Richard Cooper - October 20, 2014
Obama Administration's fumbled response to the Ebola threat has both political parties giving the President's team a resounding thumbs down. To calm an anxious public, the President decided to tap a veteran Washington political insider, Ron Klain, to coordinate the messaging and response going forward. This is a suspect decision with hints of politics where there should be none.
David Olive - September 30, 2014
Every so often, a federal agency does something so questionable that it makes one shake his head in disbelief. This is about saving bagpipes and other musical instruments from seizure by federal officials at the U.S. border. It is a tragedy in the making.

It is no secret that the Mongolians distrust China, which often translates into a dislike for the Chinese people as well.
What is amusing though is to observe that our correspondent feels that "reasons for the animosity are not immediately obvious". Not obvious? All of Mongolia is claimed by China! How would it feel if your entire country is declared a disputed territory and claimed by another country? As the article admits, but for USSR/Russian, by now Mongolia might have been absorbed by China. Mongolians would have met the fate of the Tibetans.
Lastly, the manner in which the Chinese living in Mongolia pretend to be Koreans is also very revealing :-)
China needs to reconcile with the fact that the age of imperialism is long gone, that it cannot go around laying a claim on any territory that has people with Mongoloid features, and that it already has enough land. Peace can yield better results than geo-political hooliganism.
I wonder where are you talking about that China is hooligan for geo-politic?? Did China stationed military bases in all corner of the world??? Please give us some insider tips on this.
@ AusChin
"Obviously you don't know Chinese history very well. When the Mongols conquered China, in racism and fear of Han people, they degraded Han people to the lowest level of society, and imported Arabs and Persians to administer the country. All the Han bureacrats lost their livelihood in the society. Arabs and foreigners had greater rights than Han people. If that is not racism, your definition of racism is stupid."
>>>>> History is history. British brought in Indian and Napoli in Hong Kong as police and soldier. So they are racism !!??
Yes and No. They just don't trust HK Chinese and more fear was China's communist will make problem in HK. It was no joke during 1967 riots in HK.
"You are talking about a small nation of only 2.6 million people to host neo nazi political thinking. There wouldn't be conflict between Inner and Outer Mongols if most of them are happy friendly people. Where else in Asia would you find such thoughts. Oh wait Japan, no surpise they are barbaric too, and western countries. This is also the same nation that still worship a genocidal tyrant from 700 years ago as father of the nation."
>>> Neo Nazi happened in all over the world now, not only a products of Germany or Mongolai. It is just a sick world phenomenon.
You sound very radical!!

Mongolians don't hate China because of some propaganda, they are the only part of the Qing empire that successfully declared independence from China.
If Mongolians want to herd sheep and leave their mineral resources undeveloped, that's their business. It would be nice if they shared it with the rest of the world but they are not required to do so.
I always find it strange when Chinese people say stuff like, "And the Chinese helped them build many infrastructures such as schools, hospitals, railways, and so on."
That doesn't buy the loyalty of the people. You can look at Chinese history itself when the Western countries built "many infrastructures such as schools, hospitals, railways, and so on." across China at the end of the 19th century. People will resist foreign control.
@ New Conservative
I remembered Xizi abandoned China's first train built by British company with a different reason, not hate!! She think it is useless. You see how conservative Qing was. :D :D

