When I used to play Madden, my favorite thing to do in the game was to play Franchise Mode with the Fantasy Draft turned on. So, I thought it would be fun (for me, anyway) to start all 32 teams over and throw all the players into a pool and draft them in the order that I thought they should go. The question here isn't merely "Who is the best QB? or RB?" It is: "Which player can be the cornerstone of a dynasty?"
Here is what I think the first round of a modern Fantasy Draft would look like. I'm going to insert teams, but in a different order than you would normally see them: I'm going to invert the order from this year's rookie draft (assuming every team had one pick: their originally assigned one). The current "best" team would come first, and they supposedly earned that right by beating out everyone else. The reason that I'm choosing to include teams at all is because the FO and coaching staff have a huge impact on what kind of player a team would take.
Pick 1. Ravens take Aaron Rodgers. Sure, they are happy with Flacco now, but, if they had a chance to start over, do you really think that they would pass on taking a QB as dynamic as Rodgers?
Pick 2: 49ers take Andrew Luck. A chance to reunite Harbaugh with what is perhaps going to be the QB of the decade. Kaep looks great, but do you think they would pass on taking Luck for him?
Pick 3: Falcons take Tom Brady.
Pick 4: Patriots take Drew Brees.
Pick 5: Broncos take Tim Tebow. Just kidding. Peyton Manning it is.
Pick 6: Texans take Eli Manning.
Pick 7: Packers take Colin Kaepernick. Here is where it gets tricky. Do you take potential upside in a QB or a sure thing like Peterson or Willis? Kaep has vocalized that he would have liked to play for the Packers (if not the 49ers); and he torched them last postseason. I think they would pull the trigger and take a gamble on having one of the best QBs of the generation.
Pick 8: Seattle takes Adrian Peterson. All of the best QBs are gone, and AP is clearly better than everyone left on the board (although you could make the argument that AP is better than EVERYBODY on the board).
Pick 9: Colts take Matt Ryan. To me, he is a step above Flacco (although you can't fault Flacco's production). Given the right team, I think Ryan goes all the way with no problem.
Pick 10: Vikings take Patrick Willis. With the retirement of Urlacher and Ray Lewis, the NFL is entering the Willis era. He is arguably the best defensive player in the league. Can't fault them for taking him here.
Pick 11: Redskins take Robert Griffin III. I think there are better individual players left, but I don't think Washington would WANT anyone else.
Pick 12: Bengals take Joe Flacco.
Pick 13: Bears take Ben Roethlisberger. They could go a lot of different directions here, including just sticking with Jay Cutler, but I think Big Ben's playoff/SB experience would win out in the end.
Pick 14: Giants take JJ Watt. They have predicated their modern success on solid QB play and great play in the trenches on both sides of the ball. They hope to pick up a solid QB in round 2 and pick up arguably the best pass rusher in the league here.
Pick 15: Cowboys take... Tony Romo. There are a lot of better players left, but my reasoning is this: They spent over $100 million on the guy this year; would they really pass up the chance to keep him? I'm not a Romo fan (though I'm not a hater either); but I think Jerry Jones is just that stubborn.
Pick 16: Steelers take Von Miller. He just seems to me to be what they are looking for as an organization.
Pick 17: Rams take Joe Thomas. They have to keep their QB (whoever it is) off of his back.
Pick 18: Saints take Calvin Johnson. The Saints appear to me to have a FO that is focused on the offensive side of the ball. As someone said earlier today, Johnson can make average QBs look great.
Pick 19: Panthers take Clay Matthews.
Pick 20: Buccaneers take Jay Cutler. Cutler might not be dynamite, but he is consistent. (I'll probably catch a lot of flack just for saying that).
Pick 21: Dolphins take Arian Foster. After years of dysfunctional management and missing the playoffs, the Dolphins the next best thing to AP here.
Pick 22: Chargers take Jason Peters. They are thinking they can get Rivers at a cheaper spot in the next round and want to protect him better than they have been.
Pick 23: Titans take Larry Fitzgerald. They finally get the playmaking receiver they've been trying to find for the last million years.
Pick 24: Jets take Navorro Bowman. The Jets have holes and problems everywhere, including (and especially) in their FO. They need someone who can provide the team with identity and consistency. Bowman, in my opinion, is going to be one of the great ones.
Pick 25: Bills take Phillip Rivers. Hopefully he solves their huge QB problem.
Pick 26: Cardinals take Bobby Wagner. Not only do I get him off of the Seahawks (so I can stop hearing about him all of the time), but I also give him to one of their division rivals.
Pick 27: Browns take Jamaal Charles.
Pick 28: Lions take Justin Smith. They seriously need an attitude adjustment on their D-Line if they ever hope to win.
Pick 29: Eagles take Aldon Smith.
Pick 30: Raiders take Richard Sherman. He just seems like he would fit there.
Pick 31: Jaguars take Michael Vick. Seriously, if the Eagles had cut Vick, I think he would have gone to Jacksonville. I think he's the best QB left on the board, although you could push for Tannehill or Freeman if you like.
Pick 32: Chiefs take Brian Cushing.
Some might be upset that Revis didn't go in the first round. I left him off because I can't see a team betting their future on a non-QB coming off of a serious surgery, without proof that he will still be good. I'm sure he will be good, but will he be franchise-player good? Also, no NTs taken (unless you count Justin Smith). To me, there is a tendency towards speed now in the NFL, and not many NTs have that. I looked at a list of who was available in the league, and whil Kevin Williams, Geno Atkins, Gerald McCoy, etc. were available, I again don't see any team making them their franchise players.
All of this is just a matter of opinion anyway, because it would never happen. But it sure is fun to think about!

LAWTON, Okla_By now you're sure to have heard the disgruntled rumblings of some people in Oklahoma, and nationwide over the outcome of the presidential election. But some are going a step farther than just complaining. Over 40 states have formed petitions to secede from the nation, and Oklahoma is one of them. A petition must receive 25,000 signatures to have it go in front of the US Government, and while only Texas, Louisiana and now Florida have reached that milestone, many others are not far behind.
7 News spoke with a variety of people today to get to the bottom of why people are responding like this, and what, if anything, it means for us.
An important fact to keep in mind is, 25,000 people or signatures is just a minute fraction of the population. Even if a petition were to get 100,000 signatures there are over 300 million of us in the United States. Professor Lance Janda of Cameron University says it's important to acknowledge people are unhappy, but these cries of outrage will most likely soon fade.
Dr. Lance Janda has been a professor of government and history at Cameron for 13 years, and he says what we're seeing now is nothing new.
"People are frustrated every single time we have a presidential election, and some how the republic manages to survive. And we go on. And we will this time, too, " said Janda.
He's not saying we should count out those who feel cast out or jilted by the outcome of the election, but he is saying that secession is not the way of addressing those concerns.
"People don't think through this stuff. They're just angry and they want change, " Janda said.
We were curious to see how the people of Lawton felt, so we took to Facebook and the streets to let you sound off.
From our Facebook Page, viewer Tyler Savage said, "I think Oklahoma needs to secede with Texas. We would have everything we need!"
While others had a different opinion...
"I can't think of anything stupider in my life, " said resident, Jeff Froude.
And resident, Vanessa Sargent echoed his sentiments, "I think it's a terrible idea. We don't have any real economic sources we can stand on alone.
It is Dr. Janda's hope that the country comes together. He says the government coming up with a plan to ease the deficit and seeing both parties more willing to work together would be key factors in doing so, but ultimately those who are unsatisfied now will find themselves on the other side of the coin one way or another.
Janda explains, "You live long enough, sooner or later somebody you can't stand gets elected. And that's when you find out whether you really believe in democracy or not. It's easy to believe in it if everybody that gets elected is someone you like, but when the system does something you don't like, that's when your faith gets tested."
Janda says that if you are one of those who is unsatisfied with the state of things, the most effective thing you can do is embrace the system, run for office and work to change things as an elected official.
We put in a call to Governor Mary Fallin about the matter. In a statement from her office she said, "Oklahoma is not going to secede from the union."

It starts with a gift, when Ben Ryder Howe's wife, the daughter of Korean immigrants, decides to repay her parents' self-sacrifice by buying them a store. Howe, an editor at the rarefied Paris Review, agrees to go along. Things soon become a lot more complicated. After the business struggles, Howe finds himself living in the basement of his in-laws' Staten Island home, commuting to the Paris Review offices in George Plimpton's Upper East Side townhouse by day, and heading to Brooklyn at night to slice cold cuts and peddle lottery tickets. My Korean Deli follows the store's tumultuous life span, and along the way paints the portrait of an extremely unlikely partnership between characters with shoots across society, from the Brooklyn streets to Seoul to Puritan New England. Owning the deli becomes a transformative experience for everyone involved as they struggle to salvage the original gift—and the family—while sorting out issues of values, work, and identity.
"My Korean Deli serves a love story for our times."—USA Today
"It's hard not to fall in love with My Korean Deli . . . [It] tells a rollicking, made-for-the-movies story in a wonderfully funny deadpan style. By the end, you'll feel that you know the author and his family quite well—even though you may not be eager to move in with them."—The New York Times Book Review
"As he leapfrogs from Staten Island to Brooklyn to the Review . . . Howe gains new understanding of life on both sides of the register--the deli is revealed to be a fickle friend, perpetually seesawing between financial promise and ruin, but also magical, a place touched with an unlikely intimacy that holds together the seams of a neighborhood."—The New Yorker
"Howe ably transforms what could have been a string of amusing vignettes about deli ownership into a humorous but heartfelt look into the complexities of family dynamics and the search for identity."—Publishers Weekly
Steam Table
Fall 2002
Last summer my wife's family and I decided to buy a deli. By fall, with loans from three different relatives, two new credit cards, and a sad kiss good-bye to thirty thousand dollars my wife and I had saved while living in my mother-in-law's Staten Island basement, we had rounded up the money. Now it is November, and we are searching New York City for a place to buy.
We have different ideas about what our store should look like. My mother-in-law, Kay, the Mike Tyson of Korean grandmothers, wants a deli with a steam table, one of those stainless steel,

One Way to Cut Executive Pay
posted by Larry Littlefield
Tue, 01/21/2014 - 10:00am
According to MSNBC "GM has revealed that its new CEO Mary Barra stands to earn as much as $4.4 million in her first year on the job. That's if she collects on the full $2.8 million that's set aside as part of a short-term incentive plan. (She also could collect a potential $1 million in a new stock offering.) But Barra's base salary is $1.6 million — a full $100,000 less than outgoing CEO Dan Akerson earned in 2012."
If shifting to female leadership reduces executive pay and frees up money for dividends to shareholders, I say go for it. The pace of decrease ought to be greater than $100,000 per change at the top, however, and not just apply to the CEO. If there is some equally capable person willing to do your job for less money, you are overpaid. Such as been the attitude for everyone but those at the top for 30 years. But it works both ways. And as for the rest of us getting a better deal, whatever works.

