MORE than £300,000 has been secured to support victims of crime and domestic violence in North Yorkshire.
Julia Mulligan, Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, bid for the funding from the Ministry of Justice, which will provide extra support to victims of domestic and sexual violence, provide counselling and therapies to victims of serious crimes, and offer support and advice to frequently-targeted victims of violence, hate crime and antisocial behaviour.
The announcement follows the release of figures which show an increased conviction rate for perpetrators of domestic violence in York and North Yorkshire.
Mrs Mullligan said: "This extra funding is excellent news that will enable even more victims of some of the most damaging crimes imaginable to come to terms with their experiences and start recovering.
"Over the last few years, the number of people coming forward to report these sorts of crimes has risen, yet until now there has been no secure, dedicated funding for this specific area of work."
"As part of my Police and Crime plan, I am committing to do more to address domestic and sexual violence and combat repeat victimisation. This announcement is another important step towards those aims."
Detective Superintendent Heather Pearson of North Yorkshire Police welcomed the announcement.
She said: "This, alongside other, national improvements such as the introduction of the Domestic Violence Protection Orders and the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme will improve the response to victims of abuse even more.
The most important thing for us, is that victims have the courage and confidence to come forward and get the help they need. I hope the increased conviction rates and improved services encourage more victims to make that important, life-changing step."

HOUSTON - Hundreds lined up for the midnight release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the newest edition of the popular video game series.
"I had to take off work today to wait in line," Michael Oqui'nn said. "And tomorrow I'm gonna be taking off too just to play the game."
Oqui'nn was the first of hundreds waiting outside a Game Stop on Highway 249.
"I showed up around 2 p.m.," Oqui'nn said.
In the parking lot is two gigantic screens for gamers to preview and play the new video game.
"It's gonna be a fun night though," Austin King, 17, said. "I'm skipping school tomorrow for this, so hopefully it's worth it."
"I've been waiting for this for months," fellow gamer Ryan Gephardt said. "It's advanced warfare. They have drones and new futuristic planes."
Retail price for the game is $59.99.

Ethic edge
Want more on the Army ethic discussion, or a preview of some of the related training your unit may receive? The Center for the Army Profession and Ethic hosts those materials and others at http://cape.army.mil, which is not behind a firewall — no password needed. Users can download the Army ethic white paper and provide direct feedback to CAPE officials; watch instructional videos on ethical behavior and other core concepts, including one featuring Staff Sgt. John Diem (see related story); and download training materials in multiple formats.
For two days, more than 150 of the Army's top general officers and senior enlisted leaders, with some help from authors and academics, pored over white papers, compiled briefings from breakout groups and debated everything from the Founding Fathers to Facebook.
All that to define a simple phrase — one which, at its core, defines what it means to be a soldier.
The Army Profession Annual Symposium, held here Wednesday and Thursday, focused on "the Army ethic," a concept that's been around since the Army's founding and finds outlets in several pieces of doctrine, but hasn't been codified for easier dispersal and internalization throughout the ranks.
"It's probably one of the most important discussions I've been involved in in my 33 years" of service, said Lt. Gen. Robert Brown, head of the Combined Arms Center, after the symposium. "We've had an Army ethic for 239 years. It's never really been captured."
Members of the media were allowed to witness presentations at the symposium, which was presented by the Center for the Army Profession and Ethic, but weren't permitted to attribute statements made by the participants. Some of those participants agreed to interviews after the event, including the officer behind the gathering — Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno.
"It's important for us that we espouse the values, the ethics, and set the conditions for [soldiers] that come in here to improve themselves individually, which in the end improves us collectively," Odierno said. "And that's really what the profession is about: Holding ourselves to a higher standard."
The presentations only served to advance the discussion; CAPE officials said they expect next summer's professional symposium to tackle the same issue, and a "Living the Army Ethic" program, announced as the symposium wound down, will be in place through the end of fiscal 2015.
Symposium setup
CAPE published a 14-page white paper that included a single-page working definition of the ethic — one leaders were tasked with improving during breakout sessions.
Those sessions, and others, led participants all over the decision-making and leadership map. Some of the key topics:
■ Get the words right. As one participant put it, "It's hard to write doctrine on how you make judgments." The back-and-forth over pseudo-simple concepts of loyalty and duty, or over a "trusted" professional instead of a "trustworthy" one, showed a level of detail designed to provide a long-lasting document.
One debate that appears settled: Expect the phrase "Trusted professional" to stick.
"I think now we're going to use this to begin to start thinking about how we brand ourselves in the future, focused around 'trusted professional' and what that means," Odierno said. "I've already had an initial discussion with the secretary of the Army, and we are going to try to take this forward and see where we go."
For example, this year's AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition will be entitled "Trusted Professional: Today and Tomorrow," Odierno said. He didn't specify what the new branding would mean for the existing "Army Strong" campaign.
■ Impart the message. Deployed correctly, a well-defined ethic creates "a set of principles, and the purpose of the principles is to inspire us to honorable service," said Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen, superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy. Without that message reaching its audience, Caslen said, soldiers are simply bound to "rules and regulations that we'll follow — and we'll only do it because we have to, because of the consequences."
Much of the symposium focused on taking the ethic beyond PowerPoints and into interactive, nontraditional education efforts, aiming to instill a set of values instead of checking a box on a training sheet.
"What does it take to inspire someone to internalize this ethic?" asked one participant. There wasn't a clear answer.
■ Keep up with technology. Social media and instant communication create multiple opportunities to poke holes in the ethic's construct. Caslen discussed the most obvious, stemming from a dinner he hosted for some cadets last year.
"A cadet asked me, 'Sir, what do you think, is it all right if I have a private life that is different from my public life?' " he said. "And this is what the social media place is, so they can act and behave with a different set of values. ... This is just what the generation is thinking."
While multiple leaders expressed the need to be a "trusted professional 24/7," some pointed to problems with ever-present connectivity: Leaders are prone to micromanagement, or can isolate themselves behind a keyboard, avoiding the face-to-face communication that's key to passing along core values.
"Our job is about personal interaction," Odierno said. "It's important that we understand and utilize the improvements that are being made in communications capability, but also recognize, ultimately, the work we do is about the human dimension."
Or, as one attendee put it, "The little emoticon is not an emotion. It's an icon."
■ Find the 'why.' The Army's top enlisted soldier summarized a running theme that many presenters touched upon: The need to explain the driving force behind the Army's many codes, creeds, oaths and other statements of proper behavior.
"The ethic ... is the answer to the 'why,' " Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond Chandler said. "You know, why is it important that we never leave a fallen comrade behind? Because we've got something that says we'll serve honorably. And you're not going to leave someone behind."

Markus Werner was born in Germany, trained in Munich and has spent the past 16 years working in executive chef positions in Australia. For the third January in a row, his role with hospitality giant Delaware North will involve him overseeing more than 200 chefs working across 17 kitchens at the Australian Open at Melbourne Park. The role involves ensuring the estimated 600,000 tennis fans are happy with the food on offer during the fortnight-long tournament, while also accommodating corporate ticket-holders and, of course, the players.
The big stage
I've been in charge of the food at many big events, including the Logies and the Brownlow Medal when I worked at Crown, but nothing compares to the Australian Open. There's an explosive energy; it's like a new city has been born . . . We prepare more than 6000 corporate meals each day.
My 17 kitchens
The staff kitchen is one of the biggest. We prepare about 3000 meals each day for staff, including all the ball boys and girls. There's a kitchen just for the media. There's a kitchen at Rod Laver that just services the corporate superboxes. There are 35 superboxes seating up to 18 people, and each box has its own menu.
Player Cafe
It's a buffet-style set-up. Two chefs make sushi to order, another chef makes pasta to order, while another four chefs work on the hot-food section where there might be a choice of sirloin steak, slow-roasted beef and dukkah-crumbed barramundi. There's also a yoghurt bar and sandwich bar. Years ago, I would have told you that pasta was the most common food consumed by tennis players, but this may no longer be true. Proteins such as chicken and red meats play an increasingly important part in their diets. There are many players who prefer gluten-free, notably Novak Djokovic. The Player Cafe is very busy, but it's the only kitchen that gets quieter as the tournament progresses; there are only two players left at the end!
For the fans
People expect more than your average pie or sausage roll, and rightly so. We aim to have the best burgers and the tastiest hot dogs. We're even introducing a 12-hour, slow-roasted, grass-fed beef leg to the menu, which will be served in a pumpkin rye roll. So there will be sandwiches and seafood and everything in between, including lamingtons shaped like tennis balls.
Fuelling the players
What knocks me over with the tennis players is the portion sizes. Some of them have been known to lose up to eight kilograms in a game, so food really is their fuel. The players go through about 3500 bowls of pasta (above) during the Open. Many have their own chefs, but we accommodate most in the Player Cafe. All players get a booklet detailing the ingredients and energy content of all the dishes on offer.
My tool kit
My staff often laugh and ask me why I carry a knife; due to the scale of the event, I do more talking and testing than I ever do chopping. Despite this, I always have my Furi knife with me: it's the cleanest, shiniest tool in the kitchen. It was given to me when I worked in Cairns soon after I came to Australia. I am also blessed with a very loud voice, and I find this extremely useful. I'm often told to "keep it down" by front-of-house staff. I'd also be lost without my Convotherm oven (above) for slow-braising.
The staples
I love extra virgin olive oil and use Jingilli (from Western Australia). Being German, I am crazy about bread, and this year I'm introducing organic, old-style Brasserie Bread (above) to our a la carte corporate restaurant, Blu. Fresh herbs are also incredibly important, and every dish will include them.

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) -- A southeastern Ohio woman could face life in prison after pleading guilty to killing her 4-year-old stepdaughter.
Investigators in Athens County said 26-year-old Ashley Young choked the girl and slammed her head into the floor of their home in May 2011. A prosecutor said Young also tried to buy illegal drugs on her way to the hospital after Kalyen Young had been transported for treatment.
The Athens Messenger (http://bit.ly/VqHjTX ) reports that prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole for 20 years in exchange for Young's guilty plea to charges including aggravated murder.
Athens County Prosecutor Keller Blackburn said the plea resolves the matter without the family having to go through a trial.
Young will be sentenced next month.

DETROIT - Local 4 is inside the courtroom for the federal corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Kilpatrick's dad Bernard Kilpatrick and his childhood friend Bobby Ferguson. Each day we bring you information from inside federal court as it happens.
So, Tuesday morning the government will be continuing with FBI agent Bob Beeckman. The FBI agent has testified at various points in the trial and I have come to equate his presence with the introduction of a slew of incriminating text exchanges that I struggle madly to keep up with.
Kwame and Bernard Kilpatrick are seated and ready at the defendants' table. Bobby Ferguson has just come in and taken his seat.
Seems that the prosecution is saying that they have 9 more days of witness testimony and the general expectation is that the whole trial should be over by the end of February.
9:08AM Judge Nancy Edmunds comments to jurors how bad traffic was this morning.
U.S. Attorney Mark Chutkow questions FBI agent Beeckman.
Text exchange on October 2nd and 3rd 2003
Anwunah: Did you get the number? If not the number is XXXX. Let me know when you've faxed it.
Anwunah was a supervisor in the Rec Department
Ferguson: Let me know when you have the letter with you.
Anwunah: It's in my hotel room.....
Ferguson: I am going to see the boss today....
Anwunah: Ok I will fax as possible also i would like us to talk things over and brainstorm this.
Ferguson: OK
Apparently this is a reference to the fee dispute with Walbridge.
Missed most of this exchange. Chutkow flew over it too quickly for me. I wish he would keep those texts up just a little longer.
Looking at meeting minutes from Walbridge and Ferguson Enterprises from April 22nd 2004. Meeting held at Walbridge job site. Ferguson objected to a bid opening.
Text on April 22nd 2004
Same day as the previous minutes
Ferguson: Baby creek i told you I would call on you when I needed help. help, f***ing victor, i dont need dwsd to sit on the bid opening.
Mayor: Will call in 30 minutes
Ferguson: Thanks but dont call in the meeting with Walbridge now. i find you later.
Looking at summary of payments from Walbridge to Ferguson on Baby Creek. Contract is 748, Baby Creek. Total paid to Ferguson is $13.5 million.
9:19AM Ferguson's lawyer Mike Rataj doing the cross.
Rataj introduces a bid tabulation summary for Baby Creek. Beeckman says he saw it this morning. Beeckman agrees that it was a low bid contract and that there were equalization credits to be applied.
Walbridge's bid after equalization was $69 million.
Looking at Walsh construction. Before equalization they had the lowest bid but after equalization it was $71 million.
Looking at other contractor equalized bids which are also shown to be higher than Walbridge's.
Email from Walbridge executive Ron Hausmann at Walbridge on February 6th 2003 the day of the bid openings.
A juror just asked Rataj to speak into the microphone.
In the email, Hausmann opines this is going to be a dog fight because everyone wants the $73 million contract. Gerald Evelyn introduced this email yesterday.
More juror questions.
Looking at another document we have already seen. From Daniel Edwards of DWSD to a Scott Penrod of Walbridge. Penrod was second VP at Walbridge under Hausmann. In this, Edwards advises Penrod they were the lowest bidder.
Now looking at Walsh's protest letter. Beeckman says he saw this document this morning before court. From February 11th 2003. Addressed to Audrey Jackson at the Purchasing Division of Detroit Finance Department. There is a whole lot of legalese in the letter. Basically Walsh objects to the awarding of the contract to Walbridge and formally files a protest.
9:30AM Series of emails we saw yesterday between Daniel Edwards of Contracts and Grants and Gary Fujita, his boss, of the DWSD. They are talking about protests filed by Walsh, L. D'Agostinin and W3/Barton Marlow.
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) had an enforced deadline of March 1st 2003 for the Baby Creek project.
Dan Edwards's email to Gary Fujita. Mentioning that Audrey Jackson has consulted her attorneys and will be rendering a decision that same week so delays will not be as long as thought. Ultimately, Jackson found Walbridge to still be the lowest equalized bidder.
Now looking at a document from February 18th 2003 between Dan Edwards and John McGrail and other DWSD engineers. Regarding the Baby Creek project, document shows the batting order of the equalized bids after Jackson considered the protests. Walbridge still at the top.
This is a memo from Victor Mercado of the DWSD on Baby Creek initial bid opening postponement due to an infringement claim. From October 2012 to February 6th 2003. Says that if the Patton Park issue hadn't occurred, the DWSD could have proceeded through the regular channels of Water Board and City Council and not used the Special Administratorship. But timing was of the essence, so they went via Kilpatrick's Special Administrator Order. Beeckman concurring with all of this.
Now looking at the Special Administrative Order for Baby Creek, 748. It was signed by Kilpatrick in April 2003.
Now looking at the texts from yesterday where Anwunah asks Ferguson what he thinks about Walbridge's request for a 5% fee and Ferguson's response is less than enthusiastic to put it mildly.
Ferguson: Hell no thats 5% they are crazy.....
Beeckman concedes that it is not unusual to have a conversation like this.
Now looking at Bernard Parker email on February 12th 2003 internally to Walbridge where he says he was trying to find out from Daniel Edwards what Audrey Jackson might doing with the protests.
Looking at Baby Creek bid form signed by Penrod of Walbridge on February 6th 2003, the day of the bid opening.
Juror asks to see the signature page again.
Looking at a number of allowances for Baby Creek. Beeckman agrees that the deadline the DWSD was under related specifically to the Baby Creek portion. The bulk of contract 748 was a DWSD contract. $10 million set aside for Patton Park. Total amount is more than $73 million.
Now looking at the handwritten agreement between Ferguson Enterprises and Walbridge. Signed by Keith Merritt of FEI and Penrod of Walbridge on February 14th 2003. A valentine's agreement! This is the agreement where Walbridge promised to cut in Ferguson if they got the contract. Shows that he would get the $10 million for the Patton Park portion.
9:50AM Ferguson was objecting to 5% that Walbridge wanted of the $10 million. Rataj says that Walbridge wanted $500,000 for doing nothing.
Beeckman disagrees.
Beeckman saying a 5% fee is a standard fee on those types of contracts because they are the managers.
Beeckman agrees that Ferguson Enterprises got $10 million for Patton Park.
Rataj says FEI would only have been left with $9.5 million to do the Patton Park project if they paid Walbridge the 5% fee.
Looking at a Walbridge change order for Baby Creek. Walbridge seems to want a release from FEI on the project. Rataj says Patton Park is FEI's responsibility. Beeckman agrees.
"That's what it says," says Beeckman.
Looking at DWSD construction change authorization.
A design consultant is being paid more than $700,000 out of the $10 million. Walbridge ended up with something more like a 2.5% fee. There was also a general conditions' fee.
Rataj says the amount available for construction was $10 million minus about $2.5 million for the 3 combined deductions so the left over was about $7.5 million.
Jurors asking to see the document again. It's like the third time today that the jurors want to see a document. They are really paying attention this morning.
Letter from Brian Cruickshank of Walbridge to Bobby Ferguson. This is where Walbridge saying that they were "strongly persuaded by highly placed city officials" to take on Ferguson despite his not being the lowest bidder. Letter on October 1 2003.
New letter is on October 15th 2003 and is again from Cruickshank to Ferguson. Beeckman says that it looks like it is supposed to be from Cruickshank but it doesn't look like he signed it. Beeckman says that Walbridge was alarmed by the first letter sent out by Cruickshank to Ferguson so they drafted a new letter to ameliorate the damage done but it's unclear whether Cruickshank agreed to sign it.
Doesn't look like Cruickshank signed it. In it, it says that Cruickshank was in error in some of his statements. Says that Ferguson was actually hired because he is a qualified contractor. Also says Walbridge responsible for testing contaminated diert and Cruickshank supposedly takes ownership of errors that he made.
Again with the handwritten agreement where Rataj points to a section which describes excavation.
10:15AM Just a reminder we will be ending at noon today and Friday. Judge Edmunds never explained why.
Beeckman describing Walbridge's internal review on sub-contractors of Baby Creek and it's a spreadsheet comparing their amounts.
Looking at bids for mass excavation from the sub-contractors. Looking specifically at WPM where there is no bid amount listed. Now for structural site work again no base bid number listed for WPM.
Rataj says Ferguson was awarded under Baby Creek the mass excavation work but did not get the sewer work. Beeckman says he does not about that because these are bids submitted at the beginning. Handwritten document shows $2.73 million for the mass excavation work for Ferguson.
Rataj asks if Beeckman has proof here today that Ferguson Enterprises did sewer work. Beeckman says he can't answer one way or another. Doesn't know.
Beeckman also doesn't know if Ferguson did site work on Baby Creek.
Rataj asks if Ferguson Enterprises was lowest bidder on mass excavation. Beeckman says that there is no number for WPM so he can't say for sure.
Beeckman saying that Ferguson's estimate is 23% higher on the mass excavation just like Cruickshank said in his October 1st letter.
Beeckman says he doesn't know what kind of work Ferguson got in the end. He knows only what Hausmann promised the city he was giving Ferguson.
"I'm not interested in speculation Mr. Beeckman. You can't convict people on speculation," says Rataj.
Beeckman asks Rataj to hand him the document so he can show him what he means. Rataj doesn't hand it over. He did hold the documents up and shake them for the jury though.
Rataj asks if there is a number on the top or bottom for WPM.
"Not on that page," says Beeckman.
10:27AM 20 minute break.
10:50AM Rataj brings up another text message introduced yesterday between Ferguson and Kwame on October 1st 2003.
Beeckman says this is the same day as letter from Cruickshank.
Ferguson: If gary torgo calls about meah not calling him back its because of him not paying fei for the parking garage.
Mayor: Cool. How much does he owe:
Ferguson: Its his team they are disputing 57,0000.00 for work we performed on mack and woodward. typical white folk shit. when we talk i tell what walbridges...
Rataj says Torgo is a private developer who has nothing to do with Baby Creek. Beeckman agrees.
Rataj says didn't you interview Torgo on December 18th 2012. Beeckman asks to see the form to refresh his memory. Looks at it and agrees.
"Where you trying to mislead the jury," asks Rataj about using the text to correlate it with Baby Creek.
Beeckman says no he is not trying to mislead jury. There is a portion of the text that refers to Walbridge.
Another jury question about the spelling of Amru Meah.
Rataj says he had some government notes on Torgo to determine if Walbridge was involved with the parking garage.
Beeckman says he interviewed Torgo via telephone.
Discussing the 302, FBI interview form.
Beeckman looks at form says it's from May 4th 2012 and not December and it's not his notes.
Beeckman says when he talked to Torgo they didn't discuss.
Beeckman says he knows that Ferguson is talking about parking garage but doesn't know if Walbridge has anything to do with it.
Rataj hands Beeckman his 302 from interview with Torgo last December. Beeckman agrees they were discussing the timeframe of October 2003 in the interview.
Rataj says earlier this morning Chutkow showed payments from Walbridge to Ferguson on Baby Creek. Correct says Beeckman.
Looking at an application for payment on the Patton Park Recreation Center to Walbridge aldinger from Ferguson Enterprises. It's application #1. Basically a request for payment on the project. looking at a sume to KEO & Associates for $295,000 and another to a fencing company for more than $11,000.
Now looking at a similar application for payment from Ferguson to Walbridge. It's number 26. Rataj says that a lot of money went out to other contractors in regards to Patton Park: Bayview Electric.....
Bottom line says Rataj line is that out of $13 million, more than $10 million went to pay contractors other than Ferguson. Beeckman agrees.
Looking at September 11th text message between Ferguson and Kwame.
The long and the short of it is that Ferguson is letting Kwame know in the exchange that John Rakolta of Walbridge has been trying to get a meeting with the mayor. Bernard Parker III has been offering to help put the meeting together.
Beeckman says it looks like Walbridge thinks that Parker can get to the mayor through Ferguson.
Beeckman says this is evidence that the mayor couldn't get a meeting with the mayor at this particular time.
11:10AM Rataj introduces from the mayor's calendar on February 10 2007. Meeting scheduled at 6pm with Rakolta at Manoogian Mansion.
Rataj says Beeckman asked Parker specifically about the text message. Rataj said that he was trying to help Rakolta get meeting with the mayor. Beeckman agrees.
Rataj says that Walbridge is large corporation that has been around for a long time. Beeckman agrees.
Beeckman confirming that Walbridge worked on the Compuware building.
Rataj listing people like Peter Karmanos and Ted Gatzaros who had access to the mayor.
Rataj saying that relationships a big part of business.
Soave had friendships with former mayors Coleman Young and Archer. Beeckman agrees.
Rataj says that Soave testified that it was a good feeling to have relationships with politicians. Beeckman says he recalls Soave saying something like that.
Rataj says steering of relationships is a function of relationships. Beeckman questions that.
Rataj brings up Avinash Rachmale of Lakeshore Engineering having relationships within the DWSD.
"We need to confine this," says Judge Edmunds about line of questioning.
Rataj says Soave testified that construction is not for the faint of heart. Beeckman agrees with that. But doesn't recall when Rataj says he said about sharpening elbows to get people out of the way.
Rataj is done.
11:19AM Chutkow redirects.
Text between Bobby and Kwame.
Ferguson: Yes he is. Bernard Parker work for walbridge now basically because of them not being able to talk to you they think he can help the situation, we can use this to our advantage. he call me to say rakolta secretary can get a re...
Beeckman says that "we" is Ferguson and Kwame.
Looking at the internal Walbridge document ranking sub-contractor bids. this is the document that Rataj wouldn't hand him. Beeckman says if you take sewer work and mass excavation pages and add it together and comes up with number at the bottom of the page. That total bid number is 23% higher than WPM's like Cruickshank said in his letter.
Cruickshank was project manager on Baby Creek. In his letter he had said that Ferguson was 4th lowest responsive bidder, 23% higher than the lowest WPM.
Again, reading Cruickshank's letter saying that they gave Ferguson work at the urging of "highly-placed city officials" and that if anyone should complain it's WPM who saw their work shrink by 31% due to work given to Ferguson Enterprises.
Parker testified that as a result of his conversation with Derrick miller urging them to use Ferguson, they drew up the unsusual handwritten agreement from Valentine's Day 2003.
Beeckman says that the standard percentage that the manager would get is 5% but Walbridge got more like 3.5%.
Those were some quick deadly blows to the defense.
11:28AM Rataj redirects.
Rataj says that the $10 million on Patton Park fell squarely on Ferguson Enterprises. Beeckman says FEI was just a sub-contractor on the project.
Beeckman says he doesn't think it's true that Walbridge took $350,000 for doing nothing.
Ferguson just spilled his glass of water all over the defendants' table.
Back to the handwritten agreement. Rataj says you have no information that FEI did sewer or sote work. Beeckman says he knows they bid on it.
"You can't convict someone in this country based on speculation," argues Rataj again.
Rataj showing Walbridge's internal comparison review of sub-contractors. Says again there is no number for WPM.
Rataj asks if Ferguson's numbers are the lowest bids due to the numbers on the top line.
"I think you're wrong," says Beeckman because he know that WPM put in a bid on mass excavation.
"You cannot tell from that what is the lowest bidder because there is no number for WPM," says Beeckman.
Rataj brings up he text exchange between bobby and Kwame regarding the attempt to set up a meeting with Rakolta. Rataj says he showed there was a meeting scheduled with Rakolta and Kwame on February 10th 2007.
Rataj asks if he knew what was said in the meeting.
"I wasn't there so I have no idea what was said at the meeting," says Beeckman.
Beeckman is done but now we have another federal agent. EPA agent Carol Paszkiewicz.
11:36AM Like Beeckman, the EPA agent has been on the stand multiple times.
Discussing Inland Waters sewer contract 1368. Talking about sinkhole in sterling Heights 2004.
Previously admitted text messages. Chutkow says this is addressing her previous testimony.
September 1 2004 between Kwame and Ferguson.
Kwame: You got to get with victor on this terling heights job. He said you were meeting him out here.
This was sent at 1:15PM. the agent says per his agenda Kwame was scheduled to be at the sinkhole between 1 and 2pm.
Exchange on September 1st and 2nd 2004 between former mayor and Ferguson.
Ferguson: We need to meet on how I move in. I got a great idea sir. holla in the am. owe gemo my answer service (lol) wants me to do some hauling.
Ferguson first got to sinkhole site on September 14th 2004, about 2 weeks after text exchanges.
Tuesday September 14th 2004 document, this is based on an interview on the sinkhole repair. The agent says this is the record she based her testimony on. It mentions when Ferguson moved his equipment to the site at 6PM.
The sewer collapse was on August 22nd 2004. The defense introduced an exhibit when cross examining the witness that stated that Ferguson showed up onsite the next day. The document was a Ferguson Enterprises work site record. Paszkiewicz says this was inconsistent with what she had seen in her research.
The agent says she hesitated because firstly, the date. And then she took a better look at the document when she left the stand and had other concerns. She says she had seen this type of records in other parts of of her investigation.
Rataj quickly stands up and asks for a sidebar. Likely he is a little nervous about where the government is going with this.
Zoom in on Kwame and Bobby talking to each other quite passionately.
Sidebar over. Paszkiewicz says she wanted to investigate further because typically they have a number that is a unique identifier and the defense exhibit was missing it.
Judge explaining to the jury that the witness is not an expert on document authenticity. Also says she can only testify with respect to her investigation and info in documents themselves.
Witness says there is also typically a date. Paszkiewicz attempts to show on the document where the date would be.
Defense objects again and back to sidebar.
This is getting really interesting. Seems that the prosecution is hinting at defense exhibit tampering. Question is who are they insinuating did it, the defense lawyers or the defendant?
11:53AM Judge Edmunds says this matter is more complicated than anticipated. Seems counsel is going to hash this out in judge's chambers except for Rataj who has to leave for "family matter."
Also, the judge gives the heads up that people should arrive to the courthouse early because 160 jurors will are anticipated tomorrow morning.
Court resumes tomorrow at 9AM.

As Seen on TV
de Raymond St. Arnaud
Acerca del libro
I have been fascinated by television imagery since my first viewing of test patterns in the front display window of a small town hardware store.
I eventually transferred that interest to ways of reproducing the effect on paper while a student in Fine Arts. Eventually, I succumbed to investigating the concept through image editing software on a computer.
The original photographs were color negatives or color slides that date back to the 1970s through to the 1990s. They are part of a life project of capturing images as they present themselves. The images were selected as being appropriate to the thought that being seen on TV is validation; of the moment, the place, the experience. The Chair of Final Remorse was exhibited at 'Siggraph 2003' in San Diego.

Lady Flames Fall at Home to Marshall, 6-1
The Liberty women's tennis team saw its four-match winning streak come to an end on Saturday, as the visiting Marshall Thundering Herd defeated the Lady Flames 6-1 at the Hershey Tennis Courts.
The loss drops Liberty to 10-8 (6-2 Big South) on the season, with two matches remaining. Marshall evens its record at 10-10 overall for the year.
In doubles play, Liberty's Cameron Richard and Valerie Thong doubled up Dana Oppinger and Kai Broomfield, 8-4, for their 11th win of the season. However, Marshall took the doubles tally with wins in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions. Dominika Zaprazna and Kara Kucin defeated the Lady Flames' Rebekah Jenkins and Nicola Wellman, 8-1, before Ellie Ball and Maria Voscekova downed Jessie Boda and Brittany Yang, 8-4.
Thong tallied Liberty's lone point of the afternoon with a straight-set win in the No. 4 singles position against Broomfield, 6-2, 6-0. It was Thong's fifth consecutive victory and 10th overall on the year.
"Once again Valerie has shown that she is very confident in both singles and doubles at this point in the season," commented Liberty head coach Jeff Maren. "Coach [Giancarlo] Lemmi and I are very pleased with her consistency on the court. She is becoming someone that we can count on for a point."
The Thundering Herd collected straight-set wins in the No. 3, 5 and 6 spots. Ball downed Yang, 6-2, 6-2, while Voscekova dealt Wellman her first singles loss in five matches, 6-1, 6-2. The clinching point of the afternoon came when Kucin ousted the Lady Flames' Annisha Domenech, 6-3, 6-0.
Jenkins and Richard both pushed their respective opponents to three sets, but fell short. Zaprazna defeated Jenkins, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, before Oppinger closed the match with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 win versus Richard.
"This match was an uphill battle for us from the start," stated Maren. "Marshall is a deep team top to bottom and they are very well coached. These matches are opportunities for us to improve and I certainly saw improvement today."
Tomorrow, Liberty will wrap up its home slate against Big South leader Charleston Southern at 1 p.m., in its final conference match of the year.

YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio (AP) -- A western Ohio restaurant is trying to help a patron get his pet chicken back.
Peach's Bar and Grill in Yellow Springs has offered a $100 reward for the safe return of the pet named "Falcon," with no questions asked. It says a customer tucked the live chicken into his backpack when he came in to watch a band perform Jan. 5. But he says the pack with his chicken was stolen.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/11n6TO4 ) reports that the customer said the chicken was his traveling companion. No other information was immediately available Friday.

Women for Women Ohio (W4WO ) is a group of 10 area professionals--Sally Missimi, Stacy Yaniglos, Fran Gote, Suzanne Frank, Janet Dix, and Sharon Irwin from Kent along with Ruth Andrews (Hudson), Judy Hirschman (Stow), and Nancy Docherty (Streetsboro). Organized by Helen Gregory, who is retired from careers with Kent State University and then Western Reserve Academy, the creation of Women for Women Ohio was inspired by "Half the Sky, Turning Oppression into Opportunity," a book co-written by New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, that chronicles the plight of women and girls in areas around the world.
Among its findings are the revelation that two-thirds of the world's 781 million illiterate adults are women, that 70 percent of the world's poor are women and girls, that women earn less than 10 percent of the world's wages although they work more than two-thirds of the world's working hours, and that 75 percent of girls not enrolled in primary school are from ethnic minorities or very poor families. On the bright side, the findings showed that women reinvest 90 percent of their income in their families.
The authors also discovered one study after another showing the education of girls and women is one of the most effective ways of combating poverty, and this became the focus for W4WO. With research, the group linked up with the nonprofit organization Friendship with Cambodia, which has extensive experience in Cambodia and an excellent scholarship program.
Raising money for the scholarship program plus learning through study about Cambodia became the goal, and annually for three years Women for Women Ohio has had a variety of fundraising events. Success of those efforts has led to the development of the April 4-6 "Office to Evening" clothing sale at the Fairways.
Wanting to see for themselves the results of money they have raised and donated, five of the 10 women in the local Women for Women Ohio group, along with two husbands and a friend, late last year visited Cambodia on a 16-day journey at their own expense that took them into the ancient Southeast Asian country on a boat proceeding from Chau Doc, Vietnam, up the Mekong River to Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital.
In Phnom Penh, the women met their six young ladies from rural areas, all able to attend university because of scholarships that W4WO had provided. They visited apartments rented for the girls--small rooms without furniture, shared by four to six students, all sleeping on one mat. Cooking was done over a small, portable charcoal stove in each apartment, neither of which had a private bathroom. Bars were on the windows, and each girl's few possessions and a small duffle of clothing were stowed in the corner.
Despite hardships, the Cambodian women appeared proud of attending college and determined to finish their education. With the cost of living low, scholarships of $1,500 per year for each of the university students support expenses of living, transportation, and the acquisition of books and materials.
The W4WO group also toured Tuol Sieng Prison and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, a memorial to the Cambodian genocide undertaken in the mid-1970s by the Khmer Rouge, following the departure of the American forces. In the space of a few short years, the Khmer Rouge, seeking to remake the nation, killed an estimated 25 percent of its population, targeting the educated and well off. The Vietnamese, wary of Chinese expansionism and disgusted by the Khmer Rouge, invaded and drove them from power. The country has struggled since, far behind its neighbors, but is now stable.
After a short stay in Phnom Penh, a six-hour drive over a washed-out road bordered by rice fields brought the travelers to the rural Sandan District, where they were able to visit seven of the 11 students they are helping and the local high school. There they encountered a community of houses on stilts to provide security during the monsoons, water buffalo meandering along the road, and motorbikes puffing along with a variety of cargo that included live pigs.
Utilizing the services of a translator, they visited the home of one of the students, a one-room house on stilts, where the girl's mother told us she was proud that her daughter is able to attend high school and determined that her daughter will have a better life. The family's home lacked furniture, and cooking was done in the corner. One could see through the slats in the floor the ducks and chickens rooting around on the ground beneath. The visitors learned there was no electricity in the village, no running water and no bathroom. There are no local health centers. With transportation limited to bicycles or walking, several of the students who live far away must resort to living with relatives or friends nearer the school.
Despite the many challenges, Helen Gregory, the chair of Women for Women Ohio, believes that investing in the education of young women in Cambodia is worthwhile. "Educating these young women will change their lives for the better, and eventually the lives of others in Cambodia," she said. "They will get better jobs, marry later, have fewer children, and in many cases return to their communities to help others."
The group presses on, raising funds, studying the lives of Cambodians, confident their efforts will improve life in Cambodia. For more information, visit www.w4wo.org.

Wireless car charging will take a small step forward early next year as New York University installs roadway-based magnetic resonance chargers that look like manhole covers.
The chargers, weighing approximately 50 pounds apiece, will be embedded in the pavement and sit flush with the roadway. Electric vehicles that park above them will be able to recharge at power levels as high as 10 kW, meaning that a large plug-in hybrid battery could theoretically be refilled from 20 percent to 80 percent in as little as an hour.
"What we're making here is the fueling station of the future," Steven Monks, chief operating officer of HEVO Power , told Design News. "Drivers don't want to get out of their cars to charge up when it's raining. And many aren't comfortable holding a 240V line. This works better with their expectations of electric vehicle technology."
The Polytechnic Institute of New York University will use the devices to recharge the school's electric security vehicles. The charger package consists of transmitter and receiver units, including coils, capacitor banks, inverters, converters, and printed circuit boards. Transmitters will be located in glass composite containers in the roadway, while receiver units will be housed onboard the electric vehicles. The devices will recharge the batteries of parked EVs across an air gap via a magnetic field.
HEVO Power, a start-up launched in 2011, designed the chargers to be convenient and to offer the shortest possible charge times. Maximum power is 10 kW, but that figure varies from vehicle to vehicle. While some vehicles can charge at 10 kW, others operate as low as 1 kW to 2 kW. Charging times will therefore vary widely -- from an hour to many hours -- depending upon the operating power and the size of the vehicle's battery.
"Our target was 10 kW," Monks told us. "To have a really functional system, you've got to deliver at that rate."
Executives at HEVO Power said they expect to install more of the units around New York City. City officials like the idea of wireless charging, Monks told us. "City representatives thought that plug-in stations would not be tenable," he said. "In terms of liability, you have a plug-in cord dangling on the sidewalk. You have kiosks that clutter the area. And the units are subject to vandalism." Wireless charging systems have none of those issues, he said.
HEVO also expects to sell the technology to commercial fleets for so-called "green loading zones." There, delivery trucks could recharge during loading and unloading, theoretically packing as much as 10 kWh into the battery during a one-hour stop.
Although the chargers at New York University will look like manhole covers, that won't always be the case, Monks said. "They could be circular or rectangular or whatever the application calls for," he told us. "The shape will ultimately be driven by the needs of the customer."

This is my first hotdog in over a year and a half. So I was a little bit nervous about trying one again. I decided to make my Woo Doggie! this time. Here are the ingredients:
Set to go, so let's head out to the pit and hot smoke these with hickory. Gotta luv smoky bacon dogs. Interestingly, the LA area has adopted bacon wrapped dogs as its official signature dog.
What do you say we go deluxe and decadent with this one. We better break out the extra grande tortillas for this one. And let's start hitting it with globs of yellow mustard and chopped red jalapenos.
Perhaps add some Wolf's chili (Texas approved Griff!) and onions.
And top it all off with cheddar chunks and crumbled Frito's corn chips.
Let's roll it up and plate it. BBQ tater chips and more corn chips in the background, drizzled with more chili. Woo Doggie!-- Where's the game?!

A TEENAGER is jetting off to Ghana to undertake volunteer work in a school.
Ruby Wilson, 18, a former Bridgwater College student, is hoping her trip will give her valuable experience in her chosen career of health and childcare.
Ruby, who lives in Broomfield and works as a chef at The Pines Cafe near Spaxton, will be working with global volunteering organisation Projects Abroad.
She said: "I was looking online for volunteering abroad and found Projects Abroad. I went to a meeting in London for more information and a few weeks later got an email saying I was selected.
"I have been a chef for two and half years and I wanted a change. This is a big challenge for me personally. I really hope my trip is a big success."
Ruby has applied to study health and social care at Bristol College and Exeter College and she's hoping her experience helping children in Ghana will help her applications.
Peter Slowe, director of Projects Abroad, said: "We are really pleased Ruby is doing this. Ghana destination are looking forward very much to meeting her - and they definitely want her to bring some pictures of Bridgwater with her."

Luke Ridnour Being Shopped?
I hopped on to trusty old ESPN today and read a little rumor about the Wolves shopping Cool Hand Luke around. According to ESPN, the Jazz, Celtics and Mavericks may be interested in our steady Point Guard. As much as I like Ridnour, I concluded that it would be smart to analyze a few trade scenarios in order to find potential ways of improving our team as a whole.
Luke's contract: 2 years with roughly $4,000,000 per year
Utah Jazz:
There are three players that could realistically work (I wish Hayward, but no way); Randy Foye (1 yr $2,500,000), Raja Bell (1 yr $3,480,000), and Alec Burks (3 yrs and $6,330,000).
The only player that would work straight up is Bell; the others would take a little extra…maybe some cash considerations. I would not be overly excited for any of these three, but I would think Foye is the best of them. He has become a better player since we last saw him in a Wolves uniform and he would bring a 3 point shooter we desperately need. Bell is more known for his defensive services, which is never a bad thing, but we need more than defense. Similarly, Bell and Foye are under the final year of their contract, which is nice to free up cap space for re-signing Pek, which I believe that we should! I have not gotten the opportunity to see Burks play much since being a lottery pick a few years ago, but his shooting this season has been less than adequate. However, he has turned things on this month and has seen his percentages grow incrementally. He has not had many minutes until this month, so appears likely that he is being showcased to the rest of the teams of the NBA.
Overall, my choice for a trade, need it be with Utah, would be Randy Foye. He is a scorer who knows how to play, can handle the ball, and only has one year left on his deal providing the Wolves with more flexibility.
Boston Celtics:
The Celtics are trickier; I would say the Wolves most likely target player is Jason Terry (3 yrs $5,000,000/yr)
The trade would work out financially while bringing the Wolves a compatible player for our offense. However, his lack of size, relatively large salary and aging body worry me. I have long been a big fan of his offensive skill set as he has proven the ability to hit the 3-ball time and time again. However, he appears to be in steady decline as his 3PT% currently sits at .357%, which is his worst 3PT% since his last season with the Hawks back in '03-'04. His contract is an issue, as it takes up more cap space for a longer period then Ridnour, and while Terry can man the 2-guard position (which is by far our greatest need), he is 35 and only stands at 6'2".
If it were my decision, I would pull the trigger on Terry if he were to become available. We would need to run with undersized lineups more frequently, but the presence of the veteran Terry could bring a refreshing change to our backcourt. It could also allow Shved to start with Rubio and we would have two scoring threats in the backcourt off of the bench.
Dallas Mavericks:
As I examine the Mavericks roster, I notice only two players that a trade for Ridnour would financially work for, O.J. Mayo and Vince Carter. Since I have no belief that the Mavs would trade Mayo for Ridnour, I will not even bother to speculate. Carter (2 yrs $3,090,000/yr) is the scoring SG/SF we need who has even improved his defense over the past few seasons while possessing veteran accumen. Carter is currently 36 years of age, but fills multiple needs and is even cheaper than Ridnour.
I would be very enthusiastic should the Wolves somehow land one of Mark Cuban's favorite veterans. Carter has everything we need (minus the age) and is not a huge expense. It will bring almost another million to the table come summer and he still can throw it down when Rubio sends a lob his way.
If the Wolves were to trade Ridnour (who I would hate to see go), I would be most excited towards acquiring one of Foye, Terry or Carter. It is never fun to see a player like Ridnour depart, but his leaving may bring the necessary depth at SG or SF we desperately lack in order to effectively compete in the Western Conference.

Warren and the American Revolution
Trained as a doctor, Joseph Warren rose to prominence as a vocal and active patriot leader prior to the American Revolution. In fact, he was the one who sent William Dawes and Paul Revere off on their famous ride to warn of the movements of the British. Chosen as a major general just a few days before, at the Battle of Bunker Hill Warren declined command of the militia in favor of more experienced officers. He instead fought with and rallied the volunteer troops and while doing so was killed by a shot to the head. He was the first prominent American to die in the war. He was 34 years old.

DETECTIVES have said they will keep looking "for as long as it takes" for a wanted man believed to have been involved in a violent attack at a York pub.
A 32-year-old man was assaulted in the outside smoking area of the Castle Howard Ox, on Townend Street, last November, and York Police want to speak to 21-year-old Ryan MacLeod about the crime.
MacLeod is also wanted for recall to prison after breaching the terms of his release licence. He is believed to have Manchester links and officers have checked known addresses in the city and York, but have not yet tracked him down.
"If MacLeod thinks we are going to stop looking for him, he is very much mistaken – in fact, it is quite the opposite and we will keep looking until we find him, no matter how long it takes," said Det Insp Dave Kirby.

Andrew has qualified as a Bikeability instructor and delivers training at our local primary school donating any fees to the school cycling club to purchase parts, where children who have unsafe bikes can have them repaired free of charge. Andrew does this work himself. Alongside the club, he also runs a program that helps children ride without stabilizers. He has given up his time from work to qualify and start the school cycling club.
Last Easter he started bike rides on a Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings for riders of all ages and abilities after placing adverts in the local paper. These rides start from the local secondary school. He then advertised for bikes to be donated so that the school would have a pool of bikes to enable them to have cycling on their curriculum. Most of the bikes had to be repaired which with no budget he would break one bike up to use the parts to repair the others. The school now has 10 bikes to start cycle training.
The school is on the National cycle route 45. Andrew is the liaison volunteer ranger along the route from Bridgnorth to Stourport-on-Severn. He has helped two local secondary schools to become rangers to help with their Duke of Edinburgh award. Andrew has achieved all this after having both his knees operated on in January 2009 which he is still undergoing treatment.

This summer, I lived vicariously through David Rocco as he traversed Italy for three weeks to work on his second cookbook and scout locations for the next season of David Rocco's Dolce Vita. Every day I'd check his Facebook fan page for the next mouth-watering update as David cooked and ate his way through Sicily, the Amalfi Coast and Florence.
If you happen to be planning a trip to Italy (or even dreaming about one in the future), take note—David often provides addresses and phone numbers for his favorite restaurants, cafes, pizzerias and enotecas (wine bars). Here are some delicious snippets from David's most recent travels:
"Last meal at Villa Maria in Ravello before we head up to Florence. In true style they send us off right with an amazing meal. Risotto con zucca e cozze and their amazing Lemon Profiterol, and of course the Professore's home made limoncello."
"Spent the afternoon with my Pal Dario Cecchini. His Mac Dario Hamburgers rock! He is the butcher from the season 4 episode 'Viva La Cicca'. Go eat meat at his place. It's the best!"
"Having breakfast at my favorite place in Florence. Cibreo Caffe Firenze. It's next to mercato Sant' Ambrogio. Great cappuccino e biscotti… as well as a good place for lunch." Sidenote: This cafe was a favorite haunt of mine, too, during a summer studying abroad in Florence.
"The Florence food tour continues….Lunch was at Enoteca Fuori Porta for their crostoni. Such a simple concept… and so many to choose from! I had two, pancetta e scamorza and brie with walnuts and honey, and then to finish lunch some Cantucci con il Vin Santo." I can also vouch for this one! An excellent wine bar right on the Arno river. Dying to go back…Right. Now.
"Eat eat eat! My hosts Paolo e Gioia Galli and some friends decided to invite some friends over for some Pizza tonight. Buffalo mozzarella, salumi e various types of pizza. And for dessert Pizza con la Nutalla. Mmmm!"
Hungry now? Catch David Rocco's Dolce Vita on Saturdays at 12:30pm/11:30c. Inspired by all of David's amazing Italian meals? Try some of his top recipes.

Nebraksa Offensive Philosophy
As I read Milt Tenopir's The Assembly Line, I quickly began to understand the point of their offense, at least from a running game stand point, and it's something I've preached on this blog, and that is recycling blocking schemes. Recycling blocking schemes is a fantastic tactic because that is the heaviest aspect of your offense. You not only save the burden on your kids mentally from a scheme stand point, but you save time mentally and from a time aspect by only having to teach so many bloocking techniques. While you may have to change up one or two for each play, the main point is the same for those involved in the blocking scheme. This post discusses the Nebraska Dive Option, which uses Milt Tenopir's Outside Zone scheme.
Nebraska Dive Option
The Nebraska Dive Option follows this similar mentality of recycling blocking schemes. Milt Tenopir's offense utilized the inside zone and outside zone blocking schemes effectively. While their technique and strategy was unique to what many zone offenses are today, the point is the same. Especially on outside zone, they had uncovered and covered rules.
Nebraska Dive Option – Covered and Uncovered Outside Zone Rules
On Nebraska Outside Zone Plays, the covered linemen stepped to outflank their defender with a flat step (they don't step back, it's specifically mentioned as a flat step). The uncovered linemen aims with his first foot at his covered linemen's defender, and his second step aims directly behind his playside foot. This enables that offensive linemen to stop a slant by the defender, work the double team if he plays straight up on the covered offensive linemen, or work to the linebacker level, which is where he actually thinks he'll end up. The only difference between the Nebraska Dive Option and the Nebraska Outside Zone play is the read. They will let the EMOLOS go so he can be read, which I will cover next, especially to the split end side. If they have two edge players, then they will read the furthest out no matter what. However, if they're running the play to the tight end side, they like to read the secondary force player. So that is the only tricky part to the play, and maybe where we as play callers may either make it into 2 very similiar plays, or have to rep the rules a lot.
Nebraska Dive Option: The Dive
On the Nebraska Dive Option, it's actually a 2 man option game. This means that only two players ar involved in the option, and believe it or not it's not the dive back (in this case, the fullback). The fullback dive is a fake and after the fake he turns into an extra blocker. The point is to hold the linebackers and let your two fastest playmakers, your quarterback and the pitch back, in this case the "I-Back" or tailback, get to the outside as they hesitate. This also opens up blocking angles for your offense.
Nebraska Dive Option: The Read
The read is simple. As I mentioned earlier, to the split side they always read the EMOLOS, to the tight end side they like to read the secondary force. They will read that player if he is on the outside of the traditional defensive EMOLOS on the line of scrimmage. If the read takes the QB, he pitches. If the read takes the back, the QB keeps.
Nebraska Dive Option: The Blocking
Because you have installed the outside zone scheme, and you are faking the dive, you are immediately going to put defenders in a bind. Depending on the linebackers primary read, they could very well be out of position, specifically if they're reading the dive back, as many inside linebackers would. The offensive line will have excellent angles given the outside nature of the blocking scheme, which will allow your two option players to get to the edge quickly.
Conclusions on the Nebraska Dive Option
The Nebraska Dive Option is a great play. It's only a 2 man option, which maeans teams who are wearry of a 3 man option attack can still get a lot out of it. I highly suggest it as a simple play to install if you already run plays like Speed option or even just outside zone. It will make fullback plays more effective and hold the linebackers, which is something every option needs to be successful, and it only involves 1 read since the dive is a fake.
Make sure you check out Chief Pigskin for some great videos. Also, click here to begin understanding why running the option can be simple and easy.

Building Owners and Managers Association ( BOMA ) suggests energy conservation and retention can help commercial property managers ride out a tough economy.
Dwindling capital budgets. Old mechanical systems that don't stop aging because the economy is in a recession. Tenants lured away by cheaper lease offers. Buildings in receivership.
While good management practices may have helped position some properties to better withstand the economic turmoil, today they are more important than ever in helping managers find solutions to these problems. That means retaining tenants and keeping a property well maintained, despite fewer dollars.
"Retention is absolutely key in a down market," says Marii Covington-Jones, a real estate manager for CB Richard Ellis' asset services division, and BOMA member.
Covington-Jones manages the Mesa Financial Plaza at 1201 S. Alma School Rd., which is wending its way through receivership. When she began managing the high-rise, it was 75 percent occupied. Today, occupancy is at 50 percent.
Real estate professionals across the Valley are facing similarly declining rates. According to figures from CBRE, the vacancy rate for Metro Phoenix went from 12.62% in 2005 to 26% in 2010.
Declining tenancy rates mean declining dollars.
"The first thing that happens in an economic downturn is your capital budget goes away," says Susan Engstrom, senior real estate manager of The Great American Tower, a 24-story building at 3200 N. Central Ave. Engstrom manages the 25-year-old tower for Tiarna Real Estate Services.
Covington-Jones and Engstrom say good property management practices are helping to shave operating costs and do what it takes to keep tenants.
BOMA – Saving Energy Is Good Business
Covington-Jones estimates that efforts to reduce energy consumption have saved $2 a square foot in the 323,000 SF building. When she began managing the tower, it scored in the 30s on the U.S. government's Energy Star scale. It now scores in the 90s.
Management professionals, particularly those overseeing older buildings, can look into:
- Installing a variable frequency drive on major motors to regulate start-up and start-down based on usage.
- Installing energy-management controls on boxes in each suite, so they can be remotely turned off during non-business hours.
- Establishing programs for after-hours energy use. Covington-Jones says she implemented an "On-demand Saturday" scheduling system, which regulates after-hours usage. "… only using what someone actually needs," she says.
- Getting serious about recycling. Engstrom says taking cardboard out of the trash pickup reduced the tower's trash bill by 35%, from about $1,700 a month to just less than $1,000 a month.
Do What It Takes To Lease
Property managers must continue leasing in a down market, Engstrom says. When ownership recognized that prospective tenants were tightening their budgets, it cut $3 or $4 a square foot from the pro forma lease agreement, helping them continue leasing throughout the previous year. Today, the tower is 83% occupied.
Getting approval for such changes is more difficult when a property is in receivership, Covington-Jones says, but fortunately there are steps a manager can take that don't require outlays of capital or everyone's signature.
It is particularly important to work closely with leasing agents, even joining them on walkthroughs with prospective clients. Covington-Jones says it is wise to walk through "every inch" of a building at least once a month to assess what can be done to a suite to make it more attractive or to ensure it is clean enough to show.
Retention, Retention, Retention
Being responsive to tenants' needs is paramount and doesn't always cost money. That means property managers must be vigilant to avoid the trap of deferred maintenance, Engstrom says. Hiring a good chief engineer is worth the cost, she says, particularly one who knows the building's operating systems inside and out, and has the expertise to keep them maintained.
While it may be more difficult to keep a building clean and secure during lean times, it can be done. Engstrom recommends keeping long-time vendors, such as a janitorial firm, to prevent disruptions to service and having to work through learning curves with new vendors. That may mean a manager has to renegotiate a contract, but good vendors often are willing to do that in order to hold onto business.
If a manager must hire a cheaper contractor for landscaping or cleaning, he or she should insist on monthly inspections.
"Sometimes you may have to be a little more on top of people," Covington-Jones says.
She has had to get creative to lower maintenance costs, even picking up a paintbrush to help spruce up some worn planters. Replacing perennials that needed lots of water with lantana also saved about $4,500 a year.
Being attentive to tenants' needs always has been important, and it doesn't always cost money, Engstrom says. But in today's market, it is one more tool in her arsenal that helps keep the property viable.

What to Wear When You Travel

What to Wear on the Weekend
Just because you�re going to over to a friends to watch the game, or heading out to brunch doesn�t mean you have to sport sloppy attire. Going with a classic casual look will keep you comfortable while making you look like a million bucks.

I recently wrote what I'm referring to as a "private podcast" service for Asterisk. My friends are widely distributed throughout the world. While there are some who are quite convenient to call, like those who are on the West Coast with me, others are much farther away. It's really not that convenient to arrange times to talk to people in London or Singapore when you are in Califoria.
My "pseudopodcast" is an extension on Asterisk that prompts to record a sound file, plays it back, and then e-mails the sound file to a receipient specified by the extension. It's implemented as an AGI script that takes arguments for the sender and receiver. The dialplan has a two-digit receiver extension that specifies the recipient. Caller ID provides the sender identification.
It's a neat idea, and it has helped me stay in touch with several of my friends. The only problem was that I initially was sending out e-mail with the recording truncated. It would sound fine, but it would only be a few hundred kilobytes. It wasn't a big problem because I had the original and I could mail in the traditional manner, but it was a bit annoying to have written all this automation that didn't work.
The first thing I checked was that the file was being recorded OK. That allowed me to trace the problem to the delivery of the e-mail. After reading the documentation for Perl's MIME::Lite module, which I used to create the message with its attachment, I discovered that MIME::Lite doesn't do the encoding on attached files until it's necessary. My first troubleshooting step was to write out the e-mail message that I meant to send to disk. By checking the message on disk, I could see that it looked fine. However, receivers still told me about truncated messages.
As a next step, I sent the e-mail message on to my ISP's mail server. (I only run sSMTP on my Asterisk server because I don't need to receive mail from the Internet.) Even that seemed to work, which validated the SMTP route between my Asterisk server and at least one Internet e-mail host. So, the problem wasn't my ISP arbitrarily truncating the attachment.
What I realized when sending the the message "by hand" from the command prompt is that it takes a long time to send more than a megabyte through base64 encoding and SMTP. The problem was in how my AGI script was implemented. I had assumed that when I called MIME::Lite's $message->send() operation, it would fork a copy of sSMTP and deliver the message. Almost, but not quite. When I hung up, the AGI script would be hung up, and that would kill its child processes. The reason all the attachments were about 500 kB is that was about the limit of my patience.
There's a two-fold fix. One was to have the script call Asterisk's Playtones() application to give me an audio indication that it was still working on sending. The second, and more important part, is to have the AGI script ignore HUP until it's done sending the message. Problem solved!

Four new faces behind podium in Hoover
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 6:49 p.m.

HOOVER, Ala. — The SEC's four new football coaches have shared similar experiences in their short time on the job.
Photo Galleries
Acceptance from the fan base. A sense of excitement over a new start and the promise of better days ahead. Success on the recruiting trail. Positive press.
Early and encouraging momentum.
Mark Stoops (Kentucky), Butch Jones (Tennessee), Gus Malzahn (Auburn) and Bret Bielema (Arkansas) shared another experience Wednesday, getting introduced at SEC Media Days for the first time.
This introduction, of course, signals things are about to change for the league's newbie coaches. Reality is about to set in. The difficult and sometimes overwhelming task of taking over a losing program is about to begin.
It's time to grind in America's toughest and most competitive conference, one that swallowed up their predecessors.
The news conferences of the four new coaches followed a similar theme: They're happy to be here, excited about the opportunity, convinced they can succeed, realistic about expectations that have been soaring this summer.
Even at Kentucky, where basketball is king (and always will be), there is a new excitement about football with the arrival of Stoops, the former defensive coordinator at Florida State and the brother of ultra-successful Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops.
More than 50,000 showed up for the Wildcats spring game. Season ticket sales are up. Expectations have reached perhaps an all-time high.
"It's really, to be honest with you, an uncomfortable situation for me because it's not my style to try and temper those expectations," Stoops said. "I think the educated fan knows where we're at as a program, knows we have a lot of work to do.
"But the flip side of that is I want the excitement. I want them there. I want them to support our players. We plan on going out and competing each and every week. We understand that the challenges are there.
"People are anticipating a good year, because we certainly are. We're not going out there to put all this hard work in to not try to win games."
Stoops is feeling and sensing momentum. So are Jones, Malzahn and Bielema.
The four coaches also are realistic about the fact they are all inheriting SEC programs, and that winning games and keeping the momentum going in the fall is going to be a daunting challenge.
Stoops is taking over a UK team that was 0-8 in the league last season.
"We understand that there's a lot of hard work that lies ahead, but we're embracing that process and working hard each and every day to improve this team," Stoops said. "We need to improve. I think everyone understands that. We have to get better in all areas of our program. We have to continue to build more depth.
"It's our job to develop the players we have and put them in a position to be successful and go out and compete every week. That's what we plan to do."
At Tennessee, Jones has scored some impressive early recruiting victories that have ignited the fan base. He's also taking over a program that's won only one SEC game in each of the last two seasons, has lost eight in a row to rival Florida and must replace most of its offensive skill players.
"What I've told our football team is we've got to focus on the process," Jones said. "We can't worry about the end result right now. We have to focus on the process.
"We have to be a better football team and a better program minute by minute, hour by hour, day to day, month by month. If we just have that focus throughout the course of a long season, we'll like our body of work as the season concludes."
The UT schedule is not kind. Five of the Vols' first eight games are against teams that finished in the top 10 last season.
"It's going to be a great challenge for our football team," Jones said. "It's also going to be a tremendous, tremendous opportunity as well.
"Unfortunately, the situation we're in at Tennessee, we're going to be forced to play some true freshmen. They're going to have to grow up in a hurry."
When Malzahn returned to Auburn earlier this year, he probably didn't recognize the program he helped to a national championship just two years earlier. He was the offensive coordinator on that team and coached Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton.
Malzahn inherits a team that was winless (0-8) in the SEC last season. He doesn't have Newton. In fact, he still doesn't even know who his starting quarterback is going to be only weeks before the start of fall practice.
"The No. 1 thing that our players have to do for us to be successful this year is get our edge back," Malzahn said. "That is the mental and physical toughness, the blue-collar, hard-nosed, hit-you-in-the-mouth Auburn football that's made Auburn great.
"Worry about your teammate, not about yourself. Lose the entitlement issue. History shows if Auburn has their edge, they can compete for championships and win games."
Arkansas is another team looking to recapture its lost edge.
Bielema inherited a 4-8 mess that John L. Smith helped to create in the wake of the sudden firing of Bobby Petrino a little more than a year ago. Before Petrino self-destructed, the Razorbacks were starting to seriously challenge Alabama and LSU in the West.
The hiring of Bielema, a proven winner at Wisconsin, has revived excitement and expectations among Razorback fans.
Bielema said he's going to build from the ground up, starting with establishing tough, physical play on both lines of scrimmage and establish a balanced offense.
"Our goal has been to rush for 210 yards and pass for 210 yards," Bielema said. "If we can do that, we'll have a chance to win a lot of games.
"We have a team that is very hungry and a staff that is very talented. This is a team that comes in with a huge chip on its shoulder. This is a team that has everything it takes to win games."
It is all about winning.
Malzahn said he and the three other new league coaches know what they're getting themselves into.
"You've got to be prepared. You have to have a plan," he said. "The bottom line is you have to be successful. I think all coaches, especially in this league, understand that."
