Reality is far more complicated than most reporters or politicians care to contemplate. For example, several studies have shown that when immigration laws are enforced more strictly, black employment rises. The simple fact is that many Latino immigrants undercut black wages in lower skilled jobs. On the other hand, government quotas for minority-owned contracting have been shown to discriminate against Latino-owned businesses in favor of black-owned businesses. The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recently filed a complaint in Milwaukee alleging that they were being punished for their industry and success. This doesn't even begin to explore the competition for college admissions spots made more complex by racial quotas.
As a pastor, I am proud to have blacks and Latinos worshipping side by side in the churches that are part of my new network of churches (International Communion of Evangelical Churches). I have learned on the job that you cannot lump Puerto Ricans in with Mexicans or Guatemalans any more than you can lump Nigerians in with Kenyans, or blacks from the Bronx in with blacks from South Carolina. Race relations are complicated, far more complicated than the "whites oppressing blacks and others" narrative allows us to appreciate. There is no cheap policy fix for racial ignorance and hatred, and I've learned that the only way trust can be built between people of different backgrounds is through meaningful dialogue and relationships.
Although race relations in the United States have a long way to go, Juan Williams rightly pointed out in the Wall Street Journal that young black murder victims are far more likely to be killed by other blacks than by members of other races. He correctly calls the entertainment industry to task for perpetuating the stereotype of young black males as violent gangsters. All of us can recognize that it is difficult for black crime victims to find justice, whoever their assailants, and still know that there is much work the black community needs to do on itself.
There are no easy answers in the Trayvon Martin case: this was not Emmett Till, Part II. The black community has a different set of challenges to face today than we did in the days of lynching, and we will only make progress if we can face them honestly.

Home / Emirates set to expand services to Saudi Arabia
Emirates set to expand services to Saudi Arabiaby Andy Sambidge on Jan 27, 2013
Emirates Airline is set to offer 20 more flights each week from its hub in Dubai to Saudi Arabia from next month.
The Dubai airline said in a statement that from February 2, Riyadh flights will increase from 17 to 28 a week, while services to Jeddah jump from 18 to 21.
The city of Dammam will also receive an extra six services, becoming 13 flights a week, the statement said.
Emirates also said the daily flight to Al Medinah al Munawarah will continue - taking the airline's Saudi flights to a total of 69 per week.
"Stepping up our presence in Saudi brings greater convenience to customers and more opportunities to enjoy the world-renowned Emirates' experience," said Adil Al Ghaith, Emirates' vice president, Saudi Arabia & Bahrain.
"This is not only good news for travellers, it's also good news for business. Travelling executives have a wider variety of flights to choose from and importers and exporters can benefit from extra cargo capacity on the additional frequencies," he added.
Emirates serves four gateways in Saudi Arabia - Al Medinah al Munawarah, Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah, which is served by the airline's A380.
On Saturday, Emirates said it will offer a triple daily A380 service to Jeddah to support school holiday demand, while making it even easier to travel to the popular Dubai Shopping Festival.

Director of photography Lisa Wiegand is using a variety of Fujinon HD lenses to shoot the ABC series "Detroit 1-8-7," mounted on Panasonic VariCam 3700 P2 HD camcorders. The crew shoots each one-hour episode in approximately eight days.
The equipment package used on-set was supplied by Fletcher Camera and Lenses, a rental house in Chicago, and includes an HD ENG wide-angle lens with 2x extender, HD telephoto lens and HD ENG/EFP lens. The Fujinon HA42x9.7BERD lens is also used for the show on occasion.
Wiegand said she was going for a documentary-style look, and chose the lightweight Fujinon ENG lenses because camera operators are holding the cameras 90 percent of the time.
A clip from the show can be viewed online.

Mothers with children to different men

I know someone who has children with different fathers. She is a good mum, no different to any other mums I know, she works, she's not on benefits, she's not tarty, in a relationship or looking for one
She doesnt tell anyone xcept close friends and family that the children have different dads, if asked directly she'll lie and say no they all have the same father. i think she shouldnt have to, but she thinks because of stigma to her and her kids she does have to.
Sooooooo i thought Id ask what people thought. Are mothers with different fathers for their kids usually judged harshly, even if theyre good mothers? do you think that say, two different fathers is understandable, but three or more indicates some character flaw of the woman?
(obviously I don't think this,, myself)
Posted 31 October 2010 - 07:53 PM
Each to their own I guess.
Who am I to judge a perfectly capable mum if she has several children to different men, it doesn't worry me I know a few women in this situation and I treat them the same as my friends with 3 children to the same father.
Posted 31 October 2010 - 07:54 PM
Some people THINK it reflects poorly on the mother and the children, but the reality is it is no real indication of who or what that person is. Pre-conceived ideas and stereotypes are more often than not way off the mark.
Unfortunately doesn't stop it from happening. Some people choose to believe what they want, even if it has no connection to reality whatsoever.