"I mean its China who build this ideal of harmonious relationship between the races. What have Outer Mongolians done? Apparently Chinese people attacked in Inner Mongolia can't even get justice?"
Please. Every major culture committed atrocities.
Harmony was built out of the barrel of a gun.
China is Mongolia and Mongolia is China. From Genghis Khan's era, Kublai, the Yuan Dynasty managed to merge the territories that are now separated. This continued through to the Qing Dynasty under the present day split. Of course on and off certain territories rebelled and declared separation but socially they aren't separated because the people historically just roamed about the entire place freely. Believeably relations were better than. During the Ming Dynasty, the Han didn't embark on punitive missions against the Mongol ethnic. The Manchurians did most of such expedition and before them the Jin Dynasty. The Mongols although ruling the Han ethnics at one time was not a terror either. In fact maybe the Yuan Dynasty did demonstrate that there were good attributes both from the Mongol's way of life and the Han's way of life depending on the circumstances. With more than 500 years of living next to one another and within one another, there are bound to be Mongol ethnics with Han blood and Han ethnics with Mongol blood. It wasn't until Western ideologies separated the Mongol and the Han people that this relationship becomes difficult to manage. Frankly between the Mongol and the Han, if they can find ways to achieve a win win situation, they will both benefit more together but it does look like both will benefit less together.
"Despite their small size (approximately 200,000 people at height of their empire), the Mongols played an important part in early world history. Rising initially under the leadership of Genghis Khan, the Mongols created the largest land empire in world history, encompassing 13.8 million square miles and more than 100 million people under their rule. At their height, they controlled most of China, Korea, Afghanistan, Georgia, Armenia, Russia, and Hungary, and all lands in between."

You have a sick and twisted mind. Why is everyone Indian to you? Did you get demoted from your position in propaganda department?
Come on!! No way he's a comrade in the propaganda department! The comrades there are just too political polite to say anything that annoys any anybody of any nation, they are trained to be that way, and I thought you knew tons....
Mongolia and China? Seriously, this is a full fledged article in Economist.
I have a feeling Nordichorseman is not a Mongol. Since he writes every well in English, he is obviously well educated. Yet he seems to give out a lot of misinformation.
A well educated Mongol who is fluent in English would not be dumb enough to bite the hand that feeds him.
As the article says, China buys 80% of its export and sells to it 50% of its import.
"COUNTRIES choose their friends but not their neighbours",so says the Economist. But Mongolia can choose its neighbors
Mongolia can have more neighbors by returning itself to the fold of China, the country most Mongolians (7 out of 10 roughly) call home today and the land Mongolians used to be the boss yesterday for quite some time.
Mongolia was torn away from China to create a buffer state between China and Russia more or less a hundred years ago when China was unable to fend for itself. That's all right and that's the reality and I think Chinese have long come to terms with that.
But time has changed and the utility of having a buffer state between China and Russia is no longer meaningful and such idea today is as silly as to yanking out the lower part of Alberta and Saskatchewan as some buffer state between Canada and USA. For the sake of Mongolia, it's a sensible thing to do---by rejoining China.
In the mean time, Mongolia is finding itself sandwiched not just by and between Russia and China, but increasingly with other ingredients got thrown in, the US, Japan, Koreas, and even India is trying to join the fray.
Now I know a sandwich is meant to be eaten.
Some how Mongolia is going to have to not let Russia and China take over their commodities. One of the best ways of doing that is to find friends somewhere else. The tough part is that Mongolia is land locked by China and Russia. China who is slowly becoming the biggest and badest economy on the planet would like nothing more than to see Mongolian exports come directly to them. Some how they would find a way to get them cheap as well and not give this economy what they truly deserve...peace and independence from Chinese and Russian rule
I have been traveling from U.S. to China several times a year in the past decades, and I met 3 Mongols women, who married to American. Since I did not carry luggage, these 3 women all come over to ask me to help them use my name to check-in the luggage for them.
We started to talk about Mongolia and China and America. It is true, most Mongols don't like Chinese even twice as many Mongols live in China as in Mongolia, I also learn they do not have direct flight from U.S. to Mongolia, they have to stay in Beijing over night or transfer from Beijing. I also know most countries do not have embassy in Mongolia, they have to go to Beijing.
I have several personal Chinese Mongolian friends; I also met several dancing Mongolian girls in Sanlitun bar districts.
Qing Dynasty is established by ethic Mongolian, so the whole China was under Mongolian's control. Of course, Mongolia is part of China. Mongolia is part of Qing Dynasty as well. Actually, if you take a look at the map of China published by Republic of China in 1945, Mongolia is part of China too. Now-a-days, Mongolian travel back and forth of the border of both countries all the times, the border is hard to notice in most places….
I understand Mongolia become independent under USSR's pressured to China. There was a referendum voted by the people of outer Mongolian. USSR gave Outer Mongolia lots of economic support before USSR collapsed.
In my own humble opinion, the reasons Outer Mongolian does not like Chinese are:
1. USSR propaganda.
2. Chinese people went to Mongolia to make money; some of them do not respect the culture and history.
3. Some uneducated people in Mongolia do not know what is going on in the world.
China has many minorities, we are all Chinese. I think eventually, Mongolia will be part of China, if Chinese treat Mongolian right and fair. May be they are too polite or too nice to argue with me, or whatever the reason, all the Mongolian I met seems to agree with me after I talk to them for a while….
I know it is not going to happen and there is lots of mistrust at the present time. I think it would be good for both countries to re-unite the lost brothers ….
Well so far, many of the comments on here seem to bear out Mongolia's distrust of China - the way people talk about this country's failures and problems with obvious glee is indicative of some deep seated racism.
It is no wonder they worry when people bring up historical incidents from almost a millineum ago to justify or denigrate something.
To discuss people's race as if it is a indicator of prosperity, industriousness or intelligence is racist in the extreme.
A small population and barren landscape is no hindrance to prosperity as my country knows East Wind.... grow up. Also stop telling people what Europeans think, you have proven time and time again that you have no idea what Europeans think:
"Mongols are viewed with low esteem by Europeans"
"IN EUROPEAN Culture---Europeans used to frighten their children into behaving good by saying--- " be be a good boy---otherwise the Mongol barbarians will eat you up for lunch..."
Both are outright lies and you know it!
Mongolia may be poor, but it is no poorer than China is poor when compared to the west.
Mongolia's GDP per capita (PPP) is 53% of China's. China's is 16% of the US's. There's a comparison that shows how poor people are.
With only 2.8 million people, you watch Mongolia's income rise and overtake China's with China buying up all these resources.

