Kargeen Caffe
With a choice of open-air and majlis -style dining (on sedans in small rooms), this excellent restaurant has spilt into a courtyard of illuminated trees to create a thoroughly Arabian experience.
With a choice of open-air and majlis -style dining (on sedans in small rooms), this excellent restaurant has spilt into a courtyard of illuminated trees to create a thoroughly Arabian experience.
This top-class restaurant, with superb Arabian ambience created by fire pits and subtle lighting, serves exciting, complex fare in a luxurious beachside location. The French pastry chef at the hotel's indoor restaurant makes wicked confections, including delectable handmade chocolates, if your sweet tooth tempts you. The four-course degustation menu is excellent.
This is a simple venue with outdoor seating on the pavement but it has one of the best night-time views in Oman. Situated opposite the souq, the cafe overlooks the fort and mosque, both of which are lit up spectacularly at night. It sells shwarma and kebabs, and is always busy with locals who generally pull up in the car and toot for a takeaway.
One of the few restuarants to offer dining with a sea view, this open-air restaurant under the coconut palms offers a different themed buffet each night. Call ahead to reserve a beach-side table if you want to watch the waders dash in and out of the flood-lit waves, finding their supper as you eat yours.
Right on the main road, this popular venue offers sizzling kebabs marinated in the chef's best spices, reputedly from Ottoman origin, and naughty triple-decker fruit juices. If these aren't hitting the spot, then the freshly baked baklavas right next door from the Bab Al-Hara sweet shop surely will.
One of the few places in Muscat to serve local Omani dishes. Caters mainly for homesick Omani traders, with seating on old carpets in private rooms with a television. Forgiving the the unglamorous surroundings, the food is generally good quality and authentic and it feels good to support the local culture.
Part of a small chain of Omani-style restaurants, this is one of the few places where you have the opportunity to sample local dishes. It is just a pity that the restaurant hasn't risen to the challenge of increased tourists looking for an authentic experience because the rather grubby private rooms are not the best ambience for dinner on the ground. Still, it's worth a try.
There is nothing automatic about the Lebanese fare from this chain of Lebanese restaurants: they serve uniformly good-quality food with friendly service in cheap and cheerful surroundings. Whatever you order, a dish of leaves (lettuce, radish and mint) is provided free and makes a good garnish for the kebabs, felafel and hummus staples.
Left of the entrance to Mutrah Souq, with tables on the pavement, this thoroughly typical local-style restaurant is an ideal place to people-watch over a shwarma and a chi libton (tea-bag tea with sweet condensed milk). If the tables here are full, there are a couple of neighbouring eateries that will do just as nicely.
In an area of few tourist amenities, this new restaurant serving simple international fare offers a welcome break along the Ibra–Sur Hwy on the outskirts of the desert hub of Mintirib. It looks set to serve as a meeting point for those planning an excursion into the sands and a chance to discuss driving tactics over a coffee.
Nervous Omani hospitality students practise their culinary and waiting skills at this exceptionally good-value restaurant. Menus comprise mostly top-notch international dishes. Encouraging these youngsters on their chosen career path is a great way to make your visit to Muscat count. Ring to book a table as it gets busy.
Specialising in Northern Indian Mughlai cuisine, Mumtaz Mahal is more than just the best Indian restaurant in town – it is part of the landscape of Muscat. Perched on a hill overlooking Qurm Nature Reserve, with live sitar performances, traditional seating at low tables, and lantern-light, this restaurant is a local legend.

8,265 acres, 1.5 mile rail trail, open to hunting and fishing with special regulations, there are some roads and trails, most areas have no developed access, wildlife photography is popular
The only National Wildlife Refuge located entirely within the state of Kentucky, the Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1997. It is now over 8,000 acres in total size, with land purchasing still happening to reach a goal of 18,000 acres. The land is mostly bottom hardwoods and wetlands. This provides great habitat for a number of animals, birds and plants. Forty miles of the Clark River cut through the refuge, which lies in Marshall and McCracken counties. The refuge is open to both hunting and fishing, but special regulations apply for both. There is a half-mile rail trail located on the refuge near the town on Benton. Before heading out to hunt, fish, photograph or explore, be sure to stop by the refuge's headquarters and pick up the necesary permits or information. If you find yourself in western Kentucky, take a look around Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge and enjoy western Kentucky the way nature intended.

if its not on there than i wont be upgrading. Personally i doubt any 4.0 software will be better than my current 3.1.2 jailbroken.
We shall see
if multitasking is unavailable in the new os then im gunna opt for a sony xperia 10 and flog the 3gs.
My good friend Mr Slippers said that Steve is going to get a mullet from the liquor store and......... I give up?
Thats it, I really hate Apples way of dealing with the User, I wonder what the iPhone 4.0 will look like, if its no major update I think of getting myself an Android Phone, probably a HTC Desire.
@n00neimportant 3.2 for the IPHONE was released to devs a couple days ago my man
@hnic247, OS 3.2 for the iPad is iPhone OS. Devs have had that OS (beta builds and gold) for some time now.
Will it be available on Thursday? or just be told what it includes?
Who says there's no 3.2 for iPhone? I'm pretty sure i read on iClarified that it's been released to devs or something.
Flash isn't going to die anytime soon fyi. iPhone 4th gen better be a good update and OS 4.0, if not I'll be sticking with my 3GS or getting a HTC HD3.
they are just making an announcement about the OS and what it will include. im sure it will be just as boring as the iPad announcement with no information on the new iPhone.
Of course there's a 3.2 SDK for iPhoneOS, the iPad runs on it. But 3.2 will NOT be released to iPhone users. 3.2 is an iPad-exclusive system update.
For the skeptics, send me a PM once you update your iPhone to 3.2. We'll see how many PMs I get.
Ill buy it :d! Multi sound good! ~
i think i might join you on that purchase of an htc hd3 actually the specs are absoloutly stunning.
* 4.5″ AMOLED screen with 1280×800 resolution
* 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
* 1080p HD video playback
* 720p HD video recording
* 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash
* Multi-touch screen
* Super-thin – just 10mm thick
* WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity
* 4G connectivity for for blisteringly fast downloads that are over ten times as fast as today's HSDPA phones
* 1GB onboard RAM
* 1GB onboard
* 32GB external memory
* 3.5″ headphone jack
* HDMI output for connecting to your HDTV or monitor
* 1800mAh battery for super-long battery life
* Bigger screen than the HD2, but a smaller overall physical size: 115mm x 65mm x 10mm
i hope the next iphone packs a punch as good as this as i really do enjoy a jb 3gs but the above stats will take some beating

