and if dinara reaches number 1 after this tourney, she'll be talked about in the same way jankovic was when she reached number 1.

also - not sure who said it (and i'm too lazy to scroll up and see) but players should be awarded points for defending a title (like bonus points or something?)

and for anon, she can "trash talk" all she wants. it makes player interviews worth reading. :)TR Burkehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253867020130053273.post-56177812100697083052009-03-31T13:07:00.000-07:002009-03-31T13:07:00.000-07:00anon 3:42 - Oops, good catch.

"Anonymous" responses with something negative about Serena does not change the fact that a ranking system that allows point chasers to be rewarded over slam and big title winners are still entitled to believe that. I don't. I still think players should gain points for defending a title.

Great, she has 2 slams and another final slam appearance - and she may still drop to #2, doesn't that speak volumes to her lack of committment to the entire tour? Thank god Dinara and the other top girls don't blow off these small tournaments like Serena does - FANS appreciate them. Lastly, even if you weighted slams with more points, with her staus as part-time player, Serena might still fall short!Chuck'lehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

I'm standing in a long, empty corridor in a cold sweat, a scream welling up inside me. There's a phone wedged between my right ear and my shoulder, and while part of me is listening to the voice coming through the receiver, another part of me is staring at the LED display on my beeper in disbelief. Instead of a distinct 5-digit phone extension, all I see is a steady stream of digits. After hoping for a brief moment that it's a malfunction, I realize that it's because I'm being paged so often that the display can no longer keep up with the messages. The numbers are like planes stacked up over Newark Airport, unable to land because the runways are full. As I struggle to suppress my scream, I find myself frantically jotting down names, room numbers, and disasters being communicated to me by the relentless wave of nurses whose calls I answer. And while I write, I must simultaneously keep a running list of the other LED digits that are backing up. Each conversation contains its own horror: fell out of bed, chest pain, wants a Tylenol, vomited blood, needs to be discharged, come push the chemotherapy. And then, each conversation (but these aren't conversations, they're more like lobbed grenades) ends the same way—"What's your name, doctor?"—because the nurse on the other end wants to enter the dreaded "MD aware" in the chart.

Miami, Florida (AP) --
Military personnel serving overseas would get a
property tax break if Amendment 2 on the Nov. 2 ballot passes.
It would create a new homestead exemption for troops serving in
certain conflict areas outside the United States. If it passes, the
Legislature would decide exactly which conflict regions qualify.
Republican state Rep. Mike Horner said he proposed the amendment
after hearing stories of Florida-based soldiers serving in
Afghanistan who were worried about paying property tax bills back
The measure passed the state House and Senate unanimously and
there is no organized opposition. Like all amendments, it must be
approved by 60 percent of the voters to pass.
The price tag is pegged at about $14 million in lost tax

I usually keep some breaded chix fingers in the freezer for when I'm desperate, short of time, etc. and need a quick meal for the kids, which usually ends up being some combination of chix fingers, baked beans, frozen veggies or raw veggies, rice and beans, mac and cheese...
Using them with chicken parm is a great idea -- I will have to keep that in mind for another desperation meal with leftover pasta and jarred sauce.
We had em recently w/mac&cheeze and green beans!

We really enjoyed the people and how pleasant this 'little' campground is. It is a off the beaten path a bit which made it a nice place to relax. Wifi was terrible (as is all campsite wifi) and cell service was spotty which caused some grief as we needed to keep in touch with the outside world a little. Overall, if I was looking to get away and disconnect, I would come back. - RV Bell's

This is a very pretty park with lots of trees and spacious sites. But the best part of this park is the pride of ownership of the owners. They are constantly cleaning and maintaining the park, and go out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable. The park is spotless and everything works well. It was packed over the 4th of July holiday and yet everything ran smoothly with all of the kiddies being entertained. The beach is nothing special but it is fun for kids and dogs and clam diggers. We would stay here again. It is definitely a hidden gem. - johnanann

