Ohio Governor's Police Panel Calls For More Oversight
A task force studying Ohio police and community relations has narrowed down list of potential recommendations.
Ohio said it is increasing the dosage of the lethal injection drugs used to put condemned inmates to death.
The state said it is boosting the amount of the two-drug combo of a sedative and painkiller "to allay any remaining concerns" after the last execution, when an inmate made repeated snorting-like gasps as he died during his Jan. 14 execution.
The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said, "After the review, the Department remains confident that it conducted the execution in a humane, constitutional way and that the inmate was completely unconscious and felt no pain."
In an email, Smith went on to say, "After speaking with the Department's medical expert, examining other states' practices and considering the recommendations of the inmate's medical expert, the Department finds no harm in increasing the dosage levels of its drugs and has notified Judge Frost of this revision."
The state's policy change comes 30 days before the next scheduled execution on May 28, when a man convicted of killing a Cleveland produce vendor in 1983 is set to die.
McGuire's 26-minute execution was the longest since Ohio resumed putting inmates to death in 1999.

Socialism: Before "reforming" private industry, President Obama has to convince the public it's broken, just as he did with health care and banking. Next up on his workbench: the credit-scoring industry.
Obama's regulators claim consumer credit reports are full of "errors" and need to be "fixed." The claim is backed up by a new Federal Trade Commission study and a convenient rollout on "60 Minutes," which called its findings that 1 in 5 consumers has errors on their credit reports "unconscionable."
The government study is cynically designed to make "the 99%" think they're once again being screwed by "the 1%." Maybe you don't have bad credit, after all! Maybe you've been unfairly denied a loan, insurance or even a job!
Maybe the credit-scoring system used to gauge risk in millions of business transactions each day — the very bedrock of U.S. commerce — is corrupted.
And maybe Obama ought to step in and "reform" it.
But it's really just another collectivist ruse to equalize credit for all consumers (but specifically Democrat constituents), whether they pose a financial risk or not.
The FTC press release claims less than 80% of credit reporting is free of any error, and that's how the media have reported it.
The truth, however, is buried deep inside the report. On Page 55, the FTC admits 97.8% of credit reports contain no error that would materially increase scoring.
Even that is at odds with other studies.
The most comprehensive one, conducted in 2011 by the nonprofit Policy and Economic Research Council, found 99.5% of credit reports are materially accurate.
Difference is, the Obama FTC hired "researchers" to coach consumers in its survey how to file disputes with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and even helped them write dispute letters.
As a result, participants ID'd and disputed potential errors in 19.3% of the reports examined — four times the share in the PERC survey.
"This may be due to the use of consumer coaches," the FTC acknowledged. You think?
A 2004 Federal Reserve study, moreover, found that the chance of serious errors finding their way in credit histories "appears to be small."
Don't be misled, the administration is manufacturing another crisis to justify socializing and controlling yet another industry.

Ford F-450 Performance Exhausts
Unlock the unused power within your Ford F-450 with a new custom exhaust system from CARiD. All our custom exhaust systems are sourced from top manufacturers and are made using the latest technology to guarantee impressive boosts in performance. Typically, the stock exhaust is too small to make any significance impact on the engine's ability to generate maximum power. In contrast, custom exhaust systems are deliberately designed to be wider, instantly making them a more effective channel through which exhaust gas flows. Since there is no build up of spent gases within the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes, backpressure is lowered to the right level and engine power output increased. The Ford F-450 range of custom exhaust systems is impressive. We have complete exhaust systems from Borla, MagnaFlow, Banks, aFe, and RBP as well as performance headers, mufflers, catalytic converters and tips from Gibson, MBRP, Flowmaster, Go Rhino and dB.
Installing a direct replacement exhaust system from any of the brands above will give you an extra 5-10% in horsepower. Combining the exhaust system with a performance exhaust header will top it up by 10-20hp. More positive effects of fitting a custom exhaust system into the Ford F-450 are faster throttle response, greater towing power and faster acceleration. You will not only get instant power when you hit the accelerator, but will also enjoy greater horsepower at lower rpm, which means you will be getting a kick out of driving your F-450 at low speed. No longer will you need to work the engine to maximum rpm to get exhilarating power. Also, the Ford F-450 custom exhaust system is one that doesn't grow old. Whether from Borla, MagnaFlow, Banks, RBP or aFe, it has a certain level of aggressiveness that reeks of irresistible power.

Update, 6:20 p.m.: Former Dallas schools Chief of Staff Jerome Oberlton was released on a $25,000 bond Tuesday after pleading not guilty to charges of accepting kickbacks while he worked for Atlanta Public Schools.

Another chief of staff for the Dallas school district superintendent has resigned. This latest chief says he anticipates being named in a federal indictment.

Ole Miss sophomore Preston Overbey made his career debut at catcher on Tuesday, catching right-handed freshman Chris Ellis in a perfect ninth.
Due to the injury to sophomore Will Allen, and Taylor Hightower no longer being a member of the team, the Rebels only have freshman Austin Knight and junior college transfer Kody Sepulveda as catchers on the roster.

DCL Wonderful Wonder
Our first cruise with DCL was a magical experience. We had a last minute reservation which I was slightly worried about because we couldn't choose a cabin, it was assigned at the terminal. The cabins are the biggest we've ever had for regular cabins. The split bathrooms are genus. The curtains can be pulled so one can sleep and others in cabin can watch TV. The cabin stewards are very kind and friendly and keep the cabins in mint condition. The ship is older but well maintained. The three dining rooms are a neat concept, I loved Triton's, my husband loved Animator's Palate, and we both agreed Parrot Cay needed a major face lift. The food was good but sherbet needs to be added to dessert list with more flavors. I can not report on children's programs since we traveled without them, but all the other people that I spoke to about the programs both kids and parents were extremely pleased with everything. The Disney shows in The Walt Disney Theater are excellent, they should offer more More
than three on the longer cruises. There are so many programs offered during the cruise days some of my favorites are the arts of entertaining which is a cooking demo by DCL chefs and the different alcohol tastings. They were all very informative and fun. The adult pool area was our only disappointment, the pool is small and not with easy access to enter or exit the water. The ladder is hard on the feet. The sitting area did not have enough lounge chairs about 12 on each side and only about 15 other seats to sit and read a book. There were regular table and chairs but that is uncomfortable to sit and read. Also there is no beverage station in the adult only area you have to go all the way to the other end of the ship for a drink. The overall trip was great and I would book DCL again. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
Sport Fishing
My husband did this one. He tries to fish in each port if it's offered. This was the only port to offer a sports fishing trip and he said "it was a great trip, no fish were caught but the guys on the boat very helpful."
Not a place I was happy to stop in. Could have stopped before or after the canal crossing in Panama.
Culinary Tour
Best trip ever in this port. Oscar the chef was great. After cooking and eating we had two hours to swin at resort.
If you don't take a side trip mostly expensive shops and bars here. Would have liked going to Castaway Cay.
Very nice stop. Walked around and saw the city beautiful beach.

