Harvey, How did you get that shot from a building nearby?
Just perused the NYC gallery on your website. LOVE the way you see the city; your images phenomenal.
Thank you Rona.

Engineer Loved Intel, Now Loves AMD More
Donald Newell spent what he describes as 16 great years at Intel, rising in the chip giant's research ranks to senior principal engineer and director for Intel Labs. Now he's taken a central role in technology development at Advanced Micro Devices, a rarity among rivals that rarely hire directly from each other.
"It is unusual," Newell says, relying somewhat reluctantly on a sports cliché that he says is apt. "You get traded from a team you really love working for but go to one you love better."
Not that Newell's move is likely to tip the balance between AMD and a competitor many times its size. But some of the descriptions he gives for the attractions of his new job illuminate a difference of opinion about the future of chip technology.
The issue relates to what to do with all the transistors that manufacturers keep adding to each small square of silicon. Under the march of miniaturization known as Moore's Law, the number of tiny components on a chip has expanded from thousands to millions to billions. One response from Intel and AMD has been to divide up a microprocessor into two, four, eight or more calculating engines, or processor cores.
Both companies now acknowledge that there are limits to the "core wars," as the technology race of the past half decade is sometimes called. For one thing, many PC programs are not easily broken up to into pieces that can be executed simultaneously–at least not in ways that users see much benefit.
So the two chip makers have also discussed using some of the extra transistors for specialized functions. Intel, for example, has already added some circuitry to aid in improving PC security, and vows to do much more–one of the key motivations behind the surprise $7.68 billion purchase of McAfee announced Thursday.
But there is a difference in emphasis. AMD, since its 2006 purchase of ATI Technologies, has seemed more aggressive about moving a greater proportion of computing functions to special-purpose circuitry–particularly to the graphics processing technology that it inherited from ATI, which excels at chores such as video encoding and decoding. AMD is quick to use a term called "heterogeneous computing" for this vision, which will first be realized in chips next year under a strategy it calls Fusion.
Intel, by contrast, seems to regard the general-purpose x86 processor core that run most PC programs as a kind of master while other features on a chip are less-important slaves. If his former company could continue to have all chores run on that core, Newell says, they would.
"I think we have a more holistic view," Newell says of his new employer. "Here at AMD, there is a better understanding of where computing and architecture is going to lead."
An Intel spokesman declined comment.
It's far too early to say which side of this technology debate–if there is one–will prevail. Newell, who serves as the chief technology officer in AMD's server chip division, for now sounds grateful enough that he has an influential role in making technology choices. "I feel so welcome," he says.

DeCode: Stop-and-go phase III trial
Reykjavik – The Icelandic biotech company deCode Genetics has voluntarily stopped its most advanced clinical project (DG031) for the treatment of heart attack due to an unexpected formulation problem. As the company said, the tablets used in the study appeared to dissolve more slowly than expected and the company had concerns that this could affect the trial's success.
DeCode's drug development covers common diseases such as heart attack, thrombosis or asthma. The company is specialized in genetic research, based on the scientific exploitation of the Icelandic Genealogic Database. The heart attack compound DG031 (veliflapon) is the most advanced project and according to the company the phase III trial will re-start in "several months". The issue will be presented to the FDA and alternative manufacturing processes are explored. Nevertheless, the stop-and-go-procedure seems to have produced an financial gap: In November, the company raised a62million on the sale of convertible notes due in 2011.

Ubuntu Edge Falls Short of Goal
Canonical's effort to raise $32 million on Indiegogo to fund its Ubuntu-powered Edge smartphone fell far short of its goal.
Still, the crowd-funding campaign had an impressive $12.8 million haul, passing the previous Indiegogo record of $10.3 million for the Pebble Smart Watch. As Ben Rooney put it last week, it's proof that you can be a winner and a loser at the same time.
Canonical offered exclusive access to the Edge at launch for $695, with the first shipments expected in May 2014. The U.K. company has said none of the money will be collected. As the Verge recounted, Canonical saw a rush of initial backers but support slowed and the fund stood at $8.3 million as of Aug. 7. Canonical tinkered with various pricing models to get the crowd-funding going again.
Still, pulling in more than $10 million is an impressive feat. Why did Edge grab so much interest?
The smartphone has impressive technical specs — on paper only at this point – including 128 gigabytes of storage and the ability to boot into two different operating systems: Google's Android and the mobile version of Ubuntu, the Linux-based OS delivered by Canonical. The Edge could connect to any monitor and transform into a full blown PC.
Ubuntu is among a handful of alternative mobile operating systems that want to take on Apple iOS and Android. Handset makers and telecom carriers are embracing alternatives, hoping to bring down prices and free the smartphone market from the virtual duopoly.
Microsoft and BlackBerry are the mainstream challengers, but other alternatives include Mozilla's Firefox and Tizen, a system being developed by Samsung Electronics and Intel.
On his Indiegogo page, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth praised the effort:
Let's not lose sight of what an achievement that is. Close to 20,000 people believed in our vision enough to contribute hundreds of dollars for a phone months in advance, just to help make it happen. It wasn't just individuals, either: Bloomberg LP gave $80,000 and several smaller businesses contributed $7,000 each. Thank you all for getting behind us.

