Our favorite muscle cars won't be getting cheaper anytime soon, and regardless of the current economic situation, street machines are still commanding big money. If you're like most enthusiasts, a lot of us still dream of owning a first-gen Camaro, or early Chevelles and Novas for that matter.
It's not to say that you still can't score a project car for a decent price, but let's be real—you better be at the right place at the right time. For others, they've done an excellent job of holding onto their pride and joy and gradually transforming them into the incredible street machines we like to feature.
Nevertheless, we're still fortunate enough to have a wide selection of cool cars to choose from, including the four-door variants and wagons. Lest we forget, there are also the later-model Novas, G-bodies like the Monte Carlo and Malibu, and El Caminos. Taking it one step newer are the third- and fourth-gen Camaros and C4 Corvettes—all of which are great platforms for performance modifications.
We're living in an era where the aftermarket offers just about every bolt-on you can imagine, making it easy to turn any mundane cruiser into a serious performer. The hardest part is deciding which car is right for you. Check it out and we're sure you'll agree, plenty of cars are still roaming around that are just craving to get your attention. —Henry D
The two-door, "big-body" Chevelle (A-body) is legendary. As its design progressed through the years, its claimed horsepower and torque ascended into muscle car history with superstar status. However, by the '73 model year, the Chevelle had lost a lot of its power due to government and environmental restrictions. Although power was on the decline, its suspension remained throughout and front discs were now standard. Its frame was also sturdier than previous models and came with the larger, 8.5-inch rearend and wider, 6-inch wheel rim width. Rear suspension is also a four-link design and makes upgrading to stronger, adjustable arms a no-brainer for performance applications.
The Chevelle was supposed to be GM's midsize family hauler, however, many owners and gearheads alike quickly turned them into stripped-down models for racing. The good news, Chevelle parts are plentiful and suspension components are not only abundant but probably the aftermarkets most favorite to supply. These models serve as the perfect LS-engine swap, too, with complete swap kits available. Even though the coupes of these years are fetching higher bids, the four-door and wagon models remain low. Again, suspension and drivetrain remained the same and could haul more since wagons came in six- and even nine-passenger models.

The earlier-model year Novas sporting fewer doors are undeniably, the most sought after platforms. Commonly referred to as, "Chevy IIs" and "Box Novas," their simplistic shape, minor parts, featherweight construction, and ability to swallow almost any engine size has made them well liked. Finding a rust-free, two-door roller in "decent shape" is another story. Unless you're in the right place at the right time, finding one at a bargain is almost unheard of.
That's where the previously unwanted '62-65 four-door sedan gains its strength. Typically not as desirable as its earlier two-door sibling, the aftermarket is rich in suspension and OEM replacement parts since most are universal. Early Novas relied on a semi-unibody construction and consisted of a bolt-on front and rear section. For later Novas ('68-74) the front and rear was changed to a complete subframe structure assembly and was shared with the Camaro, introduced later that year.

As I know, Denmark is going to re-impose the border controls. I want to know, what exactly it means for the tourists who are on a Schengen visa? Can I visit Denmark with the Schengen visa, or I need some additional documents? I'm a Russian citizen.
From the linked article:
So yes, you can still visit Denmark with your Schengen visa and you don't need additional documents. The only thing that's extra is that you can be checked by customs at some particular border crossings. But as long as you have a valid visa, and you are not in possession of anything illegal, you should be fine.
This sad measure is a populist political one. The plan is to selectively check people crossing the border in order to reduce the amount of illegal immigrants.
As a tourist, you will probably not notice the difference, unless you happen to come from an Eastern European or North African country.

