Linehan: HC Rams.
Looks to be true according to the Chicago Tribune.
Rams reportedly bypass Rivera
January 19, 2006
Chicago Tribune
The Rams, according to CBS Sportsline, will announce their next coach no later than Monday. And Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, who met with the team Wednesday, is not expected to be the man.
League sources confirmed Dolphins offensive coordinator Scott Linehan is the Rams' choice. Linehan, 42, initially was considered a long-shot candidate because he has only four years of NFL experience.
Rams | Team names Linehan head coach
Wed, 18 Jan 2006 20:15:56 -0800
Jeff Darlington, of the Palm Beach Post, reports the St. Louis Rams have named Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Scott Linehan their new head coach. A news conference will be held before the end of the week to formally announce the decision.
Dolphins | Baggett could go with Linehan
Wed, 18 Jan 2006 18:40:39 -0800
Jason Cole, of the Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins wide receivers coach Charlie Baggett could go with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan to the St. Louis Rams if Linehan is hired to fill the Rams head coaching vacancy. Previous reports have Linehan as the favorite to win the job and could be offered the position sometime this week.
Re: Linehan: HC Rams.
This will only make the Pepper trade rumors grow more ..
Re: Linehan: HC Rams.
Let me be the first:
Pep for Marc Bulger, Marshall Faulk and a second-round draft choice.BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE
Re: Linehan: HC Rams.
I was just think Pep for Bulger ... I doubt we really would get anything else throw in .. maybe sawp first-rounders ... which would not be a bad deal.

Re: Linehan: HC Rams.
First off, good for Linehan. It would be nice to have him at OC still. Secondly, I would not Marc Bulger on the Vikings if they gave him to us.MC's run away when I kick it

Re: Linehan: HC Rams.
Hmmm, considering the calibur of QB DC was under Linehan, I would expect to get more then just Bulger and swapping draft picks. I still don't think, we are going to trade DC, nor do I want us to (but admittedly, the idea is starting to grow on me a little).
Anyway, good for Linehan. I was sorry to see him go.Zeus wrote:

Rams to hire Miami coordinator Linehan as coach
Good News for a great coach!
Continuing the runaway trend toward hiring first-time head coaches, the St. Louis Rams have chosen Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Scott Linehan as the successor to the deposed Mike Martz and Wednesday night entered into contract discussions with him.
Barring a hangup in negotiations, which is not likely, Linehan will be introduced as the Rams' head coach by the end of the week. Team and league sources as well as a source close to Linehan confirmed to ESPN.com that the Dolphins assistant had been offered the job.
The Dolphins' offense ranked seventh in the AFC under Scott Linehan this past season.
The choice of Linehan came Wednesday evening after St. Louis officials concluded the last interview with the three finalists, a meeting with highly regarded Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. All three finalists -- Linehan, Rivera and San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron -- had traveled to Los Angeles this week for the follow-up interviews.
It is believed the decision came down to Linehan over Cameron, as Rams officials had come to believe in the last few days that a coach with an offensive background would best fit their team. Rivera met last week with the Rams and, while he was said to have been impressive, he was not as detailed as the others in his ideas for staffing.
The consensus around the NFL earlier Wednesday was that Linehan and Cameron were very close in the running as the Rams continued to deliberate the strengths and weaknesses of all the candidates. During an informal brainstorming session among team officials last week, Linehan rated as the most impressive candidate.
Despite reports that Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders might be a late entry into the St. Louis coaching derby, Rams sources said he was not interviewed.
In all, the Rams interviewed seven candidates. The only candidate with previous head coaching experience was Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Fassel, the onetime head coach of the New York Giants.
Linehan, 42, has only been in the NFL four seasons, serving as offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings (2002-04) and then the Dolphins (2005). He is regarded as a bright and creative offensive mind, a coach who favors the power running game linked to a vertical passing attack.
Before joining the Minnesota staff, Linehan had a 14-year career in the college ranks.
The Rams will become the sixth team to hire a first-time head coach rather than one with prior experience. Of the seven teams that have chosen new coaches in the past week -- including the Detroit Lions, who will introduce former Tampa Bay defensive line aide Rod Marinelli as their new coach on Thursday -- only the Chiefs' Herman Edwards had previously been an NFL head coach.

Re: Rams to hire Miami coordinator Linehan as coach
If Tice were to fill one of the open spots, It would say alot about coaching in recent history in MN. We'd have Tice, Green, Linehan, Dungy, and Billick who have been cordinators or coaches of the vikings. Does any other team have that many ties to current head coaches?
Re: Rams to hire Miami coordinator Linehan as coach
Wow Linehan climbed the ranks quickly. He hasn't even been on a winning team during the past two years. I wish him good luck nonetheless"I hate when threads are destroyed by facts and logic."

I found this paragraph interesting.
Indeed, of the 76 players who have made an All-Star team between 2005 and 2014, only eight were second-round picks (Ginobili, Millsap, Gasol, Carlos Boozer, Mo Williams, Rashard Lewis, Gilbert Arenas and Mehmet Okur). One other All-Star (Ben Wallace) went undrafted. Who made up the rest of the All-Stars? A jaw-dropping 53 lottery picks and 14 non-lottery first-round selections. To underline this point, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has more All-Star Game selections over the last decade (10) than all currently-active second-round picks combined (Ginobili, Millsap, Gasol, Boozer, Williams and Lewis combine for 9).
So when I read about questions of the worth of high draft picks, I'll keep this in mind....though not all High draft picks pan out, the odds are, a player who makes a difference was one.

The Blue Devils (0-5) took possession to open the extra session only to see Parrish's Chris Evans knock the ball loose from tailback Zack Smith and the Tornadoes (2-3) recovered the fumble. On the next play, Reginald Harris carried the ball into the end zone from 10 yards out to give Parrish the 6-0 win.
"It felt so good to score that touchdown," Harris said. "Our defense played great all night. We knew we needed to score, and we did it. The line set up the blocks and I was able to make the score."
Parrish Head Coach Jarrod Wooten said he was proud of his team for its effort.
"I'm super proud of our guys for surviving," he said. "These guys fought through a tough game and picked up a win. We needed this one."
The two rivals have played to a scoreless tie after regulation two other times in 85 games — in 1934 and 1943.
Each of those games ended in a tie. Friday's game marked the first time in the history of the rivalry that Parrish and Cordova have finished a game in overtime.
"Both teams fought hard," Wooten said. "I told our guys if we would stop them in overtime that I knew we would score."
Neither teams' offense were able to get into a rhythm throughout the game. Parrish finished with 212 total yards, while Cordova gained a total of 187.
Jermichael Harris led the Tornadoes with 142 yards on 15 carries.
Along with scoring the game-winning touchdown, Reginald Harris carried the ball 11 times for 61 yards.
Cordova was led by fullback Andrew Minor, who finished with 105 yards on 23 carries.
Both teams had opportunities to score in regulation. Late in the second quarter,
Parrish drove 80 yards in 12 plays, but was denied when quarterback Bryant Atkins was brought down by several Cordova defenders on fourth-and-goal from the 5-yard-line.
In the fourth quarter, Cordova, behind the running of Smith and Minor, marched down within the Parrish 1-yard-line, but squandered the opportunity when the snap was mishandled.
While Friday's game was a nonregion game, both teams will return to region play next week.
Cordova (0-3 in Class 3A, Region 7) will host Winston County.
Parrish (0-3 in Class 1A, Region 5) will travel to Pickens County.

