California Divorce Can Be, But Need Not Be, Destructive
As a San Diego Divorce attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist, I constantly read articles published in my field. There is an in depth article about the Jamie and Frank McCourt California divorce which is ongoing at this time. The article was published by ESPN The Magazine and written by Molly Knight. It should be must reading for anyone about to get a divorce. The lessons of the McCourt case apply to all. There are just several zeros missing from the average Californian's divorce and the McCourt's case; however the issues are the same.
Jamie and Frank McCourt own the LA Dodgers. They had a humble wedding in their apartment in 1979. A Rabbi played the piano. Since that date they have amassed millions (billions?) through their relationship--their mutual trust--their hard work combined with their talents. Marriage requires trust. When it works, a couple can do almost anything.
After this incredible history, the article put together by Ms. Knight, describes how Jamie McCourt learned of her Husband's decision to end the marriage through a 405 word e-mail message starting with "Dear Jamie". Now their case is headed towards a Family Law trial. Here are some thoughts:
If you have children: Prior to reaching this point spend some time in counseling. Either secular or church marriage counseling. During the marriage find some way to stay grounded. How did this humble couple become so insensitive to each other that those around them passed on rumors of their fights? And a marriage ending with a CEO like e-mail? Working together to make vast sums of money is great and an inspiration to others; however, trouble begins when the importance of the money supersedes people and relationships.

Fishy crop circles
These images although they look like underwater crop circles or something from another planet, are images from the sea bed 80 feet below off the coat of Japan, they were discovered by underwater photographer Joji Ookata .
He discovered a mysterious 6.5 ft. wide circle precisely carved from sand. Joji decided to come back with a TV crew to figure out this strange phenomenon.
The cameras revealed that the culprit was a few-inch long pufferfish, creating the sand sculptures by swimming tirelessly and using its single fin. The team figured that this is how the female fish attract the males, and the centre of the circle is where the eggs are laid. The riffles then serve as a protective buffer against ocean currents. In fact, the more riffles a fish makes, the more chances it has to find a partner.

We have already seen loads of patent infringement cases filed internationally involving companies like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Apple, Nokia and others.
We now have the first major case specific to Indian market involving an Indian manufacturer of Android devices.
Ericsson has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Micromax claiming that they are violating their patents related to GSM, EDGE and 3G technologies.
Micromax is one of the largest local vendor of smartphones and tablets in the Indian market. So they are indeed the most likely target. We imagine, next in line could be players like Karbonn and Lava.
Ericsson is asking for Rs. 100 crores in damages.

Saturday's weather was sunny and beautiful, but for hundreds of Quinnipiac University students, staff and alumni, it was spent doing work at a number of area sites for the annual "Big Event"
More than 1,300 undergraduate students, 102 graduate students and 29 faculty and staff members registered to roll up their sleeves for volunteer projects at 93 sites as part of "The Big Event."
The students, staff and faculty worked at sites in and around Hamden, as well as in Branford, East Haven, Meriden, Middletown, Milford, New Haven, North Haven, Oxford, Shelton, Southington, Wallingford, Waterbury, West Haven and Woodbridge.
In Hamden, about a dozen students painted and spruced up the basement at Grace and St. Peter's Episcopal Church on Dixwell Avenue, where the church holds its weekly Friday evening
"It's wonderful," said Allison Batson, the church's education director and Dinner for a Dollar coordinator. "They were here on time and have been really doing a great job."
Students also did work in a number of other Hamden sites, including clean-ups on Skiff Street along Kohls; on Putnam Avenue by Stop and Shop; at the Keefe Community Center and the playground there; at St. Ann's Soup Kitchen; Hamden Middle School; Shepherd Glen School; Bear Path School; the Children's Center; Sleeping Giant State Park; Whitney Center; Hamden/North Haven YMCA and the Pardee Rose Garden.
In addition, 80 Quinnipiac alumni worked at eight locations in Boston, Bridgeport, Hoboken, N.J., Los Angeles, New Haven, New York City and Providence, R.I.
"It's an opportunity for students at Quinnipiac to give back to our community and show our appreciation," said Amy Solomon, a freshman and an event organizer. "It's the chance to be part of something great."
"This event gives our alumni the opportunity to work toward the same goal as our students, faculty and staff," said Kimberly Evans, associate director of alumni affairs and an event participant.
This is the third year Quinnipiac has held The Big Event, which began at Texas A&M University 29 years ago.

