Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The area is quiet and peaceful, even though it is convenient to the main road. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would have liked to have spent more time here as it was very relaxing. We had visited Colditz Castle for the day and thought this was a better location to stay the night. Nothing.
Very good atmosphere - very comfortable & friendly efficient staff - would stay again if in the area Nothing to dislike !!!
Very comfortable accommodation. Most helpful staff. Easy access from the motorway, but also in a most pleasant suburban area with good access to public transport and easy access to "nature" Did not like is to strong a word. It would have been helpful, if there had been a telephone in the room, however, this was solved by kind staff allowing me to use their mobile phone as mine could not receive.
Very comfortable .
Comfortable , quiet and a very good breakfast . Limited menu in the resturant .
Only had WIFI in reception area
Room was clean and comfortable. No hot water in afternoon. "Takes a long time to run through". 5 minutes +? Waited 45mins in eveing for simple pasta dish in restaurant. Breakfast advertised as starting at 7am but not out on tables until 7.15am when I had to leave at 7.30am.
had a good evening meal for reasonable price, very good choice at breakfast buffet eventhough there didn't seem to be that many guests staying at the time. clean, comfortable and spatious room.
Beautiful location, well situated for visiting both the old town and the lake, exceptionally helpful and welcoming staff, relaxed but smart ambioence,and generous and varied breakfast buffet. I liked everything about the hotel, but for travellers arriving from the station (as will be obvious from the location map) it is quite a walk - well worth the effort!
Clean room and bathroom, good food in restaurant, friendly staff. They woke me up on time. No internet in room although I understood there was when booking. Room is very basic, old furniture and old TV, but they all worked. Bathroom - smell of smoke even though it was a no smoking room.
Very clean and quiet, friendly staff, a minute's walk from the station. Good value Greek restaurant next door. Altenburg is a real find: a well preserved old town and castle and handy for Leipzig and Zwickau
Friendly, helpful staff. Good sized rooms.
We were close to the station for onward travel which is what we wanted The pillow were too soft!!!!
Clean stylish friendly
Friendly staff, good location No really bad points found
Nice modern hotel, friendly and helpful service, Close to bus and train stations.
We didn't stay for very long but it was very pleasant. The breakfast was good. .
Hotel is very near to the railway station in the road to the left side of the shopping centre opposite. It is also next to numerous bus stops. Hotel was clean and quiet. Girl on reception very helpful. It is about 15-20 minutes bus journey from the airport which cost 3.50 euros each way. Restaurant adjacent to the hotel could have had menu in English and other languages for tourists. Nothing around hotel at night. No english speaking channels on the television. No safe in the room. There is a chinese restaurant within 2 minutes walk but the menu is only in German.
Location of hotel and helpfulness of the staff
Reception staff very helpful. Location of hotel excellent for bus from airport and for train station for trips to Leipzig. Bar seemed to have variable opening times.
Our welcome was first class, we were shown to our secure undercover parking for our motorcycles The owner who spoke very good English and is a biker himself then showed us to our room which was both spacious and very clean. Breakfast was excellent sat on the balcony as the weather was hot, the small town is a five walk away which on a hot day as it was has a fantastic outdoor swimming pool.
on arrival,we were a bit late but what a welcome wow,the rooms,massive,the breakfast plentiful,with fresh fruit eaten in a conservatory,,subject to weather, the shower and bathroom, sparkling (the shower hard to leave) the staff,friendly and help-ful,oh,if the weather fine,eating al -fresco,I should add,altogether a pleasant week-end not a lot to do in the evenings,but a real handy pub on site
This hotel was clean and friendly with good size rooms. The location was quiet and there was a private car park for the hotel.The owners spoke good english. Breakfast was good. There is no restaurant or bar, but there is a small bar next door. A small town with not much happening, but a good location to travel around from.
Location N/A
Ideally situated for old town centre and town attractions whicgh are all within close walking distance. Nice large, comfortable, clean room. Good, if not exceptional, breakfasts with cooked options. Proprietors and staff helpful and courteous. Hotel represents an excellent base for sightseeing, not just the beautiful town of Altenburg but also the nearby magnificent city of Leipzig which is only 40 minutes away by train (27 Euro return). Regrettably time did not permit a visit to Dresden which is slightly further away than Leipzig but also readily reachable by train via Chemnitz. Although all rooms are ensuite, only one has a bath, all others are shower only. Room decor and furnishings somewhat basic for four star hotel.
The Hotel was excellent with very good food and in the centre of town.
Friendly, warm, staff. Spacious room, well equipped. Excellent location, quiet. Good restaurant. Altenburg is an attractive town, the hotel is central.
Very nice and relaxing. Friendly and helpful staff. very good value for money. Would visit again.
The owners were very helpful for the extra bits we needed, It was also good to be able to choose when to have breakfast.
The hotel location is peaceful, the parking is free and in front of the hotel, Wi Fi i s slow but is free and useful. Good breakfast. Room does not feel really clean. I found dog hair on the moquette and bed sheet does not feel really clean. The hotel people have great difficulties in speaking english and it can be a great problem in certain situation. They don't answer mails.
the hospitality of the hotel staff

I was able to get this going with ease for a project on my bike. I'm using a pretty hefty battery and the 12V inverter. Still working on how to mount the wires in a pretty way.
EL Wire on a Bike
The biggest problem I had was a lot of EL wire I previously had didn't use JST connectors.
Next, I need a project box that this should mount onto. Any suggestions?

chart plotters
I have both a laptop and a chartplotter (Raymarine SL72RC+ radar/chartplotter) on board. I generally only use the laptop at anchor or under benign conditions. Laptops are not waterproof, and they''re far too expensive to risk getting splashed. Even below at the chart table that''s a risk. So, the laptop is safely stored away in its bag while underway.
It''s much better to have the chartplotter right at the helm (something you''d never risk with a laptop). When getting in and out of harbors in Maine last summer this came in very handy. There are a lot of unmarked shoals. With WAAS one tends to look at the chartplotter to see depth and distance from shoals, rather than the depth guage. Accuracy is that good.
Laptops now have 1024x768 resolution in color. My Raymarine is 320x240 (the Raymarine color units are 640x480). There''s a huge difference in resolution. The Color Raymarines are much nicer, but also $1000 more, and still not quite as good as a laptop.
It''s tough to plan routes with the 320x240 resolution, although doable. The solution I''ve developed is to plan routes for the next day at night on the laptop, and then upload waypoints to the chartplotter at night while at anchor (Raymarine visibility much better at night when backlit).
As I use the laptop at home as well the incremental cost of this solution was minimal.
chart plotters
Just a few thoughts - since I''m considering the same:
- PC will probably have a higher amp draw
- PC represents significantly more components to potentially degrade due to rust
- PC screens tend to show poorly in bright sunlight
- If you need to mount the chartplotter at the helm, a PC is a poor substitute for a rugged Garmin product.
chart plotters
I am about to upgrade an old Garmin system and I have been told that it is better to have a PC based system that can be used on a PDA or laptop than to use a chart plotter.

