driving was very easy and safe.
We were looking for a quiet retreat to R&R and we got just that. We will definitely be returning.
Paradise in Gozo
located in the quiet village of Gharb, this marvelous house is charming as described. We enjoyed the rustic side of the house with the indonesian decoration touch. The shade in the garden is very appreciated during warm days (very often) as well as the pool....and the shower on the balcony !
Nancy the maid and Lisa the owner are very helpfull and kind.
Highly recommanded !
A perfect October Break
We enjoyed a very relaxing October break with our two young children. They found the house enchanting and we loved staying in a house which was so full of character. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. In fact, every room is very spacious. We had a good balance of tranquility and switching off, whilst the kids enjoyed the swimming pool. Would recommend!
Wonderful Gharb Farmhouse Not To Be Missed!
If you are looking for a wonderful, traditional and spacious farmhouse, then this is the property for you! The property has 4 well sized bedrooms - one double on the ground level, a double on the upper level, a double & single (in one room) on the upper and a HUGE master room with a double, single and cot. There are 4 bathrooms – two on the lower level and two on the upper level, as well as a beautiful hidden outdoor shower on the balcony to the master room not to be missed!
Upon entering the farmhouse there is a small courtyard that connects all the rooms. There is a very large living room, a dining room that seats 8 and an extremely well stocked kitchen. I don't think I have ever stayed anything that quite literally has every last thing you need! Outside in the garden you'll find two hammocks, a large dinning table and the best part – the pool! There were 6 sun loungers and two soft seating in the pagoda. The rear of the property then looked out to extensive farmland and the sea in the very far distance, so you'll be guaranteed not to be disturbed here. The property was well maintained and clean, with an option for additional cleaning during our stay.
The farmhouse is situated in Gharb, a small village 20 minutes north west of Mgarr where the ferry terminal is. A short 5/10 minute walk will bring you to the main church, a few restaurants, supermarkets and the bus stop for local transport. We hired a car for the day to explore the island which I'd recommend, but public transport was just as easy. The main town of Victoria was a 10/15 minute drive from Gharb, so you are never too far from anything.
Lisa who owns the property was super helpful. From my first email enquiry, up until I had arrived home, she was on hand to answer every last question and make the booking process as simple as possible. I wish all owners would be this helpful! We had one small issue with ants in the lower level bedroom, but reported this once we checked out. Other than that, I would recommend the property without hesitation to any family or group of friends wishing to visit Gozo. Thanks for a great stay :)

Activity and Interests
The nearest beach is Dwejra and the Inland Sea which is about 3 kilometres away. The best sandy beaches Ramla and our favourite San Blas (but don't tell anyone) are slightly further away about a 20 minute car journey.
There are some lovely walks in the surrounding area with our favourite which starts from the house and takes you through the valley to the cliff edge and along the cliffs overlooking the great expanse of the Mediterranean. This route and others in the area are great for mountain biking too.
The village core is only a 5 minute walk away with several eateries which are family friendly and very reasonably priced.
Ta Pinu is in walking distance and is worth a visit and is the Crafts Village on the way to San Lawrenz village.
Gozo is just a 20 minute ferry ride from Malta. There are regular flights to Luqa International Airport with most national airlines including AirMalta, British Airways and Ryan Air amongst many.
Once in Malta it is an easy journey to Gozo by taxi or hired car to the ferry terminal about 30 minutes away and then just a 20 minute ferry ride across to Gozo. The house is a 15 minute car journey from the ferry in Gozo.
Further Details:
As well as the sea and sun and relaxation in the summer months, Gozo offers a wonderful selection of activities which might otherwise be overlooked including some lovely country walks from the house. The best time for walks is in Spring and Autumn when the island is greener and more fragrant.
Mountain biking and diving with some of the best dives in Malta and Gozo area also popular. Numerous schools offer PADI courses for both beginners up to advanced divers. There is also some great snorkelling to be had around the island which the children love.
Gozo has some of the best award winning restaurants on the islands which are easily accessible from the house and are only a short drive away. Check out www.restaurantsmalta.com for more info on restaurants.
Opera in Gozo - Gozo has two main theatres the Astra and the Aurora. Both produce an opera each year and bring over foreign singers to sing with local artists.
