Protecting your income (Newly Qualified and Hospital Doctor)
Sick Pay from the NHS
When you first start work as a doctor in the UK, you join the NHS sick pay scheme. You hope that you will be well protected should you become ill, in reality, within the first 5 years of work, the benefits are very, very poor and you are extremely vulnerable to financial hardship should you be ill for any length of time. As you can see from the table below, the NHS sick pay provision allows for you to receive full pay for varying periods of sickness dependent on service. At the end of this time, all payments will cease. It is important therefore, that any income replacement contract fits in with your existing provision. The maximum NHS benefit will pay for 12 months of sick leave, 6 months of which will only be at half pay.

Income protection for doctors
As a medical professional you are likely to earn several million pounds throughout your career and it is essential to consider what might happen should you be unable to practice for a prolonged period of time.
Irrespective of the stage of your career, a long term illness or loss of earnings can have a serious affect on your financial wellbeing. We use our specialist knowledge of the pay structure and benefits packages for NHS employees to tailor income protection cover to the specific needs of doctors. Our advisers have been providing specialist, independent income protection advice to medical professionals since 1996.
Income Protection also known as Permanent Health Insurance (PHI) provides you with a long term regular tax-free income if you become ill or disabled and unable to carry out your usual occupation following a serious accident or prolonged illness.
Benefits are paid tax-free for as long as you are certified as being unable to carry out your SPECIFIC occupation. This could be until you recover and start work again or up to the age you have chosen from the options available, normally to match your planned retirement or upon death if earlier.
Income protection is designed to replace salary, so insurers take into consideration any income you would continue to receive from work and offer a choice of deferred periods,(the time before they would pay benefit). The maximum you can insure for is approximately 65% of gross income and any other income that you may receive. The benefits under the plan will not replace the millions of pounds career earnings that you would receive if you were working but would provide you with enough to pay your bills and maintain a reasonable standard of living whilst incapacitated.
In the event of a long term illness you need an income protection plan specific to your occupation as a doctor or surgeon and one which knits in with the sick pay benefits you receive from the NHS. Due to the sliding scale of entitlement of doctors sick pay, a fixed deferred period is not appropriate during your first five years of work in the NHS.
There are a number of companies specialising in offering protection in this area, both the amounts and criteria for cover vary greatly from company to company. It is vital that you take advice to ensure that your income protection is occupation specific, will match your sick pay and will not suddenly increase dramatically in cost should the insurer suffer a number of claims and try to pass on the cost to you.
A couple of Insurers provide Income Protection cover for Doctors and have designed their policies to work in conjunction with the NHS sick pay scheme. Their contracts also offer Own Occupation cover- (Own occupation means that, if you are unable to do your own specific job) regardless of whether you could do another within the NHS, the policy will cover you.
The NHS Doctors' sick pay Initiative
A particular feature of their plans is the NHS sick pay initiative for newly qualified doctors. This is designed to help provide you with a replacement income, starting as soon as your NHS full sick pay ends, (whatever your length of service). Premiums are guaranteed so your cost will not increase unless you choose to increase your cover. To help accommodate for any pay rises and inflation, you can choose for your income replacement level to rise every year, regardless of any changes in your state of health.
As a medical practitioner, there is a small risk of accidentally contracting HIV/AIDS. The plans we recommend do not have HIV/Aids exclusion for members of the medical & dental profession if they contract the HIV infection accidentally whilst carrying out their normal duties.
Income protection for Newly Qualified Doctors
You might think you don't need an income protection policy. You don't have any children; you're not yet married; you've got a nice income. Why bother paying out to cover yourself for illness or disability? Maybe you're right. If everything goes to plan, you'll perhaps retire a little early and start to really enjoy life.
There is never a right time to fall seriously ill, or become involved in an accident. You could be struck down with something tomorrow, something that would stop you from ever going to work again. You won't get that much from the NHS or the State, certainly not enough to keep you in the style to which you're accustomed. That cash you're perhaps saved up would dwindle away fairly quickly if something really bad happened.
Im not trying to scaremonger here. Many people get through their whole working life without any serious illness or injury and even some long-term sufferers find that they're not too badly off financially. But for those that get caught on the wrong side of the fence, the combination of ill health and financial strife can be hard to cope with.
It is never planned, but can happen to any of us. When long-term illness brings one to a halt, it can often bring our income to a halt also. Continuing to be able to settle one's routine bills, mortgage, electricity, gas, water, fuel and food, can become increasingly difficult as time goes on. The State safety net of statutory sick pay and the facilities of the NHS are now largely emergency only and only help part of the problem.
Applying For Cover
We offer the opportunity for you to have a face to face meeting or we can call you at your convenience to discuss your needs and will guide you through the many plans available to ensure that you obtain the correct contract for your needs.

