GravatarFEMA Pulls Out of Lower Ninth
Agency Calls for Troops, Reporting Threats of Violence

By Spencer S. Hsu
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 3, 2005; A14



The Federal Emergency Management Agency pulled all its workers out of New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward yesterday after threats of violence and planned to request additional police or National Guard support, a FEMA spokeswoman said.

A spokeswoman for Mayor C. Ray Nagin said the police commander for the district knew of no incidents or threat complaints.

The Lower Ninth Ward was reopened Thursday; it was the last neighborhood in the city to remain closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Residents, who had been limited to bus tours, were allowed to reenter homes, inspect damage and retrieve items but not stay in the area, which still lacks electricity.

But U.S. Army Corps of Engineers workers near levees and FEMA workers -- who were on hand to help remove debris, set up disaster service centers and coordinate relief -- received numerous threats, said FEMA spokeswoman Nicol Andrews . About 20 FEMA workers were withdrawn from the area, Andrews said.

"It's unfortunate that threats of violence would be made against anyone, as we all work together to recover from this disaster," Andrews said. "The first priority is to protect and ensure the safety of FEMA workers. There are a lot of employees working hard . . . to help folks return to their homes and ensure they are receiving the assistance they are eligible for under the law."

Andrews said local FEMA workers planned to seek an increased presence by local or federal law enforcement or Guard troops before resuming their duties.

But Tami Frazier, a spokeswoman for Nagin, said the New Orleans Police Department commander in charge of the area reported no incidents, complaints or removal of anyone for making threats. "We have stated . . . that we would have guards out there and police officers escorting people during this time," Frazier said, "but there has not been an increase in police or guardsmen."

One relief worker in the region said an angry resident berated a Corps of Engineers employee before delivering a threat to the effect of "I'm going to go get my gun, and I'm going to kill you." Federal agents have arrested six people in the New Orleans area in recent weeks for making threats against FEMA workers, who have been advised against wearing clothing with the agency logo in public.

A New Orleans Police spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

You gotta put points on the board. That's the key to winning.


GravatarEvening, all.


Sorry, got nothing else at the

GravatarI have just finished the second nap of the day.

GravatarYou know what I learned from the football announcers today? That you can't turn the ball over and you need first downs to have success.


Verily!!

It helps not to suck, too.


GravatarAnd you can't put those points on the board if you don't show up to play.

You gotta show up to play.

a connection is very important.

as my bud says "in the future, everyone will be in the tube, or out of the tube"

jebus, that 9th ward story is disturbing, and i'm not exactly worried about the fema employs. i'm not unworried about them, but this is how bad things begin.

my guess is in the 9th ward they are probably not in the tube.


GravatarYou know what I learned from the football announcers today?

That you just have to keep the ball moving?

That it's all about time on the clock?

Political Storm Clouds Over Jean Schmidt
by Joe Gandelman

Her comments calling John Murtha a coward (then it turning out that the person who she said told her to deliver that message on the House floor basically repudiated her version) did not go over well even in the GOP. Robert Novak:
Newly elected Rep. Jean Schmidt of Ohio, excoriated by Democrats for intimating that Rep. John Murtha is a coward, faces a possible Republican primary challenge next year from former Rep. Bob McEwen.


GravatarCold here, tonight. Winter is not my favorite time of year. That's all I'm saying.

GravatarWell, I seem to have killed the thread below --
@ 12.03.05 - 6:13 pm, Little Brøther said,
"Now, Moonbootica, don't be flogging that Oxfam site again!

You know how perplexed I become about British currency.

In fact, I'll give you half-a-sovereign and a fistful of shillings to leave off at once!"

So I had to share!
"British currency? You've come to the right monk!

Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two Ha'pennies = One Penny. Three Pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling (or Bob). Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. One Crown = Five Shillings. Four half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalizing the currency for a long time because they thought it would be too complicated. This is true."


GravatarOne relief worker in the region said an angry resident berated a Corps of Engineers employee before delivering a threat to the effect of "I'm going to go get my gun, and I'm going to kill you."

GravatarI'm enjoying my new vacuum cleaner way too much.
four legs good


Just finished. It was my only counter-entropic action so far today.

If one is careful not to scrape, there are many interesting things to vacuum besides the floors. Amazing the number of flatish surfaces in a house that harbor dust. Even ceilings.

Ahh, I see. Use it in good humor!


GravatarWinter is not my favorite time of year.

Hecate, it used to be my favorite time of year, I swear to you. I loved bundling up and hiking in the snow, catching flakes on my tongue, deeply breathing the crisp air. I've camped in the snow ~ it's a rewarding experience.

