The New Orleans Saints can clinch the NFC South division with a victory over the Atlanta Falcons in their Monday night matchup in Week 16.
New Orleans' win over Minnesota in Week 15 moves the Saints to within a win or a Falcons loss of the NFC South crown.
In previous games, we've seen the Falcons get complacent and squander halftime leads, allowing inferior opponents back in to the game and keeping them unnecessarily close. Tonight, I can say with full confidence the Falcons played an absolutely complete game, sixty minutes of outstanding football.
The defense allowed only seven points, the lone touchdown being against the second-stringers in garbage time. Blaine Gabbert was held to only 141 yards passing, and turned the ball over three times. Maurice Jones-Drew, while he eclipsed the century mark on the ground, was also largely held in check.
John Abraham was a one man wrecking crew, racking up 3.5 sacks and forcing two fumbles on a night Gabbert spent mostly running for his life. In total the Falcons sacked the rookie QB five times, and Thomas DeCoud would add to the dominance with a tip-drill interception in the second half.
On offense, the Falcons put up a season-high 41 points and were firing on every cylinder imaginable. Matt Ryan was an impressive 19-for-26 for 224 yards passing and three touchdowns, but the real story was the receiving duo of Roddy White and Julio Jones. Jones finished the day with five catches for 85 yards and a score, while White managed to catch 10 (count 'em) 10 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns.
Whatever Mike Smith and the coaching staff at halftime last week, it obviously worked because this is certainly not the same Falcons team we saw struggle at the start of the year. They've gained a renewed confidence, and are building some real momentum at the perfect time.
Tonight's win is perhaps the best you'll see from the Atlanta Falcons. Heck, this about as dominant as you can expect any NFL team to play. With this blowout win, the Falcons move 9-5 and will be looking strong heading into next week's Monday Night matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

Perhaps building some momentum coming off last week's comeback win over Carolina, the Atlanta Falcons have shown outright dominance in the first half of this Thursday Night football game.
After Atlanta settled for a field goal on their second possession of the game, Jaguars return man Jarrett Dillard muffed the punt, and it was quickly recovered by an opportunistic Sean Weatherspoon at the Jaguars five-yard line. One play later, Michael Turner would walk into the end zone untouched on a five-yard rush, extending the Falcons lead to 17-0.
Later in the half, Matt Ryan would lead the offense on an extremely methodical nine-play, 72 yard drive. Leading receiver Roddy White would catch all three passes thrown his way on the drive, including a six-yard reception good for a touchdown. White has had a big-time game thus far, reeling in seven passes for 90 yards in just the first two quarters of play. Ryan has also been impressive, going 14-for-21 for 160 yards and two TDs.
The Falcons would keep their foot on the gas on defense as well, holding an inept Jags offense scoreless in the first half. Though Maurice Jones-Drew has gotten his yards (eight carries for 74 yards), the real reason behind this success is Blaine Gabbert amassing only 21 yards so far. The Falcons have simply been able to stack eight men in the box and key in on MJD all game.
In the waning moments of the half, John Abraham would notch his second sack of the game and force the aforementioned struggling Gabbert to fumble, soon after recovered by Curtis Lofton. That turnover would eventually lead to another Matt Bryant field goal, and the Falcons now enter halftime leading 27-0.
The second half should be a good test to see whether Mike Smith's team can really dominate a team not named the Colts this season. Stay tuned.

Update: Good news for Jags fans, and for this game's watchability:
@jaguarsinsider Jones-Drew has an ankle sprain and is expected to return.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew left his team's game against the Atlanta Falcons late in the second quarter with what looked to be a right leg injury. He walked off the field under his own power with a visible limp, taking a knee on the sideline, appearing frustrated. And not just because the score was 24-0 at the time.
Here's a look:
MJD has been Jacksonville's entire offense. He leads the league in touches, and it's hard to fathom just how bad this Jags team would be without him. With 27 players already on injured reserve, the Jags can't possibly be cursed enough to lose Jones-Drew for any significant span of time. Can they?
He headed into the locker room with one play left in the half. We'll hope he's able to make it back out.

The Jacksonville Jaguars came into this week allowing the fourth fewest yards per game in the entire league, but it didn't take long for the Falcons to put the first points of the ball game.
On the Falcons opening possession, Matt Ryan led the offense on a seven-play, 75 yard drive that ended with Ryan hitting Julio Jones on a short drag route which Jones turned into a 29-yard scoring play. After coming up with a couple of big plays against Carolina, Julio continued his hot streak by outrunning everyone to the end zone. Ryan was a perfect four-for-four on the drive, hitting four different receivers in the process.
On defense, the Falcons were just as good. John Abraham would sack Blaine Gabbert for a 10-yard loss on Jacksonville's first offensive play from scrimmage, and Corey Peters would also manage big-time sack (later negated by an offsides penalty). Still, the defense held true and forced the Jags to go three-and-out on their first possession of the game.
So far, it's been all Atlanta in this one as they lead 7-0.

