In support of the Southampton Hospital's 53rd Annual Summer Gala,
Bill Finneran
hosted the President's Committee Reception last Friday evening, July 22, 2011, at his beautiful Southampton Estate. Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres from GloriousFood, and music from a live mariachi band.
The upcoming Summer Gala, "A Tropical Paradise," will be chaired for the second year by
Jean Shafiroff,
who expressed her gratitude to this year's committee members and Hospital staff for their hard work and support. Hospital President and CEO
Robert S. Chaloner
greeted guests, joking that "when staying in the Hamptons, the last place you would want to be is in a hospital!" He went on to say, "However, if you are ill, you will not find a better local hospital to take care of you. In the last several years, Southampton Hospital has completely renovated and expanded critical departments, including our
Jenny and John Paulson
Emergency Department, the
Ellen Hermanson
Breast Center, the
Kathleen D. Allen
Maternity Center and the
Ed & Phyllis Davis
Wellness Institute among other areas. Supporters like you have enabled quality healthcare in the Hamptons."
Christopher Obetz, Jean Remmel FitzSimmons, Jean Shafiroff, and Sandra McConnell
The time-honored tradition supports the Hospital's Jenny and John Paulson Emergency Department, which was named after the Paulsons in recognition of their generous support. The hospital serves more than 25,000 residents and visitors annually on Long Island's South Fork. Tiffany & Co. is the Honorary Jewelry Chair, Barclay's Wealth is the Honorary Corporate Chair, Cushman and Wakefield is the Honorary Commercial Real Estate Chair and Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate is the Honorary Residential Real Estate Chair. The highly-anticipated Southampton Hospital's 53rd Annual Summer Party will take place on Saturday, August 6, 2011 under the tents at the corner of Wickapogue and Old Town Roads in Southampton, New York.

PASADENA, Calif. -- NBC football analyst Cris Collinsworth can do something that some Buffalo Bills probably can't do yet -- name most players on the team's offensive line.
In a conference call to promote his first Sunday Night Game with Al Michaels since he was officially named John Madden's replacement -- Collinsworth illustrated a wide knowledge of the Bills before their Hall of Fame game with Tennessee Sunday night from Canton, Ohio.
He spoke highly of the Bills receiving tandem of Terrell Owens and Lee Evans.
"This receiving tandem now -- if it is not the best -- it is pretty close to it in the NFL," said Collinsworth, who is a close friend of Bills offensive co-ordinator Turk Schonert.
But Collinsworth knows that Owens and Evans probably won't play much Sunday, so he plans to concentrate on the offensive line.
"Because the real story for Buffalo is what happens with the offensive line," he said. "I can't imagine that Eric Wood, Andy Levitre, Langston Walker and (Geoff) Hangartner and some of those guys aren't going to get an extended period of time playing. And I can probably tell you more about the Buffalo Bills success or lack thereof by the way they're playing than I can anything else so we'll follow that story for sure."
For more on Collinsworth and NBC's plans for the preseason game, read Sports on the Air in Saturday's Buffalo News.

DOWAGIAC — Marcia Louise Ake, 80, of Dowagiac, passed away Monday, June, 17, 2013, at Memorial Hospital, South Bend, Ind.
Marcia was born Feb. 18, 1933, in Grand Traverse County, to Carl K. and Ruth M. (Harrigan) Weaver. On Feb. 24, 1951, she married her late husband, Hazen "Jim" Ake at St. Francis Catholic Church in Grand Traverse County.
Marcia worked for 38 years at Kroger Company as a meat wrapper.
Marcia is survived by her four children, Debra Louise (Larry) Cripe, of Edwardsburg, Ruth Marie (Calvin) Knudson, of Granger, Ind., Hazen Charles (Cynthia) Ake, of Niles, and Wincton Carl (Cheryl) Ake, of Niles; four sisters, Carol Jean Ackels, of Ithaca, Carolyn (Ralph) Beneke, of Niles, Elaine Putney, of Benzonia, and Catherine (Larry) Leckrone, of Copemish; two brothers, Maurice (Bonnie) Weaver, of Kingsley, and DuWayne (Jean) Weaver, of Traverse City; 14 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her three parents, Carl K. and Ruth M. (Harrigan) Weaver, and Marguerite Weaver; her husband, Hazen "Jim" Ake; her brothers, John and Samuel Weaver; a sister, Patricia "Pat" Powelson; a son-in-law, Rodney D. Davidson; and a daughter-in-law, Taren Lyn Ake.
Marcia touched the lives of all who knew her by her deep faith which she displayed in every aspect of her life. She was devoted to God, her family and her friends. She was a loving, generous, caring and a compassionate person with a gentle spirit. A woman of faith, she enjoyed her daily devotions and prayer time.
She was a longtime member of the Holy Maternity Choir, Monday Angels and HALO (Hope and Love Outreach).
She and her husband, Jim shared a love of nature, spending time taking walks on their land, gardening, caring for animals and watching wildlife. She found great joy in her garden, and after working in it she would sit and soak in its serenity and gaze at its beauty. She also was a great cook, accomplished baker and enjoyed sharing the fruits of her labor by baking for St. Paul's Community and preparing and serving luncheons for her church. She collected cookbooks and had a multitude of recipes. She had a passion for decorating beautiful cakes that were unique for each special celebration. She loved arts and crafts, and her home and garden were filled with lovely creations. Marcia believed in celebrating life and its special moments. She worked tirelessly to make events special for family members and created beautiful memories for everyone. She had a way of making each person feel special. She is so loved.

