A regular meeting of the County of Dukes County Commissioners was held on Wednesday, July 11, 2001, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Room of the County Administration Building, notice of such meeting having been posted as required by law.

E. B. Collins
Roger Wey
Leonard Jason, Jr.
Robert Sawyer
Daniel Flynn
John Alley
Also Present: Carol Borer, County Manager
Marsha Smolev, Executive Assistant
Noreen Flanders, County Treasurer

Julie Wells, Vineyard Gazette
Chairman Leland called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. and welcomed everyone to the first meeting of the County Commissioners to be held in the new County Administration Building Conference Room.
Commissioner Collins Moved that the Minutes of June 27, 2001
be approved as written. Commissioner Alley Seconded the Motion and the Minutes were approved unanimously.
The County Manager began her report by asking for a vote to
establish a fuel revolving fund based on 1992 Legislation. Commissioner Flynn made the Motion that was Seconded by Commissioner Jason. The Vote to pass the Motion was unanimous.
Commissioner Alley Moved that the County Commissioners
authorize the County Treasurer to borrow up to $500,000 in anticipation of revenue. Commissioner Sawyer Seconded the Motion that passed unanimously.
The County Commissioners asked the County Manager to update them on the Dukes County Regional Housing Authority's progress with their needs assessment and rental surveys.
Mrs. Borer reminded the Commissioners that the next meeting would be
July 25
on Cuttyhunk Island. The County Manager also mentioned that the Retirement Board's Hearing for their building addition with the Martha's Vineyard Commission will be held on July 19
There was discussion of a complaint to evict John Vogel, Airport Business Park tenant. Commissioner Sawyer was concerned that the issue had not been brought before the County Commissioners, yet their name was on the complaint. Chairman Leland agreed that this was of concern. Commissioner Flynn suggested phoning Airport Manager Weibrecht for an explanation. Commissioner Wey thought the Commissioners should have the opportunity to vote on something like this. Commissioner Jason said perhaps it was an error on the part of Counsel. He said the County Commissioners appoint the Airport Commission to deal with these matters and the County Manager should ask Counsel Cini for an explanation. Chairman Leland asked the County Manager to find out who was responsible for the County Commissioners' name being on the complaint and why.
Mrs. Borer mentioned that five towns had agreed to participate in the Housing Rehabilitation Grant application. Commissioner Jason asked about Gosnold and the County Manager agreed to ask Gosnold if they had an interest in participating.
Commissioner Sawyer reported that the Health Care Services Procurement Committee voted to accept the one proposal received, that of the MV Hospital, for $495,000.
Representative to the SSA, JB Riggs Parker, was asked to update the Commissioners on SSA issues. He reported that a Hearing was scheduled the following day in Hyannis, by the Joint Transportation Committee. The Bill would modify the SSA to provide for 5 members (adding Barnstable and New Bedford.) Martha's Vineyard would have a 30% vote and Nantucket 25%, so the Islands would retain control if they voted together. (Each mainland town would have a 15% vote.) Mr. Parker was uncertain about how the Hearing would go, since he believed Nantucket was opposed to this plan. Commissioner Wey asked for Mr. Parker's position. Mr. Parker stated that the Legislature is responsible for setting up the framework, and so they can change it. He said he did not believe an Authority member had to take a position. Rather, he believed it was his responsibility to make whatever the Legislature decided, work. He stressed that the Authority must be free to do its job. Commissioner Alley asked if Mr. Parker supported the changes. Mr. Parker responded that he believed it was not appropriate for him to take a personal position.
Noreen Flanders asked what message Mr. Parker would carry from the Islanders to the Hearing. Mr. Parker said that if asked to speak, he would say it was "time to get on with it."
Mr. Parker said he preferred a 3 member Board, but did not see 5 as a threat. He said if control was shifted away from the Islands, that would be a threat, and he would oppose it. Commissioners Alley and Wey opposed Mr. Parker's statement that he did not see 5 members as a threat. Commissioner Flynn discussed his experience on the Task Force, and agreed that it was not Mr. Parker's job to be a representative before the Legislature. He reiterated that Mr. Parker was appointed by the Commissioners to represent them at the SSA.
Commissioner Collins voiced concern about expanding the SSA to 4 or 5, stating that if one Island member was absent, the Mainland would have a majority. Mr. Parker agreed there appeared to be a quorum flaw (3 makes a quorum.) He said several technical issues needed to be adjusted.
Commissioner Flynn regretted that the Island had not organized a party to attend the Hearing, as Nantucket had. He said there should be a vote of confidence to be taken to that Hearing. Commissioner Jason said Mr. Parker had done an exemplary job and was taking the right course of action. Mrs. Borer stated that it was unfortunate that the All Island Selectmen hadn't met before the Hearing so the towns could speak with one voice.
Commissioner Flynn said the County Commissioners are the regional voice. What message will their representative bring?
Commissioner Sawyer agreed that Mr. Parker had made an enormous commitment to this issue and asked that the Commissioners support him. Commissioner Sawyer said his cause for concern was that the perception would be that the Islands are taking different paths. Mr. Parker said the perception is real, but facts don't support it. He added that he wouldn't support anything in respect to Nantucket that Nantucket didn't want, but that the Vineyard had not received that kind of support. Discussion continued with Commissioners reiterating their positions. Commissioner Flynn asked what the alternative was? Commissioner Sawyer said not supporting Barnstable would create antagonism. Commissioner Jason said it would be better to have 5 members and maintain control than an unknown.
Commissioner Wey said what's next then, delete the Islands? Commissioner Alley agreed with that, stating, "we're not in a position to give away the store."
Commissioner Jason said, "What if it does us in?" Commissioner Flynn asked what that message would be to Falmouth?
Commissioner Collins said the Legislation does not address the overall traffic picture in SE Massachusetts. He added there needs to be a comprehensive plan that includes all forms of transportation and that doesn't require a change in Legislature. Commissioner Flynn said it does require a change, but agreed there's a need for a comprehensive plan. Commissioner Collins said the fundamental plan is to aid in the economic recovery of New Bedford. He's opposed to taking from one to aid another.
Commissioner Jason asked, "How do we honor our commitments to Woods Hole and Hyannis?" Commissioner Collins said, "make sure our representative does the job we set out for him to accomplish."
Commissioner Sawyer said Senator O'Leary believes Barnstable should have a weighted vote. Commissioner Collins said that was appropriate.
Commissioner Flynn asked if the Commissioners would give their representative a vote of confidence. Mrs. Borer mentioned the Resolution the County Commissioners agreed supporting a 3 member Authority, and in which they said that giving New Bedford a vote was premature. In that Resolution, they supported letting the planning process happen for transportation. Commissioner Collins said lots of years went by until a non-voting member joined the SSA and the SSA was viable then. And now the member will get a vote?
Mr. Parker said the Board has policy about adjustments that pay past obligations to the Vineyard.
Commissioner Sawyer asked if the County Commissioners wanted to take a position to support the status quo. Commissioner Jason said the change is going to happen. Commissioner Wey disagreed with going along with it. Mrs. Flanders asked why Commissioner Flynn had changed his stance. He answered that he learned a lot on the Task Force, got "a political education," and felt a lot of work and thought had gone into the Kass Report.
Commissioner Jason Moved the position that changing the Legislation is premature, but if Legislation must change, the Islands must maintain voting control. Commissioner Flynn seconded the Motion.
There was some discussion that included Commissioner Collins' remarks asking if it was wise to present a statement without elaborating on it. Commissioner Wey wondered if the Resolution should be amended. Commissioner Flynn said it would be a disservice to the SSA representative to not unanimously endorse his efforts.
The Motion on the County Commissioners' position was brought to a vote. Commissioners Jason, Sawyer, Leland and Collins voted in favor. Commissioners Wey and Alley voted opposed. Commissioner Flynn abstained. The Motion passed.
Commissioner Flynn Moved that the Commissioners issue a vote of confidence for SSA representative JB Riggs Parker. Commissioner Jason Seconded the Motion. Commissioners Collins, Leland, Flynn, Jason and Sawyer were favor of the vote. Commissioners Alley and Wey were opposed. There were no abstentions. The Motion carried.
Chairman Leland brought up the next item on the Agenda, County Police. The Sheriff reviewed the possibilities of such a Police force, stating that the County could then take care of some of its own needs. Chairman Leland asked why there was a need for County Police. The Sheriff said it would be an alternative way to handle the need for some public services, like providing Courthouse security and policing County property. There was discussion of other County's that have police. Commissioners Flynn and Collins will be on the Subcommittee to study this issue.
Commissioner Collins Moved that the meeting adjourn. Commissioner Sawyer Seconded the Motion. The meeting adjourned at 9:07 PM.

