Pioneer Product: Gentocin® Solution (gentamicin sulfate, 100 mg/mL), NADA 046-724 by Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation
Date of Approval: July 21, 1995
Under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act (53 FR 50460, December 15, 1988; first GADPTRA Policy Letter), an Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application (ANADA) may be submitted for a generic version of an approved new animal drug (pioneer product). For certain dosage forms, the Agency may grant a waiver from conducting an in vivo bioequivalence study (55 FR 24645, June 18, 1990; fifth GADPTRA Policy Letter). In lieu of bioequivalence testing, the safety and efficacy of the generic product are based on the demonstrated chemical equivalence to the pioneer product.
Based on the formulation characteristics of the generic product, Macleod Pharmaceuticals was granted a waiver November 5, 1990 (photocopy attached) from conducting an in vivo bioequivalence study with Gentamex 100. The generic and pioneer products are solutions with the same inactive ingredients and the same concentrations of the active ingredient.
Human Safety Relative to Food Consumption: Regarding consumption of drug residues in food, human safety data were not required for approval of this ANADA. This drug is labeled for use in horses not intended for food.
Human Safety Relative to Possession, Handling and Administration: Labeling contains adequate caution/warning statements.
This is an Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application (ANADA) filed under Section 512(b)(2) of the Federal, Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FFD&C) Act.
Safety and effectiveness for this generic animal drug, Gentamex 100 (gentamicin sulfate, 100 mg/mL), were established by demonstration of chemical equivalence to the pioneer product, Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation's Gentocin® Solution (gentamicin sulfate, 100 mg/mL, NADA 046-724).
This generic product and the pioneer product have identical labeling indications for use. The route and method of administration of the two drugs are identical. Both drugs are administered by intrauterine infusion. The generic and pioneer products are both solutions that contain the same active and inactive ingredients in the same concentrations. Both products have the same pH. Therefore, in compliance with FDA policy promulgated to implement Section 512(b)(2) of the FFD&C Act, no additional safety, efficacy, or in vivo bioequivalency studies were necessary or required.
This ANADA satisfies the requirements of section 512 of the Act and demonstrates that Gentamex 100 is safe and effective for its labeled indications when used under its proposed conditions of use.

Airbnb ruling reversed—it's legal again in NYC
The New York City Environmental Control Board deemed the online room-sharing service is legal again, as long as the original tenant's roommate is home.
Fri Oct 4 2013
Airbnb has emerged victorious from its legality dispute. Last May, a judge deemed the room-renting company in violation of NYC laws, which ban residents from renting out homes for less than 29 days, and fined New Yorker Nigel Warren $2,400 for doing so through the site. The popular start-up pledged its own lawyers to Warren, and the ruling was successfully reversed by the Environmental Control Board as of last Friday. The verdict: It's now okay to rent your room out online, provided your roommate is home (tough luck for studio-dwellers).
You may have noticed that online room-renting didn't exactly shut down since May, nor did Airbnb remove New York listings from its site. That's because the illegal short-term renting law is only prosecutable as a secondary offense. So you'd only get busted if, say, your guests threw a party and the cops showed up in response to a noise complaint (which, let's face it, isn't a bad thing).
"This episode highlights how complicated the New York law is, and it took far too long for Nigel to be vindicated," said an Airbnb spokesperson on its public policy blog. "That is why we are continuing our work to clarify the law and ensure New Yorkers can share their homes and their city with travelers from around the world."

Jeremy Scott On "The Young And The Restless"
Designer Jeremy Scott — he of the world's most ridiculous sunglasses — is following in James Franco's legendary footsteps by guesting on a soap opera. On today's episode of "The Young and the Restless," Scott and his ever-interesting coif is decked out in a wildly embellished matador jacket and bitchy scowl. He's playing a designer on the show, so it's not like he'll have to try too hard to get into character, meaning the performance may not be horrifying. In any event, we're excited. [Hint Mag]

Antonin Scalia, possibly the most extreme conservative associate U.S. Supreme Court justice, says, for him, it is "easy" to outlaw same-sex marriage — which he calls "homosexual sodomy." Scalia, a Reagan appointee who hails from Trenton, New Jersey, also finds it "easy" to rule on the death penalty and abortion. The remarks are considered unprecedented as they relate to cases the Supreme Court is likely to rule on soon, possibly even next year.
"The death penalty? Give me a break. It's easy. Abortion? Absolutely easy. Nobody ever thought the Constitution prevented restrictions on abortion. Homosexual sodomy? Come on. For 200 years, it was criminal in every state."

Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Eyewear is in.

The VO2941S has an almost titillating effect. Wearing this model, you will definitely attract attention. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively.

You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop. Whether driving or out on the slopes, your own safety sometimes depends on your angle of vision. The polarizing lenses in this model block the glare from reflecting surfaces, such as water, glass or snow and best sight is guaranteed.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. And we have kept the best for last: ordering immediately is worthwhile, because this top model is now in the sale! But only while stock lasts.

The federal Coalition has vowed to block the $10 billion fund devised by Labor and the Greens to invest in renewable energy, amid signs that the venture could be dismantled faster than other parts of the federal government's climate change policy.
The Coalition plan could undermine the Clean Energy Finance Corporation before it is even established, raising doubts over its ability to take on the debt needed to support its investment program over the five years from June 2013.
Opposition finance spokesman
The tough line could leave the venture without the cash required to deliver on its investment plans, even if a Coalition government was unable to amend the legislation creating the company.
The CEFC is crucial to the Greens' ambition to invest heavily in renewable technologies in order to curb greenhouse gas emissions more strongly than projected in government policy documents.
The Australian Financial Review revealed on July 11 that the corporation would be funded by issuing debt, an approach that would keep the venture off the federal budget and prevent its outlays being counted as recurrent spending.
The company is expected to rely on a government guarantee to encourage investors to buy bonds or other securities that offer stable returns, taking advantage of the federal government's low borrowing costs.
Mr Robb said a Coalition government would not support government-guaranteed borrowings or equity injections from borrowed money to create what he called a "Brown Bank" after Greens leader
"We definitely will not be borrowing directly or guaranteeing borrowings to finance what is effectively a slush fund," he said.
"It will lead to market distortions and billions more in waste on risky projects that the conventional banks would not touch."
The CEFC is to be established by legislation. If the Coalition wins government, Labor and the Greens could join forces in the Senate to block attempts to amend the legislation.
But a government decision to refuse to guarantee the company's debt would undermine the venture even if the legislation was unchanged.
The carbon tax policy documents state that the CEFC would invest the $10 billion over five years from 2013-14.
An independent chair, who is yet to be named, is to report to the government by early 2012 on the company's investment mandate and governance.

