`Gang Peace' Meets Youths Where They Are
Roxbury-based group aims to help gang members find a way out of violence and to give other young people alternatives to drugs and gang culture
By Faye Bowers Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
RODNEY DAILEY spoke abruptly on the phone, as young men scurried through his office. The gang interventionist was trying to settle a dispute between two youths without someone having to die - over a gold chain.
"A kid got his chain taken away at gunpoint," he explains. "He went to the police - like any rational citizen would do, right? The police arrested the kid who took the chain. Now, two or three of his friends are threatening to kill the kid who told the police. I'm trying to settle this without them having to blow each other away."
Mr. Dailey runs a program called Gang Peace in the Roxbury section of Boston, an area that has seen a wave of gang-related murders. It offers alternatives such as education, training, and jobs to young people as well as crisis intervention.
"These kids need different strategies, problem-solving techniques rather than solving problems through violence as they've been taught," says Dailey.
Dailey is also concerned about the environment the community provides for young people. "The subculture in the community breeds delinquent youth. If what you see is trash, drug dealing, prostitution - then that is what you become," he says.
The building Gang Peace occupies was a former crack house on a corner known for drug dealing and prostitution. The drug dealers and prostitutes have been pushed out with the help of the police. Gang Peace activists also cleaned up an adjacent vacant lot and installed a playground for toddlers. They cleaned up another lot across the street, which the city made available, and painted a large mural on a stage to serve as a backdrop for the Concert on the Corner series they intend to hold weekly this summer.
The Gang Peace program, which started in 1989, has five full-time staff, 1,000 volunteers, and 2,000 members.
Sudara Herndon is a 17-year-old member of Gang Peace and has been with the Heath Street gang since age 13, when she started selling crack. She says she joined the gang for protection because she had been shot at, stabbed, and arrested.
Sudara says that Dailey talked to her when she was selling drugs on the corner. He found Sudara a job last summer and she's been a member of Gang Peace since. She says she is trying to leave the Heath Street gang, because "there's three ways to end up: jail, dead, or using the drugs," but adds that it's not that easy.
The gang doesn't want you to leave because "you are family; they figure you either rat or trade on them," says Sudara. "But gangs won't mess with Rodney [Dailey]. They respect him. Like we say in gangs, if you get respect, you give respect, and Rodney gives us respect. And I feel a lot safer knowing that Rodney is helping me."
Dailey understands what these kids have been through. He was a gang member during his adolescence, involved with both drugs and guns. He says, "I hit rock bottom 11 1/2 years ago and entered F.I.R.S.T., a drug treatment program, and got clean from drugs." He then attended Roxbury Community College and graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1990. "I tell kids that you don't have to go through what I went through, but you can learn from it."
"Since I drugged and tore up this community, I wanted to give something back," he says. After completing drug treatment, he began working for the program, and later founded Gang Peace. He paid for the rent himself on the storefront in the building they now occupy. The program has thrived.
Last summer Dailey located 80 jobs for kids, and this summer will provide at least that many. They have about 40 youths working now who have stopped selling drugs he says.
He says that gangs survive because "these kids are addicted to cash. They want money and there's not a lot of jobs available. They turn to selling drugs, and violence helps rule the drug game. You've got to have more strength, more firepower or other groups will take what you have. New gangs have to make a rep [reputation] for themselves, so what do they do? They kill somebody or beat up others over turf," says Dailey.
"Their customers are parents, adults, people dressed up like you," he says. "Kids are smart. They learn from them [that there is a double standard], and they don't respect these people."
Nor do they respect the police. "Kids feel like this: Police can do anything they want with me," he says. "Police come in here when there's a problem; smack kids around - they can always tell them they're resisting arrest."
Dailey believes that community policing may be part of the solution. He says the police "patrol" this area while they "protect" people in other areas, but says he is working with the police to improve understanding. "It's a problem that is everyone's," he says. "There is a way this can be resolved; let's see if we can do it together."
Capt. Pervis Ryans, commander of District B which covers Roxbury, Mattapan, and parts of Dorchester in Boston, says, "A small percent of our youth are in gangs, which normally revolve around drugs. We are partly successful in dealing with some of the violence related to gangs. We can manage gang violence, but we can't get rid of the drug problem. It's too big for us."
The critical group police deal with is ages 12 to 20. Captain Ryans says that over the past 10 years he has seen a proliferation of drugs and guns, which have caused much more violence. These young offenders operate within their own community, he says, and there often is no remorse. "You go to someone's home to arrest him for shooting somebody, and you'll find him sleeping in bed like a baby - like nothing has happened," he says.
Ryans is also an advocate for neighborhood policing. He says, "We need to do a lot more of it. It's hard to free our officers up from responding to 911 calls, but it works well when it can be done. It provides a perception of safety."
He is participating in a citywide task force with the community to develop a plan of action. He says, "At some point in time, we will have a form of neighborhood policing in the city of Boston."

Q: How is this nested Groovy statement interpreted in terms of the arguments of `timeout()`? What syntax/construct is used in the following Groovy code? It seems like two statements nested inside each other.
What are the arguments of the timeout() function in the following code? It is a function or a reserved word?
Is the input(...) statement a Groovy "Closure"? Is it a third argument of the function timeout?
    timeout(time: 5, unit: 'MINUTES') {
        input(message: 'Please approve')
    }

A: the following timeout and input definitions will work in plain groovy:
def input(Map params){
    println "input $params"
}

def timeout(Map params, Closure c){
    println "timeout $params"
    c.call()
    println "timeout after"
}

timeout(time: 5, unit: 'MINUTES') {
    input(message: 'Please approve')
}

output:
timeout [time:5, unit:MINUTES]
input [message:Please approve]
timeout after

Vasile Lucaciu, korabeli magyar forrásokban Lukács László (Apa, 1852. január 21. – Szatmárnémeti, 1922. november 29.) román görögkatolikus pap, politikus, a Román Nemzeti Párt titkára, az 1892. évi román memorandum egyik kezdeményezője és aláírója, az erdélyi kormányzótanács tagja. A román forrásokban a "lacfalui oroszlán" (leul de la Şişeşti) állandó jelzővel szerepel.

Élete
A gimnáziumi osztályokat Nagybányán, Ungváron, Szatmárnémetiben és Nagyváradon végezte. 1870–1874 között Rómában folytatott teológiai tanulmányokat, és doktori címet szerzett.

1875-től 1878-ig Érszentkirályon volt pap, utána hittant és román nyelvet tanított a szatmárnémeti gimnáziumban. 1885-től 1912-ig Lacfaluban volt pap. Itt 1890-re nagyszabású kőtemplomot építtetett a római Szent Péter-bazilika mintájára, 1905-re iskolát alapított.

Az erdélyi románok jogainak érvényesítéséért harcolva 1887-ben bekerült a Román Nemzeti Párt vezetőségébe, 1892-ben pedig főtitkára lett. 1892-ben egyike volt a Ferenc József császárhoz intézett memorandum kezdeményezőinek és aláíróinak, ezért püspöke felfüggesztette papi tisztségéből. A memorandum aláírói ellen indított perben 1894 májusában öt év államfogházra ítélték. Ebből egy évet töltött le Szegeden, utána az uralkodó kegyelemben részesítette. 1898-ban Szinérváralján részt vett az ASTRA helyi fiókjának alakuló ülésén. 1907 és 1912 között országgyűlési képviselő volt. 1912-ben ő szervezte azt a gyulafehérvári népgyűlést, amely tiltakozott a hajdúdorogi egyházmegye létrehozása ellen, mert szerinte ez az északnyugat-erdélyi románok elmagyarosítását célozta.

