NEWORLEANS- A police commander and the city's former director of Public Works both violated policies related to the city's red light traffic camera program, according to a new report released this afternoon by the city's Inspector General.
The report confirms much of what was already known. It notes that NOPD Commander Edwin Hosli formed a corporation to run the off-duty paid detail for the city's camera ticket program. Also, the former Public Works Director Robert Mendoza improperly expanded a contract related to the same program. Mayor Mitch Landrieu fired Mendoza in August 2011.
Hosli had been under investigation and was reinstated to full duty last month after federal and local investigations ended without charges. Though charges weren't filed, an investigation by the city's inspector general and the FBI determined that Hosli and four other officers likely overbilled the city, a move considered 'potentially fraudulent.' The latest inspector general report does not mention the alleged overbilling.
Hosli was commander of the 8th District in the French Quarter when it came to light that he had formed a company called Anytime Solutions that paid New Orleans police officers to review tickets as a subcontractor for the city's red light camera vendor. Hosli was said to be a close friend of Superintendent Ronal Serpas -- among those his firm employed were Serpas' driver and his son in law. Hosli had already been suspended for the violation in August 2011.
Inspector General Ed Quatrevaux's office opened an investigation in May 2011. City employees told the office that Mendoza tried getting on-duty NOPD officers to review the camera tickets. Mendoza said both Chiefs Warren Riley and Ronal Serpas said they could not spare any officers. Mendoza violated procedures by expanding the camera ticket contract and running it through a paid off-duty detail, the report noted. The report also said that Serpas and Deputy Chief Stephanie Landry suggested the city run the details through the private, non-profit New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation Serpas denied that steered the lucrative detail to Hosli. 'I didn't tell people who to hire for details,' Serpas said, according to the report. Deputy Chief Arlinda Westbrook, the head of the internal affairs unit, said her office would investigate officers who formed corporations to run details, but she noted that she heard Hosli formed his company at the request of Affiliated Computer Services, the company tasked with collecting traffic ticket fees. The motivation was allegedly to streamline the payment process.

On sniffles and the Red Wings' conundrum that is Valtteri Filppula
by George Malik on 04/01/13 at 02:14 AM ET
Comments (44)
I'm feeling absolutely miserable, and it seems to have little to nothing to do with the Wings' ugly 7-1 loss to Chicago, so I'm going to do something very rare: I'm going to direct you to Gregg Krupa's, "The sky is not falling, the Wings are just in flux" column, because I really do believe what Krupa suggests--that this team simply has suffered too many injuries and too much roster turnover to be particularly consistent or truly embrace that post-Lidstrom identity until April 27th at the earliest--I will remind you that the Wings play tonight against Colorado (7:30 PM EDT, FSD/NBCSN/97.1 FM), and will probably do so without the services of Henrik Zetterberg...
And before this polar bear crawls back under the covers to get warm, which is my surest, "George, you have a bad cold" sign, I'm going to throw something out that Paul sent to me: the Edmonton Journal's Jim Matheson believes that the Red Wings need to do something that goes against every, "We never 'sell' assets at the trade deadline, even if we are remotely playoff-bound" philosophy-believing bone in their management's bodies.

Red Wings make an odd move to free space for Danny DeKeyser, send Brian Lashoff to GR
by George Malik on 03/31/13 at 03:30 PM ET
Comments (23)
The Detroit Red Wings had to make room for Danny DeKeyser on their 23-man roster, but they did not do so by sending Gustav Nyquist down to Grand Rapids:
Lashoff will probably play in the Grifins' Tuesday night game in Houston before returning to Detroit on Wednesday, when the Wings no longer have to worry about the 23-man roster limit. And yes, this does mean that DeKeyser may play tomorrow vs. Colorado, though Carlo Colaicovo may play instead...

Red Wings-Blackhawks quick take: yet another humiliating matinee game loss to Chicago
by George Malik on 03/31/13 at 03:00 PM ET
Comments (28)
Update: UGH:
The Detroit Red Wings began their 7-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks finding out that Henrik Zetterberg had taken himself out of the game due to a groin injury, and by the time the game ended, the Mikael Samuelsson had succumbed to an "upper-body" injury (may be his last game for the Wings given how badly he's played in limited action--he's a cap-compliance buy-out lock).
With Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Alex Delvecchio, Nicklas Lidstrom and Tomas Holmstrom in the house, the Red Wings played like they'd forgotten that those #9 jerseys they wore in warm-ups did not in fact give them super powers against a Blackhawks team that's owned them at the Joe...

Mr. Hockey, barely here

Late last night, ESPN's Craig Custance revealed that Red Wings legend Gordie Howe may make his last public appearances at today and tomorrow's Red Wings games, and this morning, the Free Press's Helene St. James reveals the heart-breaking truth behind his familys decision to finally pull Howe from the public eye:
Howe hasn't been around as much the past few years, as dementia slowly has taken over his life, progressing from mild to intermediate. Son Mark Howe, a scout for the Wings, said Gordie "is struggling. I think his memory might be down to two minutes, maybe five on a good day."
Howe is never left alone any more. He has been in Detroit staying with old friends for about a week. Before that, he was with his daughter, Cathy, in Texas. Howe stayed with Mark, in Philadelphia, for 10 days around Christmas.
"All you have to do is make oatmeal for him in the morning, then have a cookie or apple pie or chocolate ice cream before bed, and then he's happy," Mark said. "But if it's not someone that he knows who's with him, he really struggles. He was watching the Wings game the other night, and after two periods he put on his coat and made to leave. He said he was going to see Sid Abel at the end of the street. That's the first I'd heard of that kind of thing. But that's the stage he's at."
Continued, and Jimmy Howard, Niklas Kronwall and, in the rest of St. James' story, Pavel Datsyuk also talk about Howe's lingering influence upon them:

Red Wings overnight report: DeKeyser's addition changes Detroit's trade deadline outlook
by George Malik on 03/31/13 at 03:57 AM ET
Comments (6)
This was supposed to be part of the Red Wings-Blackhawks set-up, but the entry took up too much bandwidth, so one must think on one's feet, even at 4 AM.
Amongst this morning's Red Wings-related topics:
Regarding the trade deadline: Ken Holland followed up his conversation with NHL.com's Brian Hedger regarding the trade deadline by stating unequivocally to the Free Press's Helene St. James that the Wings will not trade their 1st round pick in this year's draft, nor will they go the "rental"route.
Will the Wings' management, pro and amateur scouts bunker down at the Joe, kick every tire and attempt to find players that will improve their team?
Yep. But they're not going to sell the barn to buy a horse, nor are they going to screw themselves cap-wise going forward for the sake of making a deadline splash--and landing DeKeyser is a huge contributing factor to that equation, as did the Wings' 2-for-3 and 3-for-4 road trips through Western Canada and the Western U.S. proved that this team is gelling together pretty nicely during what is admittedly a rebuilding and-or-transitional year:

Red Wings-Blackhawks set-up: Wings need to battle tide of home defeats against Chicago
by George Malik on 03/31/13 at 03:55 AM ET
Comments (0)
Today's going to be a little bit surreal in more ways than one. Nicklas Lidstrom (in town to visit pals, recruit Danny DeKeyser and then head down to Florida for a "spring break" trip with his family) and 85th-birthday boy Gordie Howe will attend today's matinee between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks (12:30 PM EDT, NBC/NHL Network Canada/97.1 FM), and it's entirely possible that we'll see the team make some more roster moves as Johan Franzen and Mikael Samuelsson may play today (farewell, Kent Huskins)...
But, regardless of who actually plays for the Wings after the team dons #9 commemorative jerseys during the pre-game skate, the Wings' players face a particularly stiff task: in beginning a slate of back-to-back games against the Blackhawks and Avalanche, today's opponent comes into town possessing a staggering 8-0-and-1 record at Joe Louis Arena and a 10-1-and-2 record against the Wings of late, and the Blackhawks will start a goalie opposite Jimmy Howard who boasts a 9-2-and-2 record against Detroit in Corey Crawford.

Police say three student-athletes were among four men responsible for a chemical explosion inside a Lenoir-Rhyne University dorm earlier this week.
Hickory fire and police responded to Morgan Dorm just after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call of an explosion.
Authorities found a plastic drink bottle that had been placed in a bathroom and exploded due to a chemical reaction from the contents inside, said Libby Grigg, chief's assistant at Hickory Police Department.
No injuries or damage occurred.
Four students turned themselves in to authorities Thursday and are charged with disorderly conduct.
The student athletes arrested include Zachary Kent Thomas, 18; Steven McGhee, 22; and Michael Schlegelmilch, 20.Â
Thomas is listed as a freshman offensive lineman on the football team, according to Lenoir-Rhyne University's website. On the same website, Schlegelmich is listed a sophomore defender on the lacrosse team, while McGhee, also a sophomore, is listed as a goaltender.
Dakota Keith Meadows, 19, was also charged.

It was a gorgeous day today, so it seemed a good opportunity to take the camera out on my lunch break and snap a few shots of the gargoyles hanging out around my office at Astor Place in Manhattan. So I wandered up and down Lafayette and Broadway between Great Jones and the south end of Union Square to see what I could find.

Game of Thrones Exhibit, NYC
I am a huge fan of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Well, I am a huge fan of the first three books, tolerate the fourth, and consider the fifth one of the worst books I've ever read — but I am still qualifying myself as a huge fan since I am looking forward to the rest of the series regardless of my displeasure with A Dance with Dragons. But I am also cheap and slow, so I have yet to watch any but the first episode of HBO's adaptation, A Game of Thrones. I keep meaning to, but then I just end up watching another season of Starz' Spartacus instead. But when HBO and local villain Time-Warner Cable announced an exhibit of props from the show as part of the push for the new season, I was interested enough to go. Unfortunately, so was most of the rest of New York.
Random Frolics: HeardNY, Museum of NY, and Gargoyles
This is the first of what will be many random summaries of wandering and day-to-day adventures. I tend to get bogged down in research and endless expansion of scope when it comes to writing about the strange and entertaining sights across which I stumble (or deliberately seek out) throughout the week, which results in articles never actually getting posted. These frolic write-ups are summaries, really, with minimal background information or historical context. Some of them will be expanded upon later, and others don't really afford much expansion. But they will be presented here so that we may, together, enjoy frequent romps through whichever city, town, or wilderness in which we happen to be wandering.

Roving Around the Hebrides: Inner Hebrides
Teleport City rover Margaux spent five weeks walking across Scotland and Ireland. She was gracious enough to jot down notes on her experiences during the Scottish — specifically the western isles of the Hebrides — leg of her journey and let us publish them here so that you might strap on a backback and be able to have a ramble of your own. Part one of this two-part article covers the Inner Hebrides.
The Roosevelt Island Tram
Despite living in New York for some fifteen years now, and despite the iconic nature of this particular attraction, I had never been on — nor indeed even seen — the Roosevelt Island Tram. Somehow, despite countless trips up and down the FDR Drive and occasional trips back and forth across the Queensboro Bridge, I never once caught a glimpse of that bright red skytram being tugged across the East River on suspended cables. It could possibly be because I was, you know, driving, and if you've ever been in that particular part of town you know that it does not usually work out very well to distract oneself from the road. Eventually though, and probably after staying up late watching Nighthawks yet again, it was determined that enough was enough. High time to get suspended high above the river en route to a river island about which I know very little and which is visited rarely by anyone who does not live there.
The Gates: Central Park 2005
In February of 2005, the bleak winter landscape of New York's Central Park was splashed with color when Bulgarian artist Christo Yavacheff and French artist Jeanne-Claude erected hundreds of gates with bright orange curtains along twenty-three miles of Central Park pathways. Construction of the art piece took 5,390 tons of steel, 315,491 feet of vinyl tubing, and 99,155 square meters. The gates were assembled in Long Island and trucked to the park, where they had to be erected without being bolted or dug into the park.
The Beavers of Astor Place
New York's subway stations are adorned with many an odd historical curio, image, mural, or hidden wonder. One of the first ones I ever noticed and thought to wonder about was the beavers diligently gnawing away at branches throughout the Astor Place 6 train station. These furry little devils probably represent the point at which I decided not just to live, work, and play in New York, but also to poke around in its history — the stranger and more obscure, the better — and eventually become one of those weird old guys who wanders around with a pair of binoculars, offering tourism tips and trivia to random passersby who probably just want to get their picture taken with one of those ratty-looking Times Square Elmos. Anyway, despite being a relatively small (and these days, frequently shut down for weekend construction) station, Astor Place packs a lot of people in every day thanks to its East Village location. It also manages to pack a substantial amount of oddball history onto its modest platform, history that includes the richest man in America, an abandoned passage, a deadly riot, and yes — beavers.
Grand Central Centennial
As we mentioned in the article about the secret train platform beneath Grand Central Terminal, the venerable New York City landmark turned one hundred this month. The anniversary is being marked by a number of events, sales, displays, and tours that unfortunately were already sold out by the time I learned about them. Still, not one to be deterred, a crew of us dropped in for the birthday celebration and sought out our own Grand Central sights and curiosities. I've poked through the station numerous times yet still managed to find some things I'd never seen before.
Happy 100, Grand Central. The clock above the information booth has an opal face and is worth somewhere around $10-15 million, though rumor has it that the one on display is a replica. There is also a tiny cylindrical tube inside the booth. It contains a stairwell that leads to an employees' only area below the floor of the plaza.

Use this distinctive system to harness the power of color in your client's life.
SpaRitual, a new line of polish and nail treatments, has created The Chroma Guide from its palette of 72 nail lacquers to harness the power of color in your clients' life. A fusion of color therapy and numerology, each card is devoted to a single polish color and reveals in a few key words the unique message held by the color, its numerological value, and the overall dynamic of its corresponding harmonic suite. Colors have been categorized into four "color suites," each designed to highlight the power of personality. The Chroma Guide allows you to offer a unique service that elevates the perception of your manicure and pedicure services.
1. Fan the chroma guide face down so the color puddles are not showing. Allow the client to choose one card.
2. Close the guide, leaving the chosen card out. Turn the guide over to reveal the message and color on the card.
3. Pull the corresponding SpaRitual lacquer from the display for your manicure. Repeat the ritual to choose a color for the client's pedicure. For those clients not willing to leave their polish color up to fate, let them select the color first and then learn its message.

