Perhaps there is a confusion between rumble seat and trundle bed. Or maybe because trundle beds can be noisy with their springs and squeaky metal.
Term paper mill: "Huttling in a round dome tent which was creaking from the howling winds outside like an antique colonial rumble bed, we had a decision on our hands."
Boat specification: "Fold down rumble bed in forward cabin"
Fiction book: "Sam ran through the three suites pausing to look at a picture on a dresser by a rumble bed"
Craigslist for sale ad: "Single oak Rumble bed with two built in drawers."
Or maybe people think it's a term for a vibrating bed:
Discussion forum: "You know, Peach, Sterling got a roll of quarters just for you. LOL. What are the quarters for?? A rumble bed??"
Could also be an alternate spelling for a bed with rumpled sheets:
Stock photo: "An Asian boy and toddler jump on a rumbled bed"
There are lots of examples of fanfic using the phrase rumbled sheets.
Another very nice eggcorn, larrybob. The name "trundle bed" is new to me. If someone had told me it was a rumble bed, I would have found that a perfect name. It was really interesting looking back into the name, which turns out to be an old one. I don't know what kneck of the woods you're in. Perhaps these contraptions are familiar where you're at.
A trundle was apparently a box on wheels before it became an low-centre-of-gravity waddle. Wikipedia gives alternative names for a boxed bed on wheels, all exquisitely logical: trundle bed, truckle bed, trumple bed or hurly-bed. All but trumple are closely or indirectly connected to wheels. Hurly is also tied to commotion or noise, like your rumble.
I suppose truck could rumble in there too. Who knew that truck comes from PIE roots, via a Gk word for wheel.
"Huttling" – oh yeah.
I wanted to add that I felt physical relief in learning, during the above forays, that the two meanings of truck come from distinct roots. This is the eggcorn motivation made flesh. If you need the same sort of relief by putting order in your trucking, see where you'll see the wheeled kind, and the obsequy, and , where there is truck and trade and trocar (S., P.) and troquer (F.).
Meanwhile, other words that can be thrown into the mix are trunk and under.
A second pull out 'trunkle' bed is also available if required.
All that rain meant that G woke up at 3am, scared, so DH had to go and sleep in her room, the first time since we bought the trunder bed, so at least he had something comfy to sleep on!
But the latter might be a simple typo/letter loss from trundler, although primed by under:
His new bed will have a trundler bed underneath, so my idea was to pull the trunder bed out a little, so if he did happen to roll off
As long as we are thinking about beds in a vertical dimension, why not go up? "Bonk beds" for "bunk beds" is mostly a pun (captured in ), but a few sites seem to think "bonk" is the standard phrasing. Examples:
: "Inside the logging camp there were bonk beds, tubs,"
":": "The camp is held 'at an Hacienda, an old colonial building with camp ground facilities. We sleep in bonk beds and the food is vegetarian,' explains Cristina Mendoza, facilitator."
: "Your choice of King, bonk beds, or queen siz"
"Bump beds" .
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Bonk bed is an ingenious keeper.
I should point out an error I made above, where I used the word obsequy as if it meant "obsequiousness". I modelled it on obloquy, and wasn't sure but thought it must be right. It turns out that an obsequy is a funeral rite and has nothing to do with obsequiousness, other than being one more really old word confusion to add to this forum. Before it even got to England, obsequium as compliance got tangled up with another word for funeral rites, exsequiae, which would mean something like "what follows beyond the end", I suppose, and yielded obsequiae, "obsequies".

Union leaders are rolling out a 14-city campaign to mobilize support for President Barack Obama's immigration overhaul plans.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka says the labor federation will hold rallies, educate voters and pressure elected officials using the same grass-roots infrastructure that helped re-elect Obama.
The campaign began Wednesday in Raleigh, N.C., and will continue Monday in Las Vegas.
Trumka says labor and business leaders also continue to work out an agreement on revising the nation's guest worker program that allows businesses to hire foreign workers for seasonal employment.
Unions strongly support a path to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants, saying the change will lead to better wages and working conditions. Unions also hope to boost sagging membership ranks from the workers who would become new citizens.

Online Law Schools / Re: Taft Law School Telecommunications Courses Question« on: December 26, 2011, 08:39:37 AM »
Would you say that the EJD helped her any as a supplement to her MBA?I have a friend attending Taft--he will sit for the FYLSE in June 12 so that will be interesting if he passes it or not. I also have a colleague who went to Concord, she failed the FYLSE 3 times (even after the assistance of a tutor) she came into the school with an MBA from Columbia--law wasn't her strong point so she opted for the EJD.
I chose California School of Law for the cost and the live class experience. The big downside isn't necessarily the professors (a couple sucked) but the other students. With the Socratic method one is expected to not only read the cases but to brief as well--in large brick and mortar schools that are filled with 50+ students there is a chance of not being called on, yet with small classrooms with more like 20, hands down without fail half of them were not prepared. Complaints such as "Sorry professor there were too many pages to read" or "sorry professor I had too much to drink tonight" "sorry professor maybe next time". I am not kidding, it was frustrating because those students wasted class time with questions. The professors were always suggesting they spend the time reading, and don't get it the first time read again, then again--read E&E if you don't get it but make an effort!
I am actually now in a position since I passed the FYLSE to consider a transfer--I began looking at American Heritage University. It appears many of the professors jumped ship from Abraham Lincoln SOL--at least their website isn't ghetto plus they offer evidence for 16 weeks not this 6 week BS. The other thing of interest is the cost, $4,000 less than CSOL. Its up in the air now, but I am keeping my eye on the school and I may call one of the professors since he taught my FYLSE review.
Bottom line, no matter where you go you have to put in so much time with studying and teaching yourself--you can't expect law to be spoon fed to you, so it really depends on how disciplined you are and how much effort you put forth in understanding it.
Hi Lincoln, just seeing this today. Nope I would not say that it "helped her" as it just was a way to salvage her law school investment. I'm going to be honest here and likely to be flamed but WTH. I've been in the legal profession spanning on nearly 2 decades and have been exposed to those who 'get' the law and those who will never 'get it'. This woman constantly called me asking me basic procedures, things that are easily obtained in a Rutter Group practice guide. Why research it when its easy to pick up the phone and call the knowledgeable paralegal who has performed the work over and over? I think her EJD is a way to tell people she attended law school. It is unlikely she will explain that she only received an EJD because the JD program requires passing the FYLSE, so after 3 failed attempts she grabbed what she could. Maybe in Iowa the JDE may look good--but highly unlikely to score bonus points in the Southern CA legal profession. Just my 02 cents.

General Relativity
When it comes to describing gravity, Albert Einstein is the heavyweight champ. So far, every test has confirmed his theory of gravity, which is known as General Relativity.
Published more than a century ago, the theory said that gravity wasn't a "force" acting instantly across the universe, as Isaac Newton had envisioned it. Instead, any object with mass — from a pill bug to a galaxy — "warped" the spacetime around it.
A pill bug's effect is negligible, but the effect of more massive objects could be profound. A star, for example, should curve space in such a way that it would deflect the light of more-distant stars passing by it. This effect was confirmed during a solar eclipse in 1919. That made Einstein an international star — and put him at the pinnacle of gravitational theory.
Since then, General Relativity has been confirmed in many other ways. One of the first was a small shift in Mercury's orbit around the Sun — it's caused by the Sun warping the space around it.
General Relativity also predicts a gravitational redshift, in which the gravity of a star stretches the lightwaves that leave its surface — an effect seen with white dwarf stars. And it predicts that the passage of time is different for observers in different gravitational fields. That's been confirmed by flying atomic clocks in high-altitude airplanes — and it's a key factor in the success of a bit of modern technology. More about that tomorrow.

