Morality Quiz/Test your Morals, Values & Ethics - Your Morals.Org Approaches to Qualitative Inquiry Are Private Investigators Being Used to Intimidate New York Attorney General Schneiderman’s Staff? The New York Post has a salacious story about Alisha Smith, a lawyer with the New York attorney general’s office, who is a dominatrix in her private life. Frankly, many of the skills honed by being a domme probably come in handy in litigation (such as knowing exactly how much pain and humiliation to administer when).

People Finder, Free People Finder & White Pages Directory | PeopleFinder.com Koch Industries: Secretly Funding the Climate Denial Machine | Greenpeace USA Billionaire oilman David Koch used to joke that Koch Industries was "the biggest company you've never heard of." Now the shroud of secrecy has thankfully been lifted, revealing the $67 million that he and his brother Charles have quietly funneled to climate-denial front groups that are working to delay policies and regulations aimed at stopping global warming, most of which are part of the State Policy Network. Today, the Kochs are being watched as a prime example of the corporate takeover of government. Their funding and co-opting of the Tea Party movement is now well documented. Charles G.

"This man, James Verone, robbed a bank for one dollar. "This man, James Verone, robbed a bank for one dollar. Why only one dollar? Because he knew that in prison he could get the medical care he could not afford with his part time salary as a convenience store clerk. He was approved for food stamps, but they did little to help his finances. Between his back problems, carpel tunnel, and arthritis, he simply couldn’t handle the pain any longer.