Charlie Weis heading back to college? The current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator and former Notre Dame coach is being courted by Florida, according to multiple organizations.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun both said Weis would serve as offensive coordinator Will Muschamp in Gainesville.
From Mortensen's story:
"Muschamp contacted the Chiefs this week for permission to talk to Weis, with the full intention of hiring the Chiefs' offensive coordinator and former Notre Dame coach, sources said. A Florida source said Weis would continue to coach the Chiefs into the AFC playoffs. Another source reiterated that Weis is expected to accept the job."
Kansas City coach Todd Haley was asked about the possibility of Weis leaving. Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star posted the following on his Twiter.
"#Chiefs coach Todd Haley was asked about Weis-to-Florida rumors. He said it was first he'd heard of it, but he didn't deny anything."
The move seems surprising given that impact Weis has had on the Chiefs in his one season with the team. Matt Cassel has thrown for 27 touchdowns and just five interceptions and the running game leads the NFL in yards per game.
The timing of the news is also interesting with Kansas City already having clinched the AFC West with one week left in the season.

€50 million bid to marry off gay daughter
The daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon who has offered 500 million Hong Kong dollars (50 million euro) to any man who can woo her away from her lesbian partner said she is not upset with her father.
But it is unlikely Gigi Chao will be accepting any of the marriage proposals flooding in.
Ms Chao said she is on "very loving terms" with her father, Cecil Chao.
He made world headlines this week when he offered the marriage bounty after learning that his daughter had eloped with her partner to France.
Mr Chao is the chairman of Hong Kong property developer Cheuk Nang Holdings and has a reputation for being a playboy.
He said today that he has received hundreds of offers from suitors while his daughter has had thousands.

text: Home Gallery Video Autism Speaks Lifetime of Difference Autistic Boy Grows Up in Spots for Four Different Brands in Autism Speaks Campaign BBDO Brings Clever Idea to Full Commercial Block on CNN Published on Apr 28, 2014 Editor's Pick Autism Speaks' new campaign for "Autism Awareness Month" aimed to show how early diagnosis and the right kind of upbringing can make a lifetime of difference for kids with autism and their families, via a unique media play involving a series ads -- and multiple brands-- within a single programming block that aired during CNN's "New Day" this morning. Created out of BBDO New York, the campaign weaves its message into four different, 15-second commercials for other agency clients, like Campbell's Soup, Band-Aid and AT&T. The campaign begins with a spot for Autism Speaks showing a family visit to a pediatrician, where a kid is diagnosed with autism. Other commercials follow, for Band-Aid, Campbell's Soup and then AT&T. As you watch, you realize the parents in each ad are the same, only growing older with each one --as does the son, who lives a normal, healthy life throughout. The last commercial shows the kid -- now a young man -- in cap and gown, ready to graduate. A tag reads: "You just saw how early diagnosis can make a lifetime of difference." "As a company and brand, AT&T believes that you have to rethink possible to drive human progress. That's what early diagnosis represents for children with autism," Esther Lee, senior vice president--Brand Marketing & Advertising at AT&T, said in a statement.

May 11, 2007
The panel investigating the mass murder at Virginia Tech should focus on the gunman's motivations, the timeline of events and the response of authorities, the governor said yesterday.
"We owe it to the victims to learn everything that has happened and why," Gov. Timothy M. Kaine told the first meeting of the eight-member panel.
If there's "anything redeeming about this tragedy," Kaine said, it is that the panel will produce recommendations and "ideas to be better and stronger in the future."
"Virginians have questions — there is a sense of urgency," he said, asking the panel to produce by August recommendations for colleges and universities in Virginia and nationally to prevent and respond to such rampages.
The panel, appointed by Kaine, may be the best avenue people have for understanding what happened at Tech that day. Its recommendations could challenge lawmakers to review gun laws and to reform or provide additional money to the state's mental-health system, which has been criticized for decades for its shortcomings. The panel today also questioned that system.
Charles W. Steger, Virginia Tech's president, said the university will fully cooperate with the investigation. Questions have been raised about the university's delay in warning students and faculty about the shootings.
"We owe it to the injured, we owe it to the families of the fallen, indeed we owe it to all other schools and campuses in this country to examine all these issues . . . and find ways of preventing anything like this ever again," Steger said.
Seung-Hui Cho, 23, a Tech senior from Northern Virginia, shot to death 32 fellow students and faculty members on April 16 before killing himself. Sixteen months earlier, a judge had found him a danger to himself because of suicidal thoughts and ordered him to seek outpatient treatment.
It is uncertain what services, if any, he sought and received.
Members of the panel, composed of law-enforcement, judicial, medical and mental-health experts, questioned the state's gun and mental-treatment systems.
"There's very little resources and funding in community-based treatment and counseling," observed Dr. Aradhana A. "Bela" Sood, medical director of the Virginia Treatment Center for Children at VCU Medical Center.
Besides resources, the panel should look closely at the state's commitment laws and the availability of treatment.
Diane M. Strickland, a former judge in the Roanoke area, agreed. "I was constantly reminded as a judge of the paucity of services in Virginia," she said. "Providing treatment in the community is very limited."
Dr. Marcus L. Martin, an assistant dean at the University of Virginia medical school and a specialist in emergency response, characterized as "outstanding" the local response to the Virginia Tech tragedy.
He said the panel should investigate the psychological and counseling services offered to Cho.
Some have raised questions about the two-hour gap between Cho's shooting of two students in West Ambler Johnston Hall and his killings of 30 in Norris Hall classrooms.
W. Gerald Massengill, the panel's chairman who was the superintendent of Virginia State Police, expressed confidence that facts will show that Tech authorities acted based on available information.
"That gap was filled with a lot of activity," he told reporters. "It's not that law-enforcement and college administrators were doing nothing."
Another panel member, Tom Ridge, the nation's first secretary of Homeland Security, said one of the most difficult tasks is to "sit in judgment of others."
"The objective of this panel is to learn" lessons for other universities. This could have happened at any U.S. campus, he said.
He warned that the panel, in assessing and making recommendations about "what was done or not done," must take into account the facts facing authorities at the time.
Fewer than 50 people attended the four-hour meeting in the General Assembly Building. Many of them were media, and only five people addressed the group.
June Hazlehurst of Richmond, of the gun-control organization Virginia Center for Public Safety, commended Kaine for recently closing the gun loophole that allowed Cho to buy firearms despite his mental history and court adjudication.
Julia Torres Barden of Richmond, a substitute teacher and former cable-system spokeswoman, said a system must be implemented on campuses, including sirens, to warn of potentially dangerous situations.
Jim Kadison of the Virginia Citizens Defense League said deaths and casualties could have been reduced through a sought-after law allowing guns on campuses. Tech bans carrying guns on campus even by those with concealed-weapons permits.
"It would make for a much safer campus," Kadison said.


text: Argentina is once again wrestling with its long-time enemy, inflation. Now, it appears history may soon repeat itself, as Argentina teeters on the verge of another currency crisis. As of Tuesday morning, the black-market exchange rate for Argentine pesos (ARS) to the U.S. dollar (USD) hit 9.87, meaning the peso's value now sits 47.3% below the official exchange rate. This yields an implied annual inflation rate of 98.3%. For now, the effects of this elevated inflation rate are being subdued somewhat by Argentina's massive price control regime. But these price controls are not sustainable in the long term. Indeed, the short-term "lying prices" only distort the economic reality, ultimately leading to scarcity. There is, however, a simple solution to Argentina's monetary problems: dollarization. I have advocated dollarization in Argentina for over two decades, well before the blow up of their so-called "currency board." To put the record straight, Argentina did not have a true currency board from 1991 to 2002. Rather, as I anticipated in 1991, the "convertibility system" acted more like a central bank than a currency board. This pegged exchange rate system was bound to fail—and fail, it did. The 2001-02 Argentine Crisis could have easily been avoided if the country had simply dollarized. Argentina had more than sufficient foreign assets to dollarize their economy even late into 2001. But the Argentine government, through a series of policy blunders, ended up "floating" the currency. Not surprisingly, Argentina is now back to where it was in the late 1980s. So, how can Argentina dollarize? In short, the Banco Central de la Republica Argentina (BCRA) would take all of the assets and liabilities on its balance sheet denominated in foreign currency and convert them to U.S. dollars. The Central Bank would then exchange these dollars for all the pesos in circulation (monetary base), at a fixed exchange rate. By my calculation, the BCRA would need at least $56.36 billion to dollarize at the official exchange rate (as of April 23, 2013).

