|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Value -> Median and Quartile Value
The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Quartiles divide the value distribution into four equal parts. Median and quartile value are computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Derived Measures.") Median and quartile value calculations are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. Upper and lower quartiles can be used to note large value differences among various geographic areas. (For more information on medians and quartiles, see "Derived Measures.")
|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Year Structure Built
The data on year structure built were obtained from Housing Question 2 in the 2006 American Community Survey. The question was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Year structure built refers to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. Housing units under construction are included as vacant housing if they meet the housing unit definition, that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable floors are in place. For mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc., the manufacturer's model year was assumed to be the year built. The data relate to the number of units built during the specified periods that were still in existence at the time of interview.
Median Year Structure Built
Median year structure built divides the distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median year structure built and one-half above the median. Median year structure built is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Derived Measures.") The median is rounded to the nearest calendar year. Median age of housing can be obtained by subtracting median year structure built from survey year. For example, if the median year structure built is 1968, the median age of housing in that area is 40 years (2006 minus 1968). (For more information on medians, see "Derived Measures.")
Limitation of the Data
Data on year structure built are more susceptible to errors of response and non-reporting than data for many other questions because respondents must rely on their memory or on estimates by people who have lived in the neighborhood a long time.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided a write-in space for the respondent to enter a year. Since 1999, the question provided 9 pre-coded response categories which showed ranges of years. The response categories were updated starting in 2003 to provide detail for recently built structures.

Sources: T.O.'s expressed resentment toward Romo

If(when) we beat them Sunday, all hell will break out in Big D
Yeah and if that is not bad enough imagine if they don't make the playoffs. If we beat them this week it will be very hard for them to even get in between the Falcons, Bucs and Eagles. Life is good. Go Giants!
This guy has serious problems. So far, not enough to wipe the smirk off Romo's face but close!
Witten doesn't talk crap about Romo, perhaps that's why they room together on road trips? TO, he just doesn't get it and he never will....
TO needs a brain transplant. What a baby whiner. [:'(][:'(][:'(]

That was funny as hell when you said walking STD. I think that Phelps should hook up with you. You seem like a great person. You kind of remind me of that girl in the Phelps commercial when he was right down the street but her phone didn't get service. You should go to the next Baltimore game and find him. lol.
TO really is an idiot. What is his problem. 3 weeks ago he catches 200 yards and 2 td's and everything is great and then this happens. He has to be the center of attention. What the hell is his deal? They are planning secret things to not throw the ball to me. Conspiracy Theory much? What a child.
LOL....thanks!!!! That's funny! Mikie won't be in any serious relationships until after the 2012 Olympics in London & perhaps, not until after the 2016 Olympics. Mikie has been in the pool every single day, since he was 11 yrs old, in order to win those 8 Olympic Gold. So, unless a girl would want to live in the pool, as well, I doubt that you would see much of him. Plus, even then, Mikie's highest priority is swimming & rightfully so, that is where all of his energy is focused.

My dad raised us to be competitive swimmers, so I can appreciate what Michael has done & I have his REACH poster....which inspires me, every time I get too busy/lazy to work out! My mom used to complain all the time, when we were swimming....she would say, "their lips are purple!" Geeeeeez, that water was cold! We would all just dive in & all of us would just swim & freeze together.

That is a great story. It is inspiring. I never swam competitively but I could hold my breath and swim to the end of the pool, back and to the end again at my Grandpa's house. lol. It was truly amazing and breathtaking to watch the Olympics That relay race was absolutely incredible. I was yelling at the top of my lungs. I will never forget that.
ABSOLUTELY!!! Sure hope that there will be a repeat of excitement in London 2012!!!

SBCC Educating Others On 'Get Focused...Stay Focused' Program
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Santa Barbara City College held a two-day conference explaining the ground-breaking program Get Focused...Stay Focused .
"It's an opportunity for students to find out what it takes in order to be a successful college student. It also provides them with life lessons such as learning about what kind of money they are going to need in order to support themselves," said Santa Barbara Superintendent Dr. David Cash.
The 10-year plan allows high school students to take college courses as early as their freshman year. Once they are ready to enroll at Santa Barbara City College, those credits will transfer over, giving them a head start toward their life goal.
Since 2009, SBCC has collaborated with the Carpinteria and Santa Barbara School Districts to deliver a successful Dual Enrollment Freshman Transition (DEFT) course for freshman.
"It's something that we have been missing in our K-12 public school system and we are really happy it's a part of what we are doing now," Cash said.
Thursday and Friday more than 140 community college and high school educators from all over the State came to SBCC to learn about the program.

It is a nice, quiet and cosy place, 32sqm, fully equiped. A typical Parisian style apartment that can welcome up to 4 people.
You'll find all the amenities (fridge, oven, microwave, washing machine, coffee machine in the kitchen) and a new sofa cum bed.
In addition bed linen, Tv with cable and Internet (Wifi) is provided.
The decoration is very personal, as it is mainly based on all the trips and the place I had the chance to travel to.
With 2 stations just 3 minutes' walk away from the apartment (Pigalle or Abbesses), guests have convenient access to the Paris metro system. Trains run from there to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées in 10 minutes. Direct buses go to the Champs Elysées (15 minutes), the Eiffel tower (20 minutes) and the Louvre Museum (15 minutes). The beautiful walk up to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica takes only 10 minutes. The flat is one hour far from both main airports by public transportations.
I can't count the number of restaurants and bars in the street and the area. It is a very animated area, full of Parisian people in the morning, tourists in the afternoon and everyone in the evening !
In the neighborhood, I suggest you go to the restaurants located just down the street (not upwards, closer to the "Sacred Heart" is more touristic and not so good). For example, "the Fourmi" at the corner is always crowded and cheap, full of Parisians! I go there very often :) Also the "Marmite" is nice, they have huge salads!
House rulesSmoking is allowed except in the bedroom.
No pets allowed.
A security deposit is required based on the length of the stay and will be given in hands at arrival.

