OH MY GOSH! What a fabulous recipe, and could it be any easier? This is definitely a "keeper" and company worthy. I served it with my Chicken Parmesan/Panko dish and some steamed broccoli (that also got a "hit" of lemon juice), and my husband raved about it! I used regular whole grain rice and threw in some minced parsley for a bit of color. Beautiful and delicious!

Ten Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week(June 6 through June 12)
Date of News Release: 06/14/11
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that ten people died in nine separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, June 6, through Sunday, June 12, 2011.
Nine of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and six of the victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Boone, Grant, Laurel, Menifee, Monroe, Pendleton, and Wolfe counties. Alcohol was a factor in the Menifee, Monroe and Wolfe county crashes.
A double-fatality motor vehicle collision occurred in Butler County and neither victim was wearing a seat belt.
One ATV involved fatal crash occurred in Whitley County and the victim was not wearing a helmet.
Through June 12, preliminary statistics* indicate that 267 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2011. This is thirty less fatalities than reported for the same time period in 2010. There have been 217 motor vehicle fatalities and 127 of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Nineteen of those crashes involved a commercial motor vehicle. Seventeen crashes involved a motorcycle and ten victims were not wearing helmets. Six crashes involved an ATV and five of the victims were not wearing a helmet. Twenty-four crashes involved pedestrians and two involved a bicycle. One crash involved a scooter. A total of forty fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne will be in Washington D.C. Monday to argue a case in front of the Supreme Court that could impact future voters across the U.S. The attorney general will be arguing that the state's voter ID law should apply to federal elections as well.It's been a point of contention and confusion. Arizona requires proof of citizenship, like a drivers license, to register to vote in state elections. Monday, the Supreme Court is taking up the issue of whether or not states can demand proof of citizenship on federal voter-registration forms.Both forms are used in Arizona."It has nothing to do with Election Day, it has to do with the registration process," said Paul Bender, ASU law professor. Tom Horne will argue, among other things, that the law protects against election fraud, but opponents say it will only disenfranchise voters. "Voting is very important, but when you make people engage in several hours of going from office to office or trying to get a document or paying for it, when you make people do that before they register to vote the problem challengers see is, that's going to discourage some people from voting," said Bender. Arizona's voter ID law was approved by voters in 2004.But last year the circuit court of appeals said the state could demand proof of citizenship for state voter-registration forms. It could not demand proof of citizenship for federal elections, which led to confusion in the 2012 presidential election where some voters were required to prove citizenship and other's weren't, depending on if they filled out a state or national form."The only people this affects are people who are entitled to vote, but are not registered, who might go to register to vote and might be prevented even though they're entitled to vote because they don't have proper identification," said Bender. Horne is in Washington D.C. and is not doing interviews.While he'll be arguing in front of the Supreme Court Monday, a decision is not expected until this summer.

Ireland is officially the third most popular country searched on Facebook so it made perfect sense for Tourism Ireland to reach out their online fans.
In celebration how beloved Ireland is worldwide they asked their US Facebook fans to finish the sentence "I love Ireland because..."
The response was overwhelming. Since May 2010, Tourism Ireland's Facebook fan numbers have risen from 5,000 to 165,000 this October.
Orla Carey, from Tourism Ireland said their goal was to use "social media to inspire potential vacation-makers to visit the island of Ireland, and to stimulate positive word of mouth about the Ireland vacation experience."
The "I love Ireland because" campaign generated 35,000 fans over three weeks. It also shows the true reason why North American visitors continue to come to Ireland.
These are just some of the best entries.
"Your country has ALWAYS called to me..your sweeping landscapes of rich green speckled with whites from happy sheep…music that makes my insides swell with joy! No other place can quite pacify my soul the way Ireland can. Lost in Ireland? Lucky me."
"Ireland feels like a dear old friend…an old friend who greets me with warmth and cheer no matter what the weather is, who serves up the best food and tea ever to cross my lips. An old friend who makes me feel at home so far away from home."
"When I visited I wanted to be as close to the everyday folks as possible. Tourist sites are great for photos but for lasting memories it was the Irish people who seemed so familiar…that's because they reminded me so much of my family."
"It's a place where beauty and serenity, laughter and music come together, wrapped up in myths and legends, and sprinkled with fairy dust and little people."
"The friendliness of the people is absolutely unparalleled and the genuine warmth of a cead mile failte drinking a Guinness by a turf fire and listening to trad music is the best experience in the world."
"It feels like home. The moment I set foot on Irish soil an overwhelming sense of calm and peace overcomes me. In this age of rushing we often forget to stop and enjoy the beauty of this world. Ireland offers this and so much more."
"It's like going home. I have clean air and towns; simplicity at it's finest; warm pubs to talk with new lifelong friends; true quietness when I want it; the bustle of a city when I need it; history, music, art, architecture,and something to do every day."
"On a cold day after overlooking the green hills and amazing views there is always within reach a warm pub, a smiling face, a pint, and a story waiting for you."
"Everything is so green and lush! Here in America something 100 years old is considered "old". In Ireland, you see things that are older than ANYTHING in America!! It is AWESOME!"
"...because it feels like home & smells like a bit of heaven on earth. Around every turn is yet another new reason to smile .. I wish I were there right now."
Ireland announces a global Irish homecoming for 2013
Tourism figures - number of visitors from North America to Ireland up 14 percent

By Christian Blauvelt, Hollywood.com Staff
Brad Bird's tweet over the weekend that he will not be directing Star Wars: Episode VII has left the job of helming the next installment of the most influential franchise in movie history up in the air. Especially when you consider that J.J. Abrams has also all but passed on the project and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy's most frequent collaborator, Steven Spielberg, recently told 60 Minutes he's no longer interested in directing big budget action films. Star Wars fanatic Joss Whedon is already committed to The Avengers 2, which, like Episode VII, is slated for a 2015 release, all but scratching him from contention as well. Then, there are fanboy favorites Neill Blomkamp (District 9 and 2013's Elysium), Christopher Nolan, and Alfonso Cuaron, who seem unlikely to work for Lucasfilm's new parent, The Walt Disney Company. Rather, Disney has shown throughout its history that it likes to hire from within for its biggest projects. With that in mind, we've rounded up what we deem at this moment to be the eight most likely contenders for the Episode VII directing gigcontenders with previous connections to the Mouseand have calculated what we think are the odds of each candidate to land the job. With any luck we'll be the Nate Silver of Star Wars prognosticating.
Previous Disney Relationship: All but single-handedly made the idea of in-house Marvel moviemaking a reality with 2008's Iron Man, the first property that the comics giant self-produced rather than co-produced with another studio (like their previous X-Men films with 20th Century Fox and the Spider-Man films with Sony). Iron Man and its $585 million worldwide box office made Marvel a "must have" acquisition for Disney.
Why He's a Contender: A master of glossy pop entertainment, Favreau knows how to assemble an action scene. But just as important, he knows how to create vivid characters and bounce them off one another with quirky, comedic verve. Just look at 2010's Iron Man 2, which is basically just a screwball comedy starring guys in metal suits trading witty repartee. He could bring a much-needed sense of humor to Episode VII. Better yet, Favreau's already a Lucasfilm vet, having voiced Pre Vizsla, a Mandalorian baddie on Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Read Our Recaps Here!) who remains a major antagonist on the Cartoon Network show as of this, its fifth season. Favreau may also be looking for a new project to get his hands on. Warner Bros. recently put the Jersey Boys adaptation he'd been working on in turnaround. And, come on, regardless of the results, Favreau managed to get Harrison Ford out of mothballs for Cowboys & Aliens. Who's to say he couldn't snag him again for Star Wars?
Odds of Landing the Job: 3-1
Previous Disney Relationship: Took the reins of one of the most unusualand for our money, underratedDisney live-action projects ever: 1991's The Rocketeer. Also directed 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger for Disney subsidiary Marvel.
Why He's a Contender To Helm Episode VII: With films like Jumanji and Hidalgo, Johnston has proven his ability to mix kid-friendly action with grown-up menace, and in The Rocketeer and Captain America he captured a retro aesthetic very much in line with Star Wars' own '40s movie-serial template. Most importantly, however, Johnston is the man who designed Boba Fett's signature armor when he worked as a Lucasfilm production designer way back in 1978. Considering that Fett is on the shortlist of Original Trilogy characters fans want to see in Episode VII, and that Johnston himself has talked about directing a live-action Boba Fett movie, he could very easily be George Lucas' successor in the director's chair.
Odds of Landing the Job: 4-1
Previous Disney Relationship: Filled the Mouse's coffers with $2.7 billion from the first three Pirates of the Caribbean. Now directing the high risk (but possibly high-reward) Lone Ranger reboot starring Armie Hammer as the masked gunslinger and Johnnie Depp as faithful companion Tonto.
Why He's a Contender: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl could have flopped as easily as 2003's other themepark-based Disney film: The Haunted Mansion. But Verbinski took a concept that some found as crazy and laughable as the idea of more Star Wars movies and brought it to vivid, briny life. Regardless of what you think of Pirates of the Caribbean, it connected with a lot of people. However, reports of production difficulties on the set of The Lone Ranger, the budget of which has ballooned to a rumored $250 million, could stymie his chances of getting the gig.
Odds of Landing the Job: 8-1
Previous Disney Relationship: Directed Toy Story 3 and co-directed Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo.
Why He's a Contender: By directing Episode VII scribe Michael Arndt's screenplay for Toy Story 3, he made grown men weep. What better time for Unkrich to make the leap to live-action than by reteaming with Arndt for Star Wars?
Odds of Landing the Job: 10-1
NEXT: Four more contenders for the Star Wars director's chair.[PAGEBREAK]SHAWN LEVY
Previous Disney Relationship: Goes back a long way. In fact, all the way to 2001's Jett Jackson: The Movie, which Levy directed for the Disney Channel. And with 2011's Real Steel, co-produced by Disney subsidiary Touchstone Pictures, Levy showed his ability to invest what could have been a loud CGI pixelfest with real heart.
Why He's a Contender: If Episode VII's emotional core turns out to be a parent-child relationship (maybe that of Luke and his son, Ben), Real Steel's complex father-son story could prove to have been great practice.
Odds of Landing the Job: 15-1
Previous Disney Relationship: Got his start working at Disney Animation for shows like Kim Possible, Teamo Supremo, and Lilo and Stitch: The Series before moving on to become the supervising director for Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Why He's a Contender: With his work on Clone Wars, there's been no one more committed to producing and expanding Star Wars mythology in the last seven years than Filoni. It's also hard to think of anyone else, period, other than maybe John Williams and Steven Spielberg, who's had a longer creative partnership with George Lucas. Since Lucas is still to be credited as a "creative consultant" on Episode VII, Filoni could be the perfect guy to take his ideas and run with them. Also, the example of Andrew Stanton and John Carter notwithstanding, the precision of an animator's sensibility could be perfect for managing all the moving pieces of a Star Wars film, especially if it's a largely CGI extravaganza and thus only a step away from animation as it is. Plus, it almost seemed like Filoni was gunning for the job with an earnest, heartfelt blog post on StarWars.com about his experience working at Disney.
Odds of Landing the Job: 20-1
Previous Disney Relationship: Roused the Mouse's dormant TRON franchise from its three-decade cinematic slumber with 2010's TRON: Legacy to decent acclaim but tepid, just-breaking-even box office.
Why He's a Contender: Kosinski's following up TRON: Legacy with a $170 million sci-fi epic for Universal called Oblivion (Out April 13, 2013), an actioner about a future space marine (Cruise) tasked with obliterating the remnants of an alien civilization. The early buzz is positive and could position him for the space opera of all space operas: Star Wars. Also, if Disney and Lucasfilm intend for Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford to return for Episode VII, Kosinski has shown he knows how to use CGI to shed a couple decades from his performers. Just see the FX-youthened Jeff Bridges in TRON: Legacy.
Odds of Landing the Job: 25-1
Previous Disney Relationship: Currently directing Disney's non-Lone Ranger 2013 tentpole, Oz the Great and Powerful, due in March.
Why He's a Contender:Raimi all but invented the modern era of superhero filmmaking with 2002's Spider-Man and 2004's Spider-Man 2. (We know, we know. The less said about Spider-Man 3, the better). And now Disney's entrusted him with a rumored $200 million budget for Oz the Great and Powerful. If the film's a success, it could show that Raimi is capable of the kind of large-scale worldbuilding essential for bringing that Galaxy Far, Far Away to life. However, it seems unlikely that, after his work on the Spider-Man trilogy, he'd want to take on a second massive franchise. Crazier things have happened, though.
Odds of Landing the Job: 50-1.
Do you agree with our predictions? If not any of these eight, who do you think is most likely to inherit the Star Wars mantle from George Lucas?

After a three-year hiatus from the ASP Dream Tour, the Volcom Fiji Pro will host the world's best surfers from 2012 through 2014
"Fiji truly incorporates our mission statement of putting the world's best surfers in the world's best waves, and absolutely enhances our tour moving forward. I'm confident that all the guys will be rapt about this addition to the ASP World Tour."
photo: Tavarua Island photo: Tom Carey...
There is potential for further extension from the current three-year license agreement.
"Our partnership with Volcom has grown over the last several years from their support of our athletes to the sponsoring of the ASP 5-Star Pipe event and now as a licensee for an ASP World Title event," Brodie Carr, ASP Intl CEO, said.
This is many of the Tours favorite wave in the world including Slater. Be sure to check it out on OC 250 too.
The forecast is excellent for a go on day one of the holding period! with an 8+' local scale SSW; the episode easing into the new week but likely remaining more than contestable into the finish.
Fiji is 22 hours ahead of Hawaii.

From the crunch of gridiron action on the football field to the quiet calm of an early morning staring out at the waters of Biscayne Bay, Tom Smith has seen South Florida from all angles.
Smith, a running back for the Miami Dolphins during the 1973 season, has since become a fine art photographer, with work shown up and down the East Coast, California and Europe. His portfolio also boasts images of the Baltic Sea.
This week, however, the historic Matheson Hammock and its surrounding Biscayne Bay take top billing. The South Florida photographer's shots of the park and bay went on display on the walls of Red Fish Grill, a Coral Gables bayside restaurant that has been housed in the park's coral rock pavilion since 1996.
The exhibit, expected to run through August, is designed to draw awareness to, and celebrate, the fragile beauty of the region. Also, through sales of the images, some of which have been printed onto canvas, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the recently formed Biscayne Bay Coalition. The coalition numbers Biscayne Bay Waterkeepers, Friends of Biscayne Bay and Tropical Audubon Society among its members.
"What I appreciate about his work is that he can capture a part of South Florida that is timeless in my mind," said Hunter Reno, an avid water sports devotee and niece of Janet Reno, the former Miami-Dade state attorney and U.S. attorney general. "I have memories of going to Matheson with my grandmother and I take my children now and it hasn't changed. Few places in Miami feel like that sense of timelessness."
Exhibits like Smith's can inspire the next generation to "understand the treasures of our natural environment, an awareness to the environment we are in, and to protect it," said Reno, 45.
Smith, 63, said his photographs — including a red boat hull bobbing at a dock or majestic palms stretching to support a mass of bruising thunderheads over the waters — seem to inspire an outpouring of stories from natives.
"When people are looking at my photos and they don't know where it is, it dawns on them. 'Is that Matheson?' As soon as I say, 'Yes,' there's always a story that follows. It's always fun sharing something with someone that can relate to your photographs."
On Tuesday evening, about 100 people, including scions from South Florida's most prominent pioneering families — the Mathesons and Munroes — and Smith's Miami Dolphins teammate Eugene "Mercury" Morris, supported the exhibit at a reception at Red Fish Grill.
Biscayne Bay Coalition members, including Hunter Reno and Katy Sorensen, the former Miami-Dade Commissioner and founder of the Good Government Initiative at the University of Miami, also turned out to champion the exhibit and its cause.
"I'm very happy, as the bay has always played a major role in our family's lives, past and present — it's what drew our great grandfather here," said Henry Matheson, 66, a board member of Friends of Biscayne Bay. "I believe it's this community's most important natural resource. And Tom's photographs bring the bay into focus for everyone in a meaningful way."
Fellow Friends of Biscayne Bay board member Charles Munroe, great grandson of Coconut Grove pioneer Commodore Ralph Munroe, spoke about the exhibit earlier in the day.
"Tom's photographs capture the beauty of Biscayne Bay, and consequently this exhibit is an opportunity to communicate to the general public what a special place the bay is. When people connect emotionally to the bay, they understand that it is worth preserving. I fell in love with Biscayne Bay as a kid — sailing, fishing and swimming. We hope and believe that photographs like Tom's will motivate more people to get involved and be stewards of this precious resource," Munroe, 45, wrote in an email.
Smith, who lives in South Miami, estimates he has taken 3,000 photos at Matheson over the last five years. His interest in fine art photography began in 1970 when he was on a football scholarship at the University of Miami, where he studied art and design. The mean season is his favorite time of the year to capture Matheson Hammock and Biscayne Bay at its most dramatic. Just set your alarm clock for early morn' if you're hoping to share a story with the photographer along the bank as he shoots the scene that unfolds before him.
"The best time of year to shoot here is when the great thunderstorms come across Key Biscayne," he said. "I get up at 5:30, get a coffee at Starbucks, sit in my car listening to business, and wait for the sun to come up. I've been coming here since college for 40-plus years. It's a quick exit from the maddening city — a quiet, great place. You don't have to worry about parking, they have trees, the water, you can see Key Biscayne and can see Turkey Point on a clear day. You can see boats on the bay. There's a lot going on here but it's very calming."
Stick around a bit on a midweek morning and you might also spot wildlife. Smith said he's seen a fox running around and dolphins swimming by.
"There's a lot to photograph and you don't have to move," he said. "You can sit in one spot and things go by, the clouds are always changing."
Local historian Arva Moore Parks champions Smith's efforts, along with Miami-Dade County's involvement in maintaining Matheson Hammock which became the first county park when Charles Matheson gave 80 acres as a gift to the county in 1930.
"Matheson Hammock is a paradise in the midst of a lot of development," she said. "They've done a really good job of holding on to its history and natural environment and it's an example of which I wish there were more. There wasn't interest in maintaining the natural environment back when Matheson Hammock was first acquired by Dade County, at the time. For many years in Miami, the mangroves existed only to be removed. Environmentalists realized the interconnection between the bay and mangroves and fish and weather. I'm excited and love having this building utilized."

Mike Preston grades the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills
Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston delivers his grades on the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. YOUR TURN: Grade the Ravens' loss.
Image 4 of 9
Offensive line: F( Karl Merton Ferron, Baltimore Sun / September 29, 2013 )
The Bills had four sacks and the Ravens not only lost a lot of one-on-one battles, but they couldn't pick up the blitzes coming up the middle. Joe Flacco got smacked around like a pinata. Tackle play has been poor all season and guard play has dropped off from a year ago. The Ravens need a lot of help at center. Grade: F.

We recently deployed a couple of PUMA Social aficionados to Taipei on a voyage of discovery. Here are the unearthed treasures from their expedition...
What to eat? With snack shops and stalls every three steps, snacking really opens a window into the local culture. At the end of a great night, when you are feeling particularly bold, try a Coffin Sandwich – a thick slice of bread with a hollow centre filled with a mixture of chicken meat and liver, shrimp, carrots, potatoes and milk, topped off with another slice of bread. Best served HOTTTTT! For local recommendations, watch out for stalls with the longest queue!! ;)
Where to go? Beautiful by day with its mountainous landscape, Taipei really comes into its own at night! A visit to the night markets is an absolute must. Follow this up with an early trip to the Jin Mountain hot springs for the perfect morning after...the After Hours Athletics of the night before!
Where to shop? Taipei loves to shop! Much like our band of PUMA Social brothers and sisters, the Taipei night markets really start buzzing when the sun sets! There are 6 major markets to explore and all within walking distance from an MRT (subway) station. Shilin Night market is the largest and is full of colourful stalls and eccentricities to explore. Of course, your local PUMA store is never too far away... head to the Shin Kong Mistukoshi shopping centre for some great gear in preparation for your big night out.
What to wear? The heat may tell you, you need to wear cool, light clothing, but if you just have to be on trend 100% of your time and fit in with the fashionable locals, we recommend trying a T7 Padded Jacket – you may find it hot, but trust us and you'll definitely be UBER "cool"!
Where to party? Party until the sun comes up with the Taipei Party bus – complete with its own bar and live DJ – taking you right to the door of three of Taipei's most exciting club nights. Baseball is one of the most popular sports, so why not hit a home run and end the night at the 2nd PUMA Uncovered Concert on at the Legacy of Huashan Creative Park!?
...don't worry, 5am cabs aren't hard to find!
What to say? Rú guǒ nǐ yǒu duō de ,qǐng gěi wǒ yī xiē
Translation: I'll have some more of that if you have it – a multifunctional phrase that should prove useful as you take in the great nightlife!
Where are your Taipei hotspots?

The barren, red cliffs watched over the crescent crater
As if they had somehow been separated
Together at one time, but no more.
Now, he simply stands guard like a lazy soldier.
Molokini revealed to me discoveries
Like birds and fish that never exist anywhere but here.
No wonder Kaho'olawe mourns.
The ancient guard was pummeled into volcanic oblivion
Yet arrived solely because of duty.
I've traveled just to see her, to swim at her fingertips.
My daughters smile raised you higher,
If only high enough to touch your guardian again.
Alas, for not.
I am the master, I command you to be present for my arrival.
And forever obedient, you are there.
All the while the red cliffs stare at me with disdain
As I disturb the mistress.
Go away! Oh uninvited! Let us wilt in the sun undisturbed.
I relent my title, I am a mere peasant disguised.
I do not sleep on gold, I only work for it.
It is you that is majestic, you the red-beating heart of these islands.
This tropical cathedral that is yours
Allow me to kneel and pray when I visit, if I may.
This crescent heart is yours.
Kaho'olawe and Molokini

Ephesians it will be
I have decided to go back and read the book that made me fall in love with Christ to begin with a year and a half ago when I decided to truly give my life to Him. This time I will read it from a clean Bible (no highlights, no notes) and just read the words of Ephesians over again as if reading them again for the first time. It is my favorite book and have read it through several times since. But I am going to do it a little different this time. Rather than reading it straight through, I really want to let it sink in and really absorb it.
So I will be practicing the SOAP method. I did this with a Colossians study I did last December and got so much out of it that I want to do that very method with Ephesians so I can really sit and listen to what Christ has to say.
For those who haven't heard of the SOAP method, let me explain. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer. So you hand write the verse/verses (maybe 2-3 a day), write an observation or two about what the verse(s) says/means to you, list one or two ways that you can take the verse(s) an apply them to your life, then write out a prayer over what you just read (or whatever the Spirit is leading you to pray)
I'm exited to start this journey. The journey of falling in love with the creator of the Universe who is love Himself.

"Brooks Bunch Business Bootcamp" Wraps with Success
TAMPA, Fla. (970 WFLA)-Fifth Third Bank (Tampa Bay) and Derrick Brooks Charities recently concluded the first year of the "Brooks Bunch Business Bootcamp" – a financial literacy program for 10th grade students at Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School. Based on exams taken at the beginning and end of the program, the students' knowledge of financial literacy increased by 32 percent.
"We are very encouraged with the results in the first year of the Brooks Bunch Business Bootcamp," said Brian Lamb, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank (Tampa Bay). "The results of the assessment throughout the program clearly illustrate that we are making a positive impact in the lives of these students. The skills the students acquired during this program will help them make sound financial decisions long into the future.
The top two performing students – Arsana Wiggins and Matthew Lozada – each received a Kindle Fire.
The curriculum, designed by Dave Ramsey – personal finance expert and New York Times best-selling author – is titled "Foundations in Personal Finance." Students learned about savings, investment options, debt, budgeting, mortgages, insurance and other financial empowerment topics. A total of 22 students participated in this program and a new set of students will begin the financial literacy classes next year. Tony Sasso, membership banking officer at Fifth Third Bank (Tampa Bay), led the bi-weekly classes.

With the NBA season around the corner, our resident analysts get together to discuss a variety of topics before tip-off. In Part 1 of their 5-part series, Vinny Ginardi, Mike Aurigemma, Michael Cresci, Greg Kaplan and Tom McCarthy discuss the off-season winners last summer.
Vinny Ginardi: I don't think that there is any doubt that biggest offseason winner was the Los Angeles Lakers. After losing in the conference semifinals in two consecutive years, the Lakers needed to do something to try and catch back up to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Well they did that and more by bringing in two-time MVP Steve Nash and the best center in the league, Dwight Howard, all without having to sacrifice Pau Gasol. That gives the Lakers the best core in the league in Nash, Howard, Gasol and Kobe Bryant. It's difficult to project how a team of superstars will coexist, but given how different each player's position is and the general unselfishness that Nash has displayed throughout his career, it's not unreasonable to think that this bunch will be able to mesh right away.
Los Angeles also made a few unheralded moves that make the team even more dangerous. The Lakers picked up veteran forward Antawn Jamison, who even at 36 years old, can provide valuable scoring and rebounding off the bench. He's also a different type of forward than Gasol; while Gasol is a great mid-range shooter, Jamison can stretch the floor even more and consistently hit the three-point shot, which will free up the lane for Howard. He's also capable of playing small forward, which is Los Angeles' weakest position. Another signing that improve the Lakers chances even more is that of shooting guard Jodie Meeks. While Meeks has proven to be inconsistent at times, he gives the Lakers a different type of identity when Bryant goes to the bench. Meeks could see a lot of open looks from three from penetrations by Nash or double teams given to Howard.
Mike Aurigemma: Just for argument's sake, I will not pick the Lakers even though it is clear they had a tremendous offseason. In my opinion, the Miami Heat are right up there with them even though some of the players they got may appear like smaller moves.
When a team with LeBron and Wade is able to add two outstanding three point shooters like Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis around them it definitely appears to be an outstanding offseason. Not only did they get better with the addition of Allen, but they also weakened their main competition in the Eastern Conference by taking him away from the Celtics. This is something that cannot be overlooked and Allen should easily be able to shoot the ball at a much higher clip. Even with these two coming towards the end of their careers the game will never be easier for them. Can you even imagine trying to cover a lineup of Wade, Allen, James, Lewis and Bosh? I certainly cannot.
Michael Cresci: The Lakers demolished this offseason with the same ferocity with which Warriors fans boo their GM.
That's boring though so I'm gonna talk about the Minnesota Timberwolves because I'm in love with their decision to take a flyer on Brandon Roy. If Rubio comes back from his injury relatively quickly and Brandon Roy can be 75% of his peak then the core of Rubio-Love-Roy has a lot of potential. Roy's health as always been a problem but if he can stay healthy then Minnesota snuck a bona fide star onto their team at the 2 guard slot. Kevin Love's stock has been rising rapidly since last season and I still think he may be the most underrated player in the NBA. He brings so much to the table and increased talent on the wing along, with the emergence of Nikola Pekovic as a scoring threat in the middle, should only make him better. Throw in Derrick Williams looking to prove himself (not a lock but he provides another viable body with a lot of upside) and the T'wolves may be building a foundation that can bring them places in a stack Western Conference.
Greg Kaplan: It seems I'm a smidge late to the Lakers love party, so I'm going to throw a curve ball at everyone and say the team that had the best off-season was actually the Brooklyn Nets. When we evaluate which teams had the best off-season, I think we need to look at the complete package. Yes, teams like the Lakers and Heat added significant pieces that reaffirmed their place at or near the top of their respective divisions. However, the Nets were a bottom-feeder last year with seemingly no direction after what many thought was a foolhardy trade that landed them Gerald Wallace for a smattering of unprotected first round draft picks. There was still a ton of buzz around the league that the Nets could or couldn't get Dwight Howard out of Orlando, and Deron Williams was ready to bolt as a free agent and head to his hometown Dallas Mavericks.
And then, something happened. In the 11th hour of what appeared to be a catastrophic chain of events, the Nets shocked the NBA world by trading for Atlanta Hawks star Joe Johnson. The move was clearly bigger than just that, though. Deron Williams has openly admitted that had the Nets not acquired Johnson, he would've been gone as a free agent without hesitation.
While the move effectively removed them from the Dwight Howard sweepstakes, they were able to hold to MarShon Brooks (somehow), giving them a solid three-guard line-up of Williams/Brooks/Johnson and a decent enough front court duo of Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez to be a powerful team in the East. Add that with the new depth on the bench including Andray Blatche (great low-risk, high reward signing), Mirza Teletovic (one of the better foreign imports this year), Tyshawn Taylor (a steal for that part of the draft) and even Josh Childress (the 'Fro lives!!), the Nets are primed for a massive jump in the Eastern Conference standings.
Tom McCarthy: Basketball-wise, the Lakers were the biggest winners. They got Steve Nash, one of the best offensive point guards in history and a floor general that Kobe will actually respect and defer to (sometimes) for basically nothing. And they upgraded from Andrew Bynum to Dwight Howard, again without throwing any other pieces of consequence into the deal, and without taking on Turkoglu or Big Baby Davis. I actually don't think enough has been made of that, because people are greatly overrating Bynum. He might be the second best center in the league, but the gap between him and Howard in terms of basketball ability is much larger than the gap from #1 to #2 at any other position. I know Bynum's post moves are smoother, but Howard still scored more points per game than him, and that was without a Kobe or Gasol to take the double teams away. Also, because Dwight is so much better as the roll man in the pick and roll, he could actually be a better fit offensively for the Lakers than Bynum would have been, and that's not even taking the huge defensive upgrade into account. With all of the good news coming out of Lakers camp about Howard's recovery, this is shaping up to be an awesome year for the storied franchise.

Entente cordiale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Entente cordiale (French for 'friendly agreement') was a number of agreements signed on 8 April 1904 between the United Kingdom and France. The two countries were worried that their two growing empires would cause a war between them. The Entente cordiale was the end of almost a millennium (one thousand years) of intermittent war (they were not fighting all the time). The agreement led to the Triple Entente (including Russia) that fought the Triple Alliance (Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary) in the First World War. The Entente cordiale has lasted until modern times (now).

What's up, folks?
Another big one coming this evening with the two teams with the best record in the East taking the floor. Some gleanings to share
Worth noting:
1. This is just Miami's third road game of the season, having played nine of their first 11 in Miami. The Heat has won both games on the road, at Indiana and Washington.
2. I'm always leery of "Player X does Y when Team Z wins" and not just because I don't like algebra. It stands to reason when the team wins, a player's numbers will be better. I guess causation is the issue. At any rate, one player to watch is Heat forward Michael Beasley. He's actually scored more when they've lost, but been otherwise more productive when they've won.
In seven Heat wins: 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.3 assists 1.0 blocks.
In three Heat losses: 3.3 rebounds, 0 steals, 0.7 assists, .7 blocks.
3. Joe Johnson has had a nice two-game run distributing. It looked to me like he was trying to get other guys going early against Portland. He had seven assists against the Hornets and nine against Portland.
Said Johnson, "I'm just trying to make plays. Whenever I'm drawing two, three guys, I'm just making the easy pass, whether it's a dunk or somebody shooting a wide-open jump shot. That's just easy basketball."
He sounded eager to face up against Dwyane Wade two days after getting the better of Brandon Roy. Johnson's strategy for defending him – "Just try and make his catches tough and any shot he takes, make sure you have a hand in his face."
4. Zaza Pachulia has had a pretty good run, and should see considerable time with 6-foot-8 Udonis Haslem and 6-foot-9 Joel Anthony getting significant minutes off the bench for Miami.
5. On being ranked No. 1 in the nba.com and espn.com power polls, Mike Woodson said what you might expect him to say.
"I don't even know anything about those polls. The only thing I look at is our division. I look at the divisions around us. I could care less about who's ranking what. It doesn't mean a [darn] thing to me, it really doesn't. What's important to me is where we stand in our division and how we're playing as a basketball team."
This may be old hat to you, but he said something this morning that I found interesting about how he views offensive production.
"I don't get on a lot of guys about offense that much, unless they're being selfish. My job is to make sure that they defend and rebound."
5. How Jamal Crawford does after his first single-digit scoring game (2-10, six points) bears watching. I suspect he'll be fine, but will he be more eager to assert himself?
6. A couple links. Shaun Powell's nba.com column on Crawford.
espn.com story on Al Horford.
7. Woodson would like to see you. Monday, Philips was pretty sparse for the Blazers game. Attendance was around 12,000, I think, but looked far smaller.
"All I can say to our fans is we need the support. These guys are playing for something this year. It's fun watching us play and I know the fans are out there and we just ask you to come out and support us. They need it. I think amazing things can happen when the house is filled."
What do ya think about tonight?

10-2. This team sucks. Just wait 'till they play WASHINGTON.
All kidding aside, the WIZ waxed the CAVS and LeBRON tonight. Double thump. Most significant aspect IMO was the total absence of ARENAS end-of-game. EARL BOYKINS carried the mail. BUTLER played great without him in the line-up the last few minutes.

Some observations on tonight's game:
The second quarter showed the Hawks at their finest. That kind of play cannot be sustained throughout a game but is beautiful to watch when it is happening.
The third quarter was rough. After having a 17 point lead going into the quarter the Heat reduced the lead to 7. But the beauty of the night and something no one has commented on so far is that the second team expanded the lead. At one point the Hawks were playing Zaza, JC, Mo and Joe Smith with Marvin as the only starter on the floor and the lead expanded.
Of all of the Hawks the one I am most worried about after tonight's game is not Marvin but Josh. I thought he played out of control at times. He is at his best when he does not try to force things against three defenders in the paint. If I were the coaches I would really praise him for the fact that he was fourth in the league in shooting percentage before tonight's 6 for 16 shooting performance. Yet at the same time most of his misses were in the paint so it is hard to complain too much.
Bloggers were complaining during the game about Marvin being 2 for 9 but he finished with 3 straight buckets to finish 2 of 12. I think his improvement would really put the team into the elite in the East. At the moment they are THE elite of the East but it is a long season and momentum is a fragile thing. If they sustain their play throughout the year then they will deserve any success they may earn. But I think we as fans still have some reservations. But it certainly looks promising at the moment.

K.S. – 1st of all, Ill-Logical made some of the same points I was about to make. I'll not repeat. 2nd Rodman wasn' quite 6-8(closer to 6-6) but thats picking a nit. I emphatically endorse Big Al and Josh who, much like Rodman and Barkley, play bigger than their actual size. I'm fine with those two starting. Would we be better with Josh @ the 3 & Al @ the 4 and a 7 footer who is athletic (Camby in his prime) @ the 5 ?
We don't know the answer. Myself, I like to imagine the posibilities
for the sole purpose of Josh and Al not always being overmatced
[size only], most games. When I talk about the need for a big athletic 5 to roam the middle it is only to enhance what we already have. Much like Jamal enhanced our perimeter play. When I say Al could be an all-star 4, I'm certainly noy advocating the removal of Josh. But more and more it looks like this team can make a playoff run, so I truly believe we need that one additional weapon. Defense more so than offense. Not
arguing, just trying to answer your plea.

Ken Sugiura: I would be very interested in an article about the relationship between Joe [Johnson] and Jamal. Things like their
chemistry on the court, have they hit it off, are they clicking,
that sort of thing. Jamal seems like he is busting his hump to be a good teammate, while Joe is so subdued, they are kind of hard to
read right now. Just curious, thanks.

K.S.: They were switching tonight…I did not watch closely enough
to see if all were switching such as Bibs. What I did notice was
adding the trap out front. That seemed to be a new wrinkle. There are so many ways to be creative with matchups and I'm delighted to see
Woody be a little bit innovative.

hey Ken… have you forgotten the season opener in which JC only took 3 shots and gain 3pts~~~ so last game vs POR not his season-low!!

ILL LOGICAL-are you saying the taller and heftier players Horford and Josh have successfully out rebounded and generally out played during the regular season will suddenly get taller and heftier when the playoffs start? When the Pistons Ben Wallace went up against the Lakers and Shaq, I'm certain Shaq and the Lakers tried to emphasize their height and heft, but to no avail. In fact, the whipping they put on the Lakers that yr cause them to send their tallest and heftiest play, Shaq, packing.
Why would Smoove and Horford stop jumping and using their athleticism just because they're in the playoffs? Their jumping ability and athleticism was sufficient enough to help the Hawks take the much taller and heftier NBA champion Celtics to a 7gm serious in 07-08. I remember the Warriors literally embarrassing the much, much taller and heftier Mavericks in the playoffs, which it cost their HC AJohnson his job.
There have been 2 teams that shared your thinking, and both teams traded for Shaq. The Suns traded for Shaq because they thought they needed to get taller and heftier to compete in the playoffs. They got taller and heftier and couldn't even make the playoffs. The Cavaliers were the next team to buy into that old school way of thinking, and traded for Shaq. Do you think they're anywhere near being the dominant team they were last yr with all that added size?
I remember the Suns playing in the Western conference finals twice, and they went up against teams that were taller and heftier. However, they played their style of ball, and didn't allow the other teams to dictate how they played. In both seasons they were only an injury away, one to JJ and the other to Staudamire, of competing for, and possibly winning, 2 NBA championships. I'm sorry my friend, but I have to disagree with you on this one.
November 19th, 2009
12:41 am
GRANDAD-the type of switching they've been doing defensively the last 4 or 5 gms is different than what they've done in the past. Before, they would switch and stay with the man they switched to, which would leave terrible mismatches, which favored the opposition. Now, they doing what I call COVERING. They switch on the pick, but switch back after the player that got picked recovers. That's why we aren't seeing Bibby caught in mismatches with centers and PF's, or our Bigs out on the perimeter trying to cover PG's and SG's.
As a result, both Bibby and the team are playing much, much better DEF. Our improved OFF, DEF and rebounding will carry us to a very successful season. It's not just Horford and Smoove controlling the boards, but Zaza and JJ are also rebounding better.
November 19th, 2009
12:48 am
GRANDAD-you are correct, Woodson is starting to become more innovative. The traps on DWade were very effective. In last yrs playoff series against both DWade and LJames, Woodson didn't try to trap either one until the last gm of the Cleveland series. Yet, both teams double teamed JJ the entire series. Now that was poor coaching indeed. But this yr, the man is getting his act together, and so are the Hawks.