Christmas Goodies
It's my favourite kind of day today, bright blue sky and chilly scarf and hat wearing weather, the perfect autumnal day to start getting excited about Christmas.
I am very excited to show you some of our new festive products, that we are adding to our web shops right now.
My favourite first.... Belle & Boo retro paper chains, they remind me so much of my childhood, I can't wait to decorate EVERYWHERE in them this Christmas! it took a really, really long time to work out how to fasten them, we didn't want to lick or glue or staple, so Clare's very clever husband came up with a cunning paper slotting system, it makes my brain hurt just thinking about it but it works!
We have a charity Christmas card pack 4 each of 3 snowy designs, so that's 12 in total with traditional kraft envelopes.
25% of all profits from each pack will be donated to Bristol Children's Help Society helping underprivileged children take a break.
New tags that look very cute with our new gift wrap
and what about this gorgeous Christmas tape, we wanted our kraft envelopes and boxes to look like they had been screen printed with this snow scene, it was a little bit tricky working out the logistics but I am thrilled with the end result, expect to see it on any Belle & Boo parcels that come your way.
Then we have sweet, sweet tins, literally!
We are selling them filled or unfilled; with sweets on our website and unfilled on Etsy, so check out both. They are such a great price and beautifully printed, the perfect stocking filler and the sweets are yummy, I should know I have eaten far too many!
Talking of yummy and a stocking filler we also have a Boo cookie cutter, which I used for the first time yesterday. It comes with a recipe for 'Grandbunnies Special Spicy Biscuits' which are delicious and Christmasy. Adding boo's eye is optional, I used a kebab skewer, ouch!
In the next few days we will be adding a fun gift wrap pack, so thats wrap, tags and stickers and some really lovely fabric for all those Christmas craft projects, so check back here soon.
On another note, sorry for disappearing for so long, Russ and I took a much needed break too Devon, we slept, ate, he surfed and I walked it was perfect.

Listen Up! Here's How to Read Your Voicemail Messages…with a Virtual Phone Number
When you rely on a traditional phone number (as opposed to a virtual phone number) for your business communications, voice mail messages can pile up while you're out of the office or away from your phone. This can create stress, because, since the messages are often from important clients or customers, responding becomes an urgent item on your constantly growing "to do" list.
For a small business, every call is important. You can't afford to miss a single voice mail message, because, as Murphy's Law holds, the one call you miss may be that big deal you've been waiting for.
When you listen to a voice mail message, you generally get an idea of what the caller needs or wants. This context is important because it prepares you for your response. After listening to the voice mail message, you can be ready to give a sales pitch, explain certain aspects of your service, provide quality consulting, or answer relevant questions. This makes understanding the message, and its context, very important.
But what if the voice mail is garbled, or a long winded soliloquy? Even more problematic — what do you do when you can't access voicemail because you are traveling or because the battery of your cell phone goes dead? Or, what if the voicemail relates to an urgent matter, but you aren't able to access it for at least few hours after it was sent?
For these reasons, and more, you need to be able to do more than simply listen to the voicemails you receive. This might sound odd, or even impossible, but there is actually a simple solution: Get a virtual phone number with a voice mail service that transcribes and sends all of your voicemails to you as an email and/or text message. The process is know as Voice-to-Text and is a standard feature with most call forwarding services.
With a virtual phone number like Global Call Forwarding, your voicemails are transcribed and sent as a text message or email to make sure that you stay in touch with your business. Voicemails sent as text messages account for the times when you can't answer your cell or mobile device but could take a quick look at the screen.
Voicemails sent as emails ensure that you receive those important messages when you don't have access to your phone due to unexpected circumstances like battery failure, a lost phone, power off, or are in "Do Not Disturb" mode.
When you have a virtual phone number, as long as you are connected to the Internet, you will receive your voicemails. And, with the growing availability of wi-fi on planes now, wouldn't it be great to be able to "read" your voicemails, and reply via email, all from 30,000 feet? Talk about hitting the ground running!
Having messages sent as text is also a good way to document and archive all of your communications with clients, and gives you the opportunity to quickly respond with a text message or email when you can't call.
Experience the benefits of receiving transcribed voicemails as a text messages or email.

I have discovered something that I know most people will not believe. The vast majority of people on planet earth are small minded and empty headed. Chess players are supposedly different and so I will tell it to you. My discovery is Chinese Health Balls. These are steel balls you hold in your hand and twirl around. They stimulate the acupuncture points in your hand which is connected to the heart and brain and other vital and not so vital organs, thus stimulating them. Whether or not one believes in Chinese medicine I have found these balls are very relaxing and perhaps that is how they work, by relaxing you. Regardless--notice I didn't say, "irregardless"--in addition to improving my overall health, I have found using these balls has improved my chess game. Believe it or don't.

