New Orleans, La. - Superstorm Sandy canceled thousands of flights, crippling travel to and from the East Coast. Some were fortunate to escape the storm's path and landed in New Orleans.
"If you can still hear me, we need you to hunker down and get to the highest point possible in the dwelling that you're in," warned New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Monday.
Gary Bailey of Milltown, New Jersey heard that warning from miles and miles away. "Well, let's put it this way," said Bailey, "I'd rather be here than there."
Bailey is riding out the storm in New Orleans. Having spent seven days without electricity after Hurricane Irene in 2011, he's thankful to be far away from Sandy.
Rich Johnson and Ellen Lucas of Kinnelon, New Jersey feel the same way but they are worried.
"People are saying it's the worst they've ever seen," said Johnson. "We're very concerned, but again, you've got to realize what you can control and what you can't."
"We're worried about what's going on now and the aftermath of the next couple of weeks as everybody tries to dig out from this thing," added Lucas.
Even if they wanted to return home right now, they couldn't. Sandy has grounded thousands of flights.
The flight cancellations are bound to affect businesses in some way, but there is positive news for the local economy. While some people can't get here because of Sandy, others can't leave.
"Well, you have some cancellations and you have some people who are staying over until this whole thing blows over," said Alfred Groos, president and GM of the Royal Sonesta Hotel in the French Quarter.
Groos says people who are watching Sandy from afar might want to consider themselves lucky. "We've been through hurricanes before in New Orleans" Groos said. "We know what they're all about and it's better to be somewhere else, so you might as well be in New Orleans. It's a great place."
The visitors from New Jersey seem to agree. "In spite of everything, you try to have the best time you can in a place that's a great place to have a good time," said Johnson.
Gary Bailed added, "I'm going to have a lot of fun and I'm not going to worry about Milltown, New Jersey."
The visitors say, even though they're trying not to worry about it right now, they are concerned about what they'll find when they return home. They say parts of their state are still trying to recover from Hurricane Irene.

The forecasts are part of the "Louisiana Economic Outlook: 2013 and 2014", written by Scott and his colleagues.
Lafayette is projected to lead the state with a 6.9 percent increase in jobs over the two-year period.
Houma is projected to receive a 6.2 percent gain; Lake Charles, 5.7 percent; Alexandria, 2.7 percent; Baton Rouge, 2.4 percent; Monroe and Shreveport, each 0.8 percent; and New Orleans, 0.6 percent.

VERMILLION, S.D.—Western Illinois guard Ceola Clark hit a running jumper in the lane as time expired to lift the Leathernecks to a 73-71 win against South Dakota in the Summit League opener for both teams.
The game-winner was preceded by a game-tying three-pointer by South Dakota guard Juevol Myles with five seconds left. With no timeouts left on either side, the inbounds pass came to Clark who drove past one defender to reach the lane and got a shot off over a second USD defender that touched nothing but net.
Clark made four, first-half treys and led Western Illinois (4-3, 1-0 Summit) with 20 points. Don McAvoy added 16 and Terell Parks finished with 14 points and nine boards.
South Dakota (3-4, 0-1) scored 52 second-half points against a defense that came into the contest allowing 47 points per game. The Coyotes erased a 14-point deficit early in the second half and a 10-point deficit in less than three minutes at the end, but never got a lead. Myles led all scorers with 21 points.
VERMILLION, S.D. – Idaho State's Lindsey Reed scored 20 points as the Bengals benefited from South Dakota turnovers and shooting troubles to hand the Coyotes a 69-45 loss on Thursday night.
Idaho State (3-2) cashed in off of USD turnovers, scoring 23 points off 19 turnovers and recording 11 steals. South Dakota (2-5) continued to struggle shooting, going 14-for-53 (26.4 percent) over the game.
Tempestt Wilson was USD's leading scorer with a season-high 14 points, while Polly Harrington had 12 points and Margaret McCloud added seven points. Alexis Yackley led in assists with four, and McCloud led in rebounding with nine.
USD battled in the post with the defending Big Sky champions, getting edged in rebounds 43-42 and coming up on the short end of points in the paint, 26-20. South Dakota got to the line more often than Idaho State, and was 15-22 (68.2 percent) from the charity stripe, but Idaho State was 13-18 (72.2 percent).
The Coyote defense made things difficult in the early going for the Bengals. USD held Idaho State to just 28 percent shooting (9-32) in the first half, and had the lead twice. However, USD recorded just one basket during the last 10 minutes of the first half, which Idaho State used to open up a 17-7 run and a 32-22 halftime lead. USD never got closer than eight the rest of the way.
Reed shot 4-for-5 from beyond the three-point arc, 7-for-13 from the floor and scored 10 of Idaho State's first 11 points. Cydney Horton, Idaho State's top scorer this season at 12.3 point per game, scored 12 points and Kara Jenkins tallied 10. Ashleigh Vella led the team in rebounding with 14.
South Dakota will next host Utah Valley (1-6) on Saturday as part of a doubleheader. Tipoff is slated for 5 p.m.

