Identity theft. We hear about it all of the time nowadays. And as more and more things go virtual, it will be even easier to steal people's identities. As we do online bill pay, online ordering, and even downloading, our information gets passed along digital just waiting for the right identity theft to snatch up our information and use it to their advantage. The question is, do you need a lawyer if you have had your identity stolen?
More than likely, you probably do not need a lawyer. You can find a checklist online that gives you the exact steps you should take if your identity has been stolen. These steps include contacting the credit bureau and informing them that you believe your identity has been stolen. Next, you should file a police report with your local police. Finally, you need to contact each creditor that appears on your credit report that you know to be a false charge and file a claim with them regarding identity theft.
This process can be long and annoying. Many people can also feel very isolated and angry. Having your identity stolen can feel like the most intense violation of your privacy. It is especially frustrating because you often do not discover your identity has been stolen until there is already some type of problem with your credit. And then once you discover the theft, it can feel like you are falling "down the rabbit hole" as you discover the various ways your identity was used illegally.
Though dealing with the aftermath of identity theft does not truly require an attorney, many people choose to hire an attorney during this time to do the main resolution process for them. This saves the person time, money, and frustration. Moreover, attorneys often have more credentials and clout to be able to get the answers they need to resolve the situations faster than you can.
Attorneys can also resolve any legal matters that may arise. You may find yourself in a civil lawsuit because a creditor is suing you for your money that the thief took out in your name. Or you may discover that the person who stole your identity may have broken the law and there is actually a bench warrant out in your name, even though you are not the one who actually broke the law. These situations may sound far-fetched, but they are legitimate situations that have occurred multiple times. In all of these cases, you need to make sure to have an experience lawyer on your side that has lot knowledge in the area of identity theft.
So, though a lawyer for identity theft will be an extra expense, he or she will save you time and money and energy in the long run by doing the "heavy lifting" of getting your identity cleared and your life back to normal. Though I hope you never find yourself in need of an identity thief lawyer, if you ever do, make sure to hire an attorney to help you through the mess.

Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 87
Company: Totally Tasteless Video
Cast: Dick Nasty, Solsa, Andrew Andretti, Katelyn, Pamela Peaks, Misty Mendez, Dino Bravo
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
This one's a bit of a mixed bag, as all of the girls are plump or older, but not necessarily both. Misty Mendez and Katelyn turn in the best scenes, the former being solidly in the MILF category and the latter qualifying for both of the titular fetishes. Mendez delivers a sweaty weightroom fuck with mostly standing positions and hot oral action. Katelyn's passionate scene includes ball-gobbling deep throat and anal (with a condom.)
Solsa is barely 30 years old but the plumpest gal here. Her scene is fairly standard stuff though it includes anal. The last number with Dick Nasty and Pamela Peaks is frankly a bit of a freak show.
Retailing: Probably slightly more appealing for fans of oldies than chubbies, but you could stock it with either category.

"I set out deliberately to write a tour-de-force. Before I ever put pen to paper and set down the first word I knew what the last word would be and almost where the last period would fall." William Faulkner on "As I Lay Dying
"As I Lay Dying is Faulkner's harrowing account of the Bundren family's odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. As they carry Addie in a homemade coffin, pulled along by a team of mules, the Bundrens are haunted by greed and fear their journey both mocks and confirms our humanity. Their story is told in turn by each of the family members including Addie herself as well as those they encounter on their way. This fractured viewpoint epitomizes Faulkner's visceral modernist style, as the varied voices reveal secrets, expose desires, and bring back the dead. A benchmark achievement and one of the most influential novels in American fiction, As I Lay Dying not only endures but prevails.
This edition reproduces the corrected text of As I Lay Dying as established in 1985 by Noel Polk.
About the Author
William Faulkner was an American writer, Nobel Prize laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner. A prolific writer, Faulkner is best known for his novels and short stories, including The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying, which are set in fictional Yoknapatawpha County, and the Snopes trilogy which includes The Hamlet, The Town and The Mansion. Along with Mark Twain, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams and Harper Lee, Faulkner is considered one of the most important writers of Southern literature and is known for his experimental style, including the use of stream of consciousness. Faulkner died in 1962.

