TeleNet Marketing Grows for Eighth Consecutive YearBy PR Services
BOGART, Ga. -- TeleNet Marketing Solutions saw its revenues increase by nearly 7 percent in 2012, marking the eighth-straight year of growth for the business-to-business lead generation firm.
In 2012, the firm worked with seven new companies -- including three with annual revenues of more than $1 billion -- and grew from 240 to 254 employees. The success, said TeleNet Vice President of Sales and Marketing Kathy Rizzo, can be traced to the company's integration with the businesses it represents.
"TeleNet has set itself apart from other lead generation and business-to-business telemarketing companies by the extra work we put in with our different clients' sales teams," Rizzo said. "By integrating our efforts and tightening the communication between marketing and sales, our clients have seen more qualified leads turn into new customers."
TeleNet consults with clients to determine the right lead-to-sales handoff for their organization, Rizzo said. When the lead handoff is well defined, everyone benefits; marketing teams generate a higher return on their investment and sales organizations close more business, she added.
Gregg Garrett, TeleNet's chief executive officer and co-founder, said the firm's innovative thinking and teleprospecting approaches have led to its long-term success. More than 30 companies – many of them in the high-tech sector – count on TeleNet for generating and nurturing leads through teleprospecting.
Founded outside of Atlanta in 1999 with three employees, TeleNet now has more than 250 employees who design and deploy business-to-business teleprospecting campaigns focused on generating leads and nurturing prospects. But these campaigns aren't developed in a vacuum, Garrett said.
"We make it a point to consult with our clients' sales teams to discover the information and leads that are most important to them," Garrett said. "We strive to ensure a maximum return on investment for our clients, and that's why so many of them stay with us."

Peak wheat
|| Print |
|Archives - November 2008
|Saturday, November 01, 2008
The price of soft white wheat at Portland rocketed above $14 in January of this year but has drifted toward earth since then, still well above the $4 level, where it had stagnated for years. The value of Oregon's wheat production in 2007 ($360 million) was the 12th highest among the 50 states, and Washington ranked third. Eastern Oregon accounted for 88% of the state's 2007 production, which declined 13% since 2005 but, due to the spike in prices, the value of this harvest jumped 103% during the same period.

The next president of the United States must do right by our men and women in uniform. Our troops put their lives on the line to protect our right to vote, but untold thousands of them were unable to cast their own ballots on Tuesday. For shame.
Veterans groups and soldiers advocates have warned about military disenfranchisement for years. M. Eric Eversole, director of the Military Voter Protection (MVP) Project and a former litigation attorney in the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, reported that "more than 17,000 military and overseas voters were disenfranchised in 2008 because their ballots arrived after the deadline and had to be rejected."
That doesn't include the thousands more whose ballots never arrived or arrived at their bases too close to the election to be returned. The total number of troops affected this year could be more than double or triple that because of the relocation of nearly 70,000 military personnel out of Iraq and Afghanistan over the past year.
More alarming, the feds acknowledged last week that a transport plane that crashed at Shindand Air Base in Afghanistan on Oct. 19 was carrying 4,700 pounds of mail -- including an unknown number of absentee ballots.
Experts agree that a minimum 45-day mailing standard is needed to provide soldiers overseas sufficient time to get their ballots home. But the feds have done virtually nothing to ensure that laggard states comply with military voter protection statutes. In fact, the Obama administration has actively worked against pro-troop voting protection efforts by suing to stop Ohio's military enfranchisement reforms.
Moreover, according to a report by the Military Voter Protection Project released on Election Eve, the number of absentee ballot requests by both military members and other overseas voters in the battleground states of Virginia and Ohio has dropped 70 percent since 2008. Despite a federal law mandating that every base establish a voting assistance office (the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act), the Pentagon reported this summer that it could only contact such offices on half of the military's bases. In Wisconsin alone this election cycle, at least 30 municipalities failed to send absentee ballots to members of the military before the 45-day election deadline.
On Monday, GOP Sens. John Cornyn, Kelly Ayotte, John McCain, Rob Portman and Marco Rubio raised the issue with President Obama's Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The group noted that the DoD's Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA) had documented widespread problems experienced by overseas military voters during the last midterm elections, but that the department had taken no steps to make mail streamlining and modernization changes recommended in 2010.
The most simple, efficient fix involves a centralized mail forwarding system for blank absentee ballots to accommodate transient servicemen and servicewomen. The U.S. Postal System already has a similar system in place for civilian use.
"We are perplexed as to why DoD did not do everything in its power to modernize the system for redirecting blank ballots in order to eliminate this roadblock for military service members," the senators told Panetta. Perplexed? Try steamed. Outraged. Livid. "Our men and women in uniform should be able to participate in the very same democratic system of government that they defend, not be relegated to mere spectator status because their ballot never reached them."
