Reviews for this host's other properties
very friendly and exerted host. apartement was very nice and comfortable. could be a little bit more clean, but it was ok. had a really great time in lisbon. think we'll come back!
The flat was the same as the photos, perfect location just a few minutes walk from Rossio square with great transport links and really close to Bairro Alto which is full of restaurants and bars. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore Lisbon. Richard was also great - very friendly and helpful for our trip. Thanks!
The apartment was just as described and Richard a wonderful host. The location is ideal - a quiet back street right in the centre of Bairro Alto with restaurants, bars, shops, parks and culture less than 5 minutes away.
The apartment is located in a quiet little street which runs off the Largo do Carmo. Who has managed the steep, historic steps of the house to rise high, finds a nice, bright apartment. The spacious kitchen is equipped with everything what is possible. The living room is cozy, suitable for a couple or a couple with a child. We liked it well. Mister Richard Bruce is multilingual and very accommodating. And not pushy! Recommended apartment.
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer ruhigen kleinen Strasse, die vom Largo do Carmo abgeht. Wer es geschafft hat, die steile, historische Innentreppe des Hauses hoch zu steigen, findet eine nette, helle Wohnung vor. Die geräumige Küche ist mit allem eingerichtet, was denkbar ist. Der Wohnraum ist gemütlich, geeignet für ein Paar oder ein Paar mit Kind. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Mister Richard Bruce ist vielsprachig und sehr entgegenkommend. Und nicht aufdringlich! Empfehlenswerte Wohnung.
Es war eine schnuckelige kleine und saubere Wohnung, sehr zentral gelegen. Ich komme gerne wieder.
We stayed at this apto from 18th to 21st of March. I wish we could stay more. The flat is simply superb, very spacious, clean and excelente located. Our dog loved it because the floor was cold só she did'nt feel all the heat. There is no parking space on the building but we could found one nearby when the concierge phoned Edna. I would recommend this flat for everyone who hás a dog and I would stay there again on my next trip.
We really enjoyed our stay in Richards apartment. It is relly close to the city center and the main attractions.
The flat was very clean and nice. We can only recommend it.
thanks richard, for your help.
your flat was perfect and very confortable.
we spent lovely days.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Conveniently located between Copacabana and Ipanema, but very noisy (bus pass), nice decor ... but APARTMENT utensils (cutlery pots stove ....) are all changing, refrigerator require to be defrosted time to time!!
APPARTEMENT bien situé entre Copacabana et Ipanema, mais sur rue très bruyante (passage de bus), déco sympa ...mais les ustensiles de cuisine (couverts casseroles poêle....) sont tous à changer, le réfrigérateur demanderait à être dégivrer de temps en temps !!!!

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Fake punt for a first down. Before that another misthrow. Palmer could easily have 4 interceptions already.
Just wanted to drop in and say I'm officially worried about Carson Palmer.
Aside from some decent plays here and there, he's made some terrible, laughable throws. It's really sad, because I remember what he was and I know what he CAN do. Will he do it again? I'm starting to wonder.
Really good job by Huber today. 2 punts within the 5 yard line.
Bratkowski not even trying to be deceptive anymore. Everyone on the planet knows what play is coming most of the time.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
The old Coslet special on 2nd and 11 in the red zone. Nice job Brat.
Carson looks really really bad.
There have been a lot of passes this year that should have been interceptions. I was worried about him before the season, I've drifted to losing faith in him phase. I hope he turns it around, but I just don't know. He's inaccurate a lot when he makes good decisions, and is making bad decisions more often than not. Luckily our defense is good enough to bail him out when he's horrible.
I'm done with Palmer. Absolutely done with him.
What a comedy act. Palmer is a freaking joke.
That is ridiculous. You can't let the clock run out there.
They'd be losing 50-0 if they were playing an NFL team with an NFL QB.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Respect is in serving honorably not being guard, reserve, or active. People will either appreciate what you do or shit on it, no two ways around it. Think long and hard about it cause it is a big decision. I receive excellent training and they are always trying to get me to different schooling. Plus if I wanted to go back to school to get a degree it would be 100% paid for at a state school for the PA guard. I just have no desire or real reason to do this lol. I enjoy my civilian job and I get to blow shit up on the weekends. What more could ya ask for?
I can tell you that I love being a 68W in the National Guard. We all get our NREMT-B in AIT so you will always have training and a certification to fall back on if you need a job.
Good luck with what ever you decide to do.
Do what you want to do. It is very hard to go from guard to active now a days. The Army is getting rid of soldiers left and right and feeding them into the guard and reserves. You will get more training active but better would be a case by case issue. Having been both reserves and active with multiple deployments I can say that we all get the same training, it depends on the instructors more than the component.
Good luck!
Army recruiters: need some advice regarding DEP
hi, hoping i can get some non-biased advice in here regarding my situation. i went to see air national guard recruiter initially, due to having a GED and was under the impression they were the only service that did not require the 15 college credits with a GED. but i called an Army recruiter to talk about reserves, just in case. long story short, i went in, and ended up signing an active duty contract for 68W. i have already been to MEPS, passed the physical (minus being colorblind, apparently), and scored a 79 on my ASVAB. i had always wanted to go active duty, but family and home situations prohibited it. and it seems they may again, due to my mothers health deteriorating further. i understand thats i can apply to have her as a dependant, EFMP, etc, but those all take a good bit of time, which i am not sure that i have the luxury of. so i am considering becoming a RA DEP loss, and re-signing with the reserves or NG. my main issue is the fact that i have a GED, and do not have the 15 credits. i have spoken to a NG recruiter, and was told that would not be an issue. i would rather go back through my recruiter and the reserves, but not sure if that will be an option.
i do not take this decision lightly, and have been torn about it. i know that on the active side, i will in the long run gain more respect, get better training, and the OJT will be much better. but im just not sure if its the best time. my initial plan was to go reserves, then go active later if it was still what i wanted to do (also having a few years of college under my belt and pursuing a warrant), but was talked into doing active first, by the recruiter and myself partially. so any and all advice is appreciated, thank you!