Once upon a time two friends decided to open a coffee shop – your favourite one! I've passed by Epic Coffee many times. Until I finally stepped inside.
A very polite and friendly guy greeted me. Before I asked anything, he introduced the menu. As I don't drink coffee, he recommended different kinds of teas! Very good variety – the most special teas in town!
Why do I recommend Epic Coffee (even if I don't drink coffee)? There are many reasons:
1. The place looks awesome. The guys did everything themselves. And it pays off. It looks casual, a little bit "hipster" and very inviting! You can crab a coffee and get a book as a "little cool" bonus! Amazing playlist, cool atmosphere and with the perfect vibe to chill or work on your computer!
2. They offer different kinds of coffees, milkshakes, cocoas and teas. Some are things I've never heard of! So even if you are very picky you can't leave this place with empty hands.
3. The waiter is very talkative and friendly. Put your phone away and have a nice chat before you have to go! Also the waiter knows what he is selling! By heart!
Who knows, maybe I'll start to drink coffee now…

No-Hurry Vegetable Curry
Recipe by Celeste
This is a crock-pot recipe that also cuts down on fat.
Top Review by Dr. Jenny
What I liked the most about this recipe was how easy it was to make. Especially since I was lazy and bought diced butternut and cauliflower florets from the store already cut. It is also pretty healthy, yields a lot, and has a good proportion of sauce. However, we found the finished version pretty bland for our tastes. Before serving, I added more curry paste. This did not help. We ended up adding a significant amount of salt and pepper, Madras curry powder, garam masala, and ground coriander before it met with our approval. Then, it was pretty good.

Pallekele, Sep 28: England and New Zealand are in the same boat. Having lost their opening Super Eight games, they have to win to keep their ICC World Twenty20 2012 semi-final chances alive. They face off here on Saturday afternoon.
It was heartbreak for New Zealand against Sri Lanka in the Super Over. For England, Eoin Morgan played a superb innings but fell short by 15 runs against West Indies in Group 1.
England, the defending champions and New Zealand will be hoping to get their campaigns back on track.
A loss for either of the teams will push them towards the exit.
England look better of the two. However, New Zealand will again look at Brendon McCullum for a big knock. England bowlers will have to be wary of McCullum.
The worrying sign for England is the poor form of their opener Craig Kieswetter. He has so far scored two ducks in three matches. Whether the team management will persist with him or drop the wicketkeeper is to be seen.
Since it is a crucial game for the Stuart Broad-led side and it would be better to pick an additional batsman and Alex Hales can take up wicketkeeping duty.
Tim Southee is the main bowler for the Kiwis. He has so far claimed five wickets. McCullum leads the batting charts with 180 runs including a century.
It is a must-win game for both teams. Who will come on top?
England: Stuart Broad (captain), Jonathan Bairstow, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Craig Kieswetter (wicketkeeper), Michael Lumb, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright.
New Zealand: Ross Taylor (Captain), Martin Guptill, Rob Nicol, Brendon McCullum (wicketkeeper), Kane Williamson, BJ Watling (wicketkeeper), James Franklin, Jacob Oram, Nathan McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Kyle Mills, Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Ronnie Hira, Adam Milne.
Umpires: Simon Taufel (Australia) and Asad Rauf (Pakistan)
Third umpire: Steve Davis (Australia)
Fourth umpire: Aleem Dar (Pakistan)
Match Referee: Javagal Srinath (India)
Match starts at 3.30 PM IST. Also playing on Saturday, at 7.30 PM IST, Sri Lanka Vs West Indies

Sunoco Acquires Coastal Mart Stores
The deal includes 65 company-owned units and 163 distributor sites.
Sunoco Inc. today reached an agreement with San Antonio-based Coastal Refining and Marketing Inc., a subsidiary of El Paso Corp. to purchase 65 of Coastal Mart's company-owned convenience stores and assume supply contracts with 24 Coastal distributors for 163 distributor additional units in the Southeast. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Of the 65 company-owned stores, 61 are located in Florida. Sunoco said it plans to rebrand all of these stores to its APlus convenience store brand. Of the 163 distributor sites, 109 are also in Florida with the remaining sites in Virginia and Tennessee.
"We are very excited about this opportunity to grow the company's retail site network by again returning the Sunoco logo to the U.S. Southeast through the acquisition of these high quality sites from Coastal Mart," said John Drosdick, Sunoco's chairman and CEO. "This purchase is a continuation of our strategy to pursue opportunities to grow the company's retail gasoline sales and non-gasoline income through the addition of new sites. We are confident that there is brand equity in the Sunoco name in this geographic area."
The deal increases Sunoco's company-owned store count to more than 650 and expands its distribution network to approximately 4,000 sites. Conversely, Coastal Mart, since being acquired by El Paso, has seen its store count drop from 580 in 2000 to less than 250.

