Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers have identified six subtypes of an aggressive and difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer, called triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

In the July issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Cancer Center Director Jennifer Pietenpol, and colleagues describe the molecular features of these six distinct subtypes and identify chemotherapies to which the different subtypes respond in cultured cells and animal tumor models. Knowing the specific subtype could help physicians determine which therapies would work best in patients with TNBC and also inform the discovery and development of new drugs to treat this form of breast cancer, the authors suggest.

TNBCs recur more often, have poorer prognosis

TNBCs account for 10 percent to 20 percent of all breast cancers and tend to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer. ?It?s a pretty significant health problem from the standpoint that 11 percent of Caucasians, 17 percent of Hispanics, and 25 percent of African Americans have this type of breast cancer,? Pietenpol said.

While some patients with TNBC initially respond well to standard chemotherapy, these tumors are more likely to recur after treatment and have a poorer prognosis. Less than 30 percent of women with metastatic TNBC ? which has spread outside the breast ? survive five years.

The difficulty in treating these tumors stems from what they lack.

The term triple-negative breast cancer, explained Pietenpol, ?is just a definition of what (the cancer) isn?t.?

TNBC tumors lack the estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) that drive about 60 percent of breast cancers. They also show no amplification of another receptor, called HER2, which drives about 20 percent to 30 percent of breast cancers.

The absence of these receptors means that the tumors are unlikely to respond to hormone therapies like tamoxifen and to therapies targeted to HER2 like trastuzumab (Herceptin).

Research describes six distinct subtypes of TNBC

Postdoctoral fellows Brian Lehmann and Joshua Bauer along with biostatistician Xi (Steven) Chen identified 587 cases of TNBC among 21 publicly-available breast cancer data sets. They then analyzed the genomic data to uncover unique gene expression profiles ? sets of genes that are either turned ?up? or ?down? in the tumors.

Their analysis revealed six distinct subtypes ? two ?basal-like? types (BL1 and BL2) involving cell cycle and DNA damage response genes; two ?mesenchymal? types (M and MSL) driven by genes involved in cell differentiation and growth factor pathways; an ?immunomodulatory? (IM) group, driven by immune system genes; and a ?luminal? subgroup (LAR) driven by androgen (male sex hormone) signaling.

The researchers also identified cell lines representing each of these subtypes and tested various chemotherapies in development or in clinical investigation in the cell lines. They also implanted these cells into mice to generate animal models of these tumor subtypes.

They found that the BL1 and BL2 subtypes responded to cisplatin; the M and MSL subtypes responded to dasatinib and experimental drug NVP-BEZ235; and the LAR subtypes were sensitive to bicalutamide.

Discovery could lead to new treatments

The findings provide a way of distinguishing molecular differences in this diverse group of breast cancers and suggest molecular targets for each subtype that may inform drug discovery and development efforts.

?In our opinion, the big breakthrough is just being able to say ?this isn?t one disease,?? said Pietenpol.

Being able to distinguish distinct biological subtypes of TNBC could help guide the design of select clinical trials for subtypes of breast cancer, point toward new biomarkers for patient selection for a given therapy, and identify new targets for drug discovery, she said.

?This really is the first step in translating genomic information into personalizing therapy for women with a very difficult-to-treat breast cancer.?

Other Vanderbilt authors on the study were Melinda Sanders, Bapsi Chakravarthy and Yu Shyr. The research was funded by the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Best Species of Fish for Stocking Ponds | Freshwater Fishing News

Across North America, landowners have a variety of choices when it comes to stocking private ponds with fish. Types of freshwater fish suitable for pond stocking include bass, sunfish, catfish, freshwater trout and many others.

When choosing which species of fish to stock in a pond, owners typically take into consideration their overall goals for the project. In many cases, fishing is a priority for landowners.

In all but the coldest regions, members of the bass and sunfish family are popular with pond owners. These include largemouth and smallmouth bass, rock bass, crappie, bluegill, shellcrackers, pumpkinseed, green sunfish or other species.

In addition to bass and sunfish, some land owners choose to stock other freshwater species such as rainbow trout, bullheads, channel catfish, pickerel, yellow perch, carp, suckers or others.

