AAUP wants LSU to reinstate instructors~Reveile
~The letter is the third such complaint this year. The AAUP, American Association of University Professors, blasted the administration in February for not renewing Ivor van Heerden, the marine sciences professor who made national headlines for his post-Katrina criticisms of the Army Corps of Engineers' maintenance of the New Orleans levees. The group claimed the administration had Ivor van Heerden fired because those criticisms could have endangered federal funding funneled to the University through the Corps.

Real estate agents and title attorneys warn of chaos in the New Orleans market ~WVUE~While on the 4th floor of the Amoco building in Downtown New Orleans, Lapeyre tried searching through mortgage records on Wednesday so his clients have the documents needed to officially close on the sale of their homes. Lapeyre, however, says he can't finish, and adds neither can any other title attorney in the city, because the electronic database with the information is down--more than a week now and counting. "Real estate is on hold,” Lapeyre said. “Until the system gets fixed."

~You know that post I wrote yesterday? That whole outreach to your community thing cause its important to know your neighbors in these economic and political times? Yeah, I still agree with what I wrote – even more now because not even on my most cynical day could I have expected the fantastic amounts of utter shit I had to deal with in the headlines throughout yesterday. I know I’m not alone in this, but man, how’s a guy supposed to do his job when every time he glances at his computer screen he sees a headline like: LAWMAKER WHO APOLOGIZED TO BP MAY CHAIR HOUSE ENERGY PANEL. Nope, not kidding at all.