Reviews of this property
Hi, the flat was ok but maybe a little bit small for 4 persons.
One thing that I blame in this situation, is giving deposit without any receipt/account/certificate. And the flat could be cleaner.
br/Barbara Bakovic
We really enjoyed our stay in Fanny's apartment. It was a great Carrefour just down the road, we loved strolling around Montmartre, we had our morning coffee at KB Cafeshop 5 minutes away, where we also picked up our velib bikes on a station across the road from the cafe. Everywhere we went on bike was sort of downhill from Montmartre and everything felt easy and accessible. Fanny gave us all the information we needed before our stay and was easy to contact also during our stay - she took great care of us and the apartment had everything we needed. Thank you, Fanny! We might come back to our home away from home - in Paris! :)
Fannys Apartment is very well located with easy Access to public Transport. The Apartment is calm, clean small and cozy. You feel, that it is Fannys Apartment and not a unpersonal holiday flat. Fanny is a really nice owner, no Problem, that we came late in the evening, no Problem, that we could let our luggage in the apartment the last day for some hours.
Absolute perfect location. Nice appartment, good bed, easy handling with the owner Fanny, water in the shower is strong, even on the 6th floor. Lots of bars, restaurants, bistros, etc around and very close to metro. A few steps to Sacre Coeur. Anytime again when I am in Paris. Thanks Fanny
The apartment was perfect for us. Situated a few minutes walk from the Sacre Coeur and located within 5 minutes walk of approx 3 metro stations. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets & boulangeries within the vicinity too.
It is homely, as Fanny describes. It's on the sixth floor ( don't worry there is a small lift).
Fanny was very welcoming and met us on arrival. We were around 45 minutes late due to Friday afternoon Paris traffic, but rang ahead to let her know. There is pretty much zero free street parking around so we had booked ahead. The nearest parking is probably Next to Anvers Metro station and was €59 for 48 hrs. However we parked at St Lazare (4 metro stops away - 10 minutes) as it was €21 for secure modern underground parking. We would happily stay here again!
Fanny's flat in the heart of Montmartre made our short stay in Paris just perfect. We had a really nice and comfortable base with the flat, where we felt home. We could enjoy the typical mood in Paris and had a perfect trip.
The organisiation with arrival and leaving was really easy and uncomplicated! We would definetily recommend Fanny's flat :)
Very nice appartment, located right at the start of Abbesses Area and a few hundred meters from Sacré Coeur. The apartment was cosy and clean. The communication with Fanny was super easy and everything went well. We will definitely come back!
To everybody who wants to have a really nice stay in Paris!
Organisation with Fanny before the trip perfect!
Arrival with Fanny's kindly mother perfect (Leaving as well)!
The flat was really nice, clean an comfortable! Everything is in the near (Moulin Rouge, Metro, Parkhouse, etc.)
Even the weather was perfect ; )
Everytime again- we will book your flat probably again!
Thanks for a special trip!!!
The flat was great! Really! Made our stay in Paris even more special! Great location, clean and confortable! Fany is very easy to reach and the organization was just perfect!!! She is also the best to advice places and give transportation and city sight seeing advices!! Thanks a lot Fany! For sure we'll come back when returning to Paris!!!

Cardiff University ran free revision sessions for local A-level students that are due to sit their Chemistry and Physics exams this week.
These initial revision sessions are part of the University's A-level master classes comprising three days of support, including two days of solid revision followed by a visit day to Cardiff University. As well as revision opportunities, students also receive all-important advice on what to do after the exam, such as: advice on applying to university and what sort of careers are available to them in their chosen subjects. They also get to meet academic staff, their potential future lecturers, and get a flavour of what university life is like.All students from Cardiff's inner-city state schools were given the opportunity to come to Cardiff University, an encouraging and academic environment, to help them prepare for their exams and sit practice papers.
Louise Gray, Widening Access Manager at Cardiff University, said: "We offer a wide range of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at Cardiff University and we are looking for more applications from talented young people. The revision sessions have been devised to increase the attainment in these subjects and ultimately raise the number of students interested in applying to university."
Susan Miles, Lecturer in Physics/Quality and Operational Manager at Cardiff and Vale College, provided the tutoring for the students on the Physics revision sessions. Susan said: "The AS students greatly benefitted from the intensive revision days at the University. They provided a valuable opportunity for students to prepare for their January exams and hopefully they'll get some excellent results. It was a fantastic experience for the students to work in a university setting for the day. Many of the students will be applying to University next year and I'm sure they'll be encouraged by this. Cardiff University is a popular choice for many of our students, after their College courses. Cardiff and Vale College has strong links with the University which we hope to strengthen."
Lauren Powel, one of the students that attended the Physics revision session, said: "It allowed other students and myself the opportunity to place ourselves within a calm environment where we we're capable of studying and revising along with our peers. I give nothing but praise to those involved, and many thanks to those who gave up their personnel free time to aid us in the final preparations towards our exams."
Laura Murphy, another student that attended the Physics revision session, said: "I thought the day was helpful and I really enjoyed it. Revision is something I struggle with, but I picked up a few new techniques that will be useful for my upcoming exams. It's a nice experience to learn in a different environment and to see how physics is taught elsewhere."
Cardiff University is planning to run more revision sessions in Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Biology and English in the run up to the summer exams.

