The 2016-2020 Integrated Five-Year Work Plan was adopted by the ACHD
Commission on October 28, 2015.
This is the third year of ACHD's Integrated Five-Year Work Plan, a
document that was expanded from earlier versions -- well
beyond its traditional role of setting the concept, design, right-of-way
acquisition and construction for all of ACHD's capital projects. The
"integrated" aspect of the plan added the District's yearly efforts to
operate, maintain, and enhance Ada County's 2,260-mile network of roads, bridges
and intersections.
A note about terminology:
CN stands for
PD indicates "preliminary development," a phase at which
ACHD may spend money on a project that still has no firm construction
UF means "unfunded" and indicates a project that may be pursued in
the future.
Note: The 2016-2020 Integrated Five-Year Work Plan Initial Draft
is listed below and is an update to the 2015-2019 plan.

This guy is not caring about you as a quest. My plane was delayed and I tried to get in touch with this man all afternoon and evening. He asked me to communicate by what's app. I am a 51 year old woman who was in Barcelona on my own and this man did not reply at all. He did not try to contact me. Even Spanish people who live on this address did not know him, I sat at the bar next to the room till late at night, called, text, but nothing happened. Very late at night I found a place near Barcelona where I could sleep. I was stressed and now I see I even had to pay for this room. This is somebody who is not reliable and is not caring about you but only for his wallet! Don't book this room! Read the stories, they must be true.
a pesar del espacio, de la escalera y aspecto antiguo, es ideal para estudiantes y jovenes, bien ubicado en la universidad donde te puedes traslocar a cualquier lado, muy comodo, sosegado con wc, cocina y un puesto de nevera, en cuanto a Daniel saludos, gracias muy simpatico, frontal y directo.
Horrible! Fotos en la página web no son ciertas. Cuando yo llegué, el propietario dijo que mi habitación estaba ocupada pero puedo dormir en la otra. Habitación de 4m quadrados con un olor horrible, todo en un estado terrible. Le pregunté a devolver el dinero, tenía que encontrar otro lugar para vivir. Estoy totalmente decepcionada.
I was on a spontaneus trip to Barcelona and booked a room quickly. Daniel was/is a great host, a very polite and nice person who will help you out with everything. I always got some support when I had some questions about how to get somewhere, where to eat and what I should probably visit. The location itself is very near the city center and most of the sights are reachable easily. (Rambla, Sagrada Familia, Beach et cetera). There is even a good connection to the airport (15-25 Minutes with a shuttle bus), normal buses and the metro. Surrounding is quite calm, you´ll find some shops and restaurants arround the corner. The flat has different rooms and is very comfortable with a fridge, bathroom, a living room with TV and a very nice balcony to sit down at night or after walking for hours. I would highly reconmend to go there.
Large and bright, close to Casa Batllo, so nice area, clean and quiet. Our room was very large and comfortable with terrace to dry towels ... Daniel is a guy very friendly and helpful. Shared bathroom but times of the guests were always different from ours. Usable kitchen.
Appartamento grande e luminoso, vicinissimo a Casa Batlò, quindi bella zona, pulito e tranquillo. La nostra camera era molto grande e confortevole con terrazza per asciugare i teli... Daniel è un ragazzo molto gentile e disponibile. Bagno condiviso ma gli orari degli ospiti erano sempre diversi dai nostri. Utilizzabile la cucina.
the carpet of the room was not very clean. in sranza they hear the noise of the metro and nearby apartments. Between the house rules it says that you can not bring strangers but a girl one night brought a friend for sex. Daniel, however, is friendly and helpful and the food is so convenient cone bath. The location of the house is good
il tappeto della stanza non era molto pulito. nella sranza si sentono i rumori della metro e degli appartamenti vicini. Tra le regole della casa c'è scritto che non si possono portare estranei ma una ragazza una notte ha portato un amico per fare sesso. Daniel comunque è gentile e disponibile e la cucina è comoda così cone il bagno. La posizione della casa è buona
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
A great person and best roommate.
Una gran persona y mejor compañero de piso.
It was a very good hotel for what I paid fully satisfied. Daniel was also an extraordinary good and seehr friendly guy who is always willing to give very good advice for Barcelona. But Could have been a little cleaner and the mekern high Niveu.
Was a great week and would seehr widee book with him.
Best Regards
Patrik Steiner
Es war eine sehr gute Unterkunft für das was ich bezahlt habe voll und ganz zufrieden.

I am gleeful about how this turned out. Glee-ful. Full of.
As I mentioned before, ThreadEx lets mums exchange bundles of outgrown baby clothes with other mums.
Instead of just showing a generic box, the bundle shows illustrations of the kinds of clothes that are in that particular bundle. Users can even specify the colour of the clothes and the illustration will change accordingly.
Huge props to Hannah-Kay for the illustration work. You should hire her, you guy.

Skip to comments.Late-Night Comedians Turning on Obama
Posted on 10/13/2009 4:53:42 AM PDT by mellow velo
Is there now a caricature taking hold of a man more celebrated than accomplished?
(Excerpt) Read more at tv.yahoo.com ...
It's good to see, but it is also an indication of how pathetically the news/entertainment business has been shielding this putz.
Nah, more like dawning perception.
Will the Whitey House now "fight back"?
He's nominated as Lead Actor In A Continuing Comedy.
And the mrs is going for the Female Award.
Unfortunately, their jokes are on us.
"Now they're all against me...."
Their complaining he's not destroying America fast enough for them. Not funny.
Pray for America and Our Troops
Yes, it seems it might be. Sadly, McCain actually was on the right track in August when he launched his "celebrity" campaign, but after McCain blew the response to the financial crisis, people stopped thinking of him as experienced.
Will Obama declare war on late night television?
Well, they have to make fun of somebody, and W has been gone long enough that the George jokes just don't cut it anymore.
I'm sure for a lot of comedians, making fun of Zero is like making fun of their Mommies - it hurts, and afterwards they just want to run over, give her a kiss and apologize.
They better watch out - CNN will be fact-checking their comedy routines.
Late night comedians are racist....and probably terrorists too.
Turning on Hussein? I tuned in briefly last night to find Letterboy smearing Governor Palin.Again.
the lure of higher ratings may prove irresistible and obama and his goof ball team's foibles fumbles and peccadillos are rich material for comedy (one step below tragedy)
"Ironically, his biggest accomplishment as president so far ... winning the Nobel Peace Prize."
