Dillard's marked its 15th consecutive quarter of positive sales.
Wells Fargo & Company and Dillard's have entered into an agreement for Wells Fargo to fund, issue and service Dillard's-branded private label and co-brand credit cards.
Cobb Theatres' CineBistro will co-anchor Cincinnati's 1.1 million-sq.-ft. Liberty Center with Dillard's, according to center developers Steiner + Associates and Bucksbaum Retail Properties.
Dillard's will anchor the fashion-oriented Phase II of Fremaux Town Center in Slidell, La., according to co-developers CBL & Associates Properties, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., and Stirling Properties out of Covington, La.
Chicago -- Dillard's has selected OpinionLab to extend its omnichannel "Voice of Customer" program including its digital, mobile and in-store experiences, with precise insight into what its customers want and need.
OpinionLab's patented solutions allow Dillard's to systematically interpret customer feedback across all of Dillard's brand touchpoints, including mobile platforms, online and in-store. Now, Dillard's can monitor and optimize the customer experience in real-time with an end-to-end solution set that includes research design, data collection and integration, analysis and reporting. Location-specific, context-rich insight can be fed across the organization, from managers through executives, for the greatest impact from the voice of the customer.
"At Dillard's, we are committed to providing the very best customer service and a great experience for our customers regardless of where they shop – whether that's in our stores, at Dillards.com or through their mobile phones," said Woody Chin, CIO of Dillard's. "We believe our decision to select the global leader in Voice of Customer, is a true testament of our commitment – making it even easier for our customers to provide feedback and for our company to act on that feedback."
Invest in the right experience for a shopping center's customers, and you will earn a return on experience. That is the business model driving Fort Worth, Texas-based Trademark Property Co., which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
"Do customers love being at the center? Do they come back and drive sales? That is return on experience," said Terry Montesi, Trademark chairman, CEO and founder. Experience is indispensable today when most goods and services are available online, often at a lower price.
Dillard's Inc. posted fourth-quarter net income of $161.4 million, up 14% over the year-ago period.
A report by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission revealed that Dillard's Inc. will pay $2 million to settle a class-action disability discrimination lawsuit.
The Howard Hughes Corp. and Dillard's announced that the department store is the latest anchor to be part of The Shops at Summerlin, in West Las Vegas Valley.
ED Development announced it will bring Dillard's department store to Rayzor Ranch Town Center, the new, open-air retail and entertainment destination now under development in Denton, Texas.
Dillard's third quarter merchandise sales for the quarter ended Oct. 27 increased 4% to more than $1.4 billion, same-store sales increased 5% and operating profits increased 84% to nearly $73 million.
The Merchant Customer Exchange announced Tuesday that Bed Bath & Beyond, Dillard's, Dunkin' Brands, Gap, Sheetz and Wakefern Food Corp. are among those joining the existing lineup of merchants who are committed to creating a seamless mobile-commerce solution.
Dillard's said Thursday that it has appointed Chris Johnson as its VP real estate.
Dillard's reported net income for the second quarter, ended July 28, of $31.0 million, up from $17.6 million in the year-ago period.
Youngstown, Ohio-based Cafaro Co. said that The Children's Place will open a new store in the Dillard's Concourse of Eastwood Mall, in Niles, Ohio.
Dillard's said that net income for the quarter ended April 28 rose to $95 million, from $76.7 million in the year-ago period, setting a company record for profit increases.
Dillard's said it has made a strategic investment in e-commerce company Acumen Brands in a move toward enhancing the department store retailer's website dillards.com, as well as Acumen's 12 e-commerce sites.
Dillard's said Thursday it has offered to relocate 66 St. Louis employees whose jobs have been eliminated from the department store retailer's merger of two merchandising divisions.
Dillard's has selected Kiva Systems for order fulfillment at its new, 850-sq.-ft. e-commerce fulfillment center in Maumelle, Ark.
Dillard's said Tuesday that its net income grew 38% in the fourth quarter as its sales improved and the retailer controlled expenses and inventory.
In a regulatory filing on Wednesday Dillard's said it plans to form a real estate investment trust, with the objective of improving liquidity.
Past Issues

To help prevent deaths the Silicon Valley-based non-profit Racing Hearts will place 52 automated external defibrillators (AED) around the City of Palo Alto, specifically in high-risk places like libraries and athletic fields. The money for the AEDs came from the city council discretionary funds voted on in an April 2013.
These 52 should be installed by Fall 2013 (see illustration). All school sites should receive the AEDs by June 2014.
According to the American Red Cross, an AED is a small lightweight electronic device that senses an irregular heart rhythm "and then prompts the rescuer to deliver the shock simply by pressing a button."
Because AEDs have been proven to be safe, reliable and effective in the prevention of death from sudden cardiac arrest trained persons can use them to help a victim before paramedics arrive on scene, which according to the Red Cross take them between 8 to 12 minutes.
Since Racing Hearts is run by volunteers, they hope to encourage the community to consider making a small donation.
Look out for an AEDSpotter app to help locate and map local AEDs coming to an app store near you.
Editor's note: The article has been updated with a correction. Racing Hearts did not donate the AEDs. The money came from the city.