But not so much, now.


GravatarI tried to nap, but couldn't get to sleep. I was up way way too late last night.

cbsnews had an amazing report last night about people i think in mississippi who are still living in tents/cars next to their destroyed homes. while across the street (literally) are parked fema trailers sitting locked and unused.

certainly because of cbs' poking around, one of the tent families they profiled was able to finally get access to one; the woman living in her car is still there -- fema didn't have her registered.


GravatarThis 3-5 inches. Where? In NYC?


GravatarNYMary, I read all about your cookie-baking this morning. After rolling out of bed, I spent the day trying to get the house decorated and doing some cleaning.

GravatarVicki - I don't know what to tell you. Some people have better experiences than I have had with Comcast.

I love it dearly when it's working. When I went back to dial-up this summer, it was brutal. When my connection is running, I can do things I never could do on dial-up - all videos run, for instance. I'd say it's worth it.

Ask around your area, if you know anyone who is on Comcast. See what their experience is.


GravatarTom Engelhardt has a brilliant piece in Asia Times.

Its conclusion, but you read the whole article:

In the end, ignore (if you can) the whirlwind of withdrawal language that will turn all sorts of non or semi-withdrawal schemes into something other than what they are, and try to keep your eyes on those shoals of reality. This is not Vietnam, which happened in slow-time. This war, as the historian Marilyn Young claimed in its first weeks so few years ago, is "Vietnam on crack cocaine" and, whatever anyone is saying now, it's a fair bet that events will outpace all administration plans and fantasies in the explosive year to come.


GravatarAbiel, how the heck are you?

Gravatarpie,
Nah. I just love cokies, and it's a bonding thing with the teen. When they took Home Ec in 8th grade, she was apparently the only one in her class who could translate a recipe, use measuring equipment, and manage a stove.

GravatarNYMary, Did you dip the pretzels in chocolate and nuts? I love those.

Every year, I do a cookie baking thing with my friend and Audrey (it'll probably be next Saturday if Linda is in town). We do about 21 cookies from sun up until sun down. After that, we drink champagne.

I do the sugar cookie dought the night before. And then we start an assembly line and just make and bake the hell out of the oven.

It is really a good time.


Gravatarql - I wish I could gravitate up there. All my life I've wanted to live somewhere where it snows in the winter.

However, Mr. Tena really really really hates cold weather. I guess my summers in the mountains are a pretty nice consolation for no snow.

IRAQ: Strategic City Stabilization Initiative (SCSI)

http://www.fedgrants.gov/Applica...-001/ Grant.html

The United States Agency for International Development is seeking applications for an Assistance Agreement from qualified sources to design and implement a social and economic stabilization program impacting ten Strategic Cities, identified by the United States Government as critical to the defeat of the Insurgency in Iraq. The number of Strategic Cities may expand or contract over time. USAID plans to provide approximately $1,020,000,000 over two years to meet the objectives of the Program. An additional option year may be considered amounting to $300 million at the discretion of USAID. Funds are not yet available for this program.

Hey, how about recalling the troops and giving Iraq back to the Iraqis?

GravatarSome people have better experiences than I have had with Comcast.

I think part of the problem (and some of our techies may be able to speak more coherently about this than I) is that cable internet is at the mercy of the number of people accessing it at any given time. If there are few people on when you are, you're fine. If there's a surge in people logging on at the same time, you're screwed.

Gravatar Will somebody please rescue me from my family?


I was just wondering about yer absence.

NYMary,

You might tell thers about the side game of trying to send the penguin head first into the 200 marker, for a hole in one.
.


GravatarSure! Quakers are probably pretty easy to beat up.

Ah, but NTodd's Pa's Ma is baptist. And used to beat up boys when she was younger (a tomboy herself).

You want a cookie? I made shortbread.

Oooh, yeah. Especially if it's a magical cookie that will instantly teleport me to the safety of my own home.

Too. Much. Input.


GravatarAnd if I'm off track, I apologize, Mena.

Not at all - I asked! And Mary - sounds unpleasant, is it worse than that?


Gravatarmena - what are you worried about if you make flippy floppy with your friend? Worried about the friendship?

'Cause I say go for it.


GravatarAnybody out there evertried something like this and had it turn out okay?

The evening was great, but the month of being stalked after was not so fun.

Pie - I enjoyed it, lot of symbolism. It's really more for political junkies like us. And it's only an hour so it moves fast.


GravatarWill somebody please rescue me from my family?
The extended family is the norm throughout world history.


