Additional Foodland locations under the banner of Ohio Valley Supermarkets Inc. were opened in Point Pleasant, W.Va .. in 1983 and at Pomeroy in 1984. Over the years.

The explosion occurred about 10:30 a.m. at Austin Powder Co. ·s Red Diamond plant near McArthur. It happened in a building where workers make detonating cord used in commercial blasting. said Mike Gleason, executive vice president. Vinton County Sheriff Dave Hickey said employee Marietta Betts had burns over most of her body. She and coworkers Becky Castor and Dcbb1e Hagerty were flown by medtcal helicopter to Ohio State University Medical Center. A fourth woman. Helen Hall. was taken to a local hospital. Hickey said. All four women are from McArthur. Their conditions and ages were not available. Federal and state officials say three workers were flown to Oh1o State and five were treated at the scene. The cause of the explosion was under investigation, but Hickey said there is no reason to believe criminal activity. Cleveland-based Austin Powder manu factures 'explosives for the mining and construction mdustries and performs blasting services. About 200 people work at the McArthur facility, which was built in the 1930s and includes dozens of buildings. The cord the women were manufacturing contains a offers 3-yr. degree small amount of high explosive. said Kim Riddell, spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco. Firearms and Explos1ves. Investigators have not entered the building as they await an assessment on its safety. Riddell said. The building sustained its heaviest damage to the roof. she said. the federal ATF.

Ohio center for unm~ed aircraft granted $500K Bv JAMES HANNAH ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER DAYTON - Ohio has awarded $500.000 for a new center that will develop and improve the type of technology used in military 'droQeS that spy on and attack the enemy. The Ohio Controlling Board approved release of the grant money to fllnd the Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Exploitation. a military/university/business partnership. The plan is to develop the technology for both military and civilian uses, such as fighting forest fires and inspecting oil pipelines. Release of the money gives the center the green light to proceed, state Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering. said Tuesday. "The·check is on its way so these investments can be made," he said. The Ohio Third Frontier Commission has approved an additional $2.5 million to support the project, but the Controlling Board has not yet approved the release of those funds. The Pentagon has been increasingly using UAVs. or drones. overseas because they enable the military to spy on or attack the enemy without putting pilots and air crews in harm's way.

"An unmanned aircraft gives you the ability to hover right above a place for a long. long period of time," Thompson said. "It gives :you an unblinking eye; it gives you surveillance ability you can't get any other way:· Larrell Walters said the goal of the new center is to add and improve the capabilities of drones as well as make them smaller and less expensive. Work done at the • new center will have both military and commercial applications, said Walters, who heads the University of Dayton-led Institute for Development and Commercialization of Advanced Sensors Technology. Potential nonmilitary uses also include mapmaking and resolving hostage situations. Walters said the Dayton area is the ideal place for the center because it is home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. which manages the Air Force's UAV program. does research on drones and buys them. In addition. he said, the area is rich with . companies that make parts and technologies that.can be used in UAYs. "It's like all the pieces are here," Walters said. "You end up having something no one else in the nation has." Walters smd the companies and organizations that make up the center are expected to employ about 50 new workers within .the next five years. He said the center is looking for a director and compiling a list of equipment that wtll be needed. such as UAV bodies. voltage-checking oscilloscopes· and bandwidthtesting packets.

Member SIPC. Home loans available to low-income residents MARIETTA Low income rural residents in 18 Southeastern Ohio counties. including Meigs, may be eligible for federal money if they wish to build or purchase a home but cannot secure conventional financing, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Office in Marietta announced today. According to Carol Costanzo, area director, many people who thought they could never own a home now have another opportunity. Rural Development assists many families "acquire the American Dream of owning their own home through its Direct Loan Program. These loans usually require no down payment and can be used to purchase, repair or build homes to meet the needs of the household. Properties must be located in rural areas. Loans can be made for up to 100 percent of the appraised value, with a term of 33 years and a fixed interest rate, now 5.125 per- cent. In addition. payment assistance. which can temporarily' lower the effective loan rate to as low as I percent, is available to bon·owers who qualify based on income. This lowers the monthly out-of-pocket cost for the mortgage payment and is reviewed annually. According to Costanzo, these loans ensure applicants have access to safe, well-built, . affordable homes. Interested applicants must have a stable source of income. a satisfactory credit history, and have responsibly managed the1r other debt. As an example. in the majority of the Southeastern Ohio counties, the adjusted income limit would be $43.050 for a four person household. Additional household ~i.te income limits can be obtained by calling the Rural Development Area Office. The agency also administers a Guaranteed Loan Program. The guaranteed housing loans arc utilized through approved lenders. These fixed-rate 30 year loans require no down payment and bear market interest rates.

