It's a 50-50 split according to industry insiders.
It's you.
The system that caused so much controversy in life is causing just as much in its death throes.
The conservative Pac-12 and Big Ten have expertly played political games to make sure the future of college football isn't too far off from what they want it to be.
The conference commissioners deciding on the BCS's successor are planning to pass the buck to university presidents when the complaining comes.
The Big Ten is opposed to changing college football's postseason, but for once, you can't blame Jim Delany for it.
Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott thinks a plus one could be back on the table for college football's postseason.
Conference realignment may or may not be happening this summer, but it will happen again.
Kentucky will be a 1-seed, Kevin Sumlin is revitalizing Texas A&M football in a number of areas, and Mo Isom might do more for LSU than the occasional novelty extra point.
After the way the 2012 BCS National Championship worked out, college football has no choice but to go to a playoff format.

Both men were jailed in the Laurel County Detention Facility in London. Their court date is set for March 12 at 11 a.m. in Laurel District Court.
Laurel County Sheriff John Root reported the arrests came at 11 p.m. after Detective Jason Back had investigated a complaint of a meth lab six miles north of London on EB Gross Road, off Little Arthur Ridge Road near East Bernstadt. Back discovered an active one-step meth lab at the residence, which led to the arrests of Robinson and Murray.

Sheriff's detectives Brad Mitchell and Billy Madden, along with Deputy James Sizemore were involved in dismantling the meth lab.

Meadors did a search of the vehicle with his K-9 partner, a police dog named "Jett."
Police say Jett zeroed in on the vehicle, and especially where Barton was sitting. After searching the vehicle and Barton was done, a small baggie of Marijuana was found on the woman.

On Wednesday, June 25th, a special presentation was made to Washington State Parks. Designated money from the MHRV Shows in February and May of this year were donated along with matching funds from WSECU.
Olympia, WA (PRWEB) June 29, 2014
The mission of the the MHRV Association is to promote the RV lifestyle --Creating lifetime memories with family and friends. WSECU is a community credit union that, serves people who share the values of giving, sharing and supporting our communities. The message of the Washington State Parks is Adventure Awaits. Together, these three Washington institutions have teamed up in 2014 to offer joy, opportunity and discovery to everyone in the state.
Owning an RV wouldnt nearly be as fun if you couldnt spend time in our state parks. Theyre incredible! says Dave Helgeson, MHRV show director. But were in danger of losing some of them. Some 40 Washington State Parks are at risk of closure due to massive budget cuts so we felt we needed to help in some way. Helgeson adds, The MHRV hosted two very successful RV shows so far in 2014 and for the second straight year, were donating a portion of both gates to the state parks. This year, our primary partner and sponsor, WSECU, has joined with us and is matching every dollar were donating. This years donation totals $14,608. We are extremely proud and grateful.
During both MHRV Shows (Seattle and Puyallup) held in Feburary and May, some of the money collected at the box office was earmarked to be donated to Washington State Parks. Were so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world and our state parks are a treasure for everyone to enjoy, states Helgeson.
The MHRV (Manufactured Home Recreational Vehicle) Association consists of manufacturers, dealers and vendor member organizations with an all-volunteer Board of Directors. The majority of funds collected go directly toward advertising and promotion of the shows. In 2014, one dollar from every non-discounted adult and senior ticket sold at the box office at The Seattle & Puyallup RV Shows was donated to assist Washington State Parks. The MHRV was created for the express purpose of promoting the RV and manufactured home industries. Two major consumer shows are produced each year to support this effort: The Seattle RV Show (in February) and The Puyallup RV Show (in May) The two shows attract over 25,000 consumers each year. Click MHRVShows.com for more information.
WSECU was founded by a small group of Washington State employees in 1957. Today they are a financial institution that welcomes and serves people who share the values of giving, sharing and supporting their communities. WSECU is a community credit union offering membership to anyone in Washington, with a special focus on public employees and other individuals who work to improve their communities.

Jocelyn Hagen's Finale Tip for Piano Writing
July 25, 2014 | by Baseball Beth
This week composer Jocelyn Hagen shares a tip with the Finale Blog. Here's Jocelyn Hagen's Finale tip for cross staff beaming:
"I've been using Finale for over 15 years and I still don't think I have everything figured out with the program! But I have mastered many skills that help me engrave my music fast and beautifully.