No slop for water hogs • Utah legislators were acting responsibly when they rejected a proposal to earmark a portion of Utah's sales tax revenue to help pay for a $1 billion-plus pipeline to pump water uphill from Lake Powell to Washington County. Rep. Patrick Painter, R-Nephi, warned his colleagues on the taxation committee that they will wish they had taken the action. It's more likely lawmakers would regret taking tax money from other necessary state services and pumping it into this boondoggle. Even with statewide taxpayer support, shrinking population growth in the St. George area means there would be fewer users to pay the remaining cost. Water fees should go up, in any case, so that consumers, especially the water hogs in southern Utah but also those on the Wasatch Front, recognize that water is scarce and likely to get scarcer. A pipeline into Lake Powell could easily run dry in coming decades.
The high cost of killing • The death certificate for executed Utah prison inmate Ronnie Lee Gardner listed the cause of death as a slaying. The people of the Beehive State are the perpetrators in the deaths of convicted criminals on death row, and they pay the cost of killing them. For Gardner, taxpayers forked out $1.6 million more than they would have paid to keep him in prison for life without possibility of parole. Rep. Steve Handy, R-Layton, is taking the right step toward starting a discussion on capital punishment by asking for an analysis of the costs of court appeals and execution compared to life in prison. But the debate shouldn't stop there. Other questions: Does capital punishment deter other criminals? Is retribution worth the cost, and do most Utahns even favor the idea of revenge? And what of the possibility that the innocent may be executed? Utah should be seeking answers.
Busy work for schools • Utah legislators spend far too much time thinking up ways to add to the workload of Utah school districts. The latest, to require schools to account for all expenditures and provide detailed reports on the existing transparency website isn't the worst, but it would be just another unfunded mandate to divert resources needed for education to unnecessary paperwork. It's an understatement to say that Utah public schools are not rolling in dough. But if legislators fear money is being wasted, they should provide funding so school staffers can spend more time on the reports. And they should be willing to acknowledge what is more likely to be found: that schools, rather than being inefficient, are indeed stretched far too thin.

Saturday's $1-million Travers Stakes (gr. I) drew a field of seven Wednesday morning, with some interesting scenarios developing from the post position order. The winner of the "Mid Summer Derby" likely will take over the top spot in the 3-year-old division, and establish himself as one of the top contenders for the Breeders' Cup Classic – Powered by Dodge (gr. I).With Haskell Invitational (gr. I) winner Lion Heart drawing post 2 and Jim Dandy (gr. II) winner Purge right alongside in post 3, there shouldn't be any surprises how the early part of the 10-furlong race will unfold. Lion Heart, with Joe Bravo aboard, should have the lead all to himself, with Purge and John Velazquez tracking him in second. How well Purge settles and when Velazquez decides to pull the trigger will dictate the running of the race.Nick Zito entered three horses, and all three will line up next to each other. Sir Shackleton, winner of the West Virginia Derby (gr. III), will break from post 4, with Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Birdstone and Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) winner The Cliff's Edge in posts 5 and 6, respectively.That leaves the two longshots – Eddington and Suave – completing the field from posts 1 and 7, respectively.Purge's trainer, Todd Pletcher, said he'd rather have more time between races for his colt, but he's satisfied with his training and feels he's up to the task."I wish we had more time, but that's the way it is," Pletcher said. "As a rule, most horses are going to run more consistently and better with time in between races. We like to give our horses four or five weeks in between races; it seems to be a strong stat for us. Occasionally, you have to step out of that when there are big opportunities like this and he obviously has an affinity for this track. We've got to give it a try."PP; Horse; Trainer; Jockey; Odds
1 -- Eddington/Mark Hennig/Richard Migliore, 15-1
2 -- Lion Heart/Patrick Biancone/Joe Bravo, 3-1
3 -- Purge/Todd Pletcher/John Velazquez, 2-1
4 -- Sir Shackleton/Nick Zito/Rafael Bejarano, 10-1
5 -- Birdstone/Nick Zito/Edgar Prado, 3-1
6 -- The Cliff's Edge/Nick Zito/Shane Sellers, 7-2

Santa Monica high wrestling coach reinstated
SANTA MONICA (CNS) - A Santa Monica High School science teacher who was placed on leave after being caught on video fighting with a student he had confronted about drugs in class will be back at work today.
Mark Black, who is also the school's wrestling coach, was placed on paid leave after the April 4 confrontation, which led to the arrests of two students. The move sparked outrage among some parents and students who have been rallying in support of Black.
A Facebook page created to support the teacher has been ``liked'' by more than 23,700 people.
"Based on what we have learned, it is appropriate to return Mr. Black from paid administrative leave at this time,'' Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Sandra Lyon said on Friday.
District officials said they expect to receive an investigator's report on the fight by the middle of this week.
Lyon noted that because the school has been on spring break for two weeks, Black has not missed any time in the classroom.
"I want to make it very clear that Mark Black was not fired or suspended from his job; he was simply placed on leave with pay during the investigation,'' Lyon said.
Lyon came under criticism for comments she made in the days after the classroom confrontation, with some saying she had jumped to conclusions about Black's actions, which she called ``unacceptable.'' She later apologized and said placing Black on leave was standard procedure.
Members of the district's board echoed that sentiment Friday, saying that placing Black on leave was not a determination he had done anything wrong.
``Mr. Black is a valued coach and educator and we owed him due process protections while the independent investigation was conducted,'' board Vice President Ralph Mechur said. ``We have honored that obligation.''
Two students were arrested in the aftermath of the fight, which was caught on cell phone video.
Blair Moore, 18, was charged with two counts of threatening a public school official, possession of a box cutter on school grounds, possession of marijuana on school grounds and force or violence against a school employee, all misdemeanors. He pleaded not guilty and is free on his own recognizance, due back in court Tuesday.
A 16-year-old student was also arrested. His name was not released due to his age.
Black can be seen on cellphone video grappling with a student he had apparently confronted about having marijuana.
No punches were thrown, but Black can eventually be seen on the video with his arms locked around the student's legs, on the classroom floor.
District officials said they plan to undertake a pair of policy reviews in response to the fight and the response to it. A committee of school and district officials will review policies and procedures for dealing with ``non-compliant'' students.
Santa Monica High School principal Eva Mayoral will convene a panel including administrators, parents, students and employers to ``discuss the issues and assertions that emerged as a result of this incident,''
``It is imperative that this committee addresses these issues thoughtfully, collaboratively and quickly so that we can take some positive steps immediately and factor their suggestions into the next school year at Samohi,'' Mayoral said.
'`We must engage in a constructive, productive dialogue that will move us forward as a united school community, ensure greater campus safety and assist in maintaining the positive, supportive school culture we so value at Samohi.''