Quiet wooded park. Sites are pretty close together. Very friendly and attentive owners and staff. Well stocked little store. Nice grill, serves a good pizza. Walking path down to the beach; the size of which varies greatly depending on the tide. From the numbers of clammers, must be a good location. Wi-Fi at site was fast and strong. Could use a few more TV stations; weekday mornings it's local news or infomercials. Would stay here again if in the area. - Finally Time

Three Hamas Militants Killed in Clashes With Fatah in Gaza Strip
Hamas officials in Nablus and Ramallah kidnapped, Hamas vows to double size of militia following Abbas's ruling.
Three Hamas militants were killed and five were wounded Saturday evening in clashes with a Fatah-related family hours after Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas declared Hamas security forces in Gaza illegal.
The militants, all members of the the Diri family, were killed in an exchange of fire between Hamas and members of the Durmush family, some of whom are affiliated with Fatah, in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City.
Four Hamas militants were kidnapped during the incident.
Another member of Hamas was kidnapped in a separate incident in the Gaza Strip. No further details were available. Earlier, two Hamas officials were kidnapped in separate incidents in the West Bank.
In Nablus, an An- Najah National University lecturer affiliated with Hamas was wounded by six militants apparently belonging to Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
The lecturer, Marwan Kadoumi, was shot in his legs when the militants entered his home. He was evacuated to the hospital in moderate condition.
Earlier Saturday, pro-Fatah gunmen attacked Hamas officials in two separate incidents in the West Bank, security officials said.
In the first incident, gunmen stopped the car of Nablus' deputy mayor, Mahdi al-Khamdali of Hamas, pulled him out and took him away in a separate car, security officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the officials said they believed the kidnappers were supporters of the rival Fatah group.
In Ramallah, meanwhile, gunmen stormed the offices of the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry, shot the office manager, Ihab Suliman, in the legs and took him away, Palestinian security officials said. The man, also a Hamas supporter, was released in a nearby town and hospitalized, the officials said.
Fighting between Abbas's Fatah faction and Hamas has surged since talks on forming a unity government collapsed and Abbas called for early parliamentary and presidential elections. Hamas accused Abbas of mounting a coup.
Late Saturday, Abbas' office said he spoke to United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, briefing her on the current situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip ahead of her upcoming visit.
In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak called on the Palestinians to urgently halt their fighting. Mubarak urged factions to "place Palestinian interests above any other considerations and work together," the official MENA news agency said.
Abbas says Hamas security force in Gaza is illegalIn a statement released on Saturday, Abbas declared that Hamas security forces in Gaza not integrated with PA forces would now be considered illegal.
Abbas made the announcement two days after members of the Hamas force attacked the home of a senior security commander in Gaza, killing the man and seven of his bodyguards. The man was a member of the Preventive Security force, which is loyal to Abbas' Fatah party.
"In light of continued security chaos and assassinations that got to a number of our fighters ... and in light of the failure of existing agencies and security apparatuses in imposing law and order and protecting the security of the citizens, President Mahmoud Abbas decided to reshuffle the security forces and its leadership and to consider the (Hamas) executive force, officers and members, illegal and outside the law," Abbas' office said in a statement.
With Abbas, who was elected in a separate presidential vote, claiming authority over most of the security forces, Hamas last year formed its own unit, known as the "Executive Force."
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas backed the Executive Force and accused Abbas of deepening the rift between the two camps.
"I'm completely convinced that there are those who don't want the Palestinian scene to enjoy calm and stability or to create the appropriate atmosphere for starting serious and deep dialogue aimed at reaching a national unity government," he said.
Members of the black-clad Hamas militia are visible throughout Gaza, and have periodically clashed with the existing pro-Fatah security forces.
More than two dozen people have been killed in the latest wave of factional violence, which erupted early last month. Thursday's attack on the Fatah commander's home in northern Gaza was the bloodiest single battle in the standoff to date.
Abbas has agreed in recent months to integrate the Hamas unit into existing security forces. But those efforts have failed to make progress.
In his statement Saturday, Abbas reiterated the offer but said he would not wait forever. "It will be dealt with accordingly so long as it is not immediately folded into the legal security forces," Abbas said.
Shortly after Abbas's statement was made public, Hamas vowed to double the size of the executive force to 12,000 personnel.
"A decision was taken to increase the number of the executive force to 12,000," said Islam Shahwan, a spokesman of the unit.
"We call upon all sincere citizens to prepare themselves to join the force," Shahwan added.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called Abbas' announcement "misplaced and useless," while Khaled Abu Hilal, spokesman for the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry, accused Abbas of giving a "green light" for attacks on Hamas security men. The militia reports to the Interior Ministry.
Abu Hilal called Abbas' decision hasty, saying it was "a green light to those who seek to shed the blood of the Executive Force members." The unit has repeatedly clashed with rival security forces loyal to Abbas' Fatah movement in recent weeks.
Al-Aksa Martyrs Bridgades force strike in HebronEarlier on Saturday, Gunmen from the Fatah-linked Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades forced a strike in the West Bank city of Hebron, preventing stores from opening and clearing the streets of traffic.
The militants forced the strike as a protest against recent attacks by Hamas on its members in the Gaza Strip that have left a number of people dead in recent days in factional fighting between the two groups.
In the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday, unknown assailants burned the house of Mohammed Ah-Sharafi, a member of the Hamas faction in the Palestinian parliament. In response, Hamas members have threatened to burn the house of Fatah cabinet member Sufian Abu zeida.
Hamas cleric gunned down in GazaA local religious leader who was a frequent critic of the Islamic militant group Hamas was killed in a drive-by shooting Friday as he walked out of a Gaza mosque, witnesses and medical officials said.
Fatah accused Hamas of killing the cleric, saying in a statement: "Sheik Nasar was killed after he came out of the mosque where he criticized Hamas after the crime committed by some of its gunmen yesterday."
Hamas officials said they were investigating the killing. Nasar's assailants pulled up to him in a white car and sped away after the shooting, witnesses said.
Nasar, 50, was not openly affiliated with any political party, but he was a well-known figure in the refugee camp and often preached against Hamas. Shortly before the shooting, Nasar had criticized Thursday's bloody attack on the home of Col. Mohammed Ghayeb, a top Fatah official in northern Gaza, witnesses said.
In his sermon, Nasar warned that God would punish the killers of Ghayeb and his bodyguards. He also said God would punish Palestinian rulers for not preventing the attack, said Jibril Awwar, a friend of the preacher who was lightly wounded in the shooting.
Nasar did not mention Hamas by name, but Awwar said the preacher's message was aimed at the group, which controls most of the Palestinian government.
Hamas: U.S. is funding a 'revolt' against our governmentSenior Hamas official Mushir al-Masri blamed the U.S. on Friday for attempting to promote a revolt against the Hamas government, after U.S. documents showed that the Bush administration will provide $86.4 million to strengthen security forces loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
"We demand that Abbas reject this U.S. policy, which is tearing the Palestinian people apart," he said.
The new policy would expand U.S. involvement in Abbas' power struggle with Hamas.
The U.S. money will be used to "assist the Palestinian Authority presidency in fulfilling PA commitments under the road map to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism and establish law and order in the West Bank and Gaza," a U.S. government document obtained by Reuters said.
Speaking to reporters after Friday prayers in Gaza City, Haniyeh urged Palestinians not to let the violence spill over to the West Bank and to focus on fighting Israel. "Our fight is not an internal one, it's against the occupation," Haniyeh said.
Haniyeh's words were echoed by senior West Bank Fatah official Jibril Rajoub, speaking in the town of Bil'in to supporters celebrating the movement's 42nd anniversary.
"Our battle with Hamas is not a battle of assassination, kidnapping or revenge. Our battle with Hamas is a democratic moral battle," he told a crowd of about 100. "Our battle is with the occupation, not with each other."
Thousands of Palestinians carried bodies draped in yellow flags through pouring rain Friday in a funeral procession for seven Fatah men killed in the bloodiest single battle in weeks of factional fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Dozens of Fatah gunmen marched in the procession, firing in the air and calling for vengeance against the rival Hamas group, which is locked in a power struggle with Fatah over control of the Palestinian government.
Eighth Palestinian dies from wounds sustained in Thursday's attackA Fatah security man on Friday died of wounds sustained in a battle against Hamas militants the previous day, medical officials said, raising the death toll to eight in the bloodiest single battle in weeks of factional fighting in the Gaza Strip.
The bodyguard had been wounded in a Thursday's assault by Hamas gunman on the home of a top Fatah security official. The official and six other bodyguards were killed in Thursday's fighting.