Lady Gaga Bares Bra, Poses in Haystack at Watermill Center Summer Benefit [Pictures]
Lady Gaga is back in the public eye after an absence that felt like an eternity. When she's not sharing naked photos (like this and this), she's baring her bra at a benefit event, like she did at last night's (July 27) Watermill Center Summer Benefit in New York, which supports the arts. Gaga's black leather attire was like a deconstructed work of art, honestly.
Gaga, a performance artist herself, was flanked by fellow entertainer Marina Abramovic and playwright/director Robert Wilson.
Mama Monster is still rocking that makeup-free look and showing of her septum piercing lately. Gaga's hair is dark and it looked a little greasy as she donned a geometric, black leather dress which showed off her black lace bra. The Lady bared her bra and showed off a bare face.
She also posed in a haystack and left us wondering WTF happened to her eyebrows. They're MIA.
Gaga obviously likes lacy lingerie and it was part of her outfit, as opposed any sort of wardrobe malfunction. This was purposeful, not an accident. With fashion, Gaga leaves nothing to chance.
Gaga and her bra posed with Marina Abramovic. Again, eyebrows?

Coming off a two-week break, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (10W-11L-7D) return to Major League Soccer action with an important Western Conference encounter at FC Dallas (8W-12L-9D) on Saturday evening.
This month's international break has given Martin Rennie's side the chance to reflect on a difficult stretch of results over the past month. Standing four points above Dallas in the fifth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference standings, this weekend's trip to Frisco, Texas, could play a pivotal role in the Blue and White's pursuit of reaching the postseason for the first time as an MLS club.
Vancouver's previous two meetings with Dallas this season saw a split of results on Bell Pitch at BC Place. On April 21, Camilo Sanvezzo's early goal gave the 'Caps a 1-0 home win over Dallas before The Hoops avenged that loss with a 2-0 win over Whitecaps FC on August 15. Second-half goals by Fabián Castillo and substitute Jonathan Top gave the Texas-based outfit all three points in downtown Vancouver.
Whitecaps FC versus FC Dallas from FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, kicks off at 5:30 p.m. PT and can be seen live on Sportsnet Pacific and Bell mobile devices. 'Caps fans can also listen to Saturday's match live on TEAM 1040 radio (change from TEAM 1410) and teamradio.ca, starting with the pre-game show at 3:30 p.m. PT. TEAM 1040 will also have a two-hour post-game show, which will begin following the match at around 7:30 p.m. PT. Fans can also follow Saturday's match on Twitter @WhitecapsMatch.
While nations all over the world took their next steps towards Brazil and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Whitecaps FC used the down time to assess the tough spell they have endured in the last few weeks. What the extended break afforded Rennie's squad was the chance to put their emphasis on the challenges ahead, starting with this weekend's crucial clash at FC Dallas Stadium, which is nearing a sell-out for the game. Saturday is the last game of a four-match spell on the road, with the 'Caps looking forward to four straight matches at home after this weekend.
The break from MLS action not only afforded Whitecaps FC some rest and recovery, it gave some players a chance to work on their match fitness. Recent acquisition Tiago Ulisses has progressed well since arriving in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. The Brazilian looked comfortable as a holding midfielder in Monday's reserve team match and should come into consideration for first-team action very soon. There is also a further boost in the return to full training of youngster Omar Salgado this week. The United States youth international saw his season halted by a foot fracture, while on international duty back in early June.
Rennie will also hope that the quartet of players that were on World Cup qualifying duty return to Vancouver with no adverse effects. He will be pleased to see striker Kenny Miller earn the confidence of scoring his 17th goal for Scotland on Tuesday, while Darren Mattocks and Dane Richards played supporting roles in two intriguing qualifiers against the Americans. On the injury front, Whitecaps FC centre back Andy O'Brien and midfielder Gershon Koffie are listed as probable with right adductor strains.
It is hard not to underline the importance of this weekend's match for Schellas Hyndman's side, with The Hoops very much in the playoff picture in the west after a productive set of results. Much of that turnaround coincided with the return to fitness of the dynamic Colombian David Ferreira, who the Texas club rely on for much of their playmaking abilities. Dallas, however, were left frustrated by their last two league performances - a defeat at resurgent LA Galaxy and home draw with the equally in-form Seattle Sounders FC.
Hyndman will likely call upon the likes of striker Blas Perez, midfielder Julian de Guzman, and winger Brek Shea to face Vancouver, despite their recent spells away on World Cup qualifying duty with their national teams. Perez (Panama) and de Guzman (Canada) were adversaries over the last few days, while Shea appeared as a substitute in both of the USA's two matches versus Mattocks, Richards, and Jamaica. Speedy Colombian youngster Castillo is also available after overcoming a recent hamstring problem.
Dallas will be without centre back Ugo Ihemelu (concussion) and fellow defender Alex Lee (lower abdominal) for the weekend clash with Whitecaps FC. Defender Zach Loyd (lower back) and midfielder Ricardo Villar (foot) are listed as questionable.
Saturday's match will be the fifth meeting between Whitecaps FC and FC Dallas, with both clubs first playing each other in MLS last season. The inaugural match-up at Empire Field on April 23, 2011, saw the Texas outfit come from a goal down to win 2-1. Alain Rochat gave the 'Caps a 1-0 halftime lead with his first-ever goal for Vancouver, but a George John equalizer early in the second half set up substitute Eric Avila's winning strike. FC Dallas followed that result with a 2-0 home win over Whitecaps FC on October 15, 2011. Goals by Marvin Chavez and Shea gave The Hoops all three points at FC Dallas Stadium.
WATCH: Brad Knighton
Before joining MLS last year, Whitecaps FC played teams from Dallas, Texas, in the old North American Soccer League (NASL), with Vancouver registering an 11W-5L-0D record versus Dallas Tornado between 1974 and 1981. This included an away record of 4W-4L-0D. During Whitecaps FC's run to the 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl title, Vancouver eliminated the Tornado in the National Conference playoff quarterfinals. The weekend match will also be the 52nd time that Whitecaps FC have played a club from the state of Texas. In The Lone Star State, Vancouver have registered an all-time record of 7W-14L-2D for an overall record of 30W-17L-4D all-time.
There are several connections between Vancouver and Dallas. Whitecaps FC director of soccer operations Tom Soehn played for FC Dallas (known then as Dallas Burn) from 1996 to 1998 and was part of the team that won the 1997 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup title. In 2010, 'Caps striker Atiba Harris played a key role in leading FC Dallas to the MLS Cup final. It was that same year that FC Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz was teammates with the Whitecaps FC duo of goalkeeper Brad Knighton and left fullback Jordan Harvey at Philadelphia Union. Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Joe Cannon and FC Dallas striker Scott Sealy were teammates at San Jose Earthquakes in 2008 and 2010.
Following this weekend's trip to Dallas, Whitecaps FC will return home for the next four regular season matches, starting with the second visit of 2012 by Western Conference rivals Colorado Rapids on Sunday, September 23. Kickoff from BC Place is set for 4:30 p.m. PT. Individual match tickets start at $20, plus applicable service charges, and are available at all Ticketmaster Ticket Centres, online at ticketmaster.ca, and Charge-by-Phone at 1.855.6.GO-CAPS (1.855.646.2277). CLICK HERE for more information on Whitecaps FC tickets.
Whitecaps FC's home match versus Colorado Rapids can also be seen live on Sportsnet Pacific, Sportsnet ONE, and Bell mobile devices at 4:30 p.m. PT. 'Caps fans can also listen to the September 23 match live on TEAM 1410 radio and teamradio.ca, starting with the pre-game show at 2:30 p.m. PT. TEAM 1410 will also have a two-hour post-game show, which will begin following the match at around 6:30 p.m. PT. Fans can also follow the September 23 match on Twitter @WhitecapsMatch.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC are preparing to launch a special offer for fans on 2013 Season Tickets.