Feasts - June and July is the Feast Season when a commemoration to the saint is celebrated every year. The five day festivities include the triduum, the eve of the feast, and the feast day itself. Apart from the church services, the celebrations are highlighted by outdoor activities, mainly in the form of band marches and spectacular firework displays. Gharb celebrates its feast in July so is a great time to visit and mix and mingle in all the activities and see the impressive fireworks.
History and Myth -There are two prehistoric structures known as Ggantija. They are the most impressive and well preserved of all the temples in the Maltese Islands. They are believed to be the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. There are numerous tales from the legend of Calypso ensnaring Odysseus in her cave above Ramla Bay, to the legend of San Dimitri in Gharb (the farmhouse looks towards the chapel)

Biotie Regains Asia-Pacific Rights for VAP-1 Antibody Program from Seikagaku
Biotie Therapies and Seikagaku have agreed to terminate their license agreement for Biotie's VAP-1 antibody program, BTT-1023. The decision also nixes Seikagaky's option for Biotie's VAP-1 SSAO small molecule inhibitors.
Biotie had granted Seikagaku exclusive development and commercialization rights in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia in April 2003, and the arrangement was built around Seikagaku's expertise in locomotive diseases. "Based on recently generated exciting data in animal models, we have reprofiled the VAP-1 antibody program to primarily target fibrotic diseases, and this therapeutic focus is no longer aligned with Seikagaku's business strategy," explains Timo Veromaa, CEO of Biotie.
"Regaining the Asia-Pacific rights to BTT-1023 gives us the opportunity to build a fully global development strategy in the fibrosis disease area, which has a high level of unmet medical need," Veromaa notes.
BTT-1023 is a fully human mAb that specifically binds to VAP-1. Biotie previously demonstrated encouraging efficacy and safety for BTT-1023 in early clinical studies in RA and psoriasis patients as well as in a range of preclinical models of inflammatory diseases including COPD plus certain neurological conditions.
More recently, Biotie generated data indicating that VAP-1 also has an important role in fibrotic diseases. This data, generated in part in collaboration with National Institute for Health Research Liver Biomedical Research Unit at the University of Birmingham, reveals significant potential for BTT-1023 in certain niche liver inflammatory fibrotic diseases, the company points out.
The VAP-1 antibody program is Phase II ready, according to Biotie. The company is currently optimizing the scale-up of the manufacturing process for BTT-1023 and expects to start proof-of-concept clinical studies in selected indications in the second half of 2012.

Visit Ibiza anytime I am in the area for the wonderful atmosphere, especially the back garden patio and waterfall, and the yummy selection of tapas and plates. Try the mushroom risotto!
My husband and I visited Ibiza a couple years ago with friends. We thought it was overpriced and not very tasty. Fast forward and I recently received a gift card for Ibiza as a present. My husband and I went to the restaurant in Dec. We were SO delightfully surprised, This time, we asked our server for explanations and suggestions...
We stopped in for a little snack and wine and we were incredibly disappointed!! Sat at the bar as it did not seem too busy and thought that since this was our first visit we could be guided through the process and given some recommendations. We got the cold shoulder, bartender looked as if he was the manager or even...
Ibiza is one of our favorite restaurants in the city. I had reservation booked for the covered patio next to one of the heating units. Our wait person was very helpful, as the new fall menu had just come out that week. The food is always good here but I must say they have outdone themselves with the items on...
I'm sad to say that this place has really gone down hill and I don't see myself coming back. I had been here many times in the past, even held events here, loved the regional wine flights and the many many tapas choices. They are now gone. The wine menu has been cannibalized with pages ripped and torn out. The...
I went there for dinner (November, 2015) - there were very few diners - perhaps 3 or 4 tables were filled (this was a Tuesday night). The menu looks impressive and I ordered the empanadas and the paella. It took about 10 minutes for the first dish to arrive - the empanadas were greasy and had a thick bread covering...
We made reservations for 6 for a coworkers get together. Valet parking for restaurant patrons was easy and convenient. We were seated immediately and took our time reviewing the menu. Maybe too much time as our waitress seemed annoyed. We ordered a pitcher of peach sangria. So good! We ordered both tapas and large plates and everyone was very pleased...
I was invited to dinner in the South Side Flats area of Pittsburgh, PA, and I was offered a choice of Asian or Spanish cuisine. I chose Spanish. This is on E. Carson Street near Binghamton Bridge, and sits adjacent to Mallorca Restaurant. As I preferred an early lighter dinner, I thought tapas would be right. There is a public...
