Lewis University is sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, an international Roman Catholic congregation of Brothers dedicated to education and founded by Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of educators. De La Salle transformed education by developing "a spirituality of teaching and learning"
In 1960, the Brothers of the Christian Schools became the sponsors of Lewis College at the invitation of Bishop Martin D. McNamara of the
The first group of seven founding Brothers combined their enthusiastic efforts with those of the existing faculty at Lewis, forming a strong Lasallian partnership and inaugurating a comprehensive program of improvements. Among these initiatives were securing nationally-recognized accreditation and construction of new facilities which led to significant growth. Since those beginnings, more than 100 Brothers have served the students at Lewis University at various times during the last 50 or more years.
Today under the leadership of Brother James Gaffney, FSC, President, twenty-one Christian Brothers serve the University in positions such as professor, administrator, librarian, counselor, university minister, and archivist. The Brothers continue to dedicate themselves to all aspects of university life, thus enhancing the overall quality and the commitment to fidelity, service and social justice.
The official name of the Brothers' Congregation is the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. To retain the connection with their founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the Brothers call themselves De La Salle Christian Brothers in ordinary conversation. The FSC following the Brothers' names stands for the Latin name of the congregation, Fratres Scholarum Christianarum. Pope Benedict XIII granted approval of the Institute in 1725. However, the influence of the Brothers began nearly 335 years ago when De La Salle formed a community of dedicated educators to provide a human and Christian education to young people, especially the poor and the disadvantaged. He also encouraged spirituality related to mission and promoted teaching as a vocation, oriented to the students' overall development. The Brothers have been transforming lives through Lasallian education since 1680.

By Patrick Wood, Editor
When push came to shove, Humpty Dumpty discovered the shortest distance to the cobblestones below: straight down.
Being quite dead, Humpty's body is stinking up the whole neighborhood. The eyewitnesses call it murder. The coroner, bypassing the eyewitnesses, rules it an accident. The public clamors for taxpayer funds to clean up the mess. Congress passes a bill for superglue to be liberally applied to the broken pieces of shell. The courts finally rule that the eyewitnesses are guilty of hate-speech. Contractors who administrate the reconstruction project get rich.
And so goes the circle of life. Makes no sense, does it?
The global economy, including its stock markets and banking system, is a decaying, dead corpse in process of a massive credit deflation. Until it hits absolute bottom (wherever and whenever that is), no life-support system will help. No government bailout at taxpayer expense will help. No nationalization of body parts (e.g., Fannie, Freddie, AIG) will help.
Nevertheless, let's analyze the bailout mania that will most certainly one day be declared the largest and most brazen swindle in the history of the world.
In light of and in response to the rapidly decaying banking emergency, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke went hand in hand to Congress to ask for $700 billion to repair the system. Paulson demanded that no strings be attached; no judicial oversight; no accountability. "Trust us,†they said.
Their demand was to take rotted assets off the balance sheets of global banks, and sell them to the U.S. government. No problem raising our national debt by another 12%. No problem that the U.S. credit rating is at risk of being downgraded, costing taxpayers hundreds of billions extra in interest charges to service the existing national debt. No problem that foreign banks can line up at the trough alongside American banks. No problem that the toxic-waste assets don't even have to be backed by U.S. mortgages. No problem that these same global bankers are the ones who trashed the credit markets in the first place.
They loved the privatization of massive profits and executive bonuses for two decades of excessive risk and creative accounting practices. They now love the socialization of their inevitable losses as their house of cards comes crashing down.
The Paulson/Bernanke proposition to Congress was simple: Pay up or the country will collapse.
Is anyone really for this bailout?
On September 29, just before the Senate and House passed similar bailout legislation, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) made a passionate plea to the House to reject Paulson's and Bernanke's demands. Therein he presented a signed petition of no less than 400 economists, including three Nobel Laureates that stated, in part:
"We ask Congress not to rush, to hold appropriate hearings, and to carefully consider the right course of action.â€
Meanwhile, Senators and Representatives reported that enraged citizens were flooding email servers and switchboards with demands to vote "NO†on bailout legislation – up to 99 percent of them!
Yet, the Senate and the House passed the legislation anyway, behaving like herds of panicked wildebeests on the savanna in Africa.
If everyone other than our elected officials knows that Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke are brazenly plundering the United States citizenry, then why did they unanimously pass this bailout legislation?
We've been had, folks
German philosopher Georg Hegel wrote, "We learn from history that we do not learn from history.â€
Rep. Louis McFadden, who had served as Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee for over 10 years, was hopping mad about the Federal Reserve and its shameless abuse of the U.S. government and its citizens.
In a speech to the House of Representatives, McFadden stated:
"Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the Fed. The Fed has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation's debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Fed have cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.
"This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.
"Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime." [Emphasis added.]
Would you be surprised to learn that McFadden's blistering tirade was not delivered in 2008 but rather in 1934 during the darkest days of the Great Depression?
You see, this isn't the first time in our nation's history that we have been attacked by the "moneyed vultures†who seek to swindle the taxpayer to cover up their own misdeeds.
Read carefully as McFadden continues,
"The United States has been ransacked and pillaged. Our structures have been gutted and only the walls are left standing. While being perpetrated, everything the world would rake up to sell us was brought in here at our expense by the Fed until our markets were swamped with unneeded and unwanted imported goods priced far above their value and make to equal the dollar volume of our honest exports, and to kill or reduce our favorite balance of trade. As Agents of the foreign central banks the Fed try by every means in their power to reduce our favorable balance of trade. They act for their foreign principal and they accept fees from foreigners for acting against the best interests of these United States. Naturally there has been great competition among foreigners for the favors of the Fed.
"What we need to do is to send the reserves of our National Banks home to the people who earned and produced them and who still own them and to the banks which were compelled to surrender them to predatory interests.
"Mr. Chairman, there is nothing like the Fed pool of confiscated bank deposits in the world. It is a public trough of American wealth in which the foreigners claim rights, equal to or greater than Americans. The Fed are the agents of the foreign central banks. They use our bank depositors' money for the benefit of their foreign principals. They barter the public credit of the United States Government and hire it out to foreigners at a profit to themselves.
"All this is done at the expense of the United States Government, and at a sickening loss to the American people. Only our great wealth enabled us to stand the drain of it as long as we did.
"We need to destroy the Fed wherein our national reserves are impounded for the benefit of the foreigners. We need to save America for Americans.â€
In fact, McFadden did actually bring formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including conspiracy, fraud, unlawful conversion and treason. Unfortunately, the charges were ultimately ignored, allowing the perpetrators to continue for another season.[NOTE: To his great discredit, McFadden was openly anti-Semitic and an early supporter of Adolf Hitler during the 1930's because of his policies toward Jews. McFadden blamed Jews, wrongly so, for the financial chicanery he otherwise clearly observed.
For many decades thereafter, experts, including Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, have suggested that the Federal Reserve was directly responsible for the 1929 stock market crash and the subsequent Great Depression.
In 2002, Ben Bernanke (then merely a Fed governor) delivered a speech on the occasion of Friedman's 90th birthday at the University of Chicago, and addressed Friedman's work on the cause of the Great Depression. Bernanke concluded by stating, "You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again.â€
All promises aside, guess what? They're baaack!
FBI opens investigation
On September 24, 2008, right before Henry Paulson demanded bailout funds from Congress, the FBI had an announcement of its own. Namely, that it is investigating Lehman Brothers, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for fraud, improper accounting practices, conspiracy, etc.
These four companies are the remaining and principal instigators of the subprime credit fiasco. In the case of Fannie and Freddie, there have been accusations of fraud and corruption for as long as they have existed.
But, Paulson and the Treasury had already nationalized them, and shrewdly so: When wrongdoing is ultimately proven, it will be hard to hold anyone accountable or to punish the companies since the U.S. Treasury owns them.
Don't be fooled into thinking that it's just about money: It's also about power.
The Secretary of the Treasury now has near-dictatorial power over this newly formed socialist financial empire.
Of course, this is consistent with the incredible power consolidation of the Executive Branch of our government under president George Bush during the last 8 years. During this centralization, Congress and the Judiciary have been methodically weakened to the point that some political analysts believe that the President could, if he wished, declare martial law and dictatorship at the same time with little recourse from the other branches of the government.
Robert Pastor (father of the North American Community) said last year that "having a crisis would force decisions that otherwise might not get made.â€
He was absolutely right. In normal times, the combined Congress would have laughed Paulson and Bernanke right out of town. The current financial crisis has provided cover and every opportunity for the financial cartel to take what little we have left.
Indeed, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Some residents in The Woodlands say their homes are falling apart because their homes were built on fault lines.
A year after moving into a half million dollar home in The Woodlands, Dennis Colvin noticed something was "not right."
Colvin assumed it was a foundation issue.
"Major cracks right there up each side here," Colvin said. "It is just a house full of cracks."
Colvin spent more than $75,000 on repairs.
"I just keep repairing everything as it breaks," Colvin said. "There is a lot of money spent doing that."
A geologist told Colvin his house was sitting on a fault line.
The land has pulled his house apart. It now drops nearly seven inches from the front door to the back door.
"You can feel it," Colvin said. "When you walk in here you are walking uphill."
Geology experts said that these fault lines can be notoriously difficult to find. Dr. Don Van Nieuwenhuise specializes in finding these types of faults.
"You can't stop them," Nieuwenhuise said. "If you have identified one you have to stop building on them."
There are now several faults identified in the Woodlands and 17 homeowners, including Colvin, were suing The Woodlands Development Corporation over what is under their homes.
"Now I have an appraised value of $33,000," Colvin said.

A lot of water has been coming down all across southern & eastern KY. That's why Laurel, Pulaski, Wayne, McCreary, Jackson, Whitley, and Rockcastle Counties have been targeted with a Flood Watch through Tuesday morning.
The rain won't last forever as the colder air will begin creeping into the region and change everything over to snow. This is where things get even more interesting.I have been asked many times today about accumulation possibilities. Yes, we could see some accumulation with this system. if the cold air got in here as I am writing this blog... it could be all kinds of interesting! I just think that the timing of the changeover will be too late in the game for a substanial amount of snow in east KY. That and some dry air working into play. Which is typical with this kind of a set-up!
I am going to go with our in house model on numbers for possible accumulations. I'm not basing this forecast soley on the one model. I just think the numbers look pretty good for broadcast and blog purposes!
That's through Wednesday night at 11pm.
I'll shoot another update out later!

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Oklahoma's economy reached a number of milestones as it showed expansion in January, State Treasurer Ken Miller said Tuesday as he released the state's monthly gross receipts to the treasury report.
"For the first time in Oklahoma history, January gross receipts exceeded $1 billion," Miller said. "Income tax withholding set an all-time record, as did total sales tax collections."
Miller said the record collections reflect economic recovery and are not related to increased tax rates that have been cut over the past several years.
"This month's treasury report illustrates that Oklahoma's economy is doing well with individual earnings and spending up more than ever before," he said.
Total gross collections topped $1.009 billion for the month. Income tax withholding in January was $268 million. The previous withholding record was $246.3 million, set in January 2012. Gross sales tax collections this month were $365.3 million. The previous sales tax record was $364.9 million, set in December.
January receipts from all sources grew by 1.4 percent from the prior year, and collections for the past 12 months were up by 3.2 percent. Gross production collections in January fell by 15.6 percent from the prior year.
"The state economy is showing its resilience, even as collections from the production of oil and natural gas continue to underperform," he said.
Collections from the past 12 months are $1.74 billion higher than when gross receipts bottomed out in February 2010. More than 90 percent of the revenue lost from the peak of the expansion cycle in December 2008 has now been recovered.
Other positive signs: Miller said more positive economic news can be found in the most recent unemployment figures, which set Oklahoma's December unemployment rate at 5.1 percent. That compares to a national rate of 7.9 percent. One year ago, the state's unemployment rate was 6.3 percent.
The latest Business Conditions Index for Oklahoma report bodes well for the state's economy. The January survey shows Oklahoma with a rating of 53.8, compared to 52.1 in December. Numbers above 50 indicate anticipated growth. According to the survey, Oklahoma has among the best performing economies in the region.

July 31, 2014
BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) – Grocery stores Wednesday evening were filled with people thankful for the few last minutes, because they say that's the only time they can get things done.
"I always say I'm going to get it done earlier, but it never happens," Sarah Boley said.
Boley was working to check the last items off her list at the Tower Food Fair in Barboursville. Her family comes in each Thanksgiving from Florida.
"It's a very special thing, especially if you can only get family together once or twice a year," she said.
Turkey and stuffing are staples at most Thanksgiving dinners; rotisserie chicken, not so much.
"It takes at least 20 minutes to find the best chicken," Falan Boley said. "I try to find the best chicken I can."
Falan's 11-year-old son has eaten chicken on Thanksgiving since he was a toddler because it was more tender and easier for him to chew than turkey.
"He gets excited," she said. "It makes him happy. Last year he was sitting there, and all my family is sitting around, and he's like, 'Look, I've still got my chicken.' He thinks it's funny."
Kathy Cremeans was another shopper getting last minute items Wednesday night.
"I've been working a lot of hours this week, and I haven't had time to do it," Cremeans said.
Cremeans is also preparing for a less traditional dinner. Her family is having beef brisket her son mailed in from Oklahoma.

well...I'm not a fan. Sorry, I was excited about this recipe and since 4% cottage cheese is all I buy, I thought the ingredients would work well. Obviously it didn't. While easy to follow, the raw mix tasted rather nice. Yes, I'm one to taste something with raw eggs in it, I don't apologize for that, I totally need to know, if the flavor seems to be good. And it was. As I followed to a T, placed in the dish and put in the oven, I looked eagerly in the window of the oven, pacing back and forth, the smell seemed suttled and looked like it was right on track, but the baking took longer to get completely brown on top over an hour and a half, so I pulled it out, waited until it cooled. Used a cutting circle for the center(for presentation) and proceeded to scoop out a corner for tasting,but to see all this water like substance pouring out into the spot I scooped out & defungled over my dismay, it was just gushing with fluids. I thought ok?! tasted the portion I scooped, it was a bit odd in flavor & texture. Hubby also tried it and said, tastes like weird cheese. Yes, okay that's the thought as well, just not out loud. Each one of my kids, said, "we don't like it. What is it?" Needless to say, I went back and looked & looked over the recipe a dozen times, thinking what is wrong with this recipe, there is no water in it, other then in the cottage cheese..possibly should have strained the cottage cheese with cheese cloth 1st? Not sure, won't make again. Sorry.
I was disappointed as this recipe was not like the Ostakaka my mother-in-law always made for Christmas. I had hopes to find something that was easy that matched the taste and consistency. This was easy however did not meet my families standards..

More women approaching middle age are dealing with eating disorders.
At 43-years old, this mother of three still battles an eating disorder.
"I never dealt with anything in my past. It just sort of resurfaced and my first reaction is to stop eating," she says.
She is being treated at the Renfrew Center in Midtown New York City.
Though anorexia and bulimia are typically associated with adolescent girls. Doctors say that this mother is part of a growing population of patients. The eating disorder clinics say that they have recently seen a significant 42% increase in the number of middle age women coming for help.
"We do find that so many women are just coming to terms the fact that they can't go on this way anymore. Many of them started in elementary school," says Dr. Connie Quinn of the Renfrew Center.
Dr. Connie Quinn says anorexia and bulimia can return to a woman later in life if it has not been treated as an adolescent.
"Some of them start specifically at that point in their 30's or 40's when they are experiencing life changes, loss, emptiness, infidelity," says Dr. Quinn.
This mother who asked that we not use her real name for privacy reasons says she was the victim of a childhood trauma and remembers first purging her food at the age of eight-years old. The stress of raising a family and working triggered her destructive behaviors to return recently.
"Once I lose control, I lose control. I lose a lot of weight. I just can't seem to get a grip. And I emotionally eat, so once I'm filled with emotions, I can't eat. I just can't get things under control," she says.
Wednesday (83/62): Sun/Clouds
Refreshing Forecast
Wednesday will feature another comfortable day with below average temperatures and low humidity. Highs in the upper 70s/Low 80s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds.

Is this the new Iowa Defensive Coordinator? Last night Jaleel Johnson, an incoming defensive line recruit, tweeted that "The Iowa hawkeyes will be gettin a new defensive coordinator….the LB coach from the NEW YORK GIANTS!!!!" That name may be familiar to B1G fans as well. Before heading to the NFL, Jim Herrmann was the Defensive Coordinator for the Michigan Wolverines - during a run that included their 1997 National Championship. Two good thoughts: 1) It's always nice to have a coach walk in a living room of a recruit with a National Championship and a Super Bowl ring. 2) He has shown a mastery for beating the offense that Penn State will be running next year. One bad thought: Michigan fans weren't all that sad to see him go. I'm sure there are reasons for that.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A sleeper of the vintage, this impressive St. Emilion, made by Dominique Hebrard, exhibits a pure nose of red and black fruits intertwined with spice box, dried herbs, and subtle wood. Medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and pure with good acidity as well as ripe tannin, it should drink well..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color ... full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock ... [One] of the best wines from Dany and Michel Rolland ... of Fontenil in Fronsac."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Blackberry and black licorice on the nose, with hints of fresh herbs. Full and silky, with a solid core of fruit and tannins. Goes on beautifully...91-94"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Cuvee Prestige, the 2006 Haut-Condissas (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the vineyard's finest parcels), possesses a more saturated color as well as additional structure, body, and intense fruit. The finish is heady and long. This offering should drink nicely for 12-15 years...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from this highly regarded terroir that has rarely been exploited to its maximum potential. Loads of chalk dust intertwined with sweet kirsch, black currants, licorice and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied wine, which has terrific fruit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soft and generous fruit, its tannins enveloped by a warm and ripe juicy fruit layer. The wine is already delicious, showing sweet tannins and a subtle touch of wood."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A gorgeous wine, the 2011 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuovo dell-Ornellaia (57% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot and 12% Cabernet Franc) opens with an inky dark, almost impenetrable appearance and beautifully chiseled - but abundantly intense - aromas of blackberry, dried cherry, rum..
Cellar/Tasting Notes An enormously appealing style of wine with a dark plum/purple color to the rim, its sweet kiss of subtle oak intermixed with Asian spice, plum sauce, black cherries and black currants pushes some of the oak to the background. Plump, opulent, low in acidity and very sexy, this wine can be drunk over..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Blueberry, licorice and sandalwood, with a solid core of fruit. Velvet and mineral. Lots going on. An impressive wine from tiny yields. 75 percent Merlot and 25 percent Cabernet Franc."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."

Mystic Valley Boys Basketball Opens with Win
The Mystic Valley boys' varsity basketball team christened its new gymnasium in grand style with a convincing 56-40 victory over Commonwealth Athletic Conference (CAC) foe, Lynn Tech, on Tuesday night in the 2011-12 season opener for both teams. The win was the school's first ever over a CAC Upper Division team in school history.
The Eagles began the game clicking on all cylinders, jumping out to a 16-8 lead after one quarter, and a 32-14 advantage at intermission.
"Getting out to an early lead was a big plus for us," said Mystic Valley head coach Tony Ferullo. "It gave our players a lot of confidence against one of the traditional power teams in our league."
In the second half, the Eagles continued to play team oriented and inspired basketball, culminating in a 45-30 lead after three quarters. The fourth quarter was filled with many exciting moments as Lynn Tech got hot from the outside and trimmed Mystic Valley's advantage to 45-40 with a little more than five minutes to play. That's when the Eagles became united, collected their composure, made good decisions and raced off to an 11-0 spurt to end the game.
"I'm very proud of our student athletes and they deserve all the credit for this big win," said Ferullo. "They gave a solid effort at both ends of the court and it was a great way to start the season, especially in front of our fans in our new home."
Senior forward "Big Ben" Bottrell led Mystic Valley with 23 points and 14 rebounds. Senior guard Greg Statho (10), junior guard Hari Perisic (7), senior forward Brian O'Connor (6), senior guard Joey Foley (4), junior center Kevin Hazelton (4), and senior guard Kyle Howard (2) also contributed in the scoring column.
The Eagles next game is Thursday when they travel to Methuen to play another CAC opponent, Fellowship Christian Academy.

Cousins raise fish in former hog barn
By Pat Blank
Cousins and long-time business partners Jeff and Mark Nelson have immersed themselves in aquaculture. They're growing fish in a part of the country where pork is king. They've converted a former hog confinement building into a farm-raised fish venture called Iowa's First. They have eighteen, ten thousand gallon tanks filled with hybrid bass which they ship to restaurants all over the country. The Nelsons are also experimenting with growing shrimp. They hope to eventually partner with other farmers in Central Iowa to form a cooperative to reduce the risks and share the costs of the business.

While we were cooking in Tuscany I used a grater to grate Parmesan cheese and zest a lemon for a couple different recipes and as we were working I told Silvio & Manuela how much I loved it. They explained that the grater was made by a company called Microplane and they were from the US and that I should look for it when I get back home. They also said that it worked so well because it was made by a wood-working company that started making kitchen gadgets, so they knew what they were doing when it came to making sharp sustainable tools.
When we got home I refilled the refrigerator and while I was driving around shopping I stopped at Schweppe's, a kitchen gadget store right down the street from our house. I originally went in there to get another large mixing bowl for Jeff to eat his lunch salad's out of and while I was walking around I found THE EXACT SAME GRATER I used while in Italy and I was super excited to have stumbled across it!
Since I've brought the grater home I have used it almost every day and I can't stress enough how awesome it is!
While I'm on the topic of gadgets that work, I also really love my Pampered Chef cutting board (also seen in the feature image). The little edging all the way around catches the liquid when I'm cutting lettuce or tomatoes and doesn't get all over the counter tops. It's just another gadget that I reach for every time I'm working in the kitchen!

TRAVERSE CITY — Willow the feline weaved between the legs of friends gathered around a table for a Halloween activity, clad in an orange-and-black "pumpkin" dress only a kitten could — or would — wear.
The 6-month-old dilute tortoiseshell is the first residential pet, not counting fish, of the Grand Traverse Pavilions' adult day care program.
Housed on the third floor of Willow Cottage on the Pavilions Traverse City campus, the daily program attracts eight to 12 community residents as well as those who live in Willow and the Pavilions' two other assisted living cottages.
"She keeps us entertained with her mischief," said Sarah Musser, the program's life enrichment coordinator and a newbie to cat care and behavior. "She's brought a lot of life and excitement."
Willow — the kitten, that is — was acquired in September through a $10,000 Banfield Charitable Trust pet advocacy grant that supports efforts to keep pets and people together.
Though Willow herself was free, the grant helps pay for her food, medical care, litter and other supplies, like the bed and self-feeding and watering containers under one of her favorite windows, said Darlene Schwartz, program manager for the trust.
In exchange, Willow provides companionship for adult day care participants like Annie Carroll, arguably the kitten's most ardent supporter.
"I don't have a cat at home, but I love this cat," said Carroll, of Traverse City, who likes to curl up with Willow to watch TV. "She's comfortable in your arms."
The idea of pets in senior living arrangements isn't new. Tendercare Health Center — Birchwood has several fish, three cats — including Sylvester, or "Sylvie" for short — and a cockatiel named Tweety on its rehab, long-term care and dementia units, said administrator Melissa Slepicka.
"It's definitely rooted in care centers," said Slepicka, adding that residents feed and brush the cats as a way to stay engaged and meet the emotional needs that responsibilities and jobs provide. "People know that's something that's going to help and make it a homelike environment."
Many independent and assisted living facilities allow residents to have their own small pets in their apartments or to receive pet visits.
"When people come to visit mom or dad, they'll bring either their own pet or the resident's pet," said Keith Christopher, owner of French Manor Senior Living. "I had a gentleman just move in who had a little poodle and his daughter brings it in to visit."
But Penny Hanks, director of residential services at Grand Traverse Pavilions, said she isn't aware of other area assisted living facilities with full-time four-legged communal pets. Christopher and officials for Orchard Creek Senior Living and Healthcare said pets aren't allowed at their assisted living facilities, except for visits.
Hanks, whose son, David, donated Willow after his cat brought her home in August, said the kitten already has made an impact in her short time at the Pavilions.
"We have seen emotions and smiles that we didn't see before, and I think that's a positive thing," Hanks said.
"Several of them enjoy holding her and several remember having cats and tell stories about that," said Musser, who feeds the kitten and admits to buying the Halloween outfit. "And some of them love pets in general. They'll be playing a game in middle of the room and she'll go laying in the middle of the game. She has a laser light she chases and she loves playing with yarn. She has several balls of yarn and several Styrofoam balls that she bats around.
"Sometimes people will be in the living room and she'll go up on the couch next to them or walk along the back, so she's interacting well with them. She's usually close by wherever they are, or sometimes on my desk."
After Willow is spayed and declawed in November, Musser said she'll begin to take the kitten around to Hawthorn and Evergreen, the Pavilions' other assisted living cottages, so those residents can enjoy her.
Both cottages have large aquariums that were paid for and stocked by the same grant.
Hanks said the grant also can help low-income residents pay for food and litter for their pets, and even provides dog-walking and other assistance for residents who can no longer physically care for their pets.
"That's the beauty of it," she said. "It's all about keeping pets and people together."

As you undoubtedly know, the city of Dallas celebrated the opening of Klyde Warren Park in October. The green expanse stretching over Woodall Rodgers Freeway brought 44,000 visitors on opening weekend to the nexus of Uptown and downtown. A wonderful achievement, indeed. But what if I told you that for the same cost Dallas could have three or four more new urban parks plus generate $4 billion in private investment? All we have to do is get creative with a short stretch of highway.
IH-345 is the obscure official name for the sinuous, 1.4-mile elevated freeway that runs between downtown and Deep Ellum. It connects 75 to I-30 and I-45. It's on year 39 of a 40-year lifespan and has already been repaired three times in the past 12 years. It has 487 fatigue cracks and spot welds. The Texas Department of Transportation has offered two recommendations: either keep repairing the old road or rebuild it entirely, at a price likely in the hundreds of millions. There is a third option, though, and it's not getting the consideration it deserves.
As an urban designer, I've been thinking about this highway for quite a while. Two years ago, a friend in real estate development and I were critiquing the various plans for downtown. No proposal to date effectively flipped what we saw as an upside-down real estate market. Land costs are too high, and demand is too low. The costs are driven up by owners holding underdeveloped land as they wait for a windfall when the next high-rise condominium tower lands on their parking lot. And demand is low because freeways have funneled it away from the city, out to the suburbs. So my friend and I began a two-year study of the IH-345 area, its traffic patterns, and the potential for redevelopment. Our conclusion: the highway should be torn down.

Two years ago, the Dallas power elite gathered to peer into our region's future at Metromorphosis, an annual conference on the evolution of Dallas/Fort Worth sponsored by the Greater Dallas Planning Council.
Its theme was the emergence of Dallas as a Global City, and the mood was understandably self-congratulatory, but not smug:
Congratulatory because competition within the global economy is increasingly conducted among urban regions rather than nation states, and Dallas, we were told, had received a strong report card. In fact, we are on the Dean's list. While New York, London, Tokyo and others battle for valedictorian, "Dallas", shorthand for the DFW region, now claims a place on the short list of 25 or so "global cities", due in large part to our central geography and the key strategic connections of DFW Airport.
Not smug though. Attendees sincerely fretted over our terrible grades in a few prerequisites to global standing, which in the sharp-elbows competition among cities could prove our undoing. These problems include poor collaboration among civic organs in tackling deep-seated problems, the lack of any tier-one research universities, and a thoroughgoing sense of Placelessness.
The Dallas postcard is too blank, speech-makers said, arguing that a memorable brand is required to catch the attention of hyper-busy global executives.
Two years on, that blank is rapidly disappearing, as downtown sprouts parks and museums, transit and trails, and Calatrava bridges beckoning to shimmering Oz. And if that keeps a red pin stuck on Dallas in corporate boardrooms, all the better. But if Placelessness afflicts anyone, it is not global CEOs, it's us; the 6.5 million people who call DFW home.
How is it that such a vast urban region has been developed with no sense of Place? The answer lies in the generative pattern of development, the DNA of urban form.
The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to change the practices and standards of urban design and development to support healthy regions and diverse, complete neighborhoods. The North Texas Chapter (CNU-NTX) works to further this mission through education, networking, and outreach within our region.

This policy applies to all Washington and Lee University students, faculty, staff, and volunteers, as well as all visitors to campus (including vendors, contractors, visiting athletes, alumni, parents and guests of students, etc.).
Stalking: For purposes of this policy, "stalking" is defined as conduct occurring on more than one occasion directed at a specific person or persons that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear or apprehension for their safety. Such a course of conduct may involve, but not be limited to, unwanted contact or surveillance in person, by telephone or other electronic means. Stalking is a form of harassment.
To constitute harassment in violation of this policy there must be a finding that the conduct was: (1) based on one or more of the protected categories mentioned above; (2) unwelcome and offensive; and (3) either severe (in the case of isolated incidents) or repeated and pervasive such that it had the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile or abusive work or educational environment at the University. Harassment may also occur if submission to conduct described in (1) and (2) above is an implicit or explicit term or condition of employment, education, or participation in a campus activity or if submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for a decision regarding any University operation or program.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other unwanted verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature may constitute sexual misconduct, depending upon the circumstances of each case. Forms of sexual misconduct include:
1. Sexual harassment, as prohibited harassment is described above
2. Physical assault with sexual intent
3. Sexual contact without consent -- by means of force, threat, intimidation or victim incapacity
4. Sexual intercourse without consent -- by means of force, threat, intimidation or victim incapacity
5. Attempts to commit the sexual offenses listed above
Sexual misconduct in any form is a violation of this policy. However, if there is a reasonable basis for a finding that any misconduct described in numbered items 2-5 above occurred, that misconduct does not have to satisfy the elements of harassment to constitute a violation of this policy.
W&L strongly urges all members of the campus community to play a part in discouraging, responding to, and preventing the types of misconduct prohibited by this policy. W&L encourages the community to speak up when an incident occurs and to report misconduct. Any individual who feels s/he has been subjected to prohibited conduct under this policy is encouraged to seek assistance and resolution. W&L's complaint procedures provide a variety of ways by which an individual may proceed, so that each person may choose an avenue appropriate to his/her particular situation, whether that be informal or formal resolution internally through the University, or external criminal or civil processes where the conduct may amount to unlawful discrimination, harassment (including stalking), sexual misconduct, or retaliation.
The University will treat inquiries and complaints about prohibited discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, or retaliation confidentially to the extent possible, in accordance with the complaint procedures referenced herein. In some circumstances, the University may be required to act on information it has received even if the person providing the information chooses not to pursue a complaint.
The University will make every reasonable effort to protect from retaliation individuals who believe themselves to be the object of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct and/or who are involved in a complaint process. Retaliation, whether by an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization, against anyone who makes an inquiry about discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct, or who is involved in a complaint process is illegal and constitutes a violation of this policy. The malicious reporting of a false complaint of discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, or retaliation is also a violation of this policy. Retaliatory action or malicious reporting will be regarded as a basis for a separate complaint under this policy and the referenced procedures.
Washington and Lee University's policy against prohibited discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, and retaliation is consistent with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008. In addition to contacting the complaint resources specified in the referenced complaint procedures, any person with concerns regarding the University's response to his/her complaint may contact the Regional Civil Rights Director, U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, District of Columbia Office, 1100 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Room 316, P.O. Box 14620, Washington, DC 20044-4620, (202) 786-0500 [students]; or the Washington Field Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 1400 L. Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, D.C. 20005, (202) 275-7377 [employees].
Procedures for bringing complaints against students are located at www.wlu.edu/x37422.xml.
Procedures for bringing complaints against non-students are located at www.wlu.edu/x37419.xml.
Revised 8/15/2009 in accordance with recommendations from the Designated Officer and Grievance Procedure Working Group, resulting in consolidation of two prior non-discrimination policies (one covering students and one covering non-students).
Revised 8/2/2010 to add Sexual Misconduct to the Heading of Section A where it is addressed and to remove the unnecessary "In addition" language that was previously as the beginning of the third paragraph of Section A.
Revised 7/13/2011 to add stalking as a form of prohibited harassment and to make clear that complainants may seek redress for unlawful conduct in violation of this policy through external criminal or civil processes.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Twice this season, the Oklahoma State women's basketball team looked like it had the edge on Texas Tech only to see late leads disappear in a fog of turnovers and offensive rebounds.
Now the Cowgirls (20-9, 9-9 in Big 12) are hoping the third time is the charm as Oklahoma State takes on the Lady Raiders (21-9, 11-7 in Big 12) to open the Big 12 tournament at 11 a.m. Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
"No one wants to get swept," Oklahoma State guard Tiffany Bias said. "We're going to come out ready to play. We have a good scout and some things that we've been working on so I think we'll be ready. It's like they always say, the third time's the charm."
Oklahoma State has lost both games this season by a combined 14 points, including a heartbreaking six-point loss in the Cowgirls' Big 12 opener in Stillwater.
"We played them to single digits twice," Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell said. "I thought we played very nervous the first time we played them and the last time I thought we played very tired. We're going to make every attempt to just relax and play, be well rested and give it our best shot."
Relaxing against Texas Tech is a little easier said than done. With four experienced guards, the Lady Raiders like to utilize the press and cause turnovers — a big reason Oklahoma State struggled in Lubbock, Texas a week ago.
"We shot 51 percent... so the shooting wasn't an issue," Littell said. "The issue was getting enough shots. The turnovers were the issue. We have to take care of the basketball and we have to rebound better. It's just that simple.
"We're going to make some adjustments on (the press). It caused us some trouble both times. When they got four quick guards, we have to have some other people step up and handle some responsibility on it. ... We had some unforced errors on our part that were probably the majority of our turnovers."
Adjusting to the press is one thing. But for Bias, the key will be to slow the game down and not get nervous when the Cowgirls face adversity.
"They switch up the defense a lot, so you just have to read the defense more," Bias said. "You just have to attack more and don't be as timid as we were the last time. ... We just have to play basketball. We got away from that a little bit, but we're getting back on it."
If there is one positive, the Cowgirls appear to be catching the Lady Raiders at the right time. Texas Tech has dropped two straight — including a loss to Oklahoma in Lubbock.
But just because the Lady Raiders have dropped two straight doesn't mean it's going to be a cakewalk for the Cowgirls.
"Sometimes it's hard to compare because the teams are so different," Littell said. "It's hard because K-State is different than us and Oklahoma is different than us. You have two teams that spread the floor a lot and shoot a lot of 3s, and that's a different take than the way we play so I don't know if we can take a whole lot out of those two games."
The film might not help to much, but the losses earlier in the season will.
"We just have to learn to grind it out," Bias said. "If things get hard, we have to push through it as a team. We all know that now and we'll be a better team in the tournament.
With a higher NCAA seed likely given to the winner of Saturday's matchup there will be plenty of eyes on both teams. Only this time, the Cowgirls will be the ones hoping to make Texas Tech crack this time.
"It's very important. This would be a great win for us, especially for NCAA seeding purposes and I think we're going to show everyone that we can play."

|Adams Named CAA Golfer-of-the-Year
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Junior Lori Beth Adams was named the 2013 Colonial Athletic Association Women's Golfer-of-the-Year on Tuesday.
Adams becomes just the third player in school history to earn the league's top honor, joining former Seahawk standouts Becky Berzonski (2005) and two-time winner Carmen Perez-Narbon (2007 & 2009) on the exclusive list. Adams was also named First-Team All-CAA, marking the second time that Adams has earned all-conference recognition as she was a Second-Team All-CAA honoree following the 2011-12 campaign.
"I am so proud of Lori Beth and how she has competed this year," said UNCW Head Coach Cindy Ho. "It is a very well deserved honor. She has worked extremely hard and has been incredibly focused for the past year. Lori Beth is such a consistent player and will continue to improve throughout her career. Not only is she a great player, she is very humble as well."
A native of Burlington, N.C., Adams has fashioned a team-low 74.32 stroke average in 11 events played during the 2012-13 season. She posted five top-5 finishes and eight top-10 results on her way to earning CAA Player-of-the-Week accolades on six occasions. Currently ranked in the top 75 of the most recent Golfweek (72nd) and Golfstat (74th) individual rankings, Adams was named to the All-Tournament Team at the 2013 CAA Women's Golf Championships in April after posting a second-place finish at the event.
Just the fourth player in program history to be rewarded with an individual entry to an NCAA Regional, Adams will compete in the 2013 NCAA Women's Golf Central Regional this week at the Jimmy Austin OU Golf Club in Norman, Okla.
Sophomore Mattie Tobey was also recognized as she was named Second-Team All-CAA. A mid-season addition to the roster, Tobey appeared in six tournaments and fashioned a 79.00 stroke average in 18 rounds played. She carded a career-low 73 in the final round of the Bryan National Collegiate and posted her first top-10 finish with a tie for seventh at the CAA Women's Golf Championships in April.
"I am also very proud of the effort that Mattie Tobey displayed this spring," said Ho. "She came onto our team in January after suffering a knee injury this past summer and immediately made an impact on our team."

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