The profligate Obama administration -- which squandered trillions of taxpayer dollars on a failed stimulus law, billions on dozens of now-bankrupt green boondoggles, billions to the Muslim Brotherhood-coddling government of Egypt, and multimillions on the first lady's junkets in Spain and around the world -- has the audacity to blame funding woes for its neglect of military enfranchisement reform. A White House less focused on revenge and redistribution would put the rights of those who secure our blessings of liberty first. They deserve nothing less.

As we approach the end of series nine of The X Factor there are two questions that need answering. Who is going to win? And which judges are going to be back next year? With rumours swirling about a possible return for ex-judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Cheryl Cole, none of this year's panel can claim that their seat is secure. Even Louis Walsh.
Plus, with Gary Barlow heading back into the studio with Take That and Tulisa suddenly out of favour in the charts, maybe this year's mentors won't want to come back for another spin on the X Factor roller coaster. Digital Spy wants to know who you guys want to see return and who you'd happily see ditched. Is Gary Barlow still the No.1 Head Judge for you? While others were losing their heads over Rylan Clark's sub-towie nonsense, Mr Barlow remained firm and didn't »

SPACEMAN Deluxe Hardcover Now Available from DC
From the Eisner award-winning team that brought you the acclaimed crime epic 100 Bullets comes SPACEMAN, a deluxe edition hardcover (collecting issues 1-9 of the mini-series and the short story that started it all, originally published in Strange Adventures #1,) that is less science fiction and more science hell.
Writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso present a not-so-distant future, where the environment and economy have collapsed and Orson, a hulking, lonely loser who was genetically engineered to withstand the harsh journey to Mars, is lost in a world he wasn't meant to live in.
With the space program now defunct, Orson spends his days collecting scrap metal and dreaming of the life he was promised, finding himself trapped in a seriously harsher reality. That is, until he finds himself at the center of a celebrity child kidnapping case. Seeing his chance to be a hero, Orson takes matters into his own hands...
Azzarello got the idea for the story while sitting in a bar watching the news with a friend and bio-engineering professor in Chicago. A master of dialect, Azzarello used text messaging as inspiration for the way Orson speaks!
Welcome to science hell!

Recipe: Brown-Sugar-Cured Salmon
The salt and sugar cure, laced with sweet spices, both flavors the fish and firms up its flesh, giving it a meaty, silky texture.
Serves 4
This grilled and smoked salmon recipe by the food writer Betty Fussell calls for curing the fish for several hours with salt, brown sugar and spices before smoking it over indirect heat on your grill. While the fatty fish absorbs the smoke beautifully, the fish can also be successfully cooked in a grill pan, or under the broiler. The salt and sugar cure, laced with sweet spices, both flavors the fish and firms up its flesh, giving it a meaty, silky texture. Serve it with a crisp salad for a light supper, or with rice for something more substantial.
4 skin-on, center-cut wild king or other salmon fillets (2½ pounds total)
¼ cup light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground mace
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
Olive oil
1½ cups hickory chips, soaked for 30 minutes and drained
1. Pat fish dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine sugar, salt, pepper, spices and zest. Rub mixture all over fish. Place in a dish, cover and let cure in the fridge for at least four hours and preferably eight hours. Rinse fillets and pat dry. Generously oil salmon.
2. Light the grill. Once coals are hot, scatter drained hickory chips over coals. (If you're using a gas grill, place them in a disposable metal pan on the grill next to the salmon.)
3. Place salmon flesh-side down on grill and cover, closing top vent so not much smoke is released. Smoke salmon, covered, for about five to six minutes, then flip. (If the fish is sticking to the grill grate, then it's not ready to flip.) Cook for another three to 10 minutes, depending upon how hot your fire is. The fish is done when the interior is medium pink and the exterior crisp and smoky. Serve with lemon wedges.

Diverse, sold-out crowd embraces Legend
More than 2,400 fans headed to the Riverside Theater last night in Downtown Milwaukee to see John Legend.
Legend hasn't been here since he opened for Stevie Wonder at Summerfest in 2009, and Milwaukee warmly welcomed him back to one of the area's best venues. Opening with "Made to Love," Legend made sure if you were not already on your feet, you got the hell up and moved to his music. A mix of old and new material was weaved throughout the night, with hits such as "Save Room," "Let's Get Lifted," "Caught Up" and a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" were included in 26-song set.
Legend joked, "I need some alone time with you, Milwaukee," when he sat behind his stately baby grand piano for a solo mini-set of hits that included some of my favorites – "Good Morning" and "Ordinary People." Legend's a smooth operator, and everyone there knew it.
It felt a bit manufactured at times, but all in all, I bought what he was selling and I'd see him again in a heartbeat.
Winner of nine Grammy Awards and numerous chart-topping albums, Legend drew one of the most diverse crowds I've seen at a Milwaukee concert in a really long time.
I was proud to see it. I'm in a mixed race relationship myself, and while it has not been an issue for us, I am very aware it could be for other people without the same respect level or communication we have.
Much has been written lately about the racial divide in our city. It is a sad state to be in. Last night gave me hope. Music is a universal language. If we can't find common ground anywhere else, let's keep using this language, Milwaukee. Please.

