NEW ORLEANS — While a blimp hovers not too far in the distance, circling over tens of thousands of Super Bowl revelers, Christopher Weaver looks around at the neighbourhood where he was born and raised and almost died.
He loves this place, probably more now than he did back in 2005, before Hurricane Katrina tried to wash it all away.
But it's not much to look at, that's for sure.
"You can see it for yourself," Weaver moaned to a reporter, staring Friday at all the vacant lots, overrun with weeds that are taller than he is, at all the abandoned shells of former homes, many of them still marked with the spray-painted "X" that became the grim symbol of a great American city nearly wiped off the map.
"I'm going to be honest with you," he went on. "It sucks here. Just look across the street. Nothing. Look over there. Nothing."
In many ways, New Orleans has come back stronger than ever since Katrina. The restaurant scene is thriving. The hotels are packed. The Superdome has received a glamorous makeover. The French Quarter rocks into the wee hours night after night.
But, as the Big Easy prepares to host the party-slash-national holiday it does like no other, Super Bowl Sunday, it's worth remembering that life has not yet returned to normal for everyone here.
Not even close.
"It's like a tale of two cities," said Mike Miller, who works with the homeless group Unity of Greater New Orleans. "It's hard to believe that seven years later, it still looks like this."
Just a short ride from the French Quarter, in historic neighbourhoods such as Treme and the Ninth Ward, it's not hard to find a virtual time capsule from the days when Katrina roared ashore. On block after block, there are structures that look pretty much the same as they did after the water receded.
There are the telltale markings that show just how high it climbed when the levees cracked — three feet on this crumbling house, five feet on those remains of a shopping mall, seven feet on that ghostly apartment complex. Those Xs still mark the date many of them were searched, who did the searching and how many bodies, if any, were found.
Where kids once played and neighbours used to hang out together, now all that remains could easily pass for a former war zone.
"It's just hard to believe that every abandoned house, every abandoned apartment, represents a family that never came back," Miller said, shaking his head.
Even after all these years, it all looks so familiar to anyone who remembers those horrific images of people clinging to rooftops and huddled on bridges, waiting desperately for help to arrive.
"You can still see," said Travers Kurr, also with Unity of Greater New Orleans, pointing toward the roof of a boarded-up house, "where people busted out of their attics so they could be rescued."
Weaver was one of those who barely got out alive.
I was born and raised right here. If Katrina comes back again, I'm still not leaving
When Katrina struck, he was looking out a window toward the levee about a block away, the one that was supposed to keep him safe. Instead, he watched it tear apart right before his eyes — and the water come rushing through.
He tried to escape the conventional way, but the pressure from winds howling at well over 100 mph prevented him from opening the door. He busted a window and climbed out, only to get pinned against the wall of his house by the rapidly rising waters. Finally, he went under, sure he was going to die. He held his breath and remembered what his grandmother told him, to always pray to God to forgive his sins.
"Suddenly, something shot me away from that house," Weaver said, convinced beyond any doubt that he's still alive today only because of a higher power.
A neighbour pulled him to safety using a strand of Christmas lights. After 2½ days on a rooftop, they were finally rescued. Weaver still has a nasty scar on his right leg from a cut he got while being tossed about in the turbulent waters.
Despite the unthinkable carnage in the Lower Ninth Ward, Weaver never had any doubt he would return and rebuild, even if it's now clear that so many of his former neighbours and fellow survivors won't be following his lead.
"I was born and raised right here," he said. "If Katrina comes back again, I'm still not leaving."
Miller estimates there are more than 10,000 — and maybe as many as 15,000 — abandoned structures in the New Orleans metro area. Many of them have been commandeered by the city's large homeless population, who slip away in the light of day but leave behind evidence of their existence — dirty clothes scattered about, a bedroll where they slept, empty cans and plastic foam containers from what passed for a meal.
Even amid the lingering devastation, there are hopeful signs of progress. In the Lower Ninth Ward, for instance, construction workers were on the scene Friday at several odd-shaped, energy-efficient homes going up with funding from a group led by actor Brad Pitt.
"I appreciate everything he's doing," Weaver said, though he quickly added that the remnants of Katrina are far, far more prevalent in this part of New Orleans.
Through all the hardship, Weaver doesn't seem the least bit bitter about his plight. He's proud the Super Bowl has returned to his hometown for the first time since Katrina, and he'll be pulling hard for the Ravens to beat the San Francisco 49ers. This being New Orleans, the occasion will be marked with adult beverages and plenty of food — gumbo, red beans and rice, a big pot of crawfish.
But, for all those Super Bowl revelers who might think everything has returned to normal in the Big Easy, Weaver has this message: "Come on over here where I'm at."
It's not far away at all.