It's true. And as we have said here, his only accomplishments in politics up to now have been winning elections. He's an empty suit.
What the article said about Carson is true- he joked about what people were already thinking, he didnt tell them what to think about the politicians he was mocking.
Letterboy needs a ratings boost to pay his future alimony and child support, him being such a proven sterling character to make jokes about other people's imaginary character flaws
Good grief, Letterman has really jumped the shark. Palin nailed him PATHETIC
I just posted something very similar to this about two seconds ago.
He's capable of showing up and following schedules others created. He's capable of reading speeches others prepared. And he's probably capable of talking a lot of theory in meetings. In between those functions, I think he needs a lot of down time.
I don't think anything he ever did or will do results in anything tangible. If he does succeed in remaking and destroying the country it will be because it was ripe for such things and because there are other forces behind the scenes propelling him along.
It's not "America" that he and his crowd want to destroy,
it's the cultural foundation on which America is based that they want to destroy - utterly.
Important distinction. However, the former can not exist without the latter.
America certainly cannot exist without the cultural foundation,
but "America" is just the result of that culture,
and destroying America is just the surface target.
They are attempting to destroy the foundation of that target - God.
Great minds and all that. :-)
And I just posted on another thread a minute ago:
If Rush owned a team (and renamed them the New Republicans) the only job Zero would be qualified to do is scoop up the mascots poop.
Last week Jon Stewart continued with the "done nothing" theme on The Daily Show, chiding Obama for not yet getting around to reversing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy about gays. He cited Obama's "full plate" of business.
That's the whole matter here. The "comedians" are unhappy about Obama not being effective at implementing their leftist agenda. That's not a criticism of Obama's agenda, but of his failure to cram it down America's throat.
And even considering that, the "criticism" by "comedians" is tame. They are still preoccupied with trashing Palin's children and President Bush.
I tuned in briefly last night to find Letterboy smearing Governor Palin.
Letterman has lost any standing that he may have had to criticize his betters. He was in a 20+ year relationship with a woman who ultimately bore his child, but for all of that time he was banging who knows how many of his own female employees, most of whom were less than half his age. He's a hypocrite, a cheater, a sexual harrasser...the list is long. If he had any qualities of character and self-respect, he would quit show business and retire to his mansion. But, of course, that would diminish his access to money (he's a liberal, but no opponent of capitalism when it comes to himself) and young females, so that won't happen.
The liberals are VERY VERY concerned about Obama turning into a joke. They don't want their guy to get the same treatment as Bush. They are desperate to keep Obama from getting "the business".
I'm guessing that the dismal economy has sapped away all Obama's gravitas. The Nobel Peace Prize was the last straw. They just couldn't resist that one.
You are so right. As an agnostic conservative, I meet liberals in cyber space all the time that are obsessed with religion. When I try to express that not all conservatives are religious, they can't get past it. Every debate turns back to the religious right.
It also helps explain why they believe the freedom to engage in vice is the only freedom that counts. When really, it isn't religion that will prevent them from doing such but more the simple laws of nature.
Another thought, don't they know wiping out religion has been tried and tried again???
Letterman smears Palin because he can't smear Obama. It's almost comical to see him twist in the wind.
The "laws of nature" are God's laws. Violate them, and there will be consequences. God tells us how to avoid those consequences, and "religion" sets up the "rules" by which we may live with fewer consequences for violating those laws.
Agreed, the left seeks alleviation of those consequences. Every policy they impose on us is an attempt at alleviation, redirecting the cost to "the collective" (ie, you and me).
This, to the left, is "freedom" - freedom from the consequences of your choices that violate nature's laws and the natural consequences that follow.
I so rarely watch these shows maybe I don't have enough facts to know. But it sounds like barbs aimed at B0 so far really are rather mild. They will center on lesser issues and never get to the real reasons why 0 is a disaster. Just like with Clinton. Most of the "joke" were about his weight, or his personal mannerisms, and then the Lewinsky trash. Never any substantive issues on how he was hurting the country.
If the gays and leftys are unhappy with Obama (which they are) then it will be no time at all before the Dinosaur media follows suit. Once that happens the comedians won't be afraid to take shots at him.
Gays are not unhappy with Obama. They just want him to think that. They know he is their best hope for getting what they want. The Democratic Party will pay the price for it and they are trying to reign in Obama.
Prior to WW2, Mussolini tried to keep Hitler from starting the war before he was ready. Hitler desire to go soon costed him. Obama is the same way. The Party wants their media to get the public on board.
I agree with you, and it's a source of frustration for me as well.
However, I'd argue that most Americans don't understand the complexities of (for instance) the Chinese campaign-contributions-for-nuke-secrets scandal. And, a large percentage of those that do, don't care and just flip the channel.
Now, cheating on your wife with the hot and sexy (I know, but humor me....) young office intern ..... that's something everyone can understand, and it's salacious enough to hold their attention. And as a result, Bill Clinton's enduring legacy is nothing more than Lewinsky jokes.
That's why I figure that the thing that takes down BO will be something completely trivial. No complex George Soros world domination conspiracies here. I figure that it will be something like rigging the Nobel prize vote, or having his Birth Certificate say "Caucasian" instead of "African-American".
Something that can be explained in two sentences or less, and using very short words.

I was already using multiple galleries by using the shortcode like this:
[gallery include="477, 463, 462, 461, 459, 460, 458, 457, 456, 455, 454, 453, 452, 476, 451" link="file" order="DESC" columns="5"]
and when I found your plugin I was happy because I would no longer have to manually type the attachment numbers into the include part but only now have I realized that when your plugin is active, the normal gallery insertion shortcode stops working. Codes like this don't work anymore :-(
[gallery link="file" order="DESC" orderby="menu_order" columns="5"]
can this be fixed? I love being able to check which pictures to include but if I don't include any specific images I'd like all attachments to be shown as is the default with wordpress.

By Mr. Douglas Demaio (IMCOM)June 11, 2009
BAMBERG, Germany -- A good working relationship is not something that develops overnight; it can take weeks, months or years to develop, so when U.S. Army Garrison Bamberg's Military Police and the German Polizei joined together for an evening of bowling June 2, the more than three decade bond between the law enforcement organizations was reinforced.