My truck does pretty good in the mud and even when I turn the traction control off by holding the button down, I lose power when I go through the mud, even if I'm flooring it... Is this an engine performance issue? Or is there a way to completely disable the traction control? Any ideas?? Thanks -Lo-

Louie is survived by his niece Robin Gedmin, her son, Raymond, his wife Tammy and their children.
Louie left behind many friends at MARC and in the community, which remember him fondly for his steadfast work ethic, love of the woman in his life and his good natured disposition.
An informal service and celebration of his life will be held on Tuesday, July 8th at 9 a.m. at St Mary's Basilica Catholic Church in Key West. Refreshments will follow the celebration at the Rainbow Café, 1401 Seminary St.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to M.A.R.C. Inc. Box 428 Key West, FL., 33041


text: I captured my third swarm of the season tonight in North West Albuquerque. It was a football sized swarm hanging from a cottonwood tree branch. It was up about 7 feet. I shook it directly into a swarm trap, covered it, and went to dinner. When I got back , there were three bees on the outside. We used a bee brush to get them inside, covered the trap entrance and took them home. This was by far my easiest capture so far. The bees were a little annoyed when I banged them off the branch and I was attacked by several bees. Got stung twice in the neck. No big deal.

If we can sign KP back and then pick up a second round pick for Stevie Brown, I think that is a move that would make alot of sense for us. Having an additional second round draft pick this year will greatly help replacing talent that we are sure to lose with so many free agents and help us lower costs by paying a rookie contract. Stevie is a good player, but we already have Rolle under contract, between Rolle and KP how many safties do we need?
The Giants are excellent in the draft, they should be leveraging that skill and acquiring as many draft picks whenever possible.

Press - what people say about APC-201210-15587
APC: A progressive organisation to warm the heartJohan and I often get to feel very despondent about various things out there in the world; environmental issues, political corruption, abuse of human rights, consumerism, and poverty. We notice how often conversations of any meaning end up in what we call the doom and gloom scenario, which we deal with by saying we must just try to focus on what we can do in our own environment. So how wonderful it is to encounter an organisation like APC, which does something important globally in a progressive and heart-warming way.
APC (Association for Progressive Communications) first came to us 8 years ago – were in fact the very first workshop we had here. And if we were cheered by them then, now two visits and 8 years later, our admiration for them has only grown.
It's not just the nature of their commitment to encourage free and open internet to create a more just world (mission statement). Nor the fact at they execute this commitment in real and tangible local and global projects (e.g. helping women activists build websites and other communication strategies, inserting gender issues into policy at various levels, helping people tell their stories of abuse and harassment online). Nor is it that they are sustainable – despite not only funding challenges, but the fact that since they come from all over the world, they connect largely in cyberspace.
But it is how they do things. Then as now we see a group of mostly (but not exclusively) women with extraordinary commitment (in fact most of the people who came now came 8 years ago). They work incredibly hard, yet integrate into their work laughter and play, caring and respect, and they conduct themselves in an entirely non authoritarian way – whatever their organisational structure.
This particular set of two workshops at Fynbos included, (for the first workshop) staff, board members, APC members and partners developing the APC Strategic Plan for 2013-2016.
The second workshop was a gathering of all partners working on an APC project called "End Violence: Women's rights and safety online" (For more on this project see http://www.apc.org/en/node/15007/)

