At the crossroads of high finance and international terrorism, a New York hedge-fund manager searches for the truth behind his father's murder.
The master of the financial thriller returns.
"Christopher Reich is a superstar."—Lee Child
Bobby Astor is a fearless New York hedge-fund gunslinger on the verge of making his biggest killing ever. But everything changes when his father, the venerable chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange, is murdered along with the head of the Federal Reserve in a brazen, inexplicable attack on the South Lawn of the White House. In the moments before his death, Astor's father sends Bobby a mystifying text message . . . a single word that Bobby soon realizes offers the only clue to the identity of his father's killer and the terrifying motivation behind the attack.
As Bobby unravels the mystery behind his father's death, he crosses paths with his ex-wife, no-nonsense Special Agent Alex Forza of the FBI, who is hot on the trail of a band of elite international terrorists intent on infiltrating New York City. All the while, Bobby must fight to hold together his increasingly risky business deal. At stake is not only the survival of his company and a colossal fortune . . . but also a sophisticated foreign conspiracy that threatens the entire financial system of the United States.
The Prince of Risk is Christopher Reich's most prescient, suspenseful, and entertaining thriller, a novel that anticipates the headlines of the near future and shows, once again, why The New York Times calls Reich "the John Grisham of Wall Street."
About the Author
Christopher Reich was born in Tokyo and grew up in Los Angeles. He was employed by the Bank of Switzerland where for many years he worked in the bank's private banking department in Geneva before joining the department of mergers and acquisitions in Zurich. In 1995, Reich decided to pursue writing full-time. Numbered Account, a New York Times bestseller, was his first novel. He lives in California with his wife and two daughters.

"The Prince of Risk will knock your socks off. Christopher Reich seamlessly weaves the high-stakes world of hedge funds and international terrorism into a frightening, big-time thriller that pulls you into his world and rockets ahead like a runaway train. Reich knows how to deliver, and does."

"At the moment I'm reading a great new financial thriller by Christopher Reich, The Prince of Risk. One thing Doug [Preston] and I love to do in our books is come up with scary but credible near-future scenarios--and crafting just such scenarios is a talent Reich has in spades."

Ugh! Vomit.
Dear sweet 8 pound baby Jesus!
old article is olllllld.
no no no no no no no
This is right out of the venture brothers.
that's such a mix of heartbreaking and terrifying. almost like a real-life version of some particularly morbid southern magical realism.
It's like they say, inside every fat person is a thin one trying to get out.
*Channeling Summer Roberts*
"Umm, eeewwww!!"
He must have lived in a very rural area...anyone can tell from looking at that tummy that it wasn't just fat.
They say in the article that the unborn twin fed on his host's blood supply and had very long fingernails, does that mean that it was alive? Was it a living organism that was brain dead, was there a brain at all? I have so many questions that the article doesn't answer.
Amazing! If you read the article the twin "parasite" lived for a long time inside his stomach by connecting to his blood supply. They removed the fetus (I think in pieces) with "fingernails that were quite long."
He's not heavy, he's my brother....
Had to be said.
it's a child, not a choice! culture of life!
I'm with Carollani. There are so many un-answered questions!! If they had removed him properly, could he have survived?
a girl i work with had a "growth" removed about a month ago -- it weighed around five pounds, was the size of a melon, and upon extraction they learned that it had hair. her unformed twin, or her psychic baby brother on the move a la dr. bloodmoney? that has been the topic of many a lunch hour debate.
Wait - the inside twin is ALIVE?
"Sometimes, however, as in Bhagat's case, the host twin survives and is delivered."
What happened to it?
Wow, that is amazing. I kinda want to see a picture of the thing, but ugh! That is so X-Files freaky!
So many unanswered questions: Did it have a heartbeat? Did it have a brain? Did it have a face? Or was it just a mass of limbs, jaws, genilalia (male or female??), and hair? What did the doctors DO with it? How could this have happened in 1999 and we only heard about it now?
I believe Grey's Anatomy did an episode about this...albeit with a cute white guy.
They don't really answer all the questions you might have, but here's a video that shows the thing that came out of the guy. It didn't have a head, so no brain.
trolly: "a girl i work with had a "growth" removed about a month ago -- it weighed around five pounds, was the size of a melon, and upon extraction they learned that it had hair. her unformed twin, or her psychic baby brother on the move a la dr. bloodmoney? that has been the topic of many a lunch hour debate."
Not her twin, just a tumor with differentiated cells. Tumors with hair aren't too unusual. Likewise nails. Especially in cosmetologists exposed to chemicals.
parasite is right. that guy looked much heartier in the interview some months afterward. "2lbs of hair...44 lbs of fluid" and a flayed chicken with nails. gawd.