Rehearsals for Chorus and Cantabile are held in Room 121 on the first floor of Jones at Meredith College. Chorale rehearsals will be held in 106 Wainwright. Please refer to the map on page 16. Singers must check in with the Rehearsal Assistant for their choir in the Wainwright Lobby before rehearsal begins (Chorus rehearsal begins promptly at 4:30, Chorale and Cantabile begin promptly at 6:00). The Rehearsal Assistant documents attendance, collects monies and forms, and distributes correspondence. After rehearsal has begun, the Rehearsal Assistant calls the homes of absent singers to ensure that all singers have arrived safely at rehearsal and that there has not been a transportation snafu or misunderstanding about the attendance policy.
Each rehearsal is an important one. It will consist of vocal instruction, music reading skills, basic musicianship, and choral training. Because of the high quality of performance expected, attendance at all rehearsals is expected.
Rehearsal schedules will be issued at the beginning of the year. Rehearsals may be scheduled on teacher workdays. Please check your CCGC calendar before assuming that rehearsals are not being held.
It is essential that every minute of our rehearsal is used wisely. We request that CCGC members get into the habit of arriving in plenty of time to accomplish the following before rehearsal time:
Check in with rehearsal assistant and turn in any forms, payments, or paperwork that is due (if there is no rehearsal assistant, please wait quietly in the lobby until that person arrives) Use the restroom Be in seat when rehearsals begin
All singers are expected to have the following at each rehearsal:
- a pencil
- a notebook (3-ring, one-inch binder)
- CCGC music folder and music
- water bottle
Each girl should bring to every rehearsal, a notebook in which she will keep various pages of vocal exercises, theory, rhythm, and Solfege work. We will refer to these pages on a weekly basis. It is therefore important to bring the notebook to EVERY rehearsal.
CCGC members are reminded that food, drinks, and gum are not allowed at either rehearsals or performances; however, water bottles are permitted at rehearsals. Singers are expected to demonstrate personal responsibility at all times. Please remember to bring a small three-ring notebook (one inch) and a pencil to all rehearsals! We expect all CCGC members to behave appropriately while participating in choir activities. We share the Meredith facilities with many other people and there may be activities occurring simultaneously. Please behave accordingly. Recitals and other performances often take place in Carswell. If necessary, check-in may be moved to the rehearsal rooms.
Girls can be dropped off and picked up in the traffic circle at the entrance to Wainwright Lobby (across from the lake). There is no parking allowed in this loading zone. Monday afternoon CCGC traffic jams have been a problem in the past, especially since Chorus pickup and Chorale and Cantabile drop off occur simultaneously. Parents and children need to remember that we are guests on the campus, and most problems can be alleviated by exercising common courtesy:
Quick drop off—girls should be ready to exit from the car, and not need time to find their CCGC notebook while others wait. Park in the visitor parking spaces if you or your daughter needs extra time. Girls should watch for their rides at pick up time so that the line of cars can move quickly. Parents should be prompt at pick up times. Remember that a Rehearsal parent must wait with each and every child until their rides come. Rehearsal Assistants have already donated about 2 hours of their time to your daughter that day. It is impolite to keep them waiting because of lack of planning on your part.
Carpools are encouraged. See the CCGC Directory for families living near you, or for school based carpools.
CCGC families will receive a "Capital City Girls Choir" card for display when parking on campus. Please park in one of the 22 "Visitor Parking" spaces on East Campus Drive. Do not park in the Commuter parking lots or in "Reserved" spaces. Security will ticket your car for parking improperly.
Depending on the performance schedule, extra rehearsals may be required. Parents will be notified in advance of the additional rehearsal.
When Wake County Public Schools close due to inclement weather, CCGC will not meet. Parents will be notified in advance of any other cancelled rehearsals. Please check our telephone message at 760 – CCGC or this website for cancellation information.

Folks are studying canine longevity. That simply means, canine life expectancy. Seems there's big interest in 'aging's complexities", as it applies to our canine friends. And, how aging affects disease.
We, of sound mind and body, who love our dogs as we love our lives, already know this. Don't we? We know there is a strong connection between us and our floppy eared friends. That connection is mostly one of devoted love, both ways, but we also recognize the science behind this strong bond. Well, we recognize that there IS a science behind it. Not just that love is important, but that we need to be focused on the medical aspects of our similarities... and learn to understand how our bodies work.

On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, the Oregon House of Representatives honored Oregon's dedication to inclusion and diversity.
Since 1923, a KKK-sponsored law prohibiting religious clothing worn by school teachers has been part of Oregon law. In the mid 1980s, a Sikh teacher was terminated and discredited because of this law for wearing a turban to her school. In 2009, the law was upheld after the Oregon legislature carved out an exclusion for public schools under the Oregon Workplace Religious Freedom Act.

A owl perched on a silvery shield
Flanked by two stallions with bullet riddled chest.
Bloods dripping on a earth of cactus,
And a motto which reads:
"Unity personified, and Hatred disguised."
On this shield once an eagle stood,
Which bore the meeting point of two great rivers
And the two gallant stallions once bubbling with soul
And the earth was green with floras,
While its motto once read:
Unity, peace and progress.
The nation is gradually dying
Satirized by its coat of harms
As those whom we call our leaders-
Are hell bent on committing "Natricide"*
* A state of destroying a nation, its reputation, its people and its ideology.

It's the same reason right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh refers to him as "disgusting." It's because for the last twelve years Wexler has been Congress's most outspoken liberal -- taking on George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, General David Petraeus, and, when necessary, even his own party.
In Fire-Breathing Liberal, Wexler brings readers onto the floor of the House and puts them at the center of some of the last decade's biggest controversies. He passionately describes how he defended Bill Clinton from impeachment and how he stood up against the Bush brothers when the "butterfly" ballots in his Florida district wrongly decided the 2000 presidential election. He also offers an honest and brutal assessment of the Iraq war and explains why he has become a leader in the movement to impeach Vice President Cheney. And, with warmth and wit, Wexler shares some of the funniest stories from the corridors of Congress, including how he became The Colbert Report's most talked-about guest.
This is a remarkably candid first-person account of recent political history that shows government as it has rarely been seen -- by a Democrat in the middle of the storms.

Hi – yes I did check my spam. Curious about this – how did you receive a message when the contact form is set up to go to my email? Thanks, Jane
We meant we received a success message, ie: "Your message has been sent. Thank you!"
Can you also try a different email address?
If you still don't receive any messages please get in touch with your hosting provider. There might be some extra requirements on your hosting to make the forms work.
I have try everthing and my form and suscribe not working.
I read every comments, change email, add all permitions to files and still not working, can you help please.http://whmg.co.uk/xxx/
All sorted – IF YOU USING FASTHOST NEED ENABLE SCRIPTING SUPPORT
Hi – How do I change the days, hours, minutes and seconds on the page? THanks, Jane
You can find instructions on changing the countdown date in the help documentation which is inside the "help" folder of the theme package.
I just bought this theme and when I try to install it I get this error:
"The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template."
I'm running Wordpress v3.5.1
Since Fleepy is a pure HTML template it cannot be installed as a Wordpress theme.
Your contact form does not work, where is the error in the script?
What kind of an issue are you having exactly? Can you please share your URL so we can take a closer look?
How do i let it count up?
Is that possible?
Don't think so. Since the script name is "jQuery Countdown". But you can find more information about the script here: http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html it may be possible.
Great theme. I've had no problem customising the look but I'm struggling to make the contact or the subscribe form to work properly.
The subscribe (submit) button is not clickable and neither of the messages go through to my website's email (which is set up through Google apps for business.)
I followed the right steps as instructed and also went through all the discussion posts in here but I still couldn't find a solution.
In some posts you mention it could be the hosting? I'm with Hostgator, running fleepy in front of a joomla template that is my actual site.
It is displaying fine in the browser.
Thanks in advance.
Your hosting may require some additional settings for the forms to work, like smtp authentication or other requirements. You need to contact your hosting provider, they should guide you on this.
I am having a problem with this under construction theme. The 'Submit' button is working properly and stating that it is adding emails to the file.txt list, but nothing is showing up there. I have followed the directions that you provided with the theme and have not seen any results. I have also contacted Godaddy where our site is hosted, but they had mentioned that the issue likely existed within the theme.
The contact form works perfectly, so I know that it is not an issue with the SMTP, etc.
The domain is skyhighadventuremusic.com.
Please advise, thanks!
Are the file permissions of the file.txt 777?
Edit: fixed my issues, thanks!
I've just extracted the theme and get this error after uploading to the themes folder.
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template
You seem to try to install Fleepy as a Wordpress theme but it is a pure HTML template and cannot be installed in Wordpress.
Just bought the theme but as I read big mistake. I can't use it on wordpress theme. any chance for money back?
Unfortunately we are not authorized to give refunds. You will need to contact Themeforest support about this issue. http://support.envato.com/
I'm rather annoyed that this theme is listed in at least two different "top 20" lists as a Wordpress theme, only to find out that it isn't.http://wplift.com/25-wordpress-coming-soon-themes-and-plugins http://themergency.com/20-under-construction-coming-soon-wordpress-themes/
You need to sort this out,
Very disappointing.
This is the first time we see the lists you mention, they are not created by us. So we find it so rude that you blame their existence on us. It is not mentioned anywhere in the item details that it is a Wordpress theme. And it is under "Site Templates" category.
WordPress version ?
Thank you for your interest. The template is pure HTML, Wordpress version doesn't exist.
hello, i just bought your theme. it was one of the easiest template i have ever edited. But i'm having an issue about receiveing the emails. I changed the $replyto variable to my address but it did not work. Other php files working very well. PS: I checked the spam folder as well. What should i do? Thank you…

Olney principal ditches desk for more face time with students
At Olney Elementary School, most students have been to the principal's office before class even starts. Well, not the room itself exactly, but a more accessible space.
D.C. public schools: Half of principals are "developing"
A new evaluation system rated just 14 of D.C. Public Schools' 120 principals as "highly effective." Half of the District's principals were rated as "developing," just one level above "ineffective."

The warm winter temperatures have filled soccer players with anticipation of an early start to the soccer season. Leagues, coaches and players have all looked forward to an early return to practices and games. When expecting a longer season it is important athletes are properly preparing their bodies before and after practice. Athletes who are involved in multiple sports or who have multiple practices a week may be more susceptible to overuse injuries. To get local youth soccer players ready, the experts at Spaulding Rehabilitation are partnering with the New England Revolution Academy to host a free soccer clinic on May 31st at ForeKicks in Marlboro from 6-8 pm for all soccer players ages 7- 14. This free clinic will teach players, coaches, and parents about important stretching techniques, strength and agility exercises, and treatment and prevention of overuse injuries.
Participants will be led by New England Revolution Academy coaches through various skills stations that will challenge a player's agility, ball control, endurance, and smart play-making decisions. Sports therapists from Spaulding will show players the methods to prepare for a long soccer season. This program is developed by the physical therapists who treat the New England Revolution.
"Spaulding and the Revolution Academy are proud to offer this clinic free to area youth soccer players. Our goal is to ensure younger players are properly training throughout the season." said Jennifer Green, Physical Therapist for the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network and the New England Revolution. "We want parents and coaches to gain an understanding of common injuries and how important receiving the right treatment can decrease the likely hood of an injury impacting an athlete later in life."
Players will also have the opportunity to have pictures and autographs with the New England Revolution mascot Slyde. The clinic is free but spaces are limited. Participants must RSVP to email@example.com ForeKicks is located at 219 Forest Street in Marlboro.

