This is a question I've pondered considerably. My provisional answer is yes they do. However I think they think everyone else is lying also. For them this includes surgeons, pilots, tattoo artists and other highly trained specialists. But this would mean that there is no hard reality to them, reality isn't really real — it's plastic and responsive to emotional wish. From the research (A. Raine's comes to mind) it seems their brains are radically different.
They are one of the few psychopathic subsets that I consider mentally ill and deserving of confinement in mental hospitals — not to cure them, which can't be done, but to protect society.

I assume the searcher is asking about percentages, in other words are investment bankers more often sociopathic than the norm?
Well, it just so happens that I spent over twenty years working for Wall Street firms. A distant second source of employment were law firms. From my experience I would say that there seems to be a higher percentage of sociopathic bankers than lawyers, which might seem surprising.
I spent at least a year, either as a permanent or freelance, at E.F. Hutton, PaineWebber, Drexel, Salomon Brothers, Lehman Brothers, Union Bank of Switzerland and UBS (after the merger with the dominant partner Swissbank). I was at Drexel during the go-go years when support (operations) staff were buying cars for cash with their bonuses (I was freelance at the time unfortunately). I was there at then end when support staff were asked to leave a professionals only why-Drexel-is-closing meeting. I was at Salomon Brothers on Black Thursday, and later, from a computer room, heard names being called out on the trading floor — those called had a half hour to gather their stuff and leave the premises.
Of these banks I personally knew or knew of sociopaths at E.F. Hutton, Lehman Brothers, PaineWebber and UBS. I strongly suspected Salomon's Gutfriend's wife to be a sociopath but I suppose that doesn't count. From news stories, I'm sure some of the Drexel senior bankers and executives were sociopathic but I had no personal contact with them and no entry to their offices. But if one accepts that one can often recognize sociopathic arrogance and attitude at a glance, as I do, then all Wall Street companies with trading floors have sociopathic employees.
In my opinion, E.F. Hutton was actually a sociopathic enterprise led by the sociopath Bob Fomon (this became obvious about Bob Fomon over time and for many reasons). Sociopaths of the SAP (socially adept psychopaths) variety, cluster. As permanent children the world is a daunting place for them — or to put it another way, they are all strangers in a strange land. They will gravitate towards those SAPs who are more able to navigate the outside world. Low level, unable to defer gratification, astronomically egotistical sociopaths don't play well with other sociopaths and "King Sociopaths," those at the center of sociopathic clusters, seem to often resent interacting with other "King Sociopaths." Many people believe sociopaths are loners due to these two reasons, I think, but I believe the majority are not.
And of course, a sociopathic enterprise offers the promise of corruption for all.
Bob Fomon had the self control and ability to defer gratification to be a successful sociopath (in the sense of passing for normal and having a successful career) but he was unable to hire other sociopaths of his caliber. The sociopaths underneath him could not keep their hands out of the cookie jar however.
Sociopathic stories from Hutton:
I recall Bob Fomon having a fondness for teenage female company (of legal age) but he felt he had to claim the relationships were platonic. I don't believe he found many believers — sociopaths will try the stupidest explanations, any excuse will do. When he showed up with a foot in a cast, the jokes went that he must have fallen off that red velvet swing. And at his age.
I knew a high vice president who was rumored to be having a long-running affair with a gay manager underneath him. When I mentioned this to a young female co-worker she said "No that's not true. He merely calls him every morning." This same young friend had warned me earlier not to believe any rumors that she was having an affair with the same vice president. Slow on the uptake, I said, "What! How do you know that?" Anyway, when the day came that management wanted the gay manager to leave the employment of Hutton but apparently not wanting to fire him directly, the vice president simply took away not only his office but even his desk. The deskless manager was forced to wander like a ghost until he quit on his own. I'm sure it was emotionally devastating for him. Sociopaths seem to enjoy pulling that emotional rug out from under their lovers when they discard them. An element involved, I believe, is their resenting having been cast as a emotional partner when they feel no emotions and they decide to show that in the end.
The check-kiting scandal that brought down Hutton — just what were they thinking? Of course that was in the day and age that Wall Street banks relied on their reputation and needed their clients to survive as opposed to trading on their own account against their clients.
Sociopathic stories from UBS:
I considered more than one high level officer of my division to be sociopathic. In addition I have never worked with a higher percentage of children of sociopaths. The children of sociopaths, almost without exception, are deeply, deeply humiliated (without ever recognizing the sociopathicness of the humiliating parent). The constellation of traits is actually easy to recognize, though sometimes they internalize the sociopathic humiliator to such an extent that they may be taken for sociopaths themselves. And, of course, they are very comfortable working with sociopaths (as in, being totally oblivious to it).
Under the UBS corporate structure, the regional heads had enormous power. Many became combinations of screaming babies and lord high potentates. With outside restrictions removed sociopaths know no restraint. I'm not saying that they all were sociopathic, but more than one were, in my opinion.
The junior bankers were often terrorized by these regional heads and would beg us in NYC to go along and do what their bosses wanted. I would hear such phrases as "He'll win anyway don't fight him", "He just has to have his own way". They knew their bosses were screaming babies but they never drew any conclusions.
Some managing directors seemed to be very mild mannered to outsiders but their staffs were utterly terrified of disappointing them. One sees such manipulation by sociopaths often. Warren Jeffs comes to mind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Jeffs).
A pathologically lying sociopath (i.e, a pseudologue, the condition is called pseudologia fantastica) found complete safety at UBS for years. When he was hired he claimed to have just gotten over both leukemia (seemingly, a cancer hoax favorite) and a kidney transplant. Five years later he brought in a cake one day, saying it was his fifteenth year of remission from leukemia, apparently having forgotten his earlier story. When confronted he was smooth as silk, an incredible performance. However others, including management, still protected him. He was kind of like a Schmoo, anything you wanted in a friend. But in reality he was the equivalent of a calculating machine always calculating what his object wanted from him — if, a big if, it suited his purposes. Like all sociopaths he was a genius at getting others to take care of him and quite a few co-workers were heavily emotionally invested in believing in his Schmoo friendship.
I believe this same pseudologue found further safety in the embrace of a male sex-party ring, that included members from all levels of employment, that was rumored to exist (ten years worth of rumors and drunken comments). Also see Not frat boy behavior, sociopathic behavior. I don't care what people do in private, but in a corporate setting and with members of management involved such activity is not a private matter. I believe this ring helped further this pseudologue's security (not to mention the possibility of explicit or implicit blackmail) and he branched out into puppetmastery, slander and workplace bullying. The manager whose responsibilities he essentially co-opted was absolutely unaware of it. She was his biggest devotee — his word was golden, and she seemingly couldn't stand to disappoint him. Uncanny.
There was something else worth noting about this pseudologue. In a sense he became a King Sociopath, i.e., one that other sociopaths clustered about and followed. As a pseudologue he literally had all the certainty of one who makes up their own facts. (It seems pseudologues know they are lying, but they seem to think everyone is lying and that there is no "real" reality.) This certainty carried weight with more childish sociopaths (some of whom were much higher than him in the corporate hierarchy) looking for help in dealing with the non-sociopath world.
One time a junior banker (later a managing director) came by, all excited that his young children had included him in a discussion of whether folding toilet paper or bunching it up was a better technique. This was something he could relate to instantly. Sociopaths, as part of their arrested development, are endlessly fascinated by bodily functions. "'[The Manipulator] loves to walk down the street in pride and certainly, knowing he's but one moment away from an attack of diarrhea. This makes him unique among the masses. The Toxick Magician always views his adversary with his head in the toilet bowl", http://www.scribd.com/doc/11554313/The-Psychopaths-Bible.
I recall a junior banker, with a Harvard degree, who was famous for an occurrence of semi-public sex at one of our corporate holiday parties. He and a very willing, very drunk partner availed themselves of a stairwell with co-workers peaking in amazement around the corner, as I understand it. She left soon after, but he was there for years, no doubt thinking it was totally normal behavior. For more on the sociopath's lack of need for privacy see Menace to society: Nushawn Williams should be involuntarily committed as a dangerous psychopath.
The holocaust gold history of both Union Bank of Switzerland and Swiss Bank, both historical and modern.
Derivatives are a whole other issue — though perhaps more what the searcher had in mind, rather than the vignettes above. There is no question that derivatives were hatched by a sociopathic mind or a sociopathic modality mind. The notion of derivatives (essentially insurance but with no need that the buyer be a stakeholder, i.e., they're sidebets, pure gambling) is grotesquely irresponsible, ignorant of reality, ignorant of cause and effect, ignorant of what drives economies. Financing is the tail of the dog, not the dog. The financial service industry has to serve the greater economy. Obviously if there were trillions of dollars bet on sporting outcomes, the debts would be unenforceable and laughed at. However the power players are still demanding that derivative bets be paid off, though the value is greater than the world economy. This is insane, though not to sociopaths. Derivatives are the economic equivalent of perpetual motion machines, another great sociopathic favorite. Being permanent children scientific cause and effect are beyond them.
Derivatives and the sociopathic philosophy behind them and the insane notion of a riskfree capitalism have crashed the world economy. See Welcome to our sociopaths-gone-wild economy and Commonalities between Wall Street speculators and/or Fed bankers and sociopaths.
Search: pseudologia fantastica treatment