I'm going on a canoe exped in a few weeks and want to make mulled wine on a trangia. Any suggestions?
Put 2 bottles of red wine, 2 clementines or orange slices with some cloves stuck in the skin, 3 cinnamon sticks, 2 star anise, a thinly sliced apple, a nob of peeled ginger and an optional bay leave in a pan with the 1-pint (500mls) water. Warm, but do not boil. Keep warm for 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavours infuse. When warm add some brown sugar to your taste. Add a splash of brandy or rum if you desire for a little extra oomph.

New Jersey revenues will have to rise by nearly 12% to meet targets under Gov. Chris Christie's $32 billion budget, according to a legislative analysis released Thursday.
The state's two major taxes, income and sales, have trailed the budget projections so far from July to November. Income taxes have risen by 2% when compared to the same period as 2011, less than the 6% jump expected by the budget, the Office of Legislative Services found.
Sales taxes fell by .4% during the four month period this year compared to 2011. The budget projected a 6% increase in sales taxes.

Tax collections have trailed revenue projections for months, though superstorm Sandy impacted at least one revenue stream. Casino revenues are down nearly 10% from July to November in comparison to the same four month period last year.
"Casino revenues had been growing by a modest 4.7%, but October and November have seen a sharp reversal," the office found.
Also Thursday, the state released figures that showed unemployed dropped .1%, from 9.7% in October to 9.6% in November. The state lost 8,100 private and public jobs, which state officials attributed to Sandy.
"It seems clear that the storm generated some job losses, particularly in leisure and hospitality, but the total loss for the state was fairly modest," said Charles Steindel, Chief Economist for the New Jersey Department of Treasury.

Jose Mourinho branded Arsene Wenger a "specialist in failure" on Friday, seated in the press room at Cobham. If Mourinho had managed a win here, he would have completed a hat-trick over Manuel Pellegrini, who could then have been branded a specialist in succumbing to Jose's managerial prowess and mind games, having already been defeated on seven occasions. However, with the war of words in the press rooms heating up, Pellegrini, aided by a lethargic Chelsea performance, conducted his talking on the pitch to secure only his second career victory over Mourinho in nine attempts.

Chelsea one, Stoke nil is a score-line which refuses to tell the full story. You would be forgiven for assuming it was a close, tight encounter, but that was not the case. The narrow score-line came as a consequence of our profusion in front of goal as we squandered many promising openings. However, a touch of class from Oscar, who scored a spectacular free-kick and produced a commendable all-round display, was enough to book a fifth round tie with Manchester City as our love affair with the FA Cup continued.
We have been crowned FA Cup champions four times in the last seven editions of the world's greatest cup competition. In total, we have lifted the planet's oldest existing football competition eight times, two behind Arsenal with 10 triumphs and three behind Manchester United with 11, despite having absurdly not won the cup in the last 10 years, 11 now after their disappointing defeat to Swansea on Sunday. It is fair to say Wembley has become something of our second home as we always seem to go far in the cup. Another potential Wembley date began at the iPro Stadium with a convincing two goal victory over Premier League promotion hopefuls Derby County to progress into the fourth round.

Last time we caught sight of Manchesterford United in the league, we were unbeaten and four points ahead of them. At the end of an ugly afternoon we still had a point in hand, but since then they've disappeared over the horizon with a turn of speed that suggests their collective arse was on fire.
Match Reports
The Guardian, Daniel Taylor: "It will probably register as the most satisfying result of Rafael Benítez's short and difficult time in office and not just because it was possibly the first time he was spared the condemnation of Chelsea's supporters. His team can look forward to an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City and, after all the personal indignities Benítez has suffered, he will probably not care too much that it was such a scruffy game to get them to Wembley."

A Sunday Soujourn in Salford, South Louisiana and err, Romford
There is a theme running through so many cinematic genres; the cop thriller, the horror movie, the spy movie, to quote just three examples, where the "baddie" finally has the hero within his grasp and ultimate victory beckons. And yet the evil genius, who in some cases has built whole empires of evil, who has meticulously planned some astonishing, evil feat of criminal activity or worse still a series of evil, horrifying, toe curling, sadistic murders, all of which are typified by an evil attention to the smallest detail and subtleties of timing, somehow feels the need to pause and soliloquise about their motives, their hatred for the hero, the reasons for their maladjusted behaviour, their dysfunctional relationship with their mother, you name it, you've all watched 'em. They just have to ramble on. And in that pause, that hesitation, that unfathomable and uncharacteristic hiatus between opportunity and action, all is lost.

Disillusionment and apathy abound. There is a distinct lack of vision, plan or grand scheme at the club. We are simply going through the motions, and we are no longer doing it in style. This draining feeling of jadedness is, of course, nothing new. We've been here before. But when disillusionment has reached critical mass – a breaking point – fortunes usually changed for the better. Sure, back to back victories have papered over the cracks and carefully disguised mafia-like inner workings, but we should be putting four past Wigan at home and dispatching Sparta Prague in the round of 32 of Europe's Coca-Cola league with relative ease.
The Preamble
I woke gently at 8:30am to a warm, sunny Sunday morning in Britain after the big freeze of the previous few weeks. A day when Britain decides to finally step out of the house en masse to descend upon shopping malls, supermarkets and Sunday markets to the collective sighs of relief from retail giants and minnows facing the ugly prospect of a triple-dip recession as a pre-cursor to the inevitable coalition government cries of it's a quadruple/quintuple dip recession. All of course caused by the endlessly bleated excuse of 'the previous mob left us with a huge deficit' which we all contributed to by just trying to better ourselves.
The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall
It is difficult to credit now, but there was a time when Chelsea winning the FA Cup was deemed so unlikely, it provided the comic material for a popular song written circa 1933. "On the Day That Chelsea Went and Won the Cup" (sung by Norman Long) describes ever more unlikely scenarios coming true purely because the world has been stood on its head by Chelsea winning the FA Cup. The fact that Chelsea were a team who'd spent most of their life in the top division and should have been well capable of winning such an important trophy only made the song more pointed.
I will start by saying that my views are invariably coloured by having grown up in Tottenham and being related to a number of Spurs fans as well as counting some among my closest friends. These days I rarely take the deep joy that is afforded most Chelsea fans when we discomfit them. Like an Aintree vet, destroying Spurs is something I see as necessary but unpalatable, so this report may be too restrained for some tastes. (And it's interesting to note how the term "destroy", which was once the standard way of referring to putting down injured race horses seems to be disappearing from the racing lexicon. Not good for the marketing I presume.)
The preamble
I haven't seen us play better this season than we did on Wednesday night against Napoli. Second half every single player did well – even Malouda and Bosingwa. For me, however, the match was really won by Drogba. He was back to his infuriating best: one moment monstering their central defenders, the next scoring with a diving header, and the next falling down clutching his face looking for free kicks. To win 4-1 against a very good Napoli side and to play for two hours with that intensity makes me proud to be a Chelsea fan.

