A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week’s news, we turn to a rotating panel of “non-experts” to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• The mayor unveiling his proposed budget and saying it’s balanced -- and with a dip into savings
• Yelp ranking its top cities for barbecue lovers and leaving out Houston
• The NHL team in Salt Lake City finally getting its name and logo after 13 months

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Houston Chronicle columnist Joy Sewing
• David Branham, professor of political science at the University of Houston-Downtown
• Mustafa Tameez, media and public affairs consultant and the CEO of Outreach Strategists