Mongolian Street Children
"The removal from the Soviet Block cause the most devastating social impact. In five years more than one third of the population was reduced to very grave poverty".
The price of independence.
The United States needs to put a whole lot more effort into befriending Mongolia and capitalizing on that friendship. Mongolia is rich with resources and it is imperative that America follows suit of China and the Russians and get in on the exports that Mongolia is providing to those involved. It is surprising that Mongolia can provide so many resources, but maybe it takes a faltering economy investing in a wild card for some resources to give the much needed stimulation to their respective economy.
The idea of obtaining true independence is something everyone strives towards. Mongolia produces many highly-demanded resources, however, because of their Chinese neighbors, they cannot allow themselves to be truly independent. China is a huge dominating factor in Mongolia and many mongols do not like to accept this idea. It's hard to blame them, though.
I understand Mongolia's concerns pertaining to becoming too dependent on the economies of China and Russia, however in this situation it really doesn't make sense to not exploit their neighbors' economic growth. Let's face it, Mongolia is not exactly a world power economically speaking. They could easily sell their natural resources to Russia and China and earn themselves some global respect through these countries. Sure Mongolia may be skeptical of China because of past violence but that was 100 years ago. I don't mean to be insensitive but they should get over it and allow themselves to benefit from China's economic growth.
I once knew a fine lieutenant in the American Army during the Vietnam war who was a Mongolian American. Yes, he definitely hated Chinese. He kept hoping the Chinese would enter the war so that he could kill some. I kept telling him that the Chinese had a border war and falling out with the Soviet Union and therefore the prospect of the Chinese entering the war was slim to none. It was the Soviets who backed the North Vietnamese war of aggression against the south at that point. China had backed out.
I'm not sure how long his family had been in America, but it could not have been removed from Mongolia that long.
He was a swash-buckling, bad-ass sort of guy. I have no idea why he hated Chinese so much. He never told me and I never asked.
Of course this was just one guy. That doesn't mean all Mongolians are that way. I believe he is the only person of Mongolian descent that I have ever known.

Some scary moments on the road this morning in Lincoln after a pickup truck and a school bus collided just after 8:00 a.m.
Lancaster County Sheriff's Office says emergency crews responded to the crash at the intersection of 25th and Gage Road in southern Lancaster County.
The accident involved a Norris Public School bus driven by Ronny Aden of Cortland and a pickup driven by Jeffrey Hall of Hickman. The bus was going east on Gage Road and the pickup was headed south on 25th street as they both entered the uncontrolled intersection.
Forty-one students were on the bus. Twenty-one of those students suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals. The driver of the pickup suffered what deputies describe as significant injuries. He was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office says concerned parents should report to the Norris High School multi-purpose room where school officials are standing by to provide any additional information.