Here at Chelsea FC Blog, with our ear ever pressed to the bedroom wall, the better to hear what the lusting youth of the zeitgeist may be getting up to with our rumbustious neighbour of fate, we have been poking around in those nether regions where our sense of the rational gives way to ridiculously inexplicable emotion, with a survey of fans' particular rituals and superstitions. Our enquiry into whether statistics, strategy, diet, preparation can really be countered by wearing a pair of 15 year old "lucky blue pants" has mirrored the clash of science and religion that has erupted in the courts, media and legislature of this land.

You're walking through the 'Nothing to Declare' channel at the airport and, even though you've got nothing incriminating in your suitcase aside from dirty underwear, a Sooty hand puppet and a copy of Jimmy, the autobiography of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, you can't help looking furtive and making yourself a prime candidate for 'Step this way, sir'. A guilty conscience is ingrained in our psyche I guess.
So even though I lay claim to not having a racist bone in my body and have for years lived and worked in harmony with a variety of creeds and cultures, I couldn't help but feel on edge that today, of all days, I would suffer some mental aberration or seizure that would make me involuntarily utter some hideous racist outburst in the presence of police head-cams, TV cameras and thousands of fans who have been encouraged to spill the beans on their fellow man. Fortunately the day passed without incident and I remain a free man and in possession of my season ticket.
My last visit to Loftus Road was in 1970 when we won 4-2 on the route to Wembley. I was fortunate enough to go to every tie of that success, excluding the replays. Extrapolating forward my next visit to QPR is scheduled for 2054 and I'm hoping by then that a) the ground has been demolished because it was a dump 42 years ago and it's got worse since and b) I've received a long service medal.

FA Cup: Chelsea 1-1 Everton (3-4 on penalties)
Newspaper reports
The Observer, Paul Wilson: "Chelsea may be hoping to sharpen their front line with Fernando Torres but they have Petr Cech to thank for keeping them in the FA Cup. The goalkeeper produced a save from Seamus Coleman to prevent Everton going two in front that proved a turning point when Chelsea mounted a swift counterattack to equalise, then denied Jermaine Beckford with a fingertip save in the final minutes to earn a replay. A draw was a fair result in a game that only got going at half -time, yet Everton did enough to win and could reasonably claim that only Cech prevented them inflicting the first Cup defeat on Chelsea since March 2008."
Sunday Telegraph, Rory Smith: "Chelsea returned to London from their first visit to Merseyside this weekend mired in stalemate, aware that they will be given a second chance at success early next month. Roman Abramovich will be aware that his second, rather more expensive, foray north-west in the next 48 hours will not come with a do-over."
Official Chelsea FC Website: "Chelsea had to come from a goal down to earn an FA Cup replay at Everton on Saturday afternoon. Substitute Salomon Kalou did the trick 16 minutes from time when he slotted home into the bottom corner at a time when it looked for all the world like the holders would be heading out at the fourth round stage."

The Guardian, Dominic Fifield: "Chelsea have their light relief. Some two months of mounting frustration were taken out on Ipswich to offer the defending Premier League champions and FA Cup holders a reminder that their scintillating early‑season form can still be replicated. There was no manic celebration from Carlo Ancelotti on the sidelines but a playful wave to those in the Matthew Harding stand chanting his name. It was not one of farewell."
Daily Telegraph, Jeremy Wilson: "The depth of Chelsea's squad had always reduced the possibility for significant rotation today but, in Josh McEachran and Daniel Sturridge, there is also hope that an ageing squad can be partially renewed. Sturridge's two excellent finishes were what most caught the eye but the selfless industry of McEachran was arguably more impressive. At Just 17, McEachran was superb breaking up the play and recycling possession in John Obi-Mikel's usual holding role in front of the defence."

The Observer, Paul Wilson: "Didier Drogba's 37th goal of the season, and sixth in seven Wembley appearances, earned Chelsea the FA Cup and their first Double – so no surprises there. This was not the boring final everyone had feared, however. Thanks in no small part to Portsmouth's extraordinary competitive spirit, it was a good deal more enjoyable and entertaining than many of its predecessors. There were times – not very long times, admittedly – when it was almost tense."
Sunday Telegraph, Duncan White: "They could lay a swamp for a pitch at Wembley and not stop Didier Drogba scoring. The brave last stand of this motley group of Portsmouth players could not prevent the Ivory Coast international from scoring his third FA Cup final winner and his sixth in six competitive games at this stadium. His superb free-kick, struck just before the hour, was his 37th goal of the campaign, and brought Carlo Ancelotti the Double in his debut season."

The Observer, Jamie Jackson: "Chelsea are still on course for a historic first Double. An often soporific FA Cup semi-final ended with Carlo Ancelotti's team setting up a meeting with Tottenham or Portsmouth, who clash here tomorrow, in May's showpiece. By then this team will hope to have bagged the Premier League, and be halfway to immortality in their west London manor."
Sunday Telegraph, Duncan White: "There is something about Didier Drogba in this competition at this venue. He scored in the semi-final and the final last year and he did it again, his instinctive finish the goal that effectively sent holders Chelsea into the final."