With its release only two weeks off, the $40-million Sharon Stone-William Baldwin movie "Sliver" has received an R rating after Paramount Pictures toned down numerous scenes to please the Motion Picture Assn. of America ratings board.
The steaminess of the film, which depicts a voyeur training his camera on tenants of a Manhattan apartment building, had prompted the ratings board to initially recommend 110 editing changes to escape an NC-17 (no one under 17 admitted) rating. After arguing their case, director Phillip Noyce and producer Robert Evans agreed to make at least 15 changes to satisfy the ratings board, sources said. No entire scenes have been removed. People younger than 17 can see R rated films with a parent or adult guardian.

Cheap Eats Atlanta, Milledgeville & in between
My boyfriend and I are traveling between Atlanta and Milledgeville next week and are looking for cheap, tasty food. We'd love any recommendations near Emory (or easily accessible from Emory by MARTA) and in or near Milledgeville. We'll have a car but we'll be on a tight budget. We're adventurous eaters & we especially like Mexican, BBQ, any spicy Asian food, and hippie-ish places w/vegetarian offerings. cheap breakfast recs near Emory would be greatly appreciated too.
The emory area has all sorts of stuff within 10 miles or so; I go through Milledgeville frequently, and there are a couple of places that have caught my eye for a moment or two, I haven't heard of anything so great as to warrant a stop. Just north of Milledgeville there is a the fairly new second location of the "Old Clinton Barbecue", not sure if it is as good as the original (located just south of the nearby town of Gray), but if it is, it would definitely be worth a stop.
As far as between the two places, are you going out I-20 and then down Hwy 441 (a common route) or going down Hwy 212 through Monticello? There are a couple of good places in Madison, Adrian's is meat-and-three place about a half mile off the town square that is cheaper, and IMHO, much better than the places on the square that feed all the tourists.
BTW, if you go through Monticello, stop and eat at the Dairy Queen. No joke.

Work will be done in the main plant's coker unit, a crude distillation unit and one of the sulfur plants, the person said.
The 600,000 barrel-a-day refinery is a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) and Saudi Arabian Oil Co.

|Ex-Perrysburg doctor gets three years in prison
|Written by By BILL RYAN/Sentinel Staff Writer
|Friday, 01 February 2013 14:46
Is the doctor just a bad businesswoman or a wily criminal?
On Friday morning Judge Alan Mayberry decided the former medical doctor, Stacey Royal, should spend three years in prison for her criminal convictions.
The 47-year-old Royal formerly operated a medical treatment facility in Perrysburg. She pleaded guilty in 2010 to two counts of telecommunications fraud, four cases of insurance fraud, four counts of theft and the most serious charge of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony. A jury trial was in its fourth day, when she stopped the proceedings to enter her guilty plea to the charges.
The charges involved consistent and frequent fraudulent billing practices to insurance companies over an extended period of time.
At sentencing she was placed on community control sanctions to allow her to become gainfully employed and begin paying restitution totaling nearly $200,000, a $10,000 fine, as well as court costs.
According to Mayberry in issuing his sentence, she has not paid a dime to any of the costs, fine or restitution in more than two years.
"I don't see any reason to have false hope for you to see the light to have another chance at community control," Mayberry told Royal.
He described her actions as being "as far as possible from your oath as a doctor in the court's opinion."
After being placed on the community control sanctions in 2010, Royal has now been found guilty twice of violating those rules.
After the first violation, the judge allowed her to remain free. However, her second violation involved defrauding a Pennsylvania innkeeper of funds for a room Royal was renting at the facility. She served 90 days in a local jail for that crime. That resulted in the second infraction of her sanctions through Wood County.
Her defense attorney, William Hayes, spoke at length regarding his recent involvement with Royal and her case. Rather than portray her as a criminal, he described her as a bad businesswoman.
"Even though she was a doctor for 15 years, there is a lack of business sense. She lacks the capability to manage her finances," Hayes told the judge.
The defense attorney suggested a treatment facility in Toledo could teach her the "life skills" she lacks. Adding, "She needs to learn that all the rules apply to her."
During her 2010 trial it was revealed she multiple billed insurance companies for the same service, billed for services not provided and in one case billed for a surgery she did not perform. Interestingly, she only looked in on that patient prior to the surgery yet submitted a bill larger than the surgeon's who performed the operation. Many of the fraudulent claims were submitted on behalf of her husband and other family members.
At her trial, Anthony Van Noy, her attorney at the time, also raised issues regarding Royal's practical abilities.
Van Noy told the jurors. "It is not fraud, she just didn't know what the heck she was doing."
She was accused of billing more than $900,000 in excessive, inaccurate or otherwise fraudulent claims, with the restitution ordered to recoup losses paid and not recovered.
When given the opportunity to speak, Royal asked her attorney to read a letter she had prepared, saying, "I am too emotional to speak."
In the letter she thanked the judge and apologized to the people of Ohio, Pennsylvania and the federal government for her crimes which have cost the taxpayers dearly.
"My actions and criminal behavior is unacceptable," Hayes read from her letter. "We are held to a higher standard."
She asked the judge for mercy and to forgive her and give her the opportunity to pay restitution.
Aaron Lindsey, an assistant prosecutor for Wood County, took a different view of the defendant.
He characterized her behavior as not being a matter of having bad business skills, bur rather, "it was criminal."
He noted the fraudulent claims submitted and that as someone who earned her medical degrees she was "not overwhelmed by the operation of the world."
Lindsey added, "This second probation violation was worse than the first," noting the first violation involved not reporting her address among other violations.
The judge called her first violation arose because she "absconded from supervision."
Lindsey also said the treatment suggested by the defense attorney was not a viable option. The facility was contacted by the probation department and they indicated they do not have a program to help her.
The judge reimposed all the costs, fine and restitution from her original sentence, and ordered three years in prison for the engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, two years in prison for two telecommunication fraud charges, as well as for the third-degree insurance fraud and theft convictions. He also ordered one year in prison for each of the six fourth-degree felony charges, three each involving theft and insurance fraud. All sentences are to be served concurrently for the three-year aggregate total.

