Welcome To St. Mark's Lutheran Church!
St. Mark's is at the place where we can feel God's guiding spirit leading us into a new future. "Behold" says our God, "I make all things new". We are committed to growing our spiritual lives, continually asking, "what does it mean to follow in Jesus' footsteps?" We are committed to strengthening the relationships within the community and developing new relationships with our friends who come to eat and stay for worship. We are grateful to discover the joy in being renewed. From Our Pastor The Month of Love Following God's Call From the March, 2015 issue of Branches Last night Lynn, the boys and I went to hear Doug Pagitt and a musician named Heather Lyn. Doug Pagitt is a pastor and author who recently wrote the book Flipped. The book is about the sayings of Jesus that seem paradoxical or are a flip. "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it". Matthew 10:39. "The first shall be last". Mark 10:31. He was a passionate speaker encouraging us to think more openly about our relationship with God... Read all of Pastor Lori's article in the March, 2015 issue of Branches. Click here.

We created an E-Newsletter for a client that includes lots of story links as well as banner adds. The majority of users are reading the newsletter in MS Outlook. The client thinks users will get confused when they click on a link from the newsletter and it opens in their browser and then the user can't hit the browser's back button in order to get back to the newsletter.
What are my options? Is it possible to control where the Browsers back button takes the user? I would guess not for security reasons.
If I have the newsletter links go through our main site and then redirect to the desired page (story or ad), can I do it in such a way that the back button will work and won't result in the user being redirected back to the redirect page?
Is there a better approach?

Gophers Get First B1G Win, Top Badgers
March 1, 2014 MINNEAPOLIS – The 47th-ranked Minnesota men's tennis team picked up its first Big Ten conference win of the season Saturday afternoon at the Baseline Tennis Center, defeating No. 49 Wisconsin 5-2. The victory was the Gophers' second in a row after it snapped a three-match losing steak. All-time, Minnesota is now 59-48 against the Badgers and is 6-5 on the year with a 1-1 mark in league action. The Badgers got an advantage in doubles play when John Zordani and Alexander Kokorev pulled out an 8-5 win at No. 2, but the Gophers mounted a comeback. No. 22-ranked Jack Hamburg and Mathieu Froment won their eight match in a row at No. 1, downing Petr Satral and Jakhongir Jalalov, 8-4, and Juan Pablo Ramirez and Franz Sydow clinched the first point with an 8-5 triumph at No. 3. Leandro Toledo padded Minnesota's lead with a straight-set win at No. 1 singles. The No. 84-ranked player in the nation topped Oskar Wikberg. Froment put the Gophers on the cusp of a win by dispatching Jalalov at No. 4 and Hamburg won his seventh singles match in a row to seal the team win at No. 3. The Rapid City, S.D. native beat Satral, 6-3, 1-6, 7-5. No. 2 singles sophomore Ruben Weber sandwiched a three-set comeback win over Kokorev between Badger wins at Nos. 5 and 6 to finish the match. The Gophers, who have played seven of their last eight at home, pick up play Friday at Washington and play again next Sunday at Boise State.

bioenterprise, austen bioinnovation work as one to propel healthcare tech in region

