Harold Samuel Cohen is 31 years old and still living with his parents in a traditional Jewish home. To make matters worse, Cohen works for his father as an office manager, earning a pitiful wage, and the friction between the two is growing. Cohen can’t afford to move out, and bored with the office job, he decides to apply for a career as a police officer. When Cohen learns his application has been accepted, his mother is terribly disappointed. Jewish boys grow up to be doctors and lawyers, not police officers! After successfully graduating from the police academy, Cohen is assigned to Ludwig Borman, his field training officer, who is rumored to be an anti-Semite raised in post-World War II Germany. This is where the trouble begins, as a series of twists and turns and unexpected circumstances lead Cohen to wonder if he is truly destined for law enforcement. Cop Cohen offers a combination of light wit, deep characters, and the true grit of police work, making it a powerful and entertaining debut novel.

The FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives - Federal Bureau of Investigation. Includes a Chronological Listing of The FBI's “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” March 14, 1950 - March 1, 2010. Gone are the days when “Top Ten” posters could be found in post offices. Since 1996, “Top Ten” posters have appeared on the FBI's Internet site, www.fbi.gov, allowing the FBI to extend its reach across domestic and international borders and obtain worldwide public assistance tracking these fugitives. Traditional media outlets, such as radio programs, television shows, and printed publications provide additional publicity for the fugitives on the list. However, with the increased use of electronic and digital technology, the FBI has turned to some nontraditional and cutting-edge techniques to publicize the fugitives on the “Top Ten” list. Digital outdoor billboards appearing throughout the United States now feature images of these individuals. The FBI also has a Facebook page and a Twitter account where friends and followers can instantly receive information about the latest fugitives on the list. The weekly Wanted by the FBI podcast, FBI widgets, and a cell phone application all allow the public to download the latest fugitive information at the touch of a button.As technology advances, the FBI intends to keep pace and continue using it as much as possible to profile fugitives and engage the public's help in locating them.

Any sound practical philosophy must be clear on practical concepts—concepts, in particular, of life, action, and practice. This clarity is Michael Thompson’s aim in his ambitious work. In Thompson’s view, failure to comprehend the structures of thought and judgment expressed in these concepts has disfigured modern moral philosophy, rendering it incapable of addressing the larger questions that should be its focus. In three investigations, Thompson considers life, action, and practice successively, attempting to exhibit these interrelated concepts as pure categories of thought, and to show how a proper exposition of them must be Aristotelian in character. He contends that the pure character of these categories, and the Aristotelian forms of reflection necessary to grasp them, are systematically obscured by modern theoretical philosophy, which thus blocks the way to the renewal of practical philosophy. His work recovers the possibility, within the tradition of analytic philosophy, of hazarding powerful generalities, and of focusing on the larger issues—like “life”—that have the power to revive philosophy. As an attempt to relocate crucial concepts from moral philosophy and the theory of action into what might be called the metaphysics of life, this original work promises to reconfigure a whole sector of philosophy. It is a work that any student of contemporary philosophy must grapple with.
