Sexual assault in the military has dominated headlines the last two weeks. Lawmakers are calling it an "epidemic" that's largely been ignored until now.
Bipartisan lawmakers, the president and the rest of the country, are now uniting behind survivors of sexual assault in an unprecedented way.
WNCN met Navy Veteran Ruth Moore at the Truth and Justice Summit in Washington, D.C. in April. She is a survivor of sexual assault and said, "I don't like the military hierarchy. I don't like the UCMJ, and I don't like the good old boys club that seems to still exist in the military."
Moore waited 23 years to have her claims approved by the VA.
"It was just a nightmare over and over again each time, trying to get the help I needed and it wasn't until 2010, they finally admitted that I had been raped," she said.
She took her cause to Capitol Hill and eventually got legislation drafted in her name called the Ruth Moore Act, earlier this year. It allows more sexual assault survivors to get disability benefits, faster and easier.
Survivors say Congress is no longer just talking about the problem, but solving it. This week lawmakers also introduced landmark legislation that would change military law called the "Military Justice Improvement Act".
The new bill, amongst other things would prevent commanders from handling sexual assault cases that involve their subordinates.
Eileen joined WNCN after years of working as a foreign correspondent. During her time off, she enjoys relaxing with her dogs, reading, and exploring the Triangle. More>>

A continuing passion for education
When Rebecca Palacios describes one of the highlights in her 34-year teaching career, it almost sounds like a scene from a movie. Based on the book Who Sank the Boat? by Pamela Allen, Palacios was teaching her preschool students the concepts of sink and float with a toy boat and a toy mouse in a pool of water. When she grabbed the mouse, placed it on the boat, and sank the boat, her students broke into spontaneous applause. "They were stunned that this would happen," she recalls. "When young children will clap at the end of your lesson without anyone telling them to—that's a high."
Imparting knowledge to students in fun and creative ways is among the many reasons she became a preschool teacher. "Early childhood provides a true integration of content in a thematic approach," says Palacios, who retired from the Corpus Christi (Texas) Independent School District last year. For instance, when she would teach her students about plant and animal families, she would incorporate those topics in her math, science, social studies and literacy lessons. Palacios especially enjoyed the challenge of explaining complicated ideas to young children.
During her career, Palacios mostly taught low-income Hispanic children who benefited from her expertise. She is a National Board Certified teacher who holds a doctorate in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis on early childhood education. A Corpus Christi native, Palacios is also fluent in Spanish. As a child she attended Zavala Elementary School, where she later taught dual immersion preschool. Her decision to become a bilingual teacher at her alma mater was intentional: "I wanted to go back to the community that had supported me as a young child."
At Zavala, Palacios worked closely with families who were recent immigrants and who had come to this country seeking a better life for their children. "The rapport she had with the parents was wonderful," says Mary Clary, a former teacher. Clary was Palacios' substitute teacher for six years when Palacios served on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and traveled regularly on the board's behalf. Clary says that even two years later, after their students had left Palacios' class, families would ask her advice. "Please Dr. Palacios, can you speak to my son, my daughter? They're not obeying the teacher," Clary recalls. Palacios would listen and make suggestions. "She was just so compassionate with these parents."
Although no longer in the classroom, Palacios remains engaged in education. She serves on the AFT's English Language Learner cadre, which advocates for ELL students and provides professional development to ELL teachers. She serves as a senior curriculum adviser with ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy, an online curriculum. And she helps with professional development in her local union, the Corpus Christi American Federation of Teachers. Palacios also writes about educational issues. In October 2011, the Huffington Post published her article on the importance of language-building experiences for young children. With all her commitments, Palacios admits that in a sense she hasn't really retired: "From teaching yes, but not from the profession." [photo by Karen Sachar]

Honoring National Missing Childrens Day
Kaufman Texas, Please join the Kaufman County Sheriffs Office as we honor this important day. This years campaign is called Take 25. Take 25 is a preventive child safety campaign created by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in honor of National Missing Childrens Day. Annually honored on May 25th, this day serves as a reminder to the nation to make child safety a national priority.
Since 1983, our nation has observed May 25th as National Missing Childrens Day. First proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan and observed by every administration since, May 25th is the anniversary of the day in 1979 when 6-year old Etan Patz disappeared from a New York street corner on his way to school.
Designed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding missing and exploited children, the Take 25 campaign encourages parents, guardians, educators, and others to take 25 minutes to talk to children about safety. With a focus on prevention, Take 25 provides communities with free safety resources including safety tips, conversation starters, and engaging activities.
Childhood is full of rewards and potential risks. As babies become toddlers, they are prone to bumps, bruises, falls, and distractions. As children grow into teenagers, they become increasingly independent and are more apt to explore, live life, and socialize with less family supervision. Fortunately, potential risks children face throughout their lives can be lessened when parents and guardians teach safety concepts. While it may not be possible for parents and guardians to be with their children every minute of the day, they can spend time talking to them, setting appropriate limits, and helping them make good choices.
Just minutes of prevention can make a huge impact in the life of a child.
Please take time to visit the Take 25 website at www.take25.org.to find safety tips, activity ideas, discussion guidelines and much more.

