If you are ever involved in an accident, there certain things you should absolutely do, and some things you absolutely not do. These are extremely important, not just for your well-being, but also to help you should a claim need to be filed. This applies regardless of the type of accident.
THE DOs
DO seek medical attention immediately if you need it. This is the most important.
DO call the police. It is critical to get a police report.
DO get the names, addresses, phone numbers, insurance information, and license plate numbers of every party involved in the accident.
DO get the name and address of the animal's owner and any license information if you were injured by an animal bite or attack. Also, make sure to note the breed of dog and take pictures of the dog if possible.
DO get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of every witness to the accident.
DO contact your own insurance. That could include your auto insurance, your medical insurance, or even, in some situations, your homeowner's insurance.
DO take photographs of the accident. If it is an auto accident, take pictures of the vehicles and any visible injuries. If it is a slip and fall, take pictures of whatever caused the slip. If it is a dog bite, take pictures of the dog, the injuries, and the area.
DO take detailed notes of what happened. Make sure you include every thought, feeling, and impression you have. Include what you saw, heard, felt, smelled, and experienced. Make notes of what happened before, during and after the accident.
DO contact Modjarrad & Abusaad.
THE DON'Ts
DON'T move your vehicle after an automobile accident unless necessary for safety or required by law. Many cities now require that move your vehicle from a roadway if possible.
DON'T leave the scene of an accident until the police tell you it is okay to do so.
DON'T dispose of anything that might be evidence. This would include car parts, blood-stained clothes, or anything else that might help an investigator. It is better to collect more than you need and not use it than not have something that would help your claim.
DON'T engage in discussions as to fault with anyone, and make sure you don't apologize for anything-it can be considered evidence that you were legally at fault.
DON'T agree to settlement terms without contacting your attorney.
If you follow this simple list of Dos and Don'ts, you will be better able to help us, your attorneys, when you are ready to file your claim.
And, as always, if in doubt, call us.

Consumer electronics vendor Mad Catz has launched a new stereo gaming headset for the Xbox 360, called the Trigger.
Distributed by Enta in the UK, the headset includes precision balanced 40mm neodymium drivers and an in- line audio controller allowing gamers to separately adjust volume and in-game chat levels, and includes all cables necessary to connect to any Xbox 360.
The microphone can be bent into a position that's optimal for picking up the user's voice. The design also allows the mic to fold up and out of the way when not in use.
The set has a padded, adjustable headrail which extends an extra 1.25 inches on either side to accommodate a wide range of head sizes and features soft, pliable earcups which swivel to provide a comfortable around-the-neck resting position.
A dial on the in-line audio controller can cancel in-game chatter from other players, while game volume can be adjusted separately.
Darren Richardson, the president and chief executive officer of Mad Catz Interactive stated: "The Trigger is the second of our co-branded headsets to be released for the Xbox 360 and we are excited to bring high quality professional gaming audio to a mass market consumer in time for the holiday season."

Last Friday, Rachel Maddow pointed out the hypocrisy of John McCains outrage over Joe Lieberman being denied a few extra moments by Senator Franken during the debate on health reform legislation. McCain claimed the he had never, in all his years in the Senate, witnessed a member be denied extra time like was done by Senator Franken. Seems in 2002, McCain did exactly the same thing.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little expressed confidence Thursday that the NFL lockout won't impact the season, claiming "someone has to be an absolute idiot to walk away" from $9 billion in annual revenue, but he's concerned about whether a new labor agreement will provide enough financial support for retired players with health issues.
The matter is dear to Little, 68, a close friend of Hall of Famer John Mackey, who suffers from acute dementia and lives in a nursing home in the Baltimore area. Little -- introduced Thursday at his alma mater as Syracuse's new special assistant to the athletic director -- said the first person he met on campus nearly 50 years ago was Mackey, then a star tight end at Syracuse.
The charismatic Little lowered his voice to a whisper as he talked about Mackey. He keeps in touch with Mackey's wife, Sylvia, always checking on his old friend.
"John is in pretty bad shape," Little said. "I watched John here when they retired his jersey [in 2007]. He wasn't really himself. He lost a tooth. I asked Sylvia, 'What happened?' She said he's pulling his own teeth out. That's sad. For such a great player to end up in a nursing home, that's sad."
After initially refusing to pay for Mackey's health care, the league and players' association created the "88 Plan," named after Mackey's number. It provides $88,000 per year for assisted-living care.
Little hopes a new collective bargaining agreement will include more assistance for the ailing, older players.
"The thing I'm concerned about is the players that have given up so much for the game, that they're taken care of," said the former Denver Broncos star, who considers himself relatively healthy. "The life expectancy for an NFL player is 51 to 53 years. The quality of life, after that, isn't great if you make it beyond that.
"There should be something in the new package for those who made tremendous sacrifices, something that says, 'We care about you, and we're going to make sure the quality of life you have will be the best it can be.' They owe it to those guys."
As for the work stoppage, Little doesn't see it continuing into the regular season. Quoting commissioner Roger Goodell, he said the conflict must be decided at the bargaining table, not in the courts.
"I'm not concerned," said Little, who played from 1967 to 1975. "There has been a lot of fanfare about this lockout. There will be a season. There will be football. You've got $9 billion hanging in the balance. Someone has to be an absolute idiot to walk away from that. They will figure this out."
The outspoken Little supported the league's crackdown on illegal blows to the head, but he said he'd take the penalties a step further than fines and suspension.
"If it were me, and I were the commissioner, not only would they be fined to the point where they'd be on the corner with a can collecting [money], but they'd be out of the league," he said. "I wouldn't stand for it. That's why I'm not commissioner."