Is this usable?
I'm not aware of anyone (including myself) using it in production yet. Here be dragons.
What is this?
A lightweight web framework for Ruby, heavily influenced by Aphront.
There are 3 main components to a Sidewalk application:
- Several Controllers
- The Application
- A URI-map; this is a hash where the keys are Strings containing regexp patterns, and the values are Controller classes, or their names (Strings or Symbols).
URI's are mapped from String regexp patterns to make things more compatible between Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9; under 1.9, this is mapped on to the standard Regexp class, but in 1.8, Sidewalk depends on Oniguruma and uses that instead.
Hello, World
In the form of a 'config.ru':
require 'sidewalk'
class HelloController < Sidewalk::Controller
def response
"Hello, world."
urimap = {
'$' => :HelloController,
run Sidewalk::Application.new(urimap)
Sidewalk::ControllerMixins::ViewTemplates provides a #render method that acts like you expect, and you're probably also interested in Sidewalk::Request and Sidewalk::Controller.
What about variables in the URLs?
Use standard named captures - for example, this provides an 'id' parameter
urimap = {
'$' => :IndexController,
'posts/' => {
'$' => :PostsController,
'(?<id>\d+)$' => :PostController,
What's different compared to Rails?
Some major differences compared to Rails:
- There's much less of it. This has its' good sides, but it also means less features.
- There is no standard layout for URLs - it's entirely up to you.
- Each controller deals with one kind of page. This is by comparison to the same controller class being responsible for both /foo/ and /foo/123
- Parameters in the url are standard named regular expression captures - no custom syntax.
- By default, there's no explicit view support - include Sidewalk::ControllerMixins::ViewTemplates to get support for ERB, HAML, and RXhp - and it's easy to add support for other languages.
There is little magic, and you don't need to use it:
- Sidewalk will automatically load config/environment.rb and config/production|testing|development.rb as appropriate
- It will also load any similarly-named .yaml files into the Sidewalk::Config hash
- If you put 'FooController' in your URI-map, but don't require, Sidewalk will look for it in controllers/

Reviving Dying Towns

In recent months, I've been talking with a few academic types about how some of the older industrial towns in the Northeast are starting to regain some life as suburbs to larger cities. Having been central cities, they have some of the amenities that downtown-dwellers like -- theaters and the like -- but they offer lower prices a la suburbs.
MIT's Lorlene Hoyt, for example, is working with Lawrence, Massachusetts, on some of its revitalization efforts. And the folks at the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program are all over this idea. Their big report on nine older metro areas in Pennsylvania is here.
It was interesting, in this context, to hear an interview on NPR the other day with Bathsheba Monk, who has written a book of short stories set in the Pennsylvania coal country. She raises this issue of revitalization and change on her home turf:
"All of these towns, I guess they're like - Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, they're like towns all over America now who are trying - they're trying to decide what they want to be now that they're no longer industrial centers. I'd say this area, the Lehigh Valley, has a better chance of becoming something just because it's so close to New York and Philadelphia, and one of the things it's trying to become is a bedroom community for New York and Philadelphia, and the other thing it's becoming is a gambling casinos - that's on the block next. That's what we're going to become, a gambling center."