1914-ben Romániába ment, ahol népgyűléseken és cikkekben kampányt folytatott Románia hadbalépése érdekében, amitől az ország egyesítését remélte. 1915-ben megválasztották a Liga az összes román politikai egységéért (Liga pentru unitatea politică a tuturor românilor) elnökévé. 1917-ben a román kormány megbízásából az Amerikai Egyesült Államokba, Franciaországba, Olaszországba és Svájcba utazott, hogy az ottani kormánnyal és közvéleménnyel ismertesse az erdélyi románok követeléseit. Az Egyesült Államokba egy katonai küldöttség tagjaként utazott, amelynek az volt a megbízatása, hogy rábírja az amerikai hatóságokat egy román önkéntesekből álló katonai egység szervezésére, amely a francia fronton harcolt volna. 1918-ban az erdélyi kormányzótanács tagja lett. 1919-től a román parlamentben volt képviselő. Románia és a Vatikán első államközi szerződésének (konkordátumának) előkészítése során a román fél követeléseit Vasile Lucaciu állította össze; a javaslat többek között az erdélyi egyházmegyék számának csökkentését és a bukaresti érsek alá rendelését tartalmazta.

Az 1922-es parlamenti választáson nem sikerült mandátumot szereznie, ekkor visszavonult a politikai életből. Utolsó éveit szegénységben, elfeledetten töltötte Szatmárnémetiben.

Művei
 Pietatea. Szatmárnémeti. 1882,
 Instituţiuni filosofice I–III. Szatmárnémeti. 1881–1884.
 Számos cikke és beszéde jelent meg az erdélyi román illetve regáti lapokban (Gazeta Transilvaniei, Tribuna, Foaia Poporului, Revista Orăştiei, Lupta).

Emlékezete

1936-ban Szatmárnémetiben szobrot emeltek tiszteletére. Lacfaluban a parókia és iskola épületegyüttesét 1968-ban Vasile Lucaciu Emlékház néven múzeummá alakították ki. Apán, Nagykárolyban, Szatmárnémetiben és Nagybányán iskola viseli a nevét.

We utilize the topological-geometrical structure imposed by the Heterotic superstring theory on spacetime in conjunction with the K3 Kähler manifold to explain the mysterious nature of dark matter and its coupling to the pure dark energy density of the cosmos. The analogous situations in the case of a Kerr black hole as well as the redundant components of the Riemannian tensor are pointed out and the final result was found to be in complete agreement with all previous theoretical ones as well as all recent accurate measurements and cosmic observations. We conclude by commenting briefly on the Cantorian model of Zitterbewegung and the connection between Olbers's paradox and dark energy.

