text: MadmanDan 5pts The reason Audi are not going to offer the A1 in the US is that hardly anybody here could be bothered to pay a heartbreaking amount of money for a re-badged VW Polo - which is already overpriced to begin with.Then, the Audi looks mean and menacing like a Predator (Exhibit A: http://www.canpages.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/haircut_predator.jpg - Just compare this with the first picture on top of the page). You have to be a 13-year-old physically and/or mentally to find that appealing in a small and supposedly chic urban runabout. What is wrong with a small car to look cute and cuddly like the new Fiat 500 or the iconic Mini (even the new one)?

"The Board of Light & Power is currently in an excellent position due to our forward-thinking board and management back in the mid '70s," said Renee Molyneux, spokeswoman for the municipal utility. "When we began building our Sims Unit III in 1979, one aspect of that project included the installation a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit, or wet scrubber, as original equipment to Unit III. The FGD was added to remove SO2 (sulfur dioxide) from the flue gas."
At that time, the BLP's scrubber unit was the second one installed in Michigan, she added.
The scrubber utilizes a wet lime slurry mixture to remove the SO2 from the flue gas.
"Because of the original installation of the FGD system, the BLP has been meeting or exceeding environmental standards since our unit went live in 1983, while many other utilities are now having to spend significant dollars to install these units," Molyneux said.
Regarding the Grand Haven utility's old Diesel Plant, the BLP has recently installed a catalytic converter on its No. 1 diesel engine, retired engine No. 2, and mothballed No. 5, 6 and 7 in response to current environmental regulations. Molyneux said they occasionally fire up No. 1 for voltage and support of the power grid, and the mothballed engines are limited to 100 hours per year per engine.
No. 1 is already a duel fuel machine that typically runs on natural gas instead of diesel fuel, she said.
"Our board is currently working to develop a long-term strategic plan for the utility, but it is not finalized yet," Molyneux said. "That plan will address how we will transition into a more diversified fuel mix in the future."

This natralia cream helps us from relief of skin irritation, itching and falking. It is Natural Homeopathic Alternative. It is Suitable for use on children. There are no side effects.
I've been using this product for years for skin issue and it's wonderful. Dermarest psoriasis medicated moisturizer is very effective product. it definitely met my expectations. t helps so much to keep my scalp from itching and scaling. I highly recommended this product.
This product works great. I've suffered from eczema my whole life and recently started getting very bad psoriasis on my lower legs. This has been the second day using it and already my skin is starting to clear. I'm sure it will take a few more days, but I'm amazed. It is the first product that has given me hope.
My daughter, 12 years old, injured her hand and arm and instead of healing, the injury went on to produce swollen, hard, scaly skin like you might find with psoriasis or seborrhea dermatitis. Knowing full well that psoriasis runs in my family and can show up after skin trauma, I decided to go ahead and try the Dermarest on my daughter before a more expensive treatment from a doctor. It burned her horribly when we first started using it, because she had a lot of scabs and open wounds from the cracking and peeling skin. Now after only a week's use, twice a day applications, the redness is nearly gone, the swelling is at least halved, and the raw, scaly scabs and cracks are noticeably reduced. She's very close to having the "small, pretty" hands she used to have and wants back. I'd warn anyone about the burning if they have any open spots, but my daughter thinks it's completely worth it to have the problem gone!

Is Mark Richt Getting The Job Done?
So Michigan got their man, but could an SEC school consider parting ways with their long time head coach? Seems hard to fathom – especially a man revered in his community and who has won 74 percent of his games.
Aggies Swinging For The Fence, LSU's Chavis Unsigned
The search for a new defensive coordinator at Texas A&M drags on and the coaching intrigue continues at LSU.
Aggies Search For Defensive Coordinator

