New Orleans
A former homeowner who fell on hard times and couldn't find work, Dionne Webb teetered on the edge of homelessness.
She found a new home in the Rosa F. Keller Building in Mid-City, New Orleans' first mixed-income and permanent supportive housing facility.
Now others like Webb will have the opportunity to keep a roof over their heads, thanks to a second development UNITY of Greater New Orleans has under construction on Louisiana Avenue on the edge of Central City.
The idea of the developments is to prevent those on the cusp of homelessness from getting there and to rescue from the streets the most vulnerable of the existing homeless population. In the latter instance, the goal is to make people more self-sufficient through the permanent supportive housing that connects chronic homeless with on-site case management services.
Webb, who three months ago found a job in food services at Delgado Community College and was able to move out of a shelter she called home for a short time, said her paycheck just wouldn't cover any other housing, something that would leave her living in a shelter permanently or on the streets. At the Keller building, she pays $581 a month for her one-bedroom unit. That figure is based off a sliding scale that takes her income into account.
"I'm blessed to be in this apartment," Webb said. "I'm truly blessed."
Martha Kegel, executive director of UNITY, the nonprofit homelessness collaborative, said it's not uncommon for low-income workers such as Webb to be in a precarious housing situation. Rents shot up after Hurricane Katrina, but many wages remained stagnant.
"We're trying to help people become as self-sufficient as possible," Kegel said.
Part of that involves the case managers who help some residents find work while ensuring that those who already have jobs keep them. It's a way to give a permanent home to the city's vulnerable homeless — those who are old, sick or mentally ill, for example.
That permanence is what sets the housing initiative apart from other ways of combating homelessness, said Jeanne Reaux-Connor, UNITY's project manager.
In addition to the services offered, there's a sense of community at the facility that helps prevent residents from falling through the cracks, something that can easily happen if they're left alone or are just part of the crowd at another facility, she said.
The new building at 2101 Louisiana Ave., a former assisted-living residence, will have 42 units and is expected to be completed by summer 2013. Officials hope that it will continue to put a dent in the city's estimated homeless population of about 4,900.
While the Louisiana Avenue development will be the second permanent supportive housing facility in the city, it will not be the last.
Kegel said plans are already in the works to redevelop the former Sacred Heart of Jesus elementary school on Canal Street in Mid-City. The agency hopes to work on a project at the former naval base on Poland Avenue in Bywater.
"It's important to get the second, third, fourth and fifth," buildings Reaux-Connor said.

By Brian Ross, email@example.com
In today's competitive environment, enterprise loyalty is king. Companies must embark on their strategic journey influenced by customer insights. These insights are gained through transactional data and allow for the shifting of mindset, culture and strategy across the entire enterprise – everywhere from merchandising and store layout to pricing. Sharing this information across the organization — beyond simply the marketing department – is essential to customer-centric merchandising.
Insight into what profitable customers are buying — not simply what product sells the most can power-charge your merchandising success. Here's how to begin to optimize your assortment today.
When it comes to optimizing the assortment of products in a retail store, major retailers typically focus only on carrying items that deliver the greatest sales and profits. Traditionally, retailers have identified store clusters – those with similar customers and sales – and ranked items by volume sales or profit. Then, they have eliminated those items at the bottom.
But, what if I told you that this approach can lead to sub-optimal results?
Take the retail powerhouse Walmart, for example. In 2010, the discount shopping giant famously skewered hundreds of SKUs in an effort known as "SKU rationalization," meant to optimize the chain's assortment.
Unfortunately, it turned out that although these items weren't the highest-volume sellers, many were, in fact, important to Walmart's best customers. It wasn't long before Walmart realized that de-listing these products resulted in lost sales from customers who could no longer find what they wanted. Finally, the company backpedaled and put 300-400 of those SKUs back on the shelf.
If Walmart had a loyalty program, its ability to analyze data from that program would have put them at a distinct advantage. Retailers who have customer data through loyalty or card programs can proactively identify the items that matter most to their best customers and factor that information into their assortment decisions.
Enterprise loyalty principles can truly power-charge retail merchandising strategies, which are the profit engine of most retailers. After all, a store's merchandising efforts – all of the decisions surrounding categories and assortment, from price to quality to breadth to depth – exert the most influence on a consumer's total store experience. Yet, in a traditional retail structure, loyalty efforts have typically fallen under the marketing umbrella.