Zoners put highly touted South Bethlehem project in limbo
BETHLEHEM. Pa. - An $11 million project that would transform a former Catholic church property in South Bethlehem into artist lofts and a nearby vacant lot into affordable housing is in limbo, a week after Mayor John Callahan held a news conference trumpeting the plan.
The Bethlehem Zoning Hearing Board voted 5-0 Wednesday night to deny a series of variances needed by the non-profit Mid-Atlantic Housing Development Corp. to build the South Side Lofts -- 28 apartments at the former St. Stanislaus Catholic Church at 5th and Hayes streets and another 18 apartments a block away at East Fifth and Atlantic streets.
HDC's attorney, William Kern, and project manager, Ian Rawhauser, appeared stunned by the decision. Neither could say if HDC will appeal the decision, or if plans for the project might be altered or shelved.
Bethlehem has pledged $700,000 in federal housing grants toward the project.
The zoners voted after a 20-minute executive session. They did not explain the basis for their decision.
Five people living near the proposed project spoke against it. They said they were concerned about an already tight parking situation; increasing the density of an already heavily populated area, and the kinds of people the project would attract.
HDC architect Bruce Weinsteiger explained that 48 parking spaces would be available for the 46 apartments -- two more than required -- but that two of the people living on the former church property would have to park at the apartment complex a block away.
Justina Keeler, of 728 East 5th St., one of the chief opponents of the project, was skeptical. "In reality, it should work, but it won't,"
she said, adding that people in the neighborhood regularly double park, rather than find a space and walk to their homes. "And you have houses with five, six, seven people [in them], and they all have two, three or four cars."
Weinsteiger said the 28 apartments in the former church property would be mostly one-bedroom units marketed to artists, and that the church would be a community room and art gallery.
An 18-unit apartment building would be erected on a parcel with a rusted Quonset hut that once was used by Banko Beverage and, later, a laundromat operation that closed in 2003, Weinsteiger said. One- and two-bedroom apartments would be available on the first floor, and three-bedroom apartments on the second and third floors, he added.
Keeler, like other objectors, doubted the neighborhood could absorb so many more people. She said she's owned her home for almost 35 years, and "cramping that many people into that area isn't going to improve my [neighborhood]. It's going to be a detriment."
Rawhauser said the apartments would be rented to people who earn 60 percent or less of the area's median income. "That means a single person could earn up to $33,000 a year, and a family could earn up to
$45,000 a year," he said.
Keeler said, "We already have low-income people in our neighborhood who have no respect for people who are there. They throw garbage and park in front of my garage and then yell obscenities at me."
Before the vote, Rawhauser said HDC planned on applying for $8 million in funding from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency on Nov. 2, and that the project could be built by late next year.
HDC had received the zoners approval to build 36 apartments at St.
Stanislaus last year, provided it could come up with one parking spot for each unit.
HDC announced its revised plans last Wednesday with great fanfare at a news conference at the former church that included Mayor Callahan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cookingpro from Amazing set I have been using this set for 3 years and there isn't a day that I am not amazed at it's versatility and reliability. It heats evenly every time, even though my gas range has hot spots, it cleans, even when I have a crusted pot, like a dream with an overnight soak. It covers almost every cooking task I have thrown at it and when I had a problem with one pan All-Clad replaced it no questions asked. It's dishwasher safe, it looks good hanging from my pot rack, goes from refrigerator to oven or burner. I had some 3-ply and copper core that I really liked but when this came on the market, after trying a small pan, I was overjoyed my daughter coveted my pots so I had an excuse to buy these. I did add a universal lid, covers all the fry pans easilyDate published: 2016-02-22Rated 1 out of 5 by John1971 from Buyer Beware - The Guarantee is no good Buyer Beware I have had a 5-D Steamer pot for about 5 years and really liked it until I accidentally dropped the lid from about 4 feet above the floor and it bent into a crescent. It had been in the oven for 16 minutes at 350 degrees when it dropped but I was still shocked to see that it bent so much. I thought my All-Clad was guaranteed but it turns out that if you drop the lid it is not covered. Pretty shocking. I will never buy All-Clad again.Date published: 2015-03-20

I'm a new TEFL teacher and will be teaching my first real class shortly.
The students are intermediate level (a mixed age group) and will be learning business English, so I'd like to introduce the first lesson with some activity to get them warmed up.
I thought about cutting up some business letters into various segments for them to re-arrange, but this seems rather limited in terms of student talk time.
Would a roleplay be suitable as a warm-up, considering that this will be their first business English lesson?
Thanks! David

Ten plug-in hybrid vehicles, or PHVs, have been added to a University of Colorado Boulder study that has been examining user experiences and system interactions since September 2010 in the local smart-grid environment.
The increase will allow researchers from CU-Boulder's Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute, or RASEI -- a joint venture with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory -- to gather data from a broader base of participants. The loan of Prius cars from Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. will expand the originally supplied fleet to a total of 28.
"RASEI'S expertise in analyzing trends in consumer use of energy gives us an opportunity for research at this critical nexus of the electric utility and transportation industries as they transition to the future," said Michael Knotek, RASEI director. "We are delighted that this project is valuable to Toyota."
The Boulder location presents the opportunity for study participants to track their household electricity use through smart-grid technology, and for researchers to monitor the performance of Toyota's first-generation lithium-ion drive battery at high altitudes, in cold weather and in mountainous terrain.
The cars are circulated in nine-week intervals among randomly selected households. Participants receive a "smart plug" -- a device installed in home garages -- from Xcel Energy that allows online monitoring of their car's electricity use and their home's energy consumption. There also are numerous dashboard displays in the PHVs that show gas mileage when driving in electric mode and hybrid mode.
The PHV demonstration vehicles can be fully charged in approximately three hours using a standard 110-volt electrical outlet and can cruise in electric-only mode for about 14 miles. For longer distances, the PHVs revert to hybrid mode and operate like regular Prius cars.
"One of RASEI's goals is to establish public-private partnerships that bring together academic, industry and government lab research," said Knotek. "The PHV study, supported by Toyota with the integral participation of Xcel Energy, is the first of many RASEI projects that reflects this type of comprehensive and valuable collaboration."
The study's principal investigator is Barbara Farhar, RASEI's senior research associate. The co-principal investigator is Dragan Maksimovic, CU-Boulder professor of electrical, computer and energy engineering.

Sneaky, sneaky? For Packers, not so much
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers spent a portion of his bye week incommunicado. For a few days, he was in his native California, and his iPhone was off.
"Even if it was on, I couldn't really be reached," the Green Bay Packers quarterback said Tuesday on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com. "It's nice to go off the grid – not entirely off the grid but to some remote places and realize there's some beauty in life other than your cell phone and the Internet."
But, by Sunday, the self-described "football fan" still found himself watching games on TV. He caught a portion of the Philadelphia-Denver game while traveling back to Green Bay; watched much of the Sunday Night Football game between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots; and watched the Miami Dolphins – coached by his old offensive coordinator and friend, Joe Philbin – lose to New Orleans on Monday Night Football.
In both the Sunday night and Monday night games, Rodgers saw short-yardage situations where a quarterback sneak could have been called. On Sunday night, he saw the Patriots give LaGarrette Blount the ball on third-and-1 late in the game, with the Patriots clinging to a 7-point lead. Then, after Blount was stopped for no gain, he saw quarterback Tom Brady and center Ryan Wendell fumble the exchange on fourth down, giving the Falcons the ball and a chance to force overtime (although they didn't). It appeared Brady was going to hand off had he not lost the ball.
Then, on Monday night, he saw the Dolphins come up an inch short on a second-down play at the New Orleans 9-yard line. On third-and-an inch, offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, Rodgers' first head coach in the NFL in 2005 with the Packers, called for a handoff to running back Daniel Thomas, who was stuffed for a 2-yard loss, rather than calling athletic quarterback Ryan Tannehill's number on a sneak. The Dolphins settled for a field goal, making it 7-3 in a game that would end up 38-17.
In both situations, those teams could have called a quarterback sneak, just as the Packers could have the last time they played – on Sept. 22 at Cincinnati. In that game, the Packers were facing fourth-and-inches at the Cincinnati 30-yard line while clinging to a 30-27 lead with 4 minutes, 1 second to play in the fourth quarter.
Coach Mike McCarthy decided to go for it, and called a handoff to rookie running back Johnathan Franklin, the team's lone remaining healthy back at the time. Franklin, of course, fumbled as he was about to leap over the pile and the Bengals returned it for the go-ahead touchdown.
So what in the hallowed name of Bart Starr is going on here? Is the quarterback sneak a thing of the past, just like the Ice Bowl?
According to Rodgers, it is.
"League-wide, you are not seeing a ton of those consistently converted," Rodgers said Tuesday.
With Rodgers, you aren't even seeing them attempted. He hasn't had a fourth-down rushing attempt since 2010 – when he converted a fourth-and-1 – and according to STATS, he's had just 11 rushing attempts on third-and-less than 2 yards during that time.
STATS does not differentiate between scrambles and called running plays in their statistics, and they also don't break down quarterback sneaks as compared to other types of runs. So far this season, Rodgers has only one rushing attempt on third-and-less than 2 yards: At San Francisco in the Sept. 8 regular-season opener, he ran for 6 yards on a naked play-action bootleg on third-and-1 at the Packers' 40-yard line to keep a touchdown drive going. On that play, Rodgers wasn't touched before going out of bounds, whereas he likely would have been hit hard on a quarterback sneak.
"A lot of times it depends on the length. It's almost a lower percentage play when it's fourth and a couple inches, as compared to maybe a third (down) and two feet," Rodgers said of using the sneak. "If you watch some of the games, you can see Tom (Brady) has had some effectiveness obviously throughout his career of converting one-and-a-half yards on a third down doing a quarterback sneak."
That Brady has. According to Sports Illustrated, Brady entered the season having converted 56 straight short-yardage situations, and he hadn't been stopped on a quarterback sneak since 2005. In the opener against Buffalo, Brady fumbled the snap on fourth-and-goal from the Bills' 1-yard line, just as he did Sunday night.
Rodgers, who has gotten to know Brady over the years, said one of the keys to his success on short-yardage plays is that he doesn't simply dive forward behind the center or into one of the A gaps between the center and a guard. Rather, Rodgers said, Brady slides down the line slightly and then moves forward in the B gap (between the guard and the tackle) or even the C gap (outside the tackle).
"Tom often takes it B or C gap. He kind of offsets to the left a little bit," Rodgers said.
"You're just less likely to get those two A-gap defenders on a third-and-1, maybe, as opposed to a third-and-6 inches or a fourth-and-a couple inches. You're more likely to get everybody in the box tight, the line shrinks their splits. I really feel like it's a difficult play to convert when you have those circumstances tied together.
"However, we have had some good success here in the past on quarterback sneaks. I feel my percentage running them is fairly high. But it is a mindset up front that our guys are going to be lower than the defense. I know we feel like, regardless of the call, whether it's a quarterback sneak or dive or outside zone, we've got to convert 100 percent of those."
For his part, Rodgers said he has no problem doing the quarterback sneak. But the numbers would indicate that the coaches don't want to be calling their prized QB's number and exposing him to potential bodily harm now that he's established himself as one of the league's top players.
According to STATS, in 2012, Rodgers had eight rushing attempts on third-and-2 yards or fewer and rushed for 33 total yards, converting all eight into first downs. In 2011, he was 2 for 2; in 2010, he was 1 for 4; in 2009 he was 3 for 3; and in 2008 he was 3 for 4. So since ascending to the starting role, Rodgers is 18 for 22 when running on such third-down plays. On fourth downs, he was 1 for 1 in 2010, 1 for 2 in 2009 and 3 for 3 in 2008.
Brady, meanwhile, has been the master. According to STATS, he is 67 for 69 on third-and-2 yards or fewer and 17 for 21 converting on such fourth-down plays, including the two fumbled snaps this season, which in the official stats count against Brady.
After the loss to the Bengals, offensive coordinator Tom Clements was asked about the quarterback sneak and why the team has gone away from calling it in recent years.
"We've used them in the past," Clements replied. "What we've tried to develop are some runs that give you the same benefit as a quarterback sneak with a guy who's used to running the ball."
Asked if, as far as he knew, Rodgers was OK with running them, Clements replied, "He's not adverse to QB sneaks."
On Tuesday, the one quarterback sneak Rodgers recalled was when he fumbled near the goal line at Atlanta during the 2010 regular season, when he was stuffed for no gain on third-and-goal from the Falcons' 1-yard line and Curtis Lofton stripped him at the goal line. The Falcons ended up recovering in the end zone, and instead of a 10-0 lead, the Packers watched Atlanta march down the field for a go-ahead touchdown right before halftime in what would be a 20-17 loss.
"That was disappointing," Rodgers said.
That same year, Rodgers was stuffed on a third-and-goal from the 1 early in the second quarter at Washington. On fourth-and-goal from the 1, Rodgers threw incomplete for tight end Andrew Quarless, and the Packers went on to lose, 16-13, in a game in which Rodgers suffered a concussion.
As for the danger of the play, Rodgers said he has encountered some during his career – including losing a key piece of equipment.
"I've gotten my helmet ripped off a couple times. That seems to be something defenders enjoy doing on those," Rodgers said with a chuckle. "Because often what happens is if defensive line submarines and the offensive line tries to go low, then it creates this you-and-the linebackers (situation), who have a little bit of a running start on you. Which, if you're going right over the center, doesn't always bode well for the quarterback, obviously. Occasionally you get a helmet taken off."

