Building project costs labeled 'eye-popping'
MONTPELIER — The space is being called gorgeous, but the cost "eye-popping." Vermont lawmakers are applying those terms to office space at the National Life building in Montpelier that has been renovated to house the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and other state agencies.
Members of the House Institutions Committee say they were given a rough estimate last year that the project to move the Natural Resources Agency into the building that already housed the transportation and commerce agencies would cost around $2 million.
The more recent estimate? $8.65 million.
Now members of the House Institutions Committee are looking at ways to avoid similar surprises in the future.MORE IN This Just In

Severina a été très compréhensive puisque nous avons changé plusieurs fois nos dates de séjour, elle est venue nous chercher à Bevagna, à quelques minutes de son agriturismo, située au milieu des chataigniers, au calme. La maison en pierre est très belle, le jardin n'est pas très grand mais joli, et la piscine est de taille convenable. Severina nous a fait goûter son vin Sagrantino, à essayer! Severina est une hôte gentille et qui nous proposait chaque jour de nous informer des festivités aux alentours. Le village de Bevagna à quelques minutes est absolument superbe, avec énormément de charme.
Elle nous a laissé un immense appartement à l'étage.
I've booked for me and 3 other friends last minute to visit Bevagna for its 'Mercato della Gaite'.
We've been lucky enough Severina had a spare apartment: the old farmhouse and its surroundings are beautiful and the rooms have been nicely refurbished and decorated - you also have at your disposal a nice little pool and 2 mountain bikes. It is also at a short distance from Bevagna - which is rich with good restaurants.
Severina also arranged for breakfast which we had in the garden - she is a very friendly person - we will be back as soon as we can for sure.

Intimidating head on view of an F-16
I wouldn't want to stand in front of a fighter jet like this or see one in my rear view for fear of soiling my pants. The F-16 is just on the ground and undergoing pre-flight inspection and it still has such a commanding presence. Killer machine birds. »

Emirates has had a long-standing relationship with the Dubai Tennis Championships, also known as the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, since the tournament's inception in 1993. The annual tournament is played on the hard courts of the Dubai Tennis Stadium which has been voted "Best Venue" by players on the ATP World Tour for three consecutive years. It was only in 2001 the women's Dubai Tennis Championships was added to the overall event schedule.
The two-week Dubai Tennis Championships is hosted in late February/early March with the first week being the women's tournament and the second week the men's tournament. The Dubai Tennis Championships is an important event for the elite tennis players with it holding a Masters 500 status on the ATP Tour and a Premier Event on the WTA Tour.
Since the start of the 2000's, the Dubai Tennis Championships has been dominated by a few names in both the men's and women's game. Swiss Roger Federer has amassed five titles – most recently in 2012 – while Serbian Novak Djokovic has won three. On the women's side Belgian Justine Henin has secured four Dubai Tennis Championships titles and American Venus Williams a double.

Although China now has one of the largest government bond markets in the world, the market has received relatively little attention and analysis. We describe the history and structure of the market and assess its functioning. We find that trading in individual bonds was historically sparse but has increased markedly in recent years. We find also that certain announcements of macroeconomic news, such as China's producer price index (PPI) and manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI), have significant effects on yields, even when such yields are measured at a daily level. Despite the increased activity in the market, we are able to reject the null hypothesis of market efficiency under two different tests for four of the most actively traded bonds.

A convicted drug dealer will be held in jail without bond until his next hearing on a suspected probation violation.
Elyria-area resident Scott M. Parsons, 25, is accused of testing positive for opiates and oxycodone, Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Daivia Kasper said.
"He admitted to using illegal drugs to his probation officer," Kasper told Huron County Common Pleas Judge Jim Conway.
Parsons admitted Monday there was probable cause for the suspected probation violations.
At the request of the state, Conway ordered the defendant be held without bond until his April 1 hearing. Parsons was out on bond before Monday's hearing.
This isn't the first time Parsons reportedly violated his community controls sanction.
In mid-June, he volunteered to complete a four- to six-month term in a locked-down, substance abuse treatment facility. At the time, Parsons had an unspecified case pending in Lorain County.
His local underlying conviction is trafficking in marijuana.
Parsons earlier told the Reflector he didn't sell any marijuana during the Jan. 9, 2010 incident.
"I've never sold drugs in my life," he said.
In September 2010, the court ordered Parsons to report to the Huron County Jail to serve a 60-day sentence on the work release program. In addition to a $250 fine, he had his driver's license suspended for six months.

