~The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has told shippers that the Mississippi River could be closed to barge traffic as soon as next week.
The river must be at least 9 feet deep to maintain a channel for commerce, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The latest forecasts indicate that the water could fall beneath the required minimum depth Jan. 3 or 4 in the Thebes area about 125 miles south of St. Louis. Contractors are currently working in that area to remove rock pinnacles from the river bottom in effort to keep the waterway open to traffic.

Week 15, Bucs at Saints: Trouble No More ~SaintsWin~The past 11 months have been neither enjoyable nor encouraging but, like
many things in life, they turn for the better after awhile. In a
seeming moment the discontent and disillusion faded, with hope and a
promise of redemption assuming their place.
So begins the transition to the 2013 Saints' season.
We are hope despite the times ~moosedenied
~So much for the ridiculous notion that the Saints had "given up" or "don't give a shit anymore." So much for fans resigning themselves to 1970s-style Saints football for the next ten years because Roger slammed the window shut. So much for the offense having lost the Magic. So much for the defense being hopelessly, irredeemably shitty. So much for Mark Ingram being The Next Troy Davis. So much for Joseph Morgan being The Next Onome Ojo. So much for Jimmy Graham being a one-year-wonder. So much for the 100 Million Dollar Man being in the early stages of being washed-up and/or having lost his edge. So much for this team being a shell of its former self. Sunday's performance reaffirmed that the killing machine of the last three years is still in there somewhere. Feel free to exhale now.
Saints vs Buccaneers: A Skunk Never Smelled so Sweet ~Saints Tailgate
~One really cool thing about the game is the perception that the players were playing for their jobs. I didn’t see that today; I saw guys playing for pride. I saw guys who remembered they were supposed to protect their home turf, and thanking the fans who bought the tickets and came to see them play.

Fuck You, Pelicans Are Awesome
~Oh, it splashes around in the water and gulps down fish that are just swimming by, that's not hunting,
is a thing that fools say. While it's true that the White Pelican dips
its head underwater and scoops out the fish, that's not the pelican
we're talking about here. The Brown Pelican is the state bird of
Louisiana, and it's the only species of pelican that dives to catch its prey. The Brown Pelican is a raptor, without the stupid purple dinosaur logo.
It cruises above the water, its eyesight so good that it can see fish beneath the surface from 60 feet up. Then it spirals into a death dive, streaking down upon the unsuspecting prey before it knows what hit it. The last thing that fish ever sees is the light blinking out as the pelican's gaping beak closes around it, and it's swallowed—while still alive.

Big bill for levee upkeep comes to New Orleans
~This Aug. 27, 2012 file photo, shows a teddy bear at the base of a
marker for the 17th Street Canal Floodwall in New Orleans. By the time
the next hurricane season starts in June 2013, New Orleans will take
control of much of a revamped protection system of gates, walls and
armored levees the Army Corps of Engineers has spent about $12 billion
building. The corps has about $1 billion worth of work left. Engineers
consider it a Rolls Royce of flood protection, comparable to systems in
seaside European cities such as Venice and Rotterdam. (AP Photo/David J.