The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: "Chelsea entered the semi-finals of the FA Cup with a purposefulness that almost suggested the defence of the trophy was their priority. The victors were probably more intent on recovering confidence after consecutive defeats in other competitions. It was, in a sense, to their advantage that Stoke City should demand the best of them."
The Times, Frank Praverman: "John Terry scored one and set up the other to send Chelsea through to the last four of the FA Cup. The deposed England captain has rarely been out of the spotlight over the past month due to alleagtions about his private life. But today he was hitting the headlines for all the right reasons."

The Observer, Amy Lawrence: "Not so long ago, Didier Drogba was the cartoon villain of Stamford Bridge. For anyone not of a Chelsea persuasion, the Ivory Coast striker's penchant for theatrics, for moaning, for sulking, made him difficult to warm to. Now, certainly in the context of some of his less wholesome team-mates, he is nothing but admirable."
Sunday Telegraph, Gerry Cox: "Although it looked ultimately like a comfortable victory for Chelsea against a club who were almost bankrupted last week, Cardiff showed no paucity of grit or effort and for the best part of an hour threatened to upset the cup-holders."

The Observer, Paul Wilson: ""Beast!" hissed the home crowd, respectfully, as the portly Jon Parkin was sent on to chase a two-goal deficit for the last half hour. "You fat bastard!" bellowed the Chelsea fans in the Bill Shankly end. Not particularly romantic, granted, but you cannot make a fairytale out of every FA Cup mismatch. At least Darren Ferguson's second defeat in his short period in charge of Preston was nowhere near as grim as the DVD of Chelsea's 7-2 thrashing of Sunderland with which he has been torturing himself all week, and after taking on a virtually full-strength Chelsea team in his first home game the new manager's task can only get easier."
Sunday Telegraph, Rory Smith: "Far from their imperious best, Carlo Ancelotti's side simply did enough to swat Preston's challenge aside, taking the lead in slightly fortuitous fashion through Nicolas Anelka before seeing Daniel Sturridge double it with the first attack of the second half. All hope extinguished and progression secure. The holders are on the march."

The Guardian, Dominic Fifield: "If only life without Didier Drogba could always prove this comfortable. Chelsea's first fixture since their African contingent departed for Angola was little more than a stroll through the third round, with Championship opponents hopelessly outclassed and the contest reduced early into a training exercise serving to pep the Londoners' confidence."
Daily Telegraph, Jeremy Wilson: "Ancelotti began with a slight surprise by switching from the diamond formation that has generally served him so well this season, with Juliano Belletti playing the holding position in front of the defence while Florent Malouda and Joe Cole were the most advanced midfielders in support of Sturridge."

Match reports
The Observer, Paul Wilson: "This is the first trophy Chelsea have won since Jose Mourinho signed off his silverware account with victory against Manchester United here two years ago, and as the outstanding Florent Malouda was unlucky to be denied a third goal with a shot that bounced down from the crossbar and over the line, there was no case for arguing that they were not worthy winners."
Independent on Sunday, Steve Tongue: "Yellow was the colour at a brilliantly sunny Wembley yesterday as Chelsea, in their second strip, deservedly won the FA Cup after the shock of conceding the fastest goal in the 137-year history of the final. Louis Saha's stunning effort after 25 seconds was the high point of the afternoon for Everton by a long way, one that they rarely threatened to approach. Chelsea were level within 20 minutes through Didier Drogba's header, and Frank Lampard, second only to Florent Malouda as their leading performer, won an enjoyable game that would almost certainly have touched headier heights were it not for the debilitating heat."

The Observer, Paul Wilson: "Arsenal's supposed resurgence was put into perspective when they were faced down by more determined opponents and clobbered by a late strike from Didier Drogba that took Chelsea to the FA Cup final. This was the first time in more than 60 years that Chelsea had prevailed against Arsenal in the Cup, but Arsène Wenger's players only had themselves to blame."
Sunday Telegraph, Duncan White: "The winner, coming just six minutes from the end was vintage Drogba. Frank Lampard's volleyed ball over the top looked harmless enough until Drogba started pounding across the turf. Mikael Silvestre was shrugged off with ease en route, as the Chelsea striker shifted the ball around the on-rushing Lukasz Fabianski with his right foot before steering it into the empty net with his left."

Sunday Times, Joe Lovejoy: "Chelsea hardly had to change out of second gear to dispose of disappointingly poor opposition, whose performance reflected their status in the bottom half of the Championship. Coleman's post-match complaint that the referee, Steve Bennett, had been "too smug and friendly" with the Chelsea players and had "talked down" to the home team had the sour-grapes taste of a bad loser."
Independent on Sunday, James Corrigan: "Five out of five and at least one visit to Wembley booked in for the fans. Guus Hiddink's first four weeks in charge must now be credited as being the start of dreams. Of a billionaire's dream at that. In truth, though, anything but advancement from this rather dull FA Cup quarter-final would have been disappointing for Guy the Gorilla, never mind Guus the Genius; particularly as Hiddink fielded his strongest XI. With the Champions' League return leg at Juventus looming on Tuesday, it was, as the Coventry manager, Chris Coleman, called it, "the greatest compliment"."

The Observer, Paul Wilson: "There was no St Valentine's Day massacre, either of Watford's Cup hopes or of Chelsea's attempts to reinvent themselves under the gaze of a new manager, though there was a Sapphic proposal of marriage at half time: To Linda from Jackie. Far more interesting than anything that happened in the game, but the manager sent from Russia with love will get used to that."
Sunday Telegraph, Duncan White: "It's going to be a tough week at Chelsea' Cobham training ground and Hiddink must draw deep on his well of football wisdom if he is to turn this Chelsea side into a team capable of securing silverware. Nicolas Anelka scored twice within a minute to save Chelsea an embarrassing elimination in front of their new coach."

Sunday Telegraph, Jonathan Wilson: "Perhaps in the Cup all that matters is progress, and Chelsea did achieve that, but if they were hoping mid-table Championship opponents would give them an opportunity to rediscover their swagger, they were disappointed. Home is still an uncomfortable place for Chelsea."
Sunday Times, Brian Glanville: "Amidst all these swirling rumours about Chelsea's corporate future, the team stuttered then succeeded against a resolute Ipswich Town. For a while when Ipswich had equalised it had looked as though the 3-0 thrashing at Old Trafford and the humiliating home draw in the previous FA Cup round against Southend would have a sad sequel."
Read more on Chelsea 3-1 Ipswich Town – Newspaper Reaction, Match Report…
The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: "If hardship was good for the soul then Chelsea will be revived by a victory they would once have viewed as a chore. Having conceded an opener fecklessly, they were not at peace until their two late goals, taken by Nicolas Anelka and Frank Lampard from Salomon Kalou's service. Kalou had given Chelsea a 2-1 lead after Southend had been ahead. The bad news was limited to a knee injury for Joe Cole, who had been most effective. This was the second win for his side in seven games."
Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: "Fog briefly put this tie in doubt, just as clouds of uncertainty had hung to Scolari's reign. When Adam Barrett gave Steve Tilson's gutsy side the lead, the pressure mounted on Scolari but goals from Michael Ballack, Salomon Kalou, Nicolas Anelka and Frank Lampard showed Chelsea's character and set up a fourth-round date with Ipswich Town."

