Beware the "Wrath of Khan"
Tulane's endowment looses 24% of its value. From over 1 billion dollars to $789 million. Scott Cowen running Tulane like a business (A.I.G.).
How's this for a local crime: Thibidoux woman fakes carjacking report to get boyfriend to give up offshore job. I guess she missed him too much.
Times-Pic calls Jefferson an "ineffective embarrasment." Hmmm. Will that standard still apply in 2 years with disgraced and ineffective Vitter? Speaking of the devil, Vitter thinks Cao will clean up Louisiana's image of a bunch of crooked, hooker-fucking politicians (like him).
H.M., famed psychology case, passes away. It's revealed he's a local Cajun boy.
My alma-mater, Ben Franklin High School, made the grade as one of the top high schools in the country. Go Falcons!
In Illinois, they're throwing fits over a $6 million tutoring center for jocks only. Scholarship students, work study students, etc. need not enter. Why do I bring this up? LSU's is $15 million. Speaking of Illinois, Is Chicago now officially more corrupt than New Orleans? (H/T Adam). UPDATE- It's official! We're now in a contest! Come on Nagin, get caught in bed with Veronica White and Vitty-Cent while texting Trashanova to get more blow from Bernardo! We know you can do it!
Keep this in mind as the City Council deliberates over the budget (especially if Nagin vetoes the budget): a list of political donations by the 3 sanitation firms.
UPDATE 2- I like Nate Silver's post about who Blogo tried to blackmail/extort/etc. What, no Oprah?

Ben Franklin News
You might have seen this headline on Nola.com and wondered what was up. Here's what I've been told:
I don't know how many of you know about the situation that happened with Jodee and her volleyball team this past season. Basically, Jodee and the team have kind of been butting heads all year, and after Franklin lost in the semis, Jodee got told off by some of the players. The The team basically bashed Jodee for an hour telling the interim principal that Jodee is a horrible coach and treated them like shit and the only reason they got anywhere was because they played for each other...yada yada yada.
A course of action has been in limbo for a number of months as Franklin had and interim and not an actual Principal. Now that the new Principal has been hired, a group of the parents from the team went and complained, and Jodee was told that her services were no longer needed.
I don't know if many of you know the history of Franklin Volleyball, but Jodee built that program starting with one ball and a piece of crap net in to one of state championship caliber. While you may not have played on one of her teams, if she has positively impacted your life in any way; I am asking that you email a letter saying so to the new Principal and the Head of the Charter Schools in New Orleans.
The New Principal is Timothy Rusnak: timothy_rusnak@benfranklinhs.org
Duris Holmes is the head of AAEE: dholmes@dkslaw.com
Thanks,

There is also a petition out there.
I didn't know her too well, but I know plenty of people who think the world of her (at least once they were alumni).
Sounds like another way the charter system can be abused (overprotective parents conspire to get a good, but tough teacher fired). Hope that isn't the case.
