GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Wide receiver Greg Jennings enters the 2012 season uncertain about his long-term future in Green Bay.
Jennings' contract is up at the end of the season, and he acknowledges the possibility that he could be playing somewhere else this time next year.
But with the Packers preparing to face the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's season opener at Lambeau Field, Jennings insisted his contract situation won't become a distraction.
Jennings says, "If I'm here, I would love to be here. If I'm not, it is what it is. At the end of the day I'm going to play football, I'm going to play 100 percent every single snap."
Jennings is one of several high-profile players the Packers' front office will have to address in the foreseeable future.

Pruning Mangos
by Jeff Wasielewski
Strong verticals should be removed.
When pruning mango trees, you are trying to maintain height and to improve flowering and fruiting. A well managed mango tree is generally below fifteen feet in height, has a complex structure of branches and has all portions of the tree open to sunlight. It is crucial to maintain the height of your mango tree to allow for ease of fruit harvest and overall management of the tree.
Height can be maintained through annual pruning as well as cultivar choice. Many small stature varieties of mango have become available to homeowners. They have a tendency towards profuse branching and smaller internodes (the distance between leaves) which facilitate maintaining a smaller tree and heavy fruiting. Pruning to maintain height begins when the fruit tree is newly planted. A heading cut (a cut made in the middle of a branch or shoot) should be made at approximately 3'. This cut will encourage the tree to develop three to four branches which will eventually become the scaffolding of the tree. Heading cuts should be applied to the resulting branches when they reach approximately 20". This will again cause branching and should be repeated each time a branch reaches 20". Strong vertical branches should always be removed in favor of horizontal branches. The horizontal branches will help the tree to maintain its height. This type of pruning continues until the tree is about 2-4 years old. Once the tree has reached the desired height, one to two thinning cuts a year should be made to help control the height. Major woody branches are not helping the tree to fruit and can be removed one by one over a period of several years. This will result in the rejuvenation of the overall canopy of the fruit tree as well as help to control the height.
Make your first cut at about 3'.
Branching will occur after cuts are made.
Long branches should be tipped.
Tip long branches at about 20".

In ordering a preteen vandal from Western Massachusetts to get a job, a juvenile court judge opened himself up to some obvious criticism — as did three state Appeals Court judges when they upheld the ruling. A boy known as Avram in court filings was found responsible at age 11 for $1,000 in damage to his neighbors' homes in Easthampton, and was given a year to make restitution. He didn't, so Juvenile Court Judge James G. Collins ordered him to find employment so he could pay. A three-judge appeals panel agreed, urging in an opinion by Judge William J. Meade that Avram try such things as obtaining a paper route or babysitting.
The weakness in these recommendations is that newspapers today generally are delivered by adults on motorized routes, rather than kids on bikes, and that few parents would trust their young children to a sitter who's facing delinquency charges. The boy's lawyer pushed the point further, noting that most forms of labor are illegal for 12-year-olds under state law. Yet despite all that, the judges are right, and a legalistic insistence that Avram couldn't possibly work off his offense would do him — and the juvenile justice system — more harm than good.

Question: Last Sunday's "Hitting the Fan" episode of The Good Wife lived up to the hype. It was a game changer, but I guess it left me feeling slimed. Alicia has always taken a righteous position and walked a fine ethical line. On Sunday, I feel like she fell off a cliff — not only was she a party to trying to download files which I'm not sure is illegal but certainly not ethical (notwithstanding the ends-justify-the-means argument), but she also seemed gleeful about Peter using his political position to her gain. As Will seemed so right to point out, she seems to have no idea how bad she has become. This is not the good wife that I have been watching. What were your thoughts? — Megan

In Saturday's Class 3A-2A state semifinal against No. 11 Winters Mill, his stellar play extended well past the X to help send the four-time defending state champions to another title game.
Jack Adams and Morgan Pritchett each scored three goals and Joe Seider joined Demiris with two as the Bulls improved to 18-1 on the season. They will take on Glenelg — an 11-8 winner against Kent Island in the other semifinal — for the state title either Tuesday or Wednesday at UMBC. It will be a battle of state champions with the Bulls seeking their eighth crown and Glenelg, which captured last year's Class 2A-1A title, going for its fourth.
Shortly after Saturday's win, Hereford coach Brian King was already looking forward to the challenge that lays ahead against the Gladiators, who defeated Hereford, 6-5, early last season before the teams went their separate ways in winning state championships.
"We're really excited to play Glenelg," King said. It was "6-5 last year in an Easter Tournament and they rushed the field on us like they won the Super Bowl, so we've been waiting. It's been 417 days, so we're excited."
After handling Winters Mill, 15-2, early in the season, the Bulls had a much tougher test Saturday, relying on two three-goal spurts to help pull away.
With the game tied at 1 in the final minute of the first quarter, they scored three goals in 15 seconds, Demiris winning consecutive faceoffs and marching down the field for the last two to give the Bulls a 4-1 advantage going into the second quarter.
"We knew possessions were going to be a big key in the game, so all week my coach had me practicing faceoffs while everyone else was doing their thing," Demiris said. "It was just really big getting possessions and then when we could, push it for a fast break and get some quick goals."
The Falcons, who got a four-goal performance from Spencer Love, trailed 6-4 at the half before the Bulls responded with another key stretch in the third quarter. This time Pritchett, Freddy Bryant and Seider scored two minutes apart for a 9-4 lead with 7:18 to play. The advantage was never threatened afterward.
The Falcons close out their season with a 16-2 mark, going undefeated in Carroll County and winning their first region title since capturing the state title in 2007. Winters Mill coach Sal Picataggi was proud of his team's effort and impressed with the work put in by Dimitris, who he said was the difference.
"We had a good game plan in and knew we could score if we had the ball, but the difficulty with them is that they faceoff so well," Picataggi said. "They don't give you a ton of opportunities, so when you have them you almost have to be perfect."
No. 10 Glenelg 11, Kent Island 8: Mark Darden and Mikey Wynne each scored four goals as the Gladiators (17-2) avenged an early-season loss to Kent Island to reach a state title game for the third straight year.
The Gladiators jumped out to a 4-1 lead and were able to stay a step ahead of the Buccaneers (16-3) the rest of the way to advance. Nick Wynne added one goal and three assists and goalie Landry Marshall recorded six saves and got strong defensive support throughout. Glenelg, which captured the Class 2A-1A state title last year, will be seeking the program's fourth state crown at UMBC next week.
"We're just thankful, past three years in the state title game," said Darden, a junior midfielder. "[We need to ] bring intensity 100 percent, picking up ground balls, winning faceoffs [and] scoring second-chance goals could be the difference."
In Saturday's win, one possession late in the third quarter showed how much the Gladiators wanted a chance at another state title.
Looking to add to their 6-5 lead, they won two ground balls to keep the ball and then Darden ended up on his back behind the cage as the ball squirted free with two Buccaneers in the area. The ball found its way in the stick of Mikey Wynne, who quickly found his brother, Nick, on the left side for a goal with 2:46 left in the quarter that started a string of four straight. Kent Island cut the lead to 10-8 with 3:56 to play, but the Gladiators were able to run out the clock with Mikey Wynne scoring on an empty net in the final second to seal the victory.
Glenelg coach Josh Hatmaker was pleased to see a more efficient effort this time against Kent Island, which handed the Gladiators a 10-8 setback on April 7.
"We stayed out of the penalty box and every ground ball was a war," he said. "I thought that was the biggest difference in the game in that we contested every ground ball, we stayed out of the penalty box, and when we had shots we made them and we made them work offensively a lot harder than the last game."

More common, she said, was the kind of housing where residents prepaid for long-term care — which in some cases they never needed.
The size of Charlestown also set it apart, with most other continuing-care communities having several hundred residents rather than more than 2,000. That allowed an economy of scale.
"John Erickson's vision was the middle-aged schoolteacher could afford to go there," Roach said. "The schoolteacher who had a good pension plan, that is, and a house that was paid for."
Currently, according to Charlestown, residents pay a deposit of about $90,000 to $600,000 to move into the campus, refundable after they move out or die, and monthly fees that range from $1,200 to $3,400.
Roach said her department's audits show Charlestown is in good financial shape, and even during its bankruptcy and reorganization, residents barely noticed a difference.
The financial woes were the result of "a perfect storm" of cascading market problems, said Kevin Heffner, who directs professional education at UMBC's Erickson School for Management of Aging Services — which was founded with a $5 million donation by Erickson that was matched by the state.
Heffner said Erickson was in the midst of an aggressive expansion when the housing market crashed. That prompted its largest potential market — retirees who normally might sell their houses to raise cash for the entrance fee to a retirement community — to instead stay put. As customer demand fell, banks grew wary and credit markets collapsed.
Now the company faces a changing marketplace, Heffner said, as the nation's baby boomers approach a time when they will need senior housing but likely will have different tastes than their parents — and perhaps less secure bank accounts.
"They will have high expectations, they'll want more diversified activities," Heffner said. "They'll have higher expectations but a lower ability to pay for them."
Heffner said the trend of longer life expectancies means seniors generally will stay in their own homes for longer, and only enter a retirement community — if they do so at all — when older and perhaps frailer.
He said Charlestown should be able to adapt to a changing population because it offers a range of options in housing and meal plans, activities and other amenities. But it may have to change its model, he said, of a big entrance fee that is 100 percent refundable when the resident leaves or dies to one that has a lower upfront cost that may be less than fully returned.
For Thursday's celebration, members of the community and corporate officials celebrated both Charlestown's past and looked forward to its future.
Del. Steven J. DeBoy read proclamations from the governor and General Assembly, and noted his own ties to Charlestown: His mother-in-law lives there and his now-grown children worked in the dining room as teenagers.
Growing up in nearby Arbutus, DeBoy remembered when the site was the St. Charles Seminary, and seeing priests playing baseball in the field. He reminisced about how, after the seminary closed, the Baltimore Colts practiced on the grounds.
Remaining from the site's seminary days is Our Lady of the Angels Chapel, with a soaring 80-foot dome and beautiful stained glass and statuary. Coincidentally, it too is celebrating a milestone this year, Erickson noted on Thursday: ground was broken for the chapel 100 years ago.
Which makes Charlestown at 30 seem downright youthful.
"I hope I can make the 50th [anniversary]," Erickson told the crowd. "What do you think?"

Despite falling behind 3-0, former Redbird Kyle Lohse hung tough, working six innings, allowing the three runs on six hits with four strikeouts to improve to 9-8 on the season and best his ex-team for the first time. The Brewers offense came to life with a five run rally in the fourth, scoring all their runs with just singles off loser Lance Lynn. Sean Halton, playing first base for Juan Francisco, went two for three with three runs batted in. Milwaukee (55-71) will send Tom Gorzelany to the mound in search of a series win Wednesday afternoon.

THP-India's October 2010 Update to the Global Board
The following are highlights from April-October 2010 from The Hunger Project-India:
1. In July 2010, we signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) for "Strengthening Women's Political Leadership in Local Governance" in five states of India. The first installment of US$500,000, amounting to 70 percent of the annual budget, has been received and distributed to participating states.
2. In May 2010, Karnataka held Gram Panchayat elections. Strengthening Women's Leadership in the Electoral Process (SWEEP) held a pre-election campaign in 53 blocks of the state in partnership with seven community-based organizations (CBOs) and Gram Panchayat Elected Women's Federation of Karnataka (SUGRAMA), and our state-level federation for elected women representatives (EWRs).
3. In September 2010, the new President/CEO of The Hunger Project, Mary Ellen McNish, visited THP-India along with Executive Vice President John Coonrod. The THP-India team updated the new President on its strategies and interventions.
4. We commissioned a review of the past nine years of work in the field. This evaluation aimed to assess our strategies to sharpen programmatic interventions in the coming years

Comments about ZiwiPeak Good Dog Deer Hoof Chew:
OK but not nearly as good as chew hooves. My medium sized dogs made short work of these, and I had to retrieve and discard small pieces immediately.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not good for aggressive chewers
By Molly and Dex's Mom
from East Bay, CA
Not good for aggressive chewers or larger dogs. My two had these devoured within 10 minutes. Definitely a waste of money but...my two dogs obviously enjoyed them which is why I'm giving two stars.

My dog gets passionate about these, Sometimes he "hides" them for a few days, then gets busy chewing them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Good alternative for Rawhide
By Di
from Upstated NY
My dog really goes nuts over these. However, I have found that he doesn't no digest the hoof portion. No problem with the bone, just the hoof. Good alternative for a dog who cannot have beef bones to help w/ cleaning his teeth.
Dogs absolutely loves these

My two Connemara Jack Russell Terriers haven't stopped chewing on these since I first gave them each one. It's a rare chew that keeps their attention so long. I'll be back for more.

The worst Oscar dresses of all time
From Anne Hathaway to poor Geena Davis, we've got the round-up of the worst Oscar dresses of all time.
Philadelphia Zoo uses acupuncture to heal swan's bumblefoot
Dubbed "Bumblefoot," pimply sores form at the bottom of the foot, inflame, harden and crack. Left untreated, the infection can kill. Alternative treatments are too slow, so the zoo thought outside the box. A common occurrence, apparently.

Los Angeles– Zaza Pachulia and Jamal Crawford were back at practice Monday and expect to play Wednesday night against the Clippers.
Pachulia has missed the last two games with left hip pain. Crawford sat out the last game before the All-Star break with a sore left shoulder.
Pachulia had been inactive since playing five minutes in the Hawks' 91-81 victory over Chicago on Feb. 5. He's had trouble with the hip twice this season but said he hopes to avoid further problems by better managing the injury.
"I feel better after the medicine," he said. "I feel good. The rest was good. I just need to keep it in good shape. The last time it happened once there was no pain, I kind of let it go."
Crawford missed the Hawks' loss to the Heat on Wednesday with a sore left shoulder. He said the pain was related to an injury he suffered in 2008 with the Knicks but that he's over it now.
"Everything is good," he said.

I've said it many times, Jamal Crawford is the perfectly tailored suite on a really bad body. As long as he's healthy, the flaws in the Hawks bench become much less profound, but if he goes down for any stretch of time at all, well, the Miami game will play itself out again, and again…
February 16th, 2010

What would happen to Zaza's game if he put on about 20 pounds in the weight room? He doesn't rely on speed/quickness anyway.

February 16th, 2010
6:52 am
i wanted first! oh well. Michael, if Joe left in Free agency would the hawks try to go after a top free agent? my hope is that they keep Joe, but what about Wade, i know Lebron isnt coming here. What about Tracey Mcgrady? he could be a last second thing just to toy around with? just an option. We need to take this one with the Clippers to start off the second half right
February 16th, 2010
7:05 am
Well, we desperately need Crawford healthy for this west trip and an healthy Zaza wouldn't hurt us either.
I hope Zaza comes back re-energized since he has not been consistently playing up to last year's level.
Tracy McGrady? Good grief… Why do you think the Rockets don't want him? It's for a good reason: he has no heart, no defense, no drive, … he is basically a perennial loser.
February 16th, 2010
7:10 am
Carrying it from the previous blog: Nocioni would definitively be a good fit for us, however, we don't have any trading chips to snatch him.
He is the target of many teams since he plays 2 positions SG/SF, is a warrior on both ends of the court, has some post game and is a legitimate 3 point threat.
He is all that we would like Mo to be and unfortunately isn't: a consistent contributor off the bench who does not need shots called for him and is always ready for battle.
Mo has some motivation issues making him a lot less effective than when he does not get starter minutes.
When Mo starts and plays 28/32 minutes he produces, when he comes out of the bench and plays 18/20 minutes he doesn't produce proportionally (most of the time he produces close to nothing on the offensive end).
February 16th, 2010
7:29 am
I wonder if ZaZa's injury has contributed to his inconsistencies this year?
And TMac is always injured too.
If Crawford goes down for an extended period, Hawks are in trouble. Thats why it would be nice to see Sund make a move to upgrade the bench. Unfortunately, we just dont have any trade pieces, so we'll be going to battle with the troops we have now.
I hope Woody gets them refocused, because we can't afford to have any letdowns. We need some blowout wins so that our bench can get major minutes, and hopefully get them going.
Lets start by putting a beatdown on the Clippers tomorrow night.
February 16th, 2010

Yes, ZaZa needs to go Gaga down low and start putting points on the board to draw defensive attention while he's on the floor
February 16th, 2010
8:11 am
@RA…if MC is on the road trip., maybe he stayed up late and posted this blog.
@rob…the funky rules of the NBA salary cap will not allow the Hawks to go after any new max player as a free agent. If the free agent were so excited about the Hawks and able to force a sign & trade, then you could get a big name. Otherwise, no JJ means someone who gets a little more than MLE money, not max money.
The best thing about T-Mac is his $23 mil expiring contract that gives you cap relief (or possibly a chance to go after a big time free agent.)
February 16th, 2010
8:11 am
Definitely agree – we can't go w/o Crawford, Mo pouts, ZaZa has been injured or distracted all year, Nocioni would be great, T-Mac is a bad idea. Kid doesn't care about anything but the $$. No heart, no D, no real effort when it matters.
No matter who signs with Cleveland we have to believe we can beat them. We need a sense of urgency and the confidence to believe in each other. If we can find both nobody can beat us. Right now it's about growing mentally. There's nothing Sund can really do w/o disrupting the team potentially in a bad way.
I think we're ready. Let's enjoy the stretch run regardless of what happens or doesn't happen by Thursday.
The biggest trade aquisition our team needs between now and Thursday is a trade for real fans who support their team down the stretch. Let'em hear you at the games!
February 16th, 2010
8:27 am
The Hawks need to go after a ligit Big down low. A real 12-10 guy who can bang down low. Let Al play the 4 spot.Its not rocket science to figure this out.
February 16th, 2010
8:40 am
Hey MC,
Is it just me or is there something fishy about Crawford's shoulder injury? I mean it kinda came out of nowhere, right before the All Star break, then we get a cryptic explanation. I am not speculating about what it really could be, but I have to be honest there seems to be more to the story. If it is as simple as a "private" matter, I can live with that, but tell me what do you think is going on?
Fundamentals- Love your post, but I would say it is not unreasonable to think the Hawks could add a player to the bench who is bought out of their current contract. i.e. a Mike Miller, Drew Gooden(not real interested here). Theoretically an adjusted salary for 30 or so games for a vet would only be a few hundred thousand. (I know easy for me to say right?)
Slo-Mo: Please, please, please….. We really don't need more theoretical, hypothetical trade scenario's. OK, I mean why not just say… We need Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash and Lebron James? It is not Rocket Science.
February 16th, 2010
9:16 am
As always, I enjoy reading your posts cause u ask the same questions I have. I wondered the same thing about Crawford's "mysterious" shoulder injury. I believe Sund had something to do with it. It would have solved 3 things for Sund. 1) Could Joe Johnson carry the load for a win against an under 500 team in Miami w/o Crawford to see if we really need to overpay Joe this off season, 2) Is Crawford really our 'bench' and not just a sixth man candidate, or 3) is Woodson not using the bench that Sund provided him this past off season correctly enough for an extention. Sund would have killed 3 birds with 1 stone if this is the case.
February 16th, 2010
9:18 am
I believe if the table was turned and Joe Johnson was out with a "shoulder injury" and Crawford played, The Hawks would have won. Hands Down!!
February 16th, 2010
9:21 am
Ms Dee- I always like a good conspiracy theory, but that would suggest that Sund could make all those judgements on just one game and that he actually has that kind of player control. I think it has more to do with Jamal personally, needed some extra time off, family issue(?), etc. I certainly don't think anything sinister about Jamal, though. But, it is weird. C'mon MC enquiring minds want to know.
February 16th, 2010

I posted the following comment on the Fan Nest blog on 2/13. It was a cut and paste from an article on Hoopsworld.
February 13th, 2010
11:09 pm
"The losing situation might motivate Howard, Gooden or Singleton to accept a buy-out at a slightly reduced rate while Ross still has some value on the trade market if Washington wants to go younger. Ross, however, can veto any trade since he signed a qualifying offer over the summer. Mike Miller, Mike James and Fabricio Oberto are three more Wizards who might be candidates for a buyout." – Hoopsworld
I wouldn't mind seeing the Hawks persue Mike Miller and/or Drew Gooden if they are bought out…
February 16th, 2010
9:28 am
My point #2 would be if Sund needs to truly upgrade the bench a little more if Crawford is all we really have in a bench. And point #3 is if Sund need to really look for another coach to take the Hawks to the Promise Land because Woodson refuses to use the pieces we already have in a team. Sund may feel insulted b/c Woodson doesnt use what has been provided for him properly. Sund than may want him gone just like BKnight did.
February 16th, 2010
9:33 am
Ms. Dee- I hear you.
Melvin- I would love to be able to pick up Mike Miller if he were bought out, but now that the Wizards have unloaded with the Mavs will they still be willing to buy them out? Or would Miller be packaged with Jaimison to make a trade work or sweeten the pot?
February 16th, 2010
9:34 am
I hear what u are saying but I dont think the judgement is based on 1 game but many cause Jamal has outscored Joe in serveral games coming off the bench. This 1 game just may have proved a point to Sund, Joe Johnson, & Woodson in a nut shell.
But you may be right also if Jamal have personal reasons to miss the game, but why lie that its an injury if it was truly family reasons?? This is why I find it hard to believe. I guess we will never know.
February 16th, 2010
9:58 am
That article was after the Wiz/Mavs trade. Not sure if they would buy Miller out but if they do, I hope we would be in heavy pursuit of him. We could really use his outside shooting in Woody's jumpshot offense.
February 16th, 2010
10:01 am
From last blog: Tony said "trade Joe for Bosh the enforcer". Lol! And he actually had the nerve to start Bibby and Crawford in the backcourt. Wtf? It wouldn't matter if we had Oakley and Laimbeer in the post with those two trying to guard the perimeter. And btw, where in the hell is Acie Law? No wonder Woody went with T "dribble, dribble" Lue and Anthony "I'm old enough for social security" Johnson. lol! And for the zillionth time, Josh Smith is not a sf.
February 16th, 2010
10:02 am
Everyone is yapping about the Hawks need for another shooter. They have plenty. The problem is that they are doubled up (Joe, sometimes tripled) by opponents. Without the benefit of a true Big, the shooters can't get loose. We are fortunate to have the 3rd best record in the East. With a Big, we could be first.
February 16th, 2010
10:07 am
Fundamentals, people said the same thing about Jamal Crawford before he came to Atlanta. He had no heart, only cared about the $, played no defense, and no real effort when it mattered. Now he's one of our best players. Get off McGrady's ….!
February 16th, 2010
10:09 am
The Hawks have plenty of shooters? We've got plenty of guys who like to shoot. But shooters?
February 16th, 2010
10:15 am
I don't know why, but I have very little confidence in Sund and the ASG that they will spend the extra money needed to bring in a veteran who gets bought out somewhere else. And if they do bring somebody in, I have very little confidence that Woody will utilize them correctly.
Mike Miller would be a good pickup. The irony is Marvin was supposed to be able to knock down the jumpers more consistently, but he's been inconsistent this year. Hopefully Marvin gets it going, because he might have to be our shooter for the rest of the season.
February 16th, 2010
10:15 am
Daniel, MsDee,
That conspiracy theory does not make any sense and the answer is in your own posts:
If someone needed an excuse to get Crawford a day off, the simplest thing would be to invoke… personal reasons and not an injury.
Lingering shoulder injuries can easily flare up if you sleep in the wrong position and in order for it to get back to "normal" (which is usually only 95% normal) and avoid aggravating the problem you need to REST.
Right now, I would even consider Mike James as a nice pick up if he still had something in the tank (he's 35):
He is not a real PG but he can(could) score in bunches and people tend to forget that he was FUNDAMENTAL during a couple of games Pistons championship run doing a "mini-me" impersonation of Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson.
This could be a "deja vu all over again"
I'm delirious… forgive me…
February 16th, 2010
10:16 am
terrell- Crawford had a rap for being a poor defensive player and a streaky scorer, but he always had a great rep as a teammate and person in the community. He also has had no significant injuries. T-Mac on the other hand has been oft injured, critical of teammates, considered soft and expendable by the team that signed him to "superstar" money. Very different reps and players and situations. Not a fair comparison.
February 16th, 2010
10:20 am
Yes T, they have enough shooters…the Hawks avg. the second amount of pts per game in the East. Scoring is not the issue.
February 16th, 2010
10:26 am
Let me be more specific. We need a shooter at the backup SF spot with size and capable of scoring off the dribble. Mike Miller anyone…
February 16th, 2010
10:37 am
The Hawks cant shoot their way to the Finals without defense. Defense wins championships!
February 16th, 2010
10:55 am
I hear what u are saying also, but never be fooled to believe the impossible. You would be surprise what people (in business) would do to get something done or to prove a point.
February 16th, 2010
10:57 am
Anyone remember the discussion herre last January/February about Josh's trade kicker in his contract? Remember why that was even being discussed? Because several were disappointed in his performance after signing a $58M contract and were trying to figurte out if we should trade him.
February 16th, 2010

I played basketball in my prime in college against the elite women basketball teams..business deals went on that was not right but it happened.

I constantly change my opinion about this Hawks team and what they should do, from trying to look at things from different angles.
I was a guy a constantly saying we should make a move too, maybe we should? But I think now I can see a way the Hawks can seriously contend with the team we have now…with adjustments
1) Play with heart and intensity the entire game…..I'm so tired of hearing them say "we just didnt play with energy tonight" in post game interviews.
2) Woodson needs to learn how to use his bench bigs more effectively. When we seem to be getting bullied in the paint, bring in Randmo and Collins. Perhaps they can solve or atleast slow down the problem by putting a big body on whoever the person is that is causing us problems down low. Atleast use those 12 Fouls.
3) Crawford and Joe need to go strong to the hoop more when the jumpers arent working. They both are gifted offensively and can get to the rack, but both rely heavily on jumpers. When crawford does drive to the rack, he goes strong and thats cool. He just needs to do it more when the jumpers arent falling. Joe can also get to the rim but strays away from contact and sometimes forces those floaters at bad angles. He needs to take it up strong sometimes and get to the rim for 2 freebies or an AND-1. This particularly needs to be done when the Js arent falling and the other teams seems to be picking up momentum to build a big lead on us or greatly chop into one of our leads. This would also be useful in the 4th quarter, or any spot when the Hawks desperately need buckets.
Make these adjustments and we should be a contender.
February 16th, 2010
11:12 am
MsDee and others, do you not realize JJ had the flu and should not have been playing in Memphis and against Miami anyway? That man plays with heart, and plays sick or hurt, give a guy a break.
February 16th, 2010
11:12 am
Dammit Woody, put me in the game…
February 16th, 2010
11:17 am
Dammit Teague, hit a jumper in practice at least once a week. And can you learn the plays, too? Did you go to Wake Forest Community College?
February 16th, 2010
11:22 am
What about those game when he is healthy and Jamal is scoring more than him from the bench?? What about last year when he was healthy and he never showed up for us in the playoffs?? Yes, Joe is a great player to have on our ball club, but dont make him to be a saint on this team cause he is not. Joe needs others to out-do him 1st b4 he shows up in a game. Jamal had to put fire under his butt to perform, Al Horford also put fire under his butt in the All-Star game b4 he showed up. Joe is not a self-motivater, therefore he shouldnt get paid like one.
February 16th, 2010
11:29 am
Ok Ms. Dee, how many double and triple teams has JJ faced in the playoffs? How many did he score in game 7 against Miami last year and who carried the Boston Series the year before that? Jamal scores more because he has the ball in his hands and does not play against a double team, just watch for next year, players tend to revert back to what they really are.
February 16th, 2010
11:29 am
Also, check the record from last year MsDee, Joe, Marvin and Al were not healthy.
February 16th, 2010
11:41 am
This is what I think the hawks should do………….
Re-sign Joe. Get ride of Marvin and Bibby for as much money as you can. With the money they get from those two, get D WADE.
This would be your starting 5……..
2. Jamal Crawford
3. Joe Johnson
4. Josh Smith
5. Al Horford
Then you have there backups………..
1. Jeff Teague (you have to give him time to make him better)
2.Moe Evans (or get read of him to, and sign a new younf player
3.??????????? (this is the only one i am not sure about
4. Joe smith (just intil the draft, then you get a new player)
5. ZaZa Pachulia
All in all, it is not going to matter who every body wants, if the owners of the Hawks (or the people with all the money for the Hawks) dont take a chance, and spend some extra money, they will never be any better.
Am I the only one that noticed, but whats up with all the sports owners in Atlanta. They never want to spend any money to have a better team. You would think after so many years of being so bad, they would do any thing to be better. Oh well………..
February 16th, 2010
11:41 am
A normal tactic against a dominating big man is to use the people on a bench to but a body against the opposing big guy to hopefully wear him down physically. You can do that by using the big men on the bench and the 6 fouls that each has.
When was the last time the Hawks used that tactic?
February 16th, 2010
11:44 am
lets be real now
February 16th, 2010
11:47 am
J.J.M. ………….whats not real about it?
February 16th, 2010
11:47 am
I think that's the problem with the Hawks. The organizations focus is not the championship.
The Hawks players, coaches, GM and ownership are more concerned with doing enough to be competitive, and not to win the championship.
Even if Cle, Bos, or Orl didn't add a soul to their rosters they would give the Hawks fits in a 7 game series because the are more concerned about winning it all.
February 16th, 2010
11:51 am
Marvin can't be traded until next season, and who would give a quality player for an aging point guard that just signed a new 3 year deal.
Your option sounds good in theory, but does not make good basketball sense.
February 16th, 2010
11:54 am
Some of you are well-rested from your ASG break and are once again sounding like fans of the Nets as opposed to fans of the #3 seeded team in the East (and one game behind 32). Seriously, take a breath and remember that we are 3 seasons removed from scouting lottery-level picks.
February 16th, 2010
12:00 pm
MsDee, Joe was injured in the playoffs last season. And Joe did do a pretty good job on Wade (or as good as can be done) when he was called upon. Is JJ worth max? No, but I do think he's worth $16-17 mil a season. But at the same time I would ask him would he rather make 17 a season, or make 15.5 and have Sund able to get one or two more veterans for the team.
February 16th, 2010
12:04 pm
Astro, astro, astro- I keep reminding you that there is no place on this blog for patience, big picture thinking or reasonableness. You must panic, you must come up with crazy unworkable trade scenario's, you must state the obvious to try and look smarter, and you must have an agenda (besides just rooting for the Hawks) something like, it's all….(woodson, joe, bibby, marvin) fault or its all about MINUTES!! or well you get the point.

Green Bay, WI (WTAQ) - A 27 year old employee of Green Bay's Pilgrim Lutheran Church and School is under arrest, facing a list of charges ranging from 2nd degree sexual assault of a child, to using a computer to facilitate a sex crime.
Brown County Sheriff's deputies arrested Wayne Makela on Tuesday.
Deputies were initially notified of a possible assault involving a 13 year old boy at the school by the child's parents. That came when they found suspicious text messages on his cell phone.
Investigators believe the relationship between Makela and the victim had been going on for several months.
The school has been co-operating in the investigation. Authorities are keeping the investigation open in case more victims come forward.

We stayed the night before at Hotel Milano in Old San Juan. Very happy with the simple room, wonderful service, and great location. Enjoyed Old San Juan all day with a self-guided walking tour. Highly suggest spending some time in this quaint location! We did not board the ship until early evening. There had been long lines early in the afternoon we noticed when we were still touring San Juan, but by the time we got there we just walked right in. (Good thing because it was pouring down rain!)
The whole embarkation was new to us, but it was a piece of cake. We were very lucky with our room. We did not know what we would want since this was all new, so we just took what we got. We were on the 8th floor which gave us beautiful views. We were in the back of the ship. Actually we were right under the pizza place. Amazingly we never had excess noise or any issues at all. We had all 4 of us - teenagers 15 and 18, mom and dad - in one room. There were bunk beds for the teenagers. The balcony was worth every cent. It offered amazing views, a little extra space, and quite a lot to watch on the port side.
We picked this cruise so we could get off the boat every day and see something new. I wrote all about each days excursions! There are some wonderful choices with this cruise. However, due to our very busy and active excursions all day we did very little on the ship. The kids did not go to any of the teen activities nor did we see any of the evening's entertainment. Sorry! We did use the pools and the workout facilities. We were surprised how small each of the pools were. The ship's dEcor seemed a little tired, but that did not affect our joy of the cruise. We were exhausted for all of the fun in the sun! We did eat each evening in the Pacific dining room. We are kind of foodies, so we were a bit disappointed the food was never tied to the day's location. But that probably would not appeal to the masses. The food was just fine though. The staff was always friendly and helpful in every way. We are a bit addicted to our Diet Cokes, so we bought two of the soda cards and got to know several of the bar staff quite well!
We have never cruised before, so I was more than a bit concerned about getting on and off the ship at each port. It was so easy! Hardly any lines - unless you needed to be off the moment the ship ported. Very friendly staff - especially Hector! Each day was a new experience. We were hardly on the ship during the day. We spent all day in the port, boarded, and got ready for our late dinner seating. Getting off the ship back in San Juan for our early flight was again no problem. The San Juan airport on Sunday morning takes an extra dose of patience, but that is understandable. I thought this would be a once in a lifetime experience, but we all had so much fun, I think we will cruise again!

The New York City Housing Authority announced that it will be giving rent adjustments to people in developments that were severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy.
Residents will receive a rent credit for any days they were without essential services such as electric, elevators, heat and water.
Officials say the credits will be included in the January 2013 rent bill and the NYC Housing Authority is asking that residents continue to pay their normal rent until the credits are reflected on their bill.
Some people are upset that it is taking until January for the credits but the authority says it is going to take that long because of its computer system.

When my kids play in our sandbox, they occasionally find a treasure. Sometimes it's an army man or a Hot Wheels car, other times a colorful rock. I don't particularly view these as treasures, but for my children they are fantastic finds.
Jesus tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure — a treasure more wonderful than any other. Its value is supreme. It's worth everything you have to possess it, and it's worth every effort on your part to obtain it.
For most people, the treasure of the kingdom of heaven is not recognized for what it's worth. But what I find even more disturbing are believers who have recognized the treasure of the kingdom but are unwilling to live fully and completely in the Spirit of Christ. They instead remain unwilling to let go of their sin and selfishness in exchange for the treasure that awaits them.
For the believer and nonbeliever alike, the kingdom of heaven is one of the most accessible, yet often most ignored, blessings in this world. Like colored rocks, army men or even Matchbox cars, this treasure is available to all who seek after Christ with childlike hearts.
My friends, I encourage you to abandon the temporal treasures of this world and embrace the eternal ones found in Christ Jesus. Hear the words of Jesus speaking to you today:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." — Matthew 6:19-21

Police are looking for the suspect in an armed robbery at Swafford's Amoco in Poplar Bluff Friday night.
According to the Poplar Bluff Police Department, around 8:50 p.m. officers responded to a report of an armed robbery in the 1300 block of N Westwood Boulevard.
Employees told officers that a white male described as being 5' 10'' to 5' 11'', 210-220 pounds wearing a Carhartt jacket and a Halloween mask parked a white SUV in front of the front door and entered the store.
The suspect displayed a handgun and demanded the clerk give him cash.
When the clerk did not respond to the suspect's demands quickly enough, he discharged the weapon twice, once into a display and once into the floor.
When the clerk gave the cash to the suspect he went back to his vehicle and fled the scene.
The suspect was last seen on foot around S 11th and US 67 approximately 30 minutes before the robbery and officials say the vehicle used in the robbery was stolen at that same time.
A little while later, officers responded to a report of a white SUV on fire in the intersection of Abbey Road and Iron Bridge Road in Poplar Bluff.
The Poplar Bluff Fire Department responded and put out the fire.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Poplar Bluff Police Department at 573-785-5776.

The 4-letter word that can ruin your credit
Here's what you can do when it's making a mess of your financial life.
Four-letter words can ruin a lot of things in life -- a nice family dinner, a job interview, your relationship with your mother. But there's one four-letter word that can wreak such havoc on your life that you won't be able to live in the place you want, drive the car you prefer or even get the cellphone plan you like.
That word is debt.
Debt is the quintessential American experience these days: most people sign up for it at the age of 18 (or even younger) in the form of student loans; we use it to buy cars, which depreciate in value almost immediately; it underpins, for better and sometimes worse, our housing market; and, increasingly, Americans take on credit card debt to fill gaps in their budgets and even just complete purchases.
All told, the average American today owes about $225,000 in debt, in a country where the median household income is just barely more than $53,000. The average credit card debt alone, for those who carry it, is more than $15,000.
While access to credit enables us to carry these kinds of debts, they hurt our ability to gain access to more credit -- so the big-screen television you buy today could well be the one thing that prevents you from getting a mortgage on the perfect house next year.
A thousand cuts
Emily Gould's great essay on Medium this week highlights just how easy it can be to generate life-altering debts with a few small (but daily) decisions. In her case, she quit a full-time job to write a book, but didn't give up the spending that the full-time job had enabled: she kept an apartment by herself for longer than she could afford, kept up her coffee-and-bottled water habit until, by her own admission, she didn't have the cash to buy it and even continued to see a therapist who didn't accept insurance until she was nearly $2,000 in debt to her own doctor.
Gould isn't alone in many of her choices: Talk to anyone who got themselves into a massive amount of debt, and it was rarely any one big purchase (though it is often massive medical expenses, which is one reason that it was smart for Gould to keep paying for her own health insurance). Instead, debt usually piles up in hundreds of small increments, followed by incremental rolling interest payments and the accumulation of even more debt, until the credit card companies cut you off and the collectors start calling.
What Gould doesn't mention is that racking up debt can have implications far beyond the hit to one's self-esteem and sense of security. Indebtedness has a direct impact on your credit score (and perceived credit-worthiness) and, increasingly, a bad credit score can impact your life in a variety of unexpected ways.
Want to rent a new place? A bad credit score might keep a landlord from offering you a lease. Itching to buy a home? A bad credit score can keep you from qualifying for a mortgage at all, or will significantly increase the interest rate you are offered. Looking at a new car? Your bad credit score will definitely hurt your ability to get a low-priced auto loan and could even keep you from lowering your insurance rate.
The impact of your debt-related credit score doesn't stop there. Your utility company could force you to pay a deposit to turn on the electricity if your credit is bad. A cellphone company might do the same -- or refuse to offer you a two-year contract with a cheap cellphone plan.
Facing reality
So what can you do if you're already mired in debt? First, check your credit reports, which are free yearly with each of the major credit bureaus, make sure you understand what you owe, and correct any errors. You can also consider a free service, like Credit.com's Credit Report Card, which updates your credit scores monthly.
Second, start paying down that debt, no matter the daily sacrifices you have to make. There are various schools of thought when it comes to reducing debt and each one has its positives and negatives -- but pick one and get started.
Finally, make a plan for when you are finally debt-free: Identify the spending behaviors behind your debt and make sure you don't fall back into bad habits. It's no use getting out of debt to improve your credit score, only to turn around and scuttle all your hard work because you miss that daily latte.
Though talking about your debt in polite company isn't as likely to raise as many eyebrows as some other four-letter words we all know, it is the word most likely to have lasting consequences for your life. So make sure you use debt as wisely and judiciously as you would an f-bomb -- sparingly, and only when it's really important for what you want to accomplish.

Of course you have to manage that leverage wisely but if done correctly, can lead to huge gains.
This is just for business-not your personal finances. In fact, I would recomend that you stay under a 10% debt/asset ratio for any unsecured debt in your personal finances. Anything larger will expose you to risk that you might not be able to control.

Remember when you could get a cassette player with auto reverse as an option in your car? That was high tech in those days. Press the fast forward button (without eating your tape) and you now have access to what could be the greatest piece of automotive technology, out there, Ford's "Synch" system.
It was part of the package on the Ford Taurus Limited I recently tooled around in. It's so cool; the Taurus was named the "Official Car of the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show".
Before we go for spin and get into everything Synch can do, we need to look back at the evolution of the Taurus as it's important to see why the new car is ready to take on all comers in the "full size" sedan class.
The Taurus was a hit from the go for Ford. The first Taurus rolled off the line in 1985 as a 1986 model. Ford sold more than 200,000 that year. Over the next 5 years, just over 2 million Taurus' were sold with that body style. A makeover that ran from 1992 to 1995 resulted in 1 and a half million Taurus being sold. You can see where this trend is headed. In 2008 the Taurus moniker was dropped and replaced with the name 500. That change lasted for a year. Ford realized they needed to breathe new life into a former best seller and their flag ship sedan.
It starts with a bigger & bolder redesign. This is a good looking car. The so called "powerdome" hood alone gives it a beefier, more muscular look. Underneath that dome is a 3.5 liter V-6 churning out 263hp. The car looks big and it is. The trunk is massive. It's so big you could forgo the spare and park a Fiesta back there instead in case you break down on the side of the road.
Inside is where you get to have some fun. The Sync technology is the highlight of the car. If you want to make calls, change radio stations or work the GPS all you need to do is press a button and tell the car what you want to do. There are times when the car didn't understand what I wanted and I had to repeat myself. In some instances it was quicker to just dial the phone.
Synch can also keep you posted on all your cars vitals, receive audible text messages keep you up to date on personalized information like horoscopes, (the old horoscope calendar I imagine) let you know what stocks are falling, what movies are playing, even get you hooked up with airline and hotels. It does it all. As for the rest of the interior, it doesn't leave me as wowed.
The leather is of nice quality and the seats are very comfortable and highly adjustable along with being heated and cooled, which is an interesting backside experience. The gauges are laid out nice and with Ford's "Ice Blue Lighting" look great, but the fake wood looks fake, very fake. In this case I prefer the interior to go au natural. Controls and dials are laid out well but you control them from what looks like some sort of driver's side capsule. The curves in the "Flowing 38° center stack" center stack, and mere size of it, separate the driver and passenger in an odd looking, futuristic twin pod like fashion. This could be good if you want to keep your distance from your passenger as there is plenty of room between you and the person to your right.
This isn't a plus or minus to the car, but one thing I don't understand is why Ford made paddle shifters an option on the Taurus. It's a big sedan, not a zippy little sports car. The average age of the Taurus driver is 58, and I'm not sure how many 58 year olds are going to be flicking through the gears. If you are, good for you.
Should you opt for the "Selectshift Transmission" take note, the paddle shifters are set up in a non-conventional fashion. In most paddle shifter set ups the left paddle is used for a down shift and the right is used to up shift. In the Taurus, you pull back on either paddle to go up a gear and press down with your thumb to down shift. It works, but with an odd feeling. Perhaps the shifters make more sense in the much sportier and faster 365 HP SHO variant.
One redeeming interior feature that has no other function than to look cool are the adjustable color interior lights. You can flick between red, blue, green, white or pink. Changing colors is as simple as pressing a button. If you're doing a color swap with the car in park the shift lever partially blocks the button making it difficult to change. I really liked the way the blue made the interior look. My two girls both liked the pink. But since dad was driving and I liked the blue, pink it was.
The ride quality is very smooth and handling is decent for a car of this size. And the engine delivers enough pep for all your passing and stop light to stop light needs. If you plan on taking a long road trip this would be a good car to do it in.
Gas mileage for a car of this size isn't bad either. The EPA says you'll get 17 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway. I squeaked out 20mpg combined.
The base price for a standard Taurus is a right around 25k, but start throwing options on like collision warning, all wheel drive, blind spot information, rain sensing wipers and chrome grill and exhaust caps you'll push the price into the low 40's.
After turning in the keys I'm left with this; it's a good looking car, loaded with all sorts of bells and whistles, roomy and drives nice. Perhaps 20 years or so in the future I'll be on board with sitting in a pod, plus I'll be old enough to fit in with the Taurus generation.
Pick your options and build yours here.

EA is the company we love to trash, but I think they've been doing a really good job at listening to us with respect to glitches and annoyances over the past few years, and really have tried to improve the product.
Most of us recognize the visuals can only be improved so much year after year (not referring to new animations…I just mean the "wow" factor or eye candy that the graphics provide can only go so far) so the real improvement can only come in so many flavors (modes, AI, animations etc.).
Online seemed slower in NHL12 than it did in 11, but with fewer glitches (fewer). From the painfully slow default settings in 13's demo, you can still see work has been done in the AI department, and I just hope that the claims EA has made about NHL13 are as evident (to the astute player) as advertised.
Now, here's hoping our digital players don't get locked out…that would be realism that we can live without.