AP Exclusive: Sikh shooting victim slowly improves
Saturday - 1/19/2013, 3:36pm EST
By DINESH RAMDE
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Day after day, Raghuvinder and Jaspreet Singh hovered by their nearly comatose father and repeated a single word _ a word their dad probably spoke more than any other in his lifetime: "Waheguru."
The Punjabi word is a term Sikhs use to refer to God. Roughly translated, it describes the wondrous expression of God's presence. For 65-year-old Punjab Singh, an internationally known Sikh priest who hasn't spoken and barely has moved since a white supremacist shot him in the head last summer, the word meant everything.
Doctors had cautioned Singh's prognosis was grim. But his sons were convinced prayer, love and constant companionship would help their father heal. So they remained by his bedside 24 hours a day at a long-term care facility in Wisconsin, alternating shifts and sleeping in a bed next to his.
Every day they repeated the word "waheguru" (pronounced VAH'-hay-goo-roo) and watched for a response. For weeks there was nothing. Then on Jan. 9 he began to move his mouth, apparently trying several times to say the word. The next day he tried 30 times.
In coming days, his sons spoke the word more than 100 times. Each time he moved his mouth to match the rhythm of their syllables, in what his speech therapist said appeared to be attempted repetition. He couldn't vocalize because of a tube in his throat, and couldn't move his lips deftly enough to lip-synch, but it was clear to Raghuvinder and Jaspreet what their father was trying to say.
"It was a happy moment for our family," Raghuvinder Singh said, beaming.
Punjab Singh was wounded Aug. 5 when a gunman opened fire at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek. Six Sikh worshippers were killed and three other people were injured. The motive of the gunman, who killed himself, is unknown.
Of those wounded, Punjab Singh suffered the most severe injuries. A single bullet to his face damaged brain tissue, blood vessels and the brain stem. He remained in a coma for two months, and a pair of strokes nearly paralyzed his left side.
Improvement has been marginal, but unusual enough for a patient in his condition that his doctor calls the progress remarkable. After five months, Singh can move his eyes to track movement on either side of him, he tries to mouth words and he seems genuinely aware of his surroundings.
However, Singh's best-case scenario remains limited. He'll most likely never walk, and while awareness may improve, communication likely will consist of deliberate eye blinks, simple gestures and perhaps whispered words. As long as he stays stable, there is a chance for more improvement, according to his doctor.
The doctor spoke about Singh's condition with permission from his family, who asked that the hospital and its staff not be identified. The Singhs worry that if Punjab Singh's location is revealed, either explicitly or indirectly by mention of his doctors, well-meaning Sikhs will flock to his bedside to pray for a priest known across the globe.
Punjab Singh began preaching as a soldier in the Indian Army. Friends say he could simplify even the most complex philosophical concepts, and he became so popular that after retiring from the Army he was asked to preach across India, as well as in the U.S., Canada and England.
Nearly half a year after the Wisconsin shooting, well-wishers still travel daily to the family's home in India and ask to come in and pray for Singh, his son said. Raghuvinder Singh said he gets calls at all hours from his father's followers asking for updates and conveying prayers. The family worries similar traffic to his bedside or calls to the facility treating him could hinder his recovery.
"A lot of people are praying for him in their homes and temples," Raghuvinder Singh said. "We want to thank them and ask them to please continue offering prayers there."
Punjab Singh sat propped up in a chair under several blankets when an Associated Press reporter visited this week. He breathed on his own but had a tracheostomy tube in his throat and was fed through a tube.
His wife, Kulwant Kaur, woke him by gently squeezing his hand and asking him in Hindi, "Are you OK?" He opened his eyes slowly and squeezed them shut in what appeared to be a deliberate blink. He moved his right arm slightly and turned his neck, representing the extent of his physical abilities.

Cork racecourse refers to County Cork, and not Cork City. There is no racecourse in Cork City or any of it's suburbs. Cork racecourse is located just outside of Mallow. It is a thoroughly modern facility, with car parks, stewards, signage and proper safety measures in place. No need for wellies, this isn't like a muddy point to point. A...

You might not be aware of the program Drug Abuse Resistance Education, but you would likely recognize its acronym, D.A.R.E. It's a program that was established in 1983 with the intentions of educating children k-12 about the dangers of drug use and abuse. It's still around today and so is data about its ineffectiveness as a deterrent. If you thought D.A.R.E was a great program, think again.
Now that you have seen the facts and figures of how ineffective D.A.R.E. has been over the last 30 years, what do you think they should do to improve their message? If you want to start a discussion on your own blog, feel free to copy the code bellow and post it.

WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin III: three sacks, no touchdowns.
Kirk Cousins: three touchdowns, no sacks.
If preseason stats could be taken at face value, one could have fun cobbling together yet another Washington Redskins quarterback controversy, this one involving a pair of rookies.
For one thing, fourth-rounder Cousins from Michigan State is naturally more comfortable in the pocket than No. 2 overall pick Griffin, who didn't get a chance to learn the nuances of a pro-style offense at Baylor.
Of course, there is no such QB competition. Griffin played with and against starters during the first half of Saturday night's 33-31 loss to the Chicago Bears, while Cousins was on the field in the second half with quite a few players who will soon be looking for work. Griffin would have to be inept or injured not to remain the No. 1 guy when the regular season opens, and so far he's been neither.
But he did get his first taste of NFL pressure after a relatively smooth quarter of work in the preseason opener the week before. He lost a fumble deep in Redskins territory on one of the sacks and completed 5 of 8 passes for only 49 yards.
"We never really got into a rhythm," Griffin said. "I think everyone on the (first-string) wanted to go back in the second half."
Growing pains aside, Griffin can't flourish if he's always on the run. The game reinforced an ongoing concern about an offensive line that was missing three projected starters — Kory Lichtensteiger, Chris Chester and Jammal Brown.
The Redskins (No. 25 in the AP Pro32) are reasonably hopeful that Lichtensteiger and Chester will be healthy when the regular season starts Sept. 9.
And Griffin is also going to need more help from the starting defense, which gave up big plays and lost two starters — two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo and strong safety Brandon Meriweather — to injuries in the first quarter.
Orakpo and Meriweather were both scheduled for MRIs on Sunday, with coach Mike Shanahan expected to divulge the results when the team reconvenes for practice on Monday.
Orakpo reinjured his left shoulder trying to tackle Bears receiver Devin Hester; it's the same shoulder that required surgery after the linebacker tore a pectoral muscle in the final game of last season.
Meriweather, a significant offseason free agent signing, hurt his left knee when a player fell on him during a touchdown run by Michael Bush.

Latest Leda Cosmides Stories
For two decades, evolutionary scientists have been locked in a debate over the evolved functions of three distinctive human behaviors: the great readiness we show for cooperating with new people, the strong interest we have in tracking others' reputations regarding how well they treat others, and the occasional interest we have in punishing people for selfishly mistreating others.
Imagine you're dining at a restaurant in a city you're visiting for the first –– and, most likely the last –– time.
For our ancestors, misjudging the physical strength of a would-be opponent might have resulted in painful –– and potentially deadly –– defeat.

Author has written 2 stories for Romance.
Hi Everyone,
Just so you're aware: I'm not a writer. I've never taken a creative writing class in my life (if you couldn't already tell LOL). So what inspired me to sit down and do this?
I read a romance series, and I was so disappointed with the last couple of books, I actually threw them away and gave up on the author completely. Then I saw an interview with her. Apparently a lot of readers felt the same way I did, and the interviewer asked her what she thought about all the negative feedback. Her response? "Well if they don't like my story, maybe they should write their own."
Haha! Kind of a bitchy thing to say, but she was absolutely right. Those are her characters and she can do whatever the hell she wants with them. I think all of us who read romance have some ideal hero or heroine in our minds. We might have created them ourselves, or maybe they came from a favorite story we've read so many times we have no tears left for it.
Either way, when a hero or heroine makes promises they don't deliver, we feel robbed. To fall in love with a character that disappoints you in the end is like losing a close friend, and it's a friend you'll never get the chance to call up and apologize to when you're drunk one night (even though it wasn't your fault in the first place). It's a friend you don't even want to call, because you realize you never really knew them in the first place.
That's how I feel, at least. I get attached to the characters, and other writers often break my heart. So for me, this is a chance to create my own characters in my own world. They won't disappoint me because I won't let them, and I really hope they don't disappoint you.

I'm a world citizen trying to improve my art and bring a little bit more beauty into the world. I feel fortunate to have discovered this incredible music and encountered some of its finest practitioners, and am happy to have the chance to keep playin the horn.
Some of the players I've been lucky enough to know, play with and learn from include Marvin Doc Holladay (currently residing in Ecuador!), Larry Miller from Nanaimo, British Columbia, and Robert Crowell, Warren Rand, Renato Caranto and Mel Brown from Portland, Oregon. Shao Way Wu, a wonderful bass player and from Arcata, California has also helped me immensely.Studying with Tom Bergeron at Western Oregon University was a real treat! And of course, the members of Dialeto Brasileiro have had a huge impact on my musical life; if you don't know these players, look them up: Cassio Vianna, Wagner Trindade and Claudio Felix....
