Rushville Republican
Last Wednesday night, at 10:43 p.m., I realized I was missing the following items:
1. My garage door opener
2. My keys
3. My reading glasses
4. Christmas presents for my wife
This is the most lost I've ever had. Wait, that doesn't sound right. How about: This is the most that I have ever had lost. Good enough.
I usually post a list on my refrigerator of the things in my life that are presently missing. Then I check each one off as I find it. This gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I am one of the world's biggest losers, but once I admitted to myself what a loser I was, I knew I had truly found myself; one of the few things, by the way, not lost at 10:43 p.m. last Wednesday night.
THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER: The way I get into my house from the car is through the garage. And I'd have no reason to bring the garage door opener with me when I got out of the car. Ergo (whatever, that means), the garage door opener must still have been in the car. I raced out to the garage, threw open the doors to my SUV and scoured every inch. I never found it. So, now when I get home, I have to get out of the car in the driveway, go around to the side door of the garage, go inside and hit the wall switch, then get back in the car, drive into the garage and close the door, again with the wall switch. This is inconvenient, but at least I know the opener has to be in the car. So it's not lost. I crossed "garage door opener" off my list.
MY CAR KEYS: I looked for my car keys for two hours. I couldn't find them. I then applied a similar logic to that of the missing garage door opener. First, I observed that I was home. I further noted that just the day before, I was somewhere else. Then I did that ergo thing again and realized that the only way to get from where I was to my house was in my car. Once again a great weight was lifted (I wish it had been the garage door) and I knew my car keys had to be in the house. I repeated this story to my cab driver all day Thursday as he drove me around town and he did find it mildly amusing. He also found days like this very profitable. Apparently, he has a dozen customers who claim they haven't lost their keys, just like I hadn't. I crossed keys off my list.
MY READING GLASSES: Once again, I applied inescapable deductive reasoning to my dilemma. I can't read a lick without my glasses, but I remembered just hours earlier enjoying a Time magazine article about the TV hit Homeland. So, my glasses were not lost at all; they had to be somewhere in the house. If only I could see, I would be able to find them. The third item was then crossed off.
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR MY WIFE: I shopped early this holiday season and then hid everything. Now I can't find the cashmere scarf or the wool sweater I bought her back in November. I did find the watch and the fuzzy slippers I stashed in the back of my closet, but those were her gifts for last year. I always buy her the exact items she wants, but it looks like this Christmas I'm a year behind. Maybe I'm just losing it.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
When Mercy Health System decided last year to build its new hospital at 50th Street and Hearnes Boulevard, Jim Brown and Nancy Hutson knew immediately that change was coming.
Brown is the mayor of Redings Mill, one of the villages south of Joplin nearest the hospital; Hutson is an owner of Cycle Connection Harley-Davidson, 5014 Hearnes Blvd., the nearest business.
They are wondering what that change might look like in three years or so when the hospital opens.
Local real estate agents say they might not have to wait too long to see that change. It's already under way and will only grow in momentum when highway improvements near the hospital are made this spring and the opening of the hospital gets closer.
Others, like Dr. Cindy Croy, whose medical office was destroyed by the May 22, 2011, tornado, decided to jump right in with both feet. She is building a new office building on South Main Street so her practice will be close to both the new Mercy and Freeman Health System.
Some commercial and residential properties along Main Street, south of 26th Street, and Hearnes Boulevard, south of 32nd Street, have already been listed; some, such as the Capri Motel, have already changed hands with an eye toward redevelopment. Strip malls with space for offices also are being planned for vacant land along South Main Street.
Underlying the commercial property changes is another change in the value of property near the hospital — the increase in home values.
"You can't help but see it grow,'' said David Glenn, a local commercial real estate agent. "There will be a need for upscale housing for doctors and support staff. They will want to live within 10 to 15 minutes of their work.
"That has increased the value of the residential property all around that hospital, which, if you ask me, is going to be like a billboard on Interstate 44 for Joplin. It's going to be fabulous for Joplin.''
Redings Mill
The quaint little village of Redings Mill along picturesque Shoal Creek has a population of 151. Houses sell there from time to time. It's not what you would call a beehive of activity.
