Meet the women who can handle anything
Jackie Norris
Heather Zichal
Plain English job description: She's on a mission to save our planet. How she first met the President: "I ran into him in the basement of the Senate Building; he was lost and asked for directions." How she does it all: "You have to prioritize your family and friends. Your job may come and go, but they won't." Her stress buster: "I'm all for combining activities, like hanging out with friends while getting pedicures. You have to take time for your toes."
Melody Barnes
Director of the Domestic Policy Council
Plain English job description: She works with the President on his domestic goals, like health care and education. How she does it all: "If you make your life about what you think is important, and not what [others] think, it's easy to determine how to use your time." Her motto: "'What would you do if you knew you could not fail?' When I've tried to live my life by those words, really exciting and wonderful things have happened."
Ellen Moran
White House Communications Director
Plain English job description: She gets out the White House message and engages the public in supporting it. How she met the President: "I actually didn't meet him until I interviewed for this job. We spent 45 minutes together, one-on-one." Her motto: "I love what Margaret Mead once said: 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.' I really think those are words to live by."
Cassandra Butts
Deputy White House Counsel
Plain English job description: She keeps special interest groups from having too much power. How she met the President: "At law school. I had rare recordings of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, which I loaned to him in exchange for his constitutional law book. I still have it. I've thought, What if I put this on eBay?" What she'll do for you: "I will help President Obama work to get women equal pay for equal work." How she does it all: "I don't take the BlackBerry into the bedroom."
Mona Sutphen
Plain English job description: She makes sure that the President's policies are carried out. Why she took the job: "I was always complaining that there weren't enough good people going into public service, so I figured I had to get behind someone I found so compelling." How she does it all: "Organize the little things, like laying your clothes out the night before." Her motto: "'Don't be a jerk.' There are jerks all over Washington. Life is short; being a jerk is just unnecessary."
Susan Rice
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
Plain English job description: She helps manage the United States' relationships with foreign nations and will work on key issues like terrorism, climate change and genocide. Her nickname in high school: Spo; short for "Sporting." She was a star point guard on her basketball team. How she gets the job done: "As I often say, 'I plead guilty as charged to wanting to move and get things done and occasionally being impatient.'" Her stress buster: "I exercise and spend quality time with my children."

Maules Creek Coal Project is located in the heart of the Gunnedah Basin and is within close proximity of critical infrastructure. It is approximately 18km north-east of Boggabri and only 16km from the main railway line servicing the coal terminals at the Port of Newcastle, which is 360km south-east of the project.
Maules Creek Coal Joint Venture.
Tenements: CL 375 and (A) 346
The Maules Creek Project was fully approved in July 2013.
It is one of the last major undeveloped and significant multi-seam coal deposits in New South Wales and is expected to sustain a potential project life in excess of 30 years. It is approved to extract up to 13 Mt of coal per annum and rail 12.4 Mt of product from the site in any calendar year.
First coal sales are expected to occur in the first quarter of calendar 2015.
Whitehaven's most recent production statistics can be found in our Quarterly Reports released to the Australian Securities Exchange. You can find the most recent Quarterly Report here.
The Maules Creek Project is considered to be one of only a few remaining Tier 1 undeveloped coal assets in Australia. It is also one of the largest coal deposits in Australia with 362Mt of recoverable reserves.

PLAYERS: C.J. Spiller, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chan Gailey, Fred Jackson
TEAMS: Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts
TEAMS: Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts
CJ Spiller currently boasts 723 rushing yards and 336 receiving yards in the first 10 games of the NFL season, and matches up this week with the weak Indianapolis Colts' defense. So far, Spiller has put up 124 fantasy points in ESPN.com leagues, which is 6th among all running backs. For a player that has had a couple of injuries this season, those are pretty darn good numbers. So, let's take a look at what he can do against the Colts this Sunday! The Indianapolis Colts' rush defense is 22nd in the NFL, giving up 119.8 yards per game. Also, Indianapolis' passing defense is ranked 20th giving up 240.3 yards per game. Now by watching Spiller this season, we have figured out if he isn't getting it going on the ground, he can definitely go to the receiving game and put up some impressive stats that way. This aspect of Spiller should cause havoc for the lowly Colts' defense.Bills' quart

30 Days of Wincest —-> Day 03: Favorite Season 1 Moment
No matter how many times I rewatch S1, this moment stands out to me. it's one of the first times I can really remember this sentiment coming across so strong — before Cold Oak and before Dean's deal and all that has transpired since. It's not exactly like Faith, where Sam is desperately trying to find a way to save Dean; this feels more powerful to me because there isn't a lot of fanfare, it's not a huge explanation or declaration. It's just two little words and that look on Dean's face, and it still strikes me now just as much as it did the first time I watched it.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Hi there - I can understand your perspective, but this guy's wife supports him. I can only assume that at some point, if he were capable of getting outside, she would be the first one to encourage him.
My mother is physically disabled, and struggles with a lot of things. Her choices are to lay in bed or sit in a chair (when she is physically able to). Believe me - being trapped inside your home might be fun for the first week - maybe three. But nobody gets fulfillment or would prefer to stay inside their home, separated from all RL social interaction if they could choose otherwise.
For people with disabilities, I think WoW can be a great thing. When possible, I do think efforts should be made to not be so dependent on it - but when it's that or starting at a TV screen, I'd rather someone do something that makes them think, interact, and socialize.