CULVER CITY (CNS) - A decapitated man's body was found just outside the parking structure at the Kaiser Permanente facility in Culver City this afternoon, police said.
A security guard called police just before 3 p.m. to report the discovery of the body at 12001 Washington Blvd., said Lt. Omar Corrales.
Corrales said he had received conflicting reports, but it appears the head had been separated from the body and was found next to it.
He said the parking structure is definitely in Culver City territory, although other parts of the building are in the Mar Vista area, which is policed by the LAPD.

CATEGORIES MoviesAcclaimed movie critic Roger Ebert revealed on his blog last night that his cancer has recurred and he will be reducing his reviewing duties at the Chicago Sun-Times.
He learned in December that a painful hip fracture was actually the result of cancer. As he undergoes radiation treatment, he is taking a "leave of presence."
"It means I am not going away," Ebert explained. "My intent is to continue to write selected reviews but to leave the rest to a talented team of writers handpicked and greatly admired by me. What's more, I'll be able at last to do what I've always fantasized about doing: reviewing only the movies I want to review."
The 70-year-old writer was first diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002. Cancerous growths were also found on his salivary glands a year later. Surgeries to combat the disease left him without the ability to speak.
Ebert first began writing for the Sun-Times 46 years ago today, April 3, and became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 1975. His writing, as well as the movie review TV show he once hosted with the late Gene Siskel, have made him a cultural icon.
Despite the recurrence of cancer, Ebert plans on writing for the newspaper and his own site for some time. He'll be relaunching RogerEbert.com and running it with his wife of 20 years, Chaz.
"It really stinks that the cancer has returned and that I have spent too many days in the hospital. So on bad days I may write about the vulnerability that accompanies illness," he wrote. "On good days, I may wax ecstatic about a movie so good it transports me beyond illness."

NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- The U.S. economy is losing hundreds of billions of dollars because too many employees flat out hate their jobs.
OK, the official take on that subject doesn't use those terms. Instead, workplace analysts say more and more workers are "disengaged" at work, and that's the term Gallup uses in its study, State of the American Workplace.
Gallup reports that even increased employee perks and flexible schedules aren't making workers feel better about their jobs.
Related Articles
Call it hate or call it disengagement, but that negative sentiment from American workers is, according to Gallup, fueling "significant implications for the economy, and for individual companies" as sour attitudes toward jobs lead to decreased productivity:
- Companies ranked in the top 25% of having "engaged workers" have significantly higher productivity, profitability and customer service than companies in the bottom quartile.
- U.S. companies with an average of 9.3 engaged employees for every one disengaged employee had a 147% higher earnings per share compared with their competition, while companies with 2.6 engaged workers for every one disengaged worker showed a 2% lower EPS average.
- So-called "active disengagement" in the workplace costs the U.S. economy up to $550 billion per year, Gallup says.
- Only about 22% of U.S. workers are "engaged and thriving," Gallup adds.
Why is that last figure so low?
In many cases, employees are unhappy because they lack one or more things at work, such as recognition, advancement opportunity, work-life balance and/or a positive relationship with their manager, says Paul McDonald, senior executive director at the staffing service company Robert Half.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The City of Peoria has been selected as a national finalist for the coveted All-America City Award.
Out of thousands of cities from around the country that sent in applications, twenty have been chosen as front-runners for the award.
From these, ten will be presented with top honors.
Peoria's application was drawn up by the Chamber of Commerce's Young Professionals Organization, something Mayor Jim Ardis feels reflects the positive future and growth of the city.
"As you travel around and talk to a lot of people, having the All-American City Award really is pretty prestigious, it's not just one of those awards that everyone who applies for it gets it," the Mayor said. "It's a tough process, it's a grueling process."
A conference will be held in Denver, Colorado, this June where the top 20 cities will argue their case during a ten minute presentation to a national jury.
This would be the fourth time for Peoria to receive this honor.
The city was among the ten winners in 1953, '66 and '89.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We wanted a card where the date really stood out, as well as one that had room for a fair amount of text and several pictures. After looking at tons of options on several different sites, this design easily won out. It was easy to edit & add pictures. The finished product looked great & we've received lots of positive feedback!"
"I loved how simple it was to create the card. Turnover time for the proofs was wonderfully quick. The colors were very true to life which was comforting. Everyone thought the cards were really cute!"
"I personalized the font and colors to match better with the pictures I selected. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the cards when they arrived because I was initially concerned that they were not glossy like previous Save the Date cards I had seen in the past. Now I love the look of the matte finish and think it looks a lot more classy. I think the trick to making your save the date cards shine is to select high quality pictures of you and your fiance looking your best. Everyone keeps commenting on how great the pictures look..."
"My Fiance and I chose to send out save the dates since we have many people we are inviting that live far away from us. I chose the smiling squares. The template was super easy to work with and hardly took any time at all! What's even better is that people thought i was the one that was super creative because the template was so great. So, bottom line, the paper is thick, delivery is quick and overall quality is very good (i am skeptical of online purchases sometimes) I have received countless comments on how cute our save the date is - I would definately use Wedding Paper Divas again. Thanks!"

The Herald Bulletin
---- — It has been a tradition for our family to make at least one summer trip to Turkey Run Park. Having two fearless sons, it seemed more practical than visiting the art museum or anything else with breakables in an enclosed space. And now that we have a kicking-climbing-yelling-shooting grandson it doesn't appear the tradition is going to fade away anytime soon.
To be blunt, it's a place where you can turn the little heathens loose and let them burn up a lot of energy. It won't cost you much but a few Band-Aids.
We had heard rumors that the pedestrian suspension bridge across Sugar Creek was closed. This was cause for significant concern, as the bridge was the connection to our favorite trails in the park.
But we packed up our cooler and the 4-year-old and went anyway. Surely the Turkey Run official people would have made some alternate arrangements to cross the river, I reasoned. Maybe a rope to swing across? A ferry? Strategically placed rocks?
That something was a note on the brochure that we must follow trail one to the "Narrows Covered Bridge" in order to access the other side of the park.
This was great news. There was another bridge, another way to cross the river. Problem solved. Plus it sounded like a nice bridge with a roof and everything.
We set out on our quest to find the Narrows Covered Bridge.
About one-half mile into the treacherous, bug infested, muddy and sometimes water-logged journey, my grandson Cayden stopped and pointed up toward a boulder perched at the top of a steep hill.
"Papaw I wanna cwimb up there."
My husband Seth, who was sweating so profusely he looked like he had been swimming with his clothes on, glared at his grandson.
"Well climb up there."
"Pawaw I too scared." I had never heard Cayden Timmons claim to be scared to do anything.
Seth agreed with my thoughts. "Oh since when? It's probably just a phase."
"No I not a phase! GO WIT ME on dat hill!"
Seth groaned then, like a bear waking up from hibernation. I watched the two of them climb the hill holding hands. From behind they resembled Shrek and a munchkin. Sometimes it didn't appear that Cayden's feet were touching the ground.
When they came back down, Cayden's backside was muddy and Seth needed CPR.
We kept walking. We finally came upon the Narrows Covered Bridge. Which was built in 1882.
"It's awful old," I said. "Reckon it's safe?"
"It's fine. I'm hungry. And if my blood sugar drops we're gonna have a problem." Seth had clearly stopped having fun, probably about a mile back.
We crossed the bridge and forged ahead for miles. Cayden got his feet wet. Seth felt hypoclycemish. I needed a bathroom.
We finished hiking our preferred trails and reversed course, knowing that we had to backtrack and cross Narrows Covered bridge to get back to our car.
That's when Cayden plopped down on a log. He frowned and his little shoulders seem to sag.
"I tired. I had nough of Tukey Wun," he announced.
There is no arguing with a 4-year-old when he poops out. I heaved him to my shoulders. His wet feet dangled over my chest, his head drooped on my head. After a few minutes I passed him to his Papa for his turn as a pack mule.
Seth stepped back, adjusted the kid on his shoulders — then paused and took a long look at my shirt.
"What in the world is wrong with you?"
I looked down, and saw two nearly perfect round muddy wet spots strategically (and noticeably) staining my light-colored shirt. If one had to guess, it would appear I was lactating chocolate milk.
As far as I was concerned, it was time to go home.
The officials at Turkey Run had anticipated the needs of grandmas and grandpas visiting the park. A small sign was hammered to a tree near the bridge. "SHUTTLE SERVICE" with an arrow pointing in the right direction.
We shuttled.
We can hardly wait till next year.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter

Monty Williams knows some of his decisions in Wednesday's night's loss to the Lakers, in which his team gave up a 21-point third-quarter lead, were befuddling.
He'd like you to know this – if he had to do it all over again, there's a good chance things would be different.
"Yes," Williams said Friday after the team's first practice since the painful defeat. "I'd do it differently in the third quarter (as well as the fourth), when it started to snowball. Any time you lose a game like that, hindsight is 15/20. You feel bad about everything you do.
"So, yes, I probably would do it differently."
The Hornets built a 25-point first-half lead on the Lakers, a team playing the second night of a road-road back-to-back.
And New Orleans took a 93-75 lead into the fourth quarter. It appeared the Hornets were set to break a nine-game losing streak to Los Angeles.
That's when Williams pulled forward Anthony Davis, sitting the rookie and former No. 1 overall pick. Everything went downhill from there as the Lakers' Kobe Bryant took over and Los Angeles' Dwight Howard abused the paint.
Bryant scored 18 of his game-high 42 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of the Lakers' final 16 points. Howard, meanwhile, grabbed eight rebounds, blocked three shots and scored three points.
"I don't care what anyone says, I'm not putting Anthony on Dwight Howard in that situation," Williams said. "In a pinch, I probably could have done it a couple of times, but hindsight is always a lot clearer. And when you have a lead, you don't always expect to lose it the way we lose it. So yeah, I'm sure I probably would've done some things differently."
The Hornets already were down a player with Jason Smith requiring surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Additionally, Austin Rivers left the game after breaking a bone in his right hand and didn't return.
Afterwards, Williams said Davis was having some discomfort from his sprained left shoulder. That didn't keep him from putting Davis back in the game with very little time left to stop the bleeding.
It didn't work, though, and the Lakers pushed ahead for good, closing the game on a 20-0 run.
Wednesday was the second time in a week New Orleans had given up a late lead to a team playing in its second of back-to-back games. Orlando reeled off a 17-5 run to send the Hornets to defeat Monday night.
Ultimately, Williams holds himself accountable.
"Defensively, we had a number of breakdowns and that falls square on my shoulders," the coach said. "When you have that many breakdowns in one quarter, that's something that I have to take a look in the mirror and make sure I have guys in the right spots, and make sure they're doing the right things."

By most measures this year's version of the Washington boys tennis has been a success. Heading into sectional the Hatchets finished second in the Big 8 Conference to perennial powerhouse Jasper, boast a season record of 17-3, and captured two invitational crowns. "We've been on a pretty good roll," said coach Jason Johnston. "Now, we want to win a sectional."
This year's Hatchets have had plenty of senior leadership starting with the No. 1 doubles team of Tyler Stoll and Corey Thompson. "Corey started the season playing number two singles and then about seven matches into the season we moved him to strengthen our doubles and maybe pick up an extra point when sectionals came around," said Johnston. "It took them a couple of matches before they got comfortable together, but now they look really good."
With Thompson going to doubles another senior stepped up. "Jacob Luttrell has moved into the No. 2 singles and played well," said Johnston. "We're also pleased with the play of junior Michael Ramsey at No. 3 singles."
Lucas Miller is No. 1 singles. "He has had a good season," said Johnston. "He is a sophomore and sometimes gets overpowered by some of his older opponents, but he has won 12 matches against every other schools best players."
Junior John Harner and sophomore Jake Bedwell round out the squad at No. 2 doubles. "Bedwell and Miller are the first guys to come up through our Quick Start Program that we started several years ago," explained Johnston. "It's basically Little League for tennis. They play on smaller courts with smaller rackets, less lively balls. Those kids are now moving into high school. We have athletes with experience with having a racket in their hands."
The result is also a deeper squad than in the past. There are 17 players on the Hatchet tennis team. The reserves have lost only one match. "In the past we were lucky to have enough guys to field a varsity team," said Johnston. "We have challenge matches where some of the younger guys try to get varsity time. There is a lot of internal push in practice and that makes everyone better. We have four or five guys on the reserve squad that could play varsity at a lot of schools around here. Some of them have even worked their way into a few varsity matches and had success."

Amarillo, Texas - With the ongoing drought continuing to affect our area, most of us were hoping this most recent round of moisture would help.
Our current moisture level is eight inches below where it should be, and Amarillo's clay soil isn't helping.
Areas in the southeast panhandle have what Ag Life tells us is sandy soil.
This type of soil absorbs water at a faster pace than clay soil.
Brandon Boughen from Ag Life took us outside to actually show the lack of impact of the recent snow.
He gathered soil from under two inches of melting snow, and it was bone dry.
Then, he dug up soil from a patch of where snow had recently melted and didn't find a drop of water either.
Brandon Boughen says, "it will add to our overall goal. We're certainly better off this year than we were last year. As far as making a significant difference, I don't see it happening."
Different types of snow can also have different impacts on the ongoing dry spell as well.

