FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons had two interceptions against the Giants to give them 18 for the season, which ranks fourth in the league. Only Chicago (21), Giants (20) and Arizona (22) have more interceptions.
The Falcons are also plus-9 in takeaways, which is eighth in the league before Monday's night game between the New York Jets and Tennessee.
To go with their 18 interceptions, the Falcons have nine fumble recoveries for 27 turnovers. The offense has 14 interceptions and four fumbles for 18 turnovers.
The defense has recorded six games with two interceptions are more. They are 6-0 in those contests.
Players credit the ability to disguise their coverages as the key to interceptions.
"If we can confuse a quarterback and make him throw it somewhere where he wasn't expecting to throw it, or after play-fake, look back and see a completely different coverage, it helps us out exponentially," said safety Thomas DeCoud, who leads the team with six interceptions. "It's (paid) dividends and helped our ability to get the ball back this year."
Utility infielder Franks: When safety Chris Hope, who was filling for William Moore, went down with a head injury Sunday, the Falcons used cornerback Dominique Franks at safety.
"Dominique is like our utility infielder, to use a baseball term," Smith said. "He's a guy that can play corner, nickel and safety for us."
Rookie safety Charles Mitchell also saw some action in the dime package when the Giants went to a four-receiver formation.
Moore's return from a rib injury will depend on how well he performs in a workout with the trainers on Tuesday.
Etc.: Tackle Lamar Holmes, the Falcons third-round draft choice (Southern Miss), made his NFL debut against the Giants. He played seven plays. … Backup center/guard Joe Hawley has served his four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy and will return to the team on Tuesday, Smith said. The team has not announced who it will release to open up a roster spot for Hawley's return. Guard Harland Gunn was signed to take Hawley's spot on Nov. 20. He has been inactive for the last four games. … Falcons running backs caught six passes for 48 yards. … Hope's hard tackle on Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks will attract league review and may lead to a fine. He was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play.

Oh Happy Days..Smashmouth Falcons football and a SIGNATURE WIN !!!
Tough can't be taught but it sure makes a great memory.in the mind of an opponent.
Detroit is next and the swing pass, slant and drag pass across the middle are used when Stafford gets hurried.
He doessn't like to get hit and will throw to avoid ANY contact.
You proved me wrong about your abilities to beat a quality team "between the lines".
Kudos to all..take a day off..

Disguised coverages have sure helped but this defensive secondary is constantly looking at the QB rather than chasing receivers around with their back to the QB. Asante Samual is a master of keeping his eye on the QB while sticking to receivers. They all do it now and it is making a big difference. GO FALCONS! YOU ARE RISING UP!

Congradulations to the Falcons. I am really impressed with how as a team they focus on one game at a time and seem to be even keel win or lose.
The Falcons showed what they are capable of and I hope this carries over in the up-coming games.
Great game if you are an Atlanta Fan!

Great defensive scheme by a great coordinator, props to coach Nolan and to the Falcon D for great execution. DOL, you initially reported William Moore had a hamstring injury and not a rib injury. Also Hope's helmet hit was on Cruz, not Nicks.

I see bad news travels fast,and after yesterday's game. What a bad break, no pun intended.

They should NOT let Franks be a punt returner! The guy looks scared and he is so slow. It feels as if he is one of those punt returners that will fumble in crucial situations so I hope he doesn't return punts in the playoffs.
December 17th, 2012
9:06 pm
Finchdawg, what are you smoking or drinking tonight. I just checked TSN and did a google search on Ryan and did not find a report of an injury.
Of course the Falcons wouldn't relase it until Tuesday if he did…… Probably as a rib injury.
December 17th, 2012

Only thing Matt Ryan is breaking is ' Team Records ', and he will be breaking some more as this Season moves along…………………………….stick that in your crack pipe and smoke on it awhile, you may discover a new kind of high………………………….hehehehe

You can call it "disguised" coverages…..you can call it "confusing" the quarterback…..you can call it anything you want! One things for sure: This is the very BEST secondary in Falcon history! In previous seasons, when the defensive huddle broke, it was evident that only ONE of the secondary guys knew where he was suppose to be when the ball was snapped! NOW, it seems like all FOUR of the secondary guys knows EXACTLY where they are suppose to be and what coverage they are in! You look around the NFL and what you mostly see in the secondary is BUFFOONERY! Just a bunch of clowns running around like a chicken with their heads cut off! Our secondary is a thing of beauty! And the strangest thing has been when one of them goes out with an injury, the guy coming is as good or even BETTER than the guy he just replaced! The Falcon secondary? A thing of beauty!!!

goodness, doesn't ANYONE proofread these blogs before they're published?? hamstring, not ribs. cruz, not nicks. come on, man. is it too much to ask the local scribe to also RISE UP? the falcons clearly have.

Don't think there'll be too much attention against Hope. Looked on replay like a shot to the shoulder, not the head. Admittedly high, but not targeting. The helmets banged as a reaction (by both) to the shoulder hits. Moderately incidental, though still dangerous. Obviously stung both, but didn't appear intentionally vicious. Minor fine? Agreed with the flag, but it looked worse live than it did on replay. Don't like defenders leaving their feet to deliver hits, unless jumping sideways.

