A professor of finance who has specialized in studying the Troubled Asset Relief Program has alleged political influence played a role in deciding which credit unions received funds under a U.S. Treasury Department program.
Forty-eight community development credit unions that applied for funds from the U.S. Treasury Department's Community Development Capital Initiative received them by the time the program distribution closed last week.
The White House and Congress are starting to recognize the impact community development financial institutions are having in providing affordable housing expansion, small business support and financial services to urban and rural areas.
Be it expanding affordable housing, supporting small businesses or providing financial services to urban and rural areas, community development financial institutions continue to play a pivotal role.
NCUA has confirmed that it will weigh community development credit unions allowance for loan losses more heavily when it evaluates their applications for funds under the U.S. Treasury Department's Community Development Capital Initiative.
The deadline for having at least started the process for accessing money under the U.S. Treasury's Community Development Capital Initiative program is rapidly approaching.
Bill Bynum, CEO of the Enterprise Corporation of the Delta, the sponsoring organization for the $122 million Hope Community Credit Union, will be among the leaders to testify before the House Financial Services Committee on March 9.
The U.S. Treasury Department is not the only organization providing a conference call for community development credit unions to get more information about how they can apply for low interest Federal loans under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
The NCUA Board has approved changes to the agency's regulations to allow eligible credit unions to use capital they might access from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The board took the action in a notational vote Feb. 9.
The U.S. Treasury Department will make money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program available to credit unions, banks and thrifts that have been recognized as community development financial institutions by the Department's CDFI Fund.

Recipe by CORWYNN DARKHOLME
"A taste of the Caribbean. The main ingredients are callaloo leaves, or spinach, and okra. Both were originally brought from Africa in the seventeenth century. Serve piping hot with slices of avocado pear and hot bread."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
callaloo leaves or spinach
6 cups
chicken stock
onion, chopped
1/2 pound
salt beef, fat removed and diced
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
6 tablespoons
minced shallots
1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme
green chile pepper, chopped
1 cup
1/2 pound
OMG, this soup is simply divine... no actually, it is the devil! I couldn't stop eating it, bowl after bowl after delicious, mouthwatering bowl. I finished all 6 servings in one day!
Thank god I'm lazy and don't get out much... otherwise I would have made many more batches and ended up killing myself from overeating.
Seriously though, you need to try this soup. Oh, and HAHAHA... good one Corwynn! For a real laugh, try finding some callaloo leaves in your neighborhood. I went to 4 different grocery stores and not one staff member, their management, or even the professional Chef I ran into had heard of this ingredient before. Either way, spinach worked out just fine. As well, for those of you with limited, microwave-only cooking knowledge, shallots look like this:
... and salt beef is more commonly known as corned beef.
Thanks goes out to my friendly, neighborhood grocers for those tidbits of knowledge. Otherwise I'd still be roaming the isles of the grocery store instead of being keeled over in pain from the 6 bowls of soup I just ate.
real callaloo has coconut milk. That is better than chicken stock. Rather than crab meat add large blue crab claws

I made this soup for a couple for was having a "romantic dinner for two" Caribbean style. They both loved this soup!
I made it again for myself and husband, and we both thought it was wonderful. The only suggestion I would have is this:
it is a little on the salty side, so really trim the salt beef well first.
I thought this was very delicious. My girls really liked it. I didn't put the okra or the crabmeat in cause I didn't have any. I added two cups of coconut milk and reduced some of the chicken stock to 4 cups and it just tasted so flavourful. I will make again for sure. Thanks.
Execellent Caribbean soup! I used frozen spinach. Instead of salt beef I used fried bacon and I used crabmeat from a can.
Never Again.... I had high expectations for this dish based on the reviews. We were very disappointed. I followed the directions exactly as written using fresh spinach, and it was awful. I will say that the longer it cooked, the better it tasted, but even after 4 hours on the stove, and several adjustments, it was still not up to par. Since my investment was $15.00, I did what I could to make it taste better, but even after adjusting it, though it was better, it had a dull flavor.
This was really easy to make and tasted something like the Callaloo we had on our Carribean vacation. It is very very tasty and its good for you too.
If you are having a Carribean night this is a great starter!
I totally modified this soup because I didn't have all the ingredients plus I am a lazy cook and it turned out great. I started with a bunch of callaloo, added 32 oz of chix stock, onion + quarter sweet onion, little hot yellow pepper, thyme, salt, pepper, canned crab meat. I simmered for a while and then added a can of condensed milk. No pureeing, just ate it as it and it was amazing.

