If you took a 14-year-old to this," said my nephew, "they wouldn't believe it was ever uncool to like computers. They all want to work for Facebook or design apps." Indeed: defying the high-school-musical tradition, the "losers" triumph not by getting a makeover for the prom but by writing computer code.
Nor is it logical for posters to shout "If you loved Grease . . .", because the point of Grease was that the demure Sandy had to tart herself up and embrace sex to win a happy ending. Whereas here, the heroine, Holly (Eliza Hope Bennett), is a specky she-geek in beige

Interpreters in the United States take home an average $20.11 per hour. Earnings generally vary between $11.05 per hour and $39.92. Geographic location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by years of experience. Female Interpreters make up most of the survey respondents at 70 percent. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. Health benefits are not enjoyed by everyone in this line of work, and just over two-fifths lack any coverage at all. Medical benefits are reported by a little more than half and dental coverage is claimed by over a third. The data for this snapshot was collected from individuals who took PayScale's salary survey.

An interpreter's main duties are to translate information from one language to another and vice-versa. An associate's or bachelor's degree may be required for this position, though not necessarily. All interpreter/translator positions within the country require that the person be a legal citizen of the United States of America, and most positions also require that applicants have their own reliable method of transportation to get to work.Read More...
Some companies may require interpreters to work with other interpreters and double-check the work they have submitted to the company. In some cases, prior training is preferred, but not a strict requirement. Interpreters must also be able to translate texts and speak on behalf of a representative of a specific company or client.
Those in this position are responsible for ensuring that everyone is able to understand everyone else clearly and regardless of the language barrier. Depending on the employer, the work environment can vary, though it is usually an indoor office setting. Hours can vary depending on the company's needs; some companies may prefer interpreters to work full 40-hour work weeks, while others may employ them for ten or twenty hours per week.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
As Interpreters transition into upper-level roles like Sign Language Interpreters, it's possible that they won't see a change in salary. Sign Language Interpreters earn the same amount as Interpreters on average. It is not uncommon for an Interpreter to continue on to become a Translator or a Spanish Interpreter and Translator.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Interpreters, more experience in the field does not usually mean bigger paychecks. The average beginner in this position makes around $40K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $45K. Interpreters who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $50K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $54K.

Caracas, Venezuela

Athens, Greece
By Yannis Behrakis
Marialena's tears ran down her face onto the dirty mattress where she and her boyfriend Dimitrios have been sleeping day in, day out, for over a year, under a bridge in one of Athens' most run-down neighborhoods.
Athens based photographer Yannis Behrakis spent several weeks documenting the unemployed and homeless in Greece as the economic downturn starts to impact the homeless numbers. Read Yannis' personal account here.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
By Ricardo Moraes
It was Palm Sunday in Rio's cathedral when I found them in a small group wearing their simple, traditional robes, with short hair and beards, praying, concentrating, amidst hundreds of other Catholics. I'm talking about the Franciscans, young followers of Saint Francis of Assisi who on some occasions I had seen roaming the city, almost invisible, helping Rio's poor.
Sao Paulo, Brazil
By Nacho Doce
It was close to midnight on Sunday night, the hour at which 1,200 families planned to occupy 11 vacant buildings in downtown Sao Paulo. Their mission was to improve their own living conditions by occupying and squatting in the buildings long enough to make their eviction a long, drawn-out legal process, and in the meantime, go on with their daily lives.
Karachi, Pakistan
By Akhtar Soomro
Arriving for my trip to Edhi Home, I met an elderly man working as a driver sitting outside the building. He assisted me in entering the building and introduced me to the lady in charge. She welcomed me and let me in by crossing an iron grill gate separating this place from the outer world.

On her second day of camping near the coast north of Los Angeles, Benita Guzman lit a match, threw it on a pile of logs, and poured gasoline on top. As flames engulfed her hand and foot, her niece, Angelica Cervantes, rushed to throw sand over her. Benita thrust her burning hand into a pile of mud, and took a deep breath.
The soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door;
On her divine majority
Obtrude no more.

Lilly Earp changes the diaper on her 5-week-old baby sister Emily with the confidence another child would have cradling a doll. She's only 8, but she already shows the street smarts of an older child as she helps her mother. It helps to be resourceful when you're homeless.