WORCESTER — At first glance, Jill Slosburg-Ackerman's new installation at the Worcester Art Museum looks humble and cluttered. Small framed drawings, photos, and more fill a vast wall. A pine cone sits on a table; a tree burl partly bitten into by the artist's blade sheds chips and sawdust. There's an empty stretch of carpet, a cushioned bench. The artist has taken a saw to a cheap end table or two. But is this an art installation – or the dregs of a yard sale?
"Jill Slosburg-Ackerman — In Rome: The Pine Grove. And. Natura naturans; natura naturata" clears unexpected pathways among these objects, and along the way uncorks the frothy ferment of imagination's process for the viewer to take in. The last, Latin part of the title refers to the writing of 17th-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza, and distinguishes between nature as its own agent and as a passive part of some larger agenda. "In Rome" posits that nature and art are all part of the same creative force.

Campbell-based Coulomb Technologies is helping electric vehicle drivers find charging stations more efficiently and spreading the use of electric vehicles worldwide.
The company launched a new smartphone app on Friday that will assist drivers in finding charging stations and show them what stations are vacant.
According to Coulomb Technologies officials, the infrastructure provides power to more than 20,000 charging sessions a month.
Drivers charge their vehicles for an average of eight hours a session, so knowing which stations are occupied could be extremely valuable to electric vehicle owners.
The ChargePoint Network, started by Coulomb in 2009, provides electric charging stations in 14 countries.
"Knowing the location of an EV charging station is good, and a few EV charging maps exist today, but knowing whether it's available to charge your EV is excellent," said Los Gatos resident Mike Calise, co-founder of EVadvise and new director of EV Business at energy-management behemoth, Schneider Electric.
"EV smartphone applications are becoming pervasive, and they're really simple to use."
He said municipalities that offer EV charging stations stand to benefit as drivers from the Peninsula or Santa Cruz can now extend their trip by charging their car while spending time shopping or dining in town. "This is great for local businesses and promotes cleaner air, quieter streets and reduction in foreign oil," he added.
Los Gatos appears closer to gettingafter town officials asked public works staff to bid out three such access points in downtown parking lots.
The town is looking at different vendors and manufacturers, including , which has received funding from a federal Department of Energy grant to help municipalities provide the stations to the public.
Coulomb is looking like the best option for the town, as it would pay for the stations and the town would pay for the installation.
The locations being considered are owned by the town and include the following:
- South parking lot across the street from the
- Parking lot 5, between Elm and Main streets
- Parking lot 3, between Royce Street and Grays Lane

MADISON (WKOW) -- The University of Wisconsin-Madison is among a growing number of universities offering free online courses through their websites.
The school is among 29 new institutions partnering with Coursera, of Mountain View, California in offering "massive open online courses," or MOOCs. The courses have attracted millions of students and have allowed people from all walks of life to learn from leading scholars free of charge. The courses don't offer college credit.
Five University of Minnesota professors have signed on to create the courses, including "Sustainability of Food Systems." Coursera already has agreements with 33 other institutions, including Johns Hopkins and Stanford.
UW-Madison vice provost Jeff Russell says the university would rather be in the game than on the sidelines watching.

Though highly partisan, this grim account of the Yessaian's odyssey from a once-peaceful village in central Turkey to an industrial city in the American Mid-west has the ring of bitter truth, balanced by moments of joy, humor, and reconciliation. The book as a whole commands attention through its ominous and stunning immediacy.
Leo Hamalian
City College of New York
* * *
Out of Turkey is must reading for every Armenian, and indeed for every American who should know more about the Armenian genocide. It's more than a book of recollections about the life of Donik Yessaian and the people of Efkereh, an Armenian village decimated by the Ottoman Turks.
As I read each page, I felt the pain and suffering the Yessaian clan had been forced to endure more than 75 years ago. It has a chilling effect that refuses to fade away because present-day Turkey still denies the first genocide of the 20th century.
Some might suggest Harry Yessaian's chilling memoir is just another book for the bookcase. I beg to differ. The family memoirs of the Yessaians of those dark days that befell Efkereh and the burning of Smyrna, could also have been a story about the massacred Tarpinians of Erzeroum, the Sarkisians of Moush, the Manoogians of Sepastia, or the Bedrosians of Van. Out of Turkey is about the depopulation of historical Armenia, and the will of the Yessaian clan to survive and preserve a heritage antedating the birth of Christ.
Should present-day Turkey be held responsible for the crimes of its predecessors? Read Out of Turkey and judge for yourself.
Mitchell Kehetian
The Macomb Daily
* * *
Harry Yessaian's story of his family during the Armenian genocide is analogous to the story of almost every Armenian who went through a similar ordeal but somehow miraculously survived. Harry put his family's suffering on record as testimony, while most of the others who suffered similar fates have been consigned to oblivion. This story is important not only for the Yessaian and Kouradjian families, but for history as well.

CATEGORIES Trailers and Clips, MoviesThis Christmas will see a giant musical showdown in the form of Sony's "Annie" facing off against Disney's "Into the Woods," two lavish Broadway adaptations with major star power and a contemporary slant. (We imagine it will be like something from "West Side Story," except even less threatening.) While we haven't seen anything from "Into the Woods," save for a photo of Meryl Streep looking really witchy, "Annie" has already unleashed two trailers, the latest of which (below, courtesy of Yahoo), shows much more of the starry cast and the movie's updated storyline.
While the original "Annie" was set during the Great Depression, this version is completely modernized. Jamie Foxx plays the Daddy Warbucks stand-in, a mayoral candidate who looks to soften his image by aligning himself with the cuddly, titular orphan (Quvenzhane Wallis from "Beasts of the Southern Wild"). Cameron Diaz plays the new Miss Hannigan (and gets one of the bigger laughs of the trailer), who runs the orphanage where Annie lives, and Rose Byrne plays Foxx's personal assistant. (Bobby Cannavale plays Foxx's political advisor.)
You get more of a sense of the overall spirit of this new "Annie," which seems to keep much of the tone of the original 1977 Broadway musical (and subsequent 1982 film) while updating it for modern audiences. Keep in mind that one of the biggest question marks of the movie nobody has heard yet: the new Jay-Z songs written specifically for the movie (he's also a producer). Hopefully it'll be better than his work for Ridley Scott's "American Gangster."
Well, no matter how this "Annie" turns out, it can't be worse than "Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge," a stage play that opened in the late eighties and died a horrible, horrible death.
"Annie" opens on December 19th and will directly enter the musical thunderdome: two musicals enter, only one leaves.

Any time you're dealing with war and combat, having the best technology available is crucial. And this week, several thousand people are in Augusta here to show theirs off during the TechNet Conference.
About 1,500 key players are in town, all involved in helping to enhance technology that's used on the battlefield. At the 3 day conference, speakers will be addressing a broad range of topics and focus on the importance of the network, cyber security issues, and training. The goal is to help the U.S. Armed Forces to modernize and be ready to meet the challenges of war that may lie ahead.
"The importance of holding this conference here in Augusta is that Fort Gordon is the home of the United States Signal Center," said Brig. Gen. Eric Gladman (Ret.). "We've got the NSA here, we've got industry leaders here. Augusta is the second largest city with IT, ranked last year, so it's very important for us here. This is the state-of-the-art right here, and we have industry here, we have academia here, we have the government here, so this you know AFCEA provides the bridge to do this for us."
The event runs through Thursday, which means over the next 3 days the Garden City's economy will be receiving a nice boost, estimates range around $750,000.

Researchers at Texas Tech say just because a pre-schooler watches a lot of TV doesn't mean they're going to have attention problems later in school. That's after studying about 5,000 kids in kindergarten and first grade over a 2 year period. The Texas Tech findings in the March issue of Pediatrics conflict with a similar study in the same journal a year ago.
The Texas Tech study says if there is an association, it may be that the exhausted parents of already overly active children are more likely to let them watch TV to give themselves a break, and not that TV itself leads to attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
The study was conducted to determine if TV viewing habits during the kindergarten year resulted in ADHD in first grade. According to the study the results of the present study do not indicate the presence of an important relationship between television exposure and subsequent attention problems.

The close relationship between the Enterprise-Rent-A-Car Foundation and the National Urban League, a movement, established in 1910, that tries to improve the situation of those who live in poorer inner city areas across the US, looks set to continue as the car hire giant donates $3 million to the League's Whitney M. Young Jr. Centre for Urban Leadership.
As well as the donation, Enterprise Holdings is planning to celebrate the National Urban League's centenary by encouraging employees to get involved in the League's campaign to encourage new donors and new members to sign up. Enterprise will also join the League and other organisations to celebrate its Founder's Day.
By announcing its $3 million grant at a conference in Washington, D.C., celebrating the National Urban Leagues 100th birthday, the Enterprise Foundation will be helping to provide training and development for the organisation's present and future leaders.
The National Urban League's president and chief executive, Mark H. Morial, said that the League was always proud to have Enterprise as a partner. The firm has always played a vital role in the League's ability to develop the country's future leaders in business, he added.
Chairman and chief executive of Enterprise Holdings, Andy Taylor, said the National Urban League did an outstanding job bridging the gap between businesses and the community. He added that the League knew how important it was for both to work together in order to bring about positive change. Enterprise is extremely pleased to carry on its commitment to the National Urban League and its ability to change people's lives, Taylor went on to say.

Spend the new transportation dollars wisely
To the Editor:
Regardless of how one feels about the recent transportation law, all agree it will pour over $1 billion of year into Virginia's aging transportation infrastructure and should build necessary capacity to meet our growing infrastructure needs.
Gov. Bob McDonnell did all elected officials, and the two candidates for governor this year, a huge favor by moving the transportation discussion from "where are we going to get the money?" to a more management focused question of "how are we going to spend the money?"
And this is an incredibly important change in focus. Taxpayers and those who vote will be carefully looking to see if these new monies are well-spent.
If these new funds aren't spent in a way that relieves congestion and helps grow our economy then a massive failure of leadership will be the result. A good example of "wise spending" is in Northern Virginia: the years of delay and the complaints aimed at the recently opened High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes have disappeared as the traffic congestion in the mornings and evenings on Virginia's Capital Beltway has dramatically improved. And the rapid pace of building additional HOT lanes south from Springfield into Prince William County on I-95 shows that transportation construction can proceed quickly with well crafted public private partnerships.
The new transportation dollars need to focus on congestion relief and economic development. As traffic moves more quickly, the positive corollary impact is that pollution will be significantly reduced. It will be the job of our next governor and his secretary of transportation to be sure that state monies are not wasted on unnecessary projects such as bike paths where there are few if any bike riders, garden patches that clearly don't relieve congestion, and $1 million bus stops as has been the case in at least one jurisdiction.
This is the time for policy makers to review the important study released by the Reason Foundation in August 2006 that looked at the needs nationwide over the next 25 years to relieve congestion, both current and projected based on where people will be living. That study showed where Virginia's long term needs could be significantly helped by building a transportation spine through and to the congested areas of the state (Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and the I-95 corridor toward Richmond) and the areas where population growth is expected to be the greatest such as Charlottesville. This study showed that about $14 billion was needed in 2006 dollars to build this needed spine. This $14 billion can be easily met between federal and state spending now that the transportation funding issue in Virginia is behind us. This study should be updated and seriously considered as a long-term transportation plan that will proceed.
Let's look at other reasonable ways to spend these new found dollars:
1) Require new construction and maintenance funds to be made through public private partnerships as the first option if the finances work. Private companies can usually spend dollars more wisely than can government. Right to Work policies should be maintained. When this concept was instituted for the expansion of Metro in Northern Virginia, the bid for the second half of this project came in over $100 million less than projected. And when concrete was finally allowed to compete with asphalt on road bids in Virginia the price of the first project came down by tens of millions of dollars.
2) Funds should be spent on relieving "choke points" around the state where traffic builds up because an intersection is out-of-date - let's build left turn lanes and extend current left turn lanes so that traffic doesn't "bleed" into the other lanes of traffic, etc.
3) Let's properly synchronize traffic signals as has been suggested for years and let's review these "timed lights" on a regular basis to be sure they are truly relieving congestion.
4) Let's consider reversible lanes in neighborhoods where traffic is backed up in the morning and the evening in different directions. Why expand a road to four lanes when three lanes (one reversible lane) would solve the congestion problem for less money and without destroying so much land.
There are other good ideas on how to spend the transportation "windfall" in effective and efficient ways. If these new monies aren't spent on projects that relieve congestion, fix the potholes, dissolve the "choke points" then government will prove it is not a good steward of our tax money.