Barrel Sponge Xestospongia testudinaria
Giant barrel sponges grow large enough to fit a person inside. Their hard surface is deeply ridged, but their rim is thin and delicate. The barrel sponge belongs to the Demospongiae, the largest class of sponges, containing about 95 percent of sponge species. The skeleton of sponges in this class is made from both scattered spicules of silica and organic collagen called spongin. An almost identical barrel sponge, Xestospongia muta, occurs in the Caribbean.
- Class Demospongiae
- Height Up to 6 ft (2 m)
- Depth 6–165 ft (2–50 m)
- Habitat Coral reefs
- Distribution Tropical waters of western Pacific

I must say that I love my Model S and have really had no issues. The minor ones I have my ranger has a plan and the fix is on its way......but.....I must say, I spent 92,000 on a car and the floor mats that the car comes with are crap. On top of the crap floor mats, they don't even give you floor mats for the back seat. Tesla, come on.....I think I could have my 11 year old daughter make me a better set of mats than what come with the car. What gives...92k and CRAP floor mats???
Got Lloyd ultimate with H graphite and red neon trim for $121 for front 2 and back seat single across. Shouls look great in the black perf. interior with red piping. Just Ask for a discount. I figure I can replace them if they aren't good. I'm not a sloppy driver, ie drive without shoes for more comfort so there is never goo on the driver's floor.
I ordered the Tesla mats...so far I am pleased.
Got the Lloyd ultimates yesterday, they look good. Now all I need is the car ( within 2 weeks)
Earlier comments on this topic have talked about the plastic screws which have a hook on top and are supposed to be screwed into the carpet; then the hook holds down the Tesla floor mat on the drivers side. One person wrote that a small slit is made through the under carpet, another writer said no, you screw into the under-carpet.
I can confirm that the instructions that come with the Tesla mat say to screw it into the carpet, and they say nothing about a small slit, HOWEVER, I could not get my plastic screw to stay put in the under carpet, I could not apply enough force to get it to break through the pile, so it does not succeed in holding down the floor mat. I pushed down hard, and I have a strong arm too, but the screw didn't stick.
Anyone else get this to work?
@WSE51 | MARCH 1, 2013: [...]I could not get my plastic screw to stay put in the under carpet[...] Anyone else get this to work?
Yes, it worked just fine for me. One screw was harder than the other. The carpet flexed a bit, but I used my thumb and forefinger around the hook and pressed down while turning. At worst case, I think you can use something to pierce the carpet first. I think someone drilled a small pilot hole in the carpet.
Some suggest drilling a small pilot hole, just enough for the tip to engage.
@ Alex K's instructions....
Anyone else notice the instructions for installing the rear seat premium mats? "Remove the 2nd row floor mat and install the 2nd row premium floor mat".
What "2nd row floor mat"? ;)
The one they were going to put in before they didn't.
Duct tape for me now as well in my $105k car. It's nice and silvery., but at least people don't have to shove their feet under a drooping mat when they get a ride!
Any solutions for storage inside?
@Glwhittaker - for a cheap storage option check out the Model S delivery checklist. For more expensive/professional versions use http://volkerize.com to search for CCI (center console insert)
produce mats to demand. car mats
Either I am blind or they don't have Tesla on there site?
I got a new set of replacement mats from Tesla when I went in for my 6,000 mile tire rotation. They are clearly an improvement over that originals and included the rear seat as well as the front.

Will this be enough to make the Windows 8 haters happy?
Source: Engadget
As a part of its Build 2014 announcements, Microsoft showed off an interesting twist on its classic Start Menu. Coming to Windows 8.1 in a future update, it has the look of the Start Menu Windows users have experienced for years, but adds the Live Tiles Microsoft has been pushing as a part of Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Terry Myerson made the announcement as part of an example of how universal Windows apps will be able to run in a window (and on Xbox), although users craving something familiar will probably just be happy to see their old Start Menu again.

