text: The State Journal, Frankfort, Sept. 29, 2017Western Hills, Franklin County high schools graduation rates differ greatly By Alfred MillerOne of Mark Kopp's first acts as superintendent of Franklin County Schools this summer was to adopt a tweetable new motto: "#OneTeamFCS." But getting sometimes rival schools to act as a single team requires more than 140 characters — and it may start with fall break.For many students in the Franklin County Schools district, the first week of October represents a welcome respite from schoolwork. At Western Hills High School, it represents a time for those who are struggling to catch up.Before the start of every fall and winter break, Western Hills Principal Greg Roush sends out letters encouraging the parents of students who are failing to attend "remediation" — a kind of summer school on steroids that's squeezed into a week in October or April."If they come to fall-break remediation, they're not waiting until summer school six months down the road — it's fresh on their minds," said Roush, who uses Extended School Services (ESS) grants to compensate teachers for working through the break.Whether the program accounts for the stark difference between the graduation rates at Roush's school and Franklin County High School, which does not use the same approach, #OneTeamFCS may never know."I didn't know, honestly, about the Western Hills program," Kopp told The State Journal. "But that's great. I hope Franklin County can do something similar to that."While standardized test scores at Western Hills and Franklin County are roughly comparable, with Western Hills students having an edge in math and the American College Test (ACT) and Franklin County students leading in history, English and biology, graduation rates at Western Hills are markedly better.The four-year graduation rate at Western Hills rose to 93.8 percent last year from 93.2 percent the year before, while the four-year rate at Franklin County High School dropped to 80 percent from 81.1 percent, according to data released by the Kentucky Department of Education earlier this week."I want to sit down as this #OneTeamFCS, if there are things we can learn from the other side of town," Franklin County High School Principal Charles Lewis told The State Journal. "That's something we're moving toward in the future."Lewis is instead leading a program this year that pairs a select number of struggling seniors with teachers who keep an eye on their academic progress."Each of those kids has a mentor teacher who checks in with them periodically," said Lewis, who frequently monitors what his school's graduation rate would be if commencement were tomorrow.Socioeconomic factors could also be influencing graduation rates at the two schools. Some 47.22 percent of Franklin County's 1,027 students qualified to receive free and reduced lunch last year, compared to 36.92 percent of Western Hills' 826 students. Yet 66.37 percent of the 275 students at Frankfort High School — part of the Frankfort Independent Schools district — qualified to receive free and reduced lunch last year and it had a four-year graduation rate of 95.7 percent."We're doing everything we can to meet students where they are," said Kopp, emphasizing instead the atmosphere of learning that principals create."Our job is to create good citizens."

Band of BrothersDVD - 2002
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Rare to see big-budget big ensemble cast mini-series these days.
Dark & somber.
Tough love boot camp for the actors.
So well done and a great homage to the men who served. Brilliant and kudos to two amazing producers.
Terrific series which compels one to examine the differences between the society, mentality, and patriotism of the WWII era versus today. I would recommend that this series be viewed by high school seniors in order that they understand the sacrifices made so that they can live in peace and safety in our nation.
An excellent miniseries of American help freeing some of Europe. Superb acting, set up, scenery. The scenes of the labour camps and of Austria are horrifically real.
This movie will stay with you for a long time.
This is my most favourite show of all time. Band of Brothers gave me a strong love for military personnel and military history. I can barely put into words how much this show means to me (and yes, it does sound a little drastic, but still) of how it showed me the bond between brothers in arms. Thumbs up to Mr Hanks and Mr Spielberg for this amazing show. This is definitely a 10/10! Lest we forget. Nous Resterons. We Will Remain.
I've heard of 'Band of Brothers' but I wasn't interested in watching it for a while until my Uncle told me about it. Oh my goodness this is a good show! Yes just like any war film there is a lot of graphic scenes of war and tunes of cursing but it also captured the disappointment, fear, physical struggles and heart ache of world war 2. I also liked how each episode started with the actually men sharing about what that episode was about. There is also a great cast of actors, it seemed like everyone was in it! I really like the music too. This is worth watching.
This is a 2001 American-British war drama miniseries based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's 1993 non-fiction book of the same name.
The series dramatizes the history of the "Easy" Company (part of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division) from jump training in the United States through its participation in major actions in Europe, and up until Japan's capitulation and war's end.
The events portrayed are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans.
All of the characters portrayed are based on members of Easy Company.
Some of the men were recorded in contemporary interviews, which viewers see as preludes to each episode.
The men's identities are not revealed until the finale.
It is a 705-minute docu-drama, thorough which you might be able to experience the ugliness of the European war as a member of the Easy Company.
If I could, I would give this miniseries 10 stars. I am a lover of war movies and after hearing about this, I thought I'd check it out. I love how each episode focuses on one soldier, to get different point of views about the war. I love the bond that each men shared and I really enjoyed seeing the emotion in all of the actors. My favorite episode was episode 6, where the POV is on medic Eugene "Doc" Roe. Shane Taylor, the actor who plays the medic was excellent. I love the emotion he displays just with his stares. You realize he distances himself from everyone cause he is tired of watching men die at his hands as he tries to save them. If you're a WW2 junkie, or actually just anyone, I highly recommend watching this miniseries.
The best miniseries I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Fascinating look at the European theatre in WWII.

