Schools close, but few problems on roads
County residents and business owners could be seen digging out their vehicles, shoveling sidewalks and plowing roads Friday after large amounts of snow fell overnight.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Jim Maczko said five inches were recorded in Ionia County, and residents reported snowfall between three to eight inches.
Although road conditions deteriorated, Ionia County Central Dispatch Director Jim Valentine said it was a quiet night and morning.
"It was relatively slow," said Valentine. "We expected more issues."
He said additional dispatchers were at the station to assist with a high volume of calls if needed, but they were not overwhelmed by vehicle slide-offs or crashes.
"People actually heeded the warnings and stayed inside," Valentine said.
On state highways, members of the Ionia County Road Commission were working hard to keep the lanes salted and clear before and throughout the snowfall. ICRC Superintendent Scott Peterson said the workers spread salt on highways, use a 50-50 mixture of salt and sand on blacktop and place sand on gravel roads to increase motorists' safety.
Peterson added all plowing and salting went smoothly throughout the early morning hours, and as the sun came out, it helped increase the melting process.
Schools began closing and canceling events Thursday evening, and by Friday every student in the county was able to celebrate a snow day. Many sporting and local events, however, still continued as normal Friday evening.

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians books are great fun and wonderfully told stories, but the movie adaptations just can't seem to hold their own in comparison. Sea of Monsters manages to do a better job than the first in the franchise, The Lightning Thief, but still doesn't quite reach success.
The movie opens with a fairly exciting obstacle course, a giant mechanical bull on a rampage, and a taxi that appears out of smoke and can split itself in half. In fact, the visuals throughout proves to be one of the better aspects of the movie. The story of how Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades destroy Kronos is told through an animation that looks like stained glass and is particularly striking, even if it does slightly resemble the telling of the Peverell brothers' story in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. But visuals can only take the movie so far if everything else needs work.
The actors aren't wholly to blame for the underwhelming nature of the movie. Many of them have done well in other movies and TV. Logan Lerman (Percy) was excellent in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Jake Abel (Luke) had a great story arc on Supernatural. And Anthony Head has done everything from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Little Britain, and has even spent some time doing theater work. But they had to work with the script, and that was what caused a lot of the film's problems. There were a few humorous one-liners, but for the most part the script was cheesy and forced. There were even a couple of times when I actually cringed. And yes, it is a story about teenagers who are half human and half Greek god, but the books were never cringe-worthy. That fault lies with screenwriter Marc Guggenheim (who also wrote Green Lantern, which didn't turn out so well either).
The movie felt very rushed. Rather than telling a story that flowed from one scene to the next, things were a bit choppy. The different stages of the teen demigods' journey seemed like they were cut together without proper transitions, as if they had to move on to the next scene as quickly as possible, even if that meant giving only the basics of the story. The camp is attacked, and then suddently they're in D.C.. After that, Grover is kidnapped. Oh look, now they're on a boat. Then, they're suddenly on a different boat in the stomach of Charybdis. No, wait a minute, look out for the cyclops! Never mind, it's not that big of a deal. Kronos is though, for about a second. Okay, they're back at camp and everything is right in the world. The method left the characters looking rather two-dimensional (a fact that was not improved by seeing the movie in 3D).
The only characters that had any sort of depth were Mr. D (Stanley Tucci) and Hermes (Nathan Fillion), and that had more to do with their performances (however small) than with the script. Tucci had the theater laughing every time he was onscreen, particularly at his inability to remember anyone's names (and that fact that he really didn't care to). Fillion also kept the laughs coming, and Firefly fans in particular will appreciate his line about the best TV show ever being canceled, even if the comparison was unintentional.
The movie feels less like an adaptation and more like director Thor Freudenthal read a summary of the book and adapted that instead. But, as I said, it is a better adaptation than The Lightning Thief, and maybe things will improve even more if The Titan's Curse is adapted.
If you can get past the cheesy script, Sea of Monsters isn't all bad, just a bit shallow. The depth that Riordan brings to the book doesn't exist in the movie, and that's it's downfall. It goes from potentially being one of the better YA adaptations out right now to just another summer movie that fell short. But it does have its moments, and if you're looking for an entertaining and slightly laughable way to spend your time, there are worse things you could be doing.

NEW YORK (AP) — A suspect was arrested Wednesday in the death of a man who was pushed onto the tracks and photographed just before a train struck him.
Naeem Davis, 30, was taken into custody for questioning Tuesday after security video showed a man fitting the suspect's description working with street vendors near Rockefeller Center. Police said Davis made statements implicating himself in Ki-Suck Han's death.
Davis was arrested on a second-degree murder charge. He was in custody, and it wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
Witnesses told investigators they saw a man talking to himself Monday afternoon before he approached the 58-year-old Han of Queens at the Times Square station, got into an altercation with him and pushed him into the train's path.
The New York Post published a photo on its front page Tuesday of Han with his head turned toward the train, his arms reaching up but unable to climb off the tracks in time. It was shot by freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi, who was waiting to catch a train.
Abbasi told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that he was trying to alert the motorman to what was going on by flashing his camera.
He said he was shocked that people nearer to the victim didn't try to help in the 22 seconds before the train struck.
"It took me a second to figure out what was happening ... I saw the lights in the distance. My mind was to alert the train," Abbasi said.
"The people who were standing close to him ... they could have moved and grabbed him and pulled him up. No one made an effort," he added.
Trains generally arrive at the stations going 25 mph, but it's not clear how fast the train was going when it struck Han. The waiting area is a narrower than other subway stations, but the platform is still about a dozen feet wide.
In a written account Abbasi gave the Post, he said a crowd took videos and snapped photos on their cellphones after Han was pulled, limp, onto the platform. He said he shoved them back as a doctor and another man tried to resuscitate the victim, but it was no use. The man died in front of Abbasi's eyes.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday that it appeared the suspect in Han's death had "a psychiatric problem."
The mayor said Han, "if I understand it, tried to break up a fight or something and paid for it with his life."

TEMPE, ARIZ. -- The Duke men's golf team, ranked seventh in the Golf World / Nike Golf Coaches Poll, finished tied for seventh with a 10-over 850 at the NCAA Tempe Regional. Adam Sumrall led the Blue Devils with a one-under 69 as the team shot a 10-over 292 Saturday.
"The initial sting of not advancing doesn't feel good," said head coach Jamie Green. "Anybody who competes in athletics, at one point or another, feels this. I hate to have our guys feel the way that they do right now when they have had such a good year and played so many good rounds of golf. We just didn't play as well as we could play today and other teams did just that."
UCLA claimed the regional victory after firing a 30-under 810. The Bruins led wire-to-wire in recording a 17-shot victory. Central Florida (-13, 827), Georgia (-13, 827), Texas A&M (-11, 829) and host Arizona State (-8, 832) also advanced to the 2013 NCAA Championship by virtue of top 5 finishes. Austin Peay's Dustin Korte moves on to the NCAA Championship as the top individual finisher not on a previously advancing team. He posted a six-under 204 to finish eighth overall.
Greg Eason (Central Florida) claimed medalist honors with a 12-under 198, four shots better than Jonathan Garrick (UCLA) and Ricardo Gouveia (Central Florida) at eight-under. Four players were tied for fourth at seven-under, while senior Brinson Paolini finished tied for 13th with a three-under 207 for the Blue Devils.
Sumrall, a senior from South Bend, Ind., fired a one-under 69 Saturday. He parred the first six holes before moving to one-under with a birdie on the par 3 seventh hole. Following six more pars, Sumrall birdied No. 14 (par 5) to move to two-under on the day. He suffered a bogey on the final hole to close with a 69 (-1). Sumrall concluded the Tempe Regional tied for 20th with a one-under 209.
Paolini wrapped up his record setting career with a two-over 72 to finish tied for 13th with a three-under 207. The Virginia Beach, Va., native played the opening nine holes at two-under with three birdies, five pars and a bogey. After slipping back to even-par with bogeys on No. 10 and No. 11, Paolini added a birdie on the par 5 14th hole. He slipped back to even-par with a bogey on No. 16 and suffered a double-bogey on No. 18 to end the day.
Freshman Mads Soegaard posted a four-over 74 in the third round to tie for 41st at five-over. He began the final round with 13 straight pars before registering a birdie on the par 5 14th hole. The Denmark native struggled down the stretch with a bogey and two double-bogeys over the final four holes of play.
Junior Austin Cody finished with a seven-over 77 while battling flu-like symptoms. The North Charleston, S.C., native had two birdies and an eagle on the par 4 eighth hole but also suffered three double-bogeys on the day. Cody finished the tournament tied for 63rd with a 13-over 223.
Julian Suri, a senior from St. Augustine, Fla., finished tied for 63rd with a 13-over 223 after posting an 81 Saturday.
Duke's 2012-13 season comes to a close with a tie for seventh finish in regional play.
"I want to applaud and thank our senior class [Tim Gornik, Brinson Paolini, Adam Sumrall & Julian Suri]," added Green. "What they have meant to Duke golf, Duke athletics and Duke University is immeasurable. They have done so many great things and represented the team and the university in the highest possible light in the classroom and on the golf course. They contributed to record setting performances as a group; and individually I know Brinson and Julian are going to have their names etched in a lot of record books. We are eternally grateful to those guys and we know they have fantastic careers ahead of them."
*** Duke finished the year with a school-record 18 rounds of even-par or better golf ... the Blue Devils had 15 under-par rounds the second-most in school history.
*** The Blue Devils set a school record with five tournament victories this season ... all five wins came in the Carolinas, including four wins in the state of North Carolina.
*** Paolini concluded his Duke career second in the Duke record books in stroke average (72.17), rounds in the 60s (28), under-par rounds (48) and even-par or better rounds (69) ... he is also tied for second with 28 career top 20 finishes.
*** Paolini finished the season with 11 top 20 finishes in all 11 events this season ... has also led the Blue Devils with four top 5 finishes and six top 10s ... Paolini's 11 top 20 finishes in 2012-13 are tied for second-most in Duke history.
*** Paolini's 71.48 stroke average in 2012-13 was the second-best single-season stroke average in Duke history.
*** Sumrall recorded his 11 under-par round and his seventh top 20 finish ... he posted under-par rounds in eight of the last 10 rounds played.
*** Suri ended his career among the Duke all-time leaders in stroke average, rounds in the 60s, under-par rounds, even-par or better rounds, top 5 finishes, top 10 finishes, top 20 finishes, rounds played and tournaments.

Rocky Mountain National Park rescuers searching the backcountry area near Bear Lake for missing Texan Troy Green are scaling back their efforts Monday in light of avalanche conditions.
On Sunday, searchers, dogs and helicopters combed the area, which was in use by park skiiers and snowshoers, the park said in a news release. Ground search teams found deep snow, and aerial searchers noted large slab avalanches on the northeast side of peaks.
The investigation into Green's disappearance is ongoing, with rangers evaluating new information and focusing on terrain in the Bear Lake and lower Tyndall Gorge areas.
Green, of San Antonio, disappeared after coming to Colorado for a conference. His wife called the Denver Police Department when he failed to contact her Thursday.
Two people told Rocky Mountain National Park rangers that they spoke with Troy Green at 1 p.m. Thursday, but they didn't see what direction he went.
Park rangers on Friday located a car that matched the description of Green's rental car at the Bear Lake parking lot.
An investigation by rangers coupled with reports from witnesses determined that Green purchased hiking gear after arriving in Colorado.
Anyone who visited the Bear Lake area of Rocky Mountain National Park on Jan. 31 or Feb. 1 is asked to call park rangers at 970-586-1204

Ryan Lochte won the gold medal in the men's 400-meter individual medley Saturday, beating Michael Phelps and the rest of a talented field at the London 2012 Olympics.
Lochte finished with a time of 4:05.18, beating Brazil's Thiago Pereira (4:08.86) and Japan's Kosuke Hagino (4:08.94). Phelps was fourth, at 4:09.28. Lochte sprang to an early lead in the butterfly, and solidified it with his backstroke.
The victory wasn't a surprise to Lochte, who said that he knew he was in good shape coming into the London Games. Still, the win seemed to take a while to sink in.
"I think I'm kind of in shock right now," he said after the race. But he soon seemed to be completely recovered — and showing the personality he's known for. According to the AP:
"About a half-hour after the race, the laid-back Floridian returned to the medal podium to receive the fourth gold medal of his career. Wearing diamond-studded grillz in his mouth and lime-green sneakers on the feet that powered him through the water faster than anyone else, Lochte strolled around the deck kissing his medal while Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' played over the
After accepting his medal, Lochte invited Pereira and Hagino onto the podium's top step along with him. There, the three grinned and posed for photographers, biting their medals.
During the race, Phelps swam in the pool's eighth lane, a position resulting from his unimpressive qualifying swim earlier in the day. That was a disadvantage in the race's final freestyle leg, as Phelps, who breathes to his right, could not easily keep track of the rest of the field.
But Phelps refused to blame the lane for his fourth-place finish — one of his rare Olympic events that hasn't ended with him on the podium.
"It was just a crappy race," he said. "I felt fine the first 200, then I don't know. They just swam a better race than me, a smarter race than me, and were better prepared than me. That's why they're on the medal stand."
NPR's Howard Berkes passes along this quote from Phelps: "I was trying to find a gear I couldn't find. It was a frustrating finish... but I am getting faster and I've got a bunch of other races to come. I hope to finish better than I started."
Many observers had been expecting a 1-2 American finish in this race — the only question, for many, was which of the two would win. Lochte has had a strangle-hold on the 400m individual medley since 2009, while Phelps holds the world record in the event. But in U.S. trials before the Summer Games, Lochte beat Phelps in the same race by nearly a second.
Still, neither American was the top seed coming into the race. The fastest qualifying time was turned in by Japan's Hagino, who set an Asian continental record at 4:10.01 — more than two seconds quicker than Lochte and three seconds faster than Phelps. He improved on that time in the final.
In losing the race, Phelps also lost his bid to become the first three-peat winner of the same Olympic swimming event.
"I know he gave it everything he had," Lochte said of Phelps. "I'm going to go talk to him in the dressing room."
The first full day of competition at the Olympics in London featured a hyped showdown that turned out not to be a showdown at all. And the gold medal moment was the tiniest of margin. Now, if you're planning to tune in later to watch the tape-delay drama on TV, turn away from your radio for the next three minutes because this will be a spoiler.
NPR's Howard Berkes is watching the drama in real time in London, and he joins me now. Howard, let's not bury the lead here. American swimmers, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, in their first face-to-face matchup of these games, the men's 400-meter individual medley, Lochte blew Phelps out of the water to take the gold.
HOWARD BERKES, BYLINE: It was this big loud statement that Ryan Lochte made, which is these are not the Michael Phelps Olympics. He was on a world record pace during two of those legs of that medley, and he finished more than three seconds ahead of the closest swimmer. He really smoked that field and left behind in his spray was Michael Phelps who not only didn't win a medal but struggled to finish fourth.
RAZ: So Lochte gets the first gold medal for the U.S. in the Olympics. Phelps would seem to start with a pretty big blow to his confidence. What did he say after the race?
BERKES: He summed it up this way: It was just a crappy race. He was trying to find a gear that he couldn't find, he said. And, you know, this morning, Phelps barely made it into the final. He finished last in the preliminary heat, and he was forced to swim on an outside lane. That's probably something he hasn't done in a long time. That's where the slowest swimmers swim.
And it's also where you can see the rest of the field as you're going along. And what that did was give him a great view of Ryan Lochte swimming off into the distance.
RAZ: This really is Lochte's moment. I mean, he has been in Michael Phelps' shadow now for many years. Is he swimming out of that shadow?
BERKES: This is the Olympics in which, I think, he's hoping to do that. Of course, Michael Phelps still has opportunities to win medals and to become the athlete who has won the most medals ever in an Olympics. But it's really no surprise what happened tonight. Lochte has done well in the individual medley in the past. He has the fastest time this year. He beat Phelps at it at the U.S. Olympic trials before the games. So, you know, that's not a surprise. But, you know, second question from reporters after the race for Lochte was about Michael Phelps.
RAZ: Howard, anything else you've been watching there in London today that got you excited?
BERKES: My favorite moment of the day came in archery of all things and the very last section of the archery competition, which featured the U.S. team and the team from Italy. The U.S. had a nine-point lead, and so the Italian archer had to get his arrow in a tiny circle, the 10-point circle. And he pulls back the arrow, he pulls back the bow, and he's got his eyes trained on that target. And the arrow flies off and hits right on the line just inside the 10-point circle. Just by a hair, they won that gold medal, the Italian team. The Americans finished with a silver. It was an amazing moment.
RAZ: Wow. That's NPR's Howard Berkes reporting for us from London, of course, on the Olympics there. Howard, thanks.
BERKES: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Bobcats probably don't have a chance against a loaded Clippers team on most nights, and that was the case last night as they got run out of the gym. Gerald Henderson stepped up with 24 points on 12-of-19 shooting with three assists and three steals, while Byron Mullens snapped his shooting slump with a solid 13 points on 6-of-13 shooting, eight rebounds and one triple to go with an ugly five turnovers. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist fell of the face of the planet with just one rebound, two assists and a block to go with two missed field goals in 22 minutes. His hustle numbers are the allure here, and he's still worth stashing but should remain on benches until he can put some distance between this goose egg.
There won't be a whole lot to glean from last night's Clippers box, so I'll take this time to point out their 3-2-3-4-3-3-2 schedule the rest of the way out and we'll call it a wrap for the most part. Jamal Crawford did not play due to the birth of his child, and Eric Bledsoe was a late scratch with a left calf ailment. The lowly Cats were a good spot to give him some time off but he'll be questionable for Thursday's game nonetheless.
The absences allowed Matt Barnes (17 points, seven assists, four steals, three treys, one block, 34 minutes) to stretch his legs, and Caron Butler (16 points, seven boards, four threes) made another appearance on the radar – but both will return to their normal values when everybody returns. DeAndre Jordan hit all six of his field goals to finish with 13 points, four rebounds, four blocks, and a 1-of-6 mark from the stripe. With the bad schedule, he's not a must-own player and owners should look to deal their Clipper assets before opposing owners realize their games played situation isn't all that great.
The Kings showed that when focused and the right guys are on the court that they can give any team a run for their money, as they walked into South Beach and took the Heat to two overtimes before finally losing. Of course, the key to anything good we've seen out of the Kings lately has been the relative turning over of the keys to Isaiah Thomas. Thomas didn't have his greatest game even if he handed out a season-high nine assists to go with 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting, two threes, two boards and a steal in 48 minutes. It's just the plain fact that his basketball IQ is twice that of just about everybody on his team, and defensively he doesn't get beat off the dribble much, if at all, and he never gets posted up. A real basketball organization gives him the keys late last season.
Of course, Keith Smart said that he's going to try to get Toney Douglas time in the rotation, and let's just say there is nothing that Smart could do that would surprise anybody. Still, IT2 should be in all lineups until further notice.
On the top-10 list of Smart's killer decisions this season has been to crush the spirit of Marcus Thornton, who went ham to the tune of a season-high 36 points on 11-of-18 shooting (8-of-12 from deep, 6-of-8 from the line). He added three assists, one steal and a block for good measure in his 40 minutes off the bench, and seriously folks, he could be benched tomorrow for Aaron Brooks (nine minutes, 0-for-4 FGs), Jimmer Fredette (DNP) or Douglas (DNP).
John Salmons scored 15 points with five rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two blocks in 50 minutes, and had a nice block on LeBron to force an overtime, but man is he a square peg in a round hole for this team. It makes no sense to give him heavy run on a rebuilding squad, and for his recent solid numbers he's still a mess on both sides of the floor, but Smart likes him a lot and he's worth a look with the hopes Isaiah's influence can smooth out his rough edges.
Tyreke Evans (26 points, four rebounds, four assists, five steals) and DeMarcus Cousins (24 points, 15 boards, five assists, two steals) both beasted in this game, while still providing their trademark blend of bad decisions and bull in a china shop offense. Patrick Patterson logged 10 uneventful minutes, while Jason Thompson (eight points, six boards, 3-of-10 FGs, four turnovers, 26 minutes) had his minutes messed with just enough to mess with his head. His teammates want him on the floor, but it's a messy situation that owners shouldn't be attached to.
Anytime the Heat go into overtime, let alone double-overtime, fantasy owners are going to reap some massive benefits. LeBron James had his best night of the year with a season-high 40 points, a career-high 16 assists, eight rebounds, two steals, one block, one three, and an 11-of-12 mark from the foul line.
Of course, when a team scores 141 points there are going to be some great lines. Ray Allen scored 21 points with five threes, four rebounds, and three assists in 41 minutes, Chris Bosh went for 15 and eight with three steals and four blocks, and Dwyane Wade scored a season-high 39 points on 19-of-28 shooting with eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, two blocks, and one three. It's the beauty of a team with just 3-4 main producers on any given night.
TOR @ CLE: Will the wing attack continue for the Raptors at the expense of balance and rebounding? That's the only real question I have, and Jonas Valanciunas hopefuls should hope that Dwane Casey seeks some balance there. We'll bring you the Kyrie Irving update as soon as we get it.
DET @ WAS: Brandon Knight (knee) participated in full contact practice yesterday and is questionable for tonight, while Will Bynum will return from his one-game suspension. Sooner rather than later, it appears we'll be looking at a crowded backcourt once again. Andre Drummond (back) didn't have any change in his timetable, and that means he's looking at a return in mid-March to the beginning of April. I think he's stashable, and you'll probably want to make your move on him by the end of this week if we're using current information as a guide. Nene (shoulder) couldn't lift his arm over his head after Monday's game but he's expected to play tonight. He's the heart and soul of the Wizards team nowadays, so he's going to gut things out, but he'll probably mosey his way into being a shutdown candidate by the end of the year if I was forced to guess.
SAC @ ORL: I wouldn't be surprised to see a big letdown out of the Kings, but maybe they can keep some momentum going after their solid game. That, or Keith Smart will play 17 guys. Jameer Nelson is the big update here on the Magic side.
NO @ OKC: Anthony Davis' update will be telling, as the Hornets go to OKC to face one of the league's most predictable fantasy units.
DAL @ MEM: The Grizzlies will get an aging Mavs team on the tail-end of a back-to-back, so Memphis owners may want to give a tiny upgrade to those assets.
GSW @ NYK: Amare Stoudemire is moving up to a 30-minute cap and I'd expect a small bump in his value. Plan accordingly.
MIL @ HOU: Donatas Motiejunas is getting a start at power forward and that at least answers one question regarding which Rockets player on the team prior to the deadline would get first crack. The other candidate was Terrence Jones, who if you believed whispers from Hoopsworld was one of the reasons that they moved Marcus Morris. It makes sense that Thomas Robinson will be worked in as he learns the system with the Rockets also in a playoff chase, but he has every opportunity to show he was worth the No. 5 overall pick. Believe me, you couldn't conjure a worse situation than a Keith Smart-Maloof-Petrie special for him (or anybody), so moving to sanity should come with an appropriate bump. The only wild cards there are that he is more bust than bang, and then that he has too many bad habits to make a fantasy impact. Motie is an Andrea Bargnani-like player that is intriguing, but I'm going to keep T-Rob on top of that list and keep my finger on the trigger for Motie in case he jumps out fast. T-Rob debuts tonight, but expectations should be held in check in his first game.
PHO @ SA: Tony Parker (triceps) practiced yesterday and is "good to play" unless Pop pulls a fast one. Gary Neal (hamstring) did not practice and is questionable, as well. If there was a spot to rest guys, a home game against the Suns, who played last night, is a real good spot.
ATL @ UTA: Paul Millsap's ankle kept him out of practice yesterday and he's questionable for tonight as of this morning. Bill Oram wrote that Mo Williams remains "weeks out" from playing in a game, and I don't think owners can consider a stash until there is more solid footing, even with the Jazz lacking point guard play right now. The Hawks are all systems go for fantasy right now and Zaza Pachulia's (Achilles) potential absence is some icing on that cake.
DEN @ POR: Danilo Gallinari (thigh) is heading toward a game-time call tonight and Wilson Chandler will get another chance to shine if Gallo can't go. Wesley Matthews (ankle) took yesterday's practice off but is expected to play tonight. His owners have to be thrilled that he's becoming the Chuck Norris of fantasy hoops.
We're getting to that point of the year where owners need to take a hard look at schedules, so you'll notice a small focus on that as we go through last night's slate, and get you ready for a lighter Big Wednesday.
For real-time news and fantasy analysis, click here to follow me on Twitter.
E'Twaun Moore got the start for injured Jameer Nelson (knee) last night, scoring 12 points with 10 assists, a steal and three treys. Nelson's knee injury isn't believed to be serious, and his expected return will likely leave either Moore or Beno Udrih (four points, nine assists) on the outside looking in at reasonably sized formats. Still, Nelson is an injury risk playing on a team fighting for ping pong balls, so both guys have a shot at value down the stretch here. There is some merit to developing Moore if you're the Magic, but Udrih profiles well as a reliable player that Orlando could choose to lean on, especially if the offense dries up as it has many times in the past.
This team is not short on interesting position battles, as fantasy owners have been buying into Moe Harkless (10 points, four rebounds, one steal) and Tobias Harris (16 points, seven rebounds, one steal, one block, one three) and in that order for the most part. Both guys saw 30+ minutes, but that will take a cut when Nelson returns. It's too close to call right now if we're projecting who the winner will be, and one has to think that Harkless has some equity in being with the team all year, but this will come down to who earns it on any given night.
I'm holding both assets, and Andrew Nicholson (13 points, 6-of-8 FGs, two rebounds, one block, 17 minutes) also falls in that category, but I'll be watching to see if Al Harrington (12 minutes, nine points, 4-of-7 FGs, three rebounds, two assists) can continue to take steps forward. The Magic have two four game weeks prior to the last meaningful week of the year in which they have just two games, and the idea here will be to get lucky and own the 1-2 guys in this bunch that will retain low-end value with some upside.
Of course, Arron Afflalo (16 points, six rebounds, seven assists) and Nikola Vucevic (12 points, 19 rebounds, one block) will continue to make noise for the rest of the year.
The Sixers have been a disappointment this season, and it has league insiders pointing not just to the albatross that is Andrew Bynum but also at Doug Collins, who has a rep for burning his teams out. Collins used the big stick last night when he pointed out Nikola Vucevic's 19 rebounds compared to Spencer Hawes' lone board, and he also benched Nick Young (three points, 1-of-6 FGs, 14 minutes). I talked a bit about how I was hedging on Young and that I was ambivalent about my choice to pass him up in a FAAB bid a few weeks back, and this is the scenario that had me worried. He just struggles in too many phases for anybody, fantasy or otherwise, to rely on him.
Thaddeus Young came out of his return on Sunday "feeling good," and finished with eight points, 10 boards, and three steals in 34 minutes, and he's more answer than problem in Philly these days. Hawes finished with six points on 2-of-6 shooting, the aforementioned singular rebound, and one block in his 21 minutes, and when things get bad chemistry-wise he's a guy that can turn the spigot off quick. He hasn't been productive enough for use in 12-14 team standard leagues over the past three weeks, but the Sixers don't have many guys to turn to and owners needing big men should stay open to the idea of a bounce-back. Jeremy Pargo scored 14 points with three assists and two threes in 21 minutes, but we need to see more before jumping into a likely timeshare with the Swaggy one.
Stephen Curry got a little feisty when things turned sour in Indy last night, pushing with all of his might to stand up against Roy Hibbert and Co. No matter how overmatched he is in any fisticuffs, there are only a handful of players that I want going for me on any given night in a fantasy league. He caught fire with 38 points on 14-of-20 shooting (7-of-10 from deep) with two rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block. The Warriors' schedule is a major buzz-kill the rest of the way out, with three games in each meaningful week from here on out. If you have an uninformed owner in your league, it's time to make trade offers with all of your GSW guys if schedule matters. David Lee (12 points, 12 boards, four rebounds, two blocks) was in the middle of the scrum but like Curry isn't facing any sort of discipline, but his left (shooting) shoulder is so badly bruised that he may not play tonight.
Andrew Bogut (back spasms) did not play last night and while it's anybody's guess if this issue is going to linger, I think there is enough risk to go with question marks about reward for owners to jump ship. If you're holding, it's merely as a risky upside stash if you're in need at center. Carl Landry (11 points, nine boards, 3-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs, 26 minutes) has garnered some mild attention in mostly deep leagues as a result, and with any Lee absence he would be poised for a nice outing tonight.
Roy Hibbert (13 points, nine boards, five blocks) made like Pedro Martinez and threw Stephen Curry to the ground like Don Zimmer in an over-glorified pushing match. He said after the game that he expects to be suspended, and we'd tend to agree so Ian Mahinmi becomes worth a look as a spot play on Thursday.
David West (28 points, seven boards) is another guy that will get a hard look from the league for his role in the altercation, as it looks like he threw a push-punch (or mash if you will), so owners needing a spot-start should keep their eye on Tyler Hansbrough. If we're counting guys that were near the action we could list Klay Thompson, David Lee, Stephen Curry, Jarrett Jack, Lance Stephenson and Paul George, but none of these guys seem likely to get anything other than a fine.
Danny Granger hit just 1-of-7 shots for five points in 19 minutes as he works his way through a minute restriction. Just keep him on your bench until he shows signs of producing.
Joe Johnson (heel) did not play and between his and Deron Williams' general wear and tear, I was moving in on C.J. Watson (10 points, two assists, two threes, 32 minutes) is some deeper 12-team formats. I actually didn't land him because I had higher ranked free agents on my list, but playing behind two guys who appear to be falling apart he has a decent chance of reaching inconsistent low-end play status with some upside if one of those guys goes down. That's really all one can ask for out of a deep league pickup.
Williams has a real nice night with 33 points on 10-of-21 shooting (4-of-8 3PTs, 9-of-10 FTs) and eight assists, and you gotta know he loves playing without Johnson crowding the floor. He had his hand stepped on and briefly left the game, which is par for the course this year, but he is probable to play on Friday against the Mavs. Brook Lopez will always enjoy the view when either of the two backcourt starters are out, as he put up 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting with seven boards, five assists, one steal and four blocks. His top 25-40 value on a per-game basis is a common component of winning fantasy squads this season.
If it's not one thing it's another with Anthony Davis, as he left last night's game during the third quarter with a left shoulder injury and did not return. And just like his knee injury last week, the Hornets said he could have returned to the game, but that they didn't bring him back in a close contest last night is just the most recent unibrow-raising situation involving Davis and injury. He's questionable for tonight's game, and if he doesn't go then look for Robin Lopez (14 points, seven rebounds, one steal, two blocks) to reprise his role sitting on the high end of the duo's see-saw. If Davis doesn't go and you're feeling lucky in a much deeper format, then Jason Smith (eight points, three boards, one block, 17 minutes) is a dice-roll for having a serviceable night.
Eric Gordon hit just 4-of-15 shots for 10 points with six assists and not much else in his 29 minutes, and he'll hand over another DNP tonight as he sits out the back-end of the back-to-back. I can't believe there were people actually in support of his contact.
Kyrie Irving succumbed to the knee injury that had dogged him in Sunday's game, missing last night's game and being set at 'questionable' for tonight. Byron Scott came out and said the injury wasn't serious, but I laugh (or cry) at a few jokes on Twitter about the Cavs' track record with underestimating/reporting Anderson Varejao's injuries. I'll just keep that in the back of my head while giving Scott the benefit of the doubt here, as we haven't seen a decipherable pattern being shown by him or the Cavs.
This left Dion Waiters free to continue his encouraging surge, as the rookie put up 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting with two rebounds, zero assists, one steal, one block and one three in 36 minutes. Some more assists would be nice, and it's pretty amazing that the Cavs took down the Bulls with just 18 assists as a team. Shaun Livingston drew the start for Irving and had a nice game, but true to form it didn't hit the box score that hard as he managed just 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting with two assists, one steal and one block in his 33 minutes. That's his ceiling, and for that reason he's just a spot-start option in deep formats if Irving can't go tonight.
Wayne Ellington led the bench with 13 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two threes in 27 minutes, but it's still time to wait and see in most formats. Luke Walton posted eight points, five boards, five assists and a steal in his 24 minutes, and he's in the same boat with much more risk. Marreese Speights (eight points, five boards, one block, 17 minutes) finally got the goodbye from me this past week in a deeper 12-team format, as it looks like he won't be able to float to the top of a thin Cavs roster.
Derrick Rose (knee) is showing "daily improvement" according to Tom Thibodeau, which is code for 'kick rocks' if you're a reporter asking questions. I have him stashed in one deeper 12-team league, and I promised myself to give real consideration to dropping him at this week's Sunday FAAB deadline if news didn't get clearer. Kirk Hinrich returned to action and had a real nice night with 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, three treys, six boards, 11 assists, one steal and one block. Nate Robinson (five points, two assists, 15 minutes) was banished to the bench and that's likely the way Thibs likes it, but it's anybody's guess if Hinrich can keep up his end of the bargain.
We've seen bursts like this out of Hinrich only to be followed by hollowed out submissions to the box score, so owners should consider an add at their own risk. Luol Deng (26 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two threes, two steals) and Carlos Boozer (27 points, 13-of-20 FGs, five rebounds, four assists, one block) are in line for even bigger minutes with Taj Gibson out for the next couple of weeks with a knee injury, as is Joakim Noah (nine points, nine boards, five assists, one steal, four blocks). Noah and Deng have survived this season for the most part, but one has to wonder when playing through injuries becomes a problem.
I'll be the first to admit that I might have overlooked the impact that J.J. Redick (14 points, two threes, 23 minutes) might have on Brandon Jennings, but for at least last night we saw Jim Boylan turn away from Jennings in the fourth quarter in part because Redick was around. Jennings struggled to post eight points on 3-of-11 shooting with three rebounds, six assists and no steals in his 32 minutes, and I'm not saying it's time to rule on this issue but owners should at least keep an eye on the possibility that Jennings has some rough patches.
Monta Ellis logged 44 minutes en route to 22 points on 8-of-17 shooting with nine assists and six steals, and the hope for owners of all three guys should be that Boylan runs a run-and-gun offense down the stretch. Mike Dunleavy (29 minutes, 13 points, two threes, not much else) and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (28 minutes, seven points, five boards) stand in the way of that, but they're both injury prone and Redick deserves to be owned for his 3-point shooting regardless. Samuel Dalembert was suspended for last night's game after he was late to shootaround, and I'm about zero percent surprised. He has had problems like that everywhere he has been.
Dirk Nowitzki sent a message last night that it's too early to turn the page on the future Hall of Famer's career, posting a monster 21 and 20 line in a loss to the Bucks. For that reason owners can forgive Shawn Marion for his three rebounds and otherwise serviceable 10 points, one steal and one block, and he has been relatively productive lately so a hold is certainly in order. Darren Collison has survived the doghouse and the trade deadline, providing owners with 12 points on 5-of-15 shooting (no threes), seven rebounds and eight assists. Now isn't the time to buy low, but it sure feels like he could fly under the radar with all of his perceived risk.
Elton Brand got in on the act with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting, 14 boards, one steal and three blocks in 25 minutes off the bench. While his role and minutes are a buzz-kill, especially with Chris Kaman (DNP-CD) looming if he can get his act together, he's well worth a look right now if you need a big. Vince Carter finally cooled off with just two points on free throws and eight missed field goal attempts in a disastrous night. I wouldn't overreact to one game, but he has been pretty streaky this season and that's what you get from a guy whose minutes are often limited in a bench role.
Andrei Kirilenko has been a breath of fresh air this season when on the court, but he has shown an uncanny ability to kill weekly league owners with early-week injuries. He left last night after 10 minutes of action due to a left calf strain, something he has history with in 2010, and did not return. The Wolves' playbook has been to give him a few games off if this is a run-of-the-mill injury, and that opens the window wide open for Derrick Williams (21 points, 12 boards, two threes, two steals, one block, 3-of-10 FTs) to keep doing his thing. The Wolves' schedule is as good as it comes with four games in each week for the rest of the meaningful year, and Williams is looking like a solid bet to hold standard league value with plenty of upside at least until Kevin Love returns.
Ricky Rubio kept up with the mixed bag of goodies, handing out 10 assists with four steals and five boards to go with just five points on 2-of-12 shooting and six turnovers. I don't really expect a change in the overall dynamic of his game, so owners just have to live with the uneven results. I'm pretty disappointed with Alexey Shved, who made like the puppy that lost his way, hitting just 2-of-9 shots for five points and not much else. J.J. Barea (16 points, 28 minutes) and Luke Ridnour (10 points, four boards, four assists, 29 minutes) – "society" – stand in the way of Shved's immediate production and he's not showing signs of being the late-season stash guy I thought he could be. The whole backcourt is injury prone, so keep him in the corner of your eye.
Nikola Pekovic (18 points, 12 boards, three steal, three blocks) was evaluated by the Suns' training staff after the game, and we'll update you as soon as we learn more about his status going forward.
In fairness to everybody playing in the Wolves/Suns game last night, offensive basketball was set back a few years and in the Suns' case it's nothing new. That's also what happens when Wes Johnson (6-of-16 FGs, 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, two threes) is your team's leading chucker. With just 10 points over the three games prior, owners would have to have an extremely optimistic viewpoint to consider an add in most formats. Even with Shannon Brown in the doghouse, that output left Jared Dudley (1-of-6 FGs, two points) scraping the bottom of the barrel in his 25 minutes, and he can be dropped for a hot free agent even if it's possible that he gets going again.
Markieff Morris managed to stay on the floor for 32 minutes and put up 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting (including two threes) with six rebounds and three blocks. His brother Marcus played just three minutes, and if you want to look at Morris just make sure you keep in mind that Lindsey Hunter is a mess right now. Marcin Gortat was a mild bright spot with 14 points, seven boards, two steals and three blocks, and Goran Dragic hit just 4-of-14 shots for 10 points but was otherwise serviceable with four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one three. Luis Scola had just one rebound to go with 10 points in 20 minutes and I've got him in the same boat as Dudley. Jermaine O'Neal double-doubled with 10 points, 13 boards and four blocks, and in a deeper league taking a flier on him could make some sense, obvious risks included.

After facing the No. 7 ranked team in the nation in its morning match, the Luther men's tennis team headed back to the courts later that afternoon to play another nationally ranked foe in No. 30 Earlham. This match was also played at the DeWitt Tennis Center on the campus of Hope College in Holland, Michigan. Although there were close matches at the majority of the spots, the Norse came out on the wrong end of a 7-2 score for the second time on the day.
All three doubles matches were competitive throughout, but Earlham came up with clutch play at each spot to earn a trio of one-break victories. Luther's Nick Mozena and James Ayer went down an early break and were unable to get it back, losing (8-5) to Kyle Richter and Phillip Locklear at No. 2. As that match finished, the Norse held a narrow 7-6 edge on the other two courts, but were unable to finish out either match. Samuel Cychosz and Matt Bellio lost (9-7) at No. 3 to Brad Maisey and Andrey Gavrilov and Ramesh Karki and Quinn Foley lost by an identical score to Anton Bartashevich and Jack Ventura-Cruess at No. 1.
Ayer was up to the task yet again in singles, winning another third set super tie-breaker to nail down a (3-6, 6-4, (10-7)) victory over Ventura-Cruess at No. 4. Foley was also a winner, edging Gavrilov in a first set tie-breaker before cruising to a (7-6 (5), 6-2) win at No. 6. Mozena also played a tight match at No. 2, falling (7-5, 6-3) to Locklear.

Hayley Hughes scored her first goal of the season in the eighth minute and the Buffs scored the game-winner on an own goal in the 76th minute.
On Friday, the Buffs (4-1-2) were routed by Denver, 4-1. Against Cincinnati (3-3-1), the Buffs dominated play, but had trouble finishing their chances.
CU out-shot the Bearcats 25-9, including a 16-4 advantage in shots on goal. The Buffs also had nine corner kicks to just five for Cincinnati.
Colorado dominated play in the first half, but still went into the break with a 1-1 tie.
In the first minute, Hughes had a breakaway chance, but Cincinnati keeper Kristina Utley made the stop.
Seven minutes later, Hughes found the back of the net. Using her speed, she got on another breakaway, this time putting the ball past Utley.
The Buffs kept up the pressure, posting 14 shots in the first half, nine of them on net. Anne Stuller had a pair of hard shots early in the half, but Utley was up to the task.
Cincinnati, which had just three shots on net, got the equalizer 5:37 before the half. After a corner kick, Megan Cravenor gathered a loose ball in front of the net and booted it home.
Colorado kept the pressure on throughout the game. In the 76th minute, freshman Emily Paxton got a foot on the ball, poking it toward the net.
NOTABLE: CU's Quinn Krier and Cincinnati's Laura Rose received yellow cards in the second half. ... Two of CU's three goals during the tournament were own goals. Prior to this tournament, the Buffs had just two own goals in program history (one in 2004 and one in 2009). ... This was the first-ever meeting between the Buffs and Bearcats.

A man was taken to Boulder Community Hospital on Tuesday evening with non-serious injuries after being struck by a car in the intersection of Foothills Parkway and Baseline Road as he chased after his dog, which had slipped out of its collar, police say.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the busy intersection in southeastern Boulder at about 5:40 p.m. on reports of a male pedestrian who had been hit by a car and was lying in the roadway.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was walking his dog and was waiting for the traffic light to change so that he could cross Foothills eastbound on Baseline when his dog slipped out of its collar and ran into traffic, according to police Sgt. Lauri Wegscheider.
The man chased after his dog and was struck by a car in the southbound lanes, where he lay until emergency crews arrived.
He was eventually taken to Boulder Community Hospital, but it was not considered an emergency.
The dog, a red heeler named Ernie, was struck by another car but reportedly got up and ran away, Wegscheider said. Police were not able to find the dog in the immediate area.
Ernie has a tracking microchip embedded in him, according to his owners. Wegscheider said anyone who finds him should take him to a veterinarian or the Humane Society of Boulder Valley so that he can be reunited with his owners.
The southbound lanes of Foothills were closed for more than an hour while crews responded to the call.

Wistrom, Peter Key Catalysts for 1997 Title
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
When the Big Ten Conference asked Tom Osborne to remember his last national championship season, I was fortunate enough to interview Nebraska's Hall-of-Fame coach for his account that appeared in the 2012 Big Ten Championship Game Program in Indianapolis. Osborne's thoughts on that 1997 season were published jointly with Lloyd Carr's remembrances of Michigan's '97 season. The Wolverines shared the national championship that season with the Cornhuskers – Nebraska winning the final coaches' poll and Michigan winning the final Associated Press media poll. Here are Osborne's thoughts on the 15-year anniversary of that championship season:
Wistrom, Peter Bypassed NFL for another Title
"I remember certain details of my final season as a head football coach 15 years ago, but I'm not sure that I voted Nebraska No. 1 every week of the 1997 season. I will say, however, that our 13-0 team that beat a very talented Tennessee team 42-17 in the Orange Bowl was a solid national champion.
"We had great leadership on that team, and it started with Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter. They were probably more motivated to win that national championship than anyone else. Nine months before the '97 season started, they came into my office to talk. Since both were projected to be first-round NFL draft picks, I thought they were going to tell me they had to do what was best for them and their families, but my instincts were wrong. They told me how good it felt to win national championships in '94 and '95 and how disappointed they were when we didn't win another one in '96. So they wanted to stay one more year, finish things up right and go out as champions.
"They were two driven players who took it upon themselves to create the vision for that '97 team after we had beaten Virginia Tech (41-21) a few weeks earlier in the Orange Bowl. Without their leadership and talent, I don't believe that season would have unfolded like it did. Those two really set the tone with exceptional dedication and commitment.
"We won all 13 games that season by a 29-point average margin of victory. We had two close calls on the road at Colorado and Missouri, and we beat Texas A&M 54-15 in the Big 12 Championship. We had a cohesive offensive line with Scott Frost at quarterback, Joel Makovicka at fullback and Ahman Green at running back. Ahman rushed for 206 yards against Tennessee, and Scott scored three touchdowns, allowing us to take control early. We were up 42-9 on a Tennessee team that was blessed with a lot more talent than just Peyton Manning. They had 15 players that went on to play in the NFL, including four first-round draft choices, plus a second-round pick. We had great talent, too. Grant and Jason were first-round draft choices, and 10 of our players from that team were still playing in the NFL 10 years later.
Osborne Saw a Wide-Open Opportunity for Title
"The night before the final game of my career, I mentioned how I thought the door was still cracked for us to win a national championship. In my pregame speech I went beyond that. Maybe it was the sense of history, but I remember having the team's complete attention as I went through all the mundane details. I decided to address the discouraging situation regarding the polls and told our team that I had thought a lot more about it and felt the door wasn't just a little bit open. It was wide open, and I put my hands fairly far apart to show them how wide.
"We were playing the No. 3 team in the nation, and I felt if we played a great game, there was no way this team could be denied. I firmly believed we could come out on top in at least one of the national polls. Fortunately, the coaches looked a little more at the dynamics of the final game and the entire season. In their mind, many thought how they might play both champions, and who would be the most difficult. I know several told me that we would be the team they would least like to play if given that opportunity.
"Some believe the coaches' vote might have been a sentimental one because I was retiring and the Orange Bowl completed a 60-3 record and 3-national championship run over a 5-year span for us. I would hope that was not the case as each team has to be evaluated on its own merits and sentiment should not determine anyone's vote. I was, however, appreciative that my fellow coaches felt we deserved a No. 1 ranking at season's end. I'm fairly certain that Nebraska and Michigan will still be debating this topic 25 years from now and beyond, and that's probably not a bad thing because both schools can now say that100 percent of the 1997 national championship belongs to the Big Ten Conference."

The Luther women's tennis team finished out its home dual meet schedule for the fall season with a pair of 9-0 victories. The Norse opened its match with Loras by playing singles and got rolling by winning all six matches in straight sets. The squad then followed up with a doubles sweep to finish out the match.
Sarah Christopherson got things rolling with a (6-1, 6-0) win against Amanda Sharkey at No. 6 singles. Her victory was followed by hard fought wins from Lola White-Baer and Caroline Treis at the top two singles spots. White-Baer performed well in a (6-2, 6-2) win against Elizabeth Dickhut while Treis persevered (6-3, 6-3) against Jessica Dickhut. Lauren Welch stepped up into the No. 3 slot and came away with a 6-4, 6-0 decision over Caroline Rainey. Hailey Johnson made her varsity singles debut for the fall season and was a (6-2, 6-2) winner against Carrie Crabill at No. 4. Addy Riley, playing in her first varsity match, completed the singles sweep with a decisive (6-1, 6-2) win over Est Mungai at No. 5.
White-Baer and Welch paired up for the first time at No. 1 doubles, defeating the Dickhut sisters by an (8-5) margin. Treis and Riley also partnered for the first time and came away with an (8-4) victory at No. 2, defeating Rainey and Mungai. A third new Norse tandem of Christopherson and Madisen Crow beat Crabill and Rebecca Weglarz (8-3) at No. 3 to close out the match.

As a woman in her 50s living a healthy lifestyle, Kim Waldrup of Bourg never suspected she was at risk for heart disease.
As a woman in her 50s living a healthy lifestyle, Kim Waldrup of Bourg never suspected she was at risk for heart disease.
But at age 55, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath sent her to the emergency room at Terrebonne General Medical Center. She was shocked to learn she had a heart attack in her sleep and was experiencing heart failure.
Earlier in the week, Waldrup began feeling pain in her left shoulder blade and neck. Her left arm was aching and would go numb, with the pain increasing and lasting for longer intervals. At the time, she attributed the pain to an old injury and was prescribed medicine to deal with it. She had no idea she was experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack.
February is American Heart Month, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in Louisiana and the United States. But many people don't understand their risk.
A common myth about heart disease is it only affects the elderly, but statistics show cardiovascular disease affects 40 percent of men and women ages 40-59.
Another common misconception is that heart disease is a man's disease, but nearly twice as many women in the United States die from cardiovascular disease than from cancer.
As a healthy woman in her 50s, Waldrup never considered her own risk, but she worried about her husband and took him to a free cardiovascular screening at the Cardiovascular Institute of the South in Houma in July 2011. She was encouraged to receive a screening as well, and the test showed her cholesterol was very high. However, she still didn't think she was at high risk because of her age and gender.
After her heart attack, an angiogram, which uses X-ray imaging and dye to see the arteries of the heart, determined she had four significantly blocked arteries, two of which were 99 percent blocked.
Waldrup received stents, or narrow tubes, in these arteries to restore blood flow.
"I was shocked to learn that I had blockages to that extent at 55 years old," Waldrup said. "I had strived to live a healthy lifestyle."
What Waldrup didn't take seriously was that she had two major risk factors: family history of heart disease and high cholesterol. Her father suffered two heart attacks, and though her cholesterol was high, she was not taking any medication.
With the help of her cardiologist, Waldrup was able to reach healthy cholesterol levels.
She has now resumed an active lifestyle and is thankful to be on a journey to better heart health.
"I am grateful to both Dr. Anil Chagarlamudi and Dr. Vinod Nair at CIS for helping to give me a second chance at the rest of my life," she said.
She now encourages others, especially women, to know the risks and to prevent heart disease before it strikes.
"The first way to protect yourself is to learn your risk factors and talk about them with your cardiologist," Waldrup said. "Women also tend to overlook their symptoms as I did. We cannot make the mistake of thinking that heart disease just happens to someone else."
Risk factors for heart disease include family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as smoking, being overweight or being inactive. Common, well-known signs of heart attacks include chest pain or shortness of breath. But other symptoms may be present, particularly in women, such as tightness or squeezing of the chest; pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck or jaw; nausea; lightheadedness; or cold sweats.
"The key to effectively prevent heart disease is education," said Dr. Craig Walker, founder of the Cardiovascular Institute of the South. "Anyone with risk factors should consider the possibility of having heart disease regardless of the presence of symptoms."
Looking back, Waldrup realized she should have acted sooner.
"We can only take care of those that we love if we are around to do it," Waldrup said. "You must take an active role in saving your own life. We only get one heart, and sometimes we only get one chance to save it. Don't blow that chance. Be a survivor."

LOWELL -- A dozen people were displaced from a triple-decker with a dark history on Dane Street in Lowell this afternoon when a two-alarm fire burned from the second floor to an attic space before firefighters put the flames out.
Crews were called to 25 Dane St., in the Acre, about 3:30 p.m., and found a fire that started in a second-floor apartment, according to Deputy Chief Patrick McCabe.
McCabe said he feared the fire would burn the building's roof off since it got into a crawlspace, but that the crew of Ladder 3 was able to vent holes in the roof, allowing heat and flames to escape, and then got water on the flames, which stopped the fire.
It was "textbook" work and a good example of why firefighters vent fires, according to McCabe.
Melissa Hagdock, who lives on the third floor with her husband, William McKee, said she was in the shower when she smelled smoke and heard someone yelling to get out of the building. She escaped unharmed.
Glenda Rivera lives on the other side of the third floor and had to get out of the building before she could find her Chihuahuas, Malla and Scooby.
Firefighters located both dogs and got them out of the building safely. They were staying at the Lowell Humane Society last night while Rivera and other residents were provided hotel rooms by the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts.
The building is where Riley Matyczynski, 5, fell to his death after pushing a screen out of a third-floor window on Sept. 2, 2009.
Residents said the building's owner, Joseph Labate, recently moved into the building since another home he owns, at 342 Pawtucket St., was damaged in a two-alarm fire on March 2. That fire left 13 people homeless.
Labate appeared shaken at the scene and declined to comment.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

l worship as an Hindu. I know what you may want to say. I do not see anything wrong with following any religion of your choice. It is a free world. And I choose Hinduism.
Did you become an Hindu when you travelled to India or while you were in Nigeria?
I was a Hinduist before I travelled to India. I was a Christian before I changed my faith and I must tell you I have found peace in Hinduism. And in India, I felt at home. I didn't feel like returning to Nigeria again because everyone was so nice to me.

TheDuelist "The problem is that Tom has developed the VW Beetle of the paintball industry. It's almost too good to change and far too reliable."
You got to love Photoshop. I think TNS2k2's E.T. and CYPRESS0099's Windtalkers look the best so far.
I dunno, Cryers "paintballs most wanted" along with the X-men one is really good too
and thats a NICE boondock saints tom!

well of course you are, yer the one getting all the attention!
btw, that warp left breech for my Xmag RULES!
thanx again!
Hows this?
www.moviegoods.com has a lot of good movie posters. They're all about 7"x12" at 72dpi. The only bad thing is that they put a watermark across the lower part of the image which you'll either have to photoshop out, crop out, or live with. The right-click/save function is disabled too but you can drag the image into your pirated copy of photoshop and it will work just fine. I don't believe this works for mspaint though.
jerhew, i just wanted the shinning and that was the first one I came across didn't even think to look for others oh well.
its from the wrong angle, but the picture was too funny not to use
Tom Kaye is.... The Bourne Identity...
This was just really funny to me. Especially in comparison with the real poster...
A little variation...
Tom also starred in....
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!
I think everyone knows where this one came from...
