Jay Leno leaving 'Tonight Show' and will be replaced by Jimmy Fallon next spring
Jay Leno says he will leave NBC's `Tonight Show' next spring, to be replaced by Jimmy Fallon.
Leno, 62, made the announcement Tuesday that he will wrap up what will be 22 years of headlining the iconic late-night show in Spring 2014.
"Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy. If you need me, I'll be at the garage," Leno said in a statement.
As part of the transition, "The Tonight Show" will be returning to its original home in 30 Rock in New York and will be executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Lorne Michaels ("Saturday Night Live," "30 Rock").
"I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow," Fallon said.
The late night talk show hosts have been pitted against each other as rumors fly that NBC would change the guard.
But the two made light of their situation Monday night -- by belting a show tune together.
READ: Leno, Fallon make light of rivalry
"Tonight, tonight, who's going to host 'Tonight'? Is it going to be Jimmy or Jay?" the pair sang in a parody of "Tonight" from the Broadway musical "West Side Story."
The rumor mill has Fallon, 38, taking over 62-year-old Leno's job as host of NBC's "Tonight Show" -- at an undisclosed time -- and Leno has responded with pointed barbs at his employer that have seen his ratings rise.
"In the news, they say I'm replacing you, they think that I can woo, the demo," Fallon sang.
Leno responded: "So the network says, here's an idea: pack your bags, take a hike, NBC-ya!"
Rumors about Fallon supplanting Leno have been swirling since mid-March, when the New York Times' Bill Carter reported that the network has made a commitment to Fallon in regards to him succeeding Leno.

SANTA FE — President Obama on Thursday signed into law the Katie Sepich Act, named for a graduate student at New Mexico State University who was murdered by a stranger.
It will expand DNA collection in arrests of defendants arrested on suspicion of serious crimes.
U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., introduced the legislation with then-U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman in March 2011 to create incentives for states to implement DNA collection programs.
New Mexico already has a Katie's Law.
State legislators in 2011 approved a bill mandating that everybody arrested on suspicion of a felony provide police with a DNA sample. It expanded a state law that required DNA samples upon arrest in a subset of serious crimes.
The concept is that checking DNA upon arrest will pinpoint people who have committed other crimes.
Gov. Susana Martinez, who personally prosecuted Sepich's killer as a district attorney, signed that bill into law.
When 22-year-old Sepich was murdered in 2003, New Mexico did not collect DNA until a defendant was convicted. Her killer was arrested on unrelated charges that same year, but was not connected to Sepich's rape and murder until his conviction for other crimes in 2006.
"Katie's Law is a sensible approach that would give law enforcement the tools they need to help solve crimes and prevent heartbreaking tragedies like Katie's from happening in the future," Udall said.
The goal of the federal legislation, first introduced in 2010 by then-U.
Sepich was from Carlsbad, but was a graduate student at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces when she died.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Central New York veterans got into the Iwo Jima Memorial on Sunday by knocking over water-filled barriers. Their three buses were then able to get in to see the landmark.
Compared to battling the Germans and Japanese during World War II, Honor Flight Syracuse volunteers said working around a government shutdown in Washington D.C. was a challenge easily overcome.
They put their backs into it, tilting the water-filled barricades and letting the water pour out. Then they moved the barricades so the buses could get into the memorial area.
Volunteers and donations make it happen. SRC, Inc. is the largest corporate sponsor of this Honor Flight. The veterans were matched with volunteer guardians who shuttled them from the tour bus via wheelchair through the memorials.
These veterans were traveling for the first time to the Vietnam Wall, Arlington National Cemetery and the Iwo Jima Monument.
When the Honor Flight plane returns to Hancock Airport Sunday evening, it will be met by a 'water arch' set up by National Guard and airport fire equipment.

yeah, the clippers will be irrelevent this year. the replacement of Magette and Brand with Bdiddy and Camby shows the team will have some improvement, but none do get them in the playoffs.
But with such a dumb trade (or maybe a better term "lopsided") in Denver's part. is it possible that Denver is not done? Maybe they are talking to Houston or Detroit about a possibility of swapping stars. because this might be a two part process, cuz if its not, then the nuggets will need to fire their GM for being an idiot.

yeah thats pretty much all it is...its not really a message board like our community is. its more just a bunch of people blogging their thoughts about the warriors on a common website. so unorganized in that sense, which is why i stay here. i never really liked GSoM...although they are pretty well-known around the bay. i think if we could get together for some games with t-shirts of our own like some of us have planned to do this time last year, we could take over the warrior community as far as being known in the bay and at the oracle.

