Frequently Asked Questions
Nassau County Tax Lien Sale
The Tax Lien Sale
Using the Auction Site
Tax Liens
What is a tax lien?
A tax lien represents a first lien against real estate (not the owner). The tax lien sale is NOT a sale of real property.
It is your sole responsibility to research any tax lien certificates you intend to buy. You can see additional property and tax information for any item by clicking on the Account or Parcel Number on the auction web site. Research any advertised items carefully before submitting bids. There are potential risks associated with tax lien purchases. Each bid submitted represents a binding offer to purchase a lien from the Treasurer, and purchases in the tax lien sale are final.
When does the tax lien sale take place?
The sale takes place the third Tuesday of February each year. Registration and submission on BidNassauCountyNY.com begins in late January or early February.
In late January or early February:
Items for sale are advertised (in a local newspaper and on the auction web site)
Bidders can begin to register for the sale (submit W-9 forms, pay deposits, get Tax Sale Buyer Number)
Bidders can begin to submit bids
On the day of the sale (the third Tuesday in February):
Bid submission ends
Sale results are generated
For exact dates, please see the
Auction Schedule
. All activity related to registration, bidding, and lien awards takes place on the auction web site.
How do I register for the sale?
All bidders who wish to participate in the sale must perform the following steps on the auction web site:
Please note: If you have participated in previous Nassau County lien sales, you have a Tax Sale Buyer number and must continue using that number. If you plan to register under a different entity, follow the procedure below and a new Tax Sale Buyer Number will be assigned.
Obtain a User ID and password for the web site by clicking the "Register" link on the home page and completing the required form
Submit an IRS W-9 form
Agree to the Terms of Sale
Submit the Conflict of Interest Form
Submit a registration fee (paid online by ACH)
Set a budget amount (the most you are willing to spend in the sale)
Pay a deposit of at least 10% of your anticipated purchases
A minimum deposit of $5,000 is required to participate in sale
Please note that you can only submit or modify your W-9 during the registration period from late January through early February. You will be assigned a Tax Sale Buyer Number after you successfully submit your W-9.
How do I pay my deposit?
Deposits are accepted by ACH initiated on the auction web site and must be made before bids can be submitted. Please note that you can only submit or add to your deposit during the registration period.
How do I submit my bids?
You can submit your bids on the Bid page individually, as a group (using a saved list), or via a file upload. You must complete all the registration steps before you are allowed to submit bids.
How do I pay for lien purchases?
Payment must be made by ACH using the Pay for Certificates button on the My Account page. The button is activated once the last batch in the sale closes and any final data updates are complete. The deadline to pay is listed on the
Auction Schedule
. If you fail to pay by the deadline, you will forfeit your security deposit and lien purchases.
What is an ACH debit?
An ACH debit is an electronic payment from your checking or savings account. When you enter your bank account information and submit payment on the auction web site, you are authorizing the treasurer to debit your account for the amount you indicated. All payments are sent for processing immediately. Additional information is available on the page where you authorize payment.
Funds must be drawn from a U.S. financial institution. Some types of money market, brokerage, and/or trust accounts cannot accept ACH debits. Please check with your financial institution prior to initiating payment on the web site.
What is the auction process?
Liens are sold in the order advertised. Bidding begins at 10 percent (the maximum rate) and bids down in decrements of one-quarter of one percent. Each lien is sold individually to the bidder offering the lowest interest rate. In the case of a tie at the lowest rate, the winner will be selected using a random number generator in the auction software. Items that receive no bids are "struck" to the county and become county-held liens. Bids are accepted at 0.00% (zero), but liens awarded at this rate WILL NOT accrue interest. Bids at 0.00% will not be treated as Proxy bids even in sales using Proxy Bidding.
Is there a cost to participate?
The registration fee is $175.00. This fee is paid to the Treasurer through the auction web site and is non-refundable. Successful buyers will also be required to pay a $20.00 fee per lien purchased in conjunction with payment for the balance due at the end of the sale.
What is a batch?
A batch is a subgroup of the list of auction items. The list is divided into batches to make the bidding process more efficient, and enable participants to manage their bids and budgets.
Do I have to bid on all the items in a batch?
No. Each tax lien in each batch is auctioned independently of every other tax lien.
What happens to my security deposit if I don't win any liens?
The Treasurer will issue refunds after the close of the sale. Refunds of ACH payments will be made electronically to the account you used to submit the deposit. You will receive an email confirmation when the refund is initiated.
How do I receive my tax lien certificates?
The Treasurer will mail paper certificates to buyers after they pay the auction fees and balances due for their purchases.
How can I get a list of my liens after the sale?
To review and download a list of your winning bids:
Log in to the auction web site
Enter the relevant tax lien sale
Click on the Results tab
Select "All Certificates" from the Certificate Lists menu
Select "All Batches" from the Batches menu
Select your buyer number from the Bidder menu
Select "Winning Bids" from the Results menu
Check "Hide Removed Certificates"
After completing these steps you will see a list of your purchases. You can download the list in Excel, or comma-separated values format (CSV), by clicking the icons on the right-hand side of the page above the list of liens.
I forgot my password. What should I do?
Click "Forgot your password?" on the Sign In page. Answer a security question and the system will send you an email with a link to reset your password.
I forgot my User ID. What should I do?
Click "Forgot your User ID?" on the Sign In page. You will be prompted to enter the email address associated with your ID. The system will send you an email to that address with your User ID.
What is Proxy Bidding?
In a live auction, bidders lower their bids by quarter percent decrements until they are the only bidder left or until the interest goes below their acceptable minimum level, at which point they would drop out.
Proxy bidding is a form of competitive sale in which bidders enter the minimum interest rate that they are willing to accept for each lien. The auction system acts as an electronic agent, submitting bids on behalf of each bidder until their minimum bid rate is met. Using the proxy system the electronic agent keeps lowering your bid by quarter percent decrements until you are either the only bidder left, (in which case you get the lien at a quarter percent lower than the previous bid) or until you reach the floor you have set. Note:
Zero percent bids (0%) will not be treated as proxy bids. They will be awarded at zero.
If you are the only bidder on a given lien and your minimum rate is greater than zero percent, the electronic agent will submit a bid of 10 percent on your behalf.
In the case of a tie at the winning bid rate, the system awards the lien to one of the tied bidders through a random selection process using a random number generator.
In no case will a bidder be awarded a lien at a rate lower than their specified minimum acceptable rate.
Liens that receive no bids after all batches are closed will be struck to the County at 10 percent.
Does my budget amount limit the number of bids I can submit?
No. You can submit an unlimited number of bids regardless of your budget amount. However, you will not be awarded an item if the award would cause the value of your purchases to exceed your budget amount.
Is my budget amount automatically 10x my deposit amount?
No. The maximum allowable budget you can set is 10x your deposit amount, but you must enter your budget amount. You can modify your budget any time before the end of the sale, as long as you have at least $5,000 or 10% of the amount submitted as your deposit.
Where can I find sale results?
You can see results by logging in to the auction web site, entering the auction, and clicking on the Results tab in the upper right-hand part of the page. Clicking on the winning bid for any lien will display a list of all submitted bids in a new window.
What equipment or software do I need to be able to participate?
Many people choose one of the following freely available browsers:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox

, or by phone at (866) 247-4370, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST on business days.
How do I receive redemption funds?
All liens purchased at the 2020 sale may be redeemed by the property owner or interested party at any time prior to either the Treasurer's issuance of a tax deed or the commencement of a foreclosure action in court. Neither of these events can occur before February 19, 2021 at the earliest. All redemption payments will be charged the total interest rate due at the time of payment. The County Treasurer will pay you the appropriate interest for your lien paid by the property owner or interested party. The interest collected will be in accordance with the provisions of the Nassau County Administrative Code which call for the same rate as bid at sale for the first twenty-four month period calculated at six-month intervals beginning February 18, 2020. In cases of one-year hardship extensions, interest on the lien for the 25th month through the 36th month will be at five percent per six-month period of time.
Can I pay the taxes and own the property?
NO. You have not purchased the property. A tax lien does not convey any property rights or ownership to the lien holder.
Are tax liens transferable?
Certificates can be transferred by completing an Assignment Form, W-9, Conflict of Interest form and paying the applicable fees through the Treasurer's office.

Keenan Cahill, the lip-syncing YouTube sensation, has a new video out – this one with noted backup singers Brian Wilson and Cody Ross.
Lou Seal also makes an appearance as Keenan and the Giants perform "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz.
Keenan, a 16-year-old from Elmhurst, Ill., has a rare genetic disorder known as Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome, which can cause individuals to develop a dwarf-like appearance. Sufferers generally experience growth retardation beginning at round 2 or 3 and progressing as they age, leaving them with "coarsening facial featuries" and "joint stiffness."
The Giants are sponsoring a "Cody & Keenan" Social Media Fundraiser to benefit "causes dear to both Cody & Keenan."

A restraining order obtained by Charlie Sheen's estranged wife against the actor was expected to expire Tuesday.
A court hearing had been scheduled Tuesday to discuss a possible extension of the order, which Brooke Mueller was granted on March 1, but the matter was taken off calendar, apparently at the request of her attorneys.
Mueller and Sheen announced earlier this month through their attorneys that they had reached an agreement over custody of their twin sons, although details were not released.
The announcement came the same night that Los Angeles Police Department detectives went to Sheen's Mulholland Drive mansion to investigate whether he had guns, which could have been a violation of the temporary restraining order.
The order required Sheen to stay 100 yards away from her and have no contact with her.

Judge Rakoff just keeps wowing us, day after day!
Sure he will do all in his power to squirm out of this one.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein may be asked to testify in a market regulator's insider-trading case against a former director of the Wall Street bank, a judge ruled.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Rajat Gupta, a former board member at Goldman and Procter & Gamble, of giving inside tips about the two companies to his friend Raj Rajaratnam in 2008 and 2009.

!!!!! Rupert Murdoch is in talks with Yahoo! aimed at fending off the hostile takeover by Microsoft.
Despite repeated denials from News Corp in recent weeks, the two firms are reportedly talking about an alliance based on Murdoch's MySpace. Yahoo! this week officially rejected Microsoft's $44.6bn takeover offer.
The deal would see News Corp exchange MySpace and other web properties for a 20 per cent stake in Yahoo!. It would also bring in private equity money to help Yahoo! develop the combined businesses. Fox Interactive Media, which includes MySpace, turned a profit for the first time in 2007.
A full takeover is unlikely because the company is also still in the process of digesting, and paying for, recent purchases like Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal. It is not clear how real the deal is and how much it is being used to encourage Microsoft into improving its offer.
In financial terms, Murdoch might be able to play now but could struggle to compete against a likely better offer from Microsoft in the next few weeks.
Murdoch has form on this kind of deal. News Corp subsidiary Sky bought a chunk of ailing UK broadcaster ITV last year. The satellite TV firm didn't need the viewers, but the deal meant it could effectively block Virgin Media buying the broadcaster. Murdoch is not crazy about the idea of either Microsoft or Google moving further into the content market, so following a similar strategy with Yahoo! sounds feasible. UK regulators have since ordered Sky to offload the ITV holding.
Neither Yahoo! nor News Corp have commented on the story, which broke on Silicon Alley Insider.
In other news, Yahoo! is facing a shareholder lawsuit. A pension fund which owns Yahoo! shares is taking the company to court to force it to seriously consider the Microsoft offer. ®

Hooray for it being FRIDAY! That means pictures and hopefully something funny… Well I have a treat for you!
Um, so this is the weirdest but most EPIC thing that could have possibly happened to me. I know I get excited about dumb things, but if you don't know what "Craigslist Missed Connections" are, it's basically a place to post about someone you saw at the grocery store, or somewhere like that and didn't have enough guts to say hi to them. Mostly it's weird, kind of random people and some of them are simply AMAZING and creepy all at the same time. So, call me weird, but one of my friends showed me them in college and she was obsessed with reading them. I like to read them out of pure humor often as well, and we always thought it would be the greatest if we found ourselves on missed connections. People write the funniest stuff and it's pretty entertaining, to say the least.
So in July, I was up in San Fransisco for the 1/2 marathon right? And we all remember the glorious posters that me and Tara and Maritza spent the night making for the next morning at the San Fransisco Marathon right?
Then we all remember how the runners loved them, and the nipple chafing turns me on sign came back to haunt me right? Because this fool at Gordon Biersh was obsessed with the sign, me and also was inebriated and smelled, granted he finished a marathon… BUT STILL. He came up to our table, and yes, took me downstairs and got us two shots to take together that totaled to be 19 bucks. Classy.
I wasn't going to be a complete B and turn him down, so I obliged. Luckily, Maritza was there and saved me from his craziness, and up the stairs we went. I luckily avoided him for the remainder of our time at lunch.
Now, how does this all tie in together you may ask? Well, the other day my friend, Maritza told me that somehow a friend of hers FOUND ME ON MISSED CONNECTIONS VIA THE NIPPLE CHAFING SIGN. That sign must be made again because it obviously is the most amazing sign ever made. He took this screen shot because he wanted to show her. Sadly, I don't have the link anymore, since it's too old and craigslist erases them after a given amount of time.
Weirdly enough, I know it's not the same guy who got the shots because I asked him how old he was and he said he was 25. Pretty amazing if you ask me. I made missed connections. My life is complete and I can now die a happy person. I wish so badly I could have seen what was written, but it got erased.
PS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, IF YOU CAN!!!! Help out my roommate to raise $155 dollars by tomorrow so she can do the walk with me! Anything will help, and she only has $155 dollars left to go, even though her website says differently, since she has gotten some checks and they have not been added to the site. We both will be forever grateful. If you would like to donate, visit her site : Shea's Donation Site! Thank you again in advance if you chose to make a donation!

Ron Livingston, the genius who carried "Office Space," has signed on for two more roles that sound as though they're beneath a man of his talents. But, hey, at least he's working.
Livingston will appear alongside Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton in "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," based on a story by Ahmet Zappa, reported The Wrap. The film focuses on a childless couple, Garner and Edgerton, who "bury a box in their backyard, containing all of their wishes for an infant. Soon, a child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears" (via IMDB).
Additionally, Livingston has joined the high school reunion ensemble film from executive producer Channing Tatum, "Ten Year." Beyond Livingston and Tatum, the film also stars Brian Geraghty, Rosario Dawson, Anthony Mackie, Kate Mara, Justin Long, Scott Porter, Lynn Collins, Chris Pratt and Oscar Isaac.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Livingston can next be seen March 11 in "Queens of Country," starring Lizzy Caplan (is she waiting too long to capitalize on her moment?) as a woman who, according to the film's Facebook page, "finds a lost iPod filled with songs that speak to her sensitive heart. Jolene Gillis is convinced the owner is her soul mate and she is thrust into a sexy, heartwarming and hilarious adventure of mistaken identities, ATVs, line dancing competitions, kidnappers, time machines and doppelgangers."
Would somebody please get serious about making Livingston a movie star, and stop relegating him to minor roles in movies like "Going the Distance" and "Dinner for Schmucks"?

As part of his Weezy Wednesdays video series, New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne recalled taking part in Cash Money Records' elaborate live performances years ago. He says that Birdman and Mannie Fresh would enter onto the stage by walking out of a huge, diamond Rolex while the Hot Boys arrived on stage via helicopter.
In order to surprise the audience with their arrival on stage via helicopter, Lil Wayne revealed that those in the Hot Boys were wheeled to the middle of the arena in laundry carts and would then sneak onto the helicopters unbeknownst to their fans.
In addition to their elaborate entrances, the Young Money lyricist revealed that there was an oversized Cristal bottle on stage that shot water at the audience and that during his performances he was making it rain well before he was featured on Fat Joe's record, "Make It Rain."
"We used to come out on stage—Baby and them used to come out of a Rolex," Weezy said. "Baby and Mannie Fresh used to come out of a big ass, diamond Rolex. It used to open up and they would come out on stage. This was back in the days when shows and production for shows was—You would go over the top. Nowadays you got a show you see screens and a person, which is okay cause nowadays that means the music is standing up for it. And that's awesome. But back in the days Baby and Fresh they would come out of a Rolex. Not to mention they would have this big Cristal bottle. When I say 'big' it had to be about 30 to 40-feet in the air. And they would have this rope that they can pull and the Cristal bottle would shoot water.
"As the Hot Boys we used to come out on stage—The way we would come out was we would get wheeled," he added. "Since every show was in an arena—Thank God. Knock on wood. Every show was in the arena. They used to have—Obviously it was a team that played there…The laundry hampers for these teams are fuckin—Since it's a whole team they're fuckin huge…Us four we would all get into these hampers and the people would just roll em through the crowd…They would roll us to the actual middle of the arena. So, meaning in between the crowd and everything. And nobody knew. And we would get under these [clods]. We would go under the [clod] and we would get into helicopters. And everybody knew if you a Cash Money fan back then, you knew that the Cash Money sound was a helicopter…The crowd going crazy. Everybody looking at the stage like 'Here these niggas come.' And from behind them the helicopters raising up. And they're like 'What the fuck?'"
Lil Wayne later spoke on a seizure he suffered mid-performance during a Cash Money Show, a seizure that led to him missing three to four shows. He says that once Baby announced to the audience that he would not be present for medical reasons, the crowd's energy changed completely.
"Me with that dumb ass thing I'm diagnosed with," he said. "I had a seizure one day. And so I passed out on the stage because of the heat. Heat flashes give me seizures. That's one of the triggers. And I caught a fuckin heat flash. And 'bong' I just dropped on stage…Got better. Had to miss the next three or four shows though because [the] doctor said you shouldn't be on stage…They had to play my song every night still because I wasn't there. So, they still had to play my song, which was 'The Block Is Hot' back then. And so, the shows that I missed what Baby would do was—What Baby would say was he would say. He would tell the crowd 'Aye, my little nigga Lil Wayne he's sick right now. He couldn't make it.' You know what I mean? And so, the whole fuckin—He was like 'But we still gon' run this song for my nigga.' And he was like 'But the whole show.' He said once he said that he noticed that the show went upside down from there. The whole crowd was like 'Aww. What?'"

It's normal to have a few fears when you start a new job or move to a new area to live. When you work as a nurse traveler, you combine both a new living environment and a new job. It's no wonder you may be a little apprehensive. Keep in mind that everyone gets a little nervous starting a new travel assignment, especially if it is their first.

Carter County was named in honor of United States Senator, Thomas Henry Carter. The county was created by an act of the Montana State Legislature on February 22, 1917, and was opened for business May 18, 1917 with Ekalaka as the county seat. What is now the Farmers Union Oil Company building was an old school building and also used as the courthouse. In 1920 the new courthouse building was built and is still in use to this very day. The total population back in 1920 was 2,972.
Ekalaka was named in honor of Ijkalaka, daughter of Eagle Man of the Ogalala Sioux. She was the wife of David H. Russell, the first white settler in the picturesque Russell Creek Valley.
Ekalaka is located in the Southeastern corner of Montana and is 3,313 square miles. Farming and ranching are the principle industries, with beef production number one on the list.
Ekalaka is 36 miles south of the US Highway #12 and MT Highway #7 junction at Baker. Ekalaka is also located 72 miles north of Alzada on Route #323. To take Route #323, turn north at the intersection of US Highway #212 and Wyoming Highway #112. MT Route #323 is a direct route to the Black Hills of South Dakota and Devils Tower in Wyoming.

Thanks to WKCF's expertise and professionalism, we found this to be a straight forward process where they were always on hand to give us pragmatic advice at every stage.""
"We chose WK Corporate Finance as our Financial Due Diligence partner to their depth of expertise in the asset backed lending sector, which was critical to understanding the unique business model and bespoke lending practices of Reward Finance Group. Dan Nixon and his team demonstrated high quality project management, delivering an insightful report to a tight timetable. They were a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to working with them again in the future."
"We could not have done this deal were it not for the input of the guys at WKCF. They prepared our business plan for us and negotiated the best terms for the deal. Their help was invaluable."
"Andy and the team at WKCF were great to work with on the entire process, from the initial production of the Information Memorandum, through to the various discussions with the many interested parties that they introduced to us, to the final deal that was agreed with Adept. They took time to really understand us and our Company and led the sale in a very professional, but friendly way. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else considering a sale of business."
"Andy has advised us since the original MBO in 2008, including the BGF investment in 2014 and through to the sale to TEQ. His advice throughout has been invaluable and we are delighted that TEQ have retained him to continue to work with us into the future."
"I've worked with WKCF on a number of transactions. What I like about their FDD offering is that it's not a one-size fits all approach. The report was concise and addressed the key areas succinctly."
"We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with WK across a number of fronts. Andy and his team worked with us during the MBO process successfully concluding that deal. When we wanted to look at potential outside investment in the business to further our personal and business goals Andy and the WKCF team were again on hand to introduce us to the Business Growth Fund and guide Plastique through the entire process."
"We have worked with WKCF in a transaction support capacity across a variety of deals in the recent past. The consistent quality of the financial due diligence and advisory services they provide, as again evidenced in this transaction with ACC Aviation, has established WKCF as one of our key advisory partners."

WKCF provided us with the support, knowledge and pragmatic advice that we required to be able to sense check the more difficult decisions we were required to make during the negotiation."
"Andy and the team at WKCF helped us secure the best possible deal with Elephant and oversaw a smooth process through to completion."
"We are delighted to be partnering with Kew Media Group. As we strategized with WKCF on how best to elevate TCB to the next level, it was quickly apparent that Kew fitted the bill. With its established distribution footprint, growing stable of production entities, heavyweight management team and access to capital markets, we believe we have found the perfect partner to assist us as we continue to build scale in the international distribution business."
"WKCF deliver a high quality, commercially focused and efficient due diligence service. Their input has been invaluable and I look forward to working with the team again on future investments."
"I am sure there is no way this transaction would have happened without you. As a buyer of entrepreneurial companies, we see all kinds of intermediaries, and often all kinds of chaos. You were extremely professional and organised every step of the way and served your client very well."
"Andy Coghlan from WKCF assisted the team in their negotiations with Mobeus, clearly explaining the funding structure and guiding us through the investment process."
"The WKCF team led by Dan Nixon were an integral part of this deal process. Their expertise and professionalism was an obvious attribute from the outset so I was never in doubt that this would be a success."
"We were extremely impressed with WKCF on this transaction. Dane and Adam ran a smooth and efficient process. They introduced us to a number of relevant investors and negotiated excellent investment terms on our behalf - when it came down to decision time, I have to say that we were spoilt for choice. We will be enlisting their services again as we continue to focus on growing our business."

Disney announced today that on Monday night, June 24, local heroes were honored at 15+ special advance screenings around the country as part of a 60+ nationwide screening program executed in conjunction with The Lone Ranger Ride for Justice campaign. Armie Hammer, who plays John Reid aka The Lone Ranger in Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' epic adventure "The Lone Ranger," opening July 3, made a surprise appearance at the New York screening to award plaques to two local heroes, FDNY EMT Brendon Hernandez and Vietnam Veteran Sgt. Israel "Jorge" Lugo of the Bronx Vet Center.
Hernandez was also recognized recently by Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly as one of the two heroic EMTs who recently disarmed a deranged man who wrestled a gun away from a NYPD policeman and used it to shoot another officer outside of Harlem Hospital. Lugo is a hero to heroes, having served two tours in Vietnam and dedicated his time thereafter serving his fellow veterans in need by actively volunteering in services that are available to them with regard to health, jobs and housing and also visiting veterans in nursing homes across New York City.
The Lone Ranger Ride for Justice kicked off on June 12 to celebrate local heroes and organizations that stand for justice, integrity and righteousness in their communities. Fans nominated their local heroes and 15 fan screenings were held across the country to honor the chosen local heroes in each of these markets: Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Detroit and San Antonio.
In addition to Hernandez and Lugo, other local heroes honored on Monday night include Vietnam War Veteran and humanitarian Arturo Cuevas (Los Angeles), Shakira, the hero dog (San Francisco), John Gordon and the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation (Chicago), Vince DiSanto and the entire King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company (Philadelphia), Regainne Georges of
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (Miami), Dr. Maura Iversen, Chair of the Northeastern Physical Therapy program whose students assisted at the finish line of the Boston Marathon (Boston), Hector Guzman, a veteran who helped clean up after hurricane Katrina (Houston), Gino Mojica of
Doraville Police Department (Atlanta), Officer Paul Chavez of the Phoenix Police Department (Phoenix), Desmond Fulton and the Denver Fire Department (Denver), Michael Waldrop, veteran, Purple Heart recipient and Founder of Camaraderie Foundation (Orlando), Robert Norris & Jonathan Moore, founders of 2 Men and a Truck who supplied relief aid for those affected by recent
tornado damage (Oklahoma City), Sheriff Deputy Brian Behrend (Detroit) and San Antonio Fire Department (San Antonio).
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' "The Lone Ranger," a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice-taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
"The Lone Ranger" also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.
A Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films presentation, "The Lone Ranger" is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, with screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Justin Haythe and screenplay by Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio.
"The Lone Ranger" releases in U.S. theaters on July 3, 2013.

Wells Carnival Route (pdf 112kb)
The 2020 Wells Carnival is a spectacle not to be missed. We have made a short 6 minute film of the event below. It is said be the biggest illuminated carnival in the world. These huge floats make their way slowly through the medieval streets intertwined with street performers with highly inventive and stunning costumes. As it is dark at this time of year the blaze of colourful lights, music, dancing and beautifully tailored costumes on these floats creates a unique and exciting atmosphere. The tableau floats depict scenes with all the performers in a fixed pose effectively creating a living picture. The carnival is Free to see and all these floats are created by enthusiasts who are raising money for Charity.
The 2020 Wells carnival is scheduled to take place on Friday 20th November at 7.00pm and is a must see for anyone planning to come to the area. If you miss the Wells carnival then you can find it touring a number of other towns around Somerset for a couple of weeks. There is also a fun fair in the market place.

To the editor:
The causes of mental disorders range from a lack of proper diet to conditioning from a stressful environment � such as life within a group of religious extremists.
This root cause of all today�s mass killings is so hard to detect.
One has to be crazy to consider suicide as some kind of profitable venture. How can you tell, outside of the obvious signs that mimic many other health problems, if mental health is the real problem? Treatment for mental health is hit or miss in lots of cases. Perhaps, mental health should be more aggressively researched for better detection and treatment.
As we have seen with our drug war, outlawing the supply of drugs only puts control and profit in the hands of those who have no respect for law. The same situation works with guns.
A law banning mentally unstable people from these things can only work if criminals do not sell to them, they do not steal these items, and we know of their issues in the first place. Good luck getting around the Health Information Patient Privacy issues while you�re at it.
A little less stress in our lives might be a good start to better mental fitness, but all we get from Washington, D.C., is more stress. Many mental problems can be abated with exercise, a healthy diet, meditation and a little less rhetorical madness from partisan politics.
Or we could try our best not to upset the crazies that are mostly fanatical religious and political extremists.

20 days later and my order has not been shipped. I have contacted the seller twice to ask about when it will be shipped but no response. This is a scam.
Do not waste your money and time. Seller lacks respect for customers, does not even return messages. The shoes I got do not look anything like in the picture, soles are a different color and look cheap, applications are totally different and not delicate. I wanted to return the shoes because they're way too small (bought a size 1 but it probably fits a child size 9 or 10) and I have sent the seller about 4 messages without getting any instructions of how to return the shoes and get a refund.
Have not received any confirmation on shipping and it's been 2 weeks. Need these shoes for a wedding. Hard to find sellers contact information. Will probably not order from them again.
Thank you for your business! If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me using the "Contact this seller" button. I am happy to assist you.
After 2 weeks your items will automatically renewed for another 60 days and $0.23 per item will be added to your billing ledger.

How To Keep Free From Internet stalking bullying and harassment
(Daryl Nelson ConsumerAffairs) Sooner or later, we all get that email that we don't want, or receive something posted on our social network page that we wish we never got, and whether the message is from a company, an overzealous salesperson or from a personal acquaintance, they can be annoying and even upsetting at times.
But at what point do these unwanted messages go from being just annoying to becoming full-on harassment?
The month of January is Annual Stalking Awareness Month, and according to the Stalking Resource Center of the National Center for Victims of Crime, stalking someone online has a lot to do with repeated attempts of harassment and a certain level of deliberateness, which isn't always the case with someone occasionally sending you a message that you don't want.
Michael Kaiser who is the executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) says cyber-stalking is nothing that consumers should take lightly, and as soon as you notice a pattern or receive just one threatening message, you should contact your local police department as soon as possible.
"In order to effectively combat unwanted contact, it is important to know the signs of stalking and how to deal with such related incidents," said Kaiser in a statement.
"Aggressive outreach such as persistent emails, harassing posts or text messages are not acceptable forms of online communication and NCSA encourages affected individuals to contact local law enforcement or victim service agencies to report such activities and get help."
Take action
Experts say if you ever find yourself a victim of cyber-stalking you should immediately suspend your account whether it's your email or social network page, and consumers should always make sure all of their contact pages have the correct privacy settings, so it's difficult for cyber-stalkers to locate you in the first place.
Experts also say that Internet stalkers and other online criminals will more than likely pass up the person who makes it more difficult for them to commit their wrongdoings, and even though it can be tempting at times, people should keep the sharing of their personal information to a minimum, like announcing you'll be out of town for the next two weeks.
Safety experts also stress for people to create usernames that aren't gender specific, and be sure not to publicize any information that may give a cyber-stalker an idea where you live.
So posting that photo of you standing next to your new car in the driveway, that also happens to show a street sign or a familiar landmark in the background is a great big no-no, say experts.
Go Google yourself
Anupama Srinivasan, who is a program director for a non-profit organization that deals with violence against women, says that people should Google themselves just to get an idea of what personal information is already out there.
And just because you may see your name and address online, doesn't mean that you have to accept it being there, because obviously the more personal information you're able to remove from cyber space, the harder it will be for someone to stalk or harass you.
"If you locate personal information like address, phone numbers or pictures or information you don't want to be out there, speak to the people involved and get it deleted," said Srinivasan in a published interview.
"Write to the website that lists your phone number without your permission and get it removed. Use your full name and/or the name you go by generally to Google yourself, and be sure to add 'plus photographs' in your Google search."
According to the NCSA one in five people in the U.S. have experienced cyber based crimes that include the stealing of personal information, stealing of identities, bullying and of course cyber-stalking, and over 29 percent of consumers said they know someone who was a victim of an Internet crime.
In all 50 states in the U.S. cyber-stalking is a crime, but some say it doesn't get the same amount of attention that other Internet crimes do, like identity theft or pilfering money, and for this very reason experts say that consumers need to be even more vigilante when it comes to sharing too much information online and "friending" people they may not know.
The NCSA also says that removing old Internet posts or entries is a smart idea, and just like any other kind of stalker, cyber-stalkers will look under every stone until they can piece together your whereabouts or the necessary information to harass you or even locate where you are.
Be discreet
Also, consumers should not be posting their whereabouts online, as it's now commonplace for people to let everyone know which restaurant they're eating at or which movie they're attending, and for someone willing to sit by a computer to learn all of your daily movements, you'll just be making it that much more easier for them to accomplish whatever bad deed they're intending to commit.
Experts also say as parents use some of these safety measures in their own Internet use, they should also continually remind their children of what to do in order to diminish the chances of them getting stalked or bullied online.
"Adults are not the only ones at risk when it comes to cyber-stalkers," said Gary Davis in a statement, who is the vice president of global consumer marketing at the software security company McAfee.
"Parents need to communicate with their children about such Internet dangers and promote Internet safety. Be sure to secure your devices with strong passwords and frequent updates, connect only with people you know, and be careful not to share contact information or your location," he said.

Harvest Report: Donkey and Goat Winery, Berkeley CA
Fall in California means wine harvest season; and the last grapes are rolling into the cellars in the next week or so. I recently caught up with Jared Brandt of Donkey and Goat, and he shared some photos of this year's crush.
What's New On Serious Eats
I asked Brandt how he felt about this year's harvest, and he said that besides exhaustion, "In many ways, it was very easy....Harvest for us was a return to a more normal year. No real hot spells. No rain so far. Yields were up except on Grenache and some of our whites. I think it will be a good year—with winemakers able to make their own choices on the wine. Last year," he said, "the vintage dictated many wines."
Donkey and Goat started their harvest with their Improbable Chardonnay from ungrafted vines on Augugst 17th. "The wine finished its slow fermentation sometime in late September and now the barrels are topped up, waiting for malos to start. Since we leave this up to the wine, malos will start sometime next spring if not sooner." (The start of malolactic fermentation depends on weather and cellar temperature, Brandt notes.) As of Monday, Brandt said many of the reds are fermenting in wood vats. They punch down 3 times a day, "and when they are ready, pressing and then barrel aging."
But they aren't quite done with harvest yet—there are still grapes in two more vineyards that they have yet to pick.
There are quite a few things to be excited about during this harvest—including, potentially, a sparkling wine from Donkey and Goat. "We are trying another pet nat this year," said Brandt. "Third vintage which will hopefully be the charm. Untended chardonnay (another ungrafted vineyard) finally produced some fruit—10 barrels worth versus 2 last year, which is very exciting. Harvest is also the time when we get ready to bottle the remaining wines from last year—I am very excited about the Syrahs from last year."

VANCOUVER — Got a beater car worth at least $5,400? You can trade that in as a down payment on a brand-new Vancouver condo.
That's the pitch by InGastown, a new 61-unit condo development at 150 East Cordova, which launched an innovative program Wednesday banking on condo buyers' willingness to go car-free in exchange for home ownership in Vancouver's sky-high real estate market.
Car for a Condo lets car owners trade in their vehicles towards a condo unit in the gritty but fast-gentrifying neighbourhood just west of Main.
"Cars are a terrible asset," said Cam Good, president of real estate marketing firm Key Marketing.
"For someone trying to get started in life and wanting to become a homeowner, taking a depreciating asset and literally turning it into an appreciating asset is a life-changing decision."
The low buy-in of $5,400 is possible thanks to a two-per-cent down payment program offered by Vancity.
It allows qualified buyers to shell out only two per cent of, say, a $269,800 one-bedroom, 519-square-foot unit — although monthly payments will be required over the next 16 months of construction to get the buyer to at least a five-per-cent deposit before the building is completed in 2016.
Car for a Condo is just one of many lures condo developers and marketers are dangling to attract buyers in today's less-frenzied real estate market.
Some developers offer credits or discounts off purchase prices. Others offer more imaginative lures.
In North Vancouver, Seylynn Village is raffling off a new home. Last spring, east Vancouver project Boheme Living offered a free Fiat to buyers of selected units.
InGastown, which is 40-per-cent sold, is taking a different tack.
Good, who came up with the gimmick after talking to buyers who were giving up their cars or who don't own vehicles to begin with, is betting the appeal of a downtown location in an urban hub near transit will be enough for buyers to give up their car keys.
The development will not have any resident parking spaces. Homeowners automatically get a free Modo Car co-op membership, and access to two co-op vehicles parked on-site.
Potential buyers can bring their cars to the sales centre at 32 Water St., where an on-site appraiser can assess the value of the vehicle on the spot.
"It just connects the dots for most people," said Good.

Conventional Mortgage - McGlone
Highlights of the Conventional Mortgage program:
- Allows for the purchase or refinance of single family second homes
- Allows owner-occupants and investors to purchase or refinance 1-4 units, townhouses, approved condos, or Planned Unit Developments (PUDs)
- Typically a 5% down payment - Gift allowed
- Allowable seller contributions depend upon the down payment and occupancy
- No first-time home buyer restrictions
- Co-signers are allowed to help buyers qualify for single family residences
- Conforming loan limits apply
What is a Conventional Mortgage?
A Conventional loan refers to a mortgage that follows the guidelines of government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac but is not guaranteed or insured by the federal government.
Conventional mortgages can be classified as conforming or non-conforming. A conforming loan meets the parameters set forth by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac while a non-conforming loan is one which exceeds the maximum loan limits established by these GSEs.
How a Conventional Mortgage works:
Conventional loans can be insured or uninsured. The insurance for conventional loans is referred to as Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and is a policy issued to provide protection to the lender in the event of financial loss due to a borrower's default. Generally, a loan over 80% of the property's value will require PMI insurance.
A strong credit history is a typical requirement for a conventional mortgage. Lenders tend to offer lower rates to borrowers who have clean credit histories and higher credit scores.
Conventional programs typically require a 5% down payment which must come from the borrower's own funds. After this initial 5%, the remaining funds may be a gift to the homebuyer from a conventional allowable source. Gift funds that meet or exceed 20% of the property's value do not require a minimum buyer contribution.
Conforming loan limits are set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) and are evaluated on an annual basis.
Purchase and refinance transactions are eligible for conventional loan programs.
You will benefit from the Conventional loan program if you:
- Have a 20% or greater down payment
- Need financing for a second home or an investment property
- Desire the ability to waive the requirement to escrow for taxes and insurance with a down payment of 20% or greater
- Need to finance a property that exceeds FHA loan limits
- Are looking for flexible PMI requirements for loans with down payments less than 20%

BASF introduces EPD development service for concrete mixtures
New, third-party validated tool enables BASF to assist concrete producers in developing EPD labels
The Admixture Systems business of BASF's Construction Chemicals division today announces the launch of a third-party critically reviewed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Manager tool for concrete. This tool enables BASF to create customer specific EPDs for concrete to help communicate the environmental performance of their mixtures.
In addition to developing the EPD content through its EPD Manager tool, BASF provides a seamless process for the third-party critical review and registration of the final EPD document through the Program Operator. The final high-quality EPD can be submitted to architects and engineers.
Often compared to nutrition labels, EPDs are third-party verified reports published by product manufacturers that provide quality assured and comparable information regarding environmental performance of their products. These declarations enable building designers to compare the environmental performance of products that fulfill the same function to make educated decisions about the products they use.
With its EPD development capabilities, BASF can help concrete producers meet LEED v4 requirements for the new materials and resources credit.
"We are excited to further support our concrete producer customers by providing a streamlined, technically advanced process to help them develop specific concrete mixture EPDs," said Juan Alfonso Garcia, Vice President of BASF's Admixture Systems business in North America. "Many of our customers may want to provide EPDs and better communicate and quantify the environmental impacts of their mixtures. This tool allows us to assist our customers through that process."
The BASF tool has been independently verified by NSF International and complies with the North American Product Category Rules (PCR) for ISO 14025 Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) developed by the Carbon Leadership Forum.
The EPD Manager tool is the newest element of BASF's portfolio of products and services for sustainable construction, including Eco-Efficiency Analysis.

Coastal Carolina Golf
Coastal Carolina Golf is a website dedicated to informing golfers about courses, packages, tournaments and more along the coast of both Carolinas! The first of its kind with all courses listed, interactive maps, videos, golf tips and product reviews. Check it out at: https://CoastalCarolinaGolf.com
Why Coastal Carolina Golf?
Myrtle Beach, S.C. is home to the "Grand Strand," which spans from Brunswick County in North Carolina, to historic Georgetown to the south. Within this stretch of about 70 miles there are more than 100 golf courses, making Myrtle Beach one of the most golf-rich regions in the world.
It also ranks at the top in variety, garnering the nickname, the "supermarket of golf." Myrtle Beach long ago shed its reputation as a bargain-basement destination and today there are more than a dozen ultra high-end courses ranging from $150-200 in the peak season – still a tremendous bargain versus most other destinations in the world.
Golf Digest has been especially kind to the Grand Strand, ranking 10 of its courses in its "Top 100 You Can Play" list, more than any other destination in America.
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club, located right off the beach, is the area's most prestigious golf course, while the Barefoot Resort up the road features an all-star foursome of designers on its courses: Dye, Fazio, Love III and Greg Norman. Many of the world's top architects have at least one design somewhere along the Grand Strand.
Coastal Carolina Golf can be divided into three regions: the North and South Strand, and Myrtle Beach itself.
The South Strand begins around Murrells Inlet, a small fishing village home to world-class seafood restaurants along the Marshwalk. It's also here where the lowcountry comes to life, filled with centuries-old oaks on historic Carolina plantation properties. Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, Pawleys Plantation and the Heritage Club highlight the South Strand.
The North Strand, comprised of North Myrtle Beach to Sunset Beach in North Carolina seemingly has a golf course on every block. Multi-course resorts such as Ocean Ridge Plantation and Sea Trail dazzle, while River's Edge and Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links boast natural, waterfront beauty.
Myrtle Beach itself is home to plenty of golf courses in its own regard, from historic Pine Lakes International, the area's first course, the Dunes Club nearby, and glamorous Grande Dunes along the Intracoastal Waterway. Myrtle Beach's main artery, Highway 501, features two multi-course facilities, Legends and Myrtle Beach National, home to the renowned King's North course.
Climate and golf seasons
You can golf year-round on the Coastal Carolinas, and there are up to a dozen different rate seasons annually for golf courses in Myrtle Beach. While Myrtle Beach is its busiest during the summer months, Coastal Carolina Golf 's peak season ranges from mid-March through the last week of April. At this time, courses are in their best condition, greens are fast and smooth, the azaleas are in full bloom and the weather is perfect.
Courses are their cheapest during the summer. At this time of year, you can find tee times for as low as $35-50 at many of the lower-end courses that charge $70-90 during peak season.
Courses are also very busy during the fall and winter months, filled with sun-starved northeasterners and Canadians – many of whom you're certain to see on the beach in their swim trunks despite 60-degree highs. There certainly is a season – and a Coastal Carolina golf course – for everyone here.

Weekly Wrap: Changes in team rankings
The recruiting period has offered a number of changes and commitments each week.
The past seven days shook up the team rankings, while the class of 2010 is starting to shape up as a number of big commitments took place.
Rivals.com's Justin Young looks back at the goings on in the recruiting world.
The class of 2009 team recruiting rankings had quite a big shake-up due to the numerous commitments and changes over the last seven days. The biggest change is expanding the team rankings from 15 to 20 teams.
UAB trades junior college player Casey Mitchell for Tuesday night commitment Dexter Fields and remains at No. 7 overall. Mitchell, a Georgia native playing at Florida's Chipola Junior College, visited Tennessee last week and is hoping to land an offer from the Vols. UAB didn't waste time finding a replacement for Mitchell in Fields, a 6-foot-2 combo guard from Orlando (Fla.) Olympia.
Texas makes an impressive debut in the team rankings, checking in at No. 8 overall, thanks in large part to the star power of Avery Bradley. The No. 8 overall player in the class of 2009, Bradley is the third-best shooting guard in the nation. He was the highest-rated player to make a commitment over the last week. The Tacoma, Wash., native joins Duncanville (Texas) wing Shawn Williams, giving the Longhorns an impressive 1-2 punch.
UCLA, last year's winner in the team rankings, debuts at No. 13 thanks to the commitment of Tyler Honeycutt. The top-30 prospect from Sylmar (Calif.) High School gives the Bruins a long presence on the wing. He made the biggest debut of any player in the Rivals150 after a very impressive summer showing. The four-star prospect joins Reeves Nelson and Brendan Lane, both Rivals150 prospects, in the recruiting haul for the Bruins.
Oklahoma State drops to No. 16 overall after it was learned that junior college prospect Brad Reese quickly reneged on his commitment to the Cowboys. The Gulf Coast (Fla.) Community College star is down to LSU and Texas Tech, he recently told Rivals.com.
Southern California went across the country to land Fayette County (Ga.) star Noel Johnson, a top-40 prospect. He was one of the many big-time visitors for the Ohio State-USC football game on Sept. 13. He is the first player of the group to commit to the Trojans. Because of his decision, USC checks in at No. 18 overall. He joins Rivals150 prospect Demetrius Walker.
While Oklahoma and UNLV didn't land any commitments this week, the two check in at No. 19 and 20, respectively, because of the strong three-man classes each school has locked up so far.
There were a dozen players in the 2009 and 2010 Rivals.com national rankings that committed in the last week.
For the second straight week, a big-time big man made a big-time decision to attend a not-so-big school. Patterson (N.C.) big man Rashanti Harris committed to Georgia State last Friday, surprising the recruiting world with his decision to play for the budding CAA program.
Harris, a Mississippi native, is the No. 26-ranked player in the class of 2009 and the highest-ranked player since Beas Hamga committed to UNLV in 2007 from a non-Big Six school. Hamga was also the No. 26-ranked player.
Citing his long-standing relationship with Rod Barnes during his time as the head coach at Ole Miss, Harris turned down the likes of Memphis and other high-majors to set up shop in Atlanta.
Harris' presence in the middle and Barnes' post-oriented offense should have the Panthers playing for the top spot in the super-competitive CAA. Georgia State has not been to the NCAA tournament since 2001. With Harris on board, that could change quickly.
Just how good is Harris? He dominated the 2007 City of Palms tournament and was the talk of the tournament. He won the individual battles against the likes of Eloy Vargas (Florida) and Greg Monroe (Georgetown).
Wake Forest won the race for Ari Stewart. The four-star wing from Marietta (Ga.) Wheeler favored a number of schools during his wild recruitment. At one point, Xavier was at the top of his list, then Oregon and finally Wake Forest. He gives the Demon Deacons a big-time athlete on the wing and joins an impressive group of combo forwards already on the roster.
Despite being injured and out for the year, Forsyth (Ga.) Mary Persons power forward Terrance Shannon looked at all of his options and decided Florida State was the right fit for him. The Rivals150 forward committed last Friday.
Getting a chance to get back home, Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep forward Clarence Trent is off to Washington. The Gig Harbor, Wash., native has been away for the past two years at Findlay Prep - a school in the Las Vegas area - to improve his academics.
Minnesota was in search of a point guard and found one in Justin Cobbs. The three-star guard from Torrance (Calif.) Bishop Montgomery visited the Big Ten school last weekend and committed on the trip.
It was one of the worst-kept secrets in the class of 2009, so Brandon Triche finally made his commitment to Syracuse over the last week. The 6-2 guard from Dewitt (N.Y.) Jamesville-Dewitt gives the Orange a physical scorer on the wing.
Charlotte (N.C.) Latin big man David Chadwick will move across the country to Washington State.
Los Angeles (Calif.) Campbell Hall guard Keegan Hornbuckle verbally committed to Colorado on Tuesday night.
Mike Stovall, a former Oregon State player now at Mineral Area College (Mo.), is headed back to his native Chicago. The 6-5 wing committed to DePaul.
Apparently, good things come in twos in the class of 2010.
Ohio State locked up the early lead for the top spot in the team rankings after a huge week of commitments. Five-star guard Jordan Sibert of Cincinnati (Ohio) Princeton became the third player ranked inside the top 20 to commit to the Buckeyes.
Sibert is the ninth five-star player to commit to Ohio State since the class of 2006. That is the most of any school in the nation during that period.
Sibert wasn't the only player to join Thad Matta's program last week. Rivals150 prospect Lenzelle Smith Jr. also pledged to the school. He also considered Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia and Marquette.
Tennessee double dipped over the weekend, too. Five-star guard Josh Selby of the famed DeMatha High School in Maryland committed to the Vols while on an unofficial visit to Knoxville. Tennessee beat out the likes of UCLA, Louisville, Texas, Florida, Memphis and Wake Forest.
Liberty County (Ga.) guard Jordan McRae also visited Tennessee's campus and had a chance to get to know Selby a little deeper while on the trip. McRae also committed when on campus. He selected the Vols over interest from Indiana, Wake Forest, Texas, Kentucky and Cincinnati.
Purdue secured a commitment from Rivals150 guard Terone Johnson. The 6-2 guard is a perfect fit for the Boilermakers.
It was an outstanding week for commitments at the mid-major level.
Chester (Pa.) prospect Rahlir Jefferson will stay home and attend Temple. The 6-6 do-everything forward projects to be a fine player at the Atlantic 10 level.
South Holland (Ill.) Seton Academy guard Tony Nixon is a major commitment to Northern Illinois. The 6-4 guard is a big-time shooter on the perimeter and should prove to be a major threat in the postseason.
The same can be said for David Brown of Rockton (Ill.) Hononegah. The 6-2 guard committed to Western Michigan and should be a major shooting threat from Day One.
Steven Bjornstad, a center from Vancouver (Wash.) Columbia River, is off to Nevada.
George Mason locked up St. Patrick (N.J.) wing Paris Bennett after his weekend visit to the Colonial Athletic Association school.
Cordova (Tenn.) Christian Brothers guard Drew Barham is headed to Southern Illinois.
Arkansas State has a potential star coming to town in Birmingham (Ala.) Erwin High School forward Brandon Peterson.
His Birmingham Ice AAU teammate, Edward Daniel of Birmingham (Ala.) Woodlawn, committed to Murray State. Daniel joins Kennesaw (Ga.) North Cobb wing Colin Slotter, who also committed this week.
Chicago (Ill.) Hales Franciscan point guard D.J. Cooper, one of the best mid-major point guards in the class of 2009, will play for John Groce at Ohio. The Bobcats also received a commitment from Solon (Ohio) power forward Reggie Keely.
Missouri City (Texas) Hightower forward Garlon Green will head north to Fort Worth to play at TCU.
Huntersville (N.C.) North Mecklenburg forward Kyle Gaillard is off to William & Mary.
Jordan Stevens, a 6-5 wing from Saratoga Springs (N.Y.) High School, is headed to Holy Cross.
Kennesaw (Ga.) North Cobb Christian center Milos Kleut verbally committed to Lipscomb.
Mendota Heights (Minn.) Sibley forward Chris Halvorsen is a major score for Homer Drew and Valparaiso.
Dacula (Ga.) center Brian Cole visited UNC Greensboro over the weekend and committed to the school on the trip.
Asheville (N.C.) wing Wakefield Ellison pledged to East Carolina.
Gainesville (Fla.) P.K. Yonge shooting guard Josh Snodgrass committed to American.