Brief: Read Simon Morley's essay 'Staring into the Contemporary Abyss'. Then choose any body of work (photographic project, cinema, literature, or any other medium) and explain how it relates to the sublime.
Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
Whilst I was reading Morley's essay, I was reminded of Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein. Having been inspired by both the Romantic and Gothic movements, her novel was first published in France in 1822. It told the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, whose experiments led to the creation of a monster. We feel pleasure in the fact that such an experiment could save us all from death, but also the ethical dilemma that digging up dead bodies and bringing them back to life just doesn't seem right.
In fact, Shelley uses the word 'sublime' several times in her novel, such as:
These sublime and magnificent scenes afforded me the greatest consolation that I was capable of receiving (Shelley, 1822: 289)
When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. (Shelley, 1822: 735)
The name 'Frankenstein' conjures up images of a green-skinned giant with stitched limbs and metal bolts protruding through it's neck. However, this is a common misconception. Frankenstein is the creature's creator. The monster is nameless. The very fact that it has no name amplifies the sheer terror and dread. The fear of the unknown. Even Shelley's decision to publish the first edition anonymously adds to the sense of dread.Morley referred to this as the negative-sublime. A name-less and faceless creature has been roaming the wilderness. Wild, and untamed, it hunts its master, in order to avenge its isolation.
Just as Morely referred to extreme events in nature as being evocative of the sublime, Victor Frankenstein was captivated by the awe and wonder of the thunder and lightning during a storm. It would be the flash of inspiration that he needed to attempt to resurrect his deceased mother. Morley's 'abyss' could be akin to the bottomless chasm of death that we are all faced with. Furthermore, the very fact that nature can be manipulated and that Victor Frankenstein can play God, by creating life, is in itself, sublime. The reader becomes aware that all it wants is to be loved - it is the very absence of this love that exacerbates the sublimity of the narrative.
Consumed by both fear and hatred, Victor Frankenstein believes that his only option is to destroy the very thing that he has been desperate to achieve. It would mean he would be unable to bring his mother back to life. The fact that the creature is manmade, suggests a technological sublime. The young scientist almost effortlessly appeared to accomplish something which no other has been able to achieve. To resurrect the dead.
Ever since Shelley's novel, Frankenstein has been reinvented and resurrected in many different forms, for example in films and paintings. Even the name 'Frankenstein' has been associated with genetically modified crops - which have filled people with a sense of terror and dread.
Shelley, M. (1822) Frankenstein.