There isn't any. Pseudologues (i.e., sociopaths who are also pathological liars) are the way they are born to be. Neither freewill or individual psychology plays any role. Their brains are even different (www.futurepundit.com/archives/001998.html, www.futurepundit.com/archives/003035.html.
However, there are other types of psychological liars so each individual should obviously be evaluated. A problem with this, though, is that those individuals we would assume to be experts, therapists, probably have less experience with pseudologues and sociopaths than we do in daily life. Pseudologues and sociopaths, being perfect in every way, simply do not often present themselves for treatment. Further, if they do, their purpose is not to change but to learn how to pass for normal more easily — in effect they seek to use talk therapy to become more adept as sociopathic predators.
I agree with those that believe pseudologues and sociopaths should never, ever be accepted into talk therapy. I would go even further to state that any therapists who do in fact do this should lose their licenses — since it is only by their being out of touch with their own soul that they could fail to recognize the soulless, could fail to recognize that they couldn't reach the sociopathic client. Any therapist out of touch with their own soul can not be of any use to anybody, is by definition not even a therapist in the first place.
The worst situation I have ever known of in this regard involved a therapy group that allowed sociopathic members along with the depressives, neurotics, incest victims, etc. I'm sure the therapist (Nancy Becker, LCSW, http://nancybeckertherapy.com/, https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/name/Nancy_Becker_LCSW_New+York_New+York_145736) would never have thrown piranhas into a goldfish bowl, but this she found acceptable. I'm not a fan of group therapy in the first place (I believe it is a grotesque lowering of boundaries before strangers one can not know) but accepting sociopaths into group therapy should be grounds for automatic malpractice suits against a therapist.
A universal among sociopaths (including pseudologues) is delight at manipulating the non-sociopathic into behavior betraying their souls.
In the instance above I consider the therapist to be a rigid or malignant narcissist herself (one of Scott Peck's mentally ill evil described in his book, People of the Lie). Many people object to the concepts of evil and mental illness being joined, I can only assume they have never dealt with any malignant narcissists. Group therapy with such a flawed therapist would become a celebration of her defect. Sociopaths would effortlessly join that effort. In addition narcissists are very attracted to sociopaths, narcissists themselves have to spend eternity fighting their souls, their consciences, their dreams and do in fact wake up to their true humanity occasionally. Sociopaths have none of these problems.
A small grotesquery in an extremely grotesque story is that this therapist was called Mother by her clients. It is hard to imagine a greater perversion of reality or semantics.

