~A Drug Called Tradition
~"‘Bama fans, hoping their school would make its third straight trip to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., were disappointed Sunday when The Tide accepted a Sugar Bowl bid. Old habits die hard. Cheer up…an argument can be made that New Orleans is a little bit better than Shreveport. Here’s a few of the reasons the Big Easy is better than the Big Sheezy."

Army Corps Kayaker Case Settled: Biologist Who Demonstrated for the L.A. River Paddles off to Law School~PEER
~The case of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers biologist whose activism has helped shape national policy has drawn to a close. Heather Wylie had faced a proposed 30-day suspension for kayaking the Los Angeles River on her own time as part of a public protest demonstration against Corps policies weakening the Clean Water Act.
Pursuant to a settlement negotiated with attorneys at Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) who represented Ms. Wylie, the Corps has authorized the release of the following statement:
"Ms. Wylie has reached an agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers that resolves all outstanding issues between them. The agreement does not admit any liability or wrongdoing on the part of either party. Ms. Wylie will end her government service effective December 8, 2008."

~Gambit Weekly~The oysters now coming into
New Orleans restaurants are of extraordinary quality.
They look fat on the half shell, taste salty and feel meaty in the mouth. Some on both sides of the oyster bar say these are the best they've seen local waters produce in a long time.
But such praise is cold comfort for many working the Louisiana oyster reefs and running the shoreside processing plants, because the question of quantity rather than quality is pressing on them now. While oysters are readily available across the market, this year has proved quietly disastrous for Louisiana oyster growers and has sown deep anxiety about the future among industry veterans.
National Report Card on the State of Emergency Medicine gives Louisiana: D+
~Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath still play a significant role in Louisiana’s emergency care environment. While the state now ranks among the best in Disaster Preparedness, Katrina’s impact has also left Louisiana in dire need of more providers to care for a population that has large numbers of uninsured and a higher than average risk of suffering from preventable illnesses and injuries.
