Injury report for Saints-Falcons MNF game
Here is the injury report for the Week 16 Monday-night game, New Orleans at Atlanta, showing the status of each injured player.
Gonzalez has retirement thoughts
Tony Gonzalez recently became the first player in NFL history with 60 or more receptions in 12 consecutive seasons. His Falcons are 12-2 and appear to be on track to becoming the top seed in the NFC playoffs. Yet the ...
Road to Super Bowl for NFC teams should go through Atlanta
The team that was supposed to be shaky on the road probably isn't going to have to travel again this season, unless it advances to Super Bowl XLV in Dallas.
Ryan tosses three TDs, Falcons win eighth straight
Matt Ryan threw for 174 yards and three touchdowns, Jonathan Babineaux recovered a fumble for a touchdown and the Falcons wrapped up an NFC playoff spot with a 34-18 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Brayton fined for sideline hit
Panthers DE Tyler Brayton has been fined $15,000 for hitting an opposing gunner while Brayton was on the sideline.
Run 'D,' Lofton's knee concerns for Falcons
While the team is happy with his performance, we hear Falcons MLB Curtis Lofton hasn't been satisfied with his play of late, and one team observer said Lofton's long bout with a knee injury is a lingering concern.
2010 NFL playoff scenarios for Week 15
The NFL has released the possible playoff scenarios heading into the Week 15 games.
Dominant Patriots separating from pack
New England, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and New Orleans are the four best teams in the NFL, writes PFW's Hub Arkush, who says nobody is playing at the Patriots' level right now.
Turner quietly on track for huge fantasy rebound
His name hasn't been mentioned often this season but Michael Turner is playing like he did in 2008. In other words, he's having a monster fantasy campaign.
Falcons roll past Panthers 31-10
Michael Turner ran for 112 yards and three touchdowns, Matt Ryan threw for another and the Falcons maintained their grasp on the best record in the NFC with a 31-10 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.
Falcons ORT Clabo driving up his price heading toward free agency
Falcons ORT Tyson Clabo was already considered a tough mauler in the running game heading into the season and he appears to be getting more comfortable against pass rushers, according to a team observer.
Falcons CB Grimes responding when QBs test him
While Dunta Robinson is the much more highly paid and widely recognized cornerback in Atlanta, the team's other starting corner, Brent Grimes, looked like the Falcons' best corner Sunday in their win over the Buccaneers.
Falcons win back-and-forth game over Bucs
Eric Weems scored on a 102-yard kickoff return and Matt Ryan threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Michael Jenkins as the Falcons rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Buccaneers 28-24 on Sunday for their sixth straight victory.
Falcons not disappointed with CB Robinson
While he has given up a couple big plays since returning from the concussion he suffered in a collision with Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, Falcons CB Dunta Robinson seems to have the full support of his head coach.
QB Ryan's accuracy helped Falcons top Packers
Matt Ryan took what the Packers' defense gave him, dinking and dunking Green Bay to pick up first downs, and he was rewarded for that approach.
The Atlanta Falcons activated Peters from the reserve injured list Friday.||||||| Peters, a third-round draft pick in 2010, has started 30 of 31 career games for Atlanta. He has been sidelined since May because of a stress fracture in his left foot. Peters is likely to work behind Peria Jerry when the Falcons (6-0) visit Philadelphia (3-3) on Sunday.
Peters, a starter the last two seasons, returned for limited activity Monday in his first practice this season.||||||| Peters, on the reserve injured list with a stress fracture in his left foot, will be eligible to make his season debut on Sunday at Philadelphia.
The Atlanta Falcons placed starting defensive tackle Corey Peters on the injured reserve list and waived third string quarterback John Parker Wilson on Sunday.||||||| Peters missed all of training camp and preseason with a left foot injury. The earliest Peters can return is Oct. 28 at Philadelphia. He must sit out the first six games. Peters, a third-round pick from Kentucky in 2010, started 30 of his 31 games over the past two years. Peria Jerry is starting at nose tackle to replace Peters, who has 73 tackles, four sacks, one interception, one fumble recovery and three passes defensed in his career.
Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith said Monday that Peters will not participate this week when the Falcons practice this week in Jacksonville and play the Jaguars in a preseason game on Friday.||||||| Peters was injured in practice Sunday and had to be carted off the field, but the team doesn't believe the knee was structurally damaged.

So you have your suitcases laid out for everyone in the family, now the question is what to bring? You already know that your whole house won't fit in the car. But no need to worry, follow these helpful hints and packing should be a breeze.
Stay organized, lists are a perfect way to keep control. Keep lists for each member of the family, this will prevent any confusion in what you have packed and what you need to pack.
For the Children:
You may think that you need everything but if you are really crunched for space, don't pack anything that you can buy at your destination. Maybe you really don't need that 100 pack of diapers, 24 might suffice for the beginning of your travel.