Gravatardave™: I think part of the problem (and some of our techies may be able to speak more coherently about this than I) is that cable internet is at the mercy of the number of people accessing it at any given time. If there are few people on when you are, you're fine. If there's a surge in people logging on at the same time, you're screwed.

That's part of it -- but less of a factor in practical terms than the quality and age of the infrastructure. Here in Gnashville, Comcast's stuff seems to be well-maintained, although in certain parts of town (where I have yet to live), I hear about frequent short-term outages, and a few that have lasted for days at a time.

Not sure which element is in question, but:

1. I married a woman 7 years older, and am damn glad I did. 12 might have been stretching it, to be honest, but I'm generally in favor of having older women rob my cradle. Over and over and over, if possible.

2. Friend sex is the second best kind of sex there is, excelled only by making-a-baby-on-purpose sex.

GravatarWhat a total shit-ass of a day I've had:

1) Knock-down drag-out Grand Guignol of a battle with the sibling. The kind that happens once a decade and involves screaming, multiple phone calls, and the dredging up of 15-year-old slights.

2) Total ClusterFuck of an afternoon, trying to meet with a group friends, all of whom used the availability of cell phones to behave rudely, e.g., saying they'll arrive at 3 PM, then calling every 15 minutes to say they'd be 15 minutes late, so that those of us who were not late spend more time listening to the others yammer on the cell phone than talking with each other.

3) Spectacularly rude woman cut me in line while I was trying to buy some chili powder.

4) Caught my friend's cold.

5) Will not get to see the Zombie movie.

Christmas is not safe, I tell you. I will take all my aggravation out on Christmas. I will destroy it.


GravatarFriendly Fire | Email | Homepage | 12.03.05 - 7:10 pm | #

no way to keep up, but i thought billmon was the author of vietnam on crack. guess not.

i just remember jessica matthews (don't even know who or what she is) very assertively and rather fearfully saying that democracy doesn't happen in a short, sweet little package. this is destined to be a mess. she was right.

tonite fox is reporting the "good news" but i watched the town hall meeting on niteline last nite. had to be held in the green zone, and while all the participants seemed optimistic about the FUTURE, they were most universally pissed off about american occupation and realized it fueled the insurgency. sitting here in the relative safety of bumfuck america i feel rather non chalant about it all, but the times, they are a changing,...

it gives me much pause. gw bush, you are one stupid fuckwit.

Check his emotional age. We're not required to put that on the warning label.


GravatarBut like GN and GL, will the non-political junkies make the connection to today's scene?

Yes, but not fully, as in one character is Coulter and I presume another was Rove. Was telling my wife and her friend about it over lunch, and neither knew who Coulter was, and barely knew Rove.

Never quite figured out who the talking head was suppose to be, O'Reilly, Larry King? Anybody enlighten me?


Gravatarres ipsa ~

I'm sorry. Days like that are no fun. The worst of which, I'm sure, is the fight with the sibling. No matter how silly, they always hurt.

GravatarAbout obnoxious family gatherings: I think alcohol has a lot to do with those, too. People drink more because of the stress and because there's always someone who starts mixing cocktails.

I took a Wilderness First Responder course a couple months ago (70 hours - way fun!) and learned about the DICChead scale for brain injuries: the victim first is Disoriented, then Irritable, then Combative, then Comatose. Car accident, alcohol toxicity, no matter.

Amazing how many people, after traveling, getting little sleep, being with people they love who stress them out, and who drink too much, start slipping down that DICChead scale...

My solution? Drink more. Comas are an excellent antidote to combat.

Gravatarname one of carter's failures

He only made two:

1. Not having Paul Volcker assassinated.

2. Assuming that Reagan wouldn't be so unpatriotic as to negotiate for the Iranians to hold the hostages longer in order to make Carter look bad on Inauguration Day.

Oh, and also serving honorably in the military. That's proof positive you're a coward and a traitor, and guarantees you'll lose in elections. The "support the troops" vote always goes for the civilian. Reagan over Carter, Clinton over Bush I, Bush II over Gore, Bush II over Kerry, etc.


GravatarAfter Words
A Weekly Look at Selected Book TV Programs

On Saturday, December 3 at 8:00 pm and Sunday, December 4 at 6:00 pm and at 9:00 pm

After Words: Mary Mapes interviewed by Brent Bozell

Description: This week on After Words journalist Mary Mapes explains her investigative story on George W. Bush's National Guard record that aired on 60 Minutes II. Her new book about the experience is titled "Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, and the Privilege of Power." Ms. Mapes tells her version of the controversy over the segment, and the ensuing internal investigation at CBS that led to Dan Rather's resignation as anchor of CBS Evening News, and her own dismissal. She is interviewed by Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center.

