Drew Brees Will Lead New Orleans Saints to Another Super Bowl~Bleacher Report
Hurricane Katrina victims fight FEMA repayments 6 years after receiving aid
In eroding civil liberties, Barack Obama finishes what George Bush began~James Gill
Why can't Louisiana flex our muscle like Brazil~The flexibility of Brazilian FFVs empowers the consumers to choose the fuel depending on current market prices. As ethanol fuel economy is lower than gasoline because of ethanol's energy content is close to 34% less per unit volume than gasoline, flex cars running on ethanol get a lower mileage than when running on pure gasoline. However, this effect is partially offset by the usually lower price per liter of ethanol fuel. As a rule of thumb, Brazilian consumers are frequently advised by the media to use more alcohol than gasoline in their mix only when ethanol prices are 30% lower or more than gasoline, as ethanol price fluctuates heavily depending on the result of seasonal sugar cane harvests.

Drew Dat~Beauty Jackson, Red Bean Dreams
The Paradox of the National Team
~Tom Junod, Esquire
~And so the game last night was a contest between one of the teams that is powerfully local, and plays at a level of interest to a national fan base; and one of the teams that appeals to a fan base deracinated by definition, and is of no interest to anyone who doesn't read the local sports pages. A contest, in other words, between Drew Brees and Matt Ryan — between a quarterback who aspires, in his 11th year, to avenge all the wrongs ever visited on him or his adopted hometown, and a quarterback who, after five years in the league, aspires to an abstracted idea of excellence, like any other middle-manager on the go.

Part of the problem is the fact the corps is insisting on performing its own review, while also calling for an outside firm to conduct a second review, Sterman said.

~Brain-eating tap water amoeba kills at least two in Louisiana~Deborah Dupre, Examiner
~It is Naegleri fowleri, a rare amoeba that lives in warm fresh water that attacks the brain, causing death. The brain-eating amoeba is blamed for three deaths in 2011.
Louisiana health officials have issued a warning Friday to residents about nonsterilized tap water after at least two people, one in De Soto Parish and the other in New Orleans, died after exposing their brains to a deadly, water-borne, brain-eating amoeba while flushing their nasal passages.

'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.

Jean-Paul Villere: Where’s the ‘crete?
~Uptown Messenger~I live and work in the Freret corridor, and for many moons now promises of a new streetscape have been on the horizon. Most recently, the collective residents and business owners were informed by the city just weeks ago the start date would be some time in early November. Look at your calendar. It’s the middle of December, and not a bit of concrete has been disturbed.

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.