HONG KONG (AP) - A second John Woo gangster classic will be updated with South Korean talent.
A publicists' statement says Woo will produce the 3-D, English-language version of his 1989 crime thriller "The Killer."
The Lion Rock Productions film will be directed by Korean-American John H. Lee and star South Korean actor Jung Woo-sung. His credits include "Reign of Assassins" and "The Good, the Bad and the Weird."
The 1989 original starred Chow Yun-fat as a hitman who takes a final job to pay for the surgery of a nightclub singer he blinded accidentally.
A remake of Woo's 1986 film "A Better Tomorrow" opened in September.

LOS ANGELES -- USC freshman running back Dillon Baxter has been suspended for the team's season opener against Hawaii on Sept. 2 for violating team rules, coach Lane Kiffin announced Wednesday.
"I think this is an extremely strong message and a very severe punishment for a player that may potentially be the most-skilled player on our whole roster," Kiffin said. "Hopefully that message not only helps him but helps our team and especially our freshman class."
Kiffin informed Baxter of his decision Wednesday morning and said the freshman would continue to participate in practices and be back on the field for USC's home opener Sept. 11 against Virginia.
Kiffin would not specify what team rules Baxter had broken, and the freshman running back was not allowed to speak to reporters after taking part in Wednesday's practice.
On Tuesday, Baxter and a teammate, freshman wide receiver Markeith Ambles, spent the morning practice running along the sideline as punishment for what Kiffin at the time said was being "late for something."
Baxter, however, was forced to continue with the drills, which included rolling on the turf, during evening practice while Ambles was able to return to practice.
"There are just things that you have your opinion on of whether people make mistakes, whether people make choices on purpose," Kiffin said Tuesday. "I felt Markeith it was more of a mistake and I felt Dillon's was more severe."
Kiffin said he's still trying to decide whether or not Baxter will make the trip with the team to Hawaii.
"I don't know that. I'm still trying to figure that out," Kiffin said. "There are reasons for him to go, I think, so that he sees what he misses and has that feeling and it hurts more. But it's also a Thursday game and with the travel schedule he'd be missing school so I have to figure that out."
Baxter, who enrolled at USC in January after graduating a semester early from Mission Bay High School in San Diego, had a number of highlight-reel plays during spring practice and was being counted on to contribute at tailback and as a returner this season.
"He wasn't happy by any means but he has two choices," Kiffin said. "This is adversity right now for him and he can deal with it two ways, like I told him. He can sit around and pout and think that he's being picked on, used as an example and he can stay over there and we can move on without him or he can take this and move on from here and work to get ready for the Virginia game."

Abstract: The rapid ascendance of deterrence theory and other rational-choice interpretations of criminal behaviour in the 1970s was matched until recently by a failure to examine empirically the criminal decision making of serious offenders. This paper reports the results of an ethnographic investigation of criminal decision making by a sample of persistent property offenders. Following brief introductory comments, we describe our research objectives and methodology. Then we describe salient features of the decision-making processes employed by members of the sample. We argue that improved understanding of criminal decision making by persistent property offenders is gained by exploring how their utilities are shaped and sustained by the lifestyle characteristic of many of them. We suggest that offenders' efforts to acquire the financial and social capital needed to enhance, sustain, or restore enjoyment of this lifestyle may generate a bounded rationality in which they discount or ignore the formal risks of crime.

A text message making its way around the community warns of gang initiation killings scheduled to happen Wednesday at unnamed Walmart stores. However, 11 News has learned it's a hoax with a long history.
The text message reads something similar to this: "Don't go to Walmart tonight some sort of gang initiation, they are supposed to kill 3 girls. Might be fake but better safe than sorry."
Police tell 11 News they are aware of the text message, but aren't commenting on it.
Text message hoaxes similar to this one began back in 2005 in Memphis, GA, and have since circled the country, hitting cities seemingly randomly. We have been unable to find any reports that these occurrences were ever followed by actual violence linked to the warning.
11 News has received numerous calls inquiring about this text message, and we just want the community to know, it's just a hoax.
You'll recall last April (2008), Fountain Police had to deal with a number of reports about a text message that talked about MS-13 gang initiations involving car bumping. That also was a hoax, but created a similar reaction within the community.

(a) Calculate the NAV of an investment company:
NAV is a measure which reflects true worth of each unit of a mutual fund scheme. An investor buys or sells units on the basis of the information contained in the NAV. The full form NAV is NET ASSET VALUE.
The funds of the unit-holders' funds in the scheme are called the Net Assets. If all the assets of the funds are sold, and the scheme's dues other than to unit-holders are paid out, the remaining amount left is the net assets of the scheme. When this amount is divided by the total number of units, the figure which comes out is the Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit. The term "Units" is used interchangeably with "Shares" in case of mutual fund.
NAV is nothing but the price of each unit, which is determined on the basis of the market value of the portfolio (assets) in which the mutual fund has invested, and is calculated at the end of each business day. The unit price is also called net asset value (NAV).
The formula for calculating the NAV is mentioned below:
Substituting the values given in the question in the above formula we get,
Market Value of Assets = $1,050,000
Total Number of Shares Issued=10,000
Therefore the NAV of the fund after paying the liabilities of $50,000 would be $100.
In a mutual fund each time the investor invests money; new shares are created to match the prevailing share buying price for the day. Similarly, each time shares are withdrawn; the assets sold match the prevailing share selling price. In this way, there is no supply or demand created for shares and they remain a direct reflection of the underlying assets. All the investments into the fund and withdrawals from the fund are always priced at End of the Day NAV.
The change in the prices of the securities would change the value of the portfolio; which will change the value of the NAV. In the given question the Market Value of the investments has got doubled to $2,100,000 and value of the liabilities is zero (as it has already been paid), therefore the New End of the Day NAV is:
Therefore the $5,000 deposit would get a credit of 23.81 shares ($5,000/$210)

I was a judge in the Chippewa County Fair talent contest. Other than the lack of a sack of rotten tomatoes for bad performances, I found one other thing stick out from my experience: the momentary suppression of the subjective, of beliefs of artistic value.Of course I kid, I kid about the tomatoes, and I understand if some fairgoer would like to pelt me after the decisions were announced - I tried my best. Sitting in the grandstand, I felt I had a pretty good grasp of what the respective ceilings and floors of the talent range on display were. When the participants finished their song or dance, two other presiding judges and I convened to determine winners and realize we all had very different grasps.For more on this story and others stop by and pick up a copy or subscribe to our newspaper!

(NEW YORK, NY) -- A jury began deciding today whether the former chairman of a Wall Street investment bank provided insider-trading tips to a porn actress who became his mistress.
The deliberations follow the end of a two-week trial in which prosecutors accused James McDermott, 48, of giving confidential information on six potential bank mergers involving his firm's clients to Kathryn Gannon, who acted in adult movies as Marilyn Star.
The seven-woman, five-man jury also will decide the fate of Anthony Pomponio, 45, a New Jersey businessman accused of trading on information he obtained from Gannon during a simultaneous romance with her.
If found guilty, each man faces up to five years in prison on charges of conspiracy and 10 years in prison for each count of insider trading. Each also faces a fine of up to $1.25 million.
Pomponio also is accused of lying to investigators with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and faces a charge of perjury, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years and a maximum fine of $250,000.
$80,000 profit
An SEC investigation into trades by Gannon and Pomponio forced McDermott's firm, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, to cancel a public offering of the company's stock planned for last year that was expected to raise about $85 million.
Prosecutors said McDermott, who earned $4 million a year as chairman and chief executive of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, provided information to Gannon from June 1997 to September 1998 that allowed her to earn nearly $90,000 in illegal profits by trading the stocks of regional banks that entered merger talks.
They said Gannon shared the information with Pomponio, who earned nearly $80,000 by trading the same bank stocks within days and sometimes minutes of Gannon's trades.
Xanax blamed for alleged memory loss
Both men's wives appeared with them in court throughout the trial. McDermott's wife sat behind him in the first row of benches.
Pomponio's wife, Bonnie Clark, testified to boost arguments from her husband's defense attorney that Xanax, a prescribed anti-anxiety drug, affected her husband's memory, so that he may have been forgetful rather than untruthful when he met with SEC investigators.
Noticeably absent from the proceedings was Gannon, 30, who has been a fugitive since December when U.S. authorities issued a warrant for her arrest on charges of insider trading.
800 phone calls estimated
Defense attorneys say McDermott, whose knowledge of the banking industry made him a regular on investment talk shows, provided only stock recommendations to Gannon and that his recommendations were made before he had either confidential or material information on the stocks.
Assistant U.S. attorneys prosecuting the case produced bank records, testimony from bank executives and brokers, and records of some of an estimated 800 phone calls between McDermott and Gannon to demonstrate guilt.
"The only thing the government is asking you at this trial is for a fair and just verdict," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Oh. "The only fair and just verdict for both defendants in this case is guilty."

