Kidderminster girl, 13, found dead in bath
3:02pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News
A THIRTEEN-year-old Baxter College student has been found dead at her home in Kidderminster.
Natalie Chetter, of Park Street, was found dead in the bath on Sunday.
A statement on Baxter College's website said: "The news of Natalie's death has come as a great shock and is incredibly sad news for all of us at Baxter College.
"Natalie was a caring friend with an infectious smile who always tried her hardest in lessons.
"She was a champion for the underdog with a strong sense of right and wrong. Our thoughts are very much with Natalie's family and friends at this sad time.
"Our focus now as a school community is to support each other through this very difficult time and to provide support to pupils and staff."
The Worcestershire Coroner has been informed.

Leather broke apart when pulledOctober 23, 2013
I was using this leather to make a simple weave bracelet. While tightening the leather in a knot against the button, it broke on two. I was much more satisfied with the sturdiness and quality of the black leather (LF-BLK1) (same thickness) that has a shinny coating. I think the natural state makes it more fragile especially with how thin this leather cord is.

ALBANY — Local food, beverage products list available
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is encouraging New Yorkers to take advantage of the state's revamped "Pride of New York" website, located at www.prideofny.com, to search for the best in locally grown and produced New York State food and beverage products this upcoming holiday season.
"Whether you're looking for a bakery on Long Island or a winery in the North Country, the 'Pride of New York' website offers an extensive collection of New York's finest local producers to help complete your holiday season," Cuomo said. "Buying food and beverages that are grown and produced right here in New York is an important way to support local vendors as well as the state's agricultural industries."
"Pride of New York" is the state's branding program for the promotion of New York food, beverage and agricultural products. It is an important component of Cuomo's Taste NY initiative, which is dedicated to bringing to New Yorkers the best products grown and made in the state. In October of this year, Cuomo unveiled the Pride of New York Pledge, a new initiative that encourages restaurants and chefs across the state to increase their use of New York products by 10 percent or more.
The website allows people to conduct specific searches of databases from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets in a user-friendly format. Searchers first choose from among the main categories such as Agritourism, Baked Goods, Dairy, Nursery/Plants and Seafood. They can then choose the type of business they're looking for, whether it's a retail outlet, a restaurant, a farm, a manufacturer or several other classifications. They then give their zip code and choose how far they're willing to travel. There is an additional option for those who would like directions.

Campbell County - Timberlake Dixie Youth baseball players got a real treat Monday night. Liberty Flames head coach Jim Toman brought his entire team over to put on a two hour clinic for about 50-to-60 players, ages 5 to 12, helping them with baseball skills and just having a good time on the diamond. Hard to tell WHO who was having more fun, the young kids or the older guys. The young kids even got to dog-pile on Coach Toman at the end of the night.

LEWISBURG, W. Va (WVVA)-- Three have been arrested in Greenbrier County, charged with forgery and uttering.
Alexander Shelton, 18, of Lewisburg was arrested Thursday by Detective Vance from the Lewisburg Police Department.
In court documents, Vance said Shelton cashed some checks belonging to his father several times throughout the month of January. The bank notified him that his son was cashing checks in his name.
The amount Alexander Shelton took out of the bank using these forged checks totals to over $2700.00, according to Vance's report.
Shelton, pictured at left, is charged with 6 counts of forgery and 6 counts of uttering.
Two others were arrested by Chief JP Stevens from the Rainelle Police Department.
Autumn Nicole McNeely, 21, of Crawley was arrested Thursday. In a police report, Stevens said McNeely was cashing bad checks several times at a Go-Mart in Rainelle. The checks belonged to someone she knew.
McNeely is charged with six counts of conspiracy, 3 counts of forgery, and 3 counts of uttering. Her bond is set at $10,000.00.
According to Stevens, McNeely (pictured at left) was working with David Lee Bennett, 21, of Rainelle. Stevens said the two had planned the crimes prior to going into the store and cashing the checks together.
Bennett (pictured at left) was arrested Friday and is also charged with six counts of conspiracy, 3 counts of forgery, and 3 counts of uttering. His bond is set at $10,000.00 (cash only.) Stevens said there are other pending charges against Bennett for unrelated crimes in Greenbrier County.
Both confessed to stealing the checks and forging them.

With a lockout threatening to delay the start of free agency, Raiders TE Zach Miller told PFW he's in "wait-and-see mode" when it comes to his future in Oakland. While reports indicate that the Raiders are likely to put the franchise tag on Miller, whose contract will expire at 11:59 p.m. ET on March 3, he told PFW that his agent and the team are still discussing a long-term deal.
"I guess (the tag is) an option," he said. "There's still talk about getting a deal done for me, as well."
His salary for 2011 would be $7.3 million under the tag, which would be a significant raise for Miller, who led the Raiders in receptions in each of the past three seasons. The deadline for using the tag is Feb. 23.
PFW asked Miller, who made his first Pro Bowl appearance after last season, how he would feel about being tagged.
"I look at it two ways," he said. "One way is: Why wasn't I extended sooner? I pretty much outplayed my rookie contract, so why didn't I have a done deal sooner? And then there's the uncertainty of the lockout and that sort of thing as the possible reason for it.

Miller said he would like to stay in Oakland, but he added that it doesn't mean he's not open to opportunities with other teams.

Solving tech's diversity problem may be a key to saving San Francisco
"Die techie scum." Those words are sprayed ominously on sidewalks throughout San Francisco. They're plastered on stickers stamped on lampposts. They're even scrawled in the bathrooms of punk bars, the very establishments now populated by Google-Glass-wearing tech aficionados.
Journalists from San Francisco to New York have opined on the source of the hate: Is it the housing crisis? Tech-fueled gentrification? Rising inequality? Those same journalists later parachute into the tech industry to periodically peer at its soul: Is tech diverse enough? Is it sexist? Is it a true meritocracy?
Those issues are often looked at in a vacuum, but perhaps they shouldn't be. Perhaps those problems are all interconnected, and solving tech's diversity problem is also part of solving income inequality in San Francisco, giving longtime San Franciscans a chance to join the industry many now view as composed of outsiders and interlopers.
The average Silicon Valley tech worker makes about $100,000, according to Dice Holdings Inc., which conducts annual tech salary surveys. Opportunity in the tech sector may bolster San Francisco's middle-income earners, vanishing like wayward sea lions from the city's landscape. Statistics from the US Census Bureau show that 66 percent of the city is either very poor or very rich, showing a hollowing out of the middle class.
Some tech CEOs are addressing their employment needs with a foreign workforce. Mark Zuckerberg and a cadre of tech CEOs have lobbied Senate and House Republicans to reform immigration in their favor, hoping to lure out-of-country workers to fill tech's employment vacancies. Politico reported Sean Parker gave upwards of $500,000 to Republicans in 2014, all for the cause of immigration reform.
Conversely, a movement is already underway to bring San Franciscans into tech's fold, based on the idea of a win-win scenario: San Francisco's public school students are overwhelmingly diverse and lower income, while the tech industry is not.
Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Yahoo recently released their diversity numbers, showing the companies are mostly white and male. This accusation has long haunted Silicon Valley.
Two years ago, Businessweek heralded the "Rise of the Brogrammer." The stereotype is as follows: He preens as he programs in his popped collar, his startup funds fuel the city as he hunts "the ladies," and he is insensitive toward women in the workplace in the most fratboy-like way imaginable.
Biz dev VP of @path just cracked lame jokes re: "nudie calendars," frat guys + "hottest girls," "gangbang" at #swsx talk. Cue early exit.
— Tasneem Raja (@tasneemraja) March 11, 2012
But while outlier brogrammer douche-bros certainly exist, whose classist opinions ignite widespread ire (think Greg Gopman's statement comparing homeless people to "hyenas"), the real brogrammer threat is more insidious, more systemic.
the playing of a race card. Techies are not all white - many are Asian but you conveniently ignore that.
But of course your real whine is that the racial breakdown of tech firms doesn't exactly align with the city's demographics. To which I'd respond - why should it. Nor does the Warriors.
As for economic diversity I would simply point out that making 100K a year doesn't make anyone "rich" It's barely above the average, in fact.
How does diversifying tech help SF. All you'll get is overpaid Black people and overpaid Latino people to go along with your overpaid White people and overpaid Asian people.
All the poor residents will still get forced out.
Please provide comparative analysis reports on different occupations in your answer.
If tech companies could pay less, they would. Witness the anti-poaching scandals involving several big tech companies. They schemed to hold down techie wages.
Yep, "shut up and be more humble"--that's a start. Not an easy concept for the millenials who think the sun rises and sets from their bums. They're ruined my city. Yes, my city and I do resent them.
Call it even?
A more self-righteous and entitled generation was never born.
Queer Arab American publisher, female news director, female art director, female senior arts editor, female music editor… I'd go on, but the law (quite rightly) prohibits me from discussing staff ethnicities other than my own. Please feel free to look over our masthead.
-- Marke B.
Steven once referred to you as "Persian." Maybe he just thinks all you Middle Easterners look alike.
Nothing wrong with being Dutch.
marke, you really would have been better off ducking given that this topic is SFBG's Achilles heel (along with union busting of course)
you are like unto a bunion on the achilles heel of life, o guest!
were female (and of course white and privileged).
"Longtime residents see a sea of newcomers, often white, often male, who aren't pulling up a seat for minorities to join the new gold rush."
There's ya problem right there. You're waiting for someone to pull up a seat for ya.
The white techies didn't wait for that to happen, nor did the Asian techies. Instead they developed the skills that are in demand.
Perhaps the SFBG could highlight examples of non Whtes or Asians who have been blocked from learning these skills?
Any examples of Google sending away highly qualified candidates because they weren't White or Asian?
A heterosexual male can't complain that he didn't get a date with a Victoria Secrets model because she didn't 'pull up a seat' and invite him over. You have to become what she wants and then aggressively let her know about it.
While other guys are standing around waiting for someone to help them.
"The white techies didn't wait for that to happen, nor did the Asian techies. Instead they developed the skills that are in demand." Let's expand on that. Neither did the black techies or the Latino techies. They developed skills that are in high demand and got good jobs. Or is the BG saying that they didn't get there on their own merit and are just tokens diversity hires?
workers were much worse, which in most cases they are, else they would be hired in what is the biggest meritocracy in the Bay Area
actually, some Asian techies are calling out how stereotypes of their perceived skill helps them in the workplace more than other minorities:
A true post-racial person would not endlessly look for racial disparities and think that matters.
I cry for the education being meted out in colleges now. Precious sentimentality has replaced critical thought.
You bring up a fair point I was hoping I adequately addressed in the article. That people are NOW being trained for skills they didn't have before (due to class and income reasons), but the question I was hoping to highlight was this: when skilled diverse applicants arrive, will tech accept them? Or will they say that one Hispanic guy just wasn't a "culture fit", as seemingly happens now. So yes, people need skills and training, but the point is this: even with skills and training, can they still get the job?
Really??? You think an entire industry made up of hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds, if not thousands, of companies are turning away qualified Latino and black applicants because they aren't a good "culture fit"? Do you have any proof of this? Or are you just throwing stuff against a wall and hope something sticks?
But you just proved that you have no proof. You just said that there aren't that many blacks and Latinos (not minorities because Asians are actually a minority) didn't have the training. So should tech companies hire unqualified people because of some progressives idea of what they think diversity should be?
degrees from places like Cal Tech. You can't just stick someone in a programming class at CCSF for a year and expect they're going to be hired at the same level as someone with a Ph.D or an MA. The expectation this is going to happen really illustrates a vast gulf between reality and fantasy in the minds of people who do not understand these types of businesses at all.
I addressed that in the article, talking about CS degrees, education, and more. I know it's a long read at seven pages, but you should really give it a shot.
And to the comment above, I would say there are numerous stories of racism/sexism that occur in subtle not so subtle ways that shut out underrepresented ethnicities.
One perspective I didn't have space to include was this one:
I'm not going to do all your research for you, but reading my section on the Mirror-tocracy I hope you can see that it's a problem of people hiring people that look and act like themselves -- a problem industries have faced in the past, which tech now has to overcome.
This is absolutely absurd. So sick of the race baiting progressives who are getting closer and closer everyday to acknowledging what it is that they really want and that's quotas. Why are they always measuring everything according to how much melanin a person has in their skin? It's divisive and hateful. As a mixed race person (though I probably don't count in their racist eyes because 50% is Asian) from a background FAR more disadvantaged than anything these suburban guilty white limousine liberals, it is painful to see them spew this unproductive, misleading rhetoric.
Their message is, "the game is rigged, whitey hates you, and you'll never succeed on your own without government intervention. Don't even bother trying to better yourself by education, hard work, and just simply getting after it, because 'the man' will only kick you back to the curb. Your only way out is to bitch that someone who has more money than you has wronged you in some way, and claim your rightful status as alpha victim in the ever expanding grievance industry."
The saddest part is that it's working. Sad disillusioned young people who thought that their CCSF major in Chicano studies and protesting would be a marketable skill set are now shocked when they are unemployed and the kid who stayed in on weekends and majored in electrical engineering is being wooed with offers from multiple companies. Enough with the propaganda progressives. There is one way and only one way out of this cycle and that's hard work and education. Quit telling people that the game is rigged and that they can't because they can. Your message is racist but people are buying into this phoney baloney bullshit and thinking that the reason they are failures is not because they lack skills but because everyone else is a racist. Knock it off.
It got John Perez all the way to the Speaker's gavel (although it looks like he's not gonna make it to Controller).
Guilty white suburban limousine liberals? I'm mixed Latino, went to mostly poor public schools, and grew up in urban San Francisco. Don't attack my character, attack my points!
And it's not about victimhood, and it's not even about individual racism/sexism... It's about a system designed to not let certain people in, and the need to restructure that system.
black or Hispanic kid can't get a job in tech.
All you've done as far as I can see is whine that they either aren't applying or aren't qualified.
Excellent post.
I read the article...you told some stories about things that happen in every major industry, even the NBA.
For example the major sexual harassment story that you tell is at Tindr between a manager and an employee who were involved romantically. This happens everywhere. The SFBG isn't going to investigate the John Avalos/Raquel Redondiez situation for obvious reasons, but the stuff that you ascribe to tech could happen anywhere.
Also, that Model View Culture post that you link to says "The faces that dominate the public image of tech -- Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates -- are reflective of the reality of tech's make up: white men from middle class backgrounds."
Well guess what? Steve Jobs has been replaced by a gay man. Steve Ballmer has been replaced by Satya Nadella, who emigrated to this country at age 23. The other faces of tech include Yahoo's Marisa Mayer and Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg.
So I ain't convinced that you turned up anything unique about tech. In fact, I find it very hard to believe that any tech company would walk away from a talented programmer because they weren't a White or Asian male.
Exactly - tech companies care about talented programmers, who are in short supply. They could care less if you're Indian or Asian or otherwise - they need to fill seats with talented people.
It's more than that...they WANT to have a work force that looks like America. It looks good to investors and the press.
From a business standpoint why would you want to limit your recruiting to specific demographic segments? Is your competition going to do the same?
You make a fair point about larger tech companies wanting to hire people in tech. They do! Startups, which I wrote about, are a different story. I suppose it can be confusing, I use Google Facebook LinkedIn and Yahoo statistics to paint the portrait of WHO works in tech, but then go on to write about the problems of startups. I can see how one might think I'm writing about the larger companies unwillingness to hire people of color and women. I'm not. It's mainly a startup problem.
But if it's research you want, Level Playing Field Institute conducted rigorous, expansive research, which I cite in my article. But if it wasn't clear enough for you, let me expand (from LPFI's website):
The Tilted Playing Field: Hidden Bias in Information Technology Workplaces report was released September 2011. The report reveals that hidden biases within the workplace can produce unequal opportunities and outcomes for employees depending on their race and gender. This study reports on data collected from a sample of IT engineers and managers in large companies and small startups nationwide. Use hashtag #HiddenBiasIT to join the discussion on Twitter.
The report has three significant findings:
(1) IT workplace experiences vary significantly by race and gender.
Women and underrepresented people of color encounter negative workplace experiences (e.g, difficulty balancing work/family, exclusionary cliques, bullying) at rates significantly higher than their male and white counterparts.
Being a woman and/or underrepresented person of color predicted the likelihood of experiencing negative workplace incidents.
(2) Negative workplace experiences lead to increased turnover in IT roles.
Underrepresented people of color were least satisfied with their job, least satisfied with skill development opportunities, and most likely to leave the company in the upcoming year.
As the number of negative work experiences reported by individuals across the study increased, the level of satisfaction with their current job and likelihood to remain with that company significantly decreased.
(3) Diversity is not a priority for gatekeepers, despite a talent shortage and high cost of employee turnover.
Despite vast underrepresentation of women and people of color in IT, 68% of the sample indicated satisfaction with their company's diversity efforts.
However, men and women in startups differed drastically in their satisfaction with their company's diversity efforts. And underrepresented people of color were nearly twice as likely as whites to be in favor of a company-wide practice to increase diversity (80% compared to 46%).
here's the full report
Yes, there is bias in the tech business. They are biased in favor of those with tech skills.
If they are 80% white/asian and male, who gives a crap? Do you hear whites and asians whining that they can't make a NBA team?
Enough already with the identity politics and card playing and politicial correctness.
soooo on the one hand, there are too many anecdotes and not enough research. So when I show research, I'm quota counting? Now that's just some silly, and rather obvious baiting. I was trying to have a dialogue, which I find productive in comments sections, but if you're just going to go off the rails then I don't see any point in it.
criticize others who call you out on that as "baiting".
Can you not address the point made? Why aren't there more Asians in NBA teams? Is that wrong? Answer the question.
He's a white guy who hates whites. Oh, the self hate.
Who is stopping any qualified applicant from getting hired? This article alludes to it but never gives a real answer. Just some poorly perceived group thought.
This endless quest for "diversity" is so offensive. I only hear white people complaining about it, like they are ashamed of their own culture or something. Like they want some diversity to show off to their other white friends.
If the "brogrammer" offends you so much, why do you continue to buy into their products? No one seems to be willing to put down their laptops, phones, tablets to protest anything. You know why you don't hear much back from the tech community? They are busy doing productive things instead of whining about how they don't look right. How things would be so much better if there were just a few more skin shades around. They are smart enough to know that actually, race and sex affect the end product and its demand 0%.
across as overwhelmingly precious, self-absorbed and reeking of privilege.
... I'm mixed latino, not white, and judging by the amount of people who tried to talk to me in Spanish this week alone (5), I'm going to guess I'm perceived as Hispanic as well.
But if I sound too entitled to you, why don't you listen to the "whining" of an Asian programmer, who argues many of the same things I do?
Why are you damn fixated on race?
society progressives have all agreed we can only get their by categorizing everything BY and ABOUT race. It's a paradox, I know - but they're really wedded to the idea.
with it. Not all occupations have to have exactly represent racial breakdowns.
A true meritocracy is blind to race and other artificial categories and stereotypes
trend towards bemoaning their fellow man not being "educated" or "informed," but don't seem to know what self selection is.
I personally find most techies to be dull, uninteresting people. I don't share really any of the interests most of them seem to have - gadgets, video games, technology, startup gossip, etc...
however, on a daily basis in SF, I am more likely to be personally annoyed by a fairly sizeable list of other people than I am by techies. to name a few:
cab drivers
vapid blondes
thugs around the civic center
old asian ladies who think it's okay to get in your way/cut in line/etc
people in town for conferences (tech or otherwise)
all the people here who think it's okay to walk side by side down narrow sidewalks and not even move aside for the foot traffic coming in the other direction
anyone who thinks car horns are a valid form of communication
the list could go on and on. all of those people have way more of a negative impact on my day-to-day life than tech workers, and yet none of these people are vilified like tech workers are.
Attributing the lack of diversity in technology employment to the cartoon monster of the "white, male brogrammer" is inaccurate and unhelpful. Indeed, the interviewer who underestimates and unfairly rejects a female job candidate may not be a white male. He may be, with a pretty high likelihood, an Asian or Indian male. The issue is an incomplete diversity, which excludes women, but includes every ethnic and cultural group apart from Black and Latino. This is certainly a moral and practical problem. But resorting to the "white male brogrammer" stereotype is a futile excercise in trying to fix something without honestly looking at it.
Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez's poorly reasoned hit piece (The Age of the Brogrammer, Vol. 48, No. 42)), while pointing out real issues that should be addressed in the tech sector, misses, in its apparent zeal to create controversy, an amazing fact supported by the very statistics he states as fact in the article. 15% of the workers at Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Linkedin are female despite the fact that only 24% of students pursuing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields are female! Wow! That these companies can still fill 15% of their workforce with women after the STEM curriculum provides female workers to the workplace in the myriad non-computer tech jobs (medical, civil/structural/mechanical engineering, physics, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, etc.) should be heralded as a minor miracle! All students, including women and minorities, should be encouraged to enter the STEM curriculum, given the obvious advantages in the future economy. For the present, Rodriguez owes these "brogrammers" a high-five for filling so many spots with women from such a small pool of female STEM-qualified applicants.

The Charlotte Bobcats have been completely awful this season as every game this year has just been one joke after another as at 4-31 they're the NBA's stand up comedian act. However during today's game against the New Jersey Nets they gave up one of their most hurtful jokes.
Facing the fourth worst team in the NBA ahead of themselves at dead last, followed by Washington at 8-28, and Sacramento at 12-25 the Charlotte Bobcats not only allowed the 12-26 New Jersey Nets defeat them 104-101.
Though it gets better or well worse…depending on what way you look at it as New Jersey Net's guard Deron Williams, whose averaging 21.2 points per game scored 57 points against the helpless Bobcats.
Williams' 57 points also set a New Jersey Nets franchise record. See I told you it would get better for the Bobcats as they helped Nets' guard Deron Williams make history.
But wait, there's more good news as since the Bobcats didn't allow Williams to score 58 or more meant that they saved their franchise record for most points allowed by one player in a game as Kobe Bryant owns that record from December 29th, 2006 when he dropped 58 points in a 124-133 Lakers loss.
Though unfortunately for the Bobcats unlike they were able to do when they allowed Bryant to put on a shooting clinic for 58 points, they were however unable to come up with the win for Williams' record breaking outing.
Now to the Bobcats' defense their defense against opposing teams was considerably better in 2006 than it was this season as they ranked ninth for most points allowed in the NBA with 100.6 points per game where as this season they rank fourth with 101.1 points per game.
Now also to the Bobcats' defense, head coach Paul Silas told his team not to double team Williams tonight as they were not giving him special "star attention" sort of speak.
As for Williams he loved it.
"I'm used to getting double-teamed on those," Williams said. "It's kind of refreshing not to be."
Though you think after Williams had 39 points through three quarters that you would switch up the defensive routine and try to stop him? Nope, instead they thought that letting him score 18 more points in the fourth quarter to lead the Nets to a 104-101 victory was a better idea, a much better idea.
"You can do one of two things: you can try to stop him and double him and leave other players wide open or guard everybody," Silas said. "I thought that's mainly what kept us in the game. Nobody else was doing anything (for them). It gave us a chance."
The Nets will end their four game road trip in Miami on Tuesday so let's hope that Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra was taking some notes or some advice as to pss pss (whisper noises) to double team the man and shut him down.

The overall appearance of the ship was nice. I have previously been on the Mariner and Disney's Wonder so I wasn't very impressed by the Enchantment. However, I went on the Enchantment for the ports of call, and I was expecting a smaller older ship than I had been on before. I was actually pleasantly surprised by a few of the Enchantments common areas. I particularly loved the Boleros Bar. Two young women in their twenties ran the bar and seemed to work around the clock. They were so delightful!! My mother and I fell in love with the bar's signature drink the Mojito. The Mariner has a Boleros but I preferred the Boleros on the Enchantment.
The food on the ship was ok but not great. They were constantly running out of food in the dining room. How can you run out of ketchup, chocolate chip cookies, and tea on a cruise ship? Dining room staff was very efficient and seemed to be embarrassed by the food shortage.
Entertainment was just ok also. The cruise director was funnier than any of the comedians. He was a great cruise director.
Ports of call were all beautiful and made the vacation well worth it. The only problem we had was in Martha's Vineyard. The tendering was just awful. We waited in the halls for an hour to get off the ship and than waited an hour and half in the hot hot sun to get back on. It was the hottest I had ever been and I am from Florida. They offered us no shade and no drink until you got to the end of the line an 1 1/2 later. There were elderly people sitting in the street.
The kids club was a joke. The crew never stuck to the compass and my kids were often disappointed because they would go for specific activities and they wouldn't get to do them. Kids club BIG disappointment.
All in All I am glad I went because I loved the scenery but if you cruise for the ship go on the Mariner.

Dolphins ready for transition to 4-3 defense
The Dolphins will experience some personnel changes on defense under Kevin Coyle, but their aggressive style should remain.

Patriots OTs Matt Light and Sebastian Vollmer will need to keep the Dolphins' outside 'backers from disrupting Tom Brady's rhythm.

The matchup between two breakout players — Patriots ORT Sebastian Vollmer and Dolphins OLB Cameron Wake — will be a fun one to watch.

Dolphins OLB Wake excelling in pass rush
OLB Cameron Wake has had an impressive beginning to his first full season starting as the Dolphins' go-to pass rusher.
Dolphins need more well-rounded performance from OLB Wake
With Joey Porter and Jason Taylor out of the picture, the development of OLB Cameron Wake becomes an even more significant story line in 2010.
‹‹ previous 1 next ››
Wake gained about 10 pounds since the end of last season to accommodate his move from outside linebacker to defensive end as the Dolphins switch from a 3-4 scheme to a 4-3 defense.||||||| The move should be seamless for Wake, whose career took off when he racked up 39 sacks in two years while playing defensive end for the CFL's British Columbia Lions in 2007-08.
The Miami Dolphins have extended linebacker Cameron Wake's contract through the 2016 season. Wake had one year and $650,000 left on his previous deal. ESPN is reporting the extension is worth $49 million, with $20 million guaranteed.||||||| Wake has 28 sacks and four forced fumbles with Miami after coming to the Dolphins from the Canadian Football League, where he was a two-time defensive player of the year.
Wake played in Sunday's Pro Bowl after a stellar season in which his 14 sacks ranked him third in the league.||||||| Wake is a second-year stud and his success is no surprise since he's from Penn State, where he was coached by the legendary Joe Paterno. Fantasy owners should be coveting his pass rushing skills.

In February, the nights are cold and we begin to feel a bit of cabin fever. We're tired of being cooped up in the house, and there's a part of us that's just longing for a bit of warmth. This is the season of Imbolc, the days when we know that if we can just hold on for a few more weeks, we might get lucky and see little green shoots peeking out through the snow and slush.

This is a month when new life is beginning, but still lies dormant. Pregnant animals, due in the spring, begin to feel the quickening of their unborn young. The earth itself is quickening, as seeds and bulbs far beneath the soil begin their journey towards the light. We know these things are coming -- and we know also that this is a good month to make plans for the future. We can dream and hope, and set goals for ourselves. Accept responsibility for mistakes you've made in the past, and move on. Magical workings this month should focus on personal achievements and advancement.

It's All About The YAC; Part 1
When Tommy Tuberville got the job at Cincinnati everyone assumed that he would be bringing the same slow, plodding and physical ground based attack that he has had at every stop along the way, save Texas Tech. It is still far too early to make any broad ranging points about the offense. But, the indications are that the Bearcats are going to be playing at a much faster than anticipated clip. But the physicality will be there. Tion Green, Hosey Williams and Rod Moore ran for a combined 112 yards, 32 of those yards came after contact. That is a figure that is only going to increase as Rod Moore and Tion Green become more integrated into the offense and start siphoning carries from Ralph David Abernathy IV who is tough as hell, but not meant for picking up yards after contact.
It's All About The YAC; Part 2
The Purdue game being the first of the year against, as it turned out, a completely over matched opponent there wasn't a lot of expectations from the passing game. This wasn't the game to take aim and fire at an over matched secondary. In part because the secondary for Purdue wasn't over matched, it was the linebackers that were. The Bearcats attacked liberally in that zone of the field, with a great deal of success. Munchie Legaux was 5 of 6 for 85 yards with a TD and an INT on throws between 10 and 20 yards.
Spreading It Around
Munchie and Brendon Kay combined to hit 12 different receivers with passes. That is a stat that you have probably seen published somewhere, or mentioned on a radio program. But here is the more interesting stat. Every receiver that was targeted against Purdue caught at least one pass. I have spent a lot of time pouring through box scores and I can say that games in which everyone targeted caught at least one ball are really rare. You might find one in two seasons worth of games.
Small Sample Size Stat Of The Week
Brendon Kay has a passer rating of 524.8 on throws that travel at least 40 yards in the air. The theoretical limit of the college passer rating system is 1,261.6. To reach that every pass a QB throws has to be a 99 yard TD. Kay got a little bit over 45 per cent of the way. Not bad for a single throw.

"Card was great. The colors happen to go well with several of the photos we chose. Was able to add up to 9 photos which worked really well for us"
"Was able to share pictures to review 2013 and perfect wording for how we plan to spend 2014! Exactly the greeting I wanted to send our loved ones!"
"Site was easy to use and upload to. I was late on my Christmas schedule so I paid for rush delivery; ordered late Wednesday evening, arrived early Saturday morning! Print colors and paper quality excellent. Used back of card to caption the images. Reason for 4-stars on design is inability to change "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" to another greeting, e.g. 'Merry Christmas'. Otherwise, a 5-star product. One tip: when editing photos before uploading, use a 3x4 cropping frame."
"This is my second time ordering postcards as my Christmas card and I love it. It's unique and fun. A couple things to note - it is small, but not tiny. It is nice if you don't have very high quality photos because you don't need to blow them up. One small complaint is that we couldn't put a return address label on the back because it would have covered our text. It would be nice if TinyPrints showed how much room is at the top (size)."
"I love that this card was a postcard. In the past, we used traditional holiday cards, but this is the first year I did a postcard. So easy. And we love to use many pictures. Although, the pictures are small. The quality of the card was great. We got the cards within one week of ordering them."

MORTON, Ill -- Mayor-elect for the village of Morton Ron Rainson says his only agenda is to represent the entire community once he takes office next month.
Rainson retired last year after a decade of running his engineering company Axis Incorporated.
Tuesday night Rainson defeated his opponent Stephen Newhouse.
Rainson says with tri-county crime on the rise, one of his main goals is pooling resources to the Morton Police Department.
"We want to make sure our police department is one of the best in the country, best equipped, best trained, staffed," Rainson explains. "Shortly on the heels of that would be we want to continue to make sure we have a lot of fresh water and good sewer systems and roads and highways."
The mayor-elect says smaller communities must take care of themselves due to over-spending on the state and federal levels.
He will be sworn into office on May 6th.

Ketchikan, on the southwest side of Revillagigedo Island, grew up around salmon canneries and sawmills. Ketchikan's name supposedly comes from the native term "Katch Kanna", which roughly translates: "spread wings of a thundering eagle." At one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the "Salmon Capital of the World." An outstanding collection of totem poles make a visit to Ketchikan essential for anyone interested in Native art. Travelers flock to Ketchikan for their first look at the North Country, and are rarely disappointed.