HOLYOKE - Patrolman Deborah C. Clement, a 17-year veteran of the Police Department, died unexpectedly at home this morning, according to Police Chief Anthony R. Scott.
She was 46 years old.
Scott said that neither foul play nor suicide were suspected.
"We just don't know what is the exact cause (of death)," said Scott, explaining that Clement was getting ready to go on duty when she died.
He said that Clement served the city well during her career here, and had been assigned to the department's narcotics-vice division.
"She was an asset to this department and to the citizens of Holyoke, whom she served with distinction for 17 years," Scott stated.
Former Mayor Martin J. Dunn appointed Clement a reserve policewoman on June 6, 1988. He named her a full-time officer on March 11, 1990.
Chief Scott said that the calling hours will be on Monday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Barry J. Farrell Funeral Home.
The funeral will be conducted there at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Great Apartment. I didn`t see Denise when I stay at her Apartment, but Glen was everytime available. I found the envirometn not so nice, but I didn`t have any problemes there.
we had the most incredible stay with Denise and her friend Glen. The minute we'd entered the appartement, we felt at home. Denise is a very open person and she really shares her home with the guests. Glen is always there to help, too. It is like having a family to rely on, in case you need it. The appartement / kitchen / bathroom are very clean and neat and cosy. I can recommend a stay anytime!
Thank you Denise for letting us stay at your home sharing it with us and for having so much fun with you and Glen. Felt as if I've known you guys for a long time. Hope to see you both again? Maybe next time in Germany????
I had a splendid time spending my time in DC at Denise's. Staying at her place made my stay in DC so much better than any hotel could have done so. I got a real taste of living in America and I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
The house is nice and clean and the kitchen is superb! Bus stops are around the corner and you're at a metro station within 15 minutes to go the National Mall (which will take you another additional 15 minutes). The neighbourhood is quiet and looks lovely.
If I'm visiting DC again, I would go here again in a heart beat. Thanks for the lovely stay!
My stay at this wimdu location was very nice. I can recommend it to people who appreciate a stay in a lively suburb of Washington DC where they can experience more from daily life than only the City. My stay was wonderful, which I owe for a big part to my wonderful host!

