ISI Inspection Report
The Independent Schools Council was formed in 1974 as the Independent Schools Joint Council. The ISC provides a single, unified organisation to speak and act on behalf of the eight independent schools' associations which constitute it.
ISC promotes the schools' common interests at the political level by making representations to government ministers, politicians of all parties and civil servants. Its governing council includes representatives of the associations.
ISIS (Independent Schools Council information service) is its media, public relations and information arm. Eighty per cent of independent sector pupils in the UK attend ISC schools.
ISC has overall responsibility for the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), which ensures high standards among ISC schools and which works under a framework agreed with Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education).
A school must pass an ISI accreditation inspection to qualify for membership of an association within ISC. Schools are evaluated on their educational standards (including attainment, learning and behaviour), quality of teaching, assessment and recording, curriculum, staffing, premises and resources, links with parents and the community, pupils' personal development and pastoral care, management, efficiency, aims and ethos.
ISC schools are subject to rigorous inspection every six years, based on criteria approved by Ofsted and recognised by the Government. ISI also carries out statutory functions on behalf of central government to ensure standards required by law are met and enable schools to remain registered with the Department for Education & Employment.

FAYETTEVILLE — It was the shot heard around the state. Down one with two on, two out, a full count and freshman Breanna Langford at the plate, Benton's 6A title hopes looked to be all but demolished Friday at Bogle Park in Fayetteville. That was until Sheridan pitcher Sydney Bonner left a hanger out over the plate that Langford tomahawked into left field for a 3-run, go-ahead blast to put the Lady Panthers in front for good.
BENTON -- The Benton Lady Panthers proved that the third time really is the charm Saturday, beating the defending 6A champion Russellville Cyclones 2-1 in the 6A State Tournament semifinals.
Having lost to the Cyclones 2-1 in each of the last two postseasons, Benton kicked the monkey from its back and punched its ticket to Fayetteville for a second straight 6A final.
The win wasn't just any victory for third-year Benton coach Heidi Cox, however. To her, this win ranks at the top.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK – Bryant starting sophomore Zack Jackson would walk the bases loaded in the first inning of a 7A State Tournament semifinal game on Monday, but he would not walk another in a complete-game 2-0 shutout of the Conway Wampus Cats at Burns Park in North Little Rock.
Jackson would get out of the inning unscathed and would not let another Conway runner to third base the rest of the game giving up just three hits, three walks and striking out seven in seven innings pitched for the win.
BENTON – The first two innings ended up being killer for the Benton Panthers in a 6A State Tournament semifinal game against the Russellville Cyclones on Saturday. South No. 1 seed Benton gave up three runs in the first and two in the second to spot East No. 2 seed Russellville five runs in a 5-1 loss to end the Panthers' season. Russellville will take on the East No. 5 seed Marion in the state championship in Fayetteville on Saturday.
The Benton Panthers athletic department has a new leader. After former Athletic Director Steve Quinn, Benton AD since 2006, took the principal position at Benton Middle School, Texas import Randy McFarlin will be the new Panther athletic director.
HASKELL — The Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals battled through a rare close contest Monday. With a championship looming, the Lady Cards defeated the Perryville Lady Mustangs 2-1 to move their winning streak to 12 straight and captured the squad's second straight 5-3A District title.
"I am most proud of how we fought through a close game since we hadn't played one in a while, so it was nice to see how we were going to do," Head Coach Sammi Massey said. "It took both pitchers today and both did a great job. We got timely hits where we needed them and played defense when we had to."
MALVERN – In two must-win games, the Bauxite Lady Miners punched their ticket to a 4A Regionals berth on Friday when they defeated the Robinson Senators 16-6 and the Central Arkansas Christian Lady Mustangs 11-3 at the 7-4A District Tournament in Malvern. The Lady Miners played Nashville, which Bauxite lost to 13-1 on April 25, in the semifinal game on Saturday with results in Monday's edition.
"We're in the Regional for sure now," Bauxite Coach Sara Tew said. "It's just a matter of where. If we beat Nashville, we'll be a 1 or 2 seed."
BENTON – Since Benton baseball Coach Mark Balisterri won his 300th game back in the 6A State Championship season of 2009, it hasn't taken very long to hit that next milestone – 400 wins. In Balisterri's 20th season coaching the Benton Panthers, he picked up No. 400 on March 29, 2014, in a 6-3 win over the Lakeside Rams.
BRYANT – The Bryant Lady Hornets held 7A/6A South Conference leader Sheridan Lady Jackets down for two innings, but Sheridan, which threatened the first two innings, finally broke through in the third inning against the Lady Hornets and stayed undefeated in the South with an 8-2 victory in Bryant on Tuesday.
WOODLAWN -- The Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals got a taste of its own medicine in the semifinals of the Woodlawn Tournament on Saturday after being held hitless. With Kristen Dempsey and LJ Hemlich usually being the ones to hold the opposition off the base paths, the Lady Cardinals couldn't muster a hit but still beat Woodlawn 1-0 taking advantage of a walk and wild pitch in the process and advancing to the finals.

When 2-year-old Jacob was diagnosed with autism, his parents, Howie and Kimmie Fine felt alone.
"I started looking around and there was nothing. There were no services. There was no support," recalled Kimmie, a Tampa real estate executive.
Five years later, she formed a non-profit foundation to help other families pay for therapy and other essentials. The foundation is called Jacob's Touch.
The group is planning a gala fundraiser this Friday, April 19, at the Tampa Yacht Club. They hope to award grants to 10 families in the Tampa Bay Area next year.
One family already being helped by the foundation has three children with autism.
For some, the movie "Rain Man" was the first introduction to autism. In real life, most people with autism aren't savants. But many are very intelligent and able to lead full and independent lives.
That's the hope Tim and Angela Falleur of Tampa have for their children. Three of their kids have been diagnosed with autism, and a fourth, their youngest, is being watched closely to see if he has the disorder.
Their four children, all under the age of 7, make parenting an even bigger challenge.
"It's definitely busy," said Angela Falleur, who worked as a nanny for 12 years before having her own family. "They don't play together, so they're all four doing different things at different times."
While we were shooting video of the kids, Tim and Angela were moving quickly between them, supplying their needs ranging from an iPad to a pacifier. Some ask how it happened: Why would they have all of these children with autism?
"We know so many that just have one [autistic child]," said Tim. "We couldn't even know or think about people that had more than one. That would be a real statistical improbability."
Only recently have studies shown that parents with one autistic child have a much greater chance of having another.
By the time their oldest child, Grace, was diagnosed with autism, Angela was already pregnant with their son Landon. He seemed fine at 9 months when his younger sister Jensen was conceived. As it turned out, all three were diagnosed with autism.
The birth of their youngest child, Eon, followed an unplanned pregnancy. After all of this, Angela calls her family "a gift."
"We want to teach them how to be happy people, and we're blessed," said Angela.
The Falleurs believe therapy will help their children grow into independent adults, but it's expensive. Even though Tim has a job with good benefits, the copays add up, and one of the therapies, Applied Behavioral Analysis, is not covered. The cost is around $1,300 a month -- per child.
"It's expensive, but it's one of those things that you somehow have to make it happen," said Tim.
Jacob's Touch pays for some of the therapy, which Kimmie Fine says is an investment in the future.
"It's proven that these kids will be independent. They'll be able to function in society. They'll be able to live on their own. They'll be able to get jobs," added Fine.

After all the hand-wringing and rancor, the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Republican primary came to an abrupt, if unofficial, conclusion this week. On paper, 20 state contests and two challengers remain. But Rick Santorum's suspension Tuesday of his second-place campaign removed the last, best challenge to Mitt Romney. Barring tragedy or scandal, the former Massachusetts governor will be the GOP standard-bearer against Barack Obama come November.
Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul pledge to soldier on toward Tampa and this summer's GOP convention, but Romney has earned the right to begin running against Obama instead of his fellow Republicans. His biggest bit of unfinished primary business is whether the 60 percent of GOP voters who chose a candidate other than Romney will transfer their loyalty to him without some wooing. If the general election becomes a matter of which party can fire up its base more, can Romney inspire the kind of conservative turnout needed to win?
Georgia, where Romney finished a solid but distant second to favorite son Gingrich, is a good testing ground for those questions.
Four years ago, John McCain won our state narrowly by recent standards, with just a 5-percentage-point margin over Obama. But the closer margin owed to larger turnout among black voters supporting Obama; the electorate was almost as conservative and a tad more evangelical as it was four years earlier when George W. Bush was re-elected.
But this year, and Romney? "I definitely think he's got some challenges to overcome," says Kay Godwin, a co-founder of Georgia Conservatives in Action and a key GOP activist in South Georgia.
"People honestly do not see him as conservative. We see it a lot with what he says, but we've not seen it lived out in action, and we're getting a little bit wiser. But at this point, our goal is Obama has to go. It's my number-one goal, period. … At this particular moment in time, I think people are trying their best to settle into this [with Romney as the apparent nominee]. And I just hope and pray they can. But there's so much skepticism out there, time will tell."
Julianne Thompson, state coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, says she does see Georgia's grassroots activists coming to accept Romney.
"I think most people see the bigger picture here. It's what I hear from a lot of tea-party people, I can tell you that … they're looking toward November and want to concentrate on Barack Obama and really are ready to be done with the primary."
Thompson says Romney's choice of running mate will be critical to solidifying conservative support here.
"There are a lot of great names out there that have been put out," she says, mentioning Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida specifically. "I personally like [former Arkansas Gov.] Mike Huckabee a lot, though I'm not sure he's interested in doing anything like that. But I really do like him and he would be a good contrast, and we would be hitting all across the Republican spectrum if we had a vice-presidential candidate like that."
Godwin also mentions those three names, along with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (who just might be my own choice to join a Romney ticket).
"If he puts somebody on there that the conservatives trust, that would make a big difference," Godwin says. "It can't be [New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie … it's got to be somebody from the heartland, the conservative movement, so that we'll get behind him with everything we've got."
Chris Perkins, the state director for Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition, strikes a more optimistic note. Romney, he predicts, "will do better than McCain did four years ago."
Why? "Mostly because I think there are people who voted for Obama four years ago who are going to change their mind. Hard-core Democrats will vote for Obama, hard-core Republicans will vote for Romney — but there are people in the middle who are going to want change, or they're not happy with the way things have gone under Obama."
The GOP primary dragged on longer than some people would have liked, but it still wrapped up with almost five months to go before Tampa. That ought to leave Romney time to wrap up some loose ends with conservative voters — and ensure the election is a referendum on Obama, not his own reliability.

For Ron Paul supporters its Ron Paul or nobody at all!
What would be the point of voting for Romney? My vote is too precious to throw away on someone with his policies and lack of principles. He, Newt, Rick and everyone else running except Ron Paul are basically the same as Obama when it comes to the important matters of liberty, freedom, small government, sound foreign policy, sound monetary policy, etc.
There is a revolution going on even if the media and the GOP establishment are choosing to ignore it or hope it isn't really happening. The big government, civil liberty and freedom destroying policies of the republicans and democrats are no longer going to be tollerated by the citizens of this country. The values and ideals of the founding fathers that every other republican candidate gives mere lip service to are embodied in Ron Paul and his voting record and it is these values that are driving this campaign. Ron has merely been the spokesman because he and he alone in Washington has the record to prove that his word can be trusted and that his principles are consistent and not up for sale by the corporatists that own the two/one party system we now suffer under.
Liberty and Freedom are going to win eventually. Those of us who have taken the red pill can no longer have the wool pulled over our eyes by Goldman Sachs candidates like Romney and Obama. Why would we take so many steps forward just to willingly take so many back by supporting someone who cares so little about the constitution, freedom, or liberty.
At a series of events in California last week Ron Paul drew between 5 and 10 thousand screaming, enthusiastic supporters each (and most of these events were held on University of California campuses). The youth have figured out that Obama was the joke everyone said he was. They know where REAL change will come from (and it isn't Romney). This week thousands more are showing up at every event in Texas. The next generation has figured out how screwed they are even while the current generations desperately cling to the failed policies that got us here.
The future is bright, but only with a Ron Paul presidency. For the sake of america I hope the GOP does the right thing at the inevitable brokered convention and finally picks a candidate that can win against Obama – Ron Paul.

And yet no matter how many times you repeat it, that's not his record. Rather he has a record of creating and saving jobs.
"Romney- liberal his entire career until yesterday (we don't know what he'll be tomorrow)"
And yet no matter how many times you repeat it, his record is one of working with the other side of aisle which just so happens to be liberal, which is the sure sign of a moderate.

"Kind of like the faux outrage about the remarks Hilary Rosen made about Ann Romney."
kelly, I'll agree that attempting to link Hillary Rosen to the Disaster-in-Chief's campaign is a stretch, however, the outrage is, and should be real regarding her remarks. And is all-too typical for the liberals who make up the majority of the media. They are the least tolerant of any group around.
For all the claims of bigotry and intolerance thrown about conservatives, liberals alternately denigrate the religious aspect of conservatives, the working nature of stay-at-home mothers, and instead of preaching actual equality, they deliberately separate people into designated groups to play one off of another in order to buy their votes.
Liberals are, by and large, the worst hypocrites on the planet.
April 12th, 2012

If Ann Romney even mentioned the name of Michelle Obama, she would get flogged by the leftist media. If she said that Michelle never 'worked a day in her life', she would be cast as a racist. Truth hurts libs.

MrLiberty, if there were any such real "revolution" going on in America regarding the policies espoused by Ron Paul, he would have won a caucus or a primary during this GOP primary season.
He did not.
And he won't.
There is a HUGE divide between intensity and acceptance regarding Ron Paul and his policies. Ron Paul supporters don't get that. But the rest of America does.
April 12th, 2012
2:49 pm
Tiberius – Those who know exactly what has gone on at the caucuses know that he has actually won several (Maine as the most blatant example of corruption and vote tampering) but these facts have been specifically covered up by the mainstream media to insure his label of "unelectable" holds throughout the primary season. The collapse of the american economy, the dollar, the global economy, etc. will only further solidify the support for the sound economic policies he has been promoting for his entire career. With Diebold counting the votes I have no reason to trust any of the totals we have seen. Goldman Sachs has already chosen Romney as their candidate. What they will do to insure that happens is limitless as far as I can see. They chose Obama last time and did what they needed to do to Hillary and Bill to keep the whole Kenyan thing under wraps and they were richly rewarded with bailouts, etc.
America has a choice – freedom or continued slavery. The next few months and the next few years will show what this country is made of. I am encouraged by the young people but ultimately the older generations need to start caring about the future of america if this is going to change. Those of us currently in the freedom movement aren't going to be able to do it alone.

"Those who know exactly what has gone on at the caucuses know that he has actually won several (Maine as the most blatant example of corruption and vote tampering) but these facts have been specifically covered up by the mainstream media to insure his label of "unelectable" holds throughout the primary season."

Well, I don't know any real activists and don't give a hoot about polls. I do enjoy watching liberal activists knock themselves out trying to build a romney/ruin when they might as well take up knitting. I do hope some of them get paid minimum wage for their services. They do try hard.
And we should express appreciation to those hucksters here who run up a slew of chain lib complaints which makes the numbers just great on Kyle's blog. Thank you.
Go for it, fellows. Somebody has got to act like they like the country in debt, unemployment and foreclosure and throw fireworks for Obama. Now don't forget, no more bad talk about the "evil rich". Shhhh…'cause Obama is one of the "evil rich" sitting on millions. Oh well. Being a community organizer and part time professor in Chicago is a very lucrative job! Obviously!

Nice to see Hillary Rosen finally man-up and apologize for her remarks.
And thanks, Hillary, for diffusing the "War on Women" meme for us. We appreciate it.

Ohhh…..Hillary Rosen is a lesbian? Well, that explains the whole working mom thing. She has never been a mom, and never will be.

While that was not a smart thing to say, she was speaking the truth. Being able to be a stay at home mom in this economy is a luxury. Most women need to find care during the day while they go to work along with their husbands to make ends meet. I'm sure all mothers would love to stay home with their children but the reality is that the majority of families can't afford that, something the Romney's have never had to worry about.

Spartan Sports Almanac | MSU Athletics Hall of Fame | The Nickname | Green & White | Sparty | Sparty Mascot
Spartan Marching Band | History of the MSU Fight Song | MSU's Fight Song Lyrics | Alma Mater - MSU Shadows Lyrics
In 1926, Michigan State's first southern baseball training tour provided the setting for the birth of the "Spartans" nickname.
It all came about when a Lansing sportswriter imposed the silent treatment on a contest-winning nickname and substituted his own choice, the name that has lasted through the years.
In 1925, Michigan State College replaced the name Michigan Agricultural College. The college sponsored a contest to select a nickname to replace "Aggies" and picked "The Michigan Staters."
George S. Alderton, then sports editor of the Lansing State Journal, decided the name was too cumbersome for newspaper writing and vowed to find a better one. Alderton contacted Jim Hasselman of Information Services to see if entries still remained from the contest. When informed that they still existed, Alderton ran across the entry name of "Spartans" and then decided that was the choice. Unfortunately, Alderton forgot to write down who submitted that particular entry, so that part of the story remains a mystery.
Rewriting game accounts supplied by Perry Fremont, a catcher on the squad, Alderton first used the name sparingly and then ventured into the headlines with it. (Incidentally, after two days of spelling the name incorrectly with an "o", Mr. Alderton changed it to Spartan on a tip from a close friend.) Dale Stafford, a sports writer for the Lansing Capitol News, a rival of the State Journal, picked up the name for his paper after a couple of days. Alderton called Stafford and suggested that he might want to join the Spartan parade and he did.
As Mr. Alderton explains: "No student, alumnus or college official had called up the editor to complain about our audacity in giving the old school a new name, so we ventured into headlines with it. Happily for the experiment, the name took. It began appearing in other newspapers and when the student publication used it, that clinched it."
Details are sketchy as to when Michigan State athletic teams officially began using the school colors green and white. But records of the Athletic Association of the then Michigan Agricultural College show that on April 11, 1899, the organization took steps toward adoption of a green monogram, "to be worn only by athletes who subsequently take part in intercollegiate events."
It is generally thought the colors came into wide use with the arrival in 1903 of Chester L. Brewer as the school's first full-time director of athletics. Brewer also coached the Spartan football, basketball, baseball and track teams, the only varsity units in existence at the time.
"The Spartan" statue, designed and produced by MSU assistant art professor Leonard D. Jungwirth, has a permanent home inside the atrium of the Spartan Stadium tower. The 9-foot-7 ceramic figure weighs approximately 6,600 pounds, including its base. In 2005, the sculpture was relocated to protect it from the elements.
"The Spartan" was dedicated on June 9, 1945, at the intersection of Red Cedar Road, Kalamazoo Street and Chestnut Road. Popularly known as "Sparty," the statue remains one of the favorite photo subjects of campus visitors.
In 2005, an exact replica of the original terra cotta sculpture - now cast in bronze - took up residency on the plaza located at the north end of Demonstration Hall Field. The molds for the bronze statue were made from the original sculpture. The new statue was cast in bronze at the Artworks Foundry in Berkeley, Calif.
As part of MSU's sesquicentennial celebration, the bronze "Sparty" was dedicated on Oct. 8, 2005. Donors contributed approximately $500,000 to pay for all work related to the new sculpture, including the plaza.
Michigan State's beloved Sparty has won three national championships in the last four years at the Universal Cheer Association's mascot competition at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
In January 2004, Sparty became the first Big Ten mascot to claim the national title, and in 2005, he defended his national championship, beating Goldy Gopher and Bucky Badger in the finals. After finishing third in the 2006 competition, Sparty reclaimed the national championship in 2007.
Made of hi-tech materials, including a vinyl chest plate and fiberglass molds like the ones used for making Muppets, the seven-foot costume weighs in at 40 pounds, allowing enough flexibility for playful gestures and animation. Sparty is a far cry from the many papier-mache heads that have popped up since the 1950's, mostly from fraternity efforts. The first official one apparently debuted in 1955 courtesy of Theta Xi.
Other versions were introduced from time to time. In 1984, Sigma Phi Epsilon introduced the first "gruff" head--sporting the unshaven look that still adorns many sweatshirts and jackets.
By contrast, the current Sparty costume is a state-of-the-art, full-bodied uniform that costs $12,000.
Today students - their identities kept private - take turns being Sparty. Because of the costume size, Sparty aspirants must be between 5-10 and 6-2 in height. Candidates who fit the physical needs are chosen after a hands-on process that includes tryouts and interviews.
The Sparty Mascot Program is run and funded by the Student Alumni Foundation.
The 300-member Spartan Marching Band, which enters its 139th season in 2008, is one of the oldest and most recognized university marching bands in the country. The Director of the Spartan Marching Band is John T. Madden, who is in his 21st season leading the group.
The Spartan Marching Band was founded in 1870 as a 10-member student group. All of the original members were Civil War veterans. The Spartan Marching Band was a military unit connected with the college ROTC for most of its existence. Until 1952, the band members wore military khaki uniforms. When Michigan State began playing Big Ten football in 1952, the band received its first green and white uniforms. Most of the strict military uniform codes are still adhered to today with squad leaders holding routing inspections before every performance.
No flutes or clarinets are used in the Spartan Marching Band, as these instruments are difficult to hear in the large Big Ten stadiums. Instead, tiny E-flat cornets play the high "woodwind-like" parts. The Spartan Marching Band has entertained five U.S. Presidents: Theodore Roosevelt (1907), Herbert Hoover (1930), Franklin D. Roosevelt (1936), Lyndon Johnson (1965) and Bill Clinton (1996 and 2001).
The Spartan Marching Band has performed at 16 bowl games, including four Rose Bowls (1954, '56, '66 and '88). In addition, the band has made appearances at the 1964 New York World's Fair, '84 New Orleans World's Fair, '84 World Series in Detroit and '93 Coca-Cola Bowl in Tokyo, Japan.
The Spartan Marching Band was the 1988 recipient of the Louis Sudler Trophy for collegiate marching bands, administered by the John Philip Sousa Foundation.
In 1995, ABC Sports selected the Spartan Marching Band to record its theme music for college football.
Yellmaster Francis Irving Lankey, a civil engineering major at Michigan Agricultural College, composed the school's Fight Song in the spring of 1915. His friend Arthur L. Sayles, also a MAC student, wrote most of the words to the Fight Song. The football team's back-to-back road wins over national powers Michigan and Wisconsin in 1913 inspired Lankey to compose the MAC Fight Song because he felt those two schools had great fight songs. "Lank", as his friends called him, was a very popular and talented piano player.
Following graduation, he worked for the highway department and later became an instructor for the Army Air Corps. In a volunteer air demonstration in 1919, he crashed while attempting to land. Months after his untimely death, a girlfriend published his song. Members of the football team sold 770 copies of the song for 50 cents at the 1919 Homecoming pep assembly. When it sold out in less than 30 minutes, everyone knew the Fight Song was a winner. In 1920, the Military Band played the MAC Fight Song at home football games. With slight variations to the original words, like changing Aggie to Spartan and MAC to MSU, it has been played ever since.
On the banks of the Red Cedar,
MSU, we love thy shadows

It was a good old-fashioned thrashing Tuesday night at Bourne High School as the Lady Canalmen hosted cross-canal rival Wareham and put on a clinic, as they ran away with a 60-39 victory.
"Obviously they played very well," BHS coach Mike Tierney said of his team. "It's only our fourth game and we really haven't hit our rhythm yet. We're still getting started."
Brie Girouard and Amanda Pomeroy had the Vikings pinned to the mat in the opening minutes of the first quarter as they worked their way to the hoop. Girouard blocked a shot and fired the ball up the court to Shelby Corsano, who knew just what to do as she walked in for the wide open lay-up. A blocked shot by Stacy Tonello, a steal and a block by Chelsea Doucette and a blocked shot by Pomeroy, topped off by a 3-pointer from Corsano had the Vikings calling for a timeout.
Wareham fought back to cut the Bourne lead to three points in the second quarter. Doucette then grabbed a rebound and put it back up for two-points, followed by a steal by Corsano that she took to the hoop. Girouard had back-to-back baskets, Pomeroy blocked another shot and Corsano drained another 3-pointer for a 23-11 lead.
The Lady Canalmen outscored the Vikings in the last six minutes of the second quarter by an 11-1 margin to take a 25-12 lead at the break.
The third quarter belonged to Doucette, who had 13 points as Bourne went on a 22-11 scoring spree. Pomeroy opened the third quarter scoring off a dish from Girouard and then Doucette kicked it in, scoring the next six Bourne points. Doucette then set up Corsano on a fast break and got the ball inside to Girouard for a couple more, before opened another six-point run. She also hauled in three of her nine rebounds for the night.
Bourne took a 24-point lead into the final quarter, which Pomeroy opened with a deep jumper. Tonello buried a 3-pointer and then for the final six minutes Bourne had the Vikings twisting and spinning as they zipped passes back, forth and across, with the usual result being Pomeroy all alone under the basket with the ball. After that happened three times, Wareham took another timeout.
"They just have so much history together," Tierney said of his five starters. "When they are in sync, they are very hard to play against."
Related Content
Corsano and Doucette each finished the night with 15 points. Girouard had 12 and Pomeroy had 11 points and five assists. Girouard had eight rebounds and eight assists to go along with three steals. Doucette had four steals, Tonello and Corsano each had three takeaways.
Greater New Bedford Voc Tech just ran out of answers Saturday night as they fought and clawed the best they knew how, but could not stop Bourne, as the Lady Canalmen claimed a hard-fought 55-49 victory.
Doucette led the way for BHS with a game high 21 points, followed by Corsano, who had 17. Included in Corsano's point total were three 3-pointers.

