Verizon plans to complement its growing set of higher Quantum FiOS Internet speeds with a new Wi-Fi router that will support the multiple wireless devices consumers are using in their homes to access the Internet and other content.
Verizon is appealing to new potential FiOS subscribers with a new $50 video, broadband promotional bundle, but customers will need to be prepared for the price jump when the promotional period ends.
Even as management has "done some interesting things with FiOS services," Verizon's overall wireline business "lags the major wireline operators such as AT&T, Comcast and Cablevision," a Seeking Alpha analysis has concluded.
Verizon introduced a new loyalty plan earlier this year focused on adding value for FiOS customers called My Rewards+, an initiative designed to recognize a customer's service choice and provide rewards for certain behaviors. Now it appears that it's paying off.
With the rollout of new home video gateways from Arris, Verizon is introducing FiOS Quantum TV as a new brand for its cable programming service.
Verizon may see New York City as one of its key existing FiOS growth markets, but it claims that building owners are not letting the telco's crews install the service, reports The New York World.
Verizon may have no immediate plans to enter new markets with FiOS, but in existing markets like California and Massachusetts, the service provider extended the service to a total of 2.4 million homes and businesses in 2013.
Verizon is reneging on a two-decade-old pledge to provide broadband service to every New Jersey household, officials in rural Southern New Jersey claim.
Verizon may have curtailed any new FiOS expansions, but in Connecticut and New York it continued to put the fiber to the premises (FTTP)-based service into the hands of more users, making it available to a total of 3.7 million homes and businesses in both states as of the end of 2013.
Verizon may be preparing to deploy a FiOS Quantum Gateway and Zigbee home automation module supplied by Irvine, Calif.-based GreenWave Reality, FCC test documents obtained by FierceCable indicate.

Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 454

I find it very strange that the people I have converted (mostly not too tech-savvy) to using Firefox, still have to make re-installs themselves.
Point taken, but let's bear in mind that this POC can't evolve into a worm. It can't even evolve into an exploit now that the only site on the default whitelist no longer exists.
That's why they didn't put out a stop-gap fix release at the beginning of the week--the threat had passed completely.

It'll appear in the list of locales here [188.8.131.52] when it's ready, but it looks like we limeys are stuck with 1.0.3 (or speaking American English) until then.
When you upgrade to a new version of Firefox all of your Extensions and Themes will be disabled until Firefox determines that either a) they are compatible with the new release or b) there are newer versions available that are compatible. This is because Firefox changes from release to release and as such the ways in which some extensions integrate changes, meaning there can be problems when running an older extension with a newer version of Firefox.

