Patrick Nagle, 48, computer firm owner

He was a “techie” who also liked working with his hands and dealing with people.

Patrick Nagle combined those interests when he started his business, Dunwoody Network Systems, in 2000 after a career as an accountant and corporate controller. He was the sole owner of the business, which specialized in installing and maintaining Microsoft-based systems for professional service firms and small businesses.

Patrick Nagle, here with his dog Riley, was known for an encyclopedic memory and for his people skills.

Mr. Nagle, 48, died of colon cancer Sunday at his home in Dunwoody. The funeral will be at noon today at All Saints Catholic Church in Dunwoody. H.M. Patterson & Sons, Oglethorpe Hill Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.

He had a great memory for obscure facts about a variety of subjects, from automobiles to history, and family members consulted him as if he were an encyclopedia, his wife said.

FDIC Could be as unstable as the banks

Up To 500 Bank Closures Could Absorb FDIC Funds

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Thursday, September 18, 2008

Mark Patterson, chairman of private equity fund MattlinPatterson, told an audience of financial experts at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria this week that the U.S. could suffer up to 500 bank closures and that the chances of a new great depression are now as high as 25 per cent.

Financial conditions are “probably more challenging than at any time since 1929,” Patterson said, speaking at Dow Jones’ Private Equity Analyst Conference this week.

“We’re not in normal times. If you don’t accept that there is at least a 20 to 25 percent chance of a financial markets led depression you’re fooling yourself,” he cautioned, adding that “Saharan-like” credit markets are overwhelming companies.

Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Patterson warned that 300 to 500 U.S. banks are set to fail over the next three years and as a result absorb all of the FDIC’s pool of funds.

McCain Is Not Cool Like Barack

clipper's remarks: But on the other hand, Uncle Jeremiah and Billy the Bomber are definitely very "fly"

Wondering No More Johan Goldberg

[Obama spokesman Dan] Pfeiffer said. "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail."

The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.

In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor.

Some say, So what if he was handicapped? He could still learn how to send email.

Sure, but why would he? Bill Clinton sent two emails during his entire presidency and often admitted he didn't know squat about the internet.

Obama mocks McCain as computer illiterate

John McCain is mocked as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate in a television commercial out Friday from Barack Obama as the Democrat begins his sharpest barrage yet on McCain's long Washington career.

Suggested McCain response - they didn't have email for the five and a half years I was a prisoner in Vietnam... OK, maybe not. [OK, maybe - see UPDATE.]

UPDATE: So much for my attempt at humor - McCain's war injuries make it very difficult for him to type.

But if Obama thinks he has lost the Hopey-Changey mantle to the real reformers who actually take on their own party and work across the aisle, well, this may be worth a try.

Child Support Punishes Good Parents, Mostly Fathers

Child-support cases clog jail

Among the inmates clogging Greenville County's overcrowded jail are parents serving sentences for up to a year for failing to pay child support.

If all 138 were freed, the overcrowding problem would be nearly cut in half. It costs taxpayers $51.78 a day to house each one of them, or about $214,000 for that number of prisoners each month.

"We don't need to be building more jails on account of this population because this is not a population that is dangerous to the public," said Patterson, now a University of South Carolina law professor.

Libba Patterson, the former director of the state Department of Social Services, said most jailed parents don't have the means to comply with the court's order to pay child support.

Bodiford said most of the inmates serving time on child-support citations could be "any guy that could be walking down the street right now." They owe anywhere from less than $100 to tens of thousands of dollars, he said.

Scientists Develop New Computational Method To Investigate Origin Of Life

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:33:15 GMT

clipped by: Mohir
clipper's remarks: "Retroelements are an ancient and highly diverse class of proteins; therefore, they provide a rigorous benchmark for us to test our approach. We are happy with the results we derived, even though our method is in an early stage," said Patterson. The team plans to make the algorithms that they used in their method available to others as open-source software that is freely available on the Web.
Scientists map out the evolutionary histories of organisms by comparing their genetic and/or protein sequences. Those organisms that are closely related and share a recent common ancestor have greater degrees of similarity among their sequences.

Clip Source: www.sciencedaily.com

Scientists at Penn State have developed a new computational method that they say will help them to understand how life began on Earth. The team's method has the potential to trace the evolutionary histories of proteins all the way back to either cells or viruses, thus settling the debate once and for all over which of these life forms came first.

"We have just begun to tap the potential power of this method," said Randen Patterson, a Penn State assistant professor of biology and one of the project's leaders. "We believe, if it is possible at all, that it is within our grasp to determine whether viruses evolved from cells or vice-versa."