Excerpts from Leo Honeycutt's authorized biography, Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana
Editor's Note: A contemporary of former Gov. Edwin Edwards, Jim Brown — former state representative, secretary of state and insurance commissioner — is beside himself these days, flush with newfound publishing success. Like Edwards, Brown served time in prison on federal charges, and like Edwards, he has sought to straighten the record in prose. In Brown's case, it was his 2004 self-penned book, Justice Denied: How the Federal Justice System Failed Former Insurance Commissioner Jim Brown. Self-published and now distributed through his own imprint — The Lisburn Press — the book has sold moderately well, so it's little surprise Brown, now a political consultant and commentator in Baton Rouge, was unprepared for the success of Lisburn's latest title, Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana.
"I sucked it up and went with 10,000 [copies]," Brown recalls of the initial order. His first instinct was to order 5,000 and see how sales went. Those 10,000 copies sold out in three days. Another 10,000 are already accounted for, and Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million and other retailers are jockeying for more. "Edwin hasn't been on a ballot in 20 years and is in jail right now," Brown says. "I had no idea."
Edwards generated more than his share of detractors during his life in politics, but some unlikely alliances were also forged. Following his 2000 conviction on racketeering charges and throughout his incarceration, the late former Gov. Dave Treen — a Republican and ideological opposite of Edwards — lobbied President George W. Bush for Edwards' pardon. Bush left office without making the pardon, and Treen, whose one term as governor (1980-84) was book-ended by two of Edwards' three terms, died last October, his last public mission unfulfilled.
"I believe the federal government, and by that I mean Judge Frank Polozola and U.S. attorney Jim Letten, doubled [Edwards'] sentence from the prescribed five years purely out of vindictiveness," Treen writes in the foreword to Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana. "They didn't like him." Treen later adds, "Even if Governor Edwards were guilty of what he was convicted, he certainly never stole a dime from taxpayers. That's one of the few things he was never accused of. I'm not even saying he was guilty at all, because the investigation and trial were certainly dubious."
Written by award-winning broadcast journalist, filmmaker and novelist Leo Honeycutt, Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana is an engrossing account of the life and times (and trials) of Edwin Washington Edwards, a poor boy from Marksville who turned the G.I. Bill into a law career in Crowley, and who starred in a modern Louisiana version of a Greek tragedy spanning the last third of the 20th century. The biography is based largely on countless hours of interviews of Edwards by Honeycutt. Financial underwriting for the project was provided to no small extent by B.I. Moody III, owner of Louisiana State Newspapers, which publishes The Crowley Post-Signal, The Abbeville Meridional and more than 25 additional small newspapers around the state. LSN papers are generally conservative politically, but the Moody family, after whom UL's college of business is named, has been a staunch supporter of Edwards. After President George W. Bush refused to pardon Edwards or commute his sentence, the local newspaper chain penned a scathing front-page editorial, noting that Bush would "go down in history as the worst president ever and deservedly so due to his ineptness, incredible incompetence, and his lack of truthfulness, intelligence and compassion." Shortly afterward, however, LSN wrote a front-page mea culpa, noting that the editorial offended "the majority" of its readers and explaining that the editorial page, along with decisions to publish such opinions, is reserved for LSN corporate rather than local management at individual papers.
The former governor, meanwhile, will be sprung later this year, but he's already getting his side of the story out — the bio hit shelves three weeks ago. Edwards is expected to walk out of the minimum-security Oakdale Correctional Facility sometime around Thanksgiving, and his former colleague in state government will be ready. "Hell," boasts Brown, "I'm going to slap a new cover on it and have a foreword by Edwin!"
Following are excerpts from Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana, reprinted with permission from The Lisburn Press. To order a copy ($28.95), contact Louisiana Distributors at (337) 266-2105 or go to edwinedwards.net.
From chapter 3 — Right Out of Law School and I Couldn't Get a Job
Because of a special program offered to veterans to catch them back up with coursework, Edwin finished his undergraduate degree in only 60 hours. He whistled through law school by the end of 1948, graduating in January 1949. The same program also relieved Edwin of having to take the bar exam. On February 16, 1949, the ambitious son of poor parents became, at the age of 21, Edwin Washington Edwards, Esquire. Yet, with impeccable Dean's List grades, not a single firm appeared interested.
EWE: "I tried for a job with Phillips Petroleum to be a corporate lawyer but I didn't get the job. Right out of law school and I couldn't get a job. In Marksville, I thought I might team up with an attorney named Philo Coco but found Marksville already had 28 lawyers for only 5,000 people."
Edwin knocked on door after door, typed up resume after resume, asked around for anyone needing legal help. Marksville attorneys didn't want any more competition. Audrey invited him to Crowley, Louisiana, where she and Andrew had been drawn to lead a fledgling Nazarene flock deep in the heart of Catholic country. Edwin's sister knew she and her husband were considered "heretics," espousing a doctrine of "heresy" to the Roman Catholic Church, but Audrey was gentle like her father and made friends quickly, even Catholic friends who didn't view her church as a threat.
Edwin's convictions had eased in that department. He could be Catholic to Catholics and Protestant to Protestants, but more importantly, he could be French to Cajuns, a singularly unifying asset. He checked the phone book, curious to see how many attorneys were in a town quadruple the size of Marksville and how many touted French-speaking ability. If Marksville had 28 attorneys, Crowley should have a hundred. To his astonishment, Crowley had only thirteen attorneys in the Yellow Pages. Walking along the town's main street, Parkerson, indeed he saw few attorney-at-law signs. Newly commissioned Attorney Edwin W. Edwards had hit the legal jackpot.
From chapter 6 — The Coonasses Win!
On April 13, three weeks before inauguration, Edwin received a standstill budget reflecting a $30 million deficit Governor McKeithen was leaving. The state's bank accounts were $12 million in the red. Observed Sam Hanna, "Mr. Edwards has an almost impossible task ahead of him, if he is successful in re-organizing state government and at the same time operating the state with current revenue without curtailing services."
Legalized gambling came up as a revenue source, proposed in conversation at a press convention by Insurance Commissioner-elect Sherman Bernard. Bernard insisted untaxed illegal gambling already existed in Louisiana. "I'm not in favor of legalized gambling," Edwin rebutted, surrounded by reporters. "It's not working in the states that have tried it and in a few years you're right back where you started. You still need money and you've added the problems that gambling attracts."

Festival President Edwin Edwards, right.
As lawmakers fought to continue deficit spending as they had under McKeithen, Edwin risked alienation, telling them sharply, "I don't care whose pet project gets turned over, whose relative gets fired, whose road doesn't get built, whose building isn't built. I will not permit my balanced budget proposal to be tampered with!" Quickly, opposition began to mount. Special interests lined up against his call for a new constitution but Edwin called them out, telling reporters, "Organized labor is all for a new constitution if it can be assured there will be no right-to-work provision in it. The city marshals' association is all for a new constitution if it is assured that the provision relating to city marshals is left alone. None of that belongs in a constitution and if that's the kind we'll have coming out of a convention, I'm for reprinting the old one and save the money."
On Inauguration Day, Tuesday, May 9, 1972, even Baton Rouge's Morning Advocate lauded his hard preparation.
"Gov. Edwards brings to the office experience as a state legislator and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He brings the vigor of young manhood and a zest for meeting challenges. He brings an inherent cognizance of the time to be light-hearted and the time to be solemn. He is endowed with far more than an average ration of political sagacity."
At the Inaugural Mass in St. Joseph's cathedral, New Orleans Archbishop Philip Hannan who presided over President Kennedy's funeral offered prayers for Edwin in a cadence Edwin remembered from Kennedy's requiem. Multicolored rays through stained glass bathed the Edwardses as the snow-fleeced archbishop spoke of unity.
Shortly after Edwin had won, someone fired a bullet through a window in the Edwards Law Office in Crowley.
The gunman was never found. On March 5, Robert Blanton, III, of Gonzales was arrested at Ryan Airport for having an illegal pistol silencer, leaving authorities to speculate he was plotting to kill Edwin. Blanton was later booked in a murder case.
As Mass continued, extraordinary security forces including the Secret Service lined the inaugural parade route and sealed off the capitol with heavy guard in the rotunda. Nearly 200 armed Louisiana State troopers joined 56 plainclothesmen in the crowd. Secret Service agents, FBI, deputy sheriffs, city police, and National Guard military police were called in. Ambulances stood by while the second floor trauma center of nearby Our Lady of the Lake Hospital staffed up for an emergency.
From chapter 8 — Bon temps Roulette to the Presidency?
As the 1970s peaked, television eclipsed newspapers as America's favorite source for news. The new workforce of twin paychecks had little time to read daily newspapers, quickly preferring the immediacy of broadcasts. To slow the exodus, newspapers competed by becoming still more indepth. Television and radio had limited minutes; newspapers had unlimited ink. Print reporters could thoroughly explain stories beyond the ten-second soundbites, but they were often overshadowed by the new army of superficial, blow-dried television reporters who did half the work for twice the pay.
|1971. Edwards presses the flesh in Opelousas on the campaign trail.
Print reporters looked for crucial information they could withhold or stall until TV reporters vacated the capitol at 6:00 p.m. The next morning's headlines were often more exciting as they held out for any shred of late-breaking accusation or controversy. If quick television stories directed readers to tomorrow's newspaper, print reporters had to drum up something better. To their advantage, newsmakers were often more apt to open up away from cameras and give a better quote, even if the newspaperman were later accused of having taken that quote out of context.
Despite a hostile press, at the close of the 1976 session Edwin wielded greater power and control. The Legislature allowed him to streamline and reorganize state government from 200 state agencies down to twenty cabinet-level departments, with eleven under his direct control. While consolidation would not be complete until the end of 1977, Edwin had the power to hire and fire across the spectrum of government. He also led lawmakers to increase homestead exemption, codify most of the state's election laws and commission a coastal zone resources management program. By the 1970s, marine biologists were sounding the alarm that Louisiana's coastline was disappearing into the Gulf, potentially destroying the seafood and petroleum industries.
Exasperated with the [Super]Dome [project], legislators additionally turned those operations over to Edwin and approved $14 million to kick-start the showplace. In turn, Edwin sought professional management, saying, "It's important to the New Orleans metropolitan area economy, as well as that of the state in general, to keep the Dome open." He enacted the session's death penalty and anti-abortion bills but, signing them, admitted they would likely be found unconstitutional. He signed them "because legislators overwhelmingly approved them. There's no question the legislature is more independent now than in the past." Opposing Senator Charles Barham admitted, "He is a man of his word and he fulfilled his promises. He did what he said he would do."
From chapter 12 — We're Both Wizards Under the Sheets
Saturday November 16 dawned as clear as the Picayune editorial: "Edwin Edwards vs. David Duke is the choice of our lives. For those who are tempted to sit this one out in disgust or complacency, we repeat: Edwin Edwards, our flawed former governor, is the only alternative to David Duke." Putting down paper and coffee, 150 Edwards campaign workers fanned out from Canal Street. In Lake Charles, dozens of Duke supporters met at an office building to do the same. Duke maintained contact from Metairie with seven field offices. Edwin, as always, posted motivated workers in each of Louisiana's 64 parishes to shuttle voters to the polls. For the October primary, Edwin's get-out-the-vote expenses topped $337,000. Duke spent nothing.

As polls closed at 8:00 p.m. and tallies began, America sat on the edge of its chair watching Louisiana. The race had become another proving ground for the creed of the country. And within minutes, Louisiana broadcast a loud message: while social problems endured, extremism was not the answer. Edwin leapt out front and never looked back. Duke's "silent majority" materialized for Edwin, giving him 61% of the vote to Duke's 39%. Polling well over one million, Edwin received the most votes of any governor in Louisiana history. Celebrating his fourth victory at The Monteleone, his appearance in the spotlight rattled chandeliers. "Tonight, Louisiana became first," he said, "first to turn back the merchant of hate, the master of deceit. Tonight is the first night of our journey to decency, to honesty, to fairness, to justice, to respect, to honor, and to hard work. I will make our people proud of our state, proud of our governor." In Baton Rouge, Duke told supporters, "Right doesn't win every battle, but right always triumphs in the end."
Edwin believed in a different right, especially where it concerned his power with lawmakers. He was disheartened by a sweeping exit poll showing an uphill battle ahead. In a survey conducted for ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN of 1,634 voters, fifty percent of those voting for Edwin said they went to the polls to vote specifically for Edwin; however, almost as many, 47 percent, said they voted for Edwin as a vote against Duke. But most discouraging of all, the survey exposed well over half, 62 percent, believed Edwin was guilty of political corruption. The acquittal in the Volz trials had made no difference. Regardless of evidence, he was branded for life.
Edwin was a local story, however. The national news focused not on Louisiana's repudiation of Duke as much as on the phenomenon of Duke, playing right back into his hands by giving airtime and a platform to continue a divisive message. "Perhaps the messenger was rejected," Duke told CNN's Newsmaker Sunday, "but the message wasn't. The people of this state and the people of this nation believe in what I believe in." Calling an end to junk news, at his own press conference Edwin humbly told reporters, "I want to be a good governor. I recognize the opportunity I have. We're going to do this right."
From chapter 17 — The Dead Body of Your Enemy Will Come Floating Down
Monday morning, October 21, 2002, dawned crisp on Club View Drive. Lacy fog rose from the lake behind his house like hovering ghosts but the blue skies above, for Edwin, meant a perfect day for flying. He had risen from the warmth of a plush antique bed alongside Candy instantly aware that when he lay down that night, it would be on a steel bunk at faraway Ft. Worth federal prison. He walked Caesar a last time, breathing in as much autumn air as his lungs could hold. He made mental snapshots of the way things were, knowing they would be different when he came back. If he ever did.
|1984. Inauguration day
At breakfast, Candy was unable to stop crying. Edwin stopped rattling off last-minute instructions and slipped into a bright red jogging suit, the only clothes he would carry. His son David and daughter Anna picked him and Candy up for the trip to the airport. An hour later, Edwin was copiloting David's twin-engine blue and white Mitsubishi MU-2 at 5,000 feet, with Anna and Candy in the cabin. As they cut across the heart of Louisiana, for one last time Edwin soaked up the pastoral patchwork of fields and forests he'd seen so many times from this vantage point during campaigns, of all the small towns and hamlets below where so many had welcomed him into communities and hearts. He had cut so many ribbons, made so many speeches, shaken so many hands, seen, listened to, and touched so many people. The needs were so great and he had done all he could.
Far too soon, the MU-2's rubber screeched on the runway in Ft. Worth. Edwin complimented his youngest on a fine landing. Renting a green Ford Taurus, the four dined at a Chili's restaurant. At the red and green Tex-Mex themed franchise, no one recognized the former governor of Louisiana. Once a king who ruled over legislators like Napoleon and Caesar, now he was anyone, unnoticed as he ate a hamburger, his last meal as a free man.

OCT 24 You gotta love it when they start eating their young, right? In this post in Politico, BP mouthpiece Geoff Morrell denies that his company's oil spill "ruined the Gulf." Instead, he says, it was Bobby Jindal's decision to divert fresh water into the salt water environment that caused massive losses to shrimp and oyster industries. The evidence doesn't back up any claims that the spill caused that harm, he says. Nothing to see here, move along.
OCT 24 The former mayor of Sorrento was arrested on dozens of child pornography charges, a post on The Creole reports here. Wilson Longanecker Jr. was arrested in his Ascension Parish mansion, the blog reports.
OCT 24 As Bobby Jindal's tenure as governor winds down, blogger Tom Aswell tells us to expect to see more and more of his appointees jumping ship. Some might get shown the door (or the federal indictment, as the case may be) and others are just going to want to avoid standing in "the inevitable unemployment line," he says.
OCT 24 Jim Brown is blogging about elections in this post. There's no one more recognizable when it comes to elections than he is, and yet he still had to show his ID, you know. He gives some easy-to-remember advice on the Amendments: vote against them all. This stuff needs to be handled by legislators, not added to the Constitution, he says.
OCT 24 Bobby Jindal's recent "magical" budget touch - you know, the one that turned a $140 million deficit into a $170 million surplus - is just imaginary, columnist James Gill tells us in this post. It's about as real as that story he tells about the "gold standard" of ethics, Gill says.
OCT 24 George Carter III, a teenage member of the group Kids Rethink New Orleans Schools, died this week, the Picayune reports here. Educators who knew him called him a "visionary." He certainly had some highly-developed ideas for his age, but despite his ability to provide positive ideas for helping kids in the city, in the end he wasn't able to escape NOLA's problems, either.
OCT 24 John Dickerson posts this slice-of-campaign-life look at Mary Landrieu on the trail in Louisiana. Republicans are playing to a runoff, he opines, meaning our state will become "a zoo" if it turns out this race will decide control of the Senate.
OCT 24 Bike lanes have been quite the topic of convo over in NOLA recently, what with streetspace, already at a premium downtown, being sacrified for them. In this post on the Uptown Messenger blog, Owen Courreges opines that the lanes are not really being constructed for people who ride bikes, but instead because developers seeking to make money downtown feel they are needed. He's also predicting that they will increase already nightmarish levels of traffic to new heights. Nah -- that couldn't happen!
OCT 23 Blogger Tom Aswell posts the photo that started making the rounds of the Facebook this week; it shows our governor and his lovely bride, all bright and smiley and holding big guns. The Jindals look a little posed, down to their carefully and properly placed index fingers. They're both grinning wide, displaying how comfortable they are with weaponry. Whee!
OCT 23 This fascinating post on The Lens opens the discussion of New Orleans as subject. C. W. Cannon talks about the concept of dual consciousness and how New Orleanians, especially, have experienced this condition post-Katrina. Cannon attended a recent conference about the issue at Tulane, where the discussion focused on how the romanticization of the city by outsiders masks real social problems.
OCT 23 Bayou Buzz is taking Gov. Bobby Jindal and the GOP to task here for the Ebola shrieking. The so-called "travel ban" makes no sense, and these politicians should have done their homework before coming up with this stunt, Stephen Sabludowsky writes.

Various Fuse Presents Shinedoe
- Words: Janet Tzou
- Label: Music Man
- XLR8R Rating: 8.5/10
Unfortunately, skilled female techno DJ/producers are still something of a rarity on the international circuit. Belgian DJ/producer and Intacto label chief Shinedoe offers an exception to the sausage fest, and her first mix CD for Fuse's franchise delivers a smoothly listenable, if somewhat safe, techno-and-house selection. Oddly, Shinedoe's flow mostly stays at one level, without much BPM variance; plus, opening with DJ Bone expounding upon the meaning of dance music feels a bit tired in 2007. Still, even amid talents like Ron Trent and Underground Resistance, Shinedoe's own "Dialogue" offers one of the brighter spots here. Check Dave Ellesmere's sweeping synth shuffle "Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday" for one of this year's most exceptional dancefloor finds.

We must work for progress in truly ethical biotechnologies and medical therapies that honor and affirm the value, worth, and dignity of every individual member of the human community. And we must speak expressly for those at the "edges of life" who have no voice.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
10/30/2012 (1 year ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: dignity of life, bio-ethics, adult stem cells, John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute, JP2SRI, Gospel of Life, Right to life, Dignity of Life, Karen Santorum, Rick Santorum
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - Sadly, the view that every human life has value and should be treated with dignity is no longer upheld in some realms of today's culture. How have so many strayed from such a fundamental belief?
For example, we see this in the area of medicine. The tradition of medicine has moved away from a covenant between physician and patient based on the Hippocratic oath of "first do no harm." Medical students today are unfamiliar with what this long-standing commitment says because most medical schools have eliminated it altogether, or have stripped it down to an unrecognizable oath of polite niceties.
In its place, a philosophy of utilitarian bioethics has emerged which fails to recognize the dignity of every human life at every age and stage. Alleging they are seeking to do the "greatest good for the greatest number", some medical and policy professionals have asserted the authority to determine whose life has value and whose life does not.
Some lives are defined as not worth living at all, others are classified as more valuable if sacrificed for those deemed to be of "greater value." Individuals with special needs become expendable as they need justification to receive scarce healthcare resources
We now live in a time where matters of life and death really are being decided for us. While these may seem like remote concepts -- matters appropriate for academics, physicians and lawyers - how we view the most vulnerable of our fellow humans actually affects us all.
Some experience this reality more directly than others, like our family. First, with the loss of our son Gabriel, and then later with the birth of our daughter Isabella who has a severe genetic disorder.
Deliberations in the ivory towers and decisions in the halls of Congress matter to life and death issues. Policies and ideas really do trickle down to everyday families as they struggle making ethical end-of -life decisions while caring for elderly parents, or navigate the social support network while trying to find much needed services for a child with special needs.
A recent University of Montreal study found that despite the dire warning health care providers give to families with children born with the genetic disorder Trisomy 13, their parents reported overwhelmingly that their lives were happy and rewarding despite the challenges and short life spans of their child.
Notably, their child was happy, too, in their short life. The families interviewed for the study, published in Pediatrics, reported that they felt the medical professionals too often viewed their disabled children in terms of a diagnosis and not as a unique baby.
We can learn from these families. It is in the home where we understand and appreciate the value of the individual person. It is the family, the community, and the body of faithful believers who bear witness to the exceptional dignity of the lives of every one of our loved ones.
And so we recognize the importance of bioethics with a foundation that values and protects every human being. We need those without a mistaken "greatest good for the greatest number" calculus to stand in the gap.
We must work for rigorous and fact-based science - and for progress in truly ethical biotechnologies and medical therapies that honor and affirm the value, worth, and dignity of every individual member of the human community.
And we must speak expressly for those at the "edges of life" who have no voice. And among those who need a voice more than ever are the unborn.
Throughout Rick's career in public service we have supported legislation and initiatives that support scientific research without destroying human life.
That is why we are proudly working on the Give Cures campaign with The John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute ("JP2SRI"). JP2SRI is a non-profit organization with a mission to create faster and more streamlined processes in regenerative medicine research. This institute recognizes the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
The Institute does not support or conduct human embryonic stem cell research and does not perform therapeutic cloning or somatic cell nuclear transfer. The Institute has created a new research model to accelerate the process to find ethical treatments and cures.
It uses a variety of adult stem cells - and induced pluripotent stem cells obtained from adult stem cells - to find cures and therapies. Its research respects the dignity of every human life. The truth is that great science is being conducted in the field of bioethics that affirms the dignity of life. It further affirms life by targeting help to those in need-from those fighting disease to the disabled.
We also proudly work with crisis pregnancy centers around the country who put their hands and feet to the march for life to get their message out that young girls and women are not alone and have real options in bringing a beautiful new life into the world. The support is there for people who want to affirm life. You can find your closest pregnancy crisis center to volunteer and support them here.
Planned Parenthood facilities deceptively advertise online as Crisis Pregnancy Centers - while at the same time they - and other abortion proponents - sue authentic Crisis Pregnancy Centers. They are trying to force them to "warn" women that they don't provide abortion services.
It is up to us to be a voice and a practical support to truly life affirming Crisis Pregnancy Centers. We must aid them in their critical and heroic efforts to help women and save babies.
As we travelled around the country, we met parents affirming life outside of the spotlight day in and day out. We witnessed compassionate healthcare professionals, families, and caregivers affirm life in their everyday work.
We saw the affirmation of life from those assisting in crisis pregnancy centers, caretakers assisting the disabled as if they were their own child, and those assisting the elderly nearing the end of their precious life.
These are the voices and lives that inspire us. These are the heroes and voices which we need to lift up in America. It is our honor to stand with these heroes who dedicate their lives to affirming the dignity of every human life.

AHS Varsity vs. Granbury at Aledo Bearcat Stadium, Football Senior Parent Night, 7:30 p.m.
The Community News • P.O. Box 1031 • 203 Pecan Dr. • Aledo, TX 76008 • 817-441-7661 • FAX: 817-441-5419
The much-heralded era of Tim Buchanan as Aledo High School football coach is apparently over.
Aledo ISD Superintendent Derek Citty announced Thursday afternoon that Buchanan's request that he be made full-time athletic director and relinquish his football coaching duties has been granted – effective immediately.
