NoDef Numbers, May 23-30


This week, a City Hall contractor was actually convicted of a crime, a Colombian lost in Jean Lafitte National Park sparked a huge search effort, and, as ever, a dignitary showed off some bling. Local news items were thrown at us with incredible pace last week. Raise your retention rate with a look at the numbers that informed the developments: 


NoDef Numbers, May 17-23


This week, Bounce took one giant leap toward its national breakthrough as we learned what it takes to get a woman's number at Wal-Mart, the Corps of Engineers raced to finish a flood protection system before hurricane season and, as ever, some kids took a senior prank a bit too far.

NoDef Numbers, April 19-25


This week, the first anniversary of the Big Oozy was marked with a hoax, lawsuits and payouts, ground was broken for a giant state hospital that a group of consultants said was too giant and, as ever, Bill Murray was kind of an asshole - but a funny one!