Relative yields on U.S. corporate bonds may widen more than those on government-backed mortgage securities when the Federal Reserve tapers its debt buying, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.
Even as the central bank's $85 billion of monthly Treasurys and mortgage-bond purchases give it an outsized presence in the market for home-loan securities, harder-to-trade company debentures may face more damage if a reduction in the asset buying triggers a steep drop in debt prices, the New York-based bank's securitized products strategy team including Vishwanath Tirupattur and Vipul Jain said in a report.
"In a sharp-selloff scenario that leads to money-manager redemptions, lower liquidity in the corporate sector may turn out to be a bigger liability," they wrote.
The Fed began adding $40 billion of mortgage securities a month to its balance sheet in September 2012 in the start of its third round of bond buying known as quantitative easing, or QE, intended to stimulate the economy.
When including reinvestments in the market with proceeds from its holdings, the central bank is acquiring about 70 percent of mortgage-bond issuance, a share that's growing as higher interest rates reduce new loans being used by homeowners to refinance, according to Morgan Stanley.
Liquidity Liability
While the analysts' "base case" is that spreads on agency mortgage-backed securities will widen more as the Fed reduces debt purchases next year, lower liquidity in corporate notes may prove to be a bigger liability, they said.
The extra yield investors demand to own company notes instead of Treasurys fell to 0.93 percentage point more than spreads on agency mortgage bonds, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show. That's down from as much as 2.37 percentage points in 2010.
With the gap about the least since the crisis, "any widening in the MBS market is likely to entice money managers from corporates back into mortgages," the analysts said.
Morgan Stanley's economists are predicting that the Fed will cut back on its mortgage-debt buying more slowly than its Treasury purchases, "which we don't think is currently being fully reflected" in the mortgage-bond market, the analysts wrote in the report.
Spreads on mortgage securities widened to 0.47 percentage point from 0.25 percentage point at the end of 2012, while those for corporates narrowed to 1.4 percentage point from 1.54 percentage point, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show.

INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Chemicals Industry ETF'
The chemicals sector includes a broad range of companies, including manufacturers and distributors of paint, industrial gases and agricultural products such as potash. Chemical industry components of basic materials ETFs would typically include companies such as Du Pont and Dow Chemical. In agriculture ETFs, the chemical sector is represented by companies such as Monsanto.

I just purchased this duo last week and OMG the pigmentation on is soo good, the texture is so silky, and smooth, for reference I'm NC30 in Prolongwear, and this duo gives me a soft sun-kissed glow, beautiful and its only 3 dollars!! The pigmentation is so good I actually used it for my eyeshadow this morning while rushing I was for my final ( i don't know if I'm supposed to but I did lol), a little prime and prep & shadow insurance and i was all set in less than 5 min lol
Great product! Never thought I'd get so much out of this $3 duo, I really just wanted to try some ELF product and this was my first. I'm very impressed as it is very pigmented and cheap. Like some, I don't think the blush is a dupe for NARS orgasm because it is much lighter and less shimmery. However, it is still a good blush. I use the bronzer more than the blush as I like to pair it with orgasm. It is rare to for a drug store brand to really get it right and still give us a cheap alternative to higher end brands. Although I don't have the NARS duo I think this ELF duo does the job well!
I'm not sold. The blush barely shows up on my NC25 skin. The bronzer is a bit muddy on me. I only own Laguna and I prefer Laguna so much better than this duo. Sorry, ELF.
This is great for me when I travel. The bronzer has schimmer but it is not obvious, works for contouring or allover to add tan color. The blush has been compared to NARS orgasm but it is really not as intense. There is less gold, and the pink is paler. Still it is a nice subtle color for my NC25-30 skin. Packaging is simple, but sturdy n slim. Easy to pack, n lots of product for this price. Gonna last me forever as u don't need much each time becos it is pigmented.
I love the bronzer, even though it is shimmery. I use it to contour my cheek bones and temples every day, and it looks very natural on my skin. (i am very pale, so i still blend it out, of course!). I don't really use the blush in this, because its verry light and comes out as just shimmer on me, no color really. I would buy this again, just for the bronzer, at that price.
I love this duo. I don't have the Nars Orgasm/Laguna duo, so I cannot speak to them being similar, but they work well for me. The colors are pigmented, to the point where one needs to be careful how much they pick up, especially with the bronzer. Both colors look very natural on my light skin. In terms of longevity, I think they are good. Sometimes I put these over a cream blush base and that seems to make them last a bit longer, but even without it, they do well on me, around 6-8 hours depending on what I'm doing and how much I'm sweating.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I take no issue with the shimmer, I don't know if it's that I have a light hand or what, but I don't see much in that sense in any light. ( if you simply must have a matte contour/bronzer I encourage you to look into E.L.F.'s bronzers in cool and warm, they're totally matte and you have some different shades in the palette to choose from.)
The packaging is really nice, and I appreciate that they haven't littered it with a pointless brush. The one thing that may bother some folks is that the consistency tends towards the powdery side. My own feelings are, 'whatever'. I have had no trouble with this breaking me out, and I have pretty sensitive skin.
Another thing that I do with this set, when I'm in a hurry or feeling lazy, is use the bronzer as a lid color, blended up slightly past the crease and a bit below the lower lash line. It makes me look more 'done', it's easy, natural looking, and the color makes my green eyes pop.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really love the bronzer for contouring it's just perfect! The blush is okay, though it doesn't really show up on my skin. I still use it sometimes though. I will repurchase this again though!
I love to use the bronzer in this as a contour, I just use a light hand by dipping the brush in the pan instead of swiping it, and it works on my NC20 skintone. I apply it in a 3 pattern along the sides of my face and under my cheekbones, and it gives a nice defined matte look. The blush side I have to work a bit more to get to show up, usually applying 3 layers to get a nice pinky peach flush. I have the Nars duo, and find that Orgasm is more pigmented and peachy in color, with more of an iridescent golden glow finish to it. Would definitely repurchase.
I'd say for the price of this item, you have nothing to lose. It's only $3!!! The peachy pink blush side is a versatile color that works on practically all skin tones! It has a little shimmer to it too, but not to the point where you'll look like a disco ball. It gives you a NICE GLOW! I mainly bought this product for the bronzer side though. I don't use it for bronzing, 'cause it's TOO DARK for me. I'm an NC30-35 in MAC and I use the bronzer side for contouring. The only CON to it is that it's a little hard to blend, but it's a PERFECT color for me to contour! I can't complain for the price! 2 for 1. =)
I love this product! Great to keep in the purse! I love the pigmentation of both the blush and the bronzer!!

Rafters defile St. Joe
I read with interest The Spokesman-Review story "Anglers back Trout Release" (July 22).
On a recent Friday trip up the St. Joe to Spruce Tree Campground, I counted 486 people rafting. On my return, Saturday, I counted 826. I spoke with the new owner of the St. Joe Lodge and he said he sees as many as 1,000-1,500 rafters per day.
Where do these people pool/pee/and puke? Several women were eager to show their assets while rafting so I have to assume that alcohol was involved. Guessing that a person produced one gallon of waste while eating and drinking on their float, I imagine that 500 to 1,000 gallons of raw sewage is deposited in the St. Joe and Coeur'Alene drainages per day. This is not to mention garbage. Those people who own property or have the resource to enjoy these pristine places obviously do not care about the impact of thousands of gallons of raw sewage released per day.
Fish and Wildlife is responsible for protecting our environment. Busting an elk poacher is more glamorous than busting rafters, but still necessary.
Until there is an environmental impact that will be too late to save the trout, people will continue to dump their raw sewage into these waters. Rich Landers, help us.

This was a terrible hotel. They had our room as a double queen when I had booked it as a king room. We get to the room and it smells like smoke and the tv is on like someone was in the room minutes before. I call the hotel staff up front and they just said oh it was probably the house keeper. Over all I did not like the experience the hotel was nothing what it looked like in the pictures.

Les + : The pool area and grounds surrounding it are nice and inviting, they had had a lot of rain and where having to treat the pool often.
Les - : I think that someone from Days Inn corporate office should visit this location. It really tarnishes the reputation of Days Inns everywhere.
Situation : No restaurants or activities nearby.I already knew this but figured it accounted for the rate. We discovered Bill Millers Laguna Madre It was awesome!
Some of the room have been taken care of and some have not. We reserved 3 rooms- 1 for a full week and 2 for family that was arriving in the middle of the week. The room we got for a whole week was in good condition. The rooms that our family got were horrendous-towel racks falling of the wall the decor looked as if it had been just thrown in the rooms, bedding was torn. Those rooms looked like something that would be rented by the hour. The rate per hour for early check in was ridiculous, its not like they were full and had to have staff quickly clean a room for availability. Pet friendly -no way, they charge more per day for a pet than what I paid for the daily rate for the room. I had to walk to the office for ice the ice machine never had any in it. This is not usually a bid deal but the office is not attached to the motel sits a good distance away. The cleaning staff was very friendly - the only plus!!!!

