Amazing Nebula Photo Looks Like a Giant Human Head

A spectacular photo from a NASA telescope has revealed a wispy blue nebula with an odd twist: It looks like a giant human head in deep space.

The head-in-space nebula photo was snapped by NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer satellite and shows an ultraviolet view of the so-called Cygnus Loop nebula, which is located 1,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. It was released March 22 and featured this week on NASA's website.

What makes the new Cygnus Loop image striking is its odd shape. The nebula looks like a giant human head and neck, which appear in profile facing the left of the image. A bright star serves as an eye while wispy nebula gas traces the outline of jaw, and close-cropped hair.

To be clear, the Cygnus Loop nebula head is an optical illusion, one of many caused when observers see familiar patterns in images. Recent examples of space illusions include images of the so-called Fried Egg nebula and Running Chicken nebula.

The Cygnus Loop nebula is all that remains from a colossal star explosion that occurred between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago.

"The filaments of gas and dust visible here in ultraviolet light were heated by the shockwave from the supernova, which is still spreading outward from the original explosion," NASA explained in a photo description. "The original supernova would have been bright enough to be seen clearly from Earth with the naked eye."

The nebula covers an area of the night sky that is more than three times the size of the full moon and is tucked beneath one of the wings of the imaginary swan that makes up the Cygnus constellation.

NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, which took the Cygnus Loop nebula photo, was launched in April 2003 on a mission to map vast areas of the sky in the ultraviolet range of the light spectrum. The spacecraft completed its primary mission in 2007 and was placed in standby mode as engineers prepare to shut it down for good later this year.

On My Family Tree ? ashleysthought

When I started writing this blog initially, I used to write a lot more about my family. I got some of the best feedback from stories about my?mother and my childhood. After a bit, a few people who read this, that I actually know in real life started emphasizing how my family would feel if they were to read?it. Then I felt bad. I felt like I shouldn?t be having a very public, world-wide laugh at their expense. Most days I still feel like that, but not today. The fact of the matter is that this shit is true. I couldn?t make this up if I tried.

I had received some emails?with questions about what the rest of my family was like and what kind of childhood?I had. This is my family tree.

My Mother

Some?of you have read my earlier posts where I mentioned my mother. People have told me that she would be great for a sitcom or a movie character.?It?s a nice thought, but she actually exists in real life. TV could never capture her. When I was younger, my mother was a very unhappy woman. Truthfully, she?was dealt a really shitty deck of cards. No one?could have played them well. I remember driving with my mother, in a car that had been?sold to her for $500 on the?front yard?of a trailer park, and complaining?about her?smoking with the windows rolled up. It would make me sick and I could tell when I went to school that my clothes reeked. I remember so clearly how she turned, looked at me and said, ?cigarettes are the only joy I have in my life.? I was in second grade, but I knew that meant her life really sucked. I figured if that was the only joy she had I shouldn?t mind the 3 packs she smoked every day. I don?t have a single childhood image of her without?a cigarette in? her mouth. This woman washed her hair with one hand and smoked a cigarette with the other. There are still burn marks on the side of her bathtub. If you?re familiar with my early posts, you also know that she has a tramp stamp and a few other bad tattoos. They are in very poor taste, but they truly reflect her life story. She was a single mother, raising 3 kids that she never hesitated to tell a person were all ?mistakes.? She wasn?t home much because she was out working shitty jobs and making no money. There were lots of boyfriends,?even?a?couple engagements, some stints with drugs and?various?mental health disorders. I was well into my twenties before I realized that she wasn?t as much of a complete bitch, as she was a trooper. I moved out of her house when I was 14 and didn?t really have a relationship with her until the past year or so, after I broke up with my ex. I figured if anyone knew about failed relationships, it was her. I had been out of touch with her for so long, that she had become a completely new and different mom. Mom4GS. She got married to a nice guy, renovated her house and found herself in a career. She really got her shit straightened out and I?m happy for her. Sometimes it?s still weird. I?m thankful I got the chance to meet her again.

