Oxford, MS (Sports Network) - Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead has decided to bypass his senior season to enter the 2010 NFL Draft.
Snead threw for 2,632 yards and 20 touchdowns with 20 interceptions this past season for the Rebels, who finished 9-4 and beat Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl.
"After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to forego my final year at Ole Miss and enter the NFL Draft," said Snead. "The fans, coaches and my teammates at Ole Miss have been unbelievable, and I want to thank them for an incredible experience. In the end, I had to do what is best for me and my family. Having finished my degree, I look forward to the challenge and hard work that comes with pursuing my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL."
Snead had a better statistical year in 2008, his first as a starter for Ole Miss, completing 56.3 percent of his passes for 2,762 yards with 26 touchdowns and just 13 interceptions. His 46 career touchdown passes are second only to Eli Manning's school record of 81.
"After long talks last night and this morning, we tried very hard to keep Jevan as an Ole Miss Rebel for one more year," said Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt. "We want to thank Jevan for his outstanding play as our quarterback the last two years and wish him nothing but the best. We will be keeping up with him on the next level."
In Snead's two years under center, the Rebels experienced their most successful period in almost 40 years, posting back-to-back nine-win seasons for the first time since 1961-62 and consecutive January bowl victories for the first time since 1960-61.
The Connecticut Huskies surprised the field from the No. 7 seed to capture their fourth national championship men's title.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Most people chose to stay home due to heavy snow coming to the area, but the weather didn't stop theatre goers in Schenectady.
First responders were prepared for anything Wednesday with the incoming snow fall.
"We're gonna prep for the worst," Schenectady Fire Department Deputy Chief Kurt Gerfin said. "Expect for the worst and hope for the best."
Fire crews in Schenectady were called out to a fire early Wednesday evening. Gerfin said weather didn't cause the fire, but it didn't help the men and women working in the harsh weather conditions.
"You see the guys working on the roof, and they won't be doing that in another half hour or so just because of the danger," he said.
Also Wednesday night was a performance of the musical "The Book of Mormon" at Proctors Theatre, but the weather did not stop people from coming out to see the show.
Tom Salamonowicz of Bombers Burrito Bar is located across the street from the theatre. He said he was glad he was near the show because otherwise he said business would have taken a major hit.
"Usually, we'll get a rush around six o'clock starting for that because the show starts around 7:30, so we'll get about an hour and a half rush," he said. "Show gets out around 10 and then we'll get our other rush from that and then usually more of the cast and crew. So yeah, we still think a good profit for the night even though the weather's not too good."
Kyle Ferendzo of Burnt Hills was one of the few people enjoying the night on the town despite the weather. He chose to walk Wednesday night because of the conditions. He said it was a stroll he will not forget.
"It's pretty cold, really icy," he said. "It's coming down pretty hard with sleet and to walk around is pretty treacherous.

LAS VEGAS -- Metro Police narcotic officers and the federal Homeland Security agents swarmed in on a Las Vegas business at 3610 S. Highland Drive during a raid Wednesday morning.
Natalie Collins, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Attorney's Office, said agents served multiple search warrants throughout Las Vegas Wednesday.
Collins said the search warrants are sealed, but one of those search warrants targeted a sex shop business
The I-Team camera captured what appears to be the target of the raid. It looks similar to synthetic drug compounds seen in previous raids.
Neighboring businesses said they witnessed a SWAT team go in with flash-bang explosives at the start of the raid.
It is unknown how many arrests were made.
Collins said the location they raided is "a sex shop."
A few things are unclear at this hour, including how the sex shop is connected to the raid and, second, who owns the sex club.
It still has signage as the Power Exchange, but long-time owner Mike Powers said he sold the business in February.
Again, the I-Team's camera spotted what appears to be the target of the search warrant -- possible synthetic drug compounds taken out as evidence.
If that is the case, it's just a few doors down from where another synthetic drug stash was found in 2011.
Although Collins said multiple locations were involved in Wednesday's raid, the operation is being carried off with near complete secrecy and further details have not been forthcoming.
In a statement released to the media Wednesday afternoon, Metro Police said the department is conducting a joint operation with other southern Nevada law enforcement agencies. The police added that no further information was available at this time.

Responsible fisheries management took a hit today as the House Committee on Natural Resources passed a bill that threatens to undo the significant progress the United States has made in reversing the effects of decades of overfishing and making the U.S. a world leader in fisheries management. H.R. 4742, sponsored by committee chairman Doc Hastings (R-WA), would reauthorize the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), our nation's primary fisheries management law.
"Walls of death." Gillnets have often been described in this haunting way due to their devastating ability to catch all kinds of fish, as well as sea turtles, seals, dolphins, and even whales. Marine creatures of all sizes and species are indiscriminately snared and drowned in these death traps, and a recent report reveals that even birds are being killed by these sea nets. A study in the journal Biological Conservation reported that fishing vessels that deploy gillnets snare and drown at least 400,000 sea birds around the world every year. The actual figure could be even higher.

Unveiled simultaneously at the Chicago Auto Show and the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Kia took the wraps of its new Forte compact sedan.
The Forte will be offered in three trims with LX and EX models featuring a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine with 156hp and 144 ft-lbs of torque. An SX model will also be offered with a larger 2.4-liter four cylinder boasting 173hp and 168 ft-lbs of torque. This is more power than what is offered in either the top line Mazda3 or Toyota Corolla.
A five-speed manual is standard on the LX and EX with an optional four-speed automatic. We're a little disappointed to see a four-speed on a brand new cars these days but those who so choose can opt for the SX, which comes with a six-speed manual as standard an an optional five-speed automatic.
Kia will offer a Fuel Economy Package, featuring the 2.0-liter engine with a five-speed auto, motor driven power steering (as opposed to electric), low rolling resistance tires and improved aerodynamics. This will result in a class-leading 36 mpg on the highway.
LX models will be quite basic but EX and SX models will include standard power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, AC and steering-wheel mounted audio and cruise controls. A sunroof and leather seating will be optional. SX owners might just want to stick with the cloth seats, however, as Kia has equipped the Forte SX with styling red stitching.
SX models will also get plenty of other upgrades to match that red stitching, including a sport-tuned suspension, larger front brakes, a rear spoiler and 17-inch wheels with significantly sized 215/45/17 tires.
Wow.. a Kia we're actually excited to drive!
Note: At the Canadian International Auto Show, Kia also had the Koup Concept on display (first featured at least year's New York Auto Show) and according to Kia rep Sixto Fernandes, Kia will launch a new coupe in the summer and we should expect it to look very close to the concept.

Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Customers
A lesson in automated phone systems for alarm companies
I urge you to consider the positive aspects of doing away with your automated attendant. If you simply can not, try to consider ways of creating a system that will be less infuriating for your customers. Give them an option to "zero out†and instead of asking them to press 1 for English, offer them the zero to speak with a live operator. Anything we can do to create and nurture a relationship with our good customers will be extremely well received by them and create added value in doing business with any given company. This is especially true when customers call in with complaints, sales requests, or to schedule service. The perception of diligent reliability, respect for their time and for their patronage will provide you with countless rewards. This together with other aspects of the service you provide and how well you communicate with customers will make it extremely difficult for anyone to steal them or to beat you out of a new contract based on price alone.About the author:

Well, this game is certainly turning out to be much different many expected. Sure the Bucs would probably be better, but no one had any idea that they would be the "Best Team in the NFC," and probably the "Best Team in the Entire NFL" after beating the Arizona Cardinals by 3 points. The fodder and talk should be good this week as Tampa Bay Bucs head coach Raheem Morris proclaimed his team the "Best Team in the NFC" after they beat the St. Louis Rams last week and said that "stats are for losers and only wins matter" or something like that. The Falcon don't need any extra motivation to win at home, something they've done extremely well under Coach Mike Smith and playing a NFC South rival after having a bye week, but I'm sure that the coaching staff may mention once or twice this week. You have to respect the audacity that Morris exudes and if he can back it up than even more so, but the NFL isn't known for having many coaches that bluster and talk. Maybe Morris will break the trend. Six searing questions as the "Best Team in the History of the NFL Arrives", er I mean NFC………
The bye week came at a perfect time for the Falcons as their injury and nicked up list continued to grow and grow. Although not having any major injuries, the Falcons were starting to accrue a list of walking wounded. Dunta Robinson was out for the Bengals game after suffering a concussion in his massive collision with Desean Jackson. Rookie Sean Weatherspoon is having a great season and was tied for the team lead in tackles, but suffered a knee sprain in Cleveland. Thomas DeCoud went out of the Bengals game with a minor injury and did not return. Curtis Lofton has been a little slowed the last few games with a knee tweak. Backup tight end Justin Peele won't be returning, but the others should be ready to go. Even though the Falcons defense has taken their lumps, generally they have improved, become faster and more aggressive, along with definitely creating more turnovers. Will the bye week pay dividends?
Even though head coach Raheem Morris stated that "stats are for losers" when he proclaimed them to be the best in the NFC, it does give a decent snapshot on what the Bucs strengths are and if there are any weaknesses (surely not if you ask Morris). On offense, the Bucs are ranked 23rd in terms of total yards, 18th in passing yards per game, 23rd in passing TDs, 18th in rushing yards per game, and 20th in terms of rushing TDs. Morris is correct in that only wins matter and stats do not, but the Bucs offense is not necessarily unstoppable, at least according to the stats, which are for losers anyway. The Bucs rank 23rd in terms of total yards given up per game (ahead of the Falcons), 31st in run defense, 7th in pass defense, and 24th in points given up per game. Josh Freeman is obviously a very good quarterback that is having an excellent season (8 TDs, 3 INTs) and has run for 176 yards. The Bucs are getting excellent rookie seasons from wide receiver Mike Williams and LeGarrette Blount. Their pass defense is obviously their strongest point with perennial Pro Bowler Ronde Barber and former 1st round pick Aqib Talib manning the corner spots. Besides their pass defense, nothing really stands out, but wins are the only things that matter.
Have the Falcons fixed their pass defense, which was seeming to progress, but had two poor showings against the Eagles and Bengals (even though they shut them down well in the first half). Dunta Robinson and Sean Weatherspoon were assets in the pass game and maybe that's what will do it, or just the fact that they played two of the better receiving corps back-to-back. Who knows, but the Falcons can't concede 300-400 yard passing games each week and expect to win consistently. Has Mularkey finally rid himself of his comas? When Mularkey's on, then the Falcons are hard to stop, but when Mularkey resorts to the same old predictable and stale play-calling, then the Falcons look anemic. Keep the passing game going. Get Ryan involved early and often with the pass game. Keep taking the deep shots. Run the no-huddle. Use all the offensive weapons afforded. A screen pass here and there wouldn't kill us either. Maybe some more Gartrell Johnson, Michael Palmer, and Harry Douglas. Also, when the Falcons protect Ryan, he usually has a good day, so let's hope the Falcons continue giving him the time he needs.
The second year quarterback obviously has a bright future, but he is playing really well as a second year player. He has thrown 8 touchdowns coupled with only 3 interceptions with a very young receiving corps and not a superstar running back. He ranks 15th in terms of QB Rating in the entire NFL, has thrown for 1,500+ yards, has a 60% completion rating, and even has 176 yards rushing. The Falcons made him look like a future Hall of Fame QB last year in the Georgia Dome as a rookie when he torched the Birds for 250 yards passing and 2 TDs. Freeman boasts all of these stats with very young offensive weapons and without a stud running back. So much for the sophomore slump for Freeman. He's tall and very athletic, similar to Ben Roethlisberger. If the Falcons let him get hot like last year, fans could be in for a long day.
We've seen the commercials, we've seen the promos at The Dome and on the radio asking the fans to "Rise Up," so will the Falcons rise up to their own challenge? Not exactly the one that fans expected, but the Bucs are 5-2 and have won the last 5 games on the road. They are a young and talented team that obviously have plenty of confidence in themselves and definitely don't seem intimidated of anyone (even though they've lost two games by more than 20 points), and seem to be winning the close games (3 points over Cardinals and Browns and 1 point over Rams). Although the Falcons did make a statement (especially at the time) against the Saints on the road, they failed miserably when facing their other big test at Philadelphia. It is true that the Bucs are young and not necessarily a powerhouse just yet, they are tied with the Falcons for the NFC lead. Simply no other way to "Rise Up" to a challenge than when the opposing coach claims his team to be "the best team in the NFC," knowing another NFC South rival lays ahead in only two weeks with the same record.
As several season ticket holders have mentioned, fans were ready, pumped, and in their seats for the Niners and Cardinals, but definitely were slow to fill in for the Bengals game after an embarrassing loss in Philly. The crowd obviously helped the Birds jump out to a huge lead, but then got a little listless and then very antsy as the Bengals erased the Falcons lead. The Georgia Dome doesn't have the tradition of the Steelers for instance, but can definitely made life for the opposing team very difficult when they're in the game. To their credit, the fans often pump up the team and try to grab the momentum, but the Falcons play in a few quarters has been hard to scream your hearts out for (first half of Niners game and 3rd quarter of Bengals game). Don't think the fans will be hurting for this one as this one will likely receive top billing from Fox with the two teams tied for the NFC and NFC South lead. Every NFC South game is huge, but this one is shaping up to be one of the best of the season and the Falcons can use any and all help they can get. Although everyone points to the Ravens game four days later, these NFC South games mean the most in terms of a division title and playoff tiebreakers.
-Are the Bucs "the best team in the NFC"….the NFL…..in all of sports?
-Seriously, respect or disdain Raheem Morris' comments?
-How big is this game?
-Will the Bye Week provide a big advantage?
-How much have Falcons missed D-Rob and Spoon?
-What are the Bucs strengths and weaknesses?