The Atlanta Falcons' defensive front has been feast (five sacks against Chicago) or famine (25 total on the season, only six teams in the league have less) this season, but Jacksonville's rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert and a maligned offensive line could be ripe for Atlanta's line to pad their low numbers, according to the National Football Post's match-up analysis:
Another opportunity for the rookie QB to improve his overall game on a national stage. From my perspective, Gabbert's development hasn't come as quickly as the Jags expected and he struggles to make plays vs. pressure-based schemes. If I am making the calls for the Falcons' defense, I work to bring edge pressure from the secondary on third down situations. Force Gabbert to make quick reads and throw the ball vs. blitz-man coverage. I'm interested to see what the rookie can do tonight when he has to step into throws vs. pressure.
Ray Edwards has taken the brunt of criticism for the lack of sacks - he was the key free agent acquisition in the offseason thought to be the missing key and a compliment to DE John Abraham - but refuses to measure his worth by the single stat:
"We can't really worry about sacks,'' said Edwards, who signed a five-year deal that guarantees him at least $11 million. "We've just got to worry about doing our jobs.''
But he's clearly disappointed with his performance, knowing that more - a lot more - was expected from the big-name duo.
"A sack-fest, right?'' Edwards acknowledged, managing a bit of a smile. "I'm just going to continue working to put pressure on the quarterback and hopefully the sacks will come.''

The Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars have announced their inactives for tonight's game, and despite warming up with the team earlier, cornerback Brent Grimes is out for the Falcons, along with fellow defensive back Kelvin Hayden. Grimes will now miss a third straight game after knee surgery.
Also out for the Falcons: quarterback John Parker Wilson, linebacker Spencer Adkins, center Brett Romberg, offensive lineman Kirk Chambers and defensive end Cliff Matthews.
There are no surprises among the inactives for Jacksonville quarterback Dan LeFevour, running back Deji Karim, cornerback Robert McClain, center John Estes, receiver Mike Thomas, defensive end Matt Roth and receiver Cecil Shorts.

Friend of the program Knox Baredeen of CBSSports.com is reporting that injured cornerback Brent Grimes is warming up with the team. Grimes has not practiced with the team since having knee surgery that caused him to miss the last two games.
Head coach Mike Smith told reporters on Tuesday that Grimes would be unlikely to start or play against Jacksonville but could make his return against the New Orleans Saints December 26.
In Grimes' absence, the Falcons have used a combination of Dominque Foxworth and Christopher Owens opposite Dunta Robinson.
Atlanta can clinch a fourth consecutive winning season and move closer to a NFC wild card with a win against Jacksonville Thursday night.
As the regular season starts to wind down, the Atlanta Falcons are trying to keep pace with the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South.
The Jacksonville Jaguars look to be without two of their key wideouts for their upcoming contest versus the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday as Mike Thomas (groin) and Cecil Shorts (hamstring) missed practice completely on Wednesday.
If Thomas and Shorts can't go, look for Jason Hill, Chastin West and Jarrett Dillard to be inserted into the lineup and produce for rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert.

To call the last week for the Falcons 'tumultuous' would be a huge understatement. Between mounting a big second half rally to beat the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and then having to deal with head coach Mike Smith's heart scare following the game it's unfair to have them turn around and be ready for a Thursday night game, but unfortunately those are the breaks for Atlanta this week.
If there's a saving grace it's that they should be in for a fairly easy affair this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a game they're heavily favored in. Granted, the Jags just came off a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the Falcons are a much bigger test. For the second week in a row the defense will face a rookie QB, but first year signal caller Blaine Gabbert is no Cam Newton, and for that reason alone the Falcons should walk away from this game fairly unscathed.
Across the board Atlanta are favored by around 11 points, and this is easily surmountable for the Falcons. Matt Ryan is on a role right now, and quietly playing very good football even if he isn't getting any attention of the national stage. The reason the Jaguars were able to get the better of the Bucs last week was their ability to not only pressure Josh Freeman, but to force him to turn the ball over. The lack of ability or continuity on the Falcons' OL is definitely cause for concern, but Ryan has been around the block longer than Freeman and responds better to pressure. Last week he responded extremely well to the Panthers' pass rush, and there's little reason to think he wont fair the same way here. Jacksonville will struggle against the passing attack of Atlanta, as they simply don't have enough competent players in the secondary to account for White, Jones and Gonzalez.
The line on the game is 42.5 pts, and personally I'd take the under this week. I'm not confident the Jaguars will be able to score 15 pts on Thursday, and this game has the distinct feeling of one where the Falcons could get up early and grind out the rest of the game on the ground. With limited time to prepare I'm not sure the offense will be at its best, but I still feel it will be enough to get the W.
When it's all said and done I think the smart decision this week is to take the Falcons minus the points, but stick to the under- I just don't peg this to be a high scoring affair.

The Atlanta Falcons are readying to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in perhaps the most-anticipated Thursday night game of this entire week. The first injury report for the game is out, revealing a lengthy list of non-participants, in addition to the standard list of resting seniors.
Running back Michael Turner skipped practice, as did slot receiver Harry Douglas and starting tackle Will Svitek. All three of those gentlemen were felled by groin injuries. Julio Jones was also limited, this time due to a back injury. Sam Baker filled in for Tyson Clabo, who was out with an illness.
On the Jags side, Cecil Shorts and Guy Whimper have funny names.