"After it was announced that Mercy had bought that land, the calls started coming in,'' said Mayor Jim Brown. "I had many, many calls asking if there were any places down here for sale or if there was any ground that could be bought.
"We have had several people come here on weekends, and drive around and look at places. I think the new hospital is going to have an impact on us for sure."
The village, located a mile south of the construction site, has a water system, but no sewer system. It has three prominent businesses. Only the Redings Mill Inn and Redings Mill Storage are operating. Arde's Villa, the former site of the Redings Mill Pool, is for sale.
Brown said it is likely people seeking land for home construction will go even farther south into Newton County.
"There are at least a couple of housing subdivisions being built on farm land south of Spring City. I think that area will be a good place for new houses,'' he said. "What that means for us is that our Highway 86 is going to be heavily traveled in the future by people who build homes out here and use that highway to get to work.''
Hutson, of Cycle Connection, said she was ecstatic when she realized that her business would be the closest commercial development to the hospital.
"Developers called us immediately about buying our property. We did not want to make a rash decision. We needed to figure out what's best for us. It was: 'Wait a second, we've got three years or so before the hospital is finished. Let's think about this,'" she said.
"We first thought this area is going to explode. We'll have incredible visibility and exposure. It will be great for business,'' she said. "Then, we let the information soak in.
"We are thinking: Is this what God wants us to do? What if he is opening another door? What if we are not supposed to be here and this is an opportunity for us to relocate someplace else?'' she said.
After further thought, the decision was made to list the property for sale at $6.75 million because of the increase in the value of the land and the improvements that had been made to it over the years. That money could then be used to defer the cost of relocation to another site.
"Our business is doing very well and this is a great location for us. Now, we have this option to see if the opportunity might present itself,'' she said. "There will be a surge in activity next spring when they do the highway work. Who knows what might happen after that,'' she said.
"The word fluid is exactly right in describing what's happening here. We really could find ourselves in a position where we could relocate. That's how fluid it is.''
Some not happy
To the east of the new hospital, in the village of Leawood, not everyone is happy with their new neighbor and the $350 million hospital campus now under construction.
Denny Desmond, chairman of the board of trustees, has made no secret of his opposition to commercial development within the village limits since Sisters of Mercy Health System purchased 103 acres adjoining the western edge of the village. The hospital site is in Joplin's city limits.
"We are committed to maintaining Leawood as a residential village," Desmond said soon after the Mercy announcement. "We don't see any need for commercial (zones) within our village; it compromises our residents."
Village officials, citing concerns about traffic and insufficient infrastructure, blocked a proposed development by David Powell, who wanted to develop land near 44th Street and Connecticut Avenue, west of Silver Creek Galleria. He wanted 42.5 acres rezoned from agricultural to commercial, and discussed the possibility of restaurants, a grocery store and medical offices. During a village hearing, 58 residents spoke against Powell's plan, while three were in favor of it.
Rather than face a legal battle with Powell, village leaders later deannexed the land, which was then brought into Joplin. Joplin officials were willing to allow some commercial development, but disagreed with Powell over what level of development was appropriate for the property.
Powell could not be reached for comment.
Main renaissance
Dr. Cindy Croy was looking at South Main as the site for her new office building to replace her office that existed at 25th Street and Jackson Avenue before the tornado. She found available land at the northwest corner of 28th and Main streets where some storefronts had been badly damaged by the storm.
"We looked at different properties and what we thought might be the best location for the future,'' she said. "I wanted a good location for my practice and to make a good investment. And, I really wanted Main Street.
"We purchased this property after the announcement by Mercy,'' she said. "It's an opportunity to be a little closer and have easier access to both hospitals. I'm independent. I use both hospitals.''
Croy constructed a 10,000-square-foot building that would be large enough to house her family practice and also provide space for a retail business or restaurant.
"We think we are in a good spot. It's exciting to be on this part of Main Street during this renaissance. We can only imagine what this area will look like five years from now,'' she said.
What experts think
"The new hospital will be the major anchor for that entry way into Joplin,'' said Troy Bolander, Joplin's city planner. "All of our Interstate 44 entry ways had anchors except that one. The hospital is now enticing new development to that area.''
