The death of conductor David Stahl on Sunday night came just as the symphony he worked so hard to build up was forced to cease operations because of its precarious financial situation.
Memorial service
A memorial service for David and Karen Stahl, sponsored by the city of Charleston, has been arranged for 11 a.m. Nov. 13 at the Dock Street Theatre, 135 Church St.The service is open to the public.David Stahl, music director of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, died at home Sunday, two months after being diagnosed with lymphoma. His wife, Karen Doss Stahl, died of cancer Sept. 21.City officials have secured a second space where any potential spillover crowd can watch the service projected on a screen. It will be at the French Protestant (Huguenot) Church, directly across the street from the Dock Street.David Stahl made his Charleston conducting debut at the historic theater in 1981.
The musicians and symphony management now are in talks to renegotiate their master agreement.
One effect of this sad confluence of events is that the symphony -- should it find its way to a recovery -- is left with no heir- apparent, no interim music director and no slate of candidates for the position.
Stahl announced in October 2009, not long after the onset of the current financial crisis, that he would step down as music director to become laureate conductor in a three-year process, during which the symphony would search for his replacement.
But then came the shutdown, so no search was initiated. And because a 2010-11 season was never organized, the symphony was in no position to invite guest conductors to rotate through on a concert-by- concert basis.
The result is added uncertainty to an already tenuous situation, observers say.
Ryan Leveille, a percussionist and spokesman for symphony musicians, noted that Stahl "always managed to be optimistic about the future, even if the last couple years have been such a struggle" financially and artistically.
"Going forward, from a purely logistical point of view, it of course means that there's an immediate need, and vacancy, for whatever kind of performance schedule awaits us in the future," Leveille said.
But recent budget cuts eliminated the assistant conductor position, and therefore the person who might have stepped in quickly, he said.
"A conductor search is supposed to be under way anyway, but now it's more urgent," he said.
Ted Legasey, president of the symphony board, said Stahl was "the face of the symphony for so many years" and that his loss would be greatly felt in the community.
But a transition plan had been devised last year which would have de-emphasized Stahl's role in the organization anyway, Legasey said.
"We're trying to position the organization to be much more sustainable financially and still deliver a top-quality product," he said of the immediate goal. "We have to stay strong in pursuing that end. We have to pause and grieve, but we have to stay strong in getting to that outcome."
Legasey said even as negotiations continue, the organization is contending with a labor complaint that's likely to require a Jan. 3 hearing before an administrative law judge. The National Labor Relations Board backed symphony musicians who argued that the shutdown was illegal, prompting the dispute regarding lost wages.
A proposed settlement of $250,000, submitted recently by the Labor Relations Board, was rejected by CSO management because "we don't have the money," Legasey said, adding that he hoped the two sides could find a way to let go of the past and focus on challenges ahead.
"The best tribute to David would be to go forward and solidify the future of this orchestra," he said.
Meanwhile, the arts community in Charleston mourns.
Violist Ruth Goldsmith joined the symphony in 1969, long before Stahl won the post of music director in 1984, and has played in recent years as an on-call freelancer.
She was among the musicians who gathered Saturday morning at Stahl's house in Hollywood to play music on the back porch.
"He was exciting on the podium," Goldsmith recalled. "He could get the emotion out of the music. And we would feel it on stage."
Sometimes he would drill passages until some of the musicians groaned in physical discomfort, but he always exuded a contagious enthusiasm, she said.
"When you get right down to it, he had something, he had that special gift," Goldsmith said.
Nigel Redden, general director of Spoleto Festival USA, said Stahl had become a good friend and musical ally.
"I felt that he was a partner in the kind of plans we both had for Charleston in terms of how the performing arts scene could be strengthened."
A couple years ago, Redden and Stahl went to see Mayor Joe Riley to discuss the possibility of renovating the Gaillard Municipal Auditorium. It was a project certain to benefit the symphony and Spoleto Festival, and the mayor agreed.
Stahl was determined to conduct the symphony in a beautiful new space with good acoustics and considered the Gaillard renovation the next logical step in bolstering the arts in Charleston.
Redden agreed and helped devise the plans that were made public by The Post and Courier in November 2009 and officially announced by the city in June.
"I'm so sorry he's not going to be there to see it happen," Redden said.
Stahl made his local debut in 1981 at the Spoleto Festival, conducting an opera trilogy by Stanley Hollingsworth.
"I liked the feeling I had," Stahl said in 2008 of his first visit to Charleston. "I saw the potential. This city was too important an American city to have only 17 days of a high level of quality in terms of the arts."
Two years later, he auditioned for the CSO. Ellen Dressler Moryl, director of the city's Office of Cultural Affairs, was on the search committee.
She said the choice was obvious. In a short time, Stahl had managed to draw out beautiful music from the orchestra, displaying impressive energy, optimism and charisma.
"People were absolutely knocked out," Moryl said. "I knew immediately that this was the one we needed to lead this orchestra into the future."
Violinist Yuriy Bekker credited Stahl with making him concertmaster for the first time. That position led to many solo performances and guest appearances.
Bekker, who is in the midst of a one-year engagement with the Orlando Symphony, said he hopes to return to Charleston. "If there is a season, I would love to come back."
Stahl, he said, was fighting until the end for the survival of the symphony.
"It's important for us, our symphony board and the musicians, to come to an agreement not only for our city, but also for David," Bekker said.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
The biotech industry entered the final two months of the year in good shape. Following a positive third quarter, the sector maintained its upward climb in October. The Burrill Biotech Select Index, a price-weighted index tracking 20 of biotech's blue-chip companies, is up 17.5% since the start of the year, in step with NASDAQ and well ahead of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
After a lackluster 2006, the Burrill Biotech Select Index is now on track to equal the stellar Amgen and Genentech led the charge. With their share values down 15% and 9% year-to-date, respectively, however, other firms such as Gilead Sciences (up 42% YTD) and Illumina (up 43%) have picked up the slack.
Barring some dramatic unforeseen changes, the strong performance of the industry in the public markets will continue until the end of the year principally driven by biotech's emerging and elite companies.
Save for a short lull during the summer months, the appetite for biotech IPOs has been robust throughout the year. The total amount raised from 2007 biotech IPOs up to October 31 was approximately $2 billion. This amount has eclipsed the $920 million raised in 2006. The average amount raised per IPO is also considerably higher: $76 million versus $50 million in 2006.
Biotech IPOs faired reasonably well since their debut and certainly benefited from the strong capital markets in the third quarter; 58% of them were trading above their issue price by the end of October.
The good news is that these recent biotech IPO graduates are not floundering once they get out of the gate as has been the case for other new public biotech companies over the past few years. Firms such as WuXi PharmaTech, whose stock has been on a tear since its IPO debut, and Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, which is up 60%, are providing investors with renewed confidence about new biotech issues.
WuXi is a China-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology R&D outsourcing company. The firm raised $212 million on the NYSE offering 15.1 million ADS including an over-allotment at $14 per ADS, a 16.6% premium to the midpoint of its proposed $11–$13 range. The company's shares closed the month of October at $36.40 up 160%.
The IPO runway is also crowded, and we will certainly reach our predicted 30 biotech IPOs completed by the end of 2007. Firms on the IPO runway include:
• Adnexus Therapeutics, focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing the proprietary drug class called Adnectins. Adnexus' first product candidate, Angiocept (CT-322), is in U.S. Phase I development in oncology.
• Akela Pharma, focused on therapeutics for treatment of cancer pain.
• Anacor Pharmaceuticals, developing small molecule therapeutics derived from boron chemistry.
• Archemix, discovering, developing, and commercializing aptamer therapeutics.
• ARYx Therapeutics, focused on discovering and developing product candidates designed to eliminate known safety issues associated with commercially successful drugs.
• Biolex Therapeutics, developing recombinant human therapeutic proteins and mAbs that until now have been impossible or expensive to develop in existing protein expression systems.
• Elixir Pharmaceuticals, developing treatments for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
• Insys Therapeutics, focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing products to address chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, pain management, and other CNS disorders.
• Precision Therapeutics, developing and commercializing tests intended to assist physicians in individualizing cancer therapy in an effort to improve treatment outcomes.
• Talecris Biotherapeutics, manufacturing plasma-derived protein therapies to treat both chronic and acute diseases and disorders. Talecris hopes to raise $1 billion from the offering, which if successful will make it the largest biotech IPO ever.
• XDx, a molecular diagnostics company engaged in the development of gene expression-based tests to monitor transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.
U.S. biotech companies collectively raised almost $17 billion in the first three quarters of 2007. They, however, found fundraising a little harder in this quarter compared to the first two. In fact, the $2.6 billion raised was one of the smallest total financing quarter amounts since the first quarter of 2003.
Offsetting the poor financing total was a stellar $7.6 billion raised through partnering. This total included four blockbuster deals that biotechs inked with big pharma, that, if fully realized, could potentially be worth $1 billion each.
The biotech industry is beginning to transition from one focused principally on treating sickness to one that is promoting wellness. The era of personalized medicine is upon us—one that emphasizes predictive and preventive medicine.
Diagnostics companies have been successfully riding this new paradigm. The Burrill Diagnostics Index, for example, is up 43% year-to-date. In addition, we are seeing companies focused in the personalized medicine space beginning to file for IPOs and test the appetite of investors for this new market opportunity.
Genoptix, a company providing specialized laboratory services to hematologists and oncologists, raised $85 million in October pricing its $5 million share offering at $17. This was above its proposed $14–$16 range. Investors liked the company's prospects, and in the first day of trading after its offering, the firm's share value jumped almost 50%.
As personal genome sequencing evolves, several groups are racing to find cheaper ways to map an individual's DNA. The nonprofit X Prize Foundation has offered a $10 million prize for the first team that can sequence the DNA of 100 people within 10 days.
Another pioneer in the field, George Church, Ph.D., professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, is working on a DNA test that would identify one percent of a person's genome for $1,000. Another one of his goals is his Personal Genome Project (www.arep.med.harvard.edu/PGP), which aims to integrate data for genomics, environment, and phenotype in more than 100,000 volunteers.
The eventual capability of sequencing the entire human genome for $1,000 continues to draw attention to pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine. Although the U.S. genomics market is still primarily driven by qRT-PCR technologies, DNA microarrays, and next-generation DNA sequencing, it is growing at a fast pace and is expected to double to reach $3.7 billion by 2012.
As drug companies move closer to a personalized medicine model, genomics firms have become attractive targets for deal- making and acquisition. M&A activity in the personalized arena has been high, so far this year, with five deals greater than $1 billion in value.
Innovation in molecular diagnostics and the promise of personalized medicine is driving values upward into the range of those for therapeutics. At the same time, smaller players are realizing the importance of gaining marketing/sales infrastructure and expertise via an established company.
The headline diagnostic transaction in both Q1 and Q2 was Inverness Medical Innovations' $1.48 billion purchase of BioSite after a protracted bidding war with Beckman Coulter. Biosite commercializes proteomics discoveries for the advancement of medical diagnosis. Its Triage® rapid diagnostic tests are used in more than 70% of U.S. hospitals and in more than 60 international markets.
Not to be outdone, Netherlands-based Qiagen acquired U.S. molecular diagnostics company Digene for $1.6 billion to combine its portfolio of sample and assay technologies and molecular diagnostic testing with Digene's expertise in HPV-targeted molecular diagnostic testing. Digene's HPV test product was both FDA approved and CE marked, a key driver of the acquisition. The two companies were already collaborating on a platform for the testing of sexually transmitted disease.
The biggest buyer was Roche Diagnostics, which purchased 454 Life Sciences in Q1 2007 for $154.9 million followed by BioVeris for $600 million and NimbleGen for $272.5 million in Q2 '07.
Another huge deal was the $6 billion merger in May of Hologic and Cytyc in a cash and stock transaction that created a $10 billion global leader in women's healthcare, a market that has traditionally been separated by diagnosis and therapy. The combined company is expected to gross $1.7 billion in sales each year and will bring together Hologic's oncology and osteoporosis screening products with Cytyc's ThinPrep test and endometrial ablation system for excessive menstrual bleeding.
The two other deals this year that exceeded $1 billion in value were Siemens' acquisition of Dade Behring for $7 billion, and Quest Diagnostics' takeover of Ameripath, a diagnostic testing company, for $2 billion.
Expect to see more activity as the personalized medicine paradigm heats up in the coming months.

