Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
NFL Betting
Denver Broncos / Chargers Over 57
The Broncos are the #1 team in the NFL offensively averaging 466 yards per game and 42.9 ppg. San Diego is averaging 403 yards per game (6th in NFL) and averaging 24 ppg. Defensively the Broncos are 24th in the NFL, and they are giving up 27.2 papg. The Chargers are 29th in the NFL and are giving up 21.8 papg. The Chargers also rank dead last (32nd) giving up 6.4 yards per play, which is not a good sign going against a Peyton Manning run offense. Both QBs have had great seasons and should be able to put up points against the 28th (San Diego) and 30th (Denver) ranked pass defenses. Road games haven't bothered Peyton and his no huddle offense, as the Broncos have put up 41, 51, and 33 points on the road. The OVER is a perfect 8-0 for Denver this year and 46-17-1 in their last 64 games overall. The OVER is also 34-16-1 in the Broncos last 51 vs AFC opponents. The OVER is 5-1 in the Chargers last 6 games following a loss, and 5-1 in their last 6 vs divisional opponents. The OVER is also 4-1 in these two teams last 5 meetings. I'll take the OVER again here with the Broncos as two good offenses go head to head

Falcons +3.5
Atlanta has struggled this year due to injury, but most will overlook today that the Seahawks usually always struggle on the road, their best receiver is out for the year and they will be missing a few guys on their offensive line which includes their starting center. This is a tough stadium to win in and I think Atlanta will establish the run today which will allow Matt Ryan to find guys wide open. Take the Falcons.

New York Giants -7
The New York Giants have won their last two games coming into this week's matchup with the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders were torched by the Eagles last week, losing 49-20 with one of the most embarrassing defensive performances of the season. The Giants are coming off a bye week, but prior to that bye they held the Eagles to just seven points.
Oakland's offense has struggled on the road this season, averaging just 15 points per game. The defense has been even worse, allowing opponents to score an average of 27.3 points per game. The once turnover prone Giants seem to have those problems taken care of, averaging just one turnover in each of their past two games. The Raiders on the other hand seem to have taken over that role, turning the ball over a combined eight times in their last three games. The Giant's should have no problem winning this game at home, and I expect the margin to be double-digits.

Texans vs. Cardinals
Play: Under 42
The Houston Texans has been great statistically this year. As long as the offense takes care of the football a little better, this Texans defense is fully capable of shutting out the opponent. They are first in the NFL in pass defense, and the Arizona Cardinals have very little running game. Arizona's defense is solid, and they are better on their home field. Look for both quarterbacks to be under pressure all game from the strong pass rushes. Take the under.

