lead to widespread or catastrophic failures. In addition the high level of interconnectedness of these systems means that the abuse, destruction, or interruption of any one of them quickly affects the others. As a result the whole society is vulnerable, with the welfare and even lives of significant portions of the population placed at risk.
Second, as technology advances, the means of mass destruction are falling into the hands of smaller and smaller entities. In the war against terrorism, the enemy may be living among us and is largely unknown, or at least unidentifiable. Today that enemy includes international terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda, operating from overseas bases and supported or protected—and possibly assisted—by a variety of states and independent sources.1 It also includes home-grown fanatics.
These two trends affect all societies and their increasing vulnerability to terrorism, but the United States has a particular need for protection because its military preeminence makes terrorism virtually the only method by which those who wish to take violent action against it can do so. Moreover, U.S. vulnerability is exacerbated by some of the features that its people most treasure—freedom, personal initiative, openness, mobility—and that technology has helped make possible.
Terrorism—commonly defined as attack on the innocent, outside the context of organized armed conflict, with the objective of spreading fear and intimidation—has always been a danger to society. But what is new and especially troubling about the above two trends is their potential to combine, giving rise to the fearsome risk that the welfare of the many may be held hostage by the few—what this report calls "catastrophic terrorism."
While science and technology can be used to combat all forms of terrorism, this report focuses on catastrophic terrorism. It is not possible to quantify catastrophic terrorism or to precisely distinguish it from "ordinary" terrorism;2 this
Gerald Holton, in a presentation in 1976, identified an emerging combination threat from what he called type III terrorism: nonstate groups of terrorists operating transnationally (type I terrorists) with the financial, logistic, and technical help of failed states (type II terrorists). For this reason it must not be assumed that terrorists will be unable to avail themselves of technologies that require a government level of investment for their development and acquisition ("Reflections on Modern Terrorism," in Edge, available online at <http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/holton/holton_print.html>, and based on a presentation at the Conference on Terrorism (1976) and a publication in Terrorism: An International Journal in 1978.)
Terrorism in general is difficult to define. According to the State Department's annual publication Patterns of Global Terrorism, "No one definition of terrorism has gained universal acceptance." The State Department uses the definition contained in Title 22 of the United States Code, Section 2656f(d): "The term terrorism means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against

LANSING, Michigan — A Michigan Supreme Court justice joins other judges in approving adoptions as part the state's 12th annual adoption day.
Justice Mary Beth Kelly finalizes some adoptions Tuesday at the Supreme Court in Lansing, along with judges from Ionia, Ingham and Oakland counties.
About 2,160 kids in foster care were adopted in fiscal year 2014 and another 2,500 children are hoping to be adopted.
About 30 communities have scheduled adoption day events. Organizers say the goal is to inspire more families to consider adoption and raise awareness of children in foster care.
The morning ceremony includes the presentation of a lifetime achievement award to Jeffrey Albaugh. The Calhoun County Friend of the Court's office has collected more than $600 million in child support during his 34-year tenure.

Grammy-nominated composer-pianist Vijay Iyer (pronounced "VID-jay EYE-yer") was described by Pitchfork as "one of the most interesting and vital young pianists in jazz today," by the Los Angeles Weekly as "a boundless and deeply important young star," and by Minnesota Public Radio as "an American treasure." His most recent honors include a 2013 MacArthur fellowship, a 2012 Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, an unprecedented "quintuple crown" in the 2012 Down Beat International Critics Poll (winning Jazz Artist of the Year, Pianist of the Year, Jazz Album of the Year, Jazz Group of the Year, and Rising Star Composer categories), a "quadruple crown" in the JazzTimes extended critics poll (winning Artist of the Year, Acoustic/Mainstream Group of the Year, Pianist of the Year, and Album of the Year), the Pianist of the Year Awards for both 2012 and 2013 from the Jazz Journalists Association, and the 2013 ECHO Award (the "German Grammy") for best international pianist.