(Princeton, NJ) The Program in Visual Arts at Princeton University will present an exhibition of paintings by Jaewon Choi, a senior in the Visual Arts Certificate Program. The exhibition will be on view weekdays in the Lucas Gallery at the Lewis Center for the Arts, 185 Nassau Street, February 23 through 28; an opening reception, where visitors can meet the artist, will be held February 23 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.
Titled "Frogs & Forms," the exhibition features paintings of the human form and of frogs. "I don't think about my paintings in terms of the syntax of language but strictly in imagery,' notes Choi, "and therefore I prefer to let the images 'speak' for themselves, rather than provide the viewer with language that attempts unsatisfactorily to embody what I hope to convey. One idea about my paintings that I can satisfactorily put into words is my ongoing fascination with paradoxes, things that exist by both refuting and embracing their identities," she continues. "But perhaps that is really a truer description of me than my work."
Most of the paintings in the exhibit are large-scale, one taking over an entire wall of the gallery.
Choi is a physics major and pursuing a certificate in Visual Arts at the Lewis Center. After taking summer intensives at Parsons The New School for Design and at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University after her freshman year, Choi began taking art courses at Princeton and eventually decided to seek a certificate. She resided in Berlin and in Paris the summer between her freshman and sophomore years studying art at museums and galleries and developing her own work. Last summer, following her junior year, she was accepted into a painting residency program at Tyler School of Art where she participated in a group show, "Baby Come Back," at the Crane Gallery in Philadelphia. Her forthcoming show "Frogs & Forms" is her first solo exhibition.
"I absolutely love studying physics at Princeton,' states Choi. "It opened the door to a mysterious world that was not any bit less beautiful than art." She notes that fully pursuing studies in both physics and art has been a challenge in terms of course load and with the requirement of two senior thesis projects. She asserts, however, her choice to pursue art along with physics "soon became something less of a choice than a necessity, something as natural as having both a day and a night and indispensable to who I am."
The Lucas Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free.
Following "Frogs & Forms" other exhibitions and screenings of work by seniors in Visual Arts and Film/Video will be presented in the Lucas Gallery, The Guggenheim Gallery of Whitman College, The James S. Hall '34 Memorial Gallery of Butler College, and the James M. Stewart '32 Theater. The season will close with an extravaganza group show of Junior Independent work in Butler College in April and a Class Day senior "all-star" show in the Lucas Gallery in May.

On a coveted shelf at home, Laney Mungo holds the Miss Pageland Teen USA 2013 crown. But in her heart, the beautiful high school senior holds a very special place for animals.
Laney operates her very own foundation the Laney's Furever Home Project to help find forever homes for unwanted animals.
But this latest rescue would take her by private plane more than 300 miles away to Canton, Georgia.
Pageland Pilot Billy Hogge volunteered his time and his plane to fly her there to pick up a beagle mix named Tex. Tex was given up as an owner surrender and due to be euthanized before Laney made the call to hold him.
"A family had him and they could no longer keep him and they were giving him up to a shelter and the shelter was going to euthanize him," said Laney.
Our camera was there as the plane left Pageland and made the one and a half hour flight to GA. At the airport is Canton is where they met a very grateful "Tex" and brought him back home.
Tex rode in coach the whole way home, and Laney is fostering him at her house. But with 5 other dogs, she needs to find him a less crowded home. A place he can call his Furrever home.
If you're interested in adopting Tex, you can contact Laney's Furever Home Project at 843-672-7659.
For more on Laney's bid for Miss SC visit www.misssouthcarolinausa.com
The Miss USA Organizations has many charitable organizations including Gilda's Club, USO, and Susan G Komen for the Cure. Laney's personal cause is Laney's Furever Home Project.

responds: First of all, LVL is also sold in
depths of 7 1/4, 9 1/4, and 11 1/4 inches to match
standard stick-framing sizes. Take a look at the LP
Gang-Lam site
www.louisianapacific.com/products/) or the Trus
Joist Microllam site
for example. However, LVL is also available in
nonstandard sizes like 9 1/2 and 11 7/8 inches all
the way up to 24 inches deep. You will find that
the deeper 9 1/2-inch and 11 7/8-inch versions
carry a little more load than the 9 1/4-inch and 11
1/4-inch stock, but that's not why distributors
push nonstandard depths. It's actually because the
manufacturers don't want you to mix engineered wood
with sawn lumber. Look at the product literature
for I-joists, which are made by the same companies
that sell LVL. You will see that they sell 9
1/2-inch and 11 7/8-inch I-joists as well, not 9
1/4- or 11 1/4-inch.
Swelling, shrinkage, and stability
characteristics of engineered lumber are much
different than those of sawn lumber, so mixing is
discouraged. That's why there's been a trend toward
engineered wood floor systems, which use a
combination of LVLs and I-joists but no dimension
lumber. Nevertheless, manufacturers realize that
builders will have projects where matching sawn
lumber is required, especially in remodeling, so
they also offer "standard" sizes.

local family is still searching for answers in the death of their son, Jake
Limberios, and a popular television show may help them with that.
grand jury has been meeting behind closed doors in Fremont since last week to
determine if someone should be charged in Jake's death. His father Mike has
been there, too, waiting for any details to come to light.
hopes the grand jury will see that his 19-year-old son Jake did not take his
own life in March of 2012, as the coroner ruled his death. Jake's parents
believe someone else in the Sandusky County home he was at fired the gun.
and Friday at 4 p.m., Jake's parents will tell their story to Dr. Phil McGraw
on WTOL 11. They go through what happened and sit on set with two witnesses who
maintain they did not fire the gun.
was an accident that happened that night, you guys," said Brittany, one of the
witnesses on the show. "And that was your son accidentally shooting himself. He
did it."
Mike and his wife have a different opinion of what happened that night.
don't think that these kids are telling the truth," he said.
told Dr. Phil convinces the witnesses to take a polygraph test to get to the
bottom of things. The Limberios family attorney, Dan McGookey, says the show
could play a role in the investigation.
they will, you know, show part of the show to the grand jury members," McGookey
said. "They could do that, I believe, if they wanted to. Whatever they do, I
have no idea."
results of the witnesses' polygraph tests will be revealed on Friday's show,
bringing a dramatic conclusion to the two-day TV event.

JEMEZ MOUNTAINS, N.M. -- Tonight there are people combing the landscape of the rocky mountains armed with big dreams and a few cryptic clues.
They are looking for buried treasure, a 42-pound bronze chest filled with hundreds of gold nuggets, rare coins and jewels worth millions, and hidden by Forrest Fenn.
Fenn made millions as a art collector and when he was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer, he decided to leave a good part of his fortune to whoever could find it somewhere in the New Mexico Mountains.
Fenn wrote a memoir with a poem offering nine clues to the treasure.That was three years ago. His cancer is in remission and the treasure is out there somewhere.

The Denver Broncos completed their 2013 practice squad on Monday, signing second-year linebacker Brandon Marshall to the squad.
The Denver Broncos' 53-man roster has been finalized to start the 2013 season.
Blake is a bit of a disappointment having been drafted in the 4th round in 2012. He is eligible to join the practice squad in 2013.
Good Morning Broncos Fans! Today is the day that we figure out just exactly what our 53 man roster will look like (at least to begin the season). Today will put an end to all offseason activities...
After a handful of moves yesterday, the Denver Broncos roster is starting to take shape. Some of the surprises included UDFA RB C.J. Anderson making the final 53-man roster. It also appears as if...
CJ Anderson has the honor of carrying out a very prestigious Broncos tradition: Making the final 53 man roster after joining the squad as a long shot.
Putting our money where our mouth is so to speak....here is our take on who may or may not clear waivers amongst Larentee McCray, Zac Dysert, Gerell Robinson, and CJ Anderson.