Had the BB replaced on my Lemond so I had to try it out today. 21 mile hilly ride. Got an early start. Finished at 11 am so it was only 90 degrees by the end of the ride. Been to the mall and it aint that cool, so we just stayed home with the AC on low and a fan to conserve.
Watched a Rambo DVD (great in surroundsound). Cuddled and ate a few Popsicles in as little clothes as possible. Ok, I'm hot again!

ST. HELENS, Ore. (AP) — A Columbia County, Ore., judge has changed his mind, saying the mental records of a Kalama, Wash., man accused of killing an Oregon police chief won't be released before a Nov. 17 competency hearing.
The Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/rQpLII ) that Circuit Court Judge Ted Grove previously said he'd release the documents a week before the hearing. On Tuesday, he said he's decided to wait in the interest of preserving Daniel Butts' right to a fair trial.
Butts is charged with aggravated murder in the Jan. 5 shooting death of 55-year-old Rainier, Ore., Police Chief Ralph Painter after the chief responded to a report of a suspicious person at a car stereo shop.
Butts' lawyers argued against release of the records. They contend he is psychotic and unable to aid his defense. The prosecution disagrees.
The 21-year-old was evaluated for 20 days at the Oregon state mental hospital in Salem. He also was evaluated by state doctors in the Columbia County Jail.

text: Posted 14 Dec 2012 · Report post This thread is a concern to me. First, if the argument is about the scripture still being open, than what do you all believe is worthy to be called His words besides scripture? Many writings have already been rejected. They were rejected because the writings did not line up with scripture. Is there something that you believe lines up with scripture written today? If nothing written by any Christian lines up with Scripture, what are we listening to and reading works by theologians, pastors, and teachers for? One thing for sure, they are not scripture. They are their words of what they feel scripture means. Some people spend far too much time reading other mans understand and not enough time in scripture. They place mans teachings on the same par as scripture, if not above scripture. This is when false doctrine appears and are defended. If you cannot trust others to be hearing from God, how can you trust yourself to be hearing from God? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PETALUMA -- The return of Friedman's Home Improvement to Petaluma after nearly four decades is moving forward as the site is being prepared for a store in a new 315,000-square-foot mixed-use center in the city.
[caption id="attachment_77307" align="alignleft" width="385"] When the Friedman's Home Improvement Center at Deer Creek Village in Petaluma is completed, set for next March, it will feature two large "living walls" and larger parking spaces for contractor trucks.[/caption]
Santa Rosa-based Ghilotti Construction Company in early July started preparing the 9.5-acre site for a Friedman's store at Deer Creek Village. The store is scheduled to open in March 2014.
Deer Creek Village (deercreekproject.com), being developed by San Francisco-based Merlone Geier Partners, covers 36.5 acres at the southwest corner of Rainier Avenue and North McDowell Boulevard adjacent to Highway 101.
"Both the Friedman family and MGP owe a special thanks to community leaders and others who championed this project," said Greg Geertsen, managing partner of Merlone Geier Partners. "With support from City Council members Mike Healy, Gabe Kearney, Chris Albertson and Mike Harris, Petaluma will benefit from having a local home improvement store and 800 new jobs in this community."
Deer Creek Village is 60 percent leased, and five tenant lease proposals are in process. It is expected to create 500 permanent retail and office jobs plus 300 construction jobs during the 12- to 18-month building cycle.
The general contractor for the $50 million project is RMC Constructors, Inc., of Fresno. Petaluma-based Midstate Construction served as the construction management firm.
When completed, the development will have 315,000 square feet of retail and office space plus six acres of open space. A new delineation of the wetlands and creek restoration with pedestrian bridges will create a community amenity with walking and cycling paths along with rest and exercise stations.
Friedman's Home Improvement will have an 80,000-square-foot store, 20,000-square-foot garden center and 35,000-square-foot dry shed to house lumber and building supplies.No Petaluma store since 1976