The teens maybe not be professionals, but after only ten weeks of classes the Soldotna High School interior design class landed its first project to be realized beyond paper plans.
The 22 students are designing a teen center for Soldotna.
Tuesday, the student designers worked through the class period maneuvering paper cutouts of game tables and furniture across floor plans testing multiple spots, keeping traffic flow, screen projector logistics and other issues in mind, until the best location was found for the items.
They will continue to work on the project through the week.
"It's for them, so it makes the most sense for them to design it," SoHi teacher Meggean Bos said.
The Teen Center Advisory Committee recently secured a space located off the Kenai Spur Highway near East Park Avenue, and asked the class to design the center.
Each group will finish their designs on Friday, and the committee will either choose one of the six proposals or combine elements from multiple designs, Bos said.
While the project teaches the students to work within "real-world" guidelines and deadlines, Bos said because they are not professionals it takes the students longer to conceptualize the project.
SoHi student Jazi Larrow said she was excited when Bos told the class they would be designing the center because "we're going to hang out there." Her group member Cody Watkins agreed and said he feels like he's doing something for the community. Leah McCabe liked that the project is going to be implemented.
"This is real life being able to do this," she said.
As the students worked on their layouts, Bos checked with groups to see how they were progressing and reminded them of elements to consider like creating a space that's easy to clear for a dance floor.
A common concern of students was not enough space or too many required elements.
"We're just trying to get everything to fit and look nice," Madison Nelson said.
Her group finished their layout and began looking at paint colors on Tuesday. They agreed that neon colors are their top choice.
Another group agreed that working with the space was a challenge.
"It's a lot of stuff to fit in a small space," Jessica Hanna said.
One of her group members, Robin Johnson, said figuring out where to put some stuff was easy, like the reception desk that needs to go near the front door.
The girls' group considered putting the projector screen over the garage door in the back of the building. Bos reminded them that the door won't have a tight seal and there might be problems with a draft moving the screen.
Even while struggling to fit everything, Johnson liked that the committee gave the students the opportunity to work on the project.
"It's kind of cool because we get to design it and we're just high schoolers," she said.
The committee previously surveyed students to found out what teens most wanted at the center. Based on those results, the students' designs must include:
■ tables and chairs for homework and hanging out;
■ four living room areas with TV screens;
■ projector and screen;
■ game tables including pool, fooseball, ping pong and air hockey;
■ reception desk;
■ workstation for four computers;
■ computer counter and meeting table in the study room;
■ snack bar;
■ reading area;
■ art area;
■ cubbies;
■ bulletin board;
■ bookshelf.
The committee hopes to have the center operating by Christmas, according to Sen. Peter Micciche.

GREENVILLE, N.C – Junior Jordan Lewis homered and drove in four to power East Carolina's softball team (15-24, 5-7 C-USA) to a thrilling 6-4 victory over No. 20/18 Tulsa (31-9-1, 11-1 C-USA) on Sunday in the final game of the series. The win over a ranked team was the first for the Pirates since the 2010 season against Texas in the NCAA Regional. ECU also snapped Tulsa's 11-game winning streak in league play this season with the victory.
Sophomore Courtney Smith (3-10) started and went the first five innings for the Pirates. She allowed three runs (two earned) while striking out two and going without a walk. After surviving a sticky situation in the seventh, fellow sophomore Sarah Christian earned her first career save with two innings worked and two strikeouts. The loss was tagged on Lacey Middlebrooks (13-3). Middlebrooks surrendered all six runs (four earned) in 3.2 innings in the circle. She allowed just three hits, but walked five and was limited to two strikeouts.
Besides tying her career-high with four RBI, Lewis also drew a pair of walks and scored twice. She has now successfully reached base in 31 of her last 34 games. Junior Alex Fieldhouse also scored twice and drew three walks for ECU.
The Pirates had a 6-0 lead after four innings, but the pesky Golden Hurricane were able to score two runs in the fifth, a run in the sixth and another tally in the seventh inning. Tulsa even brought the potential go-ahead run to the plate in the seventh in the person of the league's leading RBI hitter, Samantha Cobb, with runners on second and third. Christian was able to induce a two-out ground out to the shortstop though to give ECU the victory.
The seventh inning started innocently enough with a strikeout and foul out, but the next three hitters reached on singles with the last hit by Jill Barrett driving in Cierra Hughes from second to cut the ECU lead to just two runs. Both runners were able to move up a base on the attempted play at the plate, but Christian kept calm and was able to get the grounder to short to end the contest.
Lewis helped the Pirates jump out to an early lead with her three-run home run to the opposite field in the opening inning. Junior Kristi Oshiro singled and moved to second as Fieldhouse drew a four-pitch walk. Both scored as Lewis hit her fourth home run of the season. Three of her four home runs have gone to the opposite field this year.
The Pirates added a pair of runs to the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Fieldhouse reached on a fielder's choice and moved to second on Lewis' walk. A throwing error by the pitcher allowed freshman Casey Alcorn to reach and Fieldhouse to score from second. Lewis moved to third on the play and scored as Alcorn stole second and she stole home.
ECU started a two-out rally in the fourth inning. Junior Jill Jelnick reached on infield base hit to the shortstop. Oshiro, Fieldhouse and Lewis then drew three straight walks to drive in Jelnick with the team's sixth run of the game.
Tulsa quickly plated a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning. Haley Henshaw reached on an infield single and scored on Julie Kernan's home run to right-center field.
The Golden Hurricane drew a run closer and also brought the potential tying run to the plate in the sixth. Caitlin Everett reached on a lead-off bunt single. Barrett moved her to second as she reached safe on an error by the ECU defense. After a foul out to the outfield moved Everett to third, she later scored on Middlebrooks' RBI single.
ECU next heads to Huntington, West Virginia to take on Marshall in a doubleheader on Saturday starting at 1 p.m. The Pirates wrap up the series against the Thundering Herd with a noon contest on Sunday.