Thirty-five years ago, the Military Police and Polizei began the traditional get-together with a barbecue, said Polizei Detective Robert Exner.
The annual bowling event takes place during German-American Friendship Week, but many of those involved get to know each other outside the event.
Staff Sgt. George M Cyrus Jr., Bamberg's traffic noncommissioned officer in charge, said events every few months are good icebreakers for members of the Polizei and Military Police to maintain continuity.
"You get to know faces," Cyrus said. "They get to know your name."
Members of both groups have frequent interaction with one other during work hours, Cyrus said. The members communicate on several levels. The Military Police respond to incidents in the city when Soldiers are involved and the Polizei respond to incidents on post when the law is broken.
From sharing reports to identifying a subject, Military Police and Polizei work together hand-in-hand, he said. Since Military Police deploy or change duty stations often, the organizations can experience some speed bumps, which is why there two have regular events.
"It's important to have a good working relationship," Exner said.
The process of sharing information is not as difficult when there is a prior relationship established.
When someone from the Polizei is seeking information or documentation about a case or subject, knowing the Soldier on the other end of the telephone makes the operational environment more conducive.
"It makes it a lot easier for me knowing the person," Exner said, who is also the regional President for the International Police Association.
Cyrus had a similar outlook about the connection, but said the relationship is more than just a working relationship. Military Police and Polizei find they have numerous things in common.
Cyrus, who used to be a peace officer for the state of Louisiana, said he has been in Bamberg for three years.
During that time, he has discussed plenty of things with his counterparts.
Cyrus teaches criminal justice classes at the education center for the University of Central Texas College.
"We've talked about the civilian side of law enforcement in the U.S. and the civilian side in Germany," he said.
The discussions focused on the similarities and differences between the two legal systems, Cyrus said.
Food is another topic Cyrus likes to discuss. Having lived in Louisiana, many Polizei ask him about gumbo or cooking crawfish. Cyrus has even cooked for a few of his Polizei friends.
"They were in love with it," he said.
Although work is a time to build on the relationships, the off-hour events and functions like a barbecue or pizza nights help cement the relationship, he said.

Philosophy and Curriculum
The Fishback Center for Early Childhood Education's philosophy is grounded in social constructivism and inquiry-based learning. Children are capable, competent, and able to build their knowledge through exploration and social interaction.
Relationships with caring and responsive teachers are not only children's rights, but are crucial to their growth, learning and development. These relationships help children to nurture their curiosity, to develop questions, and to hypothesize about possible connections so that they may make meaning of their world.
The Fishback Center for Early Childhood Education sees parents as the children's first teachers. Teachers and college students are seen as their second teachers and the environment of learning as their third teacher. Special consideration is given to the materials that are chosen for the children's opportunities for learning and how teachers construct the spaces where children will play, learn and interact with their peers and adults in the center.
In 2001, the teaching teams of the Fishback Center for ECE began to study the work of teachers in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The schools in Reggio Emilia are world renowned and their practices have been considered to influence best practices in the field of early childhood education.
What is the Reggio Emilia Approach? Over the last 20 years or so, Reggio Emilia has been a reference point for those who want to reflect on and seriously discuss the educational reality of their own communities. Therefore, on one level, the Reggio Emilia approach is about teaching and learning in our own communities. The focus is on human relationships and human agency in learning and development. Thus, it challenges the more traditional view of the child-adult relationship as being unidirectional and looks instead at children and adults in a process of mutual and reciprocal relationship (Rinaldi, 2006).
What does it mean to be Reggio-inspired? We say we are inspired by the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach. This means that we have entered into a dialogue with the ideals and principles of the Reggio Emilia approach; but we have no intentions to be like or copy the Reggio Emilia approach. To be inspired by Reggio is about educating young children in our community, in Brookings, South Dakota. The lab school, and all who teach and learn with young children within it, is a "place of encounter and dialogue."
This dialogue is about:
- Embracing children as sources of their own learning and development;
- Viewing learning as a negotiated process among children and between adults and children;
- Understanding that education takes place through relationships;
- Making visible learning processes and relationships. We make inferences about what children are learning through documentation. Because relationships often do not leave traces, we must make these visible. What is essential often escapes our view. "Some of the really important things cannot be measured – that is why we document, to bring to life what usually escapes our eyes and to help teachers discover what is involved in children's learning processes." (Sergio Spaggiari, 2000);
- Working together in making our school/programs learning communities for adults as well as children;
- Thinking in new ways about sharing in children's early education and development.
Listening is a pedagogy. We listen to the children, to parents, to our colleagues, and to our own thinking as an important part of what it means to educate. To listen means:
- To legitimate the other (their theories, questions, point of view).
- To be open to others (differences) and what they have to say.
- To give value and respect.
- To observe, record, and interpret simultaneously.
- To be open to change.
ECE Majors' Explanations of the Fishback Center Philosophy
Focused on Social Constructivism and Inquiry-based Learning, we believe children are competent and capable learners in the fact that they are able to do things for themselves. We emphasize the importance between parents, teachers, children, and campus. The parents are a heavy influence as a primary teacher in the children's lives. Overall our value is that children learn through play and learning is fun! -John, Aleshia, Bobbi, and Marie
Our program is based on social constructivism and inquiry-based learning. We guide the children as they investigate their own questions. We strive to build strong relationships and collaborate with children, parents, and other teachers. By building relationships, we all become enthusiastic and motivated while learning together. –Courtney, Jordan, Casey, Megan, and Heidi
Children construct their knowledge immersed in a social context. This social setting includes teachers, peers, parents, and other adults. We try to help children answer their own questions so the curriculum is meaningful to them. Communication with children, family members and teachers is crucial and builds trusting relationships. We need to remain open to suggestions and to see others' perspectives. – Paula, Laura, Bobbi, Laura, and Kara
We believe that what we plan and do at the Fishback Center should be based on social constructivism and inquiry-based practices.
What does Social Constructivism mean? Social Constructivism is the philosophical belief that all knowledge and the means for acquiring knowledge are constructed in interaction with others in a context. We believe that learning is an active process. Children build relationships with each other and with objects as they learn. Children learn through social process of constructing relationships among and between objects, events, and people through interaction with others in ways that modify their perspectives.
