....as I know it anyway. I was skiing this past weekend up in Vermont at Sugarbush and Bolton Valley, fantastic days, snow was great and plentiful . Some of the southern facing slope got a bit of sun so it was thin in the woods on some steep stuff where I should probably still be.
On Sunday at Bolton Valley, my brother and I took this trail thought the woods goes to a small openning with a series of large rocks with small, and pretty much mandatory drops (2'-9') . Now i have been in here before mind you, I had a seasons pass here one season when I was in college at UVM. Knowing it was pretty soft snow, facing South and too steep to hold much snow if not wind loaded I was just going to look down the 14' drop (measured with a standard US measuring tape) which I had done before. I teased my brother I was going to do it. And he told me I was nucking futs :nuts: as I had to jump out past two stumps and a rock point only to land on dirt, roots and or rocks and maybe some snow. (Same brother who 2 runs earlier tired a front flip of a rock that was only about 4" tall, and didnt quite make it but found it really cool anyway yard saling most of his gear ) So I never intended to do as there was no way I get a run up to it with speed b/c of the trees above and the landing wasnt long enough anyway before the woods got thick again.
I started backing out of that area and stepping over and around some small growth and tiny stumps. As I went to do a jump turn my down hill ski got caught on one of those pruned alder stumps and I fell head first down to the next ledge where I was suppose to jump to except I shoulder checked that rock, bouncing off it falling 9' (meaured not estimated) belly up head first onto that a half buried rock hitting square with my ass/tailbone/lowerback, which was about 2' in diameter and fotunately pretty smooth. Then smacked the back of my head on the snow and some dirt (thats why I where a helmet), tumbled another 20' or so trying to slow down and finally coming to a stop as the right side of my back hit against a tree. I just laid there for a minute wondering what exactly I broke and what I was going to do if i couldnt move my legs. My brother quickly got to me. He thought I was knocked out at best but then I moaned and he told me I was an idiot as if i tired to do that.
Suprisingly but slowly I stood up trying to check to see if could still move as my brother collected my gear that was all over the place. Amazingly I didnt feel like I broke and severly damaged anything. I was able to ski down and actually was convinced into taking one more run down that some how, which I didnt screw around on at all, and even the 6' drop I did was more than I wanted to. So this morning I am black and blue on my ass and left side of my lower back and a horizontal bruise on my right lat where I stopped against the tree. Still dont think I broke anything but my pelvis is really tender and I am moving pretty slow.
If I hadnt been had as much muscle and the strong bones from loading them when I lift and eating decent and taking my vitamins I am sure this would have been a different story I am telling and probably one written with some case or brace on maybe in a hospital.
Next skiing trip is Thursday, hehee
Stay in shape people, strong bodies saves lives

David M. Sparby - Chief Financial Officer

Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates

Good morning ladies and gentlemen and thank you for standing by. And welcome to the Xcel Energy Third Quarter 2009 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all the participants are in a listen-only mode. And following the formal presentation instructions will be given for the question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions). And as a reminder, this conference is being recorded today, Thursday, October 29, 2009.
At this time, I would now like to turn the conference over to your host Paul Johnson, who is the Managing Director for Investor Relations and Assistant Treasurer. Sir, you may now begin.
Paul Johnson
Thank you and welcome to Xcel Energy's third quarter 2009 earnings release conference call. I'm Paul Johnson. With me today is Ben Fowke, President, Chief Operating Officer; Dave Sparby, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer; Teresa Madden, Vice President and Controller; Scott Wilensky, Vice President of Regulatory and Resource Planning and George Tyson, Vice President and Treasurer.
Today, we plan to cover our third quarter results and provide a business update. In addition, we'll provide additional information on our 2009 guidance.
Please note that there are slides that accompany the conference call which are available on our webpage. Let me remind you that some of our comments may contain forward-looking information. Significant factors that could cause results to differ from those anticipated are described in our earnings release and our filings with the SEC. You'll also notice that today's press release refers to both GAAP and ongoing earnings. Since it wasn't a material difference between GAAP and ongoing earnings, we'll refer to GAAP earnings during this morning's discussion. I will now turn the call over to Ben.
Benjamin G.S. Fowke III
Thanks Paul and welcome everyone. This morning we reported third quarter 2009 earnings of 221 million or $0.48 per share compared with 223 million or $0.51 per share in 2008.
In a few moments Dave Sparby will walk you through the results. I'd like to focus my comments on how we're performing relative to our expectations from the beginning of the year.