Hardening of the arteries and subsequent coronary artery disease is the biggest single threat to all our lives. Heart disease will kill 40 per cent of us, and those of us who don't die from it may be affected by arteriosclerosis in the form of decreased mental capacity or decreased blood flow to vital organs. Small wonder that discovery of the cause of this condition rates even higher than discovery of the cause of cancer as the Holy Grail of medicine.
Until recently, medical scientists have been pursuing the trail of risk factors. Because it's been noted that a high blood level of cholesterol, particularly if correlated with a high level of low density lipoprotein, is a risk factor for heart disease, doctors have made the erroneous assumption that a high cholesterol intake itself causes heart disease. However, one of the more important holes in the cholesterol/fat theory is the lack of an explanation for the rapid rise in the incidence of arteriosclerosis, heart disease and stroke during the early and mid parts of the 20th century and the sudden and rapid decline beginning in the mid 1960s.
Studies of the American diet have failed to find any correlation between the cholesterol and fat content of an individual's diet and the changes produced by arteriosclerosis. The fat and cholesterol content of the US diet has changed very little in the last few decades, even though there has been a two to threefold decline in the incidence of patients with arterial disease. Studies also showed there were no significant changes in blood levels of cholesterol and low density lipoproteins.
While most medical scientists were busy continuing to follow down the path of cholesterol, one unlikely renegade, a pathologist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island named Dr Kilmer McCully, detoured away from fats and cholesterol and began looking at the role of homocysteine, an amino acid derived from the normal breakdown of proteins in the body.
The first clue that homocysteine levels might cause heart disease came from studying people who had died from homocysteinuria. In this rare genetic disease, the liver is unable to dispose of homocysteine normally because of a genetic error in the liver enzyme cystathione synthase. Many sufferers of homocysteinurea die in childhood from blood clots in the brain, heart and kidneys causing heart attacks, strokes or kidney failure. Interestingly, on post mortem examination, all the arteries of these patients are highly abnormal. Even eight year old children have hardening and loss of elasticity in the arterial walls conditions usually only present in the elderly. The urine of these patients always contains homocysteine.
The enzyme adenosyl methionine converts homocysteine to form methionine, an amino acid found in all proteins. This complicated process has been found to require the action of both vitamin B12 and folic acid. Other researchers have found that in some patients with homocysteinuria, the amount of homocysteine in the urine is dramatically decreased by moderately large doses of vitamin B6.
>From his studies, McCully saw that vitamins B6, folic acid and B12 are all important in the processes involved with homocysteinuria, and that in this rare genetic disease, homocysteine causes damage and hardening of the arteries by a direct effect on the cells and tissues lining the arteries.

BAGHDAD — Car bombs tore through shopping areas within minutes of each other in mainly Shi'ite neighborhoods of the Iraqi capital on Sunday, killing at least 37 people and wounding more than 130.
The attacks come amid rising sectarian discord in Iraq and appear aimed at shaking Iraqis' confidence in the Shi'ite-led government. The explosions struck at the start of the local work week and primarily targeted outdoor markets.
Violence in Iraq has fallen since the height of sectarian fighting in 2006 and 2007, but insurgents still frequently launch lethal attacks against security forces and civilians. It was the third time this month that attacks have claimed more than 20 lives in a day.
The attacks began with the detonation of a parked car loaded with explosives in the sprawling Shi'ite district of Sadr City on Sunday morning. Two more parked cars later exploded in the neighborhood.
Nima Khadum, a government employee, said the blasts shattered the windows of his Sadr City house. He said the air was heavy with smoke, while burning cars littered the street and the bodies of the dead and wounded lay nearby.
''The scene was a bloody one that brought to my mind the painful memories of the violent past,'' he said. ''I don't see the benefit of security checkpoints that only cause traffic jams and don't do anything to secure Baghdad. The government, with its failing security forces, bears full responsibility for the bloodshed today.''
Simultaneous explosions hit the southeastern Baghdad neighborhood of al-Amin, where the force of the blasts left behind little except the mangled chassis of two cars.
An open-air market in Husseiniya,northeast of the capital, and the Kamaliya area in Baghdad's eastern suburbs were also hit. Another car bomb exploded near vendors and a police car in the central commercial district of Karradah.
Police and hospital officials provided the death toll. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to brief reporters.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but similar ones have been orchestrated by Sunni extremists, such as Al Qaeda's local affiliate. The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, favors large-scale, coordinated attacks.

The first Classic of the season, the 1600m Listed UAE 1000 Guineas has attracted a field of seven headed by Godolphin's Gamilati who comfortably won the 1400m trial for the race on her local debut. Trained by Mahmoud Al Zarooni, she proved she handles the all-weather surface on that occasion and she looks the one they all have to beat with Frankie Dettori again in the saddle.
Alsindi, trained by last season's champion trainer Ali Rashid Al Raihe, chased Gamilati home in the trial but meets the Godolphin filly on worse terms, under the level weight of this contest.
Trainer Herman Brown saddles UAE debutante Moon Spun who was second in Group 2 company in her native South Africa on her latest start, but that was in May and she will probably need the race.
The Group 3 Al Shindagha Sprint is over the same 1200m on the all-weather as the Group 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen, also sponsored by Gulf News on Dubai World Cup night. Carnival winners Addictive Dream and Captain Obvious will be advertising their claims to an invitation to the latter on this occassion.
Addictive Dream has won twice on turf already this year for British trainer David 'Dandy' Nicholls and should not mind the switch to the all-weather as he has good form on Polytrack in the UK. His draw in four looks good and Nicholls said: "The horse has done everything we have asked of him thus far and this is the next logical step. The [all-weather] will not be an excuse and he deserves this step up in grade."
Captain Obvious is one of the four winners from only five runners saddled in the UAE this year by Singapore-based Steven Burridge. He was very impressive when he won over course and distance under Oscar Chavez who is again in the saddle with the jockey defending his 100% UAE strike rate (he won on Captain Obvious and IP Man, who runs in the Meydan Classic Trial Sponsored By XPRESS, on his only two mounts thus far.)
The draw has not been so kind to him though, he will have to jump from gate nine, whereas Bahrain's Krypton Factor is perfectly drawn in three to try and repeat his all the way victory of last week over this course and distance. That was in a handicap but his owner/trainer Fawzi Nass explained: "That was a very good win last time and we need to try him in this company to see how good he is over this trip."
Track record holder Alo Pura, trained by Dhruba Selvaratnam, heads the list of dangers.

Student or Learner
Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to explain to me the authoritative grammatical rule concerning the expression in bold in the following excerpt from an English text?
Measures of another kind that can also be employed by the Secretary Council are the operations of the UN peace-keeping armed forces and military observer missions.
There is a plural in my native language also by the substantive military obsevers.
Thank you for your efforts.
Hi siegfried_rus,
Thank you for your reply as well as for your excellent explanation.
As you probably know, the similarly grammatical rule applies to following cases too: two-mile race, three-hour interval, twelve-question show, sixty-four dollar quiz?
Thank you again for your backing.
You are welcome, vil!
We seem to coincide in our focus on grammar theory, that's perhaps why it so happened that most of my choice questions to answer have so far been yours. In a foreign language, each time I come across an uknown, or even vague, case, I can't go further until I've made inquiries to learn and understand it...
Re your examples: it seems you hit it on the nail!

Open Innovations and International Collaboration in the Context of Emerging Economies
In this paper we examine how firms perform open innovation in the context of an emerging economy.
Specifically, we investigate how Jordanian pharmaceutical firms collaborate internationally, over a period of
time, for open innovations and how this influences their innovation performance. The research is based on four
detailed case studies of leading firms. We find that participating in international collaboration has a positive
influence on open innovation performance, but only when the form of collaboration is highly integrated and the
internal R&D can absorb and adapt innovation. In particular, the greater the degree of open innovation, the
higher the innovation performance. Internal R&D and external innovation strategies are found to complement
each other, demonstrating that a strategy of open innovation is not a substitute for internal capabilities, but rather
a development path to developing higher innovation performance.

