And what about laws? It does not seem to matter that any of this might be considered illegal. Guarantee Services Team of Professionals does an extremely large amount of service calls to Jefferson Lakes Apartments to vacuum out air ducts and dryer vents.  An employee from this company came to our apartment along with the head of maintenance (this is documented in the depositions). This was after we were told they were coming to test (for the presence of mold) and then clean. By then we knew that could not possibly be done in one afternoon and told them we would rather wait until we could be away from the apartment. They came over to look anyway. The Guarantee Services employee was able to determine by simply looking at our mold covered air vents that the black growth was &quot;dust&quot;. &quot;Dust&quot; is the word management uses when people complain about this black stuff (mold growth) on their vents and then would have them vacuumed out.  The plaintiff's(me) attorney subpoenaed records from this company because they would show if air duct cleaning had been done in our apartment in the past and how many times. Since the perfectly clean and freshly painted over air vents were totally covered in black thick mold growth in just 3 months - it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out they would have obviously needed to be and were cleaned before. There is an Affidavit of Guarantee Service Team of Professionals, Inc. where secretary/treasurer Ellen Folks swears that the copies of records we were given are a true and accurate copy of their business records. There are many records showing service calls to the apartment complex but not the ones in the time frame asked for which is the whole point. This error was not corrected by the plaintiff's attorney.

Rooms in St. Francisville were completely booked as of yesterday morning, according to West Feliciana Parish Tourist Commission's Executive Director, Kitty Martin. If Gustave continues to threaten the New Orleans area, Louisiana's Contraflow will be enacted 30 hours before tropical force winds hit the coast, said Brendon Rush, a spokesman for state Department of Transportation and Development.  Contraflow directs traffic in southeast Louisiana to the north and west and makes certain parts of the highway system available only for one-way travel to help get more people out of the urban areas in and around New Orleans. The contraflow system begins in New Orleans and ends to the north in locations in Mississippi or to the west at Sorrento, a community in Ascension Parish.  Rush cautioned that people should choose their routes carefully based on where they want to end up because once a route is chosen, drivers are locked into that route. Contraflow maps are available online at http://www.dotd.state.la.us/maps/HurricaneGuideSE.pdf. ");

Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency Wednesday in anticipation that Gustav, now a tropical storm, might slam into the Louisiana coast as a Category 2 hurricane.  More than three days out, it's difficult to forecast where the system may go, according to a forecast released by the National Hurricane Center; however, preliminary tracks for the storm show it has the potential to impact Louisiana sometime Monday evening. At 10 p.m. Wednesday, the hurricane center said Gustav was near 18.8 degrees North and 75.4 degrees West, moving west-southwest at 8 mph. Maximum sustained winds were at 45 mph. It's estimated that Gustav might strengthen to a Category 2 hurricane.  Jindal, at Wednesday's news conference, said 3,000 Louisiana National Guard members have been activated and will begin deployment today to help with various missions, including security at shelters across the state. In addition, the governor said, state contracts with bus providers have been activated for as many as 700 buses to evacuate 35,000 people, as have the contracts for railroad and airplane transportation, and contracts for trucks to transport pets.  The state has also asked the federal government to provide up to 300 ambulances in case patients need help evacuating to shelters, he said.  Jindal said there are 10,000 spaces in the state shelters for those with special needs, with a possibility of more spaces if needed. Those special-needs shelters have been ordered to start opening today.  If the storm continues on a path to Louisiana, general-population shelters in the state will likely open Friday followed by a possible contraflow order on Saturday.  By Labor Day, Gustav could make landfall anywhere from south Texas to the Florida panhandle, and hurricane experts said everyone in between should be concerned. New Orleans began planning a possible mandatory evacuation, hoping to prevent the chaos it saw after Hurricane Katrina struck three years ago Friday. Mayor Ray Nagin left the Democratic National Convention in Denver to help the city prepare. Gustav is particularly worrisome because there are few surrounding wind currents capable of shearing off the top of the storm and diminishing its power, the hurricane center said. &quot;Combined with the deep warm waters, rapid intensification could occur in a couple of days.&quot;");