Perth is now Australia's most expensive city and the tenth priciest to live in worldwide, according to a recent study by Numbeo.
This is something I've experiences first hand, but it didn't become as obvious to me until my recent trip to China and Poland where a 500ml can of full strength beer from a supermarket cost $1AUD and restaurant dinners with drinks came in below $10AUD per person. My friends and relatives could not comprehend that it was normal in Perth to hand over $10AUD for a pint of beer and not receive a cent in change. That got me thinking.
The fact that I managed to save a substantial sum of money on food whilst on holiday shocked me. So what I've done to combat the ever growing cost of eating out I've thrown together a list of popular Perth meals for $10 or less. Because everyone deserves to enjoy an out-of-home meal every now and then.
- Alfred's Kitchen (Guildford) Pea & Ham Soup – $6.00 Large $4.00 Small
- Alfred's Kitchen (Guildford) Various burgers including – $9.90 Hamburger Cheese Bacon
- Ankara Kebabs (Inglewood) $10 Chicken Kebab

- Benny's Bar & Café (Fremantle) Wednesday – $10 Parmigiana
- The Harbour Terrace (Hillarys) Wednesday – $10 5 Pizza Selection
- Left Bank (East Fremantle) Friday [5-9pm] – $10 Pizza and Pint
- Left Bank (East Fremantle) Tuesday [from 11:30am] – $10 Mussels with chilli tomato sauce and Turkish bread

Richard Stearns,
World Vision President,
Disaster, gender, food and economic Programs,

President World vision

World Vision – food, gender, economic and disaster response programs [pic]
MasterCard foundation microfinance program
Submitted on: March 29th, 2012
Executive summary
Communities living in the marginalized areas of the world encounter high economic risks that are caused by prevalence of unforeseen disasters for example hunger and civil wars. Although such disasters are seasonal, the communities suffer losses in terms of their livelihood and most of the time accompanied by loss of lives. This can be attributed to inadequate organizational skills, poor planning, and poor strategies of mitigation and inaccessibility of markets. In such cases, World Vision proposes to establish strategies that will mitigate the economic risks through increased opportunities in terms of livelihood to the children and families living in poverty and unjust environments all over the world. The initiative will capacity build the communities in economic risks assessments, strategies to cope through adaptation and increasing the opportunities that provide livelihood via production of quality products, proper planning, improving market accessibility and enhancing collective performance of work. The grant will fund projects that utilize the subsector approach to promote new methods of agriculture, enhance insurance of the community and promote cooperation among community members with the main focus being on the participation of children and women. In the event of implementing such an intervention, it is believed that the community will be at par with new ways that will enhance sustenance of their livelihoods.
Proposal statement
Low income and marginalized communities are largely vulnerable to ever increasing economic risks besides encountering hardships from events such as civil wars and natural disasters[1]. Most of the marginal areas are usually located in inaccessible areas where diversity in ethnic groups sparks conflicts on many occasions. Coupled with complex geographical features, the areas are also susceptible to environmental pressures that results in of natural disasters occurrences. These occurrences have had severe outcomes on human survival since they disrupt human settlement patterns, lives, environmental conditions and most of all, their economic dependencies. Poverty and unjust practices are common and children and women are the hardest hit groups. These catastrophic and periodical events in many instances heighten the group's vulnerability where fractures occur with regard to their sources of livelihood, as their sustainability practices are undermined[2]. The groups also have the tendency of adopting unsustainable activities in terms of income...

Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws.
– Amschel Rothschild
Perhaps the single most important thing to know about power in the world today is that most nations do not have control over their own currencies. Instead privately owned, for-profit central banks – such as the Federal Reserve Bank in the US – create money out of nothing and then loan it at interest to their respective governments. This is an incredibly profitable scam, but that's not the worst of it.
Not only do the central banks have...

American foreign policy as a state sponsor of terrorism in response to terrorism operates now with a decidedly genocidal logic.

"I want Hunger Games to stir up a revolution," explains Canadian actor and longtime leftie activist Donald Sutherland in a recent interview with "The Guardian." And he isn't kidding.

"You know the young people of this society have not moved in the last thirty years," he observes. "They have been consumed with telephones....