D-led the hit that will cost Hope money will be the one where he laid the wood to Taio Cruz….It was a dumb hit…and cost the team a 3 and out.
Also, what did you think of the 1 touch the finally gave to A. Smith this game?
December 18th, 2012
11:27 am
A. Smith looks like Franks returning punts…No more touches for Antoine Smith. Please let HD return punts…because Franks scares me with his ball handling skills. Micheal Turner is getting better running the ball late in the season…maybe a fresh Turner is better later in the season. Go Falcons….
December 18th, 2012
12:28 pm
The most impressive play to me Sunday was the WHOLE secondary covering whomever they were suppose to cover EVERYTIME they were suppose to cover them…..and not leaving any receivers WIDEOPEN on ANY pass plays or even dump offs to the running backs! A+ for the secondary!
December 18th, 2012

Our secondary will be tested vs Calvin Johnson this weekend. Clinching home field will not be easy, we'll be on the road vs a team with nothing to lose. Fairley and Suh will be gunning for Matt. GO FALCONS

On the replay, they did show that Samuel broke his zone coverage to make a break on the ball. He knew where the ball was going, he knew that he could get to it, he knew he could catch it(after exactly six bobbles), and that the Falcons D could dominate the game. Thank you Nolan, best Falcons defense since the days of the gritzblitz.

I am so tired of the disrespect by ESPN the Falcons blew the Giants out 34-0 and they have them ranked at number 4 in powerpolls? How the hXXX
they even have the Broncos ranked ahead of us and we beat them. Can you say media BIAS!!!!

The Samuel interception was a critical play in the game, but did you see how close dumb Akeem Dent came to knocking it out of his hands? He had no business being near that play…but Dent is usually out of position.
December 18th, 2012
3:52 pm
"Our secondary will be tested vs Calvin Johnson this weekend. Clinching home field will not be easy, we'll be on the road vs a team with nothing to lose."
….I think the Lions have mailed in the season. They can't make the playoffs and would rather be golfing now that Winter has set in! If we don't lay a Carolina Panther egg…..we should win this game and then have two weeks off to heal our aches and pains…..or is it 3 weeks? No need to worry about beating the Bucs…..and then a bye week….so yeah, it is three weeks off!!! As long as we don't lose our edge, stay in the film room, don't go out to strip clubs, pick up DUI's, etc…..we should be in good shape for the playoffs!

….if the game means nothing…and it won't it we beat Detroit on Saturday night, you can bet your bottom dollar 2 things will happen: 1) we will be resting almost ALL of our starters for 3 quarters or more. 2) we will probably lose the game and it won't mean a dag gone thing! Healthy, refreshed football players tend to make better decisions, play with more energy and should perform better than the banged up, achy type!

So proud of the Falcons but I do wish we had a little more threat at P returner
December 19th, 2012

@ Nick…You get the award for the biggest understatement of the day! Can't figure out why Franks is still running back punts. And I use the term "running back punts" very loosely. I read earlier today someone saying Franks routine is two steps right, two steps left then fall down. Not trying to be mean, but that's about it! We don't have a punt return game. Whether the blame is on Franks or one the blocking schemes, I just don't know. They never show a wide angle view of the field on punts. I'm sure the CS has access to that, so maybe they know it's not Franks' fault. If it's not on Franks, they need to darn well fix it in the blocking schemes.Gets real old knowing that a punt return is at the very best only going for 28 yards. (Best I can determine that's Franks longest)
Go Falcons!

Dominique Franks needs to go! He is so sorry….
Just let Harry Douglas return punts

Hamilton County
Both of these lakes are Fish Management Areas (license is required to fish). Both are green and fertile and deeper than average north Florida lakes, but typically grow more fish per acre due to abundant forage.
Eagle Lake (200 acres) is old and very fertile. Steep sides, a maze of narrow cuts with points and sand bars and cattails in the coves characterize the lake. No concrete boat ramps exist. Largemouth bass fishing is best in spring; bluegill, redear sunfish and brown bullhead catfish are best in the summer; black crappie and stocked sunshine bass are best in fall and winter. Eagle Lake produces the fastest sunshine bass growth in this region. Fish up to 8 pounds have been reported at only 23 months of age. Trolling motors only may be operated on Eagle Lake, although gasoline motors may be attached to the boat.
The duckweed and submerged coontail weeds are making fishing here difficult. Once you are clear of the coves or pockets with 100 percent duckweed open water should be productive. Use this time and condition to cast weedless frogs or other similarly fished baits. Stay clear of bullet weights or swivels because they will likely snag vegetation and complicate retrieves. Getting to the second boat ramp is difficult with the condition of the road, especially after a rain event. The lake looks fishy but, because of the conditions many fair weather anglers will pass this one by.
Lang Lake Fish Management Area (86 acres) is a reclaimed pit, meaning all the islands and shoreline have been graded to create gradual slopes with deep water only in the center of cuts. The vegetated shelf thus created is a fertile fish factory with cypress trees, cattails and hydrilla out to about eight feet, dropping like a wall to 20 feet. An 18 inch minimum size provides quality largemouth bass fishing. Large bluegill are caught mostly in late spring through fall. Trolling motors only are allowed although gasoline motors may still be attached to the boat. A minimum size of 10 inches has been established for black crappie.
ANGLERS NOTE: PCS has moved the entrance road to Lang Lake to Rt. 41 north of Genoa. New brochures are available from the Lake City office.Please note special quality regulations are in effect on Lang Lake: largemouth bass - minimum size 18 inches; black crappie - minimum size 10 inches. Note: The daily bag limits for bass - only one over 22 inches; crappie - 25 fish per day and panfish - 20 fish per day remain unchanged.
Local contact: Powell's Bait & Tackle, White Springs 386-397-2500
Currently submerged vegetation and road access is similar to Eagle Lake. We should all call and complain. Smaller largemouth bass seem to be the majority of what is being reported. However, larger bass ranging from 18 inches to seven pounds have been reported recently. All on weedless rigged rubber worms, dark in color. Early morning and late evening are more comfortable to fish in, but bass were still biting as late as mid morning. Live shiners would be the ticket for anytime action on bass. From the boat ramp and around the bend to the left seems less vegetated. Also the emergent vegetation is better balanced in this lobe. The small island here has steep slopes and shade in the morning. Seek out panfish close to the grass bars in this section. Crickets or grass shrimp fished or dipped without a bobber would be a better bet, try a lighter tippet for more natural presentation.
FWC Facts:White and brown shrimp depend on estuaries as nursery habitats, leaving when they reach 4-5 inches in length. This "shrimp run" occurs in late summer or early fall.