My Father

My father is arguably the most hardworking man alive. In fact, he is so hardworking that one day, when I was 8 years old, he went to work and never came back again. He must be putting in a lot of overtime. When he didn?t come home the first few days, I knew that he was gone for good. People always ask if I worried that he had been hurt or kidnapped or something, but usually when that happens people don?t clear out their drawers and pack their bags. It made things really difficult on my mom. His disappearance catapulted the?series of misfortune that was to come in the years ahead. bankruptcy, abusive boyfriends and things of that nature. I had to go to a very exclusive group at my school called, ?Banana Splits.? It was run by the guidance counselor. Any time there were family days or activities, we would get pulled out of the room to talk about our ?feelings.? It was supposed to be discreet, but it didn?t come close. On the last day of school, the counselor let us eat banana splits to replace the dad deficit. That is the best logic I could ever get from it. There were lots of times growing up and even sometimes now, when I could have really used a dad. I still have not seen or heard from him since he went to work that day. It?s been 17 years.

My Older Brother

Ugh, god. What do I say about this kid? Dumb as a rock?no. ?He is my brother and I love him. However, it?s not easy. He is living with an imaginary disease?that causes him to be 17 years old for the rest of his life. While eating with him at a restaurant one time, he had this to say about his diet, ?I only eat once a day because I only?like really unhealthy food. I would never eat a fruit or vegetable. I usually just eat cheese steaks and shit. If I only eat once a day, it?s healthier and I won?t get as fat.? No, he wasn?t kidding. That is probably the most well thought out conversation he?s had in years. He is perfectly happy, approaching 30 and serving soup and salad combos at Olive Garden. I?m still learning to get off his case. If he?s happy, that?s good enough.

My Younger Brother

My younger brother is the nicest, most kind-hearted person who ever called in a bomb scare and got expelled from school. I mean that. He?s an amazing artist and an amazing stoner. He is covered head to toe in tattoos and piercings. People often get this hard ass impression of him, but that couldn?t be farther from the truth. He is really sensitive and loving. When we were in high school,?(pre-expulsion) he cried when our hermit crab died. It?s still buried somewhere in our mother?s backyard. He is still lazy and mooching, but he?s becoming more of a productive member of society. Thank God.

My Maternal Grandparents

My grandfather lived with us much of our lives, though we didn?t see or speak to him that often. I know. This is still a piece that boggles my mind as well. He was a man?s man.?Worked in construction, hung out at?the?Elks and drank a ton of booze. The booze is probably the reason we needed a babysitter even if he was home. I remember staying up late at night when my friends would sleep over and we would have to be quiet so we didn?t bother him. We would wait to see him stumble out of his room inebriated, in his underwear, and scratch his back against the wall, like a bear.?A very drunk bear.?He chewed Red Man tobacco and signed?his?Christmas cards?using his first and last name, never grandpa.?His gallbladder burst and poisoned his whole body about two years ago.?50+?years of hardcore booze ended up killing him. When I think of him,?I feel like I never got the chance to know him as well as I should have, but I still smile and?laugh.??

My grandmother is still alive and well. I believe she owns record-breaking amounts of swishy?jump suits and Reebok sneakers. I lived with her off and on a lot through my life. I was a teenager by the time I realized she had ever been married to my grandfather. They were completely opposite people, I could never imagine them being together. Although my grandmother is very dainty and cute, in an old lady way, she is also much like Stone Cold Steve Austin. It?s almost like she has no emotion at all. She blinks a lot and has very dry skin. She doesn?t cry or say I love you.?Her ring finger on her left hand is missing because when she was on her honeymoon 120 years ago, she was going down a water slide and her wedding ring got caught on a tiny hook that was used to?hinge covers over the slide. She continued down the water slide and when she got into the pool, she had to go back up to retrieve her finger. Medicine then wasn?t what it is today so they couldn?t reattache?the finger. You always know when my grandmother is around because her glove only has 3 fingers on it. She?s always cold. She has spent more than half of her life giving the shocker.