MACON, Ga. - The Mercer men's basketball team has been picked as the favorite to win the Atlantic Sun Conference in a pair of annual preseason polls released by the league office on Thursday. In addition to lofty team prognostications, Langston Hall, Jakob Gollon and Daniel Coursey picked up personal honors.
Hall and Gollon were voted onto the 10-member Preseason All-Atlantic Sun Team, while Coursey was named the league's Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. All three honors were determined by votes from the 10 A-Sun head coaches.
In the coaches' poll, Mercer garnered six first-place votes to total 95 points and edge out USC Upstate (89) as the league's preseason favorite. Florida Gulf Coast collected 75 points, while North Florida (70) and East Tennessee State (54) rounded out the top five teams.
Points are awarded in descending order, with a first-place vote being worth 10 points and a 10th-place vote being worth one point.
"We're excited because others think we have a chance to have a good team," Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman said. "We're excited about the potential and possibilities. It comes with a lot of hard work and determination and as a result of people in our community, our staff and players buying in and working at a high level."
In the media poll, the top three teams mirrored the coaches' poll. Mercer picked up 18 first-place votes and 260 overall points while USC Upstate gathered four media first-place votes and finished with 228 points. FGCU (198) was slotted third while ETSU (180) edged out North Florida (167) for fourth place.
In both the coaches and media poll, the Bears were also picked as favorites to win the Atlantic Sun Tournament. Six of the league's head coaches and 15 media members predicted Mercer as tournament champions.
Hall was named a preseason all-conference player for the first time in his career after picking up a bevy of postseason accolades last year. At season's end, he was an A-Sun All-Conference first team member, a National Association of Basketball Coaches' (NABC) All-District player and the MVP of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
Gollon was recognized by the league's coaches after starting all 38 of Mercer's games last season and finishing the year ranked among A-Sun leaders in scoring average (24th - 10.5), rebounding average (8th - 5.9), assists per game (10th - 3.3), steals per game (7th - 1.6), assist-to-turnover ratio (11th - 1.1) and average minutes played (9th - 31.8).
"Their intangibles are unbelievable," Hoffman said. "Both of them are good players but neither of them would want any accolades. They want our team to be successful, that's paramount in their mind. That's not something they just talk about, it's how the play the game."
In 2011-12, Coursey finished as the league leader in blocks, setting a program record with 88 rejections. His average of 2.32 blocks per game ranked 31st in the nation and helped the team finish 12th among Division I programs in field-goal percentage defense (38.6%).
"If you go back and look at the statistics, you can see why we were able to win games like we were able to because we guarded," Hoffman said. "Daniel was the focal point of that defense. He makes a huge difference in the middle and he can erase some mistakes we have on defense from time to time. He makes us even harder to score against and we hope that it happens again this season, because that will put us in a great place to be vying for a championship."
Mercer's quest for an Atlantic Sun title begins on November 10 when the Bears play host to Sewanee in the season opener.

Trust is needed
10:59am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in Letters By Reader's letter
I WATCHED the two women candidates (good thing) for the police and crime commissioner's job for North Yorkshire on the Sunday Politics show on the BBC.
Listening carefully to the contribution of each candidate, I was left asking myself the question: "Does Ruth Potter really know what this election is about?"
Here entire contribution was to blame the police and Home Office budget cuts on the Coalition, forgetting to mention the huge mess the last Government left, making the cuts necessary.
She said nothing about how she intended to represent the people of North Yorkshire and what she would do to put their views and preferences to the police and crime agencies if she was elected.
Her breathless, rapid-fire Labour party political slogans left me wondering whether she imagines she is in a party-political contest.
This begs the question as to whether someone so fixated on running her campaign along party tramlines could be relied on to be the impartial conduit between the public, the police and crime agencies this important new position demands?
The new PCC must be able to command the trust of all citizens of North Yorkshire, no matter what their personal political preferences may be.

Older Sometimes Wiser says...
Politics aside (and I am no Tory), I have now obtained the promotional literature from both candidates.There is no doubt that Julia Mullen has done her homework as she provides a more sensible and thoughtful description of her intention to listen to the public, and to use the information gained to make the police force respond to public needs. One of the main problems is under the old system, where Ruth was Council Representative on the Police Authority, was the total absence of any feedback & public involvement.Can anyone remember any public meetings where problems could be discussed? The Ward Meetings where a PCSO or Sergeant attended were parochial in the extreme, with no real sense of understanding or exchange of ideas.
Sadly the Government has caused the politicisation of this election as independent candidates just could not afford the fee or the cost of publicity.
I will probably vote tomorrow but with not much hope of massive changes.

Violent thug left me for dead: Mum Hayley Lowles speaks out after ex-partner Matthew Sargent jailed for Noak Bridge horrific attack
6:00am Tuesday 27th May 2014 in Local News By Carri-Ann Taylor, Reporter
THIS shocking photograph shows the horrific injuries a man caused his girlfriend when he tried to kill her in her own home.
Violent thug Matthew Sargent, 30, battered Hayley Lowles before smashing an oven door over her head and leaving her for dead.
Sargent, who has been classed as a danger to the public by psychologists, grabbed the couple's seven-month-old son before leaving the flat in Osier Drive, Noak Bridge, and buying booze at an off-licence.
He was sentenced to 16-and-ahalf years in prison with a further five years on licence when he appeared at Basildon Crown Court on Friday.
His sister, Emily Sargent, 28, of Ascot Drive, Basildon, was handed a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, for perverting the course of justice after washing her brother's bloodstained clothes and hiding them in her home.
Sargent, of no fixed address, was found guilty of attempted murder during a trial in April.
The callous thug went the home of girlfriend Hayley Lowles on August 22 last year to see their seven-month-old son for what he thought would be the last time because he was about to hand himself in to police for burgling Ms Lowles' next door neighbour's flat.
Ms Lowles asked Sargent to leave because she suspected he was drunk.
The trial heard he "lost it" and attacked Ms Lowles after she allegedly laughed at him when he said he wanted to stop drinking.
Ms Lowles ran from him and tried to lock herself in her kitchen, but Sargent barged in, punched her to the floor and hit the glass oven door against her head.
He then punched her more than ten times.
Ms Lowles suffered 13 injuries, including bleeding on the brain and a fractured skull, cheek and jaw.
She had deep holes in both sides of her head, behind her ears and a swollen face.
Parts of her skull broke and lodged into her brain tissue and she suffered a broken nose, plus slashes to her face, the side of her head and ears.
The couple's baby son was in the next room at the time.
After the beating, Sargent grabbed the tot, fled the flat and went to Costcutters, where he left his son outside while he bought booze.
Brave Ms Lowles onlymanaged to survive the horrific attack after dragging herself from her top floor flat to the street, where she collapsed in a pool of blood.
Passers-by called the emergency services.
Sentencing Sargent, Judge John Lodge said: "I dont accept youwere provoked. There is nothing at all that can be laid at the door of Hayley Lowles.
"This was a lengthy and sustained attack on her.
"You beat her to the ground and struck her so hard with the oven door, the glass shattered.
"She somehow managed to crawl from the flat.
"She presented to those who chanced upon her as the victim of a brutal attack. As one witness put it, 'a piece of butchered meat'.
"The effects of what happened that day will be with her forever.
"I have no hesitation in saying you are a dangerous man."
Danger to the public – Matthew Sargent
Hayley: This was the first attack
HAYLEY Lowles has spoken out in the hope other victims of domestic abuse will seek help.
Miss Lowles, 33, only survived the horrific attack because she managed to crawl out of her flat into the street where passers-by called for help.
Speaking to the Echo after the sentencing, she said she was determined to move on and build a new life for her and her son.
She said: "I'm so grateful to everyone who worked so hard for this result today.
"I'm so relieved and finally feel I can draw a line under the situation.
"I don't remember much of the physical attack. I remember feeling intimidated by his behaviour. He was drunk and aggressive.
"I just remember waking up in the hospital and realising what injuries I'd sustained."
Miss Lowles has undergone numerous operations to repair her skull and has had plastic surgery to her face.
Surgeons have warned the ferocity of Sargent's beating has caused nerve damage, meaning her face could "slip".
However, she is determined to recover and says her son is a big inspiration.
She added: "My son has been a major support, because I'm determined I'll get better for him.
"I'm still under the hospital and consultants and dealing with my injuries.
"I have problems with my jaw and there are other things, like I can't just bend and pick up my son quickly, because I get dizzy.
"It's not just the physical scars, but also the psychological effect.
"Someone will mention something to me and things come back.
"I can't go back to the flat that was my home and where I had my child. I've had to start from scratch."
Miss Lowles, who once ran a successful hairdressing business, said she does not think of herself as a "typical" domestic violence victim. She said: "This was the first violent attack I had from Matt, but it was really severe and I might not have lived to tell the tale.
"He was very controlling psychologically. Even though I owned my own flat and paid all the bills, he made me feel I could not live without him.
"When you're suffering domestic abuse, it's difficult because you love them and you defend them.
"And you lie to your family and friends and tell them you're happy.
"It's hard. The penny dropped for me when I had my son.
"The best advice I can give to anyone suffering abuse is try to remove yourself from the situation and try to think about it as someone looking in."
Crime – the scene of the attack
Officer pays tribute to brave victim
THE senior officer who investigated the horrific attack on Hayley Lowles has paid tribute to her.
Senior Investigating Officer, Det Chief Insp Mark Hall, from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said: "Sargent has shown himself to be a violent and manipulative man and the sentence reflects the horrific nature of this attack.
"The victim was viciously assaulted and left for dead in her home – the one place where she should have felt safe.
"The consequences of this assault have been far-reaching and long-lasting.
"Sargent is a violent and dangerous individual who poses a significant threat to women.
"I pay tribute to the courage of the victim in this case, with the support of her family she has shown great strength and dignity.
"She now faces the difficult task of rebuilding her life and I wish her every success in doing so.
"Essex Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have worked tirelessly to ensure MatthewSargent was brought to justice.
"We recognise the impact of violence and abuse within the home at all levels and will take positive action to bring offenders to justice and safeguard victims."

Sentences are so weird, he was be out after 8 years (although he can be recalled to prison if he breaches the terms of his licence). Life sentences sometimes have a lower minimum tariff that than, sometimes not, commercial theft aka armed robbery often get someone much longer, kiddy fiddlers can get very soft sentences (unless they do something really bad).
The whole thing is a lottery depending on what judge you get, what area of the country its in & what mood the judge is in.
Given the conservatives and labour don't care perhaps UKIP should propose a refreshing of the justice system, elected judges / uniformed sentences. I think that would go down well.

On the + side at least he can now stop drinking. Sentences are so weird, he was be out after 8 years (although he can be recalled to prison if he breaches the terms of his licence).

Sadly, it does only take the once and whether you think you are "the type" or not, if it happens or looks to be happening, I urge all women and men to be strong and get away and seek help as soon as you can.
Good luck and best wishes Hayley! x

Most women would like to have long hair, but there is a very important issue to know when it comes to long hair care. One of them is there is so much more hair to worry about and it needs to use the specific types of products that are going to help in the hair care regime. This is because having shiny hair is a symbol of healthy hair because the layers of the cuticle lie flat and reflect light.
There are several different parts of long hair care. The first one is shampooing. There are many different types of shampoos which you can choose from, but for long hair care it is best to use one that is going to focus on taking care of split ends. The shampoo should not be too drying but the hair must not be feeling oily or greasy at the same time.
Why reading the label on the shampoo is important? The ingredients that are included in the shampoo formula is going to obviously have a great effect on how well it works on the hair especially for long hair care. Shampoos that are all natural and which contain no chemicals or byproducts are generally the best, because they are going to be gentler and more nourishing on the hair.
Finding a right conditioner for long hair care is a must for you. However, it is again depend largely on the type of hair that the conditioner is going to be used for. Having long hair doesn't mean that a person has long hair, they do not have a certain hair category, this is not true at all. It doesn't matter whether you have long or short hair, they are still going to be categorized as fine, medium, and thick hair types, and you will know which type of hair do you have easily.
What you have to do is to tie your hair back into a ponytail, and look at the size of the ponytail. If the ponytail is small, it shows the finer the hair, and the bigger the ponytail is the thicker the hair is.
In long hair care regime, it is important to choose a rich, moisturizing conditioner, especially if the hair tends to get dry or there are a lot or has a lot of product used on it. Using a volumizing conditioner is suitable if the hair is limp and fine because this will give body and volume to the hair. A good idea is to replace the brand of conditioner every month or so, as hair can become immune to a specific formula's effects and as a result buildup will occur.
Things to remember
It is very important for a person who want to keep long hair must know long hair care and so that it is healthy and shiny looking, as long as they take proper care of it and use the right products.

Yahoo! Sports - BYU trying to end 17-year drought
So how can the seventh-seeded Cougs break the spell this year, when they go up against Florida Thursday afternoon? • Rely on Jimmer Fredette. One of the best names in basketball also has one of the best strokes. He's scored more than 40 points multiple times this year, including a conference-best 49 points over Arizona right before the New Year. Fredette battled with mono for the better part of this season, but when he's clicking he's got "in-the-gym" range, as Gus Johnson is prone to say. • Get out to a big lead. BYU was over, toast, done, dead and buried 10 minutes into its game against A&M last March because the Aggies sprinted to a 26-8 lead and never looked back. Well, BYU leads the country in scoring margin at 18.5 points-per-win. Best build a cushion against a Florida team that hasn't proven an ability to come back in a lot of games. • If the Gators keep it close, BYU has to continue to push the pace and be as aggressive as possible. This will benefit it in two ways: BYU scores more than every other team in the tournament, averaging 83.5 points per game. And if BYU's pace is frantic and aggressive at the hoop, it will get to the line very, very often against a grab-happy Gators team. BYU shoots free throws at a 78.4-percent clip, the best in the country as well. • Lastly, Fredette and fellow guard Jackson Emery (who is fourth in the nation in steals, by the way) can counter Florida's interior defense (if it shows up) by extending it beyond the 3-point arc and nailing the long ball. The Cougars are third in the country, shooting 42.1 percent from downtown. Seems silly such a proficient team is seeded seventh, right? We're still confused, too.

December 17, 2004
Sumter County- A cow apparently waded to an island in the middle of Lake Blackshear and got stuck there. Today, she was rescued from life threatening danger.
The water is now rising after it was lowered for people to repair their docks. The cow would have likely drowned had it stayed on the island. A Georgia State Patrol helicopter crew attached a harness to their chopper. The cow, who had been sedated, was strapped in and flown over the lake to safety.
Onlooker Susan Jenkins says "I went down to the water and looked, and I saw the cow on the Island and just watched him. I waited for the helicopter. It landed, and they got it ready to go up and waited and saw them lift it up, and that was pretty interesting. I never saw a cow flying in the air before, but now I can say I have."
The cow is emaciated, but has been transported to a local foster farm to be brought back to health.

President Obama will speak at Knox College in Galesburg on Wednesday about education and money for schools. But much of his speech will focus on the current economic outlook.
The City of Galesburg has had its own battles with a tough economy over the past several years -- numbers show the poverty is rate up, with employment down. But there are signs of revival.
Sitka Salmon Shares is a new business located in Galesburg's Sustainable Business Center. It's so popular, it's expanding.
"We have tripled our capacity so we need more freezer space," said Genevieve Crow, Sitka Salmon Shares. "We need more help to get everything packaged and out the door."
This is a very good problem to have when you're a growing business.
"We have more fish and more customers," said Crow.
The fish aren't local, but that's part of what makes this Midwest business so successful. Sitka Salmon Shares is a company founded by a Knox College professor, Nic Mink, who taught environmental studies. He took a trip to Sitka and that's where he became involved with Alaskan fisheries.
"So, they were able to bring their product here for consumers who might not have available that quality of seafood," said Crow.
The Galesburg company boasts consumer transparency -- if you buy the fish, you know everything about where it comes from, right down to the boat and the fisherman who caught it. That's part of the business model.
But the sustainable business center has been a big help, too.
"It's definitely been really helpful being at the Sustainable Business Center," said Crow, "because we're able to share a lot of things with other businesses."
Employees with Sitka Salmon Shares hope President Obama will make a surprise visit to the business on Wednesday --
"We'd definitely give the president a sample of our salmon," Crow said.