I am not a biologist so the question may be very stupid. I have no idea. Why did Darwin formulate his theory of evolution just after his visit to the Galapagos island? Why is it so special from the evolutionary point of view?
He formulated his theory after travelling the world aboard the Beagle, here's the route! He found the Galapagos Islands particularly inspiring,
This is a more detailed account of his relationship with the Galapagos islands, and there is also a book called "voyage of the beagle" (I think it is available as a free kindle download!) which is basically his diary.
A big part of the reason it is so famous is because of "Darwin's Finches" which are 12 species of finch on the island that have all evolved to specific niches. This is one of the classic examples of evolution. Darwin noted the differences between the birds, thinking they were of different families, but it was later discovered they were all finches and the differences had evolved because of factors like the food they eat (seed eaters had fatter beaks.. etc).
The Galapagos islands offer opportunities to study evolution and adaptation because the islands are distant from the mainland, have differences between the islands, and migration between the islands is difficult. Studies like this one (which I happened to be reading at the time of the question being asked whilst writing a manuscript!) are an example of how cool a place it is!
Galápagos islands are one of few islands with a unique fauna and flora. This can only happen when the distance to other land is great enough, and when the island exists long enough that flora and fauna could grow (volcano islands are sterile for a long time).
Now Galápagos is even more unique because it is comprised of several islands that are distant enough that some animals cannot cross the distance like small birds. That leads to a unique fauna and flora that also differs between islands, so you can see differences just by visiting the next island. This made it practically a museum of evolution.
I want to point out that Darwin did not notice about the finches as everybody thinks until the captain of the Beagle (Robert Fitz Roy) pointed that to him.
Also it was after a lifetime of collecting evidences not only from his voyages but from experiments in his own house and contributions from colleagues that he developed his theories, many years after his voyages.
Which doesn't diminish his contributions at all. He made one of the greatest contributions to biology and human knowledge in general ever.

The Tribeca Film Festival was overflowing with adorableness on Wednesday night, thanks to new couple Jason Segel and Michelle Williams, who were glued to each other at the premiere of the actor's new flick, "The Five-Year Engagement."
"Michelle didn't do the red carpet but wanted to be there for Jason's big night," a spy tattles to Us Weekly. "She snuck in to sit in the theater during the screening, then they all went over to the afterparty together, where they were hanging out with his co-star Emily Blunt and Robert De Niro."
During the post-premiere bash at the Museum of Modern Art, Segel held tight to Williams' hand and whispered in her ear as he introduced her around, reports People, which kvells that they "looked very new and very happy."
And very touchy-feely.
"Michelle was really sweet but her usual shy self in crowds ... Jason would put his arms around her waist and they gave each other a few sweet pecks," adds the Us eyewitness. "They definitely seemed to have a physical chemistry. Every actor in there was so enamored by the couple!"
The funnyman's innate goofiness probably helped. According to the New York Daily News, he leaned down (way down) to give his petite squeeze a kiss on the nose and later had her (and everyone else) busting up as he danced around to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'."
The actress ducked out of the festivities early, perhaps to head home to 6-year-old daughter Matilda, but she left Segel with a kiss on his cheek, a whisper in his ear and a fleeting back rub.
Their low-key appearance follows Jason's first and apparently only statement on the budding romance ("I think we would just very much like to be happy," he told "Extra." "That's all I'm going to say about it.") and snaps of the schmoopy decoration on his iPhone cover, on which he's taped pics of Williams surrounded by the words "I love you."
(Go on and say it -- we know it's welling up like an eruption at Old Faithful: Awwwww.)
And though Williams lives in Brooklyn and Segel is based in Los Angeles, the long-distance issue may not be much of a problem.
When People asked the actor if he would ever take a cue from his "Five-Year Engagement" character and relocate for love, he responded, "I would, absolutely."
He also sounds a whole lot more man than Muppet these days: "I hit my 30s and enough became enough. I'm ready to enter Phase 3. I put the puppets into a closet. I'm getting nice furniture."