This is the first time I've ever seen this search. All I can say, the most extreme female sociopath I've ever known said cats and dogs hated her. Was this just something unique to her or do dogs and cats have some innate sense of fairplay? Did they recognize her as a rapacious, reptilian-minded predator? I don't know. [More in the comments below.]
Pseudologia fantastica in real person: Yep, it's real alright. Actually if one is not immediately caught up and swept away by the pseudologue's "pity play" then they are more obvious than regular sociopaths — their stories are so extreme and fantastical.
How to get a workplace sociopath to leave: Good luck.
How to let go of a sociopath: This will happen when your soul (not your mind) realizes there is no soul in the other person. If this doesn't happen, perhaps the other person is not a sociopath or perhaps you are actually fighting a realization that one of your parents is sociopathic ($50 please).
Or in the emotional immediacy of transsociopathica's words:
A few months after you have recovered you will wonder what you ever saw in these things. They will rapidly seem cold, ugly, empty, pathetic, distorted and almost deformed to you. That's because this is what they are, always were, and you are finally perceiving them in their real unmasked state. This 'broken beast' is all that's left and the only memory you'll have of them going into the future. It's all they deserve, because it is all they are. http://transsociopathica.blogspot.com/2009/10/farewell-my-sociopath-hello-real-love.html
Sociopath at parties: Due to few inhibitions and no shame they can be real lives of the party. Read "The Incredible Charlie Carewe" (http://www.amazon.com/incredible-Charlie-Carewe-Mary-Astor/dp/B00005W69S). Some are also very, very skillful at party crashing. (https://kat.cr/the-incredible-charlie-carewe-mary-astor-mobi-t7972573.html, https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5798604M/The_incredible_Charlie_Carewe).
Sociopath and blackmailing: Goes together like ham and eggs. They love crimes without consequence.
Pictures of Thomas Capano: Hmmm. This is a repeat search. He's the only one of my blog's possible sociopaths (more than possible in his case) whose picture people seem particularly interested in. I don't know why.
I was with a sociopath for 8 years…why? For one thing, since no one is ever informed of this possibility as they are growing up or upon reaching romantic age, it often takes years for someone to realize their situation. Also, as the sociopath often cons relatives of the non-sociopath, individuals in your position are really on their own. Addressing this is one of the main missions of my blog.
You have a lot of company. Ann Landers was married for thirty years to the sociopath, in my opinion of course, Jules Lederer (who she described as the best salesman in the world). They met while she was shopping for a wedding dress for her upcoming marriage to another person. Just the kind of challenge that might appeal to a "super" sociopath. Also, as I recall, her sister, Dear Abby, criticized her after the divorce for not understanding her husband.
Are sociopaths giving to neighbors and friends? I have witnessed such behavior, but it was only used to engender goodwill to set up later depredations. Like a "pity play" (all sociopaths excel at inducing people to feel sorry for them) it brings people to their side emotionally. Often, it seems, they want a reservoir of protectors before they commit their antisocial depredations (such as date/friend rape, "dress gray" rape, tricking a teen neighbor into prostitution, outright thievery, "murder by suicide" bullying (this is no exaggeration), blackmail, etc.). They want the accuser to be met with angry disbelief (anger that such a nice person would be accused). Not only do they wish to protect themselves through "plausible lies," they want to place their victims in the position of having to claim "implausible truths."
Can God change a sociopath? The short answer is no. That would be akin to changing a stone into a block of wood, or lead to gold. If the question is actually can sociopaths be lead to see the error of their ways and cease being sociopaths, unfortunately the answer is absolutely not. Sociopaths have their own nature, they are the way they are born to be. "Socially acceptable psychopaths" (SAPs) who, by definition are capable as passing in normal society, can choose whether or not to follow society's norms and laws but they can't feel them. Justice and empathy are just empty words, even to them. This searcher might be interested in the post, "More structural brain abnormalities seen in psychopaths". I think its clear that most sociopaths are born with these brain structures.

Drifter & sociopath: The drifters and rolling stones of life are in fact often sociopaths, driven by boredom and lack of emotional bonds. Boredom is simply one of their prime driving forces. Thus the backwaters, catch basins and outposts of empires or large nations have a much higher sociopathic percentage — for example, California, Australia and New Zealand.
Will my baby be born a sociopath?: Here's a heart breaker. From the little I know, it seems the genetics of sociopathy is very complex. I'll try to look into this further. If this searcher was attracted to a sociopath because one of her parents was sociopathic the odds aren't good.

