A 20-year-old city woman convicted of manslaughter for her role in the chilling golf course sex slaying of 13-year-old Nina Courtepatte is a borderline psychopath.
The killer, who cannot be identified because she was 17 at the time of the April 3, 2005, slaying, also poses a high risk to re-offend and shows little remorse and little empathy for the victim, says a psychiatrist who assessed her.

It has been a month now since the Signs editors engaged in a little exercise of connecting the dots: we noticed a number of high level meetings of some of the most prominent Axis of Evil personalities, and thinking it likely that there is an important reason for the activity, we published our observations here.
We have decided to make this a periodical effort of 'joining the dots', hoping to make sense of the avalanche of information that comes our way on a daily basis. It may help us to detect trends, and to understand which way the drivers are steering this bus called Planet Earth.
Well, judging by the events of April, it seems that they are taking us towards a cliff, and it is rapidly approaching.

Browsing the shelves of a bookstore this afternoon I came across The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's - A Secret History of Jewish Punk (2006) by Steven Lee Beeber. Jewish Punk? - that stood out! The inside fly reads:
"Focusing on punk rock's beginnings in New York, this book is certain to change how we view not only punk music and culture, but the nature of Jewish identity since the Holocaust....Originally known as New York Rock, punk began in that city because it could begin nowhere else - it was all about outsiders in the shtetl-like East Village. Wiseasses with sharp minds and wounded psyches; it reflected the irony, the romanticism, and, above all, the humor of the Jewish experience."