12 Tips to Extend Your Life Span
Making several simple improvements to your life will not only have you blowing out a few extra candles, it can also help you feel — and stay — younger longer.
The average life expectancy for Americans is now 77.7 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet research suggests that making several simple improvements to your life will not only have you blowing out a few extra candles on your birthday cakes, it can also help you feel — and stay — younger longer.
1. Eat Fish Twice a Week
A study published earlier this year by Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., of the Harvard School of Public Health, found that the absence of omega-3 fatty acids in Americans' diets is responsible annually for up to 96,000 preventable deaths. Other studies have shown the deficiency may even contribute to the rise in cancer and diabetes. The nutrient also benefits your heart, your brain, and your skin. Wild salmon, herring, and anchovies are the best sources of omega-3s, but you should also pop a 1,000-milligram fish oil capsule daily. For more instant age erasers, check out the latest science on staying young.

- 12 surprising tips you'll live to be 100
- 50 places to see before you die
- 30 things you must do before you're 30
2. Build a Healthier Heart
If you want to stay young, make your heart stronger. With the right kind of total-body conditioning, you can increase your heart's stroke volume and your body's oxygen uptake. This allows your heart to pump blood more slowly and efficiently. "The average human life span is about 3 billion heartbeats," says Michael Lauer, M.D., of the National Heart Blood and Lung Institute. "If you can lower your heart rate, you can increase your life expectancy."
3. Buy a Farm and Make Babies
Using data from World War I draft registration records, researchers from the University of Chicago's Center on Aging found that having more than three children increases a man's chances of living to 100 by nearly 300 percent. Farmers, it turns out, are also more than twice as likely to become centenarians than their city-dwelling peers.
4. Remember that a Little Goes a Long Way
You're 97 percent more likely to reach age 85 if you keep your daily alcohol consumption to fewer than three drinks a day, according to a study of 6,000 patients in the Journal of the American Medical Association . Translation: Imbibe wisely. Shake it up with our Jimmy the Bartender iPhone app, which will help you mix dozens of drinks, find great watering holes near you, and even hone your pickup skills.
5. Lift Weights
Increased muscle mass speeds up metabolism, strengthens bones, and boosts heart health. In 2007, scientists at the Buck Institute for Age Research even discovered that resistance training causes cellular-level changes in muscle, pushing genes back to a younger level of function. Proving it's never too late to start, the subjects were senior citizens. But why wait?
6. Buy a Dog
Pet ownership can ward off depression, speed recovery from surgery, and even reduce the amount of time you spend with doctors in the first place, according to a range of studies. Elderly dog owners are even more likely to be slimmer than their dogless peers, according to a study at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.
7. Take Up Golfing
The death rate for golfers is 40 percent lower than that of their peers, according to a study in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports . The study authors, who credit this life-extending effect to the fact that golfers are outside for hours at a time, walk about 4 miles, and are engaged in a stress-reducing social activity, say this stat corresponds to a 5-year increase in life expectancy. Use these 20 exercises to lower your score on the golf course.
8. Floss, Floss, Floss
Inflamed, bloody gums can signify bodywide wellness issues. Not only do unhealthy mouths unleash bacteria into the bloodstream, where the bugs can travel to vital organs, but people with gum disease also have worse mental functioning than those whose gums are healthy, according to a U.K. study of more than 6,500 adults.
9. Ask For a Doggy Bag
A calorie-restriction diet reviewed in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that cutting between an eighth and a fourth of calories lowered metabolism and insulin levels, and also appeared to limit damage to cellular DNA — all markers for the harmful effects of age. You're also 84 percent more likely to be overweight if you eat quickly, according to research in the British Medical Journal . Some simple solutions: Chew your food longer, leave 20 percent of your meals behind, and steer clear of the 30 worst foods in America.
10. Lean on Your Buddies
Having guy time on a regular basis could decrease your risk for coronary heart disease, according to a review coauthored by James Blumenthal, Ph.D., a professor of medical psychology at Duke University. Blumenthal notes that low social support can almost double your susceptibility to the illness. "I would put guys' night into the context of social support or having people to confide in," says Blumenthal. "The health benefits could be due to the buffering effect of social support on cardiovascular stress responses."
11. Hit the Hay
Between the ages of 20 and 60, a man's level of human growth hormone — a key factor in maintaining overall vitality — drops 80 percent. Our best opportunity to replenish it every day is during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. "The more slow-wave sleep you get, the more growth hormone is secreted — and that may help to keep your body young," says David Kuhlmann, M.D., medical director of sleep medicine at Bothwell Regional Health Center in Sedalia, Missouri.
12. Take a YouTube Timeout
You can counteract stress — and roll back psychological aging — with laughter. Even the anticipation of a good laugh decreases the stress chemicals cortisol and epinephrine by 39 and 70 percent, respectively, say researchers at Loma Linda University. Laughter is also great for the heart. When participants in a University of Maryland study watched stressful film clips, they experienced vasoconstriction — a narrowing of the blood vessels — while the blood vessels of those watching funny films expanded by 22 percent. Learn 50 more little changes that will add years to your life, and you'll be laughing for decades to come.

Too labor intensive for the bland results. The veal was very tender, but this was the least impressive dinner I've made in weeks.
Veal-and-Artichoke Stew with Avgolemono
Becky Luigart-Stayner; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Meat cooked with artichokes takes on a delicious sweetness that contrasts with the tart lemon juice. This dish is usually served on its own, but it's equally delicious with rice, orzo, or egg noodles mixed into the sunny sauce.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 4 ounces meat, 2 artichoke halves, 1/4 cup sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons dill)

Remove the bottom leaves and tough outer leaves, and trim about 2 inches from the top of the artichoke. Cut artichoke in half vertically. Remove fuzzy thistle from bottom with a spoon. Trim any remaining leaves and dark green layer from base. Rub edges with a lemon half; place the artichoke halves in lemon water. Repeat procedure with remaining artichokes.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and add veal, browning on all sides. Add onion, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the wine and 1 can of broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
- Drain the artichoke halves. Add artichoke halves, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup dill, 1 can of broth, salt, and pepper to pan; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the artichokes are tender. Remove veal and artichoke halves with a slotted spoon. Keep warm.

Activists are pointing this out to constituents and voters in their districts and just like you and I, these voters support medical cannabis and would like to see Wisconsin enact this type of legislation. Signature pages and lobbying efforts are underway and we all need your help in the fields, offices and behind the Du er i stand tilrulle ut av sengen , rusle ned trappa , og oppdage selv spille pa enonline casino roulette bord inne tre minutter a vakne opp . scenes.

SEBASTIAN -- Earlier this month, the Sebastian City Council approved a special residential zoning exemption that could allow for future affordable housing for seniors in the city.
During the Nov. 13 meeting, the council unanimously voted to raise the development density of a 7.4-acre property just north of the Publix shopping center at U.S. 1 and Barber Street in Sebastian. The property was zoned as commercial general with an allowable eight units per acre, but the council's action bumped up the density level to 12 units per acre.
The applicant, Wayne Sinclair, spoke to the council and the audience about his project, describing it as an affordable housing project for seniors that goes above and beyond the normal housing requirements.
Mr. Sinclair said the project is expected to cost $18.2 million and will require 39 employees to run full time. The project, Avery Way Apartments, is designed to be a three-story apartment complex with community rooms for a library and computers, as well as classes available on computer use and family genealogy tracing.
Other optional services offered would include laundry, transportation, medication reminders and housekeeping, Mr. Sinclair said.
Councilwoman Andrea Coy said she was glad to see a project like this coming to Sebastian, as there are not enough affordable housing for seniors in the community.
Some members of the public said it sounded like an assisted living facility, but Mr. Sinclair said the apartment community did not meet the mandate requirements of an assisted living complex, but it would have some of the optional services that an assisted living place would traditionally offer its residents.
During the meeting, all the council voted on was to approve the special exemption for the use of the property. Mr. Sinclair will be presenting further details of the construction and use to the planning and zoning board before coming back before Sebastian City Council for further permissions, said Joe Griffin, city airport director and interim city manager beginning Dec. 12.

Organize My Small Kitchen On a Budget
Reader Resolutions 2013
Name: Sonia
City: Toronto
Resolution: Organize My Small Kitchen On a Budget.
Here's what Sonia says about her goal...
My resolution: I love cooking for my friends at almost every opportunity, but I get overwhelmed by how small the kitchen is and how easy it is for everything to get unorganized quickly. The freezer has no shelves, the in-laws always send over enough cookies and chocolate to last the rest of the year, and the pantry has corners that I can't reach to store things. We've reduced to the essentials, but it's still too crowded. First resolution is to develop a new system.
Thanks, Sonia! Best of luck to you! Readers, do you have any advice or suggestions for her?

Consider storing cookies in tubes such as Pringles cans, etc.-they can be stacked high in the freezer. Are Lazy Susan's something you've tried before in the pantry?
I would say if you have a back splash area if possible installing some shelves or baskets to put essentials that you use on a regular basis like olive oil, salt and pepper ect. Container Store sells things to put in your shelves to help keep them more organized and fit more things. As far as storing things that will last all year. Maybe get a plastic storage container and keep them in another room and replenish as needed. Good Luck!!
Sonia - I put a cabinet shelf in my freezer (which you can pick up at target, container store) like this: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/kitchen/cabinetOrganizers/upperCabinets?productId=10000697&N=185 and it helps me from having to dig around in there every time I'm looking for something. give it a shot!
I agree with rebecca_f. Those cabinet shelves work wonders!
I have shelves in my freezer, but I still use the occasional cardboard box to store smaller items in there. If you can pop for a nice wire rack, great, but it really doesn't have to be that fancy. Handy for searching while keeping the door closed too: pull out the box, shuffle thru it, stick the entire thing back in.
I have a small kitchen, and I've solved lots of my storage dilemmas by browsing Ikea catalogs and website for ideas. I hang my measuring cups, spoons, and funnels (etc.) on a towel-bar like thing with hooks mounted under my upper cabinets. My knives are on a magnetic strip. My pot lids are on a rack mounted to the side of the end cupboard.
I also do not have some kitchen items due to space, but instead, cultivate relationships with friends and neighbors and borrow things I need occasionally. I borrow springform pans, canners, and crockpots, for example.
I just got those to utilize my cupboard space better. Those are need, they slide right on to the self and are very solid.
Sorry the page is in German, couldn't find a good picture elsewhere.
I've used a combination of wire shelves and baskets I've picked up at garage sales/thrift stores, cardboard boxes, old oatmeal tubs, and just about anything I can get my hands on to organize my freezer and fridge. I'd start by figuring out an organizational system you like using boxes you have on hand, then you can spring for fancy baskets/containers later if you want to.
I blogged about my fridge re-org just this past week! http://1500sqft.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/we-had-broccoli/
If your cabinets aren't custom, there's often space, concealed by trim, between the cabinets and the walls. If you pop the trim you may be able to store baking sheets or cutting boards. Also, when I buy containers, I make sure they all have the same size lids and that they nest when empty and stack when in use.
The Container Store!! It's worth it.
When I organized my apartment kitchen last summer, I found it really helpful to transfer all my dry goods and so forth into mason jars and those pop-and-lock OXO containers - it cut down on the visual clutter, and instantly made me feel more organized and less panicky when I opened the pantry door. My apartment has a very tall and deep bizarre pantry, and I have found pull-out bins and shelves to be really helpful in managing that area, as well.
I also finally started doing that freezer trick that the type of people who store all of their dry goods in mason jars do in magazines - you know, where you freeze soups and sauces in flat plastic storage bags, and then stack them in the freezer? It really helps make the freezer less intimidating. And I feel like my freezer could be photographed for Real Simple!
I transfer all of my freezer stuff (fruits, vegetables, etc.) into square ziploc containers. That way, everything stacks and I can easily see what it is. No more digging!
This is by far the best deal I've found:
Sounds like you've got some great ideas already, but I thought I'd mention that the Modular Mate sale from Tupperware has just been extended to Jan 25th--my Modular Mates have helped my pantry like nothing else, because they work together so well, and they keep my pantry staples fresher than anything else I've tried. (I'm a Tupperware fan.) Plus, as cute as keeping stuff in glass jars is, the idea of one of those jars falling and breaking (earthquake, toddler, butter fingers, whatever) scares the bejeebers out of me. I hate broken glass.
Organizing a small kitchen might seem easy but it can be a challenge.
I think breaking up the organization into tiny tasks can be helpful.
I broken up tasks into 31 Minutes..and that worked for me.
31 days - 31 Minutes