SK eatery offers tasty alternative to holiday excess
Leaping from the sky like a parachute jumper from an airplane, the gentle, fat and jolly snowflakes drifted unhurriedly to the wet pavement, landing in a wet mass to cavort with their brethren and watch breathlessly (Do you know a snowflake who can breathe?) as their fellows tumbled down upon them, gaining speed and force, adhering to cars and jackets, coats and shoe tops.
At once beautiful and graceful in their ornate decoration of luscious fir trees and a nuisance underfoot, they didnt deter the travelers headed for one destination The Moon Dog Too.
Marching in singularly or by twos, the patrons stomp in, shaking the fat, wet hangers-on from their shoulders and hats, determined to enjoy a little camaraderie and a lot of wonderful food.
This day, Christmas Day, the Moon Dog Too staff offered a $1 Christmas meal, complete with turkey and ham, mashed potatoes and stuffing, corn on the cob and fresh, homemade apple and pumpkin pie.
The question you might ask is, why I was there, joining them on Christmas Day and the answer is probably more complex than it needs to be.
You see, I have grown weary of Christmas, all the hype and no delivery, the promise and no payoff, the lights, the decorations, the relentless consumerism, the waste, all the burdensome necessity of insuring that everyone else gets what they want or need for Christmas, as if you havent adequately thanked them or loved them enough for the rest of the year.
Like a soldier on a hundred mile march through the snow, I have grown cold and weary to Christmas and everything this joyless holiday represents.
Anyway, I told my daughter, there are foreclosures occurring across the country and 25% more people seeking help from food banks.
We have a war raging in a foreign country, where our citizens are dying every day, how can you expect me to be as frivolous and wasteful as Christmas in America demands?
She replied that my excuses for not wanting to celebrate Christmas grow more elaborate every year and were just that excuses.
Think of the cheerleaders, she said, they know how to celebrate Christmas like normal people.
Ah, the cheerleaders my sisters family of three cute, bubbly, bouncy, ever-so-energetic and popular cheerleaders.
Christmas for them is one of endless presents and parties with no time to breathe in between, a seemingly unsustainable whirlwind of dates, outings and festivities that dont end until all the gift cards and Christmas money has been spent.
Christmas for the cheerleaders is never one of disappointment, which is what it has always been for me one giant, colossal disappointment.
Ah, leave it to cheerleaders to make you feel inadequate.
So, there I sat in Christmas mass on Christmas morning, after having called the cheerleaders to wish them well (although, they hardly needed my wishes), feeling that my efforts to renounce the worldly and wasteful aspects of Christmas had backfired. I, by nature, drawn to the simple and austere, may have gone too far. There was no Christmas ham, Christmas cookies, tree, lights, eggnog, visitors, and even presents.
Oh, Lord, I wondered, what had I done or not done? Nothing was even open at noon on Christmas Day. I couldnt even buy a Christmas ham.
Then I remembered the sign in downtown Port Orchard, that Moon Dog Too was offering Christmas dinners for a dollar. Who said there arent Christmas miracles?
So, I drove 20 miles an hour through the snow tunnels created by all the white-capped trees, feeling like the adventure was part of the magic and found myself welcomed by the warmth and hospitality of the crew at Moon Dogs.
It had an old-fashioned medieval kind of feel, as if I were a weary wanderer stumbling upon a warm and inviting inn.
There awaited a feast for a king with all proceeds going to benefit Helpline.
I could even bring back dinners for the family. What could be more perfect?
Top this, cheerleaders.
The brainchild of new owner (since April), Darryl Baldwin, the community dinners for $1, is a way for the bar and grill to serve the community, those who toil and struggle every day.
We have so many people who come in here and share their stories of struggle. So many people, so much heartache and stress, so much struggle and hope. We wanted to be able to brighten their day and lift their spirits.
And so, they did. With food homemade by staff and served by caring customer and Helpline volunteers.
I have this amazing crew of people who work for me, Baldwin said. I have never advertised, but the right person always comes forward and together we have assembled this great team, this amazing team. Having been part of the service industry for years, many of them have struggled and have been graced by help from the food bank. It was their idea that we donate the money to Helpline.
Over $300 was donated from the Thanksgiving feast, and another $210 or so will be donated from the Christmas meal.
Seventy-five percent of the people we served, we figured, were retired people or others on fixed incomes, Baldwin said. The other 25 percent or so were people who just wanted to come by and share a meal and donate. Some people just wandered in, in disbelief, surprised that we would offer such a meal for a dollar. But I do like to surprise people.
The biggest surprise may lie in the way he is operating the bar and grill, turning it into a place that openly cares for its clientele, a place that offers theme dinners and even limousine service on New Years Eve, to keep our customers safe from drunk drivers.
After 30 years running manufacturing plants and making other people very rich, Darryl, originally from L.A., has a business that is the living embodiment of three key principles to provide great food, excellent customer service and fine entertainment by a team that operates as a family.
While the business is not necessarily family-friendly its still a bar, mind you its a friendly, caring place that offers more than the ubiquitous sports and live music, including, daily games of Buds Time Trivia, where we educate Port Orchard, one person at a time, and periodic theme dinners, which take people on journeys back in time.
Coordinated with local brew masters and capped at 20 people or 10 couples, the theme dinners feature five courses and lessons in the history and culture of a particular time period.
The food is so endless and so filling, that there really isnt room for the beer, Baldwin said, although we do occasionally have the brewmasters come and enchant us with their stories.
Several theme dinners are set for this coming year: an Irish New Years party with the band, the Whistling Oysters offering their sea shanties, Irish jigs and slightly inappropriate lyrics; a Jan. 17, southern-style meal in honor of Martin Luther King, complete with crawdads, fried catfish, southern-fried chicken and more; and a delectably decadent Valentines Day feast of lush foods with beers from the Lazy Boy Brewery.
These theme dinners averaging $50 a person help subsidize the community dollar-a-meal dinners.
Its all great fun, Baldwin said. A gift from my place to you.
Mary Colborn is a Port Orchard resident.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) "Give America a Raise." That's the message from one group touring by bus in hopes of raising the minimum wage in New York and across the country.
The group says while the federal minimum wage has stayed the same since 2009, the price of food, gas and utilities has not.
New York's minimum wage is set to go up to nine dollars in 2016, but Citizen Action of New York says people shouldn't have to wait that long. The organization was among those who called on Congressman Richard Hanna at his Binghamton office Wednesday to support President Obama's proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
"We need Congressman Hanna to support an increase in the minimum wage so that people can have the dignity of working 40 hours a week and still being able to make ends meet and feed their family," said Mary Clark of Citizen Action.
Prior to making a stop in Binghamton Wednesday afternoon, those on the tour bus made a trip to Corning, to ask Congressman Tom Reed to support the President's plan as well.

The abs are back in the new '300: Rise of an Empire' poster
The first poster for "300: Rise of an Empire" has been released, with all those well-chiseled ab muscles intact.
"Rise" is the anticipated prequel to "Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder's 2006 adaptation of Frank Miller's stylized comic book, "300."
Snyder is just producing and co-writing this time around, with Noam Murro ("Smart People") directing a mantastic cast led by Sullivan Stapleton ("Animal Kingdom"), Callan Mulvey, Jack O'Connell ("Skins") and the film's sole "300" vet, Rodrigo Santoro.
Snyder Tweeted the image, saying "Here's the first poster for #300movie: Rise of an Empire! Seize your Glory!"
A masked Spartan stands ready for battle in the rain-soaked image, although it's impossible to tell who the figure is.
Check out the poster here:
"Rise of An Empire" chronicles the rise of Persian emperor Xerxes, who led the attack on the Spartans at Thermopylae in the first film. It also features some female eye candy as well, with Eva Green and Lena Heady leading the charge in the XX chromosome department.
"300: Rise of An Empire" opens August 2.