Even the fact you needed to qualify this way, sadly, speaks volumes
Personally, I wouldn't judge. My brother & I have different dads. It makes no difference, we are still 100% family.
Are they 'usually' judged? I don't know, I guess the only people that would know are mums in this situation *toddles off to ask mine*
Posted 31 October 2010 - 07:55 PM
My DS has a different bio dad. It is a non issue for us. People don't know unless it comes up, I am not ashamed of it at all. All my kids look totally different from each other so no one picks up on it.
My Dad's ex on the other hand has 5 kids, the 1 and 3 have the same dad. 2 has a different dad but thinks that 1 and 3's dad is her dad. 3 thinks that my dad is her dad. 4 and 5 are my dad's kids, they live with him. She is now pregnant to a 4th man with #6. She is the stereotype, on welfare and her parenting borders on neglect the majority of the time To quote another eb'er this week, call me judgy mcjudgy.

That is what I thought.
What if there are two different fathers due to the death of the first partner? Does that make a difference?
Posted 31 October 2010 - 08:01 PM
Despite your carefully crafted question, what you seem to be asking is 'are they sl*ts? How many different fathers before they are or are not?'
Presumably your objective is to stir up a fight, over a meaningless 'issue'.
Posted 31 October 2010 - 08:03 PM
Huh, well if they are judged, one day I guess I will be too. I have no intention of ever letting my ex near me with a 50ft pole, so if I choose to have another child at a later stage, they will have different fathers.
Posted 31 October 2010 - 08:03 PM

Posted 31 October 2010 - 08:10 PM
I think there would be judgement if, for example, the women had 2 or 3 kids with minimal age gaps to 2/3 different fathers. ie one night stands ending in pregnancy.
I think that is very different to someone being in long term relationships having kids with each long term partner.
I will admit I would and have judged on women that have multiple kids to multiple partners (using the first example above, not the second).
They might be the worlds best parent to the kids but not the smartest.
What about fathers with children to different women?
My opinion is the same for both male and female. I recall the famous quote from the 80's "if it's not on, it's not on". Some people need to be reminded of this I think.

I was just thinkng about it today, because she thinks if she tells people they will stigmatise her. I didnt think they would. Im not in that situation so I dont know the reality of what she deals with or even if people in general do judge her. There's nothing whatsover wrong with her as a person or a mother.

1. I think yes they probably are judged, whether that's harsh or not depends on whether you subscribe to it!
2. I think most people don't know if someone's a good mother or not so that part is hardly relevant. You can spot someone not being obviously a bad mother (running around with different men, having them
3. I think at some point it is indicative of a character flaw. I don't make a blanket call on how many but the fewer the better and if you have kids very close in age to different fathers that looks much worse imho. I know a woman who has 2 kids barely 15 months apart to 2 different men and a3rd child to a 3rd man only 2 years younger.. Basically she slept around a lot.
Posted 31 October 2010 - 08:13 PM
People have children to more than one father for all sorts of reasons. I don't think it is anything to be ashamed of per se, but the fact that she lies about it speaks volumes about her own comfort with her situation.
I find women who lurch from relationship to relationship a bit sad to be honest. What is wrong with them that they can't function without a man in their lives?
One of my closest friends has kids to two fathers. The first guy was just a dipsh*t. Her DH is a great guy. There's no reason to think ill of her for one bad decision.
Posted 31 October 2010 - 08:14 PM
I have someone close to me who has 3 kids to 3 different fathers. She was married to her first child's father and they divorced. Second child she had a holiday romance and fell pregnant (and he didn't want anything to do with her or the baby - ETA - she had IVF for her first child and took her many attempts to have her, so she didn't think she was fertile - but she was on the pill..). She just remarried and her and her new DH have a baby. So 3 kids / 3 dads - but it isn't like she was selling herself on the street. I have to admit a few people close to her (and me) do make smart a*se comments about it, but I just remind them of males we know who have fathered quite a few different kids to different mothers, but they don't see the kids and whinge about the huge amount of child support they pay .
My opinion is the same for both male and female. I recall the famous quote from the 80's "if it's not on, it's not on". Some people need to be reminded of this I think.
I agree!!