What does it mean to be Inquiry-based? Children are innately curious. They are competent, capable learners who need to find out in order to understand. Curiosity is demonstrated through questioning that is open-ended and investigative, and through inquiry designed to find out something not known, but perhaps anticipated or hypothesized. We believe teaching and learning is an inquiry process.
Children's questions and their ability to make meaning of their world is the basis for our school's curriculum. They work together in small groups, large groups, and also individually to manipulate, problem-solve, and interact in order to make connections.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Pierre Montreal
Travel Blogs from Montreal
... For the record, I smashed Dave! After checking out the Biosphere (the U.S. Expo hall from the World Fair), we headed back to drop off the bikes with sore bums. We worked out we had cycled about 40km that day. We made our way out for a late lunch at Montréal Poutine, where we had a feast of Poutine and freshly smoked meats, along with a local beer called Fin Du Monde. We found out that roughly translated from French it means 'The End of Time', so the potency of ...
The Old, and Cold, Montreal
... the weather, none of us were actually prepared for the weater. After about 30 minutes of walking and stopping to peer into the shops we were ready to sit indoors for a bit again and warm up. We stopped at Mondavie, a bar and cafe on the corner of Rue Saint Paul and Boulevard Saint Laurent. We found stools together at the bar and ordered drinks to warm us up. I got a scotch, Jeremy a beer and Fiona a glass of a bold and fruity red wine. I also ...

Montreal has so much to offer and this was in the dead season (as was apologetically explained to me by many a Montrealer) in the summer months the city plays host to an internationally renowned Jazz festival, a world fireworks competition, and much more besides. Perfect excuse for a return visit I say :D

I just wanted to start a thread to give it up for the guys who played defense today. It wasn't their best game but they played their butts off and gave all they had for the university we love. They could've given up 50 points today but they gave up 35, and that was good enough to win. I'm just tired of hearing about these young kids who give all they have to entertain us and I come on here and see nothing but how awful they played.
Peppers at 10, which seems low.

I have a course in my current semester in which I'm required to do a project on application of AI. I have decided to do this on game AI. I have 2 basic ideas: implementing an FPS bot(s) or implementing soccer AI.
I'm quiet a noob at AI right now, I've implemented basic pathfinding algos (A*, etc), and have studied about Finite state machines, some First Order logic, basic Neural Network stuff(Backpropagation ALgo), and am currently doing a course on Genetic Algorithms.
Our main focus is on the bot right now. Our plans include:
- Each 'bot' would be implemented using a Finite State Machine (FSM), which would contain the possible states the bot could have; & the rules for the action/state changes that are going to take place when it receives an input.
- In bot group movement, each bot would decide whether to strike, ways to strike; based on range, number of bots, existing fights using Neural Networks.
- By using genetic algorithms the opponents next move could be anticipated based on repetitive moves.
Although I've programmed a few 2d games till now in my free time (like pacman, tetris, etc), I've never really gone into the 3d area. We will most probably be using a 3d engine.
We want to concentrate most of our energy on the AI part. We would like not to be bothered with unnecessary details about the animation/3d models, etc. For example, if we could find a framework which has functions like Moveright() which just moves the bot to the right, it would be really awesome.
My basic question is : is it too ambitious to go about it in the way we have planned, considering the duration of the project is abour 3 months? Should we go 3d and use a 3d game engine? is it easy to use such engines, if you have no experience with them before? If yes, what kind of engine would be suitable to our project?
I came accross another idea, given in the book AI Game programming by example, where the player would have a top down view of the bots. Would that way be more appropriate?
Thanks .. sorry about the length of the question .. it's just that my problem is a bit too specific.

Last season an average of 16.6 million people watched regular season NFL games, which was 105 percent higher than the average primetime viewership (8.1 million) for the Big Four networks.Each NFL broadcaster increased its numbers during the regular season from the previous year, from ESPN (up 20.2 percent) to NBC (16.7 percent) to Fox (12.4 percent) to CBS (6.1 percent) to the NFL Network (48.4). The robust ratings extended into the playoffs with a record 106.5 million watching the Saints beat the Colts in the Super Bowl on CBS, topping the previous alltime mark held by the 1983 finale of "M*A*S*H," which was seen by 106 million viewers."Looking at the TV landscape, if you had to pick out one property that you would place some money in terms of stability and consistency of ratings year after year, you would pick the NFL," said CBS Sports and News president Sean McManus. "There is no sport that translates as well to television."But what about the people who bring you the league you love? Here's SI.com's NFL broadcasting guide to the 2010 season:PREGAMEThe NFL Today -- James Brown (host) Bill Cowher (analyst), Boomer Esiason (analyst), Dan Marino (analyst), Shannon Sharpe (analyst), Charley Casserly (information), Sam Ryan (reporter) and Lesley Visser (reporter).BROADCAST TEAMS1.