What's Really Making You Fat?
I recently heard that chemicals in the environment may be partly to blame for the obesity epidemic. Is there anything to this?
Answer (Published 3/4/2008)
Perhaps. Here's the story: common chemicals function as endocrine disruptors. These substances can act like natural hormones and impact the production of fat cells in the body, as well as influencing the amount of fat that is stored. Some scientists contend that the presence of these chemicals has had an impact on the rise in obesity during the past 20 years. They maintain that changes in eating and exercise patterns over two decades can't fully account for the obesity epidemic. They also note that genetic factors, which definitely contribute to obesity, don't change in such short periods of time.

In an article published on Jan. 15, 2008, the New York Times quoted an official with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences as saying that preliminary scientific data does seem to be pointing toward chemicals in our environment as possible culprits. They may change the ways we (and laboratory animals) respond to diet and exercise. One researcher has coined a new word for the chemicals at issue: "obesogens."
I've previously addressed other concerns about the risks of exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), one of the chemicals now being investigated for its effect on weight gain. A study published in the January, 2006, issue of Environmental Health Perspectives found that low-level exposure to BPA resulted in insulin resistance in mice. With insulin resistance, cells lose their sensitivity to that hormone, which normally allows blood sugar to enter cells for use as fuel. This prompts the pancreas to overcompensate and crank out even more insulin, which can increase inflammation and promote fat storage, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease. It can also lead to adult onset (type 2) diabetes, which is now reaching epidemic levels in the United States.
Researchers from Spain and Mexico have concluded that exposure to BPA increases the risks of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This exposure may be especially dangerous for those people who have a genetic predisposition to developing metabolic syndrome. Lab animals fed BPA become more obese as adults than animals whose diets don't include the chemical.
Another chemical being studied is tributyltin, used as an antifungal agent in agriculture and in marine paints. Lab animals exposed to it became fatter than mice that weren't exposed, the Times reported.
Prenatal exposure appears to be key to the effects of these chemicals, since early development is when the body's physiological responses are programmed. Scientists quoted in the Times article said that this physiological programming is hard to change but is possible with "extreme diet and exercise."
Until we know more, I recommend avoiding plastics containing BPA. Instead, look for those made with polypropylene (#5 PP), high-density polyethylene (#2 HDPE), and low-density polyethylene (#4 LDPE). Campers - check your plastic bottles and put away the Lexan types (polycarbonate) in favor of ones made of safer materials. Better still, use glass or stainless steel.

Sunbaked is a great MLBB lip gloss that gives one sexy pout. I am MAC NW20 with almost black hair, brown eyes. It is a very pretty rosey brown...my lips but better! It takes my natural lip color and just ups the amp a bit. It reminds me of a brighter lip gloss version of MAC's Modesty. It has a similar feel to MAC's Delight cremesheen lipgloss in color, but Sunbaked has more ooomph & is a bit richer. Lovely, lovely shade. If I had not had a coupon to use, I may never have picked it up. I am so glad I had that coupon.