I think it says a lot about you that you only focus on the mother in this equation, and make little reference to the father(s).

FWIW, my SIL has 3 children to 3 different fathers. There are reasons for it to which it's none of my business to share. I don't think she has a problem with telling people or that anyone else cares. She hasn't felt judged from what I can tell so perhaps your friend has had a bad experience with someone being rude?
Perhaps it helps that the fathers are active participants in financially and emotionally supporting their child. If she'd been left in the lurch it might be different - meaning I can imagine she would end up being the one who's hard on herself, as opposed to society.

Welll..My eldest 2 are to my highschool love who i was with from 14-24. My middle 3 are to my ex husband and my last 2 are to my exp.
Am I judged? Probably although most people are surprised to find that I am a single parent so very few really think further than that.
Do I care if I am judged? Nope. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Other people's societal standards mean squat to me

I was asked this question today. Not what I think of women with children to different men but if my eldest is my husbands.
I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of in regards to re-partnering and having more children. I do think it's a bit icky the women who go from man to man having kid to kid, whether it be one night stands of short relationships.

If you think all workwear is the same, you've never experienced the fashionable comfort of wearing the best work gear. Look for the shorts, jeans, and pants you need to get the job done, and top off your choices with the right shirts, sweatshirts, welding jackets, work gloves, and headwear. Add underwear, flame-resistant fabrics to keep you safe, w...ork gloves, headwear, belts, and suspenders - and you've got more than enough workwear to keep you at peak performance. You'll even find protective body armor, and a whole selection of workwear dedicated solely to Carhartt women. Slip into coveralls, like the Dickies 3399GY Unlined Short Sleeve Coveralls, to get all-over protection, or go for a uniform look with Red Kap uniforms and other workwear-making professionals. Having the right workwear makes all the difference, keeping you from having a wrong feeling in the workplace.(Learn More About Workwear)(See less)
The work pants that I ordered from you are great. I am required to wear them for my delivery job and the company that I am contracted to attempts to have me purchase from them when they have doubled the price. So not only was your pricing great the fit was perfect. Being self employed I do not need to purchase much but believe me when I say that I will purchase from you,. I also know many people who have to purchase work wear on their own and have recommended you to all of them. Thanks again!"

Sean Penn Makes Appeal on Behalf of Haredi Businessman
Actor Comes Out in Support of Jacob Ostreicher
By: David Shear
The former Mr. Madonna, Sean Penn, is arguably one of the finest American actors working today.
But Penn, who played a hands-on role helping the victims of Haiti's 7.0 magnitude 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince and killed an estimated 220,000 is also a well known and well respected social activist.
And Penn is back in the news for all the right reasons again these days as he has taken a personal interest in a decidedly Jewish story.
On May 20th, Penn personally attended a congressional hearing on behalf of an Orthodox man from Brooklyn currently being detained in Bolivia under house arrest.
The man in question in Jacob Ostreicher, a 54-year-old haredi father of five, had invested money in a rice-growing business in Bolivia and, while he was there recently to have a look at how his business venture was developing, he was arrested on suspicion of being involved with drug traffickers and money launderers.
And, despite any real evidence implicating Ostreicher, and the fact that 13 of his accusers are now in prison themselves, he's already been held in Bolivia for more than two years.
Penn told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that Ostreicher is in danger because his Bolivian enemies want to kill him.
"I believe Jacob's life is in danger as we sit here today," the film star, an Oscar winner for "Dead Man Walking," said.
During his address, Penn urged Congress to write letters of support for Ostreicher to sponsors of the Dakar Rally motorcycle race which, in 2014, will go through Bolivia. Penn also addressed the horrible living conditions the man has had to endure in prison, which he said: "receives a delivery of body bags to the front gate on a weekly basis and feeds it's prisoners 18-cents worth of mulchy broth twice daily from a trough."
"As an actor, I have been in good movies and bad ones. I have never seen a worse movie, nor more arch-villainy on such a caricturish or humanly diabolical level as I witnessed in that court room," Penn said, referring to when Ostreicher was removed from prison and put under house arrest approximately five months ago.

