Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl Recap: The Truth Comes out in "Shattered Bass"
Only one more episode to go in Gossip Girl Season 4, and all the pieces are being put into place for the big season finale. The Thorpes' attack on Bass Industries is narrowly averted, but is the stage set for an even worse loss for Chuck (Ed Westwick)? Will Blair (Leighton Meester) let the crown slip through her fingers? And most pressingly: WTF, Charlie (Kaylee DeFer)? For all those burning questions and more, read on.
Blair is still on a grim march toward romantic bliss with Louis (Hugo Becker). Ignoring Chuck's violent outburst, she pushes forward with her campaign to win over Louis's disapproving maman. But while the princess may not be an Upper East Sider, she knows a trick or two: She has Blair followed, and then tells Louis about B's rendezvous with Chuck. Louis grows suspicious of Blair's secrecy — and a visit to Chuck does nothing to allay those fears.
Chuck has troubles of his own. He's opening a new hotel over in Brooklyn, which, wow, not the way to win back Blair. What's worse, his old uncle/nemesis is back in town and consorting with the enemy. First Jack (Desmond Harrington) meets with Raina (Tika Sumpter), who ropes him into a scheme to bring Chuck down, but Uncle J decides to go after a bigger fish and talks to Russell himself. Russell is glad to help, on one condition: He wants the tapes of the fire Chuck got from his private detective.
Charlie has snagged herself a Dan (Penn Badgley), though he seems about as attached to her as a puppy he'd been asked to babysit. Serena (Blake Lively) initially claims to be okay with their romance, but signs are gathering that Cousin Charlie's more trouble than she appears — Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) calls to tell Serena about how Charlie shafted her, and Rufus (Matthew Settle) finds her medication (for some unspecified mental ailment, sounds like bipolar disorder) in the trash. Serena finally realizes something's up when Charlie shows up in Serena drag at the Constance Alumni ball. You guys realize she's the third person this year to dress up as Serena? Come on. No one else on this show has the boobs to pull that off.
Charlie pulls Dan away to sex him up on Headmistress Queller's desk. But what seems like a bit of sexy, bad-girl fun takes a turn for the Single White Female when Charlie asks Dan to call her Serena while they're doing it. Girl, you've got to wait till at least the fourth date to expose that level of crazy.
Jack has Chuck dragged away by the men in white coats, and Russell Thorpe triumphs — or so he thinks. Turns out Jack, Chuck, and Nate (Chace Crawford) were working together to figure out what Russell was up to. After watching that sought-after tape, it turns out Russell was the one who set the fire and killed his wife, because she was going to leave him for Bart Bass. Chuck boots him back to the Second City, generously promising not to tell Raina that Russell killed her mom if he never shows his face around City Numero Uno again. But Nate can't keep a secret like that from his boo. When Raina insists on going after Chuck, Nate reveals that it was really Russell who killed her mother, and she calls dear ol' pops to cut him out of her life for good.
Louis's suspicions begin to make him pull away from Blair, and he demands total honesty from her if they're going to get married. Blair seems ready to acquiesce, but a text from a desperate Chuck sends her flying up to the roof to beg him not to jump.
But the text isn't from Chuck at all. It's Russell. Now that he's lost everything, he thinks Chuck's responsible, and he's got Blair trapped on the roof of a skyscraper. Blair's dress may be trimmed with feathers, but that doesn't mean she can fly...
Will Blair find a happy ending? Not before enduring a little bit of hell:

BES Revegetation Projects
Through the Watershed Revegetation Program, Environmental Services forms partnerships with public and private landowners to restore degraded stream banks, wetlands, and upland areas. This restoration work improves water quality by controlling erosion, reducing stormwater pollution, aiding in long-term salmon recovery, and enhancing wildlife habitat.
Current Zoning
Current base zoning does not necessarily represent existing land uses but rather the desired land use pattern set out in the goals and policies of Portland's Comprehensive Plan and implemented through the Zoning Code. Descriptions of current base zoning are provided for each subwatershed. A table summarizes total acres for each zone.
DEQ ECSI Sites
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) maintains an Environmental Cleanup Site Information (ECSI) database to track sites with known or suspected hazardous substance contamination. According to the DEQ, the data in the ECSI is "working information," and the agency further specifies that information in ECSI may be unconfirmed, outdated or incomplete; is summary in nature, rather than comprehensive; there may be contaminated sites in Oregon that are unknown to DEQ and do not appear in ECSI and conversely, the appearance of a site in ECSI does not necessarily mean that the site is contaminated; and information in ECSI is subject to change at any time. The site information provided for each subwatershed is from the ECSI database as of summer, 2003. It has not been reviewed, and only in a few cases has the information been summarized. For complete and recent site information, visit the DEQ's ECSI website
Development Patterns
Humans have lived in the Portland area for more than 10,000 years. The native inhabitants used fire to manage the landscape for food production, and the oak savanna covering of the Willamette Valley was the result of a long history of human influence. After the Hudson's Bay Company established a fur trading post in Astoria, trapping parties dramatically reduced the beaver population across the region in an effort to thwart competition. The extent of the impact on riparian zones is not documented, but can be assumed to be significant. Similarly, the introduction of horses to the area in the 1700s led to an increase in deliberately set fires to provide additional grasslands for grazing.
But the arrival of significant numbers of settlers in the 1840s marked an acceleration in the rate of change for the watershed. Agricultural 'improvements' drained riparian wetlands, and logging stripped the forest cover. Road and rail transportation systems concentrated polluted runoff and allowed more widespread resource extraction. The growth of towns added municipal sewage and industrial wastes to the river.
Portland was founded in 1843 and by 1850 had a population of about 800, a sawmill, hotel, and newspaper. In 1891 an election consolidated Portland with Albina and East Portland, towns on the east bank of the Willamette River. By the early 1900s, much of the floodplain and riparian area along the river had been filled for urban development.
Portland's location at the confluence of two major river systems played an important role in its development. William G. Robbins described the efforts to 'improve' the region's waterways in his book, Landscapes of Promise:
"For the Pacific Northwest, few aspects of human cultural activity were more visibly obvious than the myriad efforts to divert and control the region's extensive waterways. Although the region's major streams – the Columbia, Snake, and Willamette – were the focal point of much of the attention, developers, commercial shippers, engineers, and a broad array of agricultural groups expressed interest in virtually every stream and waterway. Collectively that industrial modeling of Northwestern rivers including the dredging and channeling of streams, building jetties, and erecting dams to improve navigation, control flooding, provide water for irrigation, and generate electricity."
On the Willamette, the work began in the 1860s with snag-pulling operations to improve navigation for river transportation of wheat. Diking, bank hardening, and dredging increased in the Portland Harbor as grain and lumber shipping became important economic activities. Floodplain and wetland areas, including Guilds Lake in northwest Portland, were filled to make room for development. A causeway connecting Swan Island to the east bank redirected the river's channel, and the increased flow helped eliminate a troublesome rapid that impeded navigation.
By the late 1800s the Willamette's seasonal flooding had become a serious issue for the growing towns along the river. Several, including Portland, built revetments and other bank treatments to contain the flood waters. In the 1930s industrial, commercial, and agricultural interests had joined forces with local political leaders and the Army Corps of Engineers to promote the Willamette Plan. The plan called for a system of dams on the Willamette and its major tributaries for flood control, irrigation, and power. Over the next 40 years dam construction changed the natural flow regime of the basin, eliminating both the flood waters of the winter and spring and the low flows of the summer and fall.
Portland continued to grow, annexing large areas of unincorporated Multnomah County generally east of SE 82nd Avenue in the 1980s. Some of the former industrial areas along the river have been redeveloped for commercial and residential uses. Most of the urban area is already developed, but infill construction and an increase in apartment and condominum construction have increased density, a trend that is expected to continue.
Site-specific development patterns are described for each subwatershed.
Employment data are based on Metro's estimates of retail, non-retail and total employment by Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ).
Future Zoning
Descriptions of comprehensive plan zoning designations, and how they correspond to current zoning, are provided for each subwatershed. A table summarizes total acres for each zone. For brief descriptions of current and comprehensive plan zones and a link to the City of Portland's zoning code, (click here).
Impervious Area
Estimates of total impervious area are provided for each subwatershed. A table summarizes impervious area, divided into three categories: buildings, streets, and parking lots. These figures are estimates and may contain inaccuracies. For example, the estimates of street acreage may include both pervious and impervious (dirt) streets and public rights of way where streets have not been built.
Metro Goal 5 Habitat Inventories
Metro has developed an inventory of regionally significant riparian and wildlife habitat resources as the initial step in developing a regional program to comply with State Land Use Planning Goal 5.
Open Space
A brief description and summary table of open space is provided for each subwatershed. Both public and private open space is included.
Overlay Zones
Plan Districts
Plan districts address concerns unique to an area when other zoning mechanisms cannot achieve the desired results. An area may be unique based on natural, economic or historic attributes; be subject to problems from rapid or severe transitions of land use; or contain public facilities which require specific land use regulations for their efficient operation. Plan districts provide a means to modify zoning regulations for specific areas defined in special plans or studies. Each plan district has its own nontransferable set of regulations. This contrasts with base zone and overlay zone provisions which are intended to be applicable in large areas or in more than one area(City of Portland Bureau of Planning, Title 33, Chapter 33.500).
Population for each subwatershed has been estimated using 2000 US Census data at the tract level.
Public Land
A brief description and summary table of public land is provided for each subwatershed.
Urban Renewal Areas
The Portland Development Commission (PDC) has designated urban renewal areas throughout the city. Specific plans in each area guide development.
Vacant Land
Vacant land, identified by Metro in 1999 using aerial photography, is defined as tax lots that have no buildings, improvements or identifiable land use. Additionally, if a developed tax lot has ½ acre or greater portion that is vacant, the vacant portion is considered vacant land. Parks and open spaces are not considered vacant land.

