(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer Chicago linebacker Lance Briggs insists he is only thinking about beating the Detroit Lions and reaching the playoffs. The idea that this could be the last go-around with his coaches and some teammates? The seven-time Pro Bowler says he's not thinking about what might happen if the Bears (9-6) lose Sunday at Detroit. They're in danger of missing the playoffs for the fifth time in six years, and even if they beat the Lions, they would need help from rival Green Bay. If they don't reach the postseason, there is speculation that coach Lovie Smith could be gone. Brian Urlacher has an expiring contract and might be on his way out, too, but Briggs said he isn't thinking about those possibilities. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

They don't send you the pass. They expect you to add the picture and all information on-line. So if you are buying as gifts it's impossible to activate the pass. Then when you do activate the pass it takes approximately 8 weeks to get it to you, that's 2 months of the 12 that you don't even have the pass to you
Sounds like a good deal but too many problems attached.
By Athena, Submitted on 2015-02-25
It says that you can go to Trafalga or Seven Peaks to get your cards, it just has to be within 30 days of purchasing this online. You don't have to wait for 2 months to get the cards. =-) We LOVE our Pass of All Passes and this is a fabulous deal!!!
By Matthew, Submitted on 2015-02-25
So it turns out that the 1st reviewer was mostly correct. The people at the info desk in the skating rink area of Seven Peaks said we could go to Trafalga or the actual water park office around the corner, but that office was actually closed. And Trafalga said we had to go online and do it. Fortunately, you can use the ticket they send you in the mail as your pass for 30 days. I hope this clarifies things for more people.

Geneva Lake Travel Tips
Lake Geneva in southeast Wisconsin is within easy reach from Milwaukee, one of the most outstanding areas of natural beauty in the Midwest. Popular with Chicago residents, it has earned the nickname "Newport of the West." Lake Geneva is lined with historic homes and estates with all manner of architectural styles in evidence from Gothic Revival to Arts and Crafts. These lovely mansions can all be viewed from the Lake Geneva shore path. Golfers, ladies' groups, winter sports enthusiasts, and those taking part in a bachelor or bachelorette party weekend will certainly have fun in the area. The lake offers plenty of water sports and activities all year round.
Things to do at Lake Geneva Vacation Rentals
A vacation on Lake Geneva can be as active or as lazy as you like. The lake offers a sandy beach, boating, fishing, swimming, waterskiing and more. The area is also known for its golf courses, parades, festivals and antique shops. The Geneva Lake Cruise Line offers trips on the oldest continuous mailboat service in the U.S. Lake Geneva is also home to the largest refracting telescope at Yerkes Observatory which offers an interesting day out.
Stroll down historic Main Street, browse the delightful antique shops, and sample delicious Wisconsin cuisine which can be bought in the downtown area. Lake Geneva is just a short drive from the Alpine Valley and the Grand Geneva ski resorts which offer concerts and entertainment all year round.
The Many Advantages of Lake Geneva Lodging
Renting a Lake Geneva vacation home is the perfect way to enjoy this idyllic area. Many homes have beautiful views to be enjoyed as you eat a leisurely breakfast. Sit outside and soak up the peaceful atmosphere from your private vacation rental or head out and explore the area. Lake Geneva vacation homes are comfortable and spacious and ideal for family vacations or those traveling with friends. With plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens, it is easy to spread out and do your own thing. Affordable and flexible, they also make good sense for those on special diets.
Getting to Lake Geneva Resorts
Lake Geneva is just an hour's drive from Chicago and Milwaukee lodging so many people drive to this lovely resort. Those from other states can fly into General Mitchell International airport in Milwaukee which is just 37 miles from the lake. A car is advisable for exploring the area around your Lake Geneva lodging.
Neighborhoods Around Lake Geneva
For a pleasant day out from Lake Geneva, visit nearby Springfield which has a 100-year old train depot. Lake Como has a number of parks to enjoy and is a pleasant place for a stroll. Milwaukee offers a host of attractions including the Harley Davidson Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, with exhibits from Picasso and Andy Warhol, and the castle-like mansion of Captain Frederick Pabst which is on the Grand Avenue of Mansions. The lakefront brewery also offers tours to see its production of Riverwest Stein and other special bitters. Janesville is also a good place to enjoy quiet relaxation and walks by Gibbs Lake. It is the home of General Motors which offers guided tours. Janesville also has some of the most scenic golf courses in the area.
The Climate of Lake Geneva, WI
Lake Geneva is pleasantly warm in the summer months, when temperatures are in the 70s F but cooler after dark. The winters turn very cold with daytime highs in the 20s F but it is a great time for skiers and snowsports enthusiasts to visit the area. Rain may fall throughout the year and the annual precipitation is 37 inches, with around four inches falling during August.

Fulham manager Martin Jol hopes captain Danny Murphy will remain at the club where he has become such an important part of the "playing culture".
The 35-year-old joined the Cottagers in 2007 from Tottenham and has written himself into club folklore, leading them to the 2010 Europa League final, but his contract runs out at the end of the season.
Jol said he is hopeful Murphy will stay for at least another year "if we can agree on the terms" of a new deal.

