Jeff The Killer X Reader 7 minutes in Heaven
A sharp edge cut a few layers of your skin you flinched and grabbed the sides of the metal object, pulling the item out it shined dully. It was a slightly heavy knife with a slightly damaged hilt, you looked over it for a few seconds before asking who it belonged too.
"Who's is this?" you asked, a man walked towards you. He had long black hair, singed eyelids, pure white face and a smile sliced in his cheeks. Jeff The Killer.
"Thats mine" he took the knife from you putting the seasoned weapon into his hoodie pocket, Splendor gave you a slightly worried look but soon returned to his bubbley mood.
"Right this way you two" he led you towards what could only be a broom closet due to lack of space and door size.
You felt the killer's eyes bearing down on you as you entered the compressed space, you were pressed against each other pretty much. Jeff smiled as the light began to fade until a single beam lit the broomcloset.
"Remember only 7 minutes and Jeff" he looked towards the Splendorman" She'll already beautifully, no 'changes' " he closed the door leaving you in complete darkness the room was tall and thin, in no time it felt heated.
The door clicked and locked leaving you in the darkness with an armed and psychotic killer.
"So whats your name?" Jeff asked in the darkness, he shifted slightly before you answered.
"(Name)" you replied, trying to scoot or even inch away from him which was entirely impossible.
"You should already know me, but I have a suggestion for you" he sounded closer than before, it felt as if he was just inches away you became flushed.
"W-what is it?" you hoped he wouldn't say ' you need more sleep'
"You should smile more" you yelped as Jeff squished your cheeks with his hand, bring his face closer to yours.
You put your hands against his chest fearing the knife in his pocket, your eye looked into his in the darkness. He pulled you forward more and kissed you gentley, which scared you to death that he was being gentle.
"Lets make some noise~" Jeff growled, you quivered feeling his pressence becoming more aggressive.
"Wha-" Jeff slammed you against the door, knocking some of the wind out of you, you heard people on the outside whistling and Ben yelled 'Get some!' from the outside.
That sure egged Jeff on to make more noise. He smashed his lips into yours holding your risk above your head, he wasted no time and forced his tounge into your mouth. His hip bucked into yours making the door buckle, you held onto him.
"Louder" he groaned kissing your neck caressing you sides, he bit down lightly on your neck leaving noticable bite marks on your neck.You moaned softly as he continued making you blush a deep scarlet.
You started let out breathless moans you hated loud sexual noises , Jeff grinded into you making your warmer if possible.
Letting go of your wrists your hands lifted up his shirt wanting to touch him as well, he had a strong chest littered with scars, small dimples were where abbs would soon be.
You felt your nose tingle with a burning sensation, Jeff slowly began to lift your shirt over your head. You lightly rubbed one of his scars, his skin there was sensative his breath hitched.
He picked up your left leg grinding into you harder, you felt him getting hard under his pants. It was getting very intense in this cramped space making you both anxious, Jeff unzipped his jacket beguining to knead your breasts. You moaned, Jeff teased the flesh of your neck. You held onto him, your hand lost in his raven hair. This feeling was amazing.
"Jeff (Name) please make your selves proper I'm opening the door" Splendorman said from the other side of the door, with red faces you fixed yourselves up the best you could. Jeff kissed your cheek as the door opened, you squinted in the light. BEN popped out of thin air and snapped a picture blinding the both of you.
"Ben! You little fucker!" Jeff yelled at him, since Jeff couldn't close his eyes he was probably seeing stars and sparkles right now chasing the perverted demon.
You laughed coming out, turning red when you finally relized your neck was covered with Jeff's love bites. This was cetainly a night you would never forget.
Half way up the door opened, you squeezed your eyes shut at the sudden light. Opening them Jeff was ontop of you and you could see a flushed Slpendorman looking down at you.
"My goodness you both must've had fun" you hid as many love bites as you could from everyone and once Jeff finally returned, he smooched your cheeks and that night was definantly unforgettable.

Bernie and Linda:
We had a fabulous stay at Bayside. We have been going to Islamorada for years and this was by far our favorite place to stay. Having our boat outside our back door was really great. The other guests and owners were friendly and helpful. We would like to stay again next year for the same week or later in December........

