We've known for quite some time the LG Vortex was going to be arriving on Verizon and it seems it's coming sooner rather than later. That is, at least, according to a flier sent out by Verizon itself. As posted in the Android Central Forums, the fliers clearly show off the LG Vortex as coming soon. As noted previously, Verizon customers will be able to scoop up the Bing'd out Vortex for free when it finally does arrive in stores and online. Thanks DroidEye22!
LG Vortex coming soon, according to Verizon ad

LG Vortex coming soon, according to Verizon ad
Last week, when my wife's Palm Pre Plus died for the 4th time, Verizon offered her a free LG Vortex as a replacement on what they called a 'private sale.' We declined because 1) we would have been accepting a new phone that we couldn't touch and feel before committing, and 2) they couldn't tell us how soon we would get it. We opted for the DInc for $100 dollars ($50 off.) They also offered the Moto Citrus but we declined for the same reason as the LG Vortex. They would have given us the Citrus for $30.
If I may ask how were you able to get $50 off the DI? I am on my 4th or 5th Eris and all they offered me was either an early upgrade(so any phone that is new at full upgrade price) or LG Ally or Devour as a replacement.
Now if this had the same res and specs as the Optimus S, and they offered me it, I probably would have said yes, as the cpu is slower than snapdragon phones(faster than the Eris/Hero), but it has the same gpu as them.
Yay that's my pic, sorry for the spanish I was visiting my mom and dad from college and their both from Mexico.
...and the Optimus A is gonna be A locked down handset from Ma Bell. Hrmmm.

Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), have successfully controlled the growth of a high-quality bi-layer graphene on a copper substrate using a method called chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which breaks down molecules of methane gas to build graphene sheets with carbon atoms. The discovery could pave the way for next-generation electronics application.
Kaustav Banerjee, a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and director of the Nanoelectronics Research Lab at UCSB, led the research team that perfected the methods of growing the graphene sheets. Says Banerjee, "For the electronics industry to effectively use graphene it must first be grown selectively and in larger sheets. We have developed a synthesis technique that yields high-quality and high-uniformity graphene that can be translated into a scalable process for industry applications."
The discovery turns graphene production into an industry-friendly process by improving the quality and uniformity of graphene using efficient and reproducible methods. The team was able to control the number of graphene layers produced--from mono-layer to bi-layer graphene--an important distinction for future applications in electronics and other technology.
This research was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under grant CCF 08-11880. This work made use of the Materials Research Laboratory central facilities at UCSB, supported by the NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC) program (under NSF grant DMR 05-20415).

A Matter of Priority
Byline: Edgardo J. Angara
WHEN one is faced with two important matters to be done at the same time, prioritization comes into play.
This is the situation that I faced last week. In the heat of arguments over the rules of canvass at the joint congressional committee level, I decided to honor my long-standing commitment to attend the four-day conference on fighting corruption held at Wilton Park, West Sussex, in the United Kingdom. The conference is sponsored by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and the Global Association Against Corruption or GOPAC.
I am the only Asian Board member of GOPAC and I had been greatly involved in its activities. In fact, I had the privilege to co-chair a select committee of Parliamentarians who crafted the UN Convention Against Corruption held in Merida, Mexico, last December 2003.
Why did I choose to attend the conference over the congressional canvassing, which is equally important to me? The answer is a matter of expediency. At the canvassing sessions, we have so many other stalwarts in the united opposition who will tenaciously guard and protect the sanctity of our votes. In this conference, on the other hand, I am the only Asian who has established linkages with other concerned parliamentarians and organizations fighting corruption on a global scale.
It would have been a grievous error on my part to pass up an auspicious opportunity to link up with world leaders in finding ways to curb official corruption. This is a duty as crucial as guarding the vote from "dagdag-bawas." Official corruption is also technically "dagdag-bawas" on our national coffers. Because of it, we incur additional obligations or debts and less income or revenues as public money goes into the pockets of corrupt government officers.
Among the topics discussed at the conference was "How Incumbency and Patronage Influence the Political Process." This is something very timely for us in the Philippines, given the recent election where the incumbent President was a candidate. …

My family LOVES seaweed snacks – especially my kids! It goes in school lunches every day. We use it as wraps for salmon and avocado dinners, and it makes a great snack folded over homemade goat cheese.
If you have never tried seaweed snacks, you may be surprised by how incredibly delicious and addictive they can be. This ocean vegetable is an incredible source of minerals. Natural iodine makes it excellent for thyroid health (a.k.a healthy metabolism), and in Chinese medicine seaweed is used medicinally to "soften nodules and accumulation" – which somehow always translates in my head to cellulite reduction.
I love this quote by the famous herbalist Susan Weed about seaweed for fertility and women's health:
Seaweed flows and shifts like the energy of a woman. Saline solutions of ocean and uterus rock in rhythm. Pulses of tide, menstruation, heartbeat, and fertility join seaweeds and wombs. Nourishing breast milk merges with waves of green fronds.
Unlike other seaweed snacks, this brand are lightly toasted with real olive oil (not canola!) and sea salt. If you don't already adore this stuff, prepare to fall in love with seaweed snacks!