Kelly Schade is College Division GTE Academic All-America of the Year
STAMFORD, CT--Kelly Schade, a softball player from Simpson (Iowa) College, and Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Matt Stinchcomb, a graduate of the University of Georgia, were chosen the 1998-99 GTE Academic All-America of the Year Team Members for all sports.
The selections were announced following a special committee voting of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Schade earned the honors for the College (Division II and III) Division and Stinchcomb was the recipient in the University (Division I-A and I-AA) Division.Schade was one of the top pitchers in the history of NCAA softball. In 1999, she pitched 25 shutouts, had 37 wins and 371 strikeouts, all Division III records. She also hurled two shutouts and won four games in the NCAA tournament in leading her team to its second national title in three years.
Presently a member of the Virginia Roadsters of the WPSL, she graduated with a 3.94 GPA as an economics major and was also a GTE Academic All-American for two seasons.
Stinchcomb, a native of Lilburn, Ga., was a two-time All-American at Georgia and a finalist for the 1998 Lombardi Award as the nation's top lineman. He was also a two-time GTE Academic All-America team member who graduated with a 3.94 grade point average (GPA) as a finance major and was the Raiders' first round selection (18th overall) in the 1999 NFL draft. He suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason and will miss the entire 1999 NFL season.
To be eligible for the GTE Academic All-America Team, an athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.20 on a scale of 4.00. Throughout the 1998-99 academic year, a GTE Academic All-America Team Member of the Year was named in each of 10 programs (football, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, men's and women's fall at-large and men's and women's spring at-large) in the University and College Divisions.
Schade and Stinchcomb were chosen from among these 20 finalists.

According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury, 134 football players - from youth to high school, college to pro, have died from heat stroke between 1960 and 2013. Five football players and one coach died from heat-related illness in the summer of 2011, but, in 2012-2013. Despite the fact that there was only one heat stroke fatality, it is an everpresent concern in football.
The reason, according to an August 2008 study by researchers at University of Florida, is that football players are especially vulnerable to heat illness because:
- They practice and play in hot, humid conditions, often in direct sunlight. Under common game and practice conditions of 70 degree temperatures and 50 percent humidity, a rise in the player's core temperature is unavoidable.
- They often have a high body mass index (ratio of body mass to body surface area)
- Football protective equipment (helmet, pads, gloves, bandages, socks) all act as thermal insulators;
- The physical nature of the game leads to very high metabolic heat production;
- Fluid loss via sweating occurs at rates that exceed the ability of the player to replenish by drinking, with athletes frequently only replacing half of body-fluid losses from exercise;
- They do not feel thirsty until after they are already dehydrated;
- As little as 2% dehydration can hinder body temperature control and further predisposes a player to developing heat illness; and
- In many circumstances, the ambient and under-uniform humidity are so high that evaporative heat loss is significantly impaired.
It is therefore critically important that football programs take steps to reduce the risk that players will suffer heat-related illnesses, especially during hot weather in the summer and fall.

Board of Animal Health confirms Becker County cows died of anthraxThe Minnesota board of Animal health confirmed Tuesday that two cows on a Becker county farm died last week of anthrax, the first anthrax cases in 2008.
By: Park Rapids Enterprise, DL-Online
The Minnesota board of Animal health confirmed Tuesday that two cows on a Becker county farm died last week of anthrax, the first anthrax cases in 2008.
The herd will remain under quarantine for 30 days from the day the last death occurs from anthrax.
After the dead cows were discovered on pasture, a blood sample was collected and sent to the North Dakota State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Fargo. Tests confirmed the samples were positive for anthrax. The herd was not vaccinated for anthrax this year.
Anthrax is a naturally occurring disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. All warm-blooded animals are susceptible to the disease but cattle, sheep and goats are the most commonly affected species. In rare cases, humans can contract anthrax after handling or eating infected products.
Animals are most likely to be affected by anthrax in the summer while out on pasture. Although it is unusual to see a case of anthrax so early in the year, these animals were on pasture in an area where cases have been detected in the apt.
Cases typically occur in areas where animals have previously died of anthrax. Anthrax is not spread by animal-to-animal contact.
"Anthrax spores can survive for many years in the soil," said Board of Animal Health Senior Veterinarian Dr. Linda Glaser. "In recent years, anthrax has been found in northwestern Minnesota but it is important to understand that western Minnesota does have a history of anthrax and producers should seriously consider anthrax vaccinations for grazing animals."
Cattle producers should contact a veterinarian for information on vaccinating animals.
Any animal that dies suddenly of an unknown cause in western Minnesota should be treated as an anthrax suspect. Producers should contact their veterinarian immediately so blood samples can be submitted for testing. If anthrax is confirmed, any remaining animals should be vaccinated and treated.
Necropsies should not be performed on suspect carcasses as the procedure can result in contamination of surrounding soil. All suspect cases of anthrax must be reported to the Minnesota board of Animal Health at 651-201-6831.
For more information on anthrax and steps farmers can take to protect their cattle, visit the Board of Animal Health Web site at www.bah.state.mn.us.

