My AT&T works fine. It didn't until they did their merger a while back, when I had it the first time I got out of my contract after a year of promises that I could connect where I worked by dragging the gov't in (this was during the time of the Wireless Consumer Bill of Rights that seems to have been totally forgotten by gov't regulators now- unlock on request, remember that one?). But now? No problem in California and, when I travelled back east last year, it worked fine in Philly and Jersey. My older son travels all over the country installing art pieces, and it works wherever he goes. So making some kind of smarmy comment about how it doesn't work just throws the writer's biases into focus and makes me doubt the veracity of what he writes.
As to tethering, I have TetherMe and it works fine. I don't need it that much (usually I stay in hotels that have WiFi) so didn't see the need to spend more. But if MiWi makes people happy and they get more functionality, I have no issues with them spending more than me. It's opportunity cost and substitute goods in action.
As to the name-calling, it would be nice if that would just... go away. We all know what opinions are like, and of course OURS doesn't smell. How about just keeping things civil, and leave the trash talk on the Jr. High playground.
Why pay a $20 monthly charge, when you can pay a one time 20-$25 fee?? No brainer to me :]
MyWi is the best thing out there, AT&T is way late on this hotspot feature, plus they want to charge you $20 more for it. That itself is crazy.
They should just bring back unlimited Data for a limited Time.
AND, on a sidenote, with bandwidth becoming more and more precious these days, I am betting these companies (not just ATT but all cell phone companies) are going to start cracking down on those stealing their tethering plans. Either that, or just start imposing really low data caps... as ATT has already done. Who is to blame? Consumers that don;t want to pay for what they are using. I don't see this as being any different than pirating a game from a major developer. You are getting something for nothing.
Yes, it is infrastructure! WPA-PSK is only compatable with infrastructure, and here is a video showing the iphone connected to a laptop with WPA!
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF6jXr0vw0U]YouTube - Firmware iOs 4.3 beta IPHONE 4 HOTSPOT WIFI[/ame]
EDIT: note that the video is not from me. ow, and i cant believe that the MyWi creatord didn't figure out that an inf network was possible. lol still cheers to them 4 bringing tethering b4 apple!
fact is if you were lucky enough to grab unlimited data plana and you have jailbroken phone none of these new updates should even matter we have them for years and we (jailbreaking community) still remain ahead of the apple curve when it comes to innovative software
MyWi 4 Life ... Well as long as there is Jailbreak anyways !!!
Get rid of data caps first. AT&T sucks 2GB I can use that in one day Lmfao!
From My experience with MyWi, it only works with other iOS devices. I haven't tried it with a Laptop or PC yet. But I have tried sharing My connection with a Blackberry and HTC Evo to no a vail.
And guess what as soon as the mms was enable the network was dealing with a lot of traffic and crashes Att was ready to handle the iPhone massive traffic....

A pyrotechnician from Utah was in critical condition at a Las Vegas hospital after he was struck in the head by a malfunctioning fireworks display Thursday night in Kingman.
Jeremy Lee, 40, was checking why a pre-packaged box of fireworks malfunctioned when they unexpectedly detonated out of the side of the tubes and struck Lee in the head about 9:30 p.m., said Kingman Deputy Police Chief Rusty Cooper.
Lee, who was wearing the appropriate safety equipment, suffered massive head injuries and burns, Cooper said.
Lee was taken from the Mohave County Fairgrounds to Kingman Regional Medical Center and then flown to University Medical Center in Las Vegas.

You've heard the inherited wisdom: "Drink only white wine with seafood." As with most of the basic guidelines for wine pairing, it's well-intentioned, a useful way to break down the options for what to drink with dinner. But once you understand the reasoning behind it, you can move beyond it with confidence, and reap the rewards.
Why you should break it: The field of available, delicious red wine is so large and diverse now that very few blanket rules can effectively apply. If you're looking to match your seafood with something fruity or light-bodied, higher-acid or even sparkling, well -- there's a red for that.
Join the chat on SnoothDo you have a go-to "just for fun" wine? Do you have any favorite bottles for under $10? Head to the Snooth forums and let us know. While you're there, weigh in on our Global Tasting Initiative by telling us about your best-ever Cabernet Sauvignon experience.
There's plenty of useful wisdom built into this particular rule. For one, it's meant to stop the pairing of lighter-bodied wines with heavy, over-powering foods. It's also born of the idea that the high tannins and low acidity of some red wines make a very poor (and often grossly metallic) match for the oils found in plenty of seafood dishes. The rule even picked up a bit of scientific evidence last year, when a team of Japanese researchers discovered that the high iron content of red wine exacerbates the 'fishy' aftertaste of scallops.
Knowing the background to the rule, however, just gives you all the more ammo to break through it. Here are some reds to test out at your next seafood supper:
An elegant, lighter-bodied Pinot Noir is a great call for simple grilled or baked salmon. This is a perfect opportunity to go with another pairing guideline -- matching the wine's region to the food's origin -- and open an Oregon Pinot with something fresh-caught in the Pacific Northwest.
Two to try:
2006 Winter's Hill Pinot Noir
2006 Maison Champy Bourgogne Rouge
With refreshing acidity, complex fruit-and-earth notes, and very soft tannins, Barbera is an excellent match for tuna's rich, meaty flesh. Throw it on the grill alongside well-oiled veggies.
Two to try:
2004 Flavio Roddolo Barbera d'Alba
2007 Bazzini Barbera
Serve it up with skate -- the relatively meaty, mild-flavored flesh comes alive with a medium-bodied, slightly black pepper-inflected Syrah.
Two to try:
2006 Chave Offerus St. Joseph
2007 Cline
Here's another good opportunity to consider the wine's region, and then eat like a local (or vice versa). The next time you try your hand at paella, go straight for a lighter-bodied Rioja.
Two to try:
2003 R. Lopez de Heredia Cubillo
1999 Miguel Merino Rioja Gran Reserva
Light-bodied and full of sprightly fruit, Beaujolais is typically a very food-friendly selection, and a great way to entice white wine loyalists to cross to the dark(er) side. Give it a chill and serve it outdoors with rich, well-peppered tuna or wild salmon.
Two to try:
2003 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette
2007 Cheateau de Pizay Beaujolais

