'Special' cupcakes get Louisiana mother arrested
~Associated Press Reporting~The mother of a man incarcerated in the Eunice City Jail has been arrested after officers said she tried to smuggle narcotics to her son in a box of cupcakes. On Saturday, Dandaline K. Sattler of Eunice, and her boyfriend, Lindale Jamone Chaney of Ville Platte, were booked with introduction of contraband into a penal institution. According to police, Sattler's son, 18-year-old Phillip Foster Lafleur, who is in jail on multiple charges, contacted his mother and requested she and Chaney obtain narcotics, place them in a cupcake box and bring to them to the jail. A check by an officer revealed a small amount of synthetic marijuana in the box of cupcakes. It was unclear whether the suspects have attorneys.

Try not to kick anybody in the face
~Library Chronicles
~This isn't the first time we've seen the Saints' burgeoning reputation become an issue. The author of that post quoted above sort of wonders whether such a thing is actually warranted, though, since there exist far more egregious examples of "dirty play" around the league. Anyone who watched the Saints-Lions game last week will tell you Detroit was the more undisciplined and, I suppose you could call it "dirtier" team on the filed by far that night. And this was the case even as their leading bad boy Ndamukong Suh was serving a suspension for having kicked someone in the face on Thanksgiving Day.

Saints at Titans: Broadcast Information

Don't let the corps go back to its old ways: ~Sen. David Vitter
~Since Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has built a whole new and stronger hurricane and flood protection system for most of greater New Orleans.
It's unprecedented in scope, cost and speed of construction because of the emergency authority and funding that Congress passed following the storm. The problem is that extraordinary response is wrapping up, and the old norm for the corps -- a vicious cycle of bureaucracy, delay and cost overruns -- is returning with a vengeance.