You're minutes away from the best back country (bonefish, tarpon,
permit, snook, redfish), blue water (sailfish, dolphin, wahoo, cobia)

available year round since our area of the bay is well protected.
Sea Kayacking and canoeing along our shoreline is popular. Of

needs is plentiful. Grocery stores are convenient. There are
several local attractions if you need a day out of the sun. Key

We're looking for quick blurbs about what you've done with Raspberry Pi. If you send us a quick description, and maybe a photo, we'll pick our favorites and publish them in our upcoming Raspberry Pi issue!
Send a tweet to @linuxjournal with the hashtag #RPi, leave a comment on our Facebook post, or even comment right here. If you can cram your Pi project into 140 characters (or a few more for you non-tweeters), we'd love to hear about it!
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter

Pi in the middle
I use my Pi as a "man in the middle". It register his dynamic IP over DynDns from a standard ADSL line and waits for a reverse SSH tunnel from my home network. When I need to enter my LAN, I connect via this "Pi in the middle". ;)
This is way my ISP it's actually a WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider).
The antenna over the roof acts as a NAT (and I have no admin rights on it); this is way I have to use the reverse tunnel as a workaround.
Plextor CD-ROM case
My Raspberry Pi sits in the middle of the livingroom, on a shelf, outputting sound to my stereo while looking like an out of place ancient SCSI CD-ROM. Controlled remotely with SSH from an Android phone.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Embarrassment for the Obama administration over the surveillance revelations continued as documents disclosed Thursday showed the Obama administration gathered U.S. citizens' Internet data until 2011, continuing a spying program started under President George W. Bush that revealed whom Americans exchanged emails with and the Internet Protocol address of their computer.
The National Security Agency ended the program that collected email logs and timing, but not content, in 2011 because it decided it didn't effectively stop terrorist plots, according to the NSA's director, Gen. Keith Alexander, who also heads the U.S. Cyber Command. He said all data was purged in 2011.
Britain's Guardian newspaper on Thursday released documents detailing the collection, though the program was also described earlier this month by The Washington Post.
The U.S. administration was expected to decide by Monday what export privileges to grant Ecuador under the Generalized System of Preferences, a program meant to spur development and growth in poorer countries.
Although the deadline was set long before the Snowden affair, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said Thursday that Ecuador's application to add a handful of products such as artichokes and cut flowers — the latter a major industry here — would not be decided immediately but would remain pending. That gives the U.S. additional leverage over Ecuador while Snowden's fate remains uncertain.
More broadly, a larger trade pact allowing reduced tariffs on more than $5 billion in annual exports to the U.S. is up for congressional renewal before July 21. While approval of the Andean Trade Preference Act has long been seen as doubtful in Washington, Ecuador has been lobbying strongly for its renewal.
On Wednesday, Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pledged to lead an effort to block extension of U.S. tariff benefits if Ecuador grants asylum to Snowden, who turned 30 last week. Nearly half of Ecuador's billions a year in foreign trade depends on the United States.
The Obama administration said Thursday that accepting Snowden would damage the overall relationship between the two countries and analysts said it was almost certain that granting the leaker asylum would lead the U.S. to cut roughly $30 million a year in military and law enforcement assistance.
Granting asylum to Snowden would cause "great difficulties in our bilateral relationship," State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said. "If they take that step, that would have very negative repercussions."
Alvarado, the communications minister, said his country rejects economic "blackmail" in the form of threats against the trade measures.
"The preferences were authorized for Andean countries as compensation for the fight against drugs, but soon became a new instrument of pressure," he said. "As a result, Ecuador unilaterally and irrevocably renounces these preferences."
Alvarado did not explicitly mention the separate effort to win trade benefits under the presidential order.
He did suggest, however, how the U.S. could use the money saved from Ecuadorean tariffs to train government employees to respect citizens' rights.
"Ecuador offers the United States $23 million a year in economic aid, an amount similar to what we were receiving under the tariff benefits, with the purpose of providing human rights training that will contribute to avoid violations of people's privacy, that degrade humanity," he said.