Discover Croatia's best things to do, attractions, restaurants, bars and nightlife
Discover great things to do in Dubrovnik with UberBOAT
Centrepieced by its marble-floored Old Town, surrounded by the pristine white walls that stood protecting its historic heart over centuries of fire, earthquake and conflict, Dubrovnik is inundated with visitors every summer. Escaping the crowds is never straightforward, particularly in high season. With the city's main harbour a taxi journey from town, public-ferry schedules geared to early working hours and private-boat rental oversubscribed, getting away over the water is rarely a straightforward proposition. With newly launched UberBOAT, you're just a tap of a button away from unique, reliable and safe transportation from a speedy transfer over the waves or a half- or full-day tour. The service works pretty much the same way the app does for cars. Once you request a boat for between eight and 12 passengers, you're guided to a nearby pick-up point where your captain will be waiting. The rest is up to you! Most of Dubrovnik's five-star hotels and high-end restaurants are ranged around panoramic headlands that gaze out onto huge blue swathes of the Adriatic Sea. Luxury lodgings such as the Bellevue, the Excelsior and the Valamar Dubrovnik President boast private beaches, infinity pools and world-class spas as well as fine dining and private villas. From there, it's an easy hop by UberBOAT to the exotic islands that beckon on the horizon. The isle of Lokrum is the stuff of legend, an unspoiled paradise of tropical botanical gardens, a ruined Napoleonic fort and a des
The best things to do in Croatia in July
Croatia really heats up in July - and we're not just talking about the weather. This midsummer month sees its famous festival scene erupt into action, as well as open-air events in the heart of Croatia's ancient cities and film festivals set under starry skies. Whether you're seeking festival mania or your island idyll, here's our pick of the best things to do this July. RECOMMENDED: more great things to do in Croatia.
Great things to do in Zagreb in July
There's plenty of things to do in Zagreb in July. The city basks in the heat of this mid-summer month, with festivals, concerts and culture blooming at every crossroad. You'll find promenades to stroll down on balmy nights, and park festivals for entertainment on dazzling afternoons. While many succumb to the calling of the coast, the Croatian capital has its own magnetic pull - here are just a few great things going on this July. RECOMMENDED: More great things to do in Croatia.
Croatia today
In February of this year Monte in the chic Istrian town of Rovinj became the first Croatian restaurant to receive a Michelin star. It was one of 34 eateries on Michelin's inaugural Croatian list. Nobody would argue with the choice of Monte, a famously creative restaurant that has had reviewers agog ever since it opened. What's odd is that it took Michelin until 2017 to get to grips with Croatia, a country that has been flexing its culinary muscles for quite some time. Well over 15 years have passed since Croatian tourism threw off the post-war blues and started clambering its way back up the European holiday league. In that time we've become accustomed to several of the country's trademarks – the rugged drama of the Adriatic coastline, the translucent purity of its sea, a profusion of good food and wine, and the generally easygoing, un-jaded attitude of the locals themselves. A record sixteen million tourists visited Croatia in 2016, and if the first few months of the year are anything to go by, this number will be topped in 2017. Dubrovnik in particular has seen a 100% increase in the number of guests over the last 8 years, many of them drawn, perhaps, by the city's role as a shooting location for Game of Thrones, Star Wars, the new Robin Hood… The word on the streets is that James Bond may well be next. There's concern that the Croatian economy is becoming too reliant on the tourist trade as its other industries struggle. However tourism remains the one effectiv
The 10 best festivals in Croatia
Of all the exciting things to happen to Croatian tourism over the last decade, the boom in boutique music festivals has come as the biggest surprise. A surge in party-loving punters flocking to the Adriatic has generated a cool buzz around the country, inspiring promoters near and far to set up temporary camp along its famously sun drenched coastline. And when it comes to Croatian festivals, you really do have the best of both worlds: incredible line-ups are matched by equally impressive locations. The choice here is massive – from sizzling hot boat parties and raves in abandoned forts to live music in the heart of Croatia's historical cities. With over twenty festivals taking place this summer; it's harder than ever to pick the right one. To help you decide, we've shortlisted ten of the best. RECOMMENDED: More Croatia music festivals

Time Out's local experts sort through the best things to do in Croatia.
20 great things to do in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a one-town tourist industry on its own, with endless things to do all year round. As stunning as the clear blue sea around it, the former centre of the independent Republic of Ragusa invites superlatives and attracts the lion's share of Croatia's visitors. Read on for our insider's guide to the best things to do in Dubrovnik.
20 great things to do in Split
There are plenty of things to do in Split now that – thankfully – its days as a departure point to the nearby islands are gone. Brimming with recently opened high-quality bistros, antiquities aplenty and the best bar scene on the Adriatic coast, Croatia's main ferry port is also the country's most promising all-round city-break destination. Our local experts pick the best things to do in Split.
20 great things to do in Zagreb
There are countless cultural things to do in Zagreb, and its compact size makes it easy for first time visitors to navigate. Attractions range from historic sights and fascinating galleries, complemented by destination restaurants, clusters of busy bars and numerous live music venues. Discover the very best things to do in Zagreb with our list of unmissable activities.
Essential Zagreb attractions
Zagreb attractions number plenty of stately icons among their ranks, owing to the city's status as a former Habsburg hub and capital of a new nation. Towering cathedrals, a venerable zoo and a stately cemetery all provide plenty of things to do in Zagreb. Our experts pick out the best.