The Observer, Paul Doyle: "Chelsea began powerfully and seemed determined to impose their class on a side that had needed a replay to squeeze past non-League Telford in the first round. But they were thwarted by Southend's diligent defending and their own wretched shooting."
Sunday Telegraph, Steve Thompson: "Chelsea may indeed be in second place in the Premier League and also in the last 16 of the Champions League, but their vulnerability at home, where they have mustered only four league victories, is an increasing cause for alarm, especially when they fail to dispose of opponents 55 places below them in football's pyramid."

How to cut double threads?
terry76November 12, 2006
I was needeing to know how to cut double threads on a engine lathe. If anyone can help I would greatly apprecate it.
Thank You,
Double Start Thread
Double Start Thread
Not sure when done last but hope I get it right?
On some machines there is a easy way to turn a gear, especially good for more starts like 3 or 4 but moving the tool with compound works too.
Lets assume.... when looking at the bolt [thread] and checking with the thread gauge for pitch and it will show
"8"...8 threads per inch, .125 pitch, this is half, so you are actually cutting 4 threads per inch, when done, move the tool over on your compound by .125" to be between the thread you have cut and start cutting second thread.

Searching for glitchers is a waste of time and thought. You think smashing them on one of them rare games you run into them is gonna make them say,"dang i just got my arse wooped i should stop cheating"? You cant stop the inevitable. All they are gonna do is rage quit and keep at it in another game.

I could just say that being on the PS3 and playing the game is a "waste of time and thought". I could be out getting married to a man, having kids and staying in the kitchen for the rest of my life. Hm... yeah, I'd much rather be hunting glitchers thanks :P

I ghost glitched today.
I killed MANY, MANY good honest players.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't entirely my fault.
I was playing in convoy, swooped in as a jet to grab the energon recharger, changed to robot mode, and bam! I was somehow moving at the speed of light and ghost glitching.
I could have changed back to jet mode and got out of it.
I didn't. I was bad.
The good news is that I was out of ammo so I just went around smacking people.
The bad news is that it was incredibly effective and I killed lots of defenseless autobots.
It was sort of funny to walk into a group of five autobots and just start smack people around, lol.
...again I'm very sorry.
But hey, I did stop and let their team win.
And it was a close game, within like 3 kills. So that had to be more fun and exciting then just a wash out victory, right?

My 86 year old MIL has been living with us for almost 2 years now. She has mild to moderate dementia and is unable to manage most everything. Reasoning skills, memory, judgment is what it is at this point and I have quit my job to stay with her full time. I'm holding my own with this and some days have to struggle to see the bright side of the situation (honestly). We seem to be dealing with something new. She has been experiencing spells of intense and extreme sadness and hopelessness. She acts like she hurts but is unable to describe where the "pain"is. Nothing hurts but everything hurts. She becomes weepy and cries for hours on end and can't tell me why or what the problem is. She is just "sad" or she has the "blues". She at times becomes very withdrawn and sleeps for hours on end, but is exhausted. You can imagine what this does to her blood sugar and what little memory and judgment ability seem to deminish. She gets her nights and days mixed up. This is really affecting her health (her doctor says she does remarkably well for her age health wise) The last bout with this lasted about 10 to 14 days. I have an appointment to discuss this with her Dr. next week. I think she is suffering from depression.
Has anyone else delt with this and can you give me any advice? It's so hard to watch her suffer with this. She has always been so pleasant and positive.
Depression is very common in the elderly. WHen you discuss this with her doctor, be certain you are familiar with all the side effects of anti-depressant medications. They are strong stuff but can really help.
Also, don't depend upon her to take them daily. You may find it necessary to dispense them to her yourself. You don't want her to get confused and dose herself twice because she forgot she's already taken one!
Good luck to you and congratulations for taking the initiative to help her.
Just an update. The visit today with her doctor was very productive. There was no doubt she is very depressed. He prescribed a very low dose antidepressant. He really spent time with her to get a handle on the situation. He also assured me that depression goes hand in hand with all sorts of dementia. I'm very hopeful that soon she will feel better. I know this antidepressant dosage is sort of trial and error and different for everyone and might have to be adjusted. I handle all her medications and dispense them when she needs them--she lost that ability a year or so ago. So I guess at the moment it's just a wait and see sort of thing. I am hopeful this will help!
The trouble with depression among the elderly -- usually compounded by some level of dementia -- is that it typically carries with it a considerable level of rationality. They're older and they know it; they know death is coming closer; they know they can't function as they used to and returning to such function is unlikely; something else is always happening; they don't do anything really useful anymore; many/most of their friends are already gone or incapacitated -- man, that's depressing! Especially with dementia, the ability to think your way out of it and/or "see the bright side" or "make a mental adjustment" is diminished. Even the normally upbeat have bouts of it.
Just about all anti-depressants are hit-and-miss affairs and they all take a while to kick in before you can tell. Just be sure she's regular with her dosages. They can be very effective. However, don't be hesitant about follow-ups if, after a reasonable period of time, you're not seeing results. Finding the right one at the right dosage is sometimes difficult.
Thanks so much for the advice. You describe the situation with her very well. She does have dementia but still has times when she knows that she is unable to do many things because she "messes it up" (as she puts it) Its hard to get her to try anything new or gain a new interest when she has difficulity with the smallest things. When the depression sets in she looses all interest with the things she can still do. Her view of herself is very poor. I'm thankful that she was able to convey that with her doctor and he really took an active interest to make her feel better. He is a real God send. Thanks again for the interest and replies to my post. I was beginning to feel pretty hopeless about the situation myself.
When you take her to the Doctors are you in the room with her?
Reason I ask is when I took my MIL to the Dr she had a habit of forgetting to tell the Dr of all her symptoms.
I let her answer all the questions but would prompt her on certain symptoms that I knew she was having BUT she wouldn't or couldn't remember to the tell the Dr.
That way I knew what was happening & didn't have to rely on her memory/interpretation of the visit.
Lots of luck..
Yes I am in the room with her and have been the entire time she has lived with us. Even when she lived independently (before my FIL passed away) I took her to see the doctor and went in with her. She was having some confusion and forgetfullness even then. My FIL was sharp as a tack until he became ill and died. He was very hard of hearing so my being there was a necessity. I listened and conveyed the information to him and he did a great job with her. We had no idea how much he was dealing with till she moved in with us.
I have handled all of her medications from day one because she was occasionally confused and we didn't want any medication errors or double dosing. At this point she has no idea what or how much she takes of anything and the medication is well out of her reach because at times she will take anything she gets her hands on.