Let it never be said that I was ever ungrateful for BJs. Thanks to their efforts last night, beating Detroit 4-2, a regulation or overtime win tonight will clinch the Central Division for the Blues. There is never much trouble in getting revved up for a Chicago game, but any extra motivation is certainly a good thing. The Blackhawks are clinging to 93 points and the 6th seed in the Western conference. They hold a 6-point lead on the 7th and 8th seeds, but nothing is guaranteed for the postseason. They need every point that they can get, which could make them desperate and potentially dangerous. Remember, Anaheim didn't really have anything to play for, either. As long as the Blues keep to their own game, all should end well.
I've tried to keep the gloating down to a minimum, but when it's the BlackHawks, it's sort of a lost cause. I think this just about sums it up.
Jesus Just Left Chicago / ZZ Top
The Enemy: Boy, does Chicago have problems. Their captain Jonathan Toews has missed 17 games with a concussion. He has began skating, but has not been cleared for contact yet, which probably means he has a little ways to go yet. Also not appearing tonight is their best D-man, Duncan Keith. He's enjoying some time off as a reward for elbowing a Sedin in the head. Goalie Ray Emery has been out with an Upper Body Injury, but could be returning as soon as tonight. A sore spot all year for Chicago has been their Power Play. The good folks at Second City use the term "clown shoes" (frequently). The 'Hawks have converted 15.3% all year, but specifically at home it is at 13.9% - 2nd worse in the league. It's bad. They haven't even registered a Shot On Goal during their last 8 Power Play opportunities (including a minute-plus of 5-on-3).
Despite all of this, the BlackHawks have put up a 6-2-2 record in their last 10 games, and have points in 4 of their last 5. Somehow, they've been getting it done. Overall scoring is led by Marian Hossa (29G/ 45A), and next is the goal scoring leader Patrick Sharp (30G/ 34A). Patrick Kane is right behind with 60 pts. The next two scoring spots are the absentee Toews and Keith. As for goaltending, I would expect Corey Crawford to start; his numbers this year are 2.75 GAA and .900 SV%. If Ray Emery comes back, that stat line would be 2.77 GAA and .900 SV%. Not much difference, either way.
Further Reading:
Final Verse: The puck drops tonight at 7:30 St Louis time. The broadcasts are on the usual outlets, FoxSports MW for TV and KMOX 1120 AM for the radio call. The GDT should drop shortly before the puck does. If it seems a little sparse in the GDT tonight, many of us are gathering at a Cousin Hugo's in Maplewood to watch the game. If you want to join us, come on down. We'll be easy to spot - look for the obnoxiously loud group. Until then, this is your pregame warmup. Gather here, warm up the Chicago-hate machine, dust off the Patty Kane jokes, and talk playoff matchups. In the meantime, here's a funny story about Kane and Toews:

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - A woman who served nearly three years in jail for taking $730,000 from her Vermont employer is heading back to prison for 10 months for covering up the sale of a Florida vacation home.
The Burlington Free Press reports 66-year-old Susan Emilo said she knew a court-imposed restitution order remained in effect, but instead opted to remodel a home in Myrtle Beach, S.C., using the proceeds of the Florida home sale in 2009.
The Emilos received $50,000 for giving up their half-share in the home in Rockwell Estates on Merritt Island.
Emilo was a part-time bookkeeper for an environmental consulting company in Lincoln. She was convicted of stealing money between 1992 and 2002. She pleaded guilty to mail fraud and other charges and went to prison in 2004.

I am reprinting Mathew Koehler's comment from 4&20, and he is quoting his friend Jeff Gibbs – co-producer and composer for "Bowling for Columbine," who had this to say about the most recent school shooting tragedy…"the 18th (!!) since Columbine":
"A world full of guns and empty of mental health care is, well, the hell we are living in. Violence is down? HAHAHA! Almost a thousand times more American's kill each other with guns than in other "civilized" nations. Time to grow up and stand up to the egoistic gun nuts. No one wants your guns, you're not that important. It's just that the rest of us don't want to live in a world in which blow-hard egoists carry guns to the mall, schools and sporting events. You stand almost zero chance of using that gun to stop violence. Far greater is the chance someone will use your gun to do terrible things in your own family. We don't want to live in a world in which your children take your guns and commit suicide, kill a family member, or massacre people which is exactly what happened yesterday and at Columbine. If you enjoy the gun toting lifestyle, move to Somalia, Juarez or join the Taliban. Or rent an island to play-pretend you live in the wild wild west with your buddies while the adults come up with some sensible laws here in what's left of America."