"Street Stories" has a new executive producer, Mike Rubin. Rubin joins the prime time CBS news magazine from "Eye to Eye with Connie Chung," which debuts next month.Rubin, a veteran of "Face to Face with Connie Chung" and "West 57th," has a reputation in the industry as a first-rate producer. "Mike is a true visionary," said CBS News veep Joe Peyronnin. "He is more than ready to run his own show." The question is will the show Rubin runs be "Street Stories," or a reconfigured version of the news mag. The word inside CBS is that the show, anchored by Ed Bradley, may be due for major changes. The show's former exec producer, Andy Lack, who ankled to become prez of NBC News, had been given the mandate to spruce up the show. Honchos from the news and entertainment division meet next week to discuss the future of the show, according to CBS sources. In addition, there are doubts about Bradley's future with the network. It's an open secret that the veteran CBS newsman, whose contract runs through the end of the year, is being courted by ABC News. However, CBS won't lose Bradley without a fight. "We remain committed to Ed Bradley and we remain committed to ('Street Stories')," said Peyronnin.

|Jason Terry gets tattoo of Celtics leprechaun logo balancing NBA's Larry O'Brien championship trophy
|08.12.12 at 11:15 am ET
For your viewing pleasure, Celtics guard Jason Terry shared photos of his newest tattoo: The C's leprechaun logo balancing the Larry O'Brien championship trophy. The tattoo appears on his left biceps opposite another one of the trophy, which he got the summer before the Mavericks' 2010-11 run to the NBA title. Coincidence?