Deeplinks Blog posts about CALEA
Update 9/26/14: Recently Apple has announced that it is providing basic encryption on mobile devices that they cannot bypass, even in response to a request from law enforcement. Google has promised to take similar steps in the near future. Predictably, law enforcement has responded with howls of alarm.
EFF Victories in Two FOIA Cases—Court Rules Government's Arguments are "Clearly Inadequate" to Support Claims
Sunshine Week is often a time for transparency advocates to collectively lament about government secrecy and institutional resistance to accountability. But the week of advocacy is also an opportunity to highlight how, through patience and a lot of court motions, organizations such as EFF can pry important documents from agencies that would rather operate in the shadows.
EFF recently won favorable rulings in two hard-fought Freedom of Information Act cases involving reports of intelligence agency misconduct and agency attempts to mandate backdoors into our internet communications. In light of recent revelations about illegal NSA and FBI surveillance, the records produced in these cases could not be more timely.
EFF v. CIA—Reports of Intelligence Agency Misconduct
Skype has long claimed to be "end-to-end encrypted", an architectural category that suggests conversations over the service would be difficult or impossible to eavesdrop upon, even given control of users' Internet connections. But Skype's 2005 independent security review admits a caveat to this protection: "defeat of the security mechanisms at the Skype Central Server" could facilitate a "man-in-the-middle attack" (see section 3.4.1). Essentially, the Skype service plays the role of a certificate authority for its users and, like other certificate authorities, could facilitate eavesdropping by giving out the wrong keys.
According to the New York Times, President Obama is "on the verge of backing" a proposal by the FBI to introduce legislation dramatically expanding the reach of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA. CALEA forces telephone companies to provide backdoors to the government so that it can spy on users after obtaining court approval, and was expanded in 2006 to reach Internet technologies like VoIP.
EFF has long called on companies to publish the number and type of government demands they receive for user data. We think it's important enough to be one of the stars we award in our Who Has Your Back? campaign started in 2010. Users make decisions every day about which companies they entrust with their thoughts, photos, contacts, identities and location data. In order to make informed decisions users -- especially those at risk from repressive governments or engaging in political activism -- need to know how often the government is seeking that information from their providers.

Romo gets punked by radio reporter
Players have to be careful when they talk to radio reporters at camp because many of them only want to do comedy routines or set the players up for practical jokes. Romo was the victim of the latter after the afternoon practice Wednesday when a reporter from a Dallas station asked the celebrity quarterback: "How […] [Read More]
Phillips likes Williams' toughness
Roy Williams has been putting his muscular 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame to good use during camp. "I'll say this for Roy: If a guy is really banging him, he'll rip through him real physical," Wade Phillips said. "If you get a physical corner on him, he'll handle that. I've been real impressed with that." Now if […] [Read More]
Cowboys work on top-secret play
At the risk of giving Tampa Bay a competitive edge in the opener, I'm here to tell you the offense crisply executed a reverse during the afternoon practice.