|Please note: This article is about the bushi. For other uses of the term, please see Sho (disambiguation).
|Tsuruchi Sho
|Un-named brother
Tsuruchi Sho was a bushi of the Mantis Clan.
Fall of Otosan Uchi Edit
In 1159 Sho and his brother were in Otosan Uchi the day it fell to the Shadowlands. He did not escape unscathed, and was tainted. He voluntarily gave himself up to the Witch Hunters. [1]
Gateway Village Edit
This year Sho was stationed in Gateway Village at the orders of Tsuruchi Yutaka, a Tsuruchi who did not follow the Code of Tsuruchi and favored he blades over the bows. [2] Sho doubted he was the right man to lead them, [3] being Sho an adept to the old Tsuruchi ways. [1]
Nobumoto Edit
Sho had earned the appreciation of Tsuruchi Nobumoto in his first years on duty, and when Nobumoto became daimyo he kept his trust. [4]
Sailor Edit
In 1170 Sho served as intermediate to Yoritomo Buntaro, the captain of the Unknown Path. Sho met with Isawa Kyoko and Isawa Takesi, who told that a Phoenix ship named Inferno had been lost in the Clan War on the way of Crab lands, while it accidentally navigated in the Sea of Shadows. Its shipment included a large cache of jade and several priceless artifacts. The Mantis accepted to give their services for a fair price. Sho confessed the Phoenix he would gift his share of jade to the Crab, in memory of his fallen brother. To reach the wreckage they had to fight sea trolls, but there was not a scrap of jade remaining aboard. It seemed the Crab had found and retrieved the cargo time ago, so the loot was much less than expected. [1]
Legion of the Jade Hand Edit
Sho received an invitation to visit the Crab lands from some mysterious organization, [1] later revealed as the Legion of the Jade Hand, who was joined by Sho. [5] [4]
Ichiro's son Edit
In 1170 Tsuruchi Okame accompanied by a number of other Tsuruchi, including Sho, found Tsuruchi Hiro, Tsuruchi Ichiro's son, traveling with a group of ronin. After the ronin refused to believe any accusations about Hiro, a fight ensued, ending when the ronin were all dead and Hiro stood over an injured Okame. Before a killing blow could be delivered, Okame told the fallen samurai of his father's love and desire to see his son one more time, no matter the circumstance. Hiro hesitated, then turned his sword on himself. Okame's wounds were tended, but two days later was last seen by Sho leaving to seek forgiveness from his former daimyo. [4]
Lion lands Edit
Sho traveled to Lion lands to meet Matsu Benika. [4]

"Recon" was an interesting episode that made me think about stuff. The most interesting thing about to me was just how unredeemed sideways Sawyer was. It seems that for Sawyer choosing to be a cop was not the thing that he needed in order to be redeemed.
This got me thinking about the sideways world and redemption, and how Sawyer's redemption came on the island, not in the possible real world. This is different because most of the characters' redemption has come on the sideways before the island worlds. The only other character that this seems to happen for is with Kate. This makes me think that Sawyer and Kate belong on the island more than the rest, and as such will end up being Adam and Eve.
Dont get me wrong, I dont like this idea, but I think that it might hold some weight. What do yall think?

The year has begun and after a month of re-settling in my "normal" life and college after vacations, the months to come appear busy! Next semester I'll be jetting off to the other side of the world to study abroad, and with that come plenty of new adventures. Until then, there's still plenty of time to travel near home and write, write write.
Today, I want to dedicate a photo story to new beginnings. 2016 was a tough year, and who knows what 2017 will look like? Let's hope it looks as bright as these sunsets.

GraphicsBas replied to GraphicsBas's topic in Graphics and GPU Programming[quote name='PolyVox' timestamp='1305674625' post='4812154'] You might find this interesting: [url="http://petrocket.blogspot.com/2010/01/simple-flexibile-atmosphere-shaders.html"]http://petrocket.blo...re-shaders.html[/url] There's also some newer posting on the same blog that you might find useful.