Each species can have impacts on the overall success of the pond. A few species, such as largemouth bass and bluegill are known to co-exist successfully. Others can fail when placed in the same body of water.

Typically, pond owners stock one or more top level predators, such as bass or pickerel, accompanied by a variety of forage species upon which larger fish can feed on.

Before stocking a private pond, most owners consult pond fish books for ideas on which fish species to include. State or provincial fish and game departments may also offer information concerning pond stocking. Many of these resources can save pond owners time, money and frustration.

In addition to stocking fish for sport or table fare, pond owners often choose to add a variety of plants and wildlife. A variety of aquatic plants are introduced into private ponds. Aquatic plants can provide shelter for fish and other pond life, food for waterfowl, or simply add to pond aesthetics.

In many areas, mosquitofish are essential additions to even the smallest of ponds. These tiny fish eat insect larvae in great quantities and can be extremely effective for mosquito control.

When aquatic plants become a nuisance, some pond owners add species of fish that are intended specifically to reduce plant life. Common carp and grass carp are both known for their ability to devour and reduce submerged aquatic plants. Although they are highly effective at plant reduction, these fish tend to stir up silt, making pond waters murky.

Crayfish are another possibility for pond stocking. Like carp, they devour aquatic vegetation, stirring up silt in the process. In some applications, they become forage for large fish and their tendency to hamper water clairty is kept in balance. Although they have a host of benefits, some species are not suitable for stocking in ponds where water clarity and fish production are prime goals.

Australia inquiry backs refugee disaster rescue (AFP)

SYDNEY (AFP) ? A government inquiry into a horrific shipwreck off Australia which killed some 48 refugees Wednesday praised the rescue operation, saying it was "extremely complicated" to detect approaching boats.

The Senate Committee found rescuers did everything they could to save lives after the rickety vessel, carrying an estimated 90 Iranian, Iraqi and Kurdish asylum seekers, smashed on rocks at remote Christmas Island in December.

Originating from Indonesia's Palau Panaitan island, the wooden boat was dashed against limestone cliffs in a wild storm at the far-flung Australian outpost, throwing people to their deaths, including women and children.

Though navy and border officials managed to pluck 41 survivors from the huge waves and another man scrambled to land, it was the worst refugee accident in Australian waters in a decade.

The committee said "the response to the horrific tragedy that took place on 15 December 2010 was professional, courageous and as effective as it could possibly be under the prevailing weather conditions".

"(Rescuers') courage in the face of very real personal risk certainly increased the number of survivors. Their actions were nothing short of heroic."

The inquiry's scope did not extend to whether authorities had known the boat was approaching before it was physically sighted from the island -- a key issue currently being examined in an inquest.

But the report said the boat, codenamed SIEV 221, had been "unexpected" and the weather -- "amongst the worst ever experienced on the island" -- rendered on-ship radar and electronic surveillance useless.

A land-based radar had been trialled following the shipwreck with little success, it added.

"The radar picture of the marine environment around Christmas Island is extremely complicated, as it results from a range of objects including waves, clouds and birds, as well as vessels," it said.

"Simply detecting an object with the radar is not sufficient to identify it as a small boat."

The committee also noted recent media reports that a man in immigration detention at Christmas Island who was in touch with some on board SIEV 221 had tried to alert authorities of its approach three hours before the crash.

"Given that these media reports have emerged at such a late stage, the committee did not take evidence on the issue during the course of its inquiry, and it notes that the veracity of the claims remains untested," it said.

The claims would be considered by the coroner, it said.

St. Louis Beacon - Investing in broadband can slash energy use

Sometimes people can worry that there are difficult times ahead. But I am here to launch a report that clearly demonstrates America is sitting on the greatest assets you could wish for. This report, entitled "Building a 21st Century Communications Economy," shows how America can usher in a second American Century.

Natural resources, such as oil, are becoming harder to access and more expensive to purchase.

Global oil demand is projected to grow, on average, more than 20 million barrels a day by 2030, driven mostly by emerging economies. For example, the increased consumption of India and China alone is equivalent to using the entire U.S. strategic oil reserves in just one month (according to the International Energy Agency).