An Introduction to Strategic Roadmapping Roadmapping has emerged as a best practice for aligning business functions with corporate strategy and projecting with precision into the future. But what does "roadmapping" involve? This paper explains the fundamentals behind roadmapping, including what it is, how companies are using roadmapping, and the results they are attaining. The word "roadmap" generally evokes images of a one-dimensional map with lines representing roads drawn upon it. The roads are shown intersecting, circum- navigating, running in parallel and sometimes dead-ending. All of the roads are bi-directional, each affecting the course of the others that touch it. The term "roadmapping" injects action into the map. Roads are actually being used to map a course of action, resulting in a roadmap that provides direction. Taking it one step further, "strategic roadmapping" involves manipulating the information con- tained in roadmaps to plan the best course of action for the future, mapping actions to align with strategic objectives. Strategic roadmapping enables decision-makers to gain a multidimensional view into the future and manipulate planning data to reveal the outcomes of their planning scenarios. Creating roadmaps allows companies to project far into the future with the confi- dence that their strategic decisions are fueled by high-quality, up-to-date information. Roadmapping is about more than just moving ahead in a common direction; it pro- vides decision-makers with the confidence that they are moving ahead in the right direction. Roadmaps provide the framework for strategy creation. Roadmapping effectively turns strategy into action; tying strategic goals to tactical measures. This enables an organization to tie day-to-day planning and projects to business priorities. If applied as an enterprise framework, roadmapping has the potential to provide a bridge be- tween all the tactical decision processes, different business functions, and organiza- tions through the common element of time.1 Three Best Practices That Can Sustain the Flow of Innovation in Your Organization Page 3
Roadmaps Provide Strategic Views of Enterprise Plans Roadmaps are instrumental in increasing visibility, accountability, and collaboration at almost every level of planning, enabling stakeholders to see where they fit into the larger picture and what they are accountable for in the strategic process. In fact, thousands of leading companies around the world, including Motorola, Corning, Hewlett-Packard, and Lockheed Martin use roadmaps to improve planning processes that are responsible for sustaining and improving their business performance. "The implementation of roadmapping in an Roadmaps clarify thinking among stakeholders and enable the rapid communication and sharing of ideas. They also reveal valuable linkages among functional areas of a organization should be business that are often disconnected from each other, much like the roads that link managed as a process and disconnect across a map. Roadmaps should not just be viewed as the outputs of improvement of the current a process, but rather a snapshot of a "rolling" strategy at any moment in time.2 planning process and not an initiative unto its own."2 Roadmapping as a Business Process – Philip J. Whalen, PhD. Roadmapping is also a practice and a business process that involves capturing strate- Principal gic information on a timeline. This data typically relates to business vision, objectives, Whalen Management Group strategies, market requirements, product or service plans, technologies, and capabili- ties. The collected data is then fed into various roadmaps, which include a theme, timeline, time-based elements, and links among these elements. Common roadmaps include: market, product, competitive, technology, supplier, and regulatory/environmental roadmaps; and they typically reflect the planning horizon over multiple time periods. Time-based elements represent the availability of a technology, product, market or decision point. Often, the timing of an event may not be certain. Nevertheless, placing this information in the time domain is extremely important, in that it forces the enterprise to consider its implications. The concepts of scenarios and scenario planning also apply to roadmapping. If the timing of an event, such as a new competing product introduction, has a great degree of uncertainty, two or more scenarios may be mapped. The key is to capture the knowledge and information that impacts the enterprise so that it can be used in formulating strategic plans and business decisions. For example, Corning, a leading diversified technology company, focused on entering new markets, but strategic planning across the organization was not aligned with portfolio planning, R&D efforts or market trends. The company used roadmapping across three divisions to align corporate strategy, R&D and portfolio planning. This helped them identify and select new market opportunities, enter markets early, and earn positive returns for the company within 24 months. The company also saw a decrease in development costs due to fewer last-minute changes that were difficult to integrate further down the development chain.

