Phyllis Schlafly has been a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, A Choice Not An Echo. Phyllis Schlafly has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972, when Phyllis Schlafly started her national volunteer organization now called Eagle Forum. In a ten-year battle, Phyllis Schlafly led the pro-family movement to victory over the principal legislative goal of the radical feminists, called the Equal Rights Amendment. An articulate and successful opponent of the radical feminist movement, Phyllis Schlafly appears in debate on college campuses more frequently than any other conservative. Phyllis Schlafly was named one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century by the Ladies' Home Journal.
Phyllis Schlafly's monthly newsletter called The Phyllis Schlafly Report is now in its 38th year. Phyllis Schlafly's syndicated column appears in 100 newspapers, her radio commentaries are heard daily on 460 stations, and her radio talk show on education called "Phyllis Schlafly Live" is heard weekly on 45 stations. Both can be heard on the internet.
Phyllis Schlafly is the author or editor of 20 books on subjects as varied as family and feminism (The Power of the Positive Woman), nuclear strategy (Strike From Space and Kissinger on the Couch), education (Child Abuse in the Classroom), child care (Who Will Rock the Cradle?), and a phonics book (Turbo Reader). Phyllis Schlafly's most recent book, Feminist Fantasies, is a collection of essays on feminism in the media, workplace, home, and the military.
Phyllis Schlafly is a lawyer and served as a member of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, 1985-1991, appointed by President Reagan. Phyllis Schlafly has testified before more than 50 Congressional and State Legislative committees on constitutional, national defense, and family issues.
Phyllis Schlafly is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Washington University, received her J.D. from Washington University Law School, and received her Master's in Political Science from Harvard University.
Phyllis Schlafly is America's best-known advocate of the dignity and honor that we as a society owe to the role of fulltime homemaker. The mother of six children, Phyllis Schlafly was the 1992 Illinois Mother of the Year.
President Barack Obama and his feminist friends have been trotting out their tiresome slogan that women are paid only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. Every reputable scholar who has commented has proved that this is a notorious falsehood that anyone should be embarrassed to use.
Oh, how the tide has turned against abortion. Just last week, there were three stunning setbacks to the pro-abortion movement.
A federal court in Kansas just rendered a much-needed decision against the central government's interference with state efforts to combat voter fraud. Kansas and Arizona won total support for their laws to stop voter registration by illegal aliens and other noncitizens, and the court ordered a federal agency to revise its forms "immediately."
The surprise victory of Republican David Jolly for a congressional seat in Florida has given new life to voters who had been depressed about the power of the Obama campaign machine.
The United States is at "a constitutional tipping point" and "in the midst of a constitutional crisis." Has President Barack Obama unilaterally overturned the constitutional framework of three branches that is the basis of our unique and successful system of self-government?
One of the major reasons why moms are vigorously opposing schools adopting the much-ballyhooed Common Core standards is that they are tied to the gathering and storing of in-depth personal data about every child.
Many people said ho-hum when President Barack Obama threatened to change any law with his pen or phone, and even use that power to personally alter Obamacare and the welfare law, and to "legislate" the Dream Act that Congress refused to pass.
When President Barack Obama said he planned to "fundamentally transform" the United States, he wasn't referring only to spreading the wealth around or even to conforming our foreign-trade regulations to the dictates of globalist busybodies.
The Congressional Budget Office just reported that Obamacare will shrink the U.S. workforce by 2.5 million full-time jobs. That's stunning confirmation of how President Barack Obama's favorite legislative legacy is (as even Democrats have admitted) a "train wreck."
"Get right with the law" is the trendy new poll-tested slogan that's supposed to make both amnesty-resistant Americans and illegal aliens accept whatever so-called immigration reform Congress considers.
The takeover of Fallujah by al-Qaida wipes out our costly 2004 victory in which we captured the Iraqi city at the cost of 100 Marines and soldiers killed in action, and hundreds more wounded.
The media are currently filled with reports of students in the U.S. scoring poorly on international tests.
Secretary of State John Kerry is turning out to be even more dangerous than former Secretary Hillary Clinton. "The era of the Monroe Doctrine is over," he took it upon himself to unilaterally proclaim.
It should be clear that teaching Americans we are now part of a global economy and teaching schoolchildren they are citizens of the world is a deceitful message to con us into a plan to add the poor countries around the earth to our list of welfare handout recipients.
Republicans and conservatives recognize that the principal reason for our unique abundance is our constitutional restraints on the power of government, separation of powers, balanced budgets, and a minimum of government supervision and interference in our daily lives.
Have you checked your kids' school assignments lately? You might be shocked if you do.
Catholic priests were warned that they are not permitted to minister on base during the shutdown, and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so.
The Democrats are chanting that Republicans must fully fund Obamacare because it is the law of the land, passed by Congress, signed by the president and upheld by the Supreme Court.
The problem with ObamaCare isn't only that it's careening toward a financial train wreck. It's also a slush fund to pay off Obama's political activists to carry out a massive invasion of privacy that dwarfs the NSA's collection of personal data on American citizens.
Attacks on the U.S. Constitution are coming from all sides.