Android development is a fun experience, allowing those technically adventurous types to make really interesting applications for a variety of different devices. Google has made development even more accessible for the Android platform with its ADT Bundles- development environments requiring very little setup and are ready to go out of the box. For those readers interested in this turn key approach to set up a development environment and primarily own a mac, here is a step by step tutorial from download to debug.
Step 1: Download and Launch the ADT Bundle
As with any installation of new toolkit, the first step is downloading the necessary tools, which can be found at this link:
After going through the Terms and Conditions and downloading the app, you should end up with a zip file containing the latest version of the ADT Bundle for OSX found in your browser's specified Downloads directory. Using a terminal instance, unzip the contents to a desired location in your home directory:
unzip ~/Downloads/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64.zip -d ~/.
Now that we have the ADT Bundle extracted, we are ready to start. In order to launch the ADT IDE, open up the extracted bundle directory in an Finder instance. Next, click on the OSX application "eclipse.app" found in the root of the bundle directory:
Doing so should normally start an instance of prebundled Eclipse IDE environment for android. As mentioned earlier, the ADT IDE is built on the Eclipse platform, which requires a java runtime to run. If you do not have the java installed on your mac, you will be given a prompt to install the latest Java JRE that Apple supports:
Go ahead and select install to get the JRE on your system. After the installation completes, relaunch the eclipse.app icon in Finder and you should be ready to go.
Once you get Eclipse running, the you will be prompted with is where should you put your development workspace:
Select the location that suits you best and click ok, which will bring you into the Eclipse IDE:
Step 2: Configure your Android Device Emulator
One of the niceties about the ADT bundle is that there are emulator images out of the gate, without any additional downloads required. Creating a virtual device is pretty painless with this prepackaged setup, which we will do this for our next step in this tutorial.
To start creating a new virtual device, we first need to ensure that we are viewing ADT in the Java perspective. To do so, select Window -> Open Perspective -> Other. In the dialog that opens, select the perspective titled "Java (default)":
After selecting "OK" in this dialog, open the Android Virtual Device Manager by selecting Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager from the Menu Bar. This will launch the Android Virtual Device Manager, a utility to manage Android emulators running on the ADT development environment. SInce this is the first time we are using the device manager, We need to create a new device for our future Android projects. To do so, select "Device Definitions" in the device manager to create your first device image. We are going to be emulating a Nexus 7 tablet in this tutorial, so select the Nexus 7 template and select "Create AVD":
The device emulator currently includes some nice features as GPU acceleration and running from a previously booted snapshot of the image. For this tutorial, we will just use the default settings, so select "OK" with the selected options to create a new image to emulate a Nexus 7. You will now see a new device image in the "Android Virtual Devices" view. Select the newly created device and start the image, using all the default launch options.
Select "Launch" to start up the Android Arm Emulator running this selected image. In a few minutes, the device should finish booting, showing the android home screen:
Click the blue "OK" button in the emulator window and leave the virtual device running in the background. We will use this image later in the tutorial when we debug our first app.
Step 3: Create an Android Project in the ADT IDE
Now that we have the IDE installed and an emulator running, we are ready to create our first Android Project. This is an eclipse project using convential views of this IDE, with highly customized tools used for Android device development.
To get started, close out the welcome screen (press "X" in the tab) to reveal the empty development workspace in the eclipse Java perspective:
To add our first Android project to the workspace, select File -> New -> Android Application Project from the menu bar. This should launch the first page of the "New Android Application" wizard. To identify this project in the workspace, enter "Test" as the Application Name, "Test" as the Project Name, and "com.testdomain.test" as the Package Name:
We are going to stick with the default settings for now, so click next through the next 3 screens and leaving the settings unmodified. On the last screen of the wizard, select "Finish" which creates a new project called "Test" in our workspace:
Be default, our design environment is configured to support the UI of a Nexus One device. We want to match a Nexus 7 device, since it was we are targeting with our emulator. To do so, select the layout for our default activity in activity_main.xml (this should be already open for you in the design area of the project). Then, select the option to match the Design time theme with the Nexus 7 emulator image by clicking "AVD_for_Nexus_7_by_Google":
With this, you will see our design time environment change to that of a Nexus 7 device:
Since we will not be doing any custom development in this project, we are ready to continue on with our tutorial.
Step 4: Setting up the Debugger
The final step in our getting started tutorial is configuring the IDE for debugging with a running emulator image. To do this, open up the Debug Configurations Manager by selecting Run -> Debug Configurations from the menu bar:
To create the configuration for our project select "Android Application" as the configuration type and press the "New Configuration" icon. This will create a configuration that matches tools and interop with the android debugger. In the new window, rename the configuration to "Test" and select the project associated with this configuration to be "Test" as well:
Next, we want to set up the debugger when lauching to pick a running instance instead of launching a new one each time. This is a real time saver when using the integrated debugger in the ADT eclipse bundle, reducing debugging launches from several minutes to a few seconds. To do so, select the "Target" tab, then select "Always prompt to pick device". This allows us to attach to the running emulator that IDE can detect:
Click "Apply" and "Close", and we now have a debug configuration we can use efficiently with this project.
The last step is a simple one of adding a breakpoint to our project. To do so, select the the "Package Explorer" pane, open up src -> com.testdomain.test -> MainActivity.java. Select the first line of the onCreate method and add a breakpoint by pressing Command > Shift > Break on the keyboard:
We now have debugging configured, and are all ready to launch the application.
Step 5: Launch And Debug the Application from the Emulator
Since we have gone through the previous steps, launching and debugging is very straight forward. To start from the menu bar, launch the application in debug mode by selecting Run -> Debug. We can also use the default shortcut key of Command > F11, assuming that OS mappings enabled for this key. Once the debugger is started. we will immediately be prompted with the "Android Device Chooser". Select the image "AVD_for_Nexus_7_by_Google" to get running:
Once this selected, Eclipse will prompt the developer that the IDE perspective is going to change to the Debug perspective. This perspective makes it easier durring debugging, opening up the debugger play controls and appropriate debugging tools windows. We want to enable this pretty much all the time, so check "Remember my decision" and select "Yes":
The environment will switch to Debug perspective with our app launching in the emulator. You will see that the breakpoint we set earlier has been hit and the application is suspended. From here we can inspect variables, view the stack, and control the debugger with the play controls:
After inspecting the state of the Application in the debugger, lets let the app run and render on the screen. To do so, select the Resume button or the shortcut key F8. We now see the application running, our end our tutorial:
Next steps: Develop!
If you followed this tutorial successfully, you should have in place the basic steps needed for development of and Android Application on your Mac OSX pc: Installing the IDE, Setting up an emulator instance, creating a test application, configuring the debugger for speedy development, and launching the debugger to use in the application. Now, with (a lot of) further research in the Android programming model and their APIs, application development is possible and you are all set to go.