It's what they should have done in the first place. I'd be much happier deploying 8.1 to my users with a start menu like that. Updating it without completely changing it.
Nooo!!! The Start Screen was great. That will be rubbish on touch screens.
That is how they should have done it. Metro apps are just that, apps. They should run windowed not exclusive.
If you can optionally turn the live tiles off altogether then this would be a good move. Microsoft have to accept that there are many customers who are simply not interested in Apps and are happy with the more 'traditional' method of installing applications.
Let's just hope this becomes the default for Windows 9. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 have had a few noticeable GUI changes which you could argue may confuse users even more. At least with Windows 7 you're guaranteed everyone's desktop looks the same!
Put it this way, I've not come across a single (non technical person) yet who gets or understands what tiles are all about - they just want a clean desktop, however at the same time they do get how the iPad works. The iPad you could argue is more straight forward in layout with big icons, but the tiles are varying in colour and shape... and merged together. It doesn't work as well at all.
i refuse to update now for 8.1 u1 i like my metro interface for my gaming rig, it feels so nice and i know where all is,
however i can see this working in corparte/education
Just to re-iterate a point that may get lost here....
That is all
What they've created would be a good way of moving forward, but no doubt it'll be for Windows 9 as @Gatt wrote which would make more sense. I think Windows 8 is a great OS (it is generally faster than 7), but they just need to tweak the interface.
From what I read about the Update 1 (gizmodo), when doing a fresh install it will customize the experience on if it detects a touchscreen or not. With all the options then being possible to switch on or off to suit your tastes. Ergo, in the future update 2/Win 9 it will probably leave the start screen on for touchscreen and enable the classic start menu for mice enabled PC's. But you could then presumably switch it to whatever you like?
They took their time, but got there in the end
Lets hope this makes it into Windows 9!
From the event I went to at Microsoft a few days ago, it seems Group Polices are on their way out...

Bryan Cranston To Narrate 'The Things They Carried'
Producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman will work together with documentarian Ken Burns to curate an audiobook collection for Audible called Playtone.
The series is named after the three creators' film and television production company, featuring a wide range of books–you can see the complete list of titles below. The series will include Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried narrated by Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston. Check it out:
Other books in the Playtone line are the classic war memoirs With the Old Breed by E.B. Sledge and Helmet for my Pillow by Robert Leckie. These two memoirs, which inspired Playtone's award-winning HBO miniseries The Pacific, are narrated by the actors who portrayed Sledge and Leckie in the series, Joseph Mazzello and James Badge Dale, and both feature introductions by Hanks. Finally, celebrated documentarian Burns (The Civil War, The Dust Bowl) has handpicked a selection of audiobooks covering the past 150 years of American history that has inspired his own work, personally recording introductions to each.

HOPKINS COUNTY, KY - Former X Factor contestant Freddie Combs visited Kentucky and Indiana this weekend and SurfKY News was there to hear his performances. Freddie Combs and his wife, Kay, traveled from Greenville, Tennessee to minister in music and testimony. On their first stop, they were in Nortonville, KY at City Hall for a community concert and fundraiser for House of Hope (of Mannington, KY).
Combs stunned the X Factor judges, audience, and viewers when he appeared on stage in 2012 singing "Wind Beneath My Wings," which he dedicated to his wife who has been his caregiver for quite some time. The two also appeared on the TLC cable network on two reality shows, "Ton of Love" and "Heavily Ever After." Over the weekend, Combs sang his signature song again in Evansville, IN at Howell General Baptist Church. Again, the crowd was in awe; tears fell and hearts were touched. He sang various gospel songs and shared the message that "If God can use me, He can use you."

Enjoy the peace and quiet and unspoiled old world charm of Bornholm, the pearl of the Baltic.
Last year Bornholm, a beautiful Danish island in the baltic, was voted the 13th best Island destination in the entire world by the seasoned world travellers from National Geographic. Bornholm is a wonderful combination of delightful varied landscape and colorful local architechture and quaint little towns and fishing villages. Of the many pictureques towns, Svaneke stand out as being especially well preserved and harmonious market town.
The small town is located on the northeastern corner of bornholm with a outstanding 270 degree view of the spectacular baltic. The town grew from several small natural harbours, and the many colurful traditional half-timbered houses cluster the rocks that gently sloops towards the town church. The towns dedication to preserving its history has earned Svaneke a European Gold medal for Preservation. Besides the many old houses the town can boost two traditional windmills, a canon armed bastion a old operating lighthouse and nice lite sand beach. The town offers shopping as food as well as arts and crafts several restaurants and traditional gourme production of sweets and ale.
The rest of Bornholm many attraction are all with in easy reach by car or bike.
In this peaceful old world setting I offer a small traditional half-timbered rustic rental cottage. The cottages is perfect for a couple but sleeps four via 2 single moveable beds on the first floor and a dubbel sleeping couch in the living room. The house offers TV set for dvdplayer, broadband internet and a cozy fireplace. In connection to the cottage you will find a charming little stone fenced garden in several levels and with old trees like chessnut and exotic fig.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Yahoo Mail is getting a dramatic makeover that promises faster, sleeker e-mailing
Yahoo Mail Beta reveals an extreme makeover, with a new interface that mimics popular desktop e-mail clients such as Microsoft Outlook. The welcome changes are more than skin-deep; reading, sending, and organizing e-mail messages are faster and more intuitive in this redesign. The new AJAX-driven service uses the core technologies of Oddpost, an e-mail client swallowed by Yahoo last year. Right now, the Yahoo Mail Beta service is available to a limited number of testers.