My Paternal Grandparents

It is difficult to mention these two because I only met them twice in my life and it was prior to age 8. They are from Ohio. The first time I met them, we had to make the trip to visit my grandfather in the hospital. He was severely diabetic and due to complications, he was having his leg amputated from the knee down. We got there the day before the surgery. I remember?seeing him for the first time?in a hospital bed and not being able to take my eyes off?the leg. Due to lack of oxygen in the extremity, it was solid black from the knee down. To this day, I don?t think I?ve ever seen anything that scary.?A few years later, we visited for his funeral.?My grandmother is still alive, but refuses to talk to us. I don?t know why, but truthfully I don?t care enough to find out.

My Miscellaneous Brothers

I was about 12 when this boy came knocking on my door, looking for my dad. I had to let him know that we hadn?t seen or heard from him in years at that point. He went on to tell me that he was my brother. A half-brother. What was more bizarre, is that he has the same first, middle and last name as my older brother. This new brother was about 3 years older than my older brother.?Confusing, I know. ?Apparently, my father had abandoned their family as well and this kid came looking for him because he wanted to punch him in the face. This new brother also has a brother. So?I have a grand total of two half brothers. One of which I have still never met.

To top it off, when my mother got married, I gained two step brothers. They are very nice boys who love to hunt/fish/kill everything. It is difficult for me to find common ground with these guys. I use my fall back plan and get them drunk whenever we are together. One of them is getting close to turning 21. The other is still a few years away.

My Drunk Step-Uncle

This gem also came into my family when my mother got married. This guy is perhaps the drunkest?man alive. He?s had two heart attacks. I love seeing him because he reminds me of a cartoon character. He has a blonde ponytail and rosy cheeks. Regardless of season, he is always wearing a sleeveless t-shirt, cut off denim shorts and untied work boots. He has a very bad stutter. On Memorial Day last year, I had gone to a picnic at my mother?s house. Somewhere around 2pm, this drunk step-uncle came screeching into the drive way. He parked on the grass and somehow, fell face first out of the passenger door of his car. When he walked up to the area we were sitting, it looked almost as if he was fighting gravity. I filmed it. After he grabbed a beer and said the N word a few times, he told us why he was in such bad shape. Apparently, the mexicans who live in the trailer across from his had been making a lot of noise and bothering him. He went over to their house to ?cuss them out? and they let their dogs attack him. He explained that he shouldn?t have gone over there after finishing both a 30 pack and a 12 pack that afternoon. That?s 42 beers before 2pm. He has become a wonderful addition to this family tree.

?

You can dispute the accuracy of this if you want, but I don?t have much else to say. This is my family.

When taking out a bank loan you'll want to take into account tips on ...

It might seem to be that a bad credit score score is sufficient to ensure obtaining large particular loans is fantasy alternatively than truth. However the actuality is the fact that it is possible to have even a $10,000 personal mortgage with poor credit rating.

The rationale why it is the case is the fact every single loan provider is fascinated in one issue: receiving their income again, with interest. After all, personalized financial loans are often seen as challenges.

The good news is the fact you?ll find quite a few things which might be accomplished to greatly improve that amount of confidence for your loan company. So, by way of these measures, your odds of acquiring loan approval regardless of bad credit history are tremendously enhanced.

Give the Loan company Safety

The best strategy to safe a $10,000 personalized loan with poor credit rating is usually to offer some protection to the loan provider. This basically implies giving some collateral which is of equivalent price on the volume sought ? $10,000.

The chief benefit to giving collateral is the fact the personal personal loan becomes a secured bank loan, and for that reason a decreased interest rate is applied. So, the regular monthly repayments are decrease and more manageable.

