WASHINGTON (Apr. 7)
A request that the United States Government use its good offices to make Known to the Soviet Government the extent of America's concern for the situation of the 3,000,000 Jews in the Soviet Union was submitted here to the White House and the State Department at a series of conferences which included meetings with President Johnson and Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
The appeal was made by a delegation from the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry, which late yesterday afternoon conferred with top White House aides, headed by McGeorge Bundy, the President's special assistant for national security affairs; In the latter part of that conference. President Johnson joined the meeting and gave what was described as "a sympathetic reception" to a report on the resolutions adopted by the Conference on Soviet Jewry which had concluded a few hours earlier.
This morning, the same nine-member delegation met with the Secretary of State and, later, with Assistant Secretaries of State William Tyler (European Affairs) and Harlan Cleveland (Intentional Organizations). After the State Department meeting, Lewis H. Weinstein, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, who acted as spokesman for the delegation, told correspondents that their presentation gained a "very sympathetic reception" and that they were very pleased with the mood of the "full discussion" which took place on the subject.
At today's usual briefing for correspondents. State Department spokesman Richard Phillips issued a statement, indicating that the Secretary of State is giving consideration to the suggestions presented by the Jewish delegation. The group submitted to the State Department, as it did to the White House earlier, the resolutions adopted by the 500 delegates representing the 24 Jewish organizations which participated in the Conference on Soviet Jewry.
The official statement issued by the State Department declared:
"The Secretary of State met his morning with representatives of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry and received with appreciation the statements and resolutions adopted by the Conference and conveyed to him in the meeting this morning. Representatives of the Conference also met with the President and the White House staff yesterday afternoon.
"At the meeting this morning, Secretary Rusk took occasion to reaffirm the concern expressed by Mrs. Marietta Tree, U.S. Representative at the United Nations Human Rights Commission, that anti-Semitism is used by some members of the United Nations to turn groups against each other, and to deprive Jewish minorities of religious and cultural heritage which makes this group unique.
"He confirmed the proposal made by Mrs. Tree that the UN members pledge themselves to eradicate anti-Semitism in accordance with their obligations under the UN Charter, The Secretary indicated that he would consider further steps the U.S. might take to be helpful in this matter."
In the formal statement by the delegation to Mr. Rusk, the Jewish leaders described the subject of the conference as "an issue of urgent concern to all Americans, " and submitted the request for the United States Government's good offices to make known to Moscow "the extent of our Government's concern for the situation and status" of Soviet Jews; The formal statement recalled that the U.S. Government has "ample precedent in American history for appropriate actions to deal with persecutions and oppression of minority groups."
After summarizing the resolution passed by the Conference and the 18 specific" points of action adopted, the formal statement appealed to Mr. Rusk for the State Department "to bear the full weight of its influence" to convey the views of the conference and its deep concern for the full survival of religious life in the Soviet Union.
"Our action," the statement declared, "is not to be considered in any way as an exacerbation of political conflict between East and West . This is not a political issue, It is, rather, an issue of the integral survival of the religious and cultural life of millions of members of the human family."
The delegation which presented the views of the conference to the Administration Included, in addition to Mr. Weinstein, Isaiah Minkoff, National Community Relations Advisory Council; Label A. Katz, president, B'nai B'rith; Mrs. Siegiried Kramarsky, president of Hadassah; Adolph Held, national chairman, Jewish Labor Committee; Harris Berlack, American Jewish Committee; Rabbi Jay Kauiman, vice-president, Union of American Hebrew Congregations; Rabbi Joachim Prinz, president, American Jewish Congress; and Yehuda Hellman, secretary, American Jewish Conference of Soviet Jewry.

No Telecheck Payday Loan
Do you find yourself living day to day between paychecks? Do you sometimes wish you could get an advance on your next paycheck? If so, there is a simple solution for you to receive some much-needed cash before your next paycheck comes in. No telecheck payday loan is designed for people who find themselves stretched too thin financially between paydays. You can receive extra cash the same day you apply, which makes it a great solution for emergencies and other unexpected circumstances that demand extra cash.
Can I Apply?
Applying for a no telecheck payday loan is quick and easy. You only need a computer with Internet access to complete the transaction. Simply search for a trusted finance company of your preference that suits your particular needs. The company will have the proper application forms available online for you to fill out and submit. You will not have to call the company on the phone or send them a fax-simply complete the online application at your own pace. Once this is done, you need only wait for the transaction to be completed, and you can check your bank account to confirm that you have received the requested cash. The whole process will likely be very quick and convenient.
Even better, the lender or finance company does not require a credit check from you. The process is designed to be fast, so the company will likely have no time available to complete a thorough credit check. They understand this, so they loans generally will not be significantly high. However, the tradeoff is that you receive the money very quickly, much more quickly than if the company completed a detailed credit check.
What Are The Advantages?
Instant cash when you need it is the biggest advantage of this kind of loan. There is no background credit checks, so you need not worry that your application will be rejected based on a bad credit score. You will only need a computer with Internet access and a bank account. In addition, you should be prepared to give a post dated check of the borrowed amount. Be aware that the interest rates may also be higher than those of other kinds of loans. This is simply another tradeoff for the advantages.
There are a few prerequisite requirements for this program. The applicant must meet all of the following requirements:
- At least 18 years old.
- A citizen of the same country in which you are applying for the loan.
- Able to provide bank and employment information to the lender.
- Able to provide valid proof of residence.
- Has been employed with the company for which the applicant currently works for at least 6 months.
- The applicant's regular income is more than $1,500.
You will not be able to apply for more than $1,000 at a time. Be aware that the no telecheck payday loan has the potential to increase your debt. The best way to avoid this is to pay off your debt as quickly as possible, without delaying any monthly payments. The higher interest rates of this kind of loan can make delay costly, so take this into consideration when applying for this loan. Properly used, the no telecheck payday loan can be a good way to pay for emergencies and unexpected circumstances.Source: www.samedaypayday.com