"The GOP elite wants candidates to be silent about their views on marriage and other social issues, but election results show that is exactly the wrong thing to do." — Brian Brown, NOM president —
Washington, D.C. — The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today congratulated Governor Chris Christie on his reelection and harshly criticized the Republican Party's national leadership for failing to adequately support Ken Cuccinelli, which they said is the primary reason for his narrow loss.
"NOM congratulates Chris Christie on his solid reelection win yesterday," said Brian Brown, NOM's president. "While we have disagreed with some of his decisions in office, Christie has been a strong supporter of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Ken Cuccinelli also is an outspoken supporter of traditional marriage, but his race was woefully shortchanged by the national Republican leadership, and that's the main reason he narrowly lost."
Cuccinelli nearly pulled an upset in the Virginia governor's race against Democrat Terry McAuliffe despite being outspent by at least $14 million.
"Too many leaders of the Republican Party have drunk the Kool-Aid of the consulting class that they should abandon conservatives like Ken Cuccinelli because they have taken principled stances on social issues such as preserving marriage and protecting life," said Brown. "How many elections do they need to lose before they realize they are implementing a disastrous election strategy and ruining their chances of success?"
Brown noted that when the marriage issue has been on the ballot, it has outpolled the Republican ticket by a significant margin. Support for traditional marriage polled an average of seven points higher than Mitt Romney did in the four states it was on the ballot in 2012.
"The GOP elite wants candidates to be silent about their views on marriage and other social issues, but election results show that is exactly the wrong thing to do," Brown said. "Election after election has shown that voters across America, including in deep blue states, support traditional marriage by a significantly higher margin than they support the GOP. For the second election in a row, Republican leaders and consultants have pursued a flawed strategy of urging silence on social issues that has cost their candidates. If they don't wake up, they could face disaster next year."
To schedule an interview with Brian Brown, President of the National Organization for Marriage, please contact Elizabeth Ray (x130), [email protected], or Matille Thebolt (x143), [email protected], at 703-683-5004.

Chloe Moretz: Bicycle Babe on the "If I Stay" Set
Having a blast while working on her new project, Chloe Moretz showed up to film scenes for "If I Stay" in Vancouver, Canada on Wednesday (November 13).
The "Carrie" actress looked to be enjoying herself as she tooled around the outdoor location on a bicycle, though she seems to have forgotten her helmet!
Of her role in the flick, Chloe told press she felt a lot of pressure to make sure she did her research so as not to disappoint the book's fans.
"The readers are very serious about me and Adam, and they really need that palpable relationship, and for me, I just want to go in there and create that relationship with Jamie. It's that young love, and you have to capture that feeling."

Arsène Wenger knows that Arsenal will need a flawless defensive display to fend off Barcelona on Tuesday.
The Frenchman takes his team to the Nou Camp this week for the decisive leg of a Champions League last-16 tie that his side leads 2-1 after a thrilling victory at Emirates Stadium last month.
Arsenal lost 4-1 in Barcelona last season to succumb 6-3 on aggregate in the Quarter-Finals but, on that occasion, Wenger was without two centre backs plus his strongest defensive midfielder, Alex Song.
Thomas Vermaelen will not be fit in time for Tuesday but Wenger should have more options this time and he thinks it could make the difference. Not that Arsenal will look to sit on their slender advantage.
"It will be very important for us to defend well because when you go to the most effective attacking team in the world, you want to have your best defenders available," he said.
"We will look to defend well and attack well. We are not a team that will refuse to attack, we know that.
"The challenge will be to find the right balance between having a team who can defend, as well as one that has a good opportunity, every time it has the ball, to go forward."

I had 2 syringes of Radiesse in each cheek to give volume and the illusion of high cheekbones January 2007. Since then, it has decreased very little. I recently had pictures taken March 2009 and noticed that my face looks almost the same 2 years later, as it did the day I got the injections.
My doctor asked the Radiesse sales rep and told him about my situation and he said that they have never heard of anything like that happening before and that Radiesse usually goes down within 1 1/2 years. I do NOT like how it looks and want it to go down. The area "pushes up" underneath my eyes and makes my smile difficult and "fake looking." My face is uneven. Any advice from doctors on what to do?

Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet in the U.K., at its retail location in the Westfield Stratford shopping center which would point to the U.S. introduction of the device on Wednesday. And if that isn't enough of a clue for you budding Detectives, earlier this month the manufacturer said it would be launching the device globally during August. Actually, late last month, there was speculation that August 15th could bring an introduction of the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1.
The Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 is equipped with a 10.1 inch Super PLS LCD display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a surprisingly low pixel density of 149ppi. Under the hood is a quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor (the Exynos 4412 if you must know). 2GB of RAM is on board along with 64GB of native storage which can be enhanced by using the 32GB capacity microSD slot. On back is a 5MP camera with LED flash and AF which can capture video in 720p. A 7000mAh battery should have no problem keeping the lights on, and the tablet supports Samsung's reportedly improved S-Pen. The Korean tech titan even throws in Adobe's Photoshop Touch app for your doodling pleasure, and Android 4.0 is installed out of the box.
The festivities begin at 11am EDT Wednesday.