Let's imagine that the Northeast Ohio healthcare innovation community is a football team. That would make business recruiter BioEnterprise the quarterback, "handing off" startup companies to Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron, with an aim of scoring funding and resources a company needs to succeed.
Strained metaphors aside,
are two local groups working as a team to push a regional economic transition from staid manufacturing to the more vibrant realm of healthcare and innovation technology. What exactly do these groups do and how do they do it? How do they work together to achieve their goals? Key members from each organization share their connected strategies.
Providing a guiding hand
BioEnterprise is a Cleveland nonprofit tasked with growing healthcare companies and commercializing bioscience technologies. The early-stage firms BioEnterprise assists are seeking to produce medical devices and biotechnology, or developing drugs for commercial use.
The economic development group was founded in 2002 by the
Cleveland Clinic
University Hospitals
Case Western Reserve University
as a way to harness area strengths in medical devices and healthcare technology. The nonprofit's foray into a potentially lucrative "innovation economy" is built by guiding new companies, not funding them, says interim president Aram Nerpouni.
The 10-year-old business accelerator carries a $5.5 million annual budget. BioEnterprise connects entrepreneurs with venture capitalists and grant opportunities, offers them technical support, and guides managers in the beginning stages of their companies.
In its mission to transform the region into a bioscience hub, the organization has helped cultivate the creation of over 100 healthcare-related companies locally. Northeast Ohio has about 700 such companies on the ground, providing the region with 20,000 jobs.
BioEnterprise is currently undergoing a transition at the top. Longtime president Baiju Shah announced last summer that he was leaving to lead a local biotech startup. Vice president of strategic development Nerpouni took over the role in August on at least a temporary basis. BioEnterprise has not determined how long Nerpouni's job would be considered interim, nor is the group conducting a search for a new leader at this time. The Stanford-graduated scientist was chief administrative officer and co-founder of Austen before returning to BioEnterprise in 2011. Nerpouni had previously served as BioEnterprise's vice president of business development.
Due to the collaboration and commitment of BioEnterprise, Austen and many local organizations, the region is now a nationally recognized center for biomedical innovation, Nerpouni says.
"The heroes here are the entrepreneurs themselves," he says. "We connect talent to our partners so they're able to attract the investments they need."
Thriving in collaboration
Austen has flourished as one of those partner institutions, its leaders note. The group was formed in 2008 as a collaboration between several Akron institutions:
Akron Children's Hospital
Akron General
Northeast Ohio Medical University
Summa Health System
University of Akron
and the
Knight Foundation
Austen's focus is the commercialization of biomaterial solutions for patients with orthopedic or wound healing problems, says president and CEO Dr. Frank Douglas. The organization consists of five interrelated centers designed to leverage Akron's high-tech research strengths, namely polymers and musculoskeletal studies. In April, Austen opened a 30,000-square-foot facility to foster an educational series of team-based, patient-centered simulation programs.
The research aspect is only one facet of a collaborative effort that aims to spin out 40 to 50 companies and create nearly 2,400 jobs in Akron over a 10-year period, Douglas says. Austen has also formed a "symbiotic relationship" with BioEnterprise, notes the organization CEO.
For example, BioEnterprise holds workshops for startups looking to start clinical trials for their products. "We'll present [at the workshop] so these companies are able to see our capabilities," says Douglas, who also serves on BioEnterprise's board.
The partnership has helped Austen garner over 220 invention disclosures and 25 projects ready to move into the prototype phase. In January, the institute spun out its first company. APTO Orthopaedics is a medical device firm developing a noninvasive spinal fixation system for children with scoliosis.
With hard work and a little luck, Austen will create at least $50 million worth of investments annually in area healthcare companies. Having teams of smart, driven people working together across Northeast Ohio will only accelerate this process, Douglas believes.
"Our relationship with BioEnterprise is very synergistic," he says. "We have to continue developing our expertise and delivering on our reputation for quality."
Building for the future
Austen is a "nationally distinctive institution" in a region that can always use some positive recognition, says BioEnterprise's Nerpouni. His organization will continue to steer healthcare and bioscience entrepreneurs and researchers toward Austen with the hopes of increasing the momentum reflected in two recent reports:
BioOhio Bioscience Growth Report
, for example, states that as of 2009, Northeast Ohio accounted for 34.3 percent of bioscience employment (21,427), 33.8 percent of the bioscience payroll ($1.4 billion) and 39.7 percent of the total number of bioscience locations (714) in the state.
Meanwhile, the 2007-2011
Greater Cleveland Venture Capital Overview
, published by the Northeast Ohio Venture Capital Advisory Task Force, reports 61 percent of venture capital dollars went to healthcare companies, primarily medical devices ($243 million) and healthcare services and IT ($265 million).
BioEnterprise's own research has shown Cleveland's bioscience companies attracting an average $150 million a year in capital investment, compared to $30 million in 2002.
Continued cooperation among BioEnterprise, Austen and other forward-looking regional organizations will continue to build on a strong foundation that is steadily pushing Northeast Ohio's economy in a more dynamic direction, Nerpouni says.
BioEnterprise and Austen "are a complementary fit," he says. "We'll continue to find more opportunities for a seamless regional approach to attracting investment into the area."

30 Minutes to a Brighter Smile?
The new Go Smile Smile Whitening Light promises to lighten teeth up to six shades after just one 30-minute session. But does it really work? The Good Housekeeping Research Institute investigates.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Special Offers
The handheld light for the Go Smile Smile Whitening Light ($198, gosmile.com) comes with ampoules of a hydrogen peroxide-based serum that's applied to teeth; the light then activates the whitening agent.
To evaluate the claim, Good Housekeeping Research Institute experts recorded the shade of volunteers' teeth before sending them home with the Smile Whitening Light and instructions. The next day, volunteers returned to the lab for another tooth-shade evaluation.
The verdict: The device lightened teeth an average of 1.6 shades. As with all whitening treatments, the greater the tooth discoloration, the more pronounced the results one tester's teeth lightened five shades. And while some volunteers didn't like having to hold the light, at least half were satisfied with the degree and speed of whitening. As one tester noted, "I liked the results and that it was all done in 30 minutes, versus a product you have to use daily for weeks."

Buy fresh duck breast in Lower Manhattan? I'm making a special dinner Saturday night and am not sure where to find fresh (preferably not frozen) duck breast. I called Whole Foods in Tribeca and they have it frozen, so that's a last resort. Anyone have any suggestions? |
Quinoa in Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque? Does anyone know of any restaurants in these cities that offer dishes (mains or sides) that include quinoa? I've had a red quinoa tamale at Corn Maiden at Tamaya, and my brother told me there used to be a quinoa dish at Cafe Pasqual, but I looked at the menu and it seems to no longer be offered. if you've seen or tasted interesting quinoa dishes recently, please share! ----- Cafe Pasqual's |
Trattoria Nostrani news (Santa Fe) So did Shibumi open yet? It sounds great - my husband is a huge ramen fan. |
My birthday is next week and I have always wanted to do an Omakase meal. The question is, where to go? My usual sushi joint is Circle Sushi in Roswell (I live intown, but after exploring pretty much all the sushi options intown, I feel like the drive to Circle is worth it for really high quality, affordable sushi). Also love Taka for a splurge, and I suspect that Taka would do a great Omakase. We also used to love Sushi Huku until we getting really, really slow service there. I might be in the minority, but I'm not a fan of MF. But any other suggestions that I'm overlooking? ----- |
We get to only have ONE dinner in Atlanta......where should we eat? PS...we have three kids... Woodfire is not very kid-friendly but I agree that the tasting menu would be one of my top choices for one meal in Atlanta. You might consider Watershed in Decatur, if you can go on the early side (6 or 6:30). Their Fried Chicken is amazing. For breakfast, Flying Biscuit is lots of fun, and my daughter loves the biscuits and cranberry butter that come with them. Thumbs Up is also great, as is Highland Bakery. Thumbs Up doesn't take credit cards (they have an ATM there though) and both of those places often have a long wait, so be sure to get there early. ----- |
I had to move away from NY 2 years ago, but Otto is usually on my "must-visit" list when I come back. On my last trip there, last month, I thoroughly enjoyed my pizza, and in addition to the olive oil gelato, I had a salted caramel gelato that was incredible. The wine list, however, always daunts me... so many choices! |
Lobster rolls and white wine for lunch I've been away from New York City for 2 years but I will be in town next weekend and I'm craving a lobster roll (which I can't get here in Atlanta). I tried to do a recent search to see if there's any new news on the best lobster rolls in Manhattan, but I couldn't find a recent thread specifically about this topic... forgive me if I missed something and I'm being redundant! Anyway, I need suggestions on the place to get a lobster roll and a nice glass of wine on a Friday afternoon. Someplace that won't be too long of a wait at, say, 1:30 pm. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to revisiting some of my favorites next weekend! |
Yeah, speaking of Taqueria-- we went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago and I was shocked that they didn't have high chairs! Why would you discourage kids at what is essentially a fast food place? I thought that was ridiculous. Thanks for the advice... I know what you mean about it being unpredictable how they'll behave. For us, it all depends on how long it takes her to eat her own food. We had a family dinner at Dante's the other night and we ended up taking turns walking around with her... luckily the jazz trio was the perfect distraction. I've learned to eat very fast! |
Now that my baby is nearly 10 months old, and is reasonably well-behaved in a high chair as long as she has a handful of Cheerios to entertain her, I'm looking forward to going out to dinner with her more frequently.... after all, my husband and I are huge foodies and we want her to grow up knowing how to behave herself in restaurants! In particular, my birthday is coming up next Wednesday and I am in search for somewhere to go that is: Can anyone make a recommendation? We'll be going on the early side, around 6:30 or so, and I don't care what sort of cuisine, as long as it's well prepared. My initial thoughts were Sushi Huku (granted, that's just barely ITP, but I love the sushi there and I've seen lots of kids and babies), Watershed or Wildfire Grill (I've always wanted to go to the latter but I have no idea if it would be appropriate for my kid). Suggestions are appreciated! |
Atlanta, GA Dining Suggestions???? I had excellent service at Horseradish the one time I went (in October), and I really enjoyed my meal as well. The desserts were especially great. |
Good Food walking distance Agnes Scott Oakhurst Village is within walking distance of Agnes Scott and has some great options. She could try Universal Joint for pub food, or Steinbeck's Oyster Bar for seafood (including the only New England-style lobster rolls available in the city of Atlanta!) Both have seating at the bar that would be comfortable for dining alone. |
Cooking classes for newlyweds? These are all great ideas-- thanks, everyone! I am sure I will find the ideal class for our friends at one of these places. I'm leaning toward Hipcooks because it sounds like their type of style. Thanks again for your responses. |
London: Name of tearoom/cookbook store? That's it-- thank you!!! |
London: Name of tearoom/cookbook store? I am trying to recall the name of a London shop that's both a tearoom and a cookbook store and might also offer cooking classes.... does anyone know what I'm talking about? |
Cooking classes for newlyweds? Our newly married friends are moving to LA this month, and we thought that we'd give them a gift certificate for a cooking class as a wedding present. Does anyone have recommendations for either a cooking school or a housewares/cookware store that offers fun recreational classes? Thanks! |
Oops, I knew that about Geronimo. Thanks for the tips. I used to love the crispy salmon at Ristra. Anyone know if there's game on the menu at the Compound? |
While visiting Santa Fe, my husband and I want to go to a nice restaurant where he can have some "exotic" meat, whether it be elk, buffalo, venison, etc. We usually go to Geronimo's for this--he loves the elk stake there!--but I'm wondering if there is anywhere else that is known for interesting meats on the menu. |
I'm going to be visiting my mom in Santa Fe for a week and I don't want to blow my diet on greasy sopaipillas from Tomasita's, cheesy huevos rancheros at Tia Sofia's and other delicious but heavy fare. Any recommendations on casual or fancy restaurants serving lighter, healthier foods? It doesn't necessarily have to be New Mexican, but I do like a good atmosphere! |
There is a cute restaurant on Johnson Ferry and Roswell Road called Flavor Cafe. I was only there for coffee and pastries, but it looks like they have really tasty, fresh sandwiches, soups and other lunch options. |
prodigal eater returns to the ATL Welcome back! I just moved to Atlanta in August (from New York) and was excited to find the culinary scene here is much better than I expected. Not sure if your screen name means you're a grits fan, but if you are, you MUST go to Highland Bakery in the Old Fourth Ward. They mill their grits in-house, and they are amazing. It's only open for breakfast and lunch, and I go there often... it's my favorite brunch place, despite the long lines. |
I moved here from NYC about 6 months ago and oh, do I miss sushi! We had at least 5 good sushi places within walking distance from our apartment. We just got take-out from Zuma (on Highland in the Old Fourth Ward) and really liked it, although it was very expensive! I usually use California or Tuna rolls as my gauge for the priciness of a sushi joint, and these were somethling like $5.50 or $6 (in New York, most places charge $3.50 or $4 for them). However, the fish was great quality at Zuma, so we'll order there again... it beats the take-out alternative for us, which was RuSan's. |
If you're a fan of pizza, that's always a good option for vegetarian offerings. My favorites are Everybody's for casual, but really fresh-tasting pizza, and for fancier pizza, Fritti and Piebar. |
Night & Day closes - "Biscuit" is coming... And isn't the Night & Day corner "cursed"? I still remember whatever was there before it... one of the most terrible brunches I've ever eaten, but I'll always giggle about how their sign had their address as on "Fivth Avenue".... until someone must've corrected them and they changed it. |
Atlanta, Marietta, Tasty China. Full Report Steve, I don't think you gave us enough suggestions of what to order (just kidding!). Thanks for the great post-- my in-laws live in Marietta, but I have yet to explore the culinary offerings of the area beyond Mellow Mushroom, Johnny Rockets and J. Christopher's. Glad to know there's great chinese... because in the 3 months I've lived here, I have yet to find a good place within take-out distance of my home in Grant Park. |
Fall must! Caramel apples with peanuts Believe it or not, the best caramel apples I've ever had in New York City are from that little candy shop that's in Coney Island on Surf (?) Avenue, near Nathan's. It used to be my going-home treat after a Cyclones game. They use the crispest apples, and the caramel is really soft and fresh. You can choose peanuts or no peanuts. I think they also have the red candy apple types as well. Oh, and marshmallows dipped in caramel and peanuts-- which are just wayyyy too sweet! |
Where is the Bar Food in Atlanta Brickstore is a great suggestion, if the original poster doesn't mind the trip to Decatur-- they have an impressive beer selection, and the best "bar food" to order is the soft pretzels with mustard. |
Where is the Bar Food in Atlanta The Vortex, which has locations in Midtown and in Little Five Points, is a great bar/restaurant with really tasty burgers and fries. If you're looking for something a little more upscale, try Krog Bar (Inman Park) which has tapas-style small plates that you can enjoy at the bar. And ever since I had my birthday dinner at Rathbun's (same owner as Krog Bar) I've been dying to go back late one night just for their incredible dessert tasting menu and a glass of sparkling wine or sherry. |
Therese-- thanks! I've been meaning to check Pura Vida out anyway, so I'll make sure to order the hot chocolate. A Latin American place back in NY used to have a hot chocolate/churros dessert that sounds similar. |
I'm newly moved from New York City to Atlanta and I know this is premature, but now that it's getting to be autumn, I'll be craving hot chocolate very soon. Not just Swiss Miss or even Ghirardelli, but the rich, thick kind that's made with melted chocolate and, if you let it get cold, thickens into almost a pudding consistency. In New York, City Bakery, Jacques Torres and Mariebelle were my main sources. Is there anything like that here? |
We're new to Atlanta and are craving ramen. I'm surprised it's not on the menu at Noodle, but are there other places that have great ramen or other Japanese soups? We're in Grand Park area but will travel for a good option! |

A personal loan allows any consumer to get a cash loan. Usually, the borrower gets a certain loan amount (the principal) from a lender and pays it back with additional cost (interest rate including any loan fees). Repayments are done in regular installments over the stipulated loan period. Personal loans can be often unsecured, that is, they do not ask the consumer to put up a collateral asset (such as a deed of ownership to a car or a home).

Racing at Ayr on Wednesday is subject to an inspection at 7.30am on raceday morning.
Clerk of the course Emma Marley said: "We had a fair few beefy showers overnight, 12 millimetres, so that's an inch in two days on already quite heavy ground.
"We'd get round today, but the forecast is for more rain through the day and early tomorrow morning.
"The forecasts are variable so we'll just have to see what we get."
The track is also scheduled to race on Thursday.

- Wow! That is a big help! Very cool possibilities.
How do I get more involved?
We live in SW New Mexico. There's a little brief Ren Faire in Las Cruces 2 hours away, and a big two-month long one in Tucson 3 1/2 hours away. Is that the main type of event SCA attends, or are there other pure SCA events/gatherings in the SW?

Idle rich (will require more expenditures for garb and encampment accoutrements)
Seneschal/chatelain (of a noble's household, not of an SCA kingdom/barony/shire -- basically, you'd run the household/fiefdom, rather than having a decided role in SCA affairs, unless you want to volunteer at that level, too)

Animal husbandry (learn about period species of livestock and such)
Also, look into various areas of the world (and time periods) and find one whose philosophies, culture, language, or garb interest you the most. Place your persona there, and then figure out what your persona does for a living. Think about what your persona does when NOT attending these big group fairs/events that are, essentially, not a way of life but a deviation from regular life.

Curling Club sweeps into Port CityThe Coastal Carolina Curling Club was formed a few months ago, after many in the area wanted to try out the increasingly popular sport. A majority of those in the club joined as beginners, many intrigued by the sport that first made its way into the Olympic limelight in 1998.

When it arrived, it was beautiful — stunningly charred and nearly a foot long, it almost seemed to ride its almond-shaped plate proudly. The meat was buttery and supple, so much that as I picked at it, whole sections slid cleanly off the spiky little bones. Knowing that some people are intimidated by the thought of a whole fish staring back at them, our waiter had offered to fillet the porgie for me. But I much preferred to eat it whole, mining the critter's best parts: the slick meat that comes out of the hollows in the fish's cheeks and near the jaw and forehead; and a prized jewel of hearty flesh that powers the pelvic fin. You can't get that with a fillet.
Like our appetizers, the entrées seemed plated to let flavors mingle and cohere. My fish was set above a mound of roasted lemon potatoes and what I had thought was braised dandelion greens. On closer inspection, I found that the greens were actually lemon-enhanced rapini, a concession Tsiakanikas later tells me he made when his supplier couldn't come up with the proper ingredients. The potatoes, skinless and cut into half-circles, looked a little bit like something you'd find at a banquet dinner. But they tasted deeply roasted, crowned with plenty of rich lemon zest.
Also great: A fillet of grouper ($23.95) one of my friends shared with me was loaded with salty capers and the same olive oil and lemon sauce found on the calamari and my porgie. I loved the salty elements — it was almost like a Greek version of grouper française. But my friend pushed most of the capers off to the side in favor of the well-cooked fish. A tray of roasted squash, zucchini, and red pepper we shared was deeply caramelized and tasted like summer. It also melded perfectly with the delicate porgie, pieces of grilled shrimp saganakia ($13.95), and that fabulous bread smeared with homemade hummus.

All the while, the service was empathetic and swift. Each time our waiter came and went from our table, he offered some cozy Greek saying. He even managed to woo us into an order of baklava ($4.95) by describing in detail how the restaurant makes the homemade orange preserves that go along with it. The oranges are sectioned and boiled, peel and all, in a mixture of water, honey, cinnamon, and clove. By the time they get to the table, the peels are soft and candy-like. I'm so glad we got them. On its own, the baklava is sweet but also standard, with a dense filo crust that begs for something softer. Coupled with the orange preserves, though, it became something greater — a yin and yang of sweet and bitter, soft and chewy. Better still, it was the kind of pairing that showcases precisely what Trata does best.

This tool works great on the carpet!! I use it on Stella a bit and I like the way it sucks up the hair but she doesnot have much patience to stay for long while getting "dysoned". What I did do was use it to remove the copious amounts of hair from the carpet!! Hard on the back but worked rather well !

Philosophy is what matters most to George Soros, I learned the other day after an elegant party at Soros's duplex Manhattan apartment (I was invited by a mutual friend) celebrating the latest recording of Bartók by Angela & Jennifer Chun, a Korean-born sister team of violinists.
I shared a cab on the way home with the veteran dance legend Jacques d'Amboise, a longtime Soros chum, who explains that despite the concert which Soros presided over in a room subtly decorated with American Impressionist paintings, music does not rank highest among his passions. "Not economics, either, certainly!" continues the ever-ebullient d'Amboise, who was seen in 2008 in an HBO Documentary "Jacques d'Amboise in China." Philosophy is what Soros, son of the Hungarian Jewish doctor and author Tivadar Soros (1894–1968), prizes the most.
The elder Soros, author of the gripping wartime memoir, "Masquerade: Dancing around Death in Nazi-Occupied Hungary," changed the family name from Schwartz in 1936 in response to the rise of European Fascism. Also a dedicated Esperantist and founder of the 1920s Esperanto literary magazine Literatura Mondo, Tivadar Soros was a man of high ideals and literary dedication. Small wonder that his son George aspires to more than just to be defined in Forbes Magazine terms.
d'Amboise adds in praise of his friend: "Are you aware of how many computers George donated to Russia to help Perestroika?"
Indeed, a 1991 Soros book, recently reprinted by PublicAffairs, "Underwriting Democracy: Encouraging Free Enterprise and Democratic Reform Among The Soviets and in Eastern Europe" lays out a clear blueprint of charitable activism. This June, PublicAffairs will publish a further, as-yet-untitled book by Soros about his charitable work, distributing "more than $7 billion in over seventy countries."
No such facts or figures were in evidence during the party, which was dedicated solely to music. As the Chun sisters performed, I found myself sitting next to the 25-year-old Israeli pianist Nimrod David Pfeffer, a Tel-Aviv-born student of the distinguished pedagogue Pnina Salzman.
Pfeffer, whom concertgoers may have heard at New York's Weill Recital Hall last fall, is scheduled to perform in Beethoven's Triple Concerto on June 3 at Alice Tully Hall with the InterSchool Orchestras of New York. Pfeffer has already shown himself to be a nimble-fingered interpreter of Schumann and Chopin, and it should be fascinating to see how he fares with Beethoven.
Watch George Soros mull over philosophical matters at MIT in 2008:
The Jewish Daily Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, The Jewish Daily Forwardrequires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles.

About the Quad Cities Prayer Center
Who we are –
About a decade ago, God put a vision in a couple to see the Quad Cities region transformed. After nearly 14 years as a music pastor in a local church, Scott Schaefer, along with his wife Brenda, stepped out to start a ministry with that very purpose. The vision is driven by Scott's passion to not only lead others in praise but to train people to do the same. Partnering perfectly is Brenda's passion to not only intercede for the region but to also study and strategize how to cover it in prayer as well as train others in local church prayer ministry.
After navigating through nearly two years of this new ministry, they clearly sensed from God what the overall mission is: to unify prayer, praise and training to benefit the church and see social and spiritual transformation. Unifying is where it starts as God put a burden in Scott and Brenda's hearts to see churches and ministries united in true Biblical unity under the name of Jesus!! From that unification, gatherings all over the Quad Cities consistently happen to pray, praise and train.
If this intrigues you, look further into the individual ministries of the QCPC and see where it is you can plug in. And remember, we CAN build together what we CANNOT alone!!
Resources available
Hosting Community Events
The Prayer Center has facilities (space, food service and AV capabilities) to host community events. We currently host the monthly Quad Cities Association of Evangelicals luncheon and the annual National Day of Prayer activities among others. Contact us by e-mail or calling 563.323.3090 for more information. Below are some documents about rentals –

Currently, we have a test TS machine at work, which has a dual core Pentium 4 3GHz CPU, and 1.5GB of RAM, running 32bit server2003 (I didn't built it, not my choices). My boss wants to get this using Terminal Services, for about 50 light users (browsing the web, word, nothing to heavy). Considering this gives each user 30MB of RAM (assuming none for the OS), this clearly isn't going to work. What sort of spec would you recommend for a machine like this? What's a reasonable amount of RAM per user? Is CPU going to be a bottleneck?

The following article reveals the devastating and unprecedented impact that Monsantos Roundup herbicide is having on the health of our soil, plants, animals, and human population. On top of this perfect storm, the USDA now wants to approve Roundup Ready alfalfa, which will exacerbate this calamity.
If these standards come into force, they could set American children on a healthier eating track that could last a lifetime. The proposed rule, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the newly-passed Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, could also save billions of dollars in future health care costs.
Putting this plan into action seems like a no-brainer, but its expense, which USDA estimates at almost $7 billion over five years, is a major stumbling block. Nearly half of that cost would go to put more fresh produce on school breakfast and lunch menus.
One of the most detailed of its kind, the article characterizes the extent of organic horticulture production around the world. The findings reflect dramatic increases in the global industry and outline which countries are growing what horticultural crops organically.
Granatstein said the piece helps to paint a detailed picture of organic food production around the globe. The data availability and detail improves every year. But we still have major organic producers such as China and India that provide no details on their crops. If they did report, our numbers might change considerably in some cases, he said.
Vending machines that dispense snacks such as organic yogurt and granola bars, gluten-free snacks and fresh fruit will be rolling into schools, fitness clubs and office buildings. Often they will be replacing machines that have been around since the 1970s dispensing sugary sodas and snacks stuffed with trans-fats, high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.
Multiple chemicals, including some banned since the 1970s and others used in items such as nonstick cookware, furniture, processed foods and beauty products, were found in the blood and urine of pregnant U.S. women, according to a UCSF study being released today.
Organic milk brands were found to be more consistent in their nutritional value, while non-organic brands were quite variable, the study found
The European Union-funded study analysed 22 brands sold in supermarkets and found that organic milk had lower levels of harmful saturated fats and more beneficial fatty acids than conventional milk.
Like produce, milk quality can vary with the season and year. Dairy cows' daily diet, much of which comes from plant forage, determines the nutritional makeup of their milk, so when their food lags in quality, so too does their output. And a new study shows that conventionally produced milk is more prone to these unfavorable seasonal shifts than organic milk.
Earlier research had shown slight benefits in organic milk's nutritional profile when it was tested on the farm. "Whereas on the farms the benefits of organic milk were proven in the summer but not in the winter, in the supermarkets it is significantly better quality year round," Gillian Butler, of the Nafferton Ecological Farming Group at Newcastle University and study co-author, said in a prepared statement.
The Soil Association has hailed a report that it claims provides overwhelming evidence of the need to expand organic and other agroecological farming systems.
The report by the Worldwatch Institute looks at the global food crisis, with particular emphasis on global innovations that can help solve a worldwide problem.
Produced with support from the Bill Gates Foundation, it claims to highlight innovations that will allow billions of people to feed themselves, while restoring rural economies, creating livelihoods, and sustaining the natural resource base on which agriculture depends.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has agreed to stop planting genetically engineered (GE) crops on all its refuges within a dozen Northeastern states, according to a settlement agreement in a lawsuit brought by conservation and food safety groups. Because the federal government would not agree to end illegal GE agriculture in refuges nationally, new litigation is being prepared in other regions where as many as 75 other national wildlife refuges now growing GE crops are vulnerable to similar suits.
After much petitioning by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced plans to form an advisory committee meeting which will review clinical studies conducted on common food dyes including Yellow 5 and Red 40 and the link connecting them to adverse behavior issues in children.
Brought to public attention in the 1970s by a San Francisco allergist who noticed significant improvement in patients when they changed their diets, numerous studies have supported his theory, yet no regulations have been put in place to monitor the use of questionable dyes in cereals, snacks and candies targeted at children.

Hospital: 1 of 3 Ohio women in good condition
CLEVELAND — A Cleveland hospital says one of three women found alive in a house this week is now in good condition.
On Tuesday, Metro Health Medical Center had said Michelle Knight had been released. On Wednesday, a hospital spokeswoman said Knight was in good condition at the hospital. It's not clear whether Knight was readmitted or if she actually never left the hospital.
The three women were rescued from captivity Monday. The other two were released from the same hospital Tuesday morning.
Police say Knight was the first of the three abducted in 2002.

I eat small meals and gum between meals. I have lost 39 pounds over the past eight months with a three day juice fast, once per month. I also walk about an hour each day. I try to drink water if that doesn't help I will either eat a salad with just vinegar or I take a nap. I have the perfect way to know exactly how many ounces are in the food I eat, ....., wait for it, I Weigh IT! I stopped eyeballing my food, the looks the food give me are deceiving. I stopped guessing, and now I am 38 pounds lighter in matter of 3 months.
I have started drinking dessert tea after dinner and while watching tv or reading. My favorite is Stash Chocolate Hazelnut. Add a packet of Splenda and a splash of skim milk and it really does taste like dessert! Water the showstopper in your fridge
Keep your water in the most beautiful, pitcher you can find. It will serve as a visual reminder each time you open your fridge to drink your water. It also lets everyone friends and family know that drinking your water is important and it takes center stage. Don't give up in the middle of the day Sometimes if I slip up by eating something I'm not supposed to (like cookies or candies), I throw away the rest of the day and think 'I'll just start again tomorrow' and end up overeating. Instead of this, look at the rest of the day as a new day,
I have found if l eat Purposefully, nourishing my body, chewing, not inhaling my food, that l am satisfied physically and mentally. Bites, Licks and Tastes Count! It is so easy to forget about counting the Bites, Licks and Tastes...those little samples eaten unmindfully while cooking. To really be able to visualize what I'm doing, every so often I will take the food I would have sampled and placed it in a baggie that I refrigerate. I do this for a week, adding to the accumulation from the previous days. It is a real eye-opener and helps keep me aware of the "hidden calories" I've may have actually had. This is especially helpful during the holidays In stead of having a desert such as Skinny Cow I now go for a 30 minute walk |