Perfect mini studio for what I needed, tremendous value, equalled a $300 kit,
This review is from: Polaroid Photo Studio Light Tent Kit, Includes 1 Tent, 2 Lights, 1 Tripod Stand, 1 Carrying Case, 4 Backdrops (Black, Blue, White, Red) (Electronics)
As a chef, I do many photos of food and food products, all of which look better on an all-white background and in bright light. At my former facility, we had a mini kit like this and when I wanted to get one for my personal use, I found out it cost $300 and so I bypassed the idea.
Now that my husband is building me an art studio at a new residence, I have further use for photographic gadgets to play with and I began looking at both large and small backdrop kits. A small one for creative shots where I want no background or when I want to morph an object into another background creatively in Photoshop, or when I want to do a food or jar photo with an all white background, and then a large one for when I want to do portraits or full body artistic shots for large framed works.
This is not just for those with a Polaroid camera; the type of camera you use with it won't matter.
I got this one to decide whether I wanted to spend money on the larger one and see how the quality of this one is. It's fantastic and perfectly equal to the $300 kit I'd used in the past.
Better yet, some of the mini photo studio kits don't come with mini lights, just the backdrop, but this lights up (evenly) your subject piece with mini lights as well within the kit.
It also has a mini tripod for your camera stabilization.
There are 3 diffuser screens and 4 backdrop colors that work great and a very nice bag that it all fits inside enabling you to carry this wherever you like. The bag has a velcro enclosure and is pro quality.
For those who sell lots of items on ebay this would pay for itself after a few uses of making your product look better, but for those who also just want to get creative taking photos for art, it allows you to do so in the easiest way and with far less money than you'd expect to pay.
It goes up and goes down in seconds and stores away flat in any cabinet.
I've played with it quite a bit and it works as described and you can create some fun artsy shots otherwise not possible as an artist
The camera stand has skid reduction pads on the bottom and is fully adjustable from 10" min to 17" max
The light stands are 2 20 watt lights aimed through 2 diffuser screens to soften/eliminate shadows
A hook and loop system attaches the backdrop colors to the backdrop stand so you can change them out as needed Each backdrop cloth is in a resealable envelope.

The Murky Debate Over Resettling Syrians In The U.S. By Tom Bullock • Nov 17, 2015 Tom Bullock / WFAE Listen Listening... / 6:08 Some will see it as a prudent move, others guilt by association. On Monday, Governor Pat McCrory announced he has asked the federal government to cease resettling Syrian refugees in North Carolina. He was one of at least 23 governors, including Nikki Haley of South Carolina, to do so. But are refugees really a threat? For many there are two moments that define how they feel about Syrian refugees. They both deal with death. After Long Journey, What Refugees Find Upon Arrival By Briana Duggan • Aug 2, 2013 Briana Duggan There's a lot of debate surrounding immigration, but there is one kind of immigration that receives bipartisan support– that of refugees. More than 2,000 refugees resettled in North Carolina last year. We often hear about what refugees have to leave behind – war and persecution – but what is waiting for refugees when they get here?

ADACH publishes monographic book on Umm an-Nar
'Archaeology of Umm an-Nar Island 1959-2009' discusses sites dating back to third millennium BC.
Middle East Online
By Dr Walid Yasin Al Tikriti
ABU DHABI – The Historic Environment Department of the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage has published a monographic book that summaries and discusses the current state of the sites on the Umm an-Nar Island, which must have lived at least three centuries (2600-2300 BC).
The book entitled "Archaeology of Umm an-Nar Island 1959-2009" is written by Dr Walid Yasin Al Tikriti, head of the archaeology at ADACH.
The Umm an-Nar culture, as indicated from inland 3rd millennium BC, covers no more than seven centuries (2700-2000 BC). The book gives a comprehensive overview of this small island located on the southeast of the much larger island Abu Dhabi and it is one of the 200 islands that dominates the coast of Abu Dhabi.
With figures and sketches, the book follows the history of investigations on the site, as the first archaeological excavations in Abu Dhabi began at Umm an-Nar in 1959, twelve years before the foundation of the United Arab Emirates. Seven tombs out of fifty and three areas at the ruins of the ancient settlement were examined by the Danish Archaeological Expedition. During their first visit they identified a few exposed shaped stones fitted together at some of the stone mounds. The following year (February 1959) the first excavations started at one of the mounds on the plateau, now called Tomb I. Two more seasons (1960 and 1961) were carried out digging more tombs, while the last three seasons (1962/1963, 1964 and 1965) were allocated to examine the settlement.
The Danish excavations on Umm an-Nar halted in 1965 but were resumed in 1975 by an archaeological team from Iraq. During the Iraqi excavations which lasted one season, five tombs were excavated and a small section of the village was examined. To meet the requirements of the writer's Ph.D thesis and to answer some of the pending questions, the author carried out limited excavations at the settlement, uncovering a number of rooms in the space between the Danish and Iraqi excavations. And between 1970 and 1972 an Iraqi restoration team headed by Shah Al Siwani, former member of the Antiquities Director in Baghdad, restored and /or reconstructed the Danish excavated tombs.
The United Arab Emirates and southeast Arabia in general remained archeologically speaking terra incognita until fifty years ago. Explorations in grater Arabia started in the nineteenth century when European travelers first became involved in the region. While archeological investigations in the Bahrain go back to the nineteenth century, and to the first half of the twentieth century in Eastern Arabia, Abu Dhabi remained unexplored until recent times. Indeed, nothing was known about the archaeology of Southeast Arabia which includes the United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman before the investigations of the Danish expedition which worked at Umm an-Nar in the late 1950s.
The Danish explorations were extended to cover the interior of Abu Dhabi in the early 1960's. These explorations which were followed by investigations by local teams, together with those carried out since 1973 by other foreign expeditions in the UAE and Oman, from the present framework for the archaeology of the region. These investigations have reveled archaeological remains of different periods, interrupted by inevitable gaps which result from the nature of the archaeological sites themselves. These Southeast Arabian sites are concentrated in the oases, coastal areas and in the wadis along the obvious trade routes.
The most ancient period represented so far in Abu Dhabi Emirate is the Middle Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) which has been recently identified at Jebel Barakah in the western region. The first diagnostic stone artifacts discovered there by the author in 2006 indicate that the site belongs to the early phase of that period (150000-20000 years ago). Nothing has been discovered so far from the long gap between that remote period and the Neolithic (New Stone Age) which stated around eight thousand years ago. By the end of the fourth millennium BC, a few centuries after the invention of first writing in Mesopotamis, the Bronze Age started in Abu Dhabi and the whole of Southeast Arabia. This age covers the whole of the third and most of the second millennium BC and divided into three main phases (Early, Middle and Late). The early phase is represented by hundreds of beehive stone tombs yielding pottery vessels of Mesopotamian origin. The middle phase comprises two cultures (Umm an-Nar and Wadi Suq Cultures)
The Wadi Suq Culture (2000-1600 BC) which inherited the sophisticated culture of Umm an-Nar witnessed a decline, while the poorly represented last phase of the Bronze Age (1600-1300 BC) has only been vaguely identified in a small number of settlements. This last phase of the Bronze Age was followed by a boom when the underground irrigation system (the falaj) was introduced during the Iron Age (1300-300 BC) by the local communities.
The book is available in English and is being sold in main UAE libraries and bookshops.