ROCHEGUDE, July 18, 2011 (AFP) - Alberto Contador says he has no choice but to attack his Tour de France rivals in the thin air of the French Alps if he is to defend his yellow jersey this year.
Spain's three-time Tour champion has won all six past Grand Tours he's entered, including the Giro d'Italia which he secured for the second time in May.
But after a brutal first nine days of racing in which he crashed several times and lost time to key rivals, he arguably faces one of the biggest challenges of his career.
While the Saxo Bank team leader is four minutes behind French race leader Thomas Voeckler, more crucially he is 2:11 behind Luxembourg's Frank Schleck, 1:54 behind Australian Cadel Evans and 1:45 behind Andy Schleck.
Despite being one of the best time trialists in the peloton, Contador can't afford to wait for the penultimate stage's 42.5km race against the clock in Grenoble to make up the difference.
"Without my time loss from the first stage, I would be in condition to win the Tour and I could count on the last time trial to win the Tour," Contador said. "But the way things stand now, that would be impossible."
It is in the higher altitude of the Alps, where the climbs are also longer than the Pyrenees, that Contador expects to claw back his deficit.
"Right now the time gaps in the overall are quite big, so we have to use every opportunity we can to get ourselves back into contention," he added. "In the Alps things are going to change. The climbs are longer and the altitude is higher. Some riders won't be comfortable there."
The 16th stage on Wednesday finishes downhill in Pinerolo in Italy, but the next two days have mountaintop finishes on the Galibier and Alpe d'Huez.
"Pinerolo could be a difficult finish, it depends on the weather," said Contador. "But for me the most important are the Galibier and Alpe d'Huez. The Galibier is very hard, especially the first few kilomtres.
"If we want to make a difference there we're going to have to set a very fast rhythm. Everybody knows Alpe d'Huez. It's a very short stage but that too will be very difficult."
While the French hosts are pinning their dreams on Voeckler, Contador's big rivals are the Schlecks and Evans.

Speaking of porn! This week's episode started with Padma sending over the complete set of "Modernist Cuisine" by Nathan Myhrvold to the chefs' hotel room. Delivering this set to the cheftestants is the equivalent of Hugh Hefner sending six months worth of Playboy to the Delta House in "Animal House."The chefs are told to study the culinary encyclopedia during the night, leaving everyone to believe the Quickfire Challenge the next day will include some twist involving "Modernist Cuisine."
Quickfire Challenge
What's that, you say? As well as winning immunity at this Quickfire, the chefs will receive your entire $625 five-volume set? Seriously, it costs $625 for this book set, which is pocket change to a billionaire like Myhrvold, but to us plebes that is an intense amount for an encyclopedia.
This week's Quickfire has the chefs cooking classic dishes in a modernist fashion. There is a lot of molecular gastronomy, vapor, fog and foams getting thrown around the "Top Chef" kitchen. Somewhere, Chef Richard Blais and Chef Marcel Vigneron are wetting themselves.
Overall, the chefs do well. They all have at least one modernist style dish in their pocket that they are able to execute.
The only fantastic thing that happens in this Quickfire is the peek at Handsome Chris' casting video. Seeing as the theme of this recap seems to be porn, Handsome Chris' house is filled with "modern art" that looks like stills from the Red Light district in Amsterdam. I'm not going to judge him (well, actually I am), but it seems like a little much, no? Alas, this is the subject for a completely different type of blog post.
Back to the challenge, Chris J. really wants to win this one because he is such a fan of Myhrvold, but he is no match for Ty-Lör's simplified watermelon and tapioca olive oil dust.
Elimination Challenge
After a Quickfire Challenge that explores modernist cuisine, I expect a weird elimination challenge and maybe a guest appearance by Wylie Dufresne; however, that is not the case. It turns out that Myhrold, on top of being the author and expert behind Modernist Cuisine, oh and the former Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft worth over $1 billion, has won first place in the world championship of barbecue in Memphis, Tenn.
The chefs split into three groups of their own choosing. We have: Chris J, Handsome Chris and Bev representing Team White; Grayson, Lindsay and Paul rocking Team Blue; and Ty, Ed and Sarah holding down Team Red.
This Elimination Challenge again tests the cheftestants' endurance. The chefs are given all night to prepare and cook three meats — chicken, brisket and ribs — and two sides, to serve on one plate the next day to 300 hungry Texans.
If the previous all-night chili challenge is any indication as to how the chefs will act once delirium hits, we are in for quite the crazy banter.
A few of the greatest hits:
Bev thinks it is a good idea to flambé with bourbon inside a camper van. Hint: It's not.
Grayson tells Tom their food will "be like sex in your mouth."
Lindsay: Malibu, are you wearing a wife beater?
Handsome Chris: I know, I'm sorry. It doesn't match my shoes.
Back to cooking
As the chefs are cooking, they are all using the same secret ingredient: sweat. Not only are they standing in front of fire pits all night, but soon that Texas sun rises and the heat just escalates that much more. Dehydration and heat stroke are serious worries.