Of course, the adverse position to keep in mind is the fact that by using collateral to have financial loan approval even with undesirable credit history, the particular merchandise is in danger. Should there at any time be considered a challenge with producing repayments, then it gets to be the home of the loan provider.

Consist of a Cosigner

The problem with collateral is the fact not absolutely everyone provides an one merchandise price enough to protected a $10,000 personalized bank loan with negative credit. But a cosigner removes that difficulty.

A cosigner commits to creating the required repayments need to the borrower fail to, which will help to convince creditors of personalized financial loans they will get their dollars back again.

However, the cosigner also requirements to become accepted through the financial institution in advance of there may be any possibility of acquiring personal loan approval in spite of bad credit score. The ideal candidate can have a fantastic credit score history and sufficient income being able to make the repayments must the necessity crop up.

Split the Mortgage Sum

A 3rd selection is usually to divide what is needed right into a quantity of smaller private loans. Getting a $10,000 particular mortgage with bad credit history is going to be really difficult, but smaller financial loans of possibly $2,000 or $3,000 can be secured significantly far more easily ? usually with no credit rating check out really applied.

But there are some features to keep in mind when obtaining 4 or five tiny personalized financial loans. Firstly, just about every loan stands on your own, which implies that every financial institution will probably use strain to have repayments created by the due date.

Also, it is vital to perform your calculations correctly. Five loans of $2,000 every could have five unique rates of fascination. This might signify that the general curiosity repayments are more than it could be on just one $10,000 personal loan. Needless to say, to secure mortgage approval even with bad credit score the additional price may need to be accepted.

Reimbursement schedules on each and every personal loan will also be essential. Only one $10,000 individual loan with bad credit rating will be structured merely, but obtaining several financial loans from unique loan companies suggests agreeing diverse schedules. A $1,five hundred payday cash advance, for example, could should be repaid in thirty times, whilst a $3,000 personal financial loan might have a 90-day deadline.

Typically periods it would not matter how very well you plan out your excavation challenge, you discover that you just operate into a shortage of gear available to handle needs with out working in excess of some time allotted. You then have to make the decision ? rent whatever you want or go forward and buy new tools.

It is not generally a transparent lower determination to make so let?s just take a glance at a number of factors that will come into perform.

Expenditures of Renting Excavation Tools.

With no doubt, rental firms rub their arms with glee specifically for expensive weighty equipment hire. A lot of them will rent the excavation tools to you personally on the each day or weekly basis which could demonstrate to be an extremely high-priced solution, particularly when the project is even more held up on account of other variables at the same time.

Renting excavation devices and off street dump trucks usually catch the attention of the highest rental costs inside the significant equipment market. You may be looking in a cost range of around $18,000 a month not together with any attachments or buckets you could possibly need to have. This can be in your finances if the organization is huge and profitable and also the undertaking is major sufficient but could establish to get outside of reach into an a lot less proven corporation. For anyone who is unsure where the next large tasks are coming from then renting tools could well be a wiser final decision than purchasing. You won?t very own the products nevertheless it is better than possessing it sitting around unused. You will not hold the fear either of having to fix it if it breaks down ? the rental retain company will tackle that obligation.

What exactly Concerning the Solution Of Acquiring Excavation Products?

If you are thinking which the gear you may need will likely be needed for further jobs, it makes sense to seriously look at purchasing the excavation tools that you need alternatively than renting it, specifically if you have numerous greater projects to the calendar.

Of course, using this solution you?ll be responsible for the regular provider, upkeep and repair with the excavation equipment you purchase. But acquiring that which you will need will most surely save you funds ultimately in case you do have all those additionally huge initiatives in the pipeline.

Eventually the choice is yours on no matter whether you purchase or rent but obviously you have to consider your finances very carefully and make the best final decision for your firm. When you seriously do not have the finances or money to purchase that which you will need, renting could well be the best choice obviously.

?Farmers Only,? dating website that ?city folks just don?t get,? passes 200,000 subscribers

(FarmersOnly.com)

Niche dating sites crop up all the time. Now, one that launched to cater to the kind of people who grow crops?FarmersOnly.com?has reached a milestone.

Jerry Miller, a marketing executive who founded the site in 2005 after a divorced farm owner complained to him about a lack of like-minded people in her dating pool, says it has more than 200,000 subscribers.

"She said, 'I'm afraid I'm not going to meet anybody new?I know everybody in town,'" Miller recalled in a recent interview with Yahoo News.

He then spent six months researching singles in farming communities. "I kept hearing the same thing: 'I know everybody in my church, everybody at the store, but I go on these big dating sites, and they just don't understand the lifestyle.'"

Carrying the tagline "city folks just don't get it," FarmersOnly.com launched with about 2,000 members, but grew to more than 100,000 users by 2010 as nonfarmers embraced the sensibility.

"You don't have to be a farmer," Miller, who's based in Cleveland, said. "You could work at a restaurant, or the feed store, but are looking for someone who has those values."

Users pay $15.95 per month, or $49.95 for six months, to find a like-minded match on the service. (Online dating is a billion-dollar industry: More 40 million Americans used an online dating service in 2011.)

Miller's done some marketing at farm shows and local television ads (like the one with talking animals below), but said the steady rise has been mainly from word-of-mouth.

FarmersOnly, which boasts members from all 50 states, has pockets of urban users, too. "They grew up in the country and dream of moving back to country," he said. "Dreamers that want to get out."

From the site's own description:

Instead of asking what your astrological sign is, at FarmersOnly.com we ask if you raise or breed alpacas, horses, cattle, chickens, dogs, goats, rabbits, sheep, grow crops, or if you're an organic farmer, student farmer, cowboy, cowgirl, or just a farmer wanna be!

The most challenging part of growing its user base, Miller said, is showing people the ropes.

"The learning curve is a lot different for us," Miller said. "I spent thousands of hours coaching people on how to use the site, send messages?even just teaching them how to upload their photos." (One user, Lyle from Kansas, would call him often, saying, "Jerry, I'm looking at my photo, I just can't figure out how to get it on there.")

The site also had to wait for technology to catch up in rural towns, too. "When we launched, everybody had phone modems," Miller said. "Connections were slow, so we had to keep it simple."

There are plenty of success stories about married couples that met on FarmersOnly, something in which Miller?who got married long before the Internet came along?takes extra pride.

"Lots of these people are really, really lonely," Miller said. "When you walk outside in New York, there are 10,000 people within three blocks. In some of these rural towns, there are three people within 10 miles. It's a whole different ballgame."

Half of species found by 'great plant hunters'

ScienceDaily (Mar. 24, 2012) ? More than 50% of the world's plant species have been discovered by 2% of plant collectors, scientists have found.

With an estimated 15-30% of the world's flowering plants yet to be discovered, finding and recording new plant species is vital to our understanding of global biodiversity.

The age of great botanical explorers, such as Sir Joseph Banks and Alexander von Humboldt, might appear to have passed. But the study, led by Oxford University scientists, found that modern botany has its own 'great plant hunters' -- individuals whose experience and skills enable them to make a disproportionate contribution to the discovery of new plant species.

A report of the research was recently published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

'It seems that, even in the 21st Century, we need 'great' plant hunters who have the skills and experience to make the most efficient use of their time in the field,' said Dr Robert Scotland of Oxford University's Department of Plant Sciences, who led the work.

'Whilst local specialists, citizen scientists, and students all have an invaluable contribution to make to botany, our research suggests that years of experience helps great hunters collect, not necessarily more specimens, but more of the important ones that go on to change our understanding of plant species,' Dr Scotland adds.

The study assembled four datasets totalling 100,000 specimens from four institutions; The Natural History Museum, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Missouri Botanical Garden, and Royal Botanic Garden Melbourne.

The researchers found that the most productive collectors are distinguished by five attributes: they collect over many years, they collect more types per year, they collect from several different countries (although specialising in one particular country), they collect from a wide range of plant families (although again, often specialising in a particular family), and they collect more types towards the end of their careers.

The study suggests that greater efforts should be made to identify, train, and support plant hunters throughout their careers as they can make a substantial contribution to the discovery of new species.

Oxford University's Department of Plant Sciences has a strong history of producing 'big hitting' plant hunters from an 18th Century Professor of Botany, John Sibthorp (1758-96) who collected some of the first plants from Greece and many from Cyprus, to Sir Ghillean Prance, a recent Director of Kew Gardens and Graduate student at Oxford University who collected extensively in Brazil. Currently John Wood, a research associate at the Department of Plant Sciences, has collected 30,000 specimens from South America and Asia, many of which are new species.

Yulgang 2 (KR) | Gameforumer.com: Latest Games News, MMORPG ...

Posted by Admin on March 24th, 2012

I know, since last November at G*Star where Mgame officially debuted Yulgang 2, there has since been little news except for a short Closed Beta 1. As a sequel to one of the most famous Free to Play martial arts online game in Korea, there is no doubt high expectations for the title. Korean gaming website PlayForum paid a visit to the developer and find out how more about Yulgang 2?s current status.

1. Closed Beta 2 is currently being prepared, with over 100 staff working day and night to perfect the game.

2. Enhancing game?s visuals. As an in-house developed game engine, the development team can keep updating the system to accommodate their demands and stay close to the original artwork. Satisfaction rate is now around 70% of the vision set, with specs for both low and high end computers in the works.

3. Improved new players guide. Players will not learn the basics of Yulgang 2 via quests in the actual game world, rather than an instanced ?beginner zone?. Although not stated how the new target system is like, the previous auto-select feature will be gone as players from Closed Beta 1 complained about it being inconvenient.

4. 2 new classes will be added in Closed Beta 2, which are the previously revealed, the Assassin and Sorceress. The faction system found in the prequel will make its debut as well.

5. There is currently no date yet, but the developer promised to address all concerns from Closed Beta 1 players and implement new content for Closed Beta 2.

Tips For Renting Commercial Property At Dahlonega Real Estate ...

March 24th, 2012 Posted in Mortgage Info

by Lori T. Madigan

Most business proprietors get an attorney or lawyer for handling tasks which include renting as well as leasing commercial properties. Generally in most situations, the tenants don?t have a complete knowledge of the lease, thus having them at risk for violating it through simple prejudice. Know way more as to what every business owner should really know about renting commercial properties at Dahlonega Real Estate.

Make a Bright Decision at Dahlonega Real Estate

Working with a legal practitioner is most effective for trying to make sense and value of a lease. Being sure you?ve got a full knowledge of all the details is very important. This is especially true when you have many staff. Easy parts of the lease which encompass devastation of the property could be a topic you may want to discuss along with all your personnel.

Give consideration to the dangers for your business before signing a lease without thoroughly understanding it. Trusting a property owner for being wholly honest isn?t a wise decision. Make certain to read over each word with a lawyer just before you sign anything. Bear in mind, be well guided of everything 1st, know the information prior to signing. Dahlonega Real Estate ensures that every decision is certainly provided with contentment and pleasure.

Discuss over maintenance and know exactly what you are responsible for and which repairs the property manager should handle. The cost of some repairs could be expensive, therefore making sure you understand the ones you would be accountable for is essential. In fact, some larger companies have real estate departments that include lawyers for making the standard lease more suitable for that specific business. Smaller business owners may not have this option, so making certain you go over all of the small print, and talking each piece over with a lawyer and with the landlord is necessary.

The actual area you choose if you rent commercial real estate could have a significant effect on your production and revenue. Making sure you choose the location best for you is necessary to keep your own company in many aspects. Spending some time to shop around and to learn all the fine details of a lease could certainly help you to experience as well as to acquire more success.