It can be hard to manage your personal finances, and it can bring on some stress. When you gain knowledge about the subject though, it's easier to deal with money. This article will show you how to manage your personal finances effectively.
Credit Score
Don't waste money on lottery tickets. Put the money in your savings account instead. You will then know the money will be there and grow instead of flushing your money away!
Work hard to obtain a high credit score. It is terribly important to maintain a high credit score in order to get low interest loans and credit cards. If you let your credit score get low, you may have trouble renting a place to live and getting a good utility or cell phone plan. Only take out credit that you will be able to afford and be timely with, to get your rating higher.
Use past mistakes as a learning experience. If it took you two or three years to eliminate your credit card debt, that experience could dissuade you from making the error of falling back into debt again. Perhaps you spent many years working for less money than you should have; the lesson here is that you should negotiate a higher salary for your next position. As you review your history of personal finances in your mind's eye, realize that every lesson you can learn from your experiences is worthwhile. If you've made financial mistakes in the past, use them as learning experiences to improve your future decisions.
Know the value of things you save or have around the house. People often have things of great value that they think are not worth anything, and they throw it out. If someone sells a classic piece of furniture for its true value, rather than throwing it out, their personal finances stand to improve.
Be wary of making investment choices based off of past performances alone. Monitor the returns generated by each of your investments. If one particular company consistently fails to perform, it may be time to put your money into more lucrative stocks.
Start saving as soon as you can to better your personal finances. Stop delaying saving and instead, make it your priority. Your attitude towards saving should be the same as paying a bill. Think of it as a requirement. By paying yourself first, you will gradually accrue a financial safety net.
Speak with your friends and family about the situation that you are in and ask for their help. This way, you will not feel bad when they try to invite you out when you could not afford it. By being honest, your friends will not think you are mad at them when you cannot go to dinner. Clue your friends in as to your financial situation – this way they will be better able to understand what you are going through.
As you can see, dealing with money matters takes a bit of discipline and can be stressful. When you learn good financial management strategies, you can cut through that stress at the same time that you gain control of your money. The preceding article was written to teach you how to minimize your stress and move forward with confidence to deal with your financial issues.
It is not uncommon for a person to slip up when managing his or her finances. If you mistakenly overdraft your bank account, you can request a waiver of the fee that is charged. This most likely will only work if you otherwise have a good banking history, and this only typically works one time.

About Me Semi-pro Photographer
I enjoyed it for a week until Nikon sent a service recall notice...so for the last week (week two of my ownership) Nikon has it and they can't tell me when I will get it back...frustrating. I love the photos I have taken so far. Great capabilities!
Great quality for great price!
By Schz
from Saint Louis, MO
This is my first digital SLR camera. I was looking for a camera to take high quality pictures for my models and art work. So far it's done a magnificent job. It is easy to use and photo quality is great. I love the rich colors in my pictures. It is very similar to the D90, but has less custom settings. The video quality is great and it's fairly easy to use as well. The only bad thing about the video is that you constantly have to focus when zooming in and out. It does not happen automatically.