Dana Fuchs
Dana Fuchs
HAILED AS THE NEW JANIS JOPLIN, even before she played the legendary rock icon in the off-Broadway hit Love, Janis, Dana Fuchs is a raspy-voiced blues-rock singer/songwriter whose versatile career has embraced music, theater, and film ("Across the Universe"). Fuchs and her band do freight-train blues-rock but it's her voice that steals the show.
Powerful, passionate and honest, Dana Fuchs is a throwback to another time: the late '60s and early '70s, when blues-based shouters like Robert Plant were capturing the attention of a generation.
Perhaps Stereophile Magazine said it best: "Imagine a sultry, more emotive Janis Joplin, backed by a higher energy version of the late 60s Rolling Stones… Rock n' Roll doesn't get any better."
"Blond-haired, blues-rockin' singers don't come any more firey and iconic than Dana Fuchs, preaching the gospel of soul and inspiration." – Philadelphia Daily

Friday December 2nd
Caen vs. Marseille
It's difficult to say that Marseille's 3-0 win over PSG last weekend didn't mean something. It's been a very tough year for L'OM, so much so that it was getting to the point that questions were being asked about whether or not the team was under-performing or just genuinely not very good. Given the way PSG has played so far this season and the relative ease with which they were dispatched by Marseille, it's quite difficult to think that the talent isn't there to make them one of the best teams in France. But at this point, last week's win is the outlier. Marseille is a good club, somewhere; they've just got to start playing like it.
Pick: Marseille, 2-0
Saturday December 3rd
Ajaccio vs. Lille
Hey, it's the defending champs against the worst team in Ligue 1! Ajaccio is one of the most beautiful places in Europe (and possibly the world) but there's really nothing especially beautiful about the team that bears its name. They don't score, they defend horribly and they play really unattractive football. I want so badly to like them, given the aforementioned beauty of their home, their snappy kits and one of the more fantastic crests in world football but it just isn't in the cards. Lille should by all rights destroy them; this is one of those games where a team can take three points and still be disappointed with the result.
Pick: Lille, 3-0
Brest vs. St. Etienne
If you like incompetent attacking play, boring football and a complete lack of suspense you'll still hate this game. That's how bad this is going to be.
Pick: Draw, 0-0
Dijon vs. Sochaux
In this week's "Two bad teams that are bad in all the right ways" special, the clubs have agreed that in the event of a draw the winner will be determined by which side can concede the most hilarious own-goal. Because that's now totally a thing clubs can decide to do now. The FFF is totally cool with it.
Pick: Sochaux, 3-2
Evian vs. Valenciennes
This is another example of a game that is probably going to factor pretty heavily in the relegation battle come the end of the season; Evian has been a better team than a lot of people would have expected, but at some point a rough patch that puts them in a more perilous position is more likely than not, especially given how tightly packed the bottom half of the table remains. Valenciennes is better, talent wise, than their record might imply but as it gets deeper into the year that's going to matter less and less.
Pick: Valenciennes, 1-0
Montpellier vs. Lorient
By pretty much every measure, Montpellier have been the best team in France so far this season. That's...not what anyone expected coming into the year. It's also not the same thing as being the most talented team, either; the nod there still has to go to PSG. But Montpellier plays as such a fluid unit that, like most championship caliber teams, they become more than the sum of their parts. It's not a surprise how well this club plays any more; it's becoming an expectation. They're leading the charge in changing the perception (and reality, to a certain extent) of Ligue 1. Lorient like the kind of club that could join them in that soon, but they aren't quite there yet; their defense is superb, but until the learn how to put the ball in the goal they're not going to be much of a threat.
Pick: Montpellier, 3-1
Nice vs. Rennes
Rennes are another attractive, positive side that have made Ligue 1 much more fun to watch this season than the past few, and they're well positioned to make a run at Europe at least as things stand. Nice have put themselves in position to maybe possibly score a goal one of these days, so good for them.
Pick: Rennes, 2-0
Sunday December 4th
Bordeaux vs. Nancy
Bordeaux finally won a game at home last weekend, which is pretty mind-blowing when you think about it. As poor as Bordeaux has been at home, Nancy has been worse on the road and are really looking to be a team that's going to have some difficulty avoiding a relegation fight. The lower part of the table is littered with clubs like Nancy, teams that play very well defensively and seek to highlight those strengths with their tactical approach but don't score nearly enough to be regularly competitive. I wonder if maybe, just maybe, there's a lesson in that.
Pick: Draw, 1-1
PSG vs. Auxerre
PSG is not in an especially good place right now, losers of their last three in all competitions, their last two in domestic competition and without a league win since October 29th. That's really a shame. Just a crying, crying shame.
Pick: PSG, 3-1
Lyon vs. Toulouse
Toulouse boast the best defense in the league, but that a team averaging a goal per game can be so high in the table is slightly annoying. Lyon continue plugging along, staying close enough to the top of the table that the Champions League and, at worst, Europa look easily attainable. This should be a close game, and an important one, but those aren't the same things as good.
Pick: Lyon, 1-0

TUCSON -- Police in Tucson have identified a 75-year-old man who died in a rollover accident near the Pima Air and Space Museum.
Authorities say the accident occurred just before noon Friday when a Honda Accord rear-ended a Jeep that was driving well below the speed limit on East Valencia Road. The Jeep flipped over the median into the eastbound lanes.
Driver William Brownlee of Tucson was killed in the Jeep and his 74-year-old male passenger had minor injuries.
The Honda's driver wasn't hurt.

Is Apple working on a big-screen iPad Pro to follow the iPad Air, and when is the next iPad coming out? Will the bigger iPad, whether it's called iPad Pro, iPad 6, iPad 2014 or simply new iPad, feature a larger screen - or will it even be a touchscreen MacBook/iPad hybrid? We round up the rumours in our iPad Pro release date, rumours and leaked images article. Updated 21 May 2014 to add the 'leaked image' of an iPad Pro dummy model, and discussion of Microsoft's Surface Pro 3.
iPad Air review | All iPad reviews
Speculation suggests there's a 12.9in-screen iPad in the works, known as the iPad Pro. Here, we've gathered the latest rumours about the bigger iPad, so you'll know what to expect, and when. We'll let you know as soon as we hear more about the iPad Pro release date, and we'll be adding iPad Pro leaked images as and when they emerge. (Excitingly, the first alleged leaked image has just arrived - see below.)
Are the rumours about a iPad Pro really rumours about a new Retina display for the MacBook Air? Read our 11in Retina MacBook Air rumour round up.
iPad Pro release date: When will the big-screen iPad 6 come out?
There are mixed reports on when the iPad 6 or iPad Pro is likely to launch.
Watch our video where we discuss what Apple might have planned for the iPad, iOS 8, and the iPhone:
Ming-Chi Kuo, a KGI Securities analyst with a highly respected track record when it comes to Apple predictions, has published a report claiming that, on the tablet front, we'll see only a new iPad Air this year, with the iPad Pro (and an update to the iPad mini) following in 2015. Kuo believes that Apple will focus on the iWatch and its operating system in 2014, with the iPad Air 2/iPad 6 featuring only incremental upgrades: an A8 processor and a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. (On the A8 chip side of things, we hear that Samsung has been shifted off that project after failing to meet demand - see our iPhone 6 rumour article for more details.)
"We believe Apple plans to launch an upgraded iPad Air early this year, and will accelerate development of a 12.9in iPad," Kuo wrote.
"As such, more resources will be allocated to these two products, which will affect the progress of the development of the new iPad mini. All told, we think the chances of the debut of a new iPad mini in 2H14 are slim. In addition, the 12.9in iPad is unlikely to be offered in 2014. For these reasons, we predict the only new iPad product in 2H14 will be the upgraded iPad Air."
In a later note Kuo reiterated his belief that Apple is producing a 12.9in iPad, again noting that he doesn't think it will launch in 2014.
Yet previous reports suggested that Apple is working on two new 12.9in iPads for a 2014 launch. The first - a 2K model - is expected in April, while the rumoured 4K models are forecast for an October 2014 release.
In January 2014, Evercore Partners analyst Patrick Wang predicted that a 12in MacBook/iPad hybrid would launch in the autumn of 2014.
Analyst Rhoda Alexander from IHS has said that several larger display panels possibly destined for a bigger iPad are being tested by Apple, but insists that this doesn't mean the bigger iPad launch is imminent. Alexander says: "Some manufacturers over the last six months have received sample quantities of a larger panel. Various sizes are being reported with 12.85 inches being one of the sizes.
However, Alexander says that there hasn't been a big shipment of the panels, and notes: "We have to get a lot further down the line in terms of seeing really strong indicators from Apple that such a product exists, and we're just not at that point."
One factor that may come into play is the movement of rivals. In January 2014 Samsung launched a pair of 12.2in tablets, the Galaxy Note Pro and the Galaxy Tab Pro (note the use of the word 'Pro' - does that make Apple more or less likely to brand its iPad the iPad Pro?), and Apple will be watching their progress with great interest.
In the past it's often been said that Apple doesn't slavishly follow market trends, and that's certainly true. But it can be a reactive company, as we saw with the iPad mini, which followed the success of several rival mini-tablets. Apple's habit is to watch a market for some time, establish that it has the potential to be profitable - but hasn't yet been exploited to the full - and then set it alight with a market-changing product.