The Holidays Are Coming – Is Your Vehicle Ready?
November 26th, 2015
Where did this year go? Before you know it, it's going to be time for the holidays, and that can mean travel in some pretty trying conditions (and we don't just mean restless kids in the back seat). Is your vehicle ready for some interstate miles?
• Tires: It's a good idea to have your tires rotated every 5,000-7,000 miles to ensure even wear. With that in mind, it's easy to just schedule a tire rotation with every oil change, since the vehicle will be up in the air on a lube rack anyway. Have you checked your inflation lately? Your proper
inflation levels will be on a sticker on the driver's side ...[more]

Winter is Coming
October 15th, 2015
The days are getting shorter, there's a snap in the air, and before you know it, the winter months are going to be upon us. Is your vehicle ready?
• Wipers: Even the best windshield wipers are only good for about a year; normal wear, the sun's UV rays and the elements take their toll on them. Get a good look and check them for chunks, strips or chips missing, and replace if necessary for a streak-free field of vision in wet weather. Hint: a fresh application of
Rain-X on your windshield and window glass can help visibility greatly.
• Brakes: Are you hearing any squeaks, squeals or ...[more]

In the fall of 2014, the University of St. Thomas Cameron School of Business will expand the reach of its Master of Science in Finance program to students in The Woodlands.
The Master of Science in Finance in The Woodlands is designed to serve the needs of working professionals in the finance field. The program uses a practical approach with course curriculum built around industry needs. With 30 hours of coursework, this shorter program can be completed in five semesters.
Classes are held two nights per week, Tuesday and Thursday, at the Lone Star College University Center, 3232 College Park Drive.
Dr. Joe Ueng, the Cullen Chair of Finance, says the program will help students prepare for the Chartered Financial Analyst exam while providing them with skills and knowledge that will benefit their career in finance.
"The MSF program provides students with a rigorous framework for decision-making and analysis in finance," Ueng said. "Furthermore, it offers excellent preparation for the Level I exam of Chartered Financial Analyst and various positions in finance."
Theodore Rowe, an MSF student currently enrolled in CSB, is taking advantage of these opportunities. Rowe is building his knowledge base and skills to become an angel investor working with a business development company.
"I know that upon completing the program I will have the necessary skills to become a proficient entrepreneur," Rowe said. "Having completed almost three-quarters of the MSF program, I can say that if the desire is to become involved in the industry of financial management, investment banking or investment management, the MSF framework helps develop and enhance their understanding of finance."
Information sessions on the MSF in the Woodlands program will be held at LSC-University Center on June 12 and July 1 at 6 p.m. The deadline to apply is Aug. 8.
For more information, contact Robert Stephens, director of graduate admissions, at 713-942-3403, firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.stthom.edu/woodlands.

Acquiring A Liquor License
The first step to acquiring an alcoholic beverage license is to determine if there is one available in the area in which you intend to open your business. If your business is a restaurant wishing to sell beer, wine, and liquor, or a package store also desiring to sell beer, wine, and liquor, you will find that the available license quota is filled in 99% of areas that are inside city limits.
You can determine the number of the type of license you are interested in by referring to the license type page. Once you have determined the type of license, you can call the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission and speak to a processor who can tell you if the type of license you need is available in your area of the state.
If the quota is filled, you can investigate the option of buying the type of license you need from a current license holder who wants to sell their license. The Alcohol & Tobacco Commission can send you a listing of individuals and firms that will assist you in locating a license on the open market. The price you pay will vary depending on the type of license you need and the location of your business.
Once you have determined the type of license you need is available, the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission can send you the necessary forms.
*Please note that you must have a valid lease, be the contract purchaser of, or own the premises for the business for which you are seeking a license.
You will need to call the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission to request a "transfer of ownership" application. If the license is expiring in less than four (4) months, the current owner of the license must also file the "renewal application" for the license at the same time.
When you send in your "transfer of ownership" application and fee, you will have to include with it:
If you plan to move the license to a new location, you will also need to complete a "transfer of location" application and send it along with the other items listed above.
Please determine the type of application forms you need and then call the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission to request specific forms.
*Please note that no transfers will be allowed until all sales and property taxes are paid, and any pending violations are resolved. You should check with the current owner about these items.
The state legislature determines the quotas and the quotas are determined by the population in each city or town. Once the quota is full, the only way to increase it is due to a change in population, which must be verified by the United States Census Bureau.
Once you submit an application for a new permit, the entire process may take as long as 10-12 weeks. Under ordinary conditions, a renewal of a permit may take 8-10 weeks.
Briefly, the process consists of the following:
You will need to appear at the Local Board meeting, which is held regularly in each county. At that meeting, the permit will be brought up for consideration by a four-member panel composed of three locally appointed residents of the county, and one member of the Indiana State Excise Police, who should have already come out to visit the site at which you intend to operate the permit.
Residents of the area are allowed to speak for or against the granting of the permit, as are you, the applicant. The Local Board makes their decision based on several factors which are specifically spelled out in the Alcoholic Beverage Code of the State of Indiana.
Either side has the right to appeal the Local Board decision to the State Alcohol & Tobacco Commission within fifteen (15) days.
The complete process can be viewed in a diagram by clicking here.

There are some things that government does best, and some things better left to the private sector. The idea that creating a high-speed fiber-optic communications infrastructure is a basic government responsibility, like roads and water systems, was the motivation for such dreams as the multi-city UTOPIA project and the more focused iProvo system in, of course, Provo.
Neither has been anything near the success that its creators envisioned. Super-high capital costs on the one hand, and a dearth of customers eager to pay high prices for a service that most households didn't feel a need for on the other, doomed both projects to years of high debt and little revenue.
While UTOPIA's managers keep promising that salvation or, at least, profitability is just around the corner, Provo Mayor John Curtis was coming to terms with the fact that iProvo was not a logical fit for a local government with limited resources and many other responsibilities on its plate.
So on Wednesday, Curtis was more than pleased to announce that an entity with tons of money and a focus on the Internet is set to take iProvo off his hands. Search colossus Google will take over the system, rechristen it Google Fiber, and set out to complete the city's original dream of hitching every house and business in Provo to its fiber-optic star.
Because the large corporation is awash in cash, it can afford to not only build out the iProvo system but also offer high-speed Internet connections for free, with a one-time $30 activation fee, to every home in town. An even faster level of service, costing perhaps $70 a month, will be optional.
Curtis is justly proud of having concluded a deal that allows the city to get out from under much of the cost of iProvo (taxpayers are still on the hook for the $39 million debt that financed the original construction) while still providing the service to the entire city. He knows that such Internet connectivity is crucial for communities that want to be the least bit attractive to modern businesses and residents.
But he also knows that city governments specialize in technologies that do not become obsolete in a few years. Or, as Curtis put it so succinctly in a meeting with The Tribune Editorial Board, "I don't like fast."
Google, of course, thrives on fast. That and doing anything, at almost any cost, that encourages more people to spend more time online, being bombarded by the ads that Google has become filthy rich selling.
UTOPIA, with a much less contiguous customer base and higher debt loads, might not be a good fit for a similar buy-out. Yet.
But, as they might say at Google, things are looking up.

