Credit Suisse Picks 7 Automation/Robotics Stocks
Frank is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
By Frank Tobe, Editor and Publisher, The Robot Report
Max Nisen of Business Insider wrote recently of a list of seven stock picks discovered in a Credit Suisse report on long term trends. One of those trends was increasing global automation (particularly in China) and the seven picks relate to companies poised to benefit from those needs.
The article and list prompted a series of quick personal opinions concerning almost all of their selections which I thought might be interesting to followers of the robotics industry.
Below are the seven Credit Suisse stock picks with a brief description of what the companies do, my best understanding of Credit Suisse's reason for selecting the stock for the list, and my opinions as to the particular company.
1. Siemens AG (NYSE: SI)
CS Reason: low PE
Siemens derives 31% of its profits from factory automation in which they provide everything but the robots: control and monitoring systems, inspection and vision systems, sensor systems, power supplies, manufacturing and warehousing systems, etc. Siemens also makes consumer products and provides transportation systems and health care and hospital products.
FT Comment: Because Siemens is into so many different activities, they are a good conglomerate but not necessarily a good bet for automation and robotics. Their stock moves to a different drummer then a company that is devoted only to robotics such as, for example, FANUC. It may be a good conservative bet for a long-term hold... if you want to invest in conglomerates. Other conglomerates with some involvement in robotics include Textron and Teledyne for example.
2. Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK)
CS Reason: possible acquisition target
Rockwell provides automation power, control and information systems. Many factory robot systems include Rockwell control boxes to drive their robots and integrate their activities into the larger factory system. Rockwell and its subsidiaries also provide servos, power systems and sensors.
FT Comment: Up until recently the computing power necessary to compute the complex math of robotic movement and control the multiple motors that drive a robot were offloaded into separate boxes for that purpose. Rockwell has been a leader in this field for a long time. But with the cost and size of CPUs dropping and the need for mobility in all the newer-tech robots, Rockwell may face an uncertain future and a diminishing share of the robotics ancillary products and control systems marketplace.
3. FANUC Corp. (TYO:6954)
CS Reason: Has 20% of global robot market
FANUC is a Japanese company mainly engaged in factory automation equipment including CNC systems, laser products and all forms of robots and robotics. They just completed a new "black" factory for the production of robots for sale in China.
FT Comment: FANUC is predominantly a robotics company and hasn't suffered too much from the tsunami disaster. They have been ramping up because there is great demand for their robots and systems in China as well as the rest of the world. Unless there emerges a Chinese competitor in the near term -- such as Foxconn might become -- FANUC has the potential for success over the next many years. Other robot manufacturers similar to FANUC include ABB, KUKA (ETR:KU2), Yaskawa Electric (TYO:6506) and Adept.
4. Delta Electronics (TPE:2308)
CS Reason: Competitive in Chinese market with high operating profits
Delta Electronics is a Taiwan-based supplier of power supplies, power switching devices, servo motors, and video and electromechanical products. Industrial automation products represent 8% of revenue but 20+% of profits.
FT Comment: Taiwan-based Delta Electronics' motors are a staple in China and barring anything unforeseen, they are a good bet to continue that trend. However, industrial automation products are a small portion of their gross revenue, are considered a commodity product, and consequently may not be an important component of the value of the company. It may be an interesting company for other purposes, but not automation.
5. Keyence (TYO:6861)
CS Reason: Will benefit from aging societies investment in automation
Keyence designs and produces sensors, vision and laser imaging and range-finding technologies used in robot mobility and factory automation applications and vision systems.
FT Comment: Microsoft and PrimeSense blindsided many of the laser-scanner companies with their new-tech low-cost scanners and eloquent software. The marketplace now expects that low cost but, at present, cannot meet its needs for scanning with Kinect-like devices. [This is changing however with better and better software.] That, combined with a slow recovery from the twin economic and tsunami crises have hurt Keyence, a Japan-based company. Even though they are cash rich and profitable at present, they haven't fully recovered from the economic crisis and their annual reports don't seem to indicate research efforts that will enable lower cost technologies in the future. Currently there is sharp pressure on pricing and Keyence, Optech, V-Gen, Velodyne and other LIDAR and laser-scanning manufacturers are beginning to feel it. A few of these companies are embracing Kinect-like devices to supplement their product lines but I see the automation marketplace finding newer technologies at much lower cost from newly emerging companies to fill this very necessary vision/mobility task. Notable alternative vendors providing vision systems for robotics and automation include Cognex and Raytheon. The biggest and most known provider of laser scanners is SICK AG, a privately held company.
6. Mitsubishi Electric (TYO:6503)
CS Reason: Market leader in computers that control automated production machines
Mitsubishi Electric designs and manufactures heavy industrial electrical equipment as well as power modules, consumer electronics and robots. 20-30% of their operating profits are derived from the sale of factory automation equipment.
FT Comment: Mitsubishi has been a market leader in industrial robotics and the computers that control them. And they have a big and well-respected sales presence in China. They do not have much of a presence in the emerging service robotics sector however, and this suggests that they will do well as an industrial robotics provider but may not capture market share in either the emerging SME or service robotics markets.
CS Reason: Expanding 10% market share of motors and servos
TECO is a Taiwanese manufacturer of all types of electrical motors and electrical control products including those used in and with robotics and factory automation. They also have a consumer products line and a big market share in China.
FT Comment: Robots and factory automation systems require all sorts of equipment and systems to do their tasks. Electrical motors and their control systems are integral to that process. But there are many providers and TECO is just one -- Yaskawa Electric and ABB are names more familiar to the robotics world that provide similar servos and electrical equipment and systems. To some extent, this is a commodity business with ever-lower prices and global competition; not a particularly appealing market for the long term.
* * *
What I See:
The opinions expressed above are based on what I see happening in factory automation, industrial robotics and other types of robotics involved in the production, movement and handling of products over the next few years.
Industrial robotics as we know it -- caged arms welding, painting and manipulating long streams of mass-produced automotive and electrical goods -- will continue to grow at a healthy pace as more of the world stays competitive by automating their factories. The major players in this field are robot manufacturers KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa Motoman, Mitsubishi, FANUC and providers of ancillary systems and equipment like Rockwell Automation, Delta Electronics, Keyence, Cognex and others. Many research firms have projected steady growth for this sector at 3-5% CAGR for the rest of this decade.
Other types of factory automation may not be as visible as a robotic arm; instead it might be a process control or material handling system that is robotic in nature. This robotic-like form of automation and industrial robotics are both moving toward produce-on-demand systems which require great mechanical flexibility and complex software and systems. This is a moving target which progresses as technology does -- literally changing day by day -- and utilizes advanced sensors, fast computer processing, massive data manipulation and complex algorithms.
It's not just visible robots but whole robotic-like automation systems that are enabling companies to compete with low-cost labor from off shore. This is true even in countries like China which is beginning to upgrade their product quality and worker efficiency while coping with higher wages -- and they are doing this through automating as much as they can.
Far more companies are beginning to automate to stay competitive than just big factories. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are propelling the service robotics segment of the robotics industry forward to new capabilities and expectations. SMEs need robots that are plug and play, easily trainable, have vision capabilities, are super flexible and safe to work alongside -- just like their iPads and apps from the App Store. Thus manufacturers of stand-alone control systems and companies that provide systems integration may not be as needed in the SME marketplace as they were (and for the time being are) for big factory robotics. New co-robot manufacturers like Rethink Robotics, Redwood Robotics and Universal Robots (Denmark), and software developers like Universal Robotics (US) and their Neocortex control system for 3D sensing of random objects and then integrating that data into user systems (e.g., into Yaskawa's Motoman 2-armed robots) -- all privately held -- may become disruptive and take away market share from the bigger companies.
Up until recently, neither vision-enabled systems nor mobility in manufacturing has been economically feasible, but that is changing. Mobile robots today move things from here to there and can be summoned and instructed by iPads. Buyers expect that mobile robotic devices be self-contained and encapsulate their various systems within the device; again, no need for stand-alone control systems or systems integration except, perhaps, in the Cloud. And vision-enabled robotic systems are proliferating and making it possible to get more from existing robots.

Source: Tesla Motors

Case in point is Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) which uses multiple tools for their robots to allow them to do a quick tool changes and perform multiple functions, e.g., welding, riveting, bonding and installing a component, yet the core robots are old-style fixed-to-the-floor KUKA, Fanuc and Fronius robots and mobile SmartCarts from Motion Controls.
Almost every non-industrial robotic system (which, for lack of a better term is presently called Service Robotics) involved in making, moving or handing products, has the expectation of mobility, safety, vision, trainability without programming, and great flexibility. That is where the industry seems to be heading and the industrial players are slowly transitioning to be able to provide for that need. The companies mentioned above are beginning that transition -- but not very fast because they have a healthy and profitable growing industrial market already. Perhaps newer more adventurous companies will move more quickly to capture this market segment.
There are publicly-traded exciting companies out there that will likely benefit from the trend toward automation. 3D printer companies like Stratasys and 3D Systems will play a key role in this emerging market sector but privately held companies like MakerBot may register to go public and give them some competition. Kiva Systems and their innovative warehousing system was recently acquired by Amazon (the acquisition occurred in lieu of Kiva going public). This reminded me how important Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is in providing material handing in addition to being an online sales force. To quote Bruce Welty in the Huffington Post:
During the California Gold Rush, there were many fortunes made and lost but one of the more enduring successes was Levi-Strauss, a clothier to all miners. Levi's never had to worry about which miners were going to discover gold; they all needed pants. In the New American Economy, these trends all converge around advanced fulfillment capabilities. Amazon has invested in its fulfillment capability for just that reason. The "Levi-Strauss-like" opportunity of today is in Fulfillment or, more specifically, Robotic Fulfillment.
Finally, Credit Suisse didn't mention other areas for automation and there are many. One example is hospital automation -- a big market for pill dispensing robots, mobile tugs to deliver linens, meals, trash and medicines, autonomous cleaners of all types and remote presence robots. Three public companies of note are Swisslog (SW:SLOG), Adept and iRobot and two at-present privately-held companies are InTouch Health and Aethon.

Confront the challenge and rise above
When Dr. James McCarty, medical director, pediatric infectious diseases, Children's Hospital, began treating Iquo Udoh for valley fever, he told her to prepare for a marathon. Fortunately, the 16-year-old is known for her tenacity.
Iquo's strength of character contributed to her remarkable recovery from a motor vehicle accident the previous year, when life-threatening head injuries kept her in pediatric intensive care and pediatric rehabilitation at Children's for six weeks.
"Iquo had a high-impact crash," said Dr. Peter Witt, medical director, pediatric plastic surgery. "She had a cranial facial disjunction, which means the face is detached from the skull. Hers was easily the most shattered face I'd seen."
"I'm a nurse and I have seen so many things," said Mary Udoh, Iquo's mother. "But I had not seen a patient that serious that came out OK." "Iquo is that case everybody remembers that shows the unexpected can happen when patients receive expert care," said Dr. Gary Magram, medical director, pediatric neurosurgery. "That's why we do all we can for every patient with a traumatic brain injury, because you never know."
Seven months after Iquo's first marathon hospital stay, she began experiencing debilitating headaches and intense hip and back pain.A visit with an orthopaedic surgeon in her hometown of Bakersfield led to an MRI scan that revealed a mass in her pelvis. The surgeon suspected cancer or valley fever, and sent Iquo back to Children's for diagnosis, where pediatric experts recognized the illness immediately.
With 264 valley fever cases in 2012, Children's treated an estimated 25 percent of all California kids hospitalized with valley fever that year, according to the California Department of Public Health.
The infection, caused by inhaling the spores of a soil fungus native to the San Joaquin Valley, had invaded Iquo's skin, pelvis, bones and brain. Treatment would require a lengthy inpatient stay – Iquo's second in less than a year.
Dr. McCarty administered a combination of antifungal drugs he developed for severe cases. Details of this unique regimen appeared in Clinical Infectious Diseases, the peer-reviewed publication of the Infectious Disease Society of America.
Iquo was discharged after four weeks to continue treatment assisted by Children's Home Care, with daily infusions at home taking as long as six hours initially. Even after two intense marathons, Iquo's positive attitude is firmly intact, proving yet again her strength of character.

Your arms wrapped tightly around me, holding me, shielding me from the world and the utter pain that comes with it. Your breath on my ear, as you softly murmur our inside jokes to me. Your voice gentle and calm, making me trust you. As you let go and walk away, I feel lonelier than I have ever felt before. I depend on you, I need you. I need his love and passion, his arms against me. His lips brushing against mine. I need his shelter to protect me from the world.
Jenna and I walk into the arcade; it was called Ali's Arcade. It was very dark, and wasn't much of an arcade. People just went there to talk and hang out. Walking in, you are hit with the pungent scent of smoke-always no matter what time of day. It had been a month since that day in the hallway after school. The day we had met, that changed my life.
Hope you all like, i might make into a story but i don't know i need you all your opinions as usual. You are the ones that keep me writing, my readers! Thank you!

ur welcome !!!
this is totally awesome!!!
I shake my head trying to forget the thoughts. You broke my heart, I must move on. Or that's what Jenna says. With a cough I look around. I see your crew of friends and look away, I can't let my eyes look there otherwise I will look for you. I didn't think this would happen to me, but it did. Figures life is just like that, throwing things at you, you never expected.
Jenna brushes her shoulder against me, knowing the thoughts that passed me through my head. She led me over to the "bar." The bar served drinks to us teenagers but if asked by officials they would deny it. My parents are fools. They think I'm so good and everything and that I am an honor student. I would love to see their faces when they saw me order a Sambuca shot. As the bartender hands over the shot, I grip the small shot glass with my fingers tightly. I close my eyes and raise the glass to my lips and down it. The liquid burns my throat. But the pain feels good, after everything I've been through with you. A year ago I could never picture myself here. But that changed when I met you. On that one day, that simple smile and conversation changed my life and left an imprint on my heart.
awwwwwww...so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!
pls pls continue it!
i would totally like to read more!
i can see it...a heartbreakingly wonderful story!!!!!
it is already so sad...u have to continue...for me...lol.
Always...ur friend..Ashmeena!