Dave Price
LA Lakers +4
The Timberwolves are off to a nice 4-2 start but have played only two road games. Also, while they have beaten some teams that were pretty formidable last season (OKC & NY), we can't ignore that the Thunder were without Russell Westbrook and the Knicks were without J.R. Smith. Those two players were a big part of their teams' success. The Lakers are 3-4 out of the gate but have played four games on the road. Still, they have quality wins over the Clippers and Rockets, two teams expected to contend for the Western Conference championship, so they have proven they have the ability to beat anyone. The Lakers did not perform well at New Orleans their last time out so I'm expecting a bounce-back performance here against a team they have owned. LA has won 22 straight against Minnesota while averaging 107.8 points. Also, you want to take home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that won 45-55% of their games last season. That's because doing so has produced a 40-13 ATS result since 1996. Take the points.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Jack Jones
Oakland Raiders +7.5
The Giants are certainly getting a lot of respect from oddsmakers this week. That's hard to believe for a 2-6 team that has been blown out by 15 or more points in four of their six losses. This line is certainly be an overreaction to the two wins that the Giants have picked up in their last two games. A closer look at those two games shows that they were far less impressive than they appear.
New York's win over Minnesota was simply given to them. The Vikings were starting quarterback Josh Freeman for the first time on ESPN's Monday Night Football, and the stage was clearly too big for him. He was absolutely terrible, time after time overthrowing wide open receivers. The Giants only managed 257 total yards in that game.
Then, against Philadelphia, Michael Vick started the game and got hurt. The Eagles have clearly been much better with Nick Foles under center, and they have lost 10 straight home games, so it's not like that was a very good win for the Giants. They'll get a much stiffer test from the Oakland Raiders this week.
When you look at the numbers, it appears this is a very evenly-matched game. Oakland has a slight edge on offense, ranking 14th in the league at 345.5 yards per game, while the Giants are 22nd at 327.7 yards per game. New York has a slight edge on the other side of the ball, ranking 14th in total defense at 344.5 yards per game, while the Raiders are 18th at 356.7 yards per game. Yet, oddsmakers are suggesting that the Giants are at least four points better than Oakland on a neutral field with this 7.5-point spread. I'm not buying it.
The Raiders are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games following a S.U. loss. Better yet, they are a perfect 5-0 against the number in their last five games following an ATS loss. The Giants are 18-40-2 against the spread in their last 60 November games, including 1-8 against the number in their last nine games in Week 10. They have a tendency to fall off in the second half of the year. This team still has a done of flaws, and they haven't magically turned it around despite winning their last two games. Bet the Raiders Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons
Play: Seattle Seahawks -3½
Seattle has escaped the last 2 weeks in wins over Tampa and St. Louis despite some lethargic play. This will not be the case here today as they can bury the Falcons and avenge last years playoff loss, a 30-28 loss here vs an Atlanta team that is a shell of what it was last season. Were Sure Pro Bowls Tight end Tony Gonzalez is thrilled he came back to chase the Super bowl one last time. Ok now on to the indicators. Atlanta is 1-20 straight up and 4-17 to the spread as a home dog from + 3.5 to +7 and 2-9 ats vs winning teams. Even worse is their 0-15 spread ledger at +3.5 or more off back to back road games. For the system we want to play against home dogs that were beat by the spread by 41+ points in their last 5 game as these teams have failed to cover 35 of 45 times With Seattle having revenge we will back them here today.

