The Jets needed a big, fast receiver who could stretch the field on the outside, and they got one by trading up with Seattle to select Georgia Tech's Stephen Hill, a workout warrior with questions about his experience.
With Plaxico Burress, a top red-zone target, not returning to the team, finding another Braylon Edwards was key for the Jets. Chaz Schilens has been injury-prone, and the depth at receiver was lacking. Like their first pick, Quinton Coples, the Jets are taking a big swing by going after Hill, a boom-or-bust talent.
Hill tore up the Combine with a 4.31 40-yard dash. At 6-4, 215, he has the size to line up on the outside and blow the top off a defense, but there are serious questions about his experience. Playing in a triple-option offense, Hill had only 28 catches last season — but he had 820 yards receiving, a whopping 29.3 yards a catch.
Hill has good leaping ability, something that should make QB Mark Sanchez happy, as the signalcaller has been known to overthrow his targets at times. Tony Sparano's ground-and-pound offense needs a vertical threat, as the run is designed to set up deep passes, and the Jets hope Hill can be the target who can complement Santonio Holmes.
A raw player, Hill will need some good coaching and strength development to live up to his potential. His experience as a run blocker should be an asset to a Jets team that will run more than pass next season.
Jets fans should be excited about Hill's high ceiling. The team's first two picks have plenty of physical tools to become impressive NFL players. For Coples, he needs to show the work ethic to fulfill it, and Hill needs to get more experience.
This was a nice move by GM Mike Tannenbaum, who is no stranger to trading up, to go get Hill, who fits exactly what the Jets' offense needs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- St. Matthews Police say a shoplifter decided to try on his stolen goods -- and in the process, he ruined the pants.
According to an arrest report, police were called to Mall St. Matthews Friday evening on a report of a man who had stolen two pairs of pants and three shirts from JCPenny. Police say 24-year-old Antwain S. Keys shoved a store security employee out of the way and ran out of the store.
Police, along with store security employees, allegedly chased Keys east toward Oxmoor Mall, yelling for him to stop.
He was wearing some of the merchandise, according to the arrest report.
Police say they had to chase Keys through a thick, wooded area and across two creeks before he was caught.
When the police officer caught up with Keys, store security already had him in cuffs.
Police say the stolen merchandise was "destroyed and unusable, due to being chased through mud, woods and creeks."
Keys was arrested and charged with robbery and criminal mischief.

Best Costa Rica Vacation Locations
The Northern Pacific region welcomes tourists with traditional demonstrations and those from folklore, with bull riding a popular one. Enjoy the wide variety and numerous beaches of white or gray sand, with various degrees of surf quality. Photography is a very common activity that captures the full range of landscape including caves, dry forests, and volcanoes. Guanacaste vacation rentals are conveniently located near superior dive sites, and the local sportfishing not only caters to casual vacationers, but there also are a number of record-breaking tournaments held.
Central Pacific has accessible beaches and two main towns for vacationers: Puntarenas, Jacó and Quepos. Try the very fresh seafood of various types here: wahoo, lobster, tuna, and shrimp. Enjoy the surfing with especially good breaks on the coastline of Jacó. Manuel Antonio is an incredible park with a tropical forest, beaches, and spectacular Costa Rican wildlife. Quepos is famous for its fishing opportunities to catch marlin and sailfish. Bask in the sun on the attractive beaches of Puntarenas.
An extremely wide array of biological life exists in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica, whose best time to visit (without the rain) is between January and April. Corcovado National Park is home to some types of flora not found at other locations, and hundreds of birds, amphibians, and mammals. The beaches found in this region are more desolate and secret, and the coast is great for surfing, being home to the famous break called Pavones.
San José, located in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica, is a very modern capital city with a dash of traditional architecture. You'll find a number of fine quality museums, even some dedicating themselves to a particular material, namely the Gold and Jade Museums. Near San Jose, the magnificent cathedral Catedral de Alajuela is made from marble and built in 1854. More history can be found in the town of Cartago, near to the capital, established in 1563. There are many restaurants to enjoy in San José as well.
The Northern Zone is amazingly blessed with six hundred bird species, so birdwatching is a completely natural activity. You'll find a terrain mixed between forest and hills, with a remarkable lake name Lake Arenal. Lake Arenal is a man-made lake with fast wind speeds, making it ideal for windsurfing. Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge exists in the low-lying northern plains, and access to the refuge is either by road or boat depending on the season. Monteverde is the mountain region of the north whose main tourist draw is the nature and sporting adventures, but a cultural draw remains with the Quaker community. Arenal Volcano height goes up to 1 mile above sea level and is not a dormant volcano; rather it produces ash and smoke, and red lava can best be seen in the nighttime. Santa Elena is a mountain community that has characteristics of both rural and city, and offers tourist services.
The Caribbean region really stands out with its own culture and wonderful attractions. Along with the beaches (in the north part of the region, having dark sand), there is a vast ecological diversity and a vast landscape. Limón is a haven for artists and musicians, and stages an extremely popular carnival in all of Central America. All sorts of sports are possible in this friendly area, from turtle watching to sea kayaking.

Former number one middleweight (185 pounds) contender Nate Marquardt is set to make his welterweight (170 pounds) debut this weekend (Sun., June 26, 2011) when he takes on Rick Story in the UFC on Versus 4 main event from the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Marquardt, 32, is a 12-year mixed martial arts veteran, taking on several of the best fighters the sport has to offer during a 43-fight span. He was the first-ever middleweight King of Pancrase way back in 2000 and worked his way up the ranks to a title shot against UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva in 2007.
The bout with Silva ended miserably for Marquardt, who was dropped with a punch in the first round and finished shortly thereafter by the lethal Brazilian. It's been a long road to try and earn a rematch. Just when it appeared he was one fight away, twice, he dropped pivotal decisions to eventual title challengers Chael Sonnen and Yushin Okami, respectively.
He's subsequently been branded a "choker" by UFC President Dana White, which is perhaps also among the many reasons behind his odd decision to shed 15 pounds off an already chiseled 6' frame. He needs to get over the hump, make another title run and wrap a belt around his waste before tying a ribbon around an illustrious career.
And he feels his best chances of accomplishing that goal reside in the welterweight division.
So as Marquardt embarks on the latest chapter of his "Story," we are once again going to travel back in time to look at the best and worst career-defining moments to date for "The Great."

The new owner of the Field of Dreams announced Thursday morning the Ghost Players are returning this summer to the field.
Go the Distance Baseball president and CEO Denise Stillman addressed those at the Dubuque Convention and Visitors Bureau's Annual Hospitality Breakfast. In an announcement complete with the appearance of several ghost players, she told the crowd the guys are coming home.
"From the beginning, I knew the Ghosts needed to be back at the field, and it just had to be the right, the right place," Stillman said. "When you think of the movie, you think of the ghosts going into the corn, and if there's no ghosts coming out of the corn, some of the magic isn't there."
The ghosts haven't appeared on the field since 2007. Ghost Player Hank Lucas said he and his fellow ghosts are excited to return.
"Well, it's just like the movie is, you know, the Field of Dreams," he said. "The son gets his second chance with his dad just to play simple catch and all that kind of stuff. Well, this is going to be our second chance, too."
The Ghost Players will make their first appearance Sunday, July 7 and appear on the field every other Sunday thereafter, through September.
Go the Distance Baseball is preserving the original Field of Dreams movie site while building a 24-field youth baseball and softball tournament complex next to it, called All-Star Ballpark Heaven. Stillman said she and other developers expect to break ground this summer, hopefully in June. The 24 fields will be built in a two-phase process, with just 12 of the fields coming in the first phase.

DANVILLE — The Tri-West boys' basketball team's season came to an end in its sectional opener against a hot Northwest team.
Winners of nine straight games, the Space Pioneers defeated the Bruins 86-62 at Danville Community High School.
Seven Northwest players scored eight points or more, including five in double digits, as Tri-West had trouble keeping up.
"Their athleticism from the beginning of their bench to the bottom of the bench is probably just as good as almost anybody in the state, not even let alone (Class) 3A," Tri-West coach Adam Bontreger said. "They are an extremely talented team, extremely athletic group and when they are hitting outside shots the way they were hitting it's really difficult for us to stay in a ball game like that."
The Bruins trailed only 14-11 after the first quarter before the Space Pioneers took off.
Northwest made five of its seven 3-pointers in the second quarter and led 41-23 at halftime. Tri-West played a 2-3 zone and was hopeful to catch the skilled team on an off night shooting.
"It's hard to defend them in the man-to-man situation because of their quickness, athleticism, and ability to break us down 1-on-1," Bontreger said. "We had to rely on our zone and when teams are shooting the way they were shooting it, it's going to be hard to beat anybody on a given night."
Tri-West cut the lead to 13 in the third quarter after a Kyle Stamm layup, but it was as close as the Bruins would get in the second half. While they were unable to mount a comeback, the effort never wavered for Tri-West.
"That's who we are as a basketball program. We are built on hard work. That's what we are all about and playing with passion. Our community has been supportive of us all year," Bontreger said. "Tonight we wanted to remind our kids what it meant to play hard and play with pride down the stretch."
Sophomore Trevor Waite led Tri-West with 20 points and sophomore Jake Hendershot added 11 points. Stamm came off the bench to score 12 points in his final game as a Bruin.
Bontreger praised all five of his seniors after the game, a group that started with him in the program four years ago when he became Tri-West's head coach.
Mitch Alexander was praised for being a vocal leader and "the type of kid you want in your program because of his toughness, his mental toughness, and his will and desire to win."
Sam Koelling was commended for his three-point shooting, leadership as a captain, and as someone who will be hard to replace.
Bontreger felt that Stamm had been huge at the end of the season for the Bruins and was playing his best basketball of his entire life.
Nick Phelps and Dustin Burks were the final two seniors that Bontreger complimented. Phelps for his energy and spark off the bench and Burks for sticking with the sport and starting the majority the season.
"For five of those guys to stick it out through four years of our practices and four years of at times ups and downs, I thought our leadership was much improved just because of our seniors," Bontreger said. "Each one had a different story to tell, each one had a different role on our team, and that's what makes up good programs when you have good leadership from the top."

Liquid Computing partners on database research
Liquid Computing announced last week that it has been working since January with Dalhousie University's Faculty of Computer Science in Nova Scotia to advance the state of the art in parallel processing for very large databases:
The partnership project…has already demonstrated the dramatic performance advantages of applying new computing architectures to data warehousing problems.
…"We chose to partner with Liquid Computing on this project because it offers an opportunity to work with a unique next-generation computer architecture that offers new paths to improve the performance of data warehousing algorithms," said Andrew Rau-Chaplin, Parallel Data Mining and OLAP Project Lead and Professor of Computer Science at Dalhousie. …"We are seeing incredible performance from the LiquidIQ system and initial results indicate a 2 to 3 times improvement in performance metrics."

New York Times Deals Another Blow to Benghazi Truthers
The Innocence of Muslims was a factor in the attack; Al Qaeda wasn't.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
The Innocence of Muslims was a factor in the attack; Al Qaeda wasn't.
That's the good news. The bad news ...
Over the U.S. raid that captured an Al Qaeda suspect.
Security at the compound was "grossly inadequate."
"How is this her fault? The intelligence community is telling her what she is allowed to say in public."
That's the plan, at least.
As information about what happened in Benghazi continues to emerge.
It was a strawberry frappe, not mango juice.
"Can you say that a little louder, Candy?"
Harry Truman's famous saying didn't mean that the president is responsible for everything that happens.
She wants to avoid "some kind of political gotcha or blame game."
Unfortunately, it's too late.
That conclusion was made by "others," officials say now.
Is insisting "it's the economy" stupid?
Nor did they mention that they had it.
After a brief calm, violence is again raging across the Middle East.

PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer issued a declaration of emergency Monday after a wildfire killed 19 firefighters and forced the evacuation of Yarnell, Ariz.
The declaration frees $200,000 from Arizona's general fund that can be used for emergency response and recovery efforts. The declaration also allows the mobilization of the Arizona National Guard.
The Yarnell Hill Fire has burned about 8,300 acres near Prescott, Ariz. Estimates said about 200 homes in Yarnell were destroyed.
For volunteer, fundraising and other ways to assist those affected by the Yarnell Hill Fire, go to yarnellfallenfirefighters.com.

Baby p's law
This child should not have died. Social workers are unable to do their job properly because they are over stretched and rushed. The social worker that handled this case was dealing with 50 percent more child protection cases than the supposed maximum. The question we should all be asking ourselves, is how, in this day and age did something like this happen. This petition is to call for a radical change in the law and regulations that are meant to keep our children safe, and to support the overloaded and under funded conditions that social workers have to work in. We cannot bring baby p back, but we can all join together and unite to stop anything like this happening again.

It was a distracted driver whose , according to preliminary indications of a Minnesota State Patrol investigation.
The state patrol report Friday said Alsaady was outside his semi trailer truck checking a blown tire on the shoulder of southbound I-35W in Richfield Friday evening when a car drifted right, hitting him and his truck. State Patrol identified the driver as Joselyn L. Racine, 21, of St. Paul.
Lt. Eric Roeske of the state patrol confirmed that by e-mail Sunday, adding:
"The driver was not arrested at the scene. Once the investigation is complete the case will be forwarded to the county attorney to review for any possible felony charges, if no felony charges are filed it will be sent to the city attorney to review for misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charges."
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office released a report Saturday stating that Alsaady, 51, died at 6:59 p.m. Friday on southbound I-35W and 66th Street S. in Richfield "as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident" nine minutes earlier.
A public Facebook page for Hamed Alsaady of Fridley lists his workplace as Triple Crown Services, a trucking firm based in Indiana. Safety and human resources staff at the company had not returned messages as of Sunday morning.

Councillor in Thailand quits his role live on the airwaves
6:30am Thursday 6th February 2014 in News
A COUNCILLOR who continued to claim his council allowance despite moving to Thailand yesterday quit his post.
West Oxfordshire District Council's Steve Hayward resigned live on air while being interviewed by BBC Radio Oxford.
On Wednesday, the Oxford Mail revealed he is still getting a £4,350 a year allowance despite moving to Thailand.
The Conservative said he could still represent his Ducklington ward despite living 8,500 miles away.
But after being asked to resign by the presenter and a listener who called in, Mr Hayward said: "I shall contact the officer straight away.
"I will forward it as soon as possible, but if I resign the people of Ducklington will not have a councillor."
The former Mayor of Witney is involved in running two bars in Thailand.
He said he could still correspond with constituents by email and Skype and was prepared to come back to West Oxfordshire if needed at a meeting.
Since moving to Thailand Mr Hayward has attended one meeting – a cabinet meeting in November.
A council spokesman last night said the authority had received no official notification of his resignation from Mr Hayward.

It's almost beyond belief that the Conservatives group on WODC thought this man competent enough to chair a council committee.

I've just listened to the BBC Radio Oxford interview with Steve Hayward. He tried to justify himself but ended up in a pathetic mess of of coherence. If he has any self-respect, he will resign immediately. The interviewer, Malcolm Boyden, asked a few simple questions and sat back as Hayward made an utter fool of himself.

HOUSTON – A woman was charged with two felonies after an officer stopped her for driving on the wrong side of the road Tuesday in the 200 block of Highway 90 A in Richmond, police said.
Shortly after midnight a Richmond police officer pulled over Pamela Kay Charbula, 50, of Inez, Texas after she almost struck a Rosenberg police unit head on as she was driving on the wrong side of the road coming into Richmond from Houston, police said.
Police said Charbula had been drinking prior to the stop and further investigation revealed that she had just purchased one pound of marijuana, which was located in her vehicle.
Charbula was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, and possession of marijuana. She was transported to the Fort Bend County Jail where she was awaiting bond.