Defensive coordinator Steve Wood has been named the interim head football coach. The district will post the position for a permanent replacement after the 2014 football season.
Buchanan has coached the Bearcats since 1993, winning state championships in 1998, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013. This year's Bearcats earned preseason favorite status as the top team in the new Class 5A.
They are set to begin summer workouts Monday, Aug. 11 and open the season Aug. 29, inaugurating the new stadium at Baylor University in Waco against Cedar Park.
Coach Buchanan said he's been thinking about this over the last year since football season ended.
"The job is getting so big that it is getting more and more difficult to be football coach and athletic director," he said.
"It's hard to do a great job at both jobs in a district like Aledo. AD is a full-time job and football is a full-time job. No programs have suffered because I've been AD and football coach, but it is getting harder to do both. With the team we have coming back this year it's good time to do this.
"I've always made tough decisions that were good for Aledo ISD and good for my family, and this is no different. This just didn't happen overnight. This is something I have discussed with Coach Wood, my wife and Coach (Robbie) Jones (offensive coordinator).
"Coach Wood will make a great head football coach."

Global stocks down as U.S. aims to avoid 'fiscal cliff'
NEW YORK (Reuters) - World stocks slipped, the dollar gained and U.S. shares fell for a fifth day on Friday as the White House and U.S. lawmakers made a late attempt to avert the "fiscal cliff."
At the same time, expectations that Japan will inject new stimulus into its economy pushed the yen to a two-year low for a third straight day.
President Barack Obama and Democratic and Republican lawmakers were scheduled to meet on Friday afternoon as the deadline looms for reaching a budget deal to avert massive tax increases and spending cuts that could drag the economy - and others around the world with it - into recession.
The two sides will attempt to smooth over sharp differences on raising taxes on higher-income Americans and spending cuts in politically sensitive social welfare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. But investors were skeptical that a deal could be accomplished before the deadline.
The MSCI all-world share index was down 0.3 percent and the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 ended down 0.6 percent.
In U.S. trading, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 8.95 points, or 0.63 percent, at 1,409.15, and was on track for its longest losing streak in three months.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 93.15 points, or 0.71 percent, at 13,003.16, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 12.21 points, or 0.41 percent, at 2,973.69.
"There's a pretty good chance that we won't have something in hand by year-end," said Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. equity strategist at UBS, in New York. "It should be pretty obvious that that is now the majority case."
Golub, however, said investors were still counting on a deal that would avoid most of the tax hikes and spending cuts next year even if it does come after the deadline.
Allowing $600 billion of higher taxes and spending cuts to start in January would prevent U.S. debt spilling beyond a $16.4 trillion agreed limit. However, analysts fear the measures could wipe as much as 4 percent off the country's growth rate.
Energy companies were among the biggest Wall Street decliners, with shares of Exxon Mobil down 1.5 percent at $85.56.
The U.S. dollar edged up to a two-week high against major currencies as investors waited to see if U.S. politicians can strike a last-minute budget deal.
"Headline risk is likely to remain a driver of FX markets in the near term," said Eric Theoret, FX strategist at Scotia Capital in Toronto.
An agreement on the U.S. budget would be viewed as positive for riskier currencies such as the euro and Australian dollar, while a deadlock is deemed positive for the safe-haven and highly liquid dollar.
The dollar hit a two-week high against a basket of currencies at 79.930. It was last up 0.1 percent at 79.688.
The yen's unabated slide since Shinzo Abe took the helm as Japan's prime minister on Wednesday has taken the currency to two-year lows for three straight days. Abe has vowed to press for aggressive monetary stimulus to fight deflation.
The dollar was steady against the yen at 86.06 yen, having earlier risen to 86.63 yen, its strongest since August 2010. Traders reported options barriers at 86.75 and 87.00 yen.
In the U.S. bond market, benchmark Treasuries yields dropped to their lowest levels in two weeks as concerns that the economy would be harmed by tax hikes and spending cuts and a fall in consumer confidence spurred demand for safe-haven bonds.
Benchmark 10-year notes were last up 6/32 in price, with yields falling to 1.71 percent, down from 1.73 percent on Thursday and from a two-month high of 1.85 percent a week and a half ago.
U.S February crude slipped 7 cents, or 0.08 percent, to settle at $90.80. Trade was choppy, awaiting news on the U.S. budget talks, but the market was pressured by data showing that fuel stockpiles rose sharply and crude stocks fell less than expected last week.
In other commodity markets, U.S. gold futures for February delivery settled down $7.80, or 0.5 percent, at $1,655.90 an ounce in New York.
Traditionally a safe haven and inflation hedge that investors rush to in times of trouble, gold has lately behaved like a risk asset - often rising and falling with the stock market and sometimes following the dollar.
Despite the tensions over the U.S. budget talks, the mood in financial markets has been improving in recent weeks. Data from emerging economies has shown signs of a pick-up while analysts are hopeful that Europe may also soon bottom out.
A Reuters poll showed economists think China's factory activity probably expanded at its fastest pace in eight months in December.