Bolander said the City Council and the city's planning and zoning commission will be guiding development in that area so that it is compatible with the hospital. The master planner will not be involved in that area.
"These will be services that will complement the hospital — the offices and other support services, such as restaurants, that will support the visitors and employees of that hospital in that area,'' he said.
"It's happening now. Once the infrastructure is in place and the hospital is getting ready to open, that will make adjacent properties more conducive for development.''
Gil Stevens, a Joplin real estate agent, said, "The area around the hospital is not primed yet for immediate development. That situation will be a whole lot better a couple of years from now when the streets out there are redone.
"When the hospital gets closer to the finish line, that's when there will be more activity.''
Construction of a roundabout is being planned for 50th Street and Hearnes Boulevard. A second roundabout will be constructed in front of the hospital on 50th Street, the elevation of which will be lowered significantly by the time the hospital opens.
"I'm getting inquiries from people about the property out there. We have had some lookers. Nothing has happened yet,'' Stevens said. "I think it's going to be a lot like what happened where the old hospital used to be. It's built and the development takes place around it.''
Past and future
John Farnen, executive director of strategic projects for Sister of Mercy Health System, said the past should serve as a guide to the future.
"Usually, all of the property values around a new hospital increase. The land directly around the hospital becomes commercial, with restaurants and gas stations,'' he said. "They want to open around the hospital because there will be several thousand people there — the patients, the customers and the employees. You'll need a whole lot of business support for the facility.''
Farnen said the impact on residential property could be even greater.
"There will be an increase in the number of people we need. We're going to be hiring people to run this facility. That will affect all of the housing around there. You would expect it to go up because there will be more demand for it.''
Farnen said Mercy hospital also will be making improvements to the streets around the hospital, including 50th Street and South Indiana Avenue.
"We are lowering 50th Street and taking the blind spots out of it and Indiana. We want to improve the safety of all of the streets around that hospital because of the school (South Middle School),'' he said. "Usually, when we build a hospital, it's good for property values — they often double — and that becomes a positive for the community.''

Honda shows off Concept C and Concept S at Beijing motor show
Alongside the Chinese introduction of its new ILX and RDX, Honda rolled out two concept vehicles that the company says presage new models to hit the Chinese market.
The "C" in "Concept C" apparently stands for "cool," "challenge" and "China," which is er, um, iffy, but at least it's a departure from Honda's as-of-late anodyne exterior design. Though it rather closely resembles a late-model Hyundai dressed up in Super Sentai garb, Honda claims that the C's design was inspired by a dragon. How very magnanimous.
Aimed at the Chinese middle class, the Concept C's production variant will see daylight next year.
While developed mainly for the Chinese market, Honda notes that the mass-market people carrier that springs from the head of the Concept S will be a global model. Whether that means we'll see it in the United States is unclear.
We do, however, know that the Concept S has some sort of hybrid powertrain and looks like a galactic undersea giant's pet cyber slug. Which, if you found yourself confused, is a good thing. Just trust us.

Oh, Rebecca's "Heaven" actually shifted 128,000 copies in the first week!
That would be enough for number 1 pretty much any other week this year.

Being signed by Syco is like the kiss of death for almost every winner! Matt needs to suck this up, hope to get dropped sooner rather than later and find a label who will promote who he is as an artist and musician. Glad Ferguson's album is doing well. It's had excellent reviews I believe.
Yep, Rebecca Ferguson's debut has been met with universal critical acclaim. All the reviews so far have been either 4 or 5 stars out of 5.
It should be also noted that she co-wrote all the songs on the album.
I've just finished listening to it. It's great. Each of the ten songs is very good and there definitely isn't any filler. And her voice (which admittedly a lot of people might not like) is very original and fits the kind of soulful music that the album contains perfectly.
I really recommend it.
To get a taste of it, here's the video to her first single "Nothing's Real But Love":
And here's a live performance of "Fairytale", one of the better songs on the album:
Back to this year's X-Factor, what I found really dissapointing in the final was the cut-price decision to come back to one winner's song being pre-picked.
It worked so much better last year with Matt and Rebecca having different songs, suited to them very well.