Since we believe that understanding the frame of mind of the author of a paper is very beneficial to understanding the paper itself, we decided to start with two general remarks which are not specifically related to the paper being of a very general nature but never the less the author had an almost compelling feeling to get these scientific remarks off his chest right from the start.
The first remark is that without scepticism no scientific progress is possible. That is because it would not be possible to challenge old, established and believed theories. The present author, being a follower of a host of sceptical philosophers, starting from the great David Hume understands this very well. On the other hand absolute scepticism must ultimately lead to a paralysis of all innovations and discoveries. In our modest opinion the right scientific attitude of the prospective reader of the present paper is to tread this narrow path between the above mentioned two extremes and give the author the benefit of the doubt.
The second remark maybe deeply related to the first and is essentially linked to the secret of why we think we have succeeded in the present work where so many admittedly much better scientists have not succeeded. Our intrinsically biased answer is the golden mean number system, which is the basis of our computation. To understand this, the following analogy may be rather instructive and insightful, suppose for a moment that European scientists at the beginning of the age enlightenment did not accept Leonardo of Pisa (alias Fibonacci) proposal to take over the Arabic ciphers and particularly their use of the Indian zero. It is not particularly difficult to see that sticking to the Roman numerals and ignoring the role of the zero would have required many centuries more to be able to solve that way integral differential equations. Clearly numbers systems and notations could make all the difference here. It is our contention and deep belief that similar reasoning holds for the use of the gold mean system in high energy physics and quantum cosmology and to liken the progress brought to science by adopting the Arabic numerics and methods of computation to that of using the golden mean system in E-infinity theory is not an exaggeration [55] .
It is not unusual for unexpected, experimental discovery, observation or measurement in physics and cosmology to cause havoc in our long established and time honoured theories and send us into a state of partial minor or major period of perplexity [1] - [22] . When such events happen we tend more often than not to overestimate the difficulties created by this new situation [20-24]. Sensational headlines of popular scientific press and writing may also add to the perceived mysteries and increase the degree of fogginess. On the positive side, and as stressed by A. Whitehead, a major contradiction in science is also a new opportunity for a greater understanding that prompts young and older scientists to rise to the new challenge and question old dogmas and possibly conventionally accepted wrong theories [3] [4] [12] [24] . There is little doubt that the discovery of accelerated cosmic expansion and the missing mass as well as energy, dubbed dark energy of the cosmos [23] [25] - [41] falls into the category of truly major upheavals in physics and cosmology based on accurate measurements and modern observations, some of which earned several Nobel Prizes in physics [25] - [42] .
The present work takes the view that our current mathematical knowledge and general theories [3] [9] [11] [40] are in position to explain ordinary energy, dark matter and pure dark energy both qualitatively and quantitatively [25] - [46] . We are furthermore of the optimistic view that our new understanding of these unexpected measurements and observations have actually helped to reduce the number of mysteries rather than increase them [28] . This is the case particularly when we look upon the expansive antigravity force causing accelerated expansion as the global form of the local attractive Casimir effect as it accumulates at the boundary of the universe [35] . Similarly dark energy turned out to be the kinetic energy of the supposedly energyless quantum probability wave while ordinary energy is basically the potential energy of the quantum particle [26] [30] . Nothing could be more assuring for this conclusion than the fact that adding this kinetic wave energy to this potential particle energy one finds a total potential energy which is identical to maximal energy equation of Einstein's special relativity with a new interpretative twist for being not only the recipe of converting matter into energy but also as being the maximal energy density of the universe [26] [27] .
In what follows we give several simple computations attesting to the above and will combine Einstein's geometry [22] [24] [27] with the field theoretical structure and topology of Heterotic string theory [19] [45] [47] [48] to show how the special relativistic could be decomposed into three different quantum components, namely that of ordinary energy density , dark matter energy density and pure dark energy density . Here is a small coupling constant estimated at approximately which cancels out for the total maximal energy [32] . It is needless to say that the 22 in the preceding equation may be interpreted in various intimately connected ways. It could be seen first as simply the 26 maximal dimensions of the heterotic string theory [49] minus Einstein's four spacetime dimensions implicit in his [42] [51] . Second, and deep down equivalently, the 22 could be seen as a measure of the ruggedness, i.e. fractal non- smoothness of a K3 Kähler manifold as compared with Einstein's spacetime for which the corresponding number is unity [53] [54] . Note also that the three energy components amount to a density of approximately 4 percent, 22 percent and 74 percent respectively in outstanding agreement with the overwhelming modern cosmic measurements [18] [25] - [32] . A particularly important feature of the present analysis is the near perfect similarity of the end result with that based on the geometry and topology of a Kerr black hole, which gives our 22 an indirect third interpretation [32] . In addition we point out something similar played by the so called redundant components of the Riemannian tensor [37] [51] . To see all of that in some detail is one of the main the tasks of the following sections where the exact value and derivation of the coupling will also be given [25] - [51] . In addition we have cited the most important background reading on set theory and noncommutative geometry in physics because both are indispensible for a deep understanding of the present paper [52] - [59] . We even went as far as summoning our civil scientific courage to propose that the present theory could be viewed as a transfinite version of the cellular automata's interpretation of quantum mechanics as advocated recently by no one less than Gerard 'tHooft who is one of a handful of architects of modern high energy physics [60] . It is also a Cantorian version of Arend Niehaus' Zitterbewegung model [61] of quantum physics without quantum mechanics as well as a justification of attributing dark energy to Olbers's paradox of the dark night sky [62] .
Very deep down at the roots, the present work is a scientific interrogation of the role played by contradiction between theory, experiments and observations in the development of physics and cosmology [1] - [25] . However the thinking underpinning the methodology of the solution may have started by the author asking himself why L. Hardy's exact solution of quantum entanglement was found using Dirac's bra and ket and leading to the golden mean to the power of five [25] - [30] . Why was it not any other formulation of quantum mechanics? We will answer this question at the end of the present paper in section No. 10.
Starting from Einstein's famous energy equation , interpreted as the maximal energy density in the cosmos [18] [22] [42] , we utilize the mathematical structure and the corresponding physical meaning of the Heterotic superstring theory to understand and quantify ordinary energy, dark matter and pure dark energy density of the cosmos [25] - [48] . In particular it is shown that while measurable ordinary dark energy is connected to the classical ordinary photon and dark matter is essentially due to five degrees of freedom which may be three massive relatives of the classical , namely as well as the Higgs H and the graviton g, we posit that the carriers of pure dark energy are the 16 extra bosons of Heterotic string theory [19] [24] [47] [49] [50] . Recalling that these extra bosons are moving in the opposite direction to the fundamental ten spacetime dimensions of the heterotic superstrings, it comes as no surprise that this feature of the present elucidation is most valuable for understanding the observed puzzling phenomenon of accelerated cosmic expansion which would normally imply a negative kind of gravity [30] [46] [51] . In fact in the counter intuitive higher dimensionality of D = 26 and D = 10, a negative sign of a topological quantity such as the signature will most definitely have a physical consequence such as accelerated expansion due to a repulsive gravity. Summarizing the preceding pint in a single equation we can simply state that may be seen as the sum of three parts. The first part is the ordinary energy , the second part is the dark matter energy density and the third part is the pure dark energy density , where m is the mass, c is the speed of light, is the weak coupling between dark matter and pure dark energy and the devisor 22 is the sum of 1 + 5 + 16 explained earlier on and interpreted as the various degrees of freedom [28] - [38] . We conclude by noting the existence of an almost one to one correspondence between the geometry and topology imposed on spacetime by Heterotic string theory structure and the geometry and topology of a K3 Kähler manifold with its negative signature being equal to Gross' 16 extra dimensions as well as a Kerr black hole which leads to identical three parts dissection of the maximal energy density of the cosmos [32] . Similar conclusions are also obtained via the redundant components of the Riemann tensor as well as Dvoretzky's theorem [36] [39] . We may draw the attention of the reader from the outset to the subtle fact that a most fundamental point in the present work is that we do make a sharp distinction between zero, empty and insubstantial nothingness as done in the seminal work of A. Connes [56] [57] . We said from the outset that we start our analysis with Einstein's . This central point is however far from being trivial. In fact and as stressed for instance by W. Rindler, this equation must be taken as an axiom rather than something that can be derived from first principles [58] . Similarly our use of as the maximal energy density in the universe will be taken in the present work also as an axiom for simplicity as well as clarity [26] [27] . The present work takes these results as far as reasoning that the Zitterbewegung [61] may be seen as a spiralling random Cantor set quantum path with a Hausdorff dimension equal to where is the golden mean as well as uncovering the fractal spacetime connection between dark energy and Olbers's paradox dark sky [62] .
3. Dvoretzky's Theorem as a Bird's Eye View of Dark Energy
One of the most remarkable theorems in higher dimensional geometry asserts that in a manifold of sufficiently high dimensionality, most of the volume is concentrated very near to the surface [36] [39] . This is essentially the quintessence of Dvoretzky's theorem [36] . More precisely for a five dimensional ball such as the Kaluza-Klein theory, 96 percent of the volume is at a narrow layer near to the surface. This leaves only 4 percent for the ordinary space volume [36] . The situation is clearly analogous to that of a zero set quantum particle surrounded by an empty set quantum wave [37] [38] where the volume and consequently the energy of the quantum particle turned out to be while the volume-energy of the quantum wave is where [32] - [42] . Inserting for we find that the "topological" volume of the quantum particle is 4.5% of the total unit volume while that of the quantum wave is 95.5% [37] [38] . This squares perfectly with the mathematics of Dvoretzky's theorem as well as with the physics of dark energy as explained in far more details on previous occasions [27] [36] . Next we will move from this global view to more specific computation as we will also be showing how the approximately 96% dark energy is subdivided into 22% dark matter and 74% pure dark energy [29] - [44] . It is also extremely important in the present context to stress again and draw attention to the remarkable almost perfect similarity between the three part dissection of energy in the present analysis using the heterotic superstring theory and its K3 Kähler manifold [53] [54] and the same result obtained via the geometry and topology of a Kerr black hole [32] . This similarity seems to suggest that the geometry and topology imposed on spacetime via the 16 extra bosonic dimensions of Heterotic string theory may have deep relations to the geometry and topology of a spinning Kerr black hole and the signature of our K3 Kähler manifold [32] [53] [54] which seems to warrant separate careful further investigation.
4. Ordinary Energy and Dark Energy Density from the Independent and the Redundant Components of the Riemannian Tensor and the Heterotic String Theory
It is well known that the number of components of the driving force behind Einstein's general relativity, i.e. the Riemannian tensor in four dimensions is given by [22] [52]
However the linearly independent components are only 20 given by [24] [25]
Pondering this situation one has to consider the possibility that the 256 are not redundant but may play the role of the empty set quantum wave and could be the carrier of dark energy in a non-trivial way [26] [33] - [40] . This initial vague thought can be made more physical and precise when linked to the Heterotic string theory of Gross and his team [19] . Let us recall that each extra bosonic string of the 16 extra bosons has 16 bosonic fields. The total is consequently
mirroring the total number of Riemannian components in four dimensions [19] [24] . In addition we have here the two fundamental deceptively trivial equations of Heterotic strings which combine the dimensionality of the Veneziano-Nambu strong interaction bosonic strings model D = 26 with the Green-Schwarz type II superstrings with D = 10, namely [19] [49]
where is Einstein's spacetime dimensionality [26] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] . In the above we have tacitly assumed the reader to be familiar with the toroidal compactification of the 16 D. Gross extra bosonic dimensions [19] [47] as well as the Calabi-Yau compactification of the 6 dimensions in the D = 10 superstring theory [19] [50] . Putting all that together it becomes obvious that the total number of particle-like objects involved is 256 minus the 6 compactified dimensions, i.e. 250 [51] . Now it is elementary guesswork to see that the density, which is nearest to our notion of ordinary energy, must be given by [29] - [42]
This is trivially similar to dividing the photon by the 1 + 5 + 16 = 22 bosonic degrees of freedom left from the maximal 26 after subtracting D = 4 of Einstein. In other words, we eliminated the compactified "things" from their corresponding total and determined the relevant ratio which turns out to reinforce the picture afforded by Dvoretzky's theorem [36] and the zero set quantum particle inside the empty set quantum wave as discussed in detail in previous publications [37] . To determine the dark energy density from the above is of course equally trivial and is found from the following self explanatory equation to be [29] - [42]
as expected. We admit however that the preceding reasoning may be too delicate to go by it alone without a clear-cut argument and we promise to do just that in the coming sections. However before doing so we just like to look first at the problem of subdividing into pure dark energy and dark matter. To arrive at pure dark energy density we have to extract from the of the Kaluza-Klein topological two branes states in eleven dimensions which may be found from Witten's model to be 55 [25] . This is thus so that the pure dark energy density becomes [29] - [42]
Consequently we have for dark matter the experimentally and theoretically by now well established value [25] - [42]
From the above we see clearly that when it comes to dark energy, the redundant components of the Riemannian tensor, which we traditionally eliminate via symmetry considerations, are not so redundant [58] [59] .
5. The Three Types of Energy Densities of the Cosmos from a Normed Dimensionality for the Universe
The following calculation which may be called natural and miraculous in the same breath is based upon what we think is the most fundamental renormalization-like equation involving all the fundamental coupling constants in a single unification form [43] [44] . This equation is actually the exact reconstruction equation of the famous inverse Sommerfeld fine structure constant of electromagnetism where and is Hardy's exact value of quantum entanglement [28] . This remarkable equation reads [43] [44]
where , , , and [43] . The above values are exact theoretical values. They are very close to the value found for the electroweak scale as far , and as are concerned. However of the strong interaction and of the Planck mass are found from theoretical considerations [45] - [49] . Setting the corresponding value in this equation, one finds as expected so that the relation between the E8E8 exceptional Lie symmetry group [19] and is found to be a golden mean scaling, namely [29] [43]
where is 'tHooft's renormalon [25] [42] . Here is the famous Hardy quantum entanglement probability and k is 'tHooft's hypothetical renormalon particle [25] . Now we are in a position to state that the corresponding space dimension is the following normed value representing the sum of all involved inverse coupling constants. This means [26] [43]
Looking back on the preceding calculation and looking in the same way forwards to find the subdivision of D(normed) = 100 with respect to the three fundamental components of energy density, we may draw on the largest bosonic dimension of heterotic string theory, namely D = 26 and think of it as made of the 4 relatively "visible" dimensions of Einstein's spacetime plus 22 not so "visible" dimensions and claim that the following partitioning seems rather logical to put it modestly [26] [40]
It is also logical to look upon the 74 dimensions as least "visible" compared to the "visible" 4 of Einstein or the slightly less visible 22 compactified dimensions of Nambu [14] . It is remarkable but no coincident that 4, 22 and 74 corresponds to the 4% ordinary energy density, 22% corresponds to dark matter energy density and 74% is the pure dark energy density [25] - [40] . One thing the author learned from Nobel Laureate Gerardus 'tHooft is that one should not invoke or believe in miracles in science and should distrust miraculous things [11] . That is surely correct but we note parenthetically that the present miracle only appears as a miracle, however taking all the empirical facts and all previous theoretical analysis into account, this miracle reveals itself as a natural one, namely that of maximal simplicity. It is bordering on a miracle but it is a scientific one based almost exclusively on the fact that the golden mean number system constitutes basically a transfinite Turing machine, i.e. a golden mean super computer as explained elsewhere in greater detail [40] [46] [48] . In this sense we can go on much further than that and claim that the present theory is basically a transfinite cellular automata interpretation of quantum mechanics, a subject about which G. 'tHooft has written many influential papers [60] .