Because I am a pianist, many of my piano parts are quite detailed and virtuosic. Pondering how to make the score look the simplest and easy to sightread takes up much of my time. I tend to compose lots of arpeggiated chords in which there is a seamless switch between the left and right hands. Using cross-staff beaming is the most effective method to notate this kind of technique. Here are a few examples of cross-staff beaming from my scores:
With this kind of notation, the pianist does not have to contemplate which hand to play which note, or have to negotiate unnecessary rests. It's clean & simple ~ just what pianists like!
The first couple times I did this in Finale, I always had to refresh myself on the notation technique, because I could never remember. Years ago the steps to achieve cross-staff beaming were lengthy, yet, I had it down to a science. You can probably relate if you've been using Finale for as long as I have.
Today's Finale makes it easy. First introduced in Finale 2011… here is the keyboard shortcut for creating cross-staff beaming:
1. Choose the Selection Tool then click + drag to select the notes you wish to move.
2. Press Alt+up/down arrow on Windows or Option+up/down arrow on Mac.
Hope this helps! I use this trick all the time, and I encourage you to use this technique when composing piano parts. It's a very natural way to play, and very effective."
Thanks again to Jocelyn Hagen for providing her Finale piano writing tip. To find out more information about Jocelyn's recent projects and performances, visit http://www.jocelynhagen.com/.

Special to The Leader
The Orange Leader
Members of the Orange County Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team were in full gear at Lorena Oates Elementary on Tuesday, moving through numerous scenarios as part of monthly training exercises. The multi-jurisdictional SWAT unit, comprised of law enforcement officers from the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the West Orange Police Department, and the Orange Police Department, utilized the opportunity to review tactics of protecting students.
Tracy Sorge, a Narcotics Sargent with the Orange County Sheriff's Department and SWAT member said, "Protecting students in the educational environment is one of many situations that we train for. This training was already planned, but we incorporated the recent events of Connecticut into our exercise today to critique our response to an active shooter situation."
This is the fifth occasion in the past 18 months that the Orange County SWAT team has trained at a West Orange–Cove CISD facility. The Lorena Oates Elementary school was utilized for this training event because it no longer houses students.
"Two months ago, we had the U.S. Military Green Berets come in. We worked side by side with them at this facility using the same techniques that they use in Afghanistan and Iraq. We take things that we observe through them and incorporate them into the civilian side of law enforcement to better serve our community," Sorge said.
Clint Hodgkinson, Chief Deputy with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, said the SWAT training also includes members of patrol units and first responders.
West Orange–Cove CISD Superintendent James Colbert said, "We have been refining our emergency operation plan since April of 2012. However, we have been working with our local SWAT team for even longer. The training that we have been able to participate in has assisted us in developing an emergency operation plan that helps us to respond to situations that many would consider unthinkable."

Construction permit fees for Toms River properties damaged by Hurricane Sandy will be waived temporarily and anyone who has already paid those storm-related fees can apply to be reimbursed.
Members of Toms River's Township Council passed a resolution Tuesday evening waiving building subcode fees for properties damaged by the late-October storm through Feb. 28, 2013. Building owners must still go through the proper process of obtaining permits, according to the resolution.
Fees already paid beginning on Oct. 30 will be refunded provided that a written request and proof of payment are submitted to the township.
"I think that this is the first of many steps that the council can take in assisting the residents with the reconstruction and rebuilding of those houses and structures that were devastated by the storm," said Council President Maurice Hill. "It's a very good resolution."
Surrounding municipalities, on the recommendation of the state, have already waived such fees. For example, Manchester's Township Council passed a similar resolution on Nov. 15.
The resolution, which aims to "expedite the rebuilding process," does not apply to electrical or plumbing fees, items not included under the section of township code being waived.
"This resolution, I feel, will lessen the burden for our residents in the recovery period and I'm very happy to have it on our agenda this evening," said Councilwoman Maria Maruca after reading the document into the record.

Expressions of Hope From Young Women in the Kibera Slum of Nairobi
LightBox is comprised entirely of photographs taken by Binti
Pamoja's members and essays they have written to accompany those
photos. All of the pictures were taken with disposable or simple point-and-shoot
cameras during the period of 2002-2004. Most of the photographers had
never before held a camera, and were provided less than two hours of
basic training. Their expressions offer a candid look at the lives
of young women in poverty. LightBox demonstrates the value
of empowering a young woman and is a celebration of the victories these
young women achieve every day. Their photography and essays display
a powerful message – one of struggle, perseverance and hope.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP)- Once reluctant to embrace large-scale gambling, Maryland is now on track to potentially become a major casino state on the East Coast.
Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker and Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett have scheduled a news conference on Wednesday to discuss the significance of Tuesday's vote in support of allowing table games like blackjack and a casino in Prince George's.
At first, Maryland lawmakers were leery of full-fledged casinos. In 2007, after years of debate, they settled on allowing five casinos with only slot machines. Voters approved in 2008. It took Tuesday's vote four years later, however, to fully open the door to casinos with all the offerings after the most expensive political advertising campaign in Maryland's history.
Voters approved with 52 percent of the vote.

Halah Touryalai, Forbes Staff
I stalk Wall Street. Stopping short of phone hacking, of course.
Like many Americans these days Dick Bove is very unhappy with his bank, and he's letting everyone know about his horrible experience with Wells Fargo.
It's a bit odd for a well-known bank analyst to go after a bank the way Bove did in note he put out to clients today. Bove lays out all the dirty laundry from his banking relationship with Wells Fargo (he was originally a Wachovia customer until it was rescued and bought by Wells in 2008) and says if he were to rate the bank based on his personal experience then "it would be rated as unacceptable."
Ouch. That's got to hurt Wells Fargo which prides itself on putting its customers first. Earlier this year we profiled Wells Fargo and spoke with CEO John Stumpf who says in the bank's "Vision and Values" handbook: This may surprise you.We believe shareholders come last." Customers and existing employees which the bank dubs "team members" come first.
Stumpf's approach to banking is simple: Existing customers come first. Keep them happy and you'll win more business from them. If you can't do that then what makes you think you can get new ones?
Au contraire, Bove says. Wells Fargo made Bove anything but happy. He goes as far as to say that he is "no longer willing to take any statements made by this company at face value."
Why? Here's one encounter he's had at his Tampa, Fla. branch:
Dick Kavacevich, Wells retired CEO…felt strongly that customers should be greeted when they entered the branch and that the visit should be a positive experience.
I can honestly state that no one ever greeted me when I entered my local branch. In fact, on one occasion, when I needed to speak with a platform person (my personal banker was no longer with the institution) I never got the opportunity. The bank officer made me wait a bit; came out of his office and entered the public bathroom; and then left the bank. Nothing was solved for me on that visit.
Here's another:
On a second occasion I entered the branch with a low six figure check. I needed some information concerning more than one issue related to this deposit. After searching out an employee, I was told that he could not handle the transactions and that there was no one at the branch who could assist me. He suggested I call the Wells customer service line and that someone there would find answers to my problems. I did as requested and was told that this problem would be better handled at the branch. So I returned to the branch.
It is interesting to note that no one at the branch suggested any investment to me but simply deposited the check. No one ever called me to indicate that there was over six figures sitting in a no interest checking account. The lack of contact on this issue is directly contrary to the bank's statements to analysts that these amounts are flagged and cross-selling options are suggested.
That's not the Wells Fargo the bank claims to be. Here's a statement from Wells:
While we do not comment on analyst reports, it is important to note that Wells Fargo conducts more than 60,000 surveys of its retail banking customers every month. Throughout the merger nearly eight out of 10 customers indicated they were "extremely satisfied" with their recent visit to a Wells Fargo retail banking store, the highest possible rating. During the second quarter 2012, customers again rated their experience in our stores at an all-time high, based on survey results.
Customer service is incredibly important and central to our vision and values at Wells Fargo, just one reason we survey our own customers as we know our most important feedback comes directly from them. We look to the data, we also recognize that we're only as good as our last interaction and we remain committed to putting our customers at the center of everything we do.
The more the interesting part about Bove's note today is that he's actually loves the bank–from an investor's point of view. He raised his target price on the bank as well as earnings estimates and calls it "undervalued." It gets even more interesting: It is clear that this is one of the nation's best run banking institutions. I have followed the company and its stock for decades and I am convinced that there is not a better run bank in the country," he says.
What?! Explain yourself Bove.
Here's the bottom line from the outspoken analyst: Wells Fargo is the best run bank in the country because it doesn't dwell much on customer service. He says Wells is successful because service is far less important there than effective financial management.
He adds, "What my Wells Fargo experience suggests is that a successful bank is one that keeps seeking new customers and selling them more products and not getting bogged down by offering service. Second, it may be that the management of the available funds to reduce possible loss is far more critical than spending a great deal of money on service."
That will be painful for Wells Fargo management to hear since it touts its service as key differentiator. Plus, it also lost a customer; Bove moved his accounts to JPMorgan Chase.
The good news for Wells? There's a lot: largest market capitalization among U.S. financials, no European debt worries since it's heavily focused on domestic operations, no downgrade from Moody's, no Libor investigation, it had a great quarter compared to bank rivals and it's still Warren Buffett's favorite bank–he's the largest shareholder.
If you want good – no, great – customer service come to Bank of America. They greet me every time I walk in, usually by name, and the transactions have been completed quickly and professionally at every branch I've been in, through the country. Any question I have is answered quickly by telephone or in person. (I have no connection with the bank other than as a customer.)
I agree with the article, as someone who has banked with Wellsfargo for almost 10 years, I repeatedly have to fight them on fees that are in error and get them reversed. The latest was they gave the state of California thousands of dollars out of my account without notifying me, I got California to reverse everything because I have nothing to do with that state and it indeed was an error. However, Wellsfargo Legal Processing department will not reverse the fee of $150 even though I can prove it was all reversed by California. I think Wellsfargo cares next to nothing about their customers in comparison to their fees. I on the other hand am just tired of dealing with their shenanigans and will be closing my WellsFargo account due to this final straw of nonesense.
Great! It sucks less than the other bank stocks . . . I can hardly think of a better reason to buy.
I'm not with you on this one. Just because (dramatically overvalued) Warren Buffett owns it, doesn't mean it's a good investment at this price.
I reached out to John Stumpf and his Board of Directors regarding a modification request gone awry. With a home underwater by $100,000 dollars and several foreclosures in the area, I reached out to the bank for a modification last August. One year later, with 13 agents assigned (yes 13 different agents), an in person visit with an underwriter who indicated all documents were complete (albeit she gave me a non-working number on Wells Fargo's letterhead), I am yet to receive any help. I read Wells Fargo's Values and Vision book and was disheartened to see how misaligned the tenets were with the actual daily actions of the bank. Wells Fargo is pillaging homeowners in the Bronx and there are very few people who can call them out. More needs to be done to investigate the alleged homepreservation workshops, their prime PR stunt, to see how many homeowners are actually being helped on the spot and 30 and 60 days after the workshop. Imagine a company that prides itself on customer service stringing along a family for 11 months? A horse and carriage? Expansion in Harlem? Try getting help from a company with a galloping horse — customers, families, mothers, daughters, sons, and fathers are the victims trodded upon.
I agree — Wells Fargo has TERRIBLE customer service. I have sat in their waiting room for 45 minutes before when there was only one person in line ahead of me, just to deposit a check. They contstantly tell you to call their customer service for the simplest of questions. We recently switched to PNC Bank in the same town and now when we walk in, we get greeted with a smile and by name, get a sucker for the kids and very helpful suggestions on how their services might better work for us. We were told by PNC when we opened our account that we were the third customer that week opening accounts and leaving Wells Fargo.
I got a Wells Fargo check from a friend and stopped by the local WF branch as I was in the area. A teller told me that he wouldn't cash the check until I talked to the "banker" seated over at the desk. He suggested I take a seat and the banker will be right with you. After waiting about 10 minutes and neither banker (there was 2 of them on duty) ever even glanced my way, I stood up, looked around disgustedly and walked out. I went to my local credit union where service is top notch, deposited the check and walked out all in all taking less than 5 minutes. As to my…..questions about customer service at a Wells Fargo bank I would simply turn it around on you – customer service at Wells Fargo?? What's that?? There isn't any.
Mr. Bove should come to Wells Fargo Pueblo, Colorado. It's an entirely different experience. Attentative from top to bottom. I'm pleased to be a Wells customer, both personal and commercial as well as using Wells Fargo advisors.
"Second, it may be that the management of the available funds to reduce possible loss is far more critical than spending a great deal of money on service."
This is spot on. As a management consultant, I helped set hold times for a broadband provider. When we modelled the cost of building and staffing a call center against the cost of customers churn due to long hold times, the mathematically correct solution was to put a single phone in an empty room at set hold times at forever.
Forgive me, I'm repenting.
Wow perhaps I should have invested in Wells Fargo instead of getting a mortgage and holding accounts with them. I am very frustrated in my recent dealings with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and perhaps this article explains their motive. The customer service I am currently experiencing has been absolutely terrible. I am a long time customer, but you would not believe it with the way I am being treated. So much for "Relationship Banking".
We had an insurable loss at our residence in April 2012. We have been out of our home since that date. Once we finally were able to receive funds from the Insurance carrier, we sent the check to Wells Fargo as directed along with all the requested documentation. Once they received the endorsed check, they have been reluctant to release ANY funds – citing different excuses each time I call. They are not cooperative and instead of trying to help me resolve this issue and start the rebuilding process, they now appear to be intentionally hindering my efforts to recover from our loss. Each time I call to check on the status they give me a new excuse as to why they still are not releasing any funds. The biggest problem seems that no one takes ownership of OUR problem. Each time you call, you have to go through the call center. Each time you get someone new to the case and they just rattle off the next excuse as to why they are refusing to release any funds. I have asked for a supervisor but there is not one available. I asked to have a supervisor call me back and am still waiting.
Appears I am not alone – check out all the others experiencing the same treatment http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/wells-fargo-property-loss-c259097.html
My family and I have been displaced since April. Now with Wells Fargo's lack of customer service or care, it is very apparent that we are not going to be able to get back into our house anytime soon. Some relationship!

Pretty chatty that cell phone!Friday, March 2nd, 2012 by Roberto Saracco
Cisco has released last month their (usual) forecast on data growth and staggering numbers are given on the increase of data communications based on cell phone.
As you can see in the graph on the left the expectation is that by 2016 the cell phones " data chatting" will exceed 120 EB per year, that is more than the total traffic we had in communications only 5 years ago and one fifth of the traffic we had on Internet in 2010 (670 EB).
I suggest to read the paper to get all their forecast.
What impressed me is the estimate of an 18 old growth in mobile data traffic in six years, that is slightly faster than the Moore's law (in the same period Moore's law would forecast a 16 fold growth).
This is clearly fueled by the growth of mobile phone, they expect the number of cell phones to equal the number of people on Earth by the end of 2012 to go on up to 1.4 cell phone per capita in 2016! Better screens are also playing a role in the forecasted increase of data traffic.
Personally, I think that part of this growth is going to be fueled by a progressive shift towards an all you can eat – flat rate. Possibly, for the next few years we are still going to see bundled offer with a data volume cap, but this is likely to increase in size and by 2016 I can easily predict that the data ceiling (the amount of data contained in the flat offer) will be significantly bigger than today's 500MB/1GB.
By the end of this decade I find difficult to believe that we won't have a real all you can eat data tariffing on mobile, as we already have on fixed line. Particularly for the youngster, we have seen that they are pretty good in consuming all what you allow them in the bundled price and never exceed the thresholds. Once Operator will learn how to make money indirectly they will start to increase the ceiling and that won't take long. At least, this is my bet.

FOXBOROUGH – The New England Patriots (3-2) will be on the road for the fourth time in the first six weeks of the 2012 season when they travel west to face the Seattle Seahawks (3-2) at CenturyLink Field Sunday. The game will feature the Patriots' top ranked offense against Seattle's top ranked defense.
Tom Brady will play at Seattle for the first time in his career. Brady has played an away game against every NFL team except San Francisco and Seattle. (Brady's only visit against Tampa Bay on the road in the regular season was played in London in 2009).
The Seattle game is the second meeting of four contests against the NFC West this year. The Patriots lost the home opener on Sept. 16, 20-18, to Arizona. New England will face St. Louis on Oct. 28 in London and will play San Francisco in a Sunday Night matchup on Dec. 16 at Gillette Stadium.
Sunday's trip to Seattle will be New England's second trip to the Pacific Northwest since the 1993 season and will be the 16th meeting between the two teams in the regular season. The Patriots leads the series 8-7.
Under the league's scheduling rotation introduced after realignment in 2002, the two teams will play every four years with New England winning in 2004 and 2008.
The series began in 1977, with the teams playing 13 times in 17 years, including two matchups in 1993 and six straight road games with Seattle heading to Massachusetts from 1986-93.
Here's five things you need to know about today's game.
1. Today's Broadcast (TV and Radio)
TV: This week's game will be televised on CBS at 4:05 p.m. Ian Eagle will provide play-by-play while Dan Fouts will serve as the broadcast analyst.
RADIO: Legendary play-by-play man Gil Santos will be joined by former Patriots quarterback and current 98.5 The Sports Hub personality, Scott Zolak. Tune in to 98.5 The Sports Hub to listen to Sunday's game.