Popular destinations in Croatia
Vis travel guide
Vis island has a special place in the hearts of many Croatians, who consider this a truly unspoiled example of the best of the Dalmatian coast. Its designation as a military base under Tito froze development for more than 40 years, allowing farming and fishing to remain the dominant activities. Now tourism is taking over this remote spot, one of the farthest islands from the mainland. Vis has become a hot destination among those in the know who want a quiet getaway amid a gorgeous patch of clear sea, which provides great fish, swimming and diving. While the party scene here may not be as raucous as on Hvar, Vis island's gastronomy can compare with any Dalmatian destination. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Pag travel guide
Pag is thin and 64 kilometres (40 miles) long, made up of two parallel mountain ranges. Settlements are mainly sleepy fishing villages, with two towns of any size, Novalja and Pag town. Novalja is a resort town that's become party central. Zrće beach, a short bus ride away, is the biggest club hub in Croatia. By contrast, the administrative and commercial centre of Pag town exudes cultural heritage. Narrow, fortified medieval streets weave beneath a 15th-century Gothic cathedral and the sun beats hard off the white stone pavement as local ladies painstakingly stitch Pag lace in doorways. The flavours on the Pag dinner table are influenced by its arid, saline environment. Inhabited by more sheep than humans, Pag has lamb that is flavoured with the aromatic herbs that browsing sheep consume – as is the trademark Pag cheese. Fish tastes different too, a result of the particularly salty waters. What with the local žutica dry white wine and the stiff digestif of travarica herb brandy, the Pag culinary experience is especially attractive to foodies. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Rab travel guide
Verdant in the south-west, rocky in the north and east and rocking in the middle, Rab has a lot to offer. It's known as both the greenest and busiest island in the Kvarner string. Families like the safely shallow, sandy beach in the northern peninsula of Lopar, while nature lovers and naturists hike to the wilder beaches there. Rab town, near the centre of the island, is a bustling tourist destination, with an interesting mix of busy bars and a historic Old Town. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Hvar travel guide
Outside of Dubrovnik, Hvar is the epicentre of the Dalmatian travel industry. Holidaymakers come to be around the yachts lining the harbour of the island's namesake capital and among the revellers forking out more than top dollar (in Croatian terms) to party into the night. A massive overhaul of key hotels here, in the Sunčani Hvar chain, has been followed by a slower stage of development as the town comes to terms with its stardom. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Rovinj travel guide
Rovinj is Istria's showpiece, its answer to Dalmatia's Dubrovnik, with far fewer crowds and a more realistic view of itself. It maintains a meticulously cared-for old quarter and extensive tourist amenities without feeling fake or overdone. The natural setting is stunning: a harbour nicknamed 'the cradle of the sea' by ancient mariners because the archipelago of islands, stretching from here to Vrsar, ensured calm, untroubled waters. The man-made structures in the Old Town are also attractive: tightly clustered houses, painted in cheery Venetian reds and Habsburg pastels, connected by cobbled streets barely wider than a footpath. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Rijeka travel guide
Croatia's third-largest city with a population of 150,000, Rijeka has a busy port that handles ten million tonnes of cargo and a quarter of a million passengers, many heading to nearby resorts. It's a nice place for a week's city break, during which you can enjoy Rijeka's fascinating history, great restaurants and kicking year-round nightlife. This is not a tourist-oriented city, which is part of its charm: in Rijeka you will be dining, drinking and dancing with locals. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.

Pula travel guide
Pula is as urban as Istria gets. It is indisputably the region's commercial centre, and is home to almost half its population. The city's growing status as a happening focus of the arts has been enhanced thanks to two recently opened exhibition spaces: the spectacularly renovated former church of Sveta Srca; and the ramshackle but promising Museum of Contemporary Art of Istria. The Pula Film Festival in July continues to be the biggest show in town, although the city has been catapulted into the music festival premier league with the recent appearance of two major four-day events: Outlook (big names in dubstep and reggae) and Dimensions (the same but with some more cutting-edge DJs). What the town lacks in terms of attractive waterfront it more than makes up for in terms of antiquities. The original Roman Forum remains the major meeting point with cafés offering outdoor tables. Pula's impressive Roman amphitheatre, or Arena, hosts events all summer. The city's sprawling waterfront includes a port handling close to one million tons of cargo every year, a marina for yachters, a forested stretch of beach with a promenade and, outside the centre, resorts, built in the 1960s and 1970s in Verudela and neighbouring Medulin. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Discover culture and art highlights
Croatian film festival guide
Almost every major city and region in Croatia holds a film festival of some kind, Zadar recently getting into the act following the success of similar events in Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik and Pula. Many take place in summer, some at open-air locations. Our film experts put together their guide to the best film festivals in Croatia.
Essential Zagreb attractions
Zagreb attractions number plenty of stately icons among their ranks, owing to the city's status as a former Habsburg hub and capital of a new nation. Towering cathedrals, a venerable zoo and a stately cemetery all provide plenty of things to do in Zagreb. Our experts pick out the best.
Croatian culture today
Croatia may no longer be the new kid on the block as far as Mediterranean tourism is concerned, but it still offers the allure of fresh discoveries. Visitors who already know about Dubrovnik are beginning to grasp why they need to spend more time exploring Pelješac and Korčula; press stories about suave hedonism of Hvar have morphed gently into press stories about the reinvigorating authenticity of the same island. And people who visited Croatian capital Zagreb ten years ago are beginning to realise that the Zagreb of today is a different city entirely. Croatia's ongoing status as a perception-challenging destination might be one reason why the Croatian National Tourist Association chose 2015 as the right time to replace its 15-year-old slogan, 'The Mediterranean As It Once Was' with the new motto, 'Croatia: Full of Life'. Local wags were quick to subject the new slogan to a 'my-child-could-have-thought-that-up' level of derision, although professionals were equally fast in defending the choice as the most versatile, open-ended and appropriate solution available. The old slogan was very successful in drawing attention to Croatian heritage and unspoiled nature, but probably meant little to a new generation of tourists more interested in music festivals, wine bars, sleek hotels and Adriatic cool. And when Croatia is concerned, cool is far from being an overused word. The Croatian music-festival boom shows no signs of letting up; the legendary, genre-defining Garden Festival
The best Split museums and galleries
A bustling hub in Roman times, Split – which is built around an old Roman palace – is full of unique historic and artistic treasures. Split attractions include a number of museums and galleries that make the city a fascinating destination for art aficionados, historians and sightseers alike. Here's where to head.