Nigella Lawson arrives at London's Isleworth Crown Court on December 5. Photo: Getty
Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson's brother has come out in a passionate defence of his sister, after Ms Lawson's aides were cleared of fraud over spending more than $1.25 million of her company's money on a luxurious lifestyle.
Francesca Grillo, 35, and her 41-year-old sister Elisabetta claimed after the trial that Ms Lawson, 53, suffered from "wild mood swings" that saw her switch from a "Duracell bunny" to a "zombie". UK tabloid The Sun reported the pair's claims that the TV chef was highly erratic and irritable as she became increasingly dependent on Class A drugs and struggled to cope with the breakdown of her marriage to Charles Saatchi, 70.
But in a column for the Sunday Times, Dominic Lawson wrote that his sister had been on trial for the past month and subjected to "a technique used on hardened criminals" when questioned in court, despite not having committed any crime.

He wrote that instead of appreciating his sister's "civic duty" for agreeing to act as a witness for the Crown, Ms Lawson's name had been dragged through mud as speculation about her drug use continued after the Grillos' trial had finished.
Mr Lawson wrote that the sisters' defence – based on Ms Lawson authorising their massive spending spree in exchange for their silence about the chef's drug habit – was not part of their original defence.
"It was added many months later, close to the beginning of the trial – and then mysteriously leaked onto the internet," Mr Lawson wrote.

He claimed the judge had originally ruled this late evidence as "inadmissable", but reversed his decision after receiving a "wild email written by Saatchi about Nigella's alleged drug taking".
Francesca Grillo, who worked for Ms Lawson from 2001, told The Sun that the chef would "go from being extremely nice and very kind to being absent and grumpy".
"She was so unpredictable. Towards the end we were on eggshells with her and she became increasingly harder to deal with."
It has also emerged that the Grillo sisters' father, Michele, belonged to the Italian Mafia, and spent 15 years in jail for kidnapping the sister of a well-known fashion designer in 1981 in Italy. He held Tulia Kauten hostage for months before releasing her upon receiving a $600,000 ransom payment. The Sun reported that Mr Grillo now runs a "respectable haulage business" in Italy.
Mr Lawson also slammed the media for publishing "tendentious columns" about his sister, as well as choosing "the most sensational headlines" without giving "a second's thought to legal balance".
"Naturally, I understand that for newspaper columnists, desperate to meet yet another deadline, human tragedy provides the ideal opportunity for a piece of hastily improvised moralising; but that self-righteousness depends ... on some sort of relation to the truth," he wrote.
The defendants' lawyers had "each spent an hour questioning my sister in minute detail on reams of credit card statements; they had not done the same thing to Saatchi, on whose company account these transactions had actually been made", he said.
The Sunday Times also published an article detailing Mr Saatchi's attempts to "publicise unproven allegations" of his former wife's alleged extensive drug use.
The newspaper revealed that five months before the Grillo fraud trial, Saatchi arranged an interview with his daughter Phoebe over allegations that Ms Lawson had smoked cannabis at home, and arranged for two members of his staff to speak to the Sunday Times about the drug taking without having direct evidence.
London's Daily Telegraph reported that Ms Lawson was furious on Saturday night when she heard that her alleged drug abuse was leaked by a public relations executive representing Mr Saatchi and the Grillo sisters.
The "concerted" drugs smear campaign began only after Ms Lawson's marriage broke up, sources close to her claimed.
The Grillo sisters' allegations that Ms Lawson abused drugs appeared in September, when they were posted on a website run by PR executive Richard Hillgrove, who runs Hillgrove PR.

Read more about Kon Tum
Remote Kon Tum province is the northernmost region of Vietnam's Central Highlands. Quite mountainous, it attracts relatively few travellers when compared to the far more touristed province of Lam Dong (home to Da Lat) further south. The provincial capital, Kon Tum town, sits on the bank of the Dakbla River and can be used as a base for forays into the surrounding countryside.
Kon Tum is a small town with the surrounding area dotted with montagnard villages. The surrounding area was the site of considerable fighting during the conflict with the Americans, and even now, decaying weapons and shells abound.
Kon Tum is known for its montagnard villages -- some of them are right on the edge of town, even within walking distance of your hotel. They received the lions share of tourists, and are well-accustomed to the routine of presenting dance and music ... Read our complete Kon Tum travel guide

Hoodoo's, mistakes and positives for Baggies
Under both Roy Hodgson and now Steve Clarke, West Brom have picked up somewhat of a reputation for breaking long-held club hoodoos: wins at Villa Park, Anfield and the Britannia stadium from last season, a double over Liverpool this season.
- Lythell: Three amigos divert spotlight from Benitez
- Delaney: Benitez beats the boo-boys
- Benitez praises Chelsea fans for backing team
In the past two campaigns, Albion have beaten Chelsea at home on both occasions. But one hoodoo that seems destined to never be broken is their poor record at Stamford Bridge, which continued on Saturday with a 1-0 loss. West Brom have now played seven games at the home of the European Champions and have never picked up so much as a point, only scoring their first goal at the ground last season through Shane Long.
Saturday was perhaps seen as the best chance yet to get something against Chelsea, with the Rafa Benitez controversy during mid-week and with Albion coming into the game on the back of two impressive performances against Liverpool and Sunderland. However, it was an uncharacteristic mistake from Gareth McAuley that ultimately proved the difference.
