|Resetting Patriots depth chart in backfield
|04.12.16 at 4:31 pm ET
With the changes over the offseason — and the draft approaching — it's worth taking a look at the Patriots backfield as it stands right now.
LeGarrette Blount: The veteran — he'll turn 30 in December — agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Patriots on Tuesday. The 6-foot-1, 245-pounder, who was limited to 12 games last season, saw his year come to a premature end because of a hip injury. He ended the season with 165 carries for 703 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and six touchdowns. Blount was at his best when he was part of a rotation that included Dion Lewis. While the Patriots will almost certainly chase after after more depth at the position in the draft, at this point on the calendar, he projects as the No. 1 between-the-tackles back.
Dion Lewis: The 5-foot-8, 195-pounder was a revelation last season — in his first year with the Patriots, the 25-year-old seized command of the third-down role. He had 49 carries for 234 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns to go along with 36 catches, 388 yards and two receiving touchdowns. Without him in the lineup — a knee injury ended his season after just seven games — the Patriots leaned heavily on James White, and the youngster had some good moments. But if Lewis is healthy coming into 2016, that's his job.
James White: As previously mentioned, the Patriots turned to White as the lead option on third down after Lewis went down, and the 24-year-old responded with 40 catches for 410 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season (not to mention 22 carries for 56 yards and a pair of touchdowns). The 5-foo-9, 204-pound White provides depth on third down, but it'll be interesting to see how snaps shake out over the course of the spring and summer if Lewis is healthy.
Brandon Bolden: Bolden is known more for his special teams skills than his work as a running back, but has managed to provide the Patriots with plenty of depth since his arrival in 2012, something he'll be tasked with doing again in 2016. The 26-year-old, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound bruiser, isn't really an option as a long-term starter, bur he has shown a nice ability to fill in as a more of a between-the-tackles guy and as a pass catcher out of the backfield. He finished last season with 63 carries for 207 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and 19 catches for 180 yards and a pair of receiving touchdowns. Look for him in the same role this year.
Donald Brown: The newly acquired Brown — who was the subject of one of the best NFL highlights of all time — could be an intriguing piece of the puzzle this season. The 5-foot-11, 210-pounder out of UConn really struggled the last two seasons with the Chargers, but the 29-year-old could be the latest example of the buy-low attitude the Patriots have had when it comes to running backs the last decade or so. Brown averaged 3.14 yards per carry the last two season with San Diego, a far cry from his 2013 totals in Indy when he finished with 537 rushing yards, six touchdowns and a career best 5.3 yards per carry average, not to mention 27 catches for 214 yards and two receiving touchdowns. If he can regain his old form, it could shake up the depth chart a bit this summer.
Joey Iosefa: The fullback, who will turn 25 in June, had his one shining moment in 2015 when he carried 14 times for 51 yards in a December win over the Titans. Provided he stays healthy, the 6-foot, 245-pounder out of Hawaii, who was signed to a futures contract in January, will be part of the conversation at the fullback spot in 2016.
James Develin: The incumbent fullback, who will turn 28 this summer, missed all of 2015 with a broken right tibia he suffered in the preseason. His absence was one of the more underrated aspects of a stalled New England ground game at the end of the year, but the 6-foot-3, 251-pounder figures to be back in 2016.
|Bill Belichick won't acknowledge reported Steven Jackson signing, does say roster move 'definitely possible'
|12.21.15 at 12:42 pm ET
Bill Belichick isn't ready to talk about Steven Jackson.
Like he did last Friday when asked about the running back, the coach didn't want to comment on the 32-year-old, although it's been reported by many he's signing with the team.
"I'm not going to comment on any players that aren't on our team," Belichick said Monday's noon conference call.
Later he was asked directly if a roster addition is possible in the next 24-48 hours, and the coach was a little more direct.
"At this time of year, yeah, it's definitely possible," he said.
In Sunday's win over the Titans the team had James White, Brandon Bolden and Joey Iosefa in the backfield. Iosefa was the leading rusher, as he ran for 51 yards on 14 carries, while Bolden had 26 yards on 10 carries. White was a major factor catching passes out of the backfield, as he had seven catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. Bolden, primarily a special-teamer, didn't play a snap on special teams in the game because of his running back duties.
Belichick thought his backs ran hard despite facing a tough Tennessee defense and played a role in the team's 33-16 win.
Bill Belichick finally got his man.
The Patriots coach, who always has shown an affinity for veteran running back Steven Jackson, apparently is going to make it official Monday, as New England is set to sign the 32-year-old back to a one-year deal for the remainder of the 2015 season.
As we initially explained here, it's debatable how much Jackson has left in the tank. But it's been clear over the years that Belichick has been impressed by his skill set, dating all the way back to 2004, when he worked him out as a collegian. The Patriots didn't end up drafting him, but he was a favorite of the New England coach.
"I went out there and met with him and spent the whole day, pretty much the whole day with him out there — he was a very impressive individual," Belichick said of Jackson in the days before a Patriots-Rams game in 2012.
