I knew it was supposed to snow last night and through today- but OMG!
Heavy, wet and several inches deep- I am in hell. Now, if I could have stayed home and enjoyed it from the warmth of my home- it would be nice to look at, but NO, I had to leave for work.
Getting the snow off my car is not such a big deal- but the snow was so heavy that a lilac bush next to my car had collapsed and blocked the drivers side door. OK, so I get in on the other side, slipe and slide my way down the driveway- and take a look around-
Broken branches all over, snapped clean off by the heavy snow, and a portion of the fence around the property has caved in as well. Trees are bowed to the ground, it'a THAT heavy!
I barely made it up the hill (I am getting new tires this weekend- thank God for payday)- and then when I hit the main road it was so icy that I was going less than 5 miles an hour, inching my way (literally) up the hill. As I hit the top I saw another car (4-wheel drive by the looks of it) backwards in the ditch. I was very grateful to still be on the road!
I crawled to work going about 30 MPH- once I was on the larger roads they were better plowed. As I type it is still snowing- not sure what the forecast is right now- but I am so grateful that I have tomorrow off. I'm calling my own snow day! Not going anywhere if at all possible!!
I will post some pics later- when I get home and can get some good shots. Of course, when I get home I may not make it up the driveway unless Dad gets out and gets it plowed- *sigh*
Yesterday the first snowfall was a magical mythical thing- and now it is just another misery!

Overall score
would recommend to a friend.
Reviewer score
Would recommend
nice place
it was comfortable, the staff were nice, enjoyed a couple beers in the pub, every thing worked, liked it a lot.
Would not recommend
Fair Hotel
One night stay. Visited the Fisherman's Wharf for dinner and gone the next morning.
Left car with valet near the hotel and took taxi to Fisherman's Wharf in the evrning.
not what it looks like
it was always hot and the rooms are too small so i was sufficating all the time.
if you walk to the right you'll find everything
Great Location
Very comfortable. Great location. A few blocks from Chinatown, the trolley, Port of San Francisco, etc.
Lori's "50's" Diner is only 2 blocks away. Great food, atmosphere, and service at a reasonable price.
Great little hotel
This was our third trip to this hotel. We love its location (2 blocks from Union Square and just off Powell Street), its continental breakfast, the small but very pleasant pub-type bar, and the friendly staff--they all remember our faces each
time we go and greet us with a big smile and a "nice to see you back!"
For the next couple of months, the dining room at the hotel is closed for remodelling. But, just a few doors down the street is the Marines Memorial Club which has a wonderful restaurant on the twelfth floor with a great view. And there are several restaurants of various types within a 2 block walk.
our vacation
Incredibly friendly staff. Clean rooms. In the midst of downtown, so we could walk to Chinatown (VERY close) and to Japantown. Easy access (within 2 blocks) to cablecar line. We were pleased with our choice and would be very comfortable staying
there again! Restaurant kitchen under renovation, so only ate the continental breakfast and complimentary hotdogs in the tavern. Dresser and furniture in room a bit nicked and could use some attention, but that was a minor detail compared to everything else.
Chinatown is just a short walk away (starting at the Chinatown Gate). Be prepared for walking on pavement! If you don't like the complementary continental breakfast, there is a lovely Mediterrian breakfast restaurant 1 block on the way to Chinatown.
Exceptional value for the location
The room was small, but clean, especially the bathroom, which is very important to me. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and the free continental breakfast was just enough. It was within easy walking distance to union square, shopping
and a roundtrip cable car ride to Fisherman's Wharf. For the cost in San Francisco, it was a steal; would definitely stay there again.
We actually took someone else's advice and took the cable car from the bottom of Powell to Fisherman's Wharf ($5.00 per person)and then took a taxi back to avoid the lines for the return trip from the wharf. Including a small tip, the taxi ride only cost us $13.00!
great location
This is a classic hotel from the 30's (I suppose). No frills but a very good daily valet rate with unlimited in/out option. The staff was average. room was average,bring earplugs because you're in the big city and there are people out at all hours
not to mention sirens and traffic noise. The beds need to be replaced, they are on the soft side. The neighborhood was safe and loved walking 2 blocks to the shopping. Taxis are cheap too;$10.00 to North Beach.Stay here if Hotel niceties are not your priority and price is.
San Fran awesome trip!
Went 1 day in advance for a quick tour prior to a conference for school. Was able to be at a central location (union square), reasonable price and within walking distance for everything - great experience
Cabs are very expensive, the trolley is a must whil in San Fran and it's $5 one way but you have to do it so with that being said, there is a bus that is $2 all day which will take you all over....
surprisingly very very good location
Location is nearly perfect. The hotel rooms are old but the bathrooms in the room are new and clean.I can suggest this hotel to visitors who do not spend much time in the hotel and want a good low price..
The hotel fee for parking is not very high compared to the parks around but you can find a free parking place one or two streets up around the area on sundays. That is what we did. or you can pay a low fee by parking around.. The hotel is close to Hyatt and mariott by the way but this hotel looks better and stylish. .

Deadline reports that Tony winner Dan Fogler (Broadway's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) will take over a co-starring role in ABC's new midseason drama series SECRETS & LIES. The role was previously cast with actor Clifton Collins Jr.
Starring Ryan Phillippe as Ben, the show centers on "a family man who finds the body of a young boy and quickly becomes the prime murder suspect." Fogler will portray Dave, described as "a faded musician who can't quite get his act together and lives in Ben and wife Christy's (KaDee Strickland's) guest house. He lives a cheerfully irresponsible life, has a great sense of humor and no filter. He suffers from a Peter Pan/never-grew-up syndrome but is a fundamentally a good guy and is unwavering in his support of Ben and his family."
Juliette Lewis, Indiana Evans, Charles Dutton, Kate Ashfield also will appear in the series.
Fogler became well-known mostly after his Tony Award winning performance as William Barfée in the Broadway show The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Fogler's film credits include Balls of Fury, Good Luck Chuck, Fanboys, and Take Me Home Tonight. He is a voice actor in the 2008 animated films Horton Hears a Who! and Kung Fu Panda.
His play Elephant in The Room, inspired by Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros was accepted into The NY International Fringe Festival 2007. Fogler is editing his own film, Hysterical Psycho, which he also directed. Fogler is due to play the titular role of Sam Kinison in HBO Film's biopic Brother Sam.