Could such an aircraft be configured for mapping the surface of Mars?
Try it and see. X-Plane [x-plane.com] lets you fly on Mars [x-plane.com]. Yes, there's a Linux version too, and you can find a bunch of electric (and/or rocket) aircraft for Mars on X-Plane.org [x-plane.org].
Thank you, that's awesome.
There are probably a lot of parallel paths. Composite technology was well-known, but was until recently not able to support the requirements for aircraft weighing and transporting several tons. While I don't expect this kind of electric technology to replace the jet turbines of commercial airliners (it'd be like running a cruise ship off of a bank of batteries), there might be some things that migrate up into the regional propeller aircraft.
I recall reading that Blue Origin had made some startling advances in achieving "smoking crater".
Maybe NASA is funding these projects is to show that it isn't that easy.
To me it's really worth it to help out Blue Origin a bit just to know if their approach can be done right now because it would be a game changer. Smoking craters are to be expected and don't bother me.
I wonder where most of the technology is driven, by large scale commercial operations like Boeing etc, or the smaller scale university departments and independent efforts. Most of the new Dreamliner "concepts" like the composite materials are something sport gliders have been pioneering for decades.
You've forgotten (if you in fact knew) that composites have been used for missile motor cases (starting with the Polaris A-2), and for aircraft flight control surfaces and stabilizers, and other such applications
From the link
30 minutes of autonomous cruise flight at 110km/h
Hardly comes close to the 200 miles at 100+ MPH. That's about Two Hours at 160kph (if I read it and did my math right).
or not bothering with building the plane until a more sustainable form of battery or capacitor is on the market.
I wonder, wonder, wonder if having more electric vehicles will result in more research for better batteries and capacitors compared to not having electric vehicles.
I wonder, wonder, wonder.
It won't. Everyone is already very aware of how much the world needs better battery technology, and how valuable such technology would be.
Electric vehicles can benefit from upgrades in battery tech even if it's a radically different electricity storage medium (say a supercapacitor). Electrons are electrons, motors don't care if the wattage comes from a LiPo, LiAir, Supercap, NiMH, NiCad, or even lead acid...
Besides, in 3-4 years we'll have Mr Fusions and our electric planes and cars will be ready for a drop-in replacement. Combustion vehicles will require a major retrofit.
Combustion vehicles would generally need an entirely new engine if someone discovered a more energy dense fuel.
While the initial 'cost' of a lithium battery is higher than the initial 'cost' of an internal combustion engine, the overall or "lifecycle" cost of a lithium battery is lower than that of an internal combustion engine. [cars21.com]
on less than one gallon of fuel or electric equivalent
This is obviously neglecting the energy required for the initial charge of the batteries. A jet would fare much better if you didn't count the fuel in it's tank when it took off.

Without checking, I'll just assume that the contest was designed with an enormous and obvious loophole, that way I can criticize it more easily.

This is obviously neglecting the energy required for the initial charge of the batteries. A jet would fare much better if you didn't count the fuel in it's tank when it took off.
But you're obviously neglecting the energy required to refine the jet fuel. And the fuel required for all the employees at the refinery to get to work. And the fuel required at the farms that produced the cereal for those workers' breakfasts. And the fuel required to power the turtles all the way down.
Or maybe the original metric made the most sense for head-to-head comparisons, and you won't be as nit-picky in the future. Though that's a lot to ask of slashdotters.
Interesting to see how many NASA and DoD contracts they've identified that are essentially trying to crowdsource innovative, cost-effective solutions that improve the aerospace performance envelope.
Big budgets and high-caliber engineering skill and equipment are great for developing a concept, but unfortunately, innovation isn't a skill we teach well in school yet, and the need for innovative approaches are at the core of these problems. I really hope these programs have success!
This is a fundemental problem, often erroneously addressed as an education problem.
Hear me out here:
The training an engineer gets revolves around already known points of data. Things like the shear of a sheet of 2025, or the total energy in 1 liter of octane, etc. This is what an education gets you.
Using this already known information to produce provably airworthy craft with minimal risks and unknowns is the staple of commercial avionics.
The application of what is already known, to devise new and untested a
Peregrine falcons can reach over 200 MPH in a dive.
They get their own fuel.
They are self replicating and have amazing eyesight.
They can be trained.
While they're not naturally distance fliers, then can convert their insane dive speed to distance.
Why spend millions developing fragile, limited, little planes?
Spend tens of thousands training a bunch of birds, and strap a camera to them.
They last for years, are undetectable by radar, and are unremarkable when actually detected.
Or at least take a clue from birds
You should get to work on breeding falcons that can carry 4 people, and let us know how it goes. Since aircraft in the competition were allotted the equivalent of one gallon of fuel per passenger per 200 miles, a vehicle that carries no passengers would be allotted no fuel.
If the goal is automation and size, we need to stop with the fixed wing bullshit.
If the goal is speed and flight duration, we've got larger, high-altitude craft that already fit the bill.
Not every competition is about war and spying. This contest is designed to improve fuel efficiency in passenger aircraft. Not automation, not size, not speed, not duration. Efficiency.
well how much do you thing a falcon can carry? now how many do i need to life my 200LBS ass, and my 40LBS of gear 200 miles in 2 hours from a standing start on the ground?
I somewhat agree with your for the drone/UAV market and if this article had been about that and I had mod points i may have given you a few.
As a note flexible/flapping wing planes are under development, but it turns out they are hard to control. Perching UAVs are as well, with both solar and peristic recharging methods.
I wonder how far a g
African or European? Either way, I bet they can carry a couple of coconuts.
I'm sorry. I don't understand what performance similarities a three pound bird has to an airplane that can carry four people a few hundred miles in a couple hours. Maybe you could help me understand.
I don't understand why we need new planes to carry people when we already have existing planes that do it faster, more stealthily, with more armaments, etc.
The point is that they're pouring millions into shit we already have answers for.
We have unmanned high altitude surveillance craft that basically float for months on end.
We have little drones that go in under radar and bomb people.
We have planes of various sizes to carry people.
What we don't have are inconspicuous drones that can fly fast and act autonom
You're not making any sense. This competition is about small, efficient, electric airplanes. So your babbling about micro-air vehicles just doesn't have anything to do with that solution space.
If you can train the birds, guarantee you can get a DARPA contract. I also guarantee that you can't train the birds.
The test is to deliver 200 passenger miles per gallon. The winner had four seats so it was allowed to use up to four gallons (equivalent) of fuel to cover the 200 mile distance.
At the same time the article states that they achieved >400 passenger miles per gallon. Additionally, if you check the rules, they were also required to carry 200 lbs per seat in the plane. (17 http://cafefoundation.org/v2/pdf_GFC/GFC.TA.07.28.09.pdf [cafefoundation.org] ) I'm actually more impressed that they were able to pull this off with a decent carrying capacity.
I was wondering how one defines "passenger"? Are the pilot and co-pilot considered passengers? If they had stated occupants this issue would not exist.
funny how they seem to hide the fact that the winner is a small glider company from Slovenia, EU, called Pipistrel, see here: http://www.pipistrel.si/news/pipistrel-won-the-nasa-green-flight-challenge-for-the-third- [pipistrel.si]
and they have been winning this challenge for 3 years in a row now!
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.

A MAN armed with a baseball bat and described as loud and violent held up the recently redeveloped Star Mart Caltex Service Station at South Nowra late Thursday evening.
Police were called to the service station, on the corner of the Princes Highway and Browns Road just south of the McDonald's restaurant, shortly after 11pm.
The man, who was wearing dark jeans and had a maroon coloured T-shirt around his head, allegedly entered the service station and threatened a 24-year-old female staff member with a baseball bat.
He allegedly struck the front counter and a counter display with the bat, smashing the display and scattering confectionary over the floor.
Police said, the man, who was given a small amount of cash and cigarettes, also struck the station's glass doors a number of times with the bat as he was leaving the premises.
The female attendant was uninjured in the robbery but was shaken.
Police were on scene moments after the hold-up but the man, who had arrived on foot, fled across the highway and into bushland near the entrance road to the Flinders Industrial Estate.
Police searched the bush on the western side of the highway for a number of hours but found no trace of the man.
They also searched nearby Chapman Motors at South Nowra after police received reports the man was seen jumping the fence into the car yard.
Crime scene officers from Forensic Services and Shoalhaven detectives were at the location well into Friday morning examining the scene and gathering evidence.
The incident is the latest in a series of similar armed robberies across the Shoalhaven in the past six months.
Police are hoping CCTV footage from the store may be able to help identify the man.
He is described as Caucasian in appearance, between 160-165 centimetres tall with short cropped hair.
Anyone with any information about the robbery is urged to contact Shoalhaven detectives on 44219699 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333000.

Arsenal are planning a move for highly rated Anderlecht forward David Henen, who is also a target for Manchester United, reports Italian website calciomercato.it.
The 16-year-old winger is the new phenomenon in Belgian football, with a similar playing style to Eden Hazard - who completed a £32million move to Chelsea in August - though he has also been labelled the 'new Cristiano Ronaldo' in his homeland.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has shown an interest in the talented teenager, but will wait for him to develop before deciding whether or not to bring him to Old Trafford.
However, Manchester United may be forced to shore up their interest sooner, after it emerged that Arsene Wenger is also monitoring Henen's situation, and is ready to swoop to secure his signature for the Gunners.
The Frenchman is renowned for nurturing and developing promising young players, and so a move to the Emirates Stadium might not be a bad thing for him to consider, with Arsenal a proven platform for emerging stars in the Premier League.
Henen was born in Luxembourg before being snapped up by Standard Liege at the tender age of 12. He then spent three years in the Liege youth set up before making the move to Anderlecht, where he has continued to excel.
Football in Belgium is experiencing a renaissance at the moment with a host of players earning big money moves abroad.
Thomas Vermaelen, Vincent Kompany and Mousa Dembele are already established Premier League stars while Chelsea have - in addition to Hazard - talented trio Roman Lukaku, Kevin de Bruyne, and Thibaut Coutiois on their books.

#1 Newt Gingrich: Kill the Paulson Plan. Hard.

I just got back from a Newt Gingrich press conference where I had a nice back-and-forth dialogue with the former Speaker of the House about the Paulson Plan, which he totally hates. A few quotes and Gingrichian observations:
1) He called it a "stupid plan" that looks like it had been designed by autocrat Vladimir Putin. He also said it will be a "nightmare" to implement and full of corruption.
2) He said the Paulson Plan would be a "dead loser" on Election Day that will "break against anyone who votes for it." It will hurt even worse with the 2010 election once Americans see what a drag it is on the economy when implemented.
3) He recently chatted with economic historian Alan Meltzer who advocated doing nothing rather than implanting the Paulson Plan. Meltzer apparently joked to Gingrich that this was about the third time he had seen Wall Street scream "the apocalypse was nigh" only to have the economy keep right on chugging along.
4) Gingrich thinks that if the Paulson Plan isn't passed by this weekend, it is dead and the White House better have a Plan B, economic-growth package ready. Right now, he still thinks it has an 80 percent chance of passage, partly because of Paulson's apocalyptic tone that if a bill isn't passed, "the whole world will end on Tuesday."

Newton girls' golf is swinging into the regular season. They competed in their second meet of the season on Monday in Urbandale at the Urbandale Invite.
The team finished fourth overall at the event behind Ankeny, Valley and Johnston.
Following a rusty performance in the team's first meet, senior Bailey Kellogg reminded the competition what she is capable of doing. Kellogg came back strong with a plus-10 performance with a 47. Her coach was more than pleased with the senior's performance.
"Bailey definitely improved. I was really proud of her and the way she was able to rebound off of a difficult outing in the meet last week," coach Scott Enyart said. "She birdied hole six. That was a shining moment for her. Her ball striking was very much improved. She worked hard on her game over the weekend, and it really paid off."
The team's second lowest total came from junior Madeline Wellik, with a 51. Wellik had one of the most interesting rounds imaginable. Golf has a way of reminding a vast majority of people who play it of their humanity. Wellik felt the brunt of this at a few points in Monday's meet. She drained a 50-foot putt early in her round, but found herself in trouble later on. On hole seven, a par-5, Wellik hit her tee shot into the woods and ended up laying four in the fairway from 140 yards. Of course with her fifth shot, she holed-out from the fairway for par. That, in essence, is the epitome of the sport.
"It was fun, for lack of a better word," Enyard joked.
Fellow junior Madigan Hillyard shot a 52 with a par on hole two, widely considered the most difficult hole on the golf course.
Rounding out the action for the players who scored was sophomore Shelby Cochran. Cochran shot a 53 with a par on hole number nine. Her round could have gone much differently, however, as the scorecard failed to tell the whole story.
"On one hole Shelby scored a six, but she hit the wrong ball. So, she went back and played another ball and shot a seven," Enyart said. "They then added the two-stroke penalty, putting her at a nine. On another hole, it took her three shots to get out of the sand. So, really she could have easily scored six strokes better than she did. I'm proud of her for not letting those things get to her out there, because she still played really well."
The Cardinal players who didn't score were freshman Jessica Reynolds, who medaled in the team's first meet. She shot a 58 on Monday. Also, junior Carrie Cunningham shot a non-counting 57.
All-in-all, coach Enyart was pleased with the effort out of his team.
"It was a good day for us," Enyart said. "There were more bright spots today than at this meet last year. We were 20 strokes better this year. Factor in the fact that we still haven't had nearly the practice time that we had at this point last year. The girls are doing a really good job. Everybody has scored now, and I think they're going to post some good scores this season."
The Cardinals' season continues on Tuesday against Pella Christian and Knoxville at Westwood Golf Course in Newton.

California Department of Transportation
Headquarters - Public Affairs Office
Tamie McGowen
(916) 657-5060
October 10 , 2006
MODESTO – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced today that Susan Gallardo and her sons, Adam and Armando - students at Peter Johansen High School in Modesto – and Instructor Randall Zimmer from Advantage Driving School in San Jose won new Toyota Scion cars as part of the "Slow for the Cone Zone" teen sweepstakes.
Gallardo and her sons watched a short educational video on the "Slow for the Cone Zone" website www.slowfortheconezone.com. The video offered tips on how to drive safely in a cone zone such as: merging early; slowing down; beware of surroundings; putting down the cell phone; and turning down the radio. Afterward, Gallardo and her sons completed a quiz, which entered them into the drawing.
Zimmer entered to win when he received a "Slow for the Cone Zone" curriculum box from the campaign containing an educational DVD and contest entry card. Zimmer completed the entry card and mailed it in after choosing to utilize the curriculum in his driving school.
Caltrans began its statewide public education campaign called "Slow for the Cone Zone" in 1999 to educate motorists to drive more safely in highway work zones. Since this safety campaign began, motorists deaths in highway works zones have fallen 35 percent in California – while increasing 43% in 49 other states.
According to a 2005 survey by Consumer Quest, 50 percent of California motorists say they are aware of the "Slow for the Cone Zone" campaign, and 86 percent of those say it has had a positive impact on the way they drive in highway work zones.
Last December Caltrans launched a new statewide driver safety education campaign urging teens to "Slow for the Cone Zone." Participating high school students were offered a chance to win a new Toyota Scion xA, with upgraded tires, rims and car insurance for a year supplied by corporate sponsors Clear Channel and Just Tires.
Classroom materials and private driver's training were incorporated to teach teens to be watchful and to slow down in highway work zones.
"Driving is a huge responsibility and 16-year-olds are four times as likely as other drivers to be killed in a collision," Kempton said. "We set out with our teen campaign to educate them that they can save their life and their passenger's life by slowing down in a work zone."
"Congratulations to Adam and Armando for winning the "Slow for the Cone Zone" sweepstakes," said Thor Harrison, principal of Peter Johansen High School. "These students embody the qualities we teach here at Johansen High School, "Belong, Learn, Contribute."