HBO is taking a big gamble with its new comedy series "Big Love" about the trials and tribulations of a Viagra-popping polygamist and his three wives in suburban America.
The buzzed-about series, produced by Tom Hanks, is set to debut on March 12 after the megahit series "The Sopranos." But the risque show is already riling many Mormons, who say that it dredges up old stereotypes about the religion, which banned polygamy more than 100 years ago.
And some former polygamists worry that the comedy will minimize the real problems that polygamous families -- especially women and children -- can face.
In "Big Love," Bill Paxton plays Bill Hendrickson, a wealthy businessman from Salt Lake City who practices polygamy. With three families and three homes that he tries to hide from virtually everyone, Hendrickson has a ridiculously complicated -- and HBO hopes, watchable -- personal life. Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin play his wives.
The central conflict of "Big Love" revolves around Hendrickson's attempt to deal with the sex, fighting, jealousy and chaos that comes with having multiple families.
But some women say that kind of competition and backbiting isn't the reality of a polygamous life. Elizabeth Joseph writes on polygamy.com that a plural marriage is "the ultimate feminist lifestyle." She says that she's a busy journalist and that polygamy allows her to pursue her career while being assured her kids are well-tended at home.
Linda Earl, a member of a polygamous family in Central Park, Ariz., agrees. She told ABC News' "Primetime" in 2004: "I'm pretty independent. I don't want to have to dote on a guy every night. I don't want to make sure that he has a meal every night. Let somebody else do it that likes it."
And Earl said that jealousy and finding time for intimacy weren't problems either. "It's never really an issue of scheduling," she said. "Um, you just find out if there are ladies that have needs that might be a little more important than your needs. Especially, if a young lady is trying to have a child."
Her husband, who did not want his name identified, is a wealthy businessman. Despite having numerous wives, he told "Primetime" that his life wasn't one big raucous sex party.
"I think you're confusing me with Mr. Hefner down in Los Angeles," he said. "There are much cheaper ways to have sex than to maintain a plural household."
While Earl finds her arrangement beneficial, other women in polygamous homes have said they have been forced into marriage against their will and subjected to abuse.
Don't miss "Primetime" on March 2 at 10 p.m. ET, when the show continues its reporting on polygamy, as a woman who escaped a polygamous community tries to go home after being gone for 18 months.
Flora Jessop, 35, fled abuse as a teenager living in a polygamous community and has devoted her life to liberating other women from the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, a tiny, breakaway group of Mormons.
Based in Colorado City, Ariz., the FLDS maintains absolute control over women's lives, Jessop said, not even allowing them to have contact with people outside the group.
Jessop said of her mission: "It's like taking someone straight from hell — and bringing them to heaven."

Professional Experience
1998 – present University of Maryland, College Park. Currently Professor of Chemistry.
Research Interests
The Isaacs group is interested in supramolecular and synthetic chemistry with an emphasis on molecular container molecules known as cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]). Molecular containers – most commonly cyclodextrins – have enormous everyday applications including scent release and odor control (e.g. Febreeze) in consumer products and foodstuffs. We believe that CB[n] containers will supplant the cyclodextrins in a variety of practical and academic applications with all the attendant societal impact.
Professional Societies
American Chemical Society; American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Major Recognitions and Honors
Significant Professional Service and Activities
Co-organizer of the 2013 International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry; Co-organizer of the 1st NSF-sponsored International "Workshop on CB[n] Molecular Containers" Local Organizing Committee for "Calixarene 2007″ and "Reaction Mechanisms" conferences; Ad hoc reviewer for NIH study section panels. Director of the NSF-MRSEC Research Experience for Undergraduates program (2006); Editorial Board of the Journal of Systems Chemistry.
Students Mentored
The Isaacs group has mentored high school (1), undergraduate (23), graduate (19), and postdoctoral (7) students including a number (7) from groups under-represented in science. Most have pursued scientific careers in academics, industry, or government.
Introduction. Molecular containers compounds bind to, sequester, and thereby modify the properties of compounds bound within their interiors. Currently, the most well-known and widely used class of molecular container compounds is the cyclodextrins (Figure 1). Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides that come in three useful sizes (α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin; volumes = 174, 262, 427 Å3). Cyclodextrins function as molecular containers that bind to hydrophobic substances in aqueous solution. Cyclodextrins are used in a wide range of practical applications including the formulation of hydrophobic drug species in water, as an immobilized component of chiral chromatographic stationary phases, as an additive to mask unpleasant odors in foods, and even as the active ingredient in the household product Febreze where it releases perfume and sequesters malodorant molecules. The use of cyclodextrins for these applications are particularly noteworthy given their modest binding constants (Ka up to 104 M-1), rapid guest release rates (on the order of seconds), and difficulties in performing their selective functionalization. Despite these limitations, cyclodextrins, cyclodextrin derivatives, and value added cyclodextrin products currently constitute a > $1 billion / year industry.
We, and others, have been investigating a relatively new class of molecular container compounds known as cucurbit[n]urils (Figure 1).2 Cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n], n = 5, 6, 7, 8, 10) are macrocyclic methylene bridged glycoluril oligomers comprising n glycoluril rings. These currently known CB[n] compounds have cavity volumes (82, 164, 279, 479, and 870 Å3) that span and exceed those available with the cyclodextrins. In addition to the range of sizes available, CB[n] complexes are typically quite strong (Ka up to 1012 M-1), show very high selectivities based on small structural changes, and some exhibit dissociation kinetics that are remarkably slow (koff ≈ 10-9 s-1).3,4 CB[n]•guest pairs are also very highly responsive to environmental stimuli (e.g. pH, photochemical, electrochemical, or chemical) which makes them extraordinarily well suited for the preparation of molecular machines. In these regards, CB[n]•guest complexes behave more like protein-ligand pairs than typical synthetic host-guest systems.
Known Applications of CB[n] Compounds. Because of their outstanding recognition properties, CB[n] molecular containers have been used in a variety of applications including: drug delivery, waste water purification, fluorophore stabilization, scent release and odor control, transmembrane ion- and molecular transport, and gene transfection.
Isaacs Group Applications of CB[n] Compounds. Our research group has expertise in the synthesis of new CB[n] compounds and pursues new applications of the obtained molecular containers. For example, within CB[10] – a container with a 1000 Å3 cavity and no parallel in the cyclodextrins – we have created molecular switches that respond to small organic molecules, entrapped catalysts for oxidation of alkanes, and created fluorescent sensors for certain organic bases. We are using multi-cavity nor-seco-CB[n] to develop methods for "non-covalent dimerization" in water, in the preparation of stimuli responsive polymers, and for chiral recognition of drug molecules. Other applications of interest include affinity column purification, non-covalent immobilization on solid supports, and as a component of enzyme assays.