Spanking is as old as the hills. People have been spanking their kids as a form of punishment or discipline for a very long time. Some parents believe how they discipline their child is their business, and spanking is no big deal. A new study suggests that spanking is a big deal, and may increase a child's risk of mental disorders later in life
In the new study, Tracie Afifi, of the University of Manitoba in Canada, and colleagues analyzed information from more than 34,600 U.S. adults, ages 20 and older, who were surveyed between 2004 and 2005.
Participants were asked, "As a child how often were you ever pushed, grabbed, shoved, slapped or hit by your parents or any adult living in your house?"
About 6 percent of participants said they experienced these forms of physical punishment sometimes, fairly often, or very often in childhood, without experiencing other forms of maltreatment.
Those who experienced physical punishment were 59 percent more likely to have alcohol dependence, 41 percent more like to have depression and 24 percent more likely to have panic disorder, compared with those who received no physical punishments, the researchers said.
Among adults, 2 to 7 percent of cases of mental disorders — including major depression, anxiety disorder and paranoia — are attributable to physical punishment that occurred during childhood, the researchers said.
The study did not include people who experienced maltreatment as children, such as such as physical or sexual abuse, or emotional neglect.
The study adds to a growing body of research showing that physical punishment in childhood can lead to poor mental health in adulthood, including increased risk of depression, suicidal thoughts and alcohol abuse.
The findings suggest that eliminating all physical punishment of children would reduce the prevalence of mental disorders, the researchers said.
The researchers noted the study found an association, and not a cause-effect link. In addition, the study was limited in that participants were asked to remember their childhood experiences, which may not be entirely accurate, although research suggests people can remember negative events in childhood well.
In this country, there continues to be a great deal of controversy regarding the use of physical punishment with children. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) opposes physical punishment. However, close to 50 percent of U.S. adults say they experienced physical punishment as children, such as being pushed, grabbed, shoved or spanked.
Many experts that work with children suggest alternative methods of discipline work much better than spanking when you're teaching your child what is expected of them.
The AAP has an excellent online article, "How to Respond With Effective Discipline", that gives parents an outline to work with.
Whether you believe that spanking is necessary or that physical punishment of children is wrong, the study offers something to consider when contemplating the best way to discipline a child.

9:00 - 12:00 Nursery School Program
All students attend the 9:00 - 12:00 Nursery School program. The children are divided into two classes, a junior class for 3- year olds turning 4 and a senior class for 4- 5 year olds. Each class participates in a variety of whole and small group activities as well as self chosen play activities, such as the block and dramatic play areas. Teachers encourage cooperation and problem solving skills as children learn to play and work together. Good citizenship is our goal. Autonomy is fostered through daily routines as children practice self help skills, make and carry out plans for play, and contribute to classroom upkeep. Art activites are designed to encourage self expression, creativity and to explore materials. Teachers are intentional in planning actvities based on children's interests and varying developmental levels. Teachers and children form close relationships making each child feel valued and respected. Children build the base skills needed for reading, writing and arithmetic through hands-on, fun and appropriately challenging experiences. There are lots of opportunities for exploring, asking questions and discovering. Our classrooms are very busy places!
9:00 - 1:30 Extended Day Program
Our extended day allows a child to stay until 1:30 and enjoy lunch at school, perfect for the parent that works part-time. Both classes come together at noon to say goodbye to our morning friends and then enjoy their lunches brought from home.
7:45 - 4:45 Full Day Program
The full day children eat lunch at 12:30 and then prepare for nap with a favorite story. Each child is provided with a mat, pillow and lots of TLC from teachers to make nap time an enjoyable experience. Children awaken to a snack and a variety of activities to choose until picked up at the end of the day. Our afternoons and our early mornings are slow- paced with plenty of individual attention to meet the special needs of full day children.