By Joe Brewin
Andre Santos had a big smile on his face as he left Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night after bagging his first goal for the Club.
The Brazilian scored Arsenal's second in the 2-1 Champions League win over Olympiacos to leave Arsène Wenger's side well-placed in Group F after two games.
Santos' goal capped an impressive home debut for the left back and he admitted afterwards that his first strike in the red and white was a memorable one.
"It is always good to score a goal but it feels a bit more special when it's the Champions League," said Santos.
"I'm glad I've scored my first goal but the most important thing is to score with the Arsenal shirt on and to keep helping my team-mates.
"Obviously it feels great to be part of this Club's history."
Santos is still adjusting to life in England following his move from Fenerbahce and he was quick to praise those who are making his transition as smooth as possible.
"I'm still adapting to the game and life here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who're helping me," he said.
"All the back room staff, the players and the manager are making me feel at home and I'm adapting slowly. But I'm sure that I'll be up to scratch soon."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Foundations are rarely held under normal electoral or market accountability standards, receive generous tax breaks, and have few transparency requirements. In this final Democracy Seminar of the semester, Rob Reich will explore both how foundations have gained legitimacy in democratic society and how, in spite of their plutocratic power, foundations have the opportunity to play an important, supportive role in democracy.

This summer the T-shirt is back. Yes, we know it never went away, but it's been reinvented in a few guises for 2012. There's the Crop Tee (Madonna circa eighties), the Fishtail Tee, the Oversized Tee, the Tunic Tee and the Drop Hem Tee. And to add yet more fashion confusion the T-shirt is not only available in cotton, there's chiffon, silk, sequinned and the original retro printed Tee. You name it; it's out there on the high street.
We can't help you with which T-shirt to choose out of that lot, but we can help you with fantastic T-shirt bras that will keep your boobs supported, whilst creating a smooth silhouette and a great shape.
The Rebecca Bra by Fantasie is a new T-shirt bra, it is an underwired balconette and contains clever foam technology that makes the moulded cups, soft, smooth, light, breathable and comfortable. One reviewer said: "I cannot recommend this bra highly enough, good solid band, lovely smoothing cups, the fabric is gorgeous and it has a little bit of detail which is nice for a "plain" bra. I love it." The Rebecca Bra also has some pretty geometric detailing, which is a nice touch on a T-shirt bra. It is available in white and nude and comes with matching briefs or a thong.
We know there are many Deco fans and not wanting to disappoint, we are pleased to give you the Deco Bra by Freya in denim (which is a great new colourway). It is a moulded underwired plunge and has the gorgeous added detail of stab-stitch satin bows. It has boosting boob qualities that really make a difference. If you wear a lower cut top, it will keep your boobs in place perfectly with no overspill, and if you are wearing a regular tee shirt it still creates an amazing rounded and smooth shape. Simple and perfectly formed is how we would describe the Deco. It is available in black and nude, are there are matching shorts and thong.
Take some time to check out all our T-shirt bra range here.

I would like to find out more about the TEFL courses and the opportunity it would provide.
Me and my husband are both interested in doing the TEFL weekend course in Birmingham.
We both have different backgrounds academically. I have a degree which is a BSc Honours in Business Management and have previous teaching experience in Primary and secondary care on a voluntary basis. I am a qualified teaching mentor with an NVQ level 3 in mentoring.
My husband has high school qualifications with a lot of work experience but would like to begin his teaching career too.
I have a number of questions which would help me to decide if this course/ career pathway is correct for us. Please could you answer them as best you can.
- What I would like to know is which course would be ideal? (Weekend course)
- What are the chances of both of us getting a job abroad in the same country?
- If one of us got a job would the other be able to travel also?
- We have had a look at the countries we would like to teach and I would have to admit the UAE would suit as the best.
- Do you we need teaching experience to teach in the UAE? Also is the TEFL weekend course sufficient to work in the UAE?
- Also do you have to have a degree to teach in the UAE?
- Also what are the pay benefits for the UAE? Someone with a degree and without?

Jason Wu Spring 2014
From the moment Karen Elson opened Jason Wu's spring show wearing a loose, shimmering gold-beaded halter dress with touches of matching metal on her eyelids, you could sense a shift. This wasn't the hard, sharp, power look Wu often leans into. "It's about easy," he said later backstage. Which is what a lot of designers say, but it's notable for Wu because he's not one for kicking back. Did you know that in addition to heading his own collection, creative directing for Hugo Boss, spearheading a new makeup collaboration with Lancôme and furniture line for Canvas, he also designs faucets? Flyers for his collaboration with bath-fixture company Brizo were on every seat. But then, maybe that's why taking it easy is at the front of Wu's mind.
Okay, so what does it mean for the clothes? Think languid, sparkling, and cut on the bias. A thin, ribbed silk sweater tucked into a sage green beaded skirt. Breezy, unclingy slip dresses in lace and tulle falling to mid calf and worn with ankle-wrap flat sandals.
But Wu didn't forsake construction entirely. Corsets and exposed boning peeked out from the back of halter dresses, and the brushed cotton shorts and jackets had that slight military touch Wu can't seem to resist.
There were only a handful of overtly evening looks—and even those were sporty tank dresses, albeit with incredibly worked trains. But in a way, now that anything goes for night, it all would work for after dark. It's as if Wu's loosening up his definitions as well as his seams. "I wanted to let the body speak for itself," Wu said backstage, "let the fabric do the magic." In doing so, he created something special.

Here's a pic with all the parts glued/screwed together, needs a bit of filler here 'n' there and then its paint time.
Isn't there a ridge greeblie between the two rings on the barrel - like in the picture above?