"Obviously a big, strong kid that runs well, that catches the ball very well," Belichick added. "Very good in the passing game — he's a little underrated in that area. Good in blitz pickup. A smart guy. Has really had an outstanding career. He was definitely a guy we were very much interested in. Like I said, I personally spent quite a bit of time with him."
The 6-foot-3, 229-pound Jackson, who turned 32 last summer, has run for 11,388 yards over the course of his career in stints with the Rams and Falcons. Now, after not playing all year, Jackson enters an uncertain running back picture in New England. The Patriots have lost LeGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis for the season. On Sunday against Tennessee, New England relied heavily on the likes of Brandon Bolden, James White and Joey Iosefa in the 33-16 win over the Titans.
Despite the fact that Belichick always has viewed running backs as a fungible asset, the presence of a healthy Jackson down the stretch and into the postseason could be an intriguing asset for an offense that needs just enough from the running game to make the opposing defense concerned about the threat of the ground attack. Meanwhile, Iosefa could work in relief of Jackson as a big, between-the-tackles presence and White would serve as the third-down option out of the backfield. (That doesn't even bring up the possibility of recently signed practice squadder Montee Ball entering into the mix at some point.)
There's a significant domino effect in play here as well, as Bolden — who made his bones as a special teamer — didn't play a single special teams snap in Sunday's win over the Titans. With the presence of Jackson in the lineup, it could free up Bolden to return to his special teams gig for the rest of the year.

|Scouting Report: What you need to know about Titans-Patriots
|12.19.15 at 1:55 pm ET
Here's everything you need to know when the Patriots (11-2) take on the Titans (3-10) Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
Because of injuries, no part of the New England personnel unit has changed more dramatically than the backfield this year, and more tweaks are still to come as the regular season winds down and the playoffs looms. The Patriots, now bereft of LeGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis, figure to go with some sort of combination of Brandon Bolden (35 carries, 110 yards, 3.1 yards per carry) and James White (16 carries, 41 yards, 2.6 yards per carry) for the foreseeable future, with the possibility of Montee Ball and Steven Jackson being worked into the mix at some point. Unless Ball is activated between now and Saturday night, it appears that it'll be Bolden's job on Sunday against the Titans. On the other side of the ball, Tennessee is 17th in the league against the run, having allowed an average of 111.5 rushing yards per contest. In 11 of their 13 games this season, the Titans have allowed 80 or more rushing yards, including seven games where opponents topped the 100-plus yard mark. That includes last week against the Jets, who ran for 183 yards against Tennessee in a game that was over by the second quarter. Ultimately, while the loss of the lead back in Blount isn't the sort of crippling blow that would necessarily derail most teams, it'll force the Patriots to get a little creative with their ground game the rest of the way. That project figures to get off the ground Sunday afternoon against Tennessee.
Slowly but surely, the Patriots passing game is returning to where it was in late October. Tom Brady (64.2 completion rate, 4,138 passing yards, 33 TDs, 6 INTs, 103.6 passer rating) regained Danny Amendola (62 catches, 81 targets, 628 yards, 3 TDs) a couple of weeks ago and Rob Gronkowski (61 catches, 96 targets, 1,018 yards, 10 TDs) last week against the Texans. While Julian Edelman (61 catches, 88 targets, 692 yards, 7 TDs) is still a week or so away by most reports, the groundwork for his return is already being laid with a return to what appears to be a regular practice schedule. If the Patriots are able to get their core of pass-catchers — a group that includes White (26 catches, 38 targets, 248 yards, 2 TDs) and Brandon LaFell (30 catches, 64 targets, 401 yards) — back before the start of the playoffs, New England fans will have every right to start humming "Happy Days Are Here Again." On the other side, Tennessee enters Sunday's game ninth in the league in passing yards allowed with 232.5. (For some perspective, the Patriots are seventh at 230.8 passing yards yielded per game.) However, those numbers have dipped as of late because of the injury to Jason McCourty — the Titans have allowed at least 250 passing yards in six of their last nine games. In addition, the fact that Derrick Morgan (and his 4.5 sacks) are now gone for the season puts more pressure on the defenders who remain to get pressure on the quarterback up front and extend some of those over times on the back end. Per Football Outsiders, the Titans are good at locking up opposing backs in the passing game, but are at or near the bottom of the league when it comes to slowing just about any other types of pass catchers. Could mean a big day for the likes of a healthy Amendola and Gronkowski.
|Why Bill Belichick passes on picking up running backs
|12.18.15 at 10:59 am ET
FOXBORO — There's always the chance Bill Belichick signs a running back in the last three weeks to help out with depth on the roster.
But if you're expecting the Patriots coach to find a feature running back who can do it all, that's something altogether different, as he made clear Friday.
There was plenty of talk this week about the Patriots bringing in a back like Steven Jackson to help carry some of the running game load. But on Friday, Belichick shed some light as to why adding a back at this time of season can be a very tricky proposition.
So while it might seem Belichick was being defensive in his refusal to talk about Jackson on Friday, there's also the reality that if Belichick were to sign Jackson at this stage of the season, given the Patriots pass-heavy offense, the coach might be very limited in what he could demand of him in return.
"I think it depends on what you ask the player to do," Belichick said. "If you hand him the ball, [it's] probably not too difficult. Once you get into the passing game ' pass protection, pass routes, adjustments in the passing game ' you're talking about a much, much, much, much more complex and a lot more variations. In terms of running the ball you just get the footwork, get the ball handling and give the player an understanding of the blocking scheme, which he's probably I'd say in most cases seen before ' zone schemes or some kind of gap schemes.
"There are basic fundamentals in the running game. You either basically zone block them or you gap block them. Everything pretty much fits into one of those two categories. I would say most backs have probably somewhere along the line run those, but when you start getting into the pass protections and base defenses and sub defenses and routes versus man, routes versus zone, situational plays and all that, it's a whole different ball game."
In other words, Belichick is saying that while it's not ideal to be down to Brandon Bolden and James White, there are other methods for attacking the short-yardage game with the offense he and Tom Brady already have in place.
"I think we've done it a couple times. It's certainly not ideal. But could we do it? Given our offense, we have versatility," Belichick said. "We have other ways of dealing with things. But we played the majority of the game last week with two. Again, it's not ideal, but you've still got to do what you feel like gives your team the best chance to win. Again I would say if you lose two of any player at any position ' pick any position you want ' there are probably going to be some issues. I mean you might be able to lose two receivers and still, but you're not going to be able to run your sub packages with multiple '¦ You're going to lose something on that. There is just no way to go into a game and have three of everything. It's impossible."

|Why Patriots trust Brandon Bolden to replace LeGarrette Blount
|12.15.15 at 3:30 pm ET
If LeGarrette Blount is out for an extended period of time, the Patriots have no hesitation about giving Brandon Bolden a chance to fill that void in the running attack.
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels made that very clear Tuesday in a weekly conference call when he pointed to Bolden demeanor and work ethic as qualities that make him the perfect choice to move forward with the run game. Bolden has been paying his dues as one of the most valuable core players on the special teams unit while spelling Blount when needed. Now, with Blount nursing a significant hip injury, it's Bolden's time to shine.
"I think that comes with maturity," McDaniels said. "It's hard to stay focused maybe when you're real young and you're not playing a whole lot in a specific role to understand how valuable your preparation is and how close you really are to playing. That's a challenge for everybody. There are a lot of players that back people up and I think the more they mature, the more they understand how close they are to playing [then] the easier it is to prepare and get ready to play like you're going to be in there on every snap. I think we have a lot of guys in our locker-room that are ready if their numbers called and are ready if something should happen and they're called to duty and Brandon is definitely one of them."
Bolden had 11 carries for 29 yards after Blount left with a hip injury Sunday night. While those numbers are certainly not eye-popping, his work as a core member of special teams and his ability to pop a big run at key times are facets of his game that catch the attention of the coaching staff.
Facing a third-and-8 at the Patriots 33 and the team wanting to run out the clock, Bolden hit the left side for 11 yards and a first down.
"We trust him to be in the game in those critical situations when you get a lot of different looks from the defense," McDaniels said. "He studies hard. He's a guy that comes to work and prepares well. There's always been a lot of talent with Brandon and his dependability and his ability to do a lot of different things within our offense has just improved with each year that he's been here. Brandon's a good runner and he does a lot of things that are really valuable to our football team whether it be on offense or in the kicking game. We'll try to certainly do the best thing we can here going forward in terms of how we use him among the rest of our backs."
"The play that he made at the end of the game last week in Houston was a really good cut, good play on his part," Bill Belichick added. "I don't think we had the play blocked for the kind of yards he made on that play. He got six or seven yards with his vision and getting the ball into space on the cut back and probably made another four or five yards just with his running strength and balance to knock over a couple tacklers and pick up the first down. Probably a little over half that yardage came on his vision, his run instinct and then a few extra yards came on his physical running style and balance. I think that run is a good indication of all those things being a part of his playing style and effectiveness."
|Bill Belichick on the reappearance of the run game: 'We tried to stick with it'
|12.14.15 at 6:55 pm ET
HOUSTON — Whether or not Bill Belichick heard the whispers about the lack of a run game to complement Tom Brady's right arm, the fact of the matter is the Patriots came out with more resolve Sunday night to run the ball.
The Patriots had 15 carries for 75 yards in the first half, good for a 5.0 per carry average. LeGarrette Blount, before leaving with a hip injury, had 53 yards on just 10 carries while Brandon Bolden carried five times for 22 yards. Both backs had at least one rush for at least 10 yards.
This factored into the protection plan for the quarterback, as Brady was not sacked once and was hurried only a few times while completing 13-of-18 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns. In the last four games before Sunday, the Patriots ran the ball 22, 23, 16 and 25 times as the hit totals on Brady continued to mount.
"Well, we tried to stick with it, make them play it," Belichick said of taking the run to the Texans. "We had our moments. There were times when we were able to punch out some plays and some important plays. The touchdown run on third-and-two ' that was a big play for us. We had a third-down conversion on [Brandon] Bolden's sweep there on a third-and-four, third-and-five … that was another big third-down conversion. So there were some plays like that were kind of timely plays.
"Houston is a tough team to run against. They've got a lot of very disruptive players. Vince [Wilfork] is a big guy in the middle, obviously, but between [Jadeveon] Clowney and [J.J.] Watt on both edges plus [Whitney] Mercilus, they're really athletic and explosive and powerful out there, so it's a tough matchup. The got us from behind a couple times when we had decent blocking, actually good blocking on a couple plays, and they just got us from behind. I'm not sure there are too many other players in the league that could have made the plays that Watt or Clowney made on a couple of those running plays. You've got to give them some credit, but I thought we competed in the running game."

We found that one in a million student athlete, so without further ado here's Clarkston High School sophomore and P1FCU "Prep Athlete of the Week." Dylan Beeler who shows us it's his drive, heart and love of sports that keeps him on top.
Success in and out of sports is directly related to how much sacrifice, dedication, and desire one has to be the best. And for 220lb six foot two sophomore Dylan Beeler he has to strive three times harder than the single sport athlete.
"My favorite is football, I like to play that the best," said Beeler. "And wrestling is close second and so is baseball. It's really just whatever sport I'm in is my favorite really."
Right now Beeler is toppling his competition in wrestling, which might not come as a surprise since he's been wrestling since the ripe age of five.
"Hard work and dedication that's the secret," said Beeler.
Much easier said then done.
"We get up at six and run four miles and then we do sprints and all types of exercises just to stay in shape," said Beeler.
It's that hard work that pays off as he's 25 and one on the season and not letting up anytime soon!
"My goal is to win state, and I think that's a reasonable goal," said Beeler. "I've already beat a lot of number ones in the state."
But for those opponents it's a harsh reality knowing that they just got beat by only a sophomore.
"They're just like holy crap you're only a sophomore, just like that kids strong," said Beeler.
Strong on the mats and in the classroom as Dylan's desire to be number one is not just limited to athletics.
"I got a 4.0 and I'm in a couple honors classes and it's going good," said Beeler.
A great student, solid character and stellar athlete are just a few reasons as to why Dylan Beeler is this weeks P1FCU "Prep Athlete of the Week."

Last place to first common in NFL
It's never a surprise anymore in the NFL when a team goes from last place to the top of its division in one year.
When it happens this season, it would mark 11 consecutive years for a basement dweller moving up to the penthouse.
And it will definitely occur in the NFC South, because either New Orleans or Carolina, both 10-4 and facing off today, will take the sector.
They tied for the bottom spot with Tampa Bay in the division in 2012.
The strongest possibilities for an outright last-place team to win its division this year are in the NFC East and North.
Philadelphia was 4-12 a season ago, and if it beats Chicago tonight while Dallas loses to Washington, it will take the East.
Detroit, also 4-12 in 2012, needs some help to grab the North, but is in contention heading into this weekend.
Kansas City is tied with Denver with 11-3 marks in the AFC West and both have made the playoffs.
The Chiefs were 2-14 last season, and if they can finish in front of the Broncos -- who swept them this year -- they will have made the big climb from bottom to top.
- Dwight Jones is back in an NFL locker room more than a year after walking away from the game.
Some thought the wide receiver simply lost his desire to play football.
The truth was he needed to be closer to his dying son.
"My son was born real sick," Jones told reporters Wednesday after his first practice with the New York Jets after being signed to their practice squad. "A lot of people didn't understand my story. They just thought I quit football. I didn't just quit football."
Jones went undrafted out of North Carolina in 2012 despite catching 85 passes for 1,196 yards and 12 touchdowns in the 2011 season for the Tar Heels. He was signed by the Houston Texans as a free agent, and confidently declared he would be the next Andre Johnson.
But Jones curiously left the team in May of that offseason.
His son, Deizean, was born with lung, heart and brain disorders in September 2011, and doctors weren't sure how long he'd live.
So, Jones abruptly ended his pursuit of his NFL dream to care for his son.
"I tried to play football, but it just didn't feel right," he said. "It was the worst feeling of my life."
Deizean died on July 6, 2013, due to his medical issues.
After mourning his son, Jones decided to give football another try -- in Deizean's memory.
He worked out for the Jets on Tuesday, was signed to their practice squad and dropped to his knees after getting the news that he was officially back in the NFL.
"I'm here," Jones said. "God works in mysterious ways. A lot of people doubted me, said they thought I was done. ... I'm just happy to be back playing."

LUBBOCK - Dumas had a different head softball coach this season. But unfortunately for the Demonettes, the results were almost exactly the same as last time when they faced Big Spring in the playoffs.
A year ago, the Lady Steers eliminated Dumas by a 2-0 score. This season, Big Spring pitcher Alex Watkins shut out the Demonettes again, this time by a 3-0 margin in the Class 4A regional quarterfinal playoff game Thursday night here at Lady Westerner Field.
Dumas, the winner of District 3-4A, finishes the year 19-10. The Lady Steers, the runners-up of 4-4A, are now 22-9-1 and will face the winner of North Richland Hills-Birdville/Wichita Falls Rider contest, which was played last night in Graham.
The sophomore Watkins proved to be too much again for the Demonettes. This time, she struck out 13, allowing two hits and walking just one. Dumas head softball coach Jeff Williams acknowledged Watkins' prowess.
"We faced a heck of a pitcher right there," Williams said. "She had it going. She moved the ball around well and threw the ball hard. She's a pitcher, not just a flame thrower.
"We couldn't get anything going. It was the first time we've been shut out all season long. We're heartbroken. We know we have a solid team and we know that we can hit anybody."
Dumas pitcher Heather Shafer (16-8) didn't post quite as lofty numbers as Watkins, but the 5-foot-7 senior and the Demonettes kept the Lady Steers off the scoreboard for all but one inning. Big Spring scored three runs in the third inning, taking advantage of some errors a long the way.
"That (committing errors) is unusual for us," Williams said. Following Watkins' leadoff double, Laura Olague bunted back to Shafer in an attempt to sacrifice. However, Shafer hurried her throw, which was off the mark and Watkins scored for a 1-0 Big Spring lead. That lead grew to 3-0 lead after Samantha Newton, the No. 8 hitter in the Lady Steers' lineup, delivered a two-run single.
Dumas' best chance to score came in the second inning. With one out, Crystal Hokanson walked and reached second after Big Spring second baseman, Leina Braxton, dropped a fielder's choice ball. Immediately after the Braxton error, Shafer sacrificed the runners to second and third.
However, Watkins came back to strike out Dumas' Sabre Black and got Big Spring out of the inning.
Big Spring 003 000 0 - 3 8 2
Dumas 000 000 0 - 0 2 4
Alex Watkins and Courtney Rodriguez. Heather Shafer and Shandi Davis. W-Watkins. L-Shafer (16-8). 2B-BS: Watkins and Leina Braxton. Records-Dumas ends the season 19-10. Big Spring 22-9-1.

Hi, I'm Noa, a fashion and textile designer.
I split my days between teaching Fashion Design classes and designing sewing patterns and tutorials for accessories (which I guess is a also a form of teaching).
I also provide printing on leather services for fellow designers (if that interests you - drop me a line!)
These are all my ways to making our world a more colorful place.
There is really nothing like that wonderful feeling that comes along with making something beautiful with your own two hands (You know what I'm talking about, don't you?!).
I hope you'll enjoy my sewing patterns as I put much thought into making them as simple and clear as possible.
Thank you for your time, now go create something beautiful!
This sewing pattern for a Coin Purse and Card Holder is one of my earliest designs, and I still use this purse every day.
This cute little purse is super useful whenever you go out and don't want to carry a big purse or bag. Sports, hiking, yoga, walking your dog, going to the beach or going out at night - attach your keys and grab some cash, coins and a credit card - and you're good to go!
This is a very easy to make pattern - with just a couple of seams!
You can make these cute purses using fun colorful leather or pleather, These simple-to-make purses may be wonderful handmade gifts for your friends and family.
They are also a great gift idea for new business owners as a cool card holder!
The download file includes an actual sized pattern for printing, as well as clear and detailed sketched instructions on how to make the purse. It is a total of 8 pages including colorful photos.
Please note that this sewing pattern is for personal use only. It is not intended for commercial purposes or large scale manufacturing. Please do not share, resell, copy or transfer.
Thank you and have fun with it!

Appropriately, the Amarillo Independent School District athletic department's cash cow sits across the street from the stockyards.
Since installing a new synthetic turf in 1998, Dick Bivins Stadium has grown into the Panhandle's mecca for playoff football.
Before installing the $538,222 FieldTurf playing surface 1998, Dick Bivins Stadium usually sat dark in November unless an AISD team had won a home-and-home flip.
But since 1998, teams line up for a chance to play under the Bivins lights.
"It used to be nothing but mud," Springlake-Earth coach Rick Hulett said. "It was just like all the other high school stadiums around here. By the time we got to the playoffs, the field was worn out. There wasn't any grass left on it."
Since 1998, Dick Bivins Stadium has hosted 39 games not involving AISD schools, drawing a total of 108,265 fans with gate receipts amounting to $206,711. If you throw in the five games involving AISD schools, the attendance jumps up to 149,250 paying $293,523 to enter the facility. Those numbers do not include Saturday's games between Amarillo High and El Paso Franklin plus Borger against Brownfield.
In addition to paying admission, fans also spend money on concessions at the stadium plus dining and shopping at Amarillo businesses.
Dick Bivins Stadium is also used for regular-season football games, scrimmages, soccer games, marching band contests and track meets. In 2000, the Franklin Graham religious festival brought in a stadium-record 73,000 attendance during three days.
The main attraction of Dick Bivins Stadium is its FieldTurf surface. FieldTurf is one of the new generation of artificial surfaces that plays like natural grass but retains the durability and drainage of a synthetic field. In 1998, Dick Bivins Stadium was among the first facilities in the nation to have FieldTurf. The surface proved itself in 1998 the day after a severe thunderstorm swept through the Panhandle forcing several game delays from Friday to Saturday. Dick Bivins Stadium hosted four games, either in their entirety or in parts, the day following the delays. The weather was wet that day but the stadium turf held up despite the storms and the lengthy usage.
Before 1998, AISD Athletic Director Tex Nolan can remember just one football playoff game at Dick Bivins not involving an AISD team. The stadium will host two playoff games this weekend, a Class 1A doubleheader involving Stratford taking on Springlake-Earth and Nazareth playing Sunray. Last weekend Dick Bivins Stadium hosted six first-round playoff games. Dick Bivins Stadium missed out on two games this weekend because Panhandle teams lost flips.
There are two Class 1A playoff games tonight at Dick Bivins Stadium. Stratford (8-2) takes on Springlake-Earth (9-2) at 5 p.m. Following that game, Sunray (8-2) meets Nazareth (9-2).
"The big thing for us is we don't have to worry about what kind of condition the field is going to be in," Stratford coach Brad Thiessen said. "This time of year, everybody's field is either really hard or it's mud. But there you always know you're going to have a nice surface, and you don't have to worry about your footing."
Without a doubt, the surface is the attraction for area football coaches. Before 1998, Dick Bivins Stadium had a natural grass surface that had usually worn out by November. All four AISD high schools play on the field, so by the time the playoffs rolled around, the AISD schools had churned up the field and the grass had died. Schools outside the AISD played anywhere except Dick Bivins.
"There wasn't any in-between. It was either really hard or all mud. The kids were always getting their knees and elbows all skinned up, and it was like playing on concrete. Either that or you were slipping and sliding and you could barely stand up," Thiessen said.
Now Dick Bivins regularly is hosts for playoff games.
"The field itself is the attraction for us," Sunray coach Bryan Wood said. "We played there last year right after PD (Palo Duro) had played. It was kind of a wet and rainy day, and I thought the field would be really wet too. But it wasn't at all. It drains really well, and the wind was blowing just enough to completely dry it out. That was pretty impressive."
Nolan and the AISD offer a classic turnkey operation to teams wanting to play at Dick Bivins Stadium. The AISD charges $1,200 per game for use of the facility and provides all support personnel and processes reports to the University Interscholastic League. The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce provides funds for trophies. The schools must agree on officials.
"All I have to do is show up," Hulett said. "I don't have to worry about anything else other than playing football, and that's nice to do. Just get the kids to the stadium and play the game."
Last weekend, Bivins hosted two doubleheaders Friday and Saturday.
The AISD charged $6 and $3 per ticket and brought in roughly $8,000 in gate receipts. The total expenses came to $4,850 and each school received a check from the AISD of $780.32.
"It's very rare that we don't send the schools a check instead of a bill," Nolan said. "We try to take care of everything for the teams so they don't have to worry about anything once they get here. We don't have to do much selling of the facility now. We have people calling us. At first, it went kind of slow because the schools were not sure we could handle more than one game a day. But once we proved we could handle that, we have a lot of inquiries, especially this time of year."
The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce estimates each out-of-town visitor who does not spend the night in Amarillo spends an average of $30 per person on food, shopping and gas. Using that formula, games involving non-AISD teams at Dick Bivins have brought in $2,581,530 into the Amarillo economy since 1998. If you factor in the AISD playoff games, then the number jumps to $3,286,080 since 1998. Those attendance numbers do not include teams, coaches, support personnel, bands and pep squads that enter the stadium at no charge but could still spend money in Amarillo on food, shopping or fuel. Those attendance numbers also do not include a band contest in 2002 that attracted 39 bands and about 12,000 attendees.
"Those playoffs obviously have a big impact. Amarillo is such a sports-minded town that it's natural to have a lot of events here," Amarillo Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Quality of Life Council Becky Zenor said.
"When they come here, we know they like to do a lot of shopping, and they eat while they're here and we're very appreciative of the people in the outlying area."

Gay soldiers, a rabbi and Mr X
In newspapers, a 'shock' is not always what it is cracked up to be
There is a secret life of headlines. Most of the specific complaints that are ever made to me about what I write have something to do with what I didn't write: the headline. A large amount of what people imagine they read in my columns exists in the headlines, and not in my copy. And so it is with news stories, too.
Of course, the headline above this column, which I haven't read and can hardly imagine, will be impeccable. But elsewhere?
OK, so, two weeks ago the JC ran a story by Marcus Dysch (dysch is, of course, Yiddish, for a good looker) headed: Shock at gay film shown to teenagers. You can immediately spot the problem. What on earth is the shock at a gay film being shown to teenagers (unless it is a gay porn film, but then it would certainly say "porn" in the headline)? It would surely be more of a shock if a gay film wasn't shown to teenagers.
But "shock" is one of those words that has the quality of expressing a big, clear thing in very few letters, like "chaos" or "rage". Or "storm". By and large, complex or subtle emotions and arguments require a greater number of letters, and letters take space and space is something headline writers don't have. As opposed to column writers who, you may be thinking by now, have too much of it.
The Daily Mail used to have a fall-back system whereby, if nothing was going on, they would discover a new liberalism, and then get a Conservative back-bencher to criticise it. This criticism would then be the justification for a headline beginning "Storm Over… " And then the subject. Eventually, this phenomenon became known as "a storm-over".
One of my favourite newspaper games is to seek the "storm" in the story. What does it actually amount to? Who, in the case of the gay film, was shocked? A moment of Dan Brown type recapitulation here, in which, instead of the history of the Illuminati or the creation of the God Particle, I remind you of the gay film tale. So… Bunch of teenagers about to go to Israel attend a sleepover organised by Liberal Jewish Youth. They're shown films for pre-orientation, whatever that is. One is the Israeli equivalent of Brokeback Mountain, featuring gay romance in the IDF. Film has 15 certificate; kids are 15. Liberal Jews, Israel, teenagers, film about gays. Not a big surprise.
Except to Mr X from "south west London", whose daughter it was — according to him — who had been shocked by the "totally inappropriate" film.
Mr X wanted to be anonymous — he said to protect his progeny, but I suspect it is because his family doesn't know he lives out, and imagine that he has a house in Radlett.
Or maybe he wanted to be protected from the charge of looking a bit silly. This is what he went on to say: "We're not homophobic at all. It's Liberal Judaism, so we expect them to have liberal values, but this was the first meeting and it appears they are already trying to peddle those values to our children. On the parents' evening, we were told they'd be discussing vegetarianism."
Try working out the associations in that. You can only show gay films on a second meeting? Or, "first they came for the carnivores, but I didn't speak out, and then they came for the (non-homophobic) heterosexuals"? "Peddling"?
My bewilderment was nearly completed by Mr X's revelation that, two years before, his niece (hold on, isn't he now traceable? His cover blown?) had been to the same event and seen the same film. So how come his daughter was so shocked? Don't the cousins speak? More to the point, is the niece now a tofu-eating, gay, male, Israeli soldier?
I said nearly completed. The Rabbi responsible (Rabbi Rich) was then quoted as saying, "Young people need to see films that challenge them. Perhaps the parents concerned come from a different generation." I should jolly well hope so, Rabbi! Now that would be a shock.

The 76,000-gallon holding tank the Hunley rests in will be filled for the first time with a chemical solution designed to save the fragile iron submarine from deterioration. During the Civil War, the Hunley made history in 1864 with the sinking of the USS Housatonic. Shortly after the attack, the submarine's crew signaled to shore they were on the way back to land, but then instead, mysteriously vanished without a trace. She remained lost at sea for more than a century, until an expedition funded by author Clive Cussler discovered her location in 1995.
Scientists have been working to excavate and conserve the Hunley since she was recovered from the ocean floor in 2000. This first soak in a conservation bath marks a major milestone in the efforts to save the legendary submarine. The salts in ocean water are like poison to metal. These salts permeated the Hunley's iron skin during her 136 years at sea, leaving her at risk for corrosion and disintegration if they are not removed.
"Today is a very big day and a major advancement for our work. Losing an artifact as historically important as the Hunley is simply not an option. Conserving something this large and complex has never been done before and it took years of planning to get us to this point," said Nestor Gonzalez, assistant director of Clemson University's Warren Lasch Conservation Center.
The tank will be filled with sodium hydroxide, a chemical solution designed to leach out the salts threatening the submarine. This will be the Hunley's first of many long soaks in the chemical bath and should last about three months. The goal of the first bath is mainly to loosen up the rock-like layer of sand, sediment and rust, often referred to as concretion, that built up slowly over time around the submarine. Concretion currently coats the entire vessel and, in some places, is harder and stronger than the actual iron it covers. Scientists must carefully remove the layer of debris because it inhibits the effectiveness of the conservation treatment from leaching out the salts.
Chipping away the concretion is a necessary step in successfully conserving the Hunley, and those working to solve the mystery of her disappearance are hopeful it will also yield valuable new clues. It has been very difficult to conduct their investigation when they have not been able to view and study large portions of the submarine since it has been covered with this substance. The concretion could very possibly be masking critical data. For example, historical records indicate the Hunley was spotted by the enemy and fired upon shortly before her attack. During the removal process, scientists could uncover bullet damage that may have impacted the Hunley's ability to return that night. Or, they could find countless other clues and evidence that will shed light as to why she vanished.