Fits the nonfairness that the FAIR thing showed, to a 'T'. I generally give c-span the benefit of the doubt, but sheesh.

GravatarSimels is being name stolen,

thanx vicki. 'cause i'm telling you, Carter may not have been our best president, but he wasn't the worst, and he was mostly honest. that covers a multitude of sins in my book. i don't care if you lust in your heart, or take a direct blowjob.

but i don't like being lied to about war.


GravatarDon't forget his pompous assholiness.

Shit, since he's visiting the relations, he's probably wearing pants, even.


GravatarYeah. Totally. I only liked his early shit, like everything after Alien Lanes just sucks ass. He's totally sold out. No biofuels, open threads. He even used a synth on his last single.

No, I liked plenty of GBV stuff after Alien Lanes.


GravatarYou there, Duncan?

I hate it when they drip envy all over the place. Such a mess it makes.




Gonna go watch a DVD. Later, lovely Lunas.


GravatarI agree that we need to focus on '06, but we also need the vision to look ahead NOW. The shortsightedness you suggest is what cost us the last election.

The shortsightedness had nothing to do with looking ahead 3 fucking years. It had to do with selecting the status quo, "safe" and "electable" candidate and campaigning like pussies after 4 years of being a shitty oppo party.

Reid and Dean are doing the right thing now: staying out ahead of the GOP on the issues of the day, looking to fight in 50 states and take back Congress. You don't do that by musing about whether Feingold or Clinton will be the best choice for when we don't even know WTF is going to happen with an Iraqi withdrawal, the economy, etc.

Don't focus on personalities: focus on the platform, governing principles, overall philosophy. Then in 2008 you can pick the person who can best communicate what the Dems stand for.

GravatarYes, but not fully, as in one character is Coulter and I presume another was Rove. Was telling my wife and her friend about it over lunch, and neither knew who Coulter was, and barely knew Rove.

Never quite figured out who the talking head was suppose to be, O'Reilly, Larry King? Anybody enlighten me?
chris/tx | 12.03.05 - 7:38 pm | #


Yes, but folks who can't ID Coulter still spout her talking points. Or what were her talking points, and have filter into the mainstream. They may not who she is, but they know 'her'. They don't have to pay attention to pick up the ideas. Or maybe not paying attention is the 'best' way to pick up those sorts of ideas. Hate doesn't require that much thought.


GravatarI'm such a pathetic loser, the only way I have fun with others is by trying to make them mad. Am I twisted or what?

I'd say the age difference might be meaningful if you are 30 and he's 18...or if yer 21 and he's 9...that's a leap. The wife and I are 8 years apart, with her the being older, but she said i was very 'evolved' for my age when we met. haha...and it's worked out very well.

At the least, give it a shot....what you got to lose? You are already friends, and hopefully would stay the same even if the relationship progresses and then cools later.

A friend is coming back from Paris with Pernod (or maybe La Fee Verte) and one of the fancy schmancy slotted spoons to mix the sugar cube with the absinthe. I know the French absinthe is inferior to the thujon-enriched Czech, but I still can't wait for my first dance with the Green Faerie.

GravatarI was just watching a thing about Shakespeare here in the UK.

One Puritan in the 17 century, who wanted to ban all theatre said that all actors are perverts, and all actresses are whores.

You see we had Pat Robertson and his nut cases 400 years ago.

Why does Pat not wear a big black pointy hat?

We shipped them all of to a country called America. Maybe you could send then to the moon.


GravatarWhat I hate about electronic keyboards is that I can no llonger do my "Hand me that piano" jokes -- what genius was it in this gaggle that said, "If Carter had been re-elected we would be celebrating the 25th anniversary of peace in the Middle East!"?

We read his memoir ("An Hour Past Midnight"?) in refectory -- quite enjoyed it.

The Reaganites were traitors -- undermining the good of the country to seize power -- but that was consistent with the Republican pattern -- Nixon did the same thing in 1968 -- I never thought I would loathe any president as much as Nixon, but I never imagined Bush the Lesser!

nasty than mine, but then again
it's a classic misogynist.


GravatarOh, how the mighty have fallen.

Long gone are the days when the trolls would tell us that they personally would climb up Mount Rushmore and carve Chimpy ‘s image in the rock.

No nowadays all they got left is to attack Carter. A decent man who had the cold war and the oil crises to deal with. Not to mention a bunch of traitorous Republicans.


GravatarI like the real Terry C better than the ass-troll.

But I can certainly understand the troll wanting to emulate her.

It's like that movie with Madonna in it where that other woman wanted to impersonate Madonna, only... pathetic and mildly creepy.