Gov. Corbett, meet Joanne Davis.
With some savings, she's not poor enough for Medicaid. At age 53, she's not old enough for Medicare. Davis, working a part-time temp job for $8 an hour, falls in that perilous chasm in between.
"God forbid I get sick," she told me. "It will wipe out everything."
However, she does qualify for the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, in which the federal government would pay 100 percent for three years, then nothing less than 90 percent. She would receive coverage if she lived in neighboring New Jersey, New York, Ohio, or Maryland.

U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, and Republican Rob Portman, both of Ohio, are pushing the Commerce Department to maintain anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties on Chinese steel pipe imports.
Oil country tubular goods, used for domestic oil exploration, particularly in the shale industry and produced in Ohio by U.S. Steel in Lorain, V&M Star in Youngstown, Wheatland Tube in Warren and JMC Steel in Brookfield, could be the losers if Chinese steel dumping is permitted.
"The oil country tubular steel industry supports hundreds of good-paying Ohio jobs that are vulnerable to unfair trade practices carried out by the Chinese, including currency manipulation and duty evasion," Brown said Monday.
"Our workers can compete with anyone on a level playing field, and import duties help do exactly that. Maintaining import duties is critical to ensuring that the steel pipe industry in Ohio remains intact."
Portman backed that, saying thousands of American workers are at risk if the trade protections are watered down to allow cheap Chinese products to "skirt American customs regulations."
''American manufactured goods must be on a level playing field with their global competitors, and I urge the Department of Commerce to protect these workers in Northeast Ohio and across the country," Portman said.
The two senators were among 10 senators to sign a letter Monday sent to the Acting Secretary of Commerce.
They maintain efforts to evade or circumvent the the orders will enable Chinese companies to dump massive quantities of subsidized Chinese OCTG into the U.S. without paying the duties. ''Chinese actions will result in further injury to the thousands of American workers and businesses as well as the weakening of U.S. trade law,'' the letter states.
''It is important that the Department work closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to make sure that schemes to evade these orders are detected and prevented.''

