Good afternoon, friends. Hope you're having a great (or at least good) Wednesday. Here's what's happening on NOLA.com. Sybil Morial RIP: Sybil Haydel Morial, an educator and civil rights leader who the wife of one New Orleans mayor and the mother of another, died Tuesday at 91. Tyler Bridges and John Pope take a look at her amazing life. Derek Carr’s challenge: It's a tough job replacing a legend. As Derek Carr enters season No. 2 as the Saints starting QB, beat writer Matthew Paras asks if Carr can win over a fan base that still longs for the Drew Brees glory years? Teacher pay: A new state law requires public school districts to pay teachers overtime for some of the work they do outside their classrooms. But are districts following that law? Patrick Wall has the story. Rain, then comfort: Prepare for rain – potentially lots of it – the next couple of days. But then we’re told it’ll get . . . cooler? An iconic bar’s birthday: Did you hoist one yesterday in honor of the Carousel Bar. The iconic, rotating bar in the lobby of the Monteleone Hotel in the French Quarter turned 75, and the celebration will last the month, Annette Sisco writes.