The answer is the Deceased. Most deaths are a result of age or chronic illness. Because of this, generally the deceased has time to express what his/her final wishes are.
If the deceased has not expressed their wishes through a written document such as a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, or a Last Will and Testament, where the deceased has designated an agent to fulfill their wishes, then the chain of command is as follows: Legal Spouse/Partner; Surviving Adult Child/Children; Surviving Parent; Surviving Adult Sibling; Ex-Spouse and Parent of Minor Child. Otherwise it would be the agent designate or the next closest blood relatives.
Most important, if you don't want there to be any confusion or arguments about your final wishes, put it in writing.
When someone dies, that person must be declared legally dead and a death certificate must be filled out by a physician. In most cases the physician or other medical official is the only one who can legally pronounce death. However, if someone is terminally ill and in hospice care, the hospice nurse can also sign the death certificate.
If someone dies in a hospital, the funeral home can be contacted directly and the body will be taken temporarily to the hospital morgue to await transport. The family is responsible for making all the necessary arrangements with the funeral home regarding the transport of the body to the chosen funeral home.
If someone dies in a nursing home the process is the same, unless there is no one available at the nursing home to pronounce death in which case the body must first be taken to the hospital before being taken to the funeral home.
If someone dies at home, the police must be called first and then, if the cause of death does not need further review, the body may be taken directly to the funeral home. If the death is unexpected, the body must first be taken to the morgue for an autopsy.
If a death occurs in a public place, the police are called and then the body is taken to the hospital before being released to the funeral home.
This question is very important and if prepared for it can save you much needed time to spend on arranging the service and preparing for the gathering of family and friends. Your funeral director will tell you that the final disposition of your loved one (the burial or cremation) can not be completed without first filing the Death Certificate and Burial/Cremation permit. Your funeral director will need to complete these documents as accurately as possible and if you are not prepared with the necessary information, then most of your initial meeting will be spent retrieving this information.
Having the following documents will save you time and give you peace of mind that the information you are supplying is accurate and you should bring them with you to the first meeting:
Deceased's Birth certificate; Deceased's Marriage certificate; Deceased's Military discharge papers; Deceased's Funeral pre-arrangements documents; Deceased Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care
The general rule is to get one death certificate for every bank account, insurance policy, brokerage account and property deed. Every account and asset that will need to be closed or transferred will need a certificate. Please note that credit card companies generally do not need an original certificate when closing out those accounts.
To save money, you can take an original certificate to the bank, insurance co, or brokerage co, have an officer or manager make a copy of the original certificate and notarized the copy. The original certificate is then returned to you for used again.
Before making the decision of how many to purchase, familiarize yourself with the number of assets you'll need to close or transfer.
Lastly, always get 3 to 5 extra copies after you come up with the initial number. It can take weeks and sometimes months to get additional certificates after the initial filing has been done.
I cannot begin to tell you how prearranging your own funeral saves much time and stress for your loved ones. Just this week I learned about an acquaintance who's husband decided just hours before his death (he was ill with cancer) he wanted to be cremated. Being Jewish, his wife who is a convert to the Jewish faith, said that he needed to tell his family about his decision. He did so by phone with his mother. Unfortunately, by not prearranging this in writing (signed and witnessed) put undue stress on the wife. His family did not accept this last minuet decision.
The whole idea about prearranging your own funeral arrangements is that you make sure that your wishes are fulfilled to your specification and that you family is relieved from making decisions that they might not be 100% sure of.
There are some difficult mourners and most times the family is well aware of who they are and that they just might show up. The funeral director is there to take as much stress away from you as possible. Do not hesitate to tell your funeral director of your concerns. Through years of experience, the funeral director is expert in dealing with all types of difficult persons and they should be able to isolate and deal with the difficult mourner, taking that burden away from you.
Burial is still traditional while cremation is becoming more popular since it is more economical. The cost of a burial is on an average 3 times the cost of cremation for many of the following reasons:
With cremation there is minimal need to physically handle the body (embalming, dressing and cosmetics for viewing).
The cremation casket or container can be an inexpensive minimal combustible casket or cardboard box, where as a burial requires a more substantial casket consisting of at least particle board. Even the new trend in "Green" caskets are quite costly.
It is not required to store or scatter the cremated remains in a cemetery. The least expensive decision for cremated remains would be to take them home for disposition at a later date. Where as, with a casketed remains, you have only one choice and that is burial, either in the ground or entombment in a crypt or a mausoleum. In addition to the mortuary costs stated above, there are the cemetery costs such as: the purchase of cemetery property; opening and closing the crypt or the grave; purchase of a grave vault or liner (required in most states unless a metal casket is purchased), and lastly, purchase of the grave stone or marker.
Please note, that in some religions, cremation is not accepted.
In my experience children are quite resilient and when prepared properly by their parents about the death, they are most of the time better behaved then some of the adults. Funerals or memorials are a time for families to gather to remember a loved one and children benefit from the gathering of the family. Don't underestimate your children. It's OK to talk about death - it's a part of all our lives.
The tip or gratuity for the clergyman who performs a funeral service is called the honorarium. The amount of the honorarium ranges from $50 to $200, depending on their involvement in planning and the ministers relation to the family. If you are not sure how much to give, then ask for some help from the funeral director. He will know what is customary. You do not tip a funeral director.
In general, the following is a guide line: Funeral organist, musician or soloist receive between $50 to $75 per person; Flower deliveries are $2 to $5 for normal deliveries and $5 to $10 for large ones; Limo driver receive 15% of the total fare, however, make sure the tip is not included already in the bill; food servers receive 15% to 20% of the total bill.
No, not necessarily. Unless you have chosen to delay the visitation or funeral service with an open casket for a number of days, it is not necessary nor is it required. Embalming is to preserve the body long enough to enhance or maintain appearance for the visitation or service.
If the remains are being transported across state lines or out of the country, embalming is absolutely necessary. In addition, if the deceased is being transported by plane most airlines do require it as well.
Please feel free to submit a question.
You will receive a response within 48 hours.