Spero Dedes (play-by-play) and Randy Cross (analyst)WHAT'S NEWIn what should be an entertaining team for viewers, Eagle replaces Dick Enberg and will partner with the perennially underrated Fouts on the network's third team. Fouts has worked with some of the play-by-play giants of his era, including Enberg, Keith Jackson, Verne Lundquist, AlMichaels and Brent Musburger, and is the rare former star player with experience as a play-by-play broadcaster. He still calls college games for Sports USA."Dan understands all facets of broadcasting and that's rare," Eagle said. "Chemistry you can't force, but I've always thought my biggest strength is adjusting and bringing out the strength of my partners. In this day and age you are judged as a combo, and maybe now more than ever. It's not how I sound, how he sounds, it's how we sound together. Dan has a fun side and I think I can bring that levity out. And trust me, over a long season, that's important." (Eagle should know. He's the voice of the New Jersey Nets.)• Tasker moves up one spot from last season while Dedes, the 31-year-old television voice of the Los Angeles Lakers and a thoughtful game-caller, will be paired with Cross.WHAT'S OLDSame as it ever was. CBS traditionally preaches understated game coverage and pathologically avoids major shake-ups in talent. The network employs no sideline reporters and keeps the focus on the nuts and bolts of the game.WHAT WE'D CHANGEHere's a short definition of hilarious: Chris Rock; The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner;Chappelle's Show. Of course, on The NFL Today, everything is hilarious based on the amount of laughter on the set. Yes, Sharpe and Esiason are occasionally funny, but given the levels of laughter emanating from pals Cowher and Marino, you'd think we were watching The Office. We're not. Dudes, please dial down the chuckle festival.• Last year viewers needed to watch ESPN's Adam Schefter or Fox Sports's Jay Glazer if they wanted info on Cowher's coaching status. That's embarrassing. Cowher occasionally referenced that he was not going to talk about any jobs during the regular season, and while one can respect Cowher for not wanting to provide specifics about potential future employers, it's hard to stomach his not confirming for viewers whether he did or did not meet with an NFL team. As I wrote last year, "Such a mild admission would be much better than joking off coaching-search questions with lame segues."BEST GAMESBengals at Patriots (Sept. 12, 1 p.m.), Colts at Texans (Sept. 12, 1 p.m.) Ravens at Bengals (Sept. 19, 1 p.m.), Dolphins at Vikings (Sept. 19, 1 p.m.), Patriots at Jets (Sept. 19, 4:15 p.m.), Colts at Broncos (Sept. 26, 4:15 p.m.), Titans at Cowboys (Oct. 10, 4:15 p.m.), Dolphins at Packers (Oct. 17, 1 p.m.), Ravens at Patriots (Oct. 17, 1 p.m.), Bengals at Falcons (Oct. 24, 1 p.m.), Patriots at Chargers (Oct. 24, 4:15 p.m.), Titans at Chargers (Oct. 31, 4:05 p.m.), Dolphins at Ravens (Nov. 7, 1 p.m.), Bengals at Colts (Nov. 14, 1 p.m.), Colts at Patriots (Nov. 21, 4:15 p.m.), Bengals at Steelers (Dec. 12, 1 p.m.), Dolphins at Jets (Dec. 12, 4:15 p.m.), Jets at Steelers (Dec. 19, 4:15 p.m.), Dolphins at Patriots (Jan. 2, 1 p.m.), Bengals at Ravens (Jan. 2, 1 p.m.).TRASH-TALKING THE COMPETITION"I think we are primarily about the game on the field and I think we've tried to lessen the effect the announcers might have on the game. We've tried to stick to the basic fundamental coverage of the game itself. Not to say we don't have some really good personalities, but we really try to stick to basics more. I think week in and week out for the football fan and the casual viewer that plays very well." -- McManusOBLIGATORY REX RYAN COMMENT"For any coach, the most important thing is to be yourself, and I don't think there is any question Rex is the kind of guy players respect because he is very consistent with his message. When he says things, he is still very respectable. He respects the game. He certainly does not lack confidence but this is a football team that needed some. I think in a lot of respects it is refreshing to have a Rex Ryan in the NFL because he is being himself. The one thing you cannot do is be something you are not." -- CowherBURNING QUESTIONSI.com: Will we see you in broadcasting five years from now?Cowher: I think it's conceivable but at the same time I am keeping my options open. I had a chance to go to a couple of training camps last year and watching the Super Bowl from the sidelines got my juices flowing. CBS has a family-like atmosphere and I came from one in Pittsburgh. I feel like in the right situation, I would entertain going back, but I feel fortunate and blessed that I am a part of it here at CBS."PREGAMESunday NFL Countdown -- Chris Berman (co-host), Cris Carter (co-host), Mike Ditka (co-host) Tom Jackson (co-host), Keyshawn Johnson (co-host), Chris Mortensen (information/reporter), Adam Schefter (information/reporter), Bob Holtzman (reporter), Rachel Nichols (reporter), Wendi Nix (reporter), Sal Paolantonio (reporter), Michael Smith (reporter) and Ed Werder (reporter).MONDAY PREGAMEMonday Night Countdown -- Berman, Carter, Trent Dilfer (analyst), Ditka, Jackson, Johnson, Matt Millen (analyst), Mortensen, Stuart Scott (host), Steve Young (analyst), Suzy Kolber (reporter), Schefter and Michele Tafoya (reporter).MONDAY BROADCASTMonday Night Football -- Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Ron Jaworski (analyst), Jon Gruden (analyst), Kolber (reporter), Tafoya (reporter).WHAT'S NEW"We're going to take it to the next level," said Monday Night Football producer Jay Rothman. And what exactly is the next level? "How we document the game level and how we use our technologies better to help break down the game," Rothman said. "We have a better understanding of each other. It's like a Broadway show. The more you work together, the more reps you have, the better you will be. This year will be hardcore football with an entertaining spin."Along those lines Gruden says he will be more comfortable in his second year in the booth. "I kind of know the drill a little bit but I still feel nervous up here," he said. "I get into the game sometimes too much and forget I'm analyzing it. You have to be a great listener in a three-man booth. The real good analysts stay on line with what's being said up here. What I do well is I try to be myself and hopefully bring enthusiasm and legitimate excitement for every game. I try to be positive whether that's right or wrong. I try to see the good things going on here and call it like it is. I don't want to focus on the negative but I try to see things on the brighter side. And I try to be prepared."Thankfully, ESPN has put an end to assigning Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic to its opening week NFL broadcast, a designation done clearly to promote the Mike & Mike brand above all. Brad Nessler and Dilfer will call Chargers-Chiefs on Sept. 13, which gives the always prepared Dilfer a chance to strut his stuff in front of a large audience.WHAT'S OLDRemarkably, the talent above has not changed from last year. Neither has the enthusiasm from ESPN executives for all things Gruden. "He's got the juice, man," said Rothman. "He's got just a unique ability to inform, educate, entertain. He's creative as hell. He looks at things differently. He's fun, energetic; he has the juice, and the glam factor. He's a rare bird, man. He raises the level of camera operators, replay folks, he gets people to perform."WHAT WE'D CHANGEThis has been said in this space before, but Johnson tends to dominate Countdown far too much, especially since the set should be led by the measured and thoughtful opinions of Jackson."I see myself as a kind of a chameleon when it comes to the groupings that we've had, the changes that's we've had, and the adjustments that I've had to make over the years," Jackson said. "I know I started out closer to Boom [Chris Berman].... But I think I have effectively understood more and more about TV, and when more is less and less is more."