It isn't often Charleston gets to host someone considered by many to be a great example of human dignity and justice, someone who has changed the world.
South African high court justice Albie Sachs, now retired from the bench, was in town to deliver a couple of talks; participate in the African Literature Association conference, hosted by the College of Charleston; and meet a few friends and admirers.
Sachs, 78, was appointed to South Africa's Constitutional Court by Nelson Mandela in 1994, soon after the legendary anti-apartheid leader won the presidency in the country's first inclusive democratic elections.
Like Mandela and thousands of other revolutionaries, Sachs was imprisoned for his activism during the dark days of apartheid. Twice he was jailed, on no charge, first held in solitary confinement for 90 days, released, then immediately held again. He spent a total of 168 days in a small concrete box, he said. He watched day give way to night, and then return. He lost track of time. He had only a Bible to read, which he rationed so he wouldn't finish too quickly.
"It was very hard, harder than I imagined."
After about a month, a guard appeared with a written order. Sachs struggled to read it, having gotten used to the Bible's vertical columns, but soon realized that it was a court order permitting him more books.
Two years later, he was arrested again. The state's 90-day law, permitting authorities to detain political prisoners without charge, had become a 180-day law. This time, Sachs was interrogated and tortured with sleep deprivation.
No one ever told him what offense he had committed. But it was obvious why he was the target of the security forces.
He was imprisoned because he was a humanist and agitator for change, because his immigrant father, Solomon Sachs, a labor union leader, had written him a note many years before: "Albert, I wish you a happy 6th birthday. May you grow up to be a soldier in the fight for liberation."
He was imprisoned because his mother had taught a young man named Moses Katani how to read and write, then went to work for him when Katani became general secretary of the Communist Party of South Africa and a prominent member of the African National Congress. "The question of race wasn't an issue for us," Sachs said. "She had enormous respect for him."
He was jailed and mistreated because of his membership in the Modern Youth Society, a group of radical, mostly white students who purposefully challenged South Africa's segregation laws.
He was detained because, for 10 years after obtaining his law degree, he defended poor blacks against an oppressive regime and challenged the state's racist statutes, often for no pay.
Had he remained in South Africa, he likely would have been arrested again, so warned Stephanie Kemp, one of his clients and a political activist, imprisoned at the same time. He applied for an exit permit and left for London to spend seven years in exile. That second stint in jail broke him, he confessed reluctantly.
"I've never really fully got over that, collapsing on the floor ..." And he sighed deeply.
In London, Kemp joined him, they married and had two children. He earned a doctorate and taught law. But the feelings of statelessness were too strong to endure, Sachs said. So he left England, and his family, for Mozambique, located just northeast of his homeland. In Mozambique, a black-led revolution had overthrown the Portuguese colonists, and the sense of liberation was intoxicating to Sachs. Quickly, from the city of Maputo, close to the South African border, he became active in politics again.
"Even when I was happy in England, I was unhappy," he said. "In Mozambique, even when I was unhappy, I was happy."
This was the place he knew, and everything from the feel of the earth to the smells produced after a rain reassured him.
One day in 1988, 11 years after returning to Mozambique, he decided to go to the beach for a swim. When he opened the door of his car, the bomb planted by South African security forces exploded, nearly killing him. Apartheid was under siege worldwide, and the Afrikaner government was lashing out at its perceived enemies.
"The bomb restored my optimism," Sachs said, unexpectedly. "They came for me, and I survived. I felt fantastic. I knew as I got better my country would get better."
After learning how to write with his left hand, how to regain his balance walking, how to see the world through one functioning eye, he set himself to writing a new constitution for South Africa.
Six weeks after Mandela's release from his 27-year prison term, Sachs, who was at the time teaching human rights at Columbia University and who had been in exile for 24 years, returned to his homeland.
"I was back — it was joyous," he said.
He helped organize the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a mechanism for talking about what was once unspeakable and for offering those who acknowledge their crimes an avenue to amnesty and integration.
That process in South Africa, though not without controversy, enabled the peaceful transition to a multiracial democracy and has served as an important model for many throughout the world.
Sachs has decided cases before the Constitutional Court, which further advanced human and civil rights, including one that legalized gay marriage while at the same time affirming religious freedom.
He called that case "a touchstone for something much wider" in a diverse society.
"If we can't manage to find equality across difference, then we are finished," he said.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A man's curious find has triggered an investigation to unravel the events that led to the deaths of two people and the arrest of a third.
On Jan. 5, deputies from the El Paso County Sheriff's office responded to a call from a man who said he had discovered a bullet hole inside of his mobile home. When deputies arrived, according to reports in the Denver Post and elsewhere, they began a search of the area. Following the trajectory of the bullet hole, deputies were able to track back to the origin of the shot. Authorities discovered that the round came from the mobile home next door to the man.
When police initially knocked on the door there was no answer. However, they were able to locate the homeowner, who was reportedly at work. When the woman arrived, authorities asked if they could conduct a search of her home. She consented.
Soon after deputies entered the residence they discovered the bodies of a male and a female. The man had died from and apparent gunshot wound, but scene investigators were unable to determine the woman's cause of death. Subsequent questioning of the homeowner revealed that the male was her husband and the female was her mother.
The woman was taken into custody after investigators determined that there was enough evidence to arrest the woman. Although they had not determined what how the mother was killed, detectives still suspected that the woman had killed them both, announcing that the woman, Donna Kaiser-Anderson was their only suspect. Kaiser-Anderson was arrested and taken to jail where she is being held on one count of second-degree murder, according to jail records.
She has not been charged in the death of her mother and no murder weapon has been found.
According to FOX21 News, when deputies initially asked if anyone was in the residence she said, "Ah... well." When pressed again she then replied "no." Police subsequently discovered the body of Kaiser-Anderson's 52-year-old husband William "Bill" Coffey on the floor dead from gunshot wounds and her mother "Dot" Anderson covered with a sheet in bed. She too was deceased.
Police found a towel blocking the door gap, to apparently prevent any odors of decomposition from escaping the room and a large pool of blood in the living room that had been covered with a throw rug. Investigators also noticed drag marks leading from the kitchen to the bedroom where the victims were found.
At some point when police asked Kaiser-Anderson what happened, she allegedly said, "I blacked out. He did something to my mother, and I wasn't going to stand for it."
Neighbors said that on the Wednesday before the bodies were found, they heard three noises that sounded like knocks. The following day they saw Donna taking the dogs out instead of Bill, who usually cares for them. Subsequently, they noticed that all the lights stayed off in the home on Thursday and no one had seen Kaiser-Anderson's mother since Wednesday.
Although Kaiser-Anderson is the only suspect in the case, investigators are still not certain if she killed both victims, according to Lt. Jeff Kramer of the Sheriff's Office.
These new details bring up several questions about what happened and why. What did Kaiser-Anderson mean when she allegedly told deputies, "He did something to my mother, and I wasn't going to stand for it?" Is this an admission that she shot and killed her husband? Exactly how did Dot Anderson die? Where is the murder weapon and why was there an apparent effort to cover up the scene if Kaiser-Anderson allegedly acted in attempted defense of retaliation for her mother's death?
These and many other questions have yet to be addressed and it now appears that answers will not be forthcoming in the immediate future. Judge Maria Prudek has placed a gag order on the case and investigators are now prohibited from discussing the case.
Kaiser-Anderson's next court appearance is scheduled for March 1.

