Mobile phone mast-in-a-chip biz sells out for $50m
Mindspeed Technologies has agreed to buy UK femtocell leader Picochip for £33.4m ($51.9m), with more than half of that in cash, to help it jump into the burgeoning femtocell business. Picochip employs about 150 people, most of them at its Bath offices, and leads the world in squeezing femtocell technologies into single chips. …
Wish I could buy one
I'd really like to be able to buy one to improve the coverage around my home.
Alas, only Vodafone supply them.
Really not sure why the operators and GSMA haven't got it sorted so that I can buy one that just allows me to select the network and it'll do all the integration.
This may help
These chaps sell a booster product:
I've got a vodafone one, works OK, but takes ages (days!) to set itself up,
They need to fix that issue before they become mainstream
While I would like better coverage at home...
...I don't know why I should pay Vodafone to cover their blackspots. Especially when they show the area as fine on their coverage maps.
If they were available on other networks too, I'm sure the end user's price might come down, or even pay for using my broadband's bandwidth for their network.
Mast on a chip
Are you sure, normally they are big and made out of galvanised steel. No all the stuff in the box at the bottom...
Re: Mast on a chip
Apologies: Mobile phone mast controller-in-a-chip wasn't really going to fit as a headline.
Given the company raised $100M in VC but sold for, at most, $50M it seems unlikely that the investors are really "happy with their position". Or perhaps losing only half your money is a Win these days?
They've raised more than $100m in VC cash, but have also sold a lot of licences for their chip designs in the last few years since then so while we don't have accounts for the company it would be wrong to assume it's still burning VC cash.
The staff we spoke to were all pretty pleased with the result, the ones who had shareholdings at least.

Louisiana State Police are investigating a crash that happened just after 7 a.m. Monday that took the life of a 22-year-old Walker, LA resident.
The crash happened on LA 443 about a half mile north of U.S. 190 in Tangipahoa Parish.
The initial investigation showed Christopher Kelley was driving his motorcycle southbound on LA 443 when a 1999 Cadillac Escalade, traveling north, made a left turn onto Magazine Street directly into the path of Kelley's bike.
A report from state police says as the Cadillac turned across the southbound lane of the highway, it was
impacted on its right rear side by the motorcycle. After impact, Kelly
and the motorcycle fell onto its side and continued in a southerly direction
before coming to rest on the northbound shoulder of LA 443.
Kelly was wearing a DOT certified helmet at the time of the crash and was
transported to North Oaks Medical Center where he later died.
The driver of the Cadillac, 49 year old Linda Atkins of Hammond, LA, was
wearing a seatbelt and was not injured in the crash. She was subsequently
booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on charges of failure to yield while turning left and negligent homicide.
Driver impairment is not suspected for either driver pending toxicology
examinations at the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab.
Troopers are continuing their investigation; however, driver inattention is
suspected to be the primary factor leading to the events of the crash.
While the dangers of impaired driving and other aggressive driving
behaviors are well documented, driver distraction is quickly becoming one of
the largest contributing factors in motor vehicle crashes across the country.
Distracted driving is any non-driving activity a person engages in that
has the potential to distract him or her from the primary task of driving and
increase the risk of crashing. While distracted driving comes in many
forms, from texting and talking on a cell phone, to eating, or simply playing
with the radio, the result is often the same.
Troopers urge the public to remain vigilant while driving and avoid distracting
activities, especially electronic devices. To report distracted drivers
or other hazardous road conditions, motorists can dial *LSP (*577) from your
cellular phone to reach the State Police office closest to you.

Product review: The sweetest wireless LAN system
Ruckus Wireless' ZoneFlex Smart WLAN System is powerful, easy, and yes, smart, making managed wireless networks a no-brainer for small deploymentsFollow @infoworld
Small businesses have, for some time, been able to easily deploy a wide-open access point or two, or put together a couple of access points with a basic level of security. The thing that hasn't been easily available is a small, secure, managed wireless network that's easy to deploy and administer, and priced for the needs of a smaller business. Now there is such a thing, and its existence does a good job of highlighting what we've been missing. The solution is the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Smart WLAN System, and it is a very good thing, indeed, for the SMB wireless market.
Ruckus Wireless uses three components -- access point, controller, and optional wireless bridge -- to build its network. The management console isn't separate, but built into the controller; you reach the controller through a Web interface discovered via network plug and play. I found that I could set up a single secure network in less than five minutes, and establish more complex networks (say, one for guests who get the password from an authentication Web site or a receptionist) in a few minutes more. While the system wouldn't hold up to configuring scores of access points scattered across multiple subnets, that's not the market Ruckus is trying to serve. The product is aimed squarely at SMB wireless LANs, and it's the best I've seen for the small-business market.
Three components
The three basic components of a Ruckus Wireless network each fill distinct roles. The ZoneFlex 2942 AP (starting at $349) is a "fat" AP, with enough intelligence to continue providing network access even if the link to the controller is lost. The ZoneFlex 2925 AP (starting at $259) is an access point with a small five-port switch in the base so that wired components can be linked to the network across a wireless link. The ZoneDirector central management console (starting at $1,200) brings easy configuration and management functions to the party, tying everything together into a coherent system.
An innocuous-looking off-white lump, the ZoneFlex 2942 AP is designed to blend into ceilings and walls without calling attention to itself. The AP can be powered by an AC adapter or through PoE, and the Ruckus engineer I spoke with said that many customers were using the PoE option to minimize the number of cables that had to be run through existing walls and ceilings.
One of the more impressive aspects of both the 2942 and 2925 access points is the use of MIMO (multiple-input/multiple-output) technology to maximize the usable range of the signal. You'll be hearing more about MIMO as 802.11n products begin to hit the market, but the main point to know now is that radio waves tend to bounce around inside rooms. The bounces mean that the same information will arrive at the receiver at slightly different times, owing to the different paths the signals have taken. To compensate, regular radios focus on one strong signal and filter out all others. A MIMO receiver can cope with multiple signals, allowing it to keep a working connection to a transmitter that might be a bit farther away. Using MIMO for an 802.11 b/g wireless access point is a forward-thinking move. Using it for an access point designed for the SMB market is impressive. In testing at my office, I found that a single Ruckus AP would easily provide solid coverage over a multiroom area that normally requires two APs to adequately cover.

Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco's frustration with a lack of opportunities in the passing game led to head coach Marvin Lewis benching him briefly in the Week Nine loss to Pittsburgh. "When you're playing that position, you can't dictate when the ball comes to you," Lewis said of Ochocinco, who caught just one pass and drew double coverage from Pittsburgh. "The coverage is going to dictate it, and the quarterback isn't going to throw the ball in the coverage, and sometimes it's frustrating." Even with Ochocinco sometimes drawing extra attention from opponents, he is not lacking for chances in the passing game. Through eight games, he had been targeted 76 times. However, teammate Terrell Owens had been targeted 99 times. QB Carson Palmer has not hesitated to look for Owens, who's running good routes, we're told, and he's consistently working open. Note that Ochocinco is on pace to be targeted about 152 times this season after having 128 passes thrown his way last season.

San Mateo County ranks third of all California counties in median household income, and Millbrae plays an interesting part in that.
Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks, a website that compiles American Community Survey data, has broken down every city in America by neighborhood and listed them all by average household income, and the results are quite interesting.
The site separates Millbrae into six sections — the six census tracts that divide the cities.
The wealthiest neighborhood of Millbrae is the area that includes Schultz Park and Hillcrest Boulevard, where the median household income is $105,750.
In contrast, the poorest area of the city is the northeast side of town along El Camino Real, including Lomita Park Elementary School, where the median household income is $59,028.
Middle class in California ranges between $53,000 to $67,000 according to the survey.

3.88/5 rDev +1.3%
Appearance: Cloudy orange gold with a quickly disappearing head and not much lacing. Quite a bit of carbonation.
Smell: Pine sap, floral hops, and citrus.
Taste: Pine and citrus hops, grainy malts in the background.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, very creamy. Hop bitterness in the finish, but not nearly as strong as I was expecting.
The Verdict: Pretty good. Full of hop character without the expected bitterness. It has a solid malt backbone to give it some balance.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into a DFH IPA glass. The bottle was stored in a fridge at roughly 45 degrees and purchased as soon as the beer released –drank within 2 months from bottling date. The pour is hazy dark amber in color, two finger carbonated head with cream color, the head sticks for a while until it subdues to a thin foamy crust that still covers the entire surface of the glass. As you drink the beer, the head leaves a short-lived patchy decorative lacing.
Initially, the aroma is a citrusy in-your-face smell that stings with zesty grapefruit and lime, behind it a honey aroma evolves as your senses pick up the spectrum of its flavors. After a few times smelling the brew, I get a very dank aroma consisting of papaya and mango – just as you would smell the basket of ripened fruit containing these at a farmer's market. The taste is a caramel sweet and fruity (mango, papaya and grapefruit) initially, leading to a very bitter finish that is not as hop-forward as I expected. In fact, to my surprise, there wasn't much of a hop presence which is uncharacteristic of PNW IPAs – doubtful if due to "bottled to drank" elapsed time but possible.
Mouthfeel is creamier than I would've thought – I expected this being a PNW IPA with 7% ABV it would be crisp and with more carbonation (let alone hoppier). The mouthfeel, in my opinion, makes the dankness and ripened fruit flavors more pronounced effectively minimizing the minute hop flavor.
Overall – I was not too impressed with this offering although it's not bad either. Not something I would seek out or buy again but at the same time I wouldn't shy away from it if offered.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. March 20, 2014 on the label.
A: Pours a mostly clear golden amber with a white head on top. Some visible floaties in stasis in this unfiltered ale. Average amount of visible carbonation. Leaves some lacing on the sides of the glass.
S: Fresh fruity citrus hop aroma on this one. A bit of malt sweetness makes up the backend. A touch of spiciness in there too. Quite pleasant.
T: Solid bitterness makes this a pleasant IPA. Not as much hop flavors as the aroma would lead you to believe but good dose. A grapefruit like citrus mixed with a sweeter fruit. Malts round out the backend with just enough to balance it out.
M: Medium to full body as its fairly thick from the wheat malts. Carbonation is low. Isn't too hot at all but gives a nice warming.
Overall its a nice IPA with a decent bitterness and hop flavor. Might not be something I would seek out again, but wouldnt turn down an offer to have one.

Appearance - Pours a somewhat hazy golden orange with a finger's worth of off-white head. Fair retention, resulting in a broken layer of surface suds. Leaves a fair amount of lacing around the glass with good stick.
Smell - Citrus notes with a bready undertone.
Taste - Follows the nose. Strong citrus flavor and a soft, slightly toasted bready malt backbone. Long lingering grapefruit pith bitterness in the aftertaste. Simple, but enjoyable.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full in body with moderate carbonation. Smooth, semi-dry finish.
Overall - A pretty good IPA by Widmer. Nothing mind blowing in originality, but points for execution. I wouldn't seek it out exclusively, but wouldn't be opposed to giving it another go.

A top free-agent signing by Cleveland last year, the defensive end is the first casualty of the team switching from a 4-3 to multi-front defensive scheme under first-year coach Rob Chudzinski. Rucker was due to make $2.5 million next season.||||||| Rucker made $6 million last season, when he started all 16 games and finished with 48 tackles and four sacks. Last week, Chudzinski and new defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who spent the past two seasons with Arizona, said the Browns hope to have an aggressive defense next season. Apparently, the 6-foot-3, 280-pound Rucker did not fit into their plans.
The Cleveland Browns have officially signed free agent defensive end Frostee Rucker, swiping him from the rival Cincinnati Bengals. Rucker agreed to terms on a five-year, $21 million contract Wednesday and signed his deal Thursday after passing a physical. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported the deal includes $8 million guaranteed.||||||| Rucker had his best season with Cincinnati in 2011, recording a career-high four sacks in 11 starts. He appeared in all 16 games in helping the Bengals make the AFC playoffs. Browns general manager Tom Heckert says Rucker is a player the team targeted in free agency. Heckert says he's excited to about adding Rucker to a young defensive front with end Jabaal Sheard and tackles Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor. The Bengals drafted Rucker in the third round in 2006.
The Bengals put Rucker on the injured reserve list Monday, another setback to a depleted defense.||||||| Rucker suffered a knee injury in Cincinnati's 23-17 loss to Indianapolis on Nov. 14 and was inactive against the Bills on Sunday.
The Bengals placed Rucker on injured reserve Monday because of a hamstring injury.||||||| Rucker had 23 total tackles and one sack in 11 games - four starts - this season.

Your Birth Experience
Once you have used the 5 Steps to a Healthy Birth to start thinking about your expectations for your birth, and you've examined your Prenatal Rights and Options, it is time to take a deeper look into the actual birth experience.
All the research you have been doing is so important in preparing for this big day. Now that you are empowered to choose conscientiously, you can plan for the big day and consider all the factors of care, support, and environment.
Set yourself up as best as you can to create the birth experience that you envision, but it is important to keep in mind that birth is unpredictable. Despite all your preparations, you must try to remain flexible about your birth so that you are not thrown off if things take an unexpected turn during labor and delivery.
How did that statement make you feel? If it triggered you, be honest with yourself. It is a good indication that there is probably something you need to explore in order to be able to surrender more fully to your birth.
Choose Your Birth Team
Choosing a maternity care provider is the single most important decision that you will make. Take the time to interview providers to ensure that you find the best possible match. Ask your provider many questions to make sure he/she supports and agrees with your personal birth philosophy (For some guidelines, see "Questions to Ask Your Provider"). You should feel confident that your provider is skilled AND that they will respect your wishes.
Trust your gut! Once you're in labor you won't be able to convince your care provider to go against their own birth philosophy and follow your wishes. This is an unrealistic and often disappointing expectation. Listen to your instincts NOW as to whether or not the provider is the right one for you.
Choose Your Birth Environment
Your personal philosophy and vision for your birth will help you determine the right birth environment. The vast majority of women in the United States birth in hospitals. While this is the dominant choice, it is not necessarily your only one. [read more]
It is impossible to predict ahead of time what each birth and labor will look like. Will it be long or short? Will it be intense or ecstatic? At this point, the most important things you can do are to research and educate yourself about your options. [read more]
We are fortunate to live in a country where the majority of women who need medical interventions during the birth process have access to them. But because no intervention comes without side effects, judicious discretion should be practiced when using interventions during birth. [read more]

NFL Game of the Week: Rams @ Vikings
Posted on Thu, Dec. 08, 2005
NFL game of the week
The Dallas Morning News
St. Louis (5-7) at Minnesota (7-5)
Minnesota should be thanked. The Vikings have provided us with countless hours of entertainment and entertainers with countless punch lines.
Any time you can work sex, boats and Lake Minnetonka into a routine, you've struck comedic gold.
Making fun of the Vikings is easy. But the notion that this team can make the playoffs is no longer a laughing matter.
Minnesota has won five consecutive games with a quarterback as old as Methuselah and an uncharacteristically competitive defense. There are bigger games in the NFL this weekend, but the Vikings' improbable playoff push bears watching.
"Our focus isn't on the wild card," said linebacker Keith Newman, one of four former Buffalo players who have helped transform the Vikings into a respectable defense. "Our focus is to win the NFC North."
Six teams will make the playoffs in the NFC. The Vikings are eighth. The New York Giants are the only team ahead of them that Minnesota has beaten. Losses to Tampa Bay, Carolina and Atlanta hurt the cause.
Catching Chicago, which owns a two-game lead over Minnesota in the division, is the easier playoff road to travel than trying to lock down one of the two wild- card spots.
"You can't let it take over your thinking because you have to concentrate on your next opponent," safety Darren Sharper said. "But in the back of your mind, you are thinking, `If this team loses, hopefully we can gain a game.'
"We always are watching Chicago to see if they have dropped a game or to see who they're playing."
The Bears are at Pittsburgh this weekend, one of three road games remaining for Chicago. The Vikings have three of their final four games at home, where they are 4-1. The Bears face the Vikings in the Metrodome on the final day of the regular season.
The central figure in the Vikings' unexpected rise in the standings is the quarterback.
Brad Johnson's career-winning percentage of .602 is the third best among active quarterbacks, trailing only Green Bay's Brett Favre and Indianapolis' Peyton Manning. He has taken three franchises to the playoffs and won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay.
Johnson, 37, hasn't been spectacular since taking over for the injured Daunte Culpepper. That's not his style. But he has been his solid self with eight touchdown passes and only two interceptions.
The veteran quarterback's insistence on checking down and dumping the pass underneath the coverage rather than challenge the defense deep has irritated coach Mike Tice at times. His affinity for the three-step drop and play-action pass has forced revisions in the offense and some struggles for the offensive line. But it's been worth it.
"He never really gets flustered," tight end Jermaine Wiggins said.
No joke.
"The thing is, we can control our own destiny if we continue to win," Sharper said. "That's something we haven't had around here in a while."

Re: NFL Game of the Week: Rams @ Vikings
St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 7, but is listed as probable and expected to play in Week 14. He is likely to only see limited reps Thursday, Dec. 8, as well. If he cannot go, the Rams would get a blast from the past with RB Marshall Faulk stepping in to carry the load.
Vikings RB Michael Bennett (ankle) practiced and is listed as probable for Week 14. Bennett, who dinged his ankle when he slipped on ice, is likely to play. RB Mewelde Moore (ankle) hurt his ankle last week and didn't see any production. He is not on the injury report this week and is likely to remain in the starting lineup.
LB Dexter Coakley, St. Louis Rams - Status: Placed on IR
The Associated Press reports St. Louis Rams LB Dexter Coakley (ankle, leg) will miss the rest of the 2005 season after dislocating his left ankle and breaking his leg during the Week 13 game. Interim head coach Joe Vitt said Coakley would have surgery as soon as Monday, Dec. 5.
Anyone who saw the position of Coakley's leg as he lay on the ground after injuring his ankle knew it was bad. His foot was simply not facing the proper direction - a good indicator that something is broken and/or dislocated (out of joint). Coakley was making a tackle during a running play in Week 13 and was rolled on from behind. Coakley's outer leg bone (fibula) snapped as it broke under the strain and the ligaments on the outside of his ankle were torn. Without the bony and ligamentous integrity preserved, the primary ankle bone (talus) is more easily separated (dislocated) from the leg bones (tibia and fibula), resulting in great pain. Surgery is typically required to stabilize the lower leg once again.
How unfortunate for a player who in his first seven years had only missed one start! The flip side is that without a prior injury history, Coakley's tissues should heal well. He underwent surgery Wednesday, Dec. 7, to have a metal plate inserted, which will assist the bone in repairing itself with a proper alignment. Typical post-operative management includes being casted and non-weight bearing for a few weeks, followed by placement in a walking boot to allow some weight through the ankle. Then begins the long road to restoring range of motion, strength and balance that can take in excess of six months. Unfortunately, the very nature of this type of injury makes Coakley's future uncertain. Post-injury stiffness is a more common complication, potentially making running and cutting difficult. Coakley should be ready to begin testing the ankle around training camp and his ability to return will be better gauged at that time.

Ecstasy of the People is the striking bolted arete just left of Enemy of the People and was originally climbed with a traversing start by Mark Rolofson. Now the direct start goes free as a V10 boulder problem, making the upper, balancy, 12d arete that much more insecure. The whole line is now one of the classic hard free routes in Boulder Canyon, so train small crimps and have at it.
9 bolts/anchors maybe a midsized stopper at the top (it's about twenty feet to the anchor from the last bolt).

With byes come fewer opportunities for pro football handicappers. These can be challenging weeks, but they all are in some form or fashion. Good opportunities still arise, though it some times takes a little more digging.
In the case of my first selection of the week, a little digging in the memory bank was key.
On to the picks:
Oakland (+6) at Houston
The Las Vegas Hilton, which posts the first Sunday-night lines in Las Vegas, initially installed Houston as seven-point favorites. Now, the consensus line sits with Houston favored by two field goals.
Call it "The Andre Johnson Effect." The Texans' star wideout is expected to miss multiple games, including Sunday's matchup with Oakland, with a hamstring injury.
I would imagine Johnson's absence could be a tipping point for those deciding whether to lay or take the points in this matchup. Certainly, it doesn't hurt Oakland's chances in this game.
But here's the thing: these clubs are meeting for the sixth consecutive season, and Johnson is slated to miss his third game vs. Oakland in this span. In the three games that Johnson has played, he has caught a grand total of five passes. Throw out a 62-yard reception in 2009, when Johnson beat Raiders CB Chris Johnson, and the Texans' star wideout has four catches for 32 yards in his last three games vs. Oakland.
I suppose you could call this "The Nnamdi Asomugha Effect."
Asomugha, of course, is no longer in Oakland. The Raiders are 22nd vs. the pass, but their run defense is much worse. Opponents are racking up 5.91 yards per carry vs. Oakland, worst in the league.
Can the Texans cope without Andre Johnson? It seems to me that the more pressing question when handicapping this matchup is whether Oakland will have any answer for Texans RB Arian Foster. The Texans, for what it is worth, have twice defeated the Raiders without Johnson, and they are 5-1 all-time vs. Oakland. All of those victories would have covered this spread. Considering the Texans now have a formidable defense to go with their potent offense, I'll gladly lay the points here.
Wilkening's pick: Houston
San Diego (-4) at Denver
If you like the Broncos, here's to hoping you were able to bet them when this line was a little higher earlier in the week. The Broncos' record (1-3) is ugly, but their form is not bad. I'm hardly going to hold a blowout loss at defending Super Bowl-champion Green Bay against them. Denver's other two losses were by a combined six points, and its Week Two win over Cincinnati caught my eye, considering how injuries limited the Broncos' options on offense and they still managed to win.
The Chargers have largely had a favorable early schedule, with home wins vs. the Vikings, Chiefs and Dolphins. I credit San Diego for taking care of business against weaker foes and for a solid effort in defeat at New England, but I suspect Denver will give the Chargers a tougher game than many expect. Broncos CB Champ Bailey returns to the lineup, and Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) looks likely to miss another game.
Wilkening's pick: Denver
Cincinnati (+2½) at Jacksonville
I'll take the points. Only the Rams are gaining fewer yards per play than the Jaguars, who are averaging a mere 9.8 points. Also, the Bengals' defense has allowed fewer yards than any other, which is impressive, considering the Bengals are just 20th in time of possession.
If the Bengals play a sound game, they could be tough to beat. QB Andy Dalton's play will be key. Rain and wind could be factors Sunday, making accuracy and prudence essential. I would have loved three points here, but I still believe there's some value at 2½, considering that the Bengals are the better team, in my view.
Wilkening's pick: Cincinnati
Arizona at Minnesota (O/U 45)
Both defenses are shaky vs. the pass, with Minnesota allowing 7.44 yards per completion and Arizona allowing 7.49 yards per completion. While both play the run fairly well, I can't see the Cardinals shutting down Adrian Peterson, nor do I see the Vikings stopping Beanie Wells for an entire game.
The more I've looked at this game, the more I believe it has sneaky shootout potential. Each club desperately needs a win, and each offense gets a favorable matchup.
Wilkening's pick: Over 45
Last week: 1-3
Season to date: 7-9

Shallow water, particularly along drop-offs, is also good popper territory. Connecticut River guide Blain Anderson fishes poppers on the flats, focusing on the edges, turns and bends that river herring seem to hug. Likewise, Gains — who fishes the Susquehanna Flats in the spring — uses poppers on the edges of ditches and sloughs in the flats, which are also areas that river herring frequent. Rip lines created by current and depth changes are also a good bet. "Stripers stage just before or after the rip, and crash the bait as it washes over the shallows," says Cape Cod guide Terry Nugent. Any shallow-breaking surf is a prime place to use poppers. During all the natural commotion in the surf zone, a popper works wonders getting noticed.
Popper Personality
What makes a good striper popper? "The more noise they make, the more attention they will garner," says Crescitelli, adding that "rattles help."
"The bigger the water, the larger and noisier the popper should be," says Gains. That's even more relevant when stripers are up in the white water. Good plugs for big water include the array of bottleneck poppers, as well as plugs like Guides Secret M-80s. But pencil poppers might be the best overall for big water. They have a walk-the-dog action that not only moves water, but also replicates a noisy, wounded baitfish. "Pencils will get strikes when it doesn't look like there are fish feeding, especially when they are on big bait like bunker," says Crescitelli. "We kept that big splash and big profile in mind when we designed our pencil popper."
In the back bays, it's a different story. Large noisemakers actually spook fish in shallow water or against a sod bank. Smaller, lighter plugs — like a Gag's Grabber Schoolie-Popper or a Guides Secret Baby Bottle Pop — are better choices. Stillwater Smack-Its have a large following and are made in a junior version, which works well in back bays.
Floating versus sinking? Opinions vary. While there are instances that require you to rip the plug across the surface, I prefer plastic floating plugs because I can work them slowly, with intermittent pauses. Frequently, I get stripers following a plug all the way to the boat. By pausing it every few seconds, I can keep it in the water longer, allowing that indecisive fish to make up its mind. Furthermore, such a retrieve better imitates a dying baitfish, expending its last bit of energy. Such behavior makes stripers believe it's an easy meal, so they instinctively attack.