Santorum looks for rebound in Louisiana

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Rick Santorum looked for a win in Louisiana's primary Saturday to boost his Republican presidential campaign while front-runner Mitt Romney braced for an expected loss.

No matter who wins the state, the overall trajectory of the fight for the party's nomination was unlikely to change. Santorum still dramatically lags in the hunt for delegates to the GOP's summertime nominating convention, and Romney remains the prohibitive favorite to become the nominee.

Even so, Santorum made clear he would press on beyond Louisiana and spent Saturday campaigning in next-up Wisconsin, which votes April 3 and represents one of his last chances to beat Romney in a Midwestern state.

"Stand for your principles. Don't compromise. Don't sell America short," Santorum implored Wisconsin voters in Milwaukee, telling them that he expected their state to be "the turning point in this race."

In an unmistakable jab at Romney, Santorum added: "Don't make the mistake that Republicans made in 1976. Don't nominate the moderate. When you do, we lose." It was a reference to Ronald Reagan losing the 1976 Republican nomination to incumbent President Gerald Ford, and Democrat Jimmy Carter winning the White House.

Exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks showed that the bad economy was the top issue for Louisiana voters, and most were gloomy about prospects for a recovery, saying they felt the economy was getting worse instead of better. While some national surveys suggest Americans are feeling optimistic about economic improvement, just one in eight Republican primary voters said they thought a recovery was underway.

Beating President Barack Obama in the fall was the most important consideration for about four of every ten Louisiana voters.

The former Pennsylvania senator badly needed a rebound after a decisive Illinois loss to Romney earlier in the week that moved party stalwarts to rally around the former Massachusetts governor. Many urged Santorum and fellow candidate former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to drop out of the race.

Both refused, and campaigned aggressively in Louisiana in hopes that a victory there would justify them continuing their bids despite Republican worries that the drawn-out nomination fight could hurt the party's chances this fall against President Barack Obama. The Democratic incumbent faces no serious primary challenge and his re-election campaign already is well under way.

Romney barely campaigned in Louisiana, though his allies spent on TV ads there. Instead, Romney was looking past the results and toward the general election.

"I want the vote of the people of Louisiana so we can consolidate our lead," Romney said Friday while campaigning in Shreveport. He told supporters his campaign wants to focus on "raising the money and building the team to defeat someone that needs to be out of office in 2012, and that's Barack Obama."

Romney is far ahead in the delegate count and on pace to reach the necessary 1,144 delegates before the party's convention in August.

After the Illinois primary March 20, Romney had 563 delegates, according to an Associated Press tally. Santorum had 263, while Gingrich trailed with 135. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 50.

Santorum looked to add another Southern state to his win column after beating Romney in Alabama and Mississippi, raising questions about Romney's ability to connect with the party's conservative base, particularly in its Southern heart.

In the run up to Saturday, Santorum found himself on the defensive after suggesting he'd prefer a second term for Obama over a Romney presidency. Santorum was all but forced to walk back those comments, saying less than 24 hours before Louisiana polls opened that "over my dead body would I vote for Barack Obama."

Romney also faced trouble this week when a top aide compared the switch from a primary to a general election campaign to an Etch A Sketch toy, suggesting earlier campaign positions could be easily wiped away. Most Louisiana voters said they weren't concerned with the comment, with only about one in five in exit polls calling this week's Etch A Sketch controversy an important factor in their vote.

Louisiana's complicated delegate rules meant that Santorum could walk away with a handful of delegates even if he won the state. That's because even though there were 20 delegates at stake Saturday, they are awarded proportionally to the candidates who receive more than 25 percent of the vote.

Most states divide all the available delegates among the candidates who meet the minimum threshold. Louisiana's system is strictly proportional, with any leftover delegates designated as uncommitted, meaning they will be fought for at the state convention.

None of the candidates remained in the state on Saturday, with Santorum and Gingrich moving on to Pennsylvania. Santorum also campaigned in Wisconsin. Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul had no public events Saturday.