"Kapstein's work provides a highly accessible and comprehensive account of scholarship on the subject, ensuring that his book will feature prominently on reading lists for students at all levels, especially undergraduates." (Religious Studies Review, September 2010)"The Tibetans offers the best single overview of Tibetan cultural history currently available, and it is highly recommended reading for students and professional scholars alike. It is surely destined to be the standard work of its type well into the foreseeable future." (The Journal of Asian Studies, December 2009)
"Kapstein has produced a finely textured work that can correct prevailing misconceptions and introduce the reader to the amazing complexity of what he calls the "Tibetan civilizational sphere." The Tibetans helps us better understand the historical and cultural forces that have shaped Tibet's destiny." (Traditional Yoga Studies)
"It has been a long time since Tibet scholars have had a text so comprehensive, well informed, beautifully written and majestically sensitive. This book is a 'must read' for junior scholars of Tibet and for lay persons with a general interest in the region; even those already expert in the field will find here much that is both entertaining and edifying." (The China Journal)
"Recommended." (CHOICE)
"An excellent book and it adds greatly to our knowledge of this fascinating people … I recommend this book strongly." (Educational Review)
"An authoritative but accessible work of erudition, well-designed for the undergraduate market." (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)
"It is a book that all scholars of Tibet and Central Asia, regardless of disciplinary focus, should read and control." (Asian Ethnology)
"This accessible book makes the latest research on Tibetan history and culture widely available and can be recommended as a standard introduction to the field." (Atlas Serials)
—His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"Professor M. T. Kapstein's elegantly written The Tibetans describes the Tibetan area, its inhabitants and the richness of its religious and secular culture in a truly exquisite and highly intelligent manner. It is an impressive achievement. The Tibetans is in every respect a masterful survey in which the political and cultural history of the enormous area inhabited by the Tibetan people get their fair share. Every page of this volume is informed by the author's profound knowledge and understanding of the many facets of this unique culture. In my opinion, The Tibetans will surely displace the earlier, general volumes on Tibet by R.A. Stein and H.E. Richardson and D.L. Snellgrove, and thus quickly become a modern classic."
—Leonard W.J. van der Kuijp, Harvard University

