Landowners fight corps' plan to take their land for its clay
~Paul Rioux~When the Army Corps of Engineers announced it needed the equivalent of 20 Superdomes filled with clay to raise levees in the New Orleans area, Richard Robichaux had hoped to sell the corps dirt from a former Waggaman sugar plantation his family has owned for more than a century.
But rather than buy the clay, the corps wants to buy the land -- against the family's will, if necessary.

Defensive blogging
~Soldiers in the Blogosphere
~"A story this morning on milblogging.com caught my eye for a couple of reasons: it involved the Army Corps of Engineers (my branch) and it involved what I'll term "defensive blogging". The story is about allegations by the website Levee.org that Corps of Engineers employees left comments "targeting citizen critic using tax payer money" and were "re-writing history" (the news report by WWL TV can be seen here.) I have no idea if this is an organized effort by the Corps of Engineers, but it certainly highlights one way that the military can (and, I'd argue, should) engage the blogosphere - by leaving comments on blogs to correct or complete a story."~ <-emphasis span="" style="font-size: 180%;">

in Village de L'est
~Stephanie Bruno
~Village de l'Est, a neighborhood in eastern New Orleans identified strongly with New Orleans' Vietnamese community. One portion is bounded roughly by Dwyer Road on the north, Chef Menteur Highway on the south, Saigon Drive on the east (it runs roughly east-west but makes a turn toward Chef on the east end) and Palace Street on the west. A second portion is across Dwyer Road, where Willowbrook Drive is the main thoroughfare. Commercial activity such as restaurants and other businesses cluster on Alcee Fortier Boulevard in the blocks closest to Chef Menteur. Mary Queen of Vietnam Church on Willowbrook serves as the neighborhood's spiritual core.Houston’s High Water Problems