The Master of Laws in Homeland and National Security will address all the laws of Homeland Security. There are many new laws enacted since 9/11, and there is a need for attorneys who understand their context and application.
The Homeland and National Security Law LL.M. program will include study in air and transportation security, border security, military operations in the homeland, intelligence and privacy issues, technology and cybersecurity, as well as the practical courses on federal contracting and administrative agencies.
The Master of Laws in Homeland and National Security will address all the laws of Homeland Security, and are consistent with Professor McDaniel's most recent role at the Pentagon for Homeland Defense Strategy, Force Planning and Mission Assurance, including:
• counter-terrorism
• immigration
• border
• maritime and transportation security
• public health and bioterrorism
• intelligence and individual rights.
The LLM Program will also offer electives in intelligence law and privacy, cybersecurity, emergency management, risk management and critical infrastructure, military domestic operations and practical courses in federal contracting and administrative law.
Students wishing to focus their expertise and enhance their career in Homeland and National Security Law may earn a master of laws by obtaining an additional 24 credit hours of course work; including 12 credit hours of required course work and an additional 12 credit hours of elective courses.
Samantha Arrington Sliney graduated from North Carolina Central University School of Law, cum laude, in May 2013. She is currently a LL.M. Homeland and National Security Law candidate, anticipated May 2016.
The paper was first submitted for requirements in National Security Law II course in the LL.M. degree.
The article details the procedural history of U.S. v. al-Bahlul, which is a U.S. Military Commission case that is now on appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
The issue pending decision before the court is whether Congress can authorize any and all domestic-law offenses to be tried in a military commission so long as the offenses are committed by an enemy belligerent in connection with hostilities. The Article argues that the U.S. Supreme Court is the appropriate venue to answer this question not the D.C. Circuit.
The D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments on this question on Dec. 1, 2015 and an opinion is expected in mid-2016.
The article was published by the Harvard National Security Law Journal on 22 March 2016.

text: Hey guys, I've often thought about getting a small lathe for the garage and I've been following and thoroughly enjoying this thread since the beginning. Well it seems that my boss has a South Bend he wants me to buy. I'm not sure what model # it is but it is a 10"X24". It's in good shape and everything is tight and accurate. In fact, last week he turned a #4-40 thread on a small shaft for one of our bore gauges here at the shop. Here's a list of included tooling etc. 4-jaw chuck 3-jaw chuck collet chuck Phase-2 quick change tool post a handful of tool holders o.d. turning tool a few assorted boring bars o.d. threading tool knurling tool cutoff tool grooving tool assorted hss and carbide tipped tools drill chuck live center It's 3-phase but my electrician buddy says we can just wire in a converter or swap the motor with a single phase. So here's my dilemma, he wants me to make him an offer. I know he'll give me a pretty good deal but I don't want to low-ball him and try to get it for next to nothing. After looking around online I was thinking about offering $1500. What do you guys think? Too low? Too much? I hate when someone says "make me an offer". I'm always worried about insulting them with a low ball offer but I'm cheap and don't want to pay too much. I wish I had some pictures to post but I didn't take any when I checked it out. I could really use some good input on what you guys think. Thanks TFD