NEW YORK | A tweet containing computer code has propagated itself through Twitter by taking advantage of a security flaw in the company's TweetDeck application.
In response, Twitter shut down the application's access to tweets for about an hour Wednesday while fixing the problem.
The tweet was automatically "retweeted," or sent out again, when processed by TweetDeck, a computer application for Twitter's power users. Affected tweeters saw pop-up windows on their screens. The tweet was retweeted tens of thousands of times.
LAS VEGAS — T-Mobile US Inc., the country's fourth-largest wireless carrier, is aiming to lure subscribers from rivals by paying the fees required to break their service contracts.
NEW YORK — You have a cellphone, maybe a tablet. Sometimes you lug around a laptop. Do you really need one more gadget on you?
Yes, you do. You need a smart watch. At least, that's what I learned after I got the Pebble, a $150 watch that connects wirelessly to iPhones and Android smartphones to notify you of incoming calls, texts and emails.
The Pebble has a lot of rough edges, but it does a good job of demonstrating the potential of "wearable" computing. Apple has filed patents that demonstrate it's working on a watch, and other "smart" watches are proliferating.
MANTOLOKING, N.J. — Robert Post misses his phone line.
Post, 85, has a pacemaker that needs to be checked once a month by phone. But the copper wiring that once connected his home to the rest of the world is gone, and the phone company refuses to restore it.
NEW YORK — Samsung is expanding its lineup of tablet computers and making them look more like its Galaxy smartphones, as it hopes to translate its success in phones to the tablet market, where Apple is dominant.
Samsung Electronics Co., the second-largest maker of tablets after Apple, on Monday said it is putting three new tablets in the Galaxy Tab 3 series on sale in the U.S. on July 7. The cheapest, a $199 device, will have a screen that measures 7 inches diagonally. An 8-inch model will go for $299 and a 10-inch one for $399.
NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T is extending from 20 months to 24 months the time it takes for customers on contract-based plans to earn a fully subsidized upgrade to a new phone.
The move announced Sunday follows an identical one by Verizon Wireless in April. AT&T Inc.'s new policy applies to any customer whose contract expires in March 2014 or later.
NEW YORK — Americans are saying CUL8TR to text messaging, a wireless industry group says, as Internet-based applications such as Apple's Messages are starting to take over from what was once a cash cow for phone companies.
CTIA — The Wireless Association says Americans sent 2.2 trillion text messages last year, down 5 percent from 2011. That's still 19 text messages per person per day.
NEW YORK — Apple is opening the doors to its bank vault, saying it will distribute $100 billion in cash to its shareholders by the end of 2015. At the same time, the company said revenue for the current quarter could fall from the year before, which would be the first decline in many years.
Apple CEO Tim Cook also suggested that the company won't release any new products until the fall, contrary to expectations that there would be a new iPhone and iPads out this summer.
NEW YORK — Apple is seeking a patent for an iPhone that has a display that wraps around the edges of the device, expanding the viewable area and eliminating all physical buttons.
NEW YORK — T-Mobile USA on Tuesday said it will start offering the iPhone on April 12, filling what its CEO said was "a huge void" in its phone lineup.
T-Mobile, the fourth-largest of the national U.S. phone companies, has been losing customers to the bigger companies, which all sell the iPhone.
"This is a big deal for us," T-Mobile CEO John Legere said at an event in New York.

Red's to open Cape Coral location
Red's Fresh Seafood House & Tavern owners Bud and Mary LoCicero, along with General Manager Craig Lewis, have purchased a restaurant in Cape Coral and plan to open a second Red's location in the space by October.
Located at 850 Lafayette Street, just south of Cape Coral Parkway, the space was formerly occupied by the River Palm Family Restaurant & Bar, Mr. C's, Oasis and Eight Fifty.
"This is a great property, and we know we will have great success in this location," said Bud LoCicero. "This new site will mirror our Pine Island location's menu, quality and friendly customer service. We are very excited to be able to bring Red's to Cape Coral and can't wait to open and welcome our Cape neighbors."
The LoCiceros have a long tenure in the restaurant industry. Prior to opening Red's, the couple owned and operated a number of restaurants and seafood markets on Sanibel, in Fort Myers and Massachusetts.
Red's opened on Pine Island in 2005 and is well known for its always fresh, never frozen seafood. While seafood is Red's main feature, its menu also offers ribs, steak, chicken, salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, burritos and more.
The new Cape location features 7,100 square-feet with two dining rooms and seating for more than 200 and 60 parking spots. The facility is larger than Red's current Pine Island location and includes a spacious outside sports bar and patio dining area.
"We are currently painting, restructuring and enhancing the interior space," said Lewis. "With the additional space, we are looking at possibly adding outdoor and indoor entertainment and late-night dining options as well as group functions and private events."
Red's current location at 10880 Stringfellow Road on Pine Island is just minutes from Cape Coral.
"Now we will have two convenient locations for Southwest Florida to experience the highest quality seafood, steaks and more," said Bud LoCicero.
A job fair to prepare for staffing the new location will be held this Saturday, Sept. 14 at the new Cape location from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"We have already had a lot of people stop in to inquire about applying," Lewis said. "Being able to create more jobs for Southwest Florida residents is a win-win."
Red's is open for dinner seven days a week: Sunday through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m. An extensive wine menu and full bar are also available. Reservations are not accepted.