In a letter this week, the U.S. Department of Education warns Georgia that it is at risk of losing $33 million of its $400 million Race to the Top grant because of its requests to alter its teacher evaluation plans.
If Georgia is unable to address the department's concerns, it could lose roughly $33 million of its $400 million—the portion dedicated to implementing the state's teacher-evaluation plan. Why isn't the whole thing being put on high-risk status? Right now, Georgia has demonstrated sufficient progress on the rest of its plan, the department wrote.
Georgia isn't the first state to see its Race to the Top grant put on high-risk status because of tricky teacher-evaluation issues. Earlier this year, Hawaii came close to losing its grant, in part because its union hasn't yet embraced its teacher-evaluation plan. Hawaii was able to keep its grant, but it remains on high-risk status. And, unlike Georgia, Hawaii's entire grant was put on high-risk status because it was behind on other parts of its plan as well. Also, plenty of other states have submitted amendments to their plans or are behind on their promises. Race to the Top, which offered states $4 billion for embracing certain reform priorities, is the Obama administration's signature K-12 initiative.
Interestingly, peer reviewers gave Hawaii and Georgia the highest scores in the second phase of the Race to the Top program in the area of teacher evaluation.
Here is the letter from US DOE to Gov. Nathan Deal about the problems:
July 2, 2012
The Honorable Nathan Deal
Office of the Governor
State of Georgia
203 State Capitol
Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Governor Deal:
I am writing about Georgia's performance on its approved Race to the Top grant project, and in response to Georgia's request to amend its Race to the Top plan. Georgia's Race to the Top Scope of Work was approved on July 20, 2011. This Scope of Work includes specific goals and activities that must be met in order to meet the commitments outlined in Georgia's approved application.
After careful review of Georgia's implementation of its teacher and leader evaluation system as outlined in goals 1-4 in Section D of its approved Scope of Work through the June 2012 on-site review, monthly calls, amendment requests, and follow up conversations, as appropriate, the U.S. Department of Education is placing this portion of Georgia's Race to the Top grant on high-risk status under 34 CFR 80.12. The basis of this determination is detailed below.
The Department is concerned about the overall strategic planning, evaluation, and project management for that system, which includes decisions regarding the quality of the tools and measures used during the educator evaluation pilot and the scalability of the supports the State offered to participating districts.
Also, over the past twelve months, Georgia has submitted to the Department two major amendments in addition to the one detailed in this letter, that, when taken as a whole, may constitute significant changes to the educator evaluation system in the State's approved plan. The State has requested these amendments in isolation and prior to finalizing dependent deliverables, such as reviewing and analyzing data from the pilot year. These proposed changes have implications for professional development, tools, resources, guidance, ratings and communication with relevant stakeholders that have not been fully addressed thus far. Finally, given the information provided by the State and LEAs, the Department is, at this time, concerned about the technical, policy, and implementation implications of these revisions to its educator evaluation system.
As a condition of high-risk status, Georgia must submit no later than August 1, 2012 a revised SY 2012-2013 work plan for application sub-criterion (D)(2) (goals 1-4 in Section D of Georgia's Scope of Work). This plan must include clear timelines, activities and deliverables for:
1) Management and oversight procedures and routines to oversee project implementation, including ways to identify and address dependencies between multiple projects, timelines, activities, and deliverables;
2) A rigorous and transparent process for reviewing components used in its educator evaluation system, including student and peer surveys and the reduction of the student achievement gap.
3) Educator engagement and communication systems and activities for SY 2012-2013 for all educators;
4) Mechanisms to gather rigorous systematic and ongoing formative feedback from educators participating in the educator evaluation system; and
5) Critical decision points where feedback from educators and data will be used to inform potential changes to the educator evaluation before full implementation in SY 2013-2014.
In addition, the State must submit monthly updates in accordance with the work plan described above so the Department can determine if the State is making adequate progress.
Finally, the State must submit a report no later than July 2013 summarizing the analysis and findings related to validation of all components of its educator evaluation system. This report should include information regarding trainings and support provided to pilot districts, communication materials, evaluation activities, and a proposal for any revisions to the educator evaluation system in SY 2013-2014.
The Department will reassess the high-risk designation if the State demonstrates substantial progress implementing the work plan outlined above. The Department will work with Georgia to identify appropriate technical assistance to support this work.
If Georgia does not substantially comply with the conditions outlined above, the Department may take appropriate enforcement action which may include initiating procedures to withhold up to $33,066,306 associated with projects in sub-criterion (D)(2) of the State's Race to the Top plan. At this time, the State has demonstrated sufficient progress across all other areas of its Race to the Top plan.
Amendment Request
Between April 18, 2012 and June 28, 2012, the State submitted information regarding an amendment request to the Department. The Department has the authority to approve amendments to your plan and budget, provided that such a change does not alter the scope or objectives of the approved proposal. On October 4, 2011, the Department sent a letter and revised "Grant Amendment Submission Process" document to Governors of grantee States indicating the process by which amendments would be reviewed and approved or denied. To determine whether approval could be granted, the Department has applied the conditions, and compared it with the Race to the Top Program Principles, which are included in that document.
For the project area of Great Teachers and Leaders, Georgia has proposed to move the survey component of their teacher and leader evaluation systems as a separate measure and instead use it as a piece of evidence in "Qualitative Measures," within its observation protocol based on feedback from participating staff in pilot school districts and the Technical Advisory Committee. In its approved plans, the survey component is worth 10% and the observation protocol composes 40% of a teacher's rating. For principals, the survey component also comprises 10%, but the observation component composes 30% of a principal's rating. In addition, the State has requested to remove the survey component entirely for students in kindergarten through second grade.
The Department approves Georgia's request to remove the requirement for surveys to be administered to students in kindergarten through second grade. However, for all other grades and for the climate survey for principals, the survey component of the evaluation system requires significant revision and validation prior to implementing it in SY 2012-2013. In addition, the State has not provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate how the survey component would be effectively incorporated and used within its proposed approach or the larger implications of this proposal to the evaluation system as a whole. Therefore, the Department approves Georgia's request for all other grades and principals based on compliance with the conditions outlined below:
1) Georgia must submit to the Department evidence of an improved or new survey tool that addresses the technical concerns raised by the Georgia Technical Advisory Committee and participating school districts prior to implementing in SY 2012-2013.
2) In its August 1, 2012 plan outlined above, Georgia must include specific timelines, activities, and deliverables for executing against the State's proposal to use survey results as evidence in the observation protocol that include:
a. Implementation and integration of the survey component in the larger teacher and leader evaluation system during SY 2012-2013;
b. Communication and professional development activities with all impacted educators; and
c. Mechanisms to ensure the data are used consistently across school districts.
On June 15, 2012, Georgia submitted a report to the Department in response to the conditions included in the Department's January 9, 2012 approval of the removal of the student achievement gap component of its teacher evaluation system for SY 2011-2012. In conformance with the condition, Georgia's report included the steps taken to investigate other methods of calculating the reduction of the student achievement gap at the classroom level, the results of that analysis, and a proposal for the implementation of the component in SY 2012-2013. Based on the report that Georgia submitted, it has minimally fulfilled the specified conditions. As stated in January 9, 2012 letter, the Department has reevaluated Georgia's request and is concerned that this request in combination with the survey request previously discussed may constitute a significant change to the educator evaluation system described in the State's approved application. Therefore, the Department is not making a final determination at this time and will reevaluate this request when the State complies with the conditions outlined above. It is our understanding that this component will remain in the leader evaluation system.
The Department appreciates the dedication and hard work of Georgia's Race to the Top leadership team and recognizes their commitment to implementing the best possible evaluation system for Georgia's educators. The Department will continue to provide assistance to Georgia as you work to meet the commitments included under goals 1-4 in Section D of its approved Scope of Work, and across its Race to the Top grant and will contact you in the next week to discuss additional technical assistance. If you need any assistance or have any questions regarding Race to the Top, please do not hesitate to contact me. As is our practice with all Race to the Top amendments, this letter will be posted on the Department's website.

Must we have a "race" to the top? Very angst-ridden term.
What strikes me most in this is how the language of corporate America has infiltrated the public schools: deliverables, stakeholders, management, oversight, high-risk status, scalability, dependencies, timelines, etc., all in one document! Seems like it's all about the corporate training of our kids. Maybe local school decisions and funding are just fine by themselves than trying to satisfy the Fed?

The Department approves Georgia's request to remove the requirement for surveys to be administered to students in kindergarten through second grade.
Translation: We feel perfectly comfortable allowing 8 years to judge the PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS of educators. We feel perfectly comfortable asking children who can't read to READ and fill out a survey that will help determine the PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS of educators.
And you wonder why professionals are leaving? Seriously?

We are going to offer you millions in exchange for creating a new layer of government bureaucracy that this grant can NOT possibly sustain, which in essence will create unfunded mandates that will cost millions if not BILLIONS more for Georgia to sustain over time?
This is "hope and change"? And the ones DESPERATE to get this "deal" claim they are the "fiscally responsible" crowd?
Put them ALL in the SAME room and spend the money on "I'm with Stupid" T-Shirts.