The Religious Right's Terms of Surrender
Last week's Supreme Court rulings striking down the Defense of Marriage Act and denying standing to California's Proposition 8 supporters have brought out the usual clown show of conservative religious leaders proclaiming the end of days. It's the standard stuff from the activist right: Here comes pedophilia, incest, polygamy, and bestiality. Christian florists will be dragged to jail for refusing to cater a same-sex wedding. School children will now be forced to simulate lesbian sex with their Barbies. Stirred to action by the decision, the Christian right has vowed to resist the spread of same-sex marriage nationwide, using civil disobedience if necessary. There's even talk of reviving the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would amend the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
But conservative intellectuals aren't expressing the same bravado as their activist counterparts. Like the 73 percent of Republicans who say gay marriage is "inevitable," thinkers on the right are conceding defeat, and considering what the future looks like for opponents of same-sex marriage. Here's conservative columnist Ross Douthat at The New York Times:
Unless something dramatic changes in the drift of public opinion, the future of religious liberty on these issues is going to depend in part on the magnanimity of gay marriage supporters—the extent to which they are content with political, legal and cultural victories that leave the traditional view of marriage as a minority perspective with some modest purchase in civil society, versus the extent to which they decide to use every possible lever to make traditionalism as radioactive in the America of 2025 as white supremacism or anti-Semitism are today.
Maggie Gallagher, founder and former president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM)—the country's most powerful traditional-marriage group—expressed a similar sentiment in a conversation with the Prospect's E.J. Graff after the 2012 election. After passing constitutional amendments in 30 states banning same-sex marriage, in November voters in four states rejected similar amendments. Gallagher conceded that it was a turning point, and said wistfully that she hoped same-sex marriage would become, in the future, something reasonable people could disagree on—that opponents of gay unions would not be branded as bigots and shunned from public discourse. Think abortion—where you can be an upstanding member of society and still hold the minority view—not racial segregation, where a firm public consensus exists.
Douthat and Gallagher's pleas for pluralism will go unanswered. As I've written before, in the future opposition to marriage equality will indeed be the moral equivalent of racism, and whether or not this happens depends little on the magnanimity of gay-marriage supporters.
For one, you can't go to war with one idea and concede another. The argument from religious conservatives—both the activists and the intellectuals—was never that they should be free to perform and celebrate marriage in accordance with deeply held beliefs about human nature, gender, and divinity. Nor was it that the traditional view of marriage is entitled to cultural respect. It was an absolutist one: Either civil marriage excludes same-sex couples, or it is meaningless for everyone.
Key to understanding this view is the Orwellian term "religious liberty," a watchword whose meaning is a far cry from the "freedom of religion" guaranteed by the Constitution. Among Christian conservatives, "religious liberty" means having one's views codified as those of the state. This isn't just my uncharitable characterization. Current NOM President Brian Brown said precisely this a month ago:
The reality is, if you pass [gay marriage], you're undermining religious liberty … there isn't really a way to sort of carve out the rights of those of us who believe that marriage is the union of a man and a woman because the law undermines that belief.
Comedians love to poke fun at it, and it's baffling, but "my toys are ruined if I have to share" is really what it amounts to. The point is not that, after the dust settles, individual gay-marriage supporters will hold these extremist views against those who privately oppose same-sex marriage. It's that, three decades after conservative Christians jumped the Church-State divide with the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition, opposition to same-sex marriage has become synonymous with this sort of religious absolutism.
Over cocktails after work, Douthat can get into a lengthy conversation with one of his liberal colleagues at the Times about how his views are different from those making the case on the front lines. But most exchanges about political issues don't work that way. If you tell someone under 30 you oppose gay marriage, the instant assumption is that you're a religious extremist. You won't get much further than the first few words. Given how this battle played out, the swell of support in favor of same-sex marriage will drive the extremists back across the line along with their nicer friends.
There is another reason opposition to same-sex marriage won't hold the cachet that opposition to abortion still enjoys. Public opinion on abortion has remained about where it was in 1973, largely because the question of where on the continuum from zygote to full-born child life, and therefore civil rights, begins is so difficult to answer—no less so because of advances in medical technology. As the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade acknowledged, there are many legitimate views, which is why the Justices refused to answer the question directly.
But there is no coherent case against civil marriage for gay couples. The only argument against same-sex marriage that holds water is the religious one. It may have been codified in our secular legal system, but the religious view of marriage was always on shaky ground; with religiosity plummeting and support for same-sex marriage skyrocketing, it was only a matter of time before public opinion turned against it too. As a former Catholic, I understand the religious view of marriage well. I used to stress to my catechism students that the union of man and woman in marriage wasn't just natural, but supernatural. In court the opponents of same-sex marriage have stressed the reproductive capabilities of heterosexual relationships, but theologically the bond between the sexes runs much deeper. "Male" and "female" aren't just biological designations, but deeply marked in human nature. Marriage joins them at a spiritual level. In nature the union can produce offspring, but this is merely a reflection of this deep spiritual compatibility, woven into the order of creation. As a symbol of the bond between Christ and the ark of salvation, the Church, the sacrament of marriage is also redemptive. If this is how you see marriage, it's easy to understand why the very idea of same-sex marriage seems ludicrous.
But in a secular democracy—and in court, where it matters—you have to make the case by skirting the surface, without referencing these deep spiritual truths. Of course the subtext has been there all along in the legal arguments about the "history and traditions of Western civilization." You can hear the echo—"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." When it came time to argue in Court why marriage should be restricted to heterosexual couples, the best opponents of same-sex marriage could do was bring up the point about reproduction, which leaves out the tens of thousands of couples who cannot reproduce, and those who are too old to.
Next, they tried to argue the flip side of the coin: That same-sex marriage would harm the institution, harm society, and harm children. These have long been consequences religious people assumed would come with breaking God's law, but they've never been borne out by any research. Growing up with two parents of the same sex doesn't harm children. Gay marriage doesn't lead to more crime. And the burden of proof is on the religious right to show how exactly it harms the the abstract notion of "the institution." After promising the trial court judge in the Prop. 8 case that they would present him with 23 ways in which allowing gay marriage would do just that, they presented no such evidence at trial. Wondering where the goods were, Justice Vaughn Walker asked Chuck Cooper, lead attorney for the proponents of Prop. 8, directly: What would be the harm of allowing gays and lesbians to marry? "My answer is, I don't know," Cooper relied. "I don't know." Religious conservatives have failed to make the secular case against same-sex marriage because, quite simply, there isn't one.
Where does all this leave religious conservatives? Out of politics, where these views belong.

The current controversy IRONICALLY harks back to a time when ONE of these absolutist religious groups was being PERSECUTED BY ALL THE OTHERS: the debate on statehood for Utah. The FULL FAITH AND CREDIT clause in Article 4 has traditionally been understood as including the requirement that every state recognize marriages and divorces (both being court decisions at the level of civil law) of all the other states. No underage couple who elopes to a state with a lower minimum and gets married there can be considered "not married" by their home state; and the same goes for divorces (or did, when every state had more or less strict laws requiring a courtroom fight).
When the Mormon-run territory of Deseret wanted to become a state, other states feared they would bring polygamy into the rest of the nation via the FFAC clause; Brigham Young's son and his harem of 20 wives could move to California, where they would have to be recognized as an exception to California's marriage law; OR a Californian could move to Utah, buy a dozen virgins, marry them in Utah, and bring them home to California. This "nightmare" (to most non-Mormons) was avoided when Utah's territorial government, at the direction of a new "revelation" to the Church President, banned polygamy.
If DOMA had never passed, every state that recognized gay marriage set up those couples to move to other states and force their marriages to be recognized there. DOMA made a Federal exception to FFAC,and now that it is overthrown, common sense would dictate that FFAC requires non-gay-marriage states to RECOGNIZE gay marriages performed in gay marriage states; but those states WOULD be legally able to restrict the legal solemnization of gay weddings IN their jurisduction.
The problem with the "religious liberty" argument (like "states' rights") is that it is presented as the "right" of an organized GROUP (in states' rights belief, the state) to interfere with the rights of other individuals (in states' rights belief, black people) who do not BELONG to, nor ACCEPT, the group's theology (the First Amendment has no legal problem with a religion disapproving of something its members might be tempted to do, such as play cards or dance, or to punish them by NON-COERCIVELY urging them to perform penance or leave the group). This is seen in the objections to birth control coverage for non-Catholic employees of Catholic-run non-religious enterprises such as schools and hospitals. I don't mean to pick on Catholics here, it's just that they are the oldest church that made these restrictions OFFICIAL. Many groups such as the SBC and the AOG are becoming "Catholic" with regard to both abortion AND birth control lately. By not offering insurance that covers birth control, they are interfering with the rights of their employees who do not subscribe to their religious doctrine.