Left Behind
By George Packer
Published: September 22, 2002
One Saturday morning in November 1994, Ramsey Clark, attorney general under President Johnson and more recently a spokesman for radical Arab causes, met in his Manhattan office with a criminal defense lawyer named Lynne Stewart. Clark wanted Stewart to take on a new client -- Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind Egyptian cleric and the spiritual leader of the worldwide jihad movement, whose most recent address before the Metropolitan Correctional Center was a fourth-floor apartment in Jersey City. The sheik was about to go on trial for directing a conspiracy among his followers to bomb sites around New York City, including bridges, tunnels and the United Nations. His previous attorneys, the left-wing lawyers William Kunstler and Ronald Kuby, had been taken off the case because they represented other defendants who had conflicts of interest with Abdel Rahman. The sheik had dismissed his court-appointed lawyer. A month before trial, Clark told Stewart that only she could do the job.
In 1994 Stewart had barely heard of Hamas or Hezbollah, let alone the Islamic Group of Egypt, a violent fundamentalist organization that targeted Coptic Christians, secular intellectuals, policemen and foreign tourists, and for which the sheik provided inspirational leadership. Political Islam was not, as she puts it, on her ''radar.'' Most of her clients were young black and Latino men accused of ordinary crimes, but throughout the 1980's, she also defended members of the radical American underground. Stewart was a ''movement'' lawyer -- she didn't just defend the legal rights of her clients; she also advocated their politics. Friends warned her that the sheik wasn't her kind of client. He was a religious fascist who opposed everything that the feminist, atheist and vaguely revolutionary Marxist Stewart stood for.
What concerned Stewart, though, was not the sheik's politics but her own ability to represent him with almost no time to prepare. The little she knew of the sheik himself -- a man hounded by the government, accused of masterminding a terrorist plot on which he seemed to have left no fingerprints -- appealed to her. All morning in Ramsey Clark's office, Stewart wavered. Finally Clark told her that if she refused, the Arab world would feel betrayed by their friends on the American left. So she agreed to take the case.
As Stewart got to know her new client, she came to see him as a fighter for national liberation on behalf of a people oppressed by dictatorship and American imperialism. She came to admire him personally too, for his honesty, his strength of character, his teasing humor.
''I've made up my mind,'' the sheik would say. ''I'm going to marry you, and that will solve everything.''
''And what do women get if they fight in jihad?'' she would ask.
''Eternity in paradise with whichever of your husbands you like best.''
''Husbands? That's all we get?''
Stewart threw herself into the case with the passion for which she was known in criminal-defense circles. At trial she tried to convince the mostly black jury that the sheik was not an unfamiliar figure to them. ''He has advocated for the suffering of his people at home, in Egypt,'' she said in her opening argument. ''He has advocated by any means necessary, and that is not acceptable to this government.'' Prints of John Brown's home and grave hang in her office, and in her summation she invoked his spirit. But this time Stewart misjudged her audience. When the jury returned with a conviction, she wept.
In 1995, few people were paying attention. Today, the trial transcript reads like a 20,000-page prelude to Sept. 11: sleeper cells, secret funds, international jihad, connections to a group called Al Qaeda and a man named bin Laden.
Stewart stayed by the sheik over the years of appeals, paid minimally by contributions from his Muslim supporters, who now regarded her as their champion. She was laboring under the restrictions imposed by the government's Special Administrative Measures, or SAM's, which curtail the activities of convicted terrorists to prevent them from plotting future acts of terrorism. Stewart, like other lawyers in this situation, had to sign an agreement not to pass information to or from clients except for strictly legal purposes.
Then in May 2000, at a meeting with Stewart in the federal prison in Rochester, Minn., the sheik dictated a statement to his Arabic translator, Mohammed Yousry, calling for an end to the cease-fire between the Islamic Group and the Egyptian government. The statement was phoned to Islamic Group leaders by Ahmed Abdel Sattar, a Staten Island mailman and follower of the sheik who had worked as a paralegal on the case. The sheik's followers in Egypt doubted the statement's authenticity -- until Stewart herself, in violation of the SAM's, held a press conference a few weeks later to confirm that Abdel Rahman advocated withdrawal from the cease-fire.
She imagined that she might be cut off from the sheik. She did not know that her prison conversations with the sheik were being taped by a court order stemming from Sattar's activities with the Islamic Group. And she did not imagine what would happen on April 9 of this year, when she was handcuffed outside her Brooklyn town house by F.B.I. agents and arraigned in federal court in Manhattan on two counts of lying to the government and two counts of aiding a terrorist organization. Attorney General John Ashcroft himself flew to New York to announce Stewart's indictment, along with those of Yousry, Sattar and an Islamist in London. The trial will begin next year. Stewart, now 62, faces 40 years in federal prison.

