NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY
June 10 is National Iced Tea Day to celebrate one of summer's favorite refreshing drinks. Whether you prefer sweetened or unsweetened, with or without lemon, we invite you to pour yourself a glass as we relax and enjoy some random information about iced tea.
Iced tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, following water. The oldest tea remains date to around 453BC. Archeologists from Shandong University and the University of Science and Technology found 2,400 year old tea remains in a royal tomb in the Shandong province.
Recipes for iced tea have been found dating back to the 1870s. The Buckeye Cookbook (1876) and Housekeeping in Old Virginia (1877) both contain iced tea recipes. It is believed, however, that iced tea started to appear in the United States in the 1860s and became widespread in the 1870s. During that time, hotels and railroads offered iced tea on their beverage menus.
In 1904, the iced tea was introduced at the World's Fair in St. Louis by a tea merchant who planned to serve hot tea. However, a sudden heat wave prompted fair-goers to become uninterested in the beverage. To save his himself, the merchant decided to add ice to the already brewed tea. This led to a frenzy of people lining up to taste the wonderful new drink. Today, the U.S. consumed nearly 50 billion glasses of tea per year!
An alternative to carbonated soft drinks and quite popular in the United States, iced tea makes up about 85% of all tea consumed. Restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines, grocery stores and self-serve soda fountains make finding iced tea easy and convenient.

NATIONAL FROSTED COOKIE DAY
Today is June 10 on the National Day Calendar and we are throwing a sweet celebration for National Frosted Cookie Day. This nostalgic National Day celebrates the day by inspiring families everywhere to live life playfully, while enjoying the iconic frosted animal cookies by Mother's® Cookies!
Each year on June 10 we celebrate National Frosted Cookie Day and encourage everyone to enjoy the frosted animal cookies that spark the joy and creativity for families. No other cookie in the world sparks imagination like the frosted animal cookie. Whether putting on a circus show for friends, or taking a safari with family, the frosted animal cookie sparks joy and creativity for all. In fact, this iconic frosted animal cookie is enjoyed by playful, imaginative families all over the country.
Animal Cookies
Long ago in cookie-land, animals didn’t stray too far from the herd. Camels stuck with camels, lions with lions, and unicorns with unicorns. Day after day, they had the same routine. One morning a volcano erupted shooting sprinkles out into the sky and sending rivers of frosting flowing through the lands. By the next morning, every creature under the sun was full of polka-dots and bright. The animals thought, "well this is weird." But, it was also pretty sweet and delicious. The frosted animals became instant friends. From that day on, cookie-land became infinitely more fun. Since then, kids have been delighting in Mother’s Cookies ever since.
Today, there are two types of Mother’s Frosted Animal Cookies, each with unique shapes and personalities to create plenty of imagination in every bite.
- Original Circus Animal® Cookies are classic shortbread animal shaped cookies that are fully frosted in the iconic pink and white frosting, topped with rainbow sprinkles.
- Mythical Creature® Cookies are shortbread fairytale shaped cookies that are fully frosted in lavender and white frosting, topped with silver sprinkles.
The iconic shapes inspire the imagination and creativity to help turn snack time into a three-ring circus. Frosted Animal Circus Cookies
The Origin of Mother's® Cookies
It all started in 1914 at a newspaper stand in Oakland, California. Newspaper vendor N.M. Wheatley purchased the rights to some unusually delicious home-baked cookies from a customer. Interestingly, N.M. named the cookies Mother’s in honor of the brand-new holiday, Mother’s Day! The cookies soon they became a hit. Within a year, he sold the newspaper stand and began baking two thousand cookies a day in a small bakeshop. Of course, these are the iconic Circus Animal Cookies we know and love!

