A great man is one who collects knowledge the way a bee collects honey and uses it to help people overcome the difficulties they endure - hunger, ignorance and disease!
- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.
- Franklin Roosevelt

While their territory has been devastated and their homes despoiled, the spirit of the Serbian people has not been broken.

U nekoliko najvećih američkih klinika, laboratorijski se radi dešifrovanje kompletnog genoma, tako da se može saznati od kojih bolesti bi osoba mogla u budućnosti da boluje, a jednu takvu laboratoriju vodi i prof.dr Mira Bjelotomić Irons, poreklom iz Srbije.

Ona je načelnica Odeljenja za genetiku u Bostonskoj dečjoj bolnici, gde se radi prenatalna dijagnostika, odnosno uz pomoć testova ženama još u trudnoći otkriva od kojih bolesti bi dete u budućnosti moglo da boluje.

Драма „Реалисти", Јелене Кајго, премијерно је изведена 11. маја на сцени америчког позоришта „Хир арт", у режији Ијана Моргана

– Утисци које носим са премијере „Реалиста" у Њујорку су сјајни. Редитељ Ијан Морган је изузетно суптилно и прецизно поставио комад са свим финесама и детаљима, а глумачка подела је одлична. Иако сам изузетно задовољна представом, изненадиле су ме бурне и лепе реакције публике, али и добре критике. Јер у уметности никада нисте сигури да ли сте потпуно објективни. Њујоршка публика се толико поистоветила са ликовима комада или их је препознала као део свог окружења да се сваки пут пренула када је са сцене зачула српско име, јер је имала утисак да се радња комада дешава на Менхетну. То је пример позитивне стране глобализације: да сви осећамо да смо део шире целине, али је потребно и да стално будемо свесни које су њене добре, а које лоше стране...

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Western Michigan University becomes a "medieval Mecca" one weekend every year, and that weekend just began.

The 48th International Congress on Medieval Studies kicked off Thursday on WMU's campus.

At this mostly academic event, it's more common to find experts debating medieval topics than people parading around in costume or jousting.

Subcommittee Hearing: Kosovo and Serbia: A Pathway to Peace

.

Невелика редакција од 13 новинара прославила је у четвртак по подне, са важним гостима, велики јубилеј: 70 година откако се 26. марта 1943, на радио апаратима, уз повремено крчање, први пут чуло „Овде Вашингтон, Глас Америке”.

Тако је започео програм намењен Југославији, на врхунцу Другог светског рата, када је радио био главни извор вести са широког светског фронта и глас наде да ће снаге добра победити силе мрака. А кад је победа извојевана, Глас Америке је добродошао иза „гвоздене завесе”.

My Brother's Keeper

by Fr. Radovan Bigovic

Rare are the books of Orthodox Christian authors that deal with the subject of politics in a comprehensive way. It is taken for granted that politics has to do with the secularized (legal) protection of human rights (a reproduction of the philosophy of the Enlightenment), within the political system of so-called "representative democracy", which is limited mostly to social utility or to the conventional rules of human relations. Most Christians look at politics and democracy as unrelated with their experience of the Church herself, which abides both in history and in the Kingdom, the eschaton. Today, the commercialization of politics—its submission to the laws of publicity and the brainwashing of the masses—has literally abolished the "representative" parliamentary system. So, why bother with politics when every citizen of so-called developed societies has a direct everyday experience of the rapid decline and alienation of the fundamental aspects of modernity?

In the Orthodox milieu, Christos Yannaras has highlighted the conception of the social and political event that is borne by the Orthodox ecclesiastical tradition, which entails a personalistic (assumes an infinite value of the human person as opposed to Western utilitarian individualism) and relational approach. Fr Radovan Bigovic follows this approach. In this book, the reader will find a faithful engagement with the liturgical and patristic traditions, with contemporary thinkers, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, all in conversation with political science and philosophy. As an excellent Orthodox theologian and a proponent of dialogue, rooted in the catholic (holistic) being of the Orthodox Church and of his Serbian people, Fr Radovan offers a methodology that encompasses the above-mentioned concerns and quests.