Michigan 'All-In' On Harbaugh

It's true, the perfect accessories often have the ability to "make" an outfit, acting as fantastic accoutrements to personalize and punctuate your daily wear. And what could be better than having stylist-approved trimmings to make your ensembles complete? Luckily, with the amazing shoe and handbag of the month club JustFabulous you can access that kind of sartorially savvy all the time-including an even more specialized selection with Who What Wear's monthly Haute List Picks! And trust us, dear readers, after checking out what we've discovered for December, you'll see that this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. Enrollment is free: all you have to do is take a short fashion personality quiz when you first sign up, and JustFab.com's style gurus will handpick a selection of shoes and bags for you to choose from every month. So take a sneak peek at the fun and festive footwear-each snazzy pair is just $39.95-that could easily be yours for the holiday season, and don't forget to watch the accompanying video filled with all sorts of styling tips and tricks just for you!
This peep-toe bootie is a great way to incorporate cutting-edge moto accents into your existing wardrobe. We love the zipper detail and the foldover flap, as well as the inherent sexiness of an exposed toe. While we paired ours with a skater skirt and cozy sweater to tone down the edginess of the bootie, we also recommend trying it out with black skinny jeans and a shearling jacket for a directional, cold-weather look.
Over-the-knee boots are a winter staple and a black suede pair is routinely a sleek and sophisticated choice. We'd use this studded pair to add an element of surprise to a more off-duty ensemble comprised of skinny jeans and an oversized sweater, or wear them à la Rihanna with a silky romper for your next big Girls' Night Out.
Our most timeless shoe of the group, this peep-toe pump is an essential for every closet. Not only can it flawlessly finish off this season's ladylike looks-think full skirts and button-back sweaters-but it looks equally as smashing as the cap to pantsuits and slacks. Additionally, the gray hue is one of the season's most covetable neutrals and acts as a more intriguing choice than your run-of-the-mill black pump.
When it comes to winter wear, layered knits are always in style, particularly this season, which saw this trend on a bevy of fall runways. These Celine boots seamlessly translate this cozy aesthetic into your footwear, making for a must-have slouchy boot. We'd pair it with head-to-toe shades of gray, for a chic, monochromatic look.

Now, Maybe, Finally: A subtle clue you're getting older
You just never know what your children might say, regardless of their age … and how a subtle comment from them allows you to see your own mortality flash before you in unexpected ways. My children are now in their late 20s. I am proud of them. They have strong work ethics and are contributing members to society. They volunteer. They are opinionated. They are funny. They even voted. They live in different parts of the country.
A few months ago, my daughter called me. Please note that I said my daughter called me. I didn't call her. More often than not, I find that I call my children and it may be awhile before they call me back. They text, email, or on occasion, send a Facebook message, often preceded by an actual phone call. On the subject of texting, I recall an ongoing ritual with my daughter when she was growing up. We would be in the same home, on the same floor, in different rooms. She would not speak to me face to face, yet very fluid instant messages traveled from the den to my home office.
Back to the call from my daughter, who said she and her brother had an important message for me. She said, "Mom, you're getting older." I was speechless (unusual for me). Before I uttered a sound, she added, "Mom, you're really getting old this year." (This is the child I raised!) "Mom, you're getting so old, I'm coming to see you this year for your birthday."
To the kids, any birthday at my age with a zero at the end of it meant I was getting old. In the next moment, I realized that my self-sustaining daughter was telling me she was coming to see me and wasn't expecting me to pay for her airfare. She was taking care of this on her own … perhaps not only because she could, but because I was getting older. My eyes filled with tears of joy that my daughter cared enough to call me and wanted to see me and spend time with me. Now, it's not that I felt older after that call (well, maybe just a little), it was simply accepting that I am naturally aging and my children are maturing. (There really is a God!)
One of the greatest gifts a daughter or son can offer is their time. I like presents, too, but their presence is the best. Their presents are often unconventional, like the coffee mug that reads: "Felise told me not to buy you a mug. Since when would I listen to her? We love you mom. Happy Mother's Day. — Ian and Felise.
Both of them may actually come see me the same weekend. It's been awhile since we've all been together to laugh, play, talk and try to teach me poker. We will go clothes shopping for them. We'll go to one of their favorite restaurants on Fifth Avenue. We'll watch at least one sunset if the weather cooperates, maybe sit by the pool, take my dog for a walk, and work out. Who knows what else? The best part is we will be together.
One of my friends who is aging gracefully is always quick to say: "My age is just a number and my number is unlisted."
Today's Lindaism: Regardless of age, we have the ability to continue to learn and teach our learned lessons. Now, Maybe, Finally, we can all accept that those younger than us have lessons to teach us too.

