What's making news in New Orleans?
| JETS ARRIVE JUST IN TIME: Well, not in time to prevent the Saints from going into Week 14 with the longest active losing streak in the NFL, but the match-up against the perennial AFC East punching bags allowed the Saints to stop the slide at five games.

On the north shore, the proposal to build a new casino complex in the Slidell area was shot down. You'll find all our election coverage here. Thanks for starting your day with us.