Saala wanted tha to photo kheenchne ke baad use jaane kyon diya ?
A sardar on an interview for the post of detective was asked a
Interviewer – Who killed Gandhiji ?
Sardar – Thanks for giving me the job, I will investigate.
Sardar returns book to library, bangs it on table & says – What a
shit? "I read the whole book, too many character, no story at all" ?
Librarian : So, you are the one who took the Telephone
2 Days of Powercut in India made life miserable. Worst affected
was Amritsar where all the SARDARS were stuck for 48 hrs. on Escalaters…..
Two Sardars are driving a Car, one puts on the indicator and asks
the other to check whether it is working. He puts his head out and
says – YES..NO..YES..NO..YES..NO
Sardarji, tell me …., what is the meaning of SMS ?
Sardar angrily said, i know – it means….
S – Sardaron ke
M – Mazak udane ki
S – Service
Banta : Oye to har SMS ko do baar kyom bhej raha hai ?
Santa : Kyunki tujhe agar ek forward karna ho to dusra tere paas
Sardar goes to a shop to buy underwear –
After selecting one, the shopkeeper tells it costs Rs 150.
Sardar – Arre bhai, Daily wear dikhao, Party wear nahi
Despite the vaunted rhetoric, the Firefox Four might be waging an uphill battle. A recent Forrester report on Web browsers found that Internet Explorer still dominates – by far. AOL follows IE in a distant second place, with Firefox, Opera, Safari, and other alternative browsers scrapping for what is left.
Styling themselves as political activists, a Massachusetts group has launched a concerted effort to inveigle Internet Explorer users to switch to the Firefox Web browser. The focal point of the movement is a site called ExplorerDestroyer.com.
In addition to talking up the strengths of Firefox, the site highlights a new Google AdSense program that offers $1 to online publishers for every referred netizen who downloads Firefox.
1) Microsoft — Has project till 2050.
2) EDS — Most secured company in india. Not laid off any of its employess even during 2001. Has lots of projects in Defence and financial areas . Basically a gud company to be in. Also called as a retirement company.
3) HP — Dream company. Inhouse and outside projects
4) TCS — A govt. IT company. Secured.
5) ACME — Doing good as ever. Lots of project. Attrition rate is almost negligible. Good work environment..
6) WIPRO — Recently acquired GM project .So doing better.
1) IBM — Right now this is the most firing and dangerous company for IT professionals. From the last 6 months, this company fired nearly 20% of their employees because of BG check and performance issues. This is most unsecured company from IT professionals point of view. They didn't have any strategic plans at HR policies regarding employee security.
2) Accenture — This is second top most firing company. This company was also have good firing rate like 15%. This is basically depends upon outsourcing, so there is no job security for an employee in this company.
3) Intel — Recently they started firing of the employees.

Security experts are concerned over the increasing vulnerability of the Mac operating system to virus attacks. Once almost immune to viruses and malware, Mac users are finding that they too are falling victims of online criminals, like Windows system users.
Security experts have pointed out flaws in Mac OS X that make Mac users easy targets of online attacks. For example, there is high probability that a hacker or a virus creator can surreptitiously access Macs and run malicious code without the user even knowing about it.

An authentication system is how you identify yourself to the computer. The goal behind an authentication system is to verify that the user is actually who they say they are.
Once the system knows who the user is through authentication, authorization is how the system decides what the user can do. A good example of this is using group permissions or the difference between a normal user and the superuser on a unix system.