Less of a "device leak" and more of a "device discovery coming from a leaked OS", this is seriously one of the first videos I ever uploaded to youtube and it was my first video to get over 100,000 views. When the Curve went to market, it could only take photos. There was no video recording. When OS 4.3 leaked out, all of a sudden the video camera started working. This was an uber-popular phone at the time and people loved this new video recording functionality. It was an awesome scoop.

Passionate is almost a too subtle term for it.
But the good thing is that's it's not a douchy kind of aura, it's more of a fight for your team no matter what aura.

coffee-turtle Mar 26, 2014 at 4:04 pm
did it have the communicator sound effect from TOS when you flipped it open?
my jaw would have dropped if it did.
I never owned a Pearl but I bought my brother one, my god I coveted that phone :) I liked that style (candy bar) best to use as a phone - it just felt right. Hmm I wonder if there any still around for sale (besides used on ebay)

Not on CrackBerry. If I remember correctly, MSNBC posted an article just a couple days before that BlackBerry made the PlayBook announcement that they were going to release a tablet.
mandony Mar 26, 2014 at 5:50 pm
LOL. The PB was and is one of BB's best kept secrets as evidenced by it's underwhelming sales. Regret, what could-have-been; when it finally came out there was little competition.

My favorite of all time was the leak of OS 5.0 it was leaked literally minutes after my 9000 arrived at home.
The good old days...
Techno-Emigre Mar 26, 2014 at 3:24 pm
Fun article, Kevin. Brings back a lot of that excitement. I wasn't there for it all, but lurked way too long before joining and remember a lot of it.
For me, one of the things that decides how exciting a leak is has to do with how happy I am with my BB at the moment. So, for example, I was practically hysterical waiting for BB10 to launch, and for the current 1-.2.1. I am loving my Z10 and the current OS so much, I feel a satisfaction that makes waiting for the next iteration easier. Always want the latest, tho.
And like others have said .... I would only know a fraction of what I know about my Berries if it wasn't for CB. In fact, I really think I would have left BB out of frustration long ago. I hope BB knows CB makes for happier customers. That includes the generous work of those sharing knowledge and safer leaks. The CrackBerry culture as a whole.
That said, I think of leaks on a continuum. As a business person I totally get what Mr. Chen is trying to do by preventing inappropriate leaks. The way I read it I think he is mostly talking about hardware, but could be wrong. Still, I think that some leaks heighten consumer excitement. While the average consumer doesn't follow news of that sort, people who love tech do. They, in turn, talk it up, write and blog about it, which puts it out there in an unofficial way that a business cannot possibly buy. Cheap marketing and fun for all.
Buzz88 Mar 26, 2014 at 3:18 pm
It's a bit of a bummer that we won't get leaks, it's one of the many reasons I love visiting crackberry.com. Hopefully Kevin can wring a few tidbits out of BlackBerry anyway to feed my addiction.
newfie1974 Mar 26, 2014 at 3:18 pm
I thought leaks were a good thing. Free testers.. no?
1magine Mar 26, 2014 at 3:24 pm
You had me at Storm. It solidified my desire to want the "next" BB, and my hate of the way RIM management went about its' business in those days. But in my mind Storm will always be synonymous with "Leak". The hardware, the weekly software loads. Oh G-d. I get shivers thinking about how many leaked OSes it took before the camera would take a picture without re-setting the OS.
joniebonie Mar 26, 2014 at 3:25 pm
Leaks is "hope" #longlivebb10
Posted via CB10
I have lurked/read/followed Crackberry since it's launch in 2007. I've never needed it more than now. With the literal abandonment of Blackberry from US carriers, "Leaks" has a brand-new meaning for me. Thank you Crackberry for enabling me with the resources and information to maintain my Blackberry habit.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane Kevin. I worked at BB for all of those events except the Q10. I remember watching Crackberry closely in those days to see how much was getting outside the walls. And I also had the honour of finding the PIN for your 9900 and blacklisting it (sorry about that).