Few NBA teams, if any, have been more active during the offseason than the Detroit Pistons.
The moves started at the top for the Pistons, who hired Stan Van Gundy to be the face of the franchise as the team president and head coach.
Van Gundy has been busy since signing a five-year contract worth $35 million.
The Pistons signed Jodie Meeks, D.J. Augustin, Caron Butler, Aaron Gray and Cartier Martin as free agents; the selected Spencer Dinwidde in the second round of the NBA Draft; they declined to pick up contracts belonging to Chauncey Billups, Josh Harrellson and Peyton Siva's contacts; and they also parted ways with Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva.
Off the court, Van Gundy hired Jeff Bower to be the club's general manager and added assistant coaches Brendan Malone, Bob Beyer and Charles Klask.
Yes, it's been a busy summer for Van Gundy & Co. And it's not over yet as they still have to deal with restricted free agent Greg Monroe, who has yet to sign an offer sheet or qualifying offer from the Pistons.
But based on what the Pistons have done so far, CBSSports.com gives them a B+ for their off-season activity.
"The big win of the offseason for the Pistons was hiring Van Gundy," wrote Zach Harper. "It will be difficult for him to do both roles but he's building a staff on the court and in the front office that will help him balance the two.
"Not having Monroe's restricted free agency figured out yet is a little troubling, but he's unlikely to find a big offer anywhere at this point. Monroe can choose to work something out long term with the Pistons at probably less than he thought he would get or he can sign the one-year qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent in 2015.
"Some of the money being thrown around at the signings of Meeks, Butler and Augustin can be justified but it's also fair to question. The Pistons filled a need with 3-point shooting, adding a couple of really good shooters to the mix. Butler's money seems too high for his age and production, but only the first season is fully guaranteed. The Pistons are starting to head in a direction with their athletic big man, likely his big counterpart in Monroe, and a point guard Van Gundy will have to find a way to get through to in Jennings.
"He can turn this into a great experience."
How would you grade the Pistons' off-season moves?

Because We Love A Snarky Headline

This blog is still alive, just in semi-hibernation.
When I want to write something longer than a tweet about something other than math or sci-fi, here is where I'll write it.
Matty, I think they chose the name XE because of the Element Xenon which is a "colorless, odorless, tasteless gas". Blackwater is trying to become invisible. I like the tastless part... they are certainly that.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- On a balmy Baldwinsville day in 1997, Jason Grilli received the telephone call that was going to set him on the smooth road to baseball fame and baseball glory that he'd imagined for a good, long while.
The San Francisco Giants were on the other end with word that they'd just chosen him with the fourth overall pick in the annual MLB draft and that they'd envisioned that he, Jason, could be on the mound . . . starting for them . . . on Opening Day when their magnificent new bayside ballpark would open -- yeah, with Barry Bonds out there in right field -- three years later.
Oh, it was all heady stuff back on that afternoon in Baldwinsville when the kid out of Baker High, then pitching for Seton Hall, took that call that would lead to millions of dollars and truckloads of memories.
But then . . .
"You know," Jason has said, "I never thought my career would take the path it did."
He would play in 12 leagues for 18 teams, and get hurt (and never suit up) for yet another organization, Cleveland. He would be rendered a free agent three times, traded twice, released twice, purchased once and chosen once in that thing called the Rule-5 Draft. He would start, close, set up and mop up.
There would be Tommy John surgery, quad/kneecap reconstruction, a bulging disc in his back, a strained elbow, bone spur removal and other "lesser" physical challenges.
There would be all those boos in Detroit.
That career of Jason Grilli's dreams? Except for this blip and that splash (which would include, certainly, toeing the rubber for the Tigers in the 2006 World Series), it never did really develop.
Except that, with spring training having begun down there in Bradenton, Fla., where the Pittsburgh Pirates have begun working towards this season of anticipated contention in the National League Central . . . well, it has.
Jason Grilli -- no longer that kid from Baldwinsville, but now 36 and married and a father -- is the closer for the Pirates and in possession of a recently-signed two-year contract that will pay him $2.75 million this year and $4 million in 2014. He's coming off back-to-back campaigns in Pittsburgh during which he authored ERAs of 2.43 ('11) and 2.76 ('12) and became a legitimate candidate to make the league's All-Star team. He has a life-sized banner of himself hanging outside what could be the coolest spot in all of baseball, PNC Park, gorgeous and plunked downtown by the Allegheny River.
Remarkable? Of course, it's remarkable. But beyond that, this career curve as fashioned by Jason Grilli has been a testimony to work, to grit, to old-fashioned stubbornness. And do not think for a moment that the Pirates -- who were 44-20 last season when Grilli pitched and 35-63 when he didn't -- aren't grateful that he simply would not go away.
Because he didn't. He wouldn't. And now look at him. Now look at him, having arrived.
"It's just not what I envisioned," Jason once said. "I thought I was going to be a big deal somewhere."
The words were offered not so long ago, with a bit of melancholy but not despair, when he was in that one last valley in 2011 and about to toil (again) in the International League. But read them now, and nod.
He is, you see, about to get the ball in the ninth inning in the big leagues. This, for a team with aspirations. Jason Grilli has become a big deal.