Let me begin with sales, going into 2009, we forecasted weather normalized electric sales would be roughly flat with 2008. As you are well aware electric sales nationwide had been adversely impacted by the economic down turn.
And while the impact on our service territory has been less dramatic, year to-date weather adjusted electric sales are down 1.7%. As a result, we estimate that the decline in electric good sales reduced our year-to-date earnings by a little more than $0.02 per share.
However, the decline in electric sales has largely been confined to the C&I class and the impact has been partially mitigated by demand revenue. On a consolidated basis, our year-to-date residential weather adjusted sales have actually increased by 0.5%.
While the economy has generally been an issue for all companies across the United States, weather and tax issues have been the most significant drivers in the third quarter and year-to-date results for us. Year-to-date weather has reduced earnings by $0.06 per share with a majority of the impact in the third quarter.
In addition, we've experienced a higher than expected effective tax rate which reduced earnings by a little over $0.02 per share year-to-date.
Offset the impact of unfavorable weather, lower sales and a higher effective tax rate, we've taken actions throughout the year to reduce expenses in order to deliver earnings within our guidance range. As a result of these actions, we expect our 2009 earnings to be near the midpoint of our guidance range of $1.45 to $1.55 per share.
At the same time, we're meeting our financial objectives. We're also providing excellent customer service and reliability to our customers, where we've seen improvements in both customer satisfaction and reliability indicators in 2009.
So with that, I'll turn the call over to Dave Sparby, who'll walk you through the third quarter details and provide a regulatory update.
David M. Sparby
Thanks. As Ben mentioned we reported third quarter earnings of $0.48 per share compared to $0.51 per share a year ago.
Let's now take a look at the details, starting with the review on the quarterly results at each of our subsidiaries.
Third quarter earnings at PSCo were flat. The positive impact of the electric rate increase that went into effect in July was offset by rising costs and unfavorable weather.
At NSP-Minnesota, third quarter earnings declined by $0.05 per share. This decline resulted largely from cooler than normal temperatures, a higher effective tax rate and timing of nuclear outage costs.
At SPS, earnings increased by $0.03 per share for the quarter.
We continue to financial results due to 2009 electric rate increases in Texas and New Mexico and the resolution of fuel cost issues.
At NSP-Wisconsin, earnings were flat compared with third quarter last year.
As we look at the quarter on a consolidated basis there are lots of ups and downs that explain the $0.03 per share decline. So it can really be summarized in two words, weather and taxes.
We experienced very cool temperatures this summer which reduced earnings $0.05 per share when compared to normal temperatures and $0.04 per share when compared to last year.
Couple of interesting facts on third quarter weather. In Minneapolis, there were 40% less cooling degree days than normal. While in Denver, it was 26% less cooling degree days than normal. In addition, in both cities, there was less the half the number of days exceeding 90 degrees compared to normal which is just all another way of saying, it was really cool this summer.
Now as you read through our earnings release, you may have noticed that our quarterly effective tax rate was 38.4% for 2009 compared with 35.3% for 2008.
The impact of a higher effective tax rate reduced earnings by $0.02 per share. It was primarily due to the recognition of additional state unitary tax expense and the establishment of evaluation allowance against certain state tax credit carryovers. As a result, we now expect our annual effective tax rate to approach 36%.
Next I'll provide more detail regarding drivers that affect various lines of the income statement during the quarter. Electric margin increased by 85 million during the quarter. This was largely driven by rate increases in Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico and Wisconsin. These rate changes increased electric margin by 98 million. Conservation revenue, non-fuel riders and the MERP rider all served to increase retail electric margin by a total of 27 million.
It's important to recognize that these increases in the conservation revenue recovery are largely offset by higher conservation and DSM expense. A couple of factors partially offset these positive results including cooler summer temperatures which reduced margin by 26 million, accruals to record a customer refund of 25 million. This adjustment largely related to a decision in the Minnesota rate case to extend the depreciable life of our Prairie Island nuclear plant.
This is offset by lower depreciation expense and finally, higher capacity cost primarily at SPS which reduced margins by 11 million.
Turning to expenses, third quarter O&M expenses increased about 44 million or 10% compared with 2008.
As we've discussed previously, in the third quarter 2008, the Minnesota Commission approved our deferral and amortization accounting recommendation for nuclear refueling outages effective to the beginning of 2008.
This decision resulted in a year-to-date reduction of previously expensed outage costs and the deferral of revenue associated with the recovery of the nuclear outage expenses.
The timing of this adjustment resulted in an O&M deviation of $27 million for the quarter. In addition, we have experienced rising benefit cost for pension, medical expense and higher nuclear operating costs. As Ben mentioned, we've taken action to manage our O&M expenses and will continue to so as we finish the year. While we're taking steps to reduce costs, we will not sacrifice customer service or reliability.