There are also some regional differences. In Sao Paulo things are not the same as in Minas Gerais, and we 'paulistas' (people from Sao Paulo) must learn how 'mineiros' (people from Minas Gerais) think, and what they really mean, and vice versa.
Many years ago, my wife (from Minas Gerais) and I were at my aunt's home, in Sao Paulo, and she invited us to stay for dinner. My wife said 'no, we must go', and we left. Outdoors, my wife says: "I'd like to have stayed, I was really enjoying the time". I, astonished, ask her "So why didn't you accept"? - "Well, she only invited once".
So, in Minas Gerais, you need to invite three times, that shows it is a true invitation.
Inspired by a popular guide to Understanding the British, I've put together a few entries in a Foreigners' Guide to Understanding Brazilians. Portuguese speakers and Brazilianists are invited to add more in the comments. Hat tip to Brazil-based journalists Andrew Downie and Dom Phillips, who contributed items, and Olivier Teboul, a Frenchman living in Belo Horizonte whose list of "Brazilian curiosities" (in Portuguese) has generated a huge response from amused, and sometimes bemused, locals.
What Brazilians say: Yes (Sim)
What foreigners hear: Yes
What Brazilians mean: Anything from yes through perhaps to no
What Brazilians say: Perhaps (Talvez)
What foreigners hear: Perhaps
What Brazilians mean: No
What Brazilians say: No (Não)
What foreigners hear (on the very rare occasion a Brazilian says it): No
What Brazilians mean: Absolutely never, not in a million years, this is the craziest thing I've ever been asked
What Brazilians say: I'm nearly there (Tô chegando)
What foreigners hear: He's nearly here
What Brazilians mean: I've set out
What Brazilians say: I'll be there in ten minutes (Vou chegar em dez minutinhos)
What foreigners hear: He'll be here soon
What Brazilians mean: Some time in the next half-hour I'll get up off the sofa and start looking for my car keys
What Brazilians say: I'll show up later (Vou aparecer mais tarde)
What foreigners hear: He'll be here later
What Brazilians mean: I won't be coming
What Brazilians say: Let's stay in touch, ok? (A gente se vê, vamos combinar, ta?)
What foreigners hear: He'd like to stay in touch (though, puzzlingly, we don't seem to have swapped contact details)
What Brazilians mean: No more than a Briton means by: "Nice weather, isn't it?"
What Brazilians say: I'm going to tell you something/ Let me tell you something/ It's the following/ Just look and you'll see (Vou te falar uma coisa/ Deixa te falar uma coisa/ É o seguinte/ Olha só pra você ver)
What foreigners hear (especially after many repetitions): He thinks I'm totally inattentive or perhaps mentally deficient
What Brazilians mean: Ahem (it's just a verbal throat-clear)
What Brazilians say: A hug! A kiss! (Um abraço! Um beijo!)
What foreigners hear: I've clearly made quite an impression—we've just met but he/she really likes me!
Waht Brazilians mean: Take care, cheers, bye
What Brazilians say: You speak Portuguese really, really well! (Você fala português super-bem!)
What foreigners hear: How great! My grammar and accent must be coming on a lot better than I thought
What Brazilians mean: How great! A foreigner is trying to learn Portuguese! Admittedly, the grammar and accent are so awful I can barely understand a word... but anyway! A foreigner is trying to learn Portuguese!