Well the day has finally arrived— no, not Thanksgiving or Black Friday—the day before Thanksgiving: AKA the biggest bar night of the year. When I was first told this I was surprised solely because it seems a little incongruous. Then I recalled holidays past, and hours upon hours spent with relatives. Even just typing that makes me want a drink. Who's with me!? Don't get me wrong, I love those people who share the same blood as me, but sometimes you just need to get the hell out of there! So as you can imagine, there will be a lot of bars open tonight; I'll list a few favorites. And then perhaps you are wondering what to do once you're done with the gorging yourself on Thursday. Well, I got you covered in that department too. FEAR NOT!
White Wednesday November 21
1. Brian Boru: Ho-Down with North of Nashville. Also open on Thanksgiving!
2. Empire Dine & Dance: Clash of the Titans: The Beach Boys vs The Monkees
3. The Big Easy: Rap Night! My favorite night of the week!
4. Flask Lounge: Pre-Thanksgiving Party
Weekend Events
1. Maine State Ballet's The Nutcracker
Yessss, holiday ballet season is finally here! Head out to the Maine State Ballet to see the traditional and family favorite show The Nutcracker. According to their website, tickets are $60-20…not sure what that means but both prices are reasonably affordable, and it's sure to be a great show.
When: Saturday, November 24 – Sunday, December 2
Where: Merrill Auditorium, 20 Myrtle Street, Portland
Spencer Albee & Co. celebrate the tenth anniversary of the first time they covered The Beatles. Tickets are $20 and the show will be at the State. Ten years. Thats a long time to cover a band. That's like spending one day yearly for ten years dressing up as Gandolf and charging people $20 to watch you smoke a wooden pipe and give advice on which side of the forked road you should take. Does that make sense? Probably not. I'm excited regardless.
When: Saturday, November 24
Where: State Theater, 609 Congress St, Portland
3. Black Friday in Downtown Portland
In honor of consumerism, 25 great Portland businesses have contributed coupons for Black Friday. This is a great idea for those of you who don't want to put a foot in the direction of the mall.
When: Friday, November 23
Where: Various participating Portland venues
4. Shop Local Holiday Flea-for-All
November 23-25 Portland's Flea-for-All will be having Black Friday & Shop Small Business Saturday. This means three floors of art, vintage clothes, and a bunch of other great stuff. Get your twee, cutesy shit here.
When: Friday, November 23-25
Where: 125 Kennebec St, Portland
5. Moonlight Madness in Freeport
No, this will not be a bunch of red-eyed Twilight fans running around dressed as vampires in the moonlight….not that anyone else had that visual when first reading "Moonlight Madness"…. uh, anyway, each year Freeport and all its glorious retail occupants host a party-of-sorts that includes treats, contest, prizes, and stupidly awesome shopping deals. I'll be there tweeting live dressed as a Twilight fan dressed as a vampire. Sike. How did I make this post about Twilight? GO TO FREEPORT EVERYONE!
When: Thursday, November 23-Friday, November 24
Where: Freeport, ME
6. Black Friday at The Maine Mall
You would have to drag me here kicking and screaming. What? Going to the only mall in Maine on the craziest shopping day of the year sounds as torturous as being sung the Twilight series aloud by William Hung. Whatever. If fighting over the last Volcom shirt from PacSun at 3:30am with your teeny-bopper nemesis is what you're into, THEN GO TO THE MAINE MALL ON BLACK FRIDAY.
When: Thursday, November 23-Friday, November 24
Where: The Maine Mall, Maine (if you can guess)

We do like it when brands do their bit for charity. So we were happy to hear that denim label, Citizens of Humanity have commissioned tattooist to the stars, Mark Mahoney and Michelin-starred chef, Michel Rostang to design a tee and, rather suitably, a denim apron – the proceeds of each going to charities of their choice. Mahoney has chosen Homeboy Industries, an organisation which provides hope, job training and support for former gang members, and Rostang's is La Bonne Etoile, a charity that helps abandoned children in Vietnam. Both worthy causes if you ask us. To mark the occasion the label have released their latest batch of films in their philanthropic series, 'Just Like You', which focus on both Mahoney and Rostang talking about their passion for what they do.