March 2014 marks the release of Mutations, Iyer's eighteenth album and his debut for the prestigious ECM label: a recording for piano, string quartet and electronics, the first album to document his works for chamber ensembles. His previous release, Holding It Down: The Veterans' Dreams Project (2013), is his third collaboration with poet Mike Ladd, based on the dreams of veterans of color from America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was hailed as #1 Jazz Album of the Year by the Los Angeles Times and described in JazzTimes as "impassioned, haunting, [and] affecting."
Two tremendously acclaimed and influential albums, Accelerando (2012) and Historicity (2009), both feature the Vijay Iyer Trio (Iyer, piano; Marcus Gilmore, drums; Stephan Crump, bass), recently described by PopMatters as "the best band in jazz." Accelerando was voted #1 Jazz Album of the Year for 2012 in three separate critics polls surveying hundreds of critics worldwide, hosted by Downbeat, Jazz Times, and Rhapsody, respectively, and also was chosen as jazz album of the year by NPR, the Los Angeles Times, PopMatters, and Amazon.com. Historicity was a 2010 Grammy Nominee for Best Instrumental Jazz Album, and was named #1 Jazz Album of 2009 in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Detroit Metro Times, National Public Radio, PopMatters.com, the Village Voice Jazz Critics Poll, and the Downbeat International Critics Poll. The trio won the 2010 Echo Award for best international ensemble and the 2012 Downbeat Critics Poll for jazz group of the year.
Previously Iyer was voted the 2010 Musician of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association, and named one of 2011's "50 Most Influential Global Indians" by GQ India. His other honors include the Greenfield Prize, the Alpert Award in the Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, the India Abroad Publisher's Special Award for Excellence, and numerous composer commissions. Iyer's many collaborators include Steve Coleman, Wadada Leo Smith, Roscoe Mitchell, Butch Morris, George Lewis, Amina Claudine Myers, William Parker, Graham Haynes, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Rez Abbasi, Craig Taborn, Ambrose Akinmusire, Liberty Ellman, Steve Lehman, Matana Roberts, Tyshawn Sorey, Miya Masaoka, Pamela Z, John Zorn, Mari Kimura, Dead Prez, DJ Spooky, Himanshu Suri of Das Racist, High Priest of Antipop Consortium, Karsh Kale, Suphala, and Talvin Singh; filmmakers Haile Gerima, Prashant Bhargava, and Bill Morrison; choreographer Karole Armitage; and poets Mike Ladd, Amiri Baraka, Charles Simic, and Robert Pinsky. His compositions have been commissioned and performed by Bang on a Can All-Stars, The Silk Road Ensemble, Ethel, Brentano String Quartet, JACK Quartet, American Composers Orchestra, Hermès Ensemble, International Contemporary Ensemble, and Imani Winds.
A polymath whose career has spanned the sciences, the humanities and the arts, Iyer received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in the cognitive science of music from the University of California, Berkeley. He has published in Journal of Consciousness Studies, Wire, Music Perception, JazzTimes, Journal of the Society for American Music, Critical Studies in Improvisation, in the anthologies Arcana IV, Sound Unbound, Uptown Conversation, The Best Writing on Mathematics: 2010, and in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Critical Improvisation Studies. Iyer has taught at Manhattan School of Music, New York University, and the New School, and he is the Director of The Banff Centre's International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, an annual 3-week program in Alberta, Canada founded by Oscar Peterson. Iyer recently finished a multi-year residency with San Francisco Performances, performing and working with schools and community organizations. In 2014 he began a permanent appointment at Harvard University's Department of Music, as the Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts.

You dont have to fulfill any commissions or spend any of it on a production. You get guaranteed income for 18 months. Youve become an early career leader, and to justify this expenditure, all you have to do is become a smarter version of yourself.
That magic wand has tapped Quentin Talley. The founder and artistic director of On Q Productions, Mecklenburg Countys African-American theater, has won one of six One-on-One awards in America, paid for by the Andrew Mellon Foundation and run by Theatre Communications Group.
A Leadership U(niversity) program will pay him $75,000 over 18 months, starting in September. Up to $14,500 more is available for professional development or life needs, such as health care or medical expenses.
Even better, Talley will hook up with a veteran in his field: Lou Bellamy, founder and director of Penumbra Theatre Company in Saint Paul, Minn.
