At 21, the young man finds himself the head of a family--himself and three younger sisters, one of them a baby. His father is in jail and his mother is absent. He is solely responsible for his family's survival. The family, named "Smith," possesses two stoves, four transportation passes, a little cash, no car, and a pile of debt. The young man is also struggling to stay in college.
This scenario was one of many role-played by students at Northampton Community College (NCC) on April 4 as part of a poverty simulation. The program originated in Missouri and was brought to the College by the Pocono Alliance, which seeks solutions to poverty in the region.
As part of the simulation, students received assigned identities of invented "family members" living in poverty. The purpose of the event was to demonstrate the hardships low-income families face on a daily basis and the barriers they encounter trying to become financially stable. "It is a stressful situation for poor families and the agencies that help them," said Arthur Piancone, director of the Pocono Alliance. "Poor people live in the tyranny of the moment. They have to solve today's problem today, and every day presents a new problem. They are in reactive mode and cannot plan for the future."
Students in "family groups" sat together on chairs, trying to figure out how they would stretch their scanty resources for a week, and then, later, for a month. Surrounding them in the Community Room stood tables staffed by student role players, labeled Realville Police Department, Juvenile Hall, U Trust Us Bank, Food-A-Rama, Big Dave's Pawn Shop, General Employer, Quick Cash, Child Care Center, Social Service Department, Realville Public School, Community Action Agency, and Interfaith Services. Time limits were given to accomplish tasks, and transportation tickets were necessary to get to the social service office and to day care.
The "Smiths" try to fulfill their responsibilities under daunting circumstances. They have to sell their two stoves. The 21-year-old (played by a young woman) narrowly misses picking up the baby in day care because he has to stand in line at the pawnshop. After buying some groceries, he has left to him only $18, an amount insufficient for other expenses. His sisters are sitting on the floor doing homework because they have no chairs. One of the sisters describes her school as being overcrowded and of poor educational quality.
A long line forms at the employment office. The Realville School is obviously bursting at the seams. The "social service caseworker" fills out forms for applicants coming to her desk in rapid succession. Some of the questions she must ask them are highly personal.
As part of the program, Piancone alerted students to the roles community agencies and interfaith organizations play in helping people in need. Often, he said, people do not avail themselves of these agencies because they do not know about them.
The poverty simulation drew a Community Room-full of students and made personal the complexities and frustrations of living without.

Does Loud 'N Clear Live Up to Ads' Claims?
If you're having trouble hearing, you might be tempted to buy a new product called the Loud 'N Clear.
It promises to help you hear better and even hear things you might not ordinarily be able to.
But, can the Loud 'N Clear really do all that its ads claim?
NewsChannel 5 Investigates put it to the test, and consumer investigator Jennifer Kraus found the answer is loud and clear.
The TV ads claim you'll never miss another word with the Loud 'N Clear, a small device that looks like a cell phone ear piece.
In the commercial, the announcer proclaims, "It turns ordinary hearing into extraordinary hearing."
They call it a personal sound amplifier rather than a hearing aid. But the Loud 'N Clear ads are clearly aimed at senior citizens who are experiencing hearing loss.
In the commercial, you also hear that all you have to do is "simply turn up the volume and hear what people are saying around you."
But the problem is, our investigation found, the Loud 'N Clear just doesn't do what the ads say it will.
Kathleen Calligan of the Better Business Bureau said, "This is blatantly false and misleading advertising."
With Calligan's help, we tested the Loud 'N Clear's claims.
The ads claim the device is "so powerful you can even hear conversations from across the street."
But when Calligan stood across the street from Kraus, Calligan couldn't hear a word being said.
The ads also say you can "even understand what people are saying when you can't hear them. With Loud 'N Clear, you can listen in."
But inside the Better Business Bureau offices, Kraus stood just feet away around a corner talking, but again Calligan could not hear her.
And, finally, they tested the claims that the Loud 'N Clear is "so powerful you can hear a pin drop across the room."
Kraus dropped a sewing needle on a table top across a room from Calligan. Again, Calligan heard nothing.
Calligan tells NewsChannel 5 Investigates, "What is loud and clear about the Loud 'N Clear is that it doesn't work."
NewsChannel 5 Investigates also took the Loud 'N Clear to Vanderbilt University's Hearing Lab where Drs. Todd Ricketts and Ben Hornsby ran the device through a battery of slightly more scientific tests.
When they were done, Ricketts and Hornsby agreed, "It's a nice little toy. A good toy."
The researchers say the Loud 'N Clear does make moderate sounds louder, but it has severe limitations.
For one thing, it can't single out just one sound. So in a big room like the NewsChannel 5 newsroom, the Loud 'N Clear would help you hear a TV across the room any better because the device makes not just the sound of the TV louder, but everything in the room louder.
"The idea that this is going to perhaps help somebody with hearing loss or help an older person hear better, I think, is misleading, at best, " said Dr. Ricketts.
And, at least one part of the ad, the researchers say is downright dangerous.
The ad claims the Loud 'N Clear is "a must for hunters because it lets you hear the wildlife before they hear you."
But, Ricketts cautioned, "If you were hunting with this and if you fired a gun which is at a very high level, it would be amplified at least some."
And that, he says, could seriously damage your hearing.
For our final test, we took the Loud 'N Clear to a bingo game and asked one of the seniors their to give it a try.
Maurine Simpson wore it for several minutes and initially seemed to think it helped her hear better. But, then when we tried to ask her about it, she couldn't hear our question.
We then asked her to tell us what two women across the table were saying to each other.
Simpson told us, "No, can't understand them. It's one of these things that's over-rated probably."
Another problem with the Loud N Clear is if you turn it up, it makes a lot of noise itself which makes it then hard to hear everything else.
Experts say if you're experiencing hearing loss, you're better off getting your hearing tested by a doctor and then getting a hearing aid specifically designed to help you.
The Loud 'N Clear sells for anywhere from $15 to $20, depending on where you get it.
But save your money. As the doctors at Vanderbilt said, it makes a fun toy, but not much more than that.

Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh peeled ginger
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for pan
- 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
- 24 lamb chops, frenched and completely trimmed
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Green Goddess Mint Dipping Pots
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, 1/4 cup oil, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a large shallow baking dish and pour over garlic mixture. Cover and let marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Oil a large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and cook until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to prepared baking dish. Add rosemary and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
Step 3
Transfer to oven and roast 15 to 20 minutes. Turn potatoes by shaking sheet and continue roasting, 15 to 20 minutes more, until golden brown.
Step 4
Meanwhile, preheat grill or a grill pan over medium high heat. Remove lamb chops from marinade, wiping off any excess and place on grill. Season with salt and pepper, and grill, rotating lamb chops 1/2 turn after 1 minute, and continue grilling until cross-hatch marks form, about 1 minute more. Turn lamb chops and repeat process on opposite side. Transfer chops to a warm plate and let stand 3 to 5 minutes before serving with dipping sauce.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - New Hanover County Commissioners are going to try something new with its annual State of County Address. Instead of the typical speech from the chairman of the board, each commissioner will be featured in a thirty minute segment.
Chairman Woody White says this unique approach gives county residents a chance to hear from all of the commissioners.
"It will allow the citizens to see a real personal, unfiltered view of their elected officials," White said.
In addition to the commissioners' segments, the County Manager will be featured.
The thirty minute segments begin airing Monday, June 24 on The Government Channel.
White says this gives voters easy access to the people they put in office.
"You know they vote for us--they see us sworn in--but they don't really have a lot of interaction with us. Next week, when this starts airing, they're going to have thirty minutes a night with each one of us.
NHCTV can be seen throughout New Hanover County on Time Warner channel 13 and Charter Communications channel 5.

The Quiksilver King of the Peak ran it's course on November 8th & 9th at the East Coast's famed Sebastian Inlet, FL. which marks the 15th Anniversary of the KOP. The contest, utilizes the "Skins Format" and with a total prize purse of $10,000 so it was game on in the Dirty South! $260 per skin for the best wave of the heat which is identified by what is known as a "claim" where the surfer raises his hands over head when he feels he has nailed a winner. Simply put, the surfer with the most skins at the end of the day is crowned the champion.
With a low-pressure swell & a high pressure pinching off the East Coast there were head high waves on offer for two days, and the Inlet skatepark was open! With a field of 76 surfers from up and down the Eastern Seaboard, the Gulf and Puerto Rico, everyone had their sights on the Crown, Cloak & Surfboard Scepter along wih the coveted title "King of The Peak."
With Sebastian Inlet doing it mixed wedge thing, it was common to see a mean tail whip followed up by a draining barrel. Standouts were Aaron Cormican for obvious reasons, Oliver Kurtz, Brian "Hewy" Hewitson and a host of others.
The Eastern Surf Magazine Airshow was up in the mix, as it has been year after year, with a $625 prize purse.
Kelly Slater, the founder & co-conceptualized the format of the King of the Peak, came down to the contest and threw a bonus into the mix: The Kelly Slater Experi-MENTAL Maneuver – The surfer who throws down the most Experi-MENTAL Maneuver wins a hand shaped board from Kelly Slater.
Former Quiksilver King of the Peak & fellow WCT tour vet, CJ Hobgood also cruised down and joined Kelly with Benji Weatherly to hang with the kids and surf on the side of the event contest site.
In the, end after all the spray had fell, 22 year old Eddie Guilbeu had stuck the following maneuvers who used a wide variation of above the lip trickery and serious risk taking in which the KOP has been based on for the past 15yrs and Eddie lofted his was to victory and the prestige to be called "King Of The Peak!"
Of Course the local groms were in disbelief this was actually happening in their backyard. World-class surfing is becoming synonymous with Sebastian Inlet. It's no surprise and perhaps it's a new offspring in the making…
Congrats Eddie Guilbeau!

This is a great costume, however when we got it in the mail, the hat was all wrinkled and crushed. Unable to wear it because it looks really bad. Very disappointed because without the hat, the costume isn't as good as it would be with it.

LAKELAND -- Dillard's seniors cried, laughed and hugged on the bench.
Kayla Wright hid her face under her jersey.
She let her emotions out as she reflected on four of the most memorable years of her life.
A little while later when the final buzzer sounded, Wright didn't hold back her joy. And neither did Dillard's girls' basketball team after beating St. Petersburg Lakewood 57-41 on Saturday morning to secure its fourth consecutive state championship.
"Four-peat," Wright shouted while hoisting the Class 5A state championship trophy high above her head. "All we do is win, win, win."
Win state titles is all the Panthers did during Wright's career as Dillard (28-2) became only the second Broward County school to accomplish the feat joining South Broward.
Dillard won its eighth state title overall — a Broward record — and are only one short of Jacksonville Ribault's state-record nine. Ribault is the only school with a longer state title streak in state history, winning five from 1999 to 2003. Dillard's girls also matched its school's boys' team, which also won four state titles in a row (2000 to 2003).
"It's a very special moment because we hadn't done it before," Wright said. "It means even more to the ones who were here since freshman year."
On Saturday, Wright finished with 15 points, six rebounds and four steals and helped Dillard impose its will in the paint where the Panthers collected 38 of their points. They also outrebounded Lakewood 36-29.
Senior Eva Myers, who came up short of winning a state title as a junior last year at Parkway Academy, finished with a game-high 19 points and nine rebounds and was voted the Class 5A final four's Most Valuable Player.
Dillard trailed briefly by four points midway through the first quarter before taking the lead for good just before the quarter ended. The Panthers signature pressure defense forced 19 turnovers.
Dillard coach Marcia Pinder, who has the record for most coaching victories in state history and has been the Panthers coach for all eight championships, also achieved another milestone tying former Ribault coach Alfred Austin for most state titles.
"I was watching the bench players excited to go in at the end," Pinder said. "But when I turned around and saw the seniors crying on the bench, I almost broke down myself."
Wright, a Tulsa University signee, and Ja'Coreyah Clayton became the fourth and fifth players in Broward to ever play varsity on four state championship teams joining former UM standout Lamese James, Lashaunda Slade and Keunta Miles, who were all part of South Broward's four consecutive titles from 2000 to 2003. Wright, Clayton and Alliyah Anderson are among Dillard's six seniors graduating this year.
Wright became a starter late in her freshman season and made a prediction shortly after helping Dillard win the state title that season.
"That year, Candace Parsons got hurt and I had to step up," Wright said. "I told coach we're going to get four of these."
Added Pinder: "Sometimes you hear players run their mouths saying, 'Yeah, we'll be back,' but for a freshman to make that kind of statement and then prove it over four years. She's special."
Pinder has won 832 games in 36 years as Dillard's coach. but one of her proudest accomplishments is the team's family atmosphere that has kept the winning tradition alive for generations.
Wright celebrated Saturday's victory with her mother, Wanda, who played for Pinder from 1984 to 1987 before playing in college at Lane University in Jackson, Tennessee. Wright's father, Louis, is an assistant coach on the Dillard boys' team.
"I knew firsthand playing for Ms. Pinder, she would be on Kayla and get the best out of her both in basketball and academically," Wanda Wright said. "I wanted those same things for my daughter because in the long run those are the things that will take her far, and [Pinder] deserves a lot of credit for doing that for so many [at Dillard]."
LAK (24-7): Swinton 4, Alvarado 15, Allen 5, Ungro 8, Frazer 9. DIL (28-2): Wright 15, Clayton 7, Myers 19, Parson 5, Wilks 1, Green 4, Adams 4, Frazier 2. Half: DIL 31-22. Three-pointers: Alvarado 3, Ungro 2, Myers. Rebounds: Allen 13. Assists: Myers, Ungro 4. Steals: Wright, Parson, Frazier 4.

Good book, and If you like this book I am sure that you will also like both the Harry Potter series and the Percy Jackson series. This is good book for anyone who likes Avi, because this book relates to the Avi series so well. If you have read this book I am sure that you will like Avi and Harry Potter and Percy Jackson books too. The one thing that I did not really think that was realistic was the curse on the main persons family, but overall I liked this book!!! You should definitely read it if you haven't, and the movie isn't as bad as it sounds. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars, because of some of the unrealistic parts. But otherwise it is a good book!!! You should read it if you haven't, because it is bound to entertain you for hours. It is definitely worth the money it costs!!!

This book is great for many ages and reading levels. Everything ties up well including the mysterious shoe that falls onto Stanley's head, his chain of bad luck that stretches back to his great ancestors, and why camp green lake, isn't really green and doesn't really have a lake. I recommend reading this book.

Grade 6 and up. Middle school student Stanley Yelnats is the latest in a long history of Yelnats to have horrible luck. Stanley's inherited misfortune leaves him wrongly accused and serving a sentence in a juvinile detention center. Comical, heart-warming, and realistic this story will have you asking for more.

Stanley Yelnats the Third is in trouble and it's all the fault of his no-good, pig-stealing great-great grandfather. He has to dig holes in the desert for "his character" for stealing shoes that fell out of the sky. Also, this story involves gypsy curses, Kissing Kate Barlow, and stinky sneakers. Confused? Any plot synopsis would be confusing, but the book itself is one of those rare, but fantastic books that combines lots of plot elements together in a way that is facsinating, unexpected, and tight. No detail is actually wasted, the characters and the story suck you right in, and the ending is emotionally satisfying. Great for children, or the child-at-heart.

NAIROBI, Kenya — The Ethiopian government has banned its citizens from traveling overseas for employment.
According to the state owned Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency, the order took effect from Thursday and the government is also clamping down on foreign employment agencies
The Ministry of Foreign Affair says countless Ethiopians have lost their lives and undergone untold physical and psychological traumas due to illegal human trafficking. The latest move came after hundreds of African migrants lost their lives off the Italian island of Lampedusa at the beginning of the month.
According to the Association of Ethiopian Overseas Recruitment Agencies, more than half a million Ethiopians have flown out of the country illegally the last five years and most of the migrants are underage females who are smuggled to the Middle East.

Tiger Woods is not alone. Take a look at the sex-crazed stars who have battled this addiction at one time...or several times.
By Koryn KennedySeptember 16, 2010 4:00 PM
Bachrach/GettyBack Next
John F. Kennedy
Kennedy was an extramarital sexual overachiever in an era when there was no such thing as sex addiction back then, they were just called cheaters.
Brian To/GettyBack Next
Amber Smith
After copping to drug addiction, alcoholism, and prostitution, Amber cleaned up on live TV in Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab. Once sober, she revealed that on top of the drugs and dysfunction, she was also a sex addict — luckily, Dr. Drew was launching Celebrity Sex Rehab.
Christopher Peterson/GettyBack Next
Russell Brand
It was no big shocker when Russell Brand admitted he's an ex-sex addict. Seriously, what hasn't he been addicted to?
Michael Cohen/GettyBack Next
Tiger Woods
This is by no means scientific, but it appears that influences such as fame, power, and tons and tons of money seem to enable sex addiction to develop and grow in men. Exhibit A: Tiger Woods.

Kendra Jade Rossi
Another Dr. Drew alum. Kendra not only had a severe addiction to sex, but to heavy eye makeup as well.
Christopher Peterson/GettyBack Next
Eliot Spitzer
The former governor's sex addiction was discovered when he was caught sleeping with a prostitute only a few years older than his daughters.
Jeffrey Mayer/GettyBack Next
David Duchovny
As it turns out, David was not just researching his role in Californication when he was hopping from bed to bed; he was deep in his disease. We're going to assume his involvement with the Red Shoe Diaries was an early cry for help.
Tiffany Rose/GettyBack Next
Jennie Ketcham
Jennie became famous as a porn star under the name Penny Flame — before coming out as a sexual bully and addict. Naturally, she sought treatment on national television.
Jason LaVeris/GettyBack Next
Jesse James
Even marriage to Sandra Bullock is no match for the pull of a serious sexual addiction. We've seen pictures of "Bombshell" McGee and agree — he was clearly under the influence of a very strong affliction.
Charlie Sheen
After being outed as one of the names on Heidi Fleiss's brothel client list, he was recognized as having a sex addiction — and a thing for call girls in cheerleading uniforms.
Eric Ryan/GettyBack Next
Kanye West
Not a single eyebrow was raised when Kanye came out with his sex addiction what's a little sexaholism for a man who can stir up controversy in his sleep?
Michael Douglas
It seems one way to cure sexual addiction is to marry a beautiful woman 40 years younger than you but we don't think this is covered by insurance.
Jim Spellman/GettyBack Next
Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob is most known for being an ex-husband of Angelina Jolie and a sexaholic oh, and he's done some acting too.
Albert L. Ortega/GettyBack Next
Kari Ann Peniche
As with most addicts, there were telltale signs: the hard partying, the revealing clothing, making a sex tape with a TV actor and the Noxzema Girl.... It's amazing no one picked up on it sooner.
Tom Sizemore
Tom's said that he is not only a drug and sex addict, but a Catholic too.

One person is dead after a car was hit by an Amtrak passenger train Friday night in Garner.
The car, driven by 59-year-old Robin Downes Mozafaripour, of Raleigh, was near the intersection of Vandora Springs and Garner roads when it was hit by the train around 9:45 p.m.
"I was coming out of church and there was a car sitting on the train track," said witness Tyler Julian. "The whistle blew and the car didn't move."
"I don't know why she wasn't moving," Julian said. "She may have just had car trouble. I don't know.
Garner Police said Mozafaripour was traveling east on
Garner Road and turned right onto Vandora Springs Road. She then ran off
the road to the right and her vehicle got stuck on the railroad tracks.
Julian said when the train hit, she jumped out of her car in tears and called 911. She explained to the operator that she did not see any movement inside the car.
Garner Police said there were no reports of injuries on board the train.
The Amtrak train was traveling from New York to Miami. It was scheduled to arrive in Raleigh at 9 p.m. The train left the scene of the collision around 11:30 p.m.

Do noisier hybrid cars make sense?
One federal traffic agency says silence could be deadly, but those crying for the $25 million-a-year change aren't so loud.
Enjoy the silence for now, electric and hybrid car drivers, because the government is about to demand that your vehicle make some noise.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants your Nissan (NSANY) Leaf, Chevrolet (GM) Volt and Tesla (TSLA) Model S to make some detectable noise at speeds under 18 miles per hour so bicyclists, pedestrians and the visually impaired can hear it.
The agency argued in an e-mail sent Monday that the measure would save 35 lives over each model year of hybrid vehicles and prevent 2,800 injuries.
Adding external speakers to those cars would cost about $25 million a year, or about $35 per vehicle, according to the agency. Environmental groups, however, argue that there's little conclusive evidence that the relative low-speed silence of electric and hybrid vehicles contributes to accidents or somehow makes them more dangerous than existing, noisier vehicles with internal combustion engines.
As seems to be more commonly the case these days, American drivers can thank Congress for this latest debate and potential cost increase. The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010 requires the Transportation Department, including the traffic safety agency, to write a rule addressing the noise levels of electric and hybrid cars and their potential dangers to walkers and cyclists by Jan. 4, 2014.
Those drivers should know, however, that much of the auto industry is not only on board with this plan, but thinks it's a good idea. The National Federation of the Blind is a fan of the rule and insists that the increasing number of cars that don't make noise at low speeds put blind people at risk. Toyota (TM), meanwhile, has already installed equipment on hybrid models sold in Japan and the U.S. that produces a sound when the engine runs.
"To add about a $30 or $35 item to a car for this kind of injury and death prevention, it's hard to argue against," Jesse Toprak, an analyst for industry data provider TrueCar.com in Santa Monica, Calif., told Bloomberg in an interview. "I'm sure all of us have experienced at some time the fear of getting struck by a Prius."
As an episode of the NBC sitcom "The Office" illustrated, it wouldn't be so difficult for a hybrid driver to sneak up on a pedestrian before that person had a chance to react. Cars that lack or intermittently use internal-combustion engines don't make noise while they accelerate or idle like their gasoline and diesel counterparts. A 2011 study found that electric and hybrid cars that go silent at low speeds are twice as likely as vehicles with internal-combustion engines to be involved in pedestrian accidents when backing up, slowing or stopping, starting in traffic or entering or leaving a parking space or driveway.
Yet, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's own numbers, both pedestrian fatalities and overall traffic fatalities in the U.S. have actually decreased since 2000 as the number of hybrid and electric vehicles on the road increased. Also, the agency's proposed quiet car rule assumes hybrid vehicles are more than 4% of the automobile market. Alan Baum, principal of industry researcher Baum & Associates in West Bloomfield, Mich., told Bloomberg that hybrids made up only 3% of light vehicles sold in the U.S., up from 2.1% in 2011. Plug-in electric vehicles, meanwhile, were only 0.37% percent of sales last year, up from 0.14% the previous year.
It's a small niche, but what's a government agency with "traffic" and "safety" in its name supposed to do? Just shrug off potential danger and rubber stamp any large, rolling, silent object that comes its way? Even if a taxpayer's answer to that question is yes, they're still getting off lightly. The traffic safety agency missed a deadline last week for a rule that would have required backup cameras in all new cars. The cost attached to that project would have been $2.7 billion a year.
Besides, there's a 60-day period for public comment, so worried pedestrians and irate drivers can offer the agency a little noise of their own before the rule's final version takes effect.

Jazz limp through 102-91 home loss to Hawks
By Bill Oram
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Feb 27 2013 11:06PM
The steps forward have been countered by steps back, and the steps back have been compounded by awkward steps that result in limping steps.
Paul Millsap watched the Jazz lose to Atlanta from the training room, where he received treatment on a sprained left ankle that forced him to miss his first game of the season. Al Jefferson, hobbled by a late-game sprain to match, staggered uncertainly across the Jazz locker room to grab an item from his locker. DeMarre Carroll moved gingerly, his throbbing left knee wrapped in ice.
The home locker room could have stood in for a M.A.S.H. unit after the Jazz, already without point guard Mo Williams, lost in a 102-91 beatdown at the hands of the Hawks.
"It's very frustrating," Gordon Hayward said, "especially when we have an opportunity to move up in the West a little bit and take care of this home court that we usually do a good job of defending."
Like M*A*S*H the TV show, each episode of the Jazz's three-game losing streak has been a rerun.
Seen the one where the Jazz are lethargic out of halftime? The one where they fight valiantly only to come up short? You'll laugh, you'll cry.
The Jazz were outscored 26-18 in the third quarter and fell behind by as many as 20 points. They rallied in the fourth and got within eight with 5:32 remaining after a 3-pointer by Carroll, who played despite a hyperextended knee. However, the Jazz never got any closer, despite Randy Foye's franchise record-tying 129th 3-pointer of the season.
"We got down too much again in that third quarter," Hayward said. "We can't do that when we're trying to make a run ourselves, but they stopped it and you can't build yourself that big of a hole."
Jefferson led the Jazz with 26 points and 11 rebounds, but went down hard in the final minute. He stayed in the game but was listed afterward as day-to-day with a sprain. Derrick Favors, starting in place of Millsap, finished with 17 points and a season-high 15 rebounds. While that frontcourt performance was impressive, the Jazz were still outscored 54-46 in the paint, thanks to Atlanta's Al Horford and Josh Smith. They combined for 58 points and 29 rebounds, with Horford scoring 34 points and Smith contributing 24.
Horford and Smith spent most of the night playing a two-man game, setting side screens to get Horford open jumpers from the elbow. When they tired of that, they simply stepped aside and allowed point guard Jeff Teague to drive to the hoop for his 19 points.
"They're a hard team to guard," coach Tyrone Corbin said, "and they do a good job of getting in the paint and dishing out."
Marvin Williams finished with eight points on 4-of-10 shooting in his first game against the Hawks, the only team he had played for before the Jazz traded for him last summer. Former Jazz guard Devin Harris scored 12 points for the Hawks, while Kyle Korver scored four. DeShawn Stevenson, a former first-round pick by the Jazz, finished with two points in 13 minutes.
With Houston losing to the Bucks on a Monta Ellis buzzer-beater, the Jazz remained half a game up on the Rockets for seventh place in the Western Conference. The Jazz play one more game at home, Friday against Charlotte, before heading out on a four-game road trip through the Eastern Conference.
The Jazz were held scoreless for the first 4:24 of the second half. And while the Jazz were getting good enough shots to force Hawks' coach Larry Drew to use a timeout, Corbin quipped, "It don't matter when you're missing them."

Kevin McNew is President of Grain Hedge and Geograin. McNew was raised on a farm in central Oklahoma and received his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University, and master's and Ph.D. degrees in Economics from North Carolina State University. For over a decade, he was a Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland and Montana State University, focusing on commodity markets. He has received numerous academic awards for his research and outreach work, and was (and still is) widely regarded for boiling down complex economic issues into easy-to-understand concepts for applied life.
Grain prices were modestly higher across the board overnight helping erase part of the losses from Thursday's day session.
After a steep runup following last week's fresh supply and demand data, grain markets turned lower on Thursday even in the face of seemingly bullish news. Soybeans ht a marketing year high 1.6 MMT of export business for the weeks led by aggressive soybean purchases by China. In addition, USDA announced a daily sale of 240,000 MT of beans to unknown destinations on Thursday. Corn even fared well posting a 393,000 MT week after successive sub-100,000 ton weeks of late. Wheat managed a good showing as well with 536,000 MT for the week.
The soybean market continues to try to balance exceptionally strong near term demand with the prospects of a record large crop in South America. Nearby March futures has traded up to key resistance at $14.50 in recent sessions but has backed off and currently sits at $14.35. It will be important for this market take out that level to keep the bullish enthusiasm in check.
For corn, it too has stalled out at key resistance of $7.34 but we think ultimately it needs to trade back to the $7.60 mark of the fall on March futures to curb demand. With livestock feed use being stronger during Sep-Nov than expected by USDA, it seems likely that prices need to eclipse the $7.60 mark that was traded during that time period.
In the wheat market, dryness in the U.S. Plains continues to keep prices supported, but competition from India keeps prices from running too far. India's government has burdensome stockpiles of wheat that it needs to unload on the world market before the next harvest. Indian wheat is cheapest at the moment and it has very successfully replaced Australian wheat in the animal feed market. India is poised to triple wheat exports this year to a higher-than-expected, record 6 million tonnes, helping plug a shortfall in lower-quality grain supplies and keep a lid on global prices.

The Obama administration has been industriously predicting devastating consequences of sequestration, trotting out officials from various departments to talk about the employees who will be furloughed and the services that will be gutted if the budget cuts hit.
But not all these dire warnings add up. In a report submitted to Congress by the White House Office of Management and Budget, OMB detailed the effects of sequestration to various agencies — including one that no longer exists, as Reason noticed.
In the report, ironically intended to comply with the Sequestration Transparency Act of 2012, OMB said the budget cuts would slash $2 million from the National Drug Intelligence Center, which was closed in June 2012.

Usher released his long-awaited follow-up to the über successful Raymond vs. Raymond today with an unexpected new sound. Though many critics call Usher's seventh studio album, Looking 4 Myself, one of his strongest ever; the project left me looking for my money back.
The 14-track album features tracks from Rico Love, Will.I.Am, Jim Jonsin, Max Martin, and Diplo among others. It also features cameos from Rick Ross, ASAP Rocky, and Pharell. While his first single, "Climax" is currently at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B Songs chart, it has failed to win me over since its release last month.
I can respect and actually applaud an artist who isn't afraid to push boundaries and challenge preconceptions, but I think Usher has taken this reinvention a bit too far. What many critics are praising as 'groundbreaking' and 'genre-crossing' really just sounds retro and recycled to me. The lines between innovation and replication have blurred, and I'm left with an album that feels like a cross between pop hits from the late 1980s and *NSYNC circa 2001 on their No Strings Attached tour.
In the album's opening track, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", Will.I.Am provides the production for lyrics like "Love you like a lollipop from the bottom to the top/get you wet/ raincoat let me be your body soap." Really?
What happened to the songwriting behind hits like "Confessions" and "Burn" or even throwbacks like "You Make Me Wanna"? Even in the bonus tracks, there was nothing even close to those kinds of hits on this album. In truth, the Usher I know and love was nowhere in sight; or—in earshot.
Still, many others love the new direction. NPR said, "Looking 4 Myself is solidly soulful, dramatic in all the right places, heartfelt, deeply danceable, sexy: in a shiny new package, it's classic R&B."
Below are some highlights and lowlights of Usher's latest offering:
"Scream": The album's second single is slowly making its way to radio, but lacks the lyrics and luster of a true hit. The sexually charged pounding sounds awfully familiar… "DJ Got Me Fallin In Love Again" anyone?
"Hot Thing": This track features ASAP Rocky and is produced by The Neptunes. One of four bonus tracks on the album; it's one of the stronger songs that probably should have made the main track list. While its more palpable as a whole than most of the other records on the list, it was still a loser, lyrically.
"Lemme See": This is one of the stronger tracks on the album and comes courtesy of super producer, Jim Jonsin and features a characteristically cool verse from Rick Ross.
"Twisted": The seventies-sounding throwback track is a welcomed surprise and unexpectedly cool and catchy. Thanks to Pharell's effortless swag and Usher's uncanny ability to seduce at mid-tempo, this one's a winner.
"Dive": This is another favorite from the album, and another winner from Jim Jonsin and Rico Love. It's Usher at his finest—in his sensual sweet spot, confident and flirtatious without being hokey. It's songs like this that leave room in fans' memories for occasional duds.

Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Ryan Murphy
This weekend, Fox announced that the premiere of Glee would be postponed and now series co-creator Ryan Murphy shares more info on the future of Glee and his feelings about the tragic death of co-star Cory Monteith.
Murphy revealed that the he held an emergency intervention with Monteith at his Paramount office in March. Cory resisted the idea of getting treatment and said he wanted to finish out the season. Murphy says he assured Cory that his job would be waiting for him when he got back so Cory left for rehab.
His subsequent death has been very hard on the cast and the crew says Murphy in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
Once you met Cory, you just sort of instantly fell in love with him because he was both an angel and a devil. He was someone that you just instinctively wanted to protect because you felt like he was a fatherless child, and after a very hard childhood he felt adrift in the world.
Murphy also talked about the producers' struggle to figure out how to deal with the show.
When you're faced with something so sad and so shocking, what do you do? Do we cancel the show? Do we start shooting in January? What do we do? Ultimately, we decided the best thing for everyone is to get back to work and be around people who knew him and loved him so that everyone can grieve together.
So what can we expect from Glee this season? Here's what we know so far:
Do you think Glee will be the same without Cory Monteith?

Questions Linger After Mothman Prophecies
- Saturday, January 26, 2002
The Mothman Prophecies - PG-13
Best for: Mature teens and adults who can enjoy an intense science-fiction thriller.
What it's about: John Klein (Richard Gere) is a Washington Post star reporter who questions the bizarre drawings his wife, Mary (Debra Messing), left behind after her tragic death. Two years later, while driving to an assignment, he finds himself in Point Pleasant, W.V., where he stays to investigate (with local cop Laura Linney) reported apparitions and psychic events. Will Patton also stars.
The good: I love good sci-fi, especially when it's based on true events and the "unexplainable." This movie is based on true reports and sightings of a tall creature - the Mothman - with long wings, red eyes and the ability to predict the future. Character flashbacks and several drawings depict the ancient winged creature.
Gere is good at playing these kinds of roles, and the chemistry between he and Linney is believable. Still, I would have enjoyed seeing more scenes with Messing. Strange noises, jumpy camera angles, scary nighttime shots and a red glow that appears whenever the creature is near create a sense of dread and help deliver an interesting story, but one that leaves a lot of questions unanswered in the end.
The not-so-good: There's nothing worse or more frustrating than a plot that derails near the end, never bringing any closure to the story. Since this mystery is based on actual reports that were never substantiated, I understand how hard it would be to give the movie a satisfying ending. Nevertheless, it leaves the audience hanging.
Offensive language: One "F"-word along with mild obscenities. There's one religious profanity.
Sexual situations: A husband and wife start to make love in house they're thinking of buying, but the realtor interrupts them. A teenage couple (in their underwear) kiss passionately in a car. We see a brief shot, through fogged glass, of a nude woman in a shower.
Violence: A woman wrecks her car and is hurt; strange sounds and voices torment a character; several people are killed as they fall off a bridge; Klein discovers a dead man sitting at the foot of a tree.
Parental advisory: This is an adult story for mature teens and adults who can appreciate an "X Files"-style horror thriller. The rating might attract younger audiences, but the themes are too intense for kids.
Bottom line: Even though I felt a little cheated in the end, I enjoyed this movie because of the fact that it is based on true accounts, which makes it scarier than The X Files.