As you look at the quarterly deviations in our annual guidance, you will note that depreciation expense is lower than previously expected. This reflects the recent Minnesota Commission decision to extend the depreciable life of Prairie Island by 10 years which reduced both the rate increase and the depreciation expense.
Next, I'll touch on some recent regulatory developments and our major jurisdictions. First in Minnesota, the PUC recently approved $91 million rate relief based on a 10.88 return on equity.
The primary difference between our request and the level of the approved by the Commission was the recognition for rate making purposes of a 10 year life extension for our Prairie Island nuclear facility.
This decision lowered both our revenue requirement and our annual depreciation and decommissioning expenses by about $40 million. This adjustment will not affect net income but it will reduce cash flow. Overall, we view the decision as a constructive outcome.
In Colorado, we have a pending request seeking an electric rate increase of $177 million based on a 2010 forecast test year and an 11.25% return on equity.
In September 2009, interveners filed testimony recommending rate increases below our request based on an adjusted historic test year.
In mid-October, we filed our rebuttal testimony which included a proposed earnings test to address intervener concerns regarding the forward test year.
Hearings have started and we expect a decision before year-end with new rates effective January 2010.
While the intervener testimony is disappointing, we remain optimistic we'll reach a constructive outcome in this rate case much like we've done in the past.
In June, we filed a request to increase Wisconsin retail electric rates by 30 million and proposed no change in our natural gas rates. This request is based on an ROE of 10.75% and a 2010 forecast test year. Staff recommended a rate increase of 14.5 million based on a 10.75 ROE and a 51.6 equity ratio, about 6.5 million of this staff's recommendation is the result of changes in depreciation for the life of Prairie Island.
We expect a decision by year-end and new rates effective in January 2010.
Also in June, we filed a request to increase South Dakota electric rates by $19 million based on an ROE of 11.25% and a 2008 historic test year with adjustments for known and measurable changes.
This is the first rate case we filed in South Dakota since 1992. We expect a decision by year-end with new rates effective January 2010. That includes my prepared comments. Now I'd like to turn the call back to Ben for some closing remarks.
Benjamin G.S. Fowke III
Thanks, Dave. Historically, we've issued our next year's earnings guidance on our third quarter earnings call. However, due to pending rate cases, we plan to issue 2010 earnings guidance later in the year. Let me give you some insight into 2010.
The key driver is clearly the Colorado rate case where we expect a decision by year-end. Rate increases in Wisconsin and South Dakota will also have an impact, however, to a lesser extent.
We expect electric sales will bottom in 2009 and grow about 1% in 2010. While we continue to strive to keep costs down, we expect O&M expenses will continue to increase driven largely by nuclear costs, pension and medical expenses and plant additions.
Depreciation expense will increase and AFUDC earnings will decrease due to the completion of major projects like Comanche 3, Fort St. Vrain and the river side repowering.
In summary, the combination of cool weather, a higher effective tax rate and a sluggish economy has made it a challenging year. That being said, we remain committed to achieving our financial objectives and providing value for our shareholders. We're confident we will deliver earnings within our guidance range. So with that I'll turn it back over to Dave and open it up for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we will begin the question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions). And our first question does come from the line of Paul Patterson with Glenrock Associates. Please go ahead.
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Good morning guys.
David Sparby
Good morning, Paul.
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Just on the tax issue, how should we think of 2010, what's the tax rate that we should be thinking about now in 2010?
David Sparby
Paul we'll provide more guidance later in the year. One of the factors that affected our effective tax rate this year was bonus depreciation which will expire at the end of the year.
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Okay. And then when you talked about Colorado in the forward test year and your disappointing intervener testimony as you saw it. Is there any possibility of settlement in Colorado? Or we really passed that point and time?
David Sparby
Colorado is always the possibility for settlement up until the time of the Commission's decision.
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Okay. When we're talking about -- you guys have gone through a large number of rate cases, and by the end of this year or by the beginning of next year, really most of these things will be completed.
How should we think about the regulatory landscape or your plans to go in for additional regulatory relief or when you might need to do so?
Just sort of generally speaking after all that you've sort of accomplished so far, obviously depends on once you sort of get a certain degree in some of these jurisdictions that haven't come out. But could you give a little bit of a flavor for that?
David Sparby
Paul, at this time, we're looking at our gas assets here at Minnesota and considering a rate change in this jurisdiction, we're also looking at our wholesale rates in our Colorado jurisdiction and those are what we're seeing in the near-term for rate relief.