So Talley gets his bills paid and his mind elevated. On Q gets a higher profile nationally, on the brink of its fourth season: Kiss My Black Angst, a pair of one-acts by Amiri Baraka and Adrienne Kennedy, begins Sept. 14 in the Arts Factory at Johnson C. Smith University.
What does Charlotte get? The rejuvenation of this 32-year-old producer-director, who wants to shake up sleepy theatergoers: The new season is titled The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Itll Be Live!
Ive always felt Charlotte had Broadway-quality talent, he says. When you do good theater, people come out of the woodwork to be part of it.
The difference between Charlotte and other cities is that (we) dont seem to recognize talent thats already here. I hope this grant will help get the word out to individual and corporate funders that were serious about what were doing.
It couldnt have come at a more crucial time for Talley, who has often footed On Qs bills himself.
A couple of weeks before I learned I received the grant, I was strongly and I do mean strongly considering taking a step back from the art/theater world and finding a regular j-o-b. Ive received this as a sign to keep on rolling along.
Id do it for free, because I love it. But I have done it for free, and being a starving artist is for the birds. Free doesnt pay for clothes, shelter or food. It seems everyone values the art but didnt want to pay the artist. This grant makes sure the artist is taken care of who will, in turn take care of the art.
So who is this guy?
Talley grew up in Greenwood, S.C., (Imagine a triangle formed by Greenville, Columbia and Augusta; Greenwood is at the center.) Locals know Q, which everyone calls him, as a poet: He was on the Slam Charlotte team that won U.S. championships in 2007 and 2008.
He has acted for local companies and founded On Q in 2009, after producing Miles & Coltrane (a multimedia show about Miles Davis and John Coltrane) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland. America was in the middle of the worst recession in decades, and half a dozen theater groups of comparable size had died in Charlotte since 2000, but he wasnt fazed.
People began to notice, among them newly hired JCSU President Ron Carter.
He wants to develop the Beatties Ford Road corridor as an arts destination and opened the Arts Factory as a step in that direction. Then he wondered what relationship JCSU and On Q ought to have.
I enjoy every minute of my conversations with him, says Carter. Hes not that much older than our students, but hes very mature a shining example of an individual whos always learning and growing.
I want to do everything I can to make sure he and his company stay in Charlotte. We are working with him to find funds to upfit space in the Arts Factory for him to have an office, make use of our black-box theater and other facilities. Down the road, Carter hopes a communication arts building would offer On Q space for fuller theatrical productions.
JCSU invited Bellamy earlier this year to begin a partnership between Penumbra and its students, one which Bellamy hopes will lead to professional theatrical productions advocating for social justice and positive social change. Talley met the veteran director there and realized Bellamy could be a fine mentor.
How will the grant work?
Talley will have staff responsibilities at Penumbra, which Bellamy says is the largest African-American theater in the U.S. Hell participate in production and education meetings, teach in Penumbras Summer Institute where teens develop critical-thinking skills, writing and performing plays and will teach and recruit kids from Minnesota high schools.
Hell work up a version of Summer Institute for JCSU and Penumbra to do in Charlotte and assist Bellamy in directing shows at Penumbra, Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Hell bring Bellamy to Charlotte to conduct workshops with On Q, observe Talleys direction and engage the community.
But what does Bellamy get out of this, besides a mentors honorarium of $5,000?
We have increased our national footprint by offering programs in many U.S. cities: Washington, Tucson, Phoenix, Cleveland, etc. The number of African-American theaters in the U.S. is dwindling. Any effort we can make to strengthen any of these companies, we perceive as being worthwhile.
Predicting up the future
Theater Communications Group thinks long-term, too. A peer panel chose the six out of hundreds of applicants, thinking not so much of what they have done as what they can do.
Theyre in the sweet spot, longevity-wise and experience-wise, says Emilya Cachapero, TCGs director of artistic programs. This generation will take over theaters in times to come, so the applications needed to convey a level of readiness and maturity. We talked to them not only about the responsibility to develop professionally but how their work will affect their company.
This is the first step in a longer relationship between the recipients and TCG. Well be involved with them throughout the length of their careers.