It's funny, the years I spent tapping away on my Nokia 3310 or was it a 3210 and then th N95. I had absolutely no idea of this other world of OS updates and leaks. I bought my phone and what came within was what was on it and nothing else, a few years ago now I got my BOLD 9780. And a whole new world opened up. I have to admit I was worried about the size of the buttons at first but it took no time at all to rip off text messages and then my learning curve (sorry no pun intended) took a sudden swoop into the heavens. Now my wife and son have gone through a curve and an old Bold 9000 that served my son faithfully. Now they rock a Q10 and a Z10 and my brilliant Z30. I can honestly say I've never owned a better phone. Living the BlackBerry experience and loving crackberry.com.

I know people are enthusiastic about BlackBerry devices.
I just think BlackBerry wants to control it's images.
It would be more powerful an image of its devices.
They are well within their rights as a company .
All leaks do are make BlackBerry rush things out before they are ready. E.g PlayBook
Imagine your face being used without your permission? Would you like it?
I didn't think so.
BlackBerry needs to get a firm grip of its images and software. NDA all around for everyone even the cleaners.
BlackBerry will have to turn into Fort Knox to survive .
Mr Chen doesn't want to give the critics any ammunition. Sorry Crackberry...
Rightly so.
BlackBerry...Get it done!!!

I don't get the hype about the storm. I remember seeing it and wasn't too impressed. Then I first held it and touched the screen. Oh gawd it was awful. I'm not even an iPhone fan, I've only had BlackBerry (through work, but symban phones for personal), but I knew that the storm was a bad phone.

Lots more of these multi-page posts lately ... I guess that helps with the page view stats and ad impressions? Sorry to be so negative, but I hate when sites start going that route. At least have a "View in one page" option.
Agree completely. And how about not having a next button that leads to a new article a few inches up from the next page button.

Just the fact that something has not been actually revealed yet. Like a leaked device not being officially revealed

My first BlackBerry was the 8300. This article brings back some memories, wow!
Ah, and my old Pearl. If only it didn't die so quickly.
Boy now I want to see if I remember all of my BBs... 8300, Pearl, 8900, Storm 2, Curve 3G, PlayBook, Z10, Z30... some good phones, some not so good phones, some great phones.

Saw that photo of the Q10. The pic made it appear massive though it's only slightly larger than the 9900 . In reality It's better than I could have hoped for.

A trip down memory lane. Kevin remember the leaks that never were- or the ones that came out after the fact. The classic MAGNUM leak a long time after the actual 9900 came out.

Not gonna lie, this memory lane trip produced a tear. Especially the Curve 8900. It was by far my best BlackBerry Device for the longest time, and for it to be a Curve was just mind blowing...it definitely could have graced the Bold name. Oh how the past was good.

"No Q10?" -> "Buy from Chen... "

#9 was my favorite since that's around the time I was reading a lot about BlackBerry, and ready to switch platforms. Never looked back since. I actually liked the angular concept better, more of a wow factor.
TORONTO - BlackBerry (TSX:BB) chief executive John Chen says he's fighting against future product leaks by taking "legal action" that he hopes will set an example.
The head of the Waterloo, Ont.,-based smartphone company alleges that a person he did not name stole confidential details about a future BlackBerry product and leaked them to the public.
He said the individual posed as an employee of a wireless carrier to gain access to BlackBerry's secured networks. From there, the information was taken.
The allegations, which have not been proven, were outlined briefly in a post by Chen on the company's website.
A BlackBerry spokeswoman did not provide any additional details on what the "legal action" would be, and later stopped short of calling it a lawsuit against the unnamed individual.
Chen did not say if the product was a new device or software.
Earlier this week, screenshots from an update to the BlackBerry operating system revealed some new features that are in the works, while numerous other BlackBerry devices have appeared on blogs in recent months.
Product leaks are common in the technology industry, particularly when it comes to smartphones, because of rabid consumer interest in the latest features.
But competitors often reap the rewards of leaked images and product specifics because it gives them a head start on creating their answer to the development.
"Leaks are, at their best, distracting, and at their worst downright misleading to our stakeholders," Chen wrote.
"The business implications of a leak are seldom advantageous."
Note to readers: This is a corrected story: A previous version saw a 'lawsuit' had been filed

my first BB was the 9000 then 9700 then 9780 then i skipped 9790, went straight to 9900 which was my longest serving legacy OS phone, i held it on for almost 2 years before jumping to the BB10, with the Z10 being my 1st phone and now my daily driver the Z30. i skipped the Q10 even though back to my BB history i've always been a loyal qwerty user BUT my dad will be the Q10 user in my family, LOL.
waiting for the Q20 or the Z50 to arrive, BB10 FTW!!!