OK, so we don't have Vinny Testaverde, Aaron Brooks and Eli Manning to kick around anymore.
We're going to keep on having fun, anyway.
In fact, now that we've done away with the regular-season preliminaries and the first-round playoff matchups are set, the fun gets serious. Like, that seriously tasty matchup next Sunday afternoon between Mr. Reliable (that'd be Peyton Manning) and Mr. Inexplicable (uhh, no names, but his initials are Jake the Flake ... er, Snake).
Yes, it's time for a little game of Wheel of Playoff Fortune with Snap Judgment's favorite quarterbacks. So buckle up. The spin we put on the next five weeks of football is going to be so fast and so furious that Vanna White and her vowels will be begging for mercy by the time we get to the Super Bowl.
So which quarterback will walk off the field on Feb. 6 as the next Super Bowl winner? Snap Judgment's experts think they know.
|QB most likely to be Super Bowl MVP:
|Tom Brady
|Ben Roethlisberger
|Tom Brady
|Tom Brady
|Tom Brady, again
|QB who will throw the most INTs in a playoff game:
|Matt Hasselbeck/Marc Bulger
|Michael Vick
|Jake Plummer
|Matt Hasselbeck
|Marc Bulger
|Stay-at-home QB you'd have liked to watch in the playoffs:
|Trent Green
|Drew Bledsoe. Was in the act of redeeming himself
|Byron Leftwich
|Drew Bledsoe, because he came packaged with Willis McGahee
|Jake Delhomme
|Favre or Culpepper:
|Culpepper indoors; Favre out
|Favre, by a field goal
|Hasslebeck or Bulger:
|Second-round pick and a conditional six-pack of Corona
|Hasselbeck at home
|Brees or Pennington:
|Pennington, and the privilege is all mine
|Chad "this-is-not-a-right" Pennington
|Brees by a monsoon
|Jake Plummer's stats against the Colts:
|Zero wins, one loss. The rest is irrelevant
|4 bootlegs, 3 picks, 1 middle finger, $25,000 in fines.
|One behind-the-back pass for six yards
|300-plus yards, three TDs, one killer interception
|Number of TDs Manning throws in the playoffs:
|Six (four vs. Broncos)
|Six, in two games
|Four vs. Denver, two in second-round loss
|Jim Sorgi, Matt Schaub or Sage Rosenfels:
|I'll take Jim J. Bullock to block!
|Matt Schaub. Sounds like a good dependable accountant
|Sage. Sounds wise.
|I saw Sage Rosenfels open for Pete Seeger once. He rocked
First down: Tell us why or why not we'll be seeing Peyton Manning playing in the Super Bowl this season.
Eric Neel: We won't see him there, I'm afraid. It's not because he dreams horrid, surreal dreams about the evil Dr. Belichick and his cyborg army of eight-armed defenders, though it's probably true that he does. It's not because it'll be cold and windy outside in New England, though it probably will be and that won't help. And it's not because the Colts don't defend well enough, though they don't. It's because the Patriots do. Defend well enough. Defend real well, in fact. And that'll be the difference.
Alan Grant: We won't be seeing Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl because the Colts have a poor defense. I'm sorry. I know I'm supposed to say something along the lines of this: Manning doesn't have what it takes to win the one that counts. Perhaps that's true for Greg Norman or the Democrats, but not Peyton Manning. The guy is a great quarterback. But the Colts defense, though immensely improved, is neither swift, nor deep enough, to be a Super Bowl team.
Patrick Hruby: You'll see Manning in the Super Bowl because the Colts are averaging 56 points a game and the only combinations more dangerous than Peyton-to-Marvin are Peyton-to-Randy and Peyton-to-Terrell. Of course, I'm referring to my ESPN NFL 2k5 franchise (fleecing the CPU on trades never gets old. Owens for Brandon Stokley and a third-round pick? Uh, yes).
In the real world, Manning will be hard-pressed to reach the perennial advertising extravaganza -- and by hard-pressed, I mean Wile E. Coyote, flattened by an anvil. Why? Soft defense. New England and Pittsburgh aren't as explosive as Indy, but they're far more balanced. Both clubs can win by shutting opponents down; the Colts, to put it in basketball terms, want to run the other guys out of the gym. And we all saw what happened when the Phoenix Suns ran into the San Antonio Spurs last week. (OK, in case you were watching the Insight Bowl, and if you were, our condolences: the defense-minded Spurs crushed the run n' gun Suns). Until proven otherwise, the Colts are a one-trick pony. And I will never, ever resort to such eye-bleedingly bad punnery again, particularly since Mike Mularkey won't be coaching in the playoffs. Sniff.
Skip Bayless: Peyton won't be playing in the Super Bowl because he and his team will not be able to win at New England and/or Pittsburgh. He'll survive a shootout at home against Denver, but his defense isn't strong enough to keep New England or Pittsburgh from keeping Peyton on the sideline by playing keepaway and controlling the clock. That defense could camouflage its flaws against mediocre teams by making interceptions and fumble recoveries, which led to an NFL-leading plus-19 turnover ratio. But the two teams blocking Indy's road to the Super Bowl are too efficient with their power running games and ball-control passing to fall into that trap.
And smart, physical defenses can knock Peyton's receivers off their routes and disrupt timing, especially outdoors in the cold. No defense disguises its pre-snap intentions more craftily than Belichick's Patriots. The Patriots and Steelers will also be able to explose Peyton's one weakness by generating constant pressure with blitzing or penetrating. He isn't even as athletic as his little brother. Hence, he won't be able to buy time or scramble and make The Play with a road playoff game on the line.
Aaron Schatz: I actually do think the Colts have a good enough defense to make the Super Bowl. It isn't the best defense in the league; it isn't as good as the defenses in Pittsburgh or New England or even San Diego. But it is good enough to win a Super Bowl when combined with the awesome power of the Colts offense. Or it would be good enough if they managed to play the entire playoffs indoors.
That's the reason the Colts won't make it all the way. Unless the Jets or Chargers can shock Pittsburgh, the Colts are going to have to overcome the bye week advantage and two games in cold weather against teams built to play in cold weather. Remember last year's playoffs?How about last year's narrow 17-14 victory against a Buffalo team that finished 6-10? Or Jets 41, Colts 0 from the 2001 playoffs? The Colts could overcome the weather against a team that was clearly inferior, but I just don't see them doing it two straight weeks against two teams that are just as good as they are, if not better.
Second down: Aside from McNabb, which NFC QB is most likely to carry his mediocre team all the way to the Super Bowl?
Skip Bayless: I'm not sure Atlanta qualifies as mediocre in the embarrassingly mediocre NFC. But without Michael Vick making video-game escapes, the Falcons would have looked seriously mediocre this season and would have no Super Bowl shot.
That's why it made no sense for Jim Mora to play Vick in Seattle -- and why it was no surprise that Vick soon complained of numbness in his left arm and hand. He took some of the worst spills this season that you'll ever see a quarterback take, and he took as much punishment at home against Carolina as I've seen a quarterback withstand in a long while. Though he pulled off the score-or-else, 12-yard scramble that won the game, he banged up his left shoulder. It needed three full weeks of healing. Without Vick, this is just another No Factor Conference team.