Am putting together a tasting of Loire wines for my girlfriend's (German) parents, and am very excited about the prostelytizing possibilities. But, while reviewing the local London offerings I came across two producers that look serious but that I've never tasted.
Frederic Mabileau - seems quite well-documented in the press, but not on this website, working in Bourgueil and St Nicholas de Bourgueil.
Chateau de Bellevue - they seem less well documented in the press, but they have a wine from La Croix Picot in Savennieres, so could they be promising?
Any opinions?

Google Decides Organizing The World's Information Is Easier If That Info Is Online
from the so,-please,-put-your-info-online dept
Squidoo has been around for quite some time without getting much traction and Mahalo is too early to call. So, it's certainly reasonable to question whether or not knols will really take off beyond spammers (which, Google insists it will keep out). If it were any other company doing this, it would make sense to be quite skeptical of how well it would catch on, but you have to provide Google at least the benefit of the doubt in terms of being able to leverage its brand to make this take off in some form or another. Certainly, Google has had its fair share of failed projects -- and I'm not yet convinced that people really want to create pages of info just for the hell of it. However, of any company trying this sort of thing, Google probably has the greatest chance to make it work.
Of course, no discussion on Google's knol project would be complete without comparing it to Wikipedia (as many smart commentators are noting). However, in looking over the details, this doesn't seem to be a Wikipedia "competitor" so much as another reference for static information. It seems that the goals of this project are quite different than Wikipedia's -- which is focused on narrowing in on a clear, factual description of something. The idea of knols is almost completely antithetical to that concept. It's about recognizing a single individual's perspective on things, and allowing multiple people to put forth their perspective. Google is even hoping that people will create knols based on opinion, rather than trying to create factual pages. That's quite different. Neither approach is necessarily "better" -- they just serve different purposes, and assuming these knols catch on, what may be most interesting is to see how useful the combination of knols and Wikipedia are together. I've always believed that a Wikipedia-type approach works well for factual information, where you have to zoom in on a single point -- but it runs into trouble when you want opinion, insight and analysis, where you want multiple separate opinions rather than a merged one. That, at least is the theory behind our business as well, so it's nice to see Google appears to have a similar perspective. However, much of the work that we've done with the Techdirt Insight Community has been in aligning various incentives for people to provide useful analysis and insights (rather than useless or meaningless ones) -- and it will be interesting to see how much Google has thought through the various incentives at play.

Slash, Aerosmith and Others Mark Metallica's 30th Anniversary With Video Tributes
A slew of big time rock 'n' rollers and other high-profile fans have sent in video testimonials to mark Metallica's 30th anniversary, which the band celebrated last week with a four-night stand of concerts at the Fillmore Theater in their hometown of San Francisco. Aerosmith, Slash, Jimmy Page, Sammy Hagar, Queen's Brian May and Rush are among the artists and bands sending their best wishes in video clips posted on Metallica's official website.
"Being in a band is like being in a mousetrap: everybody wants to get in, everybody wants to get out," jokes singer Steven Tyler in a video post from Aerosmith. "In this case, nobody gets out alive, including you guys."
"Good work, 30 years man," adds guitarist Joe Perry. "Congratulations, we've got something to look forward to."
"Hey Metallica, Slash here," says the guitar god in his own video clip. "I just wanted to tell you guys congratulations on 30 years, you guys have been my favorite heavy metal band ever since 1986 when I saw you opening for Ozzy Osbourne and playing "For Whom the Bell Tolls.' You guys kick ass and you deserve it, more power to you. Cheers!"
More congratulations came in from Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and others. Modern-rockers Green Day turned in a cover of the Misfits' 'Hybrid Moments' in their video, ending the tune with singer Billie Joe Armstrong singing a simple "Thirty years of Metallica!"