Real estate can be deadly: British tycoon kills stubborn tenant
September 8, 2009. This story just screams sociopathy.
. . . Papalexis quickly positioned himself as king of his world, installing a throne in his office, renting an impressive mansion, and throwing lavish galas that were filled with A-list partygoers . . .
By 2009, however, it had all begun to fall apart. He was fighting against creditors, and was in arrears on rent for his mansion. Worse yet, his girlfriend — a former porn star and prostitute who charged almost $2,500 per night — had turned on him. During a fight, the woman, Rebecca deFalco, asked him if he'd ever killed anyone and Papalexis told her the story of Bambi, a "nobody" who "got in the way."
In many ways, DeFalco represented another side of Papalexis' life. In addition to his gilded lifestyle as a member of Palm Beach's elite, he was also a sadist who described himself on one website as "The King of his own realm." Certainly, his darker pursuits played a part in Christodoulides' murder: before strangling the shy, lonely man, Papalexis brutally tortured him. . . .

DNA Shows Man Is Not Long-Lost Boy
John Barnes and the still missing Stephen Damman
DNA testing confirmed that a Michigan man is not a toddler kidnapped on New York's Long Island in 1955, the FBI said Thursday, closing a chapter in a bizarre mystery that started after the man began researching his roots on the Internet.
The FBI said in a statement that a test showed John Barnes, an unemployed man in his 50s who lives in a trailer in northwest Michigan, is not Stephen Damman, who disappeared at age 2 from outside an East Meadow bakery while his mother shopped.
The sample showed Barnes could not have the same mother as Pamela Damman Horne, the sister of the toddler who was with him when he disappeared, the FBI said. She was found in her stroller, unharmed, around the corner from the market.
The case had raised the hopes of the toddler's father, Jerry Damman, who runs a 300-acre farm in Iowa, and stunned the community where the Halloween kidnapping occurred. Damman, now 78, had said he hoped for a resolution after five decades of silence.
"It's too bad we had to go through all of this for actually nothing in the end," he told The Associated Press.

A detailed series of articles can be found here: http://www.newsday.com/7.25434?q=john+barnes
It would seem we have a pseudologue here. It recalls to mind the story of Binjamin Wilkomirski/Bruno Grosjean, the author of Fragments, which purported to be a Holocaust memoir (http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1999/06/14/1999_06_14_048_TNY_LIBRY_000018396). There are a couple points that I would like to concentrate on here, first, the odd relationship between reality and these individuals and second, the emotional desires aspect of their claims.
I should really write about pseudologia fantastica more often, even if they are just 'thinking aloud' posts since pseudologues are such a puzzlement. Every day readers find me through searching for that term. My "Suzy Bass — What is Pseudologia Fantastica?" post is one of my most visited posts (https://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/suzy-bass-what-is-pseudologia-fantastica/). In a sense, pseudologic sociopaths are more obvious than other sociopaths because their claims are so extreme. Apparently readers are searching the internet to understand this phenomenon.
Most sociopaths seem to know perfectly well what's real or not (though cause and effect are another matter). Pseudologues don't seem to know the difference between reality and the stating of it. In both of these cases the individuals should have known their claims could not survive DNA testing. That there is a "real" reality out there doesn't seem to impinge upon their consciousness.
Concerning the emotional desire aspect, both of these cases featured the claimants being long lost relatives passionately wished and waited for. It appears that this was a prize to be desired for these individuals. I recall a description of visitors to the Christian holylands sometimes coming down with a temporary derangement and claiming to be Jesus reincarnated (on edit: Jerusalem Syndrome). (To the best of my recollection, this came from a Smithsonian issue in the early nineties — if anybody has back issues to check I would certainly appreciate it. I haven't been able to find it in Readers' Guide however.) Again, there is a real emotional drive here to be what they think others want them to be or to be what others would respond to. The psychologists were further quoted saying that these individuals would almost always go back home and return to normal — to me, that's like saying serial killers go back to normal in between killings.
Of the two pseudologues I believe I have known, one would place himself at the very center of historic events. The stories would be long and convoluted with the excuses for not being mentioned in the news stories or photos even more so. I never knew him to draw back from these stories or in anyway signal that he wasn't serious. The desire to be in these stories seems to have been the driving force.
Police: Duke University official offered adopted son for sex
Frank Lombard
A Duke University official is accused of offering his 5-year-old adopted son for sex on the Internet, according to the FBI and court documents in the case.
Frank M. Lombard, 42, was arrested last week at his home in Durham, North Carolina. During an Internet chat, Lombard allegedly offered the child to the person he was chatting with, who was a task force officer from Washington's Metropolitan Police, the FBI said in a statement.
The chat was initiated after a confidential source facing child pornography charges told authorities they had witnessed a man, allegedly Lombard, performing sex acts on a child over the Internet.
During the chat, according to the complaint filed against Lombard, he told the officer that he had performed multiple sex acts on the boy and that the officer could do the same if he came to Durham.
According to a transcript of the chat, reprinted in the complaint, Lombard allegedly told the officer that he had to hide the abuse from his partner and that he drugged the child with allergy medication.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/30/duke.molestation.internet/index.html
I have known a number of sociopaths to pass themselves off simply as being gay. Ask any gay friend or acquaintance how many "trysexuals" they know ("trysexuals" of course means what it sounds like, pansexuals who will try anything sexual). Prepare to be stunned.
Judge tosses out mom's convictions in MySpace hoax — Girl killed herself; ruling tentative
Lori Drew
U.S. District Court Judge George Wu
A federal judge yesterday tentatively threw out the convictions of a Missouri mother for her role in a MySpace hoax directed at a 13-year-old neighbor girl who ended up committing suicide.
U.S. District Judge George Wu said he was acquitting Lori Drew of misdemeanor counts of accessing computers without authorization, but he emphasized that the ruling was tentative until he issues it in writing. He noted the case of a judge who changed his mind after ruling.
Wu said he allowed the case to proceed to trial when Drew was charged with a felony, but she was convicted only of the misdemeanor, and that presented constitutional problems.
Prosecutors said Drew sought to humiliate Megan by helping create a fictitious teen boy on the social networking site and sending flirtatious messages to the girl in his name. The fake boy then dumped Megan in a message saying the world would be better without her.
She hanged herself a short time later in October 2006 in the St. Louis suburb of Dardenne Prairie, Mo.
http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/jul/03/judge-tosses-out-moms-convictions-myspace-hoax/
This story is very troubling. "Murder by suicide," I believe, is a great favorite of sociopaths — it's a crime without consequence. How did Lori Drew react to Megan's death? Was it, "Chortle, chortle, snort"? I have no idea.
Judge Wu said the ruling was tentative and that he would have accepted a felony verdict. What kind of nonsense is this? The jury acted on good faith on the misdemeanor charge — why was it allowed in? The great danger of sociopathic judges is not the outright corruption I've written about elsewhere in this blog, but rather, the siding with the co-sociopathic that appear before him or her.
Anthony Stancl accused of sick sex blackmail on Facebook
AN 18-year-old high school student is accused of posing as a girl on Facebook, tricking at least 31 male classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves and then blackmailing some for sex acts.
The incidents happened from spring 2007 through to November, when officers questioned Stancl about a bomb threat he allegedly sent to teachers and wrote about on a school's bathroom wall. It resulted in the closing of New Berlin Eisenhower Middle and High School.
According to the criminal complaint, Stancl first contacted the students through the social networking site Facebook, pretending to be a girl named Kayla or Emily.
The boys reported they were tricked into sending nude photos or videos of themselves, the complaint said.
Thirty-one victims were identified and interviewed and more than half said the girl with whom they were communicating tried to get them to meet with a male friend to let him perform sex acts on them.
They were told that if they didn't, she would send the nude photos or movies to their friends and post them on the Internet, according to the complaint. Stancl used the excuse to get the victims to perform repeated acts, the complaint said.