Alan Grant: The one who's been there and done that is the man most likely to lead. And this is a pleasure for him because it is a game. And all games are meant to be fun. So he enjoys plying those around him with both evidence of his observations and ample portions of his knowledge -- even those who dare not ask him for it. As a result, his teammates are made better, and he is secure in his role, regardless how small. He's secure because he's been hit, and hit hard by the cycle of life. This, coupled with an array of skills, grants him perspective and makes the game, even a pressure-packed playoff game, an oddly sweet distraction. I'm talking about Brett Favre.
Jeff Merron: Literally speaking, Vick is the only QB that can carry his team to the Super Bowl. But that's not what you mean, is it? Favre can lead the Packers to the Super Bowl, because he's got Ahman Green and Javon Walker and Minnie Driver and a slew of other options. Simply put, even at 35, Favre at his best is better than Vick or Culpepper at their best.
Patrick Hruby: Time out. I'm throwing a flag. This has to be the most irrelevant, least-compelling question of the year. Why not just have a Snap Judgment celebrity who-will-say-something-stupid pool while we're at it? (Dibs on Nicole Richie).
Speaking of Richie, why not ask if Kobe Bryant will somehow guide the Los Angeles Lakers to a No. 8 playoff seed, just so we can watch him take 35 stupid, triple-teamed shots a game in a first-round sweep? To put things more succinctly: Who cares?
The NFC is dreadful. Just dreadful. As bad as the late '80s-early '90s AFC, when Denver seemingly got punked in every other Super Bowl. In college football, a .500 record won't even get you into the Continental Tire Bowl. No way it should get you into the NFL playoffs, especially if you can't top the oh-so-toppable Washington Redskins on the final day of the season.
I guess I'll go with Brett Favre on experience and Mike Vick on game-breaking talent. But I'm holding my nose as I type this, which is no mean feat since it takes two hands to punch a keyboard. (That said, you should definitely tune in to the St. Louis-Seattle wild-card game on ABC, ESPN's mother network and home to quality, must-watch hits like "According to Jim." Pay extra-close attention to the commercials; if you're a Nielsen household, make sure your ratings box is in good working order. Personally, I wouldn't miss Rams-Seahawks for a month's worth of freelance checks. And whaddya know? I think there's one in my mailbox right now.)
Aaron Schatz: Ugh. After all the bad stuff I said about his passing last week, this will sound strange, but the answer is Michael Vick. You never know when he'll just pull off that crazy scramble to win a close contest, and the Packers and Eagles have major issues taking down runners who get past the front seven.
By Aaron Schatz, footballoutsiders.com
|1. Peyton Manning
336/497, 4557 yards
9.2 YPA, 49 TDs, 10 INT
|Without a doubt, the MVP. Just remember: the Lombardi goes to the most valuable 45 players, not the most valuable single player.
|2. Daunte Culpepper
379/548, 4717 yards
8.6 YPA, 39 TDs, 11 INT
|The biggest difference between Manning and Culpepper was not the touchdowns but sacks. Both play behind strong lines, but Culpepper was sacked 45 times, Manning only 13.
|3. Donovan McNabb
300/469, 3875 yards
8.3 YPA, 31 TDs, 8 INT
|In the playoffs, will his performance return to pre-T.O. levels, when only his scrambling made him more valuable than Tommy Maddox or Brad Johnson?
|40. Jay Fiedler
101/190, 1186 yards
6.2 YPA, 7 TDs, 8 INT
|Red zone: 11/25 (and two of those completions lost yardage) plus four sacks, two interceptions, only two TDs.
|41. Chad Hutchinson
92/161, 903 yards
5.6 YPA, 4 TDs, 3 INT
|Moles don't sniff as much dirt as this guy. Sacked 23 times in only five games, including NINE yesterday.
|42. Craig Krenzel
59/127, 718 yards
5.7 YPA, 3 TDs, 6 INT
|Most statistically similar QBs: Cody Carlson 1988, Steve Pisarkiewicz 1979, Gus Frerotte 1994, Danny Wuerffel 1997. Parade of quality!
Third down: Of the four first-round games (Broncos at Colts, Jets at Chargers, Vikings at Packers, Rams at Seahawks), which QB matchup most intrigues you?
Alan Grant: Manning vs. Plummer intrigues me because it's the do-everything-by-the-book young white professional against the thin, scruffy white kid who, though he's now techically "mature," has a game that just can't escape the word precocious. Strangely enough, Manning's pre-snap antics are almost as enjoyable as Plummer's post-snap escapades.I like Manning's passion. I appreciate his intense focus on the details and his unwavering sight of the big picture. I like how he gets everyone lined up. I also like Plummer's scrappy hubris. I like how mistakes of the past haven't retarded his swerve. These two are about as different as can be. And difference is a good thing for the NFL. They want everyone and everything to be the same. But variety is good for any product..
Eric Neel: I like the "showtime" pressure surrounding the Pennington-Brees matchup, but the Plummer-Manning meeting is even more intriguing. Peyton is so polished, so proficient. Jake is so unpredictable (I think even to himself). The contrast between them is appealing no matter how the game turns out. But what really appeals to me is the chance that Jake will harness some of his wacky genius and find the soft spots in the Colts D and go, if only for a little while, toe-to-toe with the King. I see Peyton walking off victorious, but I have a sneaking suspicion he'll be whispering, like Apollo, "ain't gone be no rematch."
Jeff Merron: The Vikings and Packers have already played two 34-31 games this season, and there's no reason to believe their first-round matchup will shape up any differently. It's going to be even more of a shootout in Green Bay than in Indy. I always find Manning interesting to watch -- I think T.O. picked up his Eagles' TD dance after he watched Peyton at the line of scrimmage. But Plummer is a roll of the dice, and about as intriguing. With Favre and Culpepper you get two greats; and in the fourth quarter, either one could pull it out even if they're down by two TDs.
Patrick Hruby: Bulger-Hasselbeck. I'm also intrigued by battery plant explosions and clubbed baby seals. Seriously, though, I'm equally interested in Jets-Chargers and Vikings-Packers. Regarding the former, I want to see how Drew Brees handles the first playoff game of his exhumed career, one with serious potential free-agent dollars hanging in the balance. Moreover, watching Chad Pennington just makes me feel lucky, as if I've been handed the keys to the executive washroom, or maybe a private audience with the Dali Lama. Think about it: Every NFL reporter on the Eastern seaboard -- verily, every football fan on Earth -- truly has been blessed to watch a large man throw a ball while other large men try to knock him senseless. Enjoy Pennington while you can; we may never see his likes again.
Anyway, I digress. The Green Bay-Minnesota contest ought to be entertaining in that both teams can score, neither team consistently can stop anyone and both Brett Favre and Daunte Culpepper like to gamble. Translation? Six-to-eight touchdowns between the two of them, with the game decided by one or two boneheaded throws. Good football? Meh. Good TV? Probably.