Proposed cost-saving mergers and consolidations in the Buffalo Public Schools vexed some teachers, parents and community members at Wednesday night's School Board meeting.
At issue are plans to combine International Prep and Middle Early College, two fifth- through 12th-grade schools, and a plan to consolidate all of the current high school football teams in the district into four teams that would be carved out based on geography.
John F. Abrams, a city police officer and father of a Bennett High School student, told the board that too many young people who could benefit by participating in high school athletics will slip through the cracks if the board approves a realignment.
"Now, if you do this consolidation, sure it makes financial sense, but each one of those cracks comes with a price. What I mean by that is that some students are going to be locked out," Abrams said. "What's going to happen to those students? They're the same ones I'm going to see on the streets when I go to work tonight."
The board did not take up the issue at Wednesday night's meeting. Board President Mary Ruth Kapsiak said the matter will be dealt with in committee meeting at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Still, a week after Athletic Director Aubrey Lloyd released the 14-page proposal, controversy continues. In his report, Aubrey cited difficulties that city schools have had joining their public school counterparts in the suburbs in Section VI Federation football, partly as a result of low participation and players inconsistently attending practices or games.
Robert W. O'Connor, former head coach at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and now an assistant at Bennett, disputed contentions that there is a lack of student interest in Buffalo's football program. "I think the football program needs more time to be looked at," he said. "People think that it's not successful. That's not necessarily true. Our second year at Bennett, we went to the semifinals with Sweet Home. Now, Sweet Home hasn't been beaten by any team in Western New York in the last five years, and we came within a minute of going to the finals. … We got beat, 18-14."
Meanwhile, several teachers and parents from International Prep and Middle Early College objected to plans to merge the two schools in September.
Craig W. Puffer, an art teacher at International Prep, gave a PowerPoint briefing in which he said the state's system of recording graduation rates penalizes schools such as International Prep, which have a higher percentage of limited-English-proficiency students than most others in the district. After the 2010-11 school year, "we had 31 limited-English-proficiency students in our class, and 58 percent of them graduated," he said.
"The district total is 22 percent, … but this means that 44 percent of all the limited-English-proficiency students who graduated from our district that year came from our school. Now, granted, we have our problems. Granted, we need to do a lot of work. But on the other hand, in terms of working with international students, we are the best school you have. Period. There is no better school."
The board unanimously extended for three more years the charter for Enterprise Charter School.

The Incline girls have hit their stride.
The Highlanders have gone 4-1 since suffering a Mount Rose League loss at South Tahoe on Jan. 18, outscoring opponents 228-131 in the four wins while coming up six points short against Truckee this past Friday, 37-31.
"The team is paying real well right now. Peaking at the right time," said Incline coach Wayne Nash. "Our press is killing most teams. We lost to Truckee only by six and seven (points) this year. Last year we were beat by 20 in both games with Truckee."
Most recently, Incline breezed past visiting Sparks, 59-23, on Tuesday to improve to 3-3 in Mount Rose League play (11-12 overall).
Junior guard Kortney Solis led the Highlanders with 23 points, as she went 7-of-13 from 3-point range, with six in the first half alone. Molly Franklin added 20 points and six steals, and Kerrie Tonking posted a double-double with 10 points, 12 steals and five rebounds.
Incline led 22-4 after one quarter and 44-9 at the half.
Against the larger Wolverines on Friday, both teams played a strong two-thirds zone that limited offensive production, as Truckee committed 35 turnovers and Incline had 27.
The difference in the game was the first quarter, when the Wolverines outscored the Highlanders 14-8. Every other quarter was dead even, as each team scored six points in the second quarter, 10 in the third and seven in the fourth.
Incline held Truckee in check in large part by shutting down leading scorer Sydnie English, who did not score in the second half and eventually fouled out.
Franklin, whom Nash calls "a star in the making," led the Highlanders with a game-high 12 points.
"She's a player," said Truckee coach Geoff Stephens. "Fortunately we handled the remaining players, but it wasn't easy. Coach Wayne does a great job and always has his kids ready to play."
Truckee improved to 5-0 in Mount Rose League play.
The Highlanders wasted little time getting back into the win column, as they defeated a solid Portola team, 62-47, in a nonleague road game Saturday.
"We took out our aggressions on Portola," said Nash, adding that the Tigers have been the California Division V Mid Valley League Champions the last three years. "They are a good team and well coached."
Portola held a 29-21 advantage at the half, but Incline exploded in the second half, scoring 41 points with the help of a suffocating full-court press.
Franklin dropped 30 points to lead all scorers, while Tonking finished one rebound shy of a double-double.
"She does so many things that can't be measured in the scorebook," Nash said of Tonking. "She's a very smart player."
Sarah Wright added 11 rebounds and Kira Porter had 13 rebounds to clean up the glass.
Nash said he was approached by Feather River College head coach Haley White, who was "very interested in a few of our players."
UP NEXT: Incline is scheduled to host South Tahoe on Friday at 6 p.m. and play at North Tahoe on Saturday. The Highlanders then host Whittell on Tuesday and end the regular season at Sparks next Saturday.