In an effort to keep new PSP content on retail shelves, Sony has started releasing vouchers for downloadable PSP games. So far these vouchers are only for select North American retailers. So far, Sony has only released vouchers for 10 games published by them like God of War Chains of Olympus and Gran Turismo. No word on when vouchers for third party games night appear. Sony is likely doing this to allay the fears of retailers that they will only be able to sell the PSPGo itself, losing them software sales. When Patapon 2 released in North America in May exclusively as a digital download, a voucher was released to retailers. All of the recently released vouchers are for games that have disc versions. Currently, Sony has no plans to release these vouchers in Europe. Europe will only get money cards for £20 and £50. These basically serve the same purpose as the $20 and $50 Playstation Store cards already available in North America. Read More

Tagged: Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
We all have hundreds of DNA flaws waiting to do us in! Or not.
The price of silent mutations
Everyone has on average 400 flaws in their DNA, a UK study suggests…Most are "silent" mutations and do not affect health, although they can cause problems when passed to future generations…Others are linked to conditions such as cancer or heart disease, which appear in later life, say geneticists.
The evidence comes from the 1,000 Genomes project, which is mapping normal human genetic differences, from tiny changes in DNA to major mutations.
In the study, 1,000 seemingly healthy people from Europe, the Americas and East Asia had their entire genetic sequences decoded, to look at what makes people different from each other, and to help in the search for genetic links to diseases.
The new research, published in The American Journal of Human Genetics, compared the genomes of 179 participants, who were healthy at the time their DNA was sampled, with a database of human mutations developed at Cardiff University.
It revealed that a normal healthy person has on average about 400 potentially damaging DNA variations, and two DNA changes known to be associated with disease.
"Ordinary people carry disease-causing mutations without them having any obvious effect," said Dr Chris Tyler-Smith, a lead researcher on the study from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge.
He added: "In a population there will be variants that have consequences for their own health."
The research gives an insight into the "flaws that make us all different, sometimes with different expertise and different abilities, but also different predispositions in diseases," said Prof David Cooper of Cardiff University, the other lead researcher of the study.
"Not all human genomes have perfect sequences," he added. "The human genome is packed with pervasive, architectural flaws."
It has been known for decades that all people carry some genetic mutations that appear to cause little or no harm. Many are only damaging if they are passed on to children who inherit another copy of the faulty gene from the other parent.
In others – around one in ten of those studied – the mutation causes only a mild condition, appears to be inactive, or does not manifest itself until later life.
Databases of human mutations, like the one at Cardiff University, will have increasing importance in the future, as we move into the era of personalised medicine…But as DNA sequencing becomes more widespread, ethical dilemmas will arise about what to tell people about their genes, especially when many risks are uncertain.
We all understand the range of dead ends available for time-wasting by ethicists. Especially those with one or another superstition to justify. I come down – in advance – on the side of the simplest and most democratic premise: knowledge is always useful. I don't care if someone decides if it's scary or silly – I have the right to know.
Real-time gene sequencing fights outbreak of MRSA superbug
Scientists have used genome sequencing technology to control an outbreak of the superbug MRSA in a study that could point to faster and more efficient treatment of a range of diseases…
MRSA, or Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, is a drug-resistant bacterial infection, or superbug, and major public health problem. When outbreaks occur in hospitals it can lead to the closure of whole wards and lengthy investigations.
The bug kills an estimated 19,000 people in the United States alone each year, and even when the infection is successfully treated it can double the average length of a hospital stay and thereby increase healthcare costs.
A team of scientists…used samples from a 2009 MRSA outbreak in a hospital neo-natal intensive care ward to recreate and respond to it, as if in real time. They found that genome sequencing produced results in roughly 24 hours, using the latest technology from Illumina, gave much more detailed information.
The researchers were able to identify the particular strain of MRSA causing the outbreak, and which strains were not, quickly enough to feed back into treatment and nip the outbreak in the bud faster than current clinical testing methods.
"I think we are at the very beginning of an explosion of evidence to support the use of whole genome sequencing in public health," Sharon Peacock of Cambridge University, who led the study, told Reuters.
The research…comes hot on the heels of similar work done on MRSA and Clostridium difficile by a team from Oxford University with Illumina and a group of hospitals in Britain…Oxford microbiologist Derrick Crook, who worked on that project, said that as recently as two years ago "it would have taken months and thousands of pounds to process such informative sequence information on hospital infections…"
The researchers say this kind of fast genome sequencing could eventually form the basis for a regional or national infection surveillance program designed to head off MRSA outbreaks before they happen. It could also be used for outbreaks of food-borne infections like salmonella or E.coli…
Peacock says the next stage is to develop software that interprets the data in a way doctors can both understand and use in a hospital…She also points out that while the study indicates this kind of sequencing is cheaper than existing, less detailed, tests, there will also need to be rigorous cost-benefit analysis.
Still – the results demonstrate how technology, advanced methods, combinations of the latest proven means can eliminate days and dollars from the process of investigation and treatment of previously daunting illness.
MRSA is one of the worst. A family of death and destruction worthy of being weaponized in the minds of our planet' worst politicians. It is a deadly foe and we appear to have moved forward to a better place in the arsenal of healthcare – courtesy of progressive technology.

