By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Could Goblin Valley State Park be expanding? The very slightest glimmer of an idea is taking shape and parties involved are excited with the possibility.
Fred Hayes the director for Utah State Parks and Tim Smith the southern regional director for state parks visited the Emery County Lands Council to discuss the idea with them.
If lands open up as a result of Rep. Rob Bishop's land bill, would there be lands that could be used to expand state parks was the question posed by the Governor's office to Hayes. They found the idea intriguing and started to look at the possibilities. One of the places considered was the expansion of Goblin Valley. The Temple Mountain area as well as Behind the Reef, Little Wild Horse Canyon, Ding and Dang Canyons all receive a lot of use. What if the state parks could enhance this area for visitors and create more opportunities for tourists.
Mainly facilities that would include increased restrooms in the area and picnic tables and an increased park like atmosphere. More signage and visitor information could also be provided.
Hayes was quick to point out the discussion to extend Goblin Valley into the Swell is in its beginning phase. It's not known how the plan would look.
Smith said plans would remain consistent with the county plan. "Goblin Valley is a profitable park. During the season, four people live at Goblin Valley. They are involved in a lot of searches and quick recoveries."
Goblin Valley personnel are also quick to report road conditions and if work is needed on a particular stretch of road.
Any extension of Goblin Valley would add a measure of protection for those areas as well and increased staff presence. Staff would be concerned with ATV education as well as sanitary facilities and making sure camping took place in designated areas. Proceeds from state parks go back into those parks.
Beautiful landscapes draw people to the area and increased amenities would make their stay more enjoyable.
Smith said an expanded park is also an economic opportunity because the state park pays Emery County sales tax and transient room tax. More employees would also be added which brings more economic opportunity.
The question was asked if grazing could continue in that area. Hayes said there is grazing in many of the state parks. They expect grazing would continue with BLM supervision.
Much of the expansion area is within a Wilderness Study Area at the current time and on SITLA ground.
One question was asked if this expansion would limit development of natural resources in the area. Lands council chairman Ed Geary said those opportunities are limited because its a WSA anyway.
Smith said at Dead Horse State Park there is drilling up to its borders and directional drilling hasn't affected visitorship to the park.
Hayes said multiple use has always been a goal of state parks.
Ray Petersen said when the public lands council held scoping meetings, a major consensus was protect resource uses. "That's what we ask of you. Be consistent. We don't want to eliminate one resource use for another," said Petersen.
Hayes said they plan to do things right and will involve Emery County each step of the way. Hayes said there was a bill which created the Utah Wilderness Act which can designate lands under the state. He doesn't know much about it or how it will play out.
Smith said the majority of these lands would be difficult to develop. But, if any wilderness is designated the existing travel routes would go away.
Hayes said the proposal when developed will go through a public process with everyone notified so they can take part. There would be a public comment period. The size of the expansion hasn't been determined yet.
Smith said the area would have to be manageable. The area is currently SITLA land and Smith said there have been partnerships with SITLA in places like Sand Flat in Grand County which contains slick rock trails. SITLA receives a percentage and maybe a partnership of this kind could be worked out.
Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director wasn't present at the public lands meeting, but commented about the project to the Emery County Travel Bureau. He said he thought it was a brillant idea and would bring more resources to that area. It also could have an effect on HB-148 which proposes to take back land in Utah from the federal government.
If the state can succeed on a smaller scale to manage that land then from that perspective it could very useful.

West Union Miracle
The biggest series ever to take place for Union County came down to a deciding game three and ended in dramatic fashion as West Union defeated the defending 1A North Half Champion Ingomar Falcons to advance to their first ever state championship Monday night.
Ashley Russell's squad took the 1-0 series lead after last Thursday's 7-1 victory at home. A three-run home run by Taylor English set the pace in that first game, as Devin Brock held the Falcons to only two hits.
Ingomar responded on their home field, taking the 8-1 win behind the pitching of their ace, Josh Hodges. The senior had 11 strikeouts while only allowing six hits in the dominating win. Hodges was also responsible for two of the Falcons three home runs in the game.
"We did a good job in game two as far as coming out with good intensity," Ingomar head coach Andy Wilbanks said. "We were throwing strikes early in the game. That's huge when you come out and throw strikes and don't get behind pitchers because you have options then."
With game three set to move back to West Union, Mother Nature postponed the deciding showdown until Monday night at Pontotoc High School.
Ingomar jumped on the board first after a two-run homer by John Logan made it 2-0 in the second. Logan plated Josh Conlee, who reached earlier in the inning on a single.
The Eagles were able to respond in the bottom half of the inning, as a passed ball scored Hunter McQuary, who hit a leadoff single.
The pitching on both sides stepped up for the next two innings, Will Basil was able to get the Eagles out of trouble in the third, striking out Conlee after walking three straight batters to load the bases with two outs. Hodges was in a similar position, as singles by Brock and Bo Garrett placed runners on first and second with one out before Hodges recorded his fourth strikeout, then had an easy out to first to end the inning.
West Union would take the lead in the fifth, as Garrett was hit by a pitch with two outs before an error by Austin Gregory behind the plate placed Caleb English on base. One of the biggest hits of the night came from McQuary who hit a two RBI double, making it 3-2 in favor of the Eagles.
Neither team could get anything going in the sixth, and down to their final three outs, Ingomar got to work offensively, as Preston Broom and Hodges were both walked with one out, and a single by Tanner McCollum scored Broom, tying the game. Basil again stepped up and struck out the next two batters, getting out of the inning and leaving runners stranded at first and third.
Three straight outs by the Eagles sent the game into extra innings, as Hodges recorded his 10th and 11th strikeouts of the game.
Ingomar threatened in the top of the eighth, as Matt Purvis had a leadoff double, and a walk by Ben Foshee placed runners at first and second. West Union's defense stepped up, as Basil had a strikeout then a line drive to shortstop ended the inning.
Caleb English started the bottom of the eighth and right after that, McQuary hit a single, which was bobbled at third. English continued to run, and with a throw back to third short, English ran home, ending the game and earning West Union their first ever trip to Pearl for the state championship.
"We did a lot of praying," an emotional Ashley Russell said after the game. "Our kids have great character, and they always believed in what we were trying to do, and it paid off."
McQuary ended the night 3-for-4, with his last two hits being the difference maker in the game.
"He's been doing it for us for three years now," Russell said of McQuary. "There's no one I would rather have at the plate, and he came through for us all night long and all year long. Great job."
Basil allowed three runs off five hits with 13 strikeouts but credited his teammates, not himself, for the win.
"It was my fault in the seventh inning," Basil said. "I should have just shut them down and we would have won, but my teammates helped me out and got hits for me. I owe it all to them."
Conlee led the Falcons offense, going 2-for-4, while Hodges allowed five hits with 11 strikeouts. Ingomar had several chances to take the game, but missed opportunities hurt the Falcons in the final two innings.
"They did a good job tonight, and they got the job done," Wilbanks said. "I thought the game was gift wrapped for us to take in two straight innings, and we didn't get the job done."
Both coaches commented on the uniqueness of the match-up, as both are friends who both coached under New Albany's Kurt Fowler.
"Coach Wilbanks and I are great friends, and I think the world of him," Russell said. "Ingomar is a great team, and I think that's what makes this so special is because we know we beat a great team."
"It's great for Union County," Wilbanks added. "There was a huge crowd here tonight. Coach Russell and I are good friends, and I wish him the best in the state championship. That's two good teams from Union County and big rivals. Union County baseball is good right now, and hopefully we can keep that trend going."
West Union will take on St. Aloysius in the 1A State Championship, starting on Thursday at 1 p.m., with game two set for 7 p.m. Friday night.