For other people reading this: [url="http://petrocket.blogspot.com/2010/04/atmosphere-shader-update-and-treegrass.html"]http://petrocket.blo...-treegrass.html[/url] Thats the link with the improved sky shader.
GraphicsBas replied to GraphicsBas's topic in Graphics and GPU Programming[quote name='boubi' timestamp='1305669717' post='4812119'] Oh and just to comment the pic of spore, there is no atm scattering in there... [/quote] Thats very interesting, what I want to achieve is more of a 'spore-like' planet than a correct solution. Can you maybe provide me with more information on how the sky in spore is rendered?
GraphicsBas posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHey all, I have implemented O'Neils atmospheric scattering from space as described in GPU Gems 2. I have got it working the way I want except that I having trouble making the atmosphere larger/bigger. O'Neils implementation uses a predefined scale function which limits the atmosphere to be 2.5% larger than the planet itself. Currently this is what I have: [img]http://bassie-entertainment.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/sick2.png[/img] What I want to achieve is a larger atmosphere, as seen in Spore for instance: [img]http://www.freewebs.com/danielsblog/Spore%20Planet.jpg[/img] It is obvious that in the screenshot above the atmosphere is much larger than 2.5% of the planet.. So my question is: how to adapt O'Neil atmospheric scattering approach to account for a larger atmosphere.
GraphicsBas replied to Naked Shooter's topic in For BeginnersDid you reference the lib file? Not only do you have to specify where they are you also have to reference them in your project under linker settings. The function call is the only things your using that is really inside the library. The other stuff is simply in the headers which you are including correctly. Hope this helps. :)
Are you building for unicode? It in the general option pane of your project. If so you should use the int main(int argc, wchar_t **argv) signature instead or change the character set to multibyte. Also what is the END_OF_MAIN() macro and the end of the file?
Did you create a console project or a windows application? If your are building a windows application your entry point is the WinMain method. You can check it out under the linker->system options.
main should be int main(int argc, char ** argv) if your compiling with multibyte character set, use wchar_t if your compiling with unicode character set.
GraphicsBas replied to reoxthen's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingQuote:and PRT sounds familiar.. wasn't it the technique that one of Direct3D SDK's (uh I used the d word in opengl forum :P) example implementing. (on a yellow bat as far as I can remember) it was looking good too. (or was it deformable PRT?) There is a VERY good example in the DirectX SDK. The SDK suplies you with an interface but I don't think you will want to use that with OpenGL. :P The sample your mention uses LDPRT (Local deformable PRT). It allows the mesh to be more dynamic. There are quite a few extensions on the PRT algorithm but if your mesh is static (terrain usually is :)) than the normal PRT algorithm should do the trick. :) Hope to see if you get some results. :) Bas
GraphicsBas replied to iammfa's topic in For BeginnersThe problem is that an integer is a natural number. You should use the floats instead. Also as already pointed out by someone else, the ^ operator is a XOR operator and not a power operator. The error you were getting probably states that you can't use the XOR operator on a float. GBS
GraphicsBas replied to reoxthen's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingYou could also look into PRT(Precomputed radius transfer) lighting. It does allow lights to move, but your mesh has to remain static. A similar technique is used in Unreal engine 3. ;] Gr, Bas [Edited by - GraphicsBas on April 5, 2009 3:50:53 AM]
GraphicsBas replied to PeterV's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingMaybe if you set color as RT0, normals as RT1 and depth as RT2?
GraphicsBas replied to lordikon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by Sc4Freak void Foo(int x, int y) { if(!!x ^ !!y) { // x is nonzero and y is zero, or y is nonzero and x is zero } } Well dropping the !! there makes much more sense to me, as it's just a regular XOR..
GraphicsBas replied to bubububu's topic in Engines and MiddlewareI'm sorry to barge in the discussion like this but in my oppinion a scripting language doesn't perse have to be made out of lines of code. You could also use a graphical representation of your script. Artists don't have to write a single line of code. You can have them connect blobs/action/you-name-it with each other or something like that. Check the Unreal engine 3 for a graphical example. Thinking script doesn't necessarily mean thinking procedural. But ofcourse correct me if I'm wrong. :) GBS

MUSK OXLabel: NEUROPA
Release Date: 04 April 2016
Format: LP Double Vinyl
|MUSK OX WOODFALL Limited Vinyl 2LP Set
Musk Ox is a Canadian Neofolk project formed by Nathanaël Larochette, blending Neofolks lush acoustic textures with the expansiveness of Post Rock, the intricacy of Progressive Rock, and the emotional weight of Metal. Early 2016 will finally see Musk Ox release their critically acclaimed second full-length album Woodfall on double vinyl; a one hour, five part progressive chamber folk epic composed for classical guitar, cello, and violin. Woodfall boldly pushes the group leaps and bounds both compositionally as well as dynamically, while maintaining a keen awareness of the tradition which they have previously established. Expressing the essence of Canadas vast, magnificent landscapes through sound, Musk Ox is a forlorn journey through natural realms where darkness and light, substance and void, sorrow and joy, exist as a single entity.

Williams to Produce Cleaner Fuel
Oil company reaches a deal with Unocal on gas patents.
Unocal Corp. signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Tulsa, Okla.-based Williams Cos. Inc. to produce and blend cleaner burning gasolines using formulations patented by Unocal.
The licensing agreement allows Williams to use Unocal's five patents for Williams fuel production from its 180,000 barrel per day refinery in Memphis, Tenn.
"With the numerous blends of gasoline in the marketplace today, having this licensing agreement enables us to maximize flexibility within our gasoline pool, agilely change our production slate, and cost-effectively blend reformulated gasolines to better meet our customers' needs," said, Nelson Christian, director of operations and technical services, Williams refining and marketing operations.
In addition, Williams' ethanol business benefits from the Unocal agreement as the company plans to continue using ethanol as one of the major components in its reformulated gasoline blends.
"The licensing agreement will allow Williams to better leverage our numerous petroleum production streams and blending assets with our ethanol business," said Jim Redding, Williams? director of marketing and logistics. "This agreement demonstrates Williams' continued commitment to supply cleaner burning fuels to the marketplace."
The licensing agreement with Williams is the fifth such contract issued by Unocal since the company unveiled its licensing program in March. Last month, Unocal signed licensing agreements for its cleaner burning gasoline patents with CITGO Petroleum Corporation, Tesoro Petroleum Corporation and two other unnamed companies.
"Our licenses enable refiners, blenders and importers to cost-effectively maximize their supplies of cleaner burning gasolines," said Unocal CEO Charles Williamson. "Companies are not likely to utilize the Unocal patents for all of their RFG volumes. As such, the licenses should add only a fraction of a cent per gallon to the industry's cost structure for its nationwide RFG production."

NATO, the European Union, and the Atlantic Community: The Transatlantic Bargain Reconsidered
This accessible and astute book provides a full interpretive history of the transatlantic alliance, which has been at the heart of U.S. and European foreign and security policies since NATO was founded in 1949. Stanley Sloan explores the deep roots of current tensions shaking the alliance as its members face the challenge of adapting to new threats posed by terrorism and proliferating weapons of mass destruction. This comes at a time when the U.S.-European relationship itself is in transition as NATO and the EU are taking in new members and seeking constructive ties to Russia. Meanwhile, the United States is trying to adapt to its role as the world's only global power, sometimes acting too much like the hegemon that it has become. Concluding with a perspective on the future of transatlantic relations, the author argues that a new Atlantic Community Treaty is needed to ensure the future vitality of Euro-Atlantic ties.

Gluten-Free Diet May Alleviate Depressive and Behavioral Symptoms in Adolescents with Celiac Disease
- By Scott Adams
- Published 05/9/2005
- Depression and Celiac Disease
- Unrated
Celiac.com 05/09/2005 – Past studies have linked depression and behavioral disorders in teenagers with untreated celiac disease. Researchers in Finland conducted a study that was designed to determine what effect a gluten-free diet has on the psychiatric symptoms of adolescents with celiac disease, and specifically on the hormone prolactin (thyroid function) and on large neutral amino acid serum concentrations. Nine 12 to 16 –year-old adolescents with celiac disease were evaluated using the semi-structured K-SADS-Present and Lifetime Diagnostic interview, and seven were followed up after 1-2, 3 and 6 months on a gluten-free diet.
The researchers found that pre-gluten-free diet adolescents with celiac disease and depression had significantly lower tryptophan competing amino-acid ratios and free tryptophan concentrations, and had significantly higher biopsy morning prolactin levels compared to those without depression. After three months on a gluten-free diet the researchers noted a significant decrease in the patients psychiatric symptoms that coincided with a decrease in celiac disease symptoms and prolactin levels, and a sharp increase in serum concentrations of tryptophan competing amino-acid ratios.
The researchers conclude that their findings support the idea that untreated celiac disease in adolescents can create serotonergic dysfunction due to the impaired availability of tryptophan, and this may play a role in depressive and behavioral disorders.