Why The CIA Picked AWS Even Though IBM's Estimate Was Cheaper
AWS's estimated price for the CIA cloud was around $148 million, whereas IBM's was about $94 million. Despite the discrepancy, the CIA picked AWS, and there are a couple of reasons for this, Wheeler said in the ruling.
IBM's guaranteed minimum was $39 million, while AWS's guaranteed minimum was $25 million. Wheeler said because IBM's $39 million figure was "nearly double the anticipated Year 1 amount for IBM's services," the CIA would've likely had to "make a large year-end payment to IBM." What's more, the CIA saw that IBM's contract proposal would have allowed it "to request restructuring of the entire agreement after Year 2 if the service price in that year did not exceed the guaranteed minimum," Wheeler said in the ruling.
These terms allowed IBM "to propose a low price for the agency's proposal evaluation purposes, but then to argue for negotiation of a higher price in the later years of performance," Wheeler said in the ruling.

An ethics of forgiveness
J M Vorster
North-west University, Potchefstroom
This article investigates the argument that the Christian idea of forgiveness can and should be translated into a socio-political context, from a Reformed perspective. It furthermore endeavours to provide guidelines that can be applied in the sphere of a political transition of the basis of an ethics of forgiveness. The new post-Apartheid society of South Africa is a good example of such a political transition. The central theoretical argument of this investigation is that the Christian theological perspective of forgiveness can indeed be translated into a socio-political praxis. Seen within the context of major biblical themes, this can provide a valuable, if not indispensable, contribution to the quest for reconciliation and nation-building in countries troubled by histories of colonialism, ethnocentrism, tribalism, racism and xenophobia.

SOAP ROLES: Siobhan Ryan, RYAN'S HOPE (1978-1980)
Lynn Liccardo: I was so pleased to see Sarah Felder's name on this list. In 1978, Felder originated the role of Siobhan Ryan Novak on RYAN'S HOPE, her first, and last, soap opera role. Her run is just now coming to an end, as SOAPnet airs the spring 1980 episodes, so I expect her inclusion is due more to this fortuitous timing than anything else.
Watching Felder's subtle, nuanced, textured performance over the past year (SOAPnet airs ten episodes a week), I simply cannot comprehend why she's not found work as an actor since leaving RH, and instead works as a dialect coach. Of course, the writing didn't hurt either; there's an episode with Felder and Helen Gallagher in which Siobhan talks with her mother, Maeve, and slowly comes to the realization that her husband, Joe, is indeed part of his uncle's criminal organization that's a master class in multi-layered storytelling. Felder's firing is one of those events that speaks volumes about the real reasons behind soaps' downward spiral over the past 30 years.
Daniel Hugh Kelly: (played Felder's brother on RH) A talent so awesome it was frightening. A Julliard beauty, who's long hair and soft eyes were as memorable as her scenes. A sensitive yet intense actress, who would push herself to excel in every scene she was ever in....Sarah always gave everything she had, left nothing in the rehearsal room, and employed a work ethic that was truly impressive.

Minnesota Vikings rookie offensive tackle Matt Kalil was added to the NFC roster for the upcoming Pro Bowl on Friday, taking the spot of Washington's Trent Williams due to injury.
Kalil, the No. 4 overall selection in this past April's draft, started all 16 regular-season games for the Vikings at left tackle as well as the team's loss to Green Bay in the NFC Wild Card Playoffs. The USC product helped pave the way for running back Adrian Peterson's near-record total of 2,097 rushing yards, just nine shy of breaking Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson's NFL mark for most in a single season.
The 23-year-old will be the fourth Minnesota rookie named to the Pro Bowl since 2007, joining kicker and fellow 2012 draft choice Blair Walsh, Peterson (2007) and wide receiver Percy Harvin (2009).
Kalil's selection gives the Vikings seven participants in Sunday's Pro Bowl, with Peterson, Walsh, defensive end Jared Allen, fullback Jerome Felton, linebacker Chad Greenway and tight end Kyle Rudolph also on the NFC squad.

I was wondering if anyone had tried this one and how it compares to other lavenders you've tried. From what I've read it seems like it would be similar to 1725 Casanova which features lavender and anise as well.

I was wondering if anyone had tried this one and how it compares to other lavenders you've tried. From what I've read it seems like it would be similar to 1725 Casanova which features lavender and anise as well.
I have every one in this line and Brin de Reglise is my favorite. Love the licorice vibe.
A lovely scent, that IMO just doesn't last long enough for the price tag. Read more on these threads:
Lovely lavender. I remember it being a quality lavender.
I wear this sometimes .... when i need something sweet and licorice,
The principal notes is Licorice... but the sillage is almos sweet clean Lavender
and nice long lasting .
I prefeer wear this in cold days.
Sounds like a good, albeit expensive one. Any ideas on where to get a sample?
Email Hermès and ask for it. A number of people seem to be able to get Hermessence samples that way.
I've smelled it before a while back, but have not tested it yet from our sampling group package. I remember it as a very light scent, just what it claims: lavender with a bit of licorice. Little projection and only low to moderate durability on the skin. But I will update this post when I retest it.
I suspect the licorice will probably make it too sweet for me. My benchmark lavender-floral-amber fougere is the beautiful and brilliant Arome 3. I still would like to try it.
I did not find it sweet. I'll wear it tomorrow and report.
maybe Brin de Réglisse is too much sweet ,
Aroma 3 is nice !
I look forward to your comments.
I read that Ellena worked the lavender accord to remove the molecules that make it harsh / cleaner smelling, what's left is a clean, light, pleasing lavender... and without a "synthetic" edge. I'm not a huge fan of anise, and a lot of time lavender doesn't work for me either but Brin is a really well made frag that I enjoy. I would not purchase though.
BTW it really is licorice rather than anise; entirely different plants, though the notes are similar.
I look forward to your comments after wearning it
This is copied and pasted from my post on the Hermessences group thread:
Today I'm wearing 2 sprays of Brin de Reglisse.
A blast of black licorice hit me right away. Not anise-- licorice. I happen to have a bag of licorice allsorts on hand (yum!) and eating one of the plain rubbery black ones (my least favorite) while sniffing the fragrance, they really are the same.
After 40 minutes, the lavender is beginning to rise up. It has very low sillage, though-- even from a foot away my daughter cannot smell it.
I like it well enough so far but it is not what I would call exciting or complex.
Post will be updated later.
Edit: An hour and a half later I can't smell it any more unless I stick my nose into my shirt (fortunately I'm home-- ha!) The licorice and lavender are both present and smell good. It is not sweet.
I notice this lavender isn't as strong or as pungent as some; it is also not powdery.
Edit: Two hours after application I can barely smell it anymore, even up close.
This is a pleasant, unchallenging and completely inoffensive licorice + lavender that stays close to the skin and is gone in a couple of hours. Be prepared to apply more than 2 sprays initially and to reapply, if you want the scent to persist.
I was curious about the so-called stylized lavender that JCE used in this scent-- I understand that of 50 molecules he removed 5 to produce this special lavender note. I don't know if this is what reduced its pungency but if so, it made a less assertive lavender note. Maybe this is a lavender for those who are on the fence when it comes to lavender.
Out of the five frags from the Hermessence line I've got samples of, this is my least favorite. I really just can't do the licorice. Also, as 30 Roses noted, it has poor sillage and longevity.
Hopefully Hermes will send me a sample so I may experience it.
mi-hooked? is selling a sample on the sale board: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/222...es-on-the-net-!!
Well, I received a sample from my local Hermes boutique and would like to share my thoughts. The licorice is very good and true to the natural root scent. I find the lavender very mute and not enough for me to consider this a lavender-based scent. The longevity is brief and the sillage restrained. If you love licorice this is for you! I am ambivalent toward licorice so I won't be shelling out the $300 for a bottle. It is exaclty what it claims--a strand of licorice.
I read the OP. Didn't read any of the responses. All I will say is I have smelled this fragrance as well as the rest of the Hermessence line. This is one of my least favorite niche/high end designer fragrances I have ever laid my nose on. It was extremely offputting.
The high quality of ingredients is evident, but it doesn't do a whole lot for me. Perfect licorice if that's what you like.