Posted by Andy Benoit
How badly did the Vikings want to rid themselves of Randy Moss? Bad enough to admit that the third-round pick they gave up for him is now a sunk cost.
Because this move occurs after the trade deadline, Moss must go through NFL waivers. Thus, for the next few hours, we'll all be speculating about which team will claim the lightning rod receiver. Waiver orders are determined by record, so the 0-7 Bills have first crack. Moss' former Patriots team (his presumed preferred destination) is a league best 6-1 and therefore will have the last crack.
It's possible that all 31 teams could pass on Moss, given that whatever team claims him on waivers would be subject to paying his $6.4 million 2010 salary prorated over the rest of the season. Of course, with no salary cap in place, overpaying for Moss may not be a big deal.
Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune reports that the Dolphins and Seahawks have expressed interest. The Dolphins would want Moss simply to avoid letting the Patriots get him (what, you thought Miami was looking for someone to mentor Brandon Marshall?). The Seahawks flirt with every potential big name receiver.
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network says general managers are telling him Moss will likely clear waivers and wind up back on the Patriots.
It is rumored that the Redskins are interested (they're involved in every wide receiver rumor these days – probably because, aside from Santana Moss, they don't have any decent wideouts of their own). Shockingly, the Colts have been mentioned as a possible suitor. But Moss would be a disaster in Indianapolis, as he's such a stiff, imprecise route runner. No way could he be eased into Peyton Manning's complex, timing-based passing attack.
The Chargers seem like a possibility, though they're about to get Vincent Jackson back. Plus, Malcom Floyd's bum hamstring will heal at some point. Both of those players are better downfield targets than Moss.
A dark horse team could be the Chicago Bears. Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith are both on the hot seat and could be desperately looking for a spark for Mike Martz's offense. Jay Cutler is one of the best deep-ball throwers in the league. Plus, the Bears could get Moss to share with them everything he learned about the Vikings system over the past month.
Stay tuned…

I heard that the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League arelooking to add a wide receiver...he will follow the path of Ricky Williams, the dope head and the dope.

The only place Randy will fit is a place that consistently wins. Period. A team that has a lot of ups and downs is exactly the wrong kind of team for diva players with mood swings. The minute something goes wrong they start flipping out and acting weird.

Possible landing spots for Randy Moss
I find most of the comments here very amusing. Most of the NFL football fans hate what these "Elite" recievers have become, " Cancers" to their Teams'. Yet there are no less than 10/14 fan bases that wish their GMs will claim Moss on the waiver wire. My question is why? There is only 1 Team Randy wants to play for and it's very obvious, NE. I think he realizes he made a huge mistake crying about a long term deal. Randy will only play for who he wants to play for and that's BB. The way I see it, the ball is in NE's court, if they'll accept him back. Something tells me BB will take him back under strict rules and he'd go willingly. You can call me crazy but I don't see any other Team that can motivate this guy. He needs structure!!!!!

I hope so too! He'll sabotage any chance that the Dolphins have of getting back into the division race. He's already said that his heart is in New England and that he wants to be back with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady on ther Patriots. Do you really think that he'll be happy if the Dolphins take him just to spite the Patriots? He'll tank at the worst moment and seal their fates just to ensure that Bill and Tom make it to where they need to go. If any team is stupid enough to claim him other than the Patriots he'll do the same thing to them, drive them into the ground for the rest of the year. LOL

LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS Monologue Highlights - 6/4

This summer marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of Little League Baseball. 75 years. Or to put it in Little League terms, 6 innings.
The coach of the Mexican World Cup team is making headlines after he asked players not to have sex during the tournament to improve performance on the field. Marking the first time a soccer coach has told his players to use their hands.
The scientist responsible for creating the formula for ecstasy passed away this week at the age of 88. He died surrounded by hundreds of his closest friends, all of whom he met that night.
This week Tom Brady's eighteen thousand square foot LA mansion was sold to Dr. Dre for forty million dollars. Now, forty million dollars might sound like a lot, but remember, he's a doctor.
This week a man was sentenced to three months in prison after smuggling Bones that belonged to a T-Rex. Just a word of prison advice: don't tell the other inmates you're a bone smuggler.

Legislature Approves $53 Million for GME Expansions
This legislative session, graduate medical education (GME) was a big winner. The legislature has sent to the governor for his signature a budget bill allocating $53 million for GME expansion grants over the biennium, up from the current $14.3 million. This includes:
The bill appropriates an additional $7 million for primary care physician pipeline programs. This includes $4 million in additional dollars for existing family medicine residency programs, for a total of $16.78 million (a 31-percent increase over current funding) and $3 million to revitalize the Statewide Primary Care Preceptorship Program. The preceptorship program has not been funded since 2011.