The playoffs are well within reach despite an up-and-down season.
Former Atlanta Falcons first round pick Sam Baker has struggled during the 2011 season and may be falling out of the offensive line picture completely.
Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith wouldn't give any details other than he wasn't feeling well after his team's victory over the Carolina Panthers. He was transported to a Charlotte hospital for tests before returning home early Monday morning.
Smith was back on the field Monday night directing practice as the Falcons prepare for Thursday's home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Georgia Dome. When asked how he was feeling by reporters after practice, Smith would offered that he felt much better on Monday than he had following the game on Sunday.
"I feel a whole lot better today than I did yesterday, I can assure you that."
Smith and the Atlanta coaching staff began preparing for Jacksonville last week in hopes of combating the short week of preparation. The Falcons seemingly dodged a bullet that Smith's condition wasn't serious and didn't cause him to miss any practice time with the team.
For more on Smith and the Falcons, stay tuned to Falcons blog The Falcoholic.
Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith will prepare to face off against his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, on Thursday night needing a victory to help secure a playoff spot in the NFC.
The combination of the Falcons' stunning comeback win at Carolina, coupled with the Tim Tebow led 13-10 Denver comeback against Chicago allowed Atlanta to climb one spot in the NFC Playoff picture, moving from the No. 6 seed to the No. 5 seed, where, barring a monumental collapse by the New Orleans Saints, the Falcons will stay if they win out the regular season.
For three weeks Atlanta had been sitting at the No. 6 seed, where they would hypothetically play at the No. 3 seeded NFC South Champion Saints in the wild card round. By moving up to the No. 5 spot, Atlanta would now travel to the No. 4 seed NFC East Champion, which switched from Dallas to New York after the Giants' 37-34 win Sunday night.
With three games remaining - a short-week turnaround hosting Jacksonville this Thursday night, at New Orleans on December 26 and hosting Tampa Bay on New Year's Day - the Falcons could finish 11-5 and not host a playoff game if New Orleans can't be caught. To win the division, the Falcons would need to win out (beating the Saints) and have New Orleans drop their season finale to Carolina January 1 to win a tiebreaker determined by division records.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who may be making a playoff push at this point in the season, look to try their luck in the Georgia Dome in this week 15 matchup. Amidst a string of season where the Jaguars have fallen short of the playoffs, Mike Smith's former boss Jack Del Rio now finds himself in somewhat of a hot seat. However, with the Jags possibly a team still in transition, that final push for the playoffs may not be any easier this season.
Record: Went 8-8, missed playoffs
Last Meeting: September 16, 2007 (Falcons lost 13-7)
Notable Additions: OG Jason Spitz, LB Paul Posluszny, LB Clint Session, S Dawan Landry, QB Blaine Gabbert
Notable Losses: LB Kirk Morrison, LB Justin Durant, WR Mike Sims-Walker, S Sean Considine
The most notable change this season was the teams first-round pick Blaine Gabbert. Given his performance against the Falcons this preseason, however, I wouldn't be so sure he'll take the starting job away from Garrard this year, especially if the Jags find themselves in the playoff race.
What we do now, however, is that they've dearly missed having Mike Smith run the defense. Jacksonville ranked 28th against the pass and 28th overall on defense last season, posting a mere 26.0 sacks team-wide in the process. Hopefully the offensive line can recover from their sub-par preseason performance against that group this time around. The additions of Posluszny and Landry will improve the group an already stout run defense, but that secondary is still pretty suspect.
The other thing we know about the Jags is that they won't pass much, regardless of who's at QB. As they have in the past, the team will rely on the oft-used Maurice Jones-Drew and the ground game. The key for the Falcons, then, is shutting down the run and forcing Garrard/Gabbert to pass and play catch-up. With pass-catching weapons really limited to Mike Thomas and Marcedes Lewis, I think the defense can really lock in on Garrard and force mistakes.
While the Falcons will come in favored, we've seen this Jaguars team put up a tough fight in the past. With them likely playing for their playoff lives and the Falcons hopefully making a push for the NFC South crown, this will mark the de facto start of "playoff football" in 2011.

The young mother of three shot to death by police has been identified by her family as Denise Glasco. The family says Glasco was pregnant and visiting from California. Family members say they can't understand what happened.
The family gathered on Wednesday night at the scene of the shooting to remember Glasco. Her brother, Billy Tribble, describes what one eyewitness told him.
"He said he saw the police telling a girl to freeze of he was going to shoot and she had the baby with her and hands in the air and they shot her," Tribble said.
"I just want my daughter to come back home to me. Now she is here in the morgue, dead for no reason," said Betti Fowler, Glasco's mother. Fowler arrived in Las Vegas on Wednesday after hearing of her daughter's death.
Glasgow, who was 24-years-old, was shot after a confrontation erupted at a Jack in the Box restaurant near Lake Mead and Martin Luther King. Police responded to the restaurant following reports that a woman was yelling at customers, throwing chair and was armed with a knife. Glasco also had her three-year-old son with her at the time.
The confrontation between Glasco and police continued into the nearby street, where police say, Glasco walked through traffic and attempted to get into cars. Police were able to get the child away from her safely.
Police did use bean bag shots, a taser and pepper spray, but say they could not get the woman to respond to them. Police say when her actions with the knife became more aggressive, they were forced to shoot her. She was shot twice and later died.
The two officers involved have been identified as Officer Jennifer Santiago, 36, who has been with the LVMPD since May of 1995, and Officer Kenneth Krmpotich, 40, who has been with the LVMPD since March of 2000. Both officers are on administrative leave pending the Coroners Inquest.
Glasco's cousin, Tanginique Grissom, says Glasco struggled with mental disabilities, but doesn't believe that level of aggression wasn't in her nature.
"That's why I'm hoping all this is one big joke. Because it's not like my cousin, I hope she just pops up out the door and says here I am, it's me, I'm here," said Tanginique Grissom, shooting victim's cousin.
Police say this was a case where all non-lethal force was used until Glasco became too dangerous. Some witnesses though, say Glasco didn't have a knife.
Glasco's young boy is still in Child Haven. He is expected to be released to his grandmother Thursday.

The arctic blast in North Alabama forced many schools in the Valley to delay the start of classes Friday morning. Some schools started two or three hours late, but what do school leaders base those decision on? We found out it comes out to a number of things; mainly, whatever is safest for the students and the equipment.
School leaders in Athens chose to delay the start of classes in his district on Friday by two hours when the temperatures dropped to the single digits.
"It's always our number one concern to be focused on what's best and safest for our students, but there are a lot of factors in place," said Terry Roller with Athens City Schools.
Those factors include making sure the buildings are heated enough for students, the buses are able to run properly in the cold, and being in agreement with the surrounding school districts. Roller said starting a few hours late can make a difference.
"Sometimes it's as much as a 10 degree increase in temperature when you wait two hours," he added. "Plus, the sun is up, it's better visibility, and people can see some of the hazards you can't see when it's as dark.
The weather delays could mean makeup days later in the year, but Roller said there are plans in place.
"If we ever get to the point where we have too many snow days or delays, then we will reschedule days later in the year and make up that instructional time."
Roller said school leaders have not made a decision about classes for next week. He said as soon as they decide, they will alert their parents by phone and social media.

Top doctor at Epsom and St Helier Hospital encourages pregnant women to get vaccinated against whooping cough
8:10am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
A leading doctor from Epsom, Sutton and St Helier hospitals is encouraging pregnant women to get vaccinated against whooping cough.
Dr John Clark, a consultant microbiologist and the trust's lead doctor for infection prevention and control, said: "Whooping cough is an unpleasant illness for anyone but it's particularly dangerous for young infants.
"It's therefore vital that they are protected as soon as possible."
To find out more about the vaccination, pregnant women should contact their GP or speak to their midwife.

I've seen times where a particular fighter has the mental edge over his opponent but ends up loosing the fight. I don't just mean loud mouths or cocky fighters who ended up loosing the fights either! Which fights did you feel a particular fighter showed doubt/fear leading upto the fight but ended up winning? (I understand there may be mixed opinions on some examples as you can't always see or measure fear/doubt).
George Foreman has said he had never feared a man in his entire life other than Smokin Joe and that he was petrified leading upto the fight. Well....we all know how that turned out!
De La Hoya-Mayorga
I don't think Oscar ever doubted the skills he had to win, but I do feel Mayorga shook him up and got to him before the fight yet De La Hoya really put it on him.
Leading upto the fight I felt Hopkins got to Joe with the remarks and overall had the Welshman slightly on edge, yet ended up winning.
Hopkins-Jones II
Despite the circumstances, I felt Hopkins was still extremely weary of their 1st fight and thought leading upto the fight Jones had the slight mental edge despite being past it, yet Hopkins got the win.
Any other examples yous can come up with?

RBI permits doorstep services by banks
Our Bureau
Mumbai , April 30
BANKERS will now come to your doorstep to collect cash deposits.
The Reserve Bank of India has allowed banks to start doorstep banking, including collection of cash, but with its prior approval. Individual banks will have to formulate separate schemes for doorstep banking and obtain RBI approval before starting the service. Such services were allowed until 1983, when it was banned following malpractices.
In a circular issued on Saturday, the RBI said, "In view of several requests received from Government Departments like Railways etc. for making available banking services, including collection of cash at their premises and representations from banks, it has been decided that a scheme for providing services at the premises of a customer within the frame work of Section 23 of the Banking Regulation Act may be formulated by banks with the approval of their boards and submitted to the Reserve Bank for approval."
However, the RBI has allowed banks to provide such services to State and Central Government departments without RBI permission, until they work out a separate scheme.
Though the RBI decision will help banks to service institutional customers such as Railways, the scheme can be applicable to individual customers, said a banker. Under the scheme, a bank can send his representative to a customer's home and collect deposits. The scheme, worked out by the bank's board should have RBI approval.
The RBI decision may help banks which have been finding it difficult to mobilise deposits. In fact, the RBI Governor, Dr.Y.V. Reddy, noted in the recent monetary policy statement that the pace of deposit growth was not in keeping with the growth in credit. In this context, banks have been urged to refocus on deposit mobilisation and provide better quality of banking services to customers.
Some aggressive private and foreign banks have been providing such services to their customers without RBI permission. They can now do so legally.

hi all,
i'm developing a TCP client application and found there are two problem with RSocket.
- while connecting to a non-existing ip address with RSocket::Connect(iAddr, iStatus), RSocket will block in Connect() for 20~30 seconds then next step over SetActive(). This problem won't happened on target device.(I realize this problem had been asked on the forum, but i did't see the problem has been cleared)
- there are two ip address, one(say, A) can be reached and the other(say, B) can't. if RSocket first connect to B then connect to A, it will result in:
RSocket connect to B --> enter RunL with error code -33(time out) --> RSocket connect to A --> enter RunL with error code -33
that's wield! i'm sure that host A can be reached.
the problem can be solved if i do RSocket::Close() and then RSocket::Open() before connecting to A. that is,
RSocket connect to B --> enter RunL with error code -33(time out) --> do RSocket::Clsoe() --> do RSocket::Open() --> RSocket connect to A --> enter RunL with KErrNone
however, i dont think that's a good metholody...
Socket should be reusable, even if there are something wrong(eg, connection error) with it, isn't it ?
this is my code snippet
and headerCode:TEST* TEST::NewL() { TEST* self = new(ELeave) TEST; CleanupStack::PushL(self); self->ConstructL(); CleanupStack::Pop(self); return self; } void TEST::ConstructL() { iSocketServ.Connect(); iConn.Open( iSocketServ ); iConn.Start(); iSocket.Open(iSocketServ, KAfInet, KSockStream, KProtocolInetTcp,iConn); } TEST::TEST() : CActive(0) { CActiveScheduler::Add(this); } TEST::~TEST() { Cancel(); } void TEST::RunL() { User::LeaveIfError(iStatus.Int()); CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave) CAknInformationNote; informationNote->ExecuteLD(_L("connected")); } void TEST::DoCancel() { } TInt TEST::RunError(TInt aError) { TBuf<64> msg; msg.Format(_L("err: %d"), aError); CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave) CAknInformationNote; informationNote->ExecuteLD(msg); return 0; } void TEST::ConnectL(TInetAddr& aAddr) { iAddr = aAddr; iSocket.Connect(iAddr, iStatus); SetActive(); }
thanks in advance,Code:class TEST :public CActive { public: static TEST* NewL(); ~TEST(); private: void ConstructL(); TEST(); protected: void RunL(); void DoCancel(); TInt RunError(TInt aError); public: void ConnectL(TInetAddr& aAddr); private: RSocket iSocket; RSocketServ iSocketServ; RConnection iConn; TInetAddr iAddr; };
any comment will be appreciated

Governor Pat Quinn is making his mark by signing four bills at the Illinois State Fair that help veterans. It was in front of dozens of vets and their families at the state fair on a day dedicated to those who served.
"There's a military tradition in our state among many many families," the Governor said. "We should really honor that and I think today is a good day to do that."
Gov. Quinn said he always tries to be here at the Illinois State Fair on Veteran's Day. It's a special day meant to remember and honor those who served and bring them together.
"Today is a day of recognition but every day should be a day of action," he said.
The bills will take action to help women veterans, veteran owned businesses and maintaining memorials. And as much as this day is about taking steps forward for veterans, "It's also an opportunity for families to come to a state fair where you can have fun but at the same time do something important.
It's also about looking back and remembering those who have served.
"It's very solemn," said Wally Hammond a Vietnam era veteran fighting back tears. "It means a lot... for veterans those that survived the conflict and returned home and they didn't."
And while Sunday was about honoring them, "I think every day we can find ways to volunteer and help our veterans," said Gov. Quinn. It's another day to remember them.
The State Fair manager said that each year up to 10,000 veterans come out on this day. Veterans and their families got in for free.

The aim was to explore new ways of making the subject of foreign languages fun.

More red, less green this Christmas
- Sections:
- New England Patriots
All I want for Christmas is my money back.
After raking in the cash hand over fist last season, it's been a much different story in 2012. Last week I touted the Pats as the right pick, but they never threatened to cover the 41⁄2-point spread no matter how exciting their 41-34 loss to the 49ers got last night.
That makes me 5-10 this season and in a pretty big hole as the credit card bills for Christmas start to litter my desk.
Over bettors were the real winners last night, as both teams poured on the points after a first half dominated by San Francisco's tenacious defense.
The 461⁄2-point line was decimated two seconds into the fourth quarter, and the over now is 10-2-2 in Pats games this season. Typing that makes me shake my head and wonder why, after all the talk the past few years about the over, I didn't just pick it every week and hope for the best. My holiday envelope would be chock full of green right now instead of empty and blowing through my house like tumbleweed.
Pats fans must have been happy that their team woke up in the second half and magically was able to move the ball down the field with ease to make it a game, but again, the Niners made the cover a non-issue when they scored twice in a 17-second span early in the third quarter. The Pats fell to 8-6 against the spread.
With two weeks left in the regular season, the Pats head to Jacksonville needing to win out to have a realistic chance of catching Denver for the AFC's No. 2 seed and accompanying first-round bye.
The line will stay right around 14, with the total near 50. The Pats certainly will try to erase memories of last night's cold, wet debacle with a sunny, warm, dominating win, but I don't trust the Jags to score enough points to help achieve the over.
Call me a sucker, but I'll take the Pats to win in a laugher, kind of like my gambling season.

"I'm in the doctorate program at a small Catholic college where I also teach. I don't usually go out near school, but my friends really wanted to go to a new karaoke bar, so I tagged along to blow off some steam. A lot of my students were there, but after a few drinks, I didn't really care and kept on drinking. On Monday morning before class, I was flipping through the student paper when I saw a huge picture of me sitting at a table doing shots of tequila. I'd worn a short skirt that night, and not only had the camera angle managed to capture my entire crotch, but the caption also read 'Dr. Drunk shows her school spirit.'" -Mary, 28

Photovoltaic technology generates buzz at international solar showcase
A solar power technology developed at Queen's University has been pegged by installers, distributors and manufacturers as a potential game-changer in the solar industry.
Publicly launched at North America's largest solar conference and trade show in San Francisco recently, the compact, lightweight power converter – also known as a microinverter – offers a lower cost, next-generation solution to harvesting the power of the sun for household use.
The technology is the brainchild of Dr. Praveen Jain, Canada Research Chair in Power Electronics at Queen's. Dr. Jain is also the CEO of SPARQ Systems Inc., the Queen's spinout company that is developing and marketing it. The technology was licensed to SPARQ by PARTEQ Innovations, the technology transfer office of Queen's.

Yakima, WA--- The Yakima Bears have received word from the Northwest League that infielder Jimmy Comerota has been named the 2011 Northwest League All-Star Team. Now in his second season with the Bears, Comerota has flourished as an everyday player leading into the season's final series.
Comerota has the fourth best batting average in the NWL at .319 in 54 games played. Comerota has hit 10 doubles, three triples, and one home run. Comerota leads the team in RBIs (34), is second in walks (23) and stolen bases (11), and he is tied for third in runs scored (27). With only 21 strikeouts in 207 at bats, Comerota has been one of the toughest batters to strikeout this season in the entire Northwest League.
Voting for the Northwest League All-Star Team is done by the eight team managers. Comerota finished tied in the voting for third base with Eugene's Travis Whitmore, with both players making the team. For the Bears this season Comerota has played 49 games at first base, five games in left field, and made one appearance as a pitcher, but has not played at all at third base. In 519 total chances at the positions in the field he did play, Comerota committed just five errors, leaving him with a .990 fielding percentage.
Comerota is a native of Houston, Texas who was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 18th Round of the 2010 Draft out of Rice University.
The Bears did not have any other players named to the 2011 Northwest League All-Star Team.
Comerota and the rest of the Bears are still in the playoff hunt, sitting just one game behind the Tri-City Dust Devils in the East Division standings with five games left in the regular season. All five of the Bears final regular season games are against the Eugene Emeralds and will be played at Yakima County Stadium. Tickets are still available for all remaining games at the Bears downtown Yakima office.

BARDSTOWN, KY (WAVE) – A Nelson County woman is behind bars after investigators say she shot and killed her boyfriend.
James Thomas III, who goes by Marcy, was found shot to death in Susan Marlow's driveway. It didn't take the Nelson County Sheriff's Office long to arrest her and charge her with murder.
A neighbor, who does not want her identity known, has lived on Plum Run Road for decades.
"It's totally unexpected," said the neighbor. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our little neighborhood."
Not far away, Thomas, 51, was lying in the driveway of the home of his long time girlfriend, Marlow. Nelson County Sheriff Stephen Campbell said Thomas was shot twice. Campbell it all stems from domestic violence.
"It's our understanding that it was an on again off again relationship," said Campbell. "Evidently we have responded to that residence in the past."
In fact, court documents show Marlow took out an Emergency Protective Order against Thomas in 2008.
It's something that's shocking to this neighbor, who has spent time with both of them.
"I think she is a good neighbor," she said. "He's been over here several times. I've met him, he would laugh and cut up, just a regular kind of guy."
It's still unclear what led up to the shooting, but the neighbor can't help but feel sad for all involved.
"Two families are ruined," she said. "I feel sorry for both of their families. I mean he's gone and he will never be back and more or likely she won't be either."
Marlow does have a criminal history dating back to 1997. She has faced charges for drugs, theft, and assault. She is currently in the Nelson County Jail charged with murder.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - From laws that wipe away court records, to laws that deal with state pensions for convicted elected leaders, nearly 20 new laws took effect on Saturday.
Lawmakers worked for about a decade to create a law that lets a judge decide wether to erase nonviolent criminal records for good behavior.
Starting Saturday, court records can be erased for a misdemeanor or low-level felony, if the person has had good behavior for 15 years. According to the North Carolina Justice Center, the law has the power to cleanse the records of tens of thousands of people.
Many argue that it makes it easier for people convicted of nonviolent crimes to get a job and apply for public housing assistance.
Another law stops elected officials, convicted of a felony relating to their actions in office, from receiving state pensions. In the past they were able to get retirement funds.
Another law protects teachers against cyberbullying. It is now illegal to target a school employee. Not everyone is ok with the law. The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina said they will seek plaintiffs for a possible court challenge to change it. The group argues that it threatens the free speech of students.

My brother and I were having a debate on the Talib trade a few days ago and I thought that it was a terrible trade even with Talib's character flaws and all. He said that Talib was garbage and that we didn't need him. I know Talib wasn't playing the best of Buc ball before the suspension, but I knew he needed time to gel in our new defensive schemes. When I first received the news of the trade I must admit I was a little distraught looking at our remaining CBs and depth. I believe that Talib is a talented CB and has shown up on occasion. His inconsistency must be worked on but I still felt he was the best CB we had.
Our pass defense has been unacceptable and I believe our defense cannot afford any mistakes to keep it close with a quality or elite offense. Would our defense be just as bad with Talib? I mean could we have kept and still used him instead of giving him up, and a 7th round pick for a 4th?
After Sunday's game and his debut with the Patriots, Talib managed a pick 6, 6 tackles and 2 assist. That was his first game, and I saw flashes of the good and bad Talib. What do you guys think? Please leave comments and Vote. This is my first Fan Post.