Super earners must be super careful
Penny Pryor
If you earn over $300,000 – and congratulations if you do – you need to be aware of a new tax level on your superannuation. Brought in by the Labor government in the last budget, for the total amount of your superannuation over $300,000 you will be taxed at 30 per cent instead of the concessional 15 per cent that most people are taxed.
In the cross-hairs
At the time, the government estimated that would bring in an extra $946 million over the forward estimate period. It is expected to hit 128,000, or 1.2 per cent of people contributing to superannuation in this financial year.
As it's normal practice to quote a salary with the assumption that superannuation is on top, even if you earn $295,000 (plus super) you can be caught up in the extra tax rate.
For example the 9 per cent superannuation guarantee on $295,000 is $26,550, however the maximum superannuation contribution base is $183,000. This means your employer is not required to pay more than 9 per cent of $183,000 into your super or $16,470. But even so, that amount will push you over $300,000, which means a superannuation amount of $11,470 will be taxed at 30 per cent instead of 15 per cent.
Cap alert
High income earners should also be aware of the superannuation contribution caps. These are $25,000 for pretty much everybody but, if you're already getting $16,470 paid into your superannuation, you'll hit that limit a lot quicker if you are also salary sacrificing.
And if your employer is being particularly generous and paying super on your total amount of your base salary – something they would occasionally do as part of a package – you'll get their even faster.
If you're not careful you could be paying 93 per cent on some portion of your superannuation - check out how that could happen here.
If you accidentally exceed the contribution cap by less than $10,000 you might be able to get a refund, although not many people have taken up this opportunity to date.
Either way, it's probably timely to talk to your accountant or adviser to make sure you won't be hit with any nasty penalties come July 1, 2013.