The Accidental Billionaires
How an asocial loner created the Internet's greatest social network.
In 2003, author Ben Mezrich – rather like a cool card shark running the table – was on a roll. His bestseller "Bringing Down the House," about card-counting Massachusetts Institute of Technology whiz kids beating the odds in Vegas, was the basis of "21," a Hollywood blockbuster produced by Kevin Spacey. And then allegations surfaced that Mezrich embellished scenes and concocted many of the details in his supposedly true tale.
Drake Bennett, whose detailed reporting in The Boston Globe broke the story the week after "21" opened, concluded that "Bringing Down the House" was "not a work of 'nonfiction' in any meaningful sense of the word." So readers may approach Mezrich's new book, The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal with some trepidation.
But while they would be right to worry about the truth of Mezrich's account, a more comprehensive question should stir them as well. Is the ever-evolving Internet, which is transforming almost every aspect of civilization, susceptible to serious historical storytelling? Will the true tale of the Web ever be told?

10 Ways to Take Stunning Portraits. A Post By: Darren Rowse How do you take Portraits that have the 'Wow' factor?
Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box. You see it's all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules – but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules. I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography. I'll share ten of these tips today and a further ten tomorrow (update: you can see the 2nd part here). Tim Flach Photography. World Is Beautiful (photos) World Is Beautiful (photos) Our planet is really beautiful place, and what can prove that better than photography!

Startrail Timelapse Compilation - Nevada Nights. 35 Splendid Examples of Forced Perspective Photography. Compose with Fibonacci's Ratio for Phenomenal Photos. Clarification: It's not the Fibonacci Ratio.
It's the Golden Ratio (aka phi)- The Fibonacci sequence can be used to approximate the golden ratio, as each successive pair of numbers' ratio gets closer and closer to phi. This is the beauty of nature- Fibonacci numbers are present everywere in nature (count the chunks of pineapple in a "row"), as is phi (bend your index finger, measure from knuckle 1 to knuckle 2, and knuckle 2 to knuckle 3, divide.)

Three AFC East stars were forced out of Sunday's games because of injuries.
Buffalo running back C.J. Spiller left Sunday's 24-14 victory over Cleveland because of an injured left shoulder.
Three AFC East stars were forced out of Sunday's games because of injuries.
Buffalo running back C.J. Spiller left Sunday's 24-14 victory over Cleveland because of an injured left shoulder.
He was hurt as he was tackled after catching a short pass and picking up 25 yards in the first quarter. Spiller stayed on the ground for several minutes before he was helped to his feet by trainers. He grasped his left arm as he walked off the field before being carted to the locker room
Bills coach Chan Gailey does not expect Spiller to be back for next week's home game against New England — and possibly longer.
"I don't believe it's long, long-term," Gailey said. "If he missed a week that's long for me. He's going to be out for sure this week and then we'll see."
Spiller will undergo further testing Monday.
At Miami, Reggie Bush limped off the field. Darrelle Revis was driven away.
They were both gone with apparent left knee injuries long before a four-hour overtime marathon between the Jets and Dolphins ended — but their absences could clearly mean plenty for both clubs going forward.
Bush departed just before halftime. He stayed down after being tackled on a play where the Dolphins were apparently trying to run out the clock but chose not to simply take a knee, giving their best offensive player the ball on a handoff instead. Revis left in the third quarter, falling awkwardly and grabbing at his knee even before he hit the grass, a non-contact injury where he wound up covering his face with gloved hands in obvious pain.
"No news yet," Jets coach Rex Ryan said after the game when asked about Revis. "He'll have an MRI when we get home tomorrow."
There was no update on Bush's status from the Dolphins, either.
Oakland Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was taken to the hospital with a neck injury after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Steelers safety Ryan Mundy that was not penalized.
Heyward-Bey was running across the end zone early in the fourth quarter to catch a pass from Carson Palmer when Mundy launched his body and lowered his helmet into Heyward-Bey's facemask. Heyward-Bey's neck jerked violently and his head also crashed into the ground. The pass was incomplete.
Heyward-Bey's eyes were shut for the 10 minutes trainers attended to him as he lay motionless. He was strapped to a table and placed on a cart. As the cart started to leave the field, he raised his right hand to roaring cheers.
The Raiders said he was in stable condition and would stay in the hospital overnight for observation.
Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford was replaced by Shaun Hill late in the fourth quarter after coming up limping trying to chase down a Tennessee defender on a 72-yard fumble return for a touchdown.