The team is focusing on an ancient group of proteins, called retroelements, which comprise approximately 50 percent of the human genome by weight and are a crucial component in a number of diseases, including AIDS.

Why I hate Anthony (For Better Or For Worse)

clipped by: Lexica

Clip Source: shaenon.livejournal.com

If you read comics, you know which Anthony I mean. Very likely you’re already nodding in agreement. I’m talking about Anthony Caine, Elizabeth Patterson’s ex-boyfriend in For Better or For Worse.

I hate Anthony. I hate him more than I’ve ever hated a cartoon character

I’m far from the only one; Anthony supporters appear to be a tiny minority

most of them can’t muster much more enthusiasm than, “Hey, he’s not that bad.”

1. The “Beauty and the Geek” plot, already overused in comic strips.

2. The “childhood sweethearts reunited” plot, already overused in For Better or For Worse.

3. The plodding inevitability of the Liz-Anthony pairing.

4. His stupid moustache.

5. Everyone’s constantly talking him up.

6. He’s boring, whiny and pathetic.

7. He’s not a nice guy; he’s a Nice Guy[tm].

8. The whole storyline with the wife is fucking sexist.

9. Anthony represents the death of youthful dreams.

Cool Cuil Search Engine

Ex-Google staff launch rival search engine, Cuil

A group of former Google employees is hoping to outmanouvre their old boss by developing a rival search engine they claim provides a more comprehensive guide to the web.

Cuil, which went live today, was built by Anna Patterson, a former Google employee who helped create the company's index - the enormous catalogue of web pages which its scours every time someone conducts a query.

Speaking before the launch of Cuil, which is pronounced 'cool'

Cuil had solved that problem by compiling an index three times as large as Google's - searching for results across 120 billion web pages compared with Google's index of 40 billion pages

This is the most promising thing I’ve seen in a while,” Danny Sullivan, editor of the Search Engine Land blog was quoted as saying. "Whether they are going to threaten Microsoft, much less Google

Cuil, which is based in Menlo Park, near San Francisco, has raised $33 million from venture capital investors.

Olympics & The New "It" Girls

Forget about Britney, Christina, Lindsay, Paris and Nicole, and learn the following names, since they will be occupying the media, at least for the next few weeks:

Alicia Sacramone, Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, Carly Patterson, Natalie Coughlin, Samantha Peszek, Bridget Sloan, Chelsea Memmel, Christine Magnuson, Margaret Hoelzer, and many more.

These new "It" girls don't date rock stars, don't suffer from eating disorders and don't even launch their own clothing lines. They all devoted their lives to one goal - bring home Olympic medals. Their entrance into the media spot is so refreshing, and there are several thing I'd like to thank them for:

1. Showing on TV amazingly healthy female bodies. These girls have muscles and tone, they are strong and beautiful at the same time. I almost wish some of them could walk on NY Fashion Week runways in September and show the world that healthy looking woman can be beautiful too, but I bet it's not on their agenda.

SAN FRANCISCO — Anna Patterson's last Internet search engine was so impressive that industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.

She believes her latest invention is even more valuable _ only this time it's not for sale.

Patterson instead intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.

The end result is Cuil, pronounced "cool." Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.

Now, it's boasting time.

For starters, Cuil's search index spans 120 billion Web pages.

Patterson believes that's at least three times the size of Google's index, although there is no way to know for certain. Google stopped publicly quantifying its index's breadth nearly three years ago when the catalog spanned 8.2 billion Web pages.

Cuil: Search engine to ravel Google Launches

clipper's remarks: For one, Cuil has an impressive pedigree with its three founders: Tom Costello of IBM's WebFountain project, plus Anna Patterson and Russell Power of Google's TeraGoogle project, Google's massive search index. Cuil also counts former AltaVista founder Louis Monier -- who later went to eBay and then Google -- as part of the team.

These people know search. In particular, they know on-the-firing line, heavy duty, industrial strength search. Not only that, they're unleashing what appears to be a comprehensive service that anyone can use. Indeed, Google already did a blog post in reaction to Cuil and its size claims on Friday, before Cuil even launched or those claims became public. If Google's paying that much attention, then anyone should.

Clip Source: searchengineland.com

Can any start-up search engine "be the next Google?" Many have wondered this, and today's launch of Cuil (pronounced "cool') may provide the best test case since Google itself overtook more established search engines. Cuil provides what appears to be a comprehensive index of the web, a unique display presentation and emerges at a time when people might be ready to embrace a quality "underdog" service. The big questions now are, how's the relevancy hold up? And can word-of-mouth really still build significant share? [Note: The Cuil site was supposed to be live for searches at of 9:01pm Pacific time on July 27, but so far, I'm still seeing only a holding page. I'd expect this to change fairly soon].