This is the problem I have with the logic of the league side. Because of the owners ridiculous first proposal, Bettman keeps claiming all they've done is concede. Starting at an insane point and moving towards something reasonable, however, is not really a concession. It just means you've actually decided to negotiate in good faith. Fehr should have started by taking the cap off the table, or increasing player share to 70%. Then he could have "conceded" to allowing the cap be in play again. Or having the percentage come down to 60%.
Bang on, harold.
These negotiations are a farce. And if that's at all on the players, then it's twice as much on "Bettman et al."

Zillycakes is done, but there will be no cupcake shortage in the Elmwood Village.
Wendy Egloff, owner of East Aurora's Firefly Cupcakes plans to open her second "couture cupcake" store in the former Zillycakes space, 1008 Elmwood Ave.
Egloff became interested after baked goods artist Zilly Rosen announced in January that her shop was for sale. Firefly's first location, at 700 Main St., East Aurora, opened in 2012.
"Firefly Cupcakes' second location will mirror the first with a showcase full of over-the-top cupcakes based on fun weekly themes, accompanied by Stumptown Coffee," according to a news release.
A new cake menu will round out the current all-cupcake menu. "Renovation plans include two inhouse dining areas and a cake studio for Zillycakes' Rosen, who will be in residence at Firefly."
Firefly usually has its house flavors on hand: Vanilla Bean, Chocolate Explosion, Red Velvet, The PBC, Nilla Birthday, Chaulkit Birthday and the PUNTcake, as well as other flavors. The store usually offers vegan, gluten free and gluten-free vegan cupcakes too.
Egloff said that she hoped to open the Elmwood location before spring is over. She has to obtain required permits from the City of Buffalo.
Via email, Rosen said she was "reducing her footprint," and taking a six-month break before she takes on more cake projects. She received national attention in 2009 for her cupcake mural of Presidents Obama and Lincoln, installed at the Smithsonian Institution.
"I will be available as a cake designer, a flavor developer, and a teacher. I will continue to design, bake and decorate wedding and special event cakes, but with more limited availability and only one at a time. I'll be available for creative, original projects for individuals or businesses beginning in the fall of 2013."
Rosen said she was looking forward to spending more time with her family.
She's working on a new book contract for a volume titled "Petite Treats," and participating in the Buffalo Public Schools' visiting artist program.

Room to Read | World Change Starts with Educated Children
Vietnam is home to nearly 90 million inhabitants, and boasts a long, pristine coastline.
The country's lush, tropical setting belies a turbulent history of colonization and warfare that ended with the establishment of the unified Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1975. In the years after unification, the country was plagued by poverty, repression and international isolation that hindered widespread economic prosperity. Today, Vietnam is one of the world's most populous countries and a large segment of its population lives on less than US$2/day.
According to the World Bank, 22% of Vietnam's population currently lives below the poverty line, an economic reality that coupled with a long history of warfare has contributed to poor infrastructure development. In the 1980's, the country's one-party government introduced a series of reforms aimed at improving the economy and living standards. The Doi Moi (renovation), as it's called, has made great advances since then—specifically in the areas of growing private enterprise, attracting foreign investment and transforming the country into an industrialized nation.
In the cities, a young middle class is eager to become engaged in trade with the rest of the world, but despite all efforts made to expand opportunities nearly two-thirds of the Vietnamese population still works as field laborers.
Marred by a history of warfare and poverty, Vietnam continues its struggle to develop an effective infrastructure, and 33% of the population is under the age of 15.
Despite concerted efforts to improve education by the Vietnamese government through the Doi Moi policy, which provides for universal education through the secondary level, the concept of a knowledge-based economy is new in Vietnam, and presents many challenges to the education system—particularly in rural areas.
With facilities in short supply, many students have inadequate access to the textbooks and supplies they need. In rural areas, transportation is also a challenge, with many students forced to travel miles alone on treacherous roads to reach the nearest school. Often, family pressure outweighs children's dreams to finish their education, and girls in particular drop out so they can contribute to the household income.
Room to Read Vietnam was founded in 2001 as our second country of operation. We began our work in a few regions along the Mekong Delta, and have now expanded to include communities throughout northern and southern Vietnam.
Our focus on infrastructure in the country includes School Construction, School Libraries and Book Publishing—with a special focus on printing "big books" for shared reading. We also operate our Girls' Education program in Vietnam, and most recently introduced a Reading & Writing Instruction program that targets early literacy skills among primary school children.
Key partners in Vietnam include the Department of Education and Training and the Union of Friendship Organizations.

Phong has spent more than 20 years in the nonprofit sector working with leading development agencies like the World Bank, AusAID, ActionAid and the Food & Agriculture Organization, but began his career—in true Room to Read fashion—as a professional librarian.
Now, in his role as country director for Room to Read Vietnam, Phong says the stories of triumph he hears from children we work with inspire him to constantly do more. "They energize me and help me to cope with challenges and difficulties in my job," he says.
In his spare time, Phong loves to cook and read stories with his own children. "I am happy to see my kids growing with love for books."

Express isn't an MVC, it's really just a simple web framework. There's no models, views (well, maybe...), or controllers.
@Andrew: You're right and what I see is that Express is mostly for creating controllers (with different middlewares) and for view you have to use modules like Jade (I think it's included in Express already), and for models it could be Mongoose (for MongoDB schemas). But nobody is forcing us to keep MVC pattern.
"Seek MVC patterns in NodeJS web frameworks, do not."

