Rabbi Zalman I. Posner, Prolific Author, Pioneer in Jewish Outreach, 87

Rabbi Zalman I. Posner, the profound and prolific translator and author of popular Chassidic works who served as a larger-than-life rabbi in Nashville, Tenn., for 53 years, passed away on April 23 at the age of 87. He was a pioneer of Jewish outreach on a national and international scale.
The eldest of six children, each of whom was active in Jewish education, Zalman Posner was born in British Mandate Palestine in 1927. His parents, Sholom and Chaya, had recently fled the oppression of the Soviet Union and made their home in Rishon Letzion, where Sholom eked out a living as a shochet (ritual slaughterer).
When the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory, visited the Holy Land in the summer of 1929, Sholom Posner hired another shochet to take his place and spent every waking moment at his beloved Rebbe's side from morning to night. During the course of the visit, young Zalman fell ill, and his distraught mother asked the Rebbe to pray for her toddler. On the Rebbe's last day in the Holy Land, he asked Sholom how his son was feeling. Sholom, who had not been home in days, had no idea what the Rebbe was referring to; seeing Sholom's blank stare, the Rebbe broke into a broad smile.
At the Rebbe's urging, the Posners immigrated to the United States, where Sholom took up a position as a shochet in Linden, N.J. When the Rebbe visited America in 1930, Chaya Posner brought Zalman and his younger brother Leibel to the Rebbe in New York for a blessing that they grow to be Torah-observant. The Rebbe placed his head in his hands, looked up at her and said that her sons would remain unscathed by the secular zeitgeist blowing through the American Jewish community.
When Zalman got a little older, Sholom and a local rabbi put together a parochial school for their children and a few others. It would eventually become a day school with an enrollment of hundreds. It was a harbinger of the schools that both Sholom and his son Zalman would yet found in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Nashville, Tenn., respectively.
When Zalman was 10, he and Leibel, 8, were sent to New York, where they attended Toras Emes and Torah Vodaath yeshivahs in Brooklyn.
In 1940, the Rebbe arrived in the United States on the heels of the Nazi invasion of Poland. Immediately, he established the Central Lubavitcher Yeshivah, an institution of Torah learning modeled after those he had led in various countries in Europe. Zalman Posner was one of its first students—with the distinction of also being the first "out-of-towner."
The Rebbe took a personal interest in the Posners. Before departing home in 1941 to Chicago, where their parents lived at the time, the boys entered the Rebbe's room to receive his parting wishes. "You are my children," he told the two teenagers. "To your mother and father you are physical children, but you are my spiritual children."
On the Scene in Nashville
In 1948, together with fellow student Mendel Baumgarten, Zalman Posner was dispatched to Europe to serve the needs of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Stalinist oppression living in displaced-persons camps in France, Austria, Germany and Holland.
In 1949, he was told by the sixth Rebbe about a rabbinic post at Congregation Sherith Israel in Nashville, Tenn, and was instructed by the Rebbe to apply for the position. Shortly thereafter, he married Risya Kazarnovsky, the daughter of a prominent Chabad activist—Rabbi Shlomo Aharon Kazarnovsky of Brooklyn.
The two of them made their home in Tennesee's capital, where the bearded rabbi and his young wife were greeted by people who never expected them to stay more than a few months.
But stay they did. Almost immediately, they began inviting Vanderbilt University students to their home—creating a model that would become the basis for future Chabad on Campus centers all across the world.
One of his first protégés was young Yitzchok Block, who was studying Greek philosophy at Vanderbilt. "My father just gravitated to him," recalls Block's son, Rabbi Chaim Block, now a Chabad emissary in San Antonio, Tex. "In 1952, Rabbi Posner brought my father to the Rebbe [Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory] and served as the conduit that brought him to Torah Judaism and Chabad. When my father was offered a scholarship to pursue his Ph.D. at Harvard, he wanted to give it up in favor of full-time yeshivah studies. But the Rebbe would not hear of it, saying he would later regret the lost opportunity. Rabbi Posner supported and encouraged my father as he indeed went to Harvard."