The chances of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet running Android apps officially always seemed unlikely, and even when a RIM representative showed off the tablet doing so at MWC, it was still hard to believe such a feature would make it to the production model.
However, RIM have sent out a press release and made it official, the PlayBook will indeed be able to run both BlackBerry and Android apps! The wording goes something like this: developers will have to port over apps, a process described as being 'quick and easy', which will then appear in an optional 'app player' all ready for use.
So how quick and easy is this process? Repackage, code sign and submit is how RIM phrase it, which certainly doesn't sound too difficult. The 'app players' will be separate downloads from BlackBerry App World and is a 'safe area' for Android and BlackBerry Java apps to run.
Rather than accepting apps designed to run on Android 3.0, RIM say Android 2.3 apps will be the ones available for conversion, which isn't a bad thing given the massive amount already available.
This is a significant step for RIM, and it should make the PlayBook even more attractive to buyers. The PlayBook is set for release in the USA on the 19 April, and a little later in the UK.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of slamming a man's face into a concrete floor has been indicted in Utah.
Jon Martinson Jr. is accused of violating federal laws and constitutional rights that forbid the use of unreasonable force by law enforcement officers.
ICE is responsible for removing immigrants who are in the country illegally, but the indictment does not detail the man's immigration status in July 2013, when the incident occurred.
The man is only identified by his initials in the indictment.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1n4hSWI ) that Martinson is scheduled to be arraigned July 29 in Salt Lake City federal court after the indictment was handed up last month.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — A new site Google Inc. set up to comply with a top European court's "right to be forgotten" ruling has received more than 12,000 requests, reaching a peak of 20 requests per minute, just hours after it went live, a source told MarketWatch.
Google GOOG, +0.23% created the site late Thursday after Europe's top court issued a controversial decision giving European residents the right to make Internet search engines remove links to online content deemed irrelevant, outdated or inappropriate.
Google also set up an advisory committee, which includes Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia, to examine issues related to the European court's ruling.
"Our role is not just to recommend things to Google, but also to recommend to the public and to legislators," Wales told The Wall Street Journal. "Hopefully it will be a group that will be looking for some solutions that are a step forward that people on all sides can agree will be a useable set of recommendations."
Fraud quickly emerged as a key concern. On the site, Google requires a complainant not just to explain the reason for wanting to take down a link, but also proof of a person's identity.
"Google often receives fraudulent removal requests from people impersonating others, trying to harm competitors, or improperly seeking to suppress legal information," the company said on the site.
That requirement pointed to a major headache for Google and other Internet companies face as they try to comply with the European court's ruling.
They need to set up a workable system to deal with what could be a deluge of requests for links to be taken down, one that can effectively filter out fraudulent requests.
A source familiar with Google's plan told MarketWatch that the requests will have to be handled by people as they cannot be processed using algorithms. It's an unclear how many people Google will have to assign to deal with the requests.
The potential for abuse is enormous, privacy groups said.
"Once a company enters the fray of a take-down regime, they need to consistency, authentication, due process and the right to appeal," Lee Rowland, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union told MarketWatch. "And of course, that system needs to be protected against false take-down requests and attempts to game the system for private benefit."
Danny O'Brien, international director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, called the situation faced by Google and other Internet companies operating in Europe "a nightmare."
"All this has to be done by hand," he told MarketWatch. "There's no magic algorithm that will save Google time in this area."
The big irony is, he added, the ruling could end up hurting small European companies that do not have Google's resources in setting up a system for "right-to-be-forgotten" requests."
Still, the ACLU's Rowland said the work for Google is "unfathomable," which could force the company and perhaps other Internet companies to adopt measures that restrict free speech.
"This could simply be too resource-intensive for them to track down and authenticate every take-down request and as a result they may err on the side of taking down fully-protected speech," she said. "And that's genuinely a tragedy both for free speech and the future of the Internet."

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- U.S. Rep. Nita M. Lowey, D-Westchester/Rockland, the senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, recently called for greater safety measures to be implemented at the Indian Point nuclear facility in Buchanan.
Lowey's statement came on the heels of a recent Nuclear Regulatory Commission report that detailed potential risk to the two nuclear plants in the event of an earthquake.
"This report from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission confirms once again my long-held belief that Indian Point is in need of major improvements and, in general, nuclear power facilities need tough, thorough oversight," Lowey said in a statement. "I urge Entergy to thoroughly complete the analysis and evaluations included in the NRC's findings as quickly as possible.

Kentucky has less than 1 percent of the unaccompanied children crossing into the United States.
New federal data published Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families showed Kentucky received 237 of the more than 30,000 children who have been released to sponsors this year through July 7.
Texas, New York, Florida and California received the most, accounting for 46 percent of the children received during that time.
Unaccompanied children have been fleeing violence in Central America and crossing into the U.S. because they believe they will be allowed to stay.
Children are placed in government shelters and then released to sponsors while they go through deportation proceedings. In many cases, the sponsors are the children's parents, other relatives or a family friend.

Cooler Master V10 Review
Have you been looking to upgrade your processor's cooling solution? Are you big into overclocking your system but temperatures on your stock or other aftermarket cooler are not where you want them to be? Maybe you are just beginning to start in on the overclocking process and you would like to keep your temperatures in check and not worry about them bottlenecking your overclock. Well, you are looking in the right direction. Cooler Master, one of the most trusted names when it comes to processor cooling, has launched one of its long awaited coolers, the V10. The Cooler Master V10 CPU cooler is not only a large cooler that is going to be able to cool a large amount of heat coming from your processor, it is also going to be able to keep your RAM sticks cool with its extended arm. What makes the V10 different from others out on the market? It has to do with the TEC module that it has installed in it to help even more with the temperatures. I am curious to see how this cooler is going to be able to compare to the others that are out on the market.
Closer Look:
When you take a look at the packaging for the Cooler Master V10, a few different thoughts are going to cross your mind; the first one being the fact that the package looks very elegant, as it does not have words and crazy graphics plastered all over the front, all it has is the V10 logo in the lower left hand corner, the LGA1366 logo and the Core i7 logos in the right hand corner with the purple Thermalfusion 400 TIM logo above that. There is a large image of the Cooler Master V10 displayed on the front of the package to keep the consumer interested and allows them to see what the cooler looks like before they purchase it. There is a sentence at the bottom that reads "200+W Air Cooling With Hybrid TEC" at the bottom, which gives you the impression that the cooler is going to be able to cool a large amount of heat. The back of the package is set up very professionally as well; the left hand of the package is where you are going to find all of the main features that Cooler Master wanted you to know about, while the left side is where you are going to find all of the specifications about the V10 cooler. There are a few images and diagrams located at the bottom to help describe how large the cooler is and where all of the features are located. The two sides of the package are extremely simplistic, there is an image of the V10 with a list of the different processors that the V10 is able to cool.
When you open up the package, you are going to see that Cooler Master has taken quite a bit of care in the actual packaging of the V10 to ensure its safety during the shipping process. Inside of the cardboard outer package there is a molded piece of foam that is going to hold the V10 cooler along with all of the accessories in place to ensure they will not move around and suffer any damages.
Well, now that we know how the cooler is packaged, let's see what goodies come with it. Of course, there is going to be some documentation, such as the installation manual to make sure you know how to install it and which mounting hardware pieces you need to use for which socket. There is also a warranty card, along with the ThermalFusion thermal interface material sample. There is a bag of screws and nuts that you will need to use to install the mounting hardware and all of the brackets to the base of the cooler. The mounting hardware that is included with the Cooler Master V10 is the Intel LGA775 along with the LGA1366 mounting hardware, which makes this cooler something to look for as you will be able to upgrade to the newer Core i7 processor series from Intel and have a cooler to mount to it. There is also the green side of the things, AMD's universal mounting hardware is included, making this cooler able to be installed on virtually any setup.
Now that we know how the Cooler Master V10 is packaged and what accessories come with it, it's time to take a detailed look at it and see what she is made of.