Icy, mogul days on the hil
POW gear of Choice:
I am a mitt girl during the cold winter! Love them!!! My go to is the W's Stealth and Feva Mitt GTX! I have two or three pairs in a rotation. They are my faves (of course in different colours because this girl like to match her outerwear...haha). When the weather gets a bit warmer, I wear the W's Chase Glove. I'm a big fan of leather gloves, when I'm skiing I feel I get a good grip on my poles blowing through powder in the trees!
Do you have any pre-riding or post-riding rituals?
A good breakfast and coffee, it just jump starts your day! Never cheap out on your socks, always have a fresh pair, never with holes. Once you find your best pair, get 10! Just like gloves.
If you were stuck on a snow covered mountain island who are the five people you would want to ride with, dead or alive?
Shane McConkey / Sarah Burke / Pip Hunt / Crystal Wright / Jim Jack
Hobbies off the board/sticks?
Been really getting into the biking, Downhill and road biking. Two very different and I think that's why I like it. Downhill because it's like riding a monster truck down a mountain, it can get through anything and feels a lot like skiing when you go around berms. Road biking, its fast, fantastic for your fitness and you feel really accomplished when you have climb a very large hill and now you get to fly down it! Just finished the Gran Fondo Whistler, 122km mostly uphill. Felt really good finishing that one! / Trail running too! Going fast in the woods dodging all the trees is pretty fun! / / Love traveling, photography and I hate to stereotypical, love fashion and shopping.
What is the best advice you have been given?
Keep Dreaming, work hard and it will pay off in more then you can imagine. / and / Treat others they way you want to be treated.
Why are you riding for POW Gloves?
They are a core brand and stand behind their products and riders. / They have been with me since the beginning, they were my first sponsor when they were starting out too and that means a lot. I am proud to wear their gloves. / They are a talking piece in the lift lines and I always get asked about them and I show them off with pride.
Famous last words:
Take advantage of the mountain! It is your personal playground, get air, find the powder and high five your friends often!

The man demanded the film, but she said it was a digital camera, pretending to delete the image.
First came Lee Daniels, the director of Precious, whose boyfriend was taking pictures of Daniels and Freeman on a digital camera.
Both men ran when police arrived, but not before stealing a laptop and digital camera.
And he brought a digital camera and a tripod to document his endeavors.
"He was ruthless," says a former male devotee, who remembers Saraswati once smashing a digital camera in a fit of rage.
"It was different back then, before everyone everywhere had a digital camera," he says.