Dr. Frank extensively and authoritatively documents his suggestion that Bush has Adult AD/HD. In fact, he does an astounding job linking untreated ADHD symptoms with Bush's lifelong patterns. In so doing, he demonstrates that, when ADHD is not recognized (in the child or the parent), fatal personality flaws might develop from what initially were minor or at least treatable symptoms.
For that reason alone, this book should be at the top of the bestseller list. Bob Woodward's book excellently records the facts of all that's transpired during this administration, but what's missing in his and all the other accounts is the WHY. The pundits always seem so flummoxed as to why Bush has done the things he's done - as if his actions have been deliberate and calculated, not unwitting but troubling neurobehaviors.
I read the first edition when it came out, so my memory is a bit foggy about that version. But I seem to recall that edition as being a more heavily swayed by the psychoanalytic side, which disappointed me. Moreover, psychoanalytic theory too often misses the genetic inheritance; that is, that the child has most likely inherited his or her brain "wiring" from one or both parents. For example, if the mother is narcissistic, did her behavior make the child narcissistic or did the child inherit the neurogenetic tendency to be narcissistic? After all, low empathy is a function of the brain; and narcissism is associated with low empathy. Could anyone witness Bush during Katrina (and many other examples) and not shudder at his obvious lack of empathy?Read more ›
That said, I found many of the author's examples of the President's behavior, just a bit too facile. Most of them could be explained equally as a result of his intense alcoholism or perhaps as a result of a brief but intense cocaine habit, neither of which were dwelled on at any length by the author. Thus the highlight of the book is not so much belief in the author's "psychoanalysis-at-a-distance," as it is in his comprehensive outline of, and use of Melanie Kline's paradigm for psychoanalysis.
As one who did read Dr. Henry Murray's psychoanalysis of Hitler, as well as Valmik Volkan's analyses of Richard Nixon (A Psychobiography of Nixon) and Anthony Storr's excellent Freudian analysis of Sir Winston Churchill, Franz Kafka and Sir Isaac Newton, I can say without a doubt that the tools of a serious psychoanalyst are prominently on display here. The book is worth five stars alone for demonstrating how Kline's psychoanalytic framework is to be put to good professional use.
If he had called his work "psychobiography," instead of "psychoanalysis," I would have felt better about the analysis, and perhaps would have given him a pass.
Giving the author his just due, the outlines for a sound psychoanalysis are certainly in place here, especially in regards to the inconsistent, if not poor parenting received by George Jr., from Barbara and George senior. But as he so carefully notes, that was a function of the pre-Freudian times that they became parents. And while Kline's analysis places a preponderance of weight on developments during the formative years, they are far from the full story.Read more ›

Over 50 per cent of smartphone sales in Europe, US and Australia are Android
Market analysis company Kantar Worldpanel ComTech has released its annual smartphone sales figures which show that Android now makes up more than 50 per cent of the market in many of the largest countries in Europe, Australia and the US.
In the UK, Android smartphone sales have risen by 8.5 per cent over a similar 12-week poll performed in July 2011. The latest figures show that 57.2 per cent of the British market is dominated by Android, 25.6 per cent is iOS (a rise of 5.4 per cent), and Windows Phone 7 handsets have also seen an increase, to 3.7 per cent (a rise of 2 per cent over the last year).
In the UK, RIM's BlackBerry OS has suffered the biggest fall, from 19.3 per cent of the market in 2011 to 10.6 per cent today. Symbian, vanilla Windows Mobile, Bada and other mobile phone operating systems have all almost vanished completely.
The rest of Europe - Spain, Germany, Italy and France - tells a similar story, although in each of those iOS has fallen in popularity. In Spain, Apple now owns only 3.2 per cent of the market, less even than Symbian, with Android rising to a whopping 84.1 per cent saturation.
Apple fares much better in its homeland, with the US market being the only one where Android smartphone sales have actually fallen (from 57 per cent to 50.2 per cent). In the same period, iPhone sales have risen by 8.7 per cent to 37.4 per cent. RIM is really suffering over there, however, with BlackBerry now accounting for only 3 per cent of the US market.
The figures in Australia paint a similar picture to mainland Europe in that iOS has dipped to 30.5 per cent (from 36.9 per cent last year), while Android has risen to 56.9 per cent, from 36.4 per cent.
Windows Phone 7 is also a relatively great success "down under", now accounting for 4.8 per cent of the market, a rise of 2.7 per cent.
Although there are many factors as to why Android has experienced significant growth in the past year (not least, its adoption on a record number of smartphones released), Kantar Worldpanel also believes that the format presents the best price/functionality offering for those upgrading from feature phones to smarter devices.
"Android handsets currently offer an easier platform to enable these consumers to upgrade, as many first time smartphone consumers state 'price of handset' and 'multimedia capabilities' as their main reason for choosing an Android device," says Dominic Sunnebo, the analysis firm's consumer insights director.

My First Trip Abroad
... high up in the Apennines Mountains. I went on the perfect sunny fall day. San Marino is noted as a medieval city and its three huge watch towers on the edge of the mountain. I was able to go through the main tower and got the most beautiful views. Oddly enough while we were there I noticed some faint medieval music ...
Day 51 - Republica San Marino City/State
Woke to a sunny morning in Ravenna. We shared the breakfast room with a couple from Sicily who were staying at the same B&B and chatting with the hotel proprietress. They did not speak any English but thanks to Google Translator we enjoyed a small conversation about our travels.
We departed Ravenna about 10:30 and headed South to check out a leather goods outlet store recommended by the hotel owner where we were staying. We found the address but the store ...

... this is what the driver thought I meant, so I stormed down the stairs muttering under my breath. When Lyndon joined me I said 'did you see what that rude man did to my bag?'

volume was huge in the first 30 mins -- dried up a lot since then. someone shorted big at open, or some fund had to sell -- margin, etc. too much volume, too quick -- nothing sustained, so probably an "isolated event." as long as market holds up today, look for it to close the opening gap.
Your suggestion about a one time event makes sense to me. However, this company has not been great at execution. Slippage with excuses has been the coin of the realm. Lets hope there are no major project slips as they have take or pay contracts for the natural gas supply do they not?
agree -- the execution has not been great. Just believe if there was something material (a bad project, etc.), the volume and downward pressure would have been a little more gradual and sustained. Almost looked like someone had to get out/looked a bit like a market order. Now stock languishing cause no on knows what's up and sitting on hands, afraid to buy.

The cop pulled over the Chevy and approached the 24-year-old driver, according to an Atlanta Police incident report filed that day, July 30, 2002. As the woman handed him the papers for the rental car, marijuana shake tumbled out. The officer turned to the 18-year-old passenger, Falicia Blakely, to ask if she knew of any drugs in the car. She said yes, according to the report. She had Ecstasy in her purse.
But the more disturbing of the cop's discoveries, which also included crack rock and powder cocaine folded into dollar bills, was this: "Upon first glance inside the pocketbook I noticed a pistol."
Blakely and the driver -- both of whom had clean criminal records, the cop's report states -- were arrested. A woman in the back seat was let go. And so began an alleged series of crimes that would culminate in a dubious distinction for Blakely: She is one of the few women in Georgia against whom prosecutors have sought the death penalty. There is only one woman on Georgia's death row, and none has been executed here since the 1940s.
Two weeks after Blakely's arrest on I-75, three men were shot to death a day apart in two apartments. Police caught Blakely and a friend, Ameshia Ervin, driving one of the men's cars. The two racked up a laundry list of felonies, among them an armed robbery at Mrs. Winner's and the men's murders. Police say the women prostituted themselves, luring the men with sex and killing them for money.
The first two victims, Claudell Christmas, 35, and Raymond Goodwin, 34, were killed together Aug. 15.
Christmas was once considered one of Georgia's most wanted criminals. In 1998, he kidnapped a woman at gunpoint in Lilburn. Later that year, a police informant ratted on him, and an Atlanta cop found in his car more than 9 ounces of cocaine -- with a street value of more than $100,000. Atlanta police arrested Goodwin, a convicted felon, with carrying a concealed weapon in 2000.
On Aug. 17, 29-year-old Lemetrius Twitty was shot to death at his Clarkston apartment, police say. Twitty, a barber originally from Ohio, had a close brush with violent crime in 2000, when he saw two of his friends stabbed to death at a post-Super Bowl party. NFL star Ray Lewis and two other men were charged with their deaths. Twitty was a witness for the prosecution. Lewis and the other defendants walked free.
When prosecutors decided this month to push for the death penalty against Blakely, a punishment seldom sought against women, it may have marked a philosophic shift for the usually demure DeKalb District Attorney's Office. The office has been conservative in initiating capital cases. The DA didn't even seek the death penalty for the diabolical former sheriff Sidney Dorsey, who assassinated his reform-minded successor.
On the other hand, the decision in the Blakely case might indicate that the office considers her an aberration in the population of murderesses. No trial date has been set.
"Women tend not to commit the crimes that are normally the focus of the death penalty, such as crimes that involve horrific cruelty," says Mike Mears, local death penalty expert and head of the Multi-County Public Defenders Office. But what about women who do commit such crimes? It used to be that even the most unscrupulous femme fatale would be buffered from the ultimate punishment by her sex. That's becoming less and less common, says Mears.
"Years ago, there would be a kind of natural sympathy that women might expect to get from jurors," says Mears. "I think that society has been exposed to so much homicide through the fictional shows and the reality shows that the safety women had is probably not there anymore.
"I think women have tended to take their licks with the men these days. It's a byproduct of a gender-equal justice system."
By that logic, women like Aileen Wournos, who used sex to lure seven men to their deaths in Florida, can be considered a sort of pioneer for women's lib. Wournos, who said she would kill again if set free, was executed last year.
"There are some eerie similarities," forensic psychologist John Stuart Currie says of Wournos and Blakely.
Perhaps. The two women might have employed similar tactics to corner their victims -- that is, if Blakely is guilty of her alleged crimes. Wournos, however, neatly fit the definition of serial killer. She was a prostitute who killed methodically -- not for money, but for reasons likely stemming from a mental illness that steered her toward violence.
Blakely, a troubled teenager with an apparent hunger for hard drugs and a proclivity for bad decisions, might be different.
No one can say why she and Ervin did what they're alleged to have done. But drug use, immaturity or years of abuse may have played a role, experts say. "It would be very rare for a woman to deliberately plan to murder people without some unusual reason," says James Merikangas, director of neuropsychiatry at Georgetown University and an outspoken critic of the death penalty.
"This did not happen in a vacuum," says Ken Driggs, one of Blakely's public defenders.
Driggs says Blakely, who's from Jacksonville, Fla., came to Atlanta when she was 15. Armed with a fake ID, she began dancing in strip clubs. (The fake ID is the reason she's been miscast by the media as a 24-year-old; the Atlanta cop who found the gun in her purse also lists her age as 24 in his report.)
Driggs calls Blakely a "poster child" for all that can go wrong in a young woman's life. He says part of her defense will hinge on softening her one-dimensional image as a remorseless killer prostitute -- a depiction inaccurately projected by police and the prosecution.
"[DeKalb DA] J. Tom Morgan's office has been kind of a pioneer for protecting children from sexual predators," Driggs says. "And quite frankly, a lot of what has happened in our client's life are the things that Mr. Morgan has made it a priority to protect children from."

