LA Tech University students create prototype for U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command
SUMMARY: Louisiana Tech University engineering students collaborated with the United States Air Force Global Strike Command to develop a prototype aimed at enhancing B-52 Stratofortress towbar operations. As part of a significant senior-year project, the team created a lighter and easier-to-transport towbar, reducing its shipping footprint by three times while minimizing common breakage issues. Although the B-52 towbar project team has graduated, current students are engaged in five new projects for the Air Force, including redesigning ultralight wheel chocks for B-2 bombers, improving F-118 engine inspection tools, and repurposing B-1 bomber fuel tanks for storage.

SUMMARY: During a lighthearted conversation about food preferences, particularly regarding potato salad, the discussion shifts to the pleasant weather in southeastern Louisiana, which is ideal for outdoor activities. Meteorologist Derek Sibley shares a sunny forecast with temperatures in the low to mid-80s, clear skies, and light winds. A cold front will bring cooler temperatures next week, while the tropics are monitored for Tropical Storm Leslie, which poses no threat. Another low-pressure system off Africa has a 50% chance of tropical development, but also threatens no immediate danger. The overall weather pattern remains dry and sunny.

‘Medical funding companies’ inflating insurance payouts | Louisiana
SUMMARY: In a recent House Joint Insurance Committee hearing, attorney James Prather highlighted the issue of inflated insurance payout claims in Louisiana. During the “Operation Sideswipe” case, a third-party medical funding company billed defendants $720,000 despite actual costs being $240,000. Louisiana’s legal environment, influenced by the collateral source rule and the Civil Justice Reform Act of 2020, attracts such companies, driving up auto insurance premiums, which are the highest in the U.S. Tim Temple from the Louisiana Department of Insurance stated that inflated claims and a lack of competition among insurers exacerbate the problem. Reducing litigation and accidents is essential for lower rates.