"This will be an exciting phase for the project. We will be able to see the true surface of the Hunley for the first time. Chiseling away the concretion will allow us to travel back in time, potentially helping us learn what happened to the Hunley and her crew that night," said Hunley Commission Chairman and Lt. Governor Glenn McConnell.
The tank will be drained for short intervals, allowing scientists time to remove the debris material covering the submarine. The process of removing the concretion is expected to last approximately a year and then the Hunley's conservation treatment can begin to take full effect. The submarine will continue to soak for the next five to seven years in the chemical preservation solution, which experts say will need to be replaced every three or four months.

The greens will be lightning fast, the fairways tighter than a miser's grip - and the snakes well and truly alive at Fanling this week, says Iain Roberts, the Hong Kong Golf Club's resident professional.
All the ingredients are there for a fascinating week as Hong Kong welcomes back the leading professionals on the Asian Tour and European Tour. Apart from the normal obstacle they will face on the course, nature could provide them with an extra hurdle.
'A snake was spotted by the course manager just three weeks ago, and remembering the incidents we had last year, it would seem that we could be in for an interesting week,' laughs Roberts (pictured).
Last year, two visiting players reported encounters of the slithery kind on the 10th hole. Thailand's Chawalit Plaphol and Swede Daniel Chopra both had brushes with snakes - the latter even stepping on the tail of one as he searched for his ball in the rough.
'We let the rough grow before the Hong Kong Open to make it harder for the professionals. When the rough is higher, they come out. The snake which was spotted a few weeks ago was a big one,' says Roberts.
A shocked Chopra's description last year: 'It must have been six or seven feet but it seemed like 10 feet. It was thick and brown.' According to Roberts, the description matched that of a cobra.
Snakes aside, Roberts warned visitors the greens would be the fastest seen at the Hong Kong Golf Club, which for the 49th straight year will host the Hong Kong Open.
'Historically it is tough to get speed on the greens. But this year it is fast and the area around the greens will be tougher. The players had better have their short game up to speed,' cautions Roberts, who two years ago became a fellow of the British Professional Golfers Association.
In his 13th year as the club's teaching professional - he is only the third resident professional after Taiwan's 'Mr' Lu Liang-huan and Joe Hardwick - the 48-year-old Roberts is familiar with every nook and cranny over the composite course at Fanling.
'The course has always been a testing one and you can expect more of the same. We have made the fairways narrower and added two fairway bunkers at the 10th which will tighten up the tee shot,' says Roberts.
'We are in line for the best Hong Kong Open. If it gets any cooler, the greens will be even faster. I'm pretty excited.'

To my pleasant surprise this weekend, while going about my business I was stopped by several New Yorkers, from various walks of life, all advertising information about the Occupy Wall Street protests. Occupy Wall Street seem to be on the top of everyone's mind these days or at least the tips of their tongues. Indeed, the spreading protests all over the country seem to harness a certain discontent present but aimless in the public unconsciousness. Love them or hate them, there is definitely a public zeitgeist surrounding the whole thing. Visiting the goings on downtown I was reminded of the power and necessity of cheaply produced posters, pamphlets and broadsides and their relationship to organized resistance. With thoughts of protest and grass roots organization I happened onto the newest show at Boo Hooray Gallery on Canal Street in Chinatown.Continue Reading →

Book Swap set for Sept. 1 in Hawthorn Park
The Canadohta Book Swap program will sponsor a giant book sale Saturday, Sept. 1. The sale will begin at 11 a.m. and run until dark at Hawthorn Park.
Hardcover books will cost 25 cents and paperback books will cost 10 cents. "We have titles for all ages, cookbooks, history books, technical works, romance novels, children's books and everything in between available for sale. There are more than 1,500 titles in all," said Ann Bergheim, who operates the popular program.
The Book Swap program was temporarily suspend in early August. The program stored its books and had winter hours on Sundays at the Canadohta Laundromat for the last seven years.
The wife of laundry owner Tom Wilson died earlier this summer and the building is now on the market. "We realized at some point we would have to find a new location and we are actively searching for one. We will reopen," Bergheim said.
"We will have the program back on track once we find a new location. It has been a popular program for many, many people, not just in the Lake region but from across the tri-state region."
All of the proceeds from the book swap sale will help to fund the future book swap program, Bergheim said.
Once the sale is completed at dusk, Light Up the Lake, an annual community event, begins with hundreds of candles, flares and camp fires ringing the lake. The event is a remembrance of all those from the lake community who have died.
The Canadohta Lake Area Business Association has luminaries for sale at Sally's on the Lake for this event, which can be used for Light Up the Night. Five outdoor candles can be purchased for $3, and the proceeds help to fund the July 4, 2013, fireworks display.