text: I've looked and read. I've done research. But I've heard so much conflicting stuff it isn't funny. First my truck. It's 4x4 crew cab with 5.3 and stock 3:42 gears. I'm getting ready to start the mods and need to make sure I do it right. I would love 35" tires, but I also like my stock rims, and I'd hate to have to come up with the extra money for re-gearing. I've been told some dealers sell my exact truck set up by aftermarket companies with 6" lift and 35" tires...... but I don't want to void my warranty, and I bet it would be a total dog with the stock gears. I like the 4" lift, but would I really be limited to 33" tires ? I've been told with a little trimming I could do 35" tires with a 4" lift. Straighten me out ! what's my best course ? yes I want 35's, but don't want to regear. so can I do 35's with a 4" lift or am I stuck with 33's ? And can I use 35's with my 3:42 gears without putting too much strain on the trans or hating my truck because it won't get out of its own way ? let me hear what you know and what I can do. I appreciate it.

I find this debate laughable the fact that Brady hasn't beaten us twice and for the fact they haven't won since spygate.Don't get me wrong he is great but Joe Montana stands alone in the post season.
I find this debate laughable the fact that Brady hasn't beaten us twice and for the fact they haven't won since spygate.Don't get me wrong he is great but Joe Montana stands alone in the post season.
Plus Joe's competition in the 80's was brutal. Who did Brady have to beat?? Are they even still in the league besides Peyton??
ESPN is all about making comparisons, it's what they do and what gets attention from fans. But saying that I think it's not that farfetched. The NFL was a different game when Joe played, rule changes have done that. But it's still the NFL and the best players play in this league. In my opinion Joe Montana was the best qb ever; they didn't call him Joe cool for nothing. Watching him play in the super bowls was like watching someone play catch in the back yard, nothing fazed him. Joe Montana is the only player to be named Super Bowl MVP 3 times, so when it comes to winning the bar is set at Joe Montana.
Now to Tom Brady, he plays very similar to Montana, has great accuracy, pocket presence, and he wins.. Except against us (Giants) Tom Brady could retire today and would easily be in the conversation as a top 5 qb all time. It seems every year the Patriots are in the hunt in the playoffs, and a big part of that is because of Tom Brady. Everyone is so amazed by how good that offense is, no matter who they plug in at skilled positions. But it all starts and ends with Tom Brady. So in conclusion I think it's a fair comparison...
I think it is a very fair comparision.
I grew up watching Joe Montana play and I watch Tom Brady play. I think Tom Brady is better. Tom Brady is the best QB I have ever seen.
You can see why they do it. Only Montana and Bradshaw have won 4 SBs and Bradshaw was not a QB god. There are very few people you can compare Brady to.
They're also among the only 5 QBs to win multiple SB MVP awards. A list that also includes Eli.
Seems fair to me.
In fact, I think if Brady wins it this year then it may be hard to make a case for Joe other than he never lost a superbowl.
In 2008, the Patriots went 11-5 with Matt Cassel at the helm. How many times has Eli Manning won 11 games or more? Only twice by my recollection. This isn't to compare Eli to Brady, but Matt fricken Cassel managed 11 wins in that division and offensive scheme.
And every single year the Patriots are better than the Dolphins, Bills, and Jets. What does that say really?
It's a fair comparison.
If you remember, Montana was on the receiving end of a few bad playoff losses to the Giants too.
NE has a great system going but divisional rivals are still divisional rivals-- they're still pros and you have to play them twice a year. Throw divisional games out the window... Carolina beat Atlanta this year. The Eagles beat the Giants and so on and so forth.
I see your point because I've been on that side of things... I was very jealous of the Pats schedule. But an average team like Dallas went 2-2 in the AFCE last year, and beat Miami on a last second FG.
You still have to be good to win in the AFCE and you also have to take care of business, which is difficult to do with all the parity in the league.
When I really thought about it, I realized I was holding the Pats accountable for being better than everyone in their division-- needless to say that's pretty silly.
Besides, it's not like they fold in the playoffs when the competition increases.