Back to the Future Morocco with the iPhone Hipstamatic
by Russell C. Dohrmann
Russell C. Dohrmann
January 01, 2011 — As a long time photographer and digital imagemaker, recently I felt that I had become stuck—blocked in my artistic endeavors, taking similar images over and over until I was re-invigorated by the use of the Hipstamatic camera app. Images taken with this app on the iPhone are reminiscent of old time photographs, pictorial images from the masters of the early 20th century, as well as images taken with very low-tech cameras with plastic lenses. But why resort to low tech? The answer is the fun and mystery of seeing what is possible and in creating images that are truly unique—images that give a feeling of the art of pictorial photography.

European mental health: Big problem and insights for new solutions
A fearsome new story has hit the headlines. 'More than a third of the population of Europe suffer from some kind of mental health problem each year'. That's estimated to be 164 million people. It's been put down to changing social patterns and the inadequacy of treatment. It's led to calls for more research and more mental health funding.But as a major international conference in Berlin highlighted last week, more of the same is likely to be as unhelpful as what we already have and equally unlikely to have any fundamental impact in improving people's lives and social wellbeing.

It seems that the only way that disabled people can prove they are human to this government is to have a job. No matter that the job market currently discriminates and excludes.

"Complying with U.S. Export Controls"
February 2-3, 2010
New Orleans, Louisiana
The two-day program is led by BIS's professional counseling staff and provides an in-depth examination of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The program will cover the information exporters need to know to comply with U.S. export control requirements on commercial goods. We will focus on what items and activities are subject to the EAR; steps to take to determine the export licensing requirements for your item; how to determine your export control classification number (ECCN); when you can export or reexport without applying for a license; export clearance procedures and record keeping requirements; an overview of the Export Compliance Management Program (ECMP) concepts; and real life examples in applying this information.
Presenters will conduct a number of "hands-on" exercises that will prepare you to apply the regulations to your own company's export activities. This program is well suited for those who need a comprehensive understanding of their obligations under the EAR. Technical, policy, and enforcement professionals from BIS, as well as specialists from other agencies such as the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Bureau of Census will participate in certain programs.

The program will be held at The World Trade Center of New Orleans, The Plimsoll Club, 30th Floor 2 Canal Street, Suite 2900 New Orleans, LA 70130. Registration and continental breakfast will begin at 8:00am on April 21. The program will begin at 9:00am and end at 4:00pm on both days.

Latest news on the Cowboys

Garrett explains play calls
Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett didn't back down from his decision to throw in the direction of eight-time Pro Bowler Champ Bailey. Bailey intercepted a pass in the red zone and broke up Tony Romo's potential tying TD pass to Sam Hurd in the end on the final play in the 17-10 loss at Denver. […] [Read More]
Romo's lack of chemistry with receivers becoming an issue
Just four games into the season, signs are starting to surface that the Cowboys receiving corps is unhappy it can't seem to get on the same page with quarterback Tony Romo. Roy Williams, the No. 1 wideout, has only 11 catches, meaning he's on pace for just 44, a ridiculously low amount for a player […] [Read More]
Phillips says Cowboys aren't trying to change Romo into bus driver
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips denied Wednesday that the team is trying to change Tony Romo from a gunslinger into a bus driver. "(Media) are making that change, or people are trying to say that," Phillips said. "We're just trying to make him be a good quarterback and do the things he has done in the […] [Read More]
Tony Romo can count to four
Here's what Romo told the Kansas City media in a conference call today about whether he knew it was fourth down when he threw the final pass to Sam Hurd in Denver on Sunday: "It was fourth down, everybody knew it was fourth down," Romo said. "We called it in the huddle. The play call […] [Read More]
Center-QB exchange problems newest worry for Cowboys
Cowboys center Andre Gurode is sitting out practice today with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. If Gurode can't go in Kansas City, the Cowboys would turn to either Cory Procter or Duke Preston. Can't you just see Dallas suffering a turnover at Arrowhead Stadium via a center-quarterback exchange fumble? WR Roy […] [Read More]