A pair of 8-month-old conjoined twin girls underwent separation surgery yesterday at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and miraculously -- the procedure was a success!
Allison and Amelia Tucker were born attached at the chest, and they shared a liver, diaphragm, and pericardium. Their mother, Shellie Tucker, delivered them via c-section at CHOP when she was 35 weeks along. And as expected, she and her husband were scared about what would happen to their precious babies, but they knew separation surgery was a must -- and they started planning it months before it happened yesterday.
And they are certainly celebrating and breathing a huge sigh of relief this morning, because the lead surgeon on the girls' case, Holly Hedrick, said she expects that "the girls will be able to live full, healthy, and independent lives."
Take a look at this video clip to hear a little more about Allison and Amelia's amazing surgery.
Can you even begin to imagine how happy and thankful their parents are today? Their strength and prayers definitely pulled them through during what had to be the most difficult day in their lives. As parents, all we truly want is for our kids to grow up happy and healthy, and thanks to the amazing surgeons at CHOP, Shellie and her husband will be granted the gift of raising these beautiful twins as little individuals.
What words of encouragement would you offer these brave parents?
Image via 6ABC.com
The use of the acronym CHOP in an article that references a C-section and separation of conjoined twins makes me cringe a little.
And to Angela: Spoken like someone who's never known the heartache that can be involved in wanting a child. May you never be familiar with that pain.
Oh Angela if only those tests were 100% accurate and never had false positives or negatives. Just because you feel it wrong to bring a child with a disability into the world does not mean that everyo noe does. I have two beautiful nieces who are special needs and they are a huge asset to our family. Yes it is difficult at times to take care of them, but they are worth it. And for the record one is downs that was NOT picked up during the ultrasound or blood testing etc. The other one is cerebral pulsy which happens during birth.
I hope these girls are happy and healthy for years to come.
Some people just don't believe in killing their children.
angela, YOU are the cruel person. children are blessings to a family that is willing and loving and supportive. to say that a child shouldn't live because they aren't the norm is cruel. if the parents (who i am sure knew that they were having conjoined twins) are willing to raise the girls together or have the two seperated, who is anyone to judge them? there is a time and reason for abortion, but as birth-control and to stop a life that isn't what society considers normal is not okay. if it was, i wouldn't have my amazing dd brother.
I wish them all the best!! :)

Vivlamore reporting from Philips Arena. Here is my updated game story, with quotes, for those who would like to comment.
No letdown, only a smackdown.
The Hawks erased any concern they would fall to an inferior opponent minutes into a 116-84 utter dismantling of the Pistons at Philips Arena Wednesday night. They set season-highs for points in a quarter (39) and points in a half (72) in building an early lead the Pistons had no hope of overcoming.
The Hawks (37-25) were guarding against a letdown similar to the one suffered against the Raptors on Sunday, a loss they rebounded from the following night in Toronto. They led by 10 points with 7:33 remaining in the first quarter, by 20 with 11:44 left in the second quarter and by 30 with 4:42 left in the first half.
"That's two games in a row we came out with a lot of energy," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "After a poor start against Toronto as far as our energy was concerned, we came out tonight and we got off to a good start really getting up and down the floor, moving the ball well and once we started going to the bench they energy was there as well."
The Hawks kept pace with the Celtics (37-26), Friday night's opponent, who defeated the Magic Wednesday. On the line over the final four games is the right to host a first-round playoff series. The Hawks, currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, will try to avenge two earlier season losses to the Celtics, who currently would be their first-round playoff opponent.
"I'm not sure what happened Sunday, but we are ahead now," Joe Johnson said. "We control our own destiny. We just have to win out and everything else will take care of itself. Every game from here on out is important. We knew we let one get away our last home game so we wanted to come out and really set the tone."
With four home games remaining in the regular season, the Hawks are searching for consistency and momentum going into the postseason.
The Hawks have won two consecutive and six of their past eight. They won the season series with the Pistons, 3-1, and ran their home winning streak against them to eight games.
The Hawks had six players in double-figures scoring, led by Tracy McGrady with a season-high 17 points. The others were Ivan Johnson (16), Joe Johnson (13), Josh Smith (12), Marvin Williams (10) and Willie Green (10). The team also recorded a season-high 72 bench points.
"With the guys we have coming off the bench, some of them could be starters on other teams, we've got veteran guys that know how to play and we provide great energy on both ends," McGrady said.
The Pistons (23-39) lost for the sixth time in eight games. They were led by Greg Monroe with 17 points. They closed the game on an 11-2 run, as they Hawks went on a stretch of 4:21 without scoring, and still lost by 32 points. They prevented the Hawks from surpassing their largest margin of victory of the season (36 points versus the Nets on Dec. 27).
"It was very important considering these last few ball games we are still playing for something," Joe Johnson said of the fast start. "The starters came out and set the tone and the bench came in and maintained and went a little higher. That meant a lot. That means everybody was very focused and aware of what we need to accomplish."
Mission accomplished on this night.