MUSKEGON, MI – A national anti-abortion group based in Kansas is claiming it had a hand in getting an abortion clinic in Muskegon closed.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, told MLive and the Muskegon Chronicle on Friday that a member of his staff alerted authorities of his group's alleged concerns about Women's Medical Services. However, no one from Muskegon law enforcement has referenced the group's input in the closing of the facility.
Muskegon police, who are currently investigating a reported breaking and entering at the building, issued a press release stating that a phone call from the owner of the building regarding a possible break-in leading to police response. Jeffrey Lewis, Muskegon's director of public safety, said that Muskegon police officers noticed the alleged violations when they responded to the facility on an unrelated service call.
RELATED: Muskegon abortion clinic shut down by city building, fire inspectors
The report of a possible break in came at 9:41 a.m. Wednesday.
"The responding officers found a broken-out rear window at the site and began a crime-scene search," police said in a statement. "There was no other apparent evidence of a larceny inside, but the officers noted several suspected building- and health-code violations and called for the assistance of the building inspectors and the fire marshal."
Police are continuing to investigate how the rear window was broken.
Lewis said nine potential violations were identified. Not willing to provide a list of those violations until the clinic's owner is reached, Lewis said they were "basic code violations," including a leak in the roof.
The clinic was closed by an order, dated Dec. 26, of the city of Muskegon's Fire Prevention Bureau. According to Muskegon law enforcement, nobody can occupy the Women's Medical Services clinic at 863 E. Apple Ave. and no services can be rendered there until the alleged violations have been brought up to code or the owner replies with a "reasonable explanation."
Operation Rescue claims to be one of the leading "pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation" and highlights the mission to close down abortion clinics.
"I know when an abortion clinic closes, babies live," Newman said.
According to the clinic's website, Women's Medical Services is an abortion clinic that provides abortion services, counseling and emergency contraception. It was founded in 1964 as the Seaway Medical Clinic.
Police are continuing to investigate how the rear window was broken.
People with information relating to this incident are asked to call the Muskegon Police Department at (231) 724-6750 or Silent Observer at (231) 722-7463.

BATON ROUGE -- In addition to costing Louisiana a congressional seat and forcing a major redrawing of political districts, state population losses and shifts recorded by the 2010 census also will require adjustments to about 600 laws that were written based on the number of people in certain towns and parishes.
The changes are needed in sections of law that deal with how revenues are collected; who is exempt from local taxes and when; how bridges, ferries and housing authorities are managed; how cities deal with blight; and more than 30 other subjects.
Most of the changes are minor and are focused on the state's three largest areas, East Baton Rouge, Jefferson and Orleans parishes, said Mary Quaid, director of House Legislative Services, the research and bill-drafting arm of the House.
The changes will be dealt with at the special lawmaking session that opens Sunday at 5 p.m. The session will primarily focus on redrawing the political boundaries of the Legislature, Congress, state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, some appellate courts and the Public Service Commission.
Based on research going back to the 1970 census, Quaid said about 600 sections of existing law were deemed ripe for adjusting based on population shifts.
About 300 of them are staff-generated recommendations that are largely technical, while another 300 "policy items" will be up to lawmakers to hash out in the April 25 regular session or beyond, such as the salaries of assessors and other local officials who are paid based on parish populations and the applicability of portions of the ethics laws and reporting requirements.
The proposed changes will be contained in 35 bills, each one amending several statutes in the specific area of the law known as titles. Some bills will contain one or two changes, others dozens.
New Orleans officials count 171 parts of the law dealing with the city's population that will have to be addressed because of its shrinking population, while Jefferson Parish officials said they count "50 to 100" that affect the parish.
The rest apply to East Rouge and a smattering of other parishes, Quaid said.
The House tentatively will begin hearing its 18 cleanup bills Monday; Senate officials have not set hearing dates on their 17 bills.
Reacting to new realities
In order to tailor a law for a specific location, like New Orleans, a statute might be written to apply only to a city or parish of more than 450,000 people. That changes when populations shift.
Orleans Parish's population was 593,471 in the 1970 census and 484,674 in 2000 and is down to 343,829 now. Jefferson Parish has seen its population grow from 338,229 in the 1970 census to 455,466 in 2000 before sliding to 432,552 in 2010.
Senate Chief of Staff Jerry Guillot said the longest bill -- the "big mother" of the session -- is one dealing with changes to Title 33, which regulates how local governments can function, including raising, collecting and granting exemptions to revenues.
The bills will show what topic in the law is being addressed, what the existing law is now, which areas are affected and which areas would be included in the new law.
"Bills will be introduced with the goal of maintaining the status quo of the last decade," said Quaid, the House's point person on the project. "Great care has been given to ensure that the locale for which a particular law was originally intended remains under the purview of that law."
House Clerk Alfred "Butch" Speer said the bills will allow cities and parishes that were covered by the law and but no longer qualify by population to be included if officials from that area want it.
Legislative officials have decided that cities and parishes that want to capitalize on laws that never applied to them before but now apply to them because of a shift in population will have to file a separate local bill after advertising it in advance of the April regular session or in future years.
Ditching numbers for names
The easiest fixes to the laws, Guillot said, will be a simple substitution of "numbers for places" in the law, taking out a population category and writing in the name of the parish or city that it has applied to in the past.
For example, lawmakers, based on the 1980 census, gave city officials in towns of 450,000 or greater population the authority to order municipal law violators released from jail without bond.
That law will be changed to apply just to New Orleans, even though the 2010 census has the city far below the required population level. "In that case, we just plug in the name," Quaid said.
A trickier situation, she said, would be an existing law that was crafted for St. Charles Parish based on the definition of "a parish with (a) population of 45,000 to 48,250" based on the 2000 census.
The current law authorizes parish officials to grant exemptions from local sales taxes when the state has sales "tax holidays," usually in time for back-to-school shopping. Quaid said although the population of St. Charles is now almost 52,800, it will be included in the law. But other parishes now also fall in the original population range: St. John the Baptist Parish with a population of 45,924 and Lincoln Parish with a population of 46,735.
Quaid said they will not be included in the law automatically, although legislators from those areas can sponsor bills to have the two parishes covered.
In a few cases where Orleans, East Baton Rouge and Jefferson parishes have passed into and out of the same laws for years, Quaid said legislative staff, officials of the parishes and lawmakers from those areas have agreed which ones to include or exclude in some of the laws to be retooled as a way of streamlining the work at the session.