Time for some people to do some crow eating I guess *cough* DIMA

Time for some people to do some crow eating I guess *cough* DIMA
First, my statement from 8/06:
I'll make my stand here.
The NV28 will have only 66 million transistors.
If I'm wrong, I'll look the fool. If not, I'll give you guys hell.
Therefore, there's simply no way in hell that the NV18 will have 81 million transistors. It will be a DX7 part. Repeat: no chance in hell that it will have more transistors than any current NVIDIA or ATI DX8 card.
And from 8/28:
I may do some serious crow eating (with hot sauce), but my money is still on NV28 = 66 million, NV18 = 31 million.
Now, here's some statements other various members:
We know a few things about the NV28:
1. ~86 million transistors
The NV28 *won't* have 66 million transistors... if it'll have 66 million transistors, it'll be named NV25 and not NV28, even if it got AGP8X.
I know those numbers DIMA, and i still believe that the NV28 *will* have 86 million transistors unless nVidia suddently cancel all their plans, which is VERY unlikely.
For the last time, NV28 will have 86 million transistors, while NV18 will have 81 million transistors!!!
So there u go! NV28 a 86 million transisors part, not 66!, while NV18 is a 81 million transistor part, not 31!!
I'm very sorry to disappoint u, but NV28 is a 86 million transistors part & NV18 is a 81 million transistors part, for proof see my previous post. PERIOD.
Like I noted in my previous post, examination of what? of your pathetic desire for NV18 & NV28 to be what u want? I understand that u want that to happen and I also understand why would u twist the image for your needs, but it's just NOT gonna happen!
For crises sake, it has been CONFIRMED and broadcasted on T.V and people saw it and the numbers were clearly visible there and the CEO repeated them himself during the press conference!
Well... there we have it. There were others of course that sided one way or another, but these two are the most obvious. And, DIMA is the one who really should be eating some serious crow now.
I've yet to see any official transistor counts in the translated reviews (haven't dug that deep) on NV18 and NV28, but since the products
just the GF4 Ti4200 and GF4 MX440 with AGP 8X support (and the MX440 with higher clock speeds and 128MB memory) there seems no further reason for holding out that they will have substantially increased transistor counts.
Mmm... crow is good. Crow is your friend!

Coming from you, that doesn't mean very much, though I don't really care. If you MUST know, I could easily find a mate myself! I...simply have no reason to. That's all. I can bathe. Who said I couldn't? What do you know!?
Eric inside his box only sighs at the man jumping into the women's conversation. One has to be stealthy, quiet, subtle when watching the exchange of two beautiful women having some fun. He moves the box quietly creeping near the women, slowly.

I barely understood what you said, and I made alot of efforts to read what you wrote, but not being good at english isn't a reason not to cut out your LONG TEXT WALL INTO PARAGRAPHS Anyways ... People just don't like to see random comments on their threads that are just non-sense. Oh and, you're wasting threads spaces by making triple posts instead of editing or something ... what's it gonna be next ? Penta-posts ? And since Ahri requested it, I'm cutting it off here. ))

The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders.
Note: This report is available in its entirety in the Portable Document Format (PDF).
Launched in 1992, the $5 billion HOPE VI program1 represents a dramatic turnaround in public housing policy and one of the most ambitious urban redevelopment efforts in the nation's history. It replaces severely distressed public housing projects, occupied exclusively by poor families, with redesigned mixed-income housing and provides housing vouchers to enable some of the original residents to rent apartments in the private market. And it has helped transform the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) approach to housing assistance for the poor. This report provides a comprehensive summary of existing research on the HOPE VI program. Its central purpose is to help inform the ongoing debate about the program's achievements and impacts, and to highlight the lessons it offers for continuing reforms in public housing policy.
HOPE VI grew out of the work of the National Commission on Severely Distressed Public Housing, which was established by Congress in 1989. Congress charged the Commission with identifying "severely distressed" public housing developments, assessing strategies to improve conditions at these developments, and preparing a national action plan for dealing with the problem. Based on its investigation, the Commission concluded that roughly 86,000 of the 1.3 million public housing units nationwide qualified as severely distressed and that a new and comprehensive approach would be required to address the range of problems existing at these developments.
In response to these findings, Congress enacted the HOPE VI program, which combined grants for physical revitalization with funding for management improvements and supportive services to promote resident self-sufficiency. Initially, housing authorities were allowed to propose plans covering up to 500 units with grant awards of up to $50 million. The program's stated objectives were as follows:
Since 1992, HUD has awarded 446 HOPE VI grants in 166 cities. To date, 63,100 severely distressed units have been demolished and another 20,300 units are slated for redevelopment (Holin et al. 2003). As of the end of 2002, 15 of 165 funded HOPE VI programs were fully complete (U.S. GAO 2003b). The billions of federal dollars allocated for HOPE VI have leveraged billions more in other public, private, and philanthropic investments.
After a decade of HOPE VI, a wide range of constituenciesCongress, the administration, housing groups, local elected officials, resident advocates, and the mediaare asking challenging questions about what all of the investment has accomplished:
The nature of the HOPE VI program makes responding to these fundamental questions especially challenging. HOPE VI has not been "one program" with a clear set of consistent and unwavering goals. Rather, the program has evolved considerably during the past decadein legislation, regulation, implementation, and practice. To an unusual extent, the program has been shaped more through implementation than by enactment. What was initially conceived as a redevelopment and community-building program evolved over time into a more ambitious effort to build economically integrated communities and give existing residents more choice in the private housing market. Because of the flexible nature of the program, local housing authorities have had tremendous latitude in how they chose to design and implement their local HOPE VI initiatives. It is impossible, therefore, to provide simple answers to general questions about programmatic effectiveness and "lessons learned." The response to such questions is usually another question: "Which HOPE VI program are you asking about?"
Owing to the unusual nature of the HOPE VI program, HUD has notand probably could not havecarried out a single, comprehensive evaluation that would have examined all aspects of the program. In 1994, HUD initiated a "Baseline Assessment" of HOPE VI (Fosburg, Popkin, and Locke 1996) that was intended as the first step in an incremental evaluation process. This baseline analysis was followed by an "Interim Assessment" report (Holin et al. 2003). But these reports consist of case studies focusing primarily on HOPE VI sites and redevelopment plans; there was only a very minimal attempt to gather information about the original residents and no plan for tracking resident outcomes. As the program expanded, HUD added a requirement to the HOPE VI selection process that sites had to hire local evaluators, but the criteria for these evaluations were vague and there were no requirements that housing authorities collect specific types of performance measures. As a result, a lack of consistent data across sites has hindered national research on the program.
Further complicating the challenge of evaluating HOPE VI is the fact that the program was initiated at a time of enormous change in the broader public housing system. In many respects, HOPE VI has served as a laboratory to test new and often contentious ideas about public housing finance, management, and design. People's thinking about the performance and impact of HOPE VI is intertwined with their views on the evolution of federal housing policy more broadly, and their concerns about the future role of public housing in helping to address the needs of the poor.
In part because of the absence of definitive data and evaluation results, perceptions about the impacts of HOPE VI vary widely. Some people characterize it as a dramatic success, while others view it as a profound failure. There is no question that the program has had some notable accomplishments. Hundreds of profoundly distressed developments have been targeted for demolition, and many of them are now replaced with well-designed, high-quality housing serving a mix of income levels. HOPE VI has been an incubator for innovations in project financing, management, and service delivery. Some projects have helped turn around conditions in the surrounding neighborhoods and have contributed to the revitalization of whole inner-city communities. However, HOPE VI implementation has also encountered significant challenges. Some HOPE VI projects have been stalled by ineffective implementation on the part of the housing authority or conflict with city government. In others, developments were simply rehabilitated or rebuilt in the same distressed communities, with little thought to innovative design, effective services, or neighborhood revitalization.
Most seriously, there is substantial evidence that the original residents of HOPE VI projects have not always benefited from redevelopment, even in some sites that were otherwise successful. This can be partly attributed to a lack of meaningful resident participation in planning and insufficient attention to relocation strategies and services. As a consequence, some of the original residents of these developments may live in equally or even more precarious circumstances today.
This report reviews the existing research literature on both the achievements and the challenges of the HOPE VI program. In addition, it draws upon a day-long symposium on the program's strengths and weaknesses, held in the fall of 2003, involving a diverse group of practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and researchers. This assessment comes at a critical time in the evolution of HOPE VIand of public housing policy in general. In its FY 2004 and FY 2005 budget submissions, the Bush administration proposed eliminating funding for the program altogether, citing long delays between grant awards and the completion of the revitalization projects at many sites. Congress ultimately restored the program for FY 2004, but at a substantially lower level of funding.3
There is no doubt that housing authorities, cities, and industry advocates would prefer to continue the program. HOPE VI is currently the only major source of redevelopment funding, and many localities are pleased with their successes in replacing older projects that were blighting their communities with new, mixed-income developments. In contrast, advocates for low-income housing have been outspokenly critical of the program, pointing to sites where much money has been spent and little accomplished, and emphasizing the small numbers of original residents who have thus far been able to return to the revitalized HOPE VI sites. Yet, these advocates are now pushing to continue HOPE VI funding, though they are also pressing for extensive reforms such as greatly expanding the rights of original residents and formalizing their role in the redevelopment process (cf. Center for Community Change 2003, National Housing Law Project 2002).
This debate is not likely to be easily resolved, as it involves a number of highly contentious issues:
Research alone cannot resolve these issues, but this report seeks to help inform the ongoing debate by pulling together a wide array of research to address the critical questions about the program's achievements, impacts, and the lessons it offers for public housing policy. This is, by necessity, an early and limited assessment. Most projects are still undergoing redevelopment, and many new developments are not "seasoned enough" to allow for a definitive examination. For now, in the absence of a comprehensive evaluation, we draw on the considerable evidence available from targeted efforts to examine different aspects of the HOPE VI program. This evidence includes large-scale studies carried out by the Urban Institute on resident outcomes, Abt Associates' baseline and interim assessments, the recent attempts to assess neighborhood impacts by the Brookings Institution and the Housing Research Foundation, as well as the many smaller studies by local evaluators and related research on mobility and scattered-site housing.
In our view, this evidence strongly supports continuation of the HOPE VI approach as a way to improve outcomes for distressed developments, residents, and neighborhoods. The program has achieved substantial success; it has demolished some of the most distressed and destructive housing environments, replaced them with much higher-quality housing and, in many cases, with mixed-income communities. Many residents who relocated with vouchers are living in higher-quality housing in safer neighborhoods. Therefore, HUD should continue to operate a targeted redevelopment program that provides funds for both physical revitalization and supportive services. However, the evidence also points to the urgent need for reforms in the HOPE VI program if it is to realize its full potential to improve the circumstances of very low-income families and communities. In particular, assistance with relocation and supportive services should be strengthened, and new attention should be given to innovations such as "enhanced vouchers" that would provide long-term counseling and support to vulnerable families in conjunction with housing assistance.
Chapter 2 provides essential background for understanding the performance of HOPE VI, by describing the dreadful conditions in many central city public housing developments that led to the call for a radical new approach to public housing. Next, we offer a brief overview of fundamental changes in public housing policy that began in the 1990s and that influenced the evolution of the HOPE VI program. Chapters 4 through 7 discuss the outcomes of HOPE VI, focusing in turn on the public housing sites themselves, the original residents, services and supports for today's residents, and improvements in the surrounding neighborhoods. The report concludes with a review of key lessons learned, priorities for ongoing research, and implications for the future of HOPE VI and public and assisted housing policy more broadly.
The authors of this report wish to thank the many people who have made significant contributions to it. In particular, we would like to thank several colleagues from the Urban Institute: Michael Eiseman helped facilitate symposium arrangements and made major contributions to the preparation of this report, especially the literature review; Shawnise Thompson coordinated the symposium arrangements; Jennifer Comey helped greatly with the early phases of planning for the conference and report and helped draft the material on residents; and Tom Kingsley and Arthur Naparstek made major contributions to our thinking and analysis, particularly on the impact of HOPE VI on neighborhoods. We wish to thank Darren Walker of the Rockefeller Foundation for his enthusiastic support for this project and for graciously hosting the symposium. We also thank the other funders of the Urban Institute's and Brookings Institution's broader work on HOPE VI and public housing transformation, which has greatly informed this report, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Chicago Community Trust, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Finally, we thank the symposium participants for the stimulating and thoughtful discussion that helped to shape this report.

Russia-Georgia dispute escalates
Last week, Georgia fired at an intruding Russian fighter, it claimed. The incident is the latest in a murky air war that both sides say is an intentional effort to spoil ties.
Just as relations between Russia and the post-Soviet nation of Georgia were improving from their nadir last year, a bizarre phantom air war this month has unleashed mutually hostile rhetoric and escalated tensions.
For almost a month, Georgia has complained that Russian fighter jets have made incursions into its airspace. Most recently, it said that its forces fired on an intruding Russian plane near the breakaway republic of Abkhazia last week. The republic, a Russian protectorate claimed by Georgia under international law, is a point of contention between the two countries.
But a top Russian general scoffed that his Georgian colleagues must be "hallucinating" since, he insisted, no Russian warplanes have flown anywhere near Georgia. Kremlin officials have repeatedly suggested that Georgian hard-liners, seeking a pretext for military action against Abkhazia and another rebel statelet, South Ossetia, may be "fabricating" the incidents.
Russia and Georgia have been at odds for years over Moscow's aid to both Abkhazia and another breakaway republic, South Ossetia, but relations turned toxic after President Mikhael Saakashvili came to power in 2004's "Rose Revolution," vowing to reunite his fractured country and bring it into NATO before his term of office ends in 2009.
Now, officials on both sides charge the other of intentional provocation designed to exacerbate tensions.
"Both sides are making claims that cannot be reconciled, yet the evidence on the ground remains puzzling," says Alexander Golts, a military expert with the Moscow-based online newspaper Yezhednevny Zhurnal. "It's hard to say, at this point, who is to blame. But there's no doubt that all this shouting is making things much worse."
The current crisis and its roots
Last week, Georgia said that its forces fired upon a Russian "military jet" and may have shot it down. Georgian Deputy Defense Minister Batu Kuteliya told journalists it was the ninth such Russian incursion in the past three months – a claim the Kremlin denied.