Please note: We experienced a server crash at the beginning of August and are still recovering documentation pages, some of which are linked from this thread.
Well, this is the first time we've ever had to think through developing an international project. We don't want to get so bogged down with international support that it detracts from the normal development of the modules. So, here are a few things we're doing to work with the international community and some guidelines to help you get the ball rolling for support for your country.
What are we doing?
- We have developed an interface through uc_store.module that lets admins import country files to add the appropriate entries to the tables uc_countries and uc_zones (along with the address formats) for the countries they want to support. Import files will also be able to tweak Ãœbercart settings as need be.
- Coordinating the effort through the Internationalization forum at Ubercart.org.
- Linking to non-English Ãœbercart portals and support sites.
- Fleshing out the Internationalization section of the Developer's Guide.
Guidelines for you...
- Check the Internationalization forum to find a thread for your country. If one doesn't exist and you feel like heading up the effort, go ahead and start a thread titled "Support for COUNTRY" where COUNTRY is the name of your country. Once you have it ready, attach the country import file discussed below for your country to the thread (edit your post).
- Look at the SQL file from boogiebug's port of the osCommerce contribution and pull out your country's information. Check to make sure the zones there are correct and port the information over to a country import file.
- Give us examples of the way postal codes are handled in your country.
- Provide examples of the way addresses are normally formatted in your country.
- Make sure the current currency options in Store administration > Configuration > Store settings are good enough for your country. If they aren't, mention in your post what needs to be handled differently to support your country.
- Examine the tax options and let us know if it is unclear how to use them for your country. If changes need to be made to the tax system to support your country, mention them in your post.
- List the payment gateways and shipping services that folks in from your country would use, and if possible tell us what other open source systems support these for porting purposes. If you're a developer, we invite your help for porting payment gateway and shipping quote modules to Ãœbercart with appropriate credit given to you.
- If you want to do translation work, mention that in your post. If you're feeling spunky, get to work on it yourself! View the Translation section of the Developer's Guide for more information.
- Keep track in your post of things that will prevent Ãœbercart from working in your country.
- Broadcast your efforts and recruit help! We don't want anyone to feel like they have to do this all alone. You may decide you're a good coordinator but a horrible coder and translator. If that's the case, get the thread started and recruit folks to augment your weaknesses. Why do you think we're recruiting you?
This is by no means a comprehensive set of guidelines. If you see something missing from this list, please point it out and we will gladly make changes. We will keep an updated roster of sorts with international support sites and the usernames of people heading up their country support threads.
All contributions will receive proper credit, and we love giving away credit where credit is due.

Lauren Hutton and Nip/Tuck: A Tampa Girl Made Good Plots Her Next Comeback
Even through the phone lines from her office in New York City, it's obvious. Lauren Hutton is a real broad -- in the finest sense of the word.
At age 63, she's got the ease and fearless eccentricity of many celebrities in later life. With little left to prove, few asses to kiss and less desire than ever to conform to anything, Hutton is ready to dish about life and showbiz, wrapping her smoky, lived-in voice around cheeky nostalgia and bitter curse words with equal enthusiasm. Check out the best quotes in my Floridian profile of the Tampa-raised star here.
She's once again filling a fine part, as insider Hollywood publicist Fiona McNeil on FX's buzzed-about plastic surgery series Nip/Tuck (how cool is that they're using a muscular cover of Wicked Game as their unofficial theme?). And she is frank about how, even when trying botox made one of her eyebrows stick up, "like the Wicked Witch of the West" she almost enjoyed it.
"I'll tell you something, it felt great. I felt like I was in a tranquilizer – except for when I looked in the mirror. The rest of the time, you're completely tranquil. Which made me realize how much of the synapses of our brain are trained in some way to work with the muscles of our face and emotions. If you can't frown at all -- which is what happens when you get Botox,nothing moves -– you just float around all day. I miss that feeling, and I can still remember that."
On her early days as a model in NYC: "We had jobs by the hour – you could make $60 or $70 an hour. A hardworking model, she'd have six jobs a day; you'd have a half hour to get between jobs, you'd be running up down and up downtown in the back of taxis. I used to really study people. Once in a while, I'd see an expression I didn't know. And this was while I was trying to train my face to do anything the big girls do – to make any expression the big models could make. In New York, on every corner, there's some drama happening. If I saw an expression where I didn't know what that meant – I can remember trying to put my facial muscles in that expression, and I'd feel the emotion that the person had. It was amazing."
On why she doesn't model much anymore: "I don't care how many promises I got from the photographer, the president of the company, or even my own agents that they wouldn't retouch me or would barely retouch me, I'd look at a picture of myself and look like a plastic doll. I'd look like one of those blow up dolls that truck drivers use. And it was scary and infuriating, because I knew I was passing the crap along to women."
On how she feels about most publicists (except her own): " I think most of them are monsters, really....Maybe it's that their job a lot of times is about hyping and they don't get the time to believe in their clients. They start to disbelieve anything."
Get a glimpse of Hutton's grandeur in this promo clip, where they've watered down the language (Guess which line was substituted for this one: "I feel like I'm trying to sell semen in a whorehouse!" Gotta love the wilds of cable TV after 10 p.m.)

Hi, I have been attempting to get our 8.4.8 database authenticating via a SunOne LDAP server using the older SSL encryption rather than TLS. The SSL compatibility no longer appears to be supported. I've seen some development efforts targeted at adding this compatibility back in with a patch. Can someone confirm that SSL is no longer a supported connection option for authenticating via LDAP for database version 8.4.8?

(CBS News) The brutal fight for control of Iraq and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's stunning primary loss were the central topics this Sunday on Face the Nation. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Tom Donilon, President Obama's former National Security Advisor, weighed in on the turmoil in Iraq. In addition, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus joined the broadcast to discuss the future of the GOP as the race for Congress in the midterm elections heats up.
Graham blamed the Obama administration's troop withdrawal in 2011 for the relentless advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. In the past few days, the extremist group has captured large swaths of northern Iraq, including Mosul, the second-largest city. Meanwhile, the United States has begun evacuating many of its embassy personnel in Baghdad.
He called the conditions surrounding the U.S. drawdown "the perfect storm" for a sectarian uprising. "We withdraw our forces in 2011 so the security environment falls apart," Graham said. "Maliki without hand holding being pushed by Petraeus and Crocker, the Obama administration had a hands-off approach to the political problems in Baghdad and Syria, got al-Qaeda and Iraq back into the game."
Graham's comments were picked up by The New York Times, The Associated Press, The Week, Politico, NBC News, Slate, Mediaite, The New York Daily News, The Washington Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Reuters.
Former Obama National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon, sought to direct blame at the Iraqi president, Nouri al-Maliki, who has been criticized by Sunnis in Iraq for the heavy-handed tactics of the Shiite-dominated government.
"What happened is that you have had really a failure by the Maliki government to really follow on a number of promises that he made both to the United States, to the international community, and, more importantly, to the political leadership in Iraq," Donilon said. "He's failed to really integrate the Sunni political leadership into his government."
In political news, Reince Priebus, chairman of the RNC, dismissed the notion of a divided Republican Party inthe wake of Rep. Eric Cantor's loss in his district primary to a tea party backed candidate, the relatively unknown college professor, David Brat.
"When you're trying to be a majority leader... it takes you all over this country, takes you out of your district," Priebus said. "And pretty soon, that good work you're doing nationally becomes a liability locally. And I think it's a local issue."
Donilon and Priebus's comments were picked up by The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, The Buffalo News, Politico, The Hill, Fox News, The Washington Times, PBS, and The Washington Post.

Broken sword is broken. I guess you get what you pay for.
All kidding aside, describe how it does not work. We need more info in order to help. Do you get any kind of error messages?

What kind of file did you download? Was it a zip file, a deb file, a tarball?
I got a tarball, and I extracted it, but I can't find any runnable files.
Is there a readme file?
I dont know about the Humble Bundle version, but it appears that that game normally requires ScummVM, an engine that you can install from the Ubuntu repositories.
You can install it using the software centre.
Click on the link that was emailed to you after buying the bundle - alternatively, log into your Humble Bundle account, then scroll down to All Bundles and click on the humble bundle number you want, in this case I think it is Humble Bundle for Android 4 - and then in the new page that will open click on the big red Download for Ubuntu button; that in turn will send you to a new page where you need to click on the game you want. After clicking the software centre will open automatically and it will give you the option to install the game.
Hope that helps, somehow.

text: Scientists find viruses can\'t stick to sea bugs in the dark Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, in the seas are as vital to the survival of life on earth as the oxygen producing plants are on land. But marine bacteria are attacked by viruses, which can seriously affect their life-sustaining abilities but mow a researcher at the University of Warwick has discovered that these viruses don't work in the dark, according to research presented today (Monday, 04 April 2005) at the Society for General Microbiology's 156th Meeting at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Our earth's breathable atmosphere relies on millions and millions of cyanobacteria in the seas absorbing the sun's light and giving off oxygen, in exactly the same way as the photosynthetic plants and forests on land act as the other part of the planet's lungs. But the whole delicate balance of the seas, and so the overall fate of the planet, relies on even smaller microbes called cyanophages - marine viruses that specifically attack and infect cyanobacteria. These phages can seriously damage the health of the cyanobacteria, and also the sea. Ying Jia, from the University of Warwick, is presenting new research today (Monday, 04 April 2005) at the Society for General Microbiology's 156th Meeting in Scotland, which shows that these cyanophages depend on light to stick to their victims, and cannot function in the dark. "Understanding the function of light as one of the most important environmental factors of the phage-cyanobacteria interaction is vital," says Ying Jia. Cyanophages may be an important weapon against problematic algal blooms. On hot, sunny days algae can cause massive, toxic blooms, poisoning huge areas of the sea with their waste products and killing fish, sea mammals such as whales, dolphins and seals, and even humans. Control of these blooms is vital to the health of the seas. "Research using cyanophages to control blooms of cyanobacteria must take light into consideration," explains Ying Jia. Algal blooms can use up the oxygen in water and block out the sunlight that other organisms need to live. "If there is not sufficient light, the spread of the phage might be decreased, which could undermine the efficiency of phage treatment." Ying Jia hopes that the research will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between phage and cyanobacteria and so the health of the seas, but may also eventually lead to efficient methods of controlling cyanobacteria blooms in an environmentally friendly way, by using these natural viruses.

Lobsta Truck's OC Debut TODAY!!
Let's finish our trio of luxe lonchera updates with this: Michelle told you two weeks ago about the Lobsta Truck coming to Orange County. Starting today, they'll be dropping anchor in our local waters. Turn the page for the locations!
I've never had the chance to eat at Lobsta Truck, mainly because they've been geographically inconvenient. They seem to troll the streets of Pasadena and Venice mainly, so they may as well be in Maine considering the brief hours they're open.
The photo at left shows the classically minimal (and huge) lobster roll from the legendary Red's Eats in Wiscasset, Maine. The classic presentation is a pile of chilled, steamed lobster meat in a buttered-and-toasted split-top New England roll, and nothing more. At Red's, you can ask for drawn butter, or mayo, and shake a little celery salt on top.
Will Lobsta Truck live up to the high bar set by the lobster shacks of New England? They tout the rolls flown in from New England. Check. Can they grill it with butter correctly? My guess is yes. They give you the same option of drawn butter or mayo. Check. Will they prep the lobsters correctly? How generous is the $12 portion? We'll see, neighbors.