McAuley has been tremendous since being signed by Hodgson last summer on a free transfer from Ipswich Town. He has been a colossal figure at the back, often out-performing his more lauded partner, Jonas Olsson.
The Northern Irishman is simply a good defender. He isn't exactly Franco Baresi or Franz Beckenbauer on the ball, but he wins nearly everything in the air and stays tight to his man. He did neither of those on Saturday as he lost David Luiz at the back post from a corner, the ball being headed back to Demba Ba who certainly doesn't have a hoodoo against The Baggies, it was his sixth goal in five games against them.
The back five of Ben Foster, Steven Reid, McAuley, Olsson and Liam Ridgewell have proven to be a more than reliable defensive unit. It isn't exactly packed with pace but all five are solid Premier League performers, proven by the fact it is the first time Albion have lost with this back five in the Premier League, quite some record.
Overall, the performance could be considered a tad disappointing. The formula of sitting back and then attacking on the counter in the second half was hugely successful against Liverpool, but not so much here. West Brom showed too much respect to Chelsea after the first five minutes, they were allowed to get into their style of play and get the fans onside.
It was one of the games where The Baggies should have gone at it from the start, not gung ho, just provide a bit more support to Shane Long, who once again worked tirelessly up front with very little service of a good standard. The Chelsea supporters were clearly on edge, particularly with Benitez's midweek rant, and a poor start would have just made the atmosphere even more difficult for the players.
Pushing Marc Antoine Fortune up alongside him from the start might have helped Long. Whenever he did receive the ball in a decent area he used it well but then couldn't get into the box to attack any cross that was provided by Fortune or Graham Dorrans.
Having said all of that, coming away from Chelsea disappointed with a 1-0 defeat shows just how far West Brom have come. Despite some of these criticisms, there were certainly a few positives to take from the game. The first of these was the continued "reintegration" of Peter Odemwingie into the Albion fold.
Firstly, his arrival onto the pitch was greeted by cheers by The Baggies fans, with all the initial anger seemingly spilled out last week when Odemwingie was brought on. But what would have been of more pleasure to head coach Steve Clarke was his performance. Odemwingie looked very threatening, having a couple of nice runs at the Chelsea defence and seeing a freekick tipped over by Petr Cech.
It is important that Odemwingie is reintegrated because he is one of few players at the club who is willing and capable of running at players with pace and skill. Sometimes his final ball is poor but what is important is that he gets into those threatening positions. He certainly still has more making up to do with the Albion fans, but performances like these will quicken the process no end.
The second positive would be the form of Ben Foster. It was announced on Thursday that Foster would be coming out of international retirement to re-join the England set-up. With Hodgson watching, Foster put in another sterling performance that may well have pressed his claims to be number one for the national side.
He made a series of wonderful saves, most of them from Oscar. His first save was arguably his best, parrying away a close-range effort from the Brazilian. Aside from one poor kick, another hugely impressive aspect of Foster's game is his distribution. He even attempted a bicycle-kick in a frantic end to the match... that was less impressive.
Finally, a mention to Izzy Brown. Although he didn't get on and make history as the youngest player in the Premier League, it must have been fantastic for him to travel with the first team squad and it is also encouraging for Baggies fans. There is nothing better than seeing a young player come through. It is important that Albion keep the youngster from the clutches of the big clubs who are circling, Arsenal having already been linked with a £1 million move for the youngster.

This was our favourite hotel we stayed in during a recent 2 week trip to Italy. It's a beautiful building, great sized rooms, great location (and views!) and although maybe not the cheapest option in Siena, it's really excellent value for money. I would recommend it to anyone going there, and wish I could have stayed longer.

Nice room in refurbished ancient building. PRO: charming setting and building; you can enter from one street on 3rd floor or from another street at ground floor (reception desk); some rooms have patio access, where you can eat your breakfast (delivered to room); friendly staff. CON: narrow staircase (no lift); breakfast delivered to room. Because the town layout is medieval and hilly, you should get a taxi from the train station (less than 10€) unless you are good with bus navigation.

Distributed Mechanical Parameters of Loudspeakers, Part 1: Measurements
The utility of loudspeaker driver models is enhanced when a lumped parameter representation is supplemented with the parameters of a surface vibration representation. While the lumped model has a one-dimensional representation of input and output, the surface model considers multiple points on the surface as each contributes to the sound pressures of the receiving point. This article explores how to measure and parameterize the distributed points on the surface of various elements using a measurement grid of about 100 points.

The oldest brother, Harris, 18, suggested he run the next Boston Marathon as a fundraiser, even though he'd never run a marathon. Never run any distance race at all, to be honest.
The middle brother, Justin, 15, said he was too big as a football lineman to run but would cheer loudly at the finish line. The youngest, Michael, 13, created another finish line.
"Let's raise $1 million,'' Michael said.
He's 13. A kid. What did he know? What did any of the Stolzenberg brothers know, really?
"Why not go for $10,000, because you'll be lucky if you get that," the boys' mother, Laura, said.
"No, let's try for $1 million,'' Michael said.
