...DIED. ISAAC STERN, 81, classical violinist who played everything from Bartok to Bach in his own impassioned style; of heart failure; in New York City. He practiced obsessively. "I have begged him not to play so much," manager Sol Hurok told the New York Times in 1959. "I tell him, 'The less you play, the longer you will play.' It does no good." Stern was a generous teacher who mentored and encouraged cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman and pianist Emanuel Ax (see Eulogy, below...
...regions now mix so much demand with such "underconnected, underserviced, uncompetitive markets," says Isaac Lee, editor of the Latin American e-business magazine Poder (formerly Punto-com).

She had really done well by taking care of things. It helped...
...Frontman Isaac Brock’s endearingly whiny voice and distinct guitar sound remain, but something seems amiss in Everywhere—as if the energy has been sucked completely dry from Modest Mouse. Brian Deck’s production removes the edge and luster from the Modest Mouse sound, leaving the band sounding too dull and warm. The first track, “Willful Suspension of Disbelief,” starts ethereally with a falsetto “everywhere” layered over and over in the background, but this soon proves mind-numbing rather than inspiring.
