New Orleans Adult Entertainment: Jerry E. Smith, Federal Judge Upset By Obama’s Supreme Court Comments …
April 15, 2012
… They say, `I really wish you hadn’t done that,’” Jones said with a laugh.
Somin, who himself wrote a Supreme Court amicus brief for the Washington Legal Foundation in favor of striking down the federal health care law’s individual mandate, said Smith hasn’t been shy about taking positions many conservatives wouldn’t support.
“You don’t need to take my word for it because the decisions are available in the public record,” he said.
Somin cited two of Smith’s opinions as examples: a 2003 decision that struck down a San Antonio ordinance restricting the location of adult businesses on First Amendment grounds, and a 2001 ruling in a drug case that held a homeowner has a “reasonable expectation of privacy” when police searched a vehicle owned by somebody else but parked on the homeowner’s driveway.

New Orleans Adult Entertainment: Locked Down
April 15, 2012
Born of a jam session at last year’s Bonnaroo, a festival named after Dr. John’s 1974 LP Desitively Bonnaroo, Locked Down is a record made by pros steeped in vintage rock and R&B – not just Auerbach and his crew, but Rebennack himself, the son of a record-shop owner who began his career in the 1950s as a teenage sideman and arranger.
Rebennack played guitar until he got a finger blown off trying to protect a bandmate from a pistol-whipping at age 21; he then made the keyboard his primary instrument. On Locked Down, he smears electric-piano tones all over; the Farfisa solo on “Revolution” is a squealing wonder, the looping riff on “Getaway” a ferocious groove engine. Meanwhile, Auerbach shares guitar duties with kindred old-schooler and garage-rock vet Brian Olive; the pair supply spinal rhythm on the Stax/Volt-style single “Revolution,” counterpoint dazzle on “Big Shot” and solo fireworks (via Auerbach) on the pimp-rolling title track.
Collectively, Phoenix played strong against a weakened, exhausted, and short-handed Hornets squad, who were without such stars as Emeka Okafor and Eric Gordon and playing their fifth game in six nights.
The Suns got the advantage early over the Hornets after Steve Nash made a driving layup in the opening minute of the game. Phoenix held on to the lead through most of the game, save for a 15-second stretch in the second period when small forward Al-Farouq Aminu turned a bad pass by Hakim Warrick into a 25-foot three-pointer to give New Orleans a very brief 33-32 lead.
While Planet Orange’s bench was a bit troubled around this point in the contest, as evidenced by the Hornets comeback, Sebastian Telfair’s layup put Planet Orange back in the driver’s seat and some pimp playing by Robin Lopez and Michael Redd helped stabilize things for the Suns, who went into halftime with a 50-41 lead.
… We know that getting down five points, 10 points, it isn’t the end of the world; and being up five or 10 points doesn’t mean the game is over,” he said. “We’ve been through so many situations like that this year. Being up and being down doesn’t mean the game is over.”
Self claims to be having a “blast” leading his team through these nip-and-tuck games.
He could have fooled about 73,000 fans Saturday night.
The Jayhawks’ coach, with one title already on his resume, stomped and twirled and gesticulated like a wild man on the elevated court inside the Superdome, theatrics at their best on college basketball’s biggest stage.
Later he appeared cool and relaxed, like someone who had just walked out of a massage parlor, perhaps because the same story had played out so many times before.
These arrests were reported by law enforcement authorities.
Nicole Lanau , 26, 1104 Taft St., Metairie, was arrested April 3 at Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna and booked with 12 counts of forgery, bank fraud and theft valued at $1,500 or more.

In a March 30th ruling, Judge Martin L. C. Feldman of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued an opinion concluding that the sex offender registration requirement under CANS violated the Equal Protection Clause. The State, wrote Judge Feldman, could not “credibly serve up even one unique legitimating governmental interest [to] rationally explain” why those convicted under the CANS statute were singled out for sex offender registration, while individuals convicted of identical conduct under Louisiana’s prostitution statute were not required to register.
…
Previously, people accused of soliciting sex for a fee in Louisiana could be criminally charged in two ways: either under the prostitution statute or under the solicitation provision of the Crime Against Nature statute. A CANS conviction carried harsher penalties than a prostitution conviction, including the sex offender registration requirement. Police and prosecutors had unfettered discretion in choosing which to charge.