TMA Honors Academic Physician Leaders
Jose Manuel de la Rosa, MD, of El Paso received the Platinum Award, the top honor in the TMA Award for Excellence in Academic Medicine, during TexMed 2015.
The multilevel award program, created in 2012 by TMA's Subcommittee for Academic Physicians, recognizes academic physicians who are consummate teachers, role models, and medical professionals. A physician selection committee chooses the Platinum winner from a pool of physician applicants in the Gold-level recognition category. Physicians can self-submit applications or nominate others for Bronze-, Silver-, and Gold-level recognition, based on their years in an academic position.
"I am honored to be recognized for doing what I love," Dr. de la Rosa said. "As a pediatrician, I felt compelled to teach; not only teach the families I cared for, but the students navigating their way through medical school. This award is icing on a career I truly have been blessed to live."
Throughout his more than 25-year career, the board-certified pediatrician has mentored a host of medical students, residents, and physician faculty.
Dr. de la Rosa serves as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center-El Paso, where he continues to teach. He also oversees Student Services, Educational Affairs, the Office of Diversity Affairs, and the Office of Global Health Affairs. He was the founding dean of the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, leading the school through the accreditation process. Prior to the medical school's creation, he served as regional dean of the El Paso regional academic health center. For several years, he oversaw residency training at his institution.
As founding dean of the first medical school on the U.S.-Mexico border, Dr. de la Rosa has been instrumental in developing a unique curriculum that prepares students to practice medicine on the border and beyond, said Kathryn Horn, MD, an associate professor at the health sciences center, who nominated him for the award program.
Dr. de la Rosa helped establish the Kellogg Community Partnership Clinics, school-based clinics run by medical students that provide health services to colonia residents in the El Paso area. He also designed a community medicine curriculum — now a nationwide model — that teaches cultural sensitivity, awareness, and competence in medicine. And he championed a requirement that all medical students at the school take medical Spanish.
"Dr. de la Rosa works tirelessly to meet the health care needs in El Paso and beyond," said Dr. Horn. "He strives to eliminate social barriers so that all residents have access to the health care they need."
Dr. de la Rosa received his medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine-Lubbock. He completed his residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He received a Master of Science degree in clinical epidemiology from Harvard School of Public Health.
Dr. de la Rosa was among 18 physicians TMA recognized at its annual meeting through the academic award program. A total of 45 academic physicians have been recognized through the program during the past three years.

TMA Awards Scholarships to Minority Medical Students
Nine minority students entering Texas medical schools this fall each will receive $5,000 scholarships from TMA. Students were recognized at TexMed 2015 for their academic achievement, commitment to community service, and deep desire to care for Texas' increasingly diverse population.
The TMA Educational Scholarship, Loan, and Awards Committee chose winners from a competitive field of promising future physicians.
TMA created the Minority Scholarship Program to help diversify the physician workforce to fulfill the needs of Texas' diverse population. The scholarship encourages minority students to enter medicine by lightening their medical school financial burden. Since 1999, TMA has awarded 101 scholarships totaling $505,000, thanks to generous gifts from donors to the TMA Foundation.
The 2015 TMA Minority Scholarship recipients are as follows.
The TMA Minority Scholarship program is supported by the TMA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of TMA, thanks to generous major supporters and gifts from physicians and their families.

TMA Encourages Another Look at Tight Restrictions on External Moonlighting
At the urging of the TMA Council on Medical Education, members of the TMA House of Delegates adopted new policy on moonlighting by residents at its annual meeting on May 2 in Austin.
With the adoption of resident duty hours in recent years, medical schools and residency programs have generally placed more restrictions on, and in some cases even prohibitions against, external moonlighting by residents. Both the TMA Council on Medical Education and its Committee on Physician Distribution and Health Care Access recently studied the issue. The groups acknowledge moonlighting is not for every resident. But for some, including the more senior residents, it can have substantial professional and personal benefits, they say. Residents can gain broader clinical experience in various practice settings and provide greater access to care for underserved communities.
This work must be done in compliance with institutional guidelines defined by the sponsoring institutions, and residency program directors must serve in the critical role of assessing the competencies needed to balance residency training and moonlighting.
Within these parameters, the new policy encourages medical schools and residency training programs to reconsider policies that impose strict limitations or prohibitions on moonlighting.
The council's full report is available on the TMA website.
TMA Renews Emphasis on GME Growth to Match Medical School Expansions
TMA's Council on Medical Education and Committee on Physician Distribution and Health Care Access asked the TMA House of Delegates during its annual meeting May 2 to adopt additional policies in support of an expansion of the state's graduate medical education (GME) system. The growth is needed to respond to the projected 33-percent increase in medical school graduates expected by 2022, as shown in the graph below.
In its report to the House, the council and committee also emphasized the need to build the state's physician supply commensurate with the health care needs of the population.
TMA adopted new policies at TexMed 2015 in support of:
Continued efforts are needed to increase the number of primary care physicians and psychiatrists in the state, including funding for the family medicine residency program; new community-based psychiatry residency track positions; and revitalization of the Statewide Primary Care Preceptorship Program.
Read the full report.
TMA Says No to Missouri-Style Assistant Physician Licensing Category
At TexMed 2015, the TMA House of Delegates adopted a policy position that opposes any potential state legislation to establish an assistant physician licensing category. Missouri passed a law that established a licensing category for assistant physicians in 2014 with support from the Missouri State Medical Association. It requires only a medical degree, without a single day of residency training, to qualify an assistant physician for practice in an underserved area in "primary care," under a collaborative arrangement with a fully licensed physician.
In response, TMA adopted the following policy:
The Texas Medical Association opposes the creation of special licensing pathways for physicians who have not completed a year of residency training. Further, TMA recognizes primary care as encompassing specialties that require the completion of a full residency training process in the relevant specialties. TMA opposes lower standards of licensing for physicians and other health professions in medically underserved areas.