Sydney is an ocean city, and its beaches are among the best in the world. Take a stroll along the clifftops between Bondi and Coogee Beaches, scanning the ocean views, and stopping for a swim or a meal along the way.
Start your tour at the northern end of Bondi Beach; to get there take bus 380 or 389 from Circular Quay. From Campbell Parade, wander down Ramsgate Avenue to the (1) panoramic lookout at the end of the street. Survey Australia's most famous beach and the craggy cliffs jutting south to Coogee.
From the lookout the track heads down along the rocks onto (2) Bondi Beach, but if the sea is rough, backtrack along Ramsgate Avenue instead. There are strong currents and rips at Bondi that aren't always obvious. If you feel like a swim, stay between the red and yellow flags where the professional lifeguards can keep an eye on you.
After you've dried off, visit the (3) Bondi Pavilion (Queen Elizabeth Drive; www.waverley.nsw.gov.au/things_to_do/places_of_interest/bondi_pavilion). Built in 1928 in the Mediterranean style, the pavilion serves as a cultural center, hosting concerts, performances, exhibitions, and movie screenings. There's a crop of good restaurants here too.
If you're in Bondi on a Sunday, the (4) Bondi Markets (corner of Campbell Parade and Warners Avenue; www.bondimarkets.com.au) will be underway at the Bondi Beach Public School. Browse the trestles for vintage clothing, secondhand books, jewelry, and retro records.
Bondi's main commercial strip is (5) Campbell Parade, which mimics the arc of the beach. Here you'll find surf shops, hole-in-the-wall juice bars, sushi stalls, and quality restaurants. Bondi locals are a strange mix of laid-back and highly fashionable: everyone from backpackers to surfers, models, and suit-wearing business people.
At the southern end of Campbell Parade, veer left onto Notts Avenue and the classy (6) Bondi Icebergs (One Notts Avenue; www.icebergs.com.au) restaurant. At the end of the street the cliff-top trail begins. Cut into the sandstone, the pathway is popular with joggers, dog walkers, and hand-holding couples.
Heading south, the first beach you'll come to is (7) Tamarama Beach, also know as "Glamarama" for the beautiful crowds it attracts. Next up is (8) Bronte Beach, which has a string of low-key eateries and a family atmosphere. At the southern end of the beach are the (9) Bronte Sea Baths (Bronte Road), where you can swim without having to contend with waves or surfers.
Continuing south, the track winds past the (10) Waverley Cemetery (St. Thomas Street; www1.waverley.nsw.gov.au/cemetery/). The residents here have some of the best views in Sydney.
The trail then winds through Burrows Park onto (11) Clovelly Beach, a great spot for swimming and snorkeling.
Follow the path along Cliffbrook Parade to (12) Gordons Bay, continuing through Dunningham Park to finish up at impressive (13) Coogee Beach (Arden Street). From Coogee, bus 372, 373, or 374 will take you back to the city.

FEATURE-Egypt's Nile cruises docked, awaiting tourism recovery
* Tourism key revenue earner for battered Egypt economy
* Sector eyes hand-over to civilian rulers for rebound
* Hit on tourism means more unemployment, late salaries
By Dina Zayed
ASWAN, Egypt, Oct 19 (Reuters) - The newly launched Al-Hambra cruise ship sailed only twice on the Nile before President Hosni Mubarak was toppled in February and has been docked since then on the banks of the river, its plush fittings gathering dust awaiting the return of tourists.
Aswan, the site of majestic pharaonic ruins and one of the most famous stops on Egypt's Nile cruises, has few of the tourists who normally throng its tree-lined river banks. Instead, dozens of ships are moored waiting for customers.
Of the more than 300 cruise liners usually touring this section of the world's longest river, part of a tourist industry that is a major source of revenue in Egypt, not more than 40 are still setting sail, operators say.
"I'm keeping the boat open just to pay salaries, but not to make profit because that's not going to happen anytime soon," Albert Zakaria, manager of one of the operating cruises, Beau Soleil, moored behind the deserted ship, told Reuters.
Like many, Zakaria accepts he has to pay the bills and salaries even without revenues, so as to be ready once tourists return. He is not sure when that will be. Continued...