Google isn't the only one trying to make smart glasses the next hot device trend. New York-based Vuzix has just unveiled a hands-free smart device that comes with an integrated "virtual display" eyepiece, WiFi and bluetooth connectivity, a 720p HD camera, and motion sensors. Set to rival Google Glass, the M100 smart glasses can sync up to your smart phone or tablet. The device is great for those who need to be connected to the cloud all the time, but it could also be helpful for certain jobs, where attention to detail and using your hands are really important – say surgery or flying an airplane.
PREVIOUSLY ON ECOUTERRE: Google's Augmented-Reality Glasses Make New York Fashion Week Debut
Vuzix's M100 is the next generation of the company's augmented reality glasses with a paired down design. Basically a large Bluetooth headset, the M100 packs in all sorts of tools to keep you connected to the Cloud at all times without your hands. Running on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich, the smart glasses allow the wearer to text, watch video, take pictures, read and send email, navigate, and listen to audio as well as interact with your smart phone or tablet. It basically does everything your smart phone does, it's just connected to your face.
The eyepiece, which is not really like glasses at all, features a 1280×720-pixel WQVGA resolution display which is like looking at a screen from 14 inches away. Battery life is expected to extend for 8 hrs, but only 2 with the display on and only 1 with the display and camera on. Vuzix is trying to be the leader in personal augmented reality and is set to offer the M100 smart glasses by mid 2013. Right now they are listing the early production model of the headset at $999. You can get a first hand look at the glasses at CES in Las Vegas in 2013 from January 8th to the 11th.