Croatia's best bars and restaurants
The best Split restaurants
The Split restaurant scene's culinary revolution is a recent phenomenon and one that's still booming. Decent and diverse eateries seem to be opening on an almost monthly basis, making Croatia's second city a gastronomic destination equal to almost any in the country. Split is not only a tourist playground – it's a living, breathing, dining-out city for locals too.
The best Dubrovnik restaurants
Dubrovnik restaurants are beginning to offer the culinary quality and variety that should be expected of such a luxury destination. And dining in Dubrovnik needn't cost an arm and a leg: many places offers simple, wholesome dishes at wallet-friendly prices.
The best Zagreb bars
People in Croatia's capital city always give themselves time to linger and socialise over drinks. Whatever the time of year, new Zagreb bars are always raising and lowering their banners across the city centre and beyond, while traditional landmarks stay firm. Time Out's experts discover the best places to sip across town.
The best Dubrovnik bars
By day, Dubrovnik and its overcrowded Old Town seem the perfect place for sandal-wearing coffee-sippers. But by night, Dubrovnik bars spring to life, with a number of atmospheric spots serving up anything from fine Dalmatian wines to fancy cocktails. Dip in to our essential drinking guide.
Split bar guide
Local Splićani spend much of their lives in bars. By day, they frequent terrace cafés on the Riva seafront promenade and after dark, the alleyways of the Diocletian's Palace behind it. Many a Split bar will have its entrance on a parallel street, another will have a doorway in a street with no name at all. On any given night, you'll find at least one you love, but know you'll never find again. All the more reason to keep hold of our list of the city's best drinking spots...
More great travel destinations in Croatia
Poreč travel guide
Poreč is something of a cross between Pula and Rovinj, although neither as street-smart nor as bohemian. It can be hard at first to recognise its true value. Hoards of visitors fill the treasured sixth-century Euphrasian Basilica, the ancient square built by Romans and the scores of restaurants, cafés and package hotels. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Trogir travel guide
Trogir was first settled by Greeks from Vis in 300 BC. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town reflects the influence of subsequent periods of Roman, Hungarian, Venetian, French and Austrian rule. Its walled medieval centre is a warren of narrow cobbled streets, radiating from the cathedral square of Trg Ivana Pavla II, flanked by a wide seafront promenade, the Riva. In summer, the harbour wall is lined with luxury yachts and tripper boats, and the lively summer festival has entertainment on offer most evenings. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Brač travel guide
Travelling to Brač is easy, yet despite being one of the closest islands to the mainland, less than an hour by ferry – and a prime candidate for the most popular – Brač lets you carouse with the hordes or get lost in solitude. In many ways, it's Croatia's 'everyisland'. And, because Brač is so close to Split, you can do it in a day trip. A ride in a bus or hire car from the northern entry port of Supetar – the other main tourist centre and family-friendly resort with sand-and-pebble beaches and package hotels – goes past pines, olive groves and marble quarries to the southern coast and Bol. When explored, Brač allows travellers to step off the tourist conveyor belt, take a break from the herd and gain a deeper sense of the island and its culture. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Korčula island travel guide
As you travel to Korčula from the mainland nearby, the crowded little houses on the edge of the island seem to be pushing each other out of the way to see if you are friend or foe. Holding them in, stern medieval walls centrepieced by the slim belltower of St Mark's Cathedral stand guard over the narrow Pelješac Channel, protecting the riches contained on the sixth largest island in the Croatian Adriatic. So lush with dark pine forests, vineyards and olive groves the ancient Greek settlers called it Korkyra Melaina ('Black Corfu'), Korčula has managed to avoid the tourist trap tendencies of its original Greek namesake to the south. No longer fought over by Turk or Venetian, by French or Austrian, by Partisan or German, Korčula is one of Dalmatia's most relaxing getaways. The main town of the same name, set on the north-eastern tip of the island opposite the Pelješac peninsula, has one of the best-preserved medieval centres in the Adriatic. Historic Korčula is therefore the most popular south-Dalmatian destination after the more crowded Dubrovnik, with which it is often compared. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Cres travel guide
One of the largest but least developed of Croatia's islands, the relatively untouched gem of Cres contains 400 square kilometres (155 square miles) of rugged wilderness, an estimated 80 breeding pairs of the rare griffon vultures and only 3,000 full-time human residents. There are a couple of resort settlements, but not much else in the way of luxury vacations. For more sophistication, take a room in ancient Cres town; for wilderness, get a campsite in the hills. Either way, you can expect a simpler and quieter time than at many of Kvarner's other resorts. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.
Šibenik travel guide
After a long period of playing second fiddle to more glamorous neighbours Split and Zadar, Šibenik is swiftly turning into Dalmatia's surprise package. Like Zadar, Šibenik suffered a hammering in the 1991-95 war and is still recovering but change is evident. The industrial suburbs, a reminder of its past and significance as a port, camouflage a delightful Old Town. Alleyways and stone steps threaten to lead nowhere but are full of surprises; historic churches and atmospheric squares are tucked around almost every corner, and the golden globe atop the unmissable Cathedral of St James pops up in the distance when least expected. RECOMMENDED: More great travel destinations in Croatia.

His Love Is So Sweet - Poem by .... Chetty
He pierces through my heart and chains it around his neck
Wherever he goes I follow
It is so cold but yet so sweet
When he walks in the room, the smile upon his face lightens my darkness
It's breaking over me with shimmers of light
I see my walls falling and shatter all over me
His lips kisses my sorrow
I was afraid but now I shiver and scared of the light
Oh I am flying high, flying high
I feel safe as the light delivers me to you
Ohhh lord, don't let me fall……
Ohhh lord, don't let me fall….
His gentleness warmth my skin
And his eyes suck out my soul
I am addicted by his presence
Like a child I follow him,
I feel the yearning of being near him
I can see I am going under from the darkness to the lights
Oh my world shimmers, from every corner
I am blinded by his light
My heart beat is his melody
As he sucks my soul from his green eyes
I am flying high, I am flying high
Ohhhh Baby, your love is so sweet
I feel no fear under your eyes

puff pastry different ways
I once saw a baker (Eastern European) make what was a "near" puff pastry using oil for the detrempe, and shredding frozen butter on the rolled out detrempe, than folding and rolling in the usual manner of puff pastry making only not as many turns. it turned out beautifully, was a whole lot less work than classic puff pastry. Is anyone familiar with this method? I don't remember the oil/water/flour proportions and I'd like to try it.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
we need to sell farm land only but she has life estate on house and will not sign Quit Claim Deed. She abandoned property 1 wk after his death. the land ae are selling is leased for farming only and does not include home. It is on 2 seperate tax rolls. what are our options?
Without looking at the will and the title to the property (not just the tax records), there is no good way to give you an answer. I would recommend you talk to an attorney in your area that deals with estate issues, If there was no attorney who set up the estate in 2009, you probably need to find one to consult with. If there was an attorney, that individual may be able to answer your questions.
This answer is for general purposes only, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Your question is much too complicated to answer on this website. All of the relevant documents need to be reviewed to give you an answer/options. I suggest that you look for a probate attorney on this website or at naela.org and call to set up a consultation with that attorney. It might cost you a few hundred dollars; however, if this is important the price is small for good advice.
Best wishes!

A life estate bifurcates title to property. In other words, if you want to sell or otherwise transfer the property, all of the owners as well as the owner of the life estate will have to sign the deed. If she will not do so, you cannot sell it. If you think the house was separated from the land somehow and that she does not have a life estate in the land, you would want to do a title search to make sure. You may also want to look at the property description on the estate's deed granting her the life estate to see if it includes the acreage. Then, go and see an attorney to determine what you can and cannot do based on the accurate information you are then able to give them.

Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other twentysomething girls—with one tiny exception: They are the products of a curse that backfired and gave each of them unique powers that made them, well, a little weird.…
After Celia Wird and her sisters help master vampire Misha save his family, their powers are exposed to the supernatural community of the Lake Tahoe region. But fame comes at a price, and being "weird" isn't always welcome.
To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pureblood status. And once weres start turning up dead—with evidence pointing to the vampires—she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only masks a new threat. An evil known as the Tribe has risen—and their sights are set on Celia and her sisters.
In Cecy Robson's second book of the Weird Girl series, A Cursed Embrace, there is one thing Celia Wird knows for sure, it might sound great to be the focus of a gorgeous alpha werewolf and a sexy Master vampire, but these powerful males want more than just friendship from Celia—and both want to be the one to protect her from harm. Celia is a girl with claws of her own and she knows how to use them. She is used to being the one in charge of everyone else's safety, so she's not a girl who likes to hide behind a man, even ones as strong as Aric and Misha.
"Celia, you don't have to be here. I can take you back home." He groaned. "In fact, I'd rather."
I placed my hand on his shoulder as he attempted to turn the SUV around. "Home's not safe anymore, Aric. If it was, I wouldn't have carcasses falling through my front door. I meant what I said about protecting my family. And about helping you."
When they find that something evil is once again lurking around Tahoe, Celia wants to help the werewolves figure out what is happening, but she finds herself fighting her overprotective guardian angels more often than she fights the other supernatural creatures. And if that isn't enough to make a girl insane, Misha and Aric can't stand to be anywhere each other and both are so focused on being the one to "save" her from danger.
"Misha was just trying to help."
"By trying to seduce you?" Aric's muscles tensed and shook violently beneath my hands.
My breath sputtered as I released it. "I was bleeding from a deep wound in my thigh. All he did was seal it." I glanced back at Misha, hoping he'd back up what I was saying. He didn't. Bastard.
I tried to reason with him. My hand gently touched his face. "Aric, this is not the time. Something terrible is happening. We were attacked by vampires several months back. Yesterday it was a horde of demon children, and today some strange weres. What's going to happen tomorrow? Misha isn't the enemy. We have to figure out who is."
Misha whipped his head away from Aric to glare at me. "You were attacked by a horde of demon children yesterday? And you did not inform me?"
I threw my hands in the air. Great, now they're both pissed at me.
A treaty is finally struck between the local weres, vampires and witches to work together to destroy their common enemy, one who is strong enough to quickly decimate the local preternatural community. Although Aric and Misha both have the same desire to keep Celia safe, their other goal continues to keep these two males at each other's throats.
Aric parked along the curb. Right behind Misha's Hummer limo with the BYTE ME plates. "Please don't do anything, Aric." I leapt out of the SUV, and even though my side was technically closer to the sidewalk, and my speed was generally faster, Aric reached Misha first.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
A glint of annoyance flickered in Misha's cold gray eyes when he caught my hands clasped over Aric's. Aside from that, Misha ignored him to face me. I glanced between Aric and Misha. "I don't think I need to remind either of you about the treaty forbidding you to tear out each other's throats." Both ignored me. The tension between them bitch-slapped the air, so yeah, a gentle reminder appeared worth mentioning. I cleared my throat, adding as much force as I could muster considering that I stood between two of the world's deadliest preternaturals. "No bloodshed allowed—especially on neutral territory."
I said it. I meant it. Too bad I was dealing with a pair of hothead Alpha males who hated each other.
Again, it is up to Celia to keep the peace between Aric and his weres and Misha and his vampires so they can all work together to fight the real danger that is stalking them all.

Gregory Smith
Gregory Smith: Observations
By Sam Hunter
If Gregory Smith's new sculptures radiate a cool, urbane intensity, they also express a refreshing simplicity and wit that reflect his New England roots and, simultaneously, embody his art's firmly modernist foundations.
Weighted with pendulous pouches, the Vermont sculptor's The House of Tears (cat.no.7) is a barely balanced construction that pays glancing homage to Giacometti, Klee and Surrealism in general, just as Old Injuries (cat.no.8) obliquely reminds us of the forms and formal interplay of sculptures by Henry Moore and David Smith, minimized and made more precious in reduced scale. The battered, burnished cylinders in Summertime (cat.no. 4) evoke Duchamp's found objects, while The Observation's (cat.no.6) sere, attenuated figure inevitably brings to mind Giacometti's emaciated human forms.
What sets Smith's pieces apart, however, are not the similarities but the subtle differences between them and their antecedents. Whimsical and deft, his art focuses on the personal and poetic rather than the universally heroic, and thus expresses a slightly ironic, quixotic quality that is quintessentially late-twentieth-century American, teetering on the cusp and tipping over into the maw of an unknowable, possibly brave, new age.
The painted pendants in The House of Tears are lugubriously oversized and, with their unblended strokes of crocodile green and yellow, almost alarmingly tactile. One large tear-shaped form is held by such a slim metal thread that it seems about to drop, while another, smaller form appears only partially suspended from a spiraling wire, as if it had dropped, like a ripe gourd on a withering vine. A third, midway in size between the others, is perched on the edge of a three-legged framework that in turn supports the "tears," a rickety house, apparently held in precarious place only by a frail, umbilical tube.
This is a particularly tense and daring composition, unstable and apprehensive in every way; yet its lyrical implications, to wit, tears, are after all meant to descend, and they can be refreshing and welcome. Even the smallest, a dark-yellow pod hanging by a thin metal cord from the twigs laid across the surface grid, appears vulnerable and prone to damage from the sudden shifting or withdrawal of the emotion needed for its full formation. In formal terms The House of Tears is a logical, exemplary heir to modernist sculpture; conceptually, though, its blend of the visceral and ephemeral adds a fine, edgy twist as it hints at other, more distant forbears. Smith's use of obvious stages of life links his sculpture symbolically to the ages of man, just as his adaptation of a vegetal format refers to the moral hidden in seventeenth-century Dutch still-lives, with their elegiac reminder of man's inevitable progression from womb to tomb.
These implications also enrich, and make the case for time's all too swift passage, with Old Injuries and Summertime, executed in 2003 and 2002 respectively. The biomorphic form of Old Injuries resembles a kidney that has been transformed into a quite endearing, Rube Golberg-esque mechanical/geometric form, painted a whimsical, wistful evening blue. Here a toy-like organ is set on a pedestal that resembles nothing so much as Andy Warhol's prototypical object - a tin can, truncated here - while a dented, battered copper pipe lies on its sloping surface as if to emphasize the kidney shape's status as mere junk, thanks partly to the holes that pierce it and the wires attached to, and penetrating, its surfaces like scars or decorative parasites. In nearly every sense, Old Injuries would seem to be a disagreeable object; in point of fact, it is an elegant assemblage that is entirely satisfying both visually and conceptually.
A similar, by now instinctive and signatory lightness of touch combine with a hard-won philosophical acceptance of things as they are to resonate unexpectedly, in the profound and provocative implications of a mere bundle of dented, slumping copper pipes that make up Summertime. Like a handful of old tubes discarded by a clumsy plumber, they boldly reveal their "old injuries"; at the same time, however, their title elicits a more thoughtful overview, and an appreciation of the pipes' lyrical potential. Once utilitarian, the pipes seem to have been rendered obsolete by something else - perhaps the passage of time, or the destruction of the building they might have inhabited, and the replacement by a newer, better or at least flashier product. And Smith, in a spirit not unlike that of a Dadaist aware of millennial concerns about the environment, redeems them through their unlikely transformation.
The pipes are no longer merely relics of a vanished plumbing system, nor are they stern and tiresome reminders of the wastefulness of a consumer society - though they certainly retain whispers of such references. Instead, they become everything their title suggests: a lazy, hot summer day; the torpor induced by temperatures as hot as the polished gleam of the pipes' copper material; the golden, dizzying feeling of melting into luxurious sloth on a brilliant day in August. The dichotomy within each of Smith's new works is admirably subtle and seductive, dawning gradually on the observer as the artist cunningly undermines our first impressions with multiple meanings embedded in a work that goes well beyond the seemingly frank, direct impact of our first glance.
Smith's wit and mannered indirectness, indeed, delineate a lithe wry, utterly sophisticated approach, one in which the work's visual and intellectual overtones delight the observer in surprising ways and then, to the viewer's delight, resonate and continue to develop density and stature in the imagination. The copper pipes of Summertime, like the balletic curved tubing in Evita's Dream (cat.no.5) and the hollow vessels in The House of Tears, have undergone a metamorphosis and emerged as assemblages that tap into a Jungian unconscious. These witty turns and associations subvert expectations without, paradoxically, denying the considerable impact of each piece in purely visual terms. His work since 2000 shares qualities with landmark sculptural statements: Picasso's 1942 Bull's Head, a deceptively straightforward combination of found objects - a bicycle seat and handlebars, seen from a novel perspective; David Smith's splayed, tensile Australia, with its uneasy balance; and the equally precarious Giacometti, The Palace at 4 A.M. Whether or not these are conscious formal references, they deliberately enrich the viewing experience and tease the mind into a a highly pleasurable state of willing acceptance.
Smith's works of the new millennium, however, draw on a somewhat different sensibility, and on a very different historical period. The angst that pervades the predecessors of a work so in tune with poetry that its title transforms a fragile emotion into a tangible - if visionary or rationally improbable - place, The House of Tears, lingers only as a distant memory. The tubes that revel slackly in the warmth of a summer day, brassy in their buff natural state, and the lush, deliciously swollen shape of a fully formed tear becomes its own raison d'etre in Smith's hand. Intellectually, we are made sharply aware of and yet also enjoy the overtones they so expertly and deftly key. Yet, however rich the correspondences and subtle the homage to the past, Smith's art remains the intelligent and truly witty expression of an artist who has mastered the knowing glance, the telling gesture of his own personal reaction to our post - modern era, with all its multiplying influences, complex ironies and fresh possibilities.