Like Santorum, Gingrich showed no inclination to leave the race ahead of the August convention. "There's no incentive to get out as long as there's an opportunity to be there if it gets unlocked," Gingrich told reporters after delivering a Saturday speech to the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, the state's largest annual gathering of conservatives.

The next key fight comes Tuesday in Wisconsin. Romney's campaign is airing TV ads in the state, and his super PAC allies have plowed more than $2 million into TV advertising there.

Also voting April 3 are Maryland and the District of Columbia. There are 95 delegates combined at stake in the three contests.

Santorum is not on the ballot in Washington, D.C., but is ahead in opinion polls in Maryland.

Self-Dissolving Tinnitus Treatment Gives New Hope For Hearing Condition

MADISON COUNTY, Ind. -- The Madison County GOP is calling for the resignation of one of their own, Councilman David McCartney.Last week, the Call 6 Investigators exposed McCartney using the county email system to send dozens of inappropriate emails as well as campaign on the clock.McCartney is an employee with the county assessor?s office and is running for Madison County commissioner.At first, McCartney claimed the emails were part of a plan to expose his political naysayers, but he later apologized, RTV6's Kara Kenney reported.Madison County Republican Chair Troy Jerrils told RTV6 he?s disappointed about the ?obvious deception and attempted cover-up.??It?s not an appropriate use of taxpayer money or equipment,? said Jerrils. ?We as the party felt that if a statement wasn't made to that effect it would be condoning that and we simply can't."Jerrils said McCartney needs to take a break from public office and focus on his family.?Financially that might be a burden on him, but ultimately, that?s what?s going to be best,? said Jerrils.Through a public records request, Call 6 Investigators reviewed dozens of emails and found McCartney sending and receiving emails unrelated to county business on his county email account and county computer, throughout his 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. work hours.?You are too sweet, just so happens you taste sweet as well,? McCartney wrote in a February 21 email exchange with Montgomery County Assessor Kelly Ewoldt, both on their county accounts during work hours.?I know, looking forward to seeing your lovely face,? responded Ewoldt. ?And yes baby, you taste sweet.??You are one sexy assessor!!!!? McCartney wrote on Feb. 17 at 9:54 a.m.?Am I pulling you from your work?? McCartney wrote on Feb. 14 at 2:27 p.m. ?No, not in the mindset to do much today,? responded Ewoldt.In a Jan. 23 email at 2:55 p.m., McCartney appears to brag to an employee in the Madison County prosecutor?s office about a recent conference.?(Fifty-dollar) steaks and free beer. I was in heaven, not to mention all the hot (pieces) of (expletive),? read the email.McCartney earns $13,297 as a council member and $26,306 as a reassessment deputy with the assessor?s office.County policy prohibits county employees from sending sexually explicit messages, and also bans using work hours to engage in political activity. The policy also states county email cannot be used to solicit others for political causes, or other non-county business matters.Taxpayers to whom RTV6 spoke with said McCartney needs to take a break from office."To use our time and money for personal issues, that's a waste of money,? said taxpayer Michael Arnold, a 30-year resident of Madison County. ?There's too much of it going on already without just having to add to it.?McCartney told RTV6 he has no plans to resign or drop out of the race, and he faces Republican John Richwine in the primary for Madison County Commissioner.Meanwhile, Republicans are working to repair their image, one they say was damaged by McCartney?s indiscretions."When we do have issues like this, we don't want to sweep them under the carpet,? said Jerrils. ?We will make sure the public knows we will not stand for it.? As a councilman, McCartney holds the purse strings for Madison County.His term expires in January 2015.Ewoldt has not responded to RTV6's requests for comment on her emails exchanged with McCartney.Montgomery County attorney Daniel Taylor did not respond to repeated requests for comment on Ewoldt?s emails.Commissioner Phil Bane told RTV6 Friday he was unaware of any investigation under way.