TMA opposes lower standards of licensing for physicians and other health professions in medically underserved areas.
Supporters of the Missouri law say it allows medical school graduates who are unable to match to a residency position an opportunity to contribute toward patient care in underserved communities. TMA's Council on Medical Education recognizes there has been a recent increase in the number of graduates unable to match and is tracking this trend in collaboration with Texas medical school deans.
For 2015, 40 Texas medical school graduates did not secure a match, slightly more than in 2014 when 32 were unmatched. Each medical school is expanding its efforts to help fourth-year medical students maximize their opportunities in the annual Match. And recently, the legislature approved $53 million for GME expansion grants over the biennium, up from the current $14.3 million, as noted in "Legislature Approves $53 Million for GME Expansions" in this newsletter.
TMA acknowledges no proposals have been put forward for establishing an assistant physician licensing category in Texas. The House adopted the policy should such proposals be forthcoming.
Progress in Expanding Texas GME Capacity
The 2013 Texas Legislature created several new grant programs to expand the state's graduate medical education (GME) capacity. TMA's Council on Medical Education took a look at the progress made to date in creating new positions, in collaboration with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the agency charged with administering the grant programs. A total of 195 GME positions are currently supported through the grant programs in 11 different medical specialties, as shown in the table below. In the first year of the biennium, 25 positions were supported. This increased to 170 in the second year. Almost half of the newly supported GME positions were in internal medicine, followed by 12 percent in family medicine, and 12 percent in psychiatry.
As of April 22, 2015. Note: Percentages may not add to 100 percent due to rounding. Source: Texas Higher Education Coordinating BoardPrepared by: TMA, Medical Education Department
Geographically, the highest percentage of funded GME positions is in Houston, with a total of 59 funded positions, or 30 percent of the state's total, as shown in the table below. The Rio Grande Valley had the second highest number of funded positions, a total of 35 for Hidalgo and Cameron counties, for 18 percent of the state's total.
As of April 22, 2015. Note: Percentages may not add to 100 percent due to rounding.Source: Texas Higher Education Coordinating BoardPrepared by: TMA, Medical Education Department
A total of 12 counties received funding for GME expansions during the biennium, including most of the state's largest metropolitan areas.
TMA's advocacy efforts in conjunction with many partners won state legislative support for continued funding of these newly created GME positions and for even greater expansions during the 2016-17 state biennium.

Nice hotelPosted Jun 12, 2015
Pros: Nice - convenient.
Cons: A little better cleaning would be nice.
My son and I stayed a night. Check in time is 3:00. We arrived at 2:30 only to be told we'd have to wait. I've never had that happen. The girl was polite and friendly though. Anyway, went back at 3 and they had to call housekeeping to see if our room was ready. I'm sure it was ready at 2:30, they just didn't call. Other than that, it was a good stay. My son did find something sticky on the wall though. I made him wash his hands and stay away from that wall.

Great place but check in took forever due to one of the two front desk staff walking around outside on her cell phone (clearly on a personal phone call) while a crowd of people were waiting to check in.

Great hotel for great ratePosted May 8, 2015
Pros: The beds and pillows are so comfortable. And the room and public areas are spotless.
Cons: The restaurant is not as good as the hotel is.
Location: The Quarter is a quick drive away and we like being close to drugstores, chain restaurants, etc. on Veteran's Memorial Blvd.
We've stayed here three times and it never disappoints. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well-appointed.

Excellent Hotel in a nice locationPosted Apr 6, 2015
Overall, I was very satisfied with this hotel. The price was lower than what I would have expected for a hotel of this quality. The room was very clean, comfortable and quiet at night. The staff was friendly and helpful no matter who I spoke with. The location is about 20 minutes from the French Quarter but it is located in a very quiet location and the garage parking always had plenty of spaces available.

We stayed here for a cheer competition at nearby UNO Lakefront Arena. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would certainly stay here again. My only complaint was that free internet was advertised but it turned out to be only for Sheraton Preferred Guests.