Almost everything you say about Full Faith and Credit and marriage is incorrect. While FFAC does require each state to recognize each other's divorces (because they are judicial proceedings), the FFAC has never been held to apply to marriages (which are licenses, in the constitutional sense).
If you think about this, it makes sense. The Lovings' marriage in Loving v. Virginia was upheld, not on FFAC, but equal protection. FFAC did nothing to protect people from miscegenation laws when they crossed state lines. Section 2 of DOMA, which says that no state needs to recognize another's marriage simply restates law as it was before DOMA. And indeed, if marriages really were subject constitution protection under FFAC, a simple statute could not overrule the Constitution.
It's been a while since I studied it, but there are some basic principles.
In reality, the recognition of out-of-state marriages has traditionally been a patchwork of different laws and policies. Traditionally, states relied on common law notions of comity (if you recognize our marriages, we'll recognize yours) but with some public policy limitations (we'll recognize your marriage, unless they are first cousins, because first cousins can't marry in our state). This was very litigated in the past when marriage laws differed much more from state to state than they do now – common law marriage, age of consent, degree of kinship.
For opposite sex marriage, some of the states may still follow the common law analysis in some instances. But New York, for example, recognizes other state's marriages by statute. Even before New York had marriage equality, it recognized other states' valid same sex marriages. Thirty states have state constitutional provisions barring recognition of other states' same sex marriages, but which probably don't change the laws on recognition of opposite sex marriages.
Some marriages are recognized for limited purposes as a matter of equity (a marriage between an older man and a 14-year-old girl that is valid in South Carolina might be recognized by another state only for limited purposes -- protecting the rights of the girl, but not imposing burdens on her).

I was unaware that states had been "dissing" out of state weddings for so long. I do remember that eloping across a state line used to be the thing to do if Mom and Dad refused permission. Lots of young couples in Florida (at least northern Florida) used to elope to border towns in Georgia to get married, and as far as I know, Florida never annulled their marriages, even between returning and becoming old enough under Florida law.
And I do remember that in the history books, Congress did delay the admission of Utah to the Union primarily because of the FEAR that other states would be forced under the FFAC clause to recognize Utah "harems" if they should move outside their state -- or that Mormons in other states would elope to Utah, get married, and return with a few new wives. Maybe they didn't have anything to worry about, but the "ick" factor was in play.
We may have to wait for a test case in which a gay couple moves to a state that does not allow gay marriage and demands some benefit under that state's law (such as filing a state tax return jointly, adoption, or custody of a minor child born to a previous heterosexual marriage), then appeals their refusal. Incidentally, now that DOMA is dead, gay couple CAN file a federal joint return (and if they choose not to, the feds would NOT allow them to file singly, only "married filing separately," but a non-gay-marriage state that says the state return MUST be filed using the same status as the federal return. If these states forbid joint state returns, but require the same filing status on federal and state returns, such a couple would be forced to file their federal returns as single, and since DOMA has been struck down, they could go to federal court and say the state is interfering with their legal benefits from the feds, and possibly strike down that portion of the state's income tax law, AT LEAST. Or the feds could actually interpret the FFAC clause as applying to marriage also. After all, no other contract requires two people to pledge their contract in front of a JUDGE (or the clergy of the couple's choice, who is thus acting as a judge for this purpose).

Thinking Dem, it is desirable that all of us do our homework before making broad claims on blogs. As noted by others, your entire opening post was simply fallacious, since FFAC never applied fully to marriages. Volokh Conspiracy (conservative libertarians, but often quite smart) has had lots of discussion on the topic, with legally-trained posters and commenters.
States have had considerable leeway on accepting out-of-state marriages that they themselves would not license -- the real sticky issue has been 1st cousin marriages more than age, though. And I do know of a gay couple who adopted a child in New Jersey who had been born in North Carolina, and who then successfully sued North Carolina to issue a revised adoptee's birth certificate showing them, not the birth mother, as the parents -- probably on FFAC grounds, though I didn't follow the details. So FFAC is important for the many issues of family law, though not for marriages themselves. It's going to be messy, for sure.
As for polygamy: well, despite right-wingers' and evangelicals' constant references to it, I'm not aware of any suits or movements to have states recognize polygamous marriage; and since DOMA is a Federal case decided primarily on Federalism grounds, I can't see the Federal courts forcing the issue. If Utah did use, say, a referendum to change their state constitution to allow polygamy, however, it would be interesting to see whether DOMA logic required Federal recognition. But that would be the result of religious people getting what they wanted, not 'godless liberals' undermining faith, wouldn't it?

I agree with Arana on the marriage equality issue, of course, but I have to disagree with him about the idea that "religiosity" is "plummeting," and that "religiosity" is necessarily inverse to support for gay marriage. While it is true that mainstream Christian churches have reported membership declines in recent years, other churches (including some fundamentalist churches, for better or for worse) are growing. There are even megachurches that are liberal and growing, as argued in this article:
There's also a half-empty/half-full aspect to church statistics that liberals don't always appreciate. We hear constantly about the 25% of millenials that don't go to church regularly, but it's rarely mentioned that that statistic means that 75% do go.
Moreover, it's worth mentioning that devotion to Christianity does not have to equal opposition to gay marriage, and increasingly, it doesn't. The pro-gay side in Maine, Maryland and Minnesota won partly because of religious outreach. Furthermore, polls show increasing levels of support among Christian voters, including one amazing statistic we should all celebrate–majority support among white evangelicals under 30:

I hope you don't mind me contacting you.
I wondered if you could be kind enough to post a link on the website asking people to sign a petition for 10 Downing Street. It is genuine. It is requesting for more dementia nurses to be employed within our hospitals within the UK. There is a massive shortage with many hospitals not even having a single specialized nurse.
Terry is doing a fantastic job trying to raise awareness of this terrible illness which is on the increase. It is difficult for anybody to understand the desperate need there is and the differnce this could make to our loved ones, not just for now but the future.
I will fully understand if you can't do this, but if I don't ask then I wont know.
The link is http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Dement ... es/#detail
Many many thanks Diane Blower
This is almost certainly for UK residents only and I hope you'll all sign.
Petition to HM Government.
Thank you.

Have you ever been to a Hobby Lobby? I may or may not have peed my pants yesterday when I went for the first time. They had tons of cute home decor stuff for 80% percent off, and such cute mirrors, and frames for cheap. I could have stayed their for hours if my grumpy boys weren't trailing me. They didn't have tons of fabric, but they had some really cute, nice quality stuff on sale.
I picked up this bunch for a project I need to get crackin' on. Because packing, organizing, cleaning and my other 100 projects weren't enough. Ha. Now I have to hurry and see if I can get my hands on this to watch tonight, so I don't have to watch this:

BGA: Scouting Lex Hilliard
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
Earlier this week, the Jets signed free agent fullback/running back Lex Hilliard. Jets fans might not know too much about Hilliard, so I've been looking at game footage in detail to investigate what he could bring to the table.
Hilliard spent the preseason with the Vikings before being cut, after which he signed with the New England Patriots, although he didn't see much playing time in two games with them before being let go again. Prior to that, he had been with Tony Sparano's Miami Dolphins, who drafted him in the sixth round in 2008.
After the jump, I look in detail at footage from Hilliard's time in the league to evaluate some of his strengths and weaknesses.
Who is Lex Hilliard?
While he is mainly considered as a fullback now, Hilliard was a tailback in college at Montana. There he rushed for over 4,000 yards – including over 1,300 in 2005 – and caught 57 passes. In 2006, he suffered an achilles injury and missed the entire season and although he bounced back with another 1,000 yard season in his senior year, that may have robbed him of some speed. He only ran a 4.66 at the combine, although he did post impressive numbers in the short shuttle (4.03), vertical jump (36.5 inches) and broad jump (over 10 feet), so clearly he had some explosiveness and agility. Miami drafted him in 2008 and he spent his rookie year on their practice squad.
In 2009, he saw some action on special teams but finally started seeing regular action towards the end of the season – then as a backup tailback. He had a breakout game in Week 16, catching nine passes for 74 yards and a touchdown and rushing for another score. However, in 2010, he didn't play much, touching the ball just once on a three yard catch, but he did see regular action as a backup fullback and occasional halfback in 2011. When New England signed him in 2012, it was purely as a fullback, although he only played nine snaps in two games. It's assumed that's the role the Jets have in mind for him, but with their running backs struggling, maybe he can contribute at the tailback position too.
He is listed at 228 pounds so fits into that hybrid back mold that perhaps the Jets saw in Terrance Ganaway. He's not a 250 pounds pure blocking back like John Conner, but lacks the speed to be a conventional tailback. However, he should be able to run with some power and bring some versatility to the backfield.
The Numbers
Four seasons (plus one on Miami's practice squad)
50 games
Four starts, all in 2011
40 carries, 132 yards, two touchdowns (3.3 ypc)
26 catches, 210 yards, two touchdowns
93% catch rate
No drops or fumbles
One kick return for 14 yards
25 special teams tackles, including 14 in 2009 and nine in 2010, two missed tackles, one penalty (neutral zone)
One offensive penalty committed (false start)
Zero 20+ yard plays
One fumble recovery
One blocked punt recovery for a touchdown
Based on all the regular season footage I watched, here was my take on what Hilliard brings to the table, divided into categories:
Usage – As noted, Hilliard was mostly used as a tailback in 2009, but has been employed mostly as a fullback since 2010. While he isn't your classic lead-blocking fullback, Hilliard has been mostly used in that role over the last few years. The Dolphins under Sparano also occasionally used him in three back sets, typically in short yardage situations or the wildcat package. They would sometimes employ three backs with two fullbacks and one tailback in the backfield (and even employed the Wing T at one point). However, from that formation, either fullback was often an option to carry the ball too. In their wildcat package, they would often have Ronnie Brown taking the snap with a back either side of him. One would then run to the outside to make a block for Brown to follow and the other would go straight up the middle, sometimes getting the ball from Brown on the handoff. The Dolphins also employed him at times in a dual back set in passing situations, thereby giving one or both backs the option to stay in to pass block.
The most common assumption in the media is that Hilliard has been acquired to fill in temporarily for John Conner (and if he does well, maybe the possibility exists that they'll stick with Hilliard and get rid of Conner). That's probably true, but there's also a chance that adding Hilliard will bring about some versatility to the running game, perhaps with Conner in the game at the same time, or with Hilliard taking his place in certain packages, but Conner still operating as the main lead blocker. They could certainly run three back sets with both at fullback and I would suggest that Hilliard might be better equipped for some of those wildcat plays, because he should be more mobile in terms of getting to the outside. His versatility in general could be a positive thing for those packages and he'll obviously be familiar with the playbook, having played with Miami for the last few seasons.
Running Ability – The first thing that stands out about Hilliard's stats is his poor yards per carry average. However, this is somewhat misleading because he was used so much in short yardage situations. On the basis of all the footage I watched, I've calculated his success rate in short yardage situations to be 80%. That happens to be somewhere that the Jets have been struggling – to the point where they've been reluctant to even try running the ball in those situations. However, there were several examples of Hilliard driving the pile in short yardage situations, so he was able to get a first down even when there wasn't a hole. He even converted a short yardage situation earlier this year with the Pats, so although they hardly used him, clearly they saw his worth in that area.
What Hilliard doesn't bring as a runner is any breakaway ability. He has never had a 20-yard play (as a runner or a receiver) in the NFL. Having said that, he did have a 39-yard touchdown run in preseason in 2009. He does flash the ability to get to the second level though. On his first ever carry, on 3rd and 15, he broke two tackles and drove the pile downfield to pick up 18 and a first down. That remains the longest run of his career, although he averaged just 3.2 yards on the rest of his carries that year. He did have a respectable 2.9 yards per carry after contact though. Other than as a short yardage back, he's pretty limited as a runner, although he scored one touchdown on a Jet Sweep out of the wildcat formation. His other touchdown came as the Dolphins had first and goal from the eight yard line and just gave it to him three times until he scored (although, after it clearly looked like he broke the plane on second down, it actually looked like he didn't on third down). On just 40 career carries, he has broken nine tackles, although that may be a little misleading because only one of them came since the end of the 2009 season and his move to fullback.
Run Blocking – Conner's biggest problem since getting in the league has been that he is sometimes inconsistent with sustaining his blocks. Often that's a product of trying to "light up" a guy in the hole, which – with NFL players – often means they just bounce off you and make a play. Hilliard, being a little smaller also sometimes lets guys get off his blocks to make plays, but it's usually more to do with him getting overpowered or losing the leverage battle. However, his lack of size doesn't necessarily stop him from making conventional fullback blocks. I saw one play where he met a linebacker in the hole and drove him out of the play. He also handled Muhammad Wilkerson last season, to set up a huge lane for a 28-yard Steve Slaton run. As you'd expect, he does look better than Conner at getting out on the move to make a block in space, although he did sometime miss his target at the second level.
He's not a dominant blocker by any means, but he didn't seem to blow too many assignments and there were only a few plays where guys threw him aside to make plays – the worst of which was in his own end zone and led to a safety.
Pass Protection – Hilliard had some issues in pass protection in 2009, giving up two sacks, two hits and one pressure in 39 pass block sacks. Both sacks were by Lamarr Woodley in the last game of the regular season. He also got beaten for a hit that led to an interception. Since then, he's only given up two pressures and no sacks or hits in 38 pass blocking snaps. That may be a product of him becoming a fullback and perhaps improving his strength because on some of those 2009 plays, he was driven off his spot and didn't keep a strong base. Conner has never looked that good in pass protection, so Hilliard could be an upgrade here too.
Receiving Threat – As a receiver, Hilliard was useful as a safety valve out of the backfield. Looking at the footage, it was basically the same play over and over again – he ran a diagonal to the flat, then caught the ball and turned upfield. On a few occasions, he had the speed to beat the linebacker to the outside and turn it into a decent gain, although his longest play was only 18 yards (on two occasions). One of these came as the quarterback scrambled around on 3rd and 13 and he found a soft spot for a dump off, which he caught in stride to get the first down. He also had two touchdowns in consecutive games at the end of the 2009 season on the same dump-off play – one where he dived for the pylon and another where he was wide open for a walk-in score.
Hands – Another impressive stat that jumps out is that Hilliard caught 20 passes on 20 targets in 2009. Since then, he's caught six of eight. Having said that, all of these were dump-offs, as he has never been thrown to more than 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Still, that's a good sign of how reliable he is in the short passing game, which might be a good way to get Sanchez into a rhythm and create holes for the running game by stretching the defense. There was one play where he juggled the ball and was tackled for no gain, but otherwise, he was very sure handed. He also has zero fumbles in his NFL career.
Special Teams – Hilliard has been a good contributor on specials teams. He was productive as a tackler, especially in 2009 and 2010, and also contributed in other ways, for example as a blocker on the kick return unit and on the punt return unit where he scored a touchdown on a blocked punt in 2011.
Attitude – Hilliard seems to have a positive attitude, as summed up by this quote, which perhaps is the sort of positive example it makes sense to add to the team:
"I'll play whatever. It may have to be on special teams. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to help the Miami Dolphins win."
(Obviously, replace "Miami Dolphins" with "New York Jets" within that quote).
I didn't see too many brain cramps and missed assignments by Hilliard, although there was a miscommunication on a draw play which indirectly led to Chad Henne's season ending injury last year and there was also one play where he recovered a muffed kickoff at the one and took a knee in the endzone, which should have been a safety, but he got lucky with the call.
This might be exactly what everybody says it is – a temporary move to replace an injured starter – but Hilliard may bring some things that the Jets currently lack and therefore end up making a positive contribution. He's not a great blocker, but might be more consistent than Conner. He's not a dynamic runner, but might be a better short yardage option than anyone on the roster. He might also give them a bit of backfield versatility that could allow them to run certain packages more effectively, including the wildcat. Indications are that he'll also provide a positive attitude and a good understanding of the playbook.
Let's hope he brings something…however long he's here.

Just before Christmas, Megan McArdle posted interesting article the Atlantic blog site (here) explaining why "promising pilot projects often don't scale ". She argues that pilot programs often "don't scale for corporations, and they don't scale for government agencies." She continues that "even when you put super smart people with expert credentials in charge of them" they don't scale. And "even when you make sure to provide ample budget resources," success is not guaranteed.
She then goes on to offer more specific reason as to why "Rolling something out across an existing system is substantially different from even a well run test, and often, it simply doesn't translate."
- Sometimes the "success" of the earlier project was simply a result of random chance, or what researchers call the Hawthorne Effect. The effect is named after a factory outside of Chicago which ran tests to see whether workers were more productive at higher or lower levels of light. When researchers raised the lights, productivity went up. When researchers lowered the lights, productivity also went up. Obviously, it wasn't the light that boosted productivity, but something else–the change from the ordinary, or the mere act of being studied.
- Sometimes the success was due to what you might call a "hidden parameter", something that researchers don't realize is affecting their test. Remember the New Coke debacle? That was not a hasty, ill-thought out decision by managers who didn't care about their brand. They did the largest market research study in history, and repeated it several times, before they made the switch. People invariably told researchers they loved the stuff. And they did, in the taste test. But they didn't love the stuff when it cost them the option of drinking old Coke.
- Sometimes the success was due to the high quality, fully committed staff … and [doesn't work when we are] recruiting from a pool that included folks who were just looking for a job, not a life's mission to … while adding to the sum of human knowledge.
- Sometimes the program becomes unmanageable as it gets larger.
- Sometimes the results are survivor bias. This is an especially big problem with studying health care, and the poor. Health care, because compliance rates are quite low (by one estimate I heard, something like 3/4 of the blood pressure medication prescribed is not being taken 9 months in) and the poor, because their lives are chaotic and they tend to move around a lot, so they may have to drop out, or may not be easy to find and re-enroll if they stop coming. In the end, you've got a study of unusually compliant and stable people (who may be different in all sorts of ways) and oops! that's not what the general population looks like.
So what does this mean for our life in Christ? Continue reading

Swann, Stallworth lead Terrible Towel TwirlPosted by on November 18, 2012 – 8:05 pm
Former Steelers wide receivers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth sent the Heinz Field crowd into a frenzy when they led the Terrible Towel Twirl prior to kickoff of tonight's game against the Ravens.
"I got to recreate the first moment from the AFC Championship game that got it all started," said Swann, who led the Steelers team onto the field for that game in 1975 waving the towel for the first time. "I hope at the end of the day we are celebrating a win. That is the most important thing."
Stallworth, who has been back to Heinz Field often enough to witness the new Terrible Towel Twirl tradition, just wanted to make sure he did it the right way.
"I was excited about doing it," said Stallworth. "I just hoped my arm didn't fall off and held up."

U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller issued a statement late Monday criticizing President Barack Obama for "misleading statements about how a government shutdown might impact VA."
Miller, R-Chumuckla, is chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee.
"The potential effects of a government shutdown are grave enough without President Obama adding fuel to the fire," the statement said.
Miller said Obama's statement Monday that veterans "will find their support centers unstaffed" was not true.
All VA medical facilities and clinics, including Vet Centers, will remain fully operational during the shutdown, the release said.
Miller's statement said the Department of Veterans Affairs has announced its military sexual trauma counseling services, readjustment counseling services and veteran's crisis line will all be unaffected.
Several VA support phone lines also will remain manned, Miller said.
They include the VA National Call Center; Coaching into Care Center; Debt Management Center; Homeless Prevention Line; Mammography Helpline; and the National Caregiver Support Line. Also, the Women Veterans Call Center; Vet Center Combat Call Center; Children of Women Vietnam Veterans; Foreign Medical Program; and the Spina Bifida Health Care Program.
Miller also criticized Obama for hinting that veterans suffering PTSD might not be able to find counseling during the shutdown.
"It's disappointing (Obama) is now resorting to scare tactics and using veterans in a cynical attempt to score political points," the statement said.
The statement said VA's counseling services, the crisis hotline and open medical facilities all can provide counseling for veterans with PTSD.

Philadelphia 76ers (6-11) at Detroit Pistons (6-10), 3:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The surprising 3-0 start for the Philadelphia 76ers seems like ancient history and they will try to find success on the road Sunday against the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Sixers are 3-11 since winning their first three games and have dropped three straight and seven of their previous eight games, including Friday's 121-105 setback to Jrue Holiday and the New Orleans Pelicans. Holiday was traded by the Sixers to New Orleans on draft night and posted 20 points and 13 assists. Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis had 26 and 22 points, respectively.
Tony Wroten led the 76ers with a career-high 24 points off the bench, Evan Turner added 22 points and Thaddeus Young chipped in 15 and 12 rebounds. Spencer Hawes returned to action because of a knee issue and had 12 points and nine rebounds for the Sixers, who shot 45.7 percent and committed 19 turnovers.
The Sixers did not come closer than eight points in the fourth quarter and trailed by as many as 18.
"We're not even 20 games in yet, so you can't really get too up and down emotionally. You just have to find a way to figure it out and keep working," said Turner, who has scored 20-plus points in three of the past four games.
Rookie Michael Carter-Williams had 10 points and 10 assists in the loss.
Philadelphia has struggled on defense this season and has allowed 100-plus points in 15 of its 17 games. The Sixers are also playing poorly on the road and are 0-6 since defeating Washington in the road opener on Nov. 1. They were 11-30 on the road last season and haven't posted a winning road mark since going 23-18 in 2002-03.
Meanwhile, the Pistons have dropped two in a row and four of their last six games. They are coming off Friday's 106-102 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, as Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points and both Greg Monroe and Brandon Jennings ended with 19 apiece. Andre Drummond had 13 and 11 rebounds for Detroit, which shot 44 percent from the field and had a 55-44 rebounding edge.
The Pistons, who started the game with a 16-7 lead, had an 87-77 edge at the end of the third quarter. However, a 15-3 run by the Lakers in the final stanza was the difference.
"At some point we've got to make shots," Pistons head coach Maurice Cheeks said of the struggles toward the end of the game.
Josh Smith had eight points and recorded a season-high 19 rebounds in a losing effort. He is eight games shy of 700 in his career. Detroit scored a season- high 76 points in the paint and lead the NBA in that category (51.1).
Detroit took two of three meetings with Philadelphia last season and is 11-5 in the previous 16 matchups between the teams at The Palace.
After the Pistons host the 76ers they will open a three-game road trip Tuesday against Miami, Milwaukee and Chicago.

The cry from the astounded onlooker rang loud and clear through the quiet streets of Morrison. "Oh my gawd!" came the ecstatic exclamation as Brett Hunter and I rolled his right-hand-drive '57 speedster down the small town's only avenue, having just finished our photo shoot. Tourists exiting the Morrison Caf had a few moments to wonder what unearthly beast might be approaching. The angry burble emanating from the 3.5-inch exhaust shook the windows of the various shops a few blocks away, barely silenced by the Shorty race mufflers that lead to the NASCAR-style side-exit exhaust.
A few days earlier, Brett and, his father, Billy's long, lean Bow-Tied machine turned heads like a nekked lady at the Good Guys' car show, earning best something or other. Seeing a pristine hot rod at a car show is one thing-you go there, expecting to see over the top stuff. On top of that, you become fairly desensitized after seeing hundreds of these cars. But, when you're walking out of a restaurant on a Monday night onto the only avenue of a sleepy little mountain town and a slammed, two-tone, fire-breathing hellion approaches like some sort of rebellious younger sibling of Christine's, it's all you can do to keep from crying out. As if the oversized B.A.D. billet wheels (19x8 fore and 20x12 aft) and squashed stance weren't enough, the 420 Megablower popping out of the hood like some sort of metallic rhinoceros horn is enough to make even the most levelheaded take the Lord's name in vain.
The second comment following the "Oh my gawd!" was, "They're doin' a video!," or something to that effect. Your favorite reporter had been crouched in the back with the tripod in the front in an attempt to get some stellar last minute shots. As Brett and I passed his new fan club, I looked at him and saw the look of pride and satisfaction on his face. Brett has spent plenty of man-hours turning this Chevy from dilapidated post-car to splendid speedster. "This makes it all worthwhile doesn't it?" I asked. He just nodded as we drove through the edge of town, a trail of dust and bewilderment the only thing in our wake.
While the short adventure of our photo shoot ended soon thereafter, the journey to sublime right-handed speedsterdom (and the pages of Super Chevy) started long before. A year and a half ago to be exact, when Brett and his Dad found a clapped out '57 from a man in a little town near theirs and purchased it for $500. "It was in pretty bad shape," said Brett. "Plus the floors were very rusty."
At the time, the Chevy had a running 350 from a '70s pickup in the engine bay. "A few months later we sold the motor back to the guy we bought the car from for $400," Brett said. "So we started out with $100 invested."
As you can tell from the shots, a little more than a hundo would go into this build.
After getting the car home, the first thing the father and son team did was cut that pesky roof off before capping all the window slots with metal, including the back glass. While the majority of the body was true enough, the floor had to go. "We jacked up the car, dropped the frame, and started cutting," said Brett. "We cut from the top of the cowl, down the firewall, down the rockers, and clear to the back by the trunk."
After that, the fellas used 2x4-inch, boxed-tubing to reinforce the frame. After sand blasting that, they welded it together for even more rigidity. When reinstalling the frame, they decided to drop the body by two inches. As you can see from the shots, this allows for a stance like a bum on Bourbon Street-absolutely hammered!
Brett and his dad hand-built the floor with 16- and 18-gauge steel. The parts that would be stressed used the thicker 16-gauge (just in case someone tapped their feet or tried to jump in the car Dukes of Hazzard-style).

We have had some monitors that seemed to work fine for a long time with

often immediately after the display was "hosed" and needed
Frequently, this suddenly happened because we are pushing the monitor to

one older monitor go black and start smoking - a clear violation of
California law on not smoking in public buildings, breeze-ways or within
30 feet of the entrance. ;-)
*Sometimes* if you leave the monitor at 640x480 resolution receiving input
from a system and running for a while with occasional "degauss" resets it
can help it repair the damage, but do not expect it. If it does not
repair itself, or you find the controls on the monitor do not allow you to
control the hourglass shape anymore, then you may need to return the
monitor and ask for a new one if under warantee.
Also, even if the monitor does manage to return to displaying what you
desire, damage may still exist in the unit with a greater risk of
reoccurrence. (Meaning, if it is still under warantee, take it back and get
it replaced even if it does manage to repair itself.)
About 1 in every 75 fairly new monitors I encounter have been like this,
but almost always as a result of bad voltage, bad signal, improper
conductor short or grounding in the video cable, etc. As a consolation, it
happens less often with newer monitors than it did with older ones. :-/

APP OF THE DAY: Tagwhat review (iPhone/Android)
As part of our Augmented Reality week, we'll be filling you in on the best AR apps around. Some are useful, some are interesting and some are just plain silly, but still great fun. Tagwhat is one of the more useful ones and even claims to be "the world's first augmented reality creation and distribution system".
Tagwhat (iPhone, Android)
- Format
- iOS 3.1 or later/Android 1.6+
- Price
- Free
- Where
- iTunes/Android Market
This free app gives you access to a network where you can create location-based messages and tags and add them to your personal map. This "checking in" makes the app a little like Facebook Places or Foursquare with the added advantage of augmented reality. This means that you can use the camera and the GPS to see a realtime shot of where you are, along with any info and tags that have been left by other users.
And, of course, it wouldn't be a proper network nowadays unless it was linked to Facebook and Twitter, so inevitably you'll be able to link your Tagwhat activity to your social networking profiles.
If you're using the app in a busy area - central London for example - then you'll see plenty of tags from other users popping up on the screen. However, if you're using it somewhere slightly more remote then you might find yourself wandering the streets without seeing a single message or tag, apart from the ones that you've written yourself.
In short, if you are living in a thriving metropolis then this is a fun and useful app to have at your fingertips, but if you live in the Outer Hebrides then it might prove to be a waste of time.

Lynne's depression hit out of nowhere the night after her son Jack, was born. She was still in the hospital, after a 32-hour labor without three days of sleep. "Even though I am in a happy marriage, have a successful career, and understand my abilities," says Lynne, "I felt completely overwhelmed and unable to cope."
Lynne was terrified that she'd be unable to give Jack basic care, and had a huge level of anxiety. "At one point, my anxiety was so strong I couldn't stand the physical sensation of Jack nursing," says Lynne.
"I also had an overwhelming sense of grief, which was heightened during the evening hours," explains Lynne. "I had a beautiful, perfect baby who I loved completely, and yet all I felt was sad."Lynne has a long family history of depression and is actively involved in her sibling's treatment, so she knew immediately what was happening. After her symptoms continued for more than two weeks, she sought treatment with a psychiatric nurse practitioner who specializes in post-partum issues and a counselor.
She took an antidepressant and saw her counselor for 18 months, then spent another six months slowing going off the medication.
Within days of taking the medication, she felt calmer and more like herself. "The talk therapy helped me put things in perspective and, ultimately, helped shape who I am as a parent," says Lynne.
"I would not have recovered without the support of my husband," explains Lynne. "He took me to doctor's appointments, he assured me that I would be OK, and he pushed me not to give up on things he knew mattered to me (like breastfeeding). Most important, he told me constantly that he loved me and was proud of me. He also kept a sense of humor for both of us. He helped me see that things like a baby projectile pooping were not a disaster, but in fact pretty hilarious."
Lynne has been completely well for more than two years. "Jack is now two and a half and a constant source of entertainment," says Lynne. Because Lynne got treatment early on and her family supported her, she recovered quickly. "I got to know Jack, and I am able to fully experience the pure joy of being a mom," says Lynne. "I'm so glad I got help and didn't miss all the wonder of watching him grow."

Founder leaves Northern Stage unexpectedlyBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | November 18,2012Provided Photo
Brooke Ciardelli is no longer artistic director of Northern Stage, the $2 million theater she created 16 years ago.The woman who, from scratch, built White River Junctions Northern Stage, one of the Northeasts most successful professional theaters, is suddenly no longer part of it.
The company has recently hired a new executive director, and he will be at the helm of the organization, leading Northern Stage into the next stage of its evolution, Brooke Wetzel Ciardelli said in a surprise announcement Friday.
A joint statement scheduled for release this week states, The Board of Directors and Founding Artistic Director Brooke Ciardelli have agreed that the current production will be her last with the company.
In 1997, Ciardelli, a Burlington native with international theater and film credits, founded Northern Stage with $6,000 she managed to raise in the community. Unusually, Ciardelli combined professional artistic training with a native business acumen.
Over the ensuing years, Ciardelli created more than 100 Equity professional productions at Northern Stage, half of which she directed. Three of her productions won the New England Theatre Conferences Moss Hard Award for Excellence.
At the same time, Ciardelli built the company into a thriving theater with an annual budget of well more than $2 million, remaining in the black most of the time.
The reason for Ciardellis leaving remains unclear and she offered no reason. The company statement continues, This change will allow Ms. Ciardelli to pursue other artistic projects, adding, while Northern Stage, which enjoyed its largest-ever attendance last season, focuses on future goals, including expanding the patron base, developing a more robust education program, and continuing the work on stage that has entertained and enlightened northern New England for a decade and a half.
In September, Russell Maitland, a theater-business professional, became Northern Stages executive director, hired by the board. At that point, Ciardelli was scheduled to direct two productions in 2013, Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest (Feb. 6-24) and Ciardellis own adaptation of Arthur Millers A View from the Bridge (May 1-19). There has been no announcement as to the future of these productions.
Northern Stage is Vermonts largest full-season professional theater company, producing seven full productions annually at the Briggs Opera House. The company also offers myriad educational opportunities for all levels and all ages at a converted downtown car dealership the theater purchased.
Ciardelli said in the joint statement, I will greatly miss working with the extraordinary actors and designers who have come to Northern Stage again and again, attracted by the quality of the art and the tremendous support of the Upper Valley community, as well as the dedicated and talented staff members.
According to Board Chair Stuart Johnsons statement, Brooke will be missed. Although her career and Northern Stages paths will diverge, we will work together in making the transition a smooth one. She not only brought her talent and energy to Northern Stage, but her contacts in the theater community here and abroad allowed Northern Stage to bring a wide range of talent here for the benefit of Upper Valley audiences. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

