The High Price of Indicriminate Incarceration
Commissioner Tommy Adkisson
September 2, 2004
Bexar County exists principally though not exclusively to deliver health at the University Health System and justice through the courts, the jail, the District Attorney's Office and et cetera. Because of this link to justice, last Friday night I had the honor and privilege of addressing the new graduates of the Bexar County Detention Academy run by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. These are the brave young men and women who secure our community's major lock-up facility we know as the jail. They are sharp-looking and well-prepared to enter service.
Just review what they have studied in order to receive a Basic Jailer Certification: legal aspects of the job, cultural awareness, civil rights, fire fighting principles, report writing, use of force, handcuffing techniques, defensive tactics, facility security, inmate rights, basics in ground fighting, 24 hours of firearms training, investigation, liability, courtroom demeanor, inmate visitation, sudden in-custody death syndrome, inmate rights and privileges, ethics, violent inmates, disruptive groups, booking, identification, releasing and classification procedures, communicable diseases, jail concepts, contraband searches of inmates, persons with mental disabilities, suicide screening, survival Spanish, and Texas Commission on Jail Standards rules. Whew!
The Tax on Thoughtlessness
Back in the 1980's when I was a State Representative, we had some serious prison overcrowding. The prison experts told us: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have a problem you cannot build your way out of." I never forgot the wise words of those experts. Like so many issues in public life, you can showboat or demagogue about an issue and mislead the public or you can attempt to enlighten, delve deeper into the subject and fix the root cause of the problem! Think and act or pay a tax on thoughtlessness!
Of one thing I am certain: I want plenty of jail space for those that need to be in our jail, but not one single cell for someone who has no business in our maximum security jail. Therein lays the problem: not all prisoners are in need of a maximum security jail cell. Taxpayers cannot afford to finance unlimited numbers of maximum security jail cells! Every 400 inmates per year costs Bexar County $7.2 million!
At present however, due to a serious incarceration mentality, we have a significant number of lesser offenders that are sent to jail not just here but all over the country instead of to minimum-security facilities. As a result we have bloated jails and prisons. And we end up having less money for better salaries and working conditions of the detention guards working in the jail, among other things.
As a reflection of the incarceration mentality that drives extraordinary prison population levels, my research found the following relative to the world, other states in the U.S. and U.S. counties:
World: U.S. has 1,962,220 inmates derived from a population of 286 million while China has a lesser 1,428,126 million inmates from a population of 1.285 billion people. (Source: Home Office, Great Britain)
States: Texas has 164,222 inmates derived from a population of 22 million people while California has 163,361 inmates from a much larger population of 35 million people. New York has 65,914 inmates from a population of 18 million! (Source Book, Governing Magazine)
Counties: Of the top 50 inmate jail populations, Los Angeles County has 21,184 inmates; Harris has 7,300, Dallas has 6,814 and Bexar County, the 21st largest in the nation has 3,597. Actually, our population was at 3,950 as of last Friday. (Source Book, Governing Magazine and Bexar County Sheriff's Office, Detention)
The Ultimate Solution
- One size does not fit all! Let's put a square peg in a square hole; round peg in a round hole! To place a person with outstanding traffic warrants or similar offenses in our maximum security jail with a violent offender is inappropriate and expensive!
- Let's keep our lesser, non violent offenders working in Work Release and require them to pay their room and board to the County, child support or restitution if applicable, court costs and fines, but bottom line: keep them working! To do this we should develop a larger work release capacity in a separate minimum security facility.
- At the same time, develop a range of appropriate alternatives to maximum-security incarceration such as drug alcohol centers, geographical information systems, electronic monitoring and voice verification where appropriate. This will also contribute to a far more functional society.
- In keeping with these thoughts, I will propose that over and above existing allocations for detention officers, money saved from responsibly decreasing the population of the Bexar County Jail be invested in the compensation of our detention officers until a pre-agreed-to market value on detention salaries has been reached.
- I have encouraged the new detention guards to be a part of their association and a part of the solution to unnecessary, bloated jail population so we can invest in the people that run the jail, and beyond. Part of the "beyond" includes the fight against rising taxes, excellence in service delivery and more.
Although not covered in this article, an accurate picture of true costs must include indirect costs of incarceration such as the loss of employment among lesser offenders not placed on work release or some alternative form of incarceration. I look forward to keeping you posted on the progress of our work with the Bexar County Jail and as always, invite your comments on this or any other of the vital issues of the day!

As we all know, shoulder health is paramount in crossfit. From personal experience I've found that shoulders tend to be one of the most commonly injured and painful joints in crossfit. I believe one of the major reasons for this is that Crossfit contains a large amount of shoulder intensive exercises. To reinforce the point, here are some of the most common crossfit exercises:
- Barbell / dumbbell / kettlebell overhead press, push press, thrusters, push/split jerk
- Pushups, handstand pushups, handstand walking, dips, burpees
- Pull-ups, kipping pull-ups, toes to bar Continue reading

"My Neighbor's Closet" is open again this weekend.
The annual event which helps provide clothing and supplies for Cooperstown families in need will take place Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon in the high school cafeteria.
Sponsored by the Cooperstown Angel Network, and open to students and their families in the Cooperstown School District, the annual project is designated to help struggling families in the area by creating an opportunity for people with extra essential items to easily and anonymously pass them along.
For weeks, The Angel Network, headed up by Stephanie Nelen, president, and Alyssa McGoldrick, liason between school and community, has been receiving donations of new and gently used clothing, storing the bags in a helpful friend's garage in town.
"Basically, we need fall and winter clothing, along with shoes, boots and coats for school-aged children K - 12. Generally the sizes are 5/6 all the way up to adult," McGoldrick said while standing in front of the garage, while high-school volunteers worked diligently, sorting the items into genders and sizes.
"Helpful, too," she adds, "are snow pants. We work getting needed clothing to students throughout the year, but by the time really cold weather gets here, snow pants are harder to find."
McGoldrick also said that socks and underwear are always useful, but, of course, need to be donated new.
The Cooperstown Angel Network was started about nine years ago in typical grass roots fashion.
"One of my friends was volunteering, helping a teacher out in a kindergarten class, when it became apparent, there was a birthday for one of the children, but none of the usual parent-provided cupcakes. The sad student revealed her mother didn't have the means to bring them in," said Noelle Hage, one of the original founders of the organization, who no longer lives in Cooperstown, but was at the sorting site nonetheless, volunteering. "My friend raced home, baked some cupcakes, and took them back to the school in time to celebrate."

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) - Investigators say a man with an assault rifle has robbed a Houston-area Tiffany & Co. store and fled with some expensive jewelry.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office on Thursday worked to identify the suspect, whose image has been captured on store surveillance video.
Lt. Dan Norris says a man late Wednesday afternoon held up the high-end retail store in The Woodlands. The cap-wearing suspect looked at some rings before pulling the rifle from his bag.
Norris says the man sprayed several Tiffany's workers with a chemical irritant before stealing some items and running out the door. No serious injuries were reported.
The upscale jewelry chain is based in New York.

Danny Connor: Don't Be Surprised If I Stop Evangelou This Time.
by Gianluca Di Caro on Mar.08, 2013, under Buzz
Danny Connor: Don't Be Surprised If I Stop Evangelou This Time.
This coming Saturday Southern Area Light Welterweight Champion Danny 'Cassius' Connor defends his coveted crown at the Matchroom Sport promoted 'Betfair London's Finest' event at the Wembley Arena.
Connor is very much the modern 'Cinderella Man' on the domestic boxing scene, having lost four out of his first five fights, drawing the other, before turning his career around in May 2011, with a close fought victory over Duane Grimes at York Hall in London. A turnaround the Hackbridge, Surrey man puts a hundred percent down to his coach, Alec Wilkey, and the World class sparring at his home gym, the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town.
Since that career changing win, Connor has won six out of seven bouts, including winning both the British Masters Welterweight title, by a close 96-95 points victory over Tyler Goodjohn. Then four months later causing a major upset, with the sensational against the odds victory over previously unbeaten Chris 'The Flash Evangelou, for the Southern Area strap, by a resounding 98-94 points margin.
Connor's opponent on Saturday night will once again be the aforementioned Chris 'The Flash' Evangelou, something that clearly pleases Connor, who responded to comments from the Evangelou camp saying.
"I've not much to say really, I won the first fight, won it by four rounds.
I thought I'd won the fight pretty handily so I don't see what he has to complain about.
This time around it'll be pretty much the same thing, but I'm a lot more fitter this time, a lot more healthier than I was last time so don't be surprised If I don't go for a stoppage this time, we'll see what happens.
Been doing a lot of sparring, you get the best sparring here at the TRAD TKO, been sparring with Darren Hamilton, Billy Morgan, Tommy Martin, done a few rounds with Anthony Upton and a few of the other new boys up here.
As I said you get the best sparring up here so there's nothing that he's going to have in his locker to have the upper hand on me.
I'm going to retain the Southern Area title on Saturday, after that I have been told that I might have a spot in Prizefighter.
I'm also considering moving to Lightweight, if I win a title at Lightweight then I'll have a title at Lightweight, Light Welterweight and Welterweight, which would be nice, wouldn't it.
To my fans, thank you for your awesome support.
To everyone else, if you haven't got tickets or can't get there on the night make sure you watch it on Sky as I'm going to smash him to pieces."
Tickets, priced £40, £60 and £80, for the Matchroom Sport promoted 'Betfair London's Finest at Wembley Arena on Saturday 9th March, are on sale now at www.tkoboxoffice.com or direct from Danny Connor at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA.
George Groves signs with Matchroom Boxing
by Gianluca Di Caro on Mar.04, 2013, under Buzz
George Groves signs with Matchroom Boxing
'The Saint' to box on March 9 Wembley show and on Froch vs. Kessler undercard
George Groves has signed a promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing.
The unbeaten Commonwealth super middleweight star will box for the first time under his new promoter Eddie Hearn on the Betfair 'London's Finest' bill at the Wembley Arena on London, live on Sky Sports.
Groves is also the first fighter to be confirmed for the undercard of the huge Sky Box Office clash between Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler in 'Warrior's Call' in association with Betfair at the O2 Arena in London on May 25.
The 24 year olds biggest win came on a Sky Box Office bill at the O2 when he saw off bitter rival James DeGale in May 2011, and the Hammersmith talent has since destroyed Paul Smith in two rounds, travelled to America to deposit Francisco Sierra in six and heavily outpointed Glen Johnson in east London.
Groves will now seek a path to World title glory under Hearn and the popular Londoner is excited at the next stage of his career.
"It's a very exciting opportunity for me," said Groves, who faces Argentine Dario German Balmaceda over ten rounds on Saturday, the second live fight on Sky Sports. "I've known Eddie for quite a while now, he's doing great things promotionally and I'm excited to be a part of it.
"It's great to be boxing in London and Wembley is a great Arena to box in so I'm really excited about getting in there on Saturday. I've had three fights in 18 months which is not ideal so it will be great for me to get out regularly, I'm healthy, I'm training hard and Eddie has promised to keep me busy so everything is looking good and I'm raring to get back into action."
Groves' chief-support slot on the Froch vs. Kessler bill will land just over two years since he beat DeGale in an enthralling contest and Groves expects to be in a huge fight on May 25, and is targeting the winner of Arthur Abraham vs. Robert Stieglitz, as well as holding more than a passing interest on the main event at the O2.
"It is massive worldwide exposure for me and a step in the right direction," said Groves. "I'm at that level now where I'm knocking on the door for World titles and working with Matchroom and being on Sky Sports should help me get closer to that dream. I expect that will be a big fight as chief-support to the main event. I've had to give up my spot as the mandatory for the European title but hopefully that door isn't shut and it's still a possible route, but I'm well ranked in the governing bodies and I want to fight for a World title.
"I'm ranked number one with the WBO and Abraham vs. Stieglitz and fight for that in a few weeks so I'll be keeping a keen eye on that and I'll have just as close an eye on the Froch vs. Kessler fight as I really believe I could get a crack at the winner and I think Eddie knows I want that fight so it ties in nicely.
"The DeGale fight was the best atmosphere I've ever boxed in and I have still got loads of friends and family and the guy on the street that still talk to me about that night and say it was the best atmosphere they've ever experienced. I imagine that the way that the tickets have sold and with all the hype that will build closer to the fight that Froch vs. Kessler that we'll experience similar things. Obviously those two have a much healthier relationship than I did with DeGale but it will be incredibly exciting and great to be back at the O2 Arena and in a massive fight."
Hearn added: "I am delighted to welcome George to the Matchroom stable. He's a tremendous talent and a real star in the super middleweight division – not just in the future but today. His debut for us on Saturday is a great addition to an already top class bill, and he'll play a huge part in the Froch vs. Kessler night on May 25."

Ochieng In Confident Mood, Ahead Of Carruthers March 9th Test

Ochieng In Confident Mood, Ahead Of Carruthers March 9th Test
English Light Middleweight Champion Erick 'The Eagle' Ochieng makes the fourth defense of his crown, against the highly experienced Terry Carruthers from Birmingham, at the Matchroom Sport promoted 'Betfair London's Finest' event, which takes place at Wembley Arena on Saturday, the 9th March.
Ochieng, who has proved beyond doubt that he is fast becoming the dominant force within the domestic Light Middle scene, having dispatched the likes of Andrew Lowe, Ryan Toms and Max Maxwell since beating Nick Quigley to lift the vacant title back in January last year, firmly believes that it's time to move on, to either challenge for the British or Commonwealth crown.
"Yeah, the fight is going to be on the 9th March and it's going to be a good fight, because it's against Terry Carruthers," said the 25 year old from Stoke Newington.
"He's a tough, ugly fighter so I'm gonna come out and look pretty.
Preparation has been going well and we're looking for another win and then on to bigger things, which will be the British or the Commonwealth, that's what we are looking for at the minute.
I promise before this year ends you'll be looking at the British or Commonwealth Champion, without doubt.
I want to give a big shout out to all my fans and sponsors, Addison Lee, Glenn Insurance. I want the 'Eagle' crowd to come out in force, because the fight's going to be a great fight.
Not just my fight, but they'll be other great fights at 'Betfair London's Finest' and it's gonna be a great night of action. TRAD TKO's Danny Connor defends his Southern Area against Chris Evangelou, my team mate and another of the TRAD TKO crew, Wadi Camacho takes on China White for the English Cruiserweight title, Darren Barker and Lee Purdy also fighting for titles.
'Eagle', 'Eagle', 'Eagle' oh and I'm gonna be coming in to my track, Erick The Eagle, yep that's what I am going to be entering the ring with."
Tickets, priced £40, £60 and £80, for the Matchroom Sport promoted 'Betfair London's Finest at Wembley Arena on Saturday 9th March, are on sale now at www.tkoboxoffice.com or direct from Erick Ochieng at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA.

'Dazzling' to face Simone Rotolo for vacant IBF Inter-Continental middleweight title on March 9
Darren Barker will fight Italian champion Simone Rotolo for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental middleweight title at the top of the bill of Betfair's 'London's Finest' show at Wembley Arena on March 9, live on Sky Sports.
Rotolo (35-3), who hasn't tasted defeat since a 2007 European title fight against former World champion German Sebastian Sylvester, was due to face Barker at Alexandra Palace in September before injury forced the Barnet-born boxer to withdraw.
Barker, who became engaged after proposing to girlfriend Gemma Kao at Wembley Stadium earlier in the week, has recently returned from a training camp in Spain and says he is ready for the difficult task Rotolo will present him as he works towards World title contention.
"I have watched him," said the 30 year old. "I suppose there is a sense, a little bit, of unfinished business as well where I had to pull out of the September fight so it will be good to get in there and put this one behind me, put on a good performance and really crack on.
"He is experienced, he has had 30-odd fights, he is in his late 30s so he knows his way around the ring. He will be looking to make things difficult.
"I think he likes to do a lot of his work off the back foot so he is tough and experienced but I have a good bit of momentum behind me at the moment, I am injury free and really looking forward to putting on a good show.
"I am feeling really good, I am in fantastic shape and I had a good training camp out in Spain. I am where I want to be, if not slightly in front.
"[Spain] was a lot of hard work, it was some real graft. We have a fantastic team spirit at our gym, it is almost like a football club if you like, and if anyone has the hump we pull each other through. It was a good camp but tough."
Barker's title fight is supported by a mouth-watering clash between Lee Purdy and Carson Jones, Erick Ochieng's English light middleweight title defence against Prizefighter star Terry Carruthers and an English title shot for cruiserweight Wadi Camacho against unbeaten China Clark.
There are Southern Area title bouts for Ryan Taylor against Liam Shinkwin at lightweight and Chris Evangelou in a rematch of the tasty light welterweight title fight edged by Danny Connor when the pair clashed in September. Unbeaten Islington middleweight John Ryder and former Team GB star Martin J. Ward are also in action in fights to be announced soon.
Tickets for Betfair's 'London's Finest' are on sale now priced £40, £60 and £80 at www.tkoboxoffice.com – tel: 07960 850645
Martin Responds: Bring It On Connor, I'll Beat You So Bad You'll Leave In A Body Bag

Martin Responds: Bring It On Connor, I'll Beat You So Bad You'll Leave In A Body Bag
Malta's newest Champion, 'Super' Steve Martin is seething, just a couple of days after he won the WBU Light Welterweight International title, with a sensational fifth round stoppage of Germany's Sabri Ulas Goecmen, that Great Britain's Danny 'Cassius' Connor publicly called him out.
Following Connor's provocative statement hitting the boxing and sports news websites around the World, Connor's Facebook page was inundated with 'strongly worded' messages from Martin's irate fans, whilst Martin's overflowed with messages of support.
Thing's then got a little more heated as Martin and Connor, who is the current British Masters Welterweight and BBBofC Southern Area Light Welterweight Champion, exchanged insults on the social media network.
Even though it is the Season of Goodwill to All, for some reason I don't think Connor is going to receive any gifts or seasonal greetings from Martin, whose anger hasn't subsided one iota, as is clear by the barbed statement the twenty five year old from Pieta made earlier today.
"Bring it on Connor, I love to shut big mouths like yours, that are only good for trash talking.
I'll fight you in the ring, outside the ring, f**k even in one of those poxy phone boxes, you Brits like so much.
You say you'll come to my lovely Island to take what's mine, I just hope you can walk the walk, 'cause after all the crap you've spouted, I'm gonna beat you up so bad that you're gonna leave my BACKYARD in a body bag.
So if you don't have the balls to back it up, do us all a favour 'Bruv', shut the f**k up."
Connor: Tell Martin I'll Come To His Back Yard, Smash Him Up And Take His Title
by Gianluca Di Caro on Dec.18, 2012, under Buzz
Connor: Tell Martin I'll Come To His Back Yard, Smash Him Up And Take His Title
British Masters Welterweight and Southern Area Light Welterweight Champion Danny 'Cassius' Connor has his eyes on an even bigger prize in the New Year, Steve Martin's newly won WBU Light Welterweight International Title.
Hackbridge, Surrey's Connor has had a magnificent year on the Championship trail. His first big scalp of the year was that of Ely, Cambs' exciting young prospect Tyler Goodjohn, who he beat by a single point in a storming, all action British Masters Welterweight Title Battle Royale at York Hall back in May.
His second was even bigger, Eddie Hearn's then unbeaten star, Enfield's Chris 'The Flash' Evangelou, for the vacant BBBofC Southern Area strap at Hearn's Matchroom Sport promoted mega event at Alexandra Palace in September.
Connor now wants to move on from the domestic to the International scene and the challenge to Pieta, Malta's Steve Martin seems to be a logical move.
Martin, who won the coveted belt last Friday with a fifth round stoppage over German hard man Sabri Ulas Goecmen, is far less experienced than Connor, having only fought seven times previously to the Surrey man's thirteen outings.
Following another grueling training session, at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in the heart of London's East End, a clearly irked Connor spoke of his intention to rip the belt from the grip of Martin.
"I want to get it out there that Steve Martin from Malta is a fraud, he's fought no one and I want to go over there and smash him up and take his title.
If he's a man, he should accept my challenge. I'm not even saying I'll fight him over here, I'll come to his back yard and bash him up.
So if you're a man Steve let's get it on, let's do this, I'll come to your back yard and I'll smash you up in front of all your mates, whatya say bruv."
Brilliant Barker targets 2013 World title – Londoner aims for huge fights next year after Hope demolition

Brilliant Barker targets 2013 World title – Londoner aims for huge fights next year after Hope demolition
Darren Barker reignited his World title ambitions with a brutal four round demolition job on Kerry Hope in the Betfair 'Christmas Cracker' at the London Olympia on Saturday night (December 8).
Barker was boxing for the first time in 14 months since bravely challenging Sergio Martinez in Atlantic City and against fellow former European champion Hope he dispelled any question that his time out had diminished his talents as he unveiled a spiteful punching Darren Barker to compliment his trademark style and technical ability.
Barker felt his way into the contest in the opening round and sharpened up in the second as the confidence flowed into his gloves and he stepped on the gas in the third round, picking off the Welshman with some real punishment.
The Londoner continued his assault in the fourth round and did so with clinical brutality. A right uppercut was followed by a vicious right hook that floored Hope. The Merthyr Tydfil southpaw gamely beat the count but as Barker resumed his assault, Hope's trainer Gary Lockett pulled his man out of the firing line – leaving Barker to look forward to a year full of potentially huge fights.
"I missed hearing my name and it's fantastic to be back, it was enjoyable," said Barker. "I wasn't that nervous as the preparation for tonight was fantastic, I just thoroughly enjoyed it.
"Kerry deserves respect as he's a former European champion, and I dismantled him over four rounds so that's important to me and it proves to me that I belong at the highest level.
"If I had lost tonight or put in a bad performance, I would've called it a day, 100 per cent, because you cannot mess about in this sport. You have to do it properly and that performance has given me a lot of encouragement.
"I think I have another three or four years in the game and I want the big fights, to test myself against the World level operators. I've tasted that World level and I want to get back up there. I badly want to fight Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin and I am sure they want the fights too because they are fantastic fighters and great fights the fans want.
"There were a lot of frustrations coming out of me in there, not just for me but also for Eddie Hearn and Tony Sims and all the people who have stood by me through all of the injuries. I want to pay them all back with big fights and big wins."
Barker's gym mate John Ryder claimed the biggest win of his career as he stopped fellow unbeaten middleweight Eamonn O'Kane in the eighth round of their British middleweight title eliminator.
Kal Yafai's impressive start to his professional career continued as he took just three rounds to defeat Spanish bantamweight champion Jorge Perez – Yafai will step-up again on January 19 when he headlines a fight night in Wolverhampton.
Erick Ochieng can expect some big fights in 2013 after he successfully defended his English light middleweight title with a wide points win over Max Maxwell.
Ex-Team GB stars Martin J. Ward and Callum Smith gained wins in four-round contests, Wadi Camacho earned a stoppage win after an entertaining seven rounds against Hari Miles and Andreas Evangelou saw off Danny Couzens in a six round contest. American Carson Jones was due to face Lee Purdy at the top of the bill but illness ruled Purdy out and late replacement Dean Byrne left London with a well-earned draw from their eight round fight.
Barker set to dazzle the crowd at Betfair's 'Christmas Cracker'

Barker set to dazzle the crowd at Betfair's 'Christmas Cracker'
Chloe Sims lands role as Ring Card girl at London Olympia
Darren Barker makes his long-awaited return to the ring tomorrow night when he tops the bill at Betfair's 'Christmas Cracker' live on Sky Sports HD1 from the London Olympia.
The Barnet boxer has been beset by injury problems following his gallant World middleweight title challenge against Sergio Martinez in October 2011 and a partisan crowd will be looking to cheer him all the way to victory. Betfair punters have certainly been getting right behind the Londoner, with odds of 1-10 on a Barker win and 8-11 for the KO.
With 'Dazzling' Darren hoping to set Olympia alight with a show of force against opponent Kerry Hope, TOWIE star Chloe Sims will add a touch of glamour to the proceedings by becoming a ring card girl for the night. This week Chloe launched the first ever live odds boards for Betfair; these will be displayed in the ring between rounds to show the live Betfair In-Play prices. The move enables fans and viewers at home to keep track of the odds and place their bets as the markets react to every jab, body shot and uppercut.
TOWIE favourite Chloe said: "I'm excited to be part of the show on Saturday and I can't wait to get into the ring on Saturday night, the atmosphere is going to be electric. My family and I love boxing and we're going to be there backing Darren to win."

Yafai fires warning to bantamweight rivals – Kal gunning for titles ahead of date with Spanish champion

Yafai fires warning to bantamweight rivals – Kal gunning for titles ahead of date with Spanish champion
High-flying bantamweight Kal Yafai meets the Spanish champion Jorge Perez in Betfair's 'Christmas Cracker' at the London Olympia live on Sky Sports on Saturday (December 8) and he has fired a warning to his domestic rivals – I'm coming for you in 2013.
Yafai has raced to 5-0 in his first six months in the pro ranks and has earned rave reviews with four stoppage wins from his first five clashes, the last one coming in just 52 seconds live on Sky Sports against rated Italian Pio Nettuno on the Carl Froch vs. Yusaf Mack undercard.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has spoken of the difficulties in matching the Birmingham talent and steps him up in class again on Saturday against Perez – but Yafai is adamant he can live up to expectations.
"That is the thing; everyone is expecting me to get people out of there early now," said Yafai. "I just get on and do what I do, think about winning round by round and if the knockout comes it comes.
"I have surprised myself a little bit. I thought it would be a lot tougher, a lot harder to adapt to the pro ranks. But I have taken to it really well and I am really enjoying it and I think that is one of the most important things because when you enjoy it you perform.
"It was an early finish in Nottingham but it was another win, another knockout and it came with a good body shot.
"I didn't expect it to finish so early. I had watched him on YouTube and things like that and I expected it to go a bit longer than it did. It was a perfectly-placed body shot that got him out of there.
"I would like to get some more rounds in and hopefully I will get some more in on Saturday. It isn't a big problem that I am not getting lots of rounds in because I train really hard, I spar with top-class fighters up to lightweights and light welterweights, so I am sparring big fighters, strong fighters and technically very sound fighters. Two weeks before the fight I was training Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday eight rounds each day and it has been great."
Perez won the Spanish title in October against Ivan Pozo, who lost to Jamie McDonnell for the European title in March, and with a WBO European title loss against Ali Hallab in May also on his record from his 16 fights, the 28 year old represents another step up for Yafai.
"I said to Eddie that I will fight anybody, I think that is the way fighters are," said Yafai. "If he gives me a name I will jump at it. If he gave me a British or European champion now I would jump at the chance. Eddie knows what he is doing with me and I leave it down to him. I just do the training and get in there and deliver the goods on the night.
"I watched him fight against a guy I know called Ali Hallab. He looked good, he put Hallab down early in the fight which shows he can hit a bit but he ended up being knocked out with a left to the body and when I saw that I thought 'well that's an opening there'."
After turning pro in stellar amateur career that took in the 2008 Beijing Olympics among multiple titles wearing head guard and vest, Yafai believes he has mixed with top class opposition already is targeting title shots next year.
"I am not here to mess about and wait around," said Yafai. "I have the pedigree, I am fighting these fighters and getting them out really quickly so the quicker I can step up the better. The better the opponent, the better performance people will see out of me because I get to show people a lot more of what I am capable of doing.
"Hopefully there will be some sort of title fight early next year. Whether it is an Area or an English title, I will take anything that comes my way."
If Yafai can move to 6-0 with another stoppage win on Saturday he will end a topsy-turvy year on a real high. He was tipped to succeed at the 2012 Olympic Games in London but lost out on a place in the squad in a box-off against Andrew Selby. That disappointment gave way to excitement at turning pro, and with a headline-fight lined up in Wolverhampton in January, 2013 promises to be a huge year for Yafai.
"Last November I was in a bad way because I had missed out on the Olympics which I had spent four years training hard for," said Yafai. "I managed to pick myself up and turned over and I have had a really good start and now I am just really excited about the future. From when I turned pro to now has been brilliant. It has been a lot of hard work but I have got out what I have put in and I want to continue that into next year now."
Yafai's fight with Perez is part of a fantastic line-up of British talent in London with Darren Barker's return to action against fellow former European middleweight champion Kerry Hope topping the bill. John Ryder faces a crunch middleweight test against fellow unbeaten fighter Eamonn O'Kane in an eliminator for the British title whole Erick Ochieng defends his English light middleweight title against British title challenger Max Maxwell, and unbeaten cruiserweight Wadi Camacho faces Toks Owoh for the vacant Southern Area strap. American welterweight star Carson Jones faces Dean Byrne in an eight rounder and impressive young former Team GB stars Martin J. Ward and Callum Smith continue their pro education.

Ryder and O'Kane playing 'risk-reward' on Saturday night

Ryder and O'Kane playing 'risk-reward' on Saturday night
Middleweight duo sacrifice unbeaten records for a British title shot in 2013
Unbeaten middleweight duo John Ryder and Eamonn O'Kane are ready to sacrifice their '0s' for a shot at title glory as they clash in a British title eliminator in Betfair's 'Christmas Cracker' at the London Olympia, live on Sky Sports HD on Saturday night (December 8).
The victor out of Ryder (12-0) and O'Kane (8-0) can expect a shot at the title in 2013, which Billy Joe Saunders and Nick Blackwell box for next weekend, with the loser having to rebuild at the beginning of the year.
"It is a British title eliminator so hopefully it will put me in line for a final eliminator and then maybe a shot at the British champion," said Ryder. "I am not going to get too far ahead of myself; Eamonn is a big, dangerous opponent so I have to get through him first. I am not taking it for granted; it is a two-horse race on Saturday so we are both there to win.
"It is a good match, a good 50-50 fight and I am sure it is one the fans will be excited to see on Sky Sports as it's the ultimate risk-reward fight for both of us. He is a good, tough opponent with a lot of experience. He is 30 years old so he has been around the game for a long time, albeit as an amateur so I am expecting a good, hard fight.
"I have known he is about and he has called me out a couple of times on Twitter. It is a fight I didn't expect to happen straight away but it is here now so I will take the bull by the horns.
"It is definitely my biggest test yet, by far. Eamonn is a livewire, he is 8-0, he is in this business, he is 30 now and he has to start getting a move on
"I haven't seen too many of his fights. I saw him in the Prizefighter in Belfast, which he won, and his fight against Wayne Reed in Sheffield but I hadn't seen too much of him before I started getting my research done for Saturday.
"He might be 30 but he is a young 30, he has not been in many hard fights, he has had a brilliant amateur career and I expect a nice, live opponent. I have to be sensible, I have to box clever and not get involved in a fight. Eamonn looks big and strong so I will have to use my advantages against his."
O'Kane jumped to the front of the queue in the middleweight division with a dominant performance in the Betfair All-Irish Prizefighter Middleweights in May. A solid win over the dangerous Terry Carruthers followed in September, and the Commonwealth Games Gold medallist sees Saturday's fight as a huge opportunity.
"He's in the same sort of position as I am," said O'Kane. "He's 12-0 and he's looking to make that next step up to British title level and winning titles and honours so it definitely should be a good fight.
"It is going to be a tough fight for me and it is going to be a tough fight for John so it is going to be a great watch for the fans. I obviously have a game plan that I intend to bring to the fight and I am sure he will be looking to do the same. It is definitely an even fight so it will be interesting.
"I have seen John fight on some of the Matchroom shows and clips of him on Ringside. I was on the same bill as him when I fought Wayne Reed in Sheffield in July. He is definitely a talent and he has my respect. I have been training hard for Saturday and I know how stiff a challenge it is going to be but I am very confident in my capabilities and I think my pedigree in the amateurs and my professional fights so far will stand me in good stead to win this fight.
"We both could have taken easier fights. It is a risk for both of us but the benefits outweigh the risks. For me, that is the way it is."
"Some people choose easier routes but it is good on his part and on mine that we have made this fight. I wanted to fight and this was a chance to get a good fight before Christmas. It could lead to a final eliminator for a British title so I want to win on Saturday and then move onwards and upwards.
"He's a talented lad. He goes about his business quietly. He has an unorthodox style, a southpaw stance. He likes to hunch his shoulders and throws a few flashy shots.
"It is a great opportunity. It's certainly not ideal circumstances because you would like three months to prepare but sometimes you just have to grab your chance and that's what I'm going to do."
Ryder's clash with O'Kane is part of a fantastic line-up of British talent in London with Darren Barker's return to action against fellow former European middleweight champion Kerry Hope topping the bill. Erick Ochieng defends his English light middleweight title against British title challenger Max Maxwell, while unbeaten cruiserweight Wadi Camacho faces Toks Owoh for the vacant Southern Area strap.

C. Rangarajan to head petro-products pricing panel
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Oct 26
THE Chairman of the Prime Ministers Economic Advisory Council, Dr C. Rangarajan, is to head a five-member inter-ministerial committee that will formulate a long-term policy on pricing and taxation of petroleum products.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, the Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Mr S.C. Tripathi, said that the committee will submit its report within six months. It has been asked to suggest a comprehensive mechanism for pricing of sensitive petroleum products after taking into consideration the interest of all the stakeholders, including the Government, oil companies and the public.
"The committee should help respond to changing global oil scenario so that the interest of all the stakeholders is taken care off. At present it is not a very happy situation where there are frequent changes in the prices and we are unable to respond quickly leading to difficulties for all stakeholders," the Secretary said.
The proposed mechanism could cut down on the need to seek clearance from the Government every time there is drastic movement in the price of petroleum products. "If the situation changes drastically and the mechanism does not work, we will have to approach the Government, otherwise there may not be the need to go back to the Government," Mr Tripathi said.
When asked whether the committee will also look into pricing of petro-products and duty cuts, the Secretary said "Nothing has been ruled out. Theoretically, this can happen but we live in a practical world."
Commenting on the Cabinet decision to issue bonds that should help cover a substantial amount of under recoveries in the sector, the Secretary said that the Petroleum Ministry was in talks with the Finance Ministry for issuing them.

Boating accident leaves 2 dead: Two people are dead and one is missing after an apparent boating accident on the Yukon River about 10 miles downriver from Alakanuk on Tuesday. Alaska State Troopers said in a dispatch posted online Tuesday that boaters came upon a body on the riverbank about noon Tuesday, then found another body floating in the river. "Both bodies were wearing life jackets," the trooper dispatch says. "A search revealed debris from a boat and investigation determined that one other person was unaccounted for." A St. Mary's-based trooper will be investigating, and the dead will not be identified publicly until their next of kin is notified, troopers said.
Speaking of bears: It's getting colder around Alaska, and that means that bears are getting ready to enter hibernation. Employees at Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula in the southwest region of the state posted a video to their Flickr page Tuesday showing a hefty brown bear making its way through Brooks Camp, a hotspot for bear viewing at the park. As bears' traditional sources of food dry up as the state moves toward winter, they're more prone to make their way into new areas in search of sustenance.
That's one way to do it: Sure, Alaskans might debate whether guns or pepper spray are more effective in deterring a bear attack, but a woman hiking in New York may have thrown knives into the debate after she reportedly stabbed a black bear. The Associated Press reported that a woman hiking on a trail in New York state last week grew nervous when she saw she was being followed by three bears, and told officials that she stabbed one with an unspecified type of knife when it got too close. The woman reportedly wasn't harmed and the bear ran off. Park rangers were posting notices about the apparently aggressive bears.
Chase ends badly for suspect in Wasilla: Alaska State Troopers report that a high-speed pursuit through Wasilla -- which at times saw speeds of up to 95 mph -- ended late Monday with the suspect vehicle flipping into a ditch on the side of the road and troopers pulling the unconscious driver out "due to the vehicle potentially catching on fire." Troopers said in a dispatch that a traffic stop was attempted on a blue Dodge pickup truck shortly before 11 p.m. Monday when the truck took off down Bogard Road in the Mat-Su Valley, leading troopers on a chase before losing control and rolling several times. Troopers pulled 36-year-old Wasilla resident Jeremiah Coley from the vehicle, who was then flown to Anchorage for treatment. Troopers said alcohol appeared to be a factor in the case.
Pew makes suggestions on Arctic drilling: Vessels that can sustain crushing blows from icebergs, stashes of emergency equipment, a 100-day drilling season, spill control equipment and real-world Arctic tests should be required of oil companies that want to explore for petroleum offshore in U.S. Arctic waters, according to a new report from Pew Charitable Trusts. The 142-page document outlines roughly 80 recommendations the non-profit public policy organization thinks the Interior Department should consider when drafting its formal proposal of minimum standards for oil and gas activity in U.S. Arctic waters. Critics of the current regulations say they are designed for the more forgiving temperate waters in the Gulf of Mexico and that the government should distinguish between the two regions.

Controversy Grows Over Obama Signing Statements
Monday, August 10, 2009 at 9:01 am
Despite President Obama's previous criticism of former President George W. Bush's "signing statements" that limit the president's responsibility to comply with a bill passed by Congress, it turns out Obama has been doing much the same thing since he took office. Charlie Savage reported in The New York Times on Sunday that Obama has issued "dozens" of signing statements that allow him to bypass specific provisions of congressional legislation the president doesn't like. That's angered members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, from Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) to Barney Frank (D-Mass.). The American Bar Association, meanwhile, has called the practice unconstitutional.
But are the statements signed by Obama really the same as those signed by Bush?
Not surprisingly, longtime Democratic administration lawyers don't think so. Walter Dellinger, for example, who promoted the use of signing statements in the Clinton administration, says the difference is that Obama's signing statements are based on sound interpretations of constitutional law.
Signing statements "long have been used to signal the President's belief that some aspect of a piece of legislation is unconstitutional," Dellinger wrote in a 2006 response to the ABA, along with former Clinton officials David Barron and Martin Lederman, both now in the Obama administration's Office of Legal Counsel. The problem with Bush's signing statements were not that they expressed constitutional reservations about laws passed by Congress, but that they reflected "the unjustifiable arrogation of power" that Bush asserted in office.
Given the officials that populated the Office of Legal Counsel in the Bush years, it's not surprising that his signing statements may have crossed the line from legitimate reservations to unauthorized power grabs. Obama, who so far hasn't argued for a "Unitary Executive" or other theories of far-reaching executive power, seems to be issuing statements that at least on their face comport with generally accepted understandings of the law.
Still, his first signing statement, limiting executive officials' communications to Congress, illustrates the potential problem. In signing the bill, which prohibits executive officials from preventing or punishing government employees' communications to Congress, Obama added: "I do not interpret this provision to detract from my authority to direct the heads of executive departments to supervise, control, and correct employees' communications with the Congress in cases where such communications would be unlawful or would reveal information that is properly privileged or otherwise confidential."
The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University called that "a strike against transparency." Noting that the law was written to protect government employees who blow the whistle on government misconduct, "allowing the heads of executive branch to 'control' the employees' communications defeats the very purpose of the communications," and thwarts Congress' ability to exercise effective oversight. Moreover, notes the Brennan Center, the signing statement could have a chilling effect against potential whistleblowers, leaving them open to retaliation whenever the agency decides that the information revealed was "confidential."
So Obama's signing statements might not be unlawful, but at least some of them are politically questionable. Then again, they're not really all that surprising. As Andrew Cohen of CBS News put it back in March when Obama issued his first of many such statements: "If you were hoping that the Obama team would come into the White House and aggressively undercut its own power it's time to change dreams."

I'm wondering, is Daphne Eviatar (the author of this article) a calculating liar or just an incompetent hack? Charlie Savage did NOT say "Obama has issued "dozens" of signing statements that allow him to bypass specific provisions of congressional legislation." What Savage said was: "President Obama has issued signing statements claiming the authority to bypass dozens of provisions of bills enacted into law since he took office." And later: "Mr. Obama has attached signing statements to 5 of the 42 bills he has signed, focusing on 19 specific provisions." And later: "He also challenged, without listing them, 'numerous provisions' in a budget bill requiring officials to obtain permission from a Congressional committee before spending money. It contained dozens of such requirements." There's a difference. Get your facts straight, Sweetheart!

Maybe you can clarify what the purpose of those five signing statements were? Benign opinions on the President's views of a new (or altered) law – or do they circumvent that law in any manner?
Nonetheless, rather than focus on the grammatical (or purposeful) mis-characterization of Mr. Savage's comments, I feel it would behoove the country to talk about precendents and Stare Decisis. Using this as a guide, all of Bush's actions (including torture, pre-emptive war, signing statements, denial of H.C., etc.) are legal. Each time that President Obama follows the example of his predecessor, he confirms the legality of the precedent and makes the case for that action being legal stronger.
If you just breathed a sign of relief that Bush isn't going to be prosecuted and put through the legal test, I suggest you suck it back in as it means neither can Obama.
So whether there was one signing statement, five, seventeen, or a thousand – it matters little. What really matters is that the actions of Presidents Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., and now Mr. Obama, have robbed a check and balance from the American people.
Last thing, derzehn; "sweetheart" only displays your inherent sexism, and loses the irony of your ending. I suggest you find alternatives that are biting and witty, but don't insult swaths of the poulace. You may find an audience which is more agreeable to your points – which are seemingly logically based.

I do not like signing statements, no matter who does them. I am not a Constitutional scholar, but it seems to me that the framers of the Constitution intended for the president to veto a bill if he didn't like it. They didn't say, "you can accept it with an asterisk if you don't like part of it." They didn't specify exceptions to avoid legislative gridlock. If vetoes result in legislative gridlock, then we need to construct a Constitutionally acceptable solution, not an impromptu and Constitutionally suspect and unsupported signing statement. Despite what Bill Clinton's (and Bush's? and Obama's?) legal advisers have to say on the subject, a signing statement is, for all intents and purposes, functionally identical to a line item veto. The Supreme Court rejected that concept over 10 years ago.
But what if the legislation is veto-proof? What if the veto-proof legislation directs the president to undertake certain actions that threaten the Constitutional authority of the president? For example, what if a veto-proof law dictated the definition of Commander-in-Chief? Laws cannot do that. Laws do not trump the Constitution. If a president does NOT address this issue head-on in a signing statement, then isn't s/he tacitly accepting that Congress has the authority to re-imagine the Constitution via legislation? Isn't that a dangerous precedent?
So, what is the solution? I think the only current solution is the solution provided by the Constitution: if the president and the Congress disagree, the president is obligated to veto the law; if the president is unable to veto the law, then the president is obligated to refuse to enforce (or obey) the law (on Constitutional grounds) and must immediately challenge the law before the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court rules against her/him, the president must immediately begin to enforce (or obey) the law.
I am a flaming liberal, but I do not take kindly to side-stepping the Constitution by either a conservative OR a liberal president. There be dragons we don't want to awaken. I was taking Daphne Eviatar to task for either intentional or extremely sloppy fact (mis)management. That is acceptable neither from a journalist nor from a commentator.
As to my "sweetheart" comment: I disagree; you are wrong. Worse: you are being Politically Correct. An insult is most effective when it demeans the subject. That is the intent of an insult. Just because it reduces this one person (at whom it was directed) to subordinate status, it does not logically follow that it is directed at all other persons of the same gender (or race or sexual orientation or other affiliation). (One of my favorite political commentators is Rachel Maddow; I hardly think my barb aimed at Daphne pricked Rachel in any manner whatsoever.) Stop being so sensitive about being a women; it's nothing to be ashamed of.

"I don't understand the problem with the nudity in the film. What's the difference between male and female nudity? All men have penises, all women have sex, both accept masturbation as a natural need, yet despite all this people are scandalized by sex, while violence is accepted no problem. What are the criteria of judgment here? Is it possible that we can't do anything to challenge this censorship? The real problem of the main character in Shame isn't his obsession with sex, but rather his dependency on a certain mental scheme, an addiction that damages his own life as well as those of the people around him. Sex is a primitive instinct, an often amazing physical experience. Falling in love is something else entirely – you establish a deeper and more complex connection with the other person. Sex can be a thousand things: serious, playful, strange, thrilling. Having sex on the set is stressful, because you need to establish rules and limits. I generally ask my partner if I can kiss her, or caress her back, breasts, crotch, in order to understand how far I can push things without looking like a maniac. On the screen, female nudity is not only accepted but encouraged. My mother complains that men always have their pants on".

Reference processes supporting your business type
Commercial enterprises have different forms of organization for the distribution of goods and services from the producer to the consumer/customer and the control of payment and information flows.
The modeling of these organizational goods, cash and information flows varies from customer to customer – depending on the company size, the assortment and price policy, the service type, the clientele, and the type of debt collection.
With its standard reference model, Compex Commerce supports many organizational forms that are typical in the wholesale and retail industries, including:
- Established merchants without branches
- Small chains
- Multi-level trade covering wholesale and retail levels
- Centrally controlled specialized markets with or without central warehouses and distribution centers
- Retail chains, specialized trade chains with centrally controlled stores with or without central warehouses and distribution centers
- Group purchasing organizations serving as procurement centers for their members with or without warehouses
- Cooperatives (legally and economically autonomous companies) in the form of retailers' cooperatives with central settlement
- Mail-order businesses
- Franchise systems
- E-Commerce (B2B and B2C)
Compex Commerce for franchise and group purchasing organizations
Purchasing organizations and franchise concepts are more and more shaping the retail industry these days.
Organizational structures of that kind perform basic tasks for their members (customers), e.g. procurement, warehouse management, logistics, and settlement. Franchise systems also offer marketing and other services, plus they increase the interest of former customers in the company by making them new franchisees.
Compex Commerce is suitable for the company headquarters as well as for the single members. The reference model provides processes that meet the needs of retail and wholesale businesses with own central warehouses or stores – in a single solution without any interfaces.
Be up to date and offer your members "software as a service" (SaaS) – the customers will appreciate it.

WOODVILLE, Miss. (AP) - A series of fights between inmates led to 23 inmates being injured Tuesday at the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility, the prison's operator says.
Corrections Corp. of America tells The Natchez Democrat that fights broke out in multiple parts of the Woodville prison Tuesday night.
Three inmates were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Another 20 were treated at the prison for injuries.
CCA, based in Nashville, Tenn., said it took employees about an hour to contain the fights. The company said no staff members were injured. It said the Mississippi Department of Corrections had sent officials to the 995-bed prison, which houses state inmates.
A riot last month at CCA's Adams County Correctional Facility near Natchez resulted in the death of a prison guard. That prison houses federal inmates.

Four people are in jail after two drug busts in Wausau involving heroin and cocaine.
Sheriff's officers said the arrests came after a three month investigation.
Marathon County officials said Thursday they searched two homes connected to cocaine and heroin sales.
They arrested at 42-year-old man at a home on East Wausau Avenue for selling cocaine.
Officials said they also searched a home on South First Avenue.
Sheriff's authorities tell Newsline 9 they arrested a 29-year-old man earlier that day as part of the search, a 26-year-old woman, and a 23-year-old man for selling heroin.
Investigators said they didn't find a big stash of drugs in either case, but they said they've seen the problem growing here.
"Heroin has become a drug that is especially concerning to law enforcement in the area, we have seen a huge increase in the number of overdoses related to heroin," said Lt. Gary Schneck, Marathon County Sheriff's Department.
Marathon County authorities said there were about ten officers working the investigation.
Officials are not releasing names of the people arrested at this time.

WAUSAU (WAOW) – The Marathon County Sheriff's Department says searches of three Wausau homes in a three-month investigation of heroin, cocaine and crack trafficking led to four people being arrested.
Sheriff Scott Parks said Friday the arrests included a 42-year-old man, a 29-year-old man, a 26-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man on charges ranging from delivery of crack cocaine and heroin to maintaining a drug trafficking place and possession of marijuana.
Parks said a fifth person, a 41-year-old woman, was questioned in the raid but was not arrested.
The arrests followed searches at two Wausau homes and an apartment on Thursday that included a drug-sniffing dog, Parks said.
The sheriff's department's special investigations unit includes officers from the sheriff's department, Wausau Police Department and Everest Metro Police Department, the sheriff said.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.

Fresno Pacific Hoops Lands Two Huge Recruits
Friday, June 22, 2012 2:06 AM EDT
By Jessob Reisbeck -
Fresno, Calif. –
The Fresno Pacific men's basketball program took a major step forward in keeping the program nationally relevant as it heads into NCAA Division II and the Pacific West Conference this fall, as head coach Chris Wright announced the signings of National Junior College Player of the Year John Taylor and NCAA Division I transfer Malcolm Griffin.
Taylor, a 6'1" guard, joins the Sunbirds from Mott Community College in Michigan where he was the National Division II Junior College Player of the Year while averaging 24.9 points per game and leading his team to a 35-1 record and a JUCO national title.
Griffin, a 6'4" guard/forward, comes to FPU from NCAA Division I Toledo, where he led the team in scoring, assists and steals as a sophomore before transferring following a coaching change.
FPU beat out virtually every top NCAA Division II and NAIA program in the country to land Taylor, who scored 40 or more points three times this season and was the #6-ranked overall prospect in the talent-rich state of Illinois coming out of high school.
"John is a special talent that has won big everywhere he has been," said Wright. "He has unbelievable tools that make him a legitimate NBA prospect. He possesses unlimited shooting range, great quickness and ball handling ability, and can get to the rim and finish with ease. As good of a player as he is, I think the thing that makes him special is desire to win. He has all of the intangibles and ability to play at the highest of levels."
Griffin, meanwhile, started 28 games for Toledo in 2010-11 and led the team in scoring, assists and steals. He had a season-high 31 points against Northern Illinois and scored in double figures against two ranked opponents, #13 Illinois and #22 Temple. He also started as a freshman, averaging 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
"Malcolm is a very talented and versatile player that can play the 1, 2, 3 and 4 positions," said Wright. "His ability to make plays coupled with his outstanding basketball IQ make him a truly special player at our level. The thing I like most about him is that he is extremely unselfish and is a winner. You will also not find a more likeable and pleasant person to be around on a daily basis."
Wright applauded the work of his coaching staff, including newly hired assistant coach/recruiting coordinator Dexter Young, who joins the Sunbirds from NCAA Division I Chicago State. Young, a former player of previous FPU head coach Jim Saia, coached Griffin when he was in high school.
"Coach Young is a big-time recruiter that has extensive ties to the Chicago area and the entire Midwest," said Wright. "His hire will pay great dividends in helping our program compete nationally at the NCAA Division II level. We are extremely fortunate to get a person of his caliber. He is a man of integrity and great character; someone that will have a positive impact on the young men in our program."
Taylor and Griffin will look to take the Sunbirds back to where they've become accustomed to, at the top of the league standings. Last season the team entered the year with lofty expectations before suffering through the most injury-riddled season in school history to finish with a 15-16 record and the program's first losing record in five years.
The team's full recruiting class will be announced later this summer.