• Berman remains a house organ for the NFL but Countdown is where he excels. We'd just like to see him comment as little as possible on issues of relevance because we can already get the same opinion from the NFL's communication department.• Schefter and Mortensen have increased their reach significantly via Twitter and it's odd that Paolantonio and Werder, both excellent reporters, have not done the same.• Lastly, Gruden's enthusiasm and knowledge of the game is enjoyable, but he does need to dial down the superlatives. "He's going to be more objective this year," Rothman predicted. "I think it's a goal of his. But to his credit, he's a positive person. I'll defend him by saying you'd see that if you are around him. He's not a negative guy. He's a not a downer or a naysayer. He doesn't want to be critical to create a headline. Yet he can be critical, and you saw that in his "QB Camp" and you'll see more of that."BEST GAMESRavens at Jets (Sept. 13, 7 p.m.), Saints at Niners (Sept. 20, 8:30 p.m.),Packers at Bears (Sept. 27, 8:30 p.m.), Patriots at Dolphins (Oct. 4, 8:30 p.m.), Vikings at Jets (Oct. 11, 8:30 p.m.),Giants at Cowboys (Oct. 25, 8:30 p.m.), Steelers at Bengals (Nov. 8, 8:30 p.m.), Eagles at Redskins (Nov. 15, 8:30 p.m.), Jets at Patriots (Dec. 6, 8:30 p.m.), Saints at Falcons (Dec. 27, 8:30 p.m.).TRASH-TALKING THE COMPETITION"You know what? I think the guys that are calling our game are credible, they work their asses off and they are very much in the know. It's not just reading Internet clips or articles. Jon and Jaws watch every frame of tape and every play and analyze everything, and their analysis and opinions are based on what's on tape. They do read but it's not based on secondhand information. I just think we have two of the most credible guys and I believe our play by play guy is unmatched in terms of his knowledge and talent and how he steers the ship. We have a good thing going and we relish it. We never give up on games. We work until the clock hits zero." - RothmanOBLIGATORY REX RYAN COMMENT"I always had this thing about the football Gods. I told our teams that when you die you go to heaven and you watch football games. Acting like that, they'll strike you dead. There's a certain etiquette or sportsmanship we have all been taught since Day One. Don't give your opponent anything to put on a bulletin board. Obviously, this guy is who he is. He sticks to his guns and I do admire people who do that. But I can tell you that it motivates the guys I have talked with." -- GrudenBURNING QUESTIONSSI.com:The New York Times wrote that "Jon Gruden must learn to call a game as if he will never coach one again." Can you be critical of players and coaches?Gruden: I think they want me to call the game and probably be more critical of the left guard or coach, the owners or the facilities. They want me to be more critical, to say the least. It might happen a little bit this year. I've been humiliated on sports radio and I've heard the negative comments, so I'm going to try to be critical the right way. I'm not going to beat a dead horse. There is a lot of negativity that surrounds every player, coach and GM in this league. I'm going to try not to pile on.SI.com: You turned 47 on Aug. 17. Is it realistic to think that a 47-year-old with your success will never go back into coaching?Gruden: I want to do this long enough where I can have Jay Rothman or [ESPN president] George Bodenheimer say, "You know, man, you are not good enough. We are going to go in another direction." I'd also like them to come down and say we'd like you to keep doing this. I've done nothing but coach. I want to do this long enough to see if I'm any good at it and if I really like it. But I'm not going to lie to anyone. I love coaching. I love teaching and being with players. And I miss it. But this is exciting and I get to be around guys, which scratches the itch."PREGAMEFox NFL Sunday -- Curt Menefee (host), Terry Bradshaw (co-host), Howie Long (analyst), Jimmy Johnson (analyst), Michael Strahan (analyst), Jay Glazer (reporter), Mike Pereira (rules analyst) and Frank Caliendo (comedian).BROADCAST TEAMS1.

Chris Myers/Chris Rose (play-by-play), Kurt Warner (analyst).WHAT'S NEWPlenty. Fox's major tweak this season comes with the hiring of Pereira, the former NFL vice president of officiating. He'll work from a control room at the FOX Network Center in Los Angeles with access to every game on the schedule. Fox says Pereira will have assistance from 16 college and high school officials (as well as former NFL replay officials), who'll be watching the game with him. If circumstances warrant a rules interpretation or explanation, he'll be available to interact with the studio crew as well as every NFL on Fox game crew, either on- or off-camera."We think it will be pretty damn interesting, and anyone who knows Mike knows that his 15 years as head of officiating was merely a steppingstone to a TV career," said Fox Sports president Eric Shanks. "The number one thing when you do research is fans expect from your crew to know the rules. They want no confusion around the game. The combination of Mike's personality along with the fact that he is the foremost authority on the rules was a perfect fit for us."• Warner was a bright and effusive interview subject. Now we'll see if that translates to the booth. His first assignment comes Oct. 10, when the Saints play at the Cardinals. At the moment he's only scheduled to do a handful of games.• Network executives are high on Mora Jr., the former Falcons and Seahawks coach who will call his first game Sept. 12 in Pittsburgh. "We did a rehearsal game in Denver with his crew and he has an aggressiveness about him," Shanks said. "He's not afraid to tell you exactly what he's thinking or what he thinks a team should be doing. I think he's going to be very good."