Off the Beaten Path
Either "horse-for-course" or guys off the radar
Jonathan Byrd: He's coming off wrist surgery from last year and has only played four events in 2013. He fired his best round of his comeback in the second round last weekend before being cut. He returns to the place where he was P2 to Glover in 2011, T5 in 2009 and T9 last year.
Martin Laird: I'm going with the "D.A. Points" theory on this one. He played well at a long, demanding course at Valero and will see some of the same again this week. He fired three rounds under par here last year.
Kyle Stanley: High-risk, high-reward look here as Stanley looked like early 2012 Stanley last week in New Orleans. He's played six rounds here and five of them have been par or better. He hits it a mile but it will be the putter that will make the difference.
Ross Fisher: He has five top 25s in eight tries. His worst finish is T38. Horse-for-course and hits it a mile as well.
Vijay Singh: Sure, he's in his 50s. Sure, he's dealing with that entire "Deer Antler Spray" issue. He's the 2005 champion to boot.
Matt Jones: In his last two starts here he's finished T21 and T7. He's quietly having a decent 2013 as he's made nine of 11 cuts.
Ken Duke: He's made five straight cuts here and four of his last five on TOUR with his worst finish being T31. He was a nice compliment last week on my GC team Group 3 (T21).
Brian Davis: He's made five of his last six at Quail Hollow including T9 and T16 the last two years. He's also made his last four cuts on TOUR.
Take It Deep
Long shots
Jordan Spieth: With so many big players in this week, he'll calmly slip under the radar and bounce back after his MC last week. His bogey-free 69 on Friday in New Orleans should be a nice springboard for this week.
Josh Teater: He's 27th in ball-striking and 33rd in putting. He has no problem making birdies.
Richard H. Lee: T21, T9 and T13 in his last three. Yes, please.
Steve LeBrun: T21, T18 and T37 in his last three so he's playing pretty well in April.
Angel Cabrera: I couldn't resist after as well as he played at the Masters and winning at his home course in Argentina.
Pack Lightly
Robert Allenby: Copy and Paste.
Charles Howell III: He has one top 25 in 10 career starts.
Hunter Mahan: His best finish here in nine starts is T16. He's MC, MC and 91st in his last three starts. I'll wait for his slump to pass.
Zach Johnson: All or nothing here but his 2013 form pushes me away. His best full-field finish in 10 events is T23. I'll wait until next week or Colonial.

History Lessons
This is the 11th edition of the Wells Fargo Championship. There have been 10 different winners.
Half of those 10 winners have won in a playoff. I'm not good at math but this would suggest that there is a 50-50 chance of a playoff again this year…
Only Anthony Kim (2008) and Rickie Fowler have made Quail Hollow Club the site of their first victory on TOUR.
Six of the 10 winners at WFC have won majors in their careers.
There have been 18 tournaments this season. After Americans won the first 14, the rest of the world, Scotland, Australia and Northern Ireland, have won the next three in a row. That streak came to an end in New Orleans as the USA is back in business.
The winners on TOUR have been Johnson (28), Henley (24), Gay (41), Woods THRICE (37), Mickelson (42), Snedeker (32), Merrick (30) Kuchar (34),Thompson, M (27) Brown (29), Streelman (34), Points (36), Laird (30), Scott (32), G-Mac (33) and Horschel (26) last week. The young folks (30 and younger) now have seven victories; the 30-somethings have nine victories, and the "old folks" (40 and up) have their two wins.
Rank and File
As of Monday morning, 21 of the top 50 in the OWGR are playing this week.
Of Course
Quail Hollow Club, located just outside Charlotte, N.C., hosts this tournament for the 11th time. The course was built in the early 60s and was remodeled by Tom Fazio in the late 90s. The first year of this tournament was 2003 when David Toms fired 278 (10-under) to win. Only Sean O'Hair (279) has gone higher in victory. Anthony Kim's 272 in 2008 is the tournament record.
Quail Hollow Club boast the hardest three-hole finish two of the last three years yet only ranks at the midway point of the hardest courses on TOUR (25 hardest of 49 played in 2012). This makes sense when you realize that Kim, O'Hair, McIlroy and Fowler weren't exactly seasoned veterans on TOUR when they won here. The averaging winning score here is just a hair under 13-under par so players will have to make hay on the first 15 holes so they can breathe easy on the final three. Good luck with that. No. 16 plays uphill to 480 yards. No. 17 is a 200-yard carry over with water surrounding almost the entire green but they moved the tee box to an easier location last year. And just to top it off, No. 18 has a creek running through it just to make you think a little bit harder about that final tee shot and approach shot. Not many places to leave it!
Looking at the list of winners, Toms, Singh, Furyk, Woods, O'Hair, McIlroy, Glover and Fowler, the one thing that stands out is ball-striking. Sure, they had to hole putts as well, but these guys keep it in play and hit tons of GIR. The rough will not be a huge deal. Last year on Sunday Rory McIlroy ( 5 of 14) and D.A. Points (6 of 14) couldn't find the fairway but hit 14 of 18 (T6) and 15 of 18 (1st) greens respectively to join Fowler in the playoff. Fowler hit 11 of 14 fairways that same Sunday to lead the field.
The course is lush and green and has two new greens on Nos. 8 and 10 that were replaced less than two weeks ago. When they return here next year, all 18 greens will have their bentgrass replaced with Bermudagrass to get ready for the PGA Championship in 2017. For more course changes, please read Rob Bolton's Power Rankings at pgatour.com. Confidence and ball-striking is a must this week. Players that have been playing well will factor as will the "old guard" of the world's elite.
Let see who's going to factor this week.
Top 10, Plus One
Rory McIlroy: In 17 rounds in 2013 he has played exactly three of them over par and that includes 79 on Saturday at the Masters that led to T25. Gamers get frustrated with McIlroy because he's not that automatic top 10 like Tiger Woods was in his prime. Get over it. There's only one Tiger and one Rory so deal. McIlroy showed up here last year after posting a T40 at Augusta and finished P2 to Rickie Fowler. He shot a Sunday 62 in his victory here in 2010. On a similar, long, challenging layout at Valero he was second to Martin Laird.
Webb Simpson: After missing the cut in his last two events, Simpson decided that he needed to find his love for the game again. He started playing practice rounds with college kids who would just pick a target and hit it. This freed his swing up and the results at Harbour Town were pretty good as he fell in a playoff to Graeme McDowell when his unlucky birdie putt blew away. He credits his wife with reinforcing his belief that he can win and he was THIS close to doing so last week. It won't hurt that he's playing his home course this week either. He finished fourth here last year.
Nick Watney: He's made seven cuts on the bounce and is right on the precipice of breaking out. He shot four straight 69s last week in New Orleans to finish T15 and that was with a double on the back nine on Sunday. Ball-strikers do well here and he fits that description. He's made seven of eight cuts at Quail Hollow and six of those have been T24 or better including last year's solo eighth.
Rickie Fowler: The defending champion quite likes it around here as he's finished WIN, T16 and sixth in his only three starts over the last three years. He has only one round over par and that was his first round three years ago. He only made three bogeys on the weekend in New Orleans and his accurate driver will help put him in excellent position here for a fourth year in a row.
Lee Westwood: He blasted the weekend here last year (68-66) to jump into a T5 so he's definitely on the radar this week. He was T10 at SHO and T8 at Augusta, two places where he is horse-for-course. If last year in an indication, he'll add this place to his list of places he enjoys playing. He's also surprisingly seventh in scrambling and has made 12 cuts in a row so that won't hurt either.
Bill Haas: He's made nine cuts in a row and has been playing very solid golf in 2013. Haas ranks eighth in GIR and has five top 10 finishes to co-lead the TOUR. In five weekends he's played in nine tries, Haas has finished fourth and T4 twice and hasn't finished outside the top 30.
Dustin Johnson: WD ON WEDNESDAY MORNING
D.A. Points: Time to hop on board! After winning in Houston and finishing second in New Orleans, Points returns to Charlotte where Rickie Fowler knocked him and Rory McIlroy out the playoff last year. He showed last year that he can find GIR from places other than the fairway and that helps around these parts. He's hot and confident and that's what we look for on a week-to-week basis!
Lucas Glover: The 2011 champion at Quail Hollow has also added T22 and T2 in the last four years though he was MC last year. He's striping it right now and even though he didn't win last week, he's gotten another taste of being near the winner's circle. The only thing missing in his "comeback" tour is a victory as he's pegged top fives at Honda and Zurich. He'll give himself plenty of chances with as well as he strikes the ball. Come on the putter! Please be aware that his wife is due any moment with their first child. He remarked last weekend that he has no problem walking off the course to be with her for this special event. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Bubba Watson: I'm sorry I love Watson. He's inconsistently consistent and can bust it any week. After his "scared" round of 73 to open last week, he backed it up with 65. After his even par round on Saturday, he went low again with 66. I wish I would have stuck with him in the Yahoo! game on Sunday last week. I would have had a monster…He's made his last three cuts here and that includes T2 in 2009. He did not play here last year.
Phil Mickelson: Here he is again as "plus one". As with most places he plays, his course history is off the charts. In nine events, he's been T9 or better SIX times. You can't leave him off but you cannot ignore that he didn't fire at the Masters. That's Mickelson in a nutshell, Phrankenwood or not.
Don't Overlook
Jimmy Walker: Another familiar name to this column and there are reasons why! Long off the tee? Check. He's 26th in GIR and 21st in strokes gained-putting. He's fourth in scoring average. He's played on 20 consecutive weekends. He has 4 top 25s and four top 10s. He's essentially the 2013 Bo Van Pelt and that's a compliment.
Sergio Garcia: He's six of seven in Charlotte which includes T2 in 2005. He's six of six this season on TOUR and his worst finish was T13 in stroke play if you don't count the week he WD when I had him in the one-and-done at Bay Hill. I'm not bitter or anything…
Padraig Harrington: He's Phil Mickelson Light of Ireland. He's top 10 or bust. His last two appearances in Charlotte have seen him finish T9 (2011) and T7 (2010). After posting T9 his first tournament this year he went MC, MC. He racked up aT10 at SHO but then he no-showed at Augusta with 75-78. Figured it out yet? Me neither.
Ian Poulter: After beginning the season T9 and fourth, Poulter hasn't been living up to gamer's expectations. He's fired final rounds of 75 at Doral and 75 at Bay Hill to knock him out of possible top 10s and he didn't fire at the Masters. Yet, his putting and grit can pull him through if things aren't going well. According to his Twitter feed, he's been in the Bahamas practicing as he prepares for this WFC/PLAYERS double over the next two weeks. He was fifth here in 2009 in his last appearance.
Chris Kirk: In his last four events on TOUR he's finished T21, T30, T22 and T16. His worst round over that stretch is 73. Once. When you make as many putts as he does, you tend to hang around. He's already made more cash this year than he did in all of 2012. He's seventh in the all-around ranking and seventh in total putting. He's the perfect complement to a horse-for-course this week.
Henrik Stenson: He was T2 in Houston and backed that up with a very solid T18 at the Masters in his last time out. His course history is not very good but his form what I'm looking at here. He's long, accurate and has no problem racking up GIR.
Boo Weekley: Well, when you're hot, you're hot. He'll have to play himself off my list. He's made 10 cuts in a row and has three top 10s on the season.
Nicolas Colsaerts: I opined last week that New Orleans could have been the tonic Colsaerts needed in the States. Grip and rip it with light rough. There will be a few more trees this week but he's super-long and hits plenty of GIR. It's his first time here so let's hope he bring his GIR game like he did last week (T8).
Kevin Streelman: Another form over course history pick for me as Streelman is cruising along in 2013. After winning in Tampa, he was T21 at Bay Hill, MC at Augusta and T3 at Harbour Town. Not bad. His game is growing up and is confidence is sky-high at the moment. Good combo.

Rory McIlroy-- He actually didn't play that bad at the Masters and I'm looking for him to rebound on a course that he had a T2 on last year and a championship in '10.
Phil Mickelson--I think this spot is a real coin flip between Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson. I'm going with Mickelson because he has six top 10s here in only nine starts.
Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia, Bill Haas
Webb Simpson-- Simpson broke out of his mini-slump last time out with a P2 finish at the RBC Heritage. He also play well in last year's Quail Hollow with a fourth place result.
Nick Watney-- Watney followed up his T13 at the Masters with a T15 last week in New Orleans. He has six top 25s in eight career starts at Quail Hollow with his first top 10 coming last year when he finished in eighth place.
Dustin Johnson-- He doesn't have the strongest history at Quail Hollow, but he has been playing well recently with a T12 at Doral, a T4 at the SHO and a T13 at the Masters. *** ALERT: DJ withdrew on Tuesday with an "irrirated left wrist," according to PGA TOUR Media on Twitter. ***
Jimmy Walker-- This is a tossup between Lucas Glover and Jimmy Walker. Both are playing well, but Glover has a better history at Quail Hollow. The problem is that Glover is expecting the birth of his daughter any day now. Those that don't mind the risk of a possible sudden withdrawal might want to go with Glover, but I'm taking the safer pick of Walker.
Lucas Glover, Zach Johnson, John Senden, Cameron Tringale
Lee Westwood-- Westwood has played well recently with a T10 at the SHO and a T8 at the Masters. He did play in last year's WFC and finished in a tie for fifth place.
Rickie Fowler-- There are a half a dozen guys that could be picked here. I'm going with Fowler because he has two top 6s in three starts at Quail Hollow including a championship last year.

Obsession :: Calvin Klein's Ex-Boy Toy Dishes to Page Six
Calvin Klein's ex-boyfriend, Nick Gruber, recently gave an in-depth interview with the New York Post's Page Six and told the publication that the fashion designer suffered from severe jealousy. The 22-year -old former porn star also said that he is currently working on a tell all book about his relationship with Klein, titled "Obsession: My Life With Calvin Klein."
"I don't know why, but there's, like, something about me that attracts everyone," Gruber told the magazine. "I have a nickname called Romeo. I get every girl, and even guys. Something about me draws them all in." He also said that he was the first man Klein had ever loved.
The couple had an on-and-off relationship for two years, but in September Gruber started a new relationship with 48-year-old John Luciano. The model also said that the iconic designer was stalking him and his new lover.
"Calvin can hire goons to follow John and I all he wants. We have nothing to hide," Gruber said. "I've moved on."
It seems as though the hunk is still painting Klein as a jealous person with some trust issues. He told Page Six that the designer, who is 48 years older than Gruber, about an incident where Klein accused him of cheating and forced him to take a lie detector test.
"And then, you know, things were much better. But I mean, what kind of partner would make you take a lie detector test?" Gruber asked. The model then described the time he took Klein to have his first Big Mac.
"He asked if they had it medium rare," Gruber said. "He took a bite, and he was like, 'Ugh, what's this?' I'll never forget that story: medium rare for a Big Mac at McDonald's."
Gruber also says that he never asked for anything or money while with Klein but the designer shelled out $250,000 on a Bentley and paid for him to live in a posh West Village penthouse.
Page Six also interviewed Luciano, who is the grand-nephew of the infamous mobster Lucky Luciano, and he said that Gruber "crave something from older men."
"The most intimidating thing is having sex with your boyfriend and pulling down his pants and his ex-boyfriend's name is staring you right in the face," Luciano said about the difficulties of dating Gruber.

Rex: One of Most Inspirational Huskers Ever
Randy York's N-Sider
Less than an hour after Nebraska outlasted
Iowa, 13-7, to clinch its spot in Saturday's Big Ten Conference
Championship game against Wisconsin in Indianapolis, a close friend, who
admits he's emotional by nature, sent me an email from his iPhone. "I
had tears in my eyes when (Rex) Burkhead scored his touchdown,"
he wrote. "It had nothing to do with Nebraska and everything to do with
Rex being such an amazing individual. I'm not sure where he ranks
all-time as far as inspirational leaders for the Huskers, but he's No. 1
in my book."
My friend's brother received the same email and agreed with the statement, and after analyzing the comment from inside out, I have come to the same conclusion. In all my years of covering and following the Huskers, I am hard-pressed to name any Husker who could be considered more inspirational than Rex Burkhead.
I decide to call Mike Babcock, another close friend who is without question the foremost historian of modern-day Nebraska football. We discuss Burkhead's status in the grand scheme of inspirational leaders, and after a few minutes, Babcock comes up with a parallel that makes immediate sense to both of us.
"Rex reminds me of Roger Craig," Babcock said, explaining how both compete for one simple reason – the team – and both practice and play every down in one gear and one gear only – all out.
Craig and Burkhead Selfless Superstars
Mike and I agree that Craig and Burkhead are gifted athletes, but even greater people. They are intensely determined yet totally selfless superstars in the way they prepare, the way they see the big picture, the way they compete on game day and the way they respond to adversity.
We discuss how Craig rushes for more than 1,000 yards as a junior, but moves to fullback so a junior college transfer can assume the No. 1 I-back role 30 years ago. Everyone remembers the smooth transition Mike Rozier made into a Nebraska system that hand-delivered him a Heisman Trophy a year later.
Craig finished his Husker career three yards shy of Rick Berns for No. 3 on the NU career rushing list. Craig's injury-riddled senior season had to have been personally frustrating, but his mindset and his attitude never wavered, paving the road for an 11-year career in the NFL and three Super Bowl championship rings in which he not only was a starter, but a star.
Like Roger Craig, Rex Burkhead is a versatile performer who knows how to fight through injury, wait his turn and do his job whenever asked. Bo Pelini asked Burkhead, who had not played in the four previous games because of a knee injury, to carry the Huskers on his shoulder pads Saturday in Iowa City. On a freezing day with blustery winds up to 40 miles an hour, Nebraska's fifth-year head coach needed a catalyst, a spark, or as he called it, "a boost" that could help Nebraska triumph in a sixth consecutive conference game.
Special Delivery When the Crunch Was On
At halftime, Pelini needed someone who could help Nebraska transform a 7-3 deficit into situational superiority against a Hawkeye team playing for pride, respect and each other. Burkhead rose to the occasion, rushing for a team-leading 69 yards, scoring a game-winning 3-yard third-quarter touchdown and bulling his way for a pivotal mid-fourth-quarter first down from the shadows of his own 2-yard line to keep the heat on and create critical field position.
Nebraska running backs coach Ron Brown appreciates Burkhead's multi-dimensional value. "He's a great inside power runner," Brown said. "He's a relentless competitor. He's a great pass-pro guy, receiver. He does everything well, Wildcat quarterback … he does it all." As a junior, Burkhead played some fullback, some wide receiver, even returned punts.
It's been difficult for Burkhead to push through an injury-plagued senior season. "But I love his attitude," Brown said. "He's been coaching Imani (Cross) and Braylon (Heard) and Ameer (Abdullah). He's had his arms around those guys. He talks to the fullbacks all the time. I mean, he's been an extra coach for us because of who he is. A lot of guys would have been sulking and pouting around, and 'Why me?' I think he understands that God has this set up for him this way."
Brown has maintained all season that Burkhead would benefit from the experience. "It's going to sharpen him," Brown said a couple of weeks ago. "When he comes out of this thing, he'll be better than ever. I believe that."
Next Two Rounds Could Be Indy, Pasadena
Well maybe Saturday was Round One in the Rex Burkhead Trifecta to finish a senior season that could deliver Nebraska's first conference championship in 13 years and result in the Huskers' first victory ever in the Rose Bowl, the Granddaddy of all bowl games.
Burkhead missed being a part of every game and contributing on the field. He probably had some personal objectives as well. "But that all changed, and he had to realize, 'Who am I really playing for?'" and "What is this thing really all about?'" Brown said. "I think Rex has learned a lot about leadership. And there were some things in his life that … I mean, as great of a kid as he is, you almost think of him as there are no flaws in him. But there are some areas of growth that he needed."
One was just "how to express his leadership and how to really maximize his leadership," Brown said. "He's a leader by example, but he had to learn how to talk to people, too, and to speak up and to say: 'You know what? This is what has to happen!' Great leaders have to do both. They have to lead by example but they have to articulate themselves as well."
Brown said Burkhead "has learned a lot about the articulation facet of leadership this year, and also about his own perseverance and the ability to just kind of hang in there."
Burkhead Authentic in Excitement for Others
Make no mistake. Brown said Burkhead has been authentic in his excitement while watching the younger running backs develop and succeed. "If there's anything inside of him that isn't kind of right or he's feeling kind of jealous or pouting around or anything, I honestly didn't see it," Brown said. "I think his only disappointment is, 'Oh, I want to be out there contributing.'"
Well, guess what? Burkhead got back on the field Saturday, unexpectedly, but deservedly and definitely productively. After countless hours of watching practice, studying film and trusting his faith, he got inside a huddle, dug his cleats into the turf and powered his way through some physical defenders. Coaches wanted to give him a chance to shake off the rust, and he went well beyond that in Saturday's second half.
If there's one thing Rex has sharpened while missing practice after practice and game day after game day, "I think it's his faith in the Lord," Brown said. "I think he understands that. 'Man, left up to me, I would be pouting around.' But he understands that there's something bigger than him, and this isn't about him. Rex had been building momentum. He was on fire. He was a Heisman candidate and all this and that, and then all of a sudden, the injury. When you really think about it, he's played well. He averaged like 9 yards a carry and had more long runs than he's ever had. I mean, he's gone against some good people and had good games even against Wisconsin and Ohio State. He was on the verge of having another great year."
The knee injury changed Burkhead's world, and sitting out has not been easy for him. But Brown believes it has helped Burkhead understand "that God has a bigger picture," he said. "I think it's helped him keep his poise, keep calm, grow, learn, keep improving in certain things and be as ready as he can" when opportunity intersected with availability.
Burkhead Gets Big Chance to Make His Mark
For Burkhead, last Saturday in Iowa City was Proof Point One. This Saturday in Indianapolis will be Proof Point Two. The Rose Bowl, of course, would be the capstone, and don't be surprised if the Huskers' next two games provide overwhelming evidence that Rex Burkhead not only is one of Nebraska's most inspirational leaders ever, but just might lead such a list after the sun goes down on Pasadena come New Year's Night, 2013.

Voices from Husker Nation
Great piece on Rex Burkhead. He will be sorely missed in Huskerland for sure, but one NFL team is going to get not only a tremendous player next season, but also a young man who will inspire others and will always put team before self. With regards, Martin Fairlie, London, England - GBR!
I just read your article about Rex. Great job … very positive and inspiring for Husker fans young and old. We can all easily carry away a lesson from what you have written about Rex and quotes from Ron Brown. I am also very pleased you didn't steer away from the Christian references made by Ron. It would have taken away from who he and Rex are. Thank you again for the uplifting and insightful article. Have an awesome day. Brad Nettleton, Norfolk and Omaha, Nebraska
Thank you for the great story on Rex. He has been an amazing young man to watch for the past several seasons, whether he has been injured or not. I would agree that he is a lot like Roger Craig! I've been a Husker fan since 1971, when I was 7-years-old, and my twin brother Ron and I needed something to focus on. Our dad had just been killed in a farm accident and our mom went back to work with my oldest sister to raise four of us (including two other older sisters). Needless to say, to stay out of trouble, we found the Cornhuskers on our radio (and TV once in awhile)! I remember Dick Perry doing the games on the radio at that time and your great writing. I continue to follow Nebraska after all of these years (as does my family)! Thanks again for what you do! Roy Conrad, Sioux Falls, South Dakota (and Nebraska transplant from Bridgeport)
I liked your article on Rex Burkhead as one of the most inspirational leaders both on and off the field. Rex sure is a class act. Living in the Bay Area of Northern California, I am very familiar with Roger Craig playing for the 49ers and Raiders back in the day. Roger has tremendous work ethic and determination much like Rex. I enjoy both class acts from Huskerland. Steve M. King, Redwood City, California
Thanks for a great article on Rex Burkhead. I have a lot of respect for him as he continues to grow and learn. Layne Billings, Principal, Gilbert High School, Gilbert, Iowa
Graduated in 1970 and have had season tickets since 1962. Watched Bobby Reynolds to Turner Gill, and still play golf with Charlie McBride when he's not traveling. Rex is a very special person. Bet Tom (Osborne) would have loved to coach him. John McEniry, Scottsdale, Arizona
In the future, when Husker football fans talk
about National Championships, Heisman winners and the leadership/tradition Coach Tom Osborne gave the Husker football program, etc., the name Rex Burkhead will surface as the
spirit of what a true student-athlete
embodies in Husker football. Joseph
P. Sokolovsky, Fremont, Nebraska

Julianne Hough will likely return to "Dancing with the Stars" as a judge, according to TMZ.
I guess that film career didn't work out the way she wanted.
Sources reportedly connected with the show told the website the show made an offer to Hough to join the three returning judges on the panel. The sides are still negotiating but are expected to make a deal.
Hough left the show a few years back to pursue acting and singing. Her career highlights include the "Footloose" remake and "Rock of Ages."
Right. She needs the job.
TMZ reported that, since her "Dancing with the Stars" commitment will only encompass a few hours a week, Hough plans to continue pursuing acting.

The interest in becoming the next Oak Ridge football coach is only in its infancy but just two and half days into the search, that interest has already surpassed the 2009 coaching search that brought coach Scott Blade in.
The interest in becoming the next Oak Ridge football coach is only in its infancy but just two and half days into the search, that interest has already surpassed the 2009 coaching search that brought coach Scott Blade in.
Athletic director Mike Mullins posted the position on the Oak Ridge schools website, tssaa.org and footballscoop.com this week.
"Wow is a good word," said Mullins to descibe how many applications he has already received. "I had not idea that we would have that many."
According to the posting on ortn.edu, candidates should have a minimum of a bachelor's degree, with teaching experience preferred, and a Tennessee teaching license with appropriate endorsement. The coach should also have "strong knowledge of leading one of the state's top football programs" and while "successful head coaching experience is preferred, consideration will be given to an assistant coach with outstanding potential."
The wording is the same as it was in 2009. That year, coach Blade took over the Wildcats and guided them to a 7-4 record and a playoff berth after finishing 4-6 the year before.
"We will post the job for two weeks and get the resumes in," Mullins said. "Once we get the applications in, we'll get those out to the committee members."
Mullins said a hiring committee has not been named of yet, but it will be a "small" group.
It will be up to that group to sift through the resumes and decide who merits an interview.
"I don't know how many we will interview," Mullins said.
When asked about the details and whether anyone with Oak Ridge ties — past or present —would be considered, Mullins noted it is still to be determined.
"We want to find the coach that is best for Oak Ridge High School. We have not sat down yet and really defined what those intangibles are yet. It will probably be next week until we set those. It is a wide-open process. It's anybody's game."
The one intangible the coach will have to have will certainly be to continue to build on the success and bring out more players.
The Wildcats said goodbye to 23 seniors in 2012. Those seniors went 35-15 with Blade in four years.
If all varsity sophomores and juniors stay on in 2013 and none are picked up, only 34 varsity players would be dressing out on Friday night — not including the freshmen team.
The salary range according to the school system's website is $36,407-$69,173, plus $6,335-$10,389 supplement.
Coaches can also apply online through the site.
The first day of football practice is July 29. Oak Ridge will begin its season on the road at rival Farragut on Aug. 30.

James Harden Addresses Him Paying $20k to Model Jenna Shea to "Hang Out"
It doesn't bother me what The Beard does with his money.
If he wants to "Bless" the Strippers or hang out with video vixens, who am I to judge?
But since he chose to address the story about him paying $20k for fly a model and her friends out, it was my journalistic duty to find out the truth.
It was a classic non denial, so I spoke with someone close to the situation in Houston and this is what they had to stay.
"The exact amount of money maybe wasn't $20k, I don't know if it was more or less. It isn't uncommon for players to send for women, they pay not so much for them to come, but to leave. The only problem with this situation is someone leaked to the media it was Harden who sent for them. If it was any other player no one would care, but Harden has a reputation and it became a story. No one considers it a big deal even if the story is fairly accurate. Things are being put in place to make sure it doesn't leak to the media again."
As far as Jenna Shea she isn't confirming or denying anything.
"@Mgwest909: @iamjennashea so it wasn't James harden that have you 20k?"–I dont tell nor ever will cuz im bout my $ keep tryna find out

Moore Invited to WNBA Draft
Lincoln - Nebraska's Lindsey Moore is one of 12 collegiate women's basketball players invited to attend the WNBA Draft presented by State Farm in person at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn..
Moore, a 5-9 senior point guard from Covington, Wash., received her official invitation from the WNBA Thursday to attend the league's 2013 draft, which will be televised live by ESPN2 on Monday, April 15, at 7 p.m.
Moore will join 2013 collegians Brittney Griner (Baylor), Elena Delle Donne (Delaware), Skylar Diggins (Notre Dame), Alex Bentley (Penn State), Kelsey Bone (Texas A&M), Layshia Clarendon (California), Kelly Faris (Connecticut), Tianna Hawkins (Maryland), Tayler Hill (Ohio State), Sugar Rodgers (Georgetown) and Toni Young (Oklahoma State) in attendance at the draft.
Moore becomes the second Husker in the past four years to be invited to the WNBA Draft as a potential first-round pick, joining former NU All-American forward Kelsey Griffin (2010). Griffin was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 draft by the Minnesota Lynx, before being traded minutes later to the Connecticut Sun. Griffin earned WNBA All-Rookie honors for the Sun in 2010 and enters her fourth season on the Sun roster in 2013.
Moore was a two-time finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, presented to the nation's top point guard. She earned honorable-mention All-America accolades from the Associated Press in 2013, after leading the Huskers to their second NCAA Sweet 16 in her four years in Lincoln. Before Moore's arrival, Nebraska had never advanced to the Sweet 16.
She closed her career as Nebraska's all-time leader in assists (699), games started (132), minutes played (4,360) and victories (94). Moore ended her Nebraska career ranked No. 11 in scoring (1,673), No. 9 in steals (208) and No. 4 in three-pointers made (173).
As a senior, Moore averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals while leading the Huskers in overall field goal percentage (.468) and three-point field goal percentage (.382). She also hit 80.7 percent of her free throws. She ranked among the top 15 players in the Big Ten in seven statistical categories, including No. 1 in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.14).
Nebraska finished with a 25-9 record and a 12-4 Big Ten mark during Moore's senior season, the second-highest victory totals in school history.
Moore was a two-time All-Big Ten selection and a two-time Big Ten All-Tournament Team pick. She was an honorable-mention All-Big 12 choice as a sophomore in 2010-11, after earning Big 12 All-Freshman honors in 2009-10.
As a freshman, Moore helped Griffin and the Huskers to the best season in school history, finishing with a 32-2 record and Big 12 regular-season title. Moore became the first freshman point guard in NCAA Division I history to start every game for a team that finished a regular season undefeated.
ESPN2 will televise the first round of the WNBA Draft live starting at 7 p.m. on Monday. Full coverage of the second and third rounds will continue on ESPNU at 8 p.m.
Huskers in the WNBA Draft
- Kelsey Griffin, 6-2, F, 2010 (1st Round, No. 3 Pick, Minnesota Lynx/Traded to Connecticut)
- Cory Montgomery, 6-2, F, 2010 (3rd Round, No. 25 Pick, New York Liberty)
- Kiera Hardy, 5-6, G, 2007 (3rd Round, No. 38 Pick, Connecticut Sun)
- Nicole Kubik, 5-10, G, 2000 (1st Round, No. 15 Pick, Los Angeles Sparks)
Other Huskers in the WNBA
- Yvonne Turner, 5-8, G, 2013 (Training Contract with San Antonio Silver Stars)
- Danielle Page, 6-2, F, 2008 (Free Agent, spent 2008 season with Connecticut Sun)
- Anna DeForge, 5-11, G, 2000-09 (Two-time WNBA All-Star, 2004, 2007; played with Detroit, Phoenix, Indiana and Minnesota)

Why doesn't luke just buy out AGD?
He is toms neighbor.
To leave feedback: Click seller/buyers name, Click feedback score, Click leave feedback
Truth is I really want to get out of the retail business, my interest is manufacturing.
The poll is looking OK, I will start the prototyping this coming week.
Luke does the top face of this match up to your emag battery pack manifold?
Warp Feed Evangelist
My Feedback
So how far off is the LP output location from the manifold? You've already milled my rail...
This output is center, between the two mount screws so it can go through the forgrip slot.
I don't have any idea of the weight, I have not machined any parts yet.
The LPR will have all the internal milling which will help lighten it, it stands to reason that if there is none on the FG it will be heavier.
OK, here we go!
Going to get started on the programming for the LPRFG and designing and programming for the fixtures.
I took last week to work on customer jobs and a few personal projects, now we'll get after this.
I look forward to seeing a prototype.
This is coming along, it gets attention everyday, but we're not quite there. Project is much bigger (time consuming) than originally anticipated, but I'm getting closer to the prototype...
^ I'm patient. I can't wait to see a prototype along with a finished product.
This may finally bring back to build a new marker.
Fire power my friends.
Any news on this.
Project is still on, just got side tracked on customer work and restocking some other products.
The design is done on the LPRFG and programming is like 90% done so I'm super close to making the prototype.
Project will get done and I plan on making probably 20 or 30 units without a preorder.
But right now I'm stuck having to put a new engine and transmission in my truck. I can't put that off because it is my only transportation beside my Harley. I have to finish building the engine and the new transmission is on it's way as of earlier today. I've been gather parts the past two weeks or so hoping to have everything in line to knock it out. I'm going from the 390FE to a SB302, its not a standard swap so it takes some parts gathering, new exhaust, etc.
Rest assured this project will get done, I'm just spread thin these days...
Any updates?
Not yet, but it's still at the top.
Random question but could this potentially be used with a "capped" valve? Meaning could use get the pressure up enough to replace the reg on a classic valve? This might go well on a project I'm working on.
Max input psi: 1500
Psi out: 0-200
No, not using/hiding a Micro Rock, but partly similar in concept and will be using a few of the Palmer parts to try and help keep production costs down. There will be no way to justify doing these any other way, and in reality, numbers will probably be to low to justify the project at all. But I'll do at least one run even if there's no profit, just to it.
Small up date, this is definitely NOT forgotten!
I just placed the tool order for this project (a little over $250).
I was ordering more tooling for the slug rails and figured I would get this order in to give me a little jab to help get this back on track.
I hope to be back on this soon.
Every time I consider selling my Etek frame I think about this thread....
Look at the first post.

Lightweighting vehicles to improve fuel economy remains the driving force in the design and application of metals and other materials in the automotive industry. But the environmental burden imposed through the entire lifecycle of materialsfrom manufacturing to use and recoveryis a growing concern for industry as governments across the globe impose stricter regulations to better control and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The lightweighting trend itself is unstoppable, especially as small vehicles are desired in many regions of the world, fast-growing emerging economies are creating a middle class that wants to own vehicles, and materials must now be fashioned to handle new fuel sources, such as plug-in batteries.
The steel, aluminum and copper industries all say that the content of each of these metals entering service in a brand-new vehicle typically has already been recycled, thus creating very little emissions in the manufacturing process; is made to last the life of the vehicle without needing replacement; and is virtually 100-percent recyclable when the vehicle is scrapped.
Copper content in North American vehicles ranges from 55 to 68 pounds, according to a market study conducted by the Copper Development Association (CDA), New York. Forecasting that hybrid electric/gasoline-powered vehicles will make up 4 to 6 percent of all vehicles on North American roads within two years, the study estimated that hybrids "will use almost twice as much copper as traditional 14-volt (battery) vehicles," according to Bob Weed, vice president of the CDA's original equipment manufacturing section.
Apart from the needs created by a battery-operated vehicle, the increasing amount of standard electronicsfrom global positioning satellite (GPS) devices and video screens to iPhone docking stationsall require more wiring.
"Our studies show that the copper content of vehicles is increasing, primarily due to the increase of electrical and electronic components. (That) includes the connectors and terminal components as well as wiring," Weed said.
Aluminum's strength in the lifecycle of automotive materials comes in the use phase, according to Doug Richman, vice president of engineering and technology at Kaiser Aluminum Corp., Foothill Ranch, Calif.
Aluminum production "uses more energy and generates up to three times more CO2 (carbon dioxide) than to create virgin steel, but in the use phase that deficit is now offset," he acknowledged. "In 18 months, the vehicle is breakeven in terms of greenhouse gas savings, and from then on there is a net savings for the rest of the vehicle's life up to 14 years"the average age of a vehicle when it is scrapped.
Although they perform well in the use phase because they are so light, materials such as magnesium, plastics and composites like carbon fiber perform less well in lifecycle comparisons, Richman said. With magnesium, according to researchers at General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, one "must drive 80,000 miles before breaking even on CO2 emissions and energy usage," Richman said.
Magnesium recycling rates grew to 53 percent of apparent supply in 2008 from 40 percent in 2004, according to the latest data available from the U.S. Geological Survey.
Approximately 95 percent of all aluminum in a scrapped vehicle is recycled and about 60 percent of the aluminum that goes into making a new car is secondary material, Richman said, noting that melting secondary aluminum uses only 5 percent of the energy needed when smelting new aluminum.
"Right now, folks are paying more attention to the sustainability of vehicle content," said Ron Krupitzer, vice president of automotive applications at the Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), a division of the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Metal manufacturers and converters have become more focused on sustainability primarily for sound economic reasonsthe more metal recovered, the less raw material has to be mined and meltedbut also for the sake of environmental stewardship. "The EPA is interested in our carbon footprint," he said.
Steel accounts for 60 to 65 percent of the average North American vehicle's content today, up from about 55 percent 15 years ago, which Krupitzer attributes to the wider application of high-strength lightweight steels. There continues to be even more pressure, he said, "on mass reduction and continued work on strengthening methods and lightweighting."
Krupitzer firmly believes that lighter but highly engineered vehicles are the future and that lightweight high-strength steels will take an even greater share of vehicle content.
"Our basic thinking on lifecycle is simple In making a car, if we reduce the amount of steel by using high-strength steel we reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in making the steel, and the car uses less gasoline, so we're creating lower emissions there," he said. "At the end of the vehicle's life, every pound of steel is recovered and reused. The average recycling ratepounds retrieved through scrapping and dismantling and remelting of materialis 100 percent, equal to the new steel going into vehicles every year."
The economics of the recycling business "determine the way end-of-life vehicles are processed in the United States," Weed said. Automakers are working on cost-effective solutions that will improve the recycling rates for junked cars and trucks. "Dismantlers are removing those components for which commodity prices make separate processing economical. Similarly, shredding companies choose their technologies to maximize the amount of copper recycled, which also has a positive effect on their revenues," he said.
"The engine that drives recycling in the automotive market is steel," Krupitzer said. "If there weren't a market to retrieve steel, the other metals couldn't be recovered economically."

Here's an idea of how the 2013 NBA draft order would look if all the ping-pong balls fell in a way to help the worst teams the most (that never happens, of course). A lot could change, obviously. For instance, if the Lakers miss the playoffs, Phoenix gets their pick, giving the Suns two lottery picks (similar to what Portland had in 2012). The Thunder, who could reach the Finals again, may end up with a lottery pick via Houston and Toronto. Strangely, the Raptors 2013 pick is Top 3 protected, and 15-30 protected. I'd say there's a 78% chance the Thunder get that pick. As for the college players … check out how much things have changed since the 2013 NBA Mock draft I did right after the 2012 draft.
1. Charlotte – Ben McLemore, G, Kansas. Dreadful offensive team adds clutch, 6-foot-5 scorer who is in the Ray Allen/Mitch Richmond mold. Better dancer, though.
2. Orlando – Marcus Smart, G, Oklahoma State. Too high? Budding freshman star built like a tank (6-4, 225) attacks the rim with the best of them. Reminds me of James Harden, just needs to improve his 3-point shooting.
3. Washington – Anthony Bennett, F, UNLV. When your three leading scorers are all guards (who shoot 42 percent or lower), an inside presence is necessary. Enter Bennett, who is equal parts Larry Johnson and Kevin Willis.
4. Cleveland – Nerlens Noel, C, Kentucky. Don't care about the ACL injury. He'll be back in January or February of 2014 and immediately help the worst defense in the NBA (opponents shooting 47.6 percent).
5. Phoenix – Alex Len, C, Maryland. Suns have needs all over the place, and Gortat is on the books for two more years. Len turns 20 in June. Wait until he plays with a real PG. Love the athletic 7-footer.
6. Sacramento – Otto Porter, F, Georgetown. Kings have Cousins inside, then a bunch of guard who chuck. They play no defense. Porter, a great all-around player, should start immediately at SF.
7. New Orleans – Michael Carter-Williams, PG, Syracuse. Eric Gordon's a combo guard; Austin Rivers looks like one, too. Yes, Grevis Vasquez is having a terrific year (3rd in the NBA in assists!) but he can't shoot and at 26, have we seen his ceiling? Carter-Williams could be the second coming of Penny Hardaway.
8. Minnesota – Shabazz Muhammad, G, UCLA. Wolves lack consistent scoring on the wing. Muhammad, along with a healthy Love and Rubio, should make the playoffs in 2014.
9. Detroit – Victor Oladipo, SG, Indiana. Building around Drummond/Monroe/Knight appears to be the best option. Biggest needs: SG, SF. Expect a lot of new faces in 2013. Oladpio could be an offensively-minded Thabo in the NBA.
10. Oklahoma City (from Toronto) – Cody Zeller, PF, Indiana. Could have gone Top 5 last year, but slides – which may not be a bad thing. Thunder have no Bigs with low-post moves. I see him as a solid 13-7 contributor on a playoff team.
11. Philadelphia – Mason Plumlee, PF, Duke. What's going on with Andrew Bynum? Will Young or Wright be brought back? How about a Bynum/Plumlee frontline, with Turner/Holiday/J-Rich on the perimeter?
12. Dallas – Trey Burke, PG, Michigan. Aging, rebuilding team could use just about anybody. No better way to start a post-Dirk foundation than with a talented point guard.
13. Phoenix (from LA Lakers) – CJ McCollum, G, LeHigh. Bummer that he's been injured for much of the year. The Suns will lose this pick if the Lakers rally to make the playoffs.
14. Charlotte (from Portland) – Isaiah Austin, F/C, Baylor. Intriuging prospect in that he's 7-feet tall, makes Shawn Bradley look portly, and likes to shoot from deep. Austin could replace Mullens when he departs in two years.
15. Milwaukee – Archie Goodwin, PG, Kentucky. They're likely losing Dalembert (maybe at the trade deadline) and Dunleavy and Udrih. So a SF or backup PG (especially with Jennings seemingly wanting out) would be primary needs.
16. Boston – Alex Poythress, F, Kentucky. Going best on board since nobody has any idea about Pierce or Garnett. On talent, Poythress is a Top 10 pick. Drifts a lot, though, settles for jumpers. Perhaps he'll carry the Cats' with Noel out and get back in the lottery.
17. Atlanta (from Houston) – Kelly Olynyk, C, Gonzaga. Two first round picks and likely a ton of cap room. Danny Ferry makes a run at Dwight Howard, right? Olynyk has to be one of college basketball's most improved players, ranking 1st in PER (36.5), and if they whiff on Howard, at least he can step in and play immediately.
18. Utah – James McAdoo, F, UNC. Big offseason looms for the Jazz. What will happen with Jefferson, Mo Williams, Millsap, and Foye? I'll go best-on-board in McAdoo, who is a better player than we've seen this year. Hampered by poor guard play.
19. Atlanta – Glenn Robinson, F, Michigan. If they lose Smith – which seems like a lock – they'll need a wing player, and Robinson is one who can actually shoot. I'm not as high on Robinson as others, who talk about him as if he's a borderline Top 10 pick.
20. Chicago – Isaiah Canaan, G, Murray State. Still need a shooter, and even though a Canaan/Rose backcourt would be too small, why not try it? The only other guy I gave serious thought to here was …
21. Utah (from Golden State) – Michael Snaer, SG, Florida State. Reach? Probably. The Jazz can't seem to find a shooter (Burks?), and I'm curious what Snaer can do with talent around him.
22. Brooklyn – Willie Cauley-Stein, C, Kentucky. If the Nets are trying to dump Humphries, how about having Lopez alongside Cauley-Stein? Willie's a sleeper – but maybe not for long if he does well with Noel out.
23. Indiana – CJ Leslie, F, NC State. David West is likely to walk, leaving a gaping hole at PF. Could Leslie battle Hansbrough for that spot? What about Miles Plumlee, whom they drafted last year? Leslie has the most offense of that trio.
24. Denver – Jamaal Franklin, F, San Diego St. Feels like a Euro stash-pick spot, given the nature of the loaded Nuggets. But they'll lose Corey Brewer to free agency, and Franklin is a very nice athlete.
25. Minnesota (from Memphis) – DeSean Thomas, SF, Ohio State. Love his game, but he's looked less impressive this year sans Sullinger inside. Could be a sleeper this late in the first round.
26. New York – Jeff Withey, C, Kansas. Oldest team in the NBA could use a shot-blocker inside to spell Tyson Chandler.
27. LA Clippers – BJ Young, G, Arkansas. Coming off a big freshman year, was supposed to tear it up but has struggled and now has been coming off the bench. Guess he bought into his own hype. If the Clips lose Bledsoe (nobody thinks they can afford him), they'll need a replacement, and Young's got talent.
28. Cleveland (from Miami) – Le'Bryan Nash, F, Oklahoma State. I won't be the only one to say this, but if the Cavs are healthy next year, and Noel returns at 100% in January, I'm not sure how they don't make the playoffs. Irving-Waiters-Nash-Varejao-Noel is a young, exciting starting five. Just need pop off the bench.
29. Oklahoma City – Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh. Not having a terrific year for Pitt, but he's a raw 7-footer, so perhaps they draft him with the idea of playing him in 2-3 years. Then again, they did that with Cole Aldrich and he can't get any burn.
30. San Antonio – Rudy Gobert, F, France. You'll notice I haven't included any Euros in this mock. That's because I haven't seen any of them yet. But the Spurs have success going that route, and in a cursory look at his tape, Gobert looks like a young stud, so here you go.

Before the most recent snowstorm, the area had been suffering from the drought that lasted all summer, worrying growers that their wheat crops might not sprout before full winter hit.
But that snow dropped more than an inch of moisture, not just snow, which has made all the difference.
"The wheat is looking real good this year," said extension agent Marlin Eisenach. About 98 percent of what was planted has germinated, even dryland wheat.
"We're kind of excited about it," said wheat grower Fred Midcap, who farms in the western part of Morgan County.
That corner of the county has very good conditions for both the crop and moisture, he said. The area had about two inches of moisture fall since planting in September. Before that, the levels of moisture were a concern, since fields amounted to about five or six inches of dry dirt.
Thankfully, the area had about three days of cool weather along with precipitation, allowing the new water to merge with existing subsoil moisture and replenish the soil, Midcap said. However, the crop will have to live off that unless more precipitation comes.
Midcap said he did not think his crop has suffered from any soil erosion from winds.
He also said that his summer crop had the best overall average yield of any crop he's had. That crop depended on the snow moisture that accumulated before the drought hit.
According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, about 94 percent of Colorado winter wheat emerged by the end of last week. That's a little lower than the five-year average, but no one is complaining.
Drought conditions continued last week as the state had below-average precipitation and above average temperatures. High winds did raise concerns about the conditions of the crop, especially fears of wind erosion, NASS says.
Soil moisture ratings show extremely dry conditions persist. Only 15 percent of fields were reported to have adequate top soil moisture, with 46 percent short of moisture and 39 percent very short. Only 7 percent of fields had adequate subsoil moisture, with 34 percent short and 59 percent very short. Those figures are almost the opposite of last year.
Pastureland is rated mostly poor to very poor across Colorado.

The Foothills Park & Recreation District has asked for site approval from Jefferson County to allow for much larger signage at its campus on Ward Street.
A hearing is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, before the Planning Commission.
Ron Hopp, executive director of the district, said the main reason for seeking bigger signage is to make the buildings easier to find in an emergency. The new sign on The Ridge Recreation Center would be 135 square feet. The current sign is about 4 feet by 3 feet, or 12 square feet.

SHIRLEY -- Recent changes in the formula for communities' required local contributions could dramatically alter the budget for the Ayer-Shirley Regional School District and the two towns.
Ayer-Shirley Superintendent Carl Mock told the School Committee Wednesday night that the state's new formula, designed to finish the Chapter 70 equity reforms of 2007, changes everything.
"We are looking at cuts that would be catastrophic," he said.
The RLC is a minimum amount that cities and towns must contribute to their school districts. In fiscal 2007, Ayer's RLC was nearly $1 million higher than the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's target figure. In each successive year, Ayer narrowed the gap between its RLC and the state target to the point that, in fiscal 2014, it will be eliminated. In fiscal 2014, Ayer's RLC will be equal to the state's target figure of $6,733,265.
By contrast, Shirley's fiscal 2007 RLC was nearly $500,000 less than the DESE's target figure. Although the gap has narrowed between the two figures over the past six years, Shirley's fiscal 2014 RLC is still projected to be $202,963 below the DESE target of $4,825,554.
The RLC is a measure of how much local tax revenue a city or town can reasonably raise and dedicate to the operation of its schools. For fiscal 2014, the new state formula means that the assessment for Shirley will increase by $260,699, "and when that occurs, it also changes net school spending above the local contribution," stated Mock.
Although Ayer Shirley is a regional school district, across the state, Chapter 70 funding is looked at locally, ASRSD Finance Director Evan Katz said.
"The RLC piece is problematic, because with net school spending above the RLC, for every dollar Shirley contributes, Ayer contributes two. But in RLC there is no match, so it raises on a dollar-for-dollar basis."
For Shirley, an RLC increase of $260,699 that brings no match from Ayer is a big chunk of revenue for Shirley, Katz said.
In addition, if a town is not "at zero" in terms of its meeting the DESE target for RLC, the state "takes a chunk each year. This is catch-up for communities that the state feels need to ratchet up their contributions a little more."
"We will still be lagging in the next couple of years," said Mock, adding that the town's ability to raise funds is about $300,000, obviously not enough to fill the need.
Mock said that he and others had been discussing getting relief from the state on two issues. One is that the region is new and that the money for its transition was inadequate. In its transition year, the district operated on a $300,000 grant.
Secondly, said Mock, one community is doing catch-up on RLC and on the above-RLC phase-in, and the community has limited taxing ability. Next year, Shirley will pay 32 percent of NSS costs above the RLC, up from 24 percent in fiscal 2012, and 28 percent in fiscal 2013. In the next three years, the phase-in will continue to be about a 45 percent share.
"I think we have to, one, start having conversations about the impact of this huge limiting factor on our resources. It is an extraordinary limiting factor."
Mock suggested having the district's leadership board meet with local legislators. "Just to give you an idea of the impact of this, if you took the $300,000 full taxing authority of Shirley, we would still have to cut this budget by $800,000, and we are already running a half-a-million-dollar deficit due to special-education costs.
"This is a pretty traumatic change we had not anticipated."
Katz said that in the past, there had been a $1 million to $5 million "pothole" fund to address unique situations like this, and that there was an application process with criteria. Formally known as the Foundation Reserve Award, the pothole program was established by the Legislature in 1996 to supplement Chapter 70 funding and provide relief for extraordinary and unanticipated needs.
"But the pothole fund doesn't appear to exist right now," he said.
When School Committee member Susan Therriault asked if the situation were dependent upon the governor's budget, Katz replied that the local aid amount is in the state budget, and that the budget "blesses the formula they use." But, he added, "It can be changed."
"If the governor's budget holds true, we would essentially have no more revenue for two years," said Mock. "We're looking at something where we are making $8,000 more in revenue next year than this year, which is no more than last year. Everything is being made up on the assessment side. There is no place else to go."
"I definitely think we should engage our legislators. I think that is the best route, but I think they are pretty limited in what they can do," Therriault stated.
"It would have to be approved by the Legislature," said Katz.
"If Shirley were to get some kind of legislative relief, would that mean that Ayer would pay more?" asked Shirley Finance Committee Chair Frank Kolarik.
"It depends on the formula used. If Shirley's RLC goes down, then with all the expenses shared two-to-one (Ayer/Shirley), that would help the region," said Katz.
"That would begin to approach (the preliminary budget) we presented on Jan. 8," Mock added.
"We also need a long-term solution, because this isn't going to go away," said Therriault.
"This is a situation where time really isn't on our side because we have a budget to certify and the House doesn't generally vote until the end of April, after we have certified our budget, so we have a pretty narrow window if we have to go forward with something this spring," Katz explained. "The Senate acts in May and does not reconcile until June, and that's obviously very late for us to do any realistic planning."
The School Committee is required to certify the school budget in March, he said.
The panel will meet with the Shirley Finance Committee on Monday night, after which they plan to have a meeting with the two town boards of selectmen and finance committees.
Kolarik said he expects the town accountant to have the town's free cash estimates by then.
"I think we all have our work cut out for us," said Mock.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova Star TeeBird-L (TL) fairway driver is straight. The TL is the brother of the reliable TeeBird (see below). The "L" stands for "Less Overstable" and "Longer". This disc has the same great speed and glide as the TeeBird, but is straighter flying with less fade at the end of the flight. If you are looking for a straight flying maximum fairway driver, the TL is the answer. The TL+ combines The TL's neutral flight with the easy-release plus rim, making this an ideal disc for almost any fairway shot. Beginner friendly. 21.2 cm.
It is a great choice for a first fairway driver, tight fairway driver, placement driver, turnover shots, and beginner disc golfers.
The Innova TL+ differs from the TL in that it is made from the Plus Mold. The angle of the rim under the disc was changed in that It angles outwards slightly more than the regular rim which is more of a 90° angle to the bottom of the disc. This slight angling of the rim allows a smoother release. Everything else is the same. With it's easy-release rim, the TL+ comes out clean. The plus rim and the TL's neutral flight make this disc easy to throw for straight drives. It could be the ultimate smooth fairway driver.
Speed 7, Glide 5, Turn 0, Fade 1
About Star plastic in general - it has the durability of Champion plastic with the superior all-weather grip of Pro plastic. Star discs have the same flight rating characteristics of Champion discs, although some Star Lite discs may be slightly more high-speed stable. Star retains flight characteristics longer than DX or Pro Plastics.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Star colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.

"Bar none, the greatest disc golf driver I've ever owned. Indestructo plastic, a wonderfully versatile neutral flight that satisfies my need for a fairway driver or a sidearm control shot. The CE TL consistently finds the putting circle. Simply put... THE TL NEVER LETS ME DOWN!!" - Gregg Hosfeld
"My true love of the Fairway Drivers. Yes, it's slower, but it's accurate. I trust many shots with this disc." - Des Reading
If you are looking for a disc that has
more Glide, try the Kite
more Turn, try the Eagle
more Fade, try the TeeBird
Other Speed 7,8 discs include the Archangel, Banshee, Dragon, Eagle and TeeBird
The Innova TeeBird disc golf disc is a straight fairway driver and one of Innova's most accurate and reliable. It has a combination of straight flight, high glide and good speed that make it accurate and long flying both upwind and downwind. It is a very versatile driver, excellent for pin-point accuracy, distance and sidearm. It is the preferred fairway driver of 12 time world champion and Hall of Famer, Ken Climo. Brother to the Innova TL (see below). 21.2 cm diameter
It is a great choice as a utility driver, headwind driver, sidearm driver, for hyzer shots, flex shots, and thumbers.
The Champion Teebird+ differs from the Teebird in that it is made from the Plus Mold. The angle of the rim under the disc was changed in that It angles outwards slightly more than the regular rim which is more of a 90° angle to the bottom of the disc. This slight angling of the rim allows a smoother release. Everything else is the same. There is a limited supply of The Plus Mold TeeBird. Try it before they are gone! 173-175 only