@Maureen, this is very simple. A vision means nothing without solid execution. Georgia may have been given high marks on its "vision," but clearly, it has struggled with its implementation.

@Jefferson – this is called checks and balances. The fed shouldn't give states a "blank check." These awards came with conditions, and it is good that the DOE is not squandering taxpayer dollars.

The Department appreciates the dedication and hard work of Georgia's Race to the Top leadership team and recognizes their commitment to implementing the best possible evaluation system for Georgia's educators.
EIGHT YEAR OLDS are an essential component of "the best possible evaluation system for Georgia's educators"?
Is this from The Onion?

This worry and so many others would vanish overnight—if we went to a market-based K-12 system (as in higher education) where parents are free to choose their kids' schools.
Parents who make consumer decisions based on facts they themselves consider important can't later complain. Teachers who agree to perform work for stipulated compensation terms can't later whine.
And Maureen could possibly move on to another interest.

In regards to: "The Department is concerned about the overall strategic planning, evaluation, and project management for that system, which includes decisions regarding the quality of the tools and measures used during the educator evaluation pilot and the scalability of the supports the State offered to participating districts.
The new teacher evaluation tool that Fulton County is rolling out next year is of great "concern" when teachers will be partly evaluated by administrators that are unqualifed in the subject areas that are being taught; and by which parent and student surveys results are measured in teachers' evaluations.
The pilot of this "performance tool" was administered in my school and it was mere fiasco: administrators had no clue what they were evaluating and provided ZERO support to teachers; teachers were burdened with more paperwork and record keeping; overall school morale was at its lowest point in years; student achievement was NOT AT ALL positively impacted by this ludicrous and nebulous performance measurement. It was the ultimate "blind leading the blind" experience.
My opinion is that Georgia stands to lose more than 32 million in the near future if the State doesn't know its head from its tail.

It seems you all want "handouts." Blank checks with no strings attached. The bottom line is that Georgia promised something it couldn't deliver on. I'd rather our taxpayer dollars be used towards entities that deliver on what they promise.

@GwinnettParentz: "This worry and so many others would vanish overnight—if we went to a market-based K-12 system (as in higher education) where parents are free to choose their kids' schools."
Reminder – those higher education establishments are also free to choose their students. People conveniently forget that part. Under a voucher or completely free market system, you may want your child to go to Northview, Walton, Marist, or Lovett, but they may not want your child. Harvard has cache in part because it's exclusive.

Solutions you will find yourself suprised again, with your miopic view. You were told.
July 3rd, 2012

There are approximately 116,000 employed public school teachers in Georgia. 33 milliion dollars is not that much. I bet most teachers will pay 286 dollars each to NOT have this evaluation tool that will require several hours of training per teacher, administrators behind closed doors evaluating student responses, and require extra overhead staff to process the data. This evaluation effort has no impact on student achievement. Tell the U.S. Dept of Ed to keep their money. Don't jump through these moving hoops.

@NTLB: I was a teacher in Fulton County, 1987-2006. I was ALWAYS evaluated by administrators who had no knowledge of my subject area (history.) This isn't anything new. I was once tempted to provide students with totally false information during an observation just to see what would happen. I resisted the tenptation.

Georgia needs to slow the entire process down. I had a friend in the pilot last year and it didn't even begin until 2nd semester. She gave her kids the pretest one month and the post test the next. She created her own method of providing documentation that was required, which means that teachers at other schools were probably doing something totally different. And no one got training, which means we'll all be making up our own thing this school year. What a mess!

I am very upset with the governor and the republicans because they are taking the paraprofessionals away from the students and the teachers. The paraprofessionals are just as important to the students and the parents as the teachers are even moreso than the teachers because we are more in tune with the para's than the teacher and the para's are beloved by the children. The parents see this and love what they've done for their children. I am a parent that really counts on the paraprofessional at my school in georgia. They are valuable and very much needed.

I would gladly pay $286 to get out from under this waste of time and get back to actually teaching my students what is important. Every minute spent generating this new required paperwork is a minute I cannot spend on lesson planning or paper grading.I stay till six or seven most days now, and I have some of the highest test scores in the county, but I can only devote so much time to teaching and every minute spent documenting and building up a notebook is a minute my students are cheated out of. I am thinking that this may be my last year not because of the students but because of the federal and state bureaucrats who know nothing about teaching but ACT as if they know it all and have all the solutions.

Governor Deal,
Your chief of staff told me (a month or so before the election) that you were dead-set against Race to the Top. A few days later (I'm sure under some sort of fiscal pressure) you changed your mind. I wonder how much grumbling has since come from your office about the fact that we are under RTTP provisions.
That being said, I will be glad to draft your response to Arne. I can think of a couple of places that he can stick that 33 million.

I like this part "including student and peer surveys…" but I want it to also include parent feedbac, particularly for elementary schools. The students aren't old enough as kindergarteners to even write what they want to express. Neither are first and second graders.
and I wonder if any teacheres on this blog read the entire post. It has a detail I think every teacher would cheer about "Mechanisms to gather rigorous systematic and ongoing formative feedback from educators participating in the educator evaluation system"
formative feedback from teachers…that's what teachers on this blog are always wanting — or say they want — is more power to shape their profession. this is a part of the grant — it says GA has to listen to teacher feedback.
and to student feedback but lacking is the overall ommission of parent feedback. How is an elementary-aged child supposed to correctly evaluate a teacher?

The pilot program was ridiculous. Started end of January, post test in March, criteria for growth was ridiculous and unrealistic. County level and Admins were clueless. It ended up being ALOT of extra paperwork and stress for the teachers. All of it thrown at the teachers at the last minute. The webinars and other teacher training were not the greatest either. All this because Georgia was greedy for the federal bucks and jumped on the bandwagon a**backwards.

Georgia public education (GAPubEd) doesn't need to be "racing" to the top, to the bottom or even to Wal-Mart. GAPubEd needs a comprehensive, systematic,sustained, long-term effort toward public school improvement as demonstrated by reasonable gains as well as nationally- and internationally-comparable achievement in the academic knowledge, skills and attitudes of the graduates they produce.

@GoodMother—clearly the report is blaming Georgia for NOT DELIVERING on the ongoing teacher feedback format. When this fictitious component becomes a reality in our schools, then I will cheer.