Get Exam Information
New Examination Applicants
Once you have completed the Application to Qualify, you must register for and take the online Notary Exam Pre-Assessment. When you have a score for the pre-assessment, you can register to take the state notary exam by filling out the Examination Registration. The deadline to register for the state notary exam is 45 days prior to the exam. Therefore, qualify and complete your pre-assessment well in advance.
Notary Pre-Assessment
The Secretary of State, in conjunction with LSU Office of Assessment and Evaluation, has made available a test that will aid in your decision to take the Louisiana Notary Exam. Act 610 of the 2014 Regular Session of the Legislature made this test mandatory.
This Notary Pre-Assessment is designed to help you make an informed decision about pursuing a notary commission in Louisiana. The work of Louisiana notaries is based on the laws as written in the Louisiana Civil Code and in the Louisiana Revised Statutes. The code, the statutes and the official study guide for the Louisiana Notary Public Examination are written at a reading level that corresponds to Level B on this assessment. Our research shows that the closer to Level A one scores, the greater one's likelihood of success on the exam. When considering the score you receive, you should note that each level is based on averages and thus provides a general estimate of one's reading comprehension ability.
Please note again that the score you receive is provided with the intent of helping you make an informed decision about pursuing a notary commission. Regardless of your score or indicated level on the pre-assessment, you are not prohibited from taking the Louisiana Notary Public Examination at any time of your choosing, and as many times as you like.
Once your Application to Qualify for Appointment as Notary Public has been approved, you can login and register for the Notary Pre-Assessment.
Commissioned Notary Examination Applicants
Act 793 of 2006 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature
To apply, the notary completes an Examination Registration Form and sends it to Secretary of State's office 45 days prior to the examination date along with the $75 examination registration fee.
Failure to pass the examination shall have no effect on the status of the commission of the notary.
Examination Schedule
Pursuant to Act 423 of the 2006 Regular Louisiana Legislative Session the Notary Examination will be administered by the Secretary of State on the first Saturday in June and December.
The Secretary of State's office must receive 45 days prior to the date of the examination the Application to Qualify with the qualifying fee of $25 and the Notary Examination Registration Form with a separate examination registration fee of $75
Examination Format for the June 7, 2014 Examination
For the June 7, 2014, Louisiana State Notary Public Examination, the component that required examinees to look up items in the Louisiana Civil Code (Research) is no longer part of the examination.
For this administration, the two components of the examination, General Knowledge and Scenario, will be administered in one five-hour sitting. To pass the examination, applicants must earn a passing score on both components. Applicants may take as much time as they choose on each component. The Scenario Component is broken out into two parts. Examinees who are taking both components will complete the General Knowledge Component first, followed by the Writing part of the Scenario Component, followed by the Critical Knowledge part. The same order will be followed by examinees taking any two parts of the test.
These times are recommended only; applicants may spend as much time as they choose on a part, not to exceed five hours for the entire testing period, including any breaks the applicant may elect to take between parts. Although applicants may use the time in any manner they choose, they must complete and turn in the materials for one part before proceeding to the next.
General-Knowledge Component
The General-Knowledge Component consists of items pertaining to information from the current (2014) edition of Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice (the Louisiana notary-public examination official study guide published by the Secretary of State). These items test the applicant's (1) knowledge of the material contained in, or referenced by, the study guide and (2) ability to comprehend and apply the information. No reference materials may be used on this part of the test. Using reference materials here constitutes cheating and is grounds for dismissal from the test.
Scenario Component
The Scenario Component, a performance assessment through which examinees demonstrate practical notarial ability, includes two parts: (1) a Writing part that requires candidates to demonstrate the ability to write basic notarial acts in proper form, and (2) a Critical Knowledge part that requires applicants to demonstrate critical understanding of specific notarial acts and related instruments by reading texts of scenarios that mirror notarial practice in Louisiana and responding to multiple-choice items based on the texts. To achieve a passing score on the Scenario Component, applicants must pass both parts within a three-year period, though not necessarily in a single sitting or administration of the Louisiana Notary Public Examination.
In the Writing part, with a recommended time of one hour and 15 minutes, applicants respond to a scenario that requires the applicant to demonstrate the ability to write basic notarial acts in proper form, including, but not limited to, acknowledgements, affidavits, authentic acts, and simple notarial testaments. In this part, the applicant, acting in the role of notary, will be required to complete a basic notarial instrument for a constituent. The instrument must be prepared in accordance with examination instructions and must (1) comply with applicable statutory requirements and directives, and (2) give *legal effect to the requests of the constituent as presented in the scenario. (It is assumed that the notary will appropriately deliver, file or record the completed documents.)
In the Critical Knowledge part, with a recommended time of three hours, applicants read scenarios in which constituents request the development of notarial instruments. In lieu of actually writing or developing the instruments, applicants respond to multiple-choice items pertaining to the notary's role in addressing the intent of the parties. Preparation for this part of the Scenario Component should focus on notarial acts and instruments associated with (1) the conveyance and mortgage of movable or immovable property; (2) notarial testaments; and (3) succession by affidavit; however, applicants should be knowledgeable of the inclusive list of notarial instruments and areas of concern presented on pages 575 to 578 of the official study guide.
For each part of the Scenario Component the applicant may use only the current (2014) edition of Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice (the Louisiana notary-public examination official study guide published by the Secretary of State), although it is not required. The pages existing in the study guide may be marked up, highlighted, or annotated in any way, but may NOT include inserted pages of any kind. Tabs of no more than 2-inches-by-two-inches may be used to mark a page in the study guide. No other type of attachment of any kind is allowed, whether glued, taped, stapled, or otherwise affixed to the book or overlaid into or on any pages of the book. No other resources may be used on this portion of the examination.
Sources of Examination Items
The June 7, 2014, examination will be drawn from the 2014 edition of the official study guide. Substantive information in earlier editions of the official study guide is no longer applicable to informed and accurate notarial practice.
Exemption from Specific Components
Applicants who pass any component or part of the test but fail to receive a passing overall score are exempted from the passed part for three years.
Important Examination-Day Information
Eating (including consumption of candy, gum, and breath mints), drinking, and the use of tobacco or reading materials are not permitted in the testing room. Other prohibited items include timers, cell phones, pagers, electronic devices of any kind, computers, PDA's, recording devices, media devices, textbooks, dictionaries, notes, and scratch paper. If an applicant is found with an electronic device at his or her desk at any time during the examination, or if the applicant uses any such device at any time during the test (including the break), he or she will be dismissed from the examination, no refund will be available, and the answer documents will not be scored.
Procedures for Review
La. R.S. 35:191.1 (A)(3) makes a provision for review of examinations.
Multiple-choice items
All multiple-choice items presented on the test are subjected to post-test statistical analysis that provides a basis for adjustments to the passing score for these components. Additionally, at the test administration, applicants may request a form on which they may challenge the validity of any item as written.
Scenario Component Writing Part
Any applicant who fails the writing part of the scenario component of the notary exam shall have the right to review his or her failing examination booklets and the representative good answers for the failed examination after formally notifying the LSU Office of Assessment and Evaluation, 51 Himes Hall, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or by certified mail. This request must be received within 30 days after the scores have been reported. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the request for review was received by LSU.
Applicants will be notified in writing or via email of the review date and time they will attend. A make-up review day also will be designated. All test reviews will take place on the campus of Louisiana State University on the specified dates. Applicants will receive an acknowledgement via email that they may print or, if the request is made by certified mail, an admission letter.
The day will be divided into 2 review sessions. Applicants must complete their review during one session only. No applicant will be allowed more than one review session. The review times will be from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. on the specified review dates. Applicants must sign a receipt for all examination booklets and representative good answers received for review.
No person other than the applicant will be allowed to review the materials or to participate in the review. Applicants will not be allowed to take notes or to copy or to remove any failed examination booklets or representative good answers. The applicant must return the examination booklet and representative good answers to the monitor before being allowed to sign out.
The initial reported score for the applicant's scenario examination response shall be final. Following the review dates, all failing scenario examination booklets may be destroyed. All scores are final and not subject to appeal. No cause of action shall arise in favor of an applicant as a result of the applicant's exercise of the review privilege.
*The term "legal effect" means that the provisions are stated clearly and concisely and that the intentions of the parties are stated in such a manner that a third party not related to the transaction can reasonably rely on the face of the document without the need for judicial intervention to interpret the intent of the parties to the document. A notarial document that either causes a cloud on the title or necessitates multiple interpretations of the document shall be deemed by the examiners "not to give legal effect" even if subsequently a court may interpret the document as the author intended.