Economic value will increasingly reside in bits and bytes, rather than in the atoms and molecules of products and commodities.

There is enormous potential for broadband communication to free millions of people from so much unnecessary commuting to meetings.

According to a 2008 report by Connected Nation, the U.S. could expect to gain $92 billion through 2.4 million jobs created or saved annually by investing in broadband.

Total Annual Economic Impact resulting in broadband investment for Missouri would be $2,501,367,723 and jobs created or saved annually of 48,592.

Environmental opportunity: The products and services of an advanced communications network - including teleconferencing, telecommuting and e-commerce - lower environmental impact by reducing our need to travel and by reducing the materials used to produce physical objects (e.g. e-books instead of books, video-streaming instead of DVDs and especially substitutes for newspapers).

One report (the Smart 2020 U.S addendum) showed that information and communications technology (ICT) could help the U.S. reduce emissions by an estimated 13-22 percent from business as usual projections and potentially achieve gross energy and fuel savings of $140 billion-$240 billion. Robust accounting of emissions is integral to achieving a successful 21st century communications economy to ensure that carbon emissions are accurately recorded and accounted for - a truly dematerialized economy should not be limited by geography and physical boundaries.

about the author

Paul Dickinson is executive chairman and founder of the Carbon Disclosure Project, a not-for-profit organization collecting key climate change data from more than 3,000 of the world's largest companies around the globe on behalf of 533 institutional investors with more than $71 trillion in investment capital.

Dickinson believes that harnessing profit motive as a force for good -- reducing carbon emissions and creating new economic opportunity -- can go hand-in-hand.

The following is adapted from a speech given today at Webster University.

Broadband can help build stronger, healthier communities. Lack of high-speed internet access puts people at a disadvantage when it comes to finding a job, accessing health information and keeping up with news and information. We have an opportunity to create an environment where more people can access ICT products and services that will help us grow our economy with less environmental impact while maintaining, if not improving, quality of life in cities and rural areas.

Energy Security benefits: The American Consumer Institute forecast that approximately 1 billion metric tons of green house gas emissions will be saved in the U.S. over a 10 year period through broadband based applications. If converted into energy saved, this is equivalent to approximately 2.2 billion barrels of oil, 66 percent of 2010 U.S. imports or $204 billion.

Leading local initiatives like the Climate Prosperity Project show how business can lead the way. And so can government. Yesterday I had the honor to be with Mayor Slay celebrating the leadership of the city of St Louis in establishing a baseline for carbon emissions, and selection by ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) as one of 10 cities to help them develop common criteria by which all cities' sustainability efforts can be measured and evaluated.

Here in the heart of America, I hope we can, with this report, highlight again the Spirit of St Louis. That was the first airplane to link continents. At critical points in St. Louis history, you had four great means of commercial transport: River, rail, road and air.

Please think now about the all important fifth: Information and Communications Technology. This is the medium where America can lead, from AT&T to Apple, from Cisco to Google, from Microsoft to Facebook, eBay and Amazon. America already leads the communications century, with online teaching and entertainment assets producing huge export potential. From Harvard to Hollywood, America leads in the limitless resource of human imagination.

Webster University is the only U.S.-based university with a network of international residential campuses. It is extremely entrepreneurial and has been highly successful in addressing unmet needs in higher education. To increase access to both graduate and undergraduate education and provide students with a more flexible approach to learning, you launched your "WorldClassRoom" in 1999, providing online courses that students can access from anywhere in the world, provided they have an internet connection. You have 3,500 students who have chosen to learn in a fully online manner.

In contrast with traditional distance learning courses your students are part of small virtual classes, each containing up to 16 students. They can download their notes from the online web program, upload coursework, chat with fellow students, listen to audio and watch lecture videos.

These online courses give people who would otherwise not have access to this type of learning access to an extremely high quality educational experience. More than 3,500 of Webster University's 21,000 students have a military connection. Every day and every night soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany or other military installations are engaged in classes at Webster.

You're showing not just to your students, but to St. Louis and the world, how video conference technology coupled with broadband can deliver a first class education to anyone, anywhere, anytime. This "one-two punch" -- sophisticated video conferencing technology with a very fast connection to the internet -- will also provide greater health-care access and economic opportunities to remote areas of a state or country.