Public viewing sessions at the Keeble Observatory are normally held weekly (as weather
and viewing conditions allow) during the academic year. Watch this site for the
resumption of public sessions in September. For details, call the Keeble Information
line (804-752-3210) or contact Prof. George Spagna
The Keeble Observatory is a teaching laboratory of the Physics Department of Randolph-Macon
College in Ashland, Virginia. Its facilities are used by students in the College's
astronomy courses and by advanced physics students with an interest in astronomy.
The Observatory is a cornerstone instrument in the College's minor program in astrophysics.
The Observatory is also used for student and faculty research projects. It is located
on the College campus, which is approximately 15 miles north of Richmond, Virginia.
The dome houses a 12" Cassegrain reflector. Supporting laboratories of the Physics
Department, located in the adjacent Copley Science Center, provide a darkroom and
a number of computers. Dedicated equipment for the Observatory includes CCD cameras,
several portable telescopes, a photoelectric photometer with laptop computers for
control and data acquisition, and a grating spectrograph.
Construction of the Observatory building was initiated to house a 12 inch Newtonian
telescope built and donated in 1960 by Foy N. Hibbard, a former director of the
United States Weather Bureau in Richmond, Virginia. The dome was completed and the
Hibbard telescope was first used in 1963. The present Cassegrain telescope was purchased
from Tinsley Laboratories with funding assistance from the National Science Foundation
in 1966. In 1988 the telescope drive was completely replaced during renovations,
which also included raising the telescope's pier and rebuilding the observing platform.
Adjacent to the Observatory is the 3-meter dish of the "Center
of the Universe Radio Telescope (CURT1)." This instrument is under ongoing
testing, with "first light" achieved in summer 2001. On the roof of the Copley Science
Center is the dipole array for our second radio telescope, dubbed
CURT2. These telescopes are available for student research.

|Not me, not my hives
The first year I kept honey bees I was stung 161 times one morning, mostly on the hands, wrists and lower legs. I know there were at least that many stings because it's when I stopped counting.
Aside from demonic itching and some moderate swelling, everything turned out OK. My first sting that summer had left one hand red-blue and the size of a softball, while the arm also "swole up" pretty bad. But I'm quite certain it left me with a higher tolerance for the venom, sort of an inoculation that helped when I was the centerpiece of that sting-fest a couple of weeks later.
I'd like to say it was because of a beginner's mistake, but the fact is I did something I knew would very likely upset my bees. It was August-hot, overcast and threatening rain. I was worried about my queen bee for reasons I don't remember, and gave in to fears that the problem was urgent.
|Also not me
But nothing is urgent enough to open and inspect a beehive on such a day. The bees are already stressed by the crummy weather, wary of any disturbance.
In more clement or, ideally, clear and sunny weather, a few light puffs from a hive smoker sends the bees inside where they start filling their honey stomachs in case a hasty relocation is required. The smoke generally distracts the colony enough so they pay you little mind while you gently and methodically work in the hive. Also, working the hive around midday means much of the colony is out foraging for nectar and pollen, leaving things less crowded inside. On an ugly day, however, all the bees are packed into the hive and smoke just cranks up the communal angst.
This is beekeeping 101, I knew it, and went ahead anyway, prying the outer and inner covers off my hive and poking around looking for the queen. I didn't notice that hundreds of my bees were lining up and peeking their heads out from between the frames where they store brood, pollen, and honey in wax combs. That's a sign they're getting cheesed and looking you over. Normally, a little puff of smoke will send them back down inside. But on this ugly day, they'd had enough.
|Cyclonic snit (a re-enactment)
As though I'd just flipped the switch on a buzz saw, an angry roar engulfed me. Then 10,000 or more bees did the same thing.
To properly set the scene for what followed, I should say the hive was at the rear of my dad's deep backyard in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Neighboring houses hugged the property lines. I was dressed in a used, stained beekeeping suit with attached veil to protect my face, head and neck. It was a little snug, but comfortable – at first.
But I didn't wear gloves, having read that many veteran beekeepers work without them because they want to feel whether any bees are trapped or worse, crushed, under their fingers while they work the hive. Crushed bees send a warning signal to the others that harm has been done. They tend to react badly. So I figured, what the heck, bare handing sounds like a reasonable thing to do. Even more reasonable would have been checking closely to see that the cuffs at my wrists and ankles were closed tightly enough to block any angry intruders.
Nerves and the heat of the day quickly soaked the suit with sweat. This would soon prove to be a genuine problem. There were sounds of not-so-distant thunder. Then my normally docile and cooperative colony roared and attacked.
A bee sting is not all that painful. If you keep bees, the occasional sting or two is just part of the deal. Gently scrape the stinger out and continue with your work. Scraping rather than pinching and plucking is important. When a honeybee stings, it's a kamikaze act. The barbed stinger anchors in your skin while the attached venom sac pumps in the bee's only defense. Once it has driven home the lance, the bee pulls away, ripping off the stinger and gutting itself. Look closely and you'll often see the venom sac still pumping. If you pinch it to pull out the stinger, you squeeze more venom into the wound. So it's best to scrape with a fingernail, a knife blade, the edge of a credit card, or some similarly sturdy object.
Multiply the mild pain of a single sting by dozens or scores or hundreds, and agony seems like a fair description. Within seconds after the buzz saw started, I felt a furious vibration on my ankles, in my shoes (I now wear only high-top rubber boots when working with bees), on my hands and wrists, moving up inside my sleeves.
Look closely when a bee prepares to sting and you'll see her curl her abdomen close to the rest of her body, barb pointing down, while she vibrates furiously and pushes her stinger home.
|Back to work
I'm rather proud of having maintained my composure while reassembling the hive and being simultaneously stung by many dozens of bees. I still maintained my composure while walking from the scene of the mayhem toward the house. But an enveloping cloud of incensed honey bees stayed right with me, and I trotted, then ran like hell between the houses and out to the front.
The angry cloud thinned, but my hands were still covered with assailants, and more were working their way up my sleeves and pant legs. Trying to peel off my sweat-drenched bee suit proved to be nearly impossible. Within seconds I threw myself down on the front lawn next door, rolling, thrashing, cussing blue, and defeated. I lay still until the vibration stopped, its multiple causes dead.
As I sat up, I noticed faces peering out through windows in several homes. No one came out. No one offered help. If I had been in their place, I'm not sure what I would have done while watching a grown man, dressed in what must have looked like a hazmat suit, whirling, leaping, and doing St. Vitus' dance before collapsing. Maybe hose down the poor, dumb bastard. It might have helped.
Itching, but not scratching, I stood and gingerly peeled off the bee suit.
Then I went inside, looking for a credit card.

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ Review
I like that it is loaded with options. Back up camera being my favorite.
It is low to the ground for a 4x4 truck.
Reliable And Comfterbale To Drive — The acceleration is ok, though it feel like it could use a little more off the line throttle response. The break peddle is a little stiff but it has good stopping power. Handles great at highway speeds even is light snow or heavy rain. This is by far may favorite vehicle that I have owned so far.

Good All Around Truck With Some Room For Small Improvments Which Have Been Made On Newer Models. — Love the truck the only reason I give performance 4 stars is because of the lack of stopping power. It handles great off road, and is smooth on the highway. It's an awesome truck to drive, but a little heavy on gas.

Great ride, lots of room, lots of bells and whistles, nearly no mechanical issues, and very comfortable.
Gas mileage is poor, tires are expensive.
Very Satisfied — The avalanche was a very versatile truck that drove in all weather and got me through even the toughest of New England winters. It had lots of room, heated windshield wiper fluid, heated seats, comfortable, and looks great. Wouldn't want another truck other than this one.

Making payments on a truck that I can't drive and isn't even worth fixing.
This Truck Is Not Worth It. — This truck is not worth buying! My husband bought one 6 months ago with only 70,000 miles on it. At first it seemed like a great truck until the traction control light went off saying that it needed serviced we thought no big deal we'll take it to the shop. We took it in and was told that it is a bigger problem than just the traction control, however nobody seemed to know what it was. The truck began not wanting to shift into second gear, was running rough and burning through oil and gas. My husband contacted GM and explained the situation at first they seemed willing to help and even gave him a free diagnostic which revealed next to nothing, we were told that it "may be" the lifters and that would be 3800 to fix, umm sorry but we are not rich and are not paying 3800 for a "may be". The truck has been parked as it is unsafe to drive without traction control let alone all the smoke that is coming out of it, funny thing is that our neighbor has the same exact truck with the same exact problems and as we were researching we found that lots of other GM products built during this year with the same engine are also having the same exact problems. My husband contacted GM again questioning why so many of their products are having this issue of course after numerous phone calls back and forth there was still no answer as to why, and they are very sorry blah blah blah. They are going back and forth saying that we never took it to get diagnosed then when my husband told them he has the paperwork the backtracked yet again still without any solutions. They are not willing to stand behind their products nor are they willing to help their customers. They know that they messed up and are not willing to do a mass recall as they of course don't want to lose business. Do yourself a favor and research this truck or any other GM product built from 2007-2013 with the 5.3 engine before you think about buying it. Google 2007 Chevy traction control and tons of GM/Chevy products built during this year have the same exact problem. Again GM/Chevy will not stand behind their product as we have tried to no avail. Do yourself a favor and get a Ford as they are built Ford Tough and Chey's are more like Sand than like a Rock. In the meantime I'm posting this review on as many sites as I can find.

HAMMOND | Manufacturers can pay factory workers pennies a day in Vietnam, China and other countries, and U.S. companies have often found it tough to compete with such rock-bottom labor costs.
A Hammond-based automation company wants to help make local plants more competitive and bring more manufacturing back to the United States, by equipping factories with robots that slim expenses and fatten productivity.
Tri-State Automation has been developing fully automated systems for steel fabricators and other manufacturers that are doing business in an increasingly globalized world where many companies have opted to ship production to distant shores. The Hammond firm can build robots that can weld pipe guides or utility trailers three times faster than any would-be John Henry with a oxy-fuel torch.
The idea is to ensure local factories can remain cost-competitive and stay in the United States, said Tim Keller, operations manager.
"Robots break down, but they don't require sick days," he said. "They don't go on vacation. They don't need benefits. They keep overhead costs down."
Automation has had an increasing presence in local factories over the years. Robots move pallets of car seats into, around and out of the warehouse at Lear Corp.'s Hammond facility. Machines paint, weld and install windshields on vehicles at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant in Hegewisch.
The efficiencies keep production from being outsourced to other countries, Tim Keller said. Automation can preserve jobs, and workers who are no longer welding often are retrained for new roles, such as programming or troubleshooting the robots, he said.
Tri-State Automation showed off a few examples of its industrial robotic technology at a Tuesday open house, which featured a blackjack-dealing robot that used suction cup-tipped arms to lift up and slap down the cards.
The Hammond-based company is a division of Tri-State Industries, which first started using robotic welders for its steel fabrication work about more than a decade ago. The machines can weld a set of pipe guides in about six minutes, when that work would take 20 minutes if done by a person, employee Bernie Barnes said.
The robots weld seams on the guides that clamp down steam pipes in the boiler rooms of Tri-State's clients, including Abbott Laboratories. The seams are always perfect, Barnes said.
Tri-State chief executive officer Don Keller, who founded the business about 30 years ago, realized other manufacturers would have to turn to robotics to stay competitive.
His company, which employs 65 workers and has locations in Northwest Indiana and Louisiana, bought an Elkhart-based robotics company and invested about $1 million into a new robotic integration division. The new venture was launched about a year and a half ago.
Tri-State Automation offers manufacturers tailor-made turnkey robotic systems, which means the company goes into a factory, figures out how and where to automate the production process and designs the robots to do it. Tri-State will install the robots on-site, train the company's employees how to operate them, and dispatch technicians if any repairs or maintenance are needed in the future.
"It's soup to nuts," Tim Keller said. "We build everything. We purchase the robot and build the entire platform so that once it's installed, you're rocking and rolling."
Demand was greater than the company expected. Immediately, the new venture brought in between $750,000 to $1 million more in revenue, Tim Keller said.
The company aims to serve smaller manufacturers that rope in $25 million to $100 million per year. The target market is the greater Chicago area and, in some cases, nearby states.
Tri-State Automation is currently working on four big jobs, including one for a dolly manufacturer and another for a patio furniture maker in Syracuse, Ind.
"(The furniture manufacturer) had to get his labor costs down and the only way to do that was to automate his welding process," Don Keller said. "We're refurbishing older machines to help make smaller companies competitive again. We want to help lead the re-shoring movement that you're seeing in manufacturing today."

From the time denim hit the market as functional, industrial uniforms to the moment skinny jeans became a staple in every woman's closet, denim has always been a must-have. No closet is complete without a pair of worn-in, comfy boyfriend jeans — nor a pair of fierce dark wash jeans for days when you want to turn heads and take numbers. But it's the celebrity denim culture that also fuels our love of amazing jeans. Seeing women like Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Kate Upton rocking our favorite brands in new and exciting (and sometimes totally off-duty) ways keeps us craving denim in our wardrobes. Harpers Bazaar takes a look at some of the ultimate jean queens of our current culture.

No time to fuss over what you're going to wear today? Try this super easy (and very chic) combination that's perfect for fall. It's the fail-proof denim x knit top x jacket equation, and it always = awesome.
Start with your favorite pair of jeans (we love a relaxed fit, perhaps with a bit of distressing, but skinny works too). For fall, we'll start out with dark wash jeans. Add a scoop neck knit top, tucked in either fully with a belt or just half-tucked in the front. Over this, throw a soft tailored blazer and cuff the sleeves. Add some chic flats, and you're out the door!

Mark Rylance has moved from the winter of his discontent to the spring of his recognition.
The two-time Tony Award winner made history April 29 when he became the first male actor to receive two Tony nominations for acting in the same season.
Rylance was nominated for both Best Actor and Best Featured Actor, for his performances in the Shakespeare's Globe productions of Richard III and Twelfth Night, respectively, which were performed in repertory by an all-male cast wearing traditional Elizabethan costumes.
Rylance joins the ranks of same-season nominees Amanda Plummer, who was nominated for Best Actress in a Play for A Taste of Honey and Best Featured Actress in a Play for Agnes of God; Dana Ivey, who was nominated as Best Featured Actress in a Play for Heartbreak House and Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Sunday in the Park with George; Kate Burton, who was nominated for Best Actress in a Play for Hedda Gabler and Best Featured Actress in a Play in The Elephant Man; and Jan Maxwell, for Best Actress in a Play in The Royal Family and Best Featured Actress in a Play in Lend Me a Tenor.
Rylance, who is currently filming the British costume drama "Wolf Hall," in which he plays Thomas Cromwell, was notified of his nominations during his lunch break, when his wife called to tell him.
"I was delighted. I was just delighted, particularly by the nomination for Tim Carroll, who's just my favorite Shakespeare director, and for my fellow actors, four of whom have been nominated," he said. "But, of course, if the thing's nominated for Best Revival, I hope all the actors take pride in that because I think it's a collective ensemble achievement."
When asked about his historical recognition, Rylance said he was overwhelmed, adding, "My experience of being an actor in New York City is one of meeting the most generous folk. Whether it's people on the street who stop you and appreciate what they've seen or people standing at the door afterward... The producers are always very generous — really generous. The stage doormen and the crew at the Belasco and the Music Box and the Longacre have become lifelong friends of mine and have been so supportive and encouraging."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSAU) -- One of Wisconsin's Congressmen is not happy with how the Obamacare website collects personal information. 7th District Congressman Sean Duffy says the way healthcare.gov works is not what President Obama promised, because it forces users to give the government all of their personal information before accessing or selecting any of the insurance products. "Before Americans can shop for products on healthcare.gov, they have to put in all of their information, their address, their date of birth, their Social Security into a website that isn't secure."
Duffy has introduced legislation called the Browse Act, which he says will make healthcare.gov collect information more like other websites. "I'm introducing the Browse Act to make sure that Americans have an opportunity to search the website, look at products, and only if they find a product that they like, only then do they have to put in their personal information."
Congressman Duffy spoke briefly Friday on the House floor in support of his new bill. He believes insurance shoppers should not have to enter personal data before seeing the available coverage options.

This is NOT what Democrats stand for!
(cross-posted from The Courant and Wait, What?)
Although still on a "self-assigned" break from writing while I contemplate life and deal with some things, I felt strongly that the issue of the longevity bonuses needed to be discussed.
Today's Hartford Courant carries a commentary piece that I wrote concerning the fact that 3,100 political appointees and non-unionized state mangers will be getting significant longevity bonuses this week while 30,000 unionized rank and file state employees will go without as a result of their acceptance of the Malloy/SEBAC Agreement.
The decision by Governor Malloy and the Democratic Legislature to reward and protect the state's elite managers and appointees while, at the same time, taking away from most state employees is a stunning example of how off track our political leadership has become.
Since Dan Malloy became Governor we've seen public debates about whether the wealthiest in Connecticut should or shouldn't be asked to pay their fair share in taxes, whether it was or was not appropriate to make the deepest budget cuts in our state's history to our public colleges and universities and whether we should inhumanly eliminate heating assistance for tens of thousands of our fellow citizens because the federal government's reckless and mean-spirited decision to reduce their support for heating assistance programs.
In my opinion, our Democratic elected officials failed to take the appropriate position in each of these cases, but at least there was an open and honest public debate prior to their action.
Now, as the economy shows no sign of recovery and these lucky few cash their second major longevity check of the year, it is particularly offensive that no such public discussion took place prior to the decision to grant longevity payments to those high end state employees.
The mystery only grows deeper when it becomes clear that most legislators may not have even understood what they were voting on when they passed that budget and SEBAC implementation bill into law in the early hours of July 1, 2011.
The Governor has repeatedly said he wanted the legislature to take action to stop or end longevity payments and yet the language to do exactly that was quietly switched and removed that night and replaced with language that undid the long standing tradition of treating union and non-union state employees alike when it comes to longevity bonuses.
This action leaves us wondering which Democrat officials were driven by unbelievable arrogance and which simply displayed astonishing ignorance.
The tens of thousands who worked so hard to elect Democrats in 2010, not to mention the 30,000 unionized state employees who lives have been impacted by this government maneuver deserve to know the truth.
Please take a moment to read my Courant commentary piece and join me in demanding that our elected officials come clean on this injustice.
See Courant piece below or at http://www.courant.com/news/opinion/hc-op-pelto-bonus-1016-20111016,0,3046723.story
Mystery Surrounds $6 Million Bonus Payments
By Jonathan Pelto, The Hartford
Courant, October 16, 2011
This month about 3,100 political appointees and state managers are getting longevity bonuses even though 30,000 rank and file unionized employees will not get theirs. This glaring inequity is the result of some deft behind the scenes maneuvering that changed the language in the bill approving the state's budget.
So, the question remains: Who was behind the decision to change the law so that managers and political appointees get another round of longevity bonuses (extra payments given to employees with more than 10 years of service, regardless of their performance) while thousands of other employees forgo it in the name of austerity?
As has been the case in the past, the initial budget adopted by the Connecticut General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last June included specific language that required that the provisions of any concession package between the state and its employee unions also apply to the state's non-unionized workers.
Three weeks later, however, during the July special session, the Democratically controlled legislature voted for a provision that removed the language about equal treatment for non-unionized state employees.
Instead, new wording was inserted in the measure that will provide these state mangers and political appointees with about $6 million dollars in longevity bonuses this month. Some of the most senior employees will get a bonus in excess of $6,500 while the average recipient will get just over $2,080.
With all the attention that was focused on cutting and balancing the state's budget this year, it's astonishing that seemingly no one in the legislature or the governor's office was aware of a language change.
Further, how is it they apparently are unable to say who rewrote the bill they spent months creating. Connecticut media outlets are reporting that legislative leaders, as well as rank and file legislators, claim that they did not know that the legislation they adopted made this extraordinary change.
For example when State Sen. Edith Prague, D-Columbia, learned that the bill whe had voted for would grant non-unionized workers longevity payments, she reportedly said, "Oh my God, it's outrageous." Prague is one of labor's strongest advocates and co-chairwoman of the Labor and Public Employees Committee.
Meanwhile, a grievance was filed earlier this month by union members who accepted a two-year freeze on longevity payments with what they thought was the understanding that managers would take equivalent cuts under Gov. Malloy's budget. The unions maintain that the managers should also forgo their bonuses. Although it is curious that the unions failed to voice any opposition to the legislative change when it was proposed, adopted and signed into law. Regardless, members of the state police and the prison supervisors unions, both of which rejected the wage and benefits deal offered by Gov. Malloy, will get full longevity payments.
All this deepens the question as to why Democratic Gov. Malloy — the self described champion of "shared sacrifice" — would sign into law a provision that withholds longevity payments from most rank and file state employees while giving them to the state's elite employees remains a mystery.
Although Democratic leaders remain mum about the rationale behind their decision, what is clear is that some of the individuals most closely associated with this policy change will personally benefit.
Three members of Gov. Malloy's personal staff will now be receiving longevity bonuses including Michael Christ one of his two top legislative liaisons, who once served as a member and leader in the House of Representatives.
Two of the top five officials in Malloy's Office of Policy and Management will also be getting these bonuses including Mark Ojakian the deputy secretary, who served as the governor's chief negotiator during the recent union concession discussions.
Kevin Graff, Senate President Donald William's chief of staff, and Laura Jordan, Speaker of the House Chris Donovan's top legal advisor, will also be getting the bonuses.
Even one of the state's two legislative commissioners, William Hamzy, the former Republican state legislator will now be getting a longevity bonus thanks to this latest change.
Faced with the major tax increases and record spending cuts made in the name of balancing the budget, the public deserves an answer to the question: Who was really orchestrating this behind the scenes effort to provide bonuses to this politically important group of state employees?

You will keep the same shift from week to week.
We ask new volunteers to commit to volunteering once a week until you become settled in your role. If after a period of time you want to increase your volunteer hours you can discuss with your coordinator to learn about any opportunities.
Please visit our website periodically to learn about new opportunities.

At home, but still at warNovember 14,2013It was Veterans Day, far from the parades, and Michael Schoenbaum was standing on the stage of the library in Dorchester that honors a war hero and president named Jack Kennedy, explaining something that all Americans need to hear.
Schoenbaum works at the National Institute of Mental Health and has compiled the definitive study on why soldiers are killing themselves at alarming rates. Last year, more American soldiers died by their own hand than by the enemys.
Almost every day, he said, combat veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are killing themselves. Between 2004 and 2008, the suicide rate among active service soldiers doubled.
The problem has not improved, Schoenbaum said. If anything, its getting worse.
Sitting in the audience, Tom TJ Brennan could only nod in rueful recognition. His service dog, Luke, sat at his feet.
I worry about this, he said. I worry about my Marines.
TJ Brennan grew up in Randolph and joined the Marines when he was 17. By the time the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were raging, he was ready to lead. He was a squad leader, but experience cant avoid rocket-propelled grenades and the one that landed next to him in Afghanistan knocked him out.
He realized he had a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress long after his visible wounds healed. He told his Marines first, and they hugged him because theyre Marines. He told his commanders next and they said all the right things to his face and talked about him behind his back.
I wasnt as upset about what they said about me compared to what message that sent to the junior Marines, who were just preparing for combat, TJ Brennan said. The command was basically telling them, if you need help, youre weak.
Last December, two years after a general pinned a Purple Heart on him in Afghanistan, TJ Brennan retired after nearly 10 years a Marine, and he entered a dark place.
I felt completely worthless, he said. My identity was being a Marine. Now it was gone.
He wanted to be gone. He swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. Then he lay down and waited to die. As he waited, he imagined his daughter living with the shame of a father who killed himself. And then TJ Brennan ran to the bathroom and the same fingers he had used to kill the enemy he used to save himself. His trigger finger went down his throat and he threw up.
His journey through the mental health care system, as porous for our vets as it is for everybody else, was worse than combat.
We can do better for our vets, he said. Weve got to do better for our vets.
The day before TJ Brennan was sitting at the Veterans Day forum at the Kennedy Library organized by Home Base, the program established by the Red Sox and Massachusetts General Hospital to treat the invisible wounds of war, he was standing with me on I Street in South Boston. The Quencher, an old neighborhood pub in Southie, is closing and held a block party. I knew it would be the biggest gathering of Marines since Fallujah. Besides, it was the Marine Corps birthday.
I figured TJ would get a kick out of meeting all the old Marines, including the Quencher owners, Dodo Nee and Nino Sances. Dodo and Nino told him he was with his brothers now.
Semper Fi, Dodo said, shaking TJs hand.
Semper Fi, TJ said back to him.
TJ Brennan smiled and took it all in, but I noticed he was preoccupied. He regarded the crowd and wondered if he should have brought Luke. But it was more than that. He kept looking around, as if he had lost something. And then he told me.
I lost one of my Marines two days ago, TJ Brennan said. He had a wife. He had a little girl, 4 months old. But he had his demons and they wouldnt leave him alone. He killed himself.