Slimjr . . stop your Marvin bias and just admit that Marvin can defend Pierce probably better than anyone on the team. Marvin has always been a good on the ball defender, especially against guys who aren't superfreaks athletically.
Marvin isn't going to lock down Pierce by any stretch of the imagination, but he is the best option to defend them, with JJ being the next best option.

I think the Hawks GM has done a hell of alot better than the Celtics GM the past 3 or so seasons! Bringing in Jamal Crawford was a great move. So was bringing in Mcgrady, Pargo, VladRad and Green.
On the other side, the Celtics traded Perkins for pretty much nothing, messed up by counting on Shaq, and then brought in Wilcox, who has such a low basketball IQ it brought down the whole team when he was on the court!
I kinda hate that its gonna be my 2 favorite teams facing off in the 1st round. If only the Hawks could play the Magic instead.

Now I do agree if Josh plays in that "zone" where he gets in the post, attacks, and passes out on occasion, the Hawks look as good as any team on the planet.
He just doesn't stay in that zone very often.
And I've always wanted us to try the Marvin-Theo Ratliff experiment. Ratliff was built like Marvin; thin, long arms, maybe an inch or two taller.
Stick Marvin in the low post, especially in the middle of a zone, and tell him to attack the ball and shooter when it comes in the lane. He's quicker than most C's would be in responding to a pass off the attack also.
I know he's been a failure as a #2 pick, and a 40 mill. contract. But I've often wondered if Marvin could be Theo. Then at least your getting an athletic shot blocker in the middle. And if he added a little bulk, he wouldn't get pushed around by the bigger guys that bad. The NBA is short on Centers right now, so there's not that many bigger guys to push him around really.
I would try Marvin as backup C during training camp, just to see what he could do.
April 19th, 2012
1:07 pm
Najeh – I guess I'm not as sold as you are on having ZaZa on the floor at crunch time. Maybe the Denver loss lingers a little to close.
If Ivan was a little more mature and careful with the ball, I would say our closing team should be Teague, JJ, Josh, TMac and Ivan. A big C could possibly push Ivan around, but not to many of them could. But Ivan can get careless with the ball a little to much sometimes, and on occasion makes poor decisions again just a little to much for my taste.
I do think TMac, Ivan, and Josh could rebound just fine.
I hate to see Marvin closing out games. Too many clanked wide open jumpers at clutch time for me throughout his career. Sigh

Our biggest mismatch against Boston. Doc vs LD
I think that alone may cost us the series.
And if you gave Doc the Hawks, and LD the Celtics, I still think Doc's team wins.
But here's hoping…. 4 straight trips to the Semi's would be nice in a win starved city.
Hawks postseason way better than the Falcons postseasons recently.

"I hate to see Marvin closing out games. Too many clanked wide open jumpers at clutch time for me throughout his career. Sigh"
Why are they shooting jump-shots in the first place? If Marvin doesn't close out the game, Pierce will win it himself. I just don't trust JJ's defense compared to Marvin's proven past. There is a simple solution to your dilemma. DONT PASS THE DANG BALL TO MARVIN ON THE PERIMETER!
April 19th, 2012
1:15 pm
"Our biggest mismatch against Boston. Doc vs LD"
This is the thread winner. I want to see if LD can make adjustments this post season. Last one was his first, so I'll give him a pass on being stubborn with CHI.
"Hawks postseason way better than the Falcons postseasons recently."
That's like saying one team doesn't suck as much, but they both suck in the end. One just makes it one step further into mediocrity.

Magic center Dwight Howard has called team owner Rich DeVos to tell him that he won't play for coach Stan Van Gundy anymore, WKMG in Orlando is reporting.
Howard missed his sixth straight game with a back injury Wednesday against the Celtics, and Van Gundy has already said that he is preparing for his big man to miss the rest of the season and the playoffs.
Howard is still upset that Van Gundy publicly said this month that Howard asked management to have him fired, sources told WKMG. According to the report, the 86-year-old DeVos took Howard's call in his suite at the Amway Center sometime during Friday's game against the Hawks.
Uncertainty has dogged the Magic for quite some time. Howard asked management for a trade in the preseason, but after months of speculation he signed a waiver of the opt-out clause in his contract, meaning that he would remain under contract to Orlando at least through next season.
Man it appears that marriage is over. Come on Sund, even if he doesnt want to be in ATL, atleast go after him. Seems to me he is pretty desperate now!

That's what Mr. know it all has not figured out. Marvin is not going to lock down Paul in the Playoffs man..His game is geared for the playoffs..He has switched his game into playoff mode this past week..Just nailing it! Marvin will get a taste of it this Friday more than likely…
So be it, if that's all they got…

Marvin can't post up 6′2" guards, how can he play the C position?
It's completely different to use Marvin as a stretch/offensive PF coming of the bench than to think he can be used at the C spot.
The C and PF are more different than people think. A center HAS to be a physical guy and Marvin is ZERO physical.
Marvin's limited attributes are:
- good FT shooter;
- good standstill shooter (not in crunch time);
- good positional defender (disciplined, moves his feet / laterally well);
- decent/good touch around the rim when he catches and does not need to put the rock on the floor.
- decent/good rebounder at the SF slot / passable rebounder as backup PF.
And that's it.
April 19th, 2012
2:43 pm
Shot blocking is an instinct. A lot of athletic players were/are never great shot blockers because they didn't have the instinct or timing — see Tyson Chandler and Blake Griffin. Marvin may have the body type of Theo Ratliff (I think this is debatable, but that's beside the point) but he has never consistently shown the shot blocking instincts to where he could fill such a role.

Ladies and gentlemen, I need some help.
The Insider has been invited to pose questions in three debates for governor this weekend – two Republican, one Democratic.
But the question well is dry. Yes, I've opened an old cask of interrogatories from 1990 that are slightly stale but still relevant – "Do you think a lottery would take advantage of the poor?" But fresh would be better.
So I'm soliciting three hours' worth of questions for Democratic and Republican candidates – individually or as a group. Use the commenting process below to submit them.
If you include your own, real name, I'll do my best to use it when I pose the question.
For instant updates, follow me on Twitter, or connect with me on Facebook.

Please ask a question about Sunday alcohol sales and get a clear answer. Too many candidates give a vague response on this issue with no real position. Make them pick a side.

Please ask them how they will protect Georgians from voter intimidation as it occurred in Statesboro in 2007 (threatening university students not to register to vote locally); how they will promote clean energy in Georgia; and how they will ensure proper funding of education at public K-12 and post-secondary institutions.

Q: As the Roman Catholic Church has openly published its stratagem for promoting illegal immigration to "take back" America from those, they teach their Spanish-speaking Hispanic followers, "stole it," our ancestors, mounting an explicit invasion for conquest tax-free (Viz. "The National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry," ISBN-10: 1555861997), just how stupid can we be to let them continue to effect this proven treason, particularly as the cited pamphlet is a de facto signed confession?

What I would really like to know is what are their plans to strengthen and diversify Georgia's economy? What do are their plans to attract business to Georgia and/or to build up businesses that are already here? I don't want to hear platitudes, I want to hear plans. The industries that we have, have been hit the hardest in this recession. Consequently, we don't have what it takes to pick up ourselves up by our bootstraps. We may not have the highest unemployment rate in the nation, but it is very high and Georgia promises to be one of the last places in the nation to see our unemployment rate go down because of our economic base. What are their plans to return Georgia to an economic power house?

Oddly enough, I actually emailed you a question for the GOP candidates earlier today, Jim (same topic mentioned by Banjo Bob at 6:21P, my contact info is in the email….)
"The Republican Party has long put itself out there as THE party of 'smaller government' and 'local control', yet on some very visible issues many in the Party fall back into 'nanny state' mode. If elected as Georgia's next Governor, would you sign a bill that gave city and county governments the ability to extend their already-legal package sales of alcohol to Sundays, via local referendum?"

In the New York Times this week, Adam Liptak's Sidebar column was entitled "Defendants Squeezed by Georgia's Tight Budget." The entire nation read about how the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council is poorly funded, understaffed, and inappropriately takes orders from prosecutors and judges. Is the GPDSC experiment a success? How would you improve Georgia's public defender system? What reforms would you undertake? Would you raise taxes if the GPDSC goes broke? Or would you increase filing fees to subsidize the GPDSC?

There are only two questions on which the governor can have significant impact and which also have significant long-term implications to the well-being of the average normal person:
1) What steps, exactly, do you plan to take to insure an ongoing supply of water for existing citizens and industry and to insure for future growth? Do not allow the candidates to slide by quoting feel-good platitudes or bashing their opponents.
2) What strategies do you plan to follow to insure transportation mobility and choice for all (but especially Atlanta metro) citizens of Georgia?

Debra, you can only be in the Metro Atlanta debates if you are currently or have been in the past under investigation for wrongdoings/unethical behaviours. . . . . . . you know that's the norm for career politicians these days.

It is 2112. The attempts to settle the water dispute through negotiation have failed. There is a drought, and no water to share with Alabama and Florida anyway. Metro Atlanta is about to run out of water. What do you do?
July 12th, 2010

chamblee 54, I believe the answer to your question is:

8:24 pm
Education, education, education!! As Governor, what policies would you encourage implementation of in our public schools to challenge students of all academic levels, so that our brightest students are not suffering in our classrooms, espcially at the elementary school level?
July 12th, 2010
8:24 pm
A few questions:
1) How would you best fund the need for increase water storage (reservoirs) in and around Atlanta & throughout Georgia?
2) Do you support declaring all incorporated cities in Georgia special taxing districts to enable cities, via citizen approved referendum, to enact MOST (municipal option sales tax)? If not, why?
3) Do you support the establishment of ELOST M&O, (educational sales tax for maintenance & operations)? The purpose of this tax would be lower/eliminate property tax for those citizens who do NOT have children in the local school system & if possible, lower the tax burden for operating school systems for all primary residence paying citizens of a respective school system? If not, why?
July 12th, 2010
8:26 pm
For those running for Governor and Attorney General who have said they would file suit against the federal government to get a ruling that the new health care law is unconstitutional, ask why Georgia should spend money by joining litigation that has already been filed and is being pursued by a number of other parties when Georgia's participation will not change the outcome.
For candidates that have vowed not to increase "taxes" and voted to increase "fees" in the last legislative session, have them explain the difference between a tax and a fee that is used for other than the expense for which it is charged (an example would be the newly increased lawsuit filing fees that go to the state's general fund, not the county courts operating expenses).
As others have said, don't let them slide with avoiding a specific answer to these or any other questions.
July 12th, 2010
8:27 pm
Average – you know your statements regarding BArnes are blatantly false – he was moving forward with commuter rail/mass transit, and he & Tom Murphy had floated 44 million in bonds for a water reservoir in Haralson County, which was intended to 1 of 19 surrounding Atlanta to drought proof it. Know what Sonny Perdue did with those funds? Not a dollar went to reservoir construction!!!!
July 12th, 2010
8:28 pm
Final question:
1) How do your propose getting commuter rail throughout the regions (Tallapoosa to Athens, Dalton to Lovejoy) installed?
July 12th, 2010
8:31 pm
Who do you consider authoritative on the economy, and what are they saying?
July 12th, 2010
8:33 pm
And for those that refer to the health care law as "Obamacare" ask them what, other than perceived political advantage, is gained by using a charged term. Or put differently, how does using such a charged term advance a rational debate about the wisdom or constitutionality of the law?
July 12th, 2010
8:41 pm
As Governor, what would you do to hasten the release of technologies which have been suppressed from the public for decades? Also what would you do to encourage these technologies being introduced into the Math and Science curriculum ASAP? Our students are so "dumbed down" due to the governments involvement and control, what could you do to bring LOCAL control back to our educational system?

Ask this question to all candidates. A. If you win the primary for your party next week,will you take a lie detector test (overseen by the AJC and without any legal representation) to answer three questions. 1.Have you every taken a bribe from any lobbyist, business, friends or family while holding any public office.2.Have you ever placed your personal gain above the best interest of the state of Georgia and it's citizens.3. Do you want to be Governor to better the state of Georgia or your own personnel monetary gain while in office. All answers will be published in the AJC and all major news outlets 30 days before November election.Let's see how many will laugh at the question or state they will comment on the question at a later time after legal consultation.

For Ms. Handel,
I voted for you for Commissioner, you lost…
I voted for you for Chairman, you resigned to run for another office…
I voted for you for Secretary of State, you resigned to run for Governor…
If elected how do I know you would stay put and actually finish a term? (ACTUAL QUESTION BELOW)
For Mrs. Handel,
You repeatedly resigned previous offices to run for other offices, how can we trust that Governor is not a stepping stone for another office? How can the voters of Georgia trust you to actually fulfill your constitutional duties if you are always looking for the next step?
July 12th, 2010

1. If you are for limited government, how can you justify NOT allowing municipalities and counties of this state to decide if they want Sunday alcohol sales?
2. Would you apply a means-test to the Hope scholarship?
3. What initiatives of Sonny Perdue would you roll back, or discontinue?

My name is Will Holland. I'm a native Atlantan – I grew up in north Buckhead and went to North Atlanta High School, an APS school. I'm a senior at Georgia State University, graduating in December, and will be entering a master's program for Mental Health Counseling next August and plan to later pursue a PhD in psychology. I carry a diagnosis of bipolar type II, my mother is diagnosed with major depressive disorder, my father died in 2007 after a brave seven year battle with Alzheimer's, and many of my friends are undergoing treatment for various mental illnesses that have significantly impacted their lives. I also work with the Emory School of Medicine, volunteering for something called the Grady Trauma Project, an endeavor to assess and help find medicine to help the traumatized, marginalized individuals suffering in metro Atlanta and across the country. If elected governor of Georgia, what will you do to address the rising necessity for mental health treatment as budget cuts are being made across the board, most especially in an area that is already neglected and underfunded? And what will you do to help stem the tide of the growing homeless population, the vast majority who suffer from mental illness, all across this great state?
Sincerely, a concerned citizen and voter,
Will Holland

I would like each candidate to state their position on interbasin transfer of river water in Georgia. The water supply in our state, in the next few years, will be a critical issue for the new Governor. We are already entangled in law suits with both Florida and Alabama. The same situation could occur between Georgia and South Carolina. This is a valid question for the candidates. Jim my real name is Bobby Anthony. I doubt you remember me but you once described me as having a mellifluous voice when I ran for president of the SGA at UGA in 1975. I'm sure you can recall J.

Ask them if they support any type of legalized gambling coming to Georgia, specifically Underground Atlanta.
Ask them why hundreds of millions of dollars in Metro Atlanta gas tax dollars have gone to subsidize Rural Georgia infrastructure improvements over the years. Would you support prioritizing transportation projects based on cost/benefit analysis and engineering principles instead of wealth distribution based on geographic areas?
July 13th, 2010

Do they support using public funds (such as the current hotel tax for the GA Dome) to support building a new stadium for the Falcons? With the current economy, I don't think Arthur Blank and millionaire football players need welfare. And please, don't let them BS on how it would revitalize the economy, blah, blah, blah. You could get much more bang for the buck spending money on convention facilities. Those large gatherings bring in as many people who will spend money and support local businesses. There are many more conventions than major sporting events up for grabs.
Oh, and I'll second Will Jones' question July 12/6:40. Seeing the WTF? on their faces would be hilarious.

How will the Governor hold the taxes at their current level?; cut wasteful spending?; how will he/she measure performance of programs intended to help the elderly, poor, homeless, disabled, veterans, considering that the current programs simlply blow thru money?

My question for you is: Will any of the candidates push to REQUIRE a law for the State of Georgia that states that ANYONE running for the Presidency of the U.S. must show PROOF that he or she is a Natural Citizen as required by the U.S in the U.S. Constitution? AND will they push to have that required for the 2012 Presidential Race?