BONIFAY — The theme from Rocky blared through the Memorial Field speakers on Friday prior to a version of champion versus upstart.
The defending District 3-1A titlist Holmes County embodied the brash Apollo Creed. Visiting Bozeman took the role of the scrappy Rocky Balboa.
The ending here, a 39-20 win for the Blue Devils, mirrored that of Rocky. The champ was the victor, but not without some noticeable bruising.
Bozeman held the lead after one quarter and pulled to within five points in the third, but the veteran Blue Devils responded each time in moving to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the district.
"We bounced back a lot last year and haven't been in that situation yet," Holmes County coach Brad Johnson said. "But we came back and did what we had to do to win."
Bozeman coach Loren Tillman also noted the Bucks (3-1, 0-1) hadn't been in tight games yet this season. Holmes County provided a challenge that kept the Bucks from a statement win.
"The biggest thing to me is we haven't been pushed up to now," Tillman said. "We wondered if we could get by with some things, but Holmes County exposed them and we know what we have to do to get better."
Ty Russ returned a Jacob Martinez interception 32 yards to punctuate the win. It was the second straight interception thrown by Martinez, who was 3 of 12 for 77 yards.
His legs kept Bozeman in the game, however, with a 10-yard run, his third score of the game, narrowing the gap to 25-20 with 5:06 to go in the fourth quarter.
Holmes County replied with a nine-play, 80-yard drive capped by Kodi Russ' second score to open the fourth quarter. Bozeman turned the ball over on downs then tossed two interceptions to seal the outcome.
Bozeman couldn't harness the momentum in the first quarter to hold back Holmes County, despite leading 14-7 on a pair of Martinez scores.
His 58-yarder following a penalty that erased a Javoni Bell TD run tied the game with 3:41 to play in the first quarter. Bozeman recovered a Kodi Russ' fumble on Holmes County's next possession and Martinez, who had 134 yards rushing, scored three plays later from 16.
Bozeman gave the ball back on a muffed punt return that handed the Blue Devils possession at the Bucks' 35. Kodi Russ scored his second touchdown from 9 yards to give Holmes County the lead.
Bozeman went three-and-out on its next possession and Ty Russ hauled in a 61-yard pass from Jacky Miles to cap the first-half scoring. Holmes County moved to the 1 on its last drive, but two penalties kept the Blue Devils from adding to their lead.
Tillman said the inability to do anything with the ball to start the second half also was disheartening.
"It could have been really big if we could have fed off that last stop in the first half," Tillman said. "Their experience was a benefit."
Kodi Russ had 120 yards on 21 carries and Miles passed for 196 while being tended to multiple times for minor injuries.
"It wasn't do or die, but it was a big game," Johnson said. "It wasn't for all the marbles, but we got a lot of marbles out of this one."
Holmes County is at Port St. Joe next week. Bozeman hosts Baker for Homecoming.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 hands-on
Panasonic's DMC-TZ20, or the ZS10 as the Yanks would call it, is Panasonic's latest high-end snapper and we've grabbed the new camera for a quick fumble in the back of a car park, no really.
Okay so the car park happens to belong to Panasonic, but due to this being a prototype, while we were able to play and take photos of the camera we can't show you sample shots, rats.
What we can show you however what it looks like in sparkling silver (it doesn't actually sparkle) or a beautiful bright red that is likely to impress any one who's a fan of fire engines.
What you get is a 14.1-megapixel camera, with a 16x optical zoom, a 3-inch, 460,000-dot touchscreen LCD which lets you zoom, auto focus and playback and Panasonic's new 3D shooting mode, can shoot high-resolution full-HD 1920 x 1080 60i videos in AVCHD and has the Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens.
With geotagging hot on the agenda, the TZ20 also features a built-in GPS function, whilst you can instantly upload your images to Facebook and your videos to YouTube using the Lumix Image Upload.
Overall the camera felt responsive, was well built and certainly packed a punch when it came to that 21x zoom action.
Sorry the pretty lady in the pictures isn't included.

HURLBURT FIELD — Construction on the long-awaited U.S. Highway 98 overpass at the main entrance to the base is set to begin next week.
The $13.9 million project will include two two-lane bridges over Cody Avenue to try to relieve congestion at the intersection, which has been a growing problem for years.
About 57,000 vehicles travel through the intersection each day. About 11,000 of them enter Hurlburt Field's gate, according to state and military officials.
See photos from the construction site. >>
The overpass not only is key for Okaloosa County, but shows the state's commitment to its military installations, said Ian Satter, district spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation, which is overseeing the construction.
"We recognize the benefits that they bring not only to the community they are in, but to the state as a whole," he said. "We want to help facilitate the base's mission while also providing a safer and more efficient transportation system for all of the users of U.S. 98."
The project is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2014.
While officials say traffic should flow more smoothly when the project is complete, there likely will be more delays during construction.
Some measures have been taken to try to lessen the inconvenience, including having any lane closures overnight instead of during the day, Satter said.
Lane closures only will be between 7 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., he said.
"We don't want to do anything during the day that's going to impact people trying to get to work or to home or to school or anywhere else," he said.
Hurlburt Field and state officials also have prepared to open a second gate at Kerwood Road just east of the main gate. It will allow commuters coming to the base from the east to avoid the construction zone completely.
About 500 cars enter Hurlburt from Fort Walton Beach and Destin in the morning, said Dan Wilcoxen, military construction chief for the 1st Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron at Hurlburt. About 270 leave in the afternoon.
"Hopefully, many of those folks will use the Kerwood Gate in the morning and afternoon," he said.
Details of when the gate will be open and the traffic signal activated should be released in the next few weeks, Wilcoxen said.
Commercial and visitor traffic still must use the main gate, which will remain open throughout construction, Wilcoxen said. Eventually, a back gate will be opened to reroute commercial traffic off U.S. 98, which could pull 300 to 400 vehicles a day from the intersection.
Even with those measures, people likely will face the usual delays associated with a construction zone.
"Things do tend to slow down a little bit thorough there because people are trying to negotiate the new construction site and be aware of their surroundings, and we understand this," Satter said. "With this project starting, give yourself a little extra time when you leave to head for your destination."
Utility relocation and preparation of the Kerwood Road gate was completed earlier this month.
The first phase of the overpass work people will notice will be construction of temporary lanes in the median of U.S. 98 to reroute traffic as needed, Satter said.
Wilcoxen said he is looking forward to the project getting started and the benefits it will bring to the base and U.S. 98 travelers.
"So far, the FDOT staff and contractor team have been great to work with, and I think the overall project will be a success," he said.