Benjamin G.S. Fowke III
Paul, this is Ben. I would just say it would -- we continue to invest very heavily in our infrastructure and into the environment within all our jurisdictions. So I think you can expect that we'll be filing rate cases fairly routinely in all our jurisdictions. But that's what we've been doing obviously in over the last few years.
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Okay. So by routinely you mean within 12 months or so we might be seeing new rate cases being filed on the -- and I know you guys will have a lot of clauses and stuff as well, so we might be actually seeing more general rate cases coming out of these jurisdictions the next?
Benjamin G.S. Fowke III
I wouldn't say every 12 months. Paul as you know one of the reasons -- one of the helpful things about riders et cetera is that it helps minimize the -- how often you have to file rate cases and how large those rate cases are and one of the things I think we've been successful in is not having to ask for double-digit kind of increases basically. So...
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Okay. And then just finally, when you're talking to your industrial customers and your large commercial customers, what is their expectation for the economy in 2010? Do you have any general sense as to what your people on the field are gathering from your discussions with major consumers of electricity?
David Sparby
Our estimates for sales as Ben discussed about 1% reflects generally the consensus of those customers Paul. We developed our forecast in part based on their expectations, together with our modeling of their historic usage and bringing that together with some broader indicators from global insights and we found in the areas we serve very much a consensus around that 1% figure. So it's a slow recovery.
Paul Patterson - Glenrock Associates
Okay. Thank you very much.
Our next question comes from the line of Dan Jenkins with the State of Wisconsin Investment Board. Please go ahead.
David Sparby
Good morning, Dan.
Dan Jenkins - State of Wisconsin Investment Board
Hi, good morning. I was curious on the O&M expense, the biggest side in those nuclear outage cost deferrals and so forth and kind of the change of the timing of that and I was wondering -- looking forward into 2010, how should we think about that, given the changes that have gone on there, do you expect that –to be basically flat year-over-year, go down based on schedule -- what should we be thinking there?
David Sparby
Dan, it will vary a little bit depending on the outage schedule but as we move through an outage of each of the units this year we will see that expense become much more normalized from year-to-year.
Dan Jenkins - State of Wisconsin Investment Board
Okay. And then similarly given the Comanche plant supposed to go online in the fourth quarter here, how will that impact O&M in 2010?
David Sparby
It will have an increase in our generation cost for O&M in PSCo.
Dan Jenkins - State of Wisconsin Investment Board
You have a sense of how big of an impact that will be?
David Sparby
I -- go ahead Scott Wilensky.
Scott Wilensky
It's around 16 million a year but that's part of rate request pending in Colorado right now.
Dan Jenkins - State of Wisconsin Investment Board
Okay. And then I was wondering if you have the year-to-date through September CapEx and cash flow from the operations?
David Sparby
Yes, cash flow for operations is 1.6 billion and CapEx is 1.3 billion.
Dan Jenkins - State of Wisconsin Investment Board
Okay. Thank you. That's all I have.
David Sparby
Thank you.
(Operator Instructions). And our next question does come from the line of Andrew Levi with Incremental Capital. Please go ahead.
Andrew Levi - Incremental Capital
Hi. Good morning guys.
David Sparby
Good morning.
Andrew Levi - Incremental Capital
I've just been watching your rate cases and recommendations and thing like that, is it becoming more difficult environment do you believe because doesn't seem like you're getting the same type of recommendations or increases or ROEs that you're able to get a year or two ago. Is the environment tougher and is it going to be tougher as you go in for more increases?
Benjamin G.S. Fowke III
Andrew, this is Ben Fowke and I just at the rate case, test the plan, I think a lot of people in this room are going to be -- I think it's proceeding just the way a typical rate case would and I think historically we've had some pretty constructive settlements. The last big one was in Minnesota where we settled with 10.88 and had a number of issues I thought constructively resolved as David mentioned on the call.
So I think one of the things we're done a good job is continue even in these troubled economic times is receive constructive regulatory outcomes and I think a lot of it has to do with the alignment we have with our stake holders and state policies that were implementing. Dave I don't know if you...
David Sparby
I agree.
Scott Wilensky
I think we're doing pretty well all things consider.
Andrew Levi - Incremental Capital
Thank you.
And at this time, there are no further questions. I would like to turn the conference to Dave Sparby.
David Sparby
I want to thank you all for participating in our third quarter earnings call this morning. I look forward to meeting with many of you at the EEI Financial Conference next week. In addition, I hope you will join us in New York on December 2nd for our Annual Investor Meeting.

Creativity recently played at my daughter's wedding at the Chateau Elan. The band was beyond AMAZING! They are so VERSATILE, playing everything from Motown to the classics, pop, and contemporary. They appealed to all ages. Guests, young and old, danced until the end of he reception. And, they did a FANTASTIC rendition of Sinatra's, "The Way You Look Tonight", for the father-daughter dance. The lead female singer, Majesty, noticed that I didn't have my wine glass for my daughter's toast and made certain that I had it before I finished speaking. And, one of the performers sang and danced with my wife, twice, to some smooth Motown. (Her dance partner, Antoine, was smooth too!) The group went over and above in service! They are high-energy, personable, hip, full of personality, and EXTREMELY talented, both musically and vocally!! Everyone LOVED them! FABULOUS!! We love y'all! (If the Roots, Jimmy Fallon's band on the Tonight Show, ever go on hiatus, Jimmy would do well to book Creativity!)
William V. - Braselton, GA
Creativity band played at my daughters wedding. They were wonderful. At the last minute, I asked them to play the fight song from the couples alumni from just a version on You Tube. They were so accommodating, and it went off without a hitch. Everyone had a great time and they made the reception fun. I would highly recommend them. They were very easy to work with.
- Claudia M.
The band was amazing! They were very entertaining and kept everyone on their feet! We loved them and would highly recommend them!
-K. Kirby, Hoover, AL
Antoine and the entire group were great. Great party atmosphere! People were dancing early and kept going until the end. They exceeded our hopes!
-H. Hunter, Pawleys Island, SC
We got so many compliments! By far the best band for a wedding ever!
-H. Rice, Atlanta, GA
"Thank you very much for organizing the band for us on Saturday night! The evening was perfect and the band was great...they are probably sick and tired of playing "Sweet Home Alabama" for us!!! I really appreciate all of your help with this, especially with the short notice. If we ever have another event in Birmingham we will be sure to contact you immediately!"

No way im putting plastic in my ten thousand dollar engine.Il stick with Mobil 1,thank you.
There are tons of these technologies out there. None have been proven past the research or demo plant stage. You can even "burn" garbage and turn it into diesel or other fuels. Most work off of catalytic depolymerization or with engineered microbes. So far has been tough to scale up to commercial plants. Canada has one in Edmonton limping along I think and there are two in design stage in Florida. Few more years to wait.
Well, even if not for your $10k engine, why not just for the purpose of recycling all that plastic to keep the land fills from filling up with the stuff. Use the oil from it to heat homes, or burn it off some other way. I can see where some use could be made of it.

You could get an oil burner for your home & heat your house with the plastic you swipe out the neighborhood RECYCLE bins.

Ok,lets see hear.Yes,ive got it now.
Im not saying put plastic in the earth,just burn it.Burn it for fun,or use it for some stinky smelling heat.
Now,we know you cant really eat the grain used for ethanol( well,i guess you could eat anything).But the land thats being used for growing crap ethanol should be used for real food.I say print some more money and give them a grant for donating food to the poor.
And oh lord,electric cars.A ton of bs.The batteries take so much frickin energy and pollution and slave mining to produce.
Corn ethanol requirements, farm subsidies, all the products of agricultural lobby. The thing is that farm subsidies dont help the small farmers like most politicos tell you they do, they help out the large corporations. So us requiring corn ethanol is a foolish thing also because it muscles out investments for cellulose ethanol like is used in Brazil and other countries. Returning plastic to oil sounds great if we can move it to a commercial level however that sounds like its still a bit of R&D away. Do car engines really cost 10,000$? Wow that makes the subway fare hike sound cheep.
It is makes sense- plastic is made from oil in the first place. They fail to mention how much electricity (read energy) is used to heat and convert the plastic back to oil. I highly doubt this process actually has any sort of net gain of useful energy.
You can make diamonds from peanut butter. No one ever thought that was all that good of an idea...
"a reminder that no law can replace personal responsibility" - Bill Clinton 2010.
Forty years ago I worked for a small start up that wanted to ferment the cellulose present in high amounts in soy bean meal. They wanted to extract the protein and ferment the rest to produce yeast, which would have raised the total protein content from each pound of soy bean meal.
While I haven't followed this very carefully for many many years, I seriously doubt that anyone is making much ethanol commercially from cellulose digestion and fermentation.
Ethanol has other problems, even when it isn't made from stuff that people and animals use. I am convinced that my truck get at least 5-10% poorer mileage when it is run on a 10% ethanol blend.
I'd love for ethanol to be real and beneficial as a domestic energy source, but I'm really really really skeptical.
Your right I miss spoke. I probably wanted to say something else, maybe about switch grass, that the new hot thing for cellulose ethanol. I should read my messages more before I send them. dam brain farts
My understanding is that ethanol will never be more than a small percentage additive as there is not enough farm land on the entire planet to meet the needs of the U.S. alone. Plastic is made from oil, but isn't more chemical compounds used also? What happens to them when you reverse the process? Also, if this device is made bigger, like say refinery size, could it be solar powered? Didn't I hear decades ago that there had been a nuclear powered furnace that pretty much used garbage as a fuel, made electricty, and produced very little smog or ash?
BTW, if Mobile 1 is synthetic oil, can gas be made from synthetic oil? And why can't generators be put on the axles of cars to recharge electric cars?

When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
"I have just been more than a little suspect of all the trades since the Willy (Scott Williamson) cash grab. That one left such a bad taste in my mouth that even a 1985 Dom Pérignon couldn't cleanse it." -- Creek14
I think that Irsay liked Bill Polian and didn't know how long he would stick around, but wasn't high on his son and that it was a package deal and that he had to get rid of both to get rid of the younger Polian.
And I'm fine with that. I love Bill Polian, but he is close to retirement and I don't like his son as the future of the Colts.
I know its going to suck for you guys if Manning either can't play anymore or is replaced, but I like Lucks chances of being a good QB for you guys if thats who you end up drafting.
Id love to see what he could do with a team that actually has some speed at WR compared to the possession type WRs hes had at Stanford.
I'm curious what the Colts will do regarding their free agents, namely Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis. It's hard to imagine this team without them, but I could say the same for Manning.
If Manning is healthy and he stays, can the Colts afford to keep Wayne and/or Mathis? If Manning isn't healthy, wouldn't it make more sense to let one or both walk and use that extra cap space to get younger and more depth, building for the future?
Personally, I'd love to see Manning healthy enough to return, and the Colts to draft Luck. Manning sticks around for a year or two to mentor Luck, and then transitions to the coaching staff, possibly as QB coach. I imagine you would have to let one or both of Wayne/Mathis walk, and I guess I'd prefer Mathis leave. Without Wayne, there is no consistent threat at WR. Use the rest of the draft to address the many other needs of this team (DL, DB, RB).
I think this would allow for some continuity as the Colts rebuild while still fielding a playoff worthy team. With the right draft picks, the Colts could even remain serious contenders during the transition. Which is why the GM pick has to be a homerun.
2013 Record at games attended: 0-1
Even if Peyton is back I don't think theyare a playoff team. I think the Texans are the class of the division and its not even close. If you were to give me a choice of Schaub or Manning right now heading forward it would be Schaub and it wouldn't be close. So I guess the big question is are the Colts with Manning, who are trending in the wrong direction, better than the Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Broncos, Pats, and Jets? Are they better than the likes of the Titans, Raiders, or Dolphins?
If I were the GM I would let Wayne and Mathins walk, take the comp picks in 2013's draft. Draft Luck and do your best to trade Manning. I think its time to build a team from the gound up. They had a great run with Manning as QB but that may have come to an end.
I think the Colts will keep Mathis but will probably let Wayne walk. The Colts need all of the defensive help they can get. I like Wayne a lot and the last few weeks of the season he made some incredible catches, but I just think he would command too much money and he's already 33 years old and will turn 34 in the middle of next season. I would keep him though if he took a cheap contract.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
The Colts fired their special teams coach. That should fix it.
2013 Record at games attended: 0-1
Schaub over Manning moving forward? That's a good one....
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
Going forward Schaub is 5 years younger than Manning and not coming off of neck surgery. Manning will be 36 heading into next season, Schaub 31. So yea I would take Schaub over Manning heading forward.
I have said for sometime I don't think Manning would shed a tear if he was able to leave Indy and go get one more chance at a ring somewhere else but no way Manning would come out in the media and hint or talk about how he wanted out of town. He is to smart and media savy to do that.

Allegheny General Hospital Introduces New Minimally-Invasive Technique for Treating Large Brain Aneurysms
Physicians at Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) are offering a new and effective treatment to patients suffering from complex brain aneurysms.
Recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) gives doctors the ability for the first time to treat the largest and most dangerous brain aneurysms using minimally invasive methods. The treatment is focused on reconstruction of the weak blood vessel housing the brain aneurysm.
"The Pipeline Device offers a potentially life-saving option for patients with large or giant, wide-necked aneurysms, which were previously extremely difficult to treat," said AGH neuroradiologist Andrew Ku, MD, who recently performed the first case at Allegheny and was a member of the FDA panel which reviewed and subsequently approved the PED.
It is estimated that one in 50 Americans have a brain aneurysm, an abnormal ballooning of a portion of an artery in the brain due to a weakened blood vessel wall. Large aneurysms, which are more than 10 mm in diameter, and giant aneurysms, which are more than 25 mm in diameter, are particularly challenging. If left untreated, they can result in compression of the brain and surrounding structures or rupture resulting in hemorrhagic strokes.
The PED is a flexible mesh tube designed to divert blood flow away from the aneurysm. The device is placed through a catheter in a blood vessel in the leg and threaded up to the brain. Once the device is implanted across the base of an aneurysm, the PED essentially rebuilds the diseased brain artery by rerouting blood flow away from the aneurysm and along the course of the normal, reconstructed blood vessel.
Coiling, a minimally-invasive technique in which platinum coils are used to block blood flow to aneurysms, is highly effective for the majority of aneurysms. The PED was developed to address the small percentage of aneurysms with shapes that aren't suitable for coiling or open brain surgery.
Hospitalizations for elective surgery for cerebral aneurysms are typically short, Dr. Ku said. Both the PED and coiling generally allow patients to return home in two to three days.
The PED is the latest weapon in AGH's arsenal for treating aneurysms. AGH is one of just a handful of hospitals in the United States which offers patients surgical repair of brain aneurysms through an incision in the eyelid, a unique minimally-invasive option that generally yields a shorter recovery period and nearly imperceptible cosmetic results.
Allegheny General opened a new 22-bed Neurosurgical ICU earlier this year and launched a Neurosciences Institute in 2009 to provide state-of-the-art surgical and inpatient care and comprehensive, multidisciplinary outpatient services for patients with brain aneurysms, hemorrhage, tumors and traumatic injuries as well as those with back and neck problems, cranial nerve disorders, dementia, dizziness and vertigo, epilepsy, headache, movement disorders, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular diseases, pain, and stroke.

'Excuse me,' Mallory interrupted, 'would it be OK if we carried her around and she touched each bag?'"
About This Billboard
Though Western Oregon senior Sara Tucholsky often dreamed of what it would be like to hit her first home run, she never imagined it would end with the opposing team carrying her around the bases. In fact, her home run almost didn't become a reality, except for the sportsmanship of Central Washington players Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace.
Sara's home run came in the second inning of the second game of a double header between the two teams. At stake that weekend was a bid to the NCAA's Division II playoffs. Central Washington needed to win the second game to keep its postseason dreams alive.
When Sara hit her long-awaited home run, players on second and third both ran home, whooping in celebration. Sara, in her excitement, over-ran first base. But when she turned quickly to go back, her right knee gave out. Sara went down in agony just a few feet from first base.
Sara was clearly injured and unable to walk on her own. Her coaches and teammates debated what to do. If Western Oregon trainers, coaches or players helped her up, she would be out. If they substituted a pinch-runner, her home run would be counted as a two-run single. Either way, Sara would lose the only home run of her career.
Central Washington player Mallory Holtman was also a senior—and her school's career leader in home runs. After four years, she knew the rules of the game and quickly realized there was just one way for Sara's home run to count.
"Excuse me," Mallory interrupted the debating umpires and coaches. "Would it be OK if we carried her around and she touched each bag?"
The surprised officials agreed. Mallory and teammate Liz Wallace promptly picked Sara up, gingerly letting her left foot down to touch each of the bases to get her home run.
This act of sportsmanship contributed to Central's loss. Still, there were no regrets or angry words from Mallory's teammates. They all agreed—helping the opponent was simply the right thing to do. And the crowd—which had heckled Sara for her diminutive size when she stepped up to bat—agreed, too. When the threesome arrived at home plate, they were greeted with a standing ovation, creating a memory no one at that day's game will ever forget.
Sportsmanship. Pass It On!

I'm going through my digital photos after my first trip to New York City. I took a picture of the street sign, Father Duffy Square and a billboard of this story is in my photo. I immediately did an internet search to find out what the billboard is about. It brought a tear to my eyes because I injured my rotator cuff playing softball, the sport that I love, and to see this sportsmanship took my breath away. Go teams! I know you will be rewarded for your great deed.

At some point in late 2014, several owners of a Samsung smart fridge could not log in and check their Google Calendars on the refrigerator's internet-connected screen. The ensuing angry brouhaha is a glimpse of the shape of things to come, of the scary future where essential appliances depend on buggy software and updates that might never come.
One of those owners, Kris Spencer, complained about the issue in a Google product forum, where dozens of other owners quickly echoed these grievances. The thread steadily grew bigger and bigger, and now has 352 replies, mostly from angry customers pissed off that they can't check their calendars before grabbing their milk cartons.
"We now have a pointless icon on our fridge and this app was main reason I bought fridge so wife and I could view each other's calanders [sic] at supper table," a user called Jason Straub complained.
"I bought the fridge so my wife could keep up with my calendar."
Another user, Cody Drew, had a similar gripe: "I bought the fridge so my wife could keep up with my calendar. I hope this gets fixed soon. That is a lot of wasted money if no one can use this anymore."
This sometimes insane thread, where owners of almost perfectly functioning refrigerators (no one complained about the fridge's internal temperature being too high, or food defrosting), is a perfect snapshot into the scary and bizarre world of the so-called internet of things, where all kinds of devices from home appliances to toys for children (and adults) are slowly, but seemingly unstoppably, getting connected to the internet. This is the future, where your fridge has apps, and can probably be hacked.
The thread got some internet fame this week, when a Twitter parody account called Internet of Shit tweeted some of the most ridiculous messages of the thread and repeatedly mocked the whole thing.
*wakes suddenly from a nightmare*
did someone say something about updating my fridgeInternet of Shit December 10, 2015
Excuse me sir, do you mind restarting your refrigerator for me? Internet of Shit December 9, 2015
After dozens of complaints, and god knows how many calls and emails to Samsung, the fridge owners figured out the issue was probably that Google had discontinued the calendar API earlier in the year, and Samsung failed to push a software update for the refrigerator.
Then, around March of this year, some fridge owners reported finally receiving an update, though some didn't get it, much to their chagrin. But their patience, eventually, was rewarded.
"Just a few minutes ago I was standing in my kitchen and heard my refrigerator reboot. I turn around and sure enough, it has rebooted. I think to myself, could it be it is receiving an update? I wait for the WiFi to reconnect, and click on the calendar," wrote Spencer, the original author of the thread. "Much to my surprise I can see JUNE and many more months! I am jumping up and down with excitement! I checked to see if the [software] Update screen shows anything new, but it still displays March 31, 2015 version 2.690. I don't care, the calendar is displayed once more and I am thrilled! [...] Oh happy day!"

Spencer wasn't alone in feeling ecstatic.
"Guess what? Having a romantic dinner with my wife. Went to refill my cocktail; jack and coke for those that are interested. Fridge says a software update is available," Rob Hackbarth wrote. "Holy %#+^ [sic]. I'm nervous about executing it. Anybody else receive the update?"
In some ways, that connected future will be wonderful. We'll be able to turn off the lights of our house by tapping on our smartphone screen, and have our fridges tell us if we need milk. But as traditional appliances start relying on software, they'll also get software bugs. And those bugs might be exploited by hackers, unless the manufacturers fix them.
And therein lies the problem: a lot of these manufacturers we'll have to rely on aren't that good at taking care of security, nor providing timely patches. Just look at what happened with Android and the Stagefright bugs, which allowed hackers to break into millions of Android phones with just a multimedia message. When your software depends on a chain of developers from different companies, some of which might not have good security practices, as a consumer, you're screwed.
As traditional appliances start relying on software, they'll also get software bugs. And those bugs might be exploited by hackers.
And it's not just about losing access to a calendar, which, despite all the complaints, it's not that big of a deal. These devices offer a way in for hackers. A way into other data. In fact, security researchers found that a similar Samsung smart refrigerator had a vulnerability that allowed hackers to steal the fridge owner's Google credentials.
Perhaps, we're better off with less high-tech fridges, or as a commenter on the support thread said, "I probably should better get a cheap Android tablet and a few stripes of velcro." But the Internet of Things is coming, whether we like it or not. So as consumers, we better push manufacturers to take security, and updates, seriously.

text: British beauty Emma Watson [1]'s already caught our eye stepping out for the premiere of the seventh installment of the Harry Potter [2] film phenomenon. But, as it turns out, the actress has more than just an affinity for wearing gorgeous designs — she's also teamed up with Alberta Ferretti [3] to create a line of eco-chic, "organic clothing." On the heels of her eco-friendly People Tree collection [4], Ferretti tapped Emma for a collaboration. While details, like a name for the line, are being kept a secret, we can expect a "classic, '60's Jane Birkin" vibe and a post-Christmas debut. And since Emma's already "put it out there that [she] will work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair trade organic," we may be seeing lots more from the young talent.