As a Vermonter who lived out West for 10 years in my twenties, I have been a loyal HCN subscriber since 1992 - excellent newspaper - and was pleased to read Krista Langlois' fine article about secession in your new issue. Since I was quoted a bit out of context, here are a few additional observations. I hope you will publish them.

'Kids today don't know how to write a clear sentence, lack knowledge of history and don't even know when the Civil war occurred!'"

Only America Can Save the World (For Itself?): Defense Secretary offers clues to America's contradictory policies

Global security begins in Washington, where the secretary of defense says that American isolationism is a bigger threat to the rest of the world than American hubris and that's why "we must remain the world's only global leader." If that sounds confused and contradictory, it's only because that's who we are as a government in the early 21st century.

Where else on TV will you find a fictionalized dive into (in no particular order) C.I.A. intrigue, PTSD's impact on war veterans, sexting and teenage angst, drone warfare, Beltway family jockeying, Middle Eastern money laundering, and the spinning of super-secret spy and counter spy scenarios?

As I researched the banking system in Vermont for the public bank report I'm working on some interesting things emerged. What you mainly hear from people in power is "Don't change anything!

Liberals (democrats) have always been ok with big government and centralized power, so it's not surprising that they don't support Vermont sovereignty. They can't attack big business because then they will be called the dreaded socialist word. Conservatives have always espoused local control, ie: states rights. So what's...

Etude Baby Cream
My friend Joyce gave one sachet to me one day and she said it is really nice to the face. Aside as it is nice, it is also even affordable. She gave me one sachet to try it. And yes she is right, the baby cream of etude lasts long and it gives comfort to your cheeks, you won't get oily the whole day even you don't use pressed powder or foundation at all. I already finished one sachet and I bought another pack for only P75.00. The only problem with sachet is that it gets messy in your bag if you bring it with you so what I do is that I just leave it at home since one apply to my face is enough for the day.

World is full of surprises and adventures. We need to be prepare to face them with the best of our efforts. So, Safety is the most important criteria of our task. ITS TRAVEL GROUP operate tours in so many countries around the globe. we listen to governmental advice about travel warnings, political instability or natural disasters from time to time and our contacts on the ground to make the most informed decisions when assessing the potential risks of every situation.
The FCO Travel Advice Service provides information to travelers about potential dangers that may exist in certain destinations. It is the same advice that we often use when deciding if we should cancel or alter a tour because of any recently-developed problem.
However, while we give the highest regard to this advice we are not necessarily bound by it, and at times tours may continue to operate in countries that the FCO has advised against traveling to. Although not exclusively, the main reason for this is because as a government office the FCO has to provide advice for all level of tourist and must err heavily on the side of caution. While we would never put clients' safety in jeopardy, there are times where our local operators with good local knowledge mean that certain FCO warnings don't always apply..

on salted caramel frosting.
12 comments:
Ooooh I want! I don't care for making my own frosting either, but since you're now so good at it, you can make mine for me, haha. I'll take salted caramel anything - love the stuff.ReplyDeleteReplies
haha - yes, what a deal!Delete
Get in mah belly. Now.ReplyDelete
mmm this looks heavenly. I have yet to find a homemade frosting I like, so I will probably be trying this!ReplyDeleteReplies
right? glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. this one and the other one I linked to are my faves so far.Delete
I've had the most luck with cream cheese type homemade frostings. I think the cheese contributes to the thickening and therefore the whole thing requires less powdered sugar.ReplyDelete
I am such a sucker for caramel. This sounds delicious. Please share again once you've perfected the recipe because you're right, brown sugar is probably the king of the sugars in my book as well.
BROWN SUGAR! I eat that goodness by the spoonful.ReplyDelete
Once I made from-scratch red velvet cupcakes and I was so proud of myself. Homemade frosting and everything: http://dearfriendblog.com/2012/03/red-velvet-cupcakes/
thanks for sharing this recipe nannerburns! (and yes, brown sugar foreverrrrrrrrrr).Delete
Besides my crap baking skills, I hate making icing because I cringe at the amount of badness it contains. I usually end up halving the butter and sugar and ending up with something that isn't icing at all. Salted caramel has really only started appearing in shops here the last few months and I have to admit that I am on the fence about whether I like it or not... guess I have to keep trying it :)ReplyDeleteReplies
oh man - you are so better than me - those are the things i love about it!Delete
oh goodness this sounds delicious! I don't make cakes often, therefore I don't make homemade frosting much. But this is a frosting I could get behind! Salted caramel anything is always a winner.ReplyDeleteReplies
the salted caramel chocolate chip cookie bars you linked to today are near the top of list for me to make next - look so delicious.Delete