"The TeeBird should be a staple of every golfer's bag. When new, it flies straight with a smooth hyzer finish. As it gets beat up it flies straight with very little deviation from its flight path." - Mike Solt

more Glide, try the Kite

text: email@example.com � It was a valiant effort in Wednesday night�s opener, but the Reading Rangers (5-16) came up short against Schoolcraft 50-34�in Wednesday night�s Class C District semifinal at Quincy High School.Reading hung around early, playing tenacious defense as Schoolcraft�s top gun Luke Ryskamp sat the majority of the second quarter with two fouls. The problem for Reading was their inability to take advantage of Ryskamp�s time on the bench in both the second and third quarters; as Reading tallied only five in each stanza."We had a few that didn�t drop in that stretch," said Reading coach Brett Kerspilo. "I can�t be disappointed in the effort we gave. We�re undersized, but as we did all year, we played with tremendous heart."Schoolcraft (20-2)�opened the game with a bucket inside from Zach Decker just over two minutes in. Reading responded with a triple from Dylan Ash to take the 3-2 lead � their only lead of the half � and the game.Ryskamp got on track for the Eagles with a three-point play to make it 5-3, as Schoolcraft continued to build a small advantage that got up to 15-9. Reading�s Alex Simmons hit a three at the buzzer to make it a three-point game after the first eight minutes.Schoolcraft opened the second quarter with a 6-0 run before Reading put a point on the board on a Devin Higley steal and scoop. Reading rattled off a triple from Cody Kafer and a bucket from Simmons to cut it to 22-17. Schoolcraft got a pair of free throws from Kyle Santman, another bucket from Decker and a drive and layup from Ryskamp at the horn to make it a 28-17 game at the break.Ryskamp drove the center of the lane for an easy layup to start the third and got a free throw and bucket moments later to make it a 33-17 game. Reading responded with a basket from Kafer to make it a 33-19 game. A three from Schoolcraft�s diminutive guard Benny Clark made it a 36-19 game. Reading got a bucket and free throw from Kafer to cut the lead to 14; but Schoolcraft got the last bucket of the quarter as Jeffrey Scott grabbed a Ryskamp miss and put it back for a 38-22 lead after three quarters.In the fourth, Ryskamp got another easy layup to start the quarter, and Schoolcraft pushed the lead to 42-26 before Reading got another triple from Kafer to make it 42-29. A few possessions later, Schoolcraft pushed the lead to 46-32 with a bucket from Decker on the inside, setting up the final 90 seconds.Reading�s mantra was to keep the game as slow-paced as possible and not get into a track meet with the Eagles. Reading shot 5 of 12 from the line on the night, unable to fully take advantage of some free opportunities."We wanted to keep them off balance by using different defenses, said Kerspilo. "I think we did that, and we didn�t want to get into a running match with them."Cody Kafer led Reading with 16 points. Devin Higley added seven points, four assists and three rebounds; Brandon St. Clare added five; Alex Simmons had three points and six boards; and Dylan Ash added three points.Luke Ryskamp led all scorers with 19 and Zach Decker added eight.Kerspilo and the Rangers say goodbye to six seniors in Devin Higley, Casey Donihue, Cody Kafer, Dylan Ash, Alex Simmons and Austin Coe."They�ve helped out our youth program and I�m proud of what they�ve been to our program," said Kerspilo.

So many of you seem to want to draft Berry. Which is OK, but you also seem to think it will happen. It won't.
Pioli's a guy who wouldn't draft a LB (Curry) last season because he didn't think LBs should be taken top-5. He isn't going to draft a safety top-5, top-10, or top-15, especially when we have big gaps on out OL and DL.
We're going Okung, Baluga, or Williams in the 1st round (barring a massive trade-down). There isn't a whole lot that can be guarenteed, but this can.

EDMONTON - Michelle Ernst donned a Victorian wedding gown she designed herself. Wearing an ivory dress with ornate lace trim dotting the scooped neckline, Michelle was the "personification of youthful beauty," said Marcia Loder, the marriage commissioner who officiated her wedding April 21.
She wore her dress with delicate capped sleeves one last time Tuesday afternoon, as family, friends and co-workers gathered to mourn the slain armoured guard who took her husband's last name Shegelski.
"Her family thought it best to have her wear the gown she wore on the happiest day of her life," Loder said Tuesday at Connelly-McKinley Funeral home, once again addressing the familiar faces of those who loved Michelle, but this time officiating her funeral, three days shy of the newlywed's 27th birthday.
Shegelski's funeral was the last of three funeral services for the armoured guards killed June 15 during a bank machine robbery at the University of Alberta's HUB Mall. Shegelski, 26, Brian Ilesic, 35, and Eddie Rejano, 39, all employees of G4S Cash Solutions Canada, were allegedly killed by a co-worker who is behind bars awaiting trial. A fourth victim, Matthew Schuman remains in hospital.
The more than 30 wooden pews that lined the Wild Rose Chapel at the funeral home were filled with many decorated servicemen and women. Fellow armoured guards from G4S and a few from competing company Brinks sat alongside highly decorated soldiers and members from EMS, white hats tucked under their arms and white belts wrapped around their navy dress uniforms. Several Parks Services Rangers also attended.
On June 20, Victor Shegelski, Michelle's husband took to his Facebook profile to ask a favour of those who would attend his wife's funeral.
"Any kind of medals, service uniforms or awards of merit are encouraged to be worn; this would mean a lot to me, and I want the world to see how great this loss is," Victor wrote. A former member of the Canadian Forces, Victor had been twice deployed to Afghanistan. "She inspired me to better myself, and brought out the love and emotion I thought I left in the desert," Victor wrote in a separate post. Michelle was honoured as a fallen comrade, a lost friend and a beloved wife and daughter.
"She gave off sparkles wherever she went," said Michelle's mother, Cheryl Ernst in a eulogy for her daughter, comparing her to sparklers atop birthday cakes.
Cheryl's daughter loved the written word. Michelle wrote poems and short stories, some of them on the walls of her childhood bedroom in red, green and blue acrylic paint.
The centrepieces at the Shegelski wedding were a reflection of the passion Michelle had for literature and the way she and Victor had merged their lives.
Topping the tables were a stack of books, some from Michelle's library, others from Victor's, bound together with twine.
They shared a special bond over an Emily Dickinson poem. Victor had the first two lines of the poem tattooed on his forearm when he got back from his second tour of Afghanistan.
"Because I could not stop for Death, /He kindly stopped for me," it reads.
Michelle planned to get the next two lines tattooed on her after their wedding.
"The carriage held but just ourselves/And Immortality."
The same two lines were written in the centre of the funeral program, underneath a photo of the blushing couple on their wedding day, surrounded by the words Michelle wrote on her blog.
Michelle's brother, Kenneth, and sister, Christine, both read excerpts from her blog at the service. "While I type these letters someone dies, is born, changes jobs, loves," Christine read, as two multicoloured panes of stained-glass filled the back of the room with tinted light.
"Seconds. The world is built on seconds."
Although their initial meeting was tense, Victor quickly fell in love with Michelle's high-speed spirit. Michelle, however, was determined to hate him.
"It was the only thing she ever failed at," said Victor, dressed in the long coat-tailed, turn-of-the-century tuxedo jacket he wore when he married Michelle.
"We had something I once never thought existed."
A video tribute was created for Michelle. As the three hanging lamps in the centre of the room dimmed and the projector flickered on, Michelle's family left their seats and began to exit the room. As they walked across the front of the chapel, they lingered on a vision in ivory, her hair slightly curled, lying serenely in the dress she wore when she was happiest, wanting to take in every last image of their "Mic" before saying goodbye.
The images swept across the screen like flipping through a family photo album. A young Michelle sits in a high chair with what could only be spaghetti sauce smeared all over face. An adolescent Michelle poses on her birthday, a chocolate frosted cake with sparklers in the foreground.
Over the changing images, Mumford and Sons' Winter Winds played.
"Let the memories be good for those who stay," they sang. In the last pew, a woman wearing an EMS uniform wiped away her tears. A man, seated next to her, reached his arm across her back and stroked her shoulder.
The final images were of Michelle laughing in the dress, walking down the aisle to a man she hoped to spend the rest of her life with, posing with three bridesmaids in purple dresses holding white bouquets, flexing her muscles, holding a bouquet of brilliant purple flowers, as the words "Forever in our hearts" appeared on the bottom of the screen.