iPad Pro rumours: First 'leaked image' of an iPad Pro aluminium dummy
The first 'leaked image' of the iPad Pro - or rather, an image of an aluminium dummy unit that the actual prototype would be based on - has emerged on the Chinese social network Weibo. Here's the 'iPad Pro' in all its glory:
The first point that needs to be made is that this hasn't been verified by official sources, and wouldn't be tough to fake, so it may not be genuine. The second is that clearly this isn't what the iPad Pro would like even if it is genuine; this would only give us an idea of the size of the device and the broadest of design touches: the placement of the camera, the shape of the chassis and so on.
(We know that Apple's design team habitually create dummy models of new products in a range of sizes - usually from foam, as I understand it, although aluminium would work too - so this could easily be one of several sizes Apple is considering.)
Nevertheless, it's one more clue to add to the puzzle. As corroboration arrives in other leaked images, we'll get a better idea of what we're dealing with - and if it even exists.
iPad Pro rumours: Concept illustrations of iPad Pro by Ramotion
That's our only leaked photo so far, but plenty of designers have come up with 'concept illustrations' of the iPad Pro - how they'd make the thing look if they got a job with Jony Ive's team, in other words.
Design agency Ramotion are the latest firm to take a shot at the iPad Pro, releasing stunning concept illustrations to show how they envisage a product that sits halfway between the iPad Air and the MacBook Pro.
Ramotion's iPad Pro is based around a pair of A7 processor chips and a 12.9-inch (4096x3072) screen.
Ingeniously, it conceals the rear-facing camera inside the Apple logo...
...and uses three cameras to offer 3D video calling and eye tracking. There are even four speakers on the corners of the device for surround-sound audio. Would that be practical? We're not sure.
iPad Pro concept: multitasking
One of the most intriguing ideas proposed by Ramotion - albeit one that has been used by rivals such as Samsung on existing larger-screen tablets - is the ability to multitask between two apps side by side.
"In the horizontal orientation you can work directly with two applications as if you put two iPad minis next to each other," the firm says. "Intuitive gestures make your work much more pleasant an efficient!"
All images and animations by Ramotion. They're absolutely stunning - check out the full set here.
iPad Pro rumours: Design concept images and video of Mac OS X-based iPad Pro 13
The Italian design company SET Solutions has created a CGI video of a product concept it calls the 'iPad Pro 13'. Unlike all existing iPads, the iPad Pro 13 is based on Apple's Mac OS X desktop operating system rather than iOS, suggesting that its creators envision it being marketed at business users. Part of the time, the user in the video is controlling the iPad Pro with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
We'd stress that this is only a concept render, rather than a real product, but it serves as an interesting exploration of how such a design would work.
The firm says: "Here's our CG iPad Pro (13 inches screen) with Apple OS X as operative system! Now you can take your works wherever you want!
"The new iPad Pro is really powerful, with a bigger Retina display, and with a desktop OS: all your favourite programs in a 13-inch table… cool, right?"
Here's the iPad Pro concept video:
iPad Pro rumours: iPad Pro vs Microsoft Surface Pro 3
Apple would deny that it creates products in reaction to launches by its rivals, but the success or failure of an iPad Pro would be influenced by the state of the market. And that has changed with yesterday's (20th May's) unveiling of Microsoft's Surface Pro 3.
Microsoft is aiming its new Surface Pro 3 at people who want the portability of a tablet but want to be able to carry out tasks that require a machine with power that matches that of a laptop - which is exactly the sort of device and customer base most of us envision for the iPad Pro. Apple could face an incumbent market occupier before the iPad Pro even launches, assuming that the Surface Pro 3 can convince buyers to get on board.
The Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's latest attempt to claim credibility in the tablet market, and by all accounts has the specs and the features to stand up to the iPad line-up. The real struggle could be persuading third-party app developers to work for this platform on top of - or even instead of - iOS and Android. Whether Microsoft can win this battle remains to be seen.
We've compared the Surface Pro 3 with the iPad Air in a separate article: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 vs iPad Air comparison. But will the iPad Pro be a closer rival to Microsoft's new tablet, its specs and features and target market? That might just depend on how well the Pro 3 sells, regardless of Apple's protestations.
iPad Pro rumours: After the iPad Air comes the iPad Pro
Apple surprised everyone when it named its fifth-generation full-sized iPad the iPad Air (most of us assumed it would be called iPad 5 or New iPad), but the name made a lot of sense when we saw how thin and light the tablet was - slicing more than a quarter off the weight of the previous generation, and approaching the iPad minis in terms of thickness, it's a spectacularly portable device.
But the name also ties in with another existing Apple product: the MacBook Air, Apple's thinnest laptop. Which immediately made excitable rumour-mongers start speculating: if Apple is making iPad Airs to match its slim-and-light MacBook Air laptops, wouldn't it make sense to design a line of high-end tablets to match the MacBook Pro? Will we see an iPad Pro in 2014?
iPad Pro rumours: What big-screen tablets will the iPad Pro be competing with?
There are already some bigger Android tablets available, including the Archos 116 with an 11.6in screen and the 12in Toshiba Excite 13, and two 12.2in tablets from Samsung. But tablets that large are not among the most popular devices at the moment. Then again, perhaps Apple's iPad Pro could change all that.
Plus, if speculation proves to be correct, Apple's iPad Pro could be competing with laptop-tablet hybrids, such as Acer's Aspire V5 Touch and Microsoft's Surface Pro, which takes a detachable keyboard approach. We can expect many more laptops to launch with touchscreens in the future, too, as Intel's Ultrabook specification now lists touchscreen as a requirement.
iPad Pro rumours: Is there a market for a more powerful iPad?
There's one big down side to this theory. The main thing the MacBook Pro offers over the MacBook Air is power: it's a faster machine capable of handling more demanding tasks, and compromises on portability - and costs more - to achieve this. Yet while we can imagine an iPad Pro being less portable than the iPad Air (nearly everything is less portable than the iPad Air) it's harder to imagine it being more powerful, or even there being any reason to want such a device.
Because the iPad Air is exceptionally powerful for a mobile device - indeed, in our reviews of the iPad Air we've repeatedly stressed that most users won't see anything like the speed gains promised when using it, for the simple reason that most apps don't need that kind of welly. Even the iPad 3 and 4 can happily run virtually anything on the App Store, and the iPad Air's power is more about insuring yourself against the more demanding apps that will be released in future.
Infinity Blade 3: One of the most graphically demanding games on the App Store, but less high-powered devices than the iPad Air can cope with it. So why would the iPad Pro need to be any more powerful?
Chances of a more powerful iPad Pro: If this is all the iPad Pro offers, it's on to a loser, since the iPad Air is as powerful as an iPad needs to be right now. This is a very long shot, unless tied in with further benefits, and even then it seems unnecessary.
iPad Pro rumours: A bigger-screen iPad
A more realistic option for an iPad Pro would simply be to give it a larger screen.
Many pundits, including our colleague Ted Landau in his article 'Envisioning an iPad Pro', have discussed a screen size of 12.9in, which would create a neat progression of sizes from iPad mini to iPad Pro: 7.9in, 9.7in, 12.9in.
But would anyone want an iPad with a bigger screen? That's debatable, although the amount of interest around the idea online suggests that such a device wouldn't struggle for attention. And there's a huge current market of laptop users who have resisted making the switch to a tablet and could be convinced if there was more screen space available.
On the other hand, the success of the iPad mini points in the other direction, suggesting that if anything, the average user would happily settle for less screen space than the full-sized iPad currently offers, in return for greater portability and a lower price tag.
Chances of a bigger-screen iPad Pro: Moderate. The launch of the iPad mini (and its subsequent success) showed that Apple is less afraid of product fragmentation than it was under Steve Jobs, and while we think a big-screen iPad would appeal to a smaller audience than that, Apple could probably convince more laptop users to make the switch.
iPad Pro rumours: Will Apple make a touchscreen MacBook or MacBook/iPad hybrid?
A third option for the iPad Pro would be for Apple to create a device that's a hybrid of a laptop and a tablet.
Yet Apple CEO Tim Cook has famously dismissed the idea of a MacBook/iPad hybrid. During a financial earnings conference call in April 2012, Cook said that consumers simply won't be interested in buying or using a machine that is a hybrid of a laptop and a tablet.
"I think… anything can be forced to converge," said Cook. "But the problem is that products are about trade-offs, and you begin to make trade-offs to the point where what you have left at the end of the day doesn't please anyone. You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user."
For this reason, Cook claimed that Apple would never converge the MacBook Air and the iPad, because too many compromises would be necessary and the two types of products are used too differently.
"You wouldn't want to put these things together because you end up compromising in both and not pleasing either user. Some people will prefer to own both, and that's great too. But to make the compromise of convergence, we're not going to that party," Cook added.
But what if, in the two years since Cook dismissed the idea, Apple has come up with a way to avoid tradeoffs and create something that's as powerful as a MacBook but as portable and touch-based as an iPad?
Cook's comments sparked speculation at the time from some industry analysts who believed that Cook thinks the hybrid market could be very strong, and that he might have reason to want to tear down a market that has a lot of potential.
"I think it was kind of a funny slam," said Charles King, an analyst with Pund-IT. "For the chief executive of a company that has pursued some pretty unconventional design points along the way and done pretty well, I'd think he'd be more open to this hybrid idea. The issue is if a successful tablet/laptop hybrid ever did come out, it would constitute a fairly significant challenge to Apple."
During the financial results conference call for the first quarter of 2014, Cook promised that Apple is continuing to innovate behind the scenes, and that we should expect to see the launch of an Apple product that enters new territory for the company. Most suspect Cook is talking about an iTV or iWatch, but perhaps Apple is working on a tablet/laptop hybrid after all.
ReadWrite's Dave Smith highlights that, while Apple executives have dismissed the idea of OS X becoming more like iOS, they haven't written off the idea of an iPad running a OS X.
iPad Pro rumours: The benefits of a tablet/laptop hybrid
Laptop/tablet hybrids started to garner some attention and excitement during 2012's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, with chip maker Intel and Lenovo unveiling hybrid ultrabooks that can be flipped around to look and act like a tablet.
They're looking to hook users on a hybrid experience, combining the flexible ease-of-use of a touchscreen tablet with a full-keyboarded laptop.
"Apple has succeeded at keeping those types of functionality away from one another," said King. "The idea of a hybrid is a very different kind of world view. Whenever I see an executive jump all over something… it's because it's what they feat the most or see as the biggest threat. [Cook's] comments reflect the size of the threat that he sees."
Jack Gold, an analyst with J. Gold Associates, sees potential in the hybrid market - something that has to be sending up warning flags at Apple, which has found so much success by eating up most of the lucrative tablet market.
"So of course, the Apple CEO would like to set the impression that a convertible is not a threat to the market," Gold added.
New touchscreen PCs are a threat to the iPad, analyst
However, not everyone thought Cook was simply trying to throw cold water on hybrids.
Patrick Moorhead, an analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, said Cook has a lot of experience in picking hot coming trends and he simply may not appreciate the value-add of a hybrid. "Cook has passionate opinions about what consumers would want and not want and their track record speaks for itself," he said. "I don't believe he is overtly poisoning the well on hybrids, but that could be an unintended consequence.
"According to Tim Cook, if Apple doesn't sell it, consumers don't want it," Moorhead said.
He thinks the hybrids could have a bright future, one that diminishes the iPad.
"Hybrids will take business away from the iPad," he said. "Many consumers who would have purchased an iPad will instead buy a hybrid. They desire the sexiness of the tablet and the common sense of the small notebook, all in the same package."
So Apple won't be making a touchscreen MacBook?
Actually, we're not so sure. In April 2013, Apple CEO Tim Cook defended the company's iconic Mac line after it saw a second consecutive decline in sales during the quarter. "I don't think this [personal computer] market is dead or a bad market by any means," he said. "I think it has a lot of life to it. We are going to continue to innovate in it."
"We're going to continue making the best personal computers," Cook continued. "We've got some more great stuff planned, so this is an area we're continuing to invest in."
Plus, despite Cook's comments that a MacBook and iPad hybrid product would be like combining a fridge and a toaster, Apple has filed a patent for such device.
Top 10 hybrid gadgets to rival the toaster-fridge
The patent describes a device that has a touchscreen display that can be removed from the keyboard and trackpad-equipped base, and can also be rotated when attached to the base.
Additionally, power could be wirelessly transferred from the base component to the detached display.
A second patent filed by Apple in February 2013 suggests that Apple may use the in-cell touch display technology found in the iPhone for a future MacBook, too.
Let's not forget that Apple actually did make a touchscreen laptop 17 years ago. It was the eMate 300, a translucent clamshell portable which ran Apple's Newton PDA operating system. Ok, so it's far from the touchscreen MacBook we'd expect to see from Apple, but it's interesting nonetheless.
So, whether the new iPad Pro is a combination of a MacBook and iPad or simply a bigger, more powerful iPad, rumours about the device flooded in as 2014 arrived. Read on for iPad Pro release date rumours, as well as speculation about possible features of the new iPad.
iPad Pro features
Barclays Capital analyst Ben A. Reitzes said in October 2013 that Apple's move to a 64-bit architecture with the iPhone 5s, iPad mini and iPad Air could hint that Apple is working to develop iOS for a bigger, more powerful iPad. But what features will this bigger iPad have?
Analyst Patrick Wang believes that the iPad Pro will be powered by an A8 processor. Although, as we mentioned above, there's reason to question whether the iPad Pro would need a more advanced processor than the iPad Air?
Ted Landau floats the idea that the iPad Pro could have greater connectivity than the Air, with Thunderbolt and USB connections enabling business users and former laptop users to add on portable scans and similar accessories.
And of course, as with all rumoured iOS devices, we have to mention the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It was a surprise when this wasn't added to the iPad Air, having appeared in the iPhone 5s, and would be both a logical addition and a nice differentiator from the Air. A few Apple fans might be persuade to upgrade for that alone.
Big-screen iPad rumours: What size of display will the iPad Pro have?
As mentioned earlier, the general consensus seems to be that a big-screen iPad Pro would probably have a 12.9in display.
Reports since as far back as July 2013 have pointed to a screen size around the 13in mark. The Wall Street Journal cited "officials at Apple's suppliers" in its report that claimed Apple was testing screens measuring almost 13 inches diagonally.
Then, in November 2013, reports that Apple was working on a bigger iPad resurfaced, again suggesting a 12.9in screen is coming to Apple's tablet soon. The Korea Times cited sources from a "first-tier" Apple supplier in a report claiming that a 12.9in Retina display was being made in factories in Korea.
There has been talk of an 11.4in model, too, though we've only seen one report that suggests this so it seems less likely.
In October, trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple is planning to launch a 12in laptop that will be as portable as the 11in MacBook Air but as productive as the 13in MacBook Pro, and will "redefine laptop computing". Perhaps Kuo was referring to the iPad Pro.
What resolution will the iPad Pro have?
Another display-related iPad Pro question is the resolution. As mentioned above, there's talk of two separate iPad Pro models. The first has been described as 2K, which would mean a resolution similar to that of the iPad Air and iPad mini 2, which have 2,048 by 1,536 pixel screens.
The second is described as 4K, which would mean there are around 4,000 pixels along the longest side of the display (4K Ultra HD TVs normally have 3840 x 2160 resolutions).
According to a report in November from The Korea Times, sources say that Apple's iPad Pro will boast an "ultra high-definition" picture quality, which could also suggest a 4K display.
In January 2014, research firm DisplaySearch suggested that Apple is testing a 12.9in display with a resolution of 2732 x 2048 pixels, which means a pixel density of 265ppi. Apple's iPad Air has a 264ppi display, and when it comes to competing 12in tablets, Samsung's new devices have 247ppi displays.
How much will the iPad Pro cost?
We've not heard much speculation about the cost of the bigger iPad, but Ben A. Reitzes thinks it could start at around $650 (£450).
In general Apple tries to release new iOS devices at close to (and quite often exactly the same as) their predecessors' prices. If Apple follows that policy with the iPad 6 we would expect it to match the iPad Air's pricing: starting at £399, and topping out at £739 for the 3G-equipped, 128GB model. But in the case of a bigger-screen iPad Pro, a higher price is more likely, to take account for the additional manufacturing challenges, more powerful battery and so on.
The difference between the starting iPad Air and starting iPad mini Retina is £80, and those two tablets are separated by 2.2in of diagonal screen size and little else. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect a 12in-or-so iPad Pro to cost about £80 more than the equivalent iPad Air - and thus start at £479.
Other iPad Pro rumours
According to DigiTimes, Apple has turned to Taiwan-based Quanta Computer to manufacture the bigger iPad. However the report suggests that Quanta expects to "encounter several challenges" when it comes to building the bigger iPad, which could cause limited supply of the tablet upon launch.
It's believed Apple has been growing increasingly interested in launching a bigger iPad because the company expects tablets to eventually replace PCs.
iPad Pro rumours: conclusion
We're still not convinced that a bigger iPad is on its way, but you can never say never. After all, Steve Jobs once said that a smaller iPad would be dead on arrival, but then Apple launched the iPad mini and it flew off the shelves.
But do we really need a bigger iPad? We're not so sure. What are your thoughts on the possibility of an iPad Pro? Let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter.

