Former Nebraska guard Jaz Shelley released by Phoenix Mercury
Making a WNBA roster is extremely difficult — there are just 12 teams and 12 spots per team — and former Nebraska guard Jaz Shelley felt that reality when she was released by the Phoenix Mercury just before the regular season begins this week. Shelley was one of seven players cut by the Phoenix Mercury at the end of the preseason. Phoenix opens the regular season on Tuesday at Las Vegas. About one month ago, Shelley was the 29th overall pick of the WNBA draft and chosen by Phoenix with the fifth pick of the final round. The Mercury released both of their recent draft picks, Shelley and UCLA guard Charisma Osborne.

Here's to Baltimore's beloved Other Mothers.
I read Dan Rodricks’ column on Miss Margie with a tear in my eye (“Dan Rodricks: In Baltimore, celebrating the Other Mother from next door,” May 10). I knew Miss Margie from St. Casimir’s Church and the Hatton Senior Center and, of course, from just seeing her walking around Canton. My story has to do with a discussion with her at a breakfast or lunch at St. Casimir’s after Mass. I was telling her that my family owned Julian’s Polish Cocktail lounge on Boston Street during the 1940’s and 1950’s. But in the long run, they acquired other families as is the story of Miss Margie and Pam Rostek-Kuwazaki.