San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks
Pick: San Antonio Spurs
The NY Knicks finally got a win this season with a road victory over Charlotte, 101-91. The Knicks are now just 1-4 SU this season. The good news is that the Knicks get J.R. Smith back. Smith, last year's NBA sixth-man, has missed the club's first five games this season. Smith won't play the entire contest, but should get close to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the Spurs have won five of their first six games. And, they have done this with a struggling Manu Ginobili. Ginobili has hit on just eight of 31 from the field so far this season. I expect this NY club to be pretty good this season, just not this early. The Spurs are the much better club at this early mark of the season and I'm sticking with them here on Sunday morning.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans
Pick: Tennessee Titans
Any takers for Jacksonville? Maybe a few Navy SEALs are brave enough to accept the dare, but Jags an even harder sell now that key WR Justin Blackmon suspended again, and our cover story highlights the depths to which winless Jax has plunged, including loss margin of whopping 21 ppg! Unlikely Jags catch Tennessee flat, especially as Mike Munchak reminds his troops that they were the last team to lose SU vs. Jax. Titans can get above .500 with win, and return to active duty of Shonn Greene gives Jake Locker a dynamite 1-2 RB punch (CJ2K also 150 YR last week vs. Rams).
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Andy Iskoe
NY Giants -7
After playing better than expected early this season Oakland may have been exposed last week, especially on defense. QB Pryor and RB McFadden were banged up with Pryor more likely to play this week. The Giants were 0-6 but did win their last two games prior to their Bye. At 2-6 they still have life in the weak NFC East and have been known to be a strong second half of the season team when they've struggled early. The Raiders have had major problems when traveling to the east coast with multiple double digit losses just in the past two seasons. The Giants are the more talented team with an edge at QB. After allowing at least 27 points in each of its first 6 games the Giants held their last two foes, Minnesota and Philadelphia, to just 7 points each, signaling the start of improved play by the defense. The season to date stats are yet to reflect the reversal of fortunes of both teams so Oakland might appear attractive based on the pure stats. But the situation, current form and historical tendencies all favor the hosts to gain a solid victory.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Jacksonville +13 over TENNESSEE
Man, is it tough to pull the trigger on the Jaguars. Jacksonville has not even been remotely competitive. It is always a bad sign when the points allowed are three times bigger than the points for. The Jags have lost by 14 or more points in all but one game and this week in Tennessee, most believe it is Christmas. To make matters worse, even on their bye the Jags lost their best receiver. Justin Blackmon was suspended "indefinitely" but can file for reinstatement next season. That just serves to strip a talent-starved team of their best player and now one really has to wonder how the Jags will score points. That said, we're not here to make a case for the Jags. Our mission remains focused on finding value and as bad as the Jags are, spotting nearly two converted touchdowns with Tennessee in this unfavorable situation is bad strategy.
You can almost be assured that teams under-prepare for the Jaguars. When a team is in the middle of a playoff run, even if the odds are long against them, players take the field knowing that, when the season is over, they're going to need surgery to repair injuries. They play through excruciating pain for the good of the team and as we approach mid-November and the stretch run, the Titans are very likely to ease up in this extremely winnable game. The number is always inflated against the Jags because nobody wants to bet on them. Moreover, the Titans have a huge game up next week in a showdown with the first place Colts. That game against Indy is on Thursday night and it is highly, highly unlikely that the Titans will have much focus on this game. The Titans focus will be on staying healthy and getting this week over and done with as quickly as possible. The Titans lethargic passing leaves this unit with marginal value each week and absolutely no value as a big favorite in a bad situational spot.
INDIANAPOLIS -8 over St. Louis
No question Indianapolis was fortunate to win that game last week in Houston. At one point it didn't seem possible, as they were flat as can be after defeating the Broncos in their previous game before heading to their bye week. Yet somehow the Colts won and covered and anyone that wagered on them last week has to feel like they received a gift. We don't see another flat performance here. The second half of the season is upon us and this is typically when good teams whack bad teams when said good team is at home. The Colts are 6-2 and will play its easiest opponent of the season. The Colts have already defeated San Fran, Denver and Seattle and should have no trouble whatsoever putting away this dumpster fire guest early.
The Rams have dropped three in a row to Tennessee, Seattle and Carolina with the former two played in St. Louis. On the road in Carolina, the Rams lost by 15 and that was with Sam Bradford at QB. Kellen Clemens is two games into his role as the starting quarterback and has just one touchdown and three turnovers to show for it. And those were both home games. Clemens now gets his first road game of his NFL career and it's doesn't figure to end well. Clemens has very little talent around him and unless Zac Stacy goes nuts here, the Rams are likely to be blown away, just like they were in Dallas, in Carolina and at home to the 49ers. When a team gets blown out four times in eight games with a decent starting QB it says all we need to know about them. Now their backup, who isn't good, is about to experience his first blowout and the arrow won't be pointing in his direction.
GREEN BAY +105 over Philadelphia
Things change quickly in the NFL. The 4-5 Eagles remain one game out of first in the NFC East thanks to Nick Foles apparently planting his flag and announcing all of Oakland belongs to him now. Aaron Rodgers goes down, Philly blows out Oakland and the result is that the Eagles are favored at Lambeau? Did we all forget what a train wreck Philly has been all season long? Do we not remember an almost identical scenario in the second week of the season after the Eagles unveiled their new look offense in prime time to open the year? In case you forgot, Philly was a 7½-point choice in Week 2 over the Chargers and lost outright. Philadelphia's four wins occurred against Washington, N.Y. Giants, Tampa and Oakland. None of those teams are going to the playoffs and combined have posted eight wins against 25 losses.
Seneca Wallace came in off the bench and didn't look particularly sharp against the Bears on Monday night. However, he hadn't played in a long time and he was caught totally off guard by having to enter the game cold as ice. Wallace will now have the luxury of taking first team reps all week and being a lot more prepared. The Eagles have one of the weakest secondaries in the NFL and rank dead last against wide receivers. The Eagles are also weak against the run. When a big name player goes down, often the team rallies and rises to the occasion. This is also a huge coaching mismatch, as Philly Chip has not come close to defeating a team above .500 and will now play their fifth road game in the past seven weeks. This line is a gross overreaction to last week's results and the fact that the Eagles are favored in Green Bay is actually bordering on preposterous.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
One team is 8-1, the other is 2-6. The 8-1 team will be hoping to get at least a small measure of revenge for a very narrow loss in last year's playoffs. The 2-6 team is beat up in a big way, and following a nice run as a contender, their roof has caved in this season.
The two teams being referred to are the Seahawks and the Falcons. Seattle is motoring along to a second straight post-season berth and they have a legit chance at being the home team throughout the NFC playoffs. The Falcons are on playoff life support and are coming home off two decisive road losses that basically sealed their fate for the 2013 campaign.
That being the case, it's not too easy to make a compelling case for Atlanta at this juncture. But I'm not of the belief that the Falcons are suddenly going to just start mailing it in because things are going badly. That just doesn't happen very often in the NFL, and I'm not really worried about the possibility here.
Instead, the Falcons might actually be ripe for the taking today. The best time to grab points with a team is occasionally when it looks like the worst time. That's the scenario here with the Falcons off their two most lopsided losses all year. But this team is still .500 at home, and are not that far from being 4-0 at home. In other words, at least at the Georgia Dome, these guys have yet to descend into pushover status.
At the same time, things are not all peaches and cream for the Seahawks despite tat gaudy record. Their offensive line is really struggling and Seattle was really fortunate to escape with wins the last two weeks against the lowly Bucs and Rams. This is not a team that's displaying the form I want to see when considering laying a spot on the road.
I see today's duel as one that could end up going either way. Seattle is unquestionably the better team, but they're in shaky form. Atlanta holds some value off the two no doubt about losses at Carolina and Arizona. I thought the early week line on this game was substantially higher than it ought to be and even at the current price, it's not horrible. Therefore I'll go ahead and take the available points with the Falcons to at least get this to the wire.