Multicast communication?s history has been driven by many schemes; however, a few have shown their efficiency on interconnection networks. Among these schemes, path based multicast has been proven to be more efficient in handling multicast, than those classified either as unicast based or tree-based schemes. This paper, therefore, focuses on path based scheme, examining some well-known path-based algorithms. Many experiments have been conducted to evaluate these algorithms in various operating scenarios and traffic conditions. The relative strengths, weaknesses and applicability of each algorithm to diverse situations are discussed. Our results have shown the superiority of our proposed QG algorithms against some of the well know multicast algorithms.

WEST SPRINGFIELD – Fried Girl Scout Samoas cookies anyone? How about a fried Fluffernutter? Or fried Oreos?
The Eastern States Exposition – also known as the Big E – brings the notion of fried food to another level. It seems that almost everything imaginable can be found in fried form at the fair, which runs through Sept. 30.
Sure there's the regular fried fare – French fries, fried dough, corn dogs, even fried vegetables.
But there are also plenty of items that frankly seem like odd choices to dip in a deep fryer – Snickers bars, cheesecake, Girl Scout Samoas, key lime pie, Oreos, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Twinkies.
Some of the purchases are clearly driven by curiosity, but all fairgoers interviewed about their unusual fried food purchase said they were pleasantly surprised by the taste.
"It's an Oreo and fried dough combined. What's not to like?" Kayla Nerone, of Bristol, R.I., said about the fried Oreos Saturday.
Concession stands abounded featuring fried treats.
Over at the Food Court, at The Coffee Break, there are all sorts of fried delicacies on the menu.
Anthony C. Martone, of The Coffee Break, said he started frying unique items at fairs three years ago, and it took off from there. He sells the fried Snickers, fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches known as the "Elvis," fried peanut butter and Fluff, fried brownie bites, fried cookie dough, and, new this year, fried Girl Scout Samoas cookies.
He thinks people like the fried items because they can't make them at home.
The key to a good fried dish is the batter, he said.
"It's the most important thing in frying. It's all about the batter," Martone said.
Every year they try to do something different. Hence the deep fried Girl Scout cookies. The Big E came up with the idea, in honor of the Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary, he said. The Samoas are vanilla cookies coated in caramel, sprinkled with toasted coconut, laced with chocolate stripes and fried to perfection.
Martone said the fried cookie dough and Samoas sell the best, followed by the Snickers bars.
Jessica L. Rodriguez, of South Windsor, Conn., sampled a fried Snickers.
"My friend tried it last week so I wanted to come and try it," Rodriguez explained.
Brett S. Cohen and Shawn F. Sherry, both of Chicopee, tried the fried Samoas and fried peanut butter and Fluff.
"I thought I'd try something new," Cohen said, as he tasted the Fluffernutter. "There's something about deep fried marshmallow that's delicious."
"It's wicked good, right?" Cohen said to Sherry.
Sherry said it was better than the Samoas.
Over at Chicken Express, also at the Food Court, the new deep-fried lasagna made its debut.
"It is amazing," Melissa R. Walters, of Windsor Locks, said.
She said a friend of hers posted something about the dish on Facebook and she knew she had to try it.
Steven J. Jankiewicz, vice president of Chicken Express, said the idea for the fried lasagna was hatched with the help of the Big E's marketing department.
"It is new this year . . . It's not as greasy as most people would think," Jankiewicz said.
Over at the "Fresh Fried Vegetables by Dr. Vegetable" stand were Mead Close and Wendy Bahner, of Clinton, Conn. They just finished fried pickles. A friend recommended them. Bahner said they were good, and a treat, as they try not to eat fried foods at home.
In another area was Shannon T. Fleury, of Agawam, who bit into a slice of fried key lime pie.
"I like it," said Fleury, who said she also wanted to try the fried Samoas.
Dave Rancourt, of Palmer, had something more traditional – fried dough.
"I've got to start somewhere. I have an agenda," Rancourt revealed.
"It's this, either a sausage grinder or Philly cheese steak, a Maine baked potato. I'm here for the food," Rancourt said.