Academic Departmental Guidelines/Documents
Each academic department is required by University Handbook policy to develop department documents containing criteria, standards, and guidelines for promotion, tenure, reappointment, annual evaluation and merit salary allocation. These documents must be approved by a majority vote of the faculty members in the department, by the department head or chair, by the dean concerned, and by the provost. They must be reviewed and re-submitted every five years, or as necessary. Dates of revision (or the vote to continue without revision) must appear on the first page of the document.
In addition, each department has developed a set of guidelines describing the minimum-acceptable level of productivity for all applicable areas of responsibility for the faculty, as well as procedures to handle such cases of chronic low achievement. Minimum-acceptable levels of productivity are defined along with a clear explanation as to how the department or unit will determine when a tenured faculty member's low performance in one or more instances fails overall to meet the minimum acceptable level. These guidelines are to be included in the department's evaluation document. The outcome of K-State's Post Tenure Review can be obtained, in PDF format, by clicking on the underlined portion of this sentence.
In accordance with University Handbook policy, provision must be made to review these documents at least once every five years or more frequently if it is determined to be necessary. Dates of revision (or the vote to continue without revision) must appear on the first page of the document.
This site contains the following information for every academic department: Department Mission Statement; Departmental Promotion, Tenure, and Reappointment Criteria; Annual Evaluation and Merit Salary Allocation Procedures; Departmental Minimum Standards; Chronic Low Achievement Procedures; and Dates of Revision for Departmental Documents.
Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP's): This office is also the depository of department/unit COOP's. To complete the COOP form, the instructions [Pandemic Flu Instructions] are in a document linked right above the link to the plan form [Pandemic Flu Form] at: http://www.k-state.edu/safety/pdf/pandemic_flu_form.doc The department/unit's documents will be filed by the Office of Academic Personnel but will not be available online. Please follow the links to your department/unit to see if our office has a COOP on file.

Peschke & Srebotnik's Streak Snapped
Published August 10, 2011 11:11
TORONTO, Canada - In their partnership that dates back to 2004, Nuria Llagostera Vives and Arantxa Parra Santonja have posted some impressive results, highlighted by two titles. However, their victory on Wednesday in the second round of the Rogers Cup may have been their most noteworthy one yet. The Spaniards defeated top-ranked Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik, 36 64 1412, putting an end to the No.1 seeds' 14-match winning streak that included titles at Eastbourne, Wimbledon and Carlsbad.
Peschke and Srebotnik fought until the end, though, falling just short in a 21-minute match tie-break featuring lots of momentum shifts. Llagostera Vives and Parra Santonja went out to a 7-4 lead before losing four straight points. The Spaniards had their first match points at 9-8 and 10-9, but Peschke and Srebotnik rallied and had a match point of their own at 11-10. Llagostera Vives and Parra Santonja again took the lead at 12-11, but the tie-break was extended once again before they finally put it away on their fourth match point.
Peschke and Srebotnik weren't the only team bitten by the upset bug, as all three seeded teams in first round action went down. Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci won the last three points of the match tie-break to get past fifth-seeded Sania Mirza and Elena Vesnina, 26 60 107, Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears survived seventh-seeded Iveta Benesova and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, 36 75 107, and Kimiko Date-Krumm and Zhang Shuai took out eighth-seeded Chan Yung-Jan and Anastasia Rodionova, 75 63.
The lone seeds to advance Wednesday were No.3 seeds Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond, who beat Monica Niculescu and Shahar Peer, 63 64, to join Llagostera Vives and Parra Santonja in the quarterfinals.

A big question about Detroit's future was answered today in court, with Judge Rhodes ruling the city is eligible to fix its finances in bankruptcy court. This is just the first phase of what will be a long process to resolve the financial issues. Fox 2's legal analyst Charlie Langton breaks down the process. VIDEO: Click on the video player above to watch Langton's report
A judge says pensions, like any contract, can be cut during bankruptcy. The comment from Judge Steven Rhodes came Tuesday during his decision that Detroit is eligible to fix its finances in bankruptcy court. Rhodes says a provision in the Michigan Constitution protecting public pensions isn't a bulletproof shield in this case; the language just isn't there to protect the pensions even in bankruptcy. But Rhodes cautions that he won't simply rubber-stamp any cuts that come before him in Detroit's reorganization plan.He's expressed concerns about retirees and devoted a full day in September to hearing their stories about living on tight budgets.The city says pension funds are short by $3.5 billion.
The Detroit Institute of Arts says it remains committed to taking action if city-owned parts of its collection are threatened by the city's bankruptcy.The statement from the museum was issued after Judge Steven Rhodes ruled that Detroit is eligible to fix its finances in bankruptcy court.Emergency manager Kevyn Orr has acknowledged that some art at the Detroit Institute of Arts is owned by the city and not held in trust by the museum. Appraisals are pending.The museum opposes efforts by certain creditors to allow them to form a committee to oversee the valuation and sale or "monetization" of art. The museum says it is hopeful that Orr will recognize the city's duty to "protect the museum art collection for future generations."Another county has come forth with its support holding onto the art collection. Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner released the following statements: Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner lauds U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes's warning against sale of the DIA's art to balance Detroit's budget. In his statement, Judge Rhodes said "selling such assets such as masterpieces at the DIA does not make sense for an insolvent city and does not address long-term financial and structural problems.""Oakland County and the entire region have a vested interest in protecting our art," said Meisner. "Judge Rhodes's statement is a clear indication that the sale of this world-class art collection has no long term financial benefit for the city." In 2012, Oakland County residents, along with those in Wayne and Macomb, passed a millage establishing ongoing funding for the DIA. In the first year, Oakland County alone contributed over $9 million. The 0.2-mill property tax costs the equivalent of $20 annually on a house with a market value of $200,000 and a taxable value of $100,000. Mr. Meisner also reiterated his support for retirement promises made to the city's retirees. Said Meisner, "The promise of retirement security that so many individuals and families earned through many years of service should be kept." -The Associated Press contributed to this report.
