October 2016
The trip was great, just enough time to hit the stores we were interested in. You need to ensure you know what stores you want to visit as the mall is very big and can be confusing,
July 2016
Really good, would go again got loads of bargains better to go in the sales season
June 2016
Good trip for us to shop. An hour plus away from Milan and fuss free. Just hop on the bus!
June 2016
The foxtown tour was great. Very great high end stores. Perfect place to shop. Great comfortable bus
April 2016
Loved it. I had been to Foxtown by train the previous year. It was tiring. With this tour, it was very comfortable . All we had to do was relax and within a short time we were at our destination. As soon as we got back to Milan, as I got down from the bus, I saw a friend of mine , whom I had not seen in 32 years. What a miracle.She lives in England and was on vacation too. If I hadn't taken this tour, I would never have bumped into my long lost friend. Reunited after 32years. I recommended the tour to her and she took it the next day. She really loved it. The shops are lovely and there are great deals!!!
March 2016
Fantastic tour...I enjoyed it...the driver was so good to remind meto prepare my camera for the view of Lake Como...I bought a nice purse in Foxtown Outlet.
March 2016
Definitely worth the trip! Smooth and comfortable ride. Perfect time in the centre.
February 2016
Careful diver, smooth ride, efficient service!
October 2015
Exactly what we expected. we were able to purchase designer pockets books for about half the price of the shops in Milan and we were able to sit down to an authentic swiss fondue lunch! Everyone was pleased. My only complaint is that the time left at the outlets could have been shortened by and hour or two
August 2015
Hussle free shopping experience. Just step on the bus to bring you to the shopping outlet. The tour gave sufficient time for shopping.

A rinse-off treatment that promotes thicker-looking hair and specifically targets damaged parts of hair to avoid the apparent loss of density associated with the build-up that occurs with traditional conditioning agents. Traditional conditioners almost always cause an immediate thinning of hair fibre and also result in buildup of conditioning agents over time. This formula combines a targeted conditioning system that does not coat the entire hair and focuses only on damaged areas that require support, while supplementing hair and scalp with nutrients to help hair look its healthiest, densest and fullest now and with continued use. This product uses pure Black Fulvic Acid which can slightly affect very light blonde shades of hair.Old Price:

Pure truth can only come from your own heart, your own mind, your own soul or whatever you want to call it. Noone else's words can ever change that. They may help form your own kind of truth, but as long as you believe in your heart and don't take others' truth for granted, there is no greater, truer truth than your own. Truth is relative, not absolute, and truth shapes the reality you choose to live in.
How would you define truth? How would you define reality?
Want to reply? Sign In or Create an Account
Empirical fact is still relative, so relative truth is as far as we could go imho ;)
ultimate truth would therefor be an assumption therefor … well not that.

Re: Help me please!!!!!
Welcome to Android Central! From where are you downloading these songs? Are they from Google Play? Or does MP3 Player Pro have some kind of music download service as well?
Also, let us know what phone you have.

Posted on 11/28/2012 12:20:34 PM PST by GlockThe Vote
"You know it's going to be boring, but you just don't appreciate how boring it actually is," one first-year associate at a large New York law firm tells us.
The young lawyer describes long days of reading dense papers, which he only barely understands, and which seem to have no bearing on any actual case.
"Doc review is the most boring experience of your life, but strangely nerve-wracking because you know you're messing it up, but you just can't bring yourself to care that you're messing it up. And you're probably going to mess it up even if you did care, so [screw] it, why even bother," he says.
This is why Biglaw is often described as "soul crushing" and why even as many lawyers struggle to get jobs one recent grad is complaining about the one he has.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
for later
"...So I get there; from roughly 9:30 to 10:15 I check my email, read the Internet; then I do whatever meaningless task I've been assigned for the day. And I haven't actually even had that much work, so it's not that I can complain that I'm working too hard, because I'm really not."
That sounds very Office Space-ish.
It also sounds like a very inefficient business model. What's the point of hiring young talent if you're not going to keep them busy? I get that they do the grunt work, but if there's not enough grunt work to keep everyone busy, shouldn't they lay a few people off?
"Doc review is the most boring experience of your life, but strangely nerve-wracking because you know you're messing it up, but you just can't bring yourself to care that you're messing it up. And you're probably going to mess it up even if you did care, so [screw] it, why even bother," he says.
Poor slob. He ought to take a crack at reading the 13,000 plus pages related to Obama Care. Then lets talk. I wonder if Pelosi has ever read it? As we know, she said we have to pass the thing so we'll know what's in it.
I truly doubt anyone has ever read this crap.
Agreed - I work solo and am the AP / AR / Sales ? Marketing / HR etc and the lawyer to boot!
I like what I do since i deal w the clients and cases beginning to end on my own terms.
These big law firms are big rackets. They rip off clients like crazy - overpay and overbill associates, etc.
Boring...he should stand a mid-watch on the back end of a carrier in the north sea.
My husband's cousin is a lawyer. Says that 75% of the job is reading. I read once that lawyers have the highest amount of quitters in the business field. There's more former lawyers around than any other professional occupation. Not sure if it's true, but my husband and I used to eat at an upscale restaurant, and our favorite server was a former lawyer. He told us he was never happier. He HATED law, and for that reason, too much reading. Doesn't anyone tell these people at the jump?
1) Because of the rush to passage, no Congressional history exists that would describe the meaning or explain the purpose of this section, thus no one is sure why it's in the law, who put it there, or what it means.
2) The language is ambiguous. There are two possible interpretations of the language:
Interpretation #1: The placement of the comma before the word "or" means that the words preceding it ("individual, company, business, nonprofit entity") are not modified by the words,"issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage."
Interpretation #2: If you disregard the placement of the comma, or otherwise disagree with the above interpretation, the entire opt-out section applies only to entities "offering group or individual health insurance coverage" -- including individuals, companies, etc.
3) Final interpretation may be left to judges if Section 1555 is used in a legal challenge.
4) Given all the mandates in the rest of the law (the totality of the law), some judges may dismiss this section, but others may not.
5) For states with health care freedom acts that challenge Obamacare in court, Section 1555's ambiguity may have to be considered and a legal interpretation made.
Why can't he just hang a shingle and start his own?.............
Welcome to entry level jobs. It's the sucky end of the stick where you prove you're worthy to do interesting stuff.
I'm also a solo practioner; have my office on the Courthouse square in a suburban county. I thank God that He didn't curse me with too many brains as I would likely have had the Big Firm draw me in with the lure of the large salary. And in so doing I would have sold my soul. Instead, I deal with real clients and not stacks of dry paper. For the associates at these firms, the Courtroom is a rumored place far far away. I'm in the Courtroom almost every day, and it is there that I feel more alive than anywhere else. More importantly, I am not a slave to a billable hours sheet in an office an hour's commute away. I am free to spend time with my wife (who is an absolute saint), and I coached my sons' sports teams. I am active in my church and in my community. Most importantly, I can post on Free Republic.
Big Law Firms are nothing but a pyramid scheme, started back in the 1960's in California and spread later to the rest of the country. The partners in the Big Firms realized that the key to wealth was not billing more hours themselves, but instead hiring scores of young lawyers as cannon fodder out of the law schools, and then profiting off their billing hours. In order to make the scheme work, they needed the law schools to open the gates and flood the market with an annual oversupply of new lawyers. The law schools were all to keen to participate, as it allowed them to grow, too.
Thus, the Big Firm brings in a score of new lawyers each year, and sweats them to death. Many of them are then discarded five years later after they've been burned out, often having mental problems, divorce, and substance abuse issues. Their dead husks are replaced by the fresh young lawyers just out of law school. The really unlucky ones become "junior partners" where the cost of "buying in" to the partnership causes them to work even more hours, and for the 10 years they buy in they actually take home less money. They are tortured longer.
Like I said, it's a pyramid scheme. I have been truly blessed by God that His plan for me was not to fall into that pit.
Well Glock(like the name have 2 myself) it works like this. He only is billable only 10 hours a week, give him a promotion and charge 4 times as much.
reminds me of the lawyer trying to prove up his fees before the judge and he asked for $300 an hour. The judge said he was too young to rate that fee..the lawyer's associate responded but he has billed for hours far in excess of his age...
Oh they're told, but nobody ever thinks they're going to wind up the stable boy, they always think they're going to be the general. And if they do well eventually they do get to be the general, but you always start in the stables. Entry level in any field is the manure work. That's what young people don't get, when the guy explaining the reality of their field says "for every guy doing this awesome stuff that's why you chose this field there's a hundred doing stuff that makes your classwork seem fun" what they hear is "you'll have a hundred guys doing all the scutwork while you get to do all the awesome stuff". Young people are filled with dreams and even when you tell them the reality they don't listen because they're dreaming.
If somebody wrote it, then somebody read it.
You can bet when the time comes. (which means it is too late to stop it) we will find out a lot of things that are in it.
Right now some liberal jerk is sitting on something he cannot wait to spring on us.
What this man is comlaining about is that lawyers write things so that lay people cannot read it and many times lawyers cannot decipher it either.
The schools bs the students and set unrealistic expectations.
The kid is cut out for congress.
I hear what you're saying. My son, fresh out of college, could only get a job putting tires on cars at Tire Barn. Dirty, exhausting work. But it was that or nothing. After nine months, he landed a job at a heating & cooling supply warehouse, and in February he will replace the shipping manager. I'm convinced he got the job because he proved that even with a college degree, he's willing to get his hands dirty. And he also proved he's dependable, competent and reliable. So his career is progressing.
That's how it's supposed to go. At Big Law, however, it appears that the dirty work is an end to itself, and it's a deliberate plan to burn out and replace these young entry level attorneys. They are being used and discarded.
