Mac Dalgleish (* 12. Juni  1901 in California; † 31. Dezember 1974 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Toningenieur, der 1945 für einen Oscar nominiert war.

Leben
In dem Mysterydrama Cross-Examination von Richard Thorpe gab Dalgleish seinen Einstand beim Film. Er war für den Sound im Film zuständig. Im Jahr 1942 arbeitete er an Charlie Chaplins Tonfilmfassung seines Films Goldrausch von 1925 als Sound recordist mit. Im Kriegsdrama Hitler's Madman von 1943 von Douglas Sirk, das das Attentat auf Reinhard Heydrich und die durch das NS-Regime folgenden Racheakte zum Thema hat, war er der verantwortliche Soundingenieur.

1945 erhielt Mac Dalgleish als Sound Director von RCA Sound eine Oscar-Nominierung in der Kategorie "Bester Ton" für das Filmdrama Voice in the Wind mit Franz Lederer und Sigrid Gurie in den Hauptrollen. Die Auszeichnung ging jedoch an Edmund H. Hansen und die Filmbiografie Wilson, die die Lebensgeschichte des US-Präsidenten Woodrow Wilson erzählt.

An dem von der Kritik kontrovers beurteilten Film noir Impact von Arthur Lubin mit Brian Donlevy arbeitete Dalgleish 1949 ebenso mit wie an dem 1950 entstandenen Film noir von Rudolph Maté Opfer der Unterwelt. Im selben Jahr entstand auch der biografische Film über und mit dem amerikanischen Baseball-Star Jackie Robinson The Jackie Robinson Story von Alfred E. Green, in dem Dalgleish für den Sound zuständig war. Im darauffolgenden Jahr war er an der Neuverfilmung des deutschen Films M durch Joseph Losey mit demselben Titel beteiligt, in dem die Hetzjagd auf einen gesuchten Kindermörder vom Berlin der Weltwirtschaftskrise in die Stadt Los Angeles der Nachkriegszeit verlegt wurde. Daran schlossen sich weitere Filme an, wobei die Filmkomödie Abbott und Costello als Piraten wider Willen Dalgleishs letzte Arbeit an einem Film dokumentiert.

Im Jahr 1957 war Dalgleish im Sound Department Segment "Arizona Sheepdog" für eine Folge der Fernsehserie Disneyland am Sound beteiligt.

AS FLINT STRUGGLES WITH CONTAMINATED WATER, CONGRESS TRIES TO GUT CLEAN WATER RULE
Jan 24, 2016 by Casey Coates Danson

The latest attempt to do away with a federal water rule that protects millions of miles of streams failed Thursday, as senators couldn't garner enough votes to override a presidential veto and block the contested Waters of the United States rule. The attempt to veto the rule, which protects bodies of water that provide drinking water for one-third of Americans, comes in the midst of a water contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan.
The vote was deeply divided among partisan lines, with 52 senators voting to upheld the veto, eight abstaining and the remaining 40 voting against it. While the vote was close, overriding a veto requires a super-majority. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) filed for the vote, which was considered a long-shot from the start, less than a day after President Obama vetoed a resolution that would have blocked the water rule.
"Too many of our waters have been left vulnerable," Obama said in a message to Congress. "Pollution from upstream sources ends up in the rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and coastal waters near which most Americans live and on which they depend for their drinking water, recreation, and economic development."
The mandate, often referred to as the Clean Water Rule, was finalized in May after some eight years of design. It aimed to clarify what waters the Environmental Protection Agency can regulate under the Clean Water Act, experts told ThinkProgress. With its unveiling, the rule expanded protection to two million miles of streams and 20 million acres of previously unregulated wetland.
Flint does show, of course, that water is precious, and water supplies can be endangered and agencies have a lot of work to do
Before it, previous court decisions — including at least two Supreme Court rulings — made it unclear whether or not these waters could be regulated under the Clean Water Act. In turn, it was often difficult to address pollution problems in wetlands and other areas, as jurisdiction had to be determined on an almost case-by-case basis.