Them PHS60 webloggers,
both silent types and pettifoggers,
have rallied around
a cause as profound
as funding another half-decade of PHS60 website content and all the good things – and other things too sometimes – that it augers.
[Just this quickly, I've received pledges from 9 classmates; hoping for a total of 20. We're approximately 46% of the way to our goal, and the sun ain't set on Day 2. Thanks y'all.]
"'Tis The Season" [published Dec. 11, 2014]
'Twas the night of sequester and all thru the House
Parried Dems & Republicans, minions and mouths.
The stock in their competence waxed, then it waned.
Ere long my scant confidence entirely drained.
Would country survive this long, contentious night?
Did anyone care who was wrong or who right?
Were our country's finest a'split or uniting?
Would we see an end to their partisan fighting?
Then word from on high - just to help with the scorin' -
Sprang from the warm heart of Elizabeth Warren.
Consenting to guide or to chide or deride,
She seemed as forlorn as a church-jilted bride.
Then what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Obama and Boehner a'grin ear to ear.
I saw both exhausted but seeming alright.
I witnessed a true Christmas miracle tonight.
Such difference a day, or election day, makes.
Despite learning nothing from prior mistakes.
I take this plain lesson from such folderol:
I wish Peace on Earth, and Good Will to all.
May your days be merry and bright. MAGFAY
Happy New Year to all. Be safe. So looking forward to the reunion.
Love you.
Hazel Jane Dickens (June 1, 1925 – April 22, 2011) was an American bluegrass singer, songwriter, double bassist and guitarist. Her music was characterized not only by her high, lonesome singing style, but also by her provocative pro-union, feminist songs. Cultural blogger John Pietaro noted that "Dickens didn't just sing the anthems of labor, she lived them and her place on many a picket line, staring down gunfire and goon squads, embedded her into the cause." The New York Times extolled her as "a clarion-voiced advocate for coal miners and working people and a pioneer among women in bluegrass music." With Alice Gerrard, Dickens was one of the first women to record a bluegrass album.
Dickens was born in Montcalm, Mercer County, West Virginia on June 1, 1925, the eighth of eleven siblings born to a mining family.
In the early 1950s she moved to Baltimore. She met Mike Seeger, younger half-brother of Pete Seeger and founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers and became active in the Baltimore-Washington area bluegrass and folk music scene during the 1960s.
During this time she also established a collaborative relationship with Mike Seeger's wife, Alice Gerrard, and as "Hazel & Alice" recorded two albums for the Folkways label: Who's That Knocking (And Other Bluegrass Country Music) (1965) and Won't You Come & Sing for Me (1973). Dickens and Gerrard were bluegrass bandleaders at a time when the vast majority of bluegrass bands were led by men. Hazel & Alice broke up in 1976 and Dickens pursued a solo career where her music and songwriting became more political.
She appeared in the documentary Harlan County, USA and also contributed four songs to the soundtrack of the same film. She also appeared in the films Matewan and Songcatcher.
Dickens received the Merit Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association in 1994 and was the first woman to do so. In 2001 she was presented with a National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts.
I had the pleasure of seeing her perform about 5-6 years ago (maybe longer; my memory of time frames is really spotty).
Angelus Gay "Gail" Sanders, 72, of Bowling Green passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015, at Mary Washington Hospital.
Gail was born in Princeton, W.Va., on Sept. 19, 1942, and attended Princeton High School. She was happily married to Douglas Sanders for 55 years. She was a military wife for 16 years, raising her children while Doug was away for more than a year at a time on assignments with the Navy. She was a member and deacon at Calvary Baptist Church in Bowling Green. Gail was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and was active in the Red Hat Society.
Survivors include her husband, Douglas Sanders; three children, Ron Sanders (Patty), Larry Sanders (Lori) and Sharon Loftin (Steve); a brother, Billy Demont; five grandchildren, Jami, Isac, Allison, Michael and Dawn (Jody); two great-grandchildren, Sarah and Jacob; and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 7, at Storke Funeral Home in Bowling Green. A funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 8, at Calvary Baptist Church, with burial to follow in Greenlawn Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, 383 Main Ave., 5th Floor, Norwalk CT 06851; or Calvary Baptist Church, Box 294, Bowling Green, VA 22427. Online condolences may be left for the family at storkefuneralhome.com.

Becky, the cost, but more so the traffic last year in the Bradenton/Sarasota area last year is what convinced us not to return. I like your analogy to "our traffic looks like a football game just got out". I was reminded of the traffic in Atlanta and/or any other big city at rush hour. The other problem is that the people can't drive moving across several lanes without signaling. Also, there are some alcohol-related- issues prevalent. Kay's older sister (81) and her husband (90) live in Bradenton and go out twice a week with friends of their age for the "early bird specials". They meet at someone's home and have at least two drinks or glasses of wine before they get into their SUV's with walkers and wheelchairs to convoy to the eating establishment. They have a couple of drinks with dinner and then return to the host/hostesses home for a night of card or board games. They are scary!!!!

In town surrounded by quicksand, an outlaw from Vash the Stampede's past has resurfaced after twenty years. His name is Gasback – and he's looking to cause a little trouble. It seems Gasback has a serious beef with the town's mayor, who's paying dozens of bounty hunters to protect his turf. One of those hired guns is a beautiful woman with a vendetta against Gasback. Will she get a shot at revenge? Maybe, if she can get through Gasback's bodyguard, Wolfwood. And what's Vash got to do with this mess? Nothing much – except for the fact that he personally set off the entire chain of events two decades ago!