Anthony A. Shaffer, a former spy for the military who went by the preposterous pseudonym "Christopher Stryker," was clever enough to publish a memoir with information the Pentagon would prefer to keep secret. As a result, the military is in negotiations to buy every single copy.
Shaffer's book was reviewed and cleared by the Army, but his former employer, the Defense Intelligence Agency, found secrets in the book, including the names of intelligence operatives, after it was published.
New York Times:
Defense Department officials are negotiating to buy and destroy all 10,000 copies of the first printing of an Afghan war memoir they say contains intelligence secrets, according to two people familiar wit the dispute.
The publication of "Operation Dark Heart," by Anthony A. Shaffer, a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer and a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve, has divided military security reviewers and highlighted the uncertainty about what information poses a genuine threat to security.

Hello! Birthday is coming up for a good friend. Would like to go out with a group of 8-10 people staying below 14th St (since we'll probably head out afterwards). Bday girl is vegetarian (no meat, no fish) but won't subject her friends to the same, loves ethnic foods (Afghani, Indian, Chinatown), favors spicy foods, used to frequent great BYOs in Philadelphia (are there any in NY?)
Please give me some suggestions. Would like a place with decent service who won't rush us out the door (birthday is on a Friday!) All working professionals so cost isn't much of a concern. Thanks much! Cheers!

[4/19/09] On Sunday, April 19th, the Bucs hosted the Trinity Tigers in a game that had to be rescheduled from earlier in the season. The final home game was historic on multiple levels. First and foremost the 21-3 win allowed the Bucs to complete its 5th straight season undefeated, and ran their record during this time to 30-0.
This was also the last home game for Seniors Martin Irish, Andrew Webb, Heath Thompson, James Walker, Ian Flechsig, Derek Sample, and Titus Hawthorne. Other players who would be playing their last home game included David Tomasz, and Connor Hanrahan.
When you add to the mix that the team is going Varsity next year and Southwestern Lacrosse as a club team will cease to exist, the game against Trinity was the last game that would ever be played at SU for the storied Southwestern Club Lacrosse Team.
The Bucs asked Monty Curtis and Stacy Flood to lead them in this game. Monty and Stacy have been the heart and soul of the program since its inception 25 years ago. It was only fitting that they lead the team to victory during the last game to ever be played on the field. As coaches the team signed two game balls and presented them to Monty and Stacy at the end of the contest in appreciation for making the experience that so many have had over the years a wonderful, exciting one.
Obviously with so much to play for, not to be lost was the fact that Trinity is one of Southwestern's biggest rivals in any sport, anywhere. All seniors started the game in appreciation for their hard work over the years. The Bucs wasted no time as they came out firing and took a 6-1 lead into the second stanza. The second quarter, the flood gates opened and the Bucs went into halftime up 17-1. Great shots by Connor (over the back as he was pushed in front of the crease), Derek off an unbelievably quick catch and shoot in the top corner, and multiple other shots off great ball movement by the team.
As the second half started, the Bucs came out flat, at one point having three men in the penalty box. Trinity did not score, but the Bucs did give up two quick goals to start the third. The were the last two the Tigers would score in the game as the Bucs defense clamped down.
Many players deserve accolades for their play on the day. Parker, who stepped in and played beyond his years of experience due to the injury to Hanson at the beginning of the week did an excellent job on the field. Irish, stepped on the field for the first time in over 7 weeks in limited playing time and was able to notch a goal for his efforts. We are cautiously optimistic that he will continue to make progress and be able to contribute more each time he is out there for us as long as the season continues. One thing is for sure. We are a better team with him.
Finally, and maybe one of the best stories of the year, Jimbo Walker, wearing his goalie chest protector and all the regular pads, stepped on to the field as a sniper and placed a quick feed from Thompson right in front of the crease into the back of the net. Walker had been sneaking the short stick into his hands this past week in hopes he could get some time on the field. This was a great story for a player that does not show up on the stat page very often.
However, Walker is the guy everyone team needs, hopes for, and ultimately wants. He is selfless, always doing what is best for the team, often sacrificing himself in ways and on days that no one else notices for the betterment of the team. Someone has to go to the emergency room, he is there, bringing them something, driving them there, staying late if needed, doing whatever needs to be done. If there is a long trip and everyone scatters, he is the guy that stays behind and helps clean the vehicles and helps get them where they need to go after everyone else is gone. No one is harder on themselves than Walker either. He not only wants his team to win, but wants to do his best so that he can help them accomplish that. it is/as been a pleasure to have Walker as a part of this team the past few years. The fact that he got to go in and play at a different position for fun is great. The realization that he was able to do something with that time on the field and others were able to help him get there, was a moment where life comes full circle. I have no doubt he will remember that moment the rest of his life, and rightly so.
Maybe more than any other year, these things are at the forefront of my mind. This is why the only option for the coach of the last game ever for the team at home was monty and Stacy. what a fitting end to a team that has been defined not by others over the years, but by what they have decided to achieve year in and year out. So many memories an so much to be thankful for. It has all been so special.
I can only hope these guys appreciate these moments in time, these days on the team, and these accomplishments they have created, together.
Southwestern will enter the 2009 LSA D2 playoffs next weekend as the #1 seed in the playoffs against Austin College on Saturday, April 25th at Westlake Stadium in Austin, in hopes of capturing a 5th straight Conference Championship and a final trip to Nationals.
I will miss showing up at the field before anyone else, save maybe that one player that was always like me, savoring the entire scene for themselves. I'll miss placing the cones out, and walking the perimeter of the field to calm my nerves and get focused. I'll miss watching the guys on the team show up, literally out of the woodwork, full of stories, and excitement, full of aspirations and looking in their eyes and knowing they were ready to play. I'll also miss seeing the other team arrive and each team measuring themselves against each other. I'll miss the halftime tree, the awesome field, and the fans. Most importantly, i'll miss the opportunity to see so many young men come in unsure of themselves, and watching them walk away from a final game like this brimming with a confidence not only on the field, but ready to tackle life and whatever it brings.
Thanks to the guys on the team, Monty, Stacy, the members of the University that have put up with me for years, and to my family. I walk off that field knowing I did all I could do, and that I was surrounded by the best. I truly believe it takes someone special to be a Southwestern Lacrosse player. I have been fortunate to come along for the ride for 12 years.
Hopefully we still have a few more games in this final season. I know I'm up for it. Thoreau one said that you should never lose sight of your dreams or aspirations, for if you do, you may still live, but you will cease to exist. While the games are done on Moses field at SU and the memories are abundant, my dreams don't end here. The field has always been a stepping stone for so much more for these guys. Let's keep it rolling next weekend, and aspire just a little bit longer, if for nothing else, than that is all Southwestern Lacrosse knows how to do.

