The Saints strutted into the Georgia Dome, took the best shot the upstart Falcons could deliver and battled back to avenge a bitter overtime loss in September.
The Saints have enjoyed a lot of great wins in the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era, but few were more hard-fought or meaningful than this one.
The Saints not only secured a playoff berth ­-- their third in the past five seasons -- they also kept alive their slim hopes to earn a first-round postseason bye and the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.
As road wins go, it ranks with the best in Saints history, right there with the 2006 win in Dallas, the 2000 shocker in St. Louis and the 1987 landmark victory in Pittsburgh.
The Falcons had won an NFL-high eight consecutive games and, at 12-2, were working their way toward one of the best records in the club's 45-year history. They'd already vanquished three potential playoff teams -- the Ravens, Packers and Buccaneers -- at the Georgia Dome this season.

New Year’s eve is just around the corner and a lot of people are already preparing for ways to celebrate the end of 2010. In fact, there are those who are looking for New Year’s Eve Party ideas, ideas which are innovative and creative and create more bonding during the process. However, besides the parties and celebration we found out that New Year’s quotes are also a good way to show friendship and love this New Year 2011.
“I usually send New Year’s quotes to my friends during New Year’s eve and they say that they feel really important. For me it is an inexpensive way to show your love ones that they matter,” said Janice Chua, a Chinese-American from Ohio.


Another person we interviewed also fro Ohio told us that he always make sure that quotes are included in his gifts during the New Year, “I givr cakes and other items to my relatives during New Year’s eve and I always remember to put some New Year’s quotes on them every time. Why? The answer is simple, because quotes serves as a guide for our life. That is why they are important.”
Here are some of the favorite quotes of the two persons from Ohio which we asked earlier. We are really inspired to share their favorite New Year’s quotes to you our dear readers.

Although Drew Brees is mostly known for donning a big Saints helmet where his face is pretty much hidden, the marking on his cheek still makes people wonder where, when and how it got there. But while most people think it’s a scar, it isn’t a scar at all. Rather, it is a…birthmark. He reportedly had surgery a couple of years ago to try to have it removed but it just made it a bit smaller and still left a mark. This was a birthmark he was born with and with all his appearances and endorsement deals, he is probably more attentive to it then he was before. But his real magic isn’t from his appearance, it’s the great stuff that he does on the field that really makes headlines.

Afridi chose to field first and made New Zealand to bat in the second match of the three match series at Seddon Park at Hamilton on Tuesday.

This match is very crucial for Pakistan after it lost the first match against New Zealand on Sunday.
 After several hours of heavy rain which cleared a few hours before the scheduled evening start in Hamilton, Shahid had no hesitation in making New Zealand bat first under overcast skies and with a damp outfield.

Pakistan have made one change from the first match with Asad Shafiq coming in for middle-order batsman Fawad Alam.

New Zealand have stood down their two debutants from the opening game, Adam Milne and Dean Brownlie, and brought in all-rounder Luke Woodcock for his debut and new-ball bowler Ian Butler.

ATLANTA -- The New Orleans Saints were not going to give up their NFC South crown without a fight. The Saints (11-4) came into the Georgia Dome on Monday night, where the Atlanta Falcons have managed to pull out one close win after another, and beat the Falcons 17-14.

Atlanta (12-3) is in the playoffs, but the Falcons will have to wait until next week's game with the Carolina Panthers to win and claim the division title. New Orleans (11-4) secured a wild card berth with the victory and they did it with a defense that stymied the Falcons attack in the second half.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees took his team 90 yards in 13 plays for the go-ahead touchdown, a 6-yard pass to tight end Jimmy Graham with 3:24 to play.

It was just the second home loss for Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan in three seasons.

Early, there was a nasty culture to the game, which was expected given the comments from Atlanta receiver Roddy White during the week. He called the Saints the "Aints" and it caused a storm.

The convoy of a leading Haitian presidential candidate came under attack from gunmen, the candidate's sister said Tuesday.