BRTC Aqua Rush Fluid Review
Make Up For Ever HD Elixir is really my go to product for getting my skin in tip top shape for foundation. At $38 for a tiny bottle it can get expensive to keep it around which is why I'm so delighted I discovered BRTC Aqua Rush Fluid.
Jump for it!
BRTC is a Korean Brand well known for their BB Creams however they do offer skincare options as well and the new Aqua Rush line is pretty fabulous. I got a HUGE bottle of BRTC Aqua Rush Fluid as a gift with purchase when a friend hauled me some BRTC BB Creams. I believe it retails for around $24 in Korea which is a great deal as the bottle is quite large. I've also have had the pleasure of seeing it up and around the Internet for sale at a similar price.
Aqua Rush Fluid is a watery formula that aids in providing moisture to dry skin. It contains deep sea mineral water which cares for rough skin and helps to control balance of oil and moisture. My experience with it has been quite good. I wouldn't say it provides enough moisture for dry skin but it does prep skin very well and it somehow has balanced out my skin so it isn't oily nor is it dry, it just seems to be a normal stand point at the moment.
It does have some similar ingredients as MUFE Elixir one in particular is hyaluronic which is supposed to hold water in the skin according to Make Up For Ever. Granted it's not a complete dupe for MUFE but it does pretty much perform just as well. I wouldn't use it as a sole way to moisture my face but it does a good job prepping my skin for foundation. It moistens my face, absorbs nicely, and gets rid of flakes and such on my skin to create a more even texture.
I imagine BRTC didn't create it as a way to prime but I find it's the perfect solution for just that. Overall, it's ability to create a good working canvas for foundation and the way it makes my skin behave it self (no oily forehead, no dry cheeks, etc…) makes it worth it's weight in gold. I'd much rather splash out $30 or so for this large size than $38 for a tiny bottle of MUFE. They aren't complete dupes mind you but Aqua Rush Fluid does do the job and does it right.
Likey alot.
If you're lemming it I suggest checking Sasa as they carry some BRTC items including some of the Aqua range or E-bay where I've seen bottles for $30 dollars or so with free shipping.
Loves it! Worthy of a haul and Muse Approved for purchase.
Disclosure: The following item was purchased by me for review purposes (and because I like flinging my money at makeup products of any kind) on Musings of a Muse. For further information please see my FTC Guidelines or my Disclosure/Disclaimer posts.

its too bad they only sell this in asia
i would LOVE to try this and all the other awsome stuff!
btw, i just noticed.. why is it that the box says "Fluide' while the bottle says "Fluid" haha
1/14/10 15:41 suz:
thanks for the review…I want to get this now…I've been viewing it but didn't get it since i hadn't read a review…so now it's a good time to get. BRTC rocks my sox!
4/19/10 9:20 Michelle:
Is this frangrance free? 😀
4/19/10 10:32 Michelle:
Will it be suitable for sensitive skin?
My skin is quite sensitive to frangrance.
Thank you!
7/2/10 0:16 Renee:
Great review! I really want to try this product as I get fairly dry patches in the winter.. would you say it'd be appropriate for someone with combination skin? It seems to be of a gel-like consistency… Thanks!
3/18/12 15:40 pearlessence:
Have you tried the BRTC's Aqua Rush Water Drop BB Cream? It looks nice, but doesn't seem to boast anything other than moisturizing…
4/8/13 19:12 Coco:
Have you tried the Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion? I works wonders as a pre-foundation/BB prep product too because it has a good slip and supple texture.