1. A study commission is reviewing Georgia's tax structure. Would you support eliminating the gas tax and replacing it with an indexed Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) tax collected at the pump and that was available for all modes of transportation and not just roads and bridges?
2. Do you support a permanent, sustainable funding source for transit – rural, human services, urban and other – in Georgia? What should that permanent, sustainable source be?
3. What, specifically, are the services state government should fund and deliver? What programs, specifically, will you remove or reduce funding for in order that there will be enough funds for those necessary programs?
4. Will you propose and support a "not a cup of coffee" ethics bill for all members of your staff, state employees, members of the General Assembly and members of their staffs?
5. Many of you have proposed eliminating the state income tax. How, specifically, will you replace those lost funds? General comments about collecting "all" of the sales taxes or removing existing tax exemptions and similar vague replies should be shot down. Specifics. What services and products will you tax to replace the funds lost if the income tax is eliminated?
6. Will you support a bill that enhances the people's right to representation in government by revoking the current restrictive ballot access laws and replacing them with a simple fee structure linked to the salary of the position sought?
7. Debates such as this one are not truly debates, but rather dog and pony shows full of sound and fury signifying nothing. If you are the nominee, will you agree to a series of single topic, 60-minute, unmnoderated sit down debate sessions with all of the opponents who have qualified for your position?
8. What government services are properly funded and provided for by county and local governments and which are the responsiblity of the state?
July 14th, 2010

There has been a lot of talk of the importance of teachers in the state and funding that aspect of the state budget. How do the candidates rank the importance regarding funding of other state divisions that are equally important, such as DFACS, Child Support, etc.?

MIAMI – Eric Hinske pulled out the stops by getting a Mohawk haircut Tuesday. The Braves veteran got a close-cropped stripe of hair down the middle, about two inches wide, with the rest of his head shaved clean.
Anything to help the Braves break their slump.
Hinske said he last had a Mohawk cut in 2008 as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays — the American League champion Rays.
"I love it," second baseman Dan Uggla said, admiring Hinske's new 'do in the clubhouse Tuesday afternoon. "Best haircut on the team."
Uggla has worn a "fauxhawk" haircut all season, with a wide, thick strip down the middle and close-cropped on the sides. He's not ready to try a real Mohawk.
"My hair's too thick and coarse," Uggla said. "I can't pull that off. He's got the tats [tattoos] and he's huge. He's got that whole badass-look thing going on."
Chipper and the chopper
It's not often that you hear of an infielder losing a ground ball – chopped or otherwise — in the lights. It happened with two out the ninth inning Monday, when Florida's Emilio Bonifacio hit what the late broadcaster Skip Caray would call a "chopper to Chipper" — and the veteran third baseman lost it in the lights.
Chipper Jones didn't see the ball until it bounced next to him – and past him. Bonifacio was credited with a single off closer Craig Kimbrel, and the next batter, Omar Infante, hit a two-run walkoff homer for a 6-5 Marlins win and one of the toughest losses of the season for the Braves.
It was the second ninth-inning homer off Kimbrel in as many days, after he'd allowed only one homer previously during the entire season.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, who managed the Marlins for 3-1/2 seasons, said he's seen fielders lose flyballs and some chopped grounders in the lights at Sun Life Stadium, which is also home to the Miami Dolphins and University of Miami football teams. Gonzalez said the lights are "recalibrated" for football games, and that he didn't know if they were switched back for baseball.
"If you play baseball in a football stadium, I guess that happens from time to time," Jones said. "But it's just extremely bad timing. Pretty helpless feeling when the game should be over. I had no clue where the ball was until it bounced."
Gonzalez said Tuesday that he wasn't sure Jones would've had time to throw out Bonifacio even if he'd fielded the ball cleanly.
"It's a high chopper and he runs pretty darn good, let's not forget that," Gonzalez said.

1st inning 2nd and 3rd no outs and zero runs. 7th inning bases loaded, no outs and 0 runs. This is exactly why this team can't do squat in the post season. They can't even hit a sac fly.
September 20th, 2011

The reason these guys can't drive in runs with runners at second and third with none out is because they are too selfish to shorten up their swings and hit a grounder to the right side. Team baseball is a thing of the past because these sluggers have to pad their stats to get the big money.

That ball could have made direct contact with the soft spot on the dome of an infant child's whispy, bald head and there would have been no damage whatsoever.

"The reason these guys can't drive in runs with runners at second and third with none out is because they are too selfish to shorten up their swings…."
Thank you Bulldawg for summarizing in 1 paragraph the entire season of Braves baseball. It is a season of occasional 3 run homers interspersed into an unending stream of sissy, weak sister ground balls hit to the infielders by Uggla, Jones, Freeman and Heyward, et al. Any high school pitcher in the state can get them out by throwing to the outside corner, knowing Braves hitters will try to pull it rather than go the other way.

Stop guessing at the plate. Look at the ball and hit it. Gotta think it makes a difference in guys moving to different positions so often. Pardo in left, third, or first. Then different folks in left when Prado goes to the infield. Right field has had different players in and out. I appreciate players willing to move around but Mr. Jones makes it dang hard for Prado et al to feel comfortable at a position. It will be the same next year when Mr. Jones only plays 85-90 games and Prado bounces from place to place. Mr. Heyward hasn't shown me any indication that he will be consistent or improve next year. Give me Constanza out there who will bust his fanny and wreck havoc on the bases.

Bourne is an improvement over anything the braves have had in centerfield for a number of years but he doesn't seem to have helped that much. Heard Joe say on TV last night that the braves record is 24-21 since he came. That's not as good of winning % as before he came.