Washington recorded its best finish in the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational Saturday, placing sixth in a 13-team field.
The Hatchets finished with a 351 team score, paced by a round of 84 from Clay Hatton.
"Clay led us with a steady 84," Washington coach Bill Ricke said. "His ball striking was good." The field was forced to wait for four hours before an early-morning fog cleared. This was our best ever score and finish in this tournament," Ricke said.
"The course was set from the back tees and the ground was wet. Our players placed 19-39 in the 65-player field." Hatton was followed by Cam Lancaster (86), Connor Brown (90), Tyler Stoll (91) and Andy Garland (97).
"Cam played well. He made par or bogey on 16 holes, but was eight over on the other two," Ricke said. "Connor played with a great deal of poise. He had 15 holes of either par or bogey, but went 10 over on the other three.
"Tyler's driving stats were really good," Ricke said. "His iron play cost him, but he can turn that around with a little work. Andy (who was competing in his first varsity golf event) certainly learned a lot. The experience will certainly help him in the future.² Washington (7-5) now plays Saturday at the Golf Club of Old Vincennes - the team¹s first look at the traditional sectional site of the season.
"I was happy with the start," Ricke said. "Overall, we played a steady round of golf. We had instances where we made some big numbers which vaulted our scores. In general, we made par and bogey our main score, and that is acceptable. Our goal now is to eliminate big numbers that we threw in the mix."

