SanDisk Extreme II 240 GB SSD Review
SanDisk Extreme II 240 GB SSD Introduction:
Who doesn't want a fast SSD? The answer is pretty much nobody. However, the cost of entry into the SSD club has been quite high ever since SSDs hit the market in large quantities back in 2009. Ever since they were introduced onto the market people have been clamoring for a lower-cost but high-performing solution to ease the pain of the initial cost. SanDisk, debuting its Extreme II SSD, seems to think that it has the solution. The Extreme II combines the performance aspects of the extremely expensive SLC-based Flash drives with the price and capacity bonuses of the more-dense but slower MLC-based Flash drives. This new approach to storage, dubbed the "nCache", uses MLC Flash configured as SLC Flash to support very fast small reads and writes with the larger transfers going directly to the bulk MLC Flash that makes up most of the capacity. This new approach, along with 256 MB of DDR3-1600 RAM cache, is intended to boost performance and reliability across the board with no real drawbacks.
So, those of you who have been on the fence about updating, is this drive the one you've been waiting for? The Extreme II stands to deliver SLC-like speed, SLC-like reliability, and MLC-like cost. What's to complain about? Keep reading to see if the SanDisk Extreme II lives up to the promises of its maker!
SanDisk Extreme II 240 GB SSD Closer Look:
The SanDisk Extreme II jumped into my arms in a bit of unusual packaging. As far as I can tell this is only ever sent out to reviewers. The all-black box sports a huge label with the namesake of the company and the model of the drive emblazoned in large font. The overall box is much larger than anything I would expect the retail drive to be shipped with but I wanted to give everyone a taste of how products sometimes arrive to my doorstep right after release.
Ah, here we go. The Extreme II looks exactly like the box it was delivered in and I have to say it looks quite snazzy. The all-black casing with red and white accents doesn't scream "I'm expensive" but it does have a sort of ready-to-go look to it. The backside of the drive reveals the capacity and other various specifications that are probably not very interesting to anyone. The main thing to note here is that this drive utilizes the SATA 6 Gbps bus for fast speeds and also sports a five-year warranty to go along with its 240 GB capacity and an 80 TB lifetime write guarantee. This is the same write capacity associated with the smaller 120 GB sibling so I imagine you'll have to write a lot more than 80 TB to get the Extreme II to run out of spare cycles.
It's hard to tell on-edge like this but the SanDisk Extreme II is of the thinner 7mm variety of 2.5" drives. This means that unlike the larger (and more standard) 9mm drives you can fit this drive into many Ultrabooks and ultraportables without any hassles. The notebook retail version ships with a shim that allows it to fit snugly into a bay designed for a standard 9mm height drive but my pre-release sample did not include such niceties. The desktop variant will ship with a 2.5" to 3.5" converter for those of you without a case with native 2.5" drive support. Under the skin of the drive lives a Marvell controller, 256 MB of DDR3-1600 RAM cache, 32 GB of "SLC" cache, and 240 GB of MLC flash.
Popping open the drive (and voiding the warranty, but hey, this is OCC!) reveals a single PCB housing all of the drive components. The rear of the board sports very few components while the front holds the Marvell 88SS9187 controller, the DDR3 cache, and the eight 32 GB Flash chips. Each of these components has a thermal pad that dissipates heat into the aluminum enclosure while the top plate (which is plastic) is merely cosmetic. The SLC cache is embedded within the MLC chips (manufactured by SanDisk on a 19nm process) seen here. Keep reading to find out just how this unique drive architecture stacks up to the competition!

"To see anyone defending EA and Maxis for the state of SimCity, even were it in perfect working order on launch, depresses me to my core. This self-flagellation-as-skincare notion, where gamers loudly and proudly defend the destruction of their own rights as consumers, is an Orwellian perversity. That it might be considered in any way controversial to call them out on their crap, to point out that no, always-on DRM is not an advantage to anyone, is bewildering. It's a sign of just how far the gaming world has fallen into the rabbit hole of the publisher's burrowing." As usual, RPS hits the nail on the head so hard it shoots through the board.

Henderson County commissioners on Wednesday approved a bond refinancing plan that will save Parde Hospital $626,736 in interest over the next decade.
Henderson County commissioners approved a series of legal documents Wednesday to better position Pardee Hospital to adjust to a rapidly changing health care climate, including a bond order that will save the hospital $626,736 in interest over the next decade.
By a 5-0 vote, commissioners approved a plan allowing Pardee to consolidate old debts into a new bond. The majority of debt is from a 2001 revenue bond package, but the new bond would also subsume smaller loans of $1.26 million owed from the hospital's purchase of doctors' practices and associated real estate near Pardee.
County Attorney Russ Burrell emphasized the bond refinancing doesn't borrow any additional funds or extend the time of loan repayment. He also said the county is not on the hook for loan payments. The new bond's principal cannot exceed $9.5 million.
"Understand that your involvement is because, as in the original agreement, the real estate on which the hospital sits and operates is placed as collateral for this loan," Burrell said. "Also placed as collateral is the revenue generated by the hospital."
Vice Chairman Tommy Thompson wanted to make sure the public understood the county is not pledging any tax dollars toward Pardee's indebtedness. He said if the hospital defaulted on the newly issued bonds, the county wouldn't dip into its general fund or taxing authority to pay it off.
"It's like a foreclosure and the real estate would take care of it, so we really don't have any obligation other than to OK the bond procedure," he said.
By giving approval to the refinancing, commissioners put their final stamp on a memorandum of understanding and agreement the county signed with Pardee and the University of North Carolina Health Care Systems in April.
That agreement basically expanded the relationship between Pardee and UNC Health Care, Burrell said, giving them more flexibility to deal with ever-evolving changes in health care laws at the state and federal levels.
"I think it's fair to say ... that the future of health care is almost impossible to predict because it changes every day," Burrell said. "What the law is and what the law will be tomorrow is almost unknowable. The intent in setting this up was to increase flexibility of the hospital to meet whatever that future holds, while retaining enough oversight by this board and by the hospital board."
Chairman Charlie Messer said he and other commissioners recently attended local government seminars in Greensboro on forthcoming changes brought on by the federal Affordable Care Act, which he called "a moving target."
"I really don't think we could be in a better position as a county, by having UNC on board with an agreement to help us get through this time," Messer said, adding UNC and Pardee officials "know the changes from day to day and can adjust accordingly."
Thompson referenced Mission Hospital's recent financial woes, which have resulted in the hospital laying off 70 employees and CEO Ron Paulus cutting his salary by 26 percent next year. In a news release, Paulus said Mission was forced to make cuts due to challenges from health care reform, federal sequestration and North Carolina's decision not to expand Medicaid.
"There's big changes to come and we've talked in a lot of terms on a lot of occasions about micro-managing," Thompson said. "We can't do that. But the hospital is in the business of doing that, and I think we've got the right people in place and I'm very proud of what we've accomplished today."
Commissioners Grady Hawkins and Mike Edney agreed. Hawkins said "we've made a great partner with UNC Health (Care System). They're in the business of dealing with whatever's new out there, and that's a big advantage to us."
Edney said "having UNC on board has basically guaranteed the future of Pardee and health care for our citizens."
Finalized agreement
The Pardee Board of Directors also voted Wednesday to approve the management agreement strengthening the partnership between the two health care organizations.
The finalized agreement between Pardee Hospital and UNC Health Care System extends their relationship from 10 to 25 years. UNCHCS now has greater involvement with clinical, business and financial operations, Pardee said in a news release.
UNCHCS is able to invest in Pardee facilities and operations and potential expansion of clinical facilities at Pardee, the release says. The duration of Pardee Hospital's lease with the county for both the hospital buildings and land has been extended for 25 years.
The final articles revise the structure of the Pardee Hospital Board of Directors. The current board is compromised of 11 members. The new structure expands the board to a total of 15 members, with appointments being made by the Henderson County Board of Commissioners and by UNC Health Care System.
County commissioners have three appointments. Three are nominated by UNCHCS, with Henderson County Board of Commissioner appointment. Five are nominated by the Pardee Board of Directors for approval by UNCHCS and appointment by commissioners.
Four members are ex officio: the president of UNC Hospitals or designee, a county commissioner, the CEO of Pardee and the chief of staff of Pardee.
"I'm pleased to see these agreements formalized," Walter Carpenter, vice chair of the Board of Directors of Pardee Hospital, said in the release. "The health care ecosystem is evolving overnight, and there has been significant work done by all involved to position Pardee to continue to succeed in the future."

16 Horsepower were a Denver-based alternative country band that revolved around the unique songwriting and singing of David Eugene Edwards. The band made its name with music that combined rural backwoods kitsch with edgy, off-kilter country-rock. Teaming up with drummer Jean-Yves Tola and bassist Pascal Humbert in the band's original lineup, Edwards lost the latter member when the band relocated to Denver from California, adding Keven Soll to the roster instead. The group's eponymous debut EP was released in 1995 on A&M Records and was followed a year later by the Sackcloth 'n' Ashes full-length, which featured a cameo from Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes) on fiddle.
Soll eventually left the band, Humbert returned to the fold in 1997, along with new guitarist Jeffrey Paul Norlander. PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish was drafted to produce the band's newest effort, and Low Estate appeared in early 1998. Secret South arrived two years later and was followed by a well-deserved break from recording. Guitarist Steve Taylor had joined the lineup before this point, his arrival coinciding with Norlander's departure. The live document Hoarse, released in spring 2001, marked the band's first release for the new millennium. One year later, the original trio got back together with Taylor and began writing and recording Folklore, which was released that summer through the New York-based indie label Jet Set.
Olden, which collected 12 previously unreleased demo/alternate versions of classic 16HP material; six live tracks culled from a 1994 date in Denver; and two band interviews. It was followed in January 2011 by Yours Truly, a 25-track retrospective that featured a collection of 12 "popular favorites," all of which were chosen by fans via an online survey, as well as a second disc that included 13 B-sides and rarities.

MP903, New May 2008
Bidens is most often found in moist areas.
The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Ardmore, Oklahoma
Bidens flowers are yellow, 1 to 1-1/2 inches across.
Scott Sudkamp, Missouri Department of Conservation
Leaves of some species are pinnately compound.
Two or three prongs extend from the seed and readily cling to fabric and fur to facilitate distribution. Despite these sharp points, many birds relish bidens as food.
Steve Hurst, USDA-NRCS Plants Database
Twelve species of Bidens are known to occur in the Midwest; Bidens artistosa, B. bipinnata, and B. frondosa are among the most common. Flowers are yellow, daisylike, and about 1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Some species have simple leaves, while the leaves of others are pinnately compound. Mature seeds are two- or three-pronged with small barbs and readily attach to clothes, hence the common names beggar ticks and sticktights. Bidens species tend to be found in wet or moist areas.
May to October
Bidens seeds are relished by ducks and are eaten by bobwhites as well. This plant also serves as brooding cover for chicks, which are attracted to the cool, insect-rich environment in which it grows.

There were no surprises Tuesday when NASCAR revealed the 2014 Sprint Cup Series schedule.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There were no surprises Tuesday when NASCAR revealed the 2014 Sprint Cup Series schedule because a date swap between Darlington and Kansas had already been announced by the respective tracks.
NASCAR did confirm that its track drying system Air Titan will be at all Sprint Cup events next season.
If any major changes are coming, it won't happen until 2015. That's when NBC takes over the final 20 races of the Cup schedule and NASCAR could have some flexibility with race dates.
The 2014 schedule has only two changes: Darlington and Kansas swapped spring dates, and Texas' spring race went from a Saturday night event to Sunday to avoid a conflict with the NCAA men's basketball Final Four in Dallas that weekend.

The familiar stranger 2001 online dating who is dating trina
However, when I hear stories about disappointment, frustration, and insecurity about dates that haven't worked out, there is a recurring theme: Do you know what this also means?
Use the period from when you meet whether it starts out online or in the 'real world' as an opportunity for you both to discover the 'facts' about one another and assimilate whether you want to progress…or opt out.Dating does require effort, but if you already have to work at dating someone, you've got issues. As I said in my last post on Future Faking and Fast Forwarding, if you can't handle the emotional consequences of making mistakes or being disappointed, aside from slowing down and rolling back your level of investment, I would address these areas so that you can date with a reasonable level of confidence and not feel like it's a ride or die situation.I'm not saying that there might not be a hiccup here or there, but if you start dating someone and you're already feeling like you have to 'work' at a relationship you don't have, the rot will set in fast. Our job when we date, aside from hopefully enjoying ourselves, is to work out what and who we're dealing with before we make a commitment to have an exclusive relationship and before we feel safe enough to put both feet in and invest ourselves. Manage your insecurities, address any limiting beliefs, and don't make dating a vocation.We're not all in it for the same reasons and as we don't live in an ideal world, people are 1) not always honest about their reasons or 2) overestimate their interest. Some of you, are meeting someone and thinking 'Oh please let this be it because I really fancy the arse off them' and then putting on a blindfold, tying your arms and legs together and diving in. As everyone is not honest about their reasons, you can only discover what someone's true intentions are by spending time around them with your eyes and ears 100% open and not letting your vagina or penis or your overactive imagination make your judgements for you. Not every person can be 'it' – if you're more eager to be off the market than you are to meet a quality partner, you will project a relationship and just keep trying to slot candidates into the hole in your relationship picture, instead of meeting someone, seeing how it goes, and letting the relationship picture evolve from there. Baggage Reclaim is a guide to learning to live and love with self-esteem by breaking the patterns that stand in your way.If someone said 'What I'm looking for is someone to have a whirlwind romance with and yet again, fantastise about a relationship I'm never going to be around to have, and then shag you a few times and then whip the rug from under your feet and leave', they wouldn't have much luck with dates or they'd only be with the desperate sort. Whether it's figuring out what's going on in a troubling relationship, understanding you and self-care, or being more assertive, I'm here to help you guide you.
Generally speaking, to get to the point of going on a date, there is some level of attraction there.

I want to see the web help us come to a better understanding of each other and the world we inhabit together. To that end, I have been helping companies turn good ideas into clever products for over fifteen years. My focus is design, but my contribution frequently extends into product strategy, software engineering and brand development. I love working through the perceived boundaries between these disciplines.
In July 2010, I joined Google, where I work on Search. Google acquired Metaweb, where I had worked for four and a half years on Freebase, a massive, collaboratively-edited entity graph of people, places and things, made accessible to all through a powerful API and Creative Commons licensing. It's exciting to see that project grow to Google scale.
I also work with The Long Now Foundation on projects including Long Bets, an arena for making long-term bets about the future. Other clients have included Kevin Kelly, Applied Minds, Cartesis SA (acquired in 2007 by SAP) and Sega.
Right now, I'm interested in:
I tend to complicate moments of intimacy with cameras. My friends and lovers tolerate this with an astonishing patience that I'm very grateful for. I try hard to take decent pictures of them in return.
I also take a lot of pictures of machines, especially old cars and industrial infrastructure. I haven't figured out what story I'm telling with these, but it has something to do with how we decide the individual fates of all these machines that we've spared no expense to create, and how we choose which will be meticulously restored, grudgingly maintained, or mercilessly forgotten.
When kristie dahlia and I got married in 1999, we changed our last names to Home. We have some pretty unconventional ideas about home and marriage. We live in a TIC called hartford.st in the Castro district of San Francisco, with Dan Haskovec, Jennifer Lynch, their daughters Hazel and Oona, Todd Elliott, Judith Zissman, dog Lyle, and cats Oh, Po, and Boogie.

Rules for project inclusion
Current DC-Vault rules for project inclusion:
1) Projects must have 100 or more active users in the last 28 days.
2) Projects must have 10 or more active teams in the last 28 days.
The numbers above are simply suggestions off the top of my head. Maybe they're a bit high. These new rules (in some form) would make the Vault more vital and competitive by eliminating outdated and little used projects, thus allowing newer teams a CHANCE to actually do well. Older teams would still hold an advantage for their point accumulations in vital currently used projects.
Does this have any influence on the scores as we do have now in the vault?
It is normal that older teams participating in a project such as the DC-vault have a (big) lead, they've put enough effort in it to get that lead. But I also agree that a project must have some kind of a active user base to be in the vault.
I thought one of the reasons to start DC-Vault in the first place was to give some exposure to smaller projects? Ruling out projects for being too small seems to contradict this.
Having said that, I do agree that active participation could and maybe should be part of the inclusion/exclusion rules. Most projects that are just starting are usually ruled out anyway, because they have rough edges with their scoring or otherwise. Once new projects mature, they will usually be above some sort of lower limit. So, a rule like this will usually hit "older" projects in which interest has diminished.
Given that DC-Vault is a team comparison, I would rather not set a limit on the number of active users, but only on active teams. And maybe not a fixed limit like 10, but a soft limit like a percentage of the total number of participating teams in the project? Either limit could easily be checked by the statsrun, and a 14 day countdown posted on the forum. This might give teams an incentive to redirect attention to a project to safeguard it from being removed
I think this is a good idea as it could possibly help smalller projects, in that if they are starting to lose teams to other projects they may get renewed interest if they are in danger of being removed from the Vault.
Before the discussion goes any further I would like to rule out the user activity as the time required to download all of the user information, for all of the projects in the Vault, is time prohibitive.
I like the idea of a percentage but I think this could be used in conjunction with a minimum number of active teams, thereby catering for small and large projects. My initial though would be for 25 active teams or 10% of all teams, with a score.
Another colllection restriction is that WCG would be excluded from any checks as there is no way, that I know of, to determine the number of active teams.
If this is agreed then some patience will be required as we do not currently save team points because the Vault is position based. So quite major changes will be required of the stats collection routines.
Hopefully others will join in this discussion as I think it is a good enhancement to the Vault

I'm struggeling to see any benefit from this change... Anyone care to enlighten me?
I also would like to second opyrt's last question. What will the Vault benefit from such a change? I really can't see how the Vault will get any better from such a change in the rules.
Things like this could cause teams to lose interest in the Vault, simply because there's no real incentive in adding power to certain projects to gain a few points if there are projects where hundreds of points are given for a single position gain, but with a grand canyon of difference in points to the next higher team.
There are ways to overcome this, and this topic suggests one of them. Another possibility would be to adjust the points range for the Vault (0-10000) for the smaller projects, i.e. if less than 100 teams compete, set the maximum score to (#teams * 100). Or, as I suggested before, calculate the Vault score over a team's top-30 projects (allowing a team to ignore 5 projects they dislike for whatever reason whilst still staying competitive in DC-Vault).
I would rather propose to request a removal of such projects like the old eOn, if the scoring premises is not equal during a projects lifetime.
Bad scoring models, will always be a problem, independent of the number of participants (though lower score for the same amount of calculations probably will lead to fewer participants).
I think that by requiring this kind of minimum participant requirements, the vault will end up containing mostly BIONC projects that tend to grant cobbles at a higher level than the average score pr calculation. BOINC combined has already been ruined by such projects (but mostly by comparing CPU and GPU score in the same scale )
I agree in Nanobot's wish for a more vital and alive Vault, but I disagree on this propose, as it will probably lead to those small projects getting even less calculation power at their hands.
I can think of one project that will be a major pain to find the number of participants; GIMPS. But Nanobot already made clear that participants never will be the requirement, and active teams should not be too difficult, even for GIMPS
I like think the idea of changing the scoring algorithm might be a better solution to diminish these smaller projects impact of the overall Vault standings; as a 2nd place in, say Muon1 DPAD is drastically lower than a 100th place in Fondling@HOME (but, hey Folding has massive support, Muon1 has marginally support).
This ended up being a somewhat unstructured post, but as I'm a bit tired I have no energy left to try to restructure it
The old eOn was a bad example as people quickly latch onto the scoring change and ignore the main point you raised. LLR is probably a better example. It has been around for a long time with some teams on it from the beginning. There are very few teams on the project so each position is worth hundreds of vault points. It is very difficult for a new team to make an impact. The proposal as I understand it would allow the removal of old projects that still have work but not many participants.
The current points based on ranking can be considered a feature, a flaw or just the way things are. I initially thought it was bizarre that a bazillion terraflops or crunching on FAH got fewer vault points than a couple dozen terraflops on a brand new project. But, that is part of the flavor of the Vault as it, by its very nature, encourages people to contribute to the latest greatest new project. People who fold proteins for Stanford or peer around the stars trying to find ET for Berzerkely will do so whether the vault is around or not.
Adjusting the scoring is of course another way to get things more interesting. As I suggested before, calculating the total score over all but the lowest-score 5 (or 3, or whatever) projects PER TEAM would make things more interesting I think, especially in the top of the rankings (and yes, my team would probably benefit ). It would allow (new) teams to totally ignore those long-running projects if they wish to do so without ruining their total ranking, whereas it would still give the high-ranked teams in those projects their (well-deserved!) credits.
And a non-BOINC project:
I don't think it would take any scripting changes. Just as with other conditions of inclusion it would be up to a Vault user to point out the concern and then post a thread.
Thought that since inclusion rules are being kicked around we should revisit this given the new capabilities Bok has provided on the great Free-DC stats site.

This is the 4th of a multi-part series. The other versions will be 12-team (non-PPR), 14-team (non-PPR), 10-team (non-PPR), Auction (PPR), and FPC formats. Jeff Pasquino will assist me in those efforts.
I started penning this article in 2002 to put my pre-draft thoughts to paper. Like most things in life, I find I do my best when I plan to succeed. This article is my attempt at that. I work hard at doing projections every year. At Footballguys, we also put together the most comprehensive Average Draft Position Lists. So the information about value is certainly readily available. The trick to having a perfect draft though is to anticipate those "pockets of value" and build your team so that you get the lion's share of these guys.
There is not one way to have a perfect draft. In fact, the biggest criticism I often get is that I am willing to wait on QB and/or TE in a lot of drafts. Many drafters show me teams where they grab a guy like Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees early and then knock the rest of the draft out of the park. That's definitely possible. And against weak competition, it is also the preferred game plan.
This article assumes fairly educated drafters. You need to decide whether your league is full of sharks, guppies or a combination of both. Count the number of Footballguys subscriptions and compare that to the number of guys crossing off players from their magazine cheat sheet to get a feel for this if you really are unsure. I state this here, because against softer competition the shark move is to grab the quality QBs and TEs too. You should do this because it's nearly assured you will also get many great players to slide to you at RB and WR. Against great competition, reaching for a player at the wrong time can quickly dismantle your draft and leave you missing the key "pockets of value" that can help your chances at winning.
Before we can have the "Perfect Draft", let's define our measure of success. After the draft, your team should have these qualities:
- Against multiple projection sets, your team always grades out as one of the best teams. And to make your life easy here, just run your roster through our Rate My Team application.
- You secured a great number of players that will outperform their draft position.
- You have quality depth (in the right places) to allow for post-draft trades.
- The majority of owners recognize that you have a team that should easily reach the playoffs.
- Your late round picks have the potential to be game-changing players.
These aren't absolutes, but I list them here so we know what we are trying to build.
Let's start with the two basic principles of Value Based Drafting (VBD). I will expound on them as we go through this.
All Players Have Value
Don't love anyone. Don't hate anyone. Get players that will significantly outperform their draft position and you will build a winning team.
Understand What the Average Guy Thinks
You may believe someone will be the 10th best WR, but if everybody else does not then you need to wait to maximize value.
If you don't follow these principles, you will not have a perfect draft. If you believe rookie WRs are always bad or drafting anyone over 30 is too big of an injury risk, then you will not have the perfect draft. Throw away the biases. Let value guide your draft. Let others succumb to prejudices and generalities. You are here to win your league. And you do that by getting value with every pick.
How do we define value? Value Based Drafting (VBD) has shown us that we can compare unlike positions for comparative value. The cornerstone of VBD starts with solid projections. And these projections can be manipulated to form Top 200+ lists. For this article, I will be using the Top 300 (non-PPR) list I created for the website. I have highlighted favorable differences in green to indicate players that may be bargains on draft day.
Let's have the perfect 10-team draft.
The goal is to get you the best possible team and to make sure you don't overpay for players that can still be had a few rounds later. What I look for are players that I project significantly better than where they are being drafted. The positional analysis tracks to my projections.
This article assumes a 10 team league using scoring that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Def and 1 PK. Fantasy points are calculated as follows:
Passing TDs = 4 points Interceptions = -1 points Rushing/receiving TDs = 6 points Passing yardage = 0.05 points per yard (1 pt per 20 yards) Rushing/receiving yardage = 0.10 points per yard (1 pt per 10 yards)
Quarterbacks - Part 1
With history as our guide, we know the top quarterbacks are almost always drafted too early. And this makes sense. The quarterback position generally scores the most points so fantasy players want to roster a good one. But since most leagues only require one starting quarterback there is little pressure on the remaining quarterbacks after the first six or seven are gone. That makes sense because owners that take Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick, Tom Brady, Cam Newton or Drew Brees don't expect to start any other QB except to cover byes or an injury. This creates a false sense of demand for these dream quarterbacks and then once they are gone, the demand falls off sharply after a few more quarterbacks (Romo, Ryan, both Eli and Peyton Manning get selected).
Looking at the current ADP list and there are five QBs listed as going in the first two rounds (on average):
Aaron Rodgers - Pick #3 Tom Brady - Pick #5 Drew Brees - Pick #8 Matthew Stafford - Pick #14 Cam Newton - Pick #17
I am going to say this the easiest way I know how. Just be patient at quarterback. Drafting Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Stafford, or Newton may feel great for a few minutes on draft day, but it's generally a losing strategy against good competition. You will have a stud at quarterback, but you will have sacrificed grabbing elite RBs and WRs to do it. Follow this simple rule (Wait until round 6 or later for your quarterback and you are well on your way to having the perfect draft).
The Top 50 Players
Instead of concentrating on things by position, I believe the correct approach is to grab the best player available until the Top 50 are off the board. With some luck and creating the right Top 50 list, you are hopeful to still be drafting from this list when you complete the 5th round (60 picks). If you are still using this list in the 9th round, grab a beer and call the engraver during the draft.
Because ADP is a crucial barometer on when players will get drafted, I believe it's important to merge the Footballguys Top 300 with ADP to create a single Top 50 draft list. Here is how I create this list.
For players that have a value lower than ADP, use the average of the two numbers. For players that have a value higher than ADP, use the value number.
Example: Player A has a value of 13 and an ADP of 21. His "drafting" value would be 17. (13 + 21)/2. Conversely, if Player has a value of 21 and an ADP of 13, his "drafting" value would be 21.
Doing this for the Top 300 list yields these Top 50 players (ranked from 1st to 50).
*** Note this is a generic list. You can get a tailored list by entering your scoring criteria into the VBD or Draft Dominator applications:

- Pick 5.10 � WR17 DeSean Jackson, Phi/7 (ADP = 64)
Note: In the past I used to strongly encourage you to not draft a QB in the first 50 picks. The reason for this is you would generally end up with a better team by not falling to this temptation. The league is changing though (passing yards continue to increase) and these elite quarterbacks can earn you enough points (over their peers) that you must consider them at the right price.
Building Your "Core": Your First 5 Picks
You are looking to grab the best player available until this list is exhausted. But use some common sense while you do this. This list includes 24 RBs, so you should make sure you secure at least 2 backs off this list (as that position will have dried up considerably).
I would pay little to no attention to bye weeks during this phase. You have plenty of time to adjust after these Top 50 players are gone.
I would limit myself to just 1 QB or 1 TE from this list unless the extra QB or TE is drafted in the 8th round or later (trade value alone makes the selection worthwhile).
After the Top 50 - Assessment Phase
The transition from the Top 50 to rounding out your team based on need is a critical one. Your analysis here can instantly turn a good draft into a great one. Here are the questions you should be asking yourself to determine your weaknesses:
How many backs did you secure? The average owner should have 2.4 RBs. Do you have 3 or more including one in the 1st round? Is this a position of strength for your team?
Did you draft a QB or TE (The average owner should have 0.6 QBs and 0.3 TEs) yet? If so consider yourself done at this position until much later in the draft. If you have not drafted these positions yet, do not panic. Good ones will be available later.
Assess your bye week situation. If three or more of your first five players are off on the same bye week, I will usually sacrifice that week so that I can be strong in every other week. If that is not the case, then I look to patch the holes with complimentary players that could have big weeks during these rough spots. Teams lining up against Tampa Bay, Oakland, Arizona, Indianapolis, Washington and St. Louis should all yield good results during these weeks.
As an example, Let's say you landed this team after 5 rounds (from the 5th position):
5. WR Calvin Johnson, Det/5 16. RB Jamaal Charles, KC/7 25. RB Ryan Mathews, SD/7 36. RB Frank Gore, SF/9 45. RB Doug Martin, TB/5
By landing 4 RBs and just one wide receiver, you are loaded at running back and can focus on the rest of your lineup. Quick analysis yields these weaknesses at present: QB (none taken), WR (just one) and TE (none taken). Slight Week 5 and Week 7 bye issues, but overall good balance on bye weeks.
Unless significant value presents itself, my next few rounds plan would be:
Fill out roster need at QB Fill out roster need at WR Fill out roster need at TE
Try to grab players without Week 5 or Week 7 byes unless they represent significant value.
Note the departure from looking for value at all cost here. RB may represent value at your next pick, but this selected player may rarely see the field with the starters and the depth you have already drafted. It is generally better to fill out your key roster spots instead of amassing a lot of value that you may not be able to use. So use your head. Are you able to select a QB, RB or TE that represents at least fair value (ADP and value numbers are in line with the selection)?
Let's look at another example. This one from the 10th position:
10. RB Matt Forte, Chi/6 11. RB DeMarco Murray, Dal/5 30. RB Fred Jackson, Buf/8 31. WR Brandon Marshall, Chi/6 50. RB Reggie Bush, Mia/7
A quick analysis yields these weaknesses at present: QB (none taken), TE (none taken), just one wide receiver. No bye week issues.
Unless significant value presents itself, my next few rounds plan would be:
Fill out roster needs at WR (note that if Demaryius Thomas is there at Pick 51, you snap him up) Fill out roster need at QB Fill out roster need at TE (note that if Thomas is gone and Aaron Hernandez is there at Pick 51, you snap him up) Grab a player sliding at RB that is exceptional value after filling out your starters
Moving to Fill Positional Needs
Quarterbacks - Part 2
If you followed this plan up to here, you probably did not select a QB with the top 50 picks. But if you get to the 3rd round and Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady or Drew Brees is on the board, pull the trigger and don't look back. These are elite players and grabbing them in the third round represents enough value that you can deviate slightly from the "generic" perfect draft.
Most times you won't be rostering these "elite" QBs because some other owner will have overpaid. They may think they are going to have an awesome team grabbing Rodgers, Brees or Brady early, but most times that simply will not be the case. How can I say that with such conviction? Because draft after draft, I have seen the same thing happen. People overpay for the top quarterbacks, and then a lull takes place creating pockets of value for quarterbacks 10 through 15. The guys you need are in this second group and by waiting you will secure the running back, wide receiver and tight end talent needed to field a dominant team.
Here are the Quarterbacks that I think represent great value this year:
Matt Ryan, Atl/7 (Value = 50, ADP = 45) in the 5th round or later. - His draft stock is going up by the minute so he may not represent a value pick for very much longer. The Falcons have revamped their offensive philosophy to a vertical pass attack and Matt Ryan could be primed for a huge breakout year. WRs Julio Jones and Roddy White are both elite and veteran Tony Gonzalez is still getting it done despite his advanced age. It's an added bonus that Matt Ryan also graded out as the key person to have in any QBBC strategy.
Robert Griffin III, Was/10 (Value = 66, ADP = 79) in the 7th round or later. - I see a future star in this league in Griffin. He may just be entering the league, but the poise he has already shown this preseason has confirmed my early thoughts that Griffin can be a difference maker. He can beat you both with his arm and his feet. The Redskins upgraded their wide receivers substantially this offseason and old man Santana Moss is still there to help move the chains.
Ben Roethlisberger, Pit/4 (Value = 87, ADP = 86) in the 9th round or later. � Big Ben Roethlisberger loves to throw the ball and stay in the pocket for the Steelers, who now will struggle running the ball with no featured tailback after Rashard Mendenhall's injury. Roethlisberger has big play targets with all his wide receivers, giving him options to spread the ball around and drive a pass-happy attack.
If you miss on Matt Ryan and Robert Griffin, I would look to pounce on Ben Roethlisberger as soon as two of these players are off the board: Tony Romo, Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning. Let those guys be your trigger. When they start getting drafted, you need to grab Roethlisberger before it's too late.
Late in the draft, I like these quarterback flyer picks to represent value:
Andrew Luck, Ind/4 (Value = 121, ADP = 106) in the 12th round or later. - He is already showing the poise he demonstrated at Stanford and has no competition at the position. The Colts are lacking of big play skilled players, but still have Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie to throw to. But in the 12th round, you are gambling on the upside and Luck has plenty of that.
Alex Smith, SF/9 (Value = 104, ADP = 147) in the 11th round or later. - San Francisco upgraded their offense and brought all 11 defensive starters back. They are primed to make a strong run in 2012. Alex has no competition for snaps. He may not be a sexy pick, but he should outplay his draft position by a significant margin.
Jake Locker, Ten/11 (Value = 139, ADP = 162) in the 14th round or later. - Jake Locker has won the starting role this year in Tennessee. That could be a strong fantasy role with Kenny Britt, Nate Washington and rookie Kendall Wright at wide receiver, not to mention TE Jared Cook and RB Chris Johnson out of the backfield. Locker also has good running ability which only adds to his fantasy value.
Russell Wilson, Sea/11 (Value = 133, ADP = 199) in the 14th round or later. - The Seahawks thought that they had grabbed their QB of the future when they signed free agent Matt Flynn, but Russell Wilson has played far too well in the preseason to keep on the bench. Wilson is a surprise starter that many other fantasy team owners will not even know who he is in some of your drafts. Grab him late with some great upside value as Wilson is very athletic and has a strong arm. He may not be this year's Cam Newton, but picking a QB this late with about 75-80% of Newton's upside is a great value play.
Running Backs
In most leagues, running backs are golden. Yes they can run and catch, but the real reason they are golden is that there simply are not enough of them to go around. More and more teams are using a committee approach to the running back position, pulling the starter both on obvious passing downs and sometimes in goal line situations. It has made the workhorse backs (that do all three roles) even more valuable, but also created a bigger pool of next tier backs that don't do it all. If you followed the Top 50 plan from above, you likely have a nice stable of backs on your roster to build the rest of your team around.
But two or three quality backs don't make a powerhouse fantasy roster...Having depth at RB does.
Here are the other RBs that I would target for value (outside of the top 50 picks):
Stevan Ridley, NE/9 (Value = 36, ADP = 76) in the 5th round or later. - Now that BenJarvus Green-Ellis is in Cincinnati, the goal line job for the Patriots falls to Stevan Ridley. Anyone who had Green-Ellis last year as a touchdown machine knows how valuable Ridley can be in a similar role. Ridley will be the power back this year and the workhorse in the fourth quarter, running out the clock and racking up touchdowns against tired defenses. Even if New England uses a committee approach to their backfield, Ridley should be the most valuable fantasy Patriots back.
Donald Brown, Ind/4 (Value = 53, ADP = 70) in the 6th round or later. - He is the starter and doesn't look pressed for carries from anyone. He exploded for 161 rushing yards and a score on just 16 carries in week 16 last year.
Mark Ingram, NO/6 (Value = 63, ADP = 88) in the 7th round or later. - He had a disappointing rookie season, but has flashed skills this preseason and plays in a high-powered offense. If he distances himself from Pierre Thomas, he could deliver a huge season on this team.
Kevin Smith, Det/5 (Value = 71, ADP 78) in the 8th round or later. - I have zero faith we will ever see Jahvid Best play again. Mikel Leshoure might be the back eventually there, but starts the year injured and serving a suspension. Kevin Smith is the starter by default. He had 201 combined yards (and 3 TDs) in week 4 last year and is just 26 years old.
Cedric Benson, GB/10 (Value = 68, ADP = 94) in the 8th round or later. � Benson has been a workhorse back and a productive one in the past, and now that he has signed with one of the best offenses in the NFL there are plenty of reasons to expect him to perform well as a Packer. Benson will get the goal line work and the rest of the Green Bay rushers have all look meager at best in the preseason.
DeAngelo Williams, Car/6 (Value = 65, ADP = 89) in the 8th round or later. � Williams was re-signed in Carolina last year, signifying that the organization believes in his long term value. Williams averaged over five yards a carry last year and finished just outside of the Top 25 rushers in both PPR and non-PPR formats even though he averaged fewer than 10 rushes a game. Imagine what he can do if that number moves to the 15-18 per game plateau? Snap up Williams as a nice value play wherever you can.
Ryan Williams, Ari/10 (Value = 88, ADP = 102) in the 10th round or later. - I have never been much of a believer in Chris Wells. The team drafted Ryan to replace Beanie and then prompted to lose him to an ACL injury last year. He is running strong in camp while Beanie continues to remain injured.
Rashad Jennings, Jac/6 (Value = 76, ADP = 117) in the 10th round or later. � Maurice Jones-Drew continues to hold out, and you will struggle to find a starting tailback later in your draft. Even if Jones-Drew comes back, Jennings will get plenty of work for Jacksonville and players who are late into training camps or skip them entirely do have a history of slow starts and injures. Great upside pick here.
David Wilson, NYG/11 (Value = 94, ADP = 104) in the 10th round or later. � Wilson was a stud at Virginia Tech, better than Ryan Williams for those who saw him play on a consistent basis. Those who believe that Ahmad Bradshaw will stand in his way will see that it is just a matter of time until Wilson is the top dog for the Giants. There is a reason he did not escape the first round, and he will get at least 50% of the workload this year and could be a featured tailback as soon as the second half of 2012 � if not sooner.
Evan Royster, WAS/10 (Value = 101, ADP = 149) in the 11th round or later. - There is a logjam at running backs on the Redskins, but Royster has been running with the first team for the last month. Roy Helu is considered a better blocker, but the coaches seem to like the complete game associated with Royster. Draft him while cheaply he remains under the radar.
Felix Jones, Dal/5 (Value = 122, ADP = 150) in the 12th round or later. - Felix came into camp overweight and frankly has not looked very good this preseason. But here is a player who was the starter for the Cowboys to start last season. DeMarco Murray looked good and then faded last year. Without much else at RB, Felix Jones may get more looks than everyone is expecting simply by default. If he sheds the weight, he should be the team's 3rd down RB.
Taiwan Jones, Oak/5 (Value = 117, ADP = 253) in the 13th round or later. - Darren McFadden is immensely talented, and maybe he really does stay healthy this year. But it won't surprise any of us if McFadden is sidelined again, which would open the door for Mike Goodson and Taiwan Jones. While Goodson ran well in limited opportunities in Carolina, he's a more one dimensional straight line runner, whereas Jones is the explosive, do-it-all back that would better suit the Raiders offense. It's likely the Raiders would use a committee, but Jones ability to catch the ball and break explosive plays makes him a high risk, high upside end game choice.
Bilal Powell, NYJ/9 (Value = 151, ADP = 216) in the 16th round or later. - He has secured the 3rd down RB for the Jets (over Joe McKnight) and might end up pushing Shonn Greene for the starting job. Greene is nothing special at all (averaging just 4.1 yards per carry the last two years despite running behind a good offensive line). Powell showed nothing last year as a rookie, but has made a big impression this year in camp.
Wide Receivers
The biggest key to having a great wide receiver corps is following the Top 50 plan above and then swooping in and stealing the players that slide unnecessarily in a draft. Here are some guys that should represent excellent value this year:
Torrey Smith, Bal/8 (Value = 47, ADP = 71) in the 6th round or later. - He has emerged as the WR1 on this team. Baltimore is promising more "no-huddle" and increased looks vertically. Smith is the player who will benefit with this change in philosophy the most.
Darrius Heyward-Bey, Oak/5 (Value = 87, ADP = 103) in the 9th round or later. - He struggled his first two years in the league, but flashed his true potential at the end of last year catching 26 passes for 433 yards and 2 TDs in his last 4 games. Gifted with amazing speed, this is a player on the rise.
Denarius Moore, Oak/5 (Value = 91, ADP = 100) in the 10th round or later. - He is nursing a hamstring issue which is a bit troublesome, but showed immense talent in spurts last year. He could become an elite talent in this league.
Santonio Holmes, NYJ/9 (Value = 92, ADP = 107) in the 10th round or later. - He is the WR1 by a wide margin on this team. He is nursing an injury (as are the rest of the Jets' receivers), but is expected to be ready to go soon.
Titus Young, Det/5 (Value = 100, ADP 101) in the 10th round or later. - This 2nd year player is having an electrifying camp and plays on an offense that should challenge for the league lead in pass attempts. I like his chances to have a break-through season.
Brandon LaFell, Car/6 (Value = 115, ADP = 154) in the 12th round or later. - He has emerged as the WR2 on the high-flying Carolina offense. Steve Smith is 32 years old (an age where speed starts diminishing) and could see his targets decline as the year goes on. LaFell managed 103 yards and a TD on just 3 catches in week 16 last year.
Jerome Simpson, Min/11 (Value = 134, ADP = 179) in the 14th round or later. - Probably known more for his spectacular flip last season for the Bengals, Jerome has developed into a pretty good player. He will start the year suspended, but will be WR2 on the Vikings after the suspension. He had three 100+ yard efforts in 2011 and has improved every year.
Doug Baldwin, Sea/11 (Value = 131, ADP = 195) in the 14th round or later. - It's a mess at wide receiver in Seattle, but Baldwin is one of the guys who will have a role no matter what. Sidney Rice is the big wildcard, but he still is not healthy. Doug managed 136 yards and a TD against the Super Bowl winning Giants in week 5 last year. At age 24, he is an intriguing prospect going forward.
Davone Bess, Mia/7 (Value = 140, ADP = 178) in the 15th round or later. - Someone in Miami has to catch the ball. I am not in love with Bess' game, but it's hard to imagine him not getting targets and some production based on who else is on this roster.
David Nelson, Buf/8 (Value = 142, ADP = 223) in the 15th round or later. - This player gets zero respect, but he improved significantly in his 2nd year. He is worth a gamble this late and represents nearly zero risk of not performing at his ADP.
Emmanuel Sanders, Pit/4 (Value = 157, ADP = 205) in the 16th round or later. - Up to this point in his career, he has had a very minor role. But with injuries mounting at RB for the Steelers, the team may need a lot more from Emmanuel Sanders in 2012. He has a lock on the WR3 job behind Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace.
Brian Hartline, Mia/7 (Value = 159, ADP = 239) in the 17th round or later. - See Bess above. Someone has to be the WR1 in Miami. Bess and Hartline are the favorites to be that player.
Some other WRs will undoubtedly slip in your drafts besides the above targeted bargain list. In recap, grab approximately three receivers in rounds 2 through 6 and then wait for exceptional value to emerge at WR because it always does.
Tight Ends
The New England Patriots rolled out two rookie TEs in 2010 and those players took the league by storm. That continued through 2011 and many more teams are now deploying two TE sets to confuse defenses.
Because so many more teams are utilizing the TE position, there are almost always bargains at this position late in a draft. In fact once the top 7-8 names come off the board, there is minimal pressure on the TE position the rest of the draft (in leagues that start just 1 TE). It's no surprise that since TEs catch a relatively small amount of passes, primarily on short and intermediate routes (again, excluding the top tier guys), there usually isn't a great deal of variance between the sixth-best PPR TE and the 11th best. Last year the 6th best TE scored 191 fantasy points while the 11th best contributed 173 points (18 point difference or 1.1 points per game).
So ultimately, once you get past the big TEs, you're really debating over approximately a few points per week (which is why it can be wise to just wait until the later rounds to select a TE).
The tight end that I will be targeting in most of my drafts this year is Aaron Hernandez, NE/9 (Value = 45, ADP = 49) in the 5th round or later. I think the Patriots decision to not give Wes Welker a long-term deal speaks volumes about what they plan to do in the passing game this year. And that plan involves using both TEs on the field as their standard offense. Instead of always using Welker in the slot, I expect the team to slide Hernandez in the slot out of a lot of these two TE formations. Add in Hernandez rushing skills and he should be an elite option all year at the position.
Here are the other TEs that I think represent great value in drafts this season:
Brandon Pettigrew, Det/5 (Value = 69, ADP = 83) in the 7th round or later. - He had a slew of drops that could have been TDs. I like his game and he plays in an offense that insures he is rarely double teamed. If he adds the TDs and converts on more of his 125 targets, he could put up huge numbers at TE for a fraction of the cost of the big 3.
Brent Celek, Phi/7 (Value = 114, ADP = 132) in the 12th round or later. - Despite getting just 17 yards in three weeks (weeks 3-5), Celek finished the year with 62 catches, 811 yards and 5 TDs. He had 4 games with 75+ yards receiving.
Dustin Keller, NYJ/9 (Value = 130, ADP = 156) in the 14th round or later. - This is not a sexy selection, but with no real WR2 on the Jets, Keller should be targeted enough to provide excellent value. He finished with 65 catches, 815 yards and 5 TDs and has no challenger for his position.
Greg Olsen, Car/6 (Value = 158, ADP = 141) in the 16th round or later. - He did not put it all together last year after moving to Carolina from Chicago. He split time with Jeremy Shockey last year, but now is the only legitimate TE on their roster for this year. Playing with Cam Newton, Olsen should have a lot of opportunity to put in his best season to date.
Kyle Rudolph, Min/11 (Value = 165, ADP = 165) in the 17th round or later. - The Minnesota Vikings have no real veteran receiving presence in their offense after Percy Harvin, who is still rather inexperienced himself. With a young quarterback (Christian Ponder) and injury concerns with their star running back (Adrian Peterson), Minnesota can use all the talent they can get in the passing game. Rudolph will be splitting time with John Carlson which limits both of their upsides, but if Rudolph becomes the primary tight end then his fantasy value really climbs the chart.
Place Kickers
In leagues that go after kickers early, just wait. You can get an adequate PK in the last two rounds of your draft. In leagues that draft this position real late (most leagues), look towards the second to last round to grab the one kicker you will roster. Suffice it to say that in a lot of leagues now, people wait until their last pick to take their kickers and end up missing the good kickers by a few picks. Most likely that sleeper WR you want in the second to last round will still be there for you in the last round. In waiver wire friendly leagues (most), don't be afraid to draft just one kicker and add others as necessary during the season to cover the bye weeks and/or exploit matchups.
The kicker I am targeting in a lot of drafts is Garrett Hartley, NO/6. You can usually get him after 6 kickers are taken. Should you miss out on him, grabbing Shayne Graham, Hou/8 will get you a producer after ten or more kickers have been taken.
Scoring systems generally come into play and define when defenses are taken. I suggest you wait until 7-9 defenses get selected and then take the Bills defense with confidence.
Another winning strategy to deploy after the draft for defenses is simply to look two games ahead in the waiver process. Most teams will have one or two defenses meaning that half of the defenses are available as free agent pickups each week. By looking two to three weeks ahead at who will be playing Tampa Bay, Oakland, Arizona, Indianapolis, Washington and St. Louis, etc. you likely can find a cheap defense that should perform well against subpar offenses. Drop this defense after their "quality game" so that you can continue to pick up other defenses that will have good weeks. Because of this strategy, I advise you to draft just one defense and look to play matchups the rest of the way. Every year two or three defenses are predicted to be terrible but end up playing great.
Putting It All Together
- Draft for value from the list of the top 50 players for as long as you can. These are your "core" and will define how you approach the rest of the draft.
- Look to select Matt Ryan as your quarterback in the 5th round. If he is unavailable, wait until nine or ten quarterbacks have been selected and take two in successive picks. Robert Griffin III and Ben Roethlisberger are two that I expect to exceed their draft position. Both add key rushing yards and TDs to pad their fantasy totals. Both also play for teams that have suspect ground games.
- Target TE Aaron Hernandez in the 4th or 5th round, but if you miss on him grab Brent Celek and play with confidence.
- Add value at QB, RB, WR and TE in the middle rounds to protect bye weeks, add critical depth, and give yourself a chance to trade off talent to bolster your squad as the season progresses.
- Use the final rounds to add your kicker, a defense and to go after young players in a "Swing-For-The-Fence" mentality. These are players who most likely have a reserve role now, but could be huge fantasy producers should they be given a larger role in their offenses. All should be able to be drafted after round 15. At quarterback I like Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, and Russell Wilson. At running back I like Montario Hardesty, Javon Ringer, Lamar Miller, and Bernard Pierce. At wide receiver I like Steve Smith (StL), Stephen Hill, Brian Hartline, Donnie Avery, Harry Douglas, and Reuben Randle. At tight end I like Rob Housler, Ed Dickson, and Lance Kendricks as younger players that could dominate if given the chance.
- Unless your league has some exotic scoring that elevates defenses, it is best to wait until the last few rounds to grab your defense. After 7-9 defenses are off the board, you should be able to grab the Buffalo Bills. They will be solid and have a great schedule.
- Wait until the second to last round and grab your kicker. Garrett Hartley and Shayne Graham are two that should be available late that play for good offenses.
Well that is it folks. Hope you all do well in your coming drafts. Remember, the key is not to just follow the Top 300 list but to see where it differs substantially from average drafts. This is how you get value with every pick. And value is how you build winning fantasy teams.
Here is a sample team drafted from the 5th position (All picks taken at or before their ADP).
Rd 1 - Pick 5 � WR Calvin Johnson, Det/5 (ADP = 6) Rd 2 - Pick 16 � RB Jamaal Charles, KC/7 (ADP = 20) Rd 3 - Pick 25 � RB Ryan Mathews, SD/7 (ADP = 26) Rd 4 - Pick 36 � RB Frank Gore, SF/9 (ADP = 37) Rd 5 - Pick 45 � RB Doug Martin, TB/5 (ADP = 46) Rd 6 - Pick 56 � WR DeSean Jackson, Phi/7 (ADP = 64) Rd 7 - Pick 65 � WR Torrey Smith, Bal/8 (ADP = 71) Rd 8 - Pick 76 � QB Robert Griffin III, Was/10 (ADP = 79) Rd 9 - Pick 85 � QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pit/4 (ADP = 86) Rd 10 - Pick 96 - WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, Oak/5 (ADP = 103) Rd 11 - Pick 105 � WR Titus Young, Det/5 (ADP = 107) Rd 12 - Pick 116 � RB Rashad Jennings, Jac/6 (ADP = 117) Rd 13 - Pick 125 � TE Brent Celek, Phi/7 (ADP = 132) Rd 14 - Pick 136 � QB Alex Smith, SF/9 (ADP = 147) Rd 15 - Pick 145 � WR Brandon LaFell, Car/6 (ADP = 154) Rd 16 - Pick 156 � TE Kyle Rudolph, Min/11 (ADP = 165) Rd 17 - Pick 165 � WR Jerome Simpson, Min/11 (ADP = 179) Rd 18 - Pick 176 � Buffalo Defense (ADP = 180) / Best defense available Rd 19 - Pick 185 � Best kicker available Rd 20 - Pick 196 - QB Russell Wilson, Sea/11 (ADP = 199)

Pupils at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Keighley have produced a film.
The Capsule was being screened yesterday at the town's Picture House cinema, with a red carpet laid down for the children.
The Capsule was written, filmed and edited by year five pupils with the help of adults in the school's media club.
It was created over six weeks, starting with the crash landing of the capsule and the subsequent investigation by pupils.
The film was developed as part of the creative curriculum to provide students with a wide range of writing and other skills.
Head Sue Long said: "They have risen to the challenge of writing and producing a film to be shown at the Keighley Picture House cinema.
"The children have shown amazing talent and commitment and had fun in the process."

Happy Spring, Friends!
Felted eggs aren't just for Easter. A bowl full of colorful felted wool eggs also makes a beautiful centerpiece or decoration for the home. Wool eggs also make a great addition to a nature table, a child's play kitchen, and are fun for market play.
Are you an experienced felter? Have any tips to add? If you've never wet felted before, are you inspired to try?

3rd ave or wait for Alameda?
3rd ave. is going off right now but Alameda would be a better kiting experience. My family plans cancled and the wind is up!! Wahoo!!
Alameda was fun today.. I had a 45min session at Berkeley and came home and went out from my front door and had a better time than at berkely... With the newer big kites (CONTRA) riding in 12mph is about as fun as riding in 20 mph... Only real difference is the jump height...... These big kites turn pretty darn fast
I actualy ended up going to Alamea anyway. I rode Sherman Island yesterday so I wanted a melo session. I rode the 25 all day and it was fun under the sun!!!
you also missed a perfect day at 3rd! Went out on a 13 and it was fine up to 5pm. What a gorgeous day... The summer is here I would say.
Andy, I would like to give my new low wind sleepingbag foil (17) a direct comparison to the Contras. Hopefully see you out there soon.
Best, K
Ya, 3rd looked like it would have been good. I thought that Alameda would kick up and I coulc be closer to home. It kicked up enough to have a good powered session.

Tax issues, health insurance exchange keep lawmakers hopping
Taxes and a health insurance exchange were the main topics of discussion at Thursday's legislative breakfast.
Each Thursday members of the Bingham County legislative delegation speak with members of the community via Skype hookup. The Greater Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce sponsors the meeting at Stan's Restaurant.
Representatives Julie VanOrden and Neil Anderson are among 16 freshman members of the House who are encouraging Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter to include members of the Legislature on a proposed exchange oversight committee.
"Obamacare is going to require a Health Insurance Exchange to happen," Anderson said. He said the issue between accepting a federal exchange or creating one that is state-run is the question of having some control.
"In my mind, the better choice is to have a state exchange, one we have some control over," he said.
Lamar Hagar asked how a state exchange would allow more choice when Blue Cross/Blue Shield controls a large share of Idaho's insurance business.
Hagar suggested that company's lobbyists are strongly encouraging legislators to favor their employer.
"There are lobbyists from a lot of companies," Sen. Steve Bair said. "To think that (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) get preferential treatment is not correct."
An unidentified woman asked why Idaho can't exercise its 10th Amendment rights and nullify Obamacare.
"Gov. Otter tried that," Anderson said. "It seems to be a fact we need to live with. We've got to deal with what's forced on us."
Both Hagar and Blackfoot Mayor Mike Virtue asked about personal property taxes. Hagar asked why corporations are being asked to pay large amounts when large private landowners got relief a few years ago. Virtue asked about a proposal to lower that tax on corporations.
Bair said he voted against confirming Otter's choice of Joan Hurlock of Buhl as a member of the Idaho Fish and Game Commission.
He said he was among senators who met with her privately, trying to learn more about her background. The Senate rejected her 19-16.
"It was clear she didn't have the knowledge base and background to do the job well," Bair said.
Another question dealt with a change in weight limits for tractor-trailers. Idaho's limit is currently 105,000 pounds.
"This has come before the legislature several times," Bair said. "Many of the surrounding states have 129,000-pound limits."
Raising Idaho's would allow truckers to be more efficient with their loads, Bair said. He said a concern over increased wear on the state's roads and bridges doesn't appear to valid.

CANANDAIGUA � A trial is underway at Ontario County Courthouse for one of three defendants facing charges stemming from a house fire on Dec. 22, 2013. That blaze destroyed a 41 Saltonstall St. home �and damaged two adjacent structures.
On trial is Samuel F. Crawford, 33, of 2110 Route 21 in Canandaigua, who is charged with one count of third-degree arson for the fire at 41 Saltonstall St., two counts of fourth-degree arson for damage to adjoining properties, and attempted insurance fraud. All are felonies, said Ontario County First Assistant District Attorney Brian Dennis, the prosecuting attorney. Crawford also faces a conspiracy charge, a misdemeanor.
If convicted, Crawford could serve between seven-and-a-half to 15 years in state prison, Dennis said.
Facing identical charges and possible sentences in separate litigations are Crawford�s wife, Shallamar L. Hayward-Crawford, 29, of 2110 Route 21, and William Bradley Jr., 21, of 3773 Route 247, Canandaigua.
At the time of the fire�Canandaigua City Police Sgt. Scott Kadien said�Hayward-Crawford and Crawford � who are married and are the owners of the residence � allegedly committed the arson in an effort to receive proceeds from their insurance company. The couple allegedly approached Bradley, who was an acquaintance, and asked him to help with the arson, Kadien said.
Taking the witness stand at the start of the trial Tuesday were co-defendant William Bradley and his wife, Jessica Bradley; Canandaigua City Police Detective Daniel Visingard; a former tenant of 41 Saltonstall St.; and an Allstate special investigator of suspicious claims. Defense attorney Robert Tucker represented Crawford, with Judge Frederick G. Reed presiding.
William Bradley Jr. was the first to take the stand for the prosecution Tuesday morning, Dennis said. He was followed by Visingard, who testified that on Jan. 7, while he interviewed Crawford at his 2110 Route 21 home, Crawford told him that �he and his wife offered Bill Bradley $1,000 to start the fire.� When Visingard asked why, he testified Crawford�s response was, �It would have been one less payment for us.�
A digital recording of the formal interview that followed at the Canandaigua Police station captured a restatement of the confession, Visingard said. That video is expected to be played for the jury Wednesday morning, Dennis said.
Former 41 Saltonstall St. tenant Angel Madera then testified that on two occasions he heard Crawford complain about having to fix things at the rental home, and said he �wished the house would burn down.� Madera said another time he heard Crawford say he �wished he could take a match to it,� and that �we should just set this house on fire� because his wife �has insurance on it.�
Following Madera was Joseph Kuczkowski, a special investigator of suspicious claims at Allstate Insurance, who testified that Hayword-Crawford and Crawford had increased their insurance coverage of the home on Dec. 11, 2013, upping it from $100,000 to $180,000. The fire occurred on Dec. 22, 2013.
The last witness for the prosecution on Tuesday was Bradley�s wife, Jessica Bradley.
The trial is expected to conclude sometime today, with one further day for jury instructions and deliberations, Dennis said. Two more witnesses for the prosecution are expected to be called today, including city police Investigator Nate Lawrence, who spearheaded the investigation, and neighbors of 41 Saltonstall St.
It is unknown whether the defendant will testify on his own behalf today.
Crawford and Hayward-Crawford are currently being held in Ontario County Jail, Dennis said. Hayward-Crawford is scheduled for trial on Aug. 4. William Bradley Jr. has been released, following a guilty plea on all counts on Monday, July 13. Bradley is due to be sentenced on Sept. 3.
None of the three has any previous convictions for arson-related offenses, and Crawford was on New York state parole for an unrelated offense, according to Canandaigua Det. Sergeant Scott Kadien. Bradley did not receive payment from Crawford or Hayward-Crawford, Kadien said.

Free utility shows what your computer has been doing
Some suspicious computer users believe that, while they are away, others are accessing their computer, running unauthorized software or malware. Other wary users may find it interesting seeing what other people have done on a particular computer, what programs they may have run, what documents were viewed, and when the computer was booted and shut down. If a computer was infected by malware, it may often be of great interest to see what was being run on the computer at the time of infestation, and even identify the malware and its payload. This and more can be readily displayed by a tiny, free utility, LastActivityView.
LastActivityView is one of dozens of small free utilities published by a feisty software engineer, Nir Sofer, on his website at www.nirsoft.net. Sofer personally writes all of his own software in his spare time, and makes it available to all for free. Many of his utilities are given the highest ratings by a variety of Web services and computer publications; all of his software is free of advertising and other pesky irritants, making it popular among his huge and loyal user base. In his spare time, Nir personally maintains his website and updates his software, as well as creates new utilities. One of his newest titles, LastActivityView, has caught the attention of computer technicians, forensic experts, hobbyists, and others who really want to know what has really been running on a computer, and when the computer was accessed.
Windows users may be passively aware that their computers save extensive but often invisible files about what they have run; LastActivityView has the capability to read these historical files and display additional information about many of the computer's activities. On my primary computer, this record starts on the day it was manufactured, and documents everything that I have done since I first powered it on after removing it from its box. Every piece of software that I ever installed or uninstalled is listed, including date, time, description, filenames, path on the hard drive, and other information. Every boot, shutdown, crash, and other event was also duly recorded. In addition to simply displaying a huge file with all of my computing activities, LastActivityView also has the power to provide additional information for many of the items listed. LastActivityView also can display detailed information about program interactions, and conflicts that caused software and hardware crashes.
LastActivityView runs on any version of Windows since Windows 2000, and includes XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8; both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.

The Market History
Since 1783 the Lynchburg Community Market has played a key role in the development and growth of downtown Lynchburg. The first Lynchburg Community Market was located on Water Street (now known as Ninth Street) and was an important economic contributor to the growth of Lynchburg. The 1783 Market was an open-air market, and served as the central social gathering place for the city. As Lynchburg grew, the Market grew also, and was rebuilt in 1814 in the center of Water Street. The Market served as a town square for the community, with city-wide notices and speakers throughout the day and evening.
In 1872, the Market was enlarged and rebuilt on Main Street, between 11th and 12th Streets to better serve the growing population, which had grown rapidly due to the expansion of the railroad through Lynchburg. Completed in the fall of 1873, the new Market had enclosed spaces and an auditorium on site. Today, after many changes in building style and location, the Community Market and Armory stands on the corner of Main and 12th Streets, opening its doors on July 2, 1932. The market continued to play an important role in the community until the 1950's when community markets across the United States declined due to the growth of supermarkets and suburban development. In 1987, the Market went through its final architectural renovation to date, with landscaping, new parking outside Farmer's stalls.
With easy access to nearby neighborhoods, as well as visitors, the Market is an essential part of the revitalization of downtown. In the summer of 2004 various stakeholder groups, including City of Lynchburg staff, Lynch's Landing and Friends of the Community Market formed a task force to plan for the future of the Market. In July, the Project for Public Spaces (PPS), based in New York, came to evaluate the Market. The PPS group spent three days meeting with citizens, vendors and staff in a series of interviews and discussions. In early October they returned with their final report. Read the PPS Community Market Report.
The recommendations of the Community Market Task Force, approved by Council in February 2005, focused on improving the management of the market; converting the parking lot to a Market Square; renovating the interior of the market; and improving the merchandising and marketing of products and vendors.
In 2006, the City hired a local firm, Calloway Johnson Moore and West (CJMW), to provide architectural services for the design of the interior renovations and the Market Square. As part of the work, CJMW, enlisted the assistance of Market Ventures, Inc., to conduct market research, develop merchandising and design concepts, conduct a financial analysis of the market, and develop management and operations guidelines. This phase of the work resulted in a detailed redevelopment plan for the Community Market. There are several conclusions from the report that drive future design decisions.