– Maybe it's as simple as the Magic has Dwight Howard and the Celtics don't. But that's not very helpful in contemplating the Hawks' chances should they draw the Magic in the playoffs.
– "This game is all about matchups, and I think we match up well with everyone but them," J.J. said. "They pretty much have their way with us."
—- Al's not big enough to handle Howard. Jason Collins and Zaza aren't quick enough. Woody's schemes haven't been effective enough. "We've got to figure it out," Woody said. "We'll go back and look at the tapes and see how we can do a better job against him at our place (for the final meeting on March 24). He's a load down there."
– "We don't know what looks to throw at him," Smoove said. "When we tried trapping him we had success with it, but I think we waited too late in the game to do it."
– "They just have our number right now," Al said. "We have to figure them out. We have to do a better job inside in the post, starting with me."
– As it stands now, I don't see the answer for the Hawks against the Magic. Neither does J.J.: "I am sure the coaches will come up with something but I don't know what to do."
– The trading deadline is approaching. So far all signs suggest the Hawks believe they are set with this group. Wonder if the possibility of Howard lifting the Magic to the division title and then dominating the Hawks should they meet in the postseason changes that thinking.
– Or maybe that would be an overreaction. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy wouldn't bite when asked if the Magic has the Hawks' number: "It's not like a playoff series. I just don't buy it. They're coming in on a back-to-back. There's just a lot of factors."
– A legitimate footnote: the Magic twice has caught the Hawks on the second game of back-to-backs. That wouldn't happen in the postseason. "I'm not blaming it on back-to-back games," Woody said. "We've been fairly decent in back-to-back games but it's just like the energy was sucked out of us in the third quarter."
– The Hawks felt the officials didn't help matters. They were called for 25 fouls to 15 for Orlando, and Howard attempted 18 free throws compared to the Hawks' 20. "It's tough to beat a great team like Orlando when you can't get to the line," Smoove said. "We were aggressive like they were aggressive."
– Sure, the Hawks didn't get calls against Howard. But is that ever going to change?
– Some guy named Ryan Anderson scored 16 off the bench for the Magic. Hawks reserves not named Jamal Crawford combined to score 11.
– That shooting foul called on Smoove against Jameer Nelson at the end of the half led to a five-point Magic lead instead of two. "I fouled him earlier (on the floor), and I thought they were going to call it," Smoove said. "They didn't, and then I bumped him again and they called it."
– Woody got a technical after the buzzer. Nelson made the free throw to start the second half. The Hawks got within 57-54 on Mike Bibby's 3-pointer but Howard had seven points during a 20-9 Magic run to close the period. "They picked it up defensively, and I don't want to say fatigue set in but we looked very sluggish in the third quarter," Woody said.
– At least Bibby was back to making open shots. But Jamal (6 of 17) was cold. Before the game, he was wistful about being an All-Star after the Celtics gave him some love.
– No more division lead for the Hawks. They did make it through a week that featured at Houston, at San Antonio vs. Boston and at Orlando at 2-2. "I'll take it," Al said. "This was a tough week. We obviously would have liked to have gone 3-1 but it was a good week."
– I'm out, Hawks fans.

they are a 2nd round disaster anyway so why waste your time on them.
January 30th, 2010
11:33 pm
Not sure what to say. Second let-down after a big win. To me it's like they just don't believe they can do it. They came out strong, Orlando made a run and we shut down. By the end when we cut it to single digits they made a few good stops. We resorted to ill-advised shots and boom 20 pt lead. I just don't think we believe in ourselves and thus we lose to them every time.
Celtics used to have their way with us. In that 7 game series we finally believed. Now we own the Celts. I think it's a mental thing here.
Only note I didn't like was the double teaming Dwight. Play him tough, pound him and live with the results. The double team wasn't fast enough. When it did come they found their shooters. It's not worth the effort or risk to double him.
Collins/ ZaZa proved too slow. Maybe Randmo needs a shot in the next meeting.
My 2-2 prediction held true. Even picked the games. The next week has potential to be a great one for the Hawks. Hopefully we'll return the favor to OKC and get on a roll.

I may be in the minority, but I actually disagree that the Hawks don't have the personnel to handle Howard. Al Horford was matched on Howard one on one for a stretch in the 3rd quarter, and I think Howard went 2/4 and turned it over twice, which is not great but not terrible. The worst defensive sequences for the Hawks' defense came when they double teamed Howard. The Magic took advantage every time, swinging the ball faster than the Hawks could rotate and getting open 3s or dunks every time.
I think going forward the best defensive strategy for the Hawks will be to play straight defense on Howard, let him get what he can, and put the clamps on the Magic supporting cast. Players like Rashard Lewis and JJ Redick are the ones you don't want to get into a rhythm. Howard is a physical freak, but his post moves are limited and he won't make you pay at the free throw line, so it's not like single-teaming him will hurt you more than double teaming currently does. And the 3's from the supporting cast are the real momentum swingers, not the hook shots by Howard.
Of course, if they insist on running iso and not sharing the ball on offense, the defense they use is irrelevant.

Najeh has it perfect!
The double team kills us on D, which leads to bad tempo on O.
Start Randmo, Al, Josh, Joe, Teague
2nd Unit – ZaZa or Collins, Joe Smith, Marvin, Crawford, Evans/Bibby
I love Rio, but I still say we should've gone with 3-4 D-League bigs till the trade deadline comes. Watch the waiver wire and test prospects. After the trade deadline pick up Rio for chemistry, but not until then. He is a useful tool for a team, but not necessarily what we need. We need someone who can defend Dwight better and a PG that can penetrate…wait, we have those, we just don't use them?

Don't you realize they'll handle Woodson's situation in the off-season. Some of you folks cursing him after every single loss isn't going to help anything. Time will tell where this team goes.
ASG and Sund have enough respect for Woodson to allow him to finish his contract. Decency and honor are not often seen in pro sports. He's come a long way with this team. He's meeting and exceeding goals and expectations set for him at the outset of the season. He deserves his chance 100%. After that we'll see what they decide.
Your desire to fire is never followed with a real viable upgrade option. Just rage. Get real! Such a weak, weak post. I'll scroll next time. What a waste of time.

Whats up with the excuse making at some point its about just simply wanting it more and our entire frontline caves when they see Howard .They have yet to even challenge Howard simply as basketball players so to suggest its simply the scheme is crazy. No scheme works when you are afraid of the guy.
The Grizzlies beat the magic and Howard beasted them with 27 and 15 and 6 blocks but they still won because Randolph and his 2 inch vertical and the Grizzlies frontline challenged Howard on the glass . Randolph had 19 boards in that game .
Tonight Howard had 19 boards but no other magic had more than 5 boards and no hawks had more than 6 boards . Al 4 boards-Smoove 6 boards- Marvin 2 boards thats simply unacceptable and while I dont expect Woody to call them out publicly he should be all over them about that behind closed doors .

Brendan Haywood. Good contract [expiring]. *Plenty of size! Available.
Always seems to play well v. D.H.
I hope you were being sarcastic. Ryan Anderson is pretty good.
He came over in the NJ trade. Terrific 3 pt. scorer.
Wish we had him. Another player to spread the floor.
Good night all.