Robin Williams may be going through a tough time – but at least he has a slew of famous friends to lean on for support.
Williams's wife of 19 years, Marsha Garces Williams, filed for divorce last week, citing irreconcilable differences.
Since the split, the comedian's License to Wed costar John Krasinski said they've talked "a bunch of times."
"He's been so supportive of me since the movie and still keeps in touch," the Office star told PEOPLE Monday night at the L.A. premiere of his new film, Leatherheads. "That just shows you what a classy guy he is, to keep tabs on people that he cares about."
So does Williams still have his signature sense of humor during these difficult times? "Absolutely!" said Krasinski. "Absolutely – if not better." –Scott Huver

In 2013, Didier Mutel will re-open the historical etching studio "the Atelier Georges Leblanc" originally founded in Paris, 1793, by M. Rémond. This lecture will address and attempt to answer questions such as: what meaning, what potential, what rationale does 18th-century engraving have in a 21st-century world? Beyond the formal contemplation of the Atelier's material treasures and artifacts, by what means can we understand the links between traditional techniques and today's world? Is it worth considering such questions? What relationship can be developed between printing tools from the 18th- and -19th centuries and today's cutting edge technologies? How can a positive relationship between these elements be generated to open our field to a wider audience? We are, right now, in a transition period with many challenging goals in front of us. By redefining new processes and new aesthetic paradigms, we will re-establish the heritage of the engraving studio for many more years, and many more creations.
Didier Mutel was born in 1971. He has always been actively involved in the arts, and especially enthusiastic about engraving. In 1986 he entered the École Estienne in Paris where he trained in the traditional methods and techniques of the book arts, including etching, engraving, calligraphy, and bookbinding. In 1988, he joined Pierre Lallier in the Atelier Leblanc, the oldest engraving studio in Paris, founded in 1793. In 1991 he began producing and exhibiting his first artist book: Oiseaux. Since then, about 50 artist books have appeared from his press. His work always explores the links between traditional techniques and contemporary applications. In 2008 the Atelier Leblanc was evicted from their longtime home and Pierre Lallier transferred the historical studio to Didier Mutel, which he will reopen in fall 2013.

Buying a designer bag is a big deal. You save up your hard earned money in order to buy one so you want to make sure you get the right one.
As some of you may already know I used to work for Mulberry. During my time there I gained lots of knowledge about designer bag and how they are made (I even got to go to the factory in Somerset to see them being made in person). During my time with the company purchased two bags and even with my discount it was still a huge decision for me and it took me ages to decide which one I wanted.
So I thought I would share with you my guide to buying a designer bag.
- Designer bags are not cheap so you need to be sure that you really want one and are willing to invest your hard earned money in a quality bag.
- Once you have decided to take the plunge you should think about what you want from your bag. Firstly ask yourself what you want the bag for. For work, a wedding, an everyday bag, an evening bag? You also have to take in to consideration your lifestyle. For example we used to get a lot of mum's with young kids coming in. We would show them cross body bags or ones with longer straps so they could still have their hands free.
- Once you have figured our the answer to these questions you can start looking at the features of different bags which will match what your looking for. Do you want one with lots of inside compartments? Do you want one with a zip for extra security? Do you want one with a detachable strap? Do you want the bag to be lined or are you ok with it being unlined?
- When deciding on what colour to get think practically. That hot pink bag may look amazing but will it go with the rest of your wardrobe? I love the brightly coloured bag but knew I wouldn't get my wear out of them so settle on a black one and a tan one. That being said if you absolutely love a brightly coloured bag and think you will be able to get a lot of wear out of it then go for it. You are better getting a bag you love rather than settling for something practical but boring.
- Also look at the colour of the hardware (zips, buckles, clips etc) If the bag has gold hardware but you aren't really a gold person then you might want to think twice. Do you like bags with the designer logo all over it or do you prefer a more discrete looks.
- Think about the material of the bag. The basis for most designer bags in leather however there an many other types of materials on offer.
- Leather- hard wearing and quite practical
- Pebbled Leather- softer and more pliable
- Patent- shiny and tends to be hard wearing
- Lambs skin- super soft and delicate and easily stained or marked
- Spazzalato- smooth leather but not as shiny as patent
- Snakeskin- very delicate and high maintenance
- Pony Skin- leather with the hair left on, needs looked after
- Ostrich- ostrich skin with visible hair follicles
That is just a brief run through of some different leathers. So if you are someone who chucks their bag about then a more hard wearing leather might be better. Also look at the grain of the leather. The same style bag can vary greatly from bag to bag, some are smoother where as other can be heavily grained. It really comes down to personal preference so ask to see a few of the same bag.
- Try the bag on in the shop to get a feel for it. Even ask to put some of your things in the bag to make sure there is enough space etc.
- Take your time in deciding. Don't feel bad for asking to seem lots of different styles or spending a while in the shop. The sales assistants are there to help you. Ask them plenty of questions but never feel pressured to buy from them. You can always go away and think about it for a while.
- Find out how to care for the bag. When purchasing a designer bag you should be given care instructions. There are also several products which can be used on them to help protect them. An essential for me was a water protector spray to stop the leather getting water marks.
- Take care of your bag you did pay a lot for it after all but don't be scared to use it, get your use out of it. Finally enjoy using it!
So there you have few tips and things to think about when purchasing a designer bag.
For me I chose a classic style in two classic colour and I am glad that I did because I use them on a daily basis, the black for work mostly and the tan for more casual days. I know that the style will not go out of fashion any time soon either which is great. I have had my bags for over 2 years now and they still look great whereas I would have probably gone through several high street bags by now.

Despite the human race's extraordinary capacity for invention and progress, author David Kupelian says society has an age-old blind spot -- we don't understand the nature of evil and how it works -- and he partially blames the church.
In his new book, How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces that are Transforming America, Kupelian explains this concept.
He spoke with CBN News about what it takes to truly understand the good and bad of the world and what Christians must do to ensure our moral foundations remain in place.
"When we say 'evil' we think crime and genocide and horrible mega crimes. [Evil] is not just that," Kupelian said. "It's the little building blocks -- the lies, the seductions, the intimidations, the wrong relationships we have -- that build into great evil and we really desperately need to understand that."

Bitter Trumpetby Fred Grove
A SURVIVOR Jesse Wilder survived the horrors of Shiloh. He survived the hell of a Yankee prison camp and the shame of volunteering for the Union Army of the West-the only way to escape certain death in the camp. But when the war ended and he came home to Tennessee, word of his "treachery" preceded him, and Jesse found himself shunned by his neighbors and disinherited by his father. And so, like many survivors of the Confederacy, Jesse drifted west. In El Paso his drifting stopped. There he met Cullen Floyd, who ran weapons across the border to the Juaristas in Mexico. Cullen needed another gun against the marauding Apaches and the murderous banditos. Jesse needed a job. Before he knew it, Jesse was caught up in another desperate struggle, this time against the trained mercenaries of the Emperor Maximilian. But Jesse might have pushed his luck too far-this was one battle he might not survive.
Destiny Valleyby Fred Grove
The humble little cabin in the great Gila Wilderness of New Mexico Territory is more than a home to Evan Shelby. It's his last chance for life. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis and his condition was considered hopeless until he moved out here. It's been six months now since he showed any symptoms, and he's come to love the land and people in this little ranching community. But he's not the only one who loves the land. A major Texas cow outfit just opened a land office, and they plan to start a huge cattle ranch. They're not offering much money for folks' land, but they have plenty of hardcases to help convince people to sell. His friends have asked Evan to help, but as the invaders clash with the locals and tensions keep mounting, Evan may have the toughest battle of his life in front of him.
Man On A Red Horseby Fred Grove
Jesse Wilder was a man who had seen more than his share of violence. A former captain in the Army of Tennessee, he was inducted into the Union army as a "galvanized Yankee" after the battle of Shiloh. After the war he headed to Mexico to fight with the Juaristas against Emperor Maximilian. That cost him the life of his wife and his unborn child. All he wanted then was peace. But instead he was offered a position as a scout on a highly secret mission into Mexico, where bandits were holding the Sonora governor's daughter for ransom. The rescue attempt was virtually a suicide mission; the small group was vastly outnumbered and was made up of men serving time in the garrison jail. Jesse had every reason to walk away from the offerbut he couldn't. Not when one of his wife's murderers was second in command to the Sonoran bandits chief.

Certainly few writers can match him when it comes to Western excitement and sheer storytelling ability. Western Writers of America recognized this when they awarded Grove a total of five Spur Awards, two of which were for stories collected in this landmark volume. But "Comanche Woman" and "When the Caballos Came" are only the most story is a slice of Western history, peopled with characters that live and breathe. Allow yourself to be transported back to the Old West at the hands of a master wordsmith and brilliant storyteller.

Another dry, shallow lake
Re: "State agency OKs building of Lake Ralph Hall — Permit for water supply reservoir is state's first in almost 30 years," Wednesday news story.
There is no need to flood more land and build new lakes, just make the ones we have more efficient. A thin layer of water dries very fast, whereas a thick layer of water takes much longer.
Look at all the lakes that are drying up — the dry lake beds are almost flat. Now would be a good time to bulldoze them several feet deeper so that if they should ever fill up in the future they will hold many more gallons of water at much deeper levels and thus be much less prone to evaporating as fast.
While that will be an expensive proposition, it is quicker and cheaper than clearing land, building additional dams, and filling up new lakes.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel's right wing got a boost Wednesday when Jerusalem Magistrate Court justices fully acquitted former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman of fraud charges.
Lieberman has long maintained that the Palestinian Authority government led by Mahmoud Abbas is "illegitimate" and there is no chance of reaching an agreement with them.
Ironically, the news came just as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived for peace talks.
Lieberman, an outspoken hardliner, has often ruffled feathers in diplomatic circles. But among more right-leaning Israelis, his hard-hitting, straightforward statements have earned him a great deal of respect.
In all likelihood, he will be resuming Israel's top diplomatic post following Wednesday's acquittal.
"I don't want to dwell on this issue anymore," Lieberman told reporters as he left the court Wednesday morning. "I want to put this chapter behind me and focus on new challenges."
In the days preceding Wednesday's verdict, Lieberman said he received tremendous support from people who all along believed in his innocence. He thanked them all.
Shortly after the verdict was announced, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called to welcome him back to the government.
"I congratulate you on your unanimous acquittal and am pleased that you are returning to the government," Netanyahu told his former foreign minister. "We will continue to work together for the good of Israel." During his 11-month absence, Netanyahu did not appoint a replacement for him, choosing instead to serve as acting foreign minister.
Lieberman received similar support from numbers of cabinet ministers, among them Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Economics and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett and even Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, though they are often on opposing sides.
Not unexpectedly, left-wing parties in the opposition were not happy with the court's decision. Labor chairwoman and opposition leader Shelly Yachimovich, who had acused Lieberman of damaging the "public's trust in its elected officials and in democracy," called on the state attorney general to appeal the verdict.
Last December, MK Zehava Gal-On, who heads the ultra-leftwing Meretz party, petitioned the Supreme Court to order Netanyahu to fire him.
It's been a long pull for Lieberman, hounded for years by the attorney general's office. Though most of the charges were dropped for lack of evidence, AG Yehuda Weinstein issued an indictment last December on alleged fraud and breach of trust.
At the time, Lieberman asked the Knesset to lift his parliamentary immunity so he could confront the accusations without further delay. He also decided to step down as the nation's top diplomat to clear his name once and for all, promising to return if acquitted or leave the government if convicted.
"I know that I have done nothing wrong, but out of desire to put this matter behind me…I have decided to step down as foreign minister and deputy prime minister," Lieberman said at the time.
Now he's free to resume his duties at a time when the U.S. is reportedly getting ready to pressure Israel into what some consider to be concessions, such as returning to the indefensible pre-1967 armistice lines and re-dividing Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that Tuesday night's meeting between Israeli and Palestinian Authority negotiating teams ended in a shouting match, with the P.A. announcing that talks had collapsed, something they've been intimating all along.

CLAUDIA DiSOMMA, SPARTA
Junior, 5-7
JUST THE FACTS: Despite her All-State credentials in track and field, DiSomma has surprised herself in her debut season of cross-country after leaving the varsity soccer team. Last week DiSomma won her second straight individual championship this season with a course-record 17:34.0 in the third Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Championship at the Sussex County Fairgrounds' 3.0-mile course in Augusta. DiSomma broke the course record of 17:53 that Voorhees All-Stater Colette Whitney set in 2009. Prior to the H/W/S meet, DiSomma won the Varsity C race in 19:05 at the Shore Coaches Invitational on Oct. 1 at Holmdel Park. DiSomma's time was the ninth fastest of 843 runners at the state's championship course. DiSomma also placed fifth at the season-opening Randolph Invitational (19:04.9) and second in the Passaic County Coaches Invitational (18:50.0).
REACTION: "Going into different races and winning some of them and coming in second, it's a whole new experience for me. Coming in here with all the mileage that's expected, it's a whole new atmosphere. I didn't really know what to expect from any of this. In soccer you don't run much at all, and in track I run mid-distance, so I never expected to do so well at these distances.''
BIGGEST CONCERN LEAVING SOCCER: "I was afraid I was going to get tired of running,'' said DiSomma, who won an NJSIAA Meet of Champions title in the 1,600 meters and owns the No. 5 time in state history (4:45.57). "I had no idea what to expect or what I could achieve. I wasn't looking for any titles and I had no idea what time I was going to run. I love running, and cross-country made me love running even more. How it turned out, I know I made the right decision.''
NEXT: The Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference Championships today at Greystone Park in Parsippany.
GOALS: "I want to break my PR (19:05) at Holmdel (at the state Group 3 meet Nov. 12). It's a great course to run under 19. Maybe I can get into the 18:30s. I definitely want to win sectionals and see how I do at Groups and the Meet of Champions.''
BEST CHARACTERISTIC: "My competitiveness. I absolutely hate losing.''
WORST CHARACTERISTIC: "I try not to but I get very nervous before races. I may put too much pressure on myself at times.''
FAVORITE CLASS: Honors Pre-Calculus with Andrew Bayliss.
FAVORITE MEAL: Homemade tacos made by her mother, Christine DiSomma.
RACE-DAY EATS: "Oranges and pretzels. Sometimes I'll eat a few pretzels right before the gun.''
BEST ATHLETIC ACCOMPLISHMENT: "Winning the Meet of Champions as a freshman and running 4:45. Those are two of my top achievements. Breaking 4:50 was bizarre because I never expected something like that to happen.''
CELEBRITY ON A DESERTED ISLAND: "Leonardo DiCaprio."
DINNER FOR FOUR: "My dinner would include Steve Prefontaine because it would be great to ask him about how he accomplished all his records; Mia Hamm because she's been my soccer role model for as long as I can remember; and Will Ferrell because he's so funny. I would be nice to have some comic relief.''

The police department no longer has to wait up to a week to see if a person they finger printed is wanted.
The department unveiled a new machine Tuesday that allows them to fingerprint someone electronically and send the results via computer to the state Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation. Within 15 minutes they will receive a response, said police Chief Richard Tisone.
The department received the machine last week after it was awarded an $11,000 grant through the Warren Police Department, Tisone said.
Article Photos
Liberty police Chief Robert Tisone, left, shows off the department's new fingerprinting machine at the station while Detective Sgt. Robert Greaf looks on. Greaf is training the other officers in the department to use the machine.
Gone are the days when the officers performing the fingerprinting have to use cards and ink, Tisone said.
The machine can be used by officers on the beat when booking suspects at the station they just apprehended, Tisone said. Also, the department can also use the machine in the future to perform their own background checks on residents who need one for their job.
Tisone said that would be a way for the department to raise some revenue and also be more convenient for residents, who don't have to leave the township to go to the Mahoning or Trumbull county sheriff offices, both of whom do fingerprinting for background checks.
The machine also saves the department on supplies for doing fingerprints the manual way, Tisone said.
Detective Sgt. Bob Greaf was trained to use the machine and he can train the department's other officers, Tisone said. Greaf said it is easy to use.
''It's dummy proof,'' Greaf said.
The machine also guarantees an accurate fingerprint. Tisone said with ink and cards, sometimes some of the points on a print can be missed.
But with the electronic machine, an accurate print is ensured every time. The machine will not record a print until the area being printed is recorded accurately.
''It allows the prints to be 100 percent accurate,'' Tisone said.
The machine will also allow officers to know who they are dealing with when they are booking in a suspect.
''It's a safety issue for the officers,'' Tisone said.

I picked one up from Gander a couple of months ago. Shoots good, and was in decent shape. It has a little finish wear on the frame, but all the steel parts are a nice park. Came with two mags, a cleaning kit, and a holster. Mine was $299.
Get them to bring you a few from out of the back to pick through. Like the P6's, they do vary a bit from gun to gun. I've been fighting the urge of going by there this week for another myself. I'm not real good at fighting urges. :)
March 4, 2008, 07:31 AM
Like the surplus German P-5, P-6, P-7 pistols, the P-1 pistols are a great value for someone who doesn't need a polymer frame, 17 shot, wunderpistolen.
March 4, 2008, 08:00 AM
Make sure ot get the one with the hex pin above the trigger(last longer) and fat slide(slide serrations in front of the decocker.)
www.dansammo.com has MINT unissued all matching P1s for less than $350 bucks that are NOT arsenal refurbs like the ones at Gander MT likely are. While being a refurb isn't always a bad thing, with an unissued non refurb you at least know it hasn't been shot much..mine look like brand new guns. I ende dup sellingone to a buddy though..not sure why I bought two lol.
You can tell if it is a Refurb if you see marks with a lot of Ws in them..like W11/80 means it was refurbed in 1980..etc The only W should be a BW to indicate German Military. You will hoeever see a date on the slide usually, this does not mean a refurb, they date their slides for some reason.
The P1s if they have the Hex in the frame and the fat slides make great shooters, stay away from the +P though. The older steel framed P38s while having a stringer frame tend to crack slides eventually, so I actually prefer a P1 for a shooter.
www.p38forum.com is an excellent resource.
March 4, 2008, 02:07 PM
Omega WS also has P1's = 250$
1200 meters
March 4, 2008, 02:58 PM
What ever you do dont shoot +P ammo in the P-1. I had one an shot some sub-machine gun ammo in it and split the frame. It is the same ammo we fired I our P-5s, so I'm not sure why it broke. Blitz, Just a Thought.
March 4, 2008, 03:34 PM
I got one before Gander Mountain was offering, and I got a like new 1965 vintage P1.
It does not have the frame crosspin, and has the old P38 skinny sights.
The current prices are the best I have seen, before these "BW" were on the market you would pay at least $750 for a P1.
The P1 is a lot lighter to carry than a P38 due to the weight reduction from going to a steel frame to an aluminum frame. I like the fact that the barrel is chromed lined. The barrel at least ought to last forever.
Both the P38 and P1 have identical safeties and magazine releases. The grip is designed for a one hand hold. This pistol was state of the art in 1938, but now those features make it a dated design.
You do not disassemble this pistol to the level that you can disassemble a M1911. I do not want to take the firing pin out, or any of the frame pieces. Basically you take the slide off, the barrel off, and wipe everything off. This pistol has too many bits and pieces to take down further. However, this seems to be true of most modern semi auto pistols. I guess you just soak the frame and the slide in a cleaner at some point.
As far as shooting, well this is a service pistol. Everyone that I have handled had significant creep in the final pull. Double action is stiff. All of them went bang and no one is reporting malfunctions. I had to bash the front sight laterally, and then file it to get the pistol to shoot to point of aim, but once zero'd this pistol will shoot within four inches at 25 yards. At most everything is within six inches. I shoot offhand, I can do better with my revolvers. But four inches is plenty fine for most service pistols.
I can recall that back in the 80's, Colt told me that if a Gold Cup shot within 3 inches at 25 yards, it was within factory specifications.
I have been told that combat situations with handguns occur within spitting distance, so 25 yards with a handgun is really only of concern for target shooters. Or me, because that is as close as I get to my gong targets.
I am experiencing frame peening. There is metal deformation going on at those white spots on the frame. I am not loading hot loads, I have checked the velocity of my reloads and it is at least 100-150 fps less than factory. I have been able to look at three other P-1's, and they all show some of the same frame peening that I have. It is my estimate that the locking lugs are deforming the top of the rails at unlock.
I asked folks if anyone else had been experiencing this, and whether it had caused long term problems, and what I was told that my loads were too hot. :confused:
I suspect that this peening is something that will get worse, so maybe I will cut my loads down to 950-1000 fps with a 125 Lead, and use Bullseye, a fast quick powder.
I do believe that hot loads are inappropriate in this pistol, and I am curious to see how many ammo cans of 9mm I can shoot through this pistol before the frame cracks.
It will you know. All aluminum frames will crack in time. Alumimum does not have an indefinite fatigue life. The M92 Beretta's service life has been estimated around 35,000 rounds.
March 4, 2008, 06:59 PM
Yeah that is what I warning him about, that is an unpinned thin slide model. For 299 you can add the latest updated style to your collection. The only alarming peening I see in your pic is exactly where the hex bolt would be to prevent it.
March 4, 2008, 08:15 PM
Got any pics of the hex bolt/thick slide?
March 4, 2008, 08:51 PM
Here is a pic of the one I got for $299, came with a leather holster and a cleaning kit as well. Pic does not really do it justice, it literally looks like a brand new gun, removing the slide shows zero evidence of ever being shot, barrel looked brand new as well. I have in red marked the updates you want to see, slide serrations continuing in front of the decocker and the hex pin.
March 4, 2008, 08:57 PM
Thanks. I have to wait until Sunday so we'll see.
March 4, 2008, 09:46 PM
I figured I would post a pic of mine to help illustrate the differences.

You know a distributor that I don't know?
The pin is real hard to see in your photo.
March 4, 2008, 10:14 PM
His isn't pinned, it does have the thick slide though, although the number on the slide seems to be a mismatch to the frame, unless it was added later on as a refurb.
March 5, 2008, 02:21 AM
It's a good pistol for 9mm.
March 5, 2008, 03:17 PM
Smooth, smooth, smooth action. Wonderful pistol. $299 is a bit steep but the gun is more than worth it. As others mentioned, its not a polymer frame, 17 round hicap pistol but the action is more than worth it. Possibly the smoothest firing pistol I've ever shot and I've shot a lot! I bought mine from AIM surplus a couple of years ago for $239, came in excellent condition. I'd heartily recommend it for anyone wanting to fire a quality pistol.

Xavierbreath-the link you show don't include the P1, or is the P38 the same?
March 5, 2008, 05:24 PM
I've got one on hold that I'm looking at tomorrow.
March 5, 2008, 06:55 PM
My P1 was made by Manurhin in the mid to late '50's. An interesting side note about this particular P1 is that it was formerly used by the West Berlin police force, who purchased the pistols from France because they were not allowed to buy any German made weapons at the time. This one's a great shooter, and I frequently take it with me to the range when I just want to have some fun plinking away at pop cans and plastic bottles.

Gun Parts Corporation HAD them, in checkered walnut, or military style grooves.
They show out of stock right now, but you might contact them and ask to be sure.

I have a P-1 that the frame is split on,and can't of course fix it. My question to all is "does any one know if a functional used frame can be purchased? Blitz
March 6, 2008, 04:37 PM
I called Gander Mountain last night, verified that it had the hex bolt and serrations in front of the safety and put it on hold.
I went there today to get it and it was a beat up, early style, no hex bolt, beat up crown P38. This thing was severely worn and the slide was loose when locked.
I was so T'd off that I went to my gun range, ran into a nice Yugo SKS and brought it home instead.
March 6, 2008, 04:47 PM
I have a couple vintage P1s in my modest collection, including a vintage Maunhrin P1.
But, whenever I feel the need to carry an Alt Deutche Politzipistole, I carry my P5. ;)
March 6, 2008, 10:23 PM
If you are interested in picking up a P1 -- and you should be; they are superb firearms, exhibiting quality craftsmanship that you don't often see anymore -- the best deals around can be found at Dan's Ammo. Here's a link:
Dan is knowledgable, friendly, helpful ... and the guns that he is selling are advertised as being in "minty" condition, which is a fact. I've picked up two P1s from him and might well get a third. After all, you can never be too rich, nor too thin, nor have too many Walthers.
March 6, 2008, 11:13 PM
Searcher, thanks for also posting his link, I posted a pic above of the one I got from him. For <$300 you can't beat them considering they are unissued, people pay $250 for unmatching refurbs that don't have the hex bolts and thick slides and then say that the extra $50 bucks makes their prices steep..I obviously disagree.
March 6, 2008, 11:29 PM
here is one with the hex pin
March 7, 2008, 09:07 AM
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but don't some of the alloy framed P1s say "P38" on the slide? Seems like I've heard that before.
March 7, 2008, 11:32 AM
You are correct, everything I read says that P1 is simply the military designation for the P38, sort of like how M9 is ours for the 92FS.
So yes, there are P38 marked guns with alloy recievers. He has a few of those for sale too, although I think without the hex pins.
I still can't stress enough how good a deal you can get at DansAmmo, $300 bucks for essentially brand new non refurb guns with all of the updates to make them good shooters. They even come with a new leather holster and cleaning kit and two mags.
March 7, 2008, 01:05 PM
Wicked, I wrote an e-mail to Dans and never got a reply. About a week has passed. I take that as a bad sign. Yes, I can call, but if a company offer e-mail as a mean for communication, they should respond.
Have you had good luck with Dans and been pleased with their service and honesty?
March 7, 2008, 02:02 PM
I just picked up a P38 marked P1 from Gander mountain this morning for $279. Other than some storage marks, it looks to be new. It is one of the early guns without the hex pin.
I looked at three of them and they were in varying shape and type. All were pretty good, but this is the nicest I've seen, with no wear at all on the frame.
March 7, 2008, 02:25 PM
I bought two of them from Dans, try calling him directly, he has an excellent reputation on www.p38forum.com Even though it's email, there is still a reason they call it "mail".
March 23, 2008, 01:26 AM
I just got me a very nice holster for my P-38 and an extra mag for it. In looking over my gun, made in 1943, I just marvel at how advanced it is, considering the era in which it was manufactured. "Polymer" grips, DA/SA, decocker safety, loaded chamber indicator and last shot hold open feature. About the only thing separating it from modern semiautomatic pistols in features is a high capacity magazine and a magazine disconnect safety. Not bad for a 70 year old design!!
March 23, 2008, 10:01 AM
I think that Dan's email might be off; I've sent him a couple of notes during the past week as well without reply. However, I would not take that as a bad sign in any way. There's no question in my mind that Dan is offering the best P1 value on the planet at present. Call him and tell him what you want. He'll hand-select one that will arrive exactly as advertised. If you want it as a shooter, tell him that you want the reinforced hex pin. He'll deliver.
724-727-2648 is the phone.
724-272-2649 is the fax.
March 23, 2008, 10:50 AM
I have 2, re-arsenaled, early 80s. Neither have the hex bolt but the extended style slide serrations shoot. They shoot very well with WWB target loads and 125 gr hollow points. With my particular grip and sight picture, mine printed a tad low but they were easy to fix. My only gripe is the guns seem bulky to me. They're desk drawer/nightstand guns IMHO, although I'd carry one in a pinch.
March 24, 2008, 03:11 PM
In follow-up to my ealier post, I kept calling and finally got ahold of someone. They were very nice and I have since recieved a new (30 year old) P1 that has never been shot. I am very happy and I will purchase from Dan's again if given the opportunity. They did what they said and the product was just as they said it would be and it shipped promptly.
Regarding my P1, I like it and it is very tight and appears well made. It is not a $800 finish job but nice none the less.
The only think I don't care for is the quality of the original grips. They are new, but they are plastic. I may leave them on, but I would prefer a nice heavy wood. I could not find any wood grips in stock, but perhaps with all these P1's hitting the market, some more will get made. Of course, since this is suppose to be a historical gun and not the latest greatest, maybe I should leave on the original grips. Hmmm.
March 24, 2008, 03:27 PM
Not surprised that you had a good experience with Dan's. His stock is impressive, and he's a good man to deal with.
Some aftermarket wood grips are available, but you have to act quick when they show up (lots of folks are constantly on the hunt for them) and be willing to pay for them. Nill grips are available, of course, and are beautiful -- works of art, in fact. But they are pricey. Replacement grips are $142.80 plus shipping; target grips with a thumbrest are $164.40. Here's a link:
You might want to check eBay, or place a WTB notice on the P38 Forum. Tom Heller, who goes by the name Lugerdoc, has some from time time, and you can find him there.
For those looking for a P1 and aren't sure of how to ensure a good deal, or even whether you are getting a good gun, you might want to visit the P38 Forum. Here's a link to the sticky notice under the Post-Way P38 threads that provides excellent advice on what to look for, what to avoid, etc.:
May 16, 2008, 03:44 PM
Thanks for posting the link. They have prices on the web of $299.00...I assume for a regular "shooter" grade. Did you purchase the "Minty" Collector condition Walthers? If so, what do they run? I tried to call them as requested for a quote, but mailbox is full.