Beautiful fragrance, lasts ages, unique smell & beautiful bottle. The first time i wore this people stopped me to ask what i was wearing. Love it!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I received a sample of this perfume and I fell in love right away. The smell is really great. I get a lot of compliments on this perfume! I spray some all over my body in the morning, and then I apply some of the body lotion/cream on my arms and kneck at around noon. You will smell really good, but not too much. It isn't such a heavy smell. There is one problem. The price. I received the full-sized perfume and cream as a gift for christmas, because I couldn't afford it. The kit was around $95. It's a lot, but I love it a lot. It is my favorite perfume of all time!
I tried this product out in the department store today. At first it seemed WAY too strong, musky and generic. I walked away feeling pretty disappointed as I had heard good things about it and was considering buying it myself. However, once the top notes fade away, the middle and bottom notes are really lovely. They smell like a mix of berries and vanilla. It's feminine, light and has lasted fairly well on me. It was applied several hours ago and I keep getting whiffs of it.
Defintely understand reviews about this being too strong, cloying etc in the PARFUM etc The trick is getting the EDT!!! Stunning, how the parfum should have been. Surprisingly great staying power. I would never guess it was EDT. Classy, sexy, sensual fragrance. I love. Very Parisienne on me:)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This scent is heavenly. I consider it my signature scent. It is long lasting and, equally as important, not overpowering! I have been complimented numerous times on this fragrance and will continue to purchase it again and again!
Every time I put this on it makes me smile. A very pleasant fresh light floral that smells so good Its becoming one of my all time favorite perfumes to wear. The Top notes I smell are floral powder and something that reminds me of pine with the fragrance paris mixed in later it dries down to a simple smelling floral I wish the top and middle notes lasted longer.... but its still just yummy
started out very light, sparkling & sweet-a berry floral, i really loved it..but then the drydown was just baby powder and didnt last long at all. cute little bottle but nothing special.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This smells so good! On me, it smells like mostly berries with a hint of candy and vanilla. It lasts all day, too. Would definitely repurchase, if I ever run out!
Love this perfume. It's floral, kind of berry, and when I first realised it on a friend, it felt like walking passed a candy shop. It's got a very flowery candy-like smell, but also deeper tones of fragrance. I find it suitable for both special occassions (though it's a little flirty, so definitely depending on the party) and usage on daily basis. When leaving I spray a bit in my neck, arms and hair and don't need to take the bottle with me because with my skin the fragrance lasts. I think it's rather expensive for a smell that isn't super special, but would definitely buy again.
A 4 because I'm very satisfied with it, but don't think that it's a very special perfume, especially for that price.