Laura Spinney says that excited delirium (ED) sufferers "experience a dangerous rise in body temperature", that "other experts believe the emphasis should be on changing police practice to avoid forms of restraint that make it more likely that ED patients will die" and quotes Steven Karch as saying that "even with optimum medical care they don't stand much chance".
Surely, to prevent ED deaths in custody, the emphasis should be on identifying ED sufferers so that they can receive "optimum medical care". This could be as simple as taking the temperature of detainees who act strangely, and needn't be difficult or invasive, as an approximate temperature obtained with a simple LCD strip on the forehead should be enough to identify high-risk individuals. This might also identify other health problems that need attention.

Mike Ambassador Bruny is a conference networking speaker and creator of "The New Art of Conference Networking: Hashtags to Handshakes."YEC
I thought about the challenges we faced in the people space and crafted a proposal which laid out information about the program I was currently in, how my new skills could benefit the company, how I proposed to use my training (through a series of workshops I would hold), what I'd already invested personally (cash and time) and what I was asking of them.
I set up a face-to-face meeting with my boss to go over the proposal. He had no hesitation about bringing it to the senior staff for approval, but senior staff is a whole other level to work through. After not hearing back for several weeks, I followed up directly with my boss's boss. I would swing by her desk in the morning to see if she was around and stayed late to catch her, too.
They approved my request, but it's important to note that I was ready for a "no." If they had not approved the proposal, I was prepared with questions about what it would take to get something like this approved in the future. Never take "no" personally.
My new credentials are nice, but you still have to take opportunities to prove yourself. For my part, I volunteered to train a few safety classes for me shift, where I got to transcend my title, engage my colleagues and bring an otherwise boring subject to life. My ability to do that, and ask good questions, came as a direct result of my training and practicum as a life coach. Outside the corporation, I leverage my training in my own program, "The New Art of Conference Networking: #Hashtags to Handshakes."
What was the key to my success?