Nicaragua is largely overlooked by the Spanish during their conquest of the Americas in the 16th Century, becoming a colonial backwater. The declaration of the country's independence in 1838 brings little stability as the United States and Britain vie for influence. The US marines enter the country in 1909 to help drive the anti-US dictator José Santos Zelaya from power. They return in 1912, remaining in the country almost continually until 1933. On their departure Anastasio Somoza García, the director of the National Guard (the national police force established by the US), begins to lay the groundwork for his ascent to power. He organises the assassination of the resistance leader Augusto César Sandino and the annihilation of Sandino's guerrilla army. In December 1936 Somoza García is elected president. More background.
Born on 5 December 1925 in Leon, Nicaragua. He is the second son of Somoza García.
He attends school in Florida and then La Salle Military Academy on Long Island, New York, after which he pursues a career in the military, graduating from West Point on 6 June 1946.
1937 - After his election as president, Somoza García appoints family members and close associates to key positions within the government and the military. He has absolute control of his party, the Liberal Nationalist Party, and the National Guard and is supported by the US. The National Guard comes to control most government-owned enterprises, including the national radio and telegraph networks, the postal and immigration services, health services, the internal revenue service, and the national railroads.
1938 - Somoza García manipulates the government to increase his power as president and to remove the constitutional ban on presidential reelection, extending his term for another eight years.
1940s - During the Second World War the Nicaraguan economy booms on the back of primary produce exports to support the US war effort, but most of the profits go into the pockets of Somoza García and his cronies. German properties are confiscated then sold to Somoza García and his family at ridiculously low prices. By the late 1940s Somoza García is Nicaragua's largest landholder, owning most of the country's cattle ranches and coffee plantations. He also owns or controls all banks, the national railroad, the national airlines, a cement factory, textile plants, several large electric power companies, and extensive rental property in the cities. By the end of the war his personal wealth is estimated at US$60 million.
1947 - When opposition to Somoza García grows locally and in the US he withdraws from presidential elections but has a series of cronies installed, remaining in power behind the scenes and in control of the National Guard, a pattern that he will exploit until his reelection as president in 1955.
1955 - Anastasio Somoza Debayle is made commander of the National Guard.
1956 - Somoza García is fatally wounded on 21 September by Rigoberto López Pérez, a 27-year-old Nicaraguan poet, dying eight days later. Luis Somoza Debayle, his older son and director of the National Guard, immediately assumes the post of president. Somoza García's younger son, Anastasio Somoza Debayle, takes over as National Guard director, launching a major reprisal campaign during which political opponents are tortured and imprisoned, the press is censored and civil liberties are suspended.
1957 - The Somoza brothers create a puppet opposition party, the National Conservative Party to lend credibility to presidential elections, won by Luis Somoza Debayle. The credibility of Luis Somoza Debayle's presidency is further bolstered when he restores the constitutional ban on reelection.
1959 - Luis Somoza Debayle's anticommunist stance wins his government support from the US, a position that is strengthened when he condemns the revolution in Cuba and accuses Fidel Castro of attempting to overthrow the Nicaraguan Government.
1961 - The government of Luis Somoza Debayle plays a leading role in the attempted 'Bay of Pigs' invasion of Cuba, allowing a brigade of Cuban exiles to use military bases on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast to launch the abortive attack.
1963 - The Somoza brothers take a leaf out of their father's book, installing trusted friends of the Somoza family in the presidency from 1963 until 1967.
1967 - Anastasio Somoza Debayle is elected president in February, two months before his brother dies of a heart attack. Somoza Debayle remains as director of the National Guard, giving him absolute political and military control over Nicaragua. As corruption and political repression increases opposition to the regime grows, igniting a spiralling cycle of response and counter-response that threatens to destroy the country's economy and society.
1971 - With his four-year term as president nearly at an end, Somoza Debayle amends the constitution to allow him to stay in power until 1972.
1972 - Somoza Debayle negotiates an agreement installing a three-member junta to rule until 1974. He remains as commander of the National Guard. Opposition to Somoza Debayle begins to mount in the general community, in the press (led by Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Cardenal and his newspaper La Prensa), and in the Roman Catholic Church (led by Archbishop Miguel Obando y Bravo). On 23 December an earthquake destroys the capital Managua, leaving about 10,000 dead and 50,000 families homeless. The subsequent looting of the city by the National Guard and revelation that the Somoza family and members of the National Guard are embezzling most of the international aid for the victims of the disaster turns almost all political figures against the regime, a development that is only strengthened by the country's rapid economic decline. Martial law is declared and Somoza Debayle is made chief executive of the government. He responds to the mounting opposition with increased political repression and further censorship of the media.
1974 - Despite opposition from within his own party, Somoza Debayle runs for and wins presidential elections held in September. On 27 December the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), an armed Marxist revolutionary organisation named after Augusto César Sandino and operating in rural areas, seize the home of a former government official and take as hostages a handful of leading Nicaraguan officials, many of whom are Somoza relatives.
The guerrilla's prestige soars when they successfully negotiate a US$1 million ransom, have a government declaration read over the radio and printed in La Prensa, and get 14 FSLN prisoners released from jail and flown to Cuba along with the kidnappers. Somoza Debayle responds with further censorship, intimidation, torture and murder.
The FSLN has strong links with the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvenoi Bezopasnosti - the Soviet secret police force) and the KGB is involved in the planning of most FSLN operations.
1975 - Somoza Debayle and the National Guard launch a violent campaign against the FSLN. A state of siege is imposed, the press censored and all opponents threatened with detention and torture. Individuals suspected of collaborating with the FSLN are targeted. The country begins the descent into civil war.
1977 - In September, under pressure from the administration of US President Jimmy Carter, Somoza Debayle lifts the state of siege. Antigovernment protests and demonstrations resume. In October a group of prominent Nicaraguan business people and academics known as Los Doce (the Group of Twelve) form an anti-Somoza alliance and establish ties with the FSLN.
1978 - On 10 January Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Cardenal, the publisher of the newspaper La Prensa, is assassinated, leading to mass demonstrations against the regime. A nationwide strike begins on 23 January, with participants demanding the end of Somoza Debayle's dictatorship. The National Guard increases repression and Somoza Debayle proclaims his intent to stay on in power until the end of his presidential term in 1981. As the strike wears on over two weeks the FSLN launch a series of attacks throughout the country.
