text: The 10 Worst States for Student Homelessness New data from the Department of Education demonstrates how poverty in the U.S. affects kids and which states have the fastest-growing issues. November 26, 2013 Suzi Parker #10 Oklahoma With 21,325 homeless students enrolled in the 2011–12 school year, Oklahoma experienced a 22 percent increase in homeless students over the 2010–11 cycle. A great solution model is Positive Tomorrows, a tuition-free private school based in Oklahoma City where staff meet the educational and social service needs of homeless children and their families. Students are picked up every morning, given a hot breakfast, a lunch, and an after-school snack, and provided with clothing, school supplies, personal care items, and medical attention. The school helps families find jobs, learn vital life skills, and secure housing. But with the homeless population growing the way it is, many more support organizations are needed.

According to one homeless advocacy group in Kansas City, the number of homeless children in that city is on par with the state, increasing at a rate of more than 20 percent per year, making children the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population. The average age of a homeless person in Kansas City is seven. This year, Springfield Public Schools has already identified 551 homeless students, and the school district expects that number to increase. But not just urban areas have this growing problem. Rural areas like Cape Girardeau in southeast Missouri have also experienced more homeless students in their school districts. Groups like Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City are working to help families. The organization provides early education child care and a social services facility serving more than 400 children daily. Some districts have been creating backpack programs that send food home with children on weekends. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty Images; design: Lauren Wade) #8 Idaho Idaho may not be the largest state in the union, but it's one of the top states when it comes to growth in homeless students. Between the 2010–11 and 2011–12 school years Idaho saw a 27 percent increase in homeless students, a total of 6,076 kids. The reasons for these numbers in Idaho are myriad. Parents often lose jobs, which are already scarce, through layoffs or illness. Eviction follows, and families find themselves homeless on the streets or living in shelters. One local nonprofit, OATHS, was founded by high school student Ben Skinner to help homeless students "get what they need to enjoy, succeed, and stay in school." The program provides school supplies, clothes, musical instruments, even caps and gowns. According to the OATHS website, the program has raised more than $65,000 and helped more than 700 homeless students since it was founded in 2009. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty Images; design: Lauren Wade) #7 Vermont Although Vermont has seen a 31 percent increase in homeless students from the last school year to the one before, the state is working to make sure these 1,202 children receive an education. The state's Education for Homeless Children and Youth program works to ensure homeless students have equal access to the same free, appropriate, public education (including public preschool) provided to other Vermont children. But as in many states, Vermont has lost funding to help its homeless population. According to the state's Department of Children and Families, Vermont has lost 774 Section 8 vouchers from the federal government, which means state and local services must do more to keep up. The state offers guidance to teachers who have homeless students in their classes, including online charts to help identify and enroll homeless students at the school and community level. Various groups that help homeless families recently sent Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin a set of recommendations for how the state can help bring down the homeless number. One of their proposals doubles the amount the state spends on housing subsidies for low-income Vermonters. (Photo: FotografiaBasica/Getty Images; design: Lauren Wade) #6 South Dakota During the 2011–12 school year South Dakota saw a 35 percent increase over the year before, bringing the number of homeless students in that state to 2,542. According to the Sioux Falls School District website, there has been a 400 percent increase in the number of identified homeless children over the last decade. The reasons are varied: domestic violence, mental health issues, catastrophic illness, unemployment, substance abuse, natural disasters, and a lack of affordable housing. One in 31 children in South Dakota does not know where his or her next meal will come from. The graduation rate for homeless students is 25 percent. Even with these dire numbers, South Dakota does not prioritize children who are homeless when distributing child care vouchers, preventing many homeless children from starting their lives with an education. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty Images; design: Lauren Wade) #5 Wyoming Wyoming experienced a 40 percent increase in homeless students between the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years, bringing the state number to 1,173. Like many states, the reasons for such a dramatic increase have to do with lingering fallout from the 2008 recession. According to The National Center on Family Homelessness, at minimum wage a full-time worker earns 55 percent of what is needed to afford a 2-bedroom house. Meanwhile, the state only has about 80 emergency shelter units and only 36 transitional housing units for homeless families. While Wyoming has an interagency council on homelessness, so far they have not made a 10-year plan to help children and adults get off the streets. A necessity when one in 24 children in the state do not know where they will get their next meal. About half of the 50 states do have a strategy in place. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty; design: Lauren Wade) #4 Michigan With Detroit's failing car industry, its subsequent city bankruptcy, and massive housing foreclosures, Michigan has suffered immensely from the recession. The state had a 42 percent increase in homeless students from two school years ago to the last one, and a 96 percent jump as compared with the 2009–10 cycle—this while experiencing a shortfall of federal funding to help. In such a populous state, the numbers are overwhelming—43,418 Michigan students are homeless. "A lot of people think of homeless people as drunks or drug users, but sometimes it's just a series of events we didn't see coming," Michelle Verdier, a mother of a homeless teen, told The Detroit News in April. "We always thought we could dig ourselves out, but not this time." Some officials in Michigan have called this problem a silent epidemic. As a result, groups, churches, and community organizations are attempting to assist homeless kids. Hospitals have donated backpacks of supplies. Some motels relax payment if families cannot pay. Other programs offer homeless kids mentors to encourage them to stay in school and pursue college. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty Images; design: Lauren Wade) #3 North Carolina North Carolina was the only Southern state to have the misfortune to rank among these top 10. The state had a 53 percent increase, blamed mainly on massive federal cuts that affected thousands of families in the Tar Heel State. The Department of Education estimates about 28,000 North Carolina students are homeless, but only about 22 percent of districts there receive federal aid to assist with the issue. The state's teachers are encouraged to make homeless students feel welcomed and to set aside pencils, pens, and calculators for them. During the summer, one county created Project Lift-Off with funds from the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act to help homeless students in math and reading skills, arts, and dental hygiene. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty; design: Lauren Wade) #2 Maine Maine experienced a 58 percent increase in its homeless student population, which rose from 991 to 1,564. Experts say that in any given year 7,500 Maine students will spend at least one night on the streets. The state is rural, so the population is more scattered, meaning homeless students often are invisible, even in metropolitan areas. Commonly, kids go homeless when they escape abusive households. Schools in Maine have homeless student liaisons, and some districts send a minivan, a cab, or a bus to motels, shelters, or new addresses to pick up students for school. Two programs—Youth Catalytics and New Beginnings—give emergency services to homeless students and offer skills to get them off the street and earn them a solid education. (Photo: ilbusca/Getty Images; design: Lauren Wade) #1 North Dakota North Dakota has seen the largest growth of homeless students in the nation, with a staggering 212 percent increase. That equates to 2,712 homeless kids. "These numbers are devastating, but sadly, entirely predictable," Ruth White, executive director of the National Center for Housing and Child Welfare, said in a release. "This report simply provides more evidence that the federal government has abandoned its commitment to fill yawning gaps in affordable housing options for low-income families. The consequences reach far beyond housing, beyond education, and into the job market."

World's slimmest 256GB SSD unveiled
US manufacturer Super Talent Technology has begun sampling what it claims is the world's slimmest 256GB offering yet. Super_talent_SSD_256GB_pic1 Super Talent's 256GB SSD: ready for standard laptops The notebook-friendly 2.5in form-factor drive is encased in an aluminium housing measuring 100 x 70 x 12.5mm. 2.5in HDDs that …
As always it comes down to price. Without the price I won't get too excited about it and especially so if it is ridiculously priced.
Yeah Okay!!! Not for that!!!!
Anywhere between $6000-$7000 screw that....
remember when
I remember when 1GB SCSI-II drives (full height no less - none of this 12.5mm junk) were selling for around $1,000. And not all that long ago - 1997. So by that scale, a 256GB drive would have cost $250,000 or so. $5,950 / $250,000 = 2.4% in other words this drive is 42x cheaper per GB.
I'll take 50! yah right....
But seriously, it's fantastic to see that they even make drives like this. I mean 0.1 ms seek???? thats fast. and 50-65GB /sec transfer rate - that smokes practically any drive out there assuming it can keep it up over a good stretch of time. It's only a matter of time until we all have this tech in our notebooks.

The United Nations have launched a campaign to End poverty by 2015. Through the campaign, awareness is created among people to pressurize their government to achieve the goals set. One of the goals of the campaign is to provide universal primary education. To achieve universal primary education under Goal-2, India should increase the primary school enrolment rate to 100 percent and wipe out the drop-outs by 2015 against 41.96 percent in 1991-92. The drop-out rate for primary education during 2002-03 is 34.89 percent. The gross enrolment ratio in primary education has tended to remain near 100 percent for boys and recorded an increase of nearly 20 percentage points in the ten years period from 1992-93 to 2002-03 for girls (93 percent). The literacy rate (7 years and above) has also increased from 52.2 percent in 1992-93 to 65.4 percent in 2000-01.