And so their journey began. Or maybe it began five years earlier, when Michael contracted a rare bacterial infection that put him in a coma and deprived oxygen to his limbs. He was 8. All four limbs had to be amputated.
The first impression was what Michael lost. The lasting impression was what remained. What spirit. What heart. He played football. He attended regular school. This past year at Pine Crest in Fort Lauderdale, he played on the middle-school lacrosse team.
So when the Stolzenberg brothers saw how many victims in the Boston Marathon bombing were amputees, they wanted to help in some small way … that's become a big way.
Oprah mentioned them in a commencement speech at Harvard this spring. She then called Michael and asked how much money they had raised.
"About $100,000,'' he said.
"I'll double it,'' she said.
So now $200,000 was raised. And that's where things stood for slow weeks. The brothers asked some teachers at Pine Crest what they should do. From that, the school offered to help host Mikey's Run on July 27 to raise money for the cause.
There will be a five-mile run at 7:30 a.m., followed by one-mile and half-mile runs. But the runs aren't so much the story. The community that's risen up around the brothers' dream is.
It wasn't just Oprah. The Florida Panthers signed on as a sponsor. Several local businesses did. The winners will be interviewed by ESPN, which will do a segment of its "E:60" show on the brothers' cause.
Harris, who will attend M.I.T. in Boston next month as a freshman, posted on the school Facebook page if anyone could help set up a website. Another incoming freshman, Corey Walsh from California, helped set up Mikey'sRun.com.
"It's gotten crazy in a great way,'' Harris said.
A few weeks ago, the brothers went to Orlando, where Michael attended an amputees' conference. A couple of Boston Marathon victims who had lost limbs were there, too.
They all went to dinner. Michael explained what happened to him. He said life goes on just fine. He showed them pictures of him playing lacrosse.

Let's just say that the Obama administration is looking at the situation in Ukraine as kind of make up sex with Russia for the spats that they've had in the Middle East.
It would be shame if the wonder drugs we rely on to help the elderly, the sick and our children stopped working wonders because a parochial and partisan prejudice against profits by liberals was allowed to outweigh the greater good.
If it wasn't for expensive mismanagement, the Obama administration—and Democrats in Chicago-- would have no management at all.
The Obama administration has made a specialty out of cronyism, graft and corruption along the blueprints of Chicago. But the real danger to our Republic is not from Obama following the Chicago Way, it's if he follows the Illinois "combine."
Apparently the performing puppets that they have at City Hall, at police headquarters and crawling all over Streets and Sanitation haven't done enough yet to ruin Chicago's reputation. So now the city has to bring in outsiders. Pretend outsiders, that is.
I hereby reserve the right of my country to kick the crap out of petty little tyrants like Vladimir Putin regardless of the state of America's ignorance about other countries. I'm glad Americans are often ignorant about other countries. Other countries suck.
If we were talking about a repressed Islamic minority in say Tunisia, or say Libya, or say Syria, Obama would be doing back flips to try to get them arms.
If you're a Washington politician or bureaucrat I'd be all for you retiring now, regardless of age. If firing Sebelius improved Obamacare, I have a whole bunch of additional suggestions on improving the government.
There's a damning number regarding our economy that Obama doesn't want to talk about. It's a number, but for him, would be lower. And, lower, in this case would be a good thing for the economy.
Rebellion typically starts after a period of lassitude and hopelessness in the face of overwhelming power. Populations spend years, even decades muttering under their breath about abuses of power, but feel ineffectual to enact real reform.
While Obama continues to take his weekends in the country, in a paraphrase of Winston Churchill, Putin takes his countries on the weekends.
In the Transparent Age American's are quickly finding out that Mark's Twain's adage that Congress is the only distinct criminal class in this country is as true now as it was in Samuel Clemens' Gilded Age.
Don't come at me with your faux OWS outrage about greedy bankers. Your guys- the Soroses, the Buffetts, the Franks, the Corzines, the UAW's Kings- are the problem with Wall Street not the solution.
That liberals decided of their own accord that they would crown April Fools' Day--forever after-- as Obamacare Day, is again another irony that seems to be lost on people who believe that a variety selection of chilled cheeses is much more important than having a variety selection of competent doctors.
This is a country noticeably lacking in dangerous men right now. And women. And blacks. And Hispanics. And the unemployed. And that lack of danger is a danger in itself.
Fortunately, Democrats have got the great constitutional lawgiver, the greatest president in the history of the Milky Way and former Accidental College two-time student of the week winner to help us overturn 238 years of history and common sense.
It always pains me when I have to point out to good, faithful conservatives that they didn't invent the Constitution even if some of them just discovered it six years ago.
If it weren't for the "selfie" Obama would have no presidency at all.
My suspicions are always heightened when someone from a benighted and enlightened Entitlement class suddenly discovers the "workingman."
Yes… I attend all Illuminati meetings when they are held in my district. We meet in a private room in Applebees, with Ricky Bobby, Oliver Stone and occasionally the disembodied voice of JFK chairing the event.