Described as a cross between "The Office" and "The Dating Game," "Dateless" is a comedy sitcom series about life as a personal matchmaker.
Created by Sacramento's Laura Bendixsen, "Dateless" is based loosely on some of the quirky experiences she had during her years spent as a personal matchmaker.
The project is in the pre-production phase and is being co-produced by Fairfield resident Arlene Barshinger.
Barshinger, an actress, model and the producer and host of her own Internet radio show, "N the Queue," was recently featured in People Magazine's World's Most Beautiful edition as a finalist in People's Real Beauty at Every Age contest.
With local actors on board from the East Bay and Sacramento areas, a majority of the series will be filmed in Solano and Sacramento counties.
To help fund the project, a Kickstarter campaign is underway. Already supported by 115 backers, the project is close to reaching its funding minimum, but needs to raise more in order to move forward. Donations can be made at www.kickstarter.com/projects/688406154/dateless-the-series-come-be-a-part-of-the-fun, or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

For more than 30 years, the Silveyville Pumpkin and Christmas Tree Farm in Dixon has been a favorite destination for local families searching for the perfect Christmas tree to cut down and make their own.
Recently, the family owned farm received several awards from the California Christmas Tree Association's State Tree Contest in Santa Cruz.
Owners Jeri Lynn and Ted Seifert accepted awards for the best of species in the Incense Cedar and Scotch Pine categories. The also received a first-place ribbon in the Decorated Wreath category.
The growers and retailers attending the event cast secret ballots to determine the winners.
The Silveyville Christmas Tree farm has more than 15,000 trees throughout their 12 acres of choose-and-cut Christmas trees.
Visitors can also select from an additional 2,000 pre-cut, fresh-tree dertified noble firs, silver tips and Douglas firs, that are brought in from area growers.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I bought one of these just over a year ago when they were about £400 - now much cheaper (sob sob) - but I'm not bitter! I don't use the HD ready so can't really comment on that but my standard sky plus box looks good playing through it with a nice crystal clear picture. I will say the menu options are a bit fiiddly to get used to - I'm forever mashing the picture options function when I'm looking for mute, or vice versa. The remote control's buttons are a little fiddly but to be honest this seems to be the same with most TV's these days, with the possible exception of Sony. One great advantage I've found to this TV is the better than expected sound quality. When I bought it I was preparing to plug it into my hifi amplifier, but found the built in speakers to be more than up to the job. It's got the usual twin scarts plus AV inputs & 3.5mm jack. The stand is a nice glass item and looks good and stylish. No problems to report.

Essex explores improving Colchester Harbour
ESSEX Council moved ahead Monday with assessing the condition of Colchester Harbour ahead of negotiating with the federal government to take over the marina.
The town will hire a lawyer to investigate land ownership rights and hire a consultant to determine the costs and benefits of acquiring the harbour. The town also needs to develop a concept plan for what it wants at the harbour. Officials will use the Colchester Harbour master plan as an outline.
Town planner Jeff Watson said the town has to decide what approach it wants to take with the harbour revitalization. He said the town can improve facilities to meet current needs or take a Field of Dreams approach and hope tourists come if there are grand improvements like a floating pool and hotel. The town will hire a consultant to develop a business plan to help officials figure what parts of the $11 million harbour master plan are feasible.
Resident Brenda Dunn said she was tired of the town hiring consultant after consultant.
"You guys need to get it together and start spending money on the area instead of just plans," she said.
CAO Wayne Miller, who wasn't at the meeting because of a death in the family, submitted a report that cut in half the improvements proposed for the land component of the proposal. Council didn't discuss his recommendations because it will come up at another meeting.
Miller proposed spending about $2.3 million instead of $5 million on park and road improvements. He nixed two roundabouts on County Road 50, saying in the report that the road is owned by the County of Essex, which isn't interested in roundabouts in that area because the traffic doesn't justify it. He scaled back renovations to the historic schoolhouse and made the War of 1812 Peace Garden more modest. Miller did propose building a cement skirt around the splash pad in Jackson Park and going ahead with the pavilion.
Coun. Randy Voakes said the plan as proposed by Miller is more doable.
Resident Steve McPhedran said Jackson Park is in good shape and he squabbled with officials over changing the gravel parking lot.
"When people want to use it for green space for parties it's available," he said. "Do we want to change anything?"

Hi. I have been using the ecommerce module for the first time and was using a two column site layout in which the ecommerce module sat on the left with its sidebar and then the general Page sidebar used throughout the site for second and third tier navigation sat on the right with an advert below.
However the clients have now decided that they want a 3 column design with the general navigation on the left, then content and then the advert on the right. But by doing this the ecommerce pages now have 2 sidebars on the left - which isn't wanted.
Does anybody know how i can remove the general Page sidebar?
I can quite happily create new templates for pages that require a different layout such as the home page but how would i do this for a module?
Please view the attachment
Thanks in advance

Architecture Studio has a few more details on the much-talked about, oft-linked Dynamic Architecture project (you'll recall that we were talking about the rotating buildings in Dubai last year). They'd even linked up a new teaser video of the project, which you'll find below. The only strange thing is that they're referring to the creator/architect behind the whole thing, David Fisher, as "Dr. Fisher." Last we remember, Fisher's credentials were highly suspect — and now he has a PhD in something? Interesting.

Charleston Symphony Orchestra Director, David Stahl, Dies
The long-time director of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra has died.
David Stahl died Sunday night after battling lymphoma for two months. He was 60.
Stahl served as music director for the CSO for 27 years. He's credited with making the orchestra a world-class program.
His friends and colleagues remember him as devoted family man and gifted musician.
"He had so much great energy in practice and in concert. In concert a great energy was coming off of him. His concerts were always exciting," said Yuriy Bekker, Concertmaster, CSO.
Stahl is survived by his three children. His wife passed away in September from cancer.
According to the Symphony, a memorial service for Maestro Stahl and his wife will be held Saturday, November 13, 2010, at 11 a.m. in the Historic Dock Street Theatre.
The following is a statement from the Symphony remembering David Stahl:
David Stahl, Music Director and Conductor of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra for 27 years, died yesterday after a valiant two-month battle with an aggressive form of lymphoma. His death follows that of his wife, Karen, who succumbed to breast cancer only a month ago after her own 14-year battle.
For nearly 27 years, Maestro Stahl played a catalytic role in a cultural and artistic renaissance in Charleston and established himself as one of the most influential and charismatic personalities in the South. He transformed the Charleston Symphony Orchestra into a great professional orchestra and leading cultural institution and received a national award for imaginative programming from the American Symphony Orchestra League. Maestro Stahl was also the Music Director and Chief Conductor of Munich's Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz opera house, where he raised the rank of the orchestra to major status and was named Munich's "man of the year."
"For 27 years, Maestro David Stahl has served as the driving force for symphonic music in Charleston and has provided countless magical moments for audiences of every age in leading the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. We all have been firsthand witnesses to his enormous talent and his infectious enthusiasm. He will be sorely missed," said Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr.
Stahl was extraordinarily proud of the transformation of the CSO from a metropolitan orchestra into a highly respected professional regional orchestra that not only provided performances of the highest quality to the Charleston community but also served as a launching pad for the careers of many of its musicians. Maestro Stahl was a great musical mentor and many former CSO musicians now occupy some of the most prestigious orchestra posts in their profession including the Concertmasters of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Cincinnati Symphony, as well as positions in the symphonies in Houston, Seattle, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Charlotte, Dallas, Cleveland, Boston, and others.
"David has been the guiding hand for the orchestra for so many seasons that it would be easy to take his many talents for granted. That would be a mistake - David's talent was genuine, his love for the orchestra and the city was palpable, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We will miss his leadership and he will be very hard to replace," said CSO President Ted Legasey. "The entire orchestra family extends its deepest sympathies to David's children Sonya, Byron and Anna, and other Stahl family members."
After Hurricane Hugo devastated the Lowcountry in 1989, the Maestro led the way in lifting the community's spirit and helping to begin the healing process when the CSO presented a free concert at the foot of the US Custom House two weeks after the hurricane, in a performance that was telecast live statewide. Stahl's positive energy was infectious - the crowd was mesmerized.
For his long-standing commitment to the Charleston community and the State of South Carolina, Maestro Stahl received numerous awards and honors including the Elizabeth Verner Award, the Order of the Palmetto, an Honorary Doctorate from the College of Charleston, and the Governor's Palmetto Ambassador Award.
Ellen Dressler Moryl, Director of the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, a close colleague since his arrival in Charleston in 1983 and a frequent collaborator involving CSO appearances at Piccolo Spoleto beginning in 1995, praised his energy and musical vision. "David was an eternal optimist. He always emphasized the positive and he had a special ability to buoy the spirits of anyone facing an artistic challenge. This is a major loss to South Carolina's arts community. We will all miss him terribly."
The son of German Jewish refugees, David Stahl was born and educated in New York City, and made his Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 23 with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of New York. He then was invited by Seiji Ozawa to become one of the select conducting fellows at Tanglewood where he first worked with the man who would become his mentor and colleague, Leonard Bernstein.
The next year, Mr. Bernstein invited the 26-year-old to be Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic and a few years later asked him to take over the music directorship of West Side Story on Broadway and for its European tour. After serving as Assistant Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony for four seasons under Thomas Schippers, Mr. Bernstein again called on David Stahl to assist him when he made his legendary recording of West Side Story.
David Stahl and his wife, Karen, leave behind two children, Anna, 16, and Byron, 20. Also surviving David Stahl is Sonya, 29, a daughter from a previous marriage; his brother Robert; and his 90-year old father, Frank.

Pippa Middleton, Duchess Kate Middleton's sister, is planning a move to New York in preparation for the launch of her party-planning book "Celebrate," the Daily Beast reported.
Pippa currently resides in London, but has been keeping a low profile since "gungate," when she was photographed in Paris riding in the passenger seat of a convertible as the driver aimed a gun at photographers, entertainment news website Pop2it reported.
More from GlobalPost: Pippa Middleton caught in the middle of a gun-wielding incident
The incident has reportedly dashed Middleton's hopes of moving to Paris, and has the 28-year-old party planner looking for a change of scene.
"Pippa had been considering a move to Paris. But now that's off the list she has been investigating her options in America," a source told Britain's Grazia magazine magazine, according to the New York Post. "She would love to move to New York as she'll be spending time there when her book launches in the autumn."
The royal sister, whose much-awaited book "Celebrate" hits stores in October, is hoping to get a break from the constant stream of photographers that follow her around London. However, Middleton is not likely to shake the paparazzi so fast, according to US Weekly's editor Albert Lee.
"If she's trying to get away from the press, she's coming to the wrong city," Lee told Metro US. "Pippa just walking down the street in a fashionable dress, people are interested. The second she lands, I'm sure we'll be assigning reporters to cover her."

The New York Observer has the perfect solution for Middleton: move to Brooklyn instead.