Aaron Schatz: It has to be Manning vs. Plummer. Trying to figure out what you are going to get out of Plummer is like throwing darts at a dartboard, except the dartboard is sitting somewhere in the middle of the Rockies and you are dropping the darts from an airplane. And you have to be intrigued by Manning's quest to remove the asterisk from his new title of "Greatest Passing Season of All Time"*
(*regular season only)
Skip Bayless: I most like to watch Favre vs. Culpepper, but you get the feeling they could play eight more quarters and Favre would still win on a last-second field goal. Hasselbeck and Bulger quarterback two oncoming trains without engineers. Denver has a chance if Plummer doesn't throw an interception, but you know he will. So the most intriguing matchup has to be Brees vs. Pennington, just to see how bad Pennington can get.
For his sake, I hope Pennington's arm is hurt. If it isn't, he has turned into nothing but a soft ice-cream machine. It's ironic that Jets fans and media condemn coordinator Paul Hackett for being too conservative. The Jets would have won at St. Louis in regulation if Hackett had continued feeding the ball to Curtis Martin. At San Diego, though, the Chargers' run defense is too stout. Pennington will have to "throw." Honestly, the Jets would have a better shot with Quincy Carter at quarterback. At least he can run.
Fourth down: Does Brett Favre need another Super Bowl trip to solidify (or earn) status alongside Montana, Unitas and Elway as one of the top three or four QBs of all time?
Eric Neel: The short answer? No. The slightly longer answer? Getting there is a team thing. If he makes it there, it won't just be because of how good he was. And if he doesn't make it there again, it won't be because he wasn't good enough. Elway's back-to-backs came courtesy of Terrell Davis, remember. The idea that Favre's status hinges on another Super Bowl trip is illogical. Look at the numbers, look at the longevity, look at the heart, look at the creativity, cunning, and courage. The status is set. He's one of the all-time greats. Period.
Alan Grant: In my opinion (that is the one you're asking for, right?) the man has nothing left to prove. In fact, he didn't really need that Super Bowl to make him great. I've already told you that much of the reason I hold him in such high regard goes beyond his obvious mastery of the game. The creativity of his play fakes make him a Picasso. I admire the gift he gave Michael Strahan while Strahan pursued the single-season sack record. Favre knows that, by nature of his position, he is "the chosen," and thus protected by others. But Strahan, by nature of his position, works alone. So Favre, an actual team player, honored Strahan's singular position by helping him out. Perhaps the act somewhat diminshes the sack record (and trust me, I know how folks can get about freakin' records!), but in terms of visionary acts among competitive men, it was a pretty cool gesture. He's the best in my book.
Jeff Merron: No. He's there, and nothing he does (or doesn't do) going forward will change that.
Patrick Hruby: Not really. It would help -- Denver's back-to-back titles cemented Elway's rep, even though Terrell Davis did the heavy offensive lifting -- but I think Favre's bust is already bronzed. From production to leadership, toughness to longevity, Favre has few quarterbacking peers, even if he's "only" 1-1 in the big game. Think of it this way: Jim Kelly went to four Super Bowls. Doesn't make him a part of this discussion.
Aaron Schatz: If Favre somehow managed to win another Super Bowl, I think he would stand alongside Elway. There are so many ways to rank quarterbacks that nobody can agree on who is the best of all time. But wherever you personally rank Elway -- ahead of Montana or Unitas, or behind both -- you would have to rank Favre in that same place. Still, with only one Super Bowl title, Favre will always stand behind Elway, who has a very similar resume except for that second Lombardi trophy.
And let's be clear: Favre doesn't need another Super Bowl trip to earn status alongside Montana, Unitas, and Elway as one of the top four quarterbacks of all time. He needs another Super Bowl trip to earn status alongside Montana, Unitas, Elway, and OTTO GRAHAM as one of the top FIVE quarterbacks of all time. Give the late Mr. Graham his propers.
Skip Bayless: Favre needs more than another trip. He needs another ring. It wouldn't be shocking if the Packers won an NFC title game at Philadelphia -- not after Eagles coach Andy Reid left his team with a post-T.O. identity crisis by not playing his offensive regulars much the last two games. Now who's the go-to guy? The Eagles have lost momentum, confidence and rhythm.
But if Favre beat the AFC champ in the Super Bowl, that would shock and impress even the biggest Montana or Elway fans. Green Bay's pass defense can be so pathetic that it's hard to believe the Packers could hold, say, Tom Brady's offense under 40 points. And it's even harder to imagine Favre scoring 41 on Belichick's defense. But if he wants to rise into the top echelon, now is his chance.
Best Throw of The Year:
Skip Bayless:In honor of Peyton Manning, it had to be his record-breaker, touchdown pass No. 49. This was a checkoff route that he and Brandon Stokley had discussed on the sideline and in the huddle. This audible required only eye contact. As Stokley broke from the slot, Manning gave no more than a flinch of a pump fake to Reggie Wayne, running an out, then cut loose over the middle before Stokley had even come out of his break on a skinny post. The safety knew he had been had, but his feet flew out from under him as he tried to slam on the brakes. The pass almost telepathically hit Stokley right in the numbers. A work of art.
Alan Grant: The one Tom Brady threw from the back of the end zone against the Bengals.
Aaron Schatz: Peyton Manning to Brandon Stokley to tie the Chargers in Week 16. Stokley faked out the defender, Manning made a perfect throw to hit a moving receiver, it broke the all-time passing touchdown record and it completed a 15-point fourth quarter comeback in a game with important playoff implications. What more can you ask from a pass?
Worst Throw of The Year:
Alan Grant: Aaron Brooks' lateral to his tackle.
Aaron Schatz: It was bad when Lamont Jordan couldn't figure out how to throw the ball away on the halfback option and tossed it right into double coverage. It was worse four weeks later when the Vikings made the same ridiculous mistake, calling a wideout option in the red zone only to discover Randy Moss had no idea how to throw the ball away (he tossed it right into double coverage). But nothing this year was as bad as the Aaron Brooks backwards lateral to maybe an offensive lineman kinda sorta.
Skip Bayless: This had to be the kind of pass that kept New Orleans -- as talented as any NFC team -- out of the playoffs. Somehow, Aaron Brooks got so discombulated in the pocket that he thought he was facing downfield when he was looking backward. He glimpsed a Saints jersey -- unfortunately, that of an offensive lineman -- and fired a pass that was actually a lateral. About 40 yards later, the Saints recovered for what had to be the biggest loss of the year. Only Jim Marshall could have understood.

