Laurier celebrates donor generosity on Tag Day
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 19/14
Hundreds of purple tags are decorating Lauriers Waterloo and Brantford campuses today to mark the universitys fourth annual Tag Day. Tag Day is held to show the impact of Lauriers exceptional community of donors, including alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and friends.
Tags are attached to a variety of places, objects and equipment made possible or enhanced through donations. Every tag serves to highlight the many ways in which donations and philanthropy positively impact the university and the student experience every day, from computer rooms and campus clubs, to research and building renovations.
Donations have made it possible for me to have a space to collaborate with my fellow students, said Melissa Jarosz, vice-president, academic affairs for the School of Business & Economics Student Society. The KPMG Atrium is the hub of Laurier SBE in my opinion. I cant tell you how many projects I have worked on in this atrium and how many late nights I've had here, leaving at two or three o'clock in the morning. Its a place to meet with friends, its a place to meet with fellow students and it has shaped my university experience in a way that I will never be able to fully explain.
Jarosz was just one of the students who shared the impact donors have had on their experience at Laurier through a series of videos. To view the videos, visit lauriersaa.blogspot.ca.
In addition to raising awareness, Tag Day provides an opportunity for the Laurier community to thank the thousands of donors whose generosity help to enrich the Laurier experience.
Tag Day is an initiative of the Development & Alumni Relations Office and is executed by the Student Alumni Association.

Sometime around 2001, I was re-reading an old letter written by a daughter of my great-great grandparents, James P. and Mary Burns McPherson. I had read the letter several times over the years, but this time the words jumped off of the page and in my face! She told about her father keeping record in his diary of the marriages that he had performed as the Justice Peace in Springdale, Wisconsin. The letter was unsigned and undated -- good information about the great-greats, but not about the writer. That was the beginning of nearly a decade-long search for the diary. Research at the Wisconsin Historical Library in Madison, as well as the very helpful folks at the Mt. Horeb Area Historical Society, helped me to narrow the author of the letter to the youngest daughter of the great-greats. Then it was the search of her descendants to locate information about the diary, and finally the diary itself. Then it took another three years to come to how I could obtain a copy of the Diary. In November, 2010, I traveled half way across the country to Madison, Wisconsin where I had a great week with McPherson cousin-types that I had never met. We photographed the diary, scanned pictures, told stories and made lasting bonds with the now far flung family members. A wonderful week!

Live Oak County Sheriff Larry Busby said Wednesday, Oct. 24, started with a call at 10:15 a.m. that reported a vehicle theft from Firebird Oil Field Service Company off Interstate 37, about a mile north of U.S. Highway 59.
The vehicle was a 2010 black Ford pickup.
Busby said that afternoon, Jim Wells County reported auto thefts, including the Ford stolen in Live Oak County.
A helicopter had spotted three vehicles suspected of being stolen from Houston and Live Oak County.
The black Ford pickup was found abandoned near the Live Oak County line on County Road 308.
At 6:06 p.m. while a man was driving his tractor – near Farm-to-Market Road 3162 not far from CR 308 – the suspect jumped into his 2012 Silverado pickup and took off.
The pickup had a cell phone and a rifle in it. And the vehicle was outfitted with OnStar, which was used to electronically shut the pickup down.
OnStar was activated at 6:57 p.m.
Busby said the pickup was recovered in good shape on I-37 a little north of where the pickup was stolen at Firebird Oil Field Services. But the cell phone and weapons had been taken.
Busby said a little up the road, the suspect stole another pickup, a 2011 Nissan Titan, reported missing at 7:25 p.m.
"He probably took state Highway 72 up toward Kenedy," Busby said.
The stolen cell phone was used later and traced to Eagle Lake in Colorado County.
Busby said Eagle Lake was notified of the pursuit and given a description of the stolen vehicle.
Busby said law enforcement chased the suspect into Wharton County where the suspect abandoned the pickup.
"He almost made it across Wharton County, but he abandoned the vehicle and broke into an unoccupied house," Busby said.
"The next day, somebody discovered he was there," Busby said.
Busby said he got a call around 9 or 10 a.m. the morning of Oct. 25 that someone had reported a house being burglarized in Wharton County.
Two Wharton County sheriff's deputies went to the house near the Wharton County line and found the man exiting the house.
They ordered the man to surrender and submit, but Busby said the suspect kept putting his hand in his pocket.
Busby said the deputies knew the suspect had a weapon, so they shot and killed the suspect.
The man was identified as being 16 years old and deported from the United States three times.
"He was here illegally," Busby said.
"(The cartels) use minors because they figure they won't be prosecuted," Busby added.

Current Dodgers home trip and Road trip to see the Dodgers at Minnesota!
In this current homestand, the Dodgers are 1-5. Terrible homestand so far. They got swept by the Reds and they were on the verge of being swept by the Astros! Imagine that! The Astros who have the worst record in baseball. They avoided the sweep by winning 1-0 on Sunday. We tried going to play catch on the field after the game but the lines to get to the stadium were huge so we left.
Now Dodgers start inter-league with the Detroit Tigers, then the Angels come to town. I believe Kristen from http://mlblogsblithescribe.wordpress.com/ will come to Dodger Stadium for one of those games. I hope to meet her. I will miss the game on Sunday since my friend LuvtheDodgers23 and I will take the red eye on Saturday night. Saturday is Photo Day at Dodger Stadium.
But first The Tigers are in town. Tonight Bill Slayback will sing the National Anthem and God Bless America. I talked to Bill during one of the SABR www.sabr.com meetings where he was a speaker. He said he was a little nervous to sing at Dodger Stadium and that he might change his mind. I hope he did not. I am looking forward to hearing him sing.
From http://www.atlantatimemachine.com/misc/records.htm
In late 1973, as Hank Aaron was closing in on Babe Ruth's home run record, Detroit Tigers pitcher Bill Slayback released this tribute to Hammering Hank. Slayback wrote the music and the lyrics were penned by legendary Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell, a one-time Atlantan who, in the 1940s, had announced Atlanta Crackers games on WSB radio.
Wednesday is another Throwback weekday game. Sadly I won't be making this one. My boss is on vacation so I'll listen to the game while working. I'll miss the throwback uniforms that the Tigers will wear but I'll catch the wonderful pictures that Jon SooHoo or Juan OCampo take at http://dodgersphotog.mlblogs.com/
So Saturday night we head to Minnesota to watch the Dodgers! Hope they can beat the Twins. We are excited about the trip. I also want to go see the statue from the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I want to go there and take a picture while I also toss my hat. I don't have a hat like in the picture but I'll toss my Dodger hat or this blue hat that LuvtheDodgers23 got me! I know…a lot of fans of that show have done that but I want to do it too!
I just learned that the type of hat that Mary Tyler Moore used is called a Tam or a Tammy. From wikipedia:A Tam o' Shanter (often abbreviated Tam or TOS) is a Scottish style hat originally worn by men. The hat is named after a character in a poem written by Robert Burns in 1790.
I hope to meet Randy from http://heirloom.mlblogs.com/ in Minnesota.
Let's go Dodgers! Let's Go!!!
Now I got that theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore show in my head "Who can turn the world on with her smile?…..

I pumped for the first time tonite and did see some "moisture" so I am very hopeful!!!

First, I should give you some background...
I've been producing milk like crazy ever since the beginning with my daughter 5 months ago. At first she coughed and sputtered and gagged often when eating because there was such a rush and abundance of milk when she ate. Eventually, she got used to it, and she learned to deal.
I still know that I'm producing more than adequate amounts of milk. It generally takes about 5 minutes for me to pump 5 ounces, and I don't pump often... only when she's going to need some when I won't be around that day or the next. So, it's not like I'm incredibly comfortable and familiar with the pump at all.
Now that she's 5 months old, she's started to eat very, very quickly. In general, a feeding lasts about 3 to 5 minutes. I fight with her to get her to feed longer sometimes, but she doesn't want any more. It's not that she's distracted. She's full... I think. Either that, or she's learned to "snack" all day and night.
So... with all that, I can't find any information about babies that eat quickly. I suspect she is doing this because she's getting full fast or because she knows that A LOT of milk is coming, and she's just not THAT hungry. I also realize that mammals like to snack... graze... if you will... and that she might just be really good at doing that.
is there a way for me to teach her to eat longer, or less often? At this point, much of my days and nights are spent feeding her since she's snacking, she's eat all the time it seems. She didn't eat like this during any growth spurts before and she's been doing this trick for several weeks now.
any suggestions would be great!

2 arrested in northeast Iowa murder-for-hire plot
A northeast Iowa man and woman have been charged with plotting to kill the woman's ex-husband.
Cresco Police said 32-year-old Malissa Farmer and 35-year-old Daniel Padgett were both arrested on Monday. They're both charged with conspiring to kill Farmer's ex-husband and Farmer is also charged with theft.
Police say the mother of five had given Padgett a weapon to carry out the crime before they were arrested.
Investigator Richard Hollenbeck says he was surprised to learn that two citizens of Cresco were capable of something like this. Police learned of the scheme because another man Farmer approached first reported it.
Both Farmer and Padgett remained jailed Wednesday morning. Farmer was being held in lieu of $15,000 bond. Padgett was being held in lieu of $10,000 bond.

80 deg ! Horrors! That's 30º over the maximum comfort level. Forty is better, thirty better still. Thirty's getting down to jacket weather. (50F = 10C; 30F = -1.1C)
bexter, just for fun I googled 'cutlery worship', and found these among other listings (I wasn't about to go to either site, I can tell you!):

bexter--I am assuming those sites were satirical; but I still don't care to go find out for sure!
I'll be getting to bed here before too much longer. I have set the dishwasher to run at about 5 a.m., and for the first time in a few years have left the bathtub faucet dripping slightly: it was 7ºF (-13.8ºC) a couple of hours ago. We seldom get down into the single digits even at night, and I would rather not wake up to frozen pipes in the morning. Er--morning that includes daylight, I mean.

The death of a University of Hawaii athlete has left the swimming team shocked. Frank "Peter" Chi, 19, was known as a scholar and an inspirational team member.
There is an old video of Chi giving an acceptance speech for winning an award for being "most inspirational."
In the video, Chi said, "Anything can happen to anybody. What you really have to do is just live your life to the fullest. Have no regrets and don't take anything for granted because you never know."
In the home season-opening meet on Friday, he placed fifth in the 100-yard breaststroke for the University of Hawaii.
On Saturday, Peter didn't show up for the second day of the meet. The team found out after the win that Peter had passed away.
"Losing Peter was the same as losing a family member. It was pretty hard to deal with. We were in the team room, and everyone immediately started crying and bawling," said Peter's teammate Mitch Reed.
His head coach, Victor Wales, says Peter had Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a heart disorder. He said Peter had a heart episode two years ago, but survived it and went back to the team stronger.
"He went from being a walk-on swimmer, to a scholarship athlete, to a finalist at our conference, to achieving United States National Time, which is the highest thing you can get as a swimmer," said Wales.
The coach said Chi brought the whole team together with his humor, and he will always remember Peter as the team's inspiration.
Wales said, "He knew it, and everyone knew the risk he was putting himself at, but that was Peter."
Peter's teammate Cody Miller said, "We want to now do it not just for ourselves and for the team, but for Peter too. We want to try and win conference for Peter."
Wales said UH's athletics department is planning a memorial later this week.

Lillie Belle Toombs likes to know what goes into her canned food.
Toombs, who lives in the Pep community, cans her vegetables and fruits each year in October. She said she was taught by her mother when she was 17 years old.
"It's become a tradition. I like to do it," Toombs said.
Foods Toombs cans include green beans, carrots, beets, black-eyed peas, apples, peaches and pears. She also makes jellies.
She said her husband, J.T., waits all year for her to make cinnamon pickles.
"He loves those pickles," Toombs said of the cucumber and cinnamon concoction that takes several days to make.
But what Toombs said she enjoys most about canning is being self-sufficient.
"I like to know I have my own food and I know what went into it. It doesn't have all the preservatives and stuff," she said.
Mary Kalbas owns one of the area farms that supplies canners with their fresh picked produce.
A "you-pick garden," Kalbas supplies area residents with rows of vegetables still on the plant ready to be picked. Kalbas grows several kinds of fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, jalapenos, green beans, squash, bell peppers and watermelon.
Kalbas said 90 percent of the people who pick the fresh vegetables she offers are going to can at least a portion of what they get.
"People like fresh canned vegetables. You can't beat it. You can open up that can a year from now and they'll still have that (fresh) taste," she said.
Kathy Wall of Clovis agreed.
"Fresh canned vegetables taste like they're fresh out of the garden," Wall said.
Wall learned to can with her mother when she was 8 years old in the same kitchen where she now cans her vegetables with her children and grandchildren.
"We're making memories. I want to teach my kids and grandkids to do it. Not many people are passing on the tradition any more. It's sad," Wall said.
Wall said she cans everything she can get her hands on.
"All the stuff at the farmers' market, every bit of it can be canned," she said.
Wall said she cans because it is a tradition, it is economical and the canned foods are there when she needs them.
"It's just self-preservation really," she said.

The only thing that Soul Eater has in common with Bleach is the whole thing about the Shinigami, and they don't even share the same perspective on that aspect.
OT: I would definitely suggest Dragonball Z if you haven't seen it already.
Samurai Champloo is what Kubo took his inspiration from.
Soul Eater? I've never watched it but it seems similar?

The PGA Tour season now starts on Saturday.
Wind squalls that howled down the mountains above Maui were so severe Friday that the opening round of the Tournament of Champions was scrapped. Rickie Fowler and Jason Dufner, the first to tee off on the Plantation Course, only played eight holes.
Six players in the 30-man field had not even teed off.
The decision to wipe out the round was great news for Scott Stallings, who already was 7-over par through four holes. As for U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson?
"It stinks for me," he said.
Simpson was 3 under when he stepped to the eighth tee, one of only two players under par. The other was Jonas Blixt, who was 1 under.
Play was suspended for seven minutes beginning at 12:27 p.m. Friday due to strong winds. Another delay came at 12:46 p.m.
The wind gusts that caused the initial suspension were at 41 mph. The maximum gust on Friday was 45 mph. Total rainfall at The Plantation Course up to 3 p.m. on Friday was 0.25".
Before Friday, the last time the PGA Tour declared "play null and void" and restarted a round came at The Players Championship in 2005 at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The last time a round was suspended on the PGA Tour due to wind came at the 2012 AT&T National. The third round of the 2012 Humana Challenge was also delayed due to wind.
The plan was to play 36 holes Saturday, brutal news for the caddies who had to lug bags on this elevated golf course. But the forecast was for more wind.
The first round will begin at 7:30 a.m. off split tees.

CHICAGO – The White Sox will have to prevent Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez from picking up career win No. 100 without three of their starters.
Manager Robin Ventura decided to rest first baseman Paul Konerko, left fielder Dayan Viciedo and catcher Tyler Flowers today. Left-handed hitter Conor Gillaspie makes his first start at third while switch-hitting Hector Gimenez starts behind the plate. Jeff Keppinger shifts to third with Konerko on the bench.
Hernandez is 3-4 with a 3.53 ERA in 12 career starts against the Sox. He hasn't pitched well at U.S. Cellular Field, however, going 1-4 with a 4.75 ERA in seven starts.
The Sox's last four games against Seattle have been decided by one run.
Right-hander Dylan Axelrod starts for the Sox, facing the Mariners for the first time in his career.

Mount & Blade Nexus Launchedposted by Dark0ne Game News
It is with great pleasure that I announce that we are now supporting the Mount & Blade series of games at Mount & Blade Nexus.
The Mount & Blade series of games are unlike any game you'll have played and I'm a huge fan, in spite of the fact I've never quite been able to finish a campaign of either of the three games; Mount & Blade, Warband and With Fire & Sword despite pumping in over 50 hours of play time to each. If you've never heard of the Mount & Blade series, picture Civilization or Total War style castle building and world-map domination mixed with a first/third-person combat system that is second-to-none, with the real kicker being huge battles and excellent mounted horse combat.
You travel the world map in the name of your king (or in your own name if you wish in Warband), defeating rival faction warlords or sieging forts and castles until you are the last faction standing. The graphics aren't amazing compared to some recent releases (the Mount & Blade series is by no means old and dated, mind) but what it lacks in crazy video card killing graphics it more than makes up for in huge battles, gameplay and scope. So while in Skyrim your PC will start to die horribly with more than a few fighting NPCs on the screen at any one time, Mount & Blade will throw 200 horse-riding bandits at you without breaking a sweat. Trust me, after the first 30 minutes you won't care at all about the looks!
The Mount & Blade complete pack can be purchased from Steam (and other places) for £34.99, which I assume will be $49.99 for our friends across the pond. Alternatively and controversially, if you're a bit stumped for cash right now then Mount & Blade: Warband is £19.99 on Steam. I think you'll find most in the M&B community would recommend you play Warband first, and move on to With Fire and Sword if you're looking for something a bit new (which you won't want to do any time soon!). Warband is everything the original Mount & Blade was, but better, and with multiplayer if you wish!
The Mount & Blade series has a dedicated modding scene with over 2,500 modifications to boot. I have merged the prominent community modding site, MBRepository, in to the Mount & Blade Nexus database so that all files available on the Repository are available here on the Nexus too. This was, of course, done with the blessing of the owner of MBRepository, Janus.
If you're starting to tire of Skyrim, or if you're looking for something new in your gaming life then I recommend you get your teeth in to Mount & Blade, there's literally hundreds of hours of fun to be had in the vanilla games, and then hundreds more to be had within the already mature modding community. And all the mods will be here, at Mount & Blade Nexus.

Definition: The one and only substance, which composes existence
More about the term: The big problem for Leibniz was, mathematically, if something takes up a finite amount of space then it must be divisible. This was the infinite divisibility of matter (DM, Sec. 9, lines 6-9). Why is this a problem? Because he's trying to solve the question, "What is substance?" Sub+stans, that which stands underneath. This is where he gets the word monad, mono-, one, unity. A monad must have these qualities:
- Cannot be divided any further
- Does not have parts
- Not material, but rather more like a soul
- According to Leibniz, they are a spritual substance
- Infinite number of them

Wayne Memorial warns about flu
January 16, 2013 —
In the face of an aggressive flu season, Wayne Memorial Hospital is asking all visitors with flu or flu-like symptoms to "visit on another day" or "visit by phone," a recommendation from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Over the three months of October, November and December 2012, the hospital confirmed 24 cases of influenza A. Between October of 2011 and March 2012—six months—the hospital confirmed only three cases of the same disease.
"We are seeing a significant increase in flu cases, and we are taking precautionary measures to protect our patients, our staff and our visitors," said James Pettinato, RN, director of Patient Care Services. Pettinato reported that the hospital's emergency department is seeing approximately 10 more patients every day with flu-like symptoms. "And, in the hospital itself, among our admitted patients, we have five to 10 patients daily with complications related to flu-like symptoms."

A Republican candidate for Wisconsin schools superintendent has blacklisted five reporters he considers biased.
An internal memo from state Rep. Don Pridemore's campaign said he won't call the five back, nor give phone interviews to them or their media outlets.
It names Mary Spicuzza of the Wisconsin State Journal, David Umhoefer and Patrick Marley of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Jack Craver of The Capital Times and Scott Bauer of The Associated Press. Craver provided a copy to the AP.
Neither Pridemore nor his spokeswoman, Tina Gorzalski, immediately returned phone calls from the AP seeking comment Sunday.
The memo dated Dec. 21 said that if one of the reporters requests an interview, they must submit their questions in writing and the campaign will respond only to questions it wants to answer.

scoop jardineDraft prospects Tu Holloway, Scoop Jardine, Kris Middleton, John Shurna, Michael Eric and Bernard James will work out for Knicks tomorrow

John Shurna

kinda catchy
couldn't find any highlights.
Micheal Eric
Khris Middleton

Tu is a goodcatch. i like bernard james too.
tyson and bernard combo would be great.
Scoop or Gtfo
-Has great passing vision
-looks to push the ball on fastbreaks + nice finisher on the breaks
-Excellent finisher around the rim, able to take contact and still finish
-Looks to shoot in the flow of the game aka no chucked up shots, majority of his shots are very good looks at the basket
-knows how to utilize the backboard
-Able to penetrate in the lane and makes the smart move once he is in the lane.
-attacks the basket Constantly (something this team is lacking)
The downside is he's not such a great FT shooter well at least not from what his stats show =\.and not so athletic ... but still a very intriguing pick for a deep second rounder.
I like his game, he looks like a suitable backup PG. I think he would be perfect for our second unit.. he has a nice feel for the game... kind of reminds me of Isiah Thomas from the Sacramento Kings... but more crafty&Stronger
of course youtube highlights can make anybody look like the best thing in the world, but from what im seeing he looks promising ...
BTW Tu Holloway looks VERY PROMISING as well... he looks like he would be a nice scoring punch off the bench and bring alot of energy. both TU and SCOOP would be nice pickups IMO.
Then again im no Scout expert there may be better picks available.. who knows
what do guys think about shurna?
shurna vs novak?
maybe he can be our kyle korver or dunlevy.
I think he will be gone by the time it's our time to pick
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
if novak walks and we sign this kid. definitely a upgrade because of his all-around game.
i like both pg Tu and scoop. it's hard to tell because scoop shared mins with triche. i'm looking at the stats, injuries, and game i like both aspects. ionno hard to tell.
I really like Kim English from Mizzou as our pick at 48. Been saying it for weeks..
How I like to look at this (who to draft) -- there will be a lot of good players on the board when we pick (48) that I think can help us -- this draft looks deep enough where we can get a rotation player there -- but if I could find something comparable elsewhere (a DL/Euro/undrafted FA at a rockbottom price for example), I'd look to secure said player first instead of burning a pick on something similar/identical. I'd try to draft a player I couldn't get going this route.
Look at Darius Johnson-Odom from Marquette...Ok, decent player with upside, no question -- 6'2" lefty SG with limited (if any) PG skills though which gives me some pause but still a decent talent. We could make him fit here as a nice little scorer off the pine. Here's the thing: there's a guy that went undrafted a few years ago out of Baylor---Curtis Jerrells---who I think is similar, maybe a better player. Definitely just as good a talent imho. I think Jerrells actually has more PG skills even though he's really a scorer himself too. My thing--why draft Johnson-Odom when we can get Jerrells for peanuts and then turn around and use the pick on something else? That's how I'd like the Knicks to look at this. There's countless player comparisons I could make just like this one...Our talent evaluation should extend beyond the draft -- it's got to include all the available players out there.
Kim English is a 6'5"/6'6" SG that shot the lights out last year from deep -- 45.9%. That's crazy good. Tuned in to watch Mizzou play quite a few times this year to see Phil Pressey and Marcus Denmon, but quickly came away impressed with English as well...Been reading that he's too slow, not athletic enough, a one-trick pony, etc. -- not true. What he is is an EXCEPTIONAL jumpshooter with range that can also put it on the floor a little bit to keep teams honest and defend better than average. I've actually seen this kid handle the ball a little and run the team at times too...Is he some above the rim athlete with crazy hops a-la Iman Shumpert or someone like that? No, he's not. So what? Neither is Ray Allen -- how has that worked out for him throughout his career? Didn't stop him from being a good player, did it? A top player in fact. That's who this kid really reminds me of at the risk of going a little overboard -- Ray Allen. We should consider ourselves lucky if he's on the board at 48. Getting a guy that can shoot the ball like he can at 48 would be a steal. I don't think he'll be there though which is why I'd hatch out a plan to move up a little to get him.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think we can use cash considerations to move up -- I believe we already used that option up when we gave Washington cash (along with a 2nd round pick) to take Ronny Turiaf off our hands right before we made the Chandler deal. Hopefully I misread that and we can use cash to move up..2nd round picks are always for sale. Remember last year how we got Jorts from NO, J. Jordan from Milwaukee the yr before, etc..What we do have is Jerome Jordan and Toney Douglas to dangle in a trade. I'd look to use these two players to move up in this draft. Jordan and Douglas are both 100% replaceable anyway and I want English.
Jon Givony over at draftexpress.net reported via twitter that Kim English looked great the other day at the NetsCombine btw. Givony: "Only one player you can say definitely looks like an NBA player in this 1st session: Kim English. Came out with his game face." Went on to say that "while all the other players are drinking water, Kim English decided to stay on the court & show off his sweet stroke," and that he looked "very aggressive" in a one on one/5 secs. to score drill. That's high praise from a solid, impartial talent evaluator...If English has a few more workouts like this, he might even turn himself into a 1st round pick. He'd be a great fit here as a complimentary player.

we can no longer use 3 million to buy a first round pick due to including the 3 million to washington in the turiaf deal.....new rules allow u t only use that 3 million once a season.......................
I agree about using Jordan/douglas as a way to move up.....There must be something Dantonio/Woodson see in practice that not only makes Jordan get zero playing time but that we released walker to sign a big man to counter jeffries injury even though we had a 7 footer on the bench...
u kidding me.... "we have draft picks?"
all this time I been searching the D.League for some decent propects at minimum wage, do to our (6 players) $58M cap.
Donnie Walsh screwed us big time in his 3 seasons by never trading for a future draft pick, but giving out our future Knicks draft picks at the drop of a dime.
Anyway, I'd love to see us use Jordan and/or Douglas to move up to the 30-35, 35-40 range and take English. Don't know if that's asking too much. Don't even know if English will be there 30-40 -- he might play himself right into the 1st round by the time the draft rolls around...Maybe we can also go the sign & trade route with Fields and/or Jorts for the same purpose. We could easily go out and immediately replace any one of these guys for peanuts if we so choose (and I'd agrue that they'd each turn out to be an upgrade):
Jerome Jordan --> Marcus Cousin - upgrade, much more polished 7 footer
Douglas --> Matt Janning, Ben Hansbrough, Curtis Jerrells - all big upgrades in my book
Jorts --> Jeff Adrien - slightly different players but comparable, possibly an upgrade
Novak --> Ryan Wittman - comparable, possibly an upgrade
Fields --> Jamelle Horne, Sylven Landesberg - upgrades
We only have 1 pick at 48 but I think we could still add a lot of talent to this roster provided we're looking in the right places.

I wish they worked out Scott Machado also because that kid has got serious game and could be an absolute steal.

Authorities in central Wisconsin said they don't suspect foul play following a house fire in the Town of Sigel this week that killed three family members.
The Wood County sheriff's department said Wednesday's fire apparently started near the garage. Authorities said the blaze appears to have been accidental.
The victims were identified Thursday as 79-year-old William J. Heiser Sr.; 71-year-old Janet M. Heiser; and their son, 38-year-old William J. Heiser Jr.
The fire was reported Wednesday about 2:30 a.m. Fire officials who responded found the house engulfed in flames.
Sigel is about 40 miles west of Stevens Point.

After an uplifting challenge from the state NAACPŌĆÖs charismatic president Dr. William Barber, the rally closed with us all taking a pledge to work on voter registration and organizing, then joining hands and singing ŌĆ£We Shall Overcome.ŌĆØ
The march and rally was a follow up to the series of Moral Mondays held in Raleigh last fall while the legislature was in session, and a precursor to more activity to come ŌĆö in the form of grassroots empowerment, voter education, litigation challenging the constitutionality of the recent gerrymandered redistricting plan, and nonviolent direct action leading up to the November election.
What Rev. Barber termed ŌĆ£not a moment but a movementŌĆØ has been precipitated by a series of actions taken by the state government which he called ŌĆ£not Republican issues nor Democrat issues, but moral issues.ŌĆØ These include:
ŌĆó Declining Medicaid coverage for 500,000 people.
ŌĆó Ending federal unemployment benefits for 170,000 of our stateŌĆÖs citizens.
ŌĆó Eliminating the earned-income tax credit for 900,000.
ŌĆó Cutting pre-K education for 30,000 children.
ŌĆó Reducing the number of teachers and teaching assistants, thereby increasing class size and reducing quality.
ŌĆó Shifting $90 million from public education to vouchers for private schools.
ŌĆó Slashing taxes for the top 5 percent while raising them on the rest of us.
ŌĆó Allowing gun purchases without background checks and carried in parks, playgrounds, bars and restaurants.
ŌĆó Removing public financing of judicial races.
ŌĆó Prohibiting death row inmates from challenging racially discriminatory verdicts.
ŌĆó Instituting voter restrictions requiring a photo ID (which 318,000 registered voters donŌĆÖt have), reducing early voting, eliminating same-day registration and rescinding the automatic restoration of voting rights for ex-felons.
A parade of speakers addressed these and other issues with fervor and determination. Dr. Barber then cited passages from the Bible and the U.S. Constitution, and statements and actions by former Republican presidents Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, which have recently been violated by our present governor and legislators, whom he characterized as ŌĆ£extremists and not real Republicans.ŌĆØ Labeling their actions as ŌĆ£mighty low,ŌĆØ he called on us to take the ŌĆśhigher ground.ŌĆØ
This was the second inspiring event IŌĆÖve been privileged to attend in recent weeks. The first was the Haywood County Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast at Lake Junaluska, which featured special music by Chuck Beattie, the group singing of James Weldon JohnsonŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Lift Every Voice and Sing,ŌĆØ and a marvelous talk by Dr. Dudley Flood, retired former associate state superintendent of public instruction. I was asked to offer one of the prayers that morning, some words from which seem appropriate for both these occasions:
ŌĆ£Grow in us, we pray:
ŌĆó A renewed compassion for human need.
ŌĆó An insistent desire to see that all are amply fed, clothed, housed and provided for.
ŌĆó A deep commitment to work with You to create a just and provident world where the needs of all Your children for health, nourishment, shelter, and hope are fully met.
ŌĆó And the energy and will to join in the struggle for a just and peaceful world.
ŌĆ£We also pray for our leaders, that they may place people before profits, partnership before partisanship, caring before conniving, justice before jealousy, well-being before wealth.
ŌĆ£Help us to draw on Your power to bring ŌĆśgood news to the poor, release to the captives, sight to the blind, freedom to the oppressed.ŌĆÖ And may the result of our efforts in Your name be that ŌĆśjustice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.ŌĆÖŌĆØ

Year of the Snake
Pasadena joins Los Angeles and Alhambra in celebrating the Lunar New Year
By Carl Kozlowski 01/30/2013
For many area residents, New Year's festivities ended a month ago.
But for the San Gabriel Valley's sizable Asian community, this month offers plenty of other opportunities to celebrate the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Snake.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China and that country's Consulate General in Los Angeles, numerous performers and artisans from China's Jiangsu province, among them the Xiao Hong Hua, or Little Red Flowers dance troupe, are scheduled to help usher in the Year of the Snake during this year's Lunar New Year celebration Saturday at the Pacific Asia Museum, 46 S. Los Robles Ave., Pasadena.
"We do hope that the festival will help our American people understand China, Chinese culture and Chinese people," Che Zhaohe, cultural consul for the Chinese Consulate General in LA, told the Weekly. "If you want to know China and the Chinese people, come and spend a day with us [and] taste Chinese culture."
Celebrated by millions throughout Asia and the Pacific Islands, the Lunar New Year begins Feb. 10.
On Feb. 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the city of Alhambra will stage its own New Year event with the 22nd Annual Alhambra Lunar New Year Celebration, a one-day street festival on Valley Boulevard, between Garfield Avenue and Almansor Street. More than 40,000 people are expected to explore its 260 booths, dragon boat rowing station, auto square, children's workshops, cultural demonstrations, ethnic food and games.
For more information, visit cityofalhambra.org.
But the biggest party of all takes place in Los Angeles' Chinatown, where more than 125,000 people annually gather to enjoy a full weekend of fun at the Chinese New Year Festival, highlighted by the city of LA's annual La Fiesta Parade. Featuring a Chinese lion and dragon procession that requires 25 men to maneuver, the parade takes off at 1 p.m. Feb. 16 along Hill Street, while the overall festival takes place noon to 8 p.m. Feb. 16 and noon to 5 p.m. Feb. 17 at Central Plaza, 943-951 N. Broadway.
Aside from the festivities, from 10:30 a.m. to noon Feb. 16 and 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 17, explorers can enjoy the Undiscovered Chinatown Walking Tour. Along the way, participants will visit a temple, an herbal shop, art galleries, antique stores and other off-the-beaten path points of interest.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to amble through myriad alleyways, plaza stalls and courtyards to discover the charm of Chinatown. Tickets are $15 for Saturday's tour and $20 for Sunday. Call (626)833-3853.
But if you want to get a jump on all the downtown action, head to the Thien Hau Temple, 756 Yale St., at 11 p.m. Feb. 9 on the eve of Chinese New Year weekend. Attendees can experience traditional incense burning, make offerings to deities, watch traditional lion dancers and witness 500,000 firecrackers explode. Call (213) 680-1860.
For more information on the Chinese New Year Festival, visit chinatownla.com or call (213) 680-0243.
At last year's Pacific Asia Museum festival, more than 5,000 people turned out to enjoy ethnic foods, crafts, performances and museum galleries representing various Asian cultures. Like last year, the entire museum will be taken over by artisans, dancers and food vendors in hopes of engaging the community in intercultural understanding and appreciation through art. Visitors on Saturday can expect demonstrations of various art forms, including lantern making, sugar art, paper cutting, cloth art, Suzhou silk art and Chinese knotting.
While the museum has held Lunar New Year celebrations in years past, this pan-Asian festival began two years ago as a way of including more cultures in hopes of extending the museum's reach within the community. In addition to Chinese cultural presentations, Korean and Japanese performers will also be participating.
"It's an exciting way to accommodate a much larger group of people for the biggest celebration of the year for many Asian cultures," said Pacific Asia Museum Marketing Director Chelsea Mason.
The Pacific Asia Lunar New Year Festival is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to the public.
For anyone interested in a more intimate look at their work, the performers and artisans from Jiangsu will also be performing from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. today and tomorrow. Admission is free with regular museum admission, which is $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors and free for members and children 11 and under. For the schedule of festival events, visit pacificasiamuseum.org/_events_calendar/families.aspx.

The sprawling farm at 27515 State Route 7 will also be offering you-pick pumpkins.

The farm is open from noon to 6 p.m.
Sweetapple Farm in Barlow is bringing back its Halloweekends. Spooky hayrides started this weekend, and are offered at 7:30 Fridays and Saturdays. The rides, which are appropriate for all ages, cost $5 per person.
The farm also offers a flashlight maze every Friday and Saturday in October. The $4 experience begins at dusk, with the last maze entry at 9:30 p.m.
Campus Martius Museum will be hosting an evening of Halloween-inspired activities Friday, Oct. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m.
"There will be a 'Haunted Appalachian Trail' down in the basement. We'll have activities throughout the evening like pumpkin decorating and dancing the 'Monster Mash,'" said museum education program director Glenna Hoff.
The cost is $15 per person and is intended for children in the third grade and older, but younger children accompanied by parents are welcome to attend, said Hoff.
For those looking to feast on some brain, the fifth annual Harmar Zombie Walk is slated for Saturday, Oct. 19, starting at 6 p.m.
There will be a zombie parade and zombie olympics. Entry into the costume contest is $5.
The Lafayette Hotel will be hosting a "Hallowedding Whodunit Mystery Weekend" Oct. 25-27. Packages, which start at $209, include a two-night stay, all meal courses, a Saturday night masquerade ball and participation in the mystery.

A haunted forest behind Frontier High School runs from 7 to 10 p.m. The $5 admission takes guests on a hayride through the forest with stops at different spooky stations throughout the forest.

At Newport Elementary, the Halloween Bash starts after area trick-or-treat ends at 7:30 p.m.