And along the way hilarity ensues. The scenes between Burt and Verona are frequently hysterical, though when they are meeting their friends or relatives they tend to become "straight men" and the humor shifts over to the others. Although several people are absolutely outstanding, two actors deserve special mention. First, Allison Janney is absolutely hysterical as Verona's former boss in Chicago (more about Chicago in a second). She is, putting it simply, a nightmare of a mother. But in the most hysterical of ways. (Now on Chicago. Verona mentions working in Chicago and she is shown to be a medical illustrator.Read more ›
The basic set-up is simple and understandable in that movie universe sort of way, but two winning performances from leads Mya Rudolph and Chris Krisinski really help this thing over some of the comedy set-up trappings. Rudolph is an actress that I've known from SNL and that's it, I've not seen here in anything else. Surprisingly, she ends up playing straight-man to Krisinski. And you she gives a very touching and honest performance, and I see a great career outside anything resembling comedy in her future. Krisinski is an actor I've never seen in anything. I've been informed that he is one of the stars of the American version of The Office, and he, like Rudolph, is someone I want to see more of. He plays affable in this film like a pro. He's an optimist and a realist all in one heartwarming stroke. He's the goofier of the couple but it comes off more like it's part of his character and his personality and less like comedy schtick. Together I would watch any film premise about this pairing.
This is a real couple, not a made up movie couple. This is my favorite part of this film. The plot is cute and similar to that of the great film Flirting With Disaster, but the unmarried leads make this film above average. They don't have silly, pointless and melodramatic arguments to up the conflict factor most these type of films contrive for the sheer 'entertainment' value.Read more ›

Second Trimester 1stTrimester 3rd Trimester
115 days to go...
Your baby today
The joints and bones of the hand are still very soft, although the cartilage skeleton is now gradually being replaced by bone. This image shows well the numerous capillaries supplying blood to the hands, right down to the fingertips.
Over the next few weeks, your baby will take on more of the appearance of a newborn.
Your baby's eyelids and eyebrows are well developed by this week of pregnancy, but the eyelids remain fused. The cells that are destined to become your baby's fingernails were present at 10 weeks, and the cells for the toenails were present four weeks later.
Now, at 23 weeks, the nails are just beginning to make an appearance at the base of the nail bed. The nails will grow continuously throughout life, but it will be several weeks before they have reached the tips of the fingers and then the toes.
Your baby's skin is developing quickly and often appears wrinkled at this stage; it is as if the baby has yet to grow into it. Your baby is now covered in extremely fine and short hairs, known as "lanugo." This layer of hair will be almost completely lost before birth. The hairs help trap vernix onto the surface of the skin; this is the white, greasy layer that you often see in patches on a baby's skin at birth. It collects in the skin folds and creases and helps protect the baby's skin not only from the water content of the amniotic fluid, but also the waste products within it.
As your pregnancy advances, your baby's kidney function is improving and the amniotic fluid produced becomes increasingly similar to urine in its composition.
Pregnancy posture
Your posture will naturally change as a result of pregnancy; this is due to the extra weight you're carrying and the softening of your joints.
Prior to pregnancy, your center of gravity was directly over your hips; during later pregnancy it shifts forward to your enlarged abdomen. This dramatic shift in your center of gravity increases the curve of your lower spine, and can result in lower back pain (see Banish backaches). The weight you gain during pregnancy can also put strain on the back.
Exercises can help balance your body and alleviate the muscular aches associated with changes in your posture. It's important to adapt to these postural changes in pregnancy:
- Do abdominal exercises , to strengthen the core muscles, as well as back stretches. These help maintain good posture and avoid back pain later in pregnancy.
- Be aware of the way you're walking and standing: pull your shoulders down and back, do not arch your lower back and keep your pelvis in a neutral position.
- Avoid balancing anything on your hip, because this can affect your hip and back alignment.
- Don't hold a phone between your head and shoulder because this can result in neck pain.