Brunes remembered as man who loved God
Jim Brunes will be remembered as a man who loved the Lord. Brunes, 90, died Thursday, March 22, at his home in Pequot Lakes.
"Jim was a very, very dear person to me," said Mike Heuberger, general manager of Minnesota Christian Broadcasters Inc. in Pequot Lakes. "He was a real visionary. He was the first chairman of the board for Minnesota Christian Broadcasters Inc."
Heuberger said that in 1974, a group of men had its first meeting in the Nisswa area with the intent to bring Christian radio to the Pequot Lakes area. Brunes, along with Gil Arvig, was involved with that group of people, and they were instrumental in starting the radio station, KTIG The Word.
The Brunes family owned the property where the station is located, on Brunes Street.
"He loved Christian radio and he was just very, very involved from the beginning until he stepped down," which was 19 years later, Heuberger said. Brunes continued to support the radio station after leaving the board, including as an on-air guest and elsewhere.
"He gave me a lot of guidance and direction through the years. He always had a listening ear. He always gave good advice from his experiences," Heuberger said.
Through his work installing telephone lines with Arvig Telephone Co., Brunes knew every back road in the region and had a story about every road, Heuberger added.
"He'd take us on those back roads and we'd always wonder where we were going," Heuberger said with a laugh.
"He was a real man of God to a lot of people," he added, noting Brunes was a Sunday school teacher and involved in church leadership. "He touched a lot of people's lives. He was very special to me."
Pastor Mike Marcum of Pequot Lakes Baptist Church, where Brunes was a member, also knew Brunes for many years.
"I knew him from the time I was a little kid. When I was a little boy my mother made us kids go to what was Grace Evangelical United Brethren Church (which later merged and became Grace United Methodist Church) and it was over across from Our Savior's Lutheran. He was just a man of the church," Marcum said.
He remembered when Brunes helped scoop ice cream at Sunday school picnics.
"He was always involved with church of one kind or another. He was a Gideon. He was a guy who really loved the lord," Marcum said. "I just knew Jim as a guy who really loved the lord and lived that out in his life."
Marcum also said Brunes would have people out to his cabin on Rush Lake all the time, and had baptisms there. They also had picnics at Brunes Park.

Right on Trend in Brooklyn
The Box House Hotel • Brooklyn, NY
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Loft Suite from January 2 to March 31, 2013
- Welcome Bottle of Wine
Greenpoint: Brooklyn's northernmost neighborhood, touted as the new Williamsburg and at the very top of every real estate junkie's (and hipster's) list of up-and-coming hot hoods. Old warehouses have given rise to "virtual doormen, rooftop farms, artisanal gin, and brick-faced condominiums," says The New York Times. So it was only a matter of time before a hip boutique spot like The Box House Hotel sprang up.
The airy suites (16-foot ceilings!) in this 45-room hotel have hardwood floors throughout and are punctuated with bright pops of color and vintage furniture. A New York Times writer gave its open-layout arrangement and full kitchen setup kudos, as they "made me forget I was in a hotel rather than a well-decorated apartment." Located on a street that's a mix of small houses and industrial spaces, The Box Hotel fits in charmingly—and best yet, the lack of high-rises in this borough mean a sweet view of the city from your suite.
As you stroll (or bike) the commercial district on busy Manhattan Avenue, you'll find organic produce markets and a number of restaurants that pride themselves on using only locally sourced ingredients, or discover cool duds in the clothing boutiques that flank nearby Franklin Street, which runs parallel to Manhattan Avenue. Greenpoint also serves up a mean—and authentic—Polish feast, as it retains its strong ties to its first settlers (don't miss the pierogies). The bulk of Brooklyn's quirky cultural offerings are just a few blocks south of your digs, and Manhattan is just a G-Train ride away—but if you feel like kicking up your feet with a bottle of wine in your room, we won't begrudge you that pleasure, either.
"The layout was open, but tastefully arranged vintage furniture created separate spaces for a living room and bed. There was a sauna, gym and steam room, and takeout menus for local restaurants."-- The New York Times

About Us
When the Center on Wrongful Convictions (CWC) launched in April 1999, wrongful convictions were viewed as anomalies — rare exceptions to an otherwise well-oiled criminal justice machine. Sadly, prisons and death rows around the country are populated by countless individuals who have been wrongly convicted: innocent people doing someone else's time.
"Our efforts not only free innocent people, they reveal mistakes and missteps at every juncture of our justice system—from the moment the yellow crime tape goes up until the last appeal," says CWC Executive Director Emeritus Rob Warden. The Center on Wrongful Convictions is at the forefront of the current nationwide movement to reform the criminal justice system and is dedicated to identifying and rectifying wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice. The CWC's work focuses primarily in three areas: representation, research, and reform.
The Center receives approximately over 3,000 inquiries a year from inmates around the country seeking our legal representation. Center faculty and staff attorneys, in partnership with outside pro bono attorneys, CWC students, and volunteers, review these requests and represent imprisoned clients with claims of actual innocence. Although the Center focuses primarily on post-conviction cases, occasionally CWC attorneys serve as co-counsel with experienced trial lawyers working pro bono, in the retrials of cases that have been reversed and remanded. CWC attorneys also prepare amicus ("friend of the court") briefs in the trial and appellate courts. The Center also has pioneered projects focused on representing wrongfully convicted youth and women — the first projects of their kind in the United States.
Center on Wrongful Convictions faculty and staff have written groundbreaking books and articles on the causes of wrongful convictions. The CWC co-founded of the National Registry of Exonerations, a database that provides detailed information about known exonerations in the United States since 1989. The CWC's research focuses both on individual cases and identifying systemic problems with the criminal justice system including:
- erroneous eyewitness identification
- false and coerced confession
- official misconduct
- inadequate legal defense
- false forensic evidence
- perjury and incentivized testimony (snitches)
The CWC raises public awareness about the prevalence, causes, and social costs of wrongful convictions, and uses casework and research to advocate for policy reforms aimed at preventing future wrongful convictions. The Center on Wrongful Convictions has blazed a trail of revolutionary reforms, including:
- Moratorium on Illinois executions declared by former Governor Ryan in January 2000 and his decision to commute all Illinois death sentences in January 2003
- A comprehensive package of criminal justice reforms approved by the Illinois General Assembly in November 2003, perhaps most significant of which was that police must record all custodial interrogations of suspects in murder cases. Illinois was the first state to address the problem by statute, which makes statements inadmissible unless the entire interrogation has been recorded. Twelve other states have since followed the Illinois lead.
- Expanded DNA testing in criminal cases
- Provision of adequate funding for the defense of indigent clients
- Governor Quinn's abolition of Illinois' death penalty (2011)
- U.S. Supreme Court decisions. The Center has been amicus curiae (friend of the court) in seven cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and the supreme courts of various states in support of issues of importance to the wrongfully convicted.
- International reform. In 2008, the Japanese Supreme Court accepted a Center brief in a notorious mass murder case in which a confession may have been coerced. It was the first such brief ever filed in Japan by a U.S. legal organization.
- Compensation for wrongfully convicted exonerees. Following a CWC public forum (2008), the Illinois General Assembly approved a bill to speed the compensation process.
Reforming the criminal justice system to reduce the numbers of men and women sentenced to prison for crimes they did not commit will remain a Center priority for the foreseeable future. Needed reforms include:
- Expand recorded interrogations. Require police to electronically record interrogations - not just in murder cases, but in ALL cases. Record witness interviews by police in order to document and avoid coercion and incentivization of witnesses.
- Improve interrogation procedures. Place limits on the length of interrogations and on tactics which are known to contribute to false confessions, including the use of lies about evidence and the use of polygraphs during interrogations. Develop best practices for interrogating juveniles and other vulnerable suspects.
- Reform police lineups. Change procedures in accordance with social science research to reduce erroneous identifications by victims and eyewitnesses.
- Reform pretrial discovery by enacting open file discovery rules to provide defense attorneys with the tools to fully defend their clients.
- Improve accountability. Hold police and prosecutors accountable for misconduct in criminal investigations and prosecutions.
- Increase and expedite compensation for those wrongfully convicted.

Despite the fact that it is in the center, the building itself is quiet, thanks to the thick walls, which originally were the town-walls (few hundred years ago :) ). The facade front of the building on the ground floor hosts a bank - so the area is very safe. :)

We arrived late, flight was even 20 mins late too, but Agnes with her husband was there friendly waiting for us. She politely explained how all works so we had no problems. She knew that we like to go to baths, so she recommended us a newly reopened and reconstructed one, Veli Bej. Everything worked well in the flat. Flat was as described, central situated and very quiet. When we left back to the airport Agnes promised us to keep the flat until it was our time to go in late afternoon (nobody was coming in that day). So maybe we come back some day. Thanks Agnes! Timo and Maija
Agnes was a great host, very helpful. She gives you little tips on how to make the most out of your stay and places to visit. She's really lovely and easy to get hold of if you need any help.
The apartment is lovely, very large, and has a lot of facilities. It is in a great location and really easy to find. Would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.
We had a fantastic stay, Agnes is very helpful and easy to contact, spacious apartment with everything you need, one minor thing: we are used to soft beds and this one is quite firm. That's all, Agnes thank you very much!
Agnes is a wonderful Host. The flat is well equipped and clean. Agnes even took the time to give us some useful Information where to find supermarkets, places to go and what to see. She is a very nice peson. The flat is located perfectly in the center and you can walk anywhere. The metro is only 2 minutes away. The communication with Agnes was very good and clear and we could always reach her. We definitely recommend this Flat an we will definately stay there again when returning to lovely Budapest .
The location of this flat is perfect – walking distance to most places of interest. Restaurants, grocery stores and public transportation are just a stone throw away.
The flat itself is clean, well equipped, quiet and warm – even in January. Agnes is a perfect, generous hostess, she gave us valuable advice of what to see in Budapest and provided maps and guides for the city.
We strongly recommend this accommodation – we would definitely visit Agnes again!
Highly recommended! It was very good experience to meet Agnes and stay in the apartment. The place is fully equipped and in the very best location, Agnes itself is extremely helpful, open and supportive. This definitely will be my place everytime I visit Budapest!
Agnes was very helpful and friendly, meeting us at the apartment on our arrival and recommending places to visit. The apartment was lovely had everything we needed to be comfortable. It is in a great location in central Pest with a good range of restaurants and bars, transport links and attractions nearby. Despite this it is quiet in the apartment, you cannot hear the road, only the occasional underground train at night. I'd definitely recommend it for a comfortable stay in Budapest. Thank you Agnes!
An amazing apartment on a great location nearby restaurants, shops and the Danube. We arrived late and Agnes and her husband were waiting for us and on the last day she had great solutions for our problems. She printed our bustickets and we had a place to leave our luggage. Props to her for that! The communication, quick respons on our mail and text messages, were great. If we look back at our vacation, we couldn't have wished for a better stay. Thank you, Agnes.
I really enjoyed my stay in Budapest. Agnes was a careful hostess, she collected brochures and gave advice.
The apartment is clean and perfectly well located, Not in the crowded tourist area, but so close to the center. Very quiet place. Shops and restaurants around.
The courtyard of the building reminds me the film 'music box' when Jessica Lange goes to Budapest.
To make it short, kösönöm Agnes !