There has been some surprising but welcomed (at least by those who'd like to win in Afghanistan) opposition to firing Gen. Stanley McChrystal over his Rolling Stone interview. The Washington Post editors reel off three reasons not to accept the general's resignation:
First, Gen. McChrystal is the architect of a crucial counterinsurgency campaign underway in southern Afghanistan — a strategy Mr. Obama approved after months of deliberation last year. … Second, whatever his reputation in Washington, Gen. McChrystal has built strong ties with the Afghan and Pakistani officials whose cooperation is vital to the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. … Most important, the inflammatory comments in the Rolling Stone article are symptomatic of a deeper dysfunction for which Gen. McChrystal is not chiefly responsible. As we pointed out on this page last week, the administration's performance in Afghanistan has been hamstrung by continuing differences between civilian officials and military commanders that date to the debate over strategy last year. …
Mr. Obama has tolerated this feuding, with consequences that include poor coordination of military and civilian operations and deteriorating relations with Mr. Karzai. His dismissal of Gen. McChrystal would hand a victory to those in his administration who have resisted the counterinsurgency operations.
There is a fourth reason: Obama needs to shed his peevish and self-absorbed persona, to demonstrate to friends and foes that he can command a war effort, and to dispel the growing perception that he's in over his head. He doesn't do this by being the tough guy with the general, whom we have relied on to win the war. (And by the way, if McChrystal does quit, won't we hear a whole lot more from him about the civilian officials who've been making the military's job harder?) For a president very much concerned about his own image, maybe the most compelling argument for him to keep McChrystal is this: it'll make Obama look good.

His songs have left an indelible mark on the identity of urban blues. His many classics are known primarily in their renditions by other stellar blues luminaries, but his fully engaged manner lit up his own studio work as well.

Forget about Windows RT
Trust me, I have done the whole windows RT / windows 8 tablet thing to death and am now on my FIFTH! different win8 tablet
RT uses arm (snapdragon) processor so is unable to run any x86 application. You might not be THAT bothered, but until you really use it in anger you can tell the small subtle differences between RT and full blown 8.
If price is an issue (guessing not since you had an ipad) look at the atoms. Initially I was very sceptical about atoms since I always thought they were too slow and useless. Turns out the atoms are faster in everything over arm and tegra.
The ASUS ME400C is my personal favourite as it represents fantastic value for money. THIN (were talking ipad 2 thin), LIGHT (again, as light as an ipad 2), Fantastic Battery life, CHEAP! £300 cheap! That's amazing for what you are getting.
I was almost about to put down a lot of money for the intel I series tablet like a Surface pro, till I actually had hold of one. They are too thick and battery not as good IMHO
However.....whatever you buy will be a HUGE leap over the ipad. It took me a good couple of weeks to adjust. Remember, windows RT / 8 tablets are NOT tablets. They are laptops in a tablet case. If you're ok with that you're gonna LOVE IT!
there's your problem. You're pretending like WinRT is a full blown OS. It's not. It's more like a "tablet OS plus" - a tablet OS but has bonus features like MSO. But still, it was never meant to be a desktop replacement.

Thanks to generous folks and organizations in our community, the North Omaha Tool Library has collected a wide variety of tools for many jobs — whether it be re-tiling your bathroom or building shelving or planting a garden or preserving vegetables. Instead of buying expensive tools that may sit most their lives in your garage, why not borrow the tools you need when you need them? This way every tool can serve many people, and save you money! North Omaha Tool Library is the first and only tool library in Nebraska — with your support it will become an example for many like it to emerge!
Becoming eligible to borrow tools from the North Omaha Tool Library is easy. Any person over 18 living in the Omaha area can do it. Simply come into the tool library during open hours with the following: recent mail (for address confirmation) and a completed Indemnification and Waiver, and one of our friendly volunteers will make it official. With your library card, you can borrow 8 tools at a time for a week at a time. Tools cannot be reserved, but will be loaned on a first come-first serve basis. Late fees will be charged every day after a tool becomes late.