This white paper, co-authored by VMware and SanDisk®, examines the current storage problems VMware Virtual SAN addresses – storage silo inefficiencies, limited storage silo elasticity, storage silo complexity, and escalating storage silo costs – and how to avoid these problems.
Every so often, technology change goes beyond taking just another evolutionary step and makes a major leap in capabilities. When that occurs, IT experiences a paradigm shift in how services are provided and work is completed. IT paradigm shifts are still relatively rare, showing up once or twice a decade. However, when they occur, IT processes change in a significant and permanent way; IT responsibilities also change; new administrator skills and knowledge are mandated; and as typically the case, the hardware and software changes too. Those changes are hardly painless, but the advantages, results, and benefits are too good not to do it, whereas failing to adopt the new paradigm gives an advantage to competitors who do.
VMware Virtual SAN has the distinct earmarks of being one of those IT paradigm shifts. Before the release of VMware Virtual SAN, there was unprecedented interest in VMware's new server-side storage solution. VMware had more than 12,000 beta customers. Put that in perspective. Most business beta customers are measured in single digits or low double digits, not tens of thousands. Of those beta customers, more than 95% of them recommend it and more than 90% believe VMware Virtual SAN will have a similar impact on storage that VMware vSphere has on compute. VMware Virtual SAN changes how virtual machine (VM) storage is allocated or provisioned, consumed, managed, operated, protected, prioritized per VM Quality (QoS), troubleshot, and even acquired. It shifts VM storage control/management from the storage administrator to the VM administrator by making VM storage a process within the VMware vCenter. The implications are enormous. Yet, as the savvy IT manager knows, there is "no free lunch." As with all new technology paradigms, there are the certain "challenges" awaiting the uninitiated.
This white paper will examine the problems VMware Virtual SAN addresses, how it solves those problems, and the likely challenges one would encounter, and how to avoid them.
There are four storage silo problems VMware Virtual SAN solves well: storage silo inefficiencies, limited storage silo elasticity, storage silo complexity, and escalating storage silo costs.
Problems with Inefficient Storage Silos
Storage silos are those individual islands of storage that have been part of data center hierarchies for several decades. It's been that way ever since data storage was separated out from the server hosts and shared between many of them. Over time, storage silos evolved, becoming more specialized and filling a variety of different niches. Storage Area Network (SAN) storage silos were allocated for fast, active, shared data. Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) storage silos became the choice when simplicity, lower cost, or application-specific high performance (flash) were required. Networked-Attached Storage (NAS) storage silos fill the role of lower cost file/unstructured data storage that has good enough performance for low-value application.
Since storage silos have worked so well for a very long time, then what's wrong with storage silos? Answering that question requires a little understanding of how IT processes worked during that timeframe. In that not-too-distant past, storage administrators knew with pretty good certainty approximately when they needed to support impending new or changed server workloads. They knew well in advance when they had to deliver storage provisioning, performance Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with QoS, and when to bring it online. Storage administrators had plenty of time to prepare for it, usually measured in weeks. Even promotions that would impact their storage or seasonal peaks such as those that occur in retail were known well in advance. That advance knowledge gave them plenty of time to put together a plan and work their plan.
What's changed is that planning window no longer exists. Server virtualization and 7x24x365 global markets have radically altered the landscape. Advance notice that was measured in weeks is now measured in the amount of time it takes a VM administrator to deploy a new virtual machine. If the IT organization is still using the silo paradigm, the VM administrator is going to be seriously frustrated. There is little tolerance on waiting days or even weeks for the storage administrator to provide the storage capacity and performance allocation they require. Nor is there much in the way of understanding why it takes so long.
VM administrator frustration may be an inconvenience, but lost revenue and market share are a bit more serious. IT processes designed for a different era means competitors are getting a leg up for new products and services time-to-market. In addition, there is an inability to automatically adapt to dynamically changing circumstances in real time. For example: a social media promotion, viral video, or marketing campaign. Frustrated VM administrators might be ignored (although that leads to higher turnover and training costs) but frustrated customers equal lost revenue and market share.
Storage Silo Elasticity Problem
Storage elasticity is the ability of the storage to expand or contract capacity and/or performance based on policies tied to demand at any given point in time. By definition one silo is ignorant of the others and cannot take advantage of unallocated capacity pools or under-utilized performance from another silo. This is also true for their cache, IOPS, throughput, data protection, data reconstruction, or anything else. They're limited to their silo. Accessing resources between storage silos generally requires human administrator intervention, and is manually labor-intensive with lots of aggravation at no additional charge. The results are quite expensive due to over-provisioning of capacity and performance, excessive storage administrator hours from processes that are inconvenient, time-consuming, and intrinsically difficult. Storage silos are generally not elastic and there is definitely no elasticity between silos.
Storage Silo Complexity Problem
Storage silo management is increasingly complex and getting more complicated, not less. Each and every storage silo has its own operations, management, data protection, troubleshooting, hot fixes, patches, upgrade cycle, and tech refresh/data migration cycle. And data often has to move between these storage silos, creating unnecessary duplicate copies. That's too much manual labor. Consider the task of SLA monitoring and troubleshooting. Lack of visibility end-to-end (application, hypervisor, host I/O, network, storage silo controllers, flash SSDs, and HDDs) makes SLA monitoring and troubleshooting an inexact process at best. It's hard to correct SLA problems when the problem is not visible. It's even harder to prove SLAs are being met.
Huge Problems with Storage Silo Escalating Costs
Storage silos are expensive in both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenditures (OpEx). Even as the cost per GB has been declining (albeit at a slower rate in recent years than in the past), storage costs continue to rise at an alarming rate. Many analysts point to the exponential rise in the amount of data being stored. Make no mistake that is a major contributing factor. However, less noted is the costly impact of those inefficient, inelastic, and complicated storage silos.
Those inefficiencies increase over-provisioning, requiring the purchase of more storage than is required. That over-purchasing means higher software costs (tied to capacity); infrastructure costs in cables, switches, floor tiles, rack space, power, cooling, and maintenance; administration costs in implementations, operations, management, data migrations, and especially support; as well as an overall reduction in organizational productivity (idle workers waiting on provisioning), lost revenue (late time to market), higher training costs (increased employee turnover from frustration), and market competitiveness.
Storage silo inelasticity aggravates the amounts of over-provisioning and over-purchasing required. Makes the previously discussed cost accelerators worse.
Storage silo complexity means extensive additional system or ecosystem software. There's software for management, provisioning, virtualization, data protection (snapshot, replication, Continuous Data Protection (CDP), etc.), tiering, QoS and more. The software is limited most of the time to a specific storage silo requiring it to be purchased for each and every storage silo escalating costs. Those software costs are typically tied to capacity. As capacity grows, so does the licensing (subscription or perpetual plus maintenance) of that software. The required over-provisioning just exacerbates the problem. In other words, storage silos make escalating storage costs far worse than they have to be.
All of these problems taken together are making life disproportionately stressful and miserable for storage administrators, VM administrators, CIOs, and CFOs. These are not problems that can be resolved by throwing more people at them, even if there were more skilled people. Something has to change. In the current IT world of accelerating change, storage silos are unsustainable. That is where VMware Virtual SAN comes into play and why VMware vSphere users are so enthusiastic about VMware Virtual SAN.
VMware Virtual SAN is based on a hypervisor-incorporated distributed object store seamlessly integrated with VMware vSphere Storage-Based Policy-Based Management (SPBM). This delivers hypervisor-converged compute and storage infrastructure in a single platform. VMware Virtual SAN utilizes flash for performance optimization and caching, combining it with a distributed algorithm to ensure reliability and data protection.
VMware Virtual SAN starts solving storage silo problems by eliminating the silos. It does this by abstracting and pooling physical storage resources to create flexible logical pools of storage in the virtual data plane. When used in conjunction with the VMware stack, an administrator can utilize VM-level data services such as replication, snapshot caching, high availability, DRS, SRM, high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, and more on both commodity storage media (flash SSDs and HDDs), as well as storage systems. Then VMware Virtual SAN enables an application-controlled common policy-based control plane. That control plane captures each of the VM's storage requirements with simple intuitive policies that provide performance and capacity elastically, on demand based on the SLAs. And those policies follow each VM through its respective life cycle regardless of the infrastructure that VM resides or ends up upon. Virtual SAN's policy-based management dynamically adjusts to the underlying storage pools to ensure application-driven policies are compliant and SLAs are met.
In plain English, Virtual SAN does for storage what VMware vSphere pioneered for compute. Virtual SAN makes it simpler to implement, manage, control, operate, provision, protect, move, upgrade, as well as keep storage online and available. Virtual SAN's high degree of policy automation minimizes additional VM administrator knowledge and skills requirement, thus enabling the reduction in CapEx and OpEx of storage under management of Virtual SAN.
VMware Virtual SAN basically provides vSphere users with much greater scalability and performance at considerably lower price points in a far simpler package. Virtual SAN does it by placing an object layer above embedded VMware vSphere host flash drives and HDDs, combining them into storage pools, using the flash as read and write cache/buffer, and providing enterprise storage class services such as snapshots, replication, autonomic healing, and more. As Virtual SAN evolves, support for an all-flash configuration where no HDDs are used is also a configuration option for even lower data access latencies.