Carlos Salazar
Broncos vs Chargers
Play: Over 57.5
Can you say offense. Carlos says this one will be a high scoring affair with lots of big plays. If you can bet the first half over as well. Manning and company will be playing hard for their fallen coach. While San Diego gave up over 500 yards last week to the Redskins. Play the over with confidence.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Bryan Leonard
San Antonio at New York
Play: San Antonio
The Spurs have dominated the Knicks over the years and they come into the Big Apple rested after having yesterday off after another satisfying victory. The only teams the Knicks have beaten this year are Milwaukee and Charlotte, two clubs expected to struggle. With a banged up front court we see Tony Parker doing his magic in the paint and the Spurs winning going away.

Advantage Sports
Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens
Pick: Baltimore Ravens
Take Baltimore to get themselves back in the AFC North race today. Joe Flacco's passer rating is almost 100 at home but less than 65 away. With some major defensive injuries for the Bengals, the Ravens need to beat them today to essentially save the season and not drop further behind Cincy. The biggest game so far this year for Baltimore.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Alex Smith Sports
Oakland Raiders vs New York Giants
Pick: New York Giants
The Oakland Raiders head out east for their first road game in a month to do battle with the NY Giants. Oakland playing a early game in the eastern time zone against a New York squad who has a much needed bye on deck and, shockingly aren't drowning in the NFC playoff race just yet. I like the G-Men to beat Oakland in this spot, covering the TD.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Harry Bondi
Seattle / Atlanta Under 45
Atlanta's offense is a mess. The Falcons have lost two in row and have failed to score more than 13 points since the loss of star wide receiver Julio Jones. Don't expect the ineptitude of this unit to change since Seattle comes in with one of the best defenses in the league, including the fourth best red zone efficiency on defense in the NFL. The Seahawks offense has also been sluggish over the last few weeks and Atlanta is 5-10 to the under in its last 15 games as an underdog. Go under.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Chad Mathews
Broncos / Chargers Over 57.5
The Denver Broncos head into Qualcomm stadium to take on Phillip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers. The Broncos are averaging a league best 42.9 points per game and the Chargers are averaging 24 points per game and have the home field this weekend as well where they are averaging scoring more points than on the road. The Chargers defense will have no way to shut down Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense. Both of these teams love to air out the football with the Broncos leading the NFL with an average of 359 passing yards per game and the Chargers sit at 4th in the league with 300 passing yards per game. Expect both Rivers and Manning to go to the air this weekend and tack on the points. Take the OVER 57.5 points here.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Charlie Scott
Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons
Play: Seattle Seahawks -4
I don't understand the money coming on Atlanta, I was able to get -4 and bet a little. I know the whole thing about a West Coast Fav playing early in the East. However, in my defense Atlanta is a mash unit made up of waiver Free Agents starting this is NOT the Falcon Team we're used to seeing. Seahawks should physically dominate both lines of scrimmage and force Atl QB Ryan into many bad decision.
Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears
Play: Detroit Lions +1
I know the Lions play stupid undisciplined Football ! However the schedule situation sets up nice for the Lions. Lions off major comeback vs Cowboys and then bye week, while the Bears come off beating arch rival Green Bay on Monday night. The Bears are banged up and struggle to defend Pass. If Cutler does as expected and starts, I don't expect him to be sharp facing Lions aggressive front 7 defense.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday, November 10
Philadelphia @ Green Bay
Play: Green Bay +1
The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers on Sunday afternoon. Green Bay will be without starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers but once again the oddsmakers have over adjusted this line. Seneca Wallace was absolutely terrible coming off the bench against Chicago but he has had a week to prepare. Even without Rodgers, this Green Bay team is better than Philadelphia. Green Bay is 19-3 SU and 16-6 ATS last 3 years at home. Philadelphia defense is giving up 25.7 points per game overall this year and 28 points per game on the road this season. Green Bay is scoring 29 points per game overall this year and 27.7 points per game at home this season. The key in this game is that the Eagles defense stinks so even Wallace and the Packers will be able to move the ball. We'll recommend a small play on Green Bay today!