WEST SPRINGFIELD – Fried Girl Scout Samoas cookies anyone? How about a fried Fluffernutter? Or fried Oreos?

Doris Grandpre knows exactly who gutted her 7th Ward house last year, then helped her start rebuilding the single shotgun where she lived for three decades before Hurricane Katrina.
"There was David. You got Christopher. Then there was Jason. Oh, and Simon," Grandpre, 76, said this week, recalling the student volunteers who came from Boston and Seattle to tear out her plaster walls and save the few precious items the flood did not destroy.
"I call them my little angels," she said.
It appears, however, that another crew has taken credit for demolition work at Grandpre's house. City records show that Hall & Hall Enterprises, the highest-paid contractor in Mayor Ray Nagin's home remediation program, billed the city $7,830 for gutting and boarding up the house and cutting the grass at the St. Anthony Street property.
The house is one of at least seven addresses that appear on two lists detailing post-storm remediation. One list belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana's Office of Disaster Response, which organized volunteers from across the country to come to New Orleans and provide free home remediation services, such as gutting and boarding up homes, to residents in need of help.
Those same addresses appear on a list produced by the nonprofit New Orleans Affordable Homeownership Corp., which oversaw a remediation program that contractors billed a total of $1.8 million.
The homeownership corporation, also known as NOAH, billed taxpayers more than $25,000 for work at those addresses.
Grandpre, a retired nursing aide at Charity Hospital, said Wednesday that she has no idea how her address got on NOAH's gutting list. Since January 2007, she has lived in a Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer in her side yard, and no city contractor has ever stopped by.
"A group of kids took the stuff out," she said. "The only people who helped me was people from outside the city."
Operations shut down
The duplicate entries on the NOAH and church lists raise more questions about the management of a short-lived city program designed to help elderly and poor residents along the road to recovery. A city official said last week that, to his knowledge, NOAH had paid out all of the $1.8 million to its subcontractors.
In light of the scrutiny, NOAH's board of directors suspended the organization's business last week and served notice Wednesday that its remaining four employees will be terminated Friday as of 5 p.m. Officials declined to name the employees or disclose their salaries. NOAH's former executive director, Stacey Jackson, resigned in June.
Also on Wednesday, the NOAH board asked the New Orleans Finance Authority to put into escrow federal funds that were to have been funneled to NOAH for use as soft-second mortgages for low-income homeowners.
NOAH board member Bob Brown said that in light of the recent controversy, "it would be wise for us not to have those funds flowing through and checks flying around."
"Everything about NOAH is so messed up and the evidence of misbehavior is so clear that even if there was something going on that in the end would be considered to be legal and appropriate, it just makes no sense for us to do any of it until the authorities have had a chance to sort everything out and make some determinations about it," Brown said.
Woman recalls volunteers
The shutdown of the agency comes as the FBI and the inspector general of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, which authorized grants that financed the gutting program, have launched their own investigations. The city official who oversaw the program has acknowledged that City Hall improperly used the federal money and may have to pay back more than $223,000.
Meanwhile, Jackson, the former executive director, has been linked through business and personal connections to several contractors who worked for the program, including Richard Hall, whose firm billed for $345,000 worth of work, including gutting and boarding up Grandpre's house.
Another house, on Forshey Street near the Monticello Canal, fits the same pattern. Records provided by the Episcopal Diocese program show that volunteers from Texas arrived in October 2006 and tore drywall, tile and floorboards out of the house, which took on 7 feet of water in Katrina. The volunteers even managed to save a few heirlooms.
Ann Brown, whose brother owns the property, said she remembers the volunteers.
"I talked with someone from the church group who was there," said Brown, who lives a block away and keeps an eye on the lot. "I met them. I talked to them personally."
However, three separate NOAH contractors, including a firm owned by Nagin's brother-in-law, have billed City Hall a combined $5,115 to gut, board up and cut grass at the Forshey Street house.
Myers & Sons claimed it had done $4,415 worth of work at the lot, while Iron Triangle and Smith & Associates Consulting have billed $350 apiece. Smith & Associates is owned by Cedric Smith, whose sister is Nagin's wife, Seletha.
Five other properties, from Lakeview to Gentilly to the Lower 9th Ward, also appear on both lists.
Amanda Davis, homeowner coordinator for the Episcopal Diocese disaster response office, could not immediately provide the forms that volunteers are asked to fill out on job sites.
She said that because volunteers arrive every week from all over the country, forms often don't get filled out. She also noted that her organization's list generally reflects when volunteers visit sites and find the work already completed. No such notations were made for the addresses also on the NOAH list, she said.
Other groups that have provided free gutting services declined to share with The Times-Picayune the addresses to which they sent volunteers. The nonprofit Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now Inc., also known as ACORN, cited privacy concerns. A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of New Orleans cited a federal law that protects medical patients' rights and said it bars the release of such information.
Program 'seemed silly'
Davis said that while she was not aware of the duplications on the Episcopal Diocese's and NOAH's lists before this week, she long had harbored suspicions about the city's remediation program.
Touted as a centerpiece of Nagin's 2007 budget, the mayor said in late 2006 that he wanted the city to offer gutting services because faith-based and grass-roots groups providing such services had become overwhelmed.
That theory, Davis said, raised eyebrows in the tight-knit community of disaster recovery organizers.
"The idea of this program always seemed silly to us, because we have hundreds of volunteers each month," she said. "There's no reason to hire professional demolition crews to gut houses for old people."
Indeed, as the community nonprofit groups prepared in the spring and summer last year to receive thousands of unskilled volunteers, they were at a loss for properties. Several, including ACORN, a Catholic church group and the Episcopal Diocese program, solicited NOAH officials for some of their addresses, city officials have said.
"It was always kind of funny, though," Davis said. "We knew at the time that something weird was going on. They wouldn't e-mail the lists. You had to drive by City Hall and pick it up from somebody."
In the end, two lists that NOAH gave to the Episcopal Diocese in July and August included a pair of addresses for which NOAH ultimately billed the city a total of $3,730. Davis said that when her volunteers arrived at those houses, they already had been remediated.
The prospect that NOAH contractors billed the city for even a few houses that were gutted by volunteers is "offensive," said Emily Danielson, who as an employee of the Episcopal Diocese helped a group of high school students from Boston gut Grandpre's house.
The job, she said, was hard. Because wrought-iron fencing wraps around the small front porch, they could not use a wheelbarrow to haul rotten wall, ceiling and floor material to the curb.
"We actually ended up doing a bucket line," she said. "They were plaster walls. Physically, it was absolutely exhausting."
More striking, though, is the notion that City Hall vendors could be paid for work that they never did.
"It's atrocious that they would take credit for this, then financially make taxpayers responsible," Danielson said. "Miss Doris is paying taxes. The city is using her tax money for something that they didn't even do. It's unbelievable."