This year it was a disaster, IMO. "Cannonball" didn't fit Marcus whatsoever and Little Mix kinda made it fit them but at the cost of destroying the song with a horrific, cheap arrangement. It was painful to hear.
"Cannonball" would fit Janet Devlin perfectly. But not really any other finalists.

I think this year might be enough to make me not watch next year....i'm ready to give it up and start watching strictly
Following the X-Factor final:
En Vogue's "Don't Let Go (Love)" soars 62 spots to number 27.
Both "She Makes Me Wanna" and "What Makes You Beautiful" increase sales.
Damien Rice's "Cannonball" returns to the charts at number 19 (it peaked at 32 when originally released in 2009).
Leona Lewis debuts at number 8 with "Hurt".
"Paradise" jumps 5 places up to number 2. Their album rose 5 places to number 3. They make me sick. Chris Martin slated X-Factor numerous times, then said that the band is split about performing during the final and then said that X-Factor is very important and that they are honoured about taking part.
And surprise, surprise Little Mix's "Cannonball" is number 1.
But they've sold "only" 210,000 copies. Biggest week 1 sales of the year but way way less than Matt Cardle's "When We Collide" which sold around 350,000 units, IIRC. I think the problem here it's not the right song. Neither for them, nor for their target audience.
I think the chances of them getting the Christmas number 1 are pretty much none.
Popjustice hit the nail on the head. "How about an X Factor winner's single that isn't shit".
On another note, Kelly didn't manage to conquer the UK. Her album peaked at 43 and is dropping. Given the huge exposure she got thanks to being a judge, it's a total failure.
On yet another note, Jai McDowall's debut album has been released last week only you wouldn't have found out about it. Hardly any promotion, not even a video, nothing. Surprise surprise, it's a total flop debuting at number 54.
Honestly, why bother spending all the money to produce it if you're going to pull something like that.
And finally: LA Reid has signed "Crocodile Tear Evil Puppet" Cher Lloyd. So she has a record deal now and can unleash her shockingly bad novelty hits upon the poor, unsuspecting American public.

Wasn't he the guy who won BGT ? He was totally unforgetable then
He's got no personality whatsoever
My faves are Superhero
Over the Moon
End up Here
As far as I'm concerned, Cher's album is best summed up with:
"Otherwise, with the wot-evaah mockney petulance, the rap-by-numbers braggadocio, the rote complaints about deficient boyfriends, and the half-hearted electro beats bashed out by the half-dozen different producers, this is about as generic as pop gets, the authentic sound of emasculated corporate teen fodder masquerading as rebellion."
I found him super super hot back during his time on BGT. Rough bad boy looks.
But now they've metrosexualised him and he makes me limp.
PS- love Olly Murs too, haters be damned!
Kelly Rowland is out. I read an article that said she didn't like the huge circus surrounding the show AND that Simon wasn't pleased with her performance as a judge.
Is this shocking to anyone else? I never watched as I don't live in the U.K. but all I have heard are rave reviews about Kelly as a judge. Is my perception all wrong?
I wouldn't be surprised to see her wind up on the U.S. version and this was all just rumor and/or to get attention.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
I thought Kelly was a good judge, with good constructive feedback (at least leading up the live shows). She seemed to really try to help the acts (i'm thinking when she kept making groups sing things again and show her their harmonies. What she wasn't very good at was picking songs for her acts. She picked songs that would go down with a US audience but not the UK audience. There were some weeks where her acts picked their own songs and she didn't even know the song.
I think Simon would be an idiot to not ask her to do the US version since Nicole and Paula were absolute shyte on it, but since he's not likely to boot Paula again, nicole while probably be replaced by her.

Cumberland Times-News
I turn to the opinion page and the comics first. I find them equally entertaining. And never thought I would write.
But a recent letter struck a nerve. We are not a democracy, and the majority does not rule, we are a represented republic.
I do not always agree with the decisions of the representatives. My recourse is at the voting booth. Forty-six years ago I fought an unpopular war.
I was not drafted. I volunteered and was labeled a fool. Words cannot describe the bond established with fellow soldiers, in combat.
By the grace of God I am the last man standing, as all in my squad have passed either in combat or since.