Recap: Cs Struggle again in 4th, Fall to Trail Blazers
The Celtics held one of the NBA's top offenses under 100 points Sunday night, but struggled on the offensive end and lost 94-88. As to be expected, LaMarcus Aldridge led the way for the Trail Blazers with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Chris Kaman had 16 off the bench and Steve Blake chipped in 11. The Trail Blazers have now won 7 in a row.
Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger led the way for the Celtics in the scoring column, each finishing with 19 points while Rajon Rondo totaled 13 points 8 assists and 6 rebounds.
The first half saw a significantly better effort on defense than we have seen from this Celtics team all season. They held the Blazers to 35% shooting from the floor including a 2/8 mark from Damian Lillard and a 4/13 from LaMarcus Aldridge. The Cs would have went into the half with a bigger lead had they been able to shoot better than 40% from the field.
The Celtics put together another solid defensive effort in the 2nd half, creating 10 turnovers. However, they shot a woe…

How Can Terry Stotts Make Best Use of Portland Trail Blazers' Bench?
During Terry Stotts' first two seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, there was a common theme that was recognized across the NBA.
Rip City's bench simply couldn't hang.
Because of the obvious struggles, the reserves were hidden on the bench in fear by the coaching staff. However, in Year 3 under Stotts, Portland's second unit has seen enough improvement to warrant newfound faith from the man controlling the rotation.
Following a recent 97-87 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 15, Stotts said, "It was definitely a team win because we needed everybody's contributions," via The Oregonian's Mike Richman.
The head coach was right. Portland's second unit (and a starting Meyers Leonard, as well as a starting Allen Crabbe) stepped up with LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum sidelined.
Damian Lillard put together a very Lillard-like performance (28 PTS, 10 AST, 5 REB), but Wesley Matthews struggled, going just 3-of-13 from the floor.
"It just goes to show you that the young guys are getting better," Stotts said after Portland's bench outscored Brooklyn's 31-16.
At this point in the process, Stotts must take this confidence one step further by digging Portland out of the basement in terms of minutes played by a second unit. The team is currently 24th in that category, according to HoopsStats.com, but there's plenty of anecdotal evidence to support an expanded rotation.
Against the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 6, the Blazers bench outscored the Dallas bench 52-35 in the fifth game of the season. It shot 57 percent and hit seven three-pointers en route to a 108-87 victory.
Then there was the Nov. 11 comeback against the Charlotte Hornets. Steve Blake and Joel Freeland made big plays on both ends down the stretch, helping Portland to a 102-100 win after a 23-point deficit.
And don't forget the 53 points the second unit dropped on the Denver Nuggets during the Nov. 12 130-113 win.
"When everybody's shooting decent percentages and making shots, we have just as much firepower or more than any team in the NBA," Chris Kaman said following the win over Denver, via The Oregonian's Joe Freeman. "I don't think there's anybody that has more than we do."
Consider Kaman's comments to be the ego-boosted result of a blowout victory. Portland's positive morale off the bench is good to see, but it comes primarily from not being dead last in most major categories.
Then again, we're certainly seeing individual players step up during the early part of 2014-15. For instance, Blake has been the pass-first floor general Mo Williams never was. He's also played a crucial role late in games with his three-point shooting and gritty defense.
Then there's Kaman. He's a reliable defender and can score in a multitude of ways. His personal efficiency rating (PER) of 21.3 is also third-highest on the team behind Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge, according to ESPN.com.
Unfortunately, the Blazers are now dealing with an injury to C.J. McCollum. According to the Trail Blazers PR Twitter account, the sophomore has fractured his right index finger and will be out for at least four weeks.
Luckily for Portland, injuries have already proven to be less debilitating this season than in years past. Batum and Aldridge have missed time, and the team has instilled a "next man up" mentality with Freeland, Leonard, Crabbe and Will Barton contributing—something Stotts should continue to practice even as players return.
So, how can Stotts build upon the early success? A simple recipe of minutes and trust.
Despite the improvements, the second unit is still playing the seventh-fewest minutes among benches in the Association. That shouldn't be the case for a group that's posting a respectable 15th-best offensive efficiency, per HoopsStats.com, as well as an elite fifth-best defensive efficiency.
As far as the rotation goes, now is the time for Stotts to consistently test guys such as Crabbe and Barton as backup perimeter players if he thinks they have a shot.
Furthermore, the team is leading the Northwest Division comfortably. Playing a deep rotation should be the plan of attack when determining if players such as Leonard, Thomas Robinson and Dorell Wright can be counted on late in the year.
Amid the bench-centric analysis, it's important to remember this isn't solely about improving the second unit. It's also about preserving the starters for long-term success.
"The greatest thing for us was losing to the Spurs," Damian Lillard recently told The Oregonian's Joe Freeman, referring to the 2014 postseason. "Because we got to see what brand of basketball makes you successful and we got to see fresh body after fresh body and guys coming in comfortable against us. I think that's what we're getting to."
So, easy enough, right? Rest the starters, increase bench minutes and work toward a better, more balanced future.
Unfortunately, it's tough for coaches to convince themselves that rotation experiments are best when they already know what's working.
With the Blazers in win-now mode, they've taken their 8-3 start and jumped out front in a watered down Northwest Division. They're also about to enter a stretch in the schedule that (for the first time all year) takes them away from the friendly confines of the Moda Center on a more regular basis.
For any coach, that would be a frightening time to throw the reserves in the deep end. But if Stotts is smart, he'll take a Gregg Popovich approach now, preparing everyone in the rotation for a deep run in the 2015 postseason.