6. Energy as Eigenvalue and the Standard Model 12 Bosons
The great A. Einstein did not derive from a Lagrangian [22] . In addition he never accepted quantum mechanics and naturally never thought about energy as the eigenvalue of a quantum mechanical equation as P. Dirac did for instance [11] [22] . On the other hand we already stated that is for us here far more than an equation for converting mass into energy but rather much more general than that, namely as the maximal energy density possible in nature. Now this is not fancy technicalities and has serious consequences for the following reasons [1] .
Suppose Einstein had written a Lagrangian to derive . This Lagrangian would have had a single degree of freedom, namely the photon [29] which was the only messenger particle known at the time when Einstein conceived his special theory of relativity [22] [26] [29] . Meantime we know that there is not only one messenger particle but also eleven more photon-like messenger particles included in the standard model [22] . In other words, Einstein's hypothetical Lagrangian is constraining the system far more than it is in reality. Such constraint results in over estimation of any Eigenvalue, i.e. in this case the energy as per a well known theorem due to Lord Rayleigh [22] . Rather than writing a Lagrangian with 12 degrees of freedom to improve on Einstein's result, we use here a scaling manoeuvre. Considering the elementary fact that the difference between Newton's kinetic energy and Einstein's energy is basically that which is a very large constant leading to a scaling factor of being replaced by unity , we conjecture that a similarity exponent based on the degrees of freedom not included in Einstein's hypothetical Lagrangian can be used to down scale E as follows [29] [42] :
This is almost the same result found from painstaking cosmic measurements [18] and in agreement with all our previous analysis of the ordinary dark energy presented in the preceding sections as well as previous publications using a plethora of different methods based on physical as well as mathematical arguments [25] - [42] . In the next section we will see how the preceding formula can be generalized for pure dark energy as well as the dark matter density of the cosmos [32] .
7. From the Sixteen Extra Heterotic Strings to Pure Dark Energy and Dark Matter Density
Let us look closely at the last equation. The important number there is 22 which, as mentioned repeatedly before, may be seen as the dimensions left after subtracting the needed four spacetime dimensions of Einstein from the maximal dimensions D = 26 of heterotic string theory [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] . Now the only massless photon may be seen as the carrier of the measurable ordinary energy with a density equal to one divided by twenty two [25] - [49] . This is a forceful self evident picture both physically and numerically [25] - [49] . In this sense we may regard the 22 left bosonic strings as being the sum of one ordinary photon given by U(1) Lie symmetry group plus five more bosons, namely the three massive photon-like messenger particles given by the generators of SU(2) as well as one Higgs spin zero boson H to give and their mass in addition to one graviton g to mediate gravity [22] . Added together this gives us five degrees of freedom reminiscent of the five Kaluza-Klein dimensions in some ways. Finally, and most importantly, we have the 16 D. Gross extra bosonic dimensions, which has a different sign to the 26 of Nambu [14] and the 10 of Green-Schwarz strings, namely [19]
The total number of bosonic degrees of freedom is thus 1 + 5 + 16 = 22 as should be. There is here an extremely subtle twist because unlike the original theory of Gross, where it turns out that the corresponding extra sixteen boson dimensions have all what it takes to cover the need for the gluon and the electroweak which we account for in the present work via SU(2), i.e. [22] but we do not include in the present theory SU(3) of the standard model explicitly [22] . Thus in our version of heterotic strings the number of bosons becomes 1 + (3 + 2) + 16 = 22 bosons irrespective of the negative sign of the corresponding 16 extra dimensions [45] - [49] . The negative sign is needed only to account for the repulsive energy simulating anti-gravity, i.e. pure dark energy via the 16 extra dimensions as we repeatedly mentioned above [45] - [49] . We also stress once more before it slips our minds that the maximal 26 dimensions is simply the sum of the preceding 22 plus the four Einstein spacetime dimensions. Putting all these pieces together we see that Einstein's can be rewritten as follows [32] :
That way we have a very good approximation for:
(a) Ordinary measurable energy [25] - [48]
(b) Dark matter not directly observed energy density [32]
(c) Pure dark energy density which cannot be measured by any of the presently available technology but can be inferred from the observed accelerated cosmic expansion [32]
We note on passing that the same result is obtained from Witten's five Branes in eleven dimensions using the self explanatory quotients [25] [26] . A considerable improvement on the above solution may be obtained when taking the physically obvious weak coupling between pure dark energy and dark matter because both are dark and essentially obtained via the topological volume of the quantum wave empty set [49] . This coupling, which cancels out in the final total sum, is given approximately by the ratio of the extra heterotic strings, i.e. 16 to the total normed dimensions, i.e. 100 and will be denoted by . Proceeding in this manner one finds that E(O) remains the same but we have [32]
while for pure dark energy the density becomes [32]
The preceding result may be made exact by including all transfinite corrections. That means since 26 is replaced by [24] [26] [41] [48] we have replaced 22 with and 16 is replaced with where is 'tHooft's renormalon [25] given by twice the value of Hardy's quantum probability of entanglement or equivalently by where is the golden mean and is the Hausdorff dimension of the cobordism of the empty set or equivalently the inverse value of the Hausdorff dimension of the core of Cantorian spacetime , i.e. [25] - [48] . Proceeding that way we find the exact value of the ordinary energy density [25] - [48]
To find the corresponding E(PD) exact transfinite value we have to replace by the exact value, namely and find that [40]
Finally the exact energy density of dark matter energy is found to be [42]
To see the symphonic number theoretical harmony implicit and explicit in the above calculation, it is sufficient to do the following computation with E8E8 on a pocket calculator and see that is exactly equal . It is also delightful to see how the closed form E(D) and closed form E(O) add together to give the exact density of Einstein's namely [41] [42]
In conclusion of this section we may recall that is the multiplicative correlated volume of a five dimensional zero set which models the quantum particle in a Kaluza-Klein space D = 5 [37] . By contrast is the additive non-corre- lated five dimensional empty set which models the quantum wave in the same D = 5 space [37] - [42] . Since non-correlation and quantum wave behaviour precludes ordinary measurement due to quantum wave collapse, dark energy and dark matter cannot be measured directly unless we can construct quantum waves nondemolition measurement devices as pointed out in various previous publications [25] - [48] . Some readers may find that the very close similarity between the geometry and topology imposed on spacetime by the heterotic 16 extra bosonic dimensions and the geometry and topology of a Kerr black hole with its three energy space regions as well as the K3 Kähler signature being also to be a highly instructive subject that warrants separate careful further investigation as we pointed out earlier on [24] - [48] .
8. The Importance of Being Vague and the Various Interpretations of (22) and (−16) in the Analysis of the Dark Section of the Cosmos
Oliver Cromwell used to say a few good men are better than numbers, however in science numbers and number systems are crucial [55] . In the present analysis it is not possible to cover up this fact and pretend that the vital D = 4 of Einstein, D = 26 of Nambu and of Gross are incidental whether they are regarded as number mystics or number theory. The fact is that without and as well as Kaluza-Klein we could not have any of the preceding theories. However equally crucial is the importance of being fuzzy or vague in dealing with these numbers and regarding them as being topological dimensions or the number of fundamental bosons or computational indices relevant to the homology of certain manifold as we will argue in the present pre-final section. The present section may as well be termed in praise of being vague. Let us regress and recall the vital topological details of a K3 Kähler manifold [53] [54] . As is well known and discussed previously in many publications, a K3 Kähler is accurately described by [53] [54] :
a. The Betti numbers
b. The Hodge numbers
c. The Euler characteristic is
d. The signature is
e. In the case of E-infinity fuzzy K3 Kähler manifold and using the technique of transfinite correction motivated by earlier work by American mathematician F. John, we conclude that
and and consequently 22 goes to where , is the fundamental hypothetical particle named rightly after 'tHooft's dimensional renormalization method, 'tHooft renormalon. Remembering that for the Betti numbers for crisp compact 7 manifolds with holonomy, there are 252 different sets of Betti numbers, we see that fuzziness comes naturally to K3 Kähler and it therefore fits perfectly in noncommutative geometry as well as E-infinity theory and the present wok [53] [54] .
From the preceding delicate arguments and subtle connections we conjecture that the extra 16 dimensions of D. Gross insight may be equated to the signature of K3 Kähler while the compactified 22 dimensions of the bosonic sector of the heterotic strings may be seen in a fuzzy light as being the ruggedness-fractal index of a K3 Kähler. Recalling that for Einstein's smooth manifold we have we may write the following conclusion which is in full harmony with the entire present analysis [53] [54]
for ordinary energy density. Then we have for dark matter energy density [53] [54]
Last but not least, we have
for pure dark energy with its anti-gravity-like effect. This, together with all the identical previous analysis and conclusions, wraps up our subject nicely [53] [54] . In conclusion of this section it may be in order to combine pure mathematics with intuitive physical understanding of why the signature of our K3 Kähler plays an almost identical role to that of D. Gross 16 extra bosonic dimensions. To explain the point we start by noting that it was the renowned French mathematician Rene Thom who showed that the signature of a manifold is a cobordism invariant. Consequently we could think of it as the outer surface of the quantum wave which in turn is the out surface of the quantum particle [37] . Thus it must be the purely one sided Mobius-like expansive border. In a simplistic terminology we have several concentric circular regions. The most inner one is where we have the ordinary energy residing and amounting to the one divided by 22 factors . Around this there is the five Kaluza-Klein region leading to the factor of dark matter energy density. Finally the border of the region is the 16 objects region leading to the factor of pure dark energy density of the cosmos. Since there is nothing after that, it follows that there is no counter topological pressure there to balance the and consequently we have an implied negative sign as manifests in the signature of K3 Kähler and it is our present conjecture that this is the rationale behind the observed accelerated cosmic expansion of our universe [33] - [40] .
9. General Conclusions
Einstein's iconic equation is interpreted in the present work as the maximal energy density possible obtainable from a corresponding hypothetical maximally restricted one degree of freedom Lagrangian where the classical photon is mathematically and physically the said only degree of freedom in a four dimensional spacetime [29] . On the other hand pondering the U(1) SU(2) SU(3) standard model [11] [22] [23] [24] and adding the new insight gained from the Higgs physics, quantum gravity and in particular the remarkable heterotic superstring theory with its 16 extra bosonic strings, we are lead to a triadic dissection of , namely an ordinary energy density, a dark matter energy density and a pure dark energy density. In particular it is shown that the pure dark energy density is carried by the extra 16 bosonic dimensions of the heterotic strings discovered by D. Gross and his team. Thus starting from the heterotic D = 26 and substituting the Einstein spacetime stage dimensions D = 4, we subdivide the remaining corresponding to the three spacetime regions of a Kerr black hole geometry [32] . The first part is connected to the classical photon and leads to the measurable ordinary energy density with the quasi Lorentzian factor replacing Einstein's maximal Lorentzian-like factor . The second and third groups by contrast are weakly coupled. Thus from we see that the second five elements group leads to the dark matter energy density where while the third sixteen elements group leads to the pure dark energy density . Recalling that the sum E(DM) + E(PD) gives the energy density of the quantum wave [37] [38] it becomes clear that without using wave nondemolition measurement devices the dark sector could not be directly quantified experimentally. Furthermore it is clear that because pure dark energy density is directly related to the extra 16 bosonic strings of the heterotic string theory which has a repulsive rather than attractive "gravity" effect this pure dark energy can explain accelerated cosmic expansion in a quite satisfactory way [18] [25] [30] . Equally interesting, if not even more so, is the almost identical role which Gross' 16 extra dimensions and the signature of our K3 Kähler manifold plays with respect to pure dark energy. It was R. Thom who showed that the signature is a cobordism invariant and thus we can think of it as the outer part of the quantum wave and consequently as a negative anti-gravity-like force. The reader of this paper must have surely discovered the profound role that higher spacetime dimensionality plays for the present work. It all started with T. Kaluza's five dimensions [41] [52] which we used here extensively as in the of ordinary energy density and of the dark energy density. Besides being an outstanding mathematics professor, T. Kaluza senior was a great many other things including having good knowledge of many languages besides his German mother tongue. Remarkably it is said that Arabic was his favourite foreign language or at least that is what his son who was the author's maths teacher told him in Germany on a memorable occasion recounted in the following reference [52] . It is relatively easy from this discussion to show that Zitterbewegung is the result of a fractal random Cantor set quantum path with a Hausdorff dimension equal to a classical path D = 1 plus a fractal noise , i.e. leading us to a quantum physics without quantum mechanics [61] . This conclusion leads us to the deep realization that fractal spacetime is the reason for dark energy and Arend Olbers's dark sky paradox [62] .
10. Epilogue
Having basically obtained the present results in dozens of different methods and theories, it is surely sensible to ask what the thread is relating all of them or what the trouble is with basic physics that such a simple problem becomes a huge mystery as is the case for quantum entanglement and dark energy. The present author is convinced that the muddle is basically connected not with physics but with scientific philosophy and pure mathematics, especially transfinite set theory which makes a definite distinction between zero, empty and insubstantial nothingness as was done for instance in the work of A. Connes in his noncommutative geometry [56] and as used extensively in nonlinear dynamics, chaos and fractals [30] - [38] . It is quite conceivable that orthodox quantum mechanics is a historical but important accident and that it could have been possible to have modern physics realized via zero and empty sets plus extra dimensions instead of orthodox quantum mechanics. We mean we could have quantum physics without quantum mechanics [59] . Now we are in a reasonably good position to answer our initial question in the Epilogue (Section 2). The question was why Dirac's bra and ket and not any other formulations lead to Hardy's first exact golden mean quantum entanglement solution where is the golden mean. Our answer is educated guess work which deep thinkers like Gell-Mann, Hartle, Stapp, Wheeler, 'tHooft and much earlier, K. Menger [24] [46] [48] were seriously considering. It is the fundamental and philosophical logical necessity to abandon the concept of a point for something more fundamental. An object with a small extension as a superstring is definitely better than a point but it is not yet sufficient. We need transfinite set theory, which is the mathematical origin of what is nowadays called fractals. Once we admit Cantorian geometry we find undreamed of simplicity and new dualities combining fields with spacetime to something new in physics. The nearest thing to that in the not too distant past is 'tHooft's renormalization [25] fractal spacetime and we could claim with some confidence that the present work goes a long way in this direction. Once these basic facts are accepted then most of the weirdness of quantum physics evaporates and we recognize quantum entanglement as a natural consequence of empty sets and zero measure geometry and that state vector reduction is nothing more than an empty set becoming a non-empty zero set due to intrusive measurement. In fact, seen that way, the density matrix may be replaced by the density of spacetime as shown in the present paper. However, at the end of the day, without moving from our traditional number systems to the golden mean based number system of E-infinity, we may understand a great deal but we could not possibly be able to calculate as many accurate results as we have here. In other words, the golden mean number system used here is part and parcel of the general theory and not coincidental to it. The final grand design is a quantum physics without quantum mechanics [59] [61] which is replaced by incorporating the zero set and the empty set of transfinite set theory on a fundamental level in the very roots of physics where physics, logic and pure mathematics are one and the same thing [24] - [44] .

Tempers can run high when an aging relative falls into a crisis and different family members have varying opinions. Generally, disagreements about money—who is in charge of it and how it will be used—and housing—should our parents stay at home or move—are the two most common family arguments.
But don't despair! There are strategies to effectively communicate and provide effective care and support for your loved one during a stressful situation. So what are some steps to reduce family conflict and improve communication?
Making a decision impulsively or when you are feeling emotionally charged can backfire. When possible, stop and take some time.
It is essential to schedule a time to re-visit the issue, so all family members know that there will be a discussion coming shortly and that you are not avoiding the problems. The follow up can be a phone call, email or (if possible) a family meeting. All family members must be included. Leaving someone out will only lead to resentment, and additional communication and relationship problems.
Everyone in the family, including the older relative, makes a list of the symptoms or problems that they have observed. You can do this prior to your meeting or together as a family.
Remove your feelings or hypotheses about the problems and just list the facts such as "Mom is losing weight. Mom is falling a lot at home. Mom is not taking her medication. "If you focus on symptoms and remove yourself, you are less likely to start blaming others and causing more family strife.
In this way the family discovers that they share a common mission, which can help to diffuse conflict and align everyone's objectives. Yes, there may be differences of opinion on HOW to meet that goal, but usually all family members are focused on the safety and happiness of their loved one.
When tempers flare, return to the family mission statement to realign and refocus.
Don't forget to list every solution available before making a decision about which one is right for your loved one.
Each family member will volunteer to research a solution. Notice, that I wrote volunteer. People like to choose what they do and they do not want to feel like they are being told what to do.
Make sure to include the older relative in the entire process. After all, it is their life and they should be the team captain, if possible! At the follow-up meeting, options are presented and the family can now look at which one may work best. If necessary, the family can start again with a cheat sheet in order to formulate who will take on which responsibility to implement the plan.

Q: Application of Egorov's Theorem for Pseudodifferential Operators Let $\;P_{0} \in OPS^{m}_{1,0}(\mathbb{R}^{n} \; \times \; \mathbb{R}^{n})\;$, $\;A \in OPS^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n} \; \times \; \mathbb{R}^{n})$ and $S(t)$ the solution operator of the scalar hyperbolic equation
$$
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = i\;A(t,x,Dx)\;u
$$
Egorov's theorem applies to the operator $P(t) = S(t)\;P_{0}\;S(t)^{-1}$ (see Theorem 6.1 M. Taylor's notes).
What about $P(t) = S^{-1}(t)\;P_{0}\;S(t)$? Are the principal symbols of $P$ and $A$ related by an Hamiltonian flow? (I couldn't figure out the answer from the proof in the notes)

A: If $S(t)$ is such that $S(0)=Id$ and
$$
\dot S=iA S,
$$
the operator $S$ is a Fourier integral operator which quantizes the canonical transformation $\chi$
given by the (non-autonomous) flow of $H_a$, the Hamiltonian vector field of the principal symbol $a$ of $A$, which is assumed of real-principal type.
Now if $P_0$ is a pseudodifferential operator of order $m$ with principal symbol $p$, Egorov' theorem says indeed that
$S^*P_0S$ is also a pseudodifferential operator of order $m$ with principal symbol $p\circ \chi$. Note in particular that, for $P_0=Id$, you get that the principal symbol of $S^*S$ is 1. Now looking at the operator
$SP_0S^*$, you find that it is a pseudodifferential operator with principal symbol $p\circ \chi^{-1}$.


They call places like Garnett, "ghost tracks."
Places that long ago used to reverberate with the excitement of thousands of auto racing spectators; the smell of hot oil and gasoline exhaust; the sounds of screaming engines straining for the next inch of ground to prove who was the best.
Topeka author Max Yoho takes words – those plain ol' words we all use daily, reading and writing -- and scrubs them off with a little bit of spit and a dirty hankie, shuffles them like a worn deck of cards and then just when you think he's going to deal, he hollers "52 card pickup" and tosses them in the air.
Joe and Howard Funk were born just 30 minutes apart on September 17, 1910, in Akron, Ohio. The brothers seemed to have a knack for all things mechanical, and both excelled in drafting and shop classes in school. They took an immediate liking to flying machines, which were becoming quite popular in the Akron area. Their folks, however, had other ideas and set them up in the retail grocery business. But that just provided them the financial platform needed to pursue their interest in aircraft.
Patrons worn suits and evening dresses, and the evening as an occasion, an event, a night on the town. The was an a era in which going to the theater was about much more than popcorn and Raisinets. Independence is home to one of the last existing examples of this "Golden Age of Movie Palaces", which reigned during the 1920's. This distinctive time in history fostered the beginning of the motion picture industry. The Booth Theatre was the first and only movie theatre in Independence, Kansas, for more than 53 years, starting in 1927. It represents a time when going to the movies was a complete experience, and many of the movies shown paled in comparison to the theatres themselves. The lavish art deco style, in conjunction with the public fervor for motion pictures, made the Booth Theatre the hot spot for social gathering.
One of Southeast Kansas's greatest treasures of the past still lies in Coffeyville Kansas. The Brown Mansion was home to William P. Brown and his family from 1906-1970. The Mansion cost $125,000 to build, in part because of its lavish furnishings and intricate designs. In 1970, Violet Brown sold the mansion to the Coffeyville Historical Society, and it is now a tourist attraction where visitors can catch a glimpse of upper class life in the early 1900's.

Inside Dateline: Faking cancer to get donations
July 19, 2006, 12:50 AM UTC

Faking cancer (Rob Stafford, Dateline correspondent)
Imagine if your best friend tells you she's dying of cancer. She is a 29-year-old mother of five young boys and she has only nine months to live. You would probably react the same way two women I interviewed for Friday's Dateline did. They say they rallied to help their friend, offered to care for her boys, searched the Internet for the best cancer treatments and attended and organized fundraisers to help pay medical bills. They say they cried and prayed and cried some more.
Now, imagine nine months later your dying friend looks better than ever. She is fit and tan and you're not quite sure why, especially since she's been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation and dialysis treatments that normally debilitate people. Was it possible your friend wasn't really sick? Was is possible this person you thought you knew so well had been lying to you?
Courtesy Of Ozzie Allbrooks
Friday's story is a story about betrayal. And the women you will hear from will tell you being betrayed by your best friend is a con too cruel for anyone to imagine. In fact, they would never have believed it unless a private investigator's hidden camera had captured the cancer scam on tape.
Jennifer Dibble and the story about her fake cancer airs Dateline Friday, July 21, 8 p.m.
• July 19, 2006 |
Scamming and betraying family and friends (Olive Talley, Dateline producer)
When private investigator Ozzie Allsbrooks called me to tell me about this investigation, I had a hard time believing it. But it was clear from talking to Ozzie, this was far more than an ordinary case for him. It was personal.
How could a young mother of five sons tell her own children she's dying of cancer, along with other relatives and friends and then be lying about it? It was hard to fathom -- until we saw numerous court records, the undercover surveillance tapes and talked to the very friends this woman had betrayed. It was an undeniable scam.
As our story reveals, Jennifer Dibble was convincing. Who wouldn't be sympathetic to someone who posted e-mails like these that Jennifer, under her pen name of "fiveboysmom," posted on an Internet parents' support group?
Certainly, the immediate family members of Jennifer and Brian Dibble and their friends were hurt by her actions. But Ozzie Allsbrooks, the private investigator who helped expose the fraud, said he fears even greater fallout for future cancer victims who need the support of strangers. Read to this exchange with correspondent Rob Stafford:
Rob: What bothers you the most about this case? Ozzie: That it went on for this length of time. That so many people trusted and believed in her apparent ordeal. They gave unselfishly time and time again and she was faking it the whole time. It irritates me that I had a brother that really did have cancer who passed away in May and left four kids of his own. And, of course, the damage it does to the community. The people that actually gave of their hard-earned money and gifts to her and so forth -- and it was all for nothing. Just so that she could live the way she wanted to live. Rob: Who are the victims here? Ozzie: The victims? The first victims I think of are her very own sons. They believed their mother was gonna die. And then you have the family members that rallied around her and sacrificed to support her financially, mentally and emotionally. All of the people in the support group that she consulted with that she sought after and wanted their help and they rallied around in ways that it would take too long to describe. And then the last victims, are all of these victims that'll hear this telecast and they'll think about, "Well, gee-whiz, I wonder if these people we're supporting or this guy we're supporting or this girl we're supporting, I wonder if she's really sick or really ill.' They'll question things. There are a lot of people out there that need the help of the kind of people that came to her aid. And they may not go to anybody's aid anymore. They're going to be extremely reluctant. I hate what she did to cause that. "
Finally, for Ozzie, there's the question of justice. It's been two years since this fraud was exposed in open court in Fort Worth, Texas. Yet, no criminal charges have been filed. Ozzie, a former policeman, considers it an "open and shut" case of fraud. He said he's shared all his evidence with the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office in Dallas/Fort Worth.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Richard Roper says the case is still under investigation. State prosecutors have told Allsbrooks they're waiting to see what, if any, action is taken by federal authorities before they decide if they will open a case.
A search of the Internet and newspaper databases reveals many similar cases that have resulted in criminal prosecution. Last year in Georgia, after he pleaded guilty to 12 counts of theft by deception.
In Louisiana last year, a former Shreveport policeman and his wife were in order to collect donations and loans.
In Las Vegas last year, a federal grand jury indicted by telling them she was dying of cancer and taking money from benefits held on her behalf.
In Utah last September, the wife of a federal drug agent was sentenced to jail time after she pretended to have cancer. The Salt Lake Tribune quoted the judge as saying, "You have inflicted damage that will never be corrected." He went on to say that some of the donors were her children's classmates who have lost their innocence by being victims of the scam.
Finally, two Ohio women were ordered to spend time behind bars for their respective fake cancer schemes. One woman . Another woman shaved her daughters' hair and gave her sleeping pills to .
For Ozzie Allsbrooks, it's more than a matter of law. It's personal.
His brother died of cancer in May 2005, leaving four children behind. In the future, Ozzie hopes to start a non-profit that can help people check out the claims of people who seek money from the public for medical help BEFORE they donate. He said real victims of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses need support while donors need to know that their money is going for a genuine cause. And, as Ozzie knows painfully well, it can be a matter of life and death.


I know my owner calls me a thief, but honestly, it's just a hobby. What hobby am I talking about? Well, I am a collector. A very sophisticated, subtle and sneaky collector. What do I collect you ask? I think it would be easier to ask what I don't collect. My favorite thing to collect is food, mostly snackfood like potato crisps, nuts, pretzels and gingercake. But I'm not too picky. I mean, I am not like my sister Koko. She collects anything she finds really. Mostly receipts, bags, wrappers and any thing aluminumfoiled. Me, I am more sophisticated, I steall things like contact-lens-containers, bandaids, pencils and mostly rubber duckies. Ohyes, I will go out of my way to steal rubber duckies. Because let's be honest; who doesn't LOVE rubber duckies? I do!
Here's an impression of a collection I made in a few days time.


Students will arrive at L.A. Arboretum / Descanso Gardens by 9:30 a.m.
Buses will RETURN to CSULA Lot 5 at 3:30 p.m. Please be on time to pick up your child.
Please send your child with a sack lunch.
* Student must ride on school bus. No drop off or pick up from the field trip location.
Also, please bring your Direct Appeal donation to the FOVA Table.
Next Saturday 11/10 is the Field Trip (8am – 3:30pm).

Mohler Proposes a Major Expansion of the County's Mental Health Crisis System
Oct 12, 2018 10:00:00 AM EDT
Mobile Crisis Team Will be Available 24/7
Baltimore County Executive Don Mohler announced plans to significantly expand the County's emergency mental health system by funding overnight hours for the Mobile Crisis Team that responds to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, including those addicted to opioids.
The Baltimore County Crisis Response System, a collaborative effort between the County's Health and Police Departments, works with The Affiliated Sante' Group, Inc. to provide emergency mental health services to Baltimore County residents. The Mobile Crisis Team is currently available from 9:30 a.m. until 1 a.m. daily. The increased funding of $561,000, contingent on County Council approval, will bring the Mobile Crisis Team budget to $2.6 million and will help expand their services to 24 hours per day.
"Our Mobile Crisis Team provides a vital service to people in their most vulnerable moments; by pairing a mental health clinician with a police officer, they are able to respond in a way that deescalates situations, protecting both the individual and overall public safety," Mohler said. "If approved by the Council, we will ensure that County residents who need these services throughout the night will now have access to them."
"The increase in funding will mean an expansion in service hours, and having these services available around the clock is priceless," said Director of the Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Gregory Wm. Branch.
The Mobile Crisis Team responds to severe behavioral health emergencies in the community, with the goals of diverting residents from unnecessary hospitalizations and/or entry into the criminal justice system, and reducing the number of emergency petitions. The team provided 2,343 interventions to County residents and their families in fiscal year 2018.
"This funding will allow constant coverage throughout the County to provide a resource to patrol officers dealing with those suffering from mental health issues," said Chief of Police Terrence Sheridan. "Hopefully, this will continue our trend of peacefully resolving incidents involving individuals in crisis."
"The Mobile Crisis Team has been a tremendous asset to the community and I support the expansion of their availability into the overnight hours, when many incidents take place," said County Council Chair Julian Jones.
"Mental health crises don't start in the morning and end at night," concluded Mohler. "We have to take care of those in need."
Facilitating Access to Mental Health Care
Another strength of the Mobile Crisis Team is that they help people take full advantage of the dynamic matrix of services in place to link County residents to preventative care options.
For more information on mental health services offered in Baltimore County, call the Baltimore County Department of Health at 410-887-3828. To access emergency mental health services, call the 24-hour Mobile Crisis Team hotline at 410-931-2214.