"And that's a very time-consuming and expensive process," said Victor Flatt, professor of environmental law at the University of North Carolina's School of Law, in an interview with ThinkProgress.
However, how much clarity it created is in the eye of the beholder, said Craig Oren, environmental law professor at Rutgers Law School. "The rule is very controversial."
Critics of the law have called the rule regulatory overreach, arguing that it is so broad that it covers seasonal puddles and dry creek beds. The agricultural industry has also opposed the rule, claiming that it would allow regulators to control irrigation ditches and seasonal ponds and tributaries.
The EPA denies these claims, arguing that the rule would not require any additional permitting requirements, and would preserve all existing exemptions and exclusions allowed under the Clean Water Act.
Many senators were resolute in their opposition to the rule Thursday.
"We have a choice today, we do have a choice. We can stand with our farmers, with our rangers, our small businessmen, our manufacturers, our home builders, or we can stand with an overreaching federal agency," said Joni Ernst, the Iowa senator who introduced the vetoed resolution, prior to Thursday's vote.
Congress' attempt to undermine a major new provision of the Clean Water Act comes at a pivotal time for streams and water consumers. Water pollution has been under the national spotlight following a lead poisoning crisis in the city of Flint, Michigan. The lead emergency has stretched for months, infecting the blood of children and leaving tens of thousands of residents without safe tap water.
Thursday's vote may not be directly related to Flint, but upholding the veto means the federal government is still entitled to protect streams that supply drinking water to a third of the country. "Flint does show, of course, that water is precious, and water supplies can be endangered and agencies have a lot of work to do," said Flatt. "And if they don't do their job, people can suffer — and that's true about environmental issues, too."
But although the Clean Water Rule was kept intact, experts said the law is still quite vulnerable. Congress could come up with another vote as Obama is nearing the end of his term and court challenges to the rule are almost certain.
"The administration that comes to power might seek to repeal this rule, or it might choose not to defend the rule in court against a challenge," said Oren. "Of course [all] depends on what the courts say and what the election brings us."

The fact that Congress is even considering changing or nullifying the Clean water act is frightening.
Especially so in the light of events in Flint.
Is there no shame or concern from Congress to fight all common Sense and so brazenly try and improve legislation that favours the Businesses over the hopes,health and wishes of the people?
Guess Not.
John W
The Flint water crisis most likely reminded the Republican Congress to try to gut the Clean Water Rule in order to help billionaires make more money. This is just what they do, and they've been particularly brazen since losing the White House.

Where the sea meets the land, life has blossomed into a myriad of unique forms in the turbulence of water, sand, and wind. At another seashore between the land of atoms and the sea of bits, we are now facing the challenge of reconciling our dual citizenships in the physical and digital worlds. Windows to the digital world are confined to flat square ubiquitous screens filled with pixels, or "painted bits." Unfortunately, one can not feel and confirm the virtual existence of this digital information through one's body.
Tangible Bits, our vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), seeks to realize seamless interfaces between humans, digital information, and the physical environment by giving physical form to digital information, making bits directly manipulable and perceptible. The goal is to blur the boundary between our bodies and cyberspace and to turn the objects and architectural space into an interface. In this talk, I will present a variety of tangible user interfaces the Tangible Media Group has designed and presented within the CHI, SIGGRAPH, UIST, CSCW, IDSA, ICSID, ICC, and Ars Electronica communities in the past several years.