2. Patriots-Seahawks Series at a Glance
The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will meet for the 16th time. This will be the second time the Patriots have played at Century Link Field following a 24-21 victory on Dec. 7, 2008. The Patriots and Seahawks played 12 times in a 14-year span from 1980-93, but have played only twice since then (2004 and 2008). The 2008 victory pushed the Patriots in front, 8-7, in the all-time series.
The Patriots have had the upper hand in road games against the Seahawks as they own a 4-2 record in games played in Seattle. The Patriots were 3-2 at the Kingdome (1976-1999) New England won six of the first eight games in the series, which began in 1977.

3. The Last Time the Patriots and Seahawks Met ...
The Patriots beat the Seahawks, 24-21 on Dec. 7, 2008.
The Patriots rallied from a 21-13 fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Seattle Seahawks 24-21. Wes Welker had a season high 12 receptions for 134 yards, and Sammy Morris's touchdown run with 2:44 remaining gave the Patriots their first lead of the day and provided the winning margin. Seattle was driving for a potential game-tying field goal or go-ahead
touchdown in the game's final minutes, but Brandon Meriweather sacked Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace and forced him to fumble near midfield on the first play after the 2-minute warning. Richard Seymour recovered the loose ball to preserve an exciting New England victory and keep pace in a tight AFC East race.
4. What to Watch for Sunday
- With one touchdown pass against Seattle, Tom Brady will extend his streak to 38 straight games with at least one touchdown pass and continue his third longest streak all-time, behind Drew Brees (48-current) and Johnny Unitas (47).
- Brady has 48 career 300-yard games in the regular season and needs one more to tie Warren Moon (49) for 7th place all-time.
- Stephen Gostkowski (7-of-10) needs one more 50-yard field goal to tie Adam Vinatieri (8-of-17) for most 50-yard field goals in Patriots history. Gostkowski has two 50-yarders so far in 2012 and can become the first Patriots player with three 50-yard field goals in a single season.
- Wes Welker has three straight 100-yard games and can tie a team mark if he reaches 100-yards receiving at Seattle. Randy Moss has the Patriots record with four straight 100-yard games in 2007. Welker (15) needs one more 10-plus catch game to break a tie with Andre Johnson (15) of Houston and Reggie Wayne (15) of Indianapolis for the most 10-plus reception games among active players.
- Welker needs one reception to extend his streak to 83 straight regular-season games with at least one reception as a member of the Patriots to extend his franchise record. Welker has an overall streak of 99 straight regular season games with at least one reception, including his time with the Miami Dolphins.
- Welker needs one more game with 10 catches and 100 yards to tie Jerry Rice (15) for the most such games in NFL history. Welker is tied with Andre Johnson (14) and Marvin Harrison (14) with 14 such games.
- Stevan Ridley has rushed for 100 yards in two consecutive games and can become the first Patriots player to rush for 100 yards in three straight games since Curtis Martin closed out the 1995 season with five straight 100-yard games.
- The Patriots have had two straight games with 200 yards or more rushing. If they reach 200 yards rushing at Seattle it will be the first time they have had a stretch of three straight games with 200 yards rushing since having a stretch of four straight 200-yard games in 1978.
5. Patriots-Seahawks Connections
Former Patriots
- Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll served as the Patriots Head Coach from 1997-99. Carroll led the Patriots to an AFC East title in his first year as head coach and helped the team return to the playoffs the following season.
- Seahawks Quarterbacks Coach Carl Smith spent time in New England during Carroll's tenure as Patriots Head Coach and served as the Assistant Head Coach/Quarterbacks Coach in 1997 and the Tight Ends Coach from 1998-99. Under Smith's tutelage Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe was named to the AFC Pro Bowl team in 1997 and set career highs in touchdown passes (28) and passer rating (87.7).
Former Seahawks
- Patriots receiver Deion Branch was traded from the Patriots to Seattle for a first-round draft selection on Sept. 11 following the first regular-season game of the 2006 season. Branch played for the Seahawks until 2010 when he was traded back to the Patriots on Oct. 12 in exchange for a fourth round draft pick.
- Patriots linebacker Niko Koutouvides was originally drafted by Seattle in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft. Koutouvides produced 60 special teams tackles during his four seasons with the Seahawks (2004-07) and was part of the Seahawks' 2005 NFC Championship team.
Area Connections
- Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Darrel Bevell coached wide receivers at the University of Connecticut from 1998-99.
- Seahawks guard John Moffitt is a native of Guilford, Conn. and attended Notre Dame High School in West Haven, Conn. Moffit was a member of the New England Top 20 team on Rivals.com and earned first-team All-State honors from the Hartford Courant.
- Seahawks tackle Breno Giacomini is a native of Malden, Mass. and was a three-year starter at Malden High School. Giacomini earned Greater Boston league all-star honors as a senior and played both defensive end and linebacker.
- Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka is a native of Needham, Mass. and attended Middlebury College in Middlebury, VT. Hauschka played soccer and lacrosse at Middlebury before attending graduate school at North Carolina State where he kicked for the Wolfpack.

Malibu's patented "Wedge" and MLS system, standard equipment on all Wakesetters, allows for incremental adjustment of the boat's wake to match the varying skill level of riders.
Wrap-around lounge, which will easily accommodate four to five adults, includes an entertainment center, 27 quart cooler, and conveniently placed grab-rails and drink holders.
Malibu's "Wedge," a patented system for increasing the boat's wake is standard equipment on Wakesetters, and available on all of their hulls.
A stereo and cooler are just 2 of the features in this great cockpit. A removable table installs easily for refreshments or stows quickly when its time for serious action.
Adjustable FunMalibu's newest cross-trainer, the Wakesetter 21 XTi, combines the performance and handling of a straight-drive inboard with a practical seating arrangement and sunpad typically found only on V-drive boats. Malibu's patented "Wedge" and MLS system, standard equipment on all Wakesetters, allows for incremental adjustment of the boat's wake to match the varying skill level of riders. Add one of six engine packages and a wakeboard tower and she becomes an extraordinarily versatile tow boat.The centerpiece of the boat's interior, the sunpad, is located oddly enough, in the center of the boat. I say "oddly enough" because a sunpad is characteristically seen at the stern of a V-drive boat, above the engine. A straight-drive inboard engine is traditionally covered by a fiberglass or upholstered island in the center of the cockpit with room to walk along either side, but with no inherent value to the passengers. The Wakesetter instead utilizes a peninsula extending out from the starboard side of the boat just aft of the helm seat. This unique feature covers the engine and a huge storage compartment with a large sunpad, and creates a wrap-around lounge aft of the peninsula.The wrap-around lounge, which will easily accommodate four to five adults, includes an entertainment center, 27 quart cooler, and conveniently placed grab-rails and drink holders. A removable table installs easily for refreshments or stows quickly when its time for serious action. A filler cushion would have been a nice option here, although a filler is provided for the forward seating area, turning the bow into a cozy place to lounge in the sun. The helm seat slides forward and back like an automobile seat, and even includes an adjustable lumbar support. A flip-up seat bottom acts as a booster seat when a higher vantage point is required for docking or close quarter maneuvering. The helm includes full engine instrumentation, a speedometer, and air and water temperature gauges. Our test boat also featured the Perfect Pass cruise control system which enables the helmsman to dial in the desired speed or engine RPM and return to that setting instantaneously.On the port side adjacent to the helm, the rear facing observers' seat is wide enough for two or three passengers and opens to reveal a gigantic storage area under the seat and forward under the console. This compartment is designed to store several wakeboards out of the way when other activities take precedence. Additional storage is located beneath the seats throughout, in a large net under the port gunnel, and in a locking glove box behind the windshield on the port side.While the layout is impressive, the wake is what Wakesetters are all about. Malibu's "Wedge," a patented system for increasing the boat's wake is standard equipment on Wakesetters, and available on all of their hulls. The Wedge is essentially an aluminum "wing" mounted on a retractable bracket under the swim platform. The bracket extends several inches beneath the bottom of the boat, positioning the wing in clean water under the boat. This "reverse-hydrofoil" has an eight-degree down angle that pulls the stern into the water. All Wakesetters are also equipped with MLS (Malibu Launch System), a ballast tank system that pumps in 550 pounds of water into the bow of the boat for even larger, rounder wakes. Between the two systems, wake size can be tailored to suite skiers, novice and intermediate wakeboarders, or expert riders. The wedge system is well constructed. The anodized aluminum wing is attached to Nibral struts and mounted to an aluminum bracket on the transom. During our testing I found the Wedge difficult to retract; accomplished by reaching one hand through a hatch in the swim platform, releasing the spring-loaded stainless steel locking pins, and pulling the assembly up until it locked automatically beneath the swim platform. Deploying the Wedge proved a bit more difficult. On our test boat, the mechanism would not automatically lock in the down position. I had to reach both arms through a relatively small opening and fumble with the locking pins while pushing the mechanism in place. After a little practice, I was able to accomplish this in just a few seconds, but a larger hatch in the swim platform and/or a self-locking design for securing the struts in the down position would make this inventive system a bit easier to use.All three of the Malibu's I tested performed impeccably, but the straight drive inboard boats, the Wakesetter and a Response LXi, were noticeably sweeter than the boat with V-drive propulsion. With the weight of the engine amidships the straight drive boats planed off effortlessly, remaining remarkably level through their entire speed range. No trim tabs necessary on these boats! I was thoroughly impressed with the ride, performance, and handling of the Wakesetter 21, which was equipped with Malibu's 335 horsepower Monsoon engine and rack and pinion steering. It was quite evident that the company's designers strive for perfection.Malibu's Wakesetter series has proven to be a popular design. With an inventive layout and painstaking design and craftsmanship, I can see why. Now with two sizes to choose from, the Wakesetter's popularity should continue to grow.- Captain Vince Daniello

Normally, I would wait a couple of weeks until the winners of some of the most important annual awards in pro football have been handed out and then give my opinion on how right or wrong we got it. This year, I can't wait for two reasons. The first is that, as often as not, we get it wrong, and I'd like to avoid seeing that happen again this year if I can offer some compelling arguments for voters to consider. The second is that this year three of the most important awards — Most Valuable Player, Comeback Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year — offer some of the most compelling races we've ever seen.
From where I sit, the race for the NFL's 2012 MVP is all about J.J. Watt, Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, but before I start testifying, I think it's important to establish the criteria for the winner.
All too often, voters confuse the best player in the league in a given season — or the most productive player — with the MVP. For those guys, you can vote for Player of the Year or Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. If that was the discussion we were having right now you would have to add Calvin Johnson, Aldon Smith, Brandon Marshall, Von Miller, Arian Foster and others to the ballot.
But I believe the MVP has to be the player who was the most instrumental and indispensable to his team, having an outstanding regular season and accomplishing great things. Where would the Texans, Broncos, Vikings, Patriots and Packers be without Watt, Manning, Peterson, Brady and Rodgers?
I will not vote for Rodgers or Brady this year because I believe there's a chance their clubs still would be playoff teams without them, and both have had a couple stretches where they weren't as good as they could have been. Three or four weeks ago, I would have voted for Watt, but the Texans recently have become quite pedestrian and Watt, while still playing great, hasn't been able to do anything about it. I believe this vote comes down to Manning and Peterson, because each has been the difference between their clubs being contenders or irrelevant. In the end, I'll vote for Manning for MVP because he has taken the Broncos from afterthought to legitimate Super Bowl contender, and as great as Peterson has been — in fact, he has had the better individual season — the Vikings just aren't a Super Bowl threat.
Comeback Player of the Year is a two-horse race, also between Manning and Peterson, with Jamaal Charles a distant third, and I believe this one has to go to Peterson. As great and valuable as Manning has been, his comeback has been meticulously planned and orchestrated over a more than reasonable time frame, and I don't believe there was any reason to believe he wouldn't come back as well as he has.
Peterson's season, on the other hand, has been nothing short of a miracle. Most players aren't even playing again yet 7-8 months after a complete knee reconstruction. Peterson hasn't just played, he has been better than ever. Even though he has been the best running back in football for a number of years, he has had one of the greatest seasons by a running back in NFL history while carrying an entire team on his back as a shocking playoff contender. I believe "A.D." should be a slam dunk for this award.
The Rookie of the Year Award will come down to Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck and Alfred Morris. All have had memorable and outstanding rookie campaigns. But Luck's and Morris' individual accomplishments just don't measure up to those of RG3 or Wilson. Some will penalize RG3 in a match race with Wilson because of his far loftier draft status, and that will be a mistake. As great and surprising as Wilson has been, RG3's numbers are clearly superior, and what he has meant to the Redskins has been, too. Many folks expected Seattle to be a wild-card team with or without Wilson, but nobody saw the Redskins battling for an NFC East title, and it has happened almost exclusively because of Griffin. To give the Rookie of the Year Award to anyone but RG3 would be a gross injustice.
While other award choices might not be as easy, to me, these three should be as clear as day.