To express or think shame for being an American is un-American and dishonors my fallen brothers and sisters, as well anyone else who has served this great country.
I was compelled to write, as I refuse to believe I am the only one with this opinion!

Comcast Corp.'s $45.2 billion deal to buy Time Warner Cable Inc., the Triangle's dominant provider, will create a new cable giant that's likely to face continued challenges with customer service, industry analysts said.
Comcast, like Time Warner Cable, has been rolling out new digital services in recent years, but both companies remain mired at the bottom of annual rankings by the America Customer Satisfaction Index, trailing other cable companies as well as satellite and telecommunications companies.
Comcast officials said the combination will allow it to more quickly deploy innovative products and services for millions of customers. Industry analysts, however, said the companies are not likely to win over customers already grumbling about high prices and poor reliability anytime soon.
The deal announced Thursday "makes sense from an investor point of view," said industry analyst Jeff Kagan. "But I don't expect any change for customers in experience."
The planned acquisition ends a long-running drama over which competitor would buy New York-based Time Warner Cable. The all-stock deal heads off an unfriendly offer from Charter Communications and is expected to close by year end. The combination will likely face close scrutiny from regulators.
Comcast is expected to save $1.5 billion in annual costs over three years, with half of that realized in the first year. Comcast officials did not detail cost cuts but said there was always duplication across two large, publicly traded companies.
"There will be very little impact on the vast majority of employees," Time Warner Cable spokesman Scott Pryzwansky said. "Comcast will need talented, motivated employees to operate the cable systems."
Time Warner Cable will proactively communicate with customers about any changes in services and offerings over the course of the merger, Pryzwansky said.
Comcast plans to divest 3 million pay TV subscribers after the deal closes. With 22 million of its own pay TV customers and Time Warner Cable's 11.2 million, the combined entity will end up with about 30 million subscribers, a level believed not to trigger the concern of antitrust authorities. A formal cap was dissolved years ago by regulators, but divesting subscribers could help the deal get approved more quickly.
In a conference call for investors on Thursday, Comcast officials said they have not identified markets to divest and would evaluate the possibilities over the next several months.
The price amounts to $158.82 per share for Time Warner Cable's roughly 285 million outstanding shares and is about 17 percent above that stock's Wednesday closing price of $135.31. It trumps a proposal by Charter to buy Time Warner for about $132.50 per share, or $38 billion in cash and stock.
Bottom-ranked in industry
Philadelphia-based Comcast is already the biggest cable provider and the owner of NBCUniversal, which operates TV networks, Universal Pictures and Universal Parks and Resorts. The company said it will bring its cable, Internet and phone services, which operate under the "Xfinity" brand, to Time Warner customers, while keeping Time Warner Cable services such as a feature that allows customers to start live TV programs at the beginning.
"The playbook at Comcast and with our Xfinity products is all-digital network with the fastest broadband and fastest in-home Wi-Fi, with the most on-demand offerings and a suite of capabilities on tablets and smartphones that allow consumers to access that content whenever they want, wherever they want it," Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts said in a conference call with reporters.
Kagan, the industry analyst, said Comcast has been rolling out its all-digital network market by market. But it has faced some complaints, including the fact that the service requires consumers to use a cable box for each TV, he said.
Time Warner is all digital in New York City, but not across the rest of its footprint, including the Carolinas, said Pryzwansky.
In the latest American Customer Service Satisfaction Index survey, Comcast received the second-worst ranking among subscription television service providers, with a 63 out of 100, just ahead of Time Warner's 60. Both were also at the bottom of the Internet service provider rankings. Verizon Communications was at the top of both lists, with a 73 for TV service and a 71 for Internet service.
Customer service an issue
Overall, Internet service providers and television subscription providers fared the worst among the dozens of industries ranked by the customer satisfaction tracker, said David VanAmburg, managing director of the ACSI. Internet service providers received a 65 overall, compared to a 78 for banks, for example.
"It's a combination of price and reliability," VanAmburg said of consumer complaints about the industry. "That's really sapping customer satisfaction across the board."
Just like when banks, airlines and other big companies merge, Comcast and Time Warner also risk more complaints as they combine operations, he said.
"We have typically seen that for a service provider, there is going to be some negative impact in the short term when there is a merger of two very large companies," he said.
The Comcast-Time Warner deal also faces questions over what it will do to competition in the market. Public Knowledge, a Washington-based consumer rights group, said in a statement that regulators must stop the deal, because it would give Comcast "unprecedented gatekeeper power in several important markets."
Comcast is taking the position that because the two companies don't serve overlapping markets, their combination won't reduce competition for consumers. Comcast operates mainly in the northeast including its home base of Philadelphia and places such as Boston, Washington and Chicago. Time Warner Cable has strongholds around its headquarters in New York as well as Los Angeles, Dallas and Milwaukee.
In many of those areas, the combined Comcast/Time Warner Cable will face competition from rivals AT&T and Verizon, which provide both pay TV services and Internet hookups. Both AT&T and Verizon are growing quickly. They ended 2013 with 5.5 million and 5.3 million pay TV subscribers, respectively. The Associated Press contributed.

By KEVIN HARRIS
When you ask any diehard Charlestown High School sports fan who the best athletes in their school's history are, they can reel off an impressive list.
Those names include Steve Hamilton, Abby Conklin, Chad Gilbert, Kristin Mattox and B.J. Steele.
Now, Aaron Daniel is a part of that list.
During his senior year in 2012-13, Daniel solidified himself as one of the best players in the history of Charlestown football and then helped the Pirates' boys' basketball team post a winning record.
The contributions Daniel made to both teams have earned him the News and Tribune's inaugural Boys' Athlete of the Year honor.
A voting panel of area coaches, athletic directors, media members and fans selected Daniel from a list of 14 candidates. To be eligible for the honor, the student-athlete must have played at least two sports and been on a News and Tribune All-Area team in at least one sport.
"It's absolutely well-deserved," Charlestown boys' basketball coach Sean Smith said. "Aaron accomplished so much last season, especially in football but in basketball as well. He's the closest thing to the total package we have at Charlestown. He never gets caught in the moment. He never gets rattled."
Daniel was grateful to have received the honor against so many worthy area male athletes.
"It's incredible," Daniel said in a recent phone interview. "There are a lot of great athletes in the area. There are lots of great baseball and basketball players in the area, so it's an honor to have this."
Daniel gained 3,841 total yards as the Pirates' starting quarterback last season. He accumulated a school-record 2,075 passing yards and 1,766 rushing yards. Along with the yardage, Daniel was a part of 68 touchdowns, with a school-record 36 coming through the air and a school-record 32 on the ground.
Daniel's production and leadership enabled Charlestown to have one of its best seasons ever. The Pirates finished the regular season undefeated and ranked No. 2 in the final Associated Press Class 3A poll.
Charlestown won the outright Mid-Southern Conference championship and the Class 3A Sectional 23 title. But the Pirates' state championship quest ended in the Class 3A regional at Dutch Reis Field, as Charlestown lost a heartbreaking, yet thrilling battle against Gibson Southern, 57-49. The Pirates finished the 2012 season with a 12-1 record.
Daniel won the News and Tribune Area Player of the Year honor and was named to the Indiana Football Coaches Association Top 50 All-State team.
Despite falling in the regional, Daniel was proud of his team's accomplishments last year.
"It was a great season. We had a very good team," Daniel said. "It was just a great time to be there."
Daniel concluded his Charlestown football career owning 18 school records. That included the program's all-time passing record (5,637 yards), the career rushing mark (4,506) and the all-time touchdown record (86). Daniel gained 10,143 total yards in his high school career.
Charlestown football coach Jason Hawkins was happy to see his star player receive the Boys' Athlete of the Year award.
"I think it's a great honor for him to win. It shows what he accomplished in his career," Hawkins said.
Along with fellow senior Chris Braun, Daniel led the Pirates' boys' basketball team to an 11-10 overall record and a 5-4 MSC mark. Daniel averaged 16.2 points per game and led the team in assists (108). He made the News and Tribune All-Area third team and was selected the team's top defensive player for the third consecutive season.
"Aaron is one of those kids that doesn't get too high or too low," Smith said. "He stays focused. He's an intelligent young man and he's coachable. He's going to give you 100 percent. Everything he earns, he deserves. He's a great representative in all the aspects of Charlestown High School."