Bringin' the Noise: Rapper's Delightless
By Brad Evans
September 19, 2007
Step off, Ron Artest. Grand-ma-ma is straight outta Compton.
Overshadowed by the shady ploys of Bill Belicheat and his merry band of Rosenbergs, Kansas City media outlets reported last week that Larry Johnson – or someone pretending to be him – allegedly recorded an off-the-chain, straight to MySpace track at a recent party with a local hip-hop group called the "SBL Mob."
Included in the three minutes of hardcore gangsta bliss the LJ-sounding rapper chastises Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson, gives a fantastically original nickname to a certain legendary KC back and brags of owning munitions that would dwarf a combined Tank Johnson/Maurice Clarett arsenal.
Here's a taste of the Grammy-worthy rhymes:
"Can I come back? Can I come back? And if ya'll don't pay my money I ain't never comin' back. So (expletive) dat.
They say should I be scared of Pri-Ho coming back, he embarrassing himself. So I'm a say it, I'm a leave it like that. Cuz I'm the (expletive) runnin' this (expletive) here.
(Expletive) Carl Peterson, the GM is running it. They see me. They want to treat me like I'm running it. I wouldn't give a (expletive) if I'm not coming back. I'd rather play for another team because I'd rather be running back.
Forget 50 Cent and Kanye West. If BET wants viewers to tune in, they should televise a freestyle bout between LJ and Iron Mike Ditka. Evidently,"Da Coach" is packing some serious lyrical heat …
Johnson's freestyle frustrations are similar to how his owners feel about his inauspicious start.
Hindered by an offensive line in transition and a despicable passing attack, LJ has logged a sorrowful 3.8 YPC and has failed to find pay dirt in his first two games. Lost by the uneducated, both games were on the road and against two talented defenses (Houston and Chicago). Yes, DeMeco Ryans and his Texans cohorts are for real – at least right now.
Brainy owners who reject such knee-jerk doom and gloom LJ observations are ever-wise. However, a significant slice of the fantasy population steadfastly believes that the diamond-cutter is destined for disappointment. Like this over-reactor:
I can't believe you recommended drafting Larry Johnson over Peyton Manning. The other LJ, LaMont Jordan, is ten times the fantasy player than that dope. Thanks for leading my team to the basement. You're a balding doofus with the brain of a dinosaur. – Mark, Los Angeles, CA
Or these obvious rocket scientists …
Recent One-for-One Y! Plus League trades involving LJ:
As I discussed last week, I was one of the fantasy analysts that was somewhat sour on Johnson entering this season. However, it's way too early to label him a fantasy disgrace. Concerned Johnson backers don't need magic elixirs or Jon Kitna-inspired miracles to help their troubled star return to statistical dominance. They simply need to exercise patience. Flippant owners who have inexplicably traded away their cornerstone player for the flavor of the week are irresponsible.
Last year, Johnson failed to sniff the end zone in his first two games. But he managed to rebound, scoring in nine straight contests while averaging a beastly 137.3 total yards per game from Weeks 4-12.
Yes, the Chiefs passing offense is a sordid mess. And sure, LJ's upcoming schedule doesn't evoke feelings of a quick turnaround (Min, SD, at Jac). But Herm Edwards is committed to giving Johnson 25-30 touches per game in order to resuscitate a D.O.A. offense.
So, when can we expect a turnaround?
Circle KC's Week 6 tussle with Cincinnati as the day LJ begins his resurrection. From that matchup on, he has nine questionable rush defenses on the docket, including five against AFC West foes Oakland, Denver and San Diego – a bunch he ripped for a combined 145.4 total yards per game and six scores in six encounters last year.
If you're a heist-minded owner looking for the biggest buy-low score of the century, cast an offer for Johnson after his certain egregious effort this week versus Minnesota.
But, please, leave the goon and gun robbing tactics to O.J.
Here are this week's flames, lames and stars of video games:
Each week the Noise highlights five somewhat obscure, unobvious names who he believes are destined for flame madness or lame sadness. In honor of waiver wire hero Ron Dayne's legendary four-game dominance late in '06, the "Shocker Special" segment spotlights one player owned in less than 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues who is poised for one-week greatness. The Noise, an accountability advocate, will tally his hits and misses and post the results, whether genius or moronic, each week using the scoring system listed at the end of the lames segment. You could say, his stones are larger than Rodney Harrison's.
*BNRK = Big Noise weekly position ranking
Upset you don't have a forum to express your disdain for drafting Ronnie Brown? Do you question why on earth you're not a fantasy expert? This is the place for you to vent your thoughts, tirades and frustrations. Can you bring the noise?
Your columns are simply unbelievably funny as hell. I read at work and sometimes burst out in uncontrollable laughter. All of those people who "don't get it" are simply idiots and don't understand good humor. Thanks.
– Craig, Dallas, TX
All of you "experts" are always wrong once and a while. However, for the most part, I think you're one of the better ones. I don't start the week without taking a few "Hits from the Brad." Keep bringin' the damn Noise. However, we can all do without Snow references. It makes the world a better place. Informer! Lickey Boom Boom Down!
– Kenny, San Diego, CA
Two things: 1) Never ever stop making pop culture references. Your column is hilarious. 2) About the pictures of Funston you're requesting, let's be honest, he looks more like Yogi Bear. Give that man some honey!
– Chris, Burbank, CA
Does it depress you to realize that half or more of your reading audience happens to be total football knuckleheads? Brandon Jacobs is a man-child and anyone watching that game would have noticed that fact – injury or no injury. I'm sure many would say: "Evans, why can't you just do your job and play fantasy god and predict that LT is going to rush for 27 yards and throw a TD to Gates." These readers are grommets. What's the fun in winning your league if you don't have the sack to make a call on your own? Keep living the dream Brad and send the doubters a gallon of Hater-aid.
– Ckissam, Oakland, CA
Brad, I can't believe there are people in fantasyland that enjoy your misfortune with Jacobs. Obviously, they disagreed with your preseason assessment and felt the need to rub it in. I think that questioning your expert status is a step too far. If Jacobs was a true bust and Derrick Ward legitimately took over, then I can see hate mail. Bottom line, opinions are like … well you know the rest. Relying strictly on one person's opinion is just plain dumb. They should be angry with themselves, not you. If there is a fantasy expert that can accurately predict injuries, please let me know!
– Jason, Montgomery, AL
Brad, I think you take more than you need to. You have all these people ragging your picks and that's not cool. Why don't you create a contest where each week you select one person to write a short piece about their fantasy predictions and see how they stack up. We would then be able to see how "easy" it is to make picks. Keep your head up about Jacobs. He shall return!