Flood Recovery, Innovation and Response
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreFlooding is a global phenomenon that each year claims around 25,000 lives worldwide. Additionally, many more people must endure the homelessness, disease and crop failures that are left in the wake of the floods. The increased frequency of flooding in the last ten years, coupled with climate change predictions and urban development, suggest that these statistics are set to worsen in future. Apart from the physical damage to buildings, contents and loss of life, which are the most obvious impacts of floods upon households, other more indirect losses, are often overlooked. These intangible impacts are generally associated with disruption to normal life as well as longer-term health issues including stress-related illness. This volume contains the scientific papers presented at the inaugural International Conference on Flood Recovery Innovation and Response, held at the headquarters of the Institution of Civil Engineers in London, UK, July 2-3, 2008. The conference aims to bring together engineers, scientists and other professionals from all countries, involved in research and development activities in a wide range of technical and management topics related to flooding and its devastating effects. The scientific topics presented the conference included: Flood Risk Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment; Flood Risk Management; Flood Defence Methods; Rehabilitation and Restoration; Urban Flood Management - Innovation in Building Resilience; Coping Strategies; Financial and Insuring Issues. less

After a 20 year break, Pink Floyd has announced that fans can expect a new album. The Endless River is expected later this year.
According to the band's official website, the album features music based on the Division Bell sessions that were recorded in 1993 and 1994. Spokesman Doug Wright said that the new album will be released in October.
The group also confirmed the news on Twitter.
A heavily instrumental album, The Endless River is to be produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Band members Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright - who died in 2008 - will be on the album though Roger Waters is not involved in the latest effort, according to the Associated Press.
Pink Floyd made their name with albums like The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. They also performed at the 2005 Live 8 charity concert.
News of the impending release were leaked by Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson.
Pink Floyd confirm they are releasing new album The Endless River in October 2014 based on Division Bell sessions. http://t.co/g9g78Z7kov

In response to m. a. pat's comment:
In response to rkarp's comment:
I am not on board with the JG heir to the QB throne. Let's pump the brakes a bit. The Pats drafted a QB in the 2nd round whom they have hopes can develop into a good back up QB in 2 years. Perhaps, in 3-4 years, he has a chance to compete as the starter if TB steps away.
I really don't see JG playing a single snap this year. Assuming next year Mallett is no longer here, I would also assume JG gets some reps in preseason. Will BB play JG at all in year 2? Did he play Hoyer in year 2? Did he play Mallett in year 2?
I simply see this team in 2016 still having the talent and coaching staff to compete for a championship, and today cannot anoint JG as the QB of that team because he was drafted in the 2nd round.
Are you thinking Garappolo gets no preseason snaps this year or am I reading this wrong?
No, my comment was in reference to regular season. However, in preseason, game 1, I believe Brady plays the obligatory first series, Mallet goes the balance of the first, second and third quarters, and JG sees the fourth quarter. After that first preseason game appearance, we don't see JG again until preseason 2015

Man suspected of three DUIs faces three separate trials
Published January 16, 2013 10:33 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Logan • Cache County prosecutors plan to hold three trials for a man accused of driving under the influence three times in three days.
The Herald Journal reports that prosecutors are using the unusual strategy in a bid to obtain a felony conviction against 41-year-old Daniel Kropf.
Utah law makes a driver's third DUI a felony but only after the driver's been convicted twice before.
County Attorney James Swink informed a judge Monday he intends to seek separate DUI convictions one-by-one.
Authorities first booked Kropf into jail July 8. He bailed out the next day and was picked up again. Police say he was behind the wheel of a black Escalade when he was arrested for DUI a third time July 10.