The Tribune-Star
Alison West, a music teacher at West Vigo and Ouabache elementary schools, was among the large group of teachers who attended Tuesday's Rally for Public Education in Indianapolis.
Hundreds of Indiana teachers swarmed the Indiana Statehouse to denounce sweeping education proposals backed by Republicans who control the House and Senate. Many teachers object to proposals from GOP Gov. Mitch Daniels, including restrictions on collective bargaining, merit pay for teachers and vouchers that would direct taxpayer money to private schools.
In her third year of teaching, West believed it was important to attend because "I don't feel public school teachers are being heard right now," she said in a telephone interview after the rally had concluded.
"It's kind of sad when state leaders don't tell you that you are doing a good job and want to change everything you are doing when you feel you are doing the best you can," she said. "I care about my job and what I'm doing. I want them to listen to those of us who are in schools every day and want what's best for our kids and our public schools."
She's concerned the public may not understand how serious the consequences could be for public schools if the changes supported by Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels become law.
"All they [the public] hear are state leaders eloquently putting us down," West said. "I feel I want to be heard as well."
The rally was "amazing," she said, and she couldn't believe all the teachers and their supporters who attended. "It was comforting to know we're all standing together," she said.
She wants people to know that "public schools care so much about your children and we want what's best for them and we need support from the public. We don't do it for ourselves — we do it for the kids."
Sande Bemis, an English teacher at Riverton Parke Junior-Senior High School, also attended the rally.
She has taught 32 years and is close to retiring, but she's concerned about the future of public education in Indiana. She has grandchildren in the Vigo County School Corp.
She's concerned about several proposals, including restrictions on collective bargaining and expansion of charter schools.
Many of the legislators backing the changes "are giving the impression that schools are not effective at all. Suddenly, they have become experts on education without most of them having been in the classroom," she said. "We are very concerned they are trying to destroy public education without having a working knowledge of what is going on in public education."
With regard to a potential expansion of charter schools, she suggests "there is absolutely no research showing charters are performing better than public schools."
She also has concerns that more charter schools will take money away from existing public schools. "We're fighting to keep our heads above water now with budget cuts," Bemis said.
She hopes the large show of teachers at the Statehouse "makes a big difference … I think it's critically important we take a stand and let them know teachers aren't just going to roll over and accept this."
Shane Grimes, ISTA Uniserv director who represents Vigo, Vermillion, Clay, Sullivan and parts of Knox County, was among those attending. He is a former teacher.
One of the messages teachers hoped to convey was that every child in Indiana has the right to a free public education, not a state-subsidized private education, he said. The state should not be funding private schools.
Teachers also hoped to convey that summer school, preschool and full-day kindergarten would be effective ways to improve student achievement, not vouchers, more charter schools or curtailment of collective bargaining, he said.

Louisa -- solid, steady, dependable. Clem -- younger, rebellious, daring, and the favorite. This is a story, told over 25 years, of two sisters -- opposite as night and day, oil and water, yin and yang -- and how they remain connected. In my opinion, this is Julia Glass' best book yet! -- Vicki McNeil, Watermark Book Co., Anacortes, WA
A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Year
Julia Glass, the bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of Three Junes, returns with a tender, riveting book of two sisters and their complicated relationship.
Louisa Jardine is the older one, the conscientious student, precise and careful: the one who yearns for a good marriage, an artistic career, a family. Clem, the archetypal youngest, is the rebel: committed to her work saving animals, but not to the men who fall for her. In this vivid, heartrending story of what we can and cannot do for those we love, the sisters grow closer as they move further apart. All told with sensual detail and deft characterization, I See You Everywhere is a candid story of life and death, companionship and sorrow, and the nature of sisterhood itself.

Praise for I See You Everywhere…
"Rich, intricate and alive with emotion.... An honest portrait of sister-love and sister-hate-interlocking, brave and forgiving-made whole through art." —The New York Times Book Review "Glass writes the sort of novels that you wish would go on forever.... I See You Everywhere is a lovely and heartbreaking book, and it ends far too soon." —The Miami Herald "Nowhere are the ebbs and flows, the complex and often ugly nuances, the bonds and the breaks between sisters more achingly or more piercingly explored." —USA Today "So heartbreakingly luminous that you'd swear Glass had access to your own most secret thoughts." —Redbook "Extraordinarily good.... Unusually rich and complex." —The Boston Globe "One doesn't read so much as sink into a Julia Glass novel.... A haunting dissection of human fragility." —People "Glass is Edith Wharton for the twenty-first century.... Wharton wrote more than forty-eight books in her lifetime. American literature could use a few more from Glass." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Sheer pleasure for readers who love stories about complicated family relationships." —San Francisco Chronicle

Bob Etchingham (CEO)
Bob had a vision for the forecourt industry when he set up Petrogas in 1992. After many years working as an economist to the industry his decision to strike out on his own was prompted by a deep understanding of where the industry needed to go. With the creation of the Applegreen brand in 2005 this vision really began to take shape and the company has since gone from strength to strength, culminating in Applegreen being awarded the contract to operate Irelands first motorway services in collaboration with the NRA.