A recent letter repeated the myth that the Obamacare website cost over $600 million, (Letter: How much does Obamacare truly cost?). That is simply not true. That has even been debunked by right wing media like National Review and Glenn Beck's website The Blaze. It took me less than a minute to debunk it on Google.
What is sad is that this newspaper allows such easily disproven statements to be printed in its Letters to the Editor.
What is even sadder is that the letter writer is a retired, once prominent Rockford trial attorney. Trial attorneys know better than to believe anything they hear or see, especially when it is being pushed by a source with such an obvious agenda as Fox News or Newsmax. As a trial attorney, you learn to be skeptical of sources because it is so easy to find an "expert" to take any position desired, as long as you pay them enough.
The website actually cost $70 to million to build, and the contract as awarded was $93 million. The $600 million figure includes all government work the company was paid for over the last seven years.
How sad is it when even Glenn Beck so easily disproves a right wing lie?

International duty hits counties
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Ireland's Twenty20 international series with Bangladesh this week has left an added strain on several of the counties in LV= County Championship action, many of whom are also without England Test players.
Ireland have three T20s versus the Tigers in Belfast, starting tomorrow when six championship matches begin, and England face South Africa at the Kia Oval in the first Investec Test from Thursday.
Division One leaders Warwickshire are hardest hit, being without England batsmen Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott plus Ireland duo Will Porterfield and Boyd Rankin against Somerset at Taunton.
Somerset are missing Ireland's George Dockrell as well as Marcus Trescothick, who is set to continue his recovery from ankle surgery by playing for the second XI this week.
Injured bowlers Steve Kirby and Adam Dibble are out, while the Overton twins - Jamie and Craig - are on England Under-19 duty.
Rikki Clarke, who scored an unbeaten century and took three wickets as Warwickshire gained maximum bonus points in Sunday's draw with Sussex to go top, told ecb.co.uk: "We've got to be on our game the next four days against Somerset, a dangerous side who are always up there or thereabouts. It'll be a good contest down at Taunton."
Last season's corresponding fixture was memorable for Clarke, who returned 5-10 as the hosts were skittled for 50 in their second innings en route to a 382-run defeat.
"You don't get too many games like that. We'd be delighted if it turned out that way again," he said before recalling April's two-wicket win at Edgbaston.
"When you play sides that you've done well against recently, it almost give you a bit of an upper hand," he added. "But we're not going to take them lightly. They've got some wonderful cricketers - they missing a couple of people as well - but the people who are coming in are equally strong."
Second-placed Nottinghamshire, who face Hampshire today in the Clydesdale Bank 40, are without England bowlers Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann for the visit of Surrey - themselves minus Kevin Pietersen - to Trent Bridge.
Surrey have Matthew Spriegel in their championship squad for the first time this year but are missing Gary Wilson, who is on Ireland duty, and Rory Hamilton-Brown, who is on compassionate leave.
Bottom side Durham include captain Paul Collingwood, who missed last week's draw with Worcestershire as he stepped up his recovery from a broken hand, for the trip to Arundel to face Sussex. Graham Onions and Matt Prior are with England and Ed Joyce with Ireland.
Lancashire must make do without James Anderson versus winless Worcestershire, who are in CB40 action against Gloucestershire today, at Old Trafford.
Division Two leaders Derbyshire host second-placed Yorkshire at Chesterfield with Jonny Bairstow set to keep wicket for visitors after he was dropped from England's Test squad.
Tim Bresnan, who made the England cut, is absent - as is Andrew Gale; the White Rose skipper is not quite ready to return from a hip injury.
In-form Derbyshire batsman Dan Redfern told ecb.co.uk: "They're a good side, we know that, but so are we at the moment. We know that if we play our best cricket, we can beat them.
"We're going to play positive cricket, depending on how much we get in - I'm not sure about the weather - our goal is to go out there and win it."
He added: "From now on, with us being at the top, teams are trying to chase us and are targeting us.
"Whether it's Yorkshire, Kent or anyone we play now, it's going to be a massive game. We've just going to treat it like another game, try to carry on from where we started when we left off in the first half of the season and try not to 'big up the game' too much.
Gloucestershire - who are in CB40 action today - host Leicestershire at Cheltenham.

US tour group leader returns to Israel to volunteer
08 August 2006
by Andrew Kitchenman
New Jersey, USA: Jeremy Stadlin was delivering a meal to a home in Safed, a town in northern Israel 10 miles from the Lebanon border, on Friday when he heard a siren warning that rockets would soon fall.
The 27-year-old got out of the car he was in, ducked into the concrete enclosure for a trash bin and listened to the whir of the rocket as it passed over his head.
"It sounded almost like I heard a really giant Frisbee," Stadlin said of the noise as the rocket passed.
For Stadlin, as for many others in the border area, the sound of rockets and the subsequent explosions have been a part of daily life for much of the past month.
Stadlin fled Safed with a college-age tour group he was leading in July after rocket attacks began from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, but he decided to go back two weeks ago to do what he can to help the community there.
Stadlin has lived in Israel for the past 13 months and felt it was his duty to help. For the past two weeks, he has delivered meals to isolated families and has played his flute and guitar for wounded soldiers and Safed residents.
"I came back because I'm not a soldier, ... I'm not a fighter, I don't think it's in my character, but I feel it is my duty (to be) here," Stadlin said in a phone interview Monday. "I just knew that there was work I could do. If not me, I don't know who would."
Stadlin, a self-described free spirit, said he is a peace lover but feels that if Israel didn't fight, it would mean the destruction of the country. He works as a volunteer for Livnot, an organization that connects young Jewish people to Israel.
He will soon be joined by his mother, Maxine Elkins, and stepfather, Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, who are making a five-day trip to Israel next week.
Since graduating from Princeton High School in 1997, Stadlin has travelled much of the time. He studied at the University of Pittsburgh and Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia before spending time in the Pacific Northwest and volunteering at an orphanage in Guatemala.
He had found peace and quiet in Safed, which is also spelled Tzfat. The town, the historic centre of the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, had not been the subject of attacks in 25 years.
That peace seemed distant Monday as Stadlin felt the hospital he was in shudder from a blast of a Katyusha rocket, and could look out and see two plumes of smoke.
He said many people have been living in bomb shelters for three weeks. The threat from rockets can be nerve-wracking while he is outside delivering food.
"You just pray and hope it does not land on you," he said.
He plays his instruments at the hospital as a token of thanks for the soldiers' efforts. He recalled a soldier who had been unable to sleep for two days after his friends were killed. "We played really gently. We played for 20, 25 minutes" and the soldier fell asleep, he said. He added that he had composed several songs to play to the accompaniment of the warning sirens.
Stadlin has known victims of the conflict. Michael Levin, the former Holland, Bucks County, Pa., resident and Israeli sergeant who was killed in Lebanon last week, had shared Sabbath meals with Stadlin in Jerusalem, Stadlin said.
Stadlin made sure he had his family's blessing when he decided to return to Safed. He said other people don't want their families to know where they are, but he knew he could count on his family's support.
He recalled a conversation with his father, Steven Stadlin of Philadelphia, quoting him as saying, "My gut reaction is that I would tell you to come home, but I know you won't come home."
His stepfather and mother live in Princeton Township, while his father and stepmother live in Philadelphia. Stadlin also has an identical twin, Yoni. Stadlin's stepfather, Dov Peretz Elkins, retired as rabbi of the Princeton Jewish Center and now serves as rabbi of a congrega tion in Montville, Morris County.
Maxine Elkins said she and her husband will be making the trip to Israel for the same reason that she said her son has stayed in Safed -- to make sure Israel is secure.
"We're very proud that he chose to do this and help," she said.
On his Web site, www.jerstadlin.blogspot.com, Stadlin shares stories of his time in Israel. Stadlin has a ticket to return to the United States next week, but he doesn't know whether he will return or make Israel his permanent home.