Is Top Tier gas better for your car?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline promises to keep your engine a lot cleaner, without a lot of additional cost.
This post come from Angela Colley at partner site Money Talks News.
We broke a record recently . . . for gas prices. The national average for a gallon of gas was $3.74 -- a record for the time of year and 16 cents higher than the same time last year, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
Cheapskate that I am, I've bought gas at some questionable locations, like the gas station that didn't have a brand, just a sign that read "GAS!" under a giant inflatable gorilla. Like most drivers, I'm all about price, never giving much thought to quality. After all, gas is gas, right?
Well, maybe not. In this video, Stacy Johnson discusses Top Tier Detergent Gasoline, a special blend with additives that's supposed to help your car. Take a look, then continue reading below.
What exactly is Top Tier?
At first glance, Top Tier may seem like another way of saying "premium." But that's not the case. Premium is gasoline with a higher octane rating. Octanes are a group of hydrocarbons added to gas to slow down the fuel's urge to self-ignite. They simply help engines run without pinging or knocking. Car manufacturers recommend premium gasoline for some cars, but many don't need it. And if your car is rated for a lower octane, buying premium offers no benefit.
Top Tier gas is a special blend promoted by General Motors, BMW, Honda, Toyota, Audi, and Volkswagen. It contains detergent additives designed to reduce the buildup of engine deposits. Top Tier can be any octane rating.
Does it work?
While there's no denying that Top Tier gas has added cleaning agents, there is debate as to whether they make a distinguishable difference. All gasoline has to contain enough detergent additives to meet standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Top Tier simply has more. You can read opposing viewpoints in this USA Today article.
As you saw in the video, mechanic Pam Oakes says Top Tier gas does clean carbon out of your engine and is worth buying. She says she's seen the difference it can make with her own eyes.
The bottom line: Top Tier could help your engine and won't hurt it. And since Top Tier gas costs refiners only about a penny more per gallon to produce than traditional blends -- unlike premium -- it shouldn't set you back much more at the pump.
Where to find it
The list of retailers offering Top Tier can change, but you can always find it on the Top Tier site here. The current list:
- 76 Stations
- Aloha Petroleum
- Chevron
- Conoco
- CountryMark
- Entec Stations
- Exxon
- Hawaii Fueling Network (HFN)
- Holiday Stationstores Inc.
- Kwik Trip/Kwik Star
- MFA Oil
- Mileage Stations
- Mobil
- Ohana Fuels
- Phillips 66
- Quik Trip
- Rebel Oil
- Road Ranger
- Severson Oil
- Shell
- Texaco
- Tri-Par Oil
- U.S. Oil

How does your car insurance compare?
Top Tier is garbage for the most part. As a tuner, who works very closely with other tuners, we recommend just 3 brands of gas; Exxon, Mobil or BP (Exxon/Mobil didn't used to considered Top Tier). Sunoco is iffy. Shell is the absolute worst gas on the planet, and most cars will show knock retard using it. For those who don't know, detergents don't burn. They destroy octane. Any of the cleaners in gas or the off the shelf cleaners are horrible for performance. We never recommend using them, under ANY circumstances. Your car WILL knock with them in the tank, whether its a POS Corolla, or a Hi-Po Porsche. If you don't believe it, buy a Data logger and see what the knock sensors are doing.
For my CTS-V, its never had anything in its tank other then BP Amoco Ultimate. I used to use Exxon and Mobil in my SRT8s, but since they always cost more, no sense in using them any more.
in regards to bad gas, i think that all gas stations are prone to contamination because the tanks are accessible to the public and anyone can pour liquid into them (or steal gas through from them)
I don't believe that gasoline additives make any real difference that can be documented. The very USA Today article states "All gasoline should be adequate. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires a certain level of engine-cleaning additives in gasoline. And bulk gasoline before the additives go in must meet certain industry standards. But Shell and others trying to distinguish themselves from the discounters say that fuel meeting just those minimum standards won't keep your engine clean."
"Ford Motor, not in the Top Tier coalition, says right on its gasoline caps, "Ford recommends BP," not a Top Tier brand. "Their fuel meets or exceeds what our vehicles require. We know their products" from collaborating on lubricant and fuel research, says Ford spokesman Said Deep.
It's simply snake oil, if it makes you feel better buy it but rest assured it's waste of money. o test has eveproved hat it makes any appreciable difference.

Economic Review articles are posted on the Web as they become available. Page numbers in the PDF file posted here may not reflect the page numbers of the printed version.
|Banks' Responses to Binding Regulatory Capital Requirements
Larry D. Wall and
Since the early 1980s U.S. bank regulators have focused increasingly on the adequacy of banks' capital ratios. This article begins with a review of the changes to U.S. capital regulations and theoretical models for determining banks' capital strategy. The authors then survey numerous studies that examine banks' responses, and the costs associated with their responses, to these regulations.
|Do State and Local Taxes Affect Relative State Growth?
Zsolt Becsi
The South has seen a remarkable economic rise during the past three decades. Was this growth a result of automatic forces or was it fueled by state and local tax policies? Traditional economic theory suggests that forces of convergence, not tax policies, have moved the southern states toward catching up with the rest of the nation. But more recent economic models recognize that convergence and low tax rates may not be mutually exclusive explanations for the South's stronger growth.
|FYI -- Tracking Manufacturing: An Update on the Survey of Southeastern Manufacturing
R. Mark Rogers
In late 1991 the Atlanta Fed's research department launched the first comprehensive survey to focus solely on indicators of manufacturing activity in the Southeast. Because the manufacturing sector is more cyclical than most other sectors, the Survey of Southeastem Manufacturing Conditions has been helpful in tracking the region's economy.

FLOWERY BRANCH–The Falcons already have wrapped up the NFC's No. 1 seed but they don't plan to take their foot off the gas against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The Falcons want to stay sharp heading into their bye week. They think the best way to do that is for the starters to play and try to win the regular-season finale even if it doesn't affect their playoff standing.
"We are not going to change the way we approach this game," safety Thomas DeCoud said. "We are going to attack it like it's week three. We're all expecting to play and all expecting to play well. We have to put our best foot forward before the postseason."
The Falcons turned in strong efforts in victories against the Giants and Lions. They think easing off now would set a bad precedent.
"We are trying to keep the momentum going," center Todd McClure said. "I feel like offensively we've played well the past few games. And the more we can go out there and put on tape, whoever we have to prepare for the harder it makes it for them. And we are getting paid next Sunday, so we've got to go out and play."
Falcons coach Mike Smith said he and his staff are game-planning this week just like any other. He said the Falcons won't be "vanilla" with their schemes out of fear of giving their potential playoff opponents more film to scout.
"We want to go through the process the same as we always do," Smith said. "I think it's very important for us to finish regular season off in the right way."

Ending the season with a win will do a lot for the mental psyche of the team. These guys don't need to be reminded what is at stake, first get the playoff win we get the lowest seed. No reason to overlook any team in the playoffs we just have to go out there and beat them whom ever it may be.
December 27th, 2012

Finish the drill! Or to quote Keifer Sutherland "finish the game"! Rise up!!!
December 27th, 2012

You definitely need to play the starters, the bye week is there for a reason!! Finish the regular season strong and rest next week!! ATL RISE UP!! We dont need any rust, we need to be fine tuned before the week off.!! We been winning without extra rest and we geling at the right time!
December 27th, 2012
9:44 am
Every week there's a new team on the rise according to the expert analyst, their only guessing because they refuse to give Atlanta any credit for a successfull season . I hope we draw Seattle the hottest and latest team to emerge as a threat to everyone in the post season tournament. I'm ok getting no respect from the experts, we'll earn it first then we'll show them how wrong they've been all along.
December 27th, 2012

IF you win that first playoff game, the conversation will have to change drastically. I cannot wait to see what happens when the talking heads lose that single negative point.
You talk about a confident team strolling into the (dilapidated) Ga Dome….RISE UP
December 27th, 2012
9:49 am
They will lose the first playoff game. It doesn't matter. This is truly a laughing matter that the Falcons fans THINK that their unchampionshipworthy team is ACTUALLY going to WIN a PLAYOFF game. Hahahahahahahaha! Too funny!
December 27th, 2012
9:50 am
Yep…the Falcons will rise up and OUT of the playoffs quickly. 1 game in and out for the season..too funny.
December 27th, 2012
9:52 am
I like when Roddy said that the Falcons should'nt fear or worry about any team their facing in the playoffs. Any team can beat any team-that's why you must be dominant and confident when the whistle starts the first playoff game.
December 27th, 2012
10:05 am
The momentum is there to carry the Falcons all the way to the SB. All teams fear the Falcons, and do not want to play in the GD.

It's cool to express yourself, and you say the Falcons will not win the first playoff game. We Falcon fans believe a different story is unfolding therefore you and I will have to wait and see what happens. How's that for a prediction.
December 27th, 2012
10:13 am
If Ryan plays more than one half, I will be disappointed in the coaching staff. Yes you want to win, but don't risk your QB to win a meaningless game. If Ryan takes a shot to the knee or bangs his passing hand on an opponents helmet, everyone saying 'Keep the gas on" will be calling Coach Smith an idiot.
December 27th, 2012
10:18 am
I love all the haters, "the Falcons won't win their 1st playoff game". Keep hating, the Falcons will just keep winning and you guys will just crawl back under the rock in your mother's basement. Rise Up!

All kinds of bad things can happen in ANY game, but there's no need to invite trouble when it doesn't really matter. Play everybody and have fun and try not to get anybody hurt.
December 27th, 2012
10:32 am
We seen it before teams that win a lot of game or 1st seed get kick out of the playoffs. We will hope that Smitty learned as well as Matt Ryan from that disappointing year of football. I will say, this is a better football time with better coaching. Smitty has to out coach the team that makes it out of COWBOYS/REDSKIN game because I feel they are coming to the GA DOME. Green Bay was 8-8, New York Giants 8-8, and the Arizona Carolinas went to the Super Bowl. Atlanta Falcons understand this maddness, it has too end. The Atlanta Falcons have to have a good week of practice, cleaning any bad habits they may have on Offense, Defense, and Special Team. Take care of the body, look at film, and hope that the team they play come in the GA Dome hurt, so that Atlanta Falcons can come in destroying them in all 4 quarters of the game. Win or Go Home. GO FALCONS!!!!!
December 27th, 2012

Falcons will blow out every opponent in the playoffs. Book it. I'm an insider.
December 27th, 2012

Dled, Good stuff, I want to see the BIRDS duplicate the effort we have seen the previous two games. I remember Tampa's coach from his days coaching the Scarlet Knights…this guy is got a lot of Pride…he will have his guys ready to play.
Come playoff time…if I'm the BIRDS…IT'S A FULL MOON…I'M A WEREWOLF…I'M PISSED OFF…F IT…I JUST WANT TO KICK SOMEBODIES…ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!LOL

We must establish a run game!
Somebody take the ball and run for long gains and touchdowns.
MT33 reminds me of an intoxicated person trying to run into a wall. He can't get around it and tries repeatedly to run staight at the wall and gets knocked back again and again. Sadly, I give him the nickname,"STONEWALL"! No lateral movement when approaching the line. I believe he has a "tell" when he is going to get the ball.
Or someone on the offensive line shows a "tell" to the defense.
I'd like to see some new wrinkles in the offense.
MS says he wants to play 60 except when we have a lead.
I do see a tendency to revert to conservative football. Probably comes from a lack of faith in the our defense, which in past years has been sketchy.
Tampa this week and let the second string play. I'd like to see Dominic Davis and McCown get some reps.Allowing Antoine Smith to get some Game experience may be the answer we need at RB. And for some reason I see a "halfback" pass.
As I used to sing.."It's Now or Never"..I'll change the lyrics to ,"It's NOW or NEXT Year"
Rise up ..Angry Birds..Rise up !!!!
December 27th, 2012
11:35 am
Heck, Tim Tebow's got more coverage than the Falcons. That's ok, just wait… this team won't fold as before. Mat's gonna lite 'em up first round and it will be an eye opener for all the nay sayers. Confidence will be there and the team will play to their potental. Hide 'un watch.
December 27th, 2012

I just hope nobody gets injured. Be aggressive, but play smart.

They will find a way to choke. They all do. ALL GEORGIA sports teams find ways to choke. Do i need to explain further? No? Ok…i will anyway.
Sugar Bowl 2012, Dogs hang with Bama entire game and even though Bama ran the ball up and down the field, the Dogs still could have won, but the Dogs burned up all their timeouts, (2) right after halftime! They only needed one of them at the five yard line with time running out. But because they had the same amount of time the Tide had at half to re-group, the coaching staff still came out and coughed up two quick timouts in the game before the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
Georgia Southern Div I-AA Semi's againts North Dakota, they controlled the whole second half and couldnt hold them on a 85 yard drive when they needed to get the most important stop of the game. But two really dumb personal foul penalties help N Dakoa get field position and on 4th and 3 from the five yard line, they ran a QB draw and the guy walks into the end zone…REALLY?!!!
And lets not talk about the biggest CHOKERS in Atlanta sports history…alas, our beloved Braves. This team finished the season as the best defensive team in the league and what do they do? We know that story, they fumbled and kicked the ball around like they were in the Little League World Series and then came the Beer Bottle Bowl. Can't blame that on the refs, they just plain choked.
Now we come to the Falcants, once again they have given us a great season, but even with home field advantage, i just have a fealing that they will somehow, someway, find a way to break our hearts again. But until then, i will root, but not expect too much, cause like many other Georgians, we have grown to expect the worse and groaned when we thought we had a winner, year after year after year.
December 27th, 2012
12:29 pm
I pray that no one is injured but I would risk keeping the momentum by playing all the starters through the first half. That's it.
December 27th, 2012
12:31 pm
It's a toss-up in the playoffs these days. The best team rarely wins, just the hottest. Just a tournament, like March Madness and baseball. So are the Falcons the hottest right now? No. The Seahawks, Redskins, Broncos, and Bengals are the hottest. Expect one of those four teams to win the Super Bowl.

No fans in America deserve a championship more then fans from ATLANTA. We have suffered longer and harder than anyone.
I'm talking about REAL fans, not fair weather fans.
I'm talking about those of us who were born here, and have never jumped on another city's bandwagon.
We have more locally-born fans of the Cowboys, Steelers and Packers than any city in the country.
These people are weak. They're the kind of people who would leave their spouse for getting cancer because they can't bear the pain.
The Falcons will win it all one day. Maybe not this year, but eventually. We loyal fans will be vindicated on that day.
This is the best opportunity we've ever had. Falcons players, please don't squander it. Make that catch, make that tackle, make that block, fight for that extra yard. Let's win this thing.
There are some people who are counting on you.
December 27th, 2012
1:00 pm
Some ex-clown-player on the NFL network gave his opinion that the Falcons should play all there starters until the game has been decided such as a blow out….and THEN substitute with the second string….why risk an injury when the game has already been decided! Hey numbnuts! THE GAME HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED! We don't need to win THIS game! The league has decided FOR US! We have the number 1 seed. We get a bye week. We play all our playoff games at home! NONE of that can change no matter what the outcome of this game! I'd say that makes this a DECIDED game, don't you???
December 27th, 2012
1:02 pm
"You play to win the game!" ……so let's play to win the game…..with the second string guys!!!
December 27th, 2012
1:46 pm
You can't approach the game thinking you're going to get hurt. Go out get a big lead and then start taking players out of the game. I think the Bucs lost their momentum about five games ago. The Bucs are kind of down and want to end the season on a positive note. This is when you want to put your foot on their neck. Go Birds!!
December 27th, 2012

I know that somebody has to lose in the 1st round, but why is it always Matty Ice?

Maybe somebody should get injured. The 2nd string can't do any worse than 0-3.

They haven't won in the last three play-off games, so they won't this year…blah, blah, blah.
This is all that the haters have to work with anymore. It is truly pitiful that these negative Nancy's feel compelled to post their tripe on ajc blogs. Must be nice to have such time on your hands. This is my team and always has been, therefore, I post occasionally. I certainly don't go to another team's blog and foist my thoughts upon their fans, nor do I tell them how crappy their team is compared to ours (that would be all of them, btw). I suppose it's nice to know that our team inspires such jealousy and fear in other fans that they can't sit on their little hands until this season plays itself out. Instead they feel they must make themselves heard and spew the negativity that so utterly surrounds them. Feel free to come back to our blogs and eat your words in the near future. We all look forward to that.
Go Falcons!
December 27th, 2012
3:07 pm
I'm concerned. The Falcons played a fairly easy schedule and lack a serious running game. They were lucky not to lose the first game (in A-town) against the last place Panthers and then were recently blown out by Carolina. They caught the Giants, who are in a death spiral, at the right time. So I don't know if they're really as good as their won/loss record. Hope so, but I fear a day of reckoning is coming in the playoffs.

Bust ALL remaining opponents in the mouth starting with the Bucs this Sunday. We need a "take no prisoners" attitude to take into the playoffs.
December 27th, 2012
3:43 pm
This is fantastic news! I think they have the right mentality by playing to win this final game.
Don't be a coward. Either support the team or don't, but don't stand there with your legs straddling the fence waiting to see which side wins. It is unbecoming.
December 27th, 2012
3:48 pm
Not only are the Falcons going to win it all, they are going to steamroll every team they face in the process.

You learn more by failure than by success. Fact. The Falcons have got it figured out. Even this season, when they took their eye off the ball, they were wobbly. When they played with focus, and employed the experience that they have, they were devastatingly great. Three losses of heartache is the payment for this season's success.
December 27th, 2012
5:58 pm
Winning on Sunday means nothing, which means losing on Sunday means nothing.
Yes, start the starters (other than those who are "questionable"). Yes, play to win the game. But if Ryan or any other starter save for Turner plays into the second half, Smitty is a fool.
Losing Ryan or White or Abraham for a few weeks to an injury caused by an angry team going nowhere would spell the end of the playoff run.
And spell the end of Smitty's run as head coach.

This pretty little coffee filter angel is perfect as is, but you can dress her up with glitter to give her an extra special glow. Decorate your whole home with festive Christmas crafts! Create homemade cards, your own Christmas ornaments, tasty Christmas recipes, or just snuggle up together with printable Christmas activities.
To embellish your angel, try using gold glitter glue or glue and glitter as decoration. We do not recommend using markers for facial features as the ink may bleed through the filter. If you really want to add facial features, try using a toothpick and acrylic paint.
Place two cotton balls in the center of one of the coffee filters (see image).
Hold the coffee filter with your fingers, gathering the cotton balls in the center to create the angel's head.
Place a second coffee filter onto the open end, tucking the filter in a bit into the head area. This will produce the layered effect on the dress (see image).
While still holding the filter together, tie a piece of gold or silver ribbon around the "neck" and tie a tight bow. Trim ends and set aside (see image).
Take the third coffee filter and fold it in half, then fold the filter up length-wise accordion style. Wrap a white chenille stem around the center, and then fan out the wings (see image). Fold the excess chenille into a loop for your hanger and twist together at the end.
Make a halo from the gold chenille by wrapping it around something circular, such as the top of a paint bottle. Twist the ends to form the halo. Trim the long end of the chenille, leaving approximately 3" (see image).
Have an adult hot glue the halo to the back of the angel so that it is positioned above the head.
Glue the wings in place behind the angel, hiding the gold chenille from the halo.

Design brief
You've seen map pins on Google Earth, Google Map, etc. I'm looking for a pin design that does the same function (pinpointing a particular part of an image or photo), but I want it to be a new style of pin not used or seen before.
This is for a software startup whose detailed intentions must at this point remain confidential. However, a key function of the product requires that a user be able to "pin" a marker onto a photo or any other image with a mouse click. I want this marker (hereinafter referred to as a pin) to be small enough to not block out lots of screen real estate, but large enough to quickly notice at a glance.
- The marker should be some variant of a pin -- a sharp, pointy end that appears to "stick" into a specific point in an image, and a larger pin body on the other end.
- The shape should be stylish and unique.
- The other end of the pin should be large enough to have a 3-character label placed on it by the software.
- There should be at least 8 different colored pin images provided. Bright colors such as red, yellow, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, white, and orange will work fine, as well as metallic (gold, copper, pewter, etc). Feel free to subsitute or add other colors to suit your sense of style.
- It would be nice (but not required) to have several sizes of pin. None need be larger than the yellow "top hat" shaped pin that is Google Earth's standard. Strong consideration given to those who do their image in vector (or other format that provides similar sizing capability) so I can do my own resizing.
- The pin graphic must be able to be displayed either as an opaque solid object, or as a transparent object so the image behind the pin is still somewhat visible.
- I do NOT want a pin style like those found in Google Earth or Google Map or like the little ones with the round plastic ball on the end one finds actually sticking into real maps. Can you say B-O-R-I-N-G?
- It should be a vector graphic or some other contemporary format of image that results in a "lightweight" object.

TORONTO -- Who said this year's Canadian junior team can't score goals?
Six goals were scored in under seven minutes of a wild third period as Casey Cizikas got the game-winner and Linden Veh added the empty-net tally in Team White's 7-5 victory over Team Red in an intrasquad game Monday night at the selection camp for Canada's world junior championship team.
There has been concern that the squad lacks the firepower of recent Canadian teams, but it didn't look that way on this night.
"Everyone says we don't have much offence but it shows that even if we don't have the John Tavares and the Taylor Halls, we have people who can put the puck in the net," said Red team forward Zack Kassian. "They're making cuts (Tuesday) so everyone wanted to give it that extra oomph.
"Everyone played hard and we're leaving a hard decision for the coaches."
Cody Eakin and Jared Cowen also scored in the third for White, which had earlier scores from Kassian, Ryan Johansen and Brendan Gallagher.
Jaden Schwartz and Curtis Hamilton scored in the first frame while Ryan Howse, Rielly Smith and Carter Ashton had goals in the third for Red, which outshot White 34-28.
It was a second intrasquad game in as many nights, after Red's 4-1 win on Sunday, and jittery play was replaced by more determined, desperate hockey in the last chance for some to show the coaches what they can do.
The first cuts are to be announced Tuesday morning, with the full 22-man roster named on Wednesday.
"It's never an easy thing waiting on a call to see if you made the cut, but if you worked hard, you can go home and even if you get cut, you know you left it all out there," added Kassian.
The stocky Schwartz, a solid performer in both games, got his second goal in as many games only 55 seconds in and Hamilton put Red up 2-0 when he beat J.P. Anderson with a 10-foot wrist shot on a feed from Riley Sheahan at 5:10.
Johansen went to the net to tip Ryan Murphy's point shot in on a power play at 18:46 and White took the lead as Kassian scored 51 seconds into the second and Gallagher finished a two-on-one by beating Olivier Roy with a high shot at 9:57.
Both teams then changed goalies. Roy stopped 12 of 15 shots, while Mark Visentin saved nine of 12 for Red. Anderson stopped 10 of 12 and Calvin Pickard saved 19 of 22 on a tough night for all the goaltenders.
"It was one of those full moon nights for the goaltenders, with pucks bouncing off and going in and stuff like that," said coach Dave Cameron.
Most of the lines were shuffled from the first game, except for a strong forechecking line of Sheahan between Hamilton and Marcus Foligno for Red and Sean Couturier with Michael Bournival and Kassian for White.
Defence duos were also changed, including one of six-foot-five Cowen and six-foot-four Erik Gudbranson that Cameron hopes will become his shut down pair.
"Two guys as big as we are, it takes up a lot of space with our sticks and bodies so, if that happens, I think it will be great for us," said Cowen, one of four returning players from last year's team who are almost certain to be kept, along with Ryan Ellis, Calvin de Haan and Brayden Schenn.
Cizikas played through a back problem that flared up when he took a hard hit in the first intrasquad game and was strong enough to post a goal and an assist.
"I don't think there'll be much sleep," he said. "I didn't have a great game the first night but I thought I played better. I had to prove I could deal with pain."