If we keep building the physical economy, and try to compete for resources, we will all lose. But if we build the 21st century broadband communications economy, we can empower citizens, in cities and rural areas, to develop education, entertainment and communications without limit.

Claiming Compensation for Professional Negligence

Any professional may be negligent when offering advice to, or performing services for clients, and where such negligence causes financial loss, the professional in question will be liable to pay compensation for the damage they have caused. When the services of a professional are engaged, the client has a right to expect they will operate with reasonable care and skill, to the standard one would expect from a competent professional in the same industry. To prove negligence it will be necessary to establish that a duty of care existed, and that the duty was breached in a negligent manner, directly causing real or anticipated financial loss. Where this has occurred the client may pursue a claim for damages, which will be paid out under the indemnity insurance policy that professionals must maintain.

Claims for negligence are most common against professionals whose poor advice or service can cause significant financial loss, including solicitors, accountants, financial advisers, property surveyors and architects. These professions are generally well-regulated, with professional bodies to handle complaints and take disciplinary action against their members. They are not however in a position to refund clients who have lost money due to professional negligence, and for this reason the services of an independent solicitor are normally engaged to pursue a compensation claim. Such claims are often complex, and for this reason it is important for a prospective claimant to ensure that the lawyers they choose to use have experience and a proven track record in successful professional negligence claims.

Both solicitors and accountants may breach the duty of care they owe clients in various different ways. Failure to act promptly on the part of a solicitor may result in a claim becoming time-barred, otherwise a claim may be dismissed automatically if deadlines for submitting documents are not met. Solicitors also regularly make costly mistakes when dealing with property matters, such as failing to renew a lease for example, or committing errors when transferring legal ownership (conveyancing). Accountants may make expensive errors when working on behalf of either individuals or businesses. The miscalculation of tax for example may result in unexpected future liabilities, as well as substantial fines and penalties. Investors may also suffer losses where company assets and / or share prices are over or undervalued.

Property surveyors are relied upon to value buildings and land, and mortgage deals for property buyers depend on their accuracy. This has become a particular problem as the property market in the UK has declined, leaving homeowners locked into mortgages based on unrealistically high valuations. Surveyors are also responsible for determining the structural soundness of property, and identifying defects which may affect the viability of a project, or substantially reduce a property's value. Architects play an equally critical role in planning and overseeing building projects, and are relied upon by both the client, and other contractors. The architect must ensure that projects are competently planned, and that work is carried out to their specifications. Mistakes in these areas can lead to spiralling costs, and may cause clients to abandon projects altogether.

Bartletts Solicitors are specialists in claiming compensation for loss caused by professional negligence. We will claim compensation on a no win no fee basis meaning that you will only pay legal fees if you win your claim.

Is Fat Tails Insurance Worthless? | zero hedge

Regular Zero Hedge readers know about our fascination with fat tail insurance, which is particularly relevant in modern day central planning when nothing is as it should be and everything is as the central bankers determine it is, at least until such time as the general market calls their bluff and we see the kinds of six sigma dislocations that marked trading for months on end after the Lehman bankruptcy. Probably the best most recent example is our overview of the 5 black swans that keep Dylan Grice up at night, and the way to hedge against them (incidentally, these were Long-term deflation, a Chinese Hard Landing, Asset Bubbles, Hyperinflation, and of course, a Bond Market Blow-up). And while one should always be hedge against prevailing conventional wisdom, because more often than not the crowd is wrong, and with very disastrous consequences, GMO's James Montier, in a just released white paper asks the fundamental question (whose affirmative answer could put purveyors of fat tail insurance such Nassim Taleb's Universa fund out of business), whether fait tails insurance is even necessary if everyone is protecting for the very same selection of "black swans" (therefore confirming that the hedged against events are anything but a black swan). Specifically, in Montier's words: "Tail risk protection appears to be one of many investment fads du jour. All too often those seeking tail risk protection appear to be motivated by the fear of missing out (not fear at all, but greed). However, the surge of tail risk products may well not be the hoped-for panacea. Indeed, they may even contain the seeds of their own destruction (something we often encounter in finance ? witness portfolio insurance, etc). If the price of tail risk insurance is driven up too high, it simply won?t benefit its purchasers." His solution for the best tail hedge: cash. "In many situations, cash is a severely underappreciated tail risk hedge." And somewhat more philosophic: "When it comes to timing tail risk protection, a long-term value-based approach and an emphasis on absolute standards of value, coupled with a broad mandate (a wide opportunity set, or, investment flexibility, if you prefer) seems to offer the best hope." Too bad that one must also factor for career risk, which usually means that everyone does end up doing precisely the same trade no matter what, which ultimately brings everyone back to square one.

