“Having kids has helped them focus and has really helped Jordan,” UNT coach Tony Benford said. “It’s not about them anymore. They can’t be selfish, have to take care of their academics and work hard.

It’s been a couple weeks since trick or treat, and I’ve been doing my part to put a dent in the gigantic bag of Starbursts in the pantry. It’s just so much work, all the unwrapping.I’ve stopped making desserts “Just go eat some Halloween candy!” and find myself contemplating, in my vast supply of down time, why The Minds Behind Starbursts (unicorns?) decided on Mysterious Mango as a flavor.Also, are Tootsie Rolls still a relevant candy? How did Skittles get their name? How much business did the Baby Ruth guys lose or gain after the movie “Caddy Shack”?And last but not least, is it just me, or have “fun size” candy bars gotten a lot less “fun” in the last couple decades? The diminutive size almost ALMOST legitimizes the kids who come up to your doorstep and ask for a piece of candy for their six month old sibling who is obviously not going to be eating jawbreakers anytime soon.Halloween candy is just a taste, of course, of the phenomenon I’ve dubbed “The Leftover Syndrome,” experienced by Parental Garbage Disposals everywhere.You know chip crumbs, a spoonful of mac ‘n cheese here, pepperoni off someone’s pizza there, the single Oreo left in the package. Perfectly good food that is shunned or unnoticed by the rest of the family but that would be a shame to waste (or return to the shelf alone in a box).With Halloween candy, all the good stuff goes first: candy bars in any combination of nuts, chocolate, peanut butter and caramel; name brand fruity things; anything that might be pitched during a commercial break between episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.Second tier offerings include the tiny but rewarding Smarties and Nerds; gummy Lifesavers and the Starburst candies that require five minutes of unwrapping for 10 seconds of chewy cheap jordans, fruity payoff.(Diatribe: Not only is this annoying, it also makes it appear to everyone else based solely upon the sea of colorful wrappings that tend to accumulate in your general vicinity that you’ve eaten more than you actually have.
Eric Sondberg had seven of his team high 10 points for the Seahawks (0 2) in the quarter, but Annapolis was still able to extend its lead. That sent starters Jones, Ralph and company to the bench for a rare fourth quarter break. Jones rarely finishes in single digits, but his scoring prowess was simply not needed on this opening night..
Thanks to Donald Sterling you NBA players know it is how much their worth for as long as they can win. LeBron listened and learned from former players who gave everything for the game while getting a few million and the owners continued to make billions. Fans and others are upset because they see the current players as greedy while the same people can name a retired superstar looking for a job.
