As New Orleans exposes its complexity to Anna, so does Jordan, who has an unusual link with Clare Sullivan, a Seattle actress suspected of setting a fire that killed her family.
“Burn” moves with a breathless urgency as Anna learns the pace of the city – and the vagaries that are different than what she’s accustomed to. In the Rocky Mountains, “the clean dry air scoured the skin, polished the bone, and honed Anna’s senses to a keen edge.” But in New Orleans, “spring’s perfume was lazy and narcotic, hinting of hidden things, languid hours, and secrets whispered on breath smelling of bourbon and mint.”
Barr, who lives in New Orleans, vividly leads Anna on an insider’s tour, from voodoo shops, to strip clubs to a brothel. Yet Barr doesn’t forget the French Quarter, the “Crescent City’s somnolent hum” and the neighborhoods being rebuilt post-Katrina.

In 2000 Alex Jones infiltrated the encampment and caught exclusive video footage of a bizarre mock human sacrifice ritual, known as “the cremation of care”, under a 40 foot stone owl that the members refer to as Molech.
Attendees dress up like Klan members in hooded robes and perform druidic pagan ceremonies to mark the spectacular finale of the event.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is scheduled to address a throng of rich and powerful men on Friday under the towering redwoods at the Bohemian Grove as the annual encampment along the Russian River in Monte Rio enters its final weekend.
No one other than Bohemian Club members and their guests will hear the governor’s speech, which is — like everything that transpires during the 17-day midsummer enclave — done in absolute privacy.
Plutocrats and powerbrokers, including former presidents, annually flock to the 2,700-acre wooded retreat where neither women, other than grove employees, nor outsiders of either gender are permitted.
“It’s a private gentleman’s club,” club spokesman Sam Singer said. “People are coming to get away from the duties of daily life. They don’t desire to be on the front page of The Press Democrat or The New York Times.

NEW ORLEANS — Talk about Republican Sen. David Vitter’s worst political nightmare – a surprise challenger with all the right conservative credentials and none of the baggage of the incumbent’s prostitution scandal.
Chet Traylor, the first Republican elected to Louisiana’s Supreme Court since Reconstruction, made a last-minute decision to take on Vitter after a fresh scandal for the first-term lawmaker: An aide had remained on Vitter’s payroll after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a knife-wielding incident with an ex-girlfriend.
…
The incumbent has responded to Traylor’s entry into the race in much the same way he handled the prostitution scandal, by keeping quiet about it. His campaign declined to comment for this story.
In 2007, Vitter would confess only to a “serious sin” after his phone number turned up among records for a Washington prostitution ring. He tersely denied later accusations that he was a customer of New Orleans prostitutes and again declined to answer questions.

Officer Melvin Williams was working overtime that morning in the NOPD’s 1st District, though he was assigned to the 6th District in Central City. Colleagues regard him as an aggressive cop who has long worked the front lines in the city’s fight against crime. He is known for his street savvy and network of snitches.
In the neighborhoods, Williams is also well-known. Young men talk of him in almost mythic terms, recalling cat-and-mouse chases with the cop they call “Flat-Top,” a nickname derived from his tight buzz-cut.
That morning, Williams was training a cop just out of the academy, Matthew Dean Moore. Moore had joined the force months earlier after a minor-league hockey career with the now-defunct New Orleans Brass. On the ice, the Canadian native was known as a bruiser, an enforcer, prized more for his fists than his puck-handling skills.
The six-paragraph police report Moore and Williams later filed states the pair was on “routine patrol” in an area known for “high street-level drug trafficking, prostitution and where drug users frequent to purchase illegal contraband.”

…

HoopsVibe’s Very Quick Call: No doubt about it, Chris Paul to the New York Knicks has been in the works for weeks.
After all, Paul and the New Orleans Hornets couldn’t possibly last. Not in today’s polarized NBA, where a few big spenders dominate and the rest of the league gets the table scraps.
New Orleans as a market can’t generate enough revenue to provide Paul with a supporting cast. And New Orleans’ owner, George Shinn, either lacks the pockets or will to personally pay for talent.
So it wasn’t a if, but a when. When would the point guard tire of small market New Orleans and demand a trade to a major market.
Enter the Knicks.
New York is the media capital of the world. They play in historic Madison Square Gardens. Owner James Dolan has no issue throwing money around like a multi-platinum rapper at the strip club.