Overall impression: Rodeo calls itself a Southern restaurant and bar. Southern, in this case, is an incredibly wide net: Southwestern, Tex-Mex, barbecue, Cajun-Creole as well as the food traditionally associated with the South. No surprise, the results are mixed, but the servings are generous and the price is right.
Ambience: From the street or sidewalk, you'd hardly know how handsome Rodeo is inside. Stone walls, wooden furniture and a cozy bar give Rodeo a comfortable neighborhood feel.
Background: Beaumont, Texas-born owner Trent Baker is a former psychologist who fell in love with restaurants in graduate school when he worked as a food expediter at Houston's. "I researched a good six or seven years, looked around Wilton Drive and found the perfect spot." Rodeo opened two years ago.
Starters: Much of the food at Rodeo has a semi-home-made quality, as though it relies on a lot of prepared ingredients. At times, there's just too much going for anyone's good. Barbecue nachos ($8.95), for example, are a good idea, but the shredded brisket overwhelmed the dish. Fried green tomatoes ($10.75) were greasy and salty. Other appetizers include chile con queso ($7.75), coconut shrimp ($9.95) and New Orleans quesadilla ($9.95) with blackened shrimp, andouille sausage, Creole sauce and smoked gouda. Chopped barbecue salad ($13.55) combines slow smoked barbecue pulled pork, tomatoes, cucumber, Monterey jack, croutons and mixed greens with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. The balance of flavors was off with the salty pork taking over the entire dish.
Entree excellence: I like Rodeo's jambalaya pasta ($14.75) — penne tossed with Cajun chicken, blackened shrimp, andouille sausage and Creole tomato sauce. It was nicely seasoned without being taken over by one ingredient, as was the case with Smokey meatloaf ($14.55). About all you can taste in the meatloaf is smoky barbecue sauce and smoky bacon. The lightly blackened shrimp in Shrimp & grits ($14.55) overshadows the bacon and cheddar grits with Cajun mushroom sauce. Dos sopes ($14.55) starts with two corn cakes stuffed with mozzarella and served on top of roasted red pepper sauce. One cake is topped with lime chicken, lettuce, tomato and cilantro while the other is topped with chorizo, black beans, guacamole and cheese. The dish has a let's-throw-everything-in quality. Carnitas ($15.25) ought to be called Make-your-own-burritos. A ramekin of roasted pork is served with chipotle lime slaw, cumin scented black beans and pico de gallo, which you place into corn tortillas. Burger preparations include Cajun ($10.95), Southwestern ($10.75), Tex-Mex ($11.95) and Southern ($11.25) with fried green tomatoes and pimento and cheese. They're served with seasoned curly fries or sweet potato tots and "contain a small amount of pork," according to the menu.
Sweet!: Just one dessert was offered on one visit. And for good reason. Pineapple upside down cake with a molasses drizzle ($5.75) has none of the qualities I associate with this classic. No caramelized edges. No bright yellow cake. Instead, we were served something that tasted as though it was pulled from the dark reaches of the refrigerator.
Service: Uneven. We had a real pro on our first visit and a novice on our second. We preferred the pro.
Dining deal: Two-for-one dinners 4 p.m.-close on Sundays. Half price martinis 5:30 p.m. to close on Wednesdays.

Calling Hurricane Katrina a man-made disaster, actor Brad Pitt said on Tuesday he remains committed to helping the city recover from the storm.
Nearly two years after the August 29, 2005 hurricane, the Ocean's Thirteen star said he was at times dismayed by the pace of recovery in New Orleans, where he and partner Angelina Jolie own an elegant townhouse in the historic French Quarter.
Pitt was in the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood to tour an ecologically sustainable single-family home being built by Global Green USA, an environmental group he backs.
The actor praised the house in the Holy Cross area of the ward as a small victory for efforts to rebuild the city, but said, it's hard to find an overall victory when you see how slowly everything is still moving. And Katrina was a man-made disaster. This house is a man-made solution.
Pitt said the city's flood-protection defenses must be restored before displaced residents feel confident enough to rebuild.
We've got to push to get these levees taken care of in the correct fashion, he told reporters at a news conference in the hurricane-ravaged working class neighborhood.
The house that Pitt toured, loosely modeled on the distinctive New Orleans shotgun style of long, narrow homes, will generate almost all its electricity from 28 roof-mounted solar panels, said Global Green USA president Matt Petersen.
Global Green hopes to use the house, which should be completed this fall, as a prototype for the neighborhood. Built not far from the banks of the Mississippi River and raised by three feet on concrete pilings, it is above sea level.
Some in the area, which was not as badly flooded as others in the city, are rebuilding. But a lack of funds have kept most from starting fresh.
Levee repairs are ongoing and engineers differ over how the new levees will fare in a major storm.
The environmental group has pledged to create a residential community of green structures, including an 18-unit, low-income apartment building near the Mississippi.
Pitt, 43, said the redevelopment project could help encourage people whose homes were destroyed in the storm to return and rebuild in a more environmentally conscious fashion.
We knew we couldn't bring back the families and friends that were lost, bring back the heirlooms, the pictures, Pitt said. But maybe, in the process of rebuilding, we could build something smarter, and create a better way of life for those people who live here.

You just can't keep a good man-child down. Paul Reubens, the artist known as Pee-wee, bounds back onto our TV screens this weekend in "The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway" (9 p.m. Saturday, HBO; *** out of 4 stars).
Filmed in January at the end of his Broadway show's limited run at Stephen Sondheim Theater, it's a yummy jump back in time to the 1980s, when Pee-wee first appeared on HBO before launching "Pee-wee's Playhouse" on CBS to the delight of both children and adults.
Pee-wee looks older (Reubens is now 59, after all), but the bow-tie wearing Peter Pan hasn't changed beyond that. He's still filled with childlike wonder and bratty sass, trading gags with all his familiar friends, including Cowboy Curtis (Phil LaMarr), Miss Yvonne (Lynne Marie Stewart), Mailman Mike (John Moody), Sergio (Jesse Garcia) and, of course, Chairy, Conky, Pterry and Jambi.
The show definitely lives in a time capsule, with Reubens and company joking about the Sham Wow and Bumpit. He does score when bringing up gay marriage, and makes a clever blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to his own indecent exposure arrest 20 years ago.
Many viewers might require more plot over silliness, or some kind of statement about how children, or the world they live in, have changed over the past 30 years, but that's not what Pee-wee's about.
The secret word is "fun." So aaaagggghhhhh!