Hiroshi Ishii is a tenured Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, at the MIT Media Lab. He co-directs Things That Think (TTT) consortium and directs Tangible Media Group. Hiroshi Ishii's research focuses upon the design of seamless interfaces between humans, digital information, and the physical environment. At the MIT Media Lab, he founded and directs the Tangible Media Group pursuing a new vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): "Tangible Bits." His team seeks to change the "painted bits" of GUIs to "tangible bits" by giving physical form to digital information. Ishii and his students have presented their vision of "Tangible Bits" at a variety of academic, industrial design, and artistic venues (including ACM SIGCHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, Industrial Design Society of America, Ars Electronica, and Centre Pompidou), emphasizing that the development of tangible interfaces requires the rigor of both scientific and artistic review. A display of many of the group's projects took place at the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo in summer 2000. A new, three-year-long exhibition "Get in Touch" that features the Tangible Media group's work opened at Ars Electronica Center (Linz, Austria) in September 2001.
Prior to MIT, from 1988-1994, he led a CSCW research group at the NTT Human Interface Laboratories, where his team invented TeamWorkStation and ClearBoard. In 1993 and 1994, he was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Toronto, Canada. He received B. E. degree in electronic engineering, M. E. and Ph. D. degrees in computer engineering from Hokkaido University, Japan, in 1978, 1980 and 1992, respectively.


The controversial Australian doctor currently practicing in Mexico who claims to have successfully treated HIV-positive actor Charlie Sheen through a goat-milk derived alternative therapy was given some serious — and seriously unchallenged — Real Time on HBO last night, though Sheen's return to the conventional treatments that saved his life was barley acknowledged by the doctor or host Bill Maher.
"People are going to attack me just for having you on," Maher said during the one-on-one interview with Samir Chachoua that took top-of-the-show spot on Friday's Real Time With Bill Maher. And indeed they did.
Chachoua made headlines when Sheen sought the alternative treatment in Mexico shortly after making his HIV status public. In a controversial episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Sheen said that he'd abandoned his HIV medications in favor of Chachoua's "Induced Remission Therapy" treatments, while Chachoua stirred more uproar by claiming he had injected himself with Sheen's blood to prove the effectiveness of his treatment.
The segment has not been posted to Real Time's Youtube page. If and when it goes up, we'll link.

HomeEnglishSomali authorities detain journalist accused of spreading 'false news'
Nairobi, September 26, 2018–Authorities in the Somali state of Galmudug should immediately release broadcast journalist Mohamed Abdiwali Tohow without charge, the Committee to Protect Journalist said today. Intelligence personnel detained the journalist on September 22 over a report broadcast the previous day for the Mogadishu-based Radio Kulmiye, according to the station's director, Burhan Dini Farah, and Ismail Sheikh Khalifa, chairperson of the advocacy group Human Rights Journalists.
On the morning of September 22, the journalist received a phone call from intelligence personnel, asking him to appear at a station in the state capital, Dhusamareeb, according to Burhan, who spoke with journalists who have visited Mohamed in the detention center, and a Galmudug-based journalist who is familiar with the case but who asked to remain anonymous because he is not authorized by his company to comment.
The intelligence personnel told Mohamed that his report alleging that the militant group Al-Shabaab was regrouping in parts of the state was "false news," according to Burhan and the Galmudug-based journalist. As of late today, the journalist had not been charged, Ismail told CPJ.
"That Mohamed Abdiwali Tohow has not been charged with any crime, four days after he was arrested, demonstrates this is little more than an attempt to intimidate and punish the journalist for his reporting," said CPJ Sub-Saharan Africa Representative Muthoki Mumo. "Authorities in Galmudug should immediately release him without charge, and allow journalists to work freely, especially when they report on critical issues."
Mohamed contributes to several stations, including the London-based broadcaster Universal TV. The broadcaster's East Africa director, Abdullahi Kulmiye Hirsi, told CPJ today that authorities in Galmudug said that they would produce the journalist in court on September 27. Burhan told CPJ that Galmudug's minister of information, Mohamud Aden Osman, told him on September 25 that the journalist would be released once investigations were completed.
The minister told CPJ that he was aware of the journalist's arrest and that it was not the first time the reporter had spread "wrong information," The minister said he was in discussions and that he hoped Mohamed would be released soon, but did not specify further details.