Virtual SAN requires VMware vSphere and can cluster from a minimum of three to 64 VMware vSphere host nodes, delivering initial VMware Virtual SAN specifications up to approximately 6,400 VMs, up to 90,000 IOPS per host, and 8.8 petabytes (PB). Additional federation of up to 10 of those clusters expands those numbers by 10x.
Virtual SAN is deployable prepackaged as "VMware Virtual SAN Ready Nodes" (certified and validated via VMware's hardware compatibility list or HCL) and as hyper-converged systems called VMware EVO:RAIL™ or EVO:RACK™. VMware EVO:RAIL is strictly constrained in configuration limited to four host nodes with 400 VMs or 1,000 VDs. VMware EVO:RACK is more flexible, scaling to more nodes. Prepackaged Virtual SAN is simpler to deploy, maintain, troubleshoot, and make changes. But prepackaged solutions have more limitations in components, flexibility and ability to modify. The added convenience typically carries a higher cost.
Virtual SAN is also available via as a DIY (Do-It-Yourself). DIY Virtual SAN is considerably more flexible, adaptable, and noticeably lower cost. However, DIY requires a significantly higher level of expertise across multiple disciplines including vSphere, storage, networking, and system integration.
Both Virtual SAN deployments leverage off-the-shelf commodity hardware, radically reducing storage costs and complexities while potentially eliminating or at least mitigating storage silos. Considering that the drives embedded in servers cost from 50%-90% less than drives in storage systems (depending on the type of system), it doesn't take much calculation to see the savings. Another significant part of Virtual SAN's cost savings comes from the VM automation of on-demand provisioning, elasticity, replication, and data healing that removes many storage administration tasks.
Most IT administrators are skeptics and rightly so, based on their real-world experience. The conventional wisdom and experience says there must be a catch. Conventional wisdom in this case happens to be correct, there is.
The crux of taking advantage of Virtual SAN's embedded host storage effectiveness and cost savings is its use of flash storage. Virtual SAN host-based pools in fact require flash storage, making heavy use of that flash storage as cache. Flash storage has significant advantages over HDDs that make it ideally suited for VMware vSphere and especially Virtual SAN. The advantages come primarily from much higher random IOPS (up to four orders of magnitude more than an equivalent HDD), much lower random read latencies, noticeable lower random write latencies, less than half the power and cooling consumption of HDDs, and recoverable versus non-recoverable bit errors.
But there are many common misunderstandings about flash storage that can and do lead to a bad Virtual SAN experience. These are the flash storage challenges. Understanding these challenges requires an explanation of flash storage technology.
Flash Storage Form Factor and Interface Differences
It is crucial to recognize that not all of the flash storage drives are created equally. There are differences in performance as measured in random IOPS and throughput, ability to handle errors, latencies, P-E (Program-Erase) cycles or wear life, wear leveling, capacity, cost per GB, IOPS per GB, Mean time between failure (MTBF), and especially flash NAND quirks such as write cliff and read disturb.
Flash drives currently1 come in three primary form factors: DDR3 DIMMs, PCIe cards, and SAS/SATA HDD form factors (3.5" and 2.5"). Generally, flash storage latency decreases the closer it is to a VM or application. DDR3 flash storage DIMMs will have the lowest latency because they are the closest, sitting on the memory channel. PCIe flash storage cards are next because there is the added latency of the PCIe controller and the contention on the PCIe channel. That's followed by SAS/SATA because of the SAS/SATA controller on the PCIe channel. The flash storage that has the highest round-trip latency is the hybrid flash array and the all-flash array. Those arrays have the added latency of the server adapters, transceivers, cables, storage network switches, network over-subscription, array adapters, array controllers, array backend to the flash drives and speed of light latency over the physical distance.
There are other differences between flash storage drives such as NAND quality, NAND die size, flash controller CPU, controller memory, quality assurance, and integration. Each of these can have a major impact on the performance and life cycle of that flash drive. Which means there are differences between vendors. A SLC, eMLC, or MLC drive from two different vendors with similar spec sheets can be quite different in the Virtual SAN real world of performance, reliability, and durability. Some vendors push first-out-of-box (FOB) performance specs versus the real-world steady-state performance (flash drive performance after all of the blocks have been erased at least once.) This is terribly misleading. Steady-state performance is as much as 90% lower performance than FOB and all flash drives experience a difference. Buying on FOB performance is a recipe for disappointment.
The Three Most Critical VIRTUAL SAN Flash Storage Drive Challenges
There are three quite critical Virtual SAN flash storage drive challenges. Living with any one of them will result in very unhappy application owners. Living with all three can result in a career change. Each of these challenges results in missed service level agreements or operations, longer inconsistent response times, and consistent laborious, time-consuming troubleshooting and tuning.
Those three Virtual SAN flash storage drive challenges are:
1. Flash storage drive performance relative to virtual SAN storage pool VM workload requirements
This is one of the most common challenges. It comes from the mistaken perception that all flash storage drives, despite interface and/or form factors, are equivalent. As previously discussed, they are not. The challenge can occur both in underestimating latency and IOPS requirements and/or over-provisioning. Both have consequences.
Underestimating results could likely result in an unhappy application owner, as SLAs or SLOs (service level operations) would not be met, most likely because storage pool response times would be too high. This is most likely to occur when the VM applications require very low, consistent, and deterministic latencies to support performance-sensitive applications.
SAS/SATA flash storage drives may not the best fit for high-performance applications because of the requirement for very low, consistent, and deterministic latencies. Consistency is highly correlated to the number of controllers per GB. As flash drive densities increase–and make no mistake that is the emphasis for SAS/SATA storage drives–the amount of controller processing per-GB declines. This will cause a very wide variance in flash drive latencies and performance as seen by several production sites. As the limited number of controller processors per GB become a bottleneck there is increased contention for those controllers. This adds delays in both reads and writes. Best way to solve that contention bottleneck is to increase the number of controllers per GB in the flash drive. More controllers per GB eliminate that processing bottleneck.
Using PCIe flash acceleration for applications that don't necessarily require their performance as other consequences. There will be higher costs since these types of flash storage drives cost more per GB than SAS/SATA flash storage drives. Budgets tend to be finite. Buying the highest performing (and highest priced) flash storage drives for all Virtual SAN pools will cause less flash storage drives and capacity being acquired. This can result in not enough flash storage being available when it is most needed.
One of the smart advantages about Virtual SAN is that it allows different storage pools to utilize different flash storage drives. This facilitates some Virtual SAN storage pools to leverage the very-high-performance, low-latency, higher-cost flash storage drives while others use the lower performance and more cost-friendly SAS/SATA drives, enabling VMware administrators to strike the right price/performance/capacity balance for their VM workload demands.
2. Poor flash storage endurance: insufficient wear life and MTBFs (Mean Time Between Failures)
As previously stated, budgets are finite. Inadequate endurance and MTBFs mean flash storage drives have to be replaced more frequently. Sometimes this is covered under warranty. Sometimes it's not. In all cases it's a disruption requiring time and more ominously, an application outage.
Flash storage drives wear life and MTBF are directly correlated to the effectiveness of the vendor's quality assurance, testing, and its wear-leveling algorithms. There is a wide variance among the flash storage drives, vendors, and drive types. Rated MTBFs and proven production MTBFs can vary significantly.
3. Low quality NAND chips and software
Just as flash storage drives vary, so do NAND chips. Lower quality chips are supposed to be targeted at consumer products that are light on writes and heavy on reads such as thumb drives, smart phones, tablets, and MP3 players. This is because those chips do not have high P-E cycle rating or quality assurance. Regrettably it doesn't always work out that way. Some vendors attempt to use consumer grade NAND chips in business or enterprise-grade flash storage drives. They do so to save money, improve margins, and to be more competitive on price. Or they do it out of hubris believing they can make consumer-grade NAND chips the same quality as enterprise for a much lower price. Why they do it is irrelevant. The consequences for Virtual SAN users are not pretty. They end up with flash storage drives that end up failing sooner, or lose data, or perform at a rate lower than expected, or all the above.
Unsophisticated flash storage drive software is a different problem. Software algorithms that do not effectively manage wear life, write amplification, read disturb, garbage collection, write cliff, and ECC will noticeably and precipitously reduce VM application performance while increasing both data and drive failure rates. That is not something any IT organization wants. The use of low-quality flash storage drives in Virtual SAN storage pools is unsustainable. It ends up costing much more in capital expenditures, operating expenditures, down time, lost revenues, lost reputation and sweat labor than any possible savings experienced up front.
For over 26 years, SanDisk has been providing products that deliver superior performance and quality. That is just as true for SanDisk enterprise flash storage drives. Few flash storage drive vendors can provide the complete supply chain, integration, quality assurance, testing, and production-hardened results that SanDisk does today. From the NAND foundry to the flash storage controller, flash storage software, and complete flash storage drives, SanDisk owns and controls the entire supply chain. There is no finger pointing or hand-off confusion between vendors.
VMware Virtual SAN solves significant enterprise data center problems associated with storage silos. VMware Virtual SAN, powered by SanDisk, provides a simple solution to provision, manage, and share storage resources with highly predictable performance, elastic scalability and a lower TCO when compared to traditional storage systems. Getting the best experience possible out of Virtual SAN requires host-embedded flash storage drives (DIMM, PCIe, SAS, or SATA).
There are a few challenges to watch out for when choosing those flash storage drives including choosing the wrong flash storage for each Virtual SAN storage pool VM workload requirements, choosing flash storage drives with insufficient endurance, or choosing flash storage drives with poor quality NAND chips and/or software.