Whether he was on the gridiron or the hardwood, Daniel says he tried to lead his teammates by example.
"I just go hard in practice and in drills," Daniel said. "I just tried to show the guys how things should be done."
Hawkins concurs that Daniel leads by letting his actions do the talking in anything he does.
"Aaron is a leader by example on how he performed on the field, the weight room and in the classroom," Hawkins said.
In the fall, Daniel will attend Indiana University in Bloomington and be a preferred walk-on on the Hoosiers' football team. Daniel is expected to be a safety at IU and has prepared for his freshman season by adding 20 pounds of muscle to his frame.
Even though the odds are against Daniel as far as getting any playing time with the Hoosiers, Hawkins says Daniel will take that as a challenge and work hard to get onto the field.
"Aaron came into Charlestown never playing quarterback and he did that for four years," Hawkins said. "He'll do whatever it takes. He'll do whatever the coaches ask him to do. He's got a great opportunity."
Smith agrees.
"I'm not a football guy, but I know this — he's an ultra-competitive kid," Smith said. "He'll give 100 percent on and off the field and be a contributor to the Indiana Hoosiers' football program."

What can any of us hope to achieve in a career? Earn enough to take care of our families, help others along the way, perhaps attain some professional success, and maybe build something for the next generation, if we are so fortunate.
How about building a company that has become a pillar of an entire city, employing more than 14,000 people across several states, and earning a reputation for honesty and integrity?
In the 29 years since he came to Buffalo, Robert G. Wilmers has done these things. It's hard to think of anyone who has done as much for his adopted city.
During a lunch meeting recently, Wilmers, 77, discussed the bank's success, giving credit to his employees, and offered some ideas about Buffalo's attributes for the future. The bank has a competitive hiring program that brings in a cadre of college graduates and MBA's each year. That force has grown to more than 800 employees throughout the company. That recruitment and retention of young talent has helped the bank and the community. M&T employees are known for their community involvement, something Wilmers cares about and stresses. He has said often that the bank can succeed only if the community succeeds. And the intimate local knowledge a bank and its people develop help it make good loans. Basic banking.
Many of the region's other banks are populated with former M&T people, spreading the gospel of conservative, community-based lending.
As for Buffalo's attributes, Wilmers points to the region's strong higher education infrastructure - colleges that can produce capable workers and leaders. And he sees the region's growing medical infrastructure as a bright sector that can be built upon.
Wilmers has ruffled more than a few feathers in town with his annual letters to stockholders, which he presents with the annual report. Local unions, schools, political leaders have all been called out. And he has called out the bank itself for ill-advised investments in collateralized debt obligations that sank with the mortgage crisis.
Wilmers reputation reaches far beyond Buffalo. American Banker magazine named him "Banker of the Year" last year, a nationwide honor, and in June he participated in the Clinton Global Initiative America 2012 Meeting in Chicago. And the bank now stretches into six states and the District of Columbia.
When Wilmers came to Buffalo, he was welcomed by the banking establishment, which recognized the value of having a viable M&T Bank as competition. He also found a welcoming, unpretentious city.
And the city found a modest leader who embraced it.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
With three teams in the top four of the BCS, it's easy to see why the SEC is known as the powerhouse of college football.
But as dominate as the SEC has been this year, another conference has been flying a little under the radar.
The Big 12 has a total of nine teams that are bowl eligible — including Oklahoma State. And with the bowl season quickly approaching, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is excited to see just how the Big 12 stacks up against the likes of the Pac-12, ACC and even the powerhouse SEC.
"In my opinion, you have the SEC that has a lot of teams in the top 10 in the country, which is very impressive," Gundy said. "Then there's some fall off between some of the other teams, in some people's opinions. In this league, you have a couple that are way up there, and then you have the rest of the pack for the most part that we'll find out during bowl season if the offenses are as good as people say they are. I'm excited about that part of it to find out if we're really good on offense in this league, which I think we are because I watch it, or we're not really good on offense in this league and we have a long ways to go to catch up, which makes for a great discussion."
But before the Cowboys look ahead to the bowl season, they will first have one last chance to sharpen that offense when they travel to Baylor Saturday.