It's playoff time! Well, it is for the Vikings when you need to pretty much win every game all the time from here on out to even have a chance.
And so that's what we're doing here on this glorious extended holiday weekend. Join another Purple Jesus Diaries Game Thread today, and bring on the extended family who is probably ruining your household this weekend, as we all watch the Vikings play the Texans with bated breath.
Can the Vikings sneak out a win when they need it most? Will the play this game with the playoff intensity that it deserves? Will Christian Ponder look better in his de facto playoff game here than Tarvaris Jackson did against the Eagles all those moons ago? Does anyone actually give a shit at this point, or is it all just about Adrian Peterson? That's what I thought.
So grab some egg nog, break out the new flannel pajamas, and warm your hands up in your crotch ladies, because it's game time! Let's get this win, please, for the Baby Jesus.
Enjoy the game, folks.

Research interests
As a member of the Polymers and Industrial Mathematics (PIM) group, my main current research interests are in the field of thin-fim viscous fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the development of (possibly automated) asymptotic methods for both deriving and solving the spatio-temporal evolution equations arising in both industrial coating flows and ophthalmic flows.
Other industrially related research has been done under funded collaborations with: Dr Daniel Read (Maths, PIM) on computational linear rheology; Professor Peter Jimack (Computing) on fully adaptive finite-element methods for free-surface viscous flows; PPG Protective and Marine Coatings (industrial sponsors) on the modelling of fire-resistant properties of reactive intumescent protective coatings, and; Defence Research Agency (Fort Halstead) on the modelling of high-velocity impact phenomena.
As a former member of the now-disbanded Computational PDEs group, my other current research interests involve error analyses of numerical methods for solving Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, because many examples of these arise when modelling industrial problems. A full understanding of the errors incurred in such methods may enable improved techniques to be developed and implemented. For example, recent research on problems involving boundary singularities can provide an better insight into crack formation in elastostatics.

PR Description: This Press Release highlights the need for quality wigs in the lives of cancer patients.
Atlanta, GA – Unique Creations Hair Studios is using wigs to enhance the lives of cancer patients in the Atlanta Area. The Salon Owner Monique Deering, a South Metro-Atlanta Resident, reports that, "Cancer patients go through a lot emotionally and medically. So we have taken it upon ourselves to ensure the path forward is as stress free as possible. The wigs and human hair extensions that are currently on the market are massed produced and lack quality. Our salon is very hands on and all of our wigs are made with a spirit of excellence. We cater to cancer patients as well as patients with alopecia." According to the U.S. Cancer Statistics Working Group the number of women with Breast Cancer, in the state of Georgia, is 117, 800 to 121,400. The U.S. Cancer Statistics Working Group also reports that Breast Cancer losses are 21,200 to 22,100 annually.
When we asked Monique what makes Unique Creations Hair Studios' hairpieces different she replied. "Our Units are designed, cut and styled to fit any women's lifestyle. The most beautiful ornament a woman can wear is her hair. We take that statement to heart when customizing wigs in Atlanta to our customers' needs." Monique's hair salon operates as a corporate business. The salon is broken down into three sections, Clinical Non-Surgical Hair Replacement, Human Hair Extensions Distribution to Affiliate Partners and finally a Natural Hair Salon. Monique stated, "The Non-Surgical Hair Replacement office is separate from our salon. The separation allows clients with Alopecia in Atlanta or a number of hair loss issues the privacy they desire. So they do not have to worry about feeling insecure, because of their hair issues."
Finally we asked Monique, what can hair loss clients or Cancer patients expect from your salon. "During the free consultation customers are asked questions about their hair growth goals and the unit design they have in mind. We also ask about their type of work and business. They are also asked to show pictures of what they would like. The reason behind this is, because the unit is made of Real Human Hair Extensions. Most of our wigs in Atlanta will last a customer 9 to 15 months, with maintenance." Monique concluded by stating, "If you are a cancer survivor looking for wigs in Atlanta, which give you a truly natural look and feel, then come to Unique Creations Hair Studios, where excellence is our second name."

Three Miles of Bad Road | 31 Oct 2004 // 6:00 PM
No matter that the coast is a mosquito-infested swampland and the region a well-worn corridor for house-destroying hurricanes, newly-created communities along this strip of eastern North Carolina attract wealthy retirees from the northern states. They come with their large sailboats, Lincoln Towncars, and an insatiable desire for golf. But when they emerge from their gated communities they rub elbows, so to speak, with the people who have lived here for generations; many accustomed to working 12 hours a day for minimum wage and no benefits.

Critics must be fair in their evaluation of a book and they must explain their disappointment or their joy. They should, from time to time, recommend that others give a book a try -- that their analysis is not the final word.

Wanting to pull the trigger on one of these babies just for the bad ass look to em. Any reports on them good/bad?!
What , the rino revolver. I'll pass on it. I also pass on bad ass looking. Takes ugly to a new level. Want a shooter that's reliable buy a ruger. Spend the extra money of ammo. If ya got ta have one then buy all means buy it.
read up and make your own mind up-
http://www.bing.com/search?q=rino+revolver+reviews&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=r ino+revolver+reviews&sc=1-20&sp=-1&sk=
I was shocked by how light they are. The trigger pull is pretty long, though.
If it held 8 shots and they moved the rail so you could actuate a light with your support hand I'd buy one.
He knows his revolvers. I trust his opinion on these things.
Supposedly their design is great for reducing recoil, though. I've heard that from several sources.
My Ruger Blackhawk is not that bad, even with the "Ruger only" hot handloads. My wife is small and my niece is super petite. Neither one of them have any problems with my Blackhawk, with a 6.5 barrel. Both of the ladies are experienced shooters. My wife bought a Ruger SP101 357 mag with a 2.25" barrel for her EDC.
The design of the Rhino does not lessen the recoil of the pistol. In fact, instead of the usual rocking motion that makes a balanced, conventional revolver, quick and easy to cock you take the recoil right in the palm of your hand with the Rhino.
My wife was intimidated by large caliber handguns until I bought a Blackhawk 357/9mm convertible. She got used to the Blackhawk shooting 9mm cartridges. After a couple sessions with the 9mm she jumped right on the 357 mag. In less than six months after shooting the Blackhawk she came home one day with the SP 101. I also have a Charter mag pug with a 2.5" barrel.
The recoil goes straight through your forearm with minimal barrel rise for fast follow up. I have the snubby I love it but the guys I shoot with hate the grip. But my left wrist is messed up from a motorcycle accident so don't have full strength or rotation so its perfect to control