After doing episodics and reality shows the pretty model turned actress is back to doing a full fledged role in Ye Hai Mohabbatein on Star Plus. Playing the role of Shagun who is married to Raman (Karan Patel) and mother to li'l Ruhi (Ruhanika Dhawan), Anita's entry has added to the excitement to the show.
Anita was last seen in a mature love story in the episodic Yeh Hai Aashiqui after which she had a dream wedding in Goa last October. Taking off on a long break for her honeymoon and New Year the actress got back to work and still sounds in a daze as she tells us about her vacation, "I had gone to Maldives and Dubai and I have just got back from my longish break during which I combined my honeymoon and New Year."
It is obvious that she is enjoying her newly married life, "Yes, married life is lovely. I like being married since I like all the things associated with it. I like cooking, going grocery shopping, spending time at home, taking care of household matters... so I am comfortable being married. Actually my elder sister got married at the young age of 19 years and I have seen her life as a housewife and I have picked up stuff from her," reveals Anita.
So what prompted her to take up this assignment which will keep her busy and away from home? "I cannot just stay at home and need to work. When Ekta Kapoor conceived this show she had me in mind for this character and I am glad that I could do something like this. It is a grey character with many more shades to it and it is something different which I have never done earlier. It is a challenge to play this rather than playing just a bahu which I have done many a times."
Apart from this show, Anita is also busy with her Punjabi film 'Yaara Da Ketchup' where she again plays a simple, loving doting wife. Telling us more about the same Anita says, "Currently, I am busy completing the shoot for my Punjabi film and after it gets over I will be committed for 20 days a month for this show since this role is not a cameo but a full-fledged role which will go on for long."
That leaves her no time for reality shows or any other work says Anita, "In fact this year I was offered Nach Baliye season 6, but I did not take it up since my husband Rohit Reddy who is not from the entertainment industry said a point blank no to it since it didn't excite him and I respect his decision. Even I would prefer doing a serious dance reality show like Jhalak Dikhla Jaa rather than Nach Baliye. However, all said and done when you are doing a daily soap there is no time left to do anything else, so it depends on my state of mind at the time of getting the offer since you cannot plan in advance."
At present Anita who has her hands full is trying to balance both - her house and work says, "This is all very new to me but thankfully there is no pressure as such from anyone. Rohit too has lived alone in Mumbai so he can manage on his own if the need be. We share a relationship wherein we are more like friends and compatible."
Anita who plays a mother in Ye Hai Mohabbatein says she likes being with kids, "I love kids and connect with them very easily." However she blushes when asked when she will start a family in real life, "No plans of starting a family as yet... I don't know, not so soon." Prod a little more and she says, "Let's see... There is nothing planned as such maybe be 3 years down the line," concludes Anita with her sweet smile.

The New York Film Critics turned out to give their awards for the best of the best films of 2012. NY1's George Whipple filed the following report.
The New York Films Critics handed out their awards to the best films of 2012 at a recent Chelsea ceremony. Rachel Weisz won the coveted Best Actress award for her role with "The Deep Blue Sea."
George Whipple: How do you prepare for that heart-wrenching role? Weisz: I don't really prepare, I just sort of get lost in the story. You can't really... I didn't go out and do research on being lovesick, no. It's just imagination and they're such beautiful words and it's such an incredible story and Terence Davies is such a wonderful director. I got lost in the make-believe.
The Best Supporting Actress was Sally Field for her portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln in "Lincoln." Whipple: Who is Mary Todd Lincoln? What should we know about her?
Field: She's sort of up there on the screen. She's a very complicated, under-examined, under-appreciated, and like I say, extremely complicated but important woman in American history. Had there not been a Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. That's just simply a fact.
Best Supporting Actor was Matthew McConaughey for his roles in "Magic Mike" and "Bernie."
Whipple: "Bernie," I just saw that this weekend. It's actually a brilliant movie and I hadn't heard much about it...what was it like playing that role?
McConaughey: It was my third time to work with Richard Linklatter, the director. He gave me my first job in '92 in a film called "Dazed And Confused." That old movie, I loved that script because it felt like a nice, long, 200mm lens giving you people a view behind the pine curtain that is East Texas, which is actually where myself and Rich are from. Those people, those places that most of the nation don't know about, they live behind this pine curtain in East Texas and very few of them ever get out of there.
The foreign press have made their Golden Globe nominations and the New York Film Critics have handed out their awards, and it's all just one step on the way to the Oscars.

text: There could not have been a more fitting ending. Senior Betsy Sedlak recorded the block to give UC Davis a 3-0 win over Pacific, drawing cheers from the crowd as the Aggies finished their season with a victory. It was the final game in the career of both Sedlak, who leads UC Davis in career hitting percentage at .336, and fellow senior Katie Denny, who has been a fixture of the UC Davis lineup for four years. The match got off to a bit of a rocky start for the Aggies, but they battled Pacific to secure a 25-21 victory in the first set. UC Davis then followed that with a 25-22 second frame triumph before finishing things off with a 25-23 third set. "Figuring out the game as it was being played was key for us," said coach Jamie Holmes. "I was proud that our players were able to pick up on [Pacific's] weaknesses and exploit them."