Guys…it is so obvious…Sund is letting Woodson hang himself with him boneheaded "strategy" moves….if u even want to call them that. I'll give Woody this….he is a good defensive mind having learned from Larry Brown. But he clearly…I mean CLEARLY limited in making adjustments offensively and sumtimes defensively to be able to lead this team past the 1st round. He was brought in to instil discipline and he has done that…Im sure Sund will see what he has with Woody and decide to go in another direction. Its painful to watch other young guards dominate the lane for other teams and not see Teague get a chance to contribute. Think about it…If you have a point guard to penetrate the lane to draw D. Howard..then you have other avenues for Joe and Jamal to work….plus you could get Howard into foul trouble. But our stubborn excuse for a coach wont do anything different that would negatively affect his potential contract down the line by playing a player (teague) that could positively impact a game. Frustrating watching this mess nite after nite.

Rocky – Crawford drove with reckless abandon from the moment he came into the game and no one actually moved with them to present them at the front of the rim even though everyone knows Howard is gonna go for the block. When Crawford comes around that screen and it becomes 4 on 3 every stays spread and Howards man never trailed Howard to the rim .Our frontcourt did not want anything to do with the paint today. We really need to work on our pick and roll offense the second half teams dont expect and when we are not lazy it works well for us . and it could work against the magic as Howard is the only god defender they really have .

The Hawks better learn how to be the aggressor and beat the Magic by outscoring them. They do nothing to try to get Howard in foul trouble and get to the line. You're not going to beat them scoring in the 80's.

Trade Bibby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 31st, 2010
6:48 am
We were up 16-6 when the refs bailed the Magic with a series of bogus calls and non calls (for instance: Collins had a clean steal on Howard quickly converted into a foul in the penalty, then Collins was called for a moving screen when he was being pushed and Marvin was sacked when driving for a reverse lay up). All within 4 or 5 minutes of play and I am not being exhaustive.
When something like that happens, it becomes difficult to defend Howard because you fear getting called for every contact and you start to fear attacking the rim.
Then there was the bogus call on Josh plus the tech on Woody: a maximum of 2 pts for the Magic converted into 4.
Zaza was called for a foul and a tech when he dove for the ball with Howard pushing him. Then, we we were closing in again, he was called for a moving screen.
Again, I'm not being exhaustive. Just point the obvious. How can you play against this?!
In order to beat Orlando, we either have to be 200% or get a fair chance from the refs.
Anyone ignoring their influence on Howard's "dominance" is blind.
January 31st, 2010
6:50 am
Ah! He also got away with at least three or four 3-second defensive offenses in the lane. Pretty easy to get blocks that way too…
January 31st, 2010
6:54 am
I agree with Najeh. Play Dwight straight up and he will get his points. If we play tough defense on the others we can win the game. However, we have to knock down our open shots. I don't understand Marvin Williams who can look like a world beater one night and too many nights look like he is just out there taking up space. Most of the other players are pretty consistent on their shooting within a few points or boards, but Marvin is a mystery. If he makes his open shots, he can take the pressure off JJ and Jamal. It will open Horford and Smoove up more because the player guarding Marvin will be less likely to leave for a double team.
We have got to not get so bogged down in isos. They use up too much energy for both JJ and Jamal and I don't understand for the life of me why Woody doesn't make more use of the screens. Players like JJ, Jamal, Bibby, Teague could square up and take good shots off screens. It could give Smoove, Evans or Joe S clearer paths too the basket to get to the rim and make the layup/dunk or draw the foul. But, we don't use them. Instead we allow or pursue 6 to 10 second isos that drain the energy out of our guards and don't allow them to recover on the defensive end. I don't see any of the other top tier teams running as many isos as we do and it may spell Woody's undoing.
We have to spread the ball around, set screens to free up players for open shots and run with the ball. Period

I'm a Big Hawks fan and I'm at a lost for words on why they just don't let Crawford do his thing…Teams already know they can exploit Bibby's lack of speed…Crawford goes in to play catch up..yes, sure it's smart to put him in best position to get the 6th man award, but I just think the chemistry with Crawford and Joe is still lacking and hurting this team. Is Crawford a threat to Joe's Big Payday?
It amuses me when I hear Joe say he isn't thinking about the contract till the end of the season…c'mon now when contract time arrives every stat matters…. Crawford and Joe's body language and chemistry says alot … that aside …We need a Visibly vocal Player who isn't afraid to hold other accountable on the court…Example–Garnett, Kobe, etc–etc– Hawks players have Too many of same personality types –outside of Z and Smooth….think about it…WWBD (What Would Barkley Do??) … JSmooth can learn alot from the Magic/Isiah rivalry, LOL

You would think at some point this would hit home that the Hawks need a true center. Horford is an excellent player but not a center and the 2 centers on the bench aren't worth talking about.

Josh from the top of the key and making it spelled doom for the Hawks last night.

I agree with vava74…Howard gets his 2nd foul with 6 minutes to go in the game…no way a big man throws his body around and knocks people off of him with his big shoulders and only commit 2 fouls in an NBA game. Refs control the calls to dictate the game. Watch Howard when he matches up with the Lakers or Cavs and see how quickly he gets whistled. It's always a double standard in the league…thats why you have the same teams dominating every year.

Stop complaining about fouls. Everyone knows that Howard is a poor FT shooter and teams fowl him as part of the game plan.. If you watched howard's games, players grab him by the neck, throw him to the ground, under-cut him, 3 players swatting at him, etc. At one point Howard got a tech for verbal retaliation because an opponent grabbed him by the neck and Van Gundy was really verbal about the league play against howard on the post game interview…the next day the tech was recinded. Howard gets many, many calls against him like in the Celts game. The fact is that Al can't handle Dwight. Za Za is waaay to slow, and Collins needs to get into shape…these out of shape guys tend to foul more because they cant get into position so the grab and swat.

