this morning we noticed that we were being bombarded from all over the country by "jacques roy" googlers.
naturally, we were curious as to what the alexandria mayor had done to garner so much national interest -- but not enough to google his name for ourselves.
jacques maurice roy is the name of the mayor of alexandria, louisiana;
it wasnt until a googler from general motors corporation in troy, michigan was doing a google image search "jacques roy arrest photo" that we went over to news.google.com and entered "jacques roy" to learn that the jacques roy that everyone is interested in -- is actually dr. jacques roy, "a texas physician," who along with six others were arrested tuesday, 28 february 2012, "on charges they bilked medicare and medicaid of $375 million from 2006 until last november."
we know that the local anti-roys are disappointed although the superstitious amongst them will probably take it as an omen.

excerpt:Significant damage was reported early Wednesday in Branson, after strong storms and possibly a tornado moved through the southern portion of Missouri.
many central louisianaians enjoy vacationing at branson, missouri.
National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Griffin says the apparent tornado moved through downtown Branson, heavily damaging the city's famous theaters.
Griffin says numerous injuries have also been reported in Buffalo, where the storm passed through a mobile home park.
Also hit in southwest Missouri were Lebanon and Buffalo. ~ read more
the petition for damages of abraham l. fields states that on or about 16 february 2011, he was "sitting in an automobile properly awaiting traffic to move at a caution light on highway 71 when he was confronted by officer [jeffrey] jeter of the cheneyville police department who immediately and without good cause arrested abraham l. fields for speeding."
mr. fields says that this was an unwarranted arrest, without good cause and therefore illegal.
mr. fields says that under the circumstances, officer jeter used unreasonable and unjustified force which violated his constitutional and personal rights.
also mr. fields states that while he was not resisting, that officer jeter pulled him out of the vehicle and caused him bodily injury.
he is pleading violations of the fourth, fifth and fourteenth amendments of the united states constitution (.pdf) and 42 usc sec 1983 and 42 usc sec 1988, as well as the louisiana civil code at articles 2315 (liability for acts causing damages) et seq., as well as various articles of the louisiana constitution (.pdf) of 1974, such as article one section two; article one section five and article one section twenty.
while mr. fields is suing the cheneyville police department through the village of cheneyville, it's curious why he didnt choose to make officer jeter, in his official capacity, a defendant. see for instance paragraph 13 of the petition.
the suit is filed by pineville attorney, b. gerald weeks and is assigned to ninth judicial district court judge harry randow.

snatched from rense.comwe agree with chief judge ulysses g. thibodeaux in his dissent.
[disclosure: we attended high school with mike gordon]
excerpt:Considering that the trial court and the majority, in an effort to support the imposition of the forty year sentence, cited cases that had lower sentences but more aggravating circumstances, I find the sentence of forty years at hard labor without the benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence is a needless infliction of pain and suffering compared to other cases in this jurisdiction and other jurisdictions.
[...]
The legislature created a sentencing range for armed robbery of no less than ten years and no more than ninety-nine years—an eighty-nine year spread.
The vast spread was because there are multiple and varying circumstances involved in the crime of armed robbery as noted above, and the trial courts are granted much leeway in which to impose punishment.
For the reasons previously articulated, Defendant’s sentence makes no meaningful contribution to acceptable penal goals and is, therefore, constitutionally excessive in this case.
For the foregoing reasons, I respectfully dissent.

