Commitments seem to have slowed down a bit over the past several days, but that does not mean we have been without any whatsoever.
In fact, while the total number may be smaller, a few superb seniors did take their names off the board since our last Recruiting Notebook. One Big 12 school landed a top-40 player, while a former Big 12 school also landed itself a top-40 player.
Jonathan Williams III was the top player to commit recently, and he is a huge pickup for the Missouri Tigers. A talented 6-foot-8 power forward, Williams is ranked No. 26 in the NBE Sports Class of 2013 Post-July Top 125. The Southwind (TN) star joins the long list of highly ranked 2013 prospects headed to SEC programs.
Baylor also picked up a major pledge, garnering a verbal commitment from Ishmail Wainright. The 6-foot-5 small forward was at one point briefly committed to Missouri, but then reopened his recruitment.
Wainright is a native of the Show Me State, but he transferred to Montrose Christian (MD) for his junior year and remains that for his final year of high school. He is ranked No. 32 in the NBE Sports 2013 Top 125. The news of his commitment was first reported by Alex Kline of TheRecruitScoop.com.

Major commitments have continued to roll in over the past few days and there does not appear to be an end coming in the near future.
The biggest commitment to come down since Monday's Recruiting Notebook was that of Karviar Shepherd. Not only is Shepherd a high-level prospect, but he has a chance to be somewhat a program changer at his future institution.
Shepherd, a 6-foot-9 center out of Prime Prep (TX), ended his recruitment by pledging to in-state TCU, according to ESPN.com's Reggie Rankin. The Horned Frogs are entering their first year in a BCS conference and are also under a first year head coach. However, Trent Johnson now has himself a player to build around in the Big 12, as Shepherd is ranked No. 14 in the NBE Sports Class of 2013 Post-July Top 125.
Shepherd showed at that 2012 Adidas Invitational last July his ability to score with both hands, make great passes from the post and refined footwork that most college big men would be jealous of. Shepherd also protects the rim and rebounds both ends of the floor at an elite level. NBE's National Recruiting Analyst also wrote that Shepherd has the potential to be a dominant low post scorer at the college level after watching him perform in Indianapolis to kick off the July evaluation periods.

Mernagh: Mizzou Gets Wes Clark to Pop…With a Little Help From a New Addition
August 30, 2012 by NBE Blogger · Leave a Comment
Wes Clark became a top 100 guard the old fashioned way — through extremely hard work and an attention to detail when it came to honing his craft.
Defensively, Clark will sit down and get into his man like few other guards with his accolades.
The perimeter star comes from two highly successful programs out of the Detroit area — The Family is his Grassroots/AAU squad while Romulus High is the jersey he represented during his high school season (Terry Mills, Grant Long and John Long are three of many Romulus studs to light up scoreboards throughout the years).
Missouri had a pipeline back in the day with Michigan prep players, but a recent hire by head man Frank Haith may have reignited and brightened a path that's been somewhat dim for a number of years. Wes Clark was on Missouri's radar for sure, but when Haith hired Rick Carter as an assistant from Western Michigan on August 14th, the pursuit of Clark was taken to another level. Carter is a bulldog, a grinder in the classic basketball/gym rat/junkie sense.
Like so many assistants at the mid major level, all he ever needed or was looking for, was a chance at the highest level (no Rob Murphy, not the NBA, the SEC or any other high major league). But first he had to pay his dues and, as things always seem to go in the basketball world, also have a little luck with who he ran into along the way. The assistant got his start on the Michigan AAU scene with the Mustangs before moving on to Michigan State in a managerial role for Tom Izzo (I remember seeing him constantly around Izzo when I was writing a book back in the day). He parlayed that into an Operations job at Fairfield for a year before becoming an assistant in his second season in the MAAC under Ed Cooley. Carter left Fairfield after two years to study under veteran coach Steve Hawkins at Western Michigan. Hawkins is a guy who in recent years has had assistants hired away by the programs at Michigan, Iowa State, Alabama, NC State and now Missouri. And relationships definitely played a role in Carter's break.
One of the friendships Carter developed while at Fairfield was with Tim Fuller. When Ryan Miller left Mizzou suddenly to take a huge promotion at Auburn about a month ago, I imagine Fuller was in Haith's ear about Carter, and the prospects the 33-year-old assistant might be able to get the Tigers "in" with rather quickly. Carter is a hard worker in the scouting and coaching department as well, but he's also known Romulus coach Nate Oats for 12 years, and that had to be a plus (not to mention the talent coming up in Michigan over the next few years).
I tweeted about Carter's addition at Missouri on August 8th.
He was officially hired on August 14th.
Wes Clark committed to Missouri on August 29th.
Carter finally got his chance — in the SEC — and in his first turn at bat hit a monster rope off the center field wall.
Haith and company now have their heir apparent to Phil Pressey at point guard… thanks to a nice assist from their new addition.

With stops during the month of July at the Hoop Group Elite Camp, Adidas Invitational, Nike Peach Jam, Nike Invitational and Live in AC…NBE's National Recruiting Analyst Brian Bosworth is ready to release his Class of 2013 National Top 125. The list has exanded from the Pre-July Period Top 75 and also includes a new #1 player in the class.
The Class of 2013 certainly flexed their muscles on the camp and AAU circuit all July. The class is widely regarded as one of the best in recent memory with a deep pool of talent, especially near the top.
Read on below to see the current rankings as we begin to prepare for the 2012-2013 prep and high school season which will be here before we know it!

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Friday was a day at 11th Grade AAU Nationals where NBE Sports watched a number of games from outside the Gold pools. This allowed us to see some teams that might not be as nationally known and catch some players who might be flying under the radar a bit. However, we did check out some Gold games too and some of our top performers come from those squads too.
Trevin Joseph gets the nod as the top performer of the day on Friday, though several players could put together a nice case for the honor. Joseph is the second straight 2013 shooting guard from Georgia to get the nod, following Ryan Wilkins on Thursday. Joseph is a 6'3 rising senior from Stockbridge (GA) who runs with Gold Coast and is part of a deep, talented backcourt. Joseph showed off some major scoring ability in the night's final game and it was rare to see him actually miss a shot. A strong player with a very good build, Joseph s a knockdown 3-point shooter and is lethal off the catch. He is a smooth player and is his stroke looks quite good. Joseph is also adept at getting to the basket and he finishes once there. Overall, he is a talented offensive player who could be a stud scorer at the next level.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The 2012 11th Grade AAU Nationals tournament continued rolling along yesterday, and NBE Sports was there yet again to take in the action. Check out our rundown of the day's action below and see which Big East school's head coach saw two of his commits turn in impressive performances. Also, learn which under-the-radar prospects impressed on the second day of the tournament.
Ryan Wilkins gets the nod as Thursday's top performer over several worthy candidates, including one of his SEC-bound teammates. A 6'2 shooting guard out of Effingham County (GA), Wilkins is a smooth player in the backcourt whose game you almost have to love. A class of 2013 prospect who is now playing with the South Georgia Kings, Wilkins dropped in 20 points in the game we watched. He knocked down four shots from long range, but he is by no means just a long range marksman. Wilkins is quite capable of getting to the basket off the dribble and can utilize his quality crossover to help him do so. He possesses solid leaping ability and showed he will take a charge at the defensive end. Wilkins has just one scholarship offer at this point, but that needs to change. Low-major to mid-major programs should be all over Wilkins, who can flat out produce.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The third and final Live Evaluation Period of July got underway on Wednesday and NBE Sports was present at the ESPN Wide World of Sports for the 11th Grade AAU Nationals. Although due to the new July format there are not quite as many talented teams in action, there are still numerous quality squads in the event. There were several players who stood out on the first day of the tournament.
Derrick Griffin is an absolutely elite level athlete with truly incredible leaping ability. A 6'6 power forward from Terry (TX), Griffin is a 2013 prospect who has committed to Texas A&M as a football player. A member of the Houston Defenders, Griffin put on an absolute show in the squad's nationally televised game on Wednesday night. He as a great body, pretty good length and is both strong and powerful. He threw down a number of very impressive, crowd pleasing dunks and also swatted shots at the other end of the floor. Griffin rebounds the ball well and is an effective interior presence despite his relative lack of height. He is an exciting player to watch and he will have a nice career on the hardwood in the SEC if he plays both sports.

Friday night at the Peach Jam is a session I will never forget. It featured a game between CIA Bounce and the Texas Titans that will be talked about in recruiting circles a decade from now as the nation's best player made it clear he has no equal in high school basketball.
Top Performer of the Night:
Andrew Wiggins (CIA Bounce 2014) – Wiggins didn't just have the best performance of the night or the best performance of the tournament, but rather had arguably the best single performance I've ever seen in an AAU game. Matched up head to head with one of 2013's best in Julius Randle, Wiggins ended any lingering debate over who is the top prospect regardless of class. He finished with 28 points and 13 rebounds but those numbers don't even do justice to the greatness that he showed. Wiggins is the freakiest of freak athletes consistently making plays above the rim that leave scouts who have been doing this 20+ years with their jaws on the floor. His CIA team was down double digits at the half and Wiggins came out after intermission with a focus and determination to change that. It took about two minutes for the standing room only crowd to realize what was happening and they soon exploded with every play Wiggins made. He attacked Randle time and again finishing outrageous play after outrageous play. Words and numbers don't even do justice to the greatness that Wiggins showed on Friday night as he just operates on a different level from everyone else on the court. I said it during the end of the game and I'll stand by it here; I believe Andrew Wiggins will become the best player in the NBA before his playing career is over. He is an unstoppable offensive force.

Friday afternoon in North Augusta brought 16U pool play at the Peach Jam along with a quick stop at the Nike Invitational. Here's who managed to standout while NBE was watching.
Top Performer of the Afternoon:
Obi Enechionyia (Team Takeover 2014) – At 6'8", the athletic forward showed off both an inside and outside scoring package. He flashed major bounce around the rim with a few ferocious dunks along with swatting away countless attempts at his own basket. While his work in the paint alone would have made Enechionyia a very intriguing prospect, he was also able to step out and make jump shots past the college 3-point line. The combination of owning the paint and being able to draw big men away from the rim by spacing the floor make it easy to project Enechionyia at the high major level for his college future. He needs to continue refining his ball handling and overall skill package and frankly could end up playing on the wing if his skills improve quickly enough.

Thursday evening brought more 17U EYBL action to North Augusta with star players on every court in the facility. NBE had the chance to see its share of the action and here is who stood out to us.
Top Performer of the Night:
Moses Kingsley (Arkansas Wings 2013) – While already a well known name nationally, Kingsley outperformed his reputation in a victory over Cal Supreme. The 6'9" center was an absolute monster on the backboard and protecting the rim. Credited with 11 rebounds and 3 blocked shots, my eyes tell me that both of those numbers are a little bit low. In a game featuring highly touted big men like Marcus Lee, Torren Jones, and his teammate Bobby Portis, Kingsley was unquestionably the best big on the court. His defense has remained consistent but offensively is where he has really taken strides since the April live period. Kingsley was able to finish through contact, flashed good footwork on the block, and even showed a developing off the dribble game. If his offense is ever able to catch up to his prowess on the defensive end, Kingsley could challenge for top center in the 2013 class.

Mequon, WI – The second July "live period" kicked off on Wednesday night and NBE Sports joined coaching staffs from numerous college programs at Homestead High School near Milwaukee to scout the prospects at the NY2LA Under Armour Summer Jam. Here is a rundown from Thursday's long day of action…
Top Performance
T.J. Haws, Nick Emery and Eric Mika (Utah Reign) – Just had to go with this trio because they play like they are one. T.J. Haws has a little flash and flare to his game and is great ball handler that can shoot from distance but focuses on driving to the hoop. Emery is lethal from anywhere in the gym. He is not limited to being a catch and shoot player, he can take you off the bounce. Mika may be on the verge of becoming a household name (More on Mika below). They all three will be making noise at BYU in a few years.

After a fun sample of 16U action on Wednesday night, the 2012 Peach Jam kicked into full gear with 17U action taking center stage on Thursday morning. While plenty of players had standout performances, a trio of wings from the Oakland Soldiers squad separated themselves from the pack.
Top Performers of the Morning:
Aaron Gordon (Oakland Soldiers 2013) – After missing a large time of time this AAU season with a foot injury, Gordon seemed determined to erase any question marks about his health moving forward. He was better than ever before making plays from the wing that weren't in his arsenal 12 months ago. Gordon flashed off the dribble skills that firmly project him as a SF going forward and make him an even more devastating player than I previously thought. In addition to his improved handle, Gordon remains the most electric finisher in high school basketball around the rim. He drew more than a few Blake Griffin comparisons after a series of ridiculous dunks in transition.

Friday at the Adidas Invitational brought pool play to a close and marked the start of playoff action. It also allowed a chance to view some of the tournaments younger talent as the 15U pools wrapped up at the main site I've been stationed at. Star performances became the norm with one Texas big man standing out as top dog on the day.
Top Performer of the Day:
Jordan Mickey (Urban DFW Elite 2013) – The 6'9" post player was unstoppable in an afternoon playoff victory dominating the paint from start to finish. Mickey has outstanding footwork on the block and can score over either shoulder with either hand. He uses spins, drop steps, and a host of other moves keeping the defense on its heels all the time with his wide array of options down low. Mickey also succeeded from the high post where his 15 foot jumper is deadly and he can use 1 dribble to attack the rim. Still a bit on the slender side, a college weight room will do wonders for Mickey's development and he projects as a go to low post scoring option within his first couple years on a high major college campus.

The Nike Global Challenge got underway on Friday at Episcopal High School in Alexandria (VA). It was the place to be of this first 5-day July evaluation period for Division 1-A basketball coaches as John Calipari, Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, Tom Izzo, Tom Crean, Jay Wright, Buzz Williams, Jamie Dixon, Oliver Purnell, Fran Dunphy, Billy Donovan, Frank Martin, Lorenzo Romar, Tubby Smith, Mark Gottfried, Scott Drew, Sean Miller, Mike Rice, Kevin Willard and more were on hand during the games NBE took in.
These coaches were on hand to watch some of the best players in the world at the youth level. There are eight teams total competing in the Nike Global Challenge with three from the United States (East, West & Midwest) and one each from Brazil, Canada, Lithuania, Puerto Rico and China.
Here are some recruiting updates from six of the US players we were able to catch up with on Friday…
Anchoring the middle for USA-East is Class of 2013, 6-foot-8 big man Beejay Anya out of DeMatha/Team Takeover DC. In the 109-70 USA win, Anya scored 12 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and blocked 4 shots in a productive 24 minutes of action. Matt Whitfield was able to spend some time getting an update on the latest in his recruitment, which many seem to believe there is one school that is clearly the one to beat for his services, but not so fast according to Anya.
"It's not the case [that Indiana] is the favorite," Anya told Matt Whitfield on Friday. "They're a school I like and I'll go out there [to visit]."
The links between Anya and Indiana are pretty strong. AAU teammate Stanford Robinson committed to the Hoosiers shortly after Tom Cream added Kenny Johnson to his staff as an assistant, hiring Johnson away from Towson. Prior to working at Towson, Johnson was a coach with Team Takeover DC working with both Robinson and Anya.
"No, I think he'll do a good job there, but it won't really affect me that much," Anya said of Johnson's presence on the IU staff influencing his decision.
Indiana is just one of the top programs Anya is currently considering.
"Louisville, Kansas, Indiana, Syracuse, Maryland, Georgetown, Connecticut, Ohio State, Villanova, Pittsburgh, St. John's, and the list goes on," said Anya.
A last minute replacement joining Anya on the USA-East squad was Austin Colbert, an athletic forward who chipped in 12 points (on 6-11 shooting) in 18 minutes of action.
Colbert, a New Jersey native, attended Hotchkiss (CT) School last season and there are some whispers that he could be headed back to the Garden State to finish up his high school career, possibly Gil St. Bernard's, but no final decision has been made at this point. As for his recruitment, five schools have put themselves currently in the best position.
"I don't have any officials planned yet," Colbert told Matt Whitfield on Friday. "Even though I narrowed it down I'm still wide open. I'm still accepting offers and trying to get as many offers as I can."
Currently he considered Florida, Baylor, Georgetown, Seton Hall and Texas as his top five with only the Longhorns yet to extend an offer at this point. Other schools are still trying to make their pitch, and it could pay off as Colbert admitted he is still willing to consider other schools.
"Illinois, Virginia and Oklahoma have texted me as of late," he said.
One could not help but notice Seton Hall, led by head coach Kevin Willard, looking very interested in Colbert's work this afternoon.
Kennedy Meeks had a strong few days last week at the Lebron James Skills Academy in Vegas, but the Team United big man struggled playing for USA-West in an 87-77 loss at the hands of USA-Midwest in his first Nike Global Challenge outing. Meeks finished with just 4 points and 5 rebounds in 20 minutes. His evening line (6 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists in 20 minutes) in a 98-69 in over Puerto Rico was much closer to the well-rounded game he showed in Sin City.
As for his recruitment, Meeks shared with NBE who is putting in the most effort with his recruitment of late.
"Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgetown, NC State [and] Louisville" was the answer when asked by Matt Whitfield who was recruiting him the hardest.
Meeks also shared that he would like to visit Indiana as one of his official visits in the fall.
Kyle Washington, who was a teammate of Colbert's this past season at Hotchkiss School, had a very impressive week last month at the NBPA Top 100 High School Camp on the campus of the University of Virginia. Between that camp and the Nike Global Challenge, Washington spent some time take a couple unofficial visits, including a trip to Notre Dame.
"It was a good visit," Washington told NBE Friday. "I needed to go and see how I would fit into the community, how I'd fit into the program. It was a good visit overall. I know how Coach Brey feels about me, how Coach Solomon feels about me so it was good."
The Minnesota native is playing things close to the vest these next few weeks, so he is holding off on naming schools that are on his list until after the live recruiting periods of July. He is enjoying the attention fromt he college coaches at his games.
"It feels great [to be watched by so many major coaches], but you just got to remain calm in what you do because that's what they like you for. The schools are great. The fans are great, but in the end it's just basketball."
Washington is teaming up with Anya and Colbert for USA-East here at the Nike Global challenge and in their lopsided win over China he contributed 9 points while collecting a game-high 13 rebounds and also adding a game-best 5 assists in his 25 minutes of action.
While a list is not coming out quite yet, Washington did confirm that "Wisconsin is still recruiting me really hard."
Kameron Williams of Baltimore Elite was the leading scorer of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League this spring and he brought his offense with him this week as well, getting off to a quick start with 20 points in 23 minutes in the win over China for USA-East.
As for his recruitment, Williams shared with Matt Whitfield that he is hoping to make an early fall decision, either in September or October, and admitted the ACC is his favorite conference. He mentioned schools such as Dayton, VCU, Virginia Tech, Miami, Providence, Rutgers, Florida State, Boston College, NC State and Marquette in the mix currently for his services.
Class of 2014 wing Theo Pinson showed off his impressive scoring touch, putting 9 points on the board in just 15 minutes of action for USA-East against China.
The youngster mentioned Louisville, North Carolina, Duke, Baylor, Florida State, Alabama, Indiana, Wake Forest, NC State, Syracuse, Seton Hall, DePaul, Tennessee, and others involved in the early process of his recruitment.
Pinson wants to work on the consistency of his jump shot and also improve defensively and on the boards to make himself a complete basketball player. He hopes that will lead to an aggressive recruitment from his favorite school growing up.
"My favorite school when I was young was Duke," he said. "They said they were going to come watch me, so we'll see."

PHILADELPHIA – Reebok restarted its July camp last year after some time off and had some pretty nice talent on display. This year, though, the Reebok Breakout Challenge has gone to a whole new level and is absolutely filled with big-time talent from coast to coast.
NBE Sports was on hand the past two days and had the opportunity to see each and every team. Several usual suspects turned in impressive performances, while some lesser known players also made names for themselves.
Aaron Harrison of Travis (TX) is the best shooting guard prospect in the country and he played like it in Philly. The 6-foot-5, class of 2013 recruit has a terrific combination of skill and athleticism that makes him extremely difficult to contain when he is on his game. While at Reebok, he was absolutely fantastic and basically scored at will. Harrison showed off a lethal stroke from long range right from the get-go, nailing six 3-pointers in the first half of the very first game of camp on Wednesday evening. He has deep range so he cannot be sagged off of too much, but if you play him too tight he is more than capable of getting to the rack off the bounce. Harrison is also adept at drawing fouls around the rim, so even if he misses down low, there is a strong chance he will still get some points for his effort.

Game play begins at camp
by Raphielle Johnson
The afternoon session of the LeBron James Skills Academy on Sunday brought about the beginning of game play at the event, with the campers splitting up into eight teams of approximately ten players each.
There were some injuries to account for, most notably 2013 forward Jermaine Lawrence spraining his ankle early in the camp and 2013 prospects Xavier Rathan-Mayes and Jarell Martin both having to deal with ankle injuries at some point in the day.
But despite those injuries there were some standouts on Sunday, with many looking better in game action than they did during the drills portion of the camp. One player who made an impact on Sunday was guard Shelton Mitchell, whose dunk over Kuran Iverson may be the play of the camp to this point.

Mernagh: SINA AND LYLES MAKE BIG CALLS
July 3, 2012 by NBE Blogger · Leave a Comment
Jaren Sina's commitment to Northwestern yesterday evening was fantastic news for Bill Carmody and his staff. Sina is a high-scoring guard who has unlimited range on his jumper and can also find people or break his defender down off the bounce. Sina has a fantastic chance to step in and assume Jon Shurna's role as the next four-year standout for the Wildcats. Sina should be a big part in what continues to be Northwestern's struggle to finally break through and earn an NCAA Tournament berth. It's apropos that Sina committed in July of 2012 because it was a hire that Carmody made in June of 2011, just about exactly a year prior to Sina's announcement, that made the commitment possible.
Fred Hill had a rough time of it at Rutgers but that didn't stop fellow Jersey guy Carmody from hiring him last summer as a full time assistant — a role that Hill excelled in for many years before getting his chance at Rutgers.
And make no mistake about it when it comes to the recruitment of Jaren Sina to Northwestern.
Fred Hill was the key.
"Freddy Hill got this done," a veteran of the New Jersey prep scene told me, saying that Hill was at a ton of Sina's games and really did a great job building on the trust and relationship that he had with both Jaren Sina and his father and coach at Gill St. Bernard's Mergin Sina.
Sina was down to Alabama and Northwestern, having dropped Seton Hall after they accepted a commitment from Aquille Carr last December. Sina will bring a New Jersey flavor to his new city of Chicago. And a lot of the credit for that can definitely go to another Jersey guy in Fred Hill.
Lyles Pops for VCU
Another big commitment came a day or two before Sina's when DeMatha guard Jairus Lyles popped for VCU and Shaka Smart. Lyles impressed us multiple times last season as a high major scoring guard with big play potential. Lyles' commitment is just a shot across the bow of anyone who thought Smart and VCU were somehow going to slow their roll as they enter the A-10 a year ahead of schedule. The Rams will compete and contend from day one in the new league. They bring back a ton from last year's successful squad, and adding Lyles, a top-100 kid in his class, shows that VCU intends to build on the plethora of talent they already have at their disposal.

Bodies were aching – just ask the body prep (message, stretching) crew – during Saturday, the final day of NBAPA Top 100 play. With a championship on the line, players wanted to compete, at all costs.
Speaking of that 'chip, the camp's Thunder team captured it, defeating the Mavericks in a thrilling final. NBE Basketball Report again has the goods of that day.
Most Impressive Performer – You heard rumblings about this guy, but many times rumblings are rife with more hyperbole than substance – there have been a number of tall players hailing from Africa that seem to fall into that category. Well, accepting the risk of being premature, Senegal's Mamadou N'Diaye appears to be the real thing.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Jordan Mickey of Grace Prep in Arlington (TX) is one of the better frontcourt prospects in the nation in the class of 2013.
A 6-foot-7, 215-pound power forward, Mickey is a long and athletic player with some major upside. It is clear that colleges agree that the Texan is a talented prospect, as he is being looked at by schools across the country.
On Friday at the NBPA Top 100 High School Basketball Camp, Mickey said he holds scholarship offers from Louisville, Ohio State, West Virginia, Providence, Kansas, Texas, Florida State, Texas A&M, and Missouri.

Oh my, wasn't Congress all in a lather back in 2012, determine to fix that tax-sucking, deficit-running, freeloading federal flood insurance program.
Not that there wasn't a lot to hate, especially for Tea Party deficit hawks, about an insurance that had fallen $28 billion dollars short of paying its own way. That was subsidizing 1.1 million of its 5.6 million policies. That, instead of charging those 1.1 million policy holders a realistic rate, based on actual risk, the program made up the shortfall by mooching off taxpayers.
Critics grumbled that the program amounted to a hand-out to the well-heeled, who prefer living near the water while forcing folks in the hinterlands to diversify the risk of dwelling in a picturesque flood zone. At least that was a prevailing argument back in 2012. The libertarian think tank R Street Institute described the National Flood Insurance Program as welfare-for-the-rich, noting that "78.8 percent of subsidized policies are in counties that rank in the top 30 percent of home values, while less than 1 percent are in counties that rank in the bottom 30 percent."
Worse, a third of the insurance payouts since Congress created the flood insurance program back in 1968 had gone to "repetitive loss" homeowners, allowing them to rebuild destroyed or damaged homes in the same vulnerable flood plains without penalty. Risk be damned. As if NFIP's goal was to subsidize future catastrophes.
Homeowners could rebuild and rebuild and rebuild again without worrying that the NFIP might jack up their rates. It was a policy that drove environmentalists to distraction, worried that the subsidized seaside flood insurance insulated Americans from the true cost of sea level rise, a major consequence of global warming.
It seemed that everybody along the political spectrum had a gripe about flood insurance. So damn near everybody in Congress bought into the fix, the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act, which would terminate subsidized rates for insurance policies in flood zones. Some 345,000 second homes, 87,000 business properties and 9,000 of those infamous "repetitive" loss properties would lose their subsidies immediately. The remaining 715,000 homeowners with subsidized policies would phase out over time — unless the properties were sold, when the new actuarial-based rates would kick in. Other insured properties might also face big hikes, based on revised flood plain maps.
It all looked so sensible on paper. So fiscally responsible. The Biggert-Waters Act of 2012 defied the notion that congressional bipartisanship was extinct, passing the House of Representatives with a 406-22 vote and the Senate with little opposition after it was tucked into a transportation bill.
Turns out that this grand united gesture toward fiscal responsibility comes with some dismal, unanticipated consequences. Policy holders are discovering that without subsidies, their insurance rates are soaring, some by thousands of dollars. Which in turn has dampened a real estate market just now emerging from the recession, with potential buyers spooked by the reconfigured cost of flood insurance.
Suddenly, the same deficit-cutting pols who were sucking up to the Tea Party back in 2012 are sounding like dewy-eyed liberals when it comes to keeping their constituents on the flood insurance dole. Even those welfare-hating, food stamp-stomping right wingers in the congressional delegations of Mississippi and Louisiana want their flood insurance hand-outs back. They love them, lately, with the same fervor Old South fiscal conservatives harbor for cotton, rice, soybean, tobacco and sugar subsidies.
A bill designed to postpone the effects of Biggest-Waters for at least four years, sponsored by a Democrat from New Jersey and a Republican from Georgia, is set for a Senate vote this week and will almost certainly pass.
In Florida, Sen. Bill Nelson and one-time Tea Party darling Marco Rubio, both said they'll support the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act. "I'll vote for this bill and I'll support it because it's important to prevent these rate increases from going forward," Rubio told reporters.
Getting the new bill through the House of Representatives, like anything else considered by that dysfunctional institution, will be tougher. But Republican U.S. reps from coastal states having been catching hell from constituents, some of whom face 500 percent or 600 percent or more jumps their rates. "It's out of control," complained U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, the Longboat Key Republican who heads the Florida congressional delegation. "We're taking lot of heat. A lot of people are worried about losing their homes."
It seems this particular variety of fiscal conservatism isn't nearly as much fun as cutting welfare or food stamps or unemployment payments. Plenty of working class Floridians face huge spikes in their premiums but what's important here, as the libertarians at the R Street Institute noted, is that the program disproportionately subsidizes the coastal homes of the wealthy. When rich folks squeal, pols in Washington tend to listen.
So we had the odd scenario in November when the House Financial Services Committee summoned FEMA Director Craig Fugate, who's tasked with administering the flood insurance program, demanding to know why the hell he was enforcing the awful law nearly everyone in the House had supported back in 2012. Fugate warned them that gutting the Biggert-Waters would have consequences. "The moral hazard of subsidizing risk is, we're going to rebuild right where we were, just the way it was, and we're going to get wiped out."
But the moral hazard is not nearly as frightening as the political hazard engendered by Biggert-Waters.
No state's getting mauled more than Florida, with 268,500 subsidized policy holders living in harm's way. Gov. Rick Scott, another Florida politician suddenly forgetful of his Tea Party credentials, wrote to his good buddy President Obama on Jan. 15, asking the prez to undo the 2012 law by executive order.
To be fair, Floridians, despite all those subsidized policies, have paid considerably more into the flood insurance program over the years than they've collected. We've paid about $3.60 for $1 we've gotten back. It ain't our deficit.
Meanwhile, Mississippians, who tend to elect the most strident opponents of federal "hand-outs," (except for those nice crop support payments) have sucked $5 out of the program for every dollar paid in. Louisiana, another anti-federal bastion, has collected $3 for every dollar paid. Paying off claims from those two states after Hurricane Katrina accounted for $17 billion of the program's $28 billion deficit.
Of course, actuaries would remind Floridians, as we dangle perilously over hurricane alley, that insurance rates are based on long-term risks, not short-term history.
The best argument in favor of subsidized flood insurance has to do with plain old fairness. Most of the 268,500 properties plopped down on Florida's flood plains were built and purchased and sold and repurchased exactly because the feds have been covering 60 percent of the cost of flood insurance for the last 45 years. (Albeit, because of out-dated, erroneous flood-plain maps.) We built on this soggy ground with the fed's tacit approval.
Besides, Florida's basic business plan — luring tourists and retirees and foreign ex-pats and rich guys with trophy wives and Justin Bieber to reside along our sunny waterways — has been structured around the promise of low taxes and cheap living. We don't have much else going for us. Oranges and sugar cane (dependent, of course, on those sweet federal tariffs and price supports) won't sustain 20 million Floridians.
We're already struggling with the dismal math of wind storm insurance. To pile crazy-high flood insurance increases rates atop that mess . . . maybe we ought to think about this free market libertarian stuff. Sure, we want to get rid of costly federal hand-outs. Just not the ones we like.
I'm sure they'll understand why we need their financial assistance back in the American heartland, as they look out their windows and contemplate subsidized corn, corn, corn, as far as the eye can see.

The key to winning a hockey game is simple: score more GIFs than the other team. The Senators learned that the hard way in Game 4. Ottawa tripped all over itself in a 7-3 whipping at the hands of a red-hot Penguins team — and we've got the GIFs to prove it.
Early on, it looked like Ottawa was well on its way to tying the series. Milan Michalek was so relieved that Brenden Morrow wasn't playing that he scored a goal.
Meanwhile, Craig Anderson was just teasing the Penguins with scoring opportunities.
Tomas Vokoun was not nearly as impressive early. Kyle Turris was the only thing keeping this rebound from floating away into the sky.
But then the second period began, and the game's momentum completely flipped. Suddenly, the Penguins couldn't stop scoring goals.
Things only got worse in the third period. It didn't help that Sidney Crosby went into Magician Mode on Anderson.
I'm not quite sure how you're supposed to defend that one.
Or this.
Goodness gracious. Pittsburgh scored four times in the third en rout (see what I did there?) to a 7-3 win. Facing a 3-1 deficit to a dangerous Penguins team firing on all cylinders, nobody would blame Ottawa if they just did this over and over in Game 5.

Amber Paterson was 'physically destroyed' after Jamie Dack's body was found in bin in Southampton
1:15pm Monday 22nd October 2012 in Crime By Jenny Makin, Deputy News Editor
A FRIEND of Jamie Dack told how she called police to help with his murder investigation because she knew a group of people allegedly responsible and it was "eating me up inside".
Amber Paterson told how it was "physically destroying" her after piecing together what had happened that ended in the 22-year-old's body being found burnt in a bin.
Miss Paterson was at Winchester Crown Court today to give evidence in the trial of Donna Chalk, Lee Nicholls, Andrew Dwyer-Skeats and Ryan Woodmansey, who are all charged with murder.
However the 23-year-old, who was once a girlfriend of Nicholls, had been granted special dispensation to give evidence from behind a screen by the court.
In a video interview with police from Tuesday April 10, Miss Paterson described how she had been to Bevois Mews days earlier and found Jamie had been beaten and was inside a wardrobe covered in blood when she saw him.
She described to police how she was shocked and distraught and left the room, but the men involved were laughing and joking and kept going back in, ordering Jamie to do things like clean up his own blood.
She told how she felt "trapped" because she thought the group wouldn't let her leave the first floor flat in case she went to the police.
However, she managed to go to the toilet and call a taxi before making her excuses and leaving.
The following day Miss Paterson said she received numerous text messages and calls, including one from a man who was part of the group who admitted he had stabbed Jamie in the neck.
When she went silent, he began laughing and saying he was only joking, the court was told.
Miss Paterson said she learnt about the discovery of a body in bins in Empress Road when watching the news and reading about it on the Internet. But it was when she saw reporters outside the flat in Bevois Mews that she suddenly pieced it all together and realised what had happened.
Chalk, 21, and Dwyer-Skeats, 26, of Bevois Mews, Southampton; Woodmansey, 32, of no fixed address, and Nicholls, 28, of Southampton Street, Southampton, all deny murder.
Chalk also faces a further charge of perverting the course of justice - a charge admitted by the three men who say they disposed of and set fire to Jamie's body.

Let us grow in our respect for each other
The euphoria attending our 50th anniversary Independence celebrations has largely dissipated save for what lingers from our Olympic triumphs in London. In our athletes we have a lot to be euphoric about. They have demonstrated once again that with single-minded and focused devotion to the task at hand excellence can be achieved. We congratulate them not only because they have performed well, but because they have left us an enduring legacy of that true Jamaican spirit which, if properly harnessed, can really make our little country a true jewel in the world.
We have the capacity for greatness, not just in sports but in other areas as well. What I saw in the Independence celebrations combined with our Olympic victories were a people fiercely proud of being Jamaican. Despite the hiccups in the organisation of the 50th anniversary celebrations, the culminating events in the Grand Gala were executed almost flawlessly. Those who watched on television and the internet felt pride and a sense of nostalgia for a Jamaica in which they can believe and which they can help to build into the little giant among nations which she can truly become. This pride and feeling of goodwill was felt not only by those living on the Rock but decidedly by those in the diaspora. Yes, economic and other problems abound, but for a brief time in August we won a well-needed respite from worrying about the IMF, the roads to be paved and poor political governance. We abandoned ourselves in sheer joy as we saw the potential of a nation wrapped in the mantle of sports excellence, but captured also in the resilience of the Jamaican people.
The future beckons and it is to this that we must turn our attention with fixity of purpose and determination. We must immediately seek out what economic gain we can derive from our athletic exploits in London. It is interesting that in Beijing a JLP government had the honour to be graced by the victories of our Olympians and that this time around the honour belongs to a PNP administration. It can be said without any great controversy that the JLP largely dropped the ball in Beijing in not harnessing the triumph of our athletes for economic gain. We will see if the PNP will do the same this time around. The country could not have got a greater advertisement than we did at the Olympics. There is great room for advantages to be derived in the sport industry and tourism. The international curiosity of people as to why there can be this athletic prowess from a country with 2.7 million people is remarkable at this time. We must exploit this curiosity in getting people to come here and to share in our legendary hospitality. We have nearly perfected athletics to an art form, and Jamaica can become a laboratory to the world for training, consultancy and other allied activities that can reap rich dividends for the country. A wise government would have looked at these things long before the Olympics and positioned itself for what has unfolded in London.
As the future beckons there is one indispensable component that we have to recapture in our national life, if true progress is to be secured. This has to do with respect and compassion for one another. This may sound trite to some people, but I believe this to be even more important than any agreement we may secure with the IMF or any investment that the Chinese may pour into Jamaica. We see respect and togetherness when our athletes perform well on the world stage or when a national disaster threatens. But what we should hope for is not an intermittent demonstration of respect for one another, but one which becomes deeply ingrained in the psyche of our people and which defines our interactions with each other. For example, I speak of the respect that the politicians should have for their constituents in which the constituents are not seen as objects of exploitation to satisfy political ends, but as human beings with real needs that ought to be attended to on a non-partisan basis. I dream of the kind of respect that business owners should have for their employees as indispensable components of their companies' success and not as mere appendages to capital or cogs in a machine. A business that operates on a philosophy of a fundamental respect for people does not have to wait for minimum wage legislation to realise that the worker ought to be paid a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.
Respectability is not gained by those who would want to flaunt their wealth in the faces of people; who believe they have arrived because they can drive the newest "bimmer" on the pot-holed streets of our country - a contradiction if there ever was one! Neither is it gained by being boorish or by having an inflated sense of one's academic achievements which should set one on a higher rung than others. I have seen my fair share of intellectual giants who turn out to be no more than social dwarfs in their relationship with people. Respect will flow as you give it and will be staunched as you hoard it. We are yet to appreciate the correlation between economic progress and the fundamental regard or respect that we ought to show to each other. I hope that as we move toward the 100th year of our Independence this will become more evident in our national life.

SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Department of Transportation has kicked off an annual program designed to help save lives.
The "Yellow Dot" program provides first responders with vital information like allergies, medications, and pre-existing condition. The information helps EMTs provide the best possible care when they arrive at the scene of an accident.
"It can mean the difference between life and death because Yellow Dot gives first responders the information they need on the scene to treat a crash victim properly," said John Webber, the Interim Director of IDOT.

Things are getting hairy out at The University of Queensland Gatton Campus, with a number of male staff and students taking part in Movember for the fourth year in a row to raise awareness for men's health.
First year Veterinary Science student Mark Owens is taking part and he recognises the importance of the event.
"One in six men will be affected by Prostate Cancer in their lifetime while untreated depression can lead to suicide so it is essential to raise awareness about these issues," Mr Owens said.
"Movember reminds the public about the importance of looking out for your mates, looking after your health and getting regular check ups.
"The great thing about Movember is it raises awareness in a fun, social way."
The students and staff, along with hundreds of thousands of men around the globe, are growing moustaches in an effort to raise awareness and funds for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and mental health.
The other aspect of Movember is the unofficial competition between participants to grow the best moustache.
Mr Owens started sprouting his moustache back in October in an attempt to gain a head start coming into Movember.
"The past couple of years I have seen a few moustaches that really stood out," Mr Owens said.
"This year I wanted to be the stand out so starting early was the best option."
Since 2004 there have been more than 1.9 million registered MoBro's and MoSista's, collectively raising 302 million Australian dollars for men's health.
The Movember Foundation Charity, a not-for-profit organisation that manages the event, raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Fund of Australia and Beyond Blue. To donate to the UQ Gatton team you can visit their online Mo Space at http://au.movember.com/team/609649.

Cumbrian knife attack bully jailed without limit
Last updated at 11:28, Thursday, 23 February 2012
An obsessive bully who repeatedly stabbed his ex-partner in a "murderous" attack was yesterday jailed indefinitely after judges rejected his original 17-year sentence as being too lenient.
David Heslop, 37, plunged a carving knife into Emma Wilson six times as their young son played nearby in their Cleator Moor home.
She only survived her injuries, which included punctures to her lung, stomach, and diaphragm, thanks to the prompt intervention of police and paramedics.
Heslop claimed he did not want to kill the 29-year-old but a jury convicted him of attempted murder.
In November last year, he was jailed for 17 years at Carlisle Crown Court. But that sentence, which would have allowed Heslop's release on licence within eight years, was judged to be not tough enough by the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve QC, who referred the case to London Criminal Appeal Court.
After reviewing the evidence, Lady Justice Hallett, Mr Justice McCombe and Mr Justice Singh yesterday imposed an indefinite jail sentence for pubic protection.
An indefinite sentence is generally regarded as almost identical to a life term.
Heslop must now serve a minimum of 14 years before he can even apply for parole, which will only be granted if the authorities are convinced he is safe to release.
Miss Wilson, of Robert Owen Avenue, Cleator Moor, welcomed the tougher sentence, saying it meant she could get on with her life.
Speaking yesterday, she said: "I found out about it an hour ago when the police called to tell me.
"I'm absolutely chuffed.
"It means a lot to me and especially it means something for all the other people who suffer domestic violence. There is finally justice.
"I now feel that I have got a future and I can definitely get on with my life. David Heslop has got what he deserves."
Miss Wilson, who spent three days in intensive care after the attack, said she was considerably helped by police officers Detective Sergeant Duncan Brooker and Detective Constable Ruth Greenhow and she now hopes to work as a volunteer with other victims of domestic violence.
The Appeal Court heard how Heslop had gone to Miss Wilson's home on December 16, 2010, and then used a 7in carving knife to stab her as their son played in a nearby room.
At the time, a restraining order was in place, in theory preventing him from even approaching her.
Despite the frenzied attack, and her serious injuries, she was able to activate a domestic violence alarm installed in her home by police.
Lady Justice Hallett yesterday said Heslop had "intended to kill" his victim, and that only the swift response of the police to her distress call had saved her life.
She said of Heslop: "As a child, he was a thug and bully and he continues to be a particularly aggressive and violent adult."
"The facts speak for themselves – the man is dangerous. Nothing but an indefinite sentence will give Miss Wilson or the public the protection they deserve."He intended to kill her in her own home and took a knife with him for that very purpose. It was a murderous attack by a man totally out of control in her own home and with her child with her."
Heslop, formerly of Piper's Court, Whitehaven, had refused to accept his relationship with Miss Wilson was over and just days before the knife attack he had threatened to kill her or her new partner if she ever found one.
Stuart Pattinson, Senior Crown Prosecutor with the CPS in Cumbria, explained why the CPS had brought the case to the attention of the Attorney General.
"David Heslop is clearly a very dangerous man," said Mr Pattinson.
"He carried out a horrifying assault on Emma Wilson, inflicting terrible injuries upon her.
"He carried out a pre-meditated attack with a knife whilst children were in the house.
"We took the view that David Heslop presented a very serious risk to the public.
"The increased sentence that has now been imposed means that David Heslop will remain in prison indefinitely to protect the public and will not be eligible to apply for parole for at least 14 years.
"He will remain in prison for as long as he is considered to be dangerous."
He was grateful the Attorney General and the Court of Appeal gave such close attention to the case.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- A bloody fight in a northwest Rochester apartment building led to two arrests after the safety of Rochester police officers was put in jeopardy.
Rochester police were called to an apartment on the 1900 block of 18-and-a-half Avenue in northwest Rochester just before 3 a.m. Tuesday. When they arrived, they found blood all over the floor and in the hallway.
Police arrested 26-year-old Joshua Carlson and 23-year-old Elizabeth Branham, both of Rochester, after we're told they lunged at officers.
Police say it started with a fist fight between Carlson and another man. The other man involved had fled the scene when officers arrived, leaving the trail of blood behind.
Carlson was still at the apartment and police say he was intoxicated. Police also say Carlson was tazered by a responding officer after he tried to punch the officer, and knocked his glasses to the ground.
When Carlson was tazered, officers say that's when Branham tried to grab the officer.
Police say both Carlson and Branham were both taken into custody and are facing multiple charges.

What to read next?
My friends often ask me where I find ideas on what to read next. In addition to just wandering around bookstores and libraries, there are several Web site I go to for book news. I signed up for several publishing industry newsletters a couple of years ago but one of the best I've found is the beautifully designed and cutting edge Flavorpill Boldtype monthly review. I have gotten great recommendations from salon.com and they recently compiled a best of 2007 list. NPR is always on top of what is interesting and intelligent and for me, Oprah Winfrey's selections are alway right up my alley. Where do you find great ideas?
some of the best books i have read have been from the dollar store for anywhere from $1 to $5
I've never thought to look at the dollar store for books. The best deals are usually at the used bookstores where I've picked up paperbacks for under $5. I like Southland in Maryville and McKay in Knoxville.

Big Changes to IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) for FBAR Non-Filers
Massive change is coming to the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP). These changes will affect different groups of taxpayers differently, and it will be at least a few days before tax attorneys have had an opportunity to make sense of it all. One group of FBAR non-filers that have a very short time frame to get into OVDP is those individuals who have offshore bank accounts with a foreign financial institution which has been publicly identified as being under investigation, or is cooperating with a government investigation. The same goes for taxpayers who worked with a "facilitator" who helped the taxpayer establish or maintain an offshore arrangement if the facilitator has been publicly identified as being under investigation or as cooperating with a government investigation.
Those individuals have until August 3, 2014 to enter the OVDP. If they do not enter the OVDP by that date then they will still be eligible to enter the OVDP, but they will be subject to a 50 percent offshore penalty rather than the existing 27.5 percent penalty. Of course if the IRS already has a particular taxpayer's name, then that person will not be eligible to enter the OVDP, and could be subject to multiple FBAR penalties.
The IRS has published a list of those foreign financial institutions or facilitators. The complete list is as follows:
2. Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse Fides, and Clariden Leu Ltd.
3. Wegelin & Co.
4. Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG
5. Zurcher Kantonalbank
6. swisspartners
7. CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited, its predecessors, subsidiaries, and affiliates
8. Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company, and Stanford Trust Company, Ltd.
9. HSBC India
10. The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited (also known as Butterfield Bank and Bank of Butterfield).
Of course, the IRS may add names to that list at any time, and whole groups of taxpayers will then be cut-off from OVDP without prior notice.
For those taxpayers whose conduct was non-willful, however, they may be able to escape with only a one-time five percent offshore penalty, or perhaps no penalty. The IRS has greatly expanded its streamlined procedures, and created two streamlined programs for those taxpayers whose conduct was non-willful. One is for non-resident persons; the other is for U.S. residents. Qualifying non-residents will not pay any penalty. Qualifying residents will pay a five percent offshore penalty. This penalty will be assessed on the highest aggregate balance/value of the taxpayer's foreign financial assets, generally over the previous six years. The IRS will not assess any FBAR penalties, nor will it assess a 20 percent accuracy penalty under IRC Section 6661.
In order to be eligible, taxpayers must certify under penalty of perjury that the failure to report all income, pay all tax, and submit all required information returns, including FBARs, was due to non-willful conduct. Non-willful conduct is defined by the IRS as conduct that is due to negligence, inadvertence, or mistake or conduct that is the result of a good faith misunderstanding of the requirements of the law.
Taxpayers who enter the streamlined programs are not automatically subject to audit, but may be audited under existing IRS procedures. The IRS warns that if the submissions are inaccurate, taxpayers could be subject to additional liabilities, and even criminal tax prosecution. That is because taxpayers who enter the streamlined programs, unlike those who enter the OVDP, are not insulated from criminal prosecution if the IRS later determines that the failure to file FBARs was willful. The IRS points out that individuals who are concerned that their behavior may be deemed to be willful, and want assurances that they will not be criminally prosecuted or subjected to additional penalties, should enter the OVDP.
Those taxpayers who already signed closing agreements, and paid substantially greater penalties will not be able to reopen their cases and obtain refunds. On the other hand, individuals who are currently in OVDP, but who have do not have countersigned closing agreements may be eligible to enter the streamlined programs if they otherwise qualify, but are subject to additional strictures under transitional rules announced by the IRS.

She's more than words can say
8 out of 9 Found the view helpful
Jann Arden has been a favourite of mine since I was 9 years old. I have grown up listening to her music and I find her lyrics and melodies to be incredibly inspirational. She has this ability to take her personal experiences and mould them into text and song for everyone to hear. It somehow captures you and you realize that you can connect with her. If you ever go to one of her live shows, you WILL be captured by her music, her voice and her eyes. She is one of the most honest and sincere artists I have ever met. She's more than words can say...
Thanks to Amy for submitting the review.

(WMC-TV) - There is one less item on the list when it comes to what is public record in Mississippi. That is thanks to a bill signed into law by Governor Phil Bryant.
State-issued gun permits for concealed weapons and the information that comes with them are no longer available to the public.
"The idea that we would produce your name and perhaps other personal information about you is something we're going to remove," said Governor Bryant.
Gov. Bryant put his name on the legislation Monday afternoon. He says allowing the information to be public violates the privacy of gun owners.
"It seems to be an attack on honest gun owners going on across this country," said Bryant.
The bill comes after a newspaper in New York published the names and addresses of people who have concealed weapon permits. It received overwhelming support in both chambers and includes an amendment that the information be turned over only through a court order.
As the bill made its way through the capitol, opponents were concerned it could become a slippery slope in removing transparency from state government.
Gov. Bryant says that is not the case.
"We don't want criminals knowing where the guns are kept, who has them, and where their home is and secondly, I think it puts a chilling effect on anyone that might want to go and get a concealed carry permit, thereby violating their second amendment rights to keep and bear arms," he explained.
Currently, there are two pending public record requests seeking the information the law now blocks.
The Department of Public Safety has yet to honor either one, essentially delaying the decision until the law took hold.
Governor Bryant says those types of requests are concerning and should be denied.

I've neglected this blog for a wee while – it was summer – we moved, the little one was off school, the big one had stuff for me to sort, and to be honest, there was nothing I wanted to write about.
Bit odd really, for someone who writes about rape to suggest, in what can only be called a summer of stupid when it comes to the issue, that they had nothing to say. But I didn't. It had all been said before. If summer taught me one thing, it was that we are not as evolved on the issue as certainly I had believed, and that it would appear that some folk don't as yet understand the very basics.
Anyway, the brain space I reserved for the topic I used to read 'Hitting an all time low' by Sharon Taylor (@sharongooner) rather than preach to the choir of stupid that no still really does mean no.
Sharon was drug raped. Although for many years she had partial flashbacks, she didn't fully comprehend what had happened to her until she saw her rapist by chance in a pub.
Her book describes her descent into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, her struggle to receive appropriate help from mental health services, or even basic compassion from some health professionals. How the police, hopeless at dealing with her rape, were the organisation that tried to help her during her suicide attempts.
If such a book can have a happy ending, it is that Sharon eventually, after a struggle she frankly shouldn't have to have endured, found the help she needed, and started on the road to recovery.
Anyone who in any context works with rape or mental health – police, health professionals, anyone in the CJS, should read this book. Not to feel shame for the way colleagues treated this woman, but to understand the trauma survivors can go through. Anyone outside of those professions should read it to understand what it is those 1 in 4 women who this happens to have to face.
It is a hard read, a gritty, visceral, hits you right in the gut read, but it is very much worth it. It is only available as an e-book, and is £1.53 at the mo, which supports the charity MIND.

Obesity Risk for Children Increases in SummerBy Daniel Cherry | Published 07 Jun 2012 06:09pm |
During the summer months, many children can put on weight two to three times faster than when they're in school according to a recent study. MPB's Daniel Cherry has more on a growing health problem.
More than 40 percent of children in Mississippi are overweight or obese according to the state Department of Health. Gary Huggins, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association says the problem is getting worse.
"The screen time and the computers and there's so much on TV. Those kind of activities that are so tempting to drive them away from being outside, to drive them away from physical activity. Those kinds of things really contribute as well."
Lack of activity over the summer can reverse health benefits gained over the past year. Dr. Will Sorey is Director of the Children's Clinic at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He says diabetes in children was unheard of 20 years ago, now that and other problems are prevalent.
"I have school age children that have sleep apnea because their neck is thick, they have obesity complications that mess up your airway. It's a real problem. It used to just be old man disease, now it cuts across males and females, young and old."
Along with exercise, nutrition is a major factor. Becky Bounds, Assistant Child Nutrition Director for the Mississippi Department of Education, says the state gives out about thirty thousand meals a day to children in low-income areas.
"There are no sodas around. There are no candy bars or fast food type items. All of the food that we serve the students are what we consider, nutrient dense."
Studies say six of every seven children relying on school lunch programs don't have access to healthy meals over the summer.

We've talked about the UFC's foreign adventures this week, discussing mostly Lorenzo Fertitta's plan to bring the UFC to Asia and into mainland Europe. It's an exciting time to be a fan of MMA-this decade we could be looking at hundreds of fight shows taking place every year all over the world. But before getting worked up, it's important to remember the lessons learned from Pride, the UFC's first major Asian entanglement.
Last weekend, in case anyone had any wild pipe dreams, Fertitta killed the Japanese promotion. The UFC's owner put a stake in the heart of any potential Pride comeback:
Originally, when we bought Pride, we were going to keep it running. In fact there was an event scheduled and we were going to try to pull it together. The deal got hung up and we had to cancel that event. One thing led to another and it didn't make sense to keep going...you never say never, but right now we don't have any plans to bring back Pride. It's a cool brand and we are selling a lot of the merchandise. But one of the things we've found is that it's hard to rebuild that momentum.
Josh Barnett blamed the UFC's failure in Japan on a cultural divide. MMA fans in Japan already had a product they were comfortable with. They wanted Pride, not a UFC event with merely cosmetic changes and a different logo:
"The Japanese had no interest in it after Dana White said they were going to make changes to the regulations to make it like the UFC," Barnett explained. "Basically, everyone told me, `That's it, we don't want this. We won't support this. Pride Worldwide is basically just UFC in Japan, so we don't want anything to do with it.'"
This is what concerns me about the UFC's efforts in China and Germany. The UFC can promote successfully in a variety of locales, but they will have to make concessions to local style and custom. A cookie cutter approach won't work. The lessons of Pride loom over all future expansion efforts. Has Zuffa learned them?