Brewers wanting to create authentic English-style ales choose Danstar Windsor yeast to bring out the right characteristics from their beer.
Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales.
Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).
Lallemand's vacuum-sealing method minimizes packaged air and moisture while giving the user a visible and tactile assurance that the package is airtight.

Recipe of the Day: Roasted Shrimp with Smoky Tomato Coulis (Recipe and Photo via Well Fed)
Serves 2.
(For the tomato coulis)
8 to 10 tomatoes
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 clove of garlic, thinly sliced
3 or 4 oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 chipotle pepper, chopped
1/4 teaspoon chile powder
Kosher salt
(For the shrimp)
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
First make the coulis.
Roast the tomatoes over a gas flame or on a grill until the skins are charred and blackened.
When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, quarter them and place in a saucepan, along with the garlic, shallots, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cover and cook over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chipotle pepped and the chile powder and then cover and cook for another 30 to 40 minutes. Depending on the kind of tomato you use (romas have more flesh and less of the juice than other tomatoes), the sauce might seem a little thick. If it does, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of water.
When the mixture is finished cooking, strain it through a sieve, set over a bowl, pressing down on the solids. Make sure to scrap the underside of the sieve.
The resulting sauce should be about the consistency of ketchup. Season with salt. The couli can be made several days in advance, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
To make the shrimp, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the shrimp on a sheet pan and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and juice, and roast in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes.
To serve, spoon some of the coulis onto a plate and then mound several shrimp on top, then scatter with chopped chives. A chiffonade of basil would also be appropriate. Or some tarragon or dill.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to remove the white space above the header specifically when I'm using the Sidebar Template.
When I use the Default Template on a page (which I am toggling by using the Template drop-down menu under Pages > Quick Edit), I don't have this issue (I believe at some point I found a setting on my child theme which fixed this for the Default Template, but of course I don't remember what it was...). I can't seem to find any settings in style.css or any of the php files that allow me to adjust the white space above the title for the Sidebar Template.
Here are some images that illustrate what I'm trying to change (it's the same page using the Sidebar Template vs the Default Template):
Sidebar Template - http://www.flickr.com/photos/22042186@N08/7590997200/
Default Template - http://www.flickr.com/photos/22042186@N08/7590997360/
The website is http://www.samanthadurante.com - right now I have the Default Template chosen, but I can switch it if it would help anyone who's looking at this.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I am new to WordPress, so I can use all the help I can get. :-) Thanks!

Learn how to kill house flies by making your own flypaper using products you already have around the house.
By Jessica Kellner
Perusing the pest control options in the hardware store will likely yield an endless supply of label warnings such as "poison" or "toxic." But you don't have to live with toxins to get rid of bugs. Learn how to kill house flies with this simple (and safe!) nontoxic solution: make your own flypaper. Mix corn syrup, granulated sugar and brown sugar, then soak strips of kraft paper in the mixture and let them dry overnight. Finally, hang these sticky fly traps in intervals around your house. These fly strips are incredibly sticky, so be sure to hang them out of the way of heavy trafficked areas.
When it comes to warding off pests, you must first figure out what conditions in your home the pests find attractive. Sources of water and food are usually good places to start, as they are magnets to pests who would like to make it their home. Asses your home, looking for places that seem appealing to bugs and make it difficult for them to access those resources. There are a number of natural ways to troubleshoot pest problems, including getting rid of ants, silverfish, moths, weevils and fleas. (For more on natural pest repellents from Mother Earth Living see Bug Out: Preventative Pest Control.)

