According to Bleacher Report writer Mike Freeman, the team's performance issues are stemming from tensions within the locker room. In his report, Freeman makes specific note of a rift between quarterback Russell Wilson and certain black teammates who, says Freeman, think Wilson "isn't black enough", and is "too close to the front office". Freeman's assertions, he says, are "backed up by several interviews with Seahawks players".

Florida’s secession is the topic of a recently passed resolution in the City of South Miami that favors the of secession of southern Florida counties. The resolution proposes to split Florida into northern and southern states, creating the 51st state of South Florida. But a large part of the disagreement seems to stem from climate change science, global warming and the rise of the oceans.
In a related report by the Inquisitr, Florida is not the only state recently for having a proposed secession go up for vote. Last year North Colorado almost became the 51st state when northern Colorado residents felt ignored and “politically disenfranchised.”
The City of South Miami passed a resolution in favor of Florida being split into half to create the state of South Florida. Mayor Walter Harris proposed the resolution that was passed with a 3-2 vote by the city commission on October 7. Harris seems to have mutual feelings with northern Colorado residents of feeling ignored by the opposing side of the state, which means they need to have South Florida secede from the north.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, Harris told the commission that Tallahassee isn’t providing South Florida with proper representation or addressing its concerns when it comes to sea levels rising, which has been largely attributed to climate change and global warming in the past.
“We have to be able to deal directly with this environmental concern and we can’t really get it done in Tallahassee,” Harris said. “I don’t care what people think — it’s not a matter of electing the right people.”
Mayor Phillip Stoddard has said he has long thought it would be best for a South Florida secession and echoed that there is great apathy in Tallahassee regarding the southern part of the state.
“It’s very apparent that the attitude of the northern part of the state is that they would just love to saw the state in half and just let us float off into the Caribbean… They’ve made that abundantly clear every possible opportunity and I would love to give them the opportunity to do that.”
The Resolution of the Mayor and City of South Miami deliberated specifically on those facts, claiming the need that southern states have regarding erosion are not being met despite being in urgent need.
“Presently, in order to address the concerns of South Florida, it is necessary to travel to Tallahassee in North Florida. Often South Florida issues do not receive the support of Tallahassee… The creation of the 51st state, South Florida, is a necessity for the very survival of the entire southern region of the current state of Florida.”
It points out that this is the case despite South Florida generating more than 69 percent of the state’s revenue and containing 67 percent of the state’s population.
The resolution claims the facts show there is big disparity between the geological elevations of the northern and southern part of the state.
“The average elevation of the present state of Florida is approximately 100 feet above sea level. North Florida is approximately 120 feet above sea level while the average elevation of South Florida is less than 50 feet with a very large portion of South Florida averaging less than 15 feet above sea level. Many sections of South Florida are 5 feet or less above sea level, including Monroe County and the Gold Coast, consisting of Palm Beach County, Broward County and Miami-Dade County. This area also includes the Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Biscayne National Park and the Turkey Point nuclear reactors. These reactors are 42 years old and less than 5 feet above sea level with in excess of 2.5 million pounds of nuclear waste buried on the grounds of the nuclear plant.”
Many counties of South Florida are five feet or less above sea level, including major national parks and a nuclear reactor. Assuming global warming and the ocean levels rising are linked, it is estimated that there will be a three to six foot sea level rise in the next 100 years. If that is the case, then within the next generation much of south Florida may well disappear into the ocean. Never mind the disappearance of home cities, it’s claimed by South Florida politicians the 2.5 million pounds of nuclear waste contained within reactors will become submerged underwater and become a terrible environmental disaster.
There are a few constitutional hurdles before South Florida may secede to become it’s own state, First Coast News reports. Most importantly is each county must approve it first. Second, Congress would have to approve the breakup of the state.
Would you want a 51st state based upon a South Florida secession? Or, as the mayor puts it, would you want to see the southern part of Florida slip out into the middle of the ocean?

Another civilian jumped the fence and attempted to infiltrate the White House Wednesday night. He was quickly brought down and arrested.
The suspect was apprehended and taken to an area hospital. The White House went on immediate lockdown.
This comes just a month after an armed man jumped the fence and made it not only inside, but into the first floor of the building. That man, Omar Gonzalez, did not have to deal with the Secret Service's security dogs. Wednesday night's suspect did—and it made a huge difference.
Fox News footage showed the suspect being attacked by two Secret Service K-9 officers. The suspect very clearly kicks and slams the dogs on the ground.
According to the Washington Post, the dogs are Belgian Malinois, a breed chosen for its intelligence: "It typically takes a person sprinting across the grounds at least 20 to 25 seconds to run from the fence line to the mansion. Canine teams are trained to have the dog in position to be released within four seconds of the alarm sounding. The dog is trained to act as a missile, launching in the air to knock the subject down, and then biting an arm or leg if need be to subdue the person until the handler arrives."
The two dogs were taken to the veterinarian due to injuries sustained during the attack, NBC Washington reports.
Eyewitnesses said that the man got roughly 20 feet inside the fence.
This is the third time someone has attempted to intrude the White House since Sept. 11. Each time, perpetrators have attempted to enter through the Pennysylvania Avenue side of the White House that is generally open to pedestrians.
Update: ABC News reports that the jumper has been identified as 23-year-old Dominic Adesanya of Bel Air, Md. A glance at his public Instagram account reveals a fairly politicially minded individual, but also someone with innocuous sports and pop cultural interests: He claims to have made second-team all-conference as a track athlete at Stevenson University, loves breakfast foods and the Baltimore Ravens, and took a video of a duck by a pond. But he did also publish a handful of pictures that show government contempt, specifically paranoia about the Rothschild family.
Attention Gmail users: Change is coming. Google on Wednesday announced a radically different email experience, called Inbox, that the company says will eventually replace its widely used and enormously popular Gmail servce.
Google gave Farhad Manjoo from the New York Times an exclusive look at the product, which has a very different interface and aims to fulfill slightly different goals than the feature-packed Gmail does at present.
"Inbox isn’t an upgrade to Gmail. It’s a long-term replacement for it," Manjoo wrote. Although Google stil plans to develop new features for Gmail in the short term, "Inbox is meant to be your email system for the next decade."
The reason Inbox is already so controversial among the tech press is that it completely replaces the message-list experience of Gmail with a feed of information that closely resembles a social network.
Building on the success of Google Now, Inbox will present you with social-network-style updates on your life, from flights to purchases to appointments. Google is integrating reminders into the communication features of Inbox, and these reminders will pull relevant data from the Web. The example Manjoo gives is that you could set a reminder to "call my dentist" and Google would automatically add your dentist's contact information and availability to the reminder.
The social-network asthetic will highlight content from messages that you can access without digging into the messages themselves. For example, Manjoo writes, "When your friend sends you some photos, you see the pictures right on the main screen, and you can flip through and dismiss them without going into the message."
Google did not announce a launch date for Inbox, but according to the Times report, it will first be released on Android, iOS, and the Web "on an invitation-only basis." You know what that means, folks—time to find a friendly tech blogger who will slide you an invite so you can look cool opening Inbox in front of all your friends.