I spent this weekend at a Shalom Retreat, and – with mindfulness, practice, and determination – nothing will ever be quite the same for me again. This is at least as true for the ways in which I relate to women as it is for any other aspect of my life. I've developed a sense of my own power (I didn't used to have much sense of that at all), and I've been in contact with some extremely powerful women – embodiments of the Divine Feminine if ever there were any. The combination of these two things – the exposure to such women along with the self-awareness and self-confidence necessary for me to really take them in in all their glory, without fear – has completely rocked my sense of what women are and can be, and how I might be of benefit and service to them without relinquishing my growing sense of my own self. How I can put my own power to use in the service of women, might be another way of saying it.
Earlier today I wrote in my journal:
I think a whole new level of woman is opening up to me; I feel like I'm becoming able to consider approaching and speaking to women like J. and S., who seem to me to need to be related to in a whole different way from many of the women I've related to in the past. I see them as tougher and more demanding than many other women. Immensely powerful and much more intimidating than other women I've related to. And, at least as yet, there is no sexual component there for me regarding these women.
i'm thinking there's a parallel between the way I used to see women like J. and S., and the way fearful men see other women, even those less strong, in whose presence they feel intimidated. I responded with disdain toward S. when we met [a year or two ago – when, in fairness, I saw her plainly avoiding me and wasn't yet capable of responding compassionately to that], and while I'm not sure I ever so disrespected J., I was definitely afraid of her and yearned for her approval. I think this is another before-and-after experience for me, that I'm going to wish I knew how to relate to other men. Perhaps that's where training in facilitation comes in.
Having observed some deep and powerful embodiments of the Divine Feminine in action this weekend, I've also wondered whether it's realistic for me to hope to ever fully understand women, or whether a man's rightful place is to simply understand the limits of his own capacity for understanding, and to respect and honor those aspects of femininity he can never fully grasp.
It's possible too that we men can fully understand the Feminine, but that we have to meet It on Its own terms, and understand less with our minds than with our hearts and souls, our emotional centers. When i think of "understanding" I think of an intellectual function, but understanding is not limited to that. We can feel our way to a much greater understanding than we can arrive at by thinking alone.
Aye, I think that might be a key.

PhD Fellow, Dissertation Year Fellow 2016
"I am a PhD candidate (Political Science) and a Garza PhD Fellow of the Kellogg Institute. I specialize in comparative political behavior. My research interests include survey research, public opinion and voting behavior. Specifically, I study political campaigns, elections, the development of partisan and ideological attachments, as well as the effect of vote-buying, corruption and clientelism on voting behavior.
My dissertation is motivated by a puzzling fact: political campaigns tend to influence voters in some party systems, but seem to be inconsequential in other party systems. In my dissertation, I seek to answer three interrelated questions: Why do campaigns seem to matter in some contexts but not in others? Why it is fairly easy to predict election outcomes in some party systems but not in others? Which voters can be persuaded by campaign information and why? I use a combination of survey research and cross-national data to answer these questions."

Organic photovoltaics (OPV), solar cells based on carbon-based semiconductor materials, are a potential low cost alternative to conventional inorganic semiconductor photovoltaics. They enable the production of lightweight, flexible, and even semitransparent and light polarizing solar panels. This could open up applications that are not practical with inorganic cells. Examples include power producing LCD displays or tinted windows and ultralight large area flexible panels for field or space applications. The fundamentals of OPV will be discussed in this talk as well as our current work in the field.
One type of organic photovoltaic device is the polymer-fullerene bulk heterojuction (BHJ) cell that our group focuses on. A BHJ is a nanoscale phase separated blend of a semiconducting polymer and a buckminsterfullerene (C60) derivative. This design allows for efficient separation of the tightly bound electron hole pairs (excitons) that form in illuminated organic semiconductors. The structure of the bulk heterojunction has a large effect on performance and controlling this morphology is critical to fabricating high performance devices.
One strategy to achieve higher performance devices is to combine two cells with complementary spectral absorption ranges into a vertically stacked, serially connected "tandem" device. Having materials with two different bandgaps allows more of the energy of the high-energy photons to be recovered, which would otherwise be wasted if a single low bandgap material absorbed them. This approach can lead to higher efficiency than is possible with a single cell. Our recent work has verified the expected advantages of stacked over single layer devices, and an NREL certified 8.6% device will be reported in my presentation.
Yang Yang holds a BS in Physics from the National Cheng-Kung University in Taiwan in 1982, and he received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics and Applied Physics from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell in 1988 and 1992, respectively. Before he joined UCLA in 1997, he served on the reseasrch staff of UNIAX (now DuPont Display) in Santa Barbara from 1992 to 1996. Yang is now the Carol and Lawrence E. Tannas Jr. Endowed Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA. He is a materials physicist with expertise in the fields of organic electronics, organic/inorganic interface engineering, and the development and fabrication of related devices, such as photovoltaic cells, LEDs, and memory devices.
His notable contributions to the field of organic photovoltaics are an enhanced understanding of polymer morphology and its influence on device performance; the invention of the inverted organic solar cell, the inverted tandem solar cell, and photovoltaic polarizers for LCD applications. Together with Solarmer Energy Inc. (spun-off from UCLA) and Prof. Luping Yu at the University of Chicago, he has taken part in the creation of several world record cells in organic photovoltaics. In addition to organic solar cells, his group is also heavily involved in the development of liquid-processable CIGS/CZTS photovoltaics. His group has achieved approximately 11.2% PCE using a CISS absorber layer deposited from a solution- phase precursor system.
Yang has received the following honors/awards: The Carol and Lawrence E.
