The House of Representatives is poised to vote as early as tonight on a bill addressing a series of tax increases and spending cuts taking affect this week. But first lawmakers voted on a plan to freeze the salaries of lawmakers and federal employees.
House Democrats charged that the vote to freeze salaries was intended to provide political cover for conservative Republicans planning to vote against the fiscal cliff bill passed early Tuesday by the Senate.
The fiscal cliff deal, passed with 89 votes in the Senate, includes language that would block a 0.5 percent cost of living pay increase for lawmakers, reversing parts of an executive order Obama issued last week – because Congress had yet to set the federal government's pay scale for 2013.
via House pay freeze vote is for 'political cover,' Dems say.

I've spontaneously followed a job offer overseas more than once, and would do it again
I make life-long friends very quickly, and was once told by a wise person that I have an uncanny ability to both edify and uplift people. I don't do it consciously, but if the shoe fits...
I work for an online entertainment business. That may sound pedestrian, but there is a certain edge to the industry that keeps me alive and challenged, and I have a great team, each of whom will be part of my life long after I've left. I can honestly say I love what I do, and where I spend my days
I'm extroverted, love to travel (although have not done anywhere near enough of it), and am a perpetual culture-seeker (although I don't really know what I'm talking about!) But I have an eye. So if I give you a compliment, you've earned it :)

More cuts for higher education
Louisiana's leaders of higher education are preparing to cut another $85 million from their budgets after receiving word from the Jindal administration.
Although Gov. Bobby Jindal said he intends to spare colleges from more cuts this coming year, lower than expected tax collections may force lawmakers to hedge on their earlier promises.
February's revenue and sales tax collections were much lower than anticipated by state economists. Economists' projections are used to build the state budget.
Davis, the state commissioner of administration, said more will be known in April once March's revenue numbers are in after being "perplexed" by February's figures.
Southern University System interim President Kassie Freeman said additional budget cuts to colleges would be tough to sustain late in the spring semester.
"Certainly it's very complicating and difficult at this time," said Freeman, who added she was informed of the potential new cuts late Wednesday night.
Colleges have seen their state funding slashed by about 20 percent during the past 15 months, including $83.9 million slashed in January.
But Jindal also announced late Thursday afternoon via a news release that legislation for proposed constitutional amendments will begin being filed today to divert funds out of state education and tobacco settlement trust funds to better fund education and health care directly, at least in the short term. Such amendments would need two-thirds support from lawmakers and then voter approval.
Typically, higher education and health care are most vulnerable to budget cuts in the state because they are not constitutionally protected.
Although he did not have specific numbers yet, state Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Alan Levine on Tuesday said his budgets need a "prayer."
Jindal stated he wants to reduce required annual deposits to the tobacco settlement fund, called the Millennium Trust Fund, to free up possibly an extra $30 million for health-care services.
Jindal wants another constitutional amendment to help public schools and colleges dip further into the Louisiana Education Quality Trust Fund for budgetary aid. The money comes from a federal oil and gas settlement. The fund is called "8g" money, which stems from the amendment that set it up.
Jindal also wants to try again to allow state government to cut dedicated state funds by up to 10 percent — instead of 5 percent now — so cuts could rely less on schools and hospitals. A similar effort failed last year.
State Commissioner of Higher Education Sally Clausen sent an e-mail to college system presidents late Wednesday asking them to prepare for $84.4 million in possible additional cuts for the fiscal year that ends June 30.
Estimated breakdowns Clausen gave were $34.15 million in cuts to the LSU System, $4.4 million for the Southern System, $22.3 million for the University of Louisiana System and $10.1 million for the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
LSU System President John Lombardi declined comment on the possible cuts, citing their pending status, noting in an e-mail, "The information on any shortfall remains speculative at the moment, and the tools available to the state to address a possible shortfall are many."
But Southern Faculty Senate President Sudhir Trivedi said he is concerned the possible cuts will become a reality.
The added concern from higher education officials is that cuts will worsen more in 2011 when nearly $290 million in federal stimulus dollars keeping colleges afloat are expected to run dry.
Jindal also has proposed the "La GRAD Act" to give colleges the authority to increase tuition by up to 10 percent per year initially if they meet certain performance standards such as increases graduation rates.
Jindal contends tuition increases will help offset state budget cuts to colleges.

Happy back-at-it Monday Cougs, as we come off a wonderful Father's Day weekend and we hit the ground running for a new week of Rise 'n' Grind (or is it Rise 'N Grind? Or maybe Rise & Grind? Any grammar police want to weigh in, go for it, but it seems like the opinion is split on how to abbreviate "and"). I sincerely hope you all had a great weekend as father's everywhere were honored in some way, shape and form. We were busy Friday night and most of Saturday with my oldest son's Lacrosse tournament, which was a lot of fun for all. And for what it's worth? Lacrosse is getting HUGE up here in the NW! This Battle of Bothell tournament had 85 teams from around the region over the 5/6 and 7/8th grade levels. Some really great athletes out there playing this sport, and you can see why they love the game with all the back-and-forth action. This was our 6th grader's first season playing the game and I knew absolutely nothing about it prior to this spring, but it really is a great sport. I wonder if baseball might be in some trouble around here with that age group going forward as a spring activity? Because with the speed and fun of the game it is definitely attractive to the short-attention-span generation!.
Anyway we had a great day yesterday for Father's Day – had a really good AM run with great morning weather, my kids helped make a huge Sunday breakfast, we went to see Man of Steel (LOVED it btw), then had family over for a BBQ Sunday evening. Good stuff! But it's back to the GRIND today, so here we go.
Today's post is a little different than the usual links-n-such style roundup. Our loyal reader "OldSavage" has been writing a huge preview for the 2013 Cougs, something he shares with family and friends prior to the football season. We thought it would be a good idea to have him share it with the blog, so, today we will proceed with OldSavage's 2013 preview. This morning, we'll look back at 2012 and then look at the coaching staff and the offensive skill positions. Then later this week we'll check in on the O-line, the D-line, linebackers and secondary. So here we go…
By OldSavage
Starting with the BYU game and on through a drubbing in Tempe, it seemed that these were the worst of times, but then, for one damp, chilly November night, it was the best of times.
After nine months of hype and high expectations, it took a while for reality to set in. The "Air Raid" offense was completely stymied in Provo, by a mediocre BYU team, then squeaked by FCS Eastern Washington and a pitiful UNLV team (one win in the MWC) only to suffer the indignity of a come-from-behind loss to what was generally considered the worst BCS program in the country. Finally, the previously besotted fans and media came to realize the Mike Leach did not possess mystical powers and that a complete transition of technique and philosophy takes time, particularly when you start with mediocre talent.
I am probably the only person (not confined to a mental institution at the time) that thought the Cougs had a chance against the (#2) Oregon Ducks. And, while I humbly decline any credit (since I don't think the "visitors" brought their A-game), the Cougars made a surprising showing, particularly on the defensive side. This was followed by another good losing effort against the (#20) Beavers, a reasonable, if disappointing, showing at home against California and a near miss against the (#7) Cardinal. There was one more "good" loss, at home against PAC-12 South winner UCLA, sandwiched between the disasters at Utah and Arizona State. Finally, it was the Apple Cup and that toe, at the end of the chubby body of Andrew Furney, saved the season from complete calamity and left hope for the coming year.
Surprisingly, it was the defense which seemed to be the first to gel. Starting with the Oregon game, depth seemed to be the biggest problem and, if the offense could have just moved the ball consistently, the season might have looked very different. Also, the work of Eric Russell paid off and, except for one game, the Cougar special teams played good, consistent football – inconspicuous on coverage and returns but much improved on distance, accuracy and protection (at least until the UCLA game).
But it was the offense from which much was expected going into the season and, consequently, represented the biggest disappointment. In only one game did the Cougars exceed 500 yards of total offense and four times they totaled 255 or less. And this was almost all via the pass; the Cougars rushed for a measly 349 yards all year (after deductions for sacks). This was not the Air Raid offense the fans had been told to anticipate and I seriously doubt it was anything like what Leach expected. It was this lack of production from the offense that was at the core of most of the difficulties the Cougars encountered last year – both on and off the field – and I think there multiple root causes.
Most often designated as the culprit is the offensive line. Clearly the line lacked depth last year, with only six players available at times, and two of those previous walk-ons. Injury and attrition took a toll, both before and during the season, but other coaches have done more with less and there were red-shirts ready to be burned, if necessary. Another reason for the lack of improvement may be more systemic. The players at Pullman when Leach arrived were not recruited for, nor did they have experience with, blocking from the wide splits of the Leach spread. But I do not believe the inadequacies of the front five were the sole factor.
Another problem related to the habits that had developed at WSU (the "culture" – if you must use that term). The biggest difference I saw between the Cougar passing game and that of the teams like Oregon and Stanford was not the quality of the receivers; it was the blocking by receivers who were not targeted. The better teams had receivers who knew which defensive player to block and how to block them. They turned quick outs into 20 yard gains and 20 yard gains into touchdowns. This may have been at the heart of the Marquess Wilson controversy and, if so, all may work out for the best. I also imagine that this type of problem was not limited to the receivers; that was just where it was obvious to me. (I note Winston was the only running back last year that showed good skills in pass protection.)
Finally, I think a lot of the blame has to be placed squarely on the shoulders of the head coach. I am not sure that Leach was ready for defenses that had seen and adapted to the numerous variations of the spread that are now out there. Remember, he had been out of the game for three years and during that time the popularity of the spread has grown, but effective defensive responses to it have proliferated as well. Also, he had enjoyed an extended period of hearing nothing but accolades from press and fan alike. (I am surprised that some alumnus did not offer to anoint his feet with oil.) After that it is pretty hard to accept that you are part of the problem. So you juggle quarterbacks and call out your veterans and, maybe, make things worse.
I cannot help but believe that those factors, and the realization that he had underestimated the challenges, played a large role in his demeaning his players before the press – a combination of frustration and denial. While he appears to be a disciple of Leroy Jethro Gibbs ("Never apologize – it's a sign of weakness."), his subsequent conduct indicated he learned the error of his ways. And, if he needed something to bring him down to earth, the Marquess Wilson/abuse brouhaha was just the trick.
Of course there is the Apple Cup, which salvaged the season and gave some real hope for the future. But the victory over Washington was merely a demonstration of the development of the team last year and there were some bright spots along the way.
In light of the offensive travails, the success (albeit sporadic) of the defense, and particularly the front seven, was a welcome change. Breske installed his 3-4 scheme and had it working by the Oregon game. From there it improved, with fits and starts, as newcomers Ioane Guata, Darryl Monroe, Justin Sagote and Xavier Cooper teamed with, sack-man (9.5) Travis Long and Sophomore Kalafitoni Pole to stall some of the best of the PAC-12. Blitzes came from everywhere (with TV announcers confusing safeties and linebackers). When it worked it was really fun to watch. Oregon State was held to 100 yards rushing, Stanford 120, UCLA 73 and Washington 75. (Oregon ran for 300 yards in Seattle, but that is just about average for the Ducks and most came in the second half when gambling was taken to an extreme by the Cougar defense .) These are all teams with strong ground games.
Also, while the offense sputtered and popped, it still put up significant passing yardage – nearly 4000 yards, first in the PAC-12 and ninth in the nation. This was done during the process of installing a new offense, which was clearly a work in progress, through much of the season. (Leach did not even attempt plays from his trade mark four verticals series until well into the season.) By game 12 there were six receivers, with two or more years left who had proven they could play, and excel, at this level.
The special teams play was vastly improved over the past few years and there is every reason to believe this improvement will continue. Additionally, the prospect of an improved offensive line was enhanced by Leach being able to redshirt all of the incoming class of linemen, which was due, in large part, to those walk-on players who stepped up and served major roles by the end of the year.
The stadium "up-grade" was completed and, while it appears to be a success so far as revenues are concerned, it has done little to enhance the game day experience for the average game goer. Although they now have a better view of how the other half lives, the most significant change for hoi polloi was the moving of their parking spots to the nether reaches of campus to make room for the big spenders.
The football only building (FOB) was approved and construction has started, although it seems that it will not be complete until the spring of next year. Clearly this was needed to keep from falling miserably behind in the PAC-12 recruiting wars, however, these types of facilities just seem a bit "much" and I believe that we can once again blame Nike/Oregon for making this type of ostentatious outlay necessary.
We now have a full year of the PAC-12 network and the consequences of the new TV contract under the belt. It really is nice to have all games in living HD color, even if it is necessary to watch some of the games with the mute on – to avoid throwing shoes at the image of Cory Wise and his ilk. But there is no doubt that the impact of the total TV package on attendance is a negative – particularly for the Cougars. (Three of the five conference games at 7:30 at night, with notice of exact date and time often coming only a few days prior, and the Apple Cup on the Friday after Thanksgiving – give me a &%*@ing break.) Along with a Seattle game not being included in the season ticket package, these are real roadblocks to increasing attendance. No need to add seating in the near future if this keeps up.
And so much for the PAC-12 network being a cash cow for the members. Direct TV is still a holdout on the cable package and this deadlock represents a big embarrassment for Mr. Scott (I would have said "the only embarrassment" before the basketball officiating falderal). Until this provider is added, revenues will come nowhere near projections. The first year it was undoubtedly a net loss to most members. There will be no profits to distribute and the losses from ticket sales and no-shows were incurred. However, the start-up costs were significant, the network does come across well and I anticipate some sort of deal with Direct TV will be reached before the start of the 2012 football season.
Finally, there is a four team play-off to be instituted to determine the national college football champion. I think the NCAA has overestimated the demand for a playoff system and was influenced by the various talking heads (because it will give them more to talk about) and the SEC schools (because they don't have a Rose Bowl). As a way to determine the "best of the best", the old polls after the bowl games were as close to accurate as any system coming down the road will be. For WSU, championship games just marginalize the Rose Bowl – the realistic goal of any Cougar team.
The Crimson and Grey game in Spokane was billed as a first look at the reason for higher expectations for the coming season. However, as one commentator noted, this version of the Air Raid brought up more images of the 2012 difficulties than it did of future delights. Wayward throws, dropped balls, a near futile running game and sack after sack plagued the offense. However I don't think too much weight should be given that practice (and that is what it was – a practice) for a number of reasons. (1) It was a miserable day for a passing offense, with heavy swirling winds, and it took a while for the quarterbacks and receivers to adapt. (2) The defense always comes together faster than the offense and that side of the ball looked pretty good – even missing a raft of players that will be mainstays this fall. (3) The teams were evenly divided, with half of the "ones" on each team. This was most detrimental to offensive line, which depends more on familiarity and coordinated effort than do the other aspects of the team.
Consequently, I believe that "game" represented just a single bad practice session and did not reflect the improvements we will see come fall or the growth of this team since last November. This is a team that will make a jump next year and compete and win games in PAC-12 play.
There were two changes of assistants during the off season. The major loss was the departure of Jeff Choate (to Florida – eventually), a primary force in the development of a pretty good linebacking corps. However, he is replaced by Ken Wilson, an extremely experienced and successful coach from Nevada. The second departure was that of Eric Morris, one of the receiver coaches. Replacing him is the enigmatic and media shy David Yost, who has a resume that will match just about any in the conference. Yost should become something like an assistant offensive coordinator, as well as coaching inside receivers.
One of the most impressive aspects of the present staff is their ability to recruit and utilize walk-on players. While some coaches are reluctant put walk-ons ahead of scholarship players on the depth chart (they may feel it reflects badly on their recruiting skills), this does not seem to be the case with the Leach crew. It is very possible that there will be three walk-ons starting on the offensive line for the opening game at Auburn and there has been a steady stream of quality players arriving via the walk-on route since Leach arrived. (There is also a stream leaving, but that is to be expected, if you go after those who truly have the desire to play and see they will not – at this level.)
As for changes in philosophy and scheme, I would not expect major ones, but something needs to be done with the running game and maybe now Leach will have the time and resources to install some aspects of coach Mastro's "pistol offense". (Mastro has been quoted in the press as indicating that integration of the "pistol" was a major topic of conversation with Leach this off season.) Possibly Yost can bring some fresh thinking on ways to prod some more yardage out of the ground game. The players are now familiar enough with the Air Raid so that Leach can introduce any nuances that he has been reluctant about up till now.
On the defensive side, Breske and Leach have decided to simplify the process, reducing the number options and limiting the decision making for the players. So far this seems to have worked and met
with the approval of the athletes. I don't believe the casual fan will see those differences – it will still be the same "fly to the ball", gambling approach that has gained momentum over the course of last year – hopefully, with much improved play.
With a year of tutelage under Coach Russell the special teams players will have a much better idea of what is expected of them and I would anticipate the play will go from "improved" to "good". Even with the improved depth, I would expect the staff to continue to use regular rotation players to meet needs and provide leadership. I doubt that Choate's exit will have any detrimental effect.
The roster looks much different this year than it has recently, with quality depth at almost every position. However, determining just who is available can be somewhat of a challenge for those outside of Leach's world. Who is injured? What is the injury? Where did he go? These are questions that go unanswered so often that they cease to be asked.
Players seem to just disappear into the mist sometimes and everyone on the roster is "healthy" and "performing as expected". Guys like David Davis (who should be a RS Sophomore defensive lineman) just disappear from the roster. Others, like Henry Eaddy and Nui Sale appear to have been cut, but exit with no real explanation.
For the purposes of this report I will assume that those on the roster who did not participate this spring have suffered injuries that are not season threatening and that those recovering from prior injuries will complete recovery their by fall. Also, I will assume that Leach will continue to red-shirt as many of the incoming freshmen as possible and will exclude them from my "three deep" unless I think there is an exceptional need or exceptional talent – or maybe a little of both.
It was a minor miracle that the Cougars made it through last year playing only two QBs. The 2012 Cougars suffered 57 sacks and 366 yards lost due to those sacks. In addition, four running backs accumulated a total of only 642 yards for the entire season (after losses to sacks are factored in the average per carry was 1.4 yards). While the blame is generally placed on the line there is plenty of it to go around. Quarterbacks passed up the safer short options that the Air Raid provides and held the ball to long, looking for more yardage. Halliday completed only 52% of his passes and Leach is looking for 70% (Tuel was better, at nearly 64%, but still not up to need). Among the backs, only Carl Winston was average or better at picking up the oncoming rushers and provided the only real threat for banging through the line of scrimmage.
This fall Winston will have graduated and Tuel will be in Buffalo. Also moving on are back-up quarterbacks David Gilbertson and Cody Clements, who saw the writing on the wall with the rise of Austin Apodaca. In addition walk-on QB Connor Johnson was moved to wide receiver, leaving only three players available at the position this spring.
After all the above you may be asking, "where is the rosy optimism we look for in the Cougar Scouting Report?" Well….it is partly in the fact that even with all the problems last year the Cougars still put up some very impressive passing yardage against some very good defenses. Partly it is in the fact that the Cougars now have two QBs with a full year in the Leach system and that one of them has the strongest arm since Ryan Leaf. Partly it is in the return of three experienced running backs, with real potential on the way this fall. Maybe it is in the arrival of Coach Yost, who is something of a quarterback guru and could lend a hand with the QBs. But mostly it is in a vision of a greatly improved front five, now schooled in the techniques of the wide split formations of the Air Raid attack.

The first thing Halliday must do is improve on his posing for team photographs. The second is to improve his command of the Leach spread. That he has Leach's respect for his skills is evident from the coach's use of him last year after Tuel had recovered from his injuries. He has a tendency to rely too much on his strong arm and ignore the open receivers under the coverage but he showed good improvement in that area this spring and further practice in the system should be all he needs. Apodaca got nothing but praise for his development this spring and should be more than adequate if Halliday goes down again. In the end his accuracy and mobility could win the starting position, but I doubt it. I had Jesse Brown, a walk-on who got a lot of reps this spring, at three but he was cut and Bruggman is the most likely in any case. This highly touted recruit may not have Halliday's arm strength but will eventually be both more mobile and more accurate and can go deep enough to meet the needs of the Air Raid.
Running Back
Teondray Caldwell, 5-9, 197, Sophomore
Marcus Mason, 5-9, 187, Junior
Leon Brooks, 5-7, 172, Senior (RS)
This is the position I am least sure of on the entire team. It is possible that none of these three show up on the three deep chart for game one this fall. Caldwell is has the best credentials of the returnees. He was a sometime starter as a true freshman and had a respectable 4.8 yard per carry average. Hopefully, a year in the system and a couple more pounds of muscle will give him the little extras that are needed. Mason was the outside speedster and while he appeared in 11 games he only carried the ball 12 times and was more prolific as a receiver. Leon Brooks actually had pretty good stats last year, when he did get the ball, but he too only had 12 carries. He averaged 6.5 yards on those twelve and had a long of 40 yards. He also averaged 10.6 yards on punt returns. Soooo.., give him a hole and he will do some damage – just a little small for heavy use.
This is where the running back position gets interesting. There are a whole bunch of options and the one dimension not lacking at the position is depth. If Jenkins had actually transferred from Arizona, he would have been in my three deep and a candidate to become a fulltime starter, but there are other returnees. Theron West, 5-7, 172 (Junior RS), a JC transfer that sat out last year and may be the fastest of the bunch. Jeremiah Laufasa, 5-10, 213 (Sophomore RS) was the top rusher in the Crimson and Grey game and brings some punch up the middle (think Dan Doornick, not Jerome Harrison), as does Kyle Lappano, 5-11, 196 (Sophomore RS). It is more than possible that Laufasa will see as much playing time as any of the others, given his blocking skills and ability to move the pile a little.
One of the commits this fall was Olito Thompson, 5-10, 210, who put up ridiculous numbers in high school. But he is one of those "whose name is not spoken" – it is assumed he did not meet academic requirements and will grey-shirt, but that does not completely rule out his getting his act together before this fall. The second option among the freshmen is Gerard Wicks, 5-10, 195 who has a power running style to go with his speed. Either of these two could easily see playing time this year. The third freshman RB is Jamal Morrow, 5-8, 180 but he seems to be a clone of returning players and my guess is that he is destined for the defensive backfield. Assuming no Thompson, I still see good chance the three deep will include Wicks as the season plays out.
I assume that Leach will wish to red-shirt both his incoming scholarship QBs. But, should both Halliday and Apodaca go down, Bruggman seems to be the best bet for team success and Leach has said he will compete this fall. However, I look for him to red-shirt unless he is truly needed and one of the options below to be used for mop up. My best guess is that Isaac Dotson, 6-3, 210 will be of the most value as a scout team QB, prepping the defense for the likes of Oregon, Arizona and Washington. In the end, he will likely make his name as a safety or outside linebacker.
In addition there will be a bunch of walk-ons with QB experience this fall. Luke Falk, 6-4, 218, comes from Logan Utah and was committed to Cornell. He looks the part of a pro-style QB and could surprise everyone sometime down the road. Instate product Austin Rapp, 6-2, 220, played QB at Sehome, but his value will likely be as a safety or linebacker. I also hear a preferred walk-on from the DC area is arriving in June (Connor Ennis, 6-1, 170), along with Dominic Rockey, 6-2, 185, from Auburn (Washington, not Alabama).
Now it gets exciting. There is just so much talent in this group it is virtually impossible to predict who will fill the starting spots this August at Auburn (Alabama). Also, I will make no bones about my inability to figure out what criteria the staff uses to determine which players will man the respective spots (X,Y,H & Z) in lineup. [Last year Rickey Galvin and Andrei Lintz were listed as slot receivers – admittedly one was left (H) and one was right (Y) – but you can't imagine more different body types and skill sets.] So…., for the most part I will assign positions based on the designations in the Spring game and where players lined up last year, but with the intent of having the top eight somewhere in the two deep.
No matter who takes the field they will be a nightmare for opposing defenses. There is speed, size and good hands all around, with consummate route runners sprinkled in. If there was a lack this spring it was the absence of the really big outside guy who can pick passes over the heads of normal sized safeties and corners. Mansel Simmons filled that role coming into spring, but the injuries he sustained
in a campus fight with the Vandal players ended his football career. That deficiency may be remedied by an incoming JC transfer and the conversion of a former walk-on QB into the receiver ranks.
There are a couple of areas where work is need by the receiving corps as a whole. One is dropped passes. While I indicated that "good hands" was a universal attribute, and that is true, it appears that the excitement of the moment sometimes overwhelmed and passes were fumbled that should have been caught – often in situations where the receiver was open and the pass was right on target. The problem raised its head again in the spring game, however, it seems to me this is more a result of loss of focus due to inexperience than lack of ability. The second problem is downfield blocking. There is no reason players with the Cougars size and agility shouldn't't excel in this endeavor – but they don't, and it needs to be an area of emphasis this year.
As a unit the Cougar receivers were ranked 4th in the PAC-12 this spring, by Bleacher Report, behind the likes of Oregon, Washington and USC. I have no problem with that if you are talking about a starting three, but I don't think there is a team in the conference which can match the quality depth of WSU. The Air Raid needs eight and will have at least ten very good ones come fall. No other team in the conference can match that.
X—Split Left
Dominique Williams, 6-2, 192, Sophomore (RS)
Kristoff Williams, 6-2, 216, Junior (RS)
Vince Mayle, 6-3, 220, Junior
Dominique Williams really came on after Wilson left the team. It was him making those catches down the sideline that had been the trademark of Marquess. He ended up getting 546 yards, with an average of 16.1 per catch and a long of 61 yards. And that was sitting behind Marquess Wilson for most of the season. Fans have been waiting for Kristoff Williams live up to his potential and it looked like he may have "got it" this spring – but the same was said last spring. If he keeps on playing the way he did towards the end of last year and this spring, it will be impossible to keep him off the field. Big things are expected of Mayle, who brings tight end size and good athleticism to the position. In JC he used that body to good advantage and both out muscled and out leaped defenders – can't wait to see what he does on those end zone corner routes. If all three of these players meet expectations moves will need to be made to get them on the field in other receiver positions.
H – Slot Left
Brett Bartolone, 5-10, 187, Sophomore
Rickey Galvin, 5-8, 174, Junior (RS)
Robert Lewis, 5-9, 152, Freshman
Bartolone came in as a true freshman and assumed the starting spot after Galvin went down to injury again. He impressed Leach with his work ethic and mastery of the less flashy aspects of the position. He ended the season as the leading target, with 53 catches. He seemed to disappear at times but I would expect those lapses to be eliminated his sophomore year. Galvin is something of a different type – not as steady and complete as Bartolone, but more explosive. Expect to see him running sweeps and breaking away up the middle after a catch. Lewis enrolled this January after committing as part of the 2012 class and spent the spring catching up with the other receivers. He ended the camp with four catches in spring game. He is both quick and fast and will bring the same type of explosiveness as Galvin, if he isn't red-shirted.
Z – Split Right
Gabe Marks, 6-0, 176, Sophomore
Isiah, Myers, 6-0, 184, Junior
Tyler Baker, 5-10, 191, Sophomore (RS)
Possibly the most interesting tidbit to some concerning Marks is that he was named to the Jewish Sports Review's All-American team last year. However, I am more interested in the fact that he played every game last year, as a true freshman (starting 8), was second in yardage (560) and averaged 11.6 per catch. He faded a bit towards the end of the season but that can be expected of a freshman and it should not occur again. Myers is not flashy but seems to be there when needed and makes a lot of those third and six catches that save a drive. He had 49 grabs last year and averaged 10.4 per catch. He just keeps getting better. Baker is kind of the unknown at this position (assuming this is where he plays) and is a Texan who transferred after a year at Ole Miss. I really have not seen enough of him to tell where he will fit in, but I assume a Texan with a scholarship to Ole Miss has to have talent.
Y – Slot Right
Bobby Ratliff, 6-2, 192, Junior (RS)
River Carcraft, 6-2, 205, Freshman
Conner Johnson, 6-5, 230, Freshman (RS)
Ratliff has been steady his throughout his first two years but started to turn it on in the last few games of 2012. He had a 100 yard game against UCLA and pulled in six in the Arizona State game. He kept the momentum going this spring and looks to have solid hold on a starting spot come fall. His real competition will come from those listed above as X receivers. Carcraft is the only incoming freshman I have put in the three deep. That is because he fits the Leach dream sheet so closely. He does all the little things well and is particularly good at shielding out defenders. He brings height and weight as well as an understanding of the game. I expect him to fit in right away. Conner Johnson is the one eyed jack in the deck. He is a walk-on that was moved from QB and just started to get his feet wet at the position this spring. However, he is 6-5 and big enough to push people around, making him an interesting target if he can pick up a few of the nuances of the position.
The above players are just about all that have any chance of seeing the playing field next year and injuries will mean shuffling players around from various positions rather than moving a player off the scout team. The only two left on the spring roster are Adam West, 5-11, 160, a walk-on transfer from Carroll College (a NIAI power) and Kyle Adkins, 6-1, 197 a walk-on red-shirt freshman from Woodinville. This is not a real depth concern, since none in the three deep are seniors and it is chocked full of freshmen and sophomores. It does leave a question about who is going to man the receiver positions on the scout team.
So there you have it, the first part of OldSavage's 2013 preview. We'll have more the rest of this week. Enjoy your Monday, RISE & GRIND AND GO COUGS!

Trade, Marcus Smart, Boston Celtics: 3 more rumors
Marcus Smart available?
September 30, 2016 | 8:56 pm EDT Update
So after three years of Ballmer's ownership, it might just be long enough to draw some conclusions. Most importantly, according to Clippers insiders, is his commitment to keeping both Griffin and Paul long term no matter what it costs.
Green had no tell-tale symptoms. The Celtics' brass had anxiously called him into a meeting with doctors after receiving the results. He was entering his fifth NBA season and feeling indestructible like most 26-year-olds. He remembers being unable to say a word for about an hour and a half after being delivered the stunning news. What ran through his mind? "Tomorrow," he said. "Tomorrow. "Your first thought is: Am I going to live? Basketball was an afterthought. Would I see another day?"
"It makes you appreciate life, everything, a little more," he said after the Magic's practice on Friday. "Sometimes you can get into a phase where you takes things for granted, especially each day. When you go through something life-threatening, something that could change something you love, it makes you appreciate it much more. "I'm blessed to see another day. For something like that, with any strenuous activity, the tissue could rupture. Could have died, quite frankly. I'm grateful to the doctors in Boston that detected the aneurysm."

Anderson v Magee (spoiler)
Kevin Anderson from Fife in Scotland took a comfortable points victory from the tough durable Eammon Magee from Belfast in a decent fight in Motherwell last night.
Anderson caught him with a peach during the 11th round to floor the former champion and make sure the result was never in question.
Magee (35) is the only man ever to have floored Ricky Hatton in their bout a few years back which Hatton eventually took on points.

Craig: He's called Alfie.
Baby Alfie: [gurgles in Baby Language]
The Doctor: Yes, he likes that, "Alfie". Though personally, he prefers to be called "Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All".Often in fiction, babies who can't talk yet are treated as having their own esoteric language, similar to Animal Talk. Adults can't hope to understand this language without magic or phlebotinum, yet it's usually understood by all babies regardless of national origin. Usually this will be the center of the plot for that particular story, although it may occasionally be used as a throwaway joke. Whether the babies have an intelligence to match their language varies greatly. In some works it may just be a cute-sy version of Hulk Speak. In others the babies may in fact be geniuses, and unable to share their brilliance with the world — what a shame they forget it as soon as they begin to actually communicate. In others the children seem to be relatively intelligent, but with poor decision skills and naivety, making them less capable. This last one is usually the most successful, but any of these forms can result in awkwardness if not handled well. Creepily, this might have an element of Truth in Television. Studies show that babies actually understand far more words than theyre actually able to speak because theyre so uncoordinated. It's called passive vocabulary. So for the first few years of life, it's very similar to communicating with the more intelligent pet animals.
— Doctor Who, "Closing Time"
- One Baby Blues strip revealed that Hammie (at the time a toddler) could perfectly understand his younger sister Wren's baby talk, as well as speaking English. Zoe (a kindergartner) observed that she must have grown up too much as she couldn't make any sense of baby talk anymore.
- This was the premise behind Sheldon Mayer's classic comic series called Sugar and Spike, that all babies, no matter what species, spoke a universal "baby language".
- Sugar and Spike appeared in one issue of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold spin-off comic (which appears determined to not only have dafter plots than the series, but even more obscure guest stars). Batman gets turned into a baby, and can instantly understand them.
- Great things by Rose Of Pollux involves a little bit of this on the part of one of the Doctor's companions, whom he goes back to visit as an infant.
- Baby Geniuses
- Look Who's Talking had some of this.
- In P.L. Travers' original Mary Poppins stories, babies could talk to each other, and also to animals and inanimate objects.
- In A Series of Unfortunate Events, toddler Sunny spoke in subtitled gibberish. Her speech was translated in the books.
- Apparently, in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Manny knows several toddler slang terms. The only one we hear is "Ploopy," which Manny apparently considers quite offensive.
- Doctor Who: "A Good Man Goes To War" reveals that the Doctor can apparently speak baby. His companion doesn't buy it, and he calmly retorts "I speak everything". With the translation circuits, this may actually be true.
- Back once again in the episode "Closing Time", where the Doctor spends much of the episode translating a baby for his father, Craig. Incidentally, the baby calls Craig and the Doctor 'Not Mum', everyone else Peasants and himself "Stormageddon, Dark Lord Of All."
- At the end of the episode that all changes. (Also, despite the Doctor's efforts to seem like he never appeared, Alfie's first actual spoken English word is Doctor.)
- Returns again in "The Girl Who Died", when the Twelfth Doctor translates a Viking baby's worries. Unlike the previous occasions, it's played for drama, not laughs.
- Back once again in the episode "Closing Time", where the Doctor spends much of the episode translating a baby for his father, Craig. Incidentally, the baby calls Craig and the Doctor 'Not Mum', everyone else Peasants and himself "Stormageddon, Dark Lord Of All."
- In Motherly Scootaloo, a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Tumblr comic, apparently Lightning Blitz fits this, as the Ask Discord Hooves crossover shows (this makes sense, since it's the Doctor in pony form he's talking to).
- This is one of the hallmarks of Kurami; the titular infant's "speech" consists solely of "gek gek" and variations thereof.
- Rugrats is an interesting case in that three-year-olds like Angelica and Suzie can talk with the baby characters as well as with the adults.
- Kate from Arthur did this. However, she could talk to Pal, the dog, implying that her Baby Language was on the same level as Animal Talk.
- Stewie on Family Guy may be an example, depending on how the writers feel that day. Stewie can speak perfectly, yet the family and most other adults are presumed to not being able to understand him (only Brian and most side characters can understand him). It gets lampshaded at one point where an angry Meg demands to know who was talking about her and everyone immediately blames Stewie, causing him to say "Oh, so now everyone understands me?" Word of God also says that everyone can understand Stewie, but choose to ignore him most of the time.
- As mentioned above, babies do acquire a huge amount of passive vocabulary. Some psychologists recommend teaching babies to use sign language beginning at about nine months.
- It's also been proven that babies worldwide make roughly the same sounds until around six months, when they begin to copy the sounds of the language(s) used around them.

Will the U.S. Supreme Court Reverse California Redistricting?
In 2010, California voters approved a new way of redrawing congressional districts as a way to combat partisan gerrymandering. The state took the power away from the Legislature and put it in the hands of a nonpartisan citizen commission. But California's system could be threatened by a case now pending at the U.S. Supreme Court. On Monday, the court heard arguments in a challenge to Arizona's Independent Redistricting Commission, where Arizona legislative leaders argued that the U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures exclusive control of congressional elections.

Robert Reich: The Fed's decision Tuesday to keep short-term interest rates near zero is no surprise. What's odd is its apparent decision not to boost the economy by buying hundreds of billions of bonds — despite its acknowledgment that "the pace of recovery in output and employment has slowed in recent months," and that prices are rising too slowly for comfort (i.e., we might be facing deflation).
Why There's An Enthusiasm Gap: An Illustration
Robert Reich: Super-rich financiers on Wall Street and top corporate executives have grown richer, though most Americans are getting poorer.
We're in a One-and-a-Half Dip Recession
Robert Reich: The President should stop talking and acting on anything else – not the deficit, not energy, not the environment, not immigration, not implementing the health care law, not education. He should make the whole upcoming mid-term election a national referendum on putting Americans back to work, and his jobs bill. Are you for it or against it?
Why We Are Moving Toward a Recessionary Era
Robert Reich: The biggest ongoing threats are chronic recession or even deflation, because consumers don't have enough money to what the economy is capable of selling at full or near-full employment. Despite gains in productivity, little has trickled down to America's middle class.
A Double-Dip Recession Coming?
Robert Reich: The only reason the economy isn't in a double-dip recession already is because of three temporary boosts: the federal stimulus (of which 75 percent has been spent), near-zero interest rates (which can't continue much longer without igniting speculative bubbles), and replacements (consumers have had to replace worn-out cars and appliances, and businesses had to replace worn-down inventories). Oh, and, yes, all those Census workers (who will be out on their ears in a month or so).
Economy Recovery Depends Upon Your Vantage Point
Carl Bloice: Like the knee bone and the thigh bone, the foreclosure crisis is closely related to the jobs crisis. Last week the Obama administration cautioned the public not to expect any dramatic improvement in the jobless rate, largely because thousands of formerly "discouraged" jobless workers sense the situation is improving and have started back looking for work. As a result, some economists have suggested, the jobless rate may well go beyond the 9.7 percent where it stands now.
More Pain & Suffering – A Bad Way to Start the New Year
Carl Bloice: Just as rising unemployment and economic insecurity means less retail spending and fewer trips to the malls and showrooms, it also means a fall in available jobs. Rising joblessness means the already catastrophe situation in the housing market gets even worse.

The lodge offers secluded bungalows and are decorated with native art furnishings. Each bungalow features two rooms, queen-size beds, decks with hammocks and private bathrooms.

Tikal is among the world's travel wonders and many are calling it one of the most spiritually powerful spots on earth. The monumental site with its towering pyramids looms out of the thick jungle canopy like stoic sentinels of ancient mysteries.
Tikal was once a wealthy metropolis of 100,000 inhabitants and the seat of power for the great Jaguar clan lords. Today, Tikal attracts archeologists from all around the globe and the wild-live surrounding the ruins makes it a naturalist's dream. Because of its importance and magnificent combination of nature and archaeological remains, Tikal has been declared a Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The ruins of Tikal include more than 3,000 structures extending over six square miles and including palaces, temples, ceremonial platforms, ball courts, terraces, plazas, avenues and steam baths. The ancient Maya began building Tikal around 600 B.C., and for the next 1500 years the area was an important religious, scientific, and political center.
The Tikal National Park is not only home to an ancient Mayan City. The area surrounding the park is a ancient jungle which provides habitat for a wide range of animals, including monkeys, white lipped peccary, brocket deer, coati-mundi, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, ocelots; even the seldom jaguar can occasionally be spotted. Along with many vegetation spices there is also an abundance of tropical flowers and all include nature's soundtrack to travelers of the area in form of screeching howler monkey calls and squawking parrots.
The charming town of Flores, with its pastel-colored buildings, enjoys a scenic setting on Lake Peten Itza. It is located about half an hour from the entrance of the National Park and serves as a gateway to explore the immediate area.

Gulfstream Park: Little Mike has easy work
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Breeders' Cup Turf winner Little Mike had his first grass work of the winter on Sunday, going a very easy five furlongs in 1:01.31 over the firm Gulfstream Park turf course.
"I wanted to let him run a little bit for the first time since he's come back, so I put him on the grass, and I was real pleased with him," said trainer Dale Romans. "He's started looking like his old self, and it's time to try squeezing the lemon a little bit with him, although all his works will not be on the turf."
Little Mike is scheduled to make his 2013 debut in Dubai on March 9 as a prep for a race on World Cup day three weeks later. Jockey Ramon Dominguez, who guided Little Mike to victory in the Breeders' Cup, is sidelined by injury, and Romans said John Velazquez has taken the call for his next start.
"The early race over there, I think Johnny is going to ride him. Then it depends where we go for the next one," said Romans. "If we go in the World Cup, John's committed to ride him. If we go on the turf, he's committed elsewhere and we'd have to figure out what we're going to do there."
Romans also said Dullahan is training here on a daily basis and is about ready to have his first breeze of the winter.
"We're a little behind the eight ball with him at the moment, but we'll get him there," said Romans.
Dullahan is also scheduled to have a race in Dubai on March 9 as a prep for the $10 million World Cup on March 30.
If Dale Romans says he will have a horse ready, that animal will be ready!
Should let Joe Bravo ride Little Mike

Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Stagecoach Line
100 Mile, 55K and Relays
Presented by Babbitt Ranches
September 24-25, 2016; 8 AM
It's a long, rough and dusty drive to the Boundary aid station. Simply ask any of the crewmembers or volunteers that traveled the 25 miles of dirt road to get here to assist runners. However, as long as it may be the ride is worth it. This oasis sits at the 55-mile point of the Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Stagecoach Line 100 Mile's course on the Kaibab National Forest's southern boundary with Babbitt Ranch smack dab between Arizona's highest peak, Mt Humphrey's, and the Grand Canyon National Park. Located in the middle of a long, wide, rabbit brush covered swale one can truly say that they've now visited the wild, wild west. Runners share the trail with cattle, horse, deer and antelope and can hear the distant bugling of elk. By the time they reach this point the sun has set, but the moon has taken over making even colors visible without the use of headlamps. After running across the wide-open spaces of Babbitt Ranch it is here at Boundary that competitors return to the trees and the single-track Arizona Trail for the remainder of their 100-mile journey.
After having canceled the 100-mile event in 2014 due to horrendous weather, the 2015 Stagecoach revived and went off brilliantly. We decided to keep last year's shortened 55K race in the event's repertoire. 100-mile and 55K runners started together and ran simultaneously over a 9000' shoulder of Mt. Humphrey at Aspen Corner, visited the Hart Prairie Preserve famous for its Bebb willow trees, wildlife and views of the San Francisco Peaks and through the golden aspen stands and ponderosa forests of the Coconino National Forest before descending to Cedar Ranch at 6400'. 55K runners ended their race at Cedar but the 100-mile runners continued on through ranch land and on to Boundary. From here historic locations like Moqui Stage Station and Hull Cabin and seasonal watering holes like Russell and Watson Tanks doubled as refueling points not only for the tourist-carrying stagecoaches at the turn of the 20th century but also served as aid locations for today's 100-mile contestants.
Jim Walmsley, two weeks after his 7:05 performance at the IAU 100K World Championships in the
Netherlands, set a new course record in the 55K in 4:04:33. Kelsey Gray shaved 30 minutes off
her 2014 time to win the women's 55K race in 5:51:22. Utah's Mark Hammond showed up at
Stagecoach to test his body after his 21-hour effort at the Wasatch Front 100 Mile three weeks
earlier. Uncontested, Hammond raced to the win in 17:37:25, 4 minutes faster than Michael
Versteeg's 2013 winning time. Perhaps the story of the day was Michelle Hawk's, from Tucson,
AZ, performance. She rolled to the win, placing second overall, in 19:08, almost two hours
faster than Suzanna Bon's 2013 winning time. We congratulate all 17 100-mile and 33 55K
finishers and the 10 relay teams that finished this challenging course. Make plans to be at
Stagecoach's 2016 edition set for September 24th & 25th.

Despite what a previous entry wrote concerning alcohol, a "double duce" is, in my predominantly black neighborhood, 22 ounces of liquor, (rather than 40). A "40" is a "40" no matter what, and the "double duce" is nearly half that amount.

So satisfied I've bought half a dozen.
I got one of these when the iPad 3 launched, Targus had an issue with the magnets and sent me a new one for free. That case eventually started to wear out so I got another, when I got my wife an iPad I got her the white then the red versions, when a friend got an iPad she got the blue one as a gift. I've tried other cases and it is just hard to find anything else that has exactly what I'm looking for at a good price. The plastic snap-on back covers all of the corners without muffling the speaker of blocking any buttons, the back folds flat, at a slight angle that is great for viewing and typing while siting at a desk, or it holds the iPad up tall for watching video. It isn't very stable while tall and if you use this a lot (like I do) it starts to fall apart after a few months; the rubber that covers the plastic edge is the first thing to go and if your wife drops your iPad 3+ feet onto asphalt the plastic can crack... but my iPad survived!

Poster move to track down missing Daisy dog
07:00 20 January 2014
The owner of missing Labradoodle, Daisy, hopes new posters will help bring her much-loved pet home.
New leaflets raising awareness of a missing dog have this week been put up around Budleigh Salterton.
Black labradoodle Daisy went missing in mid-November while on a walk at Otter ledge with her owner, Ali Colledge, from East Budleigh.
Ali hopes the new posters will help the community in its search for her missing pet.
Family friend Jennie Marshall said: "The leaflet drop in targeted areas has already been bearing fruit in that we have received a couple of calls from people notifying us of places where they are sure Daisy isn't. It all helps us to determine where we need to continue our focus, so we are very grateful for every single call and the time people are giving to guide us."
In recent weeks Daisy's owner has sought the advice of dog experts and also psychic help in the quest to find her missing pet. The new poster gives a full description of missing Daisy, shows photographs of the curly-coated labradoodle and gives full details of what to do if the missing dog is spotted, or found. Owner Ali said sightings of Daisy dried up three weeks ago and she believes someone could have taken the dog in.
Jennie said: "We won't give up until we find Daisy and will try every new idea that comes our way to keep her profile as high as we can. Please keep checking sheds, outbuildings and any other areas you feel it possible a wandering dog may be sheltering in.
If you spot a dog that looks like Daisy, call Ali on 07984 428074 or 01395 443274, or Jennie on 01395 442445 or 07970 444163. The council dog warden is on 01395 571517.

$500,000 challenge grant to address sinking at the Rep
The Windhover Foundation — founded by the late Harry and Betty Quadracci and run today by their children — announced Saturday it has issued a $500,000 challenge grant as part of Milwaukee Repertory Theater's drive to repair its sinking, 115-year-old building.
In February, the Rep made public its problem with the building at 108 E.

Skylight's 'I Hear America Singing' tells off-key story
In his robustly joyous poem "I Hear America Singing," Walt Whitman imagines everyday Americans "singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs," embodying an America as expansive and inclusive as the continent itself.
In Milwaukee-born Daron Hagen's virtuosic but also claustrophobic piece of the same name, Hagen (who also handles stage direction) risks reducing America to the lowest common denominator, in which difference is squashed so that harmony can prevail. Written for Skylight Music Theatre, it was unveiled in Skylight's Studio Theatre space Friday night. »Read Full Article

Florentine's 'La Bohème' brings down the house
If all 19th-century opera composers had understood the alchemy of creating a timeless work people would flock to hear more than a century after its creation, operas like Puccini's "La Bohème" wouldn't be the least bit special.
But they didn't. "La Bohème" is one of a rather short list of operas that fill concert halls and, if done well, leave audiences standing and cheering. »Read Full Article