Hi all,
I'm happy to join in such a bright community and would like to introduce myself very briefly.
I am from Turkey and as you could guess I was grown up in a muslim society. I thought I was a muslim but I always had ever-lasting questions in my mind. I was wondering why I find the idea of God strange and not reasonable. In a period of time I was actually trying to be a believer since every single friend of mine was so. I even went to Mosque many times with my friends and fast several years (not eating in Ramadan). To get answers to my questions I was talking to imams after pray. None of them liked my questions and eventually they told my friend not to take me to the Mosque anymore. Well, now I feel thankful to them.
I have always been intrigued in biology both practically and theoretically. When I encountered different stories of "creation of life",I got even bigger questions. Then one day I read Quran at the age of 16. It took just 20 pages to start drawing smiles next to the ridiculous passages (Well, after a while I had to stop it because it was taking more time than reading.)Having read the Quran, I put myself in a race to know all about religion history. Therefore, if you ask "what did make you an atheist ?" I dont sayt "Dawkins" but Quran. The best atheist-maker books are the sacred books,with a little requirement: "Ability to think". Anyway, then I got to know the grim history if Turks made muslim by sword in extremely barbaric ways. Knowing more about muslims and their goals made it so easy to understand religious/political issues all over the World.
When I picked "Selfish Gene" in the same year, as the next book to read about biology, something much more amazing and beautiful started to be clear. Life itself.
Right now I am not living in Turkey (its quite hard to stand ignorance) and working in Europe as a software engineer hoping that one day I switch to my dream job, evolutionary biologist.
Cheers !
As Utah Philipes once said, 'Utah is a great place to excape from.'
Should we add Turkey?
Hey James, you've been missed! Hope all is well.
Thank you.
Welcome to TA
Thank you.
Thank you.
Welcome to TA! I like that your religious text made you an atheist. :)
Thank you.
Welcome, Melih Tiftik. I especially enjoy hearing introductions from former Muslims, as it seems courageous to abandon such a barbaric and misogynistic a religion.
Were you ever in any danger from asking unpopular questions that made you unwelcome in the mosque?
Actually I have never been a former muslim, I was just trying to convince myself that I was. Naturally I was feeling weird not to believe while everyone around me believes.
Well, when I was around 13 years old I was banned from several mosques since I was asking questions that possibly ignite more questions in their minds which is very dangerous for their faith.
When I was leading a community defending secularism, feminism, revolutions ..etc I was threaten several times by Islamist. But nothing bad happened.

i wonder why nobody left a shout for this song. maybe cause their older stuff isn't well-known. these lyrics kick ass, some kind of ironic, but somehow not.