Managing Client Emotions: How a Meniator Can Help
White, L. Therese, White, Bill, Dispute Resolution Journal
More often than not, disputants are angry and emotional. Unfortunately, their lawyers and advocates are not always equipped to handle such raw emotions. This is when the use of a mediator may be necessary before the party and its attorney or advocate can continue dealing with their opponent. In this article, Therese White and Bill White show some examples of how mediation effectively addresses emotional issues, provides reality checks, and generally paves the way for the resolution of disputes.
Anger. Sadness. Fear. Disgust. Shame. As you well know, disputes are often full of powerful, negative emotions on both sides. Sadly, these emotions can overwhelm good judgement and damage attorney/client relations, thereby reducing the possibility of a timely and successful out-of-court resolution. Sometimes, they even force an otherwise risky and unnecessary trial.
This article is about helping attorneys and other professional conflict managers reestablish order after the client's emotional brain has overpowered his thinking brain. It's also about the effective use of mediators to accomplish this task.
When Emotions Take Over
In his book, Emotional Intelligence, Dan Goleman says, "(emotions) are self-justifying, with a set of perceptions and proofs all their own ...When in control, the emotional mind harnesses the rational mind to its purpose, thus distorting past memories and current realities." What matters is what seems to be rather than what is, what is desired rather than what can be reasonably expected, and what is demanded rather than what can be negotiated.
An emotion is defined as a feeling and its distinctive thoughts, psychological and biological states, and propensities to act. There are hundreds of emotions-good and bad. Emotions have their own variations and nuances, not to mention the ability to blend with other emotions.
Some people manifest their negative emotions in outbursts, others through quiet storms. But one thing for sure is that when people are acting on an emotion (be it for a split second or for a lifetime), they honestly feel it is the best thing to do, no matter how stupid it may appear later.
Most people act out because they prefer a conflict they know to the resolutions they cannot completely imagine. People also use emotion to keep from getting at the core of the conflict, which may be too painful to face head-on. In any event, emotional overreactions and underreactions are merely attempts to gain or regain control.
Experience has shown that given their left-- hemisphere mindset, attorneys sometimes have great difficulty dealing with the emotions of their clients. Having been trained in the logic-driven rigors of fact-finding, analysis, and debate, it can become impossible to properly address highly charged matters of the heart and spirit. For that matter, attorneys often unwittingly feed the emotional fires of their clients. Here's how.
Conventional wisdom demands getting a "good, tough lawyer to protect your interests." Knowing this, some attorneys feel it's their duty to play that role to the extreme. The issues between the disputants then become subordinated to the increasingly complicated litigation process, and the "winner-take-all" battle between the attorneys.
Feeling overwhelmed, the clients are forced to hide behind their attorneys, and relinquish all control over the outcome. At this point, according to mediator Chip Rose in his Web site, "effective communication between the (parties) has been all but eliminated, and..the parties undoubtedly feel more not less fearful and experience greater not less anxiety."
This is where the talents of a good mediator and the benefits of the mediation process can put the attorney and client on the same page. This is how it is done.
Emotions Must Be Expressed
Like it or not, there is no official place for emotions in the litigation process. This is unfortunate in that a simple clearing of the air can move numerous conflicts to resolution. …

President Bush led the nation in paying tribute to those who've died in the service of their country. He paid his respects to the nation's fallen heroes during the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
"The families who come here have sacrificed someone precious and irreplacable in their lives. And our nation will always honor them," said President Bush.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Joint Chiefs' chairman Richard Myers also honored the war dead on this memorial day. Myers spoke earlier about the feeling that came over him while walking through Arlington National Cemetery.
"Pride in the work that is being done by our men and women around the world in Iraq and Afghanistan. They understand the importance of the mission," Myers said.
Also in Washington Monday, a parade that featured one of America's oldest veterans, 103 year old Lloyd Brown who was 16 when he signed up to fight in World War I.
Thousands of veterans with rolling thunder roared into the nation's Capitol to hold a rally of their own Sunday remembering prisoners of war and those missing in action. The group remembers prisoners of war and those missing in action.
And in a Boston suburb, proof that one person can make a difference. Collin Kelly, 9, wouldn't take no for an answer after being told he couldn't plant flowers in this veteran's cemetery because only family members were allowed.
"I saw that they didn't have any flowers and thought that was sad," said Kelly.
The White House called for a 3:00 p.m. eastern time National Moment of Remembrance, for all of us to pause and reflect.

just found it in papers) disproportional Kyo)
thats such a beautiful painting
Great work!
вот этот обалденный получился! Кё устал и отправляется спать)
дааааа, точно) но он деформированный и это безуспешная попытка срисовать с фотки
totally love this!
Kyo's dispropotions reflect his disturbed soul
Whoa, i really really love this. you might say this is disproportional, but i really don't see that. Instead i see that he's leaning his neck to one side, and the other arm is behind his back, so i looks perfectly fine to me. I love the thing on his head, which i am just going to interpret as a witch doctors mask. The shadows are awesome!
))))) thank you, you're so kind...) it's really disproportional and everyone can confirm that)) thing on his head is his arm, but i did it so ugly, that nobody could guess it) and one thing else : i used a photo drawing that, i mean i wanted to do some kind of copy) so shame on me)))
Awesome work
really niceeee !
awsome **_**
disproportional ;( but thank you for attention)
Really cool
Wow, i found it lot gore. Your collor effect on this art seems lot different, to give realistic lighting. Watercolor is impressive to study and find out how to color and shade, even if i prefere other painting styles i find this one lot curious.
it's mixed with a white gouache. So it's not pure watercolors ;( thank you for attention, i really appreciate your support )
so beautiful ahh amazing kyo- i miss so much your art i am so happy that i seee it!