GravatarSmitty - you understand that absinthe causes brain damage, right?

It was syphilis, not absinthe, that made Van Gogh cut off his ear.

And since I'm in a monogomous marriage, I think syphilis is not going to affect me.

BTW -- Wolcott misspells Ms Streisand's first name -- would watertiger ir res ipsa or one of his other girlfriends let him know that it is "Barbra" (& if he gets that famous he can spell his first name "Chemz" or however he likes)

I've mentioned before that I never cared for Babs's music (stealing Goddess Laura Nyro's stuff & ruining it), but I have no complaints about her politics -- she once pointed out that every good thing in this country came from the liberals -- freeing the slaves, universal sufferage, female liberation, civil rights -- of course the "conservatives" are opposed to all those things...

Rice rejects EU protests over secret terror prisons

America does not break international law, Secretary of State insists


US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will inflame the transatlantic row over America's alleged torture of terror suspects in secret jails by telling Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and other European officials to 'back off'.

Rice, who arrives in Brussels tomorrow for a meeting with Nato foreign ministers, has been under pressure to respond to claims the US has been using covert prisons in Eastern Europe to interrogate Islamic militants. Human rights groups have alleged the CIA is flying terror suspects to secret jails in planes that have used airports throughout Europe, including Britain.

Sex lessons planned for all children

· Five-year-olds to get lessons on emotional life
· Leak reveals teenagers' ignorance and confusion


Compulsory sex lessons for primary school children as young as five are to be backed by the government's official advisers on sexual behaviour in an unpublished report obtained by The Observer. If accepted, the proposals would be the biggest shake-up in sex education in schools in England and Wales.

The document says the current system for sex lessons, which are mostly optional, is unfair, confused, damaging to pupils' health and development and partly responsible for Britain having the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in western Europe. At present all pupils get basic biological information, but those at some schools are also given details about subjects such as contraception and sexually transmitted infections.

High street banks will have to give up 'dormant' cash worth up to £1.5 billion under plans to be announced by Gordon Brown tomorrow.

In a highly controversial move likely to infuriate the main financial institutions, Brown will say he is prepared to legislate to unlock money languishing unclaimed in bank accounts.

Assets will be regarded as dormant if they are left for 15 years.

The money will be used to fund charities and raise enterprise and skills levels in some of Britain's most deprived areas.

Looking down from the snowline at dusk, the glow of thousands of campfires emerges across the valley as the temperature plummets, each flicker signifying another homeless family out in the numbing cold.

Along the freezing roads of the Himalayan foothills, 8,000ft above sea level, haulage trucks heave their way around corners, their lights shining on flimsy canvas tents at every turn, illuminating the shadows inside of families around cooking pots, children stamping their feet in the cold, everyone who has one wrapped in a blanket.

GravatarPenguin

Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are an order of flightless birds living in the southern hemisphere.

There are 17 or 18 known species worldwide, depending on whether the two Eudyptula species are counted as distinct. Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not, contrary to popular belief, found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin actually live so far south. Three species live in the tropics; one lives as far north as the Galápagos Islands and will occasionally cross the equator while feeding.


GravatarVicki:

How's the (ahem) water pipe
doing?


Gravatar"Cute 'n' cuddly, boys, cute 'n' cuddly"


GravatarJust got a 577.6.

And innumerable 0's when I whiff.


GravatarThe largest species is the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): adults average about 1.1 meters (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kilograms (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin (also known as the Fairy Penguin), which stands around 40 cm tall (16 in) and weighs 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). Generally larger penguins retain heat better, and thus inhabit colder regions, while smaller penguins are found in temperate or even tropical climates.

Penguins are gregarious. Most feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend half of their life on land and half in the oceans.

FYI, if anyone is interested, MediaMatters is hiring researchers. Info on their website. That's as much as I know.


Gravatarthe way to increase your score is to pretend the penguin is fy. you'll hit it out of the ballpark.


GravatarPenguins are actually very old birds. The oldest fossils of penguins emerged in the Eocene era more than 40 million years ago. However these fossils proved that prehistoric penguins were already flightless and seagoing, so their origins may go as far back as 65 million years ago.

GravatarIn fact, they have evidence of penguin sperm all over Eve in the Garden of Eden. Story is she went down on half of Noah's ark.

A vacationing penguin is driving through Arizona when he notices that the oil-pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station. After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town.

He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of vanilla ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands, he makes a real mess trying to eat with his little flippers.

After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem.

The mechanic looks up and says, "It looks like you blew a seal."

"No, no," the penguin replies, "it's just ice cream."