"The Department approves Georgia's request to remove the requirement for surveys to be administered to students in kindergarten through second grade.
Translation: We feel perfectly comfortable allowing 8 years to judge the PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS of educators. We feel perfectly comfortable asking children who can't read to READ and fill out a survey that will help determine the PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS of educators.
And you wonder why professionals are leaving? Seriously?"
@Beverly Fraud- Exactly!

Deal probably realizes that fully implementing a rigorous teacher evaluation program will result in howls of "racism" and will bring Jesse and Al down here to lead "protests" faster than you can say "stick it to whitey".

Another issue is time. They piloted part of a new eval system this year and apparently across the board administrators had difficulty completing all the needed observations, and this is with a tiny fraction of staff being used as pilot teachers. I can't imagine the time needed to perform them for all staff. They tend to have to swoop in classrooms in a rush to do the few mandated now, how will they perform the new ones and have time to do anything else, let alone make sure to look for the dozens of new "best practices" we should all be using simultaneously in one lesson?
July 3rd, 2012

I always thought that $33 million was a drop in the bucket considering all the time and effort that will be spent on implementation…..It is worthless. And yes, it is a prime example of the problems inherent in our federal government. If you want me to teach, allow me the time to plan and support me by taking out the students who are habitually disruptive and don't want to learn and trust my judgment regarding those that struggle. I am a professional, at least, I thought so!

The politics of this country make me sick. GA—> let em keep their 33 million, not worth it.
July 3rd, 2012
9:03 pm
IT is very interesting how teachers on this blog complain about a lack of funding schools…and then call 33 MILLION dollars a drop in the bucket.
If the 33 million was for teacher pay it would all the sudden be an enormous amount of money but if it used to actually evaluate the teacher, then it is nothing.
No matter the blog topic, if it involves evaluating teachers…the bloggers here don't want it. Face it, any person who does a job has to be evaluated.
If anhy person does not want to be evaluated for their job, then quit and become an unpaid volunteer.
If you want to get paid, you HAVE to be evaluated — just like the rest of us.

Get the Feds out of public ed… let the states do their thing…. it's such a waste of taxpayer money — it's our money at all levels.
July 3rd, 2012

Is federal money worth federal control? Nope. If teachers are going to be evaluated on parent and student surveys, you are just asking for grade inflation (which is already bad enough with HOPE). "90 and a pleasure to teach" will be the default report card entry

@ Good Mother – I have no problem being evaluated by my peers and or administrators. However, I do have a problem being evaluated by my high school students. They are not qualified nor mature enough to assess my teaching skills. I am not in this profession to win a popularity contest.
July 3rd, 2012
10:30 pm
Deal messed up by even pursuing this worthless grant. But, the Governor's Chief of Staff needed a job at the time….before Barge fired her.
July 3rd, 2012
11:17 pm
I am a high school teacher in a school which piloted. Students in my school went to computer labs to complete the surveys, and were monitored by other teachers. Less than half of my students completed the survey. I have not yet seen the questions or the students' responses-no feedback at all. I have heard that the surveys may count 10% of my evaluation. I also have taught a subject for many years "outside the core" so there is no pretest, post test, or End of Course Test to measure my students' progress. I want to be evaluated by someone who can fairly evaluate what goes on in my classroom. We are building this plane while it's in the air.
July 4th, 2012
12:03 am
Please, just leave us alone and let us teach! Most of us are pretty good at it. Any administrator with half a brain knows who the lousy teachers are. Start documentation and get them out. The rest of us will thank you.

We should loose more $$ b/c we failed to keep a statewide alternative authorizer of charter schools. Let's "vote yes" in November and allow the state to approve charter schools along with local boards of education.
July 4th, 2012
1:28 am
By all means, bring on my evaluations but I'll be dammed if I am going to be judged on the success of students whose parents don't do their part or students who don't follow the rules. I have already found success in my classroom by calling on the school social worker to report neglect if a student sleeps often in class, rarely does their homework, or is just unruly. Just a warning, be careful what you ask for! Actually, this might have the unintended consequence of rooting out the loser parents which is a very good thing.

The next generation Volkswagen Jetta has already been spotted testing and it is expected to make its official debut by the end of the year. The U.S. however, should not expect a diesel version to arrive on the US market until early 2011.
The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta is strikingly similar to Volkswagen's New Compact Concept displayed at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show . The Jetta has lower side lines and a revamped fascia while still maintaining a strong VW face. Following the look of the concept, the Jetta will have integrated Bi-Xenon headlights which will include LED daytime running and turn signal lights.
Under the hood there will be a direct injected TDI engine that will deliver a total of 140 HP and 236 lbs-ft of torque and will be mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or the six-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox.

Slater sat early in Tahiti and now sits at 4 on the back half of 2012 with 5 more events. But remember...Surfer Kelly Slater's wave of success is as big as ever.
Slater is not only the most successful surfer ever (11 world titles), but he's also one of the most accomplished athletes ever. And at 40, he's surfing as well as he ever has.
But this is not likely whats going on inside his genious brain. He's not used to losing early esp at Teahupoo. He is however used to coming from behind and nabbing victories. More than any surfer in History. Here's a look into one of Sports most dominant figures ever.
At the Florida shorebreak, the boy surveyed the Atlantic Ocean as it punched land.
He calculated the sizes and shapes of the undulating waves, analyzed the angles and directions as they arrived and deciphered what he believed was a language meant just for him.
"I felt like I was interacting with the waves," Kelly Slater says, "and they were interacting with me."
About a decade later, the 15-year-old danced with the Pacific Ocean off Hawaii, and other surfers saw how he read the water in ways they could not, as if he were plugged into its energy and had uncovered secret rhythms.
"He had a connection with the way the ocean moved that was light-years beyond his peers," says Chris Malloy, Slater's longtime friend.
Now 40, Slater is still beyond his peers and his legend has moved to the discussion of "Greatest Athlete Ever." Crunching the numbers, it's an argument that holds water.
"If nothing else, it's an interesting debate," Slater says, shrugging.
It is not just that the Cocoa Beach, Fla., native has a record 49 Assn. of Surfing Professionals Elite Tour wins — he's shooting for No. 50 this week at the Nike U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach — or that he has 11 world titles while the next closest in surfing, Mark Richards, has four.
It's something beyond wins and titles. It is time.
Slater has been the Everest of his sport for most of two decades. No athlete — not Jordan, Gretzky, Ali, Pele, Nicklaus, Tiger, not Phelps — has been that dominant for so long.
Slater is the youngest surfer to win a world title — at 20, in 1992 — and the oldest — 39, achieved last year. This year, he stands No. 2 on the ASP World Tour behind Mick Fanning, with title No. 12 within reach.
Slater says he's not concerned with legacy, and that unconquered goals are not what's standing between him and retirement. Though notoriously competitive, Slater says he's more calm and at peace than ever, that he's not as attached to the outcome as he was years ago.
Instead, he's just out there in the blue, sculpting waves into works of art in a place that helped rescue him whenever his world crumbled to pieces.
"The water was his security blanket. That was where he felt safe."
Slater's mother, Judy
Slater's father, Steve, owned a bait-and-tackle shop, worked in construction and was an unpredictable alcoholic. "He wasn't violent or mean in any way," Judy says. "He was just scary."
In his autobiography, "Pipe Dreams," Slater wrote that his mother would scream at his father for hours until he'd finally pass out. The two divorced when Slater was 11, and he found solace in the sea