It is very cold here in Paris, but to be expected in January, I guess. However, a wooly infinity scarf wrapped 'round and 'round keeps one as warm as possible. Cotton fabric, and some mesh-y stuff for the scarf.

This is very lovely - very ethereal in a wintery way. The fabric looks satiny, not cotton. And I love the negative image print. I would wear this outfit in a heartbeat.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Eileen. The fabric is just beautiful---but just cotton from the quilting store in Woodstock, NY.Delete

Necropsies on two killer whales that died after spending weeks in an Alaska river have provided no obvious reasons for why the animals died.
Veterinarians on Wednesday completed a necropsy on a second killer whale found dead in the Nushagak River.
Two adult female whales were found dead in the river on Saturday, and a third whale, a juvenile, hasn't been seen since. The necropsy on the first whale showed she was pregnant.
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service says over 100 samples were taken from the whales for analysis in hopes of providing a clearer picture of why they died.
The agency says it is the first time that killer whales were reported in fresh water in Alaska.

There's nothing quite like slush in the course of the hot summer season climate. However did you recognize that you could lead them to at domestic with absolute ease, without the help of an pricey slush device?There's an entire lot of groovy technological know-how concerned, however grant does a first rate activity of breaking things down grade by grade in order that we can follow alongside. The cease end result appears ridiculously yummy. But a warning… don't go away your soda too lengthy within the freezer or else it could explode (in my view, I wouldn't do that with a glass field and that i'd also live away from steel cans)!

Focus Insights provides you with an enhanced ability to recruit, manage and develop your people based on knowledge and appreciation of individual behaviours, motivators (or values) and personal skills. In utilizing Focus Insights assessments, you come to understand that the How (behaviours), the Why (motivators) and the Will (personal skills) of an individual, come together to make them unique.
The fact is there are no right or wrong, or good or bad assessments – there are incredible strengths associated with every profile we see. The Focus Insights science lies in matching these strengths to the 'right' job, and in identifying opportunities for development in an individual that can make them more effective and successful in their roles. Focus Insights will work with you to establish the link between the unique requirements of a job, and the unique talents of 'best-fit' individuals. The result will be a happier, more engaged employee, higher productivity, reduced attrition and absenteeism, and less stress in the workplace.
Our Behaviours (DISC), Motivators (Values) and Personal Skills assessments can be administered at any stage of the candidate review process or employee life cycle. Building awareness and appreciation of the benefits that profile diversity brings to your team and company is key to self-discovery, team-building and leadership success."
Our Process
We have designed a 5 step process to maximize your use of assessments as a powerful tool in hiring new employees, optimizing personal performance and achieving business results.
1. Role Benchmarking – We'll create a custom Job Benchmark of key roles in your organization to help make accurate selection and retention decisions. Your Job Benchmark will establish the ideal standards for hiring and for coaching and developing existing employees.
2. Validate the Job Benchmark – Your top-performing employees will be asked to complete an assessment to identify key characteristics related to excellent and sub-par performance. From this data we'll produce a job versus talent comparison report to determine critical performance factors and validate the Job Benchmark.
3. Incorporate new behaviours, motivations and attributes into the existing recruitment model – We'll recommend a recruitment model for screening, assessing and selecting top performers based on Job Benchmarks. This ensures that key success factors as developed in the Job Profile are incorporated within each phase of the recruitment process for new hires.
4. Assess future candidates and compare candidate results to the Job Benchmark – After creating a Role Benchmark, you can use our TriMetrix™ or Talent Insights Personal Talent Assessments to assess potential candidates or existing employees.
5. Internal Certification – Focus Insights will conduct a behaviours, motivators and personal skills certification workshop that will provide key personnel the skills to understand our Assessment Theories, Personal Talent Reports and the Job Reports. Our program certifies key personnel to administer the individual assessment tools within your organization and qualifies them for a Corporate Account for immediate access to assessment results.

