More WebOS rumors: What we know so far
The leaked details on HP and Palm's WebOS tablet keep on coming, though HP has said we haven't seen everything yet.
The leaked details on HP and Palm's WebOS tablet keep on coming, though HP has said we haven't seen everything yet.
We haven't seen HP hype a tablet since last year's flirtation with Windows 7, but that could change after February 9, when the company has all but confirmed that it will introduce its first WebOS tablet.
Is Facebook building a phone? The company won't say for sure, but for some the idea of a Facebook phone is social networking overkill. To social butterflies, a Facebook phone is a dream come true. Here is a look at the pros and cons.
By now everyone knows that HP CEO Mark Hurd was forced to resign following an investigation into an alleged sexual harassment scandal.
If there's any correlation between the recently killed Kin and discontinued T-Mobile Sidekick -- aside from Microsoft having a hand in both discontinued phones -- it's that they tried to distinguish themselves from both high-powered smartphones and s...

With iPhones and BlackBerrys everywhere, and Google Android devices on the rise, it's easy to forget that Palm was the company that made it all happen.
Palm is reporting dramatically lower sales of its WebOS-based smartphones.
Yesterday's statement from Palm's CEO, lamenting how Motorola's Droid beat the Palm Pre into Verizon stores, I was reminded of a famous Marlon Brando line from "On the Waterfront." Many people know the words, even of they don't know they come from a ...
Palm reported on Thursday that its sales are not going as well as expected due to "slower-than-expected consumer adoption of the company's products."
That sound you've been hearing--that soft "swooshing" in the distance--isn't anything important.
Palm has stayed very quiet since its releases of the Palm Pre and Pixi devices this summer, which debuted the WebOS that was at one point seen as a key rival to Apple's iPhone.
If I had a dollar for every instance of misguided Wall Street speculation, I might be richer than a trader, but let's just imagine that Nokia will acquire Palm, as reported on Friday.
A rumor that Nokia might purchase Palm shot the troubled smartphone company's shares up on Friday and reignited the debate: What should happen to Palm?

I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

It is amazing what girls can do! I visited an excellent camporee this past weekend. It was run by girls, and that is the way we want it. As I walked from one station to the next, everyone was having an EXCELLENT time. They were learning things, everyone was engaged. It was a fantastic illustration of what GIRLS CAN DO!

January 08, 2014, 12:54 pm Holder: School discipline racially biased, overly harsh
By Ben Goad
Attorney Gen. Eric Holder called upon the nations school districts Wednesday to re-think zero tolerance disciplinary policies that he said disproportionately punish minorities and push too many students into to the justice system.
Alarming numbers of young people are suspended, expelled, or even arrested for relatively minor transgressions like school uniform violations, schoolyard fights, or showing disrespect by laughing in class, Holder said during a speech in Baltimore.
Holders remarks accompany the release Wednesday of new federal guidance from the departments of Justice and Education pressing schools to adopt disciplinary policies that are fair, non-discriminatory, and effective.
The guidance lays out the parameters of punishment as governed by federal civil rights protections, alternatives to exclusionary discipline and a comprehensive list of regulations on the books in every state.
Included in the guidance is a 32-page Dear Colleague letter putting schools on notice that the agencies are prepared to use authority to investigate the claims of racial disparity in the punishment of students.
As part of this commitment, we will enforce Federal laws to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination in school discipline, the letter warns.
The action won praised from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which offered forward research showing that black students make 36 percent of those expelled, though they represent only 15 percent of students.
"With the rise of law enforcement in our schools, the proliferation of zero-tolerance policies, and misuse of suspensions and expulsions, our nations school discipline policies are pushing children out of school," said Deborah J. Vagins, the ACLUs senior legislative counsel.
The Education Department us also issuing a set of guiding principals meant to help schools comply with federal laws, a directory of disciplinary resources available to schools and an online compendium of state laws and regulations.
Positive discipline policies can actually foster safer school environments, without a heavy reliance on suspensions and expulsions, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement.
Schools also must understand their civil rights obligations and avoid unfair disciplinary practices, he said. We need to keep students in class where they can learn.
Agreed - no-tolerance policies regarding even images or representations of firearms are destructive, insidious, and serve to mold a new generation of serfs who fear guns and believe they are only properly possessed by government.
Leave it to Holder to take a good cause — pushing back on "zero tolerance" school policies — and pollute it with a needless racial angle.
Poor behavior, socially (correlated to race though) based, needs correction.
When schools must report suspensions by race, they naturally stop suspending the black kids as much, the black kids know that, and misbehave even MORE.
I know. I hear it every night at the dinner table.
Way to go, Eric! Holding your people to lower and lower standards will confine them to the liberal ghetto forever.
Which, we know, is the point.
You must be some special kind of idiot.
The best thing to do is put minorities in their own schools so that they can be disciplined as their "community" believes is necessary.
Question—how are we supposed to deal with feral youth, who are raised in ghetto culture? A culture in which trying to do well in school is derided asacting white? A culture in which all slights, real and imagined, are settled with violence?
Against this backdrop, teachers are supposed to try to socialize these feral youth. But any discipline administered is considered racist.
That's the crazy world we live in now.
I'll just assume that you didn't read my entire post. I'd rather not assume the worst about you as you've done to me.
Does this man think about anything but skin color?
Holder is a racist lawbreaker. Unfortunately, he is in charge of 'enforcing' the nation's laws.
He wants non-Whites to go scot free, and Whites to go to jail for thinking the wrong thoughts.
Agreed - no-tolerance policies regarding even images or representations of firearms are destructive, insidious, and serve to mold a new generation of serfs who fear guns and believe they are only properly possessed by government.
Hmm, Liberals whining about a policy they helped create inthe first place....
1. Create Problem
2. Make problem worse
3. Create Solution inthe name of "Social Justice"
4. Use Solution to consolidate control over populace.
Holder is going to do something constructive?
Say it ain't so! I guess even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then...
"Zero tolerance" needs to go.
Whammo! You nailed it.
There would be an easy way to prove that minority students are being unfairly disciplined. Jut put cctv in all classrooms with minority students. The result, from many sources I've read accounts about from on the internet, would not be to Eric (my people) Holder's and other racialists liking. From what I've read many or most classrooms with majority black students are chaotic, semi-violent nightmares. So let's do the camera thing, and see who's lying.
Statistical drivel. They need to examine the rate of expulsion with the rate of expulsion-punishable offenses. They can break THAT down statistically and have a meaningful answer.
It's a shame that schools and governments just cannot do math.
Where are the "Community Leaders", they are as absent as a Father who went out for smokes 5 years ago and never came back.
Why aren't the likes of Jessie and Al demanding MORE of their own people instead of demanding less from their people and more from everone else which does nothing but add to the problem...
"Community Leaders" are nothing more than "Community Grifters" these days...
Leading by Example is bad then the Leaders are setting horribly bad Examples to be led by....
The action won praised from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which offered forward research showing that black students make 36 percent of those expelled, though they represent only 15 percent of students.
The response to that little stat is : So what?
What these kids were doing needs to drive the expulsion rate.
If a white person called for easing up on standards set for blacks as Holder is doing...
They'd (rightfully) be called a racist.
Holder once said we need to hold a national conversation on race relations here in the US. OK Eric; how's this for a topic:
How come we let blacks have an unfair advantage in education, in employment, in housing, and in every other aspect of life and it only increases their welfare roles, prison populations and illegitimacy rates?
What's the answer you racist POS? Ignoring the Knockout Games? I don't think so.
Unless they're whitey kids making a "gun" and pointing it at another kid and saying "bang!".
Those kids, to the plastic shredders.
I will just assume you don't know what Holder is REALLY talking about.
I say again, and this comment from a black guy:
okay, Im going out on a limb but... doesnt what Holder want scream for...re-segregation?
Yes - and no. Certainly zero tolerance policies help when dealing with the lawyers, but they are overall stupid. Why would you not consider the individual situation when deciding on a consequence? However, I'd like to see a list (even one name) of students who have been prosecuted for violating the dress code or for laughing in class. As for criminal prosecutions for fights, I approve of that option when the fight gets out of hand or is unprovoked. This speech is another racial wedge based on nothing in the real world.
Zero tolerance was racial to begin with. School districts needed a way to deal with unruly blacks but principals were afraid to give subjective punishments lest they be called racist. Thus was born "everybody gets same punishment" zero tolerance policies.
Remember this essay from last summer?
Essay by a teacher in a black high school
Honda Tech ^ | July 6, 2013 | Unknown
Principals are scared to death of having any personal input into a child's punishment. At its worst you have blacks claiming punishments against their children are racist but you have all manner of parents who think their little angle can do no wrong and will hassle principals for any disciplinary action. It is simply easier (and wrong and cowardly) for administration to say "well, this is the district zero tolerance approved punishment and it is out of my hands."
Black kids can't behave in school because they're socially inferior, black people can't get photo IDs because they're dumb, black mothers can't depend on black fathers because they're lazy - These are just a few of the things black leaders tells us every day about black people. Will black people EVER get tired of this?
Schools instituted zero-tolerance in response due to a disproportionate number of minorities getting disciplined.
What better way to deal with the problem then to institute zero-tolerance? Bring a handgun to school in your backpack - get expelled. Leave your fishing knife in your trunk - get expelled. Threaten to kill someone - get suspended. Fashion a handgun from a poptart - get suspended.
See how colorblind and easy it is??!!
"...doesnt what Holder want scream for...re-segregation?"
Sort of. Would "no white people left" qualify?
This and many more astute observations from the front lines of the black culture war against America are found at the link.
How 'bout it's because more of Holders peeps are likely to be little thigs just like the baby daddies.
But how could this be ?? The schools are an infestation of diversity-loving liberals.
This again proves that holder is just representative of this whole sick Clown Car administration from top down. Those who voted for these anti-logic creeps should hang their heads in shame.
Racism in reverse from the Administration's chief Black Racist (next to Obama Hussein, of course.)
and besides, whats a little rape between school chums right Ericky..???
black students make 36 percent of those expelled, though they represent only 15 percent of students.
Maybe that is because they comprise a more "difficult" group. Its hard to behave when there is no father figure around to show you a positive male role model.
Ericky, instead of looser rules, rules should be strenghten....with school uniforms, detention,dish washing and floor sweeping and Saturday class...guess the teachers wouldn't want that though..
Great. Let's get more lawyers involved in more unnecessary areas of life.
You think he has anything to say about the many "Zero-Tolerance weapons policies" we see every other day that result in kids getting suspended, expelled and arrested for pointing a finger and saying "pow", chewing a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun, talking about bringing a Hello Kitty soap bubble shooter to school, miming shooting an arrow, having a keychain fob the size of a quarter shaped like a gun, or drawing a picture of a gun?
Or how about the "Zero-Tolerance drug policies" that result in 13-year old girls being strip searched without their parents' consent, for having Midol?
Didn't think so.
And who was it that promoted all these "Zero-Tolerance" policies in the first place? The Left, that's who.
I have a feeling a fair percentage of minority suspensions deal with issues that go well beyond over-application of zero-tolerance policies.
It's hard to believe assault or drug possession, for starters, fall into that category.
To believe that that statement holds any weight would be to argue that female Asian teenagers misbehave in a manner qualifying for expulsion at the same rate as male black teenagers.
ACLU? Do you want to assert that?
That's really what the zero tolerance rules were about
(secondarily to removing responsibility from administrators for making decisions)
ensnaring "good" kids who don't get into trouble in order to make it "fair".
The phrase that appeals the most:
"it's not your fault"
Beyond belief.
Trayvon Martin was a good example of this absurd policy.
This is leading directly to the society described in a certain book written in the 1970's by an anonymous author.
The book is considered highly racist, but the society was described with nearly prophetic accuracy.

Hawkins took the loss in goal for the Bulldogs with four saves in 80 minutes.
Harrisburg had just three shots on goal in the match with the Wildcats. Anfernee Houston, Nat Harris and Carver Gregg all had attempts.
"This was a very disappointing way to open up our season at home," Harrisburg head coach Mike Stewart said, "We did not come to play (tonight). Our heads were definitely not in the game. It had really been a rough weekend for us, we had several players out with injuries or illness, so physically and mentally we were just not prepared for this game.
"We play A-J again later this season at their place and we will be better prepared for that meeting," Stewart added.

The kidaichū (寄大蟲, Literally meaning: Parasitic Giant Insects) are a species of beetle-like insects that are bred and utilised by select members of the Aburame clan as part of their Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique. Though initially small in size, if provided with the incorrect amount of chakra, these insects immediately begin to devour the flesh of their host, causing them to undergo rapid growth to ultimately giant proportions. While this trait makes them effective at damaging enemies, as noted by Shino Aburame, it also makes these insects particularly troublesome to harbour even within the user's own body.[1]

|In response to Re: CPVC to Copper
: Hi,
: I'm remodeling my bathroom and will need to relocate some of the plumbing fixtures. Because most of the piping runs under the floor in a relatively inaccessible crawlspace (filled with fiberglass, yuk!), I'd like to completely avoid any use of a torch.
: Can I connect new CPVC lines to the existing copper supply lines without having to sweat any connections? Again, since the space is not easily accessible, I want to make sure the connection will last for decades without failing. Can this be done? I hope to keep as much of the current copper supply line in place as possible, meaning I'll have to make three or four of these transitions.
: Thanks!

Mequon - It's as right and true as the rain that replenishes the earth, keeps the grass green and makes the football field playable: Defense wins championships.
And it has been bedrock gospel for Homestead ever since defensive coordinator Fritz Rauch took the job over from Matt Oswald in 2000. Oswald had helped pace the Highlanders to their first WIAA state crown in 1999 when Rauch was the linebackers coach.
But ever since, Rauch has taken the position and made it into an art form. Along with valued friends and defensive assistants present and past like Tom Fugate, Steve Manor, Jeridon Clark and others, whenever you find the Highlanders vying to reach the mountaintop of Wisconsin gridiron fame and glory, you will find the defense at the center of the story.
In the three championship wins since Rauch took over, opposing offenses haven't had much of a chance. They blanked Arrowhead 35-0 in 2006 and they frustrated another far more explosive Warhawks group two years later, 13-11, and then just last Friday, they blanked a Waunakee team that had won three state titles in a row and hadn't been shutout in seven years, 14-0.
Rauch felt that the two catchwords that worked best with this particular team were 'leadership' and 'communication.'
'This group communicated better than any group we've had,' he said.
An impassioned and intelligent man who teaches English to both freshmen and seniors at Homestead, Rauch looks for coaches and kids who are smart, intense and tireless workers. People he can trust. He looks to inspire confidence in his charges and hands off leadership duties to those who can handle it.
'The respect and trust I have in people like Tom Fugate (who works with the defensive linemen) is immense,' Rauch said. 'It has far more to do with being friends as opposed to being just colleagues. You want to go into battle? You go into battle with your friends.'
'I liked that he (Rauch) trusted me,' said senior defensive back Riley Pelisek, who for the past two seasons has made the coverage calls on the field for the secondary at Rauch's behest.
'It spoke to me of trust,' Pelisek said. 'I like being accountable and he (Rauch) trusted me enough to lead my teammates. He gave me an important responsibility and I was honored to have that trust and it motivated me to come through for him.'
Pelisek had a critical interception in the win over Waunakee.
The trust has also been manifested from above, too.
'There were times early on, I would poke my head in there (to a defensive game plan meeting) from time-to-time to make a suggestion or two,' head coach Dave Keel said, 'but the time for that passed long ago. I have 100 percent trust in Fritz and the defensive staff.'
Rauch came to Homestead from Zion/Benton (Ill.) in 1995 and worked with Oswald until Oswald took another job.
There has been no looking back since with Rauch working on a few simple principles. One of which goes something like this: 'When we've won (state titles) it's always a testament to the staff and the players, who, at the biggest moments, did their best work,' he said.
Another goes like this: 'Defense isn't sexy, it's not why people comes to the games, but it is how you win.'
Indeed. A quick study of the two previous state championship defensive units that Rauch led including pivotal moments in their evolution follows:
This unit was a like a ferociously swift and enormous shark slicing through a sleepy band of seals. Simply put, nothing could stop it. The team went unbeaten at 14-0, with only two really close games against Whitefish Bay and Germantown during the regular season and in the playoffs the defensive took it to another level.
It was like lambs led to the slaughter. It gave up only two touchdowns of any meaning in five games and actually scored four of their own. Defensive backs Ryan Lunde and Mike Feierstein were the fulcrums of the unit but powerful linebackers like Dillon Forbes (another All-Suburban selection) and Jordan Rennicke and great linemen like Erik Grimm, Qortney McLeod and future All-Stater Shelby Harris were both tenacious and relentless.
Rauch said the team was motivated by the controversial 2005 state semifinal loss to eventual state champ Racine Park.
'They were angry about that game and played with a chip on their shoulder all season,' Rauch said. 'The defining thing about that unit was the speed. We just had speed at all three levels. It made it hard for other teams to play us.'
DEFINING MOMENT: Late in the season, the Highlanders were stuck in one of their almost yearly duels to the death with Germantown. The underdog Warhawks had smacked the Highlanders in the mouth early as Germantown All-Suburban receiver Greg Rogers made two impossible touchdown grabs against a secondary that just didn't allow those things.
Rogers made another great grab late in the third quarter with the Warhawks still holding a two-score lead. It set Germantown up deep in Highlanders territory with a chance for a knockout blow.
But the defense rose to the occasion. It came down to a fourth and inches play and the Warhawks' Hall of Fame coach Phil Datka eschewed the sure field goal and went for the first down.
Quarterback Cody Griebling's sneak never had a chance as the Highlanders front stuffed it.
Shortly thereafter, the Homestead offense rallied and pulled out the victory on a miraculous screen pass.
The team itself never looked back.
The defining characteristic of this unit was power incarnate. The defensive line with Harris in his senior year prime playing both tackle and end and future Stanford star Ben Gardner zealously tracking down opponents from his end slot simply could not be moved. Both were All-State selections.
Alex Bangert and Ben Roeper played the other two positions on the line and woe to those who thought them patsies.
'Roeper actually had the best two final games (state semifinals and championship) of any of the linemen,' Rauch said.
The linebacking corps was also unspeakably fast and strong led by All-Suburban choice Lucas Speaker and Darius Feaster and the secondary was led by a 215-pound hammer of a safety named Bobby Ollman who was also named All-Suburban.
'He could squat 500 pounds,' Rauch said of Ollman. 'That team was as physically strong as any team we've had. … That group was just so confident, because it was so strong. They were just mentally strong and confident, too. They just never blinked.'
DEFINING MOMENT: Middleton scored on the first drive of the game in the state semifinal at Whitewater but then the Highlanders pushed the Cardinals back into the trees with a 35-21 decision.
But that was only a prologue for the immensely physical final with Arrowhead, which had snapped the Highlanders by a 31-7 count in the 2007 state final. The Warhawks had scored 49, 30, 35 and 49 points in their previous four playoff games behind an immense and powerful offensive line.
But that unit met its match against Harris, Gardner and company as they held the Warhawks to 279 total yards as defensive back Tom Engel returned an interception 42 yards for the go-ahead touchdown and when Arrowhead scored with 3:37 left, the tying two-point conversion pass was successfully defended by Pelisek's older brother, Brad.
'That team (Arrowhead) was about as explosive as any we've seen, they had something like 34 plays of over 30 yards in the season,' Rauch said. 'Our goal was to make them bleed slow, not fast, and on that last play (the conversion attempt), Jeridon Clark (then secondary coach) knew exactly what they were going to do.'
A fact that alludes to another of Rauch's favorite sayings: 'When great athletes meet good coaching, that's when you win state championships.'

