A photographer's journey through ALS in black and white
The medical test felt routine. The mood, casual. Then-60-year-old photojournalist Rusty Costanza — known for his ethical introspection, particularly when documenting human suffering — lay relaxed on an examination bed. The neurologist rolled his stool closer to Costanza's feet and pierced a thin needle probe into the muscle of his leg. A technician watched close by as the computer’s audio sounded a faint background hiss. Normal. Routine.

Guest Column: Remembering Shirley Scott
By Ted Jackson Contributing columnist On April 15 the community gathered to celebrate the life of Shirley Scott, long-time columnist for the Urbana Daily Citizen. Not knowing what kind of ceremony would take place, I penned the following words prior. I thought the community might like to read my recollections of being her student, friend and colleague. Graham High School, fall of 1996. Everyone was talking about Dolly, the genetically-engineered sheep.

6 reading recommendations: Notable Louisiana nonfiction
This short list of notable, Louisiana-focused nonfiction books might help folks with gift-giving this holiday season. I picked up most of the following books at the public library, so there’s a good chance you can find them at your local branch as well. I do read novels, but for whatever reason, I have read a lot more nonfiction based in Louisiana over the past year. So this list focuses exclusively on nonfiction books – and it’s probably a little heavy on political content.

Do you think Lamar County commissioners should go ahead and purchase the 7 acres at 2805 N. Main St. for future use? Concerned about soil conditions surrounding underground fuel storage tanks at a former Shell station, Lamar County Commissioners’ Court on Monday again stalled on a contract to purchase about 7 acres at 2805 N. Main St. but were in agreement for the need of a roughly $4.5 million facility for a backup emergency operations center/ classroom, office space and storage facility.
Whipping Inflation May Require Chancing a Recession
In the ideal outcome for the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve will fine-tune monetary policy just enough to bring down inflation but not too much that consumers stop buying and GDP growth stalls. That’s why raising interest rates without tipping the country into recession is called the “Goldilocks” scenario. In this scenario, everything for the Fed works out “just right”: the country gets dramatically lower inflation, strong employment, and no recession.
Ted Cruz GRILLS Ketanji Brown Jackson on CRT. Twitter reacts: 'That's racist'

Jackson first denied ever having studied critical race theory and claimed it “doesn’t come up in the work that I do as a judge.” "I've never studied critical race theory, and I've never used it. It doesn't come up in the work that I do as a judge," Jackson stated. "With respect, I find that a curious statement," Cruz responded.

All hail the No-Brainer Freeze. Ted Jackson/The Times-PicayuneNew Orleans Saints offensive lineman stand by as the refs discuss the penalty on the Cincinnati Bengals that helped the Saints to the game-winning touchdown. New Orleans Saints fans will long remember the play that helped them pull out a critical 34-30 victory against Cincinnati this season. And so, too, will the Bengals, in particular, Pat Sims, the poor defensive tackle who fell victim to the trickery.

Credit risk transfers are key to GSEs' exit strategy
We all know the story. Amidst a widespread and imprudent weakening of credit standards and a complete failure by the credit rating agencies to properly assess risk, the housing finance market imploded in 2008. Probably the biggest wipeout was in the then privately owned mortgage securitizers, the GSEs, where every one of their mortgage-backed securities carried an implicit federal guarantee. Fast forward to 2020 and a lot has changed at the government sponsored enterprises.
YOU OUGHT TO DO A STORY ABOUT ME
Straight talk to blacks and whites about the realities of racism. In her feisty debut book, Oluo, essayist, blogger, and editor at large at the Establishment magazine, writes from the perspective of a black, queer, middle-class, college-educated woman living in a “white supremacist country.” The daughter of a white single mother, brought up in largely white Seattle, she sees race as “one of the most defining forces” in her life.
Now is not the time to "get behind" the dear leaders.
October 21st, 1966 We are in a schoolroom; on the eve of the half-term holidays. In a few seconds the vast mound of dirt and coal waste and mud on the hillside above us will start to slide downhill. Most of us will die, and those who live will live forever with the unspeakable guilt of not dying. Those who have been paid well to keep us safe will face no punishment.

Euro surges in October: the start of a multi-year trend?
The euro surged against the dollar, EUR/USD, last month in a powerful bounce that saw the currency rise for the first three weeks of October, one of the few times this has occurred – the euro rally was the most powerful since early 2018 - in a nearly two-year greenback uptrend, a period in which the US dollar rose 11% against the euro at its peak late last month.

Industry leader: Don’t let the EPA hurt Gulf fishermen
I’ve been fishing and shrimping in the Gulf of Mexico since I was 15 years old--for over forty years now. As my father and grandfather would say, it’s in our family’s blood. For many of us here in Venice, Louisiana, fishing is not just a family tradition, it’s in the fabric of our community. Our local economy relies on sustainable fishing, and when fishermen can’t make ends meet, our whole town feels it. Recently, restaurants have seen fewer customers, and several have closed.

Bush attorney general, progressive Philly DA take aim at Orleans DA's 'fake subpoenas'

Philadelphia’s progressive district attorney and a U.S. attorney general appointed by President George W. Bush might have vastly different politics, but they can agree on one thing: that New Orleans prosecutors crossed a line with bogus “subpoenas.” DA Larry Krasner and former AG Michael Mukasey are among the 36 prosecutors who signed onto a friend-of-the-court brief filed Friday in a federal civil rights lawsuit targeting Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro.

James Gill: These brainy scientists set out to save Louisiana's coast. They may wind up in jail.
The story revolves around scientists from Egypt and China, Dutch software developers, a nonprofit research institute established by the Louisiana legislature and the coastal science department at Tulane University. The focus of this brainy consortium is the hydrology of the Delta and our rapidly disappearing wetlands. How it must warm the heart when an international rescue mission takes arms against a sea of troubles that threatens to remove southern Louisiana from the face of the earth.
Should technology to save the coast be available to everyone? A scientist facing charges thinks so
|
Who should have access to the complex software able to predict changes to Louisiana’s endangered coast as billions of dollars are pumped into projects in the coming decades to curb coastal degradation? That question is at the heart of a high-stakes dispute in which two local coastal scientists were hit with criminal charges earlier this month. It has also forced a debate over who owns computer programs built on traditionally free, open-source data.

In government, as in life, choices define us. In Louisiana, the choices we make today will determine what kind of future we have, and even, where that future will be. Over the past century, our state, the federal government and private industry have made choices that have allowed us to live here, while also taking advantage of the natural resources at our disposal.
The search for Jackie Wallace
One foot in front of the other, the hulking old man trudged up the ramp to the Pontchartrain Expressway. A cold wind stiffened his face, so he bundled tighter and kept walking. His decision was made. A life full of accolades and praise meant nothing to him now. A man who was once the pride of his New Orleans hometown, his St. Augustine alma mater and his 7th Ward family and friends was undone. He was on his way to die. The man was tired.