"It's another week in the Big 12," Gundy said. "(It) should be an exciting game and I'm looking forward to a week of preparation and traveling down to play Saturday morning in Waco."

Bartholomew Named Mid-Con Athlete of the Week
Tuesday, May 16, 2006Steve Bartholomew (Valparaiso, Ind./Morgan Township H.S.) has received Mid-Continent Conference Athlete of the Week honors after being named the Mid-Con Athlete of the Year at the 2006 Mid-Con Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Bartholomew earned the gold in two events on his way to becoming the first Valpo athlete, male or female, to take Athlete of the Year honors at the Mid-Con Outdoor Championships. He opened the meet with a bang, taking top honors in the hammer with a throw of 189'7", surpassing his own school record and winning the event by almost nine feet.
He then unleashed a monster effort in the discus to qualify for the NCAA regional meet, posting a mark of 170'4", an astounding 18 feet longer than his closest competitor. He also broke his own school record in the event by almost seven feet.
Bartholomew will compete in both the hammer and the discus at the NCAA Mideast Regional Championships in Knoxville, Tenn. on May 26. The hammer will kick off the meet at 10 a.m. CDT, while the discus will begin at 2 p.m.

Two big birthdays are in the news this week.
First, this Monday (1) marks the 16th birthday of young singing sensation Justin Bieber--whose rise from fresh-faced newcomer to chartbuster to subject of massive worldwide adulation appeared to happen in short months. Happy Birthday, Justin!
Secondly, this Tuesday (2) marks the 15th birthday of Yahoo! itself--making us a whippersnapper in Justin's eyes but still, we'd like to think, nearly as popular.
And here's a little birthday talk from the birthday boy himself!
In celebration of the birthdays, Justin is giving away an iPod with his new album loaded on it! Want to enter? Go to: http://www.justinbiebermusic.com/birthday/
We're encouraging everyone to wish Justin and Yahoo! a happy birthday by creating a birthday message and uploading it to Flickr. It can be you simply holding a sign you made, or whatever--just make sure to tag it "happybdayjustin" when you go to http://www.justinbiebermusic.com/birthday/). We'll announce a winner on March 23rd--the same day Justin's new album comes out!
In the meantime, check out some of the Justin madness going on in Europe just a few weeks ago!

Interactive whiteboards can bring even the most information intensive training sessions and meetings to life, a concept, which is difficult to convey without the use of an interactive whiteboard.
Distance learning and collaboration systems are rapidly gaining momentum and importance as a method of sharing ideas and resources internationally. As more and more business and teaching is being conducted internationally, both within multinational companies and educational organizations and between different companies in different countries, advanced communication systems are becoming more important.
Informed decision making is key to the successful handling of an incident. Often however, the expertise and reference material required to make decisions, is spread-out not just geographically, but also between organizations.
ABCOM Solutions specifies and installs systems, which allow the clear communication of ideas between incident handlers and the secure sharing of information with authorized external parties.
The 'information rich' environment enabled by our systems allows the incident to be handled using whichever emergency management model best suits the situation. Unified, central command is facilitated by having all the known facts available to the management team to decide upon the course of action. Distributed command can be affected, whilst keeping all parties informed and minimizing time-consuming duplication of effort.

Although the Mets have been struggling the last few games, one person that continues to impress me is Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who has done an excellent job with the injuries with which the Mets have had to deal.
Nieuwenhuis tied his career highs with three runs scored and three hits last night. He has the fourth-highest average (.295) among NL rookies, and ranks first with 59 hits, tied for first with 35 runs scored, tied for second with 20 walks, tied for fourth with 20 RBI and ranks fourth with a .359 on-base percentage.
He certainly isn't perfect as we'd all like to see him cut his strikeout number down, but Kirk will not be going down to Buffalo any time soon. I think he has forced his way into the line-up, and with the way that Andres Torres is struggling, Nieuwenhuis could very well be the center fielder moving forward.
It's getting crowded in this outfield with Nieuwenhuis, Lucas Duda, Jason Bay, Andres Torres and Scott Hairston. How would you address this good problem that's developing for Terry Collins?