Trail Blazers Injury Update: Nicolas Batum hopes to return for Monday's game against the Pelicans
The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Brooklyn Nets last night by the score of 97-87. It was the fourth straight win for the Trail Blazers, who improved to 7-3 on the season, first in the Northwest Division. Damian Lillard lead the Trail Blazers with 28 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the floor, to go along with ten assists. Nicolas Batum missed the game due to a knee contusion, but he's hopeful to return on Monday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Georges Biard via Wikimedia CommonsOur own Eric Black reported on November 12 that Batum's right knee contusion was not completely healed and he would miss the game against the Nuggets. The diagnosis was good for the Blazers, as Batum was expected to miss only a few games. David MacKay, editor of RipCityProject, noted that Batum was scratched from last night's game as he continues to recover from the knee contusion. Allen Crabbe started in place of Batum and scored eight points on 3-of-8 shooting in 31 minutes.Batum, in his seventh …

Trail Blazers Injury Update: LaMarcus Aldridge is 'doubtful' for tonight's game against the Nets
The Portland Trail Blazers enter Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets coming off a 130-113 win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. At 6-3 on the season, the Trail Blazers sit on top in the Northwest Division. The Trail Blazers could be without leading scorer LaMarcus Aldridge due to a respiratory illness. Aldridge had 12 points, seven rebounds and six blocked shots in 30 minutes against the Nuggets. Aldridge left Friday's practice with the illness and according to SI.com, Aldridge is the third player on the Trail Blazers to be sidelined this season with an upper respiratory illness, joining Steve Blake and Meyers Leonard. With Aldridge likely to miss the game, expect Thomas Robinson, Dorell Wright or Leonard to see extended playing time.Aldridge, in his ninth NBA season out of Texas, is averaging 21.9 points and 7.9 rebounds in 35.1 minutes per game. In 586 career games, all with the Trail Blazers, Aldridge is averaging 18.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.Follow @PhilliesFan1969 L

Sadly, it is because most people have been
trained since Kindergarten to trust Authority before their own logic and morals. If Authority says a drug is medically helpful, they will take it despite side effects warned on labels and even experienced in their own bodies.
They are so dependent on the Voice of Authority they are being rendered unfit to survive using independent thought, intuition, common sense or any of the abundant ways human are equipped to survive in this world of harsh conditions and authoritarian vultures.
