At least so says Brian Hare, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke and author of Puppy Kindergarten.

How the Sewerage & Water Board has worked to reduce boil water advisories

Dec 9, 2024 | audacy.com | Tommy Tucker

Nobody likes getting that text, "NOLAReady: Precautionary boil water advisory..."However, while you may get a text about a boil advisory for a specific neighborhood, for the most part, city-wide boil advisories are no longer a reality. This prompts the question: Why? What changed? I interviewed Executive Director of the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board Ghassan Korban to explain some of the updates to the city's infrastructure responsible for eradicating the widescale boil advisories.
Americans are drowning in student loan debt, but you don't have to

Dec 2, 2024 | audacy.com | Tommy Tucker

Student loan debt is an enormous concern in this country. In total, American student loan debt, public and private, stands at $1.7 trillion. Just thinking about student loans forces me into a cold sweat because I remember the process I went through with my high school senior. I and a handful of other parents sat with glazed-over eyes listening to a guidance counselor go over our "options." None of us knew what was going on.
Weight loss drugs changed my life, Dr. Scott explains why

Nov 26, 2024 | audacy.com | Tommy Tucker

Weight loss drugs are a hot topic these days. And personally, I'm a big proponent of weight loss drugs given I've lost about 100 pounds by using Tirzepatide. They've completely changed the way I eat and my motivation to exercise. I was at the store yesterday, and a guy approached me and said, "You're pretty ripped for an old dude."I wasn't quite sure if I should take it as a compliment or not. But that's just from my own anecdotal experience.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara has listed his house for sale. No, it's not about his contract.

Sep 2, 2024 | audacy.com | Jeff Nowak |Dave Cohen |Newell Normand |Tommy Tucker

Eagle-eyed Zillow watchers noted something interesting over the weekend: A $2.75 million Belle Chasse home was listed for sale. The name under the listing: Allen Kamara. It's not a typo. That's Saints running back Alvin Kamara's home, listed for sale by his brother, Allen, a realtor who operates out of Atlanta. With contract questions still looming, the question was fair. Alvin shot it down quickly. “It’s too late for contract talk," Kamara said. "I’m kind of ...
Flag football a high school sport? It could happen

Aug 23, 2024 | audacy.com | Ian Auzenne |Dave Cohen |Newell Normand |Tommy Tucker

Could flag football become the next sanctioned high school sport in Louisiana? If the sport's growing popularity is any indication, it likely will be. "They're writing rules for flag football," Louisiana High School Athletic Association executive director Eddie Bonine said. According to Bonine, once the National Federation of High School Associations drafts those rules, it will be up to the LHSAA's member principals to decide whether the organization will sanction the sport.

Aug 20, 2024 | chestnuthilllocal.staging.communityq.com | Tommy Tucker

A group of Chestnut Hill residents has formed a new Registered Community Organization (RCO) covering all of Chestnut Hill, which they say will focus mostly on pedestrian safety and housing accessibility.
