ZURICH (Reuters Life!) - Holidaymakers in Zermatt have complained the Swiss ski resort is not snowy enough after a controversial decision to clear streets to prevent accidents. LifestyleThe car-free community of Zermatt decided to rid its streets of winter snow after several accidents and two lawsuits last year. But now skiers are complaining the town does not look wintry enough."Cleaning the streets has turned out to be a mistake and we are waiting on more snow to correct this," Daniel Luggen, Zermatt's director of tourism, told Reuters. "It is definitely the first and the last time that we do this."Luggen said neither guests nor locals were happy about the action in the town, situated beneath the famous steeple-shaped Matterhorn mountain."Even though we took a lot of snow away, we could not remove it all completely. The snow that was left was mixed with salt and dirt and it looked more like we had a beach in our streets. As soon as the weather turned milder, it all turned to mud," he said.(Reporting by Katie Reid, editing by Paul Casciato) Lifestyle. 
Jan 12 (Reuters) - Landry's Restaurants Inc (LNY.N) endedits buyout agreement with Chief Executive Tilman Fertitta asthe company was unwilling to disclose financing terms asrequired by regulators, sending its shares down as much as 43percent. Fertitta had reached an agreement in October to buyLandry's for $13.50 a share, a 36 percent discount to anearlier deal he struck with the company on June 16. The latest deal fell through after Landry's said it couldnot comply with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission'srequirement that it disclose certain information from acommitment letter issued by the lenders. The lenders held that any disclosure would be in violationof the terms of the commitment letter, and result in thetermination of their commitments for both the buyout andalternative debt financing. Landry's said it terminated the deal in order to maintainalternative financing for its existing $400 million in seniornotes with the lenders, Jefferies & Co and Wells Fargo FoothillLLC. Landry's, which operates the iconic Golden Nugget Hotel &Casino in Las Vegas and several casual-dining outlets includingLandry's Seafood House, expects the refinancing of its seniornotes to close by the end of February.

It also moved Adam Dunn out of the top 10 entirely, and moved little man Jimmy Rollins all the way up to eighth. What I have done by combining these two statistics, runs created and runs produced, accounts for a player like Rollins, who has lesser power than the others, to make his way onto the list for his effectiveness of producing runs.Of course, this is still an imperfect tool, and I’m not by any means arguing that this is a concrete list of the 10 most prolific offensive players in the last decade.As you will see, there are the usual suspects scattered across this list, but there are certainly some names that surprised me. I am confident, however, in saying that this list is a very reliable representation of the elite men at the plate in the NL for the past 10 seasons.Corresponding numbers are runs created/runs produced total run contribution Albert Pujols: 1,364/1,817 3,181 “The Machine” was just 21-years old when he began his assault on the NL in 2001, and he hasn’t relented ever since.Pujols has only posted a sub-1.000 OPS twice in his career (2002, 2007) and has won four Silver Slugger awards at three different positions (third base, first base, outfield). Todd Helton: 1,370/ 1,738 3,108 Helton had an on base plus slugging percentage of 1.000 or higher for five straight seasons from 2000-2004, and with a .328 career average, he ranks third among active players (trailing only Ichiro and Pujols).In college, he suffered an injury while playing quarterback at the University of Tennessee, giving the starting job to Peyton Manning.I’d say that injury worked out just fine for the sweet-swinging lefty in the long run. Lance Berkman: 1,242/1,676 2,918 The Big Puma does a spectacular job from both sides of the plate and in 2006, he joined Mickey Mantle (who did it four times) as only the second switch-hitter to belt 40 or more home runs in two different seasons.A Texan throughout his whole life, he’s never slugged fewer than 20 long balls in a full season’s work. Chipper Jones: 1,146/1,564 2,710 Although Jones played in all 10 seasons this decade, he still notched the second fewest plate appearances (5,887) of any player on this list because of his litany of injuries.He has smashed 273 homers since the turn of the century, and has collected the third most home runs all-time for a switch-hitter, behind only Mantle and Eddie Murray. Brian Giles: 1,075/1,459 2,534 I know what you’re saying: Brian GilesBelieve it or not, he ranks up there with the big swingers over the past decade in the National League.