The smartest thing woody did the hole night was 2 play jason collin on dewight howard, what a clueless coach i think woody just get caught up in the momments instead of coaching, if your a coach and you see a player who is 6′5 in horford guarding 7′7 dewight howard what do you do you make adjustment and he did nothing but play jason for 5min what a waste.

I said this yesterday before the game a it is once again validated after las nights game:
3 Reasons why Josh Smith is not an All-Star:
1- He got rid of his 3-point shots, but he still tries that "just inside the three-point line jumpshot", which he can't make consistently. I think that everybody in the league knows that, but Josh, himself.
2- He is a constant whiner about not getting fouls called. Does it really matter? I mean he's going to miss at least half of the foul shots. Which brings me to #3.
3- He has to improve his foul shooting.
Josh is a gifted athelete that can become great player in this league, if he works on improving on his weaknesses and stop being so stubborn. That coast to coast sh@# has to stop.
BTW I wonder what our record is when we wear the alt uniform. Does anybody know?

The Hawks play a lot better when the move around w/o the ball and they stay active. The problem is with all the isolation plays, the offense just becomes stagnant. Why do you think the triangle offense is so successful, it creates a flow.

Here's a play for you that almost always works:

I think the biggest thing is that the Hawks dont have "superstar" thats going to get sent to the foul line. I watched the Boston and the Orlando game and its amazing that no one on this team can get to the line consistently. Friday night it was Paul Pierce, who in the longest 3rd quarter of basketball I have ever withnessed, went to the line an unprecidented amount of times, and the Celts were able to get back into the game.
Last night it was Howard, 20times the total Hawks team 18. Enough said. JJ is our "start" but he does not demand the help from the Zebras.
January 31st, 2010
11:46 am
Do the Hawks actually make adjustments vs. ORLANDO or are we just gonna hear this "We haven't figured Orlando out yet" crap every time they destroy us?
January 31st, 2010
11:48 am
I agree with you Nole, but the problem is that when JJ penetrates or drives to the basket, he is looking for ways to score as opposed to guys like Paul Pierce that look for a way to get fouled so they can have 2 free ones. One tries to avoid contact (JJ) and waht Pierce does is try to create contact to get to the foul line. Back in the 80's Adrian Dantley was a master of getting to the line by just creating the contact from the defensive player.
January 31st, 2010

MC, great stuff as usual…it never surprises me to READ the level of discontent on the blog after a big loss. I mean guys like Wood, JJ, Josh, and Al are being honest about the outcome of the game. Would guys rather they lie to us?
Well, I guest most have forgotten that that was the reason LBJ and the Cavs went out and got Shaq…BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY JUST DIDN'T MATH UP WELL WITH DHoward and Orlando. Why are so many people surprise to hear the Hawks admit the same…oh I know…it a sign of weakness…what ever!!
I agree, it is the coaches job to formulate a scheme to take away a dominate player like DH…however, we are still taking about the team that represented the East in the NBA FINALS last season…so it ain't like the Hawks are playing second fiddle to some lowly team…jez. With the resigning of JJ looming…I wouldn't try to do too much before the trade deadline. There are going to be some teams that make a run at JJ…you can count it.
Just like the SA game…we can't dwell on one loss…The Hawks has far exceeded most everyone expectation thus far…when the playoff start…anything is possible.
Some Boston fans set in our section for that game Friday…we were High Fiving the F out of them every time the Hawks scored. I can't remember when I had that much fun at a Hawks game against Boston…with the tremendous effort and energy it took to finish off Boston…it was going to be a huge challenge going into Orlando on a back-to-back.
After that Boston game I thought we would finally knock off Orlando…well it did not happen…time to move on and get ready for the next opponents…like MC said…THIS IS THE NBA BABY!!
January 31st, 2010
12:16 pm
I agree with Sid and Dan and others:-
It is NBA 101. B/c the Hawks do not consistently run effective pick-n-roll plays … most half court possesions end up with very difficult shots by JJ or JC, regardless if the shots are falling or not.
This weakness is REALLY exposed when the Hawks cannot stop opponent from scoring on the defenside end.
With that said, why is it so hard to design more Bibby-Josh or Bibby-Horford pick-n-rolls?? They would allow Bibby to get near the paint so he can dish out to the shooters (Marvin, JJ, JC) or to possibly pass it back to the screener cutting towards the rim. It also allows the offense to swing the ball and create ball movement as the defense scrambles to cover the perimeter players. It is the simplest play in basketball yet the WORST play ran by the Hawks.
If Steve Nash at age 34 can run it every time down the court, I dont see why Bibby can't do the same. Even though Nash has better 1-on-1 moves, neither have that much speed but they're both great passers and shooters. I have given up with Woody allowing Teague to run this play (at least this year) so this is why I am using Bibby as the main example.
Bottom line is that the play friggin works, and the Hawks have the talent and personnel, but unfortunately, not the coach to develop it.

