April 20 was chosen as the date for theChinese language "to pay tribute to Cang Jie, a mythical figure who is presumed to have invented Chinese characters about 5,000 years ago".[2]

Farrell High Product Rob Trudo is on the NFL's Radar for Upcoming Draft (sharonherald.com; Farrell)
Okay, so the National Football League draft takes place next Thursday-Saturday in Chicago. It’s an annual rite of spring and a potentially life-altering experience for dozens of young men across the country.
But if and when his phone rings there’s a good chance Robert Trudo will not be able to immediately answer; you see, he’ll be in class at Syracuse University, working on his masters degree.
“I’ll have my phone with me,” he admitted. “ ... The faculty’s very understanding. I’m sure (his professor) will understand if my phone starts ringing 10 times, I’ll be able to get out of class ... “
And celebrate?
“Nah. I’ll probably go back to class,” Trudo related. “I probably won’t call anybody, maybe just send out a couple texts to my mom, dad, brother sister, maybe send out some tweets.”
The Farrell High product is hoping to complete his masters degree (with one final on-line course) in instructional design by early July –– fortuitous timing because NFL camps open later that month. And there’s a good chance Trudo will be in one of them.
The 6-foot-4 Trudo is hoping to weigh approximately 305 pounds by the time teams’ OTAs begin later this spring. His stellar Syracuse University career included 4 letters, 44 starts – at both center and guard – and numerous academic honors from the Big East and Atlantic Coast conferences.

In addition to Syracuse, Douglass also holds offers from Cincinnati, Kentucky, Bowling Green and Toledo.
St Anselm College Hires Former Syracuse Coach Joe Adam (unionleader.com; Staff)
One month after firing Patrick Murphy, St. Anselm College announced Tuesday its new head football coach.
Joe Adam, who recently served as the offensive line coach at Syracuse University, becomes the school’s fourth head coach since the program was reinstated in 1999.
Adam has over 20 coaching years of experience.
He was a coach of two NCAA Division II National Championships. Adam coached at Western Michigan University and Grand Valley State, winning two national titles with the Lakers. One of those seasons, in 2003, was under head coach Brian Kelly, now the head coach at Notre Dame.
Adam also spent eight seasons at Elmhurst (Ill.) College, serving as the head coach in 2013 before moving on to Syracuse.
Adam was the defensive coordinator in 2012 when the Bluejays earned their first conference championship in 22 years. That program qualified for the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time.
“Joe brings a wealth of college coaching experience — having spent time at all levels, Division I, II and III,” said St, Anselm Director of Athletics Daron Montgomery in a news release.. “He has worn many hats as a coordinator, position coach and head coach, something we believe has prepared him well for this opportunity.”

Chancellor Syverrud Thinks the New NY Budget is Good for CNY (PS; Syverud)
Syracuse University's 162nd Commencement takes place next month in the Carrier Dome.
I am preparing for commencement by looking through our history. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Gov. Mario Cuomo's 1986 commencement address. As the Syracuse Herald-Journal printed at the time, Gov. Cuomo's remarks encouraged our students "to triumph over circumstances" as he spoke of "his mother's dreams in coming to America."
During my time as chancellor I have heard accounts of his tireless efforts to improve the lives of New Yorkers. Gov. Cuomo was also a friend to the university. He shared in joyous moments beyond commencement, such as celebrating with our 1987 football team after an undefeated season. He was also here in deep sorrow when he spoke at a 1989 memorial service for the students lost in the PanAm 103 tragedy.
Mario Cuomo died earlier this year. In many ways, his son Andrew, our governor, has faced even greater challenges, particularly in Upstate New York. When Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office in 2010, it was after decades of inaction in addressing the real economic issues the region faced. Among the many challenges were high taxes, job losses, and lack of investment in the people of Upstate.