Lockout limbo
About the Author

With NFL teams stuck in a state of limbo thanks to the lingering lockout, we are taking a tour around the league and looking at where teams stand as they await the opening of the 2011 league year. Today, we offer our take on where the Bengals stand.
Top three story lines
1. Will Carson Palmer relent and return as the Bengals' starting quarterback, or will he go through with his threat to retire? Should he elect to walk away from the Bengals, will the club trade him or will president Mike Brown continue to hold Palmer's rights? It's notable that head coach Marvin Lewis, in a conference call with season-ticket holders, reportedly said that Palmer will be the No. 1 quarterback if the veteran starter returns. The door remains open for Palmer, but whether he wants to walk through it again remains to be seen. If he does leave, rookie QB Andy Dalton is the favorite to start, and the speed of his development likely would tell the tale for the 2011 Bengals.
2. Many wonder if the Bengals' selection of Georgia WR A.J. Green with the No. 4 overall pick in April's draft signaled the end of the productive but quirky Chad Ochocinco's tenure in Cincinnati. Yes, Ochocinco's personality isn't for everyone, but he has been an above-average starter for a long time, and effectively and smoothly replacing him in 2011 isn't a complete slam dunk, not even by the very well-regarded Green.
3. Will the defense step up? With the Bengals installing a new scheme and potentially having to break in a rookie quarterback, uneven offensive play would not be a surprise, especially early in the season. If that happens, the Bengals' defense — so strong in '09 when Cincinnati won the AFC North but not as good last season — needs to take a page from division-rival Pittsburgh, which overcame a challenging beginning to the 2010 campaign thanks in large part to spectacular defensive play.
2011 free agency — whenever that happens
Unsigned players: RB Cedric Benson (6), OT Kirk Chambers (6), C Kyle Cook (3), WR Quan Cosby (2), DE Jonathan Fanene (6), TE Clark Harris (2), OLB Brandon Johnson (5), MLB Dhani Jones (11), CB Johnathan Joseph (4), TE Reggie Kelly (12), RB Brian Leonard (4), OG Nate Livings (3), OG Evan Mathis (6), S Chinedum Ndukwe (4), S Tom Nelson (2), WR Terrell Owens (15), QB Jordan Palmer (3), RB Cedric Peerman (2), CB Keiwan Ratliff (7), OT Dennis Roland (3), LB Dan Skuta (2), S Marvin White (4), S Roy Williams (9), S Gibril Wilson (7). (Editor's note: The number after a player's name is his years of service in the league. If the NFL decides to go with free agency under the same rules as used in 2010, then a player would become a restricted free agent after three years and an unrestricted free agent after six years.)
Analysis: If Joseph hits unrestricted free agency, he could find himself in demand, given the need for quality CB play. If that happens, will he price himself out of the Bengals' range? Joseph is an above-average player at a key position, and he could be tough to replace. Benson is very important to the offense — the Bengals don't have an ideal every-down replacement on the roster, and they likely would have to find another back in free agency if he were to depart. Benson seems to fit best with the Bengals; he re-established his career in Cincinnati, and he's most assured of a heavy workload in this offense. Owens is a long shot to re-sign even after a very productive season. He will be 38 in December, and he's not a fit with a club that could be going young at some of the key skill positions. Rey Maualuga could replace Jones in the middle. With Chris Crocker and Reggie Nelson expected to be the starting safeties, it will be interesting to see what the Bengals decide to do with Ndukwe, Williams and Wilson. Fanene and Johnson are key backups; could they get bigger roles elsewhere?
2011 rookie class
First-round WR A.J. Green (No. 4 overall) — Green is likely to be an immediate starter and could prove to be a difference maker in Year One. With an ideal combination of size and speed and very good hands, he should produce no matter who the quarterback is.
Second-round QB Andy Dalton (No. 35 overall) — Dalton could start from Day One if Carson Palmer refuses to play for Cincinnati. Dalton is smart, instinctive and competitive, and he should fit Jay Gruden's West Coast scheme well. The question is, does he have the arm strength and downfield accuracy to effectively stretch the field when needed?
Third-round OLB-DE Dontay Moch (No. 66 overall) — The speedy Moch will transition to linebacker in the Bengals' scheme and primarily contribute as a pass rusher. Moch has rare timed speed but doesn't always play that fast, and he needs to develop more pass-rush moves.
Fourth-round OG Clint Boling (No. 101 overall) — A tackle at Georgia, Boling will play inside in Cincinnati. He is versatile and instinctive but could stand to be more physical.
Fifth-round S Robert Sands (No. 134 overall) — Sands likely will be a backup strong safety in Year One. Sands is athletic, but his skills need more refinement.
Sixth-round WR Ryan Whalen (No. 167 overall) — Whalen will vie to be a reserve receiver. He is probably best in the slot.
Seventh-round CB Korey Lindsey (No. 207 overall) — Lindsey, who has good ball skills but lacks size and speed, will compete to be a reserve cornerback.
Seventh-round RB Jay Finley (No. 246 overall) — Finley has the speed to get to the outside. His best chance to stick on the roster is if the Bengals keep four running backs.
Lockout fallout: How impacted will the Bengals be by the work stoppage?
On a scale from 1 to 10, with one least-affected and 10 most-impacted, the Bengals rate a 9. If the lockout drags on, the Bengals could be compromised on a couple of fronts. For starters, they are changing offensive schemes. Also, they might be changing quarterbacks. A lockout dragging on into the summer — or longer — could limit their options if they decide to trade Palmer. The Bengals face a challenging set of circumstances in an abnormal offseason. That is far from ideal.

David Lee was only able to play about a minute in his inspirational return to the court in Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets, but he may be able to play a more significant role in the second round against the San Antonio Spurs, according to Carl Steward of the Contra Costa Times.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson said it was "possible" Lee could play more against the Spurs, even if it was just for a few minutes at a time.
"It depends on how he's feeling and what the doctors and training staff and everybody else says about it," Jackson said. "But he's excited about it, and if he's healthy, and he can give us something, I will certainly utilize those minutes properly."
Lee tore his right hip flexor in Game 1 against the Nuggets and was initially ruled out for the rest of the playoffs, but he made a surprise return to the court on Thursday. He took one shot and grabbed one rebound in 69 seconds of play in the first quarter before returning to the bench for the rest of the game.
Afterward, Lee said he returned because he wanted to be a leader and provide an extra lift in the crucial Game 6. He also said there was little extra risk to returning, as there's already a good chance he will need surgery after the season.
How effective Lee could be against the Spurs remains to be seen, but if he's physically able to play, he will. Golden State could certainly use all the help they can get against San Antonio, who easily brushed aside the Lakers in the first round.

Nothing lasts forever. Alabama's dynasty will fall. What might cause it?
"Everything was sort of fine until the bottom line, Texas gets the Longhorn Network, which Texas can do what they want to, that's their business," he said. "But if they're going to do that, I thought Texas A&M ought to do what's in their best interest, which I felt was to come to the Southeastern Conference."From Gene Stallings If it wasn't clear already, Gene Stallings has removed all doubt that Texas A&M's move to the SEC was entirely about the Longhorn Network.
Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione confirmed to the Tulsa World that the SEC has shown interest in the Sooners, but that OU will follow Texas.— Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) June 10, 2010
The Chattanooga Times Free Press's Wes Rucker (a very reliable guy) says that Oklahoma's AD Joe Castiglione told the Tulsa World about the SEC talking with OU about inclusion. No word on whether an official offer was extended (I highly doubt it), but Oklahoma has decided to follow Texas wherever it goes. So you can forget about the Sooners joining the SEC. The only possible Big 12 entrant into the SEC at this point appears to be Texas A&M, who may or may not have pledged unity with Texas and Texas Tech already. Gene Stallings is on Texas A&M's board and has been pushing hard for an SEC move, something he apparently confirmed to a Phoenix-area sports radio show today. So while the Tulsa World doesn't have anything on its website about OU and the SEC yet, it does repeat a report from TMZ that Oklahoma State is as good as gone to the Pac-10. OSU would only comfirm that its president will issue a statement later today. UPDATE: 2:23 PM Here's the quote from Castiglione: While Castiglione also confirmed that the SEC has shown interest in the Sooners, OU's position is that it's going to stick with Texas wherever the Longhorns go because of the long history between the two schools. "I think it would be a horrendous decision for OU and Texas to break up," Castiglione said. "We're going to stick together if it's at all possible." UPDATE 2:32 PM The Oklahoman's sources inside Oklahoma State (who I would believe far more than I would TMZ) say that not only is OSU to the Pac-10 not a done deal, but that OSU hasn't even talked to the Pac-10 and won't until Nebraska-to-the-Big-Ten becomes official and public. They have only heard from Texas officials that they'd be a part of any movement the Longhorns make, which makes it sound like Texas isn't as innocent as Chip Brown has been making it out to be. Another strike against TMZ's source: it believes the ultimate end game of conference expansion down the road is a playoff. Right.

This pours quite dark, as one would expect. I did experience hyperactive carbonation - it took 10 minutes to pour 1 bottle into my pint glass, waiting for the foam to settle. It finally did, and looked pretty good. The foam more than laced down the side, there was a foam coating on the side of the glass that adhered for quite a while as it crept down into the drink.
Smell is somewhat bitter chocolatey and inviting. Hints of malt and carmel.
Taste is more chocolate, some slight spice, bit of coffee, but quite a bit of malt too. It has a somewhat clean balance of hop at the end - it is not hoppy, but it is clean.
Mouthfeel is quite creamey and good. The foam remains as it slides down the back of the throat.
Body is slightly light for a porter, but it is robust enough to hold its own.
Finish is excellent too. It is just rich creaminess. A hint of hop dryness cleanses the pallette for more with no aftertaste at all.
I really like this porter, one of my favorites. I recommend at least trying this out if you find it.

Appearance This one poured extremely dark with a mild head that left a permanent swirly puddle in the middle. Cool.
Smell Oh, this is nice. The lightly-roasted malts are complimented with a plethora of aromatic notes. The deep, rich chocolate is dominant and followed by a subtle hint of espresso and mashed fruits such as apricots, Rainier cherries, and a smallish suggestion of orange.
Taste Boy, did this one deliver. I get a lot of Porters that look and smell the part but wimp out at the taste. This one, however, stands its ground.
The bittersweet flavors kick it up a notch and the hitherto undetected table sugar balances things out. The rest of the nose shows up here as well. Delicious.
Mouthfeel This Porter is medium-bodied its not a strong stouty interpretation and exceptionally smooth. I thought the wonderful balance of this brew was its strong point.
Drinkability It was truly a joy coming home from a long week at work on a Friday night and getting this bottle in the BIF 5.0. Big BA kudos goes out to qarre for the package and for setting up this BIF.

For a porter, this i a really clear beer. It is dark brown with a thin manilla-folder colored head and smells of sweet milk chocolate, earthy cops, and caramel. Those earthy hops hit first in the taste, followed by astringent grain, sweet tea, slight roasted grain, and dark toffee. This is all much better than it sounds. I find this porter fairly unconventional but tasty none the less. Mouthfeel is not watery but is too light for my tastes. Needs oomph.

2.75/5 rDev -22.5%
On tap at the Bloomington brewpub. Served in a 16oz. shaker pint.
Pour is stand porter pour, deep nearly pitch black with a khaki colored head. Medium long retention with a healthy amount of lacing.
Aroma is very muted and light. Some mild coffee but overall seemingly watery.
Taste starts off with a little astringent roasted grain taste, then some dark fruit plumish esters finish off the taste. Mouthfeel is very thin and watery, nearly no body and a medium high carb level does not help it's cause. No glaring off flavors but it's just an average at best porter, just too watery tasting.

Presentation: 12 oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
Appearance: Lean lacing from a somewhat weak head, nearly full on black in color.
Smell: Suggestions of vanilla and creamed coffee. Touch of acrid roasted grain.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Smooth with a quick undertow of crispness in the medium body. Light maltiness with more roasted / burnt character for the palate to deal with, slow draw on the hop bitterness with a smidge of flavor in the end. Faint suggestions of vanilla and dark fruit middle to end, roasted grain and dry in the finish.
Notes: This is a stand up porter, well made and a joy to drink. Middle of the road, yes but still flavorful.

I've had this one a few times and have found it wildly inconsistent. This review is based on the latest sixpack I tried. After a full glass of creamy tan foam subsides, the body appears a clear dark mahogany. The huge head hangs around for several minutes and deposits gobs of sticky lace. Aroma is quite pleasant, with lots of dark roasty notes of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Significant nuttiness seems to be almond and hazelnut. Mouthfeel is medium, but way overcarbonated for style. Taste has a predominant dark bitter roastiness that mirrors the aroma. Coffee, dark chocolate, and some nuttiness, but there is a slight acrid character that detracts. Hard to define a hops presence. At its best, this is a topnotch Porter, but at its worst it's difficult to finish. I wish Upland would get this one straightened out.

