New Orleans Victory

　　AZUZ: From that first game, it took 21 years for the Saints to make the playoffs and 34 years for the team to actually win a playoff game. But Sunday night, the Saints reached the top of the football world -- you know it -- they won Super Bowl XLIV, were crowned world champions. The team was showered with congratulations, literally, in this case. That's the Saints' team plane getting ready to take off from the airport. And when the world champs arrived back in New Orleans yesterday, the fans were there to show their support. The city had rallied around the Saints in the wake of Hurricane Katrina several years ago. And after Sunday night's win, quarterback Drew Brees, who was named Super Bowl MVP, said the victory was about more than just the team.

　　"We played for so much more than just ourselves," he said. "We played for our city, we played for the entire Gulf Coast region, and we played for the entire 'Who Dat' nation."

　　Toyota

　　AZUZ: Production's back on at several Toyota plants around the U.S. You've heard about the company's recall because of malfunctioning gas pedals. That affected millions of vehicles; Toyota decided to shut down production of those models for a week. The company now says it has enough replacement parts to get going again. So yesterday, the assembly lines started moving, employees got back to building. The temporary shutdown affected plants in Kentucky, Texas, Indiana and Canada. As for cars already on the road that were part of the recall, Toyota dealerships began repairing thousands of those vehicles last week.

　　However, more bad news for the car company: Late yesterday, reports that Toyota will announce a global recall for the 2010 Prius. This is connected to a problem with that car's brake system. An estimated 37,000 Priuses are on the road in the U.S. More than 200,000 have been sold worldwide.liuxuepaper.com
