WWL- World Wide Loyola


Prior to WWI the physics department at Loyola had a class on the new experimental wireless communication. They created an experimental radio station. This station evolved into WWL and was the first radio station in the area. The first broadcast were all done from a physics lab in the early 1920s.

In the summer of 1978 I got a job at WWL. I spent the entire summer scraping paint, chalking and painting the exterior of those old buildings. We got shutdown a few times because the paint color wasn’t approved by the French Quarter Commission

Also, I remember this was when Jim Henderson was first hired. I got pulled off the crew one day to go help the news team. We went to the City Park golf course and I had to carry around his golf bag while they filmed promos for Jim.

Hand them a menu and take their order. It’s not that hard.
I’d love to see the look when they open the ColoGuard samples.

re: Shoulder Question…

Timely subject as I’m on day 8 post-op from a supraspinadus repair and bicep tendonesis. Someone forwarded me a WWL news clip about a Mackie Shilstone/Tulane supplement plan that shows to help shoulder recovery.


The source article Perioperative nutrition supplementation boosts recovery

A local state court at that


What happens if a state court in a different state rules he can’t play? For example, maybe the state court in Florida sides with the NCAA? Can he play in the road game in Florida?

The university has a huge endowment for its size. It once owned WWL and the LSU Dental School and sold them for a nice profit.


There’s a reason there’s a Loyola Drive in Kenner. A one time all that property along there from University City to the lake was owned by the university too.

Graduated in 1980s with a degree in physics so my information is mostly obsolete. The student population then had a large contingent from Miami, Puerto Rico and St Louis in addition to locals.

Does he plan on joining the Turning Point USA chapter?

In the 80s they threw doubloons that could be redeemed for a 2 piece dinner. I seem to recall Al and family would ride on one of his boats in the Metairie parades.

The article is pushing fear.


It’s propaganda. The source article compares defined benefits (pensions) to defined contributions (401k,etc). You know what’s not included? IRAs

re: Pottery found in creek

Posted by hob on 1/31/26 at 12:14 pm to
I gave ChatGPT the picture and said that it was found in Prairieville

————-
Prairieville, Louisiana puts this squarely in a very well-documented Native pottery region.

Based on your photo and that location, this is most likely a prehistoric Native American cord-marked pottery sherd from the Lower Mississippi Valley tradition.

?

Most Likely Cultural Origin

Coles Creek / Plaquemine Tradition

Approx. 700–1600 AD

This area was occupied by:
   •   Coles Creek culture (700–1200 AD)
   •   Later Plaquemine culture (1200–1600 AD)
These are ancestral to historic Natchez-area groups and produced large amounts of cord-marked utility pottery just like this.

?

Why This Fits Your Piece

Features That Match
   •   Diagonal cord impressions
Made by paddling wet clay with a cord-wrapped wooden tool — very common in Louisiana river cultures
   •   Thick wall section
Suggests a cooking or storage jar, not fine tableware
   •   Grit temper visible
Crushed sand or shell added to strengthen clay
   •   Eroded surface
Typical of creek or drainage finds

?

What Part of the Pot This Is

This looks like a body sherd (side wall), not rim or base.
It likely came from a:
   •   Large cooking jar
   •   Water or grain storage vessel

?

Age Estimate

Very likely:

800 to 1,400 years old

That’s common for creek finds in Ascension Parish due to erosion of buried village sites along old bayous and terraces.

Anybody know why he didn't just threaten to tase the driver rather than wrestling with her?


Tasing at close range isn’t ideal. If you tase at close range there’s not a lot of spread on the probes so the impact is localized.

There’s supposed to be a concall between NCAA, the judge and Aguilar attorneys today
Something's fricky. There's supposed to be a hearing today about the future of Joey Aguilar. His case is almost identical to Pavia. If he gets the wavier Vols don't need another QB.

Yesterday Zenitz publishes an article using anonymous sources saying that Aguilar request will be denied.

Is Zenitz shilling for Team Leavitt?

I hope it is that Leavitt signed with Tennessee


The rumor up here is TN offered Leavitt $3.5M. TN found out that Aguilar will have his hearing on Monday and feel confident he will get another year so don’t feel the need to spend all that $$

It's really remarkable what can be done. Tasks I used to hand off to entry/junior level coworkers I now just ask AI to write. I get results almost instantly and it will ask if I want additional features I hadn't thought about.

It's really remarkable that you can point AI at a swagger document and ask it to write a python script to complete a task based on that document.
