...reviewing Louisiana’s fiscal mess, discussing the 900 million dollars’ worth of revenue needed by July 1st, and how this effects the state and higher education. He mentioned that some of the problems were the centralized version of government and archaic tax structure, but that the most detrimental problem was the lack of leadership and ethics in our state. During his career in the 80’s and 90’s, Mr. Griffin, along with a diverse group of other people, led Louisiana into initiatives that saved the state 2.1 billion dollars. Many of these initiatives were torn down by Jindal, leading us to the state of destruction we are currently in, as one of the worst states in the union and facing a huge budget and higher education crisis. However, he pointed out that it was also the people’s fault, as we haven’t rallied, petitioned, and “gotten angry” like we should. He strongly encouraged all of us young people to be involved in politics and know what is going on in our state. After discussing the current issues in the state of Louisiana, Mr. Griffin moved onto recounting much about his life and what got him where he was today. He stressed the importance of always seeking the open door and never giving up when one door slams in your face. Suffering from...

...them of many opportunities, along with financial assistance, to assist in pursuing an education beyond high school. After graduating from high school, I became pregnant. I was considered a statistic to some, but to me, and my support system (my family), it only meant that I would have to work just a little harder than the others who were not carrying the load of a child. I applied, was accepted to, and attended Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana pursuing a B. S. degree in Accounting. Although times were hard for me, I managed to graduate with the degree of my desire (B.S. in Accounting), in December of 1994. Not only did I graduate, but I was immediately employed at the University in the Comptroller’s Office as an Accounts Payable Specialist. I remained employed in the Comptroller’s Office until I was later hired in the LS-LAMP Office on the same campus. For a total of 5 (five) years, I worked in my field at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Due to circumstances with my second child, I had to relocate and later became employed outside of my field. I haven’t worked directly in the Accounting field since. However, I have begun to launch my own Small Business. I chose to come back to Southern University, because this is the school that I am familiar with and loved the entire time I was there. I always had plans to come back, but was always tied down with my children. Now that my daughter is older...

...Christine Crocker GS1140 Problem Solving Theory Dr. Tiera Coston 4/7/2012 In the greater Baton Rouge area, there are 270 automotive and collision repair businesses. Within three miles from Fisher’s Automotive, where my husband Paul works, there are 40 shops that are providing some of the same services as Fisher’s. Of those 40, 26 perform collision repair. Before I started school, I worked at Fisher’s with Paul. I was a body technician and helped with some of the office duties. Paul is still currently the head painter. The owner, Vic Fisher, has recently seen a decline in business on the collision side. If the business is to remain open, which will allow Paul to keep his job and provide for his family, the staff at Fishers needs to figure out what they can do to bring in more business. The questions that need to be answered are: How is Fisher’s Automotive going to get a competitive edge on its competition in the greater Baton Rouge area? Is there an untapped source of revenue that can single it out from the other shops? Is there a service currently not being provided in Baton Rouge? Answering these questions may very well be the solution that they are looking for. The building that Fisher’s Automotive is in was designed to be a warehouse and is not suitable for what they are using it for. It is really run down, old looking, and in need of remodeling. One of the first places that they need to remodel is the office area. By doing that, Fisher’s will be able to showcase...

...Human Service Agency Interview | The Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center | | Michael L. Brown | Axia College | Upon securing contact over the phone, Ms. LaTonia Dunbar MSW, LSMW Family Advocate Clinician, granted permission for an interview regarding the services offered through the Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center. According to Ms. Dunbar (personal communication, May 9, 2012), This organization is a non for profit organization and has been successful in establishing social awareness and stability for children whom have been physically abused or sexually abused and are recovering mental and physical from their incident. The services provided are varied and can sometimes be spontaneous, and law enforcement has to interject to the needs of the individual. This would be not be my ideal field because its concentration is on children being abused and seems that it may be a little over whelming for me, and maybe even a bit depressing. | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Interview 1.

...An ecosystem is a community of plants, animals, and smaller organisms that live, feed, reproduce, and interact in the same area or environment. Some ecosystems are very large in size, and some are physically small, such as a meadow at the edge of a forest or a coral reef in the ocean. I have decided to write about the Baton Rouge Zoo as the natural ecosystem in my area. The Baton Rouge Zoo was a dream of the recreation and parks commission in the early 1960’s. In 1965 taxpayers passed a millage election that provided over three-quarters of a million dollars with which was to assist in building the facility, the rest of the funds for building came from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreations. Construction began in the mid sixties, and the Zoo opened to the public on Easter Sunday of 1970. Today BR Zoo is home to animals from around the world including tigers, elephants, flamingos, alligators, and the first black rhino to be born in Louisiana. The Baton Rouge Zoo is active in conservation programs and also participates with other Zoos around the world in thirty international species survival plans for critically endangered species. There has been three endangered animals; the Guam Rail which is a flightless bird, Arabian Oryx which is a medium sized antelope with a distinctive shoulder hump, long straight horns, and a tufted tail, and a Golden Lion Tamarin which is a small new world monkey that is related to the Callitrichidae family, all which are endangered species, have been successfully...