Even though there shit might not ryhme/make sense more than half the time and "dipset" is said every other word.. it sure does flow nicely and is super fly. In refrence to the confusion of the meaning of the word Dipset, it is beleived that the word was thought of by taking the first 3 letters of Diplomats and adding set "those guys are a heavy set"

Three types of forecasts are available from the point-click Point forecast pages. All of the forecasts are gridpoint based, and prepared by National Weather Service forecasters. In most areas the grid resolution is 5km; however in mountaineous areas a finer resolution is used, usually 2.5km. Below is a description of the forecasts available in the interactive forecast pages, and how to use them.
1. 7-Day Text Forecasts
The 7-day text forecasts provide a text-based look at the forecast for the next 7 days. Near the top of the page a quick-glimpse of the weather is available, which provides a picture, a one or two word description of the expected weather, and the forecast high or low temperature.
Below this, an actual worded forecast is displayed with more detail. In addition, you will find any current watches, warnings, or advisories in effect listed here, along with current weather conditions, and links to more available weather information for the selected area.
2. Meteorograms
A meteorogram is an element-time look at weather conditions for the next 48 hours. If this forecast type is selected the user can also select which weather elements they would like to see the forecast for by selecting/de-selecting the weather element check boxes.
The following weather elements are presented in a linear format, tracing the changes on an hourly basis,
Special note concerning wind speed and direction
In addition to the linear trace of the magnitude of the wind, the wind direction is also shown using what is called a "wind barb". The wind barb is always point in the direction that the wind is coming from. The magnitude of the wind on a wind barb is calculated using the attached flags at the end of the wind barb. A long wind flag is 10 mph, a short wind flag is 5 mph, and a triangle wind flag is 50 mph. So, if you see a wind barb with two long flags and one short flag on it, the forecast wind speed would be 25 mph.
The following weather elements are presented in bar graph format, giving the chances for each type of weather event categorically.
3. Digital/Tabular
The digital/tabular forecast pages provide hourly forecast information in tabular format for weather conditions in the next 120 hours. If this forecast type is selected the user can also select which weather elements they would like to see the forecast for by selecting/de-selecting the weather element check boxes.
The following weather elements are presented in a tabular

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
March 25, 2013
The Saint Vincent Gallery will present the second of two senior exhibitions this spring from Friday, April 19 to Sunday, May 6. Student Exhibition Two opens with a reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18 and will show the work of Colleen Hanlon, an art education major from Hollidaysburg; Emily Latimer, a graphic design major from New Alexandria; Alex Policicchio, a studio arts major from Johnstown; Stacey Pydynkowski, a studio arts major from Mount Pleasant; and Brittany Reese, a studio arts major from Uniontown. Gallery hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. The Gallery is closed on Mondays.
Admission is free and open to the public. Hanlon expects to earn a bachelor of arts degree in May with teaching certification for K-12. A participant in the Fred Rogers Scholarship Program, she was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, dean's list and Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, served as honors convocation art exhibit coordinator and was a community service award winner. She served as a student teacher at Greater Latrobe High School and at Baggaley Elementary School. "Works of art are like people," she commented. "totally unique and distinctively different from one another. No two works of art are ever the same because no two people are ever the same; personal experiences are what distinguish one person from the next and personal experiences are the fuel for artwork." A 2008 graduate of Greensburg Central Catholic High School, Latimer also studied at Penn College of Technology and Westmoreland County Community College and will graduate from Saint Vincent College in May. She has worked at the Latrobe Art Center and in the Saint Vincent College Office of Information Services. "I believe that art can speak to everyone but to everyone it speaks differently," she commented. "I try to capture that with my artwork. I enjoy designing images that everyone can relate to." A graduate of Westmont Hilltop High School, Policicchio will earn a bachelor of arts degree from Saint Vincent College in May with a minor in art history. He has worked in set design and construction for the Saint Vincent Summer Theatre. He has been on the Dean's List every semester; has been honored with membership in Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society and Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities; and earned honorable mention in the Latrobe Art Center Competition. "I make art so that on canvas, paper, in metal, stone, fabric and stained glass I may come to know myself through the world," he commented. Pydynkowski will earn degrees in studio art and psychology from Saint Vincent College in May. A member of the Saint Vincent Phonathon staff, she also worked as a photography tutor and studio assistant for the art department and as a life enrichment intern for Emeritus Assisted Living of Latrobe. A member of the dean's list, she was honored with membership in Psi Chi psychology honor society, Alpha Lambda Delta academic honor society and participated in the certified emerging leadership program. "I encourage others to reflect upon their own realities as they view my reflections personified in art," she commented. Reese will graduate from Saint Vincent with majors in studio art and anthropology in May. A member of the art club, anthropology club and Habitat for Humanity, she has worked as a gallery attendant at the Andy Warhol Museum and at The Saint Vincent Gallery. "My artwork is meant to serve as a window into cognition: the possibilities and expansiveness of the mind, thought and self," she commented. "My artwork can be whimsical and dark. I like exploring different mediums and techniques which generates discovery and growth as an artist."