Files App is hereFebruary 27, 2013
Today we released Files App.
For our company it is a very special App launch, because from a pure technological standpoint it's the most complicated App that we've ever built (and we've built quite a few Apps). Although Files App looks very simple at first glance, there's a lot of things going on under the hood.
For the first time we even did a nice promo video. We plan to do this for all big Apps going forward. Here's the video:
The general goal of Files App was to build a file manager/viewer that is truly optimized for touch screens and has no unnecessary bells and whistles. Just your files and nothing else. Opening and organizing your files should be as simple as opening and organizing your Apps on your Homescreen. Sounds simple in theory, but it took us countless iterations to really achieve this kind of simplicity.
Below you see a screenshot that (hopefully) demonstrates this:
One of my personal highlights of Files App is that the basic UI only consists of 2 important buttons: The Plus button, which brings you to the place to add files (from any source) and the Edit button, which lets you manage and organize your files. Everything else is just tapping, pinching and swiping. Tap a file to open it, drag a file over another to create a folder, tap a name to rename a file or folder… you get the idea.
Below you see how the Plus Menu looks like. Again, there's not really much to see and that's a good thing
Another area that was important to us, is how you actually import files into Files App. We didn't want to offer hundred different ways like a lot of Apps do, but focus on a few ways and execute them really well. Besides the usual Dropbox, Google Drive or Email import we have one import method that is, in our opinion, the simplest and coolest way to put files on your device: Drag & Drop files from your Mac or PC directly into Files App using any modern Web Browser on any platform. It's not the usual simple web form, but an entire replication of the App, right in your browser. How cool is that. On Chrome you can even drag files out of the browser. This was one of the most popular features among our beta users.
The best thing about Files App is that it really lets your content shine. Be it photos, videos, PDFs or Music. Everything just looks absolutely gorgeous. Just have a look at the following screens and see for yourself:
Finally let me say some special thanks to:
- Samuel Aaron Bennett for putting together an awesome video.
- Wolfgang Bartelme for his unbelievable pixel magic.
- Josh Mobley for providing 3 cool songs for the sample files.
- Josh Clark for letting us use his Tapworthy eBook in our video
- And of course the awesome team @SonicoMobile: Gunther, Richard, Andreas, Oleg & Alex

Synology announces the availability of its sub-$1000 DS1812+ NAS server that's capable of offering up to 32TB of storage space.
Turner Broadcasting, which owns both networks, will let Google TV owners watch its shows, as long as people can prove they're subscribers to those networks, a new report claims.
The deal, which features sites and content from the NBA, PGA, and Nascar, is part of a move by Yahoo to create an interdependent advertising reseller network.
After taking a lot of heat for not offering the first round of the MLB playoffs in HD, Dish Network appears to have reversed its course.
Team BlackSheep's TBS Discovery can be piloted long distances because he pilot can see from what's going on from an onboard camera.
The highly anticipated game will be part of a special segment tonight on Conan O'Brien's "Conan" show on TBS.
According to a new faux Apple ad courtesy of Conan on TBS, Apple wants its unreleased iPhone back really, really, bad.
Many major networks are blocking Google TV from streaming content, but so far TBS is allowing Conan's new show to stream on TeamCoCo.com.
We still don't know how much the boxes will cost, but Google TV will have optimized content from TBS and HBO when it arrives later this month, plus apps.

During my mother's last visit, she asked if I knew how many Barbie dolls my daughter had.
"I don't know, maybe ten?"
"Thirty-five. She has thirty-five Barbies," she said in a tone I didn't much appreciate. Before I could dispute her findings, she added: "I counted."
Here's the Problem
I did not buy my 5-year-old 35 Barbies. Most were gifts. Others were rescues from yard sales in an attempt to placate her while I hunted down vintage Pyrex. I figured we would reach our Barbie limit when they no longer fit in the storage box under Ava's bed. Apparently that time had come and gone because when I went to check my mom's math, I couldn't dislodge the box. I pulled and pried until it finally broke loose—to the detriment of Mariposa's left wing and the head of some token brunette.
Sitting there amongst an army of plastic bodies and tiny shoes, I took a good, hard look at Ava's bedroom. It was a labyrinth of Littlest Petshops, a maze of Mattel. The worst offenders were the super-sized toys: a Disney Princess Castle, Barbie's Vet Center, and a life-sized, mechanical pony—the Humvee of all toys. I barely noticed Ava when she walked in the room; she looked like tumbleweed in the Grand Canyon, tiny and insignificant.
"We need to get rid of some of these toys," I explained. "At least the junky ones you don't play with."
"But I play with all of them!"
She's not wrong. The beloved 6-inch strand of rainbow yarn decorates a new stuffed animal each week. Even the turkey crafted from a toilet paper roll repeatedly serves as the head judge for beauty pageants. The problem is that Ava considers everything to be precious. Her abacuses in three varying sizes. Her glitter-glue shell necklace from preschool. A strand of red beads she found in the Walmart parking lot. And to make matters worse, she forgets nothing.
"Mommy, where's my feather?"
"What feather?"
"You know, my favorite pink feather that I found on the floor at the grocery store by the apples while I was eating the cookie with the orange and black sprinkles?"
"Oh, that feather."
The Solution (and a slight misstep)
A friend of mine whose home looks more West Elm than Elmo's World shares her secret to clean living. While her boys are at school, she throws a bunch of toys into a box and puts it in the attic. If after one month her sons haven't asked about any of the toys, she donates them.
I tried this last summer, but instead of donating, I attempted to sell Ava's toys in our yard sale. Big mistake. Seeing her old toys again was like being reunited with a long-lost friend. Sweet memories flooded over her. Emotion overcame her. I didn't think it was possible, but distance had made her heart grow fonder and she ended up loving those castaways even more. Nice job, Mom.
But it's a new year. I'm older and wiser. I'm going to bite the rubber bullet and try my friend's goodwill approach. I may not earn back a cent of my investment in the toy economy, but I will take some delight in knowing that her toys will find another child to love them and even more comfort in knowing they will clutter another woman's home. After all, misery loves company.Read More From Blogs.
My son is 20 years old and has several large overflowing bins of GI Joes and accessories. There are so many tiny pieces I get overwhelmed just looking at it. I don't wnt to get rid of them now.....He may have a son someday and wish he could pass this on to him.
By Judi on March 15, 2012
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, y'all! Yes, you too, Mom . I'm gonna try some of these suggestions and see which one gets my house back in working order. And to "Anonymous": I adore SpongeBob ... now. I didn't know what I was missing until I actually watched it. Keep the comments coming!
By Andrea Goto on February 13, 2012
Best of luck with getting rid of the extra toys. When my son was 4 we started a yearly toy purge. I drove him by a homeless shelter my employer helped support and explained that I would be taking items there the next week. After we were home, I had him pick 4 toys to give to the shelter. Each year we increased the number of toys by 1. He is now 12 and will bring up the toy donations if I don't. He has a younger sister and I am sure he is very happy to see her giving away all those pink toys.