Western Union Sends Its Last Telegram
The era of the telegram, an icon of communication dating back 150 years, came to a quiet end last week. Western Union says it delivered its final telegram on Friday.
Lost and Found Sound
In truth, the telegram long ago succumbed to long distance telephones, faxes, e-mail and instant messaging. Even deliverers who sang them couldn't save telegrams from the dustbin of history. The fact that one final telegram was sent last Friday is a tribute not to the telegram's endurance, but to the glacial tediousness of extinction itself.
What will we remember of the telegram? Probably the prose style the economic of telegraphy engendered. Punctuation cost extra, so the word STOP substituted for a period. Otherwise, it was brevity in the extreme — pronouns, verbs omitted.
The telegram made tabloid headline writers out of ordinary folks sending urgent messages. Sometimes those urgent messages contained the worst news, sometimes the best.
Tom Standage, author of The Victorian Internet, says telegrams were most popular in the 1920s and '30s, when they were cheaper than a long-distance call. But the telephone and e-mail eventually led to the extinction of the telegram.

Islands Generate Bird Biodiversity
Island life sounds quite appealing in winter months as many of us migrate to warmer and lusher locales. Islands and their flora and fauna also hold a special fascination for scientists and naturalists, as they've discovered islands' rich biodiversity and the large proportion of species found on single islands and nowhere else on Earth.
Now, two American Museum of Natural History biologists have overturned conventional thinking that islands are evolutionary "dead-ends" with a study demonstrating that biodiversity flows "upstream"-from islands to continents, as well as "downstream"-from continents to islands-by showing that birds from widely dispersed South Pacific islands have contributed to continental bird biodiversity in Australia.
This new study of a diverse and brilliantly colored bird family-the monarch flycatchers, found throughout Australasia and the tropical Pacific-by Christopher E. Filardi, biodiversity scientist in the Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation and Department of Ornithology, and Robert G. Moyle, research scientist in the Museum's Department of Ornithology and Ambrose Monell Molecular Laboratory, was published in the November 10, 2005, issue of the journal Nature.
Drs. Filardi and Moyle arrived at new estimates of the evolutionary relationships among these birds based on the genetic relatedness among species in an attempt to understand the processes behind the pattern of the birds' geographical distribution. Their analysis shows that a large and diverse array of monarch flycatchers resulted from a single radiation involving nearly every major Pacific archipelago, and that some species with ancestors originating on Pacific islands took hold in Australia and New Guinea at some time in the past. …

NDIA Lists Top Defense Issues for 2003. (Government Policy Notes)
Steffes, Peter M., National Defense
NDIA's Board of Directors has approved the association's "Top Issues for 2003." The issues--which were proposed by NDIA's Government Policy Advisory Committee, whose membership includes all chapter presidents, as well as the chairs of all committees and divisions--are as follows:
Issue 1: Funding America's Defense for Wartime and Transformation.
Defense spending increased by $50 billion for fiscal year 2003. However, 80 percent of the increase does nothing more than make necessary, fact-of-life adjustments that do not contribute to the modernization of the nation's war-fighting capability.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, noted in his 2003 posture statement to Congress that the Defense Department "should spend $100 billion to $110 billion per year for several years to come to re-capitalize today's force structure.
Failure to provide adequate funds for research and development and procurement could cause an already consolidated defense industrial base to lose even more capacity to design, develop and produce future weapons.
While the defense budget must continue to grow significantly, every effort also must be made to keep improving military efficiency and to apply the savings to increased war-fighting capacity.
Issue 2: Sustaining the Defense
Industrial Base
In order to meet its requirements for leading-edge capabilities at affordable prices, the Defense Department must increase investment spending, while strengthening the financial health of the defense industrial base.
However, if a transformation-minded Pentagon is to retain or gain access to the best technology that industry has to offer, many challenges remain.
The department should look upon these challenges as opportunities, as it continues to develop an understanding of the demands and pressures of the defense marketplace, as well as a closer partnership with its private sector suppliers.
Rapidly developing demands for the very different capabilities associated with the services' transformation plans require a fresh assessment of how to accomplish this relatively long-term evolution.
Such an assessment should consider the appropriate balance between the public and private segments, the technology and production base of each sector and the program phasing necessary to sustain each.
Issue 3: Protecting the Defense Industrial Base
To date, the department's critical infrastructure program has only begun to focus on the defense industrial base. This base is itself dependent upon a network of critical infrastructures--electrical power, water supply, transportation and communications--whose vulnerabilities currently are being examined, Interdependencies among base components, however, have yet to be analyzed in detail. As a result, few risk-mitigation measures are now in place to reduce the probability of a terrorist attack against any single component or to ensure continuity of operations.
Assessing the vulnerabilities of the defense industrial base will require industry participation. But for industry to participate fully, these vulnerabilities must be protected from public disclosure.
Issue 4: Improving the International Competitiveness
As part of a comprehensive assessment of U.S. defense trade policies, the administration is examining all export-control laws, regulations and administrative practices to ensure that they appropriately balance national security requirements with continued viability of the defense industrial base.
NDIA strongly supports this assessment. The defense industry has been burdened for many years by inadequacies in the current export-control process. …