Domination, bullying, arrogance, demonstrating his superiority — it has all the elements. Blackmail seems to be a great favorite of sociopaths, another crime without consequence (usually).
Murder for ratings? Brazil cops suspect TV host
In one murder after another, the "Canal Livre" crime TV show had an uncanny knack for being first on the scene, gathering graphic footage of the victim.Too uncanny, say police, who are investigating the show's host, state legislator Wallace Souza, on suspicion of commissioning at least five of the murders to boost his ratings and prove his claim that Brazil's Amazon region is awash in violent crime. Police also have accused Souza of drug trafficking.
"The order to execute always came from the legislator and his son, who then alerted the TV crews to get to the scene before the police," state police intelligence chief Thomaz Vasconcelos charged in an interview with The Associated Press.
The killings of competing drug traffickers, he said, "appear to have been committed to get rid of his rivals and increase the audience of the TV show."
Souza denied all the criminal allegations and called them absurd, insisting that he and his son are being set up by political enemies and drug dealers sick of his two decades of relentless crime coverage on TV and crusading legislative probes.

Texas police shake down drivers, lawsuit claims
TENAHA, Texas (CNN) — Roderick Daniels was traveling through East Texas in October 2007 when, he says, he was the victim of a highway robbery.
The Tennessee man says he was ordered to pull his car over and surrender his jewelry and $8,500 in cash that he had with him to buy a new car.
But Daniels couldn't go to the police to report the incident.
The men who stopped him were the police.
"To have law enforcement and the district attorney essentially be crooks, in my judgment, should infuriate and does infuriate everyone," Whitmire said.

Five organizations team up on green initiative in the furnishings industry
news | Mar 15, 2017 |
"What's it made of?" That's what industry organizations including the Sustainable Furnishings Council, the American Sustainable Business Council, the Center for Environmental Health, the Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design, and GCI General Contractors are asking. The organizations have teamed up on the "What's It Made Of" Initiative, which encourages members of the industry to sign an online pledge that they will ask their suppliers to fully disclose information on production outputs, keeping the company's practices transparent.

The pledge, currently signed by 300 so far, can be found on the SFC site. It reads:
As a business leader, I am concerned about the health of our world—my employees, customers, communities, and the global environment. I am committed to reducing the use of chemicals that pose harm to human health and the environment. As a first step, I commit to ask my suppliers about the presence of chemicals of concern like flame retardants, fluorinated stain treatments, antimicrobials, vinyl and VOCs, including formaldehyde, that may be present in the products that we produce/specify/purchase.
Among the common harmful chemicals used in home furnishings are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including formaldehyde, which is a known carcinogen, used in adhesives, finishes, paint, coatings, and many other products; and flame-retardant chemicals, which have been found not to improve fire safety but instead impact human health, including endocrine disruption and reproductive, neurologic, and immune impairment, as well as being linked to cancer. Other chemicals include fluorinated stain treatments, common in upholstered furniture and carpeting; polyvinyl chloride, known as PVC or vinyl; and antimicrobials.
"More and more, consumers and businesses want to know what is in products. The big concern is: Are they safe? Our polling found that 82% of businesses agree that businesses should be required to share chemical ingredient information all along the supply chain," says David Levine, CEO, American Sustainable Business Council. "Transparency is good for business, which is why we and the businesses we represent strongly support the 'What's It Made Of' Initiative."
"We're pleased that manufacturers and other upstream businesses in the furniture supply chain are adopting a disclosure model that will equip them to answer a crucial but surprisingly difficult question: 'What's it made of?'" says Judy Levin, pollution prevention director, Center for Environmental Health. "Consumers usually assume that furniture and other products are made from safe materials, but unfortunately that is often not the case. This simple but forward-thinking question creates incentives not only for disclosure but also for choosing materials that keep workers and consumers safe at each point in a product's life cycle."
"When wellness and health are considered in the design and manufacture of furniture, then homes will be the havens that we know them to be," says Jonsara Ruth, design director of the Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design. "As designers we consider the full experience. By asking suppliers what ingredients are in products, we are fulfilling the desires of consumers to make the best, healthiest home furnishings products. We admire SFC's leadership in the home furnishings industry, and we are happy to be part of this initiative advocating for systemic change."

Concrete can only be customized in such that you select the shape of the pavement. While you can add paint or a finish to the surface once it's dried, additional customization options are extremely limited. With pavers, however, you can choose from a wide variety of colors, patterns and styles. You may want a paver driveway in a solid color stone and then opt to create a fun pattern as the centerpiece. You can also do this with your paver walkway or custom patio, for example. You can also use the same pavers for all of these features, pulling together a uniform design for your entire outdoor space. Pavers look much more upscale and thought-out than concrete, so that's something to keep in mind when considering property value as well. A patio made of concrete may look like it should be located at the community pool, while a paver patio showcases a homey feel and looks great with modern, Victorian and practically all styles of homes.
Concrete can crack and require a total redo.
Concrete has the potential to become damaged or look worn. It's not uncommon for concrete paths or driveways to crack as the temperature changes or if something is dropped on it. This type of damage can be dangerous to those walking over it as trips and falls are possible. In fact, concrete can only hold an average of 4,000 pounds per square inch. Pavers, on the other hand, doubles that to handle up to 8,000 PSI. This means pavers can better withstand use by heavy vehicles, large parties and possibly even a tree that falls unexpectedly. The joints between pavers feature sand stabilizer that balances weight across multiple pavers, mitigating the risks of damage. Plus, pavers are far denser than concrete which makes them much more difficult to crack.
Repairing concrete involves sawing or cutting out the damaged area and re-pouring to fill in the missing part. It's not easy to create a seamless fix, so this can leave your concrete sidewalk or driveway with an unappealing aesthetic. In the rare event that a paver needs to be replaced, it can easily be removed and exchanged with a new stone, leaving behind no signs that there was ever an issue.
Concrete does not come with a warranty. System Pavers offers a 25-year workmanship warranty on paver installation. If the workmanship of the installation fails to conform to our high installation quality specifications, we will repair or replace the pavers at our own expense.

On our holiday to Paleochora, Crete we spent a day on the East Beach. The sun was pretty hot, so we spent a lot of time under a tamarisk tree. I built a little wall.
which has cleaned up quite well. Note the change in the branding: no France and the Main Coroné has moved. This would indicate that it is quite a few years old. (I could not discover when this change occurred).
Really quite a long time ago, maybe sixteen years ago, I went to Tom's Farm, on Black Alder Road and walking up the Green Lane found this button. I rediscovered it recently and put it in some silvo, which seemed to show up a bit of silver, now black.
Will give it back to Tom, can't think why I ever took it away, except perhaps I was younger.
I have known about this particular hammer for ten years. It is a technique widely used in Melati, as William was mostly 'translating on the fly from OCAML' at the time, however I have never recognised a situation where it was the correct approach.
To a commercial programmer on the long journey from BASIC to lisp, via perl and java, even when you know of the functional hammer the world does not appear to have any functional nails in it.
The only way to reuse this, for a body2() function, would have been to cut'n'paste, which I will go to some lengths to avoid.
I think the world is soon going to appear to have a lot more nails in it.