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam can be funny, even while mired with questions about his upcoming decision on President Obama's health care mandate for medical insurance exchanges.After facing several pointed inquiries from the conservative Nashville Republican lunch group called First Tuesday, the Governor seemed relieved as he turned his attention to a woman adorned with reindeer antlers. "Yes, Rudolph," Mr. Haslam chuckled, as he took her question. The woman, referred to as Rudolph, asked why the governor has not yet appeared on the ABC's hit show "Nashville." The governor responded, "It hurt my feelings that I have not been asked yet," he said, adding, "Maybe they heard me sing one time."In between more lunchtime laughs, Gov. Haslam turned the tables on his fellow Republicans and asked them, "What do they say, politics is for people who do not want to act, but don't have the face for it?" More laughs were heard, especially from those who have likened the governor's looks to that of comedian Dana Carvey.ABC's "Nashville" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Nashville's News 2.

Davenport city leaders vote 10 to nothing to negotiate with Ingenus Management, showing they are all in when it comes to a land-based casino.
The Ingenus plan includes an interstate casino at I-80 and 280, and then a smaller, boutique casino downtown. That's the plan the city's consultant recommended. And it's one most council members favored.
At the same time, some aldermen have been backing another plan, proposed by Restoration St. Louis for a downtown location. But first thing Wednesday morning, reps from that company met with city leaders and took their proposal off the table, essentially taking away a big point of contention for council members.
While some still back a downtown plan, and like the idea of working with a familiar company like Restoration St. Louis, aldermen tell us it was more important to come together and present a united front. They say that sends a message not only to the city, but also the Racing and Gaming Commission, which makes the final decision.
Wednesday night's council decision let's the city's negotiating team move forward, taking another step toward making this land-based casino a reality. Alderman Bill Edmond says, "We just want to do our due diligence now, make sure we get the best deal for the city of davenport. I think we've shown Ingenus that they are our first choice." Alderman Bill Boom says, "I think in three weeks, we'll be able to get a better feel for this team and see if it's the team we want to represent Davenport in this effort."
The city's negotiating team will be working with the Ingenus team, looking at design, a cost benefit analysis and whether another property owner could more cost effectively build that downtown boutique casino.

Oceanside -- Summer school has a new twist for some students from the Teri Learning Academy in Oceanside, where their classroom is definitely paradise.
Students from Teri Learning Academy and Country School are having the time of their lives, thanks to volunteers from Surfin-Fire who are providing free surf lessons for the day.
"I've got all my instructors out here. We're just doing one-on-one, having a fun day with them. It's pretty rewarding too," said Surfin-Fire's John Peterson.
"Super nice, they're kind. They're probably the best surfing instructors you could ever get," student Luke said.
...Like pro-surfer Pedro Fernandez....
"One of the best days of my surfing career, having all these kids here," noted Pedro.
With the help of these pros, hangin' ten is now second nature.
"I've never been able to get up on that surfboard, and I've always wanted to surf, and I saw everybody doing it. Wow!!!" exclaimed Luke.
The Teri Learning Academy and Country School serve children with learning and developmental disabilities. Through innovative instruction, students are riding the waves and reaching their full potential.
'"We're in our 28th year of providing services for people with developmental disabilities," said Cheryl Kilmer the CEO and founder of Teri Learning Academy.
And today's lesson is definitely a slice of paradise!
"Probably one of the best days of my life," said Luke.
Congratulations to Teri Learning Academy - News 8's Cool School of the Week.

Re: New Features
12 June 2009 at 4:02am
Just checked in:
SWFUploadField: Now has speed calculation and countdown timer for uploads once five seconds have elapsed.
FileDataObjectManager: Now disables imports for file types that are not allowed.
DataObjectManager: Now has a "deselect all" option for HasOne/HasMany managers. This is especially useful for the HasOne manager, since it allows you to set a null value by clearing the radio buttons.
Re: New Features
26 June 2009 at 7:30am Last edited: 26 June 2009 7:30am
Just Checked In:
AssetManager: Allows management of files directly to a page. No need to go through a dataobject. Usage:
$field->addFieldsToTab("Root.Content.Files", new AssetManager($this,"Files","MyFileClass"));
Where "Files" is the name of the file relation, and MyFileClass is the subclass of File that has a $has_one relationship with your page. If you want to use the File class directly, it would require modifying the File class to have that has_one relation, which requires a decorator. Still possible, though. If you choose to do if that way, the third argument defaults to "File" so all you need is:
new AssetManager($this,"Files");
AssetAdmin Support:
Because we can now manage files directly, it is now possible to use the AssetManager in the AssetAdmin interface. By default, this is turned on in the latest version of DataObjectManager in dataobject_manager/_config.php. Just set true/false with:
CSS Overrides
Not much to speak of here, but over time I'm going to be making updates to some of the weaker points of the Silverstripe core stylesheet. These updates will come in through dataobjectmanager_override.css. By default these overrides are turned off, but can be enabled in the config file.
Marking Permissions
For relation DataObjectManagers, you can now set the permissions required to alter the checked state of each item. Usage:
By default, there are no permission restrictions on altering relations.

Just Checked In:
Nested DataObjectManager support
Still in testing. Manages relationships between two dataobjects, allowing DOMs to be used in DOM popups! Check out the video!
A jQuery based, lightweight version of TinyMCE to use in your DOM popups. Make it as complex or simple as you want using static methods for global settings or their instance-level counterparts for instance-based configuration, e.g.
To affect all SimpleTinyMCEFields, enter in _config.php:
To affect just one SimpleTinyMCEField:
$myfield = new SimpleTinyMCEField('ContentField','Content Label');
More docs to come!