Guilty man? Alleged Ponzi schemer set to plead
Following in the footsteps of the biggest scam artist of all time, Bernard Madoff, an Albemarle County man accused of running a Ponzi scheme is also pleading guilty. Fifty-two-year old motorcycle racing enthusiast John M. Donnelly is scheduled to make the plea May 11 in federal court, according to the court docket.
The plea will come exactly two months after federal authorities raided Donnelly's downtown office on March 11 and arrested him on charges of wire fraud.
Donnelly allegedly swindled his motorcycle racing friends and teammates out of at least $11 million by using new investors' money to pay off older investors–- a scam known as a Ponzi. The scam collapsed when his main investor attempted to withdraw more money than Donnelly could produce.
A multi-agency investigation into Donnelly's misdeeds resulted in what appears to be a taped confession as Donnelly admits to an investor that he never actually invested any money at all.
Since his arrest, Donnelly, a husband and father of two, has been held at the Central Virginia Regional Jail in Orange. His attorney, John Davidson, declined comment.

He's pleading...something. Is Courtney sure it's "guilty"?
And just because he's pleading does not mean he's going to prison.
I fail to see how some poor schmuck that sells crack is worse than this guy. Unfortunately for this guy, the mandatory minimum sentences that are handed out for drug offenses have resulted in an increase in the sentencing for many white collar criminals. It's hard to justify not giving hard time to a guy that bilked his "friends" out of millions when American citizens are routinely given hard time for a few grams of drugs.
The only good thing coming out of this recession, is flushing out the rats.
So what did he do with the dough? 11 mill is alot to burn threw.
You gotta sleep in the bed you made brother.
I feel sorry for this family for having to go through all of this...
at least he wasn't a crack dealer, you know....?
I don't see how this is any better or worse than a drug addiction. All addictions eventually ruin ones life and treatment and prevention have not been a societal priority. Prison unfortunately is not the best place to turn ones life around. Some do manage and I hope Mr. Donnelly will.

LONG BEACH – The Long Beach Unified Board of Education today will consider closing Keller Elementary and Butler Middle schools, while reshuffling Roosevelt Elementary classes.
The board meets at 5 p.m. at 1515 Hughes Way.
Keller, the East Long Beach school at 7020 E. Brittain St., has about 360 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, making it one of the smallest schools in the district. Keller students would transfer next fall to nearby Burcham K-8 School, which has 589 students.
The Keller campus would then temporarily accommodate students from Newcomb K-8 School while Newcomb is being rebuilt over the next three years using Measure K school bonds.
In another possible reshuffling, the district staff has recommended that Butler eventually be closed.
The students at Roosevelt Elementary, which has about 1,000 students, would be transferred to Butler next school year as an interim campus while Roosevelt is being rebuilt with Measure K funds.
School officials said Roosevelt is an aging campus that originally opened in 1921.
The 625 students at Butler would then be moved to the new Nelson Middle School, which is nearing completion at 20th Street and Cherry Avenue in Signal Hill.
The school board reviewed information on the possible changes in a workshop last month.

Wouldn't it be great to have a personal nutrition assistant? An expert who stocked the fridge regularly with appetizing plates of fruit for snacks and vegetables ready to be tossed into meals? She'd keep the kitchen tidy and have at hand the best tools for making quick work of meal preparation.
With this kind of help, it would be so much simpler to focus on healthy eating.
But let's re-enter the real world. Since the vast majority of us don't have access to kitchen staff, if we're seriously committed to weight loss or maintaining a healthy weight we have to be our own kitchen assistant. For permanent success, it's an absolute requirement to get the area in order. So roll up your sleeves and refresh your own kitchen.
Put particular emphasis on five areas:
1. The fridge. This is vitally important. To ensure fresh vegetables and fruit comprise half the plate in most meals and snacks, they have to be easily accessible. Clean your fridge. Get rid of items you won't eat. Then start shopping for fresh produce at least twice each week. Put it away in an organized fashion. Keep a crisper of washed and cut up carrots and celery. Stock at least three additional vegetables and three kinds of fruit for use each week. Keep a shopping list handy to add items as you start to run low.
2. Canned goods. There are several canned goods worth having on hand for use in healthy recipes. Particularly good choices are salmon, tuna and sardines, canned tomatoes, chickpeas, black beans, lentils and other legumes, and canned fruit packed in its own juice. There are also poor choices: clear out anything that's of low quality and unworthy of your improved eating habits, including salty canned pastas and soups.
3. Grain products. Take time to sort through your pasta, rice, bread, cereals and crackers. Ensure most are whole grain and supply at least two grams of fibre per serving. For cereal, check that the sugar is below eight grams per serving and fat is less than two grams. If crackers, cookies and chips are too easily relied on for snacks, stop buying them. These foods often supply excess sodium, and the more salt you eat, the more you want. Replace these snacks with more nutritious ones like novel tropical fruits, fresh vegetables with a tasty low-fat dip, toasted almonds or pecans.
4. The freezer. Whether it's massive or just the one in your fridge, the freezer is a vital tool in a healthy eating plan. Keep frozen blueberries, peaches and other fruit for adding to smoothies and healthy desserts, a variety of whole grain bread products such as sliced bread, English muffins or tortillas, lean meats like chicken and fish, and a selection of frozen vegetables with no added sauces. If you haven't discovered Brussels sprouts, they're one of the best frozen veggie options.
5. The tools. It's tough to eat the requisite quantity of vegetables and fruit if your preparation equipment is lousy. Invest in a new, rustproof vegetable peeler, a clean cutting board and a sharp paring knife or two. A decent non-stick pan, a couple of saucepans and roasting pans are also required tools for healthy eating. Parchment paper is worth using for simple clean up after roasting. Storage supplies are other key tools. Items like plastic containers with lids and plastic or foil wrap make it easy to store leftovers or pack along to fuel a busy day.
