~“It’s awful late in the game,” said Sandra Stokes, spokeswoman for the Foundation for Historical Louisiana, a preservationist group that favors restoring Charity Hospital, “It would have been nice to study the plans” before the meeting.
Andrew Thomas, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said the LSU designs were posted at 10:30 a.m., eight hours before the meeting began.

Plaintiffs wrap up their case in MRGO trial~Cain Burdeau
~"I think, today, that the corps and the steamboat association should be indicted for murder.
That's how I feel about the whole thing."

MRGO - USA signed waiver of rights to seek disquali- fication of counsel ~slabbedExQuixotic Corps' own Sancho Pansy bends over another windmill, would have us accept more Risk instead of Better Engineering! ~Nameless Tim Strikes Again!
~Editilla Rotellas~ As Nameless Tim Ruppert seems loathe to post poor old Editilla's comments where he drops his little pissives... our submitted comments below.
Funny though, and just so'z'yaz know I didn't just find this cowtard stuck on the bottom of my shoe, it was his comment printed on your New Orleans Ladder, a full year before the MRGO trial, that brought this Co'Intel'Bo and his professional spin- filtration in front of Editilla's train in the first place.
That is when this pellucid spincter showed up on my Fey'dar.
Go Fish... perchaps we wee'd in little Timmy's cool aid.
~Tim, you're the engineer here so you do the math: if your air bags are improperly built and wrongly installed then your chances of survival in a crash are greatly reduced, particularly if your actions have been dependent on the reasonable expectation those air bags are legit. You can build your air bags as high as you want, they can be guaranteed to overtop... but if they are built wrong and fail, that has nothing to do with potential risks.
That is just one thing that the NAE Report leaves out. I've read it twice so far, and am half-way through the IPET but that mother is a 9000 pound bear.
This report leads one to believe that the problem with IPET is one of accepting inherent risks. That is incorrect and you know it. You work for the Corps. You know this. The problem with IPET is systemic substandard engineering in building our flood protection, the corrupted methods of reviewing that catastrophic failure and the attempt to reframe that as Inherent Risk. There are many things which this report misses, but that is the most glaring to me thus far.
Your entire Narrative of Risk Appeasement rests solely on the notion of real, sound, competent, believable engineering. However, your employers, the Corps of Engineers, do not fit that bill. Indeed your entire system of project engineering has proven itself time and again to Not deliver safety.
That is what the NAE report leaves out.
Thank you,

Harry Shearer: Obama 100 day window of opportunity closes on Louisiana~Lacoastpost
~"Although Mr. Shearer doesn’t speculate on a possible connection between our governor’s recent statements hostile to the new administration and our not receiving special post-Katrina resources, it’s very hard not to connect the dots.
It may or may not be significant that the president was hosting a town hall meeting in our upriver sister city of St. Louis on this special day, rather than at Jackson Square in New Orleans."

Inside the Mind of Mencia
~Greg LaRose~Comedian Carlos Mencia is on a mission when it comes to people still upset with his jokes about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. “I’ve got to teach New Orleans that the comedian Carlos is different from the human being Carlos,” Mencia said.
“My take on it is, I think black people, you’re f---ing funny. You’re hilarious,” Mencia said during a late 2005 concert. “You will get on a bus to go to Million Man March, but you won’t get on a bus to get away from Katrina.”Saints in New Orleans until 2025