Anderson will not challenge Gessler
Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson will not challenge Secretary of State Scott Gessler in a primary next year, but she has not made up her mind on a possible open seat run.
Anderson talked about her political future with Colorado Community Media on Aug. 17, following a Golden town hall that focused on the sweeping changes to Colorado's election laws the Legislature put in place earlier this year.
Gessler is exploring a gubernatorial run, but has yet to announce whether he will join a Republican field seeking to unseat Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in 2014.
An entry into a race for governor would mean Gessler would not seek reelection for his secretary of state seat.
Anderson said that she will "not run against an incumbent," but that she is keeping all options on the table if Gessler steps aside to pursue a higher office.
"I'm still discussing with my family whether it's the right thing for me to do personally, to run a statewide campaign," she said.
Anderson is the head of the Colorado County Clerk's Association and is seen by many in the GOP establishment as a moderate Republican who would be a change of pace from Gessler, who often is embroiled in controversy and who is seen as a lightning rod in Colorado politics.
"There's lot of people who I respect and admire, and my county clerks that I work with all the time, who I think would be very supportive (of a secretary of state run)," Anderson said. "And the idea is very appealing to me, because I love this stuff."
Anderson and Gessler were key characters who played completely different roles when Democrats were moving House Bill 1303, the Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act, through the Legislature this year.
The sweeping reforms that are a part of the bill will allow for Election Day voter registration and the mailing of ballots to every voter in the state, beginning this fall.
The new laws also shorten residency duration requirements for voting. And it does away with a system where "inactive" voters — those who did not vote in the previous election — do not continue to receive mail-in ballots.
Precinct polling places are replaced with voting centers, where anyone can show up and vote.
Gessler and General Assembly Republicans vehemently opposed the legislation, arguing during either marathon-like committee hearings or formal votes that implementation costs would be enormous for many counties and that Election Day registration begs for fraud to be committed.
State Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, once dubbed the bill, The Same Day Voter Fraud Act.
But Anderson was a key supporter of the legislation. She heads a county clerk's association where 75 percent of its members — a bipartisan group of elected officials — supported the bill.
Anderson told the town hall audience that cases of voter fraud are rare and that a real-time data system will allow election officials to determine if a voter is registered in another state or whether someone is trying to vote multiple times — something that sets Colorado a part from other states that offer Election Day registration.
"We will find out," Anderson said of any attempts by voters to commit fraud. "And you will be having a really spicy conversation with the district attorney and the attorney general (if suspicions are raised)."
At the same time, Anderson admits that she's "not a huge fan of Election Day registration." But it's not because of concerns over voter fraud. Rather, she would prefer voters to take time to study their ballots before casting a vote.
"My ideal is that people read their blue book, think about the issues, and then go into the polling place," she said. "But our Constitution doesn't require an educated voter. It's a constitutional right to access."
Anderson believes that the new election laws will save counties money, across the state. She said that she expects Jefferson County to incur an implementation cost as it moves away from 171 precinct polling place to 24 voting centers. However, other voter maintenance savings will supersede any upfront cost, she said.
Overall, Anderson believes that the new election laws are good for Jefferson County and for voters across the state.
"Every system of voting has vulnerabilities," she said. "What we look at as election administrators is that balance of access and integrity And Colorado is on the cutting edge of that balance."

TPM News
Without the bailout, the country would have lost more than 1 million jobs, and the economy could have slipped from recession into a depression, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said on a conference call with reporters.
"The economic stakes were high, and President Obama understood that inaction was not an option," Lew said. "His decision to commit additional support to GM while requiring them to fundamentally restructure their business was tough but it was right."
The government received 912 million GM shares, or a 60.8 percent stake, in exchange for the bailout in 2008 and 2009. It began selling shares once GM went public again in November of 2010, and the pace picked up this year as the stock rose more than 40 percent. Last month, the government said it expected to sell the remaining 2 percent stake by the end of the year.
GM shares rose 73 cents, or 1.8 percent in after-hours trading following the announcement. They rose 1.8 percent in regular trading, at one point reaching $41.17, the highest level since GM's 2010 initial public offering.
Earlier Monday, Mark Reuss, GM's North American president, told reporters in Warren, Mich., that a government exit would boost sales, especially among pickup truck buyers. GM has said repeatedly that some potential customers have stayed away from its brands because they object to the government intervening in a private company's finances. Because of the bailout, GM had been tagged with the derisive nickname "Government Motors."
During the conference call, treasury officials shrugged off a question about whether GM should have been required to pay more because it has a large cash stockpile, saying that the bulk of the bailout money was converted to GM stock. Not doing the bailout would have cost the government more than it lost in missed tax revenue and payments for unemployment benefits and pensions, the officials said.
The company now is sitting on $26.8 billion in cash and is considering restoration of a dividend.
GM went through bankruptcy protection in 2009 and was cleansed of most of its huge debt, while stockholders lost their investments. Since leaving bankruptcy, GM has been profitable for 15 straight quarters, racking up almost $20 billion in net income on strong new products and rising sales in North America and China. It also has invested $8.8 billion in U.S. facilities and has added about 3,000 workers, bringing U.S. employment to 80,000.
The auto bailout was part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, with the bulk of the money going to financial institutions. Treasury said it spent $421.8 billion on bailouts and so far has recovered $432.7 billion including the loss on GM.
The Center for Automotive Research, an Ann Arbor, Mich., think tank, issued an updated report on Monday saying that if the government hadn't intervened and GM went out of business, nearly 1.9 million jobs would have been lost in 2009 and 2010. Federal and state governments also would have lost $39.4 billion in tax revenue and payments made for unemployment benefits and food stamps, the study said.

Quite like my love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/08
This song really does hit me hard since I gave up a relationship with someone who I loved blindly. She was everything to me and I was completely devout to her. But, as things got worse in our relationship, I really would fall asleep and dream of when our relationship was once great. It was so hard to let her go, but I needed out because of how she started to treat me. I had a hard time the next morning to remind myself that I actually ended the relationship I fought so hard for, and one that meant more to me than the rest of my life.
Meaning behind this song... | Reviewer: SH | 1/9/08
Hm... if i'm not wrong, Jason wrote this song to show his family relationship. His parents are divorced and he's with his mom. The "he" tinnaa mentioned actually was referring to his dad =D
