history, there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re going to get. Toronto has been at or near the top of the conference…

One-And-Done: Age Discrimination “What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player” (Korman). The purpose of basketball is not just to be the best and have the most titles; it should be meant for players to develop integrity and try to set an example for the next generation.

To share, for example, I’ve had a significant event that has helped me identify myself as an expert within my community of practice. It started off one Christmas performance at the California Theatre, downtown San Bernardino. My instructor suggested for the whole mariachi group to go rehearse at this specific theater at a certain time before the performance. He approached us saying “I want you all there for practice, Saturday morning at 10a.m, no excuses…

The bulk of the research for MyndMove was conducted locally, at the Toronto Rehab Institute, owned by the University Health Network. There, the inventor, also a professor, had all the supplies he needed, and an endless supply of interns if he needed it. If an individual wanted to be involved in this field, and a part of future advancements to FES, University of Toronto would be ideal, but the McMaster University would also be a good option. Both of these schools offer…

It’s been about 20 years since the MLB has expanded. Commissioner Rob Manfred believes that an expansion could be coming soon. Montreal is most likely the next destination for a Major League Baseball team. Montreal’s rich baseball background dates back to when the Expos first existed in 1969.

A project called the Montreal Baseball Project started by Warren Cromartie, a former player for the Expos between 1974 to 1983, is already in…