Intel's Share Price Says It All
Tuesday, November 20th, 2012
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The Dow Jones Industrials gave up most of their gains this year in the recent stock market selloff; given current fundamentals, this market is oversold. Strife in the Middle East definitely affected investor sentiment last week, but the market is now betting that U.S. policymakers will address the fiscal cliff issue before the end of the year. Across the board, expectations among equity investors have come downward; this gives stocks the potential to outperform in the fourth-quarter earnings season.
During the third-quarter earnings season, we saw large-cap, international businesses impacted by economic weakness in the eurozone and China. Chinese economic data has improved in recent weeks, although like everything nowadays, you have to consider the numbers with a grain of salt. In order for this stock market to advance, it requires improvement on the part of the Chinese economy; it goes without saying that the eurozone will be in no-growth mode well into 2013.
The latest earnings season saw large-cap companies report very conservative outlooks for the rest of this year. Corporations also showed difficulty in growing revenues, while earnings themselves held constant. (See "Where's The Good News? Companies Just Meeting Expectations.") Stock market valuations, however, are very reasonable at this time, and this provides a floor to the recent selloff. Still, without earnings growth, the stock market won't really be able to advance in a meaningful trend.
One company that's really been hit hard over the last six months on the stock market is Intel Corporation (NASDAQ/INTC). After reporting that its earnings were affected by weakness in Europe and, to a lesser extent, strength in the tablet market, Intel's shares started selling off significantly. The stock has been so weak lately that its current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is below nine, while the stock's dividend yield is now a hefty 4.5%. Intel has been very diligent at increasing its dividends to stockholders, but the stock itself hasn't done a thing for the last 10 years. The company's recent stock chart is featured below:

Given the fact that the U.S. economy is really only growing at the rate of inflation, the stock market isn't going to advance in a meaningful way. In order for the stock market to experience a new bull market, we need a new business cycle to begin, and the U.S. economy may even have to endure another recession before this can happen. The Dow Jones Industrials are stuck at the same level they were five years ago.

The Great Crash of 2014
A stock market crash bigger than what happened in 2008 and early 2009 is headed our way.
In fact, we are predicting this crash will be even more devastating than the 1929 crash…
…the ramifications of which will hit the economy and Americans deeper than anything we've ever seen.
Our 27-year-old research firm feels so strongly about this, we've just produced a video to warn investors called, "The Great Crash of 2014."
In case you are not familiar with our research work on the stock market:
In late 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, we told our clients to buy small-cap stocks. They rose about 100% after we made that call.
We were one of the first major advisors to turn bullish on gold.
Throughout 2002, we urged our readers to buy gold stocks; many of which doubled and even tripled in price.
In November of 2007, we started begging our customers to get out of the stock market. Shortly afterwards, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for stocks.
We correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009.
And in March of 2009, we started telling our readers to jump into small caps. The Russell 2000 gained about 175% from when we made that call in 2009 to today.
Many investors will find our next prediction hard to believe until they see all the proof we have to back it up.
Even if you don't own stocks, what's about to happen will affect you!
I urge you to be among the first to get our next major

The SMU campus, Bush Center and DISD's Stonewall Jackson Elementary were locked down briefly this morning after a man called police threatening to commit suicide.
The school sent out an alert just after 9 a.m. on Friday morning.
A short time later, the suspect was arrested in a parking lot on Mockingbird Lane, just east of campus and across the street from Mockingbird Station.
Witnesses say police officers tasered the suspect before handcuffing him and taking him away. The only weapons found on the suspect were two pocket knives.
Dallas police said in a statement the incident originated around 6 a.m. on Friday morning when officers responded to a call from a man trying to kill himself.
When they arrived on the scene, he was no longer at the address. Inside an apartment a letter was found indicating the man was a danger to himself and others.