A top cabinet minister in Fiji's military regime has been allowed into New Zealand to attend a football meeting in Auckland.
Military-appointed Education minister Filipe Bole is attending an Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) ministerial meeting in Manukau today.
OFC general secretary Tai Nicholas says they are delighted that Bole could come "considering the travel restrictions that have been in place since the 2006 military coup.
"Sport can be used as a tool to bring unity and we are seeing that in practice with this youth and sports conference and sports ministers' meeting.
"We would like to thank the New Zealand Government for their role in allowing the Hon. Filipe Bole to attend," said Nicholas.
A spokesman for Foreign Minister Murray McCully said it is a regional meeting of sports ministers.
"Our policy on travel sanctions has always been that we consider applications on a case by case basis, and in situations where we feel it is beneficial to the region as a whole to allow Fiji to participate in a regional meeting being held in New Zealand, we reserve the right to waive the restrictions in place," the spokesman said.
The behind-closed-doors meeting which involves at least 10 ministers from across the Pacific will be hosted by OFC as part of the inaugural Pacific Youth and Sports Conference.
The conference has seen 800 young people from 17 countries take part this week.
Fiji's Football Association has hailed the meeting.
"We are very proud to have Filipe Bole invited to attend the conference in Manukau, New Zealand," Fiji FA head Sahu Khan said.
"I believe the minister's presence in New Zealand is a very good sign as sports bridge division.
"I think not only soccer but the all the sporting bodies should be proud of Bole's participation in New Zealand."
This loser Bole had been part and parcel of the illegal regime and therefore should be regarded as one who had taken part with an illegal group of criminals. No consideration whatsoever should be given to him as with the other members of the group. I think NZ is softening up on these crims and conceding to their wishes. This is not good as the sanction will lose its sting as time goes on with all these case by case acceptance of the illegal individuals into NZ and Aust.

E-DISCOVERY: The Internet is Forever
By Lazear Mack August 5, 2013 Legal
Social Media Has Arrived
Social media has become ubiquitous. It is not surprising that its content has become the target of a growing number of "E-Discovery" requests in the course of modern litigation. Social media posts are now being utilized by defense attorneys to strengthen their case. Individuals need to be aware that anything posted on the internet over a lifetime may ultimately be attainable through E-Discovery. In that context, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, MySpace and Instagram can quickly become tools to humiliate a careless plaintiff.
As sites like these grow in usage and popularity, the law will adapt and provide attorneys conducting litigation increased access to the wealth of information stored on them. Don't be fooled. These posts are not private. With E-Discovery, they are easily accessible to attorneys during the course of a lawsuit. Sometimes they can shatter an otherwise solid case.
What Can Your Employer Claim as Company Property?
There are often issues of an employer's right to view and acquire company information you may be storing on your personal media devices, such as your laptop or your smart phone. Your phone may belong to you, but who ultimately owns the Twitter account you've been managing? Who owns the information posted on it?
The answer may not be all that clear. It will depend on the nature of the content, whether it was done in your name or that of the company, and what the initial understanding was between yourself and your employer. It is also a good idea for businesses to spell out their expectations beforehand. When asking an employee to manage a Twitter feed or to run another social media site on a company's behalf, an employee should probably not use his or her own electronic devices.
Businesses Face Increasing Risk
As the pressure to market through social media sites grows, Businesses inevitably become more vulnerable to E-Discovery. As one commentator has pointed out:
"[…] what companies and their employees say on social media sites can be used against them. Conversely, your adversaries' posts, blogs, or Tweets can potentially be used against them as well. . . . . Social media presents unique challenges to businesses trying to manage their litigation risks. [..] an employee who responds to an online complaint regarding its company's products—even without the company's authorization—might be exposing (albeit, unwittingly) its employer to potential liability. If the employee posts something that is not accurate, for example, or that is otherwise inconsistent with the employer's official stance, this may undermine the employer's litigation position."[1]
Social Media use is here to stay.
Employees must learn how to communicate with friends and family without inadvertently causing harmful exposure at some later date. They must also educate themselves as to the inherent risks of posting on behalf of their employers without a clear agreement in advance. These skills are often counter-intuitive, as the instinct is to share ideas in the moment works against the enacting of self-censorship. It may seem an unwelcome inhibition. After all, the post is marked "Private/Close Friends Only."
But it is important to learn how to use communication tools that may be opened up to parties with interests that may be antagonistic to yours. In Barnes v. CUS Nashville, Case No. 3:09-cv-00764 the magistrate settled a Facebook discovery dispute by ordering that the plaintiff issue a "friend request" to a special account created by the Judge in order that he might view her data in camera and make a determination as to what information should be produced to defense counsel.
This conversation isn't going away any time soon. We all need to be aware of the risks involved in social media, and the vast erosion of personal privacy that will undoubtedly be the end result of so much "sharing."

Ghost of Tom Joad war eine 2006 gegründete Post-Punk-Band aus Münster. Im Januar 2012 gaben sie ihre Auflösung bekannt.

Geschichte
Ghost of Tom Joad wurde am 16. Februar 2006 gegründet. Der Bandname stammt vom Song The Ghost of Tom Joad von Bruce Springsteen, der auch von Junip gecovert wurde. Ihre Debüt-EP Is This What You Call a Fronterlebnis? wurde auf den Konzerten und über die Homepage verkauft. Am 8. Februar 2008 erschien das Debütalbum No Sleep Until Ostkreuz. Am 6. Februar 2009 folgte das zweite Album Matterhorn, welches im Vergleich zum Vorgänger eher düster gehalten ist.

Schon im Oktober des Gründungsjahres spielten sie als Vorband von The Lost Patrol Band und Madsen. Des Weiteren spielten sie mit Maxïmo Park, Coheed and Cambria, Kettcar, Tomte, Samiam, Mando Diao, State Radio und tourten mit Muff Potter, deren Gitarrist Dennis Scheider das Management und die Produktion von Ghost of Tom Joad übernahm.

Am 13. Januar 2012 gab die Band über ihr Label Richard Mohlmann Records und via Facebook mit einem YouTube-Video die Auflösung nach vier Abschiedskonzerten im April 2012 bekannt.

Callahan stars as Red Wings win preseason opener over Penguins, 4-2
Helene St. James
Evidence of Mitch Callahan's toughness shows every time he smiles.
He did a lot of that Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena as he led a ragtag Detroit Red Wings squad to a 4-2 exhibition victory over the Penguins with a two-goal performance.
"I've had it a few times in the minors, but never at this level," Callahan said. "It's special."
Evgeny Svechnikov, the Wings' first-round pick from 2015, converted during a two-man advantage in the second period.
Both lineups were very light on NHL regulars – basically each fielded one line, one set of defensemen and one goaltender – but the Penguins still managed to tilt the rink the first five minutes and draw a penalty. Joe Hicketts got the Wings a power play at the period's midpoint, which enabled Nick Jensen to get some looks on the man advantage. He's among the defense prospects auditioning for a job.
Coach Jeff Blashill had nice words for Callahan's line with Eric Tangradi and Matt Lorito, calling it the best through the first half. Blashill liked Darren Helm's game all night, and that of Gustav Nyquist and Riley Sheahan as the game wore on. The trio provided an insurance goal with 2:10 to play when Sheahan finished a between-the-legs pass from Nyquist. Blashill also said "both goalies were really good," with Jimmy Howard making 14 saves and Jared Coreau, 17, as they split the game. "They made more big saves than we'd like to have them have to make."
Callahan converted with seconds to spare on a power play to provide a 1-0 lead. Less than 2 minutes into the second period, Callahan scored again after Lorito made a pick in the middle.
"I was wide open in front and just had to tap it in," Callahan said.
That made it 2-0.
"Good for Cally," Blashill said. "He's a bit of a hockey player – he just finds a way to do the right thing. He doesn't always look the skill set part, but he finds a way to do the right thing."
Howard had a solid start with 11 saves in the first period, but gave up an iffy goal to Garrett Wilson at 10:16 of the second period. Coreau took over as planned a minute later.
A sequence that began with Jonathan Ericsson going to the penalty box at 12:17 eventually left the Wings with a two-man power play, which saw Svechnikov show off his backhand to make it 3-1. Wilson scored again in the third period.
Where Svechnikov is a star on the rise, Callahan has been in the Wings organization since he was drafted 180th overall in 2009. At 25, he serves as a solid veteran with the Grand Rapids Griffins, having cleared waivers the previous two seasons.
"It kind of shows that they really haven't given up on me yet," Callahan said. "I was pretty happy when I got the news they were going to re-sign me."
Callahan had 19 goals and 13 assists for 32 points last season with Grand Rapids – along with 94 penalty minutes. The Wings re-signed him this summer to a one-year deal because they like his aggravating, pesky style of play.
Callahan gained fame in 2014 when he tweeted a picture snapped after a puck to the face blew out 10 teeth and broke his jaw.