Ready to shift from this traditional view to avoid letting loyal customers slip away? If so, the merchandising area is an obvious, essential place to start leveraging the data-driven principles of enterprise loyalty.
First: Make a beeline for your best customers
Start by figuring out who your best, or high-priority, customers are. Then, determine what matters to them. Knowing and pleasing best customers can prove to be an important way to win against competitors who don't have either access to, or the ability to leverage, customer data.
Then: Identify those with the most spend or greatest potential
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to defining and identifying best customers, but essentially you need to use data and analytics, from your loyalty program, among other areas, to look at your current customer base and identify which customers either contribute the most financially or offer the greatest potential value in terms of spend. So, it's not just about focusing on those who give you the greatest share of wallet, but also about those who aren't shopping to their full opportunity or potential. Then determine what an optimal assortment is in a particular category that reflects what your priority customers are looking for?
Next steps: Change your frame of reference from traffic-builder to destination
Look at each category in a different way: Determine category roles, strategies and assessments by analyzing and understanding how your best customers shop. Use a priority shopper view to determine which categories are truly destinations versus routine, occasional or convenience purchases to determine your optimal assortment and improve your category strategies.
For a typical retailer, this might mean targeting three to five categories in which to focus on differentiating itself, either in quality or service – not necessarily on price and become the source for the core customers. Focus on having the greatest depth and breadth of those target categories.
Looking at your priority categories under a destination framework first will offer vastly different decision-making strategies than if you competed solely on price. Of course, you must still examine the varying degree of importance of individual items to a category once you get down to the nitty-gritty of specific list/de-list decisions.
The final move: Overcome internal obstacles to discover assortment opportunity
More often than not, the biggest barrier to executing a customer-centric assortment strategy results from lack of organizational commitment and change management. Such commitment involves not only buy-in from the c-suite, but also acceptance and understanding from the category managers. This acceptance is facilitated by supplying them with the right data, tools and processes to institute the assortment strategy.
The organization must also change to support the new approach, examining how teams are evaluated and compensated, beyond the traditional measurement of total sales and profits, to include customer-centric metrics. The organization must change compensation strategies – including how the merchandising team is measured against those new decision-making options.
As with the entire enterprise loyalty journey, the move toward assortment opportunity means fundamentally changing traditional decisions using additional metrics.
That said, understanding your assortment's role and importance to priority customers and optimizing those assortments by customer and by store can increase your bottom line and send you farther down the path toward enterprise loyalty.

SWINDON'S Summer Youth Project notches up 20 years of giving youngsters a taste of professional theatre this year.
The Wyvern Theatre has a team of professionals and a cast and crew of 250 young people, who work together each year to produce a full- scale musical, in just two weeks.
To mark the special anniversary the show this year is Bugsy Malone, which was the first show presented by the project in 1994.
Anna Mcnamara, who played Blousey in that production, has organised a reunion of many of the old cast for this year's show.
Fraser Green, 18, who is beginning drama school at the new Wilkes Academy in Swindon in September, is taking the part of Bugsy this time round. He landed the part a month ago, following auditions in May. He said: "I am really excited and so much looking forward to it, particularly as it is the 20th anniversary.'' Based on the life of Chicago gangster Bugs Moran, Bugsy Malone, is a farcical romp through some slapstick comedy, sharp dialogue and the off-the-wall idea of using children to portray the shady underworld of the Prohibition Era.
Fraser said: "It is an iconic film with childhood effects, but as I am an 18-year-old doing it I want to bring more emotion to it, make it a bit more gritty.'' The stage show is based on the film by Alan Parker and the subject matter is lightened for children, but there is a still a love scene between Bugsy and Blousey, but Fraser says the director, Matthew Dye, is really good at helping his leading actors in complex scenes. Fraser met Emily Bedford, who plays Blousey, when they performed in last year's project, Our House, based on the music of Madness.
Fraser said: "Matthew takes you off on your own for the love scenes and works with you. He gets in to your mind.'' Bugsy the performance runs from Thursday, August 21 to Sunday, August 24 and tickets are from £12 on 01793 524481.

Washington, July 14 (ANI): Most Americans don't want former Alaska governor Sarah Palin as a U.S. senator, or as any other public official, a new poll has found.
According to the HuffPost/YouGov Poll, nearly 49 percent respondents don't want Palin to hold public office again, as compared to only 35 percent who said yes.
Palin said on 'The Sean Hannity Show' that she has 'considered' a run for the Senate seat in 2014, currently held by Senator Mark Begich (D-Alaska), the Huffington Post reports.
There was a big partisan divide on the notion of Palin returning to public office in the poll as 72 percent of Republicans said they would support that, as compared to 77 percent of Democrats, who would not want.
The poll found that a 46 percent to 33 percent plurality of independents said they don't want Palin to hold office again.
Overall, only 38 percent of Americans said they have a favorable opinion of Palin, while 49 percent said they have an unfavorable opinion. (ANI)

Green's Solar Plan just the start
Green's Solar Plan just the start
With the cost of the average power bill skyrocketing, the Green's new "Solar Homes" policy announcement comes as a breath of fresh air. Under the recent policy announcement, 30,000 homes will get to slash their power bills by installing solar PV panels on their roofs. The systems are estimated to generate an average 3,500 kWh per year, saving an estimated 100 GWh per year after the systems are installed. The technology is proven and is robust. And that sounds like a fair whack of power right?
Wrong. Let put that figure in perspective. Last year we consumed 39,560 GWh. The Green's plan would generate just 0.25% of that figure. Under a "business as usual" scenario, the Energy Ministry (MBIE) estimates that figure would soar to 57,650 GWh in 2050. That would mean we will need to generate an additional 18,090 GWh just to keep up with rising demand.
One could also expect that by 2050, electric vehicles will be so ubiquitous and cheap to buy that most of the light vehicle fleet (23% of total energy demand) has changed over from combustion engines to electricity – adding another 10 or 12,000 GWh to the yearly electric demand.
And with the anticipated drop in the cost of PV and other energy efficient technologies; its likely that the residential gas network would become less viable, adding another 2 or 3,000 GWh to the electricity demand.
Adding that up that's a lot of extra demand that needs to be found somehow – highlighting that more will need to be done to meet demand and keep electricity prices low.
It's still early in the election year. So while the policy papers are being firmed up, why not include heat pump water heaters, which will save another 2,500 kWh per household, while shifting the power use away from peak load times to daytime peak solar times. New generation LED lights use up to 90% less
electricity than old ones. Lets not forget the role of the new generation smart appliances, that move power use to lower cost times of the day. Let the policy include mandating "smart grids" using smart household meters that can communicate with these devices using wireless technology that will operate these devices at the most cost-effective time of day to switch on and off.
And let the policy be part of the Electricity Authority's mandate; removing it from the vagaries of political debate and allowing long term benefits to be achieved.

MSNBC graphic, report conflated "Al Qaeda" and "Al Qaeda in Iraq"
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER
On the July 29 edition of MSNBC Live, during a report on the "tensions" between Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S.-led forces in Iraq, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, an on-screen graphic read: "Iraq: Fighting Al Qaeda." During the segment, NBC News correspondent Jane Arraf further reported that Petraeus "is saying that the U.S. has made significant gains against Al Qaeda," adding: "[H]e says that in key areas where they have declared the states -- capitols of their Islamic state, they have managed to get rid of key leaders, but he warns that there is still a significant threat, and they are able to carry out significant attacks." However, in asserting that the U.S. military in Iraq is fighting Al Qaeda and uncritically quoting Petraeus making the same claim, MSNBC conflated the Sunni insurgent group "Al Qaeda in Iraq" with the group responsible for the 9-11 attacks, as the Bush administration has repeatedly done. Moreover, Arraf's paraphrasing of Petraeus' comments left the impression that he said "the U.S. has made significant gains against Al Qaeda" worldwide -- an assertion contradicted by the most recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which assessed that "the group has protected or regenerated key elements of its Homeland attack capability" and established a "safehaven" in Pakistan.
The on-screen graphic shown throughout the MSNBC Live segment:
As Media Matters for America has noted, a June 28 McClatchy Newspapers article reported that President Bush's description of Al Qaeda as "the main enemy" in Iraq was rejected by "U.S. military and intelligence officials" who "say that Iraqis with ties to al Qaida are only a small fraction of the threat to American troops" and that "[t]he group known as al Qaida in Iraq didn't exist before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, didn't pledge its loyalty to al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden until October 2004 and isn't controlled by bin Laden or his top aides." Further, the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post recently published articles distinguishing between these two groups.
Nonetheless, numerous news outlets have continued to conflate "Al Qaeda" and "Al Qaeda in Iraq" in recent weeks, as Media Matters has documented. For instance, on the July 11 edition of ABC's World News, correspondent Terry McCarthy uncritically repeated the assertion by Petraeus that "[t]he enemy in Iraq that is causing the horrific attacks that is igniting the sectarian violence, that is causing the mass casualties and damaging the infrastructure by and large is Al Qaeda." A July 12 Washington Post editorial headlined "Wishful Thinking on Iraq" asserted that U.S. generals in Iraq "believe they are making fitful progress in calming Baghdad, training the Iraqi army and encouraging anti-al-Qaeda coalitions." Further, on the July 10 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, during an interview with Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), host Wolf Blitzer did not challenge Lieberman's numerous assertions that the U.S. military in Iraq is fighting "Al Qaeda."
Moreover, Arraf simply repeated what she reported to be Petraeus' assertion that "the U.S. has made significant gains against Al Qaeda." Arraf did not point out that this assertion, when applied to Al Qaeda generally, is undermined by the NIE, which states that the terrorist group "has protected or regenerated key elements of its Homeland attack capability, including: a safehaven in the Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), operational lieutenants, and its top leadership." The NIE adds that, "as a result ... the United States is currently in a heightened threat environment." From the NIE:
Al-Qa'ida is and will remain the most serious terrorist threat to the Homeland, as its central leadership continues to plan high-impact plots, while pushing others in extremist Sunni communities to mimic its efforts and to supplement its capabilities. We assess the group has protected or regenerated key elements of its Homeland attack capability, including: a safehaven in the Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), operational lieutenants, and its top leadership. Although we have discovered only a handful of individuals in the United States with ties to al-Qa'ida senior leadership since 9/11, we judge that al-Qa'ida will intensify its efforts to put operatives here.
- As a result, we judge that the United States currently is in a heightened threat environment.
We assess that al-Qa'ida will continue to enhance its capabilities to attack the Homeland through greater cooperation with regional terrorist groups. Of note, we assess that al-Qa'ida will probably seek to leverage the contacts and capabilities of al-Qa'ida in Iraq (AQI), its most visible and capable affiliate and the only one known to have expressed a desire to attack the Homeland. In addition, we assess that its association with AQI helps al-Qa'ida to energize the broader Sunni extremist community, raise resources, and to recruit and indoctrinate operatives, including for Homeland attacks.
From the 8 a.m. ET hour of the July 29 edition of MSNBC Live:
ALEX WITT (anchor): New this morning, reports that tensions are rising between Iraq's prime minister and the man leading the U.S. forces there. NBC's Jane Arraf just finished a tour on the ground with General David Petraeus and joins us now from Baghdad with the very latest. Jane, a very good Sunday morning to you, and is there a new fight in Iraq that we need to be hearing about now?
ARRAF: Well, probably a little more of smoke than fire here, Alex. We talked to General Petraeus -- I sat down with him and asked him about those reports -- and he says while the relationship with Prime Minister Maliki has included some very candid conversations, particularly several months ago, he says those reports that Maliki has asked for him to be replaced are nonsense.
PETRAEUS [video clip]: We actually have a very good relationship. We have had some forthright conversations at times, but it's nonsense to think that he's ever asked -- I've sat in on every conversation he's ever had with President Bush in a VTC [video teleconference] since I've been here, and again, we believe we have a good relationship. These are tough issues.
ARRAF: The thing is, these are two very different personalities struggling with some really difficult issues. But people around Petraeus as well as some Iraqi officials say those reports are vastly overblown. Petraeus, as well as saying that the U.S. has made significant gains against Al Qaeda, Alex, he says that in key areas where they have declared the states -- capitols of their Islamic state, they have managed to get rid of key leaders, but he warns that there is still a significant threat, and they are able to carry out significant attacks. Alex.
WITT: Jane, let's switch gears considerably here and talk soccer, OK? Because apparently the national soccer team advanced to the finals of the Asia Cup, which is a huge deal for Iraqis, isn't it?

DOCTORS have told the delighted parents of brave Jamie Inglis he is in complete remission following pioneering treatment in Germany.
Scans performed last week on the seven-year-old York schoolboy found no trace of neuroblastoma, the childhood cancer he has been suffering, said his father John.
"We are very, very pleased," he said, speaking from the hospital in Germany where Jamie is undergoing treatment, which has not been funded by the NHS but is believed by oncologists to give the best chance of survival.
"It's really good news. It's absolutely fantastic."
His wife, Vicki, said: "At last, the Inglis family have good news and are going to treasure this news forever. Jamie has no cancer!
"I for one, am absolutely so proud of Jamie and after an uncertain 24 hours this is something to shout about."
However, Mr Inglis, of Kelfield, Selby, stressed that Jamie still faced risks such as infection, with antibody therapy which had been expected to start this week delayed, possibly for another week.
Mr Inglis was given the good news in a corridor by Professor Peter Lang, who is in charge of the treatment.
"Professor Lang was talking about the antibody therapy and apologised that Jamie wouldn't be starting this week after all," said Mrs Inglis.
"It was only after he went to walk away and John asked if there were any results from the scans last week that Professor Lang then delivered the news."
Jamie has been undergoing months of treatment for neuroblastoma, which has seen his father's stem cells introduced into his body to help him build a stronger, donor-derived immune system.
He has been back in hospital near Stuttgart in Germany since a brief return home to North Yorkshire at the end of October.
Jamie jointly won the child of the year award at The Press's Community Pride awards for his courage and positivity. His family has been working to raise £250,000 to pay for the medical trial in Germany, and has so far raised more than £148,000.
Mr Inglis stressed that the classification of "complete remission" was based on current diagnostics, and said there was still a high chance some microscopic-sized cancer cells might have survived.
"This is why the next phase of treatment – antibody – is considered to be important to help stimulate Jamie's new immune system to seek and destroy any rogue cells."

"SWINDON has a great list of attractions," said Nick Pearce.
"I've been here for 16 or 17 years and I'm always surprised when some local people think there isn't much on offer. There is."
Nick promotes tourism in a town not generally thought of as a tourist trap. If the numbers – such numbers as can be determined, at least – are anything to go by, he succeeds. At the Swindon Visitor Information Centre, people can buy a pack of playing cards called Scenes of Swindon for £4.99.
Nearly 2,000 have done just that since the cards were introduced 18 months ago.
All over the town, the country and probably the world, games of poker, patience, blackjack and bridge are livened by old and new images ranging from the acrobat sculpture of Wharf Green (the ace of spades) to the Magic Roundabout (the joker).
The information centre has Swindon and Great Western Railway-themed keyfobs, bookmarks, paperweights, calendars, posters, models, toys, pens, stationery, ornaments and clothing.
There's a shiny Magic Roundabout lapel pin that looks like a discreet badge of office for members of some strange cult.
There are books about Swindon in prehistory, Swindon when it was scattered farms on a hill, Swindon the small market town, Swindon the railway town, Swindon the post-railway town, Swindon the testbed for technological innovation and architectural fancies. There are the five Swindon through the Decades DVDs, eached packed with archive and home movie footage both fascinating and poignant.
There are leaflets, booklets and maps promoting the Steam museum, Lydiard Park, the Museum and Art Gallery in Old Town, our leisure centres, our theatres, our cinemas, our dining, our shopping and the delights of the surrounding countryside.
It's the playing cards that Nick Pearce shows off with the greatest pride, though, because he gathered or photographed all but a handful of the images himself.
Nick is the sole information assistant at the centre, although others are being trained. He is also the sole survivor of the roster who worked at the centre in its old venue, a shop across the road, before it moved to the library a couple of years ago.
At 41 he's been here since 1995, lives in Rodbourne and speaks of our attractions with the fervour of a true enthusiast.
"There are great leisure facilities, great events, community groups, social groups, hobby groups, history, education, open spaces and parks.
"Our job is to promote Swindon. Some want to know what we have to entertain them and how they can get there. There is a mix of locals and visitors. Some people are here to visit relatives, have no idea what we have to offer and are pleasantly surprised.
"There are people who stay here because they don't want to try to find accommodation in Bath or Oxford, and they're quite astonished by what we have."
Some of the visitors are former Swindonians who moved away years ago, and they account for many of the souvenirs sold. Family members still here also buy them to send on as little pieces of home for distant loved ones.
Dealing with inquiries is often a team effort. Library information officer Dawn Osborne once fielded a phone call from two young Londoners who'd decided on the spur of the moment to come to Swindon and then walk to Gloucester. One of them was celebrating his 21st birthday.
"They were coming on the Megabus," she said. "We were helping them plot their route and what was really nice was that a customer overheard, told us he was a walker and offered to help.
"I asked the callers if they had the right footwear and said they should remember to bring food and water, and asked them to ring us from Gloucester to make sure they'd arrived safely."
When the information centre moved to the library, there were fears of its effectiveness being hampered, but Nick doesn't see things that way. Nor does Dawn Osborne. The old site had an annual footfall of about 120,000, while the library has about 425,000, and one of the first things the visitor sees is the centre.
"Our old premises were very much in a state of disrepair," said Nick, "so I think moving to the bright new libary made it more attractive to customers."

The Hawk continues to ride high. Interest in Activision's Pro Skater series never wanes, despite the fact we're almost upon the fifth installment. But while T.H.U.G. is finalized for console cowboys, cellphone gamers are just getting a portable version of the fourth game. Is this one of those times when patience is a virtue, or one of those times when we need to round up the folks who make up phrases like that and poke them with sticks. Sharp sticks.
Tony Hawk is actually kind of a complicated game. All the thumb-busting combos and whatnot you need to pull of to achieve a respectable score can be a real pain. As expected, the handset version is simplified -- almost delightfully simplified. Sure, there are plenty of tricks to bust out -- grinds, nosepicks, tailslides -- but on that itty-bitty key pad, it's easy to remember button combos.
There are three tours of duty in Tony Hawk: West Coast, Euro Tour, and Road trip. Each tour is comprised of two ssub-levels, such as a zoo, Alcatraz, a ship, and a college campus. In each level, there are plenty of things to interact with, ramps and coping and whatnot. Each tour also has a special set of available skaters. For example, Elissa Steamer is only available on the Road Trip tour. Tony, on the other hand, is selectable for all three tours. After all, it's his name on the marquee.
There are several ways to play the game, too. After you finish with the tutorial -- highly recommended -- you can engage in some fun free skating, hit a single session, try the trick challenge, or do the career mode and work up your skater's stats. The venerable S-K-A-T-E game is present, as you zip back and forth across the themed levels, searching out the hard-to-reach letters. The half-pipe is a good way to beat a plane delay, coasting back and forth across the wood, getting air and finally pulling off an impressive trick.
Tony Hawk actually looks pretty decent for a handset game. The colors were bright and vivid on the Motorola T720 we tested it on. The sprites may be tiny, but they move fluidly across the painted landscapes, and in a game like this, sacrificing looks for speed is an acceptable trade-off.
Activision's really gotten it's money out of the Tony Hawk series, and with the quality of the games never flagging, they will continue to for the forseeable future. JAMDAT's handset, go-go version of the fourth installment may not be as complex as its console counterpart, but for some -- like me -- that's a blessing in disguise. Finally, I can pull off an Indy 900 without breaking my thumb.

It was a busy post-Thanksgiving Black Friday night on The Conservative Cauldron. If you were still in a turkey coma, or already asleep because you got up at 3am for those door-busting deals, no worries, here is what you missed.
Of course the whole nation, and maybe the entire world was talking about nothing but Ferguson, Missouri this week, and the St. Louis County Grand Jury's decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown back in August. The announcement of this decision came down Monday night, and ignited violent protests throughout the city of St. Louis, but especially in Ferguson. At least 25 businesses were looted and vandalized, with at least a dozen burned to the ground. Many who watched the carnage unfold on Monday night, say an outburst by Michael Brown's stepfather Louis Head may have encouraged what followed that night. At the center of a large crowd of people, after the decision was announced, several outlets have Louis Head on tape screaming, "Burn this bitch down!", at least two to three times. Most people thought it was inevitable that the aftermath of the announcement would not be peaceful, but was this outright encouragement by Louis Head? Many people are calling for him to be brought up on charges for inciting a riot.
A week prior to the announcement of the Grand Jury decision, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon had declared a state of emergency, and called in the National Guard. But mysteriously, they were nowhere to be found in Ferguson on Monday night. This has angered many people in the St. Louis metropolitan area. How many businesses would have been spared? How much destruction could have been easily avoided had the National Guard been where they needed to be? There are many questions looming that need to be answered by Jay Nixon. Among those, why is it that Ferguson Mayor James Knowles could not contact the Governor or anyone in his office Monday night? Knowles was begging for National Guard troops to come in and help. Reggie Jones, Mayor of the tiny neighboring city of Dellwood, also voiced the same problem. There was no contact from the Governor to either Mayor. Why?
On Tuesday, Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, in an interview with Fox News, made some very interesting speculation. He put forth the possibility that Jay Nixon was pressured by the Obama administration and the Holder Justice Department not to send in Guard troops. It is now known that Nixon spoke to White House Super Advisor Valerie Jarrett on Monday night and again on Tuesday morning, but he had no way of speaking to two local Mayors? Nixon vehemently denied the accusations the next day.
However it wasn't all doom and gloom coming out of Ferguson. There were many stories of citizens helping each other, and having each other's backs. We heard the story of Natalie DuBose, who owns a cake shop in Ferguson. She opened her shop back in June, and after starting her business by selling cakes at flea markets and other such venues, she saved up enough money to open her shop. In August, her shop sustained some damage from the first round of rioting. On Monday night it was much worse. Windows were broken and equipment destroyed. But there are people who appreciate someone who is willing to work hard enough to achieve their American dream. An online funding campaign was started for Natalie, and as of Friday morning, around $200,000 had been raised to help her get Natalie's Cakes and More back on its feet. At least in this case, good guys win, bad guys lose. Protesters also tried to shut down Black Friday sales in many area malls. They were shut down for a time, but were back up and open for business within a few hours.
Last Sunday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced his resignation, or was it his firing? There is still speculation as to what exactly happened, and the White House has not been forthcoming with details. While some White House officials have leaked things such as "he wasn't up to the job", close Hagel friend Arizona Senator John McCain says he was very much up to the job, but was never fully brought into the close decision-making circle in the Oval Office. Hagel was also warning that ISIS was quickly becoming the greatest threat in the Middle East while the president was still calling them "junior varsity." This no doubt irritated the president, and along with the beat down given the Democrats in the mid-term elections, felt a need to shake up the cabinet. What better way than to fire the only Republican?
While all eyes are on Ferguson, more detainees are quietly being released from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Five were released during the month of November and more are set for release in December. There are only 143 detainees left, down from the almost 800 immediately following 9/11. It is common knowledge that most of these individuals go back to their old stomping grounds as soon as they can. What does this mean for national security and the threat of any future attacks on American soil?
Finally, if you think it is bad in Ferguson, in the WTF segment, we take a look at a popular South African ventriloquist who is basically stalking a singer on Facebook. The ventriloquist, Conrad Koch, appeared in court last week, dummy in tow. Long story short, Koch, and/or the dummy must refrain from any social media contact or references to singer Steve Hofmeyr. Koch says Hofmeyr makes racist comments and remarks during his concerts, even singing the national anthem of the former apartheid government. He is a top recording artist but is becoming known for divisive comments. Couldn't they just say the dummy started it?[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/179124779″ params="auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%" height="450″ iframe="true" /]

You made it to Oprah's office! But it looks like she's about to kill you.
You show her the carcass of the Farker you killed. She suddenly lightens up and explains to you that you now have immunity from death when she takes over the world. As a parting gift, she hands you a paperweight, then kicks you out unceremoniously, as she "has 'things' to do with Tom Cruise."

Lockport is a historic city in Will County, Illinois, United States, located 30 miles southwest of Chicago. Lockport was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1975. The city was incorporated in 1853 and is situated along the Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Canal. Recently, it was named one of the fastest-growing suburbs in America, by Forbes Magazine. The scenic golf course, walking paths, vintage downtown, parks and recreation and accessibility to I-355 and 80 add to the city's appeal.
Lockport was the headquarters of the operationally defunct Illinois and Michigan Canal. A section of the canal runs through Lockport, including the remains of the canal's Lock No. 1 from which the town received its name. The canal right-of-way is now the Illinois and Michigan National Heritage Corridor. Because of proactive efforts dating back several years, the city of Lockport is one of the best-preserved Canal sites in existence today.

Last night's penthouse reception at Lincoln Center for the reicipients of the 2009 Musical America Awards was principally about talent. But I decided it was principally about Baltimore (hey, in this media market, you know it's gotta be local-local-local all the time).
Here goes: Musician of the Year is cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who has often performed with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, including this seaosn's opening gala led by music director and now Conductor of the Year Marin Alsop, who has frequently championed the works of this year's Composer of the Year, Baltimore-born and -based Christopher Rouse,
whose style represents quite an expresssive contrast to that of centenarian Elliott Carter, whose works are a specialty of this year's Ensemble of the Year, the Pacifica Quartet, which played Carter's Fifth String Quartet in a program presented last April by Candlelight Concerts in Columbia (close enough to Baltimore), an organization not unlike Baltimore's Shriver Hall Concert Series, which presented this year's Vocalist of the Year, mezzo-sropano Stephanie Blythe, a couple seasons ago.
Call it Six Degrees of Baltimore.
Anyway, about 200 people in the classical music biz hobbed with every nob worth hobbing with at the reception for a while.
Then Sedgwick Clark, who edits the annual Musical America Directory (a resource bible in the industry), introduced each honoree in jovial, affectionate fashion. The winners responded in kind.
Yo-Yo Ma, who jokingly wondered how Baltimore managed to get two awards this year, referrred in his remarks to the "village" that makes up the music world, the way musicians (and publicists, who were well represented at the event) support each other.
Alsop, who had very hearty hugs for the cellist and Rouse earlier in the evening, mentioned one of her major themes, taking chances, and making music count more than ever as the world gets less certain. Her parents were there to see her latest honor. (BSO president/CEO Paul Meecham and board chairman Michael Bronfein also attended.)
Although Alsop is famed for great one-liners, she didn't deliver one last night. That came instead from Simin Ganatra, first violinist in the Pacifica Quartet, which is in residence at the University of Illinois.
"Being from Illinois," Ganatra said, "our first instinct was to sell this award to the highest bidder."

Would you ever go to one just to check out all the swinging dongs on display? lol
Most Helpful Girl
ha I like the way you worded this. lol "swinging dongs"
and to answer your question, no thanks. :p00|00|0
Would you ever go to one just to check out all the swinging dongs on display? lol
ha I like the way you worded this. lol "swinging dongs"
and to answer your question, no thanks. :p
Have an opinion?
LOL no. That's not what nude beaches are about anyway. They're there for people who enjoy being naked, and those who live a nudist lifestyle, not for people to ogle other naked people. =P Certainly people may still do that, but that kind of ruins the point of nude beaches. They're supposed to be places people can feel comfortable being nude around other people who have a similar mindset, not having to worry or think about how other people view them, or about people checking them out, or conversely pointing and laughing. Going to a nude beach just to look at all the naked bodies pretty much ruins that 'safe' feeling.
Nope. A bunch of random guys flaccid d***s aren't really all that much to look at.
Usually there are mostly 50+ year old men with big guts standing around. Not what you would want to see or what makes you want to take your clothes off and join...
it wouldn't be my reason for going but if I was there I'd look
I go to female only nude beaches.
They're great. All female workers and in a gated area.
but what if you miss a chance to get a 12 incher
Dun care
It's my #1 goal in life...
I know that. You've told me before.
I was carrying your secret in my heart...or in my? lol
lol are you serious enchanted? youv never seen one before?
I'm being sarcastic... I have no urge to visit a nude beach.
Thats what I figured I was just making sure.
I have been to a nude beach and trust me--the only penises I saw on display there were connected to people I never wanted to see naked.
Have you ever seen a nudist beach?There's not much to admire.
Most popular nude beaches are like a cross section of people you would see on a downtown street. Some young, some old. Different ethnicities. Some beautiful, some definitely not. Skinny, fat, you name it. Most of them are in groups from couples to a small gathering, and pretty much stay with them. Many (not all) of the people moving around the beach are either trying to check out everyone else, or showing off themselves to everyone. And quite often these latter people really do not have much to show off. Often girls come with other girls and position themselves where they will not be bothered by the wandering males. (Some may be lesbians, but many are just looking for an all over tan and go with another girl to help avoid pushy males.)
There is opportunity to meet other people there, same as at any beach. But it is usually through common interests. You may be flying a kite and run into others doing that. Or maybe playing Frisbee. On nude beaches, volleyball is popular, and you can often join a group for that.
Will you see members of the opposite gender that are sexually appealing? On a popular beach (lots of people), it is almost assured that you will. But they will be outnumbered by the not so appealing ones, just as in clothed life.
By the way, with so many people, it is pretty safe to visit a nude beach if you are curious about nudity. Generally, people will leave you alone, though they may speak to you if there is something to speak about (you have a cute baby, you are doing an interesting craft, etc.) If you make it known you want to be alone, they will leave, and if they do not, usually the beach community will step in to run someone like that off. Most of these beaches are family friendly (meaning kids are there) and the people are protective like that.
By the way, I am curious as to where udolipixie goes to a beach that is gated. I have been to nudist resorts (private, though membership is both sexes) that had river beach in them, but never have I seen a gated ocean beach in the US.
i think the consensus is no.
This made me laugh.
