text:
– The bottom line is the Hawks turned back a tough, scrappy opponent that came in a hot streak and avoided losing two straight at home for just the second time this season. "We all gutted it out," Jamal said. "It was definitely intense and very physical out there."
– So the bottom line looks good. Some of the other lines were ugly, though: 5 of 18 shooting in the fourth quarter, including 2 of 9 for J.J., 0 for 3 for Jamal and no shots at all in 11 minutes for Smoove.
– Basically, here's how it went: bad Iso-Joe and the Hawks faltered, good Iso-Joe and they won.
– Fourth quarter Iso-Joe: fadeaway airball, missed 3-pointer, missed fadeaway, missed runner and the missed pull-up at the regulation buzzer. Overtime: 3-pointer, fadeaway jumper, baseline fadeaway, and a missed 21-footer.
– "When you get another chance you always want to come through," J.J. said. "I wanted to make plays in that overtime to get us over the hump."
– He shot 7 of 22 in regulation, 3 of 4 in overtime. "He's going to have games like that," Josh said. "We had to keep riding him to see if he could get going. He was making tough shots and tough moves on his guy. When he's like that, we've got to keep giving it to him."
– It worked out in the end because J.J. really is a very good one-on-one player even when a strong guy like John Salmons is up in his face. But the Iso approach contributed to the familiar no-ball-movement, poor-shot-selection formula that has hurt the Hawks late in games. They are a combined 16 for 54 (29.6) from the field in the fourth quarter of their last three games.
– At least the Hawks played some fourth-quarter D this time. After the Bucks shot 50 percent through three quarters, the Hawks held them to 6 of 17 in the fourth. As usual, the tighter D led to offense: six points off turnovers and seven fastbreak points in the fourth for the Hawks.
–The Bucks scored the first five points of overtime and it felt like the Mavericks all over again. "We knew what we had to do," Jamal said. "We look at the Dallas game as a fluke. Our record in the last few minutes of the game is actually outstanding."
– "Milwaukee has been hot lately but we were able to get the win," Josh said. "It's nice to have a win to get our confidence back. We just need to tighten it up on the defensive end and share the ball offensively."
– I'm guessing at least four of Jamal's 11 misses were forced. He's now shooting 26 of 84 (31 percent) in the seven games since the All-Star break. He says the shoulder only bothers him when he drives to the hole. So it's got to be that he's just in some kind of funk right now.
– But he did have four assists and a steal against just one turnover. And, as he was sure to point out, he made his free throws.
– Nice D by Horford on Bogut on Milwaukee's last possession of regulation. He held his ground against a bigger opponent who was determined to get to the basket. It's how the Hawks had to play the Bucks in a game where officials allowed roughhousing.
– "We couldn't back down," Smoove said. "We didn't take any mess. That's how you've got to play when a team hits you in the mouth."
– "It was a fun game to be on the court," Zaza said.
– Stackhouse looked spry while scoring 10 points in the first quarter and eight in the fourth. He was interested in joining the Hawks last summer. Think their bench and locker room would benefit from a pro like him?
– Salmons has really made a difference for the Bucks. Because he went for 32 points they still had a chance to win with Brandon Jennings scoring just three points. But Salmons couldn't stop Iso-Joe in the end.
– Question: How do you make Iso-Joe develop even slower? Answer: Stop the clock and have shook game officials who don't notice for at least five seconds.
– "I'm watching the clock tick down so I can see when to go and it just stopped," J.J. said. "I was thinking it would start back, but it didn't. It was frustrating, but it happens."
– Yet another complete game from Smoove: 22 points, 15 rebounds, six assists. Take away those times he thought he was a point guard (five of the team's 12 turnovers) and he was nearly perfect. "I'm letting the game come to me," he said. "I'm playing well for the team. I'm not rushing anything. When the opportunity presents itself, I'm seizing it."
– Woody played Zaza and Mo 14 minutes each, Teague seven minutes and Joe Smith six. It wasn't always pretty but the bench crew pretty much kept the Hawks in the game during their stints.
– The Hawks play at the Bulls Monday night. "It's going to be hard playing a back-to-back against a good team but we should feel good about ourselves," Zaza said.
– I'm out, Hawks fans.

I don't feel bad about any win. The Bucks had won six straight and were on a high beating the Celtics – great way to put a hot middling in its place…I really look forward to Jamal kicking it in gear against the Bulls tonight-long overdue for a big game.

Another lackluster performance by Marvin, Couple that with more trouble against the pick and roll and I think it becomes mandatory to start Mo Evans and bring Marvin off of the bench/start Teague and bring Bibby off of the bench.
Its imperative that we get some quickness on the perimeter, because Bibby is too slow to guard most point guards on the pick and roll, which leaves Joe to guard the pg and what ends up happening is we either switch a big-man onto the guard or Joe gets caught in the pick and the guard is able to penetrate into the lane. We need Mo/Teagues quickness for more minutes in the game to help defensively with the pick and roll. Plus, if Marvin comes off the bench he can get more touches and be the focus of the offense for the 2nd unit to help get his confidence up. He truly looks lost out there, when he gets a rebound he looks to pass the ball to a guard or even SMOOVE instead of looking to push it himself. Another thing to note is he struggles on help defense. If he's switched into the post he is too late on helping if the defense is penetrated. He should also look to attack more on offense with his touches, if Joe is doubled and swings it to Marvin he usually takes the jumper but he'd probably be more effective driving with his athleticism.

Grandad – we already the answer to that one. During preseason he said that his offensive philosophy to let them run ams that good offense is predicated off of good D and rebounding…when all fails, they didn't execute the strategy or superb in game adjustments.

Hawks Fan in N.O.:
Yes sir, you are correct. He 'lets' them [Josh, Al, & Teaguer] run.
The rest are too old, or tired to run. Nique always says:
" I wish Josh would outlet to a [1] or a [2] and fill the lane…
if he did that he would have to wait on the ball. Bibby or Joe will not push it. Josh and Al take off and run. Young Mr Teague pushes the ball
for all of 3 min. per.
Perhaps I should have specified half ct. offense to Mr. Cunningham. As the play-offs tend to slow down and turn into a chess match.

I hate Woodson's offensive strategic ineptitude. And Mo should replace Marvin in the starting lineup – would we really miss the "Duck's" prescence?
March 1st, 2010
3:21 am
MCUNNINGHAM-in tight gms down the stretch, we see Woodson grab his chalkboard and pretend he's drawing up a play. Yet, when we take the court, all we see is JJ take the ball and go ISO. We've been doing this crap for the last 2-3yrs now, and you'd think Woodson would realize he's not fooling anyone. Everyone knows what's coming, since Woodson doesn't have anything else to offer.
It's truely sad when over the last 20 or so gms, our PF has become better at running the OFF and fastbreak as well as penetrate better than our starting PG. I won't mention DEF and scoring. I've never seen a HC so in love with a particular player(Bibby)that he'll completely ignore the obvious fact that he's regressed so to the point of becoming a total detriment to the team.
What makes it worse is there's a potential solution to the problem sitting on the bench(Teague), and Woodson stubbornly and inexcusably refuses to even give the potential solution the slightest chance to prove himself. I know we still have these dilusional fans who steadfastly claim Teague's not ready. However, the way Bibby is embarrassing himself and hurting the team, it appears he's the one that's neither READY, WILLING OR ABLE.
If given simular mins as Bibby, there's no way Teague could be as offensively inept as he's been over the last 20+gms, and he'd certainly provide the DEF Bibby's failed to provide during his entire tenure here. If, as some seem to think, Woodson's irratic coaching is the result of him trying to win as many gms as possible down the stretch, you'd think he'd have enough sense to realize that over the last 33gms, his team has been treading water at a 500 clip, which has coinsides with Bibby's rapid decline. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.
March 1st, 2010
3:51 am
It's obvious that Bibby fluffs Woodson's pillow at night and Marvin shines his baldy for him (take that any way you want). That's the only reason I can think of as to why Woodson is so in love with this non-productive wastes.

Mike Woodson thinks a "coaching adjustment" is changing to a different color dry-erase marker for his lil board.
March 1st, 2010
7:10 am
Maybe the reason the stink in the 4th quarter is because they are exhausted from playing so many minutes…. Woodson needs to play his bench a bit more so the starters are only play in the high 30s in minutes, not 40s
March 1st, 2010
7:43 am
During one of the last possessions by the Bucks, there was 7 passes and no dribbles during a play (in the last minute).
The Hawks did not make 7 passes in the forth quarter. Joe goes ISO, he is tired, so he merely dribbles and throws up a fadeaway from 25 feet.
Does Sund watch the games?
March 1st, 2010
7:52 am
Why don't anyone ask Woody why he plays the starters such long minutes on the first night of a back to back?
March 1st, 2010
7:55 am
Why does Dominique continue to say, "we need to put these guys away early"? The Hawks haven't put a team away early in 6 freakin years.
March 1st, 2010
7:56 am
Another fourth quarter with 19 points or less. That makes 11 of them this season, and our record is 2-9 in those games. One thing about Woody. He will win or lose with iso JJs no matter who, no matter what, no matter when, no matter where.
Bibby did not give us anything last night, but he had 2 good games before last night's game, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he is able to give us later. And he is the only starter who should be fresh, so hopefully he is making his shots. Although I think Derrick Rose will have a HUGE game later.
If Crawford keeps struggling like this, he might lose his grip on the SMOY trophy. Hawks need him to get it going, because that will give Woody more iso options, and JJ wont have to carry the load all by himself.
@ Wabe
"Something that I noted that I liked in this first half was seeing JT0 get minutes with Crawford at the 2 and JJ at the 3″.
I disagree. With those guys in the game, more often that not all Teague would do is bring the ball up the court, and then hand off to JJ or Crawford, and then get out of the way.
Since the Hawks are playing a back to back on the road tonight, it would have been nice to see Woody give the bench more minutes. It was an ugly win, but a win is a win. If we finish with the 3rd seed, we could play Chicago in the first round, so this could be a playoff preview. Our starters are tired, so I hope our bench gives us quality minutes tonight. Beat them Bulls.
March 1st, 2010
7:57 am
We really really really should have signed Stackhouse. If we could've done that then traded Mo Evans for a 3rd PG, we'd be set. STackhouse can score the ball, has some size, and is a vet. Teague/Craw/Stack/Joe.S/ZaZa is a lot more powerful than having Mo out there
March 1st, 2010

Why did the Hawks pass on Stackhouse last fall when he practiced with local pros including several Hawks and comments were made by those players that Stackhouse showed big with his A game and we certainly had a roster spot open for another 6- 6 big guard/forward who could play the 2 or 3 positions? His price would have been inthe Hawks budget I think,he was living in Atlanta, and appeared to recover from his injuries of last season. Now he is one of the reasons the Bucks are improving while the Hawks reserves are struggling with their shots.
March 1st, 2010
8:23 am
Horford got bigger this past summer, but his post game still is not good enough. He doesn't take high quality shots. And Smoove is always out of control driving the lane. You just cover your eyes, hoping it'll go in
March 1st, 2010
8:54 am
Can we please take up a collection and buy Josh Smith a real nickname. Smoove? What's that supposed to mean anyway? Better than Snookums, I guess, but not worthy of a player who is becoming a great one.

8:54 am
Where the hell are all the fans???? Phillips was maybe half full. I got to the game, which is a rare occasion, but an early evening Sunday game should be packed out! There was no fan influence until the end of the 4th quarter…
The Atlanta Spirit/Phillips group is not helping the fans want to return when they have the ushers stand "guard" at the top of the bottom level isles to prevent true fans to be able to move down closer to the court. GET A CLUE ASG!!!!!!!! Does the ASG think these fans who don't have much discretionary income, will come back when they are not allowed to get closer to the court. This leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. Cater to the customer & fire Woodson and there may be more fans.
March 1st, 2010
8:56 am
yeah MC, i asked the question on your last blog why mario and put up stackhouse's numbers? those are the things about this management team that drives me crazy. problem is he would only get 5 minutes of play time instead of compete to make marvin better. he begged to play here. he is probably why the bucks have been so improved over the last month or so since he arrived. i dont think it is mere coincidence.
jj looked absolutely terrible on the last shot of the game. i would rather josh have it in his hand if jj is going to do absolutely nothing with it for 17 seconds of the 19 seconds we had it to draw a fould or contact. a fall away 18 footer is not the shot i want him to take..
March 1st, 2010
9:10 am
Too bad that ugly wins don't count the same as beautiful wins in the NBA.
@MC, so it appears that Sund's shopping list is fairly limited, only a few vets have been bought-out (unless there is some last minute negotiating going on today in places like NJ). I assume that Sund will wait indefinitely for Z, right?
March 1st, 2010

Why not just give Craw the last shot? he can easily get in the lane
March 1st, 2010

coach d, sit where you buy your tix are is how it works. no one likes to return to a seat to have it occupied by someone not supposed to be there. too often freeloaders try to do just that. the hawks have plenty of promotions to get folks in at a bargain rate. season tix are a bargain if you sell them or get as a group. yes fans need to be there but in their own seats. those that are regulars dont need to fight for their seats. the folks at those aisles are very pleasant and have to put up with a lot of guff and rudeness by those thinking they are entitled to a seat they didnt pay for. hope you didnt take it out on them as they dot get paid a lot to put up with miscreants.
March 1st, 2010

Did anyone notice the Hawks assitance coach say they loved Stackhouse and tried to get him here? if that's the case, what stop them? MC any ideas?
March 1st, 2010
9:49 am
If Stackhouse was here, he would get limited PT, and when he did, he would probably not give us much, or be inconsistent like Joe Smith. Thats the kind of luck the Hawks have.
This offseason, Matt Barnes was available too, and everybody knew the Hawks needed a backup SF. But Rick Sund did not give Woody much of an option at that position. As for Marvin, he is not concerned about losing his spot, so hopefully somebody can light a fire and help him get it going.
I havent heard any names out there that jump out at me either, so I think the Hawks will stick with the players they have. But there is room for improvement from within.
March 1st, 2010
9:49 am
I see how teams like the Nets, who had a game where it started snowing in the middle, ANNOUNCED on the loud-speaker or intercom, whatever, that fans could move down since there were empty seats.
Why are the "premium" seats opposite the benches always empty? Why does it never sell out unless a superstar is in town?
Oh, I know why — Atlanta is a pathetic sports city

I have been out of loop since Thursday because of internet problems. I didn't get a chance to see the Bucks game…however based on responses…I see it is the same ooooooooooooold thing and the same oooooooooooold Woody. They may not be world-beaters…but you got help on the bench. Perhaps doing the unthinkable like shaking up the starting line could bear some fruit…but what do we know…we are just bloggers. lol
Not only is ISO JJ old…that lame line up with Crawford and Bibby in the game at the end is old…you are putting two of your weakest defender on the floor at the same time. CMON MAN. Will there be some second half adjustments, or is this it???????
March 1st, 2010

Stackhouse chose Milwaukee, Wisconsin over the ATL? Didn't want no part of Woody. Thats the only reason I can think of why he'd do such a thing.

Another win for the Hawks, but it was very disappointing to see the effort they put forth.
I'm not sure what's wrong, but something clearly needs fixing.
We were leading in the 4th against OKC, PHX, GS, & Dallas, and all four were loses. We needed OT to beak the BUCKS at home!
The Hawks should be on a 8 game win streak, but we're 4-4 in that same stretch. We keep missing opportunities to catch both Orlando & Boston by playing lackluster ball in the 4th.
March 1st, 2010
11:00 am
Whats irksome is that we could be, arguably, on a min. of a 5 game W streak ( big rolleyes for double-digit, come-from-AHEAD losses to Golden State and DAL) and at best a 7-game W streak coming out of the All-Star break (ATL starters get run by PHX bench in 4Q, nothwithstanding). Everything else in the NBA standings being the same, those 3 winnable games are the difference between being mere percentage points ahead of BOS for 3rd in the East and being tied w/ORL for the Southeast Div and 2nd in the East.
This was supposed to be the easy stretch before hitting the road vs. our tough march through March. Nothing has been easy, and we have to figure out the 4Q swoon and also get a strategy for that 2-3 zone. Best believe other teams peeped was DAL did to whittle down a 13-point lead in the last 5 mins to force OT.
March 1st, 2010
11:01 am
Sure wish you guys wouldn't waste your time with posts talking about players we could have signed/got! It's too late (no trades allowed guys…..)- we have to focus on what we have so save yourselves some typing.
The Hawks just need to try to work inside out and pass the ball around more. That one pass and a shot philosophy is old. Teams have scouted us and they know that rarely we look inside and will take a long jumper instead, especially when we go iso Joe.
I didn't use to think Coach W was really the problem, but watch the chemistry of the team during timeouts when he's drawing up a play and they are basically not even paying attention. Has he lost control of the locker room?
I do believe that we could replace Marvin in the starting line up with someone and allow him to come off the bench. He may play better as well. Teague is showing signs of confidence now-I would think that he would get better as he gets more playing time. I like Bibby, but it's evident he's lost a step-most other PG's are much younger and blow by him.
March 1st, 2010
11:21 am
I don't know how to look at these last few games. Yes, tough wins and tough losses. Both Dallas and the Bucks have been HOT. So could be an opponents issue. However, I really think that Crawford's play is the key to our 4th quarter/inability to put a team away issues. I know the shoulder keeps getting down played and maybe he is starting to come out of it, but that is my area of concern here.
MC, I have a question for you. What does Zydrunis gain by continuing to talk about other teams at this point? If he is going back to Clevland they can't offer him any more money than he already is being offered. Is he really that upset about being traded? Is this posturing for some front office kick back type stuff? Or is he serious about going to another team? I am confused by the whole thing.
March 1st, 2010
11:22 am
thomas, you miss the point. insight it to some of our recent moves or lack thereof can help you forcast what we may do with future moves. or you can read more into it and say that Sund is building his team irregardless of what the current coaching staff wants or wanted.

Mike is Back, you hit it right on the head, Bibby and Crawford in the game at the same time is a big problem and is hurting this team down the stretch. Mr. Cunningham, you ran off 5 plays in ISO in the 4th quarter, who took the other shots? You said Smoove had no shots in 11 minutes, you really want him shooting or getting it on put backs or shots off the break? You always mention the the ISO, lets hear about why your 4 time all star shooting guard has to always guard the point guard or the toughest player. You also mention Josh's numbers, but on man to man defense, Josh is horrible, the problems with this team are not ISO's, its defense.
I would also like to know have you mentioned JJ wearing knee pads the last few games, are his knees bothering him? Do some real reporting and stop just mentioning offense, we can score with anymore, the problem is defense. Tell us why Stack wasnt signed and how much can the Hawks pay Z.
March 1st, 2010
11:40 am
Jim Todd lied about the Hawks wanting to sign Stack during that interview after the 1st qtr. It was well document that Stack wanted to play for the Hawks. Heck, we could have eliminated Cheeseburger Collins and Mario slot to sign Stack if it was about the money which I think it was b/c they chose to sign Mario during the season (pro-rated salary) versus paying him the 1 mil, had they chose to sign him in the offseason. So I am not sure where the blame lies (Mgmt, GM, Coach) for not signing Stack.
March 1st, 2010
11:46 am
Stackhouse said he believed he would be a good fit in ATL. But he never got an offer from us. Why? I don't know. And then Michael Redd went down for the Bucks, so they called him, he accepted. That was a better spot for Stackhouse anyway, because with Redd's injury, he would get more PT there.
As for the seeding, they changed the rules. Even if the Hawks dont win the division, they can still be a #3 seed if they have a better record than Boston.
I think Crawford's slump is part of the reason why we're struggling to score in the fourth. I think he was one of the top scorers in terms of points scored in the 4th. I hope he gets out of his slump soon, because with Bibby struggling, and Marvin being Marvin, we need Crawford.
However, even if we take out the Miami game before the all star break (which is the game Crawford missed), and the subsequent games after the break where he is struggling, there are still 8 other games where the Hawks scored 17 points or less in the 4th quarter.
I havent looked at the numbers to see what happened in those games, but to me, the Hawks always have the potential to struggle in the fourth when isos aint working, and jump shots aint falling.
I look for Crawford to get out of his slump tonight in Chicago. Come on Jamal, the Hawks need you to prove me right
March 1st, 2010
11:50 am
Can we stop with the "JJ guards the toughest player on the other team BS"? He does not guard Carmelo, Lebron, Pierce, Rose, Durant, Jason Terry, Deron Williams, Chris Paul…etc. And please do not mention either of the guards from Golden State, Steve Nash, Kelvin Martin or any other guards that go off against us every time.
I know it sounds good to say it but it's just not true. Now he may end up guarding them on a switch or from time to time but so does every one else on the Hawks because of the constant switching on D.

Is it too expensive to be poor in America?
Instead of clearing up your financial picture, payday loans often are the first step toward more debt.
This post comes from Heesun Wee at partner site CNBC.
Desperate for a few hundred dollars to tide them over until payday, many Americans resort to cash or check advances -- also known as payday loans.
But the vast majority of these short-term advances are not paid off within two weeks, and in fact are rolled over or followed by another loan, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Plus, few borrowers lower principal amounts between loans. The upshot can be a vicious, downward cycle into deeper debt.
Just ask Katrina Gilbert.
The 31-year-old single mother of three recently took out a $300 payday loan to make the rent in Tennessee. It took her weeks to pay off the advance that ultimately cost her double the initial loan amount. Gilbert shared her experience -- and those of other working poor Americans -- to a standing ovation at the United Nations in New York last week. The growing problem of America's unbanked and underbanked was part of a summit at the UN on seeking solutions to broad economic and environmental challenges.
"We're doing the best we can," Gilbert said. "We too deserve a better shot at the future."
Aimed at individuals like Gilbert, JPMorgan Chase last week unveiled a $30 million, five year commitment to establish a "Financial Solutions Lab."
"It's too expensive to be poor in America, and it's getting worse," said Noah Wintroub, managing director of Internet and digital media for JPMorgan Chase. Financial lab advisors will include IDEO.org, which works with nonprofits and other social enterprises.
Of course, reaching out to America's working poor doesn't hurt a banking giant's corporate image. But the bank says the lab is about seeking new financial options. "We offer a variety of programs, products and services to help our customers better manage their finances, and the Financial Solutions Lab is the latest example," said Nicole Kennedy, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan Chase.
And innovative financial solutions would be welcome among payday loan users. Monthly borrowers are disproportionately apt to stay in debt for 11 months or longer, according to the finance bureau's research.
"We're not asking for a handout," said Gilbert, who was featured in the documentary, "Paycheck to Paycheck."
Gilbert added that a living wage wouldn't hurt either. "We should certainly raise the minimum wage," she said.
More from CNBC
That being said, one study will not fix, probably won't even help, the economic challenge of being poor.
And no, I don't think a higher minimum wage will help, unless you join it with a price moratorium. If we get a minimum wage hike I think corporate America will simply jack up all their prices even higher, instead of doing something creative, such as cutting down on ultrahigh CEO & Upper Management salaries and benefits instead. I also think many corporations will again try to shift as much of their 'work' as they can out of the U.S. - in retaliation.

You're sitting in a crowded, smoky bar (no one's smoking, because of the ban, but still, somehow, it's smoky). The lights are low. You look across the bar and see a gorgeous [insert preferred hair color here]. She flicks her hair back across her shoulder and your eyes meet. They lock. For a split second that seems like an eternity, sound and all surrounding sights stop. It's just you. And Her. You feel a connection. You start to smile, then…thud. She raises one eyebrow, visibly scoffs, and turns her attention back to her vodka soda and lime. With your ego bruised and your mojo mowed down like a rabbit on the freeway, you stare back into your beer and wonder why…but we all know why! Girls get bored easily. It's as simple as that. That eternity you just spent gazing into her eyes is an eternity too long. They need to be entertained in some sensual way, and quickly…lucky for us the people at AXE know this!
Developed with the help of world-renowned fragrance experts, alongside a group of young guys and girls and released this week, AXE has created TWIST. What starts as fresh notes of citrus and lime to arrest her attention, 'twists' into something earthier with notes of cedar and sandalwood.

All four semi-finalists for the job of President at Minot State University have now had their on-campus interview sessions.
The final applicant spent time at the university today.
Martin Slann is currently the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Texas at Tyler.
Slann says he is impressed at the level of connection the students have to the issues facing the university.
He says he believes the administrator at a university such as MSU needs to be involved in what's going on all over campus.
(Martin Slann, MSU President Candidate) "I would be a hands-on president and someone who would be very visible on campus, someone who would be seen walking around every day, talking to students in particular, but also members of the faculty and the staff, finding out how they're doing, what they need, what can I do for them."
The MSU Presidential Search Committee will now trim the finalist list to three and submit the names to the State Board of Higher Education.
The board meets in Minot in two weeks and will select a new president at that time.
The person selected will take over for Dr. David Fuller, who is retiring after ten years as MSU president.

Mike Comrie: You Can't Always Get What You Want
Mike Comrie's signing by the Edmonton Oilers closed the book on a rather unfortunate period in the history of the club. Both sides have implied "if I had it to do over again" things might have been different and it was a good story to see the kid back in copper and blue.
- Boxcars: 43gp, 13-8-21
- Shots: 97
- Plus Minus: -9
- Corsi (Rel): 7.0 (3rd among F's)
- 5×5/60: 1.40 (6th among F's)
- 5×4/60: 4.92 (2nd among F's)
- Quality of Competition: 9th toughest among F's
- Quality of Teammates: 11th best among F's
- FO %: 53.2% in 47 FO's
- Offensive Zone Start FO %: 47.6% (7th easiest among F's)
- Cap Hit: $1,250,000 (UFA this summer)
- What do these numbers tell us? Although his negatives are obvious (speed is a real worry) Mike Comrie can score goals. His Corsi number is strong and he was playing mid-to-low level competition with the dixie dregs most nights. His PP numbers (5-5-10 in just a little over 2 hours with the man advantage) were solid on this team and his exceptional skill around the net was on display whenever he was in the lineup.
- How Could these numbers be better? A healthy season from Comrie would have helped a lot (he could have popped 20 goals in a full season and that would have been a story) and it is an open question as to how many of the games he played in were "healthy" GP's. For the money he was money, but the injuries and illness took the heart of the season from him.
- Will they re-sign him? No, I don't think so. Comrie's skills are duplicated all over the roster (although not as well) and this team isn't going to be a contender for some time. I'd love to see him back and think a lot of Oilers fans feel the same way.
- Was he a "value" contract? Hell yeah, any team with a need for goals should look at giving him a 1-year, $1M deal this summer.

Area Contact: Dr. Nina S. Mounts
Welcome! The Developmental Psychology faculty at Northern Illinois University invite you to learn more about our Doctoral training and our research.
At Northern Illinois University, our Ph.D. program in Developmental Psychology is designed to prepare students for academic careers in research and teaching as developmental psychologists, or for non-academic careers in applied fields related to developmental psychology.
Through both coursework and individual mentoring, we provide students with extensive background in psychological theory and research related to cognitive, social, and language development. This training prepares students for teaching college and university courses in developmental psychology as well as in general psychology. Financial support is available in the form of research assistantships and teaching assistantships.
The Developmental Psychology concentration emphasizes developmental processes during infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Special strengths include:
Students participate in research throughout their graduate careers. Toward this end, a low student-faculty ratio is maintained. Research opportunities that help students become highly competent research scientists are provided through research assistantships and independent studies as well as through the master's thesis and doctoral dissertation.
The graduate program in Developmental Psychology at Northern Illinois University is part of a broader program in Cognitive/Instructional, Developmental, and School Psychology. Students with interests in Developmental Psychology typically concentrate their course work and research on developmental issues. However, the multi-disciplinary approach of the area affords an opportunity to interrelate conceptual, methodological, and practical information from cognitive/instructional, developmental, and school psychology. Thus, while most students may choose to focus primarily on developmental psychology, students have the option of combining developmental psychology with cognitive or school psychology if they wish.
Flexibility in each student's program allows for individual programs of study to be developed in consultation with area faculty. Students also may wish to combine the study of developmental psychology with work in other graduate programs within the Psychology Department or the University. This can be done by applying simultaneously to both the Developmental Psychology program and other programs of interest.

I made the switch from Winamp to WMP12 and now to Media Monkey. I love the tagging feature. Much more precise and accurate than any other media player.
My only issue would be the lack of equalizer presets available. I would like to see more presets and maybe a feature for users who want a more fuller sound with bass. Other than that, a really good media player.
Light, quick, and very effective.

New Link Added – Exiled Mothers
It seems that this thread that I am on is becoming a theme for my blog right now.
On one of the adoption lists that I'm on, someone who has no idea how right on they are sent the link I added to the right Exiled Mothers. Its interesting to me because i know that in my situation, the birth father didnt want to sign the relinquishment papers, and it took over a year for my parents to get the final decree because of this. What does this mean when we think about the struggles and lies that state agencies tell birth parents? What did they tell him to get him to sign?
In DIRECT relationship to the comment Christopher B. wrote on the last post – this quote was on the Exiled Mothers website.
What does the Bible say about adoption?
"THE WICKED SNATCH FATHERLESS CHILDREN FROM THEIR MOTHER'S BREASTS, AND TAKE A POOR MAN'S BABY AS A PLEDGE BEFORE THEY WILL LOAN HIM ANY MONEY OR GRAIN" –Job 24:9–
I have much more to say about this -especially since I'm not a religious person – but i gotta get to work.
Selling Babies
Maybe its because I see things for what they are. Maybe I'm thinking too hard. (I doubt it). Maybe its because I'm getting older?
I'm taking a solo performance workshop in SF that is assisting me in writing and turning into a play/ solo performance about some of the diffucult parts of the birth search and my own personal issues that are being revealed as I'm moving through this moment in my life and my gaze back to my childhood.
Because I've been writing about this, and thinking hard about my birth, my adoption, my life in relationship to my family, my parents… etc.. I keep noticing things in a different way that are now being revealed to me as I move through my daily life. I mean, I already have a sharp eye for identifying racism, racist politics etc… but for some reason when i was in class I said something about the "marketing issue" of my 'papers' that were presented to my parents that said my 'racial mix' (see the first Welcome to the Birth Project post) – it seems like its becoming a theme. This paper, that documents my racial background as one thing, when clearly I am something else – was part of the reason I was appealing to my parents. As I mentioned before, in the 1970's transracial Asian adoptions were at a high and i was part of that 'trend'. This marketing ploy to present me to a well-meaning white family will become a funny part of my play – BUT – today I came across this and my visceral reaction was so strong I nearly got sick all over my keyboard. and I think the question for me is becoming WHY did I have such a strong reaction? What about this makes me sick? Why does it bother me? I'm not sure… but I will be doing some more writing and some more mental digging to work it through. As far as my performance is concerned.. im concerned because my teacher/director says that its diffucult to write and perform something when you are inside the middle of it.. and i clearly am inside the middle of this. How will that affect what I am able to create?
"The director of Covenant Care (Christian Adoption agency in GA) asked me to help her network to find an adoptive family. This is what she shared:
We have a situation with a sibling group (2yo and 5yo African American boys) that need a family.
The boys are healthy and normal with recent psychological information available. We have been working with their Mother who has been adamant that she wants these boys placed with a family.
She has struggled being a Mom and has 3 other children, but her
other children have the support of their birth fathers. We have
pictures and other information on them if you would like to discuss this with us…
The contact person for these boys is ******** (my edit) .
A non negotiable for CCS is always a two-parent Christian family, the parents must be full communicant church members, pro-life, and between the ages of 25 and 48 (age limit for Af Am), married 3 years for a first marriage, 5 years for a second or subsequent marriage and be willing to sign our Statement of Faith. We also require a church evaluation to be completed by their pastor. The placement fees for Af. Am adoptions is $3800 and for each additonal child, it would be $1000 (In the adoption of a sibling group or multiple births). This of course does not include the Home Assessment fee which is done separately and depending on the circumstances is between $1250 and $1500."
I mean, how else do I think these things get done? You have a child, you send out an advertisement yes? But isnt that something like brokering humans? But then how else do I think things get done? What would make this process better? How else to parents find children? Children find parents?
coming back online
Its been a bit of time that I've actually done any work on the birth project. I'm still waiting for my non-ID from Olympia. I moved and have started school again, so as soon as my schedule settles in – I'm setting a trip for late september or early october to go to WA to check out the marriage and divorce archives.
I have to say – with the tsunami and the new orleans chaos – people looking for brown babies is at a high. I'm on a few transracial adoption lists and its interesting to me how during these past two catastrophic, – life changing moments – people still think about adopting children. I think about this several ways. One is – of course, the need/want for a child never ends and many of those ready to adopt – simply want a child. The other is – or actually the "BUT" on this first thought is – are they truely prepared to parent a child with skin color that is different? AND are they ready to challenge thier own lives, thoughts, and ways of BEING to handle this preperation? I'm so over the thought process that argues that race doesnt matter. It may not matter to us in our individual identities, but it matters when the child goes out into the world. and to act like it doesnt exsist – is to practice negligence in our parenting. Your job is to protect your child from pain, and to prepare them for the world. To act like race doesnt exsist – or that the material ramifications of race arent a reality – …. is wrong.
Maybe she doesnt want to be found
On days like today, i think, what if my birth mother doesnt want to be found? I'm on about 5 different lists for searchers and birth mothers, have spent extensive time on the internet, loggin hours and hours searching for details. I watch other birth mothers and adoptees be found over and over again and it still doesnt happen to me.
days like today. i think, what if she doesnt want me to find her? what if i would be ruining the life she has created for herself? but then, what does that make me?

The forces behind the Freeplay Sherpa Xray torch know that even though us eco-friendly folks have rechargeable batteries, we still randomly forget to only here next day cialis charge them and best price viagra with prescription break down and buy the land-fill-happy Energizers.

History of 'Greenwich' Time:
Since the late 19th century, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich has served as the co-ordinate base for the calculation of Greenwich Mean Time. Before this, almost every town in the world kept its own local time. There were no national or international conventions to set how time should be. However, with the vast expansion of the railway and communications networks during the 1850s and 1860s, the worldwide need for an international time standard became imperative. The Greenwich Meridian was chosen to be the Prime Meridian of the World in 1884, Forty-one delegates from twenty-five nations met in Washington DC for the international Meridian Conference. By the end of the conference, Greenwich had won by a vote of twenty-two in favour to one against (San Domingo), with two abstentions (France and Brazil). There were two main reasons for victory:
- The USA had already chosen Greenwich as the basis for its own national time-zone system
- At the time, 72% of the world's commerce depended on sea-charts which used Greenwich as the Prime Meridian

Here is a viewpoint that most Raptors fans will hate: Sunday's game against Orlando was a good game for the Toronto Raptors.
I have a feeling that is going to need a bit of explanation.
In terms of pure basketball, the Raptors were average to poor over the course of the game. Their perimeter containment and coverage of the three-point line was unacceptably bad and the 14 offensive rebounds allowed was a serious blemish that begins at (but is not restricted to) starting centre Andrea Bargnani.
However, for these first few weeks of the season measuring the Raptors by pure basketball standards is unnecessarily myopic. They are a club trying to integrate several new players and ideologies and some amount of perspective has to be afforded to that end. Should that reality excuse the putrid first half of Sunday's game? No, it shouldn't, and if that effort carried through for the whole game there would be little positive to cull from this loss (which was the situation after the Memphis loss on Friday). However, what came after that awful first push allowed for a critical reexamination and will benefit the team down the road regardless of the L in record books.
Basically, this game provided several relevant items for the coaching staff to digest as it relates to on-court combinations and rotation patters, and it also offered several teaching points for the next couple of practices. Both are invaluable tools for a team looking to carve out an identity early in the season and could help make things better down the road.
One point of emphasis, for instance, is how Marco Belinelli seems to be a player that is better suited to playing minutes when his team is up rather than when they're down. Against Cleveland last week, Belinelli came in and helped balloon a lead by being relaxed and in attack-mode, mentally ensconced in the security of a five-point lead when he checked into the game. He was mixing up his offense, going both one-on-one while also allowing his teammates to set him up, and he seemed to generate confidence from the team's pre-existing advantage. Against Orlando, he entered the game down seven and looked far less composed in his court time. He got a turnover (traveling) trying to go one-on-one and he later missed a bad pull-up jumper, which led to substitution seven seconds later. He was not to return.
Along those same lines, Amir Johnson was given a shot in this game to make an impact late in the second quarter and, unlike Belinelli, he did so by providing the kind of defense and energy that the team had lacked for the better part of the game to that point. He was liberally inserted back into the game for the rest of the afternoon and he was generally a positive asset when given the minutes on the court. In the absence of Reggie Evans, Johnson will be required to fire up the team's second unit, and on Sunday he had the team's best +/- at games' end (+4).
The one truly disconcerting roster quirk, though, was the continued slump of Jose Calderon. While his missed shots and low assist totals are noteworthy but expected to abate, he's being absolutely torched on defense, as Jameer Nelson's 30 points comes after a 10-and-10 outing by Mike Conley, whose low point total belies a penetration attack that initiated much of what made Memphis so effective against Toronto. Jose's defense has made it hard to keep him in games, especially down the stretch (he played sparingly in the fourth against Orlando), because he isn't burning teams back at the other end of the floor. Even when his offense returns, though, is it really going to be enough to offset such poor defensive skills over the course of a whole season? That will be an issue to focus on as the schedule grinds on.
Outside of simple player-to-player efforts, though, was the marked difference in the way the team opened the game and the way they played for most of the rest of the contest. This team was playing at a languid pace to start the game offensively, with several players simply standing around and holding the ball and too often attacking one-on-one. The guards were content to walk the ball up the court in transition and that, too, led to an overall lack of urgency in the team's attack. When the Raptors started closing their 22-point deficit, however, the pace of the game quickened significantly and the team's ability to catch up to Orlando will be a great tool for Jay Triano and his staff to use as a reminder of why he wants the team to play with some zip at the offensive end.
The turnovers that will and do result from guys trying to make plays are far more acceptable than the botched offensive possessions where the team simply came up lame for lack of effort. Over time the turnovers will subside as the teams gains familiarity, but the offensive intensity has to stay high even while they try to get there. The team isn't going to learn how to play alongside each other if they aren't forceful in trying to involve each other in the game.
Another teaching point will be the rotations on defense and on the glass. Toronto actually held the Magic to 44% shooting on the night, 10% BELOW what Toronto shot. However, Orlando was able to dominate most of the game because the Raptors allowed the Magic to shoot 53% from three (17-32 on the night). If the Raptors had played smarter and with more juice as it pertained to closing out on shooters, their defensive effort would have had a much larger impact in the game as a whole (at least a larger positive impact). Instead, they betrayed themselves by playing defense for 80% of a possession only to give up when the ball was kicked-out to the outside shooters.
Resident defensive guru Marc Iavaroni will be able to break down the tape for the team, though, and show them where each has to be on which rotations. The Raps were killed by Memphis when they allowed 52 points in the paint, and while Orlando only managed 28 in that category (good), they made up for it with 51 from behind the arc (bad). Defense is hard and it takes more commitment than most teams are willing to offer, but if the Raptors are serious about being a relevant team this year, they are going to have to extend their defense from the paint to the arc, with the same focus and intensity afforded to both.
One last point; Andrea Bargnani can now be seen routinely in the paint on defense NOT boxing out his man or attempting to corral a rebound. Memphis had 18 offensive rebounds and, as mentioned, Orlando grabbed 14. In those games, Bargnani not only averaged a paltry five boards, he was responsible for his team not securing several others with his refusal to put a body on his man. At this point everyone and their mother knows Bargnani isn't going to be a double-digit rebounder this season, but if he won't help his team out by getting between his man and the ball then, as with Calderon's perimeter defense, it's going to be hard to keep him in the game. Efforts like that are simply too prone to undermining the hard work done by teammates to be allowed to continue, so that will be the other big issue to keep an eye on over the next few weeks.
All in all, the Raptors were given an opportunity with their early win against Cleveland, followed by games against Memphis and an injury riddled Orlando Magic club, to give themselves a cushion of wins in this 'team development' phase of the season and they blew it. However, if - IF - they can manage a win against the 1-2 Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, then they'll go into their tough West Coast trip with a 2-and-2 record that would pretty much resemble what most would have expected before the season tipped off. All they have to do now is show that these last two losses have taught them something and actually earn that win in Detroit. Tune in to TSN2 on Wednesday to see how they are in that effort.