Aiding the elderly: Churches again shelter nursing home evacuees
By Peter Finney Jr.
BATON ROUGE, La. (CNS) -- John Tieperman, executive director of Chateau de Notre Dame nursing home in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, was about 15 minutes away from going home Aug. 26 to enjoy his weekend when he got an ominous call from his wife.
"Have you seen the TV?" she asked. "You'd better turn it on."
With little warning, meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center radically changed the projected landfall of Hurricane Katrina westward from the Florida panhandle to the southeast Louisiana coast.
"I grabbed my staff and we were there until 8 o'clock planning what might happen," Tieperman said.
What happened the next day was a meticulously choreographed evacuation of about 300 seniors -- many in extremely fragile health -- to temporary shelters at St. George and St. Thomas More churches in Baton Rouge.
The 79-mile trip is so taxing that some residents have been known to die in transit. But there was little choice because there is no way to care for elderly residents in an area without electricity or water.
Tieperman said the same two parishes greeted the residents last year during the evacuation from Hurricane Ivan. Each parish was even better prepared this year, marshaling several hundred volunteers, including teens and medical personnel, to help keep the residents safe, fed, bathed and entertained during the ordeal. On Aug. 31, all the residents were shifted once again to more permanent nursing facilities in southeast Louisiana.
"The kids were just overwhelming," Tieperman said, referring to the teens who played games and simply talked to the residents. "There were two and three kids around every resident, smiling and talking to them. One of the residents liked it so much last year that she said she'd been to a resort."
The work is backbreaking and unglamorous. Barbara Chenevert, liturgy coordinator at St. George, said parishioners helped clean residents' diapers and took their clothes home to wash and dry them. The toughest part was unloading and loading the residents onto the buses because some were in intense pain.
"St. George has been blessed with beautiful families, and everyone wants to share their talents for the common good," Chenevert said. "This trip has been tremendously stressful for the residents and also for the staff members who came with them. The staff members don't even know where their family members are back in New Orleans. Some of them know their homes were destroyed, but they kept going."
The St. George gym resembled a large hospital ward. Some of the residents slept on foam mattresses, and some remained in their hospital beds while attached to oxygen masks and feeding tubes.
Shelley McClanahan, a registered nurse with Chateau, said she was amazed at the warm greetings her staff received, especially the unexpected massages that were offered to the caregivers.
"It's overwhelming to see their love and concern," she said. "They had such a willingness to do anything they were asked to do."
One of the staff nursing assistants made the trip and left her 9-month-old daughter back home in New Orleans with her sister. As of Sept. 1, she had not heard how her sister and daughter fared during the storm. But the same nursing assistant elicited tears when she sang a gospel song to conclude a prayer service.
"She knew her home was probably gone, but she didn't know anything about her baby," McClanahan said.
Even McClanahan had reason for anxiety. She had no clue as to the whereabouts of her husband, Ray, who lived in a flooded area of New Orleans. But just as she was ready to leave the gym, she turned to see her husband walking through the gym door, and the two embraced.

Home > Community > Health Library > Violent Behavior
Anger and arguments are normal parts of healthy relationships.
But anger that leads to threats or violence, such as hitting or hurting,
is not normal or healthy. Physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual abuse are not
acceptable parts of any relationship.
Violent behavior is any behavior by an
individual that threatens or actually harms or injures the individual or others
or destroys property. Violent behavior often begins with verbal threats but
over time escalates to involve physical harm.
Violence is learned behavior, so it is especially important to help
your children learn that violence is not a healthy way to resolve conflict. Set
a good example by handling conflict in a calm and thoughtful manner. Never use
violence, such as spanking, pinching, ear pulling, jabbing, shoving, or
choking, to discipline your child.
There are some things that can make a person more likely to be violent. These include:
Violent behavior may occur in cycles. First,
there is conflict and tension. This is followed by abuse of another or
destruction of property. This pattern usually repeats itself and gets worse
over time. If there is a cycle, learning to recognize
it may help you prevent violence from occurring.
If you are angry, hostile, or have violent behavior, it is important
to find help. You can learn ways to control your feelings and actions.