Ex-Morton teacher says student porn 'appalling,' gets 12 years in prison
By Teresa Auch Schultz email@example.com/(219) 713-7818 September 26, 2013 5:36PM

Updated: October 28, 2013 7:40AM
A former Morton High School math teacher who admitted to possessing pornographic images of two of his students will serve 12 years in prison.
Speaking in a breaking voice, Jon Erik Lilly, 28, of Cedar Lake, apologized to his victims, their families and his own family during his sentencing hearing Thursday at U.S. District Court in Hammond.
"What I've done as a teacher is truly appalling," Lilly, wearing an orange jail outfit, told U.S. District Judge Rudy Lozano.
Lilly pleaded guilty in June to two counts of receiving child pornography. Federal attorneys have said in court filings that Lilly asked several students to send him what the students assumed were naked pictures of themselves. One of the victims who did so, identified only as Jane Doe 1, also began a sexual relationship with Lilly when she was 17 last year. The second victim, Jane Doe 4, said Lilly followed her on Twitter when she was 16. She asked him to stop but then started texting with him after he told her she was one of his better students. He then asked her to send him a picture, and she sent him several, including ones of her naked. She stopped, she told police, after Lilly winked at her in school.
Lilly promised Judge Lozano he wouldn't commit his crimes again, noting that he's lost his teaching job because of it. He asked for leniency and said he still believed he could contribute to society.
"I know I can do well again in the future," Lilly said.
His attorney, L. Felipe Sanchez, said his client had cooperated from the beginning with police and reached out to the government about pleading guilty.
"He told me he wanted to man up and face the consequences of the mistakes that he made," Sanchez said during the hearing.
Lilly's father, Jon C. Lilly, also spoke, saying that although he did understand his son needed to be punished for his "monumental lapse of judgment," he didn't understand why such a long sentence was needed.
"Your honor, my son has value; he is not a throwaway," his father said.
Sanchez did not ask for a specific sentence but asked instead that Lozano sentence Lilly to a term that would allow him to continue to live his life once freed. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jill Koster urged Lozano to grant the 12-year sentence that the government agreed to recommend as part of its plea deal with Lilly and said she was "disappointed" that Lilly and Sanchez had not asked for it, also. The sentence was less than the 168 months to 210 months that sentencing guidelines recommended and was less than the mandatory minimum of 15 years to 30 years in prison if the government had instead charged him with producing child pornography, which Koster said the government had the evidence for. However, Koster said, she thought the sentence was fair, especially considering Lilly agreed to plead guilty before he was charged.
She noted that Jane Doe 1, who has said in the past she loves Lilly, was groomed by him and would have to live with what happened for the rest of her life. She added that Lilly had two victims, had asked multiple students for photos and was seen by other students flirting with girls in his class.
"We can't allow our school teachers to hit on our students," Koster said.
He also did not cooperate right away, as Sanchez argued, instead lying to police until they found evidence on his and the students' phones and computers, Koster said.

Full wall slides are a relatively new concept being offered on class A coaches today. These offer a big visual increase to the size of the interior when they are deployed, as they would be at a camping site. Some makes have floor plans that offer these extended slides opposed, one on the driver side and one on the passenger side. These certainly are impressive when you first walk in. Their ability to "wow" you with a spacious feeling is immediately evident.
But, do they really provide much more interior living space? Maybe not, if compared to a four slide model. If you measure the length of each slide on some four slide units, you may find that the aggregate total length of either side not that much different from that of the full wall slide models. Therefore, many full wall slides may not really be providing additional square footage of living space, just a different way of presenting it.
Sometime ago I posted a query on the forum looking for comments from members on their thoughts on full wall slides. There was very good participation, including a few full wall slide owners, with many well thought out views and ideas. Some of these were as follows.
- More interior living space, or at least the feeling of.
- Less slides to deal with.
- Most current owners have no issues and love them.
- Loss of some storage under slide due to lower basement ceiling.
- Access to basement storage more difficult beneath slide.
- Can not position tree or other object between slides for more door side room.
- Additional weather sealing challenges given the immense size.
- Structurally unproven for service needs over high mileage or age.
Wait a minute. Loss of basement space, and more difficult storage access? But if a particular four slide has approximately the same linear footage as that of the full wall slide, what's the difference? Well, most four slide models have their rear slides over the rear axle(s) and wheel wells where there is no storage anyway.
The full wall slide models available appear primarily to be "bath and a half" models on many makes. On these, they may make perfectly good sense as no slides can be used on the rear head area on a diesel pusher. This is due to the engine, radiator and related components requiring all the below floor area. So this bathroom extends this non-slide area considerably forward to the bath/bedroom wall location reducing the ability to have a reasonable sized bedroom slide.
There is however one thing I'm not completely clear on. What exactly is the true definition of a full wall slide. Is it the overall length, a certain length ratio when compared to the coach size, or is it just a manufacturer's name for an oversized slide? One thing is for sure. It is not really even near a full wall slide, but more like a two thirds slide when compared to the vehicle length.
So, is this soon to be the standard in the industry? Will the multi-slide coach eventually be a thing of the past? Only time will tell. How they will perform in time, and how they will be perceived by future buyers, will inevitably be the driving force. It is doubtful that it would be practical for a manufacturer to produce both on each and every model. This would probably not be financially viable.
So, what are your thoughts on this topic? Do you have a full wall slide now, or will you want one on your next coach?