These LED snowflake outdoor lights are even more beautiful than I expected. They put out very bright color changing light. And with the built in light sensor, you plug them in and they come on automatically at dusk. I liked them so much, I bought a set for my Father.
Very cool lights, good price as well!
My wife loves these snowflake lights, they look great at night, just bought four more sets
There were a couple of broken stems that help hold the shafts onto the base, but they still went together. I would still buy them again because the price was so low. They look and work great!!!!

A limited number of accidental overdoses of Sandostatin® (octreotide acetate) in adults have been reported. In adults, the doses ranged from 2,400–6,000 micrograms/day administered by continuous infusion (100-250 micrograms/hour) or subcutaneously (1,500 micrograms t.i.d.). Adverse events in some patients included arrhythmia, hypotension, cardiac arrest, brain hypoxia, pancreatitis, hepatitis steatosis, hepatomegaly, lactic acidosis, flushing, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, and weight loss.
Sandostatin (octreotide acetate) Injection given in intravenous boluses of 1 mg (1000 mcg) to healthy volunteers did not result in serious ill effects, nor did doses of 30 mg (30,000 mcg) given intravenously over 20 minutes and of 120 mg (120,000 mcg) given intravenously over 8 hours to research patients.
If overdose occurs, symptomatic management is indicated. Up-to-date information about the treatment of overdose can often be obtained from the National Poison Control Center at 1800-222-1222.
Drug Abuse and Dependence
There is no indication that Sandostatin (octreotide acetate) has potential for drug abuse or dependence. Sandostatin (octreotide acetate) levels in the central nervous system are negligible, even after doses up to 30,000 mcg.
Sensitivity to this drug or any of its components.

DANDRIDGE (WATE) - Eight people were killed and 14 injured Wednesday afternoon when a church bus crossed the median of Interstate 40 in Jefferson County and crashed into two other vehicles.
The crash was reported around 2 p.m. at mile marker 422 involving three vehicles: a tractor trailer carrying paper products, a church bus, and a white SUV.
Officers say the bus was traveling eastbound when its front left tire popped, causing the bus to travel across the median and strike a tractor trailer and an SUV that were traveling westbound.
The tractor trailer caught fire and the bus overturned.
"There was some heat exposure to a section of the bus. We were able to remove all the victims fairly rapidly that were alive," said Jefferson County EMA Brad Phillips.
Truck driver Charles Ragan witnessed the crash.
"This is the first scene that's bothered me that bad, and I've seen them all. So I've cried. I've been here since 2 o'clock, and I've cried and I'll cry again. I'm about to cry now. But it's a bad thing," he said.
Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesperson Dalya Qualls says eight people died in the crash: six were on the bus, one in the tractor-trailer, and one in an SUV.
Fourteen people were injured. Four were flown to area hospitals, eight were transported by ground, and two were not transported.
As of 7 p.m. Wednesday, eight surviving victims were in critical condition, two in serious condition, and four in stable condition.
Jefferson County EMA Director Brad Phillips says no children were involved in the crash.
Three people were in the SUV, one person in the tractor-trailer, and 18 people were on the bus from Front Street Baptist Church in Statesville, N.C.
The truck driver worked for B.A.H. Express Inc. out of Atlanta.
Pastor's wife Dionne Stutts told ABC affiliate WSOC the bus was carrying senior adult church members. They were on their way home from an event called the Fall Jubilee in Gatlinburg. Church pastors say they are on the way to the area.
Jubilee Conferences issued the following statement: "Our thoughts are with our friends at Front Street Baptist Church in their tragic loss. Pastor Johnny Hunt, the congregation at First Baptist Church Woodstock, and all the Jubilee team have you in our prayers."
Officials are now putting together the pieces of what happened and looking at the mechanics of the bus as well as the driver.
"Driver history of the bus driver, qualifications of the bus driver, as far as DOD inspections on the bus will all be looked at," said THP Sgt. Bill Miller.
If you believe you have an immediate family member in the crash, you can call the American Red Cross at (865) 305-5716 for assistance.