"We just cannot believe it. It's unbelievable. We're still in shock," said Rita Celestin-Rancy, a sister of Jude Celestin, who was traveling with her brother's 20-vehicle convoy to the southern city of Jeremie when they came under fire near Beaumont.

Celestin-Rancy said one person was killed and another wounded. Police did not return calls from CNN.

Campaign manager Joseph Flambert called into Haiti's Radio Caraibes to say the convoy retreated after a "hail of bullets."

SAN DIEGO -- Showing he is more than just a pretty arm, San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers bolted for a key first down in the third quarter of the Chargers’ runaway victory over the back-in-the dumps Denver Broncos in a chilly Monday night game.


The man is almost on pace to throw for more yards than anyone in the history of man, but he showed can do it all even though San Diego tight end Antonio Gates jokes that Rivers looks like he is runs “with boots on.” After the 9-yard chug on third-and-8, on cue, the astute San Diego crowd erupted into a “MVP” chant.

                                         
                                                             

The stock market dipped today, despite some encouraging national economic data.
The number of U.S. workers who filed new claims for unemployment benefits fell 24,000 last week to 435,000. Jobless claims plunged throughout 2009 as the economy exited recession, but they have been stuck in the 450,000 range through the first 10 months of this year.
The four-week average of initial claims sank to its lowest level in two years - down 10,000 to 446,500, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The economy added 151,000 jobs in October, double market expectations, in its strongest showing since April.
Wisconsin’s first-time unemployment claims rose slightly last week to 15,763 from 15,394 in the week before. However, Wisconsin’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 7.8 percent remains below the national rate of 9.6 percent.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Commerce reported today that the U.S. trade deficit narrowed in September, as exports rose to their highest level in more than two years.

TOO MANY TRADER JOE'S? There could eventually be three Trader Joe's along the West 3rd Street corridor. One is planned for Burton Way near San Vicente Boulevard. And there are now reports of another being considered for 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue (there is already one at 3rd and La Brea Avenue). Curbed L.A. skillfully sorts this all out and reports on neighborhood concerns about selling alcohol at the La Brea location: A local neighborhood council "voted to oppose TJ’s application for a renewal of its conditional use permit to sell liquor at the Third and La Brea store. The council opposed the CUP out of principle -- they want the store to address some of their concerns."

The punchlines of Sam Kinison still scald even after two decades of his death. His humor brand such as dark, cerbral and raunchy of the early ’80s still has no peer in the modern comedy. He had set the stand-up world into ablaze with his blending scabrous insights, rock music, politically incorrect observations and also an ex-preacher’s sense of drama.
The Back From Hell: A Tribut to Sam Kinison is not the documentary on his life, as many may be hoping. Directed by Robert Small, the documentary is more of touching the major aspects of Kinison and also of the over-reliance on the recent comics waxing rhapsodic about the comedian’s work.
The documentary is of 60 minutes that aired earlier this year on the Comedy Central.

WASHINGTON: George Bush, who took America into two wars, backed ''waterboarding'' of terrorism suspects, was labelled a racist by a black entertainer over his response to Hurricane Katrina and went against his belief in the free market to bail out Wall Street, says he hopes that his presidency will ultimately be judged a success.

But he does not expect to be around to learn the verdict.

''I'm gonna be dead … when they finally figure it out,'' he said in his first major interview in almost two years. But he added that he was comfortable simply knowing that ''I gave it my all, that I love America and that I know it's an honour to serve''.

Mr Bush was speaking on the eve of the release of his memoirs, Decision Points, in which he documents key moments in his life, from the time he quit drinking alcohol at age 40 to when he sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.

The book also reveals that America's 43rd president flirted with the idea of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, according to The Guardian, which obtained an advance copy of the book.

''I directed the Pentagon to study what would be necessary for a strike,'' Mr Bush writes, before adding: ''This would be to stop the bomb clock, at least temporarily.''