– Maxwell, Eau Claire, WI
Noise: As the Guinness scientists would say, "Brilliant!" idea Maxwell. If you're a self-proclaimed fantasy "expert" with the skin of a walrus and the balls of an elephant, listen carefully. Starting Week 4, I will select one lucky reader each week to participate in the "Silence the Noise Challenge." The rules are simple. Send me six unobvious fantasy flames – including your shocker special – and five sensible lames along with your name and City/State via the comments link in the footer below. Each week, I'll select one fortunate reader to go toe-to-toe against yours truly. Picks and results will be posted at the end of the "Notable Noise" section the following week.
Here's your opportunity to back up your trash talk and make me look like a jackass. Bring the noise, wannabes …
Very upset fantasy owner here. I totally went with your advice by inserting Chris Brown into my Week 2 lineup at the last second. Who did I put him in for? Jamal Lewis. I wish I could throw something at you right now.
– Dave, Harrington Park, NJ
Noise: Here's a suggestion: chuck a boomerang. Yes, my Brown prediction was terribly off, but only you are responsible for your misfortune. Just a hunch, but my inner Dr. Phil tells me you're someone who constantly projects your misgivings onto other people. Grow a pair and hold yourself accountable.
Sell high or hold on Jamal Lewis?
– Jake, Boston, MA
Noise: Lewis was a rabid dog on Sunday. His 216-yard explosion was only his third 100-yard performance in his past 19 games. Because fantasy football is overloaded with knee-jerk dimwits who love to buy on a bull market, you could swap him for a reliable No. 1 or No. 2 receiver if you searching for an upgrade. This week alone he was dealt straight up for Andre Johnson, Marques Colston and Donald Driver in Y! Plus Leagues.
After his bout with the Raiders this week, Lewis will face two strangling defenses in Baltimore and New England. Those owners who jumped on the bandwagon will probably bail, but if the right deal doesn't come along, hold onto him. The Browns have a very favorable fantasy playoff schedule (Weeks 14-16) against three defenses (at NYJ, Buf, at Cin) that have surrendered 5.1 YPC, 148.3 rushing yards and 0.83 TDs per game to opposing backs thus far. Offensive success will be elusive at times for Cleveland this season, but Lewis is a durable bruiser who could flourish during the most crucial time of the year.
Do you still have a job after those fearless predictions this week? Nice job on the Bengals D, Chris Chambers, Chris Brown and Michael Pittman. I guess one out of five is enough for you to keep your job. I was indifferent on the status of your fantasy intelligence before I read your predictions for Week 2. Now, I'm convinced that any Joe Schmo could name five players in the entire NFL and get at least equal production out of his picks. You should no longer be writing football columns for Yahoo!
– Bob, Clermont, FL
Noise: Bob, to defog your shamefully clouded brain, Chambers caught 9 passes for 109 yards and Pittman failed to start. Ridicule is deserved for the Bengals/Brown prognostications, but I emphasized last week to start Pittman only IF Cadillac was garaged. To attack my fantasy IQ over Chambers, who had the ninth-best yardage yield among WRs in Week 2, is utterly senseless and makes you look like a boob.
Oh, and way to go out on a limb with your "any Joe Schmo could name five players in the entire NFL and get at least equal production" suggestion. With such unrestrictive rules I'm sure your roster would be filled with spineless selections. If you've noticed I have a tendency to avoid noteworthy names every week.
Greetings to the J.R. Reid of fantasy "experts." You have muffed another week's forecast. I only wish Yahoo! would cut you from their team. And, yes, I'm still mad about Jacobs, you twit!
– Drake, Norristown, PA
Noise: If you're looking for an appropriate NBA lottery pick bust analogy, may I suggest the Carolina sloth Eric Montross? Although a foot taller than me, he possesses similar attributes: the agility of a telephone pole, angelic looks and blood that smells like cologne. Yes, we could be the most interesting men in the world. Stay thirsty my friends …
Seriously, I go a combined 6-4 this week and that's considered a muff job? Dude, I'm hardly Reno Mahe.
Good call on picking up the Cincinnati defense. Between that and Jacobs you're the anti-fantasy guru. From now on anything you say I will do the exact opposite. You're like a fantasy football cancer.
– Chris, New York, NY
Noise: Fantastic, now I have something in common with "clubhouse cancers" A.J. Pierzynski and Cedric Benson. Maybe I should use the moniker "Noiseloma."
Who knew that Derek Anderson would morph into Bernie Kosar, Jamal Lewis would imitate Jim Brown and Braylon Edwards would play, well, like Braylon Edwards. Look, my Bengals choice was backed coherently and I stand by my misfired prediction. As an opinionated columnist, my job is to entertain and to apply reason to generate an educated guess. Shockingly, many of my prognostications will be wrong. But I'm optimistic that I won't misfire a majority of the time. The NFL defies logic at times and if I were a true Noistradomus I would bask in the Caribbean sun and sip Pina Coladas for a living.
Every week I get lambasted unfairly by dozens of readers in hindsight. Amazingly, my near bull's-eye Week 2 outlook of Jeff Garcia (Projected: 238 YD, 2 TD, INT, Actual: 243 YD, 2 TD) did not draw a single complimentary email. Go figure.
So from this point forward, don't waste your time slinging post-game insults. Of course, if you want to criticize a pick prior to knowing the outcome, then, please, hurl your barbs in my general direction. I'll exalt you if you prove me wrong.
Brad, you are the worst fantasy analyst ever. In fact, I win every week now because I just do the opposite of what you say. You say play Chris Brown, I play LenDale White. You say play Cincinnati, I stick with Miami. You kiss Brandon Jacobs, I pass on him and get Benson. Do you still want to canoodle with Jacobs, Brad? Please retire. You're an idiot.
– Bobby, Montcalir, NJ
Noise: Bobby, I recommend you don't jump into a den of lions with zebra steaks strapped to your waist. You said do the opposite.
For your information, I have a Jay-Z view on retirement. In other words, even if I was forced into it prematurely, I would mastermind and implement a triumphant comeback before you even realized I was gone. Like Morten Anderson, I will never go away.
As for my unwavering man-lust for the Football Frankenstein, I've erected a candle-lit shrine dedicated to his memory in my basement. There, each night, I appease the Anti-Christ of fantasy football, Jake Plummer, with a shot of Jameson in the hopes he will kindly accelerate Jacobs' return. For my liver's sake, it better be soon …
Brad "The Big Noise" Evans has obsessed about his fantasy teams since the days when Jeff George had value. Yahoo! Sports fantasy's resident baseball, football and bracketology expert, Brad also lends advice on the two-time Emmy-nominated webcast "Fantasy Football Live" each NFL Sunday.