""If you like dogs". . ."
This was a great book. Well narrated, good story and so much heart impossible not to love!
All about bravery, honor and love.
"Beautiful Story!"
There is nothing quite so engaging as a love story between dog and man.
Every character in the book was real to me so difficult to say which one I liked best.
Oh yes, it made me cry for sure, very emotional
If you are an animal lover a must read and if you are not, still a must read!
This is one of the most enjoyable thrillers I have listened to in a long time. The scope is breathtaking, the topic all encompassing.
Horror, tears, laughter and the sense of something real moved me throughout the story. It was difficult to grasp how the author did this. Otherwordly for sure.
Scott Brick was spectaculor in his narration, the characters he portrayed came alive under his masterful narration style.
Listen to this, you won't be disappointed. Warning: This should be listened too with both ears and mind without interruptions to feel the full flow and impact of the story.
"Very Entertaining"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and especially enjoyed the narration with both female and male parts. It made the book come alive.
The man character had shades of "Jack Reacher" to me. I don't know if anyone else felt that, but I am looking forward to more of him in upcoming books.
I was looking so forward to this book, I guess it was bound to be a disappointment.
The characters to me were so very shallow, nothing compared to the authors previous exciting books with the very unique qualities of Pendergast. I was hoping for a new compelling lead character, which may have been a bit better if the narration was with a different narrator. All in all very predictable I couldn't even get through the entire book it became so boring.
"Intelligent and Compelling"
The first book of this type I have ever listened to, but on hearing the sample, it captured my attention.
I found it to be fascinating. The knowledge about food, the food industry and most importantly about the way your brain works in regards to food stimulus is amazing. You can hardly listen to this book and not gain an 'awareness' concerning what and how much you eat. I like to call it "Food Mindfulness". Knowledge is power, so if you are a little short on personal power over food listen to this book and get it back!
The food industry wants to make money and really doesn't give a damn about you, just how much you eat of their food and how often you keep coming back for more. They have few restrictions on their advertising. It is our responsibility to gain the knowledge in a free society, and the author has gone to great lengths to assist us.
The narration was excellent for this type of book. Scientific studies pointing to the real truth is always a pleasure.
"Excellent finale of the Camel Club"
As with the other Camel Club books, this was wonderful. I listened to it in one sitting. Many surprises and story twists.
"A Very Enjoyable Listen"
I have enjoyed most of Baldacci's books,however the Camel Club series, while taking awhile to take to the theme, are my favorites.
"Thoroughly Entertaining"
This is the first book I have listened to by David Rosenfeldt, and already downloading my next one.
Great fun, excellent plot and the first audible book I have laughed out loud with.
"The best of Bova"
I loved this audio. Having heard all of the Voyager series I quickly became a Ben Bova fan. This audio is even better than Voyagers in my opinion. It was truly riveting in storyline, charaterizationa and suspense that glued me to my ipod until the end. I hope Grant Archer will be repeated in a sequel to this.

The Vons grocery store in La Mesa will be a local Ground Zero for area residents answering President Barack Obama's call to action Saturday in the National Day of Service.
According to spokeswoman Katie Meyer, volunteers by the dozens will help collect food for Mama's Kitchen by gathering at the Vons in the La Mesa Springs shopping center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The store is at 8011 University Ave., near City Hall.
A second Day of Service event in La Mesa is collection of new and "gently worn" coat donations at the Burlington Coat Factory at 7938 El Cajon Blvd. The coats will be given to the homeless.
They Vons volunteers are among an expected hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country in volunteer service in the run-up to Monday's presidential inauguration.
"Continuing a tradition the First Family began four years ago, Inauguration weekend will begin with a National Day of Service that honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," said Meyer, a volunteer with the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
Volunteers have planned a day of service that will leverage the strength of local citizens to help tackle local problems and advance Dr. King's dream of opportunity for all, she said in a news release.
Mama's Kitchen, based in City Heights, provides food to AIDS and cancer patients throughout San Diego County. A large portion of its food comes from food drives such as this one. Volunteers will donate food and encourage others to do the same.