While breaking down the Hawks' options concerning J.J. and free agency, I mentioned in passing that the Hawks could gain a trade exception and perhaps a draft pick in a sign-and-trade with a team under the salary cap. Aaron, a moderator at Hawksquawk.net, emailed to say he thinks the exception (acquired in what's known as a "non-simultaneous trade") could be more beneficial than initially meets the eye:
"The traded player exception (TPE) the Hawks would get by trading him to a team under the cap would be extremely useful in future trades. It's very possible that the Hawks could move Joe to somewhere like Chicago for a TPE and then turn around and use the TPE to acquire a replacement wing. Just off the top of my head, someone like Corey Maggette would definitely fit the mold of an available scoring wing. (Not sure how he'd feel about Crawford, but it's just a thought). Joe wouldn't mind because it wouldn't affect his bottom line in a negative way, and the team receiving him would definitely be interested because it lowers his initial salary, thereby increasing the salary space they have to pursue complimentary players."
(What he means by the lower initial salary is that because of the larger future raises available to a Bird Rules free agent, J.J.'s first-year salary would be lower in a sign-and-trade than in a straightforward signing.)
Good point by Aaron, and one that's actually illustrated by the example I used in the post: Seattle's sign-and-trade of Rashard Lewis to Orlando in 2008 for a $9 million trade exception and a second-round pick. In a non-simultaneous, a team can acquire up to 100 percent of the salary sent out plus $100,00 with any difference built up as a sort of credit known as a trade exception. Since draft picks have $0 value in trades until the player signs a rookie contract, the Hawks could get a pick and also get the full value of J.J.'s new contract as an exception and acquire a player(s) in a future trade (the limit is a year) without the requirement of matching salaries.
Typically, teams willing to trade a player without receiving a player in return tend to be teams looking to trim payroll and/or get out from under a contract (Maggette, to use Aaron's example, has 3 years and $30.8 million left on his deal). And that's pretty much what happened to the Sonics: they used the $9 million exception to acquire Kurt Thomas from the Suns, who were looking to shed payroll and gained an $8 million trade exception.
But the Sonics also got two first-round draft picks in that deal and later dealt Thomas to the Spurs for another first-round pick and a couple of expiring contracts. (That sequence of deals is one of the many examples of why Michael Gearon Jr.'s disdain for "bad contracts" can be a tad overstated: in the NBA, there's almost always a way to move players for something of value even if it requires some short-term pain.)
So Aaron is right that a trade exception could be no small thing. The Hawks likely wouldn't be able to get a comparable player to J.J., or might have to take on an burdensome contract do so, but it would provide more possibilities than simply using the mid-level, bi-annual and minimum-salary exceptions to plug the hole.
– The latest on the Hawks coaching search: Dwane Casey is set for another interview, Avery Johnson's desire for personnel power has been overstated, Larry Drew is being considered and Mark Jackson appears to be a long shot. Rick Sund apparently hasn't even narrowed down his initial list of candidates to a leading group.

Great breakdown on the contracts…..So it seems like we are operating under the assumption that Joe Johnson is a goner. FIRST
May 24th, 2010
4:06 pm
Unfortunately, I don't see the Hawks being a "true" contender next year without resigning Joe. Barring the playoffs, he's the leader and best player on our team and there would be no way for us to replace him since we don't have the cap room to sign a big time free agency. And, Maggette's a bum we don't need.
Maybe a new coach and a new offensive strategy will get Joe going again and away from those stupid iso plays…
May 24th, 2010
4:13 pm
Could the Hawks do a sign and trade to the Bulls, and get Deng (and maybe a draft pick) in return? Deng would be an upgrade at starting SF, and put Marvin back at a 6 man spot.

Hawk n the Ham:
I brought it up yesterday but no one responded.
If JJ wants to leave or wants too much money,
J. Johnson + (M. Williams) or (J. Childress) for
K. Hinrich + Luol Deng
May 24th, 2010
4:18 pm
Put Marvin in the toilet and flush
May 24th, 2010
4:25 pm
I think Marvin would play a lot better alongside Noah, Taj and Derrick
May 24th, 2010
4:28 pm
Serious post:
Let's go ahead and say that JJ resigns and we get a good xs and os coach.
Childress may want to come back to Atlanta since woodys set in stone starters are now competing again. And personally I think he'll steal that starting role from marvin and put him in the back up role he was meant to play. Which will make him a more aggresive player since hell have limited minutes.
Next teague is going to develop. That shimmer we saw against the cleveland back ups is going to progresse during summer ball and he's going to come out playing like the pg we've all been hoping for since we kissed chris paul goodbye.
A couple more bench pieces and we look like this
Now is that really that bad of a team?
May 24th, 2010
4:31 pm
May 24th, 2010
4:34 pm
I think we need to send marvin somewhere and get something in return because he was a ghost this year and did nothing to help this team. i also think jeff teague is gonna fit into his role next year nicely with bibby's shooting coming off the bench. so MC do you think aquiring a center and moving al to 4 and then have josh at 3 would be a good call if the coach can put it in josh's head to DRIVE THE BALL? that would leave alot more space for Jamal and jeff teague to drive or shoot the 3…. What do you think???
May 24th, 2010
4:47 pm
Ugh. My head hurts from trying to understand this.
May 24th, 2010
4:55 pm
Larry Drew? Are You kidding me? Why would we hire one of Woodrow's assistants? Dont even go there Sund! If we go from interviewing Avery to hiring Larry Drew, I'll …………. !!!! Thought we needed a DIFFERENT voice???
May 24th, 2010
4:58 pm
If Joe is traded, I really think that Marvin Williams should remain and play 39 minutes per game until he hopefully creates a niche in the offense.
Many rookies like B.Jennings C.Paul and company assimilated into systems that really needed them to produce and play at high levels.
Marvin fought for time with childress and also had a long period of time sitting behind that iso heavy offense mainly run for G's.
I think that alot is being said about trading hawks players when none of the players want it and honestly, Joe Johnson is an irreplaceable top 5 sg and Marvin is the only hawk that is YOUNG and can drive+shoot some mid-long range shots. i think the hawks can improve but i just dont think trading Joe or Marvin is the answer.
i can see the hawks adding fire power on the bench at PF and SF should evans decide to leave but i see no trades
i say force Marvin to a consistent 39MPG
get Teague + Bibby both playing pg in games
Crawford+joe at sg. (ill take my chances on Crawford defensively)
hope that the isos will diminish but that's just my opinion.
May 24th, 2010