Fairphone 2 smartphone with modular design unveiled, to release this fall
Last month, at the Google I/O 2015 developer conference, Google showcased a working prototype of Project Ara hinting that the modular smartphone could be launched soon for commercial use. Now, it looks like Google's Project Ara is not the only one for those who plan to buy modular and environment-friendly smartphones.
Fairphone 2 is a smartphone that appears to take the path between the un-serviceable smartphones and Google's Project Ara. The Fairphone 2 is a modular smartphone and it is not that easy to replace the components as on the Project Ara. The handset is built similar to a normal smartphone in many ways, and the firm has done its best to make the device serviceable.
As the device is designed to be modular, it will be possible for the users of the Fairphone 2 to replace its internal components. The users can replace the components to get a larger RAM, better camera or faster processor and so on. Though it will not be easy to replace the components as on the Project Ara prototype, the users can take the device to a smartphone repair shop and the professionals trained to do will get the components replaced.
The Fairphone 2 features a replaceable outer shell that can double as a protective case. The firm assures to launch more outer case versions in the future with different designs and levels of protection. The standard one will have a thickness of 11 mm that is thicker than the ones in the usual smartphones. However, it makes sense as the outer shell of the Fairphone 2 can withstand drops of nearly 2 meters on a concrete surface without causing any damage to the device.
The firm states that removing the display is very simple. It is said that the display can be changed by getting away the protective outer shell and pushing the pair of clips that grasp the display in its position.
On the specs front, the Fairphone 2 is given a Snapdragon 801 chipset paired with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of native storage space. It is a dual SIM smartphone that features an 8 MP main snapper and gets energized by a 2,420 mAh battery. The firm is in plans to launch updated components such as NFC capable back covers, better cameras and more in the future.
The Fairphone 2 will be launched in Europe sometime this fall for a price of €525 (approx. $590) for the unlocked version. As of now, there is no word on when the device will make its way to the other markets.

THE Met Office has issued an amber "be prepared" warning for heavy rain in parts of the Highlands and Islands and Grampian, with flooding likely today.
Up to four inches of rain was expected in the Moray, Speyside and Easter Ross areas over a 24-hour period from last night.
Localised flooding and difficult driving conditions were predicted for this morning's peak traffic hours. Outside of this time, a yellow "be aware" warning for rain is in place for northern and eastern parts of the country.

A yellow warning has also been issued for strong winds moving from the north of England overnight up the east coast of Scotland, with gusts of up to 40mph.
Transport Scotland and partners, including the local authorities, Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and Police Scotland, are closely monitoring the situation.
Traffic Scotland operator manager Stein Connelly said: "The Met Office is telling us that parts of the North East and Highlands and Islands are likely to face difficult road conditions due to heavy rain on Sunday night and into Monday morning.
"We would advise people in these areas to prepare for some travel disruption and to allow extra time for their journeys. They should also check the relevant websites for up-to-date travel information.
"Transport Scotland is in regular contact with the Met Office and Police Scotland and the operating companies will continue to monitor the conditions"
Marc Becker, hydrology duty manager for SEPA, said: "Wet and windy weather is expected over many parts of Scotland, which has the potential to result in some localised flooding especially across the east and north of the country.
"We would advise the public to take care during commuting time [on Monday] morning in north-east Scotland in particular."
Rachael Vince, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said after the heatwave that saw parts of Scotland bask in temperatures of around 27C, this week was more "typical British summer. A bit of rain in August is nothing unusual. We are in for an unsettled spell."
Organisers had to postpone the prestigious Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race, which was due to kick off from the Isle of Wight yesterday, after severe storms.

Will Pixar's Next Movie Keep the Oscars Rolling In? [VIDEO]
With the Oscar success of Toy Story 3 fresh in my mind, it occurred to me that I don't think Pixar has ever made a bad movie. Sure, there were some I wondered about at first (i.e. "A French rat voiced by Patton Oswalt? Really?"), but the final product has always dispelled any doubts I may have had.
Hopefully, this trend will continue with Pixar's latest project, Cars 2. Check you the official trailer!
Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy reprise their roles as the voices of Lightning McQueen the stock car, and his best buddy Mater the tow truck. Other voice talents include Michael Caine, Bonnie Hunt, and Eddie Izzard. Considering Pixar's track record, I can't wait to see this one!

I absolutely love
my office this time of year - with windows facing east and south, the light just pours in all day. It's 6:30 and the sun is already way up and pouring in its cheering light. With a lot of imagination, I can even pretend that the traffic on I-55 is breaking surf... well, okay, so I don't have THAT much imagination. But it was a nice thought...

Florence Earle Coates
Florence Earle Coates (1 July 1850 – 6 April 1927)—American poet born in Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania poet laureate who gained notoriety both at home and abroad for her works of poetry—nearly three-hundred of which were published in literary magazines of her day such as the Atlantic Monthly, Scribner's, The Literary Digest, Lippincott's, The Century Magazine, and Harper's.
- I love, and the world is mine!
- From Mrs. Coates' poem, "Song: For me the jasmine buds unfold". First published in Harper's Weekly (21 February 1891)
- A democrat by conviction rather than by temperament, urging democracy as 'the only method consistent with human instinct toward expansion,' he was yet an educator, and believed in equality upon a high, not upon a low plane. Like Ruskin, he demanded of men their best, and with less than their best refused to be satisfied.
- Mrs. Coates on Matthew Arnold—Literary and social critic who both encouraged and inspired Mrs. Coates' writing, and was a guest on several occasions at the Coates' Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania home during his stays in Philadelphia (31 March 1894). From The Critic, 31 March 1894.
- My "Poems" were written without a purpose, other than the expression of faiths and ideals strongly realized and emotions keenly felt. They were written for the joy of writing, and for the satisfaction of an irresistible impulse. It is my belief that it is not the business of art either to teach or to preach.
- Written at Camp Elsinore, Upper St. Regis Lake, New York, June 24, 1898. From Book News, Aug 1898.
- The question of perpetual copyright is, in my judgement, entitled to the full and favorable consideration of the Congress of an enlightened republic. There would seem to be every reason for the equitable protection, without limit as to time, of the unquestioned property rights of its citizens.
- Mrs. Coates on perpetual copyright. From The Literary World, 28 Oct 1899.
- They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.
- Taken from the inscription on Mrs. Coates' headstone which is excerpted from a memorial poem she wrote for Eliza Sproat Turner, who died on 20 June 1903. "In Memory: Eliza Sproat Turner" from Mine and Thine (1904).
- She was a great woman with the heart of a little child. Her works praise her; the millions of God's creatures whom she has saved from suffering sing her praise. Where she has gone the recognition of this world counts for little. She has gone where the merciful are blessed, where the pure in heart see God.
- Mrs. Coates on her Aunt (ca. September 1916), Mrs. Caroline Earle White—President and founder of The Women's Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the American Anti-Vivisection Society. Caroline Earle White biography on the American Anti-Vivisection Society website
- Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Volume 33 (1922)
- The business of art is to enlarge and correct the heart and to lift our ideals out of the ugly and the mean through love of the ideal...The business of art is to appeal to the soul.
- The New York Times (10 December 1916) From "Godlessness Mars Most Contemporary Poetry."
- ...poetry needed no renascence. It was not young, it is not old.
- The New York Times (10 December 1916) From "Godlessness Mars Most Contemporary Poetry."
- Maeterlinck says that compared with ordinary truths mystic truths have strange privileges—they can neither age nor die. Beauty is eternal and ugliness, thank God, is ephemeral. Can there be any question as to which should attract the poet?
- The New York Times (10 December 1916) From "Godlessness Mars Most Contemporary Poetry."
Quotes about Florence Earle Coates[edit]
- I am told [Mrs. Coates] bears me in mind and is of a disposition to look with something of favor on my work—which I might say, quoting one of William's playful quips, 'shows her good sense.' They tell me Mrs. Coates is quite a woman among women—is beautiful, shines with great brightness, and, by those who know her well, is admired and cherished...(93) I don't know Mr. Coates but I know the wife—a beautiful, true woman, I have always believed her. We have had several talks together—or maybe only one talk: I am not clear about that now—but I shall always remember what she said—the effect of her talk, which was mainly about Matthew Arnold, who was her guest in Germantown. Arnold is a man for whom I never seem to be able to get up any stir—with whom I never have had and never could have a thorough-going affinity. But Mrs. Coates gave me the other side of him—the social side, the personal side, the intellectual side—the side of deportment, behavior—the side which I ought perhaps most to hear about and did willingly and gladly hear of from her. For every man has that better thing to be said of him—is entitled to all it may mean, signify, explain...(112) Yes, tell the Coates people—Mrs., Mr. Coates—to come over: I will see them...(156) I saw [Mr. and Mrs. Coates]—was glad to see them: both of them are so good, cordial, sincere—she particularly. It does my old eyes good to look at such a woman...(215) The letter [Mrs. Coates had sent to me] that came with [the poem, "The Promised Land"] was very hospitable, forth-giving: I liked it: indeed, the letter was a better poem than the poem: a real poem, in fact...(396)
- Walt Whitman, as told to Horace Traubel in With Walt Whitman in Camden: July 16, 1888-October 31, 1888 [numbers above refer to pages].
- Mrs. Coates is the very incarnation of contradiction. The action of her life is cast along the lines of conventional routine; but the hidden and real existence of the woman is carried on miles beyond and above all the material concerns, in the pure ether of the poet's realm. She will shut herself up with the "wide-eyed muse" to round a sonnet of majestic reach, or she will merge into the gay world, the laces of a dutchess about her, precious stones at her throat and glowing roses on her breast, there to dazzle all listeners to her conversation, in which bon mot, persiflage, eloquence and philosophy are interwoven. She is a "fine lady," and yet her poetry is never tainted by "fine ladyism." She is a bluestocking, but with none of the unlovely signs of bluestockingism about her. Another woman with Mrs. Coates' voice, mobile face, and evident histrionic instinct would have dashed away from the conventional life and sought vent for the "tempest within" in the mimic world of the stage, but Mrs. Coates is mistress of a perfectly ordered home.
- Marianna F. McCann, from The Philadelphia Inquirer, 13 May 1894: her first impression upon meeting Mrs. Coates some years earlier at a reception in honor of French author Madamme Henry Gréville.
- Some day, it is to be hoped, we may look for a book of lyrics from Mrs. Florence Earle Coates, whose store of music increases with each month's magazines. Where there is so much sweetness in single notes, there must needs be an unusual charm in a complete opus.
- The Literary World, 26 March 1892; p. 109.
- As generous as a woman and as inspiring as a poet as she is discriminating in hero worship, this appreciation of "the noblest man that ever lived in the tides of time" is dedicated by her friend, THE AUTHOR.
- Dr. Matthew Woods—from his book, In Spite of Epilepsy (1913)—which he dedicated to Mrs. Coates. Dedication page of Matthew Woods' In Spite of Epilepsy (1913) on Google Books. (Quote is from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.)
