Syrian State Control over Power Stations Loosens
Syria has decided that its new power generation projects will be established on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis, in sharp contrast to the past, when state control of such strategic sectors as electricity was regarded as untouchable, according to Gulf News.
"Our government's policy is that we shall not privatize existing power plants but that new ones can be built as Independent Power Projects (IPPs) on the BOT basis," Zaki Odeh, General Director of the state-owned Public Establishment of Electricity for the Generation and Transmission told the Emirati paper.
The new era of Syria has seen major shifts in its economic policies. Private ventures are being licensed to operate in the socialist country, and the first stock market in 40 years will soon be operating – Albawaba.com

You've watched from the sidelines as the perceptions of other farmers about GPS technology evolved from "It'll never work" to "I wouldn't farm without it." You've observed your neighbors, studied their fields and done your homework. It's time to write some checks and bring GPS technology to your farm.
There will be challenges. There will be times when you'll want to pitch all the displays, wiring harnesses and owner's manuals out of the cab and go back to "just farming."
But there will also be a moment when you push a button and the tractor, combine or sprayer starts laying out precise, straight swaths and you'll want to stand on top of the cab and shout, "I'm king of the world!"
It's a big jump from sitting on the technological sidelines to that moment of triumph. To help take the plunge into this technology, here are 12 things you need to know before you buy a GPS system:
The basic concept of GPS technology.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites to calculate the precise location of a vehicle, piece of farm equipment or hand-held receiver on the face of the Earth.
GPS systems have multiple uses on modern farms.
There are many ways farmers can use GPS technology on the farm:
Yield mapping blends on-the-go yield data with GPS information to create maps that show how yields vary across your fields.
GPS-based guidance systems help direct machines through fields, eliminating the need to follow rows or use mechanical or foam markers.

Peter AltremThe Hidden Secrets of Tires.
Tires are hiding lots of engineering secrets inside their black rubber casings, and the variations in tire builds are endless. Even the black rubber itself is full of high tech and carefully guarded secrets. Each component in the mix contributes a specific set of properties that the manufacturer wants in the finished tire. The hidden secrets of modern tires are very difficult to uncover even when the tires are worn out.

The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) is the first statewide research survey of its kind to measure information on critical health conditions in Wisconsin. Findings from SHOW present a comprehensive picture of the health of Wisconsin residents, helping to identify needs and target resources where they are most needed.
The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin is funded by the Wisconsin Partnership Program and is under the direction of Dr. F. Javier Nieto and his team at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
Statewide Fanfare for SHOW
The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin began 2014 data collection on July 21 and the Wisconsin State Journal featured the work on the newspaper's front page. Read on for the full story about SHOW's work in 2014 in Dane, Racine and Wood counties.

The latest traffic figures from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) show mixed results during June 2009 for the world's airlines, but even the most positive interpretation of them would suggest no more than that the deterioration of market conditions has slowed somewhat.
AIN Air Transport Perspective » July 31, 2009
In the weeks following the June 30 crash of one of its Airbus A310s off the coast of the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean, Yemen flag carrier Yemenia became the poster child for questionable airline safety standards. The accident, in which 154 people died, provoked renewed calls for a global blacklist of operators deemed to be unsafe.
Global airlines are still suffering reduced demand for flights, but the Virgin Group's dream of launching passenger flights into space has received a boost in the form of significant new investment from Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments. The Middle East firm will invest about $280 million to take a 32-percent stake in Virgin Galactic, valuing the subsidiary at almost $900 million.
At face value, Europe's EADS group appeared to come off slightly worse than its U.S. rival Boeing from financial results announced in late July. EADS reported a 23-percent drop in operating profits for the first half of this year, compared with a 22-percent decline at Boeing over the same period.
Boeing has given itself until the end of the third quarter to publicly outline its latest plan to get the 787 Dreamliner airborne and certified. Given that it can ill afford further false dawns with this troubled program, the U.S.

Veteran slugger Paul Konerko is returning to the Chicago White Sox.
The team announced Wednesday that the six-time American League All-Star agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract, opting to play another season rather than retire or sign elsewhere.
The 37-year-old Konerko will receive $1.5 million in 2014 and $1 million in 2021 under the deal. He will also be paid $1 million annually in deferred money from 2014 to 2020 under the contract he signed in December 2010.
In his 15th season with the White Sox, the 37-year-old Konerko batted .244 with 12 home runs and 54 RBI in 126 games in 2013.
White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn called Konerko an "extremely important member" of the team's lineup.
"Paul needed time this fall to step away, think about his situation, and reach his own conclusions. We are very pleased that he has decided to come back for another season," Hahn said.
The Sox have also signed 26 year-old Jose Abreu, a young first-baseman from Cuba who was expected to take over Konerko's spot at first.
Acquired from Cincinnati in 1998, Konerko ranks second on the franchise list to Frank Thomas in homers and RBIs. He dealt with a back issue last season and batted .244 with just 12 homers and 54 RBIs.
"I'm looking forward to coming back in a new role where I can help both the organization and my teammates get turned around in the right direction and also do some productive things on the field," Konerko said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Awesome way to get 7 people around in style by HJ on 09/07/2010. Trim: 2010 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Premium quattro, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Great power for a car this size off the line. Getting 30mpg if I'm real light footed on the highway. Fit 8 adults in the car the other day for a short drive and still got some bags in the back. The look of the car is great with all the interior and exterior lighting options.
Cons: You really feel the size of this vehicle in mid speed turns. It may be the drag on the 20" or the quattro trying to figure out why you're going around a highway on ramp at these speeds, but I do feel the car slow a lot by itself during these turns. Only other gripe is that this is a BIG car. But you should've known that before buying it.
Overall review: I would definitely recommend this car over the x5 diesel if you're looking for more room and comfort. I only wish they made a RS version with the twin turbo v10 or brought the diesel v12 to the states.

Polar Bear Kills 1, Injures 4 In Norway
August 5, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
TROMSO, Norway, Aug. 5 (UPI) — A polar bear killed one member of a British group traveling in Norway and seriously injured four others, authorities said.
The bear attacked early Friday in a remote wilderness popular with tourists, researchers and adventurers, a spokeswoman for the governor's office in the Svalbard district told the BBC.
The five had been traveling with a "British group" but it had not been confirmed if they were U.K. citizens, she said.
The governor's office confirmed four people had been airlifted to a hospital and the bear had been killed following the attack.
The U.K. Foreign Office said its embassy in Oslo is "urgently" looking into the incident.

It's quite a task for The Blues as only twice in two years have PSG been beaten by two clear goals or more John Terry and Thiago Silva lead the teams out Frank Lamapard outjumps Marco Verratti during a pretty frantic start in the middle of the park. Chelsea start to harry PSG, here their keeper Salvatore Sirigu is closed down and then bundled over by Samuel Eto'o As the first half canters along the visitors start to look quite comfortable but Cavani spurns a good chance for PSG to put this tie to bed when he slams a free-kick from a good position, into the Chelsea wall How costly that free-kick might be as just after the half-hour mark Chelsea take the lead. There's a long throw from the right, which David Luíz flicks on, and Andre Schurrle sidefoots in from eight yards Job half-done, Chelsea need one more to go through Cavani attempts to bring the ball under control as PSG attempt to get back in the game. Half-time score Chelsea 1-0 PSG The PSG players come together for a team huddle before the second half starts Lucas falls over John Terry's outstretched leg, the ref tells the PSG player to get up and get on with it Chelsea have had the better chances in the second half, Andre Schurrle's pile driver of a shot smacks against the woodwork Then a couple of minutes later a free-kick from Oscar cannons off the bar too Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho rushes to get the ball back into play David Luiz gets stuck in Demba Ba comes on for Frank Lampard, much to the disappointment of Thiago Silva Then with three minutes to go Ba disappoints the whole PSG team and their fans when he scoops the ball home from six yards out and then wheels away in celebration. Chelsea are in the lead on away goals! Pandemonium as the players and fans celebrate. Jose Mourinho pegs it down half the pitch to issue tactics for the remaining few minutes to preserve their lead Heartbreak for Edinson Cavani and the rest of the PSG players Chelsea withstand a few half hearted PSG's attacks in the remaining minutes and then the final whistle goes, a famous victory for Chelsea Two of Jose Mourinho's "real strickers" celebrate Jallet is devastated.

4 things to know about Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Google unveils big improvements for the next iteration of its mobile OS.
Jelly Bean upholds the Android tradition of food-related naming conventions, and is "fast, slick, and feels like what [Android 4.0] Ice Cream Sandwich" should have been when it launched half a year ago, says Armando Rodriguez at PC World.
Incremental improvements to the operating system help iron out many of the more noticeable wrinkles, and new animation gives the user interface "a more polished look."
Here, four notable features.
1. Vastly improved voice search
You can tell Google went "all out when it came to mobile search," says PC World's Rodriguez, and a new voice command function takes advantage of Google's unparalleled search capabilities. To use it, you simply say "Google, [insert question]."
This isn't just a "gimmicky" Siri knock-off, says JR Raphael at Computerworld. Google's new voice tech "blew me away" with its speed and accuracy. For example: When asked how tall Adam Carolla is, Google called up his photo and height while reading the results out loud. When asked about nearby Thai restaurants, it presented a map and pinned down local spots.
2. Google Now
This new feature contextualizes old data to feed you fresh information based on your current location, time of day, and search history, says Bloomberg Businessweek. For example, once you swipe into Google Now, "if Google knows you commute to work at the same time every day, it will provide a card showing how long it will take you to get there, offering faster alternatives if the usual route is slow. ... If you're catching a flight, it will tell you if the plane is delayed, what terminal it's in, and when you should leave."
3. A less fussy camera
One of the more annoying aspects of Ice Cream Sandwich: You had to exit the Camera app to see photos you'd already taken. Now, you can just swipe the camera screen to view your photo galleries.
4. Better notifications
"Notifications have always been one of Android's strengths," says Computerworld's Raphael. Now they're much stronger, and allow you to instantly access several facets of a notification. For instance, users can tap into a meeting reminder and immediately email everyone who's invited to tell them you're running behind.
The new notifications also integrate Google Plus, says CNET. "For example, when a notification of a Google+ update arrives from a contact, a person can tap its +1 button or share it."

1972, American Psychiatric Association
In 1965 psychiatrists in the Soviet Union began an experiment in emergency psychiatric ambulance services. This system has the following advantages: Immediate treatment is provided; physicians rather than police bring patients to the hospital; information can be gathered from "significant others" at the crisis scene; and feldshers (medical workers) assist psychiatrists. The author raises several questions about the provision of emergency psychiatric services in the United States and concludes that we have much to learn from psychiatrists abroad.

Greetings, all-
Perhaps the craziest thing about this game is that the Hawks were up 12 at one point. It's almost unbelievable given the way the second half played out. Which, as you know, probably even better than me, is how a lot of second halves seem to play out.
Al Horford: "We've just got to share the ball. I think at times we do it, at times we don't."
Jamal Crawford: "I think we have to learn to handle adversity. I think that's our final step in becoming a great team. … We have to learn to take a team's best shot and bounce back and withstand whatever run they have and come back and win."
Josh Smith: "Sometimes we fight back, sometimes we lay down. I think it's too late in the year to be inconsistent. We've got to know what we're going to get from each other. We've got to play hard every night."
- Team Jump Shot collapsed against Denver, which kind of plays like you'd hope the Hawks would play – moving the ball, transition game, putting pressure on opponents defensively, several players who can score (maybe this is where the Hawks are not so much like the Nuggets).
The Hawks didn't make jumpers and failed to re-direct their focus on getting better shots. This might explain it. The Hawks took 19 shots in the paint before halftime. They were down four points and Larry Drew felt they were fortunate to do so.
"It's plain and simple, which I told them at halftime," Drew said. "We can't come down and take a bunch of long shots. We have to establish an inside game."
With that message ringing in their ears, the Hawks took 21 shots in the third quarter. Two of them were closer than 10 feet. It bears mention that they actually shot really well in this quarter – nine for 18, including three of seven from 3-point range.
It's kind of the trap with this team. Periods or games like that serve to reinforce the notion that they can thrive as an outside-in team.
- Smith missed seven of his first eight and was pulled. I don't know that I've seen that happen this season that quickly.
Drew: "Their game plan, obviously, was to give us the perimeter shot, but we have to establish ourselves more in the low post."
I asked Smith if he was surprised when Drew took him out in the first quarter. He said no.
"When somebody comes and gets me (to take him out of the game), as a teammate, I just sit down and understand what I'm doing wrong and try to correct it when I get back in the game."
Smith's shot selection (4-for-16) was the most obvious thing about his game. I think it should be pointed out that he also got to the line more than any of his teammates, had nine rebounds and three blocks. And I think his knee is limiting him. All that to say, he is more than his shot selection, but his shot selection certainly is a considerable part of his game.
- Zaza Pachulia continued to earn extended minutes. He got 33 minutes and finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds, both team highs. It's the first time he has led the team in scoring all season.
"Zaza played a [heck] of game," Smith said.
- The team made little effort to push the ball. The Hawks had 21 fast-break points against Milwaukee and 13 against Denver. In the Lakers game, the last one I covered, it seemed like the team was intentional about pushing the pace – running hard up the court – with every miss or turnover. I saw little of that effort against Denver.
Offensively, the ball just didn't move well. When it did, getting out of double teams into rotations, the shots missed.
"We became pretty easy to defend," Drew said.
Horford: "I think that when we play the right way, like yesterday, everything was great. Today, we get away from things we're successful with and we struggle."
- Defensively the Hawks gave the game away in the fourth. Shortly after getting to within three points, the Hawks allowed Denver to score on 11 of 12 possessions, a lot of them on secondary-break situations. A lot of open looks on 3-pointers. Drew called it "poor." I imagine you all might have other words, but poor is a good start.
- Three players scored in double figures off the bench – Pachulia (19 – he was a ridiculous eight for nine), Crawford (6-for-13 for 13) and Marvin Williams (four for 10 for 10). Hawks only used nine players – Hilton Armstrong, Jason Collins and Josh Powell all received DNP-CD's.
Regardless of how the Hawks played, the Nuggets are quite a team. They've got scoring options all over the floor and are on a remarkable hot streak.
"This is a team that's playing rejuvenated," Smith said. "You really don't know where the offense is coming from because they have eight guys scoring in double figures and they look like they're in sync right now and they're definitely playing defense and helping each other out."
Asked what would happen if the Hawks played like the Nuggets, Horford replied, "then I feel like we would be a better team and we would be playing like that."
Miami comes to town Friday. I suppose if you are a glass half-full sort of person, then perhaps you think the best thing about the Hawks' inconsistency is that they can win after stinking up the joint. The Hawks have beaten Orlando (twice), Chicago, New York and Portland after losses.

HAHA @ "Team Jump Shot"
Great line Ken S.
March 17th, 2011

"Denver, which kind of plays like you'd hope the Hawks would play – moving the ball, transition game, putting pressure on opponents defensively, several players who can score"
Real talk.
In fact, forget the entire team playing like the Nuggets; if even a couple of Hawks played like their Nuggets counterparts, this team would be so much better.
I stopped commenting on the previous blog at halftime thanks to my screen name getting stolen, but I spent the entire second half watching Lawson and Felton driving hard off their screens with a full head of steam and Nene making strong, decisive moves in the paint. All I could think the entire time is if the Hawks used Teague (and to a lesser extent Kirk) the same way as Lawson (screen for him and get him to go hard into the paint off the screen) and Al played with the same mentality as Nene offensively, this team would be so good that they could probably win despite Smoove having a horrible offensive game like he did in this one.

"It's kind of the trap with this team. Periods or games like that serve to reinforce the notion that they can thrive as an outside-in team."
Damn right it's a trap. And everybody in the arena and at home can see it. If Josh makes a few early shots, expect a lot of them to go up. If JJ hits a 3, he'll start jacking too. Same with Jamal.
The team just settles for the easy way out too much. Sometimes, you just have to take the action to people and draw fouls. But on "Team Jump Shot", everybody loves the 20 footer . . from the center down to the PGs.
We survived Josh's cold streak, then JJ went on his. Horford didn't touch the ball, nor try to grab offensive boards. And we didn't well defend at all in the 2nd half.
Another bad home loss for a team looking for some respect, and an identity.
LOL . . everytime fans want to get back on the bandwagon, they jump off again when the Hawks play sorry.
Philips will be rocking on Friday night. Let's see if the team will rise up . . or lay down.

I realize LD's a rookie coach and is going to make rookie mistakes, just like a rookie player would. But when he refuses to learn from his rookie mistakes, that is when he becomes infuriating. It hasn't even been a week since the Hawks lost to the Bulls due in large part to LD playing Jamal at point guard against a quick opponent who seized on the opportunity to take over the game. So what does LD do? He benches his defensively solid back court and rolls with Jamal at the point for the majority of the second half, and predictably Lawson and Felton got whatever they wanted.
LD's substitution patterns are just plain insane.
March 17th, 2011
1:29 am
Also, I get called out occasionally on this blog for defending Smoove, so for those of you who do so here you go. I'm not going to waste my time defending him on a night when he was horrible offensively and didn't make the necessary adjustment to his game when he noticed his shot wasn't falling until it was too late. He did a nice job crashing the boards but his foul trouble prevented him from doing much defensively (especially in the second half when he provided zero resistance) and he didn't start going inside until it was too late to make a difference. He's going to get the lion's share of the blame since his mistakes always look worse than everyone else's mistakes, but whatever. Tonight, he deserves it.

LD as usual never took any blame. I wished someone would call him out at not having jt or kh in at the 4 th quarter. JJ ruins any team play pounding the ball & forcing the ball. The difference between us this game was our lousy coach
March 17th, 2011
1:34 am
Fire LD trade Josh Smith problem solved.
March 17th, 2011
1:35 am
With that said, there's plenty of blame to spread around.
Broadway Joe from the Bucks game returned to being Average Joe, and it is the same damn story with him. Dude killed at least three or four possessions where he could have made a decisive move or taken an open shot by holding the ball and allowing the defense to reset. He makes it so much harder on himself when he insists on grinding the ball movement to a halt as he sloooooooowly tries to decide what to do.
Same usual story with Al Horford. Yeah, the Hawks should feed him more, but he needs to quit passing up opportunities to score too. It's admirable to want to be a team player and make the extra pass, but at some point, he needs to understand his teammates and adjust his game accordingly. The most efficient offensive player on the team shouldn't pass the ball when he gets the ball in an area conducive to him scoring. Be like Nene. Get that ball and either make a strong move or use that top-10 mid range jump shot.
Teague has played outstanding D in every game since the Bibby trade except the two games against the Nuggets. Tonight, like the game at Denver, he was only OK defensively, and for the most part he didn't play very well offensively. He's gotta start learning how to finish more aggressively at the rim and draw some fouls.
Same usual story with Jamal. Stretches of great offense negated by sustained bad defense.
Nice games from Kirk (when he was allowed to play) and Zaza (despite not being able to contest anything at the rim as usual, he still played a solid game). Another solid bench performance from Marvin.

When everyone was on their 'We Want Woody' chant in the last blog, it reminded me of the highlights I had watched prior to this game of Game 6 of the Hawks vs. Heat in 09′, don't know why I was watching this? The Heat came out swinging and the Hawks fell down early in the 1st qtr. Woody called a timeout and chewed Josh out making Smoove looking like he wanted to cry. This is what I wish someone would do to the kid, get his mind right, how can LD let him keep shooting when his only 4 makes were from 10 ft or closer?
March 17th, 2011
1:39 am
Also, I wouldn't use this game as a referendum on this lineup. It's entirely possible the Nuggets are just a bad matchup for this team and this lineup will work better against other teams. I am still a little wary of Joe having to guard LeBron for the majority of the game, but I'd give it at least another week and a half or so before making a judgment.
March 17th, 2011
1:41 am
""When somebody comes and gets me (to take him out of the game), as a teammate, I just sit down and understand what I'm doing wrong and try to correct it when I get back in the game.""
Much like LD, at least he's saying the right thing. But much like LD, his actions (at least in this game) belied his words.
March 17th, 2011
1:41 am
Teague played good D again tonight. He was not on the floor when the team lost the game in the 4th by letting Felton run the same play every time. Finally, that's what PG's do, they fine something that is working and milk it without the coach telling them to. Jamal has never done that, Bibby has never done that and Teague is not being given a sufficient chance to do it. These team is not going to cause me to lose sleep. New GM, Owners, and coach all needed. Then move to the players.

Finally, I will never understand why our supposed offensive genius of a head coach won't run more pick and rolls with the personnel he has now. One super quick point guard, enough shooters on the wings to spread the floor, and two athletic front court players who can both pass and finish. Seems like the ideal personnel with whom to run pick and rolls all day long, and seems like a pretty surefire way to get Smoove and Al in the paint more often.
March 17th, 2011
1:53 am
Props for LD, he didn't play Josh Powell. That's one of the few things LD has gotten right on rotations this season.
Jamal at point and presto! We get blown out.
Jeff Teague 0 turnovers. And the last time Ty wasn't in double figures scoring was also against ATL, Feb. 28. Felton wasn't either. Teague/Hinrich play Ty/Felton about as well as anyone lately.
March 17th, 2011
1:55 am
MC, in his "Teague's Time" blog post, made mention of theories by the blog peeps that LD played Bibby because he was worried about his job security. He made a good point about LD's predecessor's failure to utilize Teague, and that being a contributing factor in his downfall.
So I'd like to present you with a new theory. This shall be hereafter entitled, "Teaching how to quit: How Larry Drew's entitlement issues affect his player rotations."
I believe that the incident of Larry Drew II quitting on North Carolina in the midst of contending for an ACC championship sheds a lot of illumination on not just Larry Drew II's character, but the character of his biggest influence, Larry Drew, Sr.
Roy Williams told reporters that when LD Sr. called to inform him his son was leaving North Carolina, he was told the decision was final and there was nothing further to discuss. Some on this blog have questioned my contention that LD Sr. advised his son to leave North Carolina. If LD Sr. wasn't telling his son to leave, wouldn't he at least have told his son to try working things out with Williams before he quit?
So LD II leaves North Carolina, which goes on win the ACC regular season championship behind the play of his replacement, freshman point guard Kendall Marshall. Days later at his 21st birthday, LD II takes the mic to rap about his former squad. Among his lyrics:
"They tried to tell me just to play my role … but who wants to stick with a script full of typos?"
Clearly, LD II's actions are the result of selfish motives. But his actions are more destructive to his NBA prospects than coming off the bench would have been. Just ask former North Carolina sixth man Marvin Williams. He has now demonstrated to the world that he would rather cast away something millions of kids can only dream about, the chance to win multiple NCAA basketball championships, because he lost a starting position he felt entitled to.
This reminds me of when I was an assistant coach for my little brother's 10-12 year old church league team. The most talented player on the team was also the tallest, and he wanted to play point guard… not because he wanted to distribute the ball but so that he would have the ball in his hands and could look for his own shot whenever he wanted. When the coach insisted that he play center, where he could both score and collect rebounds, the child announced that he was quitting the team.
The coach then relented and allowed the child to play point guard for the rest of the season, against my advice. I remembered thinking what a horrible message this sent to all the kids on the team. Here was a kid who would always have a sense of entitlement. Through his actions, the coach had assured that the child would never understand the concept of team.
LD II's actions, and the bad advice he received from his father, cost him the best opportunity he had to gain exposure and possibly capture the attention of NBA scouts. Only by playing on the biggest basketball stage could he hope to emerge as an actual NBA prospect.
All of this leads me to question if LD Sr. belongs in the position of a head NBA basketball coach. If he teaches his own son to quit, how can he teach the Hawks to succeed? LD's insistence on playing Bibby starter's minutes long after his skills had declined below an NBA level now appears to me to have been motivated by a sense that Bibby was entitled to those minutes. Henry Bibby would never have to make the call to Drew that Drew made to Roy Williams.
And I imagine how that call would have gone if I had been in LD Sr's shoes:
"Hello, coach Williams? I wanted to let you know that my son is extremely upset about losing his position as a starter. I wanted to ask you what we can do to help my son learn to deal with adversity and become a man. By the way, thank you for taking my call. You are a basketball coach of vastly greater stature that I will ever attain."
Instead, LD Sr called Williams to say his son was leaving, and there would be no discussion of the decision. LD II wrote himself out of Williams' script full of typos, and ensured he will always be remembered as a quitter. At least Williams knew how to spell "ACC Champions."

He has also demonstrated that when faced with the opportunity to sign a multi-year multimillion dollar contract at age 20, he won't pass it up, just like 99% of the world's population. Marvin was all but guaranteed to be a top 5 pick in 2005. He would have been insane not to jump to the NBA. Ask Matt Leinart how passing up being a top 5 draft pick for an extra year in college worked out for him.

I'm far from the first to say this but the Hawks play with a mindset and stubbornness that totally defies logic. They know that every team in the league knows what the Hawks are going to do. All teams know that if they can make it tough for the Hawks inside early in the game that, like Ohm's Law, the Hawks will always take the path of least resistance and stand on the perimeter jacking up jump shots which is exactly what every other team wants them to do.
Last season the Hawks were able to run the break effectively to change the style when needed from their half-court offense, but this season that strategy when employed has been working against them as they have become a turnover prone team after being one of the least turnover prone teams last season.
The obvious thing to all that they should be doing is to establish the inside game and work the ball inside out but they haven't shown the mental or physical toughness to be able to do so. Also, the fact that they go long stretches where they just quit playing defense makes it very difficult for the Hawks to avoid losing games.
The promotion of Larry Drew to Head Coach has not served the team well. It's plain to see that the Hawks don't listen to LD any more than they did to Woody last season. And now the Hawks players are back to pointing the finger to blame other teammates for their losing ways the same as they did last season when things weren't going well. Al Horford is right. "There's no question something needs to be done." Unfortunately, I'm not counting on a whole lot being done about anything regarding the Hawks right now. I very much hope that I am wrong. After all, this is the same team with the same players that won 53 games last season. Get it together, men! Please.

Hey 71 yr old Rusty
If you wer born in 1930 or 40 or whatever,
in what city did you see Babe Ruth pitch?
in other words what team was he pitching for?
I'll give you time to look that one up on the internet, as well.
I guess you didn't feel like looking for any world events.
What year did we land on the moon, Rusty?
Be careful, it's a trick question.

You may be on to something.
My son just finished playing collegiate basketball.
As a father, I would never intercede and do his talking for him.
note *[not saying I never spoke to the coach on a professional level]
However, part of learning to be a man is letting your son grow up.
If he quit, then Son should have talked to RW man to man.
[not on the phone]
Once again, if LD1 had a conversation with RW fine,
but, when it comes to nut cuttin' time,
you must let your son grow up.
Is this a "Drew family character" problem ?
His handling of the team makes one wonder ?
Time for LD1 to nut up !

If Larry Drew (Sr.) lacks character, then maybe unemployment will help to build some character. Make it happen, ASG.
March 17th, 2011

Great post Buddy Grizzard. You dug deep on this one and exposed a possible and potentially serious character flaw.
I am tired of complaining redundantly and LD's redundant mistakes in game-planning, adjustments, substitutions and commanding respect.
March 17th, 2011
4:26 am
Hopefully, first the ASG getting bought out. Then, new ownership installs new GM who will want his own coach. Clean house. What we have now is disfunctional. GM gets guys who never play. Coach names captains who don't do what he tells them. This mess needs a new broom, starting with the top.

The jordan crawford trade will go down as the worst thing this franchise has done it even will eclipse marvin because marvin was scouted highly and kirk is just a trade chip. Gave wizards the best back court wtf

Last night game was the reason why they need to trade Josh Smith and get a center.
March 17th, 2011

- Smith missed seven of his first eight and was pulled. I don't know that I've seen that happen this season that quickly.
No you haven't seen that this season.

Typical Hawks loss. The night after Joe gets everyone excited – he craps the bed. What a dumpster fire his contract will be for this franchise. The post game quotes from game 68 are the same we heard after every loss. "We ought to do this, we ought to do that." It is so depressing. If the Hawks were a college team, they would be the one that "didn't belong" in the field of 68. Where are their quality wins? In Miami, o.k. 1. You see how they've done as "strength of schedule" has increased. Inevitably, they will blow this team up, new coach, dump Marvin, but without resources to sign anyone of fan interest, and the lame draft for 2011, more of same looms. The Hawks are overlooked for a reason.

Did anyone happen to watch the NBA TV replay of the '95 Bulls/Magic game yesterday? Amazing stuff.
After watching this and then watching the Hawks/Nuggets (along w/ the MIA/OKC game) later, I felt like I was watching the NBA and then later a couple of average church league games.
In the entire first half of the Bulls/Magic game, I only remember around 3-5 total shots being taken from outside of 10-12 feet by both teams combined in the entire first half!
Jordan was an unreal defender. His ability to get through/around picks was unlike anything I've seen by anyone in todays game. He literally played the entire floor defensively and had an absolutely sick ability to recover from virtually anywhere. The fluent, cat-like manner in which he moved was almost frightening. There is no comparison between Jordan and any of today's players. Period. None. Not even close. There's light years between him and Kobe, James, Wade, etc.
Either of those teams would have destroyed the elite teams of today. Today is church league by comparison. It's not just the Hawks, the entire NBA product is in serious decline. Man, what a rude awakening.
Enough with the jumpers, NBA. Even little girls can shoot them.
March 17th, 2011
7:35 am
Team loss tonight, from the HC down. I still dont understand why we are losing so many home games. The ASG needs to have a talk with the coach and the players to let them know that losing home games will not convince fans to come watch them play.
The problem for the Hawks against Miami is who will show up on offense. If we start JJ and Marvin, that could be 2 positions that dont give us much offensively. And on defense, JJ will be on Wade, and Marvin will be on LeBron.
I think Josh or Al will have a good game, but I'm not sure what to expect from Teague or Hinrich.
The scary thing about Miami (when they put their mind to it) is:
1) They can be a very good defensive minded team
2) They (Wade and LbJ) can get to the FT line almost at will
At this point in the season, I have no idea what the Hawks' "will' is. Said Jamal "I think we have to learn to handle adversity..
Except for the Celtics playoff series, we have not handled adversity well for the 3rd season in a row (imo).
March 17th, 2011
7:37 am
From 2 blogs ago;
He still was not a bad pick,
You said We have a all star pf that is forced to play c.
Actually, we have an All-Star Center. If Al was playing PF, would he have made the All-Star team the last 2 years?
You made a good point. I don't think Woody and LD have done a good job of defining all the player roles, and getting them to play to their strengths.
March 17th, 2011
7:39 am
And for the record, I would not mind if the Hawks made a coaching change this off-season, as long as they also trade one of their core.
This being the Hawks of course, I dont expect any kind of moves from them…
March 17th, 2011
7:49 am
When will someone finally try to talk some sense into Josh Smith head, about the fact that he has no outside game to speak of !!! The best outside shooting PF ever was Robert Horry, but only because of his shot selection & clutch ability. There have been many other great shooting PFs, but most of them could not knock down that dagger 3 pointer. Josh does not even possess an average range jump shot ( the 15 to 18 footer).
He just does not care about the team concept & will cost the Hawks dearly when the Heat & Bosh play against them. Bosh will make his mid range jumpers & Josh will get sucked into trying to play H O R S E instead of team ball. Larry Drew has very little leadership skills. Good luck Hawks your going to need it trying to play 4 vs 6 !!!
March 17th, 2011
7:53 am
the Hawks big move was to get Kirk H., huh? That is a move that is typical of the Hawks, just doing something to be able to say you tried….. The only more inept team in handling personel in the NBA is the Clippers! Huge contracts to Marvin, Bibby, Patuela and 120m to JJ ????? WOW
March 17th, 2011

So after a few months the team is already tunning LD out.
It took Woody 6 years to get to this point.
March 17th, 2011
8:11 am
I told myself I was not going to read the blog today….not because of anyone on here, but because I did not want to read the same stupid quotes from the Hawks coach/players. Alas….I broke down and read the blog. Now, I'm annoyed.
I love how these a$$holes have been in the league for years now and still have to talk about learning to handle adversity.
I'm just done with Josh Smith. I hate watching that guy play.
March 17th, 2011
8:14 am
Yeah it's easy to look that good when the competion watered down.
The NBA perimeter competion was watered down from 91-98 (until Kobe came into his own).
March 17th, 2011
8:26 am
LD is a horrible coach. But that was obvious when he was hired. Zero enthusiasm, zero personality, and clearly zero ability to motivate these guys. Never mond zero ability to handle the x's and o's….
at any rate, another typical game. Miami will run them out of the joint friday nite….please spare yourselves and don't pay it any attention until the post mortem, which will be nearly identical to most of the games….
March 17th, 2011

"The ASG needs to have a talk with the coach and the players to let them know that losing home games will not convince fans to come watch them play."
O'B said it best! Enthusiastic co-sign. The brass need to stop being the equivalent of 8 orangutans throwing feces at each other and start throwing some of that at these players, after a game like last night.
There seems to be no sense of urgency. The play offs start in 4 weeks and the core is still saying we have to share the ball? Where is the TRUST? Isn't that what team chemistry is all about? If they pass it from side to side the defense will move and open those lanes.
Last night in the end of the 3rd qrtr, they stopped defending the three.
March 17th, 2011
8:37 am
JT will not be in the NBA when his contract is up.No other team will take him. He can't shoot. Denver did not even check him. That is why he did not play much.They were doubling other players and given him the shot. He is quick but does not know how to penetrate and dish like a point guard. Denvers pg's showed how quickness shoud be used. The team does not want to call JS out. The say words like share the ball more. AH has the fourth best shooting percentage in the league and gets about 5 to 6 shots a game. JS takes 16 to 18 shoots a game. We need a coach to define JS role. Who ever heard of a power forward hanging on the 3 point line and trying to run the fast break. Sure sometimes he makes good plays but for the most part it hurts the team. He has alstar ability but this coach will not bring it out. The longer he is allowed to play this way the harder it will be for him to change.

Born in Ixelles in Brussels in 1928, Agnes Varda spent her childhood in Belgium with her four brothers and sisters. The war in 1940 moved the family to the south of France.
She spent her adolescence in Sète and later Paris where she took her baccalaureate, afterwards
studying at the Louvre and then photography at night school in Vaugirard.
She has lived on Daguerre street (Rue Daguerre) in Paris in the 14th arrondissement since 1951.
Varda became photographer for Jean Vilar, founder of the Avignon festival in 1948, and later for the People's National Theatre (TNP) (the film star Gerard Philipe shined there among others).
She held her first solo exhibition in her home in 1954, followed by several reportage missions in China
and Cuba. Over the course of her travels and via the people she met, she produced several portraits of both ordinary and famous people of her time.
Without any training, Agnès Varda moved to the medium of cinema. She created her own small company Cine-Tamaris to produce and direct her first feature length film, La Pointe Courte, which earnt her the title of 'The Grand Mother of the New Wave'.
Her most well-known films include: Cleo from 5 to 7, Happiness (Le Bonheur – Silver Bear at Berlin Film Festival), Vagabond (Sans Toit Ni Loi - Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival), Jacquot (Jacquot de Nantes), The Gleaners and I (Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse - Golden Prize Chicago) and The Beaches of Agnès (Les Plages d'Agnès).
Married to film director Jacques Demy (deceased in 1990), their daughter Rosalie Varda-Demy is a costume designer and their son Mathieu Demy, an actor and director.
They spent several years in Los Angeles, where Agnes filmed Lions Love (…and Lies), Uncle Yanco and Black Panthers in the 1960s, then Mur Murs and An Emotion Picture (Documenteur) in the 1980s. In 2003, Agnès Varda launched her third career as a visual artist. 7
Her installations were shown at the Venice Biennale and Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, SMAK in
Gent, Art 41 Basel, the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain and Martine Aboucaya Gallery in Paris.
Contemporary Centers and Paul Valéry Museum in Sète. Her Broken Portraits series was shown at Nathalie Obadia Gallery in Brussels.
In 2008, The Beaches of Agnes, a poetic and playful auto-biographical film, resonated with the public
and won the French César award for best documentary.
In 2010-11, she directed a documentary series Agnès Varda from Here to There. Chronicling an open
journey and meetings with contemporary artists. These 5 episodes of 45 minutes in length were shown
on ARTE channel in December 2011, then on DVD.
In March and April 2012 CAFA Art Museum in Beijing and Hubei Museum of Art in Wuhan made a tribute to her work of art, showing her unknown photographs taken in China in 1957 and many of her
contemporary installations.
From June till August 2012, she participates to the big exhibition « Le voyage à Nantes » in France with two new video installations Des chambres en ville.
In July « La Rochelle Film Festival » in France will show a retrospective of her films and her installation Patatutopia, with photographs.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has created a new program to help primary care providers break down the stigma of addiction. The Addiction Performance Project includes a dramatic interpretation of a family's struggle with addiction, followed by a dialogue among participants designed to foster compassion and understanding for patients living with addiction.
According to a NIDA press release, many primary care providers say they do not have the experience or tools to identify drug use in their patients. The program aims to help these doctors move beyond their comfort zone in discussing drug abuse with their patients. Doctors receive continuing medical education credits for completing the program.
The program begins with a reading of Act III of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night, followed by an expert panel reaction and facilitated audience discussion. The first performances were at Harvard Medical School and Emerson College in Boston on March 28th. The program was also held this weekend in Washington, D.C. The next performance is in Phoenix on May 6th. For more information or to register for a performance visit NIDA's website.
CORRECTION: We previously stated that the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Addiction Performance Project launched this weekend in Washington, D.C., but the first performances actually took place in Boston on March 28 at Harvard Medical School and Emerson College.

Antidiarrheal Medicines for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Topic Overview
If you have mild inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) and diarrhea is your main symptom, try an antidiarrheal medicine.
Take antidiarrheals only under your doctor's supervision. You should not take them if you have a fever or blood in your stools. If you have been taking antidiarrheals for 10 days and still have diarrhea, check with your doctor.
Some of these medicines, such as loperamide (Imodium, for example), are available without a prescription. Others, such as diphenoxylate (Lomotil, for example), are available only with a prescription.
These medicines contain ingredients that slow or stop the painful spasms in your intestines that cause symptoms. They can be dangerous if you use them when you have moderate or severe inflammation of the colon, because they can cause a serious complication called toxic megacolon in which the colon swells to many times its normal size.

The cooling fan clutch may fail causing excessive fan noise and/or the Check Engine Light to illuminate.Google+
Car Problem Reports
GMC Envoy Cooling Fan Clutch May Fail Causing Noise and Check Engine Light
GMC Envoy Problem
Model Years Affected: 2002, 2005, 2007
Engine Affected: 4.2L 6 Cylinder
Average Mileage: 91,416 mi (12,400 mi - 150,100 mi)
Visitor, 2002 GMC Envoy, 90,000 mi
Fan Clutch will fail, causing the cooling fan to be locked on. This results in loss of engine power, reduced fuel mileage, and a sound like there is a jet engine under the hood when accelerating. If you accelerate too hard it will set a check engine light condition for excessive fan speed.

Aqua De Vida Med Spa specializes in facial peels. Each of the spa's six peels resurfaces skin, though different fruit enzymes and acids yield different results: salicylic acid diminishes oiliness to tone acne-prone skin, and lactic acid loosens dead cells and milk moustaches to exfoliate sensitive skin. Enhancing the results of peels, LED-light therapy, vitamin-rich oxygen infusions, and dermal injections promote a radiant, wrinkle-free complexion.
Inside Ultimate Exposure Tanning Centers' Chicagoland locations, a full lineup of UV- and spray-tanning equipment infuse skin with a healthy summer glow year-round. Individual sessions in the automated spray-tanning booths?such as VersaSpa?or UV beds gild bodysuits for nights on the town, and unlimited monthly packages fashion a continuous golden hue previously only available to sunbathing satellites. The salon stocks a variety of tan-accelerating lotions from Swedish Beauty, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin, which deepen bronze hues and moisturize skin to fashion a long-lasting radiance.
Licensed cosmetologist Valerie Giacobbe cuts, colors, and sculpts the hair of male and female clients. Full and partial sets of foil highlights add an appearance of depth to locks, and feather extensions let one look more natural when perched on a telephone wire. She also offers complimentary bang trims, her shears thrumming softly through splits ends and unwanted curls. The rasp of emery boards and the soothed sighs that follow paraffin dips drift from her workstation, and she perks up facades with makeup and arches brows with facial-waxing services.
The team at Hair Clippers Salon has the expertise to make clients' beauty dreams come true. At this Redken- and Pureology-certified salon, they draw on years of styling experience to provide haircuts and coloring for men and women, as well as such specialty services as perms, updos, and keratin treatments. Senior stylist Jason does double-duty grooming nails, while fellow senior stylist Nicole provides sleek cuts and and even sleeker waxing services, all while conversing fluently in Russian, Lithuanian, or Polish. At neighboring chairs, Paul Mitchell-trained stylists Ilyana and Alicia sculpt coifs into flattering shapes.