Pot Shops Set to Open This Week in Wash.
Written by Joe Simons on July 7, 2014
Vancouver, WA. — Some retail pot shops could open as soon as tomorrow in Washington. Vancouver has two locations aiming for a Wednesday opening.
And Vancouver Police want to make sure that you know what's illegal.
"Consuming marijuana in public places is against the law. That would be a park, your car, side walk. It is for private residence consumption only. That would even include opening a package of marijuana or a marijuana infused product."
Kim Kapp with Vancouver Police Department says they've been in contact with the two shops opening and that parking is a concern.
"We certainly don't want people lining up and blocking peoples driveways if they are in a retail location that has limited parking. They have to still be parking legally. Not blocking intersections, letting pedestrians have right of way and get through on the sidewalk."
A fact sheet is available on the Vancouver Police website.

You probably wouldn't call British painter-filmmaker Derek Jarman a mainstream figure, especially if you watched Wittgenstein, his stark 1993 film on the eponymous philosopher, when we posted it last year. But in 1986, when he took on the life and work of Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi o Amerighi da Caravaggio, he produced what the Guardian's Andrew Pulver calls his "most ambitious attempt at cracking the mainstream market: while his special cocktail of performance art, gay erotica, and technical experimentation was perhaps never destined for a mass audience, the film is arguably his most accessible and substantial achievement." And indeed, it takes a relatively traditional form, at least by Jarman's standard: the dying Caravaggio, played by Nigel Terry, remembers chapters of his life, from his early artistic development, to his years under the wing of a Cardinal, to the time he had to appeal to the Pope to free a male lover from the charge of murdering a female one.
You may have guessed that even if Caravaggio adheres to a structure less daring than those Jarman usually built, it remains plenty daring in terms of content. Jarman depicts the painter as familiar with the high art world and the social underworld alike, recruiting undesirable types straight off the street as models for his religious canvasses. Though Caravaggio doesn't come off as an out-and-out hedonist, the film does imply that the well-worn joke about "trisexuality" applies to him — i.e., that he'll "try" anything. As in Wittgenstein, Jarman casts Tilda Swinton, here in her very first film role as one the vertices of Caravaggio's troubled love triangle. As the other, we have Sean Bean, well before he, too, rose to the heights of movie stardom. Look beyond the players, and you'll also notice touches that echo Caravaggio's own tendencies toward visual anachronism, including cigarettes, automobiles, and even a typewriter. For these and other reasons, we may not remember Caravaggio as an actual mainstream movie, but we do remember Jarman as a filmmaker simply unable not to make interesting choices.

HP Issues Statement Regarding Open Letter from Mike Lynch
PALO ALTO, Calif. -- HP today issued the following statement in response to Mike Lynch's open letter to the HP board:
HP has initiated an intense internal investigation into a series of accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations that occurred prior to HP's acquisition of Autonomy. We believe we have uncovered extensive evidence of a willful effort on behalf of certain former Autonomy employees to inflate the underlying financial metrics of the company in order to mislead investors and potential buyers.
The matter is in the hands of the authorities, including the UK Serious Fraud Office, the US Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement Division and the US Department of Justice, and we will defer to them as to how they wish to engage with Dr. Lynch. In addition, HP will take legal action against the parties involved at the appropriate time.
While Dr. Lynch is eager for a debate, we believe the legal process is the correct method in which to bring out the facts and take action on behalf of our shareholders. In that setting, we look forward to hearing Dr. Lynch and other former Autonomy employees answer questions under penalty of perjury.