Is This A Goal Scoring Competition? Phil Kessel's Defensive Game
A. Bates
March 21 2012 06:24PM
|Not a Selke trophy
A lot has been made of Phil Kessel's defensive game, or lack thereof, this season. Phil has been labeled as being a soft player that plays poor defensive hockey. Generally the opinion on him is that he doesn't back check, floats around in the defensive zone and only focuses on the offensive side of his game.
Usually to win a hockey game one team must out shoot their opponent while limiting their shots against. However, this style of play doesn't work well when your goaltenders are letting 10% of shots into your net. This, unfortunately, is what the Leafs net-minders seem to be doing.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Kessel is going to be up for any Selke awards soon but what I am going to tell you is that he is nowhere near as bad defensively as fans think he is, and I have some numbers to prove it.
Follow me over the jump for details.
Kessel has been evolving, since he came to Toronto, into a player that can put the puck on net more then the other team's top lines. Last year he faced the toughest competition that he had seen so far (0.569 Corsi QoC). He didn't fare as well as you might hope though (-6.55 Corsi ON).
The Leafs decided to continue testing Kessel against tough competition this year (0.637 Corsi QoC) and he saw a big improvement in his possession metrics (0.31 Corsi ON). Kessel has the highest Corsi QoC out of the top five point getters this year, adding to his celebrity.
Last year, Coach Ron Wilson threw him to the wolves, marking the biggest jump in Corsi QoC he had seen in his career. This would explain his disappointing Corsi ON number as he was likely adapting to the increase in competition.
Unfortunately, playing against tough competition means that Kessel is going to see a lot of players that are around his skill level. This means that they are going to be able to dominate play at times as well, resulting in shots on goal.
Kessel's plus/minus is not great, in fact it hasn't been great since Brian Burke traded for him and I think I found the reason for it! Phil Kessel has been playing in front of very, very poor goaltending in Toronto (Vesa Toskala, Curtis Joseph, Jonas Gustavsson to name a few). In his first year as a Maple Leaf he saw a 52 point drop off from the On-Ice Sv% he saw the year before in Boston.
Lets take a look at what Kessel's plus/minus- would look like this year with league average goaltending behind him:
That is why (for all of you that still think plus/minus is a relevant stat) that you should take the plus/minus rating with a grain of salt. Phil Kessel would all of a sudden have a very sexy plus/minus rating with a good goaltender behind him. I like to think the media and fans would be saying things like this about his defensive game: "Kessel becomes defensive dynamo, all while maintaining a point-per-game pace!"
Phil isn't close to being the worst defensively in the small group of point-per-game forwards that we have this year. In fact I would argue he might be one of the better forwards defensively among the top ten. For example: James Neal gets nearly 10% more offensive zone starts then Kessel does but finishes with about the same as him, all of this while playing against much weaker competition (-0.638 Corsi QoC).
It's the age long problem fans have with their star players. Offensively gifted players are not great in their own zone (obviously Datsyuk is an exception). This is likely because throughout their minor and junior careers they were so much better then the other players they simply had the puck on their sticks at all times leaving no time to work on their defense.
So, I'll say it again: Phil Kessel isn't going to win a Selke in this lifetime. He is going to have giveaways that lead to ugly two on ones and he's probably going to look a little lost in the defensive zone sometimes. However, he is going to score a ton of goals and I'll bet he will continue to get better in his own zone, like he has been doing since coming to Toronto.

And he scoes goals, too!
March 22 2012, 08:36AM
@A. Bates
So many more goals. I wonder if his numbers have changed since Carlyle took over. Seems as though he has been using either Grabbo or the Steckel line against top-comp. Also losing Lupul might explain the shift as well.

Seurat 'washed his eyes' during his regular summer trips to the Normandy coast. In 1888 he travelled to the fishing village of Port-en-Bessin. Whereas in previous years he had trekked long distances to find suitable motifs to refresh his creative vision, at Port-en-Bessin he made an 'inventory' of the harbour, plotting it from different angles.1 This painting is, in effect, the centre of Seurat's inventory, looking east, down into the port. Two other versions look west up to the cliffs, and out from the coast, while three others feature locations within the harbour itself.2 These are some of Seurat's most marvellously constructed works, in which he delights in the asymmetrical, enclosed and interlocking forms of the sails, quays, cliffs and surrounding vegetation.
In Port-en-Bessin at high tide, the main part of the canvas is the sea—fringed by the cliffs and coastal grasses—and sky. The straight lines of the horizon, the eastern arm of the breakwater and the quay are interrupted by masts with their billowing sails, and the flag poles in the port. The curves of the sails are mimicked by the untidy stalks of grass along the edge of the cliff. Angular buildings, rendered in mottled white and greyish lavender, contrast with the undulating diagonals of the geological features. A wisp of smoke snakes up from a chimney at the extreme right; mirrored by the road which winds up the far cliff, a frequent device in Seurat's work. The subtle geometry and sparkling late morning light modulate the abandoned, melancholy impression of this place seemingly emptied of any human presence. There are echoes, too, of earlier compositions: the negative space of the harbour in this work, if we were to rotate the canvas, is the same shape as Le Bec du Hoc, Grandcamp 1885, about twenty kilometres further west along the coast, and the site of Seurat's first summer campaign.3
From a distance, this painting is ostensibly naturalistic but on closer inspection it is encrusted with thousands of tiny painted dots organised in complementary pairs. Seurat creates this effect through a series of layered 'scrims' of paint; the water is a subtle combination of yellows, greens and blues on a white ground. For the grassy cliffs, Seurat has overlaid touches of blue, orange and pink on top of broader strokes of yellow-green to create the dominant tone. The greater range of hues in the foreground make us more conscious of the separate colours.4 Seurat uses red and blue to build the painted border of the painting, and then continues the dots onto the actual picture frame, breaking down the traditional demarcation between the painting and the wall on which it is displayed.

Small-cap manager Jim Oberweis discusses the three main global small-cap regions, and explains which ones are his favorites now.
What's happening in global small caps? We're here with Jim Oberweis, who is going to tell us what's really going on beyond US shores.
Sure. I think you can divide the world into three components—it's called North America, Europe, and Asia. I think they're all in very different stages.
Europe, I think, continues to be bogged down by economic macro problems and really political problems of aligned leaders all in one space. Things are getting a little better than they were. I think there is still a lot of dust that needs to be settled.
Asia? Asia is slowing mostly because of Europe. About 25% of China's economy stems from exports to Europe. However, it's fully discounted stock prices right now. Valuations in China for small-cap Chinese companies are lower than they were in 2008. It's the only market in the world where we're seeing that right now.
We're very enthusiastic about China, just because stocks are so cheap and that the policies that slowed the Chinese economy besides slower exports like rising interest rates and tighter credit are now being reversed. Interest rates are being decreased and credit is being loosened. That should kick in in 2013. I think it will drive valuations for Chinese equities substantially higher.
In the Asia space, is there any interest on your part in Japan, where they're starting to rebuild after the tsunami and the nuclear incident?
Japanese small caps have been driving our Overweight Opportunities Fund this year. It's actually been a really good place to be. It's been a good place for a couple of reasons.
- Because some of the factors with regard to the economy doing OK despite really lackluster expectations;
- Because valuations were so low.
If you're going to ask me where I would park money for the next decade, it would be in China. China has market opportunities that are really unprecedented in areas like smartphone development, where only a small percentage of the population right now has smartphones.
It's a major issue with the government, and disposable income is rising. The companies that's strong in that space are actually pretty well positioned.