12 ounce bottle, with brewed on month/year notched onto the label. Pours the expected dark mahogony amber, slight dark tan head, not leaving in much in the way of lacing. Nice roasty nose. Things dont continue foward after this respectable start, the flavar is somehow off, a sour ote is present and the chocolate, roasty chocolate is caused to be out of wack. Iadded about 1/3 of the bottle to a marinade, so all was not lose. Not my favorite vrom Upland so far

(Served in a snifter) bottled on "A '09"
A- This beer pours a black body with a faint hint of dark brown glow at the base of the glass. There are a few strands of microbubbles that glide up the side of the glass supporting a thin wispy beige head.
S- This beer has a very light smoky quality that melds into a dark roasted malt, espresso bean note and some other coffee notes. There are some dry chocolate notes that come through as the beer warms. The espresso bean aroma grows as it warms aswell.
T- This beer has a roasted deep black malt flavor with a slight tart hint and some coffee flavors to the black malt. There is some chocolate malt flavors underneath. The finish is a light cream with big roasted black grain taste that bites a bit as the beer warms.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with no alcohol heat noticed.
D- This beer has a fresh full nice dark roasted malt flavor but the body is a bit thin. This makes a good session stout with full flavor and a subtle complexity.

Pours an opaque brown with about a finger of head. The aroma is nondescript and only moderately malty. The taste is primarily caramel-like more than anything. Pretty easy to drink and relatively clean tasting, but its only 5%. Not a standout porter by any stretch. Still it was decent, I just have had way better.

Deep, dark amber with a gorgeous reddish hue is topped with a massive tan head....3 fingers at least. Head melts slowly to a thick top coating and sticky lacing.
Aroma is Sweet amber malt, brown sugar, and coffee.
Taste is sour caramel and coffee. Hops are very present creating an interesting blend between sour and sweet...not bitter at all. A little woody smoke presence like peat in the aftertaste and as it warms.

This one pours a deep, opaque brown, with a sizeable tan head of foam. Some lacing (about 1 finger).
Aroma is chocolate roasty, appealing and understated.
Flavor is similarly chocolate-accented, with hints of wood and a subdued coffee finish. Mellow, slightly burnt.
A sturdy and highly drinkable porter.

4.03/5 rDev +13.5%
Pours a black body with mahogany highlights at the base, and a frothy head of deep tan that holds well and initially leaves rings of craggy lace about the glass. The nose offers some dark cocoa with a subtle roasted edge that's amplified in the flavor. It's flavor is bright and chocolatey with a touch of vanilla and a bit of roastiness lending it depth. It's backed by some grassy, almost minty, and delicately spicy hops as well as a solid bitterness that leads to drying finish. It's hard to pinpoint what makes this porter unique, but there's definitely something there. Very well done and worth seeking out.

Tried the Bad Elmer at a recent beer tasting party. The beer pours an opaque brown with about good offwhite head that laced nicely. The aroma includes sweet malt, earth, vanilla bean. The taste is primarily sweet roasty malt peat and hints of coffee. The mouthfeel is light in body and ok carbonation. For me, it is too light for a porter. Overall it is ok, but there are many porters that are better.

This has what I'm looking for in a beer. Extremely dark, very close to pitch black, with a thick head of tiny brown bubbles. Lacks much retention.
Good smell. You'll pick up notes of chocolate, coffee, and earthy flowers.
The primary taste is coffee. I didn't pick up any chocolate, though if there is some, it's bittersweet.
Like everything else, good is the feeling on the palate. Has a milky feel to it. There's no sweetness and only a hint of bitter, but it's very milky from beginning to end.
This beer has a lot going for it. If you like porters, you'll like this one. It's got good flavors, though it lacks some sweetness found in a lot of porters, and the alcohol is just enough that you'll enjoy your evening, but not so much that you get hammered after just a couple.

This poured with one of the most massive & rocky long-lived heads I've ever encountered, light tan and flecked with peppery-looking residual yeast...visually stunning! It finally settled over cloudy dark brown liquid with a nose of sweet chocolate, brown sugar and very light tones of weak coffee. Taste is sweet at first with dryish notes of chocolate and lightly roasted barley coating the tongue with oh-so-slight hop bitterness afterwards. Finishes dry and again, lightly coffeeish...a pleasure to drink, and drink in quantity as a session porter. Many thanks to CRJMellor for the bottle!

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a murky brown, with a 1/2 finger of creamy mocha colored head. This maintains some richness, leaving back a foamy cascade that slowly slides down the sides of the glass. The aroma smells of cocoa, roast, and coffee. There's a touch of green citrus and floral character present as well. The roasted coffee tones are really coming out strong here, giving this a toasty and tasty smelling crunch in the nose.
The taste has a little more sweetness going on with it than the aroma did, with sticky notes of chocolate and caramel with a dash of green earthy citrus mixed in. Some light (but still firm) bitterness offers up some balance to the profile while toasted roasted notes come out fairly aggressively across the back. Good overall balance here though with the sweetness getting to shine. Finishes with some lingering earthy grit but is otherwise pretty clean. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a bubbly creaminess that's got some sharpness on the edges. This does seem a touch light in spots and doesn't quite seem to fill the mouth up like the flavors would indicate.
You know, this was pretty decent. I really liked the well balanced roasty flavors and despite some lightness to the body, this was still a fairly enjoyable quaff. One of the better ones I've had from Upland.

Pour a deep brown to black with about finger width toast, tan head.
It offers up a roasted malt kind of smell with maybe just a hint of coffee/dark chocolate. Not sure why, but the roasted malty smell is overpowering.
The taste yields much the same results as the smell. I'm getting all roasted malts and bit of tartness along with it, which I believe to be the molasses. Alcohol is hidden well. Would like a bit more chocolate and coffee.
Medium bodied, with a sweet start of a finish that leads to a little bit of a bitter hang.
Very drinkable. It's not the best porter I've had, but it's a decent representation. Not very filling, so you could have a few with no issues.