|From the HSLDA E-lert Service:
Home School Legal Defense Association
Illinois--Calls Needed to Defeat Compulsory Attendance Bill
From the HSLDA E-lert Service...
May 13, 2004
Illinois--Calls Needed to Defeat Compulsory Attendance Bill
Dear HSLDA members and friends:
Your calls are needed to defeat Senate Bill 2918. S.B. 2918 raises
the compulsory attendance age from 16 to 17. This bill rapidly passed
the Senate and has now passed the House. If the Governor signs the
bill, it will subject homeschool students to the requirements for
private schools for another year.
Homeschoolers have defeated these compulsory attendance age bills
several times before. We can do it again!
Call the Governor's office and urge him to veto S.B. 2918. You can
give him the following message in your own words.
"We urge you to vote against S.B. 2918 as it would waste taxpayer's
money. Statistics demonstrate that compelling 17 year olds to attend
school does not improve graduation rates."
You do not need to identify yourself as a homeschooler.
Governor Blagojevich's Office
Phone: (217) 782-0244
Office of the Governor
207 State House
Springfield, IL 62706
You can also email him at:
Here are some of the reasons HSLDA opposes S.B. 2918:
- Raising the compulsory attendance age from 16 to 17 would subject
Illinois home educators to the requirements for private school one
year later than now required. (You do not need to share this reason
with the Governor).
- Raising the compulsory attendance age will not reduce the dropout
rate. In fact, the two states with the highest high school completion
rates, Maryland at 94.5% and North Dakota at 94.7%, compel attendance
only to age 16. The state with the lowest completion rate (Oregon:
75.4%) compels attendance to age 18. (Figures are three year averages,
1996 through 1998).
- Twenty-nine states only require attendance to age 16. Older children
unwilling to learn can cause classroom disruptions and even violence,
making learning harder for their classmates who truly want to learn.
- It would restrict parents' freedom to decide if their 16 year old is
ready for college or the workforce. Some 16 year olds who are not
academically inclined benefit more from valuable work experience than
from being forced to sit in a classroom.
- Another significant impact of expanding the compulsory attendance
age would be an inevitable tax increase to pay for more classroom
space and teachers to accommodate the additional students compelled to
attend public schools. When California raised the age of compulsory
attendance, unwilling students were so disruptive that new schools had
to be built just to handle them and their behavior problems, all at
the expense of the taxpayer.
For more information on compulsory attendance, please see our
memorandum at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?ID=1533
Thank you for your efforts!

Fan Fare
Entertainment behind the scenes
(Writing and reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis)
"Friends" star Jennifer Aniston appears in a nude cover shot – well, she's wearing a tie — on GQ magazine that looks like a throwback to her days as a 1990s sex symbol. In that decade, many fans of the TV sitcom thought of her if not so much as the "girl next door" but more like the "girlfriend next door," whose fictional relationships were a big part of the show.
The 39-year-old star is pictured on the cover of the magazine's January issue with little but a cute smile and a red, white and blue tie wrapped around her neck. A cover line reads "Is it just us or is Jennifer Aniston getting hotter?" And inside the pages, there are even more pix – along with the article, of course.
In recent years, Aniston has appeared in several movies, and often has found herself on the cover of one tabloid or another with her latest romantic involvement minutely scrutinized. She has a big Hollywood movie, "Marley & Me," set to debut in theaters later this month.
Aniston talks to GQ about her relationship with rocker John Mayer, 31, who is often seen with her. But before things got too personal, she deflected some questions. "I am not having his baby. And I have not popped the question," she says.
But one question seemed to go unanswered: is Mayer the lucky guy who gets to tie her necktie?
Way to go Jen. So take that, (uh what's her name…….Angie who? Brad who?)
Jennifer is the hottest actress! Period. I will bet she is a genuine, awesome girlfriend. She has to be, she is an aquarius like me. Forget Mayer! Jen should look into dating someone NOT in the public eye. That would be awesome!
HO Ho ho…. "LOOK at ME" – I'm attention starved.
Re. Jen & GQ: Great Marley & Me press … It's another schizophrenic promotional message from Team Aniston. When asked about Brad and Angelina, why doesn't Aniston just demur and shut-up? Less is more: Jen needs to button up … she is nauseatingly overexposded at this point and the public needs a break from her ego and bipolar personna. Happy holiday to you too.
She is sexy
She is so very lame. She is the girl next door-plain, average Jane Doe. She has a long chin a la Leno and is super insecure. The luckiest thing that ever happened to her was to have nabbed Brad, and with her acting skills and looks, she should have bent over backwards and started having some kids. The facts are that she thought (erroneously) that she could be a superstar. Brad was growing in a different direction-wanting to become involved in world affairs and helping people with his celebrity. Jen wasn't into that. SO nobody should pat such a shallow, selfish woman on the head and tell her she's hot-when clearly she's not. Her movies simply aren't hits.
Jenifer is the real deal, comes across as the most down home actress in America. Aother aquarius awesome, Wow I have something in common with miss Aniston! P.S Great pose by the way, very tasteful.
Not to take anything away for Jen, but where can I get that tie?
Jen bare naked save for tie n' toe-ring in the chilly January issue of GQ: well, now, who ever said hell hath no fury like a woman dumped …
Cute photos! Sexy but not salacious. Wish I'd looked that good at 39. Go, Jen!
Just in time for her new film. This is called "Publicity Stunt".
Wrong Move Jen……
Poll from AZ
How sad…..I hope she doesnt become another Britney.
Neither Jen or Mayer are anything to look at. I don't care how much plastic surgery she has done. She is a plain jane who is trying to be sexy. John Mayer looks like Edward Scissor Hands.
We all think Jennifer Aniston is the most beautiful actress on the screen and everyone thinks she's the best

The business started by the cast of The Real World Key West has closed its doors. This is shocking news, since the last time The Real World came to Florida, for the Miami season, the whole starting-a-business thing was a smashing success.
The cast opened Mystic Tan, a spray tan business, which seemed like a perfect fit for Key West and its lack of natural ways to get a tan. Production on the show ended in mid-December as the cast vacated the city, and the building where the business was located was also vacated.
According to the Key West Chronicle, "The whole tanning business is gone…not a trace of it left." The site offers "photos of the now empty building" and notes that "[m]any locals shrugged at the idea of needing a tanning business this far south into the Sunshine State. And from the looks of things, they had very few people through the door."

Week 2 NFL Game Recaps
Packers 30, Panthers 23
OK, so, maybe the list isn't very impressive. Dan Fouts, Dan Marino and Tom Brady are great, but Billy Volek and Matt Cassel kind of ruin it for Newton. Still, Carolina's new franchise quarterback was mostly outstanding in this contest. On the opening drive, he rolled right and hit Jeremy Shockey for a 23-yard reception. His second pass showed great touch on what should have been another 20-yard hookup to Shockey, but the tight end dropped the ball. This didn't bother Newton, and neither did two illegal shift penalties, as he went on to hit Brandon LaFell for a 3-yard score.
The game was lost, however, on the next two possessions. The Panthers squandered opportunities in the red zone. They could have put the Packers away, but instead of going up 21-0, the score was just 13-0. Aaron Rodgers predictably came back, and Newton looked like a rookie in the second half, trying too hard to force bad passes to Steve Smith. Newton, consequently, was picked off thrice. Otherwise, he finished 28-of-46 for 432 yards, plus 53 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.
Bills 38, Raiders 35
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
Oakland got the running game going just enough to move the football with an occasional screen pass to Darren McFadden. It was nothing fancy, but drive after drive, they marched in for touchdowns in the second quarter. This was supposed to be a hangover game for them flying east on a short week following a late Monday Night Football appearance in Denver. Instead, they were up 21-3 at halftime aided by a missed field goal and turnover leading to a short touchdown drive.
When the second half started, everything went back to analyst expectations coming in. Buffalo came out firing on offense and playing aggressive on defense. The offense scored touchdowns all five times they touched the ball after the break. The defense forced a fumble on Oakland's first possession and a quick punt on their second possession.
By the fourth quarter, this was an old school AFL shootout with the teams exchanging touchdowns and the lead. Remember the passing stats from earlier? Well, in the final three quarters Fitzpatrick and Campbell combined to complete 45 out of 66 attempts for 565 yards and five touchdowns.
Campbell was dealing with some different wide receivers with Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy and Jacoby Ford out. It turned out to be a blessing. Denarius Moore, a star of the preseason, caught five balls for 146 yards including a jaw-dropping 50-yard score down the middle with Leodis McKelvin and Gibril Wilson on him like two pieces of bread. Derek Hagan was also solid, catching five passes for 61 yards.
Lions 48, Chiefs 3
When the Chiefs had the ball, Jamaal Charles suffered a nasty-looking knee injury as he fell out of bounds. Charles tripped over the Lions mascot and had to be carted into the locker room.
All reports indicate that Charles will be out for the year. Kansas City is now a leading candidate in the Suck for Luck sweepstakes.
Browns 27, Colts 19
The problem is obviously Kerry Collins. He's terrible. Though his stats don't look too bad - 19-of-38 for 191 yards, one touchdown, one interception - some of that came in junk time late in the game when Indianapolis was down 15. Collins played as though he just came out of a Penn State frat party. He was so inaccurate that the Colts simply had no chance. In fact, it's a miracle he threw only one pick. I have to wonder why Curtis Painter isn't starting. He's at least familiar with the offense. Collins belongs in a glue factory.
Saints 30, Bears 13
Facebook friend Steve T. had another theory:
I'm convinced: Jay Cutler owes Mike Tice a great deal of money. So rather than call a hitman to kill Cutler, Tice instructs his lineman not to block for the Bears QB
Either way, Cutler was sacked a whopping six times. All the pressure forced a number of errant throws; Cutler went 19-of-45 for 244 yards and a touchdown.
Brees loved checking the ball down to Darren Sproles, especially early on. Sproles finished with eight receptions for 43 yards and a score.
Buccaneers 24, Vikings 20
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
The Vikings completely shut down the Bucs in the first two quarters. Tampa Bay had only 62 yards in the first half. Freeman was 4-of-7 for 35 yards prior to halftime. The Bucs had only three first downs, and running back LeGarrette Blount ran for only four yards on five carries. Tight end Kellen Winslow led the Bucs at half time with 22 yards on two receptions.
In the third quarter, Blount broke out with a 27-yard touchdown run behind right tackle Jeremy Trueblood and right guard Davin Joseph. The Buccaneers executed an onside kick and started moving down the field with Blount running the ball well. Freeman connected with Kellen Winslow for some nice gains. The Bucs were at the Vikings' 12 yard-line when Freeman threw a horrible pass off his back foot. The ball was behind Winslow in the end zone and was intercepted by Husain Abdullah.
On the next drive, the Bucs caught a break when a fumble by Earnest Graham that was returned inside the 10-yard line was negated by an offsides penalty on Vikings defensive end Brian Robison. Freeman tossed a short crossing route to wide receiver Preston Parker that was broken downfield for a 51-yard gain. Freeman tossed a beautiful 17-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams, but an illegal shift penalty took the score away. That set up a field goal from Connor Barth.
Freeman hooked up with wide receiver Arrelious Benn for a 25-yard touchdown part way through the fourth quarter. That fired up Freeman, and the Buc offense didn't look back. On the Bucs' final possession, Freeman made a few good throws to move the ball downfield. Blount finished the drive with a touchdown run from four yards out. Freeman finished the game 22-of-31 for 243 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
In the first half Peterson ran for 83 yards on 15 carries with two short touchdown runs. Peterson also had a fumble, but it was recovered by Minnesota. Gerhart had 36 yards on two carries with one reception for 42 yards.
At halftime, McNabb completed 11-of-17 passes for 153 yards with no interceptions or touchdowns. McNabb had a good run for a first down to extend the Vikings' second touchdown drive. He did a good job as a game manager early, but couldn't come up with needed plays in clutch time in the second half. At halftime, Minnesota had a 17-0 lead.
Peterson, McNabb and Vikings were slow to move the ball in the second half. Peterson had only nine yards rushing on four carries in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Minnesota had a field goal drive, but the offense didn't do enough to seal the win for the Vikings and that let the Bucs offense pull out a comeback.
Jets 32, Jaguars 3
As the score indicates, it wasn't even close. Luke McCown was dreadful, going 6-of-19 for 59 yards and four ugly interceptions (twice by Antonio Cromartie). It's hard to completely blame McCown because he was missing Marcedes Lewis, but McCown looked like he was playing blindfolded at times.
Oh, and I'd be remiss if I forgot that McCown was also missing the great Jason Hill, who talked trash about the Jets and Darrelle Revis despite the fact that he didn't even play.
