Wednesday, June 16, 2004
DNEPROPETROVSK,
Ukraine - More than forty
letters from the personal
archive of Rabbi Levi
Yitzchok Schneerson have
been discovered in
Dnepropetrovsk.
Rabbi Levi Yitzchok
Schneerson, who served as Chief Rabbi of Yekaterinoslav-
Dnepropetrovsk, was arrested by the NKVD in 1939, and died in
exile in Kazakhstan. A major part of his personal archive was
thought to be irretrievably lost; however, as a result of research
conducted by Igor Romanov, the Regional Director of the FJC
Ukraine, part of the archive has finally been discovered.

Weapons of Mass Instruction

Louisville, Ky.
When visitors walk into the new Frazier Historical Arms Museum, the
first thing they see is an 1880s Gatling gun. But if they think this is
merely another gun museum, they soon learn otherwise. For after
touring the three floors of gallery space, visitors have a clear
understanding not only of the evolution of armaments but of the
historical events in which they were used. And that's what sets this
museum -- which opened May 22 -- apart.

Library Given a Collection of the Makings
of Hit Musicals
By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: June 16, 2004
The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has
received a gift of thousands of pages of scripts, songs and other
pieces of stage memorabilia from two of Broadway's best-known
musical teams: Kander and Ebb, and Bock and Harnick. The
donation, ranging from scraps of pure inspiration to less successful
discards, gives a glimpse of the sometimes delightful, sometimes
devilish backstage grind that went into making classic musicals like
"Cabaret" and "Fiddler on the Roof."

Alcoholics 'Big Book' on NY Auction Block
Wed Jun 16, 2004 03:28 PM ET
By Grant McCool
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 1938 manuscript of "Alcoholics Anonymous" will be offered at auction for an
estimated $300,000 on Friday, but a historian said the bible of the 12-step movement was overpriced and
belonged in archives.
Sotheby's said it has AA co-founder William Wilson's master copy of "Alcoholics Anonymous" -- a work that
has helped millions of alcoholics worldwide to stop drinking and is known by those in recovery as "The Big
Book."

Corporate Regulation
Must Be Working --
There's a Backlash
By a WALL STREET JOURNAL Staff Reporter
June 16, 2004; Page C1
Quietly -- and sometimes not so quietly -- the
backlash against corporate-governance regulation is
raging. But these efforts couldn't be more misplaced.
Corporate reform hasn't gone too far; it has just
begun.
There are two main targets of the backlash forces:
Sarbanes-Oxley, especially "Section 404," which
calls for tightened corporate internal controls, and
institutional investors, who are increasingly flexing
their muscles in the boardroom.

HISTORY
Jeff Davis' last battle
Beauvoir and Harrison County in tug of war
over CSA president's will
By BETH MUSGRAVE
BILOXI -
Jefferson Davis left his Warren County
home and much of his belongings to his
wife.
His interests in two Louisiana plantations
were left to family friends.
But what the president of the Confederacy
did not say in his final will is what would
happen to his three-page, handwritten will.
Since the will was filed in December 1889
in Harrison County Chancery Court, it has
remained at the Gulfport courthouse, first
in a court file and now in a safe.

records on how dog tracks dispose of their animals. Legislators should over-ride
that veto in tomorrow’s session.

Finance director talks about audit for
public records
By Linda Martz
News Journal
MANSFIELD -- Richland County got bumped from having a perfect score for open
records in Ohio newspapers' recent statewide test of the state's open records
laws.
But Finance Director Sandra Converse said that's because of unavoidable delays
retrieving a two-year-old record from storage and mailing it to the requester -- not
because of any policy obstructing the public.

Creating a Data Backup Server
By Bill Howard
July 13, 2004
As more and more of your life's records and memories are stored in digital
form, it makes sense to explore the best ways to keep them secure. All
methods have drawbacks, some of them glaring. Floppy disks are all but
dead as a format. ZIP disks are expensive for their capacity. CD/DVD
backups are great—if you remember to make them. A lone hard disk will fail,
sooner or later.

When good discs go bad
Melissa J. Perenson, SAN

Knowing your data will be there
when you go back to it days,

well, that's a bit harder. Not all
discs are created equal, as Fred
Byers, information technology
specialist at the National

First mobile phone virus, but harmless
Paris
June 16, 2004
The first ever computer virus that can infect mobile phones has been discovered, anti-virus software developers
said today, adding that up until now it has had no harmful effect.
The French unit of the Russian security software developer Kaspersky Labs said that that virus -- called Cabir --
appears to have been developed by an international group specialising in creating viruses which try to show "that
no technology is reliable and safe from their attacks".