So, when the late second-round Celtics pick in this summer's NBA draft arrived stateside as a 17-year-old high school junior in search of a basketball education, the jet lag lasted a little longer than usual.
'He was pretty lazy,' admitted Clinton Perrow, who coached Joseph for two prep seasons at Archbishop Carroll (Washington, D.C.) from 2006-08. 'A lot of things came to him without a whole lot of effort. Early on, he didn't see the need for conditioning because the game came so easily for him.'
Still, no coach questioned Joseph's potential. Not as an inexperienced junior. Not as ESPNU's No. 50 overall senior recruit in the Class of 2008. Not during a collegiate career that culminated in a Wooden Award finalist bid in his fourth and final season at Syracuse. And not when he fell all the way to the Celtics at No. 52 in the draft.
'When you see him, you know he's a player,' said Curtis Malone, president of the D.C. Assault AAU program that recruited Joseph in 2006. 'And we didn't have to see him much to say, 'We've gotta get this guy on our team.' There were so many moments that made you say, 'Wow, this kid is really, really good.' He's a talent.'
Six years later, Joseph joins undrafted rookies Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith in a three-man battle for the final two spots on the C's 15-man roster. And he still may not have realized that full potential.
"He hadn't played lot of high-level ball until his last two years of high school, so once he puts everything together this kid has so much talent that the upside is huge for him," said Syracuse assistant Adrian Autry, who served as Joseph's positional coach this past season and faced him as a high school assistant at Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.). "He played basketball, but not at that level and not every day. Hockey is the sport in Canada, so once he got into that type of environment where he was playing at a high level and playing every day, he was very impressive."
Joseph's skill set, for the most part, hasn't changed all that much since he made the 600-mile mission from Montreal to Washington, D.C. How seriously he approaches his craft, however, has evolved dramatically.
"After summer league, I had to take a little time off, just for my body," said Joseph during an appearance last week at the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation's Summer Soiree. "Two summer leagues was kind of grueling, but it was a great experience overall. I've just been working out, trying to maintain my body. I've been making sure I've been eating the right things and doing things the right way, just so I can work out. This is a job, so you've got to make sure you do things the right way, especially with your body."
In a way, when Celtics training camp commences at September's end, Joseph's story is only just beginning.
|Irish Coffee: Celtics 'veteran' Avery Bradley emerges from Ray Allen's shadow
|08.10.12 at 11:28 am ET
Two years ago, as a rookie, Avery Bradley actually tried to hide in practice.
'I didn't want to get in, because I was so scared of KG [Kevin Garnett] yelling at me if I messed up,' he said during a panel Thursday hosted by Jessica Camerato at the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation's Summer Soiree. 'I would sit on the sideline. I might not even get in the whole practice, because I didn't want KG to yell at me.'
You forget Bradley's only 21 years old, since he's the elder Celtics statesman on a panel that included newcomers Courtney Lee, Kris Joseph and Dionte Christmas. How far the shy kid has come from Tacoma, Wash.
'We're like a family,' added Bradley, making his third charitable appearance in as many days. 'These guys are going to learn that we're like a family on and off the court. We all hang out. We all go to each other's house. It felt good to be part of a family, and I felt a lot more comfortable around the guys.'
It was once almost impossible to elicit more than a few words from Bradley, who could often be found fixating on the floor from a chair at his locker. Now? Camerato couldn't get him to stop talking.
'You guys are going to be happy once we start that first day of training camp because all we want to do is win,' he added. 'We're a family. We don't care about anything but winning. To be part of a team like that, it makes you feel comfortable, because there's no pressure. You're not going out there worrying about scoring or doing things you can't do. You do your role and everything else will work itself out and we'll win games.'
The only subjects he wouldn't expound upon were his right and left shoulders, deftly explaining, 'I'm just taking it day by day,' four times during an interview session prior to the public panel. And when someone from the crowd later blurted out, 'Avery, when you coming back?' he simply smiled and said, 'Can't tell you.'
Of course, it wasn't always so easy for Bradley. As a rookie, he averaged only 5.2 minutes over just 31 games, shooting 34.3 percent from the field and precisely 0.0 percent from 3-point range. And it seemed worse.
|Courtney Lee: Joining Celtics 'a no-brainer for me'
|08.09.12 at 9:34 pm ET
Here's all you need to know about Celtics sign-and-trade acquisition Courtney Lee before this NBA season begins: He took less money to play in Boston, and he doesn't care whether he starts or comes off the bench.
"I had a lot of different offers from a lot of different teams, but the one I really wanted to come to was Boston," Lee said Thursday from the Boston Children's Museum, where the Celtics held their Summer Soiree to benefit the Shamrock Foundation. "So, I spoke to my agent and I spoke to my family. It was a decision that I had to take less money to come here, but in that I'll be winning, I'll have a chance to play on TV. That's what everybody wants to do. They want to win big and a chance to win a ring, so it was a no-brainer for me."
In town for his first public appearance as a member of the Celtics and to find a place to live for at least part of his four-year, $21.5 million contract, Lee joins a shooting guard logjam along with Avery Bradley and Jason Terry after being signed-and-traded from the Rockets in a complicated deal that involved the Celtics shipping JaJuan Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, Sean Williams, Sasha Pavlovic and three second-round draft picks out of Boston.
Still, when asked if he preferred starting to backing up Bradley upon his return from surgery on both shoulders, Lee said all the right things while not giving up too much outside of the fact he and Celtics coach Doc Rivers have already discussed his role "in details" over dinner multiple times.
|Irish Coffee: Where in the world are current Celtics?
|08.08.12 at 3:34 pm ET
We're less than two months away from the start of Celtics training camp, so now is as good a time as any to take a roster role call. There are 16 players currently under contract — or, in Jeff Green's case, under agreement to a contract — with the Celtics, and all have popped up at various times and in various places across the globe this summer, so let's quickly review their last known whereabouts and salary structure.
BRANDON BASS: Teaching basketball in China.
'I've got big dreams, man,' he told reporters at a press conference last month. 'I'm 27. Some of my cousins think I'm getting old, but I'm still young, and I've got big dreams of doing big things in the league. I want to make my imprint on an organization, and on a team. I think this is the perfect team to do that.'
Contract: Reportedly owed $20 million spread out over next three seasons.
AVERY BRADLEY: Praising Ray Allen. And recovering from double shoulder surgery.
"Ray was a great tutor," Bradley told ESPN.com. "I'm sad that he's gone, but we all wish the best for him. But he definitely meant a lot. He helped me out every single day. Sometimes I'd just be working out and he'd be watching on the side. He'd get up and tell me what I needed to work on, or tell me how I can be more consistent."
As for his shoulder rehab? "I'm just ready to do whatever my team needs me to do," he added. "I'm just going to be prepared and ready to go out there and do my role, and do whatever my team needs me to do to win games."
|Irish Coffee: 10 things I Heard About Celtics
|08.03.12 at 2:28 pm ET
If watching Celtics strength and conditioning coach Bryan Doo attempt to defend three-time NBA All-Star Rajon Rondo (see video above, h/t ballislife.com) isn't enough enjoyment for one Friday afternoon in the NBA's dog days of August, here is the latest edition of 10 Things I Heard About Celtics, where despite another slow news day we gather all the information we can about Boston's green men.
10. Green peace: Well, I guess this one falls more under "things I haven't heard about Celtics," since inquiries about Green to the team and his agent David Falk have so far gone unanswered, so in all likelihood his reported four-year, $36 million deal remains unsigned.
Obviously, since he cannot be signed-and-traded as a result of the new collective bargaining agreement, the first reason that comes to mind for such a delay is Green's health following heart surgery this past winter, but I can think of two other possibilities: 1) The two sides are ironing out clauses that would protect the team against the possibility of a recurring heart ailment, and/or 2) The CBA is so complicated, and the Celtics are so close to the salary cap, Danny Ainge & Co. are waiting to see if they'll use the bi-annual exception.
If the Celtics begin the season with a minimum salary player rather than using their exception this season, they can frontload Green's deal for an extra million dollars, so they could potentially free up some cap space — however small it may be — in Year 2, 3 or 4 of the deal. Then again, the delay might involve an entirely different scenario altogether. With both sides remaining mum on the issue, it's all speculation at this point.
|Irish Coffee: How Kevin Garnett cements his Celtics legacy and ensures his number retires to the Garden rafters
|08.01.12 at 2:12 pm ET
It didn't take long after being traded on July 31, 2007 for Kevin Garnett to carve his name into Celtics lore. He poured the foundation for his legacy when he helped deliver the franchise's 17th NBA championship, but has he cemented it enough to ensure his number will join the 20 others retired to the Garden rafters?
Garnett's impact goes far beyond statistics, so the C's may have already reserved a square to stitch his number between Cedric Maxwell's No. 31 and Paul Pierce's No. 34, but his three-year extension should assure him of never seeing another Celtic don the No. 5 again. And that assertion can be put into numbers.
Already, Garnett's 5,229 regular-season points and 1,393 postseason points in a Celtics uniform rank him 27th and 16th in franchise history, respectively. Once you consider his 2,771 rebounds and 919 assists in the regular season as well as his 748 rebounds and 198 assists in the playoffs, he joins lists that already only respectively include 17 and seven Celtics players. The question remains: How much higher can Garnett climb?