Murder Charges Possible After Death of 89-Year-Old Woman Beaten in Visitacion Valley
An 89-year-old great-grandmother succumbed to her injuries Friday after a year in the hospital following a January 2019 beating in a park near her home in Visitacion Valley.
Yik Oi Huang, also known as Huang Popo, died Friday, and as KRON 4 reports, her family is saying that they want her to be remembered for the "love that she [had] for everyone." The 89-year-old had suffered brutal injuries in the beating, which occurred while she was exercising at the Visitacion Valley Playground last January. As family members write in a GoFundMe post, "She suffered through the massive pain and had been clinging for her life courageously."
Huang had spent much of the last year at Laguna Honda Hospital after suffering facial and brain injuries, and a skull fracture, as KPIX reports.
Huang's suspected attacker, 19-year-old Keonte Gathron, is expected to appear in court Monday, as the Examiner reports. He has been awaiting trial since his February 2019 arrest, and the charges against him may be upgraded to murder following Huang's death.
An event was previously planned, prior to Huang's passing, on the morning of January 8, to mark the one-year anniversary of the beating. Called the Healing through Compassion and Solidarity Silent Sit-In, that will still occur on Wednesday from 7:30 to 10 a.m. at the Visitacion Valley Playground at 325 Leland Avenue.

Died: June 4, 1951, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Alternate/ Birth Name :Sergei Aleksandrovich Koussevitzky. His forename is transliterated into English as either Sergei or Serge and his surname is transliterated as variously Koussevitzky, Koussevitzky, Kussevitzky or, into Polish as Kusewicki.
Birthplace: Vyshniy Volochek, Russia
Mother: nee Anna Barabeichik (Vorobeichik) (D. 1877)
Father: Aleksandrovich Koussevitzky
Sibling: 3 Siblings, 2 Brothers and 1 sister
Sister: Anna Koussevitzky (B. 1866)
Brother: Adolf Koussevitzky
Brother: Nicholas Koussevitzky
Profession: He was a Russian-born Jewish conductor, composer and double-bassist, known for his long tenure as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra
Education: Since his parents in the music profession, Koussevitzky's early teachers were his parents and taught him violin, cello, piano and trumpet at an early age. This was followed by piano lessons by Maria Fedorovna Ropenberg who became Koussevitzky's guardian after his mother's death.Legend has it that Koussevitzky ran away from home at age fourteen to study in Moscow, but that is only partly correct. Koussevitzky did take private cello lessons in Moscow but he seldom stayed there more than a night. Koussevitzky had first applied for admission at the Imperial Moscow Conservatory but was told to reapply in the spring probably because of his Jewish backgroud.However, instead the impatient Koussevitzky applied for admission at the School of the Moscow Philharmonic Society, where he was given the same reply. This time Koussevitzky would not take no for an answer and the strong-willed youth managed to convince the director, Pyotr Adamovich Shostakovsky, of his desire and his merit. Since the penniless Koussevitzky could not afford the tuition he was given the choice to study either trombone or double bass, both of which came with a scholarship and a stipend. He received this scholarship becasue students seldom choose these instruments. Koussevitzky choose the double bass and studied double bass with Josef Rambusek and music theory. He excelled at the bass, joining the Bolshoi Theatre orchestra at age twenty and succeeding his teacher as the principal bassist at twenty-seven.
Childhood: He was born into a musical but poor family where his his father played either violin or double bass (possibly both), his mother was a pianist. Koussevitzky's parents due to their profession taught him violin, cello, piano and trumpet at an early age.It is said that during his childhood he used to take some spare chairs and then stand on a box leading the musicians. His path took him to becoming one of the great double bass soloists with a remarkable cello like quality to his playing that emphasized beauty of sound. When Koussevitzky was just three years old his mother died and the children were faced with the strict discipline of his father though all this mellowed At age eight Koussevitzky came under the guardianship of a local woman named Maria Fedorovna Ropenberg. She came as a boon to who not only mitigated the elder Koussevitzky's harshness, but also continued Koussevitzky 's piano lessons which were started by his mother initailly. Soon afterward he began composing music for the local theater and by the time he was twelve years old was touring with the theater troupe throughout the local district. He was a Jew by birth but was baptized at the age of 14 as Jews weren't allowed to live in Moscow and he had received a scholarship to the Musico-Dramatic Institute of the Moscow Philharmonic.
First Break:In 1908, Koussevitzky made his professional debut as a conductor, hiring and leading a concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Spouse : Serge first got married with Nadezhda Galat (1902),she was a dancer and then Koussevitzky divorced his first wife and then he married to Natalie Ushkov, the daughter of an extremely wealthy tea merchant, in 1905.
First Wife:Nadezhda Petrovna Galat (ballet dancer, divorced 1905)
Second Wife: Nataliia Konstantinovna Ushkova (1881-1942) (marriage 1905 Aug 17)

Harriet Brower's Account For Serge Koussevitzky
In the official biographies of Serge Alexandrovitch Koussevitzky you will find that the boss of the Boston Symphony learned the art and mystery of conducting at the Royal Hochschule in Berlin under the great Artur Nikisch, but in this town
there lives and breathes a rather well-known Russian pianist who tells a different story.
Long ago, says this key-tickler, when he was a youth, he was hired by Koussevitzky, then also a young fellow, to play the piano scores of the entire standard symphony repertoire.
He pounded away by the hour, the day and the week, while Koussevitzky conducted, watching himself in a set of three tall mirrors in a corner of the drawing room of his Moscow home.
The job lasted just about a year, and our pianist has never looked at a conductor since.
There's also an anecdote to the effect that, much earlier, when Serge was still a little boy in his small native town in the province of Tver, in northern Russia, he would arrange the parlor chairs in rows and, with some score open in front of him, conduct them. Once in a while he'd stop short and berate the chairs. Then little Serge's language was something awful.
Whether these stories are true or not, the fact remains that Mr. Koussevitzky became a conductor and a great one—one of the greatest. The yarn of the mirrors is the most credible of the lot, for the Russian batonist's platform appearance is so meticulous and his movements are so obviously studied to produce the desired effects that he seems to conduct before an imaginary pier glass.
For elegant tailoring he has no peer among orchestral chiefs, except, perhaps, Mr. Stokowski. It's a toss-up between the two. Both are as sleek as chromium statues. Mr. Stokowski, slim, lithe, romantic in a virile way, looks as a poet should look, but never does. Mr. Koussevitzky, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, extremely military and virile in a dramatic way, looks as a captain of dragoons in civvies should have looked but never did.
Mr. Koussevitzy's conductorial gestures are literally high, wide and handsome. His wing-spread, so to speak, is much larger than that of either Mr. Stokowski or Mr. Toscanini, and he has a greater repertoire of unpredictable motions than both of them put together. Time cannot wither, nor custom stale, the infinite variety of his shadow boxing.
Those who knew his history look upon Mr. Koussevitzky's joyous, unrestrained gymnastics with tolerant eyes. They realize that, for years, he was forced to hide his fine figure and athletic prowess from thousands of potential admirers.
For Mr. Koussevitzky, before he became a conductor, was a world-famous performer on the double bass, that big growling brute of an instrument popularly known as the bull fiddle. In those days all that was visible of his impressive person was his head, one of his shoulders and his arms.
He didn't want to be a bull fiddler any more than you or you or you, and it's greatly to his credit and indicative of his iron will, consuming ambition and extraordinary musicianship that he developed, according to authoritative opinion, into the best bull fiddler of his time.
Here's what happened:
Serge was the son of a violinist who scratched away for a meager living in a third-rate theatre orchestra. The boy, intensely musical, wished to be a fiddler like his father. When he was fourteen, his family gave him their blessing, which was all they had to give, and sent him to Moscow to try for a scholarship at the Philharmonic School.