Wet and raw

Wednesday, November 28, 2012.
Wet and raw with some white stuff mixed in with the rain, but nothing sticking; yesterday in New York.
Down at the Waldorf, bright and early the Breast Cancer Research Foundation held its annual Symposium and Luncheon.
BCRF Scientific Director
Larry Norton, MD
(Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) opened the Symposium titled
Magical Wands to Make Cancer Disappear: Fantasy or the Future?
Clifford Hudis, MD,
Chairman of BCRF Scientific Advisory Board (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), moderated, joined by four BCRF-funded investigators:
Gabriel N. Hortabagyi, MD,
FACP from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center;
Kathy D. Miller, MD
of Indiana University School of Medicine;
José Baselga, MD, PhD
from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; and
Jedd Wolchok, MD, PhD
also Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
The first date for this luncheon coincided with hurricane Sandy, so it was postponed until yesterday. There was concern that the postponement would hurt; this has been a very successful annual affair for several years, with several hundred attending. Evelyn was an indefatigable supporter and made optimal use of the Lauder family's influence and connections as well as their charity for rallying the troops. The result was to gather massive funds for research of more than $300 million.
She was also very proud of the fact that the expense of the BCRF staff and activities was always never more than ten or twelve cents of every dollar contributed, all of which was earmarked for scores of research grants.
Yesterday's was a great success. 800 guests attended and more $2.1 million was raised.

Jill Rose Award
for outstanding research excellence was presented to Dr. Hortabagyi, recognized for his path-breaking contributions advancing all aspects of breast cancer science and care, as well as his leadership in public and professional education, and his mentorship to medical professionals worldwide.
Ann Taylor and LOFT CEO, Kay Krill with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation acting Chairman/Estee Lauder Chairman Emeritus, Leonard Lauder at the BCRF Symposium and Luncheon yesterday at the Waldorf Astoria New York.
During the Luncheon, PLAY for P.I.N.K., a volunteer organization dedicated to raising money for BCRF on a grassroots level, announced that it will support 15 research projects led by BCRF grantees in 2012-2013 with a record-breaking $4 million donation.
Guests also participated in a Text-to-Pledge competition led by long-time BCRF supporter,
Roz Goldstein.
She made a $50,000 match donation for the initiative. Nearly $200,000 was raised through Text-to-Pledge including a $50,000 donation made by audience member,
Meyer Grodetsky
The BCRF Luncheon and Symposium was co-chaired by
Roberta Amon, Anne Bass, Tory Burch, Susan Burke, Marjorie Reed Gordon, Betsy Green, Joanne de Guardiola, Ronnie Heyman, Gail Hilson, Laura Lauder, Cynthia Lufkin, Gigi Mortimer, Wendi Rose,
Arlene Taub.
Evelyn was still very much on everyone's mind. She spent more than a quarter of her life personally battling cancer yet during that same time, without any reference ever to her own predicament. The result was this great research funding foundation that has made a difference in the lives of millions, and will continue to. There remains much sadness about her but no regrets. Pluck, a natural
joie de vivre
and a devoted husband saw her through with Good Cheer to the end of her days.

The upcoming sale at Sotheby's of Evelyn's jewelry and Estee Lauder's jewelry is expected to bring another $8 million. These funds will support a large multi-institutional, international research project to be carried out over two to three years that will have implications for the management of not only for breast cancer but other types of the disease as well.

Last night Shirley Lord Rosenthal had a dinner
for 24 at her East Side duplex for
George Weidenfeld
Baron Weidenfeld
, the British publisher (Weidenfeld & Nicolson), and newspaper columnist. Lord Weidenfeld (George to his friends), was born in Vienna in 1919.
When he was 19, in 1938, Hitler made his Anschluss of Austria into Nazi Germany. Being Jewish, and aware of the dangers that lay ahead (his father had already been arrested) he left Austria five months later in late summer. I asked him last night if he had a hard time getting out. He replied that it was the "getting in" that was hard – finding a country who would take him in. Through a relative he was able to get a visa to enter England. Because he was proficient in five languages and the threat of war was heating up, he got a job with the BBC monitoring other radio reports from all over Europe. Three years later he was a political commentator for the BBC and writing a weekly newspaper column. He was also able to get his parents out of Austria.
George Weidenfeld, Shirley Lord Rosenthal, Dr. James Watson, and Elizabeth Watson after dinner last night. Lord Weidenfeld arranged for the publication of Watson's "The Annotated and Illustrated Double Helix."
How he moved so quickly was the result of chance and talent. Talking to him last night, it was easy to see how it happened. His language proficiency and his "foreign" background were the two apparent and important assets. The third was personality. He has a naturally congenial manner and is receptive to a new acquaintance. He obviously likes people and is a natural student, which over a now long lifetime, has brought the gift of friendship.
After the war he was selected by
Chaim Weizmann,
the first President of Israel to work as his political adviser and Chief of Cabinet. He was 29 years old, and working along with
Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan
. The job brought him to New York with Weizmann in 1948/49, to the United Nations to work on establishing a place at the table for Israel. At about that same time, he co-founded a publishing firm in London with
Nigel Nicolson
, son of
Vita Sackville-West
Sir Harold Nicolson
, and author of his parents' relationship, "Portrait of a Marriage."
In those first years traveling to New York he was able to meet American publishers and make associations with them. Among his early best-sellers was "Lolita." New York in the 1950s, he recalled for me, was a world where society and the elite entertained at home. The circle of friends and connections was wider than it is today. Social hostesses put a premium on conversation and "interesting" people, so talent – writers and playwrights, painters, actors – had a strong place at the table.
Mrs. Cass Canfield,
wife of the president of Harper & Bros. (later Harper & Row and now HarperCollins) was known for her hospitality and her scintillating guests.
Although he wouldn't have said it, and perhaps never considered it, it is obvious, and I'd heard many times before last night, that George Weidenfeld is a brilliant and charming man who is very easy to talk to. Not surprisingly he's long been much sought as a guest, and made scores of friends and acquaintances along the way. In 1969 he was knighted and in 1976, he was created a Life peer as
Baron Weidenfeld of Chelsea
. In 2011 he was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE).
Mark Thompson, the new CEO of the
New York Times,
with George Weidenfeld, at table after dinner. Jill Abramson, the new Editor-in Chief of the
New York Times
was also at the dinner.
In 1985 he expanded his publishing interests to the United States, acquiring Grove Press in partnership with
Ann Getty
. It has since been sold and merged and is now part of Grove/Atlantic. In 1995 he published "Remembering My Good Friends: An Autobiography" (HarperCollins).
Although he is no longer running a publishing house, evidently he is still active in finding works to publish. In 2005 he arranged the publication of "Mercury & Identity, by
John Paul II
. His involvement with Israel remains. He's been Chairman of Ben Gurion University of Negev, a Governor of Tel Aviv University, Governor of the Weizmannn Institute, Vice Chair of the EU Israel Forum, among several interests.
In our conversation last night, I asked him about his experiences during the Second World War and his coming to America, and working for Israel, and the UN. We also touched on the changes in the social life of New York over those decades. He thinks that the "changes" occurred with the Viet Nam War and then with the growing "interest in spectacular wealth" and its display. A forest of orchids filling a dining room for a dinner party, for example, might have replaced the quest for interesting talent and conversation, he said. Mrs. Cass Canfield, he said, wouldn't have even thought of entertaining her guests with spectacular displays of wealth. He said there are those today who entertain, but only among themselves.
Our hostess last night, Shirley Rosenthal – who has known Lord Weidenfeld for many years – is an excellent example of what he was referring to in recalling a different standard. Her guest list at dinner is populated with writers, editors, socialites, business people and artists. When the main course and dessert was finished, the tables are still occupied with conversation. You come away having got to know someone you may never have met before, and learning something you never knew or never considered. Last night it was for her guest of honor and it was a gift for all of us.

Next Big Thing
The Hisense Pulse Pro runs "Android TV" software and sports a refreshed user interface and an impressive remote.
While it doesn't necessarily beat the Kindle Paperwhite, the $119 Nook GlowLight is an excellent e-reader that's strongly worth considering if you don't want to buy into the Amazon ecosystem.
The software update brings lots of new features to the original Paperwhite, including Goodreads integration, FreeTime, and Page Flip.
Armed with a powerful processor and Amazon's exhaustive content library, the Kindle Fire HDX delivers incredible value for its price, especially for Amazon Prime members.
While the "all-new" Paperwhite may seem like an unspectacular upgrade on the surface, it's a clear improvement over the original Paperwhite and arguably the best e-reader currently available.
The terms of service for Amazon's new e-book subscription offering mean uncertainty for self-published Kindle authors, whose work is automatically rolled into the program.
A major British broadcaster has invested in a Silicon Valley virtual reality startup developing the next generation of entertainment.
If you're looking for a pure media consumption experience, the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 delivers better than any tablet before it. People looking for something more utilitarian, however, will want to look elsewhere.
The Kindle Fire (2012) takes it up a notch in value, but is tethered to the same design oversights of the original.
With a beautiful screen, refined interface, and huge coffer of media consumption options, the Amazon Kindle Fire HD is the Kindle Fire as it should have been.

