Republicans prepared to sacrifice numbers in redistricting battle
01/06/2012
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida’s new redistricting standards, coupled with the 10-year shift in population, has forced Republicans to do what is rarely done in politics — sacrifice incumbents – and that is not going over well with some Republicans.
The possible casualties include U.S. Rep. Allen West, whose Broward to Palm Beach-based district would become more Democratic in every map proposed by both the House and Senate.
Improving habitat for wildlife
01/06/2012
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists Rio Throm, center, and Justin Ellenberger monitor a controlled burn Thursday at the north end of Guana River Management Area, off County Road 210 in Ponte Vedra Beach, in the first photo.
The 22-acre prescribed fire is the first of 15,000 acres that the commission plans to burn this year.
‘We try to burn every 24 to 36 months,’ said Ellenberger. ‘One of the reasons we burn is to make the habitat better for the wildlife, and [we] will have a harder time burning during wildfire season,’ he said.
Proctor: Merit pay on track
01/06/2012
Statewide resistance by superintendents of schools, school boards, teachers and teachers unions will not derail the Florida Legislature’s implementation of Senate Bill 736, a law mandating teacher merit pay, state Rep. Bill Proctor, R-St. Augustine, said Thursday.
SB 736, titled the “Student Success Act,” passed last year and was signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott in March.
It connected teacher raises to student performance and ended the tenure system.

01/06/2012

A casting producer for a 13-episode series tentatively titled “The Recovery Project” is to fly here Sunday to find property on which to dig for clues to the past.

Hastings Neighbors: Looking back at 2011
01/06/2012
My mama always said, “New Year’s’ resolutions are just things you say. Hopes and Dreams, that’s the stuff a new year is made of.”
As we all know, mama was always right. But before we look forward, I thought we should take a look in the rearview mirror and see how we fared with last year.
This time last year I wrote: I am starting a low-fat, low-calorie, low-taste diet; I will get up at 5 a.m. every day and do Pilates and cardio for two hours. Well I did! It lasted two days. Mama really was right about those resolutions.

No one does college football better than the SEC
01/06/2012
NEW ORLEANS — A few months ago, when there were rumblings that Virginia Tech might be jumping to the Southeastern Conference, Eddie Whitley and his teammates got excited.

Broncos sport NFL's top ground game but TDs rare
01/06/2012
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos boast the best running game in the NFL. The numbers are a bit deceiving, though. They pile up yards on the ground but not points.
The Broncos led the league with a 164.5-yard average and set a franchise mark with 2,632 yards rushing. Yet, they ran for just 11 touchdowns, including six by scrambling quarterback Tim Tebow and four by resurgent running back Willis McGahee.

Arkansas vs. K-State in BCS-worthy Cotton Bowl
01/06/2012
ARLINGTON, Texas — For coach Bill Snyder’s second Wildcat turnaround and 11th-ranked Kansas State’s surprising season, the Cotton Bowl is an appropriate ending.
When the Wildcats first played in the Cotton Bowl 15 years ago, that New Year’s Day game was a watershed moment for a program that had evolved from consecutive winless seasons just before Snyder arrived. They went again at the end of the 2000 season, during a stretch of six 11-win seasons in seven years before the coach’s brief retirement.
State report card on St. Johns County high schools: 2 A's, 4 B's
01/06/2012
Two of St. Johns County’s high schools were down a letter grade as the state released the annual high school grade report for the 2010-11 school year on Wednesday.
Despite the drop, the school district kept its No. 1 ranking in the state based on FCAT scores.
Top performances by the high schools make them vulnerable to three automatic triggers that are tied to subpopulations of students, said Superintendent Joe Joyner after the scores were released Wednesday by the state Department of Education.