• Fox will air Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6 from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Look for the network to bang that drum throughout the season.WHAT'S OLDThe trio of Aikman, Buck and Oliver -- who have been together for nine years -- has now surpassed Pat Summerall and John Madden as the network's longest-tenured team. (Buck and Aikman will call their third Super Bowl at the end of the season.) Stockton, Pitts and Albert have worked on football since FOX Sports's inception in 1994. The pregame show has won the ratings battle for the past 16 consecutive years, a testament to the show's stable lineup and the huge built-in advantage of being in NFC markets.WHAT WE'D CHANGEFor starters, we'd permanently ban Ryan Seacrest from working the red carpet at the Super Bowl but you know the cross-promotion happy executives at Fox can't help themselves. Last year we suggested Fox follow ESPN's lead and give some airtime to a Fantasy expert before kickoff. They didn't take our advice, and don't look for them to do so in the future."My personal opinion is people who have fantasy teams are the most aggressive at finding the information that matters most," Shanks said. "If we had a dedicated fantasy analyst, I don't think it gets you one more viewer, because we cast a pretty wide net on Sundays. The fantasy person is locked into his or her websites, where information is flowing back and forth. I think the Fantasy audience gets served in a different way. The hour before kickoff on Sunday is a place to start getting settled in, to be entertained and to get some broader information."• Siragusa's shtick is tired but Fox brass seems enamored with him.BEST GAMESPackers at Eagles (Sept. 12, 4:15 p.m.), Bears at Cowboys (Sept. 19, 1 p.m.), Falcons at Saints (Sept. 26, 1 p.m.), Redskins at Eagles (Oct. 3, 4:15 p.m.), Cowboys at Vikings, (Oct. 17, 4:15 p.m.), Packers at Jets (Oct. 31, 1 p.m.), Vikings at Patriots (Oct. 31, 4:15 p.m.), Cardinals at Vikings (Nov. 7, 1 p.m.), Vikings at Bears (Nov. 14, 1 p.m.), Cowboys at Giants (Nov. 14, 4:15 p.m.), Packers at Vikings (Nov. 21, 1 p.m.), Saints at Cowboys (Thanksgiving, 4:15 p.m.), Packers at Falcons (Nov. 28, 1 p.m.), Niners at Packers (Dec. 5, 1 p.m.), Saints at Bengals (Dec. 5, 1 p.m.), Cowboys at Colts (Dec. 5, 4:15 p.m.), Redskins at Cowboys (Dec. 19, 1 p.m.), Eagles at Giants (Dec. 19, 1 p.m.), Saints at Ravens (Dec. 19, 1 p.m.), Giants at Packers (Dec. 26, 4:15 p.m.), Cardinals at Niners (Jan. 2, 2011, 4:15 p.m.).TRASH-TALKING THE OPPONENTS"I think that we are constantly innovating with new things and Mike Pereira is a good example of it. At the core of it, we have this thing called "Fox Attitude." We do the games better than anybody else, but once you have the cornerstone of doing the games better than anybody else, you are able to go to that next level to what we call "Fox Attitude," which is making sure the guy on the couch is having fun listening to announcers that like each other." -- ShanksOBLIGATORY REX RYAN COMMENT"He doesn't make a tackle. He doesn't run a ball. He doesn't make a catch or throw a ball. He just sits over there. Unfortunately, I don't think his players are quite as strong-minded as he is... He's putting a lot of pressure on his young quarterback. If they can't run the ball, they're going to have to throw it, and they can't pass protect. He'll shut up real quick. You know what? I don't like guys like that, OK?" -- Bradshaw, to Louisiana television station KTBS.BURNING QUESTIONSI.com: Why allow your network information man (Glazer) to work for a competing entity (The NFL Network)?Shanks: "I think Jay, as we work through this, is going to have to figure out exactly how he couches some of the information he has for them during the week. He is still going to have the best inside information held for FoxNFL Sunday."PREGAMEFootball Night In America -- Bob Costas (host), Dan Patrick (co-host), Tony Dungy (analyst), Rodney Harrison (analyst), Peter King (reporter and SI.com football writer).BROADCASTSunday Night Football -- Al Michaels (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst) and Andrea Kremer (sideline reporter).WHAT'S NEWLook for Dungy and Harrison to start leading more conversations during the pregame show. "The big thing we stressed to them during our August meetings was you are not rookies anymore," said NBC Sports executive producer Sam Flood. "It's no longer asking things like: 'Where do I put my ear piece? Now it's time to throw punches and combinations. Let's react to each other. You don't have to always be set up by Dan Patrick. I want Tony to come back at Rodney if Rodney says something. It doesn't always have to go through the middleman. That dynamic developed at the end of last year and I just want to grow some more."Keith Olbermann will not be back on the Football Night In America and the Keystone Kops manner in which NBC Sports refused to officially comment on his status for weeks was beyond silly. If Olbermann is gone, say it and move on. SI.com was told a couple of weeks ago that "the higher ups" would soon thunder down with a decision, and that came long after this Aug. 5 report declaring that Olbermann would not be back on the show.The network wants sideline reporter Andrea Kremer to become a major presence in the social media space. Why? "Social media and the Internet are the greatest thing to happen to a sideline reporter in my opinion," said Fred Gaudelli, the producer of Sunday Night Football. "Sideline reporters can give observation after observation of what they are seeing from the field perspective without interruption. I want to use Andrea on TV, and she's a big part of what we do, but she can provide so much more to a co-mingled audience. You cannot interrupt the flow of the game constantly. You just can't do it. You will tick people off. But she can provide that information on a different platform, and I think social media will keep sideline reporting alive. "• Pro Football Talk.com editor and founder Mike Florio will appear with Costas during the postgame to review some of the major items of the week. It'll be interesting to see if Florio's tone on NBC matches the entertaining sarcasm that flows through his site.WHAT'S OLDMichaels and Collinsworth enter their second year together in the booth after a debut season that went as smoothly as possible following the retirement of Madden. "John has a great passion and reverence for the game of football and Cris has a great passion and a dose of irreverence for the game of football," Gaudelli said. "In that regard, it was definitely different. John wanted everything focused on the game and, to a great extent, that's why people do tune in. Cris has worn a lot of different hats in broadcasting and he likes to go different places, as does Al. Al would always step outside the box with John and go at some things alone. With Cris. he now has a willing partner."