Kerry 2-12 Kildare 0-11
Updated: Saturday, 03 May 2008 21:17
Kerry were crowned All-Ireland Under-21 football champions at Thurles tonight, when two Mike O'Donoghue goals inspired them to victory over Kildare.
The Munster champions had to work hard for this result, but they always held the edge in terms of strength, teamwork, speed of thought, and directness of action.
Eoin O Flairheartaigh fired over two early points, as the Lilywhites eased into a 0-3 to 0-1 lead.
But Alan Smith's eighth minute point signalled the beginning of a Kingdom onslaught, and after Tommy Walsh had launched a long-range point, they went in front with an O'Donoghue goal in the 14th minute.
It was wing-back Aidan O'Sullivan who weaved his way through, exchanging passes with team-mates on the way, before his final delivery found O'Donoghue, who gave Niall McConnell no chance with a bullet to the roof of the net from 12 yards.
The Munster champions turned the screw, with Paul O'Connor, Paddy Curran and David Moran all hitting the target with style and precision for a commanding 1-5 to 0-3 lead.
Having gone 17 minutes without scoring, Kildare finally got themselves back into the game in the closing stages of the half, thanks to the promptings of centre-back and captain Gary White.
It was his pass that sent O Flathairteaigh in on goal, and when he really should have tested 'keeper Tomas Mac an tSaoir, he blazed over the bar.
Scores from Mark Waters and Alan Smith from a free, narrowed the gap, and at the break Kerry held a slender 1-5 to 0-6 advantage.
They pressed on after the restart too, for Paul O'Connor (2) and David Moran to stretch the lead to five inside five minutes.
Finally, Kildare discovered the value of a more direct game, and Tom Byrne's long delivery set up a much-needed first score for Gavin Smullen.
But with substitute Kieran Brennan making a useful impact in the Kerry midfield, the Kingdom were still building, and when John Buckley and Kieran O'Leary combined in a neat move, O'Donoghue was in precisely the right place to take and drill home his second goal on 41 minutes.
Kildare kept plugging away, and were rewarded with scores from John Fogarty and O Flaitheartaigh, with his fifth.
And they were denied a goal by Colin O'Mahoney's heroic block on Smullen, who had rounded the 'keeper after being sent through by Alan Smith's perfect through ball.
Kerry: T Mac an tSaoir, C O'Mahoney, M Moloney, S Enright, A O'Sullivan, K Young, G Duffy, D Moran (0-2), A O'Sullivan, K O'Leary (1-1 (1 free), J Buckley (0-1), M O'Donoghue (2-0), P Curran (0-2), T Walsh (0-1), P O'Connor (0-5, 3 frees).
Subs: (24), K Brennan for Duffy (h-t), E Hickson for O'Sullivan (53), B Looney for Buckley (57), E O'Neill for O'Donoghue (59)
Kildare: N McConnell, C Brophy, D Brennan, S Murphy, J Browne, G White, T Byrne, M Waters (0-1), N Higgins, D Whyte, E O Flaitheartaigh (0-5, 1 free), K Kelly, S Fahy, A Smith (0-2, 2 frees), G Smullen (0-1).
Subs: N Clinch for Brophy (24), J Fogarty (0-1) for Kelly (34), J Concoman for Whyte (43), M O'Sullivan (0-1) for Fahey

Unemployment Fund Idea Advances
Back in June, we suggested that policymakers charting an overhaul of the euro currency union might want to take a look at a 1977 (!) document known as the MacDougall report.
The report examined the level of fiscal integration — i.e. financial transfers from one part of Europe to another — necessary to support a currency union. One way of cushioning differences in economic power, its authors said, could be the creation of a "community unemployment fund" that would pay part of a worker's benefits if he lost his job.
Now, to our great delight, someone may just have followed our advice. Or, perhaps more realistically, that someone just happened to have had the same idea. Either way, French officials are now in favor of setting up a common pot to finance at least part of short-term unemployment insurance in the euro zone. French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici and Benoît Coeuré, the French member of the executive board of the European Central Bank, have both publicly backed the idea here and here.
Setting up such a fund was discussed last week in bilateral talks between the European Council and representatives from euro-zone states on the planned overhaul of the currency union, according to European officials.
The proposed fund would help only those who have been unemployed for a relatively short time, not the long-term unemployed, to avoid permanent transfers, one of the officials said. Yet, if it ever becomes reality, it could begin to help countries like Greece and Spain, whose unemployment rate is at record highs, while others such as Germany and Austria are enjoying their lowest levels in years.
That "if" is rather significant, however. Officials caution that discussions on "fiscal union" in the euro zone are at a very early stage and, crucially, Germany has some other ideas. Berlin has signaled it's open to setting up a limited budget for the currency union, according to two European officials, but it wants the money to be used to finance economic reforms designed to improve the competiveness of some the bloc's weaker members. (Read our full story here).
Even that idea isn't completely alien to the authors of the MacDougall report (among them Horst Reichenbach, now the head of the EU's Task Force for Greece). They argued that one of the most dangerous consequences of a joint currency would be a loss in competiveness as workers in the weaker countries demand wages similar to those in the stronger economies.
That may be where the reality of national politics after four years of economic crisis strays from the theory of 1977. Even if the euro zone can agree on a centralized budget, it's very hard to see that it will reach the 5% to 7% of gross domestic product that the MacDougall report said was the bare minimum for sustaining a currency union.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
by Frederick Douglass
Edward Covey Timeline and Summary
- Douglass is rented out to work on Mr. Covey's farm
- Covey whips Douglass for overturning an ox-cart. He continues to beat him for about six months.
- When Covey tries to whip Douglass for fainting, Douglass runs away to his original master's house.
- When Douglass's master sends him back to Covey, Covey bides his time until he can catch Douglass off guard. He then tries to tie him up.
- Douglass refuses to be tied and the two men fight for almost two hours.
- Covey gives up, but talks to Douglass as if he won the fight.
- From that point on, Covey never beats Douglass again. In fact, he keeps it a secret that Douglass stood up to him, since he would lose his reputation as a slave-breaker if anyone knew.