Hawks poop, thats a bunch of poop! Isnt that the same team we had this year, – the Fro? We need to add NBA caliber bench players. Send Mario, Hamburger Collins, Joe "cant hit a jumper" Smith and co. packing.
May 24th, 2010
5:01 pm
hawks poop
Why would you want to bring back the same heartless bunch that showed no fight aganist the heartless Magic?
Smoove and Horford are the same players, however Horford is a leader, and it's time to break that tandem up. They have take you as far as they can. Trade Smoove a get budding star.
May 24th, 2010
5:02 pm
oh yeah childress could take marvins role but i think the hawks need to commit to keeping one of them on the team.
May 24th, 2010
5:03 pm
Losing Joe could hurt the Hawks, but I dont think it would be dire if the pieces aquired would fit nicely. I also think that without Joe we would see more good in Marvins game if he were more of a focal point and was able to practice touching the ball in an offense geared more towards him. He has all of the tools, but our limited ball/player movement style does not suit Marvins game. If he got regular screens then he's a good enough shooter. In an offense that had more cuts to the basket, then he can finish well enough (not great but with more touches, he would improve) and is smart enough that I think he could become a better passer. He does not seem to have the hunger required to "get his" when he has to "take it", but could do "it" if he was designated. I think he could get you 18-19ppg
I think that would also provide Al with another 6 touches with is probably good for 6 or 7 more ppgs for Al.
Im not saying that I want joe gone, but mabe a monte ellis,+ marcus camby+ right coach/system would at least keep the hawks contending.(monte and camby just to name a couple)
Add to that an improved more frequently used jeff teague. Who knows………
May 24th, 2010
5:07 pm
Why are people assuming Jeff Teague is the new starting pg? I think he has potential too, but remember it was Woody who just recently came out and said next year is Teague's time. Unfortunately for Woody, and fortunately for us, it was a tad bit too late for that. Hope the new Coach sees what it took Woody 2 years to see. Mike Bibby is over the hill.
May 24th, 2010
5:10 pm
MC — you think you could refer MB and JS to your excellent blog so they can write with an informed opinion on the Hawks, instead of the usual talking-out-of-the-hindquarters that they usually do?
Thanks so much MC — you have exceeded a pretty high standard set by your predecessor. SS was a fine beat writer but could never be bothered to actually get into the nuts and bolts of the CBA. He also came off as a bit pompous and holier-than-thou when challenged.
High marks, MC.
May 24th, 2010
5:12 pm
Interesting. Chicago does have some players I'm interested in if Joe wants to go there instead of staying here.
To echo the poster who mentioned keeping Joe, this is also a favorable situation with a coach who can better utilize the guys we have. I'm looking forward to an offense that actually spaces well, runs off-ball movement and ball movement, uses screens to free up our best shooters, etc.
No more "Iso and good luck" crap anymore.
May 24th, 2010
5:12 pm
the hawks need to try a sign and trade to move bibby and smoove to dallas for dirk and sign b haywood with the money they r going give to joe your because dallas dont just want to lose dirk and not get anything and draft mikial torrence your staters would be mikial torrence crawford dirk al and b haywood on the bench u would have teague chills marvin j smithe za za thats a contender
May 24th, 2010
5:15 pm
GeeMack ,
You're sure that the tandem of Smith and Horford has gone as far as it can? Considering they are no more than 24 years old and have only been playing together for three years, I find that a tad hard to believe.
I'm curious as to who you think an adequate replacement (or rather, an upgrade) is?
May 24th, 2010
5:24 pm
now the hawks maybe work out a s&t involving bibby joe and smoove for dirk it could clear a enough cap space to sign b haywood but i'm like u li t the hawks need a big man
May 24th, 2010
5:25 pm
I thought I had a monopoly on poop on this blog…
May 24th, 2010
5:27 pm
Big Ray they need to upgrad at center move al to pf and get a sf that can shoot and play defense because al and smoove are 2 similar players
May 24th, 2010
5:28 pm
hey you just like using the word poop hope u have a scooper
May 24th, 2010
5:34 pm
Sign Joe to a 4yr deal ONLY, draft a sf to replace Marvin in the starting lineup(Paul George)(Move up with Chills rights if we have to), replace Mario with Damien Wilkins, replace Collins and Morris with Kurt Thomas and Jamal McGloire, replace Joe Smith with Drew Gooden, Craig Smith, or Big Baby, and hire a good coach, and we're set.
Bibby/Crawford/Marvin/Gooden/Kurt Thomas/Zaza/Evans/McGloire
Really no need to break up the team just yet. Just add a few vet bigs to frustrate Howard, and see what we can do with a real coach.

My question / hypothetical trade may send out a 'nire' alert !
I have been to Coon's site & I've now taken:
2 vicodins + 1 darvocet & 3 tylenol. (just kidding)
Non-simultaneous trade:
Joe S&T to New Orleans for Okafor + # 11 draft pick.
Thereby making it a non-simultaneous trade.
(not completed until draft ??? )
N.O.'s motivation besides getting Joe:
shedding Okafor's egregious contract.
Joe's motivation / max deal or extra yr. + proximity to LR Ark.
playing alongside Chris Paul & playing in a non abrasive market.
Our motivation – Okafor can defend D.Howard, minus double team.
Plus # 11 pick generates Paul George or Xavier Henry.
The question:
N.O. not under sal. cap.
Can a non-sim. trade be generated w/o recieving team [NO]
being under cap.
Is it even a non-sim. trade?

