BIO’s 10th Annual World Congress on Industrial Biotech kicked off its first full day of programming Monday and the halls were abuzz with good news. Attendees packed the exhibit hall, breakout rooms, plenary hall and investor sessions at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
During a morning breakout program Myriant Corporation, a global renewable chemicals company, announced the successful start-up at its flagship bio-succinic acid plant located in Lake Providence, Louisiana.
The big waves are back at Buccaneer State Park, the popular, 400-acre green spot that borders the Gulf in Waveland, Miss. We mean the rolling surf and happy tsunamis that visitors find in the park’s half-million gallon wave pool -- not the kind that swept over the park, destroying this summer attraction when Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005.
On June 13, the pool reopened for the first time since the disaster.
Park director Stu Rayburn said the parking lot looked pretty much as he expected on opening day: half Louisiana plates and half from Mississippi.
WASHINGTON - Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, is offering his verdict on the immigration overhaul legislation now before the Senate. He's against it, at least as currently written.
"There must be a solution to illegal immigration," Cassidy, a 2014 Senate candidate said Monday in a statement. "The solution must begin with securing borders. As now written, the Senate bill does not secure the border and effectively creates a pathway to amnesty. With this in mind, I cannot support the Senate bill in its current form.

The taxpayers of Louisiana are constantly paying for new state buildings because maintenance of existing buildings is not a priority. Eventually, the buildings become uninhabitable and must be torn-down or merely abandoned. This is nothing new. It’s been going on since John McKeithen was the governor in the 1960s.
With an eye for the future and a genuine concern to protect money earmarked for the Rigs-to-Reef program in Louisiana, state Sen. Bret Allain made sure the state’s residents have a say in the matter.
Allain, R-Franklin, a lifelong outdoorsman who loves to hunt ducks and deer but whose main passion has been fishing for red snapper and other reef fish, successfully guided Senate Bill 128 through the 2013 Louisiana Legislature to amend the Louisiana Constitution to include the Artificial Reef Development Fund.