Christmas cakes are made in many different ways, but generally they are variations on the classic fruitcake.
They can be light, dark, moist, dry, heavy, spongy etc. They are made in many different shapes, with frosting, royal icing, a dusting of icing sugar or plain.
The spices and dried fruits in the cake are supposed to represent the exotic eastern spices brought by the three Wise Men to the newborn King!
The fruit is all soaked overnight in the brandy, in a covered bowl, before use.
(This makes 1 x 9" Christmas Cake - so you can double the recipe if you wish)
My Ingredients:
150g (1 Cup) raisins
125g (3/4 Cup) stoned dates
125g (3/4 Cup) sultanas
100g (1/2 Cup) glace cherries
100ml (3 1/2 fl oz) Irish whiskey
(all the above are mixed and soaked together the night before you start making the cake)
225g (1 Cup) real butter
extra butter for greasing
200g (1 Cup) caster sugar
4 eggs
grated rind of 1 lemon & 1 orange
2tbls black treacle
225g (2 Cups) plain flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp grated nutmeg
¼ tsp ground clove
50g ( 1/2 Cup) ground almonds
60ml (2 fl oz) Irish whiskey, extra
My Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F), Gas mark 2. Grease a 23cm ( 9") cake tin and line it with greaseproof paper. Wrap some Newspaper around the outside of the tin and tie it with string, which will help the outside of the cake from browning too much during the cooking and prevent it from drying out.
2. Beat together, in a bowl, the sugar & butter until creamy. Gradually add the eggs, dusting a little of the flour in with each egg added. Add the black treacle & grated fruit rinds and mix.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and the almonds into the bowl of pre-soaked fruit. Stir all of this together, mixing well.
4. Fold the fruit mix into the egg mix, stirring evenly. Spoon the completed mix into the cake tin.
5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 3 hours. If it is browning a little too much cover it loosely with tinfoil. Cook for another ½ hour. The cake is cooked when a fine skewer, inserted into the centre, comes out clean.
Make holes all over the warm cake with a skewer and spoon the extra 60ml (2 fl oz) alcohol over the holes until it has all soaked in. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. When it's cold, remove it from the tin, peel off the lining paper, then wrap first in clean greaseproof paper and then in foil.
A small amount of brandy, sherry or whiskey (depending on your favourite tipple) should be poured onto the cake every week until Christmas. This process is called "feeding the cake" and you have to make sure that you turn the cake over each week, when you pour another little bit of your favourite tipple over it.
This ensures that all that lovely alcohol penetrates to the very middle of the Christmas cake and definitely creates that extra "Yum!" factor on Christmas Day.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State's players felt like they were carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders entering last season's opener, and this year they're joking about things like who's the best-looking offensive lineman.
They're more relaxed, having more fun and are downright more excited to do what they came to Penn State to do, which is just play football.
"Last year was last year," coach Bill O'Brien said, "and this year is this year."
And they couldn't be more different.
The Nittany Lions were so fired up to play Ohio last year in the first game after the NCAA sanctions were announced that they couldn't actually pull off the task of playing well for an entire game. They ran out of gas in the second half, squandered a 14-3 lead and lost to the Bobcats, 24-14.
To a man, the players appear to be much more at ease this season now that they're back in their comfort zone of just talking and thinking about football rather than scandal-related issues.
The issues they're talking about this year include fun things, such as building on last season's success and the excitement of playing the opener in an NFL stadium.
"It's like a dream come true," safety Stephen Obeng-Agyapong, a Bronx native, said of playing at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and Jets.
Rather than fielding endless questions about which players might transfer and what they could do to keep the team together, the players don't have to be so serious at all times this year. Some fun give and take showed that Tuesday.
Right guard John Urschel, on a conference call, joked that he took exception with left guard Miles Dieffenbach calling himself the team's best-looking offensive lineman on the ESPN "Training Days" program. Dieffenbach, one of the team jokesters who hammed it up for the TV cameras, had a classic response to Urschel's objection later on.
"We're all a great-looking group of guys, but I would have to give myself the [edge] on that one," Dieffenbach said with a big smile. "You can't fight the looks, you know what I mean? I've just got them. It's natural, not much you can do about it."
It was natural for Penn State's players to suffer a letdown in the second half last year against Ohio because they expended so much energy during an emotional first half. The circumstances are very different this year, and O'Brien has taken steps during training camp to make sure the players remain fresh.
"I believe we've done a better job of that this year, I really do," the coach said. "We've done a number of things to help that," he added without getting into details.
Training details aside, the fact that this is just the first game of the season and not the historic first game after the sanctions should make a big difference for the PSU players.
"I believe it was a productive training camp," O'Brien said. "At the end of the day, the proof will be in the pudding how we play early in the season."
No QB update
O'Brien made it clear even before getting asked any questions Tuesday that he would not be naming a starting quarterback prior to the game.
"You'll find out who the quarterback is on the first play of the game against Syracuse," he said.
So, the public won't know until then. But does O'Brien already know if he's going with Christian Hackenberg or Tyler Ferguson? And does the team know?
Asked to clarify, O'Brien didn't.
"So, just to clarify, you'll find out who the starting quarterback is on the first offensive play on Saturday," he said once again.
Syracuse isn't naming its starting quarterback, either, and O'Brien doesn't want to tip his hand in doing so.
"I'm not trying to do it to bust anybody's chops," he said. "I want to do what's best for the football team right now, the 2013 football team, and I want to do what's best for the guys involved, and I want to do what's best for Penn State.
"What's best for Penn State right now is for you to find out [about the quarterback] when we take the field for the first snap of offensive football against Syracuse."
So, it's two teams, four quarterbacks and two coaches unwilling to provide any details.
"We don't really know what they're going to do, they don't really know what we're going to do," O'Brien said.
Injury update
Starting right offensive tackle Adam Gress (knee) and backup linebacker Ben Kline (shoulder) are "full participation" and good to go for Saturday, O'Brien said.
It's unclear if Gress or Garry Gilliam will start, and just like with the quarterbacks, that won't be known until game time.
News and notes
n The other starting spot up for grabs, at safety between Malcolm Willis and Ryan Keiser, also will be revealed Saturday.
"Both guys are really good players," O'Brien said. "Again, they'll both play for us."
n Freshman defensive back Neiko Robinson is no longer on the football team, although O'Brien wouldn't disclose exactly why.
"Neiko is not here," the coach said. "Basically, what I'm going to tell you on that is what happened there is between Neiko and myself.
"Neiko is a fantastic kid. It had nothing to do with discipline, nothing. This kid is a fantastic kid. It just didn't work out here at Penn State. He will end up somewhere, but he won't be at Penn State."