He arrived with three rubles in his pocket. At the school he was told that the only available scholarship was one in bull fiddling. Serge tried for it and won. He was, so far as is known, the first musician to make the barking monster into a solo instrument.
An overburdened troubadour, he dragged the cumbersome thing all over Russia and played it in recitals with amazing success. In 1903, when Mr. Koussevitzky was twenty-nine (he's sixty-eight now but looks a mettlesome fifty), the Czar decorated him—the only instance in history of a decoration bestowed for bull fiddling.
That same year, while giving a concert in Moscow, the virtuoso happened to look into the audience and his eyes met those of a stunning brunette in the front row. The owner of the lovely eyes, Natalya Konstantinova Ushkova, became his wife two years later.
Natalya, the daughter of a wealthy merchant and a rich girl in her own right, promised him anything he wanted for a wedding gift. "Give me a symphony orchestra." was Koussevitzky's startling request. The bride was taken aback, for it was with the bull fiddle that he had wooed and won her and she hated to see him give it up, but she kept her word.
Now here is where our old pianist comes in. It was at that time, he says, that Mr. Koussevitzky sent for him and began an intensive course of study before the triple mirror.
A year or so later Natalya hired eighty-five of the best musicians in Moscow. After a season of rehearsals Mr. Koussevitzky took his band on tour aboard a steamer—a little gift from his father-in-law.
They rode up and down the Volga. Every evening the vessel—a sort of musical showboat—tied up at a different city, town or village and the orchestra gave a concert, often before peasants and small-town folk who had never heard symphony music before. In seven years Mr. Koussevitzky and his men traveled some 3,000 miles.
Came the revolution. Kerensky ordered Koussevitzy and his men: "Keep up with your music." They did, but it wasn't easy. It was a terribly severe winter; the country was in the killing grip of cold and famine.
Koussevitzky and his players starved for weeks on end. The boss conducted in mittens. The men wore mittens, too, but they had holes in them, so they could finger the strings and keys of their instruments.
The Bolsheviks made Mr. Koussevitzky director of the state orchestras which, in those early Soviet days, were at low musical ebb. He labored in that job for three years, from 1917 to 1920, but he was out of sympathy with the Lenin-Trotzky regime and asked permission to leave the country. It was refused because officials said, "Russia needs your music."
The fiery Koussevitzky told the Government that, unless he were allowed to travel abroad, he'd never play or conduct another note in Russia. They let him go.
Mr. Koussevitzky says that the Bolsheviks robbed him of about a million in money, land and other property. In illustration of the state of things that impelled him to leave his native land, he likes to tell this story:
A minor Bolshevik official came in one day to check up on the affairs of the orchestra. "Who are those people?" he asked, pointing to a group of players at the conductor's left. "Those," said Koussevitzky, "are the first violins."
"And those over there?" asked the inspector, indicating a group at the conductor's right. "The second violins," was the reply.
"What!" yelled the official. "Second violins in a Soviet state orchestra? Clear them out!"
Mr. Koussevitzky went to Paris, where he conducted a series of orchestral concerts and performances of Moussorgsky's "Boris Godounoff" and Tschaikowsky's "Pique Dame" at the Opera. Between 1921 and 1924 he also appeared in Barcelona, Rome and Berlin. In Paris he established a music publishing house (still in existence), which issued the works of such modern Russian composers as Stravinsky, Scriabine, Medtner, Prokofieff and Rachmaninoff.
In 1924, the offer of a $50,000 salary and the opportunity of rebuilding the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which had sadly deteriorated since the days of Dr. Karl Muck, lured him to this country.
American customs, he now admits, at first appalled him. He was amazed to find musicians smoking in intermissions at rehearsals and concert. This he called "an insult to art." He forbade smoking. The players raised an unholy rumpus, but Koussevitzky persisted. The men haven't taken a puff in Symphony Hall since that time.
The next unpopular move he made was to fire a number of the old standbys who had sat in the orchestra for most of its forty-four-year history. "I vant yongk blott!" he cried in his then still very thick accent. "If dose old chentlemen vant to sleep, let dem sleep in deir houses!"
The Boston music lovers didn't like it. To them the Symphony is a sacred cow and they regarded the older members in the light of special pets. But when, at the opening of the new season, they heard a brilliant, completely rejuvenated orchestra, they forgave the new conductor. Since then, he has restored the Symphony to its old-time glory. Today Beacon Hill has no greater favorite than Serge Alexandrovitch Koussevitzky.
The orchestra men, too, learned to like him. They discovered that, with all his public histrionics, he was on the level as a musician. He is a merciless task master, but in rehearsals he gives himself no airs. Dressed in an old pair of pants and a disreputable brown woolen sweater, which he has worn in private since the day he landed in Boston, he works like a stevedore. When he, the pants and the sweater had been with the Symphony ten years, the men gave him a testimonial dinner.
Next to Mr. Toscanini he's the world's most temperamental conductor, but he has the ability to keep himself in check—when he wants to. "Koussevitzky," says Ernest Newman, the eminent English music critic, "has a volcanic temperament, yet never have I known it to run away with him. It is precisely when his temperament is at the boiling point that his hand on the regulator is steadiest."
At a concert in Carnegie Hall four years ago he gave a dramatic demonstration of self-control. He was conducting Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," when smoke from an incinerator fire in a neighboring building penetrated the hall. The smoke grew dense. People rose, rushed for the exits in near-panic. Women screamed.
He stopped the orchestra, turned to the audience, held up his hand and shouted:
"Come back! Sit down! Sit down—all of you! Everything is all right!"
The customers meekly resumed their seats. Mr. Koussevitzky swung 'round and continued playing Debussy's brooding, sensuous dreampiece as if nothing had happened.
Because he has done so much, both as conductor and publisher, for living composers (he is the high priest of the Sibelius cult), he has been called a modernist. The label infuriates him.
"Nonsense!" he snarls. "I'm not a modernist and I'm not a classicist. I'm a musician! The first movement of the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven is the greatest music ever written and George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' is a masterpiece."
"There you are! Make the best of it!"

HAMILTON, Bermuda -- November 06, 2008
Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) ("Textainer"), the world's
largest lessor of intermodal containers based on fleet size, today
reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Total revenues for the quarter increased by $4.4 million, or 7%, to $69.7
million compared to $65.3 million in the prior year quarter primarily due
to a $2.3 million, or 5%, increase in lease rental income to $50.9 million
compared to $48.6 million in the prior year quarter. EBITDA(1) for the
quarter increased by $2.7 million, or 6%, to $45.4 million compared to
$42.7 million in the prior year quarter.
Net income excluding unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps,
net(1) for the quarter was $24.0 million, an 11% increase over the $21.5
million earned in the prior year quarter. Net income per diluted common
share excluding unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, net(1)
for the quarter was $0.50 per share, an 11% decrease from the $0.56 per
share in the prior year quarter. Textainer's higher number of weighted
average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the
prior year quarter, which did not reflect the additional shares issued in
Textainer's initial public offering completed in the fourth quarter of
2007, contributed to a decrease in Textainer's net income per diluted
common share excluding unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps,
net. Net income for the quarter was $24.6 million, a 27% increase over the
prior year quarter. Textainer's net income per diluted common share
increased by $0.01 per share, or 2%, to $0.51 per share for the third
quarter of 2008 from $0.50 per share in the prior year quarter.
There were three significant items that impacted income before income tax
and minority interest expense during the third quarter of 2008. First,
Textainer has experienced a significant increase in container resale
prices over the last few years as a result of (i) a lower number of
containers available for sale due to higher utilization and (ii) the
increased cost of new containers. Based on this extended period of higher
realized container resale prices and Textainer's expectation that new
equipment prices will remain near current levels, Textainer increased the
estimated future residual values of its containers used in the calculation
of depreciation expense during the third quarter of 2008. The effect of
this change for the third quarter of 2008 was a reduction in depreciation
expense of $3.6 million. Second, Textainer's gain on lost military
containers, net decreased by $4.2 million to $0.5 million compared to $4.6
million in the prior year quarter due to the U.S. military reporting fewer
lost containers during the third quarter of 2008. Finally, bad debt
expense, net increased $2.2 million to $2.5 million compared to $0.3
million in the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in
Textainer's allowance for doubtful accounts resulting from the
bankruptcies of two of its customers.