The Gold Gloves are sort of an inside joke, but it's still a little surprising that the Diamondbacks didn't sweep the outfield awards in the National League. Justin Upton is ahead of his peers in right field, and Chris Young is at least in the discussion of best defensive center fielders in the NL.
The one Diamondback who did win the Gold Glove, though, was Gerardo Parra, who was easily the best NL left fielder in the field. The 24-year-old complemented that with a .357 on-base percentage and 15 steals in 16 attempts. It was a pretty nice season. It's too bad he's going to have to scour Craigslist for a new job! The Arizona Diamondbacks signed former Twins outfielder Jason Kubel to a two-year, $15 million deal.
Kubel will play left for the Diamondbacks, apparently. Players who are paid $7.5 million a year usually aren't signed to be benchies. Kubel's best defensive position is DH, though he can actually post a negative UZR there when he sets his mind to it.
The downgrade in defense is obvious, but Parra had a .357 OBP last year to Kubel's .332. And Parra is 24 and cheap, whereas Kubel is 30 and the proud owner of a new $15 million contract.
Though right now it appears that Parra is some sort of fourth outfielder type, this has to mean that a trade is imminent. Upton obviously isn't going anywhere, but Parra could either be traded or moved to center if Young is traded. And the trade has to be almost final. It's not like the Diamondbacks would sign Kubel, destroy their leverage, and then look to make a big trade with one of their young outfielders.
That has to be it. Because otherwise, the DIamondbacks just spent $15 million to get worse in the field and at the plate. Oh, and Kubel has had injury problems throughout his career. That shouldn't be a problem, though, because the Diamondbacks have a pretty swell fourth outfielder!
There are bizarre moves, and there there are moves like this. If the Diamondbacks don't make a substantial trade with one of their spare outfielders before spring, this will be the most confusing move of the offseason. It's like someone in the front office sent a text that was ravaged by autocorrect, like "Sign Jason Karitiev for $750K" became "Jason Kubel for $7.5M."
Nah. There has to be a trade coming. Has to be. Right?

The Vanderburgh County Sheriffs Office says an Evansville man has been arrested on child battery charges.
Deputies say on Tuesday, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to Deaconess Hospital around 11:45 p.m. to assist the Department of Child Services with an investigation.
Authorities say once on scene, they were advised that a 13-month-old child had been seriously injured during an incident at 2505 Indian Bend.
Deputies then spoke with the infant's mother, who told them her infant daughter had spent the night with her sister and brother-in-law, Marilyn Jeanette Devers and Scott Wayne Devers.
Authorities say the mother told deputies she was aware Scott Devers would be the adult providing care while Marilyn Devers was at work.
She said around 3:00 p.m., Scott Devers had called and told her that her daughter had busted her lip. Believing the injury was minimal in nature, she did not question Devers in detail how the injury occurred.
The woman then told deputies that around 4:30 p.m., Marilyn Devers contacted her and asked what hospital she normally takes her daughter to. When she questioned why, Marilyn stated the child had fallen down the stairs of a bunk bed and needed to be seen.
She told deputies that she then demanded that the Devers bring her daughter home and once she observed the injuries, took her daughter to the hospital.
At the hospital, medical personnel found severe bruising and swelling to the child's forehead and mouth as well as bruising to the back, legs and face. Some of the bruising was patterned in the shape of an adult hand.
Deputies say X-Rays showed a spiral fracture to her upper arm which was not consistent with a child falling from a bunk bed.
The child was admitted and treated for her injuries. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Officials say Scott Devers was interviewed by Sheriff's detectives.
They say Devers maintained that the child's injuries were sustained during a fall from the bunk bed, despite being confronted with evidence to the contrary.
Deputies say Devers did admit that he was the only one that had cared for the child and that the child had no injuries when she was brought to him.
Devers was arrested and held in the Vanderburgh County Detention Center and was later released after posting a $5,000 bond.

DO they have some of YOUR stuff that was stolen?

Could paper routinely do a back ground check, internet search, interviews or local high schools or Merlin or Lexis search on each perp?

Could they be responsible for the string of burglaries along the 280 corridor? A description of the car they used would be helpful as well as what links they had to the community. How did they know the occupants were away? Were they workers or friends of workers?

The police let them GO? They no doubt WENT - they're outta here!!!! Would the police please explain this one. And from where did they get the bail money? Somebody's credit card? This makes NO sense.

The article says the arrests were made in July. Why has it taken until late August to get this info published?
She's OR'd. He's where?
When's the trial?

Sometimes all you can do is shake your head.
on Aug 28, 2012 at 4:37 pm
The police didn't let them go. The court, as is standard, ordered bail for them, they met the bail criteria & bailed out. They're not violent offenders, the jails are full - what do you folks expect?
Either they'll participate in the adjudication procedures or they'll be in the wind. If the latter, the bail money may be forfeited.

Ah ... what about the credit card company, and the rental car company? They had a part in this that could not be achieved by the police alone.

As another year (and another decade) comes to an end, I've been reflecting on all the headlines, big and small that took over the food world this year. For example, no meal President Obama ate went unnoticed; no comment about food policy he made was too small. And we had so many supposed shortages, at times one would've wondered how the world hadn't run out of food.

Release of a Dragon Quest 1-7 collection
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the cursed king is the ONLY Dragon Quest game in the U.S.A. to be given it's proper title and be uncut. As most of you know reading this, DQVIII is a classic RPG and my favorite. I would love to see a DQ 1-7 collection for the PS2, nothing changed from the Japanese version except a new translation and to have it completely uncut from the Japanese version.