Scouting Report: Falcons pound on ground, stay simple in passing game
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
With another loss against Oakland the Vikings dropped to 2-8 record. That puts them in line for a top-three draft pick come April and a shot at some legitimate marquee talent. Can they take one step closer against Atlanta this week, or will the will to restore some pride by earning a victory instead? Sam Monson of ProFootballFocus.com, which breaks down film from every NFL game, takes an inside look at the Falcons:
Atlanta's offense hasn't changed too much from the system left by Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave when he departed in the offseason. The Falcons have added some weapons to the roster, but the offense looks similar and should be recognizable by Vikings fans -- even representing something they can potentially look forward to down the line.
Atlanta likes to pull linemen, especially guards, and will use them to kick out defenders and create running lanes for powerful HB Michael Turner (5-foot-10, 237 pounds). In the passing game, the Falcons like to keep it simple, exploiting the matchup advantages TE Tony Gonzalez (6-4, 251) can offer them and otherwise relying on the ability of their receivers to win against coverage using a pretty simple route tree.
On defense, the Falcons are a pretty straightforward proposition also, running a conventional 4-3 defense. They will zone blitz at times, dropping a defensive end into coverage and looking to overload on the opposite side of the formation, but that is usually as exotic as the Falcons get. They run a lot of Cover-2 and quarters coverage on the back end but will bring a safety up into the box if they feel they need to in order to stop the run.
Notable players
Atlanta brought in former Vikings DE Ray Edwards (6-5, 273) to take some heat off DE John Abraham (6-4, 256) as the main pass-rushing threat. Edwards has been merely average as a rush force but has played the run typically well. Abraham remains their primary pass-rushing presence and needs to be accounted for, especially as he fits the mould of a quick, speedy pass rusher who, when he gets pressure, tends to do so quickly. Abraham may only have four sacks on the season, but he has another seven knockdowns and 18 further pressures. He has yet to be shut out in terms of pressure this season in any game.
In his rookie year, OLB Sean Weatherspoon (6-1, 239) looked like he may have been more hype than substance, often overrunning on his assignments, looking lost in coverage and generally proving to be something of a liability. This season, though, the light has gone on and he has become arguably the Falcons' best linebacker. Though he trails MLB Curtis Lofton (6-0, 238) in tackles, Weatherspoon actually leads the team in defensive stops (a tackle that constitutes an offensive failure, for example short of the first down on third or fourth down) and has been far more assured in coverage than he was as a rookie. He has also generated efficient pressure when he has been used to blitz, earning a pair of sacks and nine more combined hits and pressures.
He may be their best-paid defensive back, but CB Dunta Robinson (5-11, 174) is not even close to their best. That's CB Brent Grimes (5-10, 180). Robinson in truth has never come close to recapturing his early-career form before major knee injuries derailed him, and he is playing at a level that not only falls some way short of his pay grade, but actually represents an issue for the Falcons. He is allowing 62% of passes into his coverage to be completed and QBs throwing at him this season have a rating of 106.5. With Grimes performing so much better, the Vikings would be wise to throw at Robinson as much as they can.
Strengths and weaknesses
Atlanta's offensive line is not a poor unit, but it does have two weak links that can and should be targeted. LT Sam Baker (6-5, 312) had been a disaster all season, and with him sidelined by a back injury, Will Svitek (6-7, 300) takes his place. Svitek has in truth already outperformed Baker, but facing Vikings RE Jared Allen represents a far sterner test. Svitek's weakness is in pass protection, an area in which Allen should be able to have some joy.
The Falcons' other problem area is at right guard, where they have been unable to adequately replace their free agent loss of Harvey Dahl. Garrett Reynolds (6-8, 309) was bad enough to get benched a couple of games ago and the job is now that of Joe Hawley (6-3, 297), a fourth-round draft pick in 2010. Hawley hasn't been too bad at right guard, despite having struggled at center earlier in the season. But he represents a notable weak link in the chain Vikings UT Kevin Williams in particular should be able to overwhelm.
The Falcons are still weak in the secondary, even if they have improved in that area, and tried to improve yet further. Some of their imports have failed to produce as they expected them to and they can still be attacked there, especially if you can avoid picking on Grimes. None of their safeties are playing particularly well, and when they are forced into nickel defense, they don't have anybody who has shown able to man the slot position. If the Vikings can threaten to air the ball out and then throw the ball wherever Grimes is not, they can produce against this secondary.
By rights the wide receiver corps for the Falcons should be an unquestioned strength, but it doesn't look it heading into this game. Top draft pick Julio Jones (6-3, 220) is still questionable and the early speculation is he will not play. His injury is a hamstring, so even if he does he may not be at full speed. Roddy White (6-1, 208), supposed to flourish with the addition of Jones, has been having a poor season, and currently leads all wide receivers in dropped passes with ten in ten games. Harry Douglas (5-11, 176) has the ability to be an effective slot weapon but has been wildly inconsistent this season. The Vikings are playing this group at the right time, struggling as they are with their own issues in the secondary.
Bottom line
The Falcons remain a flawed team, with holes in the roster they have yet to patch. Those holes exposed them last season and prevented them from going all the way once they hit the postseason, and they may well derail their campaign this year, too -- but the Vikings may not be good enough to do it. The Vikings can match up in a few key areas, but Atlanta often plays slightly better than the sum of its parts, and in the end, QB Matt Ryan is a far more likely victor than QB Christian Ponder.

