The Wyoming Women's Antelope Hunt was founded in 2013 by the Wyoming Women's Foundation as a platform for mentoring and developing camaraderie between women.
Hunting is a long-standing Wyoming tradition and a skill that honors our state's cultural roots. Teaching women to hunt can help them feed their families nutritious food and fulfills WYWF's mission of investing in economic self-sufficiency of women.
What is the wage gap in your county?
Wyoming has the third-largest wage gap in the nation: women make 69 cents for every dollar a man makes. Percentages represent the average amount women earn in comparison to average men's earnings, in each county.

The number of organisations with a designated fund for health and wellbeing benefits has risen by a quarter, following a marked increase in stress and other mental health conditions.
According to a survey by Aon Employee Benefits, the proportion of employers that invested in initiatives to promote workplace wellbeing increased from 36% to 42% this year.
Meanwhile, 68% of employers highlighted stress and mental-health-related illnesses within their workforce, compared to 55% last year.
Its Benefits and Trends Survey 2018 also found that examples of employers offering their staff health and wellbeing apps more than doubled, increasing from 21% to 48% this year. The use of virtual GP services also increased with 27% of employers offering them, compared to 16% at the time of 2017's survey.
Aon Employee Benefits' head of healthcare and risk consulting, Mark Witte, said more organisations were considering programmes to help with weight loss, smoking cessation and an increase in physical activity, among other things.
"If there was one defining theme in 2017, it was the growth of and increased focus on corporate wellbeing programmes across several key areas," he said.
"We now see 84% of employers saying that they consider themselves responsible for influencing their employees' health behaviours.
Aon Employee Benefits claimed that organisations were focused on preventative measures, rather than reacting to issues, when looking after their employees' health and wellbeing. Almost half (49%) offered telephone medical services, 48% had a health and wellbeing app available for staff to use, and 42% chose to implement stress reduction techniques.
However, highlighting the potentially high costs associated with wellbeing benefits, the survey found that 43% of organisations introduced limits on the medical plans they offered their staff, whilst 45% considered making changes to their flexible benefits schemes.
It is really interesting that 68% of employers highlighted stress and other mental health related illnesses in their workforce. It would probably be good for an employer to help supply a mental health service for them. That way they could have therapy and would end up working more productively.


Color: Deep bronze hue with medium body and high viscosity. Nose: Slightly pungent, followed by dried chile notes, spices, cinnamon, cocoa, tamarind, and wet wood with light herbal notes adding to the complexity. Taste: Pleasantly sweet, followed by chile with moderate heat and slight acidity. Hints of spices, tamarind, plum, cacao, apple and almonds then subtle notes of fine herbs. A pleasantly lingering pungent taste on the finish.
Wine EnthusiastThough it's made with ancho chiles, this liqueur is modest on the spice scale. Caramel-y brown in the glass, look for a lightly herbaceous aroma similar to root beer and rounded flavors that mix caramel and cocoa with raisin and cinnamon heat, with a faint smokiness on the finish. Particularly harmonious mixed in cocktails with brown spirits like whiskey.


A party of travelers approaches Fort Union Trading Post's main gate in 1851 or 1852. Because drawing paper was in short supply, the post's Swiss clerk Rudolph Friederich Kurz, a formally trained artist, drew several sketches on a single sheet of paper. Here, a sleeping dog appears above the fort.
During Fort Union's thirty-nine years in operation, thousands upon thousands of people with a variety of backgrounds and motivations for visiting walked or rode their horses or wagons through the post's towering green gates. Whether coming here for reasons of employment, trade, or travel, these commingling people from numerous nations spoke a "Babylonian confusion of languages," among them, noted the post's Swiss clerk Rudolph Friederich Kurz, "Assiniboin, Crow, Herantsa [Hidatsa], Cree, Mandan, and even Blackfeet," plus "English, French, Spanish, and German."
Fort Union's work force included employees of many ranks. The bourgeois, or manager, ran the fort, employed workers, oversaw trading, and received a percentage of the profits. The most famous of Fort Union's managers were Kenneth McKenzie, Alexander Culbertson, Edwin T. Denig, James Kipp, and Charles Larpenteur. Clerks assisted the bourgeois by inventorying the goods that came into and accounting for sales and trades as well as doing the trading when the bourgeois needed him to. Other employees included interpreters, hunters, blacksmiths, gunsmiths, tailors, and engages, the men who did the routine labor.
A number of tribes came to Fort Union to trade and establish ties in the region. In fact, although the post was built at the request of the Assiniboine, at least as many as ten different Northern Plains tribes in the Upper Missouri region traded at the fur trade fort.
Many individuals came to Fort Union during its thirty-nine years in operation. Included among them were famous artists, naturalists, and adventurers such as George Catlin, Prince Maximilian of Wied, Karl Bodmer, and John James Audubon. These men and other journeyed up the Missouri River to Fort Union to study the West and the Upper Missouri frontier.

Trevor Larnach is Just Getting Started
Chances are if you picked up Trevor Larnach in a shallower league, you cut him after a couple of weeks due to poor performance. Two weeks in he was running a .186/.314/.326 with just a single homer. A week later he was at .228/.389/.456 so he was still hitting a lot of waiver wires despite some OPS improvement. The walks were great but there was little else in terms of production. Hell, even his .247/.389/.438 to date doesn't scream "pick up!" And yet, that's exactly what I'm doing because I see Larnach having a strong summer that will make him relevant across many formats.
First off, a .247 AVG is better than we think. The fantasy community writ large hasn't made the necessary adjustments on batting averages in terms of what is and isn't useful for our teams. The league AVG of .237 is lowest since 1968 aka The Year of the Pitcher.
There is even a Wiki entry that highlights both 1968 and 2010 as such. That isn't to say that a .247 AVG is helping your fantasy team, but it also isn't hurting you to a degree that the player needs to do a ton elsewhere to counterbalance the AVG drag. Let me just say that those of you in OBP leagues can amplify the Larnach interest substantially as his excellent BB% makes him much better in those formats, even right now while he finds his footing as a big leaguer.
The AVG aside, Larnach's power is why I am so interested in him. It's 30-HR pop with the chance to be more. You might see his .167 ISO as a minor leaguer (though he also hit .306 in those 734 PA) and question that, which is fair, but I think it owes to the discrepancy in Game v. Raw power found in his scouting report when he slotted 3rd on the Twins prospect list.
As he gets comfortable in the bigs, we should see him closing the gap on that grade and a half difference in power types. In other words, he is going to bring some of that 5 o'clock pop (batting practice) to game situations. Nicklaus Gaut highlighted how one strong aspect of Larnach's early game has been the ability to smash fastballs. Hitting the heat is a great foundation to build upon and Larnach's obvious plate control – his 14% BB rate is driving his early MLB success and he had an 11% mark in the minors – has me confident that he will improve against off-speed stuff. His splits to date are insane:
Fastballs: .415/.510/.756, 3 HR, 16% K & BB rates
Everything Else: .031/.244/.031, 0 HR, 44% K, 12% BB
His .275 OPS against off-speed stuff slots him 300th out of 308 batters with at least 40 PA ending on an off-speed pitch. His .071 BABIP is 306th. The average BABIP is .281 for the group in question. Obviously his 44% K rate is awful (27% is average) but as he makes more contact, his BABIP should rise and help him at least be in the "not horrendous" tier against off-speed stuff.
He will likely still be platooned a bit with regular sits against lefties – and yes, I know he has a 1.026 OPS against them thanks 2 of his 3 hits being homers, but the 47% K rate tells me he isn't exactly adept at hitting them consistently – but that doesn't mean he can't be fantasy viable, even in 12-team leagues. Strong side platoon bats have definitely carved out fantasy roles over the years and it is even more viable now with how many teams regularly shift guys in and out of their lineups and the rise in injuries limiting the upper reaches of plate appearances.
In 2019, 70 players had 600+ PA which was the lowest total since 2011 and that was a sharp outlier as it dropped by 21 players from 2010. The next non-strike-season lowest was 66 in 1992. I see Larnach logging around 310 more plate appearances if he stays healthy and doesn't greatly improve against lefties, which puts him in about 75 of the remaining 103 games for the Twins. I am very confident he exceeds his current HR rate (3 in 90 PA meaning he'd get around 10 in 310) and lands somewhere in the 15-20 range.
Steamer has C.J. Cron hitting 15 in 320 PA the rest of season with a .251/.328/.469 line. Cron should exceed those numbers, especially if his walk gains hold, but it is a good base to work from with Larnach. Well, with a higher OBP for sure, but it felt like the right statistical comp to build upon. Maybe fellow rookie Nate Lowe is an even better one at .248/.344/.430 with 15 HR, though it comes in 85 more PA than I suggested for Larnach which means his SLG would close the gap and be closer to the Cron projection.
At best, Larnach is a ground floor pickup if you have room to hold someone who isn't yet a set it and forget it player. At worst, consider this an extended Watchlist entry for Larnach and be ready to pounce when he fits your team plans. The upcoming schedule should be pretty friendly, too, as only the Mariners have more than one lefty in their rotation among their next six opponents.

Paul, thank you! I'm putting the finishing touches on my roster moves for this week and I was thinking about dropping him for a shot at DJ Stewart. Not no more!

Earlier this year in January, I posted my first Cool Hand Luc (Twitter: @CoolHandLucTO, Facebook: Cool Hand Luc) post - More Than Just Ice Cream at Cool Hand Luc - where I had the opportunity to try their fresh soups, chili, and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches (all part of their winter menu at the time). Fast forward nine months later to, well, this past Tuesday, and I found myself back at Cool Hand Luc again for their new fall menu *Thanks Luc* but geez, how time flies!
With a new chef on board, Cool Hand Luc's fall menu consists of several new additions such as salads, fresh rolls and signature grilled sandwiches.
We couldn't possibly leave Cool Hand Luc without having ice cream :) I had the "Roly Poly" and Audrey had the "Bear Claw".
Out of the three kinds of fresh rolls, the soya beef roll stood out the most for me (I thought it packed the most flavour & crunch). I liked both grilled sandwiches equally: the grilled veg sandwich was light and moist, an excellent healthy option, while Luc's chicken club had all the fixin's of a tasty sandwich (i.e. chicken, avocado, bacon, melted cheddar). I personally prefer lighter soups, such as chicken noodle (which is also on the menu), so I let Audrey, who likes thicker soups, finish both the potato leek and butternut squash, which she thoroughly enjoyed.


I've resisted sending out my campaign-related emails all year long, as I am well aware that you receive plenty of such emails from other candidates.
But now that the 2012 Presidential and Congressional races are over, it's time to turn my attention to my own political campaign!
Next year, I plan on seeking reelection to serve a third term in the Virginia House of Delegates, which means that I hope to be on the ballot on Tuesday, November 5, 2013.
I am truly honored to have been in this position since 2010 as I'm passionate about representing the great people of the 35th House District. I'd love to have the opportunity to serve for another 2-year term.
To mark the "unofficial" beginning of my reelection campaign, I would like to invite you to join me for lunch next Monday, December 10, in my District in Tysons.
This is the first fundraiser I'm holding in Northern Virginia since 2011, and it'll be an informal opportunity to catch up with friends, unwind for the holidays, and talk a little politics.
If you cannot come, I'd appreciate you considering making a contribution to my reelection campaign today .
As you may know, under Virginia laws, I cannot solicit or accept campaign funds while the General Assembly is in session from January through March, which means that I won't be able to start my campaign in earnest until the Spring.
However, both political parties are already looking to see which incumbents are vulnerable to be challenged next year.
To begin the 2013 year in a strong position, I'd love to show sufficient cash on hand in January.
Would you please consider supporting my campaign today?

Thank you for all you have done for me and for being there when I needed you. I look forward to continuing to work with you throughout the coming year!

TWO HELD OVER ANTRIM HOUSE ATTACKS
Police series of house attacks in Antrim overnight
POLICE investigating a series of house attacks in Antrim overnight have arrested a man and a teenage girl on suspicion of burglary.
The first incident at Firmount Drive occurred shortly after 9pm on Monday when a group smashed eight windows and attempted to force their way into house.
During the attack, a 35-year-old man as assaulted and received injuries to his hand.
A 44-year-old man was arrested and taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated burglary, resisting arrest, disorderly behaviour and assaulting police.
A 16-year-old girl was also arrested on Ballycraigy Road early on Tuesday morning also on suspicion of aggravated burglary in connection with the incident.
During a second an upstairs flat on Monday night, a group of people are believed to have made an attempt to break into the property around 10pm.
Ten minutes later it was reported that a third property, believed to be unoccupied, had been deliberately set alight.
Three fire crews, two from Antrim and one from Ballymena, helped put out the fire.
The Fire and Rescue Service said that an aerial appliance had to be used as the extensive fire meant the roof was unsafe for crews to access.
The fire caused smoke damage to the house next door.
Police say investigations are at an early stage and officers are working to establish the circumstances of the attacks.
They are appealing for anyone with any information that could assist the investigation to contact them.

Choreography: Kaylin Altvater
Dance has become for me a search of the soul. I find myself equally interested in the human as I am in the dancer, always hunting for ways to reach a deeper inner level. I am drawn to using dance as research in this exploration of self, knowing that movement is the body's most vulnerable expression. I started dance at a young age, taking ballet classes at a local studio in Holland Michigan. Upon graduation, I was humbled to be accepted to the Purchase College Dance Conservatory program under direction of Nelly Van-Bommel. I have enjoyed taking classes from the following professors and artists: Stephanie Tooman, Taryn Russel, Bradley Ellis, Wallie Wolfgruber, Jean Freebury, Michelle Thompson Ulerich, Shannon Gillen, and Doug Varone. Since then I have had the privilege of learning and performing works by Belinda McGuire, Stuart Loungway, Merce Cunningham, and Anna Sokolow. I have attended the B12 Dance Festival in Berlin, taking workshops with Christopher Roman, Iztok Kovac, Hannes Langolf, Johannes Wieland, and Ryan Mason. I am currently rehearsing Ohad Naharin's "Decadance" with Or Schraiber and Bobby Jean Smith to be performed in May.

Back Alley Princess (1973)
Back Alley Princess [馬路小英雄] (1973)
Starring Polly Kuan, Samuel Hui Koon-Kit, Lau Wing, Angela Mao, Lee Kwan, Tien Feng, Wang Lai, Tong Ching, Carter Wong, Wu Jia-Xiang, Han Ying-Chieh, Fung Ngai, Huang Chung-Hsin
Directed by Lo Wei
Expectations: Hmm?
Back Alley Princess feels like one of those movies that was popular in its day, but it's hard for a modern viewer to see exactly why. It's an odd mix of a light comedic tone, heavy drama involving a prostitution ring, and some martial arts action… none of which are of quality enough to stand on their own. Ordinarily a multi-genre film like this might have a story that strings it all together, but in the case of Back Alley Princess that didn't seem to be too high of a priority (which is somewhat odd, because Lo Wei generally packs a lot of story twists and turns into his scripts).
What Back Alley Princess is full off is a whole lot of working-class strife. Chili Boy (Polly Kuan) — AKA Hot Pepper Kid in some translations — and Embroidered Pillow (Samuel Hui) are a team of con-men doing whatever they can to make a few bucks and survive on the streets of Hong Kong. This leads them to meet up with the martial arts troupe of Teacher Chiang (Tien Feng), who agrees to join up with Chili and Embroidered Pillow in the interest of making more money. But this isn't really the foundation of a story, as the film's main concern is seemingly to endear Chili Boy to the audience so Lo Wei can drive the point home how important family and community are to the individual.
This is obviously a very valid point for a person to take in and remember, but Lo Wei's methods in Back Alley Princess are far from ideal. Everything hinges on your ability to quickly latch onto the characters and care about their day-to-day struggles, all without the aid of an overarching storyline. For me, this didn't really work and I had a terribly hard time making through the film. The success of the film in its day — it was #8 on the 1973 HK Box Office — tells me one of two things: either it's a product of its time and viewers in 1973 were more open to this type of film, or that something of an East/West disconnect is happening between the film and I. I suppose a third option combining both of these is perhaps the most likely. In any case, while I found Back Alley Princess to be largely boring, I will concede that it could just be me.
One of the strangest aspects of the film is one that comes up to a lesser extent in many other Hong Kong films. Our main character Chili Boy is played by a female, and while she has short hair and looks passable as a man in many instances, it's always clear that Chili Boy is actually Chili Girl. Some of the film's comedy uses this for laughs, but for the most part it's not an issue. This kind of thing shows up in many wuxia films, but it rarely lasts the entire film (which is good because it's always very transparent!). Even when the inevitable reveal comes from Chili Boy, it is done in a way that leaves the other characters — and the audience? — still questioning what the reality is. But the film is called Back Alley Princess, so that clearly gives it all away, right? If anything, playing with the formula was at least something that I hadn't seen before. I should also note that Polly Kuan is great in this role, showing a lot of range, and even won the Golden Horse for Best Actress for the film!
As for the fights, they're mostly mediocre, but with some great flashes of skill. Han Ying-Chieh's fight choreography is usually hit or miss with me, so this isn't entirely surprising, but it's still disappointing given the cast. Polly Kwan and Angela Mao both showcase their abilities well, with Angela Mao's kicking skills being the most impressive. Carter Wong plays a limited supporting role (this was only his second film role), and late in the film he also gets a few good moments. If nothing else, it's fun to see him so young!
I can't think of anything else to say about Back Alley Princess, but that doesn't mean I'm done with Chili Boy and Embroidered Pillow! They'll be back in my life whenever I get around to 1974 in this review series, as Back Alley Princess was so successful that it warranted a sequel! And that sequel made it into the top 10 of the HK box office! Anyway, until then Chili Boy & Embroidered Pillow!
Next up in this chronological journey through the Shaw Brothers Martial Arts catalog is the Chang Cheh classic, The Blood Brothers! See ya then!

Hmmm, "Back Alley Princess" sounds like a porno I once watched. And there were no streets in it at all….

FIDE Grand Swiss…
FIDE Grand Swiss returns to Isle of Man in 2021
The World Chess Federation has accepted a bid by the Isle of
Man to host the 114-player FIDE Grand Swiss on the Isle of Man from October 25
to November 8, 2021. The event will now select two Candidates, one more than in
2019, though if it goes ahead as scheduled it's likely to finish before the previous
cycle is complete, with Magnus Carlsen's next World Championship match also
pencilled in for late 2021. The Grand Swiss will now be joined by an inaugural 50-player
FIDE Women's Grand Swiss, with a combined prize fund of $550,000.
When the bidding procedure for the FIDE Grand Swiss and
Women's Grand Swiss events was
announced on October 22nd, eyebrows were raised that only two weeks were
being given to submit bids for such expensive events. From today's FIDE announcement it's unclear if anyone
else bid, but the Grand Swiss is returning to the Isle of Man, where it was
held in 2019. Back then it was a 154-player open tournament that selected a
single player for the 2020 Candidates Tournament.
As you can see, Wang Hao was the surprise winner, while in
fact Kirill Alekseenko also made it to the Candidates since his result on the
Isle of Man made it possible for the Russian Chess Federation to select him as
a wild card.
In 2021 the 11-round open will be limited to 114 participants,
with the world's Top 100 invited by rating, followed by 9 FIDE nominees and 5
organiser wildcards. It's not confirmed in the FIDE press release whether the
organisers will again be Chess.com and the Scheinberg family, as in 2019, though
billionaire Poker Stars founder Isai Scheinberg is a free man again after being
given only a token $30k fine and "time served" (house arrest after surrendering
to US authorities in January) when the Black
Friday case dating from 2011 finally ended in September.
The major change is that the chances of qualifying for the 8-player Candidates Tournament from the Grand Swiss have been boosted since now the runner-up as
well as the winner will both qualify automatically.
The prize fund in 2019 was $432,500, but that included a
$32,500 prize fund set aside for female participants. This time there's a
$425,000 prize fund for the open tournament, but also a separate Women's Grand
Swiss with a $125,000 prize fund. That event is part of FIDE's goal of making
the open and women's World Championship cycles as similar as possible.
The Women's Grand Swiss will invite the top 40 women on the
rating list as well as 7 FIDE nominees and 3 organiser wildcards, with only the winner reaching the Women's Candidates Tournament.
The venue is set to be a return to the Royal Hall of the
Villa Marina in Douglas that was used for the event in 2014-8, a central
location that should avoid some of the complaints from participants in the 2019
tournament about being stranded away from amenities.
Of course the big question mark that hangs over the
tournament is whether large open tournaments will be possible again by October
2021, but hopeful news on the vaccine front makes a return to normal chess life
by then a real possibility.

Some Takeaways from a Great Super Bowl
Superior Play Calling
Were there any imaginative and unpredictable play calls made by the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles? You think? Doug Pederson and Josh McDaniels are among the most gifted play callers in the league. They fared well on Sunday.
Both offensive play callers had their offenses utterly dominating the opposing defenses from start to finish. The offenses totaled 1151 yards (613, Patriots and 538, Eagles), shattering all kinds of Super Bowl records. The only punt in the game was by the Eagles in the second quarter.
On Sunday we saw the league's two top teams, two of the best play callers, and record-setting offensive displays. Maybe creative play calling does have something to do with offensive productiveness – then again it could just be coincidence, right?
Head Hunting Wins Again
It happened again. With 13:11 to go in the second quarter, Tom Brady hit a wide-open Brandin Cooks for a 23-yard gain. The play itself didn't lead to a score, though it was a pivotal moment in the game nonetheless.
After Cooks caught the ball, and as he was maneuvering around and looking upfield, safety Malcolm Jenkins gave the undersized receiver a vicious hit. The helmet-to-helmet hit was apparent, if only by the way Cooks hit the ground and stayed there. The slow motion views confirmed it was classic headhunting by Jenkins. Before Cooks was hauled off the field, we all knew his season was over.
As the announcers explained, you can't go head-to-head against a defenseless receiver, but once the receiver becomes a runner, it's okay to – let's be honest – try to give the guy a concussion.
How many times can I, and many others, say it: the rule needs to be changed. Any intentional helmet-to-helmet hit (other than of a lineman in the box) should be deemed unnecessary roughness. Such hits must result in an immediate ejection AND in a post-game league review by the NFL. Anything less doesn't act as a sufficient deterrent, and won't make a difference.
The further review should take into account several factors (was the player blind-sided, how much force/violence occurred, did an injury result, and if so how extensive was it, does the perp have a previous history of such hits). Further game suspensions should then be assessed if merited.
Cooks was New England's leading wide receiver (65 catches, 1,082 yards, 16.6 average, seven TDs) and their only speedy one. You can argue this was the play that dictated the game's winner.
Comparing the QBs
There's a tendency to view NFL games as matchups of the opposing quarterbacks, but it's really two matchups of quarterbacks against opposing defenses. Tom Brady finished with a passer rating of 115.4 – his best ever in a Super Bowl. Nick Foles was right behind him, with a 106.1 rating.
Philadelphia's defense was uncharacteristically lousy. Before allowing 613 yards, the Eagles had only allowed more than 400 yards twice on the year. In their two prior playoff games, their total yardage yielded was only 281 against the Falcons and 333 against the Vikings.
More subjectively, I thought Foles clearly was the better passer on the day. More often than not, Brady's receivers were wide open. Foles in contrast was constantly having to thread passes through narrow windows or while he was on the run. Credit his receivers with making some tremendous catches.
Both offenses were all but unstoppable in the second half. Brady led Patriots drives that ended TD, TD, and TD, before finishing his final drives with a lost fumble and a nine-play drive that netted only 40 yards. Foles, meanwhile, went TD, FG, TD, and FG.
Brady might have been fatigued on that final drive, as he had only three of eight completions (not counting the spiked ball), and the two-minute offense (58 seconds actually) was not well managed – remember, Brandin Cooks was gone. The sloppy lateraled kick return that left the Pats on their own 9-yard line was also a major mess-up.
The season ended with Foles having two of the finest passing performances – back to back – in NFL postseason history.
Bradin Cooks
Doug Pederson
Doug Pederson Showed Them All!
Aaron Rodgers and Danica Patrick Stepped Out Together
It was a pretty good Super Bowl. It's nice to see some articles on it, after the game anyway.
The one guy that probably should be getting a lot of credit is Howie Roseman. He was on the come up, but then hired Chip Kelly. Two years after rectifying that, he built a team that won the Super Bowl. He used every avenue of player acquisition available just like the Patriots do. I doubt Jeff Lurie will be trying to steal Ted Thompson away from the Packers anytime soon.
Good article Rob. I wasn't going to comment, but I think your portion of the article about the Cooks hit needs to be discussed.
Without doubt Jenkins hit Cooks in the head and neck area. Cooks was not defenseless, however Cooks did not defend himself as he should as a runner. Let's be clear Cooks had clearly established himself as a runner. It is not even a close call that Cooks was a defenseless receiver. It was not Jenkins fault that Cooks was running in circles with his vision away from oncoming players.
To me Jenkins could have hit Cooks harder than he did. Jenkins broke down in his stride, otherwise Jenkins could have hit Cooks with more velocity. In addition Jenkins did not launch at Cooks. The one thing Jenkins could have done is attempt to wrap up Cooks. The act of wrapping up Cooks and taking him to the turf may have caused more damage to other bones, etc. on Cook. In today's football not wrapping up while tackling is common place, so not wrapping up by Jenkins should not be a penalty.
Not sure how you would propose to determine "intentional" helmet to helmet hits on running plays. How many times have we seen a defensive back go low and the running back or running receiver lowers his helmet, thus causing a helmet to helmet hit? Who is at fault? The runner or the defenseless defensive back who was just attempting to do his job? While the runner was just attempting to protect his knees.
Cooks should have been more aware and protected himself as a runner. Cooks could have went up field, made as many yards as possible, and then found a crease to lessen the blow. You do not run in circles, or turn your back to the opposition in the NFL when you are carrying the ball. Cooks did not defend himself while trying to make a move in an attempt to make a big play or TD. Jenkins did his job in taking a elusive, fast runner to the turf before he made a big play.
Kato February 7, 2018
Completely agree. It wasn't dirty by any means. I don't know that Cooks absence really played a big part. The Patriots never punted in that game.

HomeBlogWhat's Ahead For Mortgage Rates This Week – March 26th, 2018
What's Ahead For Mortgage Rates This Week – March 26th, 2018
Last week's economic releases included readings on new and pre-owned home sales and the Federal Open Market Committee's customary post meeting statement. Fed Chair Jerome Powell gave his first press conference as Chair of the Federal Reserve and FOMC. Weekly readings on mortgage rates and first-time jobless claims were also released.
February Sales of Pre-Owned Homes Exceed Expectations, New Home Sales Fall Short
Sales of previously-owned homes exceeded expectations at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 5.54 million sales. Analysts expected a rate of 5.40 million sales based on January's reading of 5.38 million sales.
Lawrence Yun, National Association of Realtors® Chief Economist, said that low inventories of available homes continued to impact rising home prices. Mr. Yun said that he did not expect any let-up on home price growth. February's inventory of available homes slipped to a 3.4 months supply; a six-months supply of homes for sale is considered average and an indication of healthy housing markets.
Mr. Yun said that he may adjust forecasts for home price growth. First-time buyers are being squeezed out of housing markets due to rapidly rising home prices. The average price for a home was $241,700 in February. First-time buyer participation dropped to 29 percent of buyers as compared to an average of approximately 40 percent.
Regional sales of pre-owned homes were mixed. Sales in the Northeast dipped 12.30 percent; Midwest sales dipped by 2.40 percent. The South posted 6.60 percent growth in home sales, and the West reported 11.40 percent growth in home sales year-over-year.
Sales of new homes dipped in February.to 618,000 sales as compared to expectations of 630,000 sales and January's reading of 622,000 sales of new homes. Combined effects of seasonal weather and homebuyer concerns over rising mortgage rates and home prices likely contributed to the drop in new home sales.
FOMC Raises Key Rate, New Fed Chair Sees Stronger Economy
The Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee raised the target federal funds rate to a range of 1.50 -1.75 percent, a move that was widely expected. Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the Fed would continue a modest pace of raising rates in 2018 but indicated a more aggressive pace for raising rates may be appropriate in 2019.
Federal Reserve analysts predicted eight rate hikes between 2018 and the end of 2020; this estimate includes that last three rate increases. Wednesday's rate hike was the sixth quarter-point rate hike since December 2015.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gave his first press conference as Fed Chair after the FOMC post-meeting statement. He indicated he is not fearful of inflation overheating and said that he would protect recent tax cuts.
Mortgage Rates, New Jobless Claims Rise
Freddie Mac reported that mortgage rates ticked up by one basis for all three types of mortgages it tracks. The average rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 4.45 percent; the rate for a 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.91 percent and the average rate for a 5/1 adjustable rate mortgage was 3.68 percent. Discount points averaged 0.50 percent for fixed rate mortgages and 0.40 percent for 5/1 adjustable rate mortgages.
New jobless claims rose last week to 229,000 new claims filed as compared to an expected reading of 225,000 new claims and the prior week's reading of 226,000 new jobless claims filed. Analysts noted that winter readings for jobless claims can be unpredictable and don't indicate weakening job markets.
What's Ahead
This week's scheduled economic releases include readings from Case-Shiller on home prices, readings on pending home sales and weekly reports on mortgage rates and new jobless claims.

Senior Night Thread: Cal State Bakersfield at Seattle U.
REDHAWKS LOSE: The techs gave Seattle U. momentum, but players and Bonvicini spoke of something breaking around the 4-minute mark, allowing the Roadrunners to use made FTs and transition buckets off turnovers to seal a 77-71 win. Actually Bonviicini said the Roadrunners "stole" the game. SU ends its schedule on the road, playing five games. For the seniors, it was an emotional night. Bonvicini couldn't compose herself enough to speak about her seniors, becoming most overwhelmed when speaking of Salley, who the coach never led in a regulation game. Many have and will questioned the suspension, but Salley is regarded by teammates as a solid person who made a youthful mistake. Heck was another emotional speaker, serving as a co-captain and becoming a better leader, according to Bonvicini. Heck finished with 11 boards. Dickerson had 15 points and nine rebounds while Christianson added four points. Kerfoot led all of her teammates with 18 points and eight assists. F Carley Butcher left the game early, suffering a hyper-extended left knee. She is questionable.
EJECTED: CSU Bakersfield coach Tim La Kose was ejected, stomping while screaming an expletive directly over the head of an official. She immediately called two technical fouls on La Kose, who had to be held back by assistant coach Greg McCall as Mandi Carver called the team into a huddle. It didn't appear as if the officials missed a call. SU is up 60-56 after Kerfoot made the ensuing four FTs. (CSUB's bench also was called for two techs).
RED HOT: The Redhawks are back on a roll, exiting the halftime with a 15-6 run to tie the score at 45 points apiece with 14:30 remaining. Seniors Dickerson and Heck have been a force , getting offensive help from Amani Butler. The key has been Heck helping to grab rebounds to make CSUB's trips down court one-and-done.
WHAT'S NEXT?: So, yes, Bonvicini is losing some good talent, but she's got some solid athletes transferring into the program, too. F Talisa Rhea starred for Oregon State before after the debacle summer of 2010, averaging a team-leading 15.3 points and 3.6 rebounds as a junior. She'll be a redshirt senior next season. G Nichole Jackson won back-to-back state championships at Auburn Riverside High, opting to attend Portland State. She transferred last winter and will be eligible in December 2011. With the talent returning and recruits, SU could be back to its 20-win tradition, only as D-I.
#WORDAAPP: Seattle U. band gets major props for playing Cameo's hit "Word Up." Way to bring it back, y'all.
HALFTIME: Dickerson got a three-pointer to drop with 34 seconds remaining in the opening half to make the score 39-30 at the break. But her team was 2-for-10 from the range in the half, part of the reasoning the Redhawks are down. SU also gave up 12 points off nine turnovers in the half. Dickerson leads her team with 12 points and four boards, getting some feeds from Kerfoot, who has six assists. Leon has nine points and five rebounds for Cal State Bakersfield while teammate Herman has nine points and three assists. The Roadrunners are 6-for-15 from three-point range.
TRE BAD: SU is 1 of 9 from three-point range after a miss by Ward. Might want to get back into the offensive sets, again. Meanwhile Leon nailed a trey for her team, making the score 39-27 Roadrunners.
ROADKILL: SU is getting good movement on offense and even some nice second-chance points by Dickerson, Christianson, and Heck. But the zone isn't stopping anything as the Roadrunners cut through lanes for buckets. CSUB is up 34-25 with 3:35 remaining, led by Herman's nine points.
SPOTTED: Former Washington standout Kayla Burt is seated with friends, supporting SU and former teammate Kristen O'Neill. CSUB is up 25-17 with 7:05 remaining in the opening half. The Roadrunners are getting points from three-point range and making their FTs.
ROAD BLOCK: The Redhawks are getting their offense clicking by turning defensive rebounds into points. A layin by Dickerson under the hoop cut the SU deficit to 14-11 with 12:19 remaining in the opening half. SU is shooting 55.6 percent from the field and outrebounding CSUB 9-6 overall.
Seattle University adorned the bleachers with red and black balloons to celebrate "Senior Night." The Redhawks are graduating four players in June — C Tatiana Heck (criminal justice) and forwards Julee Christianson (journalism), Salena Dickerson (psychology), and Breanna Salley (liberal studies). Salley is ineligible to play, however.
As part of the festivities, the student-athletes will hand game balls to their favorite faculty members and after the game all of the players with be recognized. Coach Joan Bonvicini is starting the three eligible players, Heck getting the nod with solid play off the bench after starting the opening 13 games.
For the seniors, the night isn't solely a good-bye to their college careers. Seattle U. won its past two games, setting up a chance for its first three-game win streak under Bonvicini. The program is in its second season transitioning back to Division-I and the seniors want to help plant SU on the map.
"In this last stretch of the season, I feel we're finally showing people that it is possible for Seattle U. to be a good athletic program," Heck said.
SU (7-17) lost to Cal State Bakersfield 81-65 on the road. But the Roadrunners (14-11) are without second-leading scorer Britney McGee, who is out with a left knee injury. McGee, a 5-foot-8 guard, averaged 12.2 points before the injury.
Tonight's officials are Bethany Graves, Shelly Wingard, and Renee Robinson.

Home Read Unbox's Original Concept is a Double-Edged Sword
Unbox's Original Concept is a Double-Edged Sword
Josh Griffiths
You may want to take a seat before reading this next sentence, maybe get a glass of water or take a deep breath. Unbox (the console version is called Unbox: Newbie's Adventure) is a modern day 3D platformer that isn't trying to model itself off Banjo-Kazooie or Super Mario 64. While you're cleaning up pieces of your blown mind, why not watch our latest video about it?
The School is So Old it's in Black & White
It's becoming exceedingly rare to find modern 3D platformers, much less ones that don't try to emulate a Nintendo 64 platformer to some degree. The last several years for fans of the genre have been slim pickings. Yooka-Laylee is the biggest example, a 3D platformer so dedicated to being Banjo-Kazooie it skinned a bear and a bird and started wearing their bloody entrails around the house. Poi, a lesser known exhibit from the species, goes to no less extreme ends to replicate Super Mario 64, though at least it turned out.
What you don't have many of are 3D platformers trying something new. This year has luckily granted us with three exceptions – Snake Pass, a platformer in which you slither around as a snake rather than jumping, and tomorrow A Hat in Time hits Steam, featuring unique gameplay mechanics and levels.
But it's Unbox that sets a high bar for originality in the genre. Unfortunately for it, and developer Prospect Games, that bar is a two sided… bar. It's a bad thing as much as it is a negative, is the point.
Great Mechanics…
What sets Unbox apart from other 3D platformers is that you play as a cardboard box. You're just a plain box too, no anthropomorphized features, no arms, and no legs. Legs and the various things they can do are pretty integral to the genre, right? Well, that's what Prospect is trying to disprove.
You can jump in Unbox, it wouldn't be much of a 3D platformer if you couldn't (looking at you The Last Tinker). But rather than a full-on, grown-up kid jump, it's more of a little hop. Instead, if you want to reach out and touch the sky, you're going to have to unbox yourself. As well as a box, you're also a Russian nesting doll, full of other, smaller boxes that are also you. It's only weird if you think about it. If you want to do a high jump, you unbox, which ejects the next set of boxes out of the larger box, thus flinging you in the air.
But wait, that's not all! If you call now, you'll also get momentum! As well as not being able to actually jump in the traditional sense, your lack of legs also means you can't walk. This means you have to roll yourself around everywhere, and the thing about rolling things is that they tend to pick up momentum and speed as they go along. They also struggle going up stairs, but hey, you can't have it all.
To properly traverse the three worlds in Unbox (plus a hubworld) you need to master the momentum and the Unbox mechanics, and use them in tandem. Roll up to a bottomless pit, picking up speed as you go, then hit the unbox button at just the right time to get across. You can chain together your unboxings too, which can effectively launch you halfway across the map if you time it correctly. But you can't spam your unboxings, as you only get six at a time. You're going to have to time your jumps properly, just like any other good 3D platformer.
…in a Mediocre Package
The problem with Unbox, however, is that it doesn't really know what to do with itself. The levels are expertly designed to take advantage of the unboxing mechanic. Two of the three worlds are essentially island levels, requiring you to unbox to simply get from one island to the next. You can play it safe by hopscotching your way to where you want to go, or you can take a risk and unbox yourself over top of multiple islands.
This is a fun world to explore, but unfortunately, there's where you'll be getting all your fun.
The actual missions don't take advantage of the unboxing feature nearly as well as the level design does. Most of the time you'll be going to a point and returning to the quest-giver. Other times you'll have to go inside one of the rare indoor levels and not get to use the unboxing mechanic to its fullest extent since you're limited to how high you can go. There are also arbitrary races – a requirement for any 3D platformer – that funnel you down pre-set courses. They try their best to incorporate the unboxing mechanic into them, but you're usually better off just rolling around.
Worst of all are the missions that prevent you from unboxing at all. The levels were designed with unboxing in mind, making these missions frustrating as well as uninteresting. What's the point of making a game with a unique premise like that and taking it away multiple times per world?
The story isn't well integrated into the gameplay structure either. It starts out well enough – you play as a special self-delivering box working for the Global Postal Service that was made to save the company. What makes you special from all the other self-delivering boxes is never explained. This is never followed through with the missions however, as instead of delivering packages through dangerous territory or trying to run from a dog, you instead complete races, race up a mountain to plant a flag, strapping your friend to your head so he can collect map data, and other various random missions.
A Cardboard Soul
Unbox suffers from boring missions, and a story that starts light-hearted and funny and takes a sudden turn down Too Serious Street near the end. Neither of them take full advantage of the gameplay mechanics, or the world Prospect Games created. Unbox is a gorgeous looking game, it feels great to play, and the characters are all interesting.
In some ways, it feels like Unbox's original gameplay actually hurts it some regard. If it were just doing the retro, Nintendo 64 platformer thing like everyone else, then the boring missions and story wouldn't stand out so much. But because it tries something new, it has to be judged on a higher level. So, for that at least, Unbox at least deserves some respect.
None of this is to say Unbox is a bad game, quite the opposite. When you're traveling around the game world, unboxing your way across giant ravines and going super-sonic as you fling yourself down a mountain, you're going to have a huge grin on your face. The characters and some of the early story beats will at least make you chuckle, far more so than Yooka-Laylee could ever hope to achieve. Unbox is the prime example of a game that should have been better than what it ended up being.

Thanks so much to Writer Recharge hosts Sara Biren, Katy Upperman, Alison Miller, Liz Parker, and Elodie Nowodazkij! Your hard work is much appreciated.
Add 500 words each day to ye olde WIP. Revise THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE SAID for the last time (before querying, that is).
I did pretty well here. There were only a handful of days where I didn't make the wordcount goal. Revising will take longer than I anticipated but that's okay. I've extended my deadline and I'm confident I can make it.
I finished OPEN ROAD SUMMER and MASSIVE. I enjoyed them both for vastly different reasons. Reading for fun FTW!
Do something physically active for 30 minutes at least 3x per week.
Being sick and dealing with IH stuff derailed this more often than I'd like. However, I broke a sweat more than once perfecting Kpop dance moves and the daily stretching is vastly improving my flexibility.
Attend an in-person writing meetup.
I missed the February meetup but I re-connected with a local writing collective, wrote and brainstormed via Twitter, attended a play-in-progress feedback session, joined the Write Ladyhead Right crew, researched writing residencies, and applied for a writing workshop scholarship.
I'm really pleased with my progress this month! Thanks so much to everyone for your support.
Adrianne Russsssssellllll, thank you for joining us on the Recharge once again! I'm glad that you had a good month over all. And I'm super super excited for you to start querying! Keep up the good work in March, lady!
You did great this month! Here's to hoping for a productive spring!
It sounds like you had a really productive writing month! All of you gals with your exercise goals are starting to sway me–I guess that should be on my list for March. I hope you're feeling better soon!
Thanks, I'm already feeling much better. Good luck with your exercise goals!
Reading for fun is always a win! Glad you got to do some of that. 🙂 And despite sickness (boo!), it sounds like you did awesome! So glad you could join us! Good luck with the revisions and querying. Here's to a productive March!
I always forget that my love for writing stems from my love for reading. Silly me!

Packers secure home-field
A fan celebrates during the second half of an NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis. - photo by The Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Now that the Green Bay Packers have wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Mike McCarthy is free to rest some of his starters in the regular-season finale.
And while McCarthy's natural inclination might be playing to win — especially with the NFC North rival Detroit Lions coming to Lambeau Field on New Year's Day — the coach acknowledged after the Packers' 35-21 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night that his team's injury situation might dictate his strategy.
"We'll look at all of our options," McCarthy said. "But I'm not going to stand here and tell you we want to give away opportunities to win the game. We're going to play to win the game next week. I'm not real excited about a division opponent coming in here and think we're not going to do everything we can to get to 15-1. But health is an issue for us. I think that's stating the obvious."
Aaron Rodgers threw five touchdown passes in a game for the first time in his NFL career, breaking a close game wide open by leading three quick scoring drives in the second half.
The Packers (14-1) nailed down the No. 1 seed in the NFC and claimed another round of bragging rights in the storied rivalry by eliminating the Bears (7-8) from the playoff chase. Chicago's loss also put the Atlanta Falcons in the playoffs.
Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jordy Nelson, another two to James Jones, and found tight end Jermichael Finley for a score. Rodgers was 21 of 29 for 283 yards and no interceptions when backup Matt Flynn took over with 7:54 left in the game.
Rodgers has 45 touchdown passes this season — only shy of Tom Brady's single-season record set in 2007.
But when asked about the possibility of breaking Brady's record, Rodgers made it sound as if he didn't expect to see much of the field next Sunday.
"I think that's probably safe," Rodgers said.
Rodgers said he expected McCarthy to weigh the pros and cons of playing to win.
"There's something to be said about finishing the season well," Rodgers said. "The Bears tried to keep us out of the playoffs last year in the last game of the year and it would be nice to finish out the season the way we started it, with a strong showing in a home game. That being said, I think you have to take into account the health of your football team. We have some guys banged up. We'll see what Mike says this week. But until we hear differently, we'll prepare as if we're going to play."
Rodgers might not get a shot at Brady's touchdown record, but he did break a franchise record Sunday. With 4,643 yards passing, he surpassed Lynn Dickey's single-season total of 4,458 set in 1983.
"It's obviously an award that's bigger than an individual award," Rodgers said. "It takes obviously the offensive line pass-blocking for you and your guys getting open and delivering a catchable ball and then making plays. We've got a great group of guys to work with. This is a record we all share."
Rodgers' offensive feats came behind a patchwork offensive line, as the Packers were without three of their top four tackles.
Chad Clifton returned to practice this week after sitting out since October because of hamstring and back injuries, but isn't ready to play. Bryan Bulaga was inactive Sunday because of a left knee sprain, and backup Derek Sherrod is out for the season with a broken right leg.
But the line played well, and Rodgers wasn't sacked.
"We felt that was going to be a huge challenge for us up front, dealing with their defensive line," McCarthy said. "I can't say enough about our offensive line."
Green Bay also was missing wide receiver Greg Jennings, because of a sprained left knee, and defensive lineman Ryan Pickett because of a concussion.
With so many players banged up, will the Packers be cautious with starters in the finale?
"I enjoy playing this game, but at the same time, we have to be smart," Clay Matthews said. "We like winning around here. It'll be interesting to see where we go. Like I said, we have to be smart."
Missing the playoffs is a disappointing end to what was once a promising season for Chicago.
The Bears have lost five straight games since losing quarterback Jay Cutler to a broken right thumb in a Nov. 20 victory over San Diego.
And they had a chance Sunday, trailing by only four early in the third quarter before Rodgers found his rhythm. Third-string running back Kahlil Bell rushed for 121 yards with Marion Barber and Matt Forte sidelined by injuries.
"When you play the Super Bowl champions, you have to be on top of your game," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "Offensively, we did enough things to keep us in the game and have a chance to win the game at the end. But defensively we just didn't have it."
The Bears started Josh McCown on Sunday after backup Caleb Hanie struggled to fill in for Cutler. McCown's most recent start came with the Oakland Raiders in 2007, and he was out of the NFL last season.
"It's a tough assignment, but you've got to find a way to pull it off," McCown said.

While CBD is full of hidden cafes in the alleys, I get surprised when a small coffee shop, with an unseen name board, does thousands of coffee a day. Patricia Coffee Shop operates in a small alley but the crowd there speaks of the quality of the coffee.
People are seen standing inside and outside the cafe to taste the best coffee in CBD. There aren't many options for you to choose from and that is the USP of Patricia. They have only three types of coffee - white, black, and filter.
While I wait for my coffee, I noticed the bulletin board where they had publications for you to read and help you with your boredom during the waiting time.
The coffee make is of popular brands, one of them being called 'Seven Seeds'. The coffee seeds of seven different plants is mixed to a perfect balance and voila, you end up drinking one of the best coffees in Melbourne.
Any time of the day it is so crowded so plan to wait a bit to taste this heaven. They offer some cookies but mostly it is just coffee. I am amazed how people don't mind any of the discomfort and are here just to sip good coffee. Now that's what I love about Melburnians - we love our coffee no matter what.
Patricia Coffee is open weekdays and during weekends. If you ever miss their coffee, you can take home their coffee powder .
Hip hop from your office to this freshly ground coffee to awaken yourself or stop over before you head to the meeting in a different office.
Patricia gets a pat on the back. Good coffee makes everyone come back for more.
Please advise where Patricia Cafe is? Which street in CBD?
Be prepared - there is no seating at all.


The Early Childhood Education Curriculum, Te Whāriki, notes that supporting children in their transition to school "it is important to make opportunities for the young child to experience new challenges, co-operative ventures, and longer term projects. These experiences also help to meet their expanding capabilities and provide a smooth transition to school". Providing blocks as a resource, children can engage in play that begins with an idea and results in a building, sculpture or game that children can made additions to, alter, and reorganise over a period of time.
Providing a surface that is clean, flat and free from obstructions, such as other toys and games, allows children the space and time to really engage with their project. Planning ahead to ensure the space used for blocks is not in a thoroughfare and safe from other play means children can leave their building project safely and return to it time and again.
Building, creating and sculpting can occur, not only using purpose-made wooden or plastic blocks, using materials such as river stones, cardboard boxes, off-cuts of building timber, paper towel rolls and anything that can be used for stacking and balancing. You can also provide materials to enhance this play such as pegs, wool, fabric, toy cars, leaves/flowers/bark, and toy animals.
learn to co-operate and share with others.
Blocks are great for the whole family to participate in, encouraging oral language as everyone shares their thoughts and ideas.


Suns accepted administrator Ryan McDonough active Devin Booker to a max arrangement addendum and drafted Deandre Ayton with the No. 1 aces this summer – two HUGE decisions for the franchise.
McDonough won't alike see those moves through for a distinct game.
The expected-to-be-awful Suns went a abominable 48-34 McDonough's aboriginal year, but afresh produced beeline accident seasons, acceptable in the mid-to-low 20s the aftermost few years. Phoenix absent the playoffs all bristles years with McDonough. Nobody saw his job as secure, abnormally beneath Suns buyer Robert Sarver.
But this timing is shocking, to say the least. Why let McDonough administer the absolute offseason afresh blaze him aloof nine canicule afore the season? Is there article abroad accident here?
That said, I didn't adulation McDonough's summer. Phoenix fabricated too abounding win-now moves while abrogation a atramentous aperture at point bouncer that would attenuate any adventitious of competing, abnormally in this barbarous Western Conference.
And there was a history of errors. The 2016 abstract looks like a decidedly atramentous mark on McDonough's résumé. Phoenix best Dragan Bender No. 4 afresh traded up for No. 8 aces Marquese Chriss while surrendering the Nos. 13 and 28 picks and rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic (who's bigger than either Bender or Chriss). The Suns accept already accustomed up on Chriss, trading him to the Rockets, and Bender has looked lost.
But, again, why now? If Sarver believed in McDonough abundant to let him handle all these big decisions beforehand in the offseason, what changed?

Tickets on Sale for Nov. 12 Hall of Fame Induction Dinner
ATLANTA – All-Americans Jason Varitek and Nomar Garciaparra, who led the Yellow Jackets' baseball team to the College World Series championship game in 1994, and track and field national champions Natasha Alleyne and Derek Mills headline the 2004 induction class that will be inducted into the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame on Friday, November 12, at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.
The black-tie optional event is open to the public, and tickets are $50. Tables of 10 can be purchased for $500. They can be purchased through Barb Dockweiler in the Alexander-Tharpe Fund by calling 404-894-6124. The evening begins with a reception at 7 p.m., with dinner at 7:30 p.m., and the induction program to follow.
Steve Raible, an All-South Independent pick as a wide receiver on Tech's football team in the 1970's, and Dr. Aaron King, the team dentist for Tech student-athletes for nearly 40 years, also will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during ceremonies which will take place on Nov. 12 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.
Varitek, Garciaparra and Mills all were named to the Atlantic Coast Conference's 50th Anniversary teams in their respective sports in 2003.
"We congratulate all six members of this year's Hall of Fame class and are proud of what they have accomplished not only here but in their professional careers," said Tech director of athletics Dave Braine. "We look forward to having them here for a proper tribute to their accomplishments here at Tech and in their professional careers."
Though the 1994 baseball team had four players who were first-team All-Americans and first-round draft choices, Varitek and Garciaparra were the undisputed leaders of the Yellow Jackets, who began the season ranked No. 1 and nearly ended it that way before falling to Oklahoma in the College World Series title game.
Among the many honors he earned during his career, Varitek won the Golden Spikes Award, signifying the nation's top amateur baseball player, and was the national collegiate player of the year in 1994. The catcher was a consensus first-team all-America in 1992, 1993 and 1994, earned first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference honors each of those years and was also named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year in 1993. The Orlando, Fla., native, who makes his off-season home in Suwanee, Ga., made his major league debut in 1997 and is the regular catcher for the Boston Red Sox. Varitek's jersey number 33 is retired, and he remains the Tech career leader in home runs (57), runs scored (261), base hits (351), doubles (82), RBI (251) and total bases (610) and batted .384 for his career, fifth-best in Tech history.
Garciaparra, a three-year starter at shortstop for the Yellow Jackets, earned first-team All-America honors in 1993 and 1994. The Whittier, Calif., native also made the first-team all-ACC and was named a GTE Academic All-America both years. Garciaparra finished his career with a .372 batting average, still the seventh-best in Tech history, 176 runs scored, 250 hits (18th in Tech history), 58 doubles (fourth) and 66 stolen bases (seventh). The shortstop also holds the Tech record for consecutive steals without being caught (33 straight). A major leaguer since 1997 with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, he has made the All-Star team five times, was named American League Rookie of the Year in 1997 and won the AL batting title in 1999 and 2000.
A member of the 1996 Olympic Gold 4×400 relay team that won a Gold medal in Atlanta, Derek Mills won the 1994 NCAA outdoor 400 meters for the Yellow Jackets, and also was a member of three national champion relay teams. The Washington, D.C., native helped earn NCAA championships for Tech in the outdoor 4×400 relay in 1992 and 1994, and the indoor 4×400 relay in 1993. The sprinter also won 10 Atlantic Coast Conference championships in the 400 meters, outdoor 4×400 relay and indoor mile relay. He logged All-America performances 11 times and All-Atlantic Coast Conference performances 12 times during his four years. In addition to his Olympic medal, Mills won an IAAF World title in the 4×400 relay in 1993. Now a resident of New Orleans, Mills still holds Georgia Tech records in the 400 meters, indoor and outdoor, and the indoor 200 meters.
An indoor national champion in the high jump in 1992, Natasha Alleyne became the first female NCAA champion in Georgia Tech history when she jumped a then-school-record 6 feet, 2 1/4 inches, a mark which held until last winter. Born in Trinidad and raised in Palm Coast, Fla., Alleyne also held the outdoor school mark in the high jump until 2003. Alleyne also won ACC championships in the event in 1990 outdoors and 1991 indoors and earned all-conference honors twice. A team captain in 1991, Alleyne went on to compete for Trinidad and Tobago in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta in the high jump. She now makes her home in Morrow, Ga., and she has completed in the USA Track and Field championships as recently as 2003.
Lettering three years in football as a wide receiver and three years in track and field as a sprinter, Steve Raible earned honorable mention All-America and All-South Independent honors in football in 1975 as the top receiver in Georgia Tech's wishbone offense under Pepper Rodgers. A member of Georgia Tech's Carson-Fulcher-Rodgers All-Era team for the 1967-79 period, he finished his Tech career with 24 catches for 452 yards (18.8 yards per catch) and five touchdowns, leading the Jackets twice in receiving.