Rear Bath And A Half Floor Plans
April 27, 2008 by Lug_Nut · 64 Comments
Changes and new innovative ideas are showing up in floor plans each year in all types and sizes of recreational vehicles. One of these newer floor plans, that started showing up, in the larger class "A" coaches several years ago, was the bath and a half. This design incorporates a mid ship two piece and a full rear three piece. This particular set up has become increasingly popular within the last couple of model years and is now offered on many models and makes of 40′ and up coaches. The increase in headroom on many coaches helped make this possible as the engine is beneath the rear bathroom floor and required a higher floor in a large portion of the room. Most, if not all, are found in vehicles equipped with a tag axle. This is due to the additional rear overhung weight.
The surprising thing you first notice when entering a bath and a half is that this extra full width dedicated bathroom does not seem to infringe on the size of any other room or area. That's because the bedroom and living area depth may in fact only be several inches shorter. But how is that possible? There must be something missing, a trade off of sorts. But, as you walk through it at an RV show, there seems to be no question, there is nothing missing. A quick walk through a non-bath and a half of the same make and model confirms the same thing. The bedroom and living/kitchen area appear only marginally deeper, perhaps less than a foot or so at most. Certainly not enough to make up for a rear bathroom, that is somewhere around five or six feet deep.
So let's look closer and see where they get this extra space.

The story of Elio Motors goes back many years, but it has managed to stay well below the radar, mostly because there hasn't been much news. This has changed.
Back in 2009, a reader pointed out that Elio was looking for DOE funds, but since then we haven't hears much about the company that apparently thinks the Corbin Sparrow is a good vehicle to copy. This week, it was announced that Elio has reached an agreement to buy an old General Motors plant near Shreveport, LA and is now taking reservations. Elio claims it will hire 1,500 workers by April to build funky-looking, three-wheeled, high-efficiency vehicles. How efficient? The company website talks about 84 miles per gallon for a price of just $6,800. We've heard a ton of promises in the green car world in the past, but those numbers are certainly noteworthy – should they ever be reached.
The plant in question is the GM Shreveport Assembly and Stamping plant in Caddo Parish and the Detroit Free Press says Louisiana will likely provide some financial help to get the non-union shop started. The first deliveries of the tadpole-style vehicle (possibly called the Trikke) are supposed to take place in July 2014. Company SEC documents (available here) show that last year, Elio raised $150,00 (out of a hoped-for $10 million). The car will come with a three-year, 36,000 mile warranty.
The Elio trike will apparently be available with either a manual or automatic transmission and have some creature comforts like airbags, air conditioning and ABS brakes. That's much more than most motorcycles (which is what the Elio technically will be) but not as much as many cars today. Elio also says it expects to get five-star crash ratings, but motorcycles don't get crash tested in that way, so we're not sure what this means.
There are two videos about Elio below.

A01656 Memo:
BILL NUMBER:A1656 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to the confinement of certain animals for food producing purposes PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill will phase out pig gestation crates and veal crates cages by 2016. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one subdivision one amends the agriculture and markets law by adding a new section 353-e that defines the terms employed for the purposes of this bill. Subdivision two would make it unlawful for any person to confine any covered animal in a manner that prevents them from lying down, standing up and fully extending its limbs and turning around freely. Subdivision three lists exemptions to the rules set forth in the previous subdivision, Subdivision four would make any violation of the provisions of this section a Class A misdemeanor. Subdivision five provides that nothing contained in this section shall conflict with humane local laws. Subdivision six stipulates that nothing in this section shall reduce the protection afforded to animals or the enforcement of such protection. Subdivision five sets out the enforcement mechanism for this section. Section two sets out the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Harsh confinement within confinement crates and cages deprives calves and pigs of the ability to engage in natural behavior. Animals confined in such circumstances experience extensive and significant physical and psychological trauma: Nationwide, about one million calves raised for veal and six million breeding sows (female pigs) suffer nearly their entire lives inside tiny crates so small the animals can't even turn around. According the Humane Society of the United States, veal factory farmers separate calves from their mothers within the first few days of birth and cram them into individual crates or stalls, tethered by their necks. Inside these enclosures, the calves can barely move. Breeding sows suffer under similar circumstances. Gestation crates board pregnant pigs for nearly their entire four-month pregnancy. These tiny metal crates are not even large enough for the pig to move or perform natural behaviors such as cleaning themselves or simply turning around. Veal and pork producers nationally are already in the process of phasing out veal and gestation crates. All veal producers have set a deadline of 2017 for themselves to phase out veal crates. In January 2007, Smithfield, the nation's largest pork producer, announced that they would phase out the confinement of pigs over the next decade and Cargill, the nation's eight biggest pork producer, has also stated that it is working on phasing out confinement. Bans on gestation crates are not without precedent. In 2002, Florida voters banned gestation crates in a 55-45%- vote. In 2006, Arizona voters banned both gestation crates and veal crates in a 62-38.'6 vote. In 2007, the Oregon legislature banned gestation crates and in 2008, the Colorado legislature banned both gestation crates and veal crates. Finally, this past November, California voters passed Proposition 2 which banned gestation crates, veal crates and battery cages by a 63.536.5% vote. The entire European Union has also banned both veal crates and gestation crates, effective 2007 and 2013, respectively. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A.9449 of 2012 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect January 1, 2016.Go to top