can't get my Plumies to go to sleep
I live in Utah. Have 2 plumerias (golden something--anybody wanna feel generous and send some cuttings?) that I nurse along.
They go outside in early June and back inside in late September or when the night temps drop below 50.
Last year there were no flowers, but the previous 2 years, I finally got flowers. The plants are in 5 gal. buckets.
I want them to rest during the winter but have not been successful in getting them to sleep.
I wait until the night temp drops to the 45-50 deg range. But sometimes (many times) the weather has gone from 50 deg. at night, with the next night being in the 20s.
So, inside they go, before the low temperatures.
Because I bring them indoors, where the temp. is much warmer, they keep growing instead of going dormant.
I let them dry out as much as I can. This year I haven't watered them in 3 months and I cut off all the leaves. But they are still trying to put out new leaves, especially at the tip.
I opened a window in the room they are in--dropped the temp to 40, but when I close the window the temp goes back up to 60 or so and they seem perfectly happy to continue to grow, even though I have stopped watering.
The plants need to be divided. One year I tried to do cuttings indoors and even though I treated the ends with sulfur, then sealed them with wax, they went black & mushy. So, I know there are mold spores in the house that are just waiting to get at a wounded Plumie.
I'm afraid to do cuttings with them not being dormant & being inside, especially with loosing my other ones. And these are my last two.
If dormant, I assume there's much less of a chance of them getting disease when I make cuttings. But how do I get the darn things to go to sleep?
Or should I give in and keep them growing, with no rest?
I want Plumerias--even though I am in zone 5!
Since they're native to the tropics, you really can't expect them to rest in the same way as temperate plants do. Some plumeria cultivars don't sleep at all, so don't sweat trying to get them to go dormant.
I always leave mine to do their own thing, never cutting off their leaves unless they're going yellow anyway. Mine stay in the house (temps in 67-71 range) from December to April and a few stay lush and green the entire time while some drop all their leaves in late December and don't flush out again until February or March.
Most will keep at least a few leaves over winter, but regardless, their dormancy is not long. Full dormancy is also not required for flowering the next season. Some plumerias just skip a year blooming while they put on height.
As for taking cuttings, late winter/early spring is the ideal time to do it, and preferably from wood that's not too green.
I also live in Utah (Cache Valley). All of my approximately 30 plumeria are growing under high intensity grow lights in a basement room. Only one has gone dormant. The others are growing like winter has not come. About 7 have bloomed since coming inside. I see no reason to make them go dormant.
Hello !!!
I agree with Jen and Kevin,
Let them do what they like...If they want to continue to grow. let them!!! I have half of my trees growing and the other half in the back room resting for the winter. This for me is done because of space needs. The other trees are some of my favorites and have inflos still pushing and i want to see if they will continue to bloom.
Let them grow and then cut them in the spring then ( if needed) give away or root the cuttings!!! I will start to prune mine in early to mid march. I cant wait!!!
Good Luck Bob!!!
Take care,
Hello to you all!!! I am excited to say that I will too be in Utah soon.... maybe in the next month... moving to Pleasant View/Ogden area... happy to see that Plumies can survive.. just worried that they'll be shocked and wont survive. also have some succulents/cacti that I hope will be alright... but do have some hope! :)
thanks everyone. Now, I'm not so afraid of being unable to force them to go dormant.
Hope I can have succces with cuttings in March. Am a bit afraid of taking cutting of non-dormant plant, white sap dripn all over.
I suppose I let the wound callous before I repot (but that's another question).
To Chuy415, welcome to cold & dry Utah. Growing things here is really different than rest of the country. But it's still possible.
I even have a dwarf Valencia orange tree I got at nursery in CA. Carried it back in car. Keep it inside for 8-9 months of year (just like plumies), then it goes outdoors for the summer.
I get blossoms about Christmas time.
with the Plumies in Utah--I'm sure there will be some shock. Make certain they are transported in such a way that they don't get too cold.
Once here, you'll probably be able to put them outside, without threat of snow, in June. If you want to put them out earlier, watch weather, make sure you don't leave them out over-night. And it is so dry here, misting the leaves is helpful. Hope u enjoy the mountains.
thanks again everyone.
Hi Sunslight,
Anytime you take a cutting from your tree, the best advice given is to wait at least 7 days for it to callous up before you repot to root.
Some like to seal the stem from where you took the cutting, some will leave it be. If it is exposed to rain and different conditions, then i would suggest to seal the cut. Some use Tile Sealant Latex and some like Waterproof Wood Glue. I prefer the wood glue, although the choice is up to you. This is to prevent anything like bugs, water to get in and cause more rot and damage to your tree.
Good Luck!!!

A friend works at a tech company and gave me a unit that was going to be scrapped. Works fine and looks easy to set up.
Details here: http://www.thermoscientific.com/en/p...-chillers.html
Manual here: http://www.sun-way.com.tw/Files/Down...e/TF%20900.pdf
Temperature range is 41 - 104F. I use a plate chiller for 11g batches, and have a cooler to control ferm temps.
I'm open to assisting the plate chiller, or having a standalone ferm controller. Any ideas?