Melvin I would love to get McGee and let him grow with some of our younger players but I don't think we have anything that would make sense trade wise. I wouldn't be shocked if he continued to get very few minutes and a bunch of dnp-cd this year. Guy has talent but it might take him a while to put it all together but still a nice problem to have in my opinion. I just don't see them trading away a young cheap big but its always nice to dream.
November 19th, 2009
1:46 am
JJ should be a lock for the all-star team. Josh should make it also. Horford may have a better chance than Josh because after Dwight Howard, he's the next best center in the east. Josh, James, Garnett, Peirce, Granger, and Bosh will all command heavy consideration. If the Hawks were to stay in first place till the break, wouldn't Woodson coach the all-star game? I'd like to see four Hawks representing that weekend.

The re-switching we are witnessing is what JJ was saying when he criticized the team for not communicating.

vava- great point on the defensive communication. You are really seeing it payoff. Even more so in the Portland game, when we couldn't shoot a lick, the defense gave us a chance.
Ok, I think we all agree that the Hawks are off to a wonderful, exciting start. Josh and Al (yes, I said Al) are playing at an All Star level. Everyone cast your votes.
On a different subject, much like IMUS previously commented can we get a new color commentator? Love 'Nique, love him, but he is lousy color commentator. He either states the obvious, gets the situation wrong, or says "heat check"
So my question for the group, do you want 'Nique to go? Who would you like? Who is the best NBA color analyst?
My answers are yes, bring back Steve Smith, and Hubie Brown.

CONGRATULATION TO WOODY AND THE TEAM…Another tremendous effort by the HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KenStrick, just to think…people scuff at you…when you said in the off season…the organic growth of the team could allow the HAWKS to compensate for the aggressive moves made by the big THREE IN EAST. Throw in a mix of Vets…doesn't sound so for fetch now…hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Lately, all I HAVE been doing is reading the blog…hadn't had to say much…THE HAWKS ARE DOING ALL MY TALKING FOR ME. LOL

Melvin and cp: I've been calling for McGee since I came on this board.
Granted that's only been a month or so but I have been enamored with him since his draft class came out. He's an athletic big with a tremendous wingspan. Coch 'K' loved him this past summer. It would take a package ivolving Marv most likely to get him. That would delight many on this board. I'm not crazy about breaking up chemistry to add a
piece. However, if Mr. Sund could steal him, he could be what puts us over the top. It's fun to think about.
November 19th, 2009
9:51 am
Like Mike, I haven't posted much either 'cause you guys have already said what I wanted to say. One thing to add though, I think some of the trapping is player driven. Joe Smith is a smart vet and he trapped the guard near mid court a few times last night and I don't think it was by design. The Hawks are looking really good and when/if Marvin gets out of his slump, we great.
Go Hawks!
And if we could still McGee from DC, man I'd make that move.

You guys are 100% right on about the switching D. We were switching last night and we were communicating those switches very well. The lack of communication in earlier games is EXACTLY what JJ was complaining about.
The "re-switching" as Ken called it has ALWAYS been a part of Woody's defensive system, it is up to the players to know the proper time to reswitch and they HAVE to VERBALLY communicate the re-switch (as well as the initial switch) rahter than ASSUMING that know what their teammate is going to do.
November 19th, 2009
11:04 am
Ken: you asked for clarification not justification. I merely stated a point of view; agreement will follow only after enlightment.
Back to our regularly scheduled program. A noted but recently absent participent on this board who has been a regular at the home games shared their observations on the Hawks to date. The strengths are the ability of the front court to run the floor and the shot blocking. The weakness is the middle in their words. They believe that the season is still young but the current trends bode well for the immediate future.
November 19th, 2009
11:23 am
MIKE IS BACK-thanks a lot. That organic growth seems to have extended to the bench as well. Without Woodson's decisions, changes and adjustments, most of what we've accomplished so far wouldn't likely have been possible.
I also remember saying that if we played an uptempo style, it would allow Horford to become a much better center. I don't know of another center that can match his combination of speed, quickness, size, strength and athleticism. DHoward comes as close as anyone. To be honest, my thinking was, running would allow him to become more of a neutralizer to the bigger, taller centers. But so far its allowed him to actually outplay them.
I knew there weren't any prominant players on either the Celtics, Cavaliers or Magic that could match the growth potential, or have as much growth potential as Marvin, Smoove or Horford. The confidence factor, as well as chemistry, were also elements I felt strongly about as far as giving us an advantage over the other teams and their acquisitions.
I expected what we're doing now to take place after the Allstar break, if it was going to happen at all. But Woodson coming out of the gate with his changes and adjustments made it all possible early. It would be foolish to think we'll continue winning at this pace, but we will continue winning. We'll definitely be a much better road team than in the past, while we were good at home last yr.
We should be able to win at least 4-5 addition road gms and 2-3 additional home gms, which would be quite an accomplishment in an improved Eastern conference. Last yr, we got swept by Boston, even without KG for part of the season, and we managed to split a home and home against Portland. This yr, we swept a stronger Portland team, with the addition of PG AMiller and the improvement of C GOden, and creamed Boston in Boston, with KG.
Once the legal situation is resolved with the ASG, the money they've been wasting/spending on attorney's fees can be used on the team. Of course, I know they're not paying all of their fees on they go, but they are playing some as they go. More importantly, it will allow them to make team decisions without needing to get approval from the court and Belkin.
Usually, it's ownership that contributes to bringing a winning team together, but in this case, it might be a winning team that contributes to bringing ownership together. GO, YOU HIGH FLYING HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you making a big deal out of Woody's comments about not getting on guys much about offense unless they are being selfish because he is focusing on defense and rebounding, he is not the first coach to say that and he won't be the last. For a team that is 3rd in the league in scoring and near the top of the league in virtually every offensive category, why WOULD he focus on offense?
Woody knows that defense wins championships and he doesn't want the guys to all of a sudden think their are the Phoenix Suns or Golden State Warriors just because they are scoring a lot of points. Those teams can't win in the playoffs when the game slows down due to the intensity of the environment and the fact that the refs let them play more physically. Those teams can't all of a sudden adapt to a defensive mentality. Woody is just trying to make sure that this team takes on a DEFENSIVE identity.
On the post game show last night, Coach Drew said they always tell the players that offense will come and go because you can get good shots every night but sometimes they just won't fall. You can't control that. However, you CAN control your defensive EFFORT and rebounding EFFORT every night and THAT is what they want the players to focus on. I agree with that philosophy and I think we have the players to implement it.
Looking at our play as of late, it looks like the team is buying into Woody's philosophy as well. The players are always talking about D during their interviews and it is clear they have adapted Woody's "defense first" mindset. We are giving up fewer PPG and we are outrebounding teams on a nightly basis.
First 6 games – 103.8 PPG scored / 102.5 PPG allowed
Last 6 games – 110.1 PPG scored / 95.0 PPG allowed
Looks like Woody knows his team and he knows what he is doing.

ILL-LOGICAL-let's not get hung up on semantics. While it's always an advantage to have a tall, hefty dominant center, it's certainly not necessary to be successful in the playoffs or to win a championship. In the last 20yrs, only the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets and Heat have won titles with dominant centers. The Lakers, Spurs, Pistons and Bulls have also won titles without dominant centers.
Let's face it, if we end up playing the Celtics, Magic or Cavaliers in the playoffs, how much more physical can either team be? Orlando has only 2 players on their roster that can be considered physical, BBass and DHoward. Boston has KPerkins. Neither RWallace or KG are considered physical players. Cleveland has LJames, LPowe and Shaq. I don't see any of these players becoming more physical during the playoffs than the regular season. Shaq's skills are so eroded he can't be anything but physical. How can DHoward become more physical in the playoffs and still play within the rules? There certainly aren't any championship calibur Western conference teams that can be considered physical, including the Lakers.
What the Hawks frontline lacks in heft and height they make up for with speed, quickness, athleticism and energy. They've proven that eary in the season against some of the tallest, heftiest teams in the NBA, like the Lakers, Celtics, Pacers, Trailblazers(twice).

Friday's game with the Rockets should provide an interesting challenge for the home team because the contest will not involve a divsion rival or a superstar opponent but a team hell bent on proving to the world and themselves that they can win without their superstars.
How will our suddenly famous youngsters react to this challenge? Will they assume that they can coast along for three quarters then turn it on or will they become victims of of believing their individual hypes- I'm looking at you Joe the ball hog- and get their lunch handed to them by a team that they are clearly superior to on paper.
Should make for an interesting evening especially since the Rockets aren't a marque draw and the crowd may not reach 13,000.

The Hawks are an elite team. One of the things that I noticed about this team is that the Hawks are finding ways to beat good teams. The wins against the Blazers, the Celtics, the Nuggets, and the Heat were very impressive to someone as skeptical as me. Atlanta plays with a controlled fearlessness and they approach games knowing that they can and will win games. This leap in improvement by this team amazes me.
November 19th, 2009

Nash has rebounded nicely this year. I actually like him but as usual he will get "manhandled" in the playoffs. That's just the way it is i'm afraid but I really love to watch him play.
November 19th, 2009
4:43 pm
DOC-did you notice that backhanded acknowledgement SAMUEL gave Nash? What do the playoffs have to do with what he's doing now? I remember SAMUEL making a big deal out of Cleveland's aquisition of Shaq, which, as he put it, placed them even further out of the Hawks league. His explanation for that belief was Shaq being an Allstar and an Allpro last yr. I also remember him making simularly glowing comments about Orlando and their acquisition of VCarter. Has anyone heard a single word from him about the limited impact either player has had on his respective team so far this season? It's obvious he thinks he's better at predicting the future than recognizing, acknowledging and/or accepting the present.
The Hawks' major acquisition, JCrawford, was labeled by so called experts as an erratic, selfish, undeciplined player that played absolutely no DEF. Yet, he's done more on OFF and DEF to improve the Hawks than any of the Allstars, Allpros and superstars, or any combination of acquisitions, acquired by the top 3 rated Eastern conference teams.
Hell, I even stated how I believed Woodson would do a good job of coaching the team this yr, although I started having my doubts early. I knew he had the ability, because he's demonstrated it on occasions, but not consistently or often. That's why I wasn't advocating he be fired. I just wanted him to do what he's demonstrated he can do on a consistent basis, and he's certainly done it so far this season.
ILL-LOGICAL-I totally agree with your sentiments on tomorrows gm against the Rockets. I see this as another Bobcat type of gm and opponent, only the Rockets are better. Personally, I can't wait to see how we approach and play the Magic, after that preseason ending butt kicking embarrassment they gave us. CONFIDENCE is what fuels us, and will carry us and make us better.

With the aid of his French 'protectors', King
Norodom moved his capital from Udong to the sleepy
riverside town of Phnom Penh in 1866. Though having
served as the country's capital in 1434 - three
years after the fall of Angkor - attempts to rekindle
the former Khmer empire only led to the city's
destruction by the Siamese in 1473. So it was
that French finance and technical know-how were
behind the building of the country's new capital.
Many of the Cambodian styled temples and buildings
were the work of the French and even King Norodom's
Royal Palace was constructed to French design
- atop the site of a former, 19th-century, citadel.
Despite building one of the most colonial of French-colonial
capitals - with its trademark wide boulevards,
mansions and shophouses, France had very little
interest in developing Cambodia, other than as
a potential, but doomed, thoroughfare, via the
Mekong River to China. With their final withdrawal
in 1953, Cambodia achieved an independence that
it had not known for nearly five hundred years.
It was to last less than two decades.
During this time, however, the city prospered
with up to two-thirds of the 600,000 population
in 1970 consisting of Chinese merchants and Vietnamese
workers. But, five years later, the city was almost
deserted; it's inhabitants driven into the countryside
by the Khmer Rouge. Phnom Penh was left to rot.
By the time UNTAC forces arrived in 1992 - after
five years of Khmer Rouge decimation, a decade
of Vietnamese occupation and several years of
civil war - they found a bedraggled city, bowing
under the pressure from the influx of nearly a
million people, and its once-grand plumbing system
in pieces.
Since then, the Royal Palace, the national museum
and Royal Hotel have all undergone substantial
renovation, while the National Bank - blown up
by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 - was rebuilt on the
same site in the late 80s. With the help of a
great deal of foreign aid and private investment
- and if developers can be kept under control
- there is every chance that the capital of the
once-more independent Cambodia will regain its
former beauty.