In February the US suspends all military assistance to the regime. Somoza Debayle then turns to the international market to procure arms and equipment, reportedly sourced from Israel, at further cost to an economy already suffering from a flight of capital, lack of investment, inflation and high unemployment. Political opposition to the regime continues to grow. The Broad Opposition Front (FAO) comprising four opposition groups, including Los Doce, is formed in May and tries to reach a negotiated solution with Somoza Debayle.
On 22 August the FSLN takes over the national palace and holds almost 2,000 government officials and members of Congress hostage for two days. In a humiliating defeat that inspires the opposition and demoralises the National Guard, Somoza Debayle is forced to meet most of the rebels demands, including the release of 60 FSLN guerrillas from prison, media dissemination of an FSLN declaration, a US$500,000 ransom, and safe passage for the hostage takers to Panama and Venezuela.
The FSLN is further strengthened in December when Cuban mediation leads to an agreement among the group's three factions for a united Sandinista front. Formal unification of the FSLN occurs in March 1979.
Meanwhile, with the FAO unable to secure a negotiated solution, the insurrection escalates. Further blows to the regime come at the end of the year when the Organisation of American States Inter-American Commission on Human Rights publishes a report accusing the National Guard of numerous violations of human rights and when the United Nations (UN) passes a resolution condemning the Nicaraguan Government.
1979 - The FSLN establishes the National Patriotic Front, a coalition supported by Los Doce and elements from the FAO and the business sector, on 1 February.
The battle-readiness of the FSLN forces is meanwhile improved by arms shipments from Venezuela, Panama and Cuba, mostly through Costa Rica.
An offensive launched in May sees the FSLN overcome the National Guard across the country. By the end of June all of Nicaragua is under FSLN control except the capital, where Somoza Debayle remains. Facing certain defeat, Somoza Debayle resigns as president on 17 July and flees to Miami then Paraguay. Many members of the National Guard also flee the country, seeking asylum in neighbouring countries, particularly Honduras and Guatemala.
The FSLN and other members of the revolutionary force enter Managua on 19 July, signalling the end of the war. An estimated 50,000 Nicaraguans have died during the conflict, 120,000 are exiled and 600,000 homeless. The country's economy is in ruins and foreign debt amounts to US$1.6 billion. A five-member junta formed to govern the country initially has the support of most of the population, but as the FSLN works to consolidate its power cracks begin to appear.
1980 - On 17 September Somoza Debayle is assassinated while in exile in Asunción, Paraguay. He dies from gunshot fired into his Mercedes Benz motorcar by a group of leftist guerrillas led by Enrique Gorriaran Merlo.
1981 - Claiming that Nicaragua, with assistance from Cuba and the Soviet Union, is providing arms to guerrillas in El Salvador, the administration of US President Ronald Reagan begins a campaign to isolate the FSLN. All US aid to the country is suspended and funding and training is provided to right-wing 'Contra' rebels operating from neighbouring Honduras. The Contras, who are mostly former members of the National Guard, also reportedly receive arms and assistance from Israel.
The FSLN responds by restricting civil liberties and increasing spending on the new national army, the Sandinista People's Army (Ejército Popular Sandinista - EPS), and a police force, the Sandinista Police (Policía Sandinista - PS).
Both the army and the police are controlled by the Sandinistas and trained by personnel from Cuba, Eastern Europe, and the Soviet Union. With support from Cuba and the Soviet Union, the EPS will develop into the largest and best equipped military force in Central America. Compulsory military service, introduced during 1983, will bring its size to about 80,000 troops by the mid-1980s.
1984 - Elections for the presidency and parliament are held on 4 November. The FSLN wins 67% of the votes, the presidency, and 61 of the 96 seats in the National Assembly.
1985 - When the US Congress suspends funding to the Contras in April the Reagan administration orders a total embargo on US trade with Nicaragua. The embargo has a devastating effect on the country's already tottering economy, providing indirect assistance to the Contra insurgency.
1986 - In June the US Congress votes to resume aid to the Contras. The US$100 million provided in military and nonmilitary assistance forces the FSLN government to increase spending on defence, further damaging economic development. In November it is revealed that staff in the Reagan administration attempted to circumvent the 1985 congressional ban on aid to the Contras by illegally diverting funds from weapons sales to Iran, the so-called 'Iran-Contra Affair'.
1987 - When the US Congress again withdraws aid to the Contras following the Iran-Contra Affair the war dwindles to a stalemate, opening the way for a negotiated peace settlement. A temporary cease-fire agreement is signed in March 1988.
1990 - At elections held on 25 February the National Opposition Union (UNO), a coalition of 14 parties, wins a surprise victory over the FSLN, inheriting a country in ruins with a gross domestic product of less than US$500 per capita. During the year demobilised members of the Contra and FSLN forces rearm and renew the fighting, ultimately joining in a new group focused against the government. A split in the UNO ads further instability.
1992 - At the end of December the president calls in the military and police to resolve the conflict. The parliament is occupied, all assets and documents seized and the leaders of the parliament replaced.
1995 - The constitution is amended to reduce the power of the president in favour of the parliament. The military is also depoliticised.
1996 - Elections for the president and parliament are held in October. The FSLN is again defeated, this time by the Liberal Alliance, a coalition of five parties, whose candidate also wins the presidency.
1999 - The Somoza family attempts to reenter Nicaraguan political life, forming a new political party which is subsequently absorbed into the Liberal Nationalist Party, the family's traditional power base.
2001 - The Somoza family launches legal proceedings to try to regain possession of 342 properties (worth more than US$500 million) confiscated after the fall of the Somoza regime. When a Managua daily newspaper runs stories accusing the Somozas of looting the country while in power the family files a libel suit against the paper.
Somoza Debayle's son, Anastasio Somoza Portocarrero, the former commander of a National Guard unit accused of widespread human rights violations, plans to return to the country from exile in Guatemala.
Elections held in November once again see the defeat of the FSLN, this time at the hands of the Constitutional Liberal Party. The election is considered to be the most peaceful in the country's history.
There are no ultimate heroes or villains in the political history of Nicaragua. All players appear compromised in the country's multishaded progress to true democracy. The Somoza dynasty was corrupt to the core but, especially under the rule of patriarch Anastasio Somoza García, astute enough to maintain widespread community support through the introduction of reforms to the labour market, the voting system and the provision of social services. For a time Nicaragua was an economic success story and the envy of its neighbours. The price was the surrender of political power to dictatorial whim. The country could only be as good as the dictator of the day.
The Sandinistas are often portrayed in the West as crusading heroes for the common good. They were in reality as fractious as every other player on Nicaragua's political landscape. The fact that they have been rejected by the electorate in two consecutive votes is a sobering estimation of their capacity to govern.
The liberation theologists of the Roman Catholic Church are also frequently lauded for their role in toppling Somoza Debayle. But their readiness to participate in the government established after the dictator's fall broke a central tenant in the West's understanding of the parliamentary system - the separation of the church from the state. To object to a government is one thing, to help form a government is entirely something else.

