With the full data sample of 772 × 10 6 BB pairs recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB electronpositron collider, the decayB → D Ã τ −ν τ is studied with the hadronic τ decays τ − → π − ν τ and τ − → ρ − ν τ . The τ polarization P τ ðD Ã Þ in two-body hadronic τ decays is measured, as well as the ratio of the branching fractions

Using data recorded with the Belle detector, we observe a new excited hyperon, an Ω^{*-} candidate decaying into Ξ^{0}K^{-} and Ξ^{-}K_{S}^{0} with a mass of 2012.4±0.7(stat)±0.6(syst)  MeV/c^{2} and a width of Γ=6.4_{-2.0}^{+2.5}(stat)±1.6(syst)  MeV. The Ω^{*-} is seen primarily in ϒ(1S),ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) decays.