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) Binghamton City Council continues to try to slim down the city's 2014 proposed budget.
City council met with the parks, engineering and parking departments Wednesday night in attempt to finalize the $88.6 million budget for the city.
The proposed budget doesn't cut any jobs, but adds ten new positions to the city, including three police officers and two new firefighters.
Council members said they are close to approving the budget, but there are some loose ends that need to be tied, like a request from the fire department.
"They'd like a new fire truck, which is allocating $800,000 in funding and it's quite a lump sum," said Councilman John Matzo (R). "It all depends on if we can get part of the money from the mayor's budget. I'd be willing to go halves if he went halves on the fire truck."
City council and Johnson City Trustees approved the more than $11.2 million budget for the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Board Wednesday night. Their 2014 budget is 32 percent lower than last year.
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment will review final requests to modify the proposed 2014 budget Monday morning.

98(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2008
(bottled late, in November of 2007) Saturated red-ruby. Explosive aromas of plum, raspberry, bitter chocolate, coffee, almond paste and smoke; this smells voluptuous. Then extraordinarily opulent on the palate, with an almost marzipan-like ripeness. Coats every square millimeter of the mouth with a texture of liquid silk. The baby fat here is incredible, but there's a structure of steel and powerful minerality underneath. One of the longest samples I tasted in Bordeaux this spring, and a wine with uncanny finishing sweetness. This fabulous vintage of Margaux should evolve positively in bottle for three or four decades in a cold cellar.
