Three-month-old baby Wilder was found by his mother, lifeless, on February 26. Following the tragedy, two days later, Kahnawa’kehró:non Brittany Lahache launched an Auction for Baby Wilder, to help out with the funeral and other expenses related to the shocking death. Lahache has been close with the family for years and didn’t want Wilder’s mother Lianne to worry about a thing. “After I got the phone call about what happened, I went to my son and just held him and cried,” said Lahache, who has a young son. “I wanted to do something that would help take any extra stress off.” The Facebook page collected donations for items to be auctioned from Friday, March 5 (today) to Saturday, March 6.

Under proposed air permit, upgraded Noranda alumina plant near Gramercy would get nod to release mercury into air
GRAMERCY — More than six months after the old Noranda Alumina plant emerged from federal bankruptcy reorganization, the plant's new owners are seeking state authority to become the largest emitter of mercury into Louisiana's skies, according to federal air pollution data. The new owners, Noranda Bauxite and Alumina, want permission under a proposed air permit revision to emit up to 1,500 pounds of mercury into the air per year, up to six times more than the second-largest mercury air emitter in Louisiana between 2012 and 2015, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory. The proposed permit, which the public will get to learn about at a state DEQ hearing at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Lutcher, would resolve a long-standing problem at the Noranda plant by formally permitting previously unknown mercury air releases, as the new owners plan to invest $35 million to upgrade and expand capacity at the Mississippi River facility straddling the St. James and St. … [Read more...] about Under proposed air permit, upgraded Noranda alumina plant near Gramercy would get nod to release mercury into air

Employee engagement remains scandalously low, and companies are having a hard time changing (that is, staying relevant) and innovating. Many, in fact, are struggling to even imagine their own future. New technology and processes can fix a few things, but at the heart of the malaise is something else: business thinking . Clearly, business is too important to be left to business people. So what if instead of narrowing options, codifying behavior, and mitigating risk, business leaders thought and acted more like artists? This is not a new idea: Andy Warhol famously claimed that “being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art,” David Whyte brought poetry to organizations, Alan Moore has written about beauty and doing business in a non-linear world, and Age of Artists has accumulated an impressive pool of case studies … [Read more...] about Art Thinking or The Importance of Inventing Point B