The question is, what path will Talleys career take?
Carter talks about making him a clinical professor in our theater program, concentrating on political plays and anchoring the On Q-JCSU-Penumbra triangle. Cachapero wants to fold the winners into the TCG circle, where theyll become mentors themselves or serve on panels.
Talley says he has been asked if hell stay in Charlotte. The answer is yes, in matters small Soul Stage readings at Allure Restaurant on Wednesdays and large, such as his leadership of On Q.
Were in just about the right place: Going into the fourth season, our second as a nonprofit, with a base of about 100 folks who come to all the productions and are diverse in age and ethnicity, he says. The struggle has been worth it and the struggle continues but the hard work has paid off.

Several people have been arrested in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for "blasphemous" remarks against Allah and Prophet Mohammed after a video on atheism went viral on a social media site.
Eissa Al-Ghaith a member of the Shoura Council and a legal expert on "Islamic" jurisprudence has called for a re-examining of the way religion is represented.
"Atheism is not a phenomenon in the Gulf or in Arab countries, Atheists deny the existence of God altogether, while non-religious individuals may believe in God, but not practice everyday rituals."
And do you think that unto such as you. A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew. God gave a secret, and denied it me? Well, well—what matters it? Believe that too!
Al-Ghaith attributes the new wave to the reach of the media. And he is right! The media is breaking through the green curtain. Just as writing, education and the newspaper created waves of educated people who could communicate. People became just that little harder to step on. And governments across the planet are learning that.
From the USA at Ferguson, where what was a case of "Running While Black" suddenly turned into an enormous media firestorm. Saudi Arabia is learning that it's fighting a beast unlike others. Where anonymity and freedom of speech rules. And it's bringing the finest thinking of the Koran to fight something out of science fiction.
It's the problem of the hydra. Every head you cut from the Internet, 2 rise. The trick is how you use those heads. Saudi fears the Internet because freedom of speech is anathema to an entity that relies on believing the zenith of human endeavour was Mohammed. That the glittering spires of Dubai are nothing. Medicine? Nothing. The greatest invention and repository of knowledge is the Internet. And the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is like the Judeo-Christian god. The deadliest thing to them is knowledge. Information. Free Speech.
"People who have grown up with strict rules may eventually associate religion with oppression and deny its existence altogether, Other reasons include little faith in God and traditionalism, which emphasizes memorization over deep-rooted understanding, as well as frustration over the plight of Arabs and Muslims."
Amusing how a deep rooted understanding of Islam means that you have to execute minors on faulty evidence and create a police state where women don't get to drive.
Al-Ghaith's stance on this is to try and hide Islam from us. Which is amusing considering he thinks he can delete all the Korans from the Internet.
"As we try to attract more people to Islam, we are finding ourselves losing Muslims who have somehow been exposed to misconceptions,"
"Qur'anic verses revealed to infidels and hypocrites are taken out of context, resulting in dire intellectual clashes, We must spread the message of Islam through moderation and tolerance."
And by controlling the dialogue of the wrong sort of people reading the Koran.
And the only way to do this is to shut down websites that spread atheism according to Al-Ghaith.
"Authorities, however, must then intervene and shut these sites down when people disseminate inflammatory and inaccurate information across Twitter and other social networking sites."
I would like to see you try to stop Twitter and Facebook. Sure you can ban it. But there are ways around firewalls. And all that happens is create a challenge. There are people like Anonymous who would LOVE to take a crack at you.
And this is why net neutrality is important. It helps teach countries like Saudi Arabia a lesson. That there are people who would like to point out their ideals to the world so that people can know that behind the glittering spires created by oil are a group of power mad old men trying desperately to create a medieval paradise and stifling freedom of belief.
"That said, the first step to dealing with the issue is investigating and trying to understand the perspective of atheists,"
Oh that's easy! We just believe in one less god than you. But that means we think that religious rules are pretty much nonsensical.