I still say Mother Nature is going to give us a "gotcha," if not this week, in the next week or 2. After all of those 100 degree plus actual or heat index temperatures last summer, us snow lovers are DUE at least one good snow! Didn't we have a big Presidents' Day snowstorm back in the late 1970's?
I would love for it to SNOW SNOW SNOW this weekend. I want at least one good snow... I love winter...
You and me, both! Doesn't have to be 2 feet of snow, but enough to really cover the ground would be nice.
I would love to get some snow before we see this season end! It just doesn't seem like a real winter without at least one good one!
I used to love snow. I have lived in a number of states that receive substantial snow in the winters. I am a practiced driver when it comes to driving in it. However, after Snowmeggedon, the ice damming of my, umm, gosh darn Dutch colonial, and the waist-high ice barricades in the roads formed by ruts in our community, I am not keen on substantial snow accumulations anymore.

iPhone 4S debuts, surpasses 1,000,000 pre-orders in a day
If that photo above looks suspiciously like the iPhone 4 to you, you're not wrong – when Apple unveiled the next update for the iPhone line in the iPhone 4S, they changed virtually nothing about the way the phone looks on the outside. There are changes inside, to be sure, but the lack of an exterior design change coupled with the incremental upgrade effect of the iPhone 4S (where many hoped for an all-new iPhone 5) made for initial mixed reviews.
Well, those initial reviews haven't added up to much – in the first 24 hours of pre-ordering which recently concluded, over one million of the devices were ordered, shattering the previous record the iPhone 4 had set at six hundred thousand. There are many reasons possible reasons for the surge, not least among them the fact that the iPhone 4 initially sold to AT&T only, whereas the iPhone 4S is debuting on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint – but that doesn't make it any less impressive.
If you missed the initial pre-ordering frenzy but still want to get in on the fun, check out our iPhone roundup, complete with ordering info for each of the carriers. As for what changed, you'll find a faster processor, improved camera, and some much touted voice recognition software on the latest iPhone. If you're looking for an older model or just want to save some money, the entry point for the iPhone 3GS is now $0, and a new 8GB iPhone 4 can be had for just $99.
We think the increased availability of the iPhone on more carriers is a good thing, as more consumers will now have more choices. It also spurs innovation by forcing more phones to compete with one another for consumer attention. The continued success of the iPhone line is a fitting testament to the recently departed Steve Jobs.

I tried to buy one of today's Logicbuy deals. Coupon was not honored. I tried to leave a message in Logicbuy's Contact form and filled in all fields, but pressing Send had no effect; it returned me to the unsent message with no indication of an error. Very disappointing.
Here is message I tried to leave in Contact form:
Subject: Buffalo MiniStation Stealth 1TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive
I followed instructions to buy above-referenced deal. I applied your coupon code J40LCGCQ71WCD$. Coupon gave discount of $8, not $25. Will you take steps necessary to honor your deal?
Following is Dell's description of your coupon, under heading "Discount Details": "Save $8 on a Buffalo Technology 1TB MiniStation Stealth Portable External Drive USB 3.0. Expires Thursday, October 27, 2011″

A modern day Assassin's Creed game is possible, according to comments from lead writer on the series Darby McDevitt today during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
As relayed from the company's Twitter feed, McDevitt said, "there's always a chance, but one of the biggest draws of the series is the historical 'tourism.'"
Past entries in the Assassin's Creed series have been set during various periods in history, including Colonial America, the Third Crusade, and the Renaissance.
Also during the panel, McDevitt offered a more concrete tease about the future of the Assassin's Creed series, saying a feudal Japan setting excites him.
"I think the Shogunate is in a cool era, but it's not up to one person, and whatever we do, we'll make it cool," he said.
Ubisoft also used its Comic-Con showing to reveal an all-new Assassin's Creed comic book called Assassin's Creed: Brahman. It takes place in 19th century India under British rule and stars new hero Arbaaz Mir. The comic will release later this fall alongside Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

wow, that street painting is really nice. good job! my only recommendation at this point is to loosen up your lines in your sketches more, you're going over and over the same area too many times, think bigger, faster strokes to build up your figure/form gradually
keep posting!

that's because it was from a photo,
all the others are made from the mirror.
when you draw from a photo you have more time.
this was made in 2 weeks.

Tel Aviv celebrates its centennial [Video]
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On March 11, 2009 @ 3:11 pm In | No Comments
Founded on the sand dunes north of the old sea port of Jaffa 100 years ago, Tel Aviv has become the bustling cultural and economic heart of Israel.
Envisioned as the main gateway into Israel, the city has developed into an exciting and dynamic city that's always on the go. Three million pass through the city every day.
In 2003, UNESCO declared it a world heritage site because of the restoration work to the city's many Bauhaus buildings, and the New York Times recently labeled it "the capital of Mediterranean cool".
In honor of the city's centennial, dozens of celebrations are planned for the year ahead, from city marathons, to white nights, art exhibitions, and cultural events.
Organizers hope the centennial festivities will do for Tel Aviv what the Beijing Olympics did for China's capital.

For Immediate Release: 5/9/2011
Providence, R.I.--Three students … three dramatically different academic majors … one shared belief that they have been undoubtedly changed by their four years at Providence College.
On Saturday, May 14, Yi Cao '11 (East Providence, R.I.), Nicole M. Kenny '11 (Fairfield, N.J.), and Megan E. Moran '11 (West Haven, Conn.) will be honored as the students with the highest academic rank in the Class of 2011 at the Academic Awards Ceremony. Each student has received straight A's--for a 4.0 grade point average--throughout her academic career at PC.
As is the custom, the valedictorian delivers an address to the graduating class. The three top students this year have decided that Kenny will speak to her classmates--a speech that will include the thoughts of Cao and Moran.
"My goal is to commend and congratulate the Class of 2011 on our hard work, to encourage us to take what we have learned at PC inside and outside the classroom and use it to effect change, and to hold our PC experience in our hearts and remember all of the wonderful relationships we have made," Kenny said.
Student-scholars up close:
During her time at PC, Cao has worked with PC Circle K (the College's chapter of the international collegiate service organization supported by Kiwanis International), the Biology Society, Campus Ministry's Hospital Outreach, and as a math tutor in the Office of Academic Services.
A student-researcher in the research lab led by Rev. Nicanor Austriaco, O.P., assistant professor of biology, Cao is a member of the Alpha Epsilon Delta (premedical), Pi Mu Epsilon (mathematics), Chi Omega Lamda (biochemistry and molecular biology), and Sigma Xi (scientific research) honor societies.
The co-recipient of the 2009 Rev. Paul van K. Thomson Award, which is presented to students who best demonstrate exemplary, sustained work in the Honors Development of Western Civilization Program, Cao said her PC education has allowed her to grow in ways she couldn't have envisioned.
"PC has really allowed me to gain confidence and grow as a person," Cao said. "The education here has definitely broadened my perspective."
Nicole Kenny, an English major and public and community service studies minor, will work as a development assistant for the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association (RIFPA) and as a community relations intern at Blue Cross & Blue Shield of R.I. this summer. In the fall, she will work full time for RIFPA.
A member of the Liberal Arts Honors Program, Kenny has participated in a number of service activities during her four years at PC. She has been a community liaison for the San Miguel School, a writing tutor in the Office of Academic Services, a New Student Orientation leader, and has been involved in activities that raise awareness about violence against women.
Kenny said her time at PC has offered her a "warm and supportive community," an "excellent academic education," and the opportunity for self-discovery.
"I am certain that my four years at Providence College will be some of the most formative years of my life," she said. "I am thankful for the friends I have made, the professors who have taught me, and the lessons I have learned in and out of the classroom."
Megan Moran, an elementary/special education major, said her goal is to "inspire the minds" of young children and earn her master's degree in special education or literacy.
Moran has volunteered for events for the Rhode Island Special Olympics at PC and has participated in Colleges Against Cancer and the Education Club. She has also dedicated a great deal of time to tutoring students in the areas of reading, writing, and math. She is a member of the Alpha Epsilon Alpha (international reading association) and Kappa Delta Pi (education) honor societies.
Moran said as she looks back on her time at PC, she has come to recognize "the overwhelming value of each and every experience and opportunity" with which she has been presented.
"I cannot even begin to thank Providence College for all the eye-opening opportunities with which I have been presented and the long-lasting friendships that have developed and grown over the years," Moran said. "There is no doubt that wherever I go and whatever path I choose, I will never forget the wonderful experiences and the life-long memories that I have made throughout my four amazing years here."

Kissimmee West Travel Tips
Atypical Attractions close to Disney Vacation Rentals
Obviously your vacation to East Kissimmee, Florida will involve the Disney theme park. There is so much to see and do in the area that it seems a shame to not plan a few other excursions from your Disney vacation rentals. Take the kids to the local petting farm or enjoy an airboat or biplane ride while you are visiting Kissimmee.
The Home Base of Disney Vacation Rentals
Destination: fun! Kissimmee resorts and Kissimmee villas have so much to offer the young family. Very young children will enjoy the laid-back, down-home atmosphere of the local petting zoo, perhaps more than the theme park itself. Hug a duck, kiss a cow, and hear funny stories about the goats at the Green Meadows Petting Farm. It's a great way to waste away the afternoon with a kid under 12 years old.
Explore the Countryside near Kissimmee Resorts
There is a reason Disney vacation rentals are located in Kissimmee: the natural beauty of the area is absolutely astounding. Book an airboat ride and zip across the swamps with the wind in your hair. Keep your eyes open because you may spot an alligator mama with her cuddly babies near any one of the Kissimmee resorts. Ask about night tours if you really crave to see the wildlife in its element. Kissimmee villas are easily accessible to the airboat tour.
Look out the Biplane Window for the Rooftops of Kissimmee Villas
See Disney vacation rentals from a whole new angle when you take a biplane ride over the city. The pilot keeps both hands on the wheel and still points out the colorful roofs of Kissimmee resorts and Kissimmee villas zooming past below. You will feel at one with the sky and the air in the open cockpit of the biplane, creating vacation memories you will not soon forget.

BlackBerry CEO to hit Australia in March
blog His company's finances have long been heading south, its enterprise market share is being eaten wholesale by the likes of Apple and Nokia, and its latest operating system still suffers from poor third-party app support. But BlackBerry chief executive Thorsten Heins still has a smile on his face, and his new smartphones are getting decent reviews. Yesterday it was revealed the executive would bring that smile to Australia on Monday 18 March to launch the new BlackBerrys and share the happiness. Praise be. An invitation sent by BlackBerry to media this week states:
"Hosted by BlackBerry Australia's managing director, Matthew Ball, the forum will include a keynote presentation by BlackBerry president and CEO Thorsten Heins and a live demonstration of the key features of BlackBerry 10; [and a] panel discussion on the future of mobile technology in the workplace, moderated by Adam Spencer, and featuring key industry panellists, including BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heuns and some of Australia's prominent business leaders."
You know the drill. Delimiter will be at the event, video camera in tow. If you have questions for the Thorsten-meister, let us know and we'll put them to him. But try not to be too harsh; after all, BlackBerry's just getting back on its feet after a long convalescence. Or is it? Only time will tell.

I don't watch much TV, but I do watch a lot of TV on DVD. I periodically pull the first season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or "South Park" or "Seinfeld" off the shelf and work through the whole series in lieu of watching primetime, and then move on to the next. Yesterday for the second time I finished "Arrested Development," easily the best new sitcom in a decade and tragic victim of its own brilliance. What made the show so hilarious were the running, inside and occasionally hidden jokes.
Example: In the final episode, George Michael Bluth (Michael Cera) is trying to get back with his frumpy, pious old girlfriend Ann—"Her?"—and he stops by her uncle's house. With Ron Howard's narration, we learn that Uncle Paul believes we only have three weeks left on Earth and "that fossils were just something the Jews buried in 1924."
When the word "Jew" is mentioned, the viewer very briefly sees Ann's uncle stick both index fingers above his ears.
I couldn't find that clip online, but, for fans, the above appreciation is good for quite a few laughs. Man, I am really hoping for that rumored movie.

Unlike most radishes, the black radish (Raphanus sativus) is grown for medical purposes rather than for food. This plant is spicy, white on the inside with a thin black coating.
Remember that it is extremely important to have a clear diagnosis before applying any treatment made from this plant. Many diseases have similar symptoms: if you treat a disease that you do not have or treat only a symptom of a more complex disease, it is likely to delay the treatment of a serious problem. In other words, the greatest danger when you treat yourself is to set your own diagnosis. If you do not know exactly what disease you have; you cannot treat it!
The black radish has a high content of sulfur, potassium, iron and magnesium.
Long time ago the black radish roots were used in Europe as a gastrointestinal tract stimulant and as the bile cleanser and pain relief drug. The powder obtained from the black radish root is often used in treatments for the liver, bladder and the digestive system.
The black radish has a high nutrient content, which is beneficial for the liver, bladder and the digestive system, while it also helps to overcome the vitamins deficiencies and it also helps the thyroid gland and the respiratory system. Moreover, the black radish is an effective antioxidant that fights against aging, colds and flu.
It is said that the black radish has a great effect on the liver, activating and regenerating the liver cells. It acts as a substance that stimulates the production of the bile from the liver to the intestines, comforting the liver and helping to detoxify and purify it. In this way, the black radish cleans and purifies the blood and the sand in the bladder.
As an herbal diuretic, the black radish increases the urine production, which plays an important role in the digestive process and it facilitates the elimination of the food that remains stagnant and toxic. The black radish is also known for its antibacterial effects that help to eliminate the pathogens through the digestive tract and it is used to reduce the indigestion, the abdominal bloating and the acid regurgitation (acid reflux).
The black radish contains many vitamins and minerals and it is useful in treating situations of vitamins deficiencies. It is especially rich in the vitamin C, which is effective in the fight against scurvy. The black radish is very useful in winter, fighting infections and the free radicals. It is also considered a good antiviral, useful against the flu.
The raphanin content of the black radish helps maintaining the balance of the hormone levels secreted by the thyroid gland and medics believe that it helps in the case of hyperthyroidism or Graves's disease. All cruciferous vegetables inhibit the production of thyroid hormones, but the best of all is the black radish. In Russia, the black radish was used for a very long time as a treatment for the thyroid problems or those related to hormonal balance.

Croatia Overview
Croatia entered the European Union (EU) on July 1, 2013 as the 28th member state. The government has been striving to raise Croatia's competitiveness to compete in the large EU market and maximize the opportunities that membership brings, especially the absorption of a large amount of EU Structural Funds.
Before the global financial crisis of 2008-09, the Croatian economy grew at a healthy 4-5% annually, incomes doubled, and economic and social opportunities dramatically improved. The prolonged crisis is testing this progress, as well as Croatia's aspirations, as the country is now entering its sixth year of recession, having lost over 12 % of its output.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to fall by 0.5% in 2014. There is more optimism about the prospect for growth in 2015, with exports projected to pick up in the Eurozone and private investments expected to increase. The privatization of large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and the availability of EU funds (in net terms about 2% of GDP per year) should also help growth prospects in the medium term. The structural reforms that the Government has launched for labor, pension, and social benefits - as well as areas in the investment climate -could help stimulate job creation, productivity, and social cohesion. However, the outlook for the short term in Croatia remains difficult.
Unemployment rose to 17% at the end of 2013 and youth unemployment, at over 40%, remains one of the highest in Europe. The private sector has been bearing the brunt of the crisis with most jobs lost in manufacturing, construction, and trade. Public debt is estimated to have risen above 64% of GDP in 2013 and external debt will likely be close to 103% of GDP.
Before the recession, poverty was below 10% and mainly affected those without a job for more than three years and low-skilled workers but the protracted recession has led to an increase, and the poverty rate now stands at 18%. Today, due to the prolonged recession, the profile of the poor is changing, with normally economically active, better educated and younger people living in urban areas falling into poverty.
The Croatian economy is less competitive than its peers. From 2007 to 2013, Croatia's private sector share of GDP remained at 70% - lower than its EU peers. To achieve private sector-led growth and faster EU convergence, actions are needed to liberalize the labor market, jump-start enterprise restructuring and the kind of new business creation and old firm exits required for the economy to reorient itself toward one reliant on knowledge, innovation, and transit-related services to maximize its geo-economic advantage as Europe's transport hub.
Croatia spends 7.8% of it GDP on health, among the highest for new EU members. Like most other European countries, Croatia is expecting profound changes in its population structure over the next 50 years, as the elderly population grows and the need for health services and long-term care services rise. A challenge is to provide better health services and improve efficiency while reducing public spending on health.
Substantial reforms and improvements have been made in the Croatian education sector, but advances have been slow in improving the efficiency and the quality of higher education to better respond to the needs of the labor market. While more children and youth are enrolling in school programs (60% at the pre-school level, near universal enrollment at the primary level, and 88% at the secondary level), Croatia's enrollment levels remain below the EU and the Organization of European Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Croatia has the geopolitical advantage of being situated along three pan-European transport corridors linking the EU and South East Europe and the Croatian authorities have invested heavily in developing this transport network. Prior to its accession to the EU, Croatia launched major reforms for the railway sector, in compliance with EU directives. However, the sector stil, faces numerous institutional and organizational issues and challenges. Croatia's accession to the EU provides unique opportunities for the country to modernize its key international corridors through the use of EU Structural Funds, and to open up the railway sector to increased investment, market competitiveness, and efficiency.
Croatia remains an ecological treasure in Europe, with 47% of its land and 39% of its sea designated as specially protected areas and areas of conservation. Croatia boasts 19 National and Nature Parks, with some- such as the Plitvice Lakes National Park - designated as United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage sites. Croatia's natural beauty draws in millions of tourists each year, with tourism revenues representing around 15% of the country's GDP. Preservation of the environment is high on the development agenda and has been a requirement for European Union membership.
With EU membership, Croatia became party to the 2020 Climate and Energy Package, a set of binding legislation that aims to ensure that the EU meets its ambitious climate and energy targets for 2020 Croatia is doing well on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Today these emissions are smaller compared to the baseline of 1990 - amounting to less than 0.1 percent of global emissions. On the other hand, Croatia needs to put more effort into scaling-up renewable energy resource (RER) and energy-efficiency (EE) programs to alleviate energy security concerns and improve access to reliable and affordable energy imports
The World Bank Group is now transitioning from a focus on projects and lending in Croatia to a knowledge partnership. This strategy continues to help the country maximize the benefits of EU membership and implement structural and institutional reforms that would boost competitiveness and institutional capacity-building related to EU membership. At the same time, the engagement will focus on boosting the income growth of the bottom 40% of the population—that is, looking at whether the welfare of the poorest segment of society is improving and whether the prosperity is being shared among all segments of society. Tactics for this effort include:
- supporting fiscal consolidation to speed up sustained growth, with an emphasis on expenditure rationalization to ensure fiscal sustainability over the medium-term
- improving Croatia's competitiveness, centering on the needed structural, institutional, and governance reforms, so that Croatia can catch up with its EU peers
- helping Croatia maximize the economic benefits of becoming an EU member state by increasing the country's capacity to implement harmonized policies, to absorb the large increase in EU Funds, and help use these resources effectively
The World Bank's activities in Croatia are guided by the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), agreed on by the government in 2013 and covering the period from 2014-2017. This Strategy prioritizes aspects of the Europe 2020 'smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth' strategy and the Government's reform agenda that focuses on the fundamentals of economic management, state institutions, the business environment, and responsibility toward shared regional resources. This is coupled with supporting Croatia in making good use of large amounts of EU grants that have come with membership.
Since joining the World Bank in 1993, Croatia has received support from the World Bank Group in the form of financial and technical assistance, policy advice, and analytical services. To date, the Bank has supported 50 projects in the amount of $3.3 billion and has approved 52 grants with a total value of $70 million. The total active lending portfolio as of April 2014 consists of 10 projects, totaling $696 million.