Thanks PW.

nice - can't wait for your kit to arrive to my greedy mitts!
i have some painting to do!
8) Wow,Quote:
Sidewinder said:
This the new kit you gonna sell???????
I do have molds for all the ROTJ parts now, (apart from the two little fins on the sides of the ringed tube) so I could do if there was any interest.
Well I'm interested.... Can you pm me kit/pricing details..?
I'm definitely interested in a complete ROTJ kit.
I'm interested aswell, Please PM me with the price and all that good stuff
See the cargohold for kit info.
Gettin' down an' dirty with the Fett:
Nice and dirty - looking great...
Which begs a question... Surely to make sure that your blaster/gun would work, you make sure its clean, and all moving parts, well, move (I'm sure any soldier would agree to this)... So why is his blaster so dirty...?
Even worse than that if you let some Jedi chop it in half with his sabre! ;)
See thats the reason he got sliced... his gun was jammed!!!:lolQuote:
Sidewinder said:
Sidewinder - got my kit in the mail tis morning.
now for the cleanup and build - thanks!:thumbsup
Here's the template I used for my grip stuff, modified from the one that's on here somewhere but more accurate in terms of scope block placement IMO.
Sidewinder said:
now - I take it that that placement is on top of the tube - so the rest of the cuts (the smaller pieces) of the grip are put on that way?
Here's a piccy to further illustrate wot I mean:
ok that makes it pretty clear - thanks!
Aaargh! Now you tell me! I used the same template un-modified, so my front scope block is cut in to the fin.
And what really sucks is...you're absolutely right. Just been going over some close-ups from the MOM exhibition and the ones from Boston. The scope block on the original prop IS between the fins. Can't believe I didn't see that before. Well spotted.
I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can rectify it. I have spare fin material, so hopefully I can prise off the old one (it's glued with epoxy!!) and replace it, then rotate the barrel.
Nice work Sidewinder, and great castings.
Sorreeee and thanks!
Here's my dims for the side trapezoids:

SECHEL AND GILBERTO'S WEDDINGNovember, 2011 in Rincon
"Our wedding in Rincon was a dream. Although the weather was a little temperamental (one minute black clouds, the next blue skies, then back again) it was still an excellent place to hold our outdoor beach wedding. Rincon of the Seas Grand Carribean Hotel was beautiful, the staff was excellent, the food was amazing. The only downside to the whole thing was that our DJ was terrible, and unprepared. In the grand scheme of things that could go wrong though, that is not the worst thing that could have happened and overall I still have great memories of our big day. I cannot thank Anita Quintana at Ocasiones Event Planning enough."

"According to my contract with my wedding coordinator this is who was providing the music for my wedding. if I could give 0 stars I would. He did not have my wedding song, or my father daughter dance song, nor did he actually play anything that I had asked him to play months in advance. the month before I even sent him a usb stick with 80 songs on there so that he would have what I wanted and have time to get familiar with the music, and he still did not come prepared!!! Who doesn't bother to tell you that they don't have the first dance song until it's time to dance to it?! My wedding planner vouched heavily for this guy's expertise and he totally dropped the ball and was not worth her praise in the least."

The conference – to be held on Friday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Oct. 29 – will give MTA members the chance to network with colleagues working at public higher ed campuses all over the state, build professional skills and learn more about the issues facing public higher education in Massachusetts and beyond, as well as plan for the future. The event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Natick. Online Registration Conference Flyer "This conference is a great opportunity for MTA members to learn and grow, engage one another and, most importantly, have a say in the future direction of our union," said Joe LeBlanc, president of the Massachusetts Community College Council and chairman of the MTA Higher Education Leadership Council. "This is an opportunity for us to come together and strategize ways to build our collective strength. "There are many ways to become involved – and now is the time to do so," LeBlanc added. The conference will open on Friday evening with dinner and an update from Jim Rice, a Quinsigamond Community College professor who heads the National Council for Higher Education, the higher ed caucus of the NEA. On Saturday, a high-ranking NEA officer will brief members about what is happening on the national political landscape at the opening plenary session. NEA President Dennis Van Roekel and MTA President Paul Toner will address the crowd and answer questions in the afternoon. Two rounds of 90-minute workshops covering three different areas – career success, legal issues and higher ed policy, including legislative activity and funding – will take place Saturday morning. Workshop titles include Workplace Bullying; Analyzing Your Institution's Financial Statements; Accountability/Student Outcome Measurements in Public Higher Education; Handling Common Workplace Issues, Including Classroom Management and Codes of Conduct; Legal Realities of Electronic Communications and the Internet; and the Public/Private Partnership Trend. There will also be sessions updating state and national legal issues and state legislative issues. The conference fee is $25 for MTA members and $100 for non-members.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East
Despite the world's elation at the Arab Spring, shockingly little has changed politically in the Middle East; even frontliners Egypt and Tunisia continue to suffer repression, fixed elections, and bombings, while Syria descends into civil war. But in the midst of it all, a quieter revolution has begun to emerge, one that might ultimately do more to change the face of the region: entrepreneurship. The event will be followed by a book signing at 7:30pm at the Harvard COOP, 1400 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA.

I was shocked when this didn't win the first time around. It was hands down the best entry for its original derby (I think it was woodcuts?).
You guys made so many great designs over the last few months. And nearly all of them are in this derby. If I don't get at least one I'm going to weep like a little girl.

Fluxxii is a mental health distro dedicated to providing the public with resources, stories, and other connections about mental health. Check it out at fluxxii.com.
(Information on distributing your zines can be found here.)
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation). Zines for the exhibition please send air mail: "Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine.
I would be very interested in a trade. I did go to your distro website and there are actually quite a few titles I'm interested in.
Right now I only have copies of issues two and four, maybe I have a stray copy of number three. Issue one has been out of print for a while now, but I can print it out and send you a copy if you're most interested in that one too? My diagnosis has actually changed a bit since then- it's really an ongoing story with me- so I'm probably going to have to write some more about it sometime soon. Anyway, thanks for the interest, and have a nice day. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi! Thanks for your interest in my zine. I'd visited your distro a few times but couldn't figure out a way to contact you - I think it's an awesome idea to have a distro dedicated to mental health issues and differing/diy/radical approaches to them. I do wholesale my zine -- if you're interested in discussing something like that, please e-mail me at johnnyseesstars at gmail dot com and we can arrange something!

