NFL Wants $200 Million in Improvements to Sun Life Stadium

When comparing this year's Super Bowl with last year's, it's easy to notice the difference in the weather. At kickoff last year, fans enjoyed 60 degree weather, compared to the freezing temperatures fans in Dallas endured this year. While Miami offers a virtually non-existent winter, the NFL won't be looking to Miami for the upcoming Super Bowls.

The NFL has cited $200 million in improvements that need to be made to Sun Life Stadium if the Dolphins are to host another Super Bowl. These improvements include a canopy to shield fans from rain, an additional 3,500 seats, changes to existing seats, as well as permanent lighting installations for HD broadcasts.

South Floridians Weather Cold Snaps

The weather is forecasted to cool down to the upper 40s this weekend. South Floridians all over are breaking out their winter wear in anticipation of the cooler temperatures.

We might blame it on our love of the endless summer that Florida offers or on our thin Floridian blood which causes us to bundle up if the temperature dips below 60 degrees.

As it turns out, the latter is a myth. No matter how long you live in Florida and are exposed to prolonged warm weather, your blood will not thin. We just have gotten used to the warm weather.

People who move from colder climates to warmer climates may benefit from fat loss because of the ability to exercise outside year-round, and shake their winter woes. Seasonal Affective Disorder is common in colder climates where it gets darker earlier in the day, but is almost non-existent in sunny South Florida!

So bundle up this weekend, stay warm and appreciate the health benefits South Florida offers.

Unemployment Rate Drops in December 2010

The US unemployment rate dropped to 9.4% from 9.8% in December 2010. On top of that figure, 103,000 jobs were created last month.

The high unemployment rate has contributed greatly to the present recession, but the shift in statistics suggests a positive change in our nation's economy.

President Obama highlighted these statistics in a recent speech, and expressed his optimism for a speedy economic recovery.