Retirement beckons for Watford man Paul Salamone, of Tonino & Sons, who holds Guinness World Record for 'longest career as ice cream man'
Updated 1:41pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Charlotte Ikonen, Reporter
The Guinness World Record holder for the 'Longest Career as an Ice Cream Man' is hoping he will be cone but not forgotten when he retires next month.
Paul Salamone has owned Tonino & Sons since 1971, and was recognised by Guinness World Records as having the 'Longest Career as an Ice Cream Man' last year.
After nearly 50 years in the trade, Mr Salamone is getting ready to hand the reins to his family.
The 75 year-old, who lives on Sotheron Road in Watford, said: "I have had the best 48 years in the business – starting in 1965 when I moved here with my wife from Italy.
"As soon as I came over to the UK I saw an ice cream van and knew that was what I wanted to do.
"I bought my van in 1971 and haven't looked back since."
Mr Salamone has also been manufacturing ice cream since he started his own business. He now has six vans, which can be found around Watford during the summer months.
He continued: "We used to be out all year but things have changed.
"There have been a lot of changes over the years. We have had hard times and good but have survived them all and are still going."
"I am so thankful to all the customers he had served over the years. I couldn't possibly remember how many ice creams I have sold."
Mr Salamone's son-in-law is gearing up to take over the business with family members.
The 39-year-old said: "I am very excited and also daunted.
"We were very excited to see Paul awarded with his Guinness record – a record which I cannot see myself breaking.
"It was my 10-year-old son, Ethan, who discovered his grandfather had broken the record. It was an exciting experience. We are happy to be able to keep the business going. It has a great reputation and we hope to continue it and expand."
Mr Salamone also broke the record for whipping the biggest ice cream last year – which was 18cm, previously held by Paul O'Grady.
Throughout his career, all three of his children have at some point been involved in the business, and he said he would be "sad to leave".
He continued: "I will miss the people – I have been here since the 60s and have served grandmothers, mothers, children and their children.
"It has also been a pleasure working with family. I am excited to get away from work and do and see things I haven't done before."

He may not weigh as much thanks to a vegan diet. But former President Bill Clinton can still throw his weight around politically, at least in Southern California.
All five Democratic congressional candidates endorsed by Clinton at a late October rally in Irvine won or are winning their races, including Inland candidates Mark Takano and Raul Ruiz.
Takano beat Republican Riverside County Supervisor John Tavaglione in the 41st Congressional District, which covers Riverside, Moreno Valley, Perris and Jurupa Valley. Ruiz defeated incumbent Republican Mary Bono Mack in the 36th Congressional District, which covers Banning, Beaumont and Hemet.
Takano and Ruiz shared the stage with the former president. Clinton also endorsed Julia Brownley, who won a Ventura County seat; Alan Lowenthal, who prevailed in the Long Beach area and Scott Peters, who holds a narrow lead for a San Diego-area seat as of Friday afternoon.
Clinton's been out of office for more than 10 years, but he's on one of the biggest political rolls in his career. His speech in defense of President Barack Obama was considered by many to be the hilight of the Democratic National Convention.
Here are links to a stories I wrote about Clinton's visit and its potential effect on the election.

The City of Pascagoula is calling on more South Mississippians to help restore the historic Round Island Lighthouse. The city began the project back in 2010 and is now short of funding.
The sound of progress could be heard at the foot of the U. S. Highway 90 Bridge in Pascagoula. Work crews spent Thursday restoring the historic Round Island Lighthouse.
Built in 1859, it was recently moved to land after taking a beating from storms such as hurricanes Georges and Katrina.
"Keep it a little safer from all the wind and the wave actions and the storms we have coming in," Community Development Director Jen Dearman said.
The historic lighthouse is now getting a $1.4 million facelift.
"It does need a lot of work and we are getting there. We have already completed phase one and phase two of this project. Phase one was relocation and phase two was the lantern gallery restoration," Dearman said.
Workers are now on phase three.
"When it is done, it will look exactly like it did on Round Island. It will be complete and it will have the lantern gallery on the top. You are going to be able to go into it and climb up. It is going to be fully functional, as far as that goes. We will have it open for special events, parties and anything else," Dearman said.
The city still needs around $100,000 to complete this project, and city leaders asking South Mississippians to dig deep in their pockets to help.
"People should help because this symbolizes what our city is. Our city is a great community that is resilient and that has overcome so many challenges in the last few years. This really encases all that and epitomizes that spirit of Pascagoula," Dearman said.
The city is hoping to have the lighthouse open by summer 2013. If you would like donate to the lighthouse project or become a sponsor, call the Pascagoula Community Development office at (228) 938-6639.

With New Year's Day quickly approaching, I was hoping we could set up a WiiM meet up in Ann Arbor on the day of the game? I will do some research to try to find a cool place to meet up before the game for coffee or snacks or beer or all of the above!
Also, at the time of this writing I HAVE ONE EXTRA TICKET available to the Winter Classic that I am willing to sell at face value to the right WiiM reader or writer. You must also buy the Great Lakes Invitational ticket that is packaged with it. The tickets will be shipped to my house on the week of Dec. 2nd according to Ticket Bastard. If you are interested in going and sitting with me at the game, please email me firstname.lastname@example.com and we will try to work something out.
I am also going to the Alumni Game on NYE. I would also like to try to have a meetup in Detroit that day too! I am open to suggestions for that as well, but I want to try Slow's BBQ in Detroit!