The popularity of Funko's Pop! Vinyls and why I can't stop collecting I haven't seen anything like Funko's Pop! Vinyls before last August.They're only 3.75 inches tall when standing up. They have an oversized, nearly squared head with pupil-free black eyes, a tiny nose and no mouth. They look more so like anime characters than anything else. Over the course of the following six months, what started as a quick impulse purchase had that led into a near obsession of collecting these figures. |

Chapter 14 hogwratd!Chapter 14; SURPRISE AGAN!By the time we got down to the common rooms where everyone got bit by snakes everything was fine.

The girl witht the box of bees loked really grumpy because a snake had bt her and she sat in a pile with all the other students that got bit by snake bites too. All of the bitten people got their medicine and then they all got up to go back to wherever they were before they got bit. Hermionie and I went to where Harry was but he was acting weird for some reason and didn't seem like he wanted to talk to me. I over hesrd some people talking about the snakes:"yeah some student must have accidently conjured them with a spell. No big deal."BUT I KNEW THAT THIS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH VOLDEMORT.Then I saw him acros the rom talking with pomfry about how to take care of snake bites and he turned and saw me and gave me A LOOK and walked away.

Can anyone explain this to me? So, if Western is such a great place full of happy laughing individuals who live in harmony using their welfare state and also want for almost nothing, please explain this to me: Why are persons in Western so much more likely to say that they do not have a high quality of life? Whey are they so much more likely to say that they are not satisfied when using the state of their particular nation or with the personal income? Why are they more likely to say that the following generation will become worse off as compared to they? Gee, it seems to me that they are more unsatisifed compared with us horribly repressed folks over here in the land from the downtrodden masses. I wonder why? Grass is greener mentality... it's why a lot of Americans want to go to. BTW, How would you explain this graph from your article? Europeans are notoriously sourHey, I said it was a welfare state where the citizens want with regard to nothing. Maybe having a welfare system in place to make sure that you won't turn without necessities around the expense of time to have what you want isn't what may make people happy. If you bowl without that gutter bumpers on you will get some gutter footballs, but the score means more.

SportNo 'credible basis' for John Terry defence English Football Association deems Chelsea captain's racism defence 'not credible' but conclude he is not a racist. 05 Oct 2012 14:15 GMT | Sport, Football Terry admitted using the offensive words during a match last year, but claimed he had only been repeating the words he thought Anton Ferdinand had accused him of saying [EPA]The English Football Association have released their report explaining why they rejected Chelsea captain John Terry's defence and found the player guilty of racially insulting Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand last year. The FA published a 63-page document on Friday giving the reasons that led them to impose a four-match ban and $355,600 fine last week for an incident that occurred during a Premier League match at QPR's Loftus Road ground. Terry, who has until October 18 to appeal against the ban and fine, was found not guilty of a racially aggravated offence towards Ferdinand by London magistrates in July. The FA, who held their own inquiry into the incident, ruled they did not believe Terry was a racist, but they rejected his defence and said they had no doubt he racially abused Ferdinand in the game, after being provoked by the QPR player. Full report In the document, the FA said there was "no credible basis" for the Chelsea skipper's defence that he was only repeating words he believed the QPR defender had said to him. Terry admitted using the word "black" surrounded by highly offensive swear words during the match but claimed he had only been repeating words he thought Ferdinand had accused him of saying. In its full written report on the verdict, the FA's independent regulatory commission said it was satisfied the words were intended as an insult by Terry. The document states: "The commission is quite satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that there is no credible basis for Mr Terry's defence that his use of the words 'f****** black c***' were directed at Ferdinand by way of forceful rejection and/or inquiry. "Instead, we are quite satisfied, and find on the balance of probabilities, that the offending words were said by way of insult. "We are able to arrive at that decision without needing to make any adverse findings against Mr Terry arising out of his decision not to give evidence." Commenting on the character references that were provided by his Chelsea team-mates, the FA conclude that "it is accepted by everyone involved in the criminal and disciplinary proceedings that Mr. Terry is not a racist". The FA decided to ban the 31-year-old on the basis that the commission was satisfied the words were intended as an insult.Source: Reuters