Superintendent of Schools Michael Schilder said the district will be adding in more proteins and grains to its lunch menus after the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it was eliminating requirements set out through the 2010 Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.
"The USDA recently relaxed the required maximum quantities for grains and meats in the National School Lunch Program," he said. "The maximums were new this year to the school meal program and caused significant challenges in planning and serving meals especially to students in the middle and high schools."
With the new regulations, Schilder said, older students felt like they were not getting enough food for lunch as opposed to previous years.
But now, Schilder said, there will be more flexibility in the lunchrooms, at least for the rest of the 2012-2013 school year.
"However, meals must still meet the minimum quantities required for meal components, and must still be in compliance with the minimum and maximum calorie ranges for specific age and grade groups," he said.
In the coming weeks, Schilder said, students will start seeing increased protein and grain portions on certain menu items where those calorie maximums will still not be compromised.
Time was much of the issue in these changes, Schilder said. But, he said, everything could change back again next school year.
"The USDA realized that there was not enough time given to suppliers to provide products to meet the requirements for age-specific groups, which created menu planning difficulties," he said. "This change is only to accommodate the transition, and caps on proteins and grains may become permanent in the future."
For now, Schilder said, it is about offering the best possible options to the students.
"I support any efforts to provide children with healthier lunches and address the issue of obesity," he said. "In Bridgewater-Raritan School District, we select a food service provider partially based on its ability to provide healthy, nutritious meals."
"The district will continue to offer as many healthy food choices as possible," he added.