June 2, 2008, 05:33 PM
It surprises me to hear you can't use +P with the P-38. I thought the standard load for the 9mm used in WW2 and then by NATO, was the same as "civilian" +P anyway.
June 2, 2008, 11:53 PM
Blackbeard: I bought two P1s from Dan about six months ago -- a "minty" version which is just about perfect and far too nice to shoot, and a shooter (no holster but with a second magazine and the reinforced hex pin). That one cost around $260 and is a great gun ... a lot of fun on the range, highly accurate, wonderfully reliable. The "minty" example was $299, worth every cent, and is in the safe. I also just ordered up a post-war P38 that Dan secured after scouting around for one for the past four months or so. Can't wait to see it: it's described as LNIB and even comes with the original box. If you like your post-war Walthers, Dan is the man.
September 3, 2008, 03:38 PM
I just spent some time talking to the American Distributor for all Walther pistols, rifles, etc. http://www.carlwalther.com/
He told me that the recent "BW" stamped import P1's are "Army Training" pistols.
So I asked what that meant.
He said these pistols were to be used in weapon familiarization, very limited firing to zero firing. As I understood, the frames are made from different materials from regular P1s. He said something about not heat treated, but I dont understand how you heat treat aluminum.
The shop frequently receives BW P1s with busted frames. Apparently these frames were not meant to withstand extensive firing.
This would be consistent with the frame peening I experienced, and every "BW" P1 I have examined.
I will shoot mine until the frame breaks, and sell the parts. Barrels are apparently hard to find, so I know that has value.
I am surprised the Germans would spend all this money building expensive training pistols that they did not expect to last long.
But, have you heard of the $600.00 US defense department wingnut?
September 3, 2008, 06:11 PM
Be wary of what you hear from that source, SlamFire. Just check out the price of his guns and match them against anything you'll find on the rest of the market, and you'll quickly see what I mean.
Again, take a browse through the P.38 Forum and read the sticky notice on how to buy a P1 or a post-war P.38 (you can find it under the P.38/Post-War section). You'll get a good primer on everything you need to know; if you spend a little time there, you'll also find out that the BW-stamped P1s were regular German Army issue guns -- that is an Army acceptance stamp and in no way is an indication of a training gun.
If you shoot Winchester white box 115-grain 9mm ammo through the P1 and steer clear of the hotter loads, you'll have years and years of trouble-free enjoyment.

You may have a point there.
I saw this URL on THR and went to it. The pistol package looks exactly how my P1 was packaged. I ran the German words through Babble fish. It is about 85% comprehensible. If this pistol is like the ones that came in, (and I think it is), there is nothing in this German ad about training pistol, or not a training pistol.
Original German Federal Armed Forces pistol: Rule ago P1 Kal. 9 mm Condition: unused pistol welded for the case of defense Bombardment: valid military bombardment of the German Federal Armed Forces (is enough for green WBK) Scope of supply: 1 new and welded P1 execution German Federal Armed Forces 1 new and welded magazine for the P1 To the weapon number-same first shot disk With these weapons it concerns rule ago the last production batches that P1, which was manufactured for the German Federal Armed Forces. These pistols were welded against Ender of the 70iger/in the middle of the 80iger years for one case of defense by the German Federal Armed Forces and - except for the bombardment of the weapon - yet were not shot. Subsequently, the weapons were cleaned properly and greased again. The runs are absolute mirror bright. The surface is phosphatized, as it was usual with the German Federal Armed Forces. The weapons do not exhibit a scratch. It might concern definitely one of the last possibilities here of acquiring a piece of German history. These weapons are likewise for the collecting tank, as also for the hunter us sport contactors interesting, particularly since a weapon is offered here for an unusual price. Original German Federal Armed Forces accessories (bag, additional magazine, finery things) are possible on request. With the weapon illustrated here it concerns a specimen. All weapons, which come to the Auslierferung, are definitely original welded and contain the same accessories.
September 3, 2008, 08:50 PM
SlamFire: If you want to have some fun, check out the Walther Forums and search for any and all discussions regarding the business/gentleman in question. You will either be shocked or will laugh out loud -- or both -- at some of the statements that have been attributed to him. I think he's well-meaning, and he definitely serves a needed niche for Walther owners in the U.S., but IMO you often have to take his comments with a bucketload of salt.
January 5, 2009, 08:48 PM
I can't see why they would bother to install the hex pin if the frame was for a training pistol only..seems like that is just a weird rumour.
January 5, 2009, 10:25 PM
I have a couple of them.
I don't carry them because I DO need the13 round Ostereich wonderpistole!!! ;)
January 5, 2009, 11:33 PM
I keep getting tempted by those Walthers.

The Imperialistby Sara Jeannette Duncan Janette Turner Hospital
Sara Jeannette Duncan's classic portrait of a turn-of-the-century Ontario town, The Imperialist captures the spirit of an emergent nation through the example of two young dreamers. Impassioned by "the Imperialist idea," Lorne Murchison rests his bid for office on his vision of a rejuvenated British Empire. His sister Advena betrays a kindred attraction to the high-flown ideals in her love for an unworldly, and unavailable, young minister. Nimbly alternating between politics and romance, Duncan constructs a superbly ironic object-lesson in the Canadian virtue of compromise.Sympathetic, humorous, and wonderfully detailed, The Imperialist is an astute analysis of the paradoxes of Canadian nationhood, as relevant today as when the novel was first published in 1904.From the Paperback edition.
Orpheus Lostby Janette Turner Hospital
In this powerful and achingly beautiful novel, Janette Turner Hospital tackles head-on questions of national security, art, terrorism and love. From the moment Leela's ear catches the first few bars of music in between the roar of subway trains, she's entranced by its haunting beauty. Letting the music reel her in, in perfect fifths, it's at the end of the inbound platform that she finds Mishka Bartok, singingChe farò senza Euridiceand accompanying himself on the violin. He's surrounded by a cluster of commuters, but hardly seems to notice they are there until he stops playing. Despite Mishka's reluctance to talk, Leela discovers that he's a graduate student at Harvard, studying composition. She's a mathematician at MIT, researching the math of music. Their connection is immediate, and that night they embark on a steamy love affair. Living together in Boston, Leela and Mishka pursue their mutual passions -- both academic and carnal -- in a fog, as if the outside world does not exist. They have both distanced themselves from their families -- Mishka from his mother and grandparents in Australia, Leela from her father and sister back in Promised Land, South Carolina. Both recoil from the reality of the city streets, where terrorists attack American civilians and a subway bombing under Harvard Square comes dangerously close to tearing their world apart. But that is ultimately the effect of the bombing, when Leela is grabbed off the street, thrust into a dark car, and taken to an interrogation room. There, she is questioned about the recent attacks by a masked man who tells her he's a member of a private security force. He also asks directly about Mishka -- who often visits an Arab café and a mosque that are under surveillance, and socializes with known instigators... all signs that he's a terrorist, or at least aiding those responsible for the subway bombing. When Leela's captor removes his mask at last, Cobb stands before her: the person she was perhaps closest to as a teenager back in Promised Land. Since leaving the army, after a long stint in the Middle East, he's been involved in paramilitary work. Cobb knows from experience that photographs can be disastrously misinterpreted, but in his eyes, Mishka is guilty. Against her instincts, Leela thinks back to Mishka's many unexplained disappearances, often around the time of such attacks. It's then that she realizes the mystery and intensity at the heart of their relationship could be hiding much more than she'd thought. Mishka disappears again the next day, and doubt erodes Leela's love as she embarks on her own investigation to find him and unravel the mystery of his life. Little does she know that her search will lead her across the globe and into an underworld of kidnapping, torture and despair. With this compelling re-imagining of the Orpheus story, Janette Turner Hospital again shows her genius, interweaving a literary thriller with a story of passion and the triumph of decency in confusing and dangerous times. It is at once a love story on a grand scale that spans America, Australia and the Middle East, and an exploration of how ghastly side effects of terrorism can wreak havoc on individual lives. From the Hardcover edition.