Croatia became a member and shareholder of the IFC in 1993. Since then, IFC's investment in Croatia has totaled $1.1 billion, including $292 million in syndicated loans in 31 projects across a variety of sectors. IFC's committed investment portfolio in Croatia as of December 31, 2013 was $287 million. In FY13, IFC invested $150 million in Croatia - including $56 million in syndicated loans.
IFC's investments have financed projects in the financial markets, general manufacturing, tourism, and agribusiness sectors. Across all sectors, IFC prioritizes investment in Croatia's less-developed regions and in projects that contribute to greater economic diversification and regional integration.
Since Croatia joined the World Bank in 1993, projects have supported reforms in areas such as agriculture, judiciary, tax administration, land registry and cadastre, infrastructure, transportation, the environment, emergency medical services, improving social welfare, and job creation. Current operations are supporting the country's accession efforts and mitigating the impact of the global economic crisis.
Project highlights include:
Unexpected Outcomes: Discovering Croatia's Past by Building for the Future
A wastewater management project along Croatia's Adriatic Coast recently uncovered a 2,000-year-old vessel in the town of Pula. Funds were made available to help excavate and preserve this archeological relic. Following the excavation of this ship - which paired international experts with their Croatian counterparts - efforts are now underway to desalinize the vessel and preserve it so that generations to come can glimpse into the past of this seafaring community.
In Croatia: Upgrades to the Emergency Medical System Saves Lives
An emergency medical system is finally in place in Croatia, where for years there were no separate facilities for urgent medical treatment. Under the system, hundreds of technicians are now on 24-hour call across the country, able to explain to often panic-stricken callers what steps to take until emergency aid arrives.
In Croatia: Helping Farmers Comply with EU Standards
The pollution control project aims at promoting better and safer agricultural practices in Croatia. The World Bank-supported project, financed by the Global Environmental Facility, is helping the country meet European Union standards, in part by implementing controls on the nitrates and other minerals involved in farming, which can be harmful when they enter the country's water system. Under the project, agricultural specialists are out sampling the water deep beneath the soil of some 1,400 hectares of Croatia's fields and orchards.
Clean Water Cleans Sea on Croatia's Famed Coastline
21 regions along Croatia's Adriatic coastline are participating in the project, which expects to triple the number of the costal area's households and businesses that are connected to sewage treatment services.
In Croatia: Helping Exports Expand
More than €72 million in credit have been distributed so far under the government's export finance project, which is backed with World Bank funds. The project's objective is to support the preservation and growth of Croatia's exports, through providing medium- and long-term capital to exporters and foreign exchange earning companies.
Ensuring that Croatia's Vulnerable are Better Served and Protected
Drawing on World Bank funding and expertise since 2006, Croatia has improved the delivery and quality of social services for nearly 13,500 beneficiaries (children, youth, elderly, disabled), financed start-up costs for 34 innovative community-based social services projects, improved living and working conditions in 45 residential institutions, and initiated the development of the first social welfare information management system.
The Social Welfare Development Project (SWDP) was designed to assist the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in modernizing the quality and delivery of social services to the most vulnerable and needy in Croatian society, and to improve the administration of the overall social welfare system, including the living and working conditions in the social welfare institutions.
Transforming Croatia's Rijeka Port and City
Rijeka has been an important port over the centuries, changing hands as it changed rulers, and cycling through boom and bust. In the past decade, Rijeka has been in need of an economic boost, and is getting one thanks to a public-private partnership involving government authorities and one of the largest private terminal operators in the world, International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI).
The long-term plan is to make the port—a gateway to Central Europe—competitive for handling containers and other maritime traffic, while making the city more livable for its citizens and more attractive to tourists.
The ambitious and massive overhaul of Rijeka's port is a project of the government—through the state-run port authority and the roads company—and the municipality of Rijeka, with close support from the World Bank.
Restoring Livelihoods in Croatia
Fifteen years after the end of hostilities in Croatia, some people still live in areas where roads, buildings and the water supply are destroyed and the land is littered with mines. Jobs are scarce.
But 84,000 people in parts of the country affected by war or underdevelopment have had help catching up with more developed areas thanks to the Social and Economic Recovery Project, which created 1,341 new jobs, almost half of which were filled by women. EUR 11 million was generated by small businesses, crafts and cooperatives and since 2005 some 12 square kilometers of mine-contaminated land has been cleared allowing people to use their land safely without fearing for their lives or property.
In addition, the project funded more than 400 smaller initiatives: kindergarten and school construction, water supply, community centers, treatment centers for drug abusers, olive grinding machines, and landmine clearing equipment.
Other recent achievements:
- The World Bank contributed to Croatia's efforts in fiscal consolidation and mitigation of the social impact of the financial crisis through two development policy loans in 2010 and 2011 and a third one is under preparation
- Jobs and exports are being preserved through loans to private companies for working capital and new investments through a €150 million loan to the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
- The Agriculture Acquis Cohesion Project has helped Croatia meet the EU accession requirement in the agriculture and rural development areas by building capacity of civil servants to manage EU pre-accession and accession funds for rural development programs.
- The Science and Technology Project's "Unity Through Knowledge Fund" backed 55 Research & Development (R&D) projects with Croatian companies and institutions, through collaboration with the diaspora in the fields of scientific and technology projects. Over 80 science and research institutes and more than 200 researchers from Croatia and abroad worked on joint projects. A Second Science and Technology Project is ongoing.
Since 2010, half a million people per year, including tourists, benefit from cleaner seawater and improved living conditions through construction of wastewater treatment plants along the Adriatic coast as a result of the first phase of the Coastal Cities Pollution Control Program. A second phase is ongoing.