HoopsHype Draft
by HoopsHype - Updated: March 27, 2014 - Draft Rumors
Parker may lack the long-term potential of a Joel Embiid or the freakish athleticism of an Andrew Wiggins, but his offensive polish and maturity makes him a highly-regarded prospect. He's both polished and versatile and understands what it means to be a professional having grown up around the game with his father a former standout, Sonny Parker. He remains incredibly humble as well as focused and hard working. Parker is a much better athlete than he appears at first glance. He's also sure to blow away the competition during team interviews, as he's incredibly mature and well spoken. Parker may lack Wiggins' freakish athleticism, and Embiid's upside, but he possesses sneaky athleticism and the most NBA ready, polished all-around game at this point. Parker lacks great foot speed and some scouts are worried about his ability to defend on the perimeter. Without question the safest of the Top 3 draft options, Parker has the potential to be a Top 5 player in the league. Despite the Dukie's flaming out in the first round of the tourney, he still has an excellent chance to go first. He reminds scouts of Carmelo Anthony (without the drama) or a shorter, stockier Kevin Durant.
Early in the year the thought was that Embiid could be drafted in the Top 5 based on potential. He was expected to show flashes and put up numbers sporadically. But he progressed much faster than anyone expected. He showed excellent consistency, a strong motor and made a considerable impact. It's extremely rare to find a kid with his package of attributes. He's got a tremendous basketball body with not only great athleticism but the ability to add size and strength to his frame. The fact that he's shown an ornery side and has been willing to mix it up is only seen as a positive by scouts. He already shows signs of being an enforcer defensively with his length, explosiveness and timing on blocks. He must learn discipline on fakes and how to stay out of foul trouble and he will be a force. Embiid is a raw talent who has come a long way in a very short time. Scouts who saw this kid two years ago African Basketball without Borders event marvel at just how much he's improved in such a short time. He shows terrific form and touch on his shot, plus amazing footwork, giving his potential as an offensive center great intrigue. There is a growing feeling among scouts that he could turn into the NBA's top center during his prime. With questions surrounding his late-season back problems (he also had some issues as a senior in high school), the door has been left open for a player like Bari or Wiggins to become the top pick. However scouts remain extremely high on Embiid, who could re-emerge as the favorite to go first.
Wiggins is as physically talented as any wing player to come along since LeBron James. He has so much raw potential and talent that he still has only begun to scratch the surface in terms of skill development and realizing his abilities. After stuggling in the first half of the season, Wiggins answered his critics with a strong finish. He really emerged in the season's final month putting up a 41 and 30 in back-to-back games, though he struggled with just 4 points in Kansas' season-ending loss to Stanford. With Embiid missing a number of games due to injury, Wiggins capitalized with increased productivity taking KU on his back to stay competitive in games. He has solidified a spot in the Top 3 and put himself back into the conversation to go first. While his upside is considered greater than Parker's, he's also considered the riskier pick.
Smart is a "different kind of dude", as one scout put it, speaking about his maturity and decision to stay in school and bypass the draft in which he would have likely been a Top 2-3 selection in 2013. Smart first began playing the PG position full-time while at Oklahoma State, so detractors must keep in mind that the holes to his game are still developing. His jump shot remains a work in progress. He also may always struggle to stay in front of elite point guards, but then again everyone does. Smart displayed his improved shooting and scoring ability with his 39-point outburst against Memphis. He had some bumps in the road including the incident shoving the Texas Tech fan, but his character is not in question, according to scouts. He's a natural leader and the kind of player that makes everyone else better. He always seems to be a step ahead of the competition with a feel for the game that is very advanced for his age. Comparing Smart to past NBA guys is very difficult, as he's such a unique player.
A case could be made that Kyle Anderson is the most valuable player to any college team in the country. His ability to set up teammates and handle the ball at 6-foot-9 is extremely rare. He's drawn comparisons to Magic Johnson from scouts and some feel that he's a legitimate Top 5 pick candidate. He led UCLA to win the Pac 12 tournament over Arizona and their great fan support in Las Vegas. A deep run in the NCAA tournament could really open some eyes to his abilities. Slow Mo has shown excellent improvement between his freshman and sophomore seasons cutting down on his turnovers and improving upon his assists-per-turnover ratio. He looks much more comfortable creating offense for himself and others and his once inconsistent jump shot has become much more reliable. He's even hitting three-pointers at an excellent clip, though on a low volume. While there is still concern about his lack of speed and quickness, his skill level and length makes him a very intriguing prospect. Becoming a lottery selection now looks well within his grasp.
Vonleh has had a surprisingly quick transition to the college level. He's a forward who has spent a lot of time working on his handle but seems to have realized that his bread and butter at the NBA level lies in the paint. He lacks much in the way of post moves and is just a raw physical specimen at this point. He shows some solid instincts around the basket and has learned how to use his size and length to his advantage. His rebounding has turned into a real weapon. He's a bright, coachable kid who works hard and showed steady improvement as the season progressed. While Vonleh lacks the offensive polish and explosiveness of Julius Randle, an interesting debate has developed between the two players with scouts. Vonleh is well liked due to his length, upside and desire to improve.
Randle is a rare talent in that he combines raw power with a high skill level. Randle is Kentucky's top prospect in a year in which many pundits considered to be Coach Calipari's greatest recruiting haul. He's proven to be virtually unguardable for any single college player. His combination of power and skill set him apart and make him a big-time post prospect for the NBA level. His on-court mannerisms have caused some to question his focus, however he's received positive reviews from scouts about his willingness to be coached and learn. In high school, he got a little too enamored with facing the basket and his post game needed some polish, but he has been virtually unstoppable around the basket at UK. While no longer a lock to be a Top 5 pick, Randle, an absolute physical specimen, remains one of this draft's most intriguing prospects to scouts.
Harris is a sophomore who plays with unusual maturity and poise. Though a tad undersized at 6-foot-4, Harris has solid length, athleticism and great quickness. He also shows a textbook shooting form and range from deep. The cerebral guard flirted with the idea of turning pro as a freshman in such a weak class, however his shoulder troubles would have likely dropped him further than where he would have liked. Though he hasn't been 100 percent healthy all season, which could concern some teams, he has been healthy at the end of the year. His ability to potentially be a combo guard gives him added intrigue. Harris figures to get looks in the mid to late lottery.
In today's NBA, having one standout skill can be better than being just good in many areas. McDermott is an elite level shooter with a tremendous feel for the game. Scouts have pegged his range as a likely 12-18 mid-first rounder going into the season. A player that can spread the floor as well as pass and compete at a high level will fit right into many teams. McDermott may never be a good defender due to lack of foot speed and athleticism. But his offensive arsenal should be enough to make up for that.
Warren is a talented wing with a nose for scoring. He has spring boarded off of a solid freshman campaign to become one of the most prolific scorers in the country, third in the nation at over 24 per game. Though just an average NBA level athlete, Warren shows a knack for taking what the defense gives him and is one of those guys that makes the game look easy. He still needs to extend his range and add a three-point shot to his repertoire, but he shows good form on his shot and should be able to improve that over time. Warren's incredible season taking home ACC POY honors virtually locks up a first-round selection, and he's likely to begin to get looks in the late lottery.
Early benefits from the Shockers undefeated regular season and has impressed scouts all season with his energy level and outside shooting ability. He's without question a tweener for the next level lacking great size to play in the post and skill level to play on the perimeter. But looking at his strengths, he's an above average athlete who plays with good energy and has excellent touch from the perimeter. After a tremendous season and performance in the NCAA tournament, Early has begun to receive late lottery mentions from scouts.
How shocking has LaVine's climb into the lottery been? He wasn't even ranked as a Top 50 high school senior last season. Despite the national hype around Arizona's Aaron Gordon, it's LaVine that is actually the Pac 12's top freshman and prospect. While he has trailed off some of late, LaVine finally garnered a great deal of national exposure. He's got a highly intriguing combination of explosiveness and shooting ability. A second year in Westwood to get stronger and work on his PG skills would be beneficial. But if he continues to play at his current rate it will be difficult to turn down being a potential Top 10 selection after just his freshman season.
Hood is a strong outside shooting as well as an above athlete with a polished all around skill level. He has proven to be a high level prospect in his own right playing alongside Parker. One of Hood's main areas of weakness is lack of physicality and strength, so that will be something that he will need to focus on leading up to draft workouts. Despite impersonating a ghost in the NCAA tourney, Hood stands a chance to grab a spot in the late lottery.
Payton made a name for himself by being a valuable contributor to the Under 19 USA team that won gold in Prague at the World Championships, where he received high praise from all of the coaches. He followed up a tremendous summer by leading the Raging Cajuns into the Big Dance. He is an elite level athlete for a point guard with great length and quickness, and although his shot remains a work in progress, it showed signs of improvement towards the end of the year. Payton has a chance to be a standout starter in the league, which is something that cannot be said about many PGs on the college level. He's still got a long ways to go, but being the age of a sophomore gives him added intrigue. Look for Payton to get looks beginning at the end of the lottery and find a spot in the mid first round. He has even drawn some comparisons to another former Payton (Gary) due to his defensive prowess.
Gordon is an explosive leaper and a great kid. He had a solid freshman season providing energy to a No.1 seed Arizona squad. He will impress teams in interviews and has proven himself as a focused, team-oriented player. He made an excellent impression on scouts last summer winning MVP of the Unde 19 Championships in Prague. He drew Blake Griffin comparisons coming into college, but it has become apparent to most that he lacks the size, power and all-around talent of Griffin. While he might benefit by returning to school, the other side of the coin is that if he doesn't show skill development in future seasons, he could easily slip from his current mid-first round projection. He started out the season determined to turn himself into a small forward, but it is apparent that his future is as a 4. His shooting has proven to be a real weakness, particularly from the line, however his vision and passing have been a pleasant surprise. While some envision a future star at the next level, look for Gordon to ultimately become an excellent defensive oriented, energy role player as a combo forward.
Ennis turned into one of the most consistent and valuable freshmen in the country, leading the Orange to an undefeated record through more than half the season. Although he lacks elite level athleticism, he does a good job of changing speeds and getting by defenders into the paint. He's very good at finding teammates for baskets while on the move. His command of the point guard position and decision-making are truly special for a college freshman, and throw in the fact that he's got good touch and a promising mid-range game, and Ennis will likely be faced with a decision following the season as a likely first-rounder with a chance to be a lottery pick. Syracuse's success in the tournament will likely have some effect on Ennis' draft stock.
Harrell is an intriguing 4 man due to his great power and explosiveness. Despite being a shade below 6-foot-9, he possesses a huge wingspan and plays with a high level of energy. Scouts who watched him play for Team USA at the Under 19 championships raved about him, comparing him to Ben Wallace. With Russdiculous and Chris Jones in the backcourt, Harrell is forced to get most of his baskets off of rebounds, put backs and the occasional alley-oop. But he has found ways to score putting up 14-plus points per game, with many of his baskets coming in aggressive, rim-punishing fashion. He's an energy guy who's most valuable to the team providing dirty work: rebounding and playing physical around the basket.
In terms of readiness, Grant should be looked at similar to the freshmen projected in the later half of the first round. Grant is the son of former NBA forward Harvey Grant, twin brother of Horace Grant. He's a high level athlete with great length and quickness. His offensive game showed solid development in his sophomore season at Syracuse. Jerami shows a lot of potential but whether he has given scouts enough to work with and can overcome the tweener label to be a Top 20 pick is the question. The team was not as effective when he went down to injury, but he bounced back quickly and is one of the draft's top overall athletes.
Payne came in as a highly-decorated recruit and while he had his ups and downs, he stuck around through his senior season and it should prove very beneficial as his game showed significant improvement as an upperclassman. His jump shot has become extremely accurate with excellent form and rotation. His tournament performance has helped him as much as anyone's and he's now firmly in the first round.
While Micic isn't the fleetest of foot, his leadership and ability to run a team makes him extremely intriguing. There are not many players on any level with the vision and passing ability that he possesses. He also seems to have gained some speed and athleticism over the past six months, after coming back from a leg injury, and looking a step slow at the 2013 adidas Eurocamp in Treviso. There are still some concerns with his foot speed and ability to score, but his heart for the game and determination are excellent. For those that enjoy imaginative passing, Micic is a true joy to watch.
Brown is an undersized 2 guard but he has the requisite freakish athleticism to overcome the size disadvantage. His ability to create shots off the dribble are enhanced by his top flight speed and athleticism. He's long been one of the most explosive guards in the country, but he has added a consistent jump shot and improved ball handling and decision making to his skill set. Playing alongside Marcus Smart for two seasons has certainly been beneficial to him. Despite being undersized, Brown is a solid bet to grab a mid to late first round spot in a deep draft.
Young is an athletic lefty two guard with a sweet shot, and plays with good intensity. Though he ran into some bumps during his freshman season and did not shoot as well as scouts would have liked, he remains UK's second best prospect and shows a lot of competitive fire. He has fallen from being a projected lottery pick to no longer being a sure first-rounder, though he still projects as a 20-30 draft pick. He has starting potential for the NBA level, but he'll need to become more aggressive attacking the basket.
Cauley-Stein became a force for Kentucky as a shot blocker in his sophomore season. He runs the floor like a deer and plays with good energy. While his offensive game lacks touch and polish and he may never possess much of a post game, he's able to score using his athleticism with alley-oops and putbacks. Cauley-Stein projects as a mid- to late-first rounder who has a lot of potential due to his excellent athleticism, though his feel for the game still needs work.
Stauskas is one of the nation's premiere shooters and has developed some of the other aspects of his game showing adequate ability to run the pick-and-roll and be a facilitator in spurts. The Big 10 Player of the Year has garnered enough hype from scouts that he's a likely first round pick. He's drawn comparisons to Kyle Korver and JJ Redick and has even some lottery chatter from some. He may always struggle with the speed and athleticism of NBA 2 guards, but he shows the athleticism finish with off drives with dunks. He lacks great foot speed and doesn't show much lateral quickness, but the NBA obviously values pure shooters. There is a wide spectrum of opinions regarding Stauskas with some seeing a late lottery pick and others questioning him as a first rounder. Look for him to split the difference and fall somewhere in the 18-30 range.
Adams lacks a great body and isn't the most athletic wing, but he has elite level scoring ability and could find a spot in the late first round of this year's draft. He is deadly from mid range with both spot up and pull up ability and one of those players that if you give him an ounce of daylight, he's going to find the basket. Adams has done a solid job of improving his body as the season has progressed. He's also a very strong defender, despite not being a tremendous athlete. If UCLA surprises in the tourney as they might, Adams stands to gain as much as anyone as he will surely be in the spotlight as UCLA's go-to scorer.
Capela is a freakish athlete who fits a number of team's idea of the perfect draft and stash type of pick. He probably won't be an NBA contributor for a few seasons, but for a team with patience he's a great athlete who could be a force by the time he is 24-25. He doesn't always play with a high level of intensity, his main drawback, but when he's on he's a handful and he's only 20 years of age. His progression this season has been remarkable, with a number of big scoring and rebounding outbursts, giving him a lot of intrigue as a late first-round pick.
Christon has a tremendous basketball body with the speed and quickness to get to the basket as well as the length to give opposing point guards headaches as an on ball defender. The one major weakness that he must improve upon is his shot which comes off flat and lacks a fluid release. He shot very effectively as a sophomore, but his mechanics leave some question marks about his ability to extend his shot with consistency at the next level. His shooting in workouts will likely be key to his draft stock. Playing at Xavier has made it more difficult for Christon to receive national attention. He appears set to enter the draft where he's projected as a late first to early second round pick by scouts.