PLOT AT ICONIUM (ACTS 14:1-7). Iconium was a city well located at an important crossroads on a fertile fruit and grain producing plain of Galatia. It was about 90 miles from Pisidian Antioch. Iconium was so ancient it claimed to be older than Damascus.
A great number of Jews and Gentiles believed at Iconium when the duo preached in the Jewish synagogue. But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. So the Lord authenticated their message with miraculous signs and wonders. The city became divided and there was a plot to mistreat and stone the two Pioneers. However, they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, where they continued to preach the good news.
At some stage during this expedition, Paul became bodily ill and he may have developed poor eyesight from the illness. His disease gave him a repulsive appearance (Galatians 4:13-15).

Since 2017 has come to an end, it's time for a quick summary! For us, it was a time of development that ended with a great number of unforgettable stories. Many things have happened during these twelve months and we'd like to thank our clients, partners and our amazing team of professionals.
During the past year, we began new collaborations with growing companies from Poland like Photon, InMotion, eDrop, KeepyLife or the Polish leader in lean transformation — Leanpassion. Our team took part in preparing three interesting attractions for HistoryLand — an interactive center in Cracow.
Summer's team is constantly growing, so in March we moved to a bigger creative workspace. Now you can find us at the Longinus Center. Along with more square footage we gained the laboratory expansion, the improvement of measurement and pre-certification capabilities. Additionally, we created a specially dedicated room for 3D printing. Overall, we have enough space to create specialized solutions, conduct tests and spend time in the positive and inspiring environment.
Not only did we move into a brand new headquarters in Cracow, but our dream of a new office in New York became reality. Hence, in the near future company's sales and customer service department will be contacting you from the U.S.! We can't wait to collaborate with other international partners across the globe and continuously grow the company's market position.
Over forty individuals cooperate at Summer to deliver the best experiences possible. Thirty technology enthusiasts joined us throughout the year and we see no slowing down in sight!
'We're still developing and reaching new destinations, that's why we decided to introduce changes and create new teams in the company's structure. We are currently at the stage of setting and implementing processes that will enable us to scale our business model and grow by another 60 employees'- says CEO Kamil Sumera.
Moreover, we have been hard at work on two of our daughter companies: First11 and Altlight. In the investment round, First11 gained support in the amount of PLN1.2 million, while the Altlight company was supported by the Innoventure fund with a total amount of PLN1.5 million.
It was an amazing experience to develop projects within two different sectors-sports wearables and smart home. The challenges we faced during the creation process of both companies enriched our scope of capabilities and a whole new toolset. With the acquisition of this indispensable knowledge, we're perfectly aware on what things we should concentrate in order to meet our clients' needs.
As for financing and investing, Summer was the main sponsor of the Hardware Massive Conference in 2017. We shared our experience in the field of product development at one of the biggest hardware-focused event in CEE!
Also, at the beginning of the past year, we started investing in Neurowatch — the first diagnostic and therapeutic device on the MedTech market.
Last year we also set up a venture capital fund: TECH-IMPACT FUND with
capitalization valued at PLN45 million. In the next three years, we plan to invest in 12 projects from the IoT sector.
This past year was extremely promising for us. We're proud of all partnerships that started in 2017 and thankful for the success we accomplished together. Our team entered the year full of optimism and motivation so we're all looking forward to what 2018 brings us!