What's wrong with spongebob?
By Anonymous on January 30, 2012
Instead of a garage sale or goodwill, sell them on Craigslist and the kids won't even miss them.
By Heather Shrout on January 30, 2012
Try consigning instead of donating if you want to make money. Most consignment stores have 3 month donate policy anyways. If your toy has not sold in 3 months they donate it for you.
By Amber on January 30, 2012
I'm raising 2 boys in a 1400 sq ft house. A day or two before Christmas I took all their toys and bagged them up for donation. In the excitement of getting new ones at Christmas they never even noticed! It's all about the timing!
By Becky on January 30, 2012
I do something similar. Toys go in a box, in the garage, and once a month I switch them out with others. Like a new toy for my kids. I keep an eye out for the ones that get played with once in a blue moon and put those aside for donation. I donate my toys to our daycare center. They can always use toys and cloths (for those unexpected accidents). Sometimes I donate to Safenest. I am glad you shared the story about her remembering the toys after a month of them disapearing. My kids are the same way. What wonderful little minds they have.
By Jamie on January 30, 2012
By tricking your daughter into getting rid of toys, I think you are missing a perfect opportunity to teach her about charity and selflessness. Explain to her that she is fortunate to have so many things and suggest that she may have some toys that are not so important to her that she might want to give to other children who don't have as much as she does. Let her pick out what goes and the have her accompany you to the charity to which you're donating them and give them away herself. She may be resistant the first time you try this, but she will come around to the idea and I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much she will choose to give away. Also, consider giving the toys to day care centers. They are always looking for gently used, clean toys. Your daughter will understand the joy of being selfless and you get to clear some floor space. Its a win/win.
By Molly on January 30, 2012
I hAD A LARGE TOY STORAGE CLOSET AND ROTATED THE TOYS ON A DAILY AND WEEKLY BASIS. FIRST I SELECTED ROLE PLAY DOLLS AND COSTUMES, SOME MANIPULATIVES, MUSIC TOYS, BOOKS, AND GROSS MOTOR EQUIPMENT. EACH DAY I SELECTED TWO ITEMS OUT OF EACH GROUP AND PLACED ON SHELVES LABELED PUZZLES, DOLLS ETC, HUNG A COUPLE OF COSTUMES ON HOOKS, AND THE NEXT DAY SWITCHED THEM OUT TO SOMETHING ELSE. AT THE END OF A WEEK THESE ITEMS WERE PLACED IN THE CLOSET WITH MOREOTHERS TAKEN OUT TO BEGIN ROTATION AGAIN. If a child is old enough to remove an item from the shelf, they are old enough to return them. Pictures of items can be placed on shelf along with labels.If they have lovies always keep one favorite out for cuddling and rest time. Give children plenty of transition time between ending play and beginning picking up and putting away.Sing clean up song as you start them on the task and help them by picking up one and showing them how to find place on shelf by picture or labeled word for item. If a toy is not returned to shelf it is put in closet not to be returned until another week. Another rule might be, it's okay to get another toy but first the ones you already have must be returned to the shelf. At the end of the day there will not be this seemingly endless number of toys scattered on floor or furniture. Teach child to cull less used and desirable toys for others to have. Always have them make the selections and tell them how very nice it will be for a child to have it to play with and love. Let them know giving is as good a feeling as getting.
By Betty on January 30, 2012
I have 2 girls ages 7 and 3, who have more toys than 5 children need. Like you we have not purchased a large majority of them, our newest solution to the clutter was, before Christmas the girls and I spent several hours going through them and I had them choose some toys to donate to kids who are less fortunate. It went surprisingly well we ended up donating 2 large garbage bags of toys to a local daycare center where we know they will be enjoyed for years to come!
By Angela on January 30, 2012
LOVE THIS STORY! The BEST one yet Andrea! Daughter like mother! Now maybe when you come "home" to visit next summer we can actually get in the attic and challenge the "collection" from your past too! If I recall without going into the dungeon of the attic alone, there is approximately five cabbage patch dolls (all of which you remember each one's name), 20+ Barbie dolls in which you were a "self proclaimed hair stylist" for a time; garbage bags full of stuffed animals and don't forget the suitcase full of Lego's! Dad and I couldn't move to a condo if we wanted to.... where would we put all the "treasures of our kids". What does one do with your drawings from first grade, your baby teeth (don't tell the fairy), and so much more! Don't get to carried away with a garage sale, you must remember, HOME will always be where all your toys are (and mom and dad too)!
By Sue Stremler on January 26, 2012
I like your like button:) Oh and I swore I would never allow a Barbie in house. The girls' godmother thought it was funny to give them Barbies for every occasion, so that did not work. The good news: Over the years my distaste for Barbie has slowly sunken in. My oldest commented the other day that Barbie looked deformed with no knees and freaky skinny waist.

Prayer, Worship, and Social Justice Conference held on campus
The Prayer, Worship, and Social Justice Conference was held on the campus of Trevecca Nazarene University, Nov. 13-14, in the Boone Business Building Convocation Center.
Trevecca's new Centers for Social Justice and Worship Arts teamed up to provide the informative conference presenting Social Justice and Worship in a shared light, while addressing important issues in our world in a prayerful manner.
The conference also offered opportunity to learn of the incredible work International Justice Mission (IJM) is conducting around the globe. IJM is a Christian human rights organization that fights to liberate and free victims of human trafficking. Bethany Hoang, Director of IJM headquarters in Washington D.C., spoke about the atrocities of human trafficking and how students can partner in liberating the oppressed through prayer, thus bringing justice.
Alex Mejias, lead singer for the band "Portrait of Another" and drummer for the band "Florez" led worship through song. Andrew Briggs, of Freedom of Creation, shared about the use of art therapy to bring about healing to the children soldiers in Uganda. Mejias and Briggs also held informative workshops during the conference.
In addition, Amy L. Sherman, senior founding consultant of the J.V. Morsch Center for Social Justice at Trevecca, was in attendance to offer a devotional.
During the conference, prayer rooms were set up to allow conference attendees to learn more about human trafficking and intercede in prayer.
The conference was free and open to the public.


text: Purple is often said to be the more beautiful version of blue. It can be peaceful and calming as well as bold or youthful depending on how you use it. If large amounts of purple are being used, pastels are the way to go. For smaller amounts, pops of bright purple in pillows work great. Purple is great for the brain, providing peace, reducing migraines, creating a feel for healing.