This week, top leadership from Louisiana, New Orleans, and the NFL formally announced a broad partnership dedicated to the success of Super Bowl LIX, in an effort that was quickly dubbed “The Summer of Super Bowl.”
Held at the historic Saenger Theater, remarks were given by Governor Jeff Landry, Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, Mayor LaToya Cantrell, Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation President and CEO Jay Cicero, NFL EVP Peter O’ Reilly, Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Susan Bourgeois, Department of Transportation Secretary Joe Donahue – and myself, in my new role as Governor Landry’s Coordinator for Super Bowl LIX.
These leaders were joined onstage by City of New Orleans Chief Administrative Officer Gilbert Montero, New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Mrs. Gayle Benson, Chair of the Super Bowl Host Committee Marcus Brown (Entergy), ASM CEO Doug Thornton, LSED Chair Robert Vosbein, and Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng. Overall, over 30 public agencies – and many other private sector partners – are part of the Summer of Super Bowl effort.
The event highlighted a range of projects including roads, lights, drainage, sidewalks, and beautification, all scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, in time for the big game, to be held on February 9, 2025. The Super Bowl is the most-viewed event in America, attracting hundreds of thousands to New Orleans, and up to 200 million viewers, worldwide.
Examples of projects for the Summer of Super Bowl include:
- Installation of new colored LED lights on the Crescent City Connection bridge
- Resurfacing of Poydras Street from Claiborne to the Mississippi River, and dozens of other roads
- Repair of streetlights along the Interstate 10 corridor, from the airport to downtown, as well as the French Quarter
- Widespread beautification through graffiti abatement, power-washing of public walls, and litter cleanup
- Individuals in encampments being rehoused; three major encampments have already been closed
- Murals by local artists in prominent spaces downtown, telling the rich story of New Orleans and Louisiana
- Cleaning of drainage canals and catch basins, along with repairs to pipes and drainage power
- Improvements to the area’s telecommunication system, including upgrades from 4G to 5G towers
GNO, Inc. will play a number of key roles in the Summer of Super Bowl:
- Michael Hecht as the Governor’s Coordinator, with the GNO, Inc. team in support
- Leading the Economic Development sub-committee for Super Bowl LIX
- As part of the PR Committee, developing key messages to highlight economic development strengths and resilience projects over the past two decades, to help pitch to over 6,000 members of the media who will be in New Orleans during the Super Bowl

New Louisiana law targets mislabeling at restaurants.
A "sold out" sign is displayed on a shrimping boat docked along Delcambre Canal Thursday, December 3, 2020, in Delcambre, La.
STAFF PHOTO BY LESLIE WESTBROOK
Senate Bill 166, now Act. No. 148, was signed into law by Gov. Jeff Landry.
Under the law, restaurants, seafood markets and grocers that sell cooked or prepared crawfish or shrimp from outside of the U.S. must display a disclaimer on their menu that reads, "Some items served at this establishment may contain imported seafood. Ask for more information."
If the establishment doesn't use menus, a sign with the disclaimer must be posted at the entrance of the business.
Restaurant or seafood market owners are also specifically prohibited from falsely claiming that crawfish or shrimp originated in the U.S. Any seafood that is sold unpackaged must clearly display item's the country of origin.
Enforcement of these rules will fall to the Louisiana Department of Health.
The new rules revamp similar requirements passed by Louisiana lawmakers in 2019 that required restaurants to include notice of whether their shrimp or crawfish are domestic or foreign and adds new penalties.
Food establishments found to be in violation of the rules will be fined from $200 to $500 for a first offense, $500 to $1000 for a second offense and $1000 to $2000 for third and subsequent offenses.
The new law also prohibits seafood products sold by wholesalers or retailers not made in the state from using Louisiana-related images, colors or phrasing on its packaging unless the name of the country where the seafood originates is displayed prominently on the front of the package.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, June 10
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

NATIONAL EGG ROLL DAY
Roll out the red carpet for National Egg Roll Day celebrations on June 10. This yummy food holiday delivers an American Dream story, plus satisfies a craving at the same time. You know you’re craving an egg roll now!
The egg roll began as a Chinese-American tradition that extended to Vietnamese immigrants reaching for the American Dream. These traditions grew from the unfailing dedication of families in chop suey palaces serving hungry workers. Restaurants across the country perfected their own versions of the egg roll with a variety of finely chopped ingredients--pork, shrimp, cabbage, onions, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and seasonings all rolled up in a thin pastry wrap and deep-fried.
The egg roll is a satisfying snack or an exciting part of a meal at home or away. But, it has also played an essential role in making dreams come true for several generations of immigrants in the United States. A dream that continues to on for many still today.
Our ability to celebrate the egg roll is as close as our freezer, telephone, restaurant, or even our own recipe. The egg roll is versatile food we can enjoy it as a snack or part of an entre. Our love of the egg roll evolves to meet strict diets, exotic flavors, and so much more! What more could we ask for a celebration?