|Birth name
|Kenneth Spencer Sabir
|Also known as
|ca. 1975
|Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
|Hip hop
|Years active
|Elefant Traks
|Associated acts
|The Herd
Kenneth Spencer Sabir (born ca. 1975), who performs as Traksewt, is an Australian musician, computer programmer, record label founder and event organiser. In 1998 Sabir co-founded an independent record label, Elefant Traks. In 2001, with his fellow label owners, he was an original member of hip-hop band, The Herd and is their producer. As of August 2011, The Herd have released five studio albums including Summerland (2008) which peaked at No. 7 on the ARIA Albums Chart and Future Shade (2011) which reached the top 30.
Sabir is a co-founder and former manager of the Sound Summit, an independent electronic record labels conference in Newcastle, as part of the annual This Is Not Art Festival. He was involved in the development and founding of the annual Freeplay Independent Games Festival. Sabir is a computer programmer, in 2000 he developed the DASE (Distributed Audio SEquencer) which allowed musicians to jam in near real time over the internet. He was a contributor to the development of the Open Source OGRE Engine (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine).
Kenneth Spencer Sabir was born in about 1975 and grew up in Sydney.[1][2][3] Sabir started music lessons at the age of four, initially on a quarter-sized violin, followed by piano at six years old.[2] Later he learned various instruments including accordion, clarinet, drums and guitar.[2] In 1992–93 he attended Cherrybrook Technology High School. After leaving school he played drums in "a lo-fi rock band ... for a couple of years".[2] From 1994 to 1999 Sabir completed a Bachelor of Engineering, Computer Engineering at University of Technology, Sydney.
While performing with his rock band he became "frustrated though because I wasn't getting any input into the creative process, things like melody and chords so I thought 'hey, I can do all this myself'".[2] In 1998 Sabir founded a record label, Elefant Traks, one of the first releases was by Richard Tamplenizza aka Sulo.[4] He enlisted friends to help with running the label including Tim Levinson (aka Urthboy). In 2000 he co-founded, with Sebastian Chan and Marcus Westbury, the Sound Summit, an independent electronic record labels conference in Newcastle, as part of the annual This Is Not Art Festival.[3] After the festival, with other attendees, Sabir tried collaborating on songwriting "that was me and Shannon [Kennedy] (Ozi Batla) at first. We sold the idea to a lot of artists we respected. We all shipped up our studio gear, computers and keyboards into a holiday house up there, and that's how we started recording".[3] That same year Sabir developed the DASE (Distributed Audio SEquencer) which allowed musicians to jam in near real time over the internet.[5] With a collective, Dase Team 5000, he demonstrated the software at the Australasian Computer Music Conference.[5]
In 2001 Sabir, as Traksewt (on piano, accordion, clarinet, and beats), was a founding member of The Herd in Sydney as an Australian hip hop and rap group.[5] Other founders were Urthboy, Ozi Batla, and Berzerkatron (Simon Fellows) as MCs; Rok Poshtya (Dale Harrison) on bass guitar; Sulo on beats and guitar; Toe Fu (Byron Williams) on guitar; and Unkle Ho (Kaho Cheung) on beats.[5] As of August 2011, The Herd have released five studio albums including, Summerland (2008), which peaked at No. 7 on the ARIA Albums Chart and Future Shade (2011) which reached the top 30.[6] Kenny wrote the music and produced one of the singles from Future Shade called 'A Thousand Lives' that was a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition 2011, where it received an honourable mention.[7]

How Schröder batted off Blair
The former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has fun settling a few old scores in his new book, Klare Worte (or "Plain Speaking"). He says that Tony Blair, for instance, got "a bit too unctuous" in later years and used to preach like a priest. (You didn't have to live with him, Gerhard.)
He also teases Blair for bringing along his tennis coach for a crack-of-dawn match against Schröder at a G8 summit in Canada in 2002. "He still didn't have a chance," the German boasts.
Schröder says that he got on well with George W.