Lets take a late night shot at D3's questions de Jour (up late sending out resumes, looking at a trainers position)–
-Are the Bucs "the best team in the NFC"….the NFL…..in all of sports? hahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaha
choke, sputter, snort–
To quote triumph the insult comic dog — "That I can Poop on"!!!
-Seriously, respect or disdain Raheem Morris' comments?
Trying to convince his team that they can maintain the momentum, and looking for an extension/raise before the bottom falls out, I suspect. But, give credit where credit is due, in a weakened parity driven league they ARE in the mix. I can buy that, he is doing his job his way.
-How big is this game?
Playing for undisputed possession of first place in the NFC South and tied for best record in the NFC?? Pretty big, I would say. And, with NO waking up and nipping at their heels (they play Carolina next week) the loser will likely be in a tie for second place with the Saints.
-Will the Bye Week provide a big advantage?
Yes in that Spoon, Dunte, and the others can heal, and hopefully come out refreshed and with a fire in the belly.
-How much have Falcons missed D-Rob and Spoon?
-What are the Bucs strengths and weaknesses?
They should be strong on D, but they had some injuries (those stud DT's they rafted were banged up last I looked). They will be highly motivated. weakness SHOULD be their O, and we should have the opportunity for some turnovers. They have been giving up a lot of yards on the ground with their injuries (100+ yard rushers each of the last few games).
-Can the Falcons pass on the Bucs good secondary?
Yes, IF we do it right (stretch the field, check off receivers that are triple covered, etc.)
-Have the Falcons fixed their issues?
I doubt it, but then I was born in Missouri, the SHOW ME state.
-Your expectations for offense: same old or turned a corner?
sadly, same old.
-How good is Freeman and can they contain him?
Good, he could break one big one.
-How big is this game?
Very, see above.
-Will the Falcons "Rise Up" to this challenge?
I think so, but it won't be easy.
-What's your take on the crowd so far this year?
wait and see attitude possibly?
-Will The Dome be rocking on Sunday?
Same same.

Uh er, if none of you just witnesssed New Orleans' win over Pittsbugh,uh, er, I don't think I'd sleep too well,if,I was in their division.Would we have beat them at home?Pittsburgh, Maybe.Would we have thrown over the middle at the end? NO,we would have tried to pound it.Kicked a field goal and lost.Beating the Bucs is not as important as beating an NFC East team like Philly.Beat Tampa,beat Carolina,beat NO,cool.Lose to AFC and NFC powers,not cool.

One more comment on Raheem Morris' comments – I can't help thinking of Tarik Aziz blustering about the mother of all battles or some such. Same result??????????????
I am in the Teddy Roosevelt camp on this sort of thing, "speak softly and carry a big stick" – Then, shove it where the sun don't shine!!
Hope Coach Smith looks like it similarly.

FPU right after we lost to Philly they got their arses handed to them by the Titans. We already beat NO in their house. Quit dwelling on the Philly loss. Bucs have beat weak teams, no problem.

The health of our defense is the key to this game. If Spoon, Decoud and Dunta are healthy we will win this game by 3 TDs. If not it will be a shootout. our pass defense must improve a lot over the way we played against the Bengals. The pass rush must put Freeman on his hinny. Abe, Beerman and Babs where are you?
I believe we will " RISE UP" to the challenge.
November 1st, 2010
12:32 am
Should Bucs beat us at home after a bye week, I will have no choice other than to agree with coach Morris that his team is the best in the NFC. However, he will be saying after his visit to the dome that the Birds are the best team in the NFL. Go Birds, rise up!

Great work as always D3…if the season ended now IMHO Raheem Morris would be coach of the year. I don't think anyone saw this coming. And yes, having the week off to heal up and get better mentally prepared is usually always a plus. Regardless of any changes made or not during the bye week I think you have to strongly favor Atlanta. This would be a really bad loss as I see it.

That Bucs @ Cards game was the game of the week. 35-38 WOW! Was fun to watch! The NFC South loser, wins the division every year. It always happens. This is the Bucs turn. Not to mention the Bucs have won more NFC South titles than any other team and a SB. This team is getting better every week. Didn't the Cards just embarrass the Saints too a few weeks back?"
November 1st, 2010
7:24 am
I think we can beat the bucks, but we have to play smart football and eliminate mistakes. They'll have their hands full with pro bowler Roddy White. The run game should be on with Turner and Snelling rested. I'm still not satisfied wth how we use Harry Douglas. He needs the ball in open space.If the defense plays solid . I don't see why we can't beat this team at home. Vangorder needs to step his game up, similar to what Greg Williams did against the Pittsburg Steelers. Although to some this game and win probally aren't significant as beating the Eagles or Pittsburg. But the bucks still have one of the best records in football. To get to the big dance you have to beat the teams with the best record. Go Falcons!
November 1st, 2010

D3, nice write up, this Bucs game is truly an unexpected big game for the Falcons especially with the Ravens to fellow. Hype or not the team was feeling good during the bye week, considering their youth and getting everyone healthy they stand 5-2. The Bucs will offer a tough test, to be followed by another tough test, win both these games and I believe the team starts to really get that they could be special, split the games and their still in great shape, but lose both these games and I see a tremendous slide along with doubt creating in, I believe if they truly went into the bye and made corrections where they were getting hurt most, that plus getting everyone back healthy could end up being the catapult that springs this team into believing their the team to beat instead of just chipping away either way sunday will be exciting.

FFL note: JJ, funny how things workout for us, if your man can come through big tonight you'll win, and if your man comes through big tonight chances are my men are too so I would come back for a win. I'm rooting bigtime for your man Shaub two teams are counting on him.

I hope the Falcon's defense makes Raheem Morris regret that he said the Bucs were the best team in the NFC. Come on VanGorder and Falcon's "D", make them remember November 7th as the day they ran into a brick wall at the GA Dome. And Ryan, Roddy, Turner and Gonzo, show them what a great offense we have. Roddy, please have a repeat performance of 11 catches, and I hope they are all for touchdowns. Somebody needs to have Mr. Morris eat his words, and the Dirty Birds are the one to do it. Come on Falcons and Falcon Nation, Let's all "RISE UP!
November 1st, 2010
9:25 am
my usual statement: We must score on our first possession.
Hoping all our starters are back for this game. Spoon, I believe, was missed more than most expected.
Hoping bye week allowed Mularkey to "open up" the play book some more..to finally get passt the run run pass punt pages.
If our O line can keep Ryan clean, we win.
If D can make sure we do not give up the big play, we win.
Freeman stat that is most worrisome is his ability for comeback win in tight games meaning we either lose by 3 or win by 14.
November 1st, 2010
10:10 am
Good morning cage. Thanks for another great post D3; here's my take:
Are the Bucs "the best team in the NFC"….the NFL…..in all of sports?
Not even the best team in the NFC South; Coach Morris forgot they got creamed at home by the Saints.
Seriously, respect or disdain Raheem Morris' comments?
Neither. Bulliten board material for the rest of the NFC.
How big is this game?
Must win. All the home games are must win.
Will the Bye Week provide a big advantage?
Yes. It shortens the injury list and nobody took a beating last weekend.
How much have Falcons missed D-Rob and Spoon?
D-Rob was missed against the Bengals. Spoon could have used 2 more game's experience; let's see how he holds up against the NFL "wall".
What are the Bucs strengths and weaknesses?
Strength: intangibles, which is dangerous for our team this week. Weakness – the defense is soft in places the Falcons are strong (run run run)
Can the Falcons pass on the Bucs good secondary?
Falcons can pass on anybody.
Have the Falcons fixed their issues?
No. There is no such thing as "fixing your issues" in the NFL.
Your expectations for offense: same old or turned a corner?
Revolves around the QB play. Matt is showing he can handle the playbook; can the coaches handle Matt with an open playbook?
How good is Freeman and can they contain him?
Freeman will get his chances. Falcons only need enough heat to get a couple of holding calls on the Buc's o-line and the Bucs will fold.
Will the Falcons "Rise Up" to this challenge?
Yes….hopefully for a full 60 minutes.
What's your take on the crowd so far this year?
LAME. I expect lame again as the crowd expects a blowout against the Bucs. If we get the blowout, we have a chance at a good crowd against the Ravens.
Will The Dome be rocking on Sunday?
Only if the results are in the home team's favor. Unfortunately this town is nearly 100% reactionary.
November 1st, 2010
10:10 am
I absolutely agree with your initial statement. It's imperative that we jump out to an early lead and never let up. If we can force them to play from behind all afternoon we'll have a much better chance of putting another "L" on the Bucs. Heaven help us if we're looking past these guys to the Ravens. The NFCSouth continues to be one of the most competitive divisions in the League and Morris really seems to have his team playing with confidence. Huge game….
November 1st, 2010
10:15 am
A little more on the home crowd: No excuses for showing up late or missing the 3rd quarter because of the bathroom lines.
This team has 3 losses in 3 years at the Dome under Mike Smith; only one loss with Ryan at QB. If that isn't good enough to get you in your seat paying attention to the game instead of where you next beer is coming from or going then you should hand your tickets to somebody that cares.

-Are the Bucs "the best team in the NFC"….the NFL…..in all of sports? C'mon man. No!
-Seriously, respect or disdain Raheem Morris' comments?
Respect it because he's trying to build his young team's confidence. You can't fault him for that–most HCs just do it in the locker room.
-How big is this game?
BIG! We have to stay in first place within the NFC South. Ultimately has an affect on homefield advantage within the playoffs. We need to do everything we can to beat this team like they stole something. We don't want to give them any confidence whatsoever in this game.
-Will the Bye Week provide a big advantage?
Only if we fixed the offense and defense issue from the first part of the season and everyone returns healthy.
-How much have Falcons missed D-Rob and Spoon?
A lot and it shows. Chris Owens is not ready to step in D-Robs spot and Spoon brings a lot of speed to the LB position. We need to pickup another CB (groom with Franks) and LB (replace Peterson) in the draft next year.
-What are the Bucs strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths: Freeman can throw an accurate deep ball, they may have a running beast in Blount, top passing defense (Ryan's affinity for Ints), get turnovers and young speedy WRs. Weaknesses: Freeman still young and we may be able to confuse him with defensive schemes, don't stop the run well, Tampa Two is vulnerable to passes up the middle of the field (TE or RB up the middle for us).
-Can the Falcons pass on the Bucs good secondary?
Yes. Throw deep early and often (watch for the underneath safety) and our TE/RB should be open up the middle.
-Have the Falcons fixed their issues?
I sure do hope so. They fix things and tend to resort to making the same mistakes later. Not consistent enough.
-Your expectations for offense: same old or turned a corner?
I hope we've turned a corner with the Bengals game. We have to come at all of our remaining opponents with a number of weapons and keep them guessing.
-How good is Freeman and can they contain him?
He is a big guy that has a lot of confidence. We have to get to him early with hurries, sacks, knock-downs to get him out of his rhythm. Lofton has to not leave any room for him to run up the middle.
-How big is this game?
Again, very big. We need to keep our lead in the NFC South on the Saints. We have to many weapons on offense not to score high on these guys. My concern is still our secondary.
-Will the Falcons "Rise Up" to this challenge?
If they want to be taken seriously as an NFC contender they'd better "Rise Up" to EVERY challenge.
-What's your take on the crowd so far this year?
They've waivered. Only cheer when we're leading, instead of making the noise level hard on our opponents. They need to be a full force with ear-deafening noise to disrupt the Bucs.
-Will The Dome be rocking on Sunday?
I say yes because our fans know how much is on the line in this game.

Morning cage –
Great comprehensive comments this morning by Front Row and Chop Buster on D3's latest instant classic analysis. I should have waited until today to post mine, tired+sleepy=mistakes unfortunately.
Some interesting comments from CBS Rapid reports from the Bay Bucks (my comments in parenthesis)-
The Bucs tied a franchise record with their fifth consecutive road victory. Buccaneers RapidReports (no need to go for six then,they already have the record).
RB LeGarrette Blount rushed 11 times for 72 yards last week, including a couple of hard-nosed runs that got the team fired up. But he's not having much success against Arizona. He has just 31 yards on 13 carries, and he had a costly fumble that gave the Cards momentum. Buccaneers RapidReports (sounds like we need to tackle the ball with this dude, might be productive)
After a shaky start, the Bucs' patchwork OL is holding up well. The Cards can't get pressure on QB Josh Freeman (zero sacks) and the Bucs offense is enjoying pretty good balance (13 runs, 16 passes). Buccaneers RapidReports (we NEED to pressure Freeman, time to step up guys, fluster Freeman, he is KILLING other teams in the 4th quarter – see the next clip)
QB Josh Freeman has now led four fourth-quarter comebacks this season and six in his 16-game career. Buccaneers RapidReports
CB Aqib Talib has been burned this season as often as he's made big plays. It's been more of the same vs. the Cards. He has a pick-6, and he just got beat on a 33-yard completion to Cards WR Steve Breaston. Buccaneers RapidReports (take note, MR,high risk high reward here)
The Bucs defense continues to force turnovers. Tampa entered the game tied for fourth in the league in INTs and already has two vs. the Cards. Both were returned for touchdowns. Buccaneers RapidReports
In each of the last four games, an opponent's running back has rushed for more than 100 yards: Pittsburgh's Rashard Mendenhall (143 yards), Cincinnati's Cedric Benson (144), New Orleans' Chris Ivory (158) and St. Louis' Steven Jackson (110). Buccaneers RapidReports
(In yesterdays game, they improved – TB: L. Blount 22 ATT 120 yds 2 TD, Ari: Beanie Wells 16 ATT 50 yds 1 TD)
November 1st, 2010
11:16 am
It should be noted in the above post that several of the Bucks posts were DURING the game, hence Blounts stats improved by the end of the game
November 1st, 2010
11:24 am
THIS can definitely be a defining moment for this team, playing a team that has won 5 road games in a row, and is tied (with the Falcons) for the best record in the NFC, AND has shown a tendency to pull games out in the 4th quarter despite stats, etc.
This game will show us a lot, along with the next game just 5 days later.
November 1st, 2010
12:27 pm
One thing is becoming increasingly clear, the NFC South is the toughest division in the NFC. The NFC east is full of pretenders.
Tampa's going to run at the falcan'ts, all day, and the bucs will preserve their unblemished road record, at least for one more week.
November 1st, 2010
12:37 pm
The Falcons win by 10 extending their home winning streak and the Bucs get exposed as pretenders.
November 1st, 2010
12:42 pm
I'm less concerned about the Bucs (I think the Falcons handle them in the GA Dome) than I am about having to come off of what will probably be a tough, emotional game and then having to turn around and play the Ravens a few days later.
November 1st, 2010
12:50 pm
Morning Cage (still mroning here) – First and foremost… ABSOLUTE MUST WIN. Don't foll yourself by saying we're 5-2, or it's only one game, etc. This is a division matchup against an inferior (that's right Rahim, I said it) team at home. Don't get caught looking ahead at Baltimore. You can lose that game all day long, but this game is how you get to the playoffs. Stay focused and beat this group of kids like you ought to. I expect the Falcons to come out after a bye and beat a team that just traveled cross country and won a close one. I expect them to dominate and win by 2 TDs or more. Big question from last week, where is the mental focus of the coaching staff and players. Do they believe they are a playoff contender???
As for the trolls from other teams, I find it saddening that you all are of such woeful existence that you must come here, erase historical fact from your tiiny mind, concoct arguements of faulty logic, and brate our Birds to make you feel better about your own personal ineptitude. SeenThisB4, we already whipped you in your own dome. The Bucs have ZERO rushing game. Even if they did, the Falcons have shut down nearly every team it's played against the run. Idiot!
November 1st, 2010
12:51 pm
Again, forget the Ravens. I don't care if we lose that game. CANNOT lose to Bucs.
November 1st, 2010
1:08 pm
I endorse Coops message.
The most important game on the schedule is the next one and that`s goes double for a divisional game.

Stats are for losers.
No, I believe it actually is, Talking is for losers.
November 1st, 2010
3:10 pm
I think Coop said it best…
I'm surprised by what the Bucs are doing, but the Falcons *MUST* beat this "group of kids" as Coop called them.
The Bucs are team on the rise and will be battling with the Falcons for the NFC South crown for years, but not this season. The Falcons can't look ahead to the big game against the Ravens, they must take care of business against the Bucs.
If the Falcons get to 6-2, and I'm expecting them to, we'll be sitting pretty for a week or so until we play those Ravens on primetime Thursday night football…
November 1st, 2010
3:12 pm
And Kushion, good find.
I didn't believe you when you posted it, but foxsports.com is reporting that Moss has been waived.
Back to NE?
November 1st, 2010
3:14 pm
I believe this game is on Mularky's back. If he lets the offense play, we should be able to beat the Bucs like NO did and the NFC South will still be between 2 teams. Atl. & NO. If he does like he has in so many games, it will be a toss up. What a shame we have to wonder which offense will show for the next game.
Kushion – what's the deal on Moss. I wouldn't mind getting him. He behaved pretty good in NE. He seems to be very dissappointed in the trade to a 2-5 team. I don't blame him.
November 1st, 2010
3:15 pm
We're going up against a team we are very familiar with while coming off of a bye week and will be playing at home and everyone should be healthy. Oh and the winner leads the division AND we have bulletin board material supplied by jaheem norris. NO EXCUSES!!!!
November 1st, 2010
3:16 pm
This just became a Really Must Win game. Saints are nipping at our heels and I just took a look at their schedule: They get to play the PANTHERS next ugggg…
November 1st, 2010
3:18 pm
Lack of effort and the idiotic post game comments by Moss surely did not help.
November 1st, 2010
3:18 pm
PlanB – he ran his mouth last night about how much he missed being a Patriot and wished he still was… ON TV no less.
November 1st, 2010
3:21 pm
I'll be LMAO if the Pats get Moss back…
They ended up getting a 3rd rounder when they traded him…
And then they get Moss back…
Seriously, that's hilarious.
Good business.
November 1st, 2010
3:22 pm
Moss obviously wanted out of Minnesota.
November 1st, 2010
3:24 pm
Pats will have to wait it out till basically every other team gets a chance to claim Moss…
November 1st, 2010
3:24 pm
The Rams probably could snatch him off waivers before anyone I think.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences v. GoDaddy
You've probably seen the GoDaddy "parked" sites before; they feature the infamous logo and ads related to the domain name. What you may not know, though, is that the people who own those domains, if they're enrolled in the registrar's "CashParking" program, earn revenues off those ads. So in theory, if you purchase the right URL, ad revenues from these undeveloped sites can be impressive.
That's probably why some enterprising online marketer purchased the domains oscarlist.com and oscarliveblogging.com. During Oscar season, those terms are searched frequently, which translates to significant online ad revenues.
But the Academy isn't thrilled with GoDaddy's program. They feel the hosting company is unfairly infringing on their online intellectual property rights by profiting off these "parked" sites.
So how does Google factor in? Both GoDaddy and AMPAS are pointing fingers, saying that Google's AdSense program is the real issue. AMPAS says they need to examine Google's program to see if the company takes precautions against intellectual property infringement, in addition to the revenue share calculations. GoDaddy, on the other hand, is trying to build an Anti-Cybersquatting Protection Act defense by arguing that Google is "solely responsible" for any inappropriate domain profit gain.
Despite the wishes of AMPAS and GoDaddy, Paul Grewal – a U.S. magistrate judge – ruled the Google discovery requests would be "burdensome" since the company deals with nearly 10,000 third-party discovery demands. Specifically, the judge reasoned:
"AMPAS has not shown that the 4,000 pages of documents Google already produced does not provide the information it needs or why at least some of the additional discovery it wants was not obtained from GoDaddy or public sources."
Bad Faith Intent To Profit In Cybersquatting Lawsuit
The crux of the AMPAS v. GoDaddy lawsuit is whether or not GoDaddy engaged in a program with a "bad faith intent to profit." In online intellectual property cases, it's usually not enough to say that someone is inappropriately using a questionable domain (though, there are exceptions). Plaintiffs in such cases need to prove that the defendant is somehow profiting off the alleged infringement.
Now, there are many ways an attorney can argue profit loss, or potential profit loss, so it's important to find a lawyer who has experience with Internet copyright litigation.

I am so lucky to have had opportunities to meet inspiring people who have dedicated their lives to public interest. These people believe strongly in the capacities of the weak, and they work to protect earth rights. One of the most inspiring people is my senior colleague, Ms. Supaporn Malailoy or P'Noo.
P'Noo was one of the establishers of EnLAWTHAI foundation. EnLAWTHAI was founded in 2001 with a mission to monitor and enhance positive environmental law as well as to strengthen industrial affected communities through providing legal training, promoting environmental campaigns, and being a representative in environmental lawsuits. As a general manager, P'Noo is still a key figure in the foundation.
P'Noo has given me invaluable inspiration and ambition. I collaborated with her as a junior lawyer at the organization for three years. Even though she did not graduate from law school, she has tried her best to learn complicated legal issues through her work experiences. For me, P'Noo is a strong woman who sacrifices her life for communities all day and night. She never turns her phone off because she is worried that villagers might face some urgent situations and need her help. Her schedule is always full of meetings with local communities and networks. She told me that she always feels uncomfortable denying villagers' requirements because when they ask her, they are in severe trouble, and hope that she can solve their problems.
P'Noo strongly believes that local people (almost all are farmers) play an essential role in protecting the environment. She does not want to block all development, but she thinks that local people know their area best. Thus, they must have the right to decide how it is developed.
Even though I left the foundation a year ago, P'Noo's devotion and determination still inspire me to . . .
There are many earth rights defenders in Vietnam who support others in the face of human rights violations and environmental issues. Some of them work in government agencies and some work in non-governmental organizations (NGOs). However, high-level government officials do not care about their responsibility to protect their people from harm. The people working in NGOs make the greatest impact.
My director, Ms. Lam Thi Thu Suu, has a genuine enthusiasm for earth rights. Ms. Suu made me recognize that human rights and environmental protection are important to social development.
When I graduated from university in 2011 I did not care much about human rights and environmental issues. The first time I met Ms. Suu was when she accepted me as a volunteer in her organization. At the time, it was just a job. Four months later, I found that I really liked my work. Ms. Suu lit a fire under me through her boundless enthusiasm on human rights and environmental protection. She goes to the communities and talks to the women for hours on women's rights, even when she is tired. After she goes to the communities, she continues to work with stakeholders at home and with foreign countries to call for support for the communities. Sometimes she does not have time for her husband or her two children.
Ms. Suu's effort has been recognized by many people and organizations. Now, many people support the communities where she works.
I will do my best to help the communities get their rights. I will also get more knowledge about the environment to protect my community and environment from the impacts of development. Although there are many difficulties to achieving great success, if I make a sustained effort, I will succeed. . . .
I remember Paul Hoffman sitting outside the 11th Circuit courtroom in April, waiting for his turn to argue his case. His case is the case of four thousand Colombians victimized by the paramilitaries paid by Chiquita, the banana company. His indignation is the pain and suffering of four thousand Colombians, his voice echoes their strength.
Hoffman is a man with a great heart and sense of humor. "You are obviously overdressed," he told me in the lobby of a hotel in Miami, where we met one day before the arguments for Chiquita. Later that day he would tell Rick Herz, Litigation Coordinator at ERI, "he did not receive the memo about the dress code." In my defense, I forgot to bring my shorts to Miami.
Hoffman and Herz were there to defend the Colombian victims. They wanted to make everybody understand that the massacres aided by Chiquita do "touch and concern the territory of the United States… with sufficient force to displace the presumption against extraterritorial application," as the Supreme Court required in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum.
Helping them was the least I could do. It has been absolutely inspiring to see how their idea of justice drives them in fighting this battle. Hoffman and all the attorneys representing the Colombian victims have come to understand that this is their cause, too, even if they haven't seen victims displaced by violence in Colombia with their own eyes, as I have, and as ERI's lawyers have. Truly, it was not necessary for them to witness such lack of fairness in order to understand that this is a fight in the name of justice.
In addition to answering questions on Colombian law for Chiquita, I was also privileged to coordinate the draft of an . . .
The way modern society has developed has led to an unfortunate state of affairs where environmental protection and social benefits are often seen as competing interests which have to be balanced against one another. However, as the mission of EarthRights so clearly implies, in many cases environmental law and human rights law go hand in hand. As Marissa emphatically reminded us at a recent meeting, environmental rights are human rights!
The ongoing concern surrounding the development of hydropower on the Mekong River in Southeast Asia is a perfect example of the undeniable link between human and environmental rights. The Mekong River offers vital life support to 65 million people living in the region. It is also home to over one thousand species and is second only to the Amazon River in terms of biodiversity. Its rich biodiversity includes the giant catfish , which can reach up to 10(!) feet in length and the Irrawaddy Dolphin , just to name a few.
Unfortunately, corporations and governments also see it as a prime location for hydropower mega-dams. While some might see this situation as the classic tension between social and environmental benefit, it really isn't. Instead, it is much more an example of the increasingly frequent struggle between human and environmental rights on one side and corporations and governments on the other.
Local and international groups including human rights and environmental NGOs have been working together to use various means in an attempt to ensure that these mega-dam projects do not go forward unless they have taken into account and properly addressed the social and environmental costs of the dams.
One result of these efforts was a complaint to the Finnish National Contact Point (NCP) for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The complaint, filed last year, was about . . .
Two weeks ago, I traveled with another ERI legal intern from Washington, DC, to New York City to watch ERI's Rick Herz argue for justice for the residents of Bhopal, India, at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. ERI represents these plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Union Carbide for its part in creating a faulty waste disposal system that polluted the water of thousands of people. Rick was urging the panel to reverse the trial court's dismissal of the case.
Bhopal has become famous as the site of the 1984 toxic gas leak that claimed the lives of over 5,000 Indian citizens. Almost 30 years later, the community is still plagued by toxic waste seeping into the groundwater and poisoning local water supplies. The extensive contamination is causing birth defects, neurological disorders, and increased cancer rates in the area.
From a law student's perspective it is a rare and exciting opportunity just to be in a Second Circuit courtroom, listening to well-crafted arguments and the concerns of highly regarded judges. But it was also particularly enriching on a personal level. Human rights and environmental protection are the precise issues that brought me to law school. Getting the chance to sit in and observe the arguments in an important case concerning corporate liability for harms felt in Bhopal was an invaluable learning experience.
During the four-hour bus ride, we scrambled to put together copies of every case cited in the briefs into a binder, flagged specific pages cited with tabs, and highlighted quoted text, just in case Rick would need it during his argument. Papers, highlighters, binders, and red, green, and blue tabs were everywhere and we definitely drew a few curious stares from fellow travelers as we awkwardly negotiated the narrow space on the bus. . . .
A few weeks ago, Cook and I observed a consultation between Sor Rattanamanee Polkla, a Thai lawyer, and representatives from 8 communities (Chiang Rai, Loei, Nongkhai, Buangkarn, Nakonpanom, Mookdaharn, Aumnatcharoen and Ubon Rachthani), to discuss next steps in their fight against the controversial Xayaburi dam in Lao PDR. Last August, on behalf of the 8 communities, Sor filed a case in the Administrative Court of Thailand challenging the validity of the power purchase agreement between the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), the buyer, and the Xayaburi Power Company Limited, the operator. The power purchase agreement is driving the construction of the Xayaburi dam, which, if completed, will very likely impact and threaten the livelihoods of these downstream communities.
Sor has extensive experience working closely with communities in advocating for their rights. As Cook previously wrote, in conducting several community consultations during the course of this case, Sor is trying to use the Mekong River Commission's Procedures for Notification Prior Consultation and Agreement (PNPCA), procedures that the National Energy Policy Council, Thai Cabinet, and EGAT shirked when signing and approving the power purchase agreement.
Disappointingly, the Administrative Court of Thailand recently denied jurisdiction to hear the communities' case, prompting this most recent urgent community consultation. The administrative court based its decision on three grounds:
Nevertheless, this is not the . . .
This summer I traded in the hot heat of a Washington, DC summer for the winter months in Lima, Peru. For my first law school internship I joined EarthRights International and the four-person (plus two interns) team in the Amazon Office.
At the end of two months I had taken a trip to the jungle to interview potential clients, helped plan and coordinate a month-long training for indigenous leaders, learned from other Peruvian attorneys about impact litigation in the region, supported the research needs of the Peru and Washington D.C. office and reinforced my commitment to human rights.
The day-to-day in the life of an ERI Amazon Office Intern is varied. Some days Amanda (my fellow friendly intern) and I were busy coordinating speakers for the Amazon School for Human Rights that was taking place in late August. Other days we were pulled into meetings with local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) or with Peruvian attorneys who also work on human rights issue.