Former New Roads Mayor Tommy Nelson was convicted Wednesday in Baton Rouge on federal charges of racketeering, wire fraud, lying to investigators and the use of telephones in aid of racketeering.
The jury of five women and seven men deliberated an hour before finding Nelson guilty on all seven counts of his indictment, which resulted from an FBI sting known as Operation Blighted Officials.
"We definitely are going to appeal," Michael A. Fiser, one of Nelson's attorneys, said after the verdict.
"Our sole defense of entrapment was taken away" by Chief U.S. District Judge Ralph E. Tyson, Fiser added. "We think the judge was wrong."
A day earlier, Tyson ruled that defense attorneys did not provide sufficient evidence of entrapment by undercover FBI agents. The judge said he would not tell jurors they could acquit Nelson if they believed he was improperly enticed or coerced by investigators to accept bribes.
"There simply wasn't any evidence of entrapment," Assistant U.S. Attorney Corey R. Amundson said outside the courthouse. "The judge determined no juror could find entrapment."
"We think the evidence (against Nelson) was very strong," Amundson added. "Folks in this district … are not going to tolerate corruption."
Tyson did not immediately schedule a date for Nelson's sentencing. A pre-sentence investigation must be conducted. Such investigations can require several months for completion.
Prosecution witnesses in Nelson's trial, which began June 6, included undercover FBI agents who testified that Nelson accepted more than $22,000 in cash and other gifts for his pledge of a municipal contract.
That contract was to have gone to a garbage can cleaning business known as Cifer 5000. Cifer was a fictitious firm used by the FBI in Operation Blighted Officials.
Port Allen Mayor Derek Lewis and Port Allen Chief of Police Fred Smith also were indicted as a result of that operation. They are scheduled for trial July 25.
St. Gabriel Mayor George L. Grace is scheduled for trial Jan. 23.
Amundson would not discuss either pending case.
The prosecutor added, however, that Operation Blighted Officials is a continuing investigation.
"There are other aspects of the investigation that are ongoing," Amundson said.
In the Nelson case, jurors heard dozens of recorded conversations between the then-mayor, undercover FBI agents and a paid FBI undercover operative. All three investigators presented themselves as Cifer officials.
In some of those conversations, Nelson boasted that he was taken care of by several companies doing business with New Roads.
In others, Nelson demanded payments from Cifer officials and agreed to accept 10 percent of Cifer's profits from business he steered to the firm.
Jurors also saw video of Nelson accepting cash-filled envelopes from undercover investigators. And they saw a written statement of facts, signed by Nelson, admitting that he committed acts that are alleged in his indictment.
FBI Special Agent Tonja Sablatura testified earlier that Nelson confessed to accepting bribes when he was detained by her and her fellow FBI agent in May 2010. That discussion occurred minutes after Nelson accepted $5,000 in cash from a man he believed to be a corrupt Cifer official.
That confession was not recorded, Sablatura said.
FBI policy only permits undercover agents to record conversations with targets of an investigation
Sablatura was not working undercover.
Page A. Pate, one of Nelson's attorneys, told jurors Wednesday that undercover FBI agents pushed and pushed Nelson into criminal acts.
"I submit to you he (Nelson) was a different guy in 2010 than he was in 2008," Pate told jurors. "That's not the Tommy Nelson everybody knew in 2008. What happened between 2008 and 2010? Two years of undercover agents working on him."
Pate added: "If he (Nelson) confessed, why can't we hear it in his own words?"
"All of the bribe transactions were recorded," Assistant U.S. Attorney M. Patricia Jones told jurors. "He confessed."
Jones added: "He wrote it down. These were payments in exchange for official acts."
Amundson told jurors: "Tommy Nelson is here today because of Tommy Nelson."
Amundson said Nelson accepted bribes, confessed to those crimes and now wants people to believe prosecution witnesses are lying about him.
"Everybody's lying?" Amundson asked jurors.
"He (Nelson) signed this statement of facts," Amundson reminded jurors. "What did he admit? He admitted everything we're charging him with."
The prosecution's case was complicated by Nelson's subpoena of former FBI Special Agent Darin Lee McAllister.
McAllister was an undercover agent who approached Nelson and several other officials indicted as a result of the FBI sting.
In a case unrelated to Nelson's, however, McAllister was convicted in December in Nashville on 15 counts of wire fraud and three counts of making false statements in his 2009 bankruptcy case. McAllister's jury concluded that his wire frauds involved bank funds totaling $1.2 million.
Nelson's defense attorneys repeatedly suggested that federal investigators improperly entrapped him and coerced him into committing acts he otherwise would not have considered.
So, McAllister's criminal conviction was a problem for prosecutors.
If Pate and Fiser had caught McAllister in a lie during his testimony, the defense attorneys would have been able to ask him about his felony conviction in Tennessee.
And that could have affected the jury's decision in Nelson's trial.
Nelson's conviction is the third to have resulted from Operation Blighted officials.
Former White Castle Mayor Maurice Brown was convicted on felony charges March 3, but has not yet been sentenced.
Former Port Allen Councilman Johnny L. Johnson Sr. pleaded guilty to racketeering and bribery charges last year. Johnson hasn't been sentenced, either.
There also has been one acquittal.
White Castle Police Chief Mario Brown, brother of Maurice Brown, was found innocent on all counts March 3.

Rapist accused of sexually assaulting Shetland pony caught with animal porn
A convicted rapist who was accused of sexually assaulting a Shetland pony has been convicted of possessing graphic material on his computer.
Alan Barnfield (45) denied four counts of making child pornography and five counts of possessing extreme pornographic images at Sheffield Crown Court.
Police seized the Doncaster man's laptop, external hard drive and USB stick, all of which contained indecent and explicit material, police said.
Barnfield told police the material was already on his laptop when he purchased it from an electronics store in Doncaster town.
However, the court heard from the store manager who said he has no record - electronically or otherwise - of Barnfield purchasing the item.
Officers analysing the laptop found tens of thousands of images and videos, some of which included videos of people having sex with dogs and horses.
Police also discovered a graphic snuff video which showed the rape and murder of a woman which was described as 'deeply disturbing'.
The court heard the clip bore similarity with the rape of a woman Barnfield was convicted of over ten years ago.
He was yesterday convicted of possessing the material and sentenced to seven years.
In August of 2012, Barnfield was also found 'sweating' and 'smelling of horses' by police after worried neighbours spotted him in the area.
He was allegedly acting suspicious before being witnessed putting something around the neck of a Shetland pony and leading the two animals to a dark wooded area.
Prosecutor Louise Reevell said at the time: "It is at this time the prosecution say that intercourse took place out of sight in a dark wooded area at the end of the paddock."
Police arrived at the scene and searched Barfield's rucksack, looking for items he might have used to commit theft.
They found several cans of Lynx deodorant, a length of white electrical cable, a handheld water sprayer, a cloth, a metal dog chain and two bottles of Lucozade, the court heard.
Barfield told police he was 'just out walking' and denied any sexual intercourse with the animal.
Miss Reevell said the next day owner Jodie Walton inspected her ponies and found Sky - her Shetland Pony - appeared to be in discomfort.
He was cleared of having sex with the Shetland pony but convicted of public indecency.

