Mattel recalls 1.5 million toys
28. Februar 2008![]() |
Aug. 2 - A major US toy maker is recalling 1.5 million Chinese-made toys because of high levels of lead in the paint. The recalled toys made for Mattel’s Fisher-Price range include popular pre-school characters like Elmo and Big Bird along with dozens of other items. The recall comes amid heightened concern worldwide about the safety of China’s exports. Mattel said it had isolated two-thirds of the affected toys before they reached the shelves. In the United States, the Fisher-Price toys were sold nationwide between May and August. Customers who are worried are advised to go to Mattel’s website for more information. Helen Long reports.

28. Februar 2008Beethoven’s Tempest Sonata mvt. 3 — Wilhelm Kempff
28. Februar 2008![]() |
Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Opus 31 No. 2
Kempff was born (1895 in Jüterbog, Brandenburg, Germany) in a family of distinguished church musicians. His father was his first teacher. He entered the Hochschule für Musik Berlin at age nine (deeply impressing the directors with his playing, improvisation and compositions) did furthur study in Potsdam, and finished up in Berlin 1916 also studying philosopy and music history.
His first appearance as a soloist was with the Berlin Phil Orch in 1918, Beethovens G major piano concerto under Arthur Nikisch…..Scandinavian tours continued after the war, culminating in a award bestowed on him by King Gustav of Sweden.
He was music director of Musikhochschule Stuttgart 1924-1929, and married piano pupil Helene Freiin Hiller in 1926. In 1927 took his first trip to Turkey and met with president Atatürk offering advice on appointments to Ankara college of music.
Then taught at Potsdam 1931-1941 with Edwin Fischer and Walter Gieseking. Premiere of his second opera “family Gozzi” in 1934 to good notices. He composed many works for orchestra, piano, organ, chamber ensembles and songs.
In 1951 he published his autobiography, “”Unter dem Zimbelstern, das Werden eines Musikers”
His first London concert in 1951 launched his strong international career (tho his first of many trips to Japan took place in 1936)
His first visit to US was for concerts in New York City, 1964
1969 TV broadcast of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto G major with Rafael Kubelik (someone post that!!)
UNESCO Concert (1974) in Paris with Yehudi Menuhin and Mstislav Rostropovitch.
1979 was his last concert with orchestra, Beethovens piano concerto G major with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Vladimir Ashkenazy.
1981 his second book came out “Was ich hörte, was ich sah”.
23 May 1991, William Kempff died. He is buried in the private forest cemetery of the Baron von Künssberg at Upper Franconia.
recorded in Paris, 1968

28. Februar 2008Linus Pauling–How He Discovered the Alpha Helix
28. Februar 2008![]() |
http://www.encognitive.com
The Rockefeller Foundation began awarding significant grants in this area. Linus Pauling, however, was not an early recipient. His work focused on the crystal structure of inorganic molecules, and he had shown little interest in biological substances. Nevertheless, impressed by the reputation Pauling was earning among chemists, Weaver visited Caltech and offered Pauling research support in hopes that he could shape the young chemist’s research interests. Lured by Rockefeller money, Pauling in the early 1930s turned his attention to the structure of biomolecules, especially proteins such as hemoglobin and antibodies.
Determining the structure of proteins at this time was an enormous problem. Most proteins were difficult to purify, easily degraded, and hard to characterize. Proteins appeared to be not only gigantic molecules comprising hundreds or thousands of atoms–structures much too large to determine directly with x-ray crystallography–but were also relatively fragile, losing their function (denaturing) after even slight heating or mechanical disturbance. No one at the time was even sure that they were distinct molecules–one popular theory held that proteins formed amorphous colloids, gels that did not lend themselves to molecular study.
But once Weaver had convinced him to take on the challenge, Pauling succeeded by his hard work, his deep understanding of simpler chemical structures, and his model-building approach. To solve the problem of protein structure, Pauling first directed his laboratory coworkers to find the precise structures of several amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. This effort resulted in a far better understanding of these important components.
Following on the ideas of the German biochemist, Emil Fischer, Pauling correctly theorized that amino acids linked to one another end-to-end, through relatively rigid bonds that would hold them in certain positions. From this initial understanding of amino acid bonds, he built up his ideas about larger-scale protein structures. Working with Alfred Mirsky in the mid-1930s, Pauling discovered that the denaturing of proteins was the result of breaking weak bonds, called hydrogen bonds, that pinned the amino acid chains into specific shapes and allowed them to function biochemically. Through the 1930s he used his lectures and persuasive writing to criticize rival theories of protein structure.
In May 1951, he wrote a celebrated series of seven papers detailing the structures of a number of proteins at the level of individual atoms, including the structure of the single most important basic form of protein chain, the alpha helix (a hydrogen-bonded helical chain that is a structural component of most proteins). It was an astounding breakthrough, and it opened the door for an understanding of biology at the molecular level.
Pauling’s strategic approach to his research, as well as his specific discoveries, established him as a founding father of molecular biology. First, he worked to understand the structures of the subunits that make up the larger molecules. Then he determined how they could link together. He used the basic rules of chemistry and physics to limit and guide his hypotheses. Finally, he built models to test and elaborate his ideas. By using this approach, Pauling was able to make fundamental advances in determining the shapes of biomolecules, and this achievement then allowed him to investigate how chemical structure determines biological function.
For Pauling, though, determining the structure of DNA was the prize that eluded him. In 1952, he proposed a three-chain helical structure for DNA. Hampered by inadequate data, he was mistaken. The following year, armed with better experimental results, James Watson and Francis Crick used Pauling’s strategic approach and came up with the correct, double-helical structure. After years of hearing her husband answer questions about how he missed this essential discovery, Pauling’s wife Ava Helen asked him–only half in jest–”If that was such an important problem, why didn’t you work harder on it?”

Racist Video Spurs South Africa Riots
28. Februar 2008![]() |
Outrage over ‘racist’ South African university video
JOHANNESBURG (AFP) — A video recording of black workers made to perform degrading acts by white university students has sparked outrage in South Africa and cast a new spotlight on racism in the “Rainbow Nation”.
The home-made film, described as “shocking and disgusting”, shows five laughing black workers taking part in a number of initiation-like rituals, including going down on their knees and eating meat a student had urinated on.
The recording, which came to light on Tuesday, was dubbed “The aparthate video” by The Star newspaper — a play on the racist system of white-minority rule (apartheid) that ended in South Africa in 1994.
University of the Free State spokesman Anton Fisher said the cleaners, some quite advanced in years, may have been duped.
“They obviously got the workers to participate under false pretence, something innocuous, and when it was put together it was not what they told the workers (it would be).”
A narrative in Afrikaans indicates the recording was made in protest against a new university integration policy that would see black and white students mix more in residences.
“Once upon a time the boere (Afrikaners) lived peacefully here on Reitz Island, until one day when the less-advantaged discovered the word ‘integration’ in the dictionary,” a resident of the once exclusively white Reitz men’s hostel says on the tape, seen by AFP.
The video shows the workers — four women and a man — downing beer, dancing and participating in mock rugby practice, after which they are given meat to eat on which one of the students had been filmed urinating.
The video ends with the words: “That, at the end of the day, is what we think of integration.”
Fisher said he received a copy of the video, filmed last September, on Tuesday, and immediately alerted management of the historically white university in the former independent Free State Afrikaner republic.
He said two of the students on the video had already completed their studies and left. The other two have now been barred from campus.
“I viewed the video. I found it absolutely shocking and disgusting and I was very angry with what I saw. There are other steps to follow still, we are in a disciplinary process and another step will be going to the police and laying a criminal charge,” he told AFP.
Tensions have been simmering on campus over an integration policy introduced this year that aims to make black and white students mix more in university hostels but has led to protests that saw rioting last week.
“On the main campus in effect we have ‘two campuses’ — one white and one black — separated in the classrooms and the residences,” reads the integration policy document.
The leader of the main opposition Democratic Alliance, Helen Zille, called for a probe of “underlying causes of racial tension at the university and other institutions that face similar challenges around racial integration”.
Jody Kollapen, chairman of the Human Rights Commission set up by the constitution, said those responsible should be arrested and prosecuted.
“It is so unconscionable we should not be willing to discuss or negotiate it.”
Black and white students and staff held a combined protest against racism on the campus on Wednesday, said Fisher. Police used a stun grenade to disperse a breakaway group who threw stones at the Reitz hostel.
South African universities have undergone massive changes since the fall of the apartheid state 14 years ago.
Under the policies of the mainly black supported African National Congress, former liberation movement turned governing party, formerly black and white tertiary institutions were forced to merge — a process that some former Afrikaans universities initially resisted.
