Cost to maintain outfall canal pumps could fall on city
~Maya Rodriguez
~Fix the Pumps has the most detailed and critical series of Engineering Explanations on these Pumps issues --and the Corps "Falsehoods" (not Editilla's choice of word).
Please go there and make sure to fang back down the posts.
Not only is the data presented pristine, but as well the Engineer author, and Our Big Herolero, Matt McBride, lays it all out with almost sardonic poignancy, rapier wit and Drew Brees' accuracy.
Sandy Sayz ~Sandy Rosenthal, Executive Director of Levees.Org founded in December 2005 after the flood.
~Editilla Rotellas~ Everyone knows we love levees.org but are not a "member" of that group. I mean, uhg really, we wouldn't want to taint they skins don't'cha know. But in the course of hanging this Ladder every morning we employ Dozens of different aggregate search engines to trawl for Nola News across the country, not just in the City the Corps Forgot.
I study the flow of Nola Info through news aggregates like the wind through spider webs in rain forests, perturbations along our nervous systems, or in the case of ASCECORPS the smell of fresh roadkill if you will. So this item popped up on our 2nd cup of coffee from NJ.com, which is part of the same Corporate Family Affair that now holds nola.com by its genitalia like Big Rufus up on Cell Block #9, to wit: Advanced Internet.
It lists all of Mrs. Rosenthal's comments on that "Network".
If you follow the article links there you will of course find yer'oh'so humble Editilla too, tossing jarts from the back hand path, ranting, raving, drooling pithy retart. But Mrs. Rosenthal's comments when taken over time like this fall consistently, tenaciously on the side of patience and accuracy.
So here's the deal:
If Y'all want to Ax Sandy A Question, then leave it in the Comments Section here on da'Ladder.
Bet yer'Sweet Ass I will moderate the questions, so any of your typically sticky nola.com Corps'ass'troll turfer'spew will never see the light of day.
However, if we do get Real Inquiries then I will forward them to Mrs. Rosenthal and see if she responds.
If she does respond then we will hang it here under a New Post Thingy: Ask Sandy.
Doesn't that sound like fun?!?!!
She may not respond, ya'neva know, especially since we haven't run this little game show by her and don't know if she follows your New Orleans Ladder. It could be kinda like writing to the Dear Abby of Safe Levees .
Yeah! That's the Ticket!

Money to help replace Terrebonne water structure
~Nikki Buskey
~The repair project may solve two problems for the Terrebonne Levee District. The fix will restore a gate that keeps salt water from intruding and killing wetlands in the Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area. But with a beefed-up design, the gate also will be one of the first environmental structures added to the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system that will allow water to flow through the wall of levees. Thirteen of the structures will be added throughout the levee system.