Has put it all together in his senior year and become both a team leader and a clutch go-to scorer. Napier received criticism for his lack of leadership and was even described as being selfish early in his college career. He has really evolved with four years of college and is praised for his leadership now in his senior year. Though he's not an explosive athlete, his talent has never been in question as he shows great quickness and belief in his abilities. He was a key reserve as a freshman to UConn's title team and with strong play throughout his senior year leading the Huskies to the Sweet 16, he's now squarely on the first-round bubble.
The Harrison Twins are considered likely to enter the draft and even though they are not highly regarded by many scouts, with such a strong performance in the NCAA tournament, particularly against Wichita State, they have put themselves back into contention to grab a first-round spot. There are concerns about body language and attitude with the twins, but you can't knock the results as UK exceeded expectations in the Big Dance.
Key: (*) Standard salary for players selected with that pick in 2014-15.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Youth Talk Coming to Ohio University Lancaster on Feb. 11
Learn about the causes of sudden cardiac arrest in youth and what you can do to help a child in need.
LANCASTER, Ohio (February 6, 2012) – Each year in the United States 350,000 Americans die suddenly and unexpectedly due to cardiac arrhythmias. Alarmingly, nearly 4,000 of those are under the age of 35. This condition can run in families and can be hidden until it is too late.
Michael J. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.C., Director, Long QT Syndrome/Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic Mayo Clinic
At Fairfield Medical Center, a group of concerned staff members decided to do something to help protect the community against this life-threatening condition. The staff joined forces with some patients, families and other interested community members to form the Snider Community Heart Watch, a task force focused on community education.
The Snider Community Heart Watch will be hosting its first community event, a talk on Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Youth, on Saturday, Feb. 11 at Ohio University Lancaster in conjunction with the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS) Foundation and Boston Scientific. The free talk will run from 9:30 -11 a.m. and is being targeted to parents, caregivers, teachers, coaches, healthcare personnel and any interested community members.
"We felt that something needed to be done to protect our community," said Bob Williams, supervisor of the Catheterization Lab at FMC and Snider Community Heart Watch committee member.
An internationally renowned expert on the subject, Dr. Michael J. Ackerman, is coming from the Mayo Clinic to provide the keynote message. "Knowing the warning signs has a tremendous impact on saving lives," Dr. Ackerman noted. Dr. Ackerman is a pediatric cardiologist and director of the Long QT Syndrome/Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic at the Mayo Clinic. He is also a leader in sudden cardiac arrest research. At the talk he will focus on early detection and the steps that can be taken to help a child in need.
Also speaking at the event will be Dr. Douglas Pope, FMC medical staff president. He will focus on the dangers of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), giving his own account of how this condition affects our community. "My hope is for people to leave the presentation with a sense of responsibility to help those in need and do what it takes to save lives."
Community participants also will have an opportunity to hear Misty Morrison, SCA survivor and Lancaster resident, tell her story along with Clint Birkholz. Birkholz, a Columbus resident, will recount the day his 9-year-old daughter went into sudden cardiac arrest while swimming in a pool.
No registration is required. For more information, call (740) 689-6893 or go to fmchealth.org.

Martha M. Whitt10:33 am | January 25, 2013
03/20/1924 – 11/19/2012
Martha Magdalene Peters (Shankle, Whitt) passed away with her family by her side on November 19, 2012. She was born to Robert Henry Peters and Maggie Lipps Peters on March 20, 1924 in Elizabethton.
Martha worked at the Bemberg Rayon Plant in Elizabethton during World War II, making parachutes for our troops. In 1954, with her husband Frank Shankle and seven children, she moved to John Day, Ore., and then to Baker, Ore., where she lived until 1980. She started doing waitress work for Baker Café as her first job. She worked in many restaurants in the Baker area. She then worked at the lime plant. After marrying Ivan Whitt, they moved to Benton City, Wash., and she worked at Twin City Foods until her retirement.
Martha had many beautiful memories of her family and growing up on Stoney Creek. She spoke often of the rolling hills with the beautiful trees and mountains she loved and missed all of her life.
Preceding her in death were her son, Roger Lee Shankle, Gary Wayne Shankle; her first husband, Frank Chad Shankle; her second husband, Ivan James Whitt; her parents, Robert and Maggie Peters; brothers, Coy, Arthur (China), Wesley, Robert (Soupy) and Raymond Peters; sisters, Bonnie Peters, Lily Crumley, Corine Peters and Callie Peters; her step-son, Vernon Whitt; grandchildren, Rodney Shankle (son of Jerry Shankle), Martha Michelle Shankle (daughter of Gary Wayne Shankle) and Katrina Blair (daughter of Theresa Shankle).
Martha is survived by her sister, Bertha Nell Sullins (Joe), Nashville, Tenn.; children, Jerry Shankle (Andy), Fort Mohave, Ariz., Brenda Rohner, Theresa Shankle, Benton City, Wash., Phil Shankle (Marilyn), Pyallup, Wash., Faye Shankle, Hermiston, Ore., Norman Shankle, Benton City, Wash., Kathy Baker, West Richland, Wash.; step-children, Cecile, Karen and Steve Whitt; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
We will miss her dearly.