In 2010, Credit Suisse was attempting to leverage its global scale by integrating key business processes across geographies and business units. The IT unit, under Global CIO Karl Landert, assumed a pivotal role in enabling business integration. But the IT unit had developed distinctive cultures and capabilities reflecting two very different business units — private banking and investment banking — and different geographies. To help understand and develop the skills needed to support business integration, Credit Suisse's IT unit developed clearly defined job families and career paths for its 8,000 IT professionals and 4,000 contractors. This case examines the transformation of the IT unit as it implemented its job families and defined IT roles that would help Credit Suisse become a global financial services business.

Technical Service Bulletins
|Publication Date: September 20, 2010
Some 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of random typing on a mechanical typewriter. Customers may report that when near a building, wall or drive through window, that this noise can be heard from inside the cab.
Follow the Service Information to inform the customer of the characteristic.
The relationship between the oil film, crankshaft journals, bearing inserts and engine cylinder block produces a sound that is heard as a ticking noise. The overall noise reduction in engines produced today makes this noise seem new when, in fact, it was present in prior model year vehicles, but masked by other noises in the past. Because the 6.7L diesel engine includes a number of design improvements to reduce diesel engine noise, Typewriter Noise can be more noticeable than on previous products. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability. Other manufacturers of diesel engines have reported the presence of this condition for a number of years.
Build tolerance stack-up from engine to engine contributes to perceived differences in noise intensity. When engine temperatures reach 150 °F (65 °C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area.
Dealers should not attempt to compare any customer vehicles exhibiting this noise with other similar vehicles as the noise is different from vehicle to vehicle and this may lead to the incorrect conclusion that the vehicle has a condition. Typewriter Noise is a normal operating characteristic of this diesel engine. This noise has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
Refer to vehicle Owner Guides and Maintenance Guides for approved engine oil viscosities and usage information. Use of different oil viscosities will not eliminate this noise and is not recommended. Customers should be informed that these conditions do not affect engine durability and no repairs are necessary.

I have been rather specific about varieties of flowers and vegetables to grow in recent columns, so this one will back up a bit and be more general about just what to grow in the vegetable garden.
When I was a newlywed, my only source of vegetables was the grocery store, with forays to the farm markets in the summer. Then, my husband started to grow tomatoes to make his own spaghetti sauce, and that did it!
I dug a little patch of lawn to grow a few green beans with seeds brought from England and that went so well, I put in some peppers the next year. And I was hooked.
Green beans still are my favorites to grow. The seeds are big enough to sow them exactly where you want them to come up, and there are pole beans to grow up a string or a trellis, and bush beans that will prosper anywhere, even in a flower bed. My favorites are runner beans, but any kind you choose to plant will give you a great crop with plenty to eat and leftovers to freeze.
Corn sounded intimidating to me, but it proved to be easy and successful. Just be sure to plant in a block and not in a narrow row, to be sure fertilization happens properly. There are seeds everywhere, white, yellow or bi-color varieties according to your preference, and you also can grow decorative Indian corn or popcorn if you are feeling adventurous.
People are divided about growing potatoes. They do take a lot of space, but if you have children around, nothing is more fun in the garden than digging for treasure and coming up with the raw material that can be turned into French fries. And if you miss a few tubers, they will spend the winter happily resting in the ground and appear the next spring.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Throwing potato peelings on the compost pile will also guarantee some volunteer plants free for the digging. I have planted some fingerling potatoes in many shades this year, straight from the grocery store and cut into pieces with a sprouting eye in each section.
Don't ask me about broccoli. I rarely have success with it, even though I try every year because we eat a lot of it year-round. I have found the best way to guarantee a sufficient supply is to take out my billfold and go to the store.
If you want to start an early crop, try peas. You can plant the seeds as soon as the ground can be worked, which is now, then just give them a few twigs for support and let them grow. I find the regular peas too labor-intensive to shell, so I prefer to grow those with edible pods.
Peppers, eggplant and tomatoes are necessities in the garden. Either start the seeds inside, or buy the small plants after mid-May and watch them grow.
That leaves the leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and cabbage. I find them more attractive to bugs and diseases than those mentioned above, and they are cheap to buy.
And finally, what about root vegetables?
Carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips and such need good soil that has been prepared carefully, fertilized and dug and raked until it is a good, fine texture, and they are slow-growing. But if you are ready for the preparation, it is good to have them available through the summer and fall.
Those are the vegetables I would recommend for a basic garden. But who can stop at basic? Just think about the fun in store if you try asparagus, cardoons, celeriac, kohlrabi and the like.