To the Editor.—Your special article, "Surgery in Ovarian Cancer," stressed the point that "operation itself contributed nothing to the survival, unless it reduced the residual mass to less than 1.6 cm in diameter."
For those of us who believe that radiotherapy and chemotherapy may contribute to the survival of patients with ovarian cancer, there is another part of the surgical procedure that may help. When the surgeon has to leave residual tumor, it is important to the radiotherapist that the tumor location and size be marked by placement of metallic clips. Then, the high-dose, potentially more effective, limited beam of radiation can be directed so as to spare some normal tissues.

Diversify Your Online Bank Accounts
|Email Print
For the last ten minutes I've been trying to access ING Direct, to no avail (it's now available, but it was slow for about half an hour). While I'm certain my funds are safe and nothing is wrong, it certain solidifies the notion that you should be diversifying your bank accounts.
Websites go down. In fact, websites go down pretty often and usually it's not a big deal. However, if the website is your only interface with a bank, then it becomes a very big deal. That's why I always recommend that you diversify your online savings accounts in the event something like this happens. I'm not a good example, because I recently told you about how I had a dozen savings accounts, but if all of your savings are in one bank, you might want to spread it out a little. (here are some high yield savings options)
If you don't feel like dealing with more than one bank, here's another suggestion. Make sure that you can withdraw funds from your online savings account through your main checking account. If you remember my financial network map, my main checking account has no awareness of my savings accounts.
I can't go to my checking account and try to transfer funds from my ING Direct. That's bad. If I could, then INGDirect.com going down wouldn't bother me as much. Try to have that in place if you can.
Remember that nothing happens in real time with online savings accounts, so being down for an hour doesn't really hurt anything. However, hours have a funny way of stretching into days whenever you least desire it.

Pioneers rally past Seminoles
CROWLEY – The Crowley Pioneers have struggled through the first half of the 2010 District 7 East American Legion season and were winless entering Thursday's home showdown with the Opelousas Seminoles.
So, after the Seminoles opened the game with four runs in the first inning and one in the second, the Pios' misfortunes looked as if they would continue.
But the Pios responded midway through the game, pushing eight runs across before holding off a late rally to claim an 8-7 victory over the Seminoles.
"It has been a rough three weeks or so for us," said Pioneers' coach Steve Soper, whose team improved to 1-5 on the season with the victory. "It would have been easy, after the past couple weeks, to kind of fold it up after being down five runs. But the kids did a great job of chipping away every inning until, finally, it happened."
The Pioneers overcame a rough start that saw starter Nick Gossen face 10 batters in the top of the first frame. The Seminoles plated four runs on three hits, three walks and two Pio errors.
"We had opportunities to get out of some jams early in the first inning, but we had a few mishaps that put us down," said Soper. "It was really just us not capitalizing on the opportunities that we had."
The Seminoles added another run in the second inning to take a 5-0 advantage when Tyler Stevens tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Caleb Roberie. Brandon Porche followed with a single to left before Gossen got Brannan Hargroder to hit into a double play to end the inning.
The Pios were able to cut into the lead in the fourth inning when Andre Thibodeaux and Alex Hoston recorded back-to-back one-out singles. Thibodeaux eventually scored from third base on a passed ball before Clint Faul followed with a two-out single to right field that plated two more runs and cut the lead to 5-3.
The Pios rallied again in the fifth inning, plating five runs on two hits and four walks.
Ross Holston, Thibodeaux and Matt Venable each drew walks to start the frame and J.P. Miers was issued a free pass with two outs to push across the first run. Austin Bordelon then drove in two runs with a single to right field and Faul followed with two more RBIs on a single to left to give the Pios an 8-5 lead.
"As it got deeper into the game, their (Opelousas) two pitchers kind of struggled to find the zone," said Soper, whose team was issued eight walks on the night. "It's a credit to our kids for being really patient at the plate, waiting for good pitches to hit and when we got them, we hit them. The most important thing was that when we got guys on, we were able to drive them in with something. Whether it be a walk, a hit or reaching base on an error, just any way of being able to produce runs in key spots."
The Seminoles got within one run in the sixth when Darrin Hardy reached base on an error and scored on a triple by Eric Vincent. Ian Fontenot then hit a sacrifice fly to plate Vincent, cutting the lead to 8-7.
Alex Holston took the mound in relief of Gossen in the seventh inning and surrendered a one-out walk to James Fontenot. After Fontenot stole second and then third, Holston struck out Hardy and got Mike Barron to ground out to second base to end the game.
"Alex did a great job of not letting the pressure get to him with the base runners and everything," said Soper of Holston who was credited with his first save of the summer. "He just focused on what he had to do about getting the next two guys out (after the walk) and he did that."
Gossen earned the victory after giving up seven runs on eight hits and four walks. He struck out seven in six innings of work.
"Coming into the game, we had some guys that weren't available to pitch so it was very important that Nick went deep into the game," said Soper. "In the first inning, we kind of put some pressure on him early by not taking advantage of some ground balls. But he did a heck of a job of coming back, pounding the strike zone and letting his defense work."
Faul led the Pioneers at the plate with two hits and four RBI.
"Both of Faul's hits were with two outs and that was big," said Soper. "He is a guy who has been coming in off the bench for us but we had an injury so he came in early and got two hits in two very big situations. He was really big for us."
Thibodeaux also had two hits while Bordelon had a single and two RBI. Gossen and Alex Holston each had one hit and Miers had a RBI.
Derek Stelly paced the Seminoles with three hits and Vincent had two singles and two RBI. Stevens, Porche and Hargroder each had one hit and Fontenot finished with two RBI.
The Pioneers will be in action again Tuesday evening when they play host to the Opelousas Indians. That game is slated for 7 o'clock at Miller Stadium.