"I am very pleased with our third quarter 2008 results. Overall demand for
our containers through September remained strong. Textainer's utilization
increased by almost 3% to 97% from the second quarter of 2008 to the third
quarter of 2008," commented John A. Maccarone, President and CEO of
Textainer.
As previously announced, in July, Textainer Marine Containers Limited
("TMCL"), Textainer's primary asset owning subsidiary, extended and
increased the size of its secured debt facility. The secured debt facility
was extended over an initial two-year revolving period, and the total
commitment under the secured debt facility was increased from $300 million
to $475 million.
Mr. Maccarone added, "We are extremely pleased to have been able to extend
and increase the size of TMCL's securitization facility. Given the current
challenging conditions in the credit markets in general, and the
asset-backed market in particular, we believe that the success of this
transaction demonstrates the participating banks' strong confidence and
commitment to Textainer."
"The successful completion of this transaction strengthens our liquidity
position. We believe that this facility, as well as Textainer Limited's
previously-announced $205 million, five-year revolving credit agreement,
will help to ensure that we have access to the financing necessary to
position Textainer for future growth."
The current downturn in the world's major economies and the constraints in
the credit markets are expected to cause containerized cargo volume growth
to slow or become negative on some trade routes. Typically slow or
negative growth in containerized cargo volume leads to surplus containers,
lower utilization, higher direct costs (mainly storage costs) and weaker
shipping lines going out of business.
Although Textainer's utilization is currently at 97%, Textainer has been
advised by some of its customers that they currently plan to reduce the
size of their container fleets because of lower cargo volumes. At the same
time, we anticipate that available container ship capacity worldwide will
expand by 10-12% in 2009, which would typically contribute to lower
freight rates. We have already noticed that some of our customers have
concluded that it would be more cost-effective to lease in-fleet
containers than to either buy containers at higher prices or lease new
containers. As a result, we expect that the extension of leases on
in-fleet containers will become a more important area of focus for
Textainer in 2009. We expect that leasing of in-fleet containers will
continue to be attractive to shipping lines seeking to reduce operating
costs because of declining freight rates.
Our long-term strategy is to grow both organically and through
acquisitions. We believe the factors noted above would likely result in
several potential acquisition opportunities. As a result of renewing,
amending and expanding our credit facilities earlier this year, Textainer
had over $400 million of liquidity with its credit facilities and
available cash and low leverage relative to past levels. Despite the great
difficulty in projecting future results in our current economic
environment, we intend to actively seek acquisition opportunities that we
believe would be accretive in the months ahead.
Another possible area for growth is the sale and leaseback of
customer-owned containers. We expect that these sale and leaseback
transactions would help free up cash for our customers to use for their
other needs, such as vessel financing. We also expect that these sale and
leaseback transactions would allow Textainer to buy attractively priced
older containers and place them on leases for the remainder of their
marine service lives. We intend to pursue several such opportunities.
We intend to focus on keeping utilization as high as possible during the
current economic downturn by promoting the extension of leases for
in-fleet containers. We believe that we are very well positioned to
capitalize on attractive opportunities in acquisitions, sale-leasebacks
and long-term lease transactions.
On November 4, 2008, Textainer's board of directors approved and declared
a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share on Textainer's issued and
outstanding common shares, payable on November 26, 2008 to shareholders of
record as of November 17, 2008. This dividend is unchanged from the second
quarter 2008 as Textainer takes a cautious approach until it can gauge the
effect of uncertain global economic conditions.