The Black Elves were once part of the uprising led by Prince Viridel Kerithrion against the rest of the Elven nations, but became horrified at the depths to which they had sunk, and managed to escape to the surface world again. However, they have never truly forgiven themselves for what they were a part of.
They are a mostly nomadic and saddened race, intensely wary of other Elves and generally distrustful of other races. Though they have overcome the utter depravities to which the Dark Elves have sunk, they are known for serving Evil quite frequently, as was evinced by their presence in the service of the Archmage of Mampang and the armies of Balthus Dire during the Trolltooth Wars.[1]

The news broke late Saturday night, with sources telling the Tribune Golson had committed a Residence Life violation before clarifying to reporter Brian Hamilton that an academic violation was the reason for Golson's departure from Notre Dame. That's an important distinction, because as NCAA bylaws expert John Infante points out, an academic violation would render Golson ineligible to receive scholarship funding from any college in the upcoming year.

AT&T Stock Currently Offers A 5.5% Dividend, But Can It Be Defended?
- Owning AT&T stock is all about its dividend, now yielding 5.5%.
- The DirecTv acquisition helps, with its lower debt load than the parent.
- If G.Fast can save the day your investment is safe.
Dividend investors are very nervous these days. They watch the troubles at Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) and other oil pipelines, companies that promised huge dividends and now can't deliver. They wonder if there is any safety for their type of investor.
For such people, there is AT&T (NYSE:T). AT&T pays a steady, and rising dividend. More importantly, it can currently afford that dividend.
The question, as always, is how hard the assets have to be worked in order to pay that dividend, and there is good news on that front, in the recently-completed acquisition of DirecTv. DirecTv added substantially to the asset base, but AT&T's debt-to-assets ratio actually fell slightly when the deal was completed.
AT&T puts out a lot of press releases about "ultrafast" and "Gigapower" service in various locations, but the real business here is wireless. Along with Verizon (NYSE:VZ) it dominates the U.S. wireless market. That's where the bulk of the profits come from, that's what your dividend is paid on.
The rest is a problem.
DirecTv added about $6 billion in sales and $500 million in net income when it came onto the books in the third quarter, but it also added about $75 billion in assets with just $14 billion in long-term debt. DirecTv also gives AT&T a "bundle" it can offer to match what cable television offers, enabling it to focus its wires on Internet service.
Cable has been a growing problem for phone companies like AT&T for decades, because the wires it installed at homes are bigger, capable of handling a lot more data as fiber cable is looped closer-and-closer to neighborhoods. Phone networks, by contrast, have very thin wires and are architected as multiple long loops from central switching stations. The stations are closer to the home, but the wire has to be replaced entirely by fiber or the Internet speed is just not competitive.
AT&T has been working to boost the speed of its Digital Subscriber Line or DSL Internet service, which generally degrades with distance from a switch. The hope is that by using bits for all of a line, making telephony a low-bandwidth digital service, and by using a new Broadcom (NASDAQ:BRCM) technology called G.Fast, these lines can be upgraded without the high cost of running fiber. Meanwhile, the company is advertising its limited number of fiber builds, doing an initial marketing sweep, and then keeping quiet. The cost is prohibitive, and the builds are mainly PR.
If G.Fast can expand AT&T's fast Internet footprint at less cost than fiber, and a DirecTv bundle works in suburban neighborhoods where cable remains a threat, the company should maintain a healthy enough bottom line to pay out that dividend.
AT&T has shown loyalty to the dividend in the past, often paying it out even when there were not enough earnings to cover it. The hope is that the wireless franchise is strong enough that it won't have to do that again, that DirecTv can keep things going until G.Fast is ready, but so long as it defends the dividend, your money invested here is safe.