Big Ten trying to change perception CHICAGO (AP) Between a 1-6 bowl showing last season and some high-profile upsets in recent }'ears. the Big Ten's reputation is as bruised as an unprotected yuarterback. For coaches and pla.yers. those are painful hits. "Everybody in this room wants to change it." Ohio State defensive lineman Please see Skyline, 86 Doug Worthington said Tuesday at the conference's I media day. Around the conference, Michigan aRd Indiana are touting sparkling training facilities, and Minnesota is welcoraing football back to campus after 27 years with a stadium set to open. But that new shine alone isn't enough to restore an image that could use a polish. The Big Ten is 9-20 in bowl games the past four years - including two BCS champiOnship game losses by Ohio State - and has not had a winning postseason record since 2002. Things have been particularly bad in BCS games, with the conference in an 06 slide the past three years. only one of those losses by fewer than 14 points . That includes a nearly decadelong dive in the Rose Bowl, where the conference has dropped six straight since Wisconsin beat Stanford 179 in 2000. f~el like e\ery team in 1 the"I B1g Ten needs to take that as a sign of disrespect:· said quarterback Daryl! Clark of Penn State, a 38-24 loser to Southern California in the Ros~_; Bowl. He realizes the critics have plenty of ammunition. The same goes for Illinois coach Ron Zook. "Until we go win the bowl games and obviously win the games out of conference. there's not really a whole lot we can o.;ay." Zook said. The bowl losses aren't the only elements fueling the idea that the conference isn't what it used to be. feeding the misgujded perception that it's plodding and antiquated. The Bi'!!

Adding r:avre would have been viewed by many as the final piece for a team that already has star running back Adrian Peterson and a stingy veteran defense that returns ncarly intact from lust year's NFC North title season. ''It was a rare and unique opportunity to consider adding not only a future Hall of r:ame quarterback but one that is very familiar with our and divbion," system Childress said in a prepared ~tatement.

Roush Fen way Racing said Tuesday it will move Cro\\ n Royal to the former NASCAR champion's car next season. Crown Royal has been with the team as sponsor for Jamie McMurray. who is in the final year of his contract. RFR officials have said they want to re-sign McMurray. but only if they can find additional sponsorship. • Kenseth lost his longtime sponsor last week when Dewalt Power Tools said it would not return in 20 10. ill, NU aim for Wrigley Field date CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois and Northwestern are talking about moving their annual Big Ten football game to Wtigley Field. Northwestern spokesman Mike Wolf says the schools · have talked se\ era I times with the Chicago Cubs, most recently last weekend. . Wolf says the schools ha\e a lot of details to work out, among them the financial arrangements and logistics of turning Wrigley's surface into a football field. But Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald and Illinois' Ron Zook 1ike the idea. ~ ·'It might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our young men." he said. "Do I want to leave Ryan Field? No. -No way. I'm a huge Blackhawks fan, and to see what the Winter Classic did, to turn a regular-season game into a bowl game would be an unbelievable opportunity for our 'young men and our fans.'' The Blackhawks played Detroit in the Winter Classic on Ne\\ Year's Day, but the old ballpark has a long football history. The Chicago Bears called Wrigley home through 1970. Wolf says the soonest a game could be played then~ would be late in the 20 I 0 season. Big Ten from PageBl "'year or if the Wolverines rebounded from a dreadful 3-9 showing in its first year under coach Rich Rodriguez. - The Wolverines also have also been on the short end of two huge upset the past -two seasons. In 2007. it was Appalachian State walking out of the Big House with a victory. Last season. Toledo ' did the same. Northwestern didn't help matters in '07 by falling at home to a Duke team that had lost 22 straight. although the Wildcats rebounded last season to go p9-3. Illinois, however, fell to 5-7 after reaching the · Rose Bowl. losing to Western Michigan along the \\ay. As for Michigan? "You expect Michigan to be playing in a January ·Bowl game or potentially in a BCS game and in the top ranks," Rodriguez said. He sees a connection . between Michigan's swoon and the perception of the Big Ten. Wolverines Linebacker Stevie Brown isn:t so sure. "I don't feel we have to be great for the Big Ten to be great," he said. "I think all the schools in the Big . Ten are good." Yet, something isn't quite working. The physical play is what attracted the 6-foot-6, 276pound Worthington to the Big Ten. But even though ~pread offenses can be -found throughout the <' league, from State College. Pa .. to Mtnneapolls. the league just doesn't seem as sleek as others. "Some guys \'v·ho are 150 pounds and run ~ 4.2 wouldn't want to play in this conference," Worthington said. The coaches seem fixated on the schedule. Most are pushing for a break from the tradition that had no conference games scheduled after the Michigan-Ohio State game just before Thanksgiving. The idea is to avoid the long layoffs they believe are allowing other conferences to feast on the Big Ten in top-tier bowls. That would mean adding an open date and/or playing into December. ... Or. as Penn State coach Joe Paterno suggests. add a I 2th team. split into two divisions, and play a championship game the way the SEC. Big 12 and ACC do. .. I'm trying to get people to talk about expanding so we could have a playoff. but I don't think there's a lot of enthusiasm for that with some of the presidents," Paterno said. "That\ obviously their call. ... I'm just putting on the table an idea.'' While Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany indicated expansion won't happen anytime soon, the scheduling shift is gaining momentum. Illinois has two open dates and two games after the Ohio State-Michigan weekend - at Cincinnati on Nov. 27 and Fresno at home on Dec. 5. the same day Wisconsin visits Hawaii. www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Bengals offense starting out from dead last CINCINNATI (AP) Last in the league. Even no\\, it's difficult for the Cincinnati Bengals to accept how poorly their star-laden offense played last season. Last? "Oh. it kills your pride," offensive coordinator Bob Bratkow~ki said. "I take a lot or pride in what we do. To finish last in the NFL in offense - we're used to finishing in the top I 0. To finish last, that hurts your pride.'' Bengals coaches responded by redesigning the offense. which will be the focal point when players report for camp in George to\\ n. Ky.. on Thursday. Bratkowski has thrown out some plays, added others and reconfigured everything else. ''It is different." Bratkowski said. "We are going to be different." The biggest difference is at quarterback. Carson Palmer partially tore a ligament and tendon from the bone in his passing elbow. forcing him to miss a dozen games last season. The Bengals dropped their first eight games - Palmer played in half of them - and finished4-llI. their worst mark in coach Mar, in NOTEBOOK Lewis' six seasons. Instead of having surgery, Palmer chose to let the injury heal with rest. His arm was back to normal during the team's minicamp in June. He was still a little rusty from missing so much time during the season, but the Bengals think he'll be back. tn form by the season opener against Denver on Sept. 13. One change during camp: Palmer will be limited in the number of snaps he takes, allowing him to gradually build back his arm strength. "At any point, you don't want your quarterback's shoulder to become sore," Lewis said Tuesday. before the team's annual preseason luncheon. "It has nothing to do with the elbow. Our quarterback likes to take every snap. so we have to pull him back.." The Bengals can redesign the playbook all they want, but they're going to flirt with another bottom-of-the- barrel finish on offense unless they get some stability on their offens1ve line . Asked to describe the state of the line with two days left before the start of camp. Bratkowsk.i said, "The offensive line 1s interesting." Only right guard Bobbie Williams returns in the same spot. The Bengals went through a major overhaul. deciding not to keep right tackle Stacy Andrews. left tackle Levi Jones and center Eric Ghiaciuc. Kyle Cook takes over ·at center, and left guard Andrew Whitworth moves to left tackle. The Bengals are counting on first-round pick Andre Smith to start at right tackle, a position he has never played. First. they have to sign him. The line struggled to open holes for running backs i d protect the quarterbacks season. Unless the line bilizes and improves matically. it could be another season similar to the last one - one that still makes the Bengals cringe. "It was miserable," Bratkowski said. "It was the most miserable season I've ever had as a coach." Bengals not interested in Vick CINCINNATI (AP) - Bengals owner Mike Brown hopes some other NFL team decides to give (jUarterback Michael Vick another chance. Brown praised commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to conditionally reinstate Vick, giving him a chance to resume his career after serving jail time for running a dogfighting ring. Brown. who is known for giving players extra chances, said Tuesday he hopes some team signs Vick soon. However, he won't be calling Vick with an offer. The Bengals already have three quarterbacks signed for the season. and Brown said Vick wouldn't be a good fit for his team as a result. Vick is allowed to participate in training camp and could be reinstated b) the sixth week of the regular season. Fiacco primed for encore to solid rookie season WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) - Joe Fiacco can't help but srrtile when thinking back to how lost he was at his first 1\IFL training camp. "You don't know anybody, you don't know what to expect. you don't really know the offense so you're kind of scared of getting in there and messing up." the Baltimore Ravens quarterback recalled Tuesday. "You feel like a freshman in college, a freshman in high schoo~ again." Drafted in the first round of the 2008 NFL draft. Fiacco arrived in camp as the third-string quarterback.. He became the starter late last summer after injuries to veterans Kyle Boller and Troy Smith. This year. Fiacco sits atop the depth chart in camp after guiding Baltimore to the AFC championship game. Fiacco still has much to learn. but his comfort level has increased over the course of the past 12 months. Which explains why. on the opening day of his second training camp, Fiacco laughed when asked ho\\ he would handle the sudden retirement of wide receiver Derrick Mason his favorite target during a 2008 season. "Last year 1 had no idea who I 'was going to be throwing the ball ~o. I didn't know what Derrick Mason or Mark Clayton even looked like. I probably thought Mark Clayton was Derrick Mason at one point," Fiacco said. "So this year we're in much better shape.'' Over the final II games of the regular season, Fiacco led the Ravens on a 9-2 run while throwing 13 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. He then became the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to win two playoff games. The season ended with a three-interception performance in a loss to Pittsburgh in the AFC title game. During the offseason Fiacco spent hours 'itudying film and throwing passes to Clayton or just about anyone else willing to nm a pass pattern. Fiacco still wears No. 5 and has a short-cropped haircut undemeath his helmet.· but he bears little resemblance to the bewildered rookie of a year ago. "It's like night and day," quarterback coach Hue Jackson said. "He's got 19 games under his belt. Our expectation as a coac~ing staff is that he's going to play much better than he did last year. That's what he expects of himself. There's no question in my mind we should see a much improved player on the field." Clayton sa,id Fiacco really benefited from last season. "You can see it in him. He's not wide-eyed, like he was," Clayton said. "He knows what to expect. therefore he can anticipate better." Fiacco was uneasy and tentative last summer. At first, his focus was to avoid making mistakes. Though Fiacco failed to throw a touchdown pass in either of his first two games, he was steady enough to help Baltimore beat Cincinnati and Cleveland. Three straight losses followed before Fiacco shredded Miami, going 17 for 23 for 232 yards and a touchdown in a 27-13 win. He finished the season with a flourish. and expects to carry the momentum into 2009. ''I feel much more comfortable right noow. I'm light years ahead of wlaere I \vas last year at this point," he said. "But toward the end of the season l obviously was feeling pretty good. My goal for the offseason was to make sure I continued with the process. continued to learn the offense and not take a step back." Fiacco's development remains a work in progress, as evidenced by his three interceptions against Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game. But his poise isn't an issue, which is why he's earned the nickname Joe Cool. ''I'm not very cool. I'm laid back,'' he insisted. "I don't know if that's a great name for me. but I'll take it. My thing is to go out there and play football. I have fun when I'm out there.'' Fiacco had a good time making a commercial for Reebok. in which he hits two soaring cla) pigeons with footballs. Asked if he really hit the targets, Fiacco coyly replied, 'Til leave it up to your imagination.'' His parting words in the commercial. however, were very real. "Last year:· he said, "was just the beginning." NOTES: The Raven-; signed 5-foot-7 WR Ja~ s Foster, who last year · time on the Pittsburgh Denver practice squads. Because of a shortage o WRs. backup QBs Troy Smith and John Beck ran patterns during 7-on-7 drills ... Se\'eral players were temporarily placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. including RB Willis McGahee and CB Samari Rolle. although coach John Harbaugh said it was a temporary measure. Harbaugh expected McGahee (knee) to participate in practice by the end of the week .... The holdout of OT Michael Oher. Baltimore ·s top draft pick. extended to a second day. "I know Michael Oher wants to be here." Harbaugh said. . WEDNESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �Wednesday, July 29, 2009 ' •' . > ~ " \!tribune- Sentinel - ~egtgter C L A S S I F I E D· '<. ~ .

Secured with elastic cords to a railroad bridge more than 200 feet over a gorge south of Mount St. Helens, Portillo's mission was to dive over the edge. She pretended to thrmv up, getting a nervous laugh out of the troops behind her. Then, keeping her own anx1ety in check, she bungee-jumped into the lush green below. Dozens of soldiers in the 2nd Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Regiment and the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team took the plunge that day last fall. Most had been recently deployed in Iraq. Fev. had bungee-jumped before. As he stood at the edge. Sat. Steve Damron felt a mix trepidation and adrenaline that he likened to patrols through Baghdad. "It's a chance to calm our brothers down." he said, "to push that adrenaline out." That's the idea. More than 323,000 Army soldiers have served more than one deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan, according .to Defense Department statistics entering June, and the Army had the highest rate of suicides on record last year. Researchers reported this month that 37 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans Seeking care at Veterans Affairs clinics for the first time are being diagnosed with mental health disorders. The situation has the military searching for ways to supplement and redefine its counseling and self-awareness evaluation programs, and now, for ways to bring the thrilling terror of war home through safe outlets. The battle-weary 4th Stryker Brigade based at Fort Lewis, outside Tacoma, was picked for the third and final trial of a new Army program called Warrior Adventure Quest. It sends soldiers just back from war on outings of paintball, mountain biking, scuba diving, sky diving, whitewater rafting, alpine skiing, snowboarding and rock climbing. Army officials say they've learned that soldiers who are used to life in a war zone suddenly find life at home to be moving at a glacial pace. The theory is that extreme experiences such as thrill sports can help troops overcome what one soldier in the 4th Stryker Brigade called Qf . Favre fromPageBl Rosenfels, the two veterans who were expected to compete for the job before the latest Favre drama began. Jackson and Rosenfels were peppered with questions about Favre during the team's minicamps this summer. It already was a testy situation for them to deal with, and now they will likely face a whole new set of inquiries with the job up for grabs again. Jackson's agent, Joel Segal, said he spoke to his client shortly after the news broke. "He was his usual cool, Skyline from Page Bl After suffering mechanical woes in qualifying, Jimmy Nier came back to finish a strong third behind another solid finish by Aaron Higgins. Higgins closed the gap on Smith by lap 19, but Smith blew by the lapped cars of Brandy Bower, Alec Martin, and .Mitch Harble all in one swift pass. Behind second place Higgins was Jimmy Nier, Jimmy Stinson, Keith Baxter, Josh Davis, Eddie Slone, Kory Crabtree, Mitchell Harble, and Brian Benson. Baxter was the r!lce 's hard-charger of the race. Harble overcame an impressive 360 spin that cost him only a few positions. allowing him to rebound for a top ten.