Get Into Open Water
With lakes, lynns and lochs of all shapes and sizes in Great Britain, open water swimming scoffs at lane ropes and pool walls – it knows no boundaries.
If you're looking to step up and challenge yourself away from the pool then open water swimming is the perfect way to take your swimming in a new direction.
Stay safe. Download our advice for unprogrammed open water swimming here.While you must be competent, you don't have to be a superstar swimmer like Keri-anne Payne to take on open water – it's a fairly simple transition from the pool – and the more you do it, the better you'll be.
There are risks of course: swimming alone is not recommended, the temperature and choppiness of the water can be difficult to contend with and weather conditions can make things interesting.
But wearing a wetsuit helps insulate against the cold and keeps you buoyant and open water swimmers will tell you that this all adds to the fun!
Is it popular?
Yes! Open water swimming is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. You can enter a triathlon, go on a SwimTrek holiday, swim in a mass participation event, or take a challenge for charity like Kate Vines and Justine Drury did.
They swam the English Channel as part of the Big Splash. Play the video left and be inspired to get in the open water with them.
How can I learn more?
You can find out everything you need to know about going from the pool to open water in this section. We answer questions such as:
- How do I train for open water swimming in the pool?
- What do I need to know before swimming in open water?
- What equipment do I need for open water events?
- I want to compete – where do I sign up?
So get started and make a splash today in open water.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Longtime city educator Marian R. Hales, passed away unexpectedly at 3:20 a.m. Thursday, November 8, 2012 at UPMC Passavant in McCandless, PA. Marian, who had spent her lifetime in this area helping scores of young people learn and achieve greatness, was 85.
She was born in East Liverpool on June 19, 1927, a daughter of the late Wilbur and Lois R. Allison Pittenger. A 1945 graduate of East Liverpool High School, she later became involved in the ELHS Alumni Association and its Olde Guard.
Following high school, Marian was graduated Summa Cum Laude from Geneva College, and received her Master's degree from the University of Dayton. She later did post graduate work at The Ohio State University and had been an adjunct professor at Ohio State, Duquesne University and Edinboro State University at one time.
But perhaps she was most admired and well-known in her role as elementary school teacher, both at North Elementary and the former Taft School, where she taught legions of students the most basic and important life lessons. Following her many years of teaching first grade, she went on to teach Reading Recovery at East Liverpool, as well as schools in Canton and Lucas County, in addition to Ohio State, Duquesne and Edinboro. A Martha Holden Jennings Scholar, she held memberships in the National Education Association, the Ohio Education Association, the East Liverpool Education Association, the International Reading Association, and the Ohio Council of the International Reading Association, where she had been both past president and administrative secretary. Marian was also past president of both the Columbiana County International Reading Association and the Alpha Iota chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma educator society. In addition, she belonged to the Quota Club of East Liverpool and the Columbiana County Retired Teachers Association, where she had served as treasurer.
A lifelong member of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Marian had served as an Elder and had been president and treasurer of the church's Women's Association at Trinity, and had also belonged to the former Orchard Grove Methodist Church. A gifted musician, she had been the church organist for many years and belonged to the American Guild of Organists and the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. Marian never tired of learning, and also traveled extensively throughout her life.
Preceding her in death on February 6, 2009 was her husband, John B. "Jack" Hales, whom she married on November 28, 1947.
Surviving are a son and a daughter: John A. Hales of East Liverpool, and Rebecca Ann Motchenbaugh and her husband, Lawrence, of Aurora, CO. There are two grandchildren, Ryan M. (Anna) Lack of Dallas, TX, and Cory J. (Rachel) Lack of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A great-grandson, Devon Lack, also survives.
Marian was also preceded by her brother, James E. Pittenger.
Friends may visit at the Dawson Funeral Home on Monday, where the family will be present from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m.
Funeral services will be held at Trinity Presbyterian Church at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, with Rev. Dr. Stephen Cramer officiating. Burial will follow at Riverview Cemetery.

4 comes before 2 but after 8
Libraries can be an interesting place to find things. It's sometimes said that librarians think differently than other people. That of course isn't really true; our goal is to make things as easy to find as possible for as many people as possible. The end result however can be confusing. Why? Because librarians think differently than other people. The use of numbers in movie titles is a good example. Let's look at the movie "2012," (Two Thousand Twelve)
You might have noticed that in the above example I spelled out the title in parentheses. There is a reason for this. Libraries, unlike your home computer, place titles with numbers on the shelf as if they were spelled out. Why do we do this? We do it so that you only have to look one place for a title instead of two. Let's think it through for a moment. Let's say you or I had never heard of the film 2012 and your best friend tells you about this great movie he saw called "2012". Now you come to the library to see if we have it on shelf. Where do you look? If you were alphabetizing like your computer does, 2012 would be found before the letter "A", but "Two Thousand and Twelve" would be found in the T section. What the library has done is taken the guess work out of the equation. We shelve all numbers as if they were spelled out. This means that you know exactly where to look for the title with numbers because we spell out all numbers when we shelve them.
Shelving and numbers
This reminds me of something I've wondered for a while: How are books sorted by call numbers on shelves? For instance, is 123.4 sorted before or after 123.04 ? How about 123.4 versus 123.40 ? Thanks.
123.04 would come before
123.04 would come before 123.14. The easiest way to think about this is the same way you think about money. $1.04 is less money than $1.40. The .04 equaling one penny or 1/100th of a dollar, which .40 equals 40 pennies 40/100 of a dollar or 4/10 if you round it down. If you were counting: 1, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06, 1.07, 1.08, 1.09, 1.10, 1.11 ... and so on until you get to 1.99 where the next number would be 2. Does that help?

Thomas L. Jay, 42, of Schenck Street, had pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal contempt after being found in the bushes outside the woman's home May 18.
Murphy said he learned that Jay had been charged with other contempt counts involving the same woman in June and October.
Court-appointed defense attorney Patrick M. Balkin blamed what he called Jay's "stupid crimes" on the defendant's alcoholism.