My wife and I tried Ibiza for the first time after driving by it for years. We love the restaurants in South Side and my wife suggested Ibiza - and I found a Groupon too. We had a lovely time - tried the meat and cheese platter, the artichoke dip with pita and the rack of lamp tapas. Everything was...
Went here on the basis of reviews from TA. The place is really more suited for couples and groups of friends and not families (unless with much older kids). The menu is tapas and wines with a few entrees. The tapas were actually really good. We had the cheese plate with hamon Serrano, gambas, beef skewers (super good!), chorizo con...

5.0 stars 19 totalReview Vivien Stark
Posted by anonymous
You are not only a very strong and forceful attorney but also compassionate. Thank you Vivien! I had an extremely vindictive ex-wife and she used the children (typical parental alienation) against me. I am thankful that I had/have Vivien and she realizes I am a good father. Vivien is a very good attorney and also has a conscience and not out to take advantage of a situation. I am happily remarried and we can focus on a bright future because of Vivien.
Posted by monica
Ms. Stark just handled my divorce case, she explained in detail the whole process and was extremely aware of my feelings and the hurtful time one has when it comes to a divorce. The way she handled my case shows her experience and knowledge of matrimonial law. I will completely recommend Ms. Stark for family and divorce cases. I couldn't ever done this without her.
Posted by Jake
Vivien is an excellent lawyer. She is not only knowledgeable of the laws and the system, but also over Judges and lawyers she goes up against. She has an excellent read on others, and keeps calm despite how often I lost my head during "the process."
It took 1.5yrs for Vivien to help me gain custody of my beautiful daughter. Vivien still keeps herself available to answer any questions or concerns I might have. And when it feels the sky is falling, Vivien goes over the laws point by point until I am at ease.
I will use Vivien again and again and would recommend her without a moments hesitation!
Posted by Maria
Vivien is an excellent Lawyer, she handled our case in Family court with great experience. She explained everything about the case in detail so we could understand, she was prompt in returning our calls also.
We won the case !
Posted by Ella
I used Vivien for a child support case. Working with her was an amazing experience. I had gone to other lawyers for a consultation and payed high fees but wasn't satisfied with their suggestions and didn't feel the positive energy I immediately felt with Vivien. After going over all the details of my case she told me what my options were and came up with a plan that made total sense and followed through with it. The office staff was pleasant to deal with. My calls were returned promptly and all questions and concerns were handled in a patient and competent way.
I am deeply grateful for everything she did for me and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.
Posted by Max
Vivien handled my case from end to end, while keeping it within my budget, and setting realistic expectations.
My case was involving interstate child support, divorce and child custody (with some very compacted twists).
She got to know my case very well, did an outstanding representation and subsequently won it.
I'm very glad that I've chosen Vivien to work on my case.
Posted by ELIZABETH
I am Thanking Vivien Stark and her staff for helping me with my difficult divorce.
Vivien Stark and her assistants not only gave me the most professional service but they helped me with professional care. Ms. Stark encouraged me to keep the faith and that she will handle all my needs. Her staff I have to say we're very attentive to my needs. The mannerism I loved from Ms. Stark's company, I started with Ms. Starks company about 9 months ago and was completely done with my divorce. I am very impressed with Ms. Stark and her company and was very happy with the price that was quoted to me, I also have to say Ms. Stark's company was very reasonable because Ms. Starks company was also able to give me a payment installment.
Posted by Natalie
I have been represented by Vivien Stark for 8 years in an extremely complicated, from every point of view, case. Child support, visitation, abuse, medical mistreatment - you name it. I can't praise this attorney highly enough. She's very smart, dedicated, knowledgable, and well-respected in the court rooms. Vivien always comes 100% prepared for the hearings; she is very honest, detail-oriented and thorough. Ms. Stark fights fiercely for her clients putting all her knowledge and dedication into her cases. Legal fees for that level of legal work and representation are very reasonable.
Posted by anonymous
I used Vivien for a prenuptial agreement less than a year ago, and I was more than pleased with the results.
I was dealing with a fragile situation and had no idea what to do. Vivien quickly came up with a course of action, and was always prepared and knowledgeable at every turn. She took the time to answer all my questions in a way I could understand the agreement and my options, when my previous lawyer did not.
She was a strong advocate for me without being overly confrontational in the process. This was key for my particular situation and her extra care made it a pleasure for everyone involved. She is the most genuine lawyer I have yet to encounter, and was fair with all her hours and rates.