The Devil And John Randolph
How a statesman's strange letter settled a court fight over a will
August 1956 | Volume 7, Issue 5
One day during the winter of 1831-32, an excited John Randolph of Roanoke sat at his desk inside the lonely plantation house in Charlotte County, Virginia, and began to write a letter. With his quill, he set down five jerky sentences, folded and sealed the paper, and on the Iront scrawled this address:
To the Honorable Waller Holladay, Esquire, of the county of Spotsylvania, of the State of Virginia, of the United States of America, of the Western Hemisphere, of the Globe.
To Americans of the first quarter of the Nineteenth Century, John Randolph was a fascinating figure. A brilliant speaker, he had first matched oratory with the aged Patrick Henry in the campaign of 1799. As a member of Congress, he was noted for his biting invective. It was Randolph who labeled Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun the "War Hawks," Randolph who called northern supporters of the Missouri Compromise "Doughfaces," and Randolph who, as a senator, provoked a duel with Henry Clay by describing the Adams Administration as a coalition of the "puritan with the black-leg." He suffered from insomnia, rheumatism, stomach disorders, and probably died of tuberculosis. And sometime alter 1810 when he moved to Roanoke Plantation (and adopted the appendage "of Roanoke" to distinguish himself from a kinsman known as "Possum John") people who knew this cadaverous, testy Virginian began to wonder if perhaps he wasn't perilously close to the border of insanity.
The marked eccentricities in speech and manner which they noted were even more pronounced upon his return from an abortive mission as minister to Russia in 1830. He insulted his friends. He struck oil three wills and four codicils that set the stage for a lawsuit impressive even in Virginia annals. And he wrote letters that were remarkably strange, to say the least.
Such a message was the one addressed to Waller Holladay, Esquire. One of those anonymous old Virginia gentlemen about whom Thomas Nelson Page wrote so nostalgically, Holladay was a healthy, handsome squire who preferred to live placidly at Prospect Hill, his Spotsylvania County homestead. Most of the time he succeeded in doing so, enjoying the good life and begetting thirteen children; but occasionally, as it must to all such substantial persons, public demands intruded. One of these was the necessity of attending, as delegate, the celebrity-studded constitutional convention of Virginia in 1829-30. Jt was there that he first met John Randolph.
In line with his retiring ways Waller Holladay was, quite unlike Randolph, a most inconspicuous member of the convention. But inconspicuous or not, he had made a hit with John Randolph. Some time alter the convention had passed into history that gentleman, whose plantation of Roanoke was less than 150 miles from Prospect Hill, sent Squire Holladay the letter bearing the hemispheric address shown above.
The date was January, 1832, when Randolph had just executed a third will revoking various earlier testamentary dispositions. Waller Holladay did not know this, of course. He did know that the letter he was reading was written by an insane man. So, "hoping the aberration was but temporary, he did not answer the letter, but locked it up in his desk and told no one that he had received such a letter." So the matter stood for more than a year.
In May of 1833 Randolph died in Philadelphia, and in keeping with his request, he was buried at Roanoke with his lace to the west—so he could keep an eye on Henry day. Several years later there arrived at Prospect Hill one John Randolph Bryan. He had discovered from Judge William Leigh, Randolph's executor, that on the very day Randolph had made his third will, he had also dashed oit a note to Mr. Holladay and given it to fudge Leigh to mail. Since Mr. Kryan was striving to break this will, and since he was convinced that the said letter would reveal its author as demented, would Mr. Holladay let him see it?
What Mr. Holladay did was to remove the letter Irom its place of security, hand it to his son Alexander Richmond Holladay, and have that youth take it straight to Petersburg, where the lawyers were almost erupting into a barn dance over the impressive Randolph estate. In later years Alexander Holladay recounted the incident to his own son, who writes: "He said the whole scene was fresh in his memory, that, though lasting but a minute or two, it was very im pressive. The letter was read; and alter a second's pause the venerable judge … said in effect, 'This evidence leaves no room for contest, and I presume no one can think it necessary to carry these proceedings further'. And so the great court battle over the Randolph will of 1832 came to its end in a moment."

Do you know how much you are spending on electricity each month? Maybe you know about how much your bill is each month, but are you actually aware of your rate per kilowatt hour? A year ago this week, David told me about www.powertochoose.org. It is a simple site where anyone can go and see which electric provider has the lowest rate.
At the time, Mac and I had an account with Reliant Energy. We had been using them for about three years. I called Reliant to find out our current rate and was told it was approximately $0.16/kilowatt. Our plan was on a month to month term because our one year contract had been up years prior. Because our plan was now month to month, we would not be charged a cancellation fee. So I got on www.powertochoose.org and found a new plan through Pennywise Energy with a $0.10/kilowatt. I signed up for a 12 month, fixed rate plan. I set a reminder in my calendar for one year from that week to check back on the site to see if I could get a better rate.
This week I went back through the same process. I am now a Amigo Energy customer with a 12 month fixed plan for $.086/kilowatt. Plus 11.5% of my energy comes from renewable souces where as with Pennywise I was using 0% renewable energy. This took a total of about 20 minutes.
The hardest part about this process if to remind yourself in a year to check again. So your best bet is to put it in your calendar NOW!
Here's how you can do the same thing:
1. Call you current provider to see what type of plan you are on (month to month or under a set contract), your rate, and if there is a cancellation fee.
2. Go to www.powertochoose.org
3. Click on Available Offers.
4. Scroll through the list looking for the lowest rate for a 12 month, fixed plan.
5. If renewable energy is important to you, you can see what percentage of each companies energy comes from renewable sources.
6. Click on the terms and make sure you understand their terms and conditions.
7. Once you have found the best option, click on Sign Up and it will take you to their site.
8. Spend about 10 minutes filling in your address, etc and they will switch it over for you on the date you choose.
9. Set up auto billing at this time too! (Amigo Energy allowed me to do this. I am not sure about all the other companies.)
10. Done. No need to cancel with your previous provider. Your new company will handle the switch.
Easy, huh? Ready, set, save!

Donor recipients hope to inspire others to donate
More than 117,000 people currently on organ donor waiting list
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - April is Donate Life Month and one Santa Barbara City College student and a fellow organ recipient want to inspire people to become donors by sharing their stories.
Lorena Lopez, 23, received a kidney transplant two years ago from a 17-month-old baby. The same child saved six other people as well.
More than a decade ago, Joe Darga received a heart from a 47-year-old man. He said getting the transplant was the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to him.
Lopez and Darga set up a Donate Life table at City College hoping to get students to become organ donors.
"There is nothing more wonderful than somebody passing life on to you and that's what that man did, he kind of basically said, 'Here, I can't use this anymore, here's my heart, I want you to live.' I get emotional just thinking about it," said Darga, holding back tears.
"There's really no words I can express how thankful I am for my donor and donor family. They truly changed my life. I'm able to do things that a normal 23-year-old girl should be able to do," said Lopez with a smile.
Lopez wears a locket with her donor's picture on it every day.
Currently there are more than 117,000 people on the waiting list for an organ.

Ready For The Season Opener
by Howard Simon
posted Sep 8 2012 12:00AM
You've been waiting for this day since March right? Ever since the Bills stunned the NFL by signing Mario Williams to the largest contract for a defensive player, you probably began your own countdown clock.
That stunning pickup, coming on the heels of Stevie Johnson re-signing and followed by the addition of Mark Anderson to go along with the drafting of perhaps the Bills shutdown cornerback(Stephon Gilmore) and starting left tackle(Cordy Glenn) made for the most exciting off season in quite some time.
Come 1:00 on Sunday we begin to see exactly how much better the 2012 Bills might be and the journey begins on the road to what Bills fans hope will be the ending of a 12 year playoff drought. The opener against the Jets brings a number of intriguing story lines along with it.
If the Bills are going to earn one of the coveted six spots in the AFC playoffs, the Jets are one of the teams they will have to beat out and its a franchise that seems to be going backwards while the Bills are believed to be on the way up.
Buffalo has lost its last five meetings to Gang Green and in some of those have been kicked around pretty good. To make the playoffs you need to win games obviously but winning inside your division is very important as are victories on enemy turf. The Bills were awful in both of those areas last season, going 1-5 against AFC East foes and 1-7 on the road.
After hearing about a vanilla gameplan all through the pre-season, its time to see what strides the Bills defense has made after a 2011 season that was one of the worst by a defense in Bills history.
Will the Bills be able to generate a consistent pass rush? How about doing that when only using four guys?
Mario Williams should pay immediate dividends as he faces an undrafted free agent in Jets right tackle Austin Howard.
An improved pass rush should help the secondary as will the presence of rookie cornerback Stephon Gilmore. I'm excited to see what the Bills first round pick can do and whether or not he can develop into an elite, shutdown corner.
Defensive Coordinator Dave Wannstedt says Gilmore's ball skills and his hand-eye coordination when the ball is in the air are as good as any cornerback he's ever coached.
As much time as we spend focusing on the pass rush, the run defense was the most atrocious part of the 2011 Bills. Defensive co-captain George Wilson says the first goal of the defense this season is to stop the run. The opener will provide a good test since Rex Ryan wants the Jets to return to their old "ground and pound" ways. New York did exactly that against the Bills in 2009 and 2010, averaging more than 200 yards rushing over four games.
As far as the offense is concerned, we begin to see whether or not the hiring of quarterbacks coach David Lee and his work with Ryan Fitzpatrick on technique and mechanics will mean a more accurate signal caller. Fitzpatrick has completed just 49% of his passes against Ryan's Jets teams.
Hopefully Fitzpatrick will be upright most of the day against what should turn out to be one of the top 5 defenses in the NFL. The Jets utilize an aggressive, blitzing gameplan(including former Bill Aaron Maybin) and the last time we saw the Bills offensive line in extensive action, Fitzpatrick was taking a pounding from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Which is one reason why Chan Gailey should lean more on the running game this season. I think that is clearly the strength of the offense with Fred Jackson, who makes this offense go, and C.J. Spiller who finally showed signs of why the Bills thought he was worth a high first round pick. Using the spread formations has helped open up the field for the running game to be more effective.
Who knows how healthy Stevie Johnson is but his matchup with Darrelle Revis is certainly one of the keys in this game. Perhaps for the first time in his NFL career, Revis spent the days leading up to a game answering questions about whether an opposing receiver had actually gotten into his head, based on Johnson's relative success last season against the best corner in the NFL.
Chan Gailey has said he wants Fitzpatrick to throw a deep ball once every quarter this season. Enter rookie T.J. Graham with his blazing speed. One of the most memorable plays of the pre-season was Graham running under a bomb from Vince Young. Graham seems to have come along quicker than expected in terms of his knowledge of the offense. I'm interested to see how many times he will be out on the field and whether or not the third round pick has earned the trust of Fitzpatrick yet.
Don't forget about Scott Chandler who was a revelation at tight end last season. The question is what can he do for an encore?
A quick note on special teams. The Bills kept John Potter as their kickoff specialist and this game had to be one of the reasons. The Jets Joe McKnight averaged a franchise record 31 yards a return last season so Potter can make an impact in his NFL debut by keeping McKnight from getting his hands on the ball and leaving the Jets with drive starts at the 20 yard line.

I'm building a Nefsokar force to try out Warlord. I'm hoping to be able to find someone up at the Asylum to walk me through the rules on August 1st (the first weekend I have available). Here's what I have available at the moment. What kind of reasonable small force could be created from the following figures? What should I consider adding to fill in the gaps?

August 1st at the Asylum, you will see a whole slew of people playing Warlord. In fact I am hosting a Second Edition Release Party tournament up there. Since I am there to be referee and not play, I should be able to spend some time with you and giving a demo of the mechanics.
My suggestion is to wait til then to make any more purchases.
Bring what you have and I can let you borrow some, and we'll get you squared away.

Ooh, that's a good one. I could paint up his flesh the same way I do the constructs in my Nefsokar army. I may even grind some gashes like cracked stone. I don't know why but the Reborn just doesn't do it for me. I can't see anything like that being any good at fighting.
In other news, how about Nefsokar 2.0?? I think this may be what prompts me to finally buy an all cavalry army. There's just too much goodness in the new SA's for the Khamsin horse. Leap?? So good! Really solves alot of the issues that used to surround cavalry. You really can use your speed to get anywhere you want.

Any Mounted leader with Atifa as an elite. Fill the troop out with at least 3 more Mounted models.
Your leader and three mounted models charge into the enemy line. Atifa follows. Your four "up front" models should be grouped in pairs, with a sliver of open table between both pairs. Atifa lines up right behind that sliver and doesn't quite come into b2b with the rear of the two center most cavaliers. Hopefully I'm describing this well.
Now the four front line cavaliers make their attacks. Huzzah to Rage for getting you that extra MAV, especially on the models with First Strike (you did take some Lancers right?)
You probably did some damage, probably took some shots in return. Such are the fortunes of war. What can be practically guaranteed is that your opponent is salivating at the thought of your highly useful Cavalry models parked right next to his army. He was bummed you had them because you could strike him wherever you wanted. But now that you have, he's pumped about swarming them and pulling your Khamsin off their horses and beating them silly.
But you won't have any of that, will you? Nope! Atifa is sitting right behind the four riders and she still has an action left. Cast Burst of Speed in the small gap between the front of her base and the sliver of room between the two pairs of cavaliers. The spell bursts in a 3" AOE giving you 1.5" in all directions - that covers Atifa and all 4 cavaliers (1" for the close model, and 1/2" for the far model on either side). You've now got a free movement action that all five models can take*. That puts you 10" away from the enemy line. Still well within your own charge range, but outside of most model's charge range so you're relatively safe.
Fear the Dunes, interlopers! And stay out of our tombs!
*note that you do not get the Run bonus from this sequence. Charge actions bring you into b2b with an enemy, and you used a Charge as the first action. The Run action specifically says you can only use it in a turn in which a Move action has already been conducted. Since Move is not Charge, you don't get to Run. Additionally, the spell Burst of Speed grants a Move action, not a Run action. Just figured I'd put this thought process on here because as i was thinking of the trick I was counting the Run bonus, so others may want to take that bonus as well.

Skip to comments.Larry Kudlow: Dont Blame Boehner. Plan B was the least-bad option with this President and Senate.
Posted on 12/21/2012 3:13:14 PM PST by SeekAndFind
When you lose an election you get frustrated. When youre sitting in a subpar 2 percent economy, and are faced with tax hikes rather than marginal rate reductions, you get even more frustrated. And when youre staring at $47 trillion in spending over the next ten years, and $8.6 trillion in deficits, your frustration levels climb even higher.
These are among the frustrations that led a number of House Republicans to pull back from Speaker John Boehners so-called Plan B. Nobody looked good on the Republican side when Thursday nights vote fell through. But you have to understand their frustrations. Losing an election is no fun.
I dont blame John Boehner. His idea is the best compromise currently available. Or put another way, its the least-bad option out there. It was even backed by Paul Ryan and Grover Norquist.
There was the million-dollar threshold for letting the top tax rate expire and moving it back to 39.6 percent. All the other Bush tax rates remained the same. Capital gains and dividends would rise from 15 percent to only 20 percent. The estate tax would go to 35 percent, not 55 percent. And everything would be made permanent, unless and until real flat-tax reform by lowering rates and broadening the base took place.
No, there were not enough spending cuts in Plan B. But a couple hundred billion in spending cuts were inserted at the last minute.
Boehner figured that if the House passed Plan B, it could put pressure on President Obama and the Senate Democrats to raise taxes less and cut spending more. A couple dozen House conservatives wouldnt buy it. I understand that. But I still think Boehner was on a noble mission in very difficult post-election circumstances.
The demise of Plan B almost certainly will prolong the fiscal-cliff negotiations, which will spill over into the new year. But I still believe this is a game where all the players are bluffing. Washington lawmakers will not risk a recession by allowing all the Bush tax cuts to expire, thus pulling $500 billion out of the economy, and by rolling back important economic-growth incentives. I just dont believe it.
And if the negotiations go well into January, the Treasury Department and the IRS can stall any changes in withholding rates. Then a deal can be worked out that will extend the middle-class tax cuts up to a threshold of $250,000 to $400,000. Patching the AMT will be thrown in there, too. So will the so called doc-reimbursement fix, some kind of unemployment insurance, and some small leftover sequester spending cuts.
This will make no dent in our spending, borrowing, and debt problem. But at least it will avert a recession.
For the Republicans, the sooner they can get out from under this mess, and move on to tax, spending, and entitlement reform, the better off theyll be. And for Heavens sake, lets finally cut the corporate tax rate. But for now, its time for a strategic retreat, as the economy teeters over the cliff.
One final thought: In a post January 1 scenario, after Washington has temporarily gone over the cliff and all the tax rates have gone up, any bill that restores the Bush tax cuts actually becomes a bill to cut tax rates, not raise them or stop them from rising. Thats a much better dynamic for the GOPs strategic retreat.
But alas, real reforms for taxes, spending, and entitlements, and real fiscal solvency, and real economic-growth prosperity, still seem very far away.
Larry Kudlow, NROs economics editor, is host of CNBCs The Kudlow Report and author of the daily web log, Kudlows Money Politic$.
...Conservatives don't DO tax increases and don't DO class warfare...FRIGGIN PERIOD!!!
Kissa mah ass!!!
Pass an 18% flat tax. Throw it out there and see what happens. Let the media get into the weeds of the details.
When they say that it will not reduce the deficit. Say that we are looking for leadership on reducing expenditures. Pose - What percentage of a person's income should go to taxes?
Hey the rich voted for Obama. They want their taxes raised. Let them have it good and hard. The public wants... it everyone wants it. For conservatives to fight this battle for folks who don't want their help is beyond stupid.
We're NOT in a recession NOW?
Who knew?
I'm always the last to know.
Plan B was bad, but rejecting it simply means a worse option will eventually pass through the House - it will just be done with mostly Democrat votes instead.
The problem with Boehner is that he is NOT part of the solution. He can' be... he is not equipped to be. I'm sure he has his talents, but leadership is not one; ability to dream up and then make bold strokes to fiscal health to attack the spending not his forte.
RE: Hey the rich voted for Obama.
Is there a reliable poll that tells us that?
RE: Were NOT in a recession NOW?
A recession is officially defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.
Our GDP growth might be very little, but it has not been negative for 2 years.
A new survey from Spectrem Group found that 68% of millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more) support raising taxes on those with $1 million or more in income. Fully 61% of those with net worths of $5 million or more support the tax on million-plus earners
Nothing is preventing these millionaires from sending more money to
The IRS. They can write and make a donation today if it makes them feel
Nothing is preventing these millionaires from sending more money to
The IRS. They can write and make a donation today if it makes them feel
Funny thing, when these m/billionaires DO give away their money, they don't show their faith in an all-wise federal government. Nope. The substitute their own selfish judgement of what constitutes a good use of their resources.
Fighting for the tax rates of a bunch of rich Obama voters makes as much sense as fighting for freedom in a Muslim country. They don't want our help and aren't worth the effort anyway.
RE: A new survey from Spectrem Group found that 68% of millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more) support raising taxes on those with $1 million or more in income.
What about those earning BELOW $1 Million in income (a huge number of small businessmen )?
RE: Your post...
Fully 61% of those with net worths of $5 million or more support the tax on million-plus earners
In this case, Boehner ought to submit PLAN C, Raise the rates of those making $5 Million or more. That is more in line with the survey results.
I think plan B is a million and up.
RE: I think plan B is a million and up.
I am not talking about PLAN B ( it is already dead ).
I am referring to the poll you referred to where 61% of those making $5 Million and up want taxes raised.
So, I say a PLAN C is in order, raising taxes for those making 5 Million and up ACCORDING TO THEIR WISHES.
And Boehner can refer to the poll you just showed in presenting that.
I propose plan D - tax those above $1M income based on net WORTH
Then watch the howling
It was a (<1M tax cut) trick to try to beat O at his own game. But it wasn't very well planned and the R party is totalty fractured and more interested in fighting each other than beating O. Boner is weak and slow but he has a no-win job so NO_ONE will challenge him.
One side cares about symbolic actions, like 33 symbolic repeals of O-care, the other side cares nothing for symbols as they are out to win and take it all, to get what they want.
So in 2015 and 2016 when Pelosi takes back the House and Reid gets back his 59 or 61 Obama will finish the job,.
Piss off Larry!
He failed to bring along the guys who vote on whatever deal he makes. He failed to get his message and plan out to the public. He's not a dictator. He's a poor leader.

I decided to buy a pair for myself. I was excited to oppen te box and then found that they do not fit at all!

CHICKASHA – Pushing the game back a day because of weather didn't seem to help out the Drovers on Friday night as both teams fell to Lubbock Christian.
The Drover women continued their conference struggles as they fell to the Lady Chaps 74-60 on Friday.
USAO came back strong in the second half, scoring as many points as LCU did, but the team was not able to overcome its opponent.
Sophomore Vernisha Moss had one of her best games at USAO as she scored 20 points and pulled in 12 rebounds. Aita Gueye was right behind her with 18 points.
The Drover women fall to 6-16 overall and 2-13 in conference play.
The Drover men rallied and challenged the Chapparrals in the middle of the second half despite having fallen quickly behind and having gone into halftime down by five.
The Drovers took the lead with 10 minutes left in the game. They held their lead for a few minutes before surrendering once again to the Chaps, who are third in the conference standings.
Thomas Peters made 10 of his shots on the night, coming out with 24 points for the Drovers. Phillip Harris followed with 14 and Sahlih Butts was the Drovers' highest rebounder.
The Drovers were defeated 82-70. They fall to 8-13 overall and 4-11 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
Both teams have a quick turnaround as they play their next home game Saturday afternoon against Wayland Baptist. It will be Western Day at the USAO Fieldhouse. Tip off is at 1 and 3 p.m.

Ship Weight:11.25 Servings:30 Dosage:4 Scoop(s) Flavor:Vanilla Prolab Nutrition - N Large II Vanilla - 10 lbs. Prolab Nutrition N Large2 - N-Large2 and In Charge You want to gain pounds of powerful mass. Not random weight-gain, mind you, but slabs of new, dense lean muscle. The problem is, no matter how hard you train, how much you eat, or what muscle-building supplements you use, nothing seems to work. Progress is at a standstill. In fact, adding just one more pound of body weight is starting to seem like an insurmountable task. Look, if what you're doing isn't working, it's time to switch tactics. It's time for PROLAB N-Large2. N-Large2 was specifically formulated to address the unique nutritional needs of hard-gainers. This is no typical mass gainer; this is a synergistic blend of dynamic, muscle mass-generating compounds. Each nutrient-dense serving of N-Large2 is loaded with 600 body-fueling calories, 52 grams of growth-inducing whey, plus fast and slow absorbing carbs for optimum post-workout glycogen replenishment. Experience your true mass-gaining potential with N-Large2. The Ultimate Muscle Mass Formula 52 Grams of Mass-Generating WPC-80 Grade Whey Protein Concentrate 24.5 Grams of Essential Amino Acids Per Serving Fast and Slow-Absorbing Carbs for Optimal Glycogen Replenishment N-Large2 is a powerful mass gaining support formula designed to promote size on the hardest gainers. This potent formula delivers more calories and protein, gram for gram, than out competition. Prolab put an emphasis on the amount of protein per serving since it is the essential nutrient that promotes muscle mass. Prolab use only cross flow, micro filtered, cold processed ion exchanged whey. This protein has a superior amino acid profile, an unbeatable bioavailability, is low in lactose and is instatized for easy mixing without a blender. You simply will not find a protein of this grade used in other weight gain formulas. This formula also contains a unique blend of carbohydrates to help fuel and support weight training. Fat, although shunned by some, is a highly concentrated energy source (double that of protein or carbohydrates). Fat is also a necessary component of all cell membranes, nerve covering, digestive secretions and most importantly, hormone production. A diet too low in fats may actually impair growth. For these reasons, small amounts of necessary dietary fat are contained in N-Large2. For best results, combine with a sensible diet and intense training program. Prolab Nutrition has given every aspect of formulation and quality, special consideration and care. Special attention has been given to ensure that you have selected the highest quality product available. Prolab Nutrition's N-Large is powerful mass gaining formula designed to pack size on the hardest gainers. What are the key benefits of these formulas? Prolab N-Large2 uses only high quality whey protein with superior bioavailability, is low in lactose and is instantized for easy mixing. Maltodextrin is an easily digested complex carbohydrate that can help restore glycogen stores in the muscle.† Fructose is a simple carb that can go quickly and directly to muscles for energy.

When you think of support groups, you probably don't think of meetings in a zoo. But when the Santa Barbara Pulmonary Hypertension Support Group decided to host a very special (and fun!) meeting for its one-year anniversary last August, it brought their patients to the city zoo for socializing and a special dinner. Since PH patients talk openly about their condition, the only "elephants in the room" at this meeting were, quite literally, the elephants in the zoo! How about THAT for a support group celebration?
The Santa Barbara PH Support Group held its inaugural meeting in August 2009, and the group is still going strong. Meetings take place every three months with 30–50 patients and caregivers at each meeting. The group not only provides time for socializing, but offers medical presentations with experts in the field. Topics include insurance issues, dealing with hospitalizations, managing nutrition and diet, considerations for oxygen therapy and exercise, managing stress, emergency situations and much more.
The Santa Barbara Support Group started when Dr. Jeffrey S. Sager moved to Santa Barbara and went into private practice at Santa Barbara Pulmonary Consultants. Patients asked him to start a PH support group, and he did. Dr. Sager helps with meeting planning, and the two support group leaders include Dr. Sager's nurse, Zoe Schultz, RN, MSN, and his wife, Dana. Even Dr. Sager's children, Dylan (age 9) and Taryn (age 7), are familiar faces at the meetings.
Thank you to Dr. Sager, Dana, Zoe and the entire group! For more information about the Santa Barbara Pulmonary Hypertension Support Group, visit the group website www.PHAssociation.org/SantaBarbaraGroup or contact the leaders by email at email@example.com.

The desert near Green River is the perfect environment to explore the world of rockets. The White Sands Missile Base in New Mexico used Green River as a testing ground in the 1960s and 70s with the Athena and other rockets being launched from the Green River Test Site. But rocket launching is not just a part of Green River's past it is part of their future, too, as modern rocket scientists (and their students) came to Green River to launch their creations near the river southeast of town. At a place near Crystal Geyser, the students and their mentors gathered in the 100 degree heat to construct and launch the rockets.
Three teams of students, one from Utah State University, one from Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., and the final one from the Milwaukee School of Engineering in Wisconsin, came to the Utah desert to show their stuff. On hand to observe the competition were six judges from the aerospace industry and the world of academia.
These judges job is to rate each team on their projects and determine the winner of the Second Annual Intercollegiate Rocket Launch Competition. Before the launch competition began, the teams were required to send the judges an 11 page paper summarizing their rocket design. They must also give a 45 minute oral presentation summarizing their rocket design. This oral presentation took place at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum meeting room.
The Environmental Sounding Rocket Association, in conjunction with Alliance Technical Systems (formerly Thiokol) sponsor the competition for budding engineers to display their talents. Many aerospace engineers come out to the competition to watch and take notes on the quality of engineers being turned out by the universities. The future of the aerospace industry will be in the hands of the graduates of today.
At the launch site, the teams construct their rockets with the aim of launching it and its 10 pound payload 10,000 feet in the air. In addition to the successful launch, the team is required to recover the rocket and it must be in reusable condition. The payload must not be harmed and recoverable also. Maximum points are given to the team whose rocket reaches exactly 10,000 feet in altitude.
A barometric altimeter is installed in the rocket to produce a continuous readout of altitude which allows the team on the ground to know the exact height reached by the rocket. Within one hour of the recovery of the rocket, the team must submit a printout of the altitude to the judges.
Paul Mueller, an assistant professor USU, said, "This competition is for students to show what they can do. This is the second annual competition and Green River has been good to us. We want this competition to grow and have many more teams. An observation team is here from UCLA with plans to compete in next year's contest."
Members of the team from Utah State University were: Wade Siddoway, Mike Hammond, Jim Sanders and Shannon Eilers. The team from Arizona State was: James Villarreal, Mark Sipperly, Jacob Dennis and Tom Villarreal. Representing the Milwaukee School of Engineering were: Brian VanRoy, Graham Motzing, Joe Nelson, Sarah Johnson and Matt Woodruff. The safety person for the competition was Ralph Haycock, an adjunct professor from USU.
First place: Milwaukee School of Engineering, with rocket that reached approximately 10,900 feet with fully functional payload and recovered flawlessly
Second place: Arizona State University
Third place: Utah State University
Jim Furfaro Award for Technical Excellence (best paper, presentation, student design, and student knowledge and professionalism): Arizona State University. This award is named in memory of Jim Furfaro, an aerospace engineer at ATK, judge at last year's competition, and great supporter of student rocket projects who tragically died in an auto accident near Logan in 2006.

Versatile Shoe, needs break-in period
"I love this boot! It did take a couple of wears to break-in. The leather is a little stiff around the ankle and takes 3-4 moderate wears until it starts to soften up for a full days wear. Very stylist and I wear these with dress pants and still can dress up a pair of jeans with a button-down, or t-shirt and jacket. One of my favorite pairs of shoes."

Dear Editor,
I think it's a shame the way the DWR treats the senior citizens.
Why does our Division of Wildlife Resources treat Utah residents the way they do? I didn't know that the DWR was supposed to make money such as a hunting tag lottery.
I have done comparisons from the surrounding states and their rates for senior citizens fishing license fees: Idaho-$4.50, Colorado-$10.25, Wyoming- $5, Nevada-$5 plus a trout stamp for $5 to total $10, New Mexico-$5, and Utah charges seniors $21.
I want to know why this state's DWR is so unfair to seniors.
