My family background is based in New Orleans and I feel like I'm coming home to visit. I heard this name once and I'm interested in knowing if she was actually real or a figment of the imagination.

Many people in my family & my friend's family used to be SO unfortunate & poor before the storm. Now after the storm, they've become fortunate enough to own cars & computers, get breast implants, & just straight BALLIN'! I know they misused FEMA's money. But my friend got chewed out by FEMA for buying a bed to sleep in with her FEMA money. Like WTF?! Where else was she supposed to sleep after losing her home in a disaster...on the floor?

My Sim City model of New Orleans is out of control. There's been 112 murders as of July 1st. God knows how many since then. I dont know if I should fix the stats and not count some murders or just look forward to 2008. Because its a lost cause right now, the murder rate out of control and the place is slummed up cept for 5 or 6 neighorbhoods. Some blocks completely dont have **** on it, just vacant lots all down the street. 9th, 7th, and 5th Wards got it the worse since streets run through all the vacant lot areas so everybody sees them. I fu-ked up when I made the city and now its an outta control h-ell. So for people in the real New Orleans, what does yall law enforcement do when things get hectic so I can mirror it? Mo' cops? Curfew? I have troops there already on the outskirts of town.

My husband just got a job working right outside New Orleans, but I really don't want to live that close to the area. Anybody have any good locations that would be drivable for him, but still far enough away from the actual city? We were looking at Gonzales but I haven't really heard any great things about that area. Any help is definitely appreciated.

1. New reggae/dancehall artist Collie Buddz was actually born in New Orleans.
2. DJ Khaled is actually from New Orleans.
3. 17th Ward native Lil' Wayne and 3rd Ward native Birdman MIGHT be bisexuals. (I say this because they have kissed each other on the lips on a few occasions, REGARDLESS of whether they love each other like father-and-son or not. I PERSONALLY think that that sh1t is gay!)
4. My sister in law is NOT from New Orleans.
5. The late Stanley "Tookie" Williams, the cofounder of the Westside Crips in South Los Angeles, was born in Los Angeles.
6. Master P has fallen off as far as rap is concerned. (I have said THIS because I have NOT seen him come out with anything in a long while except for that movie he did with the Nigerian dude Michael Blackson last year. I liked that movie, though!)
7. I've eaten crawfish before.
8. The original NBA Jazz team was ORIGINALLY in New Orleans before they went to that polygamous State of Utah.
9. Manny Fresh was raised on bread

Serious answers only. To all those who live there, have lived there, visited there or plan to visit, why do you think New Orleans matters?

I'm going to Mardi Gras 08 for my 25th birthday. It's my 2nd time to NOLA for Mardi Gras (last time was 2004) and I was wondering what kind of stuff I can do in the area besides the usual French Quarter, Uptown, Garden District, ect.. type sightseeing. Is it worth it that time of year to go on a tour of the Bayou? Just wondering what are some cool things I can do besides all the parades, drinking, eating, ect.. What other cool or lesser known attractions do you enjoy there? I'm just hoping to do more on this trip and to actually remember more of it too.

Louisiana wants thousands of state and local government workers to send back $10 million in unemployment pay they received while still collecting regular pay after Hurricane Katrina.

A state audit found lax control by the state Department of Labor was the main reason the 5,439 ineligible workers were able to collect up to $258 a week, Legislative Auditor Steve Theriot said.

Administrative workers with the City of New Orleans received the most money with 2,233 wrongfully collecting $4.3 million. There were 1,638 state workers, many with the state Department of Health and Hospitals, who got $2.7 million.

The money was a small portion of the overall $560 million the department pay out in unemployment benefits to public and private workers in the four months after Katrina.

With residents spread nationwide and difficult to contact, state labor officials suspended the requirement for unemployment applicants to contact the department weekly to verify they are looking for jobs and to report any earnings, said assistant Labor Secretary Marianne Sullivan.

She said the agency suspended the call-in rule for 12 weeks based on meetings with officials from the governor's office, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, the state AFL-CIO and the Council for a Better Louisiana.

The department has gotten back $3.3 million of improper payments so far, mostly from unused benefit debit cards. It seems unlikely the state will get all the money.

Some recipients interviewed by Theriot's office said they had notified the Labor Department they were working. Others said they were entitled to the money as disaster relief. One said he couldn't recall applying for the benefits and spent the unemployment aid without realizing from where it came.

State labor officials will not pursue fraud charges against those who got the extra unemployment money unless there is strong evidence that applicants tried to defraud the state.