NEP recognized in President's FY 2016 budget
Mobile Bay National Estuary Program
February 5th, 2015
President Obama's Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 budget request was released earlier this week and strongly renews support for the National Estuary Program (NEP), directly requesting significant funds for each NEP. The language in the budget is highly complementary of the NEP's work throughout the country and specifically gives recognition to the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program.
The National Estuary Program/Coastal Waterways Programs works to restore the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of estuaries of national significance and coastal watersheds by protecting and restoring water quality, habitat, and living resources. The water quality and ecological integrity of estuarine and coastal areas is critical to the economic vitality of the United States. In FY 2016, the EPA will provide $16.8 million in Clean Water Act Section 320 grants for the 28 National Estuary Programs ($600,000 per NEP). This funding continues the EPA support for implementation of the NEP Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans.
Community Impact:
The Mobile Bay NEP recently completed a one million dollar project addressing serious erosion and sedimentation problems for Joe's Branch of the D'Olive Creek watershed. This project used funds from the State of Alabama, EPA Section 319 funds as well as EPA Section 320 NEP and local funds. The project was widely supported locally and has successfully addressed the degradation of this waterbody. This is one example of the type of projects that will be accomplished using the FY 2016 requested funds.
EPA Releases 2013 Toxics Release Inventory National Analysis
January 14, 2015
WASHINGTON -- Similar to previous years, in 2013, most of the toxic chemical waste managed at industrial facilities in the U.S. was not released into the environment, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) annual Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) report. The report, published today, shows that approximately 22 billion pounds— or 84 percent— of the 26 billion pounds of toxic chemical waste were instead managed through the use of preferred practices such as recycling. Of the 4 billion pounds that were disposed of or otherwise released to the environment, 66 percent went to land, 19 percent to air, 5 percent to water, and 10 percent was transferred to other facilities.
From 2012 to 2013, the amount of toxic chemicals managed as waste by the nation's industrial facilities increased by 4 percent. This increase includes the amount of chemicals recycled, treated, and burned for energy recovery, as well as the amount disposed of or otherwise released into the environment. In TRI, a "release" generally refers to a chemical that is emitted to the air, water, or placed in some type of land disposal. Most of these releases are subject to a variety of regulatory requirements designed to limit human and environmental harm.
"We all have a right to know what toxic chemicals are being used and released into our environment, and what steps companies are taking to reduce their releases to the environment or, better yet, prevent waste from being generated in the first place." said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "The TRI Program tracks this information and makes it accessible to citizens and communities. And I'm pleased to see that TRI data show such a commitment to release reductions and pollution prevention on the part of many industrial facilities."
TRI data is submitted annually to EPA, states, and tribes by facilities in industry sectors such as manufacturing, metal mining, electric utilities, and commercial hazardous waste. Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), facilities must report their toxic chemical releases for the prior year to EPA by July 1 of each year. The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 also requires facilities to submit information on pollution prevention and other waste management activities related to TRI chemicals.
Over the past 10 years, total disposal or other releases to the environment have decreased 7 percent, despite a 15 percent increase from 2012 to 2013. The most recent increase was primarily due to increases in on-site land disposal from the metal mining sector, as has been the case in previous years. Metal mines typically handle large volumes of material. In this sector, a small change in the chemical composition of the deposit being mined can lead to big changes in the amount of toxic chemicals reported nationally.
Air releases from industrial facilities increased by 1 percent from 2012 to 2013, mainly due to increases from chemical manufacturing facilities and electric utilities that also experienced an increase in production. From 2012 to 2013, releases to water decreased by 2 percent, primarily due to decreases from the primary metals sector.
The TRI report is available in a new interactive, Web-based format that features analyses and interactive maps showing data at a state, county, city, and zip code level. In addition, information about industry efforts to reduce pollution is accessible through the expanded TRI Pollution Prevention (P2) Search Tool, where the public can now identify P2 successes and compare environmental performance among facilities and companies that provide data to the TRI program.
To access the 2013 TRI National Analysis report, including long-term trends and localized analyses, visit http://www.epa.gov/tri/nationalanalysis
More information on facility efforts to reduce toxic chemical releases, including the new P2 parent company comparison report, is available at http://www.epa.gov/tri/p2