ASWAN, Egypt (AP) Clashes between an Arab clan and a Nubian family resumed Sunday in Egypt's south, killing two people and wounding four, health officials said, leaving the tourist city of Aswan on the edge despite a high-profile government effort to end the bloodshed.
The bloody clashes, which began Friday, so far have claimed 25 lives. Gunfights spread beyond a residential area to outside the local hospital and morgue near the city's center, a few kilometers (miles) from the tourist hotels and its commercial areas.
An angry mob from the Arab clan torched more new Nubian homes Sunday after collecting the bodies of their relatives to bury. The attack pushed armed Nubians into the streets, sparking pitched gun battles. Police struggled to break up the mob outside the hospital. A military helicopter flew over the area.
Locals meanwhile complained of the inability of security forces to halt the vendetta violence. Nubians burned horse carts belonging to the Arab clan in protest.
A Nubian resident reached by telephone said gunmen from the Arab Haleyla clan attacked his neighborhood el-Sayel el-Rifi, on the edge of Aswan.
"We are dying. They are attacking us," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he feared for his life. "There is no government and no police in the area."
The renewed clashes came shortly after the local governor visited the area. An Associated Press photographer there said firefights broke out nearby, including outside the hospital and morgue. An armored vehicle was stationed outside the neighborhood of narrow dirt roads. Authorities closed local schools and a university over fears of renewed violence.
In the city's center, shops and bakeries were closed. Trains sat at the edge of town, trying to wait out the violence.
The bloody feud began after a fight last week between school students drew in adults, sparking the clashes that turned deadly Friday. Police said the fight was over the harassment of a girl. Witnesses said offensive graffiti written on the school walls fueled the violence.
Security officials say members of the Arab clan are involved in arms and drugs smuggling and are well-armed. The fight took on a political overtone when the impoverished Arab clan accused the ethnic Nubians of supporting the military, while the Nubians say the Arabs back ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and are protected by officials loyal to longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Local leaders say police were mostly absent from the streets, causing the violence to spread. The governor appealed for the military to deploy troops in the area. On Sunday, a military official said more soldiers were heading to Aswan.
Egypt's Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab and his interior minister visited Aswan on Saturday to meet local leaders to end the dispute. Mahlab promised a fact-finding mission to investigate how the violence erupted. But vendettas, particularly over perceived violations of honor, are all too common in southern Egypt.
On Sunday, local government official Mohammed Mostafa told private television station CBC that officials are considering emergency measures and possibly a curfew in the area.
The violence in Egypt's south adds to unrest plaguing the country since Morsi's overthrow in July. Protests by Morsi supporters often devolve into violence and militants have launched a wave of attacks since his ouster. It also comes before May's presidential election, in which the former powerful military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who removed Morsi, will run for office and is widely expected to win.
On Sunday, former presidential hopeful Mortada Mansour announced he would run for president. Mortada, widely considered a Mubarak loyalist and the head of renowned Egyptian soccer club Zamalek, was disqualified on a technicality before the 2012 poll that Morsi won.
Speaking to journalists, Mansour said he would ban all protests and strikes nationwide for one year if elected. He did not offer details on how he planned to do it.
Leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi is also running in the election, scheduled for May 26 and 27.

This is a landlord/tenant style Final Judgment for Eviction in Florida of a tenant. Case Style - Heading - FINAL JUDGMENT - EVICTION IN THE COUNTY... more
Myself and my landlord have agreed to terminate our lease early. They are selling and we are moving out. Our lease stated a 60 days notice which we gave. Now we paid the 1st and last months rent. We paid the rent on the the day of notice (60days) and prepaid the last months rent. We found a new apartment and we can move out on the 15th of the last month. Can the landlord keep the overpayment of two week rent? Are we due the overpayment?
It's not an overpayment. You leased the apartment for the entire month, and the landlord is entitled to be paid for the entire month. You can try approaching the landlord and asking if it would be more convenient for them to move out mid-month, to allow reconditioning the place, and work something out verbally for a return of part of the rent, but the landlord's not required to do this. If you do negotiate such a deal, get it in writing.
Your first step should be to review your lease agreement and any subsequent written agreements you may have entered with your landlord. Some landlords specifically include a clause regarding early move-outs and the tenant's obligation to pay all rent even in light of the fact that they have moved out a few days or weeks early. If such a provision exists in your lease that my give you a clue into your landlord's mindset on the issue. That said, you and your landlord have already to modify the lease by letting you leave early. I would say a partial refund of the rent is fair game and you should try to get their consent in writing letting them know that they'll gain possession of the unit early to clean it and make any modifications to it. If you haven't already done so, get your arrangement to terminate the lease early in writing. If you don't you could be on the hook for rent for the remainder of the term. Always memorialize your agreements with a landlord in writing no matter how casual or congenial the relationship. After all, we're talking about the roof over your head! One more thing, if your landlord took a security deposit from you, be sure it was handled properly and that you receive the return of it, or any portion you are legally entitled to, within 30 days of termination of the tenancy. If your landlord fails to fulfill this obligation, they could be on the hook for damages in an amount 3 times the security deposit plus reasonable attorney's fees and courts.
Rent is typically due on a monthly basis, and it sounds as if that's the arrangements you had with your landlord. Pursuant to your agreement, your landlord is entitled to the payment of rent for the entire month. Although you are choosing to move out two weeks early, you would be entitled to possession of the property for the duration of the month or until the lease expires.
As my colleagues mention, your landlord has the right to keep all of your last month's payment. Your best option is to see if you can find a replacement tenant (this may provide your landlord with some incentive to give you money back or to and then see if the last month from can be prorated from the day that you move out until the end of the month. If you cannot find a replacement, it is still worth trying to work something out with the landlord. If the landlord refuses, then you will need to pay the remaining 2 weeks on the old lease.
So that you do not need to pay for 2 places at once, I would then speak to your new landlord about starting the new lease on the 1st of the following month rather than the 15th which of the last month of your old lease.
A rental agreement is a contract outlining terms of tenancy for a certain period of time. Short-term rental agreements may renew automatically until cancelled.

Look at this from the opposite side: Google would probably have paid 9bn just for the patents so they can help defend or deflect lawsuits. They know they are weak on mobile patents and open to attack from (mainly) Apple.
The attached company is irrelevant. 9bn was for the patents, sales of any assets are a nice bonus.

03.12.08 - By Paul Strauss: Many people say Oscar has led a fairy tale life. He is the Golden Boy. He is extremely handsome, with a winning smile. He is articulate and charismatic, and has been successful in every area of life. He's never been seriously hurt even though he has spent years participating in one of the most violent of sports.
He has a gold medal and oodles of title belts. He has more money and influence than just about anyone in the entertainment industry (Tiger and Oprah not withstanding). To use a cliche, it's not beyond the realm of possibility to believe he might some day become the world's first sports billionaire. He has a beautiful wife and family. He is universally admired and by some even adored. What more does he want? What more can the man do? Why is having more than enough still not enough?
Although Manny hasn't reached the level of the Golden Boy, he too is charismatic with adoring fans. He is a hero to the Filipino people. He is a successful musician, and has a beautiful wife and family and lot's of money as well; although, his fans would say Oscar's path to glory was much easier, and the Golden Boy has been at those lofty heights much longer than Manny.
Regardless, it's obvious that all of Oscar's riches and blessings are not enough. He wants more, but more of what? Oscar says he wants to knockout the best P4P fighter in the world, because he feels that feat will somehow cement his legacy, and that is what is driving him. Boxing writers cannot read minds, but many pretend to do so, explaining that Oscar's real desire is to end his career with what he hopes will be a huge positive.......i.e. .First (he wants to) beat The Pac Man, and then maybe finalize things with a win over another hugely popular fighter named The Hitman. Then, they surmise, Oscar would feel he has bragging rights, and surely would erase memory of the defeats he suffered at the hands of Hopkins and Mayweather, Jr.
Manny's situation is much less complex. He wants to be the best by fighting the best for the most money. Trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum have convinced him he can beat Oscar regardless of the huge size disparity. Frankly, it didn't take much convincing. Manny fully understands this is the most important fight of his life, and he doesn't need to be pumped up or motivated.
Odds makers, to no one's surprise, have Oscar installed as a heavy favorite.
History has proven, in most instances, they know what they're talking about, but in this case, do they? Are they overlooking anything? Doubtful, you say.
Freddie Roach believes otherwise. He should know, as he trained Oscar in his losing effort against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. Oscar uses that fact to point out Freddie's plan for the fight failed. The Choir Boy takes umbrage with that statement, and argues Oscar was winning the fight, but for some reason he abandoned the plan, and according to Freddie that is why Oscar lost the decision. Further, Freddie claims to know why Oscar abandoned the plan, and that that undisclosed reason will be a factor in allowing Manny to come away with the victory.
Further, "La Cucaracha" claims to most recently discovered an additional weakness in Oscar's style. Apparently no one else has made the same discovery. Maybe Oscar has developed an allergy to leather? As a result of this alleged discovery, Freddie cancelled the scheduled send-off celebration to capitalize on his new discovery. Did anyone hear Max Schmeling's voice echoing in with, "I see something." What drama! What theatre! It's as though Freddie;s been consulting with some of those Hollywood script writers?
Freddie's revelation does bring to mind once again the question about Oscar's failure to use his jab in the second half of the fight against Pretty Boy. We all know when the Golden Boy was asked in the post-fight interview why he stopped using his jab. He openly said, "I don't know why! Could it be that Freddie really does know why? Is there a danger of Oscar having a repeat performance? Roach is predicting a knockout by the ninth. Oscar, on the other hand feels he will catch up to Manny by the fifth, and will administer his own big KO. The use of the phrase "catch up to Manny" implies Manny will be running. Do you believe that? It's doubtful. The Pac Man will be darting in and out, and moving side to side, but running? Nah!
It's also interesting to note that Oscar does his own lobbying. He exercises control over everything. He issues orders and makes demands, and if he is not happy, out you go. His brother is about the only current team member to have been around for the duration. But, much of Oscar's success is because of his ability to do decide what is best for him. He does permit team members to go before the cameras, but seems to limit what they have to say. Most of their comments are generalizations such: "He's strong. He's ready. He's totally focused. I've never seen him looking better." Angelo Dundee dispenses his bit of wisdom by adding, "Oscar's got an answer for anything he (Manny) will do." It's really Oscar, though, who gives the real spiel. He explains why his camp is at Big Bear. He paints the picture he wants viewers to have of him, explaining the importance of his Mexican roots, his family, and his love of challenges. Viewers of the 24/7 episodes follow the cameras around the spotless, unbelievably tidy gym at Big Bear. The place is so "Mr. Clean" and organized that you expect to be told that if you want to use the bathroom, you should go elsewhere. They probably don't even have a spit bucket!
Manny, on the other hand, is more of a straight line..........point A to point B. He doesn't talk much, but that is not because he has difficulty with the language. Rather, it's just not his way to be outspoken about himself or his fight plan. When asked about the war of words carried on in the media, he will just say that that is Freddie's thing. He openly practices his Roman Catholicism and unashamedly has a mandatory break in training for prayer. His training environment is almost the direct opposite of Oscar. He plies his trade at Freddie's gym, which to be polite, is a zoo. There are people all over the place. If a gym rat exercised a "snap back", he would probably kill someone in close proximity behind them. The chaos doesn't stop there either, it continues right into Manny's living quarters. Whereas Oscar has a team, Manny seems to have a village (He must have listened to Hiliary). Half the population of Kibawe must be crammed into the condo with him. There's even one stuffed into a closet. That is where Manny sometimes views videos of Oscar's past fights, and it's on a cock-a-mamy little TV, not some big LCD or Plasma HDTV. It makes no difference to the Pac Man. His face is glued to the tiny screen with eyes intensely taking in everything. He's crouched and perfectly still and quiet, kind of like a cat ready to pounce! There's no secret about what Manny wants.
Meanwhile back at the hacienda, Oscar is getting acupuncture treatments! Manny counters by handing out turkeys by the hundreds. Oscar checks his weight, and is certain the camera picks up that he is already on the money, which will allow him to eat turkey. Manny is concerned about his friends' excess weight, so he offers big money to those who can lose ten pounds in two weeks. Later, he offers money to those who failed in that effort. This time he challenges them to over-eat! It's all great fun for the village people, and profitable for them as well.
Freddie chimes in that Manny is so generous, that he's worried Manny will give away all that he has earned. Oscar is generous too, but in a more controlled and business like manner. He depends on advisors, accountants and lawyers.
Let's get back to the original question, though. Everyone is certainly able to state the obvious answer to the question of "What's in it for Oscar?" It includes: more : fame, fortune, glory, power, influence, adulation.....wine, (no more women) and song, etc. He's got more than enough of all of those things, right? So, there's got to be more to this, right? There must be something that might outweigh the obvious? In this case, he willingly and eagerly pushes the idea that he doesn't care about all his synthetic and corporeal assets. He claims it boils down to the basic, the very basic thing. He wants fans to believe that he full well knows he is risking a good portion of what he has earned (reputation) by taking this fight. But, he quickly adds that he hopes he will be able to exhibit the volatile and brutal elemental quality of his (Mexican Warrior) persona. It's of great importance to him, he tells his viewers. It's as though he wants his audience to view him as some kind of archaic artist, who hopes to gain loyalty, goodwill, and in some way spirituality by creating or capturing his true essence by using the ring canvas as a medium to beating up the generally accepted best P4P fighter in the world. He sells his audience on believing this is his biggest challenge. He wants the public to believe he is the best, and he's out to prove it. He admits that he and Manny are willing to share just about everything they have, but they aren't willing to share that designation. Fans, writers, and those in the (boxing) know aren't quite ready to let Oscar set the hook. They realize Oscar has carefully manipulated his career and who his opponent would be at any given time. This fight is no exception. Sure, he has made some misjudgments, but for the most part he has done a tremendous job in protecting himself and maximizing results. That appears to be his method of madness in this case as well.
He reasons that he will not be seriously criticized for not fighting Antonio Margarito or Paul Williams, because after all he is fighting the best P4P fighter in the world. He counters (or has others do it on his behalf) criticism about the weight and size disparity by making the opposition's argument for them by saying, "Size will not be a factor." After all, how can Manny be viewed as a legitimate threat if everyone is saying he is too small? Oscar is a wonder and he is once again proving his incredible abilities both inside and outside of the ring.
On December 6th, fans will be joyful recipients of the fallout of this scheme, and undoubtedly they are in store for one of the most exciting and thrilling nights of this boxing year. The surprise could be that it won't necessarily be because of Oscar's management skills, but maybe because of Manny's lack thereof. Manny will simply be concentrating on winning, not manipulating. He will be focused on attacking, and not concerned about his portfolio.
So, we know what's in it for Oscar. But, is his plan well thought out, and will it lead him to the destination he desires? We understand Manny's plan is much simpler........train hard, fight hard, and try to destroy your opponent, whether it's Oscar or some other unlucky guy in the ring with him. Don't bet against him. With his speed and heavy hands, he just might pull off the big upset. He probably doesn't even know or care that he is the underdog.
All that remains is for you to set the recorder, and make sure you have some popcorn and cold ones on hand. Then sit back and get ready to close out the boxing year with a Hollywood/Vegas type extravaganza! (Sorry, but the Klitschko and Rahman bout doesn't hold a potential candle to the drama involved with this one.)

The New Seeds of Terror
In eliminating Osama bin Laden, the United States may have unwittingly set the stage for a wider terrorist offensive on Western targets.
The trouble with "high-value targets" is that their value may not be so high. During the years it took to find and terminate al Qaeda's No. 1, about 20 No. 3s have been killed. The problem is that No. 1s are not essential to overall operations, and in a network, everybody is No. 3. Al Qaeda, now one of the flattest, most decentralized networks in the world, will live on.
A rash of recent terrorist attacks by al Qaeda affiliates in Iraq, Morocco, and Yemen, and a thwarted plot in Germany, suggest that the network may even be mounting a small-scale, but still global, new terror offensive. The lack of "spectaculars" should not be seen as a sign of a weakening al Qaeda, but rather as an indicator of a shift in strategy. Watch for more small strikes in the weeks and months ahead, launched around the world.
Indeed, the death of Osama bin Laden may actually facilitate al Qaeda's transition from a hub-and-spokes network -- with Waziristan as the hub -- to a "mesh" network composed of small, loose-jointed cells distributed globally. This new organizational design was the dream of al Qaeda's top strategist, Abu Musab al-Suri ("the Syrian"). He was apparently much inspired by Robert Taber's classic The War of the Flea, on which he lectured to aspiring jihadists in the 1990s. But he built quite a bit on this foundational work.
Al-Suri, who likely plotted the 2004 Madrid train bombing that caused the fall of the Spanish government and the withdrawal of Spanish troops from Iraq, has been in custody for over five years. His name is scarcely known to the mass publics of the world, and to surprisingly few in the military. But his ideas, articulated at great length -- clocking in at some 1,600 pages -- in his e-book The Global Islamic Resistance Call, seem to have carried the day in setting al Qaeda's new course. He and bin Laden used to spar over this approach, in which links to the core were to be almost completely severed in favor of local cells' freedom to chart their own courses and plan their own violent campaigns.
To emphasize this point, al-Suri even went so far as to suggest that "cell builders," perhaps the only tie to a much-reduced al Qaeda Central, should consider taking on a suicide mission of their own after planting some of terror's seeds. This way there would be little chance of counterterrorist forces following their trail of links from one operative and cell to another -- the manner in which some terrorist network affiliates have been taken down over this past decade, in locales ranging from the Sahara to Singapore.
If all this seems a bit dark, there is some good news. The al Qaeda leader's death could free up huge resources from the intelligence and special operations communities hitherto devoted to the bin Laden manhunt. So instead of simply shifting the targeting mechanism to possible new No. 1s, there is an opportunity to use the vast majority of these resources to help illuminate the myriad cells forming up in accordance with al-Suri's vision.
To be sure, some eyes in the sky should keep looking for the likes of Ayman al-Zawahiri and Anwar al-Awlaki, and some hard men should stand ready to undertake the raids that lie at the end of these searches. But more technical and human resources need to be focused on the rise of al-Suri's semiautonomous cells, for they will be the ones to launch the next wave of al Qaeda attacks. And unless the al-Suri system is disrupted, it will remain in operation long enough for one or some of these cells to acquire or develop true weapons of mass destruction.
So in the wake of bin Laden's death, it is time to take the fight to the far reaches of the network -- well beyond Afghanistan, where al Qaeda has precious little presence -- and well beyond Waziristan, too. Abu Musab al-Suri's vision is taking the network far from the Hindu Kush. America's gaze must turn far from there as well.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas is Townes Van Zandt's definitive statement, recorded in 1973 at the height of his powers -- solo and acoustic, his songs stripped to the bone. Recorded more than 20 years after that classic live set, Live at Union Chapel features an older, wiser Townes -- torn all to hell by two decades of drinking and depression, his voice and guitar playing a step behind his former self but his songs no worse for the wear. The Texas folk legend would be dead in less than three years, but on this night in 1994, he was in fine spirits (and probably downing some), playing one of England's most respectable venues for an audience of more than a thousand people. While the track selection repeats some ten songs from Live at the Old Quarter, it's hard to complain when they're as stunning as "Two Girls" or "Pancho & Lefty." Underrated late-period compositions like "The Catfish Song" and "Blaze's Blue" round out the set, the latter introduced with a hilarious tale recalling the tragic death of Austin singer-songwriter Blaze Foley, who left Townes a guitar in hock but kept the pawn ticket in the pocket of the suit he was buried in. Stories such as these make Townes's live albums essential; his songs may be sadder than sad, but the guy that sang them was pretty damn funny, too.

THE MJ EFFECT: Celebrity weeklies weren't the only ones that saw a boost in readership when they put Michael Jackson on their covers. Architectural Digest put the King of Pop on its November cover with images and a story composed by photographer Harry Benson, who shot the singer several times during his career, dating back to 1984. On Sept. 29, the first day the magazine's Jackson story appeared on architecturaldigest.com, the site attracted 1.5 million page views, and through Sept. 30, subscription sales increased 700 percent.
The results left Donna Karan with some big numbers to live up to — she and her daughter are on the title's December cover, while inside there are looks at the homes of Ralph Rucci, Elton John, Kelsey Grammer, Ferruccio Ferragamo and Patricia Heaton.
Meanwhile, rumors of the departure of editor in chief Paige Rense Noland from the magazine have swirled around the mediasphere for months. Asked whether Condé Nast was looking for a replacement for Rense Noland or if she is leaving the magazine, a spokeswoman for the magazine said both were "absolutely not true."

From 1920 until his death he created more than 400 canvases portraying the ocean and its shipping as only professional mariners like himself ever saw it. His works captured the immensity of the sea while accurately rendering the glory of square-rigged ships, workaday schooners, modern and historic warships, and yachts. In the years between the two world wars he became the "Sailor-Painter." His vision of the ship under sail has influenced every generation of nautical artists following in his wake.