The Wild Card Round of the 2013 NFL Playoffs is in the books, so it is now time for Round 2, the Divisional Round. This is the round where the Big Boys come out to play after the top two seeds in each conference had last week off. The next few weeks should feature some of the most heavily wagered on single events across all North American sports this year, culminating of course with the Super Bowl in Piscataway, and we will be here every week with our NFL Picks.
The Wild Card Round was all about road teams and underdogs, as the visiting squads went 3-1 straight up and the teams that closed as underdogs went 3-0-1 ATS. Interestingly, three of the four wild card games last week were regular season rematches, and as fate would gave it after those wild card results, three of the four games in this week's Divisional Round are also rematches!
For the first time all season, we went heavier on totals this week as our selections are comprised of three totals and only one side, with the totals composed of two 'unders' and one 'over'. As has become our custom, all NFL odds come from Pinnacle Sports.
Saturday, January 11th
New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks 'under' 45 (-110): The Saints proved that they could win in the elements after winning in the cold at Philadelphia last week 26-24 on a field goal by the recently signed Shayne Graham on the final play of the game. So as a reward, New Orleans now gets to take on the team with the best record in football at a venue where it almost never loses for the second time this season. And the regular season visit by the Saints to Seattle was not pretty as the Seahawks romped 34-7 with Drew Brees having his worst game of the year, completing only 23-of-38 passes vs. for 147 yards vs. the best passing defense in the NFL. On top of that, Brees will have to improve on that in inclement conditions with the forecast calling for a 98 percent chance of rain and 25 MPH winds Saturday afternoon. The good news there though is that the weather should affect both clubs, and do not forget that while the New Orleans defense is not in the Seattle atmosphere, it is very good in its own right ranking an identical fourth in the NFL in both total defense (305.7 yards per game) and scoring defense (19.0 points). Granted Saints' running back Pierre Thomas is expected to miss another game after sitting out last week with a chest injury, but former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram finally showed a pulse in the NFL by rushing for 97 yards on 18 carries vs. the Eagles. So while Brees is probably the New Orleans MVP, at least the Saints have a defense and running game to support him now, so not every game has to be a shootout.
Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots 'under' 51½ (-109): This posted total could be an overreaction to what the Colts did last week, when they overcame the second biggest deficit in NFL Playoff history by coming back from a 38-10 deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 45-44! Add in Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on the opposite sideline, and you get this lofty total that these teams certainly have to go 'over', right? Well, in the immortal words if NCAA Football analyst Lee Corse, "Not so fast my friend!" Just like the game in Seattle, weather can become a factor here with a 90 percent chance of rain and 30 MPH winds. Much like Drew Brees, Colts' quarterback Andrew Luck does his best work in his climate controlled home dome, but unlike Brees, Luck does not have a solid running game to support him with Trent Richardson turning out to be a major bust. Thus, the Colts will call on Luck to win this game for them, but you can bet that New England Coach Bill Belichick will game plan to take away wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, just as he always game plans to take away the opponent's biggest threat. So Luck will most likely be forcing throws to secondary receivers in less-than-ideal weather conditions, which does not sound like a recipe for matching last week's Indianapolis offensive performance at home. Of course the Patriots are capable of scoring on anyone when they are fully healthy, but they are not with tight end Rob Gronkowski the rest of the year and wide receivers Aaron Dobson (foot) and Kenbrell Thompkin (hip) both banged up but expected to play.
Sunday, January 12th
San Francisco 49ers PICK (-108) over Carolina Panthers: This looks like the best matchup of the week, so it is a shame that this is the early 1:00 ET game on Sunday. Nonetheless, the second seeded Panthers come in having won 11 of their last 12 regular season games including a 10-9 win over these 49ers in San Francisco, while the Niners survived inhumane wind chills to win 23-20 at Green Bay last week on a last second field goal by Mason Crosby. Now, some people questioned why the 49ers opened up as favorites here on the road vs. a two-seed with a great defense that already beat them in their own stadium, but not only do we agree that the 49ers should be favored, but we actually feel that with this line close to a Pick'em, San Francisco is one of the best bets in the NFL all year! We are not concerned about the loss to the Panthers around mid-season because the 49ers were doing just fine and were up 9-0 until Vernon Davis was injured and lost for the game. This time Colin Kaepernick has a healthy Davis and also Michael Crabtree at his disposal, not to mention the San Francisco leading receiver this year in the steady Anquan Boldin. The 49ers may be one of the two best teams in the entire NFL when at full strength as they basically are now, and we have not even touched on the enormous edge in post-season experience they have over the Baby Panthers. Carolina does indeed have a nice defense and a great future, but this is not yet the Panthers' time with most of their players including Cam Newton making their first ever playoff starts.
San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos 'over' 54 (-110): These teams met four weeks ago when a desperate Chargers' team needing to win out its games to make the playoffs came here to Denver on a Thursday night and upset a Broncos' team with basically nothing to play for with the top seed in the AFC all but sewn up 27-20, handing Denver its only home loss of the season. Well, this is obviously another must-win for the Chargers, but unfortunately the same applies to the Broncos this time too, who also welcome back Wes Welker after he missed the last quarter of the season with a concussion. Thus, we should see the real Broncos this week, the team that led the NFL in scoring (37.9 points per game) and total offense (457.3 yards per contest) under the guidance of the league MVP Peyton Manning at quarterback. However, the Chargers are also capable of scoring points in this game vs. a Denver defense that was horrible this year when playing without Von Miller, and he has been lost for the season with a torn ACL. The Broncos finished 27th in the NFL in passing defense, which is music to the ears of Philip Rivers after a resurgent season that saw him pass for nearly 4500 yards while completing 69.5 percent of his passes and averaging a very good 8.2 yards per attempt with 32 touchdown passes vs. just 11 interceptions, his lowest interception total since 2009.
NFL Betting: 4-Pack of Playoff Divisional Round Value Picks
The Wild Card Round of the 2013 NFL Playoffs is in the books, so it is now time for Round 2, the Divisional Round. This is the round where the Big Boys come out to play after the top two seeds in each conference had last week off. The next few weeks should feature some of the most heavily wagered on single events across all North American sports this year, culminating of course with the Super Bowl in Piscataway, and we will be here every week with our NFL Picks.