OAK CREEK, WI (WTAQ) - A Sikh religious publication in Canada has named Oak Creek Police lieutenant Brian Murphy as its "Chic Sikh of the Year."
The annual award comes from the online art and culture magazine Sikh Chic of Canada. It honors those who serve beyond the call of duty, while reflecting the Sikh idea of caring for everyone.
Murphy took 15 bullets from gunman Wade Michael Page during the August shooting massacre at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek. Six people were killed, but the magazine said many more could have died if it wasn't for Murphy intervention.
The magazine said Murphy received an overwhelming number of nominations from Sikhs throughout the world – and he beat out notables like author J.K. Rowling and British House of Lords member Indarjit Singh.
A ceremony is planned soon in Oak Creek, in which the magazine's award will be presented to Murphy.

text: Britain Eyes 20% of national demand through wave energy Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:00 - Sunday, 08 April 2012, 00:00 The United Kingdom this week launched a €24 million contest to support up to two pilot wave energy projects, with the government aiming to scale up clean technology to power more homes and businesses and curb carbon emissions. Marine power has the potential to provide up to 20 per cent of the UK's current electricity demand, as well as help the country reach its climate targets and support thousands of jobs, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said in a statement on Thursday. "This scheme will help move marine power to the next stage of development, the demonstration of a number of wave and tidal devices in array formation out at sea," Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said. "Marine power has huge potential and the UK is already leading the way for the rest of the world to follow," the statement added. Companies and organisations across the UK will be able to bid for a share of the €24 million prize that was first announced last summer. The government will announce winning bids towards the end of the year. Lobby group RenewableUK has estimated that at least €145 million would be needed for the UK wave energy industry to reach full-scale deployment. The technology, like other renewables such as solar and biomass, needs government funding to reach commercial scale and then subsidies after that as it grows to be more cost efficient. Wave and tidal energy could provide up to 15 per cent of Europe's energy needs by 2050, according to the European Ocean Energy Association. In Malta a company, DexaWave Energy Malta, in August successfully set up a 1:10 scale model of its wave energy converters off Żonqor Point in Marsascala, by means of which the company will further test the possibilities for electricity generation from wave power in the Mediterranean. Should the results show that it would be feasible to set up a wave farm off Gozo's northwestern coast (where high-tech wave data collecting instruments have been installed), it would be the first such farm in the Mediterranean. It would generate about five megawatts of electricity that would be enough to supply about 1,600 households. At the time, DexaWave Energy Denmark director Lars Elbaek explained that the project would be viable if the tests show that there are two to three-metre waves for at least 2,000 hours a year. The model of the wave energy converters is a scaled down version of the 60-metre converters (20 to 24 of them) that the company plans to deploy off Gozo. This is the final part of a plan of comprehensive tests by DexaWave Energy Malta, and the purpose of the seven-metre long model is to help the company establish the parameters of a full-scale converter. Once the tests are completed, DexaWave Energy Malta and Euromed Eco Power Co. Ltd (the company which is working very closely with DexaWave Energy Malta on logistics) plan to start building the first full-scale converter early next year. The idea for the project came about in 2009, when Euromed Eco Power director Noel Gauci and DexaWave Denmark director Lars Elbaek met in Denmark, where they had spoken about the possibilities of carrying out tests and considering a project in Malta with a view to supplying other Mediterranean countries with DexaWave Energy converters. The idea was supported by the Finance Ministry, the Resources Ministry, Enemalta and Malta Enterprise, and DexaWave Energy Malta teamed up with the University of Malta's Institute of Sustainable Energy and the International Ocean Institute-Malta Operational Centre, and applied for funding from the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST). MCST granted €195,000 for tests in Gozo and Marsascala. The company itself has already contributed €90,000 to the project and plans to invest a total of €3 million by the first half of this year to build and test the first full-size model.

Breast Cancer Health Center
10 Mammogram Myths and Facts
You may have a million excuses not to get that annual mammogram, but your reasons may not be as good as you think. Don't blow off your appointment before you get the facts behind these myths and defenses.
1. Breast cancer doesn't run in my family, so I don't need to go.
It's true that if breast cancer runs in your family, you're more likely to get it, especially if your sister or mom had it. But most women who get breast cancer -- 85% -- have no family history of the disease. So get checked anyway.
2. I'm too young.
Breast cancer is most common in women 55 or older. But it can still happen to younger women. There are different guidelines about when to start. Ask your doctor what's right for you.
3. The radiation is too risky.
You'd get a lot less radiation from a mammogram than what you'd get on a plane trip from Houston to Paris, says Therese Bevers, MD. She is medical director of the Cancer Prevention Center at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. You know you'd take a free ticket to Paris in a heartbeat. Don't think twice about a mammogram either.
4. I'm afraid of what they might find.
Don't jump to conclusions. Remember, 80% of callbacks turn out to be benign, Bevers says. Also, a mammogram doesn't change anything. It just gives you information about what's already there. If a mammogram finds something that turns out to be cancer, wouldn't you rather know about it sooner than later?
5. It's too expensive.
Not anymore. Mammograms are free under the health care reform law (the Affordable Care Act), with no deductibles and no copays. Medicare also covers mammograms. If for some reason you fall through the cracks, there are other free or low-cost options. Call the National Cancer Institute at 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237) for information.
6. It's too painful.
Mammograms are pretty quick. Any discomfort is brief, says Debbie Saslow, PhD, director of breast and gynecologic cancer at the American Cancer Society. It can help to:
- Schedule the screening test when your breasts are less sensitive (i.e. not right before your period).
- Take an aspirin or over-the-counter pain reliever before.
- Let the technologist know that you might be sensitive. He or she might be able to make the mammogram a more positive experience.
7. I don't have any lumps.
That's good, but mammograms can find small tumors up to 3 years before you can feel them. Those small, early-stage tumors are treatable.
8. I'm too busy.
Make the time. Mammograms only take 15-30 minutes, and it's part of your routine health care. "It's a lot more time-consuming if you get sick," Saslow says.
9. My breasts are too dense.
Mammograms may be less helpful in finding cancer in dense breasts, but they're not useless. If your mammogram isn't readable because you have dense breasts, you may get a second check with an ultrasound or MRI.
10. I eat right and I exercise regularly, so I'm not at risk.
Keep up the good work and still get tested. A healthy lifestyle may lower your risk of getting breast cancer, but "it doesn't eliminate it," Saslow says.

The Mohave County Sheriff's Office says a man has died after being shot by a deputy after the man allegedly threatened the deputy with his own baton.
The dead man was later identified as Blake Allen Barbour, 43, of Kingman.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Trish Carter says the fatal shooting occurred Friday morning after a deputy responded to a report of a man acting erratically and threatening family members at a residence in the Kingman area.
Carter says the man was combative and was shocked several times without effect before he grabbed the deputy's baton and swung it while approaching the deputy.
According to Carter, the deputy shot the man when the man ignored several warnings.
The deputy is on leave. The Sheriff's Office has requested the Bullhead City Police department to conduct the investigation to ensure impartiality.

The R.O.A.D. to a Healthy Pregnancy and Natural Birth
Most new parents ask the same question. "What can I do to make sure my baby is healthy?"
The answer to this question starts long before birth. The choices you make while you're pregnant play a major role in the health of your baby, as well as your own health and comfort during your pregnancy.
Many women feel "miserable" throughout their pregnancies. About 50 percent of pregnant moms experience morning sickness, one out of four will have a cesarean section, and the United States has one of the worst infant mortality rates among industrialized nations. The long-term effects of these problems on our children are just now being researched and understood.
Many of the complications and discomforts experienced during pregnancy and birth are preventable, if you're willing to make some simple changes in your diet and lifestyle.
The four components to having a healthy pregnancy, birth and baby are Relaxation, Options, Activity, and Diet: the "ROAD." No matter what type of birth you are planning to have, these steps will help you and your baby be healthier.
Relaxation is a key part of good general health, as well as essential for moms planning a natural birth. Stress can be harmful to the baby, but relaxation helps counter that effect. The ability to become completely relaxed mentally, emotionally, and physically interrupts the fear-tension-pain cycle that causes the need for drugs during labor. The ability to relax at will is also handy when raising children!
Deep relaxation is a skill that must be learned and practiced to be truly effective. Many women already practice daily meditation or prenatal yoga, which gives them a great head start. Even these women will benefit from learning new techniques and practicing them daily, preferably with the help of their husband or someone else who will be able to act as "coach" during labor. A great exercise to help you feel relaxed is progressive relaxation.
Begin by finding a comfortable position, such as lying on your side with your top leg supported by pillows or sitting as if in a contour chair supported by pillows (a recliner also works, if you have one). If you are working with a coach, have him read this to you.
"Close your eyes. Take a nice, deep breath and let it out slowly. Take another slow breath, and release. One more breath, and as you let it go, imagine yourself standing under a gentle waterfall. Feel your head relax as the water touches it. Feel the water run down over your neck and shoulders, as they release and relax. The water flows down your arms and off the tips of your fingers, drawing the worries of the day away. As the water cascades over your chest and belly, feel how your baby relaxes as you let go. Water flows down your legs, your feet, and off your toes, leaving your entire body loose, limp, and relaxed."
Stay in this relaxed state for a few minutes and enjoy it. When finished, take some deep breaths and wiggle your toes and fingers before getting up.
It's important that expecting moms educate themselves about labor and birth. Researching options helps couples feel confident that they are making the right choices. Also, knowing the options helps avoid fear and surprise if complications occur.
Try the following to keep your options open:
- Learn relaxation, stay active, and eat a good diet to stay healthy and low-risk. This makes more choices available to you.
- Research pregnancy and birth through independent sources, such as books, newspapers, the Internet and so on. Some great books to start with are The Birth Book by Dr. William and Martha Sears, The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer, and Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way by Susan McCutcheon.
- Attend childbirth classes, preferably those offered outside a hospital. Classes offered by a hospital often teach to that hospital's procedures instead of offering information on all the options available.
- Make a birth plan and discuss it with your doctor or midwife before labor occurs. Bring a few copies with you during labor.
- Be flexible when health professionals recommend procedures–remember there is a good reason they are suggested, even if you disagree with them.
- Practice informed consent. In the event that complications occur, knowing what a proposed procedure involves will help you and your coach weigh the benefits and risks and make a good decision.
- If it is not an emergency, ask for a second opinion if you disagree with the recommendation of your care provider.
- Ask questions whenever you don't understand a procedure or its explanation. Parents are ultimately responsible for what happens to their baby, not the doctor or midwife, so be sure you comprehend what is happening.

THAT ALL MAY BE ONE Strathmore University Foundation supports Strathmore University and Strathmore School in Kenya as a US based 501 (c) 3 registered Non-Profit organization.
Eastern Africa, bordering the Indian Ocean, between Somalia and Tanzania.
Ethiopia 861 km, Somalia 682 km, Sudan 232 km, Tanzania 769 km, Uganda 933 km.
Size 582,650 sq km, slightly more than twice the size of Nevada, US. Low plains rise to central highlands bisected by the Great Rift Valley with a fertile plateau in the west. Its lowest point of elevation is the Indian Ocean at 0; its highest point of elevation is Mt Kenya which stands at 5,199m. The climate varies from tropical along the coast to arid in the interior. The Kenyan Highlands comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa; glaciers are found on Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest peak, and a unique physiography supports abundant and varied wildlife of scientific and economic value.
Just over 32 million people live in Kenya. Life expectancy is around 45 years. Birth rate is on average 3.3 per woman. 6.7% of the population is believed to have HIV/AIDS. Literacy rate is just over 85%.
English (official), Kiswahili (official), numerous indigenous languages.
Kikuyu 22%, Luhya 14%, Luo 13%, Kalenjin 12%, Kamba 11%, Kisii 6%, Meru 6%, other African 15%, non-African (Asian, European, and Arab) 1%.
Protestant 45%, Roman Catholic 33%, indigenous beliefs 10%, Muslim 10%, other 2% note: a large majority of Kenyans are Christian, but estimates for the percentage of the population that adheres to Islam or indigenous beliefs vary widely.
Founding president and liberation struggle icon Jomo Kenyatta led Kenya from independence until his death in 1978, when President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi took power in a constitutional succession. The country was a de facto one-party state from 1969 until 1982 when the ruling Kenya African National Union (KANU) made itself the sole legal party in Kenya. Moi acceded to internal and external pressure for political liberalization in late 1991. The ethnically fractured opposition failed to dislodge KANU from power in elections in 1992 and 1997, which were marred by violence and fraud, but are viewed as having generally reflected the will of the Kenyan people. President Moi stepped down in December of 2002 following fair and peaceful elections. Mwai Kibaki, running as the candidate of the multiethnic, united opposition group, the National Rainbow Coalition, defeated KANU candidate Uhuru Kenyatta and assumed the presidency following a campaign centered on an anticorruption platform.
The regional hub for trade and finance in East Africa, Kenya has been hampered by corruption, notably in the judicial system, and by reliance upon several primary goods whose prices have remained low. In 1997, the IMF suspended Kenya's Enhanced Structural Adjustment Program due to the government's failure to maintain reforms and curb corruption. A severe drought from 1999 to 2000 compounded Kenya's problems, causing water and energy rationing and reducing agricultural output. As a result, GDP contracted by 0.2% in 2000. The IMF, which had resumed loans in 2000 to help Kenya through the drought, again halted lending in 2001 when the government failed to institute several anticorruption measures. Despite the return of strong rains in 2001, weak commodity prices, endemic corruption, and low investment limited Kenya's economic growth to 1.2%. Growth lagged at 1.1% in 2002 because of erratic rains, low investor confidence, meager donor support, and political infighting up to the elections. In the key 27 December 2002 elections, Daniel Arap Moi's 24-year-old reign ended, and a new opposition government took on the formidable economic problems facing the nation. In 2003, progress was made in rooting out corruption, and encouraging donor support, with GDP growth edging up to 1.7%.

The Art of Aaron CraftPosted: January 22, 2013 Filed under: Alex Wolff, College Basketball, Weekly Issue | Tags: Aaron Craft, Alexander Wolff, college basketball, Ohio State basketball Comments Off
After a sophomore season in which he was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Ohio State point guard Aaron Craft is wreaking havoc once again on both sides of the court, averaging 1.8 steals and 8.7 points per game this season. In this week's Sports Illustrated, senior writer Alexander Wolff examines how Craft's intelligence, experience as a high school football player, and dedication to studying opponents on film makes him as valuable in his own way to Ohio State as shot blockers like Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton were to UCLA in another era.
Ohio State head coach Thad Matta says Craft's name would come up most often:
"if you polled every coach in this league and asked who they'd want on defense if they're up one with the other team running an isolation (PAGE 66)."
Craft, an academic All-American (3.9 GPA), is almost too good to be true: he's the first one in and out of the gym every day, he writes bible verses on his sneakers, still dates his high school sweetheart, can solve a Rubik's Cube in 55 seconds and neither tweets nor follows anyone's feed. Through the eyes of the most creative and intelligent defensive player in the game, his assignment isn't so much a player to guard, it's a problem to solve.
"He physically beat up our guards," said Florida coach Billy Donavan after a loss to the Buckeyes last season. "And I'm not saying our guards got fouled. Totally within the context of the rules of the game, he manhandled them (PAGE 68).

The return of GDP bonds
GDP bonds are the instrument that refuses to die: Robert Shiller has resuscitated them in the NYT this weekend, this time with equity-like characteristics.
Each trill would represent one-trillionth of the country's G.D.P. And each would pay in perpetuity, and in domestic currency, a quarterly dividend equal to a trillionth of the nation's quarterly nominal G.D.P.
There are lots and lots of reasons why this is a bad idea, not least the fact that measuring the rate of increase of GDP is vastly easier than measuring GDP itself. Bonds like the ones pushed by Jonathan Ford are at least linked to the GDP growth rate; Shiller's bonds, by contrast, are linked to actual nominal GDP, and that's a much harder number to pin down.
But much more seriously, Shiller's "trills" would be incredibly — and unhelpfully — volatile, as David Merkel explains. That fact becomes immediately obvious the minute you realize that if expected long-term nominal GDP growth ever rose above the yield on a sovereign perpetual bond, the value of a "trill" would be infinite.
Right now, the spread between the two numbers is relatively small, at 100bp. (Shiller seems to be using an expectation for long-term GDP growth of 3.4%; Merkel puts the yield on a hypothetical US perpetual bond at 4.4%.) If that spread fell further, the price of a trill would start rising exponentially. Similarly, if that spread were to widen much, the value of a trill would plunge. As a result, there would be a huge amount of market risk involved in buying trills: you could easily lose half or more of your investment if real long-term rates started to rise a lot.
And if trills are bad for the buyers, they're equally bad for the seller. The whole concept of debt finance is predicated on the idea of investing in future growth: the country borrows money from investors for the present and future benefit of the nation as a whole. Shiller's trills turn that concept on its head: the more successful the country becomes, the more it owes its creditors.
The underlying problem here is that sovereigns and individuals can't sell equity in themselves. (That's the main reason why the jock exchange never took off.) The S&P 500 might not be a perfect proxy for investing in the US as a whole, but it's not a bad one either. If people want to buy a volatile investment which goes up, over the long term, in line with national GDP, the stock market is still the best place to look.
Just because these trills may be volatile does not make them a completely useless product. If the product is available, the market will decide whether it is useful or not. What would be potentially more interesting is if this market could be subject to manipulation by national or supranational agencies… now that is an interesting prospect!
And in general it is very unlikely that the expected long-long term nominal growth rate of the economy would ever exceed the yield of this US perp bond. If anything, the presence of this additional security might help eliminate mispricing in the perp bond market!
wallstworker @ http://the-moneyverse.blogspot.com/
"the more successful the country becomes, the more it owes its creditors"
This is, of course, more or less the point; conversely, the less successful the country, the less it owes its creditors.

Hawks forward Marvin Williams has been suspended for two games without pay, starting with Saturday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Williams was suspended for his involvement in a fight in the Hawks' Friday night game against the New York Knicks. With less than a minute to play in the 111-102 win, Williams pushed and threw a punch at the Knicks' Shawne Williams, earning him an immediate ejection. The Knicks' Shawne Williams was also ejected and suspended for one game.
NBA rules dictate that any player who throws a punch will be ejected, suspended for at least one game and fined. The amount of Williams' fine was not available. Williams will also miss Thursday's home game against Toronto and be eligible to return for the Saturday home game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Williams made the trip with the team to Dallas, but will not be allowed in the arena for the game. It will be the 16th game that Williams has missed out of the Hawks' 47 games thus far this season.
The Hawks could use Williams against Dallas, which is 30-15 and has won its past three games.

I told them last night that fight was worth 1- 2 games. All, the knuckle heads were screaming for 6, 8, 9 games. What planets to they live on?
The Bad Girls Club have more fight in them and they fight hard and dirty.
That, was a cat fight out there, a 2 gamer for the winner sounds about right.
I guess Marvin is really pissed about warming his buns on the bench.
Oh Well, whatever.

The Hawks have proven they can win without Marvin, so this is no major loss as far as I'm concerned. Regardless of who is healthy and who isn't, the formula for the Hawks stays the same. Post up Smoove or Joe in the low post or set up Al with mid range shots and opportunities to drive on slower defenders, and the Hawks will win. Get away from those strategies, and they will lose.
I am a little surprised that it's only two games, but I have given up on trying to understand the NBA's rationale for handing out punishments a long time ago. To me, KG's love tap on Channing Frye yesterday is a much more punishable offense than anything the Hawks or Knicks did yesterday, but I'd be really surprised if KG got suspended for it.

This incident should be in Websters Dictionary under "Double Edged Sword". No, we as a civilized society that places importance on athletes cannot justify their actions when they turn violent. That being said, man it was nice to see them have a burning desire to beat the other team. That's the difference between Playoff teams and Championship teams. The Celtics of old. They wanted to humiliate you. The Bulls of old. Same thing. The Lakers of yesterday and today. They don't want to just beat you. They want to demoralize you in every facet of the game. They won games before they played. They won games between the ears of the opposing players. Remember when the Bulls were winning all the time? They had the scorers, yes. But they also had a Rodman. A player that would do anything he could to get inside your head. And once he was there, it was over. The Hawks have the potential to be a "Bulls-Lite". We don't have Jordan and Pippen. But we do have Smith, Johnson, and Crawford. We don't have Rodman, but apparently we have Marvin Williams. If we can get into some teams heads, we can go on a serious roll.

Well, I think that all of the Hawks were pretty angry because for the biggest part of the 4rth qtr, you would ahve thought that Phillips Arena was Madison Square Garden… I think whatever happened was just the final straw that set Marvin W. off. But I DON'T think that he's that type of a player, or a person.

They looked like 2 high school girls fighting – throw a "punch" and back up.
Pathetic, and the "punches" would not have hurt anyone if landed, just wild swinging of the arms for the most part. Those two could fight for an hour without pain or drawing blood – no leverage and no skill.

Finally, Marvin showed some fire, He has, as Bruno would put it, "Uber Talent", he just have to play with some passion, the we Hawks fan will be saying, "Chris Paul who, Deron Williams what". Play with some fire young man. Marvin Williams told that player from the Knicks just before he hit him, Tell me Charlie Murphy what did the 5 fingers say to the side of the face "SLAP", hahahahaha, DARKNESS EVERYBODY DARKNESS. The Knicks player kep saying, I'm not Charlie Murphy put it did get dark in here really quick. HAHAHAHAHAH

northclyde as well as others have made a good point regarding fans to the hawks. I have always wondered why some hawks fans are fickle and dont always show up for the games. It is really about putting a good product out there. Of course they arent going to sin the championship but for the/ past few years they have been competitive team up until the second round of the playoffs. The hawks team have gotten a lot further than teams such as Bulls, Kings Warriors the past few years but fans of the Warriors and Bulls and Kings support their fans even when they have put mediocre to bad teams out there.

And the thing with KG, is that it's the 2nd time ( that I can remember ), him doing something like that. I remember him doing that exact same thing during the playoffs when he was with Minnesota. I believe they were playing the Kings.
Meanwhile, I want to see the same Josh Smith tonight, that played last night. Start the game by ATTACKING, not SETTLING. When he attacks, we're a top 5 team. When he settles, we can lose to any top 20 team.
That goes for you too JJ. If you miss a few jumpers, don't keep jacking them up. Attack that lane.
We won an ugly, grind it out game last year, with JJ having a monster game. If we have to win ugly tonight, so be it. I'll definitely take a 76 – 73 win tonight.
January 29th, 2011
8:34 pm
I was at the game last night and it sucked all balls to hear those new York fans in the second half. They were just as loud but perhaps a quarter of the fans. Chanting defense when we has the ball and yelling at our guy when we had the free throw attempts. It pissed Al off and he gave the crowd a boost when he asked the crowd to get involved after he made.
That being the case, i couldn't be prouder of MArv. He showed heart that he hasn't shown since he has been here. The atmosphere was intense and he actually responded to it. Phillips was chanting his name as he left.
If we can get that type of passion out of him we might be able to turn the second half of the season into something special.

To be blunt, last night was an embarrassment with respect to Atlanta's sports fans. I remember sometime in the late 90's I went to a game against the Knicks, and it was the first (but not the last) time I went to a game where there were more fans for the opposing team than for the home team. I've lived in 3 other cities (Miami, Philly, and Washington) with pro basketball teams since then and have been to multiple games (including games against marquee teams) for each. Not once have I been to a game in another city where the the away team got more than a smattering of support. Philly fans had a fondness for booing their own players, but never cheering for the other team.
That being said, I don't blame Atlantans per se. My uncle (a native New Yorker who moved to Atlanta) called Atlanta the Lost Sixth Borough because of the number of people from New York who live in the metro area. The city is the only major metro area in the country where most of the population was born elsewhere. I've always cheered for the Hawks no matter where I've lived, and don't blame other transplant fans for doing the same.
It's still understandably frustrating for the players, though.

Btw. Anybody that thinks Al had his way with Amare last night is insane. Amare was beastin last night and got into the lane anytime he wanted. He is playing like an MVP.

"I've noticed that fans in Atlanta when it comes to basketball seem to have no allegiance to the Hawks."
You are right about the citizens of Atlanta having no alligence to the Hawks. That is because the majority of people living in Atlanta have no alligence to the city. There care more about there teams back home. It is rare to meet an Atlanta sport franchise fan anywhere except Georgia. The one exception being the Braves. There are Braves fans everywhere. the Braves are the closest thing to a regional team in Atlanta. Brave fans show up in opposing stadiums, just like the Lakers. As far as being a life long Atlanta Hawk fan, I am sick and tired of all of the bungling! How many top draft picks have the Hawks had over the last fifteen years? We traded Nique for Danny Manning? Where's Nash, Amare, Nowitski, etc… We could have drafted Paul, we got Marvin. All of those top draft picks and we could not hit on any of them? The Hawks need a new owner.

@ Niremetal…
It was that Knicks-vs-Hawks playoff game in 1999 in the Georgia Dome. Spreewell, Houston, and Camby exposed the Hawks. Knicks fans (using the term loosely) were chanting "Let's go Knicks" like it was 1969 game 7… It was sad!