NATIONAL BLACK COW DAY
National Black Cow Day on June 10 celebrates a delicious ice cream float beverage also known as a Root Beer Float. That's right, the beverage made with root beer and vanilla ice cream was also called a Black Cow.
The Black Cow is originally made with vanilla ice cream but sometimes it's made with chocolate ice cream or even plain cola flavor. Join us as we learn a brief history about the Black Cow and hopefully enjoy a Black Cow in the process!
Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, receives credit for inventing the Black Cow in August of 1893. Wisner was the Wisner, owner of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company and one night found himself staring out the window thinking about the line of soda waters that was producing for the citizens of Cripple Creek. An idea struck him. The full moon that night that was shining on the snow-capped Cow Mountain reminded him of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. He hurried back to his bar and added a spoonful of the creamy vanilla goodness to the children's favorite flavor of soda, Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. When he tasted it, he knew he had a hit. Wisner named the new creation, Black Cow Mountain but the local children shortened the name to Black Cow.

What does "procrastinate" mean?
Make decisions quickly
Delegate tasks
Delay or postpone action
Take immediate action
What does "procrastinate" mean?
Delay or postpone action
procrastinate (prəˈkrastəˌnāt)
Definition: to delay or postpone action; to put off doing something until later
Origin: from the Latin word procrastinatus, which means "to put off until tomorrow"
Example: I always procrastinate studying for exams until the night before, which is not a good habit.
Delay or postpone action is the essence of the word "procrastinate". This word describes the act of putting off doing something until later, even though it might be better to do it sooner. Many people procrastinate when it comes to tasks they don't enjoy or find difficult, such as studying for exams, doing housework, or paying bills. Procrastination can lead to stress and anxiety, as well as missed opportunities and unfinished tasks. It's important to recognize when we are procrastinating and to take steps to overcome this habit, such as breaking tasks into smaller steps or setting deadlines for ourselves.

Ain't There (dere) No More - New Orleans
Lede Trischell
The New Orleans Municipal Auditorium is a historic building that opened on May 30, 1930. Designed by Favrot and Livaudais Architects and constructed by contractor George A. Caldwell, it has hosted numerous concerts and events. Notably, it served as the venue for many New Orleans Mardi Gras krewe balls. Originally, the auditorium was a state-of-the-art facility, combining features of an opera house, stadium, concert hall, Greek theater, exhibition room, and more. It even had a makeup room with a special passageway for Mardi Gras royalty to make grand entrances and a glass wall in the lobby for patrons to smoke while still enjoying the show. Unfortunately, the building now stands abandoned, but its rich history remains

City of a Million Dreams
Film: The Mystery of the New Orleans Jazz Funeral
Thursday, June 13
Why do we dance for the dead? To most people, jazz funerals are a mystery.
The marching band leads the procession of grief to the slow dirges, sorrow songs, and after burial the jazzmen kick into up tempo parade anthems, the soul’s “cutting loose” for the second line of dazzling street dancers. How did these funerals arise? What do they tell us about New Orleans today? In “City of a Million Dreams”, a documentary film, Jewish writer and videographer Deb Cotton and prolific clarinetist Michael White take us on a journey from the jazz funeral's roots in the danced memory of enslaved Africans through its integration with European marching bands, from Katrina through the recovery of parading culture, celebrating its complex modern legacy and searching for the soul of New Orleans.
This is an in-person, paid event. The screening will be followed by a talk from filmmaker Jason Berry.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.