It is one of the best threads ever here on SB.com.
WRFG wins an award from Malt Advocate and the members have some opinions to put it mildly, even John Hansell chimes in to explain the award.
Thx Oscar. Very nice thread.
Now I just need someone to dust off their bottle and bring it to the Gazebo. I'm sure that I'll find it on the sacrificial rail and not the actual table, but I would like to try it to satisfy my morbid curiosity.
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment.
I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night. Time of your life, huh kid?
Just finished off the last pour of my EC12. I really enjoyed every drop and will be picking up another bottle on my next shopping spree.
Lost some really good bottles from my starting lineup the past few days. 08 BTAC ER 17, Lot B, WTRR 101, and ER 101. I'm sure glad I have backups. Joe
" I never met a Weller I didn't like"
WT101 goes down... best value on the market.
Whisk(e)y - a bargain at any price !!!
Browsing through my stash when I got home from work today, I spotted another bottle with only one pour left. A 1989 Walker's Deluxe is now alongside the others in the recycle bin. Joe

What is Caraway Used for Today?
| Dosage
| Safety Issues
Caraway has a long history of use as a "carminative," an herb said to relieve gas pain. Mentions of caraway for digestive problems can be found in Egyptian records, and the herb has been used in Europe for this purpose since at least the Middle Ages. The seeds, or their
essential oil
, are the part of the plant used medicinally
, placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and thus far such studies have not been performed on caraway alone. (For more information on why such studies are essential, see
Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?
) However, a few double-blind studies have been reported on combination products containing caraway oil for the treatment of
(non-specific stomach distress).
For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 39 people found that an enteric-coated
peppermint oil
and caraway oil combination taken three times daily by mouth for 4 weeks significantly reduced dyspepsia pain as compared to placebo.
Of the treatment group, 63.2% of participants were pain-free after 4 weeks, compared to 25% of the placebo group.
In other double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, a combination of caraway, bitter candytuft,
peppermint leaves
licorice root
, and
lemon balm
also proved effective for dyspepsia.
comparative studies have also been reported. One such study of 118 people found that the combination of peppermint and caraway oil was about as effective as the standard drug cisapride (a drug used for dyspepsia that is no longer available).
After 4 weeks, the herbal combination reduced dyspepsia pain by 69.7%, whereas the conventional treatment reduced pain by 70.2%. Finally, a preparation of peppermint, caraway, fennel, and wormwood oil was compared to the drug metoclopramide in a double-blind study enrolling 60 people.
After 7 days, 43.3% of the treatment group was pain-free, compared to 13.3% of the metoclopramide group.
Far weaker evidence hints that caraway extracts may have
actions. However, the evidence for these potential benefits is far too weak to rely on.
Caraway oil is said to be helpful for
irritable bowel syndrome
. Teas made from caraway are recommend for
periodontal disease
canker sores
. However, there is no meaningful supporting evidence for any of these uses.
A typical dose of caraway is 0.05–0.2 ml of the essential oil taken three times daily.
Caraway is generally regarded as safe when used in recommended doses. However, essential oils can be toxic to very young children, and excessive doses could be dangerous for adults as well. Maximum safe dosages in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.

Pope John Paul II's ski jacket, at the Hendersonville high school that bears his name, reminds students to be well rounded. If he is canonized, the jacket will become a second-class holy relic.
- Filed Under
The Roman Catholic Church will soon have two new saints, and one of their relics will be on display at a local Catholic high school.
On Friday, Pope Francis approved Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII for sainthood, with their official canonization likely by the end of the year.
John Paul II will be canonized less than 10 years after his 2005 death, after the Vatican confirmed a second miracle attributed to his intercession. The family of a Costa Rican woman who had a brain aneurysm said she was healed after they appealed to John Paul II in prayer on her behalf. ...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - UK Coach John Calipari wasn't screaming like he has been most of the season. As Kentucky finished off Auburn Saturday night Calipari said he didn't have to. "When you're up 16 and 18 and you're finishing people off what do you do? Just scream to scream. They're doing everything you want them to do, so you just coach the game."
Nerlens Noel, who finished with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 7 blocks against the Tigers noticed that Calipari toned it down. "Yeah it's a good feeling to not have him yelling at some players when we're up by that much. I mean that's definitely going to push us to have 20-30 point lead more often."
Calipari said he'd like to just sit there with a rolled up program and watch the whole game. "That would be fun, to do that for like 10 years. A 10 year run of just crossing my legs and watching what happens." It happend Saturday night at Auburn as the Cats pulled away in the 2nd half. "How about this, they're diving for loose balls, they're going for rebounds, they're talking to one another. 'Well Cal, you didn't have to do as much.' Dahhhhh, dahhhhh. Did you watch the game? I don't have to do as much."

Passing the amphibious ship Rushmore, the new littoral combat ship Coronado arrives for the first time at its homeport of San Diego. (US Navy)
- Filed Under
WASHINGTON — Under orders to reexamine the Littoral Combat Ship program and begin the process of evaluating possible new designs, Adm. Jon Greenert, chief of naval operations, said Monday he was preparing to stand up a new task force to provide him with recommendations.
The effort is in response to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagels direction to begin consideration of a more heavily-armed and survivable small surface combatant, with recommendations to be in hand in time to guide 2016 budget formulations.
The new task force will supersede the LCS Council, a group of high-ranking officers assembled in August 2012 to help guide the program. Under the guidance of the director of the Navy Staff, Vice Adm. Richard Hunt, the council issued directives and gave the program a new high-profile emphasis.
But its actions largely fell out of sight after Hunts retirement last summer, and his successor, Vice Adm. Michelle Howard, never spoke publicly in a council role. She has since moved on to a deputy CNO position, and has been nominated to become the vice chief of naval operations.
Hagel announced Feb. 24 he was capping buys of the LCS in its current form at 32 ships, 20 short of the previously-planned total of 52. In its place, he said, he is seeking, a capable and lethal small surface combatant, generally consistent with the capabilities of a frigate. Ive directed the Navy to consider a completely new design, existing ship designs, and a modified LCS.
Greenert, speaking to reporters at the Pentagon on Monday, said he would issue a memo shortly that would describe the makeup of the new task force. He did not reveal what office would be leading the effort.
There will be people in the [Naval Sea Systems Command] end of this, people in the requirements end, he said.
Were going to kind of look at it like the Marine Corps did their amphibious combat vehicle recently, the CNO added. They got some real good integration and systems engineers to take a look at it. You can start with naval architects, but how does it come together? Those are the people who have to be key to this, in addition to capabilities.
Greenert noted that the LCS Council was always meant to be temporary. Im getting ready to step it down. Its not gone yet, but stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the LCS program moved forward with the announcement on Monday of contract awards to build four more ships.
Lockheed Martin received $699 million for two Freedom-class ships, numbered LCS 17 and LCS 19. Austal USA got $684 million for LCS 18 and LCS 20 of the Independence class.
The prices had been determined in block-buy arrangements with each primary contractor agreed upon in December 2010.
LCS 17 has been named Indianapolis, but names have not been announced for the other ships.
All four ships were funded in 2014, and are the seventh and eighth ships in each primary contractors 10-ship block buy. Three of the four remaining block buy ships are being requested in the 2015 budget, although is not yet clear which contractor will get two ships and which gets one in the new three-per-year LCS buying scheme.
Announcement of the contracts marks the fourth straight year LCS contract awards have been announced in March.
Also on Monday, Coronado, the fourth LCS and second Independence-class ship, arrived for the first time at its homeport of San Diego, where it will be commissioned on April 5.

Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham is shown in this December 2009 photo. (Patricia Miklik Doyle)
BELTON, TEXAS — A Central Texas jury has fined a Fort Hood soldier convicted of a misdemeanor in a case fought on his behalf by gun-rights advocates protesting his arrest.
The Temple Daily Telegram reports that the Belton jury that convicted U.S. Army Master Sgt. Christopher Grisham did not sentence him Tuesday to jail time. Grisham was fined $2,000.
Grisham has said he will appeal his conviction and sentence for interference with the duties of an officer.
He was arrested in March while hiking with his 15-year-old son. A police officer was called after someone saw Grisham carrying an assault rifle, which hes legally allowed to do under state law. Grisham was arrested after a confrontation caught on video.
His first trial earlier this year ended with a deadlocked jury.

These diagonally-cut tower tops are the public's pick for the new Tappan Zee Bridge. / New York Thruway Authority
Its clear which tower-top design the public wants to see on the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
Diagonally cut tower tops that would soar 419 feet above the water were the overwhelming favorite among 220 comments the state received from the public, officials said Thursday. It was also what the states bridge aesthetic panel had recommended.
Last week, the state asked the public to weigh in on two tower-top designs for the new 3-mile span. People viewed drawings on NewNYBridge.com and submitted comments.
The chosen design, which will give the bridge a sleeker look, will cost roughly $2 million more than Tappan Zee Constructors original proposal but wont require changes to the construction project schedule or the remaining structure, state officials say. Tappan Zee Constructors original plan had called for block-shaped tower tops that would rise 409 feet above the water.
Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo has made it clear that transparency and public input must play a key role in the construction of the New New York Bridge, said the panels chairman, Brian Conybeare, who is also Cuomos special adviser on the project. The success of this process has reinforced that the (panel) is essential in both achieving this goal and giving Hudson Valley residents a bridge they can be proud of.
Officials said the final cost of the tower tops has to be negotiated between the Thruway Authority and the design-build team, but it could be offset by future savings. Officials declined to elaborate. The aesthetic panels recommendation is being reviewed by the New York State Thruway Authority, which has final say on the design, officials say.
Tappan Zee Constructors is expected to start construction this year on the $3.9 billion project.

Houston police said the vehicle was stolen at Almeda Mall on Wednesday afternoon.
The vehicle was tracked down and found on Lathrop Street just north of Interstate 10, investigators said.
One person was taken into custody.
Investigators said they were looking at surveillance video recorded inside the bait car to determine if the person in custody was inside the vehicle.

The bottlenose dolphin body count is still rising along the Atlantic Coast, and the viral outbreak is moving south as the animals migrate, a federal expert said Friday.
A total of 753 stranded bottlenose dolphins died from New York to South Carolina from July 1 to Nov. 3 - about 10 times the norm and more than during previous die-offs, said Dr. Teri Rowles of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Moreover, morbillivirus, the measles-like virus deemed most likely responsible for the outbreak, has now been detected in bottlenose dolphins in Florida and two whale species, ...

I have a friend on DeviantArt, who hasn't logged in for about 40 weeks now and I have no other way to contact him. Not yet assuming the worst, but I'm starting to worry.
It made me think, however "real life" friends usually get to know that you're gone, because others tell them, but what about your social media friends? I'm planning to give all my logins and passwords to my girlfriend, so she can make the "one last post".
What do you think? I believe that after the 18 years (or so) of internet, this is starting to be a serious issue

Vladimir Putin's despotism targets gay people.
The 2014 Olympic Winter Games haven't started, but they've already produced their first scandal.
The host country's president, Vladimir Putin, runs a notoriously despotic regime whose victims include not only independent journalists and political opponents but also gay men and lesbians, who have recently been targeted by a law prohibiting "propaganda of nontraditional sexual practices" among minors.
Russia's patently oppressive statute presents no problem for gay visitors to the Games, Putin observed on Friday. "One can feel calm and at ease," he said. "Just leave kids alone, ...

Ashley Han, 20, sits next to her mother Serim Han, as she talks about her father Ki-Suck Han during a news conference in New York. / Bebeto Matthews, AP
NEW YORK (AP) - The daughter of a New York City man pushed to his death onto the subway tracks in front of a train says it "would have been great" if someone had helped him up but "what's done is done."
Ki-Suck Han of Queens was apparently trying to break up a fight when he landed on the tracks Monday. The New York Post published a photo on its front page Tuesday of Han with his head turned toward the train, his arms reaching up but unable to climb off the tracks.
Han's only child, 20-year-old Ashley, said Wednesday that he was always willing to help others.
A pastor says Han's family was so distraught after seeing the Post's photo that they had to stay with him.
A homeless man was arrested Wednesday in Han's death.

Sequester to cut pay 20% for most military civilian staff
With lawmakers on a nine-day Presidents Day recess, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially notified Congress on Wednesday of the department's intent to furlough the "vast majority" of its civilian workers. This, he said, will be necessary if Republicans and Democrats continue to refuse to negotiate a balanced debt-reduction deal to defuse or delay the sequestration budget bomb built into the 2011 Budget Control Act.
The furloughs would capture about $5 billion of needed savings but would hit overall readiness along with other plans to cut stateside base operations, reduce military training except for next-to-deploy units, delay maintenance of ships, aircraft, vehicles and facilities, suspend many scheduled ship deployments and make deep cuts in aircraft flying hours.
Panetta's letter starts a 45-day clock required by law to begin the huge furlough. It gives the services and defense agencies time to recommend individuals or categories of employees for exemption from the furlough, which can mean a total of 22 days' unpaid leave through Sept. 30.
Civilians working in combat zones will be exempt as will employees needed to maintain safety of life and property at defense facilities. Exemptions are expected for some civilians working in intelligence.
Also exempt will be 50,000 foreign nationals who work on U.S. bases overseas under status of forces agreements with host countries. Exempt by law are all non-appropriated fund employees who work in base exchanges or who run military morale, welfare and reaction activities.
Most commissary employees would not be exempt, however, because their wages are paid with tax dollars. So base grocery store hours and some other family support program could be cut if sequestration occurs.
By mid-March, employees who are not exempt will get individual notices of likely furlough, to start in 30 days. They will have one week to appeal that decision to the federal Merit Systems Protection Board. So the first defense civilians won't see their work hours cut until late April.
"The effects of sequestration and the continuing resolution on our military personnel will be devastating. But on our civilians, it will be catastrophic," warned Jessica Lynn Wright, acting under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
"These critical members of our work force," added Wright, maintain and repair tanks, aircraft and ships, teach in military schools, operate day care centers and are 40 percent of staff in base hospital and clinics.
"They take care of our wounded warriors. They provide services and programs such as sexual assault prevention and suicide prevention, just to name a few," she said.
A 20 percent pay cut for five months "won't only be felt by each employee," Wright added, but by nearby communities.
"While civilians will experience the impact directly to their wallets, our service members, retirees and families will clearly feel the effect of these actions. If sequestration is not averted, the associated furloughs will impact our war fighters, our veterans and our family members in untold ways."
At the same Pentagon press conference Wednesday, Robert Hale, the department's chief financial officer, urged Congress to pass a balanced deficit reduction package to avoid sequestration and also to pass a fiscal 2013 defense appropriation bill to replace a continuing budget resolution that has frozen defense spending below fiscal 2012 levels.
Hale dismissed the idea that Congress only needs to give Defense officials flexibility to rebalance billions of dollars between budget accounts.
"I don't think it would help that much this far into the fiscal year," Hale said. "And if it makes sequestration more likely, to either occur or persist, I think it's a bad deal, the flexibility."
Hale warned that if sequestration is triggered and stays in effect into fiscal 2014 and beyond, furloughs this year would turn into job losses and into deeper military personnel cuts, forcing leaders to draft a new defense strategy that would recognize reduced capabilities and a smaller force.
Tricare Prime rollback: Tricare Management Activity has a new online tool for retirees under age 65 and surviving spouses to verify if their Prime network will end Oct. 1, moving them to Tricare Standard.
With the new fiscal year, managed care networks operating beyond 40 miles of military treatment facilities or base closure sites will be halted under next-generation Tricare support contracts. The change, to affect 171,000 beneficiaries, is intended to cut Tricare costs for taxpayers.
At the website www.Tricare.mil/psazip, Tricare users can type in their ZIP code and learn whether their Prime service area will exist after Sept. 30. They also can find contact information for contractors and can sign up for email alerts on additional changes planned to Prime service areas.
Of the three Tricare regions in the United States, the South will be most heavily affected by rollback of managed care networks.
Among Northwest areas in the West Region, Prime networks will end in: Eugene, Medford, Portland and Salem, Ore.; and Yakima.

I just recently noticed VG red label on the shelves south of the border in Bama. Haven't noticed it before so I'm not sure if it's a new addition or what. It was priced pretty cheap: $10.99. I almost grabbed a bottle to go along with some EWSB '91 but figured I better wait and see what others had to say about it. I'd hate to purchase an inferior version of "The Fox" when, for only a few bucks more, I can get the green label (which I've had in the past). And, from an earlier post by Linn, inferior seems to be the case.
I didn't find an awful lot on the red label while searching here. Dave, you've mentioned it more than anybody else. Is this one of your personal favorites? You mentioned it being refreshing? What exactly led you to that description? And do you find it similar and/or inferior to the green label?

On Sunday, some 82,500 fans will pack MetLife Stadium to see the NFL's finest battle it out for the league's top prize, the Vince Lombardi trophy. While the vast majority of Americans will be watching from the comfort of their own homes - an estimated nine out of 10 spectators will be at a private residence or a friend's, according to The Nielsen Company, and tens of thousands will pack the home of the New York Giants and Jets for an experience that they'll likely not soon forget.
While most who will be in attendance are likely from the area, many will be flying in from out of town. And, among those who haven't already secured a hotel - which can be pricey, given their high demand - the rest will need a place to stay for however long they plan to be in town.
This may serve as an ideal opportunity for homeowners to rent out their residence, enabling them to make some easy money. However, there are some important property insurance tasks to take care of before advertising one's abode as being available for rent.
"Before renting out all or part of your home, tell your insurer about your plans first to make sure you're covered if your property is damaged or if someone is injured," said Jeanne Salvatore, senior vice president of public affairs and consumer spokesperson for the Insurance Information institute.
Depending on the insurer, some carriers may permit their policyholders to rent out their residence for special occasions, the III stated. At the same time, though, while this may be allowed, certain qualifications may need to be satisfied first, such as the carrier being informed well ahead of time or purchasing a businessowners insurance plan, seeing as how homeowners insurance doesn't cover business ventures.
For more information on renting out a residence for unique events and what may be required, speak to your local Selective agent.

All day long in our live, updating Free Agency Experience, everyone wanted to know whether Nnamdi Asomugha was going to the Jets or the Cowboys.
The answer? Neither, because he's headed to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The team announced the deal shortly after 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday and Nnamdi has signed a five-year, $60 million deal with $25 million guaranteed that no one saw coming.
"Howie and Joe worked their tail off and put together this phenomenal plan," Philadelphia coach Andy Reid said. "They came out of the gates like wild men and attacked the issue. Neither one of them has had much sleep. But they've rewarded our football team and the city of Philadelphia with some great players."
It's an absolute slam dunk for Philadelphia, a team that never looked like they were truly in the running for Asomugha, and it makes Nnamdi the richest cornerback in the NFL.
"He's one of the best - if not the best - cornerback in the National Football League," Reid said. "He'll be a great addition to our cornerback corps. Right now."
What makes this one of the more bizarre and suspenseful free-agent signings in the history of the NFL is that all day long, the Jets and Cowboys were leading the chase for Asomugha. But shortly before six-o-clock, Albert Breer of the NFL Network reported that the Jets were out of the running for Nnamdi. A few moments later Manish Mehta of the New York Post confirmed that report.
|Free Agency Frenzy
One obvious "problem" for the Eagles is that they're suddenly loaded with top-flight cornerbacks, with Asante Samuel already on the roster and having just recently acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from the Cardinals in the infamous Kevin Kolb trade.
"We have three good cornerbacks," Reid said. "It reminds me a little bit of when we had (Pro Bowl cornerbacks) Al (Harris), Troy (Vincent) and Bobby Taylor."
There's been some speculation about whether or not Samuel will be actually be a part of the team's plans going forward, considering that he wasn't at camp on Friday.
"That's a personal excused absence that Asante's dealing with," Roseman said.
He also pointed out that having a surplus of cornerbacks isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"It's always been a priority position for us," Roseman said. "Corners, pass rushers, and we felt like last year, we were in a situation where maybe we got a little short-handed, and we thought it was a place that we wanted to go heavy and have a lot of talent at.
"You can never have enough cover corners. That helps your pass rush and when you have an opportunity to add the players we added, we just thought we had to add those guys."
So it meant, obviously, that the Cowboys were wrapping up a deal to land Nnamdi, right? Wrong -- Clarence Hill, Jr of the Dallas Star-Telegram reported that Dallas was out of the running for Nnamdi too, citing a text message from Asomugha's agent.
"The Cowboys are not in the Nnamdi sweepstakes," Asomugha's agent Ben Dogra said in a text message to Hill on Friday.
Adam Schefter then reported that the Eagles backdoored the entire NFL and -- poof! -- just like that, everything we knew about how the Nnamdi sweepstakes went down changed entirely.
Jerry Jones not only got beat for the biggest free agent on the market in 2011, but he got beat by a division rival and a team that is absolutely one of the primary favorites to win the Super Bowl given their defensive improvements and offensive explosiveness.
It was a wild, wild ride all week long leading up to the final announcement at 6 p.m., too. At one point, the Texans were reportedly in the lead for Asomugha, but they bailed on getting too involved in the chase to pick up Johnathan Joseph.
Then it appeared to be the Cowboys and Jets all the way up until late on Friday (Jerry Jones later said that the Cowboys were indeed "close"). But somehow, the Eagles played everyone -- and I mean everyone -- for suckers all the way up until the end, when they swooped in, landed Nnamdi and cranked up their chances at hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