Overall I am grateful for all her help and would recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer in her field.
Thanks again Vivien!
Posted by anonymous
Vivien Stark, is the worst lawyer in the world. This lawyer was hired at an extremely high $400 per hour rate after reading her friends and co-workers reviews all trumpeting her. The first problem I should have realized afer traveling 1200 miles to get visitation with my son is that she did not "serve" the mother of my son properly, thus the case was rescheduled (my travel wasted) although I absolutely told her to be sure that the mother of my son got it properly and legally.
Next, while sitting outside the court room upon the first hearing the mother of my son approached me with retalitory child support increases, as well as false accusations of restraining orders to be "served" on me. Ms. Stark turned her head and looked the other way without speaking up for the mother not to approach me. Ms. Stark was certain to remind me during multiple proceedings that the process was to be long and costly.
She bills for nearly every paper or email however doesNOT tell you when she recieves important documents from you thus causing you to call her and be billed. I started out simply wanting to have a simple visitation with my son, I even begged for supervised visitation, finally I was denied even a phone call with my son. Ms. Stark, did nothing to convince the court, nothing to proactively defend me, turned her head in the air most the time, and finally when the judge asked her to make a motion to dismiss an unfounded restraining order, Ms. Stark refused as I pleaded with her to agree with the jusdge.
Later, outside the court she told my family and me that "she was not retained to do that"..apprently she only wants money and does NOT look out for her clients. Nearly a year later I had to give up on seeing my son, overwhelmed with the handling of cases I had to handle on my own.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
The bulldogs that come through our rescue program are seldom in "perfect" condition in terms of health, temperament or both; however with a little love, medical attention and time, rescued English Bulldogs dogs make great companions.
IEBR does not find dogs for people – our mission is to find great people for wonderful dogs.
Adoption fee for dogs under age One: $700 - $950
Adoption fee for dogs One year to Five years: $500 - $700
Adoption fee for dogs Five years to Eight years: $300 - $500
Adoption fee for senior dogs ages Nine and over : $300 or lower
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Music genres
Other (10408 ) Latin (1087 ) Rock (8554 ) Folk: Ethnic (672 )
Spanish and Catalan singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat i Teresa was born on December 27, 1943 in Barcelona, Spain. He has become one of the most important figures in the Spanish music. He began his music career playing in the band that covered the Beatles' songs and popular Italian songs translated in Spanish. As a solo artist, he debuted on the stage in 1967 and became very popular in the Nova cançó movement in Catalonia. His popularity grew up and the next year he was sent to the Eurovision contest to represent Spain. However, he was replaced by another artist as he wanted to sing in Catalan language and that was forbidden by Franco regime. He had to leave Spain in 1974 and returned only after Franco's death. One of his most popular songs is "Mediterráneo". You can download the same-titled album by Joan Manuel Serrat in mp3 from our site.

A soloist who stood alone
Was blessed with a companion,
He was brave and he was strong,
A cheeky voice made him more handsome;
He played the dance nobody knew,
He swept her off her feet,
Into her heart, new melodies sewed,
Ones of the pleasures of defeat;
With poetry he was renown,
Like acting, the words knew how to flow,
Most magical was the sound
Of his voice that wove through
The still-waiting air,
With a tune bright on his lips,
Pitches tighter than a stare,
Light dripping from his fingertips.
The frosty room, coated in glee,
Hanging by its paper-chains,
Was where he let her soul fly free,
Whilst, open-handed, he took her reins;
It's snowflakes dancing in his glow,
All full of cheer when his eyes glint,
Once perfectly in life's row,
Now thrown forward at just one hint;
He led the Lyre into his palms,
She twirled about his bidding,
Amongst them both were the psalms
Of joy, making a home to live in.
Whilst their music did not have a link,
There was still time to grow
From fallen things, now from the brink,
Companionship began to show;
Musing, laughing, they played the game,
A truth they began to see,
Despite their icy, knowing shame,
Their romance was soft harmony.
A soloist who stood alone
Was blessed with a companion,
He was brave and he was strong,
A cheeky voice made him more handsome.
He bore her Christ through murky waters,
Even when she would step away;
Her devious lies he also bore, her
Melodies he let into his fray,
In poetry stood with her in hand,
Beautiful in her own right,
The jagged voice of the gentle lamb,
To surround that tongue of night.
As the decorations heaved to break,
They had much more to hold,
Like the curls splintered about her neck,
The colour of lametta gold.