the first death
"…superbly trained and disciplined warriors whose missions are compact, highly focused, usually swift, often secret, inescapably perilous, and – if successful – likely to pay off in big ways."
- Derek Leebaert
One year before Operation Bojinka was foiled by the Filipino version of a Benny Hill skit, Ramzi Yousef managed to come quite a bit closer to slaughtering several thousand civilians. Horrible harbinger to an attack that would occur less than a decade later, Yousef carried out the first plot against the New York City skyline's twin guardians in 1993.
Much like all of us, he wouldn't have gotten by without a little help from his friends.
And since a Domino's Pizza deliveryman doesn't fit the typical profile for an international terrorist, the JFK Airport immigration official who detained Ahmed Mohammad Ajaj must've been a bit surprised to discover that he was carrying a cornucopia of terrorist paraphernalia: How-To manuals and instructional videos on mixing explosives, detonators for those explosives, and a propaganda video showing the American Embassy in Kenya being suicide-bombed. One of these manuals carried on its cover a word that would soon become synonymous with international terrorism: al-Qaeda.
This paraphernalia, and the fact the picture on his suspicious Swedish passport was peeling off, was enough to cause the official to detain Mohammad Ajaj. But little did she know, Ajaj was only serving as a mule for Ramzi Yousef, who slipped by security after being disgorged from the same New York-bound flight in September of 1992. The $2,700 bribe to an official in Pakistan, his forged $100 passport, whatever money he spent on his silk suit, and the cover story Yousef had concocted about political persecution in Iraq all paid off – he was waved through immigration and into the heart of New York City, free to roam the streets as he pleased.
In addition to being a particularly clever illegal alien, Yousef, as it would turn out, was a remarkable man in many ways. But one of his friends noted that the most remarkable thing about him was "his apparent pleasure in learning about new languages, cultures, and peoples, then proceeding to blow them up."1
His first order of business was a tête-à-tête at Brooklyn's al-Kifah Refugee Center on Atlantic Avenue with the "Blind Sheikh," a radical cleric expelled from Egypt because of his suspected involvement in the 1981 assassination of Anwar Sadat. Sadat's assassination was a critical moment in the nucleation of Islamic fundamentalism which can – and will later – be used as a link to an uncanny amount of the terrorism carried out by modern terrorists.
The Blind Sheik himself, Omar Abdul-Rahman, holds a place of particular importance in the formation of modern Islamic extremism. In the parlance of the recent social theory which explains societal mass behavior as a finely-tuned orchestra of thresholds, he is a Connector.
This Tipping Point theory posits that social epidemics – be they fashion trends, fads, contagious diseases, or revolutions – hinge on the passage of information and behavioral habits through a system of discrete sets of people, who act either as Connectors, Salesmen, or Mavens. When this system magnifies a sufficient volume of material it hits a Tipping Point, and a new concept can sweep across an entire society. Sometimes this new concept is an ideology, the kind that fuel campaigns of terrorism.
So what's a Connector?
Connectors are the people who make parlor games like the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" possible.The name of that game originates from an experiment run by the most revolutionary social scientist of his time, Stanley Milgram, who in the late 1960s mailed identical packets to one-hundred and sixty randomly selected people in Omaha, Nebraska.
In the packet was the name of a stockbroker living in Boston, who Milgram had selected at random. Each person who received the packet was asked to write their name on it, and then mail it on to someone they knew who they thought might get the packet closer to the stockbroker. Without the stockbroker's exact street address, they were forced to mail it to someone they knew, who they figured might know the stockbroker. Or at least someone who would then send the packet on to someone they knew, who in turn might actually know the stockbroker in Boston.
Milgram discovered that most of the packets made their way to the stockbroker in five or six steps, which is where we get the concept of "six degrees of separation." But not only did following the paths the packets took in this experiment show proof for this concept, it traced the outline of a larger social reality.
Out of the one-hundred and sixty packets, half of the letters passed through the hands of three men – identified by their last names as Jacobs, Jones, and Brown. From the millions and millions of possible acquaintances – family members, college roommates, coworkers, childhood friends – just three men were in fact linked to half of the initial group. This doesn't mean that each of us is linked to the other by just six steps, but that "a very small number of people are linked to everyone else in a few steps, and the rest of us are linked to the world through these special few."2 Those few are the Connectors.
Connectors such as Paul Revere have directed the course of world history by serving as an active conduit through which vital military information was disseminated. His importance to the early success of the American Revolution, which although humbly enshrined in classroom poetry, is rarely given the credit it is due for preventing the British from striking a decisive first blow. Because when an idea comes close to a Connector, it gains the power and opportunity to spread through society with a fury that "exponentially" only begins to hint at.
So it should be no surprise that Ramzi Yousef connected with the Blind Sheikh before continuing his mission, since Yousef's path was one that had already been followed by many before him and would be followed by many more after his passing. The emergence of modern Islamic fundamentalism also draws on the Mavens and Salesmen of tipping points, but for now we return to Ramzi Yousef.
After arriving at the Blind Sheik's mosque, Yousef was introduced to the best jihadists the city had to offer and began to assemble the rag-tag crew he'd need to accomplish his goal of a quarter-million dead Americans. And they might have been the best New York City could offer, but that doesn't mean the men co-opted by Yousef were all that great. His recruits were "largely marginal, unaccomplished men,"3 none of whom had any experience in bomb-crafting, and none with any experience in killing on the grand scale necessary to cause 250,000 deaths.
This number was neither random nor unreasoned. Yousef intended his attack to be grand enough to be considered an act of war by America – to prove to the Great Satan that her very existence was threatened by soldiers she couldn't possibly stop. Yousef's stated desire was to kill as many civilians as the United States was estimated to have killed with the two atomic bombs it dropped on Japan during WWII: Fat Man on Nagasaki and Little Boy on Hiroshima.
It's important to remember that Yousef had no larger campaign or ideology to fulfill, his singular goal was to kill a quarter-million Americans – not to jump-start a revolution nor to produce the corpses that are so often used to flesh-out an ideology. Yousef explicitly intended his attack to be interpreted as an act of war. He wanted his attack to be a stunning military strike that would single-handedly force American influence out of the Palestinan Occupied Territories, where Yousef felt America was aiding Israel in the oppression and murder of his fellow Muslims.
But this is where the logic of the attack, for what it was worth, comes to an abrupt halt.
Since he was unfamiliar with the layout of New York, Yousef spent some time driving around Brooklyn scouting out targets. But he didn't choose Brooklyn because it is widely considered America's financial headquarters, nor because it is home to several of the world's largest skyscrapers. Yousef drove around Brooklyn because he'd heard lots and lots of Jews live there. And Yousef was determined to off as many Jews as possible, a theme which runs consistently through much of the terrorism carried out against the West by Islamic extremists.

