] Sometimes, Lieberson explains, rather than a concept, ] it's just a sound that catches hold: the ''a'' at the end ] of girls' names (Emma, Hannah, Mia, Anna), or the hard ] ''k'' at the beginning (Kylie, Kaylee, Caitlin, ] Courtney). That breakthrough sound undulates outward, in ] a kind of jazz riff, gradually mutating. So the ''djeh'' ] sound in Jennifer begat Jenna and Jessica, but Jennifer ] also begat Heather and Amber, which share its suffix. ] (Before Jennifer, the only commonly used ''er'' name was ] Esther, which was never a favorite.) Those names went on ] to spawn waves of their own. African-American parents, ] who are more likely than other groups to invent names for ] their daughters -- again, less often for their sons -- ] recently became enamored with ''meek'': Jameeka, Camika, ] Mikayla. (Remember the legendary three ''meeks'' of the ] Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team -- Tamika Catchings, ] Chamique Holdsclaw, Semeka Randall?) I am taking an art class this summer. There are 7 women (no men) in the class. THREE Jessicas. The other two Jessicas are 16. Some trends never change. Where Have All the Lisas Gone? |

] Struggling for control of the gun, Mr. Williams finally ] pulled the trigger and blew a hole in Mr. Collier's hand. ] By today, Mr. Collier had been through three operations ] and lost two fingers, but doctors were trying to save his ] hand, said one of his 22 sisters and eight brothers, many ] of whom had driven down in a convoy from Tunica, Miss., ] to take turns by his side. Yes, the whole Lockheed-Martin guy going apeshit and killing his co-workers is shocking. It's also shocking that someone with that much racial hatred could just EXPLODE like that. But not as shocking as this guy with THIRTY brothers and sisters!!! Jesus!!!! Factory Killer Had a Known History of Anger and Racial Taunts |

] MERIDIAN, Mississippi (CNN) -- A worker armed with a ] shotgun and a rifle went on a rampage at a Mississippi ] aircraft plant Tuesday morning, killing five co-workers ] and wounding eight others before killing himself, ] authorities said. ] ] Lauderdale County Sheriff Billy Sollie said the gunman ] was Douglas Williams, 48, a worker at the Lockheed Martin ] plant on the northeastern outskirts of Meridian, about ] 200 miles north of New Orleans. ] ] He said Williams opened fire during an employee meeting ] at about 10 a.m. Tuesday [11 a.m. EDT]. A company ] official said the gathering was a required annual ] business ethics course. Oh my God, I can TOTALLY see this happening here.. I can name 5 people in my dept. right now who I see doing this very same thing. I particularly like that it occurred during the business ethics course. I feel that way during ethics meetings. Government contract workers are very stressed. Don't mess with them. Workplace shooter described as 'angry' man |