Few things can dominate a conversation about the NFL more thoroughly than a discussion on the legacy of a player. Because the league takes so much out of a player so quickly — NFL careers are brutish, painful, and short — tomorrow's rising young star becomes yesterday's grizzled veteran in the blink of an eye, and a promising start can turn into an unmatched watermark before anyone has any idea. As quarterbacks are the natural focal point of a professional football team, their legacies and post-career accolades are constantly stoked, stuttered, and squandered season after season.
2014 is no different, and as we get set to break ground on the new NFL season, after the always-unsatisfying preseason games and many long months since the Super Bowl, let's take a look at the seven quarterbacks who have the most to gain –and lose – in terms of their public perception over the next 16 weeks or so.


text: Im thinking about how to lift an EXT. How different is the chassis from an avalanche? does the EXT have a 1500 or 2500 chassis. How could I lift it about 4-6 inches and still retain the stabili-trak and auto-ride? Im just gonna throw out some ideas. Whats the max I could do with a body lift? Are there any aftermarket spindles available for the front? How much lift could I get out of the torsion bars safely? for the rear, what about taller springs and a bracket to maintain the same travel on the shocks? how much can I change the travel on the stock shocks before I have to worry about overextending them? Any thoughts/feedback/ideas/suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

The Wicked Witch of the West, Behind the Scene
The Shrink Rappers have been pretty busy with this particular session and I've written a short column about it over on Clinical Psychiatry News. Feel free to hop over there and read my piece "A Glimpse Under the Hood." The site doesn't require you to register anymore although there is one small annoying popup ad you have to click past first.
This afternoon is the big day. The House version of our governor's gun bill is going to a vote in a joint committee. If it passes, which everyone expects it will, that will be the final step before it joins the other version already passed by the Senate to become law. We've managed to keep psychiatry out of the decision to take guns away from people and to at least provide some education to the legislators about the limitations and dangers of policies based on categorical mental illness.
It looks like insanity acquittees, criminal defendants who are incompetent to stand trial and people under guardianship will be barred from purchasing weapons, as will be anyone under an active protective order. This addition is required by the Federal government to be compliant with their gun laws. People can petition to have their gun rights restored although the administrative logistics for this have yet to be hammered out, and legislators (in spite of their professed intent to get guns out of the hands of dangerous people) have shown a striking reluctance to enforce seizure of weapons from anyone who falls into one of these categories. And yes, they carved out certain assault weapons out of the list of proposed banned weapons.
The final piece is the Maryland version of the New York SAFE Act. The original bill has been dropped, but it bounced back in the form of an amendment to today's bill which will be voted on this afternoon. The last three days have been pretty intense with discussions about how to protect our patients from getting reported to police. Dinah has already written extensively about this in USA Today and in Clinical Psychiatry News, and I outlined the New York requirements here. We're hopeful Maryland is not going to skip down that yellow brick road. That yellow isn't gold.
Which brings me back to the Wicked Witch of the West. When crafting law, her advice "These things must be done carefully" is a good thing to remember. I thought of this often when looking at bills proposed to modify all of our involuntary treatment laws. Regardless of which way you fall on the issue, the worst outcome is to create confusion. I don't know if any of the changes will actually make it out of committee next week so I won't speculate here, but like most states following all these high profile shootings there was a rush to cobble together a lot of changes while the time was ripe. And it showed in the legislation.
And now for something completely different:
Well, not completely. I listened to a presentation yesterday by Dr. Jeff Swanson, a sociologist and epidemiologist who studies the impact of certain public policy decisions and programs. He was part of a summit meeting on gun policy recently at Johns Hopkins. I listened to 90 minutes of impressive outcome data on gun violence and mental illness. His research provides strong support for the futility of reducing gun-related violence by singling out people by diagnosis. Unfortunately, as we've already seen with the sex offender registries, futility and costly ineffective public policies are not mutually exclusive.
So that's where I've been disappeared to lately. I hope to come up for air soon.

Next Fall
Naked Angels unveils the best new play of the season so far.
Wed Jun 10 2009
BREAKFAST NOOKIE Lovebirds Heusinger, left, and Breen share a romantic meal;...
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>5/5
The summer is not usually a great time to catch a play: After a frantic rush to the season's finish line in early May, Broadway and Off Broadway tend to collapse into prolonged estivation. Happily, there are exceptions to this doziness. You needn't wait until the coming autumn, for example, to catch Next Fall, Geoffrey Nauffts's funny, romantic, truthful and heartbreaking new drama. You really needn't wait at all, in fact: This beautifully shaped piece, produced by Naked Angels, should ideally be seen right away.
Next Fall begins in the waiting room of the hospital where Luke (Heusinger) has been taken after a life-threatening head injury, and unfolds largely in flashbacks to scenes from the previous five years of his relationship with the somewhat older Adam (Breen). The hunky, Southern-born Luke is a devout Christian, which fills him with guilt about being gay—he sometimes prays after sex—but also gives him a sense of confidence and security that the neurotic Adam, a hypochondriacal atheist, decidedly lacks. I don't remember the last time I saw a gay relationship portrayed with such nuance onstage—a credit to Nauffts's astute writing, but also to Sheryl Kaller's sensitive direction of a top-notch cast of six. (Connie Ray and Cotter Smith play Luke's parents; Maddie Corman and Sean Dugan are friends of the couple.) By the second act, the Peter Jay Sharp Theater is a chamber of sniffles, but this is no mere tearjerker. It's a tear-earner: Next Fall merits every drop.—Adam Feldman

Finance and physics are mathematical fields, but it isn't a knack for numbers that drew Gluskin Sheff + Associates to Perimeter Institute. It's the shared ethos of innovation. Founded in 1984, the firm prides itself on leadership and innovative thinking, traits that have vaulted the firm into Canada's upper echelons of wealth management.
That's why the firm's President and CEO Jeremy Freedman saw Perimeter as a natural partner. "At Gluskin Sheff, we see ourselves as innovators, and we're proud to be associated with Perimeter Institute because Perimeter is a global leader and innovator as well," Freedman said. "We believe Canadian institutions can be as good as anyone in the world – Perimeter has proven that, and we believe Gluskin Sheff is proving that as well."
The Gluskin Sheff Freeman Dyson Chair in Theoretical Physics at Perimeter Institute is supported by Gluskin Sheff's $2 million donation, matched by Perimeter. It is named after one of the 20th century's most distinguished and well-known scientists, whose work continues to influence many branches of physics. Inaugural chairholder Freddy Cachazo's work is anticipated to have similar impact.
Chairman (retired) and Founder, Teledyne DALSA Corporation
Savvas Chamberlain knows better than most people that today's theoretical physics is tomorrow's technology. After all, he's a scientist and inventor who turned his deep expertise in CCD image sensors (the kind of sensors inside high-end digital cameras) into a company called DALSA. Today, DALSA is a global leader in high performance imaging and semiconductors. Their image sensors are even inside NASA's Mars Rovers.
It wouldn't have happened without physics. Semiconductors (of which CCDs are a type) were invented by theoretical physicists: Willard Boyle (a Canadian) and George Smith from Bell Labs, who were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work. The connection is even deeper, as CCDs rely on the photoelectric effect, described by Albert Einstein in 1905.
The breakthroughs made by the great physicists of the past have shaped our modern world in deep and surprising ways. And the breakthroughs made by the great physicists of the present – who knows where they will take us?
The beauty of investing in these breakthroughs is that the price tag does not have to be high. This isn't "big science" with its high-priced equipment. Theoretical physics is work done largely on chalkboards.
By lending their support to the Perimeter Institute, far-sighted individuals like Savvas Chamberlain can help make the breakthroughs that will change the world.
In 2010, the BMO Financial Group announced the single largest donation supporting science in its history: $4 million to establish the BMO Financial Group Isaac Newton Chair in Theoretical Physics at Perimeter Institute.
Perimeter is already competing successfully for faculty members with the leading institutions in the world. Still, the competition for the very best minds is fierce.
That's why one of Perimeter's highest priorities is establishing ten prestigious endowed chairs and recruiting as new chairholders five of the most influential theoretical physicists of our time.
One of the world's top scientists has filled the BMO Financial Group Isaac Newton Chair in Theoretical Physics at Perimeter Institute : Xiao-Gang Wen, a leading expert in condensed matter theory. He came to Perimeter from MIT, where he held the Cecil and Ida Green Professorship in Physics.
"This investment is a game-changer. When we announced BMO's support in attracting even more of the best theoretical physicists to Canada, we were confident that this chair, in particular, would be a magnet for talent. Dr. Wen is a scientist of exceptional global stature, someone who is pushing the boundaries in an area of science where the potential applications are simply enormous. It's an opportunity not only to enhance innovation in Canada, but also to establish our leadership position in new quantum technologies – globally."
– Bill Downe, President and CEO of BMO Financial Group

