Clemancy sought: A former New Orleans woman who is serving a life sentence after she fed cow’s milk to her infant son who later died of malnourishment could have a chance at freedom. Over the objections of a prosecutor, the state Parson Board ruled Monday that Tiffany Woods should go free, John Simerman reports. August cold front: A cold front is on the way. (Insert appropriate laughter here.) Really. Mike Smith tells us that the cold front won't actually bring much cold air, but it'll be less humid. Temps today will be close to 100 degrees again, but will plunge into the low-90s on Wednesday. Brrr. Lest you think summer's over, the governor has declared a state of emergency over the heat. Record-setting tix: Good luck finding a face-value ticket for Taylor Swift’s three shows in the Caesars Superdome next year. Her three-day run in the huge stadium is a sellout – which means she has likely sold more than 150,000 tickets, music writer Keith Spera reports. No one else has ever sold that many tickets in a single day for a show(s) in the Dome, he writes. Slow your roll, Saints fans: That win over the Chiefs got you dreaming of a Saints Super Bowl? Columnist Jeff Duncan says after re-watching the game, he’s a little less optimistic. Thanks for taking some time with us today. If you aren't a subscriber, here's a great deal. Cheers, Bob |