Collective Agreements
G3+ teacher salary qualification; trained and untrained pay scales
- Details
- Last Updated on Thursday, 31 October 2013 02:17
New Zealand Post Primary Teachers' Association / Te Wehengarua (PPTA) explanation of the trained and untrained pay scales; "˜registered' means "˜trained'; and clarification of G3+ salary qualification.
Trained and untrained salary scales "" from 13 April 2011
The March 2011 settlement of the Secondary Teachers' Collective Agreement (STCA) introduced separate trained and untrained pay scales from 13 April 2011, however this produced some inequalities for some teachers. A variation of the STCA was agreed in September 2011 to clarify that all teachers who are registered by the NZ Teachers Council (NZTC) are paid on the trained scale. This includes those who are provisionally registered and those whose registration is subject to confirmation.
Those with Limited Authority to Teach (LATs) will be paid on the untrained scale.
Registered means trained for the trained pay scale
The agreed September 2011 variation states that registration is the measure for meeting the teacher education requirement of being trained and qualified to teach in NZ. This replaces the earlier wording of the STCA of having to "hold a recognized teacher education qualification". This is because the NZTC, through its authority to grant registration, certifies that all teachers who are registered have engaged in learning comparable to that of a Level 7 graduate diploma in secondary teacher education.
G3+ salary qualification level for secondary teachers
Download variation to the STCA
This variation clarifies that for the G3+ qualification group, teacher education is recognized by registration so includes those who may not they have a particular teacher education qualification. The requirement to have a Level 7 subject/specialist qualification of which at least 72 credits are at Level 7 ie graduate level study remains unchanged. In NZ this includes three year bachelor degrees, one year 120 credit L7 diplomas and conjoint qualifications. For overseas teachers a statement from the NZ Qualifications Authority that verifies comparability of either a qualification or (and this is new) evidence of sufficient graduate study in a subject/specialist area.
Specialist qualifications can include management qualifications, special education qualifications, ESOL qualifications, guidance counselling qualifications, etc.
Qualification groups below G3+
From 13 April 2011, the variation states that registered teachers without a level 7 or higher specific subject / specialist qualification, ie have a level 5 or 6 qualification or no subject qualification at all, enter on step 3 and are in the G3 qualification group. Currently, for New Zealand trained teachers these could only be primary trained teachers as secondary trained teachers must have a L7 subject specialist area to gain entry in to a secondary teacher education course. Overseas trained teachers who become registered but who hold no subject / specialist qualification will also enter on step 3 as G3.
The G1 and G2 notations, with L5 and L6 subject qualifications respectively, continue to apply to teachers who enter with a LAT and are placed on the untrained scale according to their subject qualification. They also continue to apply to all registered teachers who previously were able to enter into secondary teacher training with subject qualifications less than L7.
Financial advantage from being G3+
The difference between the starting salary of G3 and G3+ is $2675 which is double what the difference was before the March 2011 settlement. The difference between the maxima for G3 and G3+ has also increased with that settlement from $3371 pa to $3600 pa gross.
Requirements to reach G3+
A teacher with a level 7 subject qualification but no teacher education can become G3+ by doing a one year course of teacher education (or the equivalent if part time). Your local teacher education institution will provide details of any suitable courses they have available. You can also check the NZQA website for suitable courses including any online courses available.
Link to New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) website
A teacher with a recognised teaching qualification but no level 7 subject qualification can complete a one year (if full time) level 7 subject/specialist qualification of 120 credits with at least 72 of those credits at level 7. (Be careful, some Level 7 qualifications do not meet the requirements of 120 credits with 72 of these at Level 7.)
One year Level 7 qualifications are usually called diplomas, advanced diplomas, or graduate diplomas. (A Level 8 postgraduate diploma would also get you to G3+, but it might be harder to gain entry to it if you do not have a university degree.)
You may have completed individual papers or partial qualifications which may be able to be credited towards the level 7 qualification you are considering. You would need to talk to the qualification provider about the amount of credit you would get towards that particular qualification.
You can look for possible suitable qualifications in your subject/specialism on the NZQA website.
Link to New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) website
Support available for teachers completing qualifications
Teachers who are completing qualifications to make them G3+ have priority in the annual allocation of the 75 full time study awards. These give teachers a year's paid leave to complete a course of study. (Secondary Teachers' Collective Agreement (STCA) clause 6.6.6)
Teachers may also apply for one of the 100 study support grants allocated each year. These provide $500 towards course fees and a four hour per week time allowance (an extra 4 hours non-contact time) for ongoing study during the year. (STCA 6.6.6A).
Applications open for these awards each year about April for the next year, and close mid year. They are advertised in the Education Gazette and through the usual PPTA channels.
Primary trained teachers in secondary schools
A primary trained teacher who is registered could become G3+ by doing just one year's full time equivalent study for a level 7 specialist qualification. The specialist qualification might be in a subject area or in special needs education, management etc.
PPTA does not advise members with primary teaching qualifications below Bachelor level to upgrade these to Bachelor degrees in teaching. This will only get you to G3, not to G3+. You are much better to focus your time and energy on achieving a specialist qualification that will get you to G3+.
Think you are there already "" or are registered without teacher training?
Some teachers may already have a G3+ qualification but not be at the top of the scale. This may be because the pay centre does not have a correct record of your qualifications.
Some registered teachers who have no "˜recognised teacher education qualification' and have therefore previously been regarded as "˜untrained' will now be eligible to move to the G3+ category from 13 April 2011.
Some non-permanent part time teachers may have G3+ qualifications but not have been moved to the top of the salary scale because they have not had an appraisal and attestation.
Non-permanent teachers should progress to the next step after 1000 hours of teaching (about 4 full terms of employment). (STCA 4.2.3 (d) (iii)) If you believe this may be what has happened to you, ask the principal at your current school (or the one you are employed at most frequently) to appraise and attest you for your salary increase.
If you think you are eligible for G3+ but have not been accessing the top step on the scale ($71,000) - or you think the variation may make a change for you then ask your pay centre for a statement of the qualifications they have on record for you "" and take it from there.
STCA 4.2 Application of salaries
Short-term relievers, however, are currently barred at Step 10 (STCA 4.4.1)
STCA 4.4 Payment of salaries - short term relievers
Contact your local PPTA field officer for advice