And if you're looking to add a little sparkle to your smile to get camera-ready, a cool red lipstick is a great way to neutralize unwanted tones. But if you're looking for something more, sometimes a quick touch up in the teeth-whitening department is the way to go. Whether you have a month or your holiday card shoot is tomorrow, there are a variety of products that will take your smile to a brilliant white.

Best of all, the strips are easy to apply, and you can wear them around the house in your pajamas while you whiten.

Mr Cameron is in the doghouse again.
Predictably, the prime minster is taking flak over his decision to run parenting classes for people. As expected, some are calling the initiative an example of the 'nanny state'. In due course, editors will pull out examples of poor parenting by members of his government or those who advise him. We all know what's coming, don't we?
But what's he to do? There's enough evidence out there that parenting is failing. Teachers report not only children being violent towards them but their fathers and mothers too. Frustrated with school some are resorting to physical threats. Sound argument and debate is clearly not enough for some. This is not good.
The government's initiative is being linked to the need for stronger parental discipline clearly lacking during last year's riots. A good example perhaps but surely the problem is much deeper. There are two problems are the heart of good parenting. First, it's the hardest thing you're likely to do in adult life. Second, there are few public models out there to guide us.
Take the latter first. TV drama is a major source of information about how things work when we grow up. But in order to be interesting, it must be dramatic, exaggerated, and not what we'd experience, hopefully, ourselves. We enjoy in part because it excites us and shows us worlds at arms length that we don't experience first hand. Soaps are not the places where we look for models about our own behaviour. Rather, they show us things best avoided - but entertaining.
As for parenting itself, well any help you can get the better. Unlike antenatal classes, which can be as wonderful as they are daunting, everything after the first child happens in real time. And it's far too quick. There's no time to learn how to do the things you have to do and we all hope that when our children become adults they don't throw back comments made in passing whilst running out to work on a frosty Tuesday morning. Given the welter of words that a parent will dispense, it's hard not to fail to be inconsistent at least some of the time. Often more than that.
But it's much harder than that. Shortly after children acquire the ability to speak they become political. They understand that where two parents have differing views, there are opportunities. They exploit inconsistencies. Indeed, they create them. Children will posit that one parent has one view in order to trigger a response in the other. Hard-pressed parents don't have the time to carbon-copy each other into exchanges. It all happens too fast.
Hard enough for two parents, life must be unbelievably stretching for one. From whom do you draw support? Friends might help. Parents? Maybe. Not all parents are perfect role models. Some might help you to repeat the same mistakes with your children that they made with you.
And in the midst of all this, who wants to admit that they are a failing parent?
The middle classes are often best placed to address this challenge. Smart thinkers join the right groups. There are many of them. NCT, breast feeding mothers' groups, church hall crèches. All create space whilst children run around to reflect on your own practice and to get advice and support when things are not going well. But there are no such groups when children get beyond a certain age. You only hope that your networks are strong enough and that you can find willing ears when young people enter puberty, a time when testosterone is abundant and fuse are short.
Of course, you can read. And we did. There's plenty of self-help material around. You need time to read and time to reflect. At the end of an exhausting day, few people have either. Nor can you always share a moment to reflect. Stresses in families pollute all relationships. Parents fall out too. Being a parent is a big ask.
We all know how hard it is. But we're the first to criticise others who chide their offspring too heavily in the supermarket. The people hanging around on street corners are other people's children (we hope). We all have a view about what people should be doing - even though we know how hard it is.
We also know that poor parenting can create social problems. Young people look to their parents for behaviour models. People who mouth off in front of their children endorse that behaviour. Social problems are expensive to address and, in all honesty, rarely fixed. Once children become adults, they may inadvertently pass on unhelpful behaviours.
Something must be done. We all say it. So when Mr Cameron steps up and does just that, you'd think we'd be all happy. We're like people moaning in a supermarket. We're all keen to tut at other people but we're loathe to admit we could all be better. It's a lot easier to criticise than it is to praise.
We should all watch what we say about this. Our children will be watching.