DatePickerField now works in the CMS just like a CalendarDateField. For MDY date formats, use DatePickerField::set_date_format('mdy') in your _config.php.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My advice would first be - check that everyone is doing their jobs properly. The group damage that can be taken when people are not killing the eagles or standing under the target of the storm is totally unmanageable - and I'm in near complete raid healing plate.
That obvious comment aside, I find overall throughput is your friend. Keep holy radiance off cooldown, blow Divine Plea + Avenging Wrath the moment you dip below 80% mana, keep the eagle target topped off the whole time, and hope like mad your group is awake. If you get it right, it's a short fight, so Chase's comment about not conserving mana stands. Throughput and reflex-triage is what you need.

HOLYOKE — On a block-long industrial site, once home to an air bag maker and water filter manufacturer, an advanced computing center is taking shape. When the facility begins operating in November, thousands of networked computers will allow researchers to crunch vast amounts of data to sequence genes, model the ocean, or study the effects of new drugs on patients.
But innovations at the center don't end with its massive computing power. The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center is also designed with features that make it one of the most energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive data centers around.

Sanctuary Blog
by Tim Ajax, Director
Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary
Some people monkey around a little, some people monkey around a lot, and then there's Tim. He's a prince among primates, presiding over hundreds of fellow bipeds in the often-brutal Texas outdoors. There's no ape escape for Tim and his crew, but no matter. They love to help macaques, baboons and vervets live out their lives with as much freedom as possible. And like peeling a banana, Tim's blogs take you to the good stuff inside — with a steady supplement of Texas weather updates, of course!
A Tale of Freedom
Just before Independence Day in 2010, over 120 Beagles and 55 long-tailed macaques abandoned at AniClin Laboratories in New Jersey won an important court verdict and were ordered released to sanctuaries. The company had locked their doors and dismissed the employees, some of whom returned and scaled the fence in a desperate attempt to assist the animals locked inside.
Love is Blind
I witness amazing, heartwarming scenes at the sanctuary every single day. Here is just one of those stories…
In 2010, we found her wandering aimlessly in the five-acre northwest enclosure, one of 136 monkeys occupying the large natural area. She was moving in an erratic line, taking a few steps at a time and then stopping to extend her hand in front of her, feeling for trees, brush, or monkeys. We could tell that the old girl had gone blind, likely due to age-related issues. After determining there wasn't any way to repair the damage, we decided to leave her where she was and watch her closely to see if she would adjust.
Now That's Entertainment
As I rounded the corner to the small pond inside our 56-acre snow monkey habitat, the problem was easy to see. Staff had reported very low water pressure in the enclosure, and there was the culprit: a silver undulating stream of water spouting eight feet into the air.
Freedom and Comfort
The wind came roaring through the scrub and mesquite last night, picking up loose soil and sandblasting everything in its path. The temperature dropped suddenly and what was a pleasant fifty-degree night quickly turned into a dark, shivering ordeal as monkeys scrambled for their shelters.
On Saturday, January 18, a young spider monkey named Brodi was humanely killed in Ohio in order to send his head off for rabies testing, despite the fact that he had recently received a rabies vaccination. His crime was having bitten the thumb of an employee at a car dealership who reached into a vehicle (with permission) to pet the monkey. State law requires the testing to be performed when the animal involved is not domesticated and, unfortunately, there are currently no reliable alternatives to directly testing the brain for the disease. A very sad ending for a very young life, especially considering several accredited sanctuaries reached out to officials with the offer of quarantine and life-long care for him. Sad as it is, the reality is that his unnatural death was a mostly predictable conclusion to a very unnatural life.
A Home for All
As you likely know, the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary is home to more than 600 nonhuman primates ranging widely in age, size, and species which include macaques, baboons, and vervets. What you might not know about the Sanctuary is that it is also home to many other non-primate animals.
New Year, New Us
Happy New Year! It's that time of year again: those first invigorating days of January, when we take stock of where we've come and where we're going—and make the plans to get us there. At the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary, we've avowed some goals of our own and we look forward to accomplishing them all in 2014!
A Successful Year at the Born Free USA Sanctuary
2013 is winding down, and time has sure flown by! This will be my last blog of the year, so I want to take the opportunity to look back on our Sanctuary's 2013 highlights.

Our bench sucks simple as that. However, it did not have to be this way. We should have traded Luke Babbitt, Nolan Smith, Elliot Williams, and Jared Jeffries for draft picks. Then we could have used our money to sign some real players for our bench.
Here is a list of players that we should have signed.
PG Patty Mills: this kid can flat out score and the fans love him. He is currently scoring almost 6 points a game while only playing 12.5 minutes a game. He would be a perfect fit for this team and he is making less than 1.5 million a season.
SG Leandro Barbosa: I like Sasha Pavlovic he plays hard and does lots of little things to help us win. However, the fact that this team refused to go after someone with his experience and scoring ability is terrible. Barbosa is currently scoring over 5 points per game at only 12 minutes per game. He is currently making the veterans minimum.
SF Matt Barnes: He has always played hard especially on defense and he is a huge upgrade over Babbitt. He is also making the veteran minimum. He is currently averaging around 10 points and 5 rebounds per game at just over 25 minutes a game.
PF Reggie Evans: this man is a beast he is averaging 8.6 rebounds per game at only 21 minutes per game. He is an excellent low post defender and he plays hard always, which is something this team needs. He is currently making less than 2 million a season.
C Robin Lopez: He is averaging 11 points 5.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game while playing at only 25 minutes a game. He is making around 5 million a season, which is kind of a lot for a bench player but he would be a great piece to have while Leonard develops.
For 12 million a year we could have a real bench and still be below the cap.
I wonder what this team would have looked like with a real bench. I wish our management would have been more aggressive.
What do you think of our bench and what it could have been?
Posted 12/19/2012 9:24 PM
it would of been alot better but idk robin lopez probably would of been playing @ our starting c spot allowing hickson to move to the bench and play @ his normal position
Posted 12/19/2012 10:46 PM
Yeah it could have been much better like signing Aaron Brooks or Nate Robinson instead of Ronnie Price..
Also should have picked up any center to allow Hick to play his natural position. Biggest mistake was drafting Myers Leonard over Jeremy Lamb/Harkless or just trading the pick for player or to move higher in the draft/ gather more picks.
But hey cant be talking about the past I guess we should be glad we got an 11-12 record with this roster.

idk honestly a young big man thats a true 7 footer and a center with the athletic ability as someone half his size is somthing you don't pass up on anywayz give him a couple seasons to develop very few big men are successful there rookie year look @ bynum he wasn't a top 5 center immediatly

Building a better bench - Present partaciple - as in, what is still happening

I was mislead. My bad. Please continue dwelling on the past.