How Roadmapping Is Being Used "Roadmapping has Roadmaps are being used by companies to create, maintain, share and visualize emerged as an extremely strategic planning information across the enterprise. Roadmaps define clear communication and relationships across products and suppliers, and within effective process for corporate strategies. Stakeholders can view role-based data representation and creating and visualizing see what is important to each specific user, thus raising the level of accountability, relationships among as each element in the roadmap has a specific participant tied to it. business functions in support of strategic Roadmaps are valuable strategy tools because at their core they are all about making decisions. "What-if" scenarios, technology implications, product evolution and technology planning."3 supplier collaboration are often dedicated subjects of detailed roadmaps that – University of Cambridge support product portfolio decisions, merger and acquisition decisions, and even end- of-life or divestiture decisions. Time provides a common denominator on which any number of dimensions can be played out in advance, creating a canvas on which uncertainty and opportunity are managed into highly probable choices that create a company's future. Roadmapping software makes this process even easier. For example, Motorola, a global communications leader, used roadmapping software to track and organize tens of thousands of product roadmap documents distributed across the enterprise. The company reported saving more than $100 million in 12 months by consolidating strategic product planning projects across business units. By halting development on a chip that would soon become obsolete, they saved an additional $100 million. Today, thousands of users actively plan, collaborate, and view Motorola's innovation projects and new potential products using roadmapping software. "Every enterprise needs a process to track innovations At Honeywell, the need for an improved roadmapping discipline grew out of a desire to improve the link between technology innovation, product development and cus- to determine tomer needs. The company sought a business strategy tool that would help them 1) their applicability to evaluate external conditions that impact their business, understand their planned the business, and investments, and decide how to achieve their business goals. In the first 12-18 2) if, and when, to months of deploying roadmapping software, the company improved visibility into implement.."4 upstream R&D efforts, ensuring that projects the company is investing in today are – Gartner on target with what's important to the company's future. They now have the ability to leverage roadmaps across their entire enterprise, quickly adjust to ever-changing conditions, and be confident that they are aligned with business objectives. As these examples demonstrate, roadmapping provides companies with a multidi- mensional view of events and other significant milestones as they are anticipated to take place across time. Motorola was able to save money by consolidating project resources. Honeywell was able to ensure that projects they're working on today are in line with what's important for their company's future. Corning was able to bring products to market faster. Companies that get the most out of their strategic roadmapping initiatives act decisively on the information revealed in their roadmaps. They take advantage of a roadmap's unique capability to create alignment among business functions that move in-and-out of synch, unnoticed. And, although companies often use roadmaps to share a plan, their purpose is often to stimulate thinking about how to improve a plan by managing the uncertainty that it contains. Three Best Practices That Can Sustain the Flow of Innovation in Your Organization Page 5
Roadmaps are effective because they manage uncertainty. This is often one of the elusive facts of roadmapping that is not easily understood. Yet, every plan to address the future must take into account the level of confidence in each part of the plan in order to identify and reduce uncertainty as the plan is further developed. Benefits of Roadmapping Using roadmapping as a strategic planning process, companies benefit from the increased visibility of plans. Such visibility makes it easier to model future scenarios for alternative investment opportunities. Executives no longer rely on "gut feel" to make decisions. Instead, they become informed decision makers who can view alternatives, perform 'what if' analysis and proceed with the best courses of action. Flexibility in roadmapping also allows for quick modification of product offerings to meet new market demands and adapt quickly to change. It promotes in-depth collaboration between the company, its customers, and suppliers. Roadmapping enables manufacturers to monitor the progress of any number of product development programs in real time and allows users to visualize where those projects fit into the larger network of collaborative development initiatives. It also increases cross-functional visibility, an advantage that can help uncover opportunities for the reuse of technology across the organization. Because redundant work is minimized and technology reuse is expanded, there are fewer product delays. Thus, time-to-market improves. Roadmapping is also an effective way to evaluate whether an organization's competencies and capabilities are improving over time. Benefits of Roadmapping Produces greater alignment between R&D spending and product development initiatives Sharpens clarity of strategic vision, resulting in better-informed decision making Manages data, product plans, and goals at a high level Links markets, products, technologies, capabilities, and supplier intent Enables discovery of technology re-use and synergy opportunities Reveals gaps, challenges, and uncertainties in product, technology, and capability plans Reveals long-term strategic weaknesses before they become critical Communicates and provides visibility into strategic program direction across the organization Enables growth of product portfolio in line with corporate and market demands Provides direction to project teams and enables them to quickly see changes in strategic events or direction Three Best Practices That Can Sustain the Flow of Innovation in Your Organization Page 6
Roadmapping With Software While the business value associated with strategic roadmapping is significant, the scope and complexity of managing so much roadmap information without software is daunting. Some organizations begin strategic roadmapping using Microsoft Power- Point®. However, the ever changing information quickly makes this approach unmanageable. Roadmapping software enables stakeholders to view dynamic planning information in real time, so critical decisions are based on the most current information. Robust roadmapping software does what no other planning solution can do: it makes it possible for a number of stakeholders to work collaboratively on any given project and reveals connections among other ongoing projects across vast enterprises. Vision StrategistTM software makes effectively managing innovation a reality. Vision Strategist streamlines the data gathering process, provides more accurate data, and offers insight into missing data and trends. It can gather, update and synthesize both structured and unstructured data, accelerating the information gathering process and making it easier to create repeatable innovation. Using Vision Strategist, organizations can share forward-looking product, market and technology plans over time, gaining visibility into constraints and dependencies as they emerge. By identifying relationships and linking projects in Vision Strategist, roadmap data can be easily shared, updated and integrated into other parts of the organization. Dynamic content is easily managed using a central repository for housing planning data. Because project plans are maintained centrally, whenever there is a change in a plan the software automatically generates an alert to stakeholders affected by that change, enhancing their ability to manage changing conditions.