At its Legislative Conference, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) called on Congress to authorize a $100.4 billion federal transit program over six years, which would grow the current $10.7 billion annual program to $22.2 billion by 2020.
Additionally, APTA's plan calls for a number of policy changes in the program that will ensure that the industry provides effective and efficient public transportation.
"The industry has come together and developed a consensus recommendation that creates American jobs and addresses the growing demand for public transportation," said Peter Varga, chair of APTA and CEO of the Rapid in Grand Rapid Michigan. "Our future is riding on public transportation and we are moving forward to work with Congress to implement this plan that will help our local communities grow."
The return on investment of its recommendations will result in an additional 1.1 million jobs created or sustained annually; $66 billion in business sales generated yearly; and $9.5 billion in local, state and federal tax revenue generated each year, according to APTA.
"This multi-modal plan we are recommending fosters community growth by driving economic development and revitalizes neighborhoods," said APTA President/CEO Michael Melaniphy. "Increasing investment in public transportation and roads is essential for growing our economy in the U.S. and remaining competitive in a global economy."
Some highlights of the APTA recommendations for authorization of the federal transportation funding bill includes:
In support of its recommendations to Congress, the association also launched a new nationwide integrated outreach campaign called "Where Public Transportation Goes, Communities Grow." It features research based advertising, public relations and social media as well as a digital grassroots outreach initiative.
The energy will be used to help power the vehicles and run the climate control systems, lights, ramps and wheelchair lift while the buses are stopped, eliminating the need for idling.
The Non-Emergent Medical Transportation contracts are for the Oregon Health Authority's Tri County MedLink and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services Managed Care Network's Family Health Network.
The Titan800 Retractor System is designed to meet the latest WC18 industry regulations, which take effect December 2015.
The Final Rule applies to public entities providing fixed route, dial-a-ride and complementary paratransit services. It establishes that an individual's disability cannot preclude a public transportation entity from providing full access to its service except where doing so would fundamentally alter the service.
Following unanimous approval by the SFMTA board in January, the SFMTA has worked tirelessly to meet the city's demand for this program. In just over one month, the SFMTA has processed more than 38,000 applications for the Free Muni program expansion.

It's Not Just the Economy, Stupid!
Given the awful state of the American economy, featuring a four-year high unemployment rate and an increasingly crushing national debt …
Given that America is at least as hated in the Muslim world as it was when George W. Bush was president — despite the Obama policy of obsequious rhetoric directed toward that world …
Given the virtually unprecedented tension between the United States and Israel, its closest ally in the Middle East …
Given the complete failure of sanctions to stop Iran from its pursuit of an atom bomb …
Given the spectacle of European financial collapse — and very possibly the end of the Euro — owing to the inevitable failure of the very type of welfare state that the president and the Democratic Party advocate …
Given the lack of any of the promised progress in unifying America politically and racially (if anything, the country is more divided than ever) …
Given the huge growth in the number of Americans receiving payments from the government, and the growth in the amount of those payments …
a Republican candidate should not merely win in the November elections, he should win in a landslide.
Yet, polls show the candidates more or less tied nationally and President Obama winning in most "battleground" states. Assuming the polls are valid, how is one to explain this?
There are two interrelated explanations.
1. The campaign has focused almost exclusively on the unemployment rate, on "jobs" and "job creation."
2. Many Republicans and many conservatives — including, too often, Mitt Romney — do not know how to make the case for conservative values.
Yes, Americans want a president who can fix the economy. But even more so they want a president who has a vision for the country.
Unfortunately, with the exception of Ronald Reagan, no Republican presidential candidate in our lifetime has articulated the distinctive American values system, or what we call conservatism.
Indeed, the senior George Bush actually disparaged such talk as "the vision thing." He consequently became one of only two presidents since Herbert Hoover to be denied a second term. Along with raising taxes after promising not to, his lack of a vision for the country was a major reason.
If the 2012 election is truly the most important in our lifetime, if not in modern American history, isn't running for president on the issue of job creation alone insufficient?
If most Americans believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction, doesn't it behoove the Republican challenger for the presidency to explain why that is so in as broad and compelling a way as possible?
That Mitt Romney doesn't offer precise plans as to how he will fix the economy and create millions of jobs is understandable. When George W. Bush explained how he would fix social security, the Democrats demagogued his plans and handed him — and the country — a defeat.
But precisely because he doesn't offer details about his plans, Mitt Romney must run on the big issue of the direction of the country.
And the number one issue must be the size of the state. America was founded on the belief that the citizen must be free as possible and that such freedom is possible only if the government is as small as possible.
The bigger the state, the smaller the citizen.
Every Republican candidate should be repeating that truth in every speech.
Why? Because the American experiment is on trial this November:
–Are we to remain the heirs of the American Revolution or become heirs to the French Revolution?
Do we want to take care of ourselves, our families, and our communities — or do we want, as in Europe, the government to do so?
–Is it moral or compassionate to saddle our children and grandchildren with a crippling national debt?
–Is it moral or compassionate to keep printing dollars, which both devalues the savings of all Americans and imposes a tax on all Americans, especially on the poorest?
These are the questions Romney must pose every day and in many of his ads. Only when Americans have to answer these questions will a sufficient number of them vote Republican this November.