It's clear that I hadn't contact with the owner, otherwise, foreign guests are not exactly "welcome" but situated in their own reality by the staff conducting like "well... come" (I don't care, anyway). I would like to know if the treatment for guest are different according to their stereotype / nights to stay. "

- " It's a little bit far from the bus terminal, need to walk about 10-15 minutes, but there are some shopping malls on the way, especially there are supermarkets in the shopping malls. Even though the location is not so good, but we like the atmosphere there, they have 2 living rooms and one kitchen, guests can sit in any one of them, enjoy our reading or surfing the internet, feel cozy. We checked out before noon, and stayed in the living room till late afternoon and took the bus to Vilnius. "

- " We liked staying at the hostel and our room was clean. Unfortunately the bathroom facilities were more dirty and there were blankets in the floors which hadn't been changed in a while. Selection for breakfast was fine! The staff were friendly but not that friendly but would definitely consider living there again when visiting Riga again :) "

Special to The Leader
The Orange Leader
AUSTIN, Texas —
Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples today announced $500,000 in funding is available for the Parallel Pathways to Success Grant Program (Parallel Pathways). Applications are due Thursday, July 11, 2013. Parallel Pathways is designed to meet the workforce needs of rural Texas communities through the development of educational programs that provide workforce skills and job training. Students will concurrently earn their high school diploma and vocational skills certifications or college credits.
"Parallel Pathways helps communities align their educational resources with the workforce needs of their local economy," Commissioner Staples said. "Texas students deserve the opportunity to learn the skills they need to pursue successful careers, whether that is achieved through direct career training or a traditional college route. By ensuring our future workforce has the skills employers need, we are not only creating a qualified workforce but encouraging economic development in our rural communities."
Demand for skilled workers continues to grow as the Texas economy flourishes. A total of $500,000 will be awarded to qualifying applicants. Individual grant awards will be no less than $75,000 and a maximum of $125,000. A minimum match of one dollar for every dollar requested must be provided by grant applicants. Applicants must demonstrate how their program will enable students to acquire the skills needed to compete in the local workforce.
Since its creation in 2009, Parallel Pathways has awarded seven grants, which have benefited Texans across the state. At the Lampasas County Higher Education Center, more than 600 students have received career and college readiness assistance, thanks in part to a Parallel Pathways grant, and the number continues to grow.
Rick Moeller, principal of Knox City High School, also has seen first-hand the impact of Parallel Pathways grants. Knox City High School received Parallel Pathways grant funding for the 2010-2011 fiscal year, which helped more than 100 students enroll in dual credit courses, allowed more than 50 students to attend college and career fairs, and employed another 50 students in a summer work program through the Texas Workforce Commission.
"What we are willing to invest today will produce dividends later," Moeller said. "The Parallel Pathways grant allowed us to help each one of our students whether they were college, trade school or directly to work students."
Accredited high schools, institutions of higher learning, chambers of commerce, economic development entities and other similar organizations located in rural Texas communities are encouraged to apply for a Parallel Pathways grant. Rural areas are defined as municipalities with a population of less than 50,000 and counties that have a non-metropolitan population of less than 20,000.
The deadline to submit applications is July 11, 2013. To learn more and download an application, visit www.TexasAgriculture.gov and click on the the "Grants & Services" tab, or click here. For questions on the application process, contact Mindy Fryer at (512) 463-6908 firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Parke County jury heard the technical side of criminal investigation Wednesday during testimony in the attempted murder trial of Zachary Buza.
Hundreds of photographs were entered into evidence, showing the scene of the three-hour standoff in Rosedale on July 22, 2012, as well as police cars struck by bullets, and injuries sustained by people at the scene.
Buza, 19, faces seven felony counts – including attempted murder, attempted voluntary manslaughter, aggravated battery, criminal recklessness and strangulation – in connection with a standoff with police at his girlfriend's residence.
Sgt. Kris Fitzgerald of the Indiana State Police testified about more than 100 photographs, along with the antique World War II rifle allegedly fired by Buza from the bathroom window of a home on Main Street toward police in the street.
The jury also saw photos of blood reportedly from Buza inside the home. Buza had been injured by the homeowner after an altercation involving a baseball bat.
Firearms instructor Jerrod Baugh of the Indiana Excise Police also testified about the gunfire exchanged between Buza, Trooper Michael Organ and Rosedale deputy marshall Kevin Bratcher.
And ISP Trooper James Cody testified about the trajectory of bullets that struck Organ's police car. Organ and Bratcher had taken cover behind the car when Buza broke out a bathroom window and fired the rifle at police responding to the scene of a reported domestic disturbance.
Testimony will resume this morning in Parke Circuit Court in Rockville.