Skip to comments.Jon Voight @ RNSC Dinner:"We must bring an end to this false prophet Obama"
Posted on 06/08/2009 9:00:19 PM PDT by jacobny
Actor John Voight, father of actress Angelina Jolie, emceed the dinner and offered a warmly received stinging rebuke of Obama in his opening remarks, rehashing many of the attacks used against the president in the campaign such as his ties to 60s radical Bill Ayers.
Obama as a candidate portrayed himself as a moderate but turned out to be wildly radical, Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.
Voight singled out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, billionaire George Soros, and senior White House aide David Axelrod and their ilk for the downfall of the country.
"Obama is a false prophet" and he only won by "deceiving and misleading Americas youth into voting for the anti-America,we must bring an end to this false prophet Obama",
concluding with the line of FDR, promising a GOP comeback:"Do not tell me it cant get done..."
I couldn't agree with him more although I would add O deceived Adults the same way.
I wasn't politically active then. I only went because my best friend wanted to get his autograph.
No, but Jon Voight was in that episode. He bit Kramer on the arm.
Go Jon, and to think it took an actor to say it like it is..............
Jon Voight: "This False Prophet Obama"
I guess we're gathered here today to talk about ideas, positive inroads we can make to gain back our power, to become triumphant in the next election.
We certainly know that the Democratic party thinks our voices have been silenced. They boast that they're the winners and we have nothing to say.
Well, we certainly know how they won. Obama's path to the presidency has been thoroughly documented. We may want to look at some of those strategies as we build toward the 2010 elections.
Certainly, at the outset, the Democrats fulfilled their mission to paint President Bush as a warmonger. And once they were able to reach all the youth and colleges on the Internet with this lie -- painting him as the evil one, never giving him credit for keeping our country safe -- once they established that, then it would be easy to bring in "The One", as Oprah Winfrey crowned him.
I'm also ashamed to say the Hollywood crowd was a big part of the tearing down of President Bush and they had a great influence in bringing in Obama as well.
Never mind that it was as clear as the nose on your face who Obama was attached to. Nothing seemed to matter. It was amazing to me how the media and the young generation were taken in by Obama's false haloistic [sic] presence and all his attachments to all the wrong people -- Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, Alinsky -- didn't matter one iota.
Obama, as a candidate, portrayed himself as a moderate but turned out to be wildly radical. The way he played his deception was interesting but his campaign was meticulously thought-through, well-organized in their techniques of outreach to gather support and funds through the Internet were innovative, and their Hollywood savvy and use of media was masterful.
All their strategies should be carefully looked at to see if we might mimic them in a positive, legal way.
My most pressing concern at this hour is the safety of Israel.
I think Obama has no idea that Israel was built on the blood and sweat of the Jewish people. Every blade of grass, every tree, has been a successful effort because of the Jewish people understanding they would have a safe homeland forever.
He could not possibly understand this or he would know that the Jewish people have tried time and time again to give the Palestinians land and bring a peaceful solution. But every attempt, every attempt, was returned with violence. The Palestinians used Gaza to attack Israel.
As far as I'm concerned, their only agenda is to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth and he reprimands the Israeli people, Obama, like he's a professor and they're the schoolchildren.
I was embarrassed to watch his press conference with the great war hero, Benjamin Netanyahu, who has helped keep his country safe for many years. Obama sat there with complete arrogance that he is now the new American power, able to dictate what he thinks is best for Israel.
So, how worried are we supposed to be now?
Was I hearing things when he said that Iran might have the right to nuclear power? Are we supposed to be sitting and waiting, watching for the possibility of a new Holocaust? Who's going to take the responsibility to keep America / Israel safe?
I'll tell you why this really scares me because everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.
This so-called stimulus package and his budgets will leave our grandchildren with great burdens and great debts. The government is now owning car companies and banks and we're losing job after job. Our unemployment rate is an astronomic 9.4% and, of course, they send out Joe Biden, one of the great double-talkers of our time, to tell us the unemployment rate is getting better.
The government wants to run health care and tell people what doctors they can see, how much they can make, what cars to drive, and they're killing off the entrepreneurs who are the backbone of our economy.
It's no wonder that the Russian newspaper, Pravda, the former house-organ for the former Soviet communist regime, recently said, "the American descent into Marxism is happening with breath-taking speed."
We can blame Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, George Soros, David Axelrod and their ilk for the downfall of this country.
It saddens me greatly to think we were the great power for good in the world. We, as Americans, knew America to be strong, and we were the liberators of the entire world.
We are becoming a weak nation.
Obama really thinks he is a soft-spoken Julius Ceasar. He thinks he's going to conquer the world with his soft-spoken sweet talk and really thinks he's going to bring all the enemies of the world into a little playground where they'll swing each other back and forth.
We, and we alone, are the right frame of mind to free this nation from this "Obama oppression."
And let's give thanks to all the great people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill OReilly, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, William Bennett, Glenn Beck, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Dennis Miller, Dick Morris, Ann Coulter, John Kasich, Michael Steele, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, Shelby Steele, Charles Krathhauer, Michelle Malkin, Fred Barnes and so many others.
Let's give thanks to them for not giving up and staying the course to bring an end to this false prophet, Obama.
I am beginning to really like this guy, who knows maybe people will take a look at what America has become in the last six months under Obama.
And what many fail to realize there is the ultimate prize of proving he was ineligible to begin with and all of his actions will go up in smoke.
Disappear like a an awakening from a troubling nightmare where you swear its so real you keep trying to prove its not.
I concur with your reply — the way I look at it is sort of like the movie The Wizard Of Oz in reverse: it's all in color with "streets paved with yellow bricks", but when it all fades back to black-and-white (when reality bites everyone — including all those duped NOBama supporters) there will be (as the Bible says) "wailing and grinding of teeth".

Floyd Little was a guest on PFT Live Friday and we've got more of the Hall of Famer's chat with Mike Florio on Friday's edition of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN.
He's not the only iconic Broncos running back on the program, however. Terrell Davis will also be stopping by as we unveil the Broncos Mt. Rushmore. Davis will talk to Erik Kuselias about his ultimately too short and overwhelmingly productive days as a runner for the Broncos and share his thoughts about which members of the organization should have their faces representing the organization.
The Chargers' monument will also be revealed and the whole crew, including Ross Tucker, will have plenty to say about those choices. And we'll have all the latest on Aaron Hernandez and the rest of the news from around the league as we put another week to bed.
It all gets started at 5 p.m. ET on NBCSN.

2. 'Of Course Cisco's A Software Company'
For all its strengths, Cisco isn't considered a software company, and the company has repeatedly acknowledged the need to shift more of its attention to software, business applications and whether Cisco is going to command or be commanded by the software-defined networking (SDN) wave.
This year, Cisco sought to define its SDN strategy, including the debut of its Open Network Environment (ONE), which provides APIs for developers on a few different Cisco operating systems, and a greater emphasis on its ISV and app developer channels overall. But the most interesting move was Insiemi, the secretive SDN startup on which Cisco finally lifted the curtain back in April. Cisco's thus far invested $100 million in the company, which is headed by previous Cisco "spin-in" maestros Mario Mazzola, Prem Jain and Luca Cafiero. While little is known about the company's exact products, Insiemi is rumored to include virtualized networking and storage capabilities that would put Cisco further at odds with EMC, VMware and VMware-owned Nicira.
