Welcome to Casmir Pulaski Day!
Casimir Pulaski Day is a local holiday officially observed in Chicago, Illinois on the first Monday of every March in memory of Casimir Pulaski (March 6, 1745[1] – October 11, 1779), a Revolutionary War cavalry officer born in Poland as Kazimierz Pułaski. He is praised for his contributions to the U.S. military in the American Revolution and known as "the father of the American cavalry".
The day is celebrated mainly in areas that have large Polish populations, such as Chicago and Bloomington and DuBois. The focus of official commemorations of Casimir Pulaski Day in Chicago is at the Polish Museum of America where various city and state officials congregate to pay tribute to Chicago's Polish Community.

Former Syracuse football RB Jordan Fredericks will transfer to UMass (PS; Mink)
Former Syracuse football running back Jordan Fredericks will transfer to UMass, he announced Saturday on social media.
Fredericks will have to sit out the 2017 season because he is transferring to an FBS school. UMass is one of four such schools not affiliated with a conference.
The Inwood, N.Y. native led Syracuse in rushing as a true freshman in 2015 with 607 yards (5.7-yard average) before falling to third on the depth chart this past season under new coach Dino Babers. In 10 games this year, he carried the ball 28 times for 148 yards.
He arrived at Syracuse as one of its most promising recruits in 2015. Before college, Fredericks was named the 2014 Gatorade New York State Player of the Year after rushing for 2,158 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns during his senior season at Lawrence (Cedarhurst, N.Y.) High School.
He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Here are the other known transfer destinations for players who left the program since the end of the season:
- TE Trey Dunkelberger (Western Illinois)
- QB Austin Wilson (Coastal Carolina)
- CB Corey Winfield (West Virginia)
- DT Anthony Giudice (Lafayette)

'Shark Tank' investors lured by Upstate NY woman's baby invention (PS; TNS)
Melissa Gersin was a fussy baby who grew up to be a nurse and now an entrepreneur.
Her product, Tranquilo Mat, is designed to soothe fussy babies with vibration and sounds that mimic a mother's heartbeat.

Gersin, 33, grew up in Saratoga Springs. Her parents, desperate to stop her crying, took her for drives and even taped her car seat to the dryer in hopes the gentle vibration would be calming. It worked.
Years later as a maternity nurse in Boston area hospitals, Gersin became a crying baby specialist, using the advice of Harvey Karp, a pediatrician and author of "The Happiest Baby on the Block." One night during a shift, she found herself calming three babies at once. She started turning the idea over in her mind, looking for a better way. Tranquilo Mat was born in a light bulb moment in 2011.
Even though there are numerous tools for soothing a baby -- swings, rockers that vibrate, stuffed animals that play a heartbeat -- Gersin was shocked she didn't find a mat like the one she had in mind.