Sylvia Portillo, bungee jumps as she takes part in Warrior Adventure Quest near Amboy. Wash. "the Rambo syndrome'' the emotional need for some of the tension and fear-tinged excitement of combat. "If they want adrenaline, let's give them adrenaline. Let's give it to them in a manner in which they are going to survive," said John O'Sullivan, the Army's program manager for outdoor recreation and the Warrior Adventure Quest. Damron said bungee jumping worked on an emotiona! level. "It's like your first time going in a house" in Iraq, he said. "You have no clue what's on the other s1de. You hit one room, awesome sweep. Now, OK, you've got to hit another room. You're walking in the middle of the night. You have no clue what's out there - like bungee jumping." Warrior Adventure Quest is really a post-deployment extension of an emotionbased battlefield assessment the military has, developed for small-unit leaders. It goes beyond the traditional review of tactics to include immediate assessments of soldiers' reactions and the acknowledgment of the need for "self and budd} aid." The team that hegan developing Warrior Adventure Quest recommended debriefings after each activity. The sessions ru·e aimed at helping soldiers realize the connection between the extreme sport experience and challenges of reconnecting to their daily lives back home. "It's a final reset" before returning to society. said Lt. Col. Ed Busher. the deputy director of the behavioral health department in the Army's Office of the Surgeon General. who traveled to Fort Lev.:is for the program's final test. "It's been unanimously well received,.. he said. "Every iteration. there's been this experience of. 'Oh, this reminded me of Iraq.'" The Army began implementing WalTior Adventure Quest into platoon-sized units of 30 to 40 soldiers in January, at Grafenwoehr and Ansbach in Germany, and then at Fmt Drum, N.Y.. Fort Stewart, Ga .. Fort Campbell, Ky .. Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. and Fo1t Bragg, N.C. By this fall, the Army will have started Warrior Adventure Quest at 26 posts worldwide. Dr. Dan Blazer is intrigued by the program but c~L!tio~s not to put too much fa1th m its effects for the long term. A professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University \1edical Center who works with World War II veterans still struggling with their experiences. Blazer said in an email to The Associated Press that "the premise is both interesting and in some ways sound (just as vigorous cxercise can in theory relieve anxiety)." However. Blazer - who served on a military mental health task force in 2007 cautioned that, "'T do have one opinion about such approaches: The stress of war is unlike anything else that we can imagine or imitate. I suspect that as long as we have war, especially war such as in the two theaters curTently. we are going to see PTSD." or post-traumatic stress disorder. The program is being funded through September by the Army's Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command. The cost io,; estimated to be a minimum of $7 million for every 80,000 soldiers who participate. The Army is still exploring how to pay for it beyond this fiscal year. It is also collecting data from these early months of the program to see if it works. The half-dozen Fo1t Lewis soldiers who joined Damron to discuss how bungee jumping related to their missions in Iraq think it does. For them, the aggression of war remains fresh. Sounds of the urban night they used to sleep through - sirens. squealing tires - keep them on full ale1t. Garbage-strewn alleys in Tacoma and Seattle bring tlashbacks to Baghdad. Most at the bungee-jumping site had been home for less than four months. Some had done multiple tours in Iraq, completing nightly missions in Black Hawk helicopters and sleeping through days back as bases such as Camp Speicher, near Tikrit. north of Baghdad. Others' missions were more sporadrc. causing as little as two hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Now home, some go on runs at midnight because they can't wind down to sleep. "I just had to keep telling m)self to slow down," Damron said. "'I wanted to be active at all times of the day." .calm and collected self." Segal said. "He said, 'Great, let's get ready for camp."' Favre holds almost every NFL career passing record that matters, including touchdown passes (464), completions (5,720). yards passing (65,127). tegularseason victories ( 169) and interceptions (3 I 0). Many thought he could help the Vikings land that elusive Super Bowl championship, even if he was reviled b) fans here during his incredible run across the state line in Wisconsin. Favre instead passed on a chance for revenge on GM Ted Thompson and the Packers, whom he felt gave up on him too soon when deciding to move forward last summer with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He was sent instead to the Jets, where he appeared rejuvenated early in the season before arm problems arose. He threw nine interceptions in the final five weeks and the Jets finished the year l-4 to miss the playoffs. Vikings players will begin arriving in Mankato for training camp on Wednesday, with a mandatory reporting day of Thursday and the first practice on Friday. Childress has said he believes the Vikings \~·ill be good with or without Favre. .. As we have consistently communicated, we feel good about our team and . they have put forth a tremendous effort this offseason . preparing for the season ahead," he said. '"With this behind us, we look forward to getting to Mankato and getting training camp under way.'' Of course, this is Favre. which means there always could be the possibility that he will change his mind. As far as Leber is concerned. however. there's no turning back now. "In my mind this should be the end of it." he said.
