Santonio Holmes | WR
Posted: 6/14/2014 7:17pm et
The representatives for free-agent WR Santonio Holmes (Jets) believe Holmes will sign with a team during training camp. Tom Shaw, Holmes' personal trainer, said Holmes has recovered from the hamstring injury he dealt with in 2013 and is training with no restrictions.
Huddle Up: A healthy Holmes could still be a fantasy helper in the right situation, but at this point it will be more on the bye-week replacement level rather than as someone you select on draft day. That could change if he lands on a team prior to training camp, but don't hold your breath.

Free-agent WR Santonio Holmes (Jets) and LB James Harrison (Bengals) both would like to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to CB Ike Taylor.
Huddle Up: Holmes last season with the team which featured a career-high 79 catches for 1,248 yards in 2009, so a reunion would be far from a shocker with the Steelers in need of WR help opposite Antonio Brown.
Posted: 5/13/2014 11:38pm et
The Cleveland Browns could be interested in free-agents Santonio Holmes (Jets) and WR Miles Austin (Cowboys).
Huddle Up: While the Browns aren't giving up on Josh Gordon (see news item above), any length of suspension will leave the squad near-desperately shorthanded at WR, and Holmes and/or Austin could come in and quickly compete for the No. 1 wideout role.

Free-agent WR Santonio Holmes (Jets) is likely to wait until after the NFL Draft to select his next team, according to a league source.
Huddle Up: Holmes is coming off 2 injury-addled seasons -- missing a combined 17 games and catching only 43 total passes -- but should be able to catch on somewhere with a 1-year, incentive-laden deal.
Posted: 3/9/2014 11:12pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes is due a $1 million roster bonus Wednesday, March 12.
Huddle Up: There continue to be myriad reports that Holmes' 4-year run with the Jets will soon be over, and if that's going to be the case, expect an announcement on his release to come at any time.
Posted: 2/27/2014 10:44pm et
The New York Jets are expected to cut WR Santonio Holmes soon. There has been no talk of a pay cut.
Huddle Up: After 17 missed games and only 43 receptions over the last 2 injury-plagued seasons, it looks as if Holmes' 4-year run in the Big Apple is over. His time as a semi-reliable fantasy WR is done as well.
Posted: 2/17/2014 10:00am et
The New York Jets are likely to cut WR Santonio Holmes, which would save the team $8.25 million for 2014. The Jets are thought to have interest in using that money on Pittsburgh Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders or Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin if either is cut by his respective club.
Huddle Up: Holmes' big contract likely prices him out of New York, especially with the Jets still a run-first, defense-oriented squad. They would need to add receivers for Geno Smith to throw to, however; Austin should come relatively cheap, with Sanders a little more pricey. Either would be a welcome addition to the Jets' receiving corps.

New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) was able to play 41 snaps in the Week 14 game against the Oakland Raiders, and he posted three catches for 55 yards. Holmes said Sunday, Dec. 8, that he felt fine.
Huddle Up: It was great to have Holmes on the field for much of the game. If Jeremy Kerley hadn't jumped to catch a touchdown pass in front of him, Holmes might have had a great stat line.
Posted: 12/5/2013 1:37pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) was participating in positional drills in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.
Huddle Up: If you're counting on Holmes in the fantasy postseason, we don't need to tell you that things are pretty bleak.
Posted: 12/2/2013 10:46pm et
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said Monday, Dec. 2, that the team limited WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) to two snaps in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins to help keep him healthy the rest of the year. 'We thought he was going to play a little more than that,' Ryan said. 'We noticed as the coaches that the burst wasn't quite there. Instead of him possibly having a setback, we were only to play him in what we said was a must situation. We can't afford him to take a step back, lose him for the rest of the year. We need him going forward.'
Huddle Up: 2 snaps, 0 targets, 0 receptions -- it was a worst-case scenario for those fantasy owners who started Holmes in Week 13. Still with the Jets' WR only having had 3 receptions for 83 yards in his 2 games since coming back from his near-2-month absence in Week 11, maybe those fantasy owners were playing with fire to begin with.
Posted: 12/2/2013 10:40am et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) played sparingly in the Week 13 game against the Miami Dolphins. He did not have any receptions, and he was not targeted.
Huddle Up: This was likely due to lingering injury for Holmes. He cannot be trusted, it seems.
Posted: 11/22/2013 6:19pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring) was limited in practice Friday, Nov. 22, but is probable for Week 12.
Huddle Up: As long as Holmes plays, he should receive plenty of looks from Geno Smith given the state of the team's pass-catching corps as a whole. Roll with him as needed as a low No. 2 or flex option.
Posted: 11/21/2013 1:36pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot, knee) is not participating in practice Thursday, Nov. 21. Holmes is riding a bike off to the side during practice.
Huddle Up: Maybe something did flare up for Holmes, who was expected to return to practice Thursday. See how the Jets spin it later today, but it might be time to start growing a little wary of the WR's status for Sunday.
Posted: 11/20/2013 10:42pm et
Updating a previous report, New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot, knee) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 20, but he said he did not aggravate any of his injuries in the Week 11 game against the Buffalo Bills. 'No, it wasn't really a setback,' head coach Rex Ryan said. 'It's just that today we thought it was best that he miss practice and heal up a little bit. But it wasn't something that he had a major injury, let's say. So I expect him to practice (Thursday).'
Huddle Up: Holmes is set to start on Sunday against Baltimore. He's a dicey fantasy play but the good news is it's the Jets' week to play well.
Posted: 11/20/2013 2:18pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. It is not known if he is getting a day off or if he aggravated his hamstring injury.
Huddle Up: What else is new? Hopefully it's just a day off for Holmes, who had a decent day in his first action back from injury. Keep an eye on him this week.
Posted: 11/15/2013 3:09pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring) is listed as probable for Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: It's looks like Holmes will play for the first time since Week 4, giving rookie QB Geno Smith a veteran boost in his pass-catching corps.
Posted: 11/13/2013 8:57pm et
Although all indications point to WR Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring) will return to play in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills, but he continues to hesitate to declare himself ready. 'At this point it's still day by day. Inching a lot closer to playing and I just have to get the green light from the trainers,' Holmes said. 'I can say 'yeah, I want to play' but the production on the field with practice and through the rehab stuff has to be drastically improved to give me the green light.' Holmes last played Sept. 25 and has 10 catches for 243 yards and a touchdown on the season.
Huddle Up: Holmes had by far his best game of the season the first time these two teams played, catching five passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. However, he's off the fantasy radar right now.
Posted: 11/13/2013 10:53am et
According to sources close to New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring), he has accepted the idea that he will almost certainly be released after this season. If the team kept him around in 2014, he would count $10.75 million against the salary cap. The team is expected to release him before he is due a $1 million roster bonus in March.
Huddle Up: That's a ton of money to pay any receiver, let alone an aging one on a run-first team. Holmes should be a reasonably hot commodity in the free agent market, but he won't approach $10 mil a year.
Posted: 11/11/2013 4:55pm et
Updating a previous report, New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) looked sharp during practice drills Monday, Nov. 11, and appears to be on track to play Week 11 barring a setback.
Huddle Up: Finally, the Jets get some good news on offense. Holmes could have a big impact, both on his team and on yours. Pick him up if you have the room or the need.
Posted: 10/30/2013 11:51pm et
Updating a previous report, New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) is still unlikely to play in Week 9. The team has a bye in Week 10, and the expected scenario is for Holmes to return in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills. 'I still don't know. At this point, I was only able to do individuals. I'm pretty sure once things get rolling and I'm able to practice, that's when I'll be able to play,' Holmes said Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: This has been basically a lost year for Holmes. David Nelson has seen more playing time in Holmes' absence over the last two games, racking up 160 yards receiving yards, but no Jets' receiver is a recommended fantasy start this week.
Posted: 10/30/2013 4:02pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) participated in some individual drills during practice Wednesday, Oct. 30, and could have a chance to play Week 9.
Huddle Up: This would be a nice surprise for Geno Smith and the Jets. He's probably not worth starting, but pick him up if he's available. He could have a second-half impact on your team.
Posted: 10/28/2013 10:13pm et
The New York Jets are not very optimistic about WR Santonio Holmes' (hamstring) availability for their Week 9 game.
Huddle Up: It's still early in the week, but it sounds as if Holmes is on track to miss a 5th straight game.
Posted: 10/25/2013 9:14pm et
With New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) ruled out for the Week 8 game against the Cincinnti Bengals, WRs Stephen Hill, Jeremy Kerley (hamstring) and even David Nelson (hamstring) are likely to see more targets, as might TE Jeff Cumberland.
Huddle Up: Holmes likely won't return until after the Jets' Week 10 bye. With Holmes out, Kerley could see the biggest boost in targets from the slots but he's still only a flex play in deeper PPR formats this week against the Bengals.
Posted: 10/17/2013 7:33pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 7, and head coach Rex Ryan said Thursday, Oct. 17, 'it doesn't look good.' Holmes hasn't practiced in several weeks.
Huddle Up: Change the "looking like he'll miss his third straight game" portion of the earlier Holmes update to "will miss his third straight game."
Posted: 10/17/2013 2:03pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) is not participating in practice Thursday, Oct. 17.
Huddle Up: It's increasingly looking like Holmes will miss a 3rd straight game, but despite the missed time, he still ranks as the Jets' leading receiver with 18 catches for 300 yards and a score.
Posted: 10/16/2013 2:56pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Huddle Up: It sounds like Holmes might be out yet another week. The Jets offense could use him.
Posted: 10/11/2013 3:17pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring) has been ruled out for the teams Week 6 game.
Huddle Up: With Holmes out, Stephen Hill and Jeremy Kerley will once again see an increase in targets on Sunday when the Jets take on Pittsburgh. With Geno Smith playing better than expected, both receivers could be considered a flex play in deeper formats.
Posted: 10/9/2013 1:32pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 9, and is not expected to play Week 6.
Huddle Up: In case you were counting on him this week, don't.
Posted: 10/4/2013 9:31pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring) did not practice Friday, Oct. 4.
Huddle Up: Holmes isn't expected to play on Monday night. Stephen Hill could also miss the game against Atlanta, which means Clyde Gates would draw the start. He has zero fantasy value.
Posted: 10/1/2013 12:35pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes could miss a couple of weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Not that the Jets' passing game is anything special, but Holmes looked pretty good the past couple of weeks and was threatening to be fantasy-relevant. If he's out Stephen Hill and Jeremy Kerley would be the Jets' primary passing-game threats. The Jets also signed former Bill and Brown David Nelson to fill out the depth chart while Holmes is sidelined.
Posted: 9/26/2013 2:46pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) said he has a long ways to go to being 100 percent. 'I didn't have a lot of chances to practice up until this point and I still have a lot of learning and a lot of physical things to continue working on,' Holmes said. 'I still have a long ways to go. To be honest with you (my foot) doesn't feel better. But I have to challenge myself every day I get an opportunity to practice.'
Huddle Up: He has performed well through injury. Amazing what a contract year will do for motivation.
Posted: 9/11/2013 12:40am et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes voiced his displeasure about playing in only 45 snaps in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 'I was frustrated for myself, and respecting the coaching staff and the decision that they made that I understood from the beginning, that I had to play a certain amount of plays because it was my first game back,' Holmes said. 'I wanted to play more myself, but I had to understand what they had planned for me.' He caught only one pass for 13 yards on three targets in the game.
Huddle Up: It would seem to reason that the sideshows would be in short supply following the Jets' dramatic 18-17 season-opening win over the Bucs, but Holmes has decided to speak out. Stephen Hill led Jets' wideouts in receptions (6) and targets (9) in Week 1 while Jeremy Kerley was the top yardage producer (45 on 3 grabs) -- not surprising to everyone but Holmes, who spent most of the preseason on the PUP list dealing with a foot injury.
Posted: 9/5/2013 11:07pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) is expected to have a limited role Week 1 if he does not suffer any setbacks. He likely will be on a play count during the game but could be used on third downs.
Huddle Up: Limited role in a limited offense = no fantasy value whatsoever for Holmes.
Posted: 9/4/2013 8:56pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) would not commit to play in the regular season opener Sunday, Sept. 8, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he was asked. 'Still don't know,' Holmes said Wednesday, Sept. 4. 'Still haven't gotten any words from the docs yet on whether I should be playing or not. We're just going to keep playing it by ear now.'
Huddle Up: This has been going back and forth all summer about whether Holmes is healthy to play or not. At the end of the day it's irrelevant, at least in the short-term. Holmes could have a foot made of gold but unless the Jets' quarterback situation improves, his fantasy value will be limited in 2013.
Posted: 9/3/2013 10:48pm et
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he is hopeful WR Santonio Holmes (foot) will play in Week 1.
Huddle Up: Holmes was a hot fantasy commodity only 3 years ago following his 79-catch, 1,249-yard 2009 season season with the Steelers, but he's now available on the waiver wire in most drafts with a current ADP of 181.02. If he's close to healthy, though, he figures to be the Jets' No,. 1 target, so definitely keep an eye on him if you need WR help.
Posted: 9/2/2013 3:35pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) was participating during practice Monday, Sept. 2.
Huddle Up: This is almost a "believe it when we see it" issue with Holmes, but he is instantly the best receiver the Jets have when he can finally get back on the field. That isn't to say he has much fantasy value given his quarterback situation, but a waiver wire add to monitor early on.
Posted: 8/28/2013 1:06am et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) is back on the active roster, but he said Tuesday, Aug. 27, that he is not 100 percent, and did not offer any indication as to whether he will be available for the regular season opener Sept. 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 'I have a long career ahead of me, so I'm going to take the best risk and the best chances for myself and for the team,' Holmes said. He participated in practice on a limited basis Tuesday, and has only cut and run routes prior to the preseason game against the New York Giants, and no other times since his return.
Huddle Up: Outside of deeper leagues, fantasy GMs can ill afford to take up a roster space on Holmes given his uncertain availability and the Jets' far-from-settled QB situation.
Posted: 8/23/2013 8:00pm et
The New York Jets have activated WR Santonio Holmes (foot) from the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Huddle Up: Holmes finally received clearance from the Lisfranc injury that took two surgeries to fix. Holmes said this week that his foot still hurts him every day and with the Jets' question marks at quarterback, he isn't likely to post strong fantasy numbers in 2013.
Posted: 8/22/2013 7:53pm et
Some people in the New York Jets organization believe WR Santonio Holmes (foot) is healthier than he is letting on and is looking to avoid participating during training camp. Holmes has received clearance to resume football activities by a foot specialist in North Carolina but has not worked out yet. Some people believe Holmes said he will be ready to play when the regular season begins.
Huddle Up: Just another circus-like storyline for the Jets, who offer as few relevant fantasy options as any in the league.
Posted: 8/21/2013 5:53pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) said he is still experiencing pain in his foot and has not been cutting or running routes. He said there is no timetable on when he will be able to practice again.
Huddle Up: If you were looking to Holmes as a late-round flyer, you might want to re-think that strategy.
Posted: 8/12/2013 1:43pm et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) is able to jog but is not running at full speed at this point. Holmes said the trainers told him he is considered week-to-week but there is no timetable for his return.
Huddle Up: When he finally gets healthy, Holmes will be New York's top receiver—assuming he is back to form, anyway. The question is when will that happen? There are rumblings he might be out for the first four weeks of the season, but if he makes it back before Week 1, he will be a nice late-round flier. Keep an eye on his injury situation.
Posted: 8/5/2013 10:17am et
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes has told friends he expects to miss at least the first four games of the season.
Huddle Up: The Jets' passing game is already undermanned; being without Holmes for the first month of the season as he works through a foot injury certainly doesn't help.

Bridgwater couple mark 65th anniversary
3:30pm Tuesday 15th January 2013 in Bridgwater Area News By Kirsty James
A COUPLE from Bridgwater have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary at the pub where they had their engagement party.
Dorris and Dennis Watts, of Moorland Way, celebrated the occasion with family and friends at Brent Knoll's Red Cow pub.
Dorris told the Mercury: "We used to go courting at the pub. He was 15 and I was 16. We met at Weston Railway Station."
When asked the secret to their long marriage, Dennis said: "If you don't have a bit of banter everyday it won't work."
The couple, who still fondly tease each other today, had three girls and a boy. They have six grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Any chance Joe Harris had of joining teammate Mike Tobey in representing the United States at the international level is gone after the rising senior suffered a stress fracture in his left foot. He is expected to be sidelined for the next 3-6 weeks according to Virginia coach Tony Bennett.
The injury has thus forced Harris to withdraw from the USA Basketball World University Games Training Camp. He was set to compete for one of 12 roster spots on the team during the training camp held June 24-30 in Colorado Springs, Colo. The 2013 World University Games will be held July 7-16 in Kazan, Russia.
"Obviously, we are disappointed for Joe because he was really looking forward to this opportunity with USA Basketball," Bennett said. "Joe has worked really hard and he was excited about competing and measuring his game against some great players. His senior season and future professional career are the main priorities moving forward. We'll ensure he gets the proper rest and rehabilitation, so he'll be ready for the 2013-14 season."
Harris earned All-ACC first-team honors in 2012-13 after leading Virginia with a career-best 16.3 points per game. He tallied 20 or more points in nine games, including a career-high 36 in a 73-68 win over Duke.

After a hiatus, Marin authorities have started searching again for a Novato man who first disappeared in Corte Madera Creek earlier this week, according to the Marin Independent Journal.
Anthony Donelson, 23, was pulled over early on Monday, Dec. 24, on suspicion of drunk driving near Sir Francis Drake Blvd. and College Avenue, near the College of Marin in Ross.
Donelson, a Ross Valley native, allegedly ran down College Avenue away from officers, climbed a fence and jumped into Corte Madera Creek, which was raging after days of rain.
Officers followed Donelson, who was swimming away from them, along the creek. The officers used flashlights to keep an eye on him until they reached a point they couldn't follow him further.
Several agencies joined in the search, using a swift-water rescue boat, until the search was called off Monday afternoon.
When the search resumed on Thursday, it seemed more like a body recovery operation, the IJ reported. A variety of local agencies, including Marin sheriff's authorities and officials from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's office, scanned the creek from Kentfield toward Larkspur and Greenbrae as they used an underwater sonar camera, according to the IJ.
The search ended Thursday at sunset with no trace of Donelson. One sheriff's authority told the IJ the creek's current was stronger than expected at the mouth of the creek, making it possible Donelson was carried into the bay.
Donelson, an athlete and swimmer, grew up in Fairfax and San Anselmo and graduated from Sir Francis Drake High School, according to the IJ.
He had previously been arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and has a DUI conviction and domestic battery conviction, according to the IJ.

Weatherford Democrat
— By BRIAN SMITH
HUDSON OAKS — Residents here will begin seeing an increase in their water rates starting in April after a city council decision Thursday night.
An increase of between 2 percent and 6 percent depending on usage was approved by the council. The idea for the staggered increase came from council member Dan David who stated he believed that "everyone that benefits from the water system should pay."
The other two proposals being considered included one with a flat 4 percent increase in both tiered usage and the flat base rate. The other included making those in the top tiers pay for the bulk of the usage.
Mayor Pro Tem Tom Fitzpatrick asked if the increase was related to the Splash Kingdom Wild West Water Park coming online this spring and was told no. Assistant City Administrator Patrick Lawler said the park will be using its own well but will fill its pools via a pair of two-inch meters.
Lawler said what the park will be using amounts to about 10 residential pools. City Administrator Sheri Campbell-Husband said the city will be sending out a letter explaining the increase and what the reason behind it is.
The increase will bring in an estimated $38,000 per year. Funds will be used for work on the Red Eagle pump station and to tie in with the Dyegard system, Lawler said.
Lawler said the last rate increase was three years ago and is less because of the continued growth in the city.
In other news, after several rounds of debate, a preliminary choice has been made for the city's new logo, but not without a debate.
The logo decision is part of the city's new branding campaign, designed to give the city a more modern, aesthetically pleasing look. The new logo will have a blue H with a green O wrapped around the middle of it.
Campbell-Husband said the new logo will be unveiled once the city has a new slogan in place. The logo will be placed on the city's water tower, stationery and other places.
Council members narrowed their choices down to three and each choice got two votes originally. Discussion ensued and the blue H and green O won out.

If Loyola students could have it their way, they probably wouldn't want to be so unique they would be obvious award candidates.
The idea behind supporting Fair Trade is to hope that it catches on and becomes so common that it's not unusual.
The marketplace is nowhere near that kind of saturation for Fair Trade products, but maybe recognizing the Loyola Catholic School's Fair Trade efforts will help spread the word and motivate more consumers to buy Fair Trade products.
The group is capturing lots of attention. Tonight the Young Pathfinder Award goes to Loyola for being named the first Fair Trade School in Minnesota and the third nationwide.
Local Pathfinder awards recognize individuals and organizations that, in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr,. are action takers in the struggle for equal treatment, human rights and nonviolence.
Promoting and supporting Fair Trade fits perfectly into those goals. Fair Trade encourages better wages and improved conditions for workers who make products bought by consumers, from coffee to fabrics.
Under the leadership of the Fair Trade Student Committee, the school has been adhering to a set of criteria by Fair Trade Colleges and Universities USA and has put on various events to promote Fair Trade.
Teacher Emily Kracht took the responsibility of documenting the school's work toward the goal, which was a lengthy process. Some of the requirements included having Fair Trade products available at the school, developing a Fair Trade procurement policy, and committing to Fair Trade education, among other criteria.
This was obviously a big undertaking, and the school's efforts will not only be a living example of social justice at work for the Loyola school community, but for schools and communities everywhere.
The students organized their efforts to make a difference. Their work is a fitting tribute King and all he stood for.
Along with Loyola, Pathfinder award recipients Scott Fee and Hy-Vee, will be honored at tonight's event. A limited number of tickets are available at the door. The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration is 5:30 p.m. in the Halling Recital Hall at MSU. Social hour is 5:30 p.m with the program starting at 6:15 p.m. Entertainment follows. Tickets are $10 for adults. For more information, visit greatermankato.com/pathfinder-awards.

Gbassay "Omar" Koroma, a student at the Cedar Lane School in Vienna, was sentenced Friday on second degree-murder charges .
Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Charles J. Maxfield imposed a 20-year sentence, with 10 years suspended upon completion of mental health treatment and five years probation. He also ordered 19-year-old Koroma to pay $6,800 in reimbursement costs to a state victims' fund.
The evidence made clear from the beginning of the case that Koroma, who lives in Centreville, killed his father, but the prosecution and defense disagreed on the appropriate extent of the punishment. At the heart of both arguments was Koroma's long history of untreated mental problems—which started long before he stabbed his father with a kitchen knife, following an argument over housework.
"Francis Koroma got to say briefly to his girlfriend, Dora, 'Call 9-1-1, he's killed me,'" said Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Katherine Stott, reminding the judge of testimony in a preliminary hearing last fall. She argued that Koroma was a danger to the public and should be put away.
"If this defendant can take the most serious action against his father—against someone I assume he has some loving feelings for—what could he do to someone on the street?"
Defense attorney Jonathan Esten called the case "tragic," but told the judge that Koroma was not entirely responsible for his actions. Koroma grew up in Sierra Leone, a country gripped by a horrific civil war for over a decade. His family escaped to the United States as refugees.
Before the attack, he attended the in Vienna, a Fairfax County public school for adolescents with serious emotional disabilities.
When Koroma arrived at the psychiatric hospital, doctors described him as "overtly psychotic" and have since diagnosed him with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, Esten said.
"There's a long history of mental illness," Esten said, "and I would suggest to you that that history of mental illness not being addressed is why this happened."
Six members of Koroma's family were present in the courtroom Friday, some sniffing quiet tears as the lawyers presented their cases. Esten asked them to stand up and said that all had come out to support Koroma, despite what had happened.
"They're suffering on both ends," he said. "They've seen a loved one die, and now they're seeing a loved one sentenced to the penitentiary."
Koroma, , had little to say, but apologized to his family.
"I am sorry for what I did," he said.
The judge said that Koroma's mental health issues had factored into his decision.
"I think the degree of culpability in this case is not what you see in many murder cases," Maxfield said.

Jarvis Tyner (born July 11, 1941) is a executive vice chair of the Communist Party USA and a long-time member of the party's national board.
- As a leader of the CPUSA Tyner has been an active public spokesperson against racism, imperialism and war. He has written numerous articles and pamphlets and appears on the media, campuses and in other public venues advocating for peace, equality and the socialist alternative.
He currently resides in the Inwood section of Manhattan, N.Y., is married and is the father of four adult children[1].
Early life
Tyner was born in the Mill Creek community of West Philadelphia in 1941 and graduated from West Philadelphia High School.
Joining the Party
Jarvis Tyner joined the Communist Party USA, through the civil rights movement[2].
- At 20 I was a strong supporter of the civil rights upsurge that was sweeping the country.
- I was also just starting out my working life in the printing industry and eventually joined the union movement. In my civil rights activity, I was impressed by the dedication of many activists, Black and white, and those who stood out the most were members of theCommunist Party USA. I joined the Party because I felt it had the best understanding of how to win full equality for all. I could see that Marx, Engels, Lenin and our own great American Communists, offered solutions to the seemingly intractable problems of poverty, racism and war. The Party today continues its long commitment to anti-racism. The stronger the Party becomes, the closer we will be to the goal of freedom that the African American people, and all other people of good will, have been for.
Tyler joined the Communist Party USA at the age of 20.
After several years working in various industrial jobs in the Philadelphia area, where he was a member of the Amalgamated Lithographers and the Teamsters union, he moved to New York in 1967 to become the national chair of the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs of America, and later founding chair of the Young Workers Liberation League.
Jarvis Tyner was the Communist Party USA candidate for vice president of the U.S. in 1972 and 1976, running with party leader Gus Hall[3].
Inspired by Paul Robeson
Jarvis Tyner was inspired as a child and young man by the communist hero Paul Robeson;
- As a child growing up in my mother's West Philadelphia beauty shop, I heard the name Paul Robeson frequently. Robeson was held in high esteem. In our tight little African American working-class community where everybody was struggling to survive, Robeson was a national hero.
- Throughout the '40s, '50s and early '60s, the name Robeson was like magic to us. He was what Black leadership was supposed to be like. And the more they tried to persecute him, the stronger our support for him grew. Indeed, the fact that they persecuted him proved his greatness to us.
- My siblings and I were just one generation removed from being sharecroppers in the South. It gave us hope and the energy to struggle, as we heard that a Black man of his stature was a fighter for his people.
- Furthermore, when he was red-baited, our instinct was to reject redbaiting and the redbaiters. I remember wanting to be like Paul because he stood up to racism and was for the common person. He didn't give in or give up.
- I wanted to contribute to the struggle and, after my radicalization in the civil rights movement of the late '50s and '60s while in my early twenties, I began to work with the Communist Party.
In 1964 Tyner was a speaker on a program to honor Alexander Trachtenberg who was then the director of the Communist Party's International Publishers.
- After completing my little speech, I sat down and a thunderous applause filled the room. "Wow," I said to myself, "was I that good?" Actually it turned out it wasn't that. The thunderous applause was for a giant of a figure who had entered the room unexpectedly. That figure was Paul Robeson.
- My mouth dropped and that good feeling you get in the presence of a great leader overwhelmed me. He shook the hands of every one on the dais including mine. I was honored. I was also stunned. He took the mike and expressed his pleasure at being there. He greeted Trachty (as he was called) and spoke of how happy he was to be back home from Europe and that he was as dedicated to the struggle then as he ever was. To prove that he was the same Paul, he sang a verse or two of Deep River.
- That basso profondo voice filled the room and the audience was enthralled. As a 23-year old idealistic man, I was in Communist heaven[4].
National Anti-Imperialist Conference
Jarvis Tyner, National Chairman of Young Workers Liberation League was named as a sponsor of the Communist Party USA dominated National Anti-Imperialist Conference in Solidarity With African Liberation held at Dunbar Vocational High School, Martin Luther King Drive, Chicago, October 19 to 21 1973.[5]

Visiting China and Vietnam
A Communist Party USA delegation to China and Vietnam returned to the United States on Dec. 12 2006, with a "wealth of political and cultural experiences they say they hope to share with the U.S. public in order to build better understanding and friendship between the peoples of the U.S., China and Vietnam."
The delegation, made up of National Chair Sam Webb, Executive Vice Chair Jarvis Tyner, International Secretary Pamella Saffer and Labor Secretary Scott Marshall, visited at the invitation of the Communist Parties of China and Vietnam.
In China, they were hosted by the CPCs international department and were able to meet with leaders of the All China Womens Federation, the All China Federation of Trade Unions including a leader of the now famous Wal-Mart union and other leaders, party members and everyday citizens.
The delegation then traveled on to Vietnam. While the CPUSA has sent people to Vietnamese party congresses, and Tyner himself had visited Vietnam in 1972 while bombs were falling, this was the first official CPUSA delegation to ever visit. They described it as a moving experience.
Saffer and Webb both said that relations with between the CPUSA and the Chinese and Vietnamese parties had been further strengthened, and they look forward to building even stronger relations in the future.[12]

Supporting Barack Obama
In 2008 Communist Party USA leader Jarvis Tyner criss-crossed America, rallying party members, converting wavering Democrats and building support for Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama.
From the blog Maine Owl[14];
- It's time to stand up and be counted if you're a Democrat in Maine. Yes, I'm a registered Democrat and have had periods of actual participation in Party activities over the years...But I've made up my mind for Obama and I will stand for him at the caucus on Sunday.
- Why? Well, it happened today at a talk I went to record in Orono at the University. It was by Jarvis Tyner, executive vice-chair of the Communist Party USA, and former candidate for vice president of the U.S. Tyner made the case in favor of the social movement building behind Obama...
- I'm sold not because I put any special weight on the CP, but because I do believe in social movement, as Tyner helped me understand.
From the West Coast, the Communist Party led Willamette Reds of Oregon reported[15];
- The Civil and Human Rights Committee of SEIU Local 503, Oregon Public Employees Union sponsored and hosted a talk by Communist Party Vice Chair Jarvis Tyner, Local 503 retiree activist Ann Montague and union organizer Bob Novick on Friday, August 8 in Portland, Oregon...
- The Friday meeting was one of four events held in Oregon featuring Jarvis Tyner and discussions about the Party and the elections. A Thursday night dinner brought together CWA, SEIU and AFT members. A Saturday educational discussion involved the Oregon club and several friends, and was followed by a reception which brought together a mix of union and gay activists and some people from a West Salem neighborhood...
Committee to Celebrate the Life of Luis Miranda Rivas
In 2009 Jarvis Tyner was a member of the Committee to Celebrate the Life of Luis Miranda Rivas.[16]
Latinos for Peace
On October 31 2009, Latinos For Peace issued a statement calling for "no escalation of the war in Afghanistan and for expedited withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan as well as an end to the coup government in Honduras".
More than 100 activists endorsed the call, including Jarvis Tyner, New York.[17]
Obama only the beginning
Jarvis Tyner, executive vice chairman of the Communist Party USA, spoke to 70 people at Missouri University's Ellis Auditorium in mid November 2009 and said the election of President Barack Obama opens the door for the left wing, which he feels has allowed itself to be pushed to the sidelines and overcome with progress-impeding cynicism, to mobilize.
"He's only the beginning," Tyner said. "I think he's a transitional president. I think somebody else is going to come in and take it even further."
Although the president is neither a communist nor socialist, his administration marks the country's movement away from the right-wing governments that have been dominant in the U.S. since the Reagan administration, Tyner said.
He said that while the Democratic Party is not without blame, the Republican leadership has been the source of the nation's problems that include an increase in poverty, a ruined economy, the continuation of global warming, impeded scientific research and the destruction of public schools by No Child Left Behind.
Tyner said he and his party are not completely satisfied with the work Obama has done since taking office, listing the need to withdraw troops more quickly from Iraq, for initiatives to end nuclear weapons and to re-establish trading relations with Cuba.
However, Tyner praised the public option in the recently passed House health care bill, saying Americans need to put massive pressure on the Senate to pass the legislation with the option intact. He also felt there should be public options for the auto and housing industries and for student loans...
He said the next step for the Communist Party USA is to move more into the mainstream.
"We're not ready to run for president, but we are ready to run for City Council, school boards. And we're going to do that more," Tyner said.[18]

Proud of leaders who stood for life
Dear Editor,
Texas made history last week when the Texas Legislature passed the largest single piece of pro-life legislation in the United States.
I am so grateful to live in the state of Texas where our leaders are willing to stand up against unprecedented opposition to defend life. Over the past several months, I have been blessed to have the opportunity to work with Carol Everett and play a small part in the passage of this bill.
There have been so many ups and downs over this pro-life legislation. Since January, I have watched this legislation gain support, slowly die, and then be brought back to life so many times. Through the emotional highs and lows, we continued working and praying, never giving up hope that God could work a miracle in Texas and save the lives of countless women and unborn babies in Texas.
During the past months, I have had the opportunity to sit in on numerous committee hearings and floor debates. I have worked with several major pro-life groups, met with many of the conservative senators and representatives, and heard the passionate stories of courageous men and woman who have amazing personal experiences to share. I watched Sen. Glenn Hegar stand tirelessly for hours while boldly and courageously defending life.
I saw Rep. Jodie Laubenberg go head-to-head with the most pro-abortion member of the Texas House. I witnessed Gov. Perry and Lt. Gov. Dewhurst passionately stand for life and refuse to give up the fight. I listened as Democrat Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. passionately stood in his blue suit and supported life, even when his fellow democrat Senators did not. I sat as senators Donna Campbell and Charles Schwertner, representatives Bryan Hughes and Greg Bonnen and many others courageously joined in the fight and unashamedly stood for life.

Dear future son/daughter,
I'm letting you read this letter because of the hard times you are going through. You may be having friend problems or some other problems where you need to make a choice. Well, I had those same problems when I was your age. I was going through some hard times, but I made it and so can you. I learned how to say "no" to things I learned were wrong. Sometimes I did say "yes" and it was hard. It might be hard for you too. If you choose to do the wrong things the consequences could be hard and hurtful. You can live through the tough challenges if you make the right choices. I would like you to meet that special person that will make you happy someday, not someone that will use you for the wrong things. You are still a kid so don't try to grow up so fast, wait until you are older and are married. I know that you can wait and be the best that you can be. Make me and your dad proud. Make the right choice. We know you can do it. I love you even though we haven't met yet!
Above the influence!
Dear future son/daughter,
You might be going through some hard times right now so I'm here to help you through them. I want to tell you some things I have gone through as a teen. I did things in my past that I should not have done. Sometimes it was hard for me to say "no", but I learned from my mistake and I now know what I should have said. I don't want you to experience what I did and you need to know when to say "no and not past the boundaries. What I went through was hard and I want to encourage you to make positive choice in life.
Love, Mom

The founding Board of Directors in 1957, led by chairman O. S. Lincoln, unanimously affirmed that
"the purpose of the school is to recruit and train leadership for the church at large according to the New Testament teaching."
Central continues that legacy of a strongly conservative, biblically grounded, higher educational institution that consistently champions the rock-solid principles of the Restoration Movement. Since 1957, over 4,100 students have studied under kingdom-focused, globally commissioned professors. These servant-leaders pass on to others this legacy of loving the Word of God. They understand scriptural doctrine and teach those truths all around the world, serving as preachers, ministers, and missionaries.
All four-year ministry programs require 54 hours of Bible and theology.
This legacy that is rooted in Scripture needs to grow! The world needs more authentic kingdom leaders who passionately penetrate the darkness with the light of God's Word. According to the Joshua Project, there are 6,954 unreached people groups in the world, totaling 2.84 billion people who need Jesus. Paul tells us in Romans 10:14-15:
"And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent?"
Central sends out servant-leaders for the church. Since 2000, more than 750 Central graduates have been sent to serve. The lasting value of Central's legacy will be sustained by this "Growing Our Legacy" campaign and your partnership. Together we can provide resources for the full-tuition scholarship, for the safety and security of our students, and for the proper stewardship of campus facilities.

Just before Brandon LaFell coolly breezed into the end zone for a 79-yard score in last Sundays victory at Minnesota, Ted Ginn Jr. delivered a de-cleating block to Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes that had Ginns phone light up with about 50 texts after the game.
With the game out of reach early in the fourth quarter, Cam Newton found DeAngelo Williams underneath and Steve Smith sent a crushing blow to would-be tackler Chad Greenway that gave Williams room to get the first down.
Those kinds of blocks get replayed on highlight reels, not the ones that look like little more than a receiver getting tangled up with a defensive back.
But those are the ones LaFell specializes in, and the kind that have Ron Rivera calling him the best blocking receiver on the Carolina Panthers.
I get so teed off when I dont get the ball that I want to hit somebody, LaFell said. Whatever play it is, I got to go block so I have to go take my frustrations out on whoevers in front of me.
Receivers blocks dont make the stats sheet and, short of ones like Ginns and Smiths on Sunday, they are rarely even talked about.
LaFell, however, takes pride in his blocking. The teams No. 2 wide receiver learned in his college days at Louisiana State that if he wanted to get on the field as a rookie playing for a big-time national program, he needed to do more than just catch passes.
He is our best blocking wide receiver, and a lot of his blocks are made downfield, Rivera said. When you see him block downfield, you know hes rolling.
LaFells best block of the season, according to him, came two weeks ago at Arizona. On a quick pass to Greg Olsen, LaFell blocked cornerback Jerraud Powers and then got upfield to block free safety Tyrann Mathieu as Olsen gained 25 yards on the opening drive of the game.
He does a lot of stuff for us at that position ... especially downfield, Olsen said. I think the biggest thing with blocking is effort, especially for the receivers. Hes a big, strong guy, but a lot of it is effort.
Against Minnesota, LaFell got downfield on a first-quarter run and blocked the free safety, enabling Williams to turn a modest, left-end run into a 22-yard gain that was his longest of the day.
It starts with knowing the play call and where Williams, fullback Mike Tolbert or Newton plan to run. Then, LaFell has to hold his point and be stronger than the defender trying to outlast his block.
The downfield blocks come when the safety isnt expecting it, LaFell said.
Nine times out of 10 the safeties, theyre so keyed on the back and whats going on in the backfield, theyre reading their key which is the (offensive) tackle, LaFell said. When they see their key block, they take their mind off you and theyre in attack mode.
So when they take their eyes off me, its just like when I catch the ball and Im not looking at them, they try to go get me off my feet and Im trying to do the same thing.
Offensive coordinator Mike Shula called LaFell a real football player for not only his athletic prowess and receiving ability but also his knowledge of the game. Wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl said that as a No. 2 receiver, LaFell is asked to do some of the dirty work while pass-catchers Smith and Olsen get the targets.
Just being around as a player and now as a coach for three years, I have so much respect for what he does, Proehl said. Hes in there blocking in run personnel, and he enjoys doing it. We ask him to do a lot of things that some of the other guys cant do. I try to just tell him that it doesnt go unnoticed, especially by me.
LaFell has 15 catches for 220 yards and a team-leading three receiving touchdowns. Those numbers have him on pace for the best season of his four-year career.
But LaFell is still missing a big block, the kind Smith and Ginn had last week.
He had one two years ago against Washington. On the third play of the game, Newton scrambled out of the pocket from the Carolina 21 as LaFell began to come back from his go route down the sideline.
Redskins safety LaRon Landry doubled back to Newton and was within 3 yards of the quarterback when LaFell lowered his shoulder into Landrys left side. Newton gained 25 yards on the play.
LaFell and Landry were college teammates at LSU, and LaFell remembered the way Landry used to hit him in practice. LaFell said Landry hasnt forgotten the hit.
I had my head on a swivel for the rest of the game because I knew what kind of guy he is, LaFell said. He mentions it to me every offseason when we work out. And Im not looking forward to playing him any time soon.

Most of my everything .. has Marcasite. This is "Okay" I almost returned, but for the price, I kept it. It does not sparkle like "Marcasite" does. Very dull shine .. but again, for the price ... it's okay. I wouldn't wear on special occasion but more "Everyday" wear.
Very cute! cant wait to wear them. will go nice with a black dress
These are even more beautiful in person. I love silver marcasite and these ear rings are just awesome. I also got the matching necklace. The whole set is gorgeous. I whole-heartedly recommend it!
I love it!!! So beautiful and chic.The earrings are a little bit more smaller than I expected. Good price and the delivery was fast.
I purchased these earrings because the ones in department stars that were similar were too expensive. These are beautiful. They are good quality and sprakle beautifully. I have worn them twice and got compliments both times. Once again, delivery was great and timely.
These earrings are very light weight yet have a lot of presence. Some sparkle due to marcasite, but not much. Good value for the money
Lovely to look at ---at MOST REASONABLE prices. However, there is not much sparkle to these earrings because the marcasites are quite small. I will be returning these earrings because (a) the stem in back of one the the earrings was off-centered and therefore, the earring did not hang normally. (b) the stem is quite fragile and delicate and will not withstand many uses, even if using great care. I have been a long-time Overstock.com customer and have been very pleased to do business with them. Just keep in mind: nothing is perfect. I will be returning these earrings and requesting a refund. However, I plan to continue doing business with Overstock.com
This was another gift for a friend. I would definitely recommend it.
I love these earrings. The only thing I wish was different were the backs of the earrings. They are so small and tiny to handle.
Bought the earrings and then found the necklace. Was very happy to have the two together. Vintage jewelry is my favorite. This is great jewelry I am very happy withit.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Anyone who regularly searches online real estate listings knows it can be a time-consuming affair.
There are roughly 12 different multiple listing services in northern Michigan alone, meaning prospective buyers, sellers and real estate agents find themselves navigating multiple websites, each with different search engines, to find a perfect property.
Three Michigan real estate associations are trying to eliminate some of the duplicity by regionalizing the multiple listing service for northern Michigan. The Traverse Area Association of Realtors joined with two other associations to launch the new mls system, known as the Northern Great Lakes Realtors MLS. The site allows users to search property listings in the Grand Traverse, central and northeastern Michigan regions, making thousands more listings from across the state available to users.
"It's going well," said Kim Pontius, president of TAAR. "We started on time and under budget, and it's already in the black four months in."
The problem of navigating multiple mls systems is real for northern Michigan sellers, buyers and realtors, said Matthew Dakoske, a real estate agent with Re/Max Bayshore Properties. Anyone who wants to search for a property in Buckley, for instance, might have to navigate three different listing services, he said.
Associations in Wexford and Manistee offer differing databases, meaning a sale or purchase feasibly could slip through the cracks if all of the databases aren't being mined on a daily basis.
"There is still this control issue by certain boards of realtors," Dakoske said. "They want to control the information. Then they can control the buyers."
There are 10 other realtor associations in northern Michigan that potentially could join the service. Many of those associations are standing by and waiting to see how the Northern Great Lakes venture develops.
Debra Townsend, association executive of the Central Michigan Association of Realtors, said work on the project started in late 2010. Association members said in a survey that they wanted a centralized database.
"We'd like one place to go for all the information," Townsend said.
The new website is at http://www.nglrmls.com/. The Northeastern Board of Realtors also is a participant in the partnership.
Pontius said there's been a lot of talk over the years about a statewide MLS listing like ones used in Colorado and California. It's far from clear if it will ever happen. Pontius said a statewide association of realtors has not expressed an interest in taking on the project so far.
"First we have to see how it works at a regional level," Pontius said.

How an Actuarial Review of Self Insurance Claims Turned the Ship Around for One Large Cruise Line
Seeking savings through safety
Last Updated:
A large cruise line self-insures for claims brought by crew and passengers. It needed to be sure it was holding adequate reserves to cover those claims, but even more, could it find a way a way to reduce the number and cost of claims altogether?
When a routine audit revealed the cruise line was not holding sufficient reserves for the volume of claims made, the auditors suggested an actuarial review to determine what amount would be appropriate. Working with Deloitte, the company conducted the review, which included looking at loss trends: Were the number of claims increasing? Was the amount of those claims increasing as well?
Along with calculating a reserve amount, the analysis gave the company a benchmark of its claims picture against other industries and against other cruise lines. It also revealed a sobering truth: Claims had become increasingly more frequent each year and, in turn, so had the cost required to cover those claims. While crew claims were comparable to the company's competitors, passenger claims were much higher.
The company was eager to reverse these trends and Deloitte helped them as they evaluated several mitigation strategies. Presentations to various corporate functions, such as finance, claims, risk management, and operations, helped them understand the issues and their role in improvement efforts. The company knew its claims process and systems were less effective than they could be, and took steps to learn effective claims practices and acquire a new, more robust claims system.
Many claims were found to be safety-related, such as slip-and-fall injuries. The company engaged a safety consulting firm to review its practices and work on improvements. To keep management apprised of progress, an executive dashboard was also created as an online window on loss results and a generator for quarterly and monthly monitoring reports.
What began as a somewhat routine actuarial review morphed into a much more helpful examination of overall self-insurance practices that helped the company realize significant benefits. Major accomplishments include:

Two men have been arrested and charged with robbing three Suffolk County businesses and attempting to rob three others over the past week, police said.
Police said an off-duty Nassau County cop helped catch Thomas Leahey, of Ronkonkoma, and Joseph Salvia, of Commack, after employees at Stony Brook's Cool Monkey Desserts told the cop that the business had just been robbed by two men Sunday night.
The Nassau cop followed the suspects from the scene and aided responding Suffolk County police officers in the apprehension of the men, police said.
Following an investigation, Leahey and Salvia were charged with three counts of first degree robbery for robberies at Tropical Smoothie Café at 532 Larkfield Road in East Northport on Feb. 1, at a Subway at 530 Route 111 in Hauppauge on Jan. 29 and at Beach Bum Tanning at 6168 Jericho Turnpike in Commack on Jan. 28.

Leahey and Salvia were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Central Islip.

Greg Hopp has a winning streak going in the Tri-Cities.
Hes 2-for-2 in Grand Prix West finals on the Columbia River after Sundays six-boat race.
Hopps GP-12 Shooters Sports Bar Presents Miss Slabjack held a two-roostertail lead as it went through Turn 2 of the third and final lap.
By the finish, it had an even larger advantage over the GP-15 PumpTech NW.
There might have been an air of invincibility as Hopp defended his title, but it wasnt as easy as it looked.
The water was really rough, said Hopp, who fought the current to win Saturdays two heats. The left sponson made a pop. Some stuff popped loose, maybe a brain cell.
Hopp had enough brain cells to know what could be coming behind him: His father, Jerry, was driving the GP-15, and he had a big propeller that could help him catch the GP-12.
But Jerry Hopp decided not to push his boat after a red light began to flicker, signaling a drop in oil pressure. He still took second, beating out David Warren (GP-19 Sahara Pizza), Dustin Echols (GP-17 Little Caesars Pizza/EF-65 Hand Cleaner) and Scotty Pierce (GP-55 Cabo Marine).
The Hopps didnt get to have a father-son finish in last years GPW final. A battery meltdown kept Jerry at the dock as Greg roared to victory.
That was a tough weekend for Jerry Hopp, who arrived in the Tri-Cities as the national high points leader. By that Sunday, his son had taken over the top spot.
Though Greg Hopp remains the man to beat in GPW this season, Jerry Hopp was happy they both finally got in a full race here.
A problem developed with the GP-15s intake manifold during the first heat Saturday, and the boat was scratched from the second heat.
There was no playing around, Jerry Hopp said. This was foot-to-the-floor racing.
Unfortunately for Leslie Poodle Warren, she didnt get to push her GP-43 ExtremePlay Racing to the limit.
After the boat hit a high roller just yards from the shore, the left sponson was submerged, water cascaded over the top of the canopy, and Warrens race was over before it really began.
The GP-43 ended up drifting toward the blue bridge as the other boats sped around the course.
When youre coming off the beach, water is coming up from the boat, and I didnt see the roller, Warren said. I didnt have a chance to let off the throttle. I didnt have a chance to do anything.
Warren was less sad for herself than for her crew, which repaired sponson damage before the final.
Were all disappointed, she said, but its not over. Well be back.
In all likelihood, so will Greg Hopp for a crack at title No. 3.
Bob (Schellhase, boat owner) spent a lot of money on the boat this year, he said. Hopefully, theres enough in the coffers for next year.
Grand Prix West final

NEOSHO, Mo. —
A young woman testified Tuesday that Ronald Seward gave her a blue pill that caused her to slip in and out of consciousness and ultimately left her with an inescapable suspicion that she had been raped.
For one thing, when she finally regained her senses, she was wearing cutoff sweat pants and a T-shirt that belonged to someone else, she told the court.
Then there was what Seward said to her when she came around. He told her he had made $150 off her, she told the court. She was uncertain what that meant, but that's what he said, she testified.
Although the woman could offer no clear memory of having been sexually assaulted by Seward or anyone else, Associate Judge Gregory Stremel found her testimony and that of the detective involved in the case sufficiently compelling to order Seward, 48, of rural Seneca, bound over for trial in Newton County Circuit Court on charges of forcible rape and felony assault.
The woman testified that she went to a casino with Seward and others the night of Nov. 11, before accompanying him to his residence on Redbud Road.
A probable-cause affidavit alleges that Seward became upset when she refused "to do a line of dope with him." She told the court that she took the blue pill that he gave her because he was intimidating and she was afraid of him.
The affidavit states that he told her it was Xanax. She testified that she soon began slipping in and out of consciousness.
When she came to, he was kneeling beside her inside his mobile home, and she noticed the change of clothes she had undergone. The affidavit states that she asked him to take her home over and over again, but he would not. She was unable to find her phone and asked him where it was. He gave it to her, but the battery was dead, according to the affidavit.
She ran out the door of the residence to a church down the road, where she was able to get a ride from an elderly couple, she told the court. Her mother met them and took her to a hospital in Grove, Okla., where she was treated for a drug overdose and transferred to a Joplin hospital for a rape exam.
No expert testimony concerning the exam was presented at the preliminary hearing, although the probable-cause affidavit states that evidence of bruising and a small amount of fluid were discovered at the hospital.
Wanda Williams, an investigator with the Newton County Sheriff's Department, testified that the bruises included marks on the woman's right hand consistent with an injection by needle. Williams said a search warrant was obtained for the defendant's home, where components of a methamphetamine lab were seized.
Williams testified that there were two men other than the defendant at the residence when the search warrant was served. She told the court that one of the men, Christopher Alexander, told her that the defendant had commented to him that he held the woman down and raped her.
When Assistant Prosecutor Bill Dobbs called Alexander to testify at the hearing, he denied that Seward ever told him that or that he told the investigator that Seward had done so.
"He never said anything like that to me," Alexander said.
Defense attorney William Fleischaker argued that no evidence was presented Tuesday that any sexual assault took place. The judge disagreed and set Seward's initial appearance in a trial division of the court for Feb. 1.
Drug charges
IN ADDITION to rape and assault charges, Ronald Seward is facing two felony drug counts in connection with a suspected meth lab in his home and ephedrine pills allegedly found in his vehicle. He has yet to have a preliminary hearing on those charges.