It believe was 2002 at the Des Moines Challenge when I first met Becky? It was my first competitive tournament outside of Ottumwa. I was nervous and could barely contain myself.
She must have saw my worry in the sign-up tent and kindly took me aside and spoke with me in private about what to expect at the tournament. She told me that everyone there would help me relax and have fun. "Because that's what disc golfers do. They have fun" she said. She was right, everyone I played with had an attitude of ease and enjoyment.
I have seen many posts on here about how instrumental she has been to the DM golf scene and the sport of disc golf in general. I see the love and support you have all given to her in her times of need. I commend you all for being dear friends to her.
I have seen Becky only a few times since that tournament and may have spoken to her once. Regardless, I will never forget the kindness and willingness she displayed to help a stranger feel at ease. I think of her every time I go to Ewing. That is where she made me feel at home when I felt worlds away. Thank you Becky! I will never forget that.
Not only our sport, but the world needs more people like Becky.
My thoughts are with you during this time and I pray that you have a speedy recovery!!
Tim Ragen

Britain has announced it will hold a public inquiry into the death of former KGB spy Aleksandr Litvinenko.
The decision means investigators can look into whether the Russian state played a role in the death of Litvinenko.
Home Secretary Theresa May announced the inquiry on July 22.
The decision comes at a time of rising tensions between Britain and Russia.
Litvinenko -- speaking on his deathbed after he was poisoned in London in 2006 -- accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of ordering his murder.
Last year, the British government rejected a request for an inquiry into Litvinenko's death.
Litvinenko died a few weeks after drinking tea poisoned with a rare radioactive isotope in a plush London hotel.
The Kremlin has always denied any involvement in Litvinenko's death.

Alicestyne Turley-Adams
History Content Writer
Alicestyne Turley-Adams, the writer of the history section of the Web site, grew up hearing stories about her family's involvement with the Underground Railroad. There is an oral tradition that her great-grandmother Susan escaped from slavery in Alabama and married Moses Turley when she arrived in Kentucky around the time of the Civil War. Moses Turley escaped from slavery in Virginia and may have been a conductor helping others to escape from Kentucky into Ohio, according to the family history.
Alicestyne's childhood was so steeped in these family stories that she never thought it wasn't true until she went to college. "My professors at Georgetown College considered the underground railroad folklore, not history; but they said if you don't think we're right, prove us wrong. So I became fascinated with African American history and how it's been written and interpreted to this point."
Alicestyne has two Master's degrees, one in history and one in public administration. Alicestyne's long years of researching these topics have made her "passionate about the importance of writing things down." She hopes more people will want to document and preserve their family and community histories. "Important artifacts are being lost because no one knows they're there, or knows their importance."
She finds the significance of the documentary is that it "adds to the knowledge that's available and gives us a new look at American history in terms of the mix of race, class, culture and gender that really went on from 1830-1860."
The benefit of having a fuller picture of history is "it will help us better understand society today," she said. "It's unfortunate but people are basing their perceptions and becoming voters and decision-makers with an incomplete knowledge of history."
"It's important to integrate these stories into the larger picture. African American history has been isolated and pigeon-holed; it needs to be brought into the historic fabric of America.