Nanopower Analog ICs Enable Sub-1V, Micropower Current Sensing Techniques
February 15, 2012 // Martin Tomasz, Sageloop Designs // 0 commentsDownload White Paper 479Ko
Current-sense amplifiers can monitor battery or solar cell currents, and are useful to estimate power capacity and remaining life. However, if the battery or solar source is a single cell, it's difficult to find a low voltage solution that works below 1V and draws just microamps. A new class of nanopower analog ICs, namely Touchstone Semiconductor's TS1001 0.8V/0.6µA op amp, makes a sub-1V supply current sense amplifier possible. With its extremely low power, the circuit can simply remain "always on", providing a continuously monitored, averaged indication of current which can be read by a microcontroller without too much current drain.

How could this place sell itself competitively when compared to the better-known and presumably more exciting Orlando, the tourism king, or Miami, the unofficial northern capital of Latin America?
What are Tampa Bay's drivers?
This is the crux of a recent conversation I had with Ryan Severino, senior economist and research director of Reis, a 35-year provider of commercial real estate information and analysis that monitors office vacancy trends across the country....
Leaner St. Joe Co. wants boomers to retire in its 'national park' development07/01/15 Economic Development
A company that has single-handedly transformed the Florida Panhandle from the Redneck Riviera to a land festooned with upscale second homes, beachfront communities and its own jet-capable airport is at it again.
St. Joe Co., once the largest private landowner in Florida, told shareholders at its annual meeting this week that it has the green light to build a vast "active adult" community to woo baby boomer retirees....
Index says diners' satisfaction at restaurants is decreasing06/30/15Retail
Consumers may continue to eat out about four times a week on average, but their dining satisfaction at full-service places is stagnating — and even falling among fast-food joints. Those trends suggest consumers are not likely to spend more money at restaurants even as the economy improves.
So concludes the findings of the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, or ACSI, to be unveiled today, which ranks the consumer dining experience on a 100-point scale at both full- and limited-service restaurants....
Florida No. 1 in people griping about their jobs on Twitter06/26/15 Working Life
Florida rarely ranks at the top but never seems to end up last in work-related surveys. But in one new study, it is No. 1 among U.S. states or — depending on how you look at it — No. 50.
No other state matches Floridians for griping on Twitter about their jobs.
What's driving Florida workers to use social media to tweet so often about how they hate their jobs? Could it be the rise of so many mediocre or part-time jobs that have replaced better jobs lost during the recession? Is it the crummy wages and lack of raises that are pushing financially stressed Floridians to vent online? Or, perhaps, the kinds of jobs many Floridians have simply do not inspire loyalty, making it easier to accentuate the negative on Twitter. ...
Florida rises in CNBC business ranks, but workforce takes a hit06/24/15 Economic Development
Florida's faster economic growth help land it at No. 16 in CNBC's new 2015 ranking unveiled Wednesday of "America's top states for business." The Sunshine State scores a solid B+, just breaking into the top third of U.S. states but rising sharply from lower CNBC rankings in previous years.
The good news is Florida rose from a No. 20 ranking in 2014, a No. 30 ranking in 2013 and a No. 29 ranking in 2012 in the CNBC listings, which consider 10 economic factors in determining the annual pecking order. Florida's impressive gain in 2015 was driven by its stronger economy (ranked 11th in the country) but was held back by relatively low ratings in the "cost of doing business" (31st) and "quality of life" (32nd)....
Tampa Bay firms rank among Fortune's best places to work for millennials06/23/15 Working Life
St. Petersburg electrical contractor Power Design and Tampa credit union Grow Financial made Fortune's first-ever national survey ranking the "100 Best Workplaces for Millennials."
At. No. 43, Power Design is cited by an "overwhelming majority" of young employees who say they feel a strong sense of responsibility without micromanagement. "The level of freedom that we have in the field is unmatched," one employee said. "This autonomy makes every thing that we do a personal achievement as well as a company one." Power Design also operates a 12,000-square-foot training center to offer employees 150 hours of training and mentoring each year on average, Fortune wrote. ...
How are we doing? Tracking 6 signs of Florida, Tampa Bay economies06/22/15Business
Approaching the midpoint of 2015, here are six indicators to help explain the state of the economy in Florida and the Tampa Bay area:
That's the number of states whose latest monthly unemployment rates — including Florida's, to 5.7 from 5.6 percent — increased in May. If half of this country's states face rising jobless rates, is this the end of the rebound for jobs in America — and Florida? It's not the end. But any gains will get leaner at best — especially as the Federal Reserve draws closer to tweaking interest rates higher. Nine states and Washington, D.C., still saw their unemployment rates decline in May. The other 16 states were unchanged....
For Florida economy to prosper, raise the skills of preschoolers today06/19/15Business
Tampa Bay businesses may bicker over any number of issues. But they will rally to support almost anything that impedes their ability to be as competitive as possible.
Which brings us to Florida preschoolers.
A fast growing number of states, from Alabama to Oregon, are investing in high-quality preschool education programs with the goal of making sure as many children in their states are reading at grade level by the end of third grade. That's the magic moment, experts say....
Search for business school dean at USF St. Petersburg to start over06/18/15Business
It's time for a redo in the hunt for a business dean to head USF St. Petersburg's Kate Tiedemann College of Business. The university's regional chancellor, Sophia Wisniewska, sent a "Dear Colleagues" memo Thursday afternoon to St. Petersburg faculty and staff saying the search for a new dean "has failed" and will need to start over.
"Although the final slate forwarded to the Regional Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and to me included accomplished candidates, we did not find the one ideally suited to lead the College," Wisniewska said in her memo. "This summer, we will commence another national search for a suitable candidate for this critically important position."...
Trigaux: Beyond sedate St. Pete headquarters, Jabil competes in global fast lane06/17/15Corporate
Twelve minutes drive north of downtown St. Petersburg sits the unremarkable headquarters of Jabil, the only visible sign of prosperity on most days being its packed employee parking lot.
In Tampa Bay, Jabil typically gets noticed as one more midsized tech employer of less than 2,000 local workers. The biggest curiosity is whether Jabil is still thinking about relocating its headquarters. Recent rumors hint of Jabil moving to U.S. 19 S, perhaps to or near the Ceridian office building, or to a location closer to the city core — perhaps near the Trop or even to some other site carved out of the heart of downtown. Not known for loose lips, Jabil has no comment on rumors....
As GE hints at headquarters move, can Florida not go all in?06/15/15Corporate
How often does a major household-name U.S. corporation — No. 8 on the latest Fortune 500 ranking with a market value topping $273 billion — complain publicly about heavy taxes and suggest relocating its headquarters?
General Electric shocked the nation's economic development world this month when CEO Jeff Immelt announced GE needs to figure out if it's time to move its headquarters out of Fairfield, Conn., to a more tax-friendly state. The giant maker of everything from household appliances and lighting to aviation, transportation products and energy management employs 5,700 at its headquarters and more than 300,000 worldwide....
Trigaux: Key economic statistic shows Florida's economy is lagging06/12/15 Economic Development
It's the wrong season to say so, but Floridians are getting a snow job about the state of our economy.
We're not faring well compared with many other states. And when stacked against the other big population states (California, Texas, New York and Illinois), the recent numbers are humiliating.
Of course, we do not hear such things from our Tallahassee elected. To them, our economy is a red-meat-rippin', pedal-to-the-metal powerhouse just aching to bust loose as the envy of the global market....
As Florida homeownership declines, 'American dream' starts to fade06/08/15 Personal Finance
With interest rates near rock bottom, unemployment down sharply and a Florida economy on the rise again, you'd think homeownership would be on the upswing.
My first home mortgage in 1984 was near 12 percent. Today's mortgage rates are closer to 4 percent and have been for years, a bargain price for home loans I never expected to see in my lifetime.
But cheap mortgages are not stemming the tide. Homeownership peaked in Florida in 2005-2006 at 72.4 percent of the population. It has been heading south ever since, falling under 63 percent in late 2014....
Fortune 500 rankings: Ten things to know about U.S., Florida companies06/04/15Corporate
The annual Fortune 500 list of largest companies ranked by revenues was unveiled Thursday with some of the usual highlights. Wal-Mart is No. 1 (yawn). Facebook, barely on anyone's radar not so long ago, is rising like a banshee at No. 242. And World Fuel Services of Miami remains the largest Florida company by revenues at No. 68.
But here are 10 things you probably don't know about the nation's (and Florida's) largest companies....
Tampa Bay startup activity feels vibrant, but are other metros passing it by?06/04/15 Economic Development