One story houses with a low appearance that have a distinct broad front porch. Bungalows originated in Bengal, India, but the style has spread throughout the world. They are often built of rustic materials, and commonly have a gable roof with dormer windows.
Essex County roofers answer a question: What type of roof is the most durable?
Metal roofs are the most durable and as a result have a very long life span. They can last upwards of 50 years or more with very little maintenance. Wood shingles also have a high durability rating. They usually last 30 to 50 years if properly maintained. Tile roofs are known for their durability if weather conditions are favorable and they are maintained carefully.
There are many different roofing materials available today. Essex County roofers encourage homeowners to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each before making the decision on which type to use for a reroofing project. To help narrow it down, study the following description of each roofing type.
Asphalt shingles are a popular and contemporary roofing option chosen by many homeowners. Asphalt shingles are recommended for use on most style of homes. This option is inexpensive and comes in many colors, types, and sizes. Asphalt shingles are also relatively fire resistant and easy to repair. However, in comparison to other roofing options, asphalt shingles have a relatively short life span of 15 to 20 years and are subject to mildew and moss buildup in wetter climates.
Another option to consider is wood shingles or shakes. They are most commonly used on roofs of bungalows, cottages, and historic homes. Wood shingles offer the most natural appealing look of all roofing types. They also offer a minimal amount of insulating power, and assist and keeping the house cold in the summer and warm in the winter. If properly maintained, wood shingles can last up to 50 years. Beware that wood shingles are expensive and require maintenance.
Unless they are pressure treated, they also have a poor fire rating.
Metal roofing includes steel, aluminum, tin, or copper options. It can be used on virtually any style of house. A metal roof does not have to look like a solid sheet of metal, because metal roofing can mimic the shape and color of wood shingles. There are many advantages to a metal roof. Metal roofs are durable and can last up to 50 years with little to no maintenance. They hold up very well in extreme weather and can even be installed over existing roofs. There are few downsides to metal roofing, but they are relatively expensive and can require periodic painting.
Slate roofing is also a popular option readily available to homeowners. It goes well on Colonials or French style chateaus. It is arguably the most attractive option with the most distinct appearance. Each piece is unique and the finished roof is not unlike a work of art. Slate roofs have a long lifespan and do not require a lot of maintenance. These types of roofs are very expensive and require a specialized installation.
There are many roofing options available to homeowners when it comes time to reroof a home. For expert advice on how to make the right decision, please do not hesitate to contact a roofing professional.

Q: Como fazer uma datagridview C# ordenar uma lista (IList) com click no cabeçalho da grid? Como fazer uma DataGridView C# ordenar uma lista (IList) com click no cabeçalho da grid?
Por exemplo, tenho uma lista com três campos (id, nome, cidade), quando o usuario clicar na coluna nome, quero que ordene pelo Nome, se clicar na cidade quero que ordene por Cidade.
public class Pessoa
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public String Nome { get; set; }
    public String Cidade { get; set; }
}

Usando IList pessoas;
Usando o click do cabecalho da coluna na Grid.

A: Se você criar um dataTable você não precisa se "preocupar" com isto
Esta função converte sua lista para o datatable, você precisa instalar este pacote via nuget, FastMember, pois usa o TypeAccessor.
public static DataTable ConvertToDatatable(this IList source, String nameColumnPK)
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException();
    var table = new DataTable();
    if (source.Count == 0) return table;

    Type itemType = source[0].GetType();
    table.TableName = itemType.Name;
    List<string> names = new List<string>();
    foreach (var prop in itemType.GetProperties())
    {
        if (prop.CanRead && prop.GetIndexParameters().Length == 0)
        {
            names.Add(prop.Name);
            Type propType = prop.PropertyType;
            if (propType.IsGenericType && propType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>))
            {
                propType = propType.GetGenericArguments()[0];
            }
            DataColumn column = new DataColumn(prop.Name, propType);
            table.Columns.Add(column);
            if (nameColumnPK != null && nameColumnPK == prop.Name)
                table.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { column };
        }
    }
    names.TrimExcess();

    var accessor = TypeAccessor.Create(itemType);
    object[] values = new object[names.Count];
    foreach (var row in source)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
        {
           values[i] = accessor[row, names[i]];
        }
        table.Rows.Add(values);
    }

    return table;
}

e crie esta extensão:
public static DataTable ConvertToDatatable<T>(this IList source, Expression<Func<T, object>>  columnPK)
{
    String member = ((columnPK.Body as UnaryExpression).Operand as System.Linq.Expressions.MemberExpression).Member.Name;
    return ConvertToDatatable(source, member);
}

e então é só fazer isto no seu programa
 listaTeste = new List<Teste>();
 listaTeste.Add(new Teste() { Id = 1, Nome = "Maria", Cidade = "São Paulo" });
 listaTeste.Add(new Teste() { Id = 2, Nome = "Luiza", Cidade = "Curitiba" });
 listaTeste.Add(new Teste() { Id = 3, Nome = "Ana", Cidade = "Porto Alegre" });

 dataGridView1.DataSource = listaTeste.ConvertToDatatable<Teste>(t => t.id);

//o `sort` vai funcionar normalmente, para Id, Nome e Cidade

A: Gostaria de compartilhar a solução que achei: Segue exemplo.
No ColumnHeaderMouseClick coloquei um select na lista usando um campo criado no modelo apenas para consulta, neste select alimento o campo "consulta" com a informação do campo que quero ordenar e logo em seguida ordeno pelo campo consulta.
Achei que seria útil compartilhar, segue Exemplo:

    public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    IList<Teste> listaTeste;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        listaTeste = new List<Teste>();
        listaTeste.Add(new Teste() { Id = 1, Nome = "Maria", Cidade = "São Paulo" });
        listaTeste.Add(new Teste() { Id = 2, Nome = "Luiza", Cidade = "Curitiba" });
        listaTeste.Add(new Teste() { Id = 3, Nome = "Ana", Cidade = "Porto Alegre" });

        var lista = listaTeste.Select(s => new { Id = s.Id, Nome = s.Nome, Cidade = s.Cidade, Consulta = s.GetType().GetProperty("Nome").GetValue(s) }).OrderBy(x => x.Consulta).ToList();

        dataGridView1.DataSource = lista ;

    }

    private void dataGridView1_ColumnHeaderMouseClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
    {

        var lista = listaTeste.Select(s => { s.Consulta = s.GetType().GetProperty(dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name).GetValue(s); return s; }).OrderBy(x => x.Consulta).ToList();

        dataGridView1.DataSource = lista;

    }
}

public class Teste
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public String Nome { get; set; }
    public String Cidade { get; set; }
    public Object Consulta { get; set; }
}

