Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)
STOCKTON, Calif. – A California teenager has learned the hard way that he's no Santa Claus.
18-year-old George Herrera got stuck in a chimney while trying to sneak into his house Thursday.
The teen was breaking curfew and trying to get inside his home. Herrera was trapped near the chimney bottom for about 90 minutes before emergency crews were called around 10:15 a.m. When they arrived, they could see his feet sticking out of the fireplace.
Rays says rescuers secured ropes around the teenager's wrists and pulled him up about 8 feet with the help of a fire truck ladder.
Officials say Herrera wasn't hurt and was allowed to return home after the rescue, which took about 15 minutes.
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – Two New York high school athletes have been flagged for organizing several "kneel-downs" in tribute to Tim Tebow.
The mother of 17-year-old twins Connor and Tyler Carroll says they are impressed with the Denver Broncos quarterback. Tebow has led Denver to a 7-1 record and is a devout Christian known for kneeling in prayer on the gridiron.
The twins play football and baseball for Riverhead High School on Long Island. Mom Sherry Carroll says they had no religious intentions when they organized the kneel-downs this week.
About 40 students participated in the largest act of "Tebowing" on Wednesday.
District Superintendent Nancy Carney says the tribute posed a safety hazard by blocking others from getting to class.
Sherry Carroll says Connor served an in-school suspension Friday. Tyler serves his punishment Monday.
BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese police have arrested a man who hired two strippers to perform at his son's wedding after the performance was mobbed by villagers, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Zhang Cheng had originally wanted a band to play at the nuptials, but was then advised he could get performers who’s show would have "special features," the Global Times said.
"After watching the show, Zhang decided it would be appropriate for his son's wedding and requested two strippers for the event," it added. "...Barely five minutes had passed before hundreds of villagers in the conservative community were swarming to the venue, trying to catch a glimpse."
Zhang was arrested the next day, the newspaper reported, though it did not say on what charge.

Magnificent 7 – Don’t be THAT guy
Honorable Mentions:
-Hold the door open from just a bit too far away Guy – On the surface, this guy is nice, but in reality, he’s making you feel rushed to get to the door so he can stop watching you walk towards him. Plus he gets to feel superior while you have to feel indebted to him just because he doesn’t have the good sense to just let you open the door for yourself.
-Kenyon Martin – Don’t be Kenyon Martin
-Flat rimmed baseball cap
7. I wouldn’t change a thing Guy – He’s getting interviewed, and his life has fallen apart, but when the interviewer asks him what he’d do different, he says NOTHING.
6. Pulls his pants to his ankles at the urinal Guy – Just gross.
5. First kiss at the wedding Guy – The Virgin Diaries, couple gets married and their first kiss comes right after the minister pronounces them man and wife. They then proceed to eat each other’s faces.
4. Brushes his teeth in the office bathroom Guy – I’m all for oral hygiene, but no one wants to see you with a foamy mouth in the office bathroom. Handle your business at home.
3. Brags about how drunk he gets Guy -
2. Overusing “That’s what she said” Guy – It’s not that good of a joke, but when you do it 47 times an hour, it becomes something sinister and evil.
1. Bad at Email Guy – Constantly forwarding crap, don’t understand how to do recurring meetings, so he sends a request for a full year’s of meetings all at once…one by one, Hits reply all to make a bad joke so the whole department can read it.
Tom Brady Joke:
Tom Brady, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Patriots flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity Tom, said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.
On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the ...corner. It was a huge 3-story mansion with Orange and Blue sidewalks and drive ways, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Broncos logo flag waving, a swimming pool in shape of a horse, a Broncos logo in every window, and a Tim Tebow jersey on the front door.
Tom looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I won 3 Super Bowls, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."
God said "So what's your point Tom?"
"Well, why does Tim Tebow get a better house than me?"
God chuckled, and said "Tom, that's not Tim's house, it's mine."
All he does is win – DJ Steve Porter
This is getting ridiculous – Broncos have trailed at the 2 minute warning in their last 4 games. 4-0 during those games, by the way.