text: courts Levee Board's Lead Attorney Explains Why He Took On Oil And Gas Lawsuit By Laine Kaplan-Levenson • Nov 18, 2014 Laine Kaplan-Levenson / WWNO On Tuesday, November 18, environmental reporter Bob Marshall of The Lens sat down with Gladstone Jones, the lead attorney in the lawsuit against oil and gas companies for coastal damages. Gladstone Jones signed his contract with the levee board based on a sliding scale. The 16 lawyers on the levee board's legal team will be paid between 22-32 percent, depending on the amount recovered. Judge Denies BP's Attempt To Avoid Up To $18 Billion In Fines By Bill Chappell • Nov 14, 2014 After a federal judge ruled that BP's "gross negligence" and "willful misconduct" were to blame for 2010's huge Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the company was exposed to billions in federal fines. The company asked the judge last month to reconsider. And on Thursday, he said no. The ruling against BP could trigger up to $18 billion in fines under the Clean Water Act — far more than the $3.5 billion the oil company has reportedly set aside for that purpose. NPR's Jeff Brady reports: Levee Board Lawsuit Heads To Federal Court By Associated Press • Nov 12, 2014 Lawyers for dozens of oil, gas and pipeline companies are heading to federal court in New Orleans. They will be making their case for dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a levee board. The Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East sued the companies last year. The board says coastal drilling and dredging has contributed to the loss of coastal wetlands that protect New Orleans from hurricanes. Today's hearing is before U.S. District Judge Nanette Brown. Hurricane Settlement Letters Mailed Out By Associated Press • Nov 10, 2014 Dan Machold / Flickr Letters are going out this week to residents and businesses in New Orleans, St. Bernard Parish and the east bank of Jefferson Parish notifying them they could receive payments ranging from $1 to $463 for flood damage during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The money is coming from a $20 million settlement reached in 2009 with the East Jefferson, Orleans and Lake Borgne Basin levee districts. Zulu Krewe Sues Former Member For Trademark Infringement By WWNO Staff • Nov 10, 2014 anthony posey / Flickr The Advocate reports that a federal hearing Monday may show who's legally entitled to use the Zulu Mardi Gras krewe's name on Facebook. Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club Inc. filed suit against a former associate member for trademark infringement. The lawsuit says the man set up a "Zulu Mardi Gras" Facebook page, and used club trademarks without permission in an attempt to sell invitations to the Zulu Mardi Gras ball, spots on a Zulu float, and one of the club's coveted coconut throws. Lawyers Called To Answer BP Spill Claims Fraud Allegations By Associated Press • Nov 7, 2014 Lawyers accused of mishandling damage claims from the 2010 BP oil spill are expected to testify today before a federal judge. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is scheduled to hear the matter. The lawyers are at the center of a 2013 probe conducted by former FBI director Louis Freeh. Claims of fraud are linked to a settlement of civil litigation that following the Deepwater Horizon offshore rig disaster. The lawyers set to testify today are expected to challenge the report's findings. State Sues Corps Of Engineers Over MRGO By Associated Press • Oct 29, 2014 Louisiana coastal restoration officials are suing a federal agency over the cost of fixing damage blamed on a now-closed south Louisiana waterway. The federal court lawsuit was filed Tuesday in New Orleans by the Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority. It notes that the man-made Mississippi River Gulf Outlet is widely blamed for contributing to flooding during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It says federal law ordering the closure of the channel also requires the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to restore wetlands damaged by years of poor maintenance of the waterway. Changes At Orleans Juvenile Court By Marcia Kavanaugh - WYES-TV • Oct 16, 2014 As part of the criminal justice reporting partnership between 89.9 WWNO and WYES-TV, Marcia Kavanaugh tells us about changes that are on the horizon for the New Orleans Juvenile Court. It is presently located at the corner of Poydras and Loyola Avenues, in the same building as Orleans Parish Civil District Court. It is identified by a door simple stating "Juvenile Court." But things are about to change — not only the court's address, but also the number of judges that occupy the juvenile court bench. What Do New Orleans Criminal Court Judges Do? By Marcia Kavanaugh • Oct 9, 2014 WYES Election Day is just weeks away. In Orleans Parish, voters will choose who will take a seat on the bench in two sections of Criminal District Court. In the continuing WWNO/WYES series on the Orleans Parish criminal justice system, WYES Community Projects Producer Marcia Kavanaugh helps us understand what the judges at Criminal Court actually do. Judge Rules Levee Authority Can Sue Oil And Gas Companies, Despite New Law By Associated Press • Oct 6, 2014 A state judge in Baton Rouge has ruled that Louisiana's Legislature missed its mark when it passed a bill seeking to halt a south Louisiana flood board's lawsuit against dozens of oil, gas and pipeline companies over coastal damage. The legislation prohibits state agencies and local governments from pursuing such suits. But state District Judge Janice Clark on Monday said the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East is neither a state agency nor a local government.

