EBENSBURG - The man accused of killing his Cambria County cellmate in August sat silently through the testimony of corrections officers at his preliminary hearing Monday.
William Amos Cramer, 21, stared directly at the witness stand as the Cambria County District Attorney's Office called seven witnesses, including Cambria County Prison Warden John Prebish and state Trooper Kenneth Durbin, who investigated the death.
Cramer strangled his cellmate, William Sherry, of Northern Cambria on Aug. 4 with ripped pieces of bed sheet, authorities said.

Cambria County corrections officer George Rozum escorts William Amos Cramer into his preliminary hearing Monday before Magisterial District Judge Frederick Creany. Cramer is charged with criminal homicide after his cellmate was found dead in their prison cell in August.
Cramer is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and assault by prisoner. Magisterial District Judge Frederick Creany moved the case to Cambria County Court after hearing the testimony.
District Attorney Kelly Callihan presented two letters allegedly written by Cramer after the incident, in which Cramer admitted his guilt and threatened another inmate.
Corrections officers working the night of Sherry's death testified that Cramer activated his cell's intercom and began shouting at guards in the control unit. Officers approached the cell and handcuffed Cramer, who was then removed from the cell and locked in a nearby shower room.
Corrections officers found Sherry motionless on the floor and began CPR. Sherry was pronounced dead at the scene, Cambria County First Deputy Coroner Herman Long said.
Multiple corrections officers testified that Sherry was bound by his wrists and ankles with pieces of bed sheet, and had another piece of bed sheet wrapped around his neck and a gag in his mouth.
Cramer was originally moved to Cambria County Prison while awaiting a court appearance for separate charges filed against him as an inmate at State Correctional Institution at Cresson, police said. Cramer was placed in cell 67 in the restricted housing unit and Sherry was later moved into his cell.
Letters recovered by corrections officers on Aug. 17 and 18 from another inmate were written by Cramer, officers testified. The letters explained in graphic detail how Sherry was killed and included racial slurs and allegations against Sherry.
Cramer is currently incarcerated at SCI Rockview.
The manner in which Sherry was found and the fact that both inmates were completely isolated from the prison's general population while locked in the cell showed that Sherry's death could not have been a suicide, Callihan said.
"One of the individuals came out alive," and the other suffered a "brutal" death, she said.
Public Defender Ryan Gleason said the defense was still trying to understand why Cramer allegedly identified Sherry as a child molester, even though his record did not indicate any criminal history of child sexual abuse.
"We're still trying to get the full information on what happened on Aug. 4," Gleason said.
Cramer's next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 29 in Cambria County Court.

The best-case scenario for Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick would be a career arc that resembles that of Rich Gannon.
The current CBS color analyst was never the most physically gifted player, but maximized the skills that he did have, so much so that he won the league's MVP award at 37 years old with the Oakland Raiders in 2002.
Gannon will call Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans at Ralph Wilson Stadium. He spoke Friday of the quarterback he'll see wearing a Bills uniform.
"He's got to be able to eliminate the inconsistent performances. We did [his game in] Week One, and he goes out there and throws some, what I would define as ugly interceptions," Gannon said. "Not seeing a flat defender, late with the football, late with his eyes. Some footwork things that need to be cleaned up a little bit. I've noticed when I've studied him a little bit, when he misses throws a lot of times he's missing throws behind receivers."
Much has been made of Fitzpatrick's work to improve his mechanics with quarterbacks coach David Lee.
The quarterback was asked this week whether bad habits had crept back in, resulting in decreased accuracy. Fitzpatrick's completion percentage is at 57.9 percent, down from his career high of 62.0 last season and below his career average of 59.1.
"I do not know if that is a ton of it. There was a ton that was made of the mechanics and all the different things. It is true ... I'm not always the prettiest thrower in terms of the way I look, in terms of throwing off balance and all of that," Fitzpatrick said. "I have tried to correct some of that stuff and maybe limit some of that. It happens in the NFL because there are guys rushing around you. A lot of being a quarterback is about decision-making and timing. Those are the biggest things in being effective as a quarterback.
"In terms of the flaws, my mechanics and those types of things, those are something that are always going to be there especially with my throwing motion. The footwork was something we really focused on, but I have not started the way that I wanted to start and unfortunately it has been multiple games. Not just one bad game here or there. It is something that I have to evaluate. The only way I know how to correct it is to continue to work in practice."
Here are some of the issues that Gannon has seen when watching tape of Fitzpatrick.
• Footwork. "I think when you spend so much time in the shotgun, with certain quarterbacks, they can get lazy with their feet. What happens is, when you're under center you've got to go quick, quick three [steps] and get back. In the shotgun, you're kind of sitting here, you're kind of hopping."
• A changing philosophy. "I think they've gone through a little bit of an evolution here offensively. I think last year they were a team that really spread you out, quick, short or intermediate throws then all of a sudden off of that they mix in some runs.Now they've Fred [Jackson] and C.J. [Spiller] and the running game's become such a big story here. ... When you do that, I think that has an impact on the quarterback and how he sees the game and how they call the game."
• Being late on throws. "He does not possess, and I didn't either, but he doesn't have an Aaron Rodgers or a Tom Brady arm. So he has to be really exact with his location on throws, he's got to be exact with his footwork, he's got to be exact with his mechanics, he has to be exact with his anticipation and when he's not, there's where the problems start to jump in in his game."
• Trying to do too much. "He is a bit of a risk taker at times. ... That's who he is. So you've got to understand that, but at the same time you've got to be able to reel him in and say, 'Look, if you don't play well, if you turn the football over, we don't win.' Just look at the numbers. The other thing that hurts him is they've got some injuries up front, they've fallen behind in games, and all of a sudden it's like 'I've got to make some big throws.' He's got to realize that's not the case."
Since Fitzpatrick took over as the Bills' starter two games into 2010, the Bills are 11-9 in games in which he throws one or fewer interceptions - and 1-14 in games in which he throws two or more.
To his credit, Fitzpatrick hasn't shrunk from the responsibility.
"It has just been very inconsistent all year. A lot of that falls on me and my play," he said of the passing game.
"I did not and have not started the year the way I wanted to. I think starting out with the three-interception game, having another four-interception game - there has to be a happy medium there in terms of not going out there and trying to throw touchdowns on every play, but not being too conservative. I think right now we are still trying to find ourselves in the passing game. A lot of that is me just playing more consistent."

Millcreek to apply for grant to plant 151 trees (Updated: 11:01 a.m.)
Millcreek Township supervisors this morning voted to apply for a state grant -- matched by the township -- to plant 151 trees throughout the township this spring.
The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant would be for $15,000, and the township would match it with $3,755 in cash and $15,640 in labor and materials, Supervisor Brian McGrath said.
The trees, 4 to 6 feet tall, would be planted at township parks, the Erie Golf Course, the boulevard on lower Peninsula Drive and other locations, he said.
DCNR will award the grants March 1.
The supervisors also set the salary for the office of tax collector, an elected position, for the years 2014 through 2017. That seat will be on the ballot this year.
Millcreek's part of the office salary, which includes paying other employees and most expenses, will be $27,402 in 2014 and rise to $29,509 in 2017. The office also gets paid from the Millcreek School District and Erie County.

Suspicions of the crime reached the police earlier this year.
But before Town of Tonawanda Police Lt. William H. Krier could break the case of the immense fleecing, he first had to find the victim.
Concerned people had heard talk about a cleric's plight but did not know his name.
It took the lieutenant a couple of weeks to find him: a 91-year-old retired priest taken advantage of by a jobless, addicted gambler for more than $500,000 over a decade.
Then it took a couple of visits before the embarrassed cleric told Krier everything.
The case against Richard P. Kesick culminated with his sentencing Wednesday by Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk. He sentenced Kesick to two to six years in prison for his third-degree grand larceny conviction.
Police and prosecutors are not surprised the crime went unreported for so long. That's common about elder abuse, they say.
The amount surprised them, however. "I was shocked," Krier said. "Even Kesick was shocked."
But the priest left little doubt about how much was stolen after he revealed to police what had happened.
Kesick had lied to the priest about an inheritance Kesick said he was to receive. One of Kesick's ploys was asking the priest for loans until the inheritance arrived.
The priest kept receipts that Kesick had signed each time he would take money from the priest, Krier said. And the priest also saved hours worth of telephone messages that Kesick had left promising to pay back the money.
"He believed he was getting the money back," Krier said of the priest.
Erie County District Attorney Frank A. sedita III called Kesick's prison sentence appropriate.
"It's rare we see a case where someone steals $500,000 from an individual, let alone a priest," Sedita said. "When you see a half-million-dollar theft, from a member of the clergy, that raises a lot of eyebrows"
"… We're seeing more and more major financial elder abuse."
In recent months, Sedita's office has prosecuted a nursing home administrator who admitted stealing more than $110,000 from a 69-year-old resident of an Amherst assisted-living and retirement home. A paralegal at a law firm's Buffalo office admitted stealing more than $311,000 from a 77-year-old heiress.
"That's why we're getting more concerned about financial elder abuse and trying to propose changes in the law," the DA said.
For 11 years, between June 21, 2001, and July 16 of this year, Kesick told lie after lie to the priest, even impersonating a judge over the telephone to steal more money from him.
Kesick, 57, of Laird Avenue, told the priest he needed money to pay ransom to his kidnappers and cover medical bills for a stab wound. He pretended to be an insurance company representative to give the priest false assurance that the money would be repaid. At one point, the retired priest came up with $20,000 to $30,000 for ransom.
Sedita has called Kesick "an especially loathsome and despicable swindler." Defense attorney Robert J. Cutting called him an addicted gambler, who looked at the retired priest as "an easy source of funds."
Cutting sought leniency for Kesick, in part because of what he called his client's "horrific gambling addiction." Kesick could lose as much as $15,000 at the casino in a weekend.
Cutting also cited health issues for Kesick's wife, his lack of arrests in recent years and letters of support from neighbors showing that Kesick is "not a totally useless human being."
"I did take the money and acted like a fool," Kesick said at his sentencing hearing. "I shouldn't have done it."
Kesick had faced seven years in prison; he pleaded guilty last October.
While his gambling addiction explains Kesick's motivation, it does not excuse it, Franczyk said as he delivered the prison sentence.
The judge ordered $500,000 in restitution.
Kesick has also signed a confession of judgment for that amount, but "I hold out no illusions this will ever get paid," Franczyk said.
The priest did not appear in court. Kesick wore jeans and an untucked shirt. He did not look like a cunning schemer who could steal so much money.
But his appearance revealed his method, Krier said. Kesick played to the priest's sympathy with his "sad-sack, down-on-his-luck" appearance, Krier said.
Sedita has said the priest invested well decades ago to accumulate so much money.
Kesick, jailed since his arrest July 16, is married and has not had a job in five years. His wife, who watched the sentencing, declined to comment as she left the courtroom.
Kesick's criminal past includes convictions for burglary, forgery, arson and criminal possession of stolen property.

Interview with Rob Rubin, Vice President of Engineering and Educational Services for edX
Like a good student, edX finishes open source project ahead of schedule
Good university students finish projects by their assigned deadlines. The best ones submit their finished work in advance.
Earlier this month, edX–the non-profit education partnership that offers free, online university classes to anyone with a computer and Internet connection—set an example for even its most ambitious students, completing its effort to open source the code for its learning platform months earlier than expected. The organization planned to release its code some time between the end of the year and the first quarter of 2014. As of June 1, however, the edX code base is online, ready for download, modification, and enhancement.
edX launched just last year as a collaboration between MIT and Harvard. This past April, Stanford announced an alliance with the project. And today, nearly 30 colleges and universities have joined the edX initiative.
We spoke with Rob Rubin, Vice President of Engineering and Educational Services for edX, about edX's decision to open source its code.
What are the benefits of open sourcing an education platform like edX?
Being open source is how we can truly innovate. As computer scientist Bill Joy once said: no matter where you are, most of the smartest people work somewhere else. Open source allows us to work with those smart people, wherever they are.
Has it always been edX's goal to open source its platform this way?
It was always the goal to open source the platform. We originally planned to go open source towards the end of 2013, but our partners encouraged us to open source sooner.
Why is it important for educational materials to be open?
edX's mission from the beginning has been to deliver the world's best education via the world's best educational platform. To realize this vision, we will need to draw upon the world itself. We have expanded the xConsortium of our member institutions to bring the world's best teachers and their courses into edX. We recognize that doing the same thing for our platform–bringing in the efforts of the world's best developers—will likewise enable us to continue to lead the market in terms of innovation and educational excellence.
You're managing contributions from multiple parties. Has this been challenging? How are you doing this, and what's the key to doing it successfully?
The key to open source communities is enabling contributions without requiring close collaboration. Modularity and loose coupling is the key to this. I think we still have a way to go to get to where we need to be, but our XBlock component architecture, which we open-sourced a preview of back in March, is going to be very important for this.
What critical contributions have you received so far?
It's very early days but we've already received a lot of help from Stanford and others in making our platform easier to customize and standup in production. Stanford has also contributed features like real-time chat and bulk-email. UC Berkeley grad student Arjun Singh led a team that built our discussion forum component and Professor Armando Fox, also at Berkeley, contributed an automated grader for his Software-as-a-Service course. The University of Queensland contributed support for the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard. All this builds on the earlier contributions from MIT including circuit simulators and Python code graders.
What are edX's most pressing development needs right now? What would you encourage potential contributors to help with?
One of the areas that we need help with is internationalization, localization, and translation. We already have students from all around the world, but we want our platform to cater to many of the world's languages as well. That's obviously something we can't do on our own. We're also looking for people to help come up with new kinds of graders and interactive components to really extend the range of subjects that can be taught with the platform.
3 Comments
Now that the platform is open, I want to see open content. And when I say that, I mean more than a license.
Most MOOCs have been developed and published by professors from elite universities, and just recently four business professors have created a decidedly non-university MOOC with DecydEd. Now I want to see the DIY MOOCs. The MOOCs on Github. MOOCs developed the open source way.
I've seen some of this with grassroots initiatives like the University of Reddit, and a very directed effort that I learned about from some techies from Etsy called Ops-School. Education is too important to be left up to a handful of experts - I really want to see more collaboration in the development of curricula and course materials.
Modularity and loose coupling. These are key not only to open SOURCE but open organization. I discuss this in relation to the new educational initiatives in my book Education 2.0(from Paradigm press). http://www.amazon.com/Education-2-0-LearningWeb-Revolution-Transformatio...

Sanofi and Transgene inked a collaboration agreement for the creation of a new industrial platform for the production of immunotherapeutics, including Transgene's therapeutic products. The platform will be based at Genzyme Polyclonals site in Lyon-Gerland area for an investment amount of $12.9 million dollars, equally financed by Sanofi and Transgene. The platform will remain Sanofi's exclusive property.
Sanofi and Genzyme will act as Transgene's contract manufacturing organization to make clinical and commercial batches of drug substance of Transgene's immunotherapy products, including its MVA1 therapeutic vaccines. Transgene will be a preferred customer of the commercial manufacturing platform for 15 years.
"Transgene is extremely pleased to announce this agreement with the Sanofi Group, as it combines the strong expertise of recognized experts and pioneers in the fields of gene therapy and vaccines," said Philippe Archinard, chairman and CEO of Transgene. "This collaboration will secure Transgene's commercial production over the long run, enabling us to focus our resources on development and marketing of our products."
"The Lyon area is a strategic place for Sanofi in the field of immunology," added Olivier Charmeil, president and CEO of Sanofi Pasteur. "Merial, Sanofi Pasteur, and Genzyme will share locally their expertise to successfully implement this platform and build a center of excellence available for Transgene and potentially other customers."
Construction, qualification, and validation of the manufacturing suite will start in Q3 2013 and should be completed in Q1 2015. First batches of commercial grade products from the suite are expected in 2015. Transgene expects to file its first BLA in 2016.

LOCKPORT – Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas on Thursday ordered a Wheatfield man to admit to his family that he was at fault in a stabbing before sending him to prison for six years.
Farkas was angry that friends and relatives of Joshua C. Oakes wrote her letters insisting that Oakes was just trying to protect his brother when he stabbed a North Tonawanda man five times July 15 outside Ava's Place, a bar on Webster Street in North Tonawanda.
Oakes told a probation officer in a presentencing interview that he acted in self-defense.
Farkas said the letters she received were "ignorant of the truth." She said a surveillance video, which she watched three times, clearly showed Oakes and his brother approaching victim Paul R. Diesing and his friends, and Oakes pulling a knife "before anyone put a hand on him."
"Turn around and tell them the truth," Farkas ordered.
Oakes turned, faced about two dozen supporters and said, "I started an altercation."
"They continue to see Mr. Oakes as a victim in this. I don't see it that way," Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann said.
Defense attorney Kevin R. Wolf said that before the stabbing, "there was some taunting."
"Your client approached them. He put himself in that situation," Farkas said. "What was the reason for him to walk the entire length of the property, over to where those skinny little boys were sitting?"
Diesing, 24, said that his bowels were punctured in four places by the stabbing and that he underwent four hours of exploratory surgery. He was off work for six months.
"That night was the worst night of my life," Diesing said. "I have nightmares. I'm always looking behind me. … This sentencing is helping me to heal."
Oakes, 25, of River Road, who pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted first-degree assault, also faces five years of postrelease supervision.
Wolf said Oakes, who served prison time in California after a stabbing there, is considered a parole violator in that state and may have to serve as long as 18 months in a California prison after he completes his sentence in New York.

With Piggy Paint Natural Nail Polish you can say goodbye to harsh, smelly chemicals once and for all. Piggy Paint is a water-based, eco-friendly nail polish designed for fancy girls. Its non-toxic, hypoallergenic formula makes it safe to use on all piggies. Piggy Paint dries to a hard, durable finish that can easily be removed with our eco-friendly, low odor Piggy Paint nail polish remover.
Why parents love Piggy Paint Natural Nail Polish:

- Low Odor
- Water-based formula
- Hypoallergenic
- Fun, vibrant colors
- Dries to a hard, durable finish
- Cruelty-free
- Safe for use during Pregnancy
- Made in the USA
My five-year-old daughter has been asking me to paint her fingernails for two years now, but knowing what chemical concoctions lurk inside traditional nail polish (and not being a fan of painted nails in general), she's only been allowed to wear polish on her toe nails. Not that this is any better, but we all know kids and where their hands end up (in their mouths!). She is so excited to finally have a nail polish that mommy will allow her to wear, even if it is still reserved for special occasions only.
Great for birthday parties, mother-daughter manicures, Halloween, dress-up, special occasions, or just for fun, Piggy Paint natural nail polish is a nail polish you can feel good about using on your children.
Piggy Paint™ is specially formulated with water-based ingredients (not harsh, chemical solvents) and dries to a hard, durable finish. There are no toxic chemicals; it's free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, Bisphenol A, ethyl acetate and acetone.
Price is for one (1) bottle of Piggy Paint nail polish.
Piggy Paint Ingredients: (may vary based on colour) Water, water-miscible acrylic resins and thickeners (well below 100 parts per million), glycol ethers, acrylates copolymers and butoxy diglycol. May contain mica, D&C red lake, ultramarine blue, iron, titanium oxide pigments and Neem Oil.
Piggy Paint as a learning tool:
Fine Motor Skills
Let your child paint your fingernails or toenails. If you're worried about it looking (well, like a child painted your nails), opt for the toenails…you can always put socks on in public! This helps with her fine-motor skills and gives her a chance to exert her independence.
Color Names
Are you trying to teach your child color names? Paint her nails with the specific color you're working on (such as red) and declare it a "Red Day". All day long, point out objects in her environment that match her nails, and encourage her to do the same. Wear red clothes, add red foods to mealtime and use a bath color tablet to make her bath water red. Once she's mastered that color, paint her piggies a new color.
Recognizing different types of patterns is a hard concept learn for children to learn, so why not put patterns right at their fingertips? For example, if you're working on simple patterns, alternate blue and yellow "Piggy Paint" on her fingers. As you go through the day, help her to make patterns with her toys, M&M's, crayons, beads…use your creativity. Have her refer to her fingernails for help. Start out with color patterns and then attempt other categories, such as big doll, little doll, big doll, etc. Ready for harder patterns? Move to three different colors or alternate pink, purple, purple, pink, and so on.
School Colors
Does your daughter play any sports? Perhaps she has a favorite high school, collegiate, or professional team she cheers for. If so, paint her nails with her team's colors to show her support.
Price is for one (1) bottle of Piggy Paint all natural nail polish. When you're ready to remove Piggy Paint or change colours, try our Piggy Paint Nail Polish Remover.

Great product for kids and pregnant moms Review by Toni
Value Quality Price
Loved this product! Despite the fact it chips easily, I love this product. It doesn't smell, the colours are great and you don't need a lot of coats. Lots of shine and dries pretty quickly. My three year old is in love with her Piggy Paint and now that I'm pregnant, I'm using it too, but with my own top coat to make it last longer. Going online now to buy the nail polish remover for both of us. Hate the thought of using the regular stuff on my daughter. (Posted on 6/11/12)
Excellent quality and better than it's competitors. Colors great for adults too. Review by Candy
Price Value Quality
I've tried many natural polishes before I tried this one and Piggy Polish is my favorite. It smells slightly, but doesn't cause me any symptoms, such as a headache, which I get from other polishes. The color quality is excellent and I only need 2 coats. It's more chip resistant than other natural polishes that don't smell. On the bottle it recommends to use a hair dryer to set the polish-this works very well. (Posted on 10/8/12)

The Penn State football team was off this week, which means it also was an off-week for Jordan Smith.
Smith, the 6-foot, 187-pound defensive back from suburban Washington, D.C., has been a regular at Nittany Lion home games this season since verbally committing over the summer, and he'll be part of the squad himself when he enrolls in January. Smith, though, had been following Penn State long before its coaches offered him a scholarship after a strong camp showing back in June.
"I got into liking Penn State when I saw some of my brother's old teammates go to Penn State and do well. I used to stay home and watch them on TV. That grew on me," said Smith, whose older brother, Stephen, played football with former Lion Derrick Williams at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Md. and also was friends with one-time PSU linebacker Navorro Bowman.
"That was my dream school."
It was enough of a dream that Smith, who is also close with Lion cornerback Stephon Morris and is trained by Morris' father, Roman, jumped at Penn State's scholarship offer despite the fact that it came right after the NCAA handed down heavy sanctions on the Lions following the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Smith said he saw more from Penn State than the opportunity to go to a bowl game.
"One thing that is not going to change about Penn State is the academics. Penn State is a great academic institution. A degree from Penn State speaks volumes in the job market. They have an outstanding coaching staff with a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge about the game. It's just a great place to be. So, once they offered me, I didn't hesitate."
Smith had offers from a half-dozen colleges, including Colorado, Illinois and Kansas.
One of three secondary players and 11 recruits overall in Penn State's 2013 class so far, Smith is a big, aggressive combination defensive back who likes to try to emulate players like Ed Reed and Charles Woodson. Before transferring to H.D. Woodson after last season for financial reasons, Smith had his second straight 60-plus tackle season at Archbishop Carroll High School, also registering four sacks, two interceptions and a blocked field goal.
Smith's coach at Carroll was Rich Houchens, who coached Williams at Eleanor Roosevelt. Smith played both corner and safety and got experience playing all coverages from press man to off man to zone.
"I think he should go to safety first, because he's a very good cover kid, he's very technically sound. When you take that kind of skill set and put him on the back end, you'll gain another kid [who can cover], like [Stephen] Obeng-Agyapong," Roman Morris said. "He's a little more seasoned in coverage, so you almost get another kid like Adrian Amos in your back end who'll still bring the physicality as well."
Because of transfer rules, Smith isn't allowed to play for Woodson this season. Instead of sitting back, he is training with the older Morris and former NFL star Troy Vincent at their defensive backs school.
"It gets me excited just talking about Coach Troy and Coach Rome. They taught me everything. They made me the defensive back I am today," Smith said. "Without them, I don't know where I would be. Those guys were such a blessing to my life, honestly."
Smith also is helping out with his father's youth basketball team as an assistant coach, scorebook keeper and clock operator in his free time. The elder Morris has known Smith's family for almost 10 years.
"He's a great kid. You can trust him in the classroom, outside of the campus in the community and on the field," Morris said. "As a defensive back, he's a big, physical kid. He's fast. He plays smart. He won't have any trouble picking up the schemes. He's a coach's dream.
"I think he only has a two-star rating. He might not have the skill set of these four- or five-star kids. But you're not going to outwork him. He's going to become better, because, whatever he's missing, he'll make up in work ethic."
Smith said Stephon Morris has been another big influence on him.
"He's like my big brother. He's my mentor. We talk all the time. He's always teaching me things on and off the field. Stephon is a great person," Smith said.
Smith began playing football when he was 3 - "My brother gave me a football coming out of the womb, I guess you could say," Smith said.
Larry Johnson began recruiting Smith after a strong showing at Penn State's camp on June 2. He told the Lion coaches he was coming on July 24, right when news of the NCAA sanctions broke.
Smith has been impressed with what he's seen from the Lions so far this season.
"Each game, it's like they're playing better and better. They get faster and even more physical," Smith said. "The defense is playing outstanding. Coach Roof, Coach Butler, Coach Johnson, all the defensive coaches, they've just got those guys so fired up. They're playing with so much intensity. Coach O'Brien is one heck of an offensive coordinator. Penn State is going to be scary for teams to prepare for."

MARTINSBURG - Members of the West Virginia Beer Wholesalers Association are doing more than contributing to the merriment of residents statewide.
The group has come together in order to donate $25,000 to the West Virginia Sheriff's Association and its need for armored vests.
"The motivation came about last year when the incident happened in Clay County, where the state (troopers) were killed and the deputies were shot," said Jim Wilson, president of the WVBWA. "A lot of people assumed that everybody who was a police officer had a bulletproof vest, but that wasn't the case."
The WVSA said it would need more than $45,000 to provide deputies with vests, Wilson said. The WVBWA figured out that its contribution will pay for 50 armored vests. These are meant to go to counties that may not have the funding to provide deputies with the vests themselves.
"In a lot of counties, they cover that," said Craig Martin, of Martin's Distributing and a member of the WVBWA. "But, in some of these smaller counties, they don't have the money for vests."
With increasing awareness of the dangers law enforcement faces, Wilson said it is important to help provide their officers gear that will increase their safety on the job.
"You want your officers to feel protected as much as they can, because the world's changing," Wilson said.

Caring for kids can be tough enough. Add in the family's furry and feathered little friends, and keeping control over domestic duties can become quite the chore.
To help you cope, we've gathered some tried-and-true tips for dealing with family pets from the American Kennel Club (AKC), The Post and Courer's "Pet Docs" column and McClatchy News Service.
With some planning and know-how, pet owners can live happily with their four-legged (and otherwise) friends while keeping their home intact.
Bringing home a puppy
Giving a puppy to your kids for Christmas can create lifelong memories, but remember that adding a pet to your family is a major decision, and with that addition comes a great deal of responsibility. Some savvy planning can help make your new furry friend's arrival much less stressful.
• Go shopping. Before you bring home your four-legged bundle of joy, there are a few items that you'll need to care for the puppy:
- Bowls for water and food, as well as the food your puppy will eat.
- A leash and collar for walks.
- A bed that will be comfortable for your puppy and easy for you to clean.
- A crate that is big enough for your puppy to stand up, turn around, and lay down in.
- Toys for puppy playtime.
• Puppy-proof your home. Puppies can get into trouble until they've learned the rules and developed physical skills. Make sure to puppy-proof your home in advance. Tips for puppy-proofing include:
- Put all small objects away where your puppy can't get to them to chew.
- Secure your cabinets and move anything toxic to a high shelf.
- Remove any poisonous plants, such as Poinsettia and Calla Lilies.
- Use baby gates to block off any steps so your puppy can't fall and hurt himself.
Keep kids safe around dogs
Children and dogs can be best friends, but it's very important that kids are taught how to be safe around dogs to prevent accidents. Whether it is a familiar dog, a new one, or even your own pet, there are certain ways children should approach a dog.
• Ask permission: It's very important to ask a dog's owner first if you can pet the dog. Not every dog reacts the same way to strangers petting them, and the owner will know if the dog is friendly and if it is safe for you to approach.
• Approach calmly: If the owner says yes, make a fist, extend your hand slowly to the dog, and let him sniff the back of your hand. Dogs recognize people by scent, so letting him sniff your hand lets him become familiar with you.
• Where to pet: Once the dog has sniffed your hand, pet him gently under the chin or on the chest.
• Don't hug dogs: Kids should never hug a dog. Dogs don't hug each other, and they don't understand hugs to mean love and affection like humans do. Wrapping your arms around a dog can stress him out and lead to a potential negative reaction.
• Keep your chin up: Never put your face down in front of a dog. This can be threatening to the dog and cause him to react.
Early-socialization for your puppy
Exposing your puppy to new people, places and situations early on is important, as it sets the stage in helping your dog feel confident with new experiences throughout his life. Early socialization can begin as soon as you bring your puppy home.
• Socializing at home: It's important to begin socializing your puppy right away since the peak socialization period is from birth to 16 weeks. A good way to start is scheduling a daily playtime at home. This is a time where you and your puppy can bond. You can sit on the floor and cuddle with your dog or play with him using his favorite toys. Invite a friend or two over to play with the puppy.
• Puppy's day out: It's best to introduce your puppy to new people, places and things gradually. Once your dog feels comfortable around new people at home, you can try taking him for a walk around the block. Once your dog begins to feel more comfortable with daily walks, take him to places where there are lots of people and activity such as a local park. If your dog is on a leash and sitting calmly, invite new people to pet him.
• Socialization after puppyhood: Socializing is an ongoing process that continues throughout your dog's life. Keep introducing your dog to new places, sounds, people, environments and other animals. You can take your dog to a new dog park or take a different route while walking. Using treats and praise to reward your dog will make it a positive experience for him.
Give cats a happy home
Cats are not as self-sufficent as people think. They need support, and what cats need out of their environment to have a happy, stress free life differs from dogs. The American Association of Feline Practitioners and the International Society of Feline Medicine recently released guidelines on feline environmental needs:
• Provide a safe place. Cats need a quiet, private, secure place to escape to. A cardboard box, perch and open cat carrier are examples. There should be a safe location for every cat in the home, and they should be separated from each other to reduce any unwanted interactions.
• Provide multiple and separate key environmental resources. These resources are associated with feeding, drinking, litter use, claw scratching, playing and resting/sleeping. Since cats generally are solitary animals, they need to be able to meet these needs without feeling challenged. Each cat should have its own food bowl, and there should be one litter box per cat.
• Provide opportunity for play and predatory behavior. Cats have a strong predatory instinct, which consists of locating, capturing, killing, preparing and eating its prey. Any object that moves and promotes them to chase can be used. Allow them to occasionally catch and mouth it. Be sure to put away anything with a string or that could easily be eaten and cause an obstruction after use.
• Provide positive, consistent, and predictable human-cat social interaction. This need will vary from cat to cat based on genetics and early rearing experiences with people. It is important to not force this interaction but to allow your cat to initiate it. Once it ends the interaction, allow it to go and do not force further contact.
• Provide an environment that supports the cat's sense of smell. Felines use their strong sense of smell to evaluate their surroundings, and this promotes a feeling of comfort and security. Facial and body rubbing are used to mark the areas and objects (such as your pants leg) where they feel safe.
A place Tweety can call home
Birds are a popular household pet, and one that may seem to be an easy-to-care-for choice. Like dogs and cats, though, birds require a significant amount of care and attention, beginning with a proper cage where they can live.
Before you decide to bring a bird home as a pet, you should first consider where you will put a birdcage. The cage should sit in a location that has appropriate temperature and natural light, and allows for regular interaction between you and the bird. This location should be large enough to accommodate a sizable cage. Never keep a bird in the kitchen. Teflon-coated pans, cooking and cleaning sprays, hot water and gas stoves can pose serious health risk to birds. Also check for drafty spots that can chill a bird, especially in winter.
When buying a birdcage, purchase the largest cage that you can afford. Look for a metal cage designed for easy cleaning, and can withstand periodic disinfection. The cage should have a removable tray in the bottom and feed and water bowls, serviceable from outside the cage. Skip cages heavy on decorations, made of wood or wicker, or round or cylindrical, which can inhibit a bird's movement. Look for a wide cage with room for a bird to move horizontally. The size of the bird housed will dictate the size and spacing of the cage bars. Keep in mind that you'll want bars close enough together to keep your bird from escaping.
Other key birdcage features should include:
• Perches for your bird to sit on and climb; but not too many that can reduce the space available for movement.
• A minimum of one food bowl, one water bowl for drinking, and one bowl for bathing. Make sure that birds can reach the bowls comfortably from a perch. Don't install bowls placed directly under perches where they will be fouled by bird droppings.
• Include some birdcage toys. Although finches and canaries are less likely to use them, other birds - such as parakeets, lovebirds, and cockatiels - can use them to climb on, chew up or hide in. Some birds also enjoy seeing themselves in small mirrors.
Cleaning up pet messes
• Slobber: A traditional home recipe for cleaning drool off of glass calls for white or apple-cider vinegar and water. Other recipes add rubbing alcohol and a couple of drops of scented essential oils like lavender. You'll have to use some elbow grease.
• Diarrhea: After you clean up the mess, sprinkle baking soda over the spot. Wait for it to dry and then vacuum it up the next day.
• Pee puddles: Look for products like Natures Miracle that contain enzymes or combinations of enzymes with bacteria. First blot, don't rub, away any excess urine before applying the solution. You'll have to be patient – it can take several hours or days to remove the odor to prevent future visits to that spot.
• Sticky substances: You can effectively remove sticky substances, such as tar or chewing gum, from your dog's coat with vegetable oil or peanut butter.
Preventing pet theft
Most dog owners consider their four-legged friend a part of the family, so the thought of the family pet getting stolen is unimaginable. With pet theft consistently on the rise, dog owners need to practice caution when it comes to their pooch:
• Keep your dog close. Keeping your dog on a leash and close to you during walks will reduce the likelihood of him wandering off and catching the attention of thieves.
• Never leave your dog unattended in your yard. When your dog is outside by himself in the yard, especially if it's visible from the street, your dog becomes an easy target.
• Be cautious with information about your dog. If strangers approach you to admire your dog when you're out on walks, be careful with how much information you give. Don't reveal how much your dog cost or details about where you live.
• Don't tie your dog outside a store. Leaving your dog tied outside of a store can be a recipe for disaster. If you need to go shopping, go to dog-friendly stores or leave your dog at home.
• Protect your dog with microchip identification – Collars and tags can be removed so make sure you have permanent ID with a microchip. Keep contact information current with your microchip recovery service provider so you can always be found should your dog be recovered.
Caring for older pets
As pets age into their golden years, they might need some assistance in their everyday lives. So make your home safe and ergonomically friendly for your cats and dogs.
• Raise those bowls: Your pets might be lower to the ground, but constantly having to bend down every time they need a drink of water or a bite of food can wear down their joints.
• Give the dog a life: Your furry baby isn't as limber as she used to be, and it doesn't help if she's really tiny. Getting up on the couch is no mean feat. And let's not even talk about your bed, which might as well be Mount Everest to your small friend. Solve the problem of her potentially hurting her back or legs while trying to get on and off the furniture by getting a set of stairs.
• Get them a really good bed: You're not the only one who deserves a good night's sleep. And don't assume that any old pillow will do for your best friend; your precious pup should also have a comfortable bed. Particularly for aging dogs, memory foam beds can provide comfort and relief.
• Install a cat waterfall: A filtered fountain provides a continuous flow of fresh, trickling water, which encourages the cat to drink more. This is especially useful for older felines suffering from kidney disease or diabetes.
• Make the stairs safe: Humans and dogs alike can trip and fall down the stairs. But if you have an aging dog - especially an older large breed, like a Lab or golden retriever, which typically have back and haunch stiffness in their later years - getting down the stairs can be a precarious proposition.

1) Holland says there will be more change/harsher internal evaluation this off-season as opposed to others due to the sizable dissapointment. Might just be blowing smoke up our butts, but I guess we could be optimistic? Very glad to be reminded that Jim Devallano still has a big role with our team at times like this.
2) Says we will be in the market for a top-tier defenseman, regardless of what happens with Lidstrom. Suter is the #1 target, as we all know. The secondary targets are interesting to see in print:
-Jason Garrison(27, 6-2, 218, L)
-Dennis Wideman(29, 6-0, 200, R)
-Filip Kuba(35, 6-4, 225, L)
-Matt Carle(27, 6-0, 205, L)
-Barret Jackman(31, 6-0, 205, L)
3) Says we will be in the market for a goal-scoring winger. Parise is the #1 target. And again, the secondary list is of interest:
-A. Semin
-P. Parenteau(RW, 29, 6-0, 193, L)
-S. Doan
-R. Smyth
-D. Jones(RW/LW, 6-2, 210, R)
4) Says we will search for a big, physical 4th line forward. Unfortunately, no targets are listed.
5) Says we will search for a new backup goalie, due to concerns about MacDonald's back. Listed targets:
-T. Vokoun(35)
-J. Hedberg(39)
-J. Harding(27)
-S. Clemmensen(34)
-M. Biron(34)
*(T. Conklin will not be resigned, and there is no interest in D. Hasek)
6) Says we are more inclined to improve through free agency than trades, but that trade talk will heat up around the draft...and, if not signed by then, we would be interested in acquiring the negotiating rights to Suter and Parise.
7) Our own free agents. 1) Lidstrom won't be making a decision until after the organizational meetings. 2) Hasn't been decided if Homer will be offered a contract or not. 3) Sounds like we won't be bringing back Hudler. Holland hasn't talked to his agent in "weeks". He's expected to pull 4+ mil/season, and we would not be willing to offer that much. 4) Stuart's first choice is the Sharks. We might be his second choice. But we might not have the roster or cap space available to bring him back if things don't work out with the Sharks.
Here's how that all looks on paper:
My Custom Lineup
Johan Franzen ($3.955m) / Pavel Datsyuk ($6.700m) / "Goal-Scoring Winger?" ($0.000m)
Gustav Nyquist ($0.875m) / Henrik Zetterberg ($6.083m) / Valtteri Filppula ($3.000m)
Danny Cleary ($2.800m) / Darren Helm ($1.400m) / Todd Bertuzzi ($2.075m)
"Big, Physical 4th Line Forward?" ($0.000m) / Justin Abdelkader ($1.300m) / Patrick Eaves ($1.200m)
Drew Miller ($0.838m) / Cory Emmerton ($0.533m) /
Niklas Kronwall ($4.750m) / "Top-Tier Defenseman?" ($0.000m)
Jonathan Ericsson ($3.250m) / Ian White ($2.875m)
Brendan Smith ($0.875m) / Jakub Kindl ($0.883m)
Jimmy Howard ($2.250m)
"Veteran Goaltender?" ($0.000m)
CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion)
CAP SPACE (22-man roster): $18,657,955
1) Looks like there might not be room for Holmstrom, Hudler or Mursak on the roster, if we add what we want to.
2) Looks like there might not be room for Quincey or Stuart if Lidstrom returns (unless we're willing to make Smith the 7th defenseman - doubtful).

Football is back which means it is time for Ballers & Busters. When I first began doing this series, it was to evaluate the Raiders' young talent in the preseason and hopefully give a good indication of who would make the team and perhaps make some noise come the regular season. So breaking down performances in the preseason is a return to B&B roots.
This preseason game was one that was in doubt for a while with the lockout. But the CBA was done and the Raider players took the field on time so no games would be missed. This first contest was to be the first full contact any of these players would have this offseason. Its purpose was to bridge the gap between non-contact drills and the regular season.
Hue Jackson as head coach and much of his staff made their Raider debuts. A few new additions to the Raiders suited up in Silver and Black for the first time and quite a few rookies put on an NFL uniform for the first time as well.
So as the Raiders dipped their collective toes in the water, we will see who sank and who swam.
Matt Shaughnessy
He was in for one series in which he had a run stuffing tackle for no gain, a tackle on a pass into the flat, and a near interception on a pass deflection. That is a whole day's work for some players. It is really no surprise when you consider the level of play Shaughnessy has displayed in practice the past two weeks. He is an unstoppable force that will wreak havoc on opposing offenses this season.
Sebastian Janikowski
He really shouldn't have taken as many field goals as he did but that was through no fault of his own. He hit four on the day with the longest one coming from 57 yards out. He kicked it off the dirt and it split the uprights perfectly. If this were the regular season, that would have tied him with himself for top five all-time. He accounted for 12 of the team's 18 points in the game.
Cooper Carlisle
The first team offense was in for two series and on those two series, the longest run went for seven yards: a rush by Michael Bush through a gaping hole that Carlisle opened. Two plays later they set up a screen play in which Reece pulled down a nifty one-handed grab. When Reece turned around, he saw Carlisle lay a solid block to clear space for him to take it for seven seven yards.
Jared Veldheer, Stephon Heyer
Veldheer's blindside protection gave Jason Campbell all the time he needed to work the Raiders' offense. The first play of the game was a long sideline bomb in which the Cardinals were called for pass interference. The penalty was good for 40 yards and set up the first points of the game. On the next drive Campbell was able to find Denarius Moore for a 26 yard completion. When Veldheer was replaced by Heyer, the protection was much the same. Heyer gave Boller time to work through the remainder of the first half. He also paved the way for a nice 11 yard run by Rock Cartwright on a drive that resulted in a field goal and a Raider 6-0 lead.
Second team defensive line
While the Raiders only played their first team defense one series, the Cardinals kept their first team offense in two series. This was a good test for the Raiders' second team defense. The Cardinals were able to take advantage of the Raiders' backup defensive backs. They drove the ball all the way to the Raiders' one yard line. But they would get no farther. Big John Henderson and company would stuff the Cardinals' rush attempts three straight times to keep them out of the endzone and force a turnover on downs. A huge goal line stand.
Travis Goethel
Goethel has been the Raiders' utility linebacker this camp, stepping in for every single position in the linebacker corps. This day he came in for Rolando McClain at the middle linebacker spot. He looked very comfortable running the offense, too. He looked like a mirror image of Greg Biekert out there directing traffic from the middle. Goethel also had three nice tackles in the game. The first was a run stuff for no gain. The second tackle had him tracking down the running back who had taken a pitch around the outside for one yard. He was also in on that goal line stand to keep the Cardinals out of the endzone and give the Raiders the ball back. He is a valuable asset to this linebacker corps and the coaches are confident that if he needed to step up and start at a moment's notice, he could do it.
Denarius Moore
His 26 yard catch was the second longest gain of the day. It went for 26 yards and most of it was running after the catch. He had three catches on the day but that particular catch showed fans the kind of big play ability coaches and media see from him every day in practice.
David Ausberry
Ausberry is another impressive rookie who has raised some eyebrows in camp. The first thing that strikes you is how big he is. You don't expect a former receiver to be that imposing. The next thing that strikes you is his big play ability. I would compare him to Vernon Davis. He has that kind of athletic ability. He was the Raiders' final draft pick in round seven. With the Raiders switching him to tight end from wide receiver, the immediate thought was that he was a project destined for the practice squad. He has played his way onto this team in practice. His savvy fade touchdown with toe drag in this game may have cemented that. It was the only Raider touchdown on the day.
Chuck Bresnahan
The defense in this game from the perspective of the defensive line and linebackers, was superb. The first team defense did their job and made way for the second team. The second team, as I mentioned before, was very strong. Bresnahan dialed up a few timely corner blitzes that all yielded positive results. It was a good start to Chuck's return to the Raiders.
Walter McFadden
For anyone wondering why I didn't mention Walter McFadden in camp reports much, wonder no more. He was the Cardinals' whipping boy in this game. He came in the game on the second series and quickly gave up a 17 yard catch to put the Cardinals in scoring position. His worst drive came just before halftime. On first down, the small corner was handled easily on the block on a six yard run. A few plays later he was called for pass interference. Two plays after that, he had another pass interference. Two plays after that, he gave up a 10 yard catch. The drive ended with the Cardinals' first touchdown of the day to send them into halftime up 7-6. McFadden would later give up another 10 yard catch and first down before being replaced by Sterling Moore for the remainder of the game. According to the unofficial depth chart, McFadden is the third cornerback. That is a truly scary thought, and a reason that depth chart is unofficial.
Khalif Barnes
He was in for two series and had four false starts. That is inexcusable even for an entire game. One of those false starts turned a field goal attempt into a punt.
Demarcus Van Dyke
After Wal Mac on the depth chart is Demarcus Van Dyke. He is the highest drafted player of all the backup corners and was out there playing with the first team defense as the team tried to get a good indication of what they have in their backup corners. He was up against Larry Fitzgerald in this game which is a difficult task for even the best corners in the NFL. The Cardinals took DVD back to school. They took a long sideline shot at Fitzgerald and Van Dyke appeared to have good position but didn't high point the ball or go after it aggressively. Fitzgerald reached up and snatched the ball from him for a 43 yard gain. Two plays later Van Dyke missed a tackle on a 15 yard run. Just like McFadden, the drive just before half was not a good one for young DVD, as he gave up two catches on the drive, the first for nine yards and the second was the drive ending touchdown to give the Cardinals the lead. It was his final play of the game.
Hue Jackson
Things went wrong before the game even started. The team captains went out for the coin toss and one said defer and another said kickoff. The refs heard kickoff and that gave the Cardinals the option to start the second half. They chose to receive. So if anyone was wondering why the Raiders kicked off to begin the game and to begin the second half, that's why. On the defensive drive to begin the second half, Hiram Eugene dislocated his hip, ending his season and perhaps worse. Then there was the fact that the Raiders were inside the five yard line twice and opted to kick field goals instead of going for a touchdown on fourth down. This is the preseason, there is nothing to be gained from kicking a field goal. Add in the fact that Jackson has been preaching the importance of limiting the penalties to the point of having referees on the field all of camp — only to have the Raiders commit 10 penalties for 84 yards including five false starts.

This Article argues that leading accounts of the First Amendment's Religion Clauses fail to provide a coherent and morally attractive position on whether religion warrants special treatment as compared with secular ethical and moral doctrines. Focusing on two central issues involving whether laws must have a secular purpose and whether religious exemptions are constitutionally mandatory, this Article rejects existing theories as either theoretically inconsistent or substantively mistaken. If religion does not warrant special treatment, then it is important to ask what our attitude should be toward the Religion Clauses. Under originalist theories of constitutional interpretation, the Religion Clauses should be considered morally regrettable. Under non-originalist theories, there may be interpretations of the constitutional text that allow for the possibility of moral reconciliation. Either way, rejecting the idea that religion is special requires reassessing our understanding of the Religion Clauses.

After nearly 20 years in Ellicott Square, the Erie County Democratic Party is moving its headquarters to the Larkin Center of Commerce in the burgeoning Larkin District.
Democratic Committee Chairman Jeremy Zellner, who officially announced plans for the move Monday, said the time has come for a change of venue.
"The Ellicott Square building has been a great location, but we've outgrown the place," said Zellner, who took the helm of the party in September. He said there was no acrimony involved in the decision to relocate, nor is the move based on any disagreements with the owner of Ellicott Square, Carl Paladino.
"Carl has been a great landlord. We just wanted to be a part of this upcoming revitalization of the Larkin District," Zellner said.
The Democratic Party's new offices will be on the ground floor of the Larkin Center of Commerce, a 1.3 million-square-foot complex in the Larkin District that is already home to nearly 100 businesses.

The City of Greeley Museums received a grant of $5,169.09 from The Community Foundation Littler Youth Fund for a 2013 program about Rattlesnake Kate.
The Weld County icon and single mother, Kate Slaughterback, is widely known for killing 140 prairie rattlesnakes and creating a flapper-style dress out of 50 skins in 1925, a news release said. The dress is on display at the Greeley History Museum as a part of the exhibit, "Kate Unveiled: The Woman Behind the Legend of Rattlesnake Kate."
The Community Foundation grant will fund renovations to Rattlesnake Kate's homestead dwelling and informational panels at a different museum location, the Centennial Village Museum, according to the release. The renovated dwelling will include an exhibit of live prairie animals and an interactive, computer-enhanced learning station.
For more information, call the museums at (970) 350-9220 or visit greeleymuseums.com.

i think Emmerton and Mursak would probably not get claimed on waivers and even if they do we have 16 forwards, although I would love to see what Mursak could do with a full season. Nyquist is already better than both of them and so is Tatar
Of course I don't,but we have 15 forwards signed,16 with Abdelkader,with Brunner and Nyquist on 2-way contracts.
Ken said he won't pull a trade if it's isn't a perfect fit or makes perfect sense,therefore he'll waive Mursak and Emmerton which I doubt or likely send Nyquist and Brunner to the Griffins

You can't judge ability based on a 5 game stretch.
Oh, come on.
"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!" - Kierkegaard

That is correct, and there is a good reason for that. The reason is because Holland traded lots of picks during the pre-cap era that affected us through 2007/08. In an old interview (after the last CBA), Holland stated that drafting and developing is more important than ever now. I remember one quote where he said "draft picks are gold". Since the he only traded one pick that I could remember, and he only traded it because his hand was forced by Stuart wanting to go back to Cali, and the inevitable Lidstrom retiring.
Look up the NHL draft from 2001 - 2007. Red Wings didn't have many picks, they gave most of them away for players like Schneider / Wooley and whoever else...
Now look at the 2009 - 2012 prospects we drafted. Our prospects are top 10 on hockeyfuture and top 3 on hockeyprospectus
I would say that is pretty damn good with all things considered.
When Nyquist and Smith show what they can do this year, you'll see how damn amazing the future is =)
This is what people who don't like Holland need to see how progressive he is in his thinking. With the state of the current FA market, drafting and development is the way to go.
As I've been saying, I'd never offer a FA a 13 year deal. I'd only offer a deal like that to someone you drafted and developed yourself. There's no surprises that way. I think Minnesota is going to regret signing Suter and Parise.

I look at our forwards vs. defensemen debate in two ways:
(1) The lack of another Top 4 defenseman is the biggest threat towards the Wings keeping the playoff streak alive. In other words, while the team is still good, if the bottom falls out for this team, it will almost certainly be because the defense suddenly became terrible without 28 minutes of Lidstrom and 25 minutes of Stuart every night.
(2) On the other hand, the lack of 1 or 2 additional scoring forwards is probably the biggest limiting factor that has our potential maxed as a 1st or 2nd round playoff exit. In other words, the team is probably good enough to get there, but we lack the explosiveness on offense to overcome younger opponents dedicated to blocking shots and playing strong team defense in the playoffs.
So they both needs, in my view. It's not like we have an open choice to pick one or the other. A forward move raises our ceiling without protecting the floor. A defenseman addition would improve my confidence that this team continues to play a Red Wings type of hockey, but doesn't fix the problems that have gotten us knocked out of the playoffs since '09.

Every week I get an email from Ally Bank [3] informing me of how the rates will be changing (Ally Bank rates are adjusted on Fridays) and their rate structure has been confusing me as long as I've been getting these emails.
Ally Bank's Savings & CD Rates
- As of August 28th 2009, their current online savings account interest rate [4] is 1.75% APY.
- As of August 28th 2009, their current 9 month CD rate [5] is 1.55% APY.
- As of August 28th 2009, their current 9 month no-penalty CD rate [6] is 1.85% APY.
Rates are subject to change, here are the current Ally Bank CD rates [7].
Why Is This Weird?
Typically, your online savings account interest rate should be the lowest of the three (CD rates [5] should be higher given restrictions). Next would be the 9 month no-penalty CD rate followed by the regular CD rate. You should get a lower interest rate on the account with the most flexibility. Since you withdraw money from a savings account at any time, you should be paid the least amount of interest in that account. Since you can withdraw your money from a no-penalty CD at any time without penalty, it should have a lower interest rate than a regular CD, where you would have to pay a penalty to access your funds.
Ally Bank has had this interest rate irregularity [8] for a while now but recently it's come back in line.
So What?
If you have money in Ally Bank's online savings account [3], you should open a 9 month no-penalty CD immediately and transfer all your funds into that CD. Should the online savings account interest rate ever increase past the no-penalty CD, then you could liquidate the no-penalty CD without penalty. If you need the money, you can liquidate the no-penalty CD.
In fact, the best strategy would be to open up multiple no-penalty CDs so that if you do need the cash you don't have to close out one big CD. Ally Bank does not have a minimum for CDs. For example, if you have $5,000 to save and you aren't sure if you need the money. Open up five $1,000 no-penalty CDs. If you need $500, you can just close one of the CDs. If you opened up one single $5,000 CD, then you'd have to liquidate the whole to get access to just $500.
Am I missing something?

MARTINSBURG - A year ago, when Jaren Williams first started training with Elite Mixed Martial Arts, the gym, which is located on Winchester Avenue, had a pair of punching bags, a speed back, a small section of a cage and a few mats.
"When Jaren first came in, we knew he had good hands and great boxing. All we had to do was work on the kicks and the ground game," Elite MMA coach Jesse Kirby said.
Those humble beginnings for Williams and Elite MMA have resulted in a flyweight championship and a successful title defense in a submission victory Saturday for Williams (5-2) and a new location for the Elite MMA team.
Williams initially won the flyweight title on Sept. 15, but he did not have to fight due to a forfeit that awarded him the belt.
With the belt in his possession heading into last Saturday's fight with Eddie Green, Williams was ready for the test.
"There was a lot of training, lots of cardio," Williams said. "I was constantly working on strength, conditioning, striking and my ground game."
During the fight, Williams took two minutes of punishment from Green, who was on top of him throwing punches.
"I hadn't taken punches like that before," Williams said. "After taking those punches, I was able to seize an opportunity."
The opportunity came as Green made a mistake that allowed Williams to escape and reverse a rear naked choke attempt for the first-round win.
"He was taking some punches for the first two minutes and then he 'turtled up' in going on his arms and knees," Kirby said. "Green then went in too high for the rear naked choke, and Jaren snuck around and locked his submission in."
"It feels good to get the win," Williams said of the championship defense. "It's another service win, which is great."
Williams also was excited for Elite MMA's coming move to Extreme Sportsplex on Dec. 1, which includes a professional size octagon and more punching bags and speed bags, which are currently in use at Elite MMA.
"I am excited for the move," Williams said. "There's a lot more equipment I can use to become a better fighter in the future."
"The move is going to be good for every one of the fighters," Kirby said. "There's plenty of room for us to work on different aspects such as jiu jitsu, the karate classes also taught currently in the gym we have.
"We won't have to worry about the space because of the great location, and it only gets better from here."
Williams is expected to have another title defense in the next few months and has future aspirations to become a professional.

Nashville 'Star'
A 19-year-old Lambert competes on the first season of USA Network's country music competition, Nashville Star – and happily places third. "I was hoping not to win," she explains. "The winner had to go in right after the contest and make a record in a couple of weeks, and I wasn't ready."
- 2005
Fired Up
Lambert releases her first album, Kerosene, which debuts at No. 1 on the country charts, before being certified platinum. The singer, who had a hand in composing 11 of 12 tracks (she even co-writes "Greyhound Bound for Nowhere" with her father Rick), receives a Grammy nod for best female country vocal performance for the title track.
Love 'Duet'
Lambert is paired with fellow newcomer Blake Shelton for CMT's "100 Greatest Duets," where the duo sings "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma." "We just hit it off," Shelton tells of their first meeting. "I'm from southern Oklahoma, she's from north Texas and we had a lot to talk about." Before long, Lambert moves to Oklahoma, a few miles down the road from Shelton. "I have a great dad and brother, so I grew up with good men," she tells PEOPLE. "That's how I set my standard."

Tour Buddies
With two hit albums under her belt, Lambert and Shelton hit the road together, co-headlining fairs, festivals and clubs in 2008.

Lambert 'Revolution'
Lambert releases her third album, Revolution, which earns her six Academy of Country Music awards nominations in 2010. "I didn't even know there was six categories I could be in," says Lambert, who takes home three awards for top female vocalist, album and video of the year for "White Liar."
- 2010
A Down-Home Proposal
After five years of dating, Shelton surprises Lambert by popping the question with a diamond-and-platinum ring deep in the Oklahoma woods. "I was wearing a camo jacket and no makeup," Lambert tells PEOPLE of the proposal. Shelton adds, "We've been together long enough to know that we're more miserable apart than we are together. I think we're meant to be together, so we're just going to do something about it – finally!"
Four Score!
Lambert takes home four trophies at the CMA Awards, including album of the year for Revolution and female vocalist of the year. During her acceptance speech, Lambert, who turned 27 on awards night, said, "I don't know what's goin' on." I just told [fiancé] Blake [Shelton, who picked up the trophy for male vocalist] I think we need to go to church."

A few months ago, Dave Smith challenged his goaltender. He wanted Tony Capobianco to go from good to great.
The junior has elevated his game and was on top of it in all phases Thursday night as he picked up the shutout for Canisius in a 2-0 win over 15th-ranked Niagara in front of 1,032 at the Buffalo State Ice Arena.
Capobianco made 35 saves and keyed a Golden Griffin penalty-killing unit which held Niagara to 0-for-7 on the power play.
Talk to the goaltender and it's all pretty simple.
"We had a couple of big faceoff wins and when we had the chance to clear, we did," he said. "Guys were just having good body positioning."
A bit low-key? Exactly. The even-keeled attitude helps him shake off a bad goal or a bad game. But Smith wanted him to bring forth a more competitive spirit on the ice.
It was the third shutout of the season for Capobianco and the fourth of his career. In four games against nationally ranked teams, he has elevated his game. In those games he has a 1.51 goals against average and a .962 save percentage.
"He has grown as a player with his competitive level," Smith said. "He's really laid back. He's a laid-back person. And he has raised his competitive level in practice. ... He is what you want in a No. 1 goalie — competitive, solid and he works his tail off. It's fun to watch him."
While Capobianco's defensive unit did an outstanding job of giving him a clear sight on many of his saves, there were several spectacular stops. Perhaps the key save of the night came when the game was still scoreless. Niagara's Ryan Rashid found himself alone and staring at an open net. But Capobianco sprawled to his left, threw out his glove hand and made the save.
Moments like that inspire his teammates.
"When it looks like a guy is coming out of nowhere to score, he stops it," said junior Ryan Bohrer, who scored for the Griffs. "It gives us confidence. It's not so much momentum. It's more that we just want to play up to our end of the bargain because he's playing so well."
The special teams battle took its shape in the second period. Canisius started out with a power play then was whistled for three straight penalties, one which resulted in 1:20 of a two-man advantage. While Niagara generated shots on goal and scoring opportunities, it couldn't find the net and failed to sustain any offensive momentum.
"We didn't do anything well tonight and special teams were the difference in the game," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said. "We were very passive. We didn't have our legs. We had no passion. It was the one of the worst games we played all year."
Meanwhile, Canisius capitalized on its power play. Bohrer scored at 15:14 of the second when his shot beat Niagara goalie Carsen Chubak high.
Chris Rumble and Duncan McKellar picked up the assists. It marked the fifth straight game the Griffs have netted a power-play goal — their best streak since 2009.
While Canisius has built its season's success on strong defense (its 2.25 goals allowed ranks tops in Atlantic Hockey) its offense has started to come alive. Credit the power play with that. In the last nine games, the power play is coverting on 28.6 percent of its chances, scoring 10 goals in its last 35 man-advantage opportunities.
"Our unit has been different with Chris Rumble on the point," Bohrer said. "He's getting the puck on the net."
With 51 seconds left in the game, Cody Freeman beat a Niagara player to a puck deep in the Purple Eagles' zone and tipped the puck in the empty net for the 2-0 margin.
The loss ends a three-game winning streak in the rivalry for Niagara. It also marks just the second time the home team has won since the Purple Eagles joined Atlantic Hockey for the 2010-11 season.
With the win, Canisius improves to 10-8-2 in Atlantic Hockey and its 22 points puts them in a three-way tie with Air Force and Holy Cross for third place in the conference standings.
Niagara slips to 16-2-2 in the conference standing, but the Purple Eagles' 34 points keep them comfortably in first place ahead of second-place Mercyhurst.
The teams meet again Saturday at 7 p.m. in Dwyer Arena to conclude the regular season series. Canisius then travels for a pair of games at Air Force on Feb. 15-16 while Niagara has a home-and-home with Robert Morris that weekend.

About 20 guests – including bridesmaids, family and friends – celebrated Ashlee Simpson's impending marriage to Evan Ross with a "bohemian pool party" at big sister Jessica Simpson's L.A. home.
"Someone was on hand to help all the guests make flower wreaths," a source told PEOPLE. "The bridesmaids picked a throwback photo to decorate the cake," they added.
Below, the cake in question, featuring what definitely qualifies as a "throwback photo" of Ashlee, 29.
Jessica, 34, posted the next pic with the caption "all the beauties celebrating Ashlee!!! I love you Ash :)" (The fashion mogul herself wed Eric Johnson last month.)
Jessica also posted a picture of herself posing in a black one-piece swimsuit with a friend, captioned with "#hardworkpaysoff." It does indeed.