While Grice's paper on the nuances of actual hedging to various strategies is far more detailed, here is how one approaches this topic in Montier's world:

We are aware of three general groups of tail risk protection from which investors may choose.

1. Cash

This is perhaps the oldest, easiest, and most underrated source of tail risk protection. If one is worried about systemic illiquidity events or drawdown risks, then what better way to help than keeping some dry powder in the form of cash ? the most liquid of all assets. (There is much more on the joy of cash to come shortly.)

2. Options/contingent claims

Occasionally, the market provides opportunities to protect against tail risk as a by-product of its manic phases. A
prime example was the credit default swaps that were a result of the demand for collateralized debt obligations.
These instruments were priced on the assumption that there would be no nation-wide decline in house prices, and thus offered a great opportunity (even without the benefit of hindsight) for those who were concerned that such an outcome was more plausible than the market thought.

Here, one caveat stands out above all others: one must be cautious of the dangers of over-engineering in this area of tail risk protection. It is too easy to construct an option that pays out under a very specific set of circumstances, and to do so relatively cheaply. But, of course, such an instrument tautologically only pays off under the realization of those specific events, so the tighter the constraints imposed, the less use the option is likely to be as general tail risk protection.

3. Strategies that are negatively correlated with tail risk

For the specific type of tail risk (illiquidity events) under consideration here, long volatility strategies are often said to
be negatively correlated. The simplest example of such a strategy is just to buy volatility contracts (bearing in mind
the roll return will be negative given the upward-sloping term structure of volatility). In the recent crisis, a dollar-neutral long quality/short junk portfolio acted very much like a long volatility strategy (with the added benefit of an expected positive return, in contrast to most insurance options).

Why Montier is skeptical: in one phrase - tail risk herding, driving up the price of hedges.

Tail risk protection is not a magic bullet. The cost of tail risk insurance becomes very evident when compared to the more conservative equities plus cash strategy considered in the sample above. This highlights one of the most important lessons of the exercise: tail risk protection requires timing ? the ?when? of tail risk protection, if you will. In the sample above, running permanent tail risk insurance similar to that of Strategy 4 leads to what might be called deferred drawdowns, made clear in Exhibit 3.

Obviously there is much more to Montier's thinking which can be found in the full letter below, although we would make one caveat: in tail risk insurance, like in everything else, it only pays to put a trade on if one is early, and, needless to mention, if the trade is the proper hedge against the specific risk. If either of these two are off the table, the naturally the costs will be prohibitive. Alas, in this day and age when alpha is all too often ignored at the expense of levered beta pursuits, in which the investing community has realized the banker trick that it only pays to be wrong if everyone is wrong (and thus will need a government bailout if all fail at the same time), do not expect much original and independent thought. After all - in a regime of centrally planned Bernanke put-ism, the only thing that matters is economies of scale. Whether one is right or wrong, when there is no risk of failure, is completely irrelevant.

UFC on Versus 4′s Three Stars: Kongo, Brenneman and Lauzon

The UFC's first trip into Pittsburgh was upended at the last minute because of Nate Marquardt's failed physical, but still had a wild main event to cap off an interesting evening of fights. Who stood out?

No. 1 star -- Cheick Kongo: An eight-month layoff from fighting due to injuries didn't slow the Frenchman, as Kongo scored a comeback knockout that will go down in UFC history. It earned him an extra $50,000 in a Knockout of the Night bonus.

No. 2 star -- Charlie Brenneman: Being prepared paid off for "The Spaniard." After his bout with T.J. Grant was called off at the last minute, he stayed ready to fight. It paid off, as he was the UFC's savior after the Marquardt fiasco. He seized the moment, using his wrestling to dominate an unprepared Rick Story in front of Brenneman's home crowd.

