Shots reported during Superdome evacuation

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Thursday, September 1, 2005

Air evacuation of the Superdome was temporarily halted Thursday after shots were reportedly fired at a military helicopter.

Evacuations by bus continue, despite an early news report to the contrary. Thousands of people taking temporary shelter in the Superdome and nearby areas in New Orleans are being evacuated after Mayor Ray Nagin ordered a complete evacuation of the city, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Evacuees will be taken to the Astrodome in Houston, Texas.

Looting has become an increasing concern, as looters and gangs are beginning to rob hotels and hospitals. Some looters have even been able to take guns from abandoned shops. Officials say that they are concerned about the increasing number of people with guns. Police officers stranded on the roof of a hotel reported shots fired at them.

President George W. Bush plans to visit the affected areas on Friday. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush are expected to lead a private fund-raising campaign for the victims of the hurricane, similar to the campaign after the oceanic earthquake and resulting tsunami in late 2004.

What To Do If Theres A Credit Card Judgement Against You

Author:  |  Category: Property Investment

By Sean A. Kelly

If you have not heard of credit card judgement, then you should know that having such a judgement made against you can be a rather distressing situation. Take my neighbor, Bob, who had a credit card judgement made against him and he literally had an emotional breakdown. Well, it took him awhile to recover and in that period, his wife and his family had a hard time trying to help him while at the same time, they were also running around looking for a solution to the judgment.

Bob’s problem was not such a serious one initially. In the beginning, he had a lot of credit card debts that were piling up. He had often sought my advice on how to clear his debts and since I am quite well-versed in resolving financial issues, I tried helping him by laying out a plan for him to clear his debts within a period of time. Unfortunately, while Bob was willing to listen to me and accept my help, he could not keep to the plan. He did not have the discipline to cut his spending nor did he have the willpower to stop using his credit cards. Even as he tried to reduce his spending and to pay down his debts, he had continued spending and buying things he did not need, resulting in deeper debts, higher credit card bills and an income that was just not enough to cover it all.

It all finally culminated in the credit card debt judgement against him that had caused his breakdown. His credit card company had finally decided to take his case to the courts to recover the debts he owed. This means he had probably defaulted in his credit card payments for a certain period of time and after repeated failed attempts to recover even some of the debts, his creditors had no choice but to go to the court for a judgment against Bob.

A court judgment obtained by the credit card company could mean a lot of things. It could mean that the court had ruled that the creditor now has a lien on your property, your bank accounts or possibly even your business if you are the sole proprietor of a business. This is highly dependent on your state law, though. Each state has different laws which will determine how your creditor could recover the debts you owe and the actions it could take. This may also mean they could freeze your bank accounts or even garnish your wages. So, if you want to know more, you may need to read up and learn more of your state laws on this. Other than this, there is still a way out of the judgment so that the creditor does not enforce it.

This is what I told Bob when he came to me again to ask for help. I told Bob to start negotiating with his creditor for a way out. Some creditors may be quite open to put aside executing the judgment if you agree to start making payments on the judgment. Another way is to appoint an attorney for some legal advice and to get more understanding on your state’s laws on the enforcement of judgement. Your attorney may even be able to provide you with a suitable solution based on your state’s laws and your financial situation.

Having a debt judgment made against is most often due to credit card default. So to avoid this, do try to keep your finances in order and clear up your debts as much as you possibly can.

New method of displaying time patented

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Saturday, October 14, 2006

An American inventor has patented a pair of new time formats with a footprint less than 50% of that of conventional four-digit time. The more unusual of the two new formats, called “TWELV”, dispenses with numerals altogether. In place of clock hands or digits, the new clock uses color to convey the hour and a moon image to convey the minute, which moon slowly grows throughout the course of an hour from a narrow crescent to a full-fledged circle.

The second and more approachable of the new formats retains numerical digits to indicate the minute but uses colors to convey the hour.

Early critics question whether the aesthetic benefits of the moon-clock will be sufficient to encourage users to learn the color-based time-telling system. However, the size advantages of the new system may make it particularly suitable for mobile applications, particularly cell phones, wearable computers, and head-mounted displays.

And most importantly, she made us believe in ourselves and that no goal was ever out of reach.”

Franca, born 1921 in London, England, came to Canada in 1951 to found the National Ballet of Canada. Franca choreographed ballets in Canada such as the famous “Cinderella” and “The Nutcracker.” She was artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada for 24 years.

See the discussion page for instructions on adding schools to this list and for an alphabetically arranged listing of schools.

Due to the damage by Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding, a number of colleges and universities in the New Orleans metropolitan area will not be able to hold classes for the fall 2005 semester. It is estimated that 75,000 to 100,000 students have been displaced. [1]. In response, institutions across the United States and Canada are offering late registration for displaced students so that their academic progress is not unduly delayed. Some are offering free or reduced admission to displaced students. At some universities, especially state universities, this offer is limited to residents of the area.