The M/V Christian arrived last week loaded with members of the ANB and ANS
When the M/V Christian pulled into Middle Harbor last Thursday all those aboard were greeted with singing and drumming. The boat's passengers, all members of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood, were welcomed to shore by several ANB/ANS members "singing in" their arrival.
Traditional practices for "singing in" visitors dates back to the days when visitors would come by boat to different locations around Southeast Alaska, said Ross Nannauck III.
The event was just one stop on a historic ANB/ANS Camp Visitation Voyage. On board the M/V Christian was Grand President of the ANS, Mary Brown, her sister from Craig Camp, Adeline DeCastro, as well as Mary Guthrie, Grand Camp Executive Officer, and Mary Brown's daughter, Kathy. Grand Officers are advocates for the Native People of Alaska.
After the boat arrived and a few hugs were exchanged, the group went to ANB/ANS Camp 16 hall for a potluck dinner and meeting.
The first-ever voyage commemorates 100 years of ANB. It is the oldest Native organization in Northern America fighting for civil rights and land claims. Before there was the Alaska Marine Highway, ANB/ANS members traveled via seine boats from port to port and also gathered for Grand Camp by traveling on seiners, Nannauck said.
This voyage began on April 1 in Klawock. The boat arrived in Wrangell on April 4. This was the group's first Camp Visit. There the group was met with singing from ANB/ANS members on the dock. A dinner was held at the Salvation Army Church. And the voyage picked up another ANS member, Caroline Demmert from Wrangell.
"We had to delay our departure one day, due to weather, spending a harbor day in Klawock. However, we have been blessed by calm seas ever since," said M/V Christian first-mate Sharon Geldaker. She and her husband Pastor/Skipper Stan Berntson are hosting the camp dignitaries.
The travelers stayed in Petersburg from Thursday to Saturday. They were joined by Grand Sergeant-at-Arms, Brenda Louise, Executive Officer Cecilia Lopez Tavoliero, and ANS member Mary Ann Rainey on the next leg of the trip to Kake and then Angoon.
"In Kake, we were met again by community members in regalia, and spent the first evening learning Christian songs translated into Tlingit, taught by Ruth Demmert," Geldaker said. The group celebrated Easter at the various community churches, and held an ANS officer installation and luncheon on Monday, she said.
Also on Monday, the Grand President of the ANB, Dennis Demmert, flew in to join the group for the remainder of the voyage, Geldaker said.
On Tuesday, the group stopped at Baranof Warm Springs while they waited for slack tide at Angoon's Kootznahoo Inlet. In the evening they arrived at another dock to a welcome of community members in their regalia. Welcome songs were exchanged, and a potluck was held at the Angoon Presbyterian Church. A meeting was held on Wednesday to reorganize the Angoon camp.
On Friday, the group will depart for Hoonah, and will end their voyage in Juneau on April 16. Some of the passengers plan to stay in Juneau for a general assembly meeting of Tlingit and Haida.
The mission of the voyage is an outreach to ANB/ANS Camps, to encourage the camps to elect officers and send delegates to the 100th Anniversary of ANB Grand Camp, which will be held in Sitka, October 2 -7.
The Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood Camp 16 gathered at the South Harbor to welcome visiting grand officers and council members with traditional song on Thursday, April 5.
The M/V Christian has operated in Southeast Alaska since 1988. It is currently operated by Lutheran Indian Ministries (LIM), a non-profit organization supporting Native ministries across the United States and Canada. Its mission is to support and encourage Native Christian leaders, to minister to their own and others, said Geldaker.
Berntson and Geldaker are the third pastor and wife couple to operate the M/V Christian in Alaska. During the Petersburg gathering, the couple announced that they will soon turn the helm over to Dennis and Roberta Jack from Angoon. The Jack's will be training throughout 2012 to take on the ministry of serving the villages of Southeast Alaska.
LIM is funding the voyage, however donations of food and fuel have been accepted along the way. During the stop in Petersburg, Skip Hallingstad presented the travelers with a $200 donation. Geldaker did not say what the estimated cost of the entire trip will be.
The journey ends April 18 when the MV Christian returns to Petersburg. Traveling dignitaries will fly home.
Anyone can join ANB/ANS.