No one should assume that Larry Drew thinks and acts like Woody, and would be a continuation of the same old thing. Drew gets a lot of respect from the players, and would think on his own in decision making. That being said, the general public will think, like Terrell, that this is just more Woody, and probably won't give him as much of a chance as someone outside of the existing organization.

Sign and trade Joe Johnson
The Chicago Bulls get Joe Johnson
The Memphis Grizzlies get Luol Deng and Marvin Williams, maybe even our 1st round draft pick
The Atlanta Hawks get Joakim Noah and O.J. Mayo
There you go Rick Sund, now make it happen, or do I have to make all of the phone calls as well?

Trading JJ w/o BIG in return doesn't help us.
Let's examine the remaining 4 teams:
Lakers: Bynum, Gasol
Suns: Stoudamire, Lopez
Celtics: KG, Rasheed, Perkins
Magic: Howard, Gortat
One thing in common, real BIGS!!!
Horford and JSmoove as a front-line will only get you to the playoffs, you wont win SHT!
May 24th, 2010
6:11 pm
Grandad ,
Okafor is a quarter-to-a-half inch taller, and maybe 5-10 pounds heavier than Horford. I guess this makes Okafor a center? Just asking. It would be something to see both guys in the same frontcourt, but what do you then do with Josh Smith? Gotta think this through, so I'm guessing trade, because Josh is not a 3, and probably isn't a guy who thrives coming off the bench. I can only imagine what kind of coach it would take to convince him to do such a thing. Okafor/Horford would provide one tough frontcourt that would gobble up at least 20 rebounds per game by themselves, I'm thinking.
Add a Paul George or Xavier Henry and we may have something. Still have to have an answer at the pg, and though I like Teague, another option may not be a bad idea just in case. You know, make the job Teague's to lose, then have a backup plan if he actually loses it. Or not….we could just go with a vet/young vet as backup. Bibby is backup, but we are better limiting his minutes.

Larry Drew is in no way the same as Mike Woodson. There is no reason to believe so. Do we also assume that assistants of other coaches are carbon copies of their bosses? Do you think the exact same way as YOUR boss? I know I don't…

Big Ray:
"You're sure that the tandem of Smith and Horford has gone as far as it can? Considering they are no more than 24 years old and have only been playing together for three years, I find that a tad hard to believe."
I agree / bear with me.
My above question was just thst – a question?
Not my trade of the day, (coming later)
That hpothetical was to help me understand.
I spent 30 min. on L.Coon's site & I got swimmy headed.
If Joe leaves and we can trade up high enough to get
- Paul George -
we may not be as bad off as we think.
He's young but can do alot of what Joe does
@ a fraction of the cost + he's more explosive.
[gets to the line]
And we can still get a vet.
G-dad's T.o.t.D. after 'while.

I like your ideas alot. I've thought Wilkins would be a great fit here for the league minimum. I do want to see though if Marvin is any better under a new coach.

Cant believe anyone still has faith in Marvin's game. It's been 5 freakin years. Unbelievable!

I wouldn't want Okafor to start either.
He would only be a high priced D.Howard defender.

I love it when people think that Josh and Al are the reason why this team won't go any further. I agree that we need more size/toughness…but tell me which teams still in the playoffs don't have the following:
1) An effective pg.
2) An effective wing player who is either an effective/contributing scorer or a more than solid defender.
3) The best player on the team is performing well.
All three elements were missing from our team. All three are why the Magic are the weakest link in this year's "final four." The Magic have two "real bigs" who are bigger than anybody on the Celtics squad. Why are they on the verge of being swept with the league's best center and Defensive Player of the Year?
"Real bigs" is not the only issue, nor is it the biggest issue.
And who the heck cares about Robin Lopez. He's such a stud that he couldn't even consistently take the starting job from Channing "I only wipe with Charmin toilet paper because I'm a pansy-a$$" Frye. He gets 20 minutes a game. He's big, but he ain't even as good as his brother, who lost an all-star bid to none other than Al Horford.
Bigs. Part of the story, but definitely not the whole story.

Sund is a joke. My sources are telling me he went on 790 saying he wasn't concerned about the blowout losses to Orlando because other teams were getting blown out too
May 24th, 2010
6:32 pm
I have to strongly disagree with the notion that Larry Drew is tainted by his presence on the former head coach's staff. I would in fact argue that his knowledge of the players and politics of this organization provide him with a unique opportunity ,at least in the short term, to take the team to a higher level of performance.
I also strongly disagree with the notion that losing Joe makes the Hawks weaker. As it stands, management is suggesting that joe play for more money but a "different role". After being the leading scorer-but not the leader-of the team, does anyone rationall believe he is going to be comfortable on THIS team in a non leading scorer/ first option guy? He can be that on a team tht has a greater playoff potential via free agency. If the former coach is to be blamed for the offensive woe's of the team, Joe has to bear some resposibility as well.
Plus, with Joe it is about the benjamins; remember the point guard thing didn't work out because he said he didn't want to do it beause playing point didn't let him do what he did best:score.
Last, for all of the haters out there ,another coach means another system that can be built around the player's strengths and not a coach's arbitrary assignment of roles based on his stubborn attachment to his strategy.Remember a mind is like a paraachute: it works better when it's open.
May 24th, 2010
6:32 pm
Grandad ,
Not arguing, just pondering. And oh hell yes, I would exercise my avarice right along with you in wanting Collins. I just don't think New Orleans will give him up, not with CP3's knees. Heck, they'd probably rather cut bait and run with CP3. Well, maybe not yet, but you can bet they're at least thinking about it.
As far as Smith and Horford, I'm all for upgrading or finding a better fit….if it can be found, and as long as we can also see to it that we upgrade the 1 and 3 spots (and manage to survive at the 2 if Joe leaves). I'm just tired of people suggesting trading one or the other for some mysterious center that will make everything alright and automatically bring a championship.
People need only look at the Orlando Magic and super duper center Dwight Howard (who has a viable 7 foot backup) to see that this is NOT the end-all be-all in the league.
Besides, how many talented "real centers" do you see these days? Remember when it was Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Alonzo Mourning, Brad Daugherty, Rik Smits, etc? Dwight would have gotten murdered by every single one of those guys.

May 24th, 2010

The best part about getting a new coach is that we will finally see Marvin and Teague and if they have anything to offer this team. Getting Avery would be money for Teague (I hope?).
My top 3 coaching candidates in order are: Avery, Sam Mitchell, and Doc Rivers (pipe dream). Sam Mitchell seems like a guy who demands respect and will finally put Smoove in his place. Avery got to THE NBA FINALS. Any coach who gets a team to the Finals should be well respected (Note: D'Antoni never got the Suns there). Avery obviously had no answer for GSW in 2007, but what about Byron and JVG? Byron hardly did anything in NOH and JVG LOST to Dallas in Round 1 in 2006 after being up 2-0 after winning the first 2 games in Dallas.
Anyway, get Avery and see if he wants Teague or try steal Devin Harris from NJN, hoping they can get a PG.
The bottom line is we need a point guard.
And I ask the rest of AJC: IF WE NEED A CENTER, THEN WHAT DO U DO WITH HORFORD AND SMOOVE? THEY ARE STARTERS IN THIS LEAGUEU AND SMOOVE WILL SUFFER AS A PG. SMOOVE IS A TWEENER BUT IS A BETTER PF THAN SF. U CANNOT GET A CENTER WITHOUT TRADING HORFORD OR SMOOVE.
There is no way Chills takes the QO here. He'll make 4.5 Million playing on the East Coast (I'm pretty sure he'd rather be in Cali) and that's without his 50% tax bracket. This is opposed to staying in Greece and making 10M a year with no taxes to worry about.
I don't know anything about Tyrone Corbin as a coach but come on…A borderline elite/ECF team looking at an assistant coach who was a role player here for 4 years?
May 24th, 2010
6:37 pm
JeJe ,
If we add a starting center, we either have to trade Josh Smith or bench him. Can't bench Al Horford. He's a major part of the future of this team. In fact, if Joe was gone and I had to choose a single player to keep around and build around, it would be Horford. He's still got the cheapest contract of all the starters, was named an all-star in his third year, and is a natural leader. And, he's steadier than Josh Smith any day of the week, despite Smith's considerable talents. This isn't an indictment of Smith, just how I view it. I like Smoove, but he has yet to prove he can be trusted to bust his hump and keep his head in the game all or nearly all of the time.
May 24th, 2010
6:38 pm
I hope the Hawks Org learned something from this pass season; the most important being that size does really matter. Our twitter lineup just isn't going to work in the post-season (if we are so fortunate to make it there again). The line-up with Al (5) and Josh (4) is fine in situational team match-ups but is not the solution for the long haul. When you add Bibby (who is also a twitter) and the weak bench, perhaps this explain our inconsistent problems and why we played so poorly in the play-off. Let's not kid ourselves; Phil Jackson couldn't have done much better with this team.
The new coach need to be a part of re-designing of this team. What we don't want to happen is Sund making roster changes and additions without the new coach's inputs. As he continues to interview prospects and take his time (as he should), I hope his decision comes sooner rather than later. The upcoming draft is looming closer and this team has so many gaps to fill, it will take the collected will of both the GM and new coaching staff to take this team to where the ASG has claim it needs to be. Since, the team shortcomings have been well documented from just about every NBA expert on the planet, any attempt to cover-up, mask, or localized the blame to be "just coaching" will not work. If such a tragedy happens, the next firing could come from the office of Rick Sund.

Okay, like I've said, I can roll with that? But what is the solution to the size issue in the lineup? Specifics, not the ususal "get a center" vanilla answer. Heard that one too many times already.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Fire managers have decided to lift evacuations for some neighborhoods affected by a blaze in Arizona's Granite Mountain Wilderness.
As of Saturday evening, residents in the Williamson Valley Road area will be allowed to return home. That includes the American Ranch, Sundown Acres, Cielo Grande, Stazinski Road and Mint Creek Ranch neighborhoods.
Evacuations will remain in place for Granite Basin, Alto Recreation Area, Blackjack and Camp Anytown.
In all, the Doce Fire forced the evacuation of more than 460 homes after it started Tuesday northwest of Prescott.
Firefighters focused Saturday on bolstering fire lines. They have contained 40% of the fire despite the hot, dry conditions.
The fire has charred almost 11 square miles.
Crews are also battling a fire in eastern Arizona that has charred more than 2 square miles. The Rock Creek Fire is not threatening any structures.

Gene therapy carries the promise of cures for many diseases and for types of medical treatment most of us would not have thought possible. With its potential to eliminate and prevent hereditary diseases such as cystic fibrosis and hemophilia and its use as a possible cure for heart disease, AIDS, and cancer, gene therapy is a potential medical miracle-worker.
But what about gene therapy for children? There's a fair amount of risk involved in trials of this kind of therapy, and to date, only kids who are seriously ill or have illnesses incurable by conventional means have been involved in clinical trials using gene therapy.
For those with serious illnesses that aren't responsive to conventional therapies, however, gene therapy may soon offer hope that didn't exist just a short time ago.
Our genes are part of what makes us unique. Inherited from our parents, they go far in determining our physical traits — like the color of our eyes and the color and texture of our hair. They also determine things like whether babies will be male or female, the amount of oxygen blood can carry, and IQ.
Genes are composed of strands of a molecule called DNA and are located in single file within the chromosomes. The genetic message is encoded by the building blocks of the DNA, which are called nucleotides. Approximately 3 billion pairs of nucleotides are in the chromosomes of a human cell, and each person's genetic makeup has a unique sequence of nucleotides. This is mainly what makes us different from one another.
Scientists believe that every human has about 25,000 genes per cell. A mutation, or change, in any one of these genes can result in a disease, physical disability, or shortened life span. These mutations can be passed from one generation to another, inherited just like a mother's red hair or a father's brown eyes. Mutations also can occur spontaneously in some cases, without having been passed on by a parent. With gene therapy, the treatment or elimination of inherited diseases or physical conditions due to these mutations could become a reality.
Gene therapy involves the manipulation of genes to fight or prevent diseases. Put simply, it introduces a "good" gene into a person who has a disease caused by a "bad" gene.
The two forms of gene therapy are:
Gene therapy is done only through clinical trials, which often take years to complete. After new drugs or procedures are tested in laboratories, clinical trials are conducted with human patients under strictly controlled circumstances. Such trials usually last 2 to 4 years and go through several phases of research. In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must then approve the new therapy for the marketplace, which can take another 2 years.
The most active research being done in gene therapy for kids has been for genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis. Other gene therapy trials involve children with severe immunodeficiencies, such as adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency (a rare genetic disease that makes kids prone to serious infection), and those with familial hypercholesterolemia (extremely high levels of serum cholesterol).
Gene therapy does have risks and limitations. The viruses and other agents used to deliver the "good" genes can affect more than the cells for which they're intended. If a gene is added to DNA, it could be put in the wrong place, which could potentially cause cancer or other damage.
Genes also can be "overexpressed," meaning they can drive the production of so much of a protein that they can be harmful. Another risk is that a virus introduced into one person could be transmitted to others or into the environment.
Although the National Cancer Institute reports that such problems have not occurred in any of the human gene therapy trials to date, not everyone is excited about this new kind of treatment.
Gene therapy trials in children present an ethical dilemma, according to some gene therapy experts. Kids with an altered gene may have mild or severe effects and the severity often can't be determined in infants. So just because some kids appear to have a genetic problem doesn't mean they'll be substantially affected by it, but they'll have to live with the knowledge of that problem.
Kids could be tested for disorders if there is a medical treatment or a lifestyle change that could be beneficial — or if knowing they don't carry the gene reduces the medical surveillance needed. For example, finding out a child doesn't carry the gene for a disorder that runs in the family might mean that he or she doesn't have to undergo yearly screenings or other regular exams.
To cure genetic diseases, scientists must first determine which gene or set of genes causes each disease. The Human Genome Project and other international efforts have completed the initial work of sequencing and mapping virtually all of the 25,000 to 35,000 genes in the human cell. This research will provide new strategies to diagnose, treat, cure, and possibly prevent human diseases.
Although this information will help scientists determine the genetic basis of many diseases, it will be a long time before diseases actually can be treated through gene therapy.
Gene therapy's potential to revolutionize medicine in the future is exciting, and hopes are high for its role in curing and preventing childhood diseases. One day it may be possible to treat an unborn child for a genetic disease even before symptoms appear.
Scientists hope that the human genome mapping will help lead to cures for many diseases and that successful clinical trials will create new opportunities. For now, however, it's a wait-and-see situation, calling for cautious optimism.

The Computational Nature of Language Learning and Evolution
The nature of the interplay between language learning and the evolution of a language over generational time is subtle. We can observe the learning of language by children and marvel at the phenomenon of language acquisition; the evolution of a language, however, is not so directly experienced. Language learning by children is robust and reliable, but it cannot be perfect or languages would never change—and English, for example, would not have evolved from the language of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. In this book Partha Niyogi introduces a framework for analyzing the precise nature of the relationship between learning by the individual and evolution of the population.
Learning is the mechanism by which language is transferred from old speakers to new. Niyogi shows that the evolution of language over time will depend upon the learning procedure—that different learning algorithms may have different evolutionary consequences. He finds that the dynamics of language evolution are typically nonlinear, with bifurcations that can be seen as the natural explanatory construct for the dramatic patterns of change observed in historical linguistics. Niyogi investigates the roles of natural selection, communicative efficiency, and learning in the origin and evolution of language—in particular, whether natural selection is necessary for the emergence of shared languages.
Over the years, historical linguists have postulated several accounts of documented language change. Additionally, biologists have postulated accounts of the evolution of communication systems in the animal world. This book creates a mathematical and computational framework within which to embed those accounts, offering a research tool to aid analysis in an area in which data is often sparse and speculation often plentiful.

—Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of The Language Instinct, Words and Rules, How the Mind Works, and The Blank Slate
"Partha Niyogi introduces new perspectives on the link between language acquisition and language change across generations. He theorizes with a mathematician's rigor, generalizes across biological, political, and cultural distinctions, and offers intriguing simulations."
—David W. Lightfoot, Professor of Linguistics, Georgetown University, and Assistant Director, National Science Foundation
"A study of the relationship between language learning by individuals and the evolution of language gives rise to a host of issues, all of them controversial. Niyogi has first provided a lucid discussion of many of these issues and then suggested a very interesting formal and computational model, based primarily on a distribution over the grammars of a population of learners. Linguists and computational linguists of different persuasions will find this book very rewarding."
—Aravind K. Joshi, Henry Salvatori Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science, University of Pennsylvania
"Biological evolution can only be understood by thinking in terms of populations. This book helps us to think in terms of linguistic populations. The vast array of examples and models offers a wealth of tools for understanding the dynamics of the subtle interplay between language evolution and language learning."
—Karl Sigmund, Faculty for Mathematics, University of Vienna

Sometimes the right person for the job has to be imported. When the late Felix Wurman needed someone to manage The Kosmos performance space, he summoned Austin expatriate Maggie Ross. In a year's time, Ross has made the space a versatile tool, a virtual Swiss Army Knife for the community with live rock shows, chamber music, yoga classes, movies, poetry readings and a full coffee bar. I managed to catch up with the industrious Ross (no easy task) for some Q-and-A.
You're wandering through a labyrinthine mansion, lured on by eerily seductive voices. Spider webs audibly brush your cheeks and chimes ring out all around as you stumble into a room painted with murals of unicorns and rainbows. Some kind of plastic box emits scratchy beats and two beautiful sirens with mustaches and goatees beckon you with nonsense words. Crickets or perhaps a ceiling fan whir in the background. Did you watch a David Lynch movie right before bed? No, but you could've been listening to CocoRosie.
As Friedrich Nietzsche attests, "There are no facts, only interpretations." Maybe a newspaper is not the best forum for this idea, but the vast world of art can't help but create infinite lenses through which we can observe the world.
Put on your antique deep-sea diving suit (everyone has one lying around somewhere) and take a trip under zee zea to a magical land where two-tone ska and Latin indie music intermingle with anemone/clown-fish symbiosis. The Blue Hornets and Con Razon perform on Saturday, Oct. 2, at Low Spirits (2823 Second Street NW) at 9 p.m. for a petite $5 cover charge. (Jessica Cassyle Carr)

Living in fear...When I first came to the conclusion that I no longer accepted any established religion and washed Christianity off my palate I was at a crossroads. I was an agnostic deist when my wife and I exchanged vows and within the first year of marriage I came to the conclusion through my studies (and prayers) that there was no supreme being. My wife, however, had not altered her beliefs. Living in a state of perpetual fear that she would reject me for what I came to believe was s … [Read more...]

Eastern Iowa Community Colleges
Visiting Artists
Clinton Community College (7 p.m. both)
CCC Maquoketa Center(7 p.m. both)
Muscatine Community College
Scott Community College
Eastern Iowa Community Colleges annually cooperates with Quad City Arts to bring world-renowned artists to eastern Iowa through the Visiting Artist Series.
This is the 38th year that artists will come to the Quad Cities through the program, with six of them appearing at Clinton, Muscatine or Scott Community College. Two performances will also be held in Maquoketa in cooperation with Clinton Community College.
The performances are free of charge, held in informal settings and open to the public.
The Visiting Artists are selected based on the quality of their work and the ability to interact with audiences of diverse backgrounds and ages.
Imagine the sound of a Brazilian Carnaval in the Appalachian Mountains. A sound where
exotic percussion instruments rumble beneath blues drenched vocals, telecaster twangs,
accordion acrobatics, and folksy fiddle tunes. Now, imagine these sounds in the hands
of some of NYC's finest young improvisers as they light up club and festival stages
Through the unorthodox blend of Afro-Brazilian Percussion and American Roots Music, Matuto has created an organic, animated new sound. Clay Ross has provided educational workshops for professional musicians, amateurs, and music lovers in a wide variety of contexts. His unique cultural experiences, understanding of Brazilian rhythms, and his deeply rooted foundation in jazz and American folk music, make his workshops extremely unique, entertaining, and full of insight.
Meg Okura & Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble
Composer, erhu player and premiere jazz violinist Meg Okura leads a group of virtuosi,
Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble, inventing and defining "world chamber jazz" today.
Hailed by The New York Times as "vibrant" and "sophisticated," the ensemble is not
just pretty faces, but rather "...mixes a classically trained mastery of strings,
piano and drums with quick-witted compositional twist performed with high energy"
(Down Beat Magazine).
Their self-titled debut album was one of the finalists of the 2006 "Best Album" in the Independent Musicians Awards. Today, the album is still the No. 1 Top-Seller in the "Chamber Jazz" category on CDBaby, and received the Editor's Choice in "Jazz-World Fusion" category.
Destino is made up of three handsome young men and one stunning young woman who love
making beautiful music together. They have created something completely different,
something that's never been done before: a group consisting of two very different
voices and two very different instrumentalists, all able to stand on their own, but
together forming a truly talented and unique troupe. Destino's performances constantly
inspire standing ovations.
Individually and together, these four musicians have had some amazing performance experiences. They have been showcased on the NBC and ABC networks, they have also appeared on Entertainment Tonight, Canada AM, and E-talk. Some of the venues they've had the privilege of performing in include Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Walt Disney World and St. Peter's Basilica.
Combining stunning acrobatics, striking visual effects, physical comedy and inventive
choreography, Galumpha brings to life a world of imagination, beauty, muscle and merriment.
The three performers create a sensory feast of images ranging from the ridiculous
to the sublime, drawn together into a seamless whole, consistently bringing audiences
to their feet.
Galumpha is a triumphant mix of art and entertainment, offering world-class, award winning choreography (Edinburgh Festival Critics, Choice Award, Moers International Comedy Arts Prize) that is equally at home on the concert stage, at a comedy club or at an outdoor festival. Formed in 2002 by Andy Horowitz and Greg O'Brien, Galumpha delivers a fast-paced, athletic brand of movement, distinctive for its ingenuity.
Highlights include "Velcro" as seen on The Late Show with David Letterman and Crook and Chase (TNN) and "Clackers," seen on MTV, Showtime, A & E, Just for Laughs in Montreal, and by over one billion television viewers around the globe. Other pieces feature experiments in human architecture set to music by Rachmaninov, Mahler and the virtuoso Czech band Jablkon, making for an exceptionally entertaining program.
Jen Chapin Trio
Praised as "…soulfully poetic urban folk music", Jen Chapin's unique blend of funky
folk and earthy jazz has earned her kudos from NPR, People Magazine, The Today Show,
JazzzTimes, among many other major media outlets.
She has appeared on Late Nite with Conan O'Brien, has been honored by the USA Songwriting Competition, appeared on stage with Bruce Springsteen and opened for the likes of the Bruce Hornsby and the Neville Brothers. Chapin's role as activist, educator and mother hold equal importance to her musical accomplishments.
Her life-long involvement in WHY, an organization that supports innovative, community-based solutions to hunger and poverty, continues to have an urgent relevancy to today's headlines. She holds a BA in International Relations and has traveled and studied extensively in Mexico and Zimbabwe. In addition to a demanding concert tour schedule, Chapin presents workshops and lectures on music, lyric-writing and activism to college, community and church groups.

On this episode, Deadline Detroit's Jeff Wattrick and former State Rep. Rocky Raczkowski join us to discuss the firestorm surrounding WJR's Frank Beckmann. Some are calling for the U of M to fire him as the voice of Wolverine Football after the conservative talk show defended PGA Golfer Sergio Garcia's fried chicken comment about Tiger Woods. They also discuss the growing climate of political correctness across the country.
Next, Karen Dumas talks about the benefits of a new proposal to require new City of Detroit employees to live inside the city limits for a period of 7 years. Rocky Raczkowski sticks around for that conversation, because when he was in the State House in 1999, he helped repeal residency requirements.
Plus, Les Gold from the hit series "Hardcore Pawn" offers his thoughts about fixing Detroit and his experiences running one of the most well known businesses in the world. He also has a new book coming out called "For What It's Worth."
Les is signing his new book at his store, American Jewelry and Loan on June 22nd beginning at 5 p.m.
Tickets are $35 per person and include:-Exclusive access to meet-and-greet event with Les, Seth, and Ashley-Personalized copy of the book (personalized copies are NOT available anywhere before this date) -$20 in-store credit at American Jewelry and Loan-Discounts on Hardcore Pawn Gear

Yorvit Torrealba joined the list of unlikely playoff heroes with his three-run homer Sunday night.