A pair of louts stabbed a guy and stole his cash on Myrtle Avenue on Nov. 28, police said. The 63-year-old victim told police he was walking near Washington Park at about 10:30 am when the two nogoodniks came up to him, and the first put his hand on his shoulder and then removed $152 in cash from his pocket, according to authorities. The second malefactor then tried to knife him when he told the baddies he had no more money, but he put up his hand to block the blade and wound up getting cut, officials said. The ruffians then threw him to the ground, and he hit his head, police said.
A jerk broke into a woman's Saint James Place home on Nov. 30 and stole her jewelry and electronics, police said.
Some baddie broke into the apartment through the front door between Greene and Gates avenue sometime between 3:30 and 5:30 and swiped a Macbook Pro, diamond earrings, $100 bills, gold rings, and a speaker worth a total of $3,050, according to authorities.
Some weasel stole a woman's keys and the CitiBike she was using on Willoughby Street on Nov. 24, police said. The woman told police she dropped her keys somewhere with the key ring attached and used it to access the bike for unlimited usage near Hall Street at about 4 pm, when she later got an email that she was still getting charged for someone using the bike, officials said.
A goniff swiped a woman's wallet from her purse as she was on a G train near Lafayette Avenue on Nov. 28, police said. The scofflaw must have reached inside the 39-year-old woman's purse and grabbed her wallet aboard the Church Avenue-bound green bullet after she got on at the Classon Avenue station, police said. The woman hopped off near Fulton Street when she realized her bag was opened and her wallet with her driver's license, five credit cards, BJ's card, and Patrolmen's Benevolent Association card worth a total of $45 was missing, officials said.
Some sneak stole a woman's wallet at a DeKalb Avenue hospital on Nov. 29, police said. The 27-year-old said she dropped her wallet in the medical center near Willoughby Street at about 2 pm, with her Dominican Republic identification card, United States resident card, and two credit cards inside, and later got a call from one of the credit card companies that some baddie was charging them, according to authorities.