Tian, Jia, Chen, Xun and Dong, Shen-Ping (2005) Multi-Modal Reasoning Medical Diagnosis System Integrated With Probabilistic Reasoning. International Journal of Automation and Computing, 2 (2). pp. 134-143. ISSN 1476-8186Metadata only available from this repository.
In this paper, a Multi Modal Reasoning (MMR) method integrated with probabilistic reasoning is proposed for the diagnosis support module of the open eHealth platform. MMR is based on both Rule Based Reasoning (RBR) and Case Based Reasoning (CBR). It is not only applied to the identification of diseases and syndromes based on medical guidelines,but also deals with exceptional cases and individual therapies in order to improve diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, a new rule expression frame is introduced to deal with uncertainty, which can represent and process vague, imprecise, and incomplete information. Furthermore, this system is capable of updating the attributes of rules and inducing rules with a small data sample.

People stay in relationships for almost every reason under the sun. But what about people who stay in a relationship strictly for sex? Sure, it's immature, but getting beyond that, is there really any harm? Great sex ranks differently on many people's relationship values lists, and therefore figuring out whether it's okay to stay together for sex is a much trickier question than it initia...

Sen. Kurt Schaefer was asked recently on KBIA's "Intersection" about Missourians who will remain uninsured after the legislature's failure to expand Medicaid. He replied that in Columbia one can go to the Family Health Center and get "everything from dental care to chemotherapy there," that uninsured people currently receive care at hospitals when needed and that "the population is generally covered, it's a question of how you pay for it." This reply is factually incorrect and shows a disregard for the unmet health care needs of hundreds of thousands of Missourians, including thousands in Boone County.

Bedale Lamp:
This product is manufactured in compliance with U.S. standards. If product is to be used outside of the U.S., use only with the appropriate outlet adapter and voltage converter for your country. Do not plug into an electrical outlet higher than 110-120V as this could result in fire and/or injury.
Because this product ships directly from a 3rd party vendor, the above delivery window may vary for international customers.
Material: Reclaimed elm/linen
Brand: Zentique
Origin: Imported
If you're drawn to simple, elegant furniture inspired by Old European design traditions, look no further than Zentique. Based in Georgia, Zentique uses unpainted wood, recycled metals, and organic materials to create furnishings that reinterpret French Country designs; one of the company's elegant sofas is even named the Louis XVI, after the famously deposed French monarch. Though inspired by antique, classic styles, Zentique furniture also possesses a modern, industrial aesthetic: Tables, chairs, counter stools, and other practical pieces feature minimal ostentation and would look as appropriate in a Stockholm flat as in an Aix-en-Provance cottage. And Zentique's range of lighting options spans both the continents and the centuries, from the antique-looking Paris Wall Clock to the contemporary-looking Bamboo Basket Hanging Light.

|Illicit Narcotic Economies and State Fragmentation: Colombia and Afghanistan
|Cheng, Huixin Shirley
Department of Government and International Relations
|Issue Date:
|This thesis argues that the illicit narcotics economy in Afghanistan and Colombia is the central force fragmenting state power through two main processes of internal regression and external attack. Internal regression refers to the capture, infiltration and corruption of the state by the drug industry that impairs effective state function. External attack refers to the territorial control, coercive force and political legitimacy that the illicit economy provides non-state armed actors. In this way, I contend that the fragmentation of state power by the illicit narcotics economy is two- fold. First, it diminishes state power in absolute terms - hindering the effective state function in terms of key institutions. Second the illicit narcotics reduces state power in relative terms - drug rents providing for the growth in reach and operational capacities of non-state power rivals when the state at the same time is losing its own.