For Thanksgiving dinner, it seems like the most important ingredient is family. As Doug Groendyke, executive chef of The Daily Planet said, Be with the family and put love in the food.
Levi Carter, executive chef, The Clover House Restaurant, Colchester
Weve been open on Thanksgiving for the last couple of years and so Ill probably end up taking food home from the restaurant. We do a pretty traditional meal with little spins and Ill be making about 60 pounds of stuffing. My favorite is apple with sausage and I dont like it baked in the bird because I think that makes it soggy and greasy. A tip is to take the wings off the turkey and sear them in the pan along with the onions and celery and cook them in with the stuffing, which gives the stuffing that good turkey flavor without it getting too greasy. For the apples, I like Cortland or Mac, unpeeled, and I always use McKenzie sausage. We use pre-cubed but not seasoned, toasted white bread and lots of fresh sage and thyme and turkey stock made in-house. Well bake off batches fresh throughout the day so theyre fresh and crispy for people. The stuffing I take home, I might add some good two-year Grafton cheddar to it. Growing up, Grandma Carter did an amazing Thanksgiving. We grew up pretty poor in the Old North End and Thanksgiving was special for us.
Doug Groendyke, executive chef, The Daily Planet, Burlington
What I most remember about Thanksgiving is how everyone is always in the kitchen having fun together. I grew up in south Florida, miles away from all the ingredients we have to play with here. Theres no local movement there, but wed always do a good sausage stuffing with artisan bread. And then wed put cranberries in it. I made an upside down pear cake last year and I think Im going to make that again. The important thing about Thanksgiving is just to have fun with it. Be with the family and put love in the food.
Grace Danaher, kitchen manager/chef, Sugarsnap, Burlington and South Burlington
I learned how to make stuffing from my meme (meh-meh), my grandmother. She used sourdough bread in her stuffing. Im not sure why but she always did. She taught me that the most important part was to cut it up, with the crusts still on, and get it nice and stale by leaving it out for three or four days. Then the trick is to add just enough chicken stock that the stuffing doesnt get too mushy but its wet enough. At Sugarsnap, we make our own sausage but my meme always used McKenzie bulk sausage, the one in the gray and white package. I think its sweet Italian. You get it nice and cooked with lots of butter and the vegetables: about 50 percent onions, 25 percent carrot and 25 percent celery. And you dont worry about the butter because its Thanksgiving. You toss the dried bread in with the sausage mixture and moisten it with the chicken stock. Shed always bake some stuffing in the bird and some outside to get crispy because everyone likes crispy. At Sugarsnap, well have memes stuffing with sourdough and our own homemade sausage and well also do a vegetarian stuffing with cornbread, dried cranberries and candied nuts.
Lois Blaisdell, baker-owner, West Meadow Farm Certified Gluten-Free Bakery, Essex Junction
I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1997 and one of my daughters is also celiac. My other daughter eats gluten-free for general health and well-being. Theyre both local and we all go to my sisters house for the main meal and then to my husbands family for dessert and conversation. I use our bakerys gluten-free bread for our stuffing; we sell bags of our white bread cubed. But one of the things Ive always done for our stuffing is to include plenty of other things that give it a nice texture. I start with celery, onions and mushrooms cooked in butter and I love a lot of other stuff: dried fruit like cranberries, nuts like walnuts or pecans and chopped apple. Personally, I love sausage, too. I like to use McKenzies country sausage but my daughters prefer turkey sausage. Then the bread cubes and lots of Bells seasoning. Finally, I add chicken broth, and if youre cooking for someone gluten-free you need to check the label to make sure the stock is gluten-free because you cant take that for granted.
Adam Raftery, chef and co-owner, The Wooden Spoon Bistro, South Burlington
I got my passion and my thirst for food from my mom and my grandma. Theyre both really good cooks. My mom always made Thanksgiving stuffing two ways. She always uses pork sausage and always from scratch, but one regular baked and one stuffed in the turkey. The one in the turkey always went first. I think just because of that moist, meaty, smoky flavor from being in the bird. Usually on Thanksgiving I dont cook, but everyones in the kitchen helping out. One Thanksgiving at my moms house, I was in charge of the gravy. I was in love with balsamic vinegar and I thought Id put a little bit in but the bottle didnt have a pour spout and so it just all dumped out. I thought Id ruined Thanksgiving but Mom fixed it. I dont know what she did. I really love family Thanksgiving. I spent years cooking in the Caribbean and I really missed Thanksgiving at home.