In 1954, the Posners founded Akiva day school with only five first- and second-grade pupils. At the time, Nashville's Jewish community was by far the smallest in America to boast a Jewish day school, and the couple had a hard time convincing donors to support their new endeavor. Sixty years—and many hundreds of students—later, their vision proved auspicious.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, Rabbi Posner began traveling regularly to New York, where he was the featured speaker at the "Encounter with Chabad" weekends held in Brooklyn. With his signature wit and erudition, he not only entertained and educated his audience of curious college students and young adults, but taught an entire generation of Chabad rabbis the mastery of the pulpit by example.
His Friday night address was often followed by an informal discussion led by none other than Dr. Yitzchok Block, professor of philosophy at University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario.
Rabbi Manis Friedman, a world-renowned author, lecturer and philosopher, recalls that he used to sneak out of yeshivah to attend every one of Posner's talks. "Rabbi Posner's ability to present Chassidic concepts in English was revolutionary" says Friedman, who is himself regarded as one of the foremost teachers of Chassidic thought. "No one thought it could make sense in English. You needed a specialized language to convey these thoughts. He showed that it could be done. It was like bringing Chassidism to this hemisphere for the first time."
Friedman says the most important lessons he learned were to speak softly with confidence, to encourage questions and to never underestimate the intelligence of the audience—if anything, speaking slightly above their comfort zone.
"I recall one time when he spoke about the inner meaning of the mitzvah of tefillin, discussing many metaphysical ideas in a wonderful, lucid manner. When he finished speaking, he asked if there were any questions. There were none; everyone was just sitting with open mouths. Finally, one student asked, 'Is this what you meditate about every morning?' He responded, 'Nah, I just put them on.' That made an even bigger impression," says Friedman.
As Friedman developed into a teacher and lecturer in his own right, he says he learned the tricks of the trade from Posner, adopting his comforting, friendly tone, informal style, and absolute faith in the truth of the Torah ideals he espoused. "There was one time when I was speaking and [Posner's] sister was in attendance," he notes with a touch of pride. "When I finished my talk, she told me, 'I closed my eyes while you were speaking, and it was as if Zalman was in the room.' "
He traveled widely, often speaking in South Africa, Australia and the United Kingdom. As a leading member of the Rabbinical Council of America (the rabbinic arm of the Orthodox Union), and the Central Committee of Chabad Lubavitch Rabbis in the United States and Canada, he would often speak at organizational conventions and contribute to their publications.
Knows 'Chassidic Thought'
Posner's literary output was copious. In addition to regular articles (many of which are featured on Chabad.org), he translated many important Chassidic texts, including two sections of the Tanya, the primary guide to spiritual life written by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the first Lubavitcher Rebbe. Posner would often have long meetings with the Rebbe regarding the translations he was working on. The Rebbe once recommended him for a certain translation job, remarking that Posner "knows Chassidic thought."
His first book, Reflections on the Sedra, was published in the 1950s and featured succinct thoughts on the weekly Torah portion. Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, mother of the Rebbe, once told him that she made sure to study the weekly Torah portion using his commentary.
In response to the Rebbe's urging, he wrote Think Jewish (1978), a collection of essays that presents Jewish teachings and wisdom in contemporary language that related to the thinking of modern American Jews. Much of it was based on his legendary talks for students at the "Encounters."
As one of the earliest and best-known expositors of Chassidism and Judaism in contemporary language, he received prodigious amounts of mail. He would respond to these letters, pecking away with two fingers on his typewriter or dictating the responses as he paced back and forth.
In the 1980s, he and his wife traveled to the Soviet Union, where he performed clandestine weddings and taught Torah there.
Yet even as he traveled, Posner remained devoted to his community in Nashville, where he served as community rabbi for more than half-a-century, and principal and Judaic-studies teacher deep into his retirement years.
"I was looking through some school reports from the late '80s," says his daughter Vivi Deren, "and the comments he wrote about the students were just amazing. It was so interesting to see how he knew each child so well. Even while pointing out an area where they needed improvement, he would put it in a way that the child and the parents would feel good. He was a very engaging teacher, and everyone felt this."
"For years, he would characteristically stand to the side in the group kinus picture (at the annual conference of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries), holding on to the lamppost," noted Mrs. Deren. "Someone pointed out: Yes, a lamplighter of the highest order, holding on to the lamp in the Rebbe's daled amos."
He is survived by his children: Vivi (Rabbi Yisrael) Deren, Mendel (Jeannie) Posner, Sussie (Rabbi Yonason) Denebeim, Miriam (Rabbi Mendel) Liberow and Rabbi Shimon H. (Chaya) Posner.
His siblings are Rabbi Leibel (Thirza) Posner, Rabbi Zushia (Yehudit) Posner, Bassie (Rabbi Gershon Mendel) Garelik and Sara Rivkah (Rabbi Avremel) Sasonkin, and his sisters-in-law, Mrs. Reba Sharfstein and Addy Kazarnovsky. His sister, Mrs. Keny Deren, passed away earlier this year.
Rabbi Posner was predeceased by his wife, Risya, in 2007.
Their descendants serve as Chabad emissaries all over the globe.
The funeral will take place on Friday morning, leaving Shomrei Hadas Chapels in the Boro Park section of Brooklyn, at 10 a.m.; passing by Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights at about 10:45 a.m., with the procession expected to arrive at about 11:30 a.m. at the Old Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, N.Y.
Shiva will be observed at 1378 Union Street in Crown Heights. Condolences may be sent to email@example.com.

The hedge fund industry is still attracting new money, but not as rapidly as it once did.
Excluding performance gains, the industry grew by 16.95% last year compared to 26.81% in 2006, according to an updated report released by Hedgeco.net and Institutional Investor.
Assets managed by hedge funds increased an estimated 3.98% in the fourth quarter of 2007, reaching $2.787 trillion. This compares to an increase of 9.82% in the fourth quarter 2006. Performance accounted for $68.06 billion of the Q4 increase, and new allocations of $42.8 billion were offset by an estimated $4.16 billion in liquidations. Net allocations of $38.64 billion were the smallest in a quarter since Q4 2005.
Meanwhile, funds of funds asset levels increased by 4.63% in the last quarter of 2007 to reach an estimated $1.338 trillion compared to an increase of 2.39% in Q3 2007. However, performance gains, not inflows, accounted for the majority of the rise.
Fund of funds attracted an estimated $35.88 billion in new assets in Q4 and $170.05 billion in all of 2007 compared to $215.17 billion in 2006. New allocations in 2007 increased total funds of funds assets by 15.77% compared to 27.62% in 2006. Fund of funds assets account for 48% of assets in hedge funds; a slight increase from Q3 yet down from 50% in Q4 2006.
Equity Vs. Debt Focused Hedge Funds
Despite performance gains for the quarter, investors withdrew money from hedge funds focused on equity markets, perhaps an indication that large institutions felt the asset class had become over valued.
An estimated $1.5 billion left equity focused funds during the quarter; the group's first net outflow on record. Performance increased total assets to $1.074 billion, a rise of 1.74% from Q3. Fixed-income focused fund assets rose 7.59% in Q4 due in part to net allocations of $15.09 billion. Last quarter was the second quarter in a row in which investor allocations accounted for a larger percentage increase in fixed income strategies than equities.
Total assets in distressed hedge funds rose 7.04% in Q4 2007 to an estimated $228.83 billion. Although the average distressed fund was -0.66% in Q4, larger funds performed well enough for performance gains to account for the vast majority of the total asset level increases in Q4.
For the full year, $44.06 billion in new assets entered distressed hedge funds compared to $28.7 billion in 2006. The distressed space has been one of the fastest growing hedge fund strategies in the past two years.
Emerging Markets
Performance losses in August likely led to investors cooling on emerging market hedge fund allocations in Q4 2007. New allocations were essentially flat, $3.2 million of inflows, but Q4 performance gains increased total asset levels 5.21% to an estimate $314.58 billion. On a month by month basis; performance losses in August were followed by redemptions in September and losses again in November caused more outflows in December.
For the year, EM hedge funds attracted $48 billion in new assets compared to $38.88 billion in 2006 resulting in organic growth (growth of assets not including performance) of 22.64% in 2007 compared to 31.5% in 2006.
Global Macro
With the average global macro fund returning 2.96% in the turbulent Q4, both performance and new allocations to the strategy helped total asset levels rise an estimated 8.9% to $149.29 billion. New allocations in the quarter were an estimated $5.35 billion, compared to a net reduction of almost $2 billion in Q4 2006.
For the year, macro funds took in an estimated $10.44 billion compared to $17.48 billion in 2006. Despite attracting fewer assets than the year prior, macro funds appear to have stopped a trend of redemptions which began in Q3 2006 and consisted of three straight quarters of assets leaving the strategy.
Long/Short Equity
Long/short equity fund assets grew at a slower pace than the broad industry for the first quarter since Q3 2006, and only the second time on record. Total assets in long/short equity funds grew an estimated 1.75% to $810.74 billion. There was a net outflow of assets from these funds in Q4 as $310 million was pulled out of the strategy meaning the increase in total assets was solely due to performance gains.
CTA/Managed Futures
Strong moves in commodities, currency and interest rate markets benefited CTA/managed futures products in Q4 as the strategy was one of the best performers, returning an average of 5.78% in the quarter.
Total asset levels rose 7.24% to an estimated $163.63 billion as funds attracted $3.64 billion in new money.
For all of 2007, CTA/managed futures products took in an estimated $18.77 billion, a dramatic turnaround from 2006 when an estimated $1.09 billion was withdrawn.

7 Stocks Under $10 With Relative Strength
Cadence Pharmaceuticals
Cadence Pharmaceuticals (CADX) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, in-licensing, developing and commercializing products principally for use in the hospital setting. This stock is trading up 7.6% at $3.95 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $3.56-$3.99
52-Week Range: $2.56-$9.27 Volume: 160,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 375,129 >>5 Health Care Stocks Setting Up to Break Out From a technical perspective, CADX is ripping higher here with light volume, and the stock has moved into near-term breakout territory since the stock has taken out resistance at $3.70 to $3.88. Traders should now look for long-biased trades once CADX moves above its 200-day moving average of $4.08 with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that's near or above 375,129 shares. If we get that action soon, then CADX should re-test and possibly take out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $4.37 to $4.63. If those levels are then taken out with volume, CADX could spike toward $5 to $6 in the near future. On the flipside, I would avoid CADX if it fails to maintain a strong volume trend back above its 200-day.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Garcia has only himself to blame this time
TULSA, Okla. -- Sergio Garcia's quest to win the PGA Championship was derailed long before he signed an incorrect scorecard Saturday that got him bounced from the tournament. The incident simply put him out of his misery a day earlier.
Garcia, who lost in a playoff to Padraig Harrington at the British Open last month, then made excuses that included his assertion that he never gets any breaks, has only himself to blame this time. Although playing partner Boo Weekley admitted that he had written down the wrong score for Garcia at the 17th hole -- Weekley wrote 4 in the box when Garcia had made a 5 -- it is still the player's responsibility to make sure the card is correct before signing.Garcia was apparently in a huff after three-putting the 18th hole for a bogey that should have meant a 74 and a 54-hole total of 9-over 219. He would have been 15 strokes back of Tiger Woods before the tournament leader had even teed off.
Weekley said he tried to save Garcia from the mistake, but the Spanish star had already left the scoring area and it was too late. When Weekley tried to explain the situation, Garcia said, "That just puts icing on the cake." Yes, it did. It was not the way he wanted to bounce back from his bitter defeat at the British Open, where Garcia held a three-stroke lead heading into the final round, squandered it, then had a chance to win by parring the final hole at Carnoustie. His 10-foot par putt barely missed, and he lost to Harrington in a four-hole aggregate playoff. Afterward, Garcia never acknowledged Harrington's fine final round or his own mistakes. Instead, he lamented a series of bad breaks and seemed to suggest that nobody else is so unlucky. It was his second runner-up finish in a major and eighth top-five. Garcia came here looking to make amends, and he got off to a decent start with an even-par 70. He even managed to get on the leaderboard Friday when he birdied two of the first four holes. But the charge soon ended, and when he left two balls in a bunker on the par-3 11th hole, his tournament was effectively finished. But in what has become typical, Garcia sulked. He pointed at the sand, gestured to his caddie. He later made four straight bogeys and had to par the 18th just to make the cut. So he wasn't going to win the tournament and capture his first major championship. Yet it wasn't exactly the way he wanted to end the major championship season. Garcia is ranked eighth in the world and has six PGA Tour victories, but he has not won anywhere since 2005. Aside from his close call at Carnoustie, Garcia has missed cuts at the Masters and U.S. Open and now has a DQ at the PGA. And it is a long eight months until the next major championship.

Daily iPhone App: Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous is redonkulously challenging
One Man Left Studios scored big with its popular Tilt to Live game. After spending some time working on its Outwitters game, the two-man team is back with a follow-up to its first big hit. Announced earlier this year, Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous is now available in the iOS App Store.
Similar to the first version of the game, Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous requires you to move a triangular-shaped vessel around your screen. While gliding along, you must avoid other hazardous shapes. To help you in your journey, you can use power-ups that'll give you weapons to destroy these hazards. It's all about precise control as you steer your vessel perfectly and rack up points.
Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous sounds bland, but it is not. The gameplay is fast and furious as you activate weapons, wipe out shapes and play mini-games at the end of a round. Tilt to Live 2 is also harder than it sounds as controlling that vessel takes a subtle touch. It's easy to tilt hard and careen right by a weapon. It's a lot more difficult to glide smoothly and then stop on a dime to hit each item just right.
The gameplay is great for a quick pickup while you have a few spare minutes. Each round can last for a a few minutes if you have the right touch, or it can be over in less than 30 seconds if your delicate control resembles a bull in a china shop.
Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous is available for US$2.99 in the iOS App Store. It is a universal app that works on both the iPad and iPhone.

Three major telecom companies are slugging it out in Central America. With growth starting to plateau, the player with the best technology may prove the winner.
Keywords: Adam Williams América Móvil Telefónica
According to José Magaña, a telecommunications analyst specializing in Central America at Pyramid Research, the boom in cell phone use in the region has been the result of market privatization. During the last 15 years, each Spanish-speaking Central American country has shed state-run monopolies to allow private telecommunications corporations to enter national markets.
Three private companies - Mexicos América Móvil, Luxembourg-based Millicom, and...

Survey Could Spot Parents Who Shun Child Vaccinations2013-Sep-25 -- Robert Preidt WEDNESDAY, Sept. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Parent responses on a survey about childhood vaccinations can help predict whether their youngsters will receive recommended immunizations, a new study finds. Researchers gave the Parent Attitudes About Childhood Vaccines survey to parents who had 2-month-old children and belonged to an integrated health care delivery system in Seattle. The survey was scored on a scale of zero to 100, with 100 indicating extreme reluctance about childhood vaccines. The children's immunization status was measured as the percentage of days from birth to 19 months of age that they should have been immunized but were not. In the study, published online Sept. 23 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, higher survey scores were associated with under-immunization. Compared to parents who scored less than 50 on the survey, those who scored 50 to 69 had children who were under-immunized for 8.3 percent more days, and those who scored 70 to 100 had children who were under-immunized for 46.8 percent more days. "Our results suggest that [survey] scores validly predict which parents will have under-immunized children," said Dr. Douglas Opel, of the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Research Institute, and colleagues in a journal news release. It is always better to vaccinate a child and prevent a disease than to treat it, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thanks to vaccines, many once-common infectious diseases, including polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and mumps, have been controlled. Not vaccinating children puts them and the people around them at risk of catching infectious diseases, according to the CDC.

The Oben TT-300 Table Top Tripod provides a sturdy base of support for shooting from a table top or other raised surface – or set the TT-300 on the ground or floor to achieve stable low-angle shots. Constructed of aluminum for lightweight strength, the TT-300 could be ideal for macro or product photography with most DSLR cameras. With the included mini ball head, load capacity of the system is 6 lb.
Turning the twist lock enables you to raise the extension column of the TT-300. The height range of the tripod is 9.5 to 17.3". For storage or for tossing it in a backpack, the extension column retracts into the main center column, which in turn retracts through the chassis. With the legs folded, the retracted TT-300 measures a compact 11" long.
The tripod's mini ball head mounts most cameras, including point & shoot models, to its 1/4"-20 screw. A single lever loosens the ball so that you can smoothly adjust the tilt and pan. The ball pans 360° and a groove allows the head to tilt 90° in one direction for portrait orientation.
Maximum Height | 17.3" (43.9 cm) |
Maximum Height w/o Column Extended | 11.3" (28.7 cm) |
Folded Length | 11.5" (29.2 cm) |

I just wanted to show off all my hard work from this weekend. I was hoping to brew last weekend on this...maybe next weekend. I still have to build the electric keggles. (those are from my propane rig) I had to do the control box twice...after I got it built, it kept tripping the GFCI when I switched on the PID's. I had to run a seperate 120V to it and re-wire the whole stinkin thing...I haven't decided where to put the control box yet...and I need to paint the stand... Thanks Darryl
Nice set up. I see you got your HLT and BK ready for firing. I'm getting all of my components together for my electric conversion and hope to have it ready within a month. My only problem is trying to find a good schematic for wiring the control panel. I have 2 PID's and 2 40 amp SSR's for the elements. I have an idea how I want to connect it all but still need to see more schematics so that I'm convinced that I can wire it properly. If you don't have one can you or someone point me in the right direction?
I referred to CodeRage's "primer for brewers" thread. There is a schematic in it. Like I said I had to punt after the first run...and run in a seperate 120v. So, the schematic i drew up first is different. I have built several conveyor dryers for my screen printing operation so this was not anything new, just a different heating element and I don't have a GFCI on my dryers .
Thanks. I believe I've already seen that post from Code Rage. I'll rescan it to make sure if I've missed anything.
Just ran my rig today. Started the boiling of water while finishing the control panel. Once I plugged it in I got the same thing popped GFCI. I will be asking questions tomorrow to see what I may have done wrong.
It looks good guy! Let us know how the maiden brew goes.
I have a 4 prong outlet at home, do you guys know how to convert a 4 prong outlet into 3? or just wire it up somehow to only use 3 wires, and not 4? Also is there any way to run a 120v pump off 220v, or convert it somehow?
Its 35 amps, and i will be running 4500w element, and my pump which will be fine. I just dont know how to wire it up. To the pump would be Black White Green? and to the element Black Red combined going to Black on the element, White to White, and Green to ground? Good to know i got both, better just get a 4 wire cord then.
If you are running a 240VAC element, it will have 2 HOTS to the element terminals. Black to one, RED to the other... that is how you get 240VAC and not 120VAC There is no neutral on it

Getting there
Flights: There are three main airports in Sicily. Palermo and Catania are served by flag-carrier and low-cost airlines, while Trapani specialises in low-cost European flights.
Palermo Falcone e Borsellino airport (gesap.it), also known as Punta Raisi, is located 19 miles west of the city centre. EasyJet (easyjet.com) flies there from London Gatwick, Ryanair (ryanair.com) from London Stansted and Dublin. Catania Fontanarossa airport (aeroporto.catania.it) is just three miles from downtown Catania and served by British Airways (ba.com) from London Gatwick all year round, plus easyJet from April to October departing from London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester.
View our selection of great value Sicily tours and holidays at the Telegraph Travel Collection
Trapani Birgi airport (aeroportotrapani.com) is halfway between Trapani and Marsala, about 10 miles from each, and served by Ryanair (ryanair.com) from Manchester.
Transfers: From Palermo airport, buses leave for central Palermo every half hour from 6.30am to midnight; the journey takes 40 minutes, and a single ticket costs €6.10. A taxi should cost €35-€45 depending on journey time and items of luggage. The Trinacria Express train departs every 30 minutes from the airport/Palermo Centrale station and costs €5.80 one way. For more information, see: gesap.it.
From Catania airport, the AMT Alibus runs into the city centre and train station every 20 minutes (with a 20-minute journey time) between 5am and midnight; tickets cost just €1. A taxi should cost €15-€20. Buses to Syracuse and Taormina are run by Interbus (interbus.it).
From Trapani airport, AST buses (€4.50 one way) run into downtown Trapani and the ferry port roughly every hour, generally on the half-hour (check timetables at trapaniwelcome.it). Bus services from Trapani airport to Marsala and Palermo are run by Salemi (autoservizisalemi.it), though it's much easier to find info and prices on the website of Terravision (terravision.eu) which code-shares the Palermo service with Salemi (€11 one way).
In Palermo airport, the car hire offices and parking bays are frustratingly far away from the terminal buildings. There's a shuttle bus to save you the 15-minute walk, but it can't always be relied on. So it pays to factor in 30 minutes' leeway when dropping off or picking up a car here.
Getting around
Trains: For train times and fares, consult the Trenitalia website (trenitalia.com). Sicily's rail system is fairly efficient, but it lacks the high-speed trains of the mainland network, so journey times tend to be significantly longer.
Note that if you're taking a long-distance train between Messina and "il continente", as Sicilians refer to Italy, the carriages are actually shunted on to the boat: this is one of the few train ferries left in southern Europe.
Buses: There are bewildering numbers of bus and coach companies in Sicily. Interbus (interbus.it) and AST (aziendasicilianatrasporti.it) are two of the main ones, with routes all over the island. The websites of the main three airports include links to bus companies that operate routes to and from the airport.
Car hire: Sicilian roads and motorways are a lot better than they used to be, though signage leaves a lot to be desired and you do still come across the occasional potholed "main" road. Driving in cities can be an unnerving experience, but the anarchy is mostly controlled (and you can take comfort from the thought that no Italian driver likes to mess up his or her paintwork).
The main car hire companies are: Autoeuropa (00 39 800 334 440; autoeuropa.it), Avis (00 39 800 801 180; avisautonoleggio.it), Budget (00 39 199 307 373; budgetautonoleggio.it), Hertz (00 39 199 112 211; hertz.it), Europcar (00 39 199 307 030; europcar.it), Maggiore (00 39 199 151 120; maggiore.it) and Sixt (00 39 199 100 666; sixt.it).

There are risks with any form of medication, even something as simple as aspirin. But the risks listed in this article pale in comparison to the risks of pregnancy. Birth control is the mail reason that the U.S. has a relatively low maternal mortality rate.
How ironic that men still expect Hobby Lobby to pay for their Viagra. It seems that men are the weak, stupid victims who need big daddy government.
I really don't care about the Hobby Lobby decision. If you don't agree with their religion don't work for them. However, they are nothing but Cinos. ( Christian in name only) because they still provide Viagra for dirty old perverts.
If men want to drop out of society and be deadbeats they certainly have the right to make that choice. Nobody is forcing them to do it. There are no laws excluding them from participation. It is simply a matter of choice.
When pedophiles are caught they often are found to have a huge stash of child porn in their possession. That fact seems to negate this article.

She has a vocabulary two levels above her peers, but cannot calculate 4 + 6. He can read a symphony but cannot hold a pencil to write his own name. Are they gifted or learning disabled? The answer is, both.
Gifted children with learning disabilities (GT/LD) are known as "twice exceptional." Contrary to popular belief, it's actually a common issue. What is uncommon is recognizing that the child is twice exceptional in the first place.
Until fairly recently, finding a kid marked both "gifted" and "learning disabled" was extremely rare. Mostly because no one was looking for it. In the school environment, where kids are routinely put on a track marked "honors" or "remedial," "special needs" or "college prep," evaluators rarely looked for combination children. They didn't expect a gifted child to have dyslexia, or realize the child with ADHD might also be brilliant at calculus.
Sally Reis, principal investigator for the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented at the University of Connecticut, says that "identifying GT/LD children is very hard because they look to the rest of the world like average achievers. Their superior gifts may be compensating for and masking their learning disability." And in turn, their disabilities may disguise their giftedness.
In fact, although estimates say that as many as 20 percent of students have some form of learning difference, most twice exceptional children are never identified. Parents and educators tend to throw all their strength at "curing" the disability, dismissing the hidden talents they discover along the way. When they do recognize giftedness, they expect kids to "work harder" or "pull it together." Reis says, "It's like saying to a blind person, if you really work hard at seeing, you'll be able to see."
So how can we help a child we suspect is twice exceptional? The first step is diagnosis. Qualities and symptoms will differ, depending on the disability holding them back, but here are a few signs common in GT/LD children:
- An outstanding talent or ability
- Discrepancy between expected and actual achievement
- Difficulty getting along with peers
- Low self-esteem
- Evidence of underachieving
- The appearance of laziness and an inability to focus or concentrate.
One of the main problems for twice exceptional children is the fact that today's schools are very heavily focused on reading and writing. Unfortunately, these are two of the most common problematic areas for gifted children with learning disabilities. Quite often it is difficult for them to learn and excel in a heavily linguistic and auditory school environment. There are several things, according to Reis, that parents can do to help them.
For a child struggling with reading you can:
- Supplement his reading assignments with multimedia materials if available. For example, have him watch the DVD of the novel, in addition to reading it.
- Tape-record reading material for her to listen to while she reads the printed text of assigned books. Or, if you can find it, buy the book-on-tape.
- Include high interest selections from magazines and newspapers in line with your child's reading assignments.
- Have her paraphrase material orally.
- When possible, modify the reading material. For instance, select shorter books for book reports or books with larger print.
- Avoid reading situations which might make him uncomfortable, like reading aloud in a group.