The North Omaha Tool Library aims to build a community of knowledgeable tool users and create a network of resources encouraging more people to do it themselves! Whether creative or practical, taking projects into your own hands is a step towards bringing real power to the people. Meanwhile, the benefits of a tool library are very direct; we can save you a lot of money that may be spent purchasing tools, and we can connect you with folks that may have the skills you would like to gain!
The Tool Library is constantly in need of folks who can help repair tools, and update our inventory. We need tool and tech saavy volunteers who want to engage in their community. Additionally, any tool library is dependent on donations of tools as well as dollars to keep us running. Please check out our donate page to find out if you may have tools we're looking for!

Jeffersonville Italian FestivalRead MoreIn polite company, one should never slurp spaghetti or eat dinner with sauce all over their chin. But such propriety flies out the window during the spaghetti-eating contest at the Jeffersonville Italian Festival, when participants vie to scarf down heaps of pasta the fastest. The festival's cake- and cannoli-eating contests likewise require speedy mastication, but languorous visitors can take their time savoring the Italian cuisine served by local vendors, enjoying it alfresco among friends and neighbors. In between bites of chicken parmesan or tiramisu, attendees can also show off their artistic sides with crafts or two-step to Italian tunes crooned by live musicians.129 West Court AvenueJeffersonville, IN US

Promoting better tenure and responsible natural resource management
Secure and equitable access to natural resources is key for sustainable development, and good governance of tenure is crucial in determining how people and communities acquire access and rights to control land, fisheries and forests.
An agreement signed by FAO and the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Centre (CATIE) aims to foster dialogues, promote South-South knowledge exchange, and inform policies in order to enhance the responsible governance of tenure of land and natural resources, and therefore boost food security in developing countries.
"This partnership with CATIE will build the capacities of current and future leaders to create innovative strategies for the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources," said FAO Deputy Director-General, Coordinator Natural Resources, Maria Helena Semedo, at the signing ceremony.
"FAO recognizes CATIE as a Center for Knowledge on integrated agriculture and natural resource management, contributing towards the achievement of food security. Our institutions will join forces to strengthen South-South and triangular cooperation with member nations. I am sure that, working together, we will contribute to the sustainable and hunger-free future we all want," Semedo added.
Some of the foreseen activities envisaged under this agreement are to prepare and implement project proposals as partners, approach potential donors and aid agencies for strengthening capacities of integrated management of agriculture, forestry, agroforestry and conservation of natural resources, focused on family farming.
The joint mobilization of technical expertise for thematic interventions (South-South Cooperation and Triangular Cooperation), the organization of training and workshops and the facilitation of access to learning resources are other key activities.
Putting guidelines on tenure into play
Today's agreement underscores the importance of FAO's Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests.
"The partnership between FAO and CATIE is an excellent opportunity to collaborate in the context of the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines in order to achieve FAO Strategic objectives, mainly the eradication of hunger", Director of FAO's Office for Partnerships, Advocacy and Capacity Development, said.
"We invite the international community, regional and sub-regional groups, states and entities, and all non-state actors to join the implementation process of the guidelines and become agents for change," Rolf Hackbart, Deputy Director of FAO's Office for Partnerships, Advocacy and Capacity Development, said.
"Only a joint, constructive and results-based effort with all the sectors involved can guarantee food security for all," he added.
Based in Costa Rica, CATIE is an international, interdisciplinary centre that specializes in agriculture and natural resources, combining academia with outreach, and innovative solutions for sustainable development. Its regular members include the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) as well as the governments of Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and Venezuela. Spain and the state of Acre in Brazil are affiliated members.
Empowering the poor and vulnerable
During the signing ceremony, CATIE Director-General José Joaquín Campos presented his organization's systemic-approaches, and particularly the Climate-Smart Territories (CST) approach in the tropics as a tool to achieve sustainable and inclusive human well-being. The approach seeks to reconcile food production the need to both help agriculture adapt to climate change as well as reduce its own emissions of greenhouse gases.
"If we want to address the issues which we are confronting today, the challenges, through climate smart agriculture we need technologies, that is true, but we also need the collective action, the partnerships at the land scape scale for bringing a change. We are in an urgent situation, for that we need policies, institutions, incentives for an enabling environment, so people will have access and the rights to use and manage natural resources in a sustainable manner: land, forests, fisheries. This is very important and I congratulate FAO for taking the lead in promoting the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines", said Mr Campos during the event.
Establishing and protecting rights to resources, especially for the most vulnerable, is a key element of the approach.
Where the poor and vulnerable have limited and insecure rights to land and other natural resources, it is difficult for them to climb out of hunger and poverty. Conversely, equitable and secure rights support social and economic development and environmental sustainability.
Costa Rica's Permanent Representative to FAO, Ambassador Fernando Sánchez, stressed his country's commitment to South-South cooperation and called the formalized CATIE-FAO alliance "a natural fit."
He also expressed his government's willingness to offer its expertise in the areas forest management, agriculture, and sustainable tourism.

The legendary ride of steel: that's what these bikes are all about. There is an allure to steel that transcends its traditional artisan appeal. And that's its ride quality. "Stiff but buttery smooth" is the phrase most often used to express that quality. It's the benchmark against which all other frame materials are measured. The Jamis Satellite Comp 2013 Road Bike is crafted from classic Reynolds 520 double-butted chromoly which rides smoother & more comfortably than comparably priced aluminium framed bikes thanks to the natural shock damping properties of steel.

...just change the name to Blu-ray Radio!
Afterall, HD DVD has now lost the war to Sony's Blu-ray format - what with Best Buy, Netflix and now Wal-Mart delivering crushing blows by siding with Blu-ray exclusively (and reports coming in that Toshiba is ready to throw in the towel). So I think the terrestrial radio camp should reconsider its naming convention for HD Radio.
Since that "HD" distinction doesn't mean anything anyway, they might as well rebrand themselves once again for another year of stellar sales.
"Quite honestly, it doesn't stand for anything," said Peter Ferrera, president and CEO of the HD Digital Radio Alliance, told the LA Times. "The concept was somewhat of a steal from HD television, where viewers know it means better quality."
That approach didn't work for Toshiba... and if they're not bound to pesky acronyms that actually mean something, why not give it a shot?

GOATS and other animals which fight by banging their horns together have highly efficient shock absorbers built into their skulls, say two American biologists. Without them, the animals would literally tear their heads apart.
We usually think of our skulls as bony crash helmets designed to protect our brains from injury. But many animals use their skulls and horns as offensive weapons in head-to-head combat. Biologists have estimated that the skulls of some of the most ferocious head-bangers, such as male bighorn sheep which inhabit the mountains and canyons of North America, must experience forces up to sixty times greater than that needed to fracture a human skull. Just how they avoid cracking their heads open, however, has been a matter of scientific debate.
Caroline Jaslow of Rhodes College in Memphis and Andrew Biewener of the University of Chicago are the first biologists to look in detail at how force ...

BONIFAY — After the recent resignation of two Holmes County Development Commission members, the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners held a special session on April 16 to appoint two more members.
BOCC approved of Commissioner Bill Parish's recommendation of Raymon Thomas and Commissioner David Whitaker's recommendation of Chuck Dockery.
Chair Monty Merchant said there was only one more resignation that needs attending to, which is Lenora Campbell.
"It's time to take a serious look at the development commission and get the ball rolling," said Merchant. "There still isn't a director yet but there's a crowing concern about the development commission. I've had questions to me about the development commission having a lot of money and wondering what they are doing for the county."
Parish said one problem with the development commission is "low attendance, apathy and lack of participation."
"We need to take a stronger look at how we choose those members," said Parish.
Commissioner Bobby Sasnett said they needed ambitious individuals.
"What we need is some go-getters," said Sasnett. "Young, intelligent and willing to work."
County Attorney Jeff Goodman recommended that the BOCC hold a workshop with the HCDC after the last new member is appointed and had "time to settle in" and discuss roles, responsibilities and goals.
"It's important that the board encourages things to get moving," said Merchant. "Get them on helping our businesses and to bring new businesses in."
BOCC approved of Merchant's request to start their mosquitoes spraying immediately.
"We've already started getting complaints about mosquitoes," said Merchant. "I know we said we'd start around May 1 to mid May, but can't we start immediately? We'll retain the same six-month period, we're just starting early."
BOCC approved signing Proclamation Viva Florida 500, recognizing the 500th anniversary of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon's landing on Florida's coast in April 1513.
BOCC agreed to fight the new legislative Medicare county cost, which would push their payments from $280 a year to $1,700, which is a 62 percent increase.
"Please contact your senator and share with them your feelings," said Merchant.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the HC BOCC is set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30 at the BOCC located next to the Holmes County Court House.

Actually, they controlled their own destiny even if they lost to the Vikings.

People on 'ludes should not rescue people
Penn, 45, said he was in the city to aid stranded victims of flooding sparked by Hurricane Katrina, but the small boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.
The outspoken actor had planned to rescue children marooned by the waters, but apparently forgot to bung a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water moments after being launched.
When the boat's motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down a flooded New Orleans' street.
Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: "Whatever I can do to help."
But with the boat loaded with members of the Oscar-winner's entourage, including his personal photographer, one bystander taunted: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"
The Courier-Mail: Singers protest, Penn paddles
Ok, I can't help it, this is funny.
While pretty funny, apparently he did actually rescue some people.

In March, just 88,000 hired; jobless rate dips
Posted: April 6, 2013 at 3:35 a.m.
U.S. employers increased their payrolls by 88,000 last month, compared with 268,000 in February, according to a Labor Department report released Friday. It was the slowest pace of growth since June, and less than half of what economists had expected.

Commerce Secretary Gary Locke Appoints Pauline Medrano As Vice Chair of 2010 Census Advisory Committee
Public Information Office
e-mail: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Release Information
Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke has named Dallas Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Pauline Medrano as vice chair of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 Census Advisory Committee, which provides advice on the design and implementation of the 2010 Census.
"Pauline worked on the 1980 Census and her background, education and work experiences will be invaluable to the work of the 2010 Census Advisory Committee," Locke said.
Twenty organizations are represented on the 2010 Census Advisory Committee, including data users and experts in the statutory and constitutional uses of decennial census data. The committee membership also includes ex-officio members representing the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
"The 2010 Census Advisory Committee provides important advice and guidance to the U.S. Census Bureau," said Census Bureau Director Robert M. Groves. "I look forward to working with Pauline and the rest of the committee to ensure a complete and accurate 2010 Census."
Medrano has served on the Dallas City Council since 2005. She is also a board member of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund and a member of the National League of Cities. A graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington, she worked as a crew leader during the 1980 Census. She remains actively involved in all aspects of the Dallas community.
The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States and is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Census data are used to distribute congressional seats to states, to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year and to make decisions about what community services to provide. The 2010 Census questionnaire will be one of the shortest in history, consisting of 10 questions and taking about 10 minutes to complete. Strict laws protect the confidentiality of respondents and the information they provide.