Central bankers, politicians, and some uninformed folks talk about how there is no inflation when in reality the contrary holds. If these individuals got off their butts and actually traveled around the world they would experience it themselves.
Inflation does exist-- I see it every day when I travel. From a 5% increase in French baguettes in Paris to a 7% increase in pad Thai in Bangkok. Much of these price increases are due to Mr. Bernanke and Mr. Draghi printing unlimited amounts of dollars and Euros out of thin air without gauging the impact of such deed in other countries. You see, when central banks in rich, developed countries conjure money out of thin air, third world countries such as Thailand must print money as well in order to maintain their exchange rates attractive. As a result of increasing the money supply to remain competitive, these developing countries suffer from a rise in costs of basic survival needs such as food (baguettes and pad Thai) and clothing, which forces more and more people into poverty. A truly unjust system, right?
Some countries such as Ethiopia have suffered from staggering inflation increases over 30 percent. However, most governments around the world are known to skew data to report favorable inflation numbers and make their citizens cling to an illusion they are better off than previous years.
click to enlarge
The charts above reflect how methodological shifts in government reporting have depressed reported inflation.
Some people pretend there is no inflation because Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) cut down Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4S price from $188 to $148, which is intellectually dishonest and delusional because the iPhone is not the economy nor is it a human survival necessity. Those making and believing in such bombastic claims have taken an inflation placebo pill, and thus, believe inflation will be non-existent in the next decade. This should be a major concern as the eurozone has started buying bonds, but especially if QE 3 comes to fruition shortly.
As the money supply increases, the dollar will continue to lose its value and those investors who are in denial about inflation will more likely lose their shirt. To put it into perspective, here in the United States $1.00 in 1971 had the same purchasing power as $5.24 did in 2008. In other words, $1.00 in 2008 purchased the same amount of goods that 18 cents bought in 1971. The diminishing purchasing power of the dollar throughout the years has been caused primarily because the government continues to increase the money supply. I am a strong believer that history will repeat itself in the next decade.
Last week, Draghi announced unlimited purchasing of bonds to lower the eurozone's borrowing costs. This week in the U.S. there is more concern that the Federal Reserve will continue printing money as the economic recovery weakens. The increase of money supply in Europe and in the U.S. will cause inflation to spread around the globe as other economies will inflate their currency to maintain a favorable exchange rate. Eventually, those higher prices will come back to us in the products we import from those countries.
Typically, to hedge against inflation, the markets tend to flock to gold and other metals, known as safe havens. Other positions that investors could take to hedge against inflation in their portfolios are real estate and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS.) As far as precious metals, gold has been a favorite of the market, having appreciated over 345% over the last decades. Although it is a non-incoming producing asset, it has maintained its value over the years. For example, in the days of Henry VII, an ounce of gold would buy you a nice suit. Today, an ounce of gold still buys you a nice suit. Then there is real estate, which is said to lose little value in periods of rising prices because it is a tangible asset that has an intrinsic value of its own.
Another option to hedge against inflation is through the Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, which were introduced in the late 1990's and are issued in terms of 5, 10, and 30 years. TIPS are a form of government-backed bond that pay a return that is pegged to the increases in CPI. For example, let's assume these bonds are currently paying 3%. On a $1,000 bond you would earn $30 in interest this year. If at the end of the year the CPI indicates inflation rose at a 5% rate, then the principal value of your $1,000 bond is hiked to $1,050. The following year your interest payments would rise to $31.5 to reflect a 3% return on your $1,050 principal value. Be aware that in this case, if you do not structure your bond investment into a tax-sheltered vehicle the interest and inflation adjustments will be taxable. In other words, you would pay taxes on the interest earned and the $50 inflation-adjusted boost even though you did not actually receive the $50 in cash.