"Odor is one of the major issues. The waste also has a higher nutrient level as blood is rich in protein and nitrogen and those nutrients have to be properly disposed of."
Related quotes
"No one is ever a waste of time if you learn something from the experience. But if you consider people a waste of time well you are simply a waste of my time."
"Some nutrient-rich foods pack more nutrients than others, while some have other special qualities that give them an honored place on your plate. We call them power foods."
"Our results indicate that ice melts in one place and freezes in another. It is a mechanism by which nutrients can be input to the lake."
"We get a 90 to 95 percent kill ratio. That means the bacteria aren't around to munch on nutrients and give off gas, so a lot of the odor goes away."
"We could actually use more livestock from a nutrient point of view. With good equipment and trucks we are able to transport farther. Injection (into the soil) reduces odors and runoff, and conserves on nitrogen fertilizer by preventing loss by evaporation, but the narrow application window is difficult. It could be only three weeks for some individual farms and 60 days overall, primarily in fall after harvest."

Interview with Jon "Maddog" Hall about the upcoming LinuxWorld UK
I was lucky enough to interview Jon "Maddog" Hall, one of the speakers of the upcoming LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in London.
TM: Your name is so well-known that you don't even need an introduction. How are you keeping yourself busy these days?
JH: I do consulting for a number of companies, as well as trying to switch Linux International from a vendor organization to an end user organization. Linux International has never been a paying position, I have always had it as a volunteer job. I still travel 'round the world talking about free software, but lately I am talking more about techniques of migration and integration than just how to make money, save money and increase software value with free software.
TM: You were working for Digital and managed to get Linux's first port (to Alpha processors). So, you must have been truly excited about Linux from day one. Are you still as inspired today?

An open source mapping primer
You now need a way to embed a map, manipulate the map tiles, and overlay other data onto the map. Leaflet is a popular choice for doing this. It's an open source Javascript library that lets you easily create "slippy" maps with tiled base layers, panning and zooming, and various layered features such as markers at specific geographical coordinates (i.e. latitude and longitude). It handles interactions with the map, has a fairly rich and well-documented API, and also works with a wide collection of plugin that provide additional features.

"My Hill" segues into the shuffling drum patterns of "Lost River", the slowly building music evoking the watery feel of its title. The twinkling piano drifts on the surface, a chugging guitar serves as the undercurrent and the swaying violin and cello lap against the riverbanks. "Hush now, creature / Dry your eyes / I know a place / Where a body can hide," Turla intones comfortingly, though his intent is ambiguous—is the place he speaks of a location for retreat, or a dumping ground for an inconvenient corpse? "Though my days are over / You know where I'll be / Swim that lost river to me," Turla continues in the chorus, supported by the ghostly vocals of guest Samantha Crain, personifying a drowned lover beckoning to a mate on the shore to join him in the deep. This is romanticism as done by Murder By Death, the most endearing sentiment laced with the morbid, and yet, when the wave-breaking crescendo hits, it's inescapably moving.
