Austin Seferian-Jenkins next great Huskies TE?
2+
Washington's coaches might tell you the answer Austin Seferian-Jenkins gave about potentially becoming one of the great tight ends in Washington history is exactly why he will become one.

By Bob Condotta
5+
Seattle Times staff reporter
6+
7+
Washington's coaches might tell you the answer Austin Seferian-Jenkins gave about potentially becoming one of the great tight ends in Washington history is exactly why he will become one.
8+
9+
"It's only been four games, that's what I'd tell those people," Seferian-Jenkins said of those who want to anoint him as the one to rekindle the UW tight-end flame. "I've just got to focus on the next game, and that's Utah. All that with the great tight ends that came through here, let's just hold off on that and get through one game at a time, y'know?"
10+
11+
Through four games, though, there's little to indicate Seferian-Jenkins won't live up to all the hype that greeted his commitment to UW in Aug. 2010, when Husky fans immediately began envisioning him as the one to again turn Washington into Tight End U.
12+
13+
The school was so proclaimed by Sports Illustrated in the late 1990s after producing a steady string of noteworthy tight ends, many going on to long NFL careers, such as Mark Bruener, Ernie Conwell, Aaron Pierce, Cam Cleeland, Jerramy Stevens, Eric Bjornson and Dave Williams.
14+
15+
But like a lot of aspects of the UW program, the tight-end spot has lagged the last decade, and might have reached its nadir last season when, for a variety of reasons, the Huskies were essentially without a tight end for the final few games.
16+
17+
"Last year, we tried to manufacture the position in so many different ways," said offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier.
18+
19+
No more. UW now has three prototype tight ends in Seferian-Jenkins and redshirt freshmen Michael Hartvigson and Evan Hudson.
20+
21+
Seferian-Jenkins has made the biggest impact so far, at least from a receiving end, with nine catches for 170 yards and three touchdowns, giving the Huskies a presence in the middle of the field lacking last season. Washington's tight ends combined for six catches for 47 yards and one touchdown in 2010.
22+
23+
"It's great," said Sarkisian. "It opens up a whole new world for us, and there is still plenty more out there for us to do."
24+
25+
Indeed, while fans may want to marvel at what the 6-foot-6, 258-pound Seferian-Jenkins has already done — the two long catches that ignited the offensive explosion against Hawaii, the two TDs last week against Cal — coaches and Seferian-Jenkins talk mostly of the need to improve.
26+
27+
Seferian-Jenkins ended his last reception of the Cal game with a fumble, a day when Sarkisian said he carried the ball a little loose all game. So that has been an emphasis for this week.
28+
29+
"Just keeping the ball high and tight," he said. "I didn't do that last week, and that was the cause of the fumble."
30+
31+
There's also the constant work on his blocking, something he wasn't called on to do much at Gig Harbor High School.
32+
33+
"I'm not really happy with my blocking right now," he said.
34+
35+
Sarkisian says Seferian-Jenkins' biggest challenge blocking may be mental.
36+
37+
"Believing in himself," Sarkisian said. "I think guys, especially at tight end, when they hesitate they can get beat and all of a sudden they are pass-protecting against a defensive end or they are blocking down on a defensive end, and if you hesitate against those guys they are big, strong and fast in our conference and they can beat you."
38+
39+
What he can add to the offense, however, has been evident from the day he arrived in the March, graduating early so he could enroll in time for spring practice.
40+
41+
"Any time you have a guy with that kind of size and speed and hands — he has done some really good things," Nussmeier said.
42+
43+
"It really forces the linebackers to be very disciplined, especially when the quarterback starts moving around a little bit."
44+
45+
And keeping the defense honest is making Seferian-Jenkins' impact just that much greater.
46+
47+
Notes
48+
49+
• Sarkisian said RB Johri Fogerson will miss the rest of the season with a leg injury suffered in the first quarter Saturday against Cal. He will have surgery Friday and be out up to eight months. Sarkisian said the team will apply for a medical redshirt year so he can return for a fifth season of eligibility in 2012.
50+
51+
RB Jesse Callier also remains limited in practice with a hamstring injury, though Sarkisian said the hope is he can play Saturday. With Fogerson out and Callier limited, Bishop Sankey took most of the snaps as the backup to Chris Polk in practice.
52+
53+
• Sarkisian said six walk-ons have been awarded scholarships — snapper Brendan Lopez, FB Jonathan Amosa, receiver/holder William Chandler, punter Kiel Rasp, RB Cole Sager and Hudson. School began Wednesday.

NEW YORK — It was widely known that Amazon.com was working on a color, touch-screen version of its popular Kindle, the gadget that established the market for e-readers.
2+
3+
But founder Jeff Bezos still surprised the world Wednesday by unveiling the Kindle Fire, a polished and potent 7-inch device with a $199 price that will disrupt the surging market for Web tablets and erode the dominance of Apple's iPad..
4+
5+
The Kindle Fire goes on sale Nov. 15, alongside a batch of redesigned black-and-white Kindles also debuting in time for the holidays. They include an entry-level model that starts at $79, a new Kindle Touch at $99 and a Kindle Touch with 3G wireless service at $149.
6+
7+
Electronics stores are littered with iPad challengers — many running the same Google Android software that's inside the Fire — but Amazon is entering the fray with a strong brand, the Kindle's reputation for quality and an array of online media content and services.
8+
9+
Amazon also has given the Fire an innovative new "split" browser called Amazon Silk, which runs partly on the device and partly on the EC2 cloud-computing network that Amazon operates.
10+
11+
Amazon is indexing commonly used images and files from websites and storing them on the cloud network, so they load faster on the browser and improve its performance. The system also anticipates the next page users are likely to view so it loads faster on the device.
12+
13+
Perhaps most important, Amazon is competing with a low-end price on high-end hardware. Bezos made this point over and over during the brief, Apple-esque launch event Wednesday in New York.
14+
15+
He began by displaying quotes by skeptics of the original Kindle, which Amazon launched four years ago.
16+
17+
"What we're doing is making premium products and offering them at non-premium prices," he said, repeatedly.
18+
19+
Apple is expected to hold its dominating lead in the market for Web tablets for the next few years but face growing competition from Amazon, other makers of Android tablets and systems running Microsoft's Windows 8, expected to debut in 2012.
20+
21+
Research firm Gartner this month predicted that 63.6 million tablets will be sold this year, up 261 percent over last year. Annual sales are expected to reach 326.3 million units in 2015.
22+
23+
The Kindle Fire runs applications built for Google's Android platform, which is inside the device, under a special interface resembling a bookshelf that displays recently viewed items.
24+
25+
Files can be loaded to the device via a USB cable, and there's a dual-core processor and 8 gigabytes of internal storage.
26+
27+
Yet this isn't a new PC and doesn't pretend to be one.
28+
29+
Amazon designed the Kindle Fire mostly for consuming — and buying — movies, TV shows, music, books and other media stored in and streamed from Amazon's network. In other words, it's a console plugged into the company's servers, where the heavy lifting is done.
30+
31+
Bezos described the Kindle Fire as a service, with the hardware representing just one element of a user's experience with the device, an experience that revolves around the company's online properties.
32+
33+
"We have Amazon Web Services, Amazon Prime, Kindle, Amazon Instant Video, our MP3 store and the app store for Android," Bezos said. "We asked ourselves, is there some way that we can bring all of these things together into a remarkable product offering that customers would love? The answer is yes — it's called Kindle Fire."
34+
35+
Bezos didn't mention the iPad directly, but mocked its synchronization system, by displaying an iPad's USB cable on screen while talking about how Kindles sync wirelessly and automatically.
36+
37+
He also said Amazon is hoping consumers find the Kindle Fire and services are "a compelling reason to shop from Amazon instead of iTunes."
38+
39+
Questioned afterward, Amazon executives sidestepped questions about competing with the iPad, but noted that the Kindle Fire costs less than half as much as Apple's device, which starts at $499.
40+
41+
Amazon Vice President Dave Limp said consumers may buy multiple Kindles — perhaps a Kindle Touch and a Kindle Fire — for less than the $500 price range of popular tablets.
42+
43+
"I think that people that want to have a media experience, they want to have all their content front and center, they want a world-class Web-browsing experience — they're going to come and flock to Kindle Fire," he said. "It's $199 and, as you see, it hides the complexity of these devices."
44+
45+
Limp and Bezos both said they expect the $79 Kindle to be a huge seller during the holiday season. At that price, it comes with advertising — offers displayed on the home screen when the device is idle. A version without ads costs $109.
46+
47+
Similarly, the Kindle Touch without ads will cost $139 and the Kindle Touch 3G without ads will cost $189.
48+
49+
The $79 model is now on sale, and the Kindle Touch goes on sale Nov. 21.
50+
51+
Amazon isn't yet selling a version of the Kindle Fire with the advertising and lower price.
52+
53+
Executives wouldn't discuss plans beyond the launch for the Kindle Fire line, but it seems likely the company will add different models, including some with larger screens, similar to the way it expanded the Kindle line.
54+
55+
In the meantime, the Amazon Silk browser is what's wowing some observers.
56+
57+
Al Hilwa, program director at IDC research firm, said it may ease bandwidth challenges of mobile devices by letting Amazon servers handle some browsing.
58+
59+
"In one fell swoop, Amazon harnesses its commanding lead in cloud services, the content richness of a leading online retailer and its successful Kindle business strategy to deliver what might become one of [the] most effective antidotes to the mobile bandwidth crunch," he said in a note sent after the launch.
60+
61+
Given the big investment Amazon is making in the browser technology, it seems likely it will be extended to other devices, similar to the way the Kindle reading software was extended from Amazon's device to most computing platforms.
62+
63+
Amazon executives didn't deny this is a possibility.
64+
65+
"Stay tuned," said a smiling Jon Jenkins, director of Amazon Silk..

Election-year ruling looms for health overhaul
2+
President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul appears headed for a Supreme Court ruling as the presidential election season hits full stride in the coming year.

WASHINGTON —
8+
President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul appears headed for a Supreme Court ruling as the presidential election season hits full stride in the coming year.
9+
10+
The health care law affecting virtually every American is sure to figure prominently in President Barack Obama's campaign for re-election. Republican contenders are already assailing it in virtually every debate and speech.
11+
12+
The administration on Wednesday formally appealed a ruling by the federal appeals court in Atlanta that struck down the law's core requirement that Americans buy health insurance or pay a penalty beginning in 2014. The administration said the appeals court decision declaring the law's central provision unconstitutional was "fundamentally flawed."
13+
14+
At the same time, however, the winners in that appellate case, 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Business, also asked for high court review Wednesday, saying the entire law, and not just the individual insurance mandate, should be struck down.
15+
16+
The Supreme Court almost always weighs in when a lower court has struck down all or part of a federal law, to say nothing of one that aims to extend insurance coverage to more than 30 million Americans.
17+
18+
The bigger question had been the timing.
19+
20+
The administration's filing makes it more likely that the case will be heard and decided in the term that begins next week.
21+
22+
Repeating arguments it has made in courts across the country in response to many challenges to the law, the administration said Congress was well within its constitutional power to enact the insurance requirement.
23+
24+
Disagreeing with that, the 26 states and the business group said in their filings that the justices should act before the 2012 presidential election because of uncertainty over costs and requirements.
25+
26+
On the issue of timing, their cause got an unexpected boost from retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who said voters would be better off if they knew the law's fate before casting their ballots next year.
27+
28+
The 91-year-old Stevens said in an Associated Press interview that the justices would not shy away from deciding the case in the middle of a presidential campaign and would be doing the country a service.
29+
30+
"It would be better to have that known about than be speculated as a part of the political argument," Stevens said in his Supreme Court office overlooking the Capitol.
31+
32+
Though the Atlanta appeals court struck down the individual insurance requirement, it upheld the rest of the law. The states and the business group say that would still impose huge new costs.
33+
34+
In another challenge to the same law, the federal appeals court in Cincinnati sided with the administration.
35+
36+
In a separate Supreme Court filing Tuesday night, the Obama administration said it does not appear necessary to grant review of the Cincinnati case, adding that consolidating the two cases could complicate the presentation of arguments "without a sufficient corresponding benefit."
37+
38+
The law would extend health coverage mainly through subsidies to purchase private insurance and an expansion of Medicaid. The states object to the Medicaid expansion and a provision forcing them to cover their employees' health care at a level set by the government.
39+
40+
The individual insurance mandate "indisputably served as the centerpiece of the delicate compromise that produced" the law, according to the states, with Florida taking the lead.
41+
42+
The administration said in the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the law's changes in the insurance market, including requiring insurers to cover people without regard for pre-existing health conditions, would not work without the participation mandate.
43+
44+
The insurance requirement is intended to force healthier people who might otherwise forgo insurance into the pool of insured, helping to reduce private insurers' financial risk.
45+
46+
Both appeals stressed the importance of resolving the overhaul's constitutionality as soon as possible, which under normal court procedures would be by June 2012.
47+
48+
Stevens said that if he still had a vote on the court on timing, he would cast it in favor of hearing the case sooner rather than later. He would not say how he would vote on the issue of the law's constitutionality, although he said the court's 6-3 decision in a 2005 case involving medical marijuana seems to lend support to the administration's defense of the law.
49+
50+
In addition to the competing rulings on the law's validity, a federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled that it was premature to decide the law's constitutionality. Citing a federal law aimed at preventing lawsuits from tying up tax collection, that court held that a definitive ruling could come only after taxpayers begin paying the penalty for not purchasing insurance. The administration suggested that the Supreme Court should consider that issue because of the appellate ruling.
51+
52+
The states, along with Florida, are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