Reviewer: 132
When you are young, the idea of a fountain of youth that would allow you to live forever seems so exciting. But this book does a wonderful job of explaining in children's terms how death is part of the natural cycle of life, and the dangers of interfering with it.

Good Shoe
"I wore these and loved them, they were a fun addition to the outfit. I think that the back of the shoe is slightly wider and since it does not have a strap , the shoe would randomly flip off while walking. Everything was great."

"I bought these as my wedding day shoes and they are very comfy! The navy blue is a TRUE navy. My bridesmaids are wearing the same shoes and they all agree that they're comfortable. The heel height is perfect, even for my taller bridesmaids."

Order 1/2 size down!
"I ordered 4 pairs of these shoes for my bridesmaids in different colors. They were the perfect color and perfect height! Only problem was they all were about 1/2 too big! Our shoe size range was from a 5-9 and they all had to be returned for a smaller size. Love the shoes but be sure to order at least a half size down."

"I was eager to order this bag because I love satchel bags. The bag is bigger than I would normally want, but it's a nice bag for the price. I was amazed at what you can comfortably fit inside. My only complaint at this time, is the hardware and zippers on the bag are gold finish not silver; as it appears in the photo. I didn't see it noted in the description, or I would not have purchased it.I don't like gold finish hardware, but decided to keep the bag anyway..DSW should make note of the hardware & zipper metal finishes in their descriptions.."

Great, versatile bag!
"I have been searching for the perfect bag for years. My search may be over. Found this gem in dark green on the clearance page. It holds my laptop, folders for school, make-up bag, all my personal items, plus room for an extra pair of shoes! I love all the pockets inside; they help me stay super-organized. And the cross-body strap makes it so easy and comfortable to carry everywhere. I strongly recommend a Steve Madden double zip satchel! Did I mention how soft the leather is?"

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County School District will have a proposition on the ballot for the June 27 primary election. The intent is to ask the Emery County voters for an .0008 percent increase in the voted leeway. They intend to offset the tax increase with a reduction in the capital outlay rate which will keep the taxes paid by county residents level.
Superintendant Kirk Sitterud said the school district will be sending information out to the citizens in the county explaining the need for the proposition on the ballot.
He explained the state auditor has instructed the school district to transfer funds from capital outlay to maintenance and operation. The funds will be shifted so the school district can continue to provide services. He explained that without an election, $1 million would have to be cut from the budget. The need for this shift is urgent so the next school year will not be affected.
Business administrator for the district, Ross Huntington stressed the need for the election in June so the voters can authorize the tax as soon as possible.
In August the district sets the tax rates for the year. In July the district would run the ads advertising the tax increase and on August 16 a public hearing will be held about the increase. That is when the tax increase would come into effect.
Huntington said it is just a matter of educating the voters what the tax increase is about. It's not really an increase but just an authorization to shift funds.
They have been to all of the schools to educate the staffs there and hopefully get the word out to the public on the situation. A brochure will also be mailed to all citizens and will go out on June 9.
Commissioner Gary Kofford had concerns about the time frame to get the people educated on the matter as it is just three weeks until the primary election.
The school administrators said they are well aware of the time frame involved and will work diligently in getting the word out. They have a school board meeting on June 14 and the public is welcome to that meeting to ask questions.
Huntington said it is crucial they receive approval from voters for this tax shift. If it is not approved the district could lose 20-25 positions and supplies and activities would be cut. He stressed the point that it is just a tax shift from capital outlay funds to operation and maintenance. The capital outlay taxes will be lowered to offset the increase in operation and maintenance taxes.
Sitterud said, "It is critical this be on the ballot in June. We cannot wait another year. We will put a question and answer session on the agenda for our June 14 meeting."
The primary on June 27 will be a Republican primary for the two commissioner candidates Jeff Horrocks and Eric Anderson. A separate ballot will be provided for the non Republican voters for the school district proposition.
The school district will pay for the cost of the ballot. Superintendent Sitterud said, "The people of Emery County have always been very supportive of the Emery County School District. People understand and appreciate what we do for the students. They are supportive even when it comes to tax increases. During the 1970s the Emery County School District faced the challenge of meeting the demands of student enrollment growth during the construction and early operation of the power plants in the county. New buildings were constructed and existing buildings were overhauled, renovated and expanded. Employee numbers were expanded to meet the needs associated with the new growth. All of these factors required funds from capital outlay accounts to be used for supervision of construction, purchase of maintenance supplies, costs of utilities for the new facilities, and for personnel services for care and maintenance of the buildings.
"During the past 15 years student enrollment has declined by nearly one-third (more than 1,200 students). School district buildings, constructed during the growth period, are now nearly 30 years old. Utility costs have increased significantly (50 percent in the last five years alone). During this time the district has continued to use capital outlay funding to care for and operate these facilities.
"Under audit directives, school districts can no longer use capital outlay funds to cover the utility and salary costs associated with maintaining facilities. Funding for these purposes must now be transferred to the basic maintenance and operation funding accounts, which will have significant budgeting implications.
"In order to meet this challenge the Board of Education has approved submitting to the registered voters at the primary election scheduled for June 27, the question of authorizing an increase in the leeway tax to assist in payment of operation and maintenance expenses for its schools. At the same time the school district will reduce the capital outlay levy by the same amount. The result is a shift in revenue - with no overall tax increase to the citizens of Emery County.
"If approved, the voted leeway will provide maintenance and operation funding to assist in the payment of necessary operation and maintenance expenses for school buildings previously covered by capital outlay funds. This will enable the school district to continue to provide essential care of facilities without creating a significant negative impact on the educational services for students, and without raising overall taxes.
"The school district wants the citizens of Emery County to clearly understand that the voted leeway will not result in a tax increase," stated Superintendent Sitterud. "The election is being held for the purpose of receiving authorization to increase the voted leeway levy but the district will, at the same time, lower the capital outlay tax rate by an equivalent amount to offset the leeway increase. The voted leeway increase will therefore be absorbed by the decrease in capital outlay rates."
Superintendent Sitterud also indicates that if the election fails, the district will need to make significant budget cuts in the maintenance and operation funding categories to offset the shift of expenses from capital outlay to maintenance and operation funding categories.
"These cuts would have a major impact on decisions related to staffing levels and programs currently being funded from M & O funds. This would very likely result in a sizable number of staff reductions, which would increase class size. It would also mean that reductions would also need to be made in funding for textbooks, supplies, extra-curricular programs, and many supplemental programs for students," said Superintendent Sitterud.
Information is available by calling the school district office at 687-9846.

Sharp looking boots
"These are great looking boots. I love the color, which is very rich that the photo doesn't show very well. As a pull-on western style, they are naturally a looser fit; but they do not slip at the heel, which is often the case with this style. The heel is a comfortable height to walk in, although because of the hard material, they are loud...then again, what are western boots without a bit of attitude?I give it 3 stars for only one reason - the insole is SO thin and flimsy, barely 1/8th inch thick. You can even feel with your hand the construction of the sole. Therefore, it loses points for comfort."

Lydia Dunham, a native of Green River, has been chosen to travel to Tokyo, Japan, in July 2012 as the First Assistant Director of a feature-length film. Cicada is the first 90-minute film from Biola University's Cinema and Media Arts program, following the school's previous three internationally award-winning short films (Mujo No Kaze, Jitensha and Persimmon). Armed with Biola's RED One (the same camera used to shoot The Social Network and The Book of Eli) and a carefully chosen crew of highly motivated and talented students, director/professor Dean Yamada is planning to take his proven model of success and shoot a feature-length film.?
The film will reunite director Yamada with writer Yu Shibuya, actor Yugo Saso and composer Dana Niu of Jitensha and Persimmon, which were official selections of the world's most prestigious short film festival, the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in France.? The film will also potentially star Masayuki Yui (Akira Kurosawa's Dreams and Ran) and Ayako Fujitani (Michel Gondry's Tokyo!).
A handful of film schools across the country have begun to tackle the massive venture of shooting a feature film, and Biola University now joins them.??The RED One has leveled the playing field amongst film programs across the nation because it has allowed even the smallest programs to attain beautiful images that were only reserved for 35mm film stock less than a decade ago.
Biola's latest Japan film, Cicada, is the story of Junpei-- a man who loses sight of his future when he finds out he cannot have children, but then is given the gift of clairvoyance and begins to see glimpses of the future.? These glimpses lead him to a series of cicada shells, which are symbolic of his desire to shed his old self.? Though his lineage ends with himself, Junpei starts anew as a father-figure to his sister's young son. As with Jitensha and Persimmon, there is a depth and humor to Shibuya's writing, which gives the piece multiple layers.? The film crew's goal is to create a film that will bring hope to a country still shaken by the earthquake and tsunami of last March.
Though the students are paying their own way to Tokyo, the crew still needs to pay for equipment rentals, production design, craft services as well as location and actors' fees.? If you are interested in supporting their endeavor, you can contribute financially at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1816764310/cicada.

PRICE-Lawrence Jefferson Young Jr. age 84, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 24, 2012 in Price, Utah. Lawrence was born on March 28, 1928 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Lawrence Jefferson Young Sr. and Mary Hazel Murray. He married his first wife Lydia DeHerrera in 1952 and together they had 11 children: Ronnie, Larry, Kenny, Mary Ann, Ernie, Hazel, Jimmy, Liz, Robin, Bobby and Alan. Tragically, Alan and Bobby died before their father. In 1971 Lawrence married his second wife Dorothy Lloyd and brought six more children into the family: Linda, Allen, Gerald, Janet, Patsy and Mary Ann, 17 children in all. Add to this 53 grandchildren, and 88 great-grandchildren.
Lawrence was a High Priest in the LDS Church and he and Dorothy were sealed in the Manti LDS Temple in 1991. He was a faithful and active member and a great home teacher.
He joined the Army and served during the Korean Conflict. His life work was being a "baker" at 14 years old, first in Salt Lake City, Denver and then in Price, Roosevelt and Evanston. Many of us remember him baking at the Towne Bakery in Price. Later he owned Larry's Bakery in Helper. He was noted for his french bread and hard rolls and the flowers he made out of frosting. Lawrence was an avid fisherman and his prize was a near record "northern pike" caught at Lake Powell. He also enjoyed hunting and often talked about how great it was to hunt the LaSal can write your own memories.
He is survived by his wife Dorothy, sisters: Gay and Beth, brothers: Ernie and Bobby.
He is preceded in death by his parents, two sons, and his brother Murray.
Funeral services were held Friday, April 27, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. at the Price LDS Stake Center (150 South 500 East). A viewing was held on Thursday, April 26, 2012 from 6-8 p.m. and also Friday from 10-11:15 a.m. prior to the service at the church. Interment will be in the Price City Cemetery. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Lawrence at www.fausettmortuary.com.
The family wishes to thank the Price First Ward Relief Society for their compassionate service.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
All of us at Choclatique wish you a very Happy New Year. We would like to thank you for making our fourth holiday selling season such a fantastic success. This year we increased our shipments by a whopping 45%. That might be expected in a booming economy, but during these troubled economic times, it is a ringing endorsement on the quality of our Choclatique artisan chocolate and companion products. We thank all of our loyal return customers and our new supporters who tried us for the first time this year.
Many of our returning customers told us they love our new streamed-lined components on the Choclatique website and all the improvements in the Build-A-Box feature. And everyone has given us AAA ratings on our new packaging that was introduced in mid-2011. The new boxes are a rich, chocolate brown reusable stylized, leather gift box with wide, hand-tied, double satin ribbon. There is only one thing that could dress up our luscious chocolate and it is the collection of beautiful new boxes.
The most exciting new product to come out of Choclatique's Chocolate Studios this year was my new book, Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Recipes. We received rave reviews and have been listed in many publications as one of the best Top 10 Cookbooks of the year. We want to thank the publisher, Running Press; my editor, Geoffrey Stone; and both our public relations teams of Seta Zink at Running Press and own PR team at J. Cutler Media Group. In 2011 we also introduced our new Designer Donuts assortment along with our Choclatique Tasting Kit—a companion piece to our new book.
None of this could have been achieved without the help of our wonderful artisans and support staff. A big "hats-off" to our chocolate team, logistics managers, packers and shippers who worked late into the night and on weekends to get our orders shipped. Also, kudos to UPS who didn't miss a single delivery. A few may have been a little late due to the unpredictable weather we experienced, but they did a great job of delivering everything.
Here are a few things to look forward to in 2012. Once again we are hearing those famous words, "It's cocktail time." During the 1900s, a "cocktail" was a normal part of the social fabric of life. It wasn't just a glass of cheap gin splashed over ice. It was an artistic achievement—satiny-smooth, fire and ice; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a glass; surgical cleanliness; insight and comfort; redemption and absolution. It was the Martini, the Old Fashioned and the Gin Fizz.
This month we will introduce Choclatique's Retro Cocktails. While many of today's popular "cocktails" originated over 100 years ago, each one has enjoyed a reinvention at least once in our lifetimes and we're glad they're back. Choclatique has faithfully recreated these wonderful beverage flavors in chocolate complete with colorful artist-inspired art deco designs in our new Retro Cocktail assortment.
We start with the Martini—not just any Martini, but a Chocolate Martini—smooth and delicious. Also included in the Choclatique collected works of chocolate Retro Cocktails is a Champagne Cocktail, Orange Frappé, Daiquiri, Gin Fizz, Old Fashioned, Piña Colada, Planter's Punch, Tropical Punch, Grasshopper, Singapore Sling, Rum & Coke, Zombie and the famous Screwdriver. You can now safely enjoy and savor your Choclatique cocktail hour and not worry about driving home. Happy hour just got happier!
This year we will also introduce Choclatique's Tea Garden Chocolates. These solid chocolate wafers are chocolate already laden with antioxidants and further enhanced with the essence of exotic teas. Now you can experience the teas of the world in chocolate:
- Bali-Hi—the natural flavors of fresh-brewed green tea, lemongrass and ginger are tempered in our own blend of dark, teak-colored chocolate.
- Star of India—our mélange of chamomile teas is slowly-brewed with a wild blend of dark-roasted chocolate, mysterious spices and curries from India.
- Japon Spring Blossom—a breath of Asian spring air, orange blossom-scented dark, robust chocolate and fresh-minted green tea.
- Tahitian Island—an exotic Tahitian island treat of natural tropical fruit flavors—passion fruit, Meyer lemon, banana, pineapple, coconut and pearl oranges—all blended with our luscious 17 bean, dark-roasted chocolate.
- Mandarin Orange—a long lost chocolate recipe from the Emperor's palace kitchen in Beijing made with imported island dark chocolate beans and Chinese Mandarin oranges.
- Jakarta Nights—Extraction of brewed Chai tea, star clove oil, cardamom, basil, lemongrass and a touch of warmth from cayenne pepper is slowly infused with our flavorful dark chocolate.
- Saigon Cinnamon Forrest—Sweet Saigon cinnamon extracts of cassia and oil from Ceylon cinnamon pods slowly blended with Tea Garden dark chocolate blends.
- Singapore Sunrise—Dark chocolate blends enhanced with slowly steeped green tea and lighted scented with wild clover honey and Sweet Asian forest cinnamon.
We now have made Choclatique Q-91 a lot easier to order and carry with you. Q-91 now comes packaged in our new 24-piece box of individually packaged wafers. Q-91 is rich in all the elements that researchers tell us reduces blood pressure, cholesterol and cavities while elevating the mood. Now you can be both healthy and happy at the same time.
Usually when thinking about social media the first tools that come to mind are Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Seldom if ever is chocolate thought of as a form of social communication. That's about to change because we have developed SweeTweets™ by Choclatique… a powerful and tasty social media tool in its own right.
SweeTweets is our messaging chocolate gift that will have your followers (gift recipients) singing your praises. SweeTweets are text-based solid chocolate posts of up to 30 characters displayed in a beautiful Choclatique stylized leather box.
SweeTweets are delivered overnight to your special followers. You don't need permission to follow anyone in chocolate. It's having a chocolaty messaging device customized with your own thoughts in chocolate reaching 1 to 1000 people in just 24 hours. SweeTweets your thoughts in chocolate wishing loved ones a "Happy Birthday," "Happy Valentine's Day," or telling that special person "I Love You."
And lastly, just in time to enjoy for the summer are our new Choclatique Ganache Sauces which will be available in May. Our Dark, Milk, White, Azteca, Fudge and Burnt Caramel sauces are perfect over ice cream or to use in any of the recipes in Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Desserts or just to take a spoonful or two.

Digital Desire Review
Beautiful women deserve the best photographers to make them look seductive and sensual. The shooters at Digital Desire have the finest models available. From newcomers to professional models to well accomplished adult talent such as Penthouse Pets and award winning actresses. The blend between beauty and sensuality of models on one side paired with the incredible talent of photographers and staff on the other side makes it the most sensous American nude art portal, today.
While most people can tell a beautiful model from an average performer and a good picture from an amateur image, it's often hard to describe the reasons for one's opinion. Speaking in general terms the most important factor in shooting good images is the vision of a shooter to depict the model in a certain way. Some guys have the magic to achieve success while others struggle. The shooters at Digital Desire succeed with every model. That is amazing. While their equipment is professional this is not their trade secret. They have the incredible talent of making gorgeous girls look natural. That in itself is an art: making beauty look natural.

On July 20, 15 Outward Bound youth and their leaders arrived in Green River. They pulled weeds and cleaned up Main Street, Wayne Goff's building, Lemieux's and the Thrift Store.
AmeriCorps* VISTA's from the Community Center/Boys and Girls Club of Green River met the group at the O.K. Anderson City Park with lunch and fresh Green River watermelon donated by Dunham Farms. City Councilmember Karen Silliman and Program Manager for the Community Center/Boys and Girls Club, Zina Willard greeted the youth and told them about the community and its residents.
While they were enjoying lunch, a bus pulled up with 19 students from Aich High School in Nagoya, Japan and their chaperones. They were in the United States to learn English. Willard introduced herself and her group to the visitors from Japan. AmeriCorps* VISTA's shared watermelon with the students and they shared sandwiches with the Outward Bound group. The two youth groups got together, talked and played a game before going their separate ways; Outward Bound moved on to their service project and the students from Japan were off to Canyon Lands and then Disney Land before returning to Japan.
The Green River Community Center said, "Thank you Outward Bound for your day of Service, your hard work and dedication is appreciated and thank you Outward Bound and our new friends from Japan, you both made it a special Sunday in Green River. Best of luck to you all with your future endeavors."

A f-cking kitten heel.
There is no love here at LaineyGossip for the kitten heel. Supposedly the fashion people are trying to make it happen. Resistance. No matter how loud you yell at me, I'm resisting.

Diagnosed: 2005Patient-to-Patient Support Line Volunteer since: 2011
After being unable to work as a teacher because of my pulmonary hypertension, I still had an inner sense that I had to contribute to the world. I was at a loss. I asked myself, "What will I do now?" I began looking into local volunteering, but with my physical health and family responsibilities I was unable to be consistent. Being a Support Line volunteer proved to be the best fit.
I once spoke with a girl from North Carolina who was diagnosed with an echocardiogram and was on Levaris. However the doctor did not give her a right heart catheter. He did not tell her about any treatments and told her transplant was the only option for people with PH. I was able to get her to find a doctor who has had PH patients. Finally, she did get a heart catheter, and she is now connected to the PH family. I definitely feel like I saved her life, and she is now well informed about PH.

According to Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is better at being sexy than her Transformers predecessor Megan Fox. Translation: She was willing to submit to the brusque, sexist will of director Michael Bay without complaint. Indeed, he hired the Victoria's Secret model, despite her lack of any acting experience, after he shot her in a titties-and-explosions-laden VS ad in 2009.
If you don't believe us, then take a look at the body language in these photos of Huntington-Whiteley and Bay promoting the movie, aided by LaBeouf's dissertation on the sexuality of women on the silver screen.