• How can a pregame show draw traction with viewers competing against live games? "I think because of the people on the set and the game we are leading up to," Flood said. "Week after week this is the game you want to see. People are going to want to come and be ready for that game. Then you have our talent."WHAT WE'D CHANGENBC has improved its broadcast over the past couple of years with some wise cuts (Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber) and moving Costas to the game site. Dungy has proved to be much more provocative than expected. NBC should get him as much airtime as possible. We'd also like to see Harrison on Twitter given the interest in last year's fake Rodney Harrison account. Here's also hoping NBC is more forthcoming on future moves than it was on Olbermann.BEST GAMESVikings at Saints (Sept. 9, 8:30 p.m.), Giants at Colts (Sept. 19, 8:30 p.m.), Jets at Dolphins (Sept. 26, 8:20 p.m.), Vikings at Packers (Oct. 24, 8:20 p.m.), Steelers at Saints (Oct. 31, 8:20 p.m.), Cowboys at Packers (Nov. 7, 8:20 p.m.), Patriots at Steelers (Nov. 14, 8:20 p.m.), Chargers at Colts (Nov. 28, 8:20 p.m.), Steelers at Ravens (Dec. 5, 8:20 p.m.), Packers at Patriots (Dec. 19, 8:20 p.m.), Chargers at Bengals (Dec. 26, 8:20 p.m.).TRASH-TALKING THE OPPONENTS"Why does NBC do football better? I would boil it down to two things: Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth. That's why we do football better." -- Gaudelli.OBLIGATORY REX RYAN COMMENT"If you're the Jets, you haven't owned the AFC East. The Patriots have honestly owned the AFC East. I've said this before: It's one thing if a player trash talks. You can handle your business against that player on the field. But if a coach starts trash talking, guess what? He hasn't made one tackle. He hasn't caught the ball. He hasn't thrown one touchdown. As a player, you get even more frustrated when a coach starts trash talking. You better believe the Patriots have that circled. They hate the Jets and they hate them even more now. " --HarrisonBURNING QUESTIONSI.com: Your opinions lately have toucheda nerve with people, including Rex Ryan. Why do you think that is?Tony Dungy: "I'm not sure why it's looked at that way. A lot of people have opinions. I don't think I'm an overly-opinionated person, but I guess some of the things I do have opinions about maybe touch nerves with people. That particular thing was not directed at Rex Ryan. It was directed at the language that goes across television. I have had those opinions in the past. I would not call myself controversial in the least, but apparently some people think so."PREGAMENFL GameDay Morning -- Rich Eisen (Host), Steve Mariucci (analyst), Marshall Faulk (analyst), Warren Sapp (analyst), Michael Irvin (analyst), JasonLaCanfora (field reporter), Michael Lombardi (field reporter), Kara Henderson (field reporter), Steve Wyche (reporter), Stacey Dales (part-time reporter).POSTGAMENFL GameDay Highlights -- Eisen (host), Sanders (analyst), Mariucci (analyst).NFL GameDay Final -- Fran Charles (Host), Sanders (analyst), Mariucci (analyst), Irvin (analyst).BROADCASTThursday Night Football -- Bob Papa (play-by-play), Matt Millen (analyst), Joe Theismann (analyst).WHAT'S NEWThe hiring of Theismann was as uninspiring as it was unoriginal. It's also a canard for anyone at the NFL Network to assert that Theismann bashing originates with critics. Viewers have consistently and clearly, through blogs, social media and other means, asserted that they do not enjoy listening to Theismann on game coverage. He dominates the airwaves, often to the point where his three-man booth becomes a one-man play. He is provocative, for sure, and more apt to say something memorable than Millen, which is why Theismann would be better in the studio. He's tight with broadcasting and NFL executives and that plays into decisions with talent (represented by high-powered agents) who have moved around the dial.Since its first season, The NFL Network has had issues of continuity in the booth. Its game broadcast has included Bryant Gumbel, Collinsworth, Dick Vermeil, Faulk and Sanders before the team of Papa and Millen debuted in 2009. A couple of days after an NFLN executive spoke about booth stability, the network issued a press release hyping Theismann as one of the "premier analysts in the business." The release reminded me of the great Dr. Z's last review of Theismann.Mariucci's a little too rah-rah for me but his access to Brett Favre and coaches is a big asset for the network. Eisen replaces Dedes on the pregame show and recently signed a new contract with the network. His exposure will grow, including producing podcasts for the network.• After a heavy press campaign last year for her, Dales seems to have disappeared from the network.• Paul Burmeister is the new host of the NFL GameDay Scoreboard, which airs during the late afternoon window of games on Sunday.• Fran Charles replaces Eisen on NFL Game Day Final.• NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger said he is contemplating sending his studio crew to the game site before NFLN's Thursday night game coverage. That could be a cool move.WHAT'S OLDFaulk doesn't have the Q-rating of a Dan Marino or a Steve Young but he's a terrific analyst who is ahead of the curve time after time. I really like him. Last year he made a prescient call on Titans quarterback Vince Young before Young led the Titans to a win over the Jaguars on Nov. 1. "He might inject some energy into this team," Faulk said. "They may go out and play with a different sense of urgency." Young ended up winning eight of his 10 starts last season.• I give Irvin credit for convincing another network that he's a good analyst. The loquacious one adds another gig as one of the analysts on NFL GameDay Final.WHAT WE'D CHANGEFirst, we'd scour the earth to put together the smartest minds to build a time machine. Then, we'd travel back two weeks ago and make a strong pitch to NFLN executives to not go down the Theismann path.BEST GAMESRavens at Falcons (Nov. 11, 8:20 p.m.), Bears at Dolphins (Nov. 18, 8:20 p.m.) Bengals at Jets (Nov. 25, 8:20 p.m.), Colts at Titans (Dec. 9, 8:20 p.m.), Niners at Chargers (Dec. 16, 8:20 p.m.).TRASH-TALKING THE COMPETITION"We do it every day of the year. Better is an interesting word. It may be a little different. Everyone is doing some high-class football productions. We are pushing each other to do more and more. Why we do it different, or why do we think we do it better is we focus on football and we focus on access that we get to players and coaches. We have a camera at every facility and we are behind the scenes more than anyone else can be. It's just a football fan's dream. We give more content than anyone else and we are promoting football more than anyone else. I think our talent across the board is working at a very high level and I think it's because we are on 24 hours a day." -- WeinbergerOBLIGATORY REX RYAN COMMENT"Your coach writes "SOON TO BE CHAMPIONS" on a bus that's going around the country? Wait a minute. It's one thing for us to think we're internally confident and know what we can get done inside this building. It's another thing to write it on the side of a bus that is driving around the country because every team on the NFL schedule has now checked you off on the schedule and said, 'Here's how we measure ourselves against the Soon-To-Be Champions.' " -- SappBURNING QUESTIONSI.com: Why is Glazer a good hire for your network (Glazer will appear on NFL Network's NFL Total Access and other shows and specials throughout the year) when Fox has said he will keep his best stuff for Fox NFL Sunday?Weinberger: "I think "best" is however you look at it. What they mean is he is going to continue breaking his exclusive news on his primary broadcaster. We are looking at an opportunity to broaden Jay's personality, broaden his role in the NFL. One of the real exciting parts of this for him is he gets a chance Monday through Saturday with the NFL Network to continue to grow his brand that people love and know. He doesn't really have that opportunity anywhere else but here. He will not be expected or asked to break news first here at the NFL Network." More NFL
