We recently completed our 14-team PPR mock draft. You can view the results here: http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fa
A user, David Lawrence from Tampa, asked if he could review the draft, so here is what he sent me. Enjoy.
When CBSSports.com recently conducted a 14-team PPR mock draft I decided to break it down to see if I could learn anything. I've been in a 14-team PPR league for years and find it interesting to see how the fantasy experts evaluate players and build a fantasy powerhouse.
You don't win at fantasy football by being lucky. You win by staying ahead of the curve.
For years, the gospel of fantasy football preached that your first two picks had to be running backs. While there are a handful of runners that you should take in the first round, more and more wide receivers and quarterbacks are showing up early on draft day.
In this mock draft, only Mike Freeman and Sergio Gonzalez stayed old school with RB/RB. Six teams began RB/WR, three teams RB/QB, two teams WR/RB, and just one team WR/WR. A total of ten receivers and three quarterbacks were selected in the first two rounds, while Dave Richards waited until round six to start looking for his RB2BC!
If you have never played in a PPR league this is a good tutorial. Last year, Adrian Peterson only finished ninth in my PPR league while Matt Forte, bolstered by his 63 pass receptions, was the top RB. DeAngelo Williams finished second, followed by Maurice Jones-Drew Thomas Jones and Michael Turner. Even though Steve Slaton was not the starter on opening day he still finished ahead of Peterson.
By the end of round three 17 receivers were off the board, so if you waited until the fourth round to address WR you were likely in trouble. On the other hand, every year there are receivers like Lance Moore and Antonio Bryant who go undrafted but quickly become fantasy must-starters.
I have highlighted everyone's first six picks so you can see how they attacked the draft. I will offer some analysis as we go along, so let's get started.
Here is the draft order.

Jamey took Maurice Jones-Drew with the first pick for good reason. MJD projects out to around 65 pass receptions, 1,700 total yards, and 15 touchdowns. He will probably be the top scoring RB in PPR formats.
With seven receivers already off the board by the time he picked again Jamey snagged Roddy White and Maurice Colston. Steve Smith was still available but last year White caught 88 passes for 1,387 yards and seven TDs. Colston, hampered by a thumb injury in 2008, caught 98 passes in 2007 for 1,200 yards and 11 TDs. Both have quarterbacks better than Jake Delhomme.
I like Derek Ward at the end of round four. Ward gained 1,000 yards and caught 41 passes for the Giants in part time duty, and Tampa Bay paid Ward millions of dollars to head their backfield. Even though he will split carries with Ernest Graham and Carnell Williams, I think Ward will emerge as the number one guy. At 5'11 and 233 pounds he should get his share of goal line carries and he his an effective receiver. The QB situation in Tampa Bay is murky and the Bucs will try to run the ball. A lot.
In round five Jamey drafted Donovan McNabb, the sixth QB taken. If he had waited until the sixth round for a QB he would have found slim pickings. The McNabb selection started a run on QBs with Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler, Matt Cassel, Carson Palmer, and Matt Hasslebeck all going before Jamey was up again.
Beanie Wells was a value pick in round seven. While there are lingering questions about his durability, Wells is penciled in as RB1 for Arizona, a team determined to run the ball more often and more effectively.
He tabbed Jeremy Shockey in the eleventh round, and when Shockey is good he is very good but he's usually hurt. Jamey could have found TE depth in the later rounds with Brent Celek, Heath Miller, or Zach Miller.

Jason made what appeared to be the obvious no-brainer choice of Adrian Peterson with his first pick. While AD is projected to amass around 2,000 yards of offense he usually comes off the field in passing situations. This is an obvious PPR liability. Last year, Peterson finished ninth in my league, but if he becomes more involved in the passing game, as indications suggest he might, his value will obviously soar in PPR formats.
Jason also went WR/WR with his next two picks, selecting Brandon Marshall and T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Marshall led the NFL in targets last year and his off-season hip surgery should be completely healed. New head coach and former Patriot OC Josh McDaniel has Marshall playing the part of 'Randy Moss' in the new offense, but also has Kyle Orton playing the role of Tom Brady. Houshmandzadeh caught at least 90 passes in each of the three past seasons and will soon be Matt Hasslebeck's new best friend in Seattle. Even with Carson Palmer missing most of last season, T.J. still caught 92 balls.
In the fourth round Jason took TE Tony Gonzalez. With Jason Witten and Dallas Clark already gone, he had to choose between Gonzo and Antonio Gates. Young Falcon QB Matt Ryan will only get better and Gonzalez caught a jaw dropping 96 passes and scored 10 touchdowns in Kansas City last year.
Jason then took Kurt Warner in the fifth round, and while some may question Warner's ability to remain healthy, he will be throwing to three quality receivers who each gained over 1,000 yards last year.
Waiting until the sixth round for his RB2 might have paid off. Cedric Benson was a bust with the Bears but finished strongly for the Bengals and was rewarded with a two-year contract. He is definitely a sleeper but now seems willing to work hard and get along with teammates. He would be a stretch in earlier rounds but a good pick here.
Jason then took Leon Washington, the little guy who makes big plays. He will be more involved in the Jets' offense this year and is a good receiver out of the backfield.
By drafting Josh Morgan in round eight Jason missed out on Chester Taylor, a mandatory handcuff for ding prone Peterson owners. Taylor caught 45 passes last year and is capable of starting if Peterson misses games.

Matt Forte was a solid pick in the third slot and was the number one running back in my PPR league last year. Jay Cutler should force defenses to loosen up but the Chicago offense hasn't changed. They Bears may get Kevin Jones more involved so Ross wisely spent his 13th pick on the handcuff. The Bears don't have a Brandon Marshall type receiver and Forte is arguably their most reliable receiver, catching 63 of his 76 targets. Don't sweat the 3.9 yards per carry average last year. Forte will still get 1,200 yards, a ton of catches, and the ball at the goal line.
With Tom Brady and Drew Brees off the board Ross grabbed Peyton Manning with his second selection. Four WRs, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, went before Ross picked again.
Sitting at the 3.3 spot, with 12 receivers already gone, I think he made a mistake by passing on Steve Smith in favor of Ronnie Brown. With Forte and Manning already on board, Smith would have given Ross three key players at RB/QB/WR to build around. While Brown may have a great season, Smith will probably outscore him. Brown scored 233 points last year in my PPR league, while Smith scored 269 despite missing two games. There's also a slim chance that Brown would have available in the next round.
Ross waited too long to address wide receiver and his next three picks were Hines Ward, DeSean Jackson, and Donald Driver. Ward led Pittsburgh with 81 balls, 1,000 yards and seven TDs, but he finished 17th in my league and Santonio Holmes should eat into those numbers. Driver has been a great pro but he isn't getting any better. In 2008 he caught 74 passes for just over 1,000 yards and five touchdowns. Jackson has the most upside of the three. He emerged as McNabb's favorite target but he also dropped nine balls. He will probably catch 75 passes for around a thousand yards and seven or eight touchdowns.
Getting Ray Rice in the seventh round was a good pick. Although the Ravens backfield is crowded Rice is the most explosive. The Ravens rushed an average of 37 times a game in 2008 and Rice has the best hands in the backfield. As a rookie, he caught 33 passes, same as Ronnie Brown.
I like Lance Moore in the ninth round if he remains the Saints' WR2. He caught eight of his ten touchdown passes last year with Colston on the field. Although Moore has Robert Meachum breathing down his neck, he has a one-year contract and plenty of motivation to improve on last year's 79 balls for 928 yards and ten TDs.

4. Brian Jones, CBS College Sports Football Analyst
Taking Michael Turner with the fourth pick was a solid choice. Even though he only caught six passes last year he tied for fourth in scoring among RBs in my PPR league. Atlanta may lighten his load this year – he carried 376 times last season – but he's still the goal line guy and may actually improve on his 17 TDs. Brian passed on Andre Johnson, Steve Slaton and Larry Fitzgerald, but Turner is a good pick.
In the second round Brian grabbed Drew Brees, the highest scoring player in my PPR league last year but the second QB taken in this draft. Brees should continue to pile up monster numbers because the Saints' defense isn't much better and he will be throwing early and often. Brian passed up some good receivers but it worked out for him.
Christmas arrived when Steve Smith was available in round three. Personally, I can't believe there are 12 WRs in fantasy football better than Smith, or in the NFL either for that matter. Other WRs available included Dwayne Bowe, Terrell Owens, and Santonio Holmes.
The fourth round brought Thomas Jones who actually tied Michael Turner in my PPR league for RB scoring last season. While the Jets drafted his eventual successor and Leon Washington will steal touches, Jones represents potential value at this point of the draft. Last year Jones gained 1,300 yards, averaged 4.5 yards per carry, scored 15 touchdowns, and caught 36 passes. With the Jets unsure at quarterback they'll have to run heavy offense.
Landing Darren Sproles in the seventh round brought an exciting player who can at least cover bye weeks, and also prevented Eric from picking LTs handcuff!

5. Peter Madden, Editorial Director, Fantasy Sports
Peter went WR/WR with his first two picks and landed two studs, Andre Johnson and Anquan Boldin. Johnson put up sick numbers last year, 115 catches for 1,431 yards and 8 touchdowns. In my PPR last year he lead all receivers in scoring and finished sixth overall. Boldin, despite missing four games with a broken face, still caught 89 balls for 1,265 yards and 11 TDs. A powerful WR tandem few teams can match.
Pierre Thomas represents good value in the third round. He replaces McAllister in the New Orleans offense and averaged 4.8 ypc last season. He was the 17th RB taken but has the potential to finish in the top ten.
Peter landed two more RBs in the next two rounds with LenDale White and Willy Parker. White is the TD machine in Tennessee and has slimmed down for his contract year. Parker was limited by injuries in 08 and has competition in the backfield. By taking Parker, Peter passed on Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, and Jay Cutler.
It may have worked out because in the sixth round he took Matt Hasslebeck, the 14th QB off the board. Hasslebeck is healthy again, will love throwing to T.J. Houshmadzadeh, and could surprise a lot of people this year. However, Seattle will try running the ball more often which may limit Hasslebeck's potential. He claims to be recovered from back problems and in 2007 completed 352 passes for 3,966 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Peter then picked Ted Ginn, Jr. in round seven and Seattle's second best receiver, TE John Carlson, in round eight.

Dave picked Steve Slaton with his first pick, a guy I'm very high on. (Steve, not Dave.) Slaton wasn't the starter on opening day, but when injuries opened the door for him he stormed through averaging 4.8 ypc. Slaton carried 268 times for 1,282 yards for nine touchdowns and added 50 catches for 377 yards and another score. He had nine games over 100 total yards and finished with a strong December. I could make a case for taking him over Jones-Drew in PPR formats but that's another article. Okay, one point: Houston has a passing game to keep defenses honest, Jacksonville doesn't.
In the second round Dave grabbed Greg Jennings, a solid receiver who exploded last year in his third season. He caught 80 passes for 1292 yards and 9 TDs and signed a rich contract extension in the off-season. Other receivers available here: Anquan Boldin, Roddy White, and Steve Smith. I like the pick because, all things being equal, Jennings has a better quarterback than Smith or White and played in all 16 games. Boldin didn't.
He then picked Phillip Rivers in the third round. Following Brian's strategy of RB/QB/WR, Dave has a solid corpse of top five fantasy performers to build around. Rivers completed 312 passes for 4,009 yards and 34 TDs last year. He could have taken Aaron Rogers instead but I consider those two pretty equal. Rodgers completed 341 passes for 4038 yards and 32 scores. The deciding factor could have been their home field playing conditions in December.
He then made Dallas Clark the second TE off the board with the fourth pick. With Harrison retired and Gonzalez moving to the outside, Clark will line up in the slot. It might say 'Tight End' in the program but Clark could equal or surpass his numbers from last year, 77 passes, 848 yards, and six TDs. Another top five performer at his position.
Lee Evans arrived in the fifth round and should benefit from Terrell Owens drawing double coverage. Dave passed on Marshawn Lynch and filled out his running back slots with Jonathan Stewart, Donald Brown, and Tim Hightower.
It appears that Dave will experiment with the avant-garde RB2BC!

7. Michael Hurcomb, Fantasy Writer
Michael was the third person to open with RB/WR/WR and selected Frank Gore in the first round. Gore may rebound this season but I think he's a reach here. He may have still been on the board in round two and Michael passed up Larry Fitzgerald, Chris Johnson and LT. Rookie Glen Coffee will steal carries, but San Francisco is committed to a power running attack and Gore could regain some of his old magic.
In round two Michael picked Wes Welker, a PPR stud and New England's favorite target. In 2007, Welker caught 112 passes for 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns. Without Brady in 2008, however, he posted almost identical numbers. Only his TDs took a hit, dropping from eight to three. Other receivers available included Greg Jennings, Anquan Boldin, and Roddy White.
Dwayne Bowe represents great value in the third round. Bowe followed up his 70-catch rookie campaign with 80 balls last year for 1,022 yards and seven touchdowns. He is entering his third year and Matt Cassel will be gunning for him constantly with Kansas City introducing yet another new defense yet still firmly committed to surrendering touchdowns.
Michael took Joseph Addai in round four to round out his backfield. Addai seems committed to becoming an effective runner once again but the Colts drafted Donald Brown in the first round to split carries. Addai battled injuries last year and tried to run behind a beat up offensive line. If he bounces back this pick represents tremendous value.
In round five, with the WR talent pool evaporating quickly, Michael drafted Braylon Edwards who disappointed everyone last season. In 2007 he played liked Superman, snagging 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 TDs. Last season he looked like Clark Kent and struggled with drops. He only caught 55 passes for 877 yards, and five TDs. He always played well on Monday Night Football but the 2009 Browns are not ready for prime time. On the plus side, Michael has a WR3 with the ability to post elite numbers, and with Winslow gone the passes have to go somewhere.
Round six landed Carson Palmer, another player looking to rebound. If his elbow is completely healed he could return to more Palmer-like numbers: 350 completions, 4,000 yards, and 28 touchdowns. At this point in the draft it was a gamble worth taking. Other QBs available included Matt Hasslebeck and Eli Manning.
Seventh round pick Owen Daniels posted a solid 70-catch campaign last year for Houston and was the eighth TE taken. It would be nice if he were targeted more frequently in the red zone.

8. Lauren Shehadi, CBSSports.com Video Host
It can be tricky drafting in the eight spot of a 14-team league because you there are few 'no-brainer' picks, but Lauren found quality players falling to her.
DeAngelo Williams was a solid first choice and was the second highest scoring RB in my PPR league last year. While he may not score 20 touchdowns again and isn't much of a pass receiver, he is still RB1 for a Carolina team committed to running the ball. Jonathan Stewart will get his share of carries but Williams is John Fox's bell cow. Other players available: Larry Fitzgerald, LT, and Calvin Johnson but the move paid off handsomely.
With four receivers off the board before Lauren's next pick she still landed Randy Moss. He caught only 69 passes and scored 11 TDs last year, but his numbers this season should more closely resemble 2007 when he caught 98 passes for 1,500 yards, and 23 TDs.
In round three she took Terrell Owens who signed a one-year contract in Buffalo. Owens usually does well in his first year with a new team and will probably catch around 85 passes for 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns. Not a bad WR2. Other receivers available included Chad Ochocinco, Eddie Royal, and Roy Williams.
Three good selections so far but she may have separated herself from pack in the fourth round with the 20th RB in draft, Ryan Grant. Hampered last year by the mandatory injury following a lengthy training camp holdout, Grant had a disappointing season. And by disappointing I mean just 1,203 yards and five touchdowns. The Packers haven't made a serious move to replace him and he is dedicated to redeeming himself. It's the sort of pick you can look back upon after a championship season and say, "Right there – that's where I won it all."
She then selected Tony Romo with her fifth pick, although you could argue that Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler, Matt Cassel, or Carson Palmer might put up better numbers. While Romo has thrown 78 TD passes in 39 career starts, he tends to kill fantasy teams, not to mention the Cowboys, in December.
Snagging Chris Cooley was a value pick in the sixth round if he remembers how to find the end zone. He is a dependable receiver and you can almost pencil him in for 75 balls and half a dozen TDs. By taking Cooley, however, she missed out on Jonathan Stewart, a goal line vulture and the Williams' handcuff.
With her next two picks she landed a ton of potential with Felix Jones and Percy Harvin. Jones is a dynamic runner but he'll have to fight for the ball in Dallas. Still, on just 30 carries last season, before pulling a hamstring, he averaged 8.9 yards a carry..
Harvin is a home run hitter with double take speed but arrived in Minnesota with character issues. If he can shed the baggage he has the talent to become the offensive rookie of the year. Yes, I believe he's that good and the Vikings are lining him up all over the field to get him the ball in a variety of ways.
In the ninth round she drafted Chester Taylor, a reliable back who averaged 4.0 yards per carry, caught 45 passes for 400 yards, and scored six TDs. Lauren also prevented Jason from landing Adrian Peterson's handcuff.

9. Ian Melmood, Fantasy Writer
Ian took Larry Fitzgerald with his first pick, the consensus number one receiver many drafts but the second receiver off the board. Last year he caught 96 passes for 1434 yards and 12 TDs and almost single handedly won the Super Bowl for Arizona. Great start.
By taking Fitzgerald he passed on Steven Jackson, Chris Johnson, and LaDanianTomlinson, but Ian landed Brian Westbrook in the second round. Westbrook turns 30 this year but he's still the motor that powers the Eagles' offense. In the past three seasons Westbrook has averaged 250 carries, 73 pass receptions, and 12 TDs. Since Westbrook tends to get beat up every year, Ian wisely grabbed handcuff LeSean McCoy in round eight. It must have crossed his mind to snag Randy Moss, who fell in this draft, instead of Westbrook. I would have thought hard about lining up both Moss and Fitzgerald.
In the third round he took Reggie Bush who is battling knee problems but scores a ton of points in PPR formats. I would have considered Darren McFadden or Ryan Grant here, but when Bush is on the field Brees will feed him the ball.
I wasn't crazy about Jerricho Cotchery in round four. Without Laveranues Coles or a clear-cut QB in New York, I downgraded his value. I would have gone with Hines Ward, DeSean Jackson, or Lee Evans. He also could have taken Ryan Grant for running back depth.
In the fifth round, Matt Schaub was selected in the middle of a QB run, and then he picked up TE Greg Olson in round six.
Ian drafted Nate Washington in round nine for a sneaky pick that I believe will pay off. Washington gives Tennessee a legitimate deep threat, the only glaring weakness last year in an otherwise potent offense.

Jeff selected Reggie Wayne in the first round, a safe receiver who lines up every week. Wayne finished last season with 82 balls, 1,145 yards, but only five touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald was taken with the previous pick but Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss were both available. Wayne was the conservative choice.
In the second round Jeff went with second year running back Kevin Smith. In five of his last seven games Smith had 20 or more carries, averaged 94 yards, and scored three touchdowns. New head coach Jim Swartz brings a run-first Titan inspired offense that should bode well for Smith. His finished his first year in the league, playing for an 0 – 16 team, with 238 carries, 976 yards, 39 receptions, and eight TDs. Other RBs available included Brian Westbrook, Pierre Thomas, and Ronnie Brown.
Jeff then tabbed Vincent Jackson in the third round, a wide receiver that, for some odd reason, is ranked ahead of Marques Colston and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in some preseason polls. Other WRs available here included Eddie Royal, Santonio Holmes, and Roy Williams. 2008 was a career year for the nine-year veteran: 59 passes for 1,098 yards and five TDs. His role in the offense seemed to increase following injuries to Tomlinson, Gates, and Chambers, but he is a legitimate deep threat and Phillip Rivers can throw long.
In the fourth round Jeff grabbed Larry Johnson, a one-time fantasy stud who turns 30 in November. While he may still have some gas in the tank, Kansas City has a terrible defense trying to learn yet another new system. The Chiefs will be playing from behind frequently this season which could limit his carries.
Jeff then picked Matt Ryan over Jay Cutler, Matt Cassel, and Carson Palmer. While Ryan played very well for a rookie his numbers don't exactly jump off the page: 265 of 434, 3,440 yards, 17 TDs. Atlanta had the second best running attack in the NFL last year so they seldom had to throw the ball, but if the Falcons try to balance their attack Ryan's numbers would obviously improve.
Devin Hester was Jeff's pick in the sixth round. In Hester's first full season as a receiver he caught 51 passes for 665 yards and three touchdowns. Cutler can throw the ball a mile which seems like the makings of a dynamic passing duo. With defenses stacked to stop Matt Forte there should be plenty of acreage in the secondary.

11. Scott White, Fantasy Writer
Drafting Steven Jackson is a big gamble. While he played in every game as a rookie he has been plagued by various leg and back injuries over the next two seasons. Scott could have gone with Chris Johnson, Tomlinson, Calvin Johnson, or Randy Moss. Jackson could thrive in the new Eagle inspired offense, where he will play the role of Brian Westbrook, and he Jackson is probably the best receiver on the team, a big plus in PPR formats. Staying healthy is the big 'If.'
While Calvin Johnson could be considered first round talent in 14-team PPR leagues and ranks as high as the third best receiver in some preseason polls, Scott was able to draft him in the second. At 6'5 and 239 pounds Johnson is entering his third year fully capable of improving on last year's 78 catch, 1,331 yard, and 12 TD performance. The emergence of RB Kevin Smith will help even more.
Scott's third pick landed top rated TE Jason Witten who last year caught 81 balls for 952 yards and four TDs. Since the Cowboys shuffled Owens out of town Witten may see his targets actually increase.
Eddie Royal was taken in the fourth round and could easily improve on his rookie performance last year of 91 receptions, 980 yards, and five TDs. New head coach Josh Freeman will run a version of the Patriots' offense in Denver with Royal playing the part of Wes Welker. Think about that for a while.
Scott then selected Marshawn Lynch with his fifth pick and spent his seventh on Lynch's handcuff, Fred Jackson. Lynch will serve a three game suspension but there is little drop off with Jackson. That can be viewed as either good or bad.
In between the Buffalo picks Scott drafted Matt Cassel in the sixth round. Other quarterbacks available here included Jay Cutler, Carson Palmer, and Eli Manning. He may have benefited from the system in New England, but his defense will give up points and he'll being throwing 40 passes a game.
He then picked Donnie Avery, the first WR taken in the 2008 draft. In round 12 he grabbed Kevin Faulk, New England' designated third down pass receiver. With any luck, he'll have his game of the year when he's covering your bye week.

12. Mike Freeman, CBSSports.com National Columnist
Mike picked Chris Johnson with his first selection, a runner with blazing speed and elusiveness. He was single-handedly killing the Ravens in their playoff game last year until he was injured. Without him, Tennessee imploded and lost the game. Johnson averaged 4.9 ypc in his rookie campaign and finished with 1,228 yards, 43 pass receptions, and 10 touchdowns. LenDale White is the designated goal line back but Johnson can score from anywhere on the field.
If Mike had drafted Randy Moss next he would have been sitting pretty, but instead went for Brandon Jacobs. Without Derek Ward stealing carries Jacobs could get more work, but the Giants are committed to RBBC. On the other hand, he missed three games last year and still scored 15 touchdowns.
He then picked Aaron Rodgers who finished as the third highest overall scorer in my league. Available receivers here included Roy Williams, Chad 85, Antonio Bryant, and Eddie Royal. Taking Rodgers was smart. The next QB taken was McNabb at the start of round five.
In the fourth round he chose Antonio Bryant over Eddie Royal, then filled out his receiver spots with Coles and Berrian. In the seventh round he shrewdly drafted the second most dangerous Giant RB and Jacobs' handcuff, Ahmad Bradshaw.
He waited until the 14th round for a TE but found a sleeper I like very much, Brent Celek. McNabb likes to throw to tight ends and Celek showed in the playoff loss to Arizona that he can post monster numbers.

Sergio selected Marion Barber over Tomlinson with his first pick, and also passed on Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Calvin Johnson. Barber only averaged 3.7 ypc and scored nine touchdowns last year, and will surrender more carries this season to Felix Jones.
He filled out his backfield with Clinton Portis but missed out on a stud WR. Portis is the clear cut RB1 in Washington and a reliable fantasy starter but I would have taken Moss or Calvin Johnson.
Sergio then picked Roy Williams and Santonio Holmes in the next two rounds but was still able to draft Antonio Gates near the end of round five. Gates saw his numbers slip last year but should rebound this season. Gates was the fourth TE drafted and a steal in the fifth round.
He selected Jay Cutler over Matt Cassel and Carson Palmer, but I could argue that either QB could be more valuable. The Bears are a run first team, and even if they try to balance their attack Cassel and Palmer will be throwing the ball more often. Sergio then took Kevin Walter, the other receiver in Houston, to fill out his WR slots.
Outside of Gates, it's hard to project any other player scoring in the top five at his position. That being said, Sergio probably made all the right moves and picked the highest scoring team.

14. Eric Mack, Senior Fantasy Writer
The dreaded 14th pick in a 14-team draft can be a real challenge. You have to do your homework because sometimes you just have to rely so much on players with potential. Not surprisingly, Eric put together a team with a ton of upside.
LaDainian Tomlinson, who looked down right mortal last season, was available and Eric wisely grabbed him with the first pick. While LT turned 30 in June I believe reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated. He seems determined to have a great season, but sometimes the mind may be willing but the flesh is weak.
Eric then took Tom Brady who seems recovered from knee surgery and ready to light up the opposing defenses once again. If there were any doubts about Brady's health I doubt the Pats would have traded away Matt Cassel. Drew Brees was also available here.
With his next two picks he took Darren McFadden and Chad Ochocinco. Last year McFadden showed glimpses of elite talent but injuries turned his rookie season into a nightmare. He still averaged 4.4 ypc and is a good receiver and, if he stays healthy, could possibly have a great campaign.
And speaking of 'if,' Chad 85 returns to the Bengals with a new attitude and a healthy Carson Palmer. If he can remember how to perform at an elite level and Palmer is really 100%, Chad could surprise a lot of people, especially me.
Eric rounded out his receiver corpse with Santana Moss and Anthony Gonzalez. Moss improved his numbers last year despite a lackluster passing attack in Washington and Gonzalez takes over for Marvin Harrison in Indianapolis.
His next pick was spent on Steve Breaston, who, as a rookie last year, gained over 1,000 as the Cardinals' WR3. He also filled in admirably when Boldin missed time and could see his role in this offense expanded. Jerious Norwood will see more action if Atlanta is serious about lightening Michael Turner's workload.

Today, the plague-causing bacteria are still circulating in the world. It is held at bay by sanitation measures and drug treatment.
Plague is now rare, with fewer than 15 infections annually in the United States. The number of cases outside the United States is significantly larger, but not precisely known. Plague therefore remains of scientific interest for several reasons.
The Yersinia survival strategy against the programmed death that could kill it and its host cell may offer ideas for vaccine development, Cookson said. At present, no vaccine exists against the plague. Yesinia is of concern as a potential biological warfare pathogen because it can be aerosolized and unsuspectingly breathed into the lungs. Vaccines are being sought to offer widespread public safety, as are methods for enhancing people's overall infection-fighting capacity.
Yersinia's techniques for modulating an inflammatory response also offer scientists an overarching perspective on a fundamental aspect of a variety of important diseases.
"Many medical problems stem from too much or too little inflammatory reaction," Cookson said. People who launch an insufficient inflammatory response, or whose inflammatory response is suppressed by medications, are prone to viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
"On the other hand, excessive or improperly regulated inflammatory responses are responsible for a large number of chronic conditions," Cookson said. These include vascular flare-ups leading to stroke or heart attack, and autoimmune diseases, among them lupus, juvenile diabetes, ulcerative colitis and myasthenia gravis. Severe injury also can promote life-threatening lung inflammation.
Additionally, plague isn't the only pathogen to enhance its virulence by sidestepping the inflammatory cell death program. Several other dangerous germs do the same, but in different ways.

DC Power Plant Continues to Burn Coal, Environmentalists Fume
Posted By Adan On January 29, 2013 @ 11:54 am In Hot News,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Kerry Picket
January 29, 2013
Washington, DC local residents and environmentalists gathered at a meeting room in a Methodist Church on Capitol Hill last Thursday to discuss their dissatisfaction with the Capitol Hill cogeneration plant.
The plant, which was completely coal fired for almost one hundred years, exclusively heats the capitol. However, since 2007, according to the Architect of the Capitol (AOC), the plant began to move from burning primarily coal to burning mostly natural gas–but not entirely. Coal is still burned at the plant, but the rate of its reduction is not fast enough for local environmentalists and lawmakers.
In March of 2009, anti-coal protesters blocked the gates of the nearly century old Capitol Power Plant for nearly four hours. No one was arrested. By May of that year, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D – CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – NV) announced that the plant would switch over to natural gas as its sole energy source. The promise was made in large part as an effort from Democrats to limit carbon emissions in the nation's capitol.

Gilbert found that one-third of cells grown on the muscle-mimicking substrate expressed a muscle-stem-cell-specific gene (indicating that at least one of the two cells was a stem cell) but that only 6 percent of those grown on the plastic surface did so. Furthermore, when Gilbert transplanted five doublets (for a total of 10 cells) into mice from the muscle-mimicking substrate, the cells made themselves at home and began to contribute to muscle fiber development in three of 12 recipient animals. When she repeated the experiment with doublets grown on hard surfaces, none of the animals demonstrated similar engraftment.
"Clearly the cells grown on the more-elastic surfaces have better survival and self-renewing properties than those grown on standard tissue culture dishes," said Blau. "We conducted our experiments with muscle stem cells, but I expect this will be true for other types of adult stem cells as well."
In addition to exploring this possibility in the future, the researchers will also investigate how their findings may help advance therapies for conditions like muscular dystrophy. "Researchers really had no way to grow these cells in the laboratory before," said Blau. "These findings may allow us one day to replenish the muscles of patients with muscular dystrophy and other muscle-wasting diseases with healthy stem cells."

AR-67 is a novel, third-generation camptothecin analogue that has demonstrated high potency in preclinical studies and improved pharmacokinetic properties, as demonstrated by the increased stability of the active lactone form of AR-67 in blood samples. Preclinical studies and preliminary Phase I data confirm that AR-67 maintains a greater proportion of drug in the active lactone form as compared with approved second-generation products, a characteristic that Arno believes may translate to superior clinical activity. Moreover, the potential for oral administration may increase patient convenience. A Phase I clinical study of AR-67 in patients with advanced solid tumors is currently ongoing. Multiple Phase II studies are planned for initiation in 2008 in a variety of cancers, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.
AR-12 is a PDK-1 inhibitor that targets the Akt pathway while also possessing activity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and other pathways targeting apoptosis. Preclinical data have demonstrated that AR-12 has activity in a wide range of tumor types and shows promising activity in combination with several widely used anti-cancer agents including Avastin(R), Herceptin(R), Gleevec(R), Tarceva(R) and tamoxifen.
AR-42 is a targeted inhibitor of the Pan-DAC and Akt pathways. In preclinical studies, AR-42 has demonstrated greater potency and a competitive profile in tumors when compared with vorinostat (SAHA), the leading marketed histone deacetylase inhibitor. Arno plans to initiate Phase I studies of AR-42 and AR-12 in early 2009.

RYE, N.Y., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Joan Fallon, founder and CEO of Curemark, LLC, (www.curemark.com), a drug research and development company focused on the treatment of neurological diseases, presented at the Keystone Symposia meeting, Toward Defining the Pathophysiology of Autistic Behavior, held in April in Snowbird, Utah.
Fallon presented on "The Role of Protein Assimilation and Utilization in Children with Autism." She discussed Curemark's research exploring a possible link between a lack of protein-digesting enzymes in autistic children, necessary for the production of amino acids needed for brain function, and the symptoms of autism.
"The Keystone Symposia meeting provided an excellent forum to share our research with others in the scientific community who are attempting to understand the physiological causes of autism and working to develop possible therapies," Fallon said.
Curemark is in the midst of Phase III clinical trials for CM-AT, its autism treatment targeted as enzyme replacement therapy. CM-AT recently was designated as a Fast Track drug by the F

Today's Game
TV: Channel 13
Radio: KIRO (710 AM)
Injury Report
Seahawks: Doubtful: CB Marcus Trufant (high ankle sprain) and WR D.J. Hackett (sprained right ankle). Questionable: WR Darrell Jackson (turf toe). Probable: LB Marquis Cooper (head).
Bears: Questionable: FB Jason McKie (ankle) and CB Charles Tillman (back).
Little-Known Fact
Only three times since 1996 has an NFC team failed to win a home playoff game after a bye week. The St. Louis Rams lost to Carolina in 2003, while the Bears have lost at home twice: in 2001 and 2005.
Stars to Watch
Seahawks: QB Matt Hasselbeck has a 3-3 record as a postseason starter, giving him more playoff wins than any other NFC quarterback whos still playing. RB Shaun Alexander has played in five postseason games, but hes only had one 100-yard rushing performance. LB Julian Peterson had a career-high nine sacks during the regular season. MLB Lofa Tatupu led the Seahawks with 123 tackles this season.
Bears: RB Cedric Benson rushed for a season-high 109 yards in the regular-season finale. WR Muhsin Muhammad had a team-high 60 receptions during the regular season. Pro Bowl LB Brian Urlacher had a team-best 185 tackles this season. KR Devin Hester had six return touchdowns during the regular season.
Key Matchup
The obvious matchup involves Bears QB Rex Grossman, but Chicago has won even when he struggles. As strange as it sounds, returner Devin Hester has been as much of a factor in the Bears success as Chicagos quarterback has.
Punter Ryan Plackemeier, who is a rookie like Hester, has shown impressive leg strength this season, but his job today will be to keep the ball away from Chicagos Pro Bowl return man. If Plackemeier gives Hester a chance, the elusive rookie is apt to turn it into a big play and maybe even his seventh touchdown of the year.
Hester has scored in two of Grossmans worst games, both of which resulted in Chicago victories. So this week, special teams looks like it could be more than one-third of the game.
Breaking Down the Game
The first game between these two teams was so one-sided that oddsmakers have placed a 9 ½-point spread in Chicagos favor this time around. The good news is that the Seahawks probably wont lose by 31 points again. The bad news is that they probably wont win the game.
The October result a 37-6 Chicago win could work in Seattles favor in that the Seahawks have had more than three months to make adjustments. While the Bears are likely to use a similar game plan if it works, why fix it? the Seahawks know what to expect.
Seattle also has several pieces that were missing in the first meeting, including running back Shaun Alexander and Jerramy Stevens. Chicago, meanwhile, is without defensive starters Tommie Harris and Mike Brown. Those factors should be enough to keep the Seahawks within striking distance.
Will they be enough for the Seahawks to pull the upset and go to a second consecutive NFC Championship game? Probably not.

From what I understand, even when data is overwritten on disk there is a possibility of it being recovered. From what I also understand, replacing/deleting a LUKS key is fast/trivial and does not lead to all the data being rewritten. This suggests to me that there is an important "secondary key" somewhere in the header, which further suggests that if a key has been compromised and replaced, but an attacker can recover a PREVIOUS state of the LUKS header that used that key, they could still access the data. Am I wrong or is this a security concern?
The short answer: This is a security concern if you fail to maintain physical control over your media and/or choose poor pass-phrases.
Longer answer:
If an attacker gains access to the hard drive at time A, duplicates it, and compromises the key as it was at time A, then all of the data that was present at time A is compromised (but you knew that part).
To the best of my knowledge there is a 'master key' that each passphrase will give you access to. Further, there is no way I could find to easily change the master key without creating a whole new partition for the new master key (it would be hard to do even if it were possible).
What this means is that unless you wipe the hard drive and start over between times A and B then the attacker who compromised the key as it was at time A, and who also gains access to the same drive at time B, has access to the data as it is at time B.
User education and proper response to security threats. If your user loses control of encrypted media and then regains control of it later, you need them to tell you about it, and you need to wipe the machine and re-encrypt it using a different pass-phrase.
Also, count the information that was on the laptop (at time A) as lost or potentially lost if there is any chance that a sophisticated attacker gained access to it and the pass-phrase isn't quite strong.

ADVANCE COPY from the February 3, 2003 issue: Why we owe a debt to our friends the French.
Feb 3, 2003, Vol. 8, No. 20 • By ROBERT KAGAN and WILLIAM KRISTOL
And it isn't even about multilateralism. As Powell points out, and as we and others have pointed out many times, with or without a U.N. Security Council Resolution, the United States will not "go it alone" in Iraq. When the president announces that the United States is going to war, and the attack begins, the United States will have many allies indeed: in addition to the nations already mentioned, Arab states like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and probably others. Australia has already begun sending troops, even though the Australians live thousands of miles away from the zone of crisis.
We would prefer it if France and Germany also joined forces with the United States in common defense of international security. We would prefer it if the U.N. Security Council supported war against Saddam. But most of all we want to see the United States and a coalition of willing partners take the action necessary to defend and preserve international security. The international situation has clarified. The case against Saddam is clear-cut. The Bush administration is, finally, united around the need for military action. Now the president, who has led us to this point, can give the word.

Easy filing for multi-memeber LLC's
program asks the needed questions
i was surprised the state return was not incl.
Model Number:
Business Corp, Partnerships and LLC's
very easy setup by asking Questions offering options as you start the process.Partners are defined by percentage ownership and the program walks you thru all the necessary steps. It offers to import your Quickbooks data but I did not always have the catagories defined so it was easier for me to input the income and expense separetly. When done, the K-1 forms werre easily emailed to the partenrs

5 stars for Costco for selling this at a very good price. But only 4 stars (even 3 I would say) for the product, for just one reason: It seems it is the only Turbotax that does not work on Macs. We have to go back and forth to our office where we have the only surviving PC of the family.
I would also combine it on one CD with Home, the same way Home+Sole Proprietorship are together.

For the do-it-yourselfer in tax prep
detailed and easy to use
expense but better and cheaper than cpa's
I have used this TT Business software for two "estates" which each required a tax return. Includes a great interview that walks you through the maze and prepares not only the 1041 but also includes K-1 forms for the distribution of income out of the estate and to the beneficiaries. As with all TT versions, it's best to buy the CD and use it on your PC instead of the online version.

Good Product and Can Save Money
step by step instructions/guidance
error checking
Model Number:
Turbo Tax Business - Federal + E-file
I have used TurboTax Business Federal + E-file for our two small SubS corporations for the past 4 years. It does require an investment in time to complete (it takes me about 1 to 2 hours for each corporation), but the software steps you through everything.
Some matters are a bit confusing (most likely because US tax codes are confusing). I would then pose a question to the electronic "online community" within the program and would get suggestions from some pros or other users within minutes if the question had previously been answered or possibly a day if the answer is a little more involved. Also, I find that each year, using TurboTax is easier, because I'm becoming more accustomed to using the software.
I formerly had our CPA do our tax returns, and even though the accountant said our books were in great shape, he would charge a lot to complete our returns. Now, with some time and effort on my part, I save a ton of money in accounting fees.
I would have given this product 5 stars if telephone support was offered by Intuit, the makers of TurboTax.

Turbo Tax Business
Model Number:
Turbo Tax Business (Corporations, Partnerships & LLCs)
I used to hire an accountant to prepare this form for my small C corporation that hasn't made much money for ten years.
Then I would still have to prepare the 1099's and either order the 1099's from IRS or buy them at the office supply store. I used Turbo Tax Business (Corporations, Partnerships & LLCs) in 2011 and I thought it was pretty darn slick.

An update on G+ for businesses - includes latest stats and how to measure ROI on the social network.
Facebook recently announced it has hit a billion active users, while niche social networks Instagram and Pinterest as well as China's Weibo are vying for attention from brand marketers. How is Google+ making its social network relevant for brands in the region?
Malaysia Airlines Case Study
Malaysia Airlines has gained more than 58,000 fans on Google+ since it launched in March, in conjunction with its new branding initiative and A380 launch push.
Mohd Hisham Saleh, head of social media and innovations at Malaysia Airlines, said Google+ has opened new opportunities for the airline to tap different markets as well as offer additional features such as hangouts on air, which was used successfully for its A380 launch.
However, it is still in the preliminary stage when using it to measure ROI.
"For companies wanting to delve into Google+, they will need to find a way to associate their G+ page with their search results as Google+ does affect your search results as well, he advised.
On Malaysia Airlines' about page, it did made a disclaimer that any urgent inquiries or feedback should be directed to its Twitter, Facebook, and web page, which seems to hint that its Google+ page may not be as actively monitored compared to other social sites.
Latest Google+ Stats
At a video conference with Gretchen Howard, global director from Google+ for brands to press in Hong Kong, she shared the latest stats on the social network.
Google+ for business rolled out last November and it claimed to have more than a million brands set up profiles pages already.
Cadbury U.K.: Another Successful Case Study
Cadbury U.K. is a good example of a brand that uses Google+ well for consumer retention and loyalty, brand awareness, consumer engagement, and product feedback, Howard said.
In an earlier report, major brands such as McDonald's Japan, Uniqlo, Cathay Pacific, and Toyota were singled out to have some success in engaging fans on Google+ in Asia.
What About Small and Medium-Sized Businesses?
But small and medium-sized businesses in the region do not seem to be rushing to set up business profiles on the social network.
While Google does not reveal a breakdown on the number of business pages on a regional level, even third-party monitoring firms like Social Bakers do not appear to be tracking brands on Google+ closely for markets in the region.
Jonathan Liu, founder and CEO of Moonlight Marketing, a Hong Kong-based boutique social media agency, said marketers do not seem to be paying much attention to Google+ as user growth is gradual and it's not perceived as a social network compared to other niche sites such as Instagram and Pinterest.
However, with the huge network of user base and breadth of products, Google has a strategic advantage if it figures out how to add the social experience and interaction into existing users, he added.
Google+ Local
In May, Google announced that it has rolled out Google + Local to replace Google Places.
The new feature - Local integrates Google's search, maps, and mobile to allow users to discover and share local information, which features Zagat scores and recommendations from people within the Google+ network.
Local will most likely have an impact on businesses and hotel chains that rely on Google Maps and AdWords but it would also mean companies have to start thinking strategically from a local, social, and mobile perspective instead of trying to have a presence on every social platform that rolls out in the market.
Analytics unique to Google+
In a separate interview, Ryan Hayward, Google's Asia Pacific product marketing manager for G+ shared several metrics exclusive to Google+ compared to other social networks. They include the following features:
This is not unique to Google+, but it has introduced custom URLs for profiles and pages in August to a limited number of verified brands.

Stop the brutal slaughter and capture of dolphins and whales in Taiiji.
I've just signed the following petition addressed to the Consul General of Japan, HK(Yuji Kumamaru)
Stop the annual killing and capture of dolphins in Taiiji.
This petition is for anyone who is unable to join our protest in HK on 31st August, outside the Japanese Embassy, 8 Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong.
Japan Dolphins Day (JDD) was founded by Ric O'Barry and Save Japan Dolphins (SJD). WE are honored to again be working with SJD and an international team of organizations and activists to help make the 2012 Japan Dolphins Day the biggest and best GLOBAL event ever to raise awareness about the plight of dolphins in Taiji.
On August 31, 2012 rallies and peaceful protests will be held in front of Japanese Embassies and Consulates worldwide.
The events are to protest the September 1 start of the annual Taiji dolphin cull as seen in the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove.
The message is positive:
Japan, let the dolphins live and be free!
We the undersigned members of the community implore you to put an end to the brutal treatment and unsustainable slaughter of dolphins in the Japanese drive fisheries. Scientific research shows that dolphins are highly intelligent, self-aware and emotional animals with strong family ties and complex social lives. In addition, repeated recommendations from the international scientific and management communities to end this hunt have been ignored and there are no current population assessments of the most targeted species in Japanese waters. We urge you to lead the way and take action in stopping the inhumane treatment and killing of these highly sentient mammals.
We strongly believe that the sourcing of animals from this fishery for any purposes including human consumption, fertilizer and live public display, is unethical.
Dolphins annd whales belong in their natural habitat and can be observed this way as an alternative way of enjoyment.
I ask that you urge the Japanese government to revoke permits that allow Japan's Fisheries Agency to continue this heinous, dangerous and illegal practice.
Japan, Let the dolphins live and be free.
Your immediate action is needed.

Border agent killed in Arizona was shot in head
TUCSON, Ariz. — An autopsy report concludes that a U.S. Border Patrol
agent who was killed by friendly fire near the Arizona-Mexico border had died
from a gunshot wound to the head.
Medical examiners said in a report released Wednesday that a bullet slug and a
bullet fragment were recovered from the body of 30-year-old Agent Nicholas Ivie.
Investigators said Ivie and two other agents had responded to a tripped
underground sensor that's designed to detect smugglers and illegal immigrants on
Oct. 2 and had approached the location from opposite directions before opening
fire on each other.
The shooting occurred in the early morning hours in an area known for drug
The autopsy report doesn't say which agent fired the fatal shot.

Woburn is listed in The Sunday Times (March17th, 2013) as one of the 'Best places to live in Britain' and "merits more than a day trip".
Woburn was first recorded as a hamlet in 969 and is found in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name derives from the Saxon word 'wo' meaning crooked and 'burn', a small stream.
It is best known as the location of Woburn Abbey, founded by Cistercian monks in 1145 and granted to the first Earl of Bedford in 1538 after the dissolution of the monasteries. Woburn has been burned down and rebuilt three times: first when a mediaeval chimney fire spread due to the prevalence of thatched roofs and closely built houses. Then, during the English Civil War, the Cavaliers burned down much of the village and in 1724 a third fire destroyed much of the town, which was re-built in the Georgian style that remains today.
It is situated about 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of the centre of Milton Keynes, and about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of junction 12/13 off the M1 Motorway.
Woburn is a residential village and tourist attraction. Aside from Woburn Abbey and Woburn Safari Park, tourists visit Woburn's Georgian centre and the Woburn Heritage Centre local history museum.
Woburn hosts a popular Village Festival on the first weekend of September every year attracting thousands of visitors.
Facilities for residents and visitors include an outdoor swimming pool open in the summer months, the Village Hall, St. Mary's Church and Woburn Lower School. Woburn also has a monthly Farmers' Market on the third Sunday of the month organised by the Village Traders.
Woburn has also been chosen as the location for a brand new Center Parcs opened in 2014.
This beautiful Georgian village is brimming with a wide selection of specialist shops, pubs, restaurants and hotels.

Traveling with 2 Black Dogs

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Kitchen was well stocked with all needed utensils and cooking needs
The area was good for walking dogs The breakfast chef was friendly and a pleasant person to see each morning. The breakfast was always fresh and well prepared. This was the best place we stayed when we took or two week trip with our dogs.

I was at this hotel for business, I only stayed one night but the facility is nice. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and internet works well. I'd stay there again if in the area.