Lohan reportedly settles Betty Ford Clinic lawsuit
'Lindsay recoiled in anger, grabbing Holland's wrist'
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. - Lindsay Lohan has reportedly called a truce in her war with a former worker at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage
The woman sued the actress, claiming Lohan brutalized her after being ordered to take a breathalyzer test.
TMZ broke the story soon after it happened, as we reported on KESQ.com.
The worker, Dawn Holland, claimed she tried to administer the breathalyzer after Lohan returned to the center one night in late 2010 appearing intoxicated.
According to Holland, Lohan recoiled in anger, grabbing Holland's right wrist, "twisting and pulling it for 8-10 seconds," she said.
Lohan acknowledged there was a scuffle , but insisted she was provoked by Holland, and any injuries she may have caused were in self-defense.
The case settled for an undisclosed amount of money. TMZ reports Lohan paid something to make it go away, although they don't know how much.

Okay - Just got back from AAMCO. Good news and not so good news.
Although I still don't think they really understand BMW's at this shop (didn't know this particular Getrag tranny doesn't have a rebuild kit), they do know tranny's. AllData charges 6.5 hours of shop time to remove and reinstall the tranny.
This shop scoped and test drove the car and came to the same conclusion that my mechanic has come with, Oaksenov, and this forum. Whine is coming from the bearings in the transmission. The good news is they did confirm the noise is not diff, driveshaft, or wheel bearing related. Also, they said the clutch was working fine and gear shifts were perfect. Even more good news, they believe it would not be a good idea to have the tranny replaced at this time. The owner says in all his 25 plus years of being in business, he's never seen a bearing explode in a transmission that was properly topped off with spec fluid. He further showed me a couple spare bearings and began to explain that these bearings are put around gears which are so tightly spaced in terms of tolerance, that they could never have the opportunity to explode. He also said that the sound that I am hearing is probably either some pitting in the bearing races or the balls themselves being pitted from metal to metal contact. He said worst case the sound will eventually get so loud that the car can't be driven, not because of the tranmission but only because of the noise it will make. Best case, depending on whether you go with a thicker gear oil, the noise could also be completely eliminated. Truth be told though, he also said he was speculating because he's never had one come in with that condition.
The fact that the OP continues to drive his 5er 3 years since posting this and now 30K miles later, and not noticing any change in tranny behavior good or bad, seems to verify that this statement has merit.
As for the use of oil or metal chemical additives, he didn't seem to encourage or discourage the use of it.
One final question he asked is if I knew of any TSB's or recalls on the transmissions. I said I didn't know and he proceeded to check into it and came up with the following comment,
'MTF-LT2 superseded MTF-LT1. MTF-LT2 is not yet available in the US market. In the interim MTF-LT1 can be used.'
Anyone here know what the oil properties are for LT2. Is it thicker or thinner? I definitely plan to change out my fluid for this one or possibly add an additive to it.
Oaksenov - Any update on the additive, did it quiet down 3rd or 4th gear for you? I actually plan to use this stuff, Lubro Moly MoS2 Anti-Friction For Gears. Looks like it's specifically for transmissions and for reducing friction and/or whine.

Weather to Watch
Los Angeles Angels at Texas Rangers: The wind is expected to be blowing in from right field at 11 mph. Also, it's going to be hot. Forecast is calling for the game time temperature to be around 39 oC.
Who is Hot
The Cincinnati Reds are riding a 10-game win streak. They're also 17-2 over their last 19 games.
Who is Not
Michael Phelps. The American swimmer missed another chance at gold after Team USA lost to France in the 4×100 freestyle relay.
Key Stat
+1200 – Honduras' odds of beating Spain in Sunday's Olympic soccer match. Honduras won the match and, in the process, eliminated Spain from advancing from group play. It was the first time since the 2001 U-17 World Cup that Spain has been eliminated in the group stage of any world tournament.
Game of the Day
Los Angeles Angels (55-47) at Texas Rangers (59-41) (-161, 11)
An Injury That Should Not Be Overlooked
Mike Trout – The shoe-in to win the AL Rookie of the Year – and maybe the MVP award too – was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup for the Angels because of a bruised knee. It's just supposed to be a day-to-day thing but a hitter of Trout's quality is going to be missed no matter how short the time on the shelf is.
News & Notes
Things have gotten beyond awkward in the Boston Red Sox locker room. Bobby Valentine is sending mixed signals about why left fielder Carl Crawford is getting days off and it's just another example of a long list of damaged relationships Valentine carries in the clubhouse. He seems to know what's going on, even if he's using sarcasm as a defensive mechanism. When asked why SP Jon Lester is having such an awful season, Valentine responded, "Got to be the manager he's pitcher for."
The Atlanta Braves are shaking up their starting rotation. Kris Medlen is taking Jair Jurrjens' spot according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Medlen is enjoying a fine season as the team's long relief man but the Braves are hoping he can fill a hole in the rotation unless they pick up an arm on trade deadline day.

During that time, the largest documented customer for its product was the U.S. Department of Defense. Mine waste and tailings have potentially impacted soils, waterways, and marine resources of the Gulf of Trieste, Northern Adriatic some hundred kilometers downstream. Dr. Horvat will describe the numerous studies of the mine and its consequences. Dr. Milena Horvat is Head of the Department of Environmental Sciences, at the Jozef Stefan Institute, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Dr. Horvat is an analytical chemist with extensive experience in metrology in chemistry, biogeochemistry of mercury, development of environmental monitoring and control. She previously served as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency's Marine Environmental Studies Laboratory in Monaco.