Winston Groom talks growing up in Coastal Alabama, 'Forrest Gump' at Bays and Bayous Symposium
Alabama author Winston Groom is introduced as the keynote speaker during the Alabama-Mississippi Bays and Bayous Symposium at the Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center in Mobile, Ala. on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2014. (Dennis Pillion | email@example.com)
MOBILE, Alabama -- Long before he penned "Forrest Gump," "Gone the Sun," or a myriad of other fiction and non-fiction books, Winston Groom grew up on Mobile Bay, hunting and fishing in the Delta, exploring the many natural wonders of Coastal Alabama.
Groom spoke about his youthful experiences and the need for conservation of Alabama's sensitive waters Wednesday at the Alabama Mississippi Bays and Bayous Symposium. The two-day symposium was a gathering of scientists, engineers, government officials, non-profit groups and researchers who are actively involved in issues such as water quality, habitat management and developing resilient coastal communities in the two states.
"After reading through the list of all the projects that are in your program, I feel quite convinced that through your work, interest and dedication, the Alabama estuary system, from Tennessee to Mobile Bay, will be improved and preserved for many generations to come," Groom said. "I thank you for your intelligent science and your care-taking mission of protecting our nation's marine treasures."
Groom told stories of his father cutting a thin notch in a tree and inserting a penny to mark the tree's growth over the years, fishing and boating on Dog River and hunting in nutria rodeos organized to tame the invasive rodent. He also shared his thoughts on conservation issues he sees today from his Point Clear home.
After the main portion of his speech, Groom opened the floor for questions, even about his most famous book.
Groom doesn't mind talking about "Forrest Gump," but he would prefer it if people stopped telling him "life is like a box of chocolates," or giving him boxes of chocolate, or asking if he has a box of chocolate. That famous line from the Academy Award-winning movie was not in his book, but was added in by a Hollywood screenwriter.
"I would never write such a line as that," Groom said. "Ever since then I've been getting chocolates. For 20 years, everywhere I go there's a box of chocolates."
That line was just one example of the difficult task of adapting his book, which he said was about a 6-foot-5 idiot who could run 100 yards in 10 seconds flat, to a studio-acceptable film starring Tom Hanks. Groom compared some parts of the film-making process to "a one-armed man trying to nail together a chicken coop in a hurricane," but he said "somehow we muddled through it and got the movie made."
Groom was one of several keynote speakers at the symposium, organized by the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and many other organizations. Also speaking at the conference was Justin Ehrenwerth, executive director of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council. That council will administer billions of dollars in Deepwater Horizon oil spill fine money over the next several years.
Experts from the Chesapeake Bay also spoke about the conservation programs and studies taking place in Virginia and Maryland, and noted science journalist Ari Daniel delivered a Tuesday night keynote address on his work in the Gulf of Mexico.
Roberta Swann, director of the Mobile Bay NEP, said the biennial conference is a productive gathering point for many separate groups working on similar issues to share information and compare projects. The symposium dates back to 1979, but adopted its current biennial schedule in 2006.
"I think this has been one of the best one yet," Swann said. "We have a lot of repeat customers and you can follow their science over time. There's also a lot of synergy taking place between the engineering firms, some of the resource managers and the scientists.
"Mostly the Bays and Bayous Symposium is about getting the best science on the ground and I think we achieved that."

NFWF Announces $9.6 Million for Gulf Restoration Projects in Alabama
Second Round of Grants from the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund
WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 17, 2014 -- The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) today announced $9.6 million for four Alabama projects that address high-priority conservation needs. The projects, developed in consultation with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and federal resource agencies, are designed to remedy harm or reduce the risk of future harm to natural resources that were affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The moneys are the second obligation from NFWF's Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, created 18 months ago as part of the settlement between the U.S. Department of Justice, BP and Transocean to resolve certain criminal charges against both companies in relation to the spill. Under the allocation formula and other provisions contained in the plea agreements, a total of $356 million will be paid into the Gulf Fund over a five-year period for conservation projects in the state of Alabama.
