Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
You may remember him as Goat Boy... if you must
There's comedy, and then there's comedy. And for a standup comic, landing a gig on Saturday Night Live can be something of a mixed blessing.
Being part of the long-running NBC comedy franchise affords a performer a level of exposure and inevitable popularity that would be difficult to otherwise achieve, but for a standup, becoming famous for a sketch-driven show might make life after SNL a bit tricky.
Just ask Jim Breuer, who started doing standup comedy in the late '80s, did three seasons on SNL (1995-98) and has spent the years since fending off shouted-out audience requests for him to "Do Goat Boy!" during his shows.
"I think it definitely put a label on me," says Breuer, 45, who will be in Winnipeg this week as headliner of the Just For Laughs Comedy Tour: Relationship Edition.
"It used to bother me, but I don't get frustrated by it anymore. If they shout something out -- and they usually do, like 'Do Goat Boy!' or 'Do Joe Pesci!' -- I'll just say, 'Don't worry, I'll get to it,' and then I'll go ahead and do the stuff that I want to do. And then I'll end the show by saying, 'Did anyone come here just dying to see something in particular?' And they can shout out whatever they want, and I'll usually give it to them."
On this tour, however, Breuer's focus will be on relationships -- marriage, kids, and the complications that come with being a grown-up male in 21st-century society. You probably won't hear much from Goat Boy, and you definitely won't hear Breuer delve deep comedically into the silly political season that just ended in his home country.
"I'm not that interested in politics (for comedic purposes)," he says. "To me, since the beginning of time, politics is just professional wrestling on a darker level. I get so sad at this time of year, watching what's going on in our country."
Joining Breuer on the tour are second-season Last Comic Standing winner John Heffron, Just For Laughs tour veteran Godfrey and Canadian comedy favourite Debra DiGiovanni.
For New York-born Breuer, this 20-city cross-Canada jaunt -- which began Oct. 30 in St. John's, N.L., and will conclude Nov. 25 in Kelowna, B.C. -- represents something of an unexpected reunion tour.
"Two years ago, Deb and I hung out at the Montreal comedy festival," he recalls, "and when I left, I couldn't remember her name, but I remember thinking, 'Man, I've got to connect with that girl, and I've got to see her standup.' She and I laughed so hard, for hours, and I really wanted to meet up with her again.
"I've worked with John Heffron before, and we get along great, and Godfrey is on my radio show all the time and is one of my favourites. So it's great, but it's completely unintentional -- it wasn't until I was signed to do the tour that I realized that all these great people were on it, too."
Breuer says having that kind of camaraderie among performers can only enhance what happens onstage.
"I think it helps the shows when you have a nucleus where everyone is a fan of one another," he says. "Don't get me wrong -- I'm a fan of all of them, but I'm also out to destroy everyone, too. I want (the audience) to be talking about me when the show's over, and if John and Godfrey and Deb say they don't feel the same way, they're full of baloney."
Breuer explains that it was his performance at this year's Just For Laughs festival in Montreal that convinced him, after passing on a couple of earlier tour offers, that it was time to showcase his comedy for the rest of the country.
"This last Montreal festival was, hands down, my favourite," he says. "I got to play in a theatre on St. Catherine (Street) every day, and I absolutely mutilated at every single show. It boosted my confidence so much; I thought, if I can kill in Montreal, then I can take on the rest of Canada."
Since then, Breuer has been impressed with what he's experienced on his north-of-the-border odyssey.
"I think the audiences here are a lot more universal (than in the U.S.)," he explains. "Americans are a bit more small minded, but up here, people are a lot more open-minded. They're great."

Archive for the 'Beliefs & values' Category
It's a constantly moving target. Just over a year ago, we wrote about this on-going question and cited a Gallup Poll saying 65% of Black Americans have no preference when it comes to labels used to describe their racial or ethnic group. The authors of today's research article would disagree. They say there are consequences (and loads of meaning) behind the two labels.
Stephen Pinker first coined the phrase euphemism treadmill in 1994. The phrase refers to a descriptive term that was once acceptable, but has now become pejorative. An example would be the word "crippled", replaced by "handicapped", which was then replaced by the phrase "person with disabilities" or, in some circles, "differently challenged". When you write, and use an outdated, once acceptable but now pejorative phrase, you run the risk of being seen as biased, unaware, old school, or downright insensitive.
So, in 2013, Gallup said it really didn't matter. Today's writers demonstrate, via four separate studies, that we have very different associations to the labels "African-American" and "Black". Specifically, we make assumptions about "Blacks" being lower in social status, less educated, and less competent than the "African-American". In brief, here are their findings:
The label "Black" signals lower social class and status than does the label "African-American". Further, the label "Black" evokes more negative stereotype content (as well as assumptions of lower status and less feelings of warmth) than does the label "African-American".
Media articles on crime reports are more negative in emotional tone when they use the label "Black" then when they use the label "African-American".
Whites view a criminal suspect more negatively when s/he is identified as "Black" rather than "African-American".
The dilemma with these two polarizing labels ("Black" and "African-American) is that White observers are attaching presumptions based on racial labels. Instead of using either of these long-standing descriptors, these authors propose the use of a new descriptor: Americans of African Descent (AADs). Their belief is that use of a new label will short-circuit the stereotypes (positive and negative) that accompany the currently used labels and require judgements to occur based on the individual. Whether this will catch on or not, is anyone's guess. But, staying on top of trends and labels is an important part of the work for all of us.
So, is it "Black" or is it "African-American"?
Or, should it perhaps be "Americans of African Descent"?
As mentioned above, Gallup says it doesn't seem to really matter to the target individuals being described. But today's authors say it matters a lot to the listener as "Black" and "African-American" have become cognitive shortcuts for many of us. So what to say?
The cynical might say it all depends on the reaction you want to evoke in the listener. That would mean that if you want to evoke a less positive attribution to a person, use the word "Black", and if you want to imbue them with more of an upscale aura, use "African-American". Either can be used to evoke the more negative or the more positive associations.
Our guess would be it's a lot more nuanced than that. While there were a few more than 370 participants across four studies, we would like to see a bit larger sample to ascertain whether this stereotyping of racial labels occurs across the country or if it is limited to certain regions. We also don't really know what stereotypes might arise if someone was described as an "American of African Descent". Further, who knows how long the new label will encounter resistance, or how and when it might be co-opted by time.
In short, it's an intriguing variable to consider. Are we indeed evoking racial stereotypes when we describe individuals as either "Black" or "African-American"? Is that what we really mean to do?
Hall, EV, Phillips, KW, & Townsend, SSM (2014). A rose by any other name? The consequences of subtyping "African-Americans" from "Blacks". Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
We follow, as you may have noticed, attitudes, values and beliefs toward a wide variety of issues. So we were surprised to see this 2012 national poll from Quinnipiac University pop up in a number of recent blog posts. According to their survey, while Americans favored the legalization of marijuana (51% to 44%) there were significant age and gender gaps.
"Men support legalization 59 to 36% but women are opposed 52 to 44%."
Younger voters, "18-29 years old support legalization 67 to 29% while voters over age 65 are opposed 56 to 35%."
For some reason, a number of blogs picked up the survey about 2 years after it was completed and questioned why the gender gap in attitudes toward marijuana legalization existed. Michele Martinez Campbell at Narcolaw wonders if, as others have posited, it is "just that more men than women are potheads" and scoffs at that explanation as glib.Instead, she believes, "female opposition stems from questions about the impact legalization will have on public health, crime and the social fabric".
Over at TheMoneyIllusion, Scott Sumner calls this "the mother of all gender gaps" and gets 47 comments. One of the commenters points out a similar gender gap on marijuana legalization in a 2014 survey in Germany (although he did not provide a URL), but still none of the commenters seem to notice the "new" survey they are talking about is 2 years old.
Finally, the discussion goes over to Marginal Revolution and Tyler Cowen amasses 113 comments (at this writing)–many of which are sexist although some are quite funny ("it's hard enough to get the man to take the trash out when he isn't stoned"). And again, despite the proliferation of comments, not a single commenter mentions the Quinnipiac survey they are hotly debating is from 2012 and not 2014.
It's a curious pattern for sure–men trending more liberal and women more conservative. It is at odds with what tends to happen and therefore we think it could be important. But, we can't just take 2012 data and interpret it through a 2014, post mid-term election lens. We need to see if the gender gap Quinnipiac reported in 2012, remains the same in 2014. Why? Attitudes toward marijuana legalization have been changing very quickly. In November of 2014, we simply cannot know if the "mother of all gender gaps" really does still exist based on survey data from 2012.
When using survey data and hypothesizing as to meaning in the current day, you need to be very sure your survey data is also current.
And it would be wise to go to the original source rather than parroting what others have said and furthering the inaccuracies.
Sometimes we run across odd associations as we peruse research literature. Here's an article from Pacific Standard saying we can potentially predict when the legalization of marijuana will occur by looking at how quickly attitudes toward same-sex marriage shifted in the United States. And this prediction relies, not on pundits or polls, but rather on what they call "data science".
Essentially, the article says, you can use "data on similar issues" to "build a mathematical model" and use that model to "estimate the likely outcomes for marijuana legalization across the country". The article quotes University of Minnesota political science professor Andrew Karch. According to Karch, the spread of political policies (like same-sex marriage and marijuana legalization) "tend to follow predictable patterns". He uses data from same-sex marriage approval ratings and legalization to predict when recreational marijuana will be legal across the country. He predicts seven years: that is, marijuana national legalization will occur within seven years, by 2021.
When, according to the article, 60% of states adopt legal marijuana, the federal government will probably take action. Apparently, 60% is the "tipping point" for federal action to make laws consistent across the country. These writers think that recreational marijuana may actually spread faster than same-sex marriage laws since there is so much money available to states who legalize. (Colorado reportedly collected $60-$70M in "recreational pot tax revenue" in 2014.)
This is a different relationship than a correlation. This is a relationship based on data points prediction: data science. We can't say that this is a date to bet on, but most of us likely would not have predicted the speed with which same-sex marriage became accepted and legalized. The article is easy to read and offers graphics to show how the ideas work. It's worth a read if you ever wonder about how statisticians make these kinds of predictions.
What Same-Sex Marriage Means for the Future of Recreational Weed. Pacific Standard, October 27, 2014.

Her announcement that she would take her life thanks to Oregon's right to die laws, spurred many "offers" of advice for her. Cannabis for cancer, stem cell therapy, choose life, and multiple offers of vitamin cures, dietary changes, and other ideas proliferate in comment sections.
Others in the comment sections express the idea that Maynard herself comments on in her video–i.e., no one else can know what is best for her and many comment they wish this option of choosing the time of death had been available to their loved ones who died of cancer. Maynard initially said she would die on November 2, but then, as the date approached, changed her mind saying it simply "wasn't the right time yet" although she ultimately did take her life on November 1. Brittany Maynard has achieved her goal of a national discussion on death with dignity.
It's an issue that the Pew Research Center also highlighted recently, saying it is an issue that divides America. Here are some of the attitudes Pew reported in their October 22, 2014 report on American attitudes toward doctor-assisted suicide laws.
While 2/3 of Americans say there are circumstances where a patient should be allowed to die, there is more division over allowing doctor-assisted suicides for the terminally ill. Pew says Americans are almost evenly split on the issue "with 47% in favor of such laws and 49% opposed. Views on doctor-assisted suicide are little changed since 2005."
Surprisingly, there is no real difference in attitudes toward doctor-assisted suicide by age group: "Maynard's generation is no more supportive of such laws than are older Americans: 45% of those ages 18-29 approve of assisted-suicide laws, while 54% oppose them."
It's an intriguing topic to consider in the context of jury selection. We agree with the Pew finding that young Americans have given little thought to end of life issues. But our experience has been that while our mock jurors have abstract beliefs about hot-button issues, when they see and hear the facts of a story and are faced with the obstacles and experiences of a Plaintiff–they often change their minds about how they would feel "in the Plaintiff's shoes".
One especially powerful pretrial research project we conducted showed a "day in the life" video of the Plaintiff who was paralyzed and had made clear his wish to be allowed to die (repeatedly). One male juror quietly muttered that the Plaintiff could not even raise a hand to achieve his goal. Others grimly nodded. In that case, there was consensus in the deliberation room as to what "should" be allowed to happen.
It's a powerful thing to consider. We can "know" how we think we feel. But once we are in a horrible position, like Brittany Maynard has faced, the choices we will make are ones that could well be foreign to use before we were forced to consider them. Telling your client's story without the use of "hot button phrases" that will keep jurors from listening could result in an outcome unexpected if you are predicting juror behavior from current research polls.
You are likely familiar with the fact that African-Americans and Hispanics often receive harsher sentences than do White defendants. So where do you think the undocumented immigrant or non-citizen would fall in that lineup? The undocumented receive the harshest sentences and non-citizens (who are in the country legally) come in second. Why? The authors of this paper have a hypothesis: we jury-eligible citizens are simply afraid, and are trying to maintain control of our country.
"…dominant group members feel threatened economically, politically, criminally, or culturally, and will step up efforts to maintain control when minority group populations are increasing."
You may be surprised to know "more than 30,000 non-US citizens from approximately 150 countries" have been sentenced to time in US prisons by the federal courts each year since 2008. In fact, about half of all the offenders sentenced today in our federal courts are non-US citizens and a "large proportion are from Latin America"–leading some scholars to question if there was a "Hispanic penalty" in sentencing. Researchers examined archival data from US federal courts (using the US Sentencing Commission's Standardized Research Files) in an attempt to examine if sentencing disparities existed between citizens and non-citizens. The findings are nothing less than stunning.
Compared to US citizens, non-citizen offenders are "over four times more likely to be incarcerated, and this effect is larger than the effects for race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, being convicted at trial, and any of the offense types". (In other words, being a non-citizen trumps all the other extra-legal variables your client may embody.)
Non-citizens receive "roughly an additional 3.5 months of incarceration" when compared to citizens. "As a point of comparison, Hispanics receive between one and two months of additional prison time compared to whites." This may sound relatively small, but as the authors point out, "When combining the citizenship penalty across the incarceration and length decisions, the cumulative increase in incarceration is 5,765 total prison years for 2008 alone". While non-citizens receive higher sentences compared to citizens, the undocumented immigrant is at even higher risk for severe punishment than the legal immigrant.
In response to the questions raised about the "Hispanic penalty", the researchers show that the "magnitude of the citizenship penalty is over four times stronger than Hispanic ethnicity" when it comes to sentencing. They go on to report that Hispanic ethnicity really explains almost none of the overall citizenship effect. These authors suggest that the harsher punishments observed for Hispanic defendants is more a function of their citizenship status than of their ethnicity.
Every ethnic group lacking US citizenship (including white non-citizens) receive harsher punishment than do defendants who are white citizens. For all races, citizens are punished less harshly than non-citizens.
As concerns about immigration have increased, so has the citizenship penalty. That is, the length of prison sentences assigned to non-citizens has grown substantially as the country has become concerned over the "dramatic influx of non-citizens and undocumented immigrants over the past two decades". In areas where there are a higher influx of non-citizens, there is a higher "citizenship penalty" in sentencing.
From a litigation advocacy perspective, this article is useful to us in many ways. As the authors say, "citizenship appears to trump race and ethnicity when determining punishments for those who violate US law".
Reading can help you obtain a sentence for your client that is consistent with those assigned to white defendants rather than incurring a citizenship penalty.
It can be used to educate jurors involved in sentencing decisions and judges making decisions on sentencing if your client is found guilty.
And unlike many statistically heavy articles that illustrate their findings with graphs and charts that are completely incomprehensible–this one makes the point clearly. The figure below (taken from the article itself) illustrates the differences in sentencing you see when you examine only race rather than incorporating citizenship status. This figure, presented and explained piece by piece, communicates clearly what happens with sentencing when the defendant is a non-citizen. Bias comes out in multiple ways we cannot see and, as these researchers clearly illustrate: citizenship trumps race and ethnicity.

The meeting started at 12:05 with a welcome by Chris Weingarth. After everyone visited the buffet we briefly introduced ourselves and spoke briefly to our interest in the day's presentation on "green energy." Gary Fredrich-Dunne, Sales and Marketing Manager from Bullfrog Power, was introduced and then gave a presentation titled: "Green Energy: what is it, why is it important, and how can I support it?" The presentation's main topics included: Why is green power important? Renewables and Wind Green Natural Gas About Bullfrog Power Green power in context What difference does it really make? Ten minutes of questions and discussion followed Gary's presentation. Chris reported briefly on local green energy related initiatives: The Black Diamond Parks and Recreation Department's work with solar and wind generated power at the town's arena. A joint meeting of the Black Diamond Economic Development Committee and the Sustainability Committee where it was decided to draft a letter to the province requesting that greater attention be paid to renewable energy. *My apologies for not having recorded Evelyn and Carolyn's last names. An upcoming presentation hosted by the Airdrie Chamber on the Report of the Premier's Council for Economic Strategy, Shaping Alberta's Future. Announcements followed, being mainly a review of the PowerPoint presentation that was cycling prior to the meeting. These included: Visitor Information Center statistics. No regular Chamber meetings in July and August. There will likely be a Social instead. September 14 is the next regular meeting – Todd Hirsch, Senior Economist with ATB Financial will speak about the overall economic situation in southern Alberta and the effect on local businesses. We heard from Grant Sinclair of Compass Rose Electric who generously offered the door prize – an "Electric Energy Conservation Consultation." Sarah Koene won the door prize. We adjourned at 1:25. *My apologies for not having recorded Evelyn and Carolyn's last names.

For those considering buying a home, the current real estate market presents some unique opportunities. One of the side effects of the economic roller coaster ride of the past few years is that home prices have gone down and more homes have gone on the market. For buyers, that means more choices and better deals. However, those same tumultuous years also can also teach buyers a lesson: Make smart buying decisions and be wise with your finances.
Now, more than ever, homeowners are adding to the value and comfort of their homes by renovating bathrooms into private retreats with luxurious touches that rival those of an upscale spa or resort.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A surge in homebuilding pushed U.S. construction spending up by the largest amount in five months, the latest indication that the housing sector is slowly recovering.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Fixed U.S. mortgage rates fell again to new record lows, providing prospective buyers with more incentive to brave a modestly recovering housing market.
DEAR BENNY: My mother and her boyfriend lived together for 18 years. He owned the house by himself. He has two surviving adult children. He always told me he wanted my mom to have everything. He did not have a close relationship to his children.
The newest interior design trends are invoking a playful vibe into rooms by mixing and matching different styles for an eclectic, fun look. According to "ELLE Decor," home decorating is shifting toward a more theatrical and eclectic decorating style highlighting richer colors, layers of textures and patterns and a fusion of time periods, styles and atmosphere.
Spend $235,000 today to buy a home in Manteca and you can get a new home of about 1,500 square feet with the latest built-in energy efficiencies.
WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first time in a century, most of America's largest cities are growing at a faster rate than their surrounding suburbs as young adults seeking a foothold in the weak job market shun home-buying and stay put in bustling urban centers.
Keeping your home beautiful, organized and running smoothly is a never-ending task. The chores from the kitchen unfold into the dining room, which spills into the living room, the bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry room and beyond. Once you've added it all up, the amount of time and energy you spend on housework - day to day and year to year - is staggering.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans signed more contracts to buy previously occupied homes in May, matching the fastest pace in two years. The increase suggests home sales will rise this summer and the modest housing recovery will continue.
DEAR BENNY: I have a question regarding a refinance. We had several unsuccessful attempts with two mortgage brokers because our house is located in a risky ZIP code and the appraiser said that he was unable to get two comps to complete the deal. Finally, we found another bank who said "no problem" right off the bat.
In the current economy, homeowners want to improve their home's exterior while saving time, labor and money. You can enhance your lifestyle by choosing options that extend product performance and add beauty and enjoyment to outdoor living.
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. builders started work on more single-family homes in May and requested the most permits to build homes and apartments in three and a half years. The increase suggests the housing market is slowly recovering even as other areas of the economy have weakened.
Termites live to eat. Their hunger causes $5 billion worth of damage each year in the U.S., damage most homeowner's insurance doesn't cover. In fact, a colony can devour a foot of 2-by-4 wood in only six months. And since termites are masters at going undetected, they can destroy entire support beams before you discover their presence. That's why it's so important to know what to look for.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans bought fewer homes in May than April, suggesting a sluggish job market could threaten a modest recovery in housing.
Move over kitchens and bathrooms, homeowners are focusing on a new part of the home: the garage. No longer just a place to park the car and lawn equipment, today's garages are getting bigger and better. Here are a few quick and easy projects to create a useful and organized garage.
Don't sweat it if your home doesn't have central air-conditioning. Whether you live in an older house that can't accommodate ductwork, or you don't want to sacrifice your interior aesthetics with an unattractive air conditioning unit, you can still keep your home feeling - and looking - cool this summer with advanced air conditioning technology.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A key long-term U.S. mortgage rate dipped this week, the second drop after a large increase two weeks ago.
The addition of a new pet to the family is always a cause for celebration. Stress can occur, too, no matter how welcome the new addition. When you're thinking about adopting a pet from an animal shelter, some preparation can help ensure he or she is as safe and happy as possible.
As winter temperatures drop, the potential for higher utility bills goes up. Taking steps ahead of the cold season can help you trim costs and make your home more energy efficient, keeping those utility bills in check even as the winter weather rages.
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects can significantly add comfort, improve functionality and increase the home's resale value. Whichever reason drives homeowners to complete an improvement project, they need to pick one that also delivers a return on investment.
She's a single woman in Manteca in her 50s.
Selling or staying, it makes no difference - everyone wants a home that looks great from the curb. Curb appeal comes together when all the elements of a home's facade are in good shape and working together. Driveways that are cracked or pitted with potholes, dingy front doors and other seemingly minor complaints like a shabby, scuffed mailbox, can all significantly detract from a home's overall curb appeal.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates declined slightly this week, after marking their largest one-week gain of the year the previous week.
If you'll be putting your home on the market this year, simple, cost-effective upgrades can help ensure a speedy sale at a good price.
Do's and don'ts for making your next tile project perfect
Beautifying your bathroom sounds exciting but oftentimes renovation plans begin with good intentions and end up a long, costly nightmare. The national average cost for a bathroom remodel is $10,142, according to the Cost Guide from HomeAdvisor.com. That's a hefty investment but one that can easily be reduced with a simple refresh of the space instead. Here are five cost-effective updates you can make to your bathroom in as little as a weekend.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Why Do Politicians Bottle the Big Decisions?
So why do politicians appear to bottle the difficult decisions? The easy answer is that they do not want to take a chance with paying the electoral consequences of such decisions. The balance between 'winners' and 'losers' would be such that any government taking the action would be punished at the next election, it is said.

Originally written on Win My Fantasy League | Last updated 11/18/14
The toughest part of fantasy drafts are in the last few rounds where the choice is often limited to wily veterans in the twilight of their career to unproven rookies with no guarantee in the rotation. In this year's NBA fantasy draft, Jonas Valanciunas will be worth a pick at the end of your draft. J-Val (a nickname unlikely to ever catch on), was drafted in 2011 by the Toronto Raptors, but remained in Europe to further develop last season. He may be an unproven talent at the NBA level, but he has played at the highest international level, including in the recent London 2012 Olympics. He started every game for the Lithuanian team that lost to the eventual gold metal winner – The United States, by only five points. It is true that Valanciunas logged only 9 minutes in that game, but the experience for 20 year old, including games versus France and Argentina was a big step in his career. Based on the preseason and the lack of another true center (sorry Aaron Gray) on the Toronto Rapt...

There's good news for Homestead's Caleb Swanigan and possibly more good news.
The senior boys basketball standout made the USA Basketball U17 team Tuesday. Swanigan, who holds several big-time Division I scholarship offers, will be part of the 12-player team that will travel to Dubai for the World Championships in August.
The 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship will be Aug. 8 to 16 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The two-time defending U17 champion United States opens preliminary play against Greece on Aug. 8.
Swanigan might also be getting a new point guard in Junior All-Star Jordan Geist. According to a Twitter post from Homestead senior center/forward Dana Batt and media reports, Geist will transfer from Penn to Homestead.