On Thursday, the annual "Startup Bus" of local entrepreneur teams left Tampa, heading for Tennessee. They will build a startup from scratch en route and face off against other bus teams from around the country in Nashville....

Texas Network a blow to whatever stability Big 12 has left
That's a powerful draw, and one that has to worry the rest of the Big 12. Not that the likes of Texas Tech and Oklahoma State and Kansas can do much about it.
Could the anxiety over the Texas Network lead to a Big 12 breakup? Only if led by A&M or OU.
The Aggies are volatile. Capable of anything, including standing up to Texas if only out of spite.
The Sooners are more stable, and athletic director Joe Castiglione stands firmly with the Big 12. But others in power on campus are less committed; many still regret that OU and others did not jump to the Pac-10 last summer. No one in authority at OU wants any part of the SEC culture, but the Pac-10 remains a popular idea among people that matter in Norman.
The Texas Network muddles the Longhorns' Pac-10 interest. UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds has said the possibility of starting his own network helped keep the 'Horns in the Big 12, and the Pac-10 has since voted to market its "third-tier rights" (the new phrase for the kind of events headed for the Texas Network) collectively.
But a Big 12 source told me last summer that the Pac-10 was willing to let Texas establish its own network. And some have said the proposed Pac-10 Network will be a tough sell. So who knows?
The Big 12 brass, fighting for its life, soon will negotiate a new cable television contract — its deal with Fox ends after the 2011 season — and one stipulation could be that any individual school's television rights stay with the league, even if that school jumps the conference.
Great if you can get it, but that's one more reason for trepidation at OU and A&M and even Texas.
The truth about the Big 12 survival of last summer is that no one really knew for sure how long the revamped league would last. Now the Texas Network provides even less reason for optimism.

SaaS implementation
Apex is a development platform for building software as a service (SaaS) applications on top of Salesforce.com's customer relationship management (CRM) functionality. Apex allows developers to access Salesforce.com's back-end database and client-server interfaces to create third-party SaaS applications. Apex includes an application program interface (API) that developers can use to access user data on Salesforce.com. This API allows developers to use common SaaS components, like Web widgets or a multi-tenant database, without the need to develop much of the infrastructure traditionally associated behind SaaS programs.

By submitting your personal information, you agree to receive emails regarding relevant products and special offers from TechTarget and its partners. You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Apex applications are usually hosted and run directly from Salesforce.com's servers. No installation on a user's local PC is necessary because of this hosting. A user simply purchases a given Apex program through AppExchange, Saleforce.com's Web portal for add-ons to CRM. The user is then able to access the program through the standard interface. Once created, an application can be published for public use or kept private, for instance as a proprietary add-on.
The Apex platform consists of three tools, Builder, API and Code.
- Apex Builder is an on-demand component that allows easy, drag-and-drop customization with a limited set of features. Apex Builder applications are relatively easy to create but must draw on a limited, pre-defined set of interface elements and business logic algorithms.
- Apex API is a method of retrieving raw data from Salesforce.com's servers. The API is used by programs that are external to Salesforce.com, like Java applications, that need access to information on a client's Salesforce.com account.
- Apex Code is a fully featured programming language that is executed on Salesforce.com's servers. Apex Code has built-in methods for accessing user data. The language was made available to developers in Salesforce.com's Winter '07 edition. Apex Code offers both flexibility in developing for the Apex API while a reduction in the number of calls between server and client. While Apex API programs must communicate with the Salesforce.com server each time they access or record data, Apex Code applications handle these transactions natively, only requiring client-server communication when taking user input and displaying the end result.
In April 2007, Saleforce.com announced the Salesforce.com Platform Edition. This version lets users access Apex applications without subscribing to the company's core CRM product.