Does learning still have clout?
An AP English III class full of seniors was recently stumped over the definition of one word: clout. Most of the students were frustrated that they could miss such a simple question, and all wondered how it is relevant. Susan Davis, the teacher of this English class at Edmond Santa Fe High School, attributed the students' problem with a lack of cultural literacy. She said when reading any type of literature of merit, cultural literacy "allows the reader to see the beauty of depth that the writer employed when writing." Davis said widespread reliance on technology contributes to an entire generation missing this acquired knowledge. "I believe the same technology that makes life easier is also stealing time from the younger generation — time that could be used to read and embrace new knowledge," she said. "… In our quest for things to entertain and wow, many have left the simple pleasure of learning just to learn." Dee Dobson, an Edmond mother of two teenagers and a former elementary school teacher, said education starts in the home but technology can skew family communication. "We are losing the art of communication," she said. "My generation did not have the need to be entertained all the time ... Kids are longing for quality time with their parents, and when it is not given to them, they isolate themselves with video games, phones, and television." Scott LaMascus, an English professor at Oklahoma Christian University, said there are multiple factors contributing to a lack of cultural literacy. One is the current state of television. "In media, everything is fast-paced, and students want instant gratification when it comes to learning," LaMascus said. "We need to have patience. … We can't have microwave education." LaMascus said the media is not totally at fault and thinks good teachers can connect students with new material once they gain a student's trust as a reliable and interesting source. LaMascus' classroom motto is, "Everybody teaches, everybody learns." With a productive class and a responsive and approachable teacher, "students will find a reason to learn outside of what they already know," he said. But if students head down a path of complacency, "the beauty in the depth of the written word will eventually elude future generations," Davis said. Dobson said she still has hope. "Our culture puts value on success, money, and fame," she said. "If we can learn to prioritize our time and energy, future generations will experience a desire to learn."