Inflation is a hidden tax that diminishes your purchasing power if your annual salary and/or investments do not keep up with inflation at a minimum. If you are in the placebo group, there's no need to adjust your portfolio, but if you do not believe the iPhone is the economy it is imperative to analyze your portfolio and make the necessary adjustments to hedge against inflation. Inflation is real and it is on its way here.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hassayampa Inn Prescott
Can't take simple reservations
The hotel is ok but taking something as simple as a reservation and keeping it straight seems to beyond the staff's capacity to handle. I made two reservations one for one night and one for later that week for two nights. when I arrived for the first they had two rooms booked not one. I was assured that the second reservation was fine. later that week I had not received a confirm so I called and they had lost the second reservation. I would hate to see what they would do with a booking of anything larger then 1 room when they can't handle a simple room reservation. save yourself the aggravtion and stay somewhere else.
A piece of history..
I have stayed at this lovely lady a number of times. I travel quite a bit for business and get tired of the cookie cutter rooms that are provided on a nationwide scale.
This is a hotel that is designed for the traveler who enjoys something different, something a little out of the ordinary and who loves to be surrounded by the history of the place.
The food is wonderful, the staff very helpful and you can't find a better spot for a nightcap than in the bar right off the lobby.
I can stay anywhere I choose and I choose the Hassayampa each time.
Sometimes historic is just old...
The Hassayampa may be historic, but in my book it's just old. There is nothing charming about this place at all. The rooms are small, the bathrooms border no terrible. The staff appears essentially indifferent to guest needs and cannot seem to handle any requests beyond giving you the room key. The location is reasonable for Prescott but finding parking (across the street) appears to be an exercise in mystery that nobody at the hotel can advise on. Save your money and check into the Marriott (SpringHill Suites) down the road. At least you know you'll be in the 21st century!
OK, would stay there again.
Stayed there one night. Room was clean, but small. Bathroom was tiny, and had to scoot around the bed to get to it. Otherwise, was just OK-location is great; right downtown. Lobby is beautiful, and if you remember that this is an older hotel, you will enjoy yourself. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Pricey and just ok
It was pricey and not that great, I read the other reviews and thought of giving it a try.
The hotel is certainly well located, downtown. You can smoke there, but again, you can smoke ANYWHERE in Prescott. That's actually annoying, if you are a non-smoker.
Bed was good, room too small. I give it a "2" for the price x what you really get.
Nice and worth it
The elevator was cool and the breakfast was great.
At least I could smoke!
It's hard to find a smoking room these days, and I was glad to find one here. It was a little pricey, but at least we had a chance to relax and it was downtown. They allowed smoking in the bar and restaurant too, which was very nice. The rooms are a little small but the lobby is nice to sit in. I liked it.
Golden Age
Built during the great age of jazz, in a historic and very quaint mountain town; our recent stay at the Hassayampa Inn, was spectacular! Super frindly staff, cozy small period rooms with great cushy beds, ambience extradinaire! Restaurant superb! And live jazz in the lounge! Heck, it;s right off the square and the best Prescott has to offer! Will recommend to all!!!!
Very pleasant and friendly; great breakfast
wonderful old hotel... walking distance to historic downtown... Elegant for an old West Hotel - rooms are small but comfortable. Breakfast is included and its great food, with a charming dining room and an inclusive menu. Staff were all pleasant, the windows do open and I did have a thermostat in my room. All in all, a nice experience and an interesting small town.
Clerks bad attitude
We stayed at the Hassayampa Inn on our 22 Wedding Anniversary July 27, 2002. The room we stayed in was nice, but obviously under construction during the week. The Hotel is very nice, with the breakfast included in the price. A very nice sit down breakfast and the service was Excellent.
The only drawback to the whole experience was the heating and cooling of the room. It must be a central unit, because we had no controls in our room, and it got very warm during the night.
When checking out, we were asked how our stay was, and when I told them it was excellent except for the H/Cooling, the clerk told us "that's too bad". Not "I'm sorry", or "you should have called the desk", just"...too bad..". A nice experience turned into a disappointment with the attitude of the clerk on checkout.