I really have to disagree about Chris Johnson, sure he can block some shots but his overall game is lacking. He has very little to offer offensively, is not a strong rebounder, and struggles to stay out of foul trouble because he would much rather block shots than anything else defensively.
If your interested in a player like that why not go with someone like Chris Birdman Anderson.
I was not that big on Robin Lopez either but he is making a believer out of me in New Orleans. I think he showed he needed a bigger role in Phoenix but they were so perimeter oriented he got lost in the shuffle.
The others were designed to give us a nice mix of defense and offense off the bench and I believe those 5 mixed with Pavlovic, Leonard and Barton would have given us a nicely balanced bench.
I also believe that we could have gotten probably 2 first round picks by trading the four players previously mentioned. That would have been huge for this team, considering we still owe the Bobcats a first round pick.

I also would like to see us add Kenyon Martin but this team has what seems like a million PF's so someone would have to go.
Posted 12/20/2012 10:30 AM
Posted By Curvychloe on 12/20/2012 9:55 AM
Chris anderson! Good call,is he still around?
He still remains unsigned along with Keynon Martin, and Delonte West. All of which, bring a toughness and energy to the court that is amazing. Unfortunately, they also have their share of off court issues as well. Stotts does not seem like he has a strong enough personality to control these guys so as much as I like each of them the odds of seeing them in Blazer gear is very slim.

Fanatic...I would prefer you not lie in the tall grass lurking, waiting for a fan to express themselves and/or have an original thought, then jump them with your venomous anger, spewing your insults and condescending verbage all over our site. Enlighten us. Bring us an original thought of your own. Create your own thread. Demonstrate your knowledge of the game and of our Trailblazers by sharing possible solutions, rather than being so cutting and negative. Please make a concerted effort to be more a part of a solution than the problem. A disproportionately large number of your posts have been respondent in nature, negative, and often attacking and aggressive.
If you can't post nicely, please don't post at all. I have asked not only you, but everyone recently to please clean up the posts, being respectful even in disagreement. I am having to ask you and you only, a third time.
A "disproportionately large number" of posts have been negative, condicending, and often attacking and aggressive toward my posts. That you are only asking me is really the issue then isn't it? I respond to insults and being labeled. Cause and effect. If you are asking me to ignore the insults and be a bigger person, I can respect. Your request for sanity falls on deaf ears when you single me out publicly while ignoring the root cause. You could always take a more tactul approach and send me a private message if you were genuinly concerned.
I clicked on this thread expecting solutions, "building a better bench." What solutions did the OP offer? What question did the OP pose to solicite solutions? What players were mentioned that we can add to the team now?
I changed my avatar just for you. ; )
Posted 12/20/2012 9:14 PM
Bdawg I have no problem at all with what Blazer Fanatic wrote to me. The thread title is a little misleading and she has a right to call me on that. I think though we have done a decent job since then about mentioning players that are currently available who might help our bench. Fanatic is opinionated but I love her for that. I really hope your not considering not posting anymore Fanatic.
Anyways Luke is having a decent night off the bench tonight with 11 point and 7 rebounds although he also has 5 turn overs. Maybe things are looking up and maybe not.
Posted 12/20/2012 9:17 PM
Make that fouls sorry looked at the wrong spot in the box score.
14 and 8 while fouling out not terrible.
Posted 12/21/2012 10:16 AM
12-12 good job boys the Blazers are winning, the Earth is still here and all is good in the world.
A lot has changed over the past few days but here are somethings that have not. Our bench still sucks, people are still naive (Mayans never predicted the end of the Earth), gun control is a stupid idea, and Jesus still loves us.
Merry Christmas everyone, and for anyone who celebrates Chanukah, happy belated Chanukah, I hope you had a great festival of lights. If you are gearing up for Kwanzaa, I hope it is wonderful as well.

I think locker room chemistry might be the biggest reason why the team has not made any deals. Moreover the fact that by all accounts this team is currently overachieving is probably the other reason.
Posted 12/21/2012 1:58 PM
Also our roster is maxed out at 15.. I think we should push ourselves into going in to the playoffs and try to win a series now. The probability of us winning 1 is low but at least try to structure our roster to be competitive somewhat.
Posted 12/21/2012 2:04 PM
yea it would give us some experience too if this draft was deep I would honestly disagree with you on trying to push for the playoffs but since it isn't and the odds of getting a top 5 pick is probably low I'd so go for it
Posted 12/21/2012 2:36 PM

Posted 12/21/2012 5:28 PM
Yeah playoff games are very entertaining I would love to see us back in there. Were not too far I REALLY HOPE that FO does not try to tank for a high draft.
I dont know about next year but I think this would a good draft to give Charlotte our pick.
Posted 12/21/2012 10:08 PM
I like quite a few of the guys in this draft but that is just me. Still hoping for some Tony Mitchell love in Rip City.
Posted 12/22/2012 12:47 AM
Tony Mitchell does seem nice lol... but the playoff is so awesome mostly if the Lakers dont make it haha
maybe Paul Allen buys a pick then trades the bought pick and the 3 second rounders for TonY MitChell

Posted By riverman on 12/22/2012 9:36 AM We've shown we can beat the Nuggets, Spurs, Lakers and Minnesota so nothing would be sweeter than beating the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. That alone is a reason to make them this season. Though my heartbeat quickens with even the thought of a first round matchup with the Lakers, I don't see that as a reasonable possibility. I don't think the Lakers will finish higher than fourth, at best, which would necessitate Portland finish fifth. Wonder if Santa would consider granting a collective fanbase their wish?
I am a fan of players that play with PASSION and PRIDE
Posted 12/23/2012 2:03 AM
I don't think the lakers will make it this year lol
Posted 12/23/2012 9:23 AM
Stop underestimating Kobe he will score 60 a night if he has to carry this team to the playoffs the Lakers will not miss unless Kobe gets severely injured.
That being said making the playoffs would be good to get free agents here but we cannot settle for becoming a low seed playoff team again like we have been since the early 2000's