canning anaheim peppers what happened!!!??
I sure got a bumper crop of anaheims this year. I have three 20 gal tubs full. I thought I would try canning them. I roasted and removed the skins. All was going very well. I filled up my first batch of jars and put them in the canner at 10lbs for 35 min. When I removed the lid all of my juice has sucked out of my jars and into the water. My jars seem to be sealed but I don't trust it because there is very little liquid left in them. I opened a jar and the peppers are all mushy. What did I do wrong? Would I be better off to freeze them? I gotta hurry and do something.
Peppers do turn to mush if pressure canned. 35 minutes will turn them into total mush. Freezing is OK, or a pickling instead. The use of a vinegar brine can offer you the option of a very short processing time, and it doesn't even have to be in a presure canner.
They are safe if you pressure canned them and they are sealed. They lose liquid if you didn't leave enough headspace or it can be due to fluctuation in pressure. Too quick of a rise or lowering can cause loss of liquid.
Freezing in ziplocs works well.
They will be soft if you can them.
I have canned many many jars of roasted anaheims. Yes they get mushy but that is how they are when you buy a can of green chiles in the store. They are the same thing. I use them in casseroles and our famous turkey tacos as well as my enchilada sauce. If you were wanting to use them for chile rellano (sp?) you will have a hard time with these. I recommend a chile rellano casserole instead. All the flavor, lots less work!
I've pressure canned, I've pickled, I've frozen, but the best way for me (by far) is dehydrating. Quality is good and storage is a snap.
Of course, I've been accused of trying to dehydrate anything that isn't nailed down... Not true, not true at all...
Here, Kitty, Kitty... wanna see the nice dehydrator trays?
Just went out and picked all the rest of my peppers, two bushles. A mix of sweet cherry, bell, pimento, and pepperoncini. Some should ripen indoors and turn red, especailly the pimentos and bells. These get roasted on my BBQ grill right on the heat bars. They get roasted with some whole, unpeeled onions, and whole garlic. All this gets peeled and pureed with some red balsamic vinegar. I add a little seasoning like rosemary and oregano. It makes for a really tasty red pepper spread. Second batch coming soon.
Speaking of garlic, I had missed a few bulbs when I harvested last years plantings this summer. I just dug up the missed ones, as they were sprouting greens. I replanted these in a new area and hope they survive the coming winter. I wasn't planning on growing garlic this coming season, so these are a surpise crop that should hopefully grow well for next summer. I did have one VERY UNUSUAL garlic bulb that failed to form cloves. It was solid all around and there was no seperate cloves that I could see. It was really odd and had a shape just like all the others, but once peeled it had only a single outer skin and no inner skin seperating any part of it. Wonder what kind that was??
Ken, I don't think that was any kind of garlic other than whatever type you planted, I think you just got a "round". It happens, sometimes, you get one big single garlic "clove" instead of many separate ones.
I usually save the rounds for planting next year, but they can be used just like the regular heads.
I have Anaheims/jalepenos/anchos and yellow banana chilies. I am planning to bar-b-que them using natural mesquite charcoal and putting them between hot wet towels until they are cool - they are really easy to peel that way. I was planning to can them but I can't seem to find a recipe. I did find one for roasted red peppers - it calls for a brine made of 1 cup water/1 Tablespoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon citic acid monohydrate-- I am not sure what this last ingredient is but it sound scary! Is there a substitute or should I just stick to freezing. Thanks!!
(PS - my link is not related to my question - I am searching for my birthbrother - please give it a look and pass it along to as many people as you can - he has to be out there somewhere - thanks very much!!!)

Hi! Sorry to steal your thread, but I saw that you are from the same zone as me and you have a nice variety of aloes. I'm doing an independant study project on aloe for my Biology of Plants class this semester and I was wondering if you could help me answer a few questions. If not, that's okay, just let me know either way.
Thank you,

The Los Alamos Chapter No. 63, Order of the Eastern Star, welcomed Worthy Grand Matron Sharron Longshore accompanied by Worthy Grand Patron Larry Lindberg to the chapter's official visit in their honor during the monthly meeting on Saturday.
The luncheon also honored the chapter's state officers, Pamela Mayne, Past Grand Matron and Grand Trustee and Larry Holmes, Grand Marshal.
Longshore and Lindberg have chosen The National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), which deals with bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's as charities to raise funds for this year.
The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both women and men may belong. Worldwide, there are approximately one million members under the General Grand Chapter (international governing body).
Worthy Matron Nina Laird and Worthy Patron Donald Davidson lead Los Alamos Chapter No. 63 this year.
For additional information about the official visit, contact Laird at 662-7580.

If a leading lady in a 1940s Hollywood film noir is smart, sweet, witty, beautiful and kind, two things are certain — one, every man onscreen will fall in love with her, and two, she has to die.
In "Laura" (1944), showing Thursday at Mesa Public Library, Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney) is a shrewd advertising executive with a young, innocent face and a string of romantic attachments that doth offend one particular male friend, Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb).
Or at least, she was. In the film's opening scene, Det. Lt. Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) visits Lydecker to question him about Hunt's murder. While they speak, Lydecker, an older gentleman with many connections and a penchant for flagrantly self-serving behavior, eventually rises from the bowels of his interrupted bath to dress and accompany the well-proportioned detective on the rest of his interviews.
We soon meet the other suspects: Hunt's jaunty fiancé Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price), her secretive aunt Ann Treadwell (Judith Anderson) and the victim's fiercely protective maid Bessie Clary (Dorothy Adams). They, like Lydecker, say absolutely nothing believable. The mystery broils beneath the repartee.
Who killed Hunt? It almost doesn't matter. The murder and its droll aftermath offer so much fun on their own.
The public is invited to an intimate brown bag performance featuring pianist Peter Pesic. Sponsored by the Los Alamos Arts Council, the show starts at noon April 1 at Fuller Lodge in the Pajarito Room.
J.S. Bach's "Goldberg Variations" are among his greatest and most familiar works, but in the 1970s, a previously unknown set of 14 canons on the Goldberg theme were discovered. The concert presents those canons to show how Bach developed the variations that follow.
Pesic has been a tutor at St. John's College in Santa Fe since 1980, where he has been musician-in-residence since 1984. Pesic himself has given 200 concerts, including first performances of works by Nicolas Roussakis, David Lang and Lawrence Cave.
He has performed the complete cycle of piano sonatas of Schubert four times (once at Harvard University in 1987), the complete Beethoven sonatas also four times, as well as a Mozart cycle, the complete solo keyboard music of J.S. Bach, Joseph Haydn, and Johannes Brahms, and the complete piano music of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern.
Pesic has played Bach's "Goldberg Variations" in Los Angeles and at Dartmouth College; he was the piano soloist with the Santa Fe Symphony in Beethoven's "Choral Fantasy."
As reading is an Asset and very soon we will be in the midst of some time when reading might be possible, I solicit your feedback on some titles.
I am interested in the books youth or adults should read to see light at the end of the tunnel. Oh, I don't mean that light, I mean the one like a ray of sun that parts through the storm clouds.
I've heard the term resiliency reading and I wonder what titles one should read to realize that things often do get better. Life isn't so bad after all, or anyone can overcome any odds, if they are willing to trudge through the battle.
At the recommendation of Los Alamos Middle School Librarian Lisa Whitacre, I read a book that would be appropriate for fifth or sixth graders called, "Wonder." It is also available with the Los Alamos County Library System.
It is a great resource to teach young students what it is like not only to be new to a school but also to be very, very different. It may also give parents a glimpse into parenting styles, too.
The next book is called, "Laughing at my Nightmare," by Shane Burcaw, who has spinal muscular atrophy that has control over most of his life, but not his brain and not his mouth.
The Los Alamos Photographer's Show. Through May 2 in the upstairs gallery of the Mesa Public Library.
Canyons, Mesas, Mountains, Skies: Heather Ward. Through May 16 at the Portal Gallery.

Also, be sure to check out the website at lafos.org, to get more information about volunteering, adopting, donating and more.
All adoptable pets are microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
Cattibre (female) and Spook (male) — They are 6 and 8 years old. They have lived together in one house for most of their lives and were recently surrendered due to an owner move. They are both shorthaired, black cats with white markings and are quite friendly. They may be adopted together or individually. If you choose to adopt them together, you will only need to pay the adoption fee for one! Both Cattibre and Spook love being petted, but they are not particularly lap cats — they would be a great option for someone looking for "independent companionship."

"Marching in March" is the theme of the Los Alamos Community Winds 2014-2015 season finale concert Saturday. The concert will take place at Crossroads Bible Church starting at 7 p.m.
"The repertoire the members have selected for this concert is intended to celebrate the heritage of the concert band," said Los Alamos Community Winds Director Ted Vives.
Music written for or performed by ensembles comprised only of wind and brass instruments dates back to antiquity. One of the first major works for "band" was G.F. Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks which LACW performed last season and which appears on its newest double CD compilation, "Retrospectives," which is available for sale at the upcoming concert.
With this concert LACW will be presenting one of the most important works of 20th century band literature; Percy Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy."
"Grainger was an interesting fellow," Vives said.

The historic centre of Zacatecas is listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO and it is a status it richly deserves. Established in the 16th Century, the city grew wealthy on the rich mines that surrounded the town and gave it a reason to exist. By the time that Royal Navy retread James Cook was sailing up the east coast of Terra Australis, Zacatecas was a wealthy, sophisticated city of beautiful buildings and shady plazas. ...

It was refreshing speaking English for the first time with other people, and they were a blast.

Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben GIbbard, who played a single intimate show in NYC during CMJ, kicked off his tour with Advance Base in Minneapolis last week and they're set to hit NYC TONIGHT (11/5) at Town Hall. Tickets for tonight's show are still available.
Ben also just recently released a video for "Teardrop Windows" off of his debut album, Former Lives (out now via Barsuk), which was directed by Tom Scharpling, who also recently directed videos for Aimee Mann, Nude Beach, and others. The video stars comedian Kurt Braunohler, who plays a record label executive that tries to turn Ben into a "bad boy." Check out that video and an updated list of dates below.

New Orleans Saints' Sean Payton Files For Divorce
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is having a terrible season and it is about to get worse. Not only is he suspended without pay for the entire 2012 NFL season but also he has recently filed for divorce from his wife Beth Payton.
Apparently, the filings for divorce do not report either of the Payton's names but it does include the initials PSP for Payton and BAP for Beth. The purpose of this was so the news would not be made public, however, that appears to have backfired. The divorce filings also list the date of which the Payton's were married, the birth dates of their two children, and the word Payton as part of the computer file containing the petition for divorce.
Payton has listed the grounds for divorce to be "discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
The original petition filed by Payton requested that he and his wife would divide their estate out of court and have joint custody of their children, Conner and Meghan. However, Beth has countered with a request that she be appointed the custodian "who has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the children in Tarrant County, Texas (where Payton's home is located)." She also goes on to ask that Sean Payton be only allowed to see the children "as necessary to protect the health and well-being of the children."
The counter-petition goes on to request Beth be the sole person who makes the decisions regarding the children's medical, legal, and educational obligations while Sean must pay the expenses of all three. This is very typical in divorce filings, especially in this case considering Payton has spent almost the entirety of his time with the Saints or preparing for the upcoming season while Beth takes care of the children. Payton reiterates this in his book "Home Team: Coaching the Saints and New Orleans Back to Life."
"Whenever you take a new coaching job and you have a young family, you really spend a year away from them, at least to some degree," Payton wrote in his book. "You're starting the new job. You have to sell your old house. So you lose a good part of a year."
As if separating from his wife is not bad enough, Payton will also be losing the entirety of his $5.8 million paycheck he was supposed to receive this season after his involvement in New Orleans' "Bounty Scandal" that took place over the last few seasons. He is not allowed to be around the NFL in any way or form until next year, which means a majority of his friends will not be able to help him through this difficult time.
It certainly does not seem Payton's life can get any worse considering the only two things he has ever known is family and football. The suspension from the NFL could have been a blessing in disguise because it would have given him more time to spend with his wife and kids, but apparently, all that free time at home has backfired.
To add salt to the wound the Payton's, who got married on July 11, 1992, will be missing their 20th anniversary by eight days.

America Ferrera To Make London Stage Debut
America Ferrera is to appear on the London stage in 'reasons to be pretty'.
America Ferrera is set to make her theatre debut in London's West End.
The 'Ugly Betty' actress is in talks to appear in 'reasons to be pretty', which is scheduled to open n the famous UK theatre district in March.
Howard Panter, joint managing director of the Ambassador Theatre Group - who will stage the production - says the Neil LaBute-penned play has similarities to the US sitcom which made America a household name.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "It's about people being drawn to the superficial, and how we all get seduced by the surface - and how that can be a thorny path."
'The Bourne Ultimatum' actress Julia Stiles is also in the running for a role in the play.
The play was previously shown off-Broadway two years ago before being revised for a bigger stage in New York.
America has previously revealed she loves playing a heroine who championed real Women.
She said: "It's so reassuring to have a heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside.
"To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that, they forget they have so much more to offer the world."
America is not the only major star to appear on the stage in London in the past - Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey and Whoopi Goldberg have all trod the boards of the West End.

California students have struggled (without much success) to win tuition freezes in public higher education. Now a graduate of the University of California at Irvine is trying a new tactic that could succeed where others have failed. He is collecting signatures on a petition for a referendum to the California Constitution that would require public colleges and universities to keep tuition rates at the level that students pay when they first enroll, The Los Angeles Times reported. So colleges and universities could increase the rates each year for new students, but not continuing students. "It's an unsettling and uncertain feeling when you think you are going to afford something and just skate by and suddenly somebody asks for more money you don't have. You feel you are going to lose your investment. You feel you are going to lose your future," said Christopher Campbell, who is organizing the campaign. California higher education leaders are skeptical, and Campbell still needs many more signatures. But such a proposal, if it qualifies for the ballot, could be popular.
Report says college football success is correlated with increases in alumni giving, applications, academic reputation and incoming students' SAT scores.
A federal official has recommended that the Federal Emergency Management Agency reverse its decision to provide tens of millions of dollars to help the University of Iowa replace three buildings that were damaged in 2008 flooding, The Gazette of Cedar Rapids reported. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued an audit this week recommending that Homeland Security officials not provide $83 million in funds to replace three buildings that have been part of the university's efforts to rebuild in the wake of devastating floods. The audit was prompted by a complaint that FEMA should have repaired rather than replaced the buildings. Iowa officials said they were hopeful that Homeland Security administrators would reject the inspector general's recommendation, the newspaper reported.
The war of words and battle of wills between Texas Southmost College and the University of Texas at Brownsville is continuing. The two institutions used to operate jointly, and now the college has said that it will not sell any real estate to the university. That prompted this statement by Francisco G. Cigarroa, president of the university system: "The UT System stated early in the transition team negotiations that leasing facilities is not in the best interest of UTB's educational mission as it is not conducive for a prosperous and growing four-year university. The UT System's priority remains to build a vibrant four-year university campus that one day can rival the best universities in the state. Doing so on borrowed land and with leased facilities does not allow UTB to appropriately advance its educational mission. Without access to land for expansion in Ft. Brown, the proposed 'Educational Village' would not be practical; therefore, the UT System will move quickly to evaluate alternative sites in Brownsville for future expansion of the main UTB campus and build the required infrastructure necessary to accommodate its students by Fall of 2015."
California Governor Jerry Brown and legislative leaders have reached a deal that would bar public universities from receiving $125 million that could become available for them if voters approve a tax hike unless the universities freeze tuition, The Los Angeles Times reported. Lawmakers dislike planned tuition increases, and see the deal as another incentive for voters to pass the tax increases. But university officials are dubious, saying that they can't give up the tuition revenue, especially given that passage of the tax measure is uncertain.
Part of the settlement of Mississippi's higher education desegregation case in 2004 was a pledge by the state to raise $35 million to boost the minimal endowments of the state's three historically black universities: Alcorn State, Jackson State and Mississippi Valley State Universities. After the campaign was announced, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave $1 million. Since then, nothing has happened. But the Associated Press reported that state higher education officials are now pledging to develop new plans to raise the money. Hank Bounds, the higher education commissioner, said that "we really need to put forth a really good strategy and see if we can find some success."
U.S. Chamber of Commerce ranks public higher education in state-by-state report card that measures "return on investment." Good data and transparency are lacking among public colleges, group says.
Some student leaders may be questioning Wesleyan University's recent shift away from need-blind admissions, but Moody's Investors Service is applauding the change, The Hartford Courant reported. In fact, a new report from Moody's suggests other private colleges may want to follow Wesleyan's lead. "These actions ... are credit positive for Wesleyan, as well as other selective private colleges that could look to this model as an avenue for growing tuition revenue in an increasingly difficult higher education market burdened by stiffening tuition price resistance and rising student loan burden," Moody's said.
In debate reflecting dilemmas of public higher education with shrinking public investment, UCLA faculty approves controversial plan to shed state support for M.B.A. program.
10 colleges and state systems have agreed to use a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau "shopping sheet" to give students information on financial aid.