Graduate Student Association
The Graduate Student Association (GSA) was formed in 1990 to give graduate students a forum of their peers for discussion of issues concerning graduate students. The formulation of the group also gives graduate students an opportunity to be recognized on campus.
All graduate students actively enrolled are automatically members of the GSA.
The purpose of this organization is:
1) To provide a forum for discussion of matters of interest to graduate students.
2) To provide a source for nominations of graduate students to college and university committees, including the Graduate Council.
3) To provide an official and representative organization with whom organizations may consult on issues affecting graduate students.
4) To provide opportunities for social activity in an effort to create a sense of community.
5) To provide the opportunity to initiate programs, workshops, and meetings relevant to the graduate experience.
6) To support the academic, professional, and personal needs of graduate students.
GSA Constitution (PDF document).
One project completed in 2012 by the GSA was intended to address item 6 above. It is an interview with Dr. David Kreiner and in it you will learn some valuable tips for getting research published. Check out the video.

I went up to a friend of mines duck club today and did a guided hunt with him.
I hunted FishDog today. I had a great time out with Ben, even though the birds did not cooperate.
However, I did learn a lot about Ben today. For starters he has huge aspirations to become the person that names rodeo bulls. He knows a heck of a lot about chickens, especially "BIG" chickens. He did make some great calls today, check out the call below that he made around 10 O'clock.
He did pass on one little tid bit that a fellow Fuger gave him. "Sticking your PICKLE in the pickle slicer isn't as bad as it sounds"
Even though I didn't bag a bird today, Ben still made it a very enjoyable time for ACE and I.

"Cutie and the Boxer"
U.S. Documentary
***1/2 (three-and-a-half stars)
Love, marriage and art intersect beautifully in Zachary Heinzerling's charming documentary. Ushio Shinohara, at age 80, is a Japanese-born artist in New York with a long reputation for his "action painting" abstracts he paints with paint-soaked sponges fastened to boxing gloves. His wife, Noriko, 22 years his younger, is his patient assistant and most constructive critic, but as the movie begins she's eager to restart the artistic career she set aside to be a wife and mother. Intimate archival footage catches Ushio's early career and alcoholism, while Heinzerling's camera captures the transforming relationship as Noriko starts coming into her own. The resulting portrait, of a marriage enduring through change, is funny and touching.
Sean P. Means
"Cutie and the Boxer" screens again: Saturday, noon, Egyptian Theatre, Park City.

Distinctively Dickinson
Dickinson students utilize the timeless rigors of liberal learning to confront the most critical challenges of our globalized age. Foreign language study, regional and area studies, and the interdisciplinary investigation of the causes and consequences of globalization: these three elements comprise the core of our approach to Global Study at the College. Far from being fragmented or oppositional, these elements--like most things in our era--are interconnected and accreting.
Critical examination of any pressing global challenge reveals the rationale for our approach. Take global public health for example. The outbreak of infectious disease spreads quickly from country to country and continent to continent in this time of accelerated contacts across cultures. Serious study of global public health concerns demands rigorous medical, scientific, and quantitative analysis. But public health does not exist in a cultural vacuum. Health practices in a country, region, or society are informed by cultural beliefs and understanding. And language stands as the sine qua non of cultural understanding, a shibboleth for group acceptance. A global study program that fails to focus in a coordinated way on all three of these essential elements--foreign language, area studies, and inter-disciplinarity--misses the complexity inherent in the key challenges of the 21st century.
Dickinson's "Problem Based Learning" collaboration with Akita International University in Japan is one of many initiatives that epitomizes the College's approach to Global Study and Engagement, and demonstrates that at Dickinson "Liberal Arts in Action" is more than motto. Utilizing a mixed-method research design, small student-faculty teams investigate community quality of life concerns in Yuri-Honjo, Akita Prefecture, Japan and in Carlisle, PA. Working together, Akita and Dickinson students, in close cooperation with community-based partners, conduct quantitative and qualitative field research in rural communities, with the comparative, global-local dimension featuring prominently. In keeping with Dickinson's interdisciplinary approach to Global Study, Dickinson faculty overseeing the project span a diverse set of academic disciplines: Dr. David Sarcone (International Business & Management), Dr. John Henson (Biology), Dr. Shawn Bender (East Asian Studies), Dr. Shalom Staub (Anthropology). The project connects directly to the Dickinson curriculum, reinforcing our Health Studies certificate program. And its ultimate work-product is publishable-quality community research assessments that will be useful to the community partners in their own efforts to obtain governmental and foundation funding to address identified community health problems, and, ultimately, improve in tangible ways the quality of life of community members in Carlisle and Akita.
Essential Knowledge and Skills for 21st-Century SuccessThe Global Study program at Dickinson is both knowledge- and skills-based. It compels students to acquire meaningful facility with foreign language while developing a deep historical knowledge of a country, region, or global theme (e.g., human migration, sustainable energy, public health, etc.). At the same time, the program inculcates analytical skills and habits of mind critical to 21st-Century success, such as:
- Ability to relate global factors to local developments (and vice versa);
- Familiarity with comparative modes of analyses;
- Facility with finding, interpreting, and verifying global data sources;
- Appreciation for how the acceleration and intensification of contacts across cultures generate patterns of mutual change, accommodation, and resistance, and the ability to recognize how current patterns gain perspective when viewed as part of a process over time;
- Understanding of the evolution of cross-cutting forces that are global in nature (e.g., technological transformation, the movement of peoples, the interactions of cultures, the growth of the human population and our ecological footprint) and the particular histories of these forces; and
- Aptitude for "connecting the dots" by drawing on knowledge and methods from multiple fields.
Defining Characteristics of Global Study at Dickinson
Pervasive: The Dickinson campus radiates a diversity of ideas, worldviews, and approaches. Students and scholars from vastly different backgrounds and experiences come together to create a global community on campus. Nearly ten percent of degree-seeking students are international, hailing from more than three dozen countries across six continents. Special-interest housing focused on foreign languages and engagement with global issues combines with a rich array of globally-focused clubs and student organizations to unite the Dickinson curriculum with the co-curriculum in an immersive global experience.
Integrated: At many colleges, global study is additive rather than integrative. Not so at Dickinson. Global Study and Engagement has been a cornerstone of the Dickinson experience since the College's founding. A focus on global issues pervades the curriculum, cutting across all academic divisions and departments. Over forty percent of all enrollments at the College are in international dimensions of the curriculum. All majors in humanities and social sciences require internationally-focused courses. Dickinson offers interdisciplinary majors in East Asian, Italian, Latin American, and Russian area studies, environmental studies, international studies, and international business & management. These interdisciplinary programs, by their very nature, connect directly to global concerns and to research and study opportunities at the College's network of global centers. On average, twenty-six percent of students graduate with majors in international fields.
Dickinson is a top institution for language study, offering thirteen world languages. Students frequently combine study of a foreign language with another academic discipline, often from another global dimension of the curriculum, to form a serious double-major that makes active use of language skills.
The Carlisle campus serves as the hub of the College's worldwide network of study and research centers. More than forty percent of faculty have personally led one of the College's renowned study abroad programs. All majors have pathways to study abroad and are linked closely with academically relevant study-abroad opportunities. Fifty-five percent of Dickinson students study abroad during their academic careers--and nearly twenty-five percent of Dickinson students who study abroad do so for an entire academic year or longer.
Continuous: Many colleges conceive of global study as a box to be checked en route to a degree. At Dickinson, Global Study and Engagement represents a course of life--an indispensable and inseverable aspect of a useful liberal arts education, an education aimed at preparing students for lives of meaning and accomplishment in our increasingly complex, interconnected, and ever-evolving world. Global Study at Dickinson begins the moment a student sets foot on campus: A first-year seminar focusing on challenges to the stability of the Mexican state or the increasing geopolitical importance of Brazil leads to a major in International Business or Latin American Studies, perhaps with a special focus in Security Studies; leavened with courses and lectures by visiting faculty and scholars and enhanced by direct study in Latin America at one of the College's Global Centers, work done abroad serves as a springboard for the senior thesis or capstone project, and it propels one toward a Fulbright proposal, graduate study, or a career path in the diplomatic core or international business. The global careers of Dickinson alumni testify to the profound influence Global Study has had on their life trajectories.
Active: Dickinson faculty are actively engaged in research on global issues and directly involved in leading our network of global centers. As a result, opportunities abound for student-faculty joint research on issues of critical global importance. Dr. Tom Arnold (Biology), for example, recently pioneered Dickinson's inaugural Global Scholars Program at our Brisbane Center, leading an interdisciplinary team of student-researchers in their investigation of the effects of ocean acidification. Students were not only engaged in the field research and data collection, but they continue to work under Professor Arnold's direction back on campus in Carlisle, preparing their findings for publication.

THIS WEEK: Friday, June 28th 2013 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )
Metro's Ghost Malls: Bannister Mall was closed in 2007 and demolished in 2009. Four years later, it remains a flattened weed filled lot. Now the second largest mall in our metro, Metro North mall is barely hanging on for life. But developers are hoping to avoid Bannister Mall's fate. They're now proposing to demolish the mall on Northwest Barry Road and rebuild a brand new $200 MILLION mall on the same site. Why would they want to do that when the current mall is not working? We look at the changing face of retail in Kansas City.
SPRINT DEAL FINALLY APPROVED: One of Kansas City's longest running sagas comes to an end this week as shareholders of hometown Sprint give the thumbs up to a merger deal with one of Japan's largest cell phone companies, Softbank. But what does the $21.6 billion deal mean for Kansas City? And why should you care?
JACKSON COUNTY APPRAISAL MESS ESCALATES: It's gotten so big the man in charge of appraisals has resigned. About a month ago on this program, we examined problems with thousands of property appraisal notices going out in Jackson County. That's when some homeowners were seeing appraisals 5 times as high as last year's. Now an independent consultant hired to fix the mess finds the problem is three times worse than previously announced. How did things go so terribly wrong?
UMKC BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Philanthropist Julia Irena Kauffman announces a $20 million challenge grant that she hopes will jump-start what would be a $90 million project to move the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance downtown.
NIXON PLANE: Missouri's new $5.6 million airplane used by Governor Jay Nixon was a "wasteful purchase" according to a new state audit. The King Air 250 is not a justified government purchase, according to the state auditor's office when the state already owned five passenger planes which were already underutilized. The audit report also claimed no formal written analysis was conducted before the plane was purchased last December.

The key facts in relation to these championships are:- Brian Boitano becomes world champion for the first time, having won the bronze medal the year before. He narrowly beat Brian Orser, who once again had to settle for 2nd place for the 3rd year in a row (having also finished 2nd at the 1984 Olympics). Defending champion, Alexander Fadeyev, had been well placed to retain his title going into the long program, but had a disastrous free skate Debi Thomas becomes world champion, beating defending champion, Katarina Witt, into 2nd place. Although Witt won the free skate, a 4th placed finish in the short program left her with too much ground to make up and cost her the title. Ekaterina Gordeeva & Sergei Grinkov win the world title for the first time on debut. It would be the first of 4 world titles and they would go on to become double Olympic champions. Ekaterina Gordeeva (known as 'Katia') was only 14 years old, and the pair had only just won the World Junior Championships the year before Natalia Bestemianova & Andrei Bukin retain the world title which they had won for the first time the year before. It was their 2nd of 4 consecutive world titles and they would go on to become 1988 Olympic champions.

text: MTA members honored at the State House MTA members from across the state were recognized by the governor and other state officials at a State House ceremony on June 18 recognizing some of the state's top educators. Awards were presented to the 2013 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year, as well as the finalists and semifinalists for Teacher of the Year; the 2012 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year; the 2011 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching winners and finalists; and the 2011 Massachusetts Milken Family Foundation National Educator. Kathleen M. Turner, a Sharon High School French teacher, was recognized as the 2013 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year; and Richard F. Houston, a U.S. History teacher at Harwich High School, was named the 2012 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year. "Our teachers educate and motivate students every day, preparing them for success as individual learners, responsible citizens, and leaders within their communities," Governor Patrick said in a press release issued by this office. "I congratulate Ms. Turner and Mr. Houston and thank them for a deep commitment to their profession and the well-being of all students and thank all of our teachers for their work every day to help our students grow." "As we continue to invest in our public school system to ensure all students receive a high quality education, every teacher plays a vital role in this experience," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "Ms. Turner and Mr. Houston have encouraged our students to excel, and we thank them and all teachers for their dedication to strengthen our school system and prepare the next generation of leaders in Massachusetts." "I commend Ms. Turner and Mr. Houston and our teachers across the state for their hard work to empower young learners to develop into the future leaders of our Commonwealth, our nation and our world," said Education Secretary Paul Reville. "There is excellent teaching taking place in classrooms across the Commonwealth, and today's ceremony is saying thank you to all the incredible educators who work in our public schools," said Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester. "The honorees we are recognizing today reflect the dedication and passion of all educators. Their commitment to ensuring that all students receive a well-rounded education and graduate ready to succeed in life is illustrative of the quality of Massachusetts educators." The Massachusetts Teacher of the Year Program is administered by the Patrick-Murray Administration in partnership with Hannaford Supermarkets. The program annually recognizes excellence in teaching across the Commonwealth by selecting a teacher who exemplifies the dedication, commitment and positive contributions of educators statewide. In addition to sponsoring the State House awards ceremony and luncheon, Hannaford presents a $3,000 grant to the Massachusetts Teacher of the Year, $2,000 grants to the finalists, and $1,000 grants to the semifinalists. The Massachusetts Teacher of the Year is automatically the state's candidate for National Teacher of the Year. While remaining in the classroom, Ms. Turner will serve as ambassador to the teaching profession over the next year by making speeches and conducting workshops throughout the state. She succeeds Adam Gray from Boston, who received the Teacher of the Year award last year.Turner grew up in Northbridge and attended Northbridge High School. After graduating from Harvard College in 1994, Turner was hired as a French teacher at Sharon High School. Since then, Turner has been instrumental in building the school's French program. Turner also regularly takes students to Paris during spring break, plans annual trips to Quebec City, and has established an exchange program with a school in Rouen, France. Turner's students have demonstrated impressive results on the College Board's AP French exam. In the past six years, over 90 percent of the 123 students from Sharon High who took the exam scored a 3 or higher. According to the College Board, a score of 3 or higher on an AP exam represents the score point that is predicative of college success and college graduation. The National History Teacher of the Year program is a White House initiative and is sponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History, the History Channel, and Preserve America. Mr. Houston will represent Massachusetts in the national program and is a candidate for the national award. He succeeds Jessica Kodys, a Milford educator who was the 2011 honoree. The History Teacher of the Year receives a $1,000 grant and the recipient's school is presented with an archive of primary historical materials donated in that teacher's name. Houston was inspired by a group of excellent teachers at St. John's High School in Shrewsbury when he was a student there. Upon graduation from college, he returned to St. John's and taught history there from 1978 to 1994. After moving his family to Cape Cod, Houston started teaching history at Harwich High School. Houston connects the classroom experience to affairs of the town, state, nation, and the world. Houston believes that teaching history should focus on the goal of producing effective citizens.All of Houston's students must attend the annual Town Meeting and wrote an analytical essay about a warrant article. Houston's students also have participated in the Federal Reserve Challenge, where they present arguments for monetary policy to a panel of judges. The 2013 Teacher of the Year finalists were: Scott Balicki, a Chemistry teacher at Boston Latin School in Boston; Maureen Knowlton, a Special Education teacher at Millis Middle School in Millis; Paula Plock, an Elementary Education teacher at Williamstown Elementary School in Williamstown; John Scopelleti, an English teacher at South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School in Hanover; and Alison M. Spade, an Elementary Education teacher at Boston Renaissance Charter Public School in Boston.The Teacher of the Year semifinalists were: Michelle A. Archambault, a 5th grade teacher at Peter Noyes Elementary School in Sudbury; Dawn Marie Costa, a 7th grade teacher at Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School in Seekonk; Kathryn Dye, a 10th grade English teacher at Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School in Haverhill; and Neil Mansfield, a 9th-12th grade Metal Fabrication/Welding teacher at Assabet Valley Vocational Technical High School in Marlborough. Also recognized on Thursday were 2011 Milken Family Foundation Award winner Derek Vandergrift, a high school History teacher at Waltham High School; and the winners and finalists of the 2011 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. The Presidental Award winners were Kathy Erickson, a high school Mathematics teacher at Monument Mountain Regional High School in Great Barrington and Naomi Volain, a high school Science teacher at Springfield Central High School in Springfield. Presidential Award finalists were Benadette Manning, a math teacher at Fenway High School in Boston; Carla McCormack, a middle school Mathematics teacher at Clarence Edwards Middle School in Boston; Kristen Cacciatore, a high school Science teacher at East Boston High School in Boston; and Mary Ann DeMaria, a 7th grade Science teacher at Bancroft School in Worcester. Known as the "Oscars of Teaching," the Milken awards were established to provide public recognition and individual rewards of $25,000 to elementary and secondary teachers, principals, and specialists who are furthering excellence in education. The Presidential Award program was enacted by Congress in 1983. Winners receive a trip to Washington, D.C. and a $10,000 award.

Hi All
End of life situations are always difficult! They are difficult for the one who is dying, difficult for the family and difficult for the carers.
The complexity of the situation has only increased since the time of the Buddha due to medical treatments. No one wants to see those they care for suffer but at the same time they do not want to see the die. What we need to do is to find some middle way that respects the wishes of those involved, the dictates of the laws of nature and the Dhamma.
The parameters within which I am discussing are those situations where a person has a medical condition which without treatment will cause the death of that person. It specifically excludes those who wish to die as a result of a psychological condition such as those that have depression.
There is no doubt in my mind that killing (or encouraging another to kill themselves) is in breach of the teaching and has karmic consequences for those involved. Where things start to get complicated is when we start looking at terms such as the natural life span of a person. We are in the situation where we can extend the life of a person beyond that which would naturally occur without interventions. Where this is the wish of the individual concerned there is no ethical question in my mind that we should do this. From a legal standpoint (Buddha did say that we should obey the laws of the country) not to do so would be negligent.
Does this mean that we should extend life at all costs regardless of the wishes of the individual? I think that the Dhamma provides us with some guidance. According to the cannon Buddha said that he would have considered extending his life if he had been asked before the last stages but was no longer willing to do so. My take on this is where an individual chooses not to act to extend their life it should not be considered to be taking their own life.
Most, and probably all of those I look after are only here because of medical intervention (that is setting aside intervention early in their lives). Most are in a palliative care situation (my employer disagrees because we market the service as quality living). The definition of palliative care that I chose to accept is where someone has a medical condition that can no longer be treated and will (unless other condition take effect first) cause the death of that person. At that point treatment of the individual changes its focus from trying to cure the disease to treating the individual so that they can experience the best possible quality of life given the situation.
To illustrate this (and not to breach patient confidentiality) my first wife had breast cancer for over 10 years, the first period we tried to cure the disease. In this there is an ethical issue for Buddhist. The treatments that she was taking are poisonous derivatives of the nerve and mustard gasses developed in WWI. Trading in poisons is a breach of Dhamma – but the intention here was to preserve life. I believe that most here would consider that the intention redefine the poisons to medications. I raise this issue simply because later I need to consider other prohibited substances and we should be logical and consistent in our contemplation.
Five years before her death it was confirmed that it was incurable. At that point the intention of the treatment changed to quality of life (she had a prognosis of 3 to 6 months) a number of new medications came along at the right time which were unable to cure the disease but allowed her to maintain a quality of life (incidentally also extending it). What gave her quality of life was seeing the kids grow up and her work. She got to see the kids past their 16 birthday and even to see her first grandchild.
6 months before her death she was taken to hospital with bilateral kidney failure – a result of using NSAI pain management medications for 10 years. She was told that she had to crease that medication and use morphine. As we all know that is considered to be an intoxicant and if we applied this to the situation then she would have been in breach of the Dhamma. My argument here is that we need to apply the same considerations to intoxicants as medications as we do with poisons that are used as medication. I guess that there would be some that would not be as compassionate in this analysis.
She managed to return to work until 6 weeks before she died – it was on the day that she was told that she would never work again that the rapid decline started. What she had always told me was that she would live with her body failing but that she wanted to go when it affected her brain. The doctors did not tell her that her death was close and with her bones dissolving the calcium levels in her brain gave her dementia symptoms. I decided to respect her wishes and kept her at home giving her the best possible care that I could.
Letting go is hard – a few hours before she would have died I sent her to hospital. The hospital asked me what my wishes were and rather than let her die (which were her stated wishes) I put her on a medication that I knew would stabilize the calcium, clear her head but would probably cause her kidneys to totally fail – changing the cause of death. The intention and effect was that she got to spend 2 more days with the kids and grandchild and to say goodbye. She became unconscious reliving the visit from the grandchild.
She had been transfer from the hospital to a hospice run by catholic nuns – one of whom undertook the pastoral care. This nun pulled me to one side and told me that it was wrong that my wife was on the calcium treatment – it was a place to die not to have treatment. I explained to her that the treatment was for palliative reasons – she did not accept this but could not force change. As soon as my wife lost consciousness I had her transferred back to the hospital – the nun was still complaining about the treatment as I left the building. My response was "sister, I congratulate you on finding Catholicism, I hope that you find Christianity before you die"
When she returned to the hospital I crease all treatments apart from pain management - she passed away 3 days later. Interestingly the nurse who was looking after her as she went was a nurse who had previously intended to leave oncology. He had decided that he was unable to continue to inject people with poisons for ethical and personal reasons. The hospital management had asked my wife to speak to him about his decision (she used to help with induction programs in the unit). She explained to him that what was a poison to him was life to her. He stayed in oncology and stayed 3 hours after he had finished the shift because he wanted to return the kindness she had extended to him in his need. He is still there 8 years later!!!
After a beak I returned to a carer role working in a nursing home – careering is the most worthwhile thing I have done in my life – defiantly the best thing I have done for my practice.
I have no question in my mind that all of my actions were ethical, I post this for others to consider the complex issues that surround dying and death. If you have any questions you want to ask feel free to do so.

No. 8 Kentucky Takes on No. 9 Duke in Sweet 16
May 15, 2013
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, Ill. – For the fourth-consecutive season, the University of Kentucky men's tennis team has advanced to the Sweet 16 on the NCAA Men's Tennis Championship, as the Wildcats will take on No. 9 Duke for a spot in the Elite Eight on Thursday night at approximately 8:00 p.m. ET at the Adkins Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, Ill.
Kentucky is under the leadership and direction of first-year Cedric Kauffmann who has guided the Wildcats to five wins over top-10 teams in the rankings, an Elite Eight appearance in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's National Indoor Championships, and has become the first head coach in Kentucky tennis history to lead his team to a Sweet 16 appearance in his opening season with the Wildcats.
Kentucky (22-10, 6-6 SEC) three of the last four matches it has played, with wins over No. 9 Mississippi State, Western Michigan and No. 41 Virginia Tech to match on to the Sweet 16. The Wildcats advanced to the quarterfinals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament, falling just one point shy of knocking off the Tournament and regular-season champions, Georgia, 4-3. In all three of those matches, Kentucky took the doubles point, as UK upped its record this season to an impressive 15-2 when it wins the doubles point.
The Wildcats are led in singles by No. 4-national seed and fifth-ranked Anthony Rossi, who has compiled a 23-5 record this season on the No. 1 singles court. The First Team All-SEC selection was one of two Wildcats honored with postseason awards, as junior Tom Jomby was also elected to the First Team All-SEC. Rossi has won five consecutive matches this season, with four of them coming against ranked opponents inside the ITA top 70.
Kentucky has yet to play Duke this season in dual-match play, but there were numerous meeting between the two sides during the fall competition. The ninth-ranked Blue Devils are under the direction of fifth-year head coach Ramsey Smith, who guided the Blue Devils to a 23-5 overall season mark, including a 9-1 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference, with the team's only loss coming at the hands of the No. 2 Virginia Cavilers in conference play.
UK's match with No. 9 Duke on Thursday is for a spot in the Elite Eight, which would be the Wildcats' second appearance in the round of eight in the last three seasons.
Should the Wildcats advance, they will play the winner of the 1/16 match-up, which sees the top-ranked Bruins of the University of California at Los Angeles against the No. 16 Vanderbilt Commodores.
