Flash floods displace more than 100 residents
Muncy girls beat Williamson
Bigger classification, bigger girls, same result.
Playing at the Class AA level for the first time and playing against a front line that included two 6-footers, Muncy never buckled and never backed down Tuesday against Williamson. It kept fighting back, went ahead to stay on Charity Good's late 3-point play and clinched a thrilling 48-44 District 4 quarterfinal win at Williamsport when Jordan Jones swished both ends of a 1-and-1 with 17 seconds remaining.
Muncy might be the new kid on the Class AA block but it's two wins from capturing a championship. The Indians (17-6) are semifinal bound for a third straight year and next face top-seeded Mount Carmel.
"We want to come out and make a name for ourselves," said Muncy guard Brianna McLaughlin, who scored 15 points and was huge defensively. "It's our first time ever in Double A and we're sort of the underdogs because we're a smaller school and it's a good thing when you can fight for the wins."
Muncy certainly did that in an exciting game that featured 13 lead changes, including five in the fourth quarter. Williamson (17-6) led with 90 seconds remaining before Good rebounded a Jones missed 3-pointer that went in and out. She shot it over a 6-footer, swished it and then hit the ensuing foul shot, giving Muncy a 45-44 lead.
McLaughlin then forced a turnover, Jones hit a foul shot and McLaughin grabbed a rebound off a missed jumper. Jones then went to the line again. The crowd was roaring, but Jones was clutch, draining both shots and sealing the win.
"We were confident," McLaughlin said. "We knew she would make them."
Muncy trailed by as many as five in the third quarter but never wilted. Williamson captured the NTL-West championship behind 6-foot-3 Lori Horton and 6-foot Kim Daugherty's spectacular seasons. Both played well again, but Muncy held that duo to 21 combined points, 12 below their season average. Good is Muncy's tallest player at 5-9 and her sister Crystal is 5-6, but both were outstanding inside and combined for 13 rebounds.
McLaughlin, Jones and Gina Paisley also were instrumental to the defensive performance because all three hounded Williamson's guards and made it hard for them to get the ball inside to Horton and Daugherty. They combined for eight steals and helped force 23 turnovers.
"Brianna and Jordan up front and Gina out there with them with their speed and the way they played all year we knew we had a little advantage there tonight," Muncy coach Craig Weaver Jr. said. "We really attacked that and had the girls going up and pressuring the ball as much as we could. Watching film, we knew where we had to be and the girls put themselves in the right spots."
Paisley came up big offensively too, hitting three 3-pointers. Each one came at a key time and helped Muncy stay within striking distance. Her final 3-pointer answered one by Jamie Cook and pulled Muncy within two late in the third quarter right when it seemed like Williamson was taking control.
The teams were tied 34-34 after three quarters and the fourth went back and forth with Daugherty (12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals) putting Williamson ahead 43-42 on a putback with 2:25 remaining. Horton (9 points, 14 rebounds, 7 blocks) added a free throw 32 seconds later before Good converted the huge 3-point play and put Muncy ahead to stay.
Cheyenne Jones scored 12 points for Williamson while Jones again did a little bit of everything. The junior guard had 11 points, 6 assists and five rebounds.
Jordan Jones 3 4-6 11, Brianna McLaughlin 7 0-0 15, Crystal Good 3 0-0 6, Charity Good 3 1-1 7, Gina Paisley 3 0-1 9, Allison Edwards 0 0-0 0. Totals 19 5-8 48.

I got to thinking about all the many aspects of St. Tammany's entertainment scene for which I'm thankful. Just this week, I heard a dynamite blues jam being hosted by Smoky Greenwell at a new club in Slidell. Greenwell, from the '70s band War, moved from his signature harmonica to saxophone as the house band played a set that included War's famous song "Low Rider" from their 1975 album "Why Can't We Be Friends" to a smokin' version of the "Peter Gunn Theme" and one of Greenwell's originals, "Between Iraq and a Hard Place, New Orleans USA" from the Smoky CD of the same name.
Musicians filtered in throughout the evening to sit in and sound good with the house band at the Landlubbers Pub & Club at 3606 Pontchartrain Drive. Greenwell said the free jam is Wednesdays from 8:30 p.m. to midnight. In December, it will change to a 7 p.m. start time. There's a sign-up sheet, and about nine musicians had turned up to play that night, owner Dane Kennedy said.
Kennedy said he opened the club for people to have a place to hear the "real blues." He said it's a nonsmoking venue, and the emphasis is on the entertainment. "To me, it's like a little theater, not a barroom," he said. Kennedy is especially proud to be endorsed as an affiliate location of the New Orleans Blues Society.
Kennedy plans to expand the music entertainment beginning in December. There's no cover charge except for special acts.
First up is singer-songwriter and Grammy Award-winner Greg Barnhill. The Nashville songwriter is from Slidell and recently played on stage with Faith Hill's performance of "Come Home" on the Country Music Awards.
Barnhill will play Landlubbers on Friday with special guest Reed Lightfoot. The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are $8.
For information, call 641.9218.
Thankful for bluesmen
Johnny Sansone is thankful to "have lived when bluesmen walked the earth." Starting at age 16, and in the early '70s, Sansone sought them out so he could hear "those who invented the sound," the blues harmonica legends of old.
One of those he followed growing up is Greg "Fingers" Taylor. He first went to hear him at the Bottom Line in New York City where Taylor was playing with Jimmy Buffett. He couldn't stay for the second set to talk to him "because I had to get my mom's car back," Sansone said. But Taylor wrote down some ideas and music he thought Sansone should listen to that started him on the harmonica.
"I studied with Fingers" Sansone said. The two will reunite and be joined by RJ Mischo, Greg Izor and other special guests for an all-star blues showcase at the Covington Blues Christmas Music Fest on Saturday. There's a free concert at 5:30 p.m. at the Covington Trailhead, 419 N. New Hampshire St.
Sansone said the sound is coming full circle. He said Izor arrived from Austin to study at the University of New Orleans and called Sansone because he wanted to study with him. "It sounded funny, but he wasn't kidding."
"It's amazing to see the sound go through to the next generation," Sansone said. It takes a long time for harp players "to get their own sound" and you can hear who influenced them early on.
He said Mischo is a contemporary and that they've traveled the same circuits in Europe. "He's one of the world-class players right now," he said.
Sansone will be giving out free harmonica's from Hohner to the first 200 youths who applied online at firstname.lastname@example.com.
But before the youths get the harps, they are going to hear what the instruments sounds like when played and get pointers on how to treat them as instruments, not toys.
Sansone said if one harp player walks up to him 15 years from now and says he got his start at the Blues Christmas, he'll be thankful.
Thankful for Christmas music
I am thankful that the choirs and soloists already are preparing to sing the glories of the Christmas season. Kitty Cleveland of Mandeville recently announced three Christmas concerts in St. Tammany Parish. Dates are Sunday, 6:30 p.m at St. Peter Catholic Church, 125 E. 19th Ave. in Covington; Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, 312 Lafitte St. in Mandeville; and Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, 28088 Main St. in Lacombe.
Cleveland has eight CDs, including a new children's CD. The concerts are free. For information, visit www.kittycleveland.com or call 504.559.8076.
New Orleans Musica da Camera will present Natus Est, A Christmas Celebration with Vox Feminae on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Saint Joseph Abbey Church near Covington. For information, visit www.nomdc.org or call 504.895.1972.
Instrumentalists join the voices of Vox Feminae in performing holiday music that spans the centuries from Medieval France, Germany and Spain, Renaissance England and early 20th century American folk music.
The bells, tambourines and drums, the lively dances and rhythmic songs frequently heard in performances of very old Christmas music, lend an air of festivity that contrast with the more formal music associated with the season.
Thankful for free concerts
I'm thankful that some who got their start here, come back. That will be true when the city of Mandeville wraps up its fall Free Sunday Concert Series on Sunday with Amanda Shaw at the Mandeville Trailhead Amphitheater, 675 Lafitte St.
Many in St. Tammany have seen Shaw grow up performing at festivals and events.
The concert begins at 4:30 p.m. For information, call 985.624.3147 or visit www.cityofmandeville.com or www.mandevilletrailhead.org.
I'm thankful I still have a lot more live entertainment to enjoy in St. Tammany Parish.

US warns North Korea diplomacy can't 'drag on forever'
AFP | March 21, 2005
The White House warned Monday that diplomatic efforts to defuse the crisis over North Korea's nuclear programs cannot "drag on forever" and urged Pyongyang to return to negotiations.
"The United States put forward a very practical proposal at the last round of talks. We want to see results to moving forward on that proposal. We want to see North Korea come back to the talks," said spokesman Scott McClellan.
His comments came after US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned during a visit to China that North Korea faced "problems" if it failed to return to the talks and that Washington was looking at "other options."
At the same time, Rice stressed: "We have no intention to attack."
"Secretary Rice was saying what we've said, the time to come back to the talks is now. She expressed that this could not drag on forever; we need to resolve this issue," said McClellan.
The United States has ruled out separate bilateral discussions with North Korea outside the context of six-party talks that also group China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea.
North Korea has boycotted the six-party talks since last June, following three inconclusive rounds, and has often demanded separate, bilateral talks with Washington to resolve the standoff.
The six-party talks aim to persuade the North to give up its nuclear weapons program in exchange for diplomatic and economic benefits.
North Korea last took part in the talks in June 2004. It declared on February 10 that it has nuclear weapons and that it was indefinitely suspending its participation in the dialogue.
A senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed concern over what he called "a decided lack of movement" in the talks and difficulty in reading North Korea's intentions.
"I think we're concerned that as this drags on, the threat is not being reduced, and that gives a certain sense of urgency to what we are trying to accomplish," the official said.
But he added, "We're not yet at the point where we believe that the six-party talks is anything but the preferred way to go."

Range Description
This species was described from an inexact locality in the âCape of Good Hopeâ and shows a narrow distribution along the dry to arid south-western coastline of South Africa, from Bloubergstrand on the northern outskirts of Cape Town to Port Nolloth in Namaqualand, close to the Namibian border (Harrison et al. 2003). The estimated extent of occurrence of this species lies between 13,750 and 22,150 km2, the latter accounting for sea area, the former subtracting sea area as areas of unsuitable habitat. It is likely to have a more restricted area of occupancy of probably no more than 3,000 km2 based on the area of relatively intact habitat in the centre of this species' range.

Signing For Dummies, 2nd Edition
384 pages
May 2012
American Sign Language (ASL) is something we've all seen deaf people use in restaurants, hospitals, airports, and at work. The communication is fascinating to watch; to see people sharing ideas by using handshapes and body language is remarkable in a world so defined by sound. This new edition of Signing For Dummies gives you a general understanding of the properties of Sign, as well as an understanding of deaf culture. Designed to act as an introduction or a refresher, the book focuses solely on ASL, which is the most commonly used sign language in the United States.
Categorized by subject, this illustrated guide covers grammar and sentence structure, along with the tools to get you going in basic conversation by knowing how to introduce and greet people; ask questions and make small talk; order food and chat with salespeople; handle medical emergencies; talk on the phone; get around town for fun or business; and much more. Plus, it stresses how ASL isn't just about using your fingers, hands, and arms, but also about facial expression and body language.
- More than 25 percent new and revised content, including the latest technological advances for the deaf; contact signing, code mixing, code switching, interpreting as a profession, and regionalism in signing
- Packed with "Fun & Games" sections that invite you to practice specific signs
- Hundreds of illustrations throughout, plus a video CD featuring demonstrations by ASL signers showing actual conversations
Signing For Dummies is the fast and fun way to get you moving your hands, body, and face to convey meaning that reaches beyond linguistic barriers.

Local Democrats have put their support behind a candidate to replace a troubled state lawmaker on the ballot in November.
Lehigh County Democratic Chair Rick Daugherty says former Whitehall Township official Daniel McNeill has received the most votes Sunday to take Joe Brennan's spot.
The vote will now be sent to a state committee.
Brennan was officially removed from the Democratic race for the 133rd district seat last week.
He has been charged with assaulting his wife and driving under the influence.
Whoever is chosen will face Republican candidate Dave Molony.

A state lawmaker is drawing up a proposal that would give the top 10 percent of graduates at each of Michigan's high schools automatic admission to state universities.
The proposal is backed by Representative Rick Jones, a Republican from Grand Ledge. He wants action on the legislation by the end of the year.
Jones says Thursday the plan would give preference to Michigan students at the state's 15 public universities. He says the plan would give equal chance of admission to state universities for students from all Michigan communities.
A spokesman for a group representing Michigan's public universities says some schools will be opposed to the plan and that a blanket 10-percent approach would not work.

Source: .... Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871-1959 by Colin Webster - ISBN: 0764318683
In the mid 1880's the Argentine army was using the Remington Rolling Block Rifle, after which they switched to the Model 1891 Mauser and finally, the Model 1909. The 1909 Argentine Mauser was manufactured under contract by DWM in Germany for the Argentine government. It was also later produced in Agentine factories and it's built on the large ring Mauser 98 style action. It was made in 4 versions, the 1909 Rifle, the 1909 sniper, 1909 Cavalry, and the 1909 Mountain Carbine, each of the last three in limited numbers. The earlier model 1891 rifle made by DWM or Lowe of Germany, was small ring Mauser almost identical to turk 1890. On the model 1909, besides the larger ring for strength, the extractors were improved, as well as improving the gas porting and adding a third safety lug on the bolt.

Art Description
Drawing: Pencil on Paper.
During the 1970's and '80s Greece was one of the most popular destinations for scandinavian tourists. However, due to a low level tourism that was largely attracted from the country's cheap promotional message (Greece is bouzouki, syrtaki, souvlaki & tzatziki) in combination to a cheap improvisation on everything, on the side of the hosts, and the lack of appropriate infrastructure, the outcome was a negative one on the long run.
We should not forget the great ecological devastation that took place in the name of tourism like the damage of beautiful beaches, deforestation of large surfaces for building land and filling of archeological sites with debris.
The FemaleTourist is also deliberately staged in a certain way, in order to resemble a tourist photograph. The initial bitter mood is covered with sarcastic humor that satirizes the negative sum of greek tourism.

Balie Rose, 10, Clay, caught her first largemouth bass recently on the Oneida River, fishing with her father and twin sister, McKenna.
Her father, Mike Rose, wrote: "My youngest daughters have been bugging me to take them out fishing since April. After purchasing them Zebco 202 combo's Saturday afternoon we headed out. They are 10 now so the Snoopy poles had to go.
"I took them to an area on the Oneida River that holds a plenty good amount of panfish in the spring and summer. After a few sunfish and some small crappie, Baylie hooked and landed her first largemouth bass. She was using the basic worm and bobber.
"I wanted Baylie to ' lip' the fish for the photo, but she was afraid the bass would bite her."

I have a female friend who repeatedly gets mad at me for no real reason- all of a sudden- BAM! I'm in the dog house????
It usually happens when there is a group of us out at the club or somewhere else. Everyone is having a conversation and such and then- before I know it, she is ready to hit me with a bat.
In replaying the last couple of instances, I have either been talking with or about a female outside of our group of friends.
It is supposed to be a platonic relationship- I am suspecting that she has different ideas. Am I in left field?

BROADALBIN -The Broadalbin-Perth boys basketball team clung to a slim two-point lead over Gloversville heading into the fourth quarter of Friday night's Foothills Council opener.
However, the Dragons shook off the rust from a 12-day layoff to pour in 21 fourth-quarter points to defeat the host Patriots for a 57-48 league win at Broadalbin-Perth High School.
"I think the 12-day lay off hurt us a little bit," Gloversville coach Mark Lefever said. "We were a little stale, a little flat early and weren't able to effectively press them. They did a good job avoiding our double teams and reversing the ball. We tried a couple of different presses on them but they did a good job. We caught fire in the fourth quarter and got a couple of big shots. It is amazing what a couple of good shots can do for you."

Gloversville (2-0 overall, 1-0 Foothills) took an early lead with Asa Barnhill hitting a pair of 3-pointers and two free throws for eight of the Dragons' 10 first-quarter points and a 10-7 advantage.
Broadalbin-Perth (3-2 overall, 0-1 Foothills) rallied in the second quarter with Connor Pingitore, Robbie VanBrocklin and Colby Hartz coming off the bench to account for 13 of the Patriots' 17 points to carry a 24-21 lead into the locker room at the half.
"Our focus all week was to get that second unit scoring," Broadalbin-Perth coach Tucker Gifford said. "Connor Pingitore, Colby Hartz and Robbie VanBrocklin came in and gave us that spark we needed to go up by three at the half. The other unit didn't get going and everybody is on notice that they better pick up their game a little bit."
The Patriots maintained their lead in the third quarter with with Jake Coveney netting five of B-P's nine third-quarter points, while the Dragons began building momentum for their fourth-quarter run behind a defense that forced four third-quarter turnovers.
Barnhill's 3-pointer 30 seconds into the final quarter gave the Dragons their first lead, 34-33, since B-P went ahead with 2:07 left in the second quarter.
Coveney hit a free throw to tie the game, but the Dragons responded with and Barceem Dukes converting from the free-throw line and a pair of 3-pointers from Keyshawn Arnold and one from Scholl to push the score to 44-36.
Gloversville made 10 of 15 free throws in the final period, including a 6-for-8 performance from the line by James Scholl who netted nine of the Dragons' fourth-quarter points to secure the victory.
"Doc [Scholl] had a great game for us tonight and hit some clutch shots," Lefever said. "I thought the first half we did not play anywhere near the level I thought we should have played. But we seemed to be able to turn it on quickly, like we did in the fourth quarter. The second half we stayed in half-court man and dug in to get some stops. We tried to push and create opportunities off the break."
Scholl finished with 17 points and eight rebounds, seven of which came in the first half. Barnhill finished with 17 points, while Arnold had 14 and nine rebounds and Dukes nine rebounds and nine points. Hunter Goodwin also pulled down nine rebounds for Gloversville.
Coveney paced the Patriots with eight points and 11 rebounds, while VanBrocklin and Andre Taylor had eight points apiece and Hartz added nine rebounds and seven points.
"It was intense and was nip-and-tuck the whole way until the fourth quarter," Gifford said. "Then we gave up the threes and they found a rhythm. I think we gave up way to many offensive rebounds and they got two looks almost every single time and you are not going to win games like that. For the most part [our zone] did slow them. You have to hit outside shots to beat a zone and eventually they did. What we needed to do was respond to that."
Gloversville will play its first home game of the season Tuesday when it hosts Glens Falls, while Broadalbin-Perth will host Queensbury on Wednesday.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- City-based Bruno Event Team is now international as it will run the inaugural Manulife Financial LPGA Classic in Waterloo, near Toronto, on June 21-24.
Gene Hallman, president and CEO of Bruno Event Team, noted that his company was also in the early stages of discussions regarding an LPGA event in Switzerland, possibly the week before the Evian Masters.
"This (an international event) is a significant milestone for our company," Hallman said.
The Bruno Event Team staged both LPGA events in Alabama this year (Navistar and Avnet), plus the U.S.
Women's Open. It has managed 18 USGA national championships, plus the Regions Tradition and two other Champions Tour events, and will manage next year's BMW Championship on the PGA Tour.
It has grown to 70-plus employees with 10 offices across North America.
Q School
Qualifying School is now in full swing, with a number of players with local ties involved.
For many hopefuls, it is a four-stage process. The following players with state connections made it through pre-qualifying: Cole Moreland, Marc Bussieres, Gator Todd, Daniel Burns, Glenn Northcutt, Danny Forshey, Clark Brown, Zach Primavera, Wade Binfield and Matt Hughes. Mason Crumpler, Jeff Champion, William Golden, Cole Willis and Matt McNutt did not advance.
On to first stage. The first wave of first-stage qualifiers was played last week, with the rest continuing this week. Those advancing to second state thus far are Todd, Northcutt, Chris Devlin, Nick Rousey, Jimmy Brandt, Ben Briscoe, Will Claxton, Reid Edstrom, Patton Kizzire, Zach Sucher, Scott Weatherly and Lee Williams. Bussieres, Binfield, Brown, Burns, Primavera, Gordon Strother, Matthew Swan, Payton Osborn and Garrett Osborn did not advance.
At first stage this week are Josh Geary, Ryan Gildersleeve, Moreland, Hughes, Forshey, Todd Bailey, Chip Deason, David Miller and Pope Spruiell.
There are 13 first-stage venues, followed by six second- stage locations and then the finals, which will be held Nov. 30-Dec. 5.
Johnny Caldwell, Gildersleeve and Devlin made it through the first stage for European Tour "Q" school.
The Nationwide Tour concludes its season this week with Gary Christian eighth on the money list and a lock for his PGA Tour card next year. Hoping to join him in the all-important top 25 are Brett Wetterich (currently 26th), Josh Broadaway (27th) and Will Wilcox (40th).
Camilla Lennarth, Karlin Beck and Cydney Clanton have advanced to the final stage of LPGA Tour qualifying and will hope to join Kathleen Ekey, who earned her card by leading the Futures Tour money list, on tour next year. Rhea Nair, Jordan Hardy and Ashley Cox did not advance.
Champions Tour regional qualifying also continues this week with Ben Bates, Larry Miller, Robert Nelson, Frank Shikle and Gary Trivisonno teeing it up.

The stock LOCK is moving up very nicely--but before considering it read the important "news" as to why, and why President Clinton and the entire national law enforcement establishment are excited about this very new and unique gun safety equipment!
Some joker is posting on all the internet sites. Ignor this junk as it has nothing to do with ABT. Be careful when reading stuff like this and research before you buy.
I agree, anyone who is considering listening to this guy deserves whatever they get!!!!Research you own stocks you'll be better off

Editorial assistant Nariman Jiries interviewed Gary Gerst, who is the new principal at Waterman Elementary School.
Name: Gary Gerst is 41 and lives in Skaneateles.
Tell me about your family: My beautiful wife, Lynda, and I just celebrated our 10-year anniversary and we have three incredible kids. Nathan is 9, Thomas is 7 and our daughter, Addison, is 4.
Educational background: I went to State University College at Geneseo and received a business degree and went back to Syracuse University to get my master's degree in elementary education.
How did you feel when you got this job? It was absolutely surreal. I could not actually believe it was true until I came to work the first day on July 2.
What do you like best about being a principal? I measure a day of success by how much I can get into classrooms because I learn so much from the students and teachers. Taken as a whole, I love the constant interaction with students, teachers and parents. It is important that I enjoy this because in the end, this communication is critical for student success.
Tell me about your experience in the school system? I actually started my education right at the building I am the principal at. I graduated from Skaneateles in 1990. When I graduated from Syracuse, I earned my first teaching position in fifth, filling in for a full year because of a teacher on maternity leave at State Street School in Skaneateles where I also went when I was younger. No positions were available in Skaneateles, so I got a job as a fourth-grade teacher in Fairport. At the end of the year there was a sixth-grade position that I applied for and got the job. So I taught sixth grade for four years and then seventh and eighth for 2½ years. When I started teaching in the middle school, I also was going to Syracuse University to get my advanced degree so that I could go into administration.
How long were you a teacher? I was a teacher 8½ years because I did my internship full-time for half a year.
Why did you choose a career in education? I actually received a degree in business, but ever since I was in high school I thought about going into teaching. When I got to my senior year in college I realized that I did not just want to do something I liked for the rest of my life, I wanted to do something I loved. I knew that career would be education and luckily for me ... I love my job.
What do you like best about the Skaneateles community? I like that Skaneateles is a tight-knit community that values educational excellence. It is easy for me to know that because I lived it by graduating from Skaneateles, saw it when I was teaching and my two sons now are in school here.
What is your key philosophy in life? That family comes first and "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" (my favorite book) because if you do not, then you will not be able to enjoy your family or work. It is so hard to do.
What do you enjoy the most working with elementary school children? Definitely the energy level of the students at this age! They are sponges and want to learn everything they can. The best part of the day is when they are coming into school ... the kids always give me a high five and a smile.
Who inspired you the most in your life? My sister, Christine, has been my biggest inspiration. She is multi-handicapped and the youngest of seven children. She cannot talk and needs assistance eating, walking and using the bathroom. Christine is always happy and whenever I am around her she grounds me and not because she is special needs but because of who she is. Of course, my parents for all they have done for me, and it has been inspirational to see how they take care of my sister, Christine.
Describe your personality: I think I am approachable and like to have fun no matter what I do.
What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far? Finding my wife, Lynda.
What kind of books do you like to read? I love to read Educational Magazine and books, and also like to read memoirs.
What do you do in your spare time? Anything that has to do with my family and to play a little golf when I have time.
What is the best advice you ever heard? To live in the present.
What are you passionate about? How students learn.
What would you say to a child that got sent to the principal's office? The most important thing for me is for students to tell the truth. So I always ask, "What happened?" Typically I know, so I guide them to telling me what exactly happened.
What advice do you have for children about their education? To always do your best ... that is all we can ask as educators.
What is the one thing that you hope your students will always remember from this school? I know the students coming out of Waterman will always remember their teachers not only for what they learned, but early life lessons that will help them be better children when they go to third grade.

Even during a leisurely activity such as watching a movie at home, Chip Kelly can't stop thinking of ways to improve his football program.
As he watched the film, "Heaven and Earth," recently, the first-year Oregon coach came up with an idea to help his quarterbacks throw through defenders.
In the film, Kelly took note of a scene involving samurai soldiers using vertical flags in combat for identification reasons. Kelly then helped create similar "samurai flag" devices to use in practice and simulate the reach of tall defensive linemen.
During both of Oregon's practices Friday, student managers attached the apparatuses to their backs and lined up on defense.
"That's exactly the height of (6-foot-4 defensive end) Will Tukuafu with his arms extended," Kelly said. "Especially when you have a couple quarterbacks that aren't 6-4 or 6-5, you've got to throw the ball through lanes. Now you've got to have vision. 'I got to put it either here or here, I can't throw it directly there.' What we're trying to do is simulate the game as best we can."
Though the additional practice accessories surprised a few of the players, they've quickly learned to trust Kelly.
"At first, I was like, 'Wow, what is that?'" sophomore receiver Lavasier Tuinei said. "You definitely don't see that very often. But it was a pretty neat idea and I think it helped the quarterbacks out. I trust that all of his ideas will work."
No detail is too small for Kelly when it comes to his practices. He tries to maximize every minute of each session, getting in as many game-related plays as he can.
"We've got everything charted," Kelly said. "What percentage those things happen in a game, then your practice should match that. So if a third down is going to happen 32 percent of a game then 32 percent of your practice should be dedicated to third downs."

On May 8, the Mayor commissioned an ECONorthwest report (via the Mercury) on the Economic Impact of Proposed Baseball Stadium.
The ECONorthwest report has two primary implications (not conclusions): that the Lents stadium will create fewer jobs, not more; and that "stadiums are best justified as enhancements of consumer choice, not as economic or development engines."
According to the report's background section they essentially had one day to complete the report.
Their analysis was provided to the city on May 12. It wasn't until the Mercury obtained the report on May 26 that the public knew anything.
Let's see an elected official using public funds for a public report and it was almost kept a secret.
There is some speculation as to how the Mercury obtained the report. Protecting their sources are they?
In the Wednesday Mercury's Blogtown the question was:Why was the report rushed through in 24 hours, but then sat on for two weeks? Of course, the Mercury knew the answer: ". . . the mayor's office didn't like the findings . . ."
You think? If there had been a hint of support for the mayor's position it would have been an immediate release to the media. Keeping Mr. Leonard out of the loop - plausible denial?
[See my April post Asked and answered where there is a discussion of several reports whose conclusions are the same as the implications in the ECONorthwest Report.]
Ahead of the curve was the Oregonian. See the Dennis Coates study referenced in the April 17th article "Paulson, MLS, and economic impact."
"Paulson's team has also highlighted this study that states point blank that research shows that new sports teams or stadiums have little to no economic impact on their communities."
Arguably, since Paulson knew about this study so too the mayor and certainly Mr. Leonard who has been working hand and hand with Paulson et al.
It is not too difficult to surmise that the ECONorthwest report was commissioned to hopefully counter balance the weight of evidence embodied in these other public reports.
And, it is not too difficult to surmise that the Adams-Leonard game plan was that if the report supported the mayor's position - shout it out to the tree tops; if not - sit on it under the guise of a need to vet.
The mayor's chief of staff disingenuously didn't grasp an elemental point in the report - loss of opportunity.
If you use urban renewal dollars for the baseball park, those dollars are taken away from other opportunities, e.g., affordable housing.
It has nothing to do with collection of taxes in the Lents urban renewal district. [See the Mercury].
There is obviously a need for a thorough independent analysis of the economic and non-economic impact of the baseball park.
Rather than running around like an over caffeinated child - the mayor and Mr. Leonard could have easily obtained a decent report in the time that has gone by. Look what ECONorthwest did in one day.
It is rather easy to surmise that they are aware of negative aspects of the stadium and that it was hoped, even expected, to gather public opinion to their side before the facts became self-evident.
It calls into question the sincerity and commitment to the citizens of Portland.
To continue on with this project in the face of overwhelming evidence against the public financing of the stadium is not leadership - it is obstinance.

The head of a Maryland company disqualified from bidding on a Medicaid contract in Arkansas complained Monday that the state relied too much on the knowledge that Louisiana had terminated a similar contract and didn't take into account the firm's performance in other states.
Officials with Client Network Services Inc., or CNSI, told a legislative hearing they believed the company was unfairly disqualified from bidding for the state's Medicaid Management Information Systems contract.
State finance officials in July told the firm it was considered a "non-responsible" vendor and would not be considered for the claims processing contract.
"We believe that removal of CNSI from the competitive pool of bidders is not in the best interest of the state of Arkansas or its Medicaid beneficiaries because CNSI's solution offers the most technically advanced flexible and scalable MMIS solution available in the industry," Adnan Ahmed, the company's co-founder and president, told the Legislative Council's Hospital and Medicaid Study Subcommittee.
State finance officials said the firm was disqualified after they learned Louisiana had terminated a similar $200 million contract with the firm. Louisiana scrapped a 10-year Medicaid claims processing contract with CNSI on March 21 after details emerged about a federal subpoena seeking information about the contract award. The Louisana attorney general's office empaneled its own grand jury in May to look into possible criminal activity.
CNSI is suing Louisiana over that termination. Ahmed said Arkansas had ignored positive references from other states.
DFA Director Richard Weiss said he believed state procurement officials correctly followed procedure and noted that bidders' references were evaluated on a "pass/fail" basis. Weiss said the state is reviewing the remaining bids from three other firms.

Symbols are all we have to communicate with one another, to share our
ideas and feelings. Deeper still, they form a great part of how we talk
to ourselves, that is, how we think, process and summarise our ideas and
A symbol is like box with a label on it. You put things into it, you
carry the box around with you. The inside of the box is very personal and
hard enough to browse through on our own, but quite impossible to share
with anyone else. The box probably has other boxes in it, with labels on
them, other symbols that is, in which case we can pull them out and share
them around - the labels anyhow, the boxes remain mysterious. It's only
labelled boxes we have for sharing, the insides are impenetrably personal.
Even the labels on boxes within boxes are obscured to us forcing us to
look long and hard to decipher them! The outer box obscures everything
Why every word you use is a symbol, nothing more, nothing less. Much
art deals with symbols, ultimately becomes symbolic even if it stood in
defiance of our addiction to symbols. Religion deals with symbols, in ways
very much more profound than most would imagine. Zen is a religion dedicated
to both the attack on and appreciation of symbols.
I love symbols. They allow me to pack a whole lot of feeling and idea
into a small box, pass it on to someone else for them to unpack in their
own way. Of course they can't unpack it can they? The insides are quite
personal. Therein lies the beauty and danger of symbols. They can only
read the label and infer what's inside, project their experiences, expectations,
dreams and desires into the box, with the label as a guide.
We can help them a little. We look inside our own box, mull around a
little, and pull out many smaller boxes, all with labels of their own.
"Ah," the receiver of boxes says, "that's what you meant!". But the little
boxes remain as mysterious as the box they were in, only their labels are
open to us, the insides remain mysterious and obscure. As ever we project
our own experiences into the little boxes as best we can, with the labels
as guides.
This goes on, and on and the boxes get smaller and smaller but no less
personal and obscure. That's the game of communication, the exchange of
symbols, bouncing back and forth between us. As they bounce they pick up
meaning, shared meaning, the glimmer of understanding. It's fraught with
danger, it's enticing, it's hard work, it's fun, everything about communication
is symbolism at work. Symbolism and projection.
Enjoy the symbols around you and learn how to use them and life will
be that much more worthwhile.

7 Things That Should Be Banned On The Internet
I had this weird dream last night. I had been booked to appear on Oprah with both my dogs for reasons that weren't absolutely clear.
She was telling me how much she loved my blog although she thought I ought to swear a lot more.
"Oh, I'm not really sure about that" I said "Some people get offended by a swearing Life Coach"
"Really?" she said with a wink of an eye, and then turned to the audience and said:
"What do you fuckers think, should Tim swear more or not?"
A huge roar of "YES!" came back from the people watching and Oprah smiled knowingly at me.
She then said "Tim, we think you should start running the Internet as of now and be able to do anything you want with it. So what would you like to do?"
I licked my lips in anticipation and was about to answer when the dogs started going nuts and launched themselves at Ms. Winfrey. Oh shit I thought, I hope they don't kill her that will be terrible for business.
At that point I woke up and realized there was an armadillo in the backyard and the hounds had sniffed out the little fella and wanted a scaly breakfast. I also realized rather sadly, that I didn't in fact own the Internet.
But what if I did, what would I do on first day at the office?
Keeping the theme of rampant negativity from last weeks A.O.B. I decided I'd like to kick off by banning stuff! And this would be the stuff I'd ban.
1. Pop Ups Should Be Banned On The Internet
In a brief moment of insanity I came within a kippers dick of installing a pop up myself last week. I was a victim of social proof and figured if everybody else is annoying the fuck out of each other with pop ups, I should annoy the fuck out of people too, right?
Wrong, wrong, and thrice wrong.
I know they get more people to sign up for your newsletter, but do they actually get more people to read your newsletter? Yeh, they probably do actually.
I've stopped reading some blogs because I'm sick of sitting there waiting for the bloody pop up to appear so I can close it and start reading what I want to read. Why not just put a gun to my head march me to my bank to make a withdrawal?
2. Saying 'Great Post' In Comments
If you say 'Great post' in the comments of a blog it bloody well better be a great post.
Great means great you know. There was only one Alexander the Great, I'm not aware of a Bob the Great or a Frank the Great. He was called great because he never lost a battle, not because he had a fairly popular blog and people liked to suck up to him.
If you say 'Great post' you better prepared to back it up with some facts and show me a list of the greatest posts ever written with some market research and focus group activity to back it up or I shall be forced to have you shot.
3. What I Learned Posts
"7 Things I Learned From My Dad When He Farted Because He Was Laughing So Much When My Gran Fell Out Of Her Rocking Chair" or "What My Younger Self Learned From My Older Self About Quantum Physics When I Was In The Womb Playing Scrabble" are no longer acceptable.
I suppose you may have learned that patience is a virtue whilst stood in the Post Office behind a 104 year old man that insists on telling the assistant about the time he got hit by mustard gas at The Somme. Or that death is inevitable after watching your goldfish float serenely to the top of its bowl bereft of life. But I doubt it, so quit it.
4. Automatic DM's on Twitter
Let's not mince words, on the official 'Lame Scale' I just made up, sending somebody an automatic response saying, "Thanks for the follow, I'm looking forward to your tweets" is right up alongside asking a celebrity to follow you on Twitter, as premium lame.
We all know the same message goes to everybody so not only it is impersonal, but you're telling spammers how much you are looking forward to being spammed, weirdos how much you're looking forward to them being weird and perverts how much you are looking forward to being perverted.
I'm pretty sure nobody sits there thinking,
"Wow, I'm so pumped at the thought of reading a random tweet at some indeterminate time in the future by some person who I don't know on a topic I have no interest in"
On the other hand if I'm wrong and you do, just send a personal tweet to tell them and then go and book yourself some life coaching.
5. Announcing Your Location on Twitter
Don't take offense because I know you're a lovely person, but I really don't give a rats or any other random rodents ass if you're in a coffee shop, a shopping mall or a quandary.
Unless you're a close friend or family member I don't need to know. Then again if you're a close friend or family member I probably already know, or I can at least ring you up to find out if it means that much to me.
The only people that really care where you are, are stalkers and people that send out auto DM's telling you how much you're looking forward to your tweets.
6. Posting Photos On Twitter
I have very little will power when it comes to clicking on links, especially when people tease me by saying something like "Wow, this is absolutely amazing" Like a sheep that's had a lobotomy I'm clicking the link to check out what it is that's so amazed somebody.
Then I get this huge dopamine crash when I'm taken to a picture of a cat playing with a fucking ball of string! I'm not going to ban this outright, but if you tell me something's amazing it better be amazing!
At the very minimum I want to see Krakatoa erupting, a snake eating a house or Sarah Palin looking sane. No pictures of your dad eating grapes, 6 inches of snow on the ground in January in Buffalo, and definitely no, I repeat no, kittens. And I don't care how cute they are!
7. List Posts
Ok, so technically this has been a list post, but that's not the point, because I'm banning them for everybody else except me.
Nine times out of 10 a list post just tells people you haven't got a clue what you're talking about or you're just too lazy to construct a proper post.
So what do you think? Have I been tad unfair to some really nice people or are you on board for some Orwellian action?
Let me know what you'd like to ban (even if it's opinionated Life Coaches writing posts that have nothing to do with Life Coaching) and we can start plotting together to take over the Internet, after all, how hard can it be?

Photographs found on Staten Island shores in the wake of Hurricane Sandy
Black-and-white images of generations gone by, children smiling from amusement rides during the heyday of a shoreline swept away, baby announcements, communions, dance recitals, school portraits, weddings, the simple joy of tearing through the wrapping paper on Christmas morning.
All of life's most precious moments captured by the camera's lens.
"I don't know who they are, but if I lost everything, pictures would be the one thing I wish I could have," said Steven LoBaido, a Dongan Hills resident who has become a keeper of sorts to hundreds of photos washed ashore at Cedar Grove Beach.
LoBaido was taking a break from salvaging the home of his wife's aunt and uncle on Cedar Grove Avenue when he saw volunteers sifting though so much of Sandy's debris.
He approached Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-East Shore/Brooklyn) who organized the clean-up and she immediately went block-by-block with a megaphone asking the volunteers to preserve all photos, and any other valuables, found amid the rubble.
Pretty soon, the volunteers, many of them students, were delicately carrying the photos to LoBaido as he stood with his wife, Stephanie Traina LoBaido, in front of the wreckage that had been her family's home for 65 years.
"It was very emotional," he said.
Not knowing what to do with the collection, LoBaido turned to Daniel Cassella, his union president. Cassella offered him empty space in the hall of Local 26, Amalgamated Transit Union, at 3948 Amboy Rd. in Great Kills, to store the photos.
For three days, LoBaido's family painstakingly organized them in what almost seemed like a timeline of life on Staten Island, laying them out on wooden tables -- black-and-white separated from color -- and drying them with hair blowers.
"Happy faces, that's what I was seeing," LoBaido said of the images. "Pictures aren't on people's minds right now, but I think in a couple of weeks, it might hit them and it might bring happiness to these people. I just hope that one photo will make one person happy."
Ms. Malliotakis said dozens of other photographs, along with things like trophies and diplomas, were collected along the shorelines of the East Shore beaches.
She expects to display them in the coming months, possibly at New Dorp High School, at a time when things "somewhat get back to normal."
"Their houses have been destroyed, they lost everything," Ms. Malliotakis said. "A photo may be the only memory they have. We want to get them to their rightful owners. It is something very special we can do."
Meanwhile, the Advance received an envelope in the mail containing 13 photos -- tattered, water-stained, sand still clinging to curled edges.
But with faces so clear.
A newborn with a tuft of brown hair wearing a nautical-themed onesie; another dated Feb. 4, 1997, picturing two girls standing in a cloud-covered field; a smiling young couple leaning on the hood of an old car; a toddler in her Christmas pajamas; a woman in a pink dress standing at a church's altar and another sunning herself in a red bathing suit.
Inside the envelope was a note from the unknown sender: "These pictures were found on the beach at Wolfe's Pond Park on 10-30-12."

EAST LANSING -- It's football season again in East Lansing.
Michigan State welcomed 105 players back campus Friday for the official start of the 2014 preseason camp, the school announced.
"It's exciting to be back in preseason camp because it signifies a new beginning for the entire program, coaches and players alike," Spartans coach Mark Dantonio told the team's web site. "The key to the upcoming 2014 season is our ability to handle success while continuing to be grounded in our work ethic, discipline and focus. It starts here."
Those players participated in dorm check-in, freshman academic orientation, compliance and drug education meetings and a media workshop Friday. They were also scheduled to hold team meetings and a team dinner.
Players will take to the field for the first time Saturday at 10:05 a.m. for approximately two hours in helmets, jerseys and shorts.
"Saturday becomes your first install, first practice where we install various aspects and base things then we go out and practice those concepts and do it again, install more," Dantonio said this week at Big Ten media days."
The first practice with pads will be held Wednesday, Aug. 6.
"We try and get our offense in and our defense in during the first seven practices, 80 or 90 percent of who we are is going in," Dantonio said. "Not that it doesn't change a little bit, I think that's the norm. That's the norm that everybody does."
The Spartans' opener is Friday, Aug. 29 against Jacksonville State.

To the Editor:
In response to the Oct. 5 letter headlined, "Deptford band show warrants coverage," I am so happy to see someone finally putting into writing what I have often felt.
As a daily reader of this paper, I have rarely seen any coverage of the marching bands in our local area.
I am a band booster president, the mother of two musicians and also a wife of a very dedicated band director, who, for 20 years now, has given his heart and soul to the kids who join his marching band program. The parents involved in these programs would be so happy to see their children's efforts recognized as much as all of the athletic programs in South Jersey.
I also extend a invitation to the media to come and cover the Tournament Of Bands Chapter One Championships, which will be held on Oct. 24, at Williamstown High School at 2 p.m.
I look forward to seeing you at the show.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Provocative R&B singer K. Michelle, country-rock stalwart Charlie Daniels and county-rap duo the Lacs have been added to the concert calendar at Iron City in Birmingham.
Tickets for all three shows go on sale Friday, July 18, at 11 a.m. The artists will perform on the main stage, in an area that holds about 1,300 listeners. Mark your calendars for:
K. Michelle, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m., $42.50.
The R&B singer and reality TV star, 30, hit the charts with "Rebellious Soul," her 2013 debut for Atlantic Records. K. Michelle's songs focus on romance and relationships, and often involve sexual lyrics. Her radio singles include "V.S.O.P." and "Can't Raise a Man."
She also earned fame on VH1's "Love & Hip-Hop" and "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta." A spin-off series, "K. Michelle: My Life," is set to premiere in November.
Charlie Daniels Band, Nov. 13 at 8 p.m., $42.50.
Daniels, 77, has a recording career that dates back to 1971. He's a singer, songwriter, guitarist and fiddler, probably best known for a 1978 radio smash, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
Other signature songs include "Long Haired Country Boy," "Still in Saigon," "The Legend of Wooley Swamp" and "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye."
Daniels' music style is wide-ranging -- encompassing country, Southern rock, blues and gospel. His music catalog is vast, as well, including more than 30 studio albums as well as compilations, live discs and holiday records.
Daniels' most recent release, 2014's "Off the Grid: Doin' It Dylan," is a collection of Bob Dylan covers.
The Lacs, Aug. 15 at 8 p.m., $20.
The "hick hop" duo -- Clay "Uncle Snap" Sharpe and Brian "Rooster" King -- has six studio albums to its credit. The most recent? 2013's "Keep It Redneck." Their catalog includes singles such as "Field Party," "Let Your Country Hang Out," "Shindig," "Wylin'" and "Country Boy Fresh."
The band name, an abbreviation of "Loud Ass Crackers," reflects Sharpe and King's inclination for Southern rock and country, blended with hip-hop influences. The Lacs are signed to Backroad Records, a subsidiary of Average Joes Entertainment.
Tickets for Iron City's concerts can be purchased via the venue website. A limited number of paper tickets are available at Seasick Records in Avondale, 4513 Fifth Ave. South, and the Wheelhouse Salon in Homewood, 2904 Linden Ave. For more info, call the venue at 205-202-5483.

Not so fast.
Daisuke Matsuzaka's throwing session Saturday was halted after just a few pitches, when the Boston Red Sox right-hander reported stiffness in his neck.
A Red Sox media spokesman said the session lasted "five or six pitches.''
There is no timetable for Matsuzaka to try again. When he will be able to pitch in a regular spring training game is also less clear than ever.
Matsuzaka was 4-6 with a 5.76 ERA last year. Shoulder problems sent him to the disabled list twice, and he has also had back problems.
Red Sox manager Terry Francona is keeping open his pitching options. With Friday's rainout against St. Louis, the Red Sox will stage a "B'' league game of five or six innings Saturday, with minor league players but some big league pitchers, after their regular game against Pittsburgh.
"We'll take a half-hour break in between, then run out some pitchers. This will catch us up, with no pitchers getting skpped.''
The Red Sox have split-spuad games - two per day - on March 16 and 22.
"There are a lot of innings to account, a lot of baseball to play.''

Yeah that's why it will fail horribly and Wii will have more fun additions that the PS3 will eventually want to copy tooOriginally Posted by chwisch87

Half the fun of Mii's is creating celebrities ... i have done a cool micheal jackson ... Sony has yet to realize why people are buying wii's and not their shitty systems.
omgd that is awesome if it is true!!!
ps3 own the mii channel..
Ok aside from an online gaming channel Nintendo will eventually launch this year, we are supposed to get a Mii graphics upgrade this year as well. I heard the Mii people will get even more features. The point is this won't cost the user more money. Sony needs Home, and games to bail itself out of the 10:1 units sold ratio they are at. But they need to keep it free!
well i think we ( nintendo ) should be able to get cloths and acsessories etc
its no surprise sony did this.
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.
this looks pretty cool, much better than miis even if it is a copy
Thanks to Pepper for the sig
I am leader of the Super Metroid fanclub
awww man, thats ****ing bollocks
I think everyone should STOP BASHING THE PS3! Your just mad because they came up with something better then the Mii channel

LISLE, Ill. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Fort Wayne's loss has become Lisle's gain as thousands of Navistar employees adjust to life nearly 200 miles away.
A recent article in the Lisle Patch says relocated Navistar employees have bought more than $50 million in Illinois real estate. But since the average home price in Allen County is more than $50,000 less than the average home price in Kendall County (where Lisle is), people are usually getting less bang for their buck.
Chicago's west suburbs come with some other differences as well. According to Karlie Baker, editor of the Lisle Patch, the former Fort Wayne residents were used to large property lots, big houses, and spacious garages.
Once the Navistar employees moved to Lisle and the surrounding areas, many were willing to put up with a longer commute in order to fulfill their home wish lists. Baker says a 45 minute commute wasn't a deterrent for people who wanted a rural setting.
While some employees might find adjusting to Illinois a challenge, the move has been a big boost for Illinois' real estate market. Of course, that just adds to the sting many are still feeling back in the Summit City.

After winning five games in a row the Nuggets must have thought they were automatically exempt from playing NBA-caliber teams for the rest of the season, because that's how they played tonight against the Jazz. It was embarrassing, for everyone involved — bust mostly the players and coaches.
|J.J. Hickson, PF 31 MIN | 8-9 FG | 5-6 FT | 10 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 2 BLK | 0 TO | 21 PTS | -8
Hickson did a nice job of rolling to the basket. He also displayed some great footwork down low and operated well in the post. But outside of a few big dunks I could hardly tell he was even in the game. Hickson is the only player I've ever watched who's stats ostensibly translate into nothing positive. I don't get it. It's also worth noting that his interior defense was awful and he did not box out very often.
|Kenneth Faried, PF 33 MIN | 5-7 FG | 1-4 FT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 0 TO | 11 PTS | -9
Faried's defense was a hot topic on Twitter. People seem to be fed up with his lackadaisical positioning and late rotations. I agree that his defense was awful (especially his closeouts), but it's not as if he didn't try. I couldn't even tell you how many times I saw him contest shots and rotate, but because of his stature he wasn't able to affect shots. That's just the life of a 6-7 power forward in the NBA.
|Quincy Miller, SF 21 MIN | 3-7 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 7 PTS | -15
Although he came out of the gates guns a blazin', Miller quickly cooled after the first quarter. The highlight of his night was a poster dunk on a few of the Jazz's big men.
|Ty Lawson, PG 44 MIN | 6-18 FG | 11-15 FT | 2 REB | 11 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 5 TO | 23 PTS | -15
Lawson did what we've come to expect. He had a really impressive game, not only because of his aggressiveness, but because he was diving for lose balls and rebounds, doing all the little things to try and help his team win.
|Randy Foye, SG 18 MIN | 4-8 FG | 1-2 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 10 PTS | -10
I ask yet again: Do the Nuggets go as Foye goes? Look at his numbers over his recent hot streak and compare them to the Nuggets' wins over that span. There is a pattern. The Nuggets need 3-point shooting to win just like every team in the NBA needs 3-point shooting to win. Foye has been their most prolific long-distance threat of the season. And as we've said many times here at RMC, when he's not hitting his shots, he's not helping his team very much. Sad but true.
|Wilson Chandler, SF 21 MIN | 4-10 FG | 2-3 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 12 PTS | -4
It took him a while to get going but once he knocked a few down Chandler was a positive asset to his team. However, his lack of aggression is still manifested almost every game.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 19 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 0 TO | 0 PTS | -16
This was unfortunate for Mozgov. He was not on his game at all and the Nuggets desperately needed him. He was the only frontcourt player who could even mildly contain the Jazz big men. This was just one of those games where he couldn't catch anything or score on anybody. That said, he should have logged more than 19 minutes. It's hard to understand why Faried and Hickson both logged at least 12 more minutes than he did.
|Nate Robinson, PG 17 MIN | 1-7 FG | 1-2 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 3 PTS | +3
Awful shots all around. It's great when Nate's on, but when he's off, he's really, really off.
|Evan Fournier, SG 37 MIN | 6-15 FG | 1-3 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 16 PTS | -1
Fournier had an insane dunk in the third quarter. I almost couldn't believe it was real. I didn't know he had that type of hops. Outside of that, he hit some threes and had some decent drives to the basket, but he also had some rookie turnovers that were pretty frustrating. I still think 37 minutes was a bit much for him.
|Brian Shaw
I don't hand out F grades that often, but I feel Shaw deserves it this time. This is the second game this season where the Nuggets have totally overlooked the Jazz. They should have learned the first time. Shaw should have known this was a potential trap game. Yet, the Nuggets weren't even remotely interested in playing basketball for three quarters. That's inexcusable. Also, his time distribution continues to be erratic and nonsensical. How exactly does Fournier log nearly 40 minutes this game and Foye only 18? Foye was still hot last I checked. And the Faried-Hickson frontcourt finally cost the Nuggets a game. Shaw has been playing with fire the entire season and it finally caught up with him. Let's just hope he's not a glutton for punishment and will learn from this burn.
Three Things We Saw
- The Nuggets missed Darrell Arthur tonight — a lot. Faried and Hickson were a joke defensively. There was no such thing as help defense in this game from the Nuggets' standpoint. And the problem was that almost all the Nuggets' downfalls were a direct result of their interior defense. Because the Nuggets couldn't defend inside, guards were sucking in to help, which made them late on their rotations, which left guys wide open for threes, which allowed the Jazz to get good positioning inside, which resulted in more rebounds and made buckets for the Jazz in the end. The Nuggets got behind by not being prepared, but they lost because they couldn't defend down low.
- This was the epitome of a "bad" loss. This was the very definition of it. Everything you need to have for a bad loss was present tonight for the Nuggets. And as is often the case with bad losses, what hurts most is the fact the Nuggets lost this game before it even started. The Nuggets thought they were big, bad sonsabitches because they won five games in a row — never mind the fact they lost eight straight before that. From the minute this game started you could tell the Nuggets were not in Utah, but on the plane, or in Oakland, or back at home — anywhere but Utah. A win against Golden State would help to mitigate this loss, but at the end of the year, if the Nuggets miss the playoffs by a game, remember this one.
- The Hickson vs. Faried debate could not be any livelier. I know it probably seems trivial to some fans being they both are remarkably similar and play the same position on the same team, but these are the debates that form the backbone of a true sports fan. It's fun to argue over whom you like more and why. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, both of these players have flaws that are costing this team games. I guess the ultimate question then becomes: Who is flawed less? Feel free to weigh in on this debate in the comments section below.
Next up: Wednesday, Jan. 15, 8:30 p.m. (MST) @ Golden State. Going to the game? Save money and get cheap Denver Nuggets tickets here.

When Fred Larson gazed at the polished black wall of the Korean War Veterans Memorial recently, he came face to engraved face with the images of men who, like himself, served in the military during the early 1950s.
"They told us that those faces were all men that didn't come back," the Fort Dodge resident said Friday afternoon.
The sacrifices of those men and all the others who died fighting to protect the freedoms that Americans enjoy were remembered Friday when the Friendship Haven community held its Memorial Day observance.

Friendship Haven resident Fred Larson reads a letter from his daughter as he reflects on his recent Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., during a Memorial Day Program in the Tompkins Celebration Center Friday. Larson served during the Korean War.
-Messenger photo by Hans Madsen
State Sen. Daryl Beall, D-Fort Dodge, pins a patriot pin on World War II Navy veteran Tom Estlund Friday during a Memorial Day program at Friendship Haven held in the Tompkins Celebration Center.
Larson, an Army veteran, described his experiences on the May 10 Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight, which took former service members to Washington, D.C., to see the nation's war memorials.
State Sen. Daryl Beall, D-Fort Dodge, presented special pins to the veterans who were there.
"I just want to say to our veterans, God bless you," Beall said. "Thank you for all you do and all that you are."
About 125 people, including veterans like Larson, filled the Tompkins Celebration Center for the event, which included patriotic songs performed by the Friendship Haven Chorus.
Larson, who said he served during the Korean War at Fort Lee, Va., said he was reluctant to go on the Honor Flight because he isn't a combat veteran. He said his daughter encouraged him to go. He was among 109 veterans on the flight.
He said he was impressed by the "amazing amount of people" that greeted the veterans when they arrived at Dulles International Airport in the Virginia suburbs of the Capitol.
"I even got kissed three times," Larson said.
He recounted how the veterans toured the various monuments and visited Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. He said he was amazed by the soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknowns.
"You have never seen precision like those men had," he said. "Being an Army man, I thought it was the greatest thing I've seen in a long time."
Beall said that during the Memorial Day holiday, people must also thank veterans "who came back less than whole" because they lost a limb or suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
"We cannot do enough or too much for our veterans," he said.
The senator said that, with regard to veterans, Americans must remember, respect and record.
Beall called on those in the audience to remember and respect the deeds of the veterans. He also asked them to record the stories of those veterans so that their contributions to history are not lost.

Snohomish takes Coupeville cop's case
An investigation into a Coupeville deputy marshal has been turned over to a detective with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, according to Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green.
Hodges Gowdey, a 13-year veteran of the Coupeville Town Marshal's Office, was charged in Island County Superior Court on Feb. 11 with unlawful imprisonment and witness tampering. The instances are charged as domestic-violence-related crimes.
Police allege that Gowdey, 44, got into a fight in 2007 with his then-girlfriend and handcuffed her on the side of a road; he allegedly later coached her not to tell investigators about the handcuffing incident, according to the police report.
Gowdey was released from jail on the charges after posting a $30,000 bond.
Gowdey's attorney, Chris Skinner of Oak Harbor, said his client will plead not guilty at his March 3 arraignment.
"We will be aggressively defending the case," Skinner said.
Green said the case was handed over to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
Detective Brad Pince, who is taking over the case, said he's looking into new allegations against Gowdey, but he doesn't know if they will lead to additional charges.
