The Florida School for Boys, also known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (AGDS), was a reform school operated by the state of Florida in the panhandle town of Marianna from January 1, 1900, to June 30, 2011.[1][2] For a time, it was the largest juvenile reform institution in the United States.[3] A second campus was opened in the town of Okeechobee in 1955. Throughout its 111-year history, the school gained a reputation for abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and even murder of students by staff. Despite periodic investigations, changes of leadership, and promises to improve, the allegations of cruelty and abuse continued. Many of the allegations were confirmed by separate investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010 and the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice in 2011.[4] State authorities closed the school permanently in June 2011.
Campus and structure[edit]
From its opening until the 1980s, the Marianna site was an open campus of about 1400 acres without any perimeter fencing. The site was originally divided into two sub-campuses, South Side or "Number 1," for white students, and North Side, or "Number 2," for "colored" students, who were segregated from white students until 1968. A cemetery was located in the North Side, which contains the graves of more than 50 deceased students. In 1990-91, the North Side campus was permanently closed.[1]
In 1929, an 11-room concrete block detention building containing two cells (one for white, and one for black students) was constructed to house incorrigible or violent students. It was eventually nicknamed "The White House." After corporal punishment at the school was abolished in 1967, the building was used for storage. In 2008, in response to the allegations of beatings and torture that took place there, state officials sealed the building in a public ceremony, leaving a memorial plaque, and it has remained empty since that time.[1]
At the time of the Justice Department investigation in 2010-2011, shortly before the closure, Dozier was a fenced, 159-acre "high-risk" residential facility for 104 boys aged 13 to 21 who had been committed there by a court; their average length of stay at Dozier was nine to twelve months. They lived in several cottages, with each boy having an unlocked room. Next door was the Jackson Juvenile Offender Center, a "maximum-risk" facility for chronic offenders guilty of felonies or violent crimes, which housed residents in single, locked cells like a prison.[4]
According to the 2010 abuse investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the school was first organized under an 1897 act of the legislature and began operations on the Marianna campus on January 1, 1900, as the Florida State Reform School, under the control of five commissioners appointed by the governor, who were to operate the school and make biennial reports to the legislature.[1]
At some time thereafter, the commissioners were replaced by the governor and cabinet of Florida, acting as the Board of Commissioners of State Institutions. In 1914, the name was changed to the Florida Industrial School for Boys and in 1957 to the Florida School for Boys. In 1955, the Okeechobee campus opened. In 1967, the name of the Marianna campus was changed to the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, in honor of a former superintendent of the school.[1]
In 1903, an inspection reported that children at the school were commonly kept in leg irons.[5] A fire in a dormitory at the school in 1914 killed six inmates and two staff members.[6]
A 13-year-old boy sent to the school in 1934 for "trespassing" died 38 days after arriving there.[7]
In 1968, Florida Governor Claude Kirk said, after a visit to the school where he found overcrowding and poor conditions, that "somebody should have blown the whistle a long time ago."[8] At this time, the school housed 564 boys, some for offences as minor as school truancy, running away from home, or "incorrigibility."[9] They ranged in age from ten to sixteen years old.[10] Officially, corporal punishment at the school was banned in August 1968.[11]
In 1969, as part of a governmental reorganization, the school came under the management of the Division of Youth Services of the newly created Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS). In 1996, HRS was reorganized as the Florida Department of Children and Families.
1980s and 1990s[edit]
In 1982, an inspection revealed that boys at the school were "hogtied and kept in isolation for weeks at a time," and the ACLU filed a lawsuit over this and similar mistreatment. By this time, the school was housing 105 boys aged thirteen to twenty-one.[12][13] Lawsuits concerning the school led to federal control of Florida's juvenile justice system from 1987 onward.[14][15]
In 1985, it emerged that young ex-inmates of the school, sentenced to jail terms for crimes committed while there, had subsequently been the victims of torture at the Jackson County jail.[16] The method of torture was for the prison guards to handcuff the teenagers and then hang them from the bars of their cells, sometimes for over an hour.[17] The guards stated that their superiors approved the practice and that it was routine.[18]
In 1994, the school was placed under the management of the newly created Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, which operated the school until its closure in 2011.[1] By this time, the school had facilities to house 135 inmates, and many of the boys sent there had been convicted of rape or of committing "lewd acts on other children."[19]
21st century[edit]
In April 2007, the acting superintendent of the school and one other employee were fired following allegations of abuse of inmates.[20]
In late 2009, the school failed its annual inspection. Amongst other problems, the inspection found that the school failed to deal properly with the large numbers of complaints from the boys held there, including allegations of continued mistreatment by the guards. State Representative Darryl Rouson said that the system was struggling to move on from a longstanding "culture of violence and abuse."[12]
In a report published by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2010, 11.3% of boys surveyed at the school reported that they been subject to sexual misconduct by staff using force in the last twelve months, and 10.3% reported that they had been subject to it without the use of force. 2.2% reported sexual victimization by another inmate. These percentages meant the home was deemed to have neither "high" nor "low" rates of sexual victimization compared with the other institutions assessed in the survey, which covered 195 facilities in the USA.[21]
In July 2010, the state announced its plan to merge Dozier with JJOC, creating a single new facility, the North Florida Youth Development Center, with an open campus and a closed campus. However, the following year, claiming "budgetary limitations," the state decided to close both facilities on June 30, 2011; remaining students were sent to other juvenile justice facilities around the state.[4]
White House Boys[edit]
Following revelations from former inmates who had been incarcerated at the school in the 1950s and 1960s, who described themselves as "The White House Boys," the school was the subject of an extensive special report, For Their Own Good, published by the St. Petersburg Times in 2009.[22] Allegations focusing on the 1960s included claims that one room was used for whipping white boys and another for black boys. The whippings were carried out with a 3-feet-long belt made of leather and metal and were thorough enough that the recipients' underwear became embedded in their skin. One inmate said that the punishments were severe but justified; another claimed that he had seen a boy trapped in a running laundry dryer at the school and suspected the boy was killed.[23]
One former inmate claimed that he was punished in the white house eleven times, receiving a total of over 250 lashes. Others alleged that they were whipped until they lost consciousness and that the punishments were made harsher for boys that cried.[8] Some former inmates also claimed that there was a "rape room" at the school where they were sexually abused.[24] The complainants said that some of the victims were as young as nine years old.[25]
In February 2010, a class-action suit brought against the state by the White House Boys was dismissed by a judge in Leon County, Florida, because the statute of limitations for such a suit had run out.[26] A bill introduced in the 2012 session of the Florida Legislature to provide compensation to victims of abuse at the school failed to pass.[27][28]
Florida Department of Law Enforcement, 2010[edit]
On December 9, 2008, Florida Governor Charlie Crist directed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the allegations of abuse, torture, and murder brought forward by the White House Boys and their law firm.[29] Crist requested that the department determine:
1) the entity that owned or operated the property at the time the graves were placed, 2) identification, where possible, of the remains of those individuals buried on the site and 3) determine if any crimes were committed, and if so, the perpetrators of those crimes.[30]
Over one hundred interviews of former students, family members of former students, and former staff members of the school were conducted during the 15-month investigation, which produced no concrete evidence linking any of the student deaths (it was determined that the thirty-one graves at the facility had been dug between 1914 and 1952) to the actions of school staff, or that there had been attempts to conceal deaths.[8][6][31] None of the graves were opened during the investigation.[32]
A forensic examination of the white house building was conducted. No trace evidence of blood on the walls was found. Some former Dozier students told investigators that they felt they "needed the discipline."[29] Troy Tidwell, who was a staff member at the school at the time, said that punishments in the white house building were not excessive and were carried out with the leather strap because there were concerns that spankings with wooden paddles might injure the boys.[24]
In January 2010, the Department of Law Enforcement released its findings:[1]
This investigation included over one hundred interviews of former students, family of former students, and former staff members of the school. The interviews confirmed that in addition to the implementation of the Individual Rating System, school administrators used corporal punishment as a tool to encourage obedience. The interviews revealed little disagreement about the way in which corporal punishment was administered. The former students were consistent in that punishment was administered by school administrators and adult staff witnesses in the building referred to as the White House. The former students were consistent in stating that a wooden paddle or leather strap was the implement used for administering punishment. The area of disagreement amongst former students was the number of spankings administered and their severity. Although some former students stated that they were "beaten" to the point that the skin of their buttocks blistered and bled profusely, there was little to no evidence of visible residual scarring. A secondary disagreement was the former students' perceptions of the punishment process. Some former students stated that their spankings caused them no psychological harm and that they learned from their mistakes while others stated that, mentally, they suffered greatly as a result and still do so to this day.
Some reports by former students stated that in addition to corporal punishment, they were also subjected to sexual abuse at the hands of former staff members or other students. With the passage of over fifty years, no tangible physical evidence was found to either support or refute the allegations of physical or sexual abuse.
On March 11, 2010, State Attorney Glenn Hess announced that no criminal charges would be filed in the case. After interviewing investigators and attorneys representing both the White House Boys and an administrator, and after reviewing the Department of Law Enforcement's report, Hess concluded that he would be unable to prove or disprove criminal wrongdoing in the case in a court of law.[33]
Department of Justice, 2011[edit]
In its December 2011 report of its investigation at the Dozier School, the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice made the following findings about staff at the school, who were cited for use of excessive force, inappropriate isolation, and extension of confinement:[4]
The youth confined at Dozier and at JJOC were subjected to conditions that placed them at serious risk of avoidable harm in violation of their rights protected by the Constitution of the United States. During our investigation, we received credible reports of misconduct by staff members to youth within their custody. The allegations revealed systemic, egregious, and dangerous practices exacerbated by a lack of accountability and controls. . . .
These systemic deficiencies exist because State policies and generally accepted juvenile justice procedures were not being followed. We found that . . . staff did not receive minimally adequate training. We also found that proper supervision and accountablity measures were limited and did not suffice to prevent undue restraints and punishments. Staff failed to report allegations of abuse to the State, supervisors, and administrators. Staff members often failed to accurately describe use of force incidents and properly record use of mechanical restraints.
University of South Florida, 2012-2013[edit]
Erin Kimmerle is a forensic anthropologist and University of South Florida associate professor who is leading a USF team of anthropologists, biologists, and archaeologists exploring the Marianna campus. The stories of the White House Boys piqued her interest. She was especially curious why there are no records of where those who died there are buried. Kimmerle commented, "When you look at the state hospital, the state prisons, the other state institutions at the time, there are very meticulous plot maps you can reference. Or if you are a family member today, you can say, 'Where is my great-aunt buried?' and they can show you exactly where. So, why that didn't happen here, I don't know. But that does stand out."[34]
The team used ground-penetrating radar and excavations to identify where bodies are buried. However, in order to determine if the cause of death was from injury, illness, or murder,[35] the bodies must be exhumed, which can be done only if a family member requests it.[34] By December 2012, the researchers indicated that there are at least 50 graves on the grounds and that a second cemetery is likely to exist.[7]
Glen Varnadoe's uncle Thomas was sent to the Florida School for Boys in the 1930s and died there a month later. Varnadoe wants to exhume his uncle for burial at the family's cemetery near Lakeland. During a visit to Dozier School in the 1990s, a staff member showed him where his uncle might be buried. That location was not the same as the area where the most recent graves were found, and the state limited the USF team to searching the existing cemetery grounds.[34] When the state announced plans to sell much of the Dozier property, Varnadoe filed suit and a judge issued a temporary injunction blocking the sale until Thomas Varnadoe's body was exhumed. State officials subsequently granted the university team permission to search all areas of the former facility for possible burial sites[34] and requested federal funds to pay for a forensic examination of all graves on the grounds.[36]
On August 6, 2013, Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet issued a permit allowing University of South Florida anthropologists and archaeologists to excavate and examine the remains of any and all boys buried at the Dozier site.[37] Exhumations began on August 31; according to an Associated Press report:[38]
Robert Straley, a spokesman for the White House Boys, said the school segregated white and black inmates and that the remains are located where black inmates were held. He suspects there is another white cemetery that hasn't been discovered. "I think that there are at least 100 more bodies up there," he said. "At some point they are going to find more bodies, I'm dead certain of that. There has to be a white graveyard on the white side."
Bones, teeth and artifacts from grave sites were sent to the University of North Texas Health Science Center for DNA testing. In January 2014 the University of South Florida announced that excavations have yielded remains of 55 bodies, almost twice the number official records say are there.[39][40]

We love hearing from our Alumni and want to hear your success stories since graduating from Landmark. Email your story to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alumni Success
Nearly nine of every ten students who graduate from our competitive curriculum go on to pursue bachelor's degrees at colleges nationwide.
Our alumni are creating their tomorrows. And yours.
There's a world of opportunity for creative people, and graduates from Landmark College are making an impact all over the world. You can read their stories here, to become inspired to create your tomorrow!
Listen to Our Story
One of Landmark Colleges longest and most powerful traditions is hearing our graduates speak as they cross our stage.
Met and Married
Over the years, we have heard of an overwhelming number of alumni finding their "partner for life" because of Landmark College. But Doug and Kristin Killin could officially be our first Landmark College Alumni Couple.
Doug and Kristin met when the doors first opened at Landmark College in 1985. At their graduation, both received the President's Award, recognizing them as students who had best exemplified the College's guiding principles. Together they left Landmark in June 1987 and attended Seattle Pacific University. Kristin earned a BA in History from Seattle Pacific but Doug returned to Landmark as a Resident Dean and earned a degree at Keene State College. Doug later earned a Master's in Education at the University of San Francisco. They married October 30, 1993. Today, they live happily in San Jose, California, with their three children.
Alumna Success Motivates New Students During Convocation
Andrea B. Tolliver earned her Associate of Arts from Landmark College in 2000. She then went on to receive her Bachelor of Arts in art education from Manhattanville College, and her Master of Professional Studies with a concentration in special education from Manhattan College of New York in May of 2012. In the fall of 2012, Andrea began in her role as an assistant middle school teacher at the Windward School in White Plains, New York, an independent, co-ed day school focused exclusively on helping students in grades 1-9 with language-based learning disabilities.
Landmark Alumna Meghan Benzel Has Come Back To Serve
"I firmly believe that service comes before self, and I look forward to strengthening the communities in which I serve," she says. Ms. Benzel's work as an AmeriCorps volunteer has taken her into neighborhoods devastated by Hurricane Katrina, and more recently, Superstorm Sandy She has worked with at-risk youth impacted and influenced by gang violence in northern California.
Even during her time at Landmark College, Ms. Benzel served as a resident assistant.
And she recently returned to campus as a member of the SerVermont VISTA Volunteer for Windham County. Since starting her VISTA work here at Landmark College, Meghan has organized many valuable events and programs. Her work is based on The Putney Student Corps consists of students from Landmark College, The Greenwood School, The Grammar School, Putney Central School, and The Putney School. The work that she has done has restored connections with Landmark College and the Putney community.
Landmark Alumna Graduates BA with Summa Cum Laude
Landmark Alumna Stephanie V. Strauss Graduates Summa Cum Laude from University of Colorado, Boulder
Stephanie V. Strauss, who attended Landmark College from Fall 2006 to Spring 2007, graduated in May, 2011 from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities (with a primary concentration in Art History and a secondary concentration in Intercultural Conflict). She graduated with the distinction of summa cum laude. UC-Boulder awards Latin honors (of which summa cum laude is the highest) based on GPA, academic standing and Senior Honors thesis.
Stephanie's thesis was "To Paint in the Age of Technological Reproducibility: Presentation in Gerhard Richter's Blurred Paintings."
An Alum Expands His Horizons On Study Abroad
1) How did you learn about the course?
In early spring 2013, after connecting with the Alumni Relations Office, I was excited to learn about the new opportunity for alumni to continue the Landmark experience through study abroad. I was ecstatic! I had meant to take advantage of the opportunity while I was at Landmark, but due to a self-inflicted heavy course load, I was never able to fit it in. It saddened me because I had hoped to go on study aboard before I left but just figured I'd wait until my next college to travel abroad." After going over various options, I settled on the trip to the U.K. taught by Professors Lucy Stamp and Dan Miller, with the course focus being Travel Writing.
We welcome your suggestions about ways our office can assist you.

Raw Corn Tortillas
Soft, wholesome tortillas offer a raw twist on a Mexican staple.
Serves 4
These savory tortillas from Choosing Raw's Gena Hamshaw are a versatile addition to your raw repertoire. Stuff them with guacamole and salsa for a satisfying uncooked burrito, or wrap them around your favorite plant-based toppings—the possibilities are endless!
What You Need:
3 cups raw corn kernels, removed from corn cob
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup, plus 1 tablespoon flax meal
4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
6 sundried tomatoes
2 tablespoons water
1 red bell pepper, chopped
What You Do:
- In a food processor, process corn, paprika, salt, flax meal, nutritional yeast, sundried tomatoes, and water until smooth, adding additional water if mixture is too thick. Add the red pepper and pulse to combine well.
- Onto two Teflex-lined dehydrator sheets, spread dough until 1/8-inch thick. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 3 to 4 hours, or until the top is firm to the touch. Flip tortillas by flipping Teflex over the tray, and then peeling it off the tortilla's bottom layer. Continue dehydrating for another hour and a half until tortillas are dry and pliable. Remove tortilla sheets from dehydrator, and place two small bowls on each sheet. Cut out a round shape with a knife. Tortillas should be 5-inches in diameter.

As years go, 2010 was a very big one in the world of bass fishing. Every area of the sport and industry was impacted in a significant and lasting way, from business to competition to conservation.
This year had it all. Here's a countdown of the top five stories from the year that's just ending. You may disagree with the order, but these stories stand head and shoulders above the rest of what happened in our sport in 2010.
5. EPA denies ban on lead tackle
Reese got back on track, finishing second in the final event. VanDam was even better, though, taking a first and sixth in the last two. Going into the postseason, Reese had what seemed like a fairly comfortable lead while VanDam was sixth — well back and with lots of other anglers to pass. But he did pass them, winning his third straight AOY title (tying Roland Martin for most consecutive) and his sixth overall (second to Martin's nine). Reese slipped to third in the AOY race despite a remarkable season.
3. And Lay Lake makes three
2. B.A.S.S. sold!
The new owners, Don Logan, Jerry McKinnis and Jim Copeland, are all lifelong anglers with a commitment to growing the sport.
Logan is a former CEO and chairman of Time Inc., the largest publishing company in the United States. For three years, he was chairman of Time Warner's Media and Communication Group, overseeing America Online, Time Inc. and Time Warner Cable.
McKinnis is well known to bass anglers everywhere. His television program, The Fishin' Hole, was a leader in outdoor programming and was one of ESPN's longest-running programs.
Copeland is a former CEO of Deloitte, the world's largest financial services company. In addition, he serves on the board of directors of several Fortune 500 companies.
1. A new world record
After all, virtually every one of the spots on the Bassmaster Top 25 list was held by a Golden State lunker. At least they did until July 2, 2009. That's when Manabu Kurita landed a bass weighing a shade under 22-5 from Japan's Lake Biwa. It was the catch heard round the world, and bass media everywhere scrambled to get scraps of the story.
At first, rumors of Kurita's catch coming from an off-limits area persisted, but a thorough examination by the International Game Fish Association (including a polygraph test of Kurita) cleared the angler. In January, his catch was certified as a tie for the all-tackle world record in the largemouth bass category (IGFA rules require that an applicant exceed the current record by 2 ounces to be certified as a new record).

For the record: I had SUCH a hard time with the BB challenge. That ugly dude was haunting me for weeks. I didn't want to deal with that grief again.
However, this new challenge IS making me happy. I can do crystals and pearls because I already bought SO much and my stash is full of it. -

On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:46 pm #
Julie Shane says:Asia! Ignore them. They have been drinking way too much bubbly stuff and it's not even close to midnight!
Seriously: It does not have to be ALL crystals. Officially it doesn't even have to be crystals at all I guess. It just has to sparkle and shine. You can do that with silver, with faceted stones, many of the Czech beads. Just a LITTLE bit of crystal does go a long way. Maybe just ONE focal bead. Or sometimes I use the little ones as spacers between larger genstones. It's still all about design and color and texture. Right???
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:08 pm #

Chris Daughtry says he wasn't trying to "diss" or "bite" 'American Idol'
By Christopher Rocchio, 01/18/2008
Chris Daughtry
was apparently "just being honest" and feels fans didn't hear the whole story when he said
American Idol
is "
definitely in decline
"It's so sad that when you're asked something and you answer honestly....you're made out to be the bad guy," Daughtry posted Monday evening on his official website blog. "I was never trying to 'DISS' the show or 'BITE THE HAND THAT FED ME' so to speak. I was simply giving my input on what I think would spice the show up a bit. Sorry for being honest."
During an interview with
Rolling Stone
that was published Monday morning, the former
American Idol
fifth-season finalist seemingly gave the show a thorough bashing, stating
is "definitely lacking some credibility at this point," is "in a state of decline," and that it should "find some people that you can really invest in," among other things.

American Idol
apparently wasn't amused.
"I love Chris. I think he made an amazing record that he sold extremely well,"
judge Randy Jackson
Rolling Stone
in a subsequent Thursday report. "He's a testament to the fact that no matter where you finish on
-- even if you finish twelfth -- if you make a great record and you got that kind of exposure, the public will resoundingly buy it. But the bottom line is there would be no Chris Daughtry if there wasn't
American Idol
Similar comments presumably made their way back to Daughtry, and an
producer reportedly subsequently phoned
Rolling Stone
and claimed Daughtry had allegedly called the show to apologize and said that he was "misquoted or taken out of context."
In response,
Rolling Stone
attempted to defend itself by
a print transcript and the audio file of the interview on its website -- however all they seem to do is somewhat lend some credence to Daughtry's claim.
"So you don't think it is in decline? You think they just need to like rethink it a bit?" the
Rolling Stone
reporter -- the first person in the conversation to use the word "decline" -- asked Daughtry.
"Oh, I think it's definitely in decline," replied Daughtry.
"Oh, okay, okay, gotcha," answered the reporter.
"If they don't do something about it, it's probably not gonna last too much longer," said Daughtry. "And I'm sure that'll be used against me, but I'm just - that's the truth, you know? I feel like it's definitely lacking some credibility at this point."
"Yeah, I definitely agree with you," answers the reporter. "I mean, I watched last season, and like they all sucked. [Laughs] It was boring, you know?
"Yeah." replied Daughtry, who defended both his comments and the reporter in his blog posting.
"It all started when the interviewer (who was great by the way) asked me where the '
stigma everyone talks about' comes from," wrote Daughtry.
"Ya know.... the reason people never take anyone from the show serious in the real world and why people say 'oh they came from
, they're not real artists.' So, I answered that I don't feel that enough 'artists' try out for the show because of how many people they focus on that are obviously there for comedic and entertainment value. And when you focus enough on people that aren't serious about it then it's hard for the audience to take you as an artist serious. And it's also hard as a potential contestant to think it's a good way to get seen because you're afraid of being made a joke of."
Daughtry -- whose blog post is titled, "I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm..... Just Being and Honest!" and features a photo showing him shrugging -- also wrote that he also had some good things to say about
during the
Rolling Stone
"The funny thing is, if you heard the whole conversation you would've heard all the good things I said about the show as well," wrote Daughtry. "Like for instance: How it's an amazing platform to launch a career..... 'If you take it seriously!!!!' Let's not forget I was a struggling artist for 11 years that never got any respect or notoriety so know that I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity that
gave me. And that's where my comments came from."
Daughtry will no doubt have the opportunity to give
it's due credit, as his band Daughtry
three Grammy Award nominations.

Seton-La Salle too much for Jeannette
By Dave Mackall
Published: Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013, 9:24 p.m.
Jeannette's bus got caught in traffic on the way to North Hills High School on Tuesday, making the Jayhawks late for their WPIAL Class AA girls basketball semifinal against top-seeded Seton-La Salle.
The outcome of the game was not worth the wait.
Following a half-hour delay, Natalie Piaggesi scored 14 of her 17 points in the first quarter to set the pace for Seton-La Salle in a 73-38 rout of Jeannette that sent the Rebels to the WPIAL championship game.
The late start had no bearing on the outcome. Seton-La Salle simply outclassed yet another foe.
"That is a great team over there," Jeannette coach Luann Mills said. "They're at the top of the class. We couldn't get into any kind of offense against them, and that, in turn, affected our defense."
Nicolette Newman scored 14 points, and Naje Gibson added 10 for Seton-La Salle (24-1), which won its 17th consecutive game.
Jeannette was led by Ciara Gregory, the WPIAL's leading scorer, who finished with 27 points. The Jayhawks played without senior Monique Redman, the team's second-leading scorer, who was sidelined with an upper-body injury.
"She's our second-best ball-handler, too," Mills said.
"We knew coming into this game that it would probably be an issue for us."
Seton-La Salle, which built leads of 20-9 at the end of the first quarter, 42-16 at halftime and 65-29 after three, has outscored its opponents by an average of 35 points per game. First-year coach John Ashaolu said it hasn't been a distraction.
"Our practices have been a lot of fun," he said. "For me, that's more rewarding than the games. I like to teach and work with the girls. The games are for them."
When it was suggested that his team is perhaps a favorite to win WPIAL and PIAA titles, Ashaolu smiled and said: "We have work ahead of us, but those are the goals now. It's certainly big expectations."
Though Jeannette (17-7) saw its title hopes halted, Mills said the Jayhawks needn't feel so bad.
"We accomplished a lot," Mills said. "We won our fourth straight section title, and I'm proud of this group."
Gregory is the leader, averaging 32 points per game in her senior season. She is committed to Charlotte.
Things were so lopsided against the Jayhawks from the start that they needed Rachel Roth's jumper from the corner at the halftime buzzer just to cut the margin to 26 points.
After the teams emerged from their locker rooms following the game, Mills gathered her players in the school lobby while a bus awaited them outside.
"We're going to get on that bus and take (Interstate) 279," she said with a laugh. "We're a team and we're going home together as a team. It's been a good year."

Recent reviews:
January 15, 2014 - Love this watch. I have had it for over a year with no issues. Always get compliments when I wear it. The hands are a little flimsy and I was concerned when I received it, but all is well.
January 11, 2014 - Awesome watch, comfortable & keeps great time!. But ... after only wearing 5 times, the pink paint is coming off and it will look trashy in no time.
January 10, 2014 - I really like the watch. It could be just a tiny bit smaller to fit me better. I had a problem with the cats. They wanted to chew on the band. They apparently liked the feel of it on their gums. I went out and purchased a different band so they wouldn't continue to be obsessed with this watch. I would recommend purchasing this watch. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June so this watch is perfect for me right now.
December 9, 2013 - Very nice
October 13, 2013 - Love this watch...so light and comfortable. Perfect for Oct. and Breast Cancer month...feel happy wearing it!

The man accused of killing a 10-month-old and her grandmother, a crime that stunned the community, pleaded not guilty on Friday.
Raghunandan Yandamuri, 26, was in court this morning.
Investigators say he tried to kidnap Saanvi Venna in Upper Merion last year, but her 61-year-old grandmother tried to fight him off.
In a taped confession, recorded by Montgomery County detectives, Yandamuri admits to the crime but calls the murders "an accident."
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case.

Are we prone to mass hysteria here in the NW?
By Vanessa Romo
Everyone went a little crazy. Police were called, road blocks set up.
It's 1954, early spring, and tiny chips, pits and dings are popping up on car windshields throughout the Puget Sound region at an alarming rate. Suddenly, communities from Anacortes to Tacoma are in the grip of a textbook case of mass hysteria. (In fact, it is in the textbooks.)

Abstract: | As essential effectors in protein quality control, molecular chaperones serve as the primary checkpoint to assist proper protein folding, and prevent misfolded proteins from denaturation and aggregation. In addition, chaperones can function to direct terminally-misfolded proteins to the proteolytic system for degradation. Viruses rely on host cell machineries for productive infection. Like for many other processes, various viruses have been shown to evolve mechanisms to utilize or subvert the host protein quality control machinery to support the completion of their life cycle. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that some viruses encode for their own chaperone-like proteins to enhance their infectivity. This review summarizes the current understanding of the interplay between molecular chaperones and viral proteins, highlights the chaperone activities of a number of viral proteins, and discusses potential anti-viral therapeutic strategies targeting the virus-chaperone interactions.

Scary Chiefs Dress up for Halloween
By James Adkins ,
The Kansas City Chiefs are on a bye this week, so everyone within the organization should take the extra time off to enjoy their Halloween weekend.
Here are some costume ideas for the folks within the organization.
Please take a moment to leave a comment and vote for your favorite!
Here are the contestants:
1. K.C. Wolf
2. Jamaal Charles
3. Matt Cassel
4. Clark Hunt
5. Scott Pioli
6. Todd Haley
7. Lance Long
8. Derrick Johnson
9. Peter Schaffer (Larry Johnson's agent)
10. Larry Johnson
Being the Chiefs Mascot the last couple years has to be rough, and Wiley Coyote seems to be the perfect costume for K.C. these days.
K.C. plays second fiddle to Warpaint in the eyes of many Chiefs fans, much like Wiley is overshadowed by the Road Runner.
With recent developments at the running back position, Charles is out to prove he can be the Chiefs' superhero on the offensive side of the ball.
Much like Underdog, Charles is smaller and less intimidating than most of today's superhero running backs, but hopefully that will help him sneak up and punish opposing defenses the rest of the season.
If there's one thing Matt Cassel has proved to Chiefs fans this season, it's that he can get back up after being knocked down.
Hopefully, like Rocky Balboa was able to do, Cassel can at some point parlay the beatings he's taking into some victories. We won't get too greedy and ask for championship belts just yet.
Obviously, with the Chiefs struggling to win games in 2009, who better for Hunt to dress up as than Ronald Reagan?
Maybe, just maybe, Hunt can walk into the locker room in the coming weeks and ask his players to "win one for The Gipper."
Of course as young as this team is, with many of the players not even born until after Reagan left the White House, they may actually think Hunt is The Gipper.
With as much turnover as there has been on this roster, plus the situation with Larry Johnson, Pioli is this team's Donald Trump.
And with a need for more talent at virtually every position on the roster, Pioli could probably get away with wearing this costume for quite some time. Don't be surprised if he's saying "You're Fired!" a lot over the course of the next several months.
It's obvious this Chiefs team doesn't have the talent of the best teams in the NFL right now.
That said, it's imperative that Haley develop a strategy and motivational technique to suit this group of players.
Who better for Haley to impersonate on Halloween than Bill Murray's character from the movie Meatballs, Tripper Harrison?
In the movie, "Trip" led a rag-tag group from Camp North Star against the uber-athletic Camp Mohawk in the annual Olympiad. Totally outmatched, Trip was able to strategically pick his battles and put his camp's fortunes on the back of their best athlete, Rudy "the Rabbit," who Trip had taken under his wing and groomed into a champion cross-country runner.
Who knows, maybe Haley can take something out of Trip's playbook, and get some wins behind Matt Cassel, Dwayne Bowe, and company.
Before last week's loss to the San Diego Chargers, it was a safe bet that not many Chiefs fans knew who Lance Long was.
Long, an undrafted wide receiver out Mississippi State who Haley grabbed from the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, is the Chiefs' version of Rudy Ruettiger.
Long, like Sean Astin's character in the movie, is small and makes plays in spite of his natural abilities. He's not fast, or big, or has the best hands on the team, but he has the biggest heart and works harder than anyone else.
He also scares the heck out of you when you see him get hit by bigger, faster, stronger defensive players.
Not that long ago, most people close to the team would tell you that Derrick Johnson is the most naturally gifted player on the Chiefs' defense.
It would be difficult to make that comment today, because Johnson rarely makes it on the field anymore. The Chiefs' "Invisible Man" shows flashes when he plays, but apparently he still isn't doing it consistently enough for Haley.
Schaffer, the agent for running back Larry Johnson, has a lot in common with the fictional Jerry McGuire.
He believes in honesty and ethics as an agent, and shows disdain for the questionable tactics of someone like super-agent Drew Rosenhaus.
Schaffer has his hands full with the troubled Johnson, much like McGuire had his hands full with the enigmatic Rod Tidwell.
Like McGuire, Schaffer is probably pulling his hair out right now because of Johnson's recent antics. Antics that will likely spark a McGuire-esque effort to find Johnson a new team, but that will have to wait until Schaffer can negotiate an amicable split with a fed-up Chiefs organization.
Fred Phelps, like Johnson this past week, shows a fondness for using a particular three-letter gay slur to show his disdain for people he doesn't like.
Also like Johnson, Phelps's list of people he doesn't like is basically everyone he's not related to.
Phelps, who preaches hatred of seemingly everyone, also makes a habit of embarrassing residents of the city of Topeka, who are ashamed of the fact that Phelps makes his home there.
Aside from the fact that these two guys would likely hate each other, probably because they're so much alike, it only seems natural for Johnson to don a white cowboy hat and impersonate Phelps this Halloween.
To that end, don't be surprised if you don't see Phelps wearing a red 27 jersey at his next Gay Hate rally in a town near you.
Happy Halloween everyone!

It's so funny that I'm in America but cannot find crew-neck wool sweaters at an affordable price. I happened to see woolovers Britain online and bought some for a trial. I should say they are true as shown on the website in any way. It's just somewhat different than my expectation in terms of warmth. All wool sweaters are very light and thin, even the British wool sweater which looks so warm have many "holes" in it though it's much heavier than the common wool sweaters.
But that's nobody's fault, I should say.
Another thing is I cannot find the production place on all labels.
I bought two sweaters only different in color but they turned out to be different quality, too. One ordinary, the other more soft like cotton or cashmere. No idea why.
On the whole, considering the price, they are all worth it.
