Lawyer's Rare-Postcard Hobby Gets Him Disciplined
After a bad bout with Lyme disease that left him mentally impaired, John Rhody gave up his law practice and looked forward to passing his days with a favorite hobby -- old postcards. But he made no mention of this leisure pursuit when he applied for long-term disability insurance benefits and was asked to list his daily activities. That omission drew him a criminal conviction, followed by ethics charges, and the New Jersey Supreme Court's Disciplinary Review Board voted last week to reprimand him.

New Nissan Catalytic Converter Could Save Money
If you?ve ever had your catalytic converter stolen you probably know that the piece of hardware attached to your exhaust contains precious metals like platinum. Nissan has found a way to reduce the amount of expensive components in the converter in half by using nano-technology. It sounds like Star Trek science to us too, but the company says it will roll out its first new car with the less-expensive parts in the next year. All automakers have been plagued by rising commodity prices and always look for ways to save, hopefully passing that on to the consumer. Platinum prices rose 9% from April to June.

Uh Oh, Made Google Drop an 'O'
Posted by identity
I've been meaning to do a "fun" post for awhile, but haven't had the time or gotten around to it. A reality shared by many, no doubt. With the recent launch of the Professional's Guide to Advanced Search Operators, there seemed to be no better time than right now.As everyone here knows, the web is great with all the information that is at our fingertips. The greater challenge is often in making sense of all the moving parts.
Even some of the most basic and easily accessible bits, like indexation, can leave one scratching their head, trying to figure out what is the "right" number. Of course, the reality is that there are no right numbers . . . just right now numbers. On the web though, right now is often measured by the click of a mouse or hitting "Enter."
At best, we often hope to find something that is closer to reality than anything else. It is less about the number, but the relationship of numbers from month to month, and how those numbers compare to the number of URLs we believe "exist" for a site.
Along with the advanced search operators detailed in the guide, there are also parameters that can be appended. In playing around with this several months ago, I couldn't help but chuckle and think that I "broke" Google for a second. Rest assured, Google seems to have recovered nicely, but you too can experience this for your own amusement.
After doing any kind of search, you can append the "num=100" parameter to the query string to get 100 results instead of the default 10. Another useful parameter is the "start=990" that takes you to the last page of the results, without having to click through to the end.
To recreate, just append the following to the URL query string in the address bar of your browser after running a query in Google:
&num=100&start=990
Combining these two not only lead to a result I wasn't expecting - no results - but also a situation that I think Google just wasn’t ready to handle. Poor Google . . . I made it drop an "o" . . . uh oh.