This certainly has been the week for Bill Belichick to break out a few extra props to spice up the New England Patriots practice routine.
With pesky, sky-walking defensive end J.J. Watt leading the Houston Texans into The Razor on Monday night, the trajectory, timing and rhythm of Tom Brady's passes warrant an extra layer of attention.
COWBOY CHARGED: Teammate killed in crash
REACTION TO TRAGEDY: Football community weighs in
WILEY ON CRASH: Another dead member of fraternity
Watt -- second in the NFL with 16.5 sacks and a front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year honors -- is the first player since the sack became an official statistic in 1982 to have at least 15 sacks and 15 deflected passes in a season.
It's no wonder Belichick talked of using rackets and broomsticks in drills to challenge his quarterback.
"It's like throwing over this wall: it's hard," Brady told news reporters this week. "You've just got to try to find an area."
What an intriguing subplot to the most-anticipated matchup of Week 14. Which unit best inflicts its will? Houston's disruptive defense, or New England's prolific offense?
The answers will be crucial to the bigger picture. Star Texans receiver Andre Johnson has declared this is the biggest game in franchise history.
Johnson realizes there will be at least one bigger game for the Texans in January, but for the moment this is it. Houston, which matches the Atlanta Falcons for the best record in the NFL (11-1), is in range of clinching the AFC South title, a first-round bye and the No. 1 seed for the AFC playoffs.
The Patriots (9-3) wrapped up the AFC East title last weekend. That's no biggie. It's a steppingstone toward larger goals. New England has won four consecutive division crowns, Brady is the first quarterback with 10 division titles. Better playoff seeding can help.
But beyond the nuts and bolts of the playoff order, the Texans can issue a huge statement -- and prove a bit more to themselves -- that they are the team to beat in January.
Maybe that's what Johnson really means by calling it such a huge game.
The Texans already have smacked down two other AFC division leaders, winning at Denver in Week 3 and blowing out Baltimore in Week 7.
If they make it a clean sweep of the division leaders? Huge psyche boost.
And they will pass their toughest test yet this season. As good as Wade Phillips' unit has been in his two seasons as defensive coordinator, there have been warning signs that provide reason for pause.
Sure, the Texans won in Denver. But that was so early in the season, before Peyton Manning found the groove he's been in lately. The last time the Texans faced a high-powered offense, on Thanksgiving, they barely survived the shootout against the Detroit Lions.
And Houston's loss this season came in Week 6, at Reliant Stadium, when Aaron Rodgers shredded the sixth-ranked unit for 338 yards and six touchdown passes in a 42-24 Green Bay Packers runaway.
Now comes the Patriots' top-ranked offense, which is quietly and efficiently on pace to threaten the NFL's single-season scoring record. New England's prowess is measured in the conventional ways. It leads the NFL in yards (426.3 per game), points (35.8), first downs (27.8) and third-down conversion rate (52.6%).
Beneath the numbers, though, Brady will be staring at a secondary that has been forced to mix and match its combinations because of injuries. The good news for the Texans is that starting cornerback Johnathan Joseph is due to return after missing two games with groin and hamstring injuries. Not so good is that nickel back Alan Ball is nursing a foot injury that forced him to miss practice time this week.
Healthy or not, every defense needs its front to relieve pressure on its secondary.
Which brings us back to Watt, who is flanked by the highly active likes of defensive tackle Antonio Smith and outside linebacker Connor Barwin.
As much as Brady will want to know exactly where Watt is at all times, he cannot become so preoccupied with one player -- even an MVP candidate -- that he loses focus on the overall plan, which includes getting the ball into the hands of NFL receiving leader Wes Welker and tight end Aaron Hernandez.
He'll be better off letting his O-linemen keep Watt on watch, a task that will begin with right guard Dan Connolly.
"There's a lot of trust that you have to have in the offensive line, so I don't concern myself so much with worrying about a particular pass rusher on the D-line," Brady said. "For me, it's more coverage-oriented and trying to get the ball to the open guy as fast as I can."
Did somebody mention fast? That's another weapon that Brady brings to combat the Texans defense. No team has run as many plays as New England (883), which translates to 73.6 snaps per game in a scheme that often deploys a no-huddle attack.
As Texans coach Gary Kubiak put it, "They will get their snaps."
Whether the rhythm of the snaps can be disrupted looms as the essential swing factor.
Also in play for Week 14:
Who's hot: Dez Bryant
The Cowboys big-play receiver has been on a tear and heads into Sunday's game at Cincinnati on a career-longest streak of four consecutive games with a touchdown.
In the last five games, Bryant has caught 29 passes for 475 yards, with an NFL-high six TD catches. If you wondered why the Cowboys stuck with Bryant through a series of off-the-field incidents, it has been apparent in recent weeks. And the third-year pro has already established career highs with 71 catches and 978 yards.
Pressure's on: Jay Cutler
After sprinting to a 7-1 start, the Bears have come down to earth with three losses in four games as they head into Sunday's contest at the Metrodome needing a victory to maintain a share of first place in the NFC North. It looks like a classic trap game for Chicago. Green Bay comes next weekend. And the injuries are mounting, including the hamstring strain that could sideline all-pro middle linebacker Brian Urlacher for the rest of the regular season.
This puts more weight on the shoulders of the quarterback, already laboring behind an inconsistent, reshuffled O-line that must contend with a still-formidable Vikings defensive front that is faster on its dome turf. The Bears allowed one sack during last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but that statistic is deceiving. Cutler was under constant duress. The protection needs to be much better this weekend. Or else. Chicago handled Minnesota two weeks ago 28-10 when Cutler returned from a concussion. It will be tougher this time. These divisional games are never easy, and the Vikings are 5-1 at home.
Rookie revue: Russell Wilson
It seems a given that the competition for NFL Rookie of the Year honors is a race between the headliners for a spectacular rookie quarterback crop, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. Not so fast. The Seahawks quarterback also deserves some consideration. No doubt, Wilson, a third-round pick drafted 75th overall, is the biggest bargain in the bunch. Like the quarterbacks picked 1-2 overall, Wilson is in the thick of the playoff chase, with the Seahawks (7-5) heading into Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals holding the NFC's sixth playoff slot.
The first rookie quarterback since the merger to win his first five home games, Wilson has passed for more TDs (19) than Luck or Griffin, and his 95.2 passer rating ranks seventh in the league. His steady progress may be even more striking. He has gone four games without throwing a pick (with 11 TDs) and has produced a 100-plus passer rating in each game during that span. He was impressive in crunchtime at Chicago last weekend.
Consider his final two drives, which resulted in a go-ahead TD pass late in the fourth quarter and a game-winning TD toss in overtime: Wilson completed his last seven passes, including the two TDs. On scrambles and designed runs, he rushed five times for 47 yards. He coolly converted all three of his third downs in overtime and moved the chains on a fourth down on the crucial drive in the fourth quarter.
Key matchup: Robert Griffin III vs. Ed Reed
After last week's comeback victory against the Giants, the mania-inducing RG3 said he felt a bit cheated that he wouldn't get a chance to face rehabbing Ravens icon Ray Lewis on Sunday. Terrell Suggs, nursing a biceps injury, might not play, either. But the Redskins quarterback will still have to contend with one of the craftiest safeties in the league in Reed, who will undoubtedly be up for the chess-match challenge that comes with facing Washington's read-option scheme. A few weeks ago, this seemed destined to be a Ravens cakewalk.
But with a three-game winning that put them in the thick of the playoff race, the Redskins are relevant again in December. And left to lick their wounds after losing last weekend to 38-year-old Steelers backup quarterback Charlie Batch, Reed and the depleted Ravens D must prove that their legs are fresh enough to handle one of the NFL's most electric new stars. And don't forget the help for Griffin in the form of big-play wideout Pierre Garcon. The Redskins were 1-5 in games without Garcon as he nursed a foot injury. With Garcon, they are 5-1.
Next man up: Cortez Allen
Just when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is set to return for Sunday's game against San Diego and all-pro safety Troy Polamalu looks to continue progressing after coming back from his long layoff, the Steelers have to adjust to the loss of another key player -- cornerback Ike Taylor, who is expected to miss at least two games because of a hairline fracture in his right ankle. Enter Allen, a second-year pro from The Citadel poised to make his first NFL start. Replacing the team's best pass coverer won't be easy. Allen, who entered the league as a fourth-round pick, shifts from a nickel back slot that will now be manned by Curtis Brown. He can expect plenty of attention from Philip Rivers, who has undoubtedly seen the film of Allen getting beat by Anquan Boldin for two long receptions, including a touchdown, after Taylor went down against the Ravens.
Reality check: Wounded Eagles
Andy Reid is acting like a coach who expects to return next season, despite widespread speculation that he's destined to be fired. Or he's going down swinging in an effort to save his job.
Within the last two weeks, Reid fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn, cut arguably his most accomplished pass rusher in Jason Babin and named Nick Foles as the starting quarterback for the rest of the season -- benching Michael Vick as he tries to rebound from a concussion.
The Eagles are 3-9. If team owner Jeffrey Lurie stays true to the public declaration he made during the preseason, not even running the table will keep the NFL's longest-tenured coach on the job. It's a losing season. At least Babin, who expressed bewilderment that Reid told him that he was released in a phone call rather than a face-to-face meeting, will get a chance to strike back. Babin was claimed off waivers by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who will host the Eagles on Sunday.
My road to Super Bowl XLVII goes through…Cincinnati.
The Bengals (7-5) are riding a four-game winning streak, but three of those victories came against Kansas City, Oakland and San Diego -- who are a combined 9-28. Now come the Cowboys (6-6), similarly with little margin for error while in hot pursuit of a playoff spot. This is a big test and a huge opportunity for a young team seeking to add more momentum for the stretch run. What gives?
The Bengals are tied for the NFL lead with 39 sacks and have allowed 10.5 points per game during the winning streak. Now is not the time to ease up. The defensive front with be challenged to keep Tony Romo contained, given the Dallas quarterback's penchant for making plays out of the pocket. The back end will have its hands full with Dez Bryant, a big-play waiting to happen and finding his groove. Then again, another means of effective defense might be provided by a ball-control Cincinnati offense seeking a fourth consecutive 100-yard rushing game from BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
Did you notice?
In three starts since Colin Kaepernick replaced Alex Smith as the 49ers quarterback,Kaepernick's numbers have steadily decreased. After throwing for 243 yards and posting a 133.1 passer rating in his first NFL start against the Bears, Kaepernick passed for 231 yards with a 90.6 rating at New Orleans. Last weekend, he threw for 208 yards with an 83.9 rating in the loss at St. Louis. Although W's are the ultimate barometer, this can't be the trend that 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh had in mind when he made the big switch and trumpeted the virtues of a quarterback having a hot hand.
Stat's the fact
Lions receiver Calvin Johnson is the first player in NFL history to post four consecutive games with at least 140 receiving yards and has the most receiving yards through 12 games (1,428) since Lance Alworth in 1965. Detroit's season is a washout, but at least Megatron can leave a mark during a Sunday prime-time game at Green Bay.
He's poised to become just the third player in league history (Andre Johnson, Marvin Harrison) to post back-to-back 1,500-yard receiving campaigns.