Our world is so much bigger. I fear that you have lost perspective. Let me put it simply. The Koran is a book, it's not a very correct book. I find that a single particle of a bacteriophage is infinitely more charming and engaging than it. This tiny particle raises so many questions and gives so many answers to others. There are countless living things out there like this. Most of them amazing. Even something as mundane as a dog becomes amazing when you realise that all that boundless energy and love and dopeyness is powered by chemistry. We are intelligent chemistry reactions. Chemistry reactions that can eat apple pie. You think that's mundane? An apple pie can contain as much energy as a stick of dynamite. We burn through nearly 2 million calories a day (A biological calorie is a "kilo" calorie) to exist. And we do amazing things like music, art and fall in love.
You think that a Koran is impressive.
I think a kiss is impressive. Imagine two chemical reactions that meet and some intense and complex chemical reactions unique to each reaction occur that make these two chemical reactions want to live the rest of their life together until the reaction stops. And to show each other this commitment? A kiss. That's mad. That's magic though.
You can't understand us. Because your world and your god is just so small. It's like trying to understand the entire universe when you are still scared of the monster that lurks outside the light cast by your fire.
"We should focus on equipping our youth with knowledge and understanding rather than just forcing them to memorize facts because they would not do them any good when trying to impact others."
By ensuring they receive an education of straw men, Allah did its and Muslims are super special people? What Al-Ghaith clearly wants is a world where children receive a more complete brain washing. A world of applied theology. Where science and art is twisted to promote Islam (and Islam alone) to strengthen the bogey man who demands the execution of minors on faulty confessions gleaned through torment rather than forensics.
I am unaware of any readers in Saudi Arabia. But A Million Gods stands with those who face discrimination due to their lack of belief in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Soulcalibur IV is the fifth installment in the Soul series which originated about twelve years ago, and it's the fourth Soulcalibur game, if you couldn't tell by the title. The series itself is raved about for having one of the most balanced combat system in a fighting series ever.

Amazing top
It might just look like a top- but it's kind-of like everything you want in an active shirt. jog, hike, climb, be outside and potentially sweating- super quick dry, ultra lightweight. it kind- of doesn't even feel like it's a shirt at all because it's so light and comfortable. Peak thought of everything with this top- it manages moisture perfectly-while still providing warmth. the seams feel non-existent- but all the while it's feminine and flattering? I know it might seem expensive- but this top will last forever- (it washes great too)... it's worth every penny.

Why You Should Only Query 6-8 Agents at a Time
Chuck Sambuchino on Sep 26 2011 | Filed under: Business
This column excerpted from my book, the GUIDE TO LITERARY AGENTS (Writer's Digest Books), the biggest database anywhere if you're seeking a literary agent.
One of the most common questions I get at writers conferences is this: Can I query multiple literary agents at once? My answer is that not only yes you can, but you're encouraged to. After all, though an agent will usually reply quickly (bless you, e-mail), they may take three whole months to get back to you, only to send you a form rejection. You can't wait around for agents one by one like that.
So if you're contacting various agents at the same time ("simultaneous submissions"), how many agents should you query? Would it be wise to just mail out your query to all 50 agents who rep science fiction, trying to personalize your letter wherever possible? I wouldn't, if I were you. I would submit to 6-8 at a time, including those you've met at a writers conference or retreat.
(By the way, when you're ready to submit, check out these lists of numerous agent interviews: fantasy agents, science fiction agents, general fiction agents, horror agents, nonfiction agents, middle grade fiction agents, and young adult fiction agents.)
But why 6-8? Isn't that a strange arbitrary number?
I say 6-8 because I want you to protect yourself. My question to you is this: What if you submit your query to all 50 agents on your master list, but — heaven forbid — your query letter sucks? Every agent will turn you down and you'll have hit a brick wall at the beginning of your journey. Instead, submit to a limited number of agents and gauge a response. If you submit to 7 agents and get 7 rejections with no reps asking to see more work, then guess what? Your query sucks. So edit your query letter. Overhaul it. Give it to friends, beta readers, and/or a professional book editor for a look. Protect yourself.
Taking this approach one step further, let's say you send your polished query to 7 new literary agents, and get 4 responses asking for more work. Congratulations — your query letter is doing its job. But let's say that none of those 4 agents who see a partial ask to read your full manuscript. Guess what that means? Your first few chapters aren't up to snuff. Revise them. Overhaul them. Give the chapters to friends for a blunt critique.
The message is this: If you're not progressing as you hope, try to identify where you're going wrong so you can improve on it as quickly as possible. Protect yourself. Give yourself the best chance of success in finding a literary agent.

This is perfect timing -- I'm working on a draft right now that I hope to query by the beginning of the new year. And I so appreciate this sound advice to give myself the best shot at success. Thank you so much! (p.s. the Guide to Literary Agents is on my list at Amazon, can't wait!)
Limiting yourself to only half a dozen agents also allows you more time to research each agent, figure out why you want them to represent you, and present that in your query in order to personalize it towards them.
If you're sending out 50 queries at once, it's probably an ordeal just to put their last name at the top instead of 'Dear Agent'!
Great advice! Rejection is never easy. Thanks for breaking it down and giving advice on what we can do....eye on the prize!
[...] it's not only okay but recommended to query multiple agents at a time, I found the following excellent post from Chuck Sambuchino on Writer Unboxed. There must be something in the [...]
Moderation sounds like sound advice.
Thanks so much for the post. What great advice!
Just curious (and another reason not to query one-at-a-time). What's your take on the growing number of agents who say if they don't respond, take it as a rejection?
Great timing for me. I hope to be querying soon (biting nails), and this is a rule I'll definitely stick by. Thanks!
Interesting article! My only question -- you mention limiting your number of agents queried in case your query letter sucks, so you can tweak/adjust. Generally, I've seen authors query their "A" list of agents, agents they dream of, then move down to their "B" list, etc. The problem there seems to be that you'd be polishing your query for agents you're less thrilled about. What would you suggest there?
Thanks, again, for the post. Your guide to literary agents blog is awesome! :)
I'm not anywhere near the querying process, but I'm definitely keeping this in the back of my mind to pull forward when I need it! Thanks for the tip. :)
I finally have some clear, logical, and dependable advise on the subject. Thanks very much and I'll get busy and lengthen my list.
I have another question though. I hope it is acceptable to ask it here If I'm submitting a children's book and perhaps will write an adult novel later, would it be best to send the manuscript which is already written only to children's agents and worry about the adult project later? I've only submitted it to children's agents so far. But once I develop a relationship to one agent. I'm reluctant to go through the whole process again. Or should I go ahead and send it to people who accept both. I asked around at the NOHSCBWI conference this weekend and got the impression that it's highly subjective and editors probably don't care that much. What's your opinion?
@Terry It's unfortunate, because as writers, we like closure, even if it's a no. But if agents need to adopt this practice to be more efficient, then there's not much we can do about it.
@Karen You can certainly look for agents (and there are many) who handle both adult fiction and kids fiction. If you do snag an agent of any kind, just be upfront about what you want to write in the future. When I was upfront with my agent about how, along with adult nonfiction, I wanted to write both kids stuff and screenplays. She said "I don't rep either one of those, so when the time comes, I will give you some referrals as to other agents to contact."
@Cathy There is no good answer here. Neither situation is desirable, so you just have to do what you will and take your chances. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Seems like a good idea and common sense to me! If something doesn't work with X number of agents, it probably needs changing, and after, it's possible it'll work with the next X agents. I'll probably try 5 at a time, just because I really don't want to shoot myself in the foot.
Very interesting and useful! Thank you!
Your advice makes sense, a sorta scientific method for querying agents. In science class I learned to create a hypothesis and use the scientific method (experiments, data gathering etc.) to see if the hypothesis held up. Sometimes you find the experiments back up the hypothesis and sometimes you learn things from the experiments that make you go back and redefine the hypothesis. In this case the hypothesis would be the query and partial. Sending it to agents would be the experiment. A lot can be learned. Thank you.
This strategy is great, and it also reminds me of the query process Erin Morgenstern talked about in her WU interview. Sensical and useful--thanks for the advice!
I unwittingly followed exactly this advice about a month ago, sending my query letter to eight agents, and then sat back to enjoy the wait. So far I've recieved three rejections, and I'm still waiting on the others. Something that's occured to me since, however, is whether or not the traditional agent/publisher approach is still valid. This whole ordeal of trying to find a conventional agent and publisher seems less and less worth my time. Chapters is in Chapter 11, Barnes and Noble lives on thanks to digital sales, and Amazon saw the trend long before it hit and now they're selling more Kindle books than physical ones. My question is, in such a rapidly evolving market, does it still make sense for a writer to go knocking on agents' and publishers' doors?
I'd never considered the partial-only requests. While I'd figured on a faulty query leading to rejections, it's just as important to have a buffer in which to tinker with your manuscript in case it's rebuffed. Thanks!

So-called "pocket pistols" have been around for over 200 years. Beginning as small, single-shot flintlock handguns, these guns really exploded in popularity during the percussion era. The family is generally referred to as Derringers, after Henry Deringer, who is credited as the "father" of this ilk. Not to be left out of the mix, percussion revolvers evolved to include small, "snub nose" types, and when fixed ammunition made its appearance the numbers grew along with the term "pocket pistol."

Andrzej Krakowski pegs his water-treading labor-of-love indie to the always-cool but here too-blithe Ben Gazzara, playing a reclusive screen legend dodging a pushy agent. (Guatemalan location-shooting is the only other attraction.) Suited and ear-pieced on the colorful streets of Antigua, Josh Ross (David Moscow, kinda still "the kid from Big") incompetently hunts after Jack Palladin (Gazzara), repeatedly striking out with the locals, to their great mirth but not ours. Jack (whose list of movies reinforces the Palance echo of his name) is inexplicably hiding out as a cook at a nice restaurant, where he also dodges a small, aimless film crew that mostly sits around a table. Josh's other, convoluted agenda – Jack's ex-wife was also his (inattentive, famous) mother – leads to some anticlimactic chats about the overgrown youngster's feelings of resentment. Requiring cuts, some sense of direction, and dialogue that doesn't either declare or dither, the film looks like it was fun to make.

Mike Hennessy is taking time off from his job as managing director of capital markets at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC for a high-speed jaunt through the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
Hennessy, 45, is scheduled to steer his 40-foot racing yacht, "Dragon," out of Charleston Harbor in South Carolina at 6 p.m. local time today in a race against 14 other Class 40 sailboats to New York in the first leg of the Atlantic Cup. The regatta ends in Newport, Rhode Island, on May 27.
In the 640-mile (1,030 kilometer), 80-hour leg to Manhattan, Hennessy and his crew, yacht designer Merfyn Owen, must navigate the waters of the Graveyard off North Carolina's Cape Hatteras, where severe weather and shoals have combined to sink hundreds of ships since the 1500s. Winning the race, in which he placed second last year, also requires a good finish in a shorthanded leg up the coast and a crewed inshore regatta off Newport.
"Sailing offers a lot of really great challenges," Hennessy, who works for Morgan Stanley (MS:US) in Purchase, New York, said in a telephone interview. "It requires you to have a certain ability to manage information flow. You're dealing with a tremendous amount of data from the wind, the environment, navigational choices. It requires a great deal of self-reliance. And it requires a wide knowledge base to do it safely."
This year's Atlantic Cup includes the largest fleet ever assembled in the U.S. for the Class 40, a boat designed in France in 2005 to make solo and shorthanded ocean racing accessible to amateur sailors, says Owen, who designed Dragon at his U.K.-based Owen Clarke Design LLC.
High Speed
Class 40s retail for about $260,000, with top speeds of about 20 miles an hour (32 kph).
The other teams include France's Halvard Mabire, whose resume includes five around-the-world and 32 transatlantic races, and the U.K.'s Peter Harding, who won the Fastnet Race in 2007 and the Class 40 championship in 2008.
Hennessy and Owen said they like their chances. They won the double-handed division of the Newport-Bermuda race in 2010, and Owen said that sailing together has helped both.
"It's a good way of transferring knowledge, and I get feedback coming the other way," Owen said in a telephone interview from Charleston. "The whole class was designed for non-pro sailors. They're exciting, but not impossible to handle."
'Push Myself'
Hennessy grew up on the water in California, Rhode Island and Connecticut. He rowed in college and enjoyed meandering from harbor to harbor along the New England coast in a 35-foot yacht. One summer, he said, he tried the 190-mile Around Long Island Regatta and "decided to start pushing myself a bit harder." He got into racing shorthanded by default.
"I started out in fully crewed races, then pretty rapidly figured out that it's a lot easier to get ready to race if you don't have to find a crew," Hennessy said.
He sailed alone to Bermuda to see if he liked it, then raced single- and double-handed for a few years. By 2006, he'd reached the potential of his racer-cruiser hybrid boat, decided to commit to distance racing and commissioned the boat from Owen.
Hennessy spent 2008 sailing that around his home port of Mystic, Connecticut. By 2009, he was doing local regattas, then the Newport-Bermuda race. In 2011, he finished second in both the Transatlantic Race and the Atlantic Cup.
"I started out very, very carefully," he said. "It was a very new experience for me. It was definitely a steep learning curve, but also a lot of fun."
Grown to Love
He's grown to love what initially terrified him about the boat -- its envelope's-edge combination of performance, power and speed.
Hennessy spent weeks prepping the boat in Charleston, laying in supplies and studying the route. From Charleston, he and Owen will round North Carolina's Outer Banks, pass Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and head up the Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey coasts.
"We've got to decide where to enter the Gulf Stream and how close to cut it to Cape Hatteras," Hennessy said, referring to the warm Atlantic Ocean current that runs up the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada. "If the weather system is going northwest, the seas get really heavy there."
Owen said he expects a tactical race with shifting wind patterns, before a sprint from New York to Newport. The inshore races in Newport will be key, he said. For those, Hennessy has Chris Museler, who won nine U.S. Sailing championship medals from 1998 to 2009, prepping the crew.
For now, the two men have to get to New York, taking turns at the helm, handling the large square-top mainsail and even sleeping and eating. The sprint from just off Ellis Island in New York Harbor to Fort Adams in Newport begins May 19.
"It's some beautiful sailing and also insanely challenging," Hennessy said. "But you always talk about your bucket list, and it's pretty cool to do it."

Kanye West may have landed on the cover of Vogue with fiancée Kim Kardashian, but he isn't the only rapper appearing on magazine covers these days. New York Magazine has revealed that Kanye's partner in crime, Jay Z, is among the faces gracing its latest cover.
The picture is actually a throwback from 1997. The rapper is being celebrated for being part of the magazine's "Encyclopedia of New York Pop Music."
The accompanying article is penned by Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin, who writes about working with Jay on his track "99 Problems." He reveals that the idea to base the song's hook on Ice-T's "99 Problems" came from comedian Chris Rock. He also says that Jay tapped him because he was planning to retire after "The Black Album" and "wanted one song from each of his favorite producers."

Planning board requests sign help
Date: May 21, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board Chairwoman B.J. Webb addressed the Longboat Key Town Commission at its Thursday, May 21 regular workshop in an attempt for sign direction and help with removing what is perceived as excessive signage on Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Webb asked the commission if it was interested in using stimulus-package money to develop a comprehensive sign system that would allow for uniform signs at major locations, such as shopping centers.
Unfortunately, Town Manager Bruce St. Denis explained that stimulus money could not be used to pay for signs in the Gulf of Mexico Drive right of way, other than the welcome signs at either end of the island.
St. Denis also said the Florida Department of Transportation is moving so quickly with stimulus-fund projects, that town staff must submit a plan for new welcome signs and landscaping by next Wednesday.
The Town Commission and the town manager did agree, however, to see if the department has any flexibility in removing some of the 405 signs that are located on both sides of the Gulf of Mexico Drive right of way.

There are 22 characters to play with, and each has special moves that can be hard to fathom in Japanese. More important is the range of modes - single player, AI battles, the Story Mode and the all-important Wi-Fi, either matching you to random players around the world, or using friend codes. There's also up to eight-player single-cart mode, which is amazing.
Navigating the menus is a pain, and finding all the different modes is tricky, though it's jam-packed with different ways to play. Although it's ultimately immensely involving to master, we'd still rather play Bust-a-Move or Tetris.