click here to download seventeen page .pdf [1.31 mb]according to today's gannett/the alexandria daily town talk, in about two months, work on the $2,500,000.00, streetscape project on bolton avenue will begin.
while bolton avenue could definitely benefit from some sprucing up, one of our objections to the mayor's sparc wealth transfer/social engineering scam, is that a portion of the bond money that is financing it all is guaranteed by an unconstitutional and immoral "in perpetuity" sales tax that stupid, pathetic alexandrians voted on themselves which was bad enough and what's worse is that their children not even born yet are bound and liable to have to pay and collect this tax and never have a say on it.
new york banksters and bond holders love "in perpetuity" taxes and so do local "elites" who now have a guaranteed revenue stream to steal from and dole out to their cronies ... forever.
anyway, below is a video clip we shot back on 24 august 2011 of a portion of bolton avenue to jackson street out to the extension (jackson street extension).
h. brenner sadler and the provosty, sadler, delaunay, fiorenza & sobel law firm recently answered chrystal landry thompsons' malpractice and fraud lawsuit according to image documents recently posted to the rapides parish clerk of court website.
in our opinion, after a very cursory reading of the answer, it looks pretty much like a standard denial as compared to other pleadings from different cases that we've read.
one interesting strategy that mr. sadler and the provosty firm are attempting to deploy is the invoking of estoppel.
it seems that mr. sadler and the provosty firm are saying that any harm that ms. thompson received is her own fault for not tending to or looking out for her own business in spite of the fact that she must have thought that she was hiring mr. sadler and his firm to do just that for her.
now mr. sadler alleges that it wasnt his job.
will the court or perhaps more importantly a jury buy that defense? do you? time will tell ... stay tuned ...
click here to download answer fifteen pages [343 kb]the alexandria, la. mayor and city council, who settled their fraud suit against cleco and especially the alexandria, ratepayers probably dont want to read this.This case involves the consolidation of four writs into a single writ opinion.
Two of the writs, numbers 11-348 and 11-349, were filed by Cleco Corporation and Cleco Power, LLC (“Cleco”).
The other two writs, numbers 11-391 and 11-392, were filed by the Louisiana Public Service Commissioner (“the LPSC”), as intervenor in two separate class action suits which have been filed against Cleco by a putative class of utility ratepayers (“Ratepayers”) in the City of Opelousas.
Ratepayers seek reimbursement for alleged overcharges for electricity for a period of nearly twenty years.
In response to both lawsuits, Cleco filed exceptions of lack of subject matter jurisdiction, prematurity, and improper venue.
Following a hearing, the trial court denied Cleco’s exceptions.
We find no error by the trial court and, thus, deny these writs.

I sincerely appreciate and am profoundly humbled by the outpouring of public support Slabbed New Media has received over the last 24 hours in response to the takedown of Slabbed.Org by two libel tourists connected to former Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard.EXTERNAL LINK
I am committed to continue covering the unfolding corruption scandal in Jefferson Parish via Slabbed.org.
Along those lines we are actively working to bring the investigative blog back online, fully shielded from that specious Canadian defamation judgment pending resolution of Slabbed New Media’s Declaratory Action against Trout Point Lodge, Limited, Charles Leary and Vaughn Perret in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi under the SPEECH Act of 2010.
Please bear with us while we execute our plan and I look forward to seeing everyone back home on Slabbed.Org very soon.

wow. how do the japanese do it? after all, japan is not a "diverse" country. everyone pretty much looks the same. plus they have no corps of engineers or fema to blame everything on.
there is the matter of all that radioactive pollution, this article doesnt address that.

kudos to the hammond, louisiana, city council, the two fourth grade classes at north live oak elementary school in watson and their teachers, the louisiana state bee inspector and local beekeepers and all other proponents for working together to rescind this beekeeping ban.
the times-picayune reports that the ban has been in place for more than fifty years and that it is "unclear why beekeeping had been banned in hammond."
we call on all other city councils, police jury's, governing authorities and especially that collection of freaks, perverts, criminals and lunatics who comprise the organized crime gang which calls itself the loony looziana legislature to follow hammond's lead and rescind all the other unnecessary, inexplicable, freedom killing laws, rules and regulations throughout louisiana wherever they exist.
This suit involves the design and construction of the Coughlin Saunders Performing Arts Center (hereafter the Center) located in Alexandria, Louisiana, which opened in August of 2004.
On June 29, 2009, the City of Alexandria filed suit against Ratcliffe Construction Company, LLC, who built the Center.
Also named as defendants were the architects of the Center, Ashe Broussard Weinzettle Architects, LLP and Witsell Evans & Rasco, PA (hereafter the Architects).
The City alleged that subsequent to the Center‟s completion, it “sustained rainwater intrusion in several locations, through its masonry wall systems.”
The City contended the rainwater intrusion and corresponding damage was the direct result of the defective workmanship of Ratcliffe Construction and the negligent design of the Architects.
[...]
The City failed to show cause by failing to meet its burden of establishing it could satisfy its evidentiary burden at trial.
Thus, the trial court's grant of summary judgment was not premature.
DECREE
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the trial court granting the Architects‟ Motion for Summary Judgment is affirmed.
Costs of this appeal are assessed to appellant, the City of Alexandria.
AFFIRMED.
it really is this simple ...