"One of my favorite things about LSSU is its size. The classrooms, especially as you get to the upper levels, get smaller, so you not only have a chance to discuss your ideas in an honest, supportive manner, but you also get to know your professors and classmates.

Most people agreed that it was unacceptable behavior, which surprised me. In my mind, when relatives come to visit or when we visit relatives I don't expect them to help me be a parent to my child. Sure, I expect them to want to do the fun parts, but MOTN feedings (we FF), dirty diapers etc are my responsibility. It's also nice if a babysitting offer is made, but I don't expect it, and I probably wouldn't even accept the offer bc I would feel like I'm imposing.
So, what are your thoughts? When relatives are visiting, do you expect help? Does your answer change if you are the one doing the visiting?

Building Envelope Performance Is Climate ActionAugust 4th, 2015 by Tim Eian
Recently I was asked by a reporter to talk about my number one wish list item that I wish was better understood by homeowners in light of climate action and sustainable concepts that support the big picture of carbon reduction. Here is my reply:
A simple comparison with everyday life: While the building envelope compares to the heavy down jacket Minnesotans wear in the winter, the mechanical system compares to the little heating pouch we stick in our pockets to warm our hands. Most Minnesotans would agree that when venturing outside in the winter, the heavy jacket is more important than the little heating pouch, and understand that they would need a mighty large pouch to make a summer jacket keep them warm instead.
Similarly, mechanical equipment plays a role in home performance, comfort and efficiency but it cannot set the baseline for performance and improve the bottom line. Fact is that most humans prefer 70 F at 40 – 50 % relative humidity, which is a condition that we rarely encounter outside in Minnesota—particularly in the winter. It is the building envelope's job to protect us from the elements, and enable the building to maintain those preferable conditions inside. Whatever the building envelope cannot do, a mechanical system has to compensate for. In return, this means that the better the building envelope, the less the mechanical system has to provide, the less energy is being consumed and has to be generated, and the lower the carbon footprint. At the same time, comfort is up as the human body enjoys the steady environment.
A greater understanding of these facts enables homeowners to make sound decisions when it is time to enhance building performance—either for comfort, financial, or environmental reasons, or just because the building envelope is up for routine maintenance, which—by the way—is the best time to make upgrades as upgrade costs become incremental to the maintenance work.
The same is true for new construction, as our building energy code sets a comparatively low bar for building performance and comfort (you would not wear that summer jacket in the winter). The nice thing about building envelope upgrades is that they return on their investment on many levels all at the same time: Reduced carbon footprint, reduced energy bills, and increased comfort. In short, they are a smart use of our finite resources.
For those wondering what these upgrades entail, it is pretty simple:
- More insulation than code (typically 2 – 3 times); a checklist approach could be adopted, or an energy model used to determine the exact amount
- Airtight construction of less than 1 air change per hour at 50 Pascals pressure (measured with a blower door in the field); airtightness is an insurance policy against early building degradation among other things
- High-performance windows and doors (overall installed U-factor of less than 0.14 BTU/ h sf F with a solar heat gain coefficient of around 50% and an exterior shading strategy)
- Hygrothermally sound assemblies (meaning moisture transfer is understood and the design for the building envelope is resilient and durable over time)
A qualified professional such as TE Studio can assist with goal-setting, design and planning, which is key to a successful implementation of building envelope enhancements.

Bloodrootby Amy Greene
Staff Pick
Bloodroot Mountain is not a setting in Amy Greene's debut novel, it's a larger-than-life character: It has presence and life and story. Set in the Tennessee mountains during the Depression, Bloodroot tells the story of four generations of Lamb family women, who are rumored to be witches. Themes of love, truth, and beauty are pivotal, and they are explored with grace and hope, but there is also rage, wickedness, and hate. I raced through Bloodroot read it in one sitting because I absolutely could not put it down.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A stunning fiction debut about the legacies — of magic and madness, faith and secrets, passion and heartbreak — that one family wrestles with across generations, from the Great Depression to today.
Told in a kaleidoscope of voices, Bloodroot is at once a moving exploration of familial love and the story of an incendiary romance that consumes everyone in its path: Myra Lamb, a wild young girl with mysterious haint blue eyes who grows up on remote Bloodroot Mountain; her grandmother, Byrdie Lamb, who protects Myra fiercely and passes down the touch that bewitches people and animals alike; the neighbor boy who longs for Myra but is destined never to have her; Myra's children, who must reckon with all that they have inherited from their mother; and John Odom, the young man who tries to tame Myra and meets with disaster.
With grace and unflinching verisimilitude, Amy Greene brings these characters — the people of her native Appalachia — vividly to life in an evocative, astonishing tour de force.
"Despite a few vivid moments, this uneven debut, a four-generation Appalachian family epic, loses sight of the intriguing mythology it lays out early on. Though Byrdie Lamb inherited the mystical powers of the 'granny women' of her grandmother's mountain village, she's failed to protect her family: daughter Clio runs away from Bloodroot Mountain at 17 to get married and is later killed, along with her husband, in a car accident, leaving their daughter, Myra, in Byrdie's care. And though Byrdie tries to raise Myra right, Myra falls under the spell of an abusive alcoholic. Her children, twins Laura and Johnny, grow up largely in fear, and eventually social workers remove them from their home. As adults, they return for different reasons: she for comfort, he for revenge. Narrated by several members of the Lamb-Odom clan, the narrative initially swirls around the mystery of Byrdie's powers, but as the story plays out, her gift (or, perhaps, curse) is unfortunately backgrounded by the violence of those who marry into the family and sow ruin. Greene has a sharp eye for combustible moments and a fine ear for dialect, but the follow-through doesn't do justice to the setup." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"This stunning debut novel is a triumph of voice and setting....With a style as elegant as southern novelist Lee Smiths and a story as affecting as The Color Purple, this debut offers stirring testimony to the resilience of the human spirit." Booklist (starred review)
"Pitch-perfect voices tell a story loaded with lyric suffering and redemption — bound to be a huge hit." Kirkus Reviews
"Bloodroot is the best Appalachian novel to come out of the region in a long, long while, ushering in a fresh new voice that speaks for a whole generation." Silas House, author of Clay's Quilt and A Parchment of Leaves
"Bloodroot is a marvel of a first novel, its world deftly conjured, with a mood and magic all its own. I don't know what captivated me more, the vividness of its voices or its evocation of a corner of the American landscape both foreign and familiar — but I was riveted from start to finish." Arthur Golden, author of Memoirs of a Geisha
"Amy Greene's Bloodroot can stand proudly beside Alice Walker's The Color Purple and Jeannette Walls's The Glass Castle, two works which likewise examine the isometric push of the human spirit against the immovable forces of tyranny and poverty. Greene's novel has everything I savor in fiction: flawed but sympathetic characters, a narrative as unpredictable as it is engaging, and a setting rendered with such a vivid palette of local color detail that you'd swear you were there." Wally Lamb, author of The Hour I First Believed
Named for a flower whose blood-red sap possesses the power both to heal and poison, Bloodroot is a stunning fiction debut about the legacies — of magic and madness, faith and secrets, passion and loss — that haunt one family across the generations, from the Great Depression to today. Here is a spellbinding tour de force that announces a dazzlingly fresh, natural-born storyteller in our midst.