"Would you like to purchase some clothing? While you look, why not have some ice cream to cool you down?" To paraphrase a bit, this would be the sales pitch that one might expect to hear from Juana. She recognized demand for these items in her local community and successfully established her business. After having successfully repaid her first loan, Juana is taking another loan to purchase more clothing, hair accessories, and ice cream to sell to her clients. She plans to use the additional profits to finish her home and also to purchase school supplies for her children. In the long term she dreams of sending her child to the university. She thanks you all for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Jeff Horenstein, a 1997 Mountain View High School graduate, is competing for a Sony recording contract and $100,000 on the NBC show, "The Sing Off."
His a cappella group, Groove for Thought, consists of seven singers from Western Washington. He started the group 10 years ago.
Groove for Thought won the National Harmony Sweepstakes Championship in 2005 and the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award for Best Jazz Song in 2006.
Horenstein grew up in Vancouver, where he sang in choirs since he was 5. He now lives in Everett and works as a choir teacher for the Edmonds School District.
Singing on national TV has enabled him to take his passion to a whole new level.
"It has been an absolutely amazing experience, getting to meet and work with so many extremely talented people and getting to share our music with a national audience," the 31-year-old said.
Groove for Thought was still in the running after the second episode last week. The next episode airs at 8 tonight.
Bits 'n' Pieces appears Mondays and Fridays. If you have a story you'd like to share, call Courtney Sherwood 360-735-4561, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Terror by the Book / A Special Report
Hijackers' Meticulous Strategy of Brains, Muscle and Practice
Published: November 4, 2001
(Page 2 of 3)
The plot was first pieced together, they say, at least two years ago, in Hamburg, Germany, where three of the men who would later be leaders and pilots — Mr. Atta, Mr. Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah — were part of a terrorist cell. Three other suspected members of that cell fled in early September and are being sought as accomplices.
Senior law enforcement officials say the Hamburg plotters received the blessing — and, crucially, cash — from Al Qaeda, although investigators say they do not know who in Osama bin Laden's organization approved the operation. Several officials say they suspect it was Mr. bin Laden himself, and investigators have also said his top three associates were involved in the planning. "They met with somebody else who was calling the shots" in Germany, one official said. "But we don't know who that person is.'`
Mr. Shehhi and Mr. Atta received visas to enter the United States in January 2000, and Mr. Jarrah arrived in June of that year. Another pilot, Hani Hanjour, had been living in Southern California since 1996, and two of the logistics men, Nawaq Alhazmi and Khalid al-Midhar, had moved to San Diego in 1999.
Investigators are not certain how the Hamburg and California groups came together, but evidence suggests it was through Al Qaeda channels. Investigators say they have linked Mr. Midhar to the attack on the American destroyer Cole and perhaps to the 1998 bombings of American Embassies in East Africa.
The money for the operation began arriving at branches of the SunTrust Bank and Century Bank in Florida, in the summer of 2000. Mr. Atta received slightly more than $100,000, Mr. Shehhi just less than that amount. About half of the $500,000 used to pay for the operation, senior Federal Bureau of Investigation officials say, was wired by an important bin Laden operative, Mustafa Ahmad, from the United Arab Emirates, and much of the rest from Germany. However, one official said the authorities suspected the money trail began in Pakistan. Travel records show each of the men making several trips in and out of the United States in 2000 and early 2001 — to Spain, Prague, Bangkok and Saudi Arabia. Mr. Atta took seven international trips; Mr. Shehhi took five. In this country, they all had begun taking flying lessons, in Phoenix, San Diego and South Florida.
By spring 2001, the 12 men whom investigators call the muscle had begun to arrive from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government, stung by reports that most of the hijackers had visas from their country, initially said that the hijackers used fake identities stolen from innocent citizens. But the F.B.I. says that it has confirmed the identities of all 19 of the hijackers, and that 15 were Saudis.
While the Saudi government has restricted the F.B.I. and reporters from interviewing the families of the men, the families of some of the foot soldiers have told Arab newspapers that their sons left within the last 18 months, variously saying they were going to seek religious counseling, on pilgrimage or on jihad in Chechnya. An investigator said there was evidence that these men spent at least a year in Al Qaeda training camps.
The family of one, Mohand Alshehri, said he had studied at Imam Muhammed Ibn Saud Islamic University in Abha, Saudi Arabia, for one semester. The father of two others, Wail and Waleed Alshehri, said they had studied to become teachers. Another, Ahmed Alnami, had studied law in Abha. The man the F.B.I. identifies as the third logistics man, Majed Moqed, studied at King Saud University in Riyadh, in the faculty of administration and economics, according to Arab newspapers.
Most hailed from poor villages where fundamentalism thrives. But their families appeared to be on the upper rungs; their fathers were religious leaders, school principals, shopkeepers and businessmen.
None had visited the United States before, and several appeared to speak little or no English. Once they arrived, the logistics men helped them fade into American life.
Hani Hanjour helped some rent an apartment in Paterson, N.J. Others cycled through one apartment in Delray Beach, Fla. Mr. Midhar helped some obtain illegal driver's licenses and photo ID's in Virginia.
The leaders and logistics men seemed to "buddy up" with their junior partners. When Ahmed Alhaznawi had an ulcerated leg, Mr. Jarrah took him to Holy Cross Hospital in Palm Beach County, Fla. At first, Mr. Atta and Mr. Shehhi lived together in Florida; Mr. Shehhi then moved in with Fayez Ahmed , and Mr. Atta with Abdulaziz Alomari, the last hijacker to arrive.
Most of the 19 obtained Social Security numbers, which allowed them to open bank accounts and obtain credit cards. They seemed, the F.B.I. says, to remain self-contained, with little or no help from a support network in the United States. Investigators suspect the help came from money men in the United Arab Emirates and several important lieutenants in Germany and Afghanistan.
Research and Planning
Al Qaeda's manual, which prosecutors say was used in the embassy bombings, outlines three stages of any operation: research, planning and execution.

Purpose, subject and methodology of this study
Studies of international organizations as parties to legal proceedings before national courts have been dealt with in the past mainly using traditional concepts, the two most important of which have focused on the domestic legal personality of international organizations and their immunity from suit. This study is broader in scope. It does not limit itself to issues of immunity or personality and thus does not view the issue from a preconceived legal point of view. Rather, it takes a primarily phenomenological approach: it describes how courts respond to international organizations in proceedings before them.
Although this study focuses on decided cases, it will also analyze scholarly writings and, in particular, the work of the International Law Commission (ILC), the Institut de droit international (IDI), the International Law Association (ILA) and other scholarly bodies entrusted with the codification and development of international law. However, in view of the abundant literature on issues concerning the legal personality of international organizations and their privileges and immunities, theoretical reflections will be kept to a minimum. An effort will be made to address the problems relevant to deciding actual cases. The emphasis is on the way decision-makers handle such problems in the real world of national courts. Therefore, this study will focus on national case law as well as on other legal documents potentially manifesting state practice. This study will not, however, confine itself to analyzing 'how national judges behave' in settling particular types of disputes involving international law. Rather, the comparative analysis will provide a basis for finding 'desired models of [judicial] behavior' for the specific kinds of problems at issue.1____________________

Loring Park restaurants: Where to grab a bite after Rock the Garden
Headed to Rock the Garden this weekend? Couldn't get tickets but want to meet up with all the concertgoers afterword? Besides the obvious proximate choice, 20.21, there are a lot of good options within walking distance of the Walker. (We're still mourning the loss of Auriga--they had such a great late-night happy hour--and sad to see the space continue to sit vacant...)
Here are six picks for getting a post-concert drink, dinner, or dessert. Just be careful trying to cross the crazy, tangled Hennepin/Lyndale intersection--take the pedestrian bridge if it's finished being repaired.
6. La Belle Vie for fancy cocktails Flip-flops and tube tops probably aren't going to cut it in LBV's main dining room, but if you're not too sloppy, you'd do all right in the lounge for one of Johnny Michaels' famous libations. We're curious to try the All New 2010 TCG 1000 (cucumber tequila gimlet with a hint of salt and black bepper) and what looks like a refined Bootleg, This Boot Was Made for Drinking (citrus vodka, gin, green Chartreuse, lemon, mint, and soda). If you're not feeling that adventurous, go with one of our standards, LBV's riff on a G&T, the Prince Albert with Earl Grey tea-infused gin.
5. 4. 3. Joe's Garage, Cafe Lurcat, and Loring Kitchen for outdoor seats All three of these have lovely roof decks, patios, and sidewalk seats, respectively. We'd probably drink a classic Bootleg at Joe's, a glass of wine at Lurcat--we might spring $240 for the bottle of Veuve Clicquot "La Grande Dame" if Sharon Jones stopped by our table--and that drink that tasted like a scented candle from Loring Kitchen.
2. King & I Thai for noodles and curry The music ends at 10 p.m., so you might still be a little hungry. Then pilot yourself to the hip basement digs at King & I for some authentic pad Thai or green curry. King & I also has a large selection of tropical, umbrella-topped drinks, too.
photo by Jessica Anderson
1. Nick and Eddie for dessert How much do we love Jessica Anderson's butterscotch pudding? A lot. How often do we get it? Hardly ever. (How often do we make it at home? Unfortunately, never.) But it might be just the thing to cap off the night before you tuck yourself into bed.

HPQ HOLDS 1/2 THE FLOAT STILL. Wouldn't cost Meg much to do the DEAL. -geez-
Not true. HPQ holds some warrants in SSYS, but not material. HPQ can't even tie their shoes let alone pursue another big acquisition. I would rather see them grow as an independent company.
Given the price action, I'm betting the announcement happens in the next couple days.

Cape's Vibrant History a Global Mix
This week we make our annual celebration of heritage. Heritage Day was set up as one of our national holidays in 1995 at the request of Inkatha, replacing the more specific, and so potentially divisive, Shaka Day just as Soweto Day was broadened into Youth Day and Sharpeville Day into Human Rights Day. But despite these universalising themes, it is our national heritage we are exhorted to recall, even if ignoring it and focusing on braai-ing is just about all we can do to forget our highly fractured past.
For a selective interpretation of history is required to build up a sense of national pride. Most nations, particularly those that emerged out of colonialism in Latin America, Asia and Africa, have had to largely invent such a national past for themselves since their boundaries do not coincide with anything that existed before colonial conquest.
And all nations choose to highlight those aspects of their past that fit their present political and cultural self-image while ignoring those that are more awkward. As the 19th century French historian Ernest Renan famously said, "Getting history wrong is an essential factor in the formation of a nation."
Most academic historians would deny complicity in this creation of national heritage. But it is they who write national histories and teach it in our universities. In so doing they entrench the idea that the past is divided out into national units.
History as the academic discipline we know today (as opposed to history as everything that happened in the past) originated in 19th century Germany during the heyday of nationalism. It was given a major boost by the context of its time and the need to write the history of the new nation. From there it spread to other nations in Europe, the US and into the post-colonial nations of the southern hemisphere, each of which concentrated on its own particular national story. History is still usually taught in our schools and universities in national blocks, even when it deals with periods which long predate the emergence of nation states, which are a relatively modern phenomenon.
The first Professor of History in South Africa was appointed at the South African College in Cape Town in 1902, with a remit to study and write the history of the new nation that was to emerge in 1910 after the bitter divisions of the South African War. The historian's job was to explain the roots of the nation and the challenges it faced.
But here at the Cape we have a particularly awkward relationship with a South African national past.
At one time the 'Old Cape' was seen as the place in which the nation originated with Cape Town as its 'Mother City'. That view of the nation as rooted in a settler colony is no longer viable.
Now we turn to a much older past than the Cape, to Sterkfontein or Mabungubwe, and the story of South Africa has become much more than Cape colonists and their inland expansion.
But in this view, the Cape is often marginalised and seen as somehow 'un-African' in a view of history that continues to be racialised.
However, there is another way of looking at the Cape, one which is in tune with the direction to which many historians throughout the world are increasingly turning. This is a transnational approach, when we no longer see the nation state as the primary focus of reference.
I have found this in my research on the history of Cape slavery. In the 1980s historians were concerned to show that slavery as it existed in the early Cape colony was a vital part of the history of the nation.
The racial and social hierarchies that were set up under slavery prefigured the inequalities of 19th and 20th century South Africa. I still think that this was the case. But more recently we have become aware of the importance of the worlds from which slaves came, such as Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, in shaping their experiences. …

Understanding Dysfunctional and Functional Family Behaviors for the At-Risk Adolescent
Martin, Don, Martin, Maggie, Adolescence
At-risk adolescents and their impact on families and society, as well as characteristics of both healthy and maladaptive families, are discussed. Cognitive distortions of dysfunctional adolescents and their effect on family members, along with methods for intervention and creating more healthy environments, are delineated from a systemic viewpoint.
In the authors' view, the family is the major social unit for emotional development in adolescents. Thus, understanding families helps therapists conceptualize how adolescents develop affectively, behaviorally, cognitively, and psychologically (Vernon, 1998).
The family is an integral social system (Becvar & Becvar, 1988), held together by strong bonds of affection and caring; at the same time, family members exercise control, approval, and dissent for each other's actions. As part of this interaction, every family has a structure, whether dysfunctional or functional, chaotic or rigid. This family organization helps it to achieve goals within a developmental time frame and to survive as a unit (Kessler, 1988; Thompson & Rudolph, 1998).
At-Risk Adolescents
It is estimated that over seven million American adolescents--one in four--are extremely vulnerable to multiple high-risk behaviors and school failure, while another seven million are at moderate risk (Carnegie Council, 1989; Husain & Cantwell, 1992). In today's society, adolescents are apt to become involved with damaging behaviors, particularly those associated with alcohol, drugs, sexual activity, sexually transmitted diseases, and pregnancy. Whether this is due to cultural conditions or erosion of the family unit is debatable (Wicks-Nelson & Israel, 1991).
Unfortunately, along with these pressures, many young people lack guidance and support. The path to adulthood has been described as one of isolation. During adolescence, exploratory behavior patterns emerge. Many of these behaviors carry high risks and have resulted, for example, in an unprecedented number of alcohol-related accidents and school dropouts. The need to develop self-esteem and inquiring minds among our youth has never been more necessary. The Carnegie Council (1989) and other researchers (Thompson & Rudolph, 1998), in formulating goals for educating adolescents, note five characteristics of an effective adolescent:
1. Effective adolescents are intellectually reflective persons who have developing thinking skills. They are able to express themselves in persuasive, coherent writing as well as verbally; they know the basic vocabulary of the arts, math, and sciences, and have learned to appreciate a variety of cultures and languages.
2. They are en route to a lifetime of meaningful work. Work is essential to survival, as well as an integral part of one's identity. Our youth must be knowledgeable about a variety of career options and not be restricted by race or gender. Certainly high school graduation will be a prerequisite for entering the work force and it is hoped that they will understand the advantages of post-secondary education.
3. Adolescents will be good citizens, thus taking responsibility for shaping our world. We need to develop children who are doers, not just subservers--those who can demonstrate on a daily basis their commitment to their own character, their community, and their schools. Also it is hoped that they will understand the basic values of our nation and have an appreciation for both the western and non-western worlds.
4. Adolescents will be caring individuals who are able to think clearly and critically, and act ethically. Our youth must recognize that there is a difference between right and wrong, and must have the courage to act on their convictions. They will model values that have been associated with good family development--including integrity, tolerance, and appreciation of others. They will understand the importance of close relationships with family and friends, recognizing that relationships require effort and sacrifice, and that without them, life has relatively little meaning and can be filled with insecurity and loneliness. …

NEW YORK (AP) — On most construction projects, workers are discouraged from signing or otherwise scrawling on the iron and concrete. At the skyscraper rising at ground zero, though, they're being invited to leave messages for the ages. "Freedom Forever. WTC 9/11" is scrawled on a beam near the top of the gleaming, 104-story One World Trade Center. "Change is from within" is on a beam on the roof. Another reads: "God Bless the workers & inhabitants of this bldg." One of the last pieces of steel hoisted up last year sits near a precarious edge. The message on it reads: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" It is signed by a visitor to the site last year — President Barack Obama.

Millwall supremo excited by Leeds clash
21:09 15 November 2012
EMPICS Sport
Millwall chairman John Berylson is relishing the prospect of the Lions taking on Leeds United on live TV.
The pair have formed a fierce rivalry in recent years and Sunday's game sees the Sky cameras come to The Den.
"There is always a bit of added excitement when we play Leeds United," he said.
"They are a massive club with a great tradition, and our rivalry dates back to some epic encounters we had with them in League One as we both endeavoured to win promotion to the Championship.
"We were then promoted together in 2010 and that rivalry has continued as we now look to establish ourselves in the top half of this division.
"Even though geographically we are not close, games between us create something of a derby atmosphere which usually ensures a thrilling game on the pitch.
"We are looking forward to the game being televised live on Sky TV on Sunday because it gives us the chance to show a wider audience the quality of football Kenny has now got the team playing.
"It is also an opportunity for us to demonstrate the positive side of our club. We have received more than our share of unwarranted negative publicity in recent weeks, and now it is up to us all to use the platform of live TV coverage to show the wider football world that we are a vibrant passionate club with great fans who support their team in the right way."