ERI's Amazon office in Peru is only a year old, so there is still coalition-building to be done and other advocates to learn from who are already active on human rights issue in the region. In between coordinating speakers and meeting with other advocates, Amanda and I each focused on our individual legal research projects.
While Amanda was researching the legal norms applicable to indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation, I was busy exploring limits on civil remedies in U.S. courts for oil contamination in the Amazon. In the process, I was able to learn . . .
Last week, as the Kiobel case was being argued inside the Supreme Court, and many of ERI's attorneys were sitting inside listening to oral arguments, I stood outside holding a sign that read, "Corporate Torture is Still Torture."
As a law student, I would have loved to be sitting in that court room, listening to the caustic banter between Shell's attorney, Kathleen Sullivan, and the nine Justices. But as an activist, I was so proud to be standing outside, with ERI and other activists, rallying for something in which I so strongly believe: that U.S. courts should provide a forum to everyone, no matter their national origin, to pursue justice for the most heinous of international human rights violations, including torture, murder, and rape.
Nonetheless, as I helped with the vigil ERI had organized, I waited impatiently for the attorneys to emerge. As I handed out brightly colored signs with #ShameOnShell emblazoned across them, I could not stop thinking about what was happening inside. I was so anxious.
Human rights advocates rally outside the Supreme Court on Oct 1, 2012
Although I only began interning at ERI a month ago, I have long been following their work. In fact, ERI and others' groundbreaking work with the Alien Tort Statute was one of the primary reasons I decided to go to law school. Rallying outside the Court, I was acutely aware of the tireless labor by ERI and others, over three decades of ATS human rights cases, and I struggled with the thought of all of that being taken away. I knew that a . . .
Whether they are dancing to the "Cha Cha Slide", laughing until it hurts, or eating delicious Burmese tea leaf salad, the 17 students at HEART seem just like young adults from any other country. You would never guess that most have lived in refugee camps for over half their lives, due to the greed of corporations and the violence of government security forces. You would never know that some have been coerced by the military to do backbreaking labor without any compensation. These human rights abuses and numerous others have become normalized to them, and everyone they know has been affected by the same mistreatment and lived under the same circumstances. All of these students, their parents, and their grandparents have dealt with human rights abuses. Now, these students are dedicated to making certain that their children do not have to suffer as well.
After two months at HEART, I have learned that every student has a story. Though I have studied human rights for three years at university, hearing these stories firsthand has changed how I perceive these abuses. No longer are they words on a page, a paragraph in a report, or an interview in a documentary. They have come to life in the eyes of a friend, the emotion of a speech, and the passion of a presentation. Descriptions of human rights violations are no longer merely words, but are real experiences felt by real people. While the students act like everything is fine most of the time, the truth is that they have been victims of forced labor, discrimination, forced relocation, unequal education opportunities, and more. These students have worked hard and endured a lot to get where they are today.

EarthRights International (ERI), along with lawyers from Goulston & Storrs, filed a motion for summary judgment yesterday on behalf of Oxfam America in its case against the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). When Congress enacted Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act in July 2010, it gave the SEC 270 days to issue final rules governing the disclosure of payments made by extractive companies. Section 1504, and the implementing rules, are critical to combating the corruption and waste that too often results when such payments remain secret.
Although the SEC published proposed rules to implement Section 1504 on December 15, 2010, it has missed the statutory deadline to adopt final binding rules. When Oxfam America filed its lawsuit alleging undue delay in issuing the rules in May 2012, the SEC was more than a year past that deadline. The motion filed yesterday asks the court to recognize that the SEC illegally withheld promulgation of the rules as a matter of law.
The SEC is scheduled to vote on final rules next Wednesday, August 22. If they do not adopt rules at that time, ERI is confident that, as a result of our suit, the Court will order them to do so.
If they do adopt rules, our focus will shift to whether those rules implement Congress' intent. After Section 1504 was passed and the SEC solicited public comments, a debate of sorts emerged among the commenters from NGOs, business, academics, and other experts. Industry has sought to eviscerate the law by advocating for rules with a variety of loopholes. ERI, along with Oxfam America, fellow members of the Publish What You Pay (PWYP) coalition, and other NGOs, has advocated for the adoption of rules that:
