Oh be still my heart, it's FANTASTIC!! Lovely gradations of value and wonderful composition Stephanie.
This indeed a really wonderful one, Stephanie! Once again you captured the atmosphere very well. I love the lack of color palette. Excellent work. Have a lovely weekend!
THIS painting is fabulous.
I love the strength of your design with the dark snowy sky to set it all off.
Brrr! You captured the winter cold and atmosphere so perfectly in this painting. I love everything about it too.
This is wonderful - so solid and moody....reminds me of an Andrew Wyeth painting. I always love your paintings of structures and landscape.

For her newest To Die thriller, Jackson heads back to Grizzly Falls, Mont., and the complicated lives of detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez. The danger and menace in this dark and edgy book gets all too real. In the deft hands of Jackson, relationships and secrets can be a very hazardous mix — both emotionally and physically!
The entire police force is shocked when a sniper shoots Sheriff Dan Grayson, leaving him in a coma and near death. Is this a personal or professional grudge? Pescoli and Alvarez have to put emotion aside and try to narrow the suspects and motives. Things get more complicated when they discover that a local judge has been shot and killed at her cabin. When a warning is sent to the press, it appears this murderer has a kill list. What Pescoli doesn't know could kill her — for she, too, is on that list! (ZEBRA, Aug., 416 pp., $7.99)

What They Didn't Teach You in Graduate School: 199 Helpful Hints for Success in Your Academic Career by Paul Gray
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Easy-going insider info.
Gray and Drew's book should be useful for both graduate students and faculty members beginning their academic careers. The brevity of this book, its occasional irreverence (including the cartoons), and its attention to the importance of scholarly publishing for faculty members at research universities make What They Didn't Teach You in Graduate School different from other academic career guides on the market. Short enough to be read in an afternoon, it is filled with enough advice to help keep one engaged and productive for an entire academic career. [This review snippet pertains to the first edition of this book, published in 2008.]

The title of this blog is probably a phrase that's over-used and cliched to death, but I can't think of something that applies more to the Hawks right now.
This time last year saw Mike Woodson shave the rotation down to 7 or 8 men, a move that he admitted (in an interview/article by Sekou K. Smith) was not favored by his assistants. Not so this year. The fact is, Coach Woodson has actually lengthened his rotation to 9, sometimes 10 men since Marvin Williams went down with a back injury. I don't know about you, but I figure the devil has to be checking his thermostat after that one. Did anybody see this coming? I mean, we ARE used to Woody saying that he wants to extend his rotation, that he needs to find a way to do it (while not actually doing it). Well, apparently he found a way to do it. Let's examine the guys who are benefitting the most right now.
Woody has developed a sudden penchant for putting Mario West into the game either late in the first quarter, or early in the second. It's worked, as West absolutely refuses to let whomever he is guarding get into an offensive rhythm. Not only that, but the 6′5″ guard is relentless on the glass. On BOTH sides of the floor. West is still somewhat out of control on the offensive end, but the man has absolutely no fear, and can get to the basket if there's a clear path. His energy, hustle, and defensive attitude make up for his shortcomings. The best part is, when he goes out, the Hawks aren't losing any offensive punch.
Enter Solomon Jones, who inexplicably has been glued to the bench after rather promising early season production. Solo is another energy guy who has somewhat decent touch around the basket (if he actually gets the ball, that is) . His biggest impact is on defense where he can use his length to bother opponents, and on the glass where again his length and leaping ability come into play.
Last, but certainly not least, is Acie Law. While many (myself included) have ground their teeth at the paltry minutes Law has been getting up to this point, none of us could say for certain just how good Law would be. And while his stats have not jumped out at anybody, he's as solid as they come. Unlike during his collegiate career, Law isn't real big on taking shots these days. Instead, he has focused on being what he has been asked to be- a point guard, first and foremost. But lately, he hasn't been shying away from shots either, not like he was earlier in the season. However, that's not where he's been making the biggest impact. No, that has been on defense, where he has allowed guys like Flip Murray and Joe Johnson to regard their respective counterparts (a rare luxury when playing next to Mike Bibby) , while he guards the opposing point guard. And what a job he has done. Even Chris Paul was not able to do a lot against him when he was in the game. Not only that, but Law has more than adequately done the one thing that takes the most pressure off of Joe Johnson- handle the ball without making a bunch of mistakes. Try looking at Law's assist-to-turnover ratio. Look at his stats in those two categories for the last few games in which he has played. You might be very surprised.
The question is, did it really take an injury to a starter for this to happen, or was Woody going to do it anyway? We'll never know unless he's asked that question in an interview (hey, somebody send a memo about this to Sekou Smith…he's the man). Inquiring minds want to know, but does the "why" of it really matter? Perhaps what matters more is that not only is Woody doing it, but he's doing a decent job of it. Maybe more than decent. Yes, I know, grudging praise….but pardon me if I'm not going to get overly excited about a handful of games in the face of five whole years. Besides, there are two bigger questions. One, will Woody continue his prudent use of the bench if/when Marvin returns to the lineup? It's only natural that some bench players will lose playing time when a starter returns, but we don't know if Marvin will be 100% healthy when he returns. Chances are, he won't be that healthy until sometime during the offseason. And since that is likely the case, playing him more than twenty or so minutes a game until he proves himself ready to go, would be a mistake. And two, how much trust will Woody show to these bench players (and how will he use them) in the playoffs?
Either way, what Woody is doing right now is working. And it's building confidence among the bench players, and the team overall. These guys have been needing to know that they can count on each other when the heat is on. Better late than never.
So. Do you think this is an aberration, or just a coincidental turning over of a new leaf? Tell us what you think. Gotta go for now. It's halfway through the 4th quarter, and the Hawks are up by double digits over the Blazers. Nothing like home cooking.

Sweet win, and yet another example of how to properly use the JJ ISO.
Simple: run enough effective plays through other guys, making them a credible threat, and eliminating the effectiveness of throwing double and triple teams at Joe.
It may have taken FIVE WHOLE YEARS to figure this out, but we're there now. As long as we continue this, we'll be okay.
It was nice to see us outplay the Blazers in nearly facet of the game (except rebounding, they always beat us in that segment). Our defense was definitely better, both schematically and by way of execution. PROPS TO SENOR WOODSON on that one, and the players of course.
Great game by JJ. He's a beast when you let him do HIS thing, instead of making him do EVERYTHING, a point that my friend Niremetal has brought up repeatedly (but has been largely ignored).
Nice game by Josh and Al, though they struggle against such sizeable lineups. The fact that we still won by nearly 20 tells you something, though. And I see their haters are conspicuously quiet…
Basically, we did to the Blazers what most teams have been doing to us for the past 5 years: limited them to one effective offensive option. Sure, Roy more or less did his thing. And Aldridge had a decent night. But he wasn't the amount of trouble he usually is, and only Outlaw was able to muster double digit scoring other than those two, despite McMillan's extensive use of his bench.
All of our starters played fairly well at the least. It was nice to see Bibby get a few dimes and hit some shots. He's been starving out there on the court lately (still takes too many 3s).
Gotta give Woody credit. He used, but did not overuse the bench. The starters were playing pretty well, especially in the second half.
It was great to see us FINALLY compete with, and beat the Blazers. I loved this one!

I HOPE that the leaf has turned (good thing this isn't the Falcons blog, as "leaf" would have a whole different meaning.

great comments ray. good game today. countdown to thursday dude. got to take care of business. may even be time to get the playoff tix. they continue the roll they are on it will take it out of my cash jar big time. where are you guys, get out here and support this team durn it.
go hawks!

I hope this bench use continues. If the Hawks continue winning utilizing the bench how can Woody stop?
This is what we've been asking for all year. Just regular minutes for our bench guys so they can help contribute. Even 5-8 minutes a game for Solo, Law & West will pay dividends.
Good job Woody – keep it going

Nice blog Ray. Hopefully the change is permanent.
I watched a hour of Acies college highlights on youtube, and Acie was a beast. He stated Billy Gillispie help change his game at A&M. Furthermore, he stated Gillispie had a a lot of confidence in him. That confidence empowered his game.
Anywayz, it was a great win. Looks like the same Hawks that started this season. A bigger rotation gets the entire team involved, which promotes great team chemistry.
Tell your boy Ando I prefer cash!!!!

Doc, I will be there for the Lakers and Celtics at the end of the month and the Magic the week after. See you then…. Go Hawks…

It might be time to start dealing with a cold, hard dose of reality. Hawks have 15 games left with 9 at home. For the sake of argument, let's say they go 8-7. They will finish with 47 wins. We have the inside track on the 4th seed for two reasons. One is that we have defeated Miami twice with the last meeting coming in Atlanta after we have 2 days rest. Also, Miami has to play 4 more conference games (and 4 more road games) to end the season. With 5-6 teams competing for the 8th seed, there will be many teams with a lot on the line in these next 4-5 weeks. I don't see the Heat going 12-4 (which is what they will need to do if we go 8-7). So let's assume that we finish with the 4th seed and 47 wins.
Barring a 4-0 playoff sweep and a meltdown with a player or two, Woody is coming back. In some cities, a fan base that sees their coach win 10 more games, have a very good home record, improve 4 playoff spots and host a first round playoff series would be very excited about their head coach. There wouldn't be complaints about playing more 2nd round draft picks (or undrafted free agents). No complaints about holding players accountable when they stray from the correct path. Few issues with an offense that is usually good enough to score 98 points/game (we average 96 points in our losses which suggests that our defense is most often the cause for our defeats). I'm sure Boston fans had issues last year with Doc and Cavs fans may dog Mike Brown this season but I'm guessing those coaches enjoy an overall favorable rating from their fan bases. The same is not true in Atlanta.
Anyway, as a charter blog member of the "Fire Woody" fan club, I have come to the realization that Woody has earned another year on the riding lawn-mower. His grass is lush, green and has fewer brown spots than the vast majority of houses in the neighborhood. You may want to stop focusing on the crab grass and small patches and recognize that the grass may not be any greener somewhere else.

Astro Joe, good points on Woody. Even if your scenario plays out it still doesn't make Woody untouchable. There have been been coaches (and some HOF worthy) that has gotten the pink slip with a better body of work than Woody. Heck, Jimmy Johnson (I know, different sport) got ran out of Dallas after winning the Superbowl. Now you want to suggest that we can't fire a coach that has a under .500 winning record? This is not a catch 22 in my eyes. Has Woody improve over the course of his tenure, YES he did. Does, this mean Sund have to bring him back as Coach for next season, NO he doesn't. Its totally up to Sund (and maybe micromanagers ASG)….
March 15th, 2009

Ray, to add to the points you made in your blog post, Woody has also started sitting Joe at the end of the first and third quarters regularly, so that he can get extended periods of rest between quarters without actually having his minutes reduced. So although Joe is still playing close to his regular 40 minutes, Woody is doing a much better job of budgeting those minutes to get him the most continuous rest possible.
Astro Joe, what you imply is true, that although Woody is flawed it's very possible that firing him will result in an even worse coach being hired (like Jim Mora replacing Dan Reeves in 2004 for the Falcons). I'm no fan of Woody, but I do give him credit that a) he is slowly beginning to do some of the things we've all been wanting him to do for a few years now, and b) he has reached the point as a coach where his replacement is nowhere near guaranteed to do better than him if he's fired.

Melvin, I agree, that there are examples but most are rooted in the coach going in the wrong direction. Dumars operates from a perspective that winning the conference is the standard and anything less gets you fired. He can do that after watching his team to go 5 straight conference finals (I think that is accurate). It's like a classic line graph and in Detroit, the line was headed in the wrong direction. In the case of the Hawks, the line is clearly going up. You don't buy any stock at $20… you buy the one that appears to be going up from $20 not down from $20.
I'm the last guy to say that Woody should get a 3-4 year extension and that he will ultimately take us to the promise land. I don't believe that at all. But he has pushed the right buttons this season. Maybe the internal fight was the right button. Maybe the home-stand is the real reason for the resurgence. All I know is that despite the forecasts from the national "pundits" and the pessimism from most bloggers (hey, I only predicted 42 wins so I was happily wrong like most around these parts), this team is "shocking the world" a year after falling 48 minutes short of "shocking the world". And I think dude should get some appreciation from the liar's table for ending our "long-suffering". But some have been wearing the long-suffering label so long that they refuse to adorn the "4th seed/homecourt playoff" wardrobe. I think I look DARN good in my "I am a fan of a quality NBA team that is securing a homecourt playoff berth" attire. My wife told me that I'm beginning to look a little more like Denzel with each and every Hawks victory. Ya'll can walk around looking like Dennis Rodman if you want.

I would give Woody another one year deal with a nice bonus with the option of changing my mind after the play offs. If we get into the second round a two year contract would be fair. If we go farther than that then I would agree a 3-4 year deal is a justified pay off.
I also predicted 42 wins and am happy I shot to low. I am still trying to be realistic about the tough games ahead. We have some great match ups ahead and it will be tough to go over 50%. Once again I hope I'm wrong and we'll do better.
Ray, love the post
I think most of like increased use of the bench. We can only hope this continues when Marvin returns. The team seems to be getting better at situational awareness. Flip was 1-6 and was smart enough quit shooting. This has been a problem in the past. JJ and Bibby would have a higher shooting percentage if they would pass more when they are having off nights.
The improved play of multiple players means the Hawks don't have to rely on the back court. Fan-em and feed-em should be the new motto. Our front court has proved the ability to take over parts of games. ZaZa has proven his worth while Al has taken his game to another level. If every one on the Hawks team gives Josh a hug and gives him 13 shot attempts he can go double double every night. Al dosen't need the hug but he has earned the right for 13 attempts as well.
I believe we have a ways to go in exploiting this area but the signs are encouraging. JJ and Bibby need to feed and fan these studs.
One area Woody could do better at is playing Acie against quicker guards. When Bibby is hot he can offset great PG's but we need Acie's defense when Bibby is not shooting so well. There is still time to work with Acie on his consistency before the play offs. Were going to need him confident and happy.
Speaking of happy, the chemistry of the Hawks is evident. The psychological wizard that is Josh has cleared the air and more team ball is the result. All of us are human and need encouragement and support. Woody is the hard boss that rarely likes to dish it out. Lets hope he'll chill a little and feed the good vibes. I think giving bench players even 3-4 minutes in important games gives them the feeling their needed and important to the teams success. Fanning this chemistry is done through minutes. When Marvin comes back we can only hope the bench is not forgotten.
March 16th, 2009
11:46 am
I am not a Woody fan, but I must say that since Marvin got injured, he has done a much better job of using the bench. I hope Marvin is able to make it back before the playoffs, and I hope Woody keeps it up.
I think Woody will be here next season, and based on team results, I am okay with that, especially if the Hawks win their first round playoff series.
If the Hawks make it to the Eastern Conference finals, then Woody will have earned at least another 2 or 3 year deal.
March 16th, 2009
12:23 pm
I agree that Woody has been making some MUCH needed adjustments (if increasing font was an option, that "much" wouldn't fit on your monitor) since Marvin went down, but I'm far from sold on him as the coach this team needs.
As far as the sudden increase in bench minutes, this is typical Woodson. It's nice while it lasts, but it'll come to an abrupt halt once Marvin returns. The number of games these guys have spent as DNPs or seeing the court for 1-2mins over the past couple years is ridiculous. The bench isn't utilized, it's dealt with only because the starters can't play 48min.
March 16th, 2009
12:55 pm
since i am not a woody hater i will say that whoever is has another year of misery. feel he has done a suitable job and manages crisis well even if he is part of the reason for it. also like his feeling it during games managing games with more substitution patterns. now that marvin is out it has challeneged him to get it right and if it isnt to make a quick change. i think he could have done this all year very effectively and we might be sitting higher in the standings. i still look back to the nets game where josh is guarding vince and wondered uh WHY! i mentioned maybe mario should have been the pest and folks said gee he might have fouled him. he alos could have denied him the ball. yes it was a lucky or great shot, doesnt matter it went in. those are the situations that woody has failed to negotiate the bumps. now that marvin is out he is forced to so what he has been reluctant to do and use his bench and finding it isnt so bad. still got to say solo has the best touch between zaza, al and josh.
anyway got to give woody credit as he continues to get some more out of these guys when it looks to be darkest. i am also mighty glad josh whispered in his ear the other night, woke the mutha up. he might even look back and thank josh for the extension he gets. josh and horford are still the guys this team cannot live without, flat bottom line. woody better keep them happy if he want s more meals, be a fool otherwise.
my goodness my computer has a virus, look out it might spread. heh heh no telling where it might show up next.
btw i really like this team and the players. it has been fun to watch them live. give it a try guys, come and see some games.
March 16th, 2009
1:02 pm
doc, maybe the agreement in Charlotte was that Woody would coach like an NBA coach once Josh started playing like an NBA PF. And the first one to stop doing their job would have to leave town (like one of those old Dick Slater vs. Junkyard Dog loser leave town… and come back as a masked wrestler… matches). So let's see what happens first, if Woody asks Flip to defend Kevin Martin for 20 minutes or if Smith jacks up 3 3s in a half.
March 16th, 2009
2:54 pm
As usual, you seem right on. I think Sam Mitchell is the perfect analogy for Woody. Indeed, with the exception of Pop out in San Antonio, there seems to be a curse that follows coaches who win COY – they all seem to "hit the ceiling" the year they win the award, and none of them seem to stick around for more than a year or two afterwards. Not saying that Woody will (or should) win COY, but even the most cynical observer of the Hawks has to admit that he'll be in the running if the Hawks finish with 47+ wins and the 4-spot in the East. The question then becomes whether he can take them to the next level…
If anything, I'd like to see Woody try more bench rotations – maybe mixing in a little Tom Gardner every once in awhile when the team is having trouble putting points on the board.
And because I think everyone needs to see this twice:

As soon as HAYWOOD went down October last I said HAWKS and WIZ would trade positions in the standings at the end of the 2008-2009 season. Well, I guess the HAWKS at four look good, but the WIZ – oh my. I knew they would tumble, but this is ridiculous. BTW, they just shot themselves in the proverbial foot vying for the most lottery balls in the BLAKE GRIFFIN sweeps by beating SACRAMENTO. Fell from one back to third in the picking order. This late in the season its too much to hope that BOTH the CLIPPERS and KINGS would win 2 and 3 respectively on the way out of this miserable season.
J-CRIT continues to get my vote, and grows in the eyes of the posting faithful on the WIZARDS blogs.

I finally went to that link. That was SOOOOO funny! Oh damn, that was funny. I had to play it, like, 3 more times.
On the subject of Woody. Hey, if we finish strong to 47 wins and the 4th seed, he's definitely in the running. (I hate to see what Samuel would do if he won, but luckily I don't live anywhere near him and won't be embarrassed ).
But here's the deal: I'd rather have a guy who can take us to the next level. If that's Woody, then great. If it ain't….
March 16th, 2009

Sure Woody has done well since Marvin's injury and Josh's dust up. I'll give him coach of week credit. Moooo
Woody = COW

Ray, I may have to hop aboard Sam's hoopty. Goodness knows, I'm not a big Woody fan but I can't overlook the facts. And I think I am soooo tired of the constant complaining that it has pushed me to the other side… being the natural contrarian that I am. The only difference from most blog entries from this season vs. maybe two years ago is the lack of discussion about the draft. But it still reads like we're about to finish with 30 wins based on many posts between your blog and Sekou's. I guess is all part of the disbelief of going from perpetual loser to a respectable team. But I don't expect this to happen next season (due to economic issues beyond the dysfunctional ASG mess) so I don't want to sit here and complain about the warts on a team that has maintained a lock on the 4th slot for almost the entire season. (Not after sitting thru the past 8-9 seasons). I'll enjoy the hoopty ride now because there is absolutely no reason to believe it will be available next season.

doc, I thought you would appreciate someone who can alter their opinion based on facts. Even though I was the one who offered "organic growth" to the blog world, I can't say that we went from 30-37-48? wins strictly due to player development or limited roster moves.
The Hawks are like the girl you knew from high school. On a really good day, she was average but mostly, you avoided her because she wasn't quite up to par. But a few years later, you see her again. Now are you going to continue to act like she is that unattractive girl from high school or will you stop and realize that mother nature has paid her some very kind visits since last you saw her? Not every girl is fine at the age of 16… sometimes the curves don't kick in until a few years later. But when they do, you need to recognize, son. Recognize and respond appropriately!

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your post.
Yes, I did take the time to read the article. It was an ok article. A bit long and boring. Reminded me too much of Ray and (prebirth) Ando's stuff. I just can't get too excited about a guy named Wojnarowski being an expert on basketball. You know me.
The article pretty much talked about how unprepared a high school boy from a "cow" town like Starkville was in coming to the bright lights of the NBA. The guy, Bobby Hurley was trying to prepare him to match up with a mature 30 year old "grown ass" man, LeBron James. What rookie wouldn't be lost.
The article mentioned a learning disability one time towards the end:
"Too many times in this league, they'll dismiss a guy as, 'Oh, he can't think,' or 'he's learning disabled,' when you could take the time to help him learn," Williams said.
"Too many times" means that it has been done before. Like I said, there are plenty of professional athletes and professional everything else, including MD's, who have succeeded with learning disabilities. I don't know if Travis really has a learning disability or not but I do know that many are being misdiagnosis. If you doubt me, spend a few days in the public schools.
What really "pissed" me off about your little sermon was:
"he would be out of the league with another coach and on the street otherwise".
Doc, what may I ask were you "implying" in that statement? Is it that Outlaw is a thug maybe and that if it weren't for basketball he'd be "on the streets"?
I don't personally know Travis or his family but I have seen him play high school ball many times. I also know that he is a very respectable and humble young man. He actually has a "real" family with a good support system so I doubt he would be on the streets right now, even without basketball.
Furthermore, I don't believe the Blazers have done any more than any other organization would do if they drafted a guy right out of high school and invested Millions into him. I'm sure he's not the only rookie who has been given extra practice time. Give me a break.
"samuel, i know you will shove it down my throat if we win tomorrow. just the same i will be very vocal that we win. anyway it will be only one game. mcmillan has a better record".
Doc, I haven't even seen the game but from what I can understand, there's not much to shove in your face. Woody and the Hawks "owned" Mc and the Blazers.

Just read the column and haven't ready any of the other posts yet, but I couldn't agree more with the column guys. Great review–particularly regarding the strong defense by Acie, who with his speed, muscle and tenacity, is really helping against guys like Paul and Deron Williams. Just hope Woody doesn't get too cute with his subbing–against the Pacers, there were times in the first half, where we just didn't have enough scorers in. Acie still needs to also shoot a bit more.

Yes, it took an injury to a starter for this to happen! No, Woody was not going to do it anyway! No, Woody will not continue his prudent use of the bench if/when Marvin returns to the lineup! No, Woody will not show much trust to these bench players in the playoffs! Yes, he will use them for garbage minutes!

graat post. based on your comments and the steady improvement of this team over the past 4 years, do you think that sund will can woody after the season is over? could you put an end to this insanity?
also, we need to reevaluate our thoughts on bknight. maybe he knew what he was doin' by draftin' a team full of athletic forwards. we pose match-up problems for teams on a nightly basis.
lastly, ray, i honestly think that we can make it to the Eastern Conference finals. my coworkers think that i am an idiot. AM I?

You're not an idiot. When we play like we are now, we really can (and do) beat anybody. The issue is that we don't always play like that, and Woody doesn't always caoch the way he is now. Also, getting to the Eastern Conference Finals requires some serious strategy, because opposing teams/coaches will be doing anything and everything they can to find an advantage/weakness and exploit it. Woody has to be ready to outthink the opposition.
As for canning Woody, like I said: an appearance in the 2nd round of the playoffs probably earns him an extension if the following year is acceptable. A loss? Curtains, bro', curtains….
Astro Joe,
Fair enough man. We should enjoy this season. But you say that there is no reason to believe that next season could be this good. Well, I'd say there is no reason to believe it won't. But hey, I don't want to bait a natural contrarian….
"Cuz?" Did you accidentally show up to the blog hosted by the two Hawks fans you hate the most (well, besides Doc, considering the accusation you just leveled at him)? Be that as it may, rest assured, we enjoyed the victory against Portland as much as you did.
As for Acie, I recall you making several unflattering remarks about him all season. I don't recall you making ANY comments about him getting playing time down the stretch run <until it was actually happening. But hey, if I missed those posts, forgive me. I don't catch everything, despite my lengthy attention span.

Art, when drafting, It is smart to pick the best player with the most upside potential. When it comes to Marvin there is much debate. I think Bk was not trying to fill slots as much as getting the best player.
Ray, I think were giving Woody to much credit. While we pine about the addition of Mario and a couple of Acie sightings, I don't think he is a changed man. He will play these guys, but I have a feeling there on a very short leash. I go to ZaZa for the example. He was ready to play bigger minutes way before he was allowed to after his injury. I actually think he should play more. One of them deals where if Josh or Al is not on top of their game, ZaZa plays the same minutes. Why?
We all complain about Woody not playing situational substitution. The starters are not benched early enough and often enough their play is off and lack of minutes for bench players who are hot and performing. While the starters like it, I think we miss opportunities to develop players off the bench and give to much comfort to the starters regardless of how there playing. This is not an effort thing, it's a production thing.
I could be wrong but Josh might have been upset about the double standard between himself and the back court. Josh gets the "look" and the chew while the golden boys of the back court get a "their game was off tonight". What do you think Acie thinks?
The air seems to have cleared and the Hawks are rolling. I hope Woody doesn't throw a stick into the gears by doing what is normal to him. Maybe he is a mind master mine. I just think he's old school. Even if it isn't right and even if Woody is unfair, if we get the fourth seed and advance to the second round, Give the man a raise.
March 16th, 2009
10:10 pm
Ray, in this economy, I can't blame any business owner in any industry for trying to reduce expenses. Hawks will lose around $20M in salaries this summer and I don't expect them to replace all $20M worth of players/talent. And I expect most teams will look to cut costs. We saw what happened in baseball (Garrett Anderson for less than $3M? Insane). And I think football free agents will see similar contracts get slashed. We'll see, but I think the purse strings may be ultra-tight in the summer and we may have to fight with plastic knives. So I'm going to enjoy our payroll and playoff-bound team, NOW.
March 16th, 2009
10:12 pm
Sorry, but did Ant just suggest that the Hawks may make the Eastern Conference Finals AND Woody should be fired? WTF?
March 16th, 2009
10:29 pm
One of the biggest differences since Marvin got hurt is moving JJ to the 3 spot which changes the dynamic of the offense. This means he gets the ball closer to the basket & not always at the 3-pt line in the guard position. It has forced the Hawks away from ISO Joe on the perimeter…now when he gets the ball he's dealing from the wing postition. Of course if Marvin comes back, all bets are off…

The King Cake baby is back, stalking basketball courts and haunting dreams of NBA fans everywhere. Apparently the New Orleans' NBA team, the Pelicans, have taken a break from their scary looking mascot bird Pierre the Pelican, but have now taken creepy to a whole new level with the King Cake Baby.
Yahoo! Sports on Monday called the King Cake Baby a "nightmarish tradition," and explained how Twitter has lit up over creepy images of the bloated, oversized plastic baby.
"Search for King Cake Baby on Twitter and you will find a large number of tweets that include the word 'nightmare,' descriptions like 'hauntingly weird' and a general sense that many people will be losing sleep over a shared experience… The spirited outcry is a reaction to the return of an NBA mascot — the New Orleans Pelicans seasonal oddity, King Cake Baby," writes Angela Sun from Yahoo! Sports.
The New Orleans Pelicans unveiled their new mascot, Pierre the Pelican, just before the start of the 2014 season, to coincide with their name change from the Hornets to the Pelicans, a gulf coast bird.
That's all fine, but why a freakish baby with sagging skin, a pig nose and Poltergeist eyes?
Kurt Helin of Pro Basketball Talk explained that "King Cake is a New Orleans tradition where a small plastic baby figurine (less than an inch long) is cooked inside a cake during Mardi Gras and the person that finds it is bestowed with good luck."
So with Mardi Gras coming up next week, the Pelicans brought back their three seasonal mascots traditionally used by the Hornets to celebrate the beginning of the New Orleans' festivities — the King, the Jester and the King Cake Baby, "a gigantic personification of the plastic baby often hidden inside the seasonal treat said to represent Baby Jesus," says Yahoo.
Somehow, knowing the explanation doesn't make it any better. And please tell me how that outlandish, mini-golf decoration gone wild resembles the Christ? Just keep that thing away from me and my family.
Twitter agrees. A sampling:
I mean, I just have no words. None. I think "IT" is staring at me. #KingCakeBaby – @wwltvsports
King Cake Baby pretty much ensures I'll never sleep again. – @TanyaBondurant
So I'm for sure going to have nightmares about King Cake Baby. @ Smoothie King Center http://instagram.com/p/k0nOsWwC80/ – @ArashMarkazi

Written by Remy Robertson
Within the rising intensity of the global economic crisis, reforms are being made in every aspect of life.
Sometimes that includes more walking and less driving or cutting back spending on superfluous items.
President Schrum's campus-wide email outlining the proposed fiscal reforms for Southwestern University has me wondering on the actual economic impact some of them will provide.
Also, the question arises: why are we choosing to reform these aspects of fiscal responsibility?
First off, the most perplexing aspect of the policies outlined in the email concerns the hiring, freezing and firing of faculty positions.
President Schrum states that no "new faculty positions" will be hired; no "increase [in] salary"; and a "continuation of the 9-month hiring freeze on staff vacancies."
These policies are not unorthodox in the collegiate world: both President Powers from UT Austin and President Leebron from Rice University have recently issued memos describing their strategies on freezing staff vacancies as well as a reduction in president, vice president, and dean salaries.
Despite SU's similarity to Rice and UT Austin's freezing reforms, SU does not have the luxury of tightening the requirements on the quality of professors. President Leebron mentions "new faculty must meet the highest standards of their discipline or profession" while President Powers says UT-Austin is trying to create increasing "merit-based salary" for qualified professors.
Obviously since Southwestern is so small, the university does not have the dexterity to provide compensation to more qualified professors than others.
My question is what does this freeze do for the quality of professors at Southwestern, and more specifically, how does this affect certain departments?
I'm no economist, but maybe some helpful insight would occur with an analysis of the sizes of departmental staff to majoring students. With this, maybe the University can "tighten" how many professors are in certain departments based off the need.
For example, I've recently heard that kinesiology is one of the largest departments on campus with something on the order of 18 faculty members. 18?!
The business department has 10 full-time professors with seven visiting professors.
I want to know how much demand is needed for these 17 business professors and eighteen kinesiology professors: that is, can only ten professors in each department provide classes for all the students?
Hypothetically speaking, if reductions in faculty were made—in order to save money—the famous teacher-to-student ratio would increase. Southwestern, as well as liberal arts colleges across the nation, pride themselves on their small class sizes and discussion groups. Is this really something we want to sacrifice?
Although I wonder if there are any superfluous faculty positions that ought to be cut in times like these, I realize that this would affect the teacher-to-student ratio as well as the ability to hold more students in a class size.
It is very noticeable that the university is making great strides to keep this ratio small: otherwise the University would be increasing student acceptance for the new entering class by much more than 33 students (the jump from "1,232" to "1,265" students outlined in the email).
Southwestern has recently opened up the application process to an "Early Action" option. This option has increased a substantial number of applications to Southwestern.
If the university decided to increase more students, they could do so without having to impose such a magnanimous tuition increase as well as the freezing of faculty positions. But they are not. They are increasing tuition and freezing faculty positions in order to keep some of the fundamental features of Southwestern University secure: that includes the teacher-to-student ratio, accountability of students in the class room, personal relationships with professors, a more engaging academic experience and the "discussion-based" classroom.
In a nutshell, I'm very impressed with President Schrum's fiscal restraints.
Granted, neither I nor many other students will adapt well financially to the increased tuition rates.
I am impressed, however, that the university is making all necessary cuts in order to keep the fundamental basics of Southwestern secure.
Without this, Southwestern could increase students in order to trade off the financial issues, start lagging in the quality of professors, and decrease the intellectual tenets of the campus by lowering the SAT requirements. But they are not.
It's understandable to see how tough it will be to pay for Southwestern University with the increased tuition, but in reality we are paying for a more valuable experience in our day and age.
I urge all students to participate in the Student Forum, Faculty Meeting and Staff Affairs Council to become more engaged in what our administration is doing financially.

CFPB says 1 in 5 credit scores sold to consumers have "meaningful" differences from scores lenders use
Just one day after its enforcement action against Discover Card for deceptive marketing of overpriced, junky credit card add-ons, including a credit score tracking product, the CFPB has confirmed what consumer advocates have been saying all along. Credit scores heavily marketed to consumers aren't the same as those used by lenders; CFPB found that at least 1 in 5 consumer scores have "meaningful" differences and that "score discrepancies may generate consumer harm." The CFPB went on to say:
Consumers unlikely to know about score discrepancies: There is no way for consumers to know how the score they receive will compare to the score a creditor uses in making a lending decision. As such, consumers cannot exclusively rely on the credit score they receive to understand how lenders will view their creditworthiness.
The CFPB also provided recommendations to consumers, including "shop around for credit" and "Check your credit report for accuracy and dispute errors."
More from the CFPB: "This study highlights the complexities consumers face in the credit scoring market," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "When consumers buy a credit score, they should be aware that a lender may be using a very different score in making a credit decision." The complete Analysis of Differences between Consumer and Creditor-Purchased Credit Scores is available at: http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201209_Analysis_Differences_Consumer_Credit.pdf
Current law provides that you get a real score from lenders when you apply for a mortgage or certain credit applications (since 2004) and after you are denied credit or charged more for credit (only since 2011). This Federal Reserve factsheet explains these circumstances with as little technical language as possible.
For years, however, the credit bureaus and others have developed an extremely profitable direct-to-consumer marketing channel selling what they, when pressed, call "educational scores," but which most mortgage brokers and consumer advocates prefer to call "FAKO" scores because the leading lender-used score is from a company called Fair Isaac and Company and is called the FICO score.
It is most important that consumers do three things before applying for credit.
- First, check your credit reports for errors and fix the errors. Don't pay for either your reports or FAKO scores or credit score monitoring subscription products. Take advantage of free credit report rights described here at the FTC. A consumer can create her own free credit monitoring service by staggering the requests for each of the three reports (one from each major bureau,Experian, Equifax and Trans Union) across the year. (Additional free reports are available after credit denial (from the bureau(s) used by the lender to take an adverse action) and also annually under state law (from each of those Big Three) - usually by phone -- in 7 states (CA, CO, GA, MA, MD, NJ, VT) and Puerto Rico.)
- Second, pay down credit card balances so your "credit utilization" is less than 33% of your available credit.
- Finally, of course, a recent record of on-time payments on all loans will help offset any previous record of delinquencies. Past late payments decline significantly in impact as they recede into the past and are replaced by newer, on-time payments.
On the other hand, past public record defaults (bankruptcies, accounts sent to collection for non-payment) have a worse impact than previous late payments on loans; that is why it is critical that false negative public record data be eliminated from your report. Don't believe claims of fast-talking credit repair doctors that they can eliminate truthful negative information. They cannot.
This is an important new CFPB report.
Thank you very much for a very useful article. Best of luck always to the author.
People and negotiators are so careful nowadays especially if it is a public content and matter. There is no surprise is that; a published material is so tightly concerned with the mortgage business party. Because if there are flaws in the settlement, that means public will make them pay.

Moore narrowed it down to a final two of Auburn and TCU and in a shocking turn of events he selected the Horned Frogs over the Tigers on Fox Sports South's recruiting show featuring recruiting National Recruiting Analyst Chad Simmons.
"I chose TCU because I felt like it was the place God was leading me towards," Moore explained. "Also I feel that coach (Gary) Paterson and I have the same dreams of becoming champions."
"With that being said I want to thank all of the coaches around the nation for affording me a plethora of opportunities to maximize my talents at the next level."
"Lastly, I want to thank God for blessing me with a family like mine to drive m on the path of success," Moore continued about his decision.
In addition to offers from TCU and Auburn, Moore also pulled down scholarships from Ohio State, Michigan State, North Carolina, Penn State and Mississippi.
"As I close I would like to say GO HORNED FROGS!!!!!!!"
Moore is also a track stand-out, one of the best in the country. He has posted a time of 7.28 seconds in the 55-meter hurdles, which is the fastest in the nation this season for a high school athlete in that event. He said his goal is to break the indoor record for high school athletes of 7.08 seconds.

ALEXANDRIA, La. – The national "kiss in" at Chick-fil-A was organized by the GLADD organization Friday. Supporters of gay marriage were supposed to have same-sex public displays of affection at Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country.
This is in response to Wednesday's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. NewsChannel 5/CBS 2 went back to the Chick-fil-A restaurant on Jackson and Macarthur and saw no signs, no protestors and no kissing couples.
There were the usual lunchtime lines inside and at the drive-thru, but no kiss-in.
The manager said he only saw chicken fans.

The Razorback is the student run, award-winning yearbook at The University of Arkansas. It is published yearly and distributed to students and faculty free of charge every fall. The Razorback contains a mix of stories on topics pertaining to student life, academics, athletics, organizations on campus, as well as a section of individual student photos. The Razorback also uploads stories and upcoming yearbook sneak peaks regularly to their website.
Currently, The Razorback consists of 7 photographers, 9 writers, 5 designers, a photo editor, copy editor, webmaster and 1 marketing person all being lead by Nick Carter, the Editor-in-Chief, and Ryan McSwain, the assistant editor.
While many days and nights are spent slaving away, there is never a dull moment in the yearbook office. This staff is known for their occasional pranks and obsession with YouTube.
Any University of Arkansas student is eligible to apply for a position at The Razorback. Students wanting to apply can find an application online at our website or pick up one in Kimpel 119L.
Established in 1897, The Razorback was originally named The Cardinal until 1916— six years after the football team had taken on the new name "Arkansas Razorbacks".
A Glimpse into the Past
1907: Included quotes from students, for example H.R. Smith, then a junior, spoke "Some day I'll sure be a lawyer." G.C. Morris, a junior from Lonoke, said "Give me a pencil, I'll report the news." Sam Ross, a sophomore from Fayetteville, spoke "Just watch me while I do it".
1928: "Arkansas Beauties"— Women entered their photos into a beauty contest, six were chosen by the photographer, as they were to him "the most charming". These six were given full-page photos. They also had a prom club this year.
1932: The club Deutscher Verien completes its third year of being on campus, following its inactivity after 1917. The club has gained back its prestige and usefulness it enjoyed before the war. Meetings included such events as lectures, short talks in German, German songs, burlesques and plays.
1937: The Home Economics Club is one of the largest student organizations on the campus. This is the only professional organization dealing with home economic problems.
1940: Black Cat Cotillion was founded on campus to sponsor closer interfraternity social relations as well as encourage formal dances. The cabinet is composed of one member from eight of the ten fraternities on campus, one town boy, and a stray Greek. When the organization decides to have a dance (usually in December, March, and May), each fraternity is given a quota depending on its size, and the member from that group takes word back to his fraternity brothers.
1942: Due to the war, during the first semester around 100 men left school to join the armed forces. Second semester enrollment dropped twice the usual amount, leaving 1,760 persons. The College of Engineering lost 16.5 percent of its enrollment, the most of any other college. The smallest loss was a 6 percent decline in the College of Education. New defense courses appeared on the curriculum, including Civilian Pilot Training I and II, Design Principles Basic to Camouflage, classes in sheet metal work, classes in explosives and Red Cross first aid classes were conducted at the Student Union for both students and townspeople.
1949: There were many publications on campus including:
The Razorback-- The yearbook was able gather enough money to produce a large four-color picture in the 1949 publication, a great accomplishment.
The Arkansas Traveller-- This student newspaper published a four page edition every Tuesday and an eight page edition every Friday. The newspaper covered everything from dances, sports and meeting announcements to more intimate things such as a boy and girl deciding to go steady.
The Guild Ticker-- This business magazine was published each semester by students in the business school. This publication included articles on local businessmen, up-and-coming businesses in Arkansas and a look into the daily life of a business student and the UA.
The Agriculturist-- This publication by the students in the college of Agriculture was published monthly and included articles on outstanding research done by students in the school, staff spotlights, pictures, jokes and even a section by the Dead that contained many helpful suggestions to students.
The Engineer-- This was the official publication for the College of Engineering. The magazine, while mostly informational, contained a joke section that students described as something they all wanted to see in print, but just didn't think anyone would print it. The magazine was also popular for its St. Patrick's Day (Engineer's Day) issue in which St. Pat and his queen were announced.
The Law Review-- This is the third year for this lawyer-targeted magazine to be published. This publication had a circulation upwards of 1,400 copies being distributed to UA law students, members of the Arkansas Bar Association and to a large number of other law schools throughout the country. Articles consisted of critical and analytical legal writing on topics of interest to the Arkansas bench and bar as well as articles written by faculty members, outstanding lawyers and authorities of other states.
1953: With a new physics building at UA and new industrial plants being built around the state, the university and the state of Arkansas are said to be leading the way in industrial expansion.
1960: The university was known for its new modern structures including Brough Commons which opened this year.
1971: This year saw many committees on campus including the Fashion Committee, Art Committee, Film Committee, Celebrity Showcase, Hostess Committee, Coffeehouse Committee and the Travel Committee.
1976: Enrollment hit a new record at 12,254 students this year. 10,114 being Arkansas residents, 364 Texans, 299 Missourians, 222 Oklahomans, 125 Louisianians, as well as at least one student from the other 45 states and from 44 foreign countries. The largest group of foreign students is 38 from Iran.
1983: In the summer, gasoline hit 80 cents per gallon. Arkansas played Alabama in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans.
1990: Old Main had an $11.3 million renovation, installing air conditioning, elevators and 100,000 more square feet. The football team made its second consecutive Cotton Bowl appearance and the men's basketball team reached the NCAA Final Four.
1995: University Programs sponsored the fastest-selling show yet-- Barney and Friends. $30,000 of the proceeds from the show went to Helen R. Walton Children's Center.
1996: Baum Stadium opened on April 13 with the Razorbacks playing against Auburn.
1998: The Razorback men's track team captured its sixth Southeastern Conference Indoor Championship, winning by 104 points over second-place LSU.
1999: The Goo Goo Dolls played at Barnhill Arena
2001: John R. Locke, comparative literature program director, was shot and killed by James Easton Kelly, a non-degree graduate student, on the first day of classes in fall 2000 in Kimpel Hall Room 231. After shooting Locke, Kelly turned the gun on himself, committing suicide.
2003: James Earl Jones, voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars films, King Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King and actor in the film Field of Dreams, came to the U of A to speak at the Martin Luther King Celebration. Jones spoke of the need for cultural awareness in America, his childhood, his mentors, his life's work and the struggles he has had to overcome.
2006: The Campaign, which raised $1.046 billion to benefit students, faculty, academic programs, capital and libraries, marked a major milestone in the history of the U of A. The Campaign for the 21st Century increased student scholarships and faculty endowments, allowed for the building of the Randal Tyson Center and the renovation and expanding of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium as well as helped to update Mullins Library.
2007: Alpha Omicron Pi becomes the newest sorority to come to campus in 17 years.
2008: Foo Fighters perfomed at the Greek Theater. Houston Nutt leaves the UA behind after working ten years as the head coach of the Razorbacks to coach at Ole Miss.
2009: RazAlert was introduced to campus, providing students with immediate notice of extreme weather, acts of violence or school closings straight to their phones and email.
2010: H1N1, aka swine flu, spread at an alarming rate, and by the last week of September, the UA reported 228 diagnosed cases. H1N1 symptoms include cough, sore throat, runny nose, vomiting and fever.
2011: Two back-to-back blizzards, dubbed a Snowpocalypse, forced the university to close from Feb. 1-3, open late and close early on Feb.4, and then close again from Feb. 8-11. Students used the "vacation time" to enjoy a snowball fight or two, have a few drinks on Dickson, sled down the hill in front of Reid, put off homework and catch up on sleep.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Chalk and white board markers are becoming a sign of the times. Nearly 250 LISD classrooms have new interactive equipment, and this new technology is making students of all ages - Smart.
It's far from the old, school house blackboard. This board is a little bit smarter, however, pencil and paper are not obsolete in Larae Boucher's Iron Middle School math class.
"They get to come up and touch. It's easier for them to do that instead of sitting and listening to me," says Boucher.
They are called Smart Boards. These smart boards have a price tag ranging from $1,400 to $4,500, and Boucher says some of the features are priceless for her 8th graders. "I can record myself talking and writing and post on my website and students who are absent can access the lesson," says Boucher.
The boards are in 250 LISD classrooms and District Instructional Technology Director, Bill Landis, says Smart Technology caters to every type of learning style.
"It's not just one size fits all - it's what is unique for every student and comes back to every student every day," says Landis.
Teachers say this technology saves them time. Anything you can do with a mouse at a computer you can do with your fingertip on the board. You can pull up websites and watch videos or even open blank notebook pages and bring in images that correspond to lesson plans.
These are plans Boucher's students say are fun. Brice Purkeypile, a student in Boucher's class says "a chalk board and white board make it seem really boring."
Landis and his LISD Technology team have partnered with Lubbock Christian University and Texas Tech to help teach future teachers about this technology.
Dr. Walter Smith, TTU Chair Department Curriculum Instruction says,"The better we can prepare our teachers to work in that setting the better LISD will be and the better children of Lubbock will be."
Bill Landis thinks "It's a model of how a University and independent school district can work hand in hand and everyone benefits.."
This partnership, all involved say benefits the entire community.
Some of the education classes at Tech and LCU have already incorporated Smart Board Technology. Another round of teacher training starts Friday.

The Vikings are among the NFL teams considering a partnership with their state lottery after league owners passed a resolution last week enabling teams to sign licensing deals with state-sponsored lotteries.
Steve LaCroix, Vikings vice president of sales and marketing and chief marketing officer, said today that the team has "had discussions with the Minnesota State Lottery marketing staff," and is investigating the potential of a partnership.
The New England Patriots and Washington Redskins already have agreed to deals in Massachusetts and Virginia, respectively, and Newsday reported that the Giants are considering agreements with New York and possibly New Jersey.
The fact that NFL owners moved forward with this is interesting because of the league's strong anti-gambling stance. However, the league justified the action because sponsorship agreements with state lotteries will not be tied into the final result of any of its games. The current state of the economy certainly had an impact on the decision, given that these sponsorships will create additional revenues.
It's not surprising that the Vikings are being proactive on this matter considering the team's need to generate income. The Vikings, who have been unsuccessful so far in their quest for a new stadium, have the lowest stadium revenue in the NFL playing in the Metrodome, and were ranked last among the league's 32 teams with a value of $839 million by Forbes magazine last summer.
Other teams that reportedly are looking at lottery-related sponsorship deals are the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans.
Join Vikings beat writers Judd Zulgad and Chip Scoggins on a usually informative and often irreverent journey inside the Vikings.
Just like the NFL, Zulgad and Scoggins go at it all year long -- on and off the field.

Tools and tricks for monitoring your network
If you can't monitor everything yourself, why not let your computers watch your computers? This month we examine some practical techniques for network monitoring.
You can't inspect a computer network the way you inspect a line of show dogs. Dozens of processes are at work at any moment – all within a motionless rack or an innocuous beige case – and no one has enough eyes to watch the status of everything. While you stop to fill out another requisition form, files fly down wires, web servers serve up pages, data servers accept and log transactions, and CPUs execute millions of instructions every second. The need for network monitoring has been around for nearly as long as the need for networks. This month, we look at some tricks and tools for keeping watch.

Not your ordinary love
I've learned a lot from my past experiences. Oh, Im not proud of my past. But im proud of what I've become.
And this time, I want someone who wants to be in my life not just because I want him to, but because "He wants to be in it."
This time, I want to save a space in my heart for someone, not just because I want him to be there, but because "He's willing to fight for that chance."
I want someone who's willing to go the distance just as much as I do. Someone who would understand that commitment, honesty and loyalty needs to be taken seriously.
I want someone to love me enough that he wouldn't let me go without putting up a fight. Not just because thats how much Im going to love him, but because, That's how much he does.
11:37 am
5mins to go and #HappyNewYear :)) Personally, I have so much to thank for. Hindi naman mawawala ang trials and sacrifices sa buhay natin. but I know that giving up is never an option for us. We will rise everytime we fall. "Every ending awaits a new beginning." Let us all welcome this coming year with a heart full of gratitude for every little thing that happened has its own purpose. It will leave a lesson that hopefully would mold us into becoming a better version of ourselves and for others. Also, a Heart full of hope and faith for what Lord God has in store for us this coming year. A Prosperous 2014 everyone!! ♡♡ #Lastselfiefor2013 :)

Lincoln County authorities are crediting Tomahawk firefighters with helping to save three people after they fell through the ice in the Town of King.
The incident happened on Lake Alice Saturday afternoon.
Police say two ATVs broke through the ice and three people ended up in the water.
When emergency responders arrived at the lake, two people were stranded on thin ice while a third was treading water. They say all of the parties were more than 300 feet from the shoreline and out of reach of rescuers. Boats were used to break through the ice and reach them.
A 64-year-old De Pere man was removed from the water and brought to shore by firefighters. He had been treading water for some time. He was transported by paramedics to Ministry Sacred Heart Hospital, then taken by Spirit Medical Helicopter to St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield.
The other two people involved, a 42-year-old De Pere man and his 13-year-old daughter, were also brought to shore by a fire department boat. They were checked by EMS and driven back to their cabin.
Authorities say the 64-year-old man was treated for hypothermia and released.
Lincoln County authorities say because the three put on their personal floatation devices it helped prevent further injury.
Authorities say none of the people involved were cited after the incident.