Steelers 24, Seahawks 0
Big Ben went down in the second quarter on a low hit to the knee. It really resembled what happened to Tom Brady in the 2007 season opener when Bernard Pollard destroyed Brady's season. I thought he was done when he limped off the field and was replaced by Charlie Batch, who entered the game to a chorus of "Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!" chants.
However, in typical Roethlisberger fashion, he re-entered the game just two plays later. While the Steelers stalled in the red zone, the important thing is that Big Ben is fine - even if he did take a nasty hit in the second half as well.
Roethlisberger finished 22-of-30 for 298 yards and a touchdown. He looked great after halftime, hooking up with Mike Wallace for a 53-yard completion. Wallace, by the way, had eight grabs for 126 yards and a score.
Seattle's offensive line simply couldn't block for Jackson, who took five sacks. The Seahawks were behind early, so Marshawn Lynch had only six carries for 11 yards.
Titans 26, Ravens 13
Britt hauled in nine grabs for 135 yards and a touchdown. He was unstoppable. Washington pitched in with seven catches for 99 yards.
Redskins 22, Cardinals 21
Yet, here we are. Rex Grossman continues to play relatively well for Mike Shanahan, as he went 25-of-43 for 291 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of picks. One interception was tipped, but the second one was definitely a "Bad Rex" moment. He's had two of them in two games thus far, which is big positive because Washington can survive with only one "Bad Rex" instance per week. The important thing is that Grossman led the Redskins on three scoring drives in the fourth quarter of 44, 73 and 64 yards.
Cowboys 27, 49ers 24
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
Breaks like that helped San Francisco scrap its way to a 14-0 lead. A pass interference penalty (25 yards) set them up at the 1-yard line for a short Frank Gore touchdown run, and in the second scoring drive, a bunch of short plays did the trick after starting at the Dallas 48.
Finally, Dallas caught a huge break when Ahmad Brooks lined up offsides on a failed third down as time was running out in the half. Given a second chance to convert, some guy named Tramine Brock out of Belhaven College (think the 49ers need to draft a cornerback?) fell down in coverage, and 53 yards later, Miles Austin cut the lead to 14-7 at the break.
The passing game took on increased importance because Felix Jones hurt his shoulder early. He had just nine carries for 25 yards, and caught a pass for five yards. DeMarco Murray (6-21) and Tashard Choice (5-5) were not effective in relief.
Witten saw a hefty 15 targets, catching seven passes for 102 yards. Both quarterbacks looked at him, so if Romo's ribs keep him out, fantasy owners should not be worried about putting the tight end in the lineup. That interception was offset by a pick from Alan Ball who was starting at cornerback as part of a makeshift Dallas secondary. Five plays later, Kitna found Austin to tie the game at 14.
Kitna's next interception was a pass thrown behind Kevin Ogletree. Alex Smith immediately hit Delanie Walker who was matched up with Anthony Spencer and predictably ran right past him for a 29-yard score to make it 21-14. After the two interceptions apparently Romo's painkillers kicked in. He was hit a ton in this game even though he was sacked just once. One of the legal hits was from rookie Aldon Smith. Romo looked battered.
San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh made a gutsy call going to the field goal from 55 yards out leading by seven early in the fourth quarter, and veteran kicker David Akers came through for him.
After that, in the fourth quarter the more talented Cowboys were done making mistakes and drove the ball on three straight scoring drives while the defense did not allow another first down. Dallas drove 80 yards for a touchdown to cut the lead to 24-21, then probably got too conservative with time running out by marching 44 yards to tie it with a field goal. I guess I can't really call the third one a "drive" since Romo hit reality TV show winner (seriously) Jesse Holley for a 77-yard pass on the first play of overtime. A quick field goal ended the game.
Broncos 24, Bengals 22
OK, maybe not so much. The Broncos had only three healthy receivers entering this game, and when they lost Eddie Royal to a groin injury, Tebow had to play wideout. He was used in the slot, but didn't catch any passes. He blocked primarily.
I don't really want to take anything away from Dalton because he nearly improved to 2-0 despite playing two games on the road, but the bums Denver utilized on defense had no hope of covering either A.J. Green (10 catches, 124 yards, TD) and Jerome Simpson (4-136).
Texans 23, Dolphins 13
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Miami got some good production out of Thomas. Thomas ran for 51 yards on 10 carries in the first half. Bush had two yards on two carries in the first two quarters of the game.
With Miami grabbing the momentum in the third quarter, Thomas gave it back to the Texans when he fumbled the ball away at midfield. Even though the Texans didn't produce points on that possession, the fumble stalled the Miami offense that had Houston on its heels.
Thomas had his first 100-yard rushing game of his career with 107 yards on 18 carries. Bush finished the game with just 18 yards on six carries. Marshall finished the game with 79 yards on six receptions and a score.
Patriots 35, Chargers 21
San Diego had four screw-ups inside New England's 35-yard line. The first was a botched fourth-and-goal try at the 1-yard line in which Norv Turner predictably called for a Michael Tolbert run. Rivers would go on to toss two picks in Patriots territory. The worst infraction, meanwhile, was a Tolbert fumble. The big running back found no room at the line of scrimmage, so he made a foolish decision to run backward in an attempt to find a lane elsewhere. The ball was stripped and recovered by the Patriots, who put the game away with a touchdown.
If that wasn't bad enough, the Patriots scored on a BenJarvus Green-Ellis as the clock was running out. This pissed me off immensely, since San Diego +7 was my biggest play of the weekend.
Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski (4-86) caught two touchdowns. Chad Ochocinco (2-45) once again was silent.
Falcons 35, Eagles 31
With all the focus on the two signal-callers, both QBDK and Ryan had took turns trying to prove who was worse for the first three quarters. For every QBDK fumble, there was a Ryan interception. However, QBDK took a hit on the head falling into right tackle Todd Herremans and was forced out of the game. Once that happened, Ryan seemed to gain confidence and shredded Philadelphia's tired defense with the no-huddle.
Ryan finished 17-of-28 for 195 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. The Falcons need to employ the no-huddle offense much more often. It was really night and day once Atlanta switched to this attack.
As for his actual play, QBDK once again struggled with the blitz. He was sharp early on, but made the usual mistakes. He fumbled three times and tossed a pick. He was otherwise 19-of-28 for 242 yards and a pair of scores.

They should really put cameras in the field goal posts, that way you can tell if the ball moves above it.

Per the Bills / Browns game: you said Fitz lost the fumble which, "looked like a forward pass heaved desperately because of pressure." I have no idea what game you were watching, but Fitz was under NO pressure and the ball, soaking wet from the constant first-half rain, slipped out of his hand. Maybe pay attention a little bit, Walt.

if that FG post was a little taller, the ball would have bounced off it. good game either way.
They should change the rules to where kicker has to keep it under the top of the posts.

The field goal wasnt reviewable because apparently as long as the ball is over the top of the up rights it cant be reviewed.

Well hockey is gone and NFL should be gone soon too. I see the season as follows: 12 teams with an 8&8 record and 4 teams with a mix of 9&7, or 10&6 records. Seems like Vegas is running the league. What say you all.

I dont think atlanta is a good as everyone advertises... i think san diego's receivers dropped to many passes... they had two fumbles in the red zone and then at one point just conceded a touchdown to turner....
if mathews or rosario dont fumble... gates and floyd catch the balls instead of drop them... the offense stays on the field longer and this is a different game....

The FG at the end of the game was actually not review-able. Mike Pereira tweeted after the game
"A FG that goes over the top of an upright is not reviewable because you cannot determine when exactly the ball is directly over the pole"
However the refs still should have explained to Belicheck why it can't be reviewed. The refs seem to be getting worse every week.

The pats/Rav game was the worst officiating Ive seen yet and trust me there have been some awful games. Pats should have won that game, two awful phantom calls resulted in 2 TD's for Ravens. Though the Pats got 1 phantom TD in there favor too so the reffing was awful for both sides.
Unfortunately as one person wrote about the Ravens/Eagles game last week is the lack of reffing helps the dirty team, the Ravens play tough and borderline dirty... do I always think their dirty no, the play tough, but they are certainly taking adv of the crap refs. If you look at last nights Rav/Pat game the Pats D-line was getting held on EVER PLAY! Its such a joke and that game was awful.
NFL should be ashamed

Even the announcers was shell shocked at the Devin Mccourty pass interference call, which would've made the play third and long, or fourth down ( i forget which one) on Raven's last scoring drive.
The officials were clearly intimidated by the fans in the stadium and freely handed out a free win.

I didn't really care about the Ref situation until the last couple of weeks but it has become obvious that, after seeing Hayward- bay and Romo get hit with helmet to helmet hits, it needs to change.
I know that the penalties would not have prevented The injuries, but without any policing, the defense is seeing how far they can take things and are taking liberties.
If it doesn't change soon a big name qb is going to be taken off on a stretcher like DHB, and that is not going to be good for business.

All i gotta say is last night's panthers vs. giants game was excruciating for a panthers fan. It was plain to see that the panthers came in with a terrible game plan against the giants. Rolling coverages heavy to cruz and playing soft zones against barden all game got exploited by the giants badly. And to be honest, our run d was non existent. Maybe they thought he was only going to runup the middle all game and just got surprised as hell when he hit the corners instead, haha. I don't know, but it was sad. And then there was cam. Eesh i think the only game he's had worse than that was the titans game last year. Accuracy was off seemingly all night. It didn't help that our offensive coordinator was having a blue light special on play action zone reads for 3 quarters. When it became apparent it wasn't working they should've moved on. But no, they beat the horse dead. Plus appa gently we've forgotten how to run the i formation. Instead every single run started wiyj the hb beside cam. Geeze let them get a head of steam and hit the hole. Anyway just needed to vent after a pathetic showing like that.

WATERVILLE — Waterville-Elysian-Morristown high school students gathered Monday morning to make memorials of senior Brady "Diggy" Hruska.
The tributes were mostly made to give to Hruska's family, going through the loss of their 17-year-old son who died Saturday on Lake Elysian after his boat capsized while duck hunting with four friends. But also, said Supt. Joel Whitehurst, the schoolwide gathering was to help the students with the grieving process.
Whitehurst said Hruska was a happy and friendly kid, and he's missed by all at the tight-knit school.
"He was a very good basketball player, a very good football player," Whitehurst said. "I don't think there was a kid in school that didn't like him. It's been a difficult time."
Hruska of Waterville was captain of the football team, playing the positions of wide receiver and cornerback, and his profile picture on Facebook of him catching a football during a game showed his pride in the sport. A post regarding Hruska's death on the Minnesota State High School League Facebook page is filled with comments sending well wishes to the boy's family.
Whitehurst said the WEM community has been grieving all weekend. Saturday night the football team decided to play the game against Medford in Hruska's honor, wearing his favorite color lime green as a tribute. Fans packed into the stands also wore lime green and held signs.
Hruska's father, Eric Hruska, carried his son's jersey onto the field before the game started. He was the one to tell the players that his son would want them to play the game, giving each player a hug.
WEM teacher and football coach Jon Bakken said his players are going through a difficult time, and Saturday night was a tough game to play.

Fire burns 'junked' vehicles behind Franklin's Garage
- Last Updated on 06:42 PM 10/03/13
- BY Paula I. Bryant
Fire destroyed several old "junked" vehicles parked behind Franklin's Garage Thursday afternoon around 5 p.m., according to South Boston Fire Chief Steve Phillips.
The origin of the fire has yet to be determined, Phillips said Thursday afternoon, as plumes of black smoke rose into the clouds.
The heavy black smoke was seen for miles around.
At the time the fire was reported, South Boston firefighters were nearby on Highway 58 extinguishing another vehicle fire reported east of Franklin's Garage near Seven Oaks Baptist Church, the chief said.
After extinguishing the first vehicle fire, firefighters from South Boston responded to the second blaze behind Franklin's Garage where they were assisted by firefighters from Halifax, Turbeville and Cluster Springs Volunteer Fire Departments.
Donnie Ellington, owner of the garage, used a tractor with a bucket on the front end to lift a blazing van so firefighters could put out the fire underneath the vehicle before it spread to other old vehicles and parts nearby.
A large pile of wooden pallets burned several feet away under the watchful eye of firefighters.
"They're just going to let those pallets burn up," said a bystander.
A third report of a vehicle fire near Sheetz in Riverdale came in shortly after 5 p.m., but that turned out to be an overheated vehicle, Chief Phillips said.

Looks can be deceiving, you would think the best customer would be a gentleman who walks in wearing a gold Rolex, Ralph Lauren jumper and Vivienne Westwood scarf; you would be wrong because this man bought nothing. Another man walks in not sure what to get his wife, he is not wearing any notable designer clothes, just looks like an average man, I show him all the limited edition items we have and immediately he spends over £400 on buying them all.
I must say my sales skills have vastly increased thanks to great tips from my fabulous boss, and so you know men are the easiest to sell more too and they will buy anything especially when they find out they can get it wrapped. Also a common question was "Do you think it looks expensive enough?" Ha...
After my project on Coco Chanel I have been fascinated by the woman and brand that she created so working for the exclusive company has taught me many lessons. It has been hard work but it has been great to earn some money of my own, not that there is much left of it! and my confidence has been given a big boost which is always great so all in all my first ever paid job has gone well.
As I remove my badge for the last time in 2009 the year is almost over and I hope it has been as good to you as it has me, may next year be prosperous for us all!

Hazy pale straw colour with a medium creamy white head. Poor head retention.
Lightly fruity. Slightly spicy. Mild witbier aromas. No melon. Still good.
Wonderful. Moderate watermelon flavour with soft wheat notes underneath it. Quite tasty. Very drinkable.
Really soft and creamy. Medium-light body with moderately high carbonation. Good.
Solid. Good fruit flavour and the underlying beer works well.
Serving type: on-tap

Pours a pale straw champagne colour, steady bead, again champagney. Head is white, foamy, decent. Looks decent hefeweizeny.
Smells spicy, slightly phenolic. Kid of Belgian. Hint of fruit. Dusty, fairly earthy. Nice character but simple and to style, could use more fruit.
More fruit notes on the palate. Pleasant watermelon character comes through, notes of pink lady midway before mild peppery spice and earth on back. Decent blend from fruit to bitter back. Not amazing, but has pleasant notes. Surprisingly subdued and subtle from Moon Dog, in a good way.
Slight fizz, but fills the mouth OK. Decent texture.
Delivers what it promises, not any more. Decent.

From Beer Cartel.
A - cloudy gold straw. Massive pillowy three finger head with large bubbles. Fades after a while
S - melon, wheat, slight dough.
T - more rock melon than watermelon and somewhat sweet. Lots of wheat and Hefe notes. Hint of tartness but overpowered by fruit.
M - light zesty, bubbles almost like soft drink. Mineral water aftertaste. Tops for style.
O - not the best offering and previous bottles had more watermelon floaties on them. Still solid tho, and a very refreshing drop.

Pours a cloudy white yellow with good head/lacing. Could well be a berlinner.
Smell is wheat, little funk, little lactic, bit of the fruit (I think the lime is more present than the watermelon). Fruit is kind of funky and rockmelon-y. There's also some more pleasant fruit notes floating around.
Taste is fruity, wheaty, lil sour.
Mouthfeel has the mint and still has the lime, less of the watermelon but you could say it adds a sweetness (and this may well all be the power of suggestion anyway).
Enjoyable beer, quite similar in profile to the previous ones in the series really, but possibly a little less sour if memory serves correctly.

Drank from my Ciney sniffer
A - Pours a pale lemon cloudy colour with a white head that reduces.
S - Watermelon and sweet vanilla aromas
T - Watermelon is definitely present. On the back palate. The front palate is a classic hefe with some spice.
M - Light to medium body with medium carbonation. Just a little thin.
O - Very refreshing summer beer that I would have again.

This Hefe was brewed with bucketloads of watermelon,lime and fresh mint and a nice muggy night calls for it,it pours a hazy pale straw hue with a white fluffy two finger head and some clingy lacing here and there,the smell is your typical Hefe with bananna and wheat but along with that I get the mint and watermelon too,the mouthfeel is light bodied,creamy and super sessionable with tastes first up of watermelons and lots of them followed by bananna,a touch of mint and lime and finished once again with a big hit of watermelon and overall I enjoyed this on this hot balmy night as it's very quaffable and I'd buy it again cheers.

Spotsy High recognized for Relay for Life efforts
Spotsylvania High School was just recognized for its fundraising efforts through the Relay for Life program.
A school representative shared that the school's goal the first year was to raise $24,000 but that it raised $42,000. The second year, the school raised $71,880, which is what earned it the recognition from the American Cancer Society.
This school year's relay will be held on April 20 with a fundraising goal of $76,500.