The problem you run into in big law is that everybody above you in the food chain has proven to be skilled in dissecting language and redefining simple words to mean something else. So they've carefully crafted a system to keep them up and others down. But there's still a path, even if it lead out the door to private practice. The key is don't actually get burned out, people discard themselves.
Office Space
The Firm
The Verdict.
Soul crushing, ruined social lives, boring work, doing the grunt stuff, while the full partners make the big bucks.
The young lawyer describes long days of reading dense papers, which he only barely understands, and which seem to have no bearing on any actual case.Excuse me - Isn't part of the training to become a lawyer supposed to teach them how to fully understand dense papers?
My wife's office was in the same building as a guy like that until last year. You could really tell when that guy's clientele were on the elevator with you. They were the ones who looked like they had no business being in an upscale hi-rise office building.
Yeah they do, and not just on law degrees.
We were interviewing for a marketing/web content type person about 3 years ago. Pretty entry-level kind of role, paid between 30-35K right out of college.
We had a fresh grad come in to interview and she told us according to her school counselors, people in these kind of roles should be making 60-65K. We told her only after they have years of experience and if she expected that sort of salary as a fresh grad, they were talking about someewhere other than Houston, TX.
She was good, I'll give her that, but we passed on her, she would have been forever looking for that 60-65K position and would have left us in a heartbeat.
What these large firms get away with is ridiculous, but i blame the clients for permitting it.
Many mid level and smaller firms would give double the service at half the cost and get better outcomes if givin the chance.
Yup. I work for myself and cant imagine being in one of those sweat shops.
Been practicing for 20 years. Started out in a 3 lawyer shop, worked for a big firm, and now am with a mid-size (for my area) firm of 20 lawyers. When I started out, I took a paycut from my last paralegal position, which sucked, but because it was a small firm, I got to do a little of everything and figure out what I wanted to do. Made a couple lateral moves, the second to a 150 lawyer firm where I moved up the ranks and made lots of money, except when you broke it down to an hourly rate. I routinely billed over 200 hrs a month. Real time, no padding. I had one month where I billed 328 hours followed by a 283 hour month. 600 hours in just two months. I was never home. I was not happy. My wife used the opportunity to, um, "explore other options", if you know what I mean. It just wasn't worth it.
I am with a smaller firm now. I make good money, enough to be be happy, but I get into the office around 8:45 and leave at 5:30 almost every day, with few weekends working. My life is mine. I do mostly corporate/M&A and enjoy my job and enjoy my life with my new wife, and our two boys (and my daughter from the fisrt marriage).
I tell kids coming out of school to pass on the big firms and go to work for a smaller firm. That way, they get actual experience, work with clients, even go to court, as opposed to their friends who go to the big firms and get big bucks, but bill over 200 hrs a month, buried in paper or in the library with no client contact, no real work experience and no chance to really learn how to practice law. In the big firms, they do a partnership track review around the 3rd year. If you've kissed enough ass and get in with the right partners, you may be on the partnership track. If not, you will likely find yourself on the street with no income and a lifestyle dependent on an income of $125k a year... We get this 3rd year associates applying for a job... looking for $125 or 130K and they have no real legal experience. They can't draft a pleading or a contract, they've never done any real work. We tell them (as do others) that they are essentially first years and that the market for them is about half (or less) than what they are asking... but they bought the big house and the mercedes and they need the big bucks to pay the bills (along with their $150K in student loans). Its sad what happens to these kids. Many end up losing everything, including spouses.
Its not a glamorous life... the life of a young associate in a big firm just plain sucks. Many turn to drugs or alcohol. It truly sucks the life out of you.
I started out in two little ridiculous offices before creating my own little situation. No training nothing.
Learned EVERYTHING almost on my own and by screwing up.
Now 10 years later - I handle everything, litigation, closings, liens, but the construction lit and debt collection for subs is really what keeps me going.
Also no mention of the ultimate lawyer Test! Keep in mind that this was written in 6/11/2001, or at least that's the date on my file for it.
Name the Law School drop-out
Patrick Henry: Tried 1,100 cases from age 1931 ... Governor of the State of Virginia.
John Jay & John Marshall: Two of the most famous Supreme Court Justices at the foundation of the Republic.
Daniel Webster: Sec. of State. 1840-1842, son of Noah Webster the organizer of the first American Dictionary. A litigator so feared that other lawyers would withdraw rather than face Daniel Webster in court.
Abraham Lincoln & Steven F. Douglas: Remember the Lincoln / Douglas debates... Lincoln spoke for 90 minutes. Douglas rebutted for three hours...... image a politician today, saying anything cogent for 9 minute's.
Salman P. Chase: Sec. of State or Treasure during Abraham Lincoln Civil War administration.
Clarence Darrow: Chicago Attorney, The name most closely associated with the aggressive defense of the disenfranchised and the dispossessed.
Robert Morley: The head of the American Bar Association 1953-54.
Senator Strom Thurman: (Remember this article is from 2001, and Strom was very much alive) Who apparently was at the constitutional convention hes been around so long. Is still a Licensed member of the South Carolina Bar Association.
Answer is Clarence Darrow.
(None of the others went to a law school)
Now you sir; would you prefer to have your rights defended by the likes of Patrick Henry or Clarence Darrow, or would you prefer a public government schooled trained attorney like Richard Nixon, H.R. Hallderman or John Mitchell or even impeached William Jefferson Bly Clinton./font color
Different times, different national charachter.
if it weren't for lawyers, we wouldn't need lawyers
Everyone hates lawyers until you need one.
That's when you learn to hate them even more. like I said, if it weren't for lawyers, we wouldn't need lawyers. I also love how lawyers talk about billable hours. Most people get paid based on production and what they actually accomplish. Lawyers expect to get paid for hours, productive / useful, or not.
There is no easy way to do it since there are so many variables out of our control when it comes to litigation.
Many things are flat fee like will, closing, DWI or traffic matter, etc.
Most of my work is on contingency.
That reminds me of the joke about the young lawyer who died and was arguing with the devil about he was too young to die. The devil says, "Well, it shows here on my list you're 87 years old." The lawyer replies, "Whoa, I'm only 42. Where did you get the idea I was 87 years old?"
The devil replied, "We added up your billable hours."
It's not just in law. Software development is the same way. You go work for a small operation, and you're doing everything from doing client presentations, writing documentation, writing big pieces of software. Go to a big operation, and they're likely to pigeonhole you into a very narrow specialty.
It's the grunt work that lands approx. 30% of a multi-million dollar settlement. What have they got to lose by keeping him on?
As a side note, have you noticed the increasing number of attorneys advertising "if you've ever been ........." regarding a class action lawsuit? Keep this in mind, that law firm collected 30% of the settlement while all the alleged plaintiffs merely got dollars............
When I was about 13 I thought I would become a lawyer, mainly from watching Perry Mason on TV. I quickly realized how incredibly boring lawyering is when I took a look at some law books. To this day I go into a complete state of ennui just looking at a law book.
Some law firms do that with their paralegals, too -- I know some great paralegals, very qualified and excellent at what they do, but are they really worth $150/hour??
Dollars? I have a class action check for 14 cents. That's right, 14 cents. The lawyers got over $600,000.

The Jumper is easy to put together, but it doesn't deliver on the bouncing. And the housing spring squeaks too loud.
My 9 month old is loving it!!!!
My three month old baby loves this jumper. She still cant jump so much but she loves to swing her self and turn in it. She stays in it for a long time giving me time to do some cleaning and cook as well. We are both very happy and its a great price as well.
I wasn't able to use this product. My house is older and the doorways are too large. The trim on the doorways is about 6 inches. The clamp isn't big enough. The product does say...fits most doorways but I wish they made some sort of extension kit for it. I sadly had to return it. I was disappointed cause I know my daughter would have loved it. Very easy to assemble...and disassemble by the way.
my 5 month old grandaughter absolutely loves this,,,she jumps for hours..and has even fell asleep in it...so simple to install/use..uses tension claw clamp...easily adjusts straps for proper height off ground...great product...great costs..could not be happier
My husband and I bought this for our 3 1/2 month old a few weeks back as her Valentine's Day present because she wanted to stand up constantly. She loves it and so do I, however the only issue I have with it is it tends to get twisted. The inner bars that go under the padding for the support rotate on her jumper making it crooked each time I go to put her in it which leads her to not sit exactly right. It's simple to fix however, just twisting it back to the correct position and she's ready to go. So comfy, she's actually almost fallen asleep in it a couple of times!
I would recommend this product only for babies that have long legs... the seat is designed so that the space between the legs is wide and spread apart kind of far... but my daughter has fun when she uses it.
This is a good jumper. I like the girly pattern and the price is excellent. The quality is very good and it's very safe. I was super nervous about buying a doorway jumper - but it's perfect, and it's not going to come off the door way it's extremely secure! my 4 1/2 month old really likes this. her favorite thing is standing on our laps so this gives her the opportunity to stand and practice bouncing. we are probably going to buy a jumperoo/excersaucer her soon since it gives her more options and ways to play. but i'm sure once she gets older she will love JUST bouncing and we will rely on this a lot more.
My daughter is 4 months old and really to small for this so we stuffed some blankets around her and she loves it! she cant jump yet but she can spin in a circle and it entertains her. I would recommend this I know we will get a lot of use out of it!
A very good price for a well built product. I liked the transaction and it shipped quickly.
My baby is now 3 months old and weighs about 13 pounds. She loves to sit in it & push her feet down on the floor. I know she will love it more when she is bigger.
The only problem is we have an old house & the doorways are 6" wide at the top where you attach it to and this doesn't fit on any of them except the one that is only 5". Other than that, I really like the product!
6 month old granddaughter loves it. Easy to use. Clamp on clamp off over door way. Helps builds sense of balance and leg co-ordination in our little angel. r
Durable product. When they first start out in it they kinda just spin around and not really bounce in it. I would recommend it.
Is has taken my 5 month old granddaughter a little time to catch on but she is now starting to get WILD in it. So cute.
I received this as a christmas present for my daughter. I would have to say that I was not a big fan. I found it difficult to get my daughter in and out of the jumper. She seemed to drown in it and wasn't tall enough to put her arms on the outside. And then I wanted until she was a little older and with her being bigger it made it even a little more difficult to put her in and out of it. I unfortunately would not recommend this product to my friends. I think that it is a great idea but should be easier to use.
I used a Johnny Jump-up for my babies and want my niece to experience the same benefits. This is the frills free model but it isn't lacking in any of the fun a child can have while using it. Just be sure your door frames are able to take the weight of your baby in the jump-up. Only good for the ages of six months to eight months because the baby will start to reach for the door sides.
I read all the reviews on this jumper before I purchased it. Half the people liked it, half the people didnt. My suggestion, dont buy this unless you want to do some serious construction on your doorways. The clasps on the top are just a weird rounded shape, not made like they used to be. Im not sure I feel comfortable with the way it hangs. It may be going back
My 5 month old loves it! It gives her the ability to sit upright and gives her the ability to see what is going on around her!
love it! baby loves it! fun. just watch them cuz she moves so much, one time she bonked her head on the door frame
A fun way to entertain the little one while cleaning. Easy set up and take down.

When Google introduced Host Card Emulation (HCE) with Kit Kat back in November, some of us looked at the move as them flipping the bird to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, along with their Isis Mobile Wallet application. For over a year, companies like Verizon refused to allow Google Wallet to work on their phones, denying that it had anything to do with their investment in Isis and everything to do with the app trying to access a phone's Secure Element (SE). With HCE and Kit Kat, that need to access a Secure Element was removed, meaning there was no longer a way for mobile payment services to be blocked. HCE quickly became the future of mobile payments, something MasterCard and Visa are now fully behind. (more…)

Google Wallet Update Incoming, Loyalty Card Scanning and Notifications in Tow
I wish I could say I used Google Wallet to pay for stuff regularly, but because my encounters with NFC payment terminals are infrequent at best, I have to rely on plastic cards way more than I'd prefer. I have, however, relied on the app's loyalty card storage a couple of times, but entering the information by hand was such a chore. Thankfully, Google is about to make things a little easier by incorporating a new scanning feature into the Google Wallet application.
Google Wallet Update Adds Support for Wallet Card, Lets You Add New Cards by Taking Their Picture
Yesterday, we first spotted signs of the arrival of a physical Google Wallet card, even providing you instructions on how to order you own a few hours before Google made it official. This morning, they pushed out a Google Wallet app update (build 2.0-R141-v14) to support those cards that we all ordered, making it easy to spend your Wallet cash balance in the more traditional sense without your phone or app. The update also makes it easy to add new credit cards by scanning them with your camera. You could argue that this is the best part of the update, as there is nothing more tedious than manually typing in credit card info.
We'd imagine that this update also brings Tap & pay powers to Kit Kat devices, but most of you had that thanks to the Nexus 5 Google Wallet .apk. (more…)
Google Wallet Card is Official, Wallet Users Can Sign Up Now for Physical Cards
A few months back, rumors of a physical Google Wallet card surfaced, suggesting that Google would give you a credit/debit card that could access your Google Wallet balance and be used for purchasing goods. We waited and waited, expecting it to show up at some point as a single card you could use in your wallet since Google Wallet the NFC mobile payment service had yet to take off. For whatever reason, it never did arrive – well, until this morning. One of our readers was prompted with an option to order one, which led us into digging a bit more to see if the service was really live. Turns out it is. We've already ordered ours.
How to: Get Google Wallet Tap & Pay Working on the Moto X With Kit Kat
We just got done installing Android 4.4 Kit Kat on our Verizon Moto X and realized after setting up Google Wallet that it wasn't showing up in our Tap & pay section. We also weren't seeing the option to be able to "tap and pay" in Google Wallet like we were sort of expecting once running 4.4. We mentioned in our quick overview that Google may need to push out an update to Google Wallet to get it to work with Kit Kat devices outside of the Nexus 5, since the N5 is running a newer version of Wallet than is currently available on Google Play. (more…)
Isis Mobile Wallet is Now Available Nationwide on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile
Isis Mobile Wallet, the mobile payment joint venture between Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T, has finally gone nationwide as of this morning. After what seemed like an eternity of testing, those who live in Salt Lake City, UT and Austin, TX are no longer exclusive members of this mobile payment community. Apps for each carrier's version of Isis are available on Google Play, along with showcases of the service in individual carrier stores. (more…)
Capital One Pulls Out of Isis Mobile Wallet, Not Much Left for This Delayed Payment System
A little over a week ago, we received the email you are seeing below, which is a statement from Capital One, informing us that they were leaving the Isis Mobile Wallet pilot test. As you all know, Isis is the mobile payment joint venture between Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T that is essentially the reason we all can't enjoy Google Wallet to its fullest. They have been working on this mobile payment system for what seems like forever, only launching in two test markets last year. With semi-recent word that they had a nationwide rollout planned before the end of 2013, we thought all was well. But with news of one of their biggest credit card partners leaving, what's left for Isis? (more…)
Hands-on With the New Google Wallet, Download Available
Google shocked us a bit this morning with the announcement of a new Google Wallet app that works on almost any device, as long as they are running Android 2.3 and above. The app may not be able to make NFC payments through all devices, but it does bring a loyalty cards locker, money-sending between email addresses, and Google Offers to your fingertips.
The update was supposed to begin rolling out as early as today, and sure enough it has. A handful of readers were able to grab the update immediately following Google's announcement, which means we have it for you to sideload should you be on the slow end of this staged rollout. (more…)

Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers news, rumors and injuries
Packers | Eddie Lacy had extensive surgery
Tue, 28 Feb 2017 05:54:05 -0800
Updating previous reports, Green Bay Packers impending free-agent RB Eddie Lacy (ankle) had extensive surgery to repair a ligament in his ankle in October, he confirmed in a podcast with ESPN's Adam Schefter. "I messed up my deltoid and widened the bone on my ankle, so I had to get two screws, two wires and a plate to fix it because I messed up my deltoid ligament," Lacy said. "That's the longest thing to heal. My healing process is 4-6 months, on the 26th (of February) it (was) the fourth month," Lacy also said the Packers have been vocal about bringing him back.
Fantasy Tip: Lacy could still see some run with the Packers if he comes back in shape. However, it's tough to count on him as anything more than an RB3 in fantasy.

Packers | JC Tretter could be too expensive for GB
Sun, 26 Feb 2017 07:51:18 -0800
The Green Bay Packers are interested in bringing back impending free-agent OT JC Tretter but the team might not be able to afford him. If another club offers him a starting job, Green Bay is unlikely to match the offer.

Packers | Eddie Lacy progressing well in recovery
Thu, 23 Feb 2017 15:44:25 -0800
Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy (ankle) ran publicly for the first time -- albeit in a pool during a rehab session at the University of Alabama -- since having ankle surgery a few months ago Thursday, Feb. 23.
Fantasy Tip: It looks like Lacy's injury that cost him 11 games of the 2016 season won't affect his status going into training camp. However, it remains to be seen where he'll end up, as the Packers may let him go into free agency. Lacy proved he can still be an effective starting running back, as he was averaging a career-high 5.1 yards per carry prior to going down with his ankle issue. His potential new situation will dictate where he should go in drafts next season.

Green Bay Packers OG T.J. Lang (foot, hip) is still recovering from a pair of injuries that he sustained during this past season -- a broken left foot that he reinjured in the team's NFC Championship Game loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and hip surgery that he had on Jan. 30. He remains on crutches following the latter procedure.

Packers | Jared Cook played well late in season
Mon, 20 Feb 2017 15:22:21 -0800
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent TE Jared Cook averaged 13.5 yards per catch over the final seven games of the regular season, which ranked third among tight ends in the NFL in the category.
Fantasy Tip: Cook could re-sign with the Packers this offseason but probably would receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the free-agent market. He was limited to 10 games in 2016 because of an injury but still finished the season with 377 yards and one touchdown. He could be a low-end No. 1 fantasy tight end if he re-signs with the Packers but may be a better No. 2 tight end in leagues.

Packers | Fines not motivating Eddie Lacy
Thu, 16 Feb 2017 21:04:27 -0800
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent RB Eddie Lacy has been fined over the last couple of seasons for not making weight by head coach Mike McCarthy.
Fantasy Tip: Weight issues and injuries have plagued Lacy in recent years, and despite some upside, he has become tough for fantasy owners to trust. Don't count on him being more than a flex option in 2017.

Packers | One-year deal in Eddie Lacy's future?
Sun, 12 Feb 2017 10:45:15 -0800
Impending free-agent RB Eddie Lacy is expected to get a one-year deal worth about $2 million was plenty of incentives in free agency this offseason, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Pete Dougherty.
Fantasy Tip: Dougherty received this information from an agent who has a client in the free-agent running back market, and it stands to reason. Lacy is a talented player, but weight struggles in each of the last two years has made it hard for the Green Bay Packers to trust him. It's hard to imagine Lacy landing a big contract anywhere else right now, so his best bet is probably to return to Green Bay on a prove-it deal. He'll be hard to trust as anything more than a flex option in fantasy, however.

Packers | Davante Adams healthy in 2016
Fri, 10 Feb 2017 20:58:19 -0800
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams tied for second in the NFL with 12 touchdown receptions in 2016, and QB Aaron Rodgers said Adams was able to produce because he was finally healthy.
Fantasy Tip: Adams still has the occasional drop, but he proved to be a valuable weapon for the passing attack, especially in the red zone. At worst, he should be a high-end WR3 in 2017.

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 07:05:33 -0800
Green Bay Packers WR Randall Cobb is entering a make-or-break year in 2017, according to beat writer Rob Demovsky.
Fantasy Tip: Cobb's numbers have fallen two years in a row. Granted, he has battled through injuries both seasons. The Packers have a couple of options developing at the position, and Davante Adams is in his walk year. Cobb will be a WR3 option with upside in fantasy in what will be a year he needs to make a statement.

Un-boxing Metroid Prime Trilogy
IGN just returned from Austin, Texas, where we came away from Retro Studios with one of the first retail copies (in the world) of Metroid Prime Trilogy. Even development heads at the company, none of whom had yet received their own retail versions of the epic compilation, marveled at our good fortune.
Metroid Prime Trilogy includes three celebrated titles starring famed bounty hunter heroine extraordinaire Samus Aran: the original Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. For Retro Studios, the games, now featured on a single dual-layered disc, are the collective result of 10 hard and rewarding years. For players, especially those who have never experienced the Prime titles before, Trilogy is 80-plus hours of the most engaging and immersive interactive entertainment that money can buy.

Does anyone know if this trilogy pack will read the saved game files from the Metroid Prime 3 solo game for Wii?
I suffered a decent loss when someone broke into my apartment a while back and took a large amount of my game collection… among it was my Metroid Prime 3 game, which I'd like to replace with this trilogy, but not if it means I can't pick up where I left off using the same saved game files.
Does this question make sense?

However, MP3:C copies should be easy to pick up on the extreme cheap after the Tril comes out.

... Next we decided to walk down past Dam square, and on into vondelpark for some more biking, figuring that would go more smoothly. It did, sort of. We walked a lot, much whining, saw lots of shops- one where Kurt found a really really sweet orange and blue Netherlands soccer jacket, but it was 140 euro, no way! We found a semi-secret church that we went into, and I read a little to the boys about how the Catholics were persecuted in like. 1500s? And had to go to church ...

I had always wanted to see the Anne Frank House/Museum but the lines were incredibly long and I resigned myself to not going since I wasn't able to buy advance tickets on line.

After visiting the Van Gogh museum I took a boat ride around the city's canals which ended close to ...

... As the Nazis rose to power in the 1930s, the director of this museum, David Roell, and one of its curators, William Sandberg, realised the need to protect works of art in wartime. So by the time Hitler invaded Holland, they'd had a bunker built in sand dunes near the coast. Many works of art from the museums, and many from private collections were entrusted to Sanberg's care, a testament to his integrity and the respect afforded him. Even Rembrandt's ...

Infrastructure, Jobs, Taxes, Transportation
What have we learned from 30 years of research on the productivity of public capital?
It's no exaggeration to say that U.S. infrastructure has seen better days. Among other problems, many bridges are crumbling and the electrical grid is fragile and outdated. The most recent American Society of Civil Engineers' report card gave the country's infrastructure an overall D-plus grade, with particularly low scores for inland waterways and levees (D-minus); roads, public transit and drinking water systems all earned Ds. To return to a state of good repair by 2020, the society estimated the United States would have to invest $3.6 trillion.
President Obama has made infrastructure one of his administration's priorities — the 2009 stimulus bill included more than $100 billion for public-works projects, but that was only a tiny fraction of the $2.2 trillion the ASCE said was then required (the price tag has since increased more than 60%). The President renewed his call for infrastructure investments in 2010 and most recently in March 2013.
A particularly thorny problem is funding. The gasoline tax was intended to fund highway construction and repair, but even as vehicle miles traveled have climbed, inflation and political resistance have eaten away at its value. The Congressional Budget Office has repeatedly warned that the highway trust fund will soon become insolvent unless spending is cut, gas taxes raised, or new funding sources are established. One option is mileage-based user fees. In the absence of political consensus, Congress has chosen quick fixes, including taking money from the U.S. general fund. Some state leaders have gone so far as to cancel major infrastructure projects that have significant long-term benefits rather than raise gas taxes.
Spending on infrastructure isn't just money spent, however. Improved roads could get commuters to work faster, a new rail line or highway can allow companies to flourish, and a more robust electrical-distribution system could save businesses money. A 2012 study from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco found that federal investments in infrastructure work had a positive "multiplier effect" on local GDP both immediately before projects and as long as eight years after.
A 2013 metastudy in the Journal of Economic Surveys, "What Have We Learned from Three Decades of Research on the Productivity of Public Capital?" analyzes the impact of public-capital investments on productivity — the way infrastructure spending affects economic growth in developed nations (members of OECD.) The researchers, Pedro R.D. Bom and Jenny E. Ligthart, examined 68 studies published between 1983 and 2008. The studies included a total of 578 estimates, which ranged from positive (investments increase productivity) to negative (they decrease it).
The study's findings include:
- Taking into account factors such as the depreciation rate and long-term interest rates, the results suggest that, "from a macroeconomic point of view, public investment in this type of public capital should be encouraged." The researchers conclude that infrastructure spending is "undersupplied" in developed countries.
- "The average output elasticity of public capital amounts to 0.106, after correcting for publication bias." Thus for every $10 of investment by the national government, productivity increases an additional $1.06.
- Public capital investments have the most benefit in the long term: "The short-run output elasticity of public capital installed by the national government is only 0.083. In the long run, however, if only core public capital is considered that is provided by lower levels of government, the output elasticity of public capital goes up to 0.193." A $10 investment would thus increase productivity by an additional $1.93.
- "Taking into account that the stock of public capital amounts to about 50% of GDP in OECD countries, a short-run output elasticity of 0.083 implies a marginal return of public capital of about 16%."
The researchers note that the indirect effect of public capital on employment and private capital formation, which are held constant in the estimation, are not accounted for in their metastudy.
Related research: A 2012 report from the RAND Corporation, "Mileage-Based User Fees for Transportation Funding," gives an overview of mileage fee system designs and strategies for transitioning from gas taxes. For states or localities that are just beginning to consider the idea of mileage fees, awareness of these strategies can help determine whether shifting from fuel taxes to mileage fees merits further consideration. For jurisdictions already engaged in detailed assessments of mileage fees, these concepts can help refine system design — with the ultimate aim of reducing costs and building public support.
Also of interest is a 2012 working paper from the International Monetary Fund, "Too Much Finance?" examined the relationship between the size of the financial-services sector — the antithesis of public-structure investments — and economic growth. It found that there is "positive and robust correlation between financial depth and economic growth in countries with small and intermediate financial sectors, but we also show that there is a threshold (which we estimate to be at around 80-100% of GDP) above which finance starts having a negative effect on economic growth." Potential reasons include increased economic volatility, a greater probability of financial crises, and the misallocation of resources even under good economic conditions.