...specific world event, Hurricane Katrina, caused home prices in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to fluctuate between two equilibrium states. Also to be covered is how the process of said movement occurred using the behaviors of both supply firms and consumers. In the late summer of 2005, Hurricane Katrina bared down on the City of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. This storm caused a surge that caused the storm levees to break that in turn, flooded the City of New Orleans and took most of the city’s housing with it. Because of the destruction, about two hundred and fifty thousand people were relocated to nearby Baton Rouge, making it the largest city in Louisiana. Let us start the discussion by stating that the average price of a single-family home in Baton Rouge before Katrina was one hundred thirty thousand dollars, shown by point A on the graph (O'Sullivan & Sheffrin, 2002). With the explosion of the population, the average price jumped to one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars within six months, point B, and the market shrunk from three thousand six hundred homes on the market to only five hundred homes on the market (O'Sullivan & Sheffrin, 2002). Essentially, the increase in population caused the demand curve to move to the right, which caused an excess demand for housing at the original average price. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for the supply firms that ran the real estate markets in Baton Rouge. Prices went up, and in...

The shooter, Gavin Long, an African-American who had served for a long time in the Marines, was additionally killed. He had posted recordings on the web grumbling about police treatment of African-Americans. Pressures in Baton Rouge have been high since a dark man Alton Sterling was shot dead by police two weeks back. That demise - and a second police shooting in Minnesota - started challenges over the United States and set off a requital assault by a dark armed force veteran who shot dead five officers in the city of Dallas. In one video, posted on YouTube, Long said that ought to "anything happen" to him, he was "not...

...Traffic Problems in Baton Rouge 5:30 traffic in Baton Rouge could easily be defined as the time in which no one wants to get in their car and go anywhere regardless of urgency. Baton Rouge, Louisiana is notoriously known for their inefficient traffic systems. Why is that? With a population rank of 67th in the United States, Baton Rouge’s ranking of 33rd in the nation for worst traffic congestion has definitely impacted the community’s identity (Meaux, Reveille). Money, or lack thereof, plays a huge role in what could be called Baton Rouge’s traffic crisis. "Unless you have the funds to update your infrastructure, people are going to be stuck in traffic," said Mark Lambert, communications director with Louisiana's Department of Transportation and Development. "Our infrastructure is terribly behind the needs in Louisiana ... All of it comes down to a matter of money (Meaux, Reveille).” The government’s perspective on the matter of money is that they simply aren’t being allotted enough towards specifically solving the congestion problems of Baton Rouge. For every gallon of gasoline purchased, Louisiana gets $0.16 for infrastructure improvement (Meaux, Reveille). Money is definitely at the root of the problem, however there are many other contributing factors. Due to how far behind Baton Rouge is in congestions problems, society obviously believes that more money needs to be funneled in that direction. The society thinks that the Baton Rouge roads need to be revamped. Shouldn’t...

...army on earth, making them vulnerable to defeat. When he was appointed Governor of Louisiana he had already proved himself a strong leader and talented strategist. Through secret deals with the colonists Gálvez showed support of the Americans while officially remaining neutral. His actions ultimately benefitted the Americans but his motives were less than altruistic. Not only was Spain determined to prevent expansion of the British down the Mississippi, it also wanted West and East Florida. With Gálvez’ help the colonists might defeat Britain then Spain would easily defeat the Americans and regain its territories. In either case, he could at least prolong the war and thus weaken both entities. When it seemed the colonial strategies eyed Pensacola, Gálvez was determined to get there first. The Seven Years’ War resulted in a shift in the balance of power in America. France lost all its possessions. Great Britain now...

...affiliated with LOUISIANA WILDLIFE FEDERATION “. . . conserving our natural resources and your right to enjoy them.” 8 June 2010 Lorraine and Marie LeBlanc 7717 Hampson Street New Orleans, LA 70118 Dear Ms. Lorraine and Ms. Marie: Thank you for your contribution of $150 in support of the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. LWF is engaged with other organizations in responding to the onslaught of oil spreading throughout the Louisiana coast. In the near term options are limited and only partially effective for keeping the oil away from sensitive wetlands and the wildlife that inhabits the coastal barriers and marshes, and for saving animals that become oiled. Once the oil from the well blowout is stopped, restoration and recovery can begin with greater expectation of success. It will be a long process. Your contribution will support LWF’s efforts toward response, restoration and recovery. The Louisiana Wildlife Federation is a tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore any contributions received are deductible from income for tax purposes as proscribed by law. LWF’s tax ID # is 72-0445638. You have received no products or services of monetary value in consideration of your contribution. You may wish to file this acknowledgement with your financial records. Please let me know if you have any questions that I may be able to address concerning LWF and this unprecedented disaster that is unfolding along our coast. Sincerely...
