Letter from the Copyright/Trademark Holder: "Trademarking 'Mardi Paws' just good business"
Editor suggests, in this case, that 'Have A Heart thru Art' change its name to: 'Stomp A Heart thru Cease & Desist' and register itself as a business, rather than as a non-profit 501-c-3 public service organization. Jesus Wept! Perhaps these "good business" people will join with the "Good Hands" people and try to copyright Lagniappe!

Katrina Suit Vs. Army Corps Dismissed

Judge this!~thank you Widewater

Exquixotic Corps
~Everywhere you want to be!
~NYTimes-U.S. Failed to Oversee Corps on Iraq Work, Agency Says, Army Corps of Engineers over-charged the government hundreds of millions of dollars
~CT-In Defense Of Maromas
~NY-LOOW: Corps to steer clear of current advisory board
~FL-Upddate~Latest bomb find shakes parents at Odyssey Middle School in Orlando~Nancy Stitch, a spokeswoman for the Corps, said "We say there is no way we could have known it was there. . . . We stand by our previous statements that the school ground is safe."
Editor now realizes why laughing so hard is called 'stitches', Ms. Stitch! You PR people are just killing us! May we never get tired of reminding everyone that the Corps said that
over & over about our levees in New Orleans too, that they were safe for at least a Cat 3 hurricane...before they failed during a weak Cat 2 hurricane which passed by the city. We are all still waiting to hear from them about that one.

Important Homeland Security News - Former FEMA Secretary Mike Brown will Offer His Perspective on Hurricane Katrina Recovery Efforts at the IACSP Wash DC Security Forum February 28th, 2008
"Overnight, an entire industry was created that has an entirely new revenue stream for these [accounting and consulting] groups," says (Brown's new company) Resilient's co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Darryl Moody. Moody is former vice chairman of the Homeland Security and Defense Business Council, an industry group.
Resilient's partners believe their expertise and connections can help them take advantage of that opportunity.
Co-founder Mark Gembicki is a former National Security Agency analyst and director of security programs for the Secret Service.
Robert Housman, director of legal and regulatory compliance, was an assistant director of the White House drug czar's office.
But the company's most widely recognized member might bring it the most attention.
"You want someone who knows the good," Brown says, "and the bad." [From the Washington Business Journal, September 29, 2006]