Malanga CaféRead MoreOwner Melissa Vias originally unveiled Malanga Café not only to share the exotic dishes crafted from her meticulous collection of Cuban recipes, but to transport diners to the music- and amusement-filled atmosphere of Cuba itself. Head chef Haydee Porras blends traditional ingredients to forge from scratch items such as crispy croquettes, steaming tamales, and a traditional suckling pig that smokes and crackles as it rotates in its sweltering roaster. Meanwhile, succulent morsels of shredded pork nestle into pillowy baguettes to craft the pan con lechon, whose popular recipe arrived from Santiago de Cuba via Vias's husband. Postmeal, patrons can amuse other senses with games of Cubilete or the rhythms of a live band, then sign a giant mural awash with famous Cuban sayings to personalize a part of history and provide an effective alibi against sushi-eating accusations.12313 S Dixie Hwy.Pinecrest, FL US

Women who choose to try a new non-surgical cosmetic treatment may find that they no longer need to use lip gloss.
Dr Philippe Bellity, a leading French cosmetic surgeon, has developed a non-volume lip enhancement procedure that provides the much-desired 'bee-stung' look while avoiding the dreaded 'trout pout'.
The procedure is quick and painless and is now available exclusively at the London Day Surgery Centre, where it is being offered at prices starting at £500.
It involves pin-prick injections of a hyaluronic acid solution around the lip line on the top layer of the lip, avoiding the muscle.
This results in a shiny 'plumped' appearance that lasts for up to a year and Dr Bellity noted that his technique means "you never see a French woman with a trout pout".
"Lip enhancement has had bad press in the cosmetic surgery industry and French women want to look naturally enhanced," he explained.
"Patients are safe in the knowledge that the substance injected is one that naturally occurs in their body and if for any reason they wanted their lips reduced we could reverse it immediately."
The London Day Surgery Centre provides a range of dental, aesthetic and surgical procedures using modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.

Rehosting Mainframe Workloads: Legacy Migration and Modernization Solutions From HP and Clerity

Date Added: Aug 2009

With today's emphasis on improving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Return On Investment (ROI), organizations must find new ways to decrease costs while maintaining functionality, meeting service level agreements, and mitigating risk. If business relies on mainframe systems, one may feel locked into a proprietary infrastructure with annual software, hardware, and support cost that are becoming increasingly less competitive. Yet the applications running on the mainframe are likely crucial to business. Many organizations are now taking the approach of moving valuable legacy applications to open systems server environments with greater economies of scale and increased business flexibility so that they can reduce overall expenditures and open up new opportunities for increased IT value.

I was thinking of using one to start my girly after xmas but im not sure about it.
I ride english but we are going down the bitless route I've ridden her in a rope halter for like 5 mins and that was just asking for go and stop, she was fine and she's verry responsive on the ground, so would she be responsive with a bosal?.
Does it apply pressure evenly-ish if you ask the horse to flex to the right or left?
What are the ups and downs?