I have an interesting issue. Technically this is a graphics problem, but the algorithm I'm looking for is not unique to this situation and applies to any array with these constraints. Ultimately I just want to swap 2 pixels in a fragment shader in a reproducable, psuedorandom fashion to simulate GIMP's "spread" noise filter.
As a more general problem, I have a 2 dimensional array of values. I need to be able to iterate every member of the array and swap it with a psuedo-random neighbor (within an nxn neighborhood). This would ordinarily be trivial, but unfortunately at each step of the iteration, a value can only modify itself and is only aware of the values that exist before iterations and the seed to the whole operation. I cannot cache swaps because each iteration is unaware of them, nor can the iteration be stopped or reversed. Therefore, and more formally, I need a function that takes an x,y pair and produces some psuedorandom x',y' such that f(x,y) = x',y' and f(x',y') = x,y where 0<|x-x'| <= n and 0<|y-y'|<= n. I may be overthinking this (or not thinking at all!) but I'm not sure how to approach this, to be honest.
I suspect that any periocidy would be relatively unnoticeable as the input array is already fairly random. Also, the array is only 4196 x 4196 units large, so a relatively short period would not have a chance of recurring. With these two things in mind, a very bad randomizer is perfectly fine. I also dont care if the algorithm can generate collisions - it's just a noise function, the collisions will be more noise as long as they are not very regular.

Why not just select a random point in an appropriately size circle (or square) around each pixel and sample the original image at that point? Does it really need to be swapped with that point? Probably not. (I think this is how GIMP's spread noise works as well)

One simple way would be to create a texture that encodes which values to swap, e.g. use r and g as indices for the position.Then use the screen position as an index into that texture, and use the r and g as relative indices into the original screen image.You could get as fancy as you want creating your index texture because it wouldn't need to be calculated at runtime.

@l0calh05t I actually did that while searching for a "good enough" solution, and it worked within reason. The reason I wanted to avoid it was because the effect influences the total concentration of values at each level. For now, this is "good enough" and I'll go with it, but I was wondering if there was a solution.
@Jefferytitan that's a sensible solution that I hadn't considered. I wonder, though, if I would need to use a texture of equal size (4196x4196) or if a smaller, repeating texture would be "random enough?"
Still, two very nice answers. Thank you both.

I think you could get away with a smaller texture. Remember that you could mix it up somewhat, e.g. it could be rotated and/or reflected, and you could also pack another random texture into the b and a. Combine those together... rotate x 4, horizontal reflect x 2, vertical reflect x 2, other channels x 2, which gives you 32 variations.

Jim McAuley – The Ultimate Frog
Releases like The Ultimate Frog don't come around very often, if at all. This double-disc set from Los Angeles guitarist Jim McAuley is a true transcendence of musical genres; though mostly improvised it does speak to the idea of a gestational improvised music, or of improvisation as the "first" music (the "dik" […]

Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet in Amsterdam, February 13
All About Jazz provides a review of this performance.
Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet
Amsterdam, Netherlands
February 12, 2009
How many larger instrumental ensembles endure for over ten years with the core of the line-up unchanged? In the economic climate of the last decade, not many. All the more remarkable, then, that the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet, which draws its membership from two continents, is now thriving in its eleventh year. Embarking on their latest European tour, the band descended on Amsterdam's Bimhuis, where they held court to a packed house on a cold Friday evening.