Cursive writing may be fading skill, but so what?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. Charleston resident Kelli Davis was in for a surprise when her daughter brought home some routine paperwork at the start of school this fall. Davis signed the form and then handed it to her daughter for the eighth-grader's signature.
"I just assumed she knew how to do it, but I have a piece of paper with her signature on it and it looks like a little kid's signature," Davis said.
Her daughter was apologetic, but explained that she hadn't been required to make the graceful loops and joined letters of cursive writing in years. That prompted a call to the school and another surprise.
West Virginia's largest school system teaches cursive, but only in the 3rd grade.
"It doesn't get quite the emphasis it did years ago, primarily because of all the technology skills we now teach," said Jane Roberts, assistant superintendent for elementary education in Kanawha County schools.
Davis' experience gets repeated every time parents, who recall their own hours of laborious cursive practice, learn that what used to be called "penmanship" is being shunted aside at schools across the country in favor of 21st century skills.
The decline of cursive is happening as students are doing more and more work on computers, including writing. In 2011, the writing test of the National Assessment of Educational Progress will require 8th and 11th graders to compose on computers, with 4th graders following in 2019.
"We need to make sure they'll be ready for what's going to happen in 2020 or 2030," said Katie Van Sluys, a professor at DePaul University and the president of the Whole Language Umbrella, a conference of the National Council of Teachers of English.
Handwriting is increasingly something people do only when they need to make a note to themselves rather than communicate with others, she said. Students accustomed to using computers to write at home have a hard time seeing the relevance of hours of practicing cursive handwriting.
"They're writing, they're composing with these tools at home, and to have school look so different from that set of experiences is not the best idea," she said.
Text messaging, e-mail, and word processing have replaced handwriting outside the classroom, said Cheryl Jeffers, a professor at Marshall University's College of Education and Human Services, and she worries they'll replace it entirely before long.
"I am not sure students have a sense of any reason why they should vest their time and effort in writing a message out manually when it can be sent electronically in seconds."
For Jeffers, cursive writing is a lifelong skill, one she fears could become lost to the culture, making many historic records hard to decipher and robbing people of "a gift."
That fear is not new, said Kathleen Wright, national product manager for handwriting at Zaner-Bloser, a Columbus, Ohio-based company that produces a variety of instructional material for schools.
"If you go back, you can see the same conversations came up with the advent of the typewriter," she said.
Every year, Zaner-Bloser sponsors a national handwriting competition for schools, and this year saw more than 200,000 entries, a record.
"Everybody talks about how sometime in the future every kid's going to have a keyboard, but that isn't really true."
Few schools make keyboards available for day-to-day writing. The majority of school work, from taking notes to essay tests, is still done by hand.
At Mountaineer Montessori in Charleston, teacher Sharon Spencer stresses cursive to her first- through third-graders. By the time her students are in the third grade, they are writing book reports and their spelling words in cursive.
To Spencer, cursive writing is an art that helps teach them muscle control and hand-eye coordination.
