The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton spring 2014 commencement ceremonies were held Saturday, May 10, at the H.B. White Auditorium of Morrilton High School. UACCM held two ceremonies, the first at 10:00 a.m. and the second at 1:00 p.m. This year, 232 graduates earned 315 awards. These included 166 associate degrees, 49 technical certificates and 100 certificates of proficiency. UACCM Board of Visitors members Doug Brandon, Ancel Carlon, and Susan Gunderman attended the ceremonies. UACCM outgrew its facilities to host graduation on its campus some years ago, and the South Conway County School District School Board allows the College to hold its commencement ceremonies in the auditorium at the high school.

Photos from graduation are available for viewing on UACCM's Facebook page and UACCM's Flickr a

Ivan Reitman's “Draft Day” stars Kevin Costner as Sonny Weaver Jr., the general manager of the Cleveland Browns. With 13 hours until the beginning of the NFL draft, Sonny is informed by the team's owner (Frank Langella) that if Sonny doesn't make a splash and generate ticket sales, he's going to be fired. That prompts the GM to take a trade offer from another team that gives him the first pick in the draft, in exchange for three future first-round picks. The move outrages the Browns' head coach and forces all of the team's scouts to dig up what they can find about the pick that everyone, including the owner, expects them to make – a highly touted quarterback from Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Weaver is dr