About half a dozen sharks were swarming in Kaneohe Bay Sunday morning.
Long-time diver and Kaneohe resident, Dick Van Horn caught them splashing around on video, just 50 feet from shore. He said they were tiger sharks, about 6-8 feet long.
"You see a shark typically grab something and then wrench to get a chunk out and it looks like that's what he was doing," Van Horn said. "There was kind of a spot, a muddy spot that was kind of oily, it looked like. there was a sheen on the water. and they were kind of circling that and kind of attacking it."
He said he notified authorities and Waterfront Operations from Marine Corps Base Hawaii immediately sent out a boat to warn everyone.

Things I liked:Works better in some air guns than in others--like most pellets.
Things I liked:Pellet uniformity was good, they shot as good or better at 20 yards from my Daisy 901, grouping 5 shots under an inch with 3 of the 5 in a cloverleaf. They seem to engage the rifling and seal better than most other store bought pellets.
Things I would have changed:Maybe a foam disc adhered to the tin lid to prevent rattling/pellet damage?
What others should know:These won't group or shoot like Supermags or Exact's but for the money, Gamo pellets are a great value in my opinion. Also, looks like Gamo is using different molds. The pellets purchased here compared to some that I've had for 5 years , both Magnum pellets, the older ones seem to be more precise, with more definition in the skirt detail.
Things I liked:THEY ARE WELL MADE AND I DID NOT HAVE ANY DEFECTS IN MY BATCH. THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY BECAUSE I RATE THESE WITH HIGH MARKS IN QUALITY AND CONSISTANCY.
Things I would have changed:NOTHING.
What others should know:THIS AMMO WORKS BEST IN ACCRUACY WITH RIFLES SHOOTING UNDER 1000 FPS.

(AP) - The Georgia State Crime Lab has stopped providing handwriting comparison analysis for criminal cases because of an accrediting issue.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/OpyzJe) the testing has been stopped until the scientists in that unit pass an assessment required by a national accrediting agency.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation oversees the lab. The GBI has informed prosecutors and law enforcement agencies throughout the state that the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors determined that GBI scientists who do handwriting comparisons didn't meet its requirements.
GBI Director Vernon Keenan says the scientists will undergo more training and retake the test.

The debate about Rupert Sheldrake's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Rupert Sheldrake's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.

Apr 2 2013: Ben this paper on David Bohm is seminal thanks for sharing it. it will take a while to really digest them all.
it contains some fantastic and lucid and really easy to read explanations.
This side discussion here about the "field" and proof for psychic phenomena and telepathy and remote viewing lies in this one aspect.
It sounds esoteric but it is simple
If one is positioned as the "ME" - the limited entity- conditioned by prejudice or society- then one cannot access the extended non-local field and that is all that telepathy and remote viewing are intentional access of information with a protocol of communication and diligent process nothing more .Although natural intuitives have the ability without training.

Richard Feynman agreed about Bohm: http://books.google.com/books?id=pobZMUmZbAEC&printsec=frontcover&dq=infinite+potential&hl=en&sa=X&ei=wmhaUcvVJ6WUiQKzzYDAAg&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=feynman&f=false
why is this essential? it has a true foundation for exploration in quantum potential to explain some of the mysteries of the field.
Apr 2 2013: The relevant quote from the text you linked to is on p. 271:
"When he mentioned his own lack of interest in the philosophical issues of science, one of the Ojai group, David Moody, joked, "Dave knows a little bit about both." Feynman became angry, saying "I can tell you one thing. David Bohm knows a lot more than a little about physics." Booth Harris, a teacher at the Ojai school, remembered Feynman saying, "You probably don't know how great he is," and noticed the considerable respect Feynman showed towards Bohm."
And yes - I agree that Krishnamurti captured the essence of apophatic mysticism, and that this might open people up to things, with aspects that are not merely subjective (in the limited sense of the word - omitting any kind of proposed "mind of God" subjectivity), that they might otherwise not be opened up to. For me, engaging with such material produced an alteration that initially resulted in this log: http://www.scribd.com/doc/91194346/Start-of-log-%E2%80%93-week-of-11-1-2011-11-8-2011
And then rather extraordinary things happened. You talk about conditioned psychological structures - these progressively began to dissolve. Other extraordinary things happened, leading to my statement about "aspects that are not merely subjective." And extraordinary things will no doubt continue to happen.
Apr 2 2013: I helped break ground for the Krishnamurti school in Ojai.
K's discussion with children were markedly more animated and fun than the ones with adults who K felt just could not get past thier conditioning
Many of those dialogs are on youtube .
Many argue that "Choiceless awareness" the true state of lucid awareness is not practical in the "real world" but it (open awareness) accompanies rational decision making and daily life easily with no conflict. the term they always used both K and David bohm was DIALOG DIALOG...Resepctfu mutual dialog.
Apr 2 2013: I would argue that it can lead to a much greater sanity - a clearing up of garbage and detritus. It helped me CURE (not merely manage), severe psychological wounds and turmoil - along with some other things alluded to above. With that, and a greater wholeness, I greet life much more fully.
