The field of candidates for governor is huge – 12 people with very different political and ideological mind sets are currently in the race. In order to help readers of the TriAngle and other people with disabilities navigate through their choices, the TriAngle Editorial Board distributed a questionnaire regarding various issues affecting people with disabilities and seniors to each candidate. Seven candidates, Belinda Alexandrenko, Walter Boasso, Sheldon Forrest, Anthony Gentile, John Georges, Hardy Parkerson and Vinny Mendoza answered the call with information regarding their plans for many offices and programs affecting people with disabilities and seniors. Five other candidates, Foster Camp- bell, T. Lee Horne, Bobby Jindal, Arthur D. “Jim” Nichols, and Mary Volentine Smith did not. The governor is the highest elected official in Louisiana. He or she is involved in all major decisions in the state. He or she also chooses a staff to run various offices and departments, including the Department of Health and Hospitals, Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities, the Office of Aging and Adult Ser- vices, the Office of Mental Health and the Governor’s Office of Elderly Affairs.

  • 2008 Survey of the Performance of American Elections November
    2008 Survey of the Performance of American Elections November 2007 Final Report 1. Introduction and background This report describes the results of a November 2007 study that is the first major step leading to a nationwide survey in November 2008 to examine the experience of voters with the performance of the U.S. electoral system.1 The present study surveyed 1,500 respondents in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi about their voting experiences in those states’ recent gubernatorial elections. The purpose was two-fold — first, to gain general experience with asking a battery of questions concerning the electoral system across a set of states and, second, to pre-test questions that will ultimately appear on the November 2008 nationwide survey. The main substantive results from the November 2007 study may be summarized as follows: 1. Voters overall were satisfied with all aspects of the voting experience. 2. While there were performance differences across the three states on some of the performance measures, they tended to be small. There was no systematic evidence that any one state’s elections were run substantially better than another’s. 3. Non-whites reported less satisfaction with their voting experience than whites on many performance measures — it was more difficult finding the polling place, there were more problems with voter registration, lines were longer, the polling place was run less well, and poll workers were less helpful. Non-whites received more help voting than whites. Non-whites were less confident their votes were counted as cast than were whites. Some of these racial differences were state-specific, while others were not.

As our industry forges ahead into areas with ever-increasing levels of difficulty and as the cost of deepwater projects continues to increase, industry leaders develop creative approaches to meet today’s technological and financial hurdles. As the industry moves farther off the Outer Continental Shelf, the harsh geologic environments, deep wells, ultra-deep water, loop current, and tropical storms combine to provide some of the most demanding conditions faced anywhere in the world. Presentations in this session illustrate three new solutions developed to meet these challenging conditions, and the fourth provides the regulatory perspective on the use of polyester mooring systems for deepwater facilities. • Perdido Development - Integration of Wet Tree DVA and Subsea Artificial Lift Technologies • Regulatory Perspective on Polyester Mooring Systems in the Deepwater GOM • Assessment of Subsea Pumping for a Deepwater GOM Development • Deep Water Flexible Pipe Technology GEOSCIENCE – Lead Chair: Bob Meltz; Co-Chair: Richard Mongan The geosciences continue to play a critical role in the expansion of deepwater activity, whether it is the exploitation of mature assets in amplitude-associated minibasin fields, or the recent successes in the Lower Tertiary and Miocene fold belt plays.

Edgar & Louise S. Monroe Library, Loyola University New Orleans Title WYES Informed Sources Archive Date 1984 - Present Extent 5 boxes Subject Headings WYES-TV (Television station : New Orleans, La.) Administrative/Biographical History In 1984, WYES, New Orleans' public television station, began broadcasting Informed Sources, a program devoted to in-depth discussion of the news by local journalists. During that first show, a panel of journalists speculated about the reasons for the financial dilemmas of the Louisiana World Exposition, locally known as the World's Fair. Now more than two decades later, every Friday night at 7:00 p.m., Louisiana's newsmen and women continue to speculate, discuss and examine the news of the week. The idea for Informed Sources originated in 1971 on WYES with City Desk, a news and talk show, which featured the staff of the New Orleans States-Item and ran for seven seasons. The station had been without a news program for several years when Marcia Kavanaugh Radlauer, an experienced television reporter and independent producer, was asked to create a new show. Like City Desk, the format was a panel discussion of current news, but instead of featuring journalists from only one source, a variety of participants from television, radio, newspapers and eventually, online newsletters contributed their talents and expertise. Informed Sources originally included a "Newsmakers" interview to help fill the half-hour, but before long that segment was omitted.