On April 8, President Obama signed two executive actions designed to strengthen equal pay laws and narrow pay disparities based on gender or race. The executive order and presidential memorandum marked National Equal Pay Day—the day that highlights the extra time the average American woman would need to work to earn as much as her average male counterpart did in the previous year.
The President's executive order prohibits federal contractors from firing, demoting, or otherwise retaliating against employees who choose to discuss their compensation. The order does not require employees to discuss their pay and does not require employers to publish pay data. Rather, it encourages transparency in hopes that in discussing their pay, employees may discover potential violations of equal pay laws and seek remedial measures. Currently, most private sector employees have the right to discuss their pay under the National Labor Relations Act.
The presidential memorandum instructs Secretary of Labor Tom Perez to establish new regulations mandating federal contractors to submit to the Department of Labor summary data on compensation paid to their employees. The memorandum calls for the data produced to include a breakdown by sex and race. The Department of Labor intends to use the data to encourage voluntary compliance with equal pay laws and to implement more targeted enforcement in areas where there are discrepancies.
The President's actions follow his announcement in February that he will require federal contractors to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10 per hour on new contracts beginning next year.
Although both executive orders apply only to employers contracting with the federal government, the directives will have a wide impact. Federal contracting extends to nearly one-quarter of the U.S. workforce. Also, such actions may lead to action in the broader economy, which is notable given that the U.S. Senate is poised to consider the Paycheck Fairness Act this week. If passed, this measure would impose new regulations designed to ensure that women are paid equal to their male counterparts. During remarks coinciding with his signing the executive actions, President Obama pressed Republican lawmakers to support the Paycheck Fairness Act, which has twice failed to pass.

Apple unveils Apple Pay, its long-awaited entrance into mobile payments
The iPhone and iPod maker finally made the leap into the mobile payments space with the launch of Apple Pay, an NFC-based contactless payment system.
The iPhone and iPod maker finally made the leap into the mobile payments space with the launch of Apple Pay, an NFC-based contactless payment system.
If Apple has priced the iPod touch, starting at $299, then how does this affect how the technology giant would price the much-anticipated (but as yet totally mythical) iPad mini 7-inch tablet?
I talked a bit about the FLO TV service and new device on The Mobile Gadgeteer, but with today's CES 2010 announcement FLO TV is branching into the smartphone space. They announced a partnership with the folks who make the iPhone Mophie Juicepack batteries to launch a sleeve that fits on your iPhone or iPod touch to give you a wireless FLO TV experience. FLO TV is television sent out over the airwaves and does not use your wireless data for streaming television content. These products will start shipping during the first half of this year.
There is a load of digital music players on the market (see my Holiday Guide) that offer consumers quite a bit of choice. However, there is not much competition in the way of touch screen players like the iPod touch. Rumors are flying this weekend that Sony will announce a new Walkman-branded portable media player. With the wild speculation that Palm will actually announce something more than another color Centro and this Sony news CES may actually have some good value for those in the mobile space this year.
I've talked about the Truphone VoIP solution here on this blog a couple of times in the past and have had it on my iPhone for several months. Now that my ZDNet Smartphones & Cell Phones blog focuses on phones you may be asking why I am posting about a phone solution here on the Mobile Gadgeteer. A new Truphone client was just released for the Apple iPod touch that turns it into a VoIP phone, but it is not a cellphone. Highly respected VoIP blogger and friend Andy Abramson has an excellent blog post on why TruPhone on the iPod touch is a game changer in the VoIP space.

From Pluto to the Isle of Wight, why Thai shortfalls delight style-conscious hacks, and the fridge that eats inboxes - five days that didn't shake the world but mildly discomforted the ZDNet offices
Like the original 5GB iPod, price notwithstanding, this is the finest MP3 player that we've ever reviewed. However, we still wish that Apple would offer native Windows support.
