Military Recruiting:
New Initiatives Could Improve Criminal History Screening
NSIAD-99-53: Published: Feb 23, 1999. Publicly Released: Feb 23, 1999.

(202) 512-5559
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) processes for investigating military enlistees' criminal history, focusing on: (1) the extent to which relevant criminal history information on potential enlistees is available to the military services; and (2) federal government initiatives that could improve the process of obtaining criminal history information.
GAO noted that: (1) the military services have extensive policies and procedures for encouraging applicants to self-report criminal history information; (2) among other things, the services repeatedly query each applicant, providing as many as 14 opportunities to disclose any criminal offenses to as many as seven different service and military entrance processing station officials; (3) the services also conduct periodic inspections and investigations to ensure the integrity of the entire recruiting process, which includes the disclosure of disqualifying information; (4) the services, however, are not always able to obtain or substantiate all available criminal history information because of service policies and federal, state, and local laws and policies that sometimes preclude access; (5) the services do not use fingerprints to substantiate the majority of enlistees' criminal histories; (6) without full fingerprint searches, the services cannot detect undisclosed aliases and ensure that they are aware of all available criminal history information; (7) federal law and state and local laws and policies, which generally limit or prohibit disclosure of criminal history information, impede the recruiting community's access to certain criminal history information; (8) in addition, state and local governments sometimes charge fees or require fingerprints to release the information; (9) available criminal history databases (not controlled by DOD) are incomplete; (10) of further concern is the services' practice of sending enlistees to basic training before the results of criminal record checks are received; (11) this practice results in training costs that could be avoided; (12) several DOD and Department of Justice initiatives are underway that could improve the access of obtaining criminal history information; (13) these initiatives have the potential of making available to DOD and the services more complete information upon which to make moral waiver decisions and expedite the process for obtaining record checks; and (14) however, DOD and the services have not yet formulated a coordinated approach for using these initiatives to better ensure that the military does not enlist and train individuals with undesirable backgrounds.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) has developed a draft strategic plan that incorporates these and other initiatives to address personnel security functions overall. The Electronic Personnel Security Questionnaire and automated fingerprints are being used by the Recruiting Command. Also, the expanded security clearance background requirements have been implemented with two of the services having the investigations conducted for all recruits so that they are able to go directly into positions requiring clearances.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should develop and monitor a DOD-wide plan to use the initiatives cited in this report. Such a plan should, at a minimum, incorporate the benefits of using the Defense Security Service's Electronic Personnel Security Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. Additionally, the plan should address the integration of these two initiatives with the expanded security clearance background investigation requirements contained in Executive Order 12968. The plan should also include specific timeframes and budget requirements for implementation.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The automated fingerprint scanners that are needed for accomplishing full fingerprint searches have been installed in all 65 military entrance processing stations. This has facilitated obtaining full fingerprint searches in a timely manner.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should require all national agency checks for enlistment into the military services to be based on a full fingerprint search to: (1) reduce the risks associated with enlisting individuals who have been convicted of more serious misdemeanors and felonies; and (2) identify individuals who have used aliases.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD now uses digitized fingerprint checks for enlisted recruits, which helps to expedite checking criminal history information. Also, the Defense Security Service has taken steps to improve its timeliness in processing background checks. With these processes in place, DOD is committed to ensuring that the services do not send recruits to units without first having all available criminal history information.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the services, after the initiatives available in 1999 are in use, to end their practices of sending enlistees to training and to first-duty stations without having all available criminal history information.

Canucks' top pick Jake Virtanen breaks news of his own signing on Twitter
PHILADELPHIA, PA - JUNE 27: Jake Virtanen is selected sixth overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the 2014 NHL Draft at the Wells Fargo Center on June 27, 2014 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images) ORG XMIT: 486532375

If he doesn't make it in the NHL, Jake Virtanen may have a future in journalism.
Virtanen, selected sixth overall in the first round of this summer's draft by the Vancouver Canucks, broke the news of his own signing Friday when he sent out a tweet saying: "Such an honour to sign with the Vancouver Canucks! I'd like to thank everybody who's helped me get to this point especially my family."
The 17-year-old Abbotsford native signed a three-year entry-level deal believed to be worth $925,000 a season.
Virtanen scored 45 goals and had 71 points in 71 games with the WHL's Calgary Hitmen last season. Virtanen, a right-winger, had surgery in May to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and hopes to be ready to play this fall.
Virtanen's signing follows that of Vancouver's other first-round pick, Jared McCann, who went 24th overall.
McCann, a centre whose signing was announced on Thursday by the Canucks, had 27 goals and 62 points in 64 games last season with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL.

main index
Proud Warrior Race Guy, the kind of barbarian to wear a Beard of Barbarism and Barbarian Longhair, and the Braids, Beads and Buckskins Native American or his Fantasy Counterpart Culture equivalent. In such cultures, a man's hair, and often its elaborate presentation, is a matter of pride, and may even be treated as an integral part of his masculinity, with the braiding of a boy's hair being part of the rite of passage between boyhood to manhood, or being properly blooded as a warrior. In some cultures the number, style and/or pattern of braids might signify rank, number of kills or children, or something else. Cutting a warrior's braids off is a symbolic castration, done to humiliate a prisoner one has no respect for or to signify casting the shorn one from the brotherhood of warriors, for crimes or lack of honor. Cutting one's own braids off signifies rejection of warrior-hood, either giving up the sword or a symbol of abandoning the rules of honor, for instance after one has sworn revenge by any means necessary. A related important hairstyle was the Samurai style in feudal Japan, with the top-knot only permitted to their caste. Compare Wild Hair and Dreadlock Warrior.

Langer all set for Insperity Championship
Bernhard Langer has assured Hale Irwin that his Champions Tour record of 45 victories is safe.
Associated Press
Bernhard Langer has assured Hale Irwin that his Champions Tour record of 45 victories is safe.
Langer has won twice this season and he's the tour points leader going into the first round of the Insperity Championship at The Woodlands Country Club's TPC course Friday.
"I told him (Irwin) yesterday, we chatted a little bit," Langer said. "He said `well done and take it easy now.' I told him `your record will never be broken.'"
The way Langer has played might give Irwin cause for concern. Langer has 18 victories on the Champions Tour and has called the current season among his best starts.
Langer won the ACE Group Classic and the Greater Gwinnett Championship. He has top three finishes in five of his six individual starts. He was second in the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic and tied for second in the Allianz Championship.
"I don't have the strength and flexibility that I did 20 years ago, but I can make up for that in other areas where I'm mentally better, where I am technically better," Langer said. "I know myself better and how to play and attack certain golf shots."
The competitive fires have much to do with Langer's prominence on the senior circuit.
"I think it's just trying to get better," Langer said. "I believe I can get better. I believe my swing can improve, my short game can improve and if I can just do that by two or three or five percent, I can shave off a half-stroke or a stroke a day that would be phenomenal."
David Frost also brings a hot streak into the tournament. He won the Toshiba Classic in March and has top 10 finishes in eight of his last nine stroke-play events. Twenty-six of the top 30 money winners on last year's Champions Tour are in the field.
Tom Pernice Jr. has finished in the top three in four of his five starts and defending champion Fred Funk is back to play on one of his favorite courses.
"I've always loved this place," Funk said. "I got my first win in '92 here. I met my wife here. I have the course record here the year I won and 20 years later I win again here last year. It was a magical week last year and a magical finish.
"When they announced coming back to this golf course I thought that was such a great move for me personally because I have such a love affair with TPC course."
The tournament is being played on new greens for the first time. Course director of golf Jim Dickson said the MiniVerde greens would be more drought resistant and recover quicker than the old Champions Bermuda.
Funk expects scores to be higher because of the new greens.
"It's going to be very difficult on some of these greens," Funk said. "The way they are designed, which is what I love about this golf course, you can tuck the pins in all these little areas of the green that they have on all the holes. But now some of them are going to be impossible to get to, especially with the wind forecast that they have."

SAXOPHONIST/COMPOSER Fred Hess RELEASES 3rd BIG BAND CD AS A LEADER: "SPEAK" (ALISON RECORDS 117), ON AUGUST 6th
Big Band features John Fedchock, Ron Miles, John Gunther, Marc Sabatella, Peter Sommer, and Matt Wilson.
"Highly original! Jazz entertainment at its best! This is an excellent CD collection of what contemporary big band music is doing, and its incredibly imaginative Lee Prosser, JazzReview.com
"All too often, we get so hung up on labels that we forget to listen to the music. With composer/arranger/tenor saxophonist Fred Hess, there's no reason to ask if his big-band sound is adventurous or accessible. The simple answer is that it is both — and it doesn't take very long listening to his new CD SPEAK to discover what sophisticated, big-band fun is all about." Norman Provizer, KUVO-FM and Downbeat
As a leader, tenor saxophonist/composer Fred Hess is best known for his smaller- ensemble CDs. But the Pennsylvania native, who grew in New Jersey and lives in Colorado, has long had an interest in the big-band sound going back to the 1950s. In fact, in the early 1990s, Hess, who holds a doctorate in music composition and teaches at Metro State University in Denver, CO, was the force behind the Creative Music Works Orchestra in the Mile High City.
SPEAK is Hess's 16th CD. The core of Hess' big band consists of members of the potent quartet he launched in 2003 that included Ron Miles on trumpet, and Matt Wilson on drums. The addition of trombonist John Fedchock as guest soloist and section leader gives a sparkling boost to the musical proceedings. Consisting of 6 original compositions and a single arrangement ("Speak To Me"), this CD continues Hess' forward-looking stance, as evidenced in his previous successful big band entries, HOLD ON (Dazzle 202) and INTO THE OPEN (Alison 116).
As a composer, Hess has received considerable recognition over the years, receiving the Julius Hemphill Award from the Jazz Composers Alliance in 2000, as well as capturing the top prize at the 2006 International Jazz Composers Symposium. On the playing side, Hess, the founder of the Boulder Creative Music Ensemble, has worked and recorded with trumpeter Miles and with drummer Ginger Baker's jazz group.
The success of this venture is clear as soon as the tenor sax duo states the bop-like theme of the opening track "Blues For Bonnie Belle." On the four original tracks that follow, Hess' moves into the big-band arena with new conceptions of how a contemporary big band should sound, adding new twists to even the most familiar paths. The listener has no question about his talent for writing intricate and intelligent music that still swings – and his fluency on the tenor saxophone. Speak to Me, a praise-ballad by guitarist Tommy Walker, receives an exensive harmonic makeover, featuring Hess' saxophone in a solo beautifully framed by the surrounding orchestration. The extended and powerful tribute to saxophonist John Coltrane's music, Psalm To Hymn, closes the disc. This is big-band music that captures the heart along with an original edge that captivates the listener's mind.

Baseball hopes spring eternal - 0 Comments
I grew up a New York Yankee fan. I've only read excerpts of Terry Francona's book. I moved to Boston not knowing the difference between a short reliever and a middle man, or caring why anyone would trade Sparky Lyle for Danny Cater. And I really wasn't a Red Sox fan until Dave Roberts stole second. But I've inherited Red Sox fever from my husband and children.

Exclusive: Nicolas Winding Refn Could Be Directing the Next Bond
"I love Bond... I love him." I might have landed a pretty big scoop, if a big smile is any kind of confirmation. At the end of the Cannes Film Festival, I was invited to interview Danish writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Valhalla Rising, Drive), who was there with his divisive new film Only God Forgives. At the end of the interview (being posted soon), I asked him about a project I heard he might be involved in - the next James Bond movie. His reaction is very interesting to watch, as his body language and big smile seem to indicate he might be a top contender, however he doesn't actually say yes at all. View the clip below.

Top 5 Directors Perfect to Replace Sam Mendes on James Bond 24
Earlier today we learned that Skyfall director Sam Mendes would not be returning for James Bond 24 to continue the British secret agent franchise. While that leaves the sequel without a director, we're also still wondering whether or not this means the proposed two-part back-to-back story, written by John Logan (Skyfall), might come back into play with Mendes stepping away from what he would have wanted to be a standalone film. More importantly, we're wondering who will step up to sit in the director's chair for 007's next venture. Daniel Craig is already slated to return, so who is the best director be to keep him in action?

'Skyfall' Director Sam Mendes Will Not Be Back for James Bond 24
Last month we heard that director Sam Mendes was seriously considering a return to the James Bond franchise after his stellar installment Skyfall wowed audiences last year (it was also my favorite film of 2012). However, it sounds like the filmmaker has now had a reluctant change of heart. Empire recently spoke with Mendes and he will not be returning to direct James Bond 24. He said, "It has been a very difficult decision not to accept Michael [Wilson] and Barbara [Broccoli]'s very generous offer to direct the next Bond movie." It sounds like commitments to the theatre will keep him busy over the next year or so.

Watch Kees van Dijkhuizen's Better Tribute to 50 Years of James Bond
Let's be honest, that James Bond tribute celebrating 50 years of Agent 007 was really lame. Aside from not having any of the actors who've played the spy over the years, the montage was pretty lame, not giving much screen time to Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton. Word on the street is everyone except for Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan wanted to take part, and the producers decided it had to be everything or nothing (just like the James Bond documentary you can watch right now). But one of our favorite editors, Kees van Dijkhuizen (who delivered his final film retrospective in 2012) has paid his respects. Watch!

Rumor: Could We See the Bond Franchise Get an IMAX 3D Upgrade?
The name's IMAX, 3D IMAX. Where do they go next after blowing up the box office? James Bond's Skyfall, during the Bond franchise's 50th anniversary year, went on to earn a massive $1.1 billion at the box office worldwide. They've released all 23 films on Blu-Ray, held conventions and exhibits around the world, now what? But of course - 3D. There's a rumor originating from Bleeding Cool today (via Collider) hinting that we might just see Dr. No, the original Bond movie, in IMAX 3D sometime soon. All based on breadcrumbs found around the web, starting with the Taiwanese Blu-ray 3D re-release of the movie (cover teased above).

Director Sam Mendes Now Very Likely to Return for 'Bond 24' Next
Completing my 23-film Bond 50 set and arriving on Blu-Ray this week is one of my favorite movies of 2012, James Bond's Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes (who we interviewed last year). We're still two years out from seeing the next Bond movie (possibly late 2014) but ever since Skyfall was released in November, fans have been anxiously awaiting details on the next one, especially because this last one was so damn good. Would Chris Nolan direct? Would we finally see SPECTRE? Well, while nothing is confirmed yet, a report from Baz Bamigboye on The Daily Mail hints that Sam Mendes could be returning for more 007 after all.

Editorial: 007's 'Skyfall', 'Home Alone' and Cinematic Reference Points
It's been four long years since we've seen superspy James Bond on the big screen, but his newest outing, Skyfall, is already the most succesful Bond film of all time. The movie has certainly been well represented here at FS.net, with Alex raving about it himself, interviewing the producers, director Sam Mendes, and even Ben Whishaw (the new Q) while Jeremy gave it top marks for Bond accuracy. But could the 00 agent with a license to kill have borrowed a few tricks from a classic 1990 holiday film for its action-packed third act, or was that sequence a shout-out to a Sam Peckinpah classic? And does it even matter? Discuss below!

Must Watch: 007 Doc, 'Skyfall' Opening Credits & Sound Featurette
It's the week after Skyfall already hit theaters and dominated the box office, but the James Bond goodies keep on coming like gadgets out of Q Branch. Yesterday, we let you try your hand at guessing the James Bond alphabet, but now we have three news videos for your pleasure. One is a feature length documentary called Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007 from director Stevan Riley. It looks at the history of James Bond including the making of the now 23-film franchise that spawned from Ian Fleming's stories. In addition, we have a the opening credits to Skyfall with Adele's spellbinding theme song, and a very cool SoundWorks featurette with the sound mixing and editing crew. They're all worth watching now!

Interview: James Bond Producers Barbara Broccoli & Michael Wilson
For as long as I can remember, I've been a Bond fan. I've boasted numerous times about my VHS/DVD/Blu collection of all 22 (soon 23) films and extensive history with the series. A few weeks ago, I was honored to sit down with the two masterminds behind the 50 year old franchise - producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Barbara is the daughter of the legendary Albert R. Broccoli, known as "Cubby", who is the father of the original Bond movies starting with Dr. No in 1962. I was excited to talk with them about Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes with Daniel Craig as 007, and the status of the Bond franchise. Dive in!

Review: Sam Mendes' 'Skyfall' Earns Top Marks for Bond Accuracy
50 years. 23 movies. A franchise as rambunctious and stubborn as its lead character, the James Bond series wouldn't have lasted as long as it has without a few great movies here and there in its arsenal. Skyfall is a great movie. Not as elaborately charged or as gun-wrenchingly explosive as one might expect, it still finds a way, thanks to director Sam Mendes, to bridge a gap between old and new schools of spy film, the Sean Connery smoothness of Goldfinger with the electricity of Daniel Craig. Skyfall earns tops marks for James Bond accuracy and continues a groundbreaking, cinematic tradition with a pinpoint bullet.

Video Interview: 'Skyfall' Director Sam Mendes on Bond, James Bond
"To me, the true father of the Bond movies is Hitchcock." Bond is back, and better than ever. And the man responsible for bringing him back in one of the greatest Bond movies of the modern era is director Sam Mendes. The Oscar winning director's filmography includes American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road and Away We Go, but he finally takes the leap into action and intensity with 007. After seeing the film a few weeks ago in New York City, I had the chance to interview Mr. Mendes and discuss everything we could about Bond, James Bond and the 23rd 007 movie. "From one Bond fan to another..."

Infographic: Bond's Sex Scenes Breakdown - Who Was the Best Lover?
Look up! Look down! Look out! It's 007! Ohh, this is a good one. It's not actually an infographic, rather it's the nymphographic. On Movieline, they posted an infographic for James Bond (timed with Skyfall hitting theaters this weekend) highlighting the sex and women in Bond's
life lives. Agent 007 is known for his suave, sexy ways and ability to bed any women he wants, hence why Bond girls are always an important part of this franchise. It recaps all 75 of his "sexual encounters", film-by-film, and breaks down details on who, when and where. Unfortunately a lot end up dead after a night with Bond, but what a final experience.

News in Brief
IBM has expanded its cloud offerings for the federal government, announcing June 11 the availability of cloud data centers with SoftLayer security features.
The first center, in Dallas, will be online this month; the second center in Ashburn., Va., will come online by fall.
The SoftLayer infrastructure provides greater control and security of data for the federal government, IBM said in a statement. IBM is in the process of completing both FedRAMP and FISMA certification for the two centers.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has rolled out an app that can show the power plants and other critical energy infrastructure that could be in the path of oncoming hurricanes this summer and fall.
The DOE component unveiled the mobile app that overlays its energy mapping information on its U.S. Energy Mapping System, and its Energy Disruptions web page with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's real-time storm feeds. Users can track the status of power plant, oil refineries, major electric transmission lines and other critical energy infrastructure from their mobile devices. The agency announced the app days after the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1.
EIA's interactive Energy Disruptions webpage combines real-time data feeds from NOAA's National Hurricane Center that track storm intensity and projected paths, with more than 40 map layers that show the location of U.S. energy infrastructure.

|ESPN.com: Football
|[Print without images]
|Player (City, State/School)
|Chase Rettig (Sierra Madre, Calif./San Clemente)
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 201 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | QB rank: 11 | Watch
College: Committed to Boston College over Tennessee.
Breakdown: He is a big athlete with a big arm -- a pocket guy first with excellent athleticism to make plays with his legs when he needs to. Rettig is very well-built and strong, has a tall, thick frame and possesses one of the finest arms in 2010.
|Blake Bell (Wichita, Kan./Bishop Carroll)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 212 | ESPNU 150 rank: 64 | QB rank: 3 | Watch
College: Committed to Oklahoma over LSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Kansas and Kansas State.
Breakdown: Bell is the very definition of upside and definitely has his best football ahead of him. He has ideal measurables and is a deceptively good athlete.
|Jesse Scroggins (Lakewood, Calif./Lakewood)
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 189 | ESPNU 150 rank: 56 | QB rank: 2 | Watch
College: Committed to USC over Tennessee, Florida, Colorado, Nebraska and LSU.
Breakdown: He looks like a high school version of Jason Campbell. Scroggins has a similar build, measurables and arm strength, and the throwing mechanics are uncanny. Obviously he isn't quite as developed, but he can really hum it and possesses a powerful downfield arm. He is a pocket passer with good overall athleticism.
|Player (City, State/School)
|Michael Dyer (Little Rock, Ark./Little Rock Christian Academy)
Height: 5-9 | Weight: 200 | ESPNU 150 rank: 7 | RB rank: 1
College: Committed to Auburn over Tennessee, Ole Miss., Arkansas, Florida and Alabama.
Breakdown: Dyer is arguably 2010's best downhill, yards-after-contact runner and has the potential to carry the load at the next level. He has the compact body composition, great balance and low running base to remain sturdy and durable. His determination to finish runs and keep his legs driving through contact is amazing.
|Jordon James (Corona, Calif./Corona Senior)
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 188 | ESPNU 150 rank: 19 | RB rank: 4 | Watch
College: Committed to UCLA over Cal, Arizona, Notre Dame and Washington.
Breakdown: He displays a supreme blend of speed, in-line suddenness and deceptive power. At a recent Los Angeles Under Armour combine, James showed he was back to full health from a broken arm with 21 reps of 185 pounds on the bench, ripped off a blazing 4.41 40 and had an explosive vertical (37 inches) and broad jump (10 feet, 11 inches).
|Player (City, State/School)
|Chris Dunkley (Pahokee, Fla./Pahokee)
Height: 5-11 | Weight: 170 | ESPNU 150 rank: 12 | WR rank: 2 | Watch
College: Committed to Florida
Breakdown: He is what we call a "space" player: ultra dangerous in the open field, which is what college football is all about with the spread offense.
|Kadron Boone (Ocala, Fla./Trinity Catholic)
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 197 | ESPNU 150 rank: 96 | WR rank: 17 | Watch
College: Committed to Texas Tech over Georgia, Miami, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Breakdown: Boone is a darn good football player, not just a wide receiver. He has adequate height, but a physically imposing build and he flat-out makes plays. Is strong, physical and works to get open -- especially off the line.
|Antonio Goodwin (Atlanta/Booker T. Washington)
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 170 | ESPNU 150 rank: 24 | ATH rank: 4
College: Committed to Auburn over North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee.
Breakdown: What stands out about Goodwin is his smooth change-of-direction and ability to accelerate rapidly for his size. He has all the tools and if he gets coached up on how to set up defensive backs, the sky is the limit for him.
|Tai-ler Jones (Gainesville, Ga./Gainesville)
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 182 | ESPNU 150 rank: 74 | WR rank: 13 | Watch
College: Committed to Notre Dame over Stanford, Alabama, Auburn and Oregon.
Breakdown: Jones may be the most versatile of the group, having spent significant time on both sides of the ball. He also has kick and punt return capabilities.
|Demarco Cobbs (Tulsa, Okla./Tulsa Central)
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 200 | ESPNU 150 rank: 18 | ATH rank: 3 | Watch
College: Committed to Texas over Tennessee, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama and Georgia.
Breakdown: He may the best overall athlete of the group, with a terrific blend of speed, strength and quickness. He plays as a spread QB at the high school level, but Cobbs will end up as a wide receiver with potential to play defense as well.
|Brandon Coleman (Forestville, Md./Bishop McNamara)
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 200 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | WR rank: 138 | Watch
College: Considering Rutgers, Maryland, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and Boston College.
Breakdown: He is a mammoth prospect both as a safety and wide receiver who possesses rare measurables and good overall athleticism given his stature. He is tall, thickly built and has a wide catching radius.
|Da'Rick Rogers (Calhoun, Ga./Calhoun)
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 205 | ESPNU 150 rank: 35 | WR rank: 6
College: Committed to Georgia over Mississippi State, Florida, Alabama, Florida State and LSU.
Breakdown: He is big, knows how to use his size and displays explosive straight-line speed in the open field. He has a tremendous size/speed ratio, and he is strong with the ability to outmuscle DBs in contested matchups as well as ward off tacklers after the catch.
|Kenny Shaw (Orlando, Fla./Dr. Phillips)
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 170 | ESPNU 150 rank: 93 | WR rank: 16
College: Committed to Florida State
Breakdown: Shaw is one of the quickest and speediest players in this class of wide receivers. He is diminutive in stature, but lightning quick and reaches top speed in a hurry off the line.
|Player (City, State/School)
|Xavier Grimble (Las Vegas/Bishop Gorman)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 241 | ESPNU 150 rank: 30 | TE rank: 1 | Watch
College: Committed to USC over Oklahoma and Florida.
Breakdown: Grimble brings a very nice combination of size and ability. With good hands and a large catch radius, he has the tools to be a weapon in the passing game. Although he can help move the chains and put points on the board as a receiving target, he can also help in the run game as he is a good in-line blocker.
|Dakota Mosley (Little Rock, Ark./Little Rock Christian Academy)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 250 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | TE rank: 14
College: Committed to Auburn over Tennessee, Florida State, Tulsa and Louisiana Tech.
Breakdown: He is a legit receiving target and he has very good hands. Displays the ability to consistently catch the ball with his hands and really looks comfortable snatching the ball out of the air. Displays the ability to get good hand placement and is tough to beat when he gets locked on. He is also a very good long snapper.
|Blake Barker (Wellesley, Mass./Buckingham Browne & Nichols)
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 238 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | TE rank: 12
College: Committed to Harvard over Stanford, Boston College, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina.
Breakdown: He has ideal height for the tight end position and can be a solid target in the red zone. He doesn't present the type of ability as a receiver that will make defenses game plan around him, but he can help move the chains. Barker also has value on special teams as a long snapper.
|Player (City, State/School)
|Shane McDermott (Lake Worth, Fla./Palm Beach Central)
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 265 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | C rank: 5 | Watch
College: Committed to Miami over South Florida, West Virginia, Vanderbilt and Stanford.
Breakdown: He is a solid offensive lineman with the versatility to play any of the interior positions but is best suited for center or guard. He has good toughness, physicality and athleticism. Shows good initial quicks. Really gets after down linemen and linebackers.
|Kolton Houston (Buford, Ga./Buford)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 265 | ESPNU 150 rank: 82 | OG rank: 3 | Watch
College: Committed to Georgia over Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Clemson, Auburn and Florida State.
Breakdown: He has the rare combination of agility, quickness and overall athleticism in an offensive lineman. He explodes out of his stance and delivers a jolting initial punch into the defender; he really uses his hands as a weapon. He gives great effort and is especially impressive making blocks downfield.
|James Stone (Nashville, Tenn./Maplewood)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 297 | ESPNU 150 rank: 100 | OT rank: 9 | Watch
College: Considering Notre Dame, Auburn, Alabama, LSU and Tennessee
Breakdown: He's a very sound pass-protector who uses his hands and long arms as weapons to stop and control the pass-rusher. Athleticism is shown by running a speed-rusher well up the field to allow the quarterback to step up in the pocket. Also adjusts to inside slant move by flattening down and burying the rusher to the inside. Stone has great potential and can develop into a difference-maker at the offensive tackle position.
|James Hurst (Plainfield, Ind./Plainfield)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 285 | ESPNU 150 rank: 119 | OT rank: 12 | Watch
College: Committed to North Carolina over Ohio State, Mississippi State, Florida, Georgia and Notre Dame
Breakdown: He has excellent reactions and picks up line stunts and blitzes like a seasoned veteran. He possesses strength and power at the point of attack, which often results in his opponent being knocked back off the line of scrimmage. He anchors down in pass protection and refuses to be bull-rushed.
|Ja'Wuan James (Suwanee, Ga./North Gwinnett)
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 305 | ESPNU 150 rank: 92 | OT rank: 7 | Watch
College: Committed to Tennessee over Georgia, Alabama, Florida and UCLA
Breakdown: He is a raw but talented football player who has an extremely strong upper and lower body. He is an excellent zone-blocker who reaches to the outside edge of the opponent and maintains outside pad control. James delivers a jarring first punch to the pass-rusher, stopping him dead in his tracks and forcing him to restart.
|Brent Benedict (Jacksonville, Fla./The Bolles)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 280 | ESPNU 150 rank: 105 | OT rank: 10 | Watch
College: Committed to Georgia over Florida, Miami, Tennessee, Notre Dame and USC.
Breakdown: He is a tall and physically impressive player who is very athletic for such a big man. He not only gets good movement at the point of attack, but can slip to linebacker depth fluidly, while maintaining balance and body control. Benedict shows great mobility and competitiveness by hustling to pick up blocks downfield.
|Cam Feldt (Pilot Point, Texas/Pilot Point)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 290 | ESPNU 150 rank: 94 | OT rank: 8 | Watch
College: Committed to Arkansas.
Breakdown: He is a thick, hard-nosed offensive lineman who comes off the ball with authority. He packs a powerful first punch, which often moves the defensive lineman off the line of scrimmage. Feldt is the guy running backs love to run behind in short-yardage situations. He comes off the ball with low pads and churns his legs like pistons to maintain leverage on the man across from him.
|Tavadis Glenn (Jacksonville, Fla./Raines)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 270 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | OT rank: 16
College: Committed to Miami
Breakdown: He is a good looking prospect who brings some versatility to the table. He plays on both sides of the ball in high school and could be recruited for either defensive tackle or offensive line. He is a solid defender who displays the ability to use his hands to keep some separation and can attack half-a-man and get into a gap and be disruptive.
|Chaz Green (Tampa, Fla./Tampa Catholic)
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 286 | ESPNU 150 rank: 50 | OT rank: 3 | Watch
College: Considering Florida, USC, Ohio State, Tennessee and Georgia
Breakdown: Green is a prospect with a potentially bright future. Right off the bat he intrigues you with his size as he definitely looks the part. He is a big kid with ideal size and an impressive-looking frame. He oozes raw athleticism and displays exciting upside. His hulking size would lead you to believe he excels at this point as a punishing run-blocker, but he actually seems further along and more comfortable as a pass-blocker.
|Torrian Wilson (Miami, Fla./Miami Northwestern)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 300 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | OG rank: 7
College: Recently de-committed from Stanford and is considering Michigan, Tennessee or South Florida
Breakdown: He is a big and strong offensive lineman. Wilson has great size and displays quick feet for a guy over 300 pounds. Often dominates smaller defensive lineman and drives them into linebacker level. Plays a little high but has a good motor and stays with his block 'til the whistle blows.
|Player (City, State/School)
|William Gholston (Detroit, Mich./Southeastern)
Height: 6-7 | Weight: 250 | ESPNU 150 rank: 25 | DE rank: 3 | Watch
College: Committed to Michigan State over Ohio State, USC, Tennessee, Michigan and Oklahoma
Breakdown: He's a tall and physically impressive prospect. He will likely fit best as a defensive end in college but is also a tough linebacker. The versatile defender could cause problems coming off the edge with his build and athleticism.
|Jackson Richards (Southlake, Texas/Carroll)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 235 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | DE rank: 35 | Watch
College: Committed to Texas Tech over LSU, UCLA, Kansas State and Colorado
Breakdown: From the heart of Texas, Richards is a good football player. He plays smart, uses his tools and can be a productive defender.
|Corey Lemonier (Hialeah, Fla./Hialeah)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 221 | ESPNU 150 rank: 95 | DE rank: 11 | Watch
College: Considering Illinois, Florida State, Miami, Auburn and Tennessee
Breakdown: Lemonier is a physically good-looking kid who has the tools to leave blockers feeling bitter.
|James Kittredge (Ramsey, N.J./Don Bosco)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 250 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | DT rank: 65 | Watch
College: Committed to Vanderbilt over Rutgers, South Carolina, Maryland, NC State and Pitt
Breakdown: He is a physical kid in taking on blocks and flashes the ability to come out of his stance and derive power from his lower body and shoot his hands.
|Louis Nix (Jacksonville, Fla./Raines)
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 318 | ESPNU 150 rank: 99 | DT rank: 8 | Watch
College: Committed to Notre Dame over Miami, Florida, Florida State, Michigan and Clemson
Breakdown: Nix is a big defensive tackle with some raw tools. He can do some things that really make you think he has elite talent when he is operating on all cylinders.
|George Uko (Chino, Calif./Don Antonio Lugo)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 299 | ESPNU 150 rank: 59 | DT rank: 3 | Watch
College: Uko is most likely only considering USC and UCLA at this time. Cal, Oregon and Tennessee are also in the mix.
Breakdown: Uko has solid size and looks on film to have the frame to add more good bulk. He has a good get-off, but needs to be more consistent. You can expect Uko to make an exciting play, but you need to brace yourself for the fact that he may also run himself out of position.
|Bronson Kaufusi (Provo, Utah/Timpview)
Height: 6-8 | Weight: 240 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | DE rank: 22 | Watch
College: Committed to BYU over Stanford
Breakdown: Kaufusi is a kid who certainly looks the part, as he possesses good size and is a tough defender versus the run.
|Corey Miller (Duncan, S.C./James Byrnes)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 231 | ESPNU 150 rank: 45 | DE rank: 6 | Watch
College: Committed to Tennessee over Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson, South Carolina and Georgia
Breakdown: Miller is a high-motor and active defender, and blockers had better get a good night's sleep before facing him. He is a productive and good football player with upside. He can still be a bit raw in some areas.
|Todd Chandler (Miami, Fla./Miami Northwestern)
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 283 | ESPNU 150 rank: 62 | DT rank: 4
College: Committed to South Florida after de-committing from Miami.
Breakdown: Chandler shows that size isn't everything. He may lack ideal height, but he is a productive defensive tackle. He can be quick off the ball and use that lack of height to win the leverage battle and be disruptive in the trenches.
|Player (City, State/School)
|Christian Jones (Oviedo, Fla./Lake Howell)
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 215 | ESPNU 150 rank: 27 | OLB rank: 2 | Watch
College: Considering Florida State, Florida, USC, Notre Dame and Tennessee
Breakdown: Jones is very explosive, versatile and athletic for his size and brings a lot of physical tools to the table for a program to mold into its scheme. He could put his hand down at the next level and be disruptive as an edge pass-rusher or play out of a two-point stance and make plays sideline-to-sideline with his intense motor and great acceleration.
|Shaun Lewis (Missouri City, Texas/Hightower)
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 197 | ESPNU 150 rank: 40 | OLB rank: 3 | Watch
College: Committed to Oklahoma State over Texas A&M, LSU, Miami, Oklahoma and Notre Dame
Breakdown: Lewis is another undersized linebacker who should become one of the productive college 'backers in this class once his body fully develops. He has a lot of natural ability and makes very quick, reactive reads between the tackles that you simply can't coach. Consistently beats blockers to the point of attack with his great downhill burst and quickness. Lewis covers the whole field and is a very strong, reliable tackler.
|Konrad Zagzebski (Schofield, Wis./D.C. Everest)
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 220 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | ILB rank: 28 | Watch
College: Committed to Wisconsin over Minnesota and Northwestern
Breakdown: He is a very solid linebacker prospect with good upside and the coveted scheme versatility to potentially play both inside and outside; maybe an ideal OLB in a 3-4 defense with continued physical development. Has great height with a long, well-built frame that should fill out to the 240-pound range at the next level while retaining his current short-range speed and quickness.
|Jeff Luc (Port St. Lucie, Fla./Treasure Coast)
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 241 | ESPNU 150 rank: 6 | ILB rank: 1 | Watch
College: Committed to Florida State.
Breakdown: Luc is one of the more imposing middle linebackers we have seen in the past few recruiting classes. It's very difficult to find many physical flaws in his game and he is more than ready to make the jump to the next level right now. He displays awesome short-area power and strength at the point of attack and is just an explosive downhill filler. Luc is a textbook tackler who drives through ball carriers and really dishes out the punishment.
|Michael Taylor (Atlanta, Ga./Westlake)
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 193 | ESPNU 150 rank: 137 | OLB rank: 12 | Watch
College: Committed to Tennessee over Miami, LSU, Stanford, Georgia, Georgia Tech
Breakdown: Taylor may check in at less than 200 pounds, but he hits like a 240-pound linebacker and generates striking force in the short-area. He fills fast and hard between the tackles with good leverage and great short-area power. Consistently beats blockers to the hole with his great burst and direct angles to the football.
|Player (City, State/School)
|Joshua Shaw (Palmdale, Calif./Palmdale)
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 181 | ESPNU 150 rank: 33 | CB rank: 3 | Watch
College: Committed to Florida over USC, Ohio State, LSU, Notre Dame and Washington
Breakdown: Shaw is a very good, natural athlete and skilled two-way prospect. He has good height and a longer, leaner frame that should continue to fill out well. On defense, we like his height and ball skills as a deep zone defender. He has the physical tools to develop into a good press corner; he excels at rerouting receivers off the line.
|Lamarcus Joyner (Miami, Fla./Saint Thomas Aquinas)
Height: 5-8 | Weight: 165 | ESPNU 150 rank: 5 | CB rank: 1
College: Committed to Florida State over Ohio State and Florida.
Breakdown: He may have some of the best pure play speed in this cornerback class. He displays great range and recovery burst. Explosive, physical and very balanced versus the run and pass. He rarely covers grass and seems to constantly be around the football making the big play. Joyner is a great competitor who plays the game fast and physical on every snap.
|Dietrich Riley (La Canada, Calif./Saint Francis)
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 196 | ESPNU 150 rank: 112 | S rank: 10 | Watch
College: Considering USC, Florida, Tennessee, Notre Dame and UCLA
Breakdown: He has tremendous instincts as a defensive back; he reads and reacts instantly. Breaks quickly in run support and doesn't shy away from delivering the hit on the ball-carrier. Takes good angles and transitions in the open field. He turns his hips and changes direction fluidly. Displays closing and catch up speed; runs down ball carriers that break contain or receivers from the opposite side of the field.
|Cody Riggs (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Saint Thomas Aquinas)
Height: 5-8 | Weight: 154 | ESPNU 150 rank: 72 | CB rank: 7 | Watch
College: Committed to Florida over Georgia, Tennessee and Notre Dame, among others.
Breakdown: He shows very good footwork, speed and quickness on the perimeter. A quick-twitched athlete. Fluid pedal and he transitions smoothly in breaking underneath with little wasted motion.
|Alec Ogletree (Newnan, Ga./Newnan)
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 214 | ESPNU 150 rank: 34 | S rank: 5 | Watch
College: Committed to Georgia over Miami, Alabama, Florida, Florida State and Georgia Tech
Breakdown: He is an active player in the secondary and on special teams. He has the size of an outstanding linebacker with safety speed. He attacks the line of scrimmage quickly in run support while keeping leverage and tempo on the ball.
|Nick Dew (Virginia Beach, Va./First Colonial)
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 190 | ESPNU 150 rank: 51 | S rank: 6 | Watch
College: Committed to Virginia Tech over Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisville, Maryland and Virginia
Breakdown: He has a great blend of speed, quickness and athleticism. Dew is a tall, intimidating figure who excels as an edge blitzer. He times his get-off and flushes the quarterback out of the pocket, makes the sack or forces the quarterback to release the football early.
|Ryan Ayers (Douglasville, Ga./South Paulding)
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 175 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | CB rank: 15 | Watch
College: Committed to Georgia Tech over Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi State, North Carolina and Auburn
Breakdown: He is an impressive defensive back; he shows the acceleration and speed of a corner and the range, ball-hawking skills and physicality sought-after in a free safety. Has just adequate size but he plays much bigger and his leaner, rangier frame should continue to physically develop well.
|Player (City, State/School)
|Kip Smith (Broomfield, Colo./Legacy)
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 200 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | K rank: 2 | Watch
College: Committed to UCLA over Minnesota, Colorado, Arizona State and Kansas State
Breakdown: Smith gets good hang time on his punts and will be a dual threat at the college level. He is very powerful and sits back well on punts, which allows him to get big hang times.

A better title for Rob Huffman's article in Sunday's Free Lance-Star should have been: "My Liberal Ideology Trumps the U.S. Constitution." Mr. Huffman's understanding of this country's founding document and the history surrounding that document is dubious at best.
Put aside all his skewed statistics, hand-wringing emotional regurgitations and "bile rising" in [his] throat and examine the Second Amendment's pivotal phrase: "shall not be infringed." In legal circles there is an oft-used phrase: "Let the statute speak for itself." One cannot misunderstand the founders' intent with those four words.
The genesis of the philosophical right to bear arms finds itself in English common law's right to defend one's self and the resistance to oppression. The right to bear arms was essential when our nation was in its infancy as a protection against a tyrannical government that would conduct warrantless searches of personal property (does the NSA sound familiar?), use the institutions of government to suppress the voice of the citizenry (IRS anyone?), and, force subjects to pay exorbitant taxes to fund a detached and out-of-control government (Obamacare anyone?).
Mr. Huffman, we gun owners couldn't care less if you respect us; we stand for our rights with no apology. But liberals, bile in their throats and all, need to understand that when the Constitution of the United States clearly states "shall not be infringed," you will not infringe upon that right.

Congressman Trying to get Bush's 'Midnight Rules' Reviewed
Rules of the UIGEA May Be Up for Review
A New York Congressman has introduced a bill that, if passed, would allow Congress to reverse the exiting president's "midnight" rush to push the rules of several dozen laws into action before he leaves office.
One of those laws is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA), which has been hung up for years as the rules banks will have to follow were being written and revised by the federal departments.
Bush ordered the rules fast-tracked to implementation in November. It doesn't mater that authors at the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve still believe the rules, as written, are too obscure to be effective for accomplishing what the UIGEA was designed to do: End online gambling -- including poker in the U.S.
It's usual protocol for outgoing presidents to rush rules of their pet laws through the proper agecies before they leave office. The UIGEA is just one of many dozen that Bush is pushing through.
As it stands now, the UIGEA will be enforceable in December 2009.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) introduced the first version of his Midnight Rule Act in November as a kind of warning to Bush, but had to reintroduce it after the new Congress first convened. All proposed bills and legislation that were introduced to the last Congress have to be reintroduced to the new one.
According to Nadler, the Midnight Rule Act would allow legitimate regulatory reform to proceed on schedule, while putting the power to review and overturn controversial new rules into the hands of the newly elected government. The bill also includes measures to ensure that the administration can still take actions that are necessary to protect the safety and security of the American public.
If passed (and Congress better hurry, because Bush's last day is Tuesday), rules adopted by an agency within 90 days of the exiting president's end of term would be reviewable by the incoming president.
The new president then has 90 days to disapprove of the rules by publishing a statement of disapproval in the Federal Register and sending a notice of disapproval to the congressional committees of jurisdiction.
Even if Nadler get this squeaked through in time, there's no guarantee that the rules of the UIGEA will be addressed.

Delaware announced on Wednesday a new effort to encourage high-achieving low-income students to apply to top colleges, saying it would send application fee waivers and other information to every such high school senior in the state.
The program — a collaboration between Gov. Jack Markell, a Democrat, and the College Board, which administers the SAT — is a response to recent research showing that most poor students with high grades do not apply to any top colleges. Instead, many attend colleges with fewer resources and fail to graduate, at a time when the wage gap between college graduates and everyone else is near a record high.