Upgraded your EHR? Completed the transition to ICD-10? Revenue cycle running smoothly? If so, you're ahead of many practices by leaps and bounds. But just because you've achieved your systems goals doesn't mean it's time put your practice on autopilot.
ECPs continue to face financial pressures—eight glaucoma and retina procedures suffered double-digit percentage Medicare payment cuts in 2016.To stay competitive and grow, physician owners must continually look for smart ways to lower the cost of being profitable. Managing multiple equipment leases or loans is an often overlooked cause of lost time and money—could consolidation be the answer?
Often, the practices struggling to keep up with multiple payments are those that that can least afford to do so. "Decisions between leasing and buying often come down to cash flow, with higher-profit practices typically buying equipment and lower-profit ones financing or leasing," practice management expert John Pinto noted in the July issue of Ophthalmology Management.
It's not uncommon to find practices shuffling 7-10 or more equipment leases. By consolidating, you can replace multiple payments with one monthly payment. This means saving on interest, administrative time, and even eliminating late fees for payments that get lost in the monthly shuffle. Additionally, you may be able to change the timeline for paying off the loans, thereby improving cash flow.
Lenders often use these terms interchangeably, but refinancing and consolidation aren't the same thing. When refinancing, a borrower pays off an existing, higher interest rate loan with a new, lower interest rate loan. Consolidation refers specifically to the process of refinancing multiple loans into one new loan. You may not always get a better interest rate by consolidating, but the interest rate isn't the only thing that matters—you may be able to save in other ways.
Just because you can qualify for debt consolidation doesn't mean it's the best option for your practice. Run the numbers first to make sure your new loan arrangement will actually benefit you.
Step 1: Calculate the total amount you'll be consolidating. Determine the payoff amount for each currently outstanding equipment loan. You can get this information from your lender or the loan amortization schedule, if you have it. The total equals the size of the new loan you'll need.
Tip: Some loan agreements include a prepayment penalty—they're meant to protect the lender against the interest lost when a borrower pays off a loan early. These penalties can be significant and could make debt consolidation less attractive, so don't forget to include prepays as you calculate your payoff amounts.
Step 2: Calculate the effective interest rate. Knowing this number will give you a clearer picture of any financial product's true cost, and could prevent you from making a potentially expensive mistake. Stated interest rates that look equal on paper (called nominal interest rates) can actually be quite different due to varying loan terms, amortization schedules, compounding interest, and other factors. This calculation can be complicated, so consider using a reputable online calculator.
Step 3: Compare apples to apples. Compare the combined total cost of your existing loans to that of any potential new loan. Add up the total amount you'll pay in interest over the life of each of your current loans, according to the original payment schedules. Remember, differences in your loan terms can significantly impact the total cost of your loan. Do you have an operating lease where you'll have to pay fair market value for the equipment at the end of the lease term? Or will you have to pay thousands of dollars in shipping costs to return it to the vendor?
Eyes Open: There may be situations where your total cost of borrowing through consolidation is actually higher, but it's still the right decision to move your practice forward. If you are struggling financially, consolidating could help you attain more manageable payments and improve your immediate cash flow—that may be worth the extra cost.

THE MADHYA Pradesh Diploma Engineers Association would observe a one-day statewide token strike on October 11 to press the State Government to concede to their demands.
The association's State president Rajendra Singh Bhadoria said in a statement that their demands included payment of executive engineer's pay scale (10,000-15,200) to diploma engineers on their completing 24 years in service, merging of 50 per cent DA with their basic salary, payment of their DA arrears, and appointment of their wards on compassionate ground.
give them the said pay scale but nothing had moved so far in this direction, he added.
He said the sub-engineers of various technical departments would stage demonstrations at their respective district headquarters besides observing strike on October 11. They would later submit a memorandum to the Collectors or Commissioner.
Rajput, Kapil Tyagi, R P Vishwakarma and S R Shrivastava have through a statement made an appeal to diploma engineers to take part in the agitation.


Ugh! why the hell do they advertise the sendup so much when they don't stick to their plans themself! I skipped my camping for this stupid surgery sendup to prepare for this and ofcourse to appear in the sendup being held on 30th of december 2009 in the railway hospital campus of islamic international medical college, but on 26th, this dude, Iqbal khan, professor of surgery, cancelled the sendup! I feel like going to him and yelling at him that now you should take it! this is .. .
Anyway! i was bit happy that now my surgery will be prepared till 30th of this month, but alas! now i will be studying right at the time of prof! hmm… i think i should join the camp from tomorrow. . lets see..
Nice to know that Dr. Iqbal is still there.

So do you remember a little while ago when I was invited to the launch party for this beautiful new home called The Regency? This recently completed, three-level mansion is one of the latest spec homes designed and built by and they decided to celebrate by throwing a decadent launch for more than 120 guests. I wore shoes that hurt and tried not to stand too close to the bevy of Lisa Ho models that made me look like Gollum.
I was stoked that Modaokon was the first media invited to see this gorgeous home, and I had a lovely time doing a walkthrough with general manager David Hochwald-Jones the other week. If you've been reading Modaokon for a while you'll know that I personally tend to gravitate towards older homes. I like places that feel lived-in and warm, but I do fall in love with special new homes and this one was really lovely.
This place is with one of my favourite real estate agents, . (I know, it's bad but after meeting hundreds of Perth real estate agents over the years I do confess to having favourites).