The Morning Risk Report: Canada Sounds Alarm on Money Laundering
Compliance officers spend a lot of their time fretting about transgressions in the developing world but a report from Canada's Senate banking committee released on Wednesday underlines the fact that financial crimes are a big problem in developed countries too.
The report said Canada's laws related to money laundering and counter-terrorism finance aren't working and need a major upgrade. The committee investigated the issue for a year and pointed to several flaws in the current regime including a lack of communication among different government agencies and a lack of scrutiny of electronic cash transfers. The Toronto Sun quoted the committee chair Irving Gerstein as describing money laundering controls as a "continual game of catch-up."
This report comes a month or so after the Canadian government announced a planned upgrade to its anti-bribery laws, with a view to making it easier to prosecute Canadian companies for bribes paid in foreign countries. One major Canadian company, engineering concern SNC-Lavalin Group, is currently being investigated over allegations of bribe-paying. It is cooperating with the investigation.
Previously, Canada has been criticized for laxity in enforcement of anti-bribery laws, including by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Since then, however, there have been signs of a pickup in enforcement. Claudia Feldkamp, an attorney and co-chair of the corporate social responsibility practice group at law firm Fasken Martineau, told the Wall Street Journal previously that this was the result of international pressure, which is not the first time that peer pressure has forced the hand of a country's regulators.
Most small businesses don't recover from cyber-attacks. At a meeting Thursday of the U.S. House Small Business Subcommittee, a study by chairman Rep. Chris Collins, (R-NY) was aired. Fox Business reports that the study found 20% of cyber-attacks hit businesses with fewer than 250 employees, and 60% of those businesses will close within six months after the attack.
Cyprus to vote on revised bailout plan. Lawmakers in Cyprus will vote today on a revised bailout plan that would restructure its second-largest lender and enforce unprecedented restrictions on financial transactions, the WSJ reports. The proposals, if they take effect, would allow authorities to restrict noncash transactions, curtail check cashing, limit withdrawals and even convert checking accounts into fixed-term deposits when banks reopen – they've been closed since March 16. If parliament can't pass the measures, the country could be forced to leave the euro zone—opening a Pandora's box that could threaten Spain and Italy.
We're not Cyprus number-two, Latvia says. A regulator from the Baltic nation provided a statement to Reuters to say: "There is no basis to expectations that a large flow of money from unknown sources will come in the next few days into the Latvian financial sector." That followed speculation, including in the WSJ that funds flowing out of Cyprus might end up in Latvia, among other places.
China commits on North Korea sanctions. David Cohen, U.S. undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said after a meeting with Chinese officials that he thinks China feels threatened by North Korea's recent nuclear tests and has committed to making sure United Nations sanctions on the country are effective, Bloomberg reports.
Pressure grows to blacklist Hezbollah. The conviction by a Cypriot court of member of Hezbollah on charges he plotted terror attacks against Jews on the Mediterranean island could raise pressure on the European Union to blacklist the Lebanon-based group, the WSJ reports. The EU has been reluctant to label Hezbollah a terrorist organization. Some member states argue such a move could destabilize Lebanon, where Hezbollah is part of the government. An EU spokesman declined to comment after the Cyprus verdict.
Lululemon CFO expects recall impact in second quarter. Lululemon could lose up to $40 million in profit this fiscal year because of its decision to pull defective workout pants from its shelves, Reuters reports. Lost revenue, a write-down of the recalled goods and other costs will reduce earnings by 11 cents to 12 cents a share in the current quarter and between 25 cents and 27 cents a share for the full year. CFO John Currie said the company would probably feel much of the recall's impact in the second quarter, from May to July, when sales in established stores will show little change or grow by a percentage in the "very low single digits." That's a sharp slowdown from a year earlier, when same-store sales rose 15%.
Lenders warned on risk. The Federal Reserve and other banking regulators said that the controls and quality checks applied by lenders when extending leveraged loans have deteriorated, the WSJ reports. They also questioned whether some banks are doing enough to accurately gauge the risks of these practices.

News 12 at 6 O'clock / Friday, Feb. 7, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- If these walls could talk, they'd tell you stories owners Bon and Yong Won would like to forget.
There was a robbery in 2002, then another one in 2008. That night, Yong Won was shot.
Now this, a gaping hole on the side of Goshen Grocery.
"They don't deserve for someone to just come and tear up their store," said Nancy Missy, who lives in the Goshen neighborhood.
It's been a staple in the Goshen community for more than 20 years. Nancy Missy and Sharon Pfaff go by it every morning.
"Sharon and I were out walking and a car stopped, and they told us that they broke in," he said.
They had to see it for themselves and so did investigators who saw it all on tape.
Three surveillance cameras caught the truck backing into Goshen Grocery three times. That's when they broke through, the alarms sounded next.
"Looks like he might've been trying to go for the ATM machine," said Shane McDaniel with the Richmond County Sheriffs Office.
But as the truck broke through, it scattered debris all over the store.
"The majority of it fell on the ATM machine, so it was tampered with but it wasn't stolen," he said.
Investigators are still piecing together who the robbers are.
"Obviously, we're looking at a pattern here," said McDaniel.
Deputies said this incident is related to recent smash-and-grab robberies in Richmond county.
But they want that pattern to stop here. It's too late for this business.
"Just hard working people, and just trying to make a living," said Missy.
But these neighbors know there's always a silver lining.
"We just talked to them a few minutes and told them how sorry we were that that happened and we were thankful that no one got hurt," she said.
Original report
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The driver of a pickup truck tried to plow through the Goshen Grocery Store early Friday morning, Richmond County deputies said.
Surveillance video shows a pickup truck trying to break through the store's wall three times, deputies said.
Surveillance shows the pickup truck drive away immediately after breaking through the wall. The suspects fled the scene before taking anything because a loud alarm went off.
Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, a gold 1993 Ford F350 was stolen from Jeanne Road, the Sheriff's office said in a release. On Friday, the stolen truck was used to try to break into the Goshen Grocery Store, however the ATM was knocked over and covered by debris.
Deputies said this incident is related to recent smash-and-grab robberies in Richmond county.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office is asking the public to notify the Sheriff's Office at 706-821-1080 or the Criminal Investigative Division at 706-821-1020 with any information.