National Grid Urges Customers to Employ Energy Efficiency Measures and Participate in Bill Payment Options if Needed
Providence, RI. – National Grid's Rhode Island electric customers will see an increase in their monthly bills starting January 1st. On December 20, the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission completed approval of rates requested by National Grid that will result in a total bill increase of 12.1 percent for the company's residential customers receiving Standard Offer Service. The overwhelming majority of the increase will go to cover an increase in the price of electricity that the company purchases for its customers and provides to them with no profit to the company. National Grid is advising customers to learn more about energy efficiency and install measures to help reduce energy costs. Customers also are encouraged to contact the company if they have difficulty paying their monthly gas or electric bill.
"Unfortunately this increase is driven by market forces we cannot control," said Timothy F. Horan, president of National Grid in Rhode Island. "We understand that for some of our customers any rate increase may be difficult to manage and National Grid wants to work proactively to help Rhode Islanders control their energy costs as much as possible."
For National Grid Standard Offer Service customers, 11.9 percent of the increase will be seen in the Supplier Services section of their electric bill, and is attributable to increasing wholesale power prices in New England because of the region's dependency on natural gas. Approximately 50 percent of New England's electricity generation is fueled by natural gas. Natural gas prices drive electricity prices and forward -looking natural gas prices are forecasted to be higher for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the regional energy market is anticipating a gas-constrained winter, which is being reflected in higher electricity prices this season.
National Grid Rhode Island natural gas customers saw a 1% decrease in gas rates effective on November 1st. The commodity rates for natural gas are a product of National Grid's long range natural gas purchase policies in RI, which help to mitigate price fluctuations.
National Grid does not generate electricity and plays no role in determining market prices. The company purchases power supply on behalf of customers and passes those costs directly to customers, without profit. Each year the company adjusts commodity prices on January 1 and July 1 for its residential and small business customers and quarterly for large business customers based on the results of requests for proposals for electricity required to meet customer demand during that period.
Between January 2014 and June 2014, the Standard Offer residential rate will be 8.55 cents per kilowatt-hour, compared with 6.35 cents per kWh during the final six months of 2013. Other adjustments taking effect on January 1 are the Energy Efficiency Charge and the factor covering the costs of securing long-term renewable energy. When combined, the typical Rhode Island residential electric Standard Offer customer using 500 kilowatt hours of electricity each month will see their bill rise from $78.91 to $88.47; an increase of $9.56 or 12.1 percent.
National Grid's gas and electric bills are divided between charges for delivery and commodity, also known as supplier services. National Grid's rates are state regulated. The electricity commodity rate change has been approved by the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission.
To learn more about energy efficiency measures, bill paying options and the components of the electric and natural gas bills, please visit www.nationalgridus.com.
National Grid (LSE: NG; NYSE:NGG) is an electricity and gas company that connects consumers to energy sources through its networks. The company is at the heart of one of the greatest challenges facing our society - to create new, sustainable energy solutions for the future and developing an energy system that underpins economic prosperity in the 21st century. National Grid holds a vital position at the center of the energy system and it 'joins everything up'.
In the northeast US, we connect more than seven million gas and electric customers to vital energy sources, essential for our modern lifestyles. In Great Britain, we run the gas and electricity systems that our society is built on, delivering gas and electricity across the country.
National Grid delivers electricity to approximately 3.3 million customers in Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island. It manages the electricity network on Long Island under an agreement with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), and owns over 4,000 megawatts of contracted electricity generation, providing power to over one million LIPA customers. It is the largest distributor of natural gas in northeastern U.S., serving approximately 3.4 million customers in New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Infestations of bed bugs are up 5,000 percent as are the number of reported attacks. The nightmare begins when a bed bug finds its way into your clothing; it usually happens at a hotel, but it can start anywhere.
Hospitals, businesses, homes, buses, apartments and hotels are just a few places where bed bugs are being reported. It is said that bed bugs don't transmit disease from feeding on your blood; however, an engorged bedbug can burst at the slightest bit of pressure and expose you to human blood. If that blood is infected, then you run a risk of infection as well.
A few simple precautions can prevent the nightmare from ever happening. We provide you with information to help determine if you have bed bugs, pictures of bed bug bites from people around the world, how to deal with infestations and most important, how to protect yourself during travel!
Finding bed bugs in your home has nothing to do with poor hygiene. It takes only one bed bug to hitch a ride on your clothing (furniture, suitcase, etc.) and infest your residence. What's worse is that they can live up to one year without drinking a drop of your blood. Feeding takes about 10 to 15 minutes for adults and less for the nymphs; they feed about every three days. Depending on the conditions, bed bug nymphs can survive for months without feeding.
Bed bugs are insects. More specifically, they are 'true bugs', which have piercing mouthparts that most species use for feeding on plants. Unfortunately, there are some species of bugs with mouthparts that have been adapted to feed on human blood while inflicting very little pain (most never feel the blood feeding).
The eggs are white and about 1mm long. The nymphs look like adults but are smaller. Complete development from egg to adult takes from four weeks to several months depending on the temperature and amount of feed available.
How do you know if you have bed bugs?
Bed bug bites are the best way to determine if you have bed bugs. Not everyone reacts the same to bites, so some marks may be less obvious than others. Grouping of bites is a common sign and you should start checking for mold-like spots on your mattress.
If you have a reaction, check with your doctor who may recommend an antihistamine or topical cream to relieve any itching or burning. Do not scratch the bites, as this may lead to infection!
If you suspect you have an infestation, you should contact a licensed exterminator. You can try to do it yourself using the tips found here, but your odds are a lot better letting a licensed professional handle it.
The best way to deal with bed bugs is by sealing your mattress and pillows with a plastic or hypoallergenic zipped cover. This traps the bugs that are inside your pillow and prevents them from feeding and kills them over time - remember, a nymph can live for two months without feeding; an adult can survive more than 12 months!
Do not apply any pesticide to mattresses or surfaces that would come in contact with the skin unless the pesticide specifically states that the product can be used in this manner.
Wash all your linens and place them in a hot dryer for 20 minutes (or you can freeze them at -5 C or below for five days).
You can vacuum to capture bed bugs and their eggs, but because the eggs are embedded in the fabric, you may have to scrape the surface. Once you have vacuumed everything, immediately place the vacuum bag into a plastic bag, seal it tight and dispose of it outside.
Seal items mentioned above to prevent the bugs from hiding. You can place glue boards or sticky tape around your bed and in the room to catch the bed bugs as they move around; this gives you a way to monitor the effectiveness of your efforts.
A few ways to prevent bed bugs from getting into your home include:
* Hang clothing in the closet farthest from the bed* Place luggage on the folding rack found in most hotels* Place luggage in the dry-cleaning bag found in the hotel.* Most importantly, don't bring home a mattress that has been used by unknown sources.
Check out this bedbug checklist to help you quickly look for signs of bedbugs BEFORE you sleep.

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Summertime is a time for sun, fun and play, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of learning.