Part-time Assistant Professor
My education and professional career began as a draftsman and facilities planner for engineers and architects; and I gradually segued from precision and perspective, to syncopation and composition performing music (cafes, events, recording), and working as a visual artist in the retail and photo industry. Curiosity and imagination were the impetus to explore the arts, and my altruistic nature was the guide to academia. As an educator my courses ranged from watercolor/drawing, photostyling, art & design business to visual thinking for business, and my inspirations ranged from the calligraphic spirit of landscapes and taijiquan, syncopated visual and musical rhythms to the sensibility of Shakespeare sonnets.
I am co-founder of LightPerspectives.com, a NY boutique agency in the photo/design industry, and I educate entrepreneurs on visual thinking, concept development and the wellness of their business. My intention is to provide valuable resources and guidance as each individual organizes their thoughts process, aligns visuals with vision and discovers imaginative solutions to unanswered inquiries. As an educator and creative, I inspire individuals to assert their strengths, nurture their differences and reflect the best; honesty, respect and benevolence.

Add all of us up, all 7 billion human beings on earth, and clumped together we weigh roughly 750 billion pounds. That, says Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson, is more than 100 times the biomass of any large animal that's ever walked the Earth. And we're still multiplying. Most demographers say we will hit 9 billion before we peak, and what happens then?

Anderlecht, Club Brugge and Zulte-Waregem remain locked together on ten points at the top of the Jupiler League after victories today.
Champions Anderlecht overcame ten-man Mons 2-1 at home. The led just before the break though Milan Jovanovic but Mons levelled in the 56th minute through Mustapha Jarju.
Just two minutes later, however, Jeremy Sapina was shown a second yellow card, and Anderlecht substitute Oleksandr Yakovenko 62 got the winner 20 minutes from time.
Late goals gave Club Brugge a 3-1 win over Beerschot. After Carlos Bacca's 19th minute opener for the hosts, Stijn Wuytens levelled for Beerschot early in the second half. But Jonathan Blondel restored Club Brugge's lead in the 75th minute and Thomas Meunier made sure in the final minute.
Second-half goals from substitutes Jens Naessens and Ivan Lendric gave Zulte-Waregem a 2-0 win over Kortrijk.
Lokeren sit three points back in fourth place after beating Mechelen 2-1. Milos Maric and Hamdi Harbaoui scored in the 61st and 65th minutes to put them in control, and David Destorme's late strike was purely consolation for the visitors.
Gent got two goals in the last four minutes to win 2-0 away to Waasland-Beveren. Hannes Vanderbruggen broke the deadlock in the 87th minute and Christian Bruls followed it up moments later.
Karel Geraerts got the winner as Leuven twice came from behind to beat Cercle Brugge 3-2 at home. Oleg Iachtchouk put the visitors in front from the penalty spot in the 26th minute and although Evariste Ngolok cancelled that out they led again through Wilson Rudy on the hour mark. Ebrahim Savaneh's penalty levelled it up before Geraerts' 81st-minute winner.
There were late goals for both sides as Lierse and Genk shared the points in a 1-1 draw. Steven Monrose gave Genk an 81st-minute lead, but Jason Adesanya levelled it five minutes later.

One powerful king. Two tragic queens.In the court of Henry VIII, it was dangerous for a woman to catch the king's eye. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were cousins. Both were beautiful women, though very different in temperament. They each learned that Henry's passion was all-consuming–and fickle.Sophisticated Anne Boleyn, raised in the decadent court of France, was in love with another man when King Henry claimed her as his own. Being his mistress gave her a position of power; being his queen put her life in jeopardy. Her younger cousin, Catherine Howard, was only fifteen when she was swept into the circle of King Henry. Her innocence attracted him, but a past mistake was destined to haunt her. Painted in the rich colors of Tudor England, Murder Most Royal is a page-turning journey into the lives of two of the wives of the tempestuous Henry VIII. Look for the Reading Group Guide at the back of this book.Also available as an ebook.

Michael Le Page argues that well-meaning environmentalists overlook the value of seed-sterilising "Terminator" technology in containing genetically modified organisms (26 February, p 23). What he in turn overlooks is the possibility that the rates of mutation and recombination may be high enough to compromise Terminator as a containment strategy if it was used on the scale of commercial agriculture.
Terminator is effective enough, however, to prevent farmers growing crops from saved seed, and potentially to jeopardise the seed-saving efforts of neighbouring farmers. Poor farmers who use seeds developed to meet their particular needs should not be forced to use seed made sterile by Terminator, which would deprive them of the ability to collect and share seed and to breed for local conditions.
Instead of depending on the private sector and its intellectual property for crop improvement, a better alternative is to provide appropriate funding for public research that works with ...

Furlong weighs in for story on early gubernatorial ad
Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences Scott Furlong offered his take Monday (Feb. 17) on an early gubernatorial race ad from the Republican Governors Association. The advertisement criticizes Burke's record as Commerce Secretary in the Doyle administration, and also as CEO of Trek Bicycles. It's as early an election-cycle ad as Furlong can remember for a governor's race, he told reporter Kelly Schlicht. "Typically you'd want to wait until after the primaries are done to go after one person," Furlong said, "but at this point it looks like it's just going to be Mary Burke for the Democrats, so (the Republicans) can go out and spend that money, and my guess is they have that money to spend." Full story.