NFL Preview - Green Bay (7-3) at Atlanta (8-2)
By Shawn Clarke, Contributing NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - It's common for southerners to make their guests feel right at home. The Atlanta Falcons haven't received that memo and look to make Green Bay's visit to the Georgia Dome a forgettable one when the two NFC powerhouses collide Sunday afternoon.
The Falcons are 5-0 at home this season and own an 18-3 record under head coach Mike Smith at the Georgia Dome. Rising young star Matt Ryan is 18-1 (.947) as the host -- the most home wins for any quarterback in the league over the last three seasons. He's also won 14 straight in Atlanta.
Ryan, who has thrown at least one touchdown pass in a career-high nine straight games, led the Falcons to a 34-17 victory over St. Louis on Sunday from the Edward Jones Dome, improving to 20-4 in dome games since the 2008 campaign. He completed 26-of-39 passes for 253 yards and two scores, and has six touchdown passes with no interceptions in his last three games. Ryan is part of an offense that hasn't turned the ball over in three straight weeks.
"What can you say about him? Our guy continues to mature, it is his third season as we all know and I think each and every game he continues to get better," Smith said of Ryan after improving to an NFC-best 8-2. "Matt has a very good understanding of our offense and he is becoming the leader of our football team."
Atlanta was able to orchestrate the no-huddle offense with ease under Ryan, the 2008 Offensive Rookie of the Year, and used 70 offensive plays to shut down the Rams' defense. Racking up 391 yards of offense and running back Michael Turner recording another 100-yard performance helps too, as the Falcons posted their fourth straight win and lead both New Orleans and Tampa Bay by one game in the NFC South.
Turner will try to penetrate the Packers' tough defense for his sixth 100-yard effort of the season. He came away with 131 yards and a score on 28 carries last week and has hit the century mark in rushing five times this season. A productive Turner usually translates into a more dangerous day for Ryan.
Green Bay will be ready for whatever Ryan and the Atlanta offense has to offer, as it's coming off Sunday's 31-3 rout of the downtrodden Minnesota Vikings at Mall of America Field.
Aaron Rodgers destroyed Minnesota's secondary for 301 yards and a career-high four touchdown passes, leading the Packers to their fourth straight win and a 7-3 record. The Packers are tied with the Chicago Bears atop the NFC North standings and are in the midst of playing four of five games outside of Lambeau Field. That hasn't mattered so far for Rodgers and a potent offense.
"When he gets in a zone like that, there is no quarterback better," said wideout Greg Jennings, who ended with 152 yards and three scores on seven receptions. "He is so accurate, able to extend plays with his legs, then he can run when you give him the lane. He puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you have a quarterback back there who can do everything you don't want him to be able to do. It's exciting for us."
What's also exciting for the offense is that it has yet to turn the ball over for three straight games, something it hasn't done since the 1963 campaign. Green Bay had turned the ball over 13 times over the first seven weeks after the team established a new franchise-low with just 16 giveaways for the entire 2009 regular season. The last turnover for the Packers was a Rodgers interception against Minnesota at home back in Week 7.
Keeping the football out of Ryan's hands will be key Sunday. Green Bay had two takeaways in the Twin Cities, as Brett Favre was intercepted by Packers cornerback Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson forced a fumble. Woodson tied a career-high with four forced fumbles a season ago and has already matched that total with six contests remaining on the season.
Green Bay has a 12-11 edge in its overall regular-season series with Atlanta, but the Falcons came through with a 27-24 triumph at Lambeau Field when these teams last faced one another, back in 2008. The Packers prevailed in their most recent visit to the Georgia Dome, which took place in 2005, by a 33-25 count.
The Packers and Falcons have also squared off twice in postseason play, with Green Bay earning a 37-20 home win in a 1995 NFC First Round Playoff and Atlanta stunning the Packers in Wisconsin by a 27-7 score in the opening round of the 2002 NFC Playoffs. That latter game marked the first postseason loss at Lambeau Field in the Packers' history.
Atlanta's Smith is 1-0 in his career against the Packers, while Green Bay's Mike McCarthy is 0-1 all-time versus both Smith and the Falcons.
Rodgers (2,601 yards, 19 TD, 9 INT) posted a season-best 141.3 passer rating and helped set the final nail in Minnesota's coffin with four TD passes. He also beat Favre for the second time this year and has thrown three or more touchdown strikes three times this season. Rodgers hasn't been picked off since a Week 7 win over the Vikings. He has faced the Falcons once before and lit them up for 313 yards and three scores with an interception in a 27-24 loss at home on Oct. 5, 2008. On Sunday, the Packers showed no signs of rust after their bye week, especially Jennings, who recorded just his second 100- yard receiving performance of the season. Jennings (703 yards, 9 TD) has six touchdown catches in his last five games and became the first Packer to post three touchdown receptions in a game since wide receiver Javon Walker did so at Indianapolis on Sept. 26, 2004. Jennings has turned the corner since a three-game stretch with only 65 yards on three catches. The former Western Michigan star also became the first Packer since wide receiver Sterling Sharpe (12 straight) to post six or more catches in five consecutive games. Green Bay will have to get its ground game going since it's rated 19th in that category. Brandon Jackson (488 yards, 3 TD) and Dimitri Nance (48 yards) shared the load in Minnesota and will most likely do so again in the Georgia Dome.
Falcons safety William Moore (36 tackles, 4 INT) had the lone pick of the game last Sunday and snapped Rams quarterback Sam Bradford's NFL rookie record streak of 169 consecutive pass attempts without an INT. Moore's interception gave the Falcons 15 on the season, which ranks second behind Philadelphia. The defense, however, failed to get a sack against the Rams and will be in for a long night if Rodgers gets the kind of protection he did in Minnesota. Atlanta shouldn't have to worry about the ground attack since the Packers' offense is mainly predicated on the right arm of Rodgers and the hands of Jennings. Atlanta is 24th in pass defense this season, allowing 244.1 yards per game, and has average cornerbacks in Brent Grimes (53 tackles, 3 INT) and Dunta Robinson (32 tackles). Grimes had a team-high three passes defensed on Sunday. Besides trying to lock down Jennings, the Falcons must be wary of James Jones, who has scored in back-to-back contests. They allowed the Rams to convert just one of 10 third-down attempts and held them to 71 yards rushing. Atlanta defensive end and sack master John Abraham (21 tackles, 8 sacks) was inactive against the Rams with a groin injury and is questionable versus Green Bay. Jamaal Anderson (13 tackles, sack) replaced Abraham and posted one tackle for a defensive line rotation that end Kroy Biermann credits for fresh legs.
Ryan (2,518 yards, 18 TD, 5 INT) will try to wear down Green Bay's defense with methodical drives and some no-huddle plays on Sunday, something that worked in Atlanta's favor on Sunday. Ryan was the mastermind behind a 14-play drive in the fourth quarter that led to a 26-17 lead. One aspect for Ryan's success was that the offensive line did not allow a sack for the third time this season. Ryan has been sacked just twice in the last four games, giving the young signal caller enough time to post a passer rating of 100 or higher for the fifth time in the 2010 campaign. Atlanta is a perfect 14-0 when Ryan's quarterback rating is 100 points or better and has won eight of its last nine games. Ryan hit eight different receivers in the Gateway City and stud wideout Roddy White hauled in nine passes for 83 yards. White (1,017 yards, 7 TD) also eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the fourth straight year, becoming the first player in team history to record four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He passed former Falcons wide receiver Andre Rison for the third-most receiving yards in franchise history. Rison had 5,633 receiving yards in four seasons, while White owns 5,706 yards. Turner (864 yards, 6 TD) is on pace for the second 1,000-yard season in his career. He ran for 1,699 yards in 2008.
There's only so much a defense can do to stop Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, and the Packers were able to hold him to 72 yards on 14 carries. Green Bay played so well on the defensive side of the ball Minnesota was forced to throw the more often. Atlanta will try to establish the run early to keep pressure off of Ryan against the Packers' 18th-ranked run defense which is allowing 112.1 yards per game. The team committed one penalty on Sunday in a hostile environment and will face similar surroundings down south since the Georgia Dome is known for not welcoming visitors with open arms. Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Capers has his hands full for another week. Capers' 3-4 unit has allowed just 10 points over the last three games to move into a tie for the No. 1 ranking in scoring defense with Chicago. Both teams have given up 146 points through 10 games. The Packers have allowed just four touchdowns in five road games, including none in their last two, and have sack leader Clay Matthews on their side. Matthews (36 tackles, 12 sacks, INT) had the only sack for the defense on Sunday, while DB's Nick Collins (50 tackles, INT) and Woodson (60 tackles, sack, 2 INT) combined for seven stops.
The two quarterbacks alone in this matchup could combine for 60 fantasy points so starting both Ryan and Rodgers is a must for their Week 12 date. Turner, White and tight end Tony Gonzalez should also have a spot reserved for them in most lineups. Ryan even threw TD passes to Brian Finneran and Justin Peelle, showing more proof that he has the offense under control. Kicker Matt Bryant is another option since the Falcons score a lot and find themselves in enemy territory quite regularly.
Rodgers and Jennings are starting to click and have been off the charts the past few weeks. Since the Falcons will try to take Jennings out of the game early and often, it wouldn't hurt to send Jones out there. Green Bay's defense has been one of the best in 2010, but this may not be a good matchup. Packers kicker Mason Crosby is, however.
It's almost December and this is the time of year for teams with playoff aspirations to start hunkering down. Atlanta and Green Bay are both right in the mix for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, but the Falcons have an edge for how well they've played inside the confines of the Georgia Dome. Some Atlanta players, including Ryan, have stated that the team is still in search of a full performance even though its already 8-2 on the season. Continued preparation and attention to detail have been the pillars to the Falcons' success. They need to come out firing on Sunday in order to secure a possible head-to-head tie-breaker with the Packers. Green Bay won't go down easy as it has outscored the opposition, 85-10, the past three contests.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Falcons 27, Packers 23
