… These membership options are called ‘pathways options’ and were developed nationally by matching grade-level preferences and availability,” Addy said. “The troop option offers the same group of girls the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, usually over a span of nine to 12 months. The event option is for girls who like to pick and choose from a menu of events that interest them.
“And the camp option allows girls to participate in the outdoors and/or focus on environmental education.”
The series pathway, Addy said, “gives girls the opportunity to explore a specific theme or topic without making a long-term commitment or joining a troop.”
“And the travel pathway presents girls with opportunities to prepare, plan, ‘money-earn’ and participate in travel opportunities through group travel, council-sponsored trips or nationally sponsored excursions.”

NEW ORLEANS — An Orleans Parish criminal court employee was arrested on Wednesday on accusations of soliciting a prostitute.
Steven Whatley was arrested by New Orleans police officers minutes after he left work Wednesday at the Clerk of Courts office.
Police said he solicited sex from an undercover officer posing as a prostitute.
After learning of the arrest, Clerk of Criminal Court Arthur Morrell suspended Whatley, saying his policy is that no one with an arrest record or conviction can be employed by the clerks office.
However, Whatley was convicted of murder and served time in the 1970s, but Morrell said Whatley was already on the job when he took over as the clerk of court.
Morrell said Whatley received favorable evaluations so he kept him on.

Key to lowering the murder rate in the short term, is targeting known violent criminals. Consider the recent spat of murders by Telly Hankton and his gang, well in advance of the murders, it was clear that Hankton and of his cohorts had lengthy criminal records, some of which included prior arrests for alleged murder. Two years ago, Police Chief Riley referred to Hankton as one of the most dangerous men in New Orleans. The Police department should have targeted Hankton and people like him with aggressive investigation and interference. Every direction Hankton or his affiliates turned, there should have been officers ready and waiting to make arrests for any major or minor infraction. Making it difficult for murderers to move or operate would have the dramatic effect of lowering the murder rate in the short term while we await results from Mayor Landrieu’s long term strategies.
Regrettably, Chief Serpas has targeted non-violent crime like prostitution and graffiti, but regrettably, he has failed to demonstrate an ability to lead an effort to target murders in New Orleans.

Bratton, now a chairman of Kroll Inc., a consulting company, has long been a proponent of the “broken windows” philosophy of policing, which holds that police should respond to low-level crimes, such as graffiti and vandalism, because they create an environment where more serious crime can occur.
In New Orleans, city leaders have asked police to shift their focus away from minor offenses, encouraging officers to issue summonses instead of making arrests when possible. Statistics show cops are making far fewer arrests than they did two years ago.
“I am a strong ‘broken windows’ advocate. It is not an end in itself, but it is a critical tool in the tool kit,” Bratton said after his speech. He added that every city has to decide what level of misconduct creates unacceptable disorder — graffiti; street prostitution; gang members loitering. “The idea is that this creates so much fear in people’s lives every day, if they see disorder and they see police not disrupting that disorder.”

Benson December Coriolant Arrested ThursdayPOSTED: 8:55 am CDT November 4, 2011UPDATED: 9:19 am CDT November 4, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — A Florida man has been charged with arranging for a teenage girl to travel to New Orleans to work as a prostitute.
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten’s office says 29-year-old Benson December Coriolant, of Orlando, was taken into federal custody Thursday to face charges in an indictment unsealed on Oct. 24.
Prosecutors say the victim was about 14 years old when Coriolant recruited her in 2009 to work for him as a prostitute. He plied her with alcohol and drugs to control her behavior, prosecutors say.
Prosecutors say the girl worked as a prostitute in New Orleans for about a month last year before she was arrested and sent back to relatives in Orlando.

Now that the GOP has become so dominant that the Democratic Party can’t even field candidates for major offices, there’s a new swing electorate in Louisiana: Democratic voters. As we saw in last month’s statewide elections, the landscape gives this nominally powerless minority some real power.
And that could spell trouble for those GOP politicians who veer too far to the right, even in a state that votes overwhelmingly Republican. In the case of arch-conservative U.S. Sen. David Vitter, it may already have.
By any standard, the senator has made an extraordinary comeback since he hit bottom in 2007, the year his prostitution scandal broke. Not only did he survive, he triumphed when he ran for reelection last year and trounced Democrat Charlie Melancon — one of those mythical Cajun “John Breaux Democrats”– by linking him to an unpopular Democratic president.

Filmed in New Orleans in 2007, Louis was shot in tandem with a traditional two-hour feature film in colour and sound titled Bolden, yet to be released. These were audacious projects for a first time director, costing over $10 million.
Louis pays homage to Armstrong and Chaplin in particular, and to the beginnings of jazz and cinema in general. It cleverly recreates the exuberant, physical slapstick style and contrasting pathos of the early silent black and white films, the only obvious update being the cheerfully overt raunchiness of the frequent brothel scenes.
The film puts a Chaplinesque spin on Armstrong’s early boyhood, involving him in a complicated, fictitious plot about a corrupt politician (an excellent performance in zestful Chaplin style by Jackie Earle Haley) and a prostitute (Shanti Lowry). Authentic details of  Louis’s boyhood are blended in – his job on the coal cart, his tuition at the coloured waifs’ home.
