Despite the double distraction of Lance Armstrong and Manti Te'o and his fake dead girlfriend, the Super Bowl will be upon us on Feb. 3 in New Orleans to regain our attention. Just beyond the Super Bowl hubbub, former players, some wearing Super Bowl rings, have found a life toiling in the financial world.
AdvisorOne found 13 former football players who went on to careers in business, mostly as financial advisors, though some as company figureheads to help boost a business' profile.
From excellent players like Lincoln Kennedy, a star offensive lineman, to those that had a moment in the sun like Chuck Mercein in the 1967 Ice Bowl and others who performed mostly in NFL obscurity, many have helped others plan for a secure financial future.
Of course, there are plenty of examples of high profile athletes blowing big paydays on bad investments, criminal activity or on high living. Along those lines, we also included three former players and a coach who ended in the crosshairs of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because of financial misdeeds. First, the nine "good" former players followed by the four "bad" former players:
1) Phil McConkey
Notable Team: New York Giants
Company: Academy Securities
Position: Partner, President
Degrees and Accreditation: Naval Academy, FINRA Series 7, 63, 24, 55 and 65 registrations
Phil McConkey has enjoyed uncommon success throughout his life, from serving as a pilot in the U.S. Navy to winning a Super Bowl in 1987 as a wide receiver for the New York Giants to life as an investment advisor. He has spent more than 15 years on Wall Street, including a stint as head of business development for BNP Paribas division Malbec Partners, as well as work with FTN Midwest and the Private Client Services Division of Deutsche Bank.
2) Wayne Chrebet
Notable Team: New York Jets
Company: Barclays Wealth
Position: Assistant Vice President
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from Hoftsra, earned Series 7, 31 and 66 licenses.
Wayne Chrebet was always the wide receiver that astonished NFL fans with his ability to thrive despite his lack of size. And thrive he did in 11 seasons from 1995 through 2005 with the New York Jets, retiring as the second-leading pass catcher in team history. Chrebet then directed his energy to a Wall Street career, first with Morgan Stanley based in Red Bank, N.J., then joining Barclays Capital in 2012. He told The Wall Street Journal in 2010 that it was a natural fit since he was always interested in managing his own money.
3) Lincoln Kennedy
Notable Team: Oakland Raiders
Company: Kennedy Insurance Agency
Position: CEO and President
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from University of Washington
Lincoln Kennedy was a star in college as an offensive lineman and continued his stellar play in the NFL. He was picked ninth in the draft by the Atlanta Falcons in 1993, and after three seasons was traded to the Oakland Raiders. He went to three consecutive Pro Bowls and started Super Bowl XXXVII for Oakland. He later played one season with the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League in 2007. After retiring, he began a career with Farmers Insurance before opening his own agency.
4) Chuck Mercein
Notable Team: Green Bay Packers
Company: Oppenheimer, various
Position: Institutional Sales Trader
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from Yale
Chuck Mercein's NFL career took off when Vince Lombardi called him to join the Green Bay Packers. The year was 1967, and the legendary coach needed to bolster his team's running attack as it tried to win its unprecedented third consecutive championship. The move worked out better than anyone could have expected, when the Yale grad made several key plays as running back during the final drive of the Ice Bowl game against the Dallas Cowboys, which lifted the Packers into the NFL's first Super Bowl. Glory on the field was fleeting, as Mercein was passed over during the subsequent Super Bowl, but he had a 45-year run on Wall Street. And he will always have the Sports Illustrated cover of him in the Ice Bowl to hang on his wall.
5) Reggie Smith
Notable Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Company: Water Tower Financial Partners
Position: Financial Advisor
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from the University of Kansas
Reggie Smith made a bold choice after being a three-year starter as an offensive tackle at Kansas: He signed with the upstart USFL rather than the NFL. After three years, the league folded and he headed for the older league. A stop in Denver (it didn't work out) was followed by a stint as a replacement player during the NFL lockout in 1987. He played three games with the Buccaneers before starting a new career. He currently does charitable work, heads up an alumni chapter of the NFL Players Association and works as a financial advisor.
6) Steven Israel
Notable Team: Los Angeles Rams
Company: AFLAC
Position: Insurance Associate
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from the University of Pittsburgh; holds Business Management & Entrepreneurship Certificates from Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business
Steven Israel was drafted by the Rams in the second round of the 1992 draft and enjoyed a decade-long career as a defensive back for four teams. After his playing days, Israel was a college football analyst for ESPNU for two years and embarked on a career in the financial services industry. Before landing at AFLAC, he was a financial representative at Northwestern Mutual Life.
7) Bernard Robertson III
Notable Team: Chicago Bears
Company: Merrill Lynch
Position: Head of Financial Advisory Team
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from Tulane University with a B.S. in Sports Medicine/Kinesiology and B.A. in Sociology.
Bernard Robertson had a storied college career blocking for the 1998 undefeated Tulane team. He then played three years in the NFL for the Bears and the Buffalo Bills. Like most professional athletes, his career was short and he needed to begin anew. He jumped into life as a financial advisor before joining Merrill Lynch in 2008. He heads his own Merrill Lynch Financial Advisory Team, and is the client relationship and investment manager for the team handling the team's high-net-worth and professional athlete clients.
8) Steve Bono
Notable Team: San Francisco 49ers
Company: Constellation Wealth Advisors
Position: Principal
Degrees and Accreditation: Graduated from UCLA
Steve Bono was a quarterback for 15 years in the NFL earning a Super Bowl ring with the 49ers and a Pro Bowl berth for leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 13-3 record in 1995. After retiring, Bono went into financial services, eventually serving as vice president in Bank of America's Private Bank and in the venture services arm of the Investment Banking Division at ThinkEquity Partners. In 2009, he brought a decade of experience to Constellation, based in the San Francisco area.
9) Reginald Wilkes
Notable Team: Philadelphia Eagles
Company: Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
Position: First Vice President, Wealth Management; Senior Financial Advisor
Degrees and Accreditation: Georgia Institute of Technology. He holds his NASD Series 7, 63 and 65 licenses as well as Life, Health and Variable Insurance licenses
As a linebacker, Wilkes lasted a decade in the NFL from 1978 through 1987 and played in the 1981 Super Bowl with the Eagles before finishing his career with the Atlanta Falcons. Since then, he has spent nearly two decades as a financial advisor. While playing football, he spent the off-season working at Merrill Lynch and joined them after retiring from the NFL. He later began a RIA firm, Pro Cap, which he sold to Mercantile Trust Bank. He returned to Merrill Lynch in 2007. He focuses on helping athletes manage their money and prepare for life after sports. He is registered with the NFL Players Association and has helped NBA players as well.
10) Jim Donnan
Notable Team: University of Georgia
Company: GLC Limited
Position: Partner
Jim Donnan, who was a star quarterback at North Carolina State in the '60s, won renown as a college football coach from 1990 thorugh 2000 at Marshall and then Georgia. In five years at the latter school, he won 68% of his games and was perfect in five bowl games. His overall record of 104-40 landed him a berth in the College Football Hall of Fame.
After that, Donnan's life took a nasty turn. Last summer the SEC charged him with helping run a Ponzi scheme by promising investors a 50% to 400% return on their money in GLC Limited, a liquidation company that bought and resold appliances and furniture. Donnan and his partner collected $80 million and used just $12 million to run the business, which the SEC alleged was a sham. The case has not yet gone to trial. Investors included high-profile football players and coaches, including Barry Switzer, Frank Beamer and Tommy Tuberville.
11) Willie Gault
Notable Team: Chicago Bears
Company: Heart Tronics
Position: CEO
Willie Gault was at the top of the athletic world. He played wide receiver with the Chicago Bears and was part of the team's lone Super Bowl victory in 1986. Later he played for the Los Angeles Rams and even landed a spot in the Olympics as part of the U.S. bobsled team. Gault would have gone to the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow as a sprinter if the U.S. had not boycotted it.
But Gault ran afoul of the law, the SEC says, when Heart Tronics installed him as a figurehead CEO. Gault's celebrity helped pump up the company's stock; the SEC charged Gault and five others with defrauding investors as the company allegedly falsified sales records. The SEC's civil case gainst Gault has been stayed pending the outcome of a criminal case against another defendant.
12) Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger
Notable Team: Notre Dame
Company: Rudy Nutrition
Position: Owner
Made famous by the movie "Rudy," Daniel Ruettiger apparently tried to write his own Hollywood story. He started a sports drink company, Rudy Nutrition, and set about trying to market it. Things took a dark turn when the SEC charged Ruettiger and 11 others in a pump-and-dump scam, illegally pumping up the stock price of the company, and netting $11 million in illicit profits. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Ruettiger's brother said "Rudy" had settled by paying $382,866 in ill-gotten gains, interest and penalties. He also agreed to a ban on ever being an officer or director of a company promoting penny stocks.
13) Fran Tarkenton
Notable Team: Minnesota Vikings
Company: KnowledgeWare
Position: President
Fran Tarkenton had a remarkable career as an NFL quarterback. He led the Vikings to four Super Bowls in the 1970s (losing them all), still ranks sixth in passing yards, fourth in touchdown passes and fifth in victories. Images of him scrambling to evade pass rushers are indelible to anyone who saw him play.
After retiring, he founded Fran Tarkenton Software. After merging with KnowledgeWare in 1994 he stayed on as president. All was well until 1999 when the SEC charged Tarkenton with directing a multimillion-dollar fraud in which his company claimed phony revenues in 1992 and '93 (the company was sold in 1994). Tarkenton paid $154,187 in fines without admitting wrongdoing. Tarkenton later became a TV pitchman for financial products.

Sponsors host hackathons for reasons ranging from using the event as a hiring fair, to looking for ideas, to road testing APIs and documentation. Our recent hackathon was driven by the latter motivations, and the fixed date of the event brought a needed urgency to get our docs and APIs cleaned up and made ready for public, rather than just internal, consumption.
But what's really in it for developers? To get greater clarity, I called Steve Perry and Areion Azimi, two members of the team that won the top prize at the TV Hackfest London, to get the developer perspective:
What got you to enter the hackathon and what were you looking for?
Steve: I was looking for a day of something different. Working full-time for a company, you're always on the same products. When I saw this hackathon advertised, I thought it was an opportunity to work on different ideas, new concepts.
Areion: At hackathons, developers come together in a 12- or 24-hour timespan to create useful products that address an industry need or a market gap. The time crunch adds an element of excitement but also forces teams to strip out a lot of the inefficiencies that make people unproductive when working in a team setting (deferred decision making, paralysis by over-analysis, and so on). Hackathons also give developers a chance to learn about new or popular open source frameworks, APIs, and plugins. It also gives them a chance to apply their learning in a collaborative and supportive environment. They leverage each other's individual strengths and skill sets to efficiently allocate work required to build the product.
What were you expecting from the hackathon sponsors and organizers?
Steve: For APIs to play with. Having the sponsors give a brief to developers, providing targets and a timeframe to work towards. And to meet others that was a key reason to join. Also, to test myself and compare my level and abilities with others.
What is your message to the people who run hackathons in the future? What would you like (besides better pizza)?
Steve: Organization is key. The one we entered was really good, but it was a bit vague on the concept. I hadn't been to one before, so I didn't know what to expect. I thought there would be some rules. Especially important is reliable Wi-Fi!
Areion: From a networking perspective, hackathons are fantastic as most are sponsored by brand names that provide guidance, tech, or other resources to attendees. Thus, developers can learn about industries and companies they may not have gotten exposure to in other settings. Developers also get to wrap their heads around problems businesses are facing in their respective industries and offer fresh perspectives and solutions to these problems.
Developers also benefit from the perks! Free food, free clothes, free vouchers (subscription trials, etc.) form the bulk of the goodies at hackathons…not to mention, big cash prizes and invitations into accelerator programs.
Could you discuss how ideas are turned into reality, and the amount of freedom or the amount of direction that should be provided to seed and nurture the development process?
Areion: Hackathons are about the people and the experience of building something totally out of creative inspiration in a very short 12–24-hour timespan. People put aside their egos, forget about titles and delegating, don't think about equity or forming a business, and just get on with developing a great product.
Regardless of whether the product evolves into something that can be bought and sold in the market, or ends up in the back alleys of BitBucket or GitHub, hackathons are really all about the people you meet and get to work with. They form an integral part to the start-up ecosystem and are an important networking aspect in the developer community.
The Takeaway
Readers might wonder what can really be achieved in 48 hours. If you can truly build a compelling proposition in two days, even something really simple, then why is the regular development process so inefficient? Should we throw out planning, specs, and testing and just provide an environment fueled by caffeine and pizza?
There's the rub. The gap between an enthusiastic pitch (and even a working demo at the end of a hackathon) and a consumer-ready app is substantial. It's clear that you can get to 80% of what looks like a product in a fraction of the time it takes to do the remaining 20%. All those small issues are glossed over in the demo.
In a way, hackathons confirm the old adage that ideas are cheap, but implementation is expensive. Which we already know; it's precisely why that idea on the to-do list for the last 18 months hasn't seen any implementation yet. Maybe next spring…

Peter Sutcliffe aka The Yorkshire Ripper
The Yorkshire Ripper is finally caught by British police on January 2, 1981, ending one of the largest manhunts in British history. For five years, investigators had pursued every lead in an effort to stop the serial killer who terrorized Northern England, but the end came out of pure luck.
Peter Sutcliffe was spotted in a stolen car with a prostitute and arrested by Sergeant Robert Ring. Sutcliffe asked to urinate behind a bush before being taken into custody. When Ring later returned to the scene, he found a hammer and knife, the Yorkshire Ripper's weapons of choice, behind the shrubbery. Sutcliffe confessed when confronted with this evidence. Peter Sutcliffe's first victim was Wilma McCann, who was beaten about the head with a hammer and stabbed multiple times on October 30, 1975. Initially, he focused his attacks almost exclusively on prostitutes, killing seven young women in Northern England between February 1977 and May 1978. Many of the victims were mutilated after they were killed. As part of the manhunt, authorities interviewed more than 250,000 people and searched thousands of homes. Sutcliffe himself was interviewed nine times during the investigation but always convinced detectives that he wasn't involved. In 1979, a tape recording purportedly from the Yorkshire Ripper was sent to the police, who were sidetracked by what later turned out to be a hoax. The public began to panic when the Yorkshire Ripper stopped going after prostitutes and started targeting college students. When Peter Sutcliffe was finally convicted, after an unsuccessful insanity defense, he had killed 13 women, far more than his namesake, Jack the Ripper. Sutcliffe received a sentence of life in prison.

Animal-Fighting Law Takes Federal Stage
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Attending an animal fight has been a felony in Florida for nine years, but now there is a push in Washington to make it a federal offense to cross state lines to fight animals, and also to offer some consistency among the state laws.
Earlier this month the U.S. Senate passed the national Farm Bill, which contained an amendment that would prohibit attendance at organized animal-fighting events, as well as punish vendors who sell at those events.
Laura Bevan, the director of the Southern Region for the Humane Society of the United States, says the federal law will help protect Florida animals as well.
"You have to tackle it at the state level, but then you have to look at the federal level and the fact that people are crossing state lines for these fights."
Dog and cock fighting have been particularly common in Florida in the past, although the strict state law has discouraged such events from taking place in public forums, says Bevans.
The U.S. House is expected to vote this week on a one-year extension of the Farm Bill which would include the law against animal-fight attendance.
The amendment to the Farm Bill would also specifically prohibit bringing children to these events, which is something the Florida law does not specifically make illegal. Bevan says ending the practice of animal fighting is part of a larger issue.
"It it hard to call ourselves civilized if we are getting fun out of watching two animals tear each other up. It doesn't say much about us as a society."
A three-year study by the Chicago Police Department found that 70 percent of animal offenders had also been arrested for other felonies, including domestic and aggravated battery, drug trafficking and sex crimes.
Florida U.S. Representatives Steve Southerland of the 2nd District and Tom Rooney of the 16th district, both Republicans, as members of the House Agriculture Committee, voted against the inclusion of an amendment that would strengthen animal-fighting laws.

Likening sexual assault in the Air Force's ranks to a cancer, the service's top officer resolved Wednesday to tackle the problem by screening personnel more carefully and putting an end to bad behaviors like binge drinking that can lead to misconduct.
WASHINGTON (AP) � Likening sexual assault in the Air Force's ranks to a cancer, the service's top officer resolved Wednesday to tackle the problem by screening personnel more carefully and putting an end to bad behaviors like binge drinking that can lead to misconduct.
But Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, underscored the challenge by telling a House oversight committee that the service recorded a disturbing number of reports of sexual assault last year even as it worked to curb misconduct in the wake of a sex scandal at its training headquarters in Texas. Dozens of young female recruits and airmen at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio were victimized by their instructors who sexually harassed, improperly touched or raped them.
Most difficult, Welsh said, is transforming a culture in which victims are often reluctant to report what happened because of guilt, shame or fear they won't be believed.
"Why, on what was undoubtedly the worst day of a victim's life, did they not turn to us for help?" Welsh said during testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. "We are missing something fundamental in the human-to-human interaction that will allow them to feel safe enough to come to us and report."
An Air Force veteran who was sexually assaulted while serving � but not at Lackland � described how intimidating it is for young enlisted personnel to speak up.
"You're stuck," Jennifer Norris told the committee. "If you want a career, you don't want to say anything because you get retaliated against." Norris, who said she medically retired in 2010 with post-traumatic stress disorder, said the Air Force and the other military branches have a sexual assault epidemic and a broken system of justice.
The scandal at Lackland, now known as Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, continues to unfold nearly two years after the first victim came forward. All U.S. airmen report to Lackland for basic training. The base has about 500 military training instructors for about 35,000 airmen who graduate every year. About 1 in 5 recruits is a woman; most instructors are men.
The initial results of Air Force investigation released in November described abuses of power by instructors who took advantage of a weak oversight system to prey on young recruits.
The inquiry has found that 32 military training instructors allegedly engaged in inappropriate or coercive sexual relationships with 59 recruits and airmen at Lackland, according to the Air Force. Three of the most recent alleged victims are males.
Six instructors have been convicted in courts-martial on charges ranging from adultery, rape and conducting unprofessional relationships. Nine more instructors are awaiting courts-martial. Two more received nonjudicial punishments. Fifteen 15 instructors remain under investigation.
The Air Force has changed the way it selects officers and instructors who train new recruits and reduced from four to three years the amount of time they can spend as instructors, said Gen. Edward Rice, head of the Air Education and Training Command. Rice, who testified along with Welsh, said more women are being placed in supervisory roles within the training command. The Lackland scandal has not affected recruiting, Rice said.
"I'm not in any way ready to declare victory," Rice said.
The preliminary figures for 2012 show there were nearly 800 reports of cases, ranging from inappropriate touching to rape, according to Welsh's testimony. That would be a nearly 30 percent increase from 2011, when 614 cases were reported. The number could be much greater, Welsh said, because many cases are never reported.
"It's astonishing, really," Welsh said. "Eight hundred is not acceptable, 600 is not acceptable. 300 is not acceptable. Zero is the only answer."
The 2012 figures are being audited and reviewed before being included in a report the Defense Department will submit to Congress in April, according to Welsh.
Welsh said he has stressed to the Air Force's officer corps and senior enlisted ranks the importance of eliminating sexual misconduct. As part of that effort, Welsh issued a "Letter to Airmen" this month that said images, songs and stories that are obscene or vulgar are not part of the Air Force heritage.
Not everyone who commits sexual assault is a predator, but there are predators in the ranks and they have to be found before they act, Welsh said.
The Air Force also has to identify and stop the activities that can lead to inappropriate actions.
"A young man who routinely binge drinks and loses control of himself is going to conduct bad behavior," Welsh said. "That bad behavior could result in sexual assault. Let's stop the binge drinking."

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