No. 3 star -- Joe Lauzon: Apparently, Lauzon had plans for Sunday night because he took out Curt Warburton with a quickness. He showed off a well-rounded game, knocking down Warburton with punches, then turned him into an unwilling contortionist with a kimura.

Who were your Three Stars from the event? Speak your mind in the comments or on Facebook.

Dame Judi Dench awarded freedom of London

Dame Judi Dench awarded freedom of London

Actor News - 28-06-11

Dame Judi Dench has been awarded the Freedom of the City of London at a ceremony in the capital.

In a video interview with The Telegraph, the actress known to James Bond fans as 'M', said she was "thrilled" to have been given the accolade.

As the paper points out, "many of the traditional rights received with the award are now effectively symbolic, such as being allowed to drive sheep over London Bridge or being hanged with a silken rope."

The award, which is believed to date back to 1237, is still an "honour" for the Oscar winning actress.

She said: "I love London, it's not my city at all, York is my city, but I feel very honoured to be given this. I've been here since I was a student so I've had many, many years here and now I feel like I belong."

Home Care Assistance of New Jersey: Caring for an Aging Loved One ...

by Anne Pagnoni

When Robert and Anne bought their family home thirty years ago, their plan was to live through retirement in this home. They had furnished their home with refurbished antiques acquired from their many trips together. It was one of their cherished antique coffee tables that Robert tripped over, breaking his hip. Now with his return from the hospital in a wheelchair, the overwhelming task of making their home accessible for Robert?s wheelchair and safe for both of them faced Anne.

Remodeling for wheelchair access, organizing home furnishings and daily living items or downsizing and relocating to a smaller living area are monumental tasks that are many times thrust on senior home owners. Sometimes the need to do this is brought on by injury or age related illness. Home and yard maintenance can become a daunting chore for even the healthiest of seniors, requiring them to make a downsizing decision.

There is a large and growing industry of specialists who understand these challenges of elderly homeowners and are ready and willing to help with remodeling, organizing or the sale of the home and with the move to a new location.

A professional organizer provides skills in making the home safe and manageable. Relocating furniture, removing hazards such as electrical cords, throw rugs, heavy objects on shelves that might fall are some of the ways they make a home more senior friendly. They specialize in helping seniors part with items that clutter or have no valued use, so to make rooms less crowded or to make ready for a move to a smaller living space.

Handicap remodeling services and senior safety services offer help in adding wheelchair ramps and widening doorways. Bathrooms are made more accessible and safe, with hand rails, walk-in bath facilities and easier access to toilets.

If moving to a smaller retirement home or care facility is the best solution there is another senior specialty provider to call on called a Seniors Real Estate Specialist.

The Senior Real Estate Specialist concentrates more on a complete service package for the sale of the property and/or the purchase of a new living arrangement. The specialist also arranges for the services of a relocation specialist or Senior Move Manager to provide a complete, stress-free package for the elderly homeowner.

A move often requires downsizing and getting rid of a tremendous number of acquired possessions. The relocation specialist or Senior Move Manager, as they are often called, will typically provide a turnkey operation that includes assessing and identifying items to keep, arranging for auction or other disposal, cleaning the home, moving the belongings and setting up the new residence. The manager may also work closely with a real estate agent to arrange for the sale of the home and may also be involved in the financial transactions necessary to move into a new living arrangement.

All the help available to seniors may in itself be overwhelming. How do seniors choose the right service provider for their needs? How do they know they will hire someone qualified, responsible and honest? Area Agencies on Aging and State Better Business Bureaus are good resources to check out available service providers.

Family, friends and religious leaders can be valuable resources to seniors in referring service providers and helping to manage the hiring and supervision.

The National Care Planning Council?s website http://www.longtermcarelink.net/ provides educational articles and information on eldercare providers throughout the nation.

Longform.org's guide to the greatest long articles ever written.By Max LinskyPosted Saturday, June 25, 2011, at 7:06 AM ET

The summer has gotten off to a bad start for big-name fugitives. After more than a decade on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List, James "Whitey" Bulger was captured in Santa Monica. And Colton Harris-Moore, the Internet-famous Barefoot Bandit, pleaded guilty in Seattle last week. What's next for both of them?prison, namely?is relatively clear. But what was life like before they were caught? Here are six stories about fugitive living:

Whitey Bulger's Life on the Run
Shelley Murphy ? Boston Globe ? January 1998

Three years after skipping town, Bulger was frustrating investigators and endearing himself to neighbors all over the country. He made a particularly good impression with Gautreaux family in Grand Isle, Louisiana, where he spent the winter in 1995 and 1996 with the girlfriend who led to his capture this week.

The Whitey Bulger who was branded a reputed killer, crime boss, and bank robber by the 1986 President's Commission on Organized Crime often shut off the Gautreaux television, lecturing them on how bad it was to expose children to violent shows, including the local news.

This Whitey Bulger wept when a dying puppy was shot in the head to end its suffering. He went fishing once and tossed back all the small fish.

When two of the Gautreaux children came home from school with a note saying they had vision problems, Bulger and his girlfriend, Catherine Greig, bought them glasses

"He was a very nice man," said Penny Gautreaux, a slender brunette who doesn't regret welcoming Bulger into her home. "He treated us like family. He was kind. He really had a nice personality. How could you not love him?"

The Ballad of Colton Harris-Moore
Bob Friel ? Outside ? December 200

A view of the Barefoot Bandit from his hometown.

When you look at the facts, it's easy to understand why he's garnered so much attention: His name is Colt, carrying the gunslinging resonance of the Wild West. He's escaped a jail (albeit a baby jail) and evaded several sheriffs, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and even the FBI for 20 months. He's underdogging it alone in the Northwest wilderness, yet he's followed by bloggers and Facebookers worldwide, the modern equivalent of yesteryear's sensationalized dime-novel hero. During his many close calls, the cops claim Colt has "vaporized," "vanished," and "ran like lightning." When the posse does close in, he allegedly rustles luxury cars, boats, and even planes. And something no one's mentioned is that one of his hideouts on Orcas Island, Madrona Point, is an honest-to-God, can't-make-this-stuff-up ancient Indian burial ground. Hell yeah, this looks like the birth of an outlaw legend.

Vanished
Evan Ratliff ? Wired ? November 2009

Can a writer disappear in America for a month with a $5,000 bounty on his head? Ratliff tried to find out, and found himself with an unnerving amount of free time.

At this point, my new life seemed, superficially at least, satisfactory. My days were spent jogging along the Mississippi, haunting the coffee shops and jazz bars of my adopted neighborhood, and exploring the city by bike. I located a soccer bar and even got a one-night job selling beer and nachos for tips during a Saints game at the Superdome.

The gnawing flaw in the idyllic life of J. D. Gatz was that I did all of these activities alone. It wasn't just that I had no friends. It was that the interactions I did have were beyond superficial. They were fake. My online social networks were populated with strangers; my girlfriend was thousands of miles away; my family knew about me only from news reports and online speculation.

Silence of the Lam
Melanie Thernstrom ? New York Times Magazine ? Dec 2000

The story of how Benjamin Holmes, wanted by the FBI for arson, spent two decades hiding in plain sight. (Also the story of how, when Holmes finally came back to see his wife, she shot him.)

Being a fugitive wouldn't appear to be as exciting as its myriad fictional treatments; the main qualities it requires are patience and paranoia. Holmes seems to have had an abundance of both. It was many months, for example, before he even had a friend send word to his wife that he was alive. He lived briefly an hour away in a friend's apartment in Lorain, Ohio, then moved back to Youngstown and lived in a racing-car clubhouse owned by friends. It was back in his hometown that he perfected his guises. His face had been altered by the burns, his skin lightened. Formerly he had been clean-shaven and bespectacled; he grew a beard and long hair, got contacts and developed a limp. He learned never to look people in the eye when talking to them -- "That's when they really see you."

The Quaid Conspiracy
Nancy Jo Sales ? Vanity Fair ? January 2011

On the run in Canada with Randy Quaid and his wife Evi as the try to evade "the Hollywood Star Whackers":

I found the Quaids sitting in their car outside a Chinese tearoom on a block glowing with red and yellow neon lights. Nobody was around. It was night. Their car, a black Prius, was crammed with stuff?clothes, coats, shoes, papers, a pillow, blankets, and an excitable Australian cattle dog named Doji, who was hoarse from barking while he was in the pound when his owners were being detained by Canadian immigration.

The car smelled of fast food and dog pee and Randy's cigars. I asked the Quaids if they were living in their car. "Only on nights when we're too terrified to leave our stuff or don't feel secure," Evi said. "We used to have a Mercedes. This whole ordeal has forced us to become incredibly green."

A Touch of Eden
Russ Baker ? Esquire ? December 1999

A visit to the French hideaway of Ira Einhorn, co-founder of Earth Day, who had avoided arrest on murder charges for nearly 20 years. Einhorn was extradited to the United State. in 2001 and is now serving a life sentence.

It's remarkable to see him in the flesh. Ira has kept the world at bay for most of the eighteen years since he was accused of murder and took off, vanishing and humiliating the American justice system. Now it's finally closing in on him. Six years ago, he was convicted in absentia. Today, an extradition order sits on the desk of the French prime minister, and authorities in Pennsylvania wait impatiently to bring him back in shackles. But Ira, the master at making the best of a bad situation, is again on top, at least for now. The word is that the prime minister, Lionel Jospin, who has had the paper on his desk since May, has been too busy to affix his signature to it. So Ira sits on the precipice of defeat, a life sentence hanging over his head, yet still frustrating the most powerful country in the world, which should have no trouble enforcing a key agreement with an ally--that criminals who flee punishment will be sent home. For the moment, Ira Einhorn, convicted killer, tends his sumptuous garden here in the South of France.

Could Debt Negotiation Be Still Achievable? | Small Business ...

There are certainly many individuals striving to take care of financial debt concerns and, for almost all of these, the easiest and less cumbersome approach might be to merge their specific debt using a good solid debt consolidation reduction plan. Debt consolidation financial products are actually those particular personal loans from which every one of the debts will be paid back and so migrated to your all new account balance that has discounted interest charges meaning that you are able to afford to come up with your once per month or maybe fortnightly payouts. Similarly, such loans are undoubtedly good for customers which have got insufficient capital management qualities and tend to forget the total number of financial loans they have and the due date for all of them. Having a credit card debt settlement loan product, the person will have to come up with just one single sensibly priced repayment every thirty days.

Once submitting an application for a debt consolidation loan you?ll have the choice of delivering assets for that lending product as well as trying to get an unleveraged lending product. While a wide range of credit card debt negotiation agencies require properties and family homes to be guarantee so that you can secure the credit, these unleveraged lending options come with the shortcomings of enduring immense interest rates. Having said that, for the reason that they?ll have to pick between the dangers of surrendering your dwelling and shelling out a higher sum of money each and every 30 days, it is no mystery why a good number of customers make a decision to try for unguaranteed debt combination financial loans.

When you obtain the agreement for your debt consolidation personal loan, you can expect to need to have all of the additional mastercard profiles closed plus, what?s more, you really should be prepared to view your own credit scores lowering by a handful of pts. In addition, you won?t be given the option to get any alternative advances before this loan has become settled. Of course, if it turns out you carry out your installment payments by the due date your credit ranking would certainly build up step by step. In order to fix your consumer credit rating though, you should refrain from using your visa card, unless you have got an unexpected emergency, and never expect any financing renewal quicker than several months.

Consolidation services are generally yet another strategy that you?re able to take advantage of in order to pay off the debt if you find yourself in trouble. Those firms don?t give you finances, but rather begin negotiating your up-to-date personal loans along with your creditors to be able to get you smaller monthly obligations or perhaps a little short-term monthly payment vacation. More precisely, you?ve got to give the credit card debt negotiation company a sum every month that they should allocate to each creditor. Nonetheless, comparable to for that consolidation loan, you should be prepared to observe your credit standing shrinking.

Any consolidation devices should be given consideration in advance of when you put in a request. Indeed, they can freeze your accounts and wreck your credit ranking however, on the flip side, so will the debt itself.
