The current show at the Folger Shakespeare Theatre is an exhilarating production of Shakespeare's "Henry V," a play full of substance and wit under any conditions. This production is extraordinarily substantial and witty.
There are many reasons why this "Henry" is appealing, but they all point back to a central fact: Director Robert Richmond has a unified view of the world that his Henry inhabits, and from that fact, all the play's comedy, tragedy and romance makes perfect sense.
The story of a young king struggling to keep the uneasy peace between England and France, "Henry V" takes place immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the famous battle where England fought bravely and won over a militarily superior France.
|'Henry V'
|Where: Folger Shakespeare Theatre, 201 E. Capitol St. SE
|When: Through March 3
|Info: $30 to $68; 202-544-7077; folger.edu
Richmond has cast his major role brilliantly. The part of Henry calls for an actor who can display extremes of pity, anger, humor and self-doubt. Zach Appelman does all that and more, making every facet of his young king seem part of a larger and more fascinating whole. Whether he is cheering on his troops before battle or musing on the happiness a king can achieve or wooing the lovely princess of France, Appelman makes it clear that he embodies a complex character who is deep, decisive and capable of great human feeling.
Most of the other members of Richmond's ensemble are equally striking. Katie deBuys is charming as Katherine of France, and the scene where Catherine Flye, as her lady-in-waiting, teaches Katherine certain English words is one of the finest, and funniest, in the play.
Richard Sheridan Willis plays a variety of roles in this "Henry," from the Chorus to a French herald; he excels at capturing a broad spectrum of nuanced attitudes. The play's delicious low comedy is portrayed well by Michael John Casey as Nym, James Keegan as Pistol and Louis Butelli as Bardolph.
This "Henry" is a beautiful production, from its use of music to Andrew Griffin's effective lighting design to Mariah Hale's lush costumes, which set it squarely in a time when men wore doublets and knee-high boots and women wore gorgeous brocades.
But more impressive than the production's beauty is Appelman and Richmond's clear-eyed shared vision of the young, brash, sensitive man who is determined to become a king worth following.

Old rodent droppings, dangerous temperatures and bare hands handling food are just a few of the set backs health inspectors found in local restaurants.
KLTV 7'S Annette Falconer runs down the list in tonight's Restaurant Reports.
Rib Masters in Whitehouse is the first on the list that didn't measure up during inspection. Inspectors noticed cigarette butts and an ash tray by a sink and a box of cigarettes on a shelf next to the sink. In the food prep area, there were no paper towels or soap next to the hand wash sink station. And pest control had to be called after old rodent droppings were found throughout the kitchen. Total demerits: 26.
La Hacienda off Highway 110 in Whitehouse had cooked taco meat discarded, after it was cooled down improperly. And a cup of coffee was found under the prep table next to the utensils. Total demerits: 20.
Employees at Polo's Grocery on Oakwood in Tyler were seen handling tortillas with their bare hands, and an expired pan of tamales was found.
Cooked rice, sliced tomatoes, milk, and chicken were just some of the items out of temperature. Total demerits: 19.
McDonalds on the south southwest loop 323 in Tyler had toxic chemical items stored next to food items. Apple pies were discarded after inspectors observed an employee's hair touching them. At a sink station, there were no paper towels to dry off hands after washing. Total demerits: 17.
And finally, H K Donuts off FM 2493 in Tyler, the kolaches were stored in bad temps..making the food potentially hazardous. And no certified food manager was in sight. Total Demerits: 16.

NURS 1171 (Mrs. Patrice McLain): Theories & Concepts of Professional Nursing
The purpose of this guide is to help you find sources in Cornette Library useful for completing your Nursing 1171 assignments. First we'll look at reference sources, then explore databases you can use to find journal articles, and finally turn to tools for finding books.
Reference Sources
A library's Reference collection is a good place to start research on a topic. The sources you find there can provide information on people; definitions of words; drug dosages and side effects; illustrations of the human skeleton, muscles, and organs; and other nursing/medical topics. This information can prove useful later when you search for journal articles or books. You may not check out the books you find in Reference, but you can make photocopies using your Buffalo Gold Card. If you need assistance, ask at the Reference Desk on the first floor of Cornette Library.
Print Reference Sources
Reference sources (basic information sources), including encyclopedias and dictionaries (both general and subject), statistical publications, almanacs, handbooks, and directories, provide brief factual information. The call numbers for nursing-related Reference books begin with the letter R. Ask at the Reference Desk for help finding appropriate reference sources for your topic.
Online Reference Sources
- Health & Wellness Resource Center
- Includes up-to-date reference material and full-text articles. Features a medical dictionary, medical encyclopedia, and drug finder.
Journal Articles
Cornette Library provides access to a number of online resources to help you find journal articles. Some provide the full text of articles, while others may give only the citation and in some cases an abstract or short summary of the article. Some of these resources are general in nature, covering many subject areas. Others focus on particular subjects like nursing. Since some of the resources listed below include articles from both magazines and journals, you must learn to distinguish between these two publications. When you find articles, evaluate them to make sure you are getting valid information.
While most of our online resources include the full-text of the journal articles they index, some only provide citations. Once you have reviewed the citations to determine which journal articles you want, search by journal title to determine whether the Library subscribes to the journals you need and whether they are available in paper, microform, or online. If the Library does not have the journal or issue, you may order the article through Interlibrary Loan.
All of our online resources are available from off-campus as well as in the library. You will be asked to login: use your Buff Advisor username (for example, js123456) and your Buff Advisor password (for example, buffaloes).
- Citations, includes links to full-text in all areas of nursing and allied health
- Academic Search Complete
- Cross-disciplinary database. Offers options of limiting results to items from peer-reviewed journals, and full-text item.
- Health & Wellness Resource Center
- Full-text, includes a medical encyclopedia, medical dictionary, drug & herb information, and both popular and academic articles.
- Medline (EBSCO)
- Citations and full-text for journal articles in the medical sciences, including nursing. Much more full-text than the free version, PubMed
- Nursing Collection (Your Journals@Ovid)
- Full-text of the 39 nursing journals in Nursing Collections 1 and 2. Limited number of simultaneous users, so please LOGOFF when done searching.
Most of our database will include the logo on the options for each search result. Clicking this link will open a popup window with several options for retrieving the full-text of the document. One or more of these choices will be shown:
- One or more links to full-text of the cited article,
- A link to a pre-set search of the Cornette Library catalog for the cited source,
- A link to a pre-filled Interlibrary Loan request form for the article, or
- A link to various help options.
If you would like more information about the feature, please see the tutorial Using SFX to Link to Articles
If you need assistance with searching journals or databases, ask at the Reference Desk (first floor) or the Periodicals Desk (second floor). You may also call the Reference Desk at 651-2215 during the hours Cornette Library is open or use our Ask a Librarian service.
Books may provide recent information or historical perspective on a topic. Because of their length, they can provide more in-depth coverage than reference sources and journal articles.
Cornette Library's Online Catalog
Cornette Library's online catalog lists books found throughout the Library. The catalog is accessible by clicking on the words Library Catalog at the top of most Cornette Library Web pages. Books located on the Library's Loan Shelves can be checked out from the Circulation Desk using your Buffalo Gold card. As with Reference books, the call numbers for many books on nursing topics begin with the letter R. When you find books, evaluate them to be sure you are getting valid information. Remember you'll need current information for most topics, so check the publication date.
Citing Your Sources
Why must I cite the sources I use for research projects?
- To give credit to the author of the information you use.
- To avoid plagiarism (WTAMU Code of Student Life: Appendix I-Academic Integrity Code). Plagiarism is a serious offense that can result in a failing grade or worse!
- So that others can verify the information.
- To assist others in doing their own research.
APA Style
A copy of the 5th and 6th editions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is kept at the Reference Desk. Additional assistance with citing electronic publications is available from the APA online site, which is accessible from Cornette Library's Citation Basics page.
Your Comments
There's always room for improvement!
If you have suggestions for improvements or would like to comment on something you found especially useful about this course guide, please email Linda Chenoweth. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Why is there such heated debate over Creationism vs. Evolution?
Recently Fox News and Gallup posted some poll results:
I found them interesting and wondered why they cause so much discussion. Two theories both sides unwilling to budge. So I devised an experiment and on a Christian blog I posed that evolution was true and on Ted as you may know I posed a debate on evolution and sided against it.
In both cases the arguements were fierce and hence my final question on the subject in TED. I appoligize for those who got heated and there were a few. I thank those who tried to answer.
So for this question I am wondering about why this topic is so heated? Your answers will help my report for school.

Oct 16 2012: I'm not much of a fan when it comes to analogies but let me try one anyways.
In your "about me" it states that you are a Nuclear Power plant operator.
You have a vast number of safety measures and procedures in place around the operation of this nuclear plant.
If a group of neo-astrologers begins to lobby the government and the education system that astrology is a viable alternative to predicting future events like earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear accidents and it is superior to your safety procedures because you can't predict when something will go wrong, only react to it when it's too late.
They further demand that it be taught in schools as an equivalent safety mechanism to your procedures and that it should be put in place in the entire nation's nuclear reactor plant to better protect us from misadventure. They draw their authority from Genesis, statements by Mathew and the magi interpreting planetary position to portent the birth of Jesus.
The pro-astrology group forms organizations to slip "predictive astrology" into the schools and want to debate you at every possible time on the predictive ability of their science and the lack of it in yours.
You know they are idiots but every time you destroy one of their arguments, they simply rephrase it and state it again as if it's something new. They begin to attack you in the courts.
You are forced to fight back, knowing that you are correctly keeping the country safe but at the same time appearing belligerent to this group when you debate and when you write books on proper safety procedures.
Do the deserve respect. No because they are morons and their belief system is absurd.
Can there be any real debate between the two groups. No, because there is no common ground. One is science and one is a delusion. How do you convince a deluded person that they are deluded.
Oct 17 2012: Exactly what does that mean. What way. the way to learn about the universe?. I don't think so.
What truth. The truth about how we became to be on this planet? I don't think so.
I have a life that does not revolve around adoration of mythical beings.
Your's was one of the most ridiculous comments I have seen on Ted for some time.
Oct 22 2012: Hi peter, guess we don't know. In fact I thought et tu Brute was made up by Shakespeare.
However there is much more evidence both of these men existed than Jesus. In fact there are no records dating back to when he was alive of the existence of Jesus. And as far as we know the gospels were recorded decades after his death. Must be good memories, or magic right, to get even the less fantastic details correct.
And then you have to decide whether you accept the magical aspects, virgin birth, water walking, ressurections, and claims etc with no compelling evidence.
Jerry WhidbyOct 18 2012: WOW Gordon those were pretty harsh words. You know we always seem to pit Christianity against Evolution. You never hear how other religions view evolution. How many countries teach evolution in their classrooms I wonder? Gordon I really do think that calling others morons, because they view things differently than yourself is what causes these discussions to go nowhere. Belittling others will never gain you a positive response. Personally I believe in both Creationism and Evolution. I view myself as a very small being from a very young species, who knows very little. I believe that would be open mindedness with a dash of humility. I am glad to finally meet someone on TED who is omniscient such as yourself. I hope your next post will be the answer to String Theory.
Oct 18 2012: If you would actually read my post I was using an analogy of an obviously debunked "science" of astrology as a stand in for creationism.
We seem to have a mental block about creationism that I thought could be addressed by looking at it a different way.
We may be a young species with a small amount of knowledge, but that doesn't mean that we know nothing nor that when confronted by a concept that we find uncomfortable to a pre-existing belief system that we should retreat from it to the supernatural.
You should get comfortable with the notion that the debate between creationism and evolution will never go anywhere because they are opposites. There is an abundance of evidence for evolution and none for creationism yet the argument that both should be taught for a 'balanced' view is repeatedly made.
They are also rooted in vastly different frameworks. Evolution is based on science that does not allow for an authority and demands only explainations that are falsifiable.
Creationism is based on an framework that relies on authoritation points of view and explainations that must be taken on belief with no evidence.
If you can have a debate within that framework you know something I don't.
I have no comments on string theory, I find the math too convoluted for me to follow.
Oct 20 2012: Hi Gordon.
I have been following this "Creationism in Schools" thing from the UK.
There is a lot of talk about "religion by the back door" & such like. When I listen to the counter argument it seems that they merely want science in school to be honest. They want evolution to be taught honestly, instead of it being stated as fact. There is a lot of opinion involved with evolution. A evolved from B, B evolved wings etc. & we've got the artists impression to prove it.
Creationists have no interest in "Creation'ism'" being taught by folks who don't believe it; that would be totally counter-productive. All they are asking is that science, & only science, without personal prejudice, be taught to our youngsters. That seems very reasonable to me.
Gordon Barker 10+Oct 20 2012: I would also like science to be taught honestly. However that includes evolution being a fact and not an opinion, that there is no supporting evidence for creationism or ID as it is called here, and that science accepts no authority figures whose opinion cannot be challenged.
There is no debate in the scientific community that evolution exists, there never has been since before Darwin.
Science is now exploring the causes and mechanisms.
Your statement that creationist have no interest in ID being taught by non-believers is unimaginably uninformed. They want it taught instead of evolution but will accept the current thin edge of the wedge as being taught as an equivalent theory.
My own point of view is that these people are insane or at least massively delusional.
Science is not a democracy and does not care about anyones opinion. It requires and relies on only evidence. All theories must be supported by evidence or they are rejected (or downgraded). For example, Newtonian gravity theory was disproven, however at low gravities and low velocities, it still works good so it has been downgraded. However, without Einstein's calculations, your GPS would not work correctly.
I require only that schools teach the truth as we know today regardless as to how much it disagrees with my own personal world view. Or your personal world view for that matter.

10 Practical Tips for Baby Care
Advice for mothers of newborns
Let Baby Have a Binky
If your baby likes the pacifier, let him have it!
"I think that about one-third of babies have massive physiologic drives to suck. They take to the pacifier and it is a great comfort to them," says Dr. Germain. Another reason to let your little one have a pacifier: The AAP states that pacifiers may help to reduce the risk of SIDS.
If you're sold on your baby using a pacifier but she just won't take one, try different brands. Eventually you may find one that she likes.

Hawaiian Volcanism
Watch for announcements about Winter 2015.
Study Away this winter in Hawaii where nature meets forensic materials science.
About the Program
Week one will focus on the formation a variety of volcanic rocks and the environmental conditions under which they form has on their structure and morphology. How does nature "select" how materials form? History surrounding the formation of the Hawaiian islands will be included as a prelude to the field laboratory experience. Typical techniques that can be used to characterize materials such as optical techniques, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy will be introduced. Student teams will be formed.
In week two, the class will travel to Hawaii to harvest volcanic rock samples that have formed under different environmental conditions from a number of locations. Student teams will record the GPS and photographic data location of each sample. Daily review sessions for the teams will be carried out as a group to evaluate samples and plan the next day. Select locations may include, but are not limited to, volcanoes such as Mauna Loa, Kilauea, Haleakala, and Leahi. Additionally, locations such as Kalapana where blistering lava meets the sea will be toured. The collected volcanic samples from these sites will be transported to WKU for subsequent materials characterization back at the WKU NOVA Center.
In week three, the class will return with its samples. Samples will be prepared and studied in the Large Chamber Scanning Electron Microscope using a variety of materials characterization techniques. Included here will be the use of optical, scanning electron, and energy dispersive spectroscopy as the primary means of sample interrogation. Data analysis will be carried out to obtain a better understanding of the manner in which nature created these materials. Student teams will deliver oral presentations of their results
Learning Outcomes
This course will address General Education Goal 8: an understanding of the scientific method and knowledge of natural science and its relevance in our lives.
- Discover nature influences the world around us in terms of the effect environment has on the formation of volcanic materials
- Gain an artistic appreciation of the symmetry and/or asymmetry in these materials that nature provides.
- Typical characterization techniques will be studied and utilized to accomplish these goals as we investigate the structure and morphology of these fundamental natural materials
- Appropriate methods for sample collection, characterization, and data analysis will be learned. Oral presentation of results by student teams will be key to summarizing this experience.

We had superheroes in our presence. Batman (Will Baker) and Superman (Owen Baker) both listened to Halloween books, watched a short Halloween video, and participated in a Halloween craft. While no one was looking, Batman carefully pieced together a puzzle. A little ladybug (Chloe McClintock) also flittered through the library for storytime.

The performances run November 29 - December 15. Registration is required for all events.
My favorite Sesame Street character would have to be Oscar the Grouch, that's why I was happy to see there's a National Grouch Day. Celebrated on October 15, this special day is dedicated to all things grouchy.
When the weather starts to turn cold, it's always a sign for me to start knitting up my holiday handmade gifts. I am the type of knitter who waits until the last minute to start working on projects, so knits that are short, sweet, and to the point are perfect.
This year's plan for holiday gifts: Hats.
I've already had the chance to place several books on hold for needlecrafts and have looked through some books with great patterns to base my hats on.

A new collection of essays co-edited by DITA's Director Jeremy Begbie has been published by Eerdmans.
Described by John D. Witvliet in the afterword as "a burst of cross-disciplinary energy and insight that can be celebrated by musicians and theologians, music-lovers and God-lovers alike," Resonant Witness brings together essays touching on J. S. Bach, Hildegard of Bingen, Martin Luther, Karl Barth, Olivier Messiaen, jazz improvisation, South African freedom songs, and more.
The collection arose from a Music and Theology Colloquium, established in 2001 and chaired by Dr Begbie, which brought together musicians, theologians, philosophers, historians and music theorists, from the UK, Germany, and the U.S. to engage in a conversation between theology and the musical arts.

The lottery is done. The Milwaukee Bucks will pick second. So where do we go from here?
Category: Draft Talk
It's hard to think of a night in the past few years, outside of that short playoff run in 2010, that Milwaukee Bucks fans enjoyed more than yesterday. There were multiple parties in the city of Milwaukee dedicated to the thing they like that typically no one cares about. Judging from the photos, videos and feedback, it sounds like the Bucks threw a helluva party over at the Evolution Lounge.
Meanwhile, a smaller, but impressively dedicated and voracious group gathered at the Upper 90 Sports Bar to chant, hope and feel a sense of relief together. As the minutes passed and people split off into groups making conversation about everything but the idea that this could all go terribly wrong in a few seconds, excitement kept growing. Finally there was a worthy cause and an opportunity for real improvement. Nothing felt manufactured on Tuesday night. This wasn't Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis being sold as guys who could matter. There was a top draft pick on the way.
Eddie Doucette was right: Hope is a very easy thing to sell.
But the excitement that stemmed from that hope was a feeling it seemed like everyone could get used to very quick.
So, not long after the internet began to claim Mallory Edens as equal parts meme and person, moments after the Bucks landed the second overall pick, Bucks fans began looking to the future. Now that the franchise was in a position to be changed forever, people wanted to know who would be doing the changing.
And the mock drafts were ready. They are always ready. Tons of them have been updated numerous times, the order of the draft be damned. The finalizing of that order was just another incentive to update who would go where. But it seems like a lot of them look to a few of them to guide thought process. There are so many, yet so few matter.
But the ones that matter, they do seem to matter, in that they have historically been fairly good indicators of where players will be selected in the NBA Draft. I basically rely on three:
ESPN: Joel Embiid
Draft Express: Jabari Parker
Yahoo: Andrew Wiggins
Among these three, a consensus hasn't exactly formed on who the Milwaukee Bucks will end up with when they select number two next month. All three mock drafts are presenting different scenarios for the Bucks, though both ESPN and Draft Express believe Andrew Wiggins will be the first pick, taken by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The general feeling seems to be that the Cavs will decide between Embiid and Wiggins, with the Bucks most likely considering those two and Parker most seriously, with a potential Dante Exum pick not off the table either.
But medical reports must be looked at, players will arrive in cities for interviews and extensive tours, basketball and personality fits must be determined – there is much to be done before June 26 when the Bucks do finally make their selection.
As the process plays out, I present a warning: Don't get too caught up in the back and forth about who wants to play where and which agent will try and manipulate the draft situation in which way. Players almost always end up going wherever they are drafted. Teams almost always draft the player they think will most benefit their team. I recognize that the Bucks are in Milwaukee and haven't been very good for quite a long time, but these tweets from Jonathan Givony from Draft Express makes me think that all of the talk about the agents of Embiid and Exum trying to force the hands of teams was way overblown:
Hearing that now that the dust has settled, agents resigned to fate, posturing expected to be fairly minimal. No huge market at top of draft
— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) May 21, 2014
With endorsement money not an issue, going as high as possible is more attractive for the bigger contract. Top-3 will likely compete for #1.
— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) May 21, 2014
So this thing seems like it will just come down to who the Cavaliers want and who the Bucks want. But, as evidenced by the variety in the mock drafts, despite a very clear top four players, the actual order in which these players will be selected is about as clear as my thoughts at the end of a very long draft lottery party night.
What does seem clear at this point though, is it will be John Hammond making the pick.
Wesley Edens saying tonight he and co-owner Marc Lasry will have input but both will rely on GM John Hammond and staff in draft preparation.
— cfgardner (@cf_gardner) May 21, 2014
Furthermore, it will ACTUALLY be Hammond, and not the new ownership group making the pick:
Edens: "We're not the basketball people. We're the owners. I'm quite confident I won't be making the decisions (on the draft)."
— cfgardner (@cf_gardner) May 21, 2014
If there's one thing Hammond has done fairly well since he's led Milwaukee's front office, it's draft players, so there should be some cause for optimism among Bucks fans. And, realistically, this seems like it would be pretty tough to screw up. Regardless of who is manning the front office or making the pick, there's a pretty small pool of players to choose from. Whether it's you or I or John Hammond making this first pick, it comes down to three guys.
So read up on Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid and (to a lesser extent maybe) Dante Exum. One of these guys will be on the Milwaukee Bucks in about a month.

I might be making a big deal out of nothing, but where is Jabari Parker? A no show at the combine (understandable) and a no show at the draft lottery (why?). Is he hurt? Sick? Fat? What gives?
It concerns me enough that at THIS point I question whether or not I want the Bucks to select him. I know it's early and he could show up for workouts and impress everyone. The question still remains, though, why did he not take the opportunity to get some press time last night?
way more question marks in my opinion with Parker than Wiggins(none of them about talent).. rather have the dynamic wing combo with Giannis for the immediate future
The Bucks party was awesome. $3 Tall Boys, free snacks, the dancers (the really hot ones) were there, and I got a high five from Bango. Can't wait for the draft party.
My argument for Jabari Parker:
Starting Lineup –
Brandon Knight
Jabari Parker
Khris Middleton
Ersan Ilyasova
Larry Sanders
Bench –
OJ Mayo
John Henson
Deep bench –
Chris Wright
Two second-round picks
That team is a blast! If Wiggins is there, they have to take him (flip his starting spot with Middleton's in the above schematic), but if he isn't, the above team is going to A) put people in the seats, and B) develop the young guys and take some pressure off them as that happens.
I just don't know how Embiid fits with the current set-up, and think they can let somebody else take that chance. We'll see how the next month shakes out. Exciting, regardless.
I just might have to check out this Bucksketball draft party…
As a prior Bucksketball piece demonstrated — the Bucks' perimeter defense was pretty awful last year and most good teams shine at that aspect of basketball today. That Knight/Parker/Middleton/Ilyasova combo looks like an historically bad defensive perimeter. While good 2 guards are scarce in today's NBA, no one in that lineup could defend even a mediocre 2 and you're left relying upon Sanders to clean up all the others' mistakes.
Rather than Parker (Big Dog 2.0), for short and long term impact I'd prefer either the legit rim protector (Embiid) or a guy whose athleticism (Wiggins) projects to at least decent defense. Wiggins is an obvious roster fit at the 2. But even Embiid would complement this current roster. Assuming Sanders gets his act together (please!), two bigs can coexist around the paint with proper coaching (think Duncan/Splitter or Gasol/Randolph). But is Drew up to that task? Pick the best player and find the best available coach.
I disagree.

w/ A.Wiggins

Now to add the other potential player pick options if can't select the player they really want at #2 and the 76ers are desperate to get their guy perhaps the Bucks trade the #2 pick for the #3 & #10 picks.
at #3…

Where are you guys coming up with your jacked up line ups?? Neither Parker nor Middleton would play the 2!! Parker is a 3 tweener 4…exactly like Middleton. You take Embiid or Wiggins, whomever is left after the first pick. You push Sanders to 4 (since he seems to love mid range jumpers) with Embiid, and Wiggins at 2 with Giannis at 3. Parker reeks of a guy that will drop 18-20 per and we will be a 7-8 seed like always…a la Redd!
I am not sure that your team above is a winner. On paper, they look like a 33-49 club. Why? Because I am not 100 percent sold on Mayo and Ilyasova playing on the Bucks, that's why! I truly believe that they both need to be dealt – possibly for a lower first round draft pick. Ilyasova already wanted out of Milwaukee last year, and I'm not sure Mayo is "there" half of the time. He doesn't look happy here in Milwaukee. Ilyasova is a slow, injured "stiff" who has one big game out of 10 when he is healthy. Also, I am not sure what the Bucks plan to do with Sanders. There will be several more key changes prior to the beginning of next year, and I would look for at least one (if not all) of those players to be dealt. But you have to love the #2. Go Bucks!
might as well add to the way too early lineup/draft predictions……..
Mayo and Ilyasova and Radujica get traded for equally expendable contracts which promptly get cut.
PG: Knight, Wolters, Giannis, 2nd round pick
SG: Wiggins, Knight, Giannis, trade chip
SF: Giannis, Middleton, 2nd round pick
PF: Henson, Giannis (in small ball lineup), 2nd round pick
C: Sanders, Zaza, Henson, trade chip
Ilyasova, Radujica, Wolters, 2nd round pick get traded
PG: Knight, Giannis, Mayo (emergency), 2nd round pick
SG: Giannis, Mayo, Middleton, trade chip
SF: Parker, 2a: Giannis, 2b: Middleton (either/or)
PF: Henson, Parker, Giannis, 2nd round pick
C: Sanders, Zaza, Henson, trade chip
this is completely inexact as we have no idea who is going to be willing to trade for what, but im fairly confident Ilyasova's time in Milwaukee is done and he will get shipped out ASAP, Mayo's Wolters' Raduljica's contracts are all good trade friendly deals.
Also, the Bradley Center must be renamed to Kohl Center East in an attempt to grab some UW mojo for some home crowd wins.
why would you think they'd trade N.Wolters in the Parker lineup specifically?
because he's a sellable commodity, and i think backup point guards are a dime a dozen in the NBA….. his selling points being his floor leadership and youth…… its a solid trade chip.
but why not include him in the Wiggins one then?
Jeremy, you can at some point shed a little light on any of Exum's stats? I've looked around a lot and only found very small sample sizes of stats. Why is everyone in love with this kid?
He'll immediately be one of the quickest and fastest players in the NBA the moment he gets drafted. Insane size and length for a PG, and still very good size and length for a SG if a team plays him there. Extremely crafty finisher… Tony Parker-like. Not a great shooter yet, but has solid form and range. Projects to be a plus defender.
Personally, from everything I've seen and heard, he reminds me of Brandon Roy, but I think he'd be perfect in Milwaukee with Giannis and Knight. All 3 can handle the ball, and Giannis and Exum are both very willing passers.
Let's not get Embiid. I'm scared he's the next Greg Oden. Giannis and Wiggins are too similar. It's better to have a mix of different weapons to create difficult matchups for other teams. Ergo: Jabari Parker. I also like Parker's attitude a bit more than Wiggins'. With Knight, Parker, and Giannis, we might be able to lure a good veteran free agent — if not this year, maybe next — and people might have to fear the deer again.
This is my first ever post. Take it easy on me.
yeah I hated the way Jordan an Pippen were so similar in style of play, that was annoying- no one ever
and not sure what you mean about Wiggins attitude problems. Do you mean his passiveness?
Hey Justin,
Thanks for the reply.
I see Giannis and Wiggins as super-skinny slashers. Parker is a meatier guy who can play with his back to the basket, as well as a guy who can hit outside shots. So I think Parker brings a different skillset to the table and the other team has to be able to guard both. I'm with you on this though: if Giannis and Wiggins turn out to be Jordan and Pippen, that would be ok with me!
As far as the attitude, yes, I was referring to the passiveness. But also Parker seems to be more of a vocal leader, which I think we could use. We need some attitude! (BTW, I'm not talking about messing up your thumb in bar fights.) Kevin Durant is a quiet guy and a good leader. If I thought Wiggins was going to be Durant, of course that would be fine. But the next Durant doesn't come around very often.
Other users' comments about Exum are pretty intriguing too. My biggest fear remains that we don't get a new arena and the Bucks move. That clause about selling the team back to the league in two years makes me nervous. Who knows what the league will be thinking then, especially if the Bucks have two more years of tepid support? And Mallory is — allegedly — a Knicks fan, so I still have a lingering doubt about the commitment to Milwaukee. That's why I'm feeling risk averse and leaning towards someone who can bring wins and excitement right away. Embiid and Exum are riskier. Even though I'm arguing for Parker, I think Wiggins would bring excitement, and if that puts rear ends in the seats and helps get a new arena built, that's also worth considering.
You guys are all missing the boat here. Exum is the best pick for the bucks.
PG Exum
SG Knight
SF Giannis
PF Henson
C Sanders
The length and potential of this lineup is much better than any other option. This 5 could develop into a serious threat in the East Brandon Knight is not a point guard Exum is a superstar 6'6″ point guard with ability to facilitate and make players around him get better shots with the quickness to guard a Derrick Rose.
I would also be ok with Exum…I wish we could swap our #2 for Orlando's #4 and #12, but that would hinge on Orlando not taking Exum at 2. It would be great for to pick up that #12, so we get Exum at 2 and a wing scorer at 12. Someone like McDermott or Stauskas, I think that draft has the possibility to be a home run.
Why not move back one spot to the #3 if the #10 pick is included? If the 76ers want a specific player bad enough (given he's not picked #1) perhaps they're willing to deal the #3 & #10 for the #2 in order to get their guy.
If Embiid is off the board with the first pick, then I would love for the Bucks to move back one spot and grab the #10! Not sure if Philly would do it or not?
Did not get my Bench in there
PG Wolters
SG Mayo
SF Middleton
PF Patric Young Florida 2nd Rd Pick
C Isaih Austin Baylor 2nd Rd Pick
Deandre Daniels Uconn 2nd Rd Pick or Russ Smith Louisville
Bucks would be fun to watch
I would be very satisfied with Patric Young as a second rounder. I think he has the potential to be a dominant defensive force if given a chance.
I am back… I was fearing getting the fourth pick and the Lakers getting number 1… with that being said I hope we get the difference maker we need and are able to say fear the deer yet again
Imo you have to take wiggins if he is there. Parker projects to be a great scorer but a bad defender. Wiggins WILL be a great defender with his athleticism and hustle and has the potential to be a great scorer as well. If wiggins is gone I think exum would be the next best fit for the team IF he is what people say he is I like most people have not watched any of his games. I worry about Embiid's health and he doesnt fit on our roster we have a ton of big guys. So, Wiggins if he is available and exum if not
Haven't posted on here in a while
Can I ask would it be too farfetched to believe that the bucks trade 1 or 2 of their 2nd round picks + ilyasova to get back into the first round? I've been saying for a while that a team such as Houston (just a suggestion) could really use some spacing with a valuable big man like ilyasova to give dwight more freedom and try to put them over the top
Also Wiggins or bust in my opinion
My buddy and I have been all in on trying to package the second rounders and Ersan to get a second first rounder! I was thinking Chicago at #16 or #19 if they lose out on Love…they need a stretch to play with Rose and Noah.
Also, I am all in on Embiid…I think he is going to be the best prospect from the last few drafts. Move Sanders to 4, since we are stuck with him, and Giannis at 3…sick length and athleticism. Knight at 1 and Mayo (hopefully gets back to Dallas shape and play) at 2. Decent bench with Middleton, Henson, Wolters, Wright, and another wing with that Bulls pick!
The problem with that and all these other hypothetical embiid situation is that sanders henson and embiid cant shoot. along with giannis( a below average 3 pt shooter) we cant space the floor. 2 of the three bigs mentioned above cannot be on the floor together at once there is just absolutely not enough spacing
I think Sanders true position and most productive position could be the 4. He has shown, albeit much to our dismay, a love for mid-range jumpers. If he continued his progression in that area, then he would space out the opposing D enough that Embiid could do work and Knight could still drive. Giannis will get better from deep and you hopefully get another shooter to compliment with that second first rounder.
Also, according to reports on recent workout…Embiid is automatic from 15-18ft. He is good face-up, back to the basket (hook is good with both hand), mid-range, and dip shoulder steps toward the hoop.
Im 100% behind Wiggins, Giannis/wiggins
Sg/sf defence and athletsim along with sanders…. Take right way build through draft dont trade the talent let them develope
thats my ideal scenario as well
I have gone around and around on this "Scenario" so many times!
It would be at "Best" if the Sixers would trade up to number 2 and give us the 3rd and 10th, But will Never happen. If it did then you get Doug MacDermet (spelled wrong) at 10. At 3 My order to have of the top four picks: Would hope that Parker is there, then Wiggins then Exum then Embiid. Parker would be a great fit and knows Wojo of Marquette. Wiggins has all the Talent but has real small frame. 6-8 200lbs. Try going to the hoop and catching an elbow from Lebron, I don't know? Emiid reminds me of Andrew Bogut Great whens he's not hurt all the time. Exum I don't know much about, But the Lakers love him so he must have potential. That's how my order goes. I could care less about the rest of our Roster on who stays and who goes.
all the time i used to read smaller articles which also clear
their motive, and that is also happening with this paragraph which
I am reading here.
Here is my web page; advice (Jermaine)
I take Wiggins all day we need a 2guard bad pair him with giannis get on on the treadmill and get him serious and draft thanasis with second round best wings in 2 years and would build instant chemistry for a team that needs it and add the right coach we talk in rings baby in 4 to 5 years if we keep bigs
I mean oj on the treadmill

Obama, Biden, Kerry, Hagel Together

On January 24, 2007 four members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee appeared together at a committee markup of a resolution stating that further military involvement in Iraq was not in the national interest. These four senators Obama, Biden, Kerry, and Hagel could soon be the top foreign policy leaders for our nation if Kerry and Hagel are confirmed to cabinet positions.

Wonder what the real reason is for declaring an overall inferior phone better?
And despite many stocks going down today, Apple is up a few points. I find it funny how much people just follow the news like sheep.
Brian White? Come ooon! Why isn't he required to disclose how many APPL shares he owns or have suggested to clients?
His words are meaningless...
How much is Apple paying or how much is he invested in Apple with other people's money for him to say this?
"Despite confessing that the S4 has a pixel density of 441 per inch (which is superior to the screen resolution of the iPhone 5's display), White says the S4 is "heavier" and "fatter" than the iPhone 5."
"He also derides the S4's plastic casing, saying it's "no match" for the iPhone 5's aluminum unibody enclosure."
Seriously?? This is his excuse for Apple being more superior? Never mind just about every other criteria the S4 is better, he picks these two as the weak points that makes Apple better overall? Whomever have him to handle their stock need to switch quick!!!
If it had an Apple logo and an iOS 7 update that Ape'd BlinkFeed, it would sell like hot cakes!
Oh and these APPL share holding "analysts" would be wetting themselves. Sayin...
Inferior phone what with a quad 1.9. It' won't be to long before its as fast as a mac book pro never mind a iPhone 5s or even the iPhone 6
"While the S4 is likely to be the iPhone's biggest competitor this year at the high-end of the market"
the above statement is somewhat funny here. iPhone 5 can only compete with S3, NOT S4. wake up wake up!
can it be jailbroke? just kidden, some one give me a s4 and ill test it for them
If you compare hardware from one to another, there's always debatable difference. I don't buy a phone based on the hardware alone. I buy them with user experience in mind, the software, the integration with other products and accessories, the eco-system, the reliability, the ease of tech support, the customer service. I don't buy it to show off the hardware, I buy it to enjoy it on a daily base. I buy it for the fun factor. Service and user experience are always going to be the key factor in any gadgets.
This is like comparing BMW to Mercedes. They both make damn fine cars. Why do we feel compelled to declare one better than the other? It's simply a matter of preference, and I wish people would quit trying to make it more than that.
Samsung really did something with the IIIs, it's a marvel no doubt. But they simply got lucky. But after looking at a number of Samsung devices, there is an inherent cheapness- it's like having a fast PC with all the side panels removed, the performance is there, but it looks like poop. The IIIs look good but they come apart way too easily. I wouldn't mind having one though.
Why not a single **** was given on the launch of Samsung Galaxy SIV and why it will still sell 27.4 millions in 1 quarter Sleepy Muses: A Lazy analysis on why not a single **** was given on the launch of Samsung Galaxy SIV and Why it will still sell 27.4millions in 1 quarter.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures finished higher Monday to score gains for a third session in a row, with some economic data pointing to better prospects for demand. But prices only saw a slight gain as U.S. political wrangling on the fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax hikes wore on. January crude oil CLF3, +0.00% rose 18 cents, or 0.2%, to settle at $89.09 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after gaining 2.8% in the past two sessions. Prices on Monday touched an intraday high above $90. There was no "end in sight" Monday with the fiscal cliff looming over the U.S. by the end of this year, said Bob van der Valk, an independent petroleum industry analyst based in Terry, Mont. He expects crude-oil prices to go below $70 a barrel by April 1, 2013, "with the eventual outfall of the talks ending up with the additional taxes being levied on corporations and high-income individuals."

NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) today received a 2013 Excellence Award in Corporate Philanthropy from The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP). The CECP President's Award recognizes Mosaic's success in helping smallhold farmers in Guatemala, India and eight African countries break the cycle of insufficient crop yields and poverty through The Mosaic Villages Project.
President and CEO of The Mosaic Company, Jim Prokopanko, accepted the award today at The Annual Excellence Awards ceremony at The McGraw-Hill Companies in New York City. IBM also accepted The CECP Chairman's Excellence Award in Corporate Philanthropy for their IBM Smarter Cities Challenge. CECP recognizes these companies' commitments to the communities around them and for exemplifying the Award's four rigorous Standards of Excellence: CEO leadership, partnership, dedication to measurement, and innovation.
"The independent jury that selected these two Excellence Award winners was deeply impressed by the widespread impact the corporations have had through the success of their programs," said Daryl Brewster, CEO of CECP. "We congratulate the winners for applying their core business strategies to addressing some of the world's most pressing problems—and positively impacting individuals, families and cities around the world through corporate societal engagement."
In partnership with non-governmental organizations, The Mosaic Villages Project works to bridge the gap between food security and water scarcity. Participating farmers are granted no-interest loans to buy crop nutrients and receive agronomic education, including the 4Rs (right time, right place, right source and right rate) of nutrient application. Farmers then repay their loan through the sale of surplus crop yields at harvest. On average, farmers participating in The Mosaic Villages Project have seen crop production increase three to five times over traditional farming practices.
Additionally, Mosaic works with its implementing partners to address unique cultural and community development needs, including:
- Supporting HELPS International install water filters and energy efficient stoves in Guatemalan villages to improve the health and well-being of farmers and their families; Mosaic also provided technical, science-based work to develop a Mayan heirloom seed bank with HELPS.
- Partnering with The Institute of Rural Research and Development (IRRAD) to build aquifer-recharging check dams in India that support both community drinking water and irrigation needs for farmers and their families.
- Working with Millennium Promise to bag and transport more than 2,600 tonnes of fertilizer each year to African smallhold farmers in remote, water-stressed regions; existing supply channels are fragmented and do not fulfill farmers' needs.
"As a global leader in crop nutrition, Mosaic sits at the nexus of two of the world's most pressing problems—food security and water scarcity," Prokopanko said. "In order to fulfill our mission of helping the world grow the food it needs, Mosaic has a responsibility to bring its financial resources, innovative spirit and expertise to the table through strategic partnerships with effective organizations."

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation.