I had been seeing Jackie for about 8 months. Our relationship was fantastic, we had so much in common, and neither of us wanted to really get into serious relationship. It would have been difficult if either of us had, since she was married… and not to me.
Jackie was a beautiful woman, petite about 5' 4", nice 36C breasts, nipples that loved attention. The chemistry between us was fantastic, our relationship, as well as being friends, was very lustful. Sexually we couldn't get enough of each other. I guess another way to put it is we were fuck buddies. Our sexual chemistry… well, my cock and her pussy… they were a match, a perfect fit.

Background: Many patients with bipolar disorder receive multi-drug treatment regimens, but the distinguishing profiles of patients who receive complex pharmacologies have not been established.
Method: Prescribing patterns of lithium, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and antipsychotics were examined for 4035 subjects with bipolar disorder (DSM-IV) immediately prior to entering the Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder (STEP-BD). Subjects were recruited for participation across 22 centers in the United States between November 1999 and July 2005. The quality receiver operating characteristic (ROC) method was used to develop composite profiles of patients receiving complex regimens (p< .01 for all iterations).
Results: Use of 3 or more medications occurred in 40% of subjects, while 18% received 4 or more agents. Quality ROC analyses revealed that subjects had a 64% risk for receiving a complex regimen (≥4 medications) if they had (1) ever taken an atypical antipsychotic, (2) ≥6 lifetime depressive episodes, (3) attempted suicide, and (4) an annual income ≥$75,000. Complex polypharmacy was least often associated with lithium, divalproex, or carbamazepine and most often associated with atypical antipsychotics or antidepressants. Contrary to expectations, a history of psychosis, age at onset, bipolar I versus II subtype, history of rapid cycling, prior hospitalizations, current illness state, and history of alcohol or substance use disorders did not significantly alter the risk profiles for receiving complex regimens.
Conclusion: Complex polypharmacy involving at least 4 medications occurs in approximately 1 in 5 individuals with bipolar disorder. Use of traditional mood stabilizers is associated with fewer cotherapies. Complex regimens are especially common in patients with substantial depressive illness burden and suicidality, for whom simpler drug regimens may fail to produce acceptable levels of response.

NC Aims To Reduce Mercury In Water
North Carolina environmental officials are formulating a strategy to reduce mercury levels in the state's waterways. The divisions of air and water quality are holding public meetings this week and next to share their findings and solicit ideas. Susan Massengale with the Division of Water Quality says they've just completed a study finding that 98% of the mercury in the state's water is coming from the air.
Susan Massengale: 16% of that is from North Carolina sources. The balance of that is from other states and even around the world. Mercury can travel in the atmosphere long distances.
Massengale says that means many options for reducing mercury levels involve working with other states. Since 2008, mercury levels have prompted a statewide advisory for young children and women who may be pregnant against eating certain fish.

I need to backup 2TB of 50KB tiff/jpeg files. What is the fastest way possible?
You absolutely must use an image-based backup like Legato's SnapImage or Veritas' Flashbackup. These products backup and recover at the raw disk level instead of going through the filesystem. They offer file-level recovery but when it's time to restore the whole filesystem, they restore it via the raw device. These products and others like them are the only way to backup the type of system you're describing.