New Orleans, LA -- The violent crime that plaques the New Orleans metro area has City Council member, James Gray worried about saving the younger generation.
It's just wrong how these young kids, just killing people for no reason," says attendee, Bobby Morgan.
"I've coached kids for 35 years in track and field generally poor inner city kids and none of my kids to date have been killed or none of them are in jail," says New Orleans City Council Member, James Gray.
He's on a mission to save them.
Today, the councilman invited more than 150 men and young boys to Joe W. Brown park for the first men's day.
The morning was spent with planning meetings and sports clinics designed to connect coaches, teachers, interested parents and community members with opportunities to mentor young people in a variety of sports and other activities.
Joe W. Brown Park has been rebuilt with an indoor heated pool, a gym designed for basketball and classrooms for music, debate, chess and more.
Gray invited Karate Grand Master Eric O' Neal to share the basics of martial arts with the children.
"Young boys look for excitement, now you can give them excitement in competition on the football field," says O'Neal. "If you don't give it to them there they're going to go find it on the streets."
Gray wants to expand across the metro area with football baseball and other sports.
"He's already successfully convinced me to have a program here at Joe Brown Park," says O'Neal.
"We even had a volunteer today that's going to run a chess team, but we're starting right now doing things with the kids," says Gray. "Not just through the summer it's going to be a forever thing."
New Orleans Saints Wide Receiver, Joe Morgan also took part in Men's day.
He hosted a football clinic and talked about staying in school and becoming an NFL athlete.
Daniele Watts said she was detained by police on Thursday because they thought she was a prostitute.

It just so happens I actually have a ton of chicken wire sitting in my garage. I have made quite a bit with it, some of which I share below, but I really wasn't sure what to do with the rest. Fueled by my desire to not throw it out, I found some pretty snazzy ways to use chicken wire and thought I would share them with you
10 Creative Uses for Chicken Wire
1. Chicken Wire Picture Frame: This is a very easy DIY that I have given as gifts and have several hanging on my wall. All you have to do is grab an old picture frame and staple the wire right on. Enjoy!
2. Pest Protector: Keep rabbits and/or other random creatures out of your garden by surrounding it in chicken wire. It is inexpensive and super easy to create. You can also make small domes out of it to cover your potted plants.
3. DIY Window Command Center: Grab an old window (possibly from a previous craft project) and cover it with chicken wire. You can then hang pictures, notes or whatever you'd like. It's easy and frugal!
4. Glass Replacement: Replace the glass on your china cabinet with chicken wire! Yep, I'm serious. If you've been wanting to change up the look of your home, chicken wire could be a great frugal alternative for you. It will certainly give a rustic, farm look which is all the rage on Pinterest, you know.
5. Basket/Tray Lining: If you have an old basket or tray that you're thinking about tossing out, replace the bottom with chicken wire. Again, it's a rustic look that really brings character. I don't have a tray that's falling a part but I'm seriously considering busting up my good one just to put the wire on the bottom!
6. Make Your Own Chicken Wire Basket: Well, this is flat out adorable. Use an old lampshade to create a funky chicken wire basket. I really think this one is cool too, the uses for chicken wire are endless!
7. Chicken Wire Mason Jars: Scroll down a bit on that link and you'll see three jars using chicken wire for the cover. You can then use those to place flowers or other things and create a one of a kind centerpiece.
8. Chicken Wire Wall: It's a chicken wire wall. Chicken. Wire. Wall. Seriously. Click the link and check it out. AMAZING. I'm going to work up the nerve to pull this off one day...
9. Mason Jar Decor: A bit different than the earlier tip, wrap the chicken wire around on the outside to create a funky decoration that is perfect for events!
10. Make a Chicken Coop: Duh. :)
If you have some creative uses for chicken wire, feel free to share them! I love to repurpose things and make 'em funky!

Despite Setbacks, al-Shabab Still a Potent Threat | Harun Maruf and Dan Joseph
A year ago, Somalia's government and African Union troops were on the move against al-Shabab, taking over town after town. The al-Qaida-linked militants were in clear retreat, and violent in-fighting among top leaders was shaking the group.
Since then, the tables have turned and al-Shabab appears resurgent with renewed attacks inside and outside Somalia, most notably the assault on an upscale Kenyan shopping mall in September that killed more than 60 civilians.
Analysts say the Islamist militant group should never be underestimated.

A north suburban man has been charged with a felony count of theft for scamming nearly $17,000 from a person who paid for an RV he advertised on eBay but never provided to the buyer.
Randy Looke is the owner of Sound & Video Consultants, 20866 Rt. 12 in Deer Park, according to the Lake County Sheriff's office. Since 2011 he had been placing advertisements on eBay for a 1997 Forest River Reflection Diesel pusher 38-foot motorhome RV, a release from the sheriff's office said. Looke listed the advertisement under the company name ins.auto.auctions and his name was Andy Lo.
A prospective buyer who lives in Texas won the high bid for $16,700 to purchase the motorhome and sent Looke a check, the sheriff's office said. He never received anything and Looke continued to give him the runaround.
Looke, 44, of the 500 Block of Peach Tree Lane in Lake Zurich was arrested on Wednesday and charged with a Class 2 felony count of theft, the release said.
Looke's bond was set at $10,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on April 18 at 9 a.m.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division is seeking information from anyone who may have purchased anything from Looke, AKA Lo, or through the company ins.auto.auctions. Anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Looke's can contact detectives at (847) 377-4152.
