There is an intellectual struggle going on for the very soul of theore%cal physics, and for the hearts and minds of young sciensts entering our field." - Dr. Zlatko Tesanovic, physicist at Johns Hopkins University Zlatko's Best Places to Eat in BalImore -- Great Food Finds in Charm City PoliIcs Finance Basketball TheoreIcal Condensed Maer Physics: Strongly Correlated Electrons, High Temperature SuperconducIvity, Quantum Hall Effect(s), High MagneIc Fields February 2009 EPL, (2009) 37002 www.epljournal.org doi: 10.1209/0295-5075/85/37002 Multiband magnetism and superconductivity in Fe-based compounds V.